Title: CHURCH HISTORY CHAPTER 7 - HERESIES: GNOSTICISM SUPPLEMENT
Topic: Church History

Discussed by Dr. Mark Laaser
with Dr. Mark Laaser (www.FaithfulAndTrueMinistries.com)

Day 4

HERESIES

Irenaeus was a big inspiration for John, who in turn influenced many, many in the First Century Church – even up until the book of Revelation and today! Their lessons made people question the Gnostic teachings. Maybe God was the only “god”. Maybe God really was Jesus. Maybe Jesus really was God. Maybe Jesus was really sinless. Maybe Jesus really did die on the cross and rise again three days later.

Mark discusses how, from the beginning, He has been. He always will be. In 1 John, we see how the people saw Jesus after his death. They touched him. This is not some made-up story. They testified to it! That was a very vital point.

Listen in as Mark explains how Gnostics did not believe you needed to be saved from your sins because “your body is your body”. They believed real salvation is the liberation of your mind from your body. Kinda new-agey, don’t you think?

But John says “No no no!” You don’t unite to God through “secret knowledge”. You unite to God by the historical fact that a human God as Jesus Christ came to earth, lived a blameless life, died for all of our sins, and rose again so that we might have a relationship with Him and live with Him forever.

If you do not have a church home, Mark invites you to come to Champion Forest Baptist Church in Houston, TX. Attend the early service at 9:30 AM and then go the Family Life Center (located near the center of the church building) for his Life Group class, which begins at 11 AM. Mark’s class averages about 800 people every Sunday, so don’t be shy! Come and join them this Sunday!

Listen in every day to hear a portion of Mark’s lesson.

Remember, you can order a copy of his new book, “Christianity on Trial”, directly from the publisher [here].
