CULTURAL CHRISTIANITY

CULTURAL CHRISTIANITY 

CULTURAL CHRISTIANITY has taken over our world.

The definition of CULTURAL CHRISTIANITY per Google is, (A cultural Christian is someone who identifies as Christian but may not practice their faith or have a personal relationship with Jesus. They may have been influenced by their family, experiences, or the culture they grew up in. 

Cultural Christians may be non-theists, atheists, deists, pantheists, apatheists, or transtheists. They may believe they became Christian through baptism, church attendance, or by being a good person. 

The term "cultural Christian" can be further specified by denomination, such as "cultural Catholic", "cultural Anglican", or "cultural Lutheran."" 

Some say that cultural Christianity can be dangerous without a relationship with Jesus. Others say that cultural Christianity means seeking the God one wants, while biblical Christianity means seeking the God who is.)

False Christians are everywhere in everything. 

Paul warns us in

2 Timothy 3:1-7 

This know also that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

Paul tells us to turn away from these people, don't listen to them them because he will creep into our houses and lead us captive. Notice what Paul said they lead silly women laden with sins ever learning but never able to come to The Knowledge Of The Truth. Women get offended by statements like this, but honestly, I ask who was tempted in the garden? Satan came to Eve and tempted her because she was the one who was easily deceived or tricked, and she was too willing to believe what he said. Satan knows women. Satan knows women feel and are emotional beings. Satan knows that if he tempts us with the needs of our family, then we will cave quickly. Just because someone says Christianity culture has influenced their lives doesn't mean that they are Christians.

Be aware of the language used by politicians, preachers, and teachers. Do not be deceived 

Everyone is not a Christian,  

read 1 John 4:1-3

Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

Jesus Christ said it like this in

Matthew 7:21-23 

Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

A Christian is a person who believes in Christ Jesus. Belief in Jesus Christ alone makes a person a Christian. When you read The Bible, you will find 

Christ Jesus Is The Only Begotten Son Of God And The Only Way Of Salvation. 

1 John 4:9 

In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.

Acts 4:12 

Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

John 14:6 

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

1 Timothy 2:5 

For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;

CHRISTIANITY IS A RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD THROUGH OUR FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS. CHRISTIANS ARE ONLY ABLE TO HAVE PEACE WITH GOD THROUGH JESUS CHRIST ALONE.
