RADICAL GENESIS EVANGELICALS
1 An RGE POWERFULLY REJECTS the "GOD IS A MELLOW CALIFORNIAN" concept:
God IS NOT LAID BACK IS NOT content as long as you're sincere in what you
believe IS NOT SLOPPY or LAZY in communicating His will Is not a God of Errors, Myths, or Mistakes (a laid-back, sloppy & lazy god might be content with an error filled bible but the great I AM would not) Would NEVER BE a TV EVANGELIST He Has laid out an EXACTING & SINGULAR way for man to be saved There is only ONE-WAY by which man can be saved: Faith in Jesus Christ
2 RGE's hold firmly to SOLA SCRIPTURA (Scripture Only) The
Bible is WORD-FOR-WORD EXACTLY CORRECT IN ALL IT SAYS
God's Word IS COMPLETE in the 66 books of the NT & OT Canon
There is NO OTHER or new revelation beyond the BIBLE ITSELF
a An RGE actually believes Jonah was swallowed by a
big fish,
b believes Adam & Eve were the first humans; they did
not evolve, they were created by God and ALL HUMANS
are descended from Adam & Eve
c believe that God, in His infinite wisdom, had the
Israelites totally destroy other nations
d A RADICAL GENESIS EVANGELICAL may not always under-
stand, but he DOGGEDLY BELIEVES
3 RGE'S believe in a literal Heaven & a literal Hell
A minority of people who have lived on Earth will be in
Heaven, the majority will be in HELL
4 RGE'S believe God is Self-Existent - no beginning no end
God is also Triune; Father, Son (Jesus Christ), & Holy Spirit
a God exists whether or not man does
b God IS NOT a Chameleon forever changing to please man
c Man's subjective thoughts/feelings about God are only
correct if they agree with the objective Scriptures
D the CREATED cannot totally understand the CREATOR;
it is ARROGANT & FOOLISH to think he can
5 God IS NOT Sentimental or Sloppily Emotional in His love
for His children HE IS a God of love but also a God of
Implacable and AWESOME WRATH Those people who think HE
is a Mellow Californian will find they are DEAD-WRONG,
in Hell
a God never smiles at small sins
b Chastises his children with alarming regularity
c And does not listen to the prayers of unbelievers except
when they call out in REPENTANCE for Salvation
6 RGE'S think ALL mankind is incredibly evil and self-deceived
An RGE think the "biggies" are still Sins of the Heart more
than behavioral misdeeds Our society today suffers from:
a Pride (we think we're okay and we can take care of
ourselves)
b Arrogance (especially some theologians who think they
are smarter and more knowledgeble than the Apostle Paul)
c Incredible Materialism (the Christian community has
bought into rampant materialism Hook, Line & Sinker
d Unrestrained Selfishness (I want, I think, I feel,
I gotta be me, take care of # 1, etc ad nauseum)
e Lack of Courage (how many of us will stand up to the
taunts and ridicule of family & friends; of the media?)
7 An RGE doesn't hate Gays, Adulterers, Liars,
Politicians, Murderers, the Sexually Warped, liberals,
Abortioners, TV Evangelists, and those who think RADICAL
BELIEVERS are to be ridiculed and laughed at Those
individuals suffer the devastating consequences of their own
sins here on Earth (and in Hell if they reject Jesus
Christ) One doesn't have to be an RGE to get to Heaven
but there is NO BETTER WAY TO LIVE
(OBVIOUSLY, RGE's are not sinless We also struggle with
lust and all those other debilitating & destructive sins)
8 RGE's believe that God, in His infinite wisdom, chose
women to be subject to men This IN NO WAY IMPLIES MALE
SUPERIORITY in God's economy But female dominated societies
are NOT God's Plan Women who seek equality or superiority
are doomed to be frustrated and miserable (the men also)
9 RGE's believe that in the Culture:
Divorce and remarriage are wrong except for:
1 Chronic sexual infidelity/perversion of a spouse
2 Desertion by an unbelieving spouse
3 If one was married & divorced before salvation
(Certainly, there can be family situations so destructive
that marital separation might be the best alternative)
10 RGE's STRONGLY BELIEVE "If anyone DOES NOT PROVIDE FOR
HIS RELATIVES, and especially for his immediate family, HE
has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever"
Bar-hopping, beer guzzling, TV-addict husbands who selfishly
spend money on their own WANTS are a CANCER in our society
11 RGE's STRONGLY BELIEVE younger women (wives) should
love their husbands and children, be self-controlled and
pure, BUSY AT HOME, be kind, subject to their husbands so
that no one will malign the Word of God Titus 2:4,5
a Mother's are ultimately happier and more fulfilled at
home and
b KIDS WEREN'T CREATED FOR DAY CARE CENTERS
c God placed the ultimate, responsibility of educating
our children in THE PARENT'S HANDS not the State's hands
12 Finally, RADICAL GENESIS EVANGELICALS:
a Will Never be in the majority: always be UNPOPULAR
b Under constant attack; mostly by people CLAIMING to
be Christians,
c But striving to PERSEVERE; FIGHTING FOR THE FAITH!
LIVE 100%, FLAT-OUT for JESUS CHRIST There "ain't nuthin'" else worth living
for on this planet
LIVE RADICALLY! :-))
