Explaining Dispensationalism.

Is Dispensationalism in the Bible? Did Jesus, Peter, Paul, or John Teach Dispensationalism?

No Dispensationalism is not taught in the Bible. It is a man-made False Teaching. You have to Study Your Bible to Make Sure You are Not being Taught False Doctrines.

Hebrews 4:12 “For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.”

The Bible not any Pastor, not any Church is where the Christian Faith comes from. Dispensationalism is Not in the Bible.

Get out of Churches that are teaching things that do not line up with what the Bible says. Leave right in the middle of the Church service. I have.

1st John 4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

Verse 1) This is so Powerful. We are humans living in a universe filled with spirits. There are devils among us, fallen angels. They are unclean spirits.

Churches are Full of people Possessed with or Influenced by Unclean Spirits, Including False Pastors, Teachers and Evangelist, this is where False Teachings like Dispensationalism came from:

When you are in Church you have to contend with evil spirits. The WARNING: TRY THE SPIRITS WHETHER THEY ARE OF GOD… IS A SERIOUS WARNING WE NEED TO HEED. SOME CHURCHES ARE LOST WITH A SATANIC PASTOR WHO HAS AN UNCLEAN SPIRIT IN HIM. HE IS ONE OF THE FALSE PROPHETS THIS VERSE IS TALKING ABOUT.

2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:

3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

5 They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.

6 We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

Verse 6) The spirit of truth, and the spirit of error. Right here we are told to know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error. The verse is saying “know we.” That Christians by virtue of being Saved know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.

Do not doubt your feelings, they are given to you by God.

I have walked into Churches with an Evil spirit in them. I have talked with Pastor’s who were Lost. They had an Evil spirit I could sense. I flatly told a Pastor that he was Lost. By the way he looked at me with Hate I had a strong belief he was full of devils.

Trust God and reject all the contradictions Pastors teach like Dispensationalism.

When you hear things that do not add up, reject them. Ask God to open up the Bible to you so you can learn the Truth. Any Saved person reading the Bible and seeking the Truth will be shown the Truth of the entire Bible by the Holy Ghost of God.

Dispensationalism is not in the Bible.

Like all cults, Dispensationalists hide the fact that they are Dispensationalists, who believe and teach Calvinist Doctrines. They prey on ignorant people. Some of these Churches use the term Reformed instead of Calvinists to hide that they are Calvinists.

Awhile ago people woke up to the Fact Calvinism is a man-made Religion with very radical teachings. Because people were becoming aware that Calvinism is a Cult, Churches dropped Calvinism from their public profile. And started saying Reformed. All Reformed Churches teach Calvinism.

After new converts are well involved in their Church they will be taught their Dispensationalist beliefs. Before then they will just say. You are too new to our Church to be able to understand Dispensationalism. In time you will learn it. They seduce people slowly into their Heresies.

Beware of IFB Churches. Independent Fundamentalist Baptist Churches. Almost all teach Dispensationalism.

They are by far the Worst. Because they are the Biggest Hypocrites. They claim to be “Bible Believers” (A Note the Term: Bible Believer is a very Arrogant Term. It means, I believe the Bible and you do not. Only my Church Believes the Bible.)

They, in fact, do not Believe the Bible. The people in these Churches hold to the teachings of their Pastor’s their Leaders over what the Bible says.

“You cannot Believe the Gospel only to Save you.” I was told by an IFB Pastor. “Believing the Gospel is not how a person is Saved,” he said to me. His excuse for saying this was: “There is no Repentance in the Gospel. The Bible teaches you have to Repent of Your Sins to Be Saved.” Salvation cannot happen by Believing the Gospel only.

They are intentionally Rude. Yes, they think it is Manly to be Angry, Mean Spirited in their Sermons, in their Conversations. 

“I can sense you do not like what I am saying. Go on get out of here all of you who cannot handle tough preaching. I will not water-down my preaching for all of you effeminate girly men. You weak hearted women.”

The go to insult I have discovered by IFB Preachers is to insult men’s sexuality, their manhood. If a man is offended by the Pastor’s Harsh language, his swearing (Oh, yes they do Swear from the pulpit.) he will say something like this: “Go ahead get out of here. We have enough women in this Church already! Get out now! Yes! I am staring right at you! I can see you wincing at my Preaching! Get out now and never come back!”

This type of stuff does happen frequently. I have sat through too many Nasty Sermons from Non Saved Pastors.

I have heard a Pastor like this say he once cleared out over half the Church with his Preaching. That it was Good Riddance. He wanted to have a Church with strong people. Not weak kneed people.

If you hear a Pastor bragging like this about his Tough Preaching. Who is Swearing at, and Insulting the Congergation. Speaking to them with slanderous words. Leave and do not come back. This is not spiritual and being a good Preacher. It is most likely a Lost Demon filled person.

Pastors Twist the Scriptures to give them an Excuse for their Harsh Words in Sermons: Jesus Swore. Yes He Was Very Harsh to People who he was Preaching to.

This is just plain lying. Jesus was never harsh in his Teaching and Preaching in his Conversations with his followers. Jesus was only Harsh with False Teachers and the Jewish Religious Leaders. He called out the Pharisee’s and Sadducee’s with colorful words, who were only there to find fault with him.

Being a Loud Mouthed Rude Swearing Pastor is the calling card of many popular IFB Pastor’s. Who loved it when Peter S. Ruckman was alive being rude to everyone in earshot. Ruckman would laugh. “Wow, it is dead in here. I can see that you cannot handle tough preaching. You do not like my colorful words. I do not care one little bit if I upset and offend every person in here. Everyone could walk out right now and I would be OK with it. In fact I think I would have really accomplished something today if I did clear you all out…”

Ruckman enjoyed how much he offended people during his Sermons.

He would have people thrown out of services who were wincing, reacting to his Sermons in a negative way. Far be it for him to see honest reactions to his harsh words. “Pastor, do you have ushers, some men that could remove that man right there from this Church. I have repeatedly asked him to leave. He is disturbing me with contorted facial reactions.”

Pastors who treat Congergations like this get loud Amen’s from Devil filled men in the Crowd. Yes I do 100% believe Churches have an Amen section of Devils that are Lost and filled with unclean spirits. Their constant Amen’s at every other word the Pastor is saying is not godly. It is in my opinion Devil’s praising the Satanic Preacher.

They are often combative and dismissive of people who ask them questions they cannot answer.

Dispensationalism is a Non-Christian Cult. Pushed today by Cult Leaders Robert Breaker and Dr. Gene Kim on You Tube. They were taught by Peter S. Ruckman.

Ruckman was their Cult Leader, he died in 2016. He was the prototypical Cult Leader. He ridiculed everyone who had the gull to call him out for his Cult. He made Black Lists of people, of Churches. Who crossed him. Or had the courage to speak against him to Call Him Out for his False Teachings. For the way he ran his ministries, his Church. He published some of these lists, over and over again in his books.

People who Ruckman worked with. Church members of his, were made examples of for simply disagreeing with him. Ruckman told everyone to shun them to never speak with them again.

All Ruckman Churches Blacklist, Shun former members.

“Mr. Jones, and his family are no longer welcomed at this Church. Do not associate with them. If you do you will not be welcomed here either.” This would be followed by calling them out as Heretics.

I saw a Ruckman Pastor humiliate his only Deacon for secretly owning and watching a TV. He and his family were labeled Heretics and kicked out of the Church. The person who reported this was befriended by this family. They gave him a real home to call his own. They fed him home cooked meals, were his friends.

IFB Churches use Fear and Brain Wash their Congergations into Believing Their False Doctrines.

This is what Hitler did with his people. “Kids report everyone, including your Parents for breaking rules.” The Pastor hailed this ungrateful SPY as an example of what he expects from everyone in his Church. A Church filled with Fear. The congregation became more distant and cold to one another.

Ruckman fought with everyone. He is responsible for several Church splits. He loved the name given to his followers by his critics: Ruckmanite. He used it as if he himself had coined the term. He even called himself a Ruckmanite.

Peter S. Ruckman was Happy, Extremely Excited that he had risen to the status of Cult Leader.

He would go on long rants in his Sermons, in his Books, in his literature about his Cult Leader Status. He’d repeat Ruckmanite! Ruckmanite! Ruckmanite! That is what they call you. Be proud of it. It is a complement.

His Cult followers would shout “Ruckmanite!” back at him. Or at the “Pastor” of another Ruckman Church to show their allegiance.

If you do not agree that Churches that teach Dispensationalism are Counterfeit Christian Cults. You need to see what the Dictionary definition of a Cult is.

Britannica Dictionary definition of CULT- 1) A small religious group that is not part of a larger and more accepted religion and that has beliefs regarded by many people as extreme or dangerous a satanic cult. 2) A situation in which people admire and care about something or someone very much or too much: He criticizes the way journalists promote the cult of celebrity in modern America. [=the tendency of people to care too much about famous people] a cult of personality = a personality cult. 3) A small group of very devoted supporters or fans

All Ruckman Churches are Cults. All Dispensational Churches are Cults.

Ruckmanites All were / are a bunch of brain washed Cultist. They only know what Ruckman taught and what the few people he recommended taught. They do not study the Bible for themselves. It is obvious if you talk with them. They are blind followers following blind leaders.  

Like the major Cults Ruckman started his own School. His classes were mostly taught from books he wrote. Cults control everything about your lives, all the information you see.

They keep people in line, in the Cult by Fear. Fear of being belittled. Fear of loosing all of their friends. Fear of loosing their status in the Church. They Fear leaving the Church would show everyone they were never Saved. People who leave or get kicked out of the Church are often said to have been Lost Wolves.

Robert Breaker and Dr. Gene Kim (Plus hundreds of others False Teachers. Disciples of Ruckman.) are riding Ruckman’s coat tails.

In no way are they the only people who teach Dispensationalism, today. They are just the most vocal. Part of the Independent Fundamental Baptist, IFB, Cult secret Reformed Calvinists.

IFB Baptist Churches are not all Dispensational Calvinists Cults. Some are Saved Churches teaching the Truth. I know of many that are trying to separate themselves from the IFB Cult Churches.

Do Not Trust Your Christian Faith with Cultist.

Dispensationalism is a man made Lie. Beware they twist the Scriptures. Like all Cults they throw out Scriptures that do not support their beliefs.

Instructions for Pastor’s.

2nd Timothy 4:1 I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;

2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.

Verse 2 Preach the Word!!! This means to Preach the whole Bible not just some of the Books Paul wrote. It means to not add a false spin to what the Bible says. Like: “Repent, means to Repent of Sin.” Guess what Repent of Sin is not in the Bible.

The rest of the verse means to be Faithful, to always be doing your job as a Pastor, Evangelist, whatever your responsibility is. To encourage your flock. To teach correct Doctrine.

To Rebuke, Reprove people according to the Correct Doctrine. Meaning if you correct, discipline, people in the Church. Make sure you know what the correct Bible Teaching is concerning the Rebuke / Reproving you give. Do not incorrectly Rebuke people. You better be correct if you start to Rebuke people.

3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;

Verse 3 applies to all Cults. Hypocritically these Cults use this verse and verses like this one to point the finger back at the people who accuse them.

The way to distinguish the Truth from Lies is to analyze their teachings. If they do not match up with the Bible than you know that you are dealing with a Cult.

4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

The word DISPENSATION is in the King James Bible 4 times. All 4 instances are in the New Testament.

The Apostle Paul wrote the 3 books with these 4 occurrences. 1 Corinthians, Ephesians, and Colossians.

1st Corinthians 9:17 For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation of the gospel is committed unto me.

Ephesians 1:10 That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:

Ephesians 3:2 If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward:

Colossians 1:25 Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God;

What does Dispensation mean in these 4 scriptures?

Think of the word DISPENSE. Dispense means to distribute, or to give out. A candy dispenser gives out candy. A gumball machine is a dispenser of gumballs.

Dispense is the act of distribution or distributing something. To deal out. To give out. To grant something. A soap dispenser gives out soap. Do you understand what the word dispensation means now?

The definition of the word Dispensation is explained in Colossians 1:25.

Paul says, “according to the dispensation of God which is GIVEN to me for you.”

Paul is telling us that God has charge him with Dispensing (Giving. To Distribute.) the Gospel to us. Just as God had given it to him.

Paul was a DISPENSER of the Gospel. That is what we are supposed to be. DISPENSERS of the Gospel.

We are supposed to be DISPENSING the GOSPEL to as many people as we can so they might be Saved. Every Christian has the God given responsibility to be Dispensers of the Gospel. To BRING, to GIVE the GOSPEL to others. 

Explaining what the 7 Dispensations are. And why this teaching is not Biblical. Why it leads people to Hell.

Dispensational Truth by Clarence Larkin. Has influenced countless people to Falsely Believe that God divided the Bible up into different Dispensations.

Other heavily followed people who wrote on Dispensationalism were: C.I. Scofield, John Nelson Darby and Dr. Peter S. Ruckman. People / Churches who follow them are Cults.

I am not saying that everyone who Believes and follows these people are Lost. (Many are lost because most of these people believe in the False Gospel of lordship salvation.)

Being Rude is not how Christians should Behave.

Dispensational Churches have a Very Arrogant and Hateful Attitude when they speak to people outside of their Cult. They know everything. You are just an ignorant flea to them. When you point out all their False Doctrines they cannot defend their teachings with the Bible.

They will tell you to read Clarence Larkin book Dispensational Truth, or Ruckman’s. If you are talking online they will send you a link to a nearly 2 hour YouTube Video of Ruckman teaching Dispensationalism. Or another similar video.

These books and videos do nothing to prove the Bible teaches Dispensationalism. They show confusing Charts, that are suppose to confirm Dispensationalism. What they do is twist the Scriptures. Adding commentary that is not in the Bible to explain their False Teachings.

Try to Have a Dispensationalist Explain to you what they Believe.

I doubt you will find one Pastor or Church member that can explain Dispensationalism to you. Without using a book that will explain it for them. They cannot take your Bible and show you Dispensationalism in it.

The only Division God made in the Bible is the Old Testament and the New Testament. It is important to understand what a Testament is.

Hebrews 9:13 For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh:

14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

15 And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.

16 For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator.

A Testament is God’s contract with Mankind on how he is dealing with man in regard to Mankind’s Salvation.

God gave Israel the Law in the Old Testament. The Testator of the Old Testament were animal blood sacrifices. Sheep, Goats and Bulls typically.

The New Testament Testator was Jesus. Jesus Blood Atonement for the Sins of the World, began the New Testament.

In the New Testament Salvation is defined as the Gospel:

1st Corinthians 15:1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

A person is Saved by Believing in Jesus as the only way to Heaven. Believing that Jesus Death, Burial and Resurrection is the only possible payment for your Sins.

Were Old Testament believers saved by Jesus too?

Yes. Jesus’ Death, Burial and Resurrection gives Eternal Salvation for all Believers. Whether they lived before or after him.

In both the Old and New Testament Everyone is Saved By Grace, through Faith.

The Law was given to Show all Mankind that no one could keep the Law. The Law showed us that we were Sinners in need of a Saviour.

The death of animals were the Testator of the Old Testament to show that Sin required a Blood Sacrifice.

Believers in the Old Testament were not Saved by being obedient to the law of God. The Bible clearly teaches this:

Romans 3:20 “Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.”

We are not good enough to earn Heaven. That is true for us now, and it was also true for believers in the Old Testament.

Old Testament Believers were not Saved by animal sacrifices:

Hebrews 10:4 “For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.”

The Old Testament animal sacrifices pointed towards the One Sacrifice that Jesus would make on the Cross to bring Eternal Salvation.

Like New Testament Believers, Old Testament Believers were Justified by Grace through Faith.

Abraham:

Genesis 15:6 “And he believed in the Lord; and he counted it to him for righteousness.”

Galatians 3:6 Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.

7 Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.

8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.

9 So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.

10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.

11 But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.

You must understand that there is only One True Gospel. The Bible in Galatians 3 said that God preached the Gospel to Abraham.

Galatians 1:6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:

7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.

8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.

9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.

Dispensationalism’s biggest Lie is there are many different True Gospel’s that Save. Yes, they believe there are many different ways for people to be Saved.

They teach multiple plans of Salvation / multiple Gospel’s. When the Bible clearly says there is only one True Gospel / only one plan of Salvation for all of humanity.

Abraham was not Saved by Works. No one in the Bible is Saved by Works. Abraham, Plus you and I, Everyone in History, that has been and will be Saved are, Saved by Faith in Jesus without works.

The Seven Dispensations given by most Dispensationalist are:

1) Innocence – Adam under probation prior to the Fall. Ends with expulsion from the Garden of Eden. Some refer to this period as the Adamic period or the dispensation of the Adamic covenant or Adamic law.

2) Conscience – From the Fall to the Great Flood. Ends with the worldwide deluge.

3) Human Government – After the Great Flood, humanity is responsible to enact the death penalty and ends with the dispersion at the Tower of Babel. Some use the term Noahide law in reference to this period of dispensation.

4) Promise – From Abraham to Moses. Ends with the refusal to enter Canaan and the 40 years of unbelief in the wilderness. Some use the terms Abrahamic law or Abrahamic covenant in reference to this period of dispensation.

5)Law – From Moses to the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Ends with the scattering of Israel in AD70. Some use the term Mosaic law in reference to this period of dispensation.

6) Grace – From the cross to the rapture of the church. The rapture is followed by the wrath of God constituting the Great Tribulation. Some use the term Age of Grace or the Church Age for this dispensation.

7) Millennial Kingdom – A 1000 year reign of The Lord Jesus Christ on earth centered in Jerusalem, ending with God’s judgment on the final rebellion.

God did not make these divisions, they are man made.

You will not find these divisions spoken about by anyone in the Bible. Moses did not Teach Dispensationalism. No one in the Old or in the New Testament spoke of these divisions.

Jesus never referred to the Dispensation of Innocence, of Human Government etc… in any of his Sermons, or in any of his many teachings. Jesus did refer to the Old Testament Scriptures often without ever mentioning anything Dispensationalist teach.

None of Jesus Disciples taught Dispensationalism. You will not find anyone in the Bible teaching Dispensationalism. So why would you believe this man-made teaching?

Rightly Dividing The Bible does not mean to Divide the Bible anyway you choose to.

It means to understand some Bible passages are Covenants to the Nation of Israel. Those passages are not Bible Doctrine for the Christian Church. To obey the Law was an instruction to the Nation of Israel. Obeying the Law was never a requirement for Eternal Life. Obeying the Law would Bless Jews and the Nation of Israel in their Earthly Life it was not required for Salvation.

Rightly Dividing the Bible will keep people from teaching False Doctrines like Replacement Theology.

Christians need to understand that everything in the Bible was not written with the Church in mind. The Church does not replace the Nation of Israel for example.

Some Scriptures in the Bible are talking about Angels, Satan, the Supernatural Spiritual realm. You cannot apply any of these Scriptures to Christians when the focus is on Spiritual Beings not Christians. For example when the Bible says:

James 2:19 “Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.”

James 2:19 is not saying that Jesus will Save Devils. It is not saying that the Bible was written for Spiritual Beings. It does not mean that Jesus died for Spiritual Beings like Devils. Jesus died for mankind only.

False Teachers use James 2:19 to teach that Believing in Jesus only to be Saved is not enough. You can tell them correctly that they are not Rightly Dividing the Scriptures. That James 2:19 is not a Salvation passage, Jesus died for mankind not for Spiritual Beings.

Beware False Doctrines were put into your Study Bible by False Teachers.

Numerous Study Bible’s add cross-references and notes that falsely teach Dispensationalism and many other False Doctrines. The cross-references in Bibles are not from God.

Do not base your Christian Faith on the notes and cross-references in Study Bibles.

Let’s look at each False UnBiblical man-made Dispensation:

1 Innocence: Were Adam and Eve under a probation period? No. Adam and Eve were given the opportunity to Love God freely. God gave Adam and Eve a Free Will the ability to Accept or to Reject God / Jesus.

That is exactly how it is today. Everyone can either use their Free Will to Accept Jesus Free Gift of Salvation or to Reject Jesus. Adam and Eve Rejected God. Creating the need for Jesus to offer himself as a living sacrifice for the Sins of all Mankind.

2 Conscience: Seriously? Everyone from Adam to the Last person to be born is under Conscience.

The definition of Conscience:

1a: the sense of the moral goodness or blameworthiness of one’s own conduct, intentions, or character together with a feeling of obligation to do right or to be good. “She had a guilty conscience.”

When Adam’s and Eve’s eyes were opened their Consciences were immediately activated. The forbidden Fruit was the Fruit of the knowledge of Good and Evil. Which is the dictionary definition of Conscience.

Genesis 2:16 And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:

17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

3) Human Government: They associate the Tower of Babel with Human Government. That is really making things up. There were many other Cities with Human Government before the tower of Babel was built in Genesis Chapter 11.

Genesis 4:17 “And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare Enoch: and he builded a city, and called the name of the city, after the name of his son, Enoch.”

God did not scatter humanity because of Human Government. God scattered humanity because they were all acting together as one. Not because they built another City.

Genesis 11:6 And the Lord said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.

7 Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.

8 So the Lord scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.

4) Promise (Covenant): We covered most of this already. Abraham was Saved by his Faith. Abraham is the Father of the Covenant of Faith. God made Covenants / Promises with Abraham and his decedents the Jewish Nation of Israel. Many of which will happen in the future. These are not transferable to any other Nation or people’s.

5) Law: Again the Law was given to prove that Works can never Save anyone. The Law was never a Gospel. The Gospel of the Law for example. A way for people to be Saved.

6) Grace: Grace is from Genesis to Revelation. It is by God’s Grace that people are able and allowed to Live. Without God’s Grace. God would have killed Adam and Eve for rejecting him for the knowledge of Good and Evil.

Noah would not have found God’s Grace. The Flood would have killed everyone on the Earth. From the beginning to the end of the Bible we see God’s Grace. His mercy given to people. God showed Lot Grace. God could have killed Lot with the People of the plains who he destroyed with Fire and Brimstone.

God could have wiped mankind out beginning with Adam and Eve’s Sin and continuing through to the end of the Bible. God never had an obligation to Save anyone. Salvation is God’s Mercy, his Grace.

7) Millennial Kingdom: The Bible does not call the Millennium a Dispensation. The Millennial Kingdom will happen and is written about in many different books of the Bible. It will be a 1,000 year period of time.

God does not divide the Bible into Ages or Dispensations. God’s division is The Old Testament and the New Testament.

The Dispensationalist’s do not mention Eternity as one of the Dispensations Why not? It is the rest of time after the Millennium.

In conclusion God’s promises:

The content of the Faith of Old Testament Believers has two aspects:

1) Trusting in the God who created the Heavens and the Earth.

2) Living according to God’s commandments. Always trusting in God’s promises.

The most important of God’s promises was the promise of the Messiah.

Many prophecies in the Old Testament pointed towards the Messiah. There certainly was a joyful expectation of God’s Salvation through the Messiah, a prophetic understanding of it. Jesus said to the Jews:

John 8:56 “Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.”

Hebrews 9:15 “And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.”

Hebrews 9:15 proves that there is no difference in how people were Saved in the Old Testament and in the New.

1st John 2:2 “And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.”

The whole world means for every person that ever lived. Please do not Trust everything you hear, everything you read outside of the Bible.

The Bible is our Final Authority not the Fables of men.

Beware of False Teachers. Of Churches that add words to the Bible. They invent things that are not Biblical.

Of course, the most important question is have you been Saved by Jesus? Please put your trust in Jesus right now.

Please ask Jesus to Save you.

God Is In Control. God’s Sovereignty Versus Free Will.

Reformed Theology. Calvinism. God Is In Control. God’s Sovereignty Versus Free Will.

Sovereign / Sovereignty these words are not in the Bible. Calvinist Reformed Theology is based off of Unbiblical False Doctrine. Most people blindly follow Calvinist Reformed Theology. They do not think about what God is in Control actually means. God Gave Mankind Freewill. God’s Sovereignty is not at odds with man’s Free Will.

For words that do not appear in the Bible Reformed Theology (Calvinism) makes much of God being Sovereign. God’s “Sovereignty.” Reformed Calvinist Theology has invented a contradiction between God’s power and man’s Free Will that does not exist.

Reformed Calvinist R.C. Sproul said, “Our freedom is always and everywhere limited by God’s Sovereignty.” Sproul invents a problem that does not exist in the Bible.

There is no contradiction between God’s Omnipotence’s and man’s Free Will. God Omnipotence’s does not mean programming decisions. Mankind is not God’s computer toy to program as he wants to. God’s power and man’s Free Will are complimentary.

Consider these things.

Does God Control Everything? No. There are things man clearly Controls according to God.

Man controls what he does with God’s revelation, his Word found in the Bible, in the Holy Scriptures.

John 5:40 “And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.”

This is the perfect Scripture where God explains man’s Free Will. Which Reformed Calvinist Theology Rejects, completely Denies.

Man, has the Free Will to Reject or to Accept Jesus. To come to him for Salvation, Eternal Life. Or to Reject Jesus Free Gift of Eternal Life. This is the point of John 5:40.

Man controls where he puts his trust.

Proverbs 3:5 “Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.”

Proverbs Chapter 3 Totally Destroys God Is In Control False Doctrine.

Proverbs 3:1 My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments:

Verse 1, Man is not compelled, forced to obey God’s Law. Obeying God’s Law is a chose to do or not to do. God does not Control Man’s Free Will to Chose.

2 For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.

Verse 2, Obeying God’s Law will give a person long life and peace. Obviously everyone does not live a long life and have a peaceful life. Why not because people can chose not to Obey God’s Law.

3 Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:

Verse 3, Let, describes a decision a choice people are allowed to make. We can Let, allow something in our lives or not allow. Let here means to Obey, Let, or Not Let. To Not Obey.

4 So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.

Verse 4, A reward to those who choose to Obey God.

5 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

Verse 5, Is asking us to Trust in the Lord. Which means we have the Free Will not to Trust in the Lord.

6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

Verse 6, If a person chooses to acknowledge God. God will direct their paths. Notice it does not Say God will command and control thy paths. Directions are something a person can choose to follow or choose to ignore. Having Directions means nothing if you ignore them.

7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil.

Verse 7, The Word Be is a Request NOT A DEMAND. A DEMAND, A COMMAND is: DO NOT. Be not: Again a Choice that God is Asking.

God is Asking for us to not trust in our own wisdom. He is asking us to Fear the Lord and to Depart from Evil. Everything here is just God Asking. God is giving us Choices. God is not Controlling us. He is simply Asking. These are NOT Demands from God.

8 It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.

Verse 8, Benefits given to people who choose to Obey God.

9 Honour the Lord with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:

Verse 9, God is requesting not demanding.

10 So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.

Verse 10, More rewards for choosing to Obey God.

11 My son, despise not the chastening of the Lord; neither be weary of his correction:

Verse 11, To chasten is to punish people who chose not to Obey God. Which again tells us that God is not in Control. He allows us to be Free to choose to Obey him. Or to Choose to Disobey him and be Chastened.

12 For whom the Lord loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.

Verse 12, If God was in Control than there would never be a need to correct any of his Children. If God was in Control we would have no Choice in what we did.

13 Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.

Verse 13, To find something you have to choose to look for it. If God was in Control we would not have the opportunity, the choice to find things. God would just Control, Direct everything we do.

14 For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.

Verse 14, More Rewards for Obeying God. You do not get Rewarded if God is in Control. A Reward is something Earned. If God is in Control you cannot Earn anything for Obeying him. You have no Choice but to Obey him.

Man controls who his friends are.

1st Corinthians 5:11 “But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.”

Man controls his emotions.

Proverbs 16:32 “He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city.”

Man controls his rejoicing.

1st Thessalonians 5:16 Rejoice evermore, prayer life: 17 Pray without ceasing, gratitude: 18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. We could literally go on and on.

Again, Reformed Theology, Calvinism has a False dichotomy of man’s Free Will and God’s Sovereignty.

The two are not mutually exclusive or even Contradictory. While a King may be Sovereign. He is not personally Controlling any Individuals’ Decisions in his realm over which he is Sovereign.

According to Webster’s 1828 dictionary. Sovereign means Supreme in Power; possessing Supreme Dominion; as a Sovereign Ruler of the Universe.

There is no debate that God is Omnipotent – All Powerful.

But being All Powerful is not the same thing as Control. Notice the instruction to Obey the Government’s Sovereign powers.

Romans 13:1 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. 2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.

Did you notice that a Sovereign Power can be Resisted? Did you notice that what God ordained can be Ignored? Furthermore did you notice that Sovereign Power means Judgment of decisions, NOT CONTROL of decisions?

God’s Omnipotence is seen in Judgment NOT IN CONTROL.

Romans 14:12 “So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God. And this judgment,”

Revelation 20:12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. 13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.

Man’s Free Will and God’s Omnipotence have a cause and effect relationship.

Not a contradictory relationship. God’s Judgment is a result of man’s wandering Will. God will pass all man’s work under His judgment. Because man has made his own decisions based on the Free Will God gave us. Is it really that difficult to understand?

A person is not Guilty until they have broken the Law. People have the Choice to Obey God. Or the Choice to Disobey God. When a Person Disobeys God they are Guilty. But they are not Guilty until they have Disobeyed God. God’s Judgment is only necessary because we have Free Will to Choose. 

Reformed Calvinist Theology Has Evil Beliefs.

In Reformed Calvinist Theology, the False Doctrine of God’s Sovereignty leads to two particularly ungodly strains of defilement. One is there is no need to: Pray, for Evangelism, for Preaching, etc.

None of these things are necessary with a God who is in Control. A God who is in Control does not allow Free Will. No one can Choose to Believe on Jesus. Or to Reject Jesus. In Calvinism God decides who Goes to Heaven and who goes to Hell. This is very EVIL and not Biblical.

Reformed Calvinist are Hypocrites who do not even believe what they teach. They are vocal Evangelists always promoting their False Teachings. They dominate the TV, Churches. The Book Stores. The internet. Every possible outlet they can use.

Their False Theology says God is in Control. That Man cannot make any independent decisions. God decides everything. If they believed this they would not be the biggest sales people in the world pushing their beliefs.

Calvinism’s False Religion: “God is in Control” makes God Evil.

Makes God responsible for all the Sin people commit. For everyone in Hell. For everything horrible that happens. This is Absurd 100% unbiblical, not Biblical.

The other thing is the Smug Pride of Reformed Theologians that accuse their opposition of arrogantly trying to understand God. Because they deny what the Bible teaches about God. They have invented their own False god.

Reformed Calvinist Theology has corrupted the vast Majority of all “Christian” Churches.

Especially sad is all the Baptist Churches teaching Calvinism.

Shockingly IFB, Independent Fundamental Baptist, Churches are huge Calvinist’s. Not every IFB Church, but almost all. It is almost impossible to find a Saved IFB Church.

An IFB Church that Teaches the Gospel only for Salvation. I have recently visited several and they have all been Reformed Calvinist. They do not promote this.

They hide the fact they follow Reformed Calvinist Theology. You will not find them admit it on their websites. But if you visit their Churches. Hear their preaching. And see the books and tracts they sell. You will quickly see that they are Calvinist Churches.

I confronted these Pastor’s. “OK, you teach Calvinism.” Replies: “I understand why you say this.” “John Calvin is a great Church Father.” “This Church believes in Reformed Calvinism.”

People Believe, “God is in Control.” and “God controls everything.” Because these statements are Repeated to death on TV. In the music they listen to. In the books they read. And at the Churches they attend.

God is in Control is a Lie that False Teachers say.

The Bible neither says or teaches: God is in Control – God is Sovereign. What God does say is that all of man’s work will pass under His Judgment. Sovereignty is not being in Control.

It is the Authority and the Power to pass Judgment. Sovereignty is the final word on any decision whether good or bad. Not the programming of decisions.

You have the Free Will to Believe on Jesus or to Reject Jesus. Please Ask Jesus to Save you right now if you have not.

Romans 10:8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;

9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.

13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Willful Sin? Explaining Hebrews Chapter 10.

Willful Sin? You cannot Sin Accidently. Read Hebrews Chapter 10. 

Think about yourself. Your Sins. Many Sins we commit we have to work up to doing them. We dream about Sinning. We do not accidently Sin. All Sin is Willful Sin. A well known Truth. “Shelly accidently got Pregnant.” The Dad and Mom say, “Son Shelly is Pregnant because she had Sex. Sex is an intentional act, not an accident.”

Willful Sin? Salvation Explained.

Ephesians 1:12 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.
13 In whom ye also [trusted], after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,

Ephesians 1:12,13 clearly explains how to be Saved. Salvation = Eternal Life. Sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise is Eternal Security.

(“…who first trusted in Christ.”) Trust = Faith

Salvation happens as soon as a person Trusts, puts their Faith in Jesus only to Save them. Willful Sin Does Not Take Away Your Salvation.

Faith / Trust / Belief in the Gospel = Saved from Hell. The Book of Romans has the most Salvation verses in it. Romans does not Say you will Go to Hell for Willful Sin. Romans Chapters 3, 5, and 10 are very Powerful. It is Essential for the Soul Winner to Memorize these Chapters.

Romans 3:22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.
28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.

The Bible way to Heaven
The Bible way to Heaven

The Gospel.

1 Corinthians 15:1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

Sealed = Eternal Life = Eternal Security = You can never Lose your Salvation.

Ephesians 4:30 “And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.”

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.”

1 John 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.
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 of his Son.
11 And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
12 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.
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.

Salvation is Eternal, Never Ending. Eternal Life Means Willful Sin will Not Take Away Your Salvation.

Numerous False Teachers: Pastor’s, Evangelists, Writers, and people in general. Teach that a Christian can lose their Salvation. They Claim they do not commit Willful Sin. They are Liars. Every Sin we commit is Willful Sin. These Counterfeit Christians, Mock OSAS, Once Saved Always Saved. They Deny Eternal Security.

Believe what the Bible teaches. Not people who twist the Scriptures. The Bible does not contradict itself.

Hebrews 10:26 is a popular verse False Teachers use. It is their Willful Sin Text verse. To Falsely teach that a Christian can Lose their Salvation.

Hebrews 10:26 “For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,”

This verse, this passage Does Not say a Saved person has Lost, or can Lose their Salvation. By committing Willful Sin.

Paul is saying: I have told you it is a Sin to continue with Temple sacrifices. If we wilfully Sin. (Keep going to the Temple. For animal sacrifices. After I have told you not to.) There remaineth no more Sacrifice for Sins.  The continued Temple sacrifices Mocked Jesus one time Blood Atonement for Sins. There is No More Sacrifices for Sin. Because Jesus Already made the One and Only Needed Blood Sacrifice. For All of the Sins of the World.

Hebrews 10: “12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;”

Hebrews Chapter 10 teaches Jesus is the only Sacrifice for Sins. His Sacrifice was a One time Only Sacrifice. To Eternally Pay for All of the Sins of the World. Thus the Temple Sacrifices for Sin, is Not an Actual Sacrifice for Sins.

To continue with the Temple sacrifices was willfully Sinning against God. This Act was Denying Jesus Blood Atonement.

Never base any doctrine on only one verse. Willful Sin is not unforgivable. The only way to understand the Bible is by understanding the context of the verse(s) you are studying.

The purpose of Hebrews Chapter 10 is to Stop Believing Jews from continuing in the temple ritual. Jesus Fulfilled this already. In his Incarnation, his Life, and his Blood Atonement. It is Wrong to continue with an elaborate system of rituals. Which spoke of the coming Savior. Foretold his future Death on the Cross, His Burial, and His Resurrection to Save mankind. After Jesus already Fulfilled this.

Still performing these rituals is saying, that Jesus was not the Messiah. And His Death was Not Valid. Doing so was WILLFUL SIN. There is no more Sacrifice for Sin. Jesus already made the Only Eternal Life Saving Sacrifice for Sin.

Continuing with the Foreshadowing Temple Sacrifices after Jesus Blood Atonement was WILLFUL SIN. This practice Denied and Disowned Jesus. It Destroyed the Faith of Those who Persisted in it.  

Further Explanation of Hebrews Chapter 10 and of Willful Sin. 

Hebrews 10 is teaching that the Law Foreshadowed Jesus coming Salvation. His coming Sacrifice for Sin, for all Sin. It teaches Jesus one sacrifice for Sin was enough to pay for the Sins of the Whole World. That to Continue with Temple sacrifices was to deny Jesus Saving Blood Atonement.  

Hebrews 10:1 For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.

2 For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins.

3 But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year.

4 For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.

5 Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me:

6 In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure.

7 Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God.

8 Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law;

9 Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second.

10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

11 And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins:

12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;

By continuing in the Jewish temple ritual, these Jews were committing Sin. Every time they participated in an animal sacrifice. They were saying that Jesus Died in Vain. This really is “Trampling” Him under foot. Regarding His Blood, His Death on the Cross, as “Unclean”. This is “Violently Insulting” the Spirit who testifies to Him and to the Validity of His Atonement.

Hebrews 10:19 Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus,
20 By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;
21 And having an high priest over the house of God;
22 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.
23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)
24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:
25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,

27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.
28 He that despised Moses’ law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:
29 Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?
30 For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people.

31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

32 But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after ye were illuminated, ye endured a great fight of afflictions;
33 Partly, whilst ye were made a gazingstock both by reproaches and afflictions; and partly, whilst ye became companions of them that were so used.
34 For ye had compassion of me in my bonds, and took joyfully the spoiling of your goods, knowing in yourselves that ye have in heaven a better and an enduring substance.
35 Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward.
36 For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.
37 For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry.
38 Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.
39 But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.

Paul was dealing with Jewish believers who wanted to return to the Law to avoid persecution. The passage then is two-fold.

First to deal with Apostasy (10:19-25). Second to provide Encouragement to Grow Spiritually (10:32-39).

It is not Apostasy towards Judaism, it is Apostasy from Jesus Christ. Apostasy away from The Lord Jesus Christ who is the Final and only Saving Sacrifice.

Paul warns: Willful Sin, is a Presumptuous Sin Like in:

Numbers 15:30 But the soul that doeth [ought] presumptuously, [whether he be] born in the land, or a stranger, the same reproacheth the LORD; and that soul shall be cut off from among his people.
31 Because he hath despised the word of the LORD, and hath broken his commandment, that soul shall utterly be cut off; his iniquity [shall be] upon him.

Understanding that presumptuous sins had no sacrifice is critical to understanding the text at hand.

The Law of Moses had sacrifices for any number of Sins outlined in Leviticus. 

If the sin was presumptuous, done intentionally, there was no sacrifice. The individual was now under the direct judgment of God Almighty.

“…but a fearful expectation of judgment, and fiery indignation which will devour the adversaries.” – Heb. 10:27.  Jews and Gentile would have been well acquainted with the Levitical law stated. They would have known that Physical Death not Eternal Damnation was the punishment.

Judgment, Fiery indignation, is a picture of a Jealous God. God was forced, because of His Holiness, to deal with his children severely (Heb. 12:6).

We are held secure by the power and promises of God (John 10:28). The judgment in view cannot be Hell / the Lake of Fire.

The judgment is physical death not Eternal Damnation. The promises of the Law were never Eternal Salvation. Keeping the Law was to assure God’s continued Blessing in their Life. Law Keeping was not a Contract to Heaven.

In fact, noticeably absent in all the warnings is Hell / the Lake of Fire. There is a thought among Christians that God’s Love will override his justice. That his Love will override his holiness in dealing with His people. However, there are many examples where God dealt with His people severely.

Numbers 11:1 And when the people complained, it displeased the Lord: and the Lord heard it; and his anger was kindled; and the fire of the Lord burnt among them, and consumed them that were in the uttermost parts of the camp. 2 And the people cried unto Moses; and when Moses prayed unto the Lord, the fire was quenched. 3 And he called the name of the place Taberah: because the fire of the Lord burnt among them.

Ananias and Sapphira were put to death for their Sin. (Acts 5:1-11).

Acts 5:4 Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God. 5 And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these things.

These are examples of physical death as the Judgment of God.

An example from the Old Testament and an example from the New Testament. Notice the Judgment against them was only physical Death. There was no sentence of Eternal Damnation.

All too often, Christians immediately think of Fire and / or udgment in anger as speaking of Hell. This would be akin to believing that every time blood was spoken of in scripture, it was Christ’s blood.

Christians Judged: (see Rom. 14:10-12; 1 Cor. 3:11-15; 2 Cor. 5;10) This may or may not be a time of rejoicing for that individual at the Judgment Seat of Christ. It will not be a Judgment that ends in Eternal Damnation. Jesus Judgment at the Judgment Seat of Christ is not a Judgment on Sins. It is a judgment on Christian Service. Again all Judgment by God in the Bible is not for Eternal Damnation.

The indignation spoken of in Hebrews Chapter 10 is Not for Eternal Condemnation. It is to cause a Saved Sinner to change their conduct. This is an expression of God’s Love.

Hebrews 12:5 And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him:

6 For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. 7 If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?

8 But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.

9 Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live? 10 For they verily for a few days chastened us after their own pleasure; but he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness.

11 Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.

In Conclusion.

Hebrews 10:26-27 is not a warning against Loss of Salvation. Neither is it discussing Unbelievers, Hellfire, and Persistent Sin.

This passage is to believers that were leaving Jesus for Judaism to avoid persecution. While they thought persecution from man was bad. Paul makes them aware that God dealing with them could be just as bad or even more severe.

Paul is imploring them to recognize the significance and the power of Jesus in their lives. He is attempting to motivate them to grow to maturity.

Unrepentant Sin Explained.

Unrepentant Sin is not in The Bible. 

False Teachers make up Words LIKE UNREPENTANT. They Say if you have UNREPENTANT SIN when YOU DIE YOU WILL GO TO HELL. Guess What That Is NOT In the Bible.

Matthew 9:2 And, behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said unto the sick of the palsy; Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee.

Jesus has Forgiven All of the Sins of the World. Jesus was Crucified because he Forgave Sins, Raised the Dead Proved he was God.

3 And, behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves, This man blasphemeth.

4 And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts?

5 For whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and walk?

6 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then saith he to the sick of the palsy,) Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house.

7 And he arose, and departed to his house.

8 But when the multitudes saw it, they marvelled, and glorified God, which had given such power unto men.

Luke 23:35 “Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.”

John 1:29 “The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.”

Revelation 1:5 “And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,” 

Matthew 1:21 “And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.”

Colossians 2:14 “Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;”

1st John 2:2 “And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.”

Hebrews 10:12 “But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;”

1st Peter 3:18 “For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:”

1st John 3:5 “And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.”

No one Goes to Hell for Sin. Jesus Died for Everyone’s Sins. False Teachers are OBSESSED WITH SIN. People Go to HELL for Rejecting Jesus Free Gift of Salvation. NOT FOR SIN.

Luke Chapter 17 is used to teach the Unbiblical, “Unrepentant Sin.”

Luke 17:1 Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come!

2 It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.

3 Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.

4 And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.

5 And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith.

6 And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you.

7 But which of you, having a servant plowing or feeding cattle, will say unto him by and by, when he is come from the field, Go and sit down to meat?

8 And will not rather say unto him, Make ready wherewith I may sup, and gird thyself, and serve me, till I have eaten and drunken; and afterward thou shalt eat and drink?

9 Doth he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I trow not.

10 So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do.

Cultists use Luke 17:1-10 as the cornerstone of their False Doctrine “Unrepentant Sin.”

They Falsely Claim. If we do not Repent of all of our Sins. Immediately after we commit them than we will go to Hell. Because we have Unrepentant Sin. This is not true. Repent of Sin is not even in the Bible.

False Teachers use this passage to Teach if you have UNREPENTANT Sin you will go to Hell. If you Believe their FALSE Repent of Sin Gospel you will GO TO HELL.

Have you ever heard the saying Ignorance of the Law is no Excuse. This is True with God’s Law (Sin) and with man’s Law.  A Police Officer will give you a speeding ticket for going over the speed limit even it there are no signs posted. You are required to know the speed limit even if it is not posted.

Each State has a Driver’s handbook with many different Laws in it. That drivers must learn. And pass a test on in order to get their drivers license.  Depending on your state. The speed limit in a residential neighborhood and in a business district might both be 25 miles an hour. Like in California. 

We all Sin not even realizing what we are doing.

In Colorado the Law is 25 mph in residential neighborhoods. 30 mph in business districts. The Police will give you a ticket for going 3 mph over the speed limit. When I was stopped the Police Officer told me they were ticketing people starting at 3 mph over. To save children’s lives because they played in the streets and some have been killed.

Once right after I crossed the State line. I got a ticket for going 65 mph in a 55 mph zone. When the Police Officer came to my car window. He was laughing: “Son this is an old fashioned speed trap. On this side of the state-line the speed limit is 55 mph. Also the speed limit sign is posted a half mile down this road. It is true ignorance of the Law is never an excuse.”

Biblically what is a Sin and what is not a Sin is different for everyone.

Romans 14:19 Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.

20 For meat destroy not the work of God. All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eateth with offence.

21 It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak.

22 Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth.

23 And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin.

Romans 14 tells us if we think something is a Sin than it is a Sin.

It is a Sin even if God does not consider it a Sin. It is a Sin to do something that is not a Sin in front of someone who thinks it is a Sin.

Many Christians think caffeine is a Drug. So it must be a Sin to eat or drink anything with caffeine in it. If you obey the Bible. You will not consume anything with caffeine in it. In front of someone who considers that a Sin. So you do not offend them.

It is A Sin to Do Anything without Faith.

An example would be driving in rush hour traffic if that scares you. That would be not having Faith to know that God will protect you. Fear is having a lack of Faith.

You are lying if you say that everything you do is by Faith. You are also lying if you say that you Ask God to Forgive you for everything you do that is not by Faith.

More verses about our Sins:

James 17:15 For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.

16 But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil.

17 Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.

If you say: “OK, everyone. Tomorrow we will all have to help prepare for the upcoming audit.”

That is a Sin to say.  Because you are assuming you will be alive to be at work tomorrow.  This is what James 17:15 means.  Be honest, you do not bring your Christian speak into the workplace.

You should say: (I have never heard anything like this by a Christian in the Workplace.) “Lord willing…”

If you did speak like this constantly at work. Your Supervisor would tell you to keep your Christian beliefs out of the Work place.  It is Sin to tailor your speech to fit into the workplace.  We all do it, weather you will admit it or not. Do you ask God to Forgive you every time you slip up this way? You are lying if you say yes.

So many things we do. Are so automatic. We do not even realize half of the things we say or do. Let alone realize that some of our speech, thoughts, and actions are Sinful.

James 17:16 “But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil.” 

Boasting Is A Popular Sin for Christians. Boasting about our Christian Service.  Every time I am at Church. Or when I am online on social media. I see or hear something like this:  “Praise Jesus, I had the opportunity to witness to my boss today…”

This is a Sin.  You are praising yourself. To everyone who is listening to you. Or who sees your social media post.  People will say, I only say this to encourage other people to be a good witness.  Guess what there are numerous Bible passages that tells us to be good witnesses.  We do not need to boast and tell the world what a good witness we are.

James 17:17 “Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.”  This is very difficult because, how many times do we see an opportunity to do good but we pass it up. 

We all miss out on opportunities to Do Good. To Help people who need Help.

We do not always help someone when we can. For many different reasons.  We might be afraid of offending them.  We might be afraid of helping a woman. Because you think she might get the wrong idea. To God these are just our excuses. Excuses we use to keep ourselves from doing what we know to do.

You are lying to yourself. If you think you know what every possible Sin is. You are also Lying if you say. That since you have been a Christian. You have Asked God to Forgive you. For each and every individual Sin you have committed.

Have you asked everyone you have wronged in your life to forgive you?  An honest answer would be no.  When you mess up at Work. Do you ask your Boss to Forgive you? Your coworkers? You might apologize. But I seriously doubt you ask for their Forgiveness.

Repent of Sin?

Luke 16:30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham: but if one went unto them from the dead, they will repent.

31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.

Notice Verse 30 does not say to Repent of Sin.  In fact there is not even one verse in the Bible that says to Repent of Sin.  Verse 31 tells us that the only way to be Saved is through our Faith in the Bible.

Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.

Romans 10:8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;

9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.

13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

We are Saved by Believing on Jesus only to Save us.  Not by Repenting of Sin which is not even in the Bible.  Nothing in Luke Chapter 17 says that to Be Saved a person must 1st Repent of Sin.

We must be careful with New Born Christians.

Luke 17 verses 1-2. Jesus is warning us about offending those who are New Christians. People who are newly Saved Christians. They are very fragile and overly sensitive.

Luke 17:1 Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come!

2 It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.

We are to strive to be patient with new Christians. We must gently teach them so they will understand and not be offended or overwhelmed. It is like feeding a newborn baby from the breast at the beginning.

Be Like Little Children, Jesus Said.

Matthew 18:1 At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?

2 And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them,

3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

5 And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.

6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

7 Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh!

Learning Christian Doctrine (A Bible Truth, What the Bible Teaches) takes time. 

A person who is a Baby Christian cannot comprehend every Bible Truth all at once.

1st Corinthians 3:1 And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.

2 I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.

Luke 17:3 Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.

Repent does not mean to Repent of Sin.  This passage does not say to Repent of Sin.

Verse 3 Explained: “Brother, you know it offends me when you bring Coke over to my house.” It is not a Sin to drink Coke. It is a Sin if you drink Coke in front of someone you know is offended by it. You need to say you are Sorry and ask for Forgiveness. It is easy to forget everything that might offend someone. Even things they told you that offends them.

Being Sorry. Having Sorrow and Grief. Causes a person to Repent. Causes them to Change their Mind. Change your mind is the Bible definition of Repent, Repentance.

What is not a Sin to you. Can be a Sin to other people.  So we need to be sensitive to other people’s feelings.

Genesis 6:6 “And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.”

If you read Genesis Chapter 6 you will see that God was Sorry that he made man. He Repented that he made man. He changed his mind about making man.  At first he thought it was a Good idea. Than he Repented and changed his mind. To thinking it was a Bad idea. God was going to Kill all of mankind. But he changed his mind when he looked at Noah.

Genesis 6:1 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,

2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.

3 And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.

4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.

5 And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

6 And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.

7 And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.

8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.

Do You Understand?

Luke 17:4 “And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him.”

Notice, this verse is not using the word Sin, to Repent of Sin.  Sin is not mentioned because you can accidentally trespass against someone without even Sinning.

Until you know that something is offensive to someone else. A trespass, if you do it. It is not a Sin.  Simply put Christians are to Always Forgive Each other.  When we Wrong someone we are to be Sorry and to Ask for Forgiveness.

Ephesians 4:32 “And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.”

Again just because we might Wrong someone. It does not have to be a Sin that we committed.  All we have to do. Is to do something that offends them. Even if it was an accident.  If someone is Sorry. And asks us to Forgive them. We must Forgive them. No matter how many times they have wronged us.

Luke 17:5-10 does not need any explanation. The meaning is clear.

A Cashless Society? Do Not Fear A Cashless Society The Bible Does Not Prophesize It.

If you are Saved. If You are a Christian. You are Not supposed to Fear a Cashless Society. 666 The Mark of the Beast. The Great Tribulation.

Lying Satanic People are Spreading Fear All over the Internet in Magazines, in News Papers, and in Movies. About a Cashless society. About 666 The Mark of the Beast, A Cashless Society.

Matthew 10:25 If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his household?

26 Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.

27 What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops.

28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

29 Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father.

30 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.

31 Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.

Jesus said to FEAR NOT!!!!

Christians are not supposed to FEAR, The Book of Revelation Which Does Not Say There Will Be A Cashless Society.

Revelation 13:13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,

14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.

15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.

16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

This passage does not call for the Elimination of Cash, A Cashless Society.

A Cashless Society is not even Implied. It just says you Cannot Buy or Sell without the Mark of the Beast 666. So Cash Can Be Used.

Also, The Mark of the Beast 666 is not a microchip. People have an irrational fear of microchips. We are told the government wants to microchip us. So, we can be tracked. All of our information will be on this chip. This is not the Mark of the Beast.

The Mark of the Beast is a Specific NUMBER, 666. A NUMBER. Not Trillions of different numbers used to track everyone on this Earth. This Number is the Number of a Man. It is Satan’s NUMBER. 

The Mark of the Beast 666 only happens when Satan is in Control.

When Satan Is in Charge of the entire Earth. Is Satan now in Charge? This only happens 3 ½ years into the Great Tribulation. Are we in the Great Tribulation now?

If you are Saved. A Christian. You will not be around here on the Earth for the Mark of the Beast.

1st Thessalonians 4:13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. 15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive [and] remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. 16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17 Then we which are alive [and] remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

God Protects his people from Satan:

During the Great Tribulation Satan is in Total Control. It is Hell On The Earth!!!! Millions of People are Murdered By Satan!!!!

Christians will not be on the Earth During the Great Tribulation. If You are Saved You will be Taken Up Into the Air in the Rapture Before the Great Tribulation Happens. The Bible is 100% Clear about this!!!

The Rapture is Happy Comforting Words!!!!

1st Corinthians 15:49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.

50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.

51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,

52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.

55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?

The Entire Bible is Written to Show Mankind that Jesus Loves us.

Jesus Suffered Bled and Died for the whole world. He did not Save us to allow us to go through the Hell of the Great Tribulation.

2nd Thessalonians 2:1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and [by] our gathering together unto him,
2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for [that day shall not come], except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.
7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth [will let], until he be taken out of the way.
8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
9 [Even him], whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
13 But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth:
14 Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.
16 Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given [us] everlasting consolation and good hope through grace,
17 Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work.

The Above Passage Tells Christians to have Comfort in their Hearts because they will be Gathered Up to Be With Jesus Before The Great Tribulation. To Believe that Christians will be On the Earth During the Great Tribulation is to Call God A LIAR, it is to DENY The Bible.

Do not Fear a Cashless Society, 666 The Mark of the Beast. Do not Fear the Great Tribulation. That is if you are SAVED. If you have not asked Jesus to Save you. You should be AFRAID. Very AFRAID.

To be Saved from Hell: Believe on Jesus Only to Save You. Please Ask Jesus to Save You Right Now.

1st Corinthians 15:1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

Romans 10:8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; 9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. 12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. 13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

2nd Chronicles 7:14 Explained

The True Meaning of 2nd Chronicles 7:14.

2nd Chronicles 7:14 “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”

“If my people,” The only people God claims as his in the Bible are the Jews. The Nation of Israel. No other Nation. No other Religion. “Christians” Falsely claim this verse for themselves. This verse is not even a Salvation Verse.

The Context of 2nd Chronicles 7:14 is a Covenant of God with the Nation of Israel. This passage is Not a Salvation Passage.

1st Lie. My People are Christians.

2nd Lie. 2nd Chronicles 7:14 can be applied to the United States of America and other Nations.

3rd Lie. 2nd Chronicles 7:14 teaches to Repent of Sin, To Turn From Sin, To Forsake Sin to be Saved. This False Teaching is sending countless people to Hell.

The Context of 2nd Chronicles 7:14 is a Covenant of God with the Nation of Israel. This passage is not a Salvation Passage.

This Passage Does Not Say to Repent of Sin. To Forsake Sin. Or To Turn from Sin to be Saved. It Does Not promise Salvation, Eternal Life. It is Not a Salvation passage.

The Bible clearly explains Salvation.

Salvation is 100% the work of the Lord Jesus Christ:

Believe the Gospel Only for Salvation. Believe on Jesus.

1st Corinthians 15:1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;

2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.

3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;

4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

How to read the Bible with correct understanding:

When considering any scripture verse. The reader must put it into context. Who is the writer speaking to? What are the requirements? If any?

The context of 2nd Chronicles 7:14 starts in 2nd Chronicles Chapter 6.

Solomon’s “end of praying” was the prayer in 2nd Chronicles Chapter 6 for the dedication of the Temple. Notice the context. God is speaking to Israel and no one else.

2nd Chronicles 6:1 Then said Solomon, The Lord hath said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.

2 But I have built an house of habitation for thee, and a place for thy dwelling for ever.

3 And the king turned his face, and blessed the whole congregation of Israel: and all the congregation of Israel stood.

4 And he said, Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, who hath with his hands fulfilled that which he spake with his mouth to my father David, saying,

5 Since the day that I brought forth my people out of the land of Egypt I chose no city among all the tribes of Israel to build an house in, that my name might be there; neither chose I any man to be a ruler over my people Israel:

6 But I have chosen Jerusalem, that my name might be there; and have chosen David to be over my people Israel.

7 Now it was in the heart of David my father to build an house for the name of the Lord God of Israel.

8 But the Lord said to David my father, Forasmuch as it was in thine heart to build an house for my name, thou didst well in that it was in thine heart:

9 Notwithstanding thou shalt not build the house; but thy son which shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house for my name.

10 The Lord therefore hath performed his word that he hath spoken: for I am risen up in the room of David my father, and am set on the throne of Israel, as the Lord promised, and have built the house for the name of the Lord God of Israel.

11 And in it have I put the ark, wherein is the covenant of the Lord, that he made with the children of Israel.

God is Speaking to the Nation of Israel in all of these verses.

“…blessed the whole congregation of Israel.” vs. 3 

“…have chosen David to be over my people Israel.” vs. 6 

“And said, O LORD God of Israel,…” vs. 14 

“…O LORD God of Israel,” vs. 16

“And if thy people Israel be put to the worse before the enemy, because they have sinned against thee; and shall return and confess thy name, and pray…” vs. 24

“…forgive the sin of thy people Israel, and bring them again unto the land which thou gavest to them and to their fathers.” vs. 25

“…they have sinned against thee; yet if they pray toward this place, and confess thy name, and turn from their sin…” vs. 26 

“…forgive the sin of thy servants, and of thy people Israel…” vs. 27 

Yet if they…turn and pray unto thee in the land of their captivity, saying, We have sinned…” vs. 37 

“If they return to thee with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their captivity…” vs. 38 

“…forgive thy people which have sinned against thee.” vs. 39

It is Imperative that we recognize Solomon’s prayer is for the Nation of Israel ONLY, No Other Nation.

2nd Chronicles 6:14 “And said, O LORD God of Israel, there is no God like thee in the heaven, nor in the earth; which keepest covenant, and shewest mercy unto thy servants, that walk before thee with all their hearts”

God, “which keepest covenant,” refers to the Mosaic Covenant. For example, when God promises a New Covenant in Jeremiah 31:31-34, we are told that Israel was unfaithful in obeying the (Mosaic Covenant Jeremiah 31:32) but God was faithful in keeping His part of the covenant.

Jeremiah 31:31 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:

32 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the Lord:

33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the Lord, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.

34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the Lord; for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.

Deuteronomy Chapter 6 details commands God told Israel to Obey.

Deuteronomy 6:1 Now these are the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments, which the Lord your God commanded to teach you, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go to possess it: 2 That thou mightest fear the Lord thy God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son’s son, all the days of thy life; and that thy days may be prolonged.

The surrounding context of Deuteronomy 6:1-25. Is the promise of blessing and cursing. Which is dependent on the obedience or disobedience of Israel. See Deuteronomy 28:1-14 for Blessings. And 28:15-68 and for Cursings.

There is the Promise of Blessing for Israel. Not for the Salvation of their Souls. If they Followed the Commands of the Mosaic Covenant. This didn’t Require Perfection. But that a Majority of the Nation would be Sincere Followers of Jehovah God.

The Davidic Covenant which is the “Seed” Promise. Of the Abrahamic Covenant.

Found in: Genesis 12:22 “And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:”

2nd Chronicles 6:16 “Now therefore, O LORD God of Israel, keep with thy servant David my father that which thou hast promised him, saying, There shall not fail thee a man in my sight to sit upon the throne of Israel; yet so that thy children take heed to their way to walk in my law, as thou hast walked before me.”In Psalm 89, Solomon appeals to God for His mercies based on the unconditional, eternal promise of the Davidic Covenant:

Psalm 89:26 He shall cry unto me, Thou art my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation.

27 Also I will make him my firstborn, higher than the kings of the earth.

28 My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and my covenant shall stand fast with him.

29 His seed also will I make to endure for ever, and his throne as the days of heaven.

30 If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments;

31 If they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments;

32 Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes.

33 Nevertheless my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail.

34 My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.

35 Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David.

36 His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before me.

37 It shall be established for ever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven. Selah.

Notice that God’s Covenant with David (vs. 35) is Eternal. (vs. 28.) Not Dependent on Israel being obedient to God. (vs. 30 – 34) And that the Throne of David will Last Forever. (vs. 36) Based on God’s Faithfulness. His Word. And His Holiness. (vs. 33-35). The Unconditional Nature of the Davidic Covenant. Is consistent with the Unconditional Nature of the Abrahamic Covenant. 

The two covenants are important for understanding 2nd Chronicles 7:14. The Mosaic Covenant was Conditional and the Davidic Covenant is Unconditional. Neither Covenant was to Save people from going to Hell. Neither was to anyone other than the Nation of Israel. The Jewish people. Both Covenants are Everlasting, they will never end.

2nd Chronicles 7:14 is for Israel. Not for any Other Nation.

“Christians” in the USA. Twist the meaning of this verse. False Teachers use 2nd Chronicles 7:14 to teach the False Gospel Repent of Sins to Be Saved. To Turn From Sin to Be Saved. And To Forsake Sin to be Saved. To Teach God has Forever Forsaken Israel.

Please Beware of False Teacher’s. Who claim God has Forever Forsaken the Jewish people. The Nation of Israel. They Falsely teach all of the Covenant’s God had with Israel now belong to Christians.

No. People in the United States of America.

God will Not Bless you as a Nation. For Turning from your Wicked Ways. But there is a promise from God of a Blessing for the USA as a Nation. In Genesis 12:3. Actually this promise applies to every Nation. God has Greatly Blessed the USA because of this.

Genesis 12:1 Now the Lord had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee:

2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:

3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

Acts 2:38 Explained.

Acts 2:38 Does Not teach you have to Repent of your Sins to be Saved. It does Not teach that Water Baptism is Required for Salvation.

Why is there a problem with people correctly understanding Acts 2:38? It is very simple and straight forward verse.

Acts 2:38 “Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.”

When you read Acts 2:38. Understand the Bible Definition of Repent. Is to Change your mind. Also there is No Water in Acts 2:38’s Baptism. This Baptism is the Baptism of the Holy Ghost. NO WATER.

“Repent,” (Change your mind from unbelief in Jesus to belief in Jesus.) See there is a comma after Repent. First comes Repentance. Than after the person Repents. (Believes on Jesus.) They are Baptized with the Holy Ghost. Again Acts 2:38 is not talking about Water Baptism.

Water Baptism is Not required for Salvation. A person who is Saved. Gets Baptized to tell the World that they have been Saved.

Again, Acts 2:38’s Baptism is not a WATER BAPTISM. IT IS THE BAPTISM OF THE HOLY GHOST.  This is very simple and easy to understand. After you realize there is more than one type of Baptism in the Bible. One Baptism is the Baptism of the Holy Ghost. Another is a Water Baptism. That happens after you are Saved.

It is a dangerous thing to base your Salvation on one verse in the Bible. Especially when you read things into the verse that is not there. And you have the Wrong definition for a word in the verse.

Words that you do not understand the definition of. Look in the Bible at how the word is used. That will tell you the meaning of the word.

Most “Bible Believers” instead of letting the Bible define the meaning of a word. They invent the word’s meaning. So they can create their own False Doctrines. The word Repent for example does not mean: to Turn from Sin, To Repent of Sin, To Forsake Sin. There is no place in the Bible that the Word Repent means any of these things. Yet the vast Majority of Baptist Churches teach these Lies. Actually almost all Churches teach these Lies.

God Repented in the Bible more than anyone else. This should tell you immediately that Repent has nothing to do with Sin. Because God does not Sin. Does God Turn from his Sin? No God Does not Sin. Every time God Repents. He changes his mind. Repent in the Bible means to Change your mind.

There is no place in the Bible. Where Water Baptism is a condition of Salvation.

Remember the Salvation of the Ethiopian Eunuch.

Acts 8:27 And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship,
28 Was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet.
29 Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot.
30 And Philip ran thither to [him], and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest?
31 And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him.

32 The place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth:

33 In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth.
34 And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man?
35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus.
36 And as they went on [their] way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, [here is] water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?
37 And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.
39 And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing.

The Key verses are:

36 And as they went on [their] way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, [here is] water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?
37 And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.

Question: “What doth hinder me to be baptized?” The Answer: “If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest.”

A person is Saved as soon as they have Believed on Jesus with their Heart. Baptism is not part of Salvation. Once a person is Saved than they get Baptized.

Baptism is a Symbol of the Death Burial and Resurrection of Jesus.

When you get Baptized you are Saying publicly that I am Saved I have believed on Jesus Death, Burial and Resurrection to Save me.

Let’s look at this more in-depth.

It is Irrefutable that Acts 2:38’s Baptism is the Baptism of the Holy Ghost. Not a Water Baptism.  Water Baptism is Not Required for Salvation. The Bible is very clear that we are Saved by Believing the Gospel Only.

1st Thessalonians 4:13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.

14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.

15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.

16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

The Bible has a built-in dictionary. By comparing Scripture-with-Scripture, we can solve the puzzle. Rightly dividing (Dissecting) the Word of truth.

2nd Timothy 2:15, “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”

John the Baptist said his baptism, was just water. He said when Jesus comes He would baptize them with the Holy Ghost which is not a water baptism. It is a Spiritual Baptism that Saves and Seals a person.

John 1:22 Then said they unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?

23 He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias.

24 And they which were sent were of the Pharisees.

25 And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that prophet?

26 John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not;

27 He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe’s latchet I am not worthy to unloose.

28 These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing.

29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.

30 This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man which is preferred before me: for he was before me.

31 And I knew him not: but that he should be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come baptizing with water.

32 And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him.

33 And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.

34 And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God.

John 1:26 and 33 teach that John the Baptist’s Baptism was just Water. That Jesus Baptism is not a water Baptism. It is a Spiritual Baptism. The Baptism of the Holy Ghost. That Saves a Person’s Soul.

John 26 John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not; LOOK JOHN’S BAPTISM WAS WATER.

John 1:33 Jesus Baptizeth with the Holy Ghost which Saves a person. When someone has Believed on Jesus they are immediately Saved and Baptized with the Holy Ghost by Jesus. This completely explains Acts 2:38 and Water Baptism.

Acts 2:38 Literally means to be born-again (by the Holy Spirit) in the name of Jesus Christ. This is what it means to be baptized with the Holy Ghost. Most people make the error of assuming that “be baptized” in Acts 2:38 must means water baptism, because that is the modern popular understanding.

My friend, your Pastor can Baptize you with water. But that won’t Save you.

You must be Baptized with the Holy Ghost. Which only Jesus Christ can do. When you Believe on Him as your Savior.  Adding water Baptism, Partial Faith in Jesus Christ, to Salvation is a False Religion. It is not the Gift of God. We are saved by completely trusting in Jesus Christ only to Save us.

Throughout the New Testament. We read that we are Saved by Believing on Jesus Christ Only.

John 6:26 Jesus answered them and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye seek me, not because ye saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of the loaves, and were filled.

27 Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed.

28 Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?

29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.

30 They said therefore unto him, What sign shewest thou then, that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work?

32 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven.

33 For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.

34 Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this bread.

35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.

36 But I said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and believe not.

37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.

38 For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.

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.

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.

If Water Baptism were Necessary for Salvation, then it would have been Mentioned, but it is Not.

It is Ridiculous to entertain the notion. That the Bible is requiring Water Baptism for Salvation in Acts 2:38. When dozens of times we are told in the Bible that Salvation is solely by Faith Alone. Without Works.(Ephesians 2:8-10; Genesis 15:6; Isaiah 45:22; Romans 4:5-6; Galatians 3:24-26; Titus 3:5; Romans 11:6).

NEVER lift any particular text out of a passage without considering the surrounding context. The entire Bible for that matter, or else you will wrongly interpret the Bible.

Finally Acts 2:38 the Straightforward reading of this verse is: The Baptism of the Holy Ghost. Of which John the Baptist foretold. There is no Water in Acts 2:38.

Water Baptism is a Work. Just as Circumcision is a Work. For which the Apostle Peter Rebuked. The false prophets in Acts 15:1 who were requiring it for Salvation.

Acts 15:1, “And certain men which came down from Judaea taught the brethren, and said, Except ye be circumcised after the manner of Moses, ye cannot be saved.”

This Heresy is in the same boat as Water Baptism. That is, it is Human Effort (Works).

In Acts Chapter 15. Paul, the other Apostles and the Elders quickly rejected Circumcision as being required for Salvation.

Repent Of Sin?

Repent of Sin? Repentance is not correctly defined. (Biblically) By most people and Churches.

Repentance, Repent of Sin is called many different unbiblical things.

Repentance is said to be: Turn from Sin, To Forsake Sin, To Repent of Sin. None of this is found in the Bible.

You will never find any verse in the Bible that Says to Repent of Sin.

Repentance is also said to be Sorry over Sin. This is also not Found in the Bible.

People Falsely use 2nd Corinthians 7:9,10 to say Repentance is Sorrow over Sin.

9 Now I rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye sorrowed to repentance: for ye were made sorry after a godly manner, that ye might receive damage by us in nothing.

Verse 9 makes it Clear that Repentance Is Not Sorrow over Sin. To be Sorry at all.

Paul says: “I rejoice, not that ye were made sorry,” he was not Happy that he made them Sorry.

He was happy that they Repented. It is clear that Repentance is not Sorrow. Paul said their Sorrow caused them to Repent.

Repentance is not Sorrow.

10 For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.

No the verse clearly says “godly sorry worketh repentance…” Godly sorry is not Repentance, it causes a person to Repent.

Sorrow causes a person to Repent it is not Repentance.

John 16:7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. 

8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: 

9 Of sin, because they believe not on me; 

10 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;

11 Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.

Repentance is when a person realizes by the Holy Spirit of God. That they are a Dirty Rotten Sinner that Deserves to go to Hell. And they Ask Jesus to Save them.

This Sorrow over being a Sinner causes a person to Repent. To Believe on Jesus only to Save them.

Repentance is not Sorrow. Sorrow leads a person to Repent. To Believe on Jesus.

Notice the above passage does not say to Repent of Sin. It also does not call Repentance Sorrow.

The Holy Spirit is shouting to the entire World “You are a Dirty Rotten Sinner. Jesus Died for your Sins…”

People only seek Jesus. Because the Holy Spirit of God makes them realize they are a Sinner. That needs Jesus to Save them.

It is important to look at the context of verses we use.

2nd Corinthians 7:1 Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

2 Receive us; we have wronged no man, we have corrupted no man, we have defrauded no man.

3 I speak not this to condemn you: for I have said before, that ye are in our hearts to die and live with you.

4 Great is my boldness of speech toward you, great is my glorying of you: I am filled with comfort, I am exceeding joyful in all our tribulation.

5 For, when we were come into Macedonia, our flesh had no rest, but we were troubled on every side; without were fightings, within were fears.

6 Nevertheless God, that comforteth those that are cast down, comforted us by the coming of Titus;

7 And not by his coming only, but by the consolation wherewith he was comforted in you, when he told us your earnest desire, your mourning, your fervent mind toward me; so that I rejoiced the more.

8 For though I made you sorry with a letter, I do not repent, though I did repent: for I perceive that the same epistle hath made you sorry, though it were but for a season.

Right here in verse 8 Paul is defining Repent as to Change your mind.

Paul did not Change his mind. (Repent) Because he made them sorry with his letter. He did not regret what he wrote to them.

“…though I did repent:” What he is saying here is when Titus told him that his letter made the Church sorry at 1st he changed his mind at the letter he had sent and felt it was a bad letter.

Then after he completely understood what affect his letter had on the Church he realized his letter was good and had the needed affect on the Church. So Paul’s final reaction to the news from Titus was to be glad that he sent the letter. To not Change his mind (Repent) of the letter he had sent.

9 Now I rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye sorrowed to repentance: for ye were made sorry after a godly manner, that ye might receive damage by us in nothing.

10 For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.

11 For behold this selfsame thing, that ye sorrowed after a godly sort, what carefulness it wrought in you, yea, what clearing of yourselves, yea, what indignation, yea, what fear, yea, what vehement desire, yea, what zeal, yea, what revenge! In all things ye have approved yourselves to be clear in this matter.

12 Wherefore, though I wrote unto you, I did it not for his cause that had done the wrong, nor for his cause that suffered wrong, but that our care for you in the sight of God might appear unto you.

13 Therefore we were comforted in your comfort: yea, and exceedingly the more joyed we for the joy of Titus, because his spirit was refreshed by you all.

14 For if I have boasted any thing to him of you, I am not ashamed; but as we spake all things to you in truth, even so our boasting, which I made before Titus, is found a truth.

15 And his inward affection is more abundant toward you, whilst he remembereth the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling ye received him.

16 I rejoice therefore that I have confidence in you in all things.

The entire passage is talking about Titus giving a good report to Paul. About the Change (Repentance) his letter caused in the Church at Corinth.

There is a vast difference between what men think the Bible says about Repentance. And what the Bible actually says. Here are a few facts about “Repent.” As it is found in its various forms. In both the Old and New Testaments. 

The word “Repent” is found forty-five times in the King James Bible. “Repentance” twenty-six times. “Repented” thirty-two times. “Repentest” one time. “Repenteth” five times. “Repenting” one time. And “Repentings” one time. A total of 111 times. In both the Old and New Testaments.

The word in its various forms is found forty-six times in the Old Testament. And sixty-five in the New. Of the forty-six times the word appears in the Old Testament. Twenty-eight times God does the Repenting, not man.

For instance, in Exodus 32:14 the Bible says. “And the Lord repented of the evil which he thought to do unto his people.”  

What did God Do? Did God Repent of his Sin?

No God does not Sin.

God Changed his mind. Repent means to Change your mind.

In addition to the twenty-eight times that God repents in the Old Testament. There are nine other passages. That tell of things about which God does not or did not Repent.

Of the forty-six times a form of the word “Repentance” appears in the Old Testament. Only nine times is man doing the repenting. Thirty-seven times it has reference to God’s Repenting. Or telling us of things about which God did not or will not Repent.  

Now, if “Repent” means to Turn from Sin. To Repent of Sin, to Forsake Sin we have a Huge Problem.

That would mean God had to turn from his Sin, To Repent of his Sin, To Forsake his Sin.

God is Sinless and does not Sin.

But if “Repentance” means a Change of Mind. Then it is consistent with the Bible. God Changes His mind over and over again in the Bible.

“Repent of your sins.” Is not found in the Bible.

Repentance means to change your mind.

Acts 17:29 Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man’s device. 30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at [overlooked]; but now commandeth all men every where to repent. 31, Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead. 

What they were to Repent or Change their Mind about. Is clear from verse 29. Here the Scripture says, “…we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold or silver or stone, graven by art and man’s device!” 

They needed to Change their Mind about God. And see that He is not a Graven image made of gold, silver, or stone. But that He is a Living God and is going to be their Judge. 

Jesus told people to Repent.

In Luke 13:5 Jesus said, “I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.” The context of this verse shows that they needed to repent or change their mind regarding punishment and sin.

In this passage. Jesus was talking to good people. Who believed that people suffered only because of their sins. And they concluded that those in Galilee. Whose blood Pilate mingled with sacrifices. And those on whom the Tower of Siloam fell. Were greater Sinners. Because they died such horrible deaths.

Jesus contradicts the thinking of these Self-Righteous people. And tells them that they need to Repent or Change their Mind. And see themselves as Sinners, too. Or they will perish in their own Self-Righteousness.  

Everyone is Saved by the Gospel. You will not find Jesus, Paul or any of Jesus other Disciples. Teaching to Be Saved you have to Repent of Sin.

The Gospel.

1st Corinthians 15:1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;

2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.

3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;

4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

Repentance is from unbelief in Jesus to belief in Jesus. To Believe the Gospel only to Save you.

Repentance is not from sinful behavior.

Biblical Salvation Is Under Attack: Once Saved Always Saved? Salvation = Eternal Life.

Salvation = Eternal Life. Once Saved Always Saved = Eternal Life.

Why would any Christian Question Once Saved Always Saved? Salvation Equals Eternal Life.

People who Teach you can Lose your Salvation are Lost.

They are not Christians. According to them Jesus did not Die For All of the Sins of the World. To Believe them you have to Deny dozens of Bible passages. 

Why would Jesus willingly be born to Suffer, Bleed, and Die, A Horrific Death by Crucifixion if His Blood Sacrifice were not Enough to Save us from the Penalty of All of our Sins Eternally?

According to Cultist who deny Eternal Life / Eternal Security Jesus Died in Vain.

They are so full of Pride saying that They Do Not Sin.

Essentially they are All Anti-Christ’s. False Christ’s.

Why? Because They Think that Jesus’s Blood is Not Good Enough to Save them. They Think They are Superior to Jesus. That They Are Capable of Saving Themselves by Their Own Good Deeds. By Living Perfect Sinless Lives and By Doing Good Works.

These Lying Frauds are Completely Delusional!!! They Deny the Bible. What they do is use Human Philosophy, False Arguments, Human Logic as their Proof, Not the Bible. For their “Biblical Proof” they Take Verses that ARE NOT SALVATION VERSES and Pass them off Incorrectly as Salvation Verses to Push their Obvious Lies.

Only Jesus is Sinless. Only Jesus’s Blood Will Save You.

Isaiah 64:6

“But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.”

People who Claim that they Do Not Sin Are Insane LIARS.

Yes, Most People who Believe the False Teaching that a Person can Lose their Salvation. They Falsely Claim that they do Not Sin.

Many will Say:

“I Do Not Sin Willfully…” So according to them they might make MISTAKES, But they DO NOT SIN!!!

Their Arguments are Convoluted. Like a 4 year old with their Face Covered in Sugar and Jam, Saying:

“No, Mommy I Didn’t Eat Any of the Donuts…”

There is No talking to them Because they Refuse to Admit the Truth. Like a Child.

They Go on the Offense Instead of Admitting the Truth.

“You Use Jesus as a Fire Escape.” “You Just Want to Sin Like the Devil and Still Go to Heaven.”

They Will Accuse You of Phantom Sins:

“You Just Want to Live in Sin!!!”

They are Lying by Saying this, as they Deny that they Even Sin a Little Bit. They Make Mistakes. While You Sin Like the Devil, according to Them. They Have Very EVIL TWISTED LOGIC.

I Will Not Stand Before Jesus Denying to His Face that His Crucifixion was Not Good Enough to Save Me Eternally. That He Did Not Promise Eternal Life, Eternal Security.

People who Deny Salvation is Eternal Life, is Eternal Security. They ARE Spitting in Jesus’s FACE:

“Jesus Your Blood is Not Good Enough to Save Me!!!!” “You Died in Vain!!!! “I Am A Good Person. I Deserve To Go To Heaven Because I Did Not Sin My Entire Life!!!! I Spent My Entire Life Doing Good Works!!!!”

No I am Not Being Overly Dramatic. I have correctly repeated Their Arguments Exactly. Truthfully though Their Most Used Arguments are Even More Insane!!! I will Not Repeat Most of what they Say because it is even more Blasphemous than what I have already included.

To tell Jesus you Earned your own way into Heaven is Satanic. 

You are either Saved 100% by Jesus. Or You are Lost depending on Your Own Good Works.

Counterfeit Christians Deny that Jesus Promised Eternal Life to the Believer. They Deny Eternal Life / Eternal Security.

Counterfeit Christianity, Their False Theology Denies Jesus’s Blood Atonement is Good Enough to Save Anyone. They Mock Christians that Believe the Bible. Christians Who Believe Jesus when He Said that He Gives Eternal Life.

OSAS = Once Saved Always Saved. It Is A MOCKING TERM THEY MADE UP.

Fake Christians Laugh at, Mock Christians that Believe they cannot Lose their Salvation.

“So you think that you can Sin as much as you want to and still go to Heaven…” “OSAS is a Lie…”

These Lost Frauds Falsely define what the Bible teaches. They create Strawman Arguments, that are meant to make you look Selfish.

The Truth is they are Self-Righteous, Trying to Work Their Way to Heaven. They are Actively Spreading Lies and Pushing People Into Hell.

Matthew 23:15

“Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.”

Read and Study the Bible so you will not be Deceived into Believing False Doctrines, False Gospel’s.

People who believe they can Lose their Salvation are not Saved.

They are working their way to Heaven.

Salvation is 100% Jesus. 0% human effort. You Did Nothing To Save Yourself From Hell. It is Prideful to say You have to Work Your Way to Heaven, Or to Stay Saved. This is Not Biblical. ETERNAL LIFE Means Never Ending, Forever. Jesus Saves Eternally. Salvation Equals Eternal Life, Eternal Security.

The Bible Teaches Eternal Life, Eternal Security:

Romans 6:23“For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”

John 4:14 “But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.”

Matthew 25:46 “And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.”

John 5:24 “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.”

John 3:36 “He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.”

Denying Eternal Security, is Denying Jesus Words, The Bible.

If You Deny Eternal Security / Eternal Life, You are Working Your Way to Heaven. You are Saying Jesus Blood Atonement is Not Enough to Save You. You Cannot Work Your Way to Heaven.

Hebrews 6:4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, 5 And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, 6 If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.

Hebrews 6:4-6 Does Not Teach a Saved person Can Lose Their Salvation.

It is saying what many other Scriptures say: That Jesus Died Once for All of the Sins of the World. It is Impossible for Jesus to Die Again for All of the Sins of the World. Jesus Already Paid for All the Sins of the World, Once was Enough.

Hebrews 9:24 For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:

25 Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others;

26 For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.

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

28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.

The Bible Does Not Teach A Christian Can Lose Their Salvation. Eternal Life Never Ends. Eternal Life = Eternal Security.

1st Peter 3:18 “For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:”

Eternal Life Romans 3 10 1
Biblical Salvation Is Under Attack: Once Saved Always Saved? Salvation = Eternal Life. 12

1st John 2:2 “And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.”

John 1:29 “The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.”

Matthew 25:46 “And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.”

The Bible Teaches Eternal Life / Eternal Security Over and Over and Over Again.

John 10:25 Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father’s name, they bear witness of me. 26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you. 27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:

28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand.

30 I and my Father are one.

31 Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.

Jesus taught Eternal Life for Everyone who Believes on him. He taught a person can never lose their Salvation.

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.

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.

1st Peter 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

4 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,

5 Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

Jesus said, that a person goes to Hell / the Lake of Fire for Eternity!!!!

You Will Either Spend Eternity in Hell / The Lake of Fire or in Heaven.

Daniel 12:1 And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.

2 And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.

3 And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.

4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.

Everyone Will EXIST FOREVER!!!!

You have the Choice. HEAVEN or HELL.

It is So Ignorant to Say that a Jesus Did Not Teach Eternal Life / Eternal Security When He Did Repeatedly.

Jesus Taught Everyone has a Choice to Make. Either to Believe on Him and Go to Heaven for Eternal Life which is Eternal Security or to Reject Him and Go to Hell / The Lake of Fire for Eternity.

So Yes, Jesus Taught OSAS. Once Saved Always Saved. Jesus DID NOT TEACH A PERSON CAN LOSE THEIR SALVATION!!!!

ETERNAL LIFE!!!! ETERNAL LIFE!!!! ETERNAL LIFE!!!!

OR:

ETERNITY IN HELL / THE LAKE OF FIRE!!!!

It is Very Interesting that These People that DENY Jesus Taught Eternal Life is Indeed Eternal Security, That they Do Not Also Teach That Hell is Not ETERNAL.

How is it that they Deny Eternal Life / Eternal Security, When they Teach Hell is Eternal????

They Do Not Teach that a Person who is Sent to Hell / The Lake of Fire will Ever Get Out. No they Teach That People Will Spend Eternity in Hell / The Lake of Fire.

These Satanic False Teachers Are Obvious LIARS:

HELL / THE LAKE OF FIRE IS ETERNAL According to them.

But A Person who Believes on Jesus Can Lose their Salvation???????????? They are Not Given Eternal Life for Believing on Jesus Like Jesus said?????????????

Like All LIARS THEY ARE TWO FACED. They Only Believe Part of the Truth.

Jesus Taught that Going to Hell Was ETERNAL. He Called it the 2nd Death.

Revelation 20:10 And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.

12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.

13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.

14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.

15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

Matthew 25:41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:

Jude 1:5 I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not. 6 And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day. 7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. 8 Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities. 9 Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.

10 But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.

11 Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core.

12 These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;

13 Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.

14 And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints,

15 To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.

16 These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men’s persons in admiration because of advantage.

The Book of Jude is Talking about The Counterfeit False Christians / False Christianity / All False Teachers. The People That Deny Jesus Taught Eternal Life / Eternal Security.

Jesus is Calling them Out for Their EVIL Speech, Their Lies. Read through this Blog as Many times as you need to, as Often as You Need to. Until You Understand The Truth of the Bible.

2nd Thessalonians 1:7 And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,

8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:

9 Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;

Salvation is a Choice. It is a Freewill Decision to Believe on Jesus to Be Saved for Eternity. To Have Eternal Life in Heaven. To Believe the Gospel Only to Be Saved From Hell:

1st Corinthians 15:1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:  

No One Has to Go to Hell. People Go to Hell for Only One Reason, For Rejecting Jesus’s Free Gift of Salvation:

John 12:48 “He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.” 

People are Condemned to Hell / The Lake of Fire, Because They Have Rejected Jesus. Because They Have Not Believed on Him to Save Them:

John 3:18 “He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.”

Romans 8:31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? 32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? 33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that justifieth. 34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.

Nothing Can Separate Us From Jesus.

If you could Lose Your Salvation than Jesus. The Disciples, Peter, John, Paul etc…, They All Lied to Us.

They did not Lie. The Eternal Security Deniers are the Liars.

35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.

37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,

39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Once a Person Has Believed on Jesus Only to Save Them Than Nothing Can Prevent Them From Going to Heaven for Eternity.
