OH LORD, IT’S MONDAY! AND THERE’S NO TRANSFORMING GRACE
Posted on December 20, 2021 by Pastor Randy
According to progressive theology, there is no need for grace that transforms us for the following reasons:
-
God loves us just the way we are
-
God wants us to love Him just the way we are
-
God wants us to love others just the way they are
-
(Sounds good so far, right?)
-
Because God loves us just the way we are and because we love others just the way they are, He blesses and sanctifies the way we are
-
That loves erases the idea that we have been infected with sin–i.e. changes that sin into holiness without us changing a thing, other than being loving
-
We are free to keep living the way we have been as long as we love others
-
Loving others must include accepting, condoning, approving, AND blessing their sin of choice
-
The only parts of the Bible that are accurate and relevant are those verses that talk about unconditional love
-
Jesus died on the Cross so that WE can determine what is right or wrong, as long as we love
And thus we see the state of the world and the powerlessness of the church that only APPEARS to be religious with no power or authority!! Boy do we who HAVE been transformed ever need to hit our knees often!! 🙏✝💗😢📖
