The Gospel (or unraveling the lie)
For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. Eph2:8-9
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. John3:16
What is the Gospel Message? Does a person have to merely ‘Believe’ in Jesus and be “Saved’ eternally? What’s sin have to do with Salvation? Does God hold man accountable for his actions or does He overlook their short-comings because of Grace? Did Jesus take our place on the Cross and suffer the punishment due us, so that God could Transfer His accomplishment to us by faith? What is the Truth? What does the Bible REALLY teach concerning these things?
Your Personal Salvation is something you Cannot afford to be wrong about. To err concerning these things would have fatal and irreversible consequences! God has indeed established a means by which man can be Saved from his sin, that is very simple and straight forward. But man has twisted and distorted this simplicity to such a degree that the REAL Gospel Message has been hidden from him for many generations. What has been Preached is its place has NOTHING to do with the Bible.
An Examination of the Scriptures will Show the Following:
You are NOT Born a Sinner. Which makes you responsible to God to Repent, Stop the evil of your doings and Obey Him. God Does not feel sorry for you, nor did He send Jesus to make up for your short comings, but to Save you from the Corrupting influence of sin.
Yours Sins are Not forgiven in advance. Jesus Did Not Obey for you. Nor is His Righteousness Transferred to you. DOING what is Right by Faith is the imputed Righteousness of faith. There is no such thing as Positional Righteousness.
Salvation is Completely Conditional on Repentance and Faith PROVEN by Deeds. You are NOT eternal secure because you believe, such teaching is a Myth. Willful, deliberate, Presumptuous sin will Result in Disqualification from the Kingdom of heaven.
You Cannot Serve Two Masters, be Double-Minded or have a Divided heart. You are a Salve to who you Obey, Sin to death (loss of your soul) or Obedience to Righteousness. If you Possess the Spirit you WILL Produce the Fruit of the Spirit, not the lust of the flesh.
The Death of Christ. (Forgiveness of sins)
For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ
died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps
for a good man someone would even dare to die. But God demonstrates His own love
toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Rom5:6-8
Christ’s Death was a Sin Offering. (2Cor5:21) (He did not become sin!)
The Atonement or Reconciliation (Rom5:11, 2Cor5:18-20) is Christ offering
Himself to God by dying on the Cross, shedding His Blood in order to RESTORE man
to Favor, IF he will meet the Conditions God has sent forth in His Word.
The Atoning Sacrifice of Christ is the Mercy Seat, (Heb9:5) of Christ. He
offered His own Blood to Purge the Sacrifice on the Altar (which in this case is
the repenting soul) in order to Purity it.
how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through
the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, cleanse your
conscience from dead works to serve the living God? Heb9:14
Man has been Reconciled to God, NOT God To Man! You Must Seek to be Reconciled to God through the Atoning Sacrifice of Christ. The Conditions are Repentance and Faith Proven by Deeds. (Acts26:18-20, 2Cor7:10-11, Gal5:6, Rom6:4-6)
whom God set forth as a propitiation by
His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His
forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed, Rom3:25
The Propitiation of Christ,
(1John2:2, 4:10) is the Appeasement offered to God in the Atonement so that God
can Pass over Sins Previously Committed by the Repenting Soul. (Rom3:25) or
‘Expiate’ the sin.
In the Old Testament the Propitiation is the Covering of the Ark of the Covenant
in the Holy of Holies, where the Blood was sprinkled on the Sacrifice to APPEASE
God…..in Order that He could Accept the Offering for the sins of the people. In
Salvation, Christ is the Victim, YOU are the LIVING Sacrifice offered in
Repentance. (Rom12:1-2) The Blood is Sprinkled on you to Purify.
The Victim is Not Punished for the sins of
someone else
God Does Not Pour Out His Wrath on Jesus
No Exchange is taking place. The Sacrifice does NOT become Sin nor is sin
transferred to Christ
Strange Fire!
(Num26:60-61)
The Sons of Aaron (Moses Brother) offered a Strange or Profane Fire to the Lord
and were Judged.
Lesson: You Cannot approach God in the Wrong Manner and find forgiveness of Sins! Erring in your understanding of the Atoning Sacrifice of Christ and the Propitiation of His Blood will result in Eternal Consequences for your soul.
The Purpose of This Manner of
Forgiveness:
Restoration of Favor
Appeasement for Sin
Example set forth to Follow
The New and Living Way!
Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter the
Holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way which He consecrated for
us, through the veil, that is, His flesh, and having a High Priest over the
house of God, let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith,
having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with
pure water. Heb10:19-22
The Result of Accessing this Atonement
through Repentance and Faith:
A True Heart, Made Pure
Filthiness of flesh Removed
Conscience Purged from evil
By Dying with Christ in Repentance, the Old man is Put to Death once and for all and New Man of Spirit is Born. Now Real Growth Can Happen. The Old Man Does Not Die by Degree or Gradually over time. He is Put to Death in Repentance, Done away with. The Sin Stops!
Therefore we were buried with Him through baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. For if we have been united together in the likeness of His death, certainly we also shall be in the likeness of His resurrection, knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin. For he who has died has been freed from sin. Rom6:4-7
This Happens in Repentance, not After, not over time. It is NOT Positional but Literal, a REAL Freedom From the Corrupting influence of sin! The Result is a New Life in the Spirit and forgiveness of sin. The heart is Made Pure by Faith working by love and the soul is Victorious over sin, the flesh and devil.
(Gal5:6, 1John5:4-5, 1Pet1:22-23) THIS is the Gift of Grace, not a Covering of sin.
You Are NOT Saved by:
Accepting Jesus as your personal Savior (Nothing in the Bible supports this)
Repeating a Prayer, called the ‘Sinners prayer’ (It Does not appear in the Bible)
Or By Admitting that you are a sinner. (You Must Repent of sin, not Confess you are a sinner!)
You are Saved by: James1:21-22
Therefore lay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls. But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.
The Receiving with Meekness is Repentance with godly sorry. The Implanted Word is what you Obey.
The Grace of God:
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Rom6:23
Grace is NOT Un-merited Favor! The Greek Definition is as follows:
good will, loving-kindness, favor of the merciful kindness by which God, exerting his holy influence 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.
In the Bible Grace is Shown in this Manner:
For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age, looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who 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. Titus2:11-14
The Purpose of
Grace is to Bring man into a Right Relationship with God, in order that he can
be in an Acceptable and Savable State. It is Received on Condition of Repentance
and Faith Proven by Deeds.
In Salvation we WORK Together with God, 2Cor6:1, through our godly sorrow for
sin, conviction and Clearing of Wrong Doing. (2Cor7:10-11) The Result of Grace
Received through the Atonement is:
Denying
ungodliness and worldly lusts
Self Control and Righteousness in this present life
Purity of Heart and Zealousness to Serve God
Grace has NOTHING to do with Off Setting a ‘Sinful Nature’ you were Born with, so that you can Believe in Jesus. It is NOT Given to Cover or excuse you ‘Sinful’ Condition. It is NOT Un-Conditional! And it DOES NOT Exempt you from Keeping the Royal Law of God. (Matt19:16-17, 1Jh2:4, Rev14:12, 22:14)
“If you Keep My Commandments, you will Abide in My Love!” John15:10
Grace Can be Forfeited, Fallen From, Suffer Disqualification and canceled out by sin!
You have become estranged from Christ, you who attempt to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace. Gal 5:4
But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified. 1Cor9:27
For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and fiery indignation which will devour the adversaries. Heb10:26-27
Therefore consider the goodness and severity of God: on those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in His goodness. Otherwise you also will be cut off. Rom11:22
Merely Returning to the Obedience of the Law Cannot Provide Salvation from Sin, because the Wages of sin is Death. Therefore the law cannot bring about Life, only Death once broken. GRACE offered through the Atonement Can Restore Life by giving the Repenting Soul a FRESH Start, Cleared of Wrong Doing, Pure in heart and Renewed in Spirit. Under Grace the Soul is made ACCEPTABLE to God Because it has been Freed from the Power of sin, by the flesh (old man) Dying with Christ. (Rom6:15, Gal3:11)
He Purified their Hearts by Faith! Acts15:9
You are Saved by Faith, Not by Works of the Law. But What is Faith? What is the Principle behind Faith?
Faith Works by Love, (Gal5:6)
Faith Upholds & Established the law, (Rom3:31)
Faith Obeys from the Heart, (Rom6:17)
Faith is a Walk in the Spirit, (Rom4:12)
Faith Fulfills the Righteous Requirements of the Law, (Rom8:1-4)
Faith Can be Imputed or ‘Credited’ to You as Righteousness Because:
It Does all of the Above, Faith is of itself a WORK, (Rom3:27) The Law of Faith!
Through Genuine Faith:
The Soul is Made Pure
Obedience to God is Steadfast and Enduring
The Fruit of the Spirit is Produced by Doing what is Right
Imputed Righteousness of Faith!
And not being weak in faith, he did not consider his own body, already dead (since he was about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah’s womb. He did not waver at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthened in faith, giving glory to God, and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform. And therefore “it was accounted to him for righteousness.” Rom4:19-22
NEVER Does the Bible say that Christ is Imputed to you as Righteousness, only Faith. Because Real Faith OBEYS and DOES what God has Said to Do! (Heb11:4-7, 8. 23-27) Passive Faith is of the Devil. (Js2:19)
Faith Did Not Replace Obedience, Faith is Obedience! From the Heart. It Originates in Real Repentance that includes Godly sorrow for sin, Conviction and a Clearing of Wrong doing. The Rudiments of Faith can exist in the Knowledge that God is Real, as the devils acknowledge His existence, (Js2:19) BUT Saving Faith takes place when the Heart OBEYS the Truth! (Rom6:15-17) Then it Can be Cleansed of Sin, Crucify the Old Man and Follow Christ. (Gal5:24, Luke9:23)
Purity, Sincerity and Love! (The Purpose of the Commandment, 1Tim1:5)
Christ Taught the Doctrine Which is According to godliness. (1Tim6:3) The Bible Warns that if anyone Strays from this Doctrine and teaches otherwise, that Grace, Faith, Repentance and forgiveness of sins, DOES NOT Produce Godliness, Self Control and Purity of Heart, has Departed from the Faith.(1Tim6:3-6)
All these Tie Together in the Bible to Bring about a Real Salvation and Freedom from Sin. Remove any Part of this Vital Process and the ENTIRE Gospel is Rendered ineffective for Salvation. God has Provided man with forgiveness of Sins in Christ, BUT NOT in some arbitrary fashion where you decide how to access His Grace. Telling People they are Saved by Repeating words or Accepting Jesus, or Admitting they are sinners is NOT Real Salvation. No One is benefiting from being told that their sins are forgiven in Advance, they are Declared Righteous while remaining sinful and they are eternally secure no matter what!
Rather than Producing the Desired Effect of Godly Behavior and Righteous Self Control, the False Gospel has brought about a Reprobated Church (totally corrupted to the core) and a Society in ruin. But is the Moral Decay enough to awaken the Blind Guides sending forth this Message? NEVER!
They Defend and Argue in favor of sin twenty four hours a day from every venue in the land. Truly they are TESTING the DEPTHS of Satan! (Rev2:24) and have EXCLUDED Christ from their Midst! (Rev3:16-17)
The Supposed Converts inside this System of Lies are Joyful because they are being told daily by their Blind Leaders that they are Wretched Sinners Saved by Grace. This Message brings them Great consolation and assurance that they will go to heaven when they die in spite of what they do. The Delusion is Complete because EVERYONE Wishes it to be so and the Great wakening won’t come until the Judgment. (then it will be too late to do anything about it) They have exchanged the Truth of God for a lie and Worshiped and Served the IMAGE instead of Christ.
Inseparable from the Process of Salvation is the Act of Repentance.
Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent, because He has appointed a day on which He will judge the world in righteousness by the Man whom He has ordained. He has given assurance of this to all by raising Him from the dead.” Acts17:30-31
Repentance is Not Confession that you are a sinner or repeating some words. You can be sorry for your sin and still not forsake the evil of your doings. The Main Purpose of Repentance is that the Sin Must Stop. You Cannot Come to God still in your sins. You Must be CLEARED of your Wrong Doing first.
Let the wicked forsake his way, And the
unrighteous man his thoughts; Let him return to the LORD, And He will have mercy
on him; And to our God, For He will abundantly pardon. Isa55:7
The Pardon is available on CONDITION you forsake your wicked way and the unrighteousness of your thoughts. In other words, in Real Repentance you ‘CLEAN UP’ your act! The flagrant sins of the flesh Stop, Cease. You don’t Bargain with God by supposing that He will forgive you in your sins. The False Gospel teaches that God receives you in your sins and then Cleans you up later. But this Violates EVERYTHING the Bible Reveals about Repentance and Faith!
Now therefore, amend your ways and your doings, and obey the voice of the LORD your God; then the LORD will relent concerning the doom that He has pronounced against you. Jer26:13
Perhaps everyone will listen and turn from his evil way that I may relent concerning the calamity which I purpose to bring on them because of the evil of their doings. Jer26:3
By Definition God’s Atonement CANNOT offer the Gift of Grace (forgiveness of sins) Unless the CONDTIONS are first met. Grace Does Not supersede the Conditions by offering forgiveness in sin.
NO Incident of the Granting of Forgiveness in Scripture Violates this Process. The False Teachers will try to use King David, The Thief on the Cross, The Publican and the Pharisee, the Woman caught in adultery, the healing of the Leapers and others. BUT NONE of these Violates the Directive of Scripture, Repentance is CLEARLY Defined for us in the follow:
For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, not to be regretted; but the sorrow of the world produces death. For observe this very thing, that you sorrowed in a godly manner: What diligence it produced in you, what clearing of yourselves, what indignation, what fear, what vehement desire, what zeal, what vindication! In all things you proved yourselves to be clear in this matter. 2Cor7:10-11
Notice that NOTHING is Said about Confession, Admitting your Sinfulness, or Repeating Words. The Process is Plainly Revealed, unless you follow the Blind Guides:
Godly Sorry for sin
Crisis of Conviction
Diligence to Clear yourself of Wrong Doing
and Do what is Right!
Fear and vehement Desire to Please God with Zeal
Purity of Heart, (clear is the word for pure)
Without a Genuine Repentance there is NO Conversion and Certainly no Forgiveness of Sin. This is the reason the Churches are filled with ‘Converts’ who consider themselves Christian sinners saved by Grace. And they live their lives accordingly in the LUST of the flesh! Worse they are so pleased with the Delusion that they Refuse to Examine the Facts, instead they settle for the Lie and Continue in their sins. Christianity is one of the Few Religions of the world where You make you own rules to live by and Decide what you want to believe in. You can Take your pick from a Wide range of Denominations, Organizations, Sects, Independents and belief systems. What ever meets your fancy is out there for the taking. The WHOLE World seems to gravitate toward the ‘Saved in Sin’ Message, which makes it the Universal teaching that links all these so-called creeds together. Consequently they are one BIG Happy family of COUNTERFEIT Religion, wallowing together in their addictions and looking forward to heaven in the end.
Original Sin. (The Chief of False Doctrines!)
What Binds together and Necessitates the ENTIRE System of False teaching Concerning the Gospel is the Fallacy that man is Born into Sin, depraved and wholly incapable of Turning to God of himself. This is Stated in every Mainstream Evangelical Creed since the Westminster Confession of faith was drawn up in 1646. Rejecting this Tenet of Doctrine is equivalent to Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit!
Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned. Rom5:12
This Passage is the Corner Stone of the Original Sin Fallacy. By it they ‘Prove’ that Adam’s sin was transmitted to Mankind and affected his Nature, which is now ‘Depraved’ and cannot turn to God. The Death spoken of, they assume to be ‘Physical’ death, because in their teaching Adam was immortal.
Although NONE of this can be Proven and is Clearly Contradicted elsewhere in Scripture.
Adam was NOT Immortal. He was Created to Pro-create as the earth was made to Produce after its own kind. Clearly a Cycle was taking place in Creation, which inevitably leads us to conclude that life and death would follow. Also Adam was expelled from the Garden, after the fall, lest he and Eve partake of the Tree of Life and LIVE FOREVER! (Gen3:22) Thus they were not already immortal but mortal beings.
The Death Spoken of here could NOT be Physical, otherwise Adam would have Died (dropped dead) the Moment he sinned! WHY? Did not God Tell them that the DAY they Sinned they would DIE? (Gen3:3)
Since they did not drop to the ground dead, the Death MUST be a Spiritual Separation from God, or ‘Spiritual’ Death. It Follows in the Romans Passage. The Death that entered into the world was a ‘Spiritual’ separation from God. That Must be Restored by a New Birth of the SPIRIT.
Because All Sinned!
Adam did not transmit his Nature to mankind, but his EXAMPLE. All sinned in ‘Similarity’ to Adam by follow that example. Man is Not Born already a Sinner by Nature. The Bible States that Children are Born Innocent. (Deut1:39, Ecc7:29, Matt18:24, 19:14) You Cannot be held Responsible for the sins of your Parents! (Ezk18:19) Sin is NOT Inherited, it is learned by Tradition! (1Pet1:18, Eph2:3) The False Teachers are making their case on the ignorance of the people who WILL NOT Examine the Word of God and Find that ‘By Nature’ (Eph2:3, Rom2:14) Clearly Means: ‘a mode of feeling and acting which by long habit has become nature.’ Something learned, not Inherited!
But Because they Continue to Teach that Man is Born a Sinner it results in the following:
1) No Real Repentance, because no one can Stop Sinning!
2) Jesus Obeyed for you, because you Can’t Obey Him
3) Sin is treated as a malady or disease not a Crime against God
4) The Message is Cushioned to excuse sinful behavior
5) Grace becomes Un-Conditional & Un-merited Favor, a Covering for sin
6) Jesus becomes your substitute, Not your Example to Follow after
7) God Does Not see you sinning, only Jesus Not Sinning in your place
The Fallacy of Original Sin began in third Century Rome when a Roman Monk named Augustine began blending in his former pagan beliefs into his understanding of the Bible. Before that NO ONE suggested that man was Born a Sinner. The Message of Repentance and Faith Proven by Deeds was the Central Core of the Gospel. Now Deeds are Considered ‘WORKS’ and taboo! But the Bible Clearly Warns that man will be JUDGED According to his WORKS….not according to a Passive Faith in Jesus.
And if you call on the Father, who without partiality judges according to each one’s work, conduct yourselves throughout the time of your stay here in fear; 1Pet1:17
God will render to each one according to his deeds eternal life to those who by patient continuance in doing good seek for glory, honor, and immortality; 8 but to those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness—indignation and wrath, Rom2:7-9
For the Son of Man will come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and then He will reward each according to his works. Matt16:27
Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will hear His voice and come forth—those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation. John5:28-29
These are the WORKS of Faith, not Law. That’s why it’s important to Understand that Man can Indeed STOP Sinning, Turn to God, Seek His Mercy and PROVE his faith by his DEEDS! Telling him that he is Born a sinner and depraved Renders all of this null and void. Since the third Century they have Continued to Build on this Fallacy and INVENT More False Doctrine to Support it. When the Reformers rose to eminence in the 1500-1600’s they Rejected much of the Ritual the Roman Church had brought in, BUT NOT the Doctrine. That they Whole-heartedly Embraced.
Over time the so-called Christian World has adopted these fallacies as Truth and although NONE of them can be Supported in Scripture, they are taught universally without exception in every church, Sunday school class, seminary, bible college and study groups. The Result: No Real Repentance, Obedience has nothing to do with the outcome of your Salvation. Your Behavior will Never Count against you. There is no sin that Must Stop in order to get Saved, Stay saved or Prove that your saved!
The Doctrine of Original Sin is the GREATEST Excuse ever invented to Continue in Sin. It has resulted in Multitudes of so called converts who have NEVER been truly converted but have Fashioned themselves as ‘Christians’ and lead others into the Lie. They use the Bible to facilitate their fallacies, claiming that they SEE the Truth and Understand the Deeper things of God, but Because their Eye is BAD, the WHOLE Body is Full of Darkness. (Matt6:23-24) But to them Scripture Supports the Lie and they will use it in such manner that Many will be Confused and Deceived into believing what they say. Simply because they WILL NOT Check it out for themselves and refute them.
The Bible Does Not Teach the Things that Mainstream Christianity (the False System!) holds to be true. Original Sin is at the Top of Heap, the CHIEF of False Doctrines. It Tickles the ears of Millions and brings them into a Bondage that is almost IMPOSSIBLE to escape from. It Will Require Steadfast Diligence on your Part to Break free of this lie and escape the deception. Start with Repentance and Build on the Rock.
For we have become partakers of Christ if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast to the end, Heb3:14
And we desire that each one of you show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope until the end, that you do not become sluggish, but imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises. Heb6:11-12
False Doctrine is a Serious Issue
The Bible Constantly Warns of False Teachers, False Spirits, Error and Deception. No one is exempt. Do you Really believe that you can ‘Accept’ Jesus, in some trite manner and then go about your business in the world having fun and NOT Be Deceived!? Do you have ANY idea what the Bible Really teaches about Repentance, Faith, Grace, Forgiveness of sins, the Atonement of Christ, the Doctrine Which is According to Godliness? Could you lead anyone into Truth Concerning these things in the Scriptures and not just refer them to some teacher/ preachers or commentary?
MOST Professing Christians don’t have a clue about these things and could care less. They have attended church for many years and are certain they will go to heaven when they die, but Growth Wise they Remain DEAD in the Faith. They claim to have been Born Again in the Spirit, but WHERE is the Spirit? If the Spirit is Present so is the Fruit of the Spirit! NOT the Lust of the flesh. They are Destitute of the Spirit because they have NEVER BEEN BORN in the first place! Who could be Born of the Spirit of God, become a NEW Creation in Christ and Remain the Wretched man of Romans 7 or the Chief of sinners. Yet that is EXACTLY what these people are taught. So it’s no wonder they are DEAD to God, VOID of the Spirit and Wholly Ignorant of Truth. (As 2Thess2:3-11 Describes them)
Election, Pre-Destination, and Foreknowledge of God:
For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. Rom8:28
God’s Absolute Foreknowledge of events DOES NOT Pre-Determine the Outcome of those events. WHY? Because man has FREE WILL to Choose between Good and Evil of his own accord. Thus Un-Conditional Election and Pre-destination, as taught by many, is another Major Fallacy that Destroys the Gospel Message. Individuals are NOT Elect or Non-Elect as Predetermined by God. Christ said WHOSOEVER Will May Come and He Made Atonement for the Sins all Mankind! (1Jhn2:2)
God DID Pre-determine that His Messiah would be Born through the Elect Nation of Israel, descended from Abraham. NOTHING would interfere or Prevent this from happening. Therefore the people of the Nation of Israel were ELECT, but that Doesn’t mean each individual was guaranteed to be Saved!
(Rom3:2, 9:4-5, 27-28, 1Cor10:2-11) The Purpose of this Election was to Bring about the Birth of the Messiah and Provide a Holy Remnant of the Faithful on earth. (Rom11:5) It has NOTHING to do with Pre-determining the Outcome of YOUR Salvation!
When Israel Rejected and Crucified their Messiah, God CUT them off, (expect for the remnant that believed) And Extended His offer to the Gentiles. (Rom11:15, 18-22-23) Therefore ALL of Mankind has the same Responsibility to Repent and follow Christ. God Does not favor one Nation over another.
There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. Gal3:28
The New Heavens and New Earth, where Righteousness Dwells, (1Pet3:13) will NOT be the New Nation of Israel. End time Fallacies consist of the Jews returning to their home land, Rebuilding their temple, re-instituting of animal sacrifice and then the so-called anti-Christ shows up. In the mean time, the so-called ‘Church’ is Raptured out, the world enters into a seven year Tribulation period, God’s Wrath is poured out on mankind and it all commentates in the final Great battle of Armageddon. (ALL FLASE & INVENTED)
Instead Reality is that the ENTIRE Professing Church world has been DECEIVED by an Army of False Teachers, who appear as lambs but speak the language of the Dragon. (Rev13:11) They are Under Strong Delusion given over to their lusts and Worshipping an IMAGE that looks, walks and talks like the Real Jesus, but is empowered by the Devil! The ‘Man of Sin’ or anti-Christ they are looking for is Actually THEMSELVES, the Beast, their Own Flesh, unbridled in FULL Control, which is the MARK they all fear so much. They have Received the Mark by Believing a Gospel that Saves them in their sins! The Evil eye of the Flesh is NEVER Plucked out and Cast away, as Jesus said, but Retained. (Rev13:11-18)
The True Church (Genuine Believers) is excluded and persecuted. They Labor in the Lord to Expose the Lies and Call the small Remnant out of the System to Serve God in Truth! In the End God will Judge the Great Whore Church (the Woman on the Scarlet Beast) and Establish His Kingdom once and for all.
Within the Framework of God’s ultimate Plan for Mankind, He is Patiently extending His longsuffering and Mercy to man that they may Repent and Obey Jesus. (Rom2:4-5) God’s Holy Character is immutable (unchanging) BUT His Dealings with man are Subject to Change. The Fate of man is NOT Pre-determined in advance and decided wholly by God. Man has a CHOICE to Make.
The soul who sins shall die. The son shall not bear the guilt of the father, nor the father bear the guilt of the son. The righteousness of the righteous shall be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon himself. “But if a wicked man turns from all his sins which he has committed, keeps all My statutes, and does what is lawful and right, he shall surely live; he shall not die. None of the transgressions which he has committed shall be remembered against him; because of the righteousness which he has done, he shall live. Do I have any pleasure at all that the wicked should die?” says the Lord GOD, “and not that he should turn from his ways and live? Ezk18:20-23
(Verse 24 deals with the righteous man turning from his righteousness and dying in sin, a Clear Choice!)
God is Also Shown time and again in Scripture as Changing His Mind concerning Judgment:
Perhaps everyone will listen and turn from his evil way, that I may relent concerning the calamity which I purpose to bring on them because of the evil of their doings. Jer26:3
Now therefore, amend your ways and your doings, and obey the voice of the LORD your God; then the LORD will relent concerning the doom that He has pronounced against you. Jer26:13
And they built the high places of Baal which are in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire to Molech, which I did not command them, nor did it come into My mind that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin.’ Jer32:35-36
Moses in Exodus 32 Pleaded with the Lord to Spare sinning Israel TWICE and the Lord heard his prayer and TURNED from His fierce Wrath against the people. The City of Nineveh also averted Judgment by Repenting and turning from the evil of their doings. (Jonah3:5-10) The Old Testament is filled with examples of God Reacting to man’s choices, NOT Pre-determining those choices. Although there are incidents of God intervening in the affairs of men and altering the outcome of a situation, man ALWAYS has a Choice in the matter. He is NEVER bound to a pre-determined outcome! Even Pharaoh is shown as Hardening his own heart NINE times against God; Before God finally Gave him up to a hard heart. He determined his own path by his DEEDS!
“All day long I have stretched out My hands To a disobedient and contrary people” Rom10:21
Teaching that God Pre-Determines the affairs of man Creates the follow Fallacies:
1) Christ Died Only for the Elect! (Cannot be Proven!)
2) Salvation is Determined by God and Un-Conditional.
3) Man is Totally Depraved at Birth having inherited Adam’s nature of sin
4) Grace is Irresistible
5) Perseverance of the Saints is pre-determined
The False Teachers will use Many Passages in the Books of Romans, Ephesians and Colossians in an attempt to ‘PROVE’ their premise. Some of the Passages taken alone may indeed sound as though they are correct. But as the Bible CANNOT Contradict the BIBLE, we Must Examine ALL Scripture to Understand the Meaning. If God can be shown as dealing with the Free Will Choices of Man (as we have shown) HOW can He ALSO be Pre-Determining our choices today? Therefore His Foreknowledge (spoken of in Scripture) CLEARLY DOES NOT govern the Outcome of our choices.
The Elect: Are Individuals who have Chosen to Repent and Follow Jesus in Faithful Obedience.
The Chosen: Are those who Come to Him and OBEY! That’s why; ‘Many called, Few Chosen.’
His Sheep: Are those who Hear His Voice, Obey & Continue to Follow Him!
His Love is inseparable to those who have answered the call & are Conformed to the Image of His Son
He will Lose None that the Father has given Him, who CONTINUE to Abide in His Word.
(Eph1:12, Matt26:16, Jh10:27-28, Rom8:28-29, 38-39, Jh15:10, 6:39)
You MUST Compare Scripture with Scripture or you will stray into the path of Error. EVERY Fallacy we have shown is Proven by the False Teachers by Refusing to Examine or Discuss further Scripture that invalidates them. Couple this with the Fact that they are Preaching to the Biblical illiterate and that NONE of them have Repented of their sins to begin with, and you have the PERPECT Formula for the Strong Delusion of 2Thessalonians. (the lawless one is man himself, the working of Satan is the false teachers)
The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the LIE,, that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness. 2Thess2:0-12
(Who do you know who LOVES the Truth!?)
In Summary Beliefs The Bible DOES NOT Teach:
1) The Doctrine of Original Sin. (a Total Complete Fallacy!)
2) The Doctrine of Sola fide, or ‘Faith Alone’ Saves. (Faith W/O Works is Dead!)
3) The Doctrine of Grace as Un-Merited Favor & Unconditional.
4) Receiving Jesus as your Personal Savior by admitting you’re a sinner & repeating words
5) Christ suffering the Wrath of God, Becoming Sin and Going to hell in our place
6) The Righteousness and Obedience of Christ Transferred to you by faith
7) Eternal Security. The Outcome of your Salvation is NOT determined by your conduct.
8) Absolute, Un-Conditional Election & Pre-Destination
9) The end times scenario of Rapture, Tribulation, the Jews and Anti-Christ
10) The teaching that God Saves you in your sins and cleans you up later
These False Teachings are Cleverly woven into all the Preaching, Evangelizing, Books, Commentaries, Audio Messages, Videos, in every Bible College and Seminary. The Entire worldwide Missionary outreach teaches them and of the billions of professing Christians in various denominations, sects, organizations and independent are under them, NO Exceptions exist. The System is Beyond Repair. It has no Redeeming Value whatsoever. It is Ripe for Judgment. You MUST SAVE Yourselves by Fleeing from it NOW!
And I heard another voice from heaven saying, “Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues. For her sins have reached to heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities. Render to her just as she rendered to you, and repay her double according to her works; in the cup which she has mixed, mix double for her. In the measure that she glorified herself and lived luxuriously, in the same measure give her torment and sorrow; for she says in her heart, ‘I sit as queen, and am no widow, and will not see sorrow.’ Therefore her plagues will come in one day—death and mourning and famine. And she will be utterly burned with fire, for strong is the Lord God who judges her. Rev18:4-8
