Jesus: “That servant who knew his lord’s will, and didn’t prepare nor do what he wanted, will be beaten with many stripes, but he who didn’t know, and did things worthy of stripes, will be beaten with few stripes.” – Luke 12:47-48

Lauren Boebert’s Public Indecency, Andy Stanley’s LGBTQ Apostasy

Andy Stanley handing out licenses of immorality, just like his father, Charles Stanley, who helped popularize “once saved always saved,” the license for immorality that’s now mainstream.

And Rep. Lauren Boebert needs to be called out, believing she can do filthy things and still be a “Christian.” She’s known for loudly standing against drag queens; though, she’s caught sexually playing with a leftist who owns a bar that hosts drag queens!

She’s a complete hypocrite, who won’t admit she seriously sinned, and many “Christians’ are defending her.

She reminds me of “Christian” Sarah Palin, whom I’ve written much about since 2008.

100 BILLION STARS IN OUR MILKY WAY GALAXY; HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS OF GALAXIES in the known universe! – Joe Rogan is aware

I’ve posted this fact for years, but I like the way Joe says it.

Mind boggling!

“There’s a hundred billion stars in this galaxy alone. There’s hundreds of billions of galaxies in the known universe.” – Joe Rogan #2037

Consider:

Our sun is an average sized star, and the hundreds of billion galaxies each have an average of 100 billion stars (suns)!

‘It’s all created from nothing; no designer — by chance’ — children are taught in public education.

The Bible:

that which is known by God is revealed in [men], for God revealed it to them. For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity; that they may be without excuse. – Romans 1:18-20

Porn & Masturbation Will Cost You Eternal Torment if you don’t repent

Jesus includes the RIGHT HAND in Matthew 5
27 You have heard that it was said [old covenant], ‘Do not commit adultery.’ 28 But I tell you [new covenant] that anyone who looks at a woman to lust after her has already committed adultery with her in his heart. 29 If your right eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. 30 And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to depart into hell.

Paul in Galatians 5
19 Now the works of the flesh are obvious, which are: adultery, sexual immorality, uncleanness, lustfulness, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, strife, jealousies, outbursts of anger, rivalries, divisions, heresies, 21 envyings, murders, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these; of which I forewarn you, even as I also forewarned you, that those who practice such things WILL NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD.

22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law. 24 THOSE WHO BELONG TO CHRIST have crucified the flesh with its passions and lusts.

6:7 Don’t be deceived. God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that will he also reap. 8 For he who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap CORRUPTION. But he who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap ETERNAL LIFE.

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.

Oliver Anthony w/ Jordan Peterson: THE SOLUTION is “making Jesus’ 2 greatest commandments our priority” — “There has to be something pure and honest and righteous at the top of our focus”

1:21:30 Jordan Peterson: the necessity of following our conscience

1:26:35 Chris Anthony Lunsford (Oliver Anthony) reads Matthew 22:36-39, saying:

“A Pharisee asks Jesus

“..which is the greatest commandment in the Law?” Jesus replied: “ ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’

If we could learn to make those two commandments… our priority, and then base our differences below that. God is here (hands high), our love for each other here (hands lower), and then below that is try to find a way to integrate our differences in a way that everyone can live a better life. It would resolve a lot of the conflicts….”

1:49:30 Lunsford (Anthony) There has to be something pure and honest and righteous at the top of our focus, collectively to maintain that.” What Jordan Peterson just described.

– –

Jordan B. Peterson and breakout musician Chris Lunsford, better known by his stage name Oliver Anthony, discuss the balance between vision and efficiency in artistic and commercial endeavors, why Chris’ hit song “Rich Men North of Richmond,” has resonated so broadly and so quickly, the way honest expression through music can combat demoralization, how politics have become confused with the sacred, and what we can do to restore each to their proper order.

2,700 Year-old, 1/3rd Mile Hezekiah’s Tunnel in Jerusalem — I waded through it in ~1983

I don’t remember it being a formal site back then. Two Palestinian boys told me where it was. My Abbott Loop Bible teacher, John Owen told suggested I walk it, who was kind enough to let me stay with him for 10 days in Jerusalem.

The water was sometimes above my knees. Two teams dug from opposite ends, and where they met can be seen, because the alignment jags there, but not by much, which I found impressive — maybe only a foot or so (it’s been 40 years)?

2-minute video shows what it’s like now:

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.

7 Signs God is Showing You Someone is a Covert Narcissist

12:45 “The are vengeful, envious, jealous, self-centered people. So they do not do well when others succeed, especially in areas that are important to them.”

Behind their phony, fake laughter is an extremely envious, insecure person.

They have zero interest in the truth.

They’re always looking externally for internal validation.
