Contrariwise, denying God\u2019s revelation of Himself, they have \u201cmade\u201d Him in their <\/strong>image. As they have done with the Father, so they have done with His Son, Jesus, the Christ.<\/span><\/p>\n A.W. Tozer described this revisionist, feel-good, man-made \u201cJesus\u201d in his book, The Dwelling Place of God<\/em>:<\/span><\/p>\n It is a Jesus, gentle, dreamy, shy, sweet, almost effeminate and marvelously adaptable to whatever society He may find Himself in…. He is never acknowledged as Lord. These quasi Christians follow a quasi-Christ. They want His help but not His interference. They will flatter Him but never obey Him.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n The re-invented \u201cJesus\u201d is so broadminded that he never said a word about homosexuality or usage of heroin or speed, we are told. Rather, the modern \u201cJesus\u201d is a quixotic mystic who pioneered the I\u2019m OK, You\u2019re OK <\/em>philosophy. His laid-back laxity accepts even the worst of sinners without judgment or rebuke.<\/span><\/p>\n In matters of religion, the new \u201cJesus\u201d takes the big-tent <\/em>approach, ever smiling upon the plethora of contradictory doctrines and practices established by His purported followers. Such moderns either have not read or do not believe the Gospel accounts of Jesus\u2019 brief life on earth. Their \u201cJesus\u201d is a chimera who stands in stark contrast to the Jesus of Biblical fact:<\/span><\/p>\n All professed believers must choose one \u201cJesus\u201d or the other.<\/span><\/p>\n [Note: <\/strong>I wrote this article for and it appeared in the Denton Record-Chronicle, <\/em>Denton, TX, July 13, 2012.]<\/span><\/p>\n Attribution:<\/strong> From www.thescripturecache.com<\/em>; Dub McClish, proprietor, curator, and administrator.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Views: 1[Note: This MS is available in larger font on our Brief Articles 3\u00a0page.]\u00a0 \u00a0 Modern folk\u2014scholar, ruler, and commoner alike\u2014who still profess to believe in God have nevertheless in many cases eschewed the fact that He created them.
