Whole Bible Christianity

Word Of God Ministries Title

Are you sold out, or a sellout?

Rarely does a book come along that shakes the foundations of the church like Whole Bible Christianity by Bruce S. Bertram. Starting with the Garden and using almost 1,500 references from every book in the Bible, Bruce first shows that there is no church in the Bible. Then he identifies modern Pharisees and illustrates how they have led many churches to abandon the New Covenant, pursuing instead worldly ideas of self-seeking. If these weren’t enough to rattle cherished church doctrine, next Bruce dares to suggest that the solution to church and culture rot is to get back to the Bible. Believers need to be sold out for God rather than selling out to the world.

The author shares how he discovered whole Bible Christianity and calls the church to repentance. He quotes Jesus who commands we eat His body and drink His blood, which simply means living the whole Word of God. Bruce explores the near wholesale discarding of the Old Testament and suggests a return to the plain meaning of the whole Word unfettered by the philosophies of the world systems. The joker in the deck is that this includes the Law. The church tries to explain it away, yet it’s the key to abundant life and the New Covenant.

Bruce’s controversial views have brought many to a fresh understanding of the Bible and renewed relationship with Jesus. He tackles many of the extra-biblical negative teachings about the Law, redirecting attention to what the Bible actually says about the issues. For instance, he points out that the New Covenant is directly stated in the Old Testament at Jeremiah 31:31-34 and that the main feature of it is God’s Law written on a heart of flesh. Twenty objections to incorporating the whole Bible into a believer’s life are refuted, along with presenting 24 blessings from it. Bruce also identifies the Nicolaitans, returns the teachings of Paul to their whole Bible base, and answers the question “What Did Jesus Do?”

The book recovers lost meanings of words such as faith, sin and idolatry, pulls out instruction from the Bible on how to understand the Bible, and gives some practical suggestions on application of the Law.
