Jerry
B. Jenkins' statements about his method of sharing the gospel line up with
The Plan. The New
World Order Church rejects absolute truth, and thus shuns
polemics.
Jerry stated that
being a "polemic evangelical" is offensive. He sent the message that Christians who unwaveringly stand on
absolutes (polemic individuals) are smug and condescending. The
Lord Jesus Christ is the epitome of truth and love. He
does not have a flippant attitude of
"that's too bad for you," when an individual rejects him
and
chooses hell instead, and neither do his real followers.
Jerry B. Jenkins' characterization of
Christians as being unloving if they stand firm on the absolute truth of the
gospel is exactly what the One World Church leaders want people to think:
I think it behooves evangelicals to find
some way to express that what we believe is the truth, yet we
want people to know it breaks our hearts, too. We can't just be
smug and condescending and say, "Well, Jesus is the only
way to God. That's what the Bible says. Good for me, too bad for
you." That's going to turn people to the point where they
don't want to hear any of it.
We can't shrink from that truth, and yet we
have to find ways to say it, because the truth of it alone is
offensive.
In fact, the success of Left Behind has
given you a media platform where you're regularly asked to
defend that position.
I think some interviewers are halfway
hoping that I'm going to be the sort of polemic evangelical who
sits there smugly and says, "That's what it says, too bad
for you." Instead, I say, "I realize this is
offensive, and I realize that not everybody is going to accept
this, but I feel my job is to share this news and what they do
with it is up to them. But if they reject it, I would still pray
for them, still love them, still associate with them."
