I quit not the church.
For years I have heard this new theology. It is a belief that God is good. He is love. Jesus is not the only way to God. He might be the best way. Save Mother Earth. All roads/religions lead to God. God will take care of you, as you seek the path that is right for you. The Bible is full of good stories, some might be wrong, but it is full of good life lessons. We don’t want to hurt their feelings, so we don’t want to follow all the teachings of Jesus. It goes on and on.
The church has adopted these beliefs and really I have had enough. Why have the Bible if you are not going to believe it all? Why believe in a God that cannot write a book correctly? Why go to church, if it is all what I want to believe? I can do that on the lake. Why preach about the teachings of Jesus if we are afraid they will hurt someone’s feelings? Why believe in a God that created two sexes, but obviously He got that wrong because there are now 7.1 billion? Why do this anymore?
Thus says the Lord: “Stand by the roads, and look, and ask for the ancient paths, where the good way is; and walk in it, and find rest for your souls. But they said, ‘We will not walk in it.’
The Lord tells His people at the time of Jeremiah and now to return to the ancient paths. Jesus put it this way, “Follow Me.” He is the Ancient of Days. He is the Old Way. So if one is truly God’s, they are on an ancient path. A path despised by modern Christians because it is a path of total surrender. It is a path that is not easy at times. It is a path that is all about the Lord.
But the modern church has said we will not walk it. Therefore, I quit listening to this new theology that leads away from God to self. I want the ancient path. I want the Ancient of Days, The Lord Almighty.
