Subject: The gospel is not about a "nice" God |
Bible Note: Kalos: When on occasion in scanning the TV and radio media I chance upon a religious broadcast, more often than not I am exposed to a description of God that fits more the depiction of the jolly old elf who fills everyone's stockings with Christmas goodies than with what the Bible reveals about the nature and attributes of Almighty God. The reality of a wrathful God who would cast sinful human beings into hell is not an item in much of modern theology. God is pictured as having no other reason for being except to provide His creatures with abundant physcial health and vast material wealth. It is a self-serving idolatrous philosophy that is foreign to the message of the gospel of Christ. --Hank |
