THE PREACHING OF THE REAL JESUS II Cor. 11:1-4; Mark 13:21-22In the closing years of Laodicea, the real meat of Christianity is stripped from the bones and trashed, leaving only a frail skeleton, bearing no resemblance to the Jesus of the Bible. Unlike the modern Laodicean Jesus, the Bible Jesus preached . . .I. SELF DENIAL, NOT SELF ACCEPTANCE - Luke 9:23II. SCRIPTURAL AUTHORITY, NOT TRADITIONS OR FEELINGS - Mat. 15:1-9; 4:4; 22:29, 31III. ABOUT SIN, JUDGMENT AND HELL, NOT EAR-TICKLING MOTIVATIONS - Mat. 5:22, 29, 30; 10:28; Luke 16:23; John 8:34; 16:8IV. DIVIDING TRUTH, NOT UNIFYING LIES - Luke 12:51; John 7:43; 9:16; 10:19V. PERSECUTION, NOT PROSPERITY - Mat. 10:22; 13:21VI. REPENTANCE OF SIN, NOT MERE PROFESSION OF SALVATION - Mat. 4:17; Luke 13:3VII. ETERNAL TREASURES, NOT TEMPORAL PLEASURES - Mat. 6:19-21 Paul warned of "another Jesus" in II Corinthians 11:4, and about the only reason that so many people profess faith in Christ is the fact that they've embraced an altogether different Jesus than the true Jesus of the Bible. Eventually, they will worship the Antichrist himself (Rev. 13). William Booth (1829-1912): "I consider that the chief dangers which confront the coming century will be religion without the Holy Ghost, Christianity without Christ, forgiveness without repentance, salvation without regeneration, politics without God, and heaven without hell."
