Let's Go Back to the Bible

The Confusing World of ‘Isms

When it comes to religion today, we live a confusing world that is characterized by schISMS. Think about how many isms surround us–Denominationalism, Catholicism, Protestantism, Pentecostalism, Adventism, Mormonism, Calvinism, Arminianism, Premillennialism, Materialism, etc., etc. The pervasive division leaves many people feeling puzzled, some even hopeless, and many are just “done” with religion, all because of the rampant isms that abound to ad nauseam.

Here’s a simple, profound but challenging question/proposal. What if we put aside all isms? What if we put aside all man-made doctrines and man-made churches? What if we came to the Bible without ANY prejudices of what others have believed or what others have taught, and what if we were to only speak where the Bible speaks and to remain silent where the Bible is silent? What if we were to simply call Bible things by Bible names and do Bible things in Bible ways? What if we restored New Testament Christianity precisely as it was designed, established and revealed to us in our New Testaments? Wouldn’t that be beautiful!
