A Different Evangel
'I am marvelling that thus, swiftly, you are transferred from that which calls you in the grace of Christ, to a different evangel, which is not another, except it be that some who are disturbing you want also to distort the good news of Christ. But if ever we also, or a messenger out of heaven, should be bringing an evangel to you beside that which we bring to you, let him be anathema! ...if anyone is bringing you an evangel beside that which you accepted, let him be anathema (originally an accursed sacrifice to appease the 'gods' - not a good thing!) (Galatians 1:6-9, CLV)
There is a warning in the bible, that some people want to distort the Good news. People of the church say what the good news is, but they are wrong, the good news is not that ONLY believes will go to heaven. This is the distorted evangel. The Good News is that EVERYONE will go to the Kingdom of the Heavens. People in the church keep reporting the bad news, that unbelievers will go to hell, but it does not say anywhere in the bible to report the bad news. There is no bad news to report, only the Good News….
There is no another evangel, there is only the one evangel. If anyone even a messenger out of heaven be bringing you a different evangel then Let him be Anathema.
Even back in the days of the apostles people where distorting the Good news, that was over 1900 years ago, no wonder we now have a distort evangel.
