Jesus responds at the Court of Salvation
THE ROOM WAS SILENT AS SATAN STOOD UP
Heavenly Father;
It's really quite simple...
Just as the majority
of those who incorrectly claim
the precious blood of your Son
This defendant...
has never ever had the Correct Faith
in the three that testify in the earth
has never been Reborn of the WATER
is still carrying their sins
As such...
The defendant belongs to me
Oh yes, I will admit
that the defendant appeared to do
many great things in your nam… Continue

YOUR GOD ... or ... MY GOD ... YOU DECIDE
ARE YOU TOO...
WORSHIPING A GOD OF FAILURE...
A God
Who always has to go from plan A to plan B
A God
Who is running a "disaster control operation" from heaven
A God
Who supposedly created creatures
HE CANNOT CONTROL
Creatures that will wreck His original plan
The foolish and unscriptural teaching
is that God created a PERFECT archangel
who then SINNED AND REBELLED AGAINST God
But ... BUT,
here is the evil in this teaching:
God did not INTEND,
nei… Continue

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

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

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

Rom 9:20-21
"Nay but, O man,
Who art thou that replies against GOD?
Shall the thing formed (that’s us)
say to HIM that formed it, (that’s GOD)
Why have YOU made me thus?
Rom 9:20-21
Has not the Potter (GOD)
power over the clay (man),
of the same lump
to make one vessel unto honour,
and another unto DISHONOUR?"
GOD IS THE POTTER AND WE ARE THE POT
Could anything be plainer?
GOD, the Potter,
does not owe an explanation to the pot
as to WHY He made the pot the way HE desired!!
And God desires
to make some pots honorable
and some pots DISHONORABLE
Why?
Because He is a mean and nasty God?
NO!!!
because HE has a plan, a purpose,and intentions,
to save ALL humanity in the end
That... IS THE "WILL" OF GOD
Isaiah 26:9
for when thy JUDGMENTS are in the earth
the inhabitants of the world
will LEARN RIGHTEOUSNESS
Without fail...The Lord's "WILL" is always done!!
2Peter 3:9
The LORD is...NOT willing that ANY should perish
1Tim 2:4
Who WILL have ALL men to be SAVED
and to come unto the knowledge of the truth
1Tim 4:10
...because we trust in the living GOD,
who is the SAVIOUR of ALL men,
specially (but not only) of those that believe
Rom 11:32
For GOD hath concluded them...ALL...in UNBELIEF,
that he might have MERCY upon ALL
GOD sent JESUS...
to be SAVIOUR of the entire WORLD
Can JESUS be SAVIOUR of the entire WORLD
and NOT SAVE the entire WORLD ?
Luke 3:6
And ALL FLESH shall SEE the SALVATION of GOD
2Cor 5:19
To wit, that GOD was in CHRIST,
reconciling the WORLD unto himself,
NOT imputing their trespasses unto them;
and hath committed unto us the word of RECONCILIATION
If GOD is the Potter and we are the pot,
how can the pot be responsible for ANYTHING?
Seriously, can a pot be responsible for anything?
GOD WILL SAVE ALL OF HIS "POTS"
Not only will "ALL Israel be saved"
after God brings them back from the dead,
but also all of the Gentiles as well will be saved
Let’s read it again and believe:
Rom 11:32
"For GOD has concluded them ALL
(Israelites and the Gentiles see verses 25-31)
in UNBELIEF,
that HE might have MERCY upon ALL
And if you will continue reading
Romans chapters 10 and 11
you will plainly see that those
who are lost along the way
will ALL be saved by God's plan in the end
How good of a Potter is GOD?
Will He have to destroy most of HIS pots for ALL eternity?
Rom 11:33-36
O the depth of the riches
both of the wisdom and knowledge of GOD?
How unsearchable are His judgments,
and His ways past finding out!
For who has known the mind of the LORD?
Or who has been His counselor?
Or who has first given to Him,
and it shall be recompensed unto him again?
For of HIM, and through HIM, and to HIM, are all things:
to whom be glory for ever Amen"

Phil 2:13
it is God (not man)
which works in you BOTH TO WILL (God causes us ‘to will’)
and TO DO (God causes us ‘to do’)
of His good pleasure" to bring about His intentions
After years of following Jesus daily,
the apostles were not as yet converted
In the evening of the last Passover
Jesus tells Peter:
Luke 22:31-32
"And the Lord said, Simon, Simon,
behold Satan has desired to have you,
that he may sift you as wheat;
But I have prayed for you,
that your faith fall not:
and when you are converted,
strengthen your brethren"
Yes indeed, "when you are converted"
And just when might that be?
Up until the very last day with their Lord,
the apostles all believed that they
possessed the power of free will,
which could enable them to choose
their own destiny, and that they could
and would have the strength of self determinism
and free will to maintain that course
But Jesus told His disciples
that they would all forsake Him
In other words,
Jesus was foretelling of EVENTS that would cause
(even ‘force,’ if you will) them to change their wills,
against their previously stated wills
They of course, all denied
that Jesus knew what He was talking about
Mark 14:27 & Zech 13:7
"And Jesus said unto them,
all ye shall be offended because of Me this night;
for it is written, I shall smite the shepherd,
and the sheep shall be scattered"
The disciples all said
that they would remain loyal
but Jesus said that they would all
be offended because of Him
Was there a reason
for God causing the disciples
to will loyalty to Jesus and then
in the same night to will to deny Jesus?
Does God do anything in vain without a reason?
This was all part of their conversion process
God totally humiliated them by proving to them
that their own will was not free
to do what they wanted, but that
Phil. 2:13
"it is God (not man) which works in you
BOTH TO WILL (God causes us ‘to will’)
and TO DO (God causes us ‘to do’)
of His good pleasure"
to bring about His intentions
In just one night God smashed
the presumed free will of all the disciples
and they lost confidence in their flesh after that night
There are two things that constantly
oppose and change the will of man,
so that it cannot be said that the will
is free to will its own destiny
for even a day or an hour
What are these two factors
over which man has absolutely
no control whatsoever?
CIRCUMSTANCES
and
GOD’S WILL
CIRCUMSTANCES:
God changes the minds and wills of mankind
around the world, a billion times a minute,
through circumstances that "you know not"
which are actually the cause of your choices
and your changed choices
We are often if not most of the time
completely unaware of what actually
caused us to do or say or think as we do
How did all the disciples will
to remain loyal to Jesus no matter what,
at one moment in time, and in the next moment
they all changed their will to forsake Him?
What changed their wills?
Circumstances!!
One moment they were at ease and safe
in the upper room, and at a later moment
they were in the garden surrounded by Roman Soldiers!
Fear was the circumstance
that caused their (un-free) wills to change
So it was the presence of certain circumstances
that caused the disciples to will as they did
But what caused the circumstances
to be as they were to ensure
that they would will appropriately
to fulfill Christ’s prophecy concerning
their denying and forsaking Him?
GOD’S WILL:
Who was in charge of all these circumstances,
which caused the disciples to change their wills?
Why God, of course
They did not want to change their wills
They did not desire to deny their Lord and Saviour
They did not wish to make liars of themselves
They did not want to be shown to be cowards
Well then, why did they change their wills
if they did not wish to change their wills?
Were they free to not change their wills?
No, they were not free
The fear inside of them caused and made
(and yes, FORCED, if you will) them to change their will
And Jesus Himself told them
that they would change their wills,
so how pray tell could it have been otherwise?
God knew exactly what was needed
to make all of the disciples change their wills
God said that they would change their wills
and forsake Jesus,and God was not about
to be made a liar
Peter did not even know what it was that caused him
to deny Christ until the "cock crew"
In our above example with the disciples,
not only did they change their emphatically
stated will, but, they did so against their stated will
Even when they willed to change their will,
they did so against their original desired will
Peter did not want to deny Christ
But he was made to deny Christ
by the mere fact that the alternative (fear)
was greater than his desire to remain loyal
And so, how was he "free" to remain loyal?
He wasn’t
Peter was no more "free" to not deny Jesus
any more than he was "free"
to be loyal in his original choice
Both choices were caused,
and once something is caused to happen,
it could never had been otherwise
Once the cause is set in motion, the effect must follow
God brought about circumstances that
caused, made, forced, Peter to do
what he didn’t want to do
How then, can such a forced will, be free?
Peter didn't will to deny Jesus,
but he was clearly caused to do so
This is an example of how God causes men
to change their will even when it is against
their initial will to do so
How much easier and unrecognizable
are the millions of choices we make
in which we very willingly make the decisions we do,
because they often appear to be pleasant, profitable,
and desirable choices?
This example of the disciples forsaking Jesus is so important!!
Can we believe that Jesus
could have told His disciples the following:
"And Jesus said unto them,
All ye shall be offended because of me this night,
but then again,
maybe not all of you will be offended,
seeing that all of you have a free will
Or maybe this to Peter:
"And Jesus said unto him (Peter)
Verily I say unto you, that this day, even in this night,
before the cock crow twice, thou shall deny me thrice,
but then again,
maybe you won’t deny Me three times,
seeing that you have a free will
that does not need to deny me even once
It doesn’t depend on what I say,
or circumstances brought about by my Father,
or what God declares,
but rather on your own "free will"
Sounds a little silly
when we look at it logically doesn’t it?
Yet this is the contention
of those who believe in "free will"
Maybe Peter will,
but then again maybe Peter won’t,
NOT EVEN GOD KNOWS FOR SURE
Almost sounds like blasphemy, doesn’t it?
It is blasphemy to argue that when God
prophesies, states, and intends
that someone do a particular thing,
that the person is still at liberty
because of his supposed free will,
to not do what God has said
Yet this is what the theory of "free will" demands
The fact that God has a foreknowledge of everything
proves that free will is an impossibility,
True "free will" could alter the future and therefore
God could not have an absolute and true
knowledge of the future
Therefore, it is a grave error to state
that man has a free will that is not
"made" or "caused" to do as it does,
and yet state that God knows in advance
the only possible choice that a person must make
How can one believe
that if God states that a person will make choice A,
that he is nonetheless still at liberty to make choice B?
Let me restate that:
Can God say that you WILL make choice A,
but you can make choice B?
Can God say that such and such, WILL happen
but that it doesn’t need to happen?
The disciples WILL forsake and deny Christ,
but they have a free choice NOT to forsake and deny Him?
God knows in advance that something WILL be a certain way,
and yet it doesn’t have to be that way?
Peter thought he possessed free will:
Matt 26:33
"Peter answered and said unto Him,
Though all men shall be offended because of you,
YET WILL I NEVER BE OFFENDED"
Jesus responded that Peter had no freedom of the will
to stick by such a statement
"Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee,
That this night, before the cock crow,
YOU SHALL DENY ME thrice" (Ver 34)
Peter again responds
from the throne of his presumed free will
and CORRECTS Jesus to His face:
"Peter said unto Him,
Though I should DIE WITH THEE,
YET WILL I NOT DENY THEE
Likewise also said ALL THE DISCIPLES"
(Ver 35)
And the rest is history
When Peter
was confronted the third time we read this:
Matt 26:74 & 75
"Then began he to curse and to swear,
saying, I KNOW NOT THE MAN
And immediately the cock crew
and he went out, and wept bitterly"
Free will? Where? Give it up!!
What about all of the other disciples
who also thought they possessed this power
of free will and self-determinism?
Matt 26:56
"But all this was done,
that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled
Then ALL THE DISCIPLES FORSOOK HIM, AND FLED"
Free will? FREE will? FREE WILL?
Where?
If you still believe man has a will that is "free"
from external and internal causes, beyond his control,
then your arguments are not with me, but with God’s Word
Now for maybe the most profound
and all-encompassing statements in all Scripture:
Eph 1:11
"In Whom (GOD) also we have obtained
(‘obtained’ not ‘earned’) an inheritance,
being PREDESTINATED
(our ‘destiny’ was ‘pre’ arranged by God, not us)
according to the PURPOSE OF HIM
(not the free will, OF US!)
Who WORKS ALL THINGS (EVERY thing)
AFTER THE COUNSEL OF HIS OWN WILL
(not OUR OWN WILL)
