Scripture and the Church

Roman Catholicism's Mariolatry involves the amalgamation of the pagan worship and worldly philosophies found at Colosse with elements of Biblical Christianity. As Paul exhorted the Colossians not to be ensnared by such evils, so the true Body of Christ must resolve to remain free of them today.
The Colossian believers lived in a pagan environment in which an agenda of sexual perversion had taken root in worship. As growing numbers of 21st-century professing Christians cave in to the so-called "LGBT" agenda, those who desire to remain true to their Lord must heed the Apostle Paul's admonitions to the Colossian church.
The Colossian church lived in a culture pervaded by the worship of a pagan deity that foreshadowed the radical environmentalism Christians confront in the 21st century. The Holy Spirit through the Apostle Paul declared to them - and to us - that Christ is the answer to such folly.
What are sometimes called "unprecedented" evil influences in the 21st-century church are not new at all. We find them in the pages of the New Testament. As the saying goes, "everything old is new again."

Another leading "conservative" Bible scholar attacks the inerrancy & authority of God's Word, and Christian academia fails to respond.
Logos Bible Software has done yet another great disservice to the church by offering a commentary on Hebrews written by a 19th-century proponent of universal salvation, and justification by faith plus works.
Today, less than half of Evangelical adults believe in the existence of absolute moral truth.
Recent surveys indicate that the answer is, "Not nearly as much as they used to."
