Jesus of the gospel versus false Jesus of the modern zeitgeist

Deutsch

Not everything that says Jesus on it also contains the Jesus of the Gospel. Rather, it is a “contemporary” Jesus Christ who does not want to cause offense anywhere, ensures peace among people and just spreads love around him. A Jesus as the embodiment of unconditional tolerance. In keeping with the modern zeitgeist from the pens of human strategists for dreamers.

The renaissance of “a” Jesus

The name Jesus is booming. There seems to be a kind of renaissance of the Christian faith taking place. In view of the disintegration of all morals, the obvious decline of society, which was considered completely impossible just 10 years ago, and the excesses that have now gotten out of hand, a “rock in the surf” seems to be the only way to escape this motley hustle and bustle or even a to prepare the end. The attacks against the gospel and Jesus Christ, who is at the center of it, can no longer be overlooked. If there are events on a global scale, there is even talk of openly celebrated Satanism at their ceremonies.

Supposedly (still) Christian

The Roman Catholic Church is one of the traditional supporters of Christianity, no matter how far removed it may actually be from the true Gospel. Catholicism represents Mithraism more than Christianity (Info), but the Church of Rome “at least still acts as if.”

The situation is different with the institutional, once Protestant churches in Germany. The cherished creed is still “Christ and Martin Luther,” but the actual appearance and espoused values ​​of these once evangelical churches testify to their actual position among those who are most vocal in their contempt for the Gospel. The numbers of members leaving both churches speak for themselves. Now more people are fleeing their church because of their faith rather than their unbelief.

Defacement of the Gospel

The real contempt for the gospel on the part of the major churches is expressed less in the setting aside of the Bible than in the complete distortion of the true message. As different as the Roman Catholic Church and the earlier Reformation churches were, they now have one important thing in common.

The denial of the exclusive salvation of Jesus Christ. What has traditionally been the case in the Roman Church, because alongside Jesus Christ there is above all the (Catholic) Mary and a whole army of “saints”, has long been a well-established practice in Protestant institutions as well. As a well-behaved returned daughter, it is not appropriate to contradict the “one, holy, universal, Catholic mother” in Rome (Info).

Jesus Christ is alive – That bothers some people

But Jesus Christ cannot be “killed”, even if the Roman Catholic Church wants to symbolize this a thousand times using the ritual of the Eucharist (Info).

The adversary knows full well that he has long since lost the rebellion he started. He knew of his defeat at the time of the resurrection of Jesus Christ after His crucifixion. A reason for the Church of Rome to prefer to depict Jesus dead hanging on the cross. Because He was never allowed to resurrect. Therefore, this celebrated, constantly repeated sacrificial ritual is more an act of bitterness and irascibility than a liturgy that has gone completely out of control.

Selling yourself as Christian applies to the Catholic Church as well as to today’s churches that still call themselves Protestant, but can declare Jesus Christ as non-existent. This is impossible because Christianity is defined by Jesus [the] Christ (Anointed One) per se. A complete denial is therefore impossible. So that the people hated by the “murderer of men and the father of lies” (John 8:44) can still be pushed into the abyss together with him, all that remains is the complete mutilation of the message of salvation of Jesus Christ.

This begins with denying Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the exclusive gift of salvation. Something like that shouldn’t exist within the framework of ecumenism, otherwise one would also have to tell Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus and “natural spiritualists” about the gospel. Just as Jesus Christ “actually” told his followers to do.

Not everything that says Jesus on it is Jesus

So, tell people who are still curious and looking for salvation something about a “new Jesus”. One that has some of the features of Jesus Christ of the Gospel, but spreads a completely different message. Just as there are no alternatives to Jesus Christ for salvation, there are also few “special paths” possible. The general abridgement of the actually very well-known verse John 14:6 alone shows clearly where the path taken should lead (abridged passage underlined):
“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.“

Characteristics of the “modern” Jesus according to churches

As exclusive as Jesus Christ is for the salvation of people, the path to be followed is also exclusive. However, the Jesus and His teachings that are predominantly taught by the churches today differ significantly from the Jesus Christ of the Bible and His true gospel.

Jesus tells about God’s justice

The justice of God is not just an accessory, but is equal to the love of God and also to His grace. This justice of God, which is rarely spoken of today, is actually the foundation for all grace. One must not make the mistake of understanding justice as a pure “reward principle”. In any case, man does not deserve any reward in any way. Everything, life, as well as the possible (not by blanket watering can) grace are a pure, undeserved gift from God.

Justice is based on laws

God has formulated rules for man. These are rules that, if you look at them closely, reflect the character of God. The same 10 commandments that Moses received on Mount Sinai using two stone tablets. These were not new laws. They were also valid before. However, Israel, which left Egypt after staying there and suffering slavery for 430 years, lost sight of these laws as well as the principle of the possible redemption of man.

Anyone who ignores or violates one of these laws has committed a sin (1 John 3:4). Whoever sins must die, as in Romans 6:23:
“For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.“

Whoever sins must die. God’s justice would leave no alternative. If the sinner were to simply get away with it, it would be unjust. Unfair to the one who has to pay for his sin. That would even be unfair to Satan if he were finally destroyed for his crimes, but another sinner came away with a “black eye”. One of Satan’s central accusations against Jesus Christ or God is the rejection of injustice, even tyranny through unobservable laws.

Grace, i.e. the undeserved remission of punishment, is only made possible exclusively by Jesus Christ, our Creator, through His self-sacrifice. He died as “responsible” for His creation in place of sinful man. Jesus suffered the just punishment for this, death. This penalty was paid. Jesus Christ could only be resurrected because, despite all the temptations that other people experienced, He himself remained sinless.

God’s justice “in spite of” His love

The justice of God is fundamental. Yes, God loves all His creatures. The Heavenly Father “after all” sacrificed His own Son for the sake of the (possible) life for man, John 3:16:
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.“

No, God will not save all people across the board. Neither the law (gültigen Gebote – Info) has been abolished nor righteousness (eternal righteousness, Psalm 119:142). The love of God does not allow people to run carelessly into destruction, but just as God does not take anything away from people’s free will.

Every person decides for themselves whether they want to accept the exclusive path of salvation offered by Jesus Christ or take the alternative path. The alternative, whatever it may be, always results in the sins committed sticking. Because he has thereby rejected Jesus Christ and so the sins remain with the sinner. This person has to answer for it himself and because of God’s eternal justice we already know today what consequences await the sinner. More about God’s justice – here.

Jesus conveys hope and peace

A Jesus who corresponds to today’s zeitgeist conveys a prosperous life and, above all, strives to ensure peace in this world. The oft-read thesis, “Thank you for accepting me as I am and for allowing me to stay as I am,” is half the truth and the other half a lie.

Yes, God accepts every person and loves them, whatever their character may be. But under no circumstances, and this is nowhere to be found in the Gospel, does God say, “You may remain as you are.” Just one verse dispels this deception, Matthew 5:48:
“Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.“

The erroneously communicated will of God

The love of God for His creatures is so important that the propaganda machine is running at full speed to completely misrepresent this love (Info). This “package” includes “something” more, 1. Corinthians 13:13:
“And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.“

Pseudo-world peace

Jesus Christ, or faith in Jesus Christ, better, having the faith of Jesus Christ, creates peace. But not “world peace”, but peace in your own heart. Furthermore, it was not the intention of Jesus Christ to ensure peaceful coexistence between nations when he first appeared in this world. He even categorically ruled that out, Matthew 10:34-36:
“Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. And a man’s foes shall be they of his own household..”

Such a thesis that Jesus wants (at least) to ensure world peace at His second coming (Info) only serves the erroneous thesis of a 1000-year kingdom of peace on earth.

This fairy tale also included the very active rumors about a secret early rapture of the Christian community (Info). None of this is the case, because such stories do not appear in the Gospel. The 1000-year kingdom of peace on earth is a (malicious) fantasy of those who made it their job to send people to destruction (Info).

Threatening negligence and carelessness

The great danger in accepting these erroneous teachings is to misunderstand the actual explosiveness of the situation. This primarily concerns each individual person. “Why worry about your own salvation now when the kingdom of peace offers another chance? You also see whether Jesus Christ really exists, because After all, this one wanders around on earth. Or not.” Fatal if it turns out that this earthly kingdom of peace will never be the case for 1000 years. Once the time has come, any realization will be far too late.

Individualism – Rome spews poison and bile

One of the direct fuels of this insouciance and carelessness is the “theology” of the current papacy. Francis has repeatedly declared individualism to be one of the “greatest dangers in the world.” His attacks against individualism are extremely massive (Info).

That’s the point. The individual human being also looks individually at himself in order to possibly determine whether his individual salvation would even be an option. Therefore, the gaze is drawn away from one’s own individuality in need of salvation, towards an assimilated mass of the “common good”. Man must act as a component of the whole for the good of the whole. But there is no salvation to be found there, especially not coming from Rome. Who would come up with the idea that there would be any salvation within a principle according to socialism, according to Marx and Engels? It just has to look Christian and it’ll fit.

The real hope of the individual human being lies in his faith and the associated, irrefutable trust. Faith in the saving work of Jesus Christ, His position, His work and His promises. This is what every individual person may hope for, in such a way that it will be seen as a fact by the believer,Hebrews 11:1:
“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.“

Self-exaltation instead of exaltation of Jesus Christ

Among the scariest stories of those who abuse the gospel as a prosthesis for lack of its own substance are the exaltation and even deification of man. Having lost all sense of their own insignificance and especially sinfulness, people are told that they can grow beyond themselves. Man is anything but an insignificant pine cone in the thicket of the forest before God, but this presumptuous self-aggrandizement is and remains an abomination.

It is true that God created man in His image, but this image does not describe the head, nose, arms, legs and toenails, but rather the character of God. This image existed in the Garden of Eden. To the point of Adam and Eve’s disobedience to God. The so-called first fall changed everything. Yet God did not reject His creation. It was a hair’s breadth from the edge, as the flood wiped out all but eight people, but it was a new beginning. God’s love and justice came into play together.

After the flood things remained as before

With the survival of Noah and his family, with Noah being named by God as the only faithful one, man’s fallen nature remained. Inclined to sin, still since the expulsion from the Garden of Eden. Already in the covenant with Noah (rainbow), God once again clarified human nature, Genesis 8:21:
“And the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man’s sake; for the imagination of man’s heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done.“

The prophet Jeremiah emphasized this human nature again, as if it were an intermediate state,Jeremiah 17:9:
“The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?”

Wicked from youth

By the way: God speaks of man’s wickedness “from youth” and not from “infancy”, let alone from “birth”. This completely contradicts the Catholic teaching of original sin (Info). Children are minors and therefore not capable of sin. This was also made clear by Jesus Christ, Mark 10:14:
“But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.“

Anyone who is one of the denouncers who uses the killing of children, especially in the Old Testament, to prove that God is a “vengeful, cruel” God should take into account that these children were removed early from life in this extremely challenging world. And afterwards the children go straight into eternity without any guilt. Eternity is significantly “longer” than a life expectancy of 80 years, and this eternity also takes place in a world that is no longer fallen.

Heresy is a tradition of the Roman Church

The traditional teaching of the Roman Catholic Church already propagates the deification of humans. Jesus Christ came into this world to deify man, as officially stated in the catechism. The “ancestors” of this church refer to Thomas Aquinas, who said:
“Because the only begotten Son of God wanted to give us a share in his divinity, he took on our nature and became man in order to make men divine“

It is striking at this point that in the Catechism of the Roman Catholic Church all the lies used by the serpent in the Garden of Eden are presented as official doctrine (Info).

This self-exaltation of man to the point of the divine can also be found in other religions. Areas in the hodgepodge of Hinduism spread this thesis. The “modern” New Agers also believe in such stories of their own divinity within a cosmos manifested from mystical energies. Fact is that the much-quoted Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, an apologist for the ominous “omega point,” was a Jesuit. On this topic it was probably just a “pure coincidence.”

Uncritical own “deity”

Anyone who considers themselves to be an “immature God” and only has to go through the stages of development hardly comes up with the idea of ​​testing themselves according to God’s standards. When Jesus Christ, who has already taken his place on the judgment seat, takes this man, who may be committed to the common good but still individual, to his chest, then the insight of the still not deified man will come far too late. Luke 18:14:
“for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.“

If anyone deserves to be exalted beyond measure, it is Jesus Christ. God did it and so do the angels.
Philippians 2:9:
“Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:”

Revelation 5:12:
“[Angels] Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.“

Such life wisdom that can be read on every corner today, such as “listen to your heart, live your dream, follow your inner voice”, can all be smoked in the pipe. (Info). Das ist die Religion des Humanismus, und nicht das Evangelium.

Christianity united in love for Jesus

Everyone loves Jesus Christ! Where does something like this exist, or when did this ever exist? Anyone who looks through the Gospel to find out at what time the world ever loved the Lord or Jesus Christ will not find anything in the Old or New Testament. Jesus Christ was also everyone’s Lord in the Old Testament and therefore the only connection to God. “I am who I am” (Exodus 3:14), said the Lord in the burning bush to the completely astonished Moses. That was Jesus Christ. The same Jesus Christ who spoke to the outraged Pharisees (John 8:58):
“Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.“

Love was never widespread

The history of God’s people Israel in the Old Testament shows a predominantly apostate people. They turned to the idols of neighboring nations. The prophets sent by God to admonish people, who did nothing other than proclaim the word of God and His law, were generally hated, persecuted and even killed by the people. Jeremiah heard the people’s answer, Jeremiah 6:16-17:
“Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein. Also I set watchmen over you, saying, Hearken to the sound of the trumpet. But they said, We will not hearken.“

Just as the world and even their own people hated the prophets, so they also despised the Lord and His statutes. Paul recalled the laments of the prophet Elijah, Romans 11:3:
“Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life.“

Jesus Christ Himself revealed the relationships of affection and dislike that prevail against Him and His followers, John 15:18-19:
“If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.“

Majority will persecute minority

Just as Jesus Christ was persecuted, so will His faithful ones be persecuted, John 15:20:
“Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.“

When Jesus Christ speaks of “the world,” then He means at least the majority of people. Because there is only one world in which humanity is involved as part of a battle between good and evil. What world should this be, in which all were united in loving Jesus and His message? A majority, even the united Christian world? There are only two alternatives here. Either it is a world in a parallel universe or it is a false Jesus Christ.

A misrepresented Jesus

There is no such universe in a parallel dimension. Therefore, what remains is a depicted Jesus who does not actually exist. Everyone in the world, with a few exceptions, hated, persecuted and even killed Him. Likewise His successors. If, on the other hand, a teaching is accepted on a broad level, so that there is no contradiction but rather widespread support, then one should immediately become suspicious. Because the Word of God, the Gospel, has never changed. The message, a double-edged sword, today is identical to the message in ancient times.

The united Christianity, presented as the “body of Christ”, even worldwide, can therefore only be succumbed to false teaching. United Christians according to the Bible, yes, but only and exclusively and without alternative in the truth of the Gospel. Such persecution as Jesus Christ and His disciples experienced, as well as the Gospel faithful during the Dark Ages caused by the Church of Rome, will happen again.

This is where it becomes clear who is only a Christian in name or who actually shows obedience to God and will therefore ultimately be counted among the persecuted (Info).

Cuddle gospel without reproach

Today’s message goes something like this: A God who “only” loves and his son who only conveys a cuddly love would never come up with the idea of ​​criticizing a person. “God loves you as you are,” is the message. No matter what your inclinations are, God will welcome you. After all, man, as he is, was created that way. With His death, Jesus Christ abolished the laws and all that was left was the all-overwhelming, limitless and unconditional love. Therefore, what reason would Jesus have to warn people about sin and judgment? Everything obsolete. Just believe in Jesus and do whatever you want.

Tolerance towards every person, accepting them as they are, is the motto. This applies at most to people, but not to all of their inclinations and not to their practiced religion. Charity certainly, but no participation in his possible worship of idols. Sharing is also impossible. A common prayer to “one God”, who could not be more different depending on the religion, does not become a “unity God”, even if this is repeated millions of times. Impossible.

Jesus Christ provided a clear edge on this, Matthew 6:24:
“No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.“.

Limited limitless tolerance

Today, the truth can only be told, even in other areas of everyday life, as long as the defined tolerance limit allows it. This limit is set by those who simultaneously preach and urge “limitless tolerance”. This fictitious red line is crossed when the (true) words could lead to “injury to the other”. This also applies if the addressee’s own relative worldviews and “self-identifications” completely contradict reality. Criticism is taboo because it is “hurtful”. This is against the commandment of the united human family. Tolerance and recognition are essential prerequisites for the common goal of the common good.

Therefore, Jesus Christ would never criticize a person, because this ultimately led to soul injuries, exclusion and of course discrimination. This philosophy, adulterated with the label of the gospel, corresponds to the obvious imposture of the current papacy.

Jesus Christ wanted to reach sinners

The Jesus Christ of the Gospel, as a human being, was definitely a model of practiced charity and, above all, of true faith. He cared for the poor, the marginalized, the weak and the sick. Above all, and this is where the modern cozy gospel ends, sinners were His favorite “contacts”. He did not come to “save” the righteous because they did not need enlightenment to be saved because of their loyalty to God and understanding of the path of salvation. Jesus Christ sought out the erring, the spiritually blind and the tempted. Matthew 9:13:
“But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance..”

The first word of Jesus Christ after beginning his ministry to the people was: “Repent!“.

Jesus Christ was not a fluffy teddy bear

Repentance of what? Of sin! This warning and call were core parts of the messages of Jesus Christ. He usually did this in an understanding, conciliatory tone. But where appropriate, Jesus Christ not only did not hold back on criticism, but went into full confrontation. This is certainly not in a crooning, angelic melody wrapped in cotton balls.

In Matthew chapter 23, He dealt with the scribes and Pharisees and called them “hypocrites” a total of seven times (KJV). The first “sweeping out” of the Temple from the money changers and traders in Jerusalem was preceded by the making of a hostage from ropes. Jesus Christ certainly did not hold this whip in his hand to add nice accents to a loving performance as a prima ballerina. And the tables did not fall over because of rapture at such a display (John 2:13-18).

There is no such Jesus Christ who does not admonish, even with a sharp tone. In Hollywood and the like, such Jesus figures are definitely created. But it’s just a dream world. Such a dream world, as told in the current series “The Chosen”. (Info).

What do pastors and priests preach?

Pastors or priests who only tell what is good in their congregation, avoid any criticism, let alone point out people’s sinfulness, and also refrain from preaching about the truthful way out, are fundamentally suspect. They need to be questioned about which sources they actually use for their stories.

But as a pastor or priest you want to be loved. Warnings and reprimands could alienate people, 2. Timothy 4:2-4:
“Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. 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; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.“

For the serious believer who actually wants to know the truth and also the real way out of the mess of this world, there is nothing left but to turn his back on such “Zeitgeist preachers”. Paul also calls for this, 2. Timothy 3:5:
“Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.“

Majority does not equal truth

Majority has never been a synonym for truth. History, even recent history, often shows that the majority who supported a thesis were rarely actually in the truth. A majority of “united Christianity” loving Jesus Christ and His teachings is surreal. There is a “worm in the wood”, something “rotten in the state of Denmark”. Moses already received clear indications that the majority does not mean truth, and especially not when the masses follow a false gospel, Exodus 23:2:
“Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil; neither shalt thou speak in a cause to decline after many to wrest judgment:“

The Bible, the Gospel, predicts, and the time until then appears to be very short, that all “small and great, all rich and poor, all free and bond” will give themselves a mark, on the right hand or on her forehead (Revelation 13:16). That sounds like a majority. It is the “Mark of the Beast” (more info). The emphasis is on “becoming oneself.” There is no question of coercion at all. The focus is therefore on the temptation to commit an act or belief that will lead directly to ruin.

A small minority will refuse this mark, even under threat of harsh sanctions. Humanity was able to experience (test) such a process in the years 2020 to 2023.

Therefore, absolutely, “Come out of her, my people!” Where out? Here the info.
