Bible Question: What would happen if we took the Sermon on the Mount Literally? |
Bible Answer: SAKII, how would you propose to take Christ's Sermon on the Mount, if not literally? For years we've stood by and watched the ill winds of liberalism cast their numbing pall on the modern church, and it is evident for all to see what happens when we cease to take God at His word. The winds of disbelief, the propensity to symbolize everything, the trend toward watering down the blessed Scriptures, which are the very breath of God, and explaining away everything we don't like or don't understand or don't agree with -- clearly all that is left in the wake of such a cavalier treatment of the Holy Scriptures is not the church but only a shell of what once was the body of Christ; not a regenerate follower of Christ but a Christian in name alone. ..... So, again, how would you suggest we take the Sermon on the Mount? --Hank |
