I am actually struck by how misguided the “seeker friendly” churches are in feeling they have to soft sell the gospel to attract people. Jesus knew how to attract people and we do not have to water it down.
In the piece on Fox last night about how a leader of Hamas was converted to Christianity, he said it was the verse “love your enemies” that changed his life. Radical, fighting words were the ones that drew him to Truth. We do Christ and ourselves a disservice when we try to take the sting out of the Words of Christ”. They are there for a reason.
Here are the truths that “liberal Christians” try to avoid:
We’re all sinners, we sin all the time.
No amount of good works will “make up” for that.
Heaven is a perfect place, you will not be allowed into God’s presence if you are imperfect.
God himself provided the ONLY way to become perfect - Jesus.
Any other method of entry into “the fold” is fraudulent (John 10).
