Christianity Today Magazine Compromises the Faith,
Promotes Book Review by Dedicated Mormon
Robert Millet is a professor at Brigham Young University, the "Manager of Outreach and Interfaith Relations" with the Mormon Church Public Affairs, and the author of A Different Jesus? The Christ of the Latter-Day Saints--a book that defends the cult of Mormonism! Martha Beck is a former Mormon, whose book, Leaving the Saints: How I lost the Mormons and Found My Faith is reviewed by Millet on Christianity Today's website and is termed as, he states, "...a slap in the face of one of Mormonism's greatest intellectuals and yet another roadblock to a religious tradition seeking to be better understood in a world that is desperately in need of understanding" (refer to "They Leave It, But They Can't Leave It Alone" by Robert Millet).
This is outrageous! Mormonism is a cult! Allowing Robert Millet's book review on Christianity Today's website is in itself "a slap in the face" to Jesus Christ, the truth of His word, and Christians worldwide!
The Bible, God's holy word, commands Christians everywhere to: Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but expose them (Ephesians 5:11).
Christians are commanded: Do not be bound together with unbelievers; for what partnership have righteousness and lawlessness, or what fellowship has light with darkness? Or what harmony has Christ with Belial, or what has a believer in common with an unbeliever? (2 Corinthians 6:14-15)
Christians are commanded to defend the faith in the midst of the ungodly:
Beloved, while I was making every effort to write you about our common salvation, I felt the necessity to write to you appealing that you contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all handed down to the saints. For certain persons have crept in unnoticed, those who were long beforehand marked out for this condemnation, ungodly persons who turn the grace of our God into licentiousness and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ (Jude 1:3-4).
Christians are commanded to guard the flock, warn against "savage wolves" and be alert for those who wait to deceive: For I did not shrink from declaring to you the whole purpose of God. Be on guard for yourselves and for all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God which He purchased with His own blood. I know that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock; and from among your own selves men will arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them. Therefore be on the alert, remembering that night and day for a period of three years I did not cease to admonish each one with tears (Acts 20:27- 31).
Christians are not to be in subjection to counterfeit Christians: But it was because of the false brethren secretly brought in, who had sneaked in to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, in order to bring us into bondage. But we did not yield in subjection to them for even an hour, so that the truth of the gospel would remain with you (Galatians 2:4-5).
Jesus said, ...but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him to have a heavy millstone hung around his neck, and to be drowned in the depth of the sea. Woe to the world because of its stumbling blocks! For it is inevitable that stumbling blocks come; but woe to that man through whom the stumbling block comes! (Matthew 18:6-7).
God will hold cowardly, compromising Christians accountable: But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet and the people are not warned, and a sword comes and takes a person from them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood I will require from the watchman's hand. Now as for you, son of man, I have appointed you a watchman for the house of Israel; so you will hear a message from My mouth and give them warning from Me. When I say to the wicked, 'O wicked man, you will surely die,' and you do not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity, but his blood I will require from your hand (Ezekiel 33:6-8).
In spite of the clear-cut Biblical commands and warnings, Christianity Today is compromising the faith and allowing a Mormon cultist to deceive the body of Christ with a counterfeit Jesus, counterfeit gospel, and counterfeit spirit, which the apostle Paul warned about in 2 Corinthians 11:3-4. Furthermore, in Galatians 1:6-9, Paul warned that those who preach a false gospel are under a divine curse (anathema).
If you love the Lord and the truth of His word, contact Christianity Today immediately and encourage them to: stop compromising, obey the commands of Scripture, stop placing the spiritual welfare of Christians in harm's way, and stop being a stumbling block to innocent Christians, as well as those searching for the real Jesus of the Bible!
