"Anti-Christ in Skeptic Tanks" (Nicolaitans...Pilate on!)
GK Chesterton once described the defense of Christian orthodoxy as ".....one
whirling adventure; and in my vision the heavenly chariot flies thundering
through the ages, the dull heresies sprawling and prostrate, the wild truth
reeling but erect."
Without fail, every year (especially at Christmas and Easter), the
heretics and skeptics rouse themselves in proud agitation. Book promotions,
National Geographic "specials", news magazine cover stories...as predictable
as they are never-ending....appear. Thus confirming The Word......
This year's All-Star crop of pop-Gnostic/Nicolaitan heresies and
divinations... (yawn)... includes Jesus walking on ice (not water),
"The Gospel of Judas" and The DaVinci Code.....

"For the time will come when men will not put up with sound
doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a
great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear."--
(2Timothy 4:3)
"See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and
deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the basic
principles of this world rather than on Christ." --
(Colossians 2:8)
"Anti-Christ in Skeptic Tanks" (Nicolaitans...Pilate on!)
Back again... The Mad Debunkers! Heretics who come to mock... Proud and testy Truth-detractors Bash their heads against The Rock.
Every Holy Week we hear 'em... Just like clockwork every year! Trotting out their Gnostic nonsense... Easter Eggheads scoff 'n' jeer.
Storm Troops push their "Cosmic Jesus" Lobbing bombshells from their ranks! New Age ammo...rolling thunder... Anti-Christ in skeptic-tanks.
Mary Magdalene and Jesus... K-I-S-S-I-N-G Whoda thunk it!? Christ Messiah
Carried on illicitly!
They luv Jesus soft 'n' cuddly, Nicolaitans... Pilate on! Secret Codes of Leonardo... Basking in this New Age Dawn!
They luv Gospels nicely altered By philosophies of man! They
demand much softer edges So the "Brights" can understand!
Jesus, tell us: "Do your own thing!" Teach us Ashtar's dreamy waltz! Show us her sweet Idol-sidestep... Gnostic nuance Dark and false.
*******
Lookee there! The Iceman cometh... Skating by on Galilee! We know no one walks on water... "Miracles" just cannot be!
So it
must have been an iceberg Floating out there on the lake... Watch Messiah's triple axle! Resurrection? 'Twas a
fake!
We applaud his neat maneuvers... Double toe-loop! Quite a spin! Jesus Seminar declares it: "Orthodoxy isn't "in"! "
"Q" and Judas now confirm it! Matthew's gospel is a
lie... Mark and John just can't be trusted... Doctor Luke's tale just won't fly!
******
Every age...the same old story... Itching ears just love to hear; Rebels need a god unholy.... One they really need not fear.
So, the Truth again escapes them. Lord, they hide among the trees. Bowing down to what's created... Mother Earth Thealogies.
"...they hid from the LORD God among the trees of the garden."
--(Genesis 3: 8b)
"The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding." --(Proverbs 9: 10)
