The twisting of the Word
Isaiah 24:5 (NLT) The earth suffers for the sins of its people, for they have twisted God’s instructions, violated his laws, and broken his everlasting covenant.
“Mankind has changed the?word of God?by replacing it with substitutes, or by fashioning it into something more suitable to his liking. Every time a preacher soft-peddles the gospel, every time a politician twists the Scriptures to rise in the opinion polls, every time a counselor wrenches the context of God’s word to make it fit a crazy psychological theory, they have?changed the ordinance…” –David Guzik
The word of God has been watered down to resemble the moral decay of the world. No longer does it challenge the hearts of men to repentance, instead it is used to validate the moral decay justifying rampant sin and debauchery. How grievous to the heart of God who gave us the word that we might see the error of our ways, repent and be cleansed of our sins and be brought into your right standing with God the father!
