The Counterfeit Church & Its “Feel-Good” Gospel
By Berit Kjos ~ Updated on March 19, 2014 “…if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.” Galatians 1:9-10 (Those are my Lord’s words, not mine! And I must follow Him!) |

Roma Downey’s contrary beliefs: “I think we all have a responsibility to see God in each other. That’s how I’ve raised my children – that no matter whose face they look into, they’re looking into the face of God, who’s in all of us.”[1] |
“An amazing thing is happening across the land. Jesus Christ is being ‘reinvented’… right in front of our eyes and hardly anyone seems to notice or care.”[2] Warren B. Smith, False Christ Coming
“The movie [Son of God] is cool, well made, gritty, authentic and emotionally connective,” said Roma Downey. “We wanted to make it an amazing theatrical experience to people who perhaps have never been exposed to the story of Jesus or the Bible.”[3]
“Last year I was contacted by a media group for The History Channel. They emailed me requesting my help in promoting their upcoming 10-episode miniseries called ‘The Bible’… I responded kindly telling them that due to the unbiblical nature of the series, I was unable to help promote it….
“I know in Scripture there are only 12 apostles…all men…. But in the film, there are 13 apostles, and the thirteenth apostle is a woman named Mary. Not only is she always with them, but she’s with them in the boat during the storm when Jesus walks on water….
“In Scripture, when one of the disciples are marveling at the architecture of the temple, Jesus says, ‘Do you see these great buildings? There will not be left here one stone upon another….’ But in the movie, no one is marveling at anything. …when Jesus sees a little girl in the crowd He kneels down to her, smiles, chuckles and playfully pokes the little girl, who giggles as Jesus’ quotes Scripture. The filmmakers take this powerful and frightening prophecy and turn it into a light and impish exchange with a little girl….
“…in the movie, Jesus never mentions the just penalty of sin, or that we need to be made into new creations through repentance and faith in Christ…”[4] Sunny Shell
The Rising Church of the World
“Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.” Matthew 24:4-5
In churches across America, the awe and holiness of the Scriptures are fading fast. While countless “born again” believers still delight in His Word, share His love, and pray for each other, the vast majority of church members have chosen a more secular form of “worship.” Many feel free to interpret the Bible according to their own liking. Consequently, a widening gap is separating God’s timeless Truths from the world’s more culture-friendly adaptations.
