Jack Chick, Dr. Peter Ruckman were they Christians?

Men of God or Satan’s False Teachers?

Jack T. Chick and Dr. Peter S. Ruckman they were Life Long Friends. They both Taught you have to Repent of Sin to Be Saved. That you have to Turn from your Sins to Be Saved. If you do not agree to Stop Sinning than you cannot be Saved. Is this True or False? I will completely answer this.

Jack T. Chick, Chick Publications, Christian or not Christian? I will answer that Question Completely.

After Jack Chick Died on October 23, 2016 numerous major publications like the New York Times Published articles about him. Many I have seen were very respectful. Others were Mocking him.

Countless Religious organizations, and people wrote Articles, Blogs, comments on Social Media that were very Hateful of him. People were dancing in Joy because he Died. Ironically they are just as Wrong on Salvation, Theology, the Basic understanding of the Bible as Jack Chick was.

Below is a generic standard short Bio for Jack T. Chick.

“Jack Thomas Chick (April 13, 1924 – October 23, 2016) was an American cartoonist and publisher, best known for his fundamentalist Christian “Chick tracts“. He expressed his perspective on a variety of issues through sequential-art morality plays.

Chick’s views have been spread mostly through the tracts and, more recently, online. His company, Chick Publications, says it has sold over 1 Billion tracts, comics tracts and comic books, videos, books, and posters designed to promote Evangelical Protestantism from a Christian fundamentalist perspective. They have been translated into more than 100 languages.

From 1953 to 1955, Jack Chick drew a single-panel cartoon, whose text was written by P. S. Clayton, titled Times Have Changed? It thematically resembled the B.C. comic strip and The Flintstones animated cartoon, but predated both. These were syndicated by the Mirror Enterprises Co. in Los Angeles area newspapers.

After converting to Christianity, Chick wanted to evangelize others, but he was too shy to talk to people directly about religion. Chick heard from missionary Bob Hammond, who had broadcast in Asia on the Voice of America, that the Chinese Communist Party had gained significant influence among ordinary Chinese in the 1950s through the distribution of small comic books. Chick also began working with a prison ministry and created a flip chart of illustrations to use with his presentation. He hit upon the idea of creating witnessing tracts, which could be given to people directly or indirectly.

While working for the AstroScience Corporation (a maker of tape recorders and avionics for the U.S. government) in El Monte, California, he self-published his first tract, Why No Revival? in 1960. He paid for it with a loan from his credit union. He published his second tract, A Demon’s Nightmare, in 1962. He decided to create more tracts and began “using his kitchen table as an office and art studio”. Christian bookstores were reluctant to accept the tracts, but they were popular among missionaries and churches.

He officially established Chick Publications in 1970 in Rancho Cucamonga, California. Initially, Chick wrote and illustrated all of the comics himself, but in 1972 he hired another artist to illustrate many of the tracts. Fred Carter illustrated tracts anonymously until 1980, when he was identified in an issue of Chick’s newsletter Battle Cry. Carter also painted the oil paintings seen in The Light of the World, a film Chick produced that related the Christian gospel.”

Life long Friends Dr. Peter S. Ruckman and Jack T. Chick

Dr. Peter Sturgis Ruckman (November 19, 1921 – April 21, 2016) was close friends with Jack Chick he sold Chick Publications / Tracts for 40 plus years. Like Chick Ruckman was an accomplished artist.

They were both Hated by Millions. Much more people Hated them than liked them. Jack T. Chick was much more known by the public than Ruckman. For example a simple Google Search of both of their Deaths will show numerous top Media Sites like the New York Times writing about Jack T. Chick.

Do the same search for Dr. Peter S. Ruckman and you will not see any major Media Site writing about him. His son another Dr. Peter Ruckman comes up because he murdered his two sons in cold blood and committed Suicide. He was obviously seriously mentally ill. Not a good look for the “Christian” influence of his Father on his life.

They were Loved by Radical KJV AV 1611 IFB, Independent Fundamental Baptists Churches because they wrote against every other possible Religion. Every Church Organization that was not a Radical KJV AV 1611 IFB Baptist Church they Mocked, Said were Lost Apostates.

Ruckman who Contradicted himself constantly also said: “People are Saved in almost every Church Denomination. There are Saved Catholics in most Catholic Churches. You will find Saved people in Mormon Churches, in Hindu, Buddhist Religions, in basically all Religious Organizations. You find them there because, many were Saved as Children than as Adults they rejected what they were taught and sought out something else. Even Adults will get mad at God and seek something else.

Exposing Lost False Teacher Jack T. Chick

At the end of every Jack Chick tract we find the following plan of salvation: “Be Willing To Turn From Sins.”

Jack Chick's: False Gospel — Jack Chick’s: False Gospel

Jack Chick’s “be willing to turn from sins” at the end of each of his tracts. Is clear PROOF that he is portraying Salvation as a Contract made, a DEAL with God. Not a gift. The Bible says Salvation is a Free Gift.

Jack Chick is Twisting the Scriptures. Acts 17:30 Explained:

Acts 17:30 “And the times of this ignorance God winked at [overlooked]; but now commandeth all men every where to repent.”

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

They needed to change their mind about God and see that He is not a graven image made of gold, silver, or stone but that He is a living God and is going to be their judge.

Verse 31, “Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.”

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

In this passage, Jesus Christ was talking to good people who believed that people suffered only because of their sins, and they concluded that those in Galilee whose blood Pilate mingled with sacrifices and those on whom the tower of Siloam fell were greater sinners because they died such horrible deaths.

Jesus contradicts the thinking of these self-righteous people and tells them that they need to repent or change their mind and see themselves as sinners, too, or they will perish in their own self-righteousness.

Everyone is Saved by the Gospel Only. You will not find Jesus, Paul or any of Jesus other Disciples teaching to Be Saved you have to Repent of Sin. To Make a Deal with God to Stop Sinning to Be Saved.

Jack Chick’s False Gospel: “I will give you this car, BUT you must be willing to wash it before I will give it to you”. This is not a Gift! And the implication is clear they must be willing do something to have the car.

Understand in Jack Chick’s (Also, Peter S. Ruckman’s and KJV AV 1611 IFB Baptist Churches, Evangelical Churches, The vast Majority of Churches.) False Gospel if you are not Willing to Stop Sinning as a Condition of Salvation than you will not be Saved. Their Salvation is conditional not a Free Gift. It is Works Salvation.

Beware of their Buzz Words the Scriptures they share that say they Believe in Salvation by Grace Alone, By Only Jesus, By Faith Alone. They do not Believe any of this or the Scriptures that say it. If you have enough time in their Churches. Or if you talk with them long enough you will hear them say: “Repent or Perish.” “If you do not Change Your Ways you will Go To Hell.” “Turn or Burn.” They have a Lot of unbiblical sayings, teachings.

Repent of Sin is not in the Bible.

Salvation is never presented in the Bible as a 4 step plan. There is not one example in the Bible of this. Only the issue presented in step 3 is relevant to getting saved. It is the job of the Holy Spirit to convict the Lost Sinner of their Sins and their need for Jesus as their Savior.

The Bible commands “preach the gospel to every creature” (Mark 16:15). 1st Cor 15:1-4 is the Gospel. Anything presented as the Gospel, the plan of Salvation. That is not the Gospel, (“any other gospel”-Gal 1:8) being preached is first of all disobedience to the Word of God. Second of all it is salvation by works. Because something is being ADDED. I don’t see “Turning from your Sins,” “Repent of Sin,” any other Work, in 1 Cor 15:1-4.

Millions of Lost people say it is a matter of semantics. I say if it does not match with the Word of God PRECISELY, it is False. Adding Words to the Gospel is NOT Semantics. An agreement to Stop Sinning to Be Saved is WORKS, it is not Semantics.

Satan Often says a lot of Half-Truths to Deceive. If you read the Bible you will clearly see this. The Bible is the Absolute Final Authority in Every WORD Spoken and Life Lived. If your Salvation is not the Gospel Only than you are Lost. If you are Saved and you do not Live your Life by the Bible than you are being Deceived by Satan.

Your Salvation is not determined by Good Works, by a Commitment to not Sin. A Friendly Warning If you choose to Live in Sin it is Wrong and it only Helps Satan. You will not Go to Hell but you do not want to meet Jesus after living a very Sinful Life.

Matthew 4:4
“But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.”

God has NEVER commanded us to present Salvation to Lost Sinners as a “Step-By-Step” process. That is not in the Bible anywhere. The Bible does not say “Preach a Plan”, it commands “preach the GOSPEL.”

Sadly Jack Chick Publications is poisoning multitudes with this deadly Salvation by Works message. I exhort you if you are Saved. If you have Believed the Gospel Only. The Death, Burial and Resurrection of Jesus to pay for the Penalty of your Sins. To STOP distributing Chick Tracts. To Immediately throw them out in double Bagged Dark Trash Bags, and start Preaching the Gospel. Make your own Gospel Tracts.

Examples of Jack Chick’s False Gospel in His Tracts:

Repent of Sin. Jack Chick's False Gospel. — **Repent of Sin. Jack Chick’s False Gospel.**

Surrender your life to Christ? That’s Lordship Salvation!

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

On their website’s statement of faith, they state concerning salvation:

“Salvation is the gift of God and includes the forgiveness of sins, the imputation of the Righteousness of Jesus Christ, and the gift of eternal life. Union with the triune God provides all blessings in this life and the life hereafter. Salvation is received by faith alone, apart from all good works and merit.”

SOURCE: http://www.chick.com/information/general/statementoffaith.asp

Yet, Mr. Chick horribly contradicts himself in every tract he writes when he REQUIRES lost sinners to “Be willing to turn from sin” to be saved. No Sir! Why doesn’t he state that in his statement of faith? This is deception! Jesus plainly said in Revelation 21:6, “I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life FREELY.” Jesus said in John 7:28, “He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.”

I always loved the booklets, “This Was Your Life!” and “Love Story” Unfortunately, I really didn’t fully read each tract. I was looking at the pictures that told a story I thought was correct. Years Later God Forced me to carefully read these Chick Tracts and Others and I immediately Realized Jack Chick was Teaching a False Gospel.

“Ask Jesus to come into your heart,” To “Invite Jesus into your life” Is a False Gospel Chick Tracts often uses. To “Ask Jesus into your Heart” is a False Gospel. To “Surrender your life to Christ” is a False Gospel. To “Trust Jesus” is a False Gospel.

“The Gospel” is defined as: Christ DIED on the cross for our sins, He was BURIED, and bodily RESURRECTED three days later according to 1st Corinthians 15:1-4, “Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures.” Beware of all the garbage being taught in churches and on religious radio today!

Jack Chick is Confusing!

Mr. Chick states on one hand that he believes “salvation is the gift of God”; but then on the other hand teaches that a person MUST “be willing to turn from sin” to be saved. What a contradiction!

Regardless of what Mr. Chick claims to believe, we must analyze his Gospel tracts based upon their content.

In order to be saved, Jack Chick requires a sinner to pray the words… “I am willing to turn from sin.” This is unbiblical. The implication is that a person must cease from the activity of sin to be saved. This is the heresy of Lordship Salvation, which is nothing less than works salvation, and a sure road to hellfire.

Biblical salvation is when a person turns toward Jesus Christ to be saved from their sin; NOT turning from their sin in order to be saved.

Romans 3:19 “Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.”

Carefully notice that a person is only required to turn to Jesus to be saved from the condemnation of sin, and not from the act of sin itself. The Law of God shows us our sinful condition, which causes us to realize that we are GUILTY!

Repentance is when we “turn” to Jesus to receive His free gift of forgiveness and eternal life. To turn to Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins is Biblical repentance.

This is drastically different than what Jack Chick is teaching, i.e., that a person is required to be willing to turn from the act of sin itself to be saved. You won’t find the phrases “repent of sin” or “turn from sin” anywhere in the Bible.

It is false doctrine to require lost sinners to “be willing to turn from sin” as part of saving grace. Jesus shed His precious blood to pay for our sins, because our own self-righteousness could NOT save us. Isaiah 64:6 declares our own self-righteousness as “filthy rags” in the sight of God Almighty.

Matthew 6:33, “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS; and all these things shall be added unto you.”

To go to Heaven my friend, you need HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS, i.e., Jesus’ righteousness. We read in:

Romans 10:3-4, “For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.”

Jack Chick asks sinners to establish their own righteousness when he tells them they MUST “be willing to turn from sin” in order to have God’s free gift of eternal life.

If a person is required to be willing to do anything to obtain a gift (other than receive it), then it is no longer a gift. If I say to my son… “You may borrow the car if you’re willing to bring it home with a full tank of gas.” The implication is clear—I expect him to completely fill the gas the tank before he returns the car!

The implication is the same in Chick Tracts. If a person MUST “be willing to turn from sin” to be saved, they are required to Forsake their Sinful behavior to be saved. They have to Stop Sinning.

According to Mr. Chick, you cannot be saved unless you’re “Willing To Turn From Sin.” (Which clearly implies that you must Forsake your Sinful Bad Habits to be Saved) There’s nothing in John 3:16, 1st Corinthians 15:1-4, or anywhere in the Bible, about Being Willing To Turn From Sin to be Saved.

In This Tract Party Girl, Grandma says: “If you Repent of Your Sins and Receive Jesus Christ by Faith then you will Receive God’s Love Gift.” Jill Prays “…Please come into my Heart and become my Savior.” Come into My Heart??? Really that is not in the Bible. To Be Saved Jill needed to Believe the Gospel. To Believe Jesus Died, was Buried, and Rose from the Dead to pay for the Penalty of All of Her Sins.

This Prayer if Believed will Save You: “Jesus I know I am a Sinner that deserves to spend Eternity in Hell. I Believe the Gospel that You Jesus Died in my Place. You were Buried and Rose from the Dead to Pay for All of My Sins. Jesus Please Save Me. I accept you as my Savior.”

Exposing Lost False Teacher Peter Sturgis Ruckman.

I first discovered Dr. Peter S. Ruckman in 1984. I have read a lot of what he has written and have heard and seen him preach numerous times. I went to his Church briefly. I think he was great in his defense of the AV 1611 KJV Bible. His chalk talk sermons were very original and mostly good.

If you are a person like me who has read a lot of Dr. Ruckman’s books, heard a huge amount of his preaching… Than you know he beats a dead horse better than anyone. He is very, very, very repetitive.

I find it extremely Hypocritical of people who are followers of Dr. Ruckman, that get Hateful, even violent, anytime he is questioned. They cannot dispute the criticism given so they lash out with Extreme Vile Hate.

It is so hypocritical because no person who ever lived (In my opinion) has been more critical and vocal in lashing out at people he disagreed with than Dr. Peter S. Ruckman.

He was full of himself with such pride. He loved to pat himself on the back. In his sermons he would demand that people shout Amen at him. “What are you all asleep? If you will not say Amen…. I will!!! Amen. Amen. Amen.

He repeated himself over and over and over again in each of his commentaries. Try reading one of his longer books a Bible Commentary and you can skip at least 25% of the book because it is him repeating the same stuff he has said at least a few hundred times in his other books. He goes on the same long rants in his books that really have nothing to do with the topic at hand. These rants are directed at people he disagrees with.

The purpose for these rants is to heap praise on himself….. “I am more intelligent than anyone else.”

He should have just written one book with all of these rants in it. He could have called it: My analysis of the errors of Christian Scholarship. And the errors of celebrated Lost People.

I do not think repeating the same rants over and over and over again was driven by anything other than his own ego. Something that may be true doesn’t need to be repeated in many different Bible Commentaries. This is redundant.

The biggest issue I have with Dr. Ruckman is his False Dispensationalism. His False Gospel, the Same False Gospel of Jack Chick. He teaches up to 12 different plans of Salvation. He also contradicts himself on almost everything if you are well read up on what he has written and have listened to and or watched his sermons.

Dr. Ruckman has a booklet the ABC’s of Salvation which I think is one of the best explanations of how to be Saved. But he also has another book: Soul Winning. In this book he teaches Lordship Salvation.

He talks about using Chick Tracts and how he really loves them. He also talked about a Tract from John R. Rice… which I do not think is in print any longer, I could not find it.

In this book of his on Soul Winning he said he was in a barber shop once. That there were several other men in the barber shop that were looking at a Kinsey Sex book… (Right now I will say I doubt this ever happened. The time this was to have happened would have been in the 70’s maybe the 80’s not later. Not once in my life have I ever been out in public and seen men anywhere openly looking at pornography and being rude and crude over it.)

Dr. Ruckman said he thought of just getting up and leaving even without his haircut being done. But he finished getting his hair cut. And as he was leaving he said: “I told those guys they needed to Repent, they need to stop their sinful ways or they would all go to Hell.” He told them to Repent of Sin or they will go to Hell. That is what his words meant.

This is 100% Lordship Salvation. When I read that book I could not believe that Dr. Ruckman would say this, let alone say this in a book on Soul Winning.

His book on Soul Winning did not teach how a person is Saved. It pushed Lordship Salvation. He did not even mention the Gospel in it. It was all about passing out Chick Tracts and telling people to Repent of Sin.

I have been apart of many different KJV only Churches IFB Baptist Churches. I have not seen many KJV only Churches that do not sell Chick Tracts and Fellowship Tract League Tracts both teach Lordship Salvation. (Half of Fellowship Tract League tracts are good the other half teach Lordship Salvation.) While I was in these Churches for nearly 10 years I never heard one Sermon on Repent of Sin. This was in the 1980s and the early 1990s.

I was Saved in 1973 long before I was involved with IFB Baptist Churches. I read the KJV Bible. Plus other Bible Versions back than. When I read Chick Tracts I never connected them with their False Gospel. I think because I knew the Truth my brain was hard wired to the Gospel. I trusted the Pastor’s and the People in these Churches so I did not carefully read Chick Tracts. I have talked with numerous other people that told me they had the same experience.

Over the years I have confronted a bunch of KJV only Pastors about Lordship Salvation. Most of them either believed in Lordship Salvation or they refused to even discuss it.

If you are Saved you should have a serious problem with Dr. Ruckman and with Jack Chick. These False Teachers are responsible for thousands if not Millions of people going to Hell.

False Gospels:

Lordship salvation: “You have to Turn from your sins in order to be saved.” This is simply not True and is not found in the Bible.

A person is saved by believing on Jesus Only. The Gospel by which we are Saved is the Belief that Jesus Died, was Buried and that he Rose again on the 3rd day to pay the entire world’s Sin Debt.

Nowhere in the Bible does it say to be Saved a person has to 1st Turn From Their Sins.

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.”

Peter S. Ruckman Love him or Hate him. People In the ministry Hate Dr. Ruckman. They rejoiced in his Death. The main issue is over the AV 1611 KJV Bible.

These people Hate Dr. Ruckman because they could not defend their position on the AV 1611 KJV Bible. Dr. Ruckman exposed them for making themselves the final authority over the Bible.

The Fans of Dr. Ruckman have the Same amount of Hatred for anyone that dares to question anything about him. They refuse to be objective.

The quickest way to get Blocked by fans of Dr. Ruckman is to ask them to be objective and to see the Flaws, Faults he had.

Ruckmanites are a Cult. They proudly call themselves Ruckmanites. How is this different than being a Calvinist? It is no different because they believe Calvinist False Doctrines. Most Ruckmanites are Calvinist, despite the fact most of them will not admit it.

When you put Dr. Ruckman ahead of Jesus you are not a Christian you are a Ruckmanite. Everyone who calls themselves a Ruckmanite is putting Dr. Ruckman ahead of Jesus.

The Worship that Dr. Ruckman gets is alarming.

It is very distressing how people will Worship men. Dr. Ruckman Worship is not a first. Most popular and noted Pastor’s have a multitude of people who Worship them. I find that people put their Pastor on a pedestal and refuse to ever question him. (Her for wicked people who will be in a Church with a Female Pastor.)

When you question someone like Dr. Ruckman the fangs of people immediately come out. I have never found a Ruckmanite that would be Civil when I tried to talk about things Dr. Ruckman was wrong about. Interestingly enough they are unable to use the Bible they claim to Believe to defend Dr. Ruckman’s False and Contradictory Bible teachings.

What they do is Attack me. “How DARE YOU question Dr. Ruckman.” “You think you know the Bible better than him?” Their go to position is “Well Dr. Ruckman is the greatest defender of the AV 1611 KJV that there ever was. How can you question him.”

Just because a person is correct about one thing does not mean that they are never wrong. When you cannot use the Bible to defend a False Teaching you believe. And you have to say “Well he defended the AV 1611 KJV Bible…” you are just Worshiping a man.

Dr. Ruckman’s False Teachings are sending people to Hell. He taught that Repent means to Turn from Sin, to Repent of Sin.

I was blocked by a Ruckmanite Pastor, who said that Dr. Ruckman never taught that Repent means to Turn from Sin. I provided indisputable proof to him. He rejected the proof saying I was making too much of it. That it was wrong of me to say that Dr. Ruckman taught that Repent means to Turn from Sin. Even when he said it over and over again in his book Theological Studies Volume 2 Chapter 54 “Repentance.”

When people reject published proof they are Frauds. Almost everyday I provide written proof, video proof to people who are supporting a False Doctrine, a False Teacher. If you are given the published evidence that proves you are wrong you need to be an adult and say: “OK you just proved it.”

Almost no one will admit they are wrong even after they are proven 100% to be wrong. They will just Block you. Ignore, Avoid you.

This person I am talking about said I was wrong and denied all the evidence I showed him. He did not deny that the information I provided was true. He said it just did not matter. He made me out to be the Bad Guy for saying that Dr. Ruckman taught that Repent means to Turn from Sin. He said so what he taught the truth too.

Satan mixes Truth with Lies. A person that sometimes Teaches Salvation correctly but also will later teach Repent of Sin, Works Salvation, they are not Saved they are a False Teacher. Any Saved person will Never Teach Works as a part of Salvation.

Most people know that Dr. Ruckman taught that Repent means to Turn from Sin, and they agree.

The Bible does not teach that Repent means to Turn from Sin. To defend his False Teaching that Repent means to Turn from Sin. Dr. Ruckman adds Turn from Sin to the Bible.

Word for word, from his book on Theology: “Gospel Repentance” is turning from Sin and turning to God. It is best illustrated in Acts 20:21, where Paul said:

Acts 20:21 “Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.”

Sin is not mentioned at all in Acts 20:21. It does not say to Turn from Sin.

Dr. Ruckman is adding Turn from Sin to this verse. He is a Hypocrite who endlessly screams about people adding and taking away words from the Bible. He is just like them adding words to the Scriptures and taking away words.

In this same Chapter Dr. Ruckman defines Repent as to change your mind which is correct. Like I said Dr. Ruckman constantly contradicted himself.

Let’ look at this more. So the verse: “… repentance toward God, (a change of mind from unbelief in God to belief), and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.”

John 3:16 is saying the same thing as Acts 20:21.

To be Saved a person must believe:

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.”

The essence is: Believe in God, and put your Faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, to Save you.

Exactly what Acts 20:21 is saying. If you do not see this your mind is Blinded.

Dr. Ruckman adds Turning from Sin to Acts 20:21.

The Bible is very repetitive. The entire theme of the Bible is Jesus was sent by God to Save the world from the Penalty of all their Sins. Believe in God and put your Faith in Jesus to Save you.

Another passage saying the same thing:

1st John 5:11 And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.

12 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.

13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.

Bible Salvation Bible Verses:

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:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Every time in the Bible a person is told to Believe on Jesus to be Saved. No place in the Bible does it say to Repent of Sin to be Saved.

FYI In the Bible God Repents more than anyone. God does not Sin.

Repentance has nothing to do with Sin.

God Repents in the Bible more than anyone else. God does not Sin.

Every time God Repents he changes his mind.

When a Person Believes on Jesus they have just Repented because they Changed their mind from Unbelief in Jesus to Belief in Jesus.

More Salvation Bible Verses.

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.

The Bible is Clear. A Person is Saved by Believing on Jesus. A person only goes to Hell for Rejecting Jesus. Because of their Unbelief in Jesus. No One goes to Hell for Sin.

In the included video starting at 10:00 minutes Dr. Ruckman teaches that Repent means to Turn from Sin.

Jesus Is The Truth. People Hate The Truth.

John 14:6

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

There is a lot of Bible Doctrine in John 14:6. This is Jesus speaking.

“I Am” is the Title for God. Jesus is saying that he is God.

“The Truth.” The Truth is what is real and Honest. If you correctly recount something you did than you are telling the Truth for example. More on the Truth later.

Ephesians 4:21

“21 If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:”

Jesus is the Truth. When a Person is open minded and they hear the Truth of Jesus from the Scriptures taught to them they will Accept Jesus and get Saved.

The Entire Passage:

Ephesians 4:

17 This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind,

18 Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart:

19 Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.

These Gentiles (Exactly like people today.) Rejected Jesus. They are Ignorant and Vain. They are their own gods walking in their own truths they have created in their Blind Hearts.

They have Rejected the Truth they were told from the Scriptures about Jesus. Jesus the Way the Truth and the Life.

Once a person has completely Rejected Jesus they turn their Lives over to Sin.

Directions for Christians:

Ephesians 4:

20 But ye have not so learned Christ;

21 If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:

22 That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;

23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;

24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.

“The Life” This is Jesus saying that he created the Heavens and the Earth and all the Life in the Heavens and the Earth. Again Jesus is saying that he is God.

John 1:

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

2 The same was in the beginning with God.

3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

“No man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”

Jesus is the ONLY WAY TO HEAVEN. Salvation is Through Jesus 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:

A person is Saved by Believing the Gospel only for their Salvation. Jesus as God became a human. He Lived a Perfect Sinless Life. He laid down his Life to Save mankind. Jesus Died, was Buried and he Rose from the Dead 3 days later to pay the Penalty for all of the Sins of the Human Race.

The Truth:

Jesus affirmed that He is the Truth. Not a Truth, not one of the Truths. Jesus is the only Truth. Meaning no one else can determine what is Right what is Wrong. What is True (Right) is the opposite of what is Wrong. Jesus is King of Kings and Lord of Lords. He will judge the entire world. Because no one else can. No one else is the Truth.

Deuteronomy 32:

3 Because I will publish the name of the Lord: ascribe ye greatness unto our God.

4 He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.

Verse 4 is a direct reference to Jesus the Rock in 1^st Corinthians 10:4

“And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.”

We see Jesus as God clearly in the Old Testament. Deuteronomy chapter 32 and 1 Corinthians chapter 10 speak of Jesus being God. The Rock, The Truth.

The entire passage:

1st Corinthians 10:

1 Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;

2 And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;

3 And did all eat the same spiritual meat;

4 And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.

Again, Jesus right here is God in the Old Testament. The people in the Old Testament knew of Jesus as God. Moses taught them about Jesus. Spiritual meat is the Scriptures. The children of Israel the Jews were taught the Scriptures by Moses. In these Scriptures they were taught that Jesus is God that would Die for the Sins of the World.

Spiritual meat is the Scriptures:

Hebrews 5:

12 For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.

13 For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.

14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

1st Corinthians 10:

5 But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness.

6 Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.

7 Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.

8 Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.

9 Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents.

10 Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer.

11 Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.

1st Corinthians Chapter 10 explains that Jesus was known as God the Rock in the Old Testament. That the Scriptures were written to Teach us God’s Truth.

How the children of Israel rejected God and many were killed by serpents because of their Sins. God Hates Sin. Sin always has consequences in this Life.

People Go to Hell because they Hate the Truth (Jesus). People do not rage with Anger when someone says or teaches about Allah, Krishna, Radha, Rama Sita, Shiva, Durga, gods of other Religions. I do not hear people using other Religion’s gods as swear words.

No, the Hate and Anger people have is directed at Jesus, his Deity, Jesus as God. I have to turn off Movies and TV because many Movies and TV shows are constantly saying: “G_d Dammit.” “Jesus Christ” as swear words. TV and movies do not curse other Religions gods.

Jesus / Christianity is Hated because it exposes the Truth.

What Truth? That we are Sinners that deserve to go to Hell.

People do not want to be told how Evil and Vile they are. The Truth, the Word of God exposes people’s Sins and they Hate it.

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.

21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

People hate to hear the Truth because they know it is the Truth. They know how Vile and Evil they are but they do not care. They want to have Secret hidden Lives. They are Two Faced. They act one way with their Family. Another way at Work. And yet another way with their Buddies. Their Friends, the people they enjoy Sinning with. Drinking, Smoking, doing Drugs, Fornicating, committing Adultery and all manner of Evil.

Some just do not care. They Love their Sins and they proudly post pictures and videos of themselves Sinning. But they still have a Quick Temper when someone tries to tell them about Jesus. When someone is trying to tell them the Gospel. They get mad and start swearing. Why, because they Love their Sins and Hate Jesus. They Hate the Truth. Inside themselves they know the Truth. They know they are headed to Hell. They like to think that Hell will be this great party where they will hang out with Satan and all of their Friends. There are Songs just about this.

Jesus talks about these people:

John 8:

41 Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.

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.

People Go to Hell because they refuse to Believe the Truth. “Because I tell you the Truth” See people know the Truth. They refuse to Believe it because they know it is the Truth. This is Rejecting the Truth. This is Rejecting Jesus. “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.

“Of God” A person of God (Even people that have not been Saved yet.) “Of God” means a person who is open to hearing God’s Word. A person who wants to know the Truth. A person who does not reject the Truth of God’s Word. A person who does not Reject Jesus.

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.

Jesus and all of Jesus’ followers, Christians are attacked.

Satan’s Devils, his minions accuse Christians of Lying and Teaching Satan’s Lies. They do not want people to know the Truth so they Mock Christians and Christianity. They have their own False Counterfeit Christianity.

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.

What is Jesus saying? What did Jesus teach about himself, about how a person is Saved?

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.

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.

21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

John 4:

7 There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.

8 (For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.)

9 Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.

10 Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.

11 The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water?

12 Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?

13 Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:

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

15 The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw.

Jesus Teaches that to Be Saved all you have to do is Ask him to Save you. To Believe in him. To Believe in his Death, Burial, and Resurrection, the Gospel to Save you.

Jesus Died For All Sin.

Hebrews 10:12

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

Jesus is the ONE AND ONLY SACRIFICE FOR ALL SINS FOREVER.

Hebrews 10:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

17 And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more. 18 Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.

The Bible makes it Crystal Clear that Jesus Died for ALL SIN. ADDING ANYTHING TO JESUS BLOOD ATONEMENT IS WORKS.

Almost ALL CHURCHES Deny this Fact. People who Believe and Teach this are Falsely called Universal Salvationist.

Universal Salvation means that No One Goes to Hell.

Yes, Jesus Died For All Sin.

No, Everyone Does Not Go to Heaven.

To Be Saved A Person Has to ACCEPT Jesus FREE GIFT of Salvation.

NO ONE GOES TO HELL FOR SIN!!!

You will not Find ONE VERSE That Says a Person Goes to Hell / the Lake of Fire Because of their Sin.

PEOPLE GO TO HELL FOR REJECTING JESUS.

This is what the Bible Says:

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.

Salvation Happens as Soon as A Person BELIEVES IN JESUS. This Belief is in 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:

John 3:

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

Jesus did not come into the World to Send people to Hell. Jesus came into the World to Die For ALL SIN, so the world could 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.”

Everyone that has Believed the Gospel is Saved and will never be Condemned. Right here is Eternal Salvation. Note Salvation is not Salvation if it can be Taken Away, Lost in any way.

EVERYONE THAT HAS NOT BELIEVED ON JESUS, IS RIGHT NOW, CONDEMNED. YES THIS IS WHAT THE BIBLE TEACHES.

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.”

People do not Go to Hell for their Sins. They Go to Hell for Rejecting Jesus.

People refuse to Accept Jesus because they LOVE THEIR SIN. LOVE OF SIN KEEPS PEOPLE FROM BEING SAVED.

I have talked with countless people who have told me something like this: “I will probably get Saved when I am older. Right now I am young. I am single. I want to have all the FUN (SEX, GETTING DRUNK, DOING DRUGS, ALL MANNER OF EVIL…) I can possibly have. I do not want to be a hypocrite. People HATE CHRISTIANS BECAUSE THEY ARE ALL HYPOCRITES. If I get Saved I will not be a Hypocrite.”

“…Men Loved DARKNESS RATHER THAN LIGHT, BECAUSE THEIR DEEDS WERE EVIL.” People chose their SINS OVER JESUS.”

20 “For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.”

THE LOST HATE JESUS. YES THE LOST, THE UNSAVED HATE JESUS. THEY HATE HAVING THEIR SINS SEEN AND REPROVED.

When I talk with people about Jesus most immediately get MAD: “How DARE YOU Talk to me about JESUS!!! There is a separation between the Church and the State. Leave Jesus in the Church. If I wanted to hear about JESUS I would go to Church.!!!!” “JESUS FREAK SHUT UP!!! I WILL SHUT YOU UP IF YOU KEEP TALKING TO ME ABOUT JESUS!!!”

This instant HATE, ANGER, VIOLENCE, is unnatural. It is SATANIC. I can see the EVIL in their faces in their eyes.

21 “But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.”

What is doing Truth? Doing Truth is when a Christian lives by the Word of God. The TRUTH IS THE WORD OF GOD. Christians LOVE JESUS, they are not ashamed of their deeds because they are living according to God’s Word.

Salvation is a Free Gift offered to Everyone.

The Bible does not say to Repent of Sin. Repent of Sin is not in the Bible. Repent of Sin means to go to Heaven you have to Ask Forgiveness of every Sin you have ever committed. This is not possible and it is Working your Way to Heaven. Because Repent of Sin also means that to be Saved you have to agree Before you can Be Saved that you will not Sin. Part of their False Plan of Salvation: “Be willing to Turn from Sin.” Turning from Sin = To Not Sin.

They say willful sin is what they are talking about… As if they do not willfully have Sexual Fantasies. They willfully consume Alcohol, Smoke, Drink, Lie,

are full of Pride, are Self-Righteous, are easily Angered.

1^st John 1:10

“If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.”

They are Lying about NOT Sinning.

Yes this is What people who Believe in Repent of Sin teach. Just look at any Chick Tract.

Jesus Died For All Sin. No One Goes To Hell For Sin. People go to Hell for One Reason Only. For Rejecting Jesus Free Gift Of Salvation.

John 1:29

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

Revelation 1:5

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

Matthew 1:21

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

Colossians 2:14

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

2nd Corinthians 5:15

“And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.”

1st Peter 3:18

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

1st John 2:2

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

1st John 3:5

“And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.”

1st Peter 2:24

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

1st John 4:10

“Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.”

Titus 2:14

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

Hebrews 1:3

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

2nd Corinthians 5:21

“For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.”

In John Chapter 3 Jesus Tells us how to Be SAVED. Believe in him. Believe the Gospel. Jesus does not Say to do anything else. He does not Say to Repent of Sin, to Forsake Sin, to Turn From Sin to be Saved. He does not say you have to be Baptized to Be Saved.

To Be Saved Believe the Gospel Only. Believe Jesus Died, was Buried, and he Rose from the Dead to pay for all of your Sins. Ask Jesus to Save You. To ADD ANYTHING ELSE TO THIS IS WORKS AND IS NOT SALVATION.

John 3:

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

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

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

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

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

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

18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

Believe on Jesus to be Saved. If you have not please Ask Jesus to Save you right now. Trust in Jesus only to Save you. Believe the Gospel Only to be Saved.

Jesus Said, I Never Knew You: Depart from me…

The 7 Words No One Wants To Hear: I Never Knew You: Depart From Me…

Matthew Chapter 7 is twisted by False Teachers to Teach a Works based Salvation.

Matthew 7:23 “And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.”

Why did Jesus not know them? Because they were not Saved. They never Asked Jesus to Save them. They Rejected Jesus Free Gift of Salvation. They were trusting in their own Self-Righteousness to get them into Heaven.

John Chapter 10 explains their Rejection perfectly.

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.

Jesus did plainly say that he was the promised: Christ, the Messiah. He was daily reading in the Temple proclaiming he was the Messiah foretold in the scriptures. Jesus Preached his coming Kingdom everywhere he went. Jesus Declared himself God and King.

John Chapter 5 is a perfect example.

John 5:17 But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.

18 Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.

Jesus was Crucified because he Claimed to be the Christ, the Messiah foretold in the Scriptures. Verse 18 is clear the Jews sought to Kill Jesus because he said he was God.

Jesus Daily made it clear that he was God in the Flesh that came to Save the World from their Sins.

John 3:14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:

Right here in verse 14 Jesus is Telling the People that he would be Crucified. Moses put a serpent on a wooden stick and lifted it high so everyone could see. The people who looked upon it were Saved.

Numbers 21:7 Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against the Lord, and against thee; pray unto the Lord, that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people.

8 And the Lord said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live.

9 And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived.

John 3:15 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 3:14-18 are Jesus own words describing how he came to Save the World. Everyone who Believes in Jesus will be immediately Saved.

The Jews in Chapter 10 are the same Jews that are here in Chapter 5. Like all Unbelievers / False Teachers, from the past and from today they instantly Rejected the Truth when it was told to them. They endlessly asked Jesus to keep repeating himself. They constantly badgered Jesus with the same questions.

All throughout the Gospels. These Unbelievers and the False Religious Leaders (the Sadducees and the Pharisees) continuously demanded Jesus to submit to their Authority. They Rejected Jesus as the Messiah. Today is no different. “Christian” Churches Reject Jesus as The Savior. They add Works to the Gospel. “You must Repent of your Sins to be Saved.” “You have to be Baptized to be Saved.” “You have to speak in tongues to prove you are Saved.” And on and on and on with False Conditions to Salvation…

John 5:19 Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.

20 For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel. 21 For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will.

Verses 19-21 Explain Jesus relationship with God the Father. Jesus is God the Son, the second member of the Holy Trinity. God is one God in 3 Person’s. We see that Jesus is equal to God the Father. Whatever God the Father does, Jesus can do too. It is important to know that God knows we can not comprehend this.

1st Timothy 3:16 “And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.”

Jesus being God in the flesh is a great mystery. Our human minds can not process this. This is why Christianity is called the Christian Faith. It takes Faith to Believe this, to Believe the Bible. The Truth of the Bible is proven through Historical Facts. Jesus life, Crucifixion, and resurrection are all Historical facts.

John 5:22 For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:

23 That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.

Verses 22, 23 Jesus is saying he is God. The Jews present understood this.

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.

Verse 24 Is a Salvation, Eternal Life verse. The Bible teaches a person is Saved by Believing Jesus Words given to us in the Bible. What words in particular? In particular Believe on me, Believe in me. Jesus says this over and over and over again. Jesus’s Apostles his Disciples say this too. Salvation is Belief in Jesus Only to Save You. To Believe the Gospel to Save You.

John Chapter 3 teaches we are Saved by Believing in Jesus. Believing that Jesus came to Save the world. Jesus declared himself to be the promised Messiah. The Old Testament teaches that the Messiah would die for the Sins of the World. Just Read Isaiah 53.

Jesus opened to Isaiah 53 in the Synagogue he said these Scriptures refer to me. Jesus said that he came to fulfill these Scriptures promises. This is exactly why the Jewish Leaders sought to Kill him because Jesus claimed to be the Promised Messiah that would Die for the Sins of the World. They Rejected Jesus and went about working their way to Heaven. The Church Leaders of today are doing the same thing.

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.

Jesus’s miracles: feeding thousands of people, healing the sick, raising the Dead were done to Prove that he is God, the Promised Messiah.

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.

Verses 26-30 Jesus is calling them out for not Believing in him. They are not his Sheep because they have not Believed in him. Jesus is again explaining that he is God who gives Eternal Life, which no one can take away from those who have Believed in him.

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,

Verses 31-39 The Jews Intended to Stone Jesus to Death. Because he in their words is committing Blasphemy. By calling himself God / the Son of God. In verse 38 even though they want to Murder him, Jesus is pleading with them. To Believe in him because of all of the Miracles he has done. Jesus has Incredible Mercy.

Matthew Chapter 7.

Matthew 7:13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:

14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

Take the Narrow Gate. — Take the Narrow Gate

People (People who claim to be Christians) do not understand verses 13 and 14. There are numerous illustrations of the Straight Narrow Path to Heaven, and the Wide Broad Path to Hell. None of these illustrations come close to getting it right. The typical illustration is the Broad Path (The way to Hell) being 3 times wider than the Narrow Path leading to Heaven. No that is not close to right. (The illustration I found above is just equal paths. That illustration is just showing that you have to make a Choice to either Accept Jesus and Go to Heaven or to Reject Jesus and Go to Hell. It shows 1 person on the Narrow Path and a lot of people on the Wide Path which is accurate.)

The Narrow Path in a more realistic Biblical illustration would be a Narrow River 3 feet wide just a stream. While the Broad Path would be the Pacific Ocean. Yes this is what Jesus is saying. Vs. 14 “…and few there be that find it.”

Few is an incredibly small number. Jesus wants Everyone to know that of the Billions of people that are Born from the Beginning of time to the End of time there will be Few people that get Saved. My Belief is that A Million or Two Million people of everyone who has ever been born will be Saved. Everyone Else Will Go to Hell / The Lake of Fire because they Rejected Jesus Free Gift of Salvation.

Most Pastors / Bible Teachers (Almost all of these people are Lost) Act like the Numbers are: (Let’s say that 10 Billion is the total number of people who will have ever lived.) out of 10 Billion People 7 Billion will go to Hell / the Lake of Fire. And 3 Billion will go to Heaven. That is not what Few means. That is still a huge number of Saved people.

Another example would be: A mother tells her son that he can open the new bag of Candy. (The Bag is marked, 500 pieces of candy.) You can have a few pieces, do not take more than 3. That is what a Few means. 3 out of 500 is a Few. As the number grows the ratio stays small like a Million or Two Million out of 10 Billion. In this case the number of a Million or Two million would be Few. Even though a Million taken by itself is a Large Number.

15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.

18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

Verses 15-20 are twisted to teach Works Salvation. The entire context is in verse 15: “Beware of False Prophets…” everything in verses 15-20 is talking about False Prophets not anyone else.

These False Teachers are Corrupt. Jesus contrasts them with a Good Tree, which is a God called Preacher / Pastor / Teacher. These Good Ministers of God will Bring forth Good Fruit, Good Works. But the False Teachers can not produce anything but Bad Fruit, Bad Works, because they are not Saved.

Verses 15-20 does not teach that people have to Do Good Works to go to Heaven. That a Person can do enough Good Works to Earn their way to Heaven. These verses are not talking about personal Salvation, about how a person is Saved. Salvation is not even mentioned. Today’s False Teachers put Salvation in these verses when Salvation is never the topic. False Teachers is the topic.

21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

Again False Teachers Twist this verse to Teach Works Salvation. They say see: “…but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.” So you have to Work your way to Heaven. You must have enough Good Works to Go to Heaven.

This passage does not say anything about doing Good Works. It says doeth the will of my Father. Here is the Will of God the Father:

John 6:39 And this is the Father’s will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.

40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

1^st 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.

Simply put God’s Will is that Everyone would be Saved, to have Eternal Life.

Matthew 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

Verse 22 completely refutes False Teachers that Teach you have to Work your way to Heaven. (Repent of Sin, be Baptized, etc.) Here they are Telling Jesus they should go to Heaven because of all of their Wonderful Works. Because of Everything Good they Did for him. You can do Nothing to Work you Way to Heaven. Salvation is 100% the Work of Jesus Alone.

Romans 4:3 For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.

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

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

23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Jesus reply: I NEVER KNEW YOU: DEPART FROM ME…

Jesus clearly was not impressed with their Self-Righteous Good Works. In fact Jesus called their Good Works Iniquity. It is Vile to Say to Jesus, Your Blood Atonement is not Good Enough to get me into Heaven. I will (I have to do) do Good Works to add to your Sacrifice. Jesus Your Blood Atonement is Not Good Enough…

That is the Biggest Insult you could say / do to Jesus. This is Rejecting Jesus as your Savior.

Matthew 7:24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:

25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.

26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:

27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.

28 And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:

29 For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.

Verses 24-29 Are Jesus explaining that People who Trust in Him Only for Salvation are Wise. Everyone who Rejects Jesus is Foolish.

We are Saved by Believing the Gospel Only for our Salvation. 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:

Is The Sinner’s Prayer Biblical?

The Sinner’s Prayer is Biblical. Beware of the Repent of Sin Sinner’s Prayer.

Type The Sinner’s Prayer in a search engine like Google or Yahoo. You will Find Satan’s UnBiblical Sinner’s Prayer. Almost ALL “Christian” Tracts and Publications Publish Satan’s False Sinner’s Prayer. The Sinner’s Prayer is Biblical.

Do not Blindly Believe what you see online, in print. Always do your own research. I will show you that The Sinner’s Prayer is Biblical. Is in the Bible.

What is a Prayer? A Prayer is simply talking with Jesus / God. Jesus told people how to be Saved. He said Ask me. Believe in me.

The Woman at the Well.

John 4:10 Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.

11 The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water?

12 Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?

13 Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:

14 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.
15 The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw.

Jesus told the Samaritan Woman. (The woman at the well.) If she would have Asked of him. He would have given her Living Water. Eternal Life. She did Ask Jesus. And Jesus Saved her.

This is a Sinner’s Prayer. Today the only way to talk with Jesus is through Prayer. Jesus offered Salvation and the Samaritan Woman Asked Jesus to Save her. Salvation is that Simple. What happened? She Believed in Jesus. She Believed Jesus Words. Ask Jesus to Save You and he will.

Luke 23 A Sinner’s Prayer.

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.

The Thief on the Cross. Asked Jesus to Save him. And Jesus did.

Today the only way to talk with Jesus is in Prayer. Pray and Ask Jesus to Save you. This is The Sinner’s Prayer.

Why do people, Churches say a Sinners Prayer will not Save you? Why do they say it is not in the Bible? In the Bible Jesus tells people to Ask for Salvation. We see people Asking to be Saved. Why do they deny the Sinner’s Prayer? The Answer is they are Lost. They are working for Satan.

It is a Lie. It is EVIL. When Religious People. Pastors. Evangelists. Say that you will Go to Hell. If you Ask Jesus to Save You. If you say The Sinner’s Prayer. Yes, they say this exactly. They claim Asking Jesus to Save you is a Work. They call Asking Jesus to Save you Works Salvation.

False Teacher’s Falsely Accuse people. Who Ask Jesus to Save them in a Sinner’s Prayer. Of Believing a False Gospel.

They say a Person cannot be saved by Asking Jesus to Save them. “Saying The Sinner’s Prayer. Will do nothing for a person.” “It will make Lost people think they are Saved.”

Many say this is “Easy Believism.” Easy Believism is a term made up by lordship Salvationist. They deny the Bible. And say You have to Repent of Sin. Forsake Sin. Make Jesus the Lord of your Life. Turn From Sin. Give Your Life to Jesus to be Saved. They have a lot of terms they make up that are not in the Bible.

What is 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:

We are Saved by believing the Gospel.

Verse 1 You Receive. How do you Receive something? You Accept it. Like when the mail carrier Gives You a Package. Just seeing the package does nothing. You have not Received the Package until you have Accepted it. Taken it. The people in Corinth. They heard the Gospel preached unto them. And they Accepted it. They received it. Which means they Believed it.

Look at verse 2. “By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. What Paul Preached is recorded in Romans.

Paul wrote 1^st Corinthians and Romans.

Romans 10:8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, [even] in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

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

12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.
13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Paul said which WE Preach. WE? Yes, Jesus, All of Jesus Disciples.

Dispensationalist, IFB Baptists, teach many different Gospels. They say that Paul Preached His own Gospel. Jesus Had his own Gospel. Peter Had Another Different Gospel. Right there is 3 different Gospels.

The Bible has ONLY ONE TRUE GOSPEL. Jesus and Paul warned us of False Gospel’s.

Galatians 1:3 Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ,

4 Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father:

5 To whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

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.

There is only One True Gospel.

As soon as your Church. “Christians.” Start talking to you about other Gospel’s. Saying that the Bible has many different Plans of Salvation. You need to RUN. RUN from them. Do not go back to that Church.

Dr. Peter S. Ruckman admits in his Books. And in Sermons. That in the Book of Acts there were at least 7 different Gospels Preached. That is 7 different ways to be Saved. He is not alone in this False Teaching. This is what Dispensationalist Teach.

In 1st Corinthians and in Romans Paul explains how a person is Saved.

You, cannot say Paul is lying in one place. And telling the Truth in another place. Well, people say exactly that. Some deny both 1^st Corinthians 15:1-4 and Romans Chapter 10. They also Deny the whole book of John.

This sounds incredible but it is the Truth. These False Teachers deny these Scriptures. Because the Word Repent is not used. Only verses that include the word Repent, are Salvation verses according to them.

They Falsely define Repentance / Repent. They define Repent as, Repent of Sin. Repent of Sin is not in the Bible. Repentance = Belief in Jesus. Because Repentance means to Change your mind from unbelief in Jesus to Belief in Jesus.

False Teachers

Satan does not want people to Pray and Ask Jesus to Save them.

If you do not Ask Jesus to Save you than YOU ARE NOT SAVED.

It is clear that when you Believe on Jesus you are in fact Praying to Jesus. You are Saying The Sinner’s Prayer. We have many thoughts in our heads. Thinking about Believing on Jesus is not Believing on Jesus.

For example. Ask People what the Gospel is? Many people will say John 3:16. Many people will say that Jesus died for the Sins of the World.

There is not a lot of Ignorance about what the Gospel is. The majority of Lost people you ask will correctly tell you the Gospel. A big reason for this is TV and Movies Love Mocking Christian’s, Christianity. People on TV, in the Movies will Mockingly Say things like. “Yes, I know Jesus Loves Me. He Died for all of My Sins. He wants to Save me. Blah, Blah, Blah.”

Lost people do know. That Jesus, Died, was buried and he Rose from the Dead. To Save the World from their Sins. That is in their minds. In their thoughts. Knowing the Gospel is not Believing the Gospel.

If You Believe the Gospel You will Ask Jesus to Save You.

“I Believe in Jesus.” But you Never Asked Jesus to Save You. This Does Not sound like a Person who Believes the Gospel. Who has Believed in Jesus Only to Save them.

The last example. You can Believe that Tylenol will take away your headache. That is a great Belief. But until you actually take the Tylenol you will still have your headache.

Salvation is something you have to Accept. Receive. Ask for. The Thief on the Cross Asked Jesus to Save him. The Samaritan Woman Asked Jesus to Save her. Jesus told the Samaritan Woman, if you would have ASKED.

I will Believe Jesus over anyone Else.

Jesus said ASK. Yes, Jesus said ASK to Be Saved. Everyone Saying you will Go to Hell. If You say the Sinner’s Prayer. They are Going to Hell. Do not Go to Hell Believing them.

Praying The Sinner’s Prayer is Biblical. You are doing what it Says in Romans 10:13. Romans 10:13 “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”

How do you call on the name of the Lord today? Well, You Pray.

Beware of False Teachers.

The Flesh Versus The Spirit

Our Internal Struggle. The Flesh Versus The Spirit.

If you are a Christian your Flesh will fight against your spirit. The Flesh Versus The Spirit. This constant struggle is a tough daily battle. We fight to control our thoughts. Our minds will drift. We will not always know what we are thinking about. Our deep thoughts we are not usually conscience of. Many times we are spacing out and suddenly become aware of what we were dreaming about. X-Rated thoughts.

It is a fight to keep our thoughts clean. And not full of thoughts of revenge against people who have wronged us. To not lust for attractive people we see, or may know. To not dream about Bad things (Things we enjoyed doing. Sinful things.) we have done in the past or hope to do in the future.

Galatians 5:17 “For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.”

One proof that a Person is a Christian is they Struggle with Sin. For most Lost people Sin is a way of life. Sin is not something they Worry about. They will have Sex with whoever they want to. When they want to. If they can make it happen. Replace Sex with: Drugs, Drinking any Vice / Sin depending on the person.

Most people spend all day and night thinking of what Sins they want to commit. Feelings of Guilt never cross their minds. Their sinful plans, how to successfully get away with Sin, are Devious.

They commit Adultery without Remorse. They commit crimes that if they were caught at would put them in jail. The thought of being caught, being exposed, is their only Fear. The desire to Sin out weighs their caution.

A Christian is a Sinner. Many False Teachers Lie and Say that a Christian cannot Sin. The Bible calls them Liars.

Christians Struggle with Sin.

Galatians 5:13 For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.

Legalistic Churches twist this verse. Liberty means Christians are in Control of their own lives. This goes against Calvinism. Against the Lie that God is in Control. No God is not in Control. God gives us LIBERTY to Control our own lives, to make our own decisions.

Christian Liberty

Liberty means if I want to drink coffee it is OK. Many Churches say it is a Sin to consume caffeine. Liberty means I can own a TV. Many Churches say it is a Sin to own a TV. There are numerous other things I could list. The point is Christians can live doing what they feel is Right. It is not Wrong to live according to the conscience God gave you.

Galatians 15:14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

Too many Pastors think LOVE is a 4 letter word. Yes they Mock what they call the False Love Gospel. They are Lost if they do not realize that the Gospel is about Love.

Christians go to Churches where the Love of God is Mocked. Where Love is considered a weakness. Men who are Kind, Loving, Always Happy are called Effeminate in many so called Christian Churches. These False Churches have no Love in them. Many IFB Churches are like this.

People / Churches who do not Love others are not Christian.

15 But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.

There are many other verses like this one. I have discovered that the Worst people in the world are “Christians” I am not saying these people are Saved. I am saying Christian Churches are filled with Fake Christians that Destroy people’s lives and cause Churches to Split, to End.

16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.

This takes time. A person does not get Saved and on day one know how to be a Spiritual Christian. It takes time to grow into a Spiritual Christian. Time in the Bible, on your knees talking with Jesus.

17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.

If you never struggle with Sin than maybe you are not Saved. A Christian should not easily Sin. Christians should have an internal conflict before they indulge in Sin.

18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.

The Law has never Saved anyone. A Saved person has the Spirit of God inside of them. Jesus fulfilled the Law. Freeing man from trying to keep the Law which was an impossible task. Our Salvation Lies in Jesus not in trying to keep the Law.

19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,

20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,

21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

Verses 19-21 do not mean that to Go to Heaven we have to Repent of Sin.

That We must Forsake Sin, Turn from Sin to be Saved. These verses list the Sins of the Flesh. A Lost Person’s Sins are attached to their Flesh. A Lost person will pay for their Sins in Hell. A Saved person’s Sins have been forgiven by Jesus who Paid for their Sins in Full.

A Christian to be part of The Kingdom of God has to earn that right. The Kingdom of God is a real literal Kingdom. Christians cannot live their Lives sold out to Sin, living like the Lost World. Do not twist what I am saying. I am not Saying to be Saved you have to Earn it. I am saying that Heaven has Earned positions that will be given to people who have Earned them. Salvation is 100% the work of Jesus. But you will Earn your place in Heaven by how you live your life on this Earth. Your role in Eternity will be determined by your Christian service.

22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,

23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

24 And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.

25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

26 Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.

Verses 22-26 Christians should have the fruit of the Spirit. Christians should live in the Spirit not in their rotten Flesh. Christians should not Provoke other Christians. Be full of Envy and desire Glory which is Vain.

1st Timothy 6:12 “Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.”

All Christians need to Stand and Fight against Satan and his minions.

Lay hold on eternal Life: You are Saved. Grasp the reality you will live forever with Jesus. Lay hold, embrace Jesus your Saviour. Live for Jesus.

Once a person is Saved they become a target of Satan and powerful wicked spiritual beings.

Ephesians 6:12 “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.”

Satan and his Devils are real. There is a spiritual realm which exists. but we cannot see it, that fights against us. You can feel these Evil spirits though. For example, have you ever physically felt someone else’s Hatred for you.

If you are Saved you can physically feel Evil. I have felt other people’s Hatred of me. Sometimes I feel the Evil spirits that are influencing the person who Hates me. Other times I am feeling the spirit of the person who Hates me plus the Evil spirits.

I had a Devil possessed man in my Church.

I knew he had at least one Devil in him. The Devil in him had spoken directly to me several different times. This Devil would laugh at me. “He is just playing with you. You are pathetic a joke. He Hates You. He Hates Jesus. We Hate you both.”

This is something that cannot be faked. Because you can feel the Devil’s unclean spirit. The physical transformation is Eerie. There is a voice change and a physical change. When you look into the eyes you know you are speaking to a Devil not a human being.

I was surprised once when he came to Church. He was very Happy and smiling at first. He sang the hymns with a smile on his face. Than suddenly the Devil inside him threw the hymnal and the Devil started cursing. It was pushing everyone around it.

Some people said Let’s pray this Devil out of him. Several people laid their hands on him and began to pray. With Great Power they were all Flung backwards. I walked up to them and for a second it was him not the Devil. His eyes pleaded with me and he shrugged his shoulders. The Devil flung swear words at me then they left.

30 years later I talked with him a few times. He told me he had gotten out of Witchcraft and is now going to Church.

Devil Possession is a Bible Truth.

Mark 5:1 And they came over unto the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes.

2 And when he was come out of the ship, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,

3 Who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no man could bind him, no, not with chains:

4 Because that he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been plucked asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: neither could any man tame him.

5 And always, night and day, he was in the mountains, and in the tombs, crying, and cutting himself with stones.

6 But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped him,

7 And cried with a loud voice, and said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God, that thou torment me not.

8 For he said unto him, Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit.

9 And he asked him, What is thy name? And he answered, saying, My name is Legion: for we are many.

10 And he besought him much that he would not send them away out of the country.

11 Now there was there nigh unto the mountains a great herd of swine feeding.

12 And all the devils besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them.

13 And forthwith Jesus gave them leave. And the unclean spirits went out, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea, (they were about two thousand;) and were choked in the sea.

The reason Devil possession Films, TV series are popular is because Devil possession is a Fact.

People will laugh at Devil possession but inside they know it is real. Things that have no Truth to them are usually box office bombs. There are exceptions sure, but most things made have a basis in the Truth.

You might be thinking not Super Hero and Fantasy Films. They are really about the Super Natural World which is REAL. Superman (Charters like him.) is a type of the Anti-Christ. These movies are about Greek gods, legends from history, that have a basis in fact.

Christians Need to Give up their Old Sinful Lives

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;)

Every unsaved person belongs to Satan.

John 8:39 They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham’s children, ye would do the works of Abraham.

40 But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.

41 Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.

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.

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.

53 Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?

54 Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God:

55 Yet ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I know him, and keep his saying. 56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.

A person is Either Saved Or Lost.

John 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 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. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

Christians now that you are Saved you no longer belong to Satan.

You are a Child of the King. You are now in Christ Jesus. Jesus is your Father. You do not have to be Satan’s Slave, a Slave to Sin anymore.

Serving Jesus Faithfully is a daily struggle. The cares of this life can easily overwhelm us. Unexpected circumstances can, make our lives very hard.

Battling against Sin is a second by second Battle.

I hear many “Christians” claim that they do not Sin at all anymore. They say that they have the victory over Sin.

Lordship Salvation teaches that to be Saved a person has to “Turn from Sin.”

“Repent of Sin” This contract means that you have to live a Sinless life. In this False Gospel God makes a deal with you. You can only be Saved if you agree to Forsake Sin all together.

People who are a part of this False Gospel. Say “I never commit a willful Sin. I do not Sin willfully.”

They are Liars that Lie to the whole world and to themselves. They are Lying to God.

James 1:13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:
14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.
15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.
16 Do not err, my beloved brethren.

We all Sin. When we Sin we are following OUR OWN Lustful Desires. This is Willful.

We are Tempted every second. It is not a Sin to be Tempted. It is Sin to indulge in the Temptation.

For example nearly everyday we live we encounter Beautiful people. Realizing other people are attractive is not a Sin. The Sin comes in when we start Lusting after these people. Having impure Sexual thoughts, Desires.

It is NORMAL to Sin. If you claim you do not Sin, that you do not fall into Sin than you are a LIAR.

1 John 1:8 “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.”

James 4:17 “Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.”

Paul possibly the Greatest Christian who ever lived. He struggled with Sin.

Romans 7:7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.
8 But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead.
9 For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.
10 And the commandment, which was ordained to life, I found to be unto death.
11 For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me.
12 Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.
13 Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful.
14 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.

15 For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I.

16 If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good.
17 Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
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.

We can Limit our Sin. If we live according to the Bible.

1 Corinthians 15:33 Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.
34 Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame.

Many people get Saved and try to keep the same friends that they had when they were Lost. You have to have Christian friends. Having Lost friends will always lead to Trouble and Sins.

Socializing with Work Friends will put you into constant Temptations. Understand too they want you to Sin, so they can feel their Sinful Life is OK.

1 Corinthians 10:13 “There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.”

We need to keep our mind on Jesus, on our Salvation.

When we make bad decisions. We find ourselves doing Sinful things. Things that were once very common to us. We go back to our Sinful Life Style. Many Christians completely reject Christianity and they live like the Lost.

Proverbs 14:3 In the mouth of the foolish is a rod of pride: but the lips of the wise shall preserve them.

4 Where no oxen are, the crib is clean: but much increase is by the strength of the ox.

5 A faithful witness will not lie: but a false witness will utter lies.

6 A scorner seeketh wisdom, and findeth it not: but knowledge is easy unto him that understandeth.

7 Go from the presence of a foolish man, when thou perceivest not in him the lips of knowledge.

8 The wisdom of the prudent is to understand his way: but the folly of fools is deceit.

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.

19 The evil bow before the good; and the wicked at the gates of the righteous.

20 The poor is hated even of his own neighbour: but the rich hath many friends.

21 He that despiseth his neighbour sinneth: but he that hath mercy on the poor, happy is he. 22 Do they not err that devise evil? but mercy and truth shall be to them that devise good.

23 In all labour there is profit: but the talk of the lips tendeth only to penury.

24 The crown of the wise is their riches: but the foolishness of fools is folly.

25 A true witness delivereth souls: but a deceitful witness speaketh lies.

26 In the fear of the Lord is strong confidence: and his children shall have a place of refuge.

Jesus is so Kind and Merciful that he will Limit the amount of Temptation that we get.

All of our Sin is not because of Temptation. We can run after Sin. How? Why? Christians sometimes, feel lonely and rejected. We can seek comfort in our old Sins.

I have seen people use 1 Corinthians 10:13 as a CLUB to Beat a Christian with. Do not do that. They SAY you have no excuse for your Sin. “Jesus provides a way out….. So you do not have to Sin.”

Everyone Sins.

We should have compassion on Christians who are struggling with Sin more than we are. It is Wrong to Mock them to Make Examples of them. Wagging our fingers at them.

Galatians 6:1 Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. 2 Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. 3 For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself. 4 But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another. 5 For every man shall bear his own burden. 6 Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things. 7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. 8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. 9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. 10 As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.

Many “Christians” act Holier Than Thou.

They enjoy seeing Christians who are Caught Sinning. They Lecture them, Humiliate them. Act like they are so much Better than them. They carelessly throw out Scriptures to them that they do not understand. Not to be helpful but to MOCK, to BELITTLE them.

1 Corinthians 10:12 Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall. 13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

These Dagger Throwers always forget verse 12. “Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.”

Yes, Jesus provides a way for us to Escape the Temptation. For many different reasons we ignore the Escape and we Sin. WE ALL DO THIS. Let’s not LIE ABOUT OUR OWN SIN.

Sometimes we have Horrible days. I mean the absolutely Worst day. We might Smoke, Drink, have Sex – Fornication with an old flame, run to Sin to comfort us. Sin does provide a Temporary Relief. We Hate going back to our Past Sins. If we are not careful we can fall so hard into Sin we cannot find our way out without help.

Please do not be a Hypocrite that finds Pleasure in other people’s Pain, their Sin. They did not take the Escape Jesus provides. We, are Guilty of this too. Do not be so SMUG. Hypocrites have no problem using Scriptures as a Weapon to Condemn others. Scriptures are intended to be used to Help people not to Cut people who have fallen into Sin.

Romans 13:12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.
13 Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.
14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof

The best way to avoid Sin is to “Put on the Lord Jesus Christ.”

This means always be a Christian. Do not be two faced. By acting one way at Work and a different way at Church. Be one person not a Bipolar Wreck.

Too many Christians have many different faces. Do not be a many faced person. Always be the same.

When you make provision for the flesh, you are putting yourself in a position to Sin.

If you used to be a Drunk. And you know someone who will offer you a Beer, a Drink. If you go over to their home. You should never go over to that person’s home. When you plan on going over to their home. You are going to get that Drink. Well, you just made provision for your flesh. This is just one example, it could be Sex, (Seeing someone you used to have Sex with) Drugs, Pornography, Gossip, thousands of different Sins.

Do not Tempt yourself.

James 4:8 “Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.”

Matthew 15:8 “This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.”

Always be close to Jesus. The further we are from Jesus the closer we are to Sin.

Please Share the Gospel with the Lost. If you have not Please ask Jesus right now to Save you.

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

Did Jesus Hang Out In Bars?

Did Jesus Hang Out IN Bars?

The Pharisees and the Sadducees Continuously Falsely Accused Jesus. The Pharisees Pointed their Fingers at Jesus and Falsely Claimed that he spent his time Socializing with Sinners: Prostitutes, Drunks, etc…

Jesus did Not Socialize with the Public at Large he was an Evangelist, a Prophet, a Teacher, a Preacher. What Jesus did was Travel continuously. While he Traveled Large Crowds constantly followed him. Jesus Taught them, Preached to them and he Healed, the Sick.

Jesus did not Hang Out in Bars with Prostitutes and Drunks.

Jesus was always working, He was busy Ministering to People: Healing, Teaching, Feeding, and Preaching to them. You will Not find a Single Scripture where Jesus is Hanging Out in a Bar, just Hanging Out with People.

Romans 1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;

Recently a very Popular Pastor on Facebook. Wrote a post that Slandered Christians. Who were only Friends with other Christians. He said they were Stuck up Snobs.

He continued on LYING:

**** Note Below. His Lie is a Very Popular Lie. Just because a Lie is Often Repeated Doesn’t Make It True. No Matter How many times the Lie is Told. ****

“Look at Jesus he Hung Out with Everyone. He Hung Out with Drunks and Prostitutes, in Bars. Jesus did not exclude people.”

I told him that he was not being Honest.

Jesus did not Hangout in Bars. Jesus Ministered to Everyone. Ministering is Not remotely the same thing as Hanging Out with people.

Jesus was daily in the Temple teaching.

When he was not in the Temple. He was traveling or preaching to people off of boats and all along his travels.

Jesus did spend some time at his Disciples homes like Lazarus. Jesus Disciples were not current Prostitutes and Drunks. He did not encourage Sin. By Hanging Out with people who were Drinking / Getting Drunk. With Prostitutes looking for their next John.

Jesus was Falsely Accused of Hanging Out in Bars:

The Bible verse used. To say that Jesus Hung Out in Bars. With Drunks and Prostitutes is Matthew 11:19.

Matthew 11:19 “The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified of her children.”

This is Jesus’ speaking. Jesus said: “They Say.”

Which means they were LYING.

This verse is full of Lies about Jesus.

Jesus was being Falsely accused.

It is Evil, of Pastors and others to TWIST THE SCRIPTURES to use this verse to Say that Jesus Hung Out in Bars, With the very worst people. To Lie and say Christians should be friends with people who spend time in Bars Regularly, with the Worst Sort of People. To Say that Christians should Hang Out in Bars like “Jesus did”.

Jesus was always followed by Large crowds of people. He did not need to go into Bars to Preach to People. Jesus did not do this.

This False Pastor’s Unbiblical point was Christians need to Hang Out and be Friends with Every Type of person.

I shared these verses with him.

Ephesians 5:11 “And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.”

The Bible tells us: Not Only, to NOT Fellowship, Spend Time With the Lost. It tells us NOT TO Fellowship with Christians Who are Openly Living Sinful Lives. Christians, for example, who are Drunks / Drug users.

2nd Thessalonians 3:6 “Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of us.”

1st Corinthians 15:33 Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners. 34 Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame.

Counterfeit Christianity:

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

Romans 16:17 “Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.”

Psalms 1:1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

Psalms 26:4 I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with dissemblers.

5 I have hated the congregation of evil doers; and will not sit with the wicked.

The Bibe Says: Do not Hang Out with the Lost:

Proverbs 4:14 Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil men.

15 Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass away.

1st Corinthians 10:20 But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils.

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.

Ephesians 4:22 “That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;”

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.

The Bible is very Clear that Christians are not to be Friends with the World. It is a Lie to say that Jesus Hung Out in Bars with Drunks and Prostitutes.

False Pastors, False Teachers are constantly Twisting the Scriptures. They Water Down Christianity, to Deceive People with their Counterfeit Christianity.

What is called Christianity is not Christianity, it is Satanic. Satan has his own Counterfeit Christianity that 99% of people who call themselves Christians are a part of.

They are Secular; Just like the World. Some are Legalistic, Law Followers.

When I see “Christians.” “Pastors.” Others posting unbiblical “Christian” messages. I always call them out for their Unbiblical posts.

Sometimes they want to argue: “You just do not understand my point.” “You take the bible too literally.” “Just because I have no Scriptures to back up what I am saying. It does not mean I am wrong.” “The Bible may not come out and say what I said. But there are plenty of bible verses that support in essence what I am saying.”

The Bible is not Gray like False Teachers want people to Believe. God is very Clear on what Christianity is. The Bible is Black and White not Gray.

Revelation 3:15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.

16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.

17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:

God Hates Sin, Counterfeit Christianity.

Romans 1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;

19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.

20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.

24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:

25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,

30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

31 Without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:

32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

Please do not be conned by False Teachers who twist the Scriptures.

How to be Saved:

Believe the Gospel Only to Be Saved:

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

Please if you have not Asked Jesus to Save You, Please Ask him Right Now, to Save You. To Be Saved You Must Trust in Jesus Alone to Save You.

Romans 10:10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. 12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. 13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. 14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? 15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things! 16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report? 17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. 18 But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world. 19 But I say, Did not Israel know? First Moses saith, I will provoke you to jealousy by them that are no people, and by a foolish nation I will anger you. 20 But Esaias is very bold, and saith, I was found of them that sought me not; I was made manifest unto them that asked not after me. 21 But to Israel he saith, All day long I have stretched forth my hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying people.

A Person is Saved by Believing the Word of God the Gospel. Not by the False Teachings of False Religions Not by Believing False Churches False Pastors, False Teachers.

Jesus Was Crucified Because He Claimed To Be God.

Jesus Is God. Jesus was Crucified The King Of The Jews. Jesus King of Kings. Jesus Lord of Lords. Jesus The Great I AM.

John 19:19 And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was, Jesus Of Nazareth The King Of The Jews.

20 This title then read many of the Jews: for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written in Hebrew, and Greek, and Latin.

21 Then said the chief priests of the Jews to Pilate, Write not, The King of the Jews; but that he said, I am King of the Jews.

22 Pilate answered, What I have written I have written.

John 18:28 Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas unto the hall of judgment: and it was early; and they themselves went not into the judgment hall, lest they should be defiled; but that they might eat the passover.

29 Pilate then went out unto them, and said, What accusation bring ye against this man?

30 They answered and said unto him, If he were not a malefactor, we would not have delivered him up unto thee.

31 Then said Pilate unto them, Take ye him, and judge him according to your law. The Jews therefore said unto him, It is not lawful for us to put any man to death:

32 That the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled, which he spake, signifying what death he should die.

33 Then Pilate entered into the judgment hall again, and called Jesus, and said unto him, Art thou the King of the Jews?

34 Jesus answered him, Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or did others tell it thee of me?

35 Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thine own nation and the chief priests have delivered thee unto me: what hast thou done?

36 Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.

37 Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.

38 Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, I find in him no fault at all.

39 But ye have a custom, that I should release unto you one at the passover: will ye therefore that I release unto you the King of the Jews?

40 Then cried they all again, saying, Not this man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber.

Jesus is God. The King of the Jews. Jesus is King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

1 Timothy 6:13 I give thee charge in the sight of God, who quickeneth all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession;

14 That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:

15 Which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;

16 Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen.

Revelation 19:16 “And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, King Of Kings, And Lord Of Lords.”

Did Jesus Say He Was God?

ANSWER: Yes

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

2 The same was in the beginning with God.

3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

The Book of John. Declares Jesus Deity. More than any other book in the Bible. Cults Hate the Book of John. Because it is the one book in the Bible. Where Jesus declares himself God numerous times. He tells the world to be Saved Believe on me.

Beware “Christian” Cults are not always easy to spot.

They use titles such as “Fundamental Independent AV 1611 KJV Bible Baptist Church.” You can never judge a book by its cover. You cannot assume anything from a Church name. Dive deep to discover what they really Believe. If they say the Book of John is part of the Law. That it was not written for the Church. Than you know that Church is a Cult.

Cults make definite statements that are Lies. One of their Lies is. Jesus never said he was God. “Jesus is just the son of God… not God himself.” Billions of people are too lazy to read the Bible for themselves. They believe the Lies of Cults. The Title Son of God = Jesus is God. One God in 3 Persons. God The Father. God the Son. And God The Holy Spirit / Holy Ghost.

The gospel of John, presents Jesus Christ in His deity. Jesus calls himself “I AM.” Over and over again in the book of John.

I AM is the name of God.

Exodus 3:14 “And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.”

Jesus claimed that He is the ‘I Am’, which is the very name of God!

John 4:25 The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things.

26 Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he.

John 10:7 Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.

8 All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.

9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.

10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.

John 11:25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:

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

27 She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.

John 14:1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.

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

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

4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.

5 Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?

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

7 If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.

8 Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us.

9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?

10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.

11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works’ sake.

12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.

13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.

John 13:18 I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen: but that the scripture may be fulfilled, He that eateth bread with me hath lifted up his heel against me.

19 Now I tell you before it come, that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe that I am he.

20 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.

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

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

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

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

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

John 18:4 Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said unto them, Whom seek ye?

5 They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I am he. And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them.

6 As soon then as he had said unto them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground.

7 Then asked he them again, Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth.

8 Jesus answered, I have told you that I am he: if therefore ye seek me, let these go their way:

9 That the saying might be fulfilled, which he spake, Of them which thou gavest me have I lost none.

When the Jewish religious leaders heard Jesus say this. They tried to kill Him. By applying the very name of God to Himself. Jesus Christ declared that He is God. To the Jews this was the highest form of Blasphemy.

Jesus claimed equality with the God the Father. “Jesus said to them:

John 8:55 Yet ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I know him, and keep his saying.

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

57 Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?

58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.

59 Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.

John 5:17 But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.

18 Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.

The Jewish religious leaders rejected Jesus claim that He was God. Jesus was Crucified for Claiming to be God.

Mark 14:60 And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, saying, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?

61 But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and said unto him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?

62 And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.

63 Then the high priest rent his clothes, and saith, What need we any further witnesses?

64 Ye have heard the blasphemy: what think ye? And they all condemned him to be guilty of death.

The High Priest had Jesus crucified because Jesus claimed to be God

“The Christ the Son of God.” The Christ: The word “Christ.” Comes from christos. A Greek word meaning “Anointed.” It is the equivalent of the word Mashiach, or Messiah, in Hebrew. So, to be the Christ, or Messiah, is to be “The Anointed one of God.”

The Messiah. The Christ. Is who Jesus proclaimed himself to be. He performed all of his Miracles. Healing the Sick. Raising the Dead. To prove he was God.

John the Baptist wanted confirmation that Jesus was the promised Messiah.

This is how Jesus answered him:

Luke 7:19 And John calling unto him two of his disciples sent them to Jesus, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another?

20 When the men were come unto him, they said, John Baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another?

21 And in that same hour he cured many of their infirmities and plagues, and of evil spirits; and unto many that were blind he gave sight.

22 Then Jesus answering said unto them, Go your way, and tell John what things ye have seen and heard; how that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor the gospel is preached.

23 And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.

Jesus proclaimed himself to be God by all the Miracles he did, that was his answer to John the Baptist.

John 7:28 Then cried Jesus in the temple as he taught, saying, Ye both know me, and ye know whence I am: and I am not come of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye know not.

29 But I know him: for I am from him, and he hath sent me.

John 8:17 “It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true.”

18 I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me.

19 Then said they unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also.

20 These words spake Jesus in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man laid hands on him; for his hour was not yet come.

21 Then said Jesus again unto them, I go my way, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sins: whither I go, ye cannot come.

22 Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself? because he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come.

23 And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.

John 8:58 “Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.”

John 10:30 “I and my Father are one.”

John 10:36 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,

John 14:7 If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.
8 Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us.
9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou [then], Shew us the Father?
10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.

11 Believe me that I [am] in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works’ sake.

John 14:17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.

19 Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.

20 At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.

21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.

22 Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?

23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.

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.
4 I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.
5 And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.

John 17:20 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;
21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, [art] in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.

The Bible declares Jesus is God:

Matthew 1:23 “Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.”

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

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

1st John 5:5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?

6 This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth.

7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.

8 And there are three that bear witness in earth, the spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.

9 If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son.

10 He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son.

11 And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.

12 He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.

13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.

Colossians 1:14 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:

2nd Corinthians 4:3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:

4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

5 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus’ sake.

6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

Philippians 2:5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:

7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:

8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:

10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;

11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

1st John 1:9. Repent of Sin?

1st John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

John was speaking to a Church filled with unbelievers in 1st John.

John exposes Gnosticism a Heretical Counterfeit Christianity.

Gnosticism was a False Teaching going around which Denied the Deity of Jesus Christ. They Denied Jesus was God. They Denied the Gospel. Jesus suffered in the flesh for mankind. Jesus paid for the Sins of the World Died was Buried and He Rose again on the 3rd day. They Denied the Existence of Sin.

Many variations in beliefs existed among the different Gnostic sects.

Dualism: Gnostics believed that the world was divided into the physical and spiritual realms. The created, material world (matter) is evil. Is in opposition to the world of the spirit. Only the spirit is good. Adherents of Gnosticism often constructed an evil, lesser god. And beings of the Old Testament to explain the creation of the world. They considered Jesus Christ a lessor god.

God: Gnostic writings often describe God as incomprehensible and unknowable. This idea conflicts with Christianity’s concept of a personal God who desires a relationship with human beings. Gnostics also separate the inferior god of creation from the superior god of redemption.

Salvation: Gnosticism claims hidden knowledge as the basis for Salvation. Adherents believe that Secret Revelation frees the “divine spark” within humans. Allowing the human soul to return to the divine realm of light in which it belongs. Gnostics, thus, divided Christians into two categories. With one group being Carnal (Inferior) and the other being Spiritual (Superior).

Only the Superior, Divinely Enlightened persons could comprehend the Secret Teachings and obtain True Salvation. This is very similar to Calvinism’s denial that Man has a Free Will. In both Religions mankind is incapable of the Free Will to Accept Jesus. Or to Deny Jesus as their Savior.

Christianity Teaches:

Salvation is available to everyone. Not just A Special Selected Few. Salvation comes from Grace through Faith in Jesus Christ Alone. Not from human effort, Works. The only source of Truth is the Bible.

Ephesians 2:8 “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.”

Gnosticism was infiltrating the early church.

The church John was writing to had Gnostic believers in the church. Who were actively trying to deceive people.

1st John 2:18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.

19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.

20 But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things.

21 I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth.

22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.

23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.

24 Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father.

25 And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life.

26 These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you.

27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.

28 And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.

29 If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him.

1st John Refutes the False Teaching that Sin does not Exist.

In 1st John 1:5-10, John is addressing people who don’t believe in the existence of sin.

1st John 1:5 This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. 6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: 7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. 8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

Two key verses that gives context to 1st John 1:9

1st John 1:8 “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.” 1:10 “If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us.”

1st John 1:9 is not teaching Repent of Sin to be Saved, to Stay Saved. It is teaching that people who Deny they are Sinners are Lost. To Confess Sin is just Admitting that you are in fact a Sinner.

Confess / Confessing, Meaning

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

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

(vs. 9) Confessing with the mouth the Lord Jesus is to say: “Yes I Stand with Jesus. I Believe in Jesus.” Confess / Confession means to Acknowledge something. To Admit / Acknowledge that you are a Sinner. To Confess, Acknowledge that you are a Believer in Jesus. A public Confession is not mentioned, is not Required. These Confessions are to Jesus. They are a Prayer, a Conversation between you and Jesus.

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

(vs. 10) You have to Ask Jesus to Save you. Again a Confession is a simple Acknowledgment. YOU MUST ACKNOWLEDGE TO JESUS THAT YOU BELIEVE IN HIM AS YOUR SAVIOR, to be SAVE.

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

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

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

(vs. 13) To Call on the name of the Lord is a Prayer to Jesus. The only way to talk with Jesus is by Praying to Jesus.

Review

1st John was written to a Church filled with Lost Gnostic’s. Who were corrupting the Church with False Teachings: Jesus is not God. Sin Does Not Exist, You Cannot Sin. The Gospel is a Lie.

A person who does believe they Sin, that deny the existence of Sin Cannot be Saved. This False Belief undermines the Gospel by removing a need for a Savior. If there is No Sin then there is no need for a Savior.

Why would you call upon a Savior that you don’t believe you need?

If you don’t believe in Sin then you don’t believe you need the Blood of Jesus to Cleanse you from Sin. You do not need his Death, Burial and Resurrection to Save you.

This is the description of those who are walking in the Darkness of a Lie. If they were to come into the light by Confessing / Acknowledging their Sin to Jesus. Their Belief in Him, in the Gospel to Save them. Then Jesus would Save them. His Blood would Cleanse them of their Sin.

1st John 1:7 “But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.”

1st John 1:9 “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”

Jesus cleansed us from “All” Sin.

Keeping the Law Saved no one. The Law showed mankind that they were Sinners. It showed that Sin caused Death. That the Forgiveness of Sin would require a one time perfect Blood Sacrifice which the Scripture foretold. The Scriptures taught the Messiah would come to Save them from their Sins, Isaiah 53.

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.

Jesus Christ’s One Sacrifice was Enough to Completely Remove All Your Sins for All of Time.

If you Believe in Jesus: Acknowledge Him As Your Savior / Confess You ARE A SINNER to Jesus in Prayer, Asking Jesus to Save you. Jesus will immediately Save you.

1 John 1:7 – 9 are clear references to someone who is Lost. That if they would Acknowledge their Sin and their Need for Jesus as their Savior. God who is Faithful would then Forgive them. And Cleanse them of All of their Sins. Forgiven for all time!

Jesus is our Advocate. 1st John 2:1-2 says: 1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: 2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.

That, when you do Sin you have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the Righteous.

An Advocate is someone who speaks on your behalf and pleads your innocence. Jesus Christ is the perfect one to do this for us because in Him we have become perfect. Jesus Blood has removed All our Sin for all time.

Therefore No Sin can ever be counted against us. We have a new legal status in Christ that says “Not Guilty”, “Not Condemned.” Jesus is our Advocate our Defense that pleads our legal status, Not Guilty.

So, 1st John 1:9 Simply means: In order for a person to call on Jesus Christ as their Savior to be Born Again they must first Acknowledge that they are a Sinner that needs Jesus as their Savior. Once they do that then He is faithful to forgive them and cleanse them of all unrighteousness.

If you read the entire Book of 1st John. You will understand what 1st John 1:9 is saying.

1st John makes verse 1:9 clear. It is Abundantly clear that it is not saying to a Believer that they have to be continually Forgiven and Cleansed of their Sins Daily.

Since this completely undermines what the Book of 1st John is saying. It tears out the very heart of the Gospel. The One Time Sacrifice of Jesus Christ for All Sin. It is a Salvation verse to unbelievers who do not Believe in Sin and therefore do not cry out to Jesus to be their Savior to Forgive and Cleanse them of All Sin.

Explaining Lordship Salvation.

A Perversion of the Gospel Lordship Salvation:

2nd Corinthians 11:13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. 14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. 15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

Lordship Salvation is an unscriptural Teaching regarding the doctrine of Salvation and is Confusing. Those who teach it claim that one must make Jesus Lord of their life in order to be Saved.

They use such expressions as, “You cannot Receive Jesus as Savior without Receiving Him as Lord,” or, “If Jesus Christ is not the Lord of your life, then you are not saved.” “If Jesus is not Lord of All than he is not Lord at all.

Colossians 2:8 “Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.”

Beware of man-made Religions. Beware of False plans of Salvation. False Gospel’s.

Galatians 1:11 Paul, an apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead;) 2 And all the brethren which are with me, unto the churches of Galatia: 3 Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, 4 Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father: 5 To whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. 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 teaches Salvation by Grace through Faith, Alone.

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.

Those who teach Lordship salvation say: It is not enough to trust Jesus Christ Alone to Save You. You Must also make Him Lord of your life in order to be Saved. This kind of teaching frustrates the grace of God and is called in the Bible “Another Gospel.”

Another Gospel Which Is Not Another In verse 6, “I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into grace of Christ unto another gospel.”

Paul contrasts the Gospel of the grace of God with “Another Gospel.” “Another-Different from the one we preach.”

To paraphrase the verse, “I marvel that you are so soon removed from him who called you unto the grace of Christ unto a Different Gospel which is not like the one we preach.”

“There be some that trouble you” (vs. 7). The Preaching of Another Gospel Troubles people. He also calls it: A Perversion of the Gospel of the Grace of God. Then: A Very Strong Warning in verse 8: “But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached to you, let him be accursed [or “Let Him be Damned”].

Emphasized Again in verse 9: “As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach another gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed [or “Let Him be Damned”].

“I marvel; (I am Startled, I Can’t Believe) that you are so soon removed from the Gospel of the grace of Christ unto another gospel.”

The Gospel of the Grace of Jesus Christ is one thing. Another Gospel would be Anything that Contradicts the Teaching of Salvation by Grace Through Faith Alone in Jesus Christ’s Death, Burial and Resurrection for the Salvation of our Souls.

If Any Person Preaches that a person is Saved by the Gospel, then adds Something Else to The Gospel. What they are Actually Saying Is: Jesus Sacrifice His Atonement IS NOT ENOUGH. YES THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE SAYING.

IF JESUS WAS ENOUGH THAN WHY DO THEY TELL YOU:

You Must Repent of Your Sins! You Must Give Your Life to Jesus! You Must Forsake Your Sins! You Must Surrender Your Life to Jesus! You Must Make Jesus The Lord of Your Life! All of this is adding to Salvation. Saying Jesus is not Enough to Save you.

They are Adding Man’s Good Works to Salvation. This False Teaching Contradicts the Gospel of the Grace of God. They are saying to be Saved you have to Stop Sinning. You must make a contract with God to agree to Stop Sinning to be Saved. This is exactly what they are Saying.

I could not put it any better than Romans 11:6, “And if by grace, then it is no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then it is no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.”

Salvation cannot be by Grace and Works. It has to be Either Grace or Works. Most people have a poor concept of Grace.

Grace is the Unmerited, Undeserved Favor of God toward Hell-Deserving Sinners.

There is so much unneeded Confusion over the Doctrine of Salvation.

If you ask the next ten people you see, “How does a person get to Heaven?” you might get ten different answers. And it is very likely that none would be correct.

In the final analysis, there are only two plans of salvation that are taught by all religions. One is that Man Saves Himself / Herself. The Other is that Jesus Saves Men / Women.

Lordship salvationist say that Man saves Himself / Herself by Reforming. By cleaning up His / Her Life before Salvation is possible. In order to Merit Salvation; people must agree, promise to keep the Ten Commandments before Salvation.

Said another You Must Agree to be Obedient, to not wilfully Sin. The problem is that every Sin we commit is will full. We Sin because we want to Sin. We do not accidentally Sin. We Sin because we WANT TO SIN.

James 1:12 Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him. vs 12) To Endure Temptation means a conscience decision. A person decides not to Sin.

13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: vs 13) This destroys the Calvinist Teaching that God is in Control. God does not cause people to Sin. God does not Control us.

14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. vs14) See!!! This is CLEAR. WHEN WE SIN IT IS OUR OWN DECISION! OUR OWN LUST!

15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. 16 Do not err, my beloved brethren.

We Sin because we Lust, Desire to Sin. ALL SIN IS A WILFULL ACT.

1st John 1: “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.”

Lordship Salvationist claim they do not Sin. That they are Sinless since their Salvation. God calls them Liars.

Those who teach Lordship salvation claim that Man Saves Himself / Herself by making Jesus The Lord of their life.

Romans 1:16 says, “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Jesus Christ: for it [the Gospel] is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that behaves…”? No, “…to every one that believeth.”

The only thing you can do with the Gospel is Accept it – Believe it. Or to Reject it. Not to Believe it.

The Gospel is the Good News of how Jesus Christ came to this earth. How He Died on a Cross in our place for our Sins. How he was Buried and Rose again the third day. That is the Gospel.

Believing The Gospel Saves us from Hell.

Jesus Loves Sinners. He Died in the Sinner’s place to completely Pay the Sinner’s Sin Debt. He was Buried and after three days God raised Him from the Dead to show His satisfaction with the payment.

An old preacher spoke to a large crowd of young preachers. Before leaving the platform, one young pastor said to him, “Sir, before you leave, give us a word of advice.” The old preacher thought for a moment, then said, “My preacher brethren, make it plain to men how they are to saved.” Far too many preachers are muddying the Gospel. The waters of the grace of God must be kept crystal clear. It disturbs me when preachers scramble the grace of God with works.

“Though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you…LET HIM BE DAMNED!”

Something about us religious humans make’s us want to add to the Gospel. We want to help God with our Salvation. If we can’t help Him Save us, we want to help Keep Ourselves Saved.

Adam and Eve gathered fig leaves and sewed them together to make aprons to Cover Their Nakedness, Their Sin. They Knew they had Sinned.

They were happy and well pleased with their fig-leaf religion until God came. Then they were embarrassed with their fig-leaf covering and ran and hid themselves.

God called them unto Himself. Killed an Innocent animal (a picture of the substitutionary death of Jesus), took the skin from the animal and made coats for Adam and Eve.

He didn’t let them keep one single fig leaf of their own making.

Salvation is of the Lord.

You may be satisfied to stand before men with your False Religion. But are you going to be satisfied when you stand before Jesus?

Remember, Jesus Died on the Cross. Loaded down with your Sins. So He could Save you from the Penalty of your Sin, which is Hell! Jesus Saves from Hell.

There is no promise in the Bible to those who partially believe on Jesus Christ; one must Trust in Him Alone and nothing else.

Those who teach Lordship salvation say, “If you do not give over the Control of your Life to Jesus Christ at the moment of Salvation, you are not Saved.”

Must There Be a Commitment to Christ as the Lord of One’s Life in Order to Be Saved?

Those who teach Lordship salvation say that you cannot divorce His Saviourhood from His Lordship. You can’t Accept Him as Saviour without accepting Him as the Lord of your Life. Unless Jesus Christ is Lord of your Life, you are not Saved.

When you question these same people, you discover that Jesus is not Lord of their lives. I asked one who taught Lordship salvation, “Has Jesus been Lord of your life since the day you trusted Him as your Saviour? Has there ever been a time since you were saved when Jesus has not been the absolute Lord of your life?”

He hesitated a moment, then said, “Well, He has always been Lord, but there have been times when I didn’t obey Him.”

When we don’t obey Him, He is not Lord or Boss. When we are in control, Jesus cannot be in control.

In Luke 6:46 Jesus said, “And why ye call me Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?” It is inconsistent to call Him “Lord, Lord,” and not do what He says.

When this man I mentioned realized that Jesus had not been Lord of his life, he rephrased his statement: “Well, I am not saying that you must absolutely make Him Lord of your life in order to be saved, but there must be a willingness to be controlled by the Lord at the time of salvation in order to be saved.”

If there must be a willingness for Jesus to have Absolute Control over one’s Life in order to be Saved, what happens when we disobey and Sin?

If it is Salvation by Grace through Faith, as the Scriptures declare, then it is not Salvation by Grace through Faith Plus Surrender, or Plus Anything Else.

It is Salvation by Grace through Faith. PERIOD!

Surrendering your Life to Jesus is NOT a requirement for Salvation. It is Works. An Ugly, Dirty, Wicked Thing that frustrates the Wondrous Grace of God!

Bible Examples of Uncommitted Believers

King David is an example of one who had definite lapses in his Surrender in his Commitment to God. David’s life was full of major Sin. He committed Adultery with Bathsheba.

David was the King at the time. He sent Uriah, Bathsheba’s husband, into battle and had him Killed. This is not acceptable for Lordship Salvation Theology. This is Will Full Sin. This is not Obeying God.

David’s life was not fully Committed to God when he Sinned: Adultery and Murder! So, in King David’s committed life to God, he definitely had lapses. If Total Surrender to Jesus Christ was a Prerequisite for Salvation, then? David God’s Anointed, was not Saved? Lost his Salvation until he Totally Surrendered again? No he didn’t Lose it! The Bible doesn’t teach we can Lose our Salvation.

According to Psalm 51:12, David Lost the Joy of his Salvation. He did not Lose his Salvation.

Psalm 51:12 “Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.”

Noah is another example of one Saved by the Grace of God who had Will Full Sin in his Life.

After the Ark landed, Noah got Drunk. In a Drunken Stupor he laid Naked before his sons. Which is forbidden. If Noah had Surrendered and Committed his Life to the Lordship of Jesus Christ when he was Saved, he certainly had a lapses.

You cannot say Jesus Christ was Controlling Noah’s life when he got Drunk and Naked! Noah was Controlling his own Life. You can’t Blame his Immoral Conduct his Sins on the Lord.

Scriptures That Refute Lordship Salvation.

1st Corinthians 12:3 says, “…no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.” Now keep in mind that one does not have the presence of the Holy Spirit in their life until after they are Saved.

John 3:6 says Believers are “born of the Spirit.” They are sealed by the Spirit (Ephesians 4:30). You cannot call Jesus Lord without the Holy Ghost. If you must call Jesus Lord to get Saved. Why does the Bible Say that Only a Saved person can call Jesus Lord.

Lordship Salvationist twist the Scriptures. Making Jesus the Lord of your Life is not part of Salvation.

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

John 1:12 “But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name.”

Everyone who has trusted Jesus has received Him as their Saviour. Has become a son of God. Is therefore a brother to all others who have trusted Jesus as their Saviour.

The yielding of one’s life or making Jesus Lord of one’s life is not a requirement for salvation. That is Lordship salvation A Perversion of the Gospel.

Acts 16:31 “And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.”

This verse does not say: “Make Jesus the Lord of Your Life to be Saved.” Lordship Salvationist Lie and twist the scriptures. It also does not say: “Obey the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved.”

Our Faith, our Trust, our Dependence must be in the Lord Jesus Christ.

We cannot trust our Good Works. Our Good Life. Surrendering our Lives to Jesus. Our Baptism. Our Church’s Ordinances or anything else. We must Trust Jesus Christ and Him Alone for salvation.

Jesus plainly said, “I am THE way, THE truth, and THE life: no man cometh unto the father, but by me” (John 14:6).

When the Bible says in Acts 16:31, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved,” it doesn’t mean you have to make Him Lord of your life. It simply means you must Trust the Lord Jesus Christ ONLY for your Salvation.

Verse after verse in the Bible clearly says that salvation is simply trusting in Jesus Christ.

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

The person who is trusting in anything other than Jesus Christ ONLY is not Saved. That is The Plain Teaching of the Bible.

The person who claims they are trusting in Jesus Christ plus his ability to yield to the Lordship of Christ, is not fully trusting in Jesus. He is trusting in his own ability not in Jesus Alone. There is no promise to those who trust Jesus Christ plus something else. No matter how good the other thing may seem to be.

When we get to Heaven, we are going to sing:

Revelation 5:9 “And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;”

We are not going to sing: ” We are worthy for we have committed and surrendered to the Lordship of Christ.”

When you teach Salvation by Grace through Faith ALONE. That a person is Saved by Simply trusting in Jesus Christ ONLY. Lordship Salvationist will call that “Easy Believism.”

Easy Believism is not in the Bible. It is a man-made expression. It is a slur suggesting Salvation is difficult.

The Bible says Salvation is Simple.

2 Corinthians 11:1 Would to God ye could bear with me a little in my folly: and indeed bear with me. 2 For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ. 3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. 4 For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.

Salvation through Jesus ONLY IS WHAT JESUS taught. It is Simple. Jesus Warned against False Teachers who would corrupt the Gospel. Who would teach Another Gospel.

It is not easy to get someone to trust Jesus Christ, Him alone, and nothing else for salvation. As matter of fact, that may be the hardest thing in the world to do. Because of all the False Teachers in the world.

The fact that most Church Denominations / Religions teach Works. Ordinances, Sacraments, Baptism or something else for Salvation. Makes it difficult to get a person to Simply Trust in Jesus Christ as Saviour.

The Bible word “Believe” means to depend upon, to rely upon, to trust in. False Teachers Argue using James 2:19, “…the devils also believe, and tremble.”

The Absolute Truth is Jesus did not Die for the Spirit World. For Angels, for Devils. Jesus only Died and offered the free Gift of Salvation to mankind.

Also theses Devils Do Not Trust Jesus Christ as Saviour; they simply admit to His existence. It is one thing to believe an airplane can fly; it is quite another to trust your physical life to the pilot and plane to take you across the nation. To get into the airplane and fly in it.

Those who teach Lordship Salvation say:

“He’s always Lord.” “Lord” comes from the Hebrew word Adonai, meaning “Master.” It also comes from the word Jehovah, the personal name of God.

There are several translations of the word Lord. Jesus is Lord of All. He is everybody’s Lord. He is the tadpole’s Lord, the bumblebee’s Lord, the bullfrog’s Lord, the rattlesnake’s Lord… But that doesn’t mean they are Saved. You cannot make Jesus you Lord. He already is your Lord.

Jesus is the Lord the Master of the whole universe. He can do what He wants to do, when He wants to do it!

Philippians 2:10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; 11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Does this mean that everyone will be Saved, since the day will come when every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus is Lord? Of course not.

Jesus is Lord over many things about every individual. The color of my eyes, my height, my parents, etc. The Lord determined who my parents would be. He determined my height, my weight. The size of my ears, nose, the texture and the color of my skin. But one important area of my life where Jesus Gives Me Control is My Will.

Jesus made us free moral agents. We were created with the Free Will to choose. To make choices. He wants us to yield to Him because we want to do so. If we are forced we can never Love Jesus and Serve him because we want to.

The False Teaching Lordship Salvation Confuses people

I am for people trusting Jesus Christ as Saviour who have not already done so, but I am against any teaching that confuses people.

There is no difference between being Saved and “Really Saved.” There is no such thing as degrees in Salvation. No one is More Saved than the other.

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

Nothing can be Plainer: those who are trusting Jesus Christ Are Saved.

They have Everlasting Life. And those who are not trusting Him Are Not Saved, the Wrath of God abideth on them.

There is no such thing as being dead, deader, and deadest. One is either dead or alive, saved or lost, guilty or justified, believing or not believing there is no in-between.

The condemned criminal is the one who has been arrested, tried, found guilty, and sentenced. The Bible says the man who is trusting Jesus Christ is not under the sentence; he is not condemned.

John 3:18 “He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.”

Everyone who is not trusting Jesus Christ is condemned. Why? Because they have “not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.”

Why do “Christians” supposedly get “really saved” under the preaching of Lordship salvation? Because they believe in the preacher.

If I believed that one must make Jesus Lord of their life in order to be Saved. Then I would go forward every time I heard a sermon on Salvation. And get Saved over and over and over again. Because there have been times when I have been a disobedient child. Times when I have yielded to my old carnal nature.

The problem is, those who go forward and supposedly really get saved will have the same problem again later because they are not going to live a perfect life. There will be times when they will yield to the flesh; then when they hear a preacher say, “Unless you make Jesus Lord of your life, you are not Saved,” they will look back and see that Jesus has not been Lord of their lives and reason that if the preacher is correct, then they must not have been Saved.

So they will go forward again to trust Christ as Saviour, and make Him Lord of their lives so they can really be saved. Some people will do this dozens of times.

Lordship Salvation confuses people. It makes them doubt their Salvation. Well, they should doubt their Salvation because they are not Saved if they Believe Lordship Salvationist Repent of Sin False Gospel. Their Works based Salvation.

Our Internal Struggle. The Flesh Versus The Spirit.

A Christian is a Sinner. Many False Teachers Lie and Say that a Christian cannot Sin. The Bible calls them Liars.

Christian Liberty

People / Churches who do not Love others are not Christian.

If you never struggle with Sin than maybe you are not Saved. A Christian should not easily Sin. Christians should have an internal conflict before they indulge in Sin.

Verses 19-21 do not mean that to Go to Heaven we have to Repent of Sin.

22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,

45 And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.

Christians now that you are Saved you no longer belong to Satan.

Battling against Sin is a second by second Battle.

Lordship Salvation teaches that to be Saved a person has to “Turn from Sin.”

We all Sin. When we Sin we are following OUR OWN Lustful Desires. This is Willful.

Paul possibly the Greatest Christian who ever lived. He struggled with Sin.

15 For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I.

We can Limit our Sin. If we live according to the Bible.

We need to keep our mind on Jesus, on our Salvation.

Everyone Sins.

Many “Christians” act Holier Than Thou.

These Dagger Throwers always forget verse 12. “Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.”
