Counterfeit Christianity. Are You Saved?

Being Saved is the most important decision in your Life. 

Are you a Counterfeit Christian? Are You Sure you are Saved? What are you trusting in to get you to Heaven?

2 Timothy 3:5 “Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.”

The Bible is full of warnings of Counterfeit Christians. Counterfeit Churches, Counterfeit Christianity.

Tragically, in my life I have been fooled by a lot of people who claimed to be Christians that were not. These frauds, hurt me a lot.

How to spot Fake Christians? “Having a form of godliness…”

They have a form of godliness, that is Fake. They play Church. They make big shows of giving to Charity, of doing Good things. They enjoy the Praise of others.

Matthew 6:2 “Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.”

Mark 12:38 And he said unto them in his doctrine, Beware of the scribes, which love to go in long clothing, and love salutations in the marketplaces,
39 And the chief seats in the synagogues, and the uppermost rooms at feasts:
40 Which devour widows’ houses, and for a pretence make long prayers: these shall receive greater damnation.
41 And Jesus sat over against the treasury, and beheld how the people cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much.
42 And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing.
43 And he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury:
44 For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living.

Jesus is warning us to look out for Frauds, Fake Christians.

“Christians” that always seek to be the center of attention: “Hey everybody, look at me, listen to me…” are suspect.

Christians need to be vessels used by Jesus. Not the focus that calls attention to themselves, instead of Jesus.

Back to:

2 Timothy 3:5 “Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.”

Jesus said to TURN AWAY from FAKE CHRISTIANS. Once you discover people in your life who are Frauds. Do what Jesus says to do. Cut them completely out of your Life.

“…but denying the power thereof:” These Fake Christians are very showy they profess to Believe the Bible. They give the appearance of being Saved, even by giving the correct Bible verses that teach Salvation.

But they deny the power thereof. Meaning they do not Believe the Bible. They always add to Salvation. They add words to Salvation that are not Found in the Bible.

The most popular words added to Salvation is Repent of Sin, Turn From Sin, Forsake Sin, Surrender to God.

Repent of Sin is not in the Bible. Turn from Sin, Forsake Sin, Surrender your Life to Christ, You must have a relationship with Jesus… None of these sayings are in the Bible as being part of Salvation.

Jesus warns us to Beware of Fake Christians who seem godly but they are play acting, they are not Saved.

Nail down how everyone of your friends were Saved. Yes, I mean your friends from your Church.

Ask them: “When were you Saved.” “How were you Saved.” “If you were Standing before Jesus right now. And he Asked you, Why should I let you into Heaven. What would you Say?”

The answers you get will likely surprise you. I have gotten: “I Repented of my Sins to be Saved.” “I was raised in Church, I have always been Saved.”

Some people will become defensive and refuse to answer the question. “That is between me and Jesus!” “How dare you ask me that!”

Asking someone, especially a person who claims to be a Christian, how they were Saved is a reasonable and Biblical question.

A person is Saved by believing the Gospel. By Believing on Jesus only to Save them with nothing added.

1 Peter 3:13 And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good?

14 But and if ye suffer for righteousness’ sake, happy are ye: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled;

15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:

16 Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ.

17 For it is better, if the will of God be so, that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil doing.

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:

19 By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison;

20 Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.

21 The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:

22 Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.

A Christian is Christ like. A true Christian will suffer for being a Christian.

Suffer? Yes. Everyday around the world even in the USA Christians are murdered for their Faith in Jesus. Christianity, is always mocked in society. TV and Films distort true Christianity. The good Christian is always a Catholic. Funny because Catholic’s are not Christians. Almost all portrayals of Catholic’s are positive.

Yes there are some Evil portrayals of Catholic Priest’s mostly because of all the real scandals they are involved with concerning Children and Nuns. The non Catholic portrayals are negative stereotypes that are not true. The Christian is the outsider that is a hypocrite, and often much worse, who is caught being a hypocrite.

In my life as a Christian. People made it their mission in life to corrupt me. People have threatened to beat me up if I would not drink with them. Sex was always offered to me. My life has been threatened. Not just talk. I have been in physical fights. Have had knives pulled on me. So yes being a true Christian comes with dangers.

Jesus in John Chapter 15 explains what a Christian is.

John 15:1 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.

2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.

Verse 2- Is talking about Christian’s. If you are really Saved you should be in the ministry. Yes, every Christian needs to be serving Jesus. You should be a part of at least on ministry at your Church.

Some Saved people, get Saved and they do nothing for Jesus their entire lives. God taking away their branch is symbolic of them not bearing any fruit as a Christian. These Christian’s outwardly appear just like any Lost person. Please do not be this type of Christian.

3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.

4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.

Verse 4- Christian’s need to Abide, Abide means to continue in. So to Abide in Jesus means you are continuing in the Christian Faith.

Unfortunately most Christian’s do not Abide in Jesus. Maybe they were Saved when they were Young. When they got older they forsook their Faith. Or they were Saved as an Adult. They later gave up going to Church because of meeting the “Love of their Life.” Because of this relationship they quit everything associated with being a Christian.

5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.

Verse 6- Does not mention Hell or Eternal Damnation because this is talking about a Christian who never served Jesus. It is foreshadowing the Judgment seat of Christ where all of our works as a Christian will be tried with fire.

7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.

8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.

9 As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.

10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love.

11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.

Verse 11- If you are Saved than you should always be full of Joy. The Joy of your Salvation. If you are a person who is always, unthankful, depressed, unhappy than maybe you are not Saved. Yes I seriously question your Salvation.

12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. 13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.

15 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.

16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.

17 These things I command you, that ye love one another.

18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.

19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.

Verses 17,18 and 19- Christian’s are suppose to Love one another and Hate the world. You can spot Fake Christian’s by how worldly they are. Outside the Church they want nothing to do with you or God. They spend their lives being a Friend to the World committing all their Sins. They are loved by the World.

This includes all the “Celebrity Christian’s.” If they are on TV, a Movie Star they are not Saved. Yes I will say this because to be cast in Films, to be a Celebrity of any kind you have to become part of their club. Yes all Celebrities are involved in Satanism. There are numerous books and videos about this. Do a little research and you will see this is true.

20 Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.

21 But all these things will they do unto you for my name’s sake, because they know not him that sent me.

22 If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloke for their sin.

23 He that hateth me hateth my Father also.

24 If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father.

25 But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.

26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:

27 And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning.

To be Saved. Believe the Gospel. Ask Jesus to Save you.

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:

It is essential to know that your Spouse, your Children. Every member of your family is Saved. Make sure you tell them how you were Saved. If they do not give the correct answer on how to be Saved. You need to pray for them and tell them: “That is not how to be Saved.” “This is how to be Saved.” Show them in the Bible.

Have them read the Book of Romans and the book of John and go back to them and show them in the Bible how to be Saved.

Do not assume that everyone in your Church is Saved. Do not assume because a person says they are a Christian that they are really Saved.

Numerous people who have no Faith in Jesus. Pretend to be Christian’s. I have seen this in my life many times. Once I was at my Pastor’s home. His two daughters plus another Female told me we were not at Church. So I needed to stop being such a big Christian. “My Dad is not here for you to try and impress.”

I was trying to have a Christian conversation and they would not allow that. I realized they were not Saved. One of them offered to have Sex with me. They were pretending to be Christian’s. I left before their parents came home.

Matthew Chapter 7 tells us what will happen to people who Falsely claim they are a Christian. Many will think they are Saved. Because they were very Devout to their False Christianity.

Matthew 7:13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Heaven Or Hell? Jesus Or Money?

Jesus Or Money? Is Money Worth Going To Hell Over? Heaven Or Hell? Choose.

Do you Love Jesus? Do you Love the World? You can Love One or the Other. One not Both. It should not be a hard decision. Life is short. Money does not buy happiness. Heaven or Hell? Jesus or Money? Money is the biggest cause of unhappiness in Life. People Marry for it. They Divorce for it. Steal for it. Kill for it.

1st John 2:15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

Do you Love the World?

I believe Christians Do Not Love the World. But Most Christians are in Love with the things in the World. Christians like non Christians want to be Accepted.  Popularity is like a Drug for people. The World Hates Christianity. So for Christians to be Accepted in the World they have to be like the World.

What things?

Money. Sex. Career. Sports. Attention. Movies, Television etc…

Early on in my Life. As a child and as a teenager. I Loved TV, Movies, Sports. I wanted Sex, a good Career.

NFL Football is on Sunday. That is not by accident. Satan knows that many Christians will be sitting in Church but their Heart is consumed with the football scores.

College Football is on Saturday. Sadly many sports obsessed men and women waste their Lives Worshiping Sports. Sports run 365 days a year. As a child I was caught up in this, Obsession. After I graduated High School I gave this up.

I have even been in Church and heard the Pastor say: “Today’s service will be short. We will sing one song and I have a 15 minute message. I know there is a big NFL game today.”

Yes, Pastor’s will cut the entire Service short because of the NFL. Maybe you have not seen this happen, but it does happen.

Worldly Pastor’s Love the things of the World more than God.

You may not be someone that is consumed with Sports.

Most Christians are consumed with Sex, their Career, and being Liked. Christians, we are not perfect. But typically there is something we let consume us. This thing interferes with our Christian Service our Walk with God.

Being overly consumed with our Spouse, our Children interferes with our walk with God. Spending Quality time with your Family is Essential and Biblical. We need to have the right balance though. There is no excuse for Neglecting our Christian Service.

Colossians 3:2 “Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.”

It is too easy to let the cares of this life Overwhelm us.

We want to be Good godly Christians. (Hopefully most of us.) But we struggle with the things of the World.

Sex is the one thing I am confident one time or another has been a huge concern for every Christian.

Why?

Because both single men and single women want to be in a relationship with the opposite Sex. That Desire can easily become an Obsession.

Even having a relationship does not always satisfy everyone. Wanting someone Better, Consumes Countless people. Better: More Attractive. Wealthier. Different.

Unfortunately most married people will regret their marriage. They think they could have done better. This is one reason for the high rate of Divorce in Christian marriages.

It takes a lot of Determination to not be Worldly. To not be Consumed with Sex, Career, Having Fun.

Philippians 4:8 “Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.”

God tells us how to be Heavenly minded throughout the Bible, in Philippians 4:8.

Philippians 4:8 is telling us to read with understanding the Bible and to think on these things. What other than what is written in the Bible is: True, Honest, Just, Pure, Love, of Good Report, Virtue, Praise. Some of these things might exist in our lives outside of the Bible. Just be careful where your mind, your thoughts wander.

Jesus, promised Heaven to all who will Believe on Him.

John 14:1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
2 In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.

Here in John Chapter 14 Jesus realized his Disciples hearts were troubled.

Jesus told them that he was going to lay down his life for the Sins of the world. He said he was going die.

This was very troubling to hear. So, Jesus offered hope:  “…believe in God, believe also in me.”

The Disciples were so troubled that Jesus had to tell them to Believe in God and to also Believe in him.

After 3 and a half years the Disciples should have just naturally Believed in Jesus. I think they did. But their minds were focused on the Negative. With the thoughts of Jesus dying and leaving them alone. They could not think straight.

This happens to us too. We know the Bible and how we should live. But because of circumstances in the World. We let ourselves loose sight of the Big picture and we become Worldly.

Becoming Worldly means to Neglect the things of God. To waste our time on Fleeting Pleasures. We should Keep our thoughts on the Heavenly. Pray often. Be an Evangelist, A Good Witness. And have a Good Christian Testimony.

Being Saved means you will go to Heaven when you Die.

Spending Eternity in Heaven with Jesus is suppose to motivate us to Live for Eternal rewards. Instead of living for the Temporary Pleasures the World has to offer.

Matthew 6:19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

In Matthew Chapter 6. Jesus tells us how worthless it is to spend our lives building up Wealth on the Earth.

A Devout Christian will live a life in Service to Jesus. Doing this they will Earn Heavenly Treasures.

The bottom line is what you Treasure the most will be where your Heart is. This means if you Treasure the things of the World than that is where your Heart is.

Be the Christian that Treasures the things of God. A Christian that has a Heart for Jesus.

Please Share 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:

Joshua 24:15 Who Do You Serve?

Be Like Joshua. Do not Be Afraid to Ask, Who Do You Serve? 

Joshua Took A Stand For God. His Challenge to Israel: Who Do You Serve? He told them they were Evil. Because they wanted to Go Back to Egypt to Serve Pagan gods.  Joshua was not Afraid. He Boldly told the mob he would Serve The Lord. He tried to change their minds. The message is if Everyone Else Stops Serving the Lord. You need to Stand up to them and Say I Serve the Lord. You need to too. Jesus and You is a Majority.

God is asking you to Stand with him.

Joshua 24:15 “And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.”

1st Corinthians 16:3 “Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.”

“Watch ye.” We need to Lookout for Everything that Tempts us and Avoid these Temptations. Things that cause us to Sin. We must flee from Sin.

Christians need to be very careful who they spend their time with. Your old non-Christian friends will ruin your Christian Faith if you keep being friends with them.

When we are with them we do Sinful things. Things we would not have done if we were not with them. We need to Watch for and avoid Temptations that can cause us to Sin.

“Stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be Strong.”

To Stand Fast, means You Hold Your Ground. You are Rock Solid in what you Believe. No One Can Change Your Mind about Your Christian Faith.

Being a Man, a Woman, being Strong. Means You Will Uphold Your Beliefs, Your Christian Faith.

When confronted do not be Weak and Flee. Never Change or Hide, who you are because of Peer Pressure. Hold firm to what you Believe.

Ephesians 6:10 “Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.”

The Apostle Paul is Encouraging Persecuted Christians. Be Strong In The Lord. In The Power Of His Might.

Paul’s speech is telling the Church to be Faithful to the Lord. He reminds them of the MIGHTY POWER OF THE LORD.  Back then just by Admitting to being a Christian could get you Stoned to Death, even Crucified. Like Joshua Paul is telling the people to make a Stand for the Lord. 

As Christians we will face challenges to our Christian Faith from all sides. Even from people in our own home.

Family members and Friends will stand against your Christian Faith. They will try to change you. They get upset when you stay Faithful to Jesus, and reject Sin. People you will meet in life, or online, will oppose your Christian Faith in Jesus. Stay Strong. Others who claim to be Christians will Pervert the Gospel with False Teachings adding Works to Salvation. The way to stay Strong like Joshua is to know the Bible. Study the Bible.

Jesus is telling us to be STRONG in the Lord. Jesus wants us to stand up and be Counted as a Christian. He wants us to Stand up for the Truth of the Gospel. For the Truth of Christianity.

If you Love others you will correct those who are Wrong in the Doctrine they are Teaching, Sharing. This is what a person does who is STRONG in the Lord like Joshua and Paul.

Jude 3 “Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.”

So far we have Jesus, Joshua, Jude and Paul in the Scriptures are telling us to make a Stand. There are no silent Stands. Jude 3, Earnestly Contend for  the Faith. Earnestly = Sincere and Intense Conviction, Seriously. Contend = A Difficult Dangerous Struggle to Surmount a Challenge. To Argue, To Assert your Position in an Argument.

Jude 3 Makes it Clear that the Christian Faith is a Fight. Not a Physical Fight. A Fight to Stand up for your Christian Faith. When people say Christians do not Argue. They just showed me they are IGNORANT of the Bible. Joshua had Vocal Arguments to support his Faith in the Lord. As did Paul, Jude, Jesus, the Saints of God. The Bible records numerous Saints Arguing to defend the Lord. When you make a Stand for Jesus. You are Defending Jesus.

I constantly hear “Christians” say do not Correct other “Believers” about what they are teaching others.

These same “Christians” have No Problem Always Condemning Me, Mocking Me. They Judge everything I say. Fake Christians are the Worst Hypocrites.

“Just let it go. We need to just support each other.” That sounds “OK.” Except when someone is Teaching Works Salvation You have a Responsibility to Expose them For Teaching a False Gospel. Keeping Silent, especially when you are part of the Conversation is supporting the False Gospel. That is like just standing by and watching a person drown.

If you care about someone you will tell them when they are Wrong. Especially when they are Teaching False Doctrines.

Jesus is our example.

Luke 19:37 And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen;

38 Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.

39 And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples.
40 And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.
41 And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it,
42 Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes.
43 For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side,
44 And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.

45 And he went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold therein, and them that bought;

Jesus is our example to follow. Jesus was not Weak Like some Preachers and Churches Teach. He Strongly Defended the Scriptures, the Christian Faith.

46 Saying unto them, It is written, My house is the house of prayer: but ye have made it a den of thieves.

Jesus called People out who were Wrong. He used Strong Language. He never took No for an answer. When Jesus spoke he Never backed down to any one.

47 And he taught daily in the temple. But the chief priests and the scribes and the chief of the people sought to destroy him,
48 And could not find what they might do: for all the people were very attentive to hear him.

Strongly Contended for The Faith like Jesus, Joshua, John, Paul and Jude. 

Biblically a person who Earnestly Contends for the Faith with Sincere and Intense Conviction, asserts Biblical Truths. They will teach the Bible correctly with their whole heart. They will Stand up and Argue with False Teachers.

Jude 4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.
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.

The Apostle Paul Strongly Contended for the Faith.

Galatians 2:11 But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed.

Paul had Strong Words for Peter. When Paul “Withstood” Peter it means he refused to Give in to Peter’s argument.  It is WRONG to say that Christians are not to Argue with each other. It is UnBiblical. The Bible records very Strong arguments. Paul Stood his ground refusing to give in to Peter. If you are right Biblically you never give in to any kind of Pressure. Which means you do not concede and agree with a False Teacher.

As soon as the Conversating hits a dead end leave.

There is no Point to Argue the same points over and over again. If this Argument is within Your Church You will need to Leave that Church. If they are Teaching False Doctrines. Never change your mind to Smooth things over. Just to make peace with others who are Biblically Wrong. Joshua would call them Evil.

Galatians 2:12 For before that certain came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them which were of the circumcision.
13 And the other Jews dissembled likewise with him; insomuch that Barnabas also was carried away with their dissimulation.
14 But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Peter before them all, If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?
15 We who are Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles,

16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.

17 But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid.
18 For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor.
19 For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God.

20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.

This passage is Teaching that Works can never Save a person. There is only one plan of Salvation for everyone.

Paul like Joshua Stood with the Lord. He drew a line in the Sand and Said in today’s language You cannot Add Works to Salvation. This all happened within the Church. This was a Church matter that was a huge Confrontation. If you are in the Same Church for a Long time these type of Arguments will happen.  You might get a lot of new Calvin members that divide the Church.     

Acts 15:2 “When therefore Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and disputation with them, they determined that Paul and Barnabas, and certain other of them, should go up to Jerusalem unto the apostles and elders about this question.”

“Had no small dissension and disputation with them…”

This was a huge Disagreement, an Argument involving a lot of different people.

Please Defend the Christian Faith. Always Share the Gospel.

If you have never asked Jesus to Save you. Please pray to Jesus and Ask him right now to Save you.

Bible Salvation.

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.
14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things! 

The Gospel Of Jesus Christ.

The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the Power of God.

Romans 1:16 “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”

Christians do not be Afraid to share the Gospel. Proudly Share the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Satan Twists God’s Word. Denies the True Gospel. Invents his own False Gospel.

2nd Corinthians 11:3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.
4 For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.

Most people trust the most important decision in their life to other people. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the Power of God unto Salvation.

The Bible clearly explains Salvation:

Romans 1:15 So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also.

16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.

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:

This is the Gospel that Jesus Preached. The Gospel Peter, Paul, James, John every Apostle and Disciple of Jesus preached.

The Bible warns against Believing Another Gospel.

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.

Most Churches teach that Jesus never Taught / Preached the Gospel. That we cannot follow Jesus’s Teachings. They reject the Gospel’s, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Putting them in the Old Testament.

According to them. We can only take Salvation passages from some of Apostle Paul’s books. They even deny parts of Paul’s books. Because of their Dispensationalist False Doctrine. They reject Romans chapter 10 and the entire book of Hebrews. Saying they apply only to the Jews.

Jesus did teach the Gospel:

Luke 9:18 And it came to pass, as he was alone praying, his disciples were with him: and he asked them, saying, Whom say the people that I am?
19 They answering said, John the Baptist; but some say, Elias; and others say, that one of the old prophets is risen again.
20 He said unto them, But whom say ye that I am? Peter answering said, The Christ of God.
21 And he straitly charged them, and commanded them to tell no man that thing;
22 Saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be slain, and be raised the third day.

Verse 22 is the Gospel plain and Clear.

22 Saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be slain, and be raised the third day.

More verses:

Luke 18:31 Then he took unto him the twelve, and said unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished.
32 For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on:
33 And they shall scourge him, and put him to death: and the third day he shall rise again.
34 And they understood none of these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken.

Luke 24:7 “Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.”

Mark 9:31 “For he taught his disciples, and said unto them, The Son of man is delivered into the hands of men, and they shall kill him; and after that he is killed, he shall rise the third day.”

Mark 10:33 Saying, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be delivered unto the chief priests, and unto the scribes; and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him to the Gentiles:
34 And they shall mock him, and shall scourge him, and shall spit upon him, and shall kill him: and the third day he shall rise again.

Matthew 16:21 From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day.
22 Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee.
23 But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.

John 2:19 Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.

20 Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?
21 But he spake of the temple of his body.
22 When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.

John 10:17 Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.
18 No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.

The Bible is Clear: Jesus Taught the Gospel.

Mark 1:1 makes this Perfectly Clear:

Mark 1:1 The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God; 2 As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. 3 The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.

Jesus taught to be Saved All a person has to do is to Believe in him.

Jewish people knew the Scriptures foretold of the coming Messiah. Who would Save them from their Sins.

When Jesus said to Believe on me to have Eternal Life. They understood he was the promised Messiah. That would Save them from the Penalty of all of their Sins.

John 11:23 Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again.
24 Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.
25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
26 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?
27 She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.

The Scriptures that foretold the Gospel, Jesus the coming Messiah:

Zechariah 9:9 Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass.
10 And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem, and the battle bow shall be cut off: and he shall speak peace unto the heathen: and his dominion shall be from sea even to sea, and from river even to the ends of the earth.
11 As for thee also, by the blood of thy covenant I have sent forth thy prisoners out of the pit wherein is no water.

Micah 5:2 “But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.”

Isaiah 7:14 “Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.”

Immanuel: “God with us.”

Immanuel, God with us, is a prophecy that announces the presence of God with his people, and which is ultimately fulfilled in the arrival of the incarnate Son of God in the womb of the virgin Mary (Matthew 1:22,23)

Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

7 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.

Isaiah 62:11 Behold, the LORD hath proclaimed unto the end of the world, Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh; behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him.
12 And they shall call them, The holy people, The redeemed of the LORD: and thou shalt be called, Sought out, A city not forsaken.

Isaiah 53:1 Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?
2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.
3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.

5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.
8 He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken.
9 And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.

10 Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand. 11 He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.

12 Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

Old Testament Believers Believed The Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Animal sacrifices Saved No One:

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

The Old Testament 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 in the Lord Jesus Christ the coming Messiah.

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. In Galatians 3 God preached the Gospel to Abraham.

Dispensationalism’s Biggest Lie is there are Many Different Gospel’s. 

These False Teachers Teach Multiple plans of Salvation, Multiple Gospel’s. The Bible says there is Only One True Gospel. There is Only One plan of Salvation for All of Humanity. Abraham put his Faith in Jesus Christ Only to Save him.

Salvation is Simple. Read the Scriptures for yourself and Believe on Jesus only to Save you.

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.

Heaven

Heaven is where God’s Throne is. It is a city with streets of gold. It is full of Mansions.

Hollywood Mocks Heaven. Hollywood’s version of Heaven is people sitting on clouds strumming Harps. Heaven is real so is Hell. Hell is not a party where people will be reunited with their friends. Hollywood pictures Hell as a great place where people have endless fun.

Jesus Describes Heaven

John 14:2 “In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.”

Heaven is so Amazing that our human minds cannot even begin to comprehend it.

1st Corinthians 2:9  “But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.”

The context of 1st Corinthians 2:9. Is Paul telling a crowd. That what he says is from God. God’s Wisdom. Not the False Wisdom of the world. God wants us to look forward to going to Heaven.

1st Corinthians 2:6 Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought:

7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:

8 Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.

10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.

11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.

12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.

13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.

14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.

16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.

The Saints in the Old Testament looked forward to Heaven.

The Bible is clear that Heaven is not a place with people sitting on clouds strumming harps. Also Heaven is not in the Clouds. Heaven is way beyond our clouds. The depiction of Heaven. In paintings, in pictures, in movies and on TV. Are Lost’s man’s depictions and are not Biblical.

Heaven is the home of countless Angels. And other Spiritual Beings. It is an active working city. With God on the Throne.

Faith in Jesus Blood Atonement Only Is The ONLY WAY TO HEAVEN For Everyone.

Hebrews 12:18 For ye are not come unto the mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest,

19 And the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which voice they that heard intreated that the word should not be spoken to them any more:

20 (For they could not endure that which was commanded, And if so much as a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust through with a dart:

21 And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, I exceedingly fear and quake:)

22 But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,

23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,

24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.

25 See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven:
26 Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.

27 And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.

28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:

29 For our God is a consuming fire.

Christians Need To FEAR GOD. GOD IS A CONSUMING FIRE.

Most Pastor’s completely gloss over these verses. And if they ever preach / teach them they do not tell Christians to Fear God. Why they need to Fear God. God will not accept all of our Christian works. Just look at Cain and Able.

Heaven will not be only Joy unspeakable and full of Glory.

Heaven for every Christian. Starts with Judgment and Tears. Yes, Tears. There will be Tears in Heaven.

Revelation 21:4 “And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.”

People do not understand this verse. It sounds Happy. Because God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes. This verse is one of the saddest verses in the entire Bible Actually.

God has not yet wiped away people’s tears. “Shall.” Shall is a future event. People in Heaven are crying.

Let this sink in. You and I. We will be crying in Heaven. For years. Heaven is outside of time. Just think how long it will take. For Jesus to Judge the entire World. Our Lost Family Members, and Friends. The amount of time is unfathomable.

2nd Peter 3:8 “But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.”

Things that will happen to every person in Heaven

Some people will be Naked. Jesus will Judge us all. People get mad. And call it perverse. That some people will get to Heaven Naked. This does not mean. That they will remain Naked in Heaven. And I do not think the Bible suggests this. God is showing their Nakedness because they did not serve him. White Robes are the Righteousness of the Saints. Nakedness is their lack of Righteousness.

Revelation 19:8 “And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.”

When you get to Heaven you will be Naked or Clothed because of your Righteousness. In a White Robe. You have to have lived a Righteous Christian Life to get a White Robe. The Bible makes this clear.

The Bible teaches us that Nakedness is Shameful. The Naked people in Heaven. Are Shameful. Because they did not Live for Jesus. Every Lost person will be Naked.

The following is a depiction of what will happen. When the Bride of Christ. The Church gets to Heaven:

Revelation 19:1 And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God:

2 For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.

3 And again they said, Alleluia. And her smoke rose up for ever and ever.

4 And the four and twenty elders and the four beasts fell down and worshipped God that sat on the throne, saying, Amen; Alleluia.

5 And a voice came out of the throne, saying, Praise our God, all ye his servants, and ye that fear him, both small and great.

6 And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.

7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.

8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.

9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.

10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.

11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.

12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.

13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.

14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.

15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.

16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, King Of Kings, And Lord Of Lords.

Once a Christian dies they are immediately in Heaven with the Lord.

2nd Corinthians 5:8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.

9 Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him.

10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.

11 Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences.

10 “ …that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.”

11 “Knowing therefore the Terror of the Lord…”

These Words Should Terrify everyone. Jesus will show us every Bad thing we have Done AS a Christian.

TERROR, TERROR, TERROR!!!!

Hebrews 10:3 “It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.”

God wants every person alive to understand. That when their Life on Earth is over. Jesus will Judge them. In Vivid Color. Jesus will Judge all of our Works for Jesus, our Christian Service. The Good and the Bad.

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

We will cry. Because of all the time we wasted. On useless worthless pleasures. Hours watching the TV daily. Living in Sin. The missed opportunities we had to serve Jesus. To witness to people, to Share the Gospel.

We will Cry. When we see Friends and Family members Judged by Jesus. And cast into the Lake of Fire.

Revelation 20:11 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.

Revelation 21:4 “And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.”

“…the former things are passed away.” Do you understand what this really means? Everyone you knew in your life. Who went to Hell. You will not remember them.

Your memory of your Father, Mother, Brothers, Sisters, Grandparents, Aunts, and Uncles. All Family, All Friends. You knew who went to Hell / The Lake of Fire. You will not remember anything about them.

Isaiah 65:17 “For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.”

When Jesus creates the New Heavens and the New Earth we will not remember our Past. The Past will not even come into our minds.

Heaven is not about us. It is not about our past. Heaven is about Jesus. In Heaven we will have a new glorified body. An entirely new life.

Jesus is the Focus of Heaven Not us. There will be no great reunion. Where we will be hugging family members. People we lived our lives with. Lost people for hundreds of years. Have painted pictures of Heaven. And have written books about Heaven. That are Not Biblical, Not true. There are no Husbands and Wives with their Children in Heaven. The Families we had on Earth. Will not exist like that in Heaven. In Heaven we will be one big family. The Bride of Christ.  

Jesus will Judge us As soon as we get to Heaven. We will not be hugging people we knew on Earth. Having this grand family celebration. We will have glorified bodies like Jesus’s resurrected body.

We will have Joy in Heaven. Joy that the Bible does not fully explain. We will be full of Joy just being in the amazingly beautiful city of Heaven. Seeing Angels and other Spiritual Beings.  Meeting Jesus will give us the greatest possible Joy.  Our future in Heaven will be working as leaders in Jesus’s Kingdom.  Heaven is not a Lazy city. It is a very active busy city. The Bible says we will judge Angels:

1st Corinthians 6:3 Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?”

Please do not miss out on Eternal Life in Heaven.

2nd Corinthians 6:2 “(For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)”

Bible Salvation.

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: 

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.

Jesus Died In Our Place On The Cross, At His Feet Was Mary His Mother Crying.

Mary The Mother of Jesus was at Risk Her Entire Life, she was Very Brave.

Mary being pregnant with Jesus, without being married, was in Danger of being put to Death. Stoning was the Penalty for Fornication. Mary and Joseph were in Great Danger from King Herod. They had to Flee from Herod.

Mary was an Active part of the Ministries of Jesus. She Risked Her Life Daily. Mary was Indeed Very Brave.

Matthew 1:18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. 19 Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily. 20 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. 21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins. 22 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, 23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. 24 Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife: 25 And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name Jesus.

Mary was at the Foot of The Cross of Jesus, at his Feet. She Witnessed Jesus Suffering. Mary Watched in Agony, Jesus Dying for 3+ hours.

John 19:23 Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also his coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout. 24 They said therefore among themselves, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, They parted my raiment among them, and for my vesture they did cast lots. These things therefore the soldiers did.

25 Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene.

26 When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son! 27 Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home.

Mary Never Left Jesus.

Judas Betrayed Jesus. Peter Denied Jesus 3 Times. 9 of the Disciples of Jesus Fled. They Ran Away and hid, after Jesus was Taken Away in Chains in The Garden of Gethsemane. Of the 12 Disciples of Jesus Only John Stayed with Jesus the Whole time. He was with Mary the mother of Jesus, and the 2 other Mary’s at The Cross of Jesus.

Mary was a young woman. Around 16 years old when she discovered:

Luke 1:42 And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb. 43 And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?44 For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy.

45 And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.

46 And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord,

47 And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.

48 For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.

49 For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is his name.

It is Impossible to comprehend being the mother of Jesus. Jesus was God in the flesh.

Mary became the mother of Jesus by the Holy Ghost. She carried him in her belly for 9 months or so. She Held Him in her arms.

She heard his first words. Watched his first steps…

She knew Jesus her Son was Born to Die for the Sins of the Whole World.

Mary was the only person with Jesus from His Birth to His Death, to his Burial and to his Resurrection.

Mary was Faithful to Jesus.

Being the mother of Jesus was Very Dangerous. Mary Risked being Stoned to Death by her own Family for being pregnant without being married.

King Herod Threaten her Life. Mary traveled far and wide with Jesus and Joseph under the Constant Danger of being found and Murdered.

Mary Suffered Greatly seeing Jesus’s Beaten Bloody Body. She Witnessed the Nails being Driven through the hands and feet of Jesus.

She Felt the Pain and Suffering of Jesus as the Nails were being Driven through his hands and feet.

Mary Suffered along with Jesus as he Hung Nailed on The Cross for 3 plus hours Dying…

Yes, Mary was Blessed by God. She was an Amazing woman the mother of Jesus.

Mary was not God though. She did not stay a virgin. She had Sons and Daughters with Joseph her husband.

Matthew 13:54 And when he was come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works?

55 Is not this the carpenter’s son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?

56 And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things?

57 And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house.

58 And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.

Catholic Mary Worship
Jesus Died In Our Place On The Cross, At His Feet Was Mary His Mother Crying. 10

Please do not pray to Mary. Do Not Bow Down to Statues, Idols of Mary. Do Not Worship Mary.

Salvation is through Jesus only. Jesus died for the Sins of the Whole World not Mary.

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

Hebrews 10:4 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;

13 From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool.

14 For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.

15 Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before,

16 This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;

17 And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.

18 Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.

Mary is worthy of the greatest respect, Not Worship.

This song about Mary Always makes me cry:

Mary, Did You Know?”

Lyrics Written by Mark Lowry in 1984

Music Written by Buddy Greene in 1991

Mary, did you know
that your Baby Boy would save our sons and daughters?
Did you know
that your Baby Boy has come to make you new?
This Child that you delivered will soon deliver you.

Mary, did you know
that your Baby Boy will give sight to a blind man?
Mary, did you know
that your Baby Boy will calm the storm with His hand?
Did you know
that your Baby Boy has walked where angels trod?
When you kiss your little Baby you kissed the face of God?

Mary did you know. Ooo Ooo Ooo

The blind will see.
The deaf will hear.
The dead will live again.
The lame will leap.
The dumb will speak
The praises of The Lamb.

Mary, did you know
that your Baby Boy is Lord of all creation?
Mary, did you know
that your Baby Boy would one day rule the nations?
Did you know
that your Baby Boy is heaven’s perfect Lamb?
The sleeping Child you’re holding is the Great, I Am.

Finally, Mary the mother of Jesus was a Truly Great woman of God, but she was Only a flesh and blood woman.

Mary is Not: Queen Mother Mary of Heaven, The Virgin Mary, a Goddess. She had Sons and Daughters after Jesus was born. So, No it is a Lie that Mary remained a Virgin her whole Life. 

It is Blasphemy to Pray to the “Virgin” Mary, to Bow down to Her Idols, to Worship her. 

 Salvation is Only Through Jesus:

Jesus died for all Sin. Salvation is a Free Gift offered to Everyone.

The Bible does not say to Repent of Sin. Jesus died for all Sin. No one goes to Hell for Sin. People go to Hell for one reason only for rejecting Jesus free gift of Salvation.

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;

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

2nd Corinthians 5:15 And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.

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

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

1st Peter 2:24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.

1st John 4:10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

Titus 2:14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.   

Hebrews 1:3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;  

2nd Corinthians 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

John 3:12 If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?

13 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.

14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:

15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.

16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

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.

Believe on Jesus Only to be Saved. If you have not Asked Jesus to Save You, Please Ask him Right Now to Save You. Trust in Jesus Only to Save you. Believe The Gospel to be Saved:

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.

Salvation How To Be Saved.

Is there any place in the Bible where Salvation is Explained? How to Be Saved. Explained by Jesus, by John, by Paul?

Yes. Jesus says Believe on me to Be Saved. The Book of John is the Salvation Gospel. The Book of Romans is Paul explaining Salvation.

There is only one place in the Bible Where a person asks how to be Saved.

Acts 16:30 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?

31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.

The Greatest possible Question and Answer.

Question? What must I do to be Saved?

Answer: Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.

If you Believe the Bible is the 100% True word of God than this is how a person is Saved, period!!!! Plus nothing else.

When you read the Bible. You need to look at the entire context of the verse you are using.

Ask the following questions. Who is speaking? Who is being spoken to? What is the context? If the context is Saved from Physical Death, from earthly things, than it is Not Salvation from Hell. Saved from Hell.

Salvation verses are to Lost people. The audience is Lost people. Some verses that are Not Salvation verses. Are when the person speaking. Is talking to an audience of people who are Saved. Obviously if the audience is a group of Saved people. The subject being spoken about is not Saved from Hell. It is typically instructions for Living Life as a Christian.

Here is the entire passage in Acts Chapter 16.

The only place in the Bible where a person clearly asks. What must I do to be Saved? And the Apostle Paul answers the question.

Acts 16:25 And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them.

26 And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one’s bands were loosed.

27 And the keeper of the prison awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled.

28 But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here.

29 Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas,

30 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?

31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.

32 And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house.

To be Saved from Hell. Believe on Jesus. In the next verse Jesus tells us how to be Saved.

John 6:47 “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.”

Understand. This is Jesus saying, how to be Saved: “He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.”

It can not get any clearer than this verse. Jesus did not say “Being Saved is a process with many steps…” “You have to Repent of all of your Sins.” “You must Forsake and Turn from Sin.”

No Jesus said: “He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.” This is immediate Salvation for just Believing on Jesus. Hath Everlasting Life means exactly that. You are Saved as soon as you Believe on Jesus.

Believe on Jesus only to be Saved. Is Not an Isolated Teaching. The Bible says this repeatedly.

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.”

Acts 4:12 “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.”

Belief in Jesus ONLY to Save you is what the Bible teaches.

John 8:24 “I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.”

John 14:6 “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”

1st Peter 1:18 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;

19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:

20 Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,

21 Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.

22 Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:

23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.

24 For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away:

25 But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.

If you Believe on Jesus than you Believe 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:

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.

Please if you have not Asked Jesus to Save you Please Ask Jesus right now to Save you.

As soon as you Believe the Gospel. As the only way to be Saved. Than you will be immediately Saved.

The Gospels Are About Jesus. Matthew, Mark, Luke And John Explained, A Summary.

Bible Salvation, The Gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John are about Jesus, His Earthly Ministry. They are part of The New Testament. They are Not Part of the Old Testament Like Many False Counterfeit Churches Falsely Claim.

IFB, Independent Fundamentalist Baptist Dispensationalist, Churches Teach that The Gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John are Not part of the New Testament. They Deny Jesus, The Gospel. They Teach Calvinism a False Gospel. They Falsely say that the 4 Gospels belong in the Old Testament. This is Not Credible. It is Hypocritical. Because they Claim to be Bible Believers. In all Bibles published the 4 Gospels are in the New Testament. These “Bible Believer’s” Deny that the Bible they use is divided correctly.

There are Numerous Church Denominations that say the Gospels are Old Testament Books.

I Strongly Disagree with False Churches that Say the Gospel’s are Old Testament Books. The Gospel’s Matthew, Mark, Luke and John are Part of the New Testament.

1st) Every Bible ever published has the Gospels in the New Testament. 

2nd) Jesus is the mediator of the New Testament. Jesus is the New Testament. His Innocent Perfect Life was the only worthy Sacrifice to Pay for All of the Sins of the world. The Life of Jesus, his earthly ministry are part of the New Testament. The Old Testament is everything before Jesus Birth on the Earth. The Old Testament Saints were looking forward to Jesus.

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.

Matthew 26:28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.

Mark 14:24 And he said unto them, This is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many.

Luke 22:20 Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.

Bible Salvation: No One was ever Saved by the Law.

The Old Testament saints. Were Waiting for Jesus. To Fulfill the Law. And Atone for the Sins of the Whole World.

Matthew 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.

18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

Romans 10:1 Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved.

2 For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.

3 For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.

4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.

5 For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them.

6 But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:)

7 Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.)

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.

Jesus Fulfilled the Law by Living a Perfect Sinless Life.

Romans 10: Everyone that Believes on Jesus To Be Saved Believes the Gospel, gets Jesus’s Righteousness.

Most people in the Old Testament days Did Not correctly understand the Law. They were not looking for the Promised Messiah. They were Establishing Their OWN Righteousness.

Romans 10:12 Proves that Everyone from the Old Testament, that was Saved, was Saved by Jesus.

The New Testament completed the Old Testament.

There has Always Only been One Path to Heaven, To Salvation and that is The Saviour The Lord Jesus Christ.

IFB Baptist Dispensationalist, “Bible Believer’s,” Put the Gospels Matthew, Mark, Luke and John into the Old Testament. I completely Reject this Lie. I trust that my Bible is Correct with the Gospels in the New Testament.

Matthew, Mark, Luke and John are written from different Perspectives:

The Gospel’s give a complete picture of the Lord Jesus Christ. How He was the Fulfillment of Old Testament Promises.

The four Gospels we have in our Bible today. Are called Canonical Gospels. This means they are included in the Canon of Scripture of the New Testament. I have never seen a Bible for Sale anywhere that puts the Gospels into the Old Testament.

Abraham knew the Gospel. King David Knew the Gospel. Adam and Eve they knew the Gospel. The Promise of Jesus was not a Secret Hidden until the New Testament.

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

Romans 4:1 What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found?

2 For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God.

3 For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.

4 Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.

5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.

6 Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,

7 Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.

8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.

9 Cometh this blessedness then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness.

10 How was it then reckoned? when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.

d07d9e8be31b71522f1f0268d06203a7

Everyone is Saved by Faith in Jesus Only. This is what the Whole Bible Teaches, Both the Old and the New Testament.

Romans 4:16 Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all,

17 (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.

18 Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations; according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be.

19 And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah’s womb:

20 He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God;

21 And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.

22 And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.

23 Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him;

24 But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead;

25 Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.

Right here in Romans Chapter 4: The Bible, Jesus, is Clear that the People in the Old Testament Understood that Jesus was coming to Die for All of the Sins of the World. They were Looking Forward to Salvation Through Jesus.

Lost False Teachers / False Churches they Mock Actual Christians for saying:

“The Old Testament Saints were Looking Forward to the Cross for Jesus. While New Testament Christians are Looking Back at Jesus and the Cross.”

Romans Chapter 4 is Clear that Salvation in the Entire Bible is Only Through Jesus and Not Ever by the Works of the Law. The Law Never Saved One Person.

The Book of Faith is Hebrews, it Proves that Salvation is Only Through Jesus No Matter if You Lived During the Old Testament or During the New Testament. The Bible Only Teaches One Way to Heaven, Through Jesus Only, Not by the Works of the Law.

Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

2 For by it the elders obtained a good report.

3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.

4 By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.

5 By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.

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

7 By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.

8 By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.

9 By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise:

10 For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God.

11 Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised.

12 Therefore sprang there even of one, and him as good as dead, so many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable.

13 These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.

Verse 13 could not be more clear. Everyone in the Old Testament saw the Promise of Salvation Through Jesus afar off. They Died Believing this in Faith.

14 For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country.

15 And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned.

16 But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.

17 By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son,

18 Of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called:

19 Accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead; from whence also he received him in a figure.

20 By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come.

21 By faith Jacob, when he was a dying, blessed both the sons of Joseph; and worshipped, leaning upon the top of his staff.

22 By faith Joseph, when he died, made mention of the departing of the children of Israel; and gave commandment concerning his bones.

23 By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months of his parents, because they saw he was a proper child; and they were not afraid of the king’s commandment.

24 By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter;

25 Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;

26 Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward.

27 By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible.

28 Through faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of blood, lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them.

29 By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians assaying to do were drowned.

30 By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they were compassed about seven days.

31 By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them that believed not, when she had received the spies with peace.

32 And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets:

33 Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,

34 Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens.

35 Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection:

36 And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment:

37 They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented;

38 (Of whom the world was not worthy:) they wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.

39 And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise:

40 God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.

Hebrews Chapter 11 is the Chapter on Faith. Guess what? Salvation from Genesis to Revelation is through Faith Only. Faith in Jesus, Faith in the Gospel only for Salvation.

Look at these verses:

Hebrews 11:13These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.”

Galatians 3:1 O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you?

2 This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?

3 Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?

4 Have ye suffered so many things in vain? if it be yet in vain.

5 He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?

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.

12 And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.

13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:

14 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

15 Brethren, I speak after the manner of men; Though it be but a man’s covenant, yet if it be confirmed, no man disannulleth, or addeth thereto.

16 Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.

17 And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect.

18 For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise.

19 Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.

20 Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is one.

21 Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law.

22 But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.

Salvation from Genesis to Revelation is Belief in Jesus Blood Atonement. Abraham and Everyone Born was Saved by the Gospel Only through Jesus Only. Not by the Works of the Law.

The Bible is One Book. The Old Testament and The New Testament is About Jesus Reaching out to Save Mankind from the Penalty of All of their Sins.

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.

How to Be Saved:

Acts 16:30 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? 31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.

Simply Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, the Gospel of our Salvation, to be Saved.

The Faith to be Believe on Jesus is childlike Faith.

Matthew 19:14 But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.

Matthew 19:14 / Luke 18:16 Show that the theme of the entire Bible is that Salvation is Free and Offered to Everyone the same way. It does not say Jewish children only. Gentile children only. No it says, “little children.” That includes all children. ALL.

The Gospel of Matthew:

The Gospel of Matthew Shows Jesus Preaching and teaching to both the Jews and the Gentiles. Jesus is presented as the Son of God. And the King of the Jews. Jesus is Immanuel. God with us. The entire book is composed of Five large blocks of teaching. (5:1-7:29; 10:11-42; 13:1-52; 18:1-35; 24:1-25:46.)

Outline of The Gospel of Matthew:

1. The Person of Jesus (ch. 1:1 – 4:16). 2. The Proclamations of Jesus (ch. 4:17 – 16:20). 3. The Passion of Jesus (ch. 16:21 – 28:20).

The Church.

Matthew is the only Gospel to use the word Church. He uses it two different times.

Matthew 18:15 Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.

16 But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.

17 And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican.

18 Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
19 Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. 20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

Jesus’s Authority:

Matthew, like the other Gospels, describes Jesus Miracles and Teachings as Powerful and Authoritative. Matthew puts extra emphasis on Jesus Authority over All things. Nothing can stand in the way of God’s forward-moving Kingdom. (Mt 16:18; 28:18).

The Gospel of Mark:

Mark describes the life of Jesus with an Apocalyptic thrust and Intensity. It is the shortest of the four Gospels. Mark was not an Apostle himself. He was a Disciple of Peter. A missionary with both Peter and Paul. His Gospel reflects the action-packed, speedy, urgent nature of the Gospel Ministry. It shows us how Jesus calls us to a Life of Active Faith.

Mark’s Gospel is concerned with the question and the Identity of Jesus as the Messianic Son of God.

Jesus is the suffering servant Messiah.

Vividly described in Isaiah 53. The one who would come to Pay for All of the Sins of the whole world.

Mark’s Gospel begins with this statement:

Mark 1:1 The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God

At his baptism, Jesus is confirmed to be the Messianic Son of God. By a voice from heaven.

Mark 9:7 And there was a cloud that overshadowed them: and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.

At the end of the book. The Roman centurion states:

Mark 15:39 And when the centurion, which stood over against him, saw that he so cried out, and gave up the ghost, he said, Truly this man was the Son of God.

Outline of The Gospel of Mark:

1. Preliminary Ministry (ch. 1:1-15). 2. Galilean Ministry (ch. 1:16 – 8:26). 3. True Nature of Ministry (ch. 8:27 – 10:52). 4. Ministry in Jerusalem (ch. 11:1 – 13:37). 5. Passion Narrative (ch. 14:1 – 16:8).

Secrecy:

Although all Gospels mention Jesus hushing the recipients of his Miracles. Mark includes many more incidents than the others. Time and time again. Mark records Jesus ordering people not to speak of his miraculous acts of healing. Much of his ministry was Discreet. Just as God often works in mysterious and unseen ways in our lives. (Mk 3:11; 5:35-39.)

Incompetence of the Disciples:

Mark is Harsh in his depiction of the Disciples.

Making frequent mention of their confusion, bickering, and selfishness. On the one hand. This shows the futility of trying to understand everything God is doing. It encourages obedience even before total comprehension.

On the other hand. This encourages others who want to serve Jesus. But don’t feel adequately prepared or trained. The disciples were not especially gifted or especially attentive. Yet they changed the world. Because they Believed Jesus’ message and received His Spirit. (Mk 8:14-20; 9:31.)

Jesus is The Way:

Mark uses the word “Way” unusually often in his description of Jesus’ travels. Many of the most significant events and discussions in the book. Happen “along the way.” To somewhere or other. Showing that the Journey of Faith is as important as the Destination. That God is leading us down a particular Path. In order to prepare us for the next curve in the road. (Mk 1:2; 8:27; 9:33; 10:32,52; 12:14.)

The Gospel of Luke:

Luke’s Gospel Emphasizes God’s Fulfillment of his Promises to All mankind. Not only to his chosen people the Jews.

Luke stresses the inclusiveness of the gospel to every person. To Jews, to Gentiles, to everyone. Luke shows The Gospel being spoken to: Children, Women, the Poor, and the Disenfranchised. The Gospel of Luke was written, to give Assurance of the Validity of Jesus Ministry.

Outline of The Book of Luke:

1. Christian Beginnings (ch. 1:1 – 4:13). 2. Jesus in Galilee (ch. 4:14 – 9:50). 3. Jesus’ Journey to Jerusalem (ch. 9:51 – 19:44). 4. Jesus In Jerusalem (ch. 19:45 – 21:38). 5. Jesus’ Passion (ch. 22 – 24).

Eye witness to Historical Facts:

Luke 1:1 Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration of those things which are most surely believed among us, 2 Even as they delivered them unto us, which from the beginning were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word; 3 It seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of all things from the very first, to write unto thee in order, most excellent Theophilus, 4 That thou mightest know the certainty of those things, wherein thou hast been instructed.

Luke records many Historical Facts that the other Gospels do not. Providing us with the most complete record of Jesus’s Birth and Childhood.

Luke places special emphasis on Jesus’ social ministry. To the poor, the oppressed, the lower class, the gentiles, the women, and the children.

The Infancy narratives in Luke 1:1-2:52 are unique to Luke:

These passages include. Both the foretelling and the birth of John the Baptist and Jesus. (1:5-25; 1:26-38; 1:57-66; 2:1- 21.)

Luke gives us the most information about Jesus’ childhood.

Luke defines The Gospel again as for the humble. The meek, the small, and the uninitiated. Even the little children Can Believe in Jesus with all of their Heart: That Jesus is the Savior of the whole world.

Luke 18:16 But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.

Women:

Luke makes it a point to show the prominent role that women played in Jesus’s Ministry.

This was very counter-cultural. As women were not even allowed to be trained by a Rabbi in these days. It serves as one more example of God’s heart for the oppressed. The Universal Scope of The Gospel. It was for All Men and All Women. Excluding No One from Salvation, the reach of God’s Love,. (2:38; 7:36; 8:1-3; 10:38; 15:8-10; 18:1-5; 23:27-31; 24:1-11.)

The Gospel of John:

John’s Gospel is rather different from Matthew, Mark, and Luke’s. They repeat the same events.

The Book of John Emphasizes Christ’s Deity portraying Him as God.

John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

Jesus is also the Word. Your Bible is the Word of God. Written by Jesus.

John 20:31 explains that the Book of John was written so people would have life (Eternal Life) by Believing that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God.

John 20:31 But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.

The spiritual Relationship we have with God through a New Birth is emphasized. To be Born Again by the Spirit of God.

The majority of John’s Gospel. Tells us about Christ’s last week on earth. Because this was the purpose of His coming. To save the world from Sin. And to give Eternal life. Jesus is “The Life.” And it is His life that He gives. Lays down for us.

Jesus is the Son of God who is equal to the Father:

Sent to finish the Father’s work in the world. God’s own glory is made visible in Him. (“Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father,” 14:9.) What he does glorifies the Father. Importantly, a series of “I Am’s” spoken by Jesus.’ Echoes God’s naming of himself in. Ex 3:14. Showing that Jesus is God. Equal to God the Father. The Father and the Son are one. (6:358:129:510:7,9,1411:2514:615:1,5.)

Jesus’ words to Nicodemus in John Chapter 3 describes how to be Saved:

John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. 4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born? 5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. 8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. 9 Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be? 10 Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things? 11 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness. 12 If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things? 13 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. 14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: 15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 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.

The Outline of the Book of John:

Outline: 1. Jesus public Ministry (1:19 – 12:50) 2. Private Ministry (13 – 17) 3. Jesus Suffering and Death (18 – 19) 4. Resurrection and Victory (20 – 21)

Jesus offered Salvation to the Gentiles:

Jesus and The woman of Samaria, Salvation is a Choice Offered to Everyone to Either Accept or Reject Jesus:

John 4:7 There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink. 8 (For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.) 9 Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans. 10 Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water. 11 The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water? 12 Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle? 13 Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: 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. 15 The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw. 16 Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither. 17 The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband: 18 For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly. 19 The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet. 20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. 21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. 22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews. 23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. 25 The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things. 26 Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he. 27 And upon this came his disciples, and marvelled that he talked with the woman: yet no man said, What seekest thou? or, Why talkest thou with her? 28 The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men, 29 Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ? 30 Then they went out of the city, and came unto him.

Jesus is the Author of the Bible. He created the Heavens and the Earth. The subject of the entire Bible is Jesus.

Jesus’s Promise was the Redemption of mankind to Everyone who Believes on Him, Who Believes the Gospel Only to Be Saved:

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:

Jesus Taught Salvation to Everyone Not Just to the Jews:

There is Only One Way to Be Saved for both the Jews and the Gentiles, The Gospel. Not one plan of Salvation for the Jews and another for the Gentiles.

The entire Bible was written to and applies to Everyone from Genesis to Revelation. You cannot throw out entire books of the Bible. By saying incorrectly that they were only written to the Jews. Or to the Gentiles or some other group of people.

Romans 15:4 For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.

2nd Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:”

ALL, ALL, ALL, Scripture!!!!
