“Agreed, and he’d probably be shocked at a good portion of organized Christianity today.”

Not really. He predicted (at the end of the Sermon on the Mount) that all sorts of charlatans would arise, including ones using His name. And he gave the test: “By their fruits ye shall know them.”

We ourselves are shocked, and I think that we should be. We should be shocked and offended. But Jesus is not surprised — grieved, but not surprised.

There were several other tests as well,

mostly that those who speak from the world’s point of view (ie, are friends of the world) do not speak from God’s point of view,

and are in error, speaking from the “spirit of error” (Satan).

1 John 4, John 8:42-, James 4:4
