  1. Galatians 1:6-10

  2. Evading The Truth

  3. The Doubter • Psalm 14:1 “The fool has said in his heart, ‘There is no God.’ They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none who does good.” • “New Testament not correctly translated!” – pick & choose what they want and don’t want • “How do we know the Bible is the word of God?” John 20:30,31

  4. False Interpretations • Use of Carbon 14 Dating to prove evolution – dates of rocks with known dates only off by .268 – 3.49 million years – ‘What date do you want?’ • 2 Peter 3:15,16 “beloved brother Paul… in all his epistles.. People twist to their own destruction, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures.”

  5. “Does not apply today.” • Baptist Manual, p22 they admit there was only ONE CHURCH in 1st century, but times have changed. • 2 Timothy 3:1-5 “1 But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: 2 For men will be …without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, 4 traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power…”

  6. Sermon on the Mt. Applies Only to the Apostles • Attempt to avoid application of what Jesus taught on Divorce & Remarriage to All Men this side of the cross. • Matthew 28:20 “teaching them to observe ALL THINGS that I have commanded you…” • 2 Timothy 2:2 “the things that you have heard from me…, commit these to faithful men…to teach others also.”

  7. Some Try To Evade All Truth That Condemns Practices of Many Churches “PEACE AT ANY COST!”

  8. Jesus Taught Principles That Are Universally Applicable • Cover Entire World, Not just Local Customs • Intended to guide our conduct • Include instructions concerning the Lord’s Supper, church discipline, etc. • It is our duty to accept these principles

  9. Difference between Professor & Practitioner • Professor admits a principle to be true, but does not put it into practice! • Matthew 7:21 “he who does the will of My Father in heaven.” • Luke 6:46 “do not do the things which I say.” • James 1:22 “doers of the word, and not hearers only…” • Titus 1:16 “in works they deny Him”

  10. “Just a Book of Ideals…” • New Testament presents beautiful ideals • Sermon on the Mt. turned world upside down! • Evaders say these ideals were not meant for practice • Jesus gave principles – no mere ideals • Matthew 5:21,22,27,28,31-34 • Matthew 7:29 “one having authority”

  11. Cannot Evade the TRUTH OF GOD’S WORD! • Matters not whether we ignore it Now, or try to explain it away… • It will stand as the criteria by which we will be judged in the Last Day – like it or not! • John 12:48 “the word that I have spoken will judge him in the last day”
