Posted by Temmy Sun, March 21, 2021 7:49pm Why Do Unbelievers Bother Distorting the Bible?
These are just a smattering of the plentiful verses throughout both the Old and New Testament testifying to the fact that God is indeed a judge. So, yes, as many others have pointed out - Lemon is quite incorrect when talking about the nature of God and his purposes through His creation. What's interesting to me, however, more so than just a severely flawed basic understanding of Christian beliefs, is the fact that he is firmly tethered to this newly invented version of God - and quite comfortable describing Him publicly in this way. We've seen more of this type of man-centered, modern theology purporting to be Christian confidently presenting itself with increased frequency. For example, an openly gay "pastor" recently went viral for claiming Jesus was a racist who later "repented" of his alleged "sin." This person with the title ‘pastor' took the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, who lived a perfect and sinless life and sacrificed Himself on the cross for His people, and reduced him to just another sinner in need of saving. It's quite difficult to imagine anyone preaching a message like that truly believes what they are saying. The gap between reality and this woke-goggled version of events could span entire galaxies. Why would anyone worship someone like that? What would be the point of Christianity if Jesus is unable to save? There are major issues with Lemon's position whether he claims to be a believer or not. If he is a believer, for the reasons stated above, it is problematic. Lemon has said in the past it's "naive" and "dangerous" to believe the Bible is the literal, inerrant, Word of God. Those whose political views and lifestyles find themselves at odds with Scripture often land in a similar place. Arriving at a fork in the road, they must choose - my sin, my life, my way, my politics - or the God of the Bible. Sadly, it is becoming all too common to see ‘pastors' and others choose their sin and their way over God's way. Perhaps even more perplexing is the unbeliever who continues to be committed to distorting and twisting Scripture. Once someone leaves the faith, there is no logical reason to distort what's in the Bible. Yet, despite the abandonment of adherence to anything remotely resembling a Christian worldview, many like Lemon still feel the need to convince others of something the Bible definitely does not say. This could be explained by Romans 1:18-19, that men know the truth of God and are without excuse and suppress the truth in unrighteousness. They cling to their sin and desperately try to bend and mold and twist and shape the Bible to fit their current lifestyle so they don't have to change. Whatever the specific reason, this phenomenon can only be either a) ignorance or b) a willful and sinful desire to lead others astray. If Lemon's distortion is due to ignorance, I pray he has seen one of the many posts - such as this - that have tried to point him in the right direction about who God is and who he isn't. If his distortion is intentional and knowing, I pray for those who may be tempted and swayed by his false teaching. That they may know the Bible is the Holy, inspired, infallible Word of God, and not be drawn into a life of sin and rebellion. I also pray for those who find themselves at that fork in the road, at that very moment the Bible confronts us in our sin - and trust me, it will do that. I pray they cry out to God at that moment with all that is in them, and choose the path that leads to life. The Bible is not some book of handy life-hacks to take or leave whenever you feel like it. It is God's special revelation for His people in written form. It's the way God chose to communicate with us - and "all Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work." Those, like Lemon, who proclaim to pride themselves on being intellectual, should go to greater lengths to understand the position of others before going on national television and misrepresenting them. Especially someone in news. If they can botch something as basic as the core beliefs of Christianity, what are we to make of all the other news of the day they cover? Source |
