Show Notes

The Carpocratians reshaped Jesus to suit their culture turning Him into a religious genius, rejecting the Old Testament, denying His uniqueness, and redefining justice as radical equality. By accommodating Christ to contemporary philosophy, they created a fictitious “modern” Jesus whose relevance vanished with the culture that produced Him.

This impulse is still with us. Whenever Christ is revised to fit the spirit of the age, faith is emptied of power. The answer then and now is unwavering allegiance to the whole Word of God and the true Christ it reveals.
