SUNDAY SNAPSHOT (WHO NEEDS GOD? - 3)
Americans seem to be migrating away from RELIGION at an unprecedented rate… CHRISTIANITY in particular! But it’s not because the alternatives are necessarily all that more appealing! People are leaving because Religion/Christianity has apparently lost its appeal with them… it’s not what it once was! Where once RELGION/CHRISTIANITY seemed to be where you went for the ANSWERS… it’s now being viewed as the PROBLEM! If that’s you… then I personally believe it might be that your VERSION of GOD is/was the WRONG VERSION to begin with! Join us again this week at COC as we continue looking a little closer at this growing concern in our world today in regards to… WHO NEEDS GOD?
Sunday Snapshot… (Wk3) THE BIBLE TOLD ME SO
Christians don’t believe THE GOSPELS are RELIABLE because they’re in THE BIBLE… Christians believe THE GOSPELS were INCLUDED in THE BIBLE because they're considered RELIABLE!
CHRISTIANITY made its greatest strides in the 282 years… BEFORE the BIBLE EVEN EXISTED!
For the first 300 or so years of Christianity… the DEBATE centered on/around an EVENT… (The Resurrection) NOT on a BOOK!
The SUCCESS of the First-Century CHURCH was centered around EYEWITNESS ACCOUNTS to the RESURRECTION of JESUS!
The SUCCESS of the FIRST CHURCH is NOT because THE BIBLE TELLS ME SO! (Because…) THEY HAD NO BIBLE TO TELL THEM SO!
If YOU are Doubting God... (Maybe…) The “GOD” you originally believed in was the wrong “god” to begin with!?
