Statement of Faith

God: is ONE and there is no other (Deut. 4:35; 4:39; 6:4; 1 Kings 8:60; Neh, 9:6; Isa. 37:20; Zech. 14:9; Matt. 23:8; Mk. 12:29; Jn. 10:30; Ro. 3:30; 1 Co. 8:4; Eph. 4:4-6; 1 Tim. 2:5; Jas. 2:19). The Divine nature consists in ONE essence of three recognizable Persons, termed, the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. (Matt. 3:16-17; 28:19; Mk. 1:10-11; Lk. 1:35; 3:22; Jn. 1:32; 2 Co. 13:14; 1 Jn. 5:7). In infinite unity the Godhead exists indivisible, in ONE motion, continually equal in energy. 'In the beginning', Jesus Christ Co-existed with the Father 'before the world was', and therefore must be an UN-created Being of the same Eternal essence as the Father (Gen. 1:26-27; Jn. 1:1-5; 17:5; Col. 1:15-17; Heb. 1:8). Because the Logos (Jesus Christ) was UN-originated, before all things, created all things and upholds all things, He must necessarily and definitely be the eternal God and ONE with the Father (Gen. 1:1; Isa. 9:6; Jn. 1:1-5; Jn. 8:58; 10:30; Col. 1:15-17; 2:9; 1 Tim. 2:5; 3:16; Heb. 1:8; 1 Jn. 5:20). The Logos (Jesus Christ) is said to have been IN the bosom of the Father 'in the beginning', which establishes, 'the Logos was with God, and the Logos was God' (Jn. 1:1). Therefore, we affirm Jesus Christ is the Creator of the universe and dismiss the concept that He created the world by delegation or through a transfer of Omnipotence (Gen. 1:1; Jn. 1:1-5). Thus, we affirm the Holy (undivided) Trinity and believe in the full Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Jesus Christ: is God manifested in the flesh (1 Tim. 3:16). He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary (not in order to avoid 'original sin'), but as a SIGN to the Jews that He was of God (Isa. 7:14; Matt. 1:20; Lk. 1:35). The Lords' human nature consists of the same flesh and blood as we have and He has been tempted in all points as we are. (Matt. 4:1-11; Jn. 1:14; Ro. 8:3; Php. 2:7-8; Heb. 2:14; 2:17; 4:15; 2 Jn. 7). As the God-man, He is referenced as the 'Son of God' and therefore inferior to the Father, however, this is strictly referring to Jesus human nature (flesh) as His Divine nature had NO beginning and equally resided with God from all eternity. (Mk. 13:32; 14:28; Jn. 1:1-5; 1:14; 5:19; Ro. 9:5; Col. 1:16-18; Phil. 2:6-8; Heb. 1:8). As the 'Lamb of God', Jesus Christ died on a cross to REDEEM mankind (Jew and Gentile) from the corrupting influence of sin by His Blood, while simultaneously leaving us an example and instructions to 'follow in His footsteps' (Pro. 8:20; Matt. 1:21; Jn. 1:29; 3:14-18; 12:32; 13:15; Ro. 5:6; 1 Co. 11:1; 2 Co. 5:14-15; Eph. 5:1; 1 Tim. 2:3-6; Heb. 9:14; 9:22; 10:10; 1 Pet. 2:21; Tts. 2:11-12; 2 Pe. 1:3-4; 1 Jn. 2:2; 2:6). The death of Christ was succeeded by His burial, resurrection and ascension to the right hand of the Father where He resides as our great High Priest. (Lk. 22:66-70; Acts 1:9; 2:33; 5:31; 7:56; Ro. 8:34; 1 Co. 15:3-4; Col. 3:1; Heb. 10:12; 12:2; 1 Pe. 3:22). Jesus Christ will be returning to judge the world in righteousness. (Psa. 9:8; 96:10; 96:13; 98:9; Matt. 7:21-23; 16:27; 25:31-46; Jn. 5:29; 16:8; Acts 17:30-31; Ro. 2:7-8; 2 Thess. 1:8-9; Rev. 22:12).

Man: is created in the image of God at the moment of conception in an amoral state. (Gen. 1:26-27; 9:6; Num. 16:22; 2 Kng. 21:16; 24:4; Psa. 139: 13-14; Ecc. 7:29; 12:7; Isa. 42:5; 57:16; Jer. 1:5; Eze.18:4; Joel. 3:19; Zech. 12:1; Ro. 9:11; 1 Co. 11:7; Heb.12:9; Jas. 3:9). Only the physical body is derived from Adam and Eve which is now subject to death and disease. (Gen. 1:21; 3:22; 1 Co. 15:21-22; 15:38-39; Heb. 2:14).

The guilt of the first parents is NOT imputed to their physical offspring.. (Deu. 24:16; 2 Kngs 14:6; 2 Chron. 25:4; Ezk. 18:2-4; 18:19-20; Jer. 31:29-30). Man retains an aspect of light (conscience) upon coming into the world and has natural ability to select vice or virtue; APART from Divine coercion because he is endowed with the gift of free will by his Creator. (Gen. 4:6-7; Deut. 30:11; 30:19; Isa. 1:16-20; Ezk. 18:30-32; Jer. 18:11; Matt. 23:37; Lk. 6:46; Jn. 1:9; 16:8; Acts. 5:32; 17:30; Ro. 1:18-21; 2:12-16; 6:17; 2 Co. 7:1; 2 Tim. 2:21; Jas. 4:7-10; 1 Pe. 1:22; Rev. 22:17) Man corrupts himself and becomes 'dead in sin' by choice when he personally and consciously commits iniquity. (Gen. 6:12; 8:2; Deut. 32:5; Jdg. 2:19; Isa. 7:15-16; 59:2; Ezk. 18:19-20; Lk. 15:24; 15:32; Ro. 2:7-8; 3:23; 5:12; 6:23; Eph. 2:1-3; Col. 1:21; Jas. 4:17; 1 Pe. 1:18; Jude 10; 1 Jn. 3:4). Sinful man is an enemy, abhorred and detested by God. (Psa. 5:6; 6:8; 7:11; 11:5; Matt. 16:23; Ro. 3:10-18; 5:10; 8:5-8; Col. 1:21; Eph. 2:3; Jas. 4:4; 1 Jn. 2:15-16). Man is destined to the UN-quenchable 'lake which burns with fire and brimstone', unless he repents of sin and is reconciled to God through the Blood of Jesus Christ. (Matt. 3:12; 5:22; 5:29-30; 7:19; 7:23; 25:41; Mk. 9:42-48; 10:42-28; Lk. 3:9; 13:3; 16:19-31; 2 Thess. 1:8-9; Rev. 21:8).

Sin: is transgression of perceived moral law and NOT imputed until knowledge is obtained. (Deut. 1:39; Isa. 7:15-16; Matt. 22:37-41; Jn. 9:41; Ro. 2:14-15; 5:13; 13:8-10; Jas. 4:17; 1 Jn. 3:4). Desire must unite with the will BEFORE sin can be conceived in the heart and transgression of law originates with the INTENTIONALITY and motives of the will. (Gen. 3:6; 1 Sam. 16:7; Pro. 23:7; Matt. 5:28; 23:26; Mk. 7:20-23; Ro. 14:23; 1 Co. 8:12; 10:13; Gal. 5:24; Jas. 1:13-16; 1 Jn. 2:15-16; 3:15). Temptation is NOT sin. (Matt. 4:1; Heb. 2:18; 4:15), But ALL unrighteousness is sin. (1 Jn. 5:17). Good rewards, chastisements and punishments are results of ones own actions and properly charged according to ability and moral light received. (Matt. 11:21-22; 25:15; Mk. 12:40; Lk. 10:27; Jn. 1:9; 9:41; 15:22; 1 Co. 10:13; 2 Co. 5:10; Heb. 10:26; 12:3-11; 2 Pe. 2:21; 1 Jn. 1:5-7). Woe to those who VIOLATE much Spiritual enlightenment, for they have the GREATER sin and shall receive the GREATER condemnation. (Matt. 23:14; Lk. 12:47-48; Jn.19:11; Jas. 3:1; Heb. 6:6; 10:26). There is sin which is NOT unto death. (1Jn. 5:16-17), While there is Eternal sin which shall NEVER be forgiven. (Matt. 12:31-32; Mk. 3:29). Let NO one deceive you with empty words, the UN-righteous will NOT inherit the kingdom of God (1 Co. 6:9-10; Gal. 5:19-21; Eph. 5:5-7; Rev. 21:7-8; 22:15). An example of this is King David and the Apostle Peter, who both committed sins which resulted in them being disqualified from the Kingdom until they repented and were cleared of their wrong doing. (Psa. 51; Matt. 26:75; 2 Co. 7:10-11). Suppression of truth and willful sin in genuine believers is VERY dangerous and holds eternal consequences. (Matt. 25:45-51; Lk. 12:42-28; Jn. 1:9; Ro. 1:18-21; Col. 3:25; 2 Co. 13:6; 2 Thess. 1:8-9; Heb. 12:6; 10:26-31; Jas. 1:7-8; 4:8; 2 Pe. 2:20-22; Rev. 2:5; 3:19).

Repentance: is granted and commanded by God to ALL men everywhere. (Acts 5:31; 11:18; 17:30-31; 20:21; 26:20; Ro. 2:4; 2 Ti. 2:25; 2 Pe. 3:9). (Repentance is NOT an apology for being sinful!) The process of repentance is to sweep, scrape, scrub and cast out of doors all defilement of the heart IN ORDER to make it clean for the reception of the Holy Spirit. (Matt. 12:43-45; Lk. 11:24-26). Repentance is a change of mind, inclinations and desires, which translates into a total change in character and conduct. (Mt. 3:8; Mk. 4:12; Lk. 8:15; Jn. 8:34; 8:36; Lk. 19:1-10; Acts 26:20; 2 Co. 6:1; 5:17; 1 Thess. 1:9; 2 Tim. 2:19; Tts. 2:11-12). Genuine repentance is initiated by God through a crisis of conviction leading to a season of godly sorrow for sin. (Jn. 16:8; Acts 2:37; 4:8-10; 5:31; 11:18; 2 Co. 7:10). The DESIGN of Bible repentance from Genesis to Revelation is clearly, ‘forsake’ your wickedness, ‘purge’ your heart of evil and SEEK the Mercy of God. (Isa. 55:7; Jer. 26:13; Pro. 28:13; Jon. 3:8-10; Matt. 12:41; Lk. 15:11-32; Acts 3:19; 2 Co. 7:10-11; 2 Tim. 2:19; Jas. 3:7-10; 1 Pe. 4:1; Rev. 2:5; 2:16; 2:20-22; 3:3; 3:19)! In repentance ALL filthiness and overflow of wickedness is 'laid aside' and in meekness is the Implanted Word received. (Lk. 8:11-15; Jas. 1:21; 4:6; 1 Pe. 5:5-6). The passions and desires of the flesh are crucified (Ro. 6:6; Gal. 5:24). (This happens in Repentance, not afterward. It’s done once for all NOT to be repeated!) Old things pass away and all things become new. (Ro. 2:29; 6:4-6; 12:1-2; 2 Co. 5:17; Eph. 4:22-24; Col. 2:11-12; 3:5). All KNOWN sins of the flesh have ceased. (Pro. 28:13; Isa. 55:7; Jer. 26:13; Ezk. 18:21-23; Jon. 3:8-10; 1 Co. 6:9-10; Gal. 5:19-21; Eph. 5:5-7; Jas. 1:21; 1 Pe. 4:1; Rev. 21:7-8; 22:15). To dismiss Scriptural repentance is to nullify reconciliation with God and without conversion there is no Divine forgiveness. (Lk. 13:3; 24:47; Mk. 4:12; Acts 3:19; 2 Co. 7:10). Genuine Repentance is a condition for salvation. (Mk. 1:15; Lk. 13:3; Acts 5:31; 11:18; 17:30; 20:21; Ro. 2:4; 2 Co. 7:10; 2 Pe. 3:9).

Faith: is NOT passive and originates IN real repentance. (that includes godly sorrow for sin and a clearing of wrong doing). Faith lays a hold of Eternal Life. (1 Tim. 6:12). Works by love. (Gal. 5:6). Establishes and upholds the law. (Ro. 3:31). Purifies the heart of sin. (Acts 15:9; 1 Pe. 1:22; 1 Jn. 3:8). Fulfills the righteous requirements of God by walking in the Spirit. (Ro. 8:1-4; Gal. 5:16). And overcomes the world, flesh and the devil. (1 Jn. 5:4). Faith and obedience are synonymous actions one does NOT follow the other. (Acts 5:32; Ro. 1:5; 2:13; 6:16-17; 16:26; Heb. 3:14; 5:9; 11:1; 11:8; Jas. 1:22; 1 Pe. 1:22; 1 Jn. 5:3; Rev. 22:14).To believe is to obey and to obey is to believe. (Matt. 7:24-27; Lk. 6:46; Jn. 3:36; Ro. 2:7-8; 10:16; 2 Thess. 1:8; Heb. 11:6; Jas. 2:19; 2:24). Faith obeys from the heart and endures to the end. (Acts 5:32; Ro. 6:17; Heb. 5:9). Faith is a WORK of power which produces fruitful substance and evidence. (Jn. 8:39; 15:1-6; Gal. 5:6; 1 Thess. 1:3; 2 Thess. 1:11; Heb. 11:1; 1 Jn. 2:3-6; 3:7). Faith is reckoned, accounted, credited and imputed for righteousness, while faith APART from deeds is DEAD. (Lk. 6:46; Ro. 2:13; 4:3; 4:18-22; Gal. 3:6; 1 Tim. 1:5; Jas. 2:14-26). We have access into grace and are justified by faith, but we can fall from grace and 'suffer shipwreck' according to the faith. (Ro. 5:1-2; Gal. 5:4; 1 Tim. 1:18-20; Tts. 3:7). By faith we CONTINUALLY 'hold fast', 'dig deep', and 'strive to enter through the narrow gate'. (Matt. 10:22; Lk. 6:46-49; 13:24; 1 Co. 15:1-2; Col. 1:23). By faith we trust in, rely on and cling to Jesus and follow the example of Christ. (Pro. 8:20; Jn. 13:15; Ro. 6:16; 6:19; 1 Co. 11:1; Php. 3:17; 2 Thess. 3:9; Eph. 5:1; 1 Pe. 2:21; Tts. 2:11-12; 1 Jn. 2:29; 3:7). Faith is a condition for salvation. (Mk. 1:15; Jn. 3:16; 3:36; 6:47; Acts 20:21; Ro. 6:17; 10:9-10).

Grace: teaches us to deny ungodliness and worldly lusts and to live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age. (Tts. 2:11-12). Grace is the GROUNDS of our justification. (Jn. 1:29; Ro. 3:24-25; Tts. 3:7; Heb. 9:22). Grace is wholly based on Jesus Christ death, Blood and resurrection. (Isa. 53:10; Lk. 24:46-47; Jn. 14:6; Ro. 6:14; 1 Co. 15:3-4; Eph. 2:8-9; Col. 1:14; Heb. 9:13-14; 10:10). Only the Blood of Christ redeems man from the corrupting influence of sin and allows God to pass over sins that were PREVIOUSLY committed. (Lev. 17:11; Ro. 3:25; Eph. 1:7; 2 Pe. 1:9). Jesus gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works. (Tts. 2:14; 1 Pe. 2:9). By grace we are saved, but from Divine favor we can fall and forfeit our salvation. (Eph. 2:8-9; Gal. 5:4). Grace is God's merciful kindness by which He applies His holy influence ("unction") upon souls, turns them to Christ, keeps, strengthens, increases them in Christian faith, knowledge, affection, and kindles them to the exercise of the Christian virtues. (Jn. 14:21; 16:13; 1 Pe. 1:5; 2 Pe. 1:3-4; 1 Jn. 2:27; Jude 21,24). We receive grace FOR obedience to the faith, but grace can be received IN vain. (Ro. 1:5; 2 Co. 6:1). You must build yourself up in your most holy faith and keep yourself in the love of God. (1 Jn. 5:18; Jude 20-22). Under the New Covenant, man continues to reap what he sows and will be judged according to the deeds done in the body whether good or bad. (Jn. 5:29; 16:27; Ro. 2:6-8; 14:10; 2 Co. 5:10; Gal. 6:7-9; 2 Thes. 1:7-8; 1 Pe. 1:17; Rev. 22:12).

Salvation: Salvation cannot be found in a repeat after me, raise thy hand, or the famous 'Sinners Prayer'. (Jh9:31) The Bible declares that FEW shall find Eternal Life and many will not (Matt. 7:13-14). The WAY is difficult and wrought with danger! What is being passed off as Salvation in the present day Churches is nothing short of blasphemy and saving NO one! According to the Bible, genuine Salvation is through Jesus Christ and is found in NO other. (Jn. 14:6; Acts 4:12). Jesus taught His followers to STRIVE to enter through the narrow gate, dig deep, count the cost, build off the Rock, hold fast, put your hand in the plow and don't look back, deny yourself, take up your cross and follow Him daily. (Matt. 7:24-27; 10:38; Lk. 6:46-49; 9:23; 9:62; 13:24; 14:25-33). The Scripture is loaded with dire WARNINGS to aid genuine believers along the narrow way, however, ignore them and you will return to your wallowing in the mire.(2 Pe. 2:18-20). Become deceived and fall away. (1 Tim. 4:3-4; 2 Pe. 3:17). Get entangled in worldly lust and forfeit salvation through acts of sin. (Matt. 13:21; Lk. 8:13; Jn. 6:66; Ro. 6:23; 8:13; 1 Co. 6:9-10; Gal. 5:2-4; 2 Pe. 2:20-22; 1 Jn. 2:15-16). Forget you were cleansed from old sins. (2 Pe. 1:9). Turn aside to idle talk. (1 Tim. 1:6). Fail to make your call and election sure. (2 Pe. 1:10). Become disqualified (2 Co. 13:5) Castaway (1 Co. 9:27) Reprobate (Ro. 1:28; Tts. 1:16). Get choked out and believe for a while. (Lk. 8:12-14). Cease to do good in patience continuance (STEADFAST ENDURANCE) and grow weary and lose hope. (Ro. 2:7-8; Gal. 6:7-9; 2 Pe. 1:3-11). Become devoured by the roaring lion. (1 Pe. 5:8-9). Turn grace into a license for immorality. (Jude 4). Be duped by the spirit of error. (1 Jn. 4:6) Suffer shipwreck (1 Tim. 1:18-20). Fail to abide in Christ and consequently be cut off by God, be cast forth as a branch, WITHER, be thrown into the fire and burned. (Jn. 15:1-6; Ro. 11:22).

The Bible declares Christ Blood will present you holy, blameless, and above reproach in God's sight IF you indeed CONTINUE in the faith, grounded and steadfast and are NOT moved away from the hope of the Gospel. (Acts 1:25; 11:23; 13:43; 14:22; Ro. 11:20-23; 1 Co. 10:5-13; 15:1-2; Phili. 2:12; Col. 1:23; 1 Thess. 1:23; 3:5; 3:8; 2 Thess. 1:8; 2:3; 1 Tim. 3:6; 4:16; 2 Tim. 2:12; 4:9-10). Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the Gospel which I preached to you, which you also received and in which you stand, by which you are saved, IF you hold fast that word I preached you, unless you believe IN vain. (1 Co. 15:1-2). You must ENDURE to the end to be saved. (Matt. 6:14-15; 10:22; Mk. 13:13, 22; Jn. 8:31; 15:6). Final salvation is conditioned upon perseverance. (Heb. 2:1; 2:3; 3:6; 3:8-15; 3:18-19; 10:26-31; 12:14-15; Jas. 5:19-20; 1 Pe. 1:22; 5:8-9; 2 Pe. 3:17; 1 Jn. 1:5; 3:5; Jude 1:21; Rev. 2:4-7; 2:10-11; 2:17; 3:16; 21:8; 22:15). Eternal Life is a hope, yet to be reaped. (Gal. 6:7-9; Tts. 1:2; 3:7). The Sacred Writings direct Christians to 'let God be true and every man a liar', while continually beseeching Believers of the 'error of the wicked'. (Matt. 24:24; Mk. 13:5; Ro. 3:4; 16:18; Eph. 4:14; 5:6; 2 Thess. 2:3; 2 Pe. 3:17; 1 Jn. 3:7). The good news of the Gospel is man can be reconciled to God by repentance proven by deeds and faith working by love. (Matt. 3:8; Acts 11:18; 17:30; 20:21; 26:20; 2 Co. 5:20; Gal. 5:6).

Baptism: by submersion does NOT purge away sin from the heart of man. (Matt. 23:26; Mk. 7:20-23; Acts 15:9; Heb. 1:3; 1 Pe. 1:22). The Bible declares ONLY the Blood of Christ has the POWER to truly cleanse the soul from the corrupting influence of sin and deliver believers from the evil of this present age. (Matt. 20:28; Jn. 8:36; Ro. 3:24-25; 6:14; Gal. 1:4; Eph. 1:7; Tts. 2:14; Heb. 9:14; 2 Pe. 1:4; 1 Jn. 1:7; Rev. 1:5). The water in baptism merely represents a consecration and a witness to the world that you have ALREADY been born into the family of God. (Lk. 24:47; Mk. 4:12; Acts 20:28; 26:18; Ro. 8:16; 2 Co. 5:18; Col. 1:20; 1 Pe. 2:9; 1 Jn. 3:9). The Bible confirms the Holy Spirit was initially poured out on the Jewish disciples (On the Day of Pentecost) APART from immersion (Acts 2:1-4). Cornelius and the Gentiles were baptized with the Holy Spirit and received remission of sins BEFORE they were submerged in water. (10:44-48). Man's heart is cleansed, washed and sanctified by 'the washing of the water BY the WORD'. (Jn. 3:5; 15:3; 17:17; Eph. 5:26; Tts. 3:5). Man becomes 'born again' ONLY through the WORD of God (Jesus Christ) which lives and abides forever. (Matt. 7:24-27; Lk. 8:11-15; Jn. 14:6; Acts 4:12; Ro. 10:17; Jas. 1:21-22; 1 Pe. 1:23). Because God looks on the HEART (rather than the outward appearance), an authentic baptism must be preceded by the circumcision made WITHOUT hands through a genuine death to SELF in repentance. (1 Sam. 16:7; Mk. 1:4; Lk. 3:3; Acts 13:24; 19:2; Ro. 2:29; Ro. 6:3-7; 13:14; Col. 2:11-12; Gal. 3:27; 5:24). In Christ you rise to newness of life and become a NEW man, (babe) teachable, and led by the Spirit of truth. (Jn. 14:16; 16:13; Ro. 12:2; 8:29; Eph. 2:10; 4:22; Col. 3: 8-11; Tts. 2:14; 1 Pe. 2:1-3; 1 Jn. 2:27). Then (and only then) can you GROW, mature and overcome the world, flesh and devil by faith. (Jas. 1:13-16; 1 Pe. 2: 5-11; 1 Jn. 2:15-16; 5:4; Rev. 2:10). ONLY true believers (washed CLEAN in the Blood of Christ by repentance) are to be baptized into the faith (Acts 20:21; Ro. 6:4-6; Col. 1:14; Rev. 1:5). According to Church Tradition, the following methods of baptism are legit and to be accepted by Christians: In living (running) water (whether it be hot or cold), or by pouring water on thy head three times. Genuine converts should seek to be WATER baptized once they have been reconciled to God through genuine repentance and faith. (Acts 20:21).

Original Sin: is the principal notion in which the majority of modern day theology is supported. Understanding the origins of the doctrine of original sin is key in unraveling the theological mess in present day Christianity. This doctrine was blended into Christian teaching in third-forth century Rome. (NOT the Reformation!) There were several players involved and many theories expounded. Up to that time the free will of man was a given in Christian teaching. This is confirmed in the Scriptures and clearly stated in early Christian writings passed down by second generation disciples.

The original sin Doctrine implies that Adam and Eve’s guilty consciences and wicked natures have been transmitted to their posterity, descending from them by ordinary generation. Thus Adams’ sin has been ‘imputed’ automatically to his descendants. (with the exception of Jesus of course) His fall from Grace resulted in the entire human race being utterly inclined toward evil. Mankind in his natural state is entirely disabled, opposite of all good and ferociously wicked to the core. Thus man is subject to punishment and death for Adam’s (original) sin. He sins by necessity, NOT by choice and is born DEAD in his sins.

Basically this doctrine is divided into two major camps of thought. Namely: Traducianism and Creationism. Traducianism teaches that the immaterial aspect of the (soul) is transmitted through nature generation along with the body. (material aspect of man) Meaning that each soul born is derived (not directly from God!) but DIRECTLY from the souls or (loins) of the parents. Therefore all souls were ‘in Adam’ at the time of his creation by God. (God retired from the soul creating business after Adam so to speak) Adam is the ‘Natural Head’ of the entire human race by which the rest of us sprang by natural generation. (all infected by his original sin) This is one early theory expounded in ancient times, but seldom embraced today.

Creationism on the other hand teaches that God creates EACH soul individually for each body that is generated. (This is supported a hundred fold in the Scriptures!) Adam then was our representative and entered into a ‘Covenant’ agreement with God, (which cannot be found anywhere in scripture.) on condition of his continued obedience in the garden. Thus the penalty for violating this covenant would be Adam’s corruption and death (separation from God) and that of his posterity. Since the fall of Adam this sentence of condemnation causes God to immediately ‘impute’ each soul He creates with Adam’s sin and depraved nature. This is called the: Federal Headship Theory and is the basics of all reformed theology since the reformation.

If the Jewish Rabbis did not teach the doctrine of original sin nor the early Christians who followed the Apostles, WHERE did it come from? Paul certainly did not teach it in Romans chapter 5, as is generally accepted by almost all modern scholars. Otherwise his disciples (who wrote extensively) would have expounded on it!) On the Contrary they spoke against such teaching mainly because it is a GNOSTIC myth! The Gnostics were prevalent in the Roman Empire during the second-third and forth centuries and their teaching spread like wild fire through the populace by a cult named the Manicheans.

Inevitably Manichean teaching became blended into Christianity as a result of MANY devote followers of the so-called Prophet: Mani (AD 210–276) considering themselves ‘Christians’ because of their austere life styles. One prominent person in Rome at the time who followed this teaching was AUGUSTINE of Hippo. Although he is heralded in Christianity as one of the greatest theologians of all time, it is through his efforts that the doctrine of original sin is engrained into main-stream teaching to this day and has thus rendered the preaching of real repentance and faith null and void. Augustine concluded in his writings and teaching that Adams’s sin (in the garden) is physically transmitted and genetically derived from parent to child through the concupiscence (lust) that accompanies sexual reproduction. For that reason the infection of Adam’s sin is passed down through ‘sexual intercourse’ to the entire human race. (expect for Jesus, who was born of Immaculate conception.)

Before you can even begin to unravel this mess and understand what the Bible really teaches concerning repentance and faith, you MUST grasp the impact of this doctrine on the nature of God. Augustine was a FALSE TEACHER! If you fail to see this in its proper light, you will remain in the dark concerning these things and none of this will make any sense to you. Clearly he converted to Christianity out of necessity (from Manichaeism) in 387AD, because of a royal edict by the Emperor who outlawed Manichaeism teaching in Rome. Because of his background in Gnostic teaching and influence of certain other Bishops he immediately began to BLEND this teaching into Christian thought. Augustine was highly educated and a professor of rhetoric at a very early age, which gave him access to the high courts of Rome and entrance into high powered society.

Basically Gnostic/ Manichean teach a DUAL NATURE of man. (Christian doctrine has NEVER taught this!) One side is a world of light, good and virtuous. The other (material world) is of darkness or inherently evil. Each world is presided over by a god. Everything material (man’s flesh) is evil by nature from birth and drawn only toward sin. Only the immaterial soul is the light, pure and undefiled. Sins of the flesh cause the pure soul to be imprisoned in a corrupted body. Their way out was the hope of the re-incarnation cycle to move them closer to salvation. They also embraced ‘election’.

Hence, you have the teaching embraced by Christian doctrine of the ‘sinful nature’, as taught in all the Churches today. Man in his converted (Born Again) state remains the ‘Chief of sinners’ and ‘Roman’s wretch’. The old man is NOT crucified with Christ in repentance (where the sin stops!) but by a process of sanctification or by simple imputation. (the moral transfer of Jesus Righteousness and obedience to the believer) This teaching is the PERFECT excuse for men to remain in bondage to sin and not be condemned by God. The fear of judgment for ungodly conduct is eliminated entirely! Augustine (who himself had a huge problem with sexual lust) LOVED this doctrine and expounded on it in his writings significantly. Consequently his influence has spread through the ages and planted the seeds of Calvinist-Lutheran heresy in the 1500’s and framed main-stream reformed theology to this day. (all this can be easily confirmed by some historical research, ie: History of the Church 1 Henry Chadwick)

What this doctrine boils down to is the elimination of free will. If man is born, already imputed with Adam’s sin by reason of his birth, he no longer has a CHOICE but becomes a sinner by NECESSITY. His sin is a malady over which he has absolutely no control whatsoever. Humans are born incapable of doing anything good without the ‘gracious influence’ of Divine Grace bestowed randomly as God wills on certain individuals. By rejecting this concept the house of cards that supports all the other doctrinal fallacies immediately crumbles. Original sin necessitates election, moral transfer, pre-forgiveness of sins, limited Atonement, irresistible grace and eternal security! ALL of which make it IMPOSSIBLE for man to turn to God, truly repent of his sins (be cleared of his wrong doing!) and be purged by the Blood of Christ and made pure by faith working by love!

Much of the foundation of these false doctrines can be traced directly back to Augustine. Failure to see this is the main reason most people in the Churches remain in bondage to sin and blinded by lies. History clearly shows that this 'dual nature' teaching was blended into Christian doctrine in forth Century Rome and Augustine was one of the major players in promoting it. He wrote huge volumes advocating just war, the Church militant on earth and the dual nature of man. They are studied considerably in modern seminaries and sold in Christian book stores. Any teaching that exposes these things as false is suppressed, difficult to find and highly suspect of error among today’s so-called scholars. (but you can find them at on-line book sellers) The ‘sinful nature’ teaching has also infected many modern translations of the Bible including the New International Version, which translates the word ‘flesh’ (SARX 4561) to: ‘sinful nature’ in Romans, but NOT in other passages such as in 1st and 2nd John.

There are two main New Testament passages that are used by those who have embraced the Augustinian Tradition in order to provide a measure of support and to prove there beloved theory of original sin. They are as follows:

"For since by man came death, by Man also came the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive" (1 Co. 15:21-22).

This passage is used to support the representation theory that ALL (spiritually and physically) die due to the transmission of Adam's original sin. However, this passage is strictly speaking of physical death, being the context is referencing the future (physical) resurrection of the dead (1 Co. 15). Hence, "even so in Christ all SHALL BE (future) made alive". According to Paul, physical death is a consequence springing from the man (Adam), just as a glorified body shall come in the future through the Man, Jesus Christ. Now, how is it man dies on an account of Adam's sin? I believe Adam was created mortal, that is, flesh and blood (Gen. 2:7; 3:19; 1 Co. 15:45-50). Through his personal act of disobedience he lost for himself (and descendants) physical access to the "Tree of Life" which he (and we) must eat from to "live forever" (Gen. 3:22). As follows, man physically dies due to being separated from this tree, but can regain physical access to its fruit (in the future) through Jesus Christ (Rev. 22:14).

"Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned" (Ro. 5:12).

Clearly, this passage is speaking of personal sin by imitation ('because all sinned') rather than inherited sin through imputation (Gen. 2:17; Ro. 5:12). In fact, Paul reports there were some individuals who lived after Adam, who sinned NOT according to the "likeness" of his original transgression (Ro. 5:14)! As follows, sin is not a physical substance that is inbred in your flesh, rather, sinfulness is a result of living out aimless conduct received by tradition (or long practiced habit) from your fathers. (1 Pe. 1:18). Therefore, just as through one man (Adam) sin entered the world, and (spiritual) death through sin, and thus (spiritual) death spread to all men, BECAUSE ALL SINNED" (Gen. 2:17; 3:6; Ro. 3:23; 5:12; 1 Co. 10:13; Jas. 1:13-16)!

It should be noted that Augustine relied on the translation of the Latin Vulgate, (Catholic translation of the Bible) because he was unable to read Koine Greek. So, when he came to Romans 5:12 he read, "As sin entered the world by one man and death because of sin, so death spread into all men, IN WHOM all sinned." Thus, we arrive at another aspect that influenced the notion of the doctrine known as, 'original sin'. In the Latin Bible, the last part of Romans 5:12 passage is translated "in quo", meaning, "in whom" all sinned, which does NOT agree with the original Greek or the English which express the conclusion of Romans 5:12 as follows: "for that all have sinned" (AV), "because all men sinned" (RSV) and "because all sinned" (NKJV).

Does the Bible teach that all men are automatically made righteous by Christ apart from repenting and believing in the Gospel (Mk. 1:15; Acts 17:30-31; 20:21)? Of course not! Then why is it automatically assumed that all men are automatically made sinners by Adam apart from choice (Ro. 5:18)? The idea of original sin being hereditary is contrary to many parts of the Bible. For instance, Deuteronomy 24:16 states, "Fathers shall NOT be put to death for their children, nor children for their fathers...every man shall be put to death for his own sin", while in Ezekiel 18:4 God confirms, "All souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine; the soul that sins, it shall die". This being the case, why would God allow the transmission of sin?

The 'sin nature' doctrine plainly contradicts other parts of the Bible and erroneously makes God the author of sin. Under this teaching, sin becomes a calamity (instead of a crime) and consequently places ALL un-baptized and aborted babies into hell. This doctrine has handicapped Ministers ability to call sinners to repentance and effectively preach against immoral behavior. Consequently, the Churches have been overrun with double-minded professing Christians who are ever learning and never able to come to the knowledge of truth! This teaching is utterly absurd, unfounded, unscriptural and promotes other false doctrines. For example, If the notion of original sin was valid, then it must be just as true that Jesus was born of a woman who was infected with this disease and thus shapened our sinless Lord in her very iniquity (Psa. 51:5 & Heb. 4:15)! The only way to avoid this blasphemes predicament is to embrace the Roman Catholic Dogma termed 'Immaculate Conception' which was invented to remedy the issue of Christ being infected with original sin.

Original sin is Gnostic and utterly false! Truly, this teaching is the Devils masterpiece! By it, Satan has taken himself OUT of the picture completely! Mans bodily desires are now to be blamed for its constant wrong doings in the world, rather than the Devils tempting and influential schemes. Because mans own nature (according to original sin) is wholly corrupted and entirely incapable of virtuous actions in thought or deed, Satan need NOT prowl anymore to seek and devour all who would submit to his influences. (Jas. 1:13-16; 1 Pe. 5:8; 1 Jn. 2:15-16)! Why? Because the inevitable consequences of all man’s actions are already wicked and depraved from birth. No longer does Satan need to launch his fiery darts or lay in wait to deceive, instead, the (inherited) sinful nature will do it for him! He can just sit back and wait for the preachers to keep telling their lies and the so-called Christians to keep coming forth in their sins, thinking they are saved!

Imputed Righteousness: or 'Imputed Obedience' is the popular doctrine of the day that has been embraced by mainstream Christianity and various Churches abroad. This teaching has stretched far and wide and has NOT failed to hit one corner of the globe. Within this teaching is found a substitution theology, a moral transfer, pre-forgiveness of future sins, rewards system and eternal security for the believer. The doctrine of original sin or total IN-ability is the very BASE on which this teaching is built. (as expressed in above section). Basically, with all the fluff and great swelling words of emptiness removed, imputation implies the following:

1) Jesus was the elects substitute, which means, Christ took the wrath of God in their place on the cross.
2) Christ' righteousness and obedience to the Father was carried out so God could transfer it to believers by faith.
3) By Faith (alone), individuals must accept, receive and rest in this Divine arrangement (See: points 1 & 2 above).
4) By trusting in this provision they are viewed as righteous in God's sight and forgiven of past, present and future sins!
5) This Divine arrangement seals the destiny of the soul and declares the believer eternally secure apart from character and conduct.

This doctrine of 'Imputed Righteousness' is not only blasphemous, but highly un-Scriptural. First, by teaching mans sins were literally imputed to Jesus (on the cross) so that He was infected by mans unrighteousness. (on the cross) and therefore liable to Divine justice (wrath of God), you must also assert that Christ paid your fine in advance (on the cross) and took your punishment upon Himself (on the cross), which consequently places Him in hell for all eternity. (by literally bearing yours sins in His own body on the cross):

"For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord" (Ro. 6:23)

(This is Clearly speaking of Spiritual Death, not Physical Death as Heb9:2)

According to imputation advocates this is precisely what Christ has accomplished for His elect. (by dying on the cross two thousand years ago). Full proof of this doctrinal ERROR is observed by comparing 'the wages of sin' to 'the Gift of God' (Ro. 6:23). Here we read, 'the wages of sin is (eternal) death' being contrasted with 'the Gift of God', which is, Eternal Life. As follows, if Jesus was punished for the sins of certain people, then He continues to suffer in eternal hell to this very hour! Clearly, Scripture does NOT agree with the idea that Christ is suffering in hell today (Acts 7:55; 1 Co. 15:1-7; Heb. 1:3).However the Grand Conclusion of such a Fallacy IS that Jesus remains in hell to this day! Although all would deny it.

Consequently, Jesus was NOT punished on the cross in place of (certain) individuals and therefore sins are NOT paid for in advance! (Matt. 6:13-14; Ro. 3:25; Heb. 6:6; 10:26-31; 2 Pe. 1:9; 1 Jn. 1:9). Likewise, another passage of Scripture that is sighted to support the notion that the 'Lamb of God' became blackened with imputed sin on the cross so certain PRE-selected individuals could eventually be imputed exceedingly righteous (by believing in the provision) is the following:

"For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him" (2 Co. 5:21).

From this verse is conjectured that Christ had His children's sins imputed to Himself. (as His very own) and that His obedience and righteousness are transferred to His elect. (as their very own). Hence, you are 'positionally' righteous and approved IN Christ, even while you remain UN-righteous and totally wicked in nature. Although some may see the blatant contradiction of 'upholding the law by faith' (as Paul stated in Ro. 3:31) and violating it daily in thought, word and deed, they are quick to affirm, 'there is NO condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus' (Ro. 8:1). Of course, this is CODE for their teaching of substitution which implies Christ took the wrath of God in their place (on the cross) which means there is NO more wrath for their disobedience or future sins after conversion! Thus, nothing you do or fail to do can EVER bring you back under judgment of God! This teaching has cleverly removed the GUILT from the believer’s conscience, while affirming; the actual SIN (nature) remains. Thus, there interpretation of 2 Co. 5:21 is as follows:

"For He (God) made Him (Jesus) who knew no sin (sinless) to be (a) sin(er) for us (on the cross), that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. (through a moral transfer)" (2 Co. 5:21).

Yet again we are faced with a Bible teaching that asserts Christ became the greatest of sinners on the cross (by imputation), so that all His elect could (by imputation) receive His righteousness. Is this so? Is obedience transferable? Can morals be exchanged? Is vice and virtue, good and bad, right and wrong be inherited or imputed? Is sin a physical issue or moral choice? The Scriptures confirm that Jesus is the 'Lamb of God' who shed His 'precious Blood' which was VOID of 'spot or blemish' as a sacrifice to God for the sins of mankind. (Isa. 24:44; 53:6; Ezk. 18:30-32; Matt. 23:37; Mk. 16:15-16; Lk. 2:10-11; Jn. 1:29; 3:16; Rom. 2:11; 5:15; 2 Cor. 5:14-15; Eph. 1:7; 1 Tim. 2:11; 4:10; Tit. 2:11; Heb. 2:10; 9:22; 1 Pe. 1:19; 2 Pe. 2:1; 1 Jn. 2:22; 3:20). Notice, Christ Blood is said to have been WITHOUT 'blemish' or 'spot', that is, without sin. (Heb. 4:15; 1 Pe. 1:19). Now, why is this significant and vital to grasp?

"Whatever has a defect, you shall not offer, for it shall not be acceptable on your behalf" (Lev. 22:20).

If God's true PROVISION involves a moral transfer (double imputation) then how would Christ have been able to ATONE for the sins of the world? (Jn. 1:29; 3:16; 1 Jn. 2:2; 3:20). According to this above passage, He would NOT have been accepted due to having defect. (sin)! As follows, if Christ Blood was truly tainted through the imputation of sin then His Blood loses all its purity, VALUE and everlasting merit. Therefore, His Blood no longer can redeem man from the corrupting influence of sin. (Heb. 9:13-14; 2 Pe. 1:3-4). No more can Christ save His people from their sins by destroying the very works of the devil. (Matt. 1:21; 1 Jn. 3:8). No longer can Jesus' Blood allow God to pass over our OLD sins that were PREVIOUSLY Committed, nor purge our consciences from dead works so we can SERVE the living God. (Ro. 3:25; Heb. 1:3; 9:14; 12:28-39; 2 Pe. 1:9). The idea of Christ being TEMPETED in all points as we are, yet WITHOUT sin, and being the same yesterday, today and forever becomes nothing more than a mere fable. (Matt. 4; Heb. 4:15; 13:8). Consequently, the Gospel loses its ability to pull souls out of HELLS FIRES and no longer can any man or woman be saved. (Ro. 3:24-25; Eph. 1:7; Col. 1:14)!

"Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year. You may take it from the sheep or from the goats" (Ex. 12:5).

Again, we see proof that the 'Lamb of God' could NEVER have became a sinner of the cross as the doctrine of imputed righteousness affirms, rather, "He (God) made Him (Jesus Christ) who knew no sin (innocent) to be (a) sin (offering) for us, that we might become the righteousness of God (justification through Blood) in Him. (2 Co. 5:21). The same word "hamartia" (sin) that is used by Paul in 2 Co. 5:21 is also seen multiple times in the Septuagint (Greek Old Testament) as a SIN-OFFERING: (Exod. 29:14 Lev. 4:3; 4:8; 4:20; 4:21; 4:24, 4:25, 4:29, 4:32-34; Lev. 5:6; 5:7; 5:8; 5:9; 5:11; 5:12; Lev. 6:17; 6:25; 6:30; Lev. 7:7, 7:37; Lev. 8:2,; 8:14; Lev. 9:2; 9:3; 9:7; 9:8; 9:10; 9:15; 9:22; Lev. 10:16; 10:17; 10:19; Lev. 12:6; 12:8; Lev. 14:13; 14:19; 4:22; 4:31; Lev. 15:15; 15:30; Lev. 16:3; 16:5; 16:6; 16:9; 16:11; 16:15; 16:25; 16:27; Lev. 23:19; Num. 6:11; 6:14; 6:16; Num. 7:16; 7:22; 7:28; 7:34; 7:40; 7:46; 7:52; 7:58; 7:70; 7:76; 7:82; 7:87; Num. 8:8; 8:12; Num. 15:24; 15:25; 15:27; Num. 18:9; Num. 28:15; 28:22; Num. 29:5; 29:11; 29:16; 29:22; 29:25; 29:28; 29:31; 29:34; 29:38.)

"And you know that He was manifested to take away our sin and IN Him is NO sin" ( 1 Jn. 3:5)

It also occurs in other Scriptures with the same significance in mind: (2 Chron. 29:21; 29:23; 29:24: Ezra 6:17; Job 1.5; Ezk. 43:19, 43:22; 43:25; Ezk. 44:27; 44:29; Ezk. 45:17; 45:19; 45:22; 45:23; 45:25) The Bible clearly tells us that Christ was an OFFERING for sin. (Isa. 53:10; Heb. 9:13-14; 9:28; 10:10). He was a SACRIFICE to God for a sweet -smelling aroma. (Eph. 5:1-2). These verses also affirm, Christ NEVER became sin on the cross, which means, when God viewed His Son on Calvary He saw NO sin. (Isa. 53:7; 53:9; Acts 8:32-33; Heb. 4:15; 1 Pe. 2:22-23). This being the case, there was NO exchange, magnificent transfer or imputation that took place on the cross! The Scripture declares, 'He (Jesus) was manifested to TAKE AWAY our sins, and IN Him is NO sin' (Matt. 1:21; 2 Co. 5:21; 1 Jn. 3:5)! This is why God could accept Christ precious Blood and sin-offering as a sacrifice for the sins of the WORLD. (Lev. 22:20; Ex. 12:5; Jn. 1:29; 2 Cor. 5:21; 1 Pet. 1:19; 2:24; 1 Jn. 2:2)

Further errors are confirmed by evaluating this particular doctrine of 'Imputed Righteousness'. First, if man becomes PRE-forgiven of UN-committed sins at the moment of justification (as they all teach!) then HOW can he lose rewards or be scourged over sins that were paid for IN advance on the cross. (Heb. 12)? If all sins (past, present, future) are under the Blood of Christ at the moment of justification, then how can a believer lose fellowship with God by continuing in sin that He can no longer see. (Ro. 6:1-2; Heb. 4:13; 1 Pe. 3:12; Rev. 2-3)? Many may reply, "Christians who continue in sin were NEVER really saved to begin with". However, this is an outrageous contradiction. If someone is pronounced saved and later falls into grievous sins and away from the faith, how could they no longer be saved OR 'never saved to begin with', when their FUTURE sins were forgiven at conversion. (2 Pe. 2:1-3; Jude 4)?

Likewise, some will say, "Christians might fall into sin, but they will not dive into it nor remain in it". What about King David who committed acts of murder and adultery. (2 Sam. 12:7-23)? How about Peter who denied Christ three times (Mk. 14:66-72; Jn.18:25-27)? It appears they did not CONTINUE in those sins, which must, mean (according to this teaching) they were truly saved to begin with. The question then becomes -- did they (David and Peter) lose there justification through their personal transgression OR did their salvation experience remain in tact even while they were in a state of willful sin. (Ezk. 18:24; Matt. 10:33; Ro. 8:13; 1 Co. 6:9-10; Gal. 6:7-9; 5:19-21; Eph. 5:5-7; Heb. 10:26; Rev. 21:8)? According to this perverted doctrine of imputation, they were forgiven (by the Virtue of Calvary) for their sins (being elect) BEFORE they ever committed them which DIRECTLY (or indirectly) implies that a Christian can deny the Lord, murder a neighbor and commit adultery while simultaneously retaining salvation!

Truly, these outrageous conclusions can only be arrived at by holding to the imputation doctrine of eternal security that magically transfers the Righteousness (and obedience) of Christ to believers through the virtue of His sacrifice. However, it should be noted that no where does the Bible say that 'Christ' is Imputed to you as Righteousness -- only by conjecture can this be proven (2 Pe. 3:16-17). On the contrary, the Bible DOES affirm man's faith is Imputed for Righteousness, which includes, doing what is right from the heart by obedience to the truth. (Gen. 15:6; Ro. 4:3,22; 6:17; Gal. 3:6; Jas. 2:23; 1 Pe. 1:22; 1 Jn. 3:7). Just the same, no where does the Bible teach that a believers sins are FORGIVEN IN ADVANCE on the cross -- only by conjecture can this be understood. (Matt. 6:13-14; 6:23; Acts 17:30; Ro. 3:25; Heb. 10:26-31; 2 Pe. 1:9; Rev. 2-3).

Finally, if it is true that a genuine believer can never 'believe for a while' or 'fall away in a time of temptation' (as Jesus confirmed in Lk. 8:13 & Rev. 2:10),why does Paul warn believers that BEFORE the 'Day of Christ' can come, there must come a massive 'falling away from the faith' (2 Thess. 2:3)? How can Christians fall if they NEVER stood to begin with (2 Pe. 3:17)? How can a branch wither if it was NEVER green to begin with (Jn. 15:6)? How can one shipwreck their faith if they were NEVER on the ship to begin with (1 Tim. 1:18-20)? How can Christ return for a Second Advent, if only those who 'fall away' (or 'Apostate'), were NEVER truly saved to begin with (2 Thess. 2:3)? How can people who were 'never saved to begin with' and NOT 'partakers of the Divine nature' apostate (or fall away) from the Christian religion in which they NEVER truly were apart of to begin with (2 Pe. 1:3-4)? Impossible!

The Scripture is full of WARNINGS that adequately show that you can indeed FALL AWAY from the faith (Matt. 18:21-34; 24:10; Mk. 4:17; Lk. 8:13; Jn. 6:66; Acts 1:25 & Matt. 19:28; 2 Thess. 2:3; 1 Tim. 1:6; 19; 4:1; 2 Tim. 3:8; 4:10; Heb. 3:12-15; 4:1-11; 6:6; 2 Pet. 2:20-22; Jude 1:5). For these reasons I reject the doctrine of Imputation which is built off the notion of original sin and asserts a substitution theory, moral transfer, PRE-forgiveness of future sins, rewards system and the eternal security of the believer. I affirm this teaching is dangerously ANTI-Scriptural and utter heresy. (2 Pe. 2:1; Jude 4).

In Conclusion:

This twisted doctrine of ‘Imputed Righteousness’ as taught today in Christendom undermines the very foundations of godliness and creates what some have termed a ‘moral dilemma’ of immense magnitude. All teaching of obedience and OBLIGATION to the moral law of God is negated under this system because BEHAVIOR doesn’t count. The hearers draw the natural conclusion that since God doesn’t see them sin and they are magically cloaked in the Righteousness of Jesus, NOTHING they do can add or detract from the ultimate outcome of their final salvation. It’s already a done deal! Signed and delivered on the Cross, PAID in advance, so to speak, and waiting for a personal acknowledgement of what has ALREADY taken place at Calvary. ....

"There is no sin you have to stop doing to get saved, no sin you have to stop doing to stay saved; in fact if you try to obey or please God by not sinning, you cancel grace out because salvation is trusting that God sees you as Jesus, not sinning when you sin!."

Without a Full and Complete Knowledge of the Truth you will inevitably walk into Darkness and Error and be Lost in an ocean of False teaching. When it comes your Eternal Soul, you CANNOT afford to be Wrong! Scripture proclaims that MOST people are already deceived and under Strong Delusion. DONOT Consider yourself an exception unless you can PROVE Beyond all Doubt that what you BELIEVE is 100% Correct!

Assumptions and Conjecture WILL NOT get you into the Kingdom. False Doctrine translates into FALSE TEACHING! Present Day Doctrine/theology is founded in Deeply Seated Error. You Need to Dig in and DIG Deep to unravel this Mess or it will Cost you your eternal soul! To Religious Church goers the TRUTH is NOT an Easy Pill to Swallow. It will Turn your World Up-Side-down! You can Love it Now or be JUDGED by it later. Relinquish the Lies and WALK into the Light!
