Good morning, body of Christ. My ongoing MZTV series on 1 Corinthians chapter 15, emphasizes the foundational elements of Paul's gospel. The most important thing I have said thus far in the series is that error is the opposite of truth. For some reason, this is a shocking revelation to many. Why? Because almost all of Christianity believes the opposite of the truth. This becomes a problem when emotional, sentimental believers among us want to get more people into the happy little
fold, and so they will—are you ready for this?— they will try to make non-belief in the truth the same as belief in the truth. This is commonly referred to as compromise.
Some call it hypocrisy. I call it selling out God and Christ for the sake of artificially swelling our membership ranks. Such an evil exercise waters down truth and gives error a benefit of the doubt that it does not deserve.
This is the height of evangelistic irresponsibility.
Whose responsibility is it to bring someone, anyone, into the body of Christ?
It is God's. If God has pre-designated a person for membership in the the body of Christ, then he or she will eventually acquiesce to the truth. This would of course necessitate a simultaneous surrender of error and would end the fence-sitting careers that most wishy-washy people indulge in. I love it when this happens.
In this edition of the ZWTF, I talk about foundational truths necessary
to the understanding of God, Christ, and the plan of salvation. Not
all of the truths discussed here are foundational to eonian life, but most of them lead to those truths that are.
I commend this edition to you, especially the last section called, "Riding the Rail." My goal in teaching is to drive people off the fence of compromise
and into the arms of the true God and Christ. You can do the same
by posting this ZWTF on social media. I am thanking you ahead of time for becoming fellow evangelists together with me.
Yours from the Floridan peninsula,
