Only One Gospel

I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the grace of Christ, to a different gospel, which is not another; but there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the gospel of Christ. But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed.

Galatians 1:6-9

 

You are ready to listen to any false teachers who come to you. They might tell you about a different Jesus from the Jesus that we told you about. They might want you to receive a different spirit from the Spirit that you received from us. They might tell you a different kind of good news from the message that you heard from us. You seem to accept all this!

2 Corinthians 11:4

 

Paul and False Apostles

For I consider that I am not at all inferior to the most eminent apostles. Even though I am untrained in speech, yet I am not in knowledge. But we have been thoroughly manifested among you in all things.

Did I commit sin in humbling myself that you might be exalted, because I preached the gospel of God to you free of charge? I robbed other churches, taking wages from them to minister to you. And when I was present with you, and in need, I was a burden to no one, for what I lacked the brethren who came from Macedonia supplied. And in everything I kept myself from being burdensome to you, and so I will keep myself. As the truth of Christ is in me, no one shall stop me from this boasting in the regions of Achaia. Why? Because I do not love you? God knows!

But what I do, I will also continue to do, that I may cut off the opportunity from those who desire an opportunity to be regarded just as we are in the things of which they boast. For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ. And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works.

2 Corinthians 11:5-15

2 Corinthians 11

 

Preach the Word

I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom: Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables. But you be watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.

2 Timothy 4:1-5

The Just Live by Faith

For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “The just shall live by faith.”

God’s Wrath on Unrighteousness

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.

Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.

And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful; who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.

Romans 1:16-32

 

holding fast the faithful word as he has been taught, that he may be able, by sound doctrine, both to exhort and convict those who contradict.

Titus 1:9

 

For certain men have crept in unnoticed, who long ago were marked out for this condemnation, ungodly men, who turn the grace of our God into lewdness and deny the only Lord God and our Lord Jesus Christ.

Jude 1:4

We are living in the very last of the last days. The time of the apostate church, multitudes of false teachers found within the so-called Christian church, the great falling away — because they were never truly born again — doubters, mockers, scoffers, unbelievers, not in the world, but IN THE CHURCH!

Beware. Prepare. Remain steadfast, bold, and firm in the whole inerrant, infallible, UNCHANGEABLE, ETERNAL, living, and active Word of God.

Many seminaries and Bible colleges are a farce. Producing these false teachers to go out and supposedly shepherd a flock in the word when they are nothing more than ministers of Satan appearing as light. There is no light, no truth in them.

The Great Deception and the time of the Greatly Deceived is upon us.

Progressives Push to Remake Christianity in Their Image

 

“The Bible has become problematic.”

 

April 27, 2026

As many have noted in recent years, Christianity in the West is in decline, and a principal reason is that the “muscular Christianity” of a bygone era has been watered down by an infiltration of Progressives determined to weaken Christian morality by making it more “tolerant” and “inclusive” of Left-wing causes such as gender ideology and the feminist siege of the “patriarchy.”

A couple of recent examples demonstrate that Democrat preachers are out, loud, and proud of this subversive strategy.

First, in a 66-second video from the You Can Be Both podcast, Media and Messaging Pastor Joe Smith of Meizon Church in Gainesville, Florida, claimed that the Christian apostle Paul erred on issues like slavery and sexuality, tying it to his critique of traditional gender roles.

“’I’m going to say this in the nicest way possible,” he tells the host. “I don’t care what [the Bible] says. I just don’t care.” He went on to dismiss what he considers to be Paul’s ignorant and outdated take on morality. “At the end of the day,” he concluded, “I don’t care. He was wrong.”

Meizon, “a progressive, open & affirming church in Florida,” as Smith puts it on his Substack page, emphasizes inclusion for all regardless of sex, gender identity, or sexual orientation. Christianity, of course, already is inclusive of everyone who embraces Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior – but rather than “affirming” you in your sin, Jesus expects you to change, and that’s where Progressive Christians like Smith draw the line.

Needless to say, Evangelicals online denounced Smith as a heretic for his views on Paul and for undermining the divinely inspired authority of Scripture. But he is typical of Democrat pastors like Texas Senator-wannabe James Talarico, who are increasingly nudging the faith toward the kind of non-judgmental, Progressive messaging the Left wants the Bible to reflect in order to support their political aims.

In the second example, The Christian Post reported that a controversial video clip featuring Bishop Yvette Flunder, lesbian leader of the City of Refuge United Church of Christ in Oakland, California, was trending on social media last week. The 70-year-old Flunder, who is also the presiding prelate of The Fellowship of Affirming Ministries, drew flak for asserting that parts of the Bible are “problematic” and need to be rewritten.

“This is a very dangerous thing that I’m about to say now, … a bit dangerous. I’m of the opinion that we need a third testament because the Bible has become problematic,” Flunder told her approving audience in a clip  from the 2026 Samuel Dewitt Procter Conference in February, where Flunder spoke on the topic, “The SACRED FIRE: Igniting, Resilience, and Resistance.”

“‘Slaves obey your masters as you do the Lord.’ It’s a text,” she said, quoting Paul’s words from  Ephesians 6:5. “‘Let the women keep silent in the churches and if they have any questions let them ask their husbands at home,” she added, quoting from 1 Corinthians 14:34-35.

“Now, I’m a believer. My whole heart, I trust God with my whole heart. I wake up in the morning talking to God and God talking to me,” she continued:

But I am completely frustrated with the ways in which the text speaks to the kind of vitriolic God that makes those kinds of things. And people will say, “Well, it’s in the book.” And I said, “Then we need to pull that page out.”

And they said, “Well, you can’t do it. It’s the word of God.” I said, “No, it’s words about God. Come on now.”

It’s unclear what the distinction is that she’s drawing, but she concludes by stating definitively of Paul’s New Testament letters, “It is not the word of God.”

So Flunder, the leader of a church, is baldly announcing that wherever the word of God is inconvenient for her Progressive politics, it must be excised from the biblical “text,” as she puts it. God needs an editor, in other words, because Flunder knows better.

“You don’t need a Third Testament. You need first-rate repentance,” wrote Christian conservative podcaster April Chapman, referring to Flunder. In her own video included with the post, Chapman added,

You don’t get to stand in a pulpit, insult the word of the living God and say, “You know, I’m about to say something that’s a little dangerous,” and then pretend that you are speaking for Christ. You just knew what you were about to say was heresy. You are not being bold, you are just rebellious.

“Bishop Yvette Flunder did not merely question a passage. She told the church, in plain words, that parts of God’s Word should be torn out,’” Southern Baptist minister Rich Bitterman wrote in a blog post:

She said they contain bad theology. Then she said, with a kind of smiling violence that should make every Christian shudder, that “We need to pull those pages out.” You can almost hear it. Thin paper tearing. A hand reaching for the Book that has outlived empires, buried tyrants, steadied martyrs at the stake, and carried dying saints across the final river.

Today’s Progressives posing as Christian clergy are quite frankly not true believers at all, but agents of Satan hell-bent – literally – on dismantling the most threatening obstacle to Left-wing totalitarian power: the word of God and the Christian faith. This is why they are compelled to simply jettison the parts of Scripture that don’t comport with their social justice activism. And the fact that they are willing to declare this openly is evidence that their assault on traditional Christianity is gathering momentum and they smell blood in the water.
