It’s Offensive

“For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.” – 1 Corinthians 1:18
The body of Christ, which is His Church, is for believers; it’s not a mixed multitude that results from softened, accommodating churches. The Church is in retreat across America and dead in the rest of Western Civilization as a feminine pantywaist sissified Christianity is afraid to hurt someone’s feelings. The world is dying under the weight of the sin curse; billions are on their way to the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. Why would God do that? Because He’s God. It’s offensive! He is holy and needn’t seek to know men’s feelings about who He is.
Concern for the lost is no reason to reply against God as though the clay had some power over the potter. We don’t need to take it easy on them; they don’t need to be coddled; lost sinners need to hear the truth.
We’re losing our civilization because Christians won’t be salt and light, speaking righteousness to all men. The churches everywhere have compromised to suffer their feelings that take offense at the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Jesus and His word are a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence; too bad. If the word of God hurts someone’s feelings, that’s between them and God. No man is responsible for another man’s feelings. This would bring total ruin to civilization, and it is. Their feelings are theirs and theirs alone. The churches are turned into whited sepulchers full of dead men’s bones.
There was a signal moment in each of these churches. Somebody asked that the blood of Jesus Christ not be discussed so much. Or, somebody asked not to talk about sin so often, death, or hell. Somebody said; don’t ask spiritual questions that might cause anxiety. Perhaps it was one of these or some other, but that’s how it started. And it happened, at some point, the leadership relented, allowing a toehold for the spirit of antichrist, and all manner of sin and ungodliness came sweeping through the door shortly thereafter because nobody was allowed to be offended.
If Jesus Christ hadn’t offended the wise, making Himself despised, you never would have heard of Him because that’s not Christ. The American church allows the world to dictate what it does appeasing every manner of unrighteousness.
The Gospel is an offense? We should be offended by the full-scale surrender of the churches to the comfortable experience of conscienceless feelingless protection. The Church is dying for this very reason, and with it, your country! The Gospel is offensive because it eats at the center of all religion, leaving a man helpless before the Almighty, entirely at His mercy. That’s the scandal of the cross; there’s nothing any man can do.
Everywhere they’re headed for outer darkness to burn, they’re condemned already, and there’s nothing they can do but depend with all trust in the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ to keep them from the harm. The cross is an offense to them that perish!
Where does it end? It ends, at least partly, in a church run by the women and children, making it all about feelings and a comfortable, inclusive experience for everyone. Why aren’t Christ’s men filled with holy righteous indignation at this offense against His holy name?
These feminized churches soft-peddling the new religion have crawled back behind the gates of hell, but the Gospel is coming for them. The true Church is coming for them all, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it; shall not withstand the onslaught of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. No man will glory in His sight. Every man must choose; will they be destroyed in their wisdom?
“26 For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: 27 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; 28 And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: 29 That no flesh should glory in his presence.” – 1 Corinthians 1:26-29

Should Christians be “nice”?
Ann Barnhardt explains how the false virtue of “being nice” is systematically destroying the United States, the Church, and Western Civilization.

The nicest thing a Christian can ever do is to tell a man that his sin has offended God, that for his sin, he is found guilty before God, who is the Judge, that for this guilt of sin, not sins but that he IS a sinner, he is condemned already to suffer death, and eternal wrath abides on him. But Jesus Christ already suffered that wrath for him upon the cross of Calvary taking all the man’s accounts and settling them with Holy Father God, that on the day judgment God would see Christ’s purchased possession; a forgiven son of God who has been made joint-heir with Christ in His kingdom.
Be a man, tell them with concern, but don’t hold back from the ugly truth of it all; he is God’s enemy. But be ready, for those called of God will ask, how so? You must be prepared to show them to besiege God for forgiveness admitting guilt, and asking for life and life eternal that they may enter into the Kingdom of God and of His Christ. There’s no formula; belief by faith that Jesus paid it all upon the cross, plus and minus nothing.

The posting needs to be read.
The Denominations have become Worldly – they rather be nice than correct.

As he points out, any one of us can be deceived and seduced. Including saints.
