Jonah And Lot Are Examples of God’s Mercy

Jonah was a very complicated person.

Thousands of Sermons, Let alone Children’s Bible Lessons, have been given on the Book of Jonah. It is rich with Bible Lessons to be taught and Learned.

Jonah was a Vile Wicked Person:

Jonah 4:11 But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was very angry. 2 And he prayed unto the Lord, and said, I pray thee, O Lord, was not this my saying, when I was yet in my country? Therefore I fled before unto Tarshish: for I knew that thou art a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repentest thee of the evil. 3 Therefore now, O Lord, take, I beseech thee, my life from me; for it is better for me to die than to live. 4 Then said the Lord, Doest thou well to be angry?

Jonah was Displeased with and Angry at God… Wow!!!

I have seen this attitude in “Christians” for over 40 years. There is a Lot of Hate in “Christians” in Pastor’s.

I know Pastor’s that are Like Jonah. These Wicked Pastor’s do Not Want to See Everyone Saved. One example is they Hate Homosexuals. If they have anything to do with them it is Full of Hate.

News Flash Homosexuality is Not an Unforgivable Sin.

Yes Saved people can be and many are Homosexuals. Just like there are Christians caught up in Numerous Sins: Adultery, Cheating on their Wives / their Husbands, Fornication, Being Drunks, Drug Addiction, etc…, the List of Sins is extremely Long.

There are Hate Groups that Parade about as “Christians” as “Christian Churches” that attend LGBTQIA+ events Not to Try and see anyone Saved. They go to Mock, to Attack them Not to Share the Gospel.

Wicked Vile Christians:

These Wicked People (Some of them are probably Saved Like Jonah…) Do Not Want Homosexuals to Be Saved. They are Hypocrites. They discount their own Sins… They think they are Better than the Homosexuals. I have News for You. Your own Sins are Not Better than the Sin of Homosexuality. Homosexuality is a Sin like Smoking, Drinking, Sexual Sins, Drug Addiction, any Other Addiction.

I have seen these type of “Christian” Hypocrites that Get into other People’s Faces about Sin, I have seen them Smoking, doing things that they get into other people’s faces about. I Even knew a Church going closet Homosexual who was like this.

Closeted Homosexuals in numerous Baptist Churches (Not All, a portion of them.) will attend Anti-Homosexual Rallies and be one of the Biggest voices Condemning them. The History of Congress / Politicians has shown us that Many outspoken Politicians that have made it their mission to Speak out against Homosexuals are themselves Homosexuals.

Jonah Finally Does What God Told him to Do.

Jonah 3:1 And the word of the Lord came unto Jonah the second time, saying, 2 Arise, go unto Nineveh, that great city, and preach unto it the preaching that I bid thee. 3 So Jonah arose, and went unto Nineveh, according to the word of the Lord. Now Nineveh was an exceeding great city of three days’ journey. 4 And Jonah began to enter into the city a day’s journey, and he cried, and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown. 5 So the people of Nineveh believed God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them. 6 For word came unto the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, and he laid his robe from him, and covered him with sackcloth, and sat in ashes. 7 And he caused it to be proclaimed and published through Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles, saying, Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste any thing: let them not feed, nor drink water: 8 But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily unto God: yea, let them turn every one from his evil way, and from the violence that is in their hands. 9 Who can tell if God will turn and repent, and turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not? 10 And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not.

Jonah 3:9,10 are used by False Teachers to Teach the False Gospel of Repent of Sin to Be Saved. The context of Jonah 3:9,10 is very important. Please read to the end. I will explain Jonah 3:9,10 below.

Hypocrites are Everywhere. Jonah was a Huge Hypocrite.

Jonah was a very Poor Excuse for an Evangelist. He was a Bitter Judgmental Hypocrite that was Happy to see Thousands of people killed by God. He was Angry that God did Not Just Kill them. He wanted to see God Kill them. Jonah was a Blood Thirsty Psychopath.

Jonah and Lot

The Bible depiction of Jonah and Lot are very similar in one aspect. They both had the opportunity to Save a City / Cities. With Lot he was tasked with Saving The Cities On The Plain. Which included Sodom and Gomorrah.

Both Lot and Jonah had the ability to Save a City / Cities from destruction. Lot wanted to Save the lives of all the people in all the Cities on the plain. But Jonah on the other hand Hated the people of Nineveh and wanted to Watch Them All Burn like Sodom and Gomorrah did.

Saved People, Evangelist, etc…, Can Be Vile Sinners.

The Scriptures show that Jonah was Vile. Jonah was and remained a man of God… Lot is Vile as well Remember he had Sex with his two daughters.  But at least he wanted to Save Lives so I put Lot way ahead of Jonah.

Proof that God Wrote the Bible is seen in the depictions of both Jonah and Lot.

The Bible shows how Vile they Both were. (Lot had Sex with Both of his Daughters.) The Bible doesn’t cover up the Sins of Bible Saints. Yes both Lot and Jonah were Saints of God. They were imperfect but God still used them.

Lot’s Task:

Lot was tasked with having to have Saved 10 souls only his own household. His household would have been much more than 10 souls. For example Abraham’s household was in the hundreds.

Genesis 18:23 And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked? 24 Peradventure there be fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are therein?

Abraham expected that Lot would have at least 10 members of his household who were Saved. So when Abraham was able to get God to agree to spare the Cites if 10 righteous people were found he stopped thinking that Lot certainly had 10 people Saved in his household.

There is Only One True Way to Be Saved in the Bible:

Bible Salvation is Believing the Gospel Only to be Saved. No person has / will go to Hell the Lake of Fire because of Sin. Jesus died for all Sin.

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.”

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.”

Hebrews 9:13 For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh:14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?15 And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.16 For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator.

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

God gave Israel the Law in the Old Testament.

The Testator of the Old Testament were animals like sheep.

The New Testament Testator was Jesus. Jesus death began the New Testament.

In the New Testament Salvation is defined as the Gospel:

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

A person is Saved by Believing in Jesus as the only way to Heaven. Believing that Jesus death, burial and resurrection is the only possible payment for our Sins. The only way to be Saved is putting our faith in Jesus to save us.

Were Old Testament Believers Saved by Jesus Only too?

Yes.

Jesus’ Death on the Cross Gives Eternal Salvation for All Believers, whether they lived before or after him.

In both the Old and New Testament everyone is Saved By Grace, through Faith in Jesus.

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

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

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

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

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

Old Testament Believers were not Saved by animal sacrifices:

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

The Old Testament 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 Alone in Jesus.

Abraham:

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

Galatians 3:6 Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.7 Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.9 So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.11 But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.

You Must Understand That There Is Only One True Gospel.

The Bible here in Galatians 3 said that God preached the Gospel to Abraham.

Galatians 1:6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: 7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. 8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. 9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.

Lot’s and Jonah’s tasks were the same.

Lot failed to Save 10 souls. Jonah was very successful, despite his own feelings, in Saving enough Souls that God decided to Spare Nineveh.

Jonah 3:9 Who can tell if God will turn and repent, and turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not? 10 And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not.

Explaining Jonah 3:9,10

10 And God saw their works…

Their Works… God is Telling us here that Turning From Sins their Evil Way is Works.

I hear Countless People who push the Repent of Sin False Gospel Say that Repenting of Sin is Not Works. God Clearly says that it is Works. Repent of Sin is also called: To Forsake Sin and To Turn From Sin to be Saved.

The people of Nineveh were trusting in their Own Good Works to Save them just like every Lost person in history. The Evil way they Turned from was not Sin, it was Trusting in their own Good Works.

The people of Nineveh were Saved by Believing the Gospel Only.

Abraham was Lot’s brother and Abraham knew the Gospel so it is a given that Lot also knew the Gospel and Believed the Gospel just like Abraham.

Jonah God’s Evangelist, he obviously knew the Gospel. He was an Evangelist, a Soul Winner. If you understand the entire Bible you will see that the Gospel started in Genesis and is present throughout the whole Bible.

Jonah 3:5So the people of Nineveh believed God…

Nineveh was Saved by the people in Nineveh that Believed God. The only way to be Saved is to Believe the Gospel in both the Old and New Testaments.

The people of Nineveh did not just Believe that God would destroy Nineveh (They obviously knew that God had destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.) that fact was a given. Jonah’s Preaching showed them they were Trusting in their Own Good Works to Save themselves.

Jonah 3:5 So the people of Nineveh believed God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them. 6 For word came unto the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, and he laid his robe from him, and covered him with sackcloth, and sat in ashes. 7 And he caused it to be proclaimed and published through Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles, saying, Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste any thing: let them not feed, nor drink water: 8 But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily unto God: yea, let them turn every one from his evil way, and from the violence that is in their hands. 9 Who can tell if God will turn and repent, and turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not? 10 And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not.

FORGIVEN: JESUS FORGIVES. JESUS’ MERCIFUL FORGIVENESS

Jesus Ministry of Forgiveness

Luke 23:34 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.

Matthew 6:9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. 10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. 11 Give us this day our daily bread. 12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. 13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. 14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: 15 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

Matthew 18:21 Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? 22 Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.

Ephesians 1:7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;

Colossians 1:4 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: 15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:

Colossians 1:12 Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: 13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: 14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: 15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: 16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: 17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. 18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.

Salvation = Accepting Jesus Forgiveness

Free Will Allows us to Either Accept Jesus Forgiveness or to Reject Jesus: Reject Jesus Mercy his Forgiveness.

Luke 23:34 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots. 35 And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also with them derided him, saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if he be Christ, the chosen of God. 36 And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and offering him vinegar, 37 And saying, If thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself. 38 And a superscription also was written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, This Is The King Of The Jews. 39 And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us. 40 But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation? 41 And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss. 42 And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. 43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise. 44 And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour. 45 And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst. 46 And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost. 47 Now when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, Certainly this was a righteous man. 48 And all the people that came together to that sight, beholding the things which were done, smote their breasts, and returned. 49 And all his acquaintance, and the women that followed him from Galilee, stood afar off, beholding these things.

Salvation is as Simple as Asking Jesus to Save You.

Before the Thief on the Cross Asked Jesus to Save him, Jesus had already Forgiven him.

No One Goes to Hell for Sin. People Go to Hell Only Because they Reject Jesus Forgiveness, His Free Gift of Salvation.

Why do People Reject Jesus?

Because People Are Proud. They Don’t Want to Be Saved. They Don’t Want to Be Told what is Right and What is Wrong.

Judges 21:25 In those days there was no king in Israel: every man did that which was right in his own eyes.

Psalms 12:4 Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us?

Proverbs 14:9 Fools make a mock at sin: but among the righteous there is favour. 10 The heart knoweth his own bitterness; and a stranger doth not intermeddle with his joy. 11 The house of the wicked shall be overthrown: but the tabernacle of the upright shall flourish. 12 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. 13 Even in laughter the heart is sorrowful; and the end of that mirth is heaviness. 14 The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways: and a good man shall be satisfied from himself. 15 The simple believeth every word: but the prudent man looketh well to his going. 16 A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil: but the fool rageth, and is confident. 17 He that is soon angry dealeth foolishly: and a man of wicked devices is hated. 18 The simple inherit folly: but the prudent are crowned with knowledge.

Micah 2:1 Woe to them that devise iniquity, and work evil upon their beds! when the morning is light, they practice it, because it is in the power of their hand. 2 And they covet fields, and take them by violence; and houses, and take them away: so they oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage.

Job 21:13 They spend their days in wealth, and in a moment go down to the grave. 14 Therefore they say unto God, Depart from us; for we desire not the knowledge of thy ways. 15 What is the Almighty, that we should serve him? and what profit should we have, if we pray unto him? 16 Lo, their good is not in their hand: the counsel of the wicked is far from me. 17 How oft is the candle of the wicked put out! and how oft cometh their destruction upon them! God distributeth sorrows in his anger. 18 They are as stubble before the wind, and as chaff that the storm carrieth away.

The Lost Cry: Do Not Judge Me!!!

Do Not Judge Me!!! People Love to say this. They Hate Jesus / Christianity because they Do Not Want to be Held accountable for the Sins they Commit. They Love Being Wicked.

Proverbs 6:12 A naughty person, a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth. 13 He winketh with his eyes, he speaketh with his feet, he teacheth with his fingers; 14 Frowardness is in his heart, he deviseth mischief continually; he soweth discord. 15 Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken without remedy. 16 These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: 17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, 18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, 19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.

Proverbs 2:11 Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee: 12 To deliver thee from the way of the evil man, from the man that speaketh froward things; 13 Who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness; 14 Who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the frowardness of the wicked; 15 Whose ways are crooked, and they froward in their paths: 16 To deliver thee from the strange woman, even from the stranger which flattereth with her words; 17 Which forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God. 18 For her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead. 19 None that go unto her return again, neither take they hold of the paths of life. 20 That thou mayest walk in the way of good men, and keep the paths of the righteous.

This Type of Person, an EVIL Woman Loves her Sin. She Denies it is Sin.

Proverbs 30:20 Such is the way of an adulterous woman; she eateth, and wipeth her mouth, and saith, I have done no wickedness.

Men and Women Love their SINS and Deny that it is Even SIN. They are Not even a Little bit Ashamed of their Sins.

God Warns us about EVIL. There are EVIL Men and Women. The above passages are a Warning. People Hate the Bible because it Tells them who they are. It tells them NOT TO SIN.

EVIL Men and Women they Love the EVIL that they do. They want to Corrupt as many people as possible.

SEX Obsession Destroys!!!

Society Worships SEX.

A Man cannot be a Man Until He Has Has SEX… This is what Society says. SEX makes a Girl a Woman according to Society… Men and Women are Driven, Controlled by SEX!!!

Children are Sexualized by Hollywood. Preteen Girls and Boys are made SEX objects in Magazines, Online, on TV, in Movies.

Lolita (1955, Pedophile SEX being Normalized is Nothing New.) is about a Man’s Obsession and Sexual affair with a 12 year old Girl. Hollywood has made several films about this Novel. And countless similar Movies with Men and even Women having Sex with young Children. Book and Film critics say Lolita is ART.

Hollywood, Books, the Media, Sell SEX!!! The message is SEX is OK, Is Amazing, with Anyone you want to have SEX with, their Age doesn’t Matter…

People in this EVIL World LOVE Their SIN. They Think Everything they Do is Right.

Luke 16:13 No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. 14 And the Pharisees also, who were covetous, heard all these things: and they derided him. 15 And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.

Titus 1:15 Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled. 16 They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.

Proverbs 16:25 There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. 26 He that laboureth laboureth for himself; for his mouth craveth it of him. 27 An ungodly man diggeth up evil: and in his lips there is as a burning fire. 28 A froward man soweth strife: and a whisperer separateth chief friends. 29 A violent man enticeth his neighbour, and leadeth him into the way that is not good. 30 He shutteth his eyes to devise froward things: moving his lips he bringeth evil to pass.

Proverbs 21:2 Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the Lord pondereth the hearts. 3 To do justice and judgment is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice. 4 An high look, and a proud heart, and the plowing of the wicked, is sin. 5 The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness; but of every one that is hasty only to want. 6 The getting of treasures by a lying tongue is a vanity tossed to and fro of them that seek death. 7 The robbery of the wicked shall destroy them; because they refuse to do judgment. 8 The way of man is froward and strange: but as for the pure, his work is right. 9 It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman in a wide house. 10 The soul of the wicked desireth evil: his neighbour findeth no favour in his eyes. 11 When the scorner is punished, the simple is made wise: and when the wise is instructed, he receiveth knowledge. 12 The righteous man wisely considereth the house of the wicked: but God overthroweth the wicked for their wickedness.

Proud of Sin!!!

Isaiah 3:9 The shew of their countenance doth witness against them; and they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not. Woe unto their soul! for they have rewarded evil unto themselves. 10 Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him: for they shall eat the fruit of their doings. 11 Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him: for the reward of his hands shall be given him.

2nd Timothy 3:1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. 6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, 7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. 8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith. 9 But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was.

Wicked EVIL People:

Proverbs 28:1 The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion.

1st John 5:19 And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness. 20 And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.

Psalms 5:4 For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee. 5 The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity. 6 Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the Lord will abhor the bloody and deceitful man.

Psalms 34:10 The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the Lord shall not want any good thing. 11 Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the Lord. 12 What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many days, that he may see good? 13 Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile. 14 Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it. 15 The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry. 16 The face of the Lord is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth. 17 The righteous cry, and the Lord heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles. 18 The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit. 19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all. 20 He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken. 21 Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate. 22 The Lord redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate.

Why Do People Go To Hell?

People Go To Hell For Rejecting Jesus. They Get Mad at Being Told they Need to be Forgiven. They Hate Jesus. They Love their Sin. They Hate Being Made to Feel Guilty for their Sinful Behavior.

John 3:19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

John 8:42 Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me. 43 Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word. 44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. 45 And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not. 46 Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me? 47 He that is of God heareth God’s words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God. 48 Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil? 49 Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and ye do dishonour me. 50 And I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth. 51 Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death. 52 Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my saying, he shall never taste of death.

People who Reject Jesus Hate Jesus.

John 7:6 Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come: but your time is alway ready. 7 The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.

To Be Saved a person has to Realize they are Lost, a Sinner that Needs to be Saved from Hell.

Jesus Preached the Forgiveness of Sin.

That he was the Savior who came to Save the World. Jesus Came to Pay the Penalty for All of the Sins of the World.

John 3:14 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.

John 12:44 Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me. 45 And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me. 46 I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness. 47 And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. 48 He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day. 49 For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. 50 And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.

Matthew 20:28 Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.

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.

As God Jesus had the Power to Forgive Sin

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. 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 7:47 Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little. 48 And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven. 49 And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that forgiveth sins also? 50 And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.

People Go to Hell Because they Refuse to Believe on Jesus Only to Save them.

John 10:22 And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter. 23 And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon’s porch. 24 Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly. 25 Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father’s name, they bear witness of me. 26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you. 27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: 28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. 29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand. 30 I and my Father are one. 31 Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him. 32 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me? 33 The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God. 34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? 35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken; 36 Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God? 37 If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. 38 But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him. 39 Therefore they sought again to take him: but he escaped out of their hand, 40 And went away again beyond Jordan into the place where John at first baptized; and there he abode. 41 And many resorted unto him, and said, John did no miracle: but all things that John spake of this man were true. 42 And many believed on him there.

Is Halloween Just Harmless Fun?

The Pagan Origin of Halloween

The name “Halloween” comes from the Roman Catholic Church celebration of All Saints Day. A day set aside for the Remembrance of the Martyrs, Catholic Heroes.

All Hallows Eve, the evening before All Saints Day, begins this time of Remembrance. “All Hallows Eve” was eventually contracted to “Hallow-e’en,” which became “Halloween.”

All Saints Day is the Catholic Church Celebration of the Dead. Yes. The Catholic Church Prays to the Dead, Lights Candles to the Dead, in truth Worships Dead “Saints” daily. All Saints’ Day begins the observance of Allhallowtide, the time in the liturgical year dedicated to Remembering the Dead saints (hallows), martyrs, and all the faithful Departed. 

Evil Halloween
Evil Halloween

As Catholicism moved throughout Europe it melded with the local Pagan Cultures their Occult Satan Worship. Their Satanic Pagan Holidays and Festivals became part of the Catholic Church. This is how the Catholic Church grew so Fast. By including the long established Worship of Ancient Pagan God’s to Catholicism countless Millions were added to the Roman Catholic Church.

The Ancient Satanic Pagan Rituals became a mix of their Gods / Rituals combined with Catholic Symbolism and Worship practices. You can see All of the old Roman God’s in the Catholic Church today.

All Saints Eve — The Origin of Halloween.

The Celtic people of Europe and Britain were Pagan Druids their major celebrations were marked by the seasons. At the end of the year in northern Europe, they made preparations to ensure winter survival. They harvested the crops and slaughtered animals for food. Life slowed down as winter brought darkness (shortened days and longer nights), fallow ground, and death.

The Druids used the imagery of Death, symbolized by Skeletons, Skulls, and the color Black in their Worship. Catholic Priests and Nuns wear Black Robes, this is because of their Druid Roots.

Halloween is Not Christian
Halloween is Not Christian

Today’s Halloween celebration is much like the Druids celebration of the Dead.

The Pagan Samhain festival (pronounced “sow” “en”) celebrated the Final Harvest, Death, and the onset of winter, for three days—October 31 to November 2. The Celts believed the curtain dividing the Living and the Dead lifted during Samhain to allow the Spirits of the Dead to walk among the Living. Ghosts Haunting the earth.

They embraced the season of Haunting by engaging in Occult practices such as Divination the communication with the Dead. They sought “Divine” Spirits (Demons) and the Spirits of their ancestors regarding weather forecasts for the coming year, crop expectations, and even romantic prospects. Bobbing for apples was one practice the pagans used to divine the spiritual world’s “blessings” on a couple’s romance.

The focus on Death, Occultism, Divination, and the belief that Spirits returned from the Dead to Haunt the Living, fueled their Satanism. They believed Spirits were earthbound until they received a proper sendoff with treats: possessions, wealth, food, and drink. Spirits who were not suitably “Treated” would “Trick” those who had neglected them. The Fear of Haunting only multiplied if that Spirit had been offended during its natural lifetime.

Trick-bent Spirits were believed to assume grotesque appearances. Some traditions developed, which believed wearing a costume to look like a Spirit would fool the wandering Spirits. Others believed the Spirits could be warded off by carving a grotesque face into a gourd or root vegetable (the Scottish used turnips) and setting a candle inside it—the jack-o-lantern.

This Dark, Satanic, Superstitious, Pagan Worship and Rituals are very much Alive and Thriving Today. The Behavior, of people today is the exact same, even worse than the Pagans of the ancient times. Modern Worshippers in Catholic, Protestant, Baptist and other Churches Celebrate Halloween. Calling it a Harvest Festival changes Nothing.

Halloween is Clearly Pagan.

If you are a Christian and you call Halloween Christian (Yes countless “Christians” keep telling me the origin of Halloween is Christian. No the origin of Halloween is Pagan, Satanic.) if you say there is No Harm in it you need to read all the following Bible verses:

Isaiah 5:20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

2nd Corinthians 6:14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? 15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? 16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, 18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.

Ephesians 5:6 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. 7 Be not ye therefore partakers with them. 8 For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light: 9 (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;) 10 Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord. 11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. 12 For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret. 13 But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light. 14 Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light. 15 See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, 16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil. 17 Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is. 18 And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit; 19 Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; 20 Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;

Proverbs 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

When you teach your children that Halloween is Not Evil you are Lying to them. You are training them to Celebrate Satanism, to Worship Satan.

Deuteronomy 18:9 When thou art come into the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations. 10 There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch, 11 Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. 12 For all that do these things are an abomination unto the Lord: and because of these abominations the Lord thy God doth drive them out from before thee. 13 Thou shalt be perfect with the Lord thy God. 14 For these nations, which thou shalt possess, hearkened unto observers of times, and unto diviners: but as for thee, the Lord thy God hath not suffered thee so to do.

Halloween is Satanic
Halloween is Satanic

Over and Over Again God Tells us Not to Be Like the World. God Warns us Not to Worship Other Gods. He Warns us About Satan.

Ephesians 4:27 Neither give place to the devil.

1st Corinthians 10:21 Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord’s table, and of the table of devils.

1st Peter 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

Leviticus 19:31 Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by them: I am the LORD your God.

1st Chronicles 10:13 So Saul died for his transgression which he committed against the LORD, even against the word of the LORD, which he kept not, and also for asking counsel of one that had a familiar spirit, to enquire of it;

1st John 5:19 And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.

Leviticus 20:27 A man also or woman that hath a familiar spirit, or that is a wizard, shall surely be put to death: they shall stone them with stones: their blood shall be upon them.

Christians are Supposed to Glorify God in Everything they Do.

1st Corinthians 10:31 Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.

Does Halloween Glorify God? No it Glorifies Satan.

1st Corinthians 6:20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.

Colossians 3:23 And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;”

Why do “Christians” so strongly defend the Celebration of Halloween?

There are a lot of reasons. The reason is Money $$$. Yes Churches depend on Church members to give them money.

Churches are so commercial they compromise their Church to appeal to as many people as possible.

Halloween is and has been for decades the most celebrated Holiday on the Earth.

If you call yourself a Bible Believer than you should Do Nothing that does not Glorify God. You should Fight against Evil, Not give into Satan.

Colossians 3:17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.”

Ephesians 6:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: 18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; 19 And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel, 20 For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

Celebrating Halloween is not serving Jesus, it is serving Satan.

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.

Do not tell me you are a Christian, a Bible Believer if you are defending the Celebration of Halloween.

If your Church has a Harvest Festival, or any other celebration to give your kids a safe place to celebrate Halloween than you are Celebrating Halloween.

Changing the name of your Halloween celebration is not changing the fact that you are observing and celebrating Halloween.

The things “Christians” say to justify their celebration of Halloween shows they do not care what the Bible says:

There is nothing wrong with letting kids dress up and get candy in a safe environment at Church, or in a Church supported event.” “It is not right to deprive kids the opportunity to dress up and get candy…”

These so called Bible Believers ignore the Bible.

Christians are not suppose to love the things of this world. To be like the world.

Halloween is not Christian in any way. Halloween celebrates: the Dead, Ghosts, Witches and Witchcraft, Zombies, Evil Spirits…

John 15:19 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.

John 17:14 I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. 15 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. 16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

Jesus tells us not to be part of the World: “Keep them from the Evil.”

Keep them from the Evil.” The celebration of Halloween is Evil and Jesus wants to keep Christians from Evil.

Ephesians 2:1 And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;

2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:

3 Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.

4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,

5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)

Jesus Saved us out of the World. We are not to continue to live our lives like the world after we are Saved. We are suppose to love the things of God and not the things of this world.

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.

There is no defense for Celebrating Halloween, if you are actually a Christian.

The Bible 101. Is The Bible God’s Word? How To Read And Study The Bible.

Why I Believe The Bible is 100% God’s Word

John 17:17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.

John 8:31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; 32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

God’s Word is True. Prophecy Proves this. History Proves Bible Prophecy. 

When I read the Bible I feel the Holy Spirit of God in my mind talking to me. When I Study God’s Word The Holy Spirit Opens up the Truth of the Bible to Me.

When God Speaks to me he often puts a Scripture in my Mind. I go to that Scripture read it and more and more Scriptures are given to me to read as I read. The Holy Spirit of God explains the Scriptures to me.

John 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

John 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.

The Bible Obviously has One Author the Holy Spirit of God

The Bible has 66 Books. These books fit seamlessly together, referring to each other hundreds of times. In the New Testament Old Testament Prophecies are seen Fulfilled.

The Scriptures were written by 40+ men through the Holy Spirit of God.

God wrote the Bible.

If you read the Bible you will see: The Word of God, My Word(s), Thy Word (God’s Word.), etc…, repeated over and over and over again, in the Bible.

Matthew 24:35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

1st Peter 1:23 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.

Isaiah 40:8 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.

Isaiah 55:11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

Psalms 119:11 Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee. 12 Blessed art thou, O Lord: teach me thy statutes. 13 With my lips have I declared all the judgments of thy mouth. 14 I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies, as much as in all riches. 15 I will meditate in thy precepts, and have respect unto thy ways. 16 I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will not forget thy word. 17 Deal bountifully with thy servant, that I may live, and keep thy word. 18 Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law.

Psalms 119:105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. 106 I have sworn, and I will perform it, that I will keep thy righteous judgments. 107 I am afflicted very much: quicken me, O Lord, according unto thy word. 108 Accept, I beseech thee, the freewill offerings of my mouth, O Lord, and teach me thy judgments. 109 My soul is continually in my hand: yet do I not forget thy law. 110 The wicked have laid a snare for me: yet I erred not from thy precepts. 111 Thy testimonies have I taken as an heritage for ever: for they are the rejoicing of my heart. 112 I have inclined mine heart to perform thy statutes alway, even unto the end. 113 I hate vain thoughts: but thy law do I love. 114 Thou art my hiding place and my shield: I hope in thy word. 115 Depart from me, ye evildoers: for I will keep the commandments of my God. 116 Uphold me according unto thy word, that I may live: and let me not be ashamed of my hope. 117 Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe: and I will have respect unto thy statutes continually. 118 Thou hast trodden down all them that err from thy statutes: for their deceit is falsehood. 119 Thou puttest away all the wicked of the earth like dross: therefore I love thy testimonies. 120 My flesh trembleth for fear of thee; and I am afraid of thy judgments. 121 I have done judgment and justice: leave me not to mine oppressors. 122 Be surety for thy servant for good: let not the proud oppress me. 123 Mine eyes fail for thy salvation, and for the word of thy righteousness. 124 Deal with thy servant according unto thy mercy, and teach me thy statutes. 125 I am thy servant; give me understanding, that I may know thy testimonies. 126 It is time for thee, Lord, to work: for they have made void thy law. 127 Therefore I love thy commandments above gold; yea, above fine gold. 128 Therefore I esteem all thy precepts concerning all things to be right; and I hate every false way.

The Holy Spirit Wrote Through Common Men like Gad, Luke and Mark. Through Prophets, Kings, Apostles, etc…

Revelation 1:1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John: 2 Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw.

Revelation 1:1,2 Is a Perfect Example of how God Wrote the Bible. Here John is Given a Special Revelation by Jesus Christ. (Paul was also taught by Jesus Christ After his Resurrection. Paul was Given Special Revelations from Jesus.) Every Word John wrote in the Books of John and Revelation were Given to him by God to Write. This is how every Book of the Bible Was Written.

Revelation 3:1 And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write…, 7 And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write…, 14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write…,

2nd Timothy 3:15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

2nd Peter 1:21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.

2nd Peter 1:21 the entire passage

2nd Peter 1:12 Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and be established in the present truth. 13 Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in remembrance; 14 Knowing that shortly I must put off this my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shewed me. 15 Moreover I will endeavour that ye may be able after my decease to have these things always in remembrance. 16 For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty. 17 For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. 18 And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount. 19 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: 20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. 21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.

God Wrote every Word of the Bible. The Bible is Infallible. It is the Perfect, Inerrant Word of God.

Proverbs 30:5 Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. 6 Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.

Psalms 12:6 The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. 7 Thou shalt keep them, O Lord, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.

Psalms 19:7 The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple. 8 The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes. 9 The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether. 10 More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. 11 Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.

James 3:17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.

2nd Samuel 22:31 As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the Lord is tried: he is a buckler to all them that trust in him.

Fulfilled Prophecies

Before 500 BC, the Prophet Daniel Prophesied that Israel’s long-awaited King, The Messiah would begin his public ministry 483 years after a Decree to Restore and Rebuild Jerusalem is made.

Daniel 9:25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times. 26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.

Daniel Prophesied that the Messiah would be “cut off,” Killed. This event would happen before Jerusalem and the Temple would be Destroyed for a 2nd time. Written History and Archaeology Prove that these Prophecies were Exactly Fulfilled.

The Life, Death by Crucifixion, Burial, and Resurrection of Jesus Christ were well written about Historically, not just written about in the Bible. This is further Proof of the Bible Prophecies. The decree regarding the restoration of Jerusalem was issued by Persia’s King Artaxerxes to the Hebrew priest Ezra in 458 BC, 483.

Over 500 Years later the ministry of Jesus Christ began in Galilee. The Start of Jesus’ Public Ministry was in 26 AD. Jesus’ crucifixion happened in 30 AD. Forty years later, in 70 AD Titus Destroyed Jerusalem and the 2nd Temple.

How to Study the Bible

To Study the Bible First read it a few times 3 or more times. From the Beginning to the End. Always Pray before you read the Bible and Ask the Holy Spirit to Open your Eyes, your Mind to the Truth of God’s Word. Ask the Holy Spirit to Teach you God’s Word.

After you have read the Bible over a few times. Than you can Study the Bible. When I was only 8 years Old I read the Bible end to end 4 or more times in a year. The Bible is Only 1,200 pages depending on what your text size is. People will read a 1,200 page Novel in just 1 week. I know I have many different times, so it doesn’t take forever to read the entire Bible.

How many times you are able to read the entire Bible in a year is up to you. It is possible to read the Bible end to end 52 or more times in one year.

The reason you need to read the Bible end to end Several times before you Study it is because you have to have a Good, Basic understanding of the whole Bible before you Study it.

Do Not be overwhelmed. At first just read the Bible just like you would any Novel. Do Not worry if you think you do Not understand a lot of it. The Bible in Truth is a History Book. The basic Truths of the Bible are written very plainly and are Not hard to understand. Maybe 10% or more of the Bible is difficult to understand without Studying it. But at the first step you will just be reading the Bible.

When you Read the Bible it is Good to make your own Highlights. The more you read the Bible the more you will understand it.

OK How to Study the Bible

Pick a Subject, let’s Say Salvation. Look what the Bible says about Salvation. Since you have already read the Bible Several times you should immediately know how the Ethiopian Eunuch was Saved.

Acts 8:26 And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is desert. 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.

This passage about the Ethiopian Eunuch referred to Isaiah Chapter 53 so you read that entire Chapter. It is about Salvation.

You should know:

Acts 16:27 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.

Above are just a few examples of Salvation Bible Scriptures, what a proper Bible Study on Salvation will entail.

Here is a finished example on a Salvation Bible Study. Study it. You will see how I did my Bible Study. Then you will understand the basics of Bible Study:

https://plain-talk-christian-ministries.com/2022/12/14/salvation-how-to-be-saved/

When you want to Study the Bible for yourself use the Bible.

The Bible explains itself.

If you want to understand what a Word used in the Bible means, do Not use a Dictionary, even a Bible Dictionary is often Not Good to use.

Get a Bible Concordance. Look up the Word in a Bible Concordance and see how it is used over and over again in the Bible. Soon the meaning will become clear. This type of learning I was taught in Elementary School.

Always use the Bible to define Words, to Explain itself.

Isaiah 28:10 For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:

A Precept can be a Word. It can be a term like Covenant. So to learn the meaning if you don’t immediately understand the meaning you find this Precept (Word, Term, etc…) throughout the Bible and learn its meaning by seeing what the Bible says about it.

Line upon line means When you want to Understand a Bible Verse you Need to read the Whole Chapter to understand the Context. “Line upon line, line upon line..” This is what it means. Read more than just single verses.

You cannot take one single verse and Teach a Bible Truth with it by itself. That is what False Teachers, Cults do.

The context of Isaiah 28:10

Isaiah 28:9 Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts. 10 For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little: 11 For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people. 12 To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear. 13 But the word of the Lord was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.

The Gospel = Love. Preach, Teach, The Love Of The Lord Jesus Christ.

The Love of Jesus

John 15:13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

This is Love. Jesus’ Love. There is No Greater Love than this.

The Gospel is the Love of Jesus 

The Gospel: Jesus Died was Buried, he Rose from the Dead on the 3rd Day to pay the Penalty for ALL the Sins of the World.

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.

Jesus Did Not Just Die for our Sins. He Bore our Sins in his own Body. He bore the Weight of All of our Sins. Rape, Murder, Lying, Stealing, etc…

Think about it. Billions of People All their Sins. Jesus Bore All their Sins in his own Body. This is Mind Boggling.

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.

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 Timothy 2:3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; 4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; 6 Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.

Jesus Became Sin For Us

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.

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:

Jesus Suffered for our Sins

Jesus Sufferings were Not Only The Physical Punishment he Endured. He Bore Our Sins in HIS BODY. He Bore Our Griefs, Our Sorrows. The Weight of All of this, the Pain it Caused is Beyond Measure.

Jesus Physically Suffered more than anyone in history. Beatings, The Crown of Thorns placed on his head, Carrying his Cross, His Crucifixion being Nailed to the Cross, etc…

If you have a Conscience you will Feel the Weight of All of your Sins.

Starting from when I was a little kid, I felt Guilty, Depressed because of the things I did Wrong, because of my Sins.

If you can walk around and claim: “Oh I have Not Done Anything I feel Guilty About. I would Not Change a thing if I could.” You are the Worst type of person, Full of Pride, a Liar.

Jesus Sacrifice, His Suffering For Our Sins

1st Peter 2:21 For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps: 22 Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: 23 Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously: 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. 25 For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.

Isaiah 53:4 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.

Isaiah Chapter 53 is the most Powerful Chapter in the Entire Bible.

Isaiah 53 describes Jesus, his Sufferings, his Crucifixion.

A note * Leave any Church that teaches that people in the Old Testament did not know about Jesus Christ. That they were Saved by Works. No one was Saved by Works.

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

Jesus Christ is in the Entire Bible from Genesis to Revelation. The Most Powerful Chapter in the Bible about Jesus is in the Old Testament that should tell you Something.

Isaiah 53:4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.

Jesus Suffered Deeply by taking All of our Griefs, and our Sorrows. Our human minds cannot comprehend the Pain and Suffering Jesus Bore for us…

Beware of False Churches

I am Sick of hearing False Pastors, Preachers Say Things like: “Love, Love, Love, Puke. If you want to hear Love, Love, Love go to another Church. This Church is a Hell Fire and Damnation Preaching Church. We Don’t Sugar Coat the Bible. We Preach Hard Against Sin. We Don’t Believe in the Gospel of Love…”

For 10 years I was in Churches that said this nearly every time I went to them. These Churches, Any Church that says things like this is a False Religion that does Not Understand the Bible, Salvation.

They Openly Mock Jesus and Refuse to Preach the One True Gospel. The Gospel Only for Salvation found in 1st Corinthians 15:1-4 and in many other Verses. The Gospel is Love.

The Gospel is Love

John 3:16 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.

Salvation, the Gospel Begins and Ends with God’s Love

1st John 3:16 Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

Romans 5:5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. 6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. 10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. 11 And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.

Ephesians 5:1 Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children; 2 And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.

Ephesians 3:17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; 19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.

1st John 4:7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. 8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. 9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. 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. 11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. 12 No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us. 13 Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit. 14 And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world. 15 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God. 16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. 17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. 18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. 19 We love him, because he first loved us. 20 If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? 21 And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.

Believe the Gospel Only to be Saved. Please Ask Jesus to Save you.

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:

Are You Suicidal?

Immediate Help: In July 2022, the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline changed its name to 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline and introduced a 3-digit number designed to be as easy to remember as 911. Instead of dialing the old 10-digit number, callers who are suicidal or experiencing other mental health crises can now dial 988 to connect with trained counselors at crisis centers nationwide. In the first week after the new number’s launch in July, the lifeline saw a 66% increase in volume compared to calls to the old number in the same week in 2021, according to the lifeline’s administrators.

Suicide Is Not The Solution. Please Seek Help If You are Suicidal.

Myths About Suicides:

Holiday’s cause Suicides:

This is something always talked about around the Major Holidays, Christmas, Easter, New Year’s Eve. But statistics do not show that this is True. On a Normal (Non 1929 type of year.) yearly calendar suicide rates are rather steady Month to Month.

Myth That Suicides Peak During the Holidays Could Cause Harm (usnews.com)

Suicide Awareness needs to be a 24/7 365 days a year Awareness.

Suicide Notes are always written:

This is a Myth which is very popular on TV and in Movies. Most Suicides in Fact don’t have a Suicide Note. So, No Suicide Note doesn’t mean the death was Not a Suicide. Yes, TV and Movies Love to say No Suicide Note means it was possibly a Murder. Sometimes a Murderer forces a person to Write a Suicide Note before they are Murdered. Or they will type a Suicide Note. So a Suicide Note doesn’t prove or disprove Suicide. Neither does No Suicide Note.

Think about it, a Person who Commits Suicide is Not Mentally All there. They have Nothing Left to Say, in Most Cases. The Suicide itself is a Message to many people. No Other Words were Needed.

A Person Talking about Committing Suicide is Not Seriously Thinking about Committing Suicide:

This talk of a False Cry for Help: Suicidal talk is just a person seeking attention is Wrong. Most, not All Suicidal people seek help before they Kill themselves. Nobody really wants to Commit Suicide. Suicide is the Last Solution for them.

Always Take A Person Talking About Suicide Seriously.

Talk to them, try to find out why they are Suicidal. Often this can Help them and Stop them from Committing Suicide.

People who Commit Suicide are All Cowards:

Suicide Is The Coward’s Way Out.”

This Lie about Suicide makes me Very Angry. During my 20+ year Military Career I have heard this Repeatedly. Saying this pushes Suicidal people over the edge. After a Mandatory Suicide Prevention Lecture (The Command Master Chief said: “Murder Yourselves. Good Riddance to You. I don’t Want Coward’s Working for me!!!) within hours we had a Suicide.

Suicide is the Coward’s Way Out is a Slogan. It is a Lie. It is Said By Hateful Ignorant People. To load a Gun and pull the Trigger with it pointed at You is Not Being a Coward. Taking a razor blade and slitting your Wrists is Not Being a Coward. Neither is hanging yourself, drowning, jumping off a building.

It takes a Lot to successfully Murder Yourself. A Coward wouldn’t have the Stones, the Stomach to do it normally. Do you think it is EASY to pull the Trigger?

MURDER SUICIDE IS THE COWARDS WAY OUT.

To do the Crime but Refuse to Face the Fallout. Being Caught For Heinous Crimes, like Pedophilia, Yes that is a Coward.

Typical Suicides are Not Criminals Seeking a Way Out.

People who Commit Suicide are in Unbearable Pain.

The Top reasons for Suicide other than being a Criminal are:

A Dear John Letter:

Is Possibly the reason for Active Duty Military Suicides. Men and Some Women feel that they cannot Live without “The Love of their Life.” For one of the Best illustrations of this Watch the Richard Gere, Debra Winger Movie, An Officer and a Gentlemen. This is True to Life. An Extremely Realistic portrayal. The movie shows a very Typical cause for Military Suicides. This reason for Suicide, Losing the Love of your Life, is Not Only a Military reason for Suicide.

Body Dysphoria and Homosexuality are the cause of countless Suicides:

There is a reason Both Conditions recently used to be Treated by Mental Health Care Professionals. Everyone has their own position on Homosexuality. Getting beyond that. I think the huge number of Homosexuals committing Suicide is proof it is a Mental Health issue.

PTSD Non Military causes and Military causes:

People get PTSD from Traumatic Events in their Life. Like: A Car accident. Physical, Mental, Sexual Abuse. Being in War. Things that have happened to them or something they have Witnessed cause PTSD.

Depression:

Depression is a real Medical issue. I get Sick of hearing people, Christians in Particular, say that Depression is Not a Medical issue. Many Christians will say that the Only reason for Depression is a Lack of Faith in God. That is One Cause, but it is far from the Only cause. Their are numerous Medical Causes for Depression. Diet can cause Depression. A physical condition can cause Depression. Lack of Sleep can cause Depression.

Mental Health issues:

Replacement Theology, Spiritual Jews, New Covenant Theology = Antisemitism

God Has Not Replaced The Nation Of Israel, The Jewish People.

Beware of New Covenant Theology it = Replacement Theology a False Doctrine, a False Gospel.

Satanic Replacement Theology

This False Teaching claims God is done with the Jews the Nation of Israel and the Christian Church has Replaced them. The Church now gets all the Covenants God made with Israel. The Antisemitism is clear, easily seen by the teaching Israel is Now Cursed by God. Israel looses All the Blessings and Covenants God made with them but Keeps the Curse of the Law. Which is Not Transferred to the Christian Church.

Explaining Replacement Theology
Explaining Replacement Theology

Please understand this teaching is Not Biblical.

These are the Same Ignorant people that deny Eternal Security. They freely change the meaning of Words.

God made Eternal Covenants with Abraham, with his Descendants, the Jewish people the Nation of Israel. A Covenant cannot be Transferred. For example if I Promised to my Wife that I would always be Faithful to her then I break that Promise with an Affair I Lied.

Giving a Covenant is a Promise a Vow which is Broken as soon as you Break the Promise. You cannot Promise to be Faithful then transfer that promise. As soon as you become Unfaithful the Promise was Broken. A Covenant is Between A and B. You cannot give a Promise you made with B to C and still claim that you are Not a Liar, a Covenant Breaker.

False Churches, False Teachers Do NOT care about the Truth, the correct definition of Words. They Lie, They Invent Theology out of Thin Air.

Anyone with a Grain of Intelligence, a Literate person can Quickly see A Covenant CAN NEVER Be TRANSFERRED. A Covenant made to Israel is to Israel Not to Anyone Else.

An example: You give your son a Birthday present, than a year later you take it away and give it to someone else. Once you give a Gift (A Promise, A Vow, A Covenant) to someone it is their’s. If you take it back you Stole it. The US Government Giving to the Native Americans, Land, Agreements then Taking it All Back is another example. This is where the phrase Indian Giver comes from.

The Bible is Clear that a Covenant is Everlasting:

Genesis 9:12 And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:

Genesis 9:16 And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth. 17 And God said unto Noah, This is the token of the covenant, which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth.

2nd Samuel 23:5 Although my house be not so with God; yet he hath made with me an everlasting covenant, ordered in all things, and sure: for this is all my salvation, and all my desire, although he make it not to grow.

Everlasting Covenants God has Made with Israel:

Genesis 17:7 And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee.

This is Plain And Clear. “AN EVERLASTING COVENANTEverlasting Never Ends!!!

Genesis 17:1 And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the Lord appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect. 2 And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly. 3 And Abram fell on his face: and God talked with him, saying, 4 As for me, behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations. 5 Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee. 6 And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee. 7 And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee. 8 And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.

Genesis 17:15 And God said unto Abraham, As for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall her name be. 16 And I will bless her, and give thee a son also of her: yea, I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of people shall be of her. 17 Then Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed, and said in his heart, Shall a child be born unto him that is an hundred years old? and shall Sarah, that is ninety years old, bear? 18 And Abraham said unto God, O that Ishmael might live before thee! 19 And God said, Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed; and thou shalt call his name Isaac: and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him. 20 And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee: Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation. 21 But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, which Sarah shall bear unto thee at this set time in the next year. 22 And he left off talking with him, and God went up from Abraham.

1st Chronicles 16:13 O ye seed of Israel his servant, ye children of Jacob, his chosen ones. 14 He is the Lord our God; his judgments are in all the earth. 15 Be ye mindful always of his covenant; the word which he commanded to a thousand generations; 16 Even of the covenant which he made with Abraham, and of his oath unto Isaac; 17 And hath confirmed the same to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant,

Psalms 105:6 O ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye children of Jacob his chosen. 7 He is the Lord our God: his judgments are in all the earth. 8 He hath remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations. 9 Which covenant he made with Abraham, and his oath unto Isaac; 10 And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant:

New Covenant Theology Is An Unbiblical Lie:

The New Covenant was Not Made with the Christian Church. It was made with Israel.

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

Notice the details of the New Covenant promise:

It is made with the house of Israel and Judah. Jesus inaugurated it in the upper room:

Matthew 26:26 And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body. 27 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; 28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. 29 But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom.

Luke 22:19 And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me. 20 Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.

Jesus is the Mediator of the New Covenant, the New Testament:

New Covenant

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

Hebrews 9:11 But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building; 12 Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. 13 For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: 14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? 15 And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance. 16 For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. 17 For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth. 18 Whereupon neither the first testament was dedicated without blood.

Salvation in the Old and in the New Testament was Only through Jesus:

No One was Ever Saved by Keeping the Law.

Hebrews 10:1 For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect. 2 For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins. 3 But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year. 4 For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins. 5 Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me: 6 In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure. 7 Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God. 8 Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law; 9 Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second. 10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. 11 And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: 12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; 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.

The New Covenant is for the Nation of Israel:

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

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

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

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

In the New Testament Covenant is used 18 times.

Every time the Covenant was made with Israel.

In Romans 11: God is telling us that he is not done with Israel and that all his Covenants with Israel are still in effect.

The Covenant and the Promise of Jesus the Messiah for Israel is that Jesus would take away all of their Sins (The Nation of Israel). This is not a Covenant with the Christian Church.

Romans 11:25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.

26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:

27 For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.

28 As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers’ sakes.

29 For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.

30 For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief:

31 Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy.

32 For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.

Salvation came to everyone through Abraham.

Galatians 3 makes it clear that Abraham’s children the Jews are not replaced by the Church. It says the Church is blessed because of Abraham, Israel, God’s Covenant, his promise of Jesus to Abraham and to the Jews.

Galatians 3:11 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.

Galatians 3 summarized: God promised Abraham Salvation through Faith in Jesus alone. The Law was given to show man their Sin and the need for a Savior. No one can be Saved by the Law now or in the past. Eternal Life is given to all that Believe on Jesus.

Jesus is the Everlasting Covenant that was promised to Abraham.

Jesus sacrificed himself to give everyone who believes on him Eternal Life.

Hebrews 10:25 “Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant,”

We are Saved by Believing the Gospel Only:

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:

Does Christianity Teach You Can Lose Your Salvation?

Does Your Church Teach You Can Lose Your Salvation?

Do you know if your Church teaches you can Lose your Salvation? The typical Church has a Head Pastor. A Worship / Music Ministry Pastor, A Youth Pastor, various other Pastor’s. Then they have Deacons, Sunday School Teachers and leaders of other Ministries. So these people make up in some Churches up to 10% of the Church. There maybe another 10% very Strong Devout Christians. The other 80% or so are mostly very Ignorant of the Bible, even about their Church.

You may Not think this is True of your Church… The above Numbers are very accurate. I have been in the Christian Ministry for 40 years and No matter what Church I have been at those Numbers remain the same.

I am saying this because I want you to Look into what your Church Believes. It is at least a 90% certainty that your Church teaches you can Lose your Salvation.

LYING To Christians Telling Them They Can Lose Their Salvation Causes Constant FEAR.

Fear

Church Denominations and Eternal Security, Eternal Life:

The Catholic Church:

First off the Catholic Church Does Not Teach Eternal Life. They Teach No One can Know that they are Saved. The best you can hope for is to go to Purgatory. From Purgatory you will eventually Go to Hell, nearly everyone, will go to Hell. The rest will go to Heaven after possibly spending thousands of Years in Purgatory. Purgatory is a place that is like Hell. It is full of constant punishment, Penance.

Purgatory is Not Biblical. Neither is The Catholic Church’s teaching on Salvation.

Nearly 100% of “Christians” think that the Catholic Church is Christian. The Catholic Church is Not Christian. The Catholic Church has fought many wars against Christianity. They have slaughtered countless Christians. The Catholic Church Burnt many thousands of Christians to Death.

To Call the Catholic Church Christian is the Most Bizarre, Ignorant thing a person could say.

Calvinist Churches Teach:

You Do NOT have FREEWILL. What Does this mean? It means God chooses who will go to Heaven and who will Go to Hell. Nothing you do matters. Yes, Calvinism teaches before the foundation of the World God decided who would Go to Heaven and who will Go to Hell.

There are 5 points of Calvinism. All 5 Points will send you to Hell.

Christianity 101: Freewill is Essential to Salvation. Why? Because Salvation is a Choice. To Be Saved you have to make a Decision to either Believe on Jesus and Ask Jesus to Save you, or you Reject Jesus.

Which Churches are Calvinist Churches?

Every Reformed Church is Calvinist. There are Reformed Baptist Churches, Reformed Presbyterian Churches, Reformed Methodist Churches, etc… If Reformed is in the Title it is a Calvinist Church.

Also The Southern Baptist are Calvinist as are most Baptist Churches in General. A Calvinist Church will not always have Reformed in the title of the Church.

Freewill Churches:

All Churches that have Freewill in their Title, Freewill Baptist Church for example, teach you can Lose your Salvation.

All Churches that teach you can Lose your Salvation do Not have Freewill in their Title. But many will have Freewill, in the section on what we Believe, on their website.

Freewill Churches have corrupted the Bible definition of Freewill. They say Freewill means you can be Saved than Lose your Salvation because of your Sinful behavior. After All having Freewill means you can live like the Devil. They also Say Freewill means you can Reject Salvation after you have Been Saved. Their teaching on Freewill is Not True, it is Not Biblical.

You can Not Assume that your Church teaches Eternal Security.

What Does Christianity Teach?

Jesus Taught Eternal Life, Eternal Security:

John 3:14 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.

John 17:1 These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee: 2 As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. 3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.

John 4:13 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.

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 6:47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life. 48 I am that bread of life. 49 Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead. 50 This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die. 51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.

John 10:14 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. 15 As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep. 16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd. 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.

John 10:25 Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father’s name, they bear witness of me. 26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you. 27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: 28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. 29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand. 30 I and my Father are one.

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?

Salvation = Eternal Life in Heaven with Jesus.

John 5:24 and John 6:47 both say: “Hath Everlasting Life.” Do you understand what this means? It means Salvation is Not a Process. Once you have Believed on the Lord Jesus Christ you are Immediately Saved. You Immediately have Eternal Life.

John 11:23-26 Teaches that everyone who has Believed in Jesus shall be Resurrected to Eternal Life with Jesus.

Jesus said Eternal Life = Shall Never Die! Shall Live For Ever!

John 6:50 This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die. 51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever:

26 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?

“Shall Never Die!!!” Shall Never Die, Shall Live For Ever = Eternal Life. Jesus over and over again teaches Eternal Life.

John 10:28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

Shall NEVER PERISH!!! = Eternal Life!!! “Neither Shall any man Pluck them out of my hand!!! This means that NO ONE can Steal Your Salvation. No One can Take Away Your Salvation.

The Definition of Eternal = Forever, Never Ending.

It is Absolutely Insane, Unbelievable that a person can see that the Bible says numerous times Believe on Jesus and have Eternal Life. Than say you can Lose your Salvation. If you have Eternal Life when you are Saved like the Bible Teaches than you can Not Lose your Salvation.

What Happens Immediately When A Person Is Saved:

A Christian is Born Again. Physical Birth happens at a definite time. As does spiritual Birth. So this is Proof Salvation is Not a Process that takes place over time. A physical birth can Not be undone. You are either born or you are Not. Being Born Again, a spiritual birth can Not be undone either. Being Born is a Fact. Being Born Again is a Fact.

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.

In the above passage Jesus is saying that only Human Beings can be Saved. Meaning that Heavenly Spiritual Beings can Not be Saved. Jesus Died to save Mankind. He did Not Die for Angels or any other Spiritual Being.

Jesus said this when he said: “Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.” Angels all Spiritual Beings were a Special Creation. They did Not have parents. They were individually made as Adults. Verse 5 is describing both a Physical and a Spiritual Birth. A human baby being born is a Water Birth.

When you are Saved you become New, a New Creature:

2nd Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

This is the New Birth, being Born Again. You can Not Lose your Salvation because once you are Saved you are Not the Old person you once were. You are a New Person in Christ Jesus, an Eternal Person.

Ephesians 2:11 Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands; 12 That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: 13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ. 14 For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us; 15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace; 16 And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby: 17 And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh. 18 For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father. 19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;

Salvation, the New Birth, Being Born Again is a spiritual Transformation. When a Person is Born Again they become New: Verse 15 “… for to make in himself of twain one new man,”

When you are Saved you become, “One New Man.” Salvation makes you an Eternal man.

1st Corinthians 15:51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. 54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. 55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? 56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. 57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

“… but we shall all be changed…” Shall be changed!!! This Will happen!!!

When a Person is Saved they have a Certainty / a Guarantee of being resurrected unto Eternal Life with their New Glorified Heavenly Immortal Body. But We Shall All Be Changed!!!

Sealed by the Holy Spirit of God = Eternal Life

Ephesians 1:13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, 14 Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.

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

Warning If You Deny Eternal Salvation Than You Will Go To Hell:

To Be Saved you Have to 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:

11 Therefore whether it were I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed. 12 Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead? 13 But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen: 14 And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain. 15 Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not. 16 For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised: 17 And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins. 18 Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished. 19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. 20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept. 21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.

Jesus Resurrection from the Dead is the 1st Fruits of the Resurrection. We will also be Fruits of the Resurrection. We will be Raised into Eternal Life.

The Gospel Teaches we will be Resurrected like Jesus was. If you don’t Believe in Eternal Life you do Not Believe the Gospel.

You have to Believe the Gospel Only to Save you, or you will Go to Hell.

 

Is The Romans Road Biblical Salvation?

The Romans Chapter 10 Controversy Explained

The Controversy in a Nut Shell: False Teachers claim because Romans 10 is written to Israel, to the Jewish people, that means you can not use it to Teach Bible Salvation for the Christian Church.

This would be true, Except for the Fact Salvation is Not different for the Jews.

Galatians 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.

Jews are not Saved differently than Gentiles or anyone else.

So the point being made that this passage applies to Jews only is Biblically Ignorant.

Romans 10:12 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.

The Romans Road:

Romans Road

There is Only One Plan of Salvation in the Bible, the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

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.

The Bible is 100% clear that there is Only one plan of Salvation from Genesis to Revelation.

Let any one who Teaches, Preaches Another Gospel (Plan of Salvation) be Accursed. This is what the Bible Teaches.

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

There is Only 1 Gospel: The Gospel of Jesus Christ.

False Teachers Particularly the IFB Baptist Dispensationalist teach up to 12 different Gospels that will Save people.

They are Blasphemers. They claim Jesus did Not Teach the Gospel for the Church. “Jesus Gospel according to them was for the Jews Only.” They say the Gospel for the Church was Not even Known until the Apostle Paul thought it up.

Yes they Falsely say that the True Gospel is Paul’s Gospel, created by him.

We know from the 4 Gospel’s that Jesus Preached the Gospel.

Paul did Not think up the Gospel. Jesus taught Paul the Gospel:

Galatians 1:11 But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man. 12 For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.

The Gospel:

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.

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:

The Gospel Of Jesus Christ is the Only True Plan of Salvation in the Bible:

The Bible’s One plan of Salvation is clearly explained in Romans 10:9-13

Romans 10:9 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.

Romans 10:9,10 is Not Works. Like some Cult Churches Falsely claim. They Falsely say that the Confession in verse 9 is to man. They say people do NOT get Saved by an alter Call.

They also say that Romans 10:9-13 is Not talking about Eternal Salvation. They say it is talking about being Saved from Physical Death.

That is completely untrue Romans Chapter 10 is saying that Israel the Jews were trying to be Saved, spiritual Salvation, by Works, by Keeping the Law. It teaches that Salvation is only through the Lord Jesus Christ. It is talking about how a person can be Saved spiritually.

A person is Saved as soon as they Ask Jesus to Save them, when they have Believed the Gospel Only to Save them. That can happen anywhere including during an alter call.

Some Cults, False Teachers / Churches teach it you do not Confess Jesus to the Church as a part of Salvation than you are not Saved. The Bible does Not teach this.

Romans 10:8-13 is clearly a Salvation passage. The entire context is Salvation from Hell. It is belief in the Gospel.

It does Not say a person needs to Confess with their mouth to a person, to other people, in front of a congregation to Be Saved. The Confession is to Jesus not to man.

Calling this works Salvation is saying the Thief on the cross was Saved by Works when he asked Jesus to Save him.

Also it does Not say: You Have To Confess With Your Mouth to be Saved. It just says if you do you will be Saved.

Romans 10:11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

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

The Bible is clear, this entire passage is clear that a person is Saved as soon as they Believe the Gospel Only to be Saved.

Romans 10:12 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.

Romans 10:13 is a Prayer to Jesus. When you Call On The Lord Jesus you are praying to him, having a conversation.

The Sinners Prayer:

“Lord Jesus I know that I am a Sinner. I deserve to go to Hell for my Sins. I am asking you right now Jesus to Save me from Hell. I Believe the Gospel Only to Save me. I am Not Trusting in myself, any Good Works to Save me. I Believe that you Died were Buried, and you Rose on the third day from the dead to pay the Penalty for all of my Sins. Jesus I am trusting in You Alone to Save me. Please Save me Lord Jesus.”

Saying a Salvation Prayer is not Works it is exactly what the Thief on the cross did.

Romans 10:13 “For whoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be Saved.”

The only way today to call upon the name of the Lord is through prayer.

Again the passage is not saying to Confess to anyone but Jesus.

Faith and Works is Not Found in the Bible as a Method of Salvation.

All the examples of Salvation in the Bible show a verbal Confession of Faith in Jesus to Jesus. An Admission of being a Sinner and that Jesus is the Sinless Savior.

Look at the Thief on the cross he verbally confessed with his mouth to Jesus that he was a sinner and that Jesus was just being without sin. And he Asked Jesus to Save him:

Luke 23:39 And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us. 40 But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation? 41 And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss. 42 And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. 43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.

Salvation happens Immediately, It is Not a Process.  Salvation = Eternal Life.

Ephesians 1:12 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ. 13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, 14 Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory

Requiring a Verbal Confession, to be Saved, to Man is Not Biblical. These Bible Twisters. Say Peter Lost his Salvation when he Denied Jesus 3 times.

This is Ridiculous. Salvation is Eternal Life. Peter did Not Deny the Gospel. What Peter did is deny knowing Jesus. Beware of inventing things that are Not in the Scriptures.

Peter Denied Jesus Christ out of Fear. He did Not Make a public Confession of Jesus Christ because he Feared the People, the Romans.

John 12:42 Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue: 43 For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.

John 12:42 clearly proves that you Do Not have to Confess your Faith in Jesus before men, people to be Saved.

To be Eternally Saved: Ask Jesus to Save you, Believe the Gospel Only to Save you.

Faith Without Works Is Dead = Salvation By Works?

Salvation Is By Grace Through Faith In Jesus Christ Only.

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. 

We are Saved by the Grace of God Alone through Faith in Jesus Christ Alone.

Salvation Is NOT by WORKS. The Bible is Very, Very, Very Clear about this. Ephesians 2:9 Could Not be More Clear:

9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.

Do you see this??? NOT of Works. No One will be in Heaven Boasting about All of their Good Works.

Also read Romans Chapter 4 and you will clearly see that Salvation is Not by Works.

The Bible Clearly Shows Us Every Person Is Very Sinful.

Isaiah 64:6 But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.

Romans 7:18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. 19 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. 20 Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. 21 I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. 22 For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: 23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. 24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? 25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.

Beware of False Religions, Works Based Salvation.

If you are familiar with what Baptist Works Based Churches teach (Others Denominations too. I have to call out Baptist Churches because people have the Wrong Impression on the Baptist Church. People think the Baptist Church is the Back Bone of Bible Believing, Soul Winning, Christianity. The Southern Baptist Church is praised for making up the Bible Belt in the USA. The Truth is it is hard to Find a Baptist Church that doesn’t Teach Works Salvation. They will Lie and Say, Repent of Sin is Not Works. Repent of Sin is Works. It Also is Not Found in the Bible.) you should know, if you think about it. That they constantly contradict themselves.

Be careful. Baptist Churches, other Denominations, will Lie: “This Church Believes in Salvation, by Grace through Faith in Jesus Christ Alone. Jesus is the Only Way to Heaven.”

Then in the next sentence they say: “If you have Not Truly Repented of All of your Sins then you will GO TO HELL.” “You have to have a Life Worthy of going to Heaven, Worthy of Jesus.” “If you haven’t completely Surrendered your Life to Jesus than you are Not Saved.” “Have you Given your life to Jesus? If you are Still Living your Old Life of Sin, then you haven’t Given your life to Jesus. You are Lost.”

There are dozens more catch phrases they endlessly repeat that are Unbiblical, Works Based Salvation, talking points.

They are Fruit Inspectors.

They will examine you, put you under a microscope. “What did you do for Jesus today?” “Did you tell anyone about Jesus?” “I don’t see any tracts in your pocket. Did you run out? Or don’t you pass out tracts?”

In IFB Baptist Churches especially there are many Church members who think they are the Holy Spirit of God. They ask Questions they have no right to ask. Like the Pharisees they are nothing but Hypocrites.

They are Fruit Inspectors because they teach a Works based Salvation. I don’t care how many correct Bible verses they quote. Because when it comes down to Salvation. They will tell you that you have to Repent of Sin to be Saved.

They might say, Turn From Sin, Forsake Sin, be willing to Turn from Sin… They have many False Works based Salvation things they will tell people when they are telling a person how to be Saved.

If the Bible Doesn’t Say it Don’t Believe it.

“OF SIN” they always Add to Repent. There is No place in the Bible that says to Repent of Sin. Repent of Sin is Not in the Bible.

Every verse in the Bible that says to Repent these Works based Churches will add “OF SIN” to them. I immediately say: “You added, OF SIN, to that verse.”

They will say many different things to defend themselves. “OK I get it. You just don’t understand that the definition of Repent is to Repent of Sin.” What a completely Ridiculous thing to say. The word you are defining is NEVER in the definition of that word.

When a Person, a Church, uses Scriptures to defend Repent of Sin, or any other Works based Salvation, they always Twist the Scriptures. They take verses out of context and say this is proof.

The Bible Does Not Teach We are Saved by Works.

2nd Peter 3:16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.

Jeremiah 23:36 And the burden of the Lord shall ye mention no more: for every man’s word shall be his burden; for ye have perverted the words of the living God, of the Lord of hosts our God.

If your Faith rests on anything other than the Word of God your Faith is False.

Your Faith is No Better than any other Religion Not based on the Bible.

Yes it is a Big Deal to Add, to Subtract Words from the Bible. People / Churches that do this are Not Christian. They are Cults pushing their own man made Doctrines.

The Bible Warns Us Not To Add Words To The Bible Or To Subtract Words From The Bible.

Deuteronomy 4:2 Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you.

Proverbs 30:5 Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. 6 Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.

These False Churches and False Teachers, whoever they are a Liars. That is what the Bible says.

I call them Liars. They get immediately angry. They will say I am not acting like a Christian.

There Go To Reply: “Christians, Don’t call each other Liars. How can you call yourself a Christian?”

They are always on the Attack. So when you use strong Bible Replies to them, they say you are Not a Christian. You are the False Teacher… They will always get away from the conversation at hand because they cannot defend their False Doctrines. They will always shift the Conversation to You.

They try to get you to Call them a Christian. “Christians can have different opinions. Let’s Not Argue about Doctrine.” “Christians are Not supposed to Argue with each other.”

My Reply: “You are Not a Christian. You are Liar. You are a False Teacher.”

Many Works Based Salvation False Teachers run to James Chapter 2. They Love to Quote:

James 2:26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

James 2:26 is NOT a Salvation verse.

The Book of James Does Not Teach Salvation.

When anyone is using single verses to try to prove what they are teaching that is always a Red Flag. A Christian Bible Teacher, Pastor will Not use Single verses to teach or defend a Doctrine.

When you read the Bible you must understand that although All Scripture was written for our Benefit. Every Bible verse doesn’t apply Doctrinally to Christians. You cannot take random verses and say that they All teach Bible Doctrine to Christians. A lot of the Bible was / is Bible Doctrine Only to the Jew, to the Nation of Israel.

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:

You need to understand first who is being spoken to when you read the Bible.

The Book of James was written to Saved people, to Christians. Proof:

James 1:19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:

James 2:1 My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons.

The word Brethren means Christians, Fellow Believers. The Fact that James Chapter 1 starts out “My Brethren” is 100% Proof James is talking to Christians. He is Not Preaching to the Lost. He is Not Instructing Christians on Evangelism, how to win the Lost.

James Chapter 2 is speaking to Christians on how they should live, about their behavior towards each other.

It teaches a person is Justified in the “SIGHT OF MAN” by the Works that they do. Do you understand. James is NOT Teaching that we can be Saved, Justified by our Works by God.

Men and Women will Look at other people and in their eyes they will Judge them by their Works. People who have a Great amount of Good Works will be seen as Good People, Justified people. This is NOT God’s View.

Eternal Salvation is Not Mentioned anywhere in James Chapter 2.

“Works” are Necessary Not For Physical Salvation. Works are Necessary for a Christian’s spiritual Life. A Christian should do Good Works because they are Saved. Not to Get Saved is the Message of James Chapter 2.

In fact, the “saving”, mentioned in James 2 is speaking of physical saving, not the spiritual Salvation of the Soul. Again Eternal Salvation, Saving from Hell is Not mentioned.

Explaining James Chapter 2.

Verses 1-13: Is about how we should treat others. We should treat everyone equally, the same. We should Not have more Respect for people based on their Wealth. We should Not look down on anyone. We should help and give to the poor Not look down on them.

James 2:14 What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? Can faith save him?

The Saving in this Verse is Not talking about Saving a Person from Hell. It is clearly (You have to read the rest of the Chapter to understand the context.) talking about Saving them from Poverty.

You can have Great Faith in Jesus and in the Bible. But just having Faith will not Feed, Cloth, provide for you. Provide what you, or anyone else, needs to survive, to live life. You have to do physical Work to have the money you need to survive to live life. To provide for others, to give to the poor.

15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, 16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?

The message here is to Provide for the Poor. Do Not have them depart without providing for them. Kind words do Not Feed and clothe them. There is NO PROFIT spiritually or in any other way for missing the opportunity to provide for the poor. The Bible teaches God will Bless you in this life and in Eternity for providing for the Poor, the Needy.

17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. 18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.

These Verses are Still talking about there is NO PROFIT in Not providing for the poor. A Christian who has Faith in God will demonstrate their Faith by providing for the poor.

It takes Faith to Spend money. You are Saying God will provide for me if I don’t have savings. A Faithless person will accumulate wealth, save up for a rainy day. A person with Great Faith will Not live their life with a large bank account. They will spend their savings to help the poor. Giving to the Poor is Good Works that you will be rewarded for.

19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. 20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?

More of the same. The Bible is very repetitious to drive home the point. James 2 is talking to Fake Proud Christians. You know the kind that are Pharisees. They are Hypocrites. They tell you how to live but they don’t do what the preach. They claim to have Great Faith but yet they do not provide for the Poor. They have large savings because they are afraid, lack the Faith Not to. They don’t show their Faith by doing Good Works.

21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? 22 Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect? 23 And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God. 24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.

Abraham was justified by man Not by God in this passage. James 2 is talking about how man justifies other people.

Abraham was seen by people who went with him. People discovered what Abraham did when he took Isaac up to the altar. They saw Abraham and Isaac come back. They saw his Faith. Man could see his Faith by Him taking His promised seed, which God had given him, up to the altar without bringing an animal sacrifice with him.

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.

Romans 4 clearly says Abraham was NOT JUSTIFIED BY WORKS.

25 Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way? 26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

Rahab was justified by Man, by Joshua. He was preparing to destroy Jericho. He was told to kill every person inside the city. When Joshua learned of Rahab’s Faith which she showed by saving the lives of the spies, she was spared. Everyone in her home was spared. She was physically saved and justified by her works in front of the army of Israel.

Please do not Blindly Follow anyone. Study the Bible for yourself.
