Can anyone...by their own "FREE WILL" choose Christ or Does God FORCE our steps?
John 15:16
Ye have not chosen me,
but I have chosen you, and ordained you,
that ye should go and bring forth fruit,
and that your fruit should remain:
Can you or anyone else
by their own "FREE WILL"
come to JESUS CHRIST?
John 6:44
No man can come to me,
except the Father which hath sent me draw him:
and I will raise him up at the last day
(greek word for draw above; helko = DRAG)
Can you or anyone else

Jesus Christ came to SAVE SINNERS
Not many believe that:
Jesus Christ is the SAVIOUR OF THE WORLD
Not many believe that:
Jesus said He would DRAW ALL MEN UNTO HIMSELF
Not many believe that:
God's word says at about four places
that EVER KNEE WILL BOW
AND EVERY TONGUE WILL CONFESS
JESUS LORD AND SAVIOUR
Not many believe that:
God says He is not willing that ANY SHALL PERISH
Not many believe that:
God says that it is HE
Who causes men to believe or not believe
to have faith or not have faith…

Are you too... worshiping a God of Failure?
A God
Who always has to go from plan A to plan B
A God
Who is running a "disaster control operation" from heaven
A God
Who supposedly created creatures
HE CANNOT CONTROL
Creatures that will wreck His original plan
The foolish and unscriptural teaching
is that God created a PERFECT archangel
who then SINNED AND REBELLED AGAINST God
But ... BUT, here is the evil in this teaching:
God did not intend,
neither did He KNOW
that this was ever going to h…

To be the Saviour of the World... One must SAVE the entire WORLD
The Fireman...
I teach that Jesus Christ
is the Saviour of the world-
and that he can not be
SAVIOUR OF THE WORLD-
and not
SAVE THE ENTIRE WORLD
I get replies that Christ
can be the Saviour of the world,
and yet
NOT SAVE THE ENTIRE WORLD
They give me this type of proof:
When a fireman goes into a burning building to save trapped people,
what happens if these trapped people refuse to be saved?
Is the fireman not still a firem…

"GOD IS LOVE" 1John 4:8
How many believe it?
Do YOU believe it?
Not if you also believe
that God will torture the majority of mankind
unmercifully in real fire for ALL eternity, you don’t
1Tim 2:4
"For this is good and acceptable
in the sight of God our Saviour:
Who WILL HAVE ALL MEN TO BE SAVED,
and to come unto the knowledge of the truth"
ONLY Christians
(lead by Christian theologians, clergymen, pastors, and teachers)
that teach the whole world that Jesus Christ,

The Consuming FIRE of GOD
We are saved by grace through faith (Eph 2:8)
However, that does not purge us
from all our filthy thoughts and deeds
No, there is more
There is also a consuming FIRE that God uses on us:
"For other foundation can no man lay
than that is laid, which is JESUS CHRIST
Now if any man build upon this foundation
gold, silver, precious stones,
WOOD, HAY, STUBBLE;
Every man’s work shall be made manifest;
for the day shall declare it,
because it shall be revealed BY FIRE;

A Parable for ..ALL.. mankind-but who will SEE
Christ spoke ONLY in parables
when talking with the masses,
Matt 13:34
"ALL these things spake Jesus unto the multitude
in PARABLES; and without a parable spake He NOT unto them"
PARABLES ARE SPIRITUAL
A parable is a story
that contains in figurative or symbolic language
a higher moral or spiritual truth
Parables are HIGHER, SPIRITUAL,
GLORIOUS teachings of ETERNAL things
Literally
they are of little consequence;
Spiritually
they are of enorm…

Carnal Nature revealed with this truth
What is very revealing about ones carnal nature is...
when a person finds out
that ..ALL.. will eventually be saved-
Will they still want and desire to lead the life
they were professing to live-REGARDLESS
OR
are there real desires brought to "light"
that they really and truly want and wish
to live the other life
and the only reason they previously didn't
was for fear of Hell and not LOVE for God
Our thoughts on the above
are worth pondering for many…

There's only one "GOOD SHEPHERD"
"How think ye? if a man have an hundred sheep,
and one of them be gone astray,
doth he not leave the ninety and nine,
and goeth into the mountains
and seeketh that which is gone astray?
...even so it is not
the will of your Father which is in heaven,
that one of these little ones should perish"
(Matt 18:12&14)
When God almighty
says something is His will or is ..NOT.. His will
then that's the way it will be done (Mat 6:10)
In God's time and in God's way,…

YOUR GOD ... or ... MY GOD ... YOU DECIDE (Part 2)
I believed in the Trinity ...and then I looked for myself
The Trinity as defined by
Hastings Dictionary of the Bible Page 1015:
The Christian doctrine of God
as existing in three Persons and one Substance
is not demonstrable by logic or scriptual proof
Regardless, those that believe in and teach the Trinity
believe that it is, "...a necessary "hypothesis"
that there are three persons to the Godhead:
God the Father
The Holy Ghost (Spirit)

THE AWAKENING...YOU'VE BEEN WRONG ALL ALONG!!
Jesus came by Water and Blood
not by Water only
but by Water and Blood
in other words:
Jesus came by Baptism and Death
not by Baptism only
but by Baptism and Death
Not everyone claiming the Blood of Christ
will stand before him at his coming
Therefore, not everyone
claiming the Blood of Christ
will be able to SEE and UNDERSTAND
the "WATER" aspect of SALVATION
Not even if GOD himself,
PAINTED THEM A PICTURE!!
But wait- He did indeed paint ever…

WHO ARE THE "FALSE CHRISTS"
Who are they...
who almost deceive
the VERY ELECT and DECEIVE MANY?
We read that they are
"false Christs" and "false prophets"
But WHO are these false Christs and false prophets?
How will we know them?
What IDENTIFIES them as
false prophets, liars, and deceivers?
Here are just two Scriptures
where Jesus gives us the IDENTIFYING SIGNS
of the these false teachers, and deceivers:
"MANY will say to me [Jesus] in that day,

LAZARUS AND THE RICH MAN-The Real Message=ALL TO BE SAVED
The rich man identified
There is only one man who Scripturally fits all the descriptions
of the "rich man" in this parable
Only one person who "personifies" all of the symbols and
identifying clues given of this rich man
And that man is:
"JUDAH !"
But not just Judah as an historical individual,
but collectively All Israel under the headship of Judah, the Jews
And the Jews were "rich"
Beginning back in Gen 15:14
God prophesied that Ab…

Which Church and Where Is It ?
Jesus Christ said
"I will BUILD My church..."(Matt 16:18)
James understood that there was a church
to be built among the Gentiles:
"After this I will return and will BUILD again
the tabernacle of David..."(Acts 15:15-16)
Paul instructs us further
in this building process of the church
"According to the grace of God
which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder,
I have laid the foundation,
and another builds thereon
But let every man TAKE HEED

God is not...
operating a "disaster control center"
from his throne of the universe
He is not trying to "pick up the pieces"
of a totally unexpected tragedy
that he never saw coming
He is not trying to "figure out" a way
to somehow to get things back
to being as good as they once were
He is not
trying to "figure out" a way to out smart Satan-
and he is not "falling behind" numerically
as far as how many will be saved
and how many will be lost
God has a plan,
and he is working out that plan…

T or F...GOD created "EVIL" and the "WASTER" to destroy?
Elohim is:
Sovereign-
He is the supreme authority in total control of all things.
Omnipresent-
He is present everywhere always.
Omnipotent-
His power is unlimited;
He can do whatever he wills,
whenever he wills; and his will...will be done always.
Omniscient-
He knows all things
which can be known; past present and future.
Elohim is:
the supreme authority who is ever present
has unlimited power and knows all things.

HOW HARD IS IT GETTING SAVED?
According to the sinners prayer
a person can be saved in about 15 seconds
by saying some specially arranged words
Not so!
Not true!!
Getting Saved is the hardest most difficult thing
anyone will ever have to go through in their entire lifetime
Being saved is a lifetime process!!
Just as we are in a lifetime process
of being made into the image of God-
Both are on-going processes!!
Many times people take
individual texts out of the Bible to back this error
