Re: A Different Gospel
How wide is the distinction between the Gospel of our Lord Jesus
Christ and, that other gospel of which Paul speaks, and, which is indeed
no gospel [Gal 1:6-9].. That other gospel teaches that man is not so
very bad; that he has a Divine spark....It tells man to cheer up, think
good thoughts believe in himself, turn over a new leaf, chip in and help
keep the wheels of the Church machinery moving, and everything will come
out right in the end. This gospel denies the personality of Satan and
the punishment of the wicked; it has a heaven but no hell; a Christ but
no Cross; a leader but no Lord....It has soft words for sinners....At
its shrines it serves soothing sophistries to itching ears. In the place
of Scripture facts it has silly fables; it denies the doctrines of the
Bible and dishes up doctrines of devils....The gospel of gush has no
grip upon men. The demand of the day is for strong, sturdy preachers of
the pure Gospel of Grace, and zealous followers of the living God.
--T.C.Horton (1910)
Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart
from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of
demons, speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared
with a hot iron, (1 Tim 4:1-2)
But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you
than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. (Gal 1:8)
For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this
book: If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues
that are written in this book; and if anyone takes away from the words
of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the
Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written
in this book. (Rev 22:18-19)
