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! :-))
