  • Christianity Has Changed Over the Last 2,000 Years
    Executed to Suppress His Message Jesus Promised to Forgive Judas Introduction Welcome to Volume 9 of Executed to Suppress His Message. In Volume 1 (Suppressing the Words of Christ) we saw how money- funded, institutionalized religions suppress the teachings of Jesus Christ, so they can promote their own particular doctrines and beliefs. And now with this volume, we continue to address these suppressed teachings. ____ The Bible tells us that God is holy. So if we want to go to heaven and dwell with God, we must overcome sin and learn to conduct our lives in a holy manner. But Christian churches have taken this biblical instruction to an unreasonable extreme. Preachers tell us that God is angry, jealous and even wrathful toward people who sin — and He wants nothing to do with those who do not repent. Furthermore, it’s said that God will eventually cause each and every one of these people to be tortured for all eternity in Hell. Therefore, the average Christian believes God is ready to judge and condemn them to eternal torment in Hell, unless they can perform the remarkable achievement of transforming their human nature such that they no longer sin. And this belief has a profound negative impact on our state of mind and personal well-being — because deep down inside, we all realize that as flesh-and-blood human beings, we will never stop sinning. So Christian preachers try to encourage us, by telling us how God has provided a sacrifice to cover our sins. But then after sharing this encouraging information, they always remind us how we cannot rely on Christ’s sacrifice forever: eventually, God will lose patience with our inability to overcome our sinful nature, then He will condemn us to Hell.

  • The Unpardonable Sin
    THE UNPARDONABLE SIN HEBREWS 10: 24-31 Introduction: This may be the most sobering paragraph in all of the New Testament. It pulls the cover off of what Jesus called “the eternal sin” or the “unpardonable sin.” If you can grasp the truth of this passage you will never doubt the seriousness of this sin. Scholars have debated about the audience for these words. To whom were they addressed? When you consider the context of the Hebrew letter, the audience becomes rather clear. These words were addressed to a first century company of Hebrew Christians. They had heard and understood the Gospel. They had embraced what they heard outwardly by being baptized. They were identified with the visible church. But when persecution against Hebrew Christians became extremely intense, some of them were denouncing their faith in Christ and returning to Judaism. They were become what has been called by Biblical scholars “apostates.” They were those who had turned back to an old way of life. In fact some scholars consider these words applicable only to first century Jews who changed their minds about Christ. While it can be admitted that they were the primary audience for this message, like all of the Word of God, it has application in every age. The eternal sin was not limited to the first century of Christendom. Let’s simplify the presentation for the sake of clarity by asking three questions concerning the unpardonable sin. I. WHO IS IN DANGER OF COMMITTING THE UNPARDONABLE SIN? 1. Anyone who is received a good understanding of the Gospel.

  • Rob Bell's Book "Love Wins" Hit the P Shelves
    Hell Discussion from Substance Church Series, "Stumped" April-May 2013 What Does the Bible Really Teach About Hell? “The senseless man does not know, fools do not understand, that though the wicked spring up like grass and all evildoers flourish, they will be forever destroyed.” Psalm 92:6 “Therefore let us leave the elementary teachings about Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance...and eternal judgment.” Hebrews 6:12 eople are definitely more interested in the doctrines of hell after Rob Bell's book "Love Wins" hit the P shelves. Honestly, I've always been fascinated by the doctrines of reprobation. If you want to be sure about two topics, the doctrines of hell and salvation seem a prudent place to start! Keep in mind, thirteen years ago, I was quite obsessive about studying this. As a young senior pastor, I had numerous people in our church who were saying "hell doesn't exist in scripture." Of course, this is a rather dangerous doctrine to get wrong. And it seemed like a small war was breaking out in our church… a church that already lacked unity. In some ways, I over-reacted by writing a 170 page treatise on the doctrines of hell. (The truth was: I liked to research theology). And during that period, I probably read a hundred books on the subject. So, you could imagine that, when Rob Bell's Love Wins hit the shelves, I was rather curious to hear what he said. For a season, it seemed like everyone was hating on Rob Bell – even before Love Wins.

  • Dan Barker: ​​”​​​​What the Hell Is This?”
    Dan Barker: ”What the Hell Is This?” ​ ​​ Greg Deuble: www.thebiblejesus.org When it comes to the question of everlasting torment in Hell, Dan Barker ​ expresses the thoughts of many: “Probably the worst of all of Jesus’ ideas is the teaching of hell. He did not invent the concept of eternal punishment, but the promotion of the Christian doctrine of hell originated with Jesus. In the Old Testament, hell is just death or the grave. With Jesus, hell became a place of everlasting torment. In Mark 9:43 Jesus said that hell is “the fire that never shall be quenched.” In Matthew 13:4142, Jesus gives us a graphic (and almost ​ gleeful) description of the place he created: “The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; and shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.” Hitler’s gas ovens were horrendous and the suffering was unspeakable, but they did not burn forever. The murdered victims of the Holocaust suffer no more, but the victims of God’s anger will scream forever and ever.” (1) ​ ​ Barker goes on to testify that he does not believe in Jesus or in God so, “I qualify as ‘one of those things that offend’ in the above verse. Anyone who thinks it is moral for someone like me a person who has used reason and kindness to come to ​​​ conclusions to be eternally punished for my views hasn’t the faintest concept of morality.

  • Annihilation and Biblical Inspiration: Do Words Mean What They Say?1
    Journal of the Adventist Theological Society, 12/2 (Autumn 2001): 219Ð224. Article copyright © 2001 by Ed Christian. Annihilation and Biblical Inspiration: Do Words Mean What They Say?1 Ed Christian Kutztown University of Pennsylvania ÒWhen I use a word,Ó Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, Òit means just what I choose it to meanÑneither more nor less.Ó ÒThe question is,Ó said Alice, Òwhether you can make words mean so many different things.Ó ÒThe question is,Ó said Humpty Dumpty, Òwhich is to be mas- terÑthatÕs all.Ó ÐLewis Carroll, Through the Looking Glass Evangelicals have long prided themselves on basing their beliefs on Scrip- ture alone. In fact, however, we may argue sola scriptura when disproving the unbiblical beliefs of other denominations, yet when it comes to our own dearly held views, we are not above ignoring biblical evidence that contradicts us. Should Evangelicals ever argue from tradition rather than Scripture, though? Should Evangelicals base their teachings on ambiguous texts viewed by the light of traditional understandings, while ignoring clear texts that point to the opposite conclusion? Who among us would say yes? It seems to me that like Humpty Dumpty, those arguing for the eternal tor- ment of the wicked often assign arbitrary and contradictory meanings to words already perfectly clear in English, Hebrew, and GreekÑwords like Òdestroy,Ó Òconsume,Ó Òdead,Ó and Òdevoured.Ó2 It is true that these words, as used in Scripture, may refer to several areas of experience, and it is also true that they are often used metaphorically.

    “I cannot imagine that there are many pastors who have not heard each of the six questions that Graham Cole raises. Here are serious, careful, practical, theologically-alert answers. This book deserves the widest circulation.” — D. A. Carson, Research Professor of New Testament, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School “Pneumatology has been sadly neglected in recent evangelical the- ology and, when it has been touched upon, it has trended toward either the speculative or the sensational. But here is a book on the Holy Spirit that is practical, relevant, balanced, and useful in the lives of God’s people everywhere. This book provides important grounding for a fuller theology of the Holy Spirit, and I commend it to all believers who are serious about the Christian life.” — Timothy George, Dean, Beeson Divinity School, Samford University; Senior Editor, Christianity Today “Drawing from the well of his extensive and rigorous study of the doctrine of the Holy Spirit, Dr. Graham Cole gives refreshingly clear answers to six crucial questions that earnest Christians invariably ask about the Holy Spirit. The answers are sure to grace the church, because what Christians believe about the third Person of the Holy Trinity will determine how they live. This is an important, acces- sible, life-giving book.” — R. Kent Hughes, Senior Pastor Emeritus, College Church, Wheaton, Illinois “Dr. Graham Cole’s book makes a significant contribution to the life of the church. Uncertainty about the person of the Holy Spirit sometimes leads to division in the local church and often to confu- sion in the life of the individual believer.

  • What Do You Know About the Holy Spirit? by Wayne Jackson
    What Do You Know About the Holy Spirit? By Wayne Jackson A golden lampstand with seven lights was placed in the ancient tabernacle of Jehovah. In the book of Revelation, we find the “seven lamps of fire burning before the throne of God, which are the seven Spirits of God” (Rev. 4:5). The number seven symbolized the perfect Spirit of God. What do you know about the Holy Spirit? The phrase “the Holy Spirit” is found more than ninety times in the New Testament (ASV). One would think that the average Christian would have a reasonable knowledge of this theme, but generally, that is not the case. The Nature of the Spirit A Personal Entity – There is considerable confusion in some segments of “Christendom” over the nature of the Holy Spirit. Some have robbed him of his very personality. The Watchtower cult alleges that the Spirit is merely the “active force” of God, not a person. Mary Baker Eddy, of “Christian Science” fame, contended that “Spirit” is a synonym for “Divine Science.” Parley Pratt, one of Mormonism’s original “apostles,” compared the Spirit to magnetism or electricity. An examination of the evidence reveals that the Holy Spirit is a personal entity, not a mere abstraction. When Jesus prepared for his return to heaven, he promised his apostles “another Comforter” (Jn. 14:16). The term “Comforter” is derived from two Greek roots that signify “beside” and “to call,” hence it denotes one who has been called to the side of another for assistance. The word occurs five times in the New Testament; four of these refer to the Holy Spirit (Jn.

  • The Unforgiveable Sin, Then You Haven’T.” Supposedly, This Should Ease Our Consciences, but Fear of the Unknown Prevents Us from Finding Solace
    Pastor Chris Matthis Epiphany Lutheran Church, Castle Rock, Colorado Proper 5, Series B (2nd Sunday after Pentecost) Saturday, June 5th, 2021 Sunday, June 6th, 2021 Sermon: The Unforgivable Sin Texts: Mark 3:20-35 Focus: God in Christ Jesus forgives all repentant sinners. Function: That they would not despair of their salvation because of past sins. Structure: Story-Applied Locus: “I believe that I cannot by my own reason or strength believe in Jesus Christ, my Lord, or come to Him, but the Holy Spirit has called me by the Gospel…” (SC, 3rd Article of Apostles’ Creed). Grace, mercy, and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen! The words of Jesus: “Truly, I say to you, all sins will be forgiven the children of man, and whatever blasphemies they utter, but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin” (Mark 3:28-29, ESV).1 Have you ever done something so bad that you were certain God would never forgive you? Perhaps even now it hangs over your head and weighs down your heart with guilt and shame. You try to distract yourself and make the worry go away, but in your quiet, lonely moments, you cannot quiet the accusation that you are unworthy and will not be saved. 1 All Scripture references, unless otherwise indicated, are from The Holy Bible, English Standard Version. Matthis 2 Yet Jesus reassures us in today’s Gospel lesson that there is no sin too great for God’s grace.
