Many people have walked into the Roman Catholic Church through the broad door of the “church fathers,” and this is a loud warning today when there is a widespread attraction to the “church fathers” within evangelicalism.

How should we look at the larger issue of trying to obey God? Believe it or not, the idea of trying to obey God is becoming almost heretical in some Christian circles today. There are even seminars and conferences being offered today that deliberately minimize the importance of obeying God’s law.

Jesus taught his disciples that in the last days, a time of mass delusion will come upon the earth. This is not only happening in the world, but it is happening in the church as well.

They kept some baggage from their former faith that isn’t even found in God’s Word, or it is contrary to the teachings of Scripture.

This is a well-documented examination of the influential writer C.S. Lewis, who is loved with an equal fervor by “conservative evangelicals,” hell-denying emergents, Roman Catholics, Mormons, and even some atheists. We examine Lewis’ weak conversion testimony, his heresies, and the reason why he is so popular today..

The Jesus Seminar has been the source for many of the stories secular news magazines print about Jesus, especially around Easter and Christmas. Should they be considered authoritative? Can their scholarship be trusted? Drs. Ankerberg and Weldon look further at some of the problems with the Jesus Seminar in this article.
