The sin of syncretism: It seems that many today teach that there are Christians in ALL denominations but can this be true scripturally? God was against this practice in the days of Israel and we see how it brought Israel down. That sin was committed with the Canaanite Baals and many other "melded" groups each one coming to destruction.Is there anything we can learn from this? In the book of Hosea Israel said: “’I’ll run after other lovers and sell myself to them for food and water, for clothing of wool and linen, and for olive oil and drinks” (Hosea 2:5. But Hosea told the people that the giver of these blessings was Yahweh and not Baal. Yahweh said: “[Israel] did not know that it was I who gave her the grain, the wine, and the oil, and who lavished upon her silver and gold that they used for Baal” (Hosea 2:8). "Ephraim compromises with the nations; he's a half-baked cake". (Hosea 7:8). God never approved of syncretism and I believe still doesn't since He does not change (Malachi 3:6), nor does Jesus Christ (Hebrews 13:8). Therefore to say true Christians are mixed in with all denominations seems to be totally unscriptural and it is syncretism. If indeed there are some in other churches would not the call be to come out from among them and be separate as the Lord says? Better yet what is stopping them and why are they seemingly so comfortable in that state? What say you?
