It's very easy, churchians, to prove me wrong
Prove me wrong, churchians; it's very easy. Show me a gathering where the Word of God is being proclaimed. The simple, unadorned Word of God. Not the word of scholars, not the word of man, the Word of God.
You can't do that. No more than pharaoh could let the Israelites go.
You disdain the Word of God. You disdain the authority of God. When you aren't blathering from your own mind you are reciting from satanic modern version bible products.
Churchians, listen carefully: you can't even say Jesus is God come in the flesh.
Proof that you can't?
You've taken 'God' out of 1 Timothy 3:16.
And you live with that every day of your life. You approve of it. You have to. The spirit of disobedience in you would do nothing else.

Zwingli and Calvin both knew what the foundational thing was. To proclaim the actual Word of God. Not man's vain thoughts and words, but the actual written Word that is the Word of God. They knew it changed whole populations. Only it makes the call that is potentially effective.
Still, I can just feel that as a churchian reads this they don't grasp what is being said. "Yes, my pastor gave a wonderful sermon last Sunday..." No.

Got to remember that we are not asked to believe in a doctrine, or particular theological position or any degree of works but rather to come to Jesus freely. That is the extent and simplicity of the offer.
I know! I actually wrote this today on a financial message board where a thread turned into a political/religious thing:
"I should add that being saved does not require complete understanding of the Bible and of biblical doctrine. It requires a simple, humble faith. How does one get into the Kingdom of God? Simply recognition of the authority of the sovereign of the Kingdom of God."
I know I come across as a knucklehead on this blog most of the time. On other venues I usually throw out caveats like "I see Roman Catholics as my brothers and sisters in the faith, it's just their church that is unbiblical" and things like that.
It really is a big thing to remember that it's rather unusual for any Christian to have a complete knowledge/understanding of the Bible and of biblical doctrine. We can say, well even a Bunyan, a unlearned man of a small village had a complete knowledge of the Bible and doctrine, but a Bunyan is rather rare, so... We think of the ploughboy being able to read the Bible once translated into the vernacular (Tyndale's line), but it's rare for a ploughboy, or university professor, to get a complete understanding, or to devote the time necessary. If we counted Christians on that score there would be mighty few.
A humble faith. Regeneration. A new heart that we can't give to ourselves.
What goads me here is going after false teaching and also dead orthodoxy that seeks to instill the same deadness in others, usually by promoting the fear of man over the fear of God.
Still, they've taken God out of 1 Timothy 3:16, and they mock anybody who calls them on it. They are spiritually wicked. Has to be said.
Think of it this way: they will be in hell in the afterlife, but they don't stop there: they want you in hell with them.
And their assault is unending. They know they can wear you down by attrition. They know as long as God's elect are in the world they have the advantage over God's elect. But of course God's elect have the victory over them, but it is actions like myself pointing these things out that plays into that victory.
