Investigating Religions
WHAT IS YOUR ATTITUDE TOWARD TRUTH?
“Therefore, putting aside all filthiness and all that remains of wickedness, in humility receive the word implanted, which is able to save your souls” (Jas 1:21).
Man must have certain attributes in order to receive the word of God. A humble person has a teachable disposition and accepts what God has to say. A person must be humble enough to admit his own ignorance. “The teachable spirit is without resentment and without anger, and is therefore, able to face the truth, even when it hurts and condemns. The teachable spirit is not blinded by its own overmastering prejudices, but is clear-eyed to the truth. The teachable spirit is not seduced by laziness, but is so self-controlled that it can willingly and faithfully accept the discipline of learning” (Barclay, p. 68).
“Receive” infers that it is difficult to accept what the Bible says if one refuses to humble himself. James is describing the good and honest heart. “Now the parable is this: the seed is the word of God. 12 Those beside the road are those who have heard; then the devil comes and takes away the word from their heart, so that they will not believe and be saved. 13 Those on the rocky soil are those who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no firm root; they believe for a while, and in time of temptation fall away. 14 The seed which fell among the thorns, these are the ones who have heard, and as they go on their way they are choked with worries and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to maturity. 15 But the seed in the good soil, these are the ones who have heard the word in an honest and good heart, and hold it fast, and bear fruit with perseverance” (Luke 8:11-15).
“The implanted (engrafted) word” isn't born in the heart, for such would make teaching and preaching unnecessary. In addition, man doesn't, within himself, inherently know the truth. “I know, O Lord, that a man's way is not in himself, nor is it in a man who walks to direct his steps” (Jer 10:23; cf. Prov 14:12; 1 Cor 2:9). The word implanted refers to the process of teaching. “All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; 17 so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work” (2 Tim 3:16-17). We are to receive the inspired revelation = The Bible.
EXAMPLE: How does a doctor or mechanic arrive at a diagnosis? BY A CAREFUL EXAMINATION! “These were more fair-minded than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness, and searched (examining) the Scriptures daily to find out whether these things were so” (Acts 17:11). The church we read about in the Bible had a unique identification. All we need to do is look for a group today with the SAME identifying marks. If you can't find one then start one by following the New Testament (NT) pattern.
In order to learn the identity of the NT church, we must have the SAME DESIRE AND ATTITUDE as those searching for truth in NT times. “But when it was now the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and began to teach. 15 The Jews then were astonished, saying, ‘How has this man become learned, having never been educated?’ 16 So Jesus answered them and said, ‘My teaching is not Mine, but His who sent Me. 17 If anyone is willing to do His will, he will know of the teaching, whether it is of God or whether I speak from Myself.’” (John 7:14-17). “So Jesus was saying to those Jews who had believed Him, ‘If you continue in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine; 32 and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.’” (John 8:31-32). “Sanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth” (John 17:17). “Now these were more noble-minded than those in Thessalonica, for they received the word with great eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so” (Acts 17:11).
1. THERE IS A WAY THAT IS RIGHT. Truth implies a right way and a wrong way. Josiah “did that which was right in the eyes of Jehovah” (2 Kings 22:2). What did Josiah do that caused God to make that statement? Please read the section found in 1 Kings 21:10-23:25. Notice that their forefathers (including Josiah’s father) had corrupted the one true system of worship as instructed by God. Josiah had a zeal for righteousness and selected honest men as his co-workers. Upon finding the book of the law, Josiah had it read, accepted what it said, repented, inquired of God and made a commitment to restore the law that had been corrupted. He tore down the innovations and the innovators and restored God’s true system of worship.
After Josiah RESTORED God's true system of worship, God APPROVED of his actions. “And before him there was no king like him who turned to the Lord with all his heart and with all his soul and with all his might, according to all the law of Moses; nor did any like him arise after him” (2 Kings 23:25). Although we are not under the law of Moses today (Gal 3:1-13, 19-24; 4:9-11; 5:3-4) we can use this example (Rom 15:4; 1 Cor 10:1-11) in regards to the corruption of the law of Christ by restoring the one true system of worship today. Josiah made many people upset but that didn't stop him from doing right by following the book of the law.
2. JESUS EXPOSED FALSE TEACHING. “For God said, ‘Honor your father and mother,’ and, ‘He who speaks evil of father or mother is to be put to death.’ 5 But you say, ‘Whoever says to his father or mother “Whatever I have that would help you has been given to God, 6 he is not to honor his father or his mother.”’ And by this you invalidated the word of God for the sake of your tradition” (Matt 15:4-6). Jesus compared what they taught with what His Father taught. He drew a clear and sharp distinction. Christians are also instructed, “Do not participate in the unfruitful deeds of darkness, but instead even expose them” (Eph 5:11). We strive to have the same love and motive Jesus had by “speaking the truth in love” (Eph 4:15), pleading for people to abandon false teaching and traditions. Clinging to God’s truth sets us free from false teaching (John 8:32). I pray that I don’t “become your enemy by telling you the truth” (Gal 4:16).
3. ARE WE WRONG IF WE PLEAD WITH EVERYONE TO GET BACK TO THE BIBLE? Many have come out of differing denominations and returned to God's plan of salvation. Is it wrong to do what Josiah did? WE DON'T CLAIM TO BE BETTER THAN OTHERS AND WE ARE NOT IN COMPETITION WITH ANY DENOMINATION. What we are offering is an alternative you can't get anywhere else: An opportunity to be JUST A CHRISTIAN WITHOUT BELONGING TO ANY UNSCRIPTURALLY ORGANIZED RELIGION. We are simply a group of people helping each other to get to heaven.
In 1 John 4:1 we are warned, “Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.” Today just as it was in the first century “many false prophets have gone out into the world.” We cannot be too careful with our soul.
Some have written Christianity off because of what they see among those who claim to follow Christ. Jesus knew this would happen, as we can see in His prayer the night before He was crucified: “I do not pray for these (the apostles) alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word; that they all may be one, as You, Father are in Me and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me” (John 17:20-21). Anyone who encourages the religious divisions of today opposes Christ's prayer for unity.
Let us go back to the Bible. As God tells us in 1 Peter 4:11, “Whoever speaks, is to do so as one who is speaking the utterances of God.” In other words, we are to speak where the Bible speaks and be silent where the Bible is silent. We must call Bible things by Bible names and do Bible things in Bible ways. We will not be wrong in doing this. To do this we must get rid of all the manuals, creeds, disciplines, and confessions that men have written and follow only what we can read in the Bible, because the Bible is our only guidebook to heaven. As God's word says in 1 Peter 3:15, “But sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence.” This study has tried to meet this awesome responsibility, because our eternal salvation is a very serious matter.
OUR INVITATION: We will gladly give scriptural authority for everything we teach and practice or else quit it. If anyone can show by the Scriptures that we should teach or practice something which we are not, we will begin to do so immediately!

Standing Firm In One Spirit
“Therefore, putting aside all filthiness and all that remains of wickedness, in humility receive the word implanted, which is able to save your souls” (Jas 1:21).
