The Day the Church Stopped Believing In God

John 17:3 “And this is eternal life, that they may know you the only true God.”

How can the Church stop believing in God? Every church is centered on God. It would be better stated that every church is centered on a god. If you believe the logic for the reasoning for God that says God is the being of which no higher being can be thought, then there is only room for one God in the universe. Therefore, God must then be higher than any of our thoughts and thus the only way to know him is to believe what He has revealed about Himself to mankind. In churches all over, they have stopped believing in this Being. It is common to hear someone say, I cannot believe in a God who would send people to Hell. I cannot believe in a God who would not allow women to preach. I refuse to believe in a God that says homosexuality is wrong. I do not want to believe in a God that would choose to save one person and not the next. And all over, without verbalizing it, many have made the claim that they cannot believe in a God that does not let His will be dictated by men's will. I would challenge you to study the Bible and see what God says about all of these things (Romans 9:22-23, Romans 9:13-18, 1 Corinthians 6:9, 1 Timothy 2:12). This does not exhaust the list, but are some of the ways in which we reconstruct God. We try to make him fit our mind, our logic, and our desires. However, the end result is that we stop believing in the one true God, and start worshipping a god constructed in our own mind. What are you basing your eternal life on, the only true God, or a god of you mind?
