Audio (MP3) Notes (PDF)

Recap in 10 Tweets

  1. In the Pergamos Period we said it was hard to tell if PAGANISM got CHRISTIANIZED or CHRISTIANITY got PAGANIZED. #WordStrong
  2. In the Laodicean Period it is hard to tell if HUMANISM got CHRISTIANIZED or CHRISTIANITY got HUMANIZED. #WordStrong
  3. Thru Modernism/Higher Criticism/Freudianism & Darwinism in the mid to late 1800s, European Christianity faced a frontal attack. #WordStrong
  4. The result of this frontal attack was Humanism…which essentially says, “The end of all being is the happiness of men.” #WordStrong
  5. Humanism bred existentialism, which says, “Happiness is found in the SENSUAL EXPERIENCE.” #WordStrong
  6. Humanism also bred liberal theologians. This led to a great divide in Christianity between the LIBERALS and the FUNDAMENTALISTS. #WordStrong
  7. Humanism is a very powerful and pervasive disease that permeates everything it gets near…even Christianity! #WordStrong
  8. Essentially, the Liberals said, “The end of religion is to make man HAPPY when he’s ALIVE.” #WordStrong
  9. Through the influence of humanism, the Fundamentalists began to say, “The end of religion is to make man HAPPY when he DIES.” #WordStrong
  10. In the middle of the 20th century, Fundamentalists gave way to neo-evangelicalism, and Christianity became “lukewarm.” #WordStrong
