DANIEL WHYTE III SAYS ANDY STANLEY CANNOT DESTROY THE FOUNDATION OF THE CHRISTIAN FAITH WHICH IS THE BIBLE, THE WORD OF GOD, NO MATTER HOW HARD HE TRIES. HE CAN HUFF, AND HE CAN PUFF AND TRY TO BLOW THE HOUSE OF THE CHRISTIAN FAITH DOWN ALL HE WANTS, BUT “THE GATES OF HELL SHALL NOT PREVAIL AGAINST IT.” AND THE TRUE CHURCH OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST CONTINUES TO SING “HOW FIRM A FOUNDATION”:

How firm a foundation, O saints of the Lord,Is laid for your faith in his excellent Word!What more can he say than to you he has saidWho unto the Savior for refuge have fled?

In ev’ry condition, in sickness, in health,In poverty’s vale, or abounding in wealth,At home and abroad, on the land, on the sea —The Lord, the Almighty, your strength e’er shall be.

Fear not, I am with you. Oh, be not dismayed,For I am your God and will still give you aid;I’ll strengthen you, help you, and cause you to stand,Upheld by my righteous, omnipotent hand.

When through the deep waters I call you to go,The rivers of sorrow shall not overflow,For I will be with you your troubles to blessAnd sanctify to you your deepest distress.

Throughout all their lifetime my people shall proveMy sov’reign, eternal, unchangeable love,And then, when gray hair shall their temples adorn,Like lambs they shall still on my shoulders be borne.

Andy Stanley is up to his old tricks again, arguing in a recent sermon that Christians don’t have to believe in all the miracles recorded in the bible, but only have to believe in two.

You’ll recall Stanley previously made waves for encouraging Christians to “unhitch” themselves from portions of Old Testament Scripture, denied the Genesis account, saying God only said it to ‘accommodate to our capacity,’ repeatedly told his congregants, ‘I’m not arguing that the bible is correct,’ told them it doesn’t matter if the bible is true, so long as it’s ‘mostly reliable,’ that they shouldn’t follow Jesus through the Old Testament but only through the gospels, and told his church the ‘foundation of our faith is not the whole bible.’

He also lamented that the ‘entire bible’ has become the church’s ‘authority,’ claimed the bible is not equally inspired or equally important, and even argued that demanding potential converts believe the bible is true and without error is an unnecessary obstacle to them coming to Christ. He also argued that Jesus’ birth and the events surrounding the nativity don’t really matter, thus casting doubt upon his supernatural birth by saying “If somebody can predict their own death and then their own resurrection, I’m not all that concerned about how they got into the world” and “Christianity doesn’t hinge on the truth or even the stories around the Birth of Jesus.”‘

“Far more acceptable…”

Of course, this means people do not have to believe in talking serpents or Noah’s ark, which he alluded to earlier, but also in miracles like Jesus being born of a virgin, feeding the 5000, his transfiguration, walking on water, Peter healing the sick, Paul raising the dead, or any number of miracles in the Old Testament performed by Moses, Elijah, and Elisha.

While Stanley would likely want believers to believe in (at least) most of those, it destroys the bible’s authority and credibility to suggest that they are optional, something he seemingly doesn’t mind doing.

All that doesn’t include the mountain of pro-LGBTQ rhetoric seen in these endnotes.

“Do you have to believe in miracles to be a Christian? And in fact, that’s one of the questions I wanna answer today is, do you have to believe in miracles to be a Christian? And do you have to believe all those miracle stories in the Bible in order to be a Christian? I mean, is that absolutely necessary?

And so if you’re not a Christian or you used to be, or you’re reconsidering faith, or you’re considering faith for the first time, I wanna actually, it’s kind of a strange place to start a series, I wanna begin with this question. I wanna answer this one now: Do you have to believe in miracles to be a Christian?

And the answer is ‘yes,’ but you only have to believe in two miracles to be a Christian.

So I wanna talk about those two. And there’s a reason for that, and that’s gonna become clear over the course of the next few minutes. And the interesting thing about these two miracles that you have to believe in to be a Christian, is most of you and most people in the world actually already believe in one of them. And if you accept that, the second miracle that you have to believe to be a Christian, if you accept the second one, it opens the door to making the other miracles more acceptable.”

He continues, sharing that the first miracle you have to believe in is that God created the world, whether that be young earth creationism (which he doesn’t believe in) or a big bang that occurred 4.7 billion years ago. The second miracle is that you must believe Jesus rose from the dead.

“So the possibility and the reality of miracles is fundamental to Christianity. And to sum it up, let me just give you these two statements. The miracle of the universe or the birth of the universe, the miracle of the universe is the foundation of our faith in God. We believe that God is the uncaused causer. He’s the eternal God that he brought from nothing everything, including the laws of nature that allows us to have science, to make our world observable, to make things observable and repeatable.

It’s like, it’s amazing. It’s God unleashed the human mind and said it’s gonna roll out into the future just like the universe rolls out.

And the second statement, the miracle of the resurrection is the foundation of our faith in Jesus. So if you’re looking for, and I know you’re not, but if you’re looking for the irreducible minimum number of miracles you have to believe in order to be a Christian, if you’re considering Christianity and are like, ‘do I have to believe a guy put everybody on a boat? Really?’ You just start here.

The foundation, the miracle of the universe, foundation of faith in God, miracle of resurrection, foundation of our faith in Jesus. But once you accept this miracle, you will find many of those other miracles far more acceptable.”

IF YOU WERE TO DIE TODAY, WHERE WOULD YOU GO: HEAVEN OR HELL? IF YOU’RE NOT SURE, “BELIEVE ON THE LORD JESUS CHRIST AND THOU SHALT BE SAVED” FOR JESUS CHRIST SAID THE MOST IMPORTANT WORDS EVER SPOKEN IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD WHEN HE SAID, “FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD, THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, THAT WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE.” READ FURTHER RIGHT HERE:

THE BIG QUESTION
GOSPEL LIGHT MINUTE X #447 WITH DANIEL WHYTE III

This is the “Chief of sinners,” Daniel Whyte III, president of Gospel Light Society International, with the Gospel Light Minute X Podcast #447 titled, “The Big Question” I’m here to remind you of what the Bible says, that “Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners” like you and me.

“HAVE YOU BEEN BORN AGAIN?”
The question is not “Have you joined a church?” or “Are you trying to do your best?” or “Do you have religion?” but “Are you twice-born?” Jesus Christ said in John 3:3, “Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God”.
We enter the physical world by birth. Spiritual life likewise is entered with a birth. We become members of a human family by birth; we become members of the family of God by birth, by being “born again.” There is no other way to get into the human family except by birth, and there is no other way to get into God’s family except by the new birth. Neither education, nor cultivation, nor reformation, nor “turning over a new leaf,” will accomplish this. What is needed is not a new “leaf” but a new “life”! “Ye must be born again” (John 3:7).

A New Nature Needed
By physical birth we become partakers of human nature; by being born again we become “partakers of the divine nature”. A Christian is the product of a divine “begetting”. The second birth is not an improvement of the old nature; it is the imparting of an entirely new nature. The old nature is hopelessly corrupt and incapable of ever being made fit for His presence. The new birth requires a creative act of the Holy Spirit. “If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature”.

Not “Trying” But “Trusting”

“Trying to follow Christ” is not Christianity. Christianity is not imitation of Christ, it is the indwelling of Christ. Christianity is not trying to do anything. It is trusting Christ Who has done it all! He has “finished the work” and there is nothing left to do but simply to receive and trust Him. He shed His precious blood on the cross and the work is all done once and forever! Cease trying and begin trusting! Believers will progressively become more and more like Christ, but by His power, not their own.

What Must I Do To Be Saved?
Simply “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ”. The Bible says in 1 John 5:1, “Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God”. The Bible states in John 1:12,13, “As many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God”.
You are born again, you become a Christian by trusting a Person—receiving a Person. The very moment you do this, the Lord Jesus Christ comes in and life begins!

What Is Meant By “Believe”?
To “believe on the Lord Jesus Christ” means more than simply believing the historic facts concerning Him. Intellectual belief about Christ is not sufficient. The belief that brings salvation must be “with the heart,” that is, with the whole being. This belief also includes repentance: “Repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ”. The Bible states in Acts 17:30, “God … now commandeth all men every where to repent”.

The faith which saves, then, includes the necessity to repent, and to receive Christ as Saviour and Lord, to rest upon Him alone for salvation. It means to trust Him so utterly and completely that, if He should fail, there would be no hope at all!

May I Know That I Am Born Again?
This is an important question. We know that we are born again by the testimony of God’s Word. God says in John 5:24, “He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life”. Have you believed on the Lord Jesus Christ as explained by God’s Word? If so, then you are saved, you are “born again,” you have “passed from death unto life.” God says so! Take God at His Word, and go on your way rejoicing!

One Final Word
You may “belong to a church,” you may be “trying to do the best you can,” you may be “striving to live right.” Your outward life may be the model of moral correctness, and you may be looked up to, honored, revered, and respected. Yet, if you have not been “born again” you are just as lost as if you had never heard of Christ. Yes, you may teach in the Sunday school, read the Bible, sing, shout, “feel happy,” and all the rest—but if you have never been “born again” you are still in your sins and a stranger to the Lord Jesus Christ!.

If you want to be saved from the wrath to come and from an eternity in Hell, and if you believe that Jesus Christ suffered, bled, and died on the cross for your sins, was buried, and rose again from the dead and you are willing to trust Jesus Christ with all of your heart so you can go to Heaven, please pray with me what is called the sinner’s prayer: Holy Father God, I acknowledge that I am a sinner and I admit that I have sinned against You and that I have broken Your Ten Commandments. I have lied before. I have stolen things before. I have lusted after people and things before. I have dishonored and disobeyed my parents. I have taken Your holy Name in vain. For Jesus Christ’s sake, please have mercy and grace upon my soul and forgive me of all of my sins, my failures, and my faults. As I now believe in Your Holy Son the Lord Jesus Christ. I believe that He suffered, bled, and died on the cross for my sins, was buried and rose again. Lord Jesus, please come into my heart and save my soul and change my life. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit and help me to repent of my sins past. Help me to turn from my old, evil life and follow You in the new life. For it is in Your Name I pray. Amen.
