"LEFT BEHIND" Gospel Leaves
Behind the Holiness of God
Below are a few more comments
about the first part of the "gospel" message that used to be on
leftbehind.com:
"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. (Gen 1:1) God is a
rational, thinking, feeling, loving being who created the universe and loves
us." (Quote source: The Plan from leftbehind.com)
It is strange that the
leftbehind.com writer chose such a vague, nebulous description of
"God" here. This "God" described on leftbehind.com could be any god. In fact,
this is not a description of the Most High God of the Bible, who is a personal
God with specific attributes that are glaringly absent here.
Holiness, as I mentioned before, is absent from this description of God. note:
To leave out holiness is to leave out the major attribute that separates the Most
High God from the lesser "gods"--the devils. The God of the Bible is HOLY;
other gods are not. I think it's interesting that God's omniscience--he is all
knowing, omnipresence--he is everywhere, and omnipotence--he is all powerful,
which also distinguish him from all other "gods" is also left out. I assure you that many who worship false gods consider their god to be rational,
thinking, feeling and loving.
To leave out a holy God is to leave out a holy
people. A holy God must demand a holy people! --"Because it is written, Be
ye holy; for I am holy."--1 Pet 1:16 It cannot be otherwise. His very
nature requires this holiness in the lives of his people naming his name.
"But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of
conversation;--1 Pet. 1:15
The Left Behind series characters' faith in God does not result in them becoming
a holy people, so it makes sense that the holiness of God would be left out on
the Left Behind website.
Most of the characters that are represented as Christians in the Left Behind
series serve sin in their daily lives, and as such do not
serve a holy God. In real life they
would not be truly saved because they do not follow holiness: "Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without
which no man shall see the Lord:"--Heb. 12:14
