Trivializing the Finished Work of Jesus.

When people claim that God is judging people and nations because of their sin...THEY ARE TRIVIALIZING the finished work of Jesus on the cross.

 Did Jesus finish the reason for His going to the cross? If He didn't He was telling a lie when He said "It is finished". If He did finish His work, people who add man's work to His finished work in order to gain or maintain salvation are actually calling Jesus is a fraud and a liar!

 If God is judging sin today by sending calamity and disaster on people and nations because of their sin, then that means Jesus didn't finish His work in dealing with the sin problem once and for all. 

 Jesus says, “I will never again remember their sins and lawless deeds.” And when sins have been forgiven, there is no need to offer any more sacrifices. (Hebrews 10:12-18).

 Either Jesus paid it all, or He didn’t pay it all. If He didn’t then we might as well hang up our hats and whistle dixie! In that case the whole Gospel is a farce and there is no good news of glad tidings with great joy. Were that true we are all scammed and damned.

 People who teach that the Gospel is a grace/plus deal say that God is Love, also believe that "God so loved the world that He sent His Son, the express image of Love (God) to save the world." Yet they also teach that He doesn't save all the world, in fact they think God burns most of His creation  in hell fire forever and ever....but, true Love does no harm and the scriptures teach that "LOVE NEVER FAILS?"

 Yet, people have the audacity to tell people that LOVE (God) fails to save the people of the world through Jesus like He said would happen, and that people will have to pay for their sinning by spending eternity in hell's flames!

 Also consider this...Jesus is the Living Word of God, according to the scriptures. God says that He watches over His Word to perform it. Did God not promise that whatever He sent His Word to do would not return to Him void but would accomplish just what He sent it to do? Is not Jesus, the Living Word of God, sent by His Loving Father God to be the Savior of the people of the world?

 Yet, believing like you do indicates that LOVE (God) fails, and that God does NOT keep His Word.

 No wonder people are not enthused to be infused with such a God! Such teaching is against the character of our LOVING Father God.

 Sadly, for to many believers, following Jesus is regulated by following man-inspired-interpretations of a book that is reduced to a rule-book of do's and don'ts to-do or not-to-do. 

 The bible was never meant to be...a to-do or not-to-do religious-rule-book...a denomination-making-book...a denomination-naming-book...a denomination-doctrine-making-book...a-money-extorting-book...the believer's-supreme-authority-book...the Living-Word-book...a Sunday-go-meeting-book...a preacher-sermon-gathering-book...a religious-elitist-quoting-book...a fear-mongering-book...a judging-of-people-book...a sinner-condemning book...a hell-fire-torture-chamber-people-burning-book.

 The bible is meant to be God's love-letter-to-man-book...a to-Jesus-pointing-book...and the good-news-book of Jesus the Living-Word-of-God...our good-news Savior, saving mankind because the GOSPEL is the GOOD-NEWS of our Loving Father God reconciling humanity unto Himself!

DO NOT FORSAKE THE ASSEMBLING OF YOURSELVES TOGETHER! by David Yeubanks

“Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together" (Hebrews 10:25), is a common verse cited by Christians who believe that if you're not attending weekly meetings or plugged in a church denomination that you are somehow out of sync with Scripture and, for all practical purposes, "backsliding". Some refer to the out of church crowd as rebels, or the walking wounded and this verse is often given as the prescription. But is "attending church" really what the author of Hebrews had in mind here? YES THE BIBLE SAY’S NOT TO FORSAKE THE ASSEMBLING TOGETHER? NOTICE IT DOES NOT SAY DO NOT FORSAKE THE "ASSEMBLY" OR CHURCH BUILDING. First of all, it is essential that we understand the meaning of the word "church" as it is used in the Bible. These comments, while being historically and biblically sound, are not meant to suggest that Christians should not meet together, share fellowship, pray or preach the Word of God. If that is the conclusion

A Bloggers Take on "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" and "Hell".

HAPPY DADS AND THE HORRORS OF HELL by Jeff Turner Jonathan Edwards once said the following words: “Reprobate infants are vipers of vengeance, which Jehovah will hold over hell, in the tongs of his wrath, till they turn and spit venom in his face!” Elsewhere, Edwards asked the question: “Can the believing father in Heaven be happy with his unbelieving children in Hell?” Now, a bit of clarification: Edwards is not referring to God when he speaks of the “believing father in Heaven”. Rather, he is speaking an earthly father who enters Heaven, while His children are sentenced to an eternity in Hell. One would assume that Edwards’ answer to this question would be something akin to, “Nay! And a thousand times nay!”. Unfortunately, his answer was as follows: “…it [the sight of his children in Hell] will increase rather than diminish his bliss.” To be honest with you, I’m not sure if I’ve ever read more demonic, and putrid words in all of my life. I have a level of respec

The Abusive Tool of Fear-Mongering.

Image
  Fear mongering is an abusive tool used by religion which cripples and limits one's spiritual growth to mature to the full stature of Christ. The fear mongering propaganda that is used as a means to get people saved speaks volumes about the quality of love used to try and scare people to become Christ followers. The scriptures declare that is is the “goodness of God that leads to repentance.” Another characteristic of  fear mongering believers is that they believe that natural disasters are God’s doing and are warnings or punishment for the sin of sinning people. Their sin consciousnesses has blurred their God consciousnesses to where they see God as the big bad wolf waiting to pounce on somebody for sinning. Natural disasters have happened at different times throughout history. Theses events have been used by money hungry fear-mongers to write books of impending doom, passed of as the gospel by using out-of-context scripture verses to validate the acceptance and sale of t
