The FIREMAN...

The FIREMAN...

I teach that Jesus Christ
is the Saviour of the world-

and that he can not be
SAVIOUR OF THE WORLD-
and not
SAVE THE ENTIRE WORLD

I get replies that Christ
can be the Saviour of the world,
and yet
NOT SAVE THE ENTIRE WORLD

They give me this type of proof:

When a fireman goes into a burning building to save trapped people,
what happens if these trapped people refuse to be saved?

Is the fireman not still a fireman
simply because some do not wish to be saved?

Here we see the foolishness of the carnal mind at work
desperately grasping for straws to support
an unscriptural theory-

that Christ TRIES to save everyone...
(just like a fireman tries to save those trapped in a burning building),
but is unable to save everyone because many REFUSE to be saved

Therefore Christ is STILL the Saviour of the world
even if He doesn’t save everyone in the world

I have been told by Christians many times
that most of humanity will CHOOSE
to be burned in the pain of literal hell fire for all ETERNITY,
rather than to be saved by Jesus Christ

UTTER FOOLISHNESS!!

Only an insane person would prefer to be burned
in literal torturing flames of fire
rather than to be saved by a fireman!!

Futhermore, Any fireman worth his salt
will save men, women, children, and even cats, dogs, and other pets,
WHETHER THEY WANT TO BE SAVED OR NOT

Imagine a mother being told by a fireman
that he left her little girl back in a burning building
because the little girl didn’t want to be rescued by a fireman?

Jesus Christ does not suffer the limitations of a fireman!
Jesus Christ IS GOD! God does what He WILLS,
and God wills to save all humanity (1Tim 2:4 and Isaiah 46:9-11)

As always, the God of Perfect Love has a Perfect Plan

2Peter 3:9
The Lord is...not willing that ANY should perish

Rom 11:32
For God hath concluded them... ALL ... in UNBELIEF,
that he might have mercy upon ALL

1Tim 4:10
because we trust in the living GOD,
who is the SAVIOUR of ALL men,
specially (but not only) of those that believe

1Tim 2:4
Who will have ALL men to be SAVED
and to come unto the knowledge of the truth

Luke 3:6
And ALL flesh shall see the salvation of God

John 12:32
And I, if I be lifted up from the earth,
will draw ALL men unto me

1John 4:14
And we have seen and do testify
that the Father sent the Son
to be SAVIOUR of the WORLD

2Cor 5:19
To wit, that GOD was in CHRIST,
reconciling the WORLD unto himself,
not imputing their trespasses unto them;
and hath committed unto us
the word of reconciliation

John 1:29
Behold the Lamb of God,
which taketh away the sin of the WORLD
God sent Yahushuah (Jesus)...
to be SAVIOUR of the entire WORLD

Rom 5:19
For by one man's disobedience
MANY WERE MADE SINNERS (MANY means ALL)

so by the obedience of one
SHALL MANY BE MADE RIGHTEOUS (MANY means ALL)

DO YOU REALLY BELIEVE THE BIBLE

Do you really,
I mean REALLY BELIEVE
the first half of 1Cor 15:22
"FOR AS IN ADAM. ..ALL...DIE?" (ALL OR MANY?)

Do you really,
I mean REALLY BELIEVE the last half,
"EVEN SO IN CHRIST SHALL
..ALL.. BE MADE ALIVE?" (ALL or MANY?)

Do you believe that Yahushuah (Jesus)
only "wants or wishes" to save the world?

Do you BELIEVE
"our Saviour, God, who wants and wishes
for all mankind be saved and come
into a knowledge of the truth"
is a proper translation of 1Tim 2:4?

Do you believe
"Who WILLS
that ALL MANKIND BE SAVED"
is also the proper translation?

Do you BELIEVE Isa 46:11?
"I have spoken it
(as in He has spoken it in 1Tim 2:4 for example)
I WILL ALSO BRING IT TO PASS:
I have PURPOSED it,
I WILL ALSO DO IT"

Isa 46:9-10
"I AM GOD, and there is none like me
Declaring the end from the beginning,
and from ancient times
the things that are not yet done,
saying,
My COUNSEL SHALL STAND,
and I WILL DO ALL MY PLEASURE”

YOU CANNOT BELIEVE BOTH;
that God "WILLS" to save ALL mankind
and that He WILL perform ALL His "PLEASURE"
and will bring about ALL that He has "SPOKEN"

and then BELIEVE...

that He will NOT save ALL mankind
and will NOT accomplish ALL His WILL
and will NOT do all His PLEASURE
and His COUNSEL will NOT stand

Can Yahushuah (Jesus)
be SAVIOUR of the entire WORLD
and NOT SAVE the entire WORLD?

Will Yahushuah (Jesus)
FAIL the Father and NOT SAVE the entire world?

Heb 9:27
And as it is appointed unto men once to die,
but after this the judgment

Isaiah 26:9
for when thy judgments are in the earth
the inhabitants of the world
WILL LEARN RIGHTEOUSNESS

1Cor 3:15
If any man's work shall be burned
he shall suffer loss but he himself
shall be SAVED yet so as by FIRE

ALL things work together for good
and Yahushuah (Jesus) will SAVE the entire world

The Prize and "High Calling" of God,
is to be in the first resurrection
and be able to stand before him-
and not to go through Purification by Fire

Remember, the Bible proclaims:
1Co 12:3
and that no man can say
that Yahushuah (Jesus) is the Lord,
but BY the Holy Ghost

It is this same Holy Spirit
which seals us unto the day of redemption

Eph 4:30
And grieve not the holy Spirit of God,
Whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption

And so shall it be, even with the “unbelievers”

when God’s judgments are in the earth
the inhabitants will learn righteousness
they will receive the Holy Spirit
and they will bow and confess
Yahushuah (Jesus) is Lord

Rom 14:11
For it is written, (in Isaiah 45:23)
AS I LIVE, saith the Lord,
(does this sound like "maybe" he really means it?)

every knee SHALL bow to me,
(do you think “shall” means “maybe” or “possibly”?)

and every tongue shall confess to God
(do you think “every” means just a few?)

Isa 45:22, 23
“Look unto me, and be ye SAVED,
ALL the ends of the earth;
For I am God and there is none else
I have sworn by myself,
the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness,
and shall not return,
(what part of the word “not” do people not understand?)
That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear

Rom 10:13
For whosoever shall call
upon the name of the Lord shall be saved

AND BELIEVE ME...

those who have "their part" in the Lake of Fire
will be calling upon the Name of the Lord-

They will learn righteousness
They will bow before him
and they will confess him as Lord
