Who is this false Jesus the world loved?

[David]

The “false Jesus everyone loves” is not the Jesus of the Bible. He’s a counterfeit created by culture, false religion, and soft preaching. He doesn't confront sin, doesn’t preach repentance, and never talks about hell. He’s portrayed as accepting everyone exactly as they are, without expecting them to change. This false Jesus is more like a therapist or a mascot for personal happiness than the Lord of glory.


But the real Jesus said hard things. He called sinners to repent (Luke 13:3), warned about judgment (Matthew 7:21, 23), flipped tables in the temple (John 2:15), and declared that following Him means dying to yourself (Luke 9:23). He said the world would hate His followers, not applaud them (John 15:18, 19).


This fake Jesus is popular because he doesn't demand holiness, obedience, or truth. He makes people feel spiritual without confronting their rebellion. That’s why the world loves him. But the real Jesus divides truth from lies, sheep from goats, and light from darkness (Matthew 10:34–39).


Paul warned about “another Jesus” in 2 Corinthians 11:4, and that’s exactly what this is, a false version stripped of truth, power, and judgment. If your “Jesus” never offends the world, you’re probably following the wrong one. The real Jesus saves sinners, but He does it on His terms, not ours.

The false jesus comes in Islam. Islam is a counterfeit religion very similar to Christianity. It has a false god named Allah, a false prophet named Muhammad, a false book named the Koran. And a false prophetic scenario very similar to Christianity's which is a false, self-fulfilling, \ldblquote demonic inspired prophetic scenario,\rdblquote with a false returning messiah named the Mahdi, and a false returning Christ called, \ldblquote the Muslim Jesus, who is said to be the Mahdi's subordinate. Not to mention the Islamic 'dajjal' who is the Islamic anti-Christ and the biblical anti-Christ as well. AND to think, ISIS believes jesus will return to help them defeat the dajjal/anti-christ!

Yes there is a false Christ in Islam. That is correct. But hear me on this. That is not what should terrify you.

The scariest thing about a false Christ is not the one coming on the streets and outside of the church. It is the one coming into the church. The one sitting in the pew. The one being preached about in the pulpit. The one being embraced by people who still call Him “Lord.”

Paul said, “For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus… ye might well bear with him” ~2 Corinthians 11:4. That verse isn’t about Islam. That is a verse about you and me. What we could allow to happen under our watch.

Listen to Christ Himself and let every man tremble. “Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven” ~Matthew 7:21. Do you understand what He is saying? These are not barbarians. These will not be Muslims or Hindus or Buddhists. These are followers. These will call Him names and use His title and yet He will say to them that day, “I never knew you.”

That is what should terrify us.

Men want a Jesus that forgives all, but doesn’t change anything. A “feel good” Jesus who doesn’t convict them of their sin. But that Jesus is a fiction.

The real Christ said, “If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me” ~Luke 9:23. Death. Surrender. Submission. Obedience.

Yes there are counterfeits of Christ in other religions. But the question each man must ask is this. Do you follow the Christ that Scripture reveals or one that you have made comfortable to yourself?

Because Jesus didn’t say on the last day we would stand in as groups based on our labels. He will separate the sheep from the goats by those who know Him, and those whom He knows.
