Welcome to Real Christianity, where our mission is to bring the Church back to the Bible.

My name is Dale Partridge and I'm the president of Relearn.org and Reformation Seminary.

The premise of this show is simple.

The culture is growing darker.

The Church is in need of sound doctrine and many Christians are hungry for the truth.

Join me here each week as we look to scripture and discover what it really means to be a Christian.

Welcome to the show.

Over the last few weeks I have been walking through scripture passages that are commonly misinterpreted

and as a result misused and misapplied.

So far I've covered two of the four passages that I plan to examine in this short series.

The first passage was second Peter 3.9 which many people use improperly to refute the doctrine of election.

The second passage I covered was first Peter 224 which prosperity teachers in the Bethel Hillsong

and even the greater prosperity movement have perverted in an attempt to turn the cross into the solution not only for our sin

but also for our physical health.

Today I'm going to be talking about a passage that might be the most misused and abused passage of scripture in this series

and potentially the most misused passage of scripture ever.

But I want to just make one critical observation before I begin.

The people who misuse this passage of scripture the most are often not Christians.

Now this passage is used by the world to refute the moral corrections and instructions given by Christians.

So before we begin I'm excited to talk to you about this but I want to mention this episode sponsor.

Thinking differently about your healthcare options can be difficult.

As you guys know I've battled seasons of chronic illness and my medical expenses, man they can pile up quickly.
