Rising Illiteracy: The Church’s ‘Biblical IQ’ Has Never Been Lower: In a poll by the Barna Group, half of those who described themselves as Christians didn’t believe that Satan exists, and one-third were confident that Jesus sinned while He was on Earth. It seems to me that in the church today, there’s a rising biblical illiteracy among professed followers of Jesus. Our biblical IQ, if you will, never has been lower. As George Barna put it, “Growing numbers of people now serve as their own theologian-in-residence.” What we believe about God and what He says about Himself is the most important thing we could focus on and think about. In fact, what we think about God has everything to do with how we live our lives. Our views of God will determine how we react to what comes our way in life. Yet, we don’t have to check our brains at the door when we choose to be followers of Jesus Christ, because Christianity is a reasonable faith. It is a logical faith. We need to think and act biblically, not emotionally. Far too many people today emote when it comes to God. They feel, but they don’t think. They say things like, “I don’t believe in a God of love judging anyone,” “My God would never do thus and so,” or the classic, “I’m not into organized religion; I’m just a really spiritual person.” C.S. Lewis gave this warning: “If you do not listen to theology, that will not mean that you have no ideas about God. It will mean that you have a lot of wrong ones.” Yet, someone will say, “Well, I just love Jesus! Can’t we just set these things aside?” That is a nice sentiment, but here’s the problem: What if you end up loving the wrong Jesus? For instance, if the Jesus whom you supposedly love sinned while He was on Earth, as half of the self-described Christians in the Barna poll believe, then what kind of savior is that? If the Jesus you love is not the Jesus of the Bible, then effectively you’re an idolater. You’re worshiping another god. Interestingly, the Bible never tries to prove the existence of God. It simply starts with these words: “In the beginning God …” (Genesis 1:1). This assumes the obvious. It assumes that people know this is true. And frankly, I think it takes far more faith to believe there is no God than to believe there is one. People today are willing to accept the premise of God, but it seems they want a god in their own image. Let’s make sure we are worshiping the true God as He is presented to us in the pages of Scripture. https://harbingersdaily.com/rising-illiteracy-the-churchs-biblical-iq-has-never-been-lower/ [I found this on Amir Tsarfati's feed. It is long--over 8 hours.] Amir's Bible Biyes Devotionals: https://mailchi.mp/beholdisrael/amirs-bible-bites-devotionals-1007367-q7a8ch7s7m-11466146 @patrician so so good!! Even so, come Lord Jesus, come!! I love Amir and his teachings…. I just hoping this is the year 🙏 @patrician Amir said post - tribulation rapture doesn't make sense. I do think why would God take us up and send us down immediately. What's the point? However, I love the way Amir said it: what is it? a bungee jump? Although, in that regard, the post-tribbers have a point in that townspeople went out to meet kings returning from war and accompany them back to town. And the people went out to meet Jesus and accompany him when he rode into town on the donkey. I'm not switching sides, but don't see any reason to smart off or be mean to people who come to a different interpretation or understanding, Amir.
