34 Μὴ νομίσητε ὅτι ἦλθον βαλεῖν εἰρήνην ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν· οὐκ ἦλθον βαλεῖν εἰρήνην ἀλλὰ μάχαιραν. Matthew 10:34 (NA28)
34 Do not think that I came to bring peace on the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. Matthew 10:34 (translated from the NA28 Greek text)
As we saw the other day in our post on Christian unity, the genuine gospel does not bring all people together. It divides. Unfortunately, way too many so-called Christian leaders in the visible church are all about being as inoffensive as possible even to the point of compromising the gospel from the motivation to make their churches larger. The sort of “minister” who does that and his “ministry” is not of God, but is of this world and of the flesh. Below are the eleven tenets of the offense of the gospel. Enjoy and be blessed as you examine yourself.
