Title: The Broad Way
Post by: Shylynne on March 17, 2004, 07:11:15 AM
Christ offends men because his gospel is intolerant of sin.

The pure teachings of the Scriptures stood as a bulwark against satanic delusions, but over time, the great truths have been buried under the rubble of counterfeit doctrines. The twentieth century, in many ways an age of great advancement and scientific wonders, is also an age of terrible spiritual declension. Prophetically we are living in the last days of the final conflict between the gospel of Jesus Christ and Satan, and the new age movement is Satan's master  plan to counteract truth.

"Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life,
but whoever rejects the Son will not see life,
for God's wrath remains on him." John 3:36

It is Satan's strategy to divert the mind from sin and repentance, so that salvation will become obsolete. The same lies as concealed in the new age theology, find their entrance in the so-called Christian churches of our day. After his 1000th telecast of his Hour of Power, Dr. Robert Schuler was congratulated by Mother Theresa, Billy Graham, C. Scott King (widow of Martin Luther King), all the living presidents of the US as well as entertainer Sammy Davis Jr. Dr. Schuler said the following:

"I believe the responsibility in this age is to positivise religion. (This does not have much bearing to you people being unity people, you are positive), but I speak about groups that are not positive even to what we would call fundamentalists who deal constantly with words like sin, salvation, repentance, guilt, and that sort of thing. I'm dealing with these people. What we need is to positivise the words that have only had a negative connotation. There is no  greater damage that can be done than to refer to the lost sinful condition of man."

The stage is set, the claims of Jesus are clear, yet in spite of
this the world is watering down these truths to accommodate all in a final confederacy aligned against the Word. This great conflict will culminate in the climax of history, in the return of Christ when the kingdom shall be given into His hand.

The Broad Way!

Spurgeon, "A Message from God to His Church and People"

"Wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many are they that go in thereat."

In my meditations I thought I saw a precipice, whose
frowning steep overhung a sea of fire. Leading up to
its brink I saw a road exceeding broad, a road which
was crowded from side to side with a thronging multitude,
who pressed and trod one upon another in their raging
zeal to reach the summit of the crag.

They went gaily on, merrily laughing, singing to sprightly
music; many of them dancing, some of them pushing
aside their fellows that they might sooner reach the
end of what they knew so little.

As I looked at that end which none of them could
see, I saw a cataract of souls, falling in a ceaseless,
headlong stream into depths unutterably profound.

This is the broad way of which we had heard so often,
wherein multitudes delight to walk. Sure and terrible is
the doom of every one who treads therein.

Among them perhaps your own children, perhaps your
wives, your husbands, your sons, your daughters, your
parents, going in that motley crew, onward, swiftly
onward, towards their dreadful end.

Christian men and women, hear the voice of God.

My God will cast them away; their end will be destruction;
they will be driven from the presence of the Lord. Let these
thoughts, my brethren, burn in your souls until all coldness
and indifference are consumed. Men die, and their souls
are lost. Men die and their bodies are laid in the grave,
but their souls descend into hell.

I am not one of those who would so delude your poor
souls, O unbelievers, as to make you think it a light
thing to fall into the hands of the living God." Spurgeon

Heb 10:31  [It is] a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
