The Lie

God gets what He wants. God wants us in Heaven we are all going

No quoted scripture but quoted man

Sooooo dangerous

Truth 1

God Is God

Eternal- Psalm 90:2

Psalm 90:2 ASV

Before the mountains were brought forth, Or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, Even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.

All powerful

2 Corinthians 12:9 ASV

And he hath said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my power is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

Everywhere

Jeremiah 23:23–25 NIV

“Am I only a God nearby,” declares the Lord, “and not a God far away? Who can hide in secret places so that I cannot see them?” declares the Lord. “Do not I fill heaven and earth?” declares the Lord. “I have heard what the prophets say who prophesy lies in my name. They say, ‘I had a dream! I had a dream!’

All knowledgeable

Luke 12:7 NIV

Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.

Isaiah 40:13–14 NIV

Who can fathom the Spirit  of the Lord, or instruct the Lord as his counselor? Whom did the Lord consult to enlighten him, and who taught him the right way? Who was it that taught him knowledge, or showed him the path of understanding?

Truth 2

Man failed

6 When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it. 7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.

8 Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the Lord God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the Lord God among the trees of the garden. 9 But the Lord God called to the man, “Where are you?”

10 He answered, “I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid.”

11 And he said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?”

12 The man said, “The woman you put here with me—she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it.”

13 Then the Lord God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?”

The woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”

And the Lord God said, “The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever.” 23 So the Lord God banished him from the Garden of Eden to work the ground from which he had been taken. 24 After he drove the man out, he placed on the east side[e] of the Garden of Eden cherubim and a flaming sword flashing back and forth to guard the way to the tree of life.

Truth 3

Every Person Has Sinned and Requires Salvation

Romans 3:22–23 (ASV)

for there is no distinction; for all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God;

Truth 4

The Only Way to Salvation is Through Christ

John 14:6 ASV

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no one cometh unto the Father, but by me.

2 Corinthians 5:21 ASV

Him who knew no sin he made to be sin on our behalf; that we might become the righteousness of God in him.

Once Saved Not Forever Saved

1 John 1:9 ASV

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

So I find this law at work: Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me. 22 For in my inner being I delight in God’s law; 23 but I see another law at work in me, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within me. 24 What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death? 25 Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord!

So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to God’s law, but in my sinful nature[d] a slave to the law of sin.

I believe there is an initial salvation by accepting Christ as your Lord and Savior and receiving forgiveness.

However, I do not believe that when we are saved we are immediately relieved of fleshly desires. I believe because of that, we must come to father when we recognize our sin.

example- living in house and breaking rules.

I believe there is a distinct difference between a mistake and a change of heart.

Churchinese word - backslide

Truth 5

There is a Heaven and There is a Hell

Jesus spoke of hell extensively

Matthew 25:41 ASV

Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into the eternal fire which is prepared for the devil and his angels:

Matthew 8:12 ASV

but the sons of the kingdom shall be cast forth into the outer darkness: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.

Matthew 25:21 ASV

His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will set thee over many things; enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

Matthew 7:21–23 ASV

Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy by thy name, and by thy name cast out demons, and by thy name do many mighty works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Truth 6

There is a Judgement Coming

2 Corinthians 5:10 ASV

For we must all be made manifest before the judgment-seat of Christ; that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he hath done, whether it be good or bad.

Truth 7

God’s Will is ALL Come to Him

2 Peter 3:9 ASV

The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some count slackness; but is longsuffering to you-ward, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

Truth 8

God Will Always Give Freewill

God WANTS us, but will not force us.

In Summary

Two Corinthians-5-16

16 So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer. 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come:[a] The old has gone, the new is here! 18 All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: 19 that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. 20 We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God. 21 God made him who had no sin to be sin[b] for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
