                    The Love Gospel Heresy
                    ======================

    What is the Love Gospel?  Is it Christian?  It certainly sounds good 
and positive.....and very loving (and not a bit judgmental)!

    The Love Gospel overlooks sound Biblical doctrine in order to accept 
those of other faiths as Christians.  The major emphasis is on love, 
brotherhood, and unity.  It is the foundation of Ecumenism and the trend 
toward a one world religion that will reign as we approach the end of 
the age and the return of the Lord Jesus Christ.

   To accomplish this unity, the Bible must be compromised or set aside.  
As doctrines of demons come into the Church the followers of the Love 
Gospel cry the loudest: "don't judge" or "you're causing division" and 
other such hollow arguments.

   The Love Gospel can be easily seen when error comes into 
congregations and those who love the truth are viciously attacked for 
standing up for soundness of doctrine.  Again the cry is "don't judge" 
or "you're causing division"!!!

  Here are some examples of the Love Gospel and the perversion of God's 
Word.  Watch as sound doctrine is ignored and the Scriptures are twisted 
to justify UNITY and tolerance of error at any cost.

------------------------------------------------------------
Love Gospel Example 1:

 Mark   9
  38  And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one casting out
 devils in thy name, and he followeth not us: and we forbad him,
 because he followeth not us.
  39  But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man which
 shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me.
  40  For he that is not against us is on our part.
  41. For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my
 name, because ye belong to Christ, verily I say unto you, he shall
 not lose his reward.
  42  And whosoever shall offend one of [these] little ones that
 believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged
 about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.

  Hey see these verses...I know that this group is different from us but 
doesn't the Bible say that 'he that is not against us is on our part'?
We are all brothers and lets unite and show them our love.
This is the Gospel...that we love one another.  (Doctrine is not really 
important - loving each other is)

                      What the Bible Says:

   Sound Bible-based doctrine really is important and we are commanded 
to defend the faith from those who would water it down, pervert it, or 
deny it.

 Jude   1
  3. Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the
 common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and
 exhort [you] that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which
 was once delivered unto the saints.

 Galatians   1
  6. I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you
 into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:
  7  Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and
 would pervert the gospel of Christ.
  8  But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel
 unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be
 accursed.
  9  As we said before, so say I now again, IF ANY [man] PREACH ANY
 OTHER GOSPEL UNTO YOU THAN THAT YE HAVE RECEIVED, LET HIM BE
 ACCURSED.
  10. For do I now persuade men, or God? or DO I SEEK TO PLEASE MEN?
 for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.

   Is Paul being loving here in Galatians?  Is he being divisive 
and judgmental?  In my opinion.... Paul is demonstrating his great 
love for Jesus by vigorously defending the faith against the invading
wolves and false teachers.  (Are you determined to please God or to 
please men? - Paul asks in verse 10)

Another POINT:
   Does the Bible say that everyone will be saved or does it indicate 
that there is a 'narrow' way to God?   Are Christians creating division 
by standing for the truth that Jesus Christ is the ONLY way to God?
(see John 14:6  Acts 4:12)

                 THE BIBLE SAYS:

 Matthew 7:13 
  13  Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide [is] the gate, and
 broad [is] the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be
 which go in thereat:
  14  Because strait [is] the gate, and narrow [is] the way, which
 leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
  15. Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's
 clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
  16  Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of
 thorns, or figs of thistles?
  17  Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a
 corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
  18  A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither [can] a
 corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
  19  Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down,
 and cast into the fire.
  20  Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
  21. Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into
 the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father
 which is in heaven.
  22  Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not
 prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and
  in thy name done many wonderful works?
  23  And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart
 from me, ye that work iniquity.

 1 John   5
  11  And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal
 life, and this life is in his Son.
  12  HE THAT HATH THE SON HATH LIFE; [and] HE THAT HATH NOT THE SON
 OF GOD HATH NOT LIFE.
  13  These things have I written unto you that believe on the name
 of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and
 that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.

---------------------------------------------------------------

Love Gospel Example 2:

 Matthew   7
  3  And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye,
 but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
  4  Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote
 out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam [is] in thine own eye?
  5  Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye;
 and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy
 brother's eye.

    Who are you to judge.  You a creating division in the Body of 
Christ.  How dare you say 'xxxxxxx' about this or that.  That is not 
very loving now isn't it.  You are creating division!  blah, blah, blah!
(Notice the very ones who defend error are very judgmental against those 
who stand up for the truth of God's Word!)

                      What the Bible Says:

    This is the cry of the Love Gospel.  Rather than submit to sound 
Biblical doctrine the goal is love and unity.  Judge nothing but those
who are eager to defend the truth of God's Word.  Whatever teaching may
come into the Church is to be left unchecked because 'God is 
the judge'.

   Are Christians commanded to JUDGE between sound doctrine and error
....or are Christians supposed to blindly accept any wind of teaching.
Lets look at the Bereans:

 Acts  17
  10. And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night
 unto Berea: who coming [thither] went into the synagogue of the
 Jews.
  11  These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they
 received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the
 scriptures daily, whether those things were so.

    Did the Bereans just blindly accept the teachings of the Apostle 
Paul?  No, God's Word says that 'they searched the scriptures daily, 
whether those things were so'.   Notice that they listened to Paul and 
then checked him out with the Word!  By searching the Scriptures the 
Bereans would be able to reject any false doctrine because it would 
not line up with the Word.  Searching the Scriptures to test for true 
vs false doctrine is something foreign to the followers of the Love
Gospel.

  God's Word goes on further to say:

 Matthew 7:15 
  15. Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's
 clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

 2 Peter 2:1 
  1. But there were false prophets also among the people, even as
 there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in
 damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and
 bring upon themselves swift destruction.

 1 John 4:1 
  1. Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether
 they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the
 world.

    TRY THE SPIRITS.  Does that mean to blindly accept teaching 
without testing to see if it lines up with the Bible?

 1 Corinthians 6:2 
  2  Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if
 the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the
 smallest matters?
  3  Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things
 that pertain to this life?

 1 Corinthians 14:29 
  29  Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge.

YES, CHRISTIANS ARE TO JUDGE BETWEEN GOOD AND EVIL!
  I think God's Word is very clear.  Christians are to put every 
teaching to the test and the measuring stick is the Holy Bible, God's 
Word.  If it does NOT line up with the Word....then REJECT it!

                CONCLUSION

 - We are NOW in the days where doctrines of devils are spreading 
everywhere!  The followers of the Love Gospel are actually part of the 
trend toward apostasy as prophesied would happen in the last days.

 1 Timothy 4:1 
  1. Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times
 some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits,
 and doctrines of devils;

 2 Timothy 4:3 
  3  For the time will come when they will not endure sound
 doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves
 teachers, having itching ears;
  4  And they shall turn away [their] ears from the truth, and shall
 be turned unto fables.

    We are also living in those days when many will not endure sound 
doctrine.  Rather than submitting to the Scriptures the Love Gospel has 
grown and can be found in many churches in our land.  Seducing spirits 
and doctrines of devils are coming into the Churches... and rather than 
rejecting them and standing for truth, the cry is:  'God will judge so 
don't you do it' or 'you are being unloving and divisive!'   

    Truly the Love Gospel is one of the doctrines of devils in our day 
and false prophets and false teachers are having a field-day undermining 
the faith. 

 2 Corinthians 11:13 
  13  For such [are] false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming
 themselves into the apostles of Christ.
  14  And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel
 of light.
  15  Therefore [it is] no great thing if his ministers also be
 transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be
 according to their works.

                    WHAT ABOUT YOU ???  

Do you love God enough to stand up for the Truth of His Word?  If you do 
then stand up and be counted and don't compromise your faith!

 Ephesians 5:11 
  11  And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness,
 but rather REPROVE [them].

 Psalms 94:16 
  16  Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? [or] who will
 stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?
