(vid & text) Gaza Made Simple For Christians by Ted Pike (2009) — Real history & God’s CONDITIONAL terms still apply to Israel

Video Script

Claims and counterclaims surround the recent crisis in Gaza. Yet, we can’t understand the right or wrong of events in the troubled Mideast without knowing God’s spiritual law about Palestine. This law was repeatedly set forth over 3000 years ago.

If you are a Christian, you must take the Bible very seriously — as the written word of God. Jesus said, “Heaven and earth shall pass away, but My Word shall not pass away.” (Mark 13:31) This means the eternal truths laid down thousands of years ago in Holy Scripture remain true.

Yet, many evangelical Christians say God’s law no longer applies to the modern state of Israel. What law am I talking about? In the Old Testament, God repeatedly instructed His people, the Israelites, that the land of Canaan was to be holy. It could only be occupied by a holy, obedient people. When they rebelled, God allowed them to be driven out. They could only reenter in repentance. [1] God says that if Israel rebels, “The Lord will scatter you among the nations”(Deut. 4:27). But if they repent, “The Lord your God will restore you from captivity” (Deut. 30:3).

Ted Pike: Does Israel Own the Land? — Yes! God promised the land of Israel to Abraham and his descendants forever (Gen. 12:7). Yet God said Jews can only occupy it in obedience (Lev. 26, Deut. 4, 6, 28 …)

DOES ISRAEL OWN THE LAND?

By Rev. Ted Pike

Yes! God promised the land of Israel to Abraham and his descendants forever (Gen. 12:7).

Yet God said Jews can only occupy it in obedience. He told Moses that if Jews rebelled, He would expel them (Lev. 26:27-34, Deut. 4:26, 6:18, 28:58-64). They could not return except in obedience.

The Marxist Zionists who reoccupied Palestine during the last century were not obedient to God. Israel today still rejects Jesus Christ. In violation of God’s law (Lev. 19:34), they cruelly oppress the “strangers in the land.”

Result? Strife, war, terrorism.

Someday, at Christ’s second coming, a repentant remnant will give Christ true obedience. Then, as their Redeemer, He will uphold their right to all the land, from the Mediterranean to the Euphrates.

Israel today is spiritually lawless. Hers is a counterfeit return. Israel is preparing the world, not for the coming of Christ but anti-Christ.

Could salvation be lost under the old covenant? — Conditional security in the Old Testament

Below are passages which clearly show that those in the old covenant could lose their salvation.

In my article, Who-Goes-To-Heaven Scriptures — Narrow is the Way | Who are the Children of God? — “There is therefore now *no condemnation* to those who are IN CHRIST Jesus, who don’t WALK according to the flesh, but ACCORDING TO THE SPIRIT”, I don’t include Old Testament passages and examples, because we’re in the new covenant. Now, the Holy Spirit lives in Christians, so we’re accountable for what we do internally, not just externally.

Why Once Saved, Always Saved is Garbage — Most lost again, failing to provide oil for their lamps, soiling their wedding dress – Tertullian

Many people argue that because salvation is a “free gift,” that humans do nothing to earn it, and therefore can do nothing to lose it.

God’s Word:

Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever disobeys the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God remains upon him. John 3:36 NAB

Now I would remind you, brothers, of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, in which you stand, and by which you are being saved, if you hold fast to the word I preached to you—unless you believed in vain. 1 Cor. 15:1-2 ESV

“How can they be worse off if they received something that can never be taken away from them?”

20 For if, after they have escaped the defilements of the world through the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, the last state has become worse for them than the first. 21 For it would have been better for them never to have known the way of righteousness than after knowing it to turn back from the holy commandment delivered to them. 22 What the true proverb says has happened to them: “The dog returns to its own vomit, and the sow, after washing herself, returns to wallow in the mire.” 2 Peter 2:17-22 ESV

Most born-again Christians would become lost again:

God had foreseen… that faith even after baptism would be endangered. He saw that most persons after attaining unto salvation would be lost again by soiling the wedding dress, by failing to provide oil for their torches.” ~ Tertullian (c. 213)

Once Saved, Always Saved? – Answering The Error – Charles Stanley Refuted

Excellent video! I found this segment especially helpful:

19:15 Charles Stanley says: “In 1 Corinthians chapter 3, Paul makes it very clear about losing our reward when we live a life of sin.”

But Paul wasn’t talking about living a life of sin in 1 Cor. 3. “If any man’s work is burned” refers to his work, the Corinthians falling away:

Aaron Gallagher: “[Paul is] saying that if those converts that [he] taught, were baptized, if they fall away, Paul will still be saved but they won’t.”

1 Corinthians 3
1 Brothers… 3 for you are still fleshly. … 6 I planted. Apollos watered. … 9 For we are God’s fellow workers. You are God’s farming, God’s building.
10 According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I laid a foundation, and another builds on it. But let each man be careful how he builds on it. … 12 But if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay, or stubble, 13 each man’s work will be revealed. For the Day will declare it, because it is revealed in fire; and the fire itself will test what sort of work each man’s work is. 14 If any man’s work remains which he built on it, he will receive a reward. 15 If any man’s work is burned, he will suffer loss, but he himself will be saved, but as through fire.

Chris White: Romans 11:18-22 – Explained – Once Saved Always Saved or Cut Off? — “Continuing in His kindness is required to avoid being cut off”

Romans 11:20 ..Don’t be conceited, but FEAR; 21 for if God didn’t spare the natural branches [the Jews], neither will he spare you. 22 See then the GOODNESS *and* SEVERITY of God. Toward those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, IF YOU CONTINUE in his GOODNESS; OTHERWISE YOU WILL ALSO BE CUT OFF [like in Mt. 7:19 and John 15:6].

Continuing in His kindness is required to avoid being cut off from this tree.”

“There are upwards of 80 passages in the New Testament that suggest in one way or another that a believer can fall away from the faith.”

9:00 John Calvin‘s explanation is that Paul is basically lying to his readers to scare them.
R. C. Sproul avoided the passage completely.

Steve Gregg: Living for the Glory of God — “That God will be glorified is your hope”

“Living for His glory results in rejoicing.
• It’s characterized by praising and declaring Him to the world.
• It’s confidence in God….
Submitting to God; that is being resigned to His will.
Obeying God so your good works are seen and bring glory to God.
• You serve people in a way that brings glory to God.
• And you rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. That God will be glorified is your hope.”

Steve read this prayer at the end: Spurgeon: Will you not this day make it your prayer? Lord, help me to glorify Thee…

Little Sins! – Charles Spurgeon Sermon (1859) — “Don’t you know that a little sin, carelessly indulged in will prevent your salvation?”

36:15 “Don’t you know that a little sin, carelessly indulged in will prevent your salvation?”

“These little sins show that you are still a slave to sin.” “It shows the deceitfulness of your heart, and manifests that you still love the waysof sin.”

If you love sin; though, it is a little one, your heart is not right in the sight of God. You are still a stranger to divine grace.”

“God will never be one with you until you and your sins are split apart.”

Secret Sins (Turn…or Burn) – Charles Spurgeon — “Will you have your sin and go to hell, or leave your sin and go to heaven?”

“A sin is a sin, whether done in private or before the wide world.”

“Tell thine own conscience now what it is. Look it in the face. Confess it before God. May He give you grace to remove that sin and any other, and turn to Him with full purpose of heart.”

“Christians, recollect that little sins will spoil your communion with Christ. Little sins, like little stains in silk, may damage the fine texture of fellowship; little sins, like little irregularities in the machinery, may spoil the whole fabric of your religion.”

“..my friend, will you have your sin and go to hell, or leave your sin and go to heaven?”

“..will ye keep your secret sins, and have eternal fire for them? Remember it is of no use, they must all be given up, or else you cannot be God’s child. You cannot by any means have both; it cannot be God and the world, it cannot be Christ and the devil; it must be one or the other. Oh! that God would give you grace to resign all; for what are they worth?”

Full Transcript

I just updated & expanded: The Didache (70-100 AD): Reconciliation was required to attend early church meetings! “Let no one who is at odds with his fellow come together with you, until they be reconciled, that your sacrifice may not be profaned”

Is The Didache a blueprint for the way churches should be?

This is one of the writings of “the early Christian fathers” that I especially liked. It’s big on unity!

What if we compare The Didache to what is practiced in today’s ‘churches?’ 

But every Lord’s day gather yourselves together, and break bread, and give thanksgiving after having confessed your transgressions, that your sacrifice may be pure. But let no one who is at odds with his fellow come together with you, until they be reconciled, that your sacrifice may not be profaned.

Is there even one ‘church’ in America that requires reconciliation? How many pastors have fully reconciled so they’re qualified to lead?

The Didache mentions prophets being a common leadership ministry in the late first century church (like Ephesians 4:11). Where are they in today’s churches?

The Didache also has “the way of death” list that is similar to Paul’s “will not inherit the Kingdom” list in Galatians 5.

Dennis Prager doesn’t believe pornography is bad — rejects the new covenant!

It’s the difference between the old and new covenants. The 6th commandment, ‘Thou shall not commit adultery’ meant sex outside of marriage. In the New Testament Jesus says that lusting in one’s heart after women is adultery – Mt. 5:27-29. Prager is Jewish.

The Holy Spirit helps us overcome when we completely submit to God (cold turkey to lusting 100%), resist the Devil and the lust demon flees, even homosexual lust! >>> FREEDOM!!!

“No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.” (1 Cor. 10:13)

Paul:

“For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: If anyone will not work, neither shall he eat. For we hear that there are some who walk among you in a disorderly manner, not working at all, but are busybodies. Now those who are such we command and exhort through our Lord Jesus Christ that they work in quietness and eat their own bread.” – 2 Thess. 3:10-12

 

Follow the Light in This Darkness

Calvary Chapel’s ‘Don’t Talk’ Rule: Even “In a situation where something in the church is so completely wrong that the sheep in the body are in spiritual danger, then say nothing to anybody, resign, and move on”

Related: Joe Schimmel: The cultlike ‘don’t talk’ rule — protecting unrepentant pastors & false teaching from “gossip”

Excerpt from “The Ministry of an Assisting Pastor” by Larry Taylor (1994), Calvary Chapel’s primer for Assisting Pastors

(Note: Larry Taylor has since repented of the this book and it’s contents and left CC)

7. Never Gossip

Gossip is a sin that most of us feel we are not guilty of, and which most of us are very guilty of. Gossip may be defined as saying anything negative, whether true or not, to anyone about the pastor or about the ministry. If there are things wrong, take it to the Lord in prayer. Tell absolutely no one, including your spouse. Do not repeat anything that would cast aspersion on the ministry in any way. Doing so dishonors Christ and His cause.

But, you say, what do you do if there are real problems? Pray about them and forget them. If that doesn’t work, take your concerns directly and only to the pastor himself, and share with him honestly. If that doesn’t work, resign, and move on. Under no circumstances should you ever say anything negative about the pastor or the ministry to anyone, even after you’ve quit.

In a situation where something in the church is so completely wrong that the sheep in the body are in spiritual danger, then say nothing to anybody, resign, and move on. If the church is a Calvary Chapel affiliate, then take your concerns and share them privately with Pastor Chuck or with Oden Fong, then drop it; leave it alone. Let them handle it. Trust God. He’ll correct the situation. But do not gossip. It is a terrible sin before God.
