Spreading God's Love Thru Prayer

YOUR GOD ... or ... MY GOD ... YOU DECIDE

YOUR GOD ... or ... MY GOD ... YOU DECIDE

ARE YOU TOO...
WORSHIPING A GOD OF FAILURE...

A God
Who always has to go from plan A to plan B

A God
Who is running a "disaster control operation" from heaven

A God
Who supposedly created creatures
HE CANNOT CONTROL

Creatures that will wreck His original plan

The foolish and unscriptural teaching
is that God created a PERFECT archangel
who then SINNED AND REBELLED AGAINST God

But ... BUT,
here is the evil in this teaching:

God did not INTEND,
neither did He KNOW
that this was ever going to happen!!!

Then, supposedly,

God created PERFECT MAN
and put him in the garden of Eden,
and never INTENDED for him to sin or rebel,
nor did He KNOW it was going to happen!!

FOILED AGAIN!!

Then God sent His Son Jesus Christ to BE:

"The SAVIOUR OF THE WORLD" (1John 4:15)

And now we are taught by most Christians
that JESUS CHRIST FAILED!!!

He wanted to save the world,

He tried to save the world,

It was, in fact, His VERY WILL
that all mankind be saved (1Tim 2:4 & 4:10),

but He COULDN'T DO IT

Man's phantom "FREE WILL"
proved to be FAR TO POWERFUL
FOR THE SON OF GOD TO OVERCOME...

FOILED AGAIN!!!

How many times
must your God FAIL
before you find ANOTHER GOD?

WAKE UP PEOPLE....

God created EVIL, not Satan
or any other supposed power greater than God (Isa 45:7)

God uses evil for good

GOD planted the tree
of the knowledge of good AND evil in the garden

If man wanted to know "good"
he had to partake of the tree of EVIL as well

BOTH WERE IN THE SAME TREE, IN THE SAME FRUIT!!!

Both good and evil experiences
are necessary in the building of
Godly Character,

and so God provides both

God knew what He was doing,

He knows what He is doing,

He will continue doing
exactly what He planned FROM THE BEGINNING!!!

God is not...
operating a "disaster control center"
from his throne of the universe

He is not trying to "pick up the pieces"
of a totally unexpected tragedy
that he never saw coming

He is not trying to "figure out" a way
to somehow to get things back
to being as good as they once were

He is not
trying to "figure out"
a way to out smart Satan-

and he is not "falling behind" numerically
as far as how many will be saved
and how many will be lost

God has a plan,
and he is working out that plan
to perfection on a perfect schedule

God has a "will" and he has his "intention"

There are times,
when we will go against his will
accorded with his divine plan-

but we will never ever go against his intention-
which is his intended FINAL RESULT

Contrary to popular belief;

God's "WILL" was that man would sin
and indeed be lost for a period of time

but his "INTENTION" is for ..ALL.. to be saved,
and come to a knowledge of the truth-

thus becoming Sons and Daughters of the Most High

It was God-

who planted the tree
of the knowledge of good and evil-not Satan

It was God who put Satan there to do the tempting

It was God who made Adam and Eve Spiritually weak
so that they would indeed partake of the tree according to plan

Rom 8:20-22
For the creature was made subject to vanity not willingly
but by reason of him (God) who hath subjected the same in hope;
because the creature itself also shall be delivered
from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty
of the children of God

For we know
that the whole creation groans and travails in pain until now

Vanity-empty, vain, profitless, depravity (wickedness)

Bondage-slavery, subjection

Corruption-spoil, ruin, deprave defile decay, destroy, perish

Groan-moan, calamity murmur grief anguish

Travail-pangs, pain, travail as in birth,

Pain-anguish, starving

God himself...
subjected the whole creation to vanity

and it is God himself who will deliver
the whole world from the bondage
of corruption, pain, and suffering

The Lamb of God
was "slain from the FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD"

The Salvation of Adam and Eve and the entire world
was prepared way before they were ever even created

Why do you suppose there was but one tree
containing both qualities of good and evil?

Because you can't separate good from evil

You can't appreciate good-
if you have never experienced evil

You can't appreciate light-
if you have never experienced darkness

You can't appreciate eating
if you have never been hungry

You can't become a Son or Daughter of God
without knowing good and evil

The Father commissioned Yahushuah (Jesus)
to be the Saviour of the world

Will he fail the Father, and not save the entire world?


Read my writing:

Have you been tested for Spiritual Color Blindness
(Most Christians will die in their sins)

You will then understand why Yahushuah (Jesus)
said "few there be" that will find the narrow way
and stand before him without sin

The majority...
will have "THEIR PART" in the Lake of fire

and as was insinuated,

some will receive few lashes (so to speak)
and some will receive many-

but you will not come out (but you ..do.. come out!!)
until you've paid the uttermost farthling

How can anyone be a minister of the gospel
and doubt the God of Perfect Love
saving ALL of His children?

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


HOW GOOD OF A POTTER IS GOD?

Rom 9:20-21
"Nay but, O man,
Who art thou that replies against GOD?

Shall the thing formed (that’s us)
say to HIM that formed it, (that’s GOD)

Why have YOU made me thus?

Rom 9:20-21
Has not the Potter (GOD)
power over the clay (man),
of the same lump
to make one vessel unto honour,
and another unto DISHONOUR?"

GOD IS THE POTTER AND WE ARE THE POT

Could anything be plainer?

GOD, the Potter,
does not owe an explanation to the pot
as to WHY He made the pot the way HE desired!!

And God desires

to make some pots honorable
and some pots DISHONORABLE

Why?

Because He is a mean and nasty God?

NO!!!

because HE has a plan, a purpose,and intentions,
to save ALL humanity in the end

That... IS THE "WILL" OF GOD

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


Then what about HELL....

Things to ponder
about eternal punishmet forever and ever

ADAM AND EVE WERE NEVER
WARNED BY GOD OF ENDLESS PUNISHMENT

"But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil,
you shall not eat of it: for in the day that you eat thereof
you shall SURELY DIE" (Gen 2:17)

The wages for eating the forbidden fruit
was "you shall surely die"
And:
"In the sweat of your face shall you eat bread,
till you return unto the ground
[not be turned into a terrorists hellhole
of endless torture in some pagan hell]:
for out of it [the ground] were you taken;
for dust you are, and unto dust shall you return" (Gen 3:19)

Death began immediately

Notice a better translation of Gen 2:17:
"…to die shall you BE DYING" (Concordant Old Testament)

Their life was but a slow death
until they returned to the dust of the ground

God said that their judgment for sinning
was to be RETURNED to the ground
from whence they came

They didn’t come from
some terrorists hellhole of torture in fire,

so how could they "return" to such a place
when God plainly stated
that they would "RETURN unto the ground?"

They came from the earth and they returned to that earth
God cursed the serpent, and God cursed the ground,
but nowhere did God curse Adam and Eve

God pointed out
the different judgments against Adam and Eve,
such as multiplied childbearing pains, sorrow in gathering food
all the days of his life, thorns, thistles, and sweat,
but no mention of punishment in death or after death

If Adam and Eve were to have a far greater punishment
(trillions and trillions of times greater)
at death or in death or after death,

Why did not God warn them of such an horrible destiny?

Why would God tell them one thing
and then pull a trick on them
and do something totally different
when the time came?

Listen to what God said to Ezekiel:

"When I say unto the wicked, You shall surely die
[hey, isn’t that exactly what God did say to Adam?]

and you give him not warning, nor speak to warn the wicked
from his wicked way, to save his life;
the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity;
but his blood will I require at your hand" (Ezek 3:18)

Are we to believe that God held Ezekiel
to a higher standard of morality than God holds for HIMSELF?

God told Ezekiel that He would require Ezekiel’s blood
if he did not warn the wicked so they could be saved from death

Do we then turn around and accuse God
of a lower standard in which God Himself
has utterly failed to warn the human race of a destiny
that is trillions of times worse than mere death?

God would hold Ezekiel responsible
for the death of just one wicked person,
whereas God Himself feels no responsibility
for failing to warn the entire human race
of a fate trillions of times more severe?

CAIN WAS NEVER WARNED
BY GOD OF ENDLESS PUNISHMENT

Notice very carefully God’s conversation with Cain:

"But unto Cain and to his offering He [God] had not respect
And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell
And the Lord said unto Cain, Why are you wroth?
And why is your countenance fallen?
If you do well, shall you not be accepted?
And if you do not well, SIN lies at the door
And unto you shall be his desire,
and you shall rule over him" (Gen4:5-7)

God warned Cain that if he did not do well,
that sin would be at his door

But did God say
"endless torment and punishment would be at his door?" No

"And Cain talked with Abel, his brother;
and it came to pass, when they were in the field,
that Cain rose up against Abel his brother and slew him

And the Lord said unto Cain, Where is Abel your brother?
And he said, I know not: Am I my brother’s keeper?

And He said, What have you done?
The voice of your brother’s blood cries unto Me from the ground

And now are you cursed from the earth
which has opened her mouth to receive
your brother’s blood from your hand:

When you till the ground it shall not henceforth
yield unto you her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond
shall you be in the earth" (Verses 8-12)

Did God threaten Cain with
"endless punishment
in some subterranean hellhole of torture in fire?" No

But notice Cain’s reply?
"And Cain said unto the Lord,

My punishment is greater than I can bear
Behold, you have driven me out this day
from the face of the earth, and from Your face shall I be hid;
and I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth:
and it shall come to pass, that every one [any one]
that finds me shall slay me" (Verse 13-14)

What? My punishment is greater than I can bear?

If Cain thought being a fugitive and vagabond
and having poor crops was greater than he could bear,

what pray tell would he have thought
had God told him that he would be punished
for all eternity in some hellish pit of fire?

Did God fail to tell Cain about the
"endless torture" because He was afraid
it would be too much for Cain to psychologically handle?

Did God fail to inform Cain of his coming endless punishment
because He was afraid it might discourage him,
or some other unfathomable fiendish foolishness?

Search all we may, we won’t find this
pagan doctrine of Christendom in the Scriptures

But hold on there’s more
We are not finished with this account of Cain yet

"And the Lord said unto him,
Therefore, whosoever slays Cain,
vengeance shall be taken on him sevenfold

And the Lord set a mark upon Cain,
lest any finding him should kill him" (Verse 15)

Let’s all use our brains together on this one:

Cain is a murderer

It doesn’t get much worse than that

Not only a murderer, but, a murderer of his OWN BROTHER

But God tells us that if someone
should find and slay Cain the murderer,
then that person would have vengeance
taken on him seven times greater?

SEVEN TIMES GREATER
than burning in some fabled hell for all eternity?

Seven times greater than that?

Are they kidding?

Can any human mind conceive of a punishment
seven times GREATER than being tortured in fire for all eternity?

Here then would be the orthodox logic
of this whole scenario:

Kill your brother, and receive a certain punishment:

but kill the murderer of his brother,
and receive "seven TIMES greater" punishment

There is nothing greater, or "seven TIMES greater"
than an eternity of torture in fire

Does someone wish to stop and seriously argue this point?

Then how is it possible that any who would kill Cain,
would have a punishment "seven times greater" than Cain,
if his punishment is to be tortured in real fire endlessly?

Cain’s punishment will not be an eternity of torture in fire

Cain died, just as his parents (Adam and Eve) died

But there is no punishment in death

Cain’s "punishment" was here on this earth
while Cain was still alive, not after

And likewise, anyone who found and killed Cain
would have punishment on this earth
while they were still alive,
"seven times greater," than that of Cain

The wages of sin is death not eternal life in hell

if you die...you don't burn forever
if you burn forever...you don't die


The Truth About HELL Just Might Burn You Up

IF YOU DIE...You don't BURN forever
If you BURN forever...YOU DON'T DIE

From the Old Testament Hebrew Bible;
Sheol was translated to hell
(a chamber.... cave, tomb, or grave)

When the Hebrew Bible was translated to Greek
Sheol then became hades
(unseen underworld for the dead)

The concept of torment
was not associated with Sheol
by any of the old testament prophets

As Christianity was arising

The Levitical Priesthood
became the privileged "learned"
in regard to the letter of the law

Therefore, they were respected and feared
for they had the power of life and death

When Rome under Titus invaded Palestine in AD 70
the temple was destroyed and eventually
Rome accepted Christianity

As the Popes of Roman Catholic Church
began their "holy apostolic succession"

They quickly realized that
fear and ignorance worked much better than love

The everlasting torments of Hell
thus made its appearance
in conjunction with the opposite
alluring rewards of Heaven

This brought many people
and much money into the church

You were not allowed to have a Bible
as the church would instruct you
in all matters concerning religion

But soon, an "enemy" would arise
in the form of the Printing Press

Ex-communication from the church would be the result
if anyone was caught reading or having any portion
of the Wycliffe Bible

William Tyndale and John Rogers
were burned at the stake for being translators

Translating from one language to another
was not always easy and errors were made

One such example,
was the translating of Hebrew and Greek words
to the English words of eternal, everlasting
and for ever and ever

The hebrew word OLAM and the greek word AION
can be simplified to the english equivalent of EON(age)
for this explanation

First of all, that which NEVER ceases
can only be in the SINGULAR form

Therefore,
if the hebrew OLAM or greek AION
equals the english EON(age)
meaning TIME UNENDING (eternity)

there could be but ONE such EON (age)

One such time unending

Yet many times, these words are used
as PLURALS in our scriptures

So, if there are times
when there are more than one EONS (ages)

We must conclude that one of these EONS (ages)
must of necessity be of A LIMITED DURATION

Therefore, if translators rendered
certain passages FOR EVER AND EVER
this would have to be an error

because if FOR EVER means time unending (eternity)

It would be incorrect
to attach to TIME UNENDING (eternity)

another equal period of TIME UNENDING (eternity)

by the added words of AND EVER

This error results
in the "ETERNAL" nature of HELL
equaling in the same language
our "ETERNAL" reign with Christ

So it would appear
that our life with Christ is to be ETERNAL
and that our suffering in HELL is to be ETERNAL also

Yet, what did Paul write about the reign of Christ?

1Cor 15:24,25
Then shall the end come,

when he (Christ)
hands over the Kingdom to God the Father
AFTER he has destroyed
all dominion, authority, and power
For he must reign UNTIL
he has put all his enemies under his feet

The reign of Jesus
is to be of a LIMITED duration
which will at some point come to a termination

Just as the Lake of Fire
is to be of a LIMITED duration

which will at some point come to a termination-

after having completed what it was truly designed
by God the Father to accomplish

The words
"everlasting"... "evermore"... "for ever"...
"fore ever and ever"... and "eternal"...
are no where found....

not even once in any Hebrew or Greek manuscript
from which our modern language Bibles are translated!!

One of the greatest lies about our loving God
has made its way into the church and is
being taught as truth

Insinuating, that our Father in Heaven
is a God of hatred and vengeance

And that he is
the greatest of all hypocrites-
in that he teaches us to "be ye perfect
as your Father in Heaven is perfect"... love your enemies!!

yet he will torture his enemies in fire for all eternity...

This most evil doctrine was designed to insure
that man would hate the loving Creator

The truth is:
God, is not going to and never intended to
burn anyone, in the Lake of Fire for all eternity!!

The first time Jesus came, it was NOT
to condemn or judge the world
but to save the world

The next time Jesus comes it will be
to judge the world in RIGHTEOUSNESS

Those that will be cast into the Lake of Fire,
will have their carnal sinful natures burned away!!

In the consuming, purifying presence of God
they will learn righteousness

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

Yes, there will be punishment in this Lake of Fire
for those who will be cast therein
shall burn in accordance with their sinful carnal natures

The fire will not be quenched
until all the sinful nature is burned away;

resulting in that person
learning obedience and being made perfect

The wages of sin is death not eternal life in Hell

If you die…you don’t burn forever
If you burn forever…you don’t die

If the wages of sin was to burn eternally in Hell-

then Jesus,would have had to burn eternally
in Hell for taking all sin upon himself!!

The wages of sin is death followed by a resurrection

Rev 20:6
Blessed and holy is he that hath part
in the first resurrection:
on such the second death hath no power

Rev 2:11
He that overcometh shall not be
HURT (not killed) of the second death

Malachi 3:3
He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver

This verse puzzled some women in a Bible study
and they wondered what this statement meant
about the character and nature of God

One of the women offered
to find out the process
of refining silver and get back to the group
at their next Bible Study

That week, the woman called a silversmith
and made an appointment to watch him at work

She didn't mention anything
about the reason for her interest
beyond her curiosity about the process
of refining silver

As she watched the silversmith,
he held a piece of silver
over the fire and let it heat up

He explained that in refining silver
one needed to hold the silver
in the middle of the fire
where the flames were hottest
as to burn away all the impurities

The woman thought about God
holding us in such a hot spot

then she thought again
about the verse that says
He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver

She then asked the silversmith
if it was true that he had to sit there
in front of the fire the whole time
the silver was being refined

The man answered yes
he not only had to sit there
holding the silver in the fire;
but he had to keep his eyes on the silver
the entire time it was in the fire

If the silver was left
a moment too long in the flames
it would be destroyed!!

The woman was silent for a moment
and then asked the silversmith:

How do you know
when the silver is fully refined?

He smiled at her and answered

Oh, that's easy-

when I see My IMAGE in it!!


Is Elohim able to redeem anyone from hell?

The Translators of the King James Version
translated the HEBREW word "SHEOL"
to the ENGLISH word "HELL" thirty times

If sheol is indeed hell,

is God able to redeem anyone from this "hell"?

Psalms 49:15
But God WILL redeem my soul
from from the power of the GRAVE: for he shall receive me Selah

The word "grave" in this verse is the Hebrew word "sheol"
which is translated "hell" in no less than thirty other verses

So if "sheol" really is "hell"

then there is "REDEMPTION" FROM HELL

And in the GREEK:

1Cor 15:55
O death, where is thy sting? O GRAVE, where is thy VICTORY?

The word "grave" in this verse is the Greek word "hades"
which is translated "hell" in no less than ten other verses

So if "hades" really is "hell"

then there is "VICTORY" OVER HELL

But the fearful, and unbelieving, and abominable,
and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers,
and idolaters, and all liars, shall HAVE THEIR ..PART..
in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone:
which is the second death

What is Brimstone anyway?
Does it make the fire hotter and more painful?
Is it caustic to the skin causing greater pain?

Brimstone is defined by the dictionary as Sulfur

Sulfur, is often called brimstone, burning stone, or ignited sulfur

It has been used in religious ceremonies for
PURIFYING or fumigating buildings and for bleaching cloth
(Encyclopedia Britannica, page 536)

Methods of Production:

Producers describe their method
of obtaining sulfur from the ore as
PURIFICATION BY FIRE (Page 537)

Interesting thought-
Purification by Fire
Purification by a Lake of Fire?

Physical Properties:

Sulfur is
TASTELESS, ODORLESS,
AND OF NO EFFECT ON THE SKIN (page 537)

Sulfur is a
POOR CONDUCTOR
OF HEAT AND ELECTRICITY (page538)

Interesting thought-
A poor conductor of HEAT

An even more interesting thought-

So if God were to put enough Brimstone into the Lake of Fire,
it would actually have the potential of protecting those in the fire
like an asbestos suit!!

Am I going to fast for anyone?
Do you see where I am going with this line of thinking?

Malachi 3:3
He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver


To be the Saviour of the World...
One must SAVE the entire WORLD!!

The Fireman

I teach that Yahushuah (Jesus)
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)


"GOD IS LOVE" 1John 4:8

How many believe it?

Do YOU believe it?

Not if you also believe
that God will torture the majority of mankind
unmercifully in real fire for ALL eternity, you don’t

1Tim 2:4
"For this is good and acceptable
in the sight of God our Saviour:
Who WILL HAVE ALL MEN TO BE SAVED,
and to come unto the knowledge of the truth"

ONLY Christians
(lead by Christian theologians,
clergymen, pastors, and teachers)
that teach the whole world that Jesus Christ,
the Saviour of the Whole World (1John 4:14),
WILL NOT SAVE THE WHOLE WORLD

That he only "wants and wishes"
that he could save the whole world

It is ..ONLY.. THEY,
who teach the world that this prophecy
in 1Tim 2:4 will NEVER COME TO PASS

By the way, God NEVER, EVER
"wishes" or "hopes" for ANYTHING!

He "desires" things that absolutely
are certain to come about,
but God never wishes or hopes for things
that may or may not come about

Consider this:

Suppose 1Tim 2:3-4
did not say what is in our Bibles-

but suppose it said the following:

"For this is good and acceptable
in the sight of God our Saviour;

Who will ..NOT.. have all men to be saved,
and to come unto the knowledge of the truth"

Would not every single detractor who teaches
that God will NOT save all humanity
then use this Scripture to
PROVE THAT GOD WILL NOT SAVE ALL MEN?

YES OF COURSE THEY WOULD!
YOU KNOW THEY WOULD!

They would be delighted
to show from the Scriptures a statement
saying that God "WILL NOT" save all men?

And this Scripture would then
be the one most profound statements
in all Scripture to back up their doctrine
that all men will NOT be saved

This would be their "proof text"
that God most assuredly
WILL NOT save all men

Now then,

the ONLY difference between the fabricated verse above
and the real verse found in all Bibles in 1 Tim 2:3-4
is the addition of the word "not"

So if the addition of the word "NOT"
would prove that God will not save all men,

then the deletion of the word "NOT"
would have to prove that God WILL save all men

So if this verse had said that
God "WILL NOT" save all men,

then it would definitely mean
that all men will NOT be saved!!

I don’t think there is a theologian alive
who would deny that!

But here is the unbelievable irony of their teaching:

since it says that God
"WILL have all men to be saved"

(according to theologians),
this phrase also
MEANS THAT GOD WILL NOT SAVE ALL MEN!

Now,Imagine

if 1 Tim 2:3-4 really did say that
"God will NOT save all men,"

and then I would try to argue
(using the same stupid scholarship as theologians use)

that this verse doesn’t really mean
that God will NOT save all men,

but that it means
He only "DESIRES" that all men "NOT" be saved

when in reality they WILL all be saved,
even if God were to say
He "will NOT" save all men

Would not my detractors try to laugh me to scorn
over such inane reasoning?

OF COURSE THEY WOULD!
YOU KNOW THEY WOULD!
EVEN THEY KNOW THEY WOULD

Well, guess what?

The word "NOT" is NOT in this verse

So God really "WILL save ALL men!"

Ask a hundred pastors or theologians
if your mother, let’s say, were to bow her knees
in the name of Jesus [Jehovah-Saviour] Christ
and confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, will she be saved?

I am pretty sure all one hundred would say,
"YES, OF COURSE!"

Next ask the same one hundred
whether all those in heaven and earth...

who will also bow and confess
Jesus as Lord will be saved,

and I am pretty sure all one hundred would say,

"NO, OF COURSE NOT!"

See the difference?

Me neither!!


The Consuming Spiritural FIRE of GOD

We are saved by grace through faith (Eph 2:8)

However, that does not purge us
from all our filthy thoughts and deeds

No, there is more

There is also a consuming FIRE that God uses on us:

"For other foundation can no man lay
than that is laid, which is JESUS CHRIST
Now if any man build upon this foundation
gold, silver, precious stones,
WOOD, HAY, STUBBLE;

Every man’s work shall be made manifest;
for the day shall declare it,
because it shall be revealed BY FIRE;
and the FIRE shall TRY EVERY MAN’S WORK
of what sort it is

If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon,
he shall receive a reward
If any man’s work shall be BURNED,
he shall SUFFER LOSS;

but...

[pay close attention to this BIG BUT]

BUT HE HIMSELF
[the one who had his works burned
and consumed in God’s consuming fire]

SHALL BE SAVED
[What will save him?],

yet so AS BY FIRE" (1Cor 3:11-15)!!

Ah dear readers,
can we begin to understand the workings of God?

God consumes with fire,
the wood, hay and stubble in our lives
The things that don’t deserve to continue

But he REFINES the gold, silver, and precious stones
(those doctrines and godly character traits
of God’s spirit that abide the fire)

It is figurative language, it is an analogy,
it is a parable, it is metaphorical
(where one thing is called another thing)

Our lives have either qualities of character
(which are likened to gold and precious stones,
things of value to refine and retain),

or gross lacks in character
(which are likened to wood, hay, and stubble
and which are not worthy to retain or preserve)

And just as real literal fire
is used to refine and purify gold and precious metals,
so God’s SPIRITUAL FIRE refines and purifies us
from our sinful and carnal nature

And likewise, as real literal fire
is used to burn up wood and stubble,
so God’s all consuming SPIRITUAL FIRE
will consume and burn up all the impurities in our life

These things MUST DIE
This purging is the SECOND DEATH

And whether the person God subjects
to His consuming fire has many good qualities or none,
the person himself shall be purged, purified, and
SAVED BY GOD’S ALL-CONSUMING SPIRITUAL FIRE!!!

We just read it in God’s Holy Word

How can any deny it?

Every person who has ever lived
will be subjected to the cleaning fire of God’s spirit

God is the JUDGE (Rev 20;12) ...NOT Satan
This judgment throne is "WHITE" not black!

God judges in righteousness

"He shall judge the world with RIGHTEOUSNESS"
(Psalm 96:13)

"Because He [God] hath appointed a day,
in which He will judge the world in RIGHTEOUSNESS"
(Acts 17:31)

Next I present a Scripture that many Christians hate

I’ll bet you have never heard a sermon on this verse

We read that God has appointed a day (a period of time)
in which He will "JUDGE" the whole world

Revelation 20:10-15 IS THAT DAY OF JUDGMENT!

Now we know that those not found in the book of life
will be put into FIRE, and they will be TORMENTED

This is certainly part of this judgment

But it is not literal fire

Literal fire burns up physical things
and literal fire cannot harm spiritual things

So what does the fire do or accomplish? ...MUCH!

This judgment in Revelation 20
IS that worldwide judgment spoken of in many prophecies

But is the purpose of this worldwide judgment
to torture people by burning their flesh
in real fire for all eternity?

Is that HOW God judges in " righteousness" ?

Absolutely not

We just read where God burns up our fleshly WORKS,
and this is "tormenting" for sure

But God does not torture our flesh for all eternity

Don’t get me wrong,
there will be severe chastisements
on those who despise God and His Savior and His Gospel

But out of their ashes will come salvation!!

Here is another marvelous Scripture
which answers what happens to sinning humanity
when God JUDGES THE WORLD in righteousness

"For he [GOD] bringeth down them that dwell on high;
the lofty city, he layeth it low, HE LAYETH IT LOW,
even to the ground, he bringeth it even to the dust"
(Isa 26:5)

Make no mistake,
God will judge the wicked with great severity

However, ALWAYS FOR A BENEVOLENT PURPOSE:

"With my soul have I desired thee in the night;
yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early:
for when Thy judgments are in the earth,
THE INHABITANTS OF THE WORLD
WILL LEARN RIGHTEOUSNESS" (Isaiah 26:9)!!

There will come a time
when those who only knew
how to blaspheme the name of God,
will come to LEARN RIGHTEOUSNESS

They will not just "hear" of righteousness,
no, they will actually "LEARN RIGHTEOUSNESS"!

The whole book of Isaiah
speaks of judgments on Israel and on the nations

But the end of all these judgments
is SALVATION TO ALL

Notice 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
[as in, ‘For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior;
Who WILL HAVE ALL MEN TO BE SAVED, and to come unto the
knowledge of the truth,’ I Tim. 2:3-4] ,
and shall not return,
That unto me EVERY KNEE SHALL BOW,
EVERY TONGUE SHALL SWEAR"
(See also: Phil 2: 9-11 & 1Cor 12:3)

God’s words will NOT return empty or void

When God speaks, it will be done
When God wills, it will be done
When God desires, His desires WILL BE DONE:

"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 ...
I have spoken it,
I WILL ALSO BRING IT TO PASS;
I HAVE PURPOSED IT, I WILL ALSO DO IT"
(Isa 46:10-11)

Oh the blasphemy of those who teach
that God’s most heartfelt desires
WILL NOT COME TO PASS,
but will utterly fail!!!

Jesus Christ is not the "potential" Savior of the world;

HE IS THE SAVIOR OF THE WORLD!!!
HE WILL SAVE THE WORLD!!!

How many self- appointed, bible- thumping,
doomsday, fire and brimstone,
eternal torture in hell preachers
believe these verses in Isaiah?

Not one that I know of!

Most Christians have never been taught
the Scriptures that I am giving you

These things are despised by many
who call themselves "Christian"

And yet, God’s Word is FULL
of such statements of God’s Salvation to ALL


WHO ARE THE "FALSE CHRISTS"

Who are they...
who almost deceive
the VERY ELECT and DECEIVE MANY?

We read that they are
"false Christs" and "false prophets"

But WHO are these false Christs and false prophets?

How will we know them?

What IDENTIFIES them as
false prophets, liars, and deceivers?

Here are just two Scriptures
where Jesus gives us the IDENTIFYING SIGNS
of the these false teachers, and deceivers:

"MANY will say to me [Jesus] in that day,
Lord, Lord [Master, Master], have we not:

A: PROPHESIED
[taught, preached] in Thy Name [Jesus]?

B: In Thy Name [Jesus]
have CAST OUT DEVILS [demons]?

C: And in Thy Name [Jesus]
done MANY WONDERFUL WORKS [miracles]?

And then will I profess
[plainly, openly, tell them to their face]
I NEVER KNEW YOU: DEPART FROM ME
YOU THAT WORK INIQUITY [lawlessness]" (Matt 7:22-23)

"For MANY shall come in my name,
saying [that], I [Jesus] am Christ,
and shall deceive MANY" (Matt 24:5)

Who are the "MANY" today who,
(1) Teach and preach in the name of Jesus Christ?
(2) Cast out demons in the name of Jesus Christ?
(3) Do MANY (not a few, but many) WONDERFUL WORKS
(not evils works, but good and wonderful works),
in the name of Jesus Christ?

...Who?

The Russians? The Chinese? The Muslims?
The Hindus? The Confucianists?
The Buddhists? The Jews?

The QUARTER BILLION Ethnic Religionists?

The HUNDRED AND FIFTY MILLION Athiests?

Do ANY of these worldwide religions
"teach, preach, cast out demons,
and do many wonderful works
IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST?"

No, they don’t!!

Well then,

WHO ARE THESE "MANY" who do these things?

Do not "MANY"
of the TWO BILLION CHRISTIANS in the world today,
"teach, preach, cast out demons, and do many
wonderful works IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST?"

Then I would say that we have identified
the "many" that Jesus warned us about

It is not enough...
to preach, teach, heal, and cast out demons
in the name of Jesus Christ-

One has to also OBEY
the commandments and teachings of Jesus Christ

Jesus said that it is the "many" who do good words,
but are guilty of "iniquity" which means "lawlessness"

Next, who are the "MANY" today who say that,
"Jesus IS THE CHRIST, THE MESSIAH?"

No, don’t be deceived;

it is not those few who occasionally claim
that they themselves are "Jesus the Christ"

They don’t deceive the "MANY"

Only some fool would ever be deceived
into believing that some carnal idiot
really IS the Christ

Besides, there are NOT "many"
who make such a claim in the first place

But there certainly are "MANY"
who say and teach that JESUS is the REAL CHRIST!!

And so it is not only those
who "teach and preach and cast out demons
and do many wonderful works in the name of Jesus"
who are DECEIVING THE MANY,

but also there is a large group (many)
who teach that "Jesus really IS THE CHRIST"

and yet Jesus said it would be these
that are also DECEIVING THE MANY!!

Millions of Christians
have heard these Scriptures quoted all their lives
But, God forbid that they would pause a minute or two
to consider WHO REALLY ARE THESE PEOPLE
THAT JESUS IS TALKING ABOUT THAT REALLY DO
THESE MANY WONDERFUL THINGS
AND YET-DECEIVE THE MANY!!

Jesus Christ said
"I will BUILD My church..."(Matt 16:18)

Where are God’s people (My people)?

"And he cried mightily with a strong voice…
And I heard another voice from heaven saying

COME OUT OF HER MY PEOPLE,
that ye be not partakers of her SINS,
and that ye receive not of her PLAGUES" (Rev 18:2,4)

Who is the "her"
that "God’s PEOPLE" are to "COME OUT OF"
but "Mystery Babylon the Great, Mother [catholic church]
of Harlots [protestant daughter churches]
and the ABOMINATIONS of the earth" (Rev 17:4-6)

Today’s Church threatens the world of sinners
with eternal torture in eternal fire
if they do not

...COME INTO...

their Great Mystery Church of Abominations!!!


"Know you not that
YOU ARE THE TEMPLE OF GOD,
and that the Spirit of God
dwells IN YOU?" (1Cor 3:16)

That's because,

"God that made the world and all things therein,
seeing that He is Lord of heaven and earth,
DWELLS NOT IN TEMPLES MADE WITH HANDS" (Acts 17:24)

No, God does not "dwell"
in temples and buildings made with hands,
but SATAN does "DWELL" in carnal churches
made with hands (Rev 2:13)

The Depths of Satan is found IN THE CHURCH

He doesn't attack the Church
from without, but from within:

Where do we find "Satan’s seat (throne)?"
Why, IN THE CHURCH (Rev 2:13)

Where do we find "where Satan dwells?"
Why, IN THE CHURCH (Rev 2:13)

Where do we find "the doctrine of Balaam?"
Why, IN THE CHURCH (Rev 2:14)

Where do we find them who
"say they are apostles (of Christ) and are not?"
Why, IN THE CHURCH (Rev 2:2)

Where do we find them
who have "left their first love?"
Why, IN THE CHURCH (Rev 2:4)

Where do we find them which
"say they are (spiritual) Jews and are not,
but are the synagogue of Satan?"
Why, IN THE CHURCH (Rev 2:9 & 3:9)

Where do we find
"them that hold the doctrine
of the Nicolaitanes, which thing I (Jesus) hate?"
Why, IN THE CHURCH (Rev 2:15)

Where do we find "that woman Jezebel,
which calls herself a prophetess,
to teach and to seduce my servants
to commit fornication and to eat things
sacrificed unto idols?"
Why, IN THE CHURCH (Rev 2:19)

Where do we find them that
"have a name that you live, and are dead?"
Why, IN THE CHURCH
Where do we find them that
"are wretched, and miserable,
and poor, and blind, and naked?"
Why, IN THE CHURCH (Rev 3:17)

And were do we find "the DEPTHS of Satan?"
Why, IN THE CHURCH, of course Rev 2:24)


THE CHURCH OF GOD IN PRIVATE HOUSES

There was a transition period
where the disciples still went up to the temple,
but God’s intimate dealings would now be found
in more humble surroundings

When the Holy Spirit was poured out
on the first Saints of Jesus,
it was not in a synagogue, but in a house:

"And when the day of Pentecost was fully come,
they were all with one accord in one place
and suddenly there came a sound from heaven
as of a rushing mighty wind,
and it filled all the HOUSE
where they were sitting" (Acts 2:1-2)

Church services were held in houses:

"Likewise greet the church
that is in their house" (Rom 16:5)

"The churches of Asia salute you
Aquila and Priscilla salute you
much in the Lord, with the church
that is in their house" (1 Cor 16:19)

"Salute the brethren
which are in Laodicea, and Nymphas,
and the church which is in his house(Col 4:15)

"Paul, a prisoner of Jesus Christ,
and Timothy our brother,
unto Philemon our dearly beloved,
and fellow labourer,
and to our beloved Apphia,
and Archippus our fellowsoldier,
and to the church in your house"(Philemon 1-2)

When we come to the famous Jerusalem Conference
in the fifteenth chapter of Acts, we read
that Paul and Barnabas were
"…being brought on their way by the CHURCH…"(Acts 15:3)

This is the Church of Jesus Christ,
not the church of the synagogue system

Notice that in this conference
their determination was to not force
the Law of Moses on new Gentile converts:

"Then pleased it the apostles and elders,
with THE WHOLE CHURCH…" (Acts 15:22)

The High Priests did not attend this conference

This was the first "Policy Binding Counsel"
of the Church of Jesus Christ,
consisting of only those who believed,
who formulated policy which would be binding
on the whole church

The Jews had "synagogues"―church buildings

The newly converted Christians came out of
those synagogue church buildings
and their doctrines, and met in homes

Why?

Mostly because Christ was not taught
or tolerated in these synagogues

In order to worship and follow
the teachings of Jesus Christ,
it became necessary to "come out of her"...
the synagogue system of religion

Wherefore...

2Cor 6:17
Wherefore come OUT from among them
and be ye seperate, saith the Lord,
and touch not the unclean thing,
and I will receive you

Rev 18:4
Come out of her, my people,
that ye be not partakers of her sins,
and that you receive not of her plagues

God is calling his people ..OUT.. of the Churches
and thus hiding them in the shadow of his hand

Jer 6:2
I have likened the daughter of Zion
to a comely and delicate woman

Isa 51:16
And I have put my words in thy mouth, and
I have covered thee in the shadow of mine hand,
that I may plant the heavens,
and lay the foundations of the earth,
and say unto Zion, Thou art my people

Can anyone...
by their own "FREE WILL" choose Christ
or Does God himself FORCE our steps?

John 15:16
Ye have not chosen me,
but I have chosen you, and ordained you,
that ye should go and bring forth fruit,
and that your fruit should remain:

Can you or anyone else
by their own "FREE WILL"
come to JESUS CHRIST?

John 6:44
No man can come to me,
except the Father which hath sent me draw him:
and I will raise him up at the last day
(greek word for draw above; helko = DRAG)

Can you or anyone else
by their own "FREE WILL"
decide to do GOD'S desires?

Phil 2:13
For it is God which worketh in you
both to will and to do of his good pleasure

So, by our own "FREE WILL"
we can't choose Jesus
we can't come to Jesus
we can't even "internally" desire to do either

So, it's our Creator himself
who begins this great work within our very beings

Can we have any confidence in this?

Phil 1:6
Being confident of this very thing ,
that he which begun a good work in you
will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:

Amazing!!
That's like a "FREE GIFT"

Eph 4:7
But unto every one of us is given grace
according to the measure of the gift of Christ
What exactly is this "GIFT" ?

Eph 2:8
For by grace are ye saved through faith;
and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Has every man received this gift of faith?

Rom 12:3
God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith
Is it possible for us to increase our faith?

Rom 10:17
So then faith cometh by hearing,
and hearing by the word of God

So God himself, and the word of God;
are the sources for receiving and increasing our faith

Faith sure is of "great importance" to God!!

Heb 11:6
But without faith it is impossible to please him:
for he that cometh to God must believe that he is,
and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him

So, as it is written;
we must have faith ,
we must believe that God is
we must believe he will reward us

FREE WILL or DOES GOD "FORCE" OUR STEPS?

God never uses the word force,
but He does use words such as "directs" or "guides"

It doesn't take a great deal of energy
for God to make people follow the footsteps
that He has established for them

The SLIGHTEST motivations
in our finances, stomach, social life, egos, etc.,

will easily cause us to go either this way or that way

Of course none of this is of any value
unless we can establish it in God's Word

Notice what God says regarding our "steps"

"...It is NOT IN MAN...to direct his steps..." (Jer10:23)

"A man's heart deviseth his way:
but the Lord DIRECTS HIS STEPS" (Prov16:9)

God could have just as easily said: "...the Lord directs HIS WAY"

"Man's goings (Heb: steps) ARE OF THE LORD:
how can a man then understand HIS OWN WAY?
(it matters not if our steps are good or sinful)" (Prov 20:24)

"For now thou NUMBEREST my steps
(That's pretty specific)
: dost thou NOT watch over my SIN?" (Job 14:16)

"The steps
('steps' is used to symbolize ALL OF MANS DOINGS)
OF A MAN ARE ordered (Heb: established)
by the Lord" (Psa 37:23)

If ALL man's steps are "established",
then of necessity
they are ordered by God IN ADVANCE
of him taking those ordered steps!!!

With this in mind,
Let's take a closer look at man's supposed "FREE WILL"

ELOHIM'S FOREKNOWLEDGE
CONTRADICTS FREE WILL

Phil 2:13
it is God (not man)
which works in you BOTH TO WILL (God causes us ‘to will’)
and TO DO (God causes us ‘to do’)
of His good pleasure" to bring about His intentions

After years of following Jesus daily,
the apostles were not as yet converted

In the evening of the last Passover
Jesus tells Peter:

Luke 22:31-32
"And the Lord said, Simon, Simon,
behold Satan has desired to have you,
that he may sift you as wheat;
But I have prayed for you,
that your faith fall not:
and when you are converted,
strengthen your brethren"

Yes indeed, "when you are converted"

And just when might that be?

Up until the very last day with their Lord,
the apostles all believed that they
possessed the power of free will,
which could enable them to choose
their own destiny, and that they could
and would have the strength of self determinism
and free will to maintain that course

But Jesus told His disciples
that they would all forsake Him

In other words,
Jesus was foretelling of EVENTS that would cause
(even ‘force,’ if you will) them to change their wills,
against their previously stated wills

They of course, all denied
that Jesus knew what He was talking about

Mark 14:27 & Zech 13:7
"And Jesus said unto them,
all ye shall be offended because of Me this night;
for it is written, I shall smite the shepherd,
and the sheep shall be scattered"

The disciples all said
that they would remain loyal
but Jesus said that they would all
be offended because of Him

Was there a reason
for God causing the disciples
to will loyalty to Jesus and then
in the same night to will to deny Jesus?

Does God do anything in vain without a reason?

This was all part of their conversion process!!

God totally humiliated them by proving to them
that their own will was not free
to do what they wanted, but that

Phil. 2:13
"it is God (not man) which works in you
BOTH TO WILL (God causes us ‘to will’)
and TO DO (God causes us ‘to do’)
of His good pleasure"
to bring about His intentions

In just one night God smashed
the presumed "free will" of all the disciples
and they lost confidence in their flesh after that night

There are two things that constantly
oppose and change the will of man,
so that it cannot be said that the will
is free to will its own destiny
for even a day or an hour

What are these two factors
over which man has absolutely
no control whatsoever?

CIRCUMSTANCES
and
GOD’S WILL

CIRCUMSTANCES:
God changes the minds and wills of mankind
around the world, a billion times a minute,
through circumstances that "you know not"
which are actually the cause of your choices
and your changed choices

We are often if not most of the time
completely unaware of what actually
caused us to do or say or think as we do

How did all the disciples will
to remain loyal to Jesus no matter what,
at one moment in time, and in the next moment
they all changed their will to forsake Him?

What changed their wills?
Circumstances!!

One moment they were at ease and safe
in the upper room, and at a later moment
they were in the garden surrounded by Roman Soldiers!

Fear was the circumstance
that caused their (un-free) wills to change

So it was the presence of certain circumstances
that caused the disciples to will as they did

But what caused the circumstances
to be as they were to ensure
that they would will appropriately
to fulfill Christ’s prophecy concerning
their denying and forsaking Him?

GOD’S WILL:
Who was in charge of all these circumstances,
which caused the disciples to change their wills?

Why God, of course

They did not want to change their wills
They did not desire to deny their Lord and Saviour
They did not wish to make liars of themselves
They did not want to be shown to be cowards

Well then, why did they change their wills
if they did not wish to change their wills?

Were they free to not change their wills?
No, they were not free

The fear inside of them caused and made
(and yes, FORCED, if you will) them to change their will

And Jesus Himself told them
that they would change their wills,
so how pray tell could it have been otherwise?

God knew exactly what was needed
to make all of the disciples change their wills

God said that they would change their wills
and forsake Jesus,and God was not about
to be made a liar

Peter did not even know what it was that caused him
to deny Christ until the "cock crew"

In our above example with the disciples,
not only did they change their emphatically
stated will, but, they did so against their stated will

Even when they willed to change their will,
they did so against their original desired will

Peter did not want to deny Christ
but he was made to deny Christ
by the mere fact that the alternative (fear)
was greater than his desire to remain loyal

And so, how was he "free" to remain loyal?
NO he wasn’t

Peter was no more "free" to not deny Jesus
any more than he was "free"
to be loyal in his original choice

Both choices were caused,
and once something is caused to happen,
it could never had been otherwise

Once the cause is set in motion,
the effect must follow

God brought about circumstances that
caused, made, forced, Peter to do
what he didn’t want to do

How then, can such a forced will, be free?

Peter didn't will to deny Jesus,
but he was clearly caused to do so

This is an example of how God causes men
to change their will even when it is against
their initial will to do so

How much easier and unrecognizable
are the millions of choices we make
in which we very willingly make the decisions we do,
because they often appear to be pleasant, profitable,
and desirable choices?

This example
of the disciples forsaking Jesus is so important!!

Can we believe that Jesus
could have told His disciples the following:

"And Jesus said unto them,
All ye shall be offended because of me this night,

but then again,
maybe not all of you will be offended,
seeing that all of you have a free will

Or maybe this to Peter:

"And Jesus said unto him (Peter)
Verily I say unto you, that this day, even in this night,
before the cock crow twice, thou shall deny me thrice,

but then again,
maybe you won’t deny Me three times,
seeing that you have a free will
that does not need to deny me even once

It doesn’t depend on what I say,
or circumstances brought about by my Father,
or what God declares,
but rather on your own "free will"

Sounds a little silly
when we look at it logically doesn’t it?

Yet this is the contention
of those who believe in "free will"

Maybe Peter will,
but then again maybe Peter won’t,

NOT EVEN GOD KNOWS FOR SURE

Almost sounds like blasphemy, doesn’t it?

It is blasphemy to argue that when God
prophesies, states, and intends
that someone do a particular thing,

that the person is still at liberty
because of his supposed free will,
to not do what God has said

Yet this is what the theory of "free will" demands

The fact that God has a foreknowledge of everything
proves that free will is an impossibility,

True "free will" could alter the future
and therefore God could not
have an absolute and true knowledge of the future

Therefore, it is a grave error to state
that man has a free will that is not
"made" or "caused" to do as it does,

and yet state that God knows in advance
the only possible choice that a person must make

How can one believe
that if God states that a person will make choice A,

that he is nonetheless still at liberty to make choice B?

Let me restate that:

Can God say that you WILL make choice A,
but you can make choice B?

Can God say that such and such, WILL happen
but that it doesn’t need to happen?

The disciples WILL forsake and deny Christ,
but they have a free choice NOT to forsake and deny Him?

God knows in advance
that something WILL be a certain way,
and yet it doesn’t have to be that way?

Peter thought he possessed free will:

Matt 26:33
"Peter answered and said unto Him,
Though all men shall be offended because of you,
YET WILL I NEVER BE OFFENDED"

Jesus responded that Peter
had no freedom of the will
to stick by such a statement

"Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee,
That this night, before the cock crow,
YOU SHALL DENY ME thrice" (Ver 34)

Peter again responds
from the throne of his presumed free will
and CORRECTS Jesus to His face:

"Peter said unto Him,
Though I should DIE WITH THEE,
YET WILL I NOT DENY THEE
Likewise also said ALL THE DISCIPLES"
(Ver 35)

And the rest is history

When Peter
was confronted the third time we read this:

Matt 26:74 & 75
"Then began he to curse and to swear,
saying, I KNOW NOT THE MAN
And immediately the cock crew
and he went out, and wept bitterly"

Free will? Where? Give it up!!

What about all of the other disciples
who also thought they possessed this power
of free will and self-determinism?

Matt 26:56
"But all this was done,
that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled
Then ALL THE DISCIPLES FORSOOK HIM, AND FLED"

Free will? FREE will? FREE WILL?
Where?

If you still believe man has a will that is "free"
from external and internal causes, beyond his control,
then your arguments are not with me, but with God’s Word

Now for maybe the most profound
and all-encompassing statements in all Scripture:

Eph 1:11
"In Whom (GOD) also we have obtained
(‘obtained’ not ‘earned’) an inheritance,
being PREDESTINATED
(our ‘destiny’ was ‘pre’ arranged by God, not us)
according to the PURPOSE OF HIM
(not the free will, OF US!)
Who WORKS ALL THINGS (EVERY thing)
AFTER THE COUNSEL OF HIS OWN WILL
(not OUR OWN WILL)

What must I do to be SAVED?

Must I "COME" TO CHRIST,
and then "CHOOSE" CHRIST by my own "free will"?

The Concordant Literal New Testament
is a better translation than the KJV
in the following verse

"Now we are aware that GOD
[the word 'God' is left OUT in the KJV,
but it is IN the Greek manuscripts]

is working all together
for the good of those who are loving God
[but just how does one come to 'love God?' continue...]

who ARE CALLED
[by GOD, not by our so-called 'free' will],

according to the purpose
[God's purpose in calling us]

that, whom He foreknew
[God knew before you were born
whether He could be calling you now, or later]

He designates BEFOREHAND also,
to be conformed to the image of His Son,
for Him to be Firstborn among many brethren

Now whom He designates BEFOREHAND, these HE calls also,
and whom HE calls, these HE justifies also;

now whom HE justifies, these HE glorifies also"(Rom 8:28-30)

It is "HE"-GOD, Who does all these things!!

NOWHERE do we see here
that you must first choose Christ of your own free will,
and ..THEN.. God will do all these other things

NO! GOD, has a purpose and perfect plan!!

GOD does the calling,

GOD conforms and transforms
us into the image of His Son,

GOD justifies us, and

GOD will glorify us also

IT IS ALL GOD!!

And when God does do these things for those He calls,
He also gives them ..FAITH.. to believe these things

"For by GRACE are ye saved through FAITH;
and that [that saving faith] not of yourselves:
IT IS THE GIFT OF GOD" (Eph 2:8)


HOW HARD IS IT GETTING SAVED?

According to the sinners prayer
a person can be saved in about 15 seconds
by saying some specially arranged words

Not so! & Not true!!

Getting Saved is the hardest most difficult thing
anyone will ever have to go through in their entire lifetime

Being saved is a lifetime process!!

Just as we are in a lifetime process
of being made into the image of God-
Both are on-going processes!!

Many times people use the following texts
to prove that they are indeed saved

If you believe on the Lord you shall be saved
If you call upon the name of the Lord you shall be saved
If you get Baptized in the name of the lord you shall be saved
If you go through Jesus the door you shall be saved
If you receive Grace through Faith you shall be saved

Now, follow me on this

After you have done one, two, or all of the above
are you finally really and truly saved?

Wait, I forgot one more:

1Cor 1:21
For after that in the wisdom of God
the world by wisdom knew not God,
it pleased God
by the foolishness of preaching
to save them that believe

Do you have to do all the above
and then on top of that-
Listen to the foolishness of my preaching
to finally reach that status of being saved?

My friends the one and only
evidence that you are truly saved-
will be when you come forth
at the first resurrection

John 6:39
And this is the Father's will which hath sent me,
that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing,
but should raise it up again AT THE LAST DAY

John 6:40
And this is the will of him that sent me,
that every one which seeth the Son,
and believeth on him, may have everlasting life:
and I will raise him up AT THE LAST DAY

John 6:44
No man can come to me,
except the Father which hath sent me draw him:
and I will raise him up AT THE LAST DAY

John 6:54
Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood,
hath eternal life; and I will raise him up AT THE LAST DAY

John 11:24
Martha saith unto him,
I know that he shall rise again
in the resurrection AT THE LAST DAY

We are in the on-going process
of being saved and made into the image of God

The completion of this process
will not take place until you rise
at the first resurrection-AT THE LAST DAY!!

Mat 24:13
But he that shall endure
UNTO THE END, the same shall be SAVED

God has a perfect purpose and a plan
and he will accomplish his "WILL" ...which is:

1Tim 2:4
Who will (eventually)have ALL men to be saved,
and to (eventually) come unto the knowledge of the truth

You can not take the next verse
and make a teaching of it alone
as no scripture is of private
or ones own interpretation

The scripture following it;
will explain the true meaning of the first verse
that so many people quickly use to defend
their salvation as being an already done deal

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

Luke 6:46
And why call ye me, Lord, Lord,
and do not the things which I say?

In other words:
If you are going to
call on me- the Lord and- call me Lord
then- YOU'VE GOT YO DO WHAT I SAY!!
 
You have to believe on the Son
and the TESTIMONY that God gave to his Son

1Jonn 5:9
If we receive the witness of men,
the witness of God is greater:
for this is the witness of God
which he hath TESTIFIED of his Son

1John 5:10
He that believeth on the Son of God
hath the witness in himself:
he that believeth not God hath made him a liar;
because he believeth not
THE RECORD THAT GOD GAVE HIS SON

1John 5:11
And THIS IS THE RECORD, that God
hath given to us eternal life,
and this life is in his Son

1John 5:12
He that hath the Son hath life;
and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life

1John 5:13
These things have I written unto you
that believe on the name of the Son of God;
that ye may know that ye have eternal life,
and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God

So you must-
Believe in and call
upon the name of the Lord

Do the things he says

Believe on the TESTIMONY
God gave of his Son
 
What is the TESTIMONY
that GOD GAVE TO HIS SON?

Rev 1:1
The Revelation of Jesus Christ,
which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants
things which must shortly come to pass;
and he sent and signified it by his angel
unto his servant John:

Rev 1:2
Who bare RECORD of the word of God,
and of the TESTIMONY of Jesus Christ,

There it is!!

The TESTIMONY that God gave to his Son
is the Book of Revelations

It's no wonder that we are sternly warned
that no one is to add or take away from this book


REPENTANCE ... a deeper look

When the sun is shining-
there is light and it is warm and dry

When the sun goes down
it gets darker, colder

and towards the morning
the earth become damp with dew

Would it then, be true to say:

The sun is the cause
of darkness cold and dampness?

This may sound right-
but it is not correct

The sun did not cause these things

These thing are automatically there

It is when the sun comes up;
that these things are taken away

Likewise...

When God removes
his beams of light from mankind
they become dark and cold and damp

God is NOT the cause of those things!!

Those things are automatically there-
due to sin being in the world

When the sun is on one side of the earth

God doesn't have to supernaturally
make the other side dark-

It's automatic!!

and likewise;

God does not have to force anyone to sin

It's automatic!!

It is our "nature"
to be sinning machines
with masses of sin are within us

Let's go deeper

James 2:10
For whosoever shall keep the whole law,
and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all

The above doesn't say
if you broke one of these laws
that you have broke them all-

but that you are guilty of all

This is why we really need to deeply repent always!!

Remember Christ came to magnify the law
and thus made the Law a much higher and Spiritual law

Committing adultery is sin-

yet Christ taught a much higher spiritual message
that even thought of committing adultery was sin

Think for a minute-
of a sin that you consider
to be one of the most despicable of sins

When that person committed that sin;
was he not also guilty of ALL the law?

I didn't say he broke ALL the other laws
but that he is indeed guilty of ALL

Likewise if you break one of these laws
you also would be guilty of ALL

I didn't say you would ever commit the
same despicable sin you thought about-

but that even in a sin you did commit
you are just as guilty of ALL

including the one you judged as so despicable!!

Rom 2:1
Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man,
whosoever thou art that judgest:
for wherein thou judgest another,
thou condemnest thyself;
for thou that judgest doest the same things

Rom 2:3
And thinkest thou this, O man,
that judgest them which do such things,
and doest the same, that thou shalt
escape the judgment of God?

This is how serious sin is to God!!

We may haven't literally committed the despicable sin
but any sin we do commit accounts us
just as guilty of any and ALL sins that are possible

God makes vessles of honor and dishonor

Most of us were blessed by God-
being made NOT to travel down
such a dark alley of despicable sin

May we stop judging the sins of others
and spend more time repenting for our own
