Saved ignoble

His resurrection gurantees the justification of all

In 1 Corinthians 2:3, Paul says that he decides not to perceive anything among the Corinthians except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.

What does ‘Jesus Christ crucified mean?’

The answer to this question is based on all that Christ is and all that the crucifixion accomplished for us.

Now, the cross of Christ led to a lot of things, such as: the death of the old humanity (Romans 6:6), the justification and eventual salvation of all creation (Romans 5: 18-19, Colossians 1: 15-20, 1 Corinthians 15: 21-22, 1 Timothy 4:10), and the guarantee that God will be All in all (1 Corinthians 15:28).

However, I am not going to focus on these things in this article. What I am going to focus on is the fact that Christ’s resurrection guarantees that all humanity will be resurrected. In fact, Christ’s resurrection IS our resurrection!

There were those among the Corinthians that did not believe in the resurrection. These are the people Paul was talking to in 1 Corinthians 15: 12-19. I encourage you to read all of these verses but I am going to focus on two here.

1. Now if there is no resurrection of the dead, neither has Christ been roused (1 Corinthians 15:13).
2. For, if the dead are not being roused, neither has Christ been roused (1 Corinthians 15:16).

Do you get what Paul is saying here?

He is saying that if the ‘died ones’ will not be resurrected then Christ was not resurrected. Paul is not saying that Christ was resurrected and then ‘some, but not all’ of those that died or the ‘died ones’ would be resurrected.

No! Paul is saying that Christ’s resurrection is a guarantee that those that have died will be resurrected. He is saying that the resurrection of the ‘died ones’ is proof that Christ was resurrected. Without the resurrection of humanity, Christ was not resurrected. That is how closely we are related to Christ’s resurrection.

In essence, Christ’s resurrection is our resurrection. That is why Paul says in Colossians 2:13 that Jesus vivifies us together jointly with Him…

In Romans 6: 4-7, Paul says we were entombed together with Christ, planted in His death, and that we shall be of the resurrection. You see, that is what it means to know Christ crucified: that we died with Him and will share in His glory. He accomplished this, not us.

Religion denies Paul’s word because they say that humanity is resurrected and saved apart from Christ. They say Christ was resurrected but it is up to humanity to save themselves by their own faith, acts, or rule following. This is not what Paul says. Paul says that all humanity is in Christ and participates in His death and resurrection.

Some come to this realization now and have an early, special salvation. However, many have to go through judgement and some even through the lake of fire before they realize the reality of what Christ has accomplished for them.

…God, Who is the Saviour of all mankind, especially of believers (1 Timothy 4:10).

Read Romans 5: 18-19 to prove that all humanity is guaranteed eventual justification and immortal life. Yes, many will miss out on the 1000 year kingdom and perhaps the ‘new heaven and new earth’ ages. Many will face judgement. However, these verses talk about a time when Christ’s accomplishment is complete and judgement and death are over. The parenthesis (all mankind) are my addition. ‘The many’ in verse 19 refers to the ‘all mankind’ in verse 18

18 Consequently, then, as it was through one offense for all mankind for condemnation, thus also it is through one just award for all mankind for life’s justifying.
19 For even as, through the disobedience of the one man, the many (all mankind) were constituted sinners, thus also, through the obedience of the One, the many (all mankind) shall be constituted just.

Humanity is not separate from Christ and His accomplishments as religion tells us. NO, Christ’s immortality is not for Him only and then we must ‘do something’ separate from Christ in order to partake. We must ‘do’ things but all things are of God and He does all.

We all are with Christ and His resurrection guarantees our resurrection. Not only that, Christ’s immortality guarantees all humanity’s immortality. The fact that God is Christ’s all guarantees that God will be humanity’s all.

Grace and peace to you all!

Paul tells of a time when Separation from God no longer exists anywhere

The apostle Paul completes the word of God as mentioned in Colossians 1: 25. How could this be when some letters were penned at a later date?

Well, this is because Paul gives the deepest truth of scripture. He reveals what the glorified Christ gave only to him to dispense to the nations. Paul was given the furthest truths that occur at the end of the ages. In that sense, Paul completes the word of God.

You see, one of the reasons religious people believe that a person will be separate from God forever is because they mistake an age or a period of time for eternity. However, Paul goes the furthest in time. He goes to a time when the ages are complete, when judgement and separation from God are no more. Paul is acquainted with a time in which every creature created by God through Christ is reconciled to God through the blood of the cross (Colossians 1:20).

The Christian says that many will miss out on the Millennial Kingdom. True. But this kingdom lasts for a 1000 years. What happens after?

The Christian says that many will miss the new heavens and the new earth because they are cast into the lake of fire. True. But what happens after the lake of fire is abolished (1 Corinthians 15:27)?

Paul answers what happens after all of this in his letter to the Colossians. I am going to focus on Colossians 1: 15-20.

15 Who is the Image of the invisible God, Firstborn of every creature,
16 for in Him is all created, that in the heavens and that on the earth, the visible and the invisible, whether thrones, or lordships, or sovereignties, or authorities, all is created through Him and for Him,
17 and He is before all, and all has its cohesion in Him.
18 And He is the Head of the body, the ecclesia, Who is Sovereign, Firstborn from among the dead, that in all He may be becoming first,
19 for in Him the entire complement delights to dwell,
20 and through Him to reconcile all to Him (making peace through the blood of His cross), through Him, whether those on the earth or those in the heavens.

In these verses of scripture, Paul makes it obvious that he is talking about every creature ever created. First, he actually says ‘every creature’ and then discusses the visible and the invisible. What creature doesn’t fit into the ‘visible and the invisible?’ That’s everyone!

Then, Paul includes thrones, lordships, sovereignties, and authorities. He says that all of these are created through Him, for Him, and have its cohesion in Him. Now, I want to compare Ephesians 6:12 to show who exactly is included in this group:

12 for it is not ours to wrestle with blood and flesh, but with the sovereignties, with the authorities, with the world-mights of this darkness, with the spiritual forces of wickedness among the celestials.

–Ephesians 6:12

Do you see that the same words are used in Ephesians 6:12 and Colossians 1:16? This means that the spiritual forces of wickedness among the celestials are included in the ‘visible and invisible’ and the thrones, lordships, sovereignties, and authorities that are created through Him, for Him, and have their cohesion in Him.

God created these beings for a purpose and they are included in all creation.

Now, here is the shocker! Something that religion lies about and tries to make these scriptures mean something different. In verses 15-17 in Colossians, Paul establishes the ALL created by God through Christ. It includes everyone that is ‘visible and invisible’ and every sovereignty, authority, lordship, and throne…even the wicked ones.

That’s you, me, every spiritual entity, and every creature ever created. This is the ‘ALL’ of the context.

Then, in Colossians 1:20, Paul says that this very same ‘ALL’ will be reconciled to God through the blood of the cross. See, the religious people of Christianity have no problem understanding the ‘ALL’ in verses 15-17, but they ignore the ‘ALL’ when it comes to their reconciliation through the blood of the cross.

However, Paul clearly states in these verses that the same ‘ALL’ created by God through Christ are the exact same ‘ALL’ reconciled to God through the blood of the cross.

Scriptural proof that God plans Disobedience to Accomplish His Purpose

False Free-will proof #1: The disobedience of man proves human free-will

Many people say that Adam and Eve made a free will choice in the garden. Why? Scripture does not say that God gave them or anyone a free-will. So, what leads a person to that conclusion?

The common answer: The proof that God gave Adam and Eve free-will is in the fact that they DISOBEYED God’s command to not eat of the tree. Okay, fair enough but does this prove human free-will?

What if I can find one instance in scripture where God intends for a human TO DO THE EXACT OPPOSITE of what He said He wants them to do? What if I could find multiple instances of this? If scripture shows that God plans and executes human disobedience in order for humans to go against what He instructs them to do or not to do, then what would that prove?

It would prove that human disobedience does not prove human free-will. Quite the opposite in fact.

Acts 4: 27-28

For of a truth, in this city were gathered against Thy holy Boy Jesus, Whom Thou doest annoint, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, together with the nations and the peoples of Israel, to do whatever Thy hand and Thy counsel designates beforehand to occur. – Concordant Literal

Herod, Pilate, those of the nations, people of Israel all had a hand in killing Jesus. Did these people disobey God in killing His Son?

Of Course! It’s the greatest act of disobedience of all time. They murdered God’s Son and not only does this break God’s stated commandment but it shows utter and complete hatred of God’s stated will.

These people obviously exercised their free-will to disobey God so greatly, right?

Not so fast! Look at verse 28 that says these people did this not because of their free-will choice to disobey God….no…doesn’t say that. It does say that they did what the counsel of God designates beforehand to occur. If God determined beforehand for this to occur, then Pilate, Herod, the gentiles, and the Jews were not free to do anything else.

These evil doers made a choice and they will be judged and eventually corrected. However, their choice was the necessary action that God chose to bring His own Son to the cross in order to save humanity.

Without this act of evil, Jesus would not have gone to the cross and therefore nobody would be saved. The disobedience of Pilate, Herod, the Jews, and gents was part of God’s plan as much as the cross. It was the necessary means to bring about the cross.

This disobedience was part of God’s plan and NOT an exercise of human free will. In fact, these evil doers did exactly what God had planned for them to do from the beginning.

Genesis 50:20

You devised evil against me, yet Elohim, He devised it for good in order to accomplish, as at this day, to preserve many people alive.

Joseph’s older siblings sold their little brother into slavery after they plotting to kill him. Then, they lied to their father about it. The father of Joseph and his brothers was none other than Israel himself. I’ll get to why that is important in a moment.

Many of you know the story of Joseph, but I encourage you to read it in Genesis, if you have not.

Here is a very brief summary: Joseph’s brothers were jealous of him and conspired to kill him. At the last moment, they ended up selling their little brother to the Ishmaelites. Years past and Joseph became a very powerful man in Egypt as Pharaoh put him in charge of rationing food during a great famine. Israel sent his son’s to Egypt to get food because the whole family was starving. Remember I said I’d get back to how important Israel is…well, Joseph ended up saving the lives of Israel and that entire family, including his brothers which became the tribes of Israel. Israel is God’s chosen people and through whom our Savior would come. Joseph saved these people…without him, no Savior.

So…was it God’s plan to raise Joseph to power in order to save Israel? Absolutely it was as Joseph explicitly states in Genesis 50:20.

Now…the money question: Would Joseph had risen to power if his brothers didn’t sell him to the Ishmaelites after planning to kill him? If the brothers returned to Israel with Joseph on that day and life continued as normal, would Joseph have been in Egypt in position to save his brothers and all of Israel?

Of course not!

Now, we all know God can do what He wants in any way He wants. However, He chose to use the sin of the brothers in order to raise Joseph to power in order to save the very ones that sold him into slavery.

Here, we have another example of how disobedience was God’s intention in order to fulfill His purpose. Joseph’s brothers did not have a free will, they did exactly what God planned for them to do. Joseph’s own words:

“You devised evil against me, yet Elohim, He devised it for good in order to accomplish, as at this day, to preserve many people alive.”

You see, the evil that the brothers committed was devised by God in order to fulfill the Almighty’s purpose of saving Israel. God planned Joseph’s brothers to do what they did and it was good because it fulfilled His purpose. It was still an evil choice committed by the siblings but it was not a free choice. God planned it on purpose.

Disobedience does not prove ‘human free-will.’

Judas Iscariot

Another example in scripture of God planning man’s disobedience is Judas Iscariot. Can we all agree that it was God’s intention for His Son to die on the cross to save humanity? Well then, Judas was necessary in accomplishing that purpose.

Was Judas using his ‘free-will’ to betray Jesus or was he acting out what was purposed in order to fulfill scripture?

Jesus Christ Himself said in the upper room during the Last Supper, “He who is masticating bread with Me lifts up his heel against me.” –John 13:18

Jesus was quoting Psalm 41:9 when referring to Judas and said that “I am aware whom I choose, but that the scripture may be fulfilled.”

Judas disobeyed God and God’s Son. Yet, the book of Psalms was written years before Judas was even born. So, scripture must be fulfilled as Jesus said and scripture says that Judas would do what he did. Therefore, this disobedience was planned to happen by God before Judas was even born in order for Christ to get to the cross. God planned it, Jesus knew, Judas had no free will to do otherwise.

In fact, Jesus said to Judas, “What you are doing, do more quickly.” Judas had to betray Jesus because it was written in scripture, therefore planned by God. In addition to this, Satan entered Judas to make him commit this act. How can a man be free if Satan is influencing him?

Once again, God planned disobedience in order to fulfill His purpose. God makes decisions beforehand and then works out all the circumstances of the life of Judas in order for him to make the decision when the time was right.

Disobedience does not prove ‘human free will.’ Quite the opposite. It fulfills God’s purpose.

The Law

God wrote the Law for Israel on stone tablets and demanded that it be followed. We all know that Israel failed miserably at following this law and nobody could do it perfectly. In addition, the law of Israel extended in much more detail than just the 10 commandments. Law was a part of everything they did.

So, even though God wrote out the law and demanded it to be followed…was it the Almighty’s intention for it to actually be followed?

NO! The apostle Paul says that it is impossible for humans to follow the law to free us (Romans 3:20, Romans 8:3).

Even though the law is righteous, God never intended for Israel to do it. Even though God said to do it, He planned from the beginning that they would fall short. God did this in order to show Israel that they needed a Messiah, to show us that we need a Savior.

The just verdict of God, because, by works of law, no flesh at all should be justified in His sight, for through law is the recognition of sin. – Romans 3:20

The law is still God’s standard and He can demand it but the purpose of law gives the recognition of sin so that we see the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. The law WAS NOT given for man to fulfill in order to prove their own righteousness.

God instructed man to follow the law but intended that they fall short. He did this in order to prepare man for the only One that could fulfill the law, Christ Jesus.

So that the law has become our escort to Christ, that we may be justified by faith. – Galatians 3:24

Thus, God commanded Israel to follow a law He knew they couldn’t in order to show them the Savior. God still demands righteousness, however, this righteousness comes through Jesus Christ. Something Israel and humanity wouldn’t understand unless they failed at law and committed sin.

If we or Israel could have fulfilled the law like God demanded, then there would be no need for Jesus. God planned for disobedience in order to bring the Savior, the Messiah, the Lord Jesus Christ.

God planned this long before Israel was even born because Revelation 13:8 says Jesus was slain from the disruption of the world. Human disobedience allows God to display the righteousness and love of Christ to the world.

Human disobedience is planned by God and not an act of ‘human free will.’

Romans, chapter 9 reviews in detail that though a man can disobey God’s stated will, no one can ever go against God’s intention. Not one human can do something outside of what God has planned for them to do. I will review Romans 9 in my next ‘free-will’ article.

Grace and peace to all.

Words that God uses to prove the impossibility of ‘eternal’ and ‘hell.’ 

https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/CDkZgp84Gz4?rel=0&autoplay=0&showinfo=0&enablejsapi=0

Is hell in the belly of a fish? Are three days and three nights equal to forever?

Words are important in scripture and without applying proper meaning to these words, God’s message to humanity is lost.

I am going to review a few instances of specific Hebrew and Greek words that are mistranslated in modern bibles to mean ‘hell’ and ‘eternal’ but actually mean the opposite. This can be done with all instances that appear to teach eternal hell, but for times sake, just a few will be reviewed.

1. Jonah and the Belly of the Fish

We all know the story of Jonah trying to escape God and being swallowed by the great fish. I am going to quote from the New King James Version for illustration.

In Jonah 2:6 it says:

New King James Version
I went down to the moorings of the mountains; The earth with its bars closed behind me forever; Yet You have brought up my life from the pit, O LORD, my God.

The word ‘forever’ in the above verse is the Hebrew word ‘olam,’ Strong’s #5679 and it means ‘long duration.’ However, the King James version puts ‘forever.’ This means that Jonah was in the belly of the fish forever!

However, Jonah 1:17 says that Jonah was in the belly of the fish for three days and three nights, not forever. So, we know for certain that Jonah was delivered from the great fish and did what God instructed. Therefore, we know with certainty that he was not in the fish forever. This proves the NKJV mistranslated the word ‘olam.’ It cannot mean forever.

So back to my original question: Are three days and three nights equal to forever? Of course not. Also, Jonah 2:2 says that Jonah was in ‘hell.’ My other question: Is hell in the belly of a fish? I think you know the answer to that.

More importantly, the Hebrew word ‘olam’ has Greek equivalent words that are used in the New Testament which supposedly describe eternal hell. These words ‘aion and aionion’ can be proven to disprove eternal hell.

2. ‘Aion’ and ‘Aionion’ do not mean eternal

Let’s take a look at Matthew 25:41 and Matthew 25:46 in the King James:

New King James Version (Matthew 25:41)
“Then He will also say to those on the left hand, ‘Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels:

New King James Version (Matthew 25:46)
And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.

There it is…eternal hell proven by the onward christian soldier! Not so fast. The word ‘everlasting’ is Strong’s word 166 ‘aionion’ and is the Greek equivalent to the word ‘olam’ that we already determine does not mean forever. However, lets explore the usage of this word elsewhere in the New Testament to prove that it does not mean everlasting.

One of the best ways to determine a word’s meaning is to see how it is used throughout scripture. The word ‘aionion’ is translated in the NKJV to mean ‘everlasting and eternal.’

However, ‘aionion’ is the adjective form of the word ‘aion,’ Strong’s word #165. Aion means ‘age.’ So, how can the adjective for of ‘aion’ mean something different than the noun form? Its like saying that hourly means something different than hour. No, hourly is the adjective form of hour and means the same thing. Therefore, ‘aionion’ is the adjective form of ‘aion’ which means ‘age,’ then how is it translated to mean everlasting or eternal?

Okay, specific usage:

Let’s look at Titus 1:2 in the KJV.

New King James Version (Titus 1:2)
in hope of eternal (aionion 166) life which God, who cannot lie, promised before time (aionion 166) began…

In the above verse, the Greek word ‘aionion’ is used to mean ‘eternal’ and ‘time.’ How can this be? Eternal is the absence of time and yet in the very same sentence is used to mean time itself. Here you see the inconsistency of the KJV translators. They actually have a word mean the opposite of itself in the very same sentence.

If ‘aionion’ means ‘eternity’ then how can something happen before eternity began? Its not possible because eternal is the absence of time and nothing can happen before eternity began. Therefore, this word cannot mean eternity.

Okay, back to Matthew 25:46.

Let’s present this verse in the King James Version:

King James Bible
And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

New King James Version
And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”

There it is…this verse proves eternal hell, right? Wrong. Let see what this verse actually says.

First, the Greek word used in this verse to mean everlasting (eternal) is ‘aionion’ and is the Hebrew equivalent ‘Olam.’ Olam cannot mean eternity or everlasting because elsewhere used in scripture, the account of Jonah in the fish, it represents a period of time. Aionion is the adjective form of the base word ‘aion’ which means age. Based on usage of these words in other verses prove that this word cannot mean eternal. It should be translated as age-long. This also makes sense because when Jesus was on earth He was referring to the 1000 year millennial kingdom and not eternity. Thus, the age-long spans across the length of that kingdom.

Second, the Greek word Kolasis (Strong’s word 2851) is translated in the KJV to mean ‘punishment.’ However, this word actually means ‘correction.’ The deep meaning of Kolasis is defined as trimming bushes so that they grow back evenly or grow back better. This word has a purpose of correction to the one being afflicted with it.

Like a parent correcting a child. It may not be pleasant but it is for the good of the one being corrected. It is not a vindictive eternal punishment with no chance of ever coming out of it.

So, this is what Matthew 25:46 actually says:

And these shall go away into agelong correction, but the righteous into agelong life.

There is no mention of eternal life in scripture as God deals with humanity in ages of time, not eternity. Believers are given ‘aionion’ or ‘age-long’ life, not eternal life.

Are you saying we don’t live forever, Scott? No…of course we do. But, we live forever because we put on immortality. This is discussed in 1 Corinthians 15:53-55. You see, believers are given immortality early so at the end of the ages, they continue to be immortal. Those not given ‘aionion life’ will put on immortality at the consummation when the ‘second death, the lake of fire’ is abolished. This is at the conclusion of the ages.

TWO ETERNITIES?

Another proof that ‘aionion’ and ‘aion’ cannot mean eternal is in Revelation 11:15. The KJV and many other translations say that Jesus will reign forever and ever.

New King James Version
Then the seventh angel sounded: And there were loud voices in heaven, saying, “The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!”

Why is it necessary to say ‘forever and ever?’ Are there two eternities? No. The Greek words translated by King James Version to mean ‘forever and ever’ are actually ‘ages of the ages’…Strong’s word 165. See, we are in the third wicked age as Paul describes. There are two glorious ages to come: The 1000 year kingdom where Christ rules on earth and after that, the new heavens and the new earth age. So, it makes sense that Christ will reign for the next two ages. However, it does not make sense that Christ would reign for the next two eternities.

On top of that, Christ’s reign cannot be forever because 1 Corinthians 15: 25, 28 say that Christ’s reign ends. How can Christ reign forever and ever if His reign comes to an end?

For He must be reigning until He should be placing all enemies under His feet. The last enemy is being abolished: death. –1 Corinthians 15:25

Now, whenever all may be subjected to Him, then the Son Himself also shall be subjected to Him Who subjects all to Him, that God may be All in all. –1 Corinthians 15:28

You see, Jesus Christ reigns so well in the last two ages, the ages of the ages, that He perfects all creation to the point that no creature even needs to be ruled over anymore. That’s why His reign ends. Death is abolished and all creation vivified. Then, at this point, God will be All in all. Christ, with all creation, is subjected to God. Christ cannot and does not reign forever. Therefore, the words ‘forever and ever’ in Revelation 11:15, are a mistranslation just like every time forever or eternal is used to describe life in hell or anywhere else.

Alright, so the words ‘aion’ and ‘aionion’ do not mean eternal, unending, nor forever. Well, maybe there is no Greek word that means ‘unending, forever’ so the translators just used ‘age’ and ‘age-long’ to mean unending. Is this true? NO.

There is a word in Greek that means ‘unending.’ It is Strong’s word 562 aperantos and it means ‘unending, endless.’

…nor yet to be heeding myths and endless genealogies… –1 Timothy 1:4

So, if there is an exact word that means unending, why would God use a word that means ‘age, pertaining to an age’ to describe endless punishment? He had a word that meant endless. Answer: God didn’t use the word aperantos or ‘endless’ because He was not talking about something that was endless. God used aion and aionion to describe things that lasted for an age or ages. God does not make mistakes, translators do.

TRANSLATION ERROR!

I could go on an on with every single scripture that religious people use to prove the concept of eternal hell, but I encourage my readers to study the meaning and context of all scripture for themselves to determine what is true.

Another one and I’ll leave you with this one: Psalms 139:8

New King James Version
If I ascend into heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there.

This verse is talking about God. Is God in hell? This verse according to King James is saying, yes. But, the word is actually ‘sheol’ and God is there because He is everywhere. The only place God is not are places that don’t exist!

Grace and peace.

All is created by God and All is saved by God

A lot has been made of altering DNA by use of vaccines as a result of the Covid-19 scam. Now, debates are occurring in the high school that I work at with regard to CRISPR and gene editing.

Scientists claim they can use gene-editing to prevent cancer and mental illness. Remember that it is the ‘elites’ that cause cancer and enhance mental illness in the first place. Be warry of altering DNA even when it appears to be for a good purpose.

The fallen sons of God that control the world today are pushing this because they want to mess with God’s creation. You can do your own research on this DNA altering and gene editing, however, I just wanted to mention how this was done before by the fallen angels. Makes sense that they are doing it again today.

As discussed before in Genesis 6, the sons of Elohim came down and impregnated human women producing offspring called ‘Nephilim.’

The ‘Book of Giants’ is a apocrypha book that provides additional information on what these sons of Elohim did…It describes how these rebellious Watchers brought secret knowledge and wickedness to mankind and their offspring were hybrid giants that were a perversion of God’s creation.

Not only this…

These fallen sons of Elohim performed ungodly acts on all creation in order to alter DNA and pervert every creature. Chapter 2 of the book of Giants says that the messengers choose two hundred specimens from each of a variety of creatures on which to perform ungodly acts.

Chapter 3 (Book of Giants): Two hundred donkeys, two hundred mules, two hundred rams of the flock, two hundred goats, two hundred beasts of the field from every animal, from every bird for interbreeding.

Chapter 4 (Book of Giants): They defiled…they begot giants and monsters…they begot, and behold, all the earth was corrupted with its blood and by the hand of..

Throughout the alternative media, we have seen pictures of hybrid animals such as half pig and half dog, etc. Now, we have many in the scientific community pushing for gene alteration. Be very careful that the powers that be are not inciting the very same action that caused the flood of Noah.

For even as the days of Noah, thus shall be the presence of the Son of Mankind. –Matthew 24: 37-38

Now…on to the next phase of this article. The fact that every creature ever created will be reconciled to God through the blood of the cross of Christ Jesus. No exceptions!

First, I am going to present a few scripture verses in Colossians. Then, explain how the salvation of all creatures is proven. Though these verses speak for themselves, many want to ignore them in favor of christian tradition.

…Who is the Image of the invisible God, Firstborn of every creature, for in Him is all created, that in the heavens and that on the earth, the visible and the invisible, whether thrones, or lordships, or sovereignties, or authorities, all is created through Him and for Him, and He is before all, and all has its cohesion in Him. And He is the Head of the body, the ecclesia, Who is Sovereign, Firstborn from among the dead, that in all He may be becoming first, for in Him the entire compliment delights to dwell, and through Him to reconcile all to Him (making peace through the blood of His cross), through Him, whether those on the earth and those in the heavens.

–Colossians 1: 15-20

These words penned by the apostle Paul is enough to prove the sovereignty of God and the Creator’s work of salvation for all creation. However, many in religion attempt to explain these verses away or simply ignore them. So, I’ll explain how these verses cannot mean anything else.

1. Paul talks about the Image of the invisible God, Firstborn of every creature (v. 15). This is Jesus Christ. I think most would agree.
2. For, in Him (Christ) is all created. God creates all creation through Christ. Now, does all mean all? Does God create every single creature that has ever existed? Let’s see.
3. God creates THRONES, LORDSHIPS, SOVEREIGNTIES, and AUTHORITIES (v.16). He creates everything the visible and the invisible (v.16). If you can see it, God created it. If you can’t see it, God created it. What is not included here? Nothing. Everything is included.
4. The invisible and visible, the THRONES, LORDSHIPS, SOVEREIGNTIES, and AUTHROITIES include all wicked beings. Compare with Ephesians 6:12 where Paul says “for it is not ours to wrestle with blood and flesh, but with SOVEREIGNTIES, with the AUTHORITIES, with the WORLD-MIGHTS (THRONES) of this darkness, with spiritual forces of wickedness among the celestials. These wicked beings are sovereignties, authorities, and lordships and Colossians says that all sovereignties, authorities, and lordships are created by God.
5. Do you believe that God created everything and everyone yet? Not only that. All is created through Christ and for Him, and He is before all, and all has its COHESION in Him. All of this creation is held together exactly where it should be doing exactly what it should be doing…in Him…in Christ. There is your sovereignty.
6. So everyone of my readers I’m assuming still believes that the all mentioned in these verses means all creation. There is no doubt. Okay, verse 18 says the Jesus is also the Firstborn from among the dead. This means that Christ entered death and was resurrected becoming the First.
7. Now, this is where Christians, the religious, lose their minds. We have established with certainty that God creates all creatures, good and wicked, visible and invisible, every power and authority. Now, what does verse 20 say?
8. …and through Him to reconcile ALL to Him (making peace through the blood of His cross), through Him, whether those on the earth or those in the heavens. Again, just like in verse 16, Paul mentions that God created everything in the heavens and the earth (including wicked beings among the celestials eph6:12), visible and invisible. Then, in verse 20, Paul says the exact same ALL created is reconciled to God making peace through the blood of His cross.
9. So, how can the ALL of that which God created not be the same ALL that is reconciled to God through the blood of the cross? It cannot. Paul makes it clear that the same ALL created is the same ALL reconciled.
10. Hell is not mentioned in these verses as containing the wicked celestial beings because hell does not exist. Paul says all those in the heavens and the earth and includes the celestial beings in this group. This is further evidenced by the fact that in the future Satan and a third of his followers will be cast down to earth FROM HEAVEN, NOT HELL.

God creates all creatures through Christ Jesus. All creatures are held in cohesion in Christ Jesus meaning that God controls all. All these creatures are eventually reconciled to God through the blood of the Cross of Christ Jesus.

God, through Christ, creates all, controls all, saves all. Every single creature.

Now, the order of salvation described in 1 Corinthians 15: 21-28.

Many Christians will say that these verses are taken out of context but they never offer an explanation of how or what they think the context actually is. The context is stated in verse 22, the all that die in Adam. The word ‘all’ is used 12 times in these verses and it refers to all humanity that die in Adam. That’s everyone.

These verses talk about the order of salvation and the fact that the same ‘all’ that die in Adam are the exact same ‘all’ saved by Christ so that God fills the exact same ‘all’ with All that He is. Now, a verse by verse breakdown.

Verse 21: through a man came death, through a man also, comes the resurrection of the dead.

Verse 22: For even as, in Adam, all are dying, thus also, in Christ, shall all be vivified (given Christ’s life). Notice that this verse does not say that all in Christ will be vivified but in Christ, ALL will be vivified.

So verses 21 and 22 set the context of what the ‘all’ is exactly. Paul is saying that the ‘all’ is the ‘all’ that die in Adam. That’s every human being ever created. Consequently, Paul says that the exact same ‘all’ that die in Adam will be given immortal life (vivified) by Christ.

There is your CONTEXT!

Verse 23: Now this begins the order of immortality. Remember that the way death is overcome is by putting on immortality as explained in 1 Corinthians 15: 53-55. The dead are dead and not alive anywhere else until resurrection. The all that die in Adam are saved but each in his own class:

1. The Firstfruit, Christ. See, Christ is the Firstborn of a new creation and He alone has immortality. In 1 Timothy 6:16, Paul says that Jesus alone has immortality. Everyone who dies is dead, asleep, no consciousness. Christ, at the moment, is the only One of the new humanity that has put on immortality.

2. Those who are Christ’s in His presence. The next group to put on immortality or to be vivified by Christ are those that believe in Christ’s accomplishment when He returns. This is the special salvation discussed in 1 Timothy 4:10 and Romans 8:18-25.

3. Thereafter the consummation. The consummation is the end of the ages when the rest of humanity (unbelievers) and all creation is perfected and made immortal. Now, Paul does not specifically say in verse 24 that all are saved but he explains in the next four verses exactly what happens at the consummation…which is the salvation of all. Watch and see:

Verse 24: This verse says that at the consummation, Jesus is giving up the kingdom to His God and Father, whenever He should be nullifying ALL SOVEREIGNTY, ALL AUTHORITY, AND POWER. Remember these sovereignties, authorities, and powers from Colossians 1: 15-20 and Ephesians 6:12? These wicked adversaries in the celestial realms. They will be nullified which means they will be of no effect, gone. So how could they be keeping any humans apart from God?

Verse 25-27: For He must be reigning until He should be placing all His enemies under His feet. The last enemy being abolished: death. For He subjects all under His feet. Now whenever He may be saying that all is subject, it is evident that it is outside of Him Who subjects all to Him.

Sooooooo much going on in the three verses above.

1. Jesus Christ’s reign will end: First, do you realize that Jesus Christ will not reign forever? This verse says that ‘He must be reigning until.’ ‘Until’ means that His reign will be over once this specific thing happens. If I say I will be at the restaurant ‘until’ 7:00pm, then at 7:00pm my time at the restaurant will be done. I just say this because I once had a baptist minister deny the definition of ‘until.’ Christ reigns until all enemies are placed under His feet.

Wait Scott! Revelation 11:15 says that Christ will reign forever and ever! Yes, this is a mistranslation. The word used in Revelation 11:15 is the Greek word ‘aion’ which means ‘age’ or ‘a space of time, an age.’ Not forever. After all, How could Jesus rule for two forevers, are there two eternities? More on mistranslations in my next article. More importantly, how can Christ reign forever when his reign comes to an end….when He reigns until all enemies are under His feet? So why does Christ’s reign come to an end? This is because He reigns so well that every human, every creature (including evil sovereignties, authorities, and powers) are perfected and do not need to be ruled over anymore.

2. Death is abolished: The last enemy to be destroyed or abolished is death. Remember, the Lake of Fire is referred to as the ‘second death’ in Revelation 20:14-15. So what happens to those in the ‘second death’ when all death is abolished? Well, the only way to overcome death is to put on the immortality of Christ Jesus as explained in 1 Corinthians 15: 54-57. Again, what happens to those in the Lake of Fire, the ‘second death’ when death is abolished? They are made alive to be filled by God as you will see next.
3. All are subjected to Christ, the only exception is God: Remember the context of this passage from verses 21 and 22, the ‘all’ that die in Adam. Paul drills home the point that all creation is included by saying that the only Being ‘not subjected’ to Christ is God Himself. That’s everyone. So, Paul says ‘all’ and then defines the ‘all’ again by saying it includes every being except God.
4. God will fill ALL that die in Adam with ALL that He is: This verse in 1 Corinthians 15:28 is God’s end game for every creature ever created. Remember the context of these verses is the ‘all’ that die in Adam (v. 21-22). Then ‘all’ sovereignties, authorities, and powers (v. 24-25). Then, Paul makes certain the his audience understands that ‘all’ means ‘all’ by saying the only one not included in this ‘all’ is God Himself (v. 27). That’s every human, every cat, every dog, every lizard, absolutely everything that dies. That’s every angel, every demon, every entity included in the sovereignties, authorities, and powers. That ‘all’ is the very ‘all’ that God fills up with ALL that He is for God will be ALL in ALL.

Important note: 1 Corinthians 15:28 is the farthest look into scripture ever given. The book of Revelation is the last book in the bible but does not go the furthest into time. In Revelation, Jesus Christ is still reigning. In the verses above, Paul explains of a time after Jesus is done reigning and all creation is perfected.

You see, God being all in all is the goal He had in mind when He planned the end from the beginning. Every mention of death, separation, judgement is over at this point and all is perfected. Then, the ages end.

Grace and peace to you all!

A doctrine that has no basis in properly translated scripture

– Gehenna, Valley of Hinnom (Israel)

Religion says that God loves you unconditionally…based on the condition that you love Him back. If not, then He will torture you in fire for all eternity. The Christian religion says that Jesus died for sin and yet that very sin will keep you separate from God for all eternity. Is this true?

Spoiler alert: eternal hell is an impossibility according to properly translated SCRIPTURE!

We must realize that ‘hell’ is an English word never spoken by Jesus nor anybody else in the bible. The words used to falsely translate ‘hell’ are the following:

1 Sheol – grave, pit, abode of the dead

2 Hades – unseen

3 Gehenna – actually a physical place in Jesus’s time. It is a valley south of Jerusalem.

When was eternal hell created?

In the beginning Elohim created the heavens and the earth…(Genesis 1:1)

No Hell yet.

Okay, God will surly introduce ‘hell’ to Adam and Eve after they sinned. God did pronounce some judgements on the first couple but the worst was this…

For soil you are, and to soil you shall return (Genesis 3:19).

No mention of eternal hell yet. Okay, well the first MURDER will certainly come with the threat of eternal hellfire. Well, we know the story of Cain murdering his brother, Abel. Because of this, God pronounced on Cain that the ground would not produce for him and he shall become a wanderer on the earth.

Cain replied to Yahweh: Too great is my depravity to bear (Genesis 4:13).

In verse 14, Cain continues to explain how this judgement of God is too much for him to bear. If not producing fruit and wandering the earth was too much for Cain, I wonder what he must think of being burned and tortured in fire for all eternity? But, God never mentions hell at all.

If ‘hell’ was the eternal destiny for many and the punishment of sin, wouldn’t God introduce this place to warn His creation right from the start? The truth is that God doesn’t mention it all because it doesn’t exist. The destiny of humans in the Old Testament is ‘death.’

In ‘death,’ the dead do not know eternal torture. In ‘death,’ the dead are not alive somewhere else. In ‘death’ in fact, the dead know nothing at all.

…But the dead know nothing whatsoever (Ecclesiastes 9:5)

Death is related to sleep, unconsciousness, time after time in scripture. Adam would return to the state he was before God breathed into him, which was a state of ‘no conscious existence,’ not eternal hell.

This is not just for Adam. According to Ecclesiastes 3:20, all of us return to the soil. We return to where we came from and we did not come from hell. We came from soil.

In fact, the wicked, according to Psalm 9:17 RETURN to Sheol. If Sheol means hell then the wicked would’ve been in hell before they were born in order to return there. Not so…

The wicked shall return to the unseen (Sheol). –Psalm 9:17

So why is the word ‘hell’ found in the Old Testament and what does it mean? First, we must understand that the word ‘hell’ is an English word and English was not spoken in OT times. So, we need to find the word that ‘hell’ was translated from to determine true meaning.

That word is ‘Sheol.’ It means pit, grave, abode of the dead. It is where people go when then die, the unseen.

One must pay very close attention to the scripture below:

Yahweh Elohim formed the human out of soil from the ground, and He blew into his nostrils the breath of life; and the human BECAME a living soul. –Genesis 2:7

We do not have a soul, we are souls. At death, the breath of life (spirit) goes back to God, unconscious. The body goes back to the soil. Our existence is a combination of body and spirit together and that is why Adam BECAME a living soul when God breathed into his nostrils.

At death, the spirit goes back to God (unconscious) and the body back to the soil. The soul ceases to exist and goes to the unseen or Sheol. Death is the enemy, not hell. This is why God said that Adam and Eve would surely die and why Paul says the wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23).

Sheol as translated ‘hell’ does not mean a place of eternal conscious torment. Hades is the Greek equivalent of Sheol and means the same, the unseen. Death.

– Sheol is not a place of eternal conscious torment. It is the ‘unseen’ where the dead go. It is unseen because the soul ceases to exist. The spirit goes to God (unconscious) and the body returns to soil. At resurrection, God puts the spirit into a new body in order to, once again, become a living soul.

Now, Jesus Christ…

Jesus spoke about hell more than He did about heaven. I’ve heard numerous Christians tell me this throughout my church life.

Well, the fact is that Jesus never once in His entire recorded life on earth used the word ‘hell.’ Hell is an English word and the terrestrial Jesus did not speak English. Therefore, we must deduce that the word ‘hell’ used by Christ in English bibles came from a different word in which He actually spoke. Let’s examine this word to prove that hell does not exist. The Greek word that Jesus spoke was ‘Gehenna’ and this is derived from the Hebrew ‘Valley of Hinnom.’

Samuel G. Dawson sums up the origin of ‘Gehenna’ in his article Jesus’ Teaching on Hell:

Gehenna, the name of a valley on the south and east of Jerusalem…which was so called from the cries of the little children who were thrown into the fiery arms of Moloch, i.e., of an idol having the form of a bull.  The Jews so abhorred the place after these horrible sacrifices had been abolished by King Josiah(2 Kings 23:10), that they cast into it not only all manner of refuse, but even the dead bodies of animals and unburied criminals who had been executed.  And since fires were always needed to consume the dead bodies, that the air might not become tainted by the putrefaction, it came to pass that the place was called Gehenna.

-another picture of the hell (gehenna) that Jesus spoke of.

.

So, the word that Jesus actually used was Gehenna not hell.  Gehenna was a physical place near Jerusalem where trash and the bodies of dead criminals were thrown.   It has nothing to do with an eternal place of punishment.  The people that Jesus spoke to would have known this because this place was used to sacrifice little children to idols such as Molech.  Jesus was speaking of earthly punishments and death, just like the entire Old Testament punishments.  Jesus was talking about a garbage dump in each of the passages that he preaches on hell.  This hell, rather Gehenna, is on the earth and physical.  It is not under the earth or eternal.  Jesus warned the Jewish people of this physical valley located near them.  He never warned them of a place of eternal fire and torture. 

These words have nothing to do with life after death and certainly do not refer to a place of eternal torment.  The eternal torment deception entered the church through mistranslated verses and corrupt leadership.  It is a lie that deceives millions and keeps perhaps even more at an arms distance from God.  I would have to write page after page to fully explain how the word ‘hell’ crept and slithered its way into the bible. 

The mixture and influence of Greek Mythology and Ancient Egyptian folklore is where corrupt, religious leaders learned of hell.  Then, they used the fear and deceit of hell on people so that they could control the masses.  This has been passed down from generation to generation in nearly every religion.  However, nothing, no teaching at all could be further from the truth of God and Jesus Christ than the teaching of eternal hell.  This teaching of hell tarnishes the true love of God and makes him a sick, “love me or a will torture you forever,” lunatic. 

Now, there are objectors who would say that Jesus taught that many would be excluded from the kingdom and will partake in the fires of Gehenna. Remember, everyone in Christ’s day would have known what Gehenna was. It was were bodies of dead criminals were thrown. Gehenna will be active again during Christ’s 1000 year kingdom. Christ warned that people would be killed during the millennium kingdom and their dead bodies thrown into Gehenna, but never threatened them with eternal torture.

It is true that many will be outside ‘weeping and gnashing their teeth’ and excluded from Christ’s 1000 year kingdom. However, this is not eternity!

One of the greatest flaws of Christianity is thinking that when Jesus talked about Gehenna and people being outside the kingdom…that He was referring to eternity. Not so, He was talking about the coming age…His Millennial (1000 year) reign on earth.

The fact is that those thrown into Gehenna are dead and will be raised at the great white throne judgement, some if not many, will be cast into the lake of fire or ‘the second death.’ But, what happens after the ‘second death—the lake of fire?’

Well, 1 Corinthians 15:27 says that Christ abolishes death, all death. So what happens to those is the second death when all death is abolished? They are made immortal through Christ’s work so that God can now fill them with all that He is in order to become All in all (1 Corinthians 15: 28).

This is the only way these scriptures can and will be fulfilled in Romans 5:18-19, 1 Corinthians 15: 21-22 and 1 Corinthians 15:28.

So, those excluded or killed and thrown into Gehenna (hell) are there for a period of time, not eternity. Same with the lake of fire.

This false teaching of eternal hell, I believe, is the number one reason people run from religion.  After all, how can humans fully trust a God that would torture most of his creation?  The answer is:  they cannot.  But, the glorious truth is that God will not torture anyone in hell forever but will save each and every human being.  The scriptures that support this truth are too numerous to count. 

Remember, all properly translated scripture CANNOT contradict.

How can eternal hell be true if God is the Savior of all mankind? –1 Timothy 4:10

How can eternal hell be true if God reconciles all creation (including wicked celestials)? –Colossians 1: 15-20

How can eternal hell be true if Christ saves sinners? –Matthew 1:21, 1 Timothy 1:15-16, John 1:29-30

How can eternal hell be true if Christ justifies and vivifies the exact same all that die in Adam? –Romans 5: 18-19, 1 Corinthians 15: 22

How can Jesus destroy the works of the devil if hell exists for eternity? –1 John 3: 8-9

How can eternal hell exist if Jesus is the propitiation for not only the sins of believers, but with the whole world also? –1 John 2:2

How can God will all men to be saved and work all according to His will, yet eternal hell still exist? –1 Timothy 2:4, Ephesians 1:11

How can God be All in all (the same all that die in Adam) if eternal hell exists? –1 Corinthians 15:28

How about this one…no one is able to say “Lord is Jesus” except by holy spirit (1 Corinthians 12:3) and in Philippians 2: 9-11 every knee celestial, terrestrial, and subterranean…that’s everyone… will say “Lord is Jesus” for the glory of God. Just so you know, a forced confession would not give glory to God…so…

How can eternal hell exist if all creation confesses Jesus is Lord by the power of the holy spirit? Is the holy spirit in hell? Not possible.

In my next article on hell, I will review how people are tricked into this myth by improper translations…with examples.

Grace and peace to all!

It CAN’T mean anything else but that God will save every human being

Do you know what the word ‘especially’ means? This may seem like a question a second grader could answer, however, this word is absolutely butchered in religion.

Let me use it in a sentence or two:

1. We rely on Olivia, who is a lover of all food, especially of pizza.
2. We rely on Mike, who likes all women, especially brunettes.

I’m not going to bore you with the definition, so let’s look at usage here. Olivia likes pizza over all food. However, does this mean she only likes pizza and not other food? Of course not. It says she is ‘a lover of all food.’ This just shows she loves pizza above other food but qualifies the rest of the food as still being loved by Olivia.

How about Mike, who likes all women? His special fondness of brunettes does not mean that he does not like all women, it means he likes brunettes above the other women that he also likes.

I don’t think any of my readers would deny that ‘especially’ singles out a higher preference but does not exclude ‘all food’ and ‘all women’ from the qualified group.

Okay, one more sentence:

We rely on the living God, Who is the Savior of all mankind, especially of believers. –1 Timothy 4:10

This verse of scripture, just like my two example sentences with Olivia and Mike, gives higher preference to believers but does not exclude the ‘all mankind’ from the original qualified group.

In truth, 1 Timothy 4:10 says that believers have a special salvation above the ‘mankind’ that have a salvation. Just like Olivia has a special preference for pizza but qualifies all food as having a basic preference. So it is here. God has a special salvation for believers but qualifies ‘all mankind’ as having a basic salvation.

There is only two groups of people: believers and unbelievers. They both incorporate all mankind. If God has a special salvation for believers, then He has a basic salvation for the other group, which is ‘unbelievers.’

Notice what this verse does not say:

We rely on the living God, Who is the Savior of all mankind, exclusively of believers

-if someone is singled out of a crowd, is the crowd still the crowd?

The Greek word ‘malisto’ is used here and is translated into ‘especially.’ It’s meaning:

malisto (Strong’s 3122) — most of all, especially.

This Greek word malisto meaning ‘especially’ is used 12 times in the New Testament and carries the same meaning each and every time. For times sake, let me just give one other example that proves my point. It is found in 2 Timothy 4:13:

When you come, bring the traveling cloak which I left in Troas with Carpus, and the scrolls, especially the parchments.

When Paul wrote this letter, does anyone believe that he did not want Timothy to bring the scrolls? Just because Paul ‘especially’ wanted the parchments does not exclude that he wanted the scrolls.

This is the same word used for malisto (especially) and carries the same meaning each and every time it is used. The best way to understand what words mean in scripture is to see how they are used each and every time they occur.

1 Timothy 4:10 teaches that God saves believers ‘especially’ and saves unbelievers as well. These ‘unbelievers’ will not always be unbelievers.

Many of my objectors will say that this verse does not mean what it says. They will say that Paul means all types of people will be saved, not all humanity. They will say I am taking 1 Timothy 4:10 out of context. However, you can take 1 Timothy 4:10 in any context you want and it CANNOT mean anything other than the salvation of all.

For instance, even if its just talking about all groups or types of people, it still qualifies believers as having a special salvation and unbelievers within that group or type as having a salvation.

Others argue that this ‘Savior of all mankind’ is just an offering or a potential savior. However, this is not true. The verse says ‘Savior of all mankind’ and common sense tells us that God cannot be a Savior to a person that He has not saved.

This verse in 1 Timothy 4:10 is one of the only verses that is translated correctly in every version of the bible. Some examples below: I believe there is a reason for this.

New International Version
That is why we labor and strive, because we have put our hope in the living God, who is the Savior of all people, and especially of those who believe.

New Living Translation
This is why we work hard and continue to struggle, for our hope is in the living God, who is the Savior of all people and particularly of all believers.

English Standard Version
For to this end we toil and strive, because we have our hope set on the living God, who is the Savior of all people, especially of those who believe.

Berean Standard Bible
To this end we labor and strive, because we have set our hope on the living God, who is the Savior of everyone, and especially of those who believe.

Berean Literal Bible
For to this we toil and strive, because we have hope on the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of believers.

King James Bible
For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe.

New King James Version
For to this end we both labor and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of those who believe.

Okay! Well, what about all those verses that teach eternal hell? I am covering that in a future article. Spoiler alert: Eternal hell is a lie and is nowhere found in properly translated scripture.

What is the one world religion?

Many ask, “When will the end-time one world religion be here and what is it?”

The answer, I believe, is that the one world religion has been established for years already and includes every single institution and religion in the world. They are all a part of it.

As I mentioned in a previous article, the sons of Elohim (fallen gods/angels) instruct our government leaders today. That is why there is so much evil and policies are in place to depopulate and destroy humans from the earth.

So, the end time religion will do the same. These same sons of Elohim will require what’s left of humanity to follow a program of self-enlightenment. Remember, the occult system that runs this world believes in contacting extra-terrestrial beings (gods) to gain spiritual insight. Then, its up to a person to engage in ‘human attainment’ to reach the status of a god.

This occult religion of new age theosophy will come more out in the open the closer we get to the end of this age. In this article, I want to focus on how religion and institutions are already a part of this occult system.

The end time religion is really ‘humanism’ in disguise.

Dictionary

Definitions from Oxford Languages

noun: humanism

1. an outlook or system of thought attaching prime importance to human rather than divine or supernatural matters. Humanist beliefs stress the potential value and goodness of human beings, emphasize common human needs, and seek solely rational ways of solving human problems.

There you have it! Any system that places ‘human action and achievement’ over the divine choice of God is humanism.

Remember in the Garden of Eden…it was the adversary that convinced Adam and Eve to commit a ‘self act’ of eating of the forbidden tree to become like God.

Remember the Tower of Babel was built for people to ‘make a name for themselves’ through human achievement.

Remember that King Nebuchadnezzar had to realize that his ‘self achievement’ had nothing to do with building Babylon before the kingdom was restored to him.

So now, I could review numerous religions of the world and prove to my readers that every single religion is humanism and relies on human action for salvation but that would take forever. However, there is one litmus test that can be used to determine whether a particular religion is human based and it is this:

In your religion, if you are saved and someone else is not…then whatever you did that got you saved that the unsaved person didn’t do, is human attainment (humanism). It can’t be from God because if it was, it would be done.

Islam: One must believe in God and His message (Islam) to receive salvation, pray five times a day, go to Mecca, etc.

Hinduism: Self liberation of the cycle of reincarnation by good behavior in the life, death, and rebirth cycle.

Buddhism: Self acts of suffering, meditation, physical and spiritual labor, good behavior are some of the ways to achieve enlightenment, Nirvana.

Judaism: Be of the Jewish nation and perhaps live a holy and righteous life dedicated to Yahweh, fast, worship, celebrate the right holidays.

Every religion in the world has some sort of deity that requires a human being to do something in order to achieve salvation, otherwise, salvation is not achieved. The proof of this is that all are not saved.

Now Christianity, the religion that claims the name of the one true God and His Son, Christ Jesus. Christians profess that Jesus dying on the cross saved them but do they actually mean it?

Mr. Christian: Jesus Christ died for your sins and saved you at the cross!

seeker: That’s great, thanks for letting me know (then turns to walk away).

Mr. Christian: Wait! Do you know where you will spend eternity?

seeker: With God, you just said Jesus died for my sins and saved me.

Mr. Christian: Yes, but you have to repent and accept this gift or you are not saved.

seeker: So, Jesus didn’t save me?

Mr. Christian: He did but you must repent and accept the free gift in order to be saved.

seeker: Huh, so if I don’t repent and accept the free gift or get baptized and do all the things your church says I need to do, then Jesus didn’t save me?

Mr. Christian: That’s right, you are not saved.

seeker: So, what actually saves me? Jesus or my decision? Because without my decision, Jesus apparently did nothing for me.

The above conversation is humanism whitewashed to look like we are crediting Jesus with our salvation when we are actually crediting ourselves. This is what makes mainstream Christianity ‘humanistic’ just like every other religion. According to this belief, Christ only made it possible for humans to save themselves. Not convinced, see the simple equation below:

_Christianity’s equation_

1. Christ’s Cross + human faith = Salvation

2. Christ’s Cross + nothing = no salvation

What is the most important deciding factor in these two equations?

Human faith…and you can substitute works, following commandments, or anything you want in addition to human faith. It is the human contribution that determines whether a person is saved, not the cross of Christ. Because without human faith or the human contribution, the cross does not save.

I once asked a Christian if Jesus did 100% of the work for salvation. He said, ‘yes,’ then I said, ‘then why isn’t everyone saved?’ ‘Because you have to accept and believe’, he said. Well then, Jesus didn’t do 100% of the work if salvation is not complete without your contribution.

Even if the Savior did 99.99% of the work and you just need to contribute .01%, then its your .01% that is ultimately the deciding factor in whether salvation comes to you.

So, every religion in the world requires HUMAN CONTRIBUTION to get saved and attend to the deity. Christ just made the HUMAN CONTRIBUTION possible for mainstream Christians.

In every religion, the deity in question requires something of the human for salvation. But the apostle Paul says the one true GOD requires NOTHING from humans. Why? Because GOD HIMSELF gives the human EVERYTHING. This ends humanism and religion all together.

The God Who makes the world and all that is in it, He, the Lord inherent of heaven and earth, is not dwelling in temples made by hands, NEITHER IS HE ATTENDED BY HUMAN HANDS, AS IF REQUIRING ANYTHING, SINCE HE HIMSELF GIVES TO ALL LIFE BREATH AND ALL.

– Acts 17: 25-26

This verse ends religion and human attainment (humanism). As I mentioned before, every religion requires the human to do something to be saved. Paul, literally says that God does not require anything from humans (religion/humanism) because God Himself gives the human EVERYTHING. You cannot give to God anything that He has not first given to you (paraphrase from Romans 11:36).

The key to end time religious deception is human beings achieving salvation by what they do and don’t do. Then, whoever controls the religion can determine how these people act. This is how the antichrist will control because the antichrist spirit of ‘self’ is already operating in humanity.

Do you want to know what true salvation is?

True salvation is a fact and doesn’t need human contribution in any way to make it true. WHY? Because its all of God.

Here is the difference between the humanism of every religion filtering into the end time religion and the true, human deficient, salvation of God.

1. The whole human race gets death from Adam, no human choice. The whole human race gets justification (salvation) from Christ, no human choice. – Romans 5: 18, 1 Corinthians 15:22
2. Humans are saved WHILE they are sinners, irreverent, and enemies of God. . . Not, according to Christianity, when they stop sinning long enough or make a righteous choice. This proves its all God. – Romans 5: 6-10

3. The salvation of every creature ever created is planned by God and accomplished through the work of Christ. This includes every single experience of these creatures.

– Colossians 1: 15-20, Psalm 139:16

When we understand that all is of God and He is the Architect of every life from start to finish until He is All in all (1 Corinthians 15:28), only then, can humanism and ‘self’ be defeated.

CONCLUSION:

If salvation is dependent upon human contribution in any way (every religion), then humanism will always be present because there is something a person must do that someone else doesn’t do in order to be saved. Therefore, people will always be subject to whomever sets the rules.

Jesus Christ, however, completes the law for us and gives us the righteousness of God that humanism could never obtain. He did this through His faith, His death for our sin, His entombment, and His resurrection. WE could never do anything to earn or lose this righteousness because it wasn’t up to us to gain or maintain it. Its Christ’s completed work on the cross.

Any belief that says Christ’s work needs human contribution is humanism and an enemy of the cross. God is the Savior of all mankind, especially (not exclusively) of believers (1 Timothy 4:10). The work on the cross is complete.

Now, we still make choices and walk through the experiences of life that God gives us. But everything happens according to God’s will (Ephesians 1:11). God gives a special salvation to some now and salvation to the rest later (Romans 8:18-25).

So on the issue of faith: Faith is a realization of the fact that Jesus saved you. It is not something that makes what Jesus did true for you. No fact was ever made true or false by faith. A fact is a fact. Christ saving the world is a fact (2 Corinthians 5:19).

…yet of your salvation, and this is from God, for to you it is graciously granted, for Christ’s sake, not only to be BELIEVING ON HIM, but to be suffering for His sake also…

– Philippians 1:29

You see, even the very faith you have is given to you by God. It is impossible to believe unless God gives you belief. How about this verse:

Now on hearing this, the nations rejoiced and glorified the word of the Lord, AND THEY BELIEVE, WHOEVER WERE SET FOR LIFE EONIAN.

– Acts 13:48

Crazy truth! Believers are set for eonian life by God, then they believe. God determines beforehand who would believe and in the course of life, these people believe. All of God.

One more for you:

…seeing whether GOD MAY BE GIVING them repentance to come into a realization of truth…

– 2 Timothy 2: 25-26

Where does repentance come from??? GOD!

If God chooses not to give a human faith and repentance now, then He will save them later through judgement. However, judgement is CORRECTION and it is NOT ETERNAL.

For when Thy judgements are on the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness

–Isaiah 26:9

From start to finish we are God’s achievement and everything we do God has prepared beforehand that we should be walking in them. We are not glorified for what we do, we are glorified for what God does in us. This is the end of ‘self’ and the end of humanism.

This truth will ensure that you will not fall for any end-time religious deception. Grace and peace.

For His achievement are we, being created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God makes ready beforehand, that we should be walking in them.

– Ephesians 2:10

Raising ‘Self’ above God is the common deception throughout scripture, religion, and society.

In this article, I am going to compare the Tower of Babel, the first world-leader, and the temple that the antichrist will desecrate. All in an attempt to connect the common theme that will deceive nearly all of mankind.

In researching the Tower of Babel, I have come to a different conclusion. I’ve held the view that it was a portal to another dimension, a ziggurat to worship old testament gods, or perhaps something to do with DNA altering as the fallen ones where big on that.

However, in reading the Apocrypha book of Jubilees, I came across some information on this tower. Now, I know the ‘Book of Jubilees’ is not scripture but I believe many Apocrypha books contain accurate, historical information. Here is the mention of the Tower of Babel.

And they built it; Forty-three years they were building it; its breadth was two hundred and three bricks, and the height was the third of one; its height amounted to five thousand and four hundred and thirty-three cubits and two palms, and thirteen stadia.

-Jubilees 10:21

Now, I’ve done some research and its difficult to pinpoint the exact measure of a cubit in that day, but the most conservative estimate is about 1 foot. So, with that low-end measurement, the Tower of Babel was at the very least 5,433 feet. That is twice the height of the Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world, that stands at 2,717 feet.

– Burj Khalifa (The Burj Khalifa is a skyscraper in Dubai, United Arab Emirates). Tallest building in the world at 2,717 feet.

I honestly am now under the belief, that the Tower of Babel was built simply to get high enough to enter God’s Throne. Human achievement and human willpower (under the direction of the fallen sons of Elohim) to get to the Almighty God. The tower may have been used to worship the gods or do other nefarious things but the ultimate is ‘human achievement.’ Remember they said, “Let us build a name for ourselves.’

Hold that thought.

Next, I want to discuss a mighty King of Babylon. The land of Shinar was where the Tower of Babel was build and this area became known as Babylon (the gate of God). Babylon became the first great world kingdom, one of its kings, was named King Nebuchadnezzar.

Many things have been written about King Nebuchadnezzar but I am going to focus on the biblical account in Daniel, chapter four. Please note in these passages how and why the king’s attitude changes toward ‘self’ and God. I’ve bolded a few words for effect.

All this came upon king Nebuchadnezzar when at the end of twelve months he was walking on the housetop of the royal palace of Babylon. The king responded to all this by saying, “Is not this Babylon the Great that I myself have built for the royal house with the might of my safeguarding walls and for the esteem of my honor!”

–Daniel 4: 28-30

Then, God taught King Nebuchadnezzar a lesson. The Supreme took away his kingdom and made the mighty king eat grass with cattle for seven seasons. Why did God do this?

Nebuchadnezzar endured this so that he would learn that God can do whatever He wants to any human, and in essence, the Almighty can give the kingdom to whomever He wills.

Thus seven seasons shall pass on over you until you know that the Supreme is in authority in the kingdom of mortals, and He gives it whomever He will

–Daniel 4:32

What was the result? Notice the king’s change from ‘self’ to God when the Almighty gave him the kingdom back.

King Nebuchadnezzar: “All those abiding on the earth is reckoned as naught; according to His will He is doing with the army of the heavens and with those abiding on the earth. And there is no one who shall stay His hand and say to Him, what have you done?

–Daniel 4:35

Notice what God did here. The Almighty brought the great king to the depths of despair to the point that he was eating grass with cattle. All this so that king Nebuchadnezzar would realize that his ‘human achievement, self’ had no part in building and protecting the kingdom, but God could give it to whomever He wills.

God can do whatever He wills with people on the earth and nobody can stop Him. That is what the king realized. He came to the end of ‘self’ and ‘self achievement.’

Remember, this account in Daniel takes place in Babylon…the very place where ‘human achievement’ was the driving force behind building a great tower to reach the throne of God. Are you noticing a theme?

One more: The third temple

Many Christians have predicted that the ‘snatching away’ or ‘Rapture’ will occur on a regular basis, basically, every weekend. Well, the building of the Third Temple has been predicted with about as much inaccuracy. Depending on who you ask, the temple will begin construction tomorrow or the next day, if not, then the next day.

Now, I do believe that the third temple will be built but don’t believe that it necessarily will go the way many predict. Either way, its not want I want to present.

I do want to discuss the significance of the ‘man of lawlessness’ desecrating the temple. Now, the temple doesn’t necessarily need to be a grand, ornate structure as predicted. It just needs to have the necessities to resume sacrifices. It could be a tent.

The question I want to address is how the ‘man of lawlessness’ gets to the temple in the first place.

Remember, in the Garden of Eden, the adversary didn’t yet compel Adam and Eve to worship him, but convinced them that they could become like God by eating the fruit, through their own ‘self’ act.

The apostle Paul talks about ‘self-righteousness’ more than any other sin. In fact, he wrote entire letters keeping the ‘flesh, self’ and ‘law’ out of his gospel.

Again, the Tower of Babel and King Nebuchadnezzar was all about ‘self/human achievement.’

There is a common theme throughout the entire scripture of humans raising ‘self’ and ‘human achievement’ above God. In fact, the number 666 is the number of man, that represents all that humankind can do ‘apart from God.’ People so closely relate 666 with Satan and rightly so, but its the number of humanity. This shows how powerful ‘self’ is in Satan’s work.

Satan does not present himself as God directly until the temple. The only way he can get to the temple is through human beings worshiping ‘self.’

As mentioned in previous article, the occult that runs our governments believe that ‘self-enlightenment’ is the key to evolve into greater, immortal beings.

Every religion ever created, also ran by fallen sons of Elohim, promote ‘self’ commitment and accomplishment to reach a specific deity. All religion is man’s attempt to achieve their god through ‘human achievement.’

So, back to the temple. The man of lawlessness opposes and lifts himself up over everyone termed a god or an object of veneration, so that he is seated in the temple of God, demonstrating that he himself is God (1 Thessalonians 2: 4).

In my view, the man of lawlessness can only do this if humanity has already accepted ‘self’ as their own god. Thus, the reason ‘human achievement’ and ‘self righteousness’ has been pushed throughout society and religion.

In 1 Corinthians 3:16, Paul says that ‘you are a temple of God.’ What better way can a human demonstrate the work of the man of lawlessness than to put ‘human free will’ or ‘an act independent of God’ as being the source of their future destiny apart from the will of God. Does this ‘act’ not put ‘human self’ at the seat of our bodily temple and demonstrate it to be God?

The above quote by R.M. ArceJaeger is the epitome of making man his own god and taking the place of the Almighty. Making man a ‘placer’ of his own destiny and his responsibility to achieve it makes God a mere spectator that reacts to the decision of man.

Now, before I review some scripture that disproves ‘human free will’ it needs to be understood that we make choices, we makes thousands of choices a day. However, every decision we make does not prove we have a free will, it proves that God has formed the circumstances for us to make a choice that He has already determined to happen long before the choice was every presented.

For example, in the book of Exodus, scripture says that God hardened Pharaohs heart to not let Israel leave Egypt to worship. It also says that Pharaoh hardened his own heart. Which is true?

Both! God determined beforehand that Pharaoh would harden his heart, then having created Pharaoh and ordering the circumstances of life; Pharaoh made the decision to harden his own heart. Pharaoh just responded to the absolute will of God.

Let’s look at Acts, chapter 17 where Paul says:

The God Who makes the world and all that is in it, He, the Lord inherent of heaven and earth, is not dwelling in temples made by hands, neither is He attended by human hands, as if requiring anything, since He Himself gives to all life breath and all (Acts 17: 24-26).

Paul then says:

“In Him we are living and moving and are (Acts 17: 28).

You see, we cannot give to God anything that He has not first given to us. If you have faith, God gave it to you. If you have good works, God gave them to you. In fact, Paul says that we live and move and are IN HIM. Paul said this to Heathen Greeks proving that no matter who you are, your very movement, being, and existence is in God. Nothing and no one can operate outside of or independently of God.

Any thought that a human being can act apart from their Creator is ‘self’ and feeds the flame of the antichrist system in the end times. The tower of Babel, King Nebuchadnezzar, the Temple, and the human will attest to this.

Its all a deception of raising ‘self’ above God.

The only way to be sure that you will not fall for an end-time deception of ‘self’ is to know that all is of God.

In closing, Christianity is not immune from the deception of ‘self.’ In fact, this religion can be the most deceptive. Most Christians’ teach that its a human’s faith choice or acceptance of Christ that saves them. They claim that Jesus died on the cross to save them. However, if they don’t accept Him by free will faith, then they are not saved.

So, my question is…what saves? Your faith or Jesus Christ? You can’t claim that Jesus Christ saved you if in fact, you are not saved without your faith contribution. This is ‘self’ whitewashed.

Jesus Christ saved all humanity and that’s a fact…through Him to reconcile all to Him (making peace through the blood of His Cross), through Him, whether those on earth or those in the heavens (Colossians 1:20)…and…God, Who is the Savior of all mankind, especially of believers (1 Timothy 4:10).

Human faith is something God gives to acquaint a person with the fact that Jesus saved them, not a work of ‘self’ that makes Christ’s work a fact.

Again, the only way not to fall for any end-time deception is to eliminate ‘self’ from completing the salvation process of God. Christ’s work on the cross was a complete act and doesn’t need human ‘self’ contribution in any way.

Scripture teaches that the exact same all that die in Adam will be made immortal by Christ, in the same way, by no choice of our own. We did not make a free will choice to die in Adam, nor do we make a free will choice to be made immortal by Christ. Adam gave us death and Christ gives us life.

Consequently, then, as it was through one offense for all mankind for condemnation, thus also it is through one just award for all mankind for life’s justifying.

– Romans 5:18

For even as, in Adam, all are dying, thus also, in Christ, shall all be vivified.

– 1 Corinthians 15:22

Notice the scriptures above do not say that all die in Adam and only those in Christ or those that make a free will choice are justified/vivified by Christ. It’s parallel language: the same all that die in Adam are the same all justified and vivified by Christ.

My point? My point is there is no ‘self’ involved.

We are all saved by Christ’s death for sin, His entombment, and His resurrection. Each in his or her own order as 1st Corinthians 15:23 states.

God gives realization (belief) to some now. The rest of humanity will miss the glorious agelong life but is eventually saved through judgement or correction when they too, will come to the realization that Christ is their Savior and God is God.

Ephesians 1:4 and 2 Timothy 1:9-11 says that God chooses believers before time and the world began. If God chose a person to believe, then they come to belief at some point in their life. No free or self will involved. How can someone be free to not choose Christ when God already determined that they would?…and vice versa.

The only way to rid oneself of the deception of self and Satan prevalent throughout the ages of the bible, religion, and society which is now moving to the final end time deception, is to know that salvation is all of God!

Grace and peace to you all!

Why the government elites are uniting the world under a ‘One-World Government System.’

Have you seen it yet? Everything the leaders of the world are doing and have been doing over the years is to form a ‘One-World Government System’ with very few in charge of the masses.

-War and chaos all over the earth.

-Covid 19 plandemic

-Weather warfare and elite caused ‘natural disasters’ called ‘climate change.’

-The planned collapse of American cities and cities around the world.

-Financial ruin

-The list goes on and on.

All of this being done in order to collapse the world system and make humanity desperate to be saved by the very people that caused the collapse in the first place.

What if I told you that this ‘One-World System’ has been attempted before. Not only that, but the very ones that attempted it before are the ones doing it today.

After the flood, the descendants of Noah gathered in the land of Shinar and under the direction of very powerful ‘celestial’ beings decided to build a magnificent city with a tower that reached to the heavens. The people said, “Let us make a name for ourselves.” They united to become one and make themselves great. This tower, most likely a ziggurat, payed homage to the gods of the old testament. Perhaps, the tower was built to escape future judgement from God. Either way, A united humanity under one ruler would emphasize the greatness of humanity apart from God. This is the goal of the mighty celestial beings and the ‘One-World System.’

While there are different theories on the Tower of Babel, the main point I would like to make is that it was humanity uniting ‘to make a name for themselves.’

God saw this evil, descended, and confused the languages of the people so that they could not communicate. As a result, humanity left the city and the tower and scattered over the earth. This tower become known as ‘babel’ which means ‘to confuse.’ God confused their language and scattered them.

Today, these very same celestial beings are worshiped by governments all over the world and are attempting to use ‘confusion’ to build the tower of Babel again. Since God ‘confused’ their plan thousands of years ago, they will use confusion to bring about their one world system today. This is why freemasons use codes, numbers, and symbols to communicate.

The ‘elites’ under guidance of their celestial masters are spreading evil, confusion, and chaos everywhere. Then, they will bring a seemingly wonderful new system to overcome and replace the evil, confusion, and chaos that they have caused. People will love this new system because it will save them from the current one.

Is the war in Israel the start of worldwide destruction that will usher in the total completion of the ‘world system’ attempted thousands of years ago?

Is this the start of World War 3 in Israel and the set-up for the white horse rider? Remember, the false christ is ‘instead of’ Christ, not ‘anti’ Christ. He will appear to be good and will put an end to this war and all wars.

Please also remember, the occult beliefs that drive the end-time deception are about uniting humanity to achieve enlightenment to become higher beings. Its about fallen gods taking the place of the one true God and Supreme over all. Its about these fallen sons of god encouraging humanity to do the same under direction of the antichrist, eventually directing worship to himself.

Look at the adversary’s action in the garden. The serpent did not deceive Eve to eat the forbidden fruit by getting her to worship him. Eve was convinced and Adam partook because they were told that when they ate that they would become like God. It was a call to ‘self’ and to become like God apart from God.

But the serpent said to the woman: Not die shall you be dying; for Elohim knows that on the day you eat of it your eyes will be unclosed, and you will become like Elohim, knowing good and evil.

–Genesis 2:4

You see, God will one day be All in all. He will fill every human that dies in Adam with all that He is. That’s not the issue and its not what the adversary lied about. Satan lied about how humanity would get there. He convinced Adam and Eve that they could get to God by ‘doing’ apart from God. However, God’s way is through the death, entombment, and resurrection of His Son. Satan confuses humanity about the means. We will become like God in the sense that we will be conformed to the Image of His Son.

For even as in Adam all are dying, thus also, in Christ, shall all be vivified (1 Corinthians 15:22).

Now, whenever all may be subjected to Him, then the Son Himself also shall be subjected to Him Who subjects all to Him, that God may be All in all (1 Corinthians 15:28).

The all in the context of 1 Corinthians 15:21-28 is the all that die in Adam. All humanity will eventually have God’s righteousness because of Christ Jesus, not because of ‘self’ as the devil insists.

Now on to religion my friends. Religion, every religion, is man’s attempt to get to God through ‘self.’ Each with their own set of ‘do’s’ and ‘don’t’ that get them in and keeps others out. All based on human performance.

Mainstream Christianity is no different. While claiming the name of the true God and His Son, Jesus Christ, the adversary has found a way to turn Christians to ‘self’ as well. Christians believe that one must make a ‘free will’ choice, independent of God in order to get saved. This is nothing more than salvation by human will power and it is ‘self’ worship.

The only way to escape the ‘self’ of religion is to understand that all is of God, including every aspect of our salvation.

God gives certain people a ‘special salvation’ in that they get in early and are Christ’s compliment to save the rest, not damn the rest of creation (Romans 8: 18-25).

Scripture says that God gives faith and chooses those who would believe before time began. So, if God chose who would believe before time began, then how is a person free to choose something God already determined beforehand to happen? They can’t. Our choices and our faith or lack thereof is a result of God.

…He chooses us in Him BEFORE THE DISRUPTION OF THE WORLD (Ephesians 1:4)

…God, Who saves us and calls us with a holy calling, not in accord with our acts, but in accord with His own purpose and grace which is given to us in Christ Jesus BEFORE TIMES EONIAN…(2 Timothy 1: 9-11).

The only true way to lose ‘self enlightenment’ from the occult and ‘self’ from religion is to understand that ‘out of God and through God and for God is all (Romans 11:36).’

God is not …attended by human hands (Religion), as if requiring anything, since He Himself gives to all life breath and all.

– Acts 17: 25-26

So if you have faith in Christ…God gave it to you.

So if you made a choice for Christ…God caused you to make that choice.

So if you don’t have faith or you didn’t make a choice for Christ…that’s God choice as well.

God saves His creation through the blood of the cross (Colossians 1: 15-20), through the obedience of Christ, all mankind is constituted just (Romans 5: 18-19).

God gives some the faith to realize Christ’s accomplishment now, the rest will have to go through judgement to come to the realization that its Christ’s completed work, not their free-will that saves.

Jesus is considered one of the great ascended masters of the new age occult. He will be put forth as an example of what humans can achieve through enlightenment. However, if Jesus is mentioned and His death for sin, His entombment, and His resurrection is not mentioned as the complete work and only way to immortality for all creation, then it is a false christ.

Similarly, religion says that the cross of Christ is useless, unless their free-will choice activates their own salvation. This puts ‘self’ before the cross and denies the completed work of Christ. In essence, Christ cannot save without the human giving permission. This is self worship just like self enlightenment of the occult.

The only way to know truth is to know that God is God. We can do nothing apart from the Supreme. The occult and religion attempt to prove that we can.

For God locks up all together in stubbornness, that He should be merciful to all.

– Romans 11:32

God, Who is the Savior of all mankind, especially (not exclusively) of believers.

– 1 Timothy 4:10
