                           Interactions with the Unbeliever | The Gospel Vault Podcast

As Christians, we are prone to forget to examine everything that is going on around us through the lens of Scripture. Yet we are told in Ephesians 6 that we are engaged in a spiritual battle — not against flesh and blood, but against evil and spiritual wickedness in high places, operating within a realm that we cannot see.

“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.”
(Ephesians 6:12–13)

When we are cognizant of that fact, we should also understand that unbelievers truly do believe the battle is against flesh and blood. This is because they possess only one nature and are capable of discerning only that which belongs to the natural world. 

“But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.” (1 Corinthians 2:14)

The Bible also exhorts us to be gentle and apt to teach rather than argumentative:

“But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes. And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, in meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth.”
(2 Timothy 2:23–25)

If we keep these truths at the forefront of our thoughts when entering into a conversation — or even a confrontation — with unbelievers, we will be better witnesses for Christ and the Gospel.

Although we are instructed to avoid foolish and unlearned questions, we must also understand that the concerns of unbelievers are not foolish in their own minds. Recognizing this, we should adhere to the principle of the passage in 2 Timothy. Our approach should be to help them understand rather than to “beat” them over the head with the truth.

We should look to the illustration in John 8, where Jesus dealt with the legalists who brought before Him a woman caught in the very act of adultery. We do not see Him forcefully interjecting Scripture or engaging in heated argument. Instead, He presented a challenge that caused them to examine themselves in light of the very law they claimed to uphold so zealously.

In doing so, He demonstrated both truth and grace — firmness without hostility, conviction without cruelty. That balance remains our model today.

In all of our interactions with unbelievers, we are exhorted to conduct ourselves in a biblical manner — whether in a one-on-one conversation, a moment of personal witness, or even when responding to someone with whom we strongly disagree on social media. The platform may change, but the standard does not.

Let this verse serve as a guiding light in those interactions:

“Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.”
(Galatians 6:1)

Restoration, not humiliation. Meekness, not pride. Self-examination, not superiority.

If we approach others with that spirit, we will reflect not only the truth of the Gospel, but also the character of Christ Himself.

Gnosticism: Has the Bible Already Refuted It?

"And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts? Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have. And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and his feet." (Luke 24:38-40)

"Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world." (1 John 4:1-3)

"Docetism, (from Greek dokein, “to seem”), Christian heresy and one of the earliest Christian sectarian doctrines, affirming that Christ did not have a real or natural body during his life on earth but only an apparent or phantom one." (www.Brittanica.com)

One of the earliest and most dangerous heresies to confront the Church was Gnosticism, a belief system that denied the full humanity of Jesus Christ. At the heart of this error is a doctrine known as Docetism, from the Greek word dokein, meaning “to seem.” Docetists claimed that Christ only appeared to have a human body—that He was a spirit being with no true flesh and blood. But such teachings are not only heretical—they are antichrist, according to the Word of God.

Christ Himself Refuted Docetism

The risen Lord Jesus left no room for such deception. After His resurrection, when His disciples were troubled and doubting, He gave them a clear, physical, and undeniable demonstration of His bodily resurrection:

“And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts? Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have. And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and his feet.”
(Luke 24:38–40, KJV)

Jesus did not rise as a phantom or spirit. He rose in a literal, glorified body—still bearing the wounds of crucifixion. His invitation to “handle me, and see” was a direct refutation of the Gnostic lie that the divine Christ could not take on human flesh.

The Apostle John Exposes the Spirit of Antichrist

As Gnostic teachings spread through the early Church, the Apostle John, under divine inspiration, wrote to expose and condemn them. In his first epistle, he draws a bold line between truth and heresy:

“Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist...”
(1 John 4:1–3, KJV)

 To deny that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not a small doctrinal error—it is the very spirit of antichrist. John's warning rings as true today as it did in the first century. Any teaching that undermines the incarnation of Christ is not of God.

Why It Matters

The full humanity of Jesus is not a theological footnote—it is essential to the gospel. If Christ did not come in the flesh, He could not bear our sins on the cross. If He did not physically rise, we have no hope of resurrection ourselves. As Scripture affirms:

“For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.”
(Hebrews 4:15, KJV)

Only a real man could suffer, die, and rise again to redeem mankind. And only a real Savior can offer hope—not just in this world, but in the world to come.

Conclusion

Docetism and Gnosticism are not just ancient errors—they are present in modern disguises. Whether through mystical spirituality, philosophical elitism, or progressive theology that denies the authority of Scripture, the same spirit of antichrist is still at work.

But as believers, we stand on the unshakable truth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh, that He died, that He rose again bodily, and that He is coming again—not in secret, but in glory.

Let every spirit be tried. Let every doctrine be weighed. And let the Word of God be our final authority.

Will You Receive Christ Today?

If you’ve never accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, the invitation is open:

"For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." (Romans 10:13)

Right now, wherever you are, you can pray in your heart:

“Lord Jesus, I know I’m a sinner. I believe You died for my sins and rose again. I ask You to forgive me, come into my heart, and be my Savior. I trust You alone for my salvation. Amen.”

Steve Lawson: Should His Fall from Grace Give Rise to a Deeper Look at His Theology?

According to an article on the Website Challies.com dated October 16, 2013, Steve Lawson is quoted as saying during the Strange Fire Conference...

"Calvin towers over church history as the most substantial theologian who has been given to the church. We would do well to hear from him.

"I will let him have the final word. “Let the pastors boldly dare all things by the word of God… Let them constrain all the power, glory, and excellence of the world to give place to and to obey the divine majesty of this word. Let them enjoin everyone by it, from the highest to the lowest. Let them edify the body of Christ. Let them devastate Satan’s reign. Let them pasture the sheep, kill the wolves, instruct and exhort the rebellious. Let them bind and loose thunder and lightning, if necessary, but let them do all according to the word of God” (Sermons on the Epistle to the Ephesians).

"If we are to see a new reformation in this day, continue to expand its borders and have greater influence in the church and the world, we must be committed exclusively to the written word of God." Steve Lawson

From these words by Steve Lawson himself we understand that his theology is rooted and entrenched in Reformed Theology.

That being said, this article is only designed to look at Reformed Theology through the lens of scripture--not an attack on an individual.

I will close by saying this, Steve Lawson has openly admitted and asked forgiveness. The Christian community should certainly show grace at times like this. He needs our prayers going forward. God is a merciful God in all matters and will forgive all who come to him with a penitent heart.

I'm thankful the Word of God tells us,

"The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise." (Psalm 51:17)

"Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions." (Psalm 51:1)

"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." (1 John 1:9)

These verses certainly refute the core teachings of Calvinism. This scripture represents a loving and merciful God, not the tyrant of Calvinism or Reformed Theology. 

Hopefully, this closer look at the theology of Calvinism, and all of its offshoots, will cause those that are in churches that teach this false doctrine to examine themselves. We are told by the Apostle Paul to do that very thing.

"Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?" (2 Corinthians 13:5)

Marxism in the Church: Setting the Stage for the Antichrist? (Part 3)

Click on image for video

 Revelation 17:5 gives us the name of the End Times religious system that will be headed by the Antichrist it reads,

"and upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH."

From the last book of the Bible, we return full circle to the first book where Babylon began. Let's look at Genesis chapter 11 and verses 1 through 11. we see,

"And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech. And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there. And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them throughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter. And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded. And the Lord said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech. So the Lord scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city. Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the Lord did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the Lord scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.' Genesis 11:1-9

Going forward, as we continue with this series on "Marxism in the Church: Setting the Stage for the Antichrist? we will continue to highlight scripture that gives us the spiritual temperature, if you will, of the End Times professing church.
 
Paul gives us great insight in 2 Timothy chapter 4 verses 3 and 4 when he writes,

"For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; and they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables."


Previously, we saw in the post titled, "Babylon Calling" the following which ties in very nicely with this study.

As we progress through this series of study on the challenges facing Christianity, during what many believe to be the end times, we will continue building on the root causes of the end time Apostate church. It is mainly characterized -- as we have seen previously -- by a gradual "falling away" from the fundamentals of the faith. With that departure, we not only see congregations diminishing, but the wholesale movement away from sound Bible doctrine. 

When Babylon is mentioned in the Bible it is not always referring to that ancient city that once stood along the Euphrates River in southern Mesopotamia. In scripture it is often used symbolically as a reference to the Gentile world-system into which the whole social order of the world has fallen. Also, it bears mentioning, that Babylon is the Greek form of the O.T. Hebrew word "Babel": which translated is simply confusion. The Bible gives us an accurate account of the origin of Babel or (confusion) in the aforementioned passage in Genesis chapter 11 verses 1 through 9.

Progressing through the Bible to the book of The Revelation, we see Babylon representing the political and ecclesiastical system which dominates the entire end time scene. In that book, prophecy shows us that Political Babylon--meaning the End Times Gentile world-system--will destroy Religious Babylon which is the Apostate Church described in the book of Second Thessalonians. 

Without getting too far off track, we see the push under way -- and gaining traction -- for a New World Order. This political system is moving forward under the "global" banner.

"Global" would have likely been a word that was chosen by those who were busy "building" in Genesis 11.

The UN has been busy building their global framework. It is in place, and we see more American politicians jumping on that train everyday enroute to Political Babylon. 

Meanwhile, getting back to the first part of the above quoted verse, let's concentrate on the period of time Paul is addressing. This passage of scripture is teaching that sometime future from the period that he was writing in, there will be a "religious" people who will not "endure" sound doctrine.

In Part two of the Challenges series we quoted Arthur L. Johnson's book, "Faith Misguided : Exposing the Dangers of Mysticism" which states, 

"If we were seeking an appropriate label to describe the religious scene in the last three decades of the twentieth century, we would do well to consider it the age of confusion. There are many different religions in the Western world, each seeking adherents. They range from traditional Christian groups to oriental religions, from spiritist and occult movements to more traditional Western cults." 

As a footnote to this statement made by Johnson, when we begin looking closer at mysticism in the church, we will see how the Contemporary Christian Music has and will continue to play a key role in uniting the above mentioned religions. They are unable to unite around doctrine, but they can come together under the umbrella of Worship music. In keeping with that theme, unity of these End Times religions--referred to as Ecumenism--is a major reason shows like The LDS influenced series The Chosen needs to present a more palatable Jesus!

The primary emphasis in Johnson's book is not the negative impact that Mysticism is having on the Religions of the world, but on the "evangelical" community as a whole. That community of believers that supposedly have a "commonality" of beliefs. He continues:

"One wishes he could say that this same confusion did not exist in the evangelical community. After all, do not evangelicals agree that the Bible is the authority in doctrinal matters? Surely here we can find agreement and avoid the confusion that permeates the larger religious world around us. We could hope that such confusion would not exist, but unfortunately it does. Here also it seems that “every man [says] that which seems right in his own eyes”. (Judg. 21:25b, paraphrased).

Next up, we will begin delving deeper into "Mysticism". We will begin seeing how it is making subtle advances into the theology of our modern churches. We will also begin exploring how this philosophy is being used to create the "woke" culture which will eventually become Religious Babylon. 

Let me close the same way the Apostle Paul does in his Epistle to the Romans. 

"To God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ for ever. Amen."  

My dear friend, if you have never received Christ as your Saviour, would you do so today? Pray this from your heart. 

Dear Jesus, I know I am a sinner. I believe you died on the cross for my sins. I believe you were buried and rose again the third day. I ask you now to forgive me of my sins and come into my heart and save me. Amen

"For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: that they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness."

"having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith. But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was." (2 Timothy 3:5-9)

Rob Schwarzwalder, Senior Vice President at Family Research Council made this statement,
"The respected Pew Research organization recently published studies of how Americans feel about religion in our country. It's clear from the Pew surveys that millions of our fellow citizens are both ambivalent and deeply concerned about the status and role of faith in their personal lives and in the public life of the nation."
Further insight into this cultural slide is research conducted by the Cultural Research Center at Arizona Christian University.
"Nearly 9 in 10 U.S. adults hold to a mixture of worldviews, otherwise known as syncretism, and only a small percentage have a biblical worldview, a new study by the Cultural Research Center at Arizona Christian University shows."
They go on to explain the "mixture of worldviews" that make up syncretism. Further, the researchers contrast a biblical worldview with what they refer to as "six prominent competing worldviews."
"The worldviews are Secular Humanism, Postmodernism, Moralistic Therapeutic Deism, Nihilism, Marxism (including Critical Theory), and Eastern Mysticism, also known as "New Age," according to new research from George Barna and the center."
 
It is interesting as well to see how these "prominent competing worldviews" work together to bring about "confusing beliefs". When we start to consider who the perpetrator of confusion is, let's consider 1 Corinthians 14:33.
"For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints."
One of the major byproducts of Marxist Theology is the move from a Biblical worldview of it's citizenry to a humanistic approach to all aspects of life. The more humanistic a society becomes the further it moves away from God. The further away from God they become, the closer they move to incurring the wrath and judgment of Almighty God. We see that judgement in Romans 1:21-25,
"Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen."
Both America and the professing church are at a major crossroads today. The fact that Rome had rejected the Creator, even after being given every evidence of His existence, brought this dreadful indictment,
"For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:" Romans 1:18-20

The marks of an atheistic society are essentially one that, even though they are given every evidence of an Almighty God, through the manifestation of his "eternal power and Godhead " through creation, still refuses to acknowledge and glorify him as God. As a result of this rejection, they set in motion a chain of events that progressively leads them down the road to destruction.

We could spend a lifetime reading the voluminous accounts of men who have analyzed the various reasons for the eventual collapse of the mighty Roman Empire. The Apostle Paul, in his epistle to the Romans, gives us the outline, step by step in the space of 15 verses of exactly how the world power of its day collapsed.

In subsequent chapters we will use this outline as a template. We will analyze, through the disinfecting light of God's word, how America is following in the footsteps of that great nation that "was" Rome.

Marxism in the Church: Setting the Stage for the Antichrist? (Part 1)

Click on image for video

 

"For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: that they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness." (2 Thessalonians 2:7-12)

"having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith. But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was." (2 Timothy 3:5-9)

As a result of the success that Marxists in America have had in selling the masses on their theology, we are well on our way towards God's judgment as a nation. After years of indoctrination by tenured liberal professors in our institutions of higher learning, the masses have finally capitulated and have resolutely accepted the atheistic tenets of Marx and Engels. 

At this point some may raise the question of how does the adoption of Marxist Theology by Americans from a social standpoint, lead to a decline in spirituality and morality in the "religious sphere"? Furthermore, how could this decline lead to judgment by God?

Simply stated, when Marxism permeates the church, and Critical Theory becomes doctrine, the lines are blurred between the church and the world. With this blurring, the professing church becomes indistinguishable from an atheistic society.

One of the characteristics of the apostate church in the last days was given to us by the Apostle Paul in 2 Timothy 3:5. Out of all the personality traits that the end time population possesses in the foregoing verses, the one most injurious to mankind is that of it's ecclesiastical leadership. They are described as,

"having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away."

As to how this Ecumenical leadership, and ultimately the whole world incurs the wrath of God, listen to what he states in verses 7 through 9

"ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith. But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was."

My dear friend, if you have never received Christ as your Saviour, would you do so today? Pray this from your heart. Dear Jesus, I know I am a sinner. I believe you died on the cross for my sins. I believe you were buried and rose again the third day. I ask you now to forgive me of my sins and come into my heart and save me. Amen
