Ep. 24: Can You Mix Jesus with the World? The Dangers of Syncretism in the Church
In this thought-provoking In this thought-provoking episode of Deformed Theology, Jonathan and David tackle one of the most dangerous yet overlooked trends in modern Christianity — syncretism — the subtle blending of biblical faith with worldly culture. Can you truly mix Jesus with the world and still call it Christianity? Or does every compromise slowly deform the very truth we’re called to live by?
Join us as we dive deep into Scripture, church history, and current events to expose how syncretism has crept into today’s church, from ancient golden calves to modern rainbow crosses. We explore how the sacred and the profane have been fused together — often in the name of progress, inclusion, or relevance — and what the Word of God actually says about it.
💬 Topics we cover include:
The biblical definition of syncretism and why it’s spiritually dangerous
How Israel’s compromises in the Old Testament mirror the modern church
Mormonism, Jehovah’s Witnesses, and Catholic affirmations — examples of blending faith and falsehood
The rise of Christian nationalism, where politics and the pulpit collide
When sin gets rebranded as “love” — how affirming culture distorts truth
Why Jesus warned about mixing wheat and tares, truth and deception
The modern acceptance of LGBTQ+ theology and what Scripture really says
How to discern truth, reject compromise, and stay grounded in the Word
🕊️ Through humor, honesty, and a love for truth, Jonathan and David remind believers that God’s Word is not a buffet. We don’t get to pick and choose what parts of Scripture fit modern culture. Christ calls His people to be set apart — not blended in.
📖 “You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons.” – 1 Corinthians 10:21
This isn’t just a verse — it’s a warning. In a world where cultural Christianity often outweighs biblical conviction, we must return to the authority of Scripture, walk in repentance, and let the Holy Spirit transform our understanding.
🔥 Whether you’re a pastor, Bible student, or simply a believer who wants to discern truth from deception, this episode will challenge you to ask:
👉 Have I mixed my faith with the world?
👉 What have I accepted that God rejects?
👉 Where might my own theology be deformed?
If you’re hungry for truth, ready to test every idea against Scripture, and tired of surface-level faith — this episode is for you.
