False teaching & Woke Christianity.

In the early church a false gnostic teaching of ‘reincarnation” was taught based upon Malachi 4:5 “Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the great and awesome day of the LORD comes.” The teachers name was Origen. He taught about reincarnation and that Elijah was reincarnated through John the Baptist. It was a false teaching. Jesus says this promise was fulfilled in John the Baptist (Matt 11:14). Origen’s teaching was finally officially condemned in the Second Council of Constantinople in 553, but we see many false religions teaching reincarnation like Mormons, Buddhism and Hinduism still today. 

Now we see “Progressive Christianity or Woke Christianity” worldviews teachings trying to come into the church today. A push of social justice and also nontraditional view of scripture on many topics (sex, gender and sin). They have even come up with eight points of belief. Members of this movement do not believe that the Bible is the literal Word of God. They also emphasize what is known as “collective salvation” over the biblical concept of personal salvation. The Bible is clear that God redeems those individuals who believe in Jesus Christ as Savior and rescues them from an eternity of being separated from Him in torment. John the Baptist was rough looking and rough in his teaching, but he had only one chord he knew to play “repent, repent repent” and he kept playing that one chord till Jesus came to him. Be alert many false teachers will come during the last days. 

2 Timothy 4:3-5 ESV
For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, [4] and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths. [5] As for you, always be sober-minded, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.

God Bless 
Pastor Michael
