The Toxic Gospel
Justification in Christianity means being declared righteous by God's grace through Jesus' death, not by one's own merit. The toxic gospel from some factions of the Reformed church portrays God as an angry tyrant who had to kill Jesus out of hatred for humanity, which is a pagan view. The true gospel emphasizes God's love and self-giving nature, contrasting him with Zeus or Apollo. While some Reformed preachers present a gospel focused solely on the cross as a transaction, the complete gospel is broader, involving more than just a one-time experience of faith.
