For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring. Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device.
My children attend a Christian school...and these days that has less and less meaning. A few of the students went to visit Berea College last month, which claims to have a wonderful Christ-based program. Not only that, but they are able to provide full scholarships for their students, making their college education tuition-free. The students spoke so highly of their visit, that I added this to the list of colleges we are considering for our own children.
However, we must remember that there is "another Jesus, another gospel, and another spirit" which seeks to deceive people and lead them away from the True & Living God (II Corinthians 11:4). Anyone can claim to be a servant of Jesus Christ, but to which "Jesus" are they referring, and how do we know?
"To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them." Isaiah 8:20
In the following videos, a couple of street preachers visit the Berea campus and start referencing the word of God. The response of the students from this "Christian" College is nothing short of heartbreaking. They begin to argue adamantly against God's word while at the same time claiming to represent Him.
"He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him." I John 2:3-4
Please understand that I am in no way affiliated with these street preachers. I am speaking primarily about the students' own testimonies and whether such demonstrates a personal knowledge of the Lord. Do they know the Lord they claim to represent?
"This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me." Matthew 15:8
Although they attend a "Christian" college and claim to belong to Jesus Christ, every argument they make against the Scriptures is based in lies & deception, such as:.
- This [preaching from the word of God] is why people are afraid of Christians; we should just be showing people "love".
- If one's comments cause an adverse reaction from people, then one must not be speaking for God because He is not the author of confusion.
- It is unGodly to say that homosexuals are going to Hell because God created the homosexual too.
- Jesus has made all people one, so we are all the same to God.
- Judging is a sin. Only God can judge.
- Quoting the Bible as God's word is not an "objective" or "logical" defense of what is right.
- We all have a relationship with God - whatever gods or religions we have. The Bible is about having a personal relationship to the Lord - whatever "lord" you may believe in.
- You can never lose your salvation.
Each of these statements is false.
"The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple. The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes." Psalms 19:7-8
We have a "Christian" campus with college students who have no idea even who Jesus is. Why? Because they have rejected His words. Since there is no fear of the Lord, there is no understanding. All that we are left with then is a "highly educated" fallen and lost generation.
Although people don't like to hear it, there IS a right way and a wrong way...and only one leads to eternal life (Isaiah 30:21; Matthew 7:13-14; II John 1:6). The very ones this college is named after so reverenced the Scriptures that they searched them wholeheartedly to ensure that they were holding unto the truths of God (Acts 17:10-11). Now, in the name of the Bereans, we have professing believers teaching others that God's word is corrupted and can be discarded.
People can speak esoterically about "love" and "Jesus", but apart from the truths of God's word, they have neither.
This video is one of the reason's why Jesus' return must be soon. The days have truly become like Sodom and Gomorrha (Luke 17:28-30). If this is the future of Christianity, then the future for mankind will be damnation. This is why God must raise up a people (as He has promised) who really do love Him and desire to see others set free from sin more than they desire to enjoy this temporal life.
"Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? It is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men." Matthew 5:13

| Some students at "Christian" Berea College mock warnings for repentance by proclaiming a "Party in Hell" to celebrate sin. |
These students need prayer, that the power of God can come to bear upon their lives so that they actually come to know and serve Him. I can only wonder how much of their deceptions are actually the product of what is being taught at Berea College.
However, they are not alone. There are many adult "Christians" who promote the same falsehoods and believe the same lies. What is depicted in this video is simply a snapshot of what would likely make-up 97% of "Christianity" today. We will each have to answer to God in that day, especially those who have claimed to know the Lord but have purposefully led others astray. The blood of those lost souls will be upon their hands.
In these evil days, we must know unequivocally not only what we believe, but in whom we believe. Faith in a lie - no matter how fervent - still leads to death.
"But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?" John 5:47
