Have you ever encountered people who believe Jesus Christ had long hair because of the artist's renditions of him? Or, that pictures of a man depicting Christ is a blessing?
Have you encountered people who believe we should forgive without repentance because psychology has changed the word of God?
Have you ever encountered those who think divorce and remarriage is alright with God because of their feelings and the cultural desire to believe it is alright?
I have actually had "Christians" say to me, "I get what the Bible says, but I believe......?"
It is astounding how many things modern Christians believe that are not Biblical and entirely supported by the culture alone. They do not know their Bibles and when they go to "research" it they poke around until they find a verse that looks good and a commentator who says what they like and will refuse to hear anything else.
Snatching words out of context is common now and attempts to reason with those who love their sin is an impossibility.
The fear of man is huge in the evangelical church. The fear that friends won't like them anymore or that family will exclude them as radicals keeps them stuck in very bad and damaging doctrines.
They know they will be excluded because it is what they do to others.
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;"
