Before we examine the Killer F.A.R.T. that is poisoning vast numbers of religious people across the globe, we must first briefly discuss each characteristic that defines a F.A.R.T.

F. stands for False statement. In ancient times (i.e. when various explorers sailed across the Atlantic Ocean) many people would state emphatically that the earth was flat and that explorers were in danger of falling off the edge of the earth if they went too far. Doubtless, you are aware that this statement has been proven to be false.


A. stands for "Anti-Christian." The statement above [that the earth is flat and that one can fall off the edge] is false. However, this statement of itself does not seek to destroy the Christian teachings as defined within the pages of the Holy Bible. However, there are some statements/ideas that are not only false, but that deny the essential biblical teachings of what it means to become a Christian. We will come back to the idea of Anti-Christian ideas momentarily. Now let us continue our definitions of the F.A.R.T. components.

R. stands for Repentance. In the case of a FART, the Anti-Christian ideas have to do with belief in False statements about the essence of "true repentance." An example of these false notions about true repentance includes statements such as "I truly repented and was water baptized, so what I do or say does not matter to Christ." John the Baptist commanded that the religious teachers of his day should: "Bring forth therefore fruits meet for repentance:" See Matthew 3:8. The Living Bible puts this same verse as follows: "Before being baptized, prove that you have turned from sin by doing worthy deeds."

T. stands for Theology. Many people not only accept False, Anti-Christian ideas regarding what Repentance really means, but they build up a whole belief system (or theology) based on false notions of repentance. Further, these individuals subvert and confuse the minds of would-be Christians by cunningly marketing their false Theology as honest biblical teaching.

So, you ask the question: "What is the Killer F.A.R.T. that is poisoning the lives of men and women, boys and girls?" The Killer FART that is destroying lives, families, and even religious organizations is the false theology that a person who truly repents and accepts Christ into their heart may possibly continue to practice sin and live a sinful lifestyle. Within this theology the drug-user has no promise that he can be free from the use of illegal substances; the wife abuser has no hope that he can be free from committing abusive acts against his wife; the adulterous minister is doomed to continue his affair he carries on with the church's correspondence secretary; and we must overlook the illegal money deals made between our "Christian" elected government officials and wealthy unethical citizens.

However, our gut feeling tells us that this theology cannot be true. More importantly, God's book of truth called the Holy Bible tells us that this theology is false. I Corinthians 6:9-11 plainly states:
