Don't give your testimony to anyone.

Matthew 7:6

King James Version (KJV)

 
6 Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.



1 Corinthians 2:14

King James Version (KJV)

 
14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.


Nonelects=God did not write their names in the Lamb's book of life before the world was created.

People that don't have to the Holy Spirit, can't understand deep spiritual things, no matter how much you explain it to them.  For example, me before God gave me the Holy Spirit, I could not understand the simple gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.  It is only when God gave me the Holy Spirit, that is when God gave me understanding of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.  Then after I understood them, God later on revealed to me other spiritual things in the Bible (It is like the level of your grade in school, 1st grade, then 2nd grade and so forth).  I learned about election after God gave me the Holy Spirit and after about a year and a half since I was born again.  God does not reveal to us certain spiritual things that we can't handle until we are ready for it, same goes with the different levels of spiritual trials.  Just focus on preaching the gospel all over the world.

In addition, nonelects can't handle the spiritual meat of God.


God hates sinners=nonelects.

In verse 9, "trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others" are Satan's children.

10 Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.

 

11 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.

 

12 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.

 

13 And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.

 

14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

9 And as Jesus passed forth from thence, he saw a man, named Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he saith unto him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him.

10 And it came to pass, as Jesus sat at meat in the house, behold, many publicans and sinners came and sat down with him and his disciples.

11 And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his disciples, Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners?

In verse 11, "publicans and sinners" are God's elects.

12 But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.

13 But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

14 And as he passed by, he saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting at the receipt of custom, and said unto him, Follow me. And he arose and followed him.

15 And it came to pass, that, as Jesus sat at meat in his house, many publicans and sinners sat also together with Jesus and his disciples: for there were many, and they followed him.

In verse 15, "publicans and sinners" are God's elects.

16 And when the scribes and Pharisees saw him eat with publicans and sinners, they said unto his disciples, How is it that he eateth and drinketh with publicans and sinners?

In verse 16, "publicans and sinners" are God's elects.

17 When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

In verse 17, "the righteous" are Satan's children who are self-righteous and "sinners" are God's elects.

 

Luke 5:27-32

King James Version (KJV)

 

27 And after these things he went forth, and saw a publican, named Levi, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he said unto him, Follow me.

28 And he left all, rose up, and followed him.

29 And Levi made him a great feast in his own house: and there was a great company of publicans and of others that sat down with them.

30 But their scribes and Pharisees murmured against his disciples, saying, Why do ye eat and drink with publicans and sinners?

In verse 30, "publicans and sinners" are God's elects.

31 And Jesus answering said unto them, They that are whole need not a physician; but they that are sick.

32 I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

In verse 32, "the righteous" are Satan's children who are self-righteous and "sinners" are God's elects.


God's elects are the rejects of this world since they were physically born.

Was Jesus The Friend Of Sinners?

JEREMIAH 23 AND THE "LATTER DAYS" OF THE NEW TESTAMENT ERA

JEREMIAH 23 AND THE "LATTER DAYS" OF THE NEW TESTAMENT ERA

In this study we will turn our attention to the prophecy of the LORD God through the spoken words of Jeremiah the prophet concerning the latter days, which are the days of the New Testament Era. The 70-year captivity of the king of Babylon invading the Temple at Jerusalem and also the surrounding cities of Judah that Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and Daniel were a part of typifies exactly the spiritual 70-year captivity of the spiritual king of Babylon’s (Satan’s) rulership within the global New Testament organized congregations of professing believers in the end of days.

 

The whole book of Jeremiah is pointing us and referring exclusively to the whole New Testament Era along with the abomination of desolation occurring at the very end of time. That’s why most congregations across the globe do not spend much time within this holy book because it is prophesying mainly against them for the most part.

 

Jeremiah chapter 23 has a central theme concerning the New Testament Israel of our day that starts in the very first verse, “Woe be unto the pastors,” (Jeremiah 23:20) let’s the reader know that it is referring to the latter days of the New Testament Era with the phrase “in the latter days ye shall consider it perfectly.”

 

Jeremiah 23:1

Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture saith the LORD.

 

Jeremiah 23:2

Therefore thus saith the LORD God of Israel against the pastors that feed my people; Ye have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them: behold, I will visit upon you the evil of your doings, saith the LORD.

 

Jeremiah 23:3

And I will gather the remnant [a few out of many] of my flock [the chosen elect of God] out of all countries whither I have driven them, and will bring them again to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and increase [eternal Salvation by the LORD’s sovereign grace alone with the giving of the Holy Spirit started on the Day of Pentecost].

 

Jeremiah 23:4

And I will set up shepherds over them which shall feed them: and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall they be lacking, saith the LORD.

 

Jeremiah 23:5

Behold, the days come [the New Testament Era], saith the LORD, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth.

 

Jesus Christ is that "righteous Branch" (Isaiah 4:2; Isaiah 11:1-5; Zechariah 3:8; Zechariah 6:12-13) from the seed of David that came to earth as God incarnate to die for His chosen people (Matthew 1:21; John 17:9).

 

Jeremiah 23:6

In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, the LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.

 

This verse as is the previous verse is referring to the whole New Testament Era of those who were/are blessed by being born again from above by God the Holy Spirit.

 

They are considered and called spiritual Jews by the right of circumcision in the heart made without hands in the Holy Spirit (Romans 2:28-29) and are made up of all nations, peoples, kindreds, and every tongue (Revelation 7:9).

 

Jeremiah 23:9

Mine heart within me is broken because of the prophets; all my bones shake; I am like a drunken man, and like a man whom wine hath overcome, because of the LORD, and because of the words of his holiness.

 

The elect of God currently feels Jeremiah’s pain and heartache because of all the false prophets who are leading masses of people astray during these final days of the New Testament era of spiritual Israel ending with the GREAT “spiritual” tribulation period. This is a horrifying and frightening thing to see this event take place currently in the doors of the global congregations of professing christians.

 

Jeremiah 23:10

For the land is full of adulterers; for because of swearing the land mourneth; the pleasant places of the wilderness are dried up [the wilderness is referring to this whole earth that is a spiritual barren wilderness], and their course is evil, and their force is not right.

 

The congregations (the pleasant places) today are dried up being full of adulterers in more of a spiritual sense.

 

The people have committed adultery against whom they believe is their heavenly husband, the LORD God because of their worship of false gods and idols in the form of false words and false doctrines taught within the doors that are contrary to the truth of God’s Word.

 

Jeremiah 23:11

For both prophet and priest are profane; yea, in my house [The Temple, which is comprised of all world-wide church bodies currently (I Corinthians 3:9-17; I Corinthians 6:13-20)] have I found their wickedness, saith the LORD.

 

Jeremiah 23:12

Wherefore their way shall be unto them as slippery ways in the darkness: they shall be driven on, and fall therein: for I will bring evil upon them, even the year of their visitation, saith the LORD.

 

Jeremiah 23:13

And I have seen folly in the prophets of Samaria; they prophesied in Baal, and caused my people Israel to err.

 

Jeremiah 23:14

I have seen also in the prophets of Jerusalem an horrible thing: they commit adultery, and walk in lies: they strengthen also the hands of evildoers, that none doth return from his wickedness; they are all of them unto me as Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrah.

 

 

 

Jeremiah 23:20

The anger of the LORD shall not return, until he have executed, and till he have performed the thoughts of his heart: in the latter days ye shall consider it perfectly.

 

Clearly in this given context of the phrase “in the latter days ye (plural) shall consider it perfectly” in Jeremiah 23:20, the LORD is referring exactly to the New Testament days leading right up to the final days of great tribulation where Satan as the king of Babylon (the physical world) will spiritually invade all corporate congregations worldwide trodding them down by conquering and ruling.

 

Also we have in verse 14 the prophets of Jerusalem being compared to “as Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrah” by the LORD God. This given context of Holy Scripture sounds very similar to a verse of Scripture in Revelation chapter 11 dealing with the context of the death of the eternal chosen Church of Christ being called the two witnesses because of spiritual harlotry. By being killed that means they were cast out the churches into the streets (John 16:2).

 

In Revelation 11:7-8 the Holy Bible states:

 

Revelation 11:7

And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.

 

Revelation 11:8

And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.”

 

From verses of Holy Scripture, Jesus was crucified right outside the city gates of Jerusalem, which is the Great city. That “Great city” speaks of the New Testament Israel of all the congregations within Christendom spread throughout the world in which all are typified as being Judah and Jerusalem where the literal Temple of God was located.

 

Here in Revelation 11:7, God is once again referring to Jerusalem, which was a place of worship to Him, now in the latter years being called Sodom and Egypt in the spiritual realm. Both places, Sodom and Egypt, are metaphorically typed as places of bondage/captivity unto their king/master Satan. Sodom and Egypt were both condemned unto punishment by God because of their utter wickedness in the Holy Scriptures.

 

Continuing on in Jeremiah 23 we read:

 

Jeremiah 23:21

I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied.

 

Jeremiah 23:25

I have heard what the prophets said, that prophesy lies in my name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed.

 

Many current pastors and ministers that preach God’s Word claim that they have visions and dreams of God speaking directly to them and other messages of the sort. I pray that God will move and cause you to come out of these harlot places at once. God does not come anymore in the forms of visions, dreams, signs, and wonders ever since the Holy Bible has been completed.

 

Jeremiah 23:26

How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies? Yea, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart;

 

Jeremiah 23:27

Which think to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbour, as their fathers have forgotten my name for Baal.

 

Jeremiah 23:28

The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream and he hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the chaff [the unsaved tares within the church bodies] to the wheat? [the chosen believers] saith the LORD.

 

There was a very preeminent man who led a historical march to the capital hills of Washington DC during the civil rights movement whose speech was titled “I Have a dream” in which the entire world would come together in unity one day. That man used a lot of God’s Word very much out of context to get his point across to the huge crowds that gathered on that historic day. It was a very emotional speech to the flesh, but had no bearing as far as the truth of God’s Word is concerned. He mentioned a key phrase during his emotional speech that was blasphemy and that was “we are all God’s children.” That is completely false according to the truth of Holy Scripture. For 1 John 3:10 states,

 

“In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.” (1 John 3:10)

 

This verse of Holy Scripture clearly identifies two different specific groups of individuals. One group is of righteousness being the children of God, the children of the Light. And the other group is not of righteousness being the workers of iniquity who God hates (Psalm 5:5, Psalm 11:5), the children of the devil who are also called the children of the night/darkness. Also in John 8:44, Christ spoke against the Jews stating directly to them “Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do.”

 

So, in these two given contexts of the Holy Bible one can clearly see given the Holy Spirit of course that the world is divided into two separate groups, the children of God and the children of the devil.

 

If a Pastor is preaching dreams and visions, then it is commanded to flee from this wicked and cursed individual because the LORD did not send these prophets, Satan did.

 

It is an abomination to God to declare these dreams and visions in the name of Christ simply because God has finished the Holy Bible over 2,000 years ago. God does not need nor will He tolerate man’s selfish and prideful attempts at lifting up oneself by declaring that God has spoken personally to him through dreams and visions.

 

In this Era of the New Covenant, God speaks to us only from His finished works of the Holy Bible. If you want to truly hear what the LORD God has to say to us today, then just simply read and study the Holy Bible. If you think you may have something to add to God’s perfect Word by declaring a self-made dream or vision as being from the Almighty, then you may as well go ahead and declare it and possibly deceive many by your poisonous words. However, your words are but a portion of the venomous and lethal dosage of the darkened scorpions from hell.

 

Jeremiah 23:29

Is not my word like as a fire? saith the LORD; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?

 

Currently, there is very little preaching at all that burns and beats down the flesh consistently within the global church bodies of the Great City of God. Most of the preaching within the congregations of today is very watered-down and filled with poison of man-made doctrines. These false prophets’ messages are soft and fluffy as like cotton-candy massaging and soothing the sinful flesh of man Sunday after Sunday.

 

Many who make a profession of faith that are still within the organized congregations within Christendom mainly go to be entertained and to be appeased. For God to compare His Holy Word to a fire and a hammer are not soft and very soothing words of preaching and teaching to say the least. On the contrary, these are very harsh methods as far as the words are concerned to present/witness to one’s flesh.

 

Jeremiah 23:31

Behold, I am against the prophets, saith the LORD, that use their tongues, and say, He saith.

 

Jeremiah 23:32

Behold, I am against them that prophesy false dreams, saith the LORD, and do tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their lightness; yet I sent them not, nor commanded them: therefore they shall not profit this people at all, saith the LORD.

THE MAN CLOTHED WITH LINEN WITH A WRITER'S INKHORN BY HIS SIDE

http://biblicaleschatology.blogspot.com/2011/05/man-clothed-with-linen-with-writers.html


THE MAN CLOTHED WITH LINEN WITH A WRITER'S INKHORN BY HIS SIDE

Ezekiel 9:1

He cried also in mine ears with a loud voice, saying, Cause them that have charge over the city [Jerusalem, where the Temple was located] to draw near, even every man with his destroying weapon in his hand.

 

Ezekiel 9:2

And, behold, six men came from the way of the higher gate, which lieth toward the north, and every man a slaughter weapon in his hand; and one man among them was clothed with linen, with a writer’s inkhorn by his side: and they went in, and stood beside the brasen altar.

 

Ezekiel 9:3

And the glory of the God of Israel was gone up from the cherub, whereupon he was, to the threshold of the house. And he called to the man clothed with linen, which had the writer's inkhorn by his side;

 

Ezekiel 9:4

And the LORD said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof.

 

Ezekiel 9:5

And to the others he said in mine hearing, Go ye after him through the city, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have ye pity:

 

Ezekiel 9:6

Slay utterly old and young, both maids, and little children, and women: but come not near any man upon whom is the mark; and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the ancient men which were before the house.

 

Ezekiel 9:7

And he said unto them, Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain: go ye forth. And they went forth, and slew in the city.

 

Ezekiel 9:8

And it came to pass, while they were slaying them, and I was left, that I fell upon my face, and cried, and said, Ah Lord GOD! wilt thou destroy all the residue of Israel in thy pouring out of thy fury upon Jerusalem?

 

Ezekiel 9:9

Then said he unto me, The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is exceeding great, and the land is full of blood, and the city full of perverseness: for they say, the LORD hath forsaken the earth, and the LORD seeth not.

 

Ezekiel 9:10

And as for me also, mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity, but I will recompense their way upon their head.

 

Ezekiel 9:11

And, behold, the man clothed with linen, which had the inkhorn by his side, reported the matter, saying, I have done as thou hast commanded me.

 

Ezekiel chapter nine sets a very harsh tone that is impossible for the carnal mind to even come close to comprehend mainly with members in the organized global church environments. Jerusalem is in view in the above passages of Ezekiel chapter nine.

 

Has anyone during Old Testament ancient days actually gone throughout Jerusalem with a cup full of ink (inkhorn) and placed a mark upon the foreheads of all those who sigh and mourn due to all of the abominations that were performed within the midst of this city?

 

An Impossible task because this is highly spiritual language spoken here.

 

The only one worthy of this task is our Sovereign Lord Jesus Christ and He is the one who places this mark or eternal SEAL upon the heads of all chosen believers.

 

Yes, chosen elected believers will mourn and sigh at all the abominations that are done within the midst of this spiritual city of Jerusalem, which is God’s global and corporate church turned spiritual harlot at the very end of time because of the abomination of desolation of Satan’s religious counterfeit army of Gog and Magog (Revelation 20:7-8) invading and ruling in her.

 

The man clothed with linen, which had the writer’s inkhorn by His side is indeed referring to the pre-incarnated Lord and Saviour Jesus. Reference verses dealing with the man who is clothed with linen are Ezekiel 10:2-7, Daniel 10:5, Revelation 1:12-20. He is Lord and Saviour and the “inkhorn” means a cup and/or an ink-stand.

 

In verse three we read that the glory of God was gone up from the cherub and called to the man clothed with linen, which had the writer’s inkhorn and was told to set a mark in the midst of Jerusalem upon the chosen men of God that sigh and cry for all the abominations and all the wickedness that be done in the Temple and in the synagogues at that time. This is all symbolic and metaphorical language God is using.

 

The mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and cry in verse four speaks to the individuals who have the seal of the Holy Spirit of promise (Ephesians 1:13; Ephesians 4:30; II Corinthians 1:21-22; II Timothy 2:19, Revelation 7:3-4) in their foreheads who are written in the Lambs book of Life by the blessed Messiah who is the man clothed in linen that has the writer’s inkhorn to write the names in heaven.

 

Those who received the mark in their foreheads that sigh and cry for all the abominations that go on within the corporate/organized harlot congregations at the very end of time are indeed the chosen elect of God who are zealous for His holy name.

 

But behold there is another group of individuals who are not blessed with having the seal of approval of God’s Spirit in their foreheads within the global organized harlot congregations in reference to Jerusalem.

 

These individuals make up the majority of the individuals within the congregations at the very end of time who calls themselves true followers of Jesus, but are the two parts therein that shall be destroyed and cut off and eternally judged by God as stated in Zechariah 13:8.

 

The pre-incarnated Messiah who was the man clothed in linen with the writer’s inkhorn speaks to Ezekiel in verses five and six and commands him to go after them through the city of Jerusalem and smite them.

 

The LORD commands Ezekiel to not let his eye spare, neither have any pity. And slay utterly old and young, both maids, and little children, and women. This sounds very harsh to the carnal minded person who makes a profession to be a true believer but is truly not saved and has never been born from above by God the Holy Spirit.

 

Also the pre-incarnated Jesus commands Ezekiel not to come near any man who has the mark, but begin at my sanctuary in verse six. This is very significant that the LORD commands Ezekiel to start the slaughter of the masses within the house of God.

 

This goes in harmony with the overall theme throughout the Holy Bible where Judgment must begin at the house of God (Jeremiah 25:16-18). The lost outside world in general are going to be punished by Christ, but God’s anger is directed first at His so-called people.

 

They have utterly profaned His holy name. And the LORD God is jealous for His name’s sake. God is a jealous God. For His name is Jealous (Exodus 20:5, Exodus 34:14, Deuteronomy 4:24, Deuteronomy 5:9, Deuteronomy 6:15, Joshua 24:19). And He has every right to be jealous for the utter wickedness and abominations committed within the harlot corporate church bodies worldwide and of the outside lost world for Hecreated us to serve His will and to perform His purpose and to be of His good pleasure.

 

This command by God to Ezekiel in his flesh was very grievous to handle, but in the Spirit he was willing and able. Ezekiel agonizes heavily throughout the whole ordeal while they were slaying the inhabitants of Jerusalem with the Holy Word of God that is spiritually compared to a sword (Ephesians 6:17; Hebrews 4:12), and when it came down to only him left, he fell down upon his face and cried, and said, Ah Sovereign GOD will you destroy all the remnant of Israel in thy wrath against Jerusalem!

 

Today, it is so very hard within the land of Christendom to witness the pure Word of God to anyone who is a part of the global corporate/organized church bodies. There are so many different types of denominations of Christ along with their respectative doctrines where most teach contrary to the truth of God’s Word that they because of these abominable spiritual high places have to this current day become apostate.

 

Currently towards the very end of time we are exactly in the same shoes as Ezekiel, Jeremiah, Daniel, Ezra, Nehemiah, Haggai, and Zechariah just to name a few brothers in Christ during the seventy-year captivity of the literal king of Babylon.

 

They were all led away as captives from Jerusalem, the Old Testament state church, into the land of Babylon, which symbolically depicts the whole world in general that lies in complete spiritual darkness.

Question: "What is the Book of Life?"


 Answer:  Revelation 20:15 declares, “If anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.” The Book of Life is the set of names of those who will live with God forever in heaven. It is the roll of those who are saved. This Book of Life is also mentioned in Revelation 3:5; 20:12; and Philippians 4:3. The same book is also called the Lamb’s Book of Life because it contains the names of those who have been redeemed by the blood of the Lord Jesus (Revelation 13:8; 21:27).


 How can you be sure your name is written in the Book of Life? Be sure you’re saved. Repent of sin and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior (Philippians 4:3; Revelation 3:5). Once your name is written in the Book of Life, it is never erased (Revelation 3:5; Romans 8:37-39). No true believer should doubt his eternal security in Christ (John 10:28-30).


 The Great White Throne Judgment described in Revelation 20:11-15 is a judgment for unbelievers. That passage makes it clear that no one at that judgment has his name in the Book of Life (Revelation 20:12-14). Since their names are not in the Book of Life, their fate is sealed, their punishment is sure.


 Some people point to Revelation 3:5 as “proof” that a person can lose his salvation. However, the promise of Revelation 3:5 is clearly that the Lord will not erase a name: “He who overcomes . . . I will not blot out his name from the Book of Life.” An overcomer is one who is victorious over the temptations, trials, and evils of this world—in other words, one who is redeemed. The saved are written in God’s registry and have the promise of eternal security.

My comments:

1 John 2:19

King James Version (KJV)


19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.

1 John 2:19 shows us that the people that “went out from us” are nonelects when they were physically born and its impossible for them to receive the Holy Spirit because God won’t give it to them. 

The 3 types of ground that are nonelects (the wayside, stony places and among thorns). 

(Matthew 13:4-7, Matthew 13:19-22, Mark 4:4-7, Mark 4:15-19, Luke 8:5-7 and  Luke 8:12-14)



While only 1 type of ground are God's elects (good ground).

(Matthew 13:8, Matthew 13:23, Mark 4:8, Mark 4:20, Luke 8:8 and Luke 8:15)



John 14:17


King James Version (KJV)


17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.


In John 14:17, the word "world" are all of the nonelects and God won't give the Holy Spirit to the nonelects.









--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


 Another passage over which confusion sometimes arises is Psalm 69:28: “Let them [David’s enemies] be blotted out of the book of the living.” This “book of the living” should not be confused with the Lamb’s Book of Life. David is referring to earthly, physical life, not eternal life in heaven. The same is true of the “book” mentioned in Exodus 32:32-33.


 God keeps good records. He knows His own, and He has set the names of His children permanently in His book.





Question: "Is eternal security biblical?"


 Answer:  When people come to know Christ as their Savior, they are brought into a relationship with God that guarantees their eternal security. Jude 24 declares, "To Him who is able to keep you from falling and to present you before His glorious presence without fault and with great joy." God's power is able to keep the believer from falling. It is up to Him, not us, to present us before His glorious presence. Our eternal security is a result of God keeping us, not us maintaining our own salvation.


 The Lord Jesus Christ proclaimed, "I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, no one can snatch them out of my Father's hand" (John 10:28-29b). Both Jesus and the Father have us firmly grasped in their hand. Who could possibly separate us from the grip of both the Father and the Son?


Ephesians 4:30 tells us that believers are "sealed for the day of redemption." If believers did not have eternal security, the sealing could not truly be unto the day of redemption, but only to the day of sinning, apostasy, or disbelief. John 3:15-16 tells us that whoever believes in Jesus Christ will "have eternal life." If a person were to be promised eternal life, but then have it taken away, it was never "eternal" to begin with. If eternal security is not true, the promises of eternal life in the Bible would be in error.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 The most powerful argument for eternal security is Romans 8:38-39, "For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord." Our eternal security is based on God's love for those whom He has redeemed. Our eternal security is purchased by Christ, promised by the Father, and sealed by the Holy Spirit.





Hell and the Lake of fire


THE BIBLICAL DOCTRINE OF HELL #4: A PLACE FOR THE DAMNED WHICH DISPLAYS GOD'S WRATH & JUSTICE

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XslbMYLexu4



http://www.gotquestions.org/levels-hell.html


In Revelation 20:11-15, the people are judged “according to what they had done as recorded in the books” (Revelation 20:12). All the people at this judgment, though, are thrown into the lake of fire (Revelation 20:13-15). So, perhaps, the purpose of the judgment is to determine how severe the punishment in hell will be. Whatever the case, being thrown into a slightly less hot portion of the lake of fire is no consolation to those who are still doomed for eternity. Whatever degrees of punishment hell contains, it is clear that hell is a place to be avoided.


 Unfortunately, the Bible states that most people will wind up in hell. “…For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it” (Matthew 7:13-14). The question one must ask is “which road am I on?” The “many” on the broad road have one thing in common—they have all rejected Christ as the one and only way to heaven. Jesus said, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” (John 14:6). When He said He is the only way, that is precisely what He meant. Everyone following another “way” beside Jesus Christ is on the broad road to destruction, and whether or not there are different levels of punishment in hell, the suffering is hideous, dreadful, eternal, and avoidable.

Degrees of punishment for the nonelects (greater degrees of punishment, Revelation 20:12-13, book of works=depends on how many sins you have committed=Nonelects live a very long life on earth but the more they live, the greater punishment in Hell and lake of fire that they will have to face, how much you know the bible, how many false doctrines that you have preached if you are a pastor, elder, deacon, scholar or teacher and more).

King James Version (KJV)


14 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.


15 Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.



Matthew 11:20-24

King James Version (KJV)


20 Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty works were done, because they repented not:


21 Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works, which were done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.


22 But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you.


Judgment will be worse for some than others.


23 And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day.


24 But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee.
John 19:11
King James Version (KJV)
11 Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me (Judas Iscariot betrayed Jesus) unto thee (Pilate) hath the greater sin.
John 19:11 tells us that some sins are greater than others.
3.2 Degrees of Sin



The Church Is One. False Prophets Will Pay - Paul Washer

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7CGCXFp5Bs


Are there different levels of hell and degrees of sin?
by Ryan Turner and Chad Ressler




Biblically, there seems to be definite teaching that there are different levels of hell - at least in the sense that there are various degrees of punishment.  The Bible does not specifically mention higher or lower levels of hell in the location sense, but it does allude to degrees of punishment and sins:




1. More Tolerance for Certain Sins




A. Matthew 10:15, "Truly I say to you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city."




B. Matthew 11:23-24, “And you, Capernaum, will not be exalted to heaven, will you? You will descend to Hades; for if the miracles had occurred in Sodom which occurred in you, it would have remained to this day. 24 “Nevertheless I say to you that it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for you."

C. Luke 10:13-14, "Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles had been performed in Tyre and Sidon which occurred in you, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes. 14 But it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the judgment than for you," (cf. Luke 10:7-12). 
I. The implication of those above three passages is that there is a greater punishment for rejecting Jesus than there is for even the most atrocious sins in the Old Testament.
2. Greater Punishment
A. Matthew 23:14, "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because you devour widows’ houses, and for a pretense you make long prayers; therefore you will receive greater condemnation," (cf. Mark 12:40; Luke 20:47).
B. Luke 12:47-48, "And that slave who knew his master’s will and did not get ready or act in accord with his will, will receive many lashes, 48 but the one who did not know it, and committed deeds worthy of a flogging, will receive but few. From everyone who has been given much, much will be required; and to whom they entrusted much, of him they will ask all the more."
i. This passage appears to indicate that the greater our knowledge, the greater our responsibility.  Also, it indicates the greater our punishment if we fail in our responsibility (this is in relation to unbelievers).

3. Greater Sin
A.  John 19:11, "...for this reason he who delivered Me to you has the greater sin."
I. Jesus specifically attributes Judas's betrayal as a greater sin than Pontius Pilate's.



Hell and Lake of fire bible verses
Lake of fire                                            Revelation 20:15
A horrible tempest                                 Psalm 11:6
A devouring fire                                     Isaiah 33:14
A place of everlasting burnings             Isaiah 33:14
A furnace of fire                                   Matthew 13:42
A place of torments                               Luke 16:23


Lazarus and the rich man                      Luke 16:19-31



Extreme Dehydration, rich man begs for a drop of water. 



Luke 16:24


King James Version (KJV)





24 And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.


You would experience about less than 1% of Hell, if you went to a desert with no water for hours dehydrated=having a dry mouth.  I have been to a desert and I experienced what it is like.
A place of everlasting punishment        Matthew 25:46
A place of no forgiveness                      Matthew 12:32
A place of weeping                                Matthew 8:12




A place of outer darkness                      Matthew 8:12


Extreme loneliness with no friends and no family in Hell for all of the nonelects.  God's elects have very little friends or no friends at all on earth.  But they will have lots of friends in Heaven.  While Satan's children=nonelects have alot of friends on earth, but they will have no friends in Hell.


God is the great equalizer.


A place of no rest                                   Revelation 14:11
A place of blackness and darkness forever        Jude 13
A place where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched    Mark 9:48
A place where people are tormented with fire and brimstone                       

Revelation 14:10
A place from which the smoke of people’s torment ascends up forever     

Revelation 14:11

Revelation 20:15


King James Version (KJV)




15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.


Only nonelects don’t have their names written in the book of life.
 
Proverbs 27:20
King James Version (KJV)
20 Hell and destruction are never full; so the eyes of man are never satisfied.

Proverbs 1:26-33
King James Version (KJV)

26 I (God) also will laugh at your (nonelects) calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;

27 When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you.

28 Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:

29 For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the Lord:

30 They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof.

31 Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.

32 For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.


33 But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.


--------------------------------------------------------------------

We all have that emptiness, when we were physically born because we were separated from God by birth. The things of this world will never satisfy us and is all vanity, no matter how much we have. For example: Going to a friend's house for years, but still not satisfied. Buying something new, but still not satisfied and the list continues.  The reason why most of the things of this world will never satisfy us is because most of the things of this world are sins.  The things of this world are temporary and are fading away.  But God is forever.  Read 1 John 2:15-17.

-That emptiness is permanently satisfied, when God gives his chosen ones the Holy Spirit and being reunited with God.

The God-shaped Vacuum: Our Third Part and the Meaning of Human Life 


Everything was good in the video "The God-shaped Vacuum: Our Third Part and the Meaning of Human Life", except the part of the sinner's prayer 2:18-2:50 that does not give the Holy Spirit.  God will only give the Holy Spirit to all of God's elect, not nonelects.  Remember that all of God's elect and nonelects are all guilty and deserve the punishment of the lake of fire.  But in God's great undeserved love and mercy was willing to save some people (all of God's elect).  Better than no mercy at all.

Declaring War on The Sinner's Prayer (Paul Washer)


King Solomon had everything, but he said it is all vanity and will never give you happiness.  Maybe temporary pleasure but that’s it.
Only God can bring permanent happiness.
But majority of the world are going after the things of this world (spending time with friends, family, possessions, money and more) instead of God.  Don't they know all of that except God, is gone once they die? Then they spend an eternity (forever and ever) in the lake of fire…

Nonelects lose everything once they die, all that work for nothing. Then they regret it for eternity.

Mark 8:36
King James Version (KJV)

36 For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?

Matthew 16:24-25
King James Version (KJV)

24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. 25 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.

John 12:25-26
King James Version (KJV)

25 He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal. 26 If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.

James 4:14
King James Version (KJV)

14 Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.

This life on earth is very very short, give up everything for Christ and depend on Christ for your basic needs.  Pray to God before doing anything.

"ANNIHILATIONISM" TO ESCAPE HELL: ANOTHER DOCTRINE OF THE DEMONS

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_O-LMpP6bAg



The bottom was a discussion I had with a pastor I know.


Hell is an English word for the general temporal place of punishment until the final judgment. Hades is a Hebrew word, for a more a resting place of death. It refers to what we call Hell.


What do you mean by "more a resting place of death."?


It is not specific as to a place. It is a more general term but basically they are the same place.


Why do some people use Hades instead of Hell? Is it to make it a different meaning?


Because often they are trying to claim that Hell is not in the Bible but they have to change the meaning of Hades to do so.


And what is the change that they want Hades to be?


Death not a place, but just a reference to death which they claim but is not true.


Hades, Sheol and Gehenna are three different Hebrew words and have a different focus but basically what we call Hell.


Hell=Hades=Sheol=Gehenna


Why is it that Atheists say Gehenna and not Hell? Is it to change its meaning also?


They say it, to change its meaning in order to deny the whole existence of Hell.

Atheists use the words Hades, Sheol and Gehenna that few people know, in order to deny the word Hell which most people know as everlasting fire.


Found this on Wikipedia "annihilationists understand Gehenna to be a place where sinners are eventually utterly destroyed, not tormented forever."


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
http://repent5610.blogspot.com/2013/03/the-bottomless-pit.html


If Satan and his angels have been cast out of heaven, and they have been cast into Tartarus, and they have been cast on this earth, and they have been cast into the “Bottomless Pit”, and they have been bound with chains of darkness, but nevertheless they are still able to roam around and deceive those who have not the seal of God in their foreheads, what does that tell us about the location of the Bottomless Pit?




Of course, the Bottomless Pit is here, on this sin cursed earth. This earth is a round sphere, but in God’s terminology it is a Bottomless Pit.

My notes:

Tartarus=Spiritual Earth is where Satan and his demons are imprisoned right now in the thousand years.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Jesus drank the cup of the wrath of God (Jesus went through Hell, spiritually) when he was on the cross, in order to pay for all of God's elects's sin debts and punishments in Hell.  The top Hell verses that I just mentioned is what Jesus had to go through.  Now you know why God's elects are willing to suffer and be persecuted for Jesus's sake.  God's elects sufferings are nothing, compared to what Jesus Christ had to go through.  Jesus started drinking the cup of the wrath of God, when he said "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" (Matthew 27:46 and Mark 15:34)  Then he endured Hell, the above Hell verses is what he had to endure spiritually.  Jesus finished drinking the cup of the wrath of God when he said "It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost." (John 19:30)
