You May Be The Only Bible Some People Will Ever See/Read Is One Of The Most Absurd Boomer Evangelical Statements Ever Uttered

Careful, you may be the ONLY Bible some people will ever see. You better behave and act good and holy and kind and loving or else THEY could go to HELL because of YOU.

This idea probably came about in the 1970s as it was well known and said all the time as a child in the 1980’s in church groups I attended. This is cookie cutter silly Christianity. The Evangelical scene has been responsible for some of the dumbest things ever invented within Christian circles. I am not bashing Evangelicalism as a whole since I probably am one and some teachers I listen to are certainly as well. But you have to admit the popular church culture created from modern evangelicalism has caused many people to go astray or not even understand the Bible.

Claiming that if you sin or act bad and someone sees it who does not know you or go to church could go to hell, or that if they do see you behave good they might follow God is a joke. First of all by this time in church history there is no possible way anyone has never physically seen a Bible laying around somewhere or on TV or anything else. Everyone know what a Bible is and could pick it up and read it if they cared. The fact they don’t is enough to know that if they see me sin it will have no effect on them for or against God unless they knew me personally and knew for a fact I was a hardcore Christian. Also, people have seen scripture written on church signs, o billboards, in papers, heard them uttered in real life and on TV and movies or the radio. It is impossible for anyone in the entire world to not have heard of Jesus or the Bible, UNLESS…they live in the 3rd world country and have absolutely no internet or media anywhere and must live in a tribal region in the wilderness in some hunter gatherer society. Believe it or not there are a few isolated tribes in the world, Amazon, an island in India, etc. Even so there are still other tribal people or societies who may know that other countries and races exist as well as religions but simply have not yet heard of Christianity or our Bible. Most would be very young. But this is besides the point.

Everyone has heard of the Bible and your sins or your good behavior will not save anyone or cause anyone to go to hell. Only God will save people and if He wants them they will repent by hearing the Word of God. They must know the gospel. So if you did sin and someone saw you be a hypocrite it won’t keep them from knowing Jesus sometime. Your outward sins are not too powerful for the Holy Spirit to show them the gospel and give them repentance. Also, your good behavior and kindness may be a good witness of a true Christian but it will also not save anyone alone. It is faith that saves us, so it is faith that saved other people. The Holy Spirit convicts. Some people will witness your good works but still hate God or not feel the need to repent.

You are not actually a Bible. You are a Christian, a servant of God through Christ’s power. The Bible is the Bible. So if some way you sin and a stranger sees it then it’s not going to matter unless they know you. For example, if you are some bible teacher or pastor and someone sees you sin they could feel that you are fake and Christianity is a fake belief system full of terrible lying people. But if they see you behave godly and righteous they will only have good things to say about your faith.

If you are a Christian and someone sees you and you feel that it is up to you and your behavior to be a Bible that someone may read, or the only bible they may read why not talk to them and share your faith? If you see a person witness to them. If you are driving on the freeway and there is a stranger you obviously cannot talk to them and if you were speeding or didn’t use a turn signal that is not going to be what causes someone to hate God and go to hell. Get real.

Yes, we should be good and behave righteously and purge sin from our lives, but let’s be honest, people have no excuse in this world to not know God or what His word says in it’s most basic format. It’s everywhere. We should also witness with our mouths and also show people the actual Bible so they can be saved. Do not live with guilt if you did sin one day and assume that this person will go to hell because of YOU and not their own sins. Repent of your bad behavior and pray for that person you offended and if you get a chance apologize, but don’t make it weird.

These kinds of sayings come from people who make God’s word all liberal, soft, watered down, and silly. Modern evangelicalism really does not want to teach hard biblical teachings and correct theology and instead embrace emotionalism and stupid “inspirational quotes” and “phrases” like this. Let’s be better than this and stop saying these boomer culture phrases. Not that baby boomers are all bad, but that generation did cause a lot of grief to the world and is responsible for the state we are in now, but believe me when I saw #NotAllBoomers. Some of the best teachers are boomer aged like my dad and my mom who taught me scripture from birth. I am thankful that they do not say such stupid things and never have to me when I was growing up. But I still hear it all the time in churches like it somehow a profound and deep statements or fact. I roll my eyes every time and cringe when I hear someone say it.

It’s Been Over 3 Years Since Writing

It’s Been Over 3 Years Since Writing

I have not written for years because I had nothing to say. I said a lot of things. All I know is the crazy time we live in is more proof that the Antichrist is going to revealed soon. At no point in history has the entire world been in similar thought and in such deception. Woke culture, Antifa, corporatism, hating white people because historically whites created Western culture, but hating Christians more, the serious threat of worldwide communism with one leader and more.

There is a lot going on. But do not be alarmed. Also, taking it t the streets was a good thing many of us did in the USA for a few years but the state of our country and world governments and tracking is enough reason to think up of another tactic. Obviously, the only effective tactic is to embrace Jesus Christ above all things and stop thinking political activism alone will save America or the world. We should move on to better things and focus on bettering ourselves, supporting our families, teaching our children and attending church. Study the Bible.
