The
Bible is an interesting book in that many Christians claim to believe it, but
fail to agree with what is written there!
If
you told a normal Christian that he/she did not believe the entire Bible, many
would be offended!
And
yet, as we shall see, that is true!
In
this article, we will offer several portions of Scripture with which the
majority of Christians may completely disagree!
As
you read your Bible, please notice that the words “eternal torment” never
appear in any major translation!
That
lack of confirmation for “eternal torment” is due to only one thing. It does
not appear in the original languages!
So
why do most Christians believe in a non-biblical concept, eternal torment?
They
have been taught to trust in the non-biblical!
You
may be thinking that it is implied, and we need to read between the lines. However, if we were meant to read between the
lines, I am certain that God would have caused the Bible text to be double
spaced!
The
Bible is explicit!
Jesus
Christ the “Savior of the world” (1 John 4:14)!
None
were excluded from His sacrifice!
Christ
gave His life as a “ransom for all” (1 Tim. 2:6)!
Christ
died “once for all” (Heb. 10:10)!
If
you do not accept that you do not believe the Bible, nor do you believe the
basis for Christianity!
In
this article, we will look at many Bible verses that mainstream Christianity
does not acknowledge, or they try to limit due to the fact that this truth has
not been revealed to them.
Systematic
Reconciliation is based on the fact that Christ Jesus is the Way, the Truth,
and the Life! He is the Son of God and
God the Son!
The
reconciliation of all mankind
is taught in both the Old and the New Testaments!
What
many do not understand about reconciliation is that it comes about in a
systematic manner.
However,
many Christians simply do not believe the Bible!
As
we look around it is evident that many supposed Christians oppose Christ. But, many are also being added to the true Church daily. That is according to God’s plan for the
ages. Some shall come today, others
shall come tomorrow. Christians are
added to the Church systematically!
“All”
is a good Biblical word. Sometimes the
Bible qualifies all, and at other times all means all of all.
All (Heb. kol-כָּל)
and its variations, unless otherwise limited within the text, means all!
All (Gr. pan/pas-pan/paV) and the variations, unless otherwise limited within the text, means all!
None
of the verses presented here are limited!
Ps 65:2b to You all
flesh will come.
How
many sermons have you ever heard using that verse as a base text?
Probably
none!
Psalm
65:2 is an embarrassment to mainstream theologians! And yet, there it is!
Ps 66:4 All the
earth shall worship You and sing praises to You; they shall sing praises to
Your name.
Did you read that?
All the earth shall!
Shall is a future
imperative! It must happen!
Not as some mistakenly teach,
all that is left of mankind!
The writer of that Psalm sys
to God, “All the earth shall worship You and sing
praises to You; they shall sing praises to Your name!”
All the earth shall worship
God (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) and sing praises to God His name!
Will all the earth sing
praises to God for casting most of mankind into hell or the
I doubt it!
We shall sing His praises
because of His salvation, and not because of His torment!
Ps 72:11
Yes, all kings shall fall
down before Him; all nations
shall serve Him.
All nations shall serve God!
All nations
(Heb. goyim- םיוג/Gentiles), shall
serve God!
Do you understand the
absolute power in that statement?
Psalm 72:11 says emphatically
that all Gentiles SHALL worship God!
No mainstream Church leaders
dare approach that verse with any degree of honesty!
Ps 86:9 All nations whom You have made shall come and worship
before You, O Lord, and shall glorify Your name.
This verse is even more
explicit!
It says that all nations (Gentiles)
that God made shall come and worship before Him, and shall glorify His name!
How many Gentiles did God
make?
All of them!
Ps 145:9 The LORD is
good to all, and His tender
mercies are over all His
works.
The Lord (Heb. Yahweh- הוהי) is good to all His works!
We, Jews and Gentiles are
part of His works!
Many teach that His goodness
includes Eternal Torment or complete Annihilation.
That is ridiculous!
Isa 25:8; He
will swallow up death forever (1 Cor 15:54), and the
Lord GOD will wipe away tears from all
faces (Rev 21:4).
If God “swallows up death”
how can it continue?
God will wipe away tears from
all (Heb. kaal-כָּל) faces!
Not just those who now profess, “Jesus is Lord,”
but from all faces!
All shall bow and acknowledge,
“Jesus is Lord” (Romans 14:11, Philippians 2:9-11)!
Far too many supposed christians
proclaim that Jesus is “socially” lord without any understanding of what “Lord”
really means!
“Lord” as used in the New
Testament denotes proprietorship! He has
become our owner!
Rom 14:11
For it is written: "As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to Me, and every tongue shall confess to God."
All mankind shall, one day,
bow and confess openly with joy,
“Jesus is Lord!”
Isa 45:23 (Rom
14:11) I have sworn by Myself; the word has gone out
of My mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, that to Me every (Heb. kaal-כָּל) knee shall bow, every
(Heb. kaal-כָּל) tongue shall take an oath.
Every mean all…with no
exceptions!
Isa 53:6 All we like sheep have gone
astray; we have turned, every one, to his own way; and the LORD has laid on Him
the iniquity of us all.
There is no doubt that all
mankind has gone astray, and yet there is great doubt that God laid on Him the
iniquity of us all!
Christ Jesus took personal
responsibility for each and every sin we may commit!
I Jn 2:2 And He Himself is the propitiation for our sins, and
not for ours only but also for the
whole world.
Acts 10:11-15
11 and saw heaven opened and an
object like a great sheet bound at the four corners, descending to him and let
down to the earth.
12 In it were all kinds of four-footed animals of the earth, wild beasts,
creeping things, and birds of the air.
13 And a voice came to him, "Rise, Peter; kill and eat."
14 But Peter said, "Not so, Lord! For I have never
eaten anything common or unclean."
15 And a voice spoke to him again the second time, "What God has
cleansed you must not call common."
God proclaimed that in
Christ, He had cleansed mankind!
But, Peter never completely
understood.
He is not the only one! Most Christians do not understand!
We still
refer to many whom God has cleansed as common,
defiled, polluted, unclean!
That human penchant is
difficult to overcome!
The last word Christ Jesus
spoke from the cross is reported in English as, “It is finished” (Gr. Tetelestai-Tetelestai)! That Greek word means, “Paid in full!”
The sin debt has been paid,
but in order to receive the benefits of His sacrifice we must openly,
earnestly, and with joy confess, “Jesus is Lord!”
That confession happens systematically!
Acts 3:21
"whom heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things, which God has spoken by the mouth
of all His holy prophets since the world began.
Acts 3:21 contains a Greek
word that is not acknowledged by any mainstream preachers.
That Greek word is translated
“restoration” (Gr. apokatastaseoos-apokatastastasewV).
The reason that no mainstream
Church leaders ever touch on that Greek word is due to its meaning. It speaks of a completely one-sided
reconciliation! It is an agreement by
one side in a certain issue to befriend the violating side by assuming complete
responsibility for the reconciliation.
Our responsibility is not in
dealing with sin!
Only Christ can and has
effectively dealt with sin!
Our responsibility is to
openly and with joy proclaim, “Jesus is Lord!”
Without that proclamation we will not receive the benefits of His
sacrifice for our sins!
The Old Covenant did not work
because it was a covenant between God and a man, Abraham!
The New Covenant works
because it is a covenant between God the Father and God the Son!
Rom 5:18 by
the offense of one judgment came upon all
men to condemnation; even so (in like manner) by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of
life.
Many teach that Adam’s gift
to mankind (sin) is greater than Christ’s gift to mankind (salvation by grace
through faith).
I assure you, it is not!
Christ’s sacrifice is greater
than all sins---combined!
Justification unto life
everlasting is a result of grace through Christ Jesus.
The Bible assures us that
where sin merely abounds, grace superabounds (Romans
5:20)!
Rom 11:32 For
God has committed them all to
disobedience, that He might have mercy on all.
The fact is that God placed
all of creation under the condemnation of disobedience so that He may, in due
time, have mercy on all His creation.
Many Christians do not
believe Romans 11:32!
Rom 8:20-21
20 For the creation was subjected to
futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it in hope;
21 because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of
corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
All who attend Church, shout,
“Amen,” and sing “Church” songs are not children of God. That group is limited to those who are led by
the Spirit of God.
Rom 8:14 For
as many as (Gr. hosoi-osoi) are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.
The Greek word translated “as
many as” (Gr. holoi-oloi) in Romans 8:14 explicitly means the complete, and
does not indicate a partial.
Only those who are led by the
Spirit of God qualify as sons of God!
Rom 11:36 of
Him and through Him and to Him are all
things,
All of creation is out of God
the Father and through God the Son and the Holy Spirit, then back to the
Father!
Rom 14:11 (Isaiah
45:23) For it is written: "As I live, says the
Lord, every knee shall bow to
Me, and every tongue shall
confess to God."
Every (Gr. pan-pan) knee shall bow!
Every (Gr. pasa-pasa) tongue shall confess!
Romans 10:9
that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart
that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
Most Christians say they
believe that verse, but they put conditions on it!
1 Cor 15:22 For as in Adam all
die, even so in Christ all
shall be made alive.
Do you actually believe that?
Most mainstream Church
leaders deny it!
Oh, we freely admit that in
as in Adam all die. That is no problem!
However, the verse goes on to
say the “even so”, “in like manner”, in Christ all shall be made alive is more than most can believe!
And, therein lies the problem!
That verse does not say that
only those that are now in
Christ shall be made alive! It says that
in the same manner as all mankind is subject to death because of Adam, because
of Christ all mankind shall be made alive!
I Jn 2:2 And He Himself is the propitiation for our sins, and
not for ours only but also for the whole (Gr. holou-olou) world.
Many say it, but don’t
believe it!
The Greek word translated
“whole” (Gr. holou-olou) in 1 John 2:2 explicitly means the complete, and
does not indicate a partial.
1 Cor 15:28 Now when all things are made subject to Him, then the
Son Himself will also be subject to Him who put all things under Him, that God may be all in all.
At the proper time, according
to His plan for the ages, God shall become all in all!
The words translated ‘all” in
1 Corinthians 15:28 are all versions of pan/pas-pan/paV. They mean all!
Eph 1:10
that in the dispensation of the fullness of the times He might gather together
in one all things in Christ,
both which are in heaven and which are on earth-- in Him.
The Father is at this time
gathering all things, in heaven and on earth, in Christ!
That gathering may not now
appear to be a reality, however it shall!
The gathering is a systemic
reconciliation!
Many Church leaders do not
understand the sequence or the plan.
Phil 3:21
who will transform our lowly body that it may be conformed to His glorious
body, according to the working by which He is able even to subdue all things to Himself.
The Church does not bring all
into compliance with Christ, He brings all into compliance! Many of us are working at odds to Christ!
This reconciliation is not
man to man, but God the Father to God the Son!
Do you understand and accept
that statement?
Most Church leaders do not!
1 Tim 4:10
the living God, who is the Savior of all
men, especially of those who believe.
This verse is a statement of
fact that most “Christians” do not now accept!
2 Pet 3:9 The
Lord is not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.
Peter did not fully
understand grace, but he was allowed to give out some truth. He was the first to preach Christ to
Gentiles. He wrote that God’s desire is
for all (Gr. panta from paV) to come to repentance.
Isa 46:10
Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are
not yet done, saying, `My counsel shall stand, and I will do all My pleasure,'
God shall accomplish all that
He desires!
His desire is for all to come
to Him!
Rev 21:5
"I make all (Gr. panta-panta) things new."
Do you actually believe what
God says in Rev. 21:5?
I hope this will start your
study of God’s Word.
Please re-read the above
verses.
Do you believe them?
