What About That Other Bible? (257C)

Speaker: Dr. Erwin W. Lutzer

Date: 1/1/1900

References: 2 Peter 2:2

Introduction:

The Gnostic bible is the knowledge base for the Da Vinci Code novel.
Because it doesn’t reference places, it is a difficult book to evaluate.
Illustration: Time magazine reported that the Gnostic bible fills a need for “alternative views of Christ.”
The Gnostics believed they had special knowledge and denied the deity of Christ.
Why is this bible an unreliable source of truth?

The Gnostic bible lacks credibility.

Books are attributed to people who didn’t write them.
The documents are not eyewitness accounts.
The gospels are anti-historical.
Illustration: Foolish quotations from The Gospel of Thomas.

The Gnostic bible articulates pagan philosophy.

Conclusions about Jesus are drawn from imaginary data.

Reasons why the Gnostic bible is popular.

Radical feminists can use the writings to support their ideas.
The Gnostic gospels make sex a sacrament.
The writings present a more humanized Jesus.

Conclusion:

If Jesus is only human, we are damned forever.
Read God’s true revelation and you will know that God has spoken.
