Hello, in this video I just want to cover Andy Stanley's new sermon where he now has a new interesting definition of what sin is.

00:09

Watch. When Jesus showed up, it was the temple model and the message of the temple model was this.

00:16

When you sin, you break God's law. The Jesus model sounded like this.

00:23

When you sin, you break yourself and others, which breaks

00:31

God's heart. Okay, so the Bible says in 1

00:36

John 3, verse 4, that sin is the transgression of the law. So, breaking God's law, that is how the

00:42

Bible defines sin. And that's the New Testament definition. But somehow, Andy, after 2 ,000 years, has come up with a completely new explanation.

00:52

Why? Well, I would argue the reason is because he now affirms sin at his church.

00:57

North Point Community Church just baptized an open, unrepentant, transgender person.

01:03

So, the Bible clearly lists that, and a lot of other things, as sin. So, if Andy is going to affirm what the

01:10

Bible calls sin, he clearly can't go by the Bible. He has to come up with his own definition. And that's what he's doing.

01:16

In this new sermon series, titled The Fundamental List, which is a play on words, because Andy Stanley thinks fundamentalists are ridiculous.

01:25

You know, they just go by the Bible. I mean, how absurd is that? But Andy Stanley has already indicated that the

01:32

Christian teaching of hell or eternal punishment is something that should be discarded. You can watch my recent video about that, that I posted yesterday.

01:41

But really, the bigger issue, I think the biggest issue is that Andy is, let's face it, he's denying the authority of God's Word.

01:51

He's already taught that Christians should unhitch from the Old Testament. Now, since he's denying the

01:58

New Testament definition of sin, it looks like he wants to unhitch the New Testament as well.

02:03

In his last sermon from this series, he indicated that really only the four Gospels matter.

02:09

They matter more than all the other, like the epistles of Paul. So, that's the most obvious problem.

02:16

Andy is not preaching the Bible. The Bible gets to define what sin is.

02:22

Why? Because God gets to define that. Andy Stanley does not get to just make up whatever he wants and reinvent the

02:29

Christian faith. A pastor's job, according to 2 Timothy 4, is to preach the Word.

02:34

Andy is clearly not doing that. He is preaching his own opinions. And again and again, he is discouraging people from going back to the

02:44

Bible as the authority. So, that's the real danger, that he's a pastor who's not preaching the

02:50

Bible. You shouldn't listen to pastors who don't preach the Bible. So, his new definition of sin is exactly that.

02:58

It's a new definition. That is not how the Bible defines sin. So, this is very dangerous, and I suspect with this and seeming denial of hell, how we should get rid of that.
