In People, Who Goes to Heaven

“That’s what makes you lose your breath and your legs weak. We’re only on this earth for a short time, and he was just ahead of us.” – Tim Pierce

• • •

Notice “R.I.P.” in the video’s title. People want to believe “wide is the road to heaven,” which is the opposite of what Jesus clearly taught (Mt. 7:13-23).

“Enter in by the NARROW GATE; for WIDE is the GATE and BROAD is the way that leads to DESTRUCTION, and MANY are those who enter in by it. How NARROW is the GATE, and RESTRICTED is the way that leads to LIFE! FEW are those who find it. … BY THEIR FRUITS YOU WILL KNOW THEM…. A good tree can’t produce evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree produce good fruit. 19 EVERY TREE THAT DOESN’T GROW GOOD FRUIT IS CUT DOWN AND THROWN INTO THE FIRE. 20 Therefore by their fruits you will know them. … Not everyone who *SAYS* to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven; but he who *DOES* THE WILL OF MY FATHER who is in heaven.” (Mt. 7:13-21)

Paul predicted this great falling away from truth:

“For the time will come when they will not listen to the sound doctrine, but, having itching ears, will heap up for themselves teachers after their own lusts; and will turn away their ears from the truth, and turn aside to fables.” – 2 Tim. 4:3-4

David Pawson: How then can we be sure of our salvation since “only believe” & OSAS are not Biblical doctrines?

In Doctrines Demystified, Who Goes to Heaven

Since “once saved always saved” (OSAS) & “only believe” are not Biblical doctrines [refuted by over 80 New Testament verses; were invented by Augustine (4th century) and Luther, Calvin & Beza (16th century)], how then can we be sure of our salvation according to what the Bible really says?

“How can we be sure? ..through the Holy Spirit. When we are led by the Spirit and are walking in the Spirit, we shall enjoy the continuous witness of the Spirit, that intuitive certainty that the Lord is with us. But the New Testament also contains checks even on this, so that we can be quite sure that our intuition is not being misled. These include a clear conscience, a love for our brethren in Christ and a discontinuing of habitual sins (1 John contains a comprehensive list of such ‘proofs’).” – David Pawson, Once Saved Always Saved?: A Study in Perseverance and Inheritance (p. 139; p. 134 Kindle)

My article that shows what the New Testament really says:

Kevin Conner was one of my Bible teachers at Abbott Loop Bible School in 1984. I hand copied this post out of our textbook. Rick used to call Kevin his mentor. Some highlights:

• “OBEDIENCE IS the very law of SECURITY for all created beings. There can be NO SUCH THING as UNCONDITIONAL security.”

• WARNINGS against backsliding SHOW that the security of the believer is conditional upon obedience and faith

• What God has provided in Christ man must receive and apply

• Divine SOVEREIGNTY *and* human RESPONSIBILITY meet together in the great redemptive plan

• Christ is “the author of eternal salvation unto all them that OBEY him” (Hebrews 5:9)

• Upon HEARING and FOLLOWING the Shepherd they receive eternal life and will never perish

• AS HE OBEYS the Word of the Lord his SECURITY against backsliding and apostacy is FULLY GUARANTEED

( ) on the Believer’s CONDITIONAL Security: “ for all created beings. There can be .”

Paul, himself made sure he abided in Christ: “Herein I also practice ALWAYS having a CONSCIENCE VOID OF OFFENSE toward God and MEN” (Acts 24:16) — which sometimes required reconciliation to be right with men (Mt. 5:23-26 and James 5:16).

Paul feared losing his own salvation – Ran his race to win! — “I beat my body and bring it into submission lest I myself should be rejected”

Who were the Nephilim? Are the “sons of god” mentioned in Genesis 6 merely the decedents of Seth? This topic is not one that we should divide over in the body of Christ, but it is something that we should discuss and ask ourselves, “what does the Bible say concerning this?”

Christmas Trees Biblical? What Joe Schimmel puts on the top of his Christmas tree

Jeremiah 10 is Not About Christmas Trees But Idols

On December 11, 2022

When we read Jeremiah 10 in context it is obvious that it is not about Christmas trees or anything like it. When you first read this passage it may seem like the Bible is banning Christmas trees but this is the result of making two big mistakes. First, the mistake of anachronism in acting like they had any concept of Christmas trees or anything like Christmas trees back then. Second, the even bigger mistake of not reading the passage in context. It is clearly about idols, not Christmas trees. Now, Christians don’t NEED to go and get Christmas trees but I really hope that we will stop condemning each other over silly things and stick to the issues of the gospel, good doctrine, walking in love and being a light in the world. Let’s stop flipping out over issues the Bible doesn’t even speak to.

What the Bible REALLY Says About Alcohol

On December 10, 2022

Setting aside our own opinions and just looking at the what the Bible actually says we will see that alcohol was intended to be a blessing from God for us to enjoy. We’ll also see how dangerous and wicked drunkenness is. We’ll even see what the Bible says about alcohol as a medicinal product and what the Bible says about alcohol or drugs being used on a hospice patient. This is what the Bible really says about alcohol.

Peter the Egyptian: “As long as one practices any kind of passion he cannot be called servant of God … It is shameful for him to teach before he has been freed from that passion”

On December 10, 2022

James Perloff, author of ‘Missing Miracles, Missing Saints, mentioned this quote in a podcast.

Saint Peter the Egyptian (4th-5th century):

Some other time Peter was asked: ‘What is a servant of God?’ His answer was this: ‘As long as one practices any kind of passion he cannot be called servant of God, but he is the servant of that passion which conquers him. As long as he is conquered he cannot teach others who are conquered by the same passions, because it is shameful for him to teach before he has been freed from that passion about which he teaches.’ (source)

Radical ‘Respect for Marriage Act’ Could Spell End of Religious Tax Exemptions

On November 30, 2022

In Uncategorized

If these groups think that their places of worship and nonprofits will be exempt from anti-discrimination lawsuits and attacks on religious liberty, they are sorely mistaken. Unless they embrace the demands of same-sex marriage anti-discrimination requirements hook, line, and sinker, then they will be subject to the same concerns regarding tax exemption and licensure. …

Not only will religious institutions be subject to losing their tax-exempt status, grants, licensure, and more, they will likely not be able to continue to offer their services in the community.

Did It Rain before the Flood? What Generated the Preflood Mist?

Did It Rain before the Flood? What Generated the Preflood Mist?

Genesis 2:5–6 suggests that it did not rain before the flood

^[5No plant of the field was yet in the earth, and no herb of the field had yet sprung up; for Yahweh God had not caused it to rain on the earth. There was not a man to till the ground, ⁶but a mist went up from the earth, and watered the whole surface of the ground.]

Now no shrub of the field was yet in the earth, and no plant of the field had yet sprouted, for the Lord God had not sent rain upon the earth; and there was no man to cultivate the ground. But a mist used to rise from the earth and water the whole surface of the ground.¹[emphasis added] …

Rainbows. God promised never again to flood the entire Earth (Genesis 9:12–17), a promise marked by a “bow in the cloud”—a rainbow. Rainbows form when raindrops refract sunlight. This suggests that rainbows began after the flood, and there was no preflood rain. …

A Terrarium. The Hebrew word translated “mist”($!), in Genesis 2:6, occurs in only one other place in the Bible—Job 36:27, where it clearly means water vapor. So, did the preflood Earth act as a humid terrarium in which water vapor evaporated, condensed as dew without rainfall, and watered the Earth? Could an Earth-size terrarium…

CREATION SCIENCE: THE PRE-FLOOD WORLD – Christian Apologetics Study

CREATION SCIENCE 101: THE PRE-FLOOD WORLD

Before the global worldwide Flood of Noah’s generation, the planet Earth was very different from the post-flood world that we observe today. According to the young Earth creation science researchers, the pre-flood Earth had a large human population in the billions. It was filled with tame animals. It had a thin crystalline water canopy shielding the planet from deadly radiation. It had a single supercontinent or landmass and a single super ocean. Its surface geography was less rugged with a more stable crust. And it had more edible and nutritious plants than the post-flood world. These superior environmental global conditions on Earth contributed to the longevity among human populations, which also facilitated the gigantism found among the pre-flood plant and animal fossil records. …

And God called the firmament Heaven.” (Gen.1:6-8a)

There was a man who walked on water
He came to set the people free
He was the ultimate example
Of what love can truly be
‘Cause His love was His life
And He gave it away
You gotta give it away

As we live
Moving side by side
May we learn to give
(May, may we learn to give)
Learn to sacrifice

You gotta give it away

There’s a place in my heart
Reserved for You
Where I hear Your still small voice
Whisper words of truth
Every hour, every day
I know You’re there
Gently calling me to come
To that place of prayer

Only for You I want to live
Willing to serve, ready to give
All that I am, all that I do
Lord, may it be only for You
There are times when I fail
To do Your will
Falling short of Your desire
Plans left unfulfilled
But I know even then
Your love remains
There to bring me back again
To Your arms of grace

‘Cause only for You I want to live
Willing to serve, ready to give
All that I am, all that I do
Lord, may it be only for You

Trace Balin: ‘Walk In The Spirit’

Well, I could say some things
And really get all my feelings out
Words of bitter stings
Sow mistrust and scatter doubt

I will not walk in hate
I’ll walk away from rejection
I will not walk in fear
’Cause fear is the opposite of perfection

I will walk in the Spirit
Walk in the Spirit
I’ll dwell on the things
That walking there brings
I will walk in the Spirit
Walk in the Spirit
Let there be no doubt
I’m coming out
To walk in the Spirit, oh…
Walk in the Spirit, oh…

I heard many voices say
That I would never be good enough
But the liar is on his way
The Righteous One has called his bluff

Walking, not falling out of control …

Falling hinders reaching the goal …

Trace Balin: ‘We Are An Army’ ~1990

God is building an army
Mighty warriors strong and true
Marching boldly to battle
Hear His voice and quickly do
And the land that Satan stole away
We’re coming back to take today
So let us join in one accord
Fight the battle, win the war

We are an army
We’re marching hand in hand
We’re taking back the land
That Satan stole
We are an army
We’re marching hand in hand
Together we will stand
For our Lord
