Urgent Seminar: Trojan Horses, Gnosticism and Christianity

Sovereign Grace Chapel and Trinity Bible Institute are pleased to host a most-needed seminar entitled ‘The Trojan Horse in the Church’. This is urgent because Christianity is in great peril. The date of the seminar is July 8th and 9th. (Details to follow).

The topic is Gnosticism. I have written previously about our upcoming seminar, but I am compelled to expand on things already said. Gnosticism is not some ancient cult that has long since passed off the scene. Rather, it is Paganism’s perennial outreach program to the Church throughout history. The Gnostics began their mission in the earliest times and have persisted, finding a foothold here and there over the centuries. Today, because our current Church leadership lacks a spirit of hostility towards it, Gnosticism is making a comeback. A huge comeback.

Christianity is built on one foundation — the Truth. Truth about Christ, God, man, history, the spiritual realm and everything else the Bible addresses. Paganism is built on two foundations — outright lies about about all these things, and secondly, distortions and perversions of the Truth. These distortions and perversions is what we call Gnosticism.

Gnostics capitalize on spiritual deception. They use stealth, half-truths, truths mixed with lies, lies mixed with truth, all designed to seduce the unsuspecting away from a proper and healthy relationship with the Almighty.

So today, we have blatant forms of Gnosticism, presenting itself under the name of the New Age Movement. However, it is the subtle forms of Gnosticism that are more pernicious — forms that even the most conservative churches have embraced. These will be the topic of our seminar.

Let me give you one example. Gnosticism always attacks the ‘ex nihilo’ creation account that the Bible teaches — that God created the universe in six literal days, and created it out of nothing. In other words, God spoke it into existence by nothing more than the power of his words. And He did so for His own good pleasure.

Gnosticism always distorts this truth. It attacks the creation account in a number of ways. It may say that the creation came into being through evolution. It may say that it came into being twice. It may say that there was a ‘gap’ of millions of years before Adam and Eve arrived. It may say that God had some need to create it. It may say that the Bible is not clear about how it all happened. It may say that creation was a huge divine mistake. It may say that it really doesn’t matter how it happened or what anyone believes about it.

Whatever Gnosticism says about it, you can be sure it accuses those who hold to the orthodox view of creation as trouble-makers; contentious and divisive. However, the problem does not lie with those who stand firm for Biblical truth; it lies with those who seek to undermine it. So, many conservative churches have willingly accepted a degree of Gnosticism in order to maintain unity of their congregation. To many pastors it seems like such a minor compromise, but once Gnosticism gets a foothold, it spreads and attacks other areas of Christianity. Soon, that orthodox Christian church is no longer either orthodox or Christian.

There can be no compromise with Gnosticism in any of its forms. We must war against it with extreme vigor. Our seminar will give Christians a great overview of the problem, and arm them for the battles that lie ahead. Please seriously consider attending — it is THE issue of our day.
