They don\u2019t understand that we can\u2019t broaden the truth of Who the Lord Jesus Christ is any more than we can broaden the truth of Who God is. The Word of God tells us the truth of Who the Lord Jesus Christ is, and, again, the truth and faith that are in the Word of God give us the Christian faith, not the faith of another religion. In other words, the truth of Who the Lord Jesus Christ is gives us the Christian faith. This is the faith that is given to us by God in His Word. The Lord Jesus Christ does not \u201cmove the fence;\u201d that is, He does not change the truth of Who He is to be more inclusive. The truth is what it is whether people believe it or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him. (2 Corinthians 11:4)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Only \u201canother Jesus\u201d will change the truth and \u201cmove the fence\u201d to broaden the narrow way to include the broad way. This broadened way is not the narrow way but obviously the broad way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For instance, the false \u201cJesus\u201d of <em>The Shack<\/em> wants his followers to \u201cgrow in the freedom to be inside or outside all kinds of systems and to move freely between and among them.\u201d This false \u201cJesus\u201d conveniently includes \u201creligious\u201d \u201csystems\u201d in this freedom, and he says of his followers who \u201cwere Buddhists or Mormons, Baptists or Muslims\u201d \u2013 \u201cI have no desire to make them Christian, but I do want to join them in their transformation \u2026\u201d Since true Christians believe the truth and faith of the Word of God, which includes the truth of the true Lord Jesus Christ, of course a false \u201cJesus\u201d doesn\u2019t want people to be Christian. Besides, this way his followers can come to \u201cview God [as] being MUCH bigger than any particular religion,\u201d and particularly \u201cbigger\u201d than the Word of God and its Christian faith. In other words, in their transformation away from the Christian faith and Christian God they can come to view different religions as having \u201cthe same God.\u201d This is what is being taught here by this false \u201cJesus,\u201d who is clearly \u201cmoving the fence\u201d to include the broad way (and even himself).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils. (1 Timothy 4:1)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMoving the fence\u201d does not move or change the truth, it only moves and changes one\u2019s faith. Faith in the truth is true faith, and faith in untruth is faithlessness because faith in untruth moves and changes one\u2019s faith from faith in the truth to faith in untruth. But, naturally, those who are undergoing the transformation of the broad way don\u2019t see it that way. They prefer to believe that the truth is untruth and untruth is \u201ctruth,\u201d so if their faith is in untruth their \u201cfaith\u201d is in \u201ctruth,\u201d and then faith in the truth becomes faith in untruth, and faith becomes faithlessness and faithlessness becomes \u201cfaith.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This way, this broader untruth (\u201ctruth\u201d) of a broader \u201cJesus\u201d can now fit inside other religions so they, too, can have faith in untruth and believe it is faith in the truth. And this is man\u2019s idea of \u201clove\u201d?! Yet they see it as having faith in a \u201creimagined\u201d Jesus and a \u201creimagined\u201d way and a \u201creimagined\u201d truth that gives everyone a \u201creimagined\u201d life, because then there will be no problem for anyone, right? Only in the blinding absurdity of make-believe, which is all they will have left since they are making it taboo to believe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and for ever. (Hebrews 13:8)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For I am the LORD, I change not. &nbsp;(Malachi 3:6)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son. He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. (1 John 5:9-10)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world. Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God. (1 John 4:14-15)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. &nbsp;(John 14:6)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Contrary to the devious false teachings of <em>The Shack\u2019s<\/em> \u201creimagined\u201d \u201cGod\u201d of untruth, neither the true Father nor the true Holy Spirit are \u201cthe Son of God.\u201d It used to be common knowledge in Christianity that the Father is not \u201cthe Son of God;\u201d the Father is not the way to the Father. Likewise, it used to be common knowledge that the Holy Spirit is not \u201cthe Son of God;\u201d the Holy Spirit is not the way to the Father. The Lord Jesus Christ, Who is the true Son of God, is the only way to the Father. And only those who believe on the true Son of God receive the Holy Spirit. We cannot bypass believing on the true Son of God to come to the true God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Incidentally, in the New Age everyone is \u201cthe Son of God.\u201d Very convenient. This way everyone is their own way to God. This is also why people choose to \u201creimagine\u201d God. Although today\u2019s shifting Christianity now \u201creimagines\u201d otherwise, the true Lord Jesus Christ, the true Son of God, is not \u201cthe best way\u201d to God but the only way. There is no relationship with (or \u201crelating\u201d to) the true God apart from the true Lord Jesus Christ. On the other hand, <em>The Shack\u2019s<\/em> \u201creimagined\u201d \u201cJesus\u201d naturally claims to be \u201cthe best way\u201d to \u201crelate to\u201d its \u201creimagined\u201d \u201cGod.\u201d Of course a false \u201cJesus\u201d is \u201cthe best way\u201d in every sense to a false \u201cGod\u201d! In truth, the true Lord Jesus Christ is the only way to the true God. Think about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although it all used to be obvious, sadly, nothing is obvious anymore for those who are rejecting the faith of the certainty of God\u2019s truth to believe the faithlessness of the uncertainty of man\u2019s untruth, and then absurdly flipping it all upside down and backward, spinning in the never-ending circles of man\u2019s \u201creimaginations.\u201d Their defense against the light is quite an effective defense. They just are not willing to accept that in the true truth of God\u2019s truth\u2014as opposed to the untrue \u201ctruth\u201d of man\u2019s untruth\u2014we are born again through the Holy Spirit by the Word of God that gives us the truth of Who the Lord Jesus Christ is, which is indispensable to the true Gospel of Christ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.\u2026 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.\u2026 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him. (John 3:3, 6-7, 36)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. (John 17:17)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away: But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you. (1 Peter 1:23-25)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith. (Romans 1:16-17)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. (Romans 5:1)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This all used to be common knowledge in Christianity, when light was still the preferred light, truth was still the preferred truth, faith was still the preferred faith, and the Gospel of Christ was still the preferred Gospel. Now everything has changed. And the self-proclaimed \u201cchange agents\u201d have changed it all on purpose. Congratulations on their success. Now, the true God is no longer the preferred \u201cGod,\u201d and the true Lord Jesus Christ is no longer the preferred \u201cJesus.\u201d But, naturally, they don\u2019t see it that way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
