7 reasons to keep jesus
out of his church
out of his church
CONCLUSION
One final reason why we must absolutely keep the Jesus of the Bible out of today's church:
#7. Jesus said that His followers would be "hated," "persecuted," and falsely accused! -see John 15:19; Matthew 5:10-11; 2 Timothy 3:12. Now, obviously, Jesus didn't have the benefit of reading Dale Carnegie's best-seller, How to Win Friends and Influence People, nevertheless...MY GOODNESS JESUS, Your "hate-speech" became a self-fulfilling prophecy for You.
Rather than calling the religious leaders around You, "hypocrites," (see Matthew 23), You should have been finding points of commonality for the greater good...like Rick Warren is doing so fabulously.
Nobody's gonna want to be a part of a group whose leader is always warning about hatred and persecution. You wound up getting Yourself crucified because of it!
No wonder you said that only a few would be saved. -see Matthew 7:13-14. You're WAY TO NARROW-MINDED for the enlightened "church" of the 21st century.
