There are some 'christian' preachings you hear or movies you watch that sound like the truth but is not. If you don't know the Scriptures you will be led to believe that it is the truth.
This is Satan's strategy to mislead Christians and that's why we should pay very close attention to our good old Bible so we will recognize heresy when we see them.
Oprah's drama Greanleaf is one of such, having a semblance of Christian belief yet with a twisted and heretic undertone.
The drama featured two gay story-lines this week. It portrays that Christians who believe in God's Word on marriage and sexual immorality are arrogant, hateful and judgmental.
They make it seem that tolerating sin or sexually deviant people is an indication of unconditional love. That's why when you choose to stand by God's Word like Bishop and Lady Mae Greenleaf (in the drama) they call you old fashioned, achaic homophobes and judgemental.
While Christians (like the daughters of the Bishop and his wife in the drama) who are a tolerant towards homosexuality are called open-minded modernists, full of love and tolerance.
A pastor Gary said,
"A man in the Corinthian church is living in sexual sin. Everyone knows about, but no one wants to do anything about it, and on purpose! They think that tolerating sin is an indication of "unconditional love." In reality, it's an indication of spiritual immaturity.
The Corinthian believers don't understand that true love is about correction, salvation and restoration. They are unwilling to do the hard thing of removing someone from the church who is engaged in on-going, unrepentant sin. It's called "church discipline," and God still calls the church to practice it today."
*Couldn't post the storyline of the drama just some of the things it portrays.
It gives us a mental picture of what we see in our churches today. Christians have grown cold and tolerant towards sin. Rather than call out someone who unrepentantly flaunts his sin before everyone, they think it's a symbol of unconditional love to stand by that person.
Nobody is perfect. Yes. But when unrepentant sin is being flaunted among leaders of the church, 1 Corinthians 5:12-13 is quite concise on how to handle it(Charisma)
