The False “Jesus” of Today’s Modern Church

Is There “Another Jesus” being Preached in Pulpits, Media, and Books in Today’s Church World?

MOST people who “go to church” love their “church” and pastor because they are never called to truly repent and lay down their lives!

“Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. 3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.” 2 Timothy 4:2-4 

When His disciples ask Jesus what the signs of His return would be, here’s what Christ gave as the first and foremost sign:

“And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple. 2 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. 3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? 4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you (false leaders). 5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.” Matthew 24:1-5 

Those who claim they are Christ (the Messiah), deceiving many, are frauds. More insidious though, are those false prophets who misled by not teaching sound (BIBLE) doctrine only. A “false Christ” is one who teaches any other “Jesus” that is not according to the revelation of Scripture – which reveals who Christ is. In order to gain followers, many who pretend to be representing Christ, build their ministry name and empire on lies – watered down messages that minimize what Christ and His holy apostles taught as the faith of the Gospel (Jude 3-4). They turn the grace of God into a license to sin (Titus 2:11-14; Jude 4).

The Holy Spirit warns us repeatedly of false prophet preachers.

“For the leaders of this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed.” Isaiah 9:16

Does God’s Word warn us of those who “preacheth another Jesus” and “another gospel”?

“For I am jealous (protective) over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ. 3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty (deceit, deception), so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. 4 For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.” 2 Corinthians 11:2-4 

As you can see from this passage above, Paul is greatly concerned for the protection of Christ’s sheep. This important passage above warns us of those who preach:

• “another Jesus”
• fueled by “another spirit” (other than the Holy Spirit)
• “another gospel”

To preach “another Jesus” is simplY to preach contrary to what Christ and His apostles taught (2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20-21).

“To the law and to the testimony (the Word): if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.” Isaiah 8:20

To get the hireling job at 98% of building-based local churches today, one must be a cross-less, Christ-despising, man-pleasing wolf. The wolf must seduce his prey to believe something, anything other than the original Gospel (Colossians 2:4, 8; Jude 3-4).

IF you depend on a local church gathering to get you pumped up about Jesus, you are not walking with Him!

The False Gospel and False Jesus being Peddled by Seminarian Wolves

The people who love their local church and church “service” formula are many times those who do not want to have to repent (2 Timothy 3:5). They love their darkness and do not wish to hear that Jesus commands, requires that they truly repent and lay down their lives. They are unrepentant and therefore love their flesh fed by the false pastors. They are of the same Christ-rejecting, hell bound rebellious nature as the 5,000 whose flesh was fed but departed when Jesus told them the hard truths of what He requires (John 6). These tares refuse to “endure sound doctrine” but rather cry out “give us smooth things.” (2 Timothy 4:2-4; Isaiah 30:9-10). | Repentance and Fruit 

Is it any wonder that most of what claims to be Christianity today is completely counterfeit? All true and honest Bible students see this for what it is.

This false Jesus is loved by most professing Christians, and by most of this wicked world. “He” brings so conviction or conditions and just accept everyone like they are without any demand to repent and change.

Here are some of the attributes of the false “Jesus” being peddled today by false prophets (adopted from another believer):

• He will allow everyone into Heaven (Matthew 7:21-23; Revelation 21:8, 27).
• He came to bring peace, instead of division (Matthew 10:34).
• He doesn’t require obedience (Matthew 7:21; Titus 1:16; 1 John 2:4).
• He doesn’t require holiness (Ephesians 5:25-27; Hebrews 12:14; 1 Peter 1:15-16).
• Every one He saves can never lose their salvation and is automatically going to Heaven (“once saved always saved,” eternal security) (Matthew 10:22; 24:10-13; Mark 9:43-49; Hebrews 3:6, 12-14; 10:26-39; 2 Peter 2:20-21; Revelation 2:26; 3:5).
• He only preaches on love (Matthew 10:34; Mark 9:43-49; Luke 13:3).
• He never says anything offensive (Matthew 13:57; Mark 6:3; Luke 12:4-5).
• He never tells anyone they’re wicked (Matthew 12:45; 13:49; 16:4; 18:32, 21:41; 25:26 etc.).
• He doesn’t require repentance (Matthew 3:2; 4:17; Luke 13:3,5).
• He calls everyone His children (Matthew 7:13-14).
• He will not send anyone to Hell (Matthew 7:21; 25:40; Mark 9:43-49).
• He wants you to do your own will (Matthew 7:21; 12:50).
• His commandments are just suggestions (Matthew 7:21; Luke 12:4-5; 1 John 2:3-5).

If you’re following this false Jesus, His real name is Satan.

Heresies put forth by the “MANY false prophets” we’ve been warned about have a divine purpose – separating the wheat/real from the tares/counterfeits!

“For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you.” 1 Corinthians 11:19

THINK you have a good church and the pastor isn’t constantly telling you that Jesus calls you to lay down your life? NOT! Wolf. Cross-less hireling wolf!

All who want Christ to save them from hell and yet refuse to listen to and obey His command to die to self, to deny self, and to take up the cross daily and follow Him, are hell bound counterfeits (Luke 9:23-24). “Depart from me” is what they will hear at the judgment (Matthew 7:21; 25:40).

RECENTLY, a kingdom sister in Christ gave a love offering to a dear friend of mine who is going on a mission trip. When she gave him to love offering, she kindly told him “Well, I’d rather give it to you than to pay the light bill at the church (the already RICH, lukewarm local church)!” This sister has a kingdom mindset/perspective and is sowing the resources Jesus is putting into her hands into the rich soil of Christ’s kingdom …. instead of wasting it on the lying, lukewarm frauds who “man” the pulpits of today circus world we call the “church.” Where to Give!

Who’s Lying?

“Strive (agonize) to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.” Luke 13:24

To walk with Christ is to be crucified with Christ – otherwise, one is not walking with Christ. There was no shortcut to Christ’s cross and there is no shortcut or way around the daily cross He calls us to take up. Think Gethsemane (Lk 22:40-42; Col. 3:3; Gal. 2:20; 5:24).

Debbie Lord writes:

In “Matthew 5:13 Jesus says: “Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.”

All the “Christians” following this false Jesus have no savour in their salt. They sound just like everyone else, they blend in and don’t bring anything different or special (God’s Word and His Christ) to the table, so they’re an easy target for ridicule and are disregarded by the world, and bring down the reputation of who Christ really is — and their “salt” is good for nothing except to be thrown down on the road and trampled on by the feet of men — totally disdained by the world. They are offering no Light and no savory salt to the masses of spiritually starving people who are desperately trying to fill the needs of their souls with everything but God and His True Word. The modern “church” has failed its assignment.”

Prayer: Father, in the name of Jesus I come to You, asking You to help me love You more and to be truly crucified with Christ. Please raise this vessel out of that place of death and burial to glorify You alone LORD. Teach me Thy ways LORD and keep my soul from the snare of the fowler as only You can do. In Jesus’ name, amen.

Tina McGovern writes: “It is astounding and amazes me every time people defend these actions and condemn the actions of the righteous who hold to the truth clearly brought forward in Scriptures. But…as we know…it takes false followers to follow false teachers and false prophets…all in hopes of becoming extravagantly rich to spend it on their lusts. It’s like manipulating the mind to feel free to lust guiltlessly. Dear Lord, You alone know the ones who are Yours. In your great mercy make a way where there appears to be no way, to deliver those who are deceived and fallen captive to the deceiver. Deliver them to the uttermost.”
