The Trinity of Errors - Genesis 3:1

Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman, “Has God indeed said, ‘You shall not eat of every tree of the garden’?” - Genesis 3:1

    Beginning this new year I hope we all would recommit ourselves to dragging the errors of the false gospel out into the light! The false gospel is, as Paul said, “any other gospel” than what we find in the Bible - the recognized cannon of God’s inspired word.
    I’ve heard many ask, “How do we know when the Bible is being perverted by a false teacher?” Initially there are three distinct ways the word of God is perverted: a trinity of errors, if you will -
1.    Redefining the terms used in the Bible, i.e. such as “sin” or the meaning of “life” (or indeed - when it begins).
2.    Re-interpreting the scriptures to take on an entirely different meaning than what we have traditionally come to understand. And -
3.    Dismissing the Bible altogether as an invention of man.
“As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed.” - Galatians 1:9.
    Remember, Satan questioned God’s very words to Eve. Her naivety (and the doubt placed in her mind by Satan) led to the fall. We must remember that the greatest worldly force currently in use against the word of God is relativism. Again, this form of spiritual warfare comes to us directly from the father of relativism - Satan.
    First, Satan questions the veracity of God’s words. Next he will try to re-interpret them. Finally he will attempt to dismiss them as merely the words of mortal men. And he does all of this through the modern cultural phenomenon of relativism. I call it a phenomenon because relativism is the antithesis of the truth. The truth is evident to all those who are not spiritually blind. The truth is real and it is there for all to see. Just because we choose not to see something doesn’t mean it isn’t there. Our blindness is a choice, made by us to mitigate our culpability for our sin and our reliance on the world rather than the Word of God. When they redefine, re-interpret, or dismiss the word of God they are merely heaping fuel wood of the fires that await them in hell.
    It is incumbent upon us a s Christians to point out the trinity of errors that confound and condemn the world today. It is part of our ministry as given to us by Christ - “‘Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.’ Amen.” - Matthew 28:19-20.
    Let us start out this new year with the firm conviction that we will not sit quietly through the trinity of errors which dare to question the gospel of Jesus Christ! Let us be ready to preach in season and out.
