Do You Misportray God?

[Samie]

Majority of Christian Preachers Misportray God.

How?

Thru the teaching that people are born in sin instead of in Christ. If people are born in sin, then God did not save Adam that day he fell into sin. Instead, He just folded His hands and did NOTHING that same day to save his child from drowning in sin. Not a nice picture of our loving Father, is it?

A good earthly father, upon seeing his child fall into the water, will do all in his power, even at the peril of his own life, to save his child from drowning, will he not? If an earthly father will, why would our heavenly Father not?

I believe that God, through Christ, saved Adam that same day he fell into sin, and reinstated him to his pre-fall status, an act that cost God His only begotten Son, the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. With Adam in Christ, all his descendants are born in Christ, instead of born in sin.

Did Christ teach that people start out in life NOT lost? In Luke 15, Jesus discussed the parables of the lost sheep, lost coin, and the lost son.

Notice:
1. Before the sheep was lost, it was with its shepherd. vv4 – 7
2. Before the coin was lost, it was with its owner. vv8 – 10
3. Before the son was lost, he was with his father. vv11 – 24

The lost sheep, the lost coin, and the lost son, did not start out lost. So with us sinners. Before we got lost we were initially with God. We were born NOT lost. And to be NOT lost is to be in Christ. Therefore, we were born in Christ, instead of born in sin.

If you still teach that people are born in sin, then you are not only misportraying God but also teaching against what Christ taught that the lost sheep, lost coin and lost son did not start out lost. Will you now portray a true picture of our loving Father, teach what Christ taught, and preach what he preached? Your choice…
