Four Christian Constants

A dog barks when his master is attacked. I would be a coward if I saw that God's truth is attacked and yet would remain silent. - John Calvin

The influence of Post Modernism upon the Church has made many Christians unable to recognize, let alone defend, the non-negotiable truth claims that make Christianity what it is.

Many of us have adopted an a-la-carte approach to Biblical truth claims. Some religious 'leaders' have gone so far as to critique which parts of the Gospels they view as credible, as though Holy Writ somehow needed affirmation from frail and fallen man.

There are very many things about Christianity which are infalible -- the entire contents of Scripture, for example.

This post will center on Four Christian Constants. Tamper with any one of these Constants, even slightly, and you are left with some meaningless ritual, teaching or philosophy, but the Gospel is forfeit.

1. Creation.
2. The Fall
3. Redemption
4. Restoration

How, one may ask, are all of these necessary? Even our Seminaries have liberal theologians denying the historical nature of #1-3, and putting forward novel theories about #4.

Implied in each of these categories are both the nature and plans of God. Break the chain, and the other categories become non-sensical.

My future posts will touch more on what each of these mean.
