UNGODLY ECUMENISM AND UNIVERSALISM - ROOT CAUSES OF THEIR ERROR – FALSE METHOD
Ecumenism has obscured the truth of the bible and the church. Ecumenism is against the uniqueness of Jesus Christ and his gospel. Ecumenicals are against the Christian mission and evangelism. Visible organizational unity of the church and also the unity of all other religions are their major objectives. Hence the unification of the religious groups is falsely considered as the mission of the Church. The contemporary false ecumenism is the embodiment of the degeneration of the concept of unity in spirit to organizational unity. It is the solution of man, not of God. It is the master stroke of devil which plunged the Church deep into unbelief. Emphasis is shifted from the Biblical mission of evangelism to efforts toward mobilizing a visible Church organization. All energy is spent on the organizational affairs of the Church. Evangelism was replaced by Church management. The modern ecumenical liberal theology is influenced by the philosophies of the world. Here preference is given to the views of men not of god. Ecumenism takes the unfortunate and cowardly stand that since other views do not accept us, we must change and adopt some of their beliefs, conglomerate or syncretize, so that we can move toward a peaceful coexistence. This means the ecumenical want the Christians to surrender our convictions to those who have a different set of beliefs. Their marathon dialogues with other faiths ultimately end up in compromising or even denying the uniqueness of Christ and declaring moratorium on the proclamation of gospel.
Modern ecumenical theology is pluralistic, relativistic, subjectivistic, inclusivistic and universalistic for destroying the objective and exclusive claims of Jesus Christ. New age is in the Church under the garb of modern liberal theology. Liberal theology facilitates the infiltration of the new age movement and pantheistic mysticism into the church through environmentalism. Environmental protection including love and concern for animals are major issues on the agenda of the ecumenicals. Modern liberal theology is the product of the new age philosophy. It has deviously misdirected the mission of the church into social work, environmental protection, and ecumenism. There is relationship between contemporary ecumenical movement, one world religion, antichrist and the ideology of liberal theology. Ecumenism is the program for the unity of world religions for the rule of false prophet and antichrist. Ecumenicals are the agents of antichrist for forming the world religion by fusing Christianity with other religions. The world religious system will try its level best, through all subtle ways and means, to eliminate the pure gospel from the face of the earth. True unity cannot be accomplished by pretending that there are no differences, but only by recognizing and respecting those differences, while focusing on the great truths of Christian faith. Here in this book, one of the biggest attacks on the Christian truth is exposed.
THE CULT OF CHRISTIAN UNIVERSALISM IS THE RUBBISH OF DEVIL WHICH SUBVERT TRUTH OF THE GOSPEL, DECIEVE ALL CHURCHES AND MERCHANDISE GRACE. Modern liberal theology has degenerated to lower levels. In the earlier days the liberals were teaching false gospels. But today they are becoming more offensive. They are now attacking those who preach the true gospel. In the past most children used to die of sickness, snake bite etc. But today most children are murdered by their own parents through abortion. The point is that the DANGER COMES FROM PLACES WHICH ARE EXPECTED TO BE PLACES OF SAFETY AND PROTECTION. In the same manner those who are supposed to be the guardians of truth are destroying and mercilessly perverting the truth. The modern heresy of glorious gospel of Christian Universalism is the satanic attempt to destroy the truth of the true gospel of Jesus Christ. The cult is the NAKED KING which was put to shame in the daylight. It is a deceiving spirit perverting the word of God, like the serpent of Genesis. When God says don’t eat, serpent questions it. When God says there is hell, they say there is no hell. When God says preaching the gospel and believing are needed for salvation, they deny it. According to them all including Satan will be saved. They are expanding the horizons of grace. According to their post-Tribulation Rapture, they wait for the antichrist. But Christians wait for Christ who will come to take the Church before tribulation.
THEY HAVE THE FALSE METHOD OF PREFERRING THE MAN-MADE TRADITIONS TO THE GOD-GIVEN BIBLE. THEY HAVE DIFFERENT VIEW OF THE WORD OF GOD AND THE BIBLE. They speak lowly and even derogatory things about the Bible, the written word of word of God which defines our true understanding of God and salvation. They argue that the promise of Jesus was Holly Spirit, and not the Bible which is a book. They say letter kills. According to them Jesus is the Word, not the Bible, and the Bible is only a relic of history. But they use the Bible opportunistically to establish their view. All the cult people do exactly this. They equate tradition with the Bible to destroy the church. In the name of tradition they introduce idolatry and push all the evils into the Church stream and pollute the Church. They say that Jesus is the image of invisible God. Hence they argue that Jesus is an idol. Hence they argue that idolatry is okay. In the name of the non-existing tradition they deny adult baptism to millions. Bible never denied adult baptism on any grounds. Rather that was the rule. Denying adult baptism because of the infant baptism, is unbiblical and evil.
PRODUCT OF THE ANTI-CHRISTIAN LIBERAL THEOLOGY. THE EMERGENCE OF THIS WRONG THEOLOGY IS BECAUSE OF THE FALSE MODERN THEOLOGICAL EDUCATION WHICH IS MOSTLY ATHEISTIC, LIBERAL AND ANTI-SUPERNATURAL. They attack the Bible and Christians, not because the Bible and the Christians are wrong. The reason why they attack is because they have a wrong theology ingrained in them bythe tragedy of modern theological education. They focus more on books of liberal theologians. They devote no time to read the Bible and pray. They must be re-educated if they are to be brought back to the track of right theology. We should know that it is most dangerous if we go wrong in our theology.
ANTI-CHRISTIAN SENTIMENT IS THEIR MAJOR MOTIVE. THEY TRY TO APPEASE ROMAN CATHOLICS AND THE ORTHODOXY, BY SPEAKING A FEW THINGS FOVORING THEIR TRADITIONS AND DOCTRINES, AND ALSO BY ABUSING THE PENTECOSTALS. BUT THEY MISERABLY FAILED. They thought that if they attacked the Pentecostals, then the Catholics and Orthodox people will be happy, and that they will get a red-carpet welcome to those churches. But they are totally wrong. In fact, the Catholics and Orthodox leaders really appreciate the doctrinal purity of the Pentecostals. Thus, in their sight, those who attack the Pentecostal doctrines are themselves becoming a laughing stalk in the society. The Roman Catholics and the Orthodox churches don’t deny hell. They don’t teach the automatic salvation of all people. They will not take up the false teachings of this shameful cult. No Catholic or Orthodox priest will ever come in support of their shameful cultic teachings.
THEY HAVE NO CRITERIA FOR THE FORMATION OF THEIR THEOLOGY. IT IS MERELY AN ANTI-PENTECOSTAL SENTIMENT. They are motivated by hatred. They are preoccupied with maligning the Pentecostal movement and bring bad reputation to it. They even attempt to humiliate some pastors even by making derogatory remarks and references to their social background of caste. They even try to project Pentecostals as anti-other religions with the intention of provoking the other religions against Pentecostals.
ALL THEIR ALLEGATIONS AGAINST THE PENTECOSTAL DOCTRINES ARE TOTALLY INVALID. Pentecostalism is doctrinally indomitable and is the most valid Christian theology. Pentecostals always believe that the anti-Bible traditions are invalid. Pentecostals have the most accurate view of worship. They never deny Father Son and the Holy Spirit. They believe in the full deity of Jesus Christ and worship Jesus. Praising and worshipping of Jesus is the perfect Biblical manner of Christian worship. Christians are not ashamed of this. They know this is right.
MIXING OF HUMAN GUESS AND HALF TRUTHS LEAD TO THE FALSE CONCLUSION THAT ALL ARE ALREADY SAVED AND RECONCILED WITH GOD. LIBERAL UNIVERSALISTS MISUNDERSTAND AND PERVERT THE BIBLE WITH LAME EXCUSES. Some of them claim that all men are ALREADY RECONCILED with God. But the Bible does not use the expression RECONCILED. The Bible only says that God is willing to reconcile and did what was needed to reconcile mankind with Himself. Faith in and obedience to Jesus is the condition which God requires from human side. Some other Universalists have used Col 1:20 to argue that ALL REBEL CREATURES, INCLUDING THE DEVIL WILL BE RECONCILED TO GOD IN THE END and there will be no eternal hell. BOTH THE POSITIONS ARE WRONG. The doctrine of universal salvation is a false doctrine, because it questions the authority of the Word of God and claims to know more about the nature of God than Jesus Christ and the apostles.
MOREOVER, TO SAY THAT ALL ARE ALREADY SAVED IS PLAINLY AGAINST GROUND REALITIES AND IS ALSO AN ACCUSATION AGAINST GOD. If all saved, why the fruits of salvation visible. When the universalists are claiming that all men are saved, they are in effect saying that the saved people in Christ are doing all the evils in the world. They are in practice mocking the very concept of Christian salvation. Mt 3:8 Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance: ROM 8:13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
ARE YOU SAVED IS AT THE SAME TIME THE MOST IMPORTANT AND ALSO THE MOST IRRITATING QUESTION. This question is the key introductory question in the preaching of the gospel. Because it helps to quickly take the person to the essence of the Christian gospel. But with regard to the critic, it is definitely an irritating question. BUT CHRISTIAN UNIVERSALISM MAKES THIS QUESTION IRRELEVANT. Their argument is that all are already saved, because God did it all on the cross. WE SHOULD NOTICE THE HYPOCRISY OF CHRISTIAN UNIVERSALIST’S METHOD. They use vague passage to deny the clear meaning of numerous passages. It is very clear that universalism does not fit with what Jesus or Paul or John say elsewhere. Their favorite verse is Col 1:19-20 “For it pleased the Father that in him should all fullness dwell; And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.
ERROR OF THEIR LOGIC. They failed to save all through God given method of evangelization. Hence, they change the theology according to which all can be considered as already saved. Thus, they make a feeling that they have accomplished something and everything is okay now. It is utter non-sense. IT IS LIKE THE DRUG ADDICT WHO FEELS GREAT ABOUT HIMSELF AFTER TAKING THE DRUG.
THEY FAIL TO HARMONIZE THEIR VIEW WITH THE NEW TESTAMENT VIEWS. Read Mt 24:42-51. Here the unfaithful servant was caught off-guard. If Universalism is true, then Jesus Christ would not have to say: be alert. If Universalism true then Jesus Christ would not have to say that it was better for Judas not to be born? If Universalism true, then the Bible would not have warned against the false teachings and apostasy. In Acts 1:6-8 the return of Jesus linked to evangelizing the world. But no Universalist will preach gospel risking life.
THEY TRY TO LEGITIMIZE THEIR CULTIC TEACHINGS BY THE MISUSE OF THE BIBLICAL PASSAGES AND TYPOLOGIES IN ORDER TO PROMOTE THEIR UNIVERSALISM. THIS IS MERELY A FAULTY GUESS WORK. The meaning of types and analogies is so stretched to the extent that, it is used to teach a doctrine which is not justified through the passage. Thus, the fact that Joseph did not punish his brothers cannot be used to teach that God will not punish unbelievers. THE FALSE GOSPEL OF UNIVERSALISM IS THE RUBBISH OF DEVIL. It is totally a guess work. His theology, interpretation and solution are all wrong.
