WIKIJESUS… 'Not Authoritative'

Wikipedia is not allowed in any university or high school in America as an academic source.

It simply does not carry the accuracy or authority required of a quoted source. Yet this little factoid does not stop over 2.5 billion people a month from using Wikipedia, many of them multiple times. People don't need authority or accuracy because we have become their own authority for their own life and hate any claims that challenge our own perspectives. Life dictates that we still need daily flow of information, we just want it on their own terms. We need a Jesus... but the biblical character is too absolute, so we have created a WikiJesus.

Simple Solution?

Hebrews 12:2
Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Hebrews 13:8-9
13. Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.
14. Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied therein.

The spirit of Antichrist is in the world today

The WikiJesus is very strange and ridiculous, yet has ascended as the dominant view of Christ in the world today. Its this idea of a weak minded, effeminate, crybaby Jesus walking around hugging, kissing, and loving everyone. The idea is that Jesus came to justify sin through association with sinners and not through His sacrifice on the Cross, the idea that justification is based on His words instead of His actions. The WikiJesus throws ideas at a global dartboard of problems to see which one sticks. He gives options, lessons, suggestions for living a better life. He carries as much authority as you, me, or the text books for anatomy class we neglected to purchase. But we keep Him around because we enjoy His love, His lack of requirement, and His social opportunities and constructivist tradition.

This is a fable, a farce of the real Jesus as the gospel of Matthew records:

Matthew 7:28-29
28. And it came to pass , when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:
29. For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.

Jesus taught with all the authority of God. He taught with the urgency of the kingdom of heaven being at hand. He taught with the passion and fervency of saving the whole world. He wrote our faith… and He finished it on the cross. It requires a man to be scourged and nailed to a tree without crying out, not the work a life coach. It takes a man, a strong husband to endure undeserved shame for His bride the church's infidelity.

In a world of change… Jesus never changes. In a religion of changing doctrines as diverse as the wind, Jesus stays the same, yesterday, today and forever. He is the authority of this world, at His name every knee should bow and every tongue confess that He is Lord.

Which Jesus do you follow? Does He come with a label like this one:
