17 And now I make one more appeal, my dear brothers and sisters. Watch out for people who cause divisions and upset people’s faith by teaching things contrary to what you have been taught. Stay away from them. 18 Such people are not serving Christ our Lord; they are serving their own personal interests. By smooth talk and glowing words they deceive innocent people. 19 But everyone knows that you are obedient to the Lord. This makes me very happy. I want you to be wise in doing right and to stay innocent of any wrong. 20 The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. May the grace of our Lord Jesus[a] be with you.
"[But] I think that in a generation or so we might stop using the term Christian, and I hope, perhaps we will stop using labels for every religious tradition. There is nothing wrong with a faith tradition evolving.
Yes, probably so. But I don't intend to be here when that happens. And I don't think - I hope God doesn't wait for another generation to pass before this comes about. Are there people who pray that He tarries for awhile longer? Is that why He hasn't come yet? Can we hold off His coming with just our prayers? I pray He comes quickly.
Without Christ there is NO Christianity and NO hope.
