Olowa’s testimony

Clarity

Not an attack on a man

I have no ought.

People said repeatedly that I was bashing him.

I’m not.

It got to him and he knows that we’re having this conversation

Why am I doing this?

A: We need to be able to hear and know and defend our faith.

PLUS there’s a main stream movie staring a man who occupies the office of “Bishop”

An awful lot of material to cover - I don’t know that i will cover it all

Supposition: The enemy was strategic in picking him.

One who’d done so much and made so many inroads

heresy.

Any teaching rejected by the Christian community as contrary to Scripture and hence to orthodox doctrine.

Most of the teachings that have been declared heretical have to do with either the nature of God or the person of Jesus Christ.

The term heresy is not generally used to characterize non-Christian belief.

That is to say, systems of belief such as atheism or agnosticism, or non-Christian religions such as Buddhism or Islam are not technically heresy.

The term heresy is generally reserved for any belief that claims to be Christian and scriptural but has been rejected by the church as sub-Christian or antiscriptural.

Transition: So where do we start?

Ultimate it is not his fault.

Whos’ fault was it that Eve ate the apple Adam, cause he wasn’t

Pt: We a

The Gospel of Inclusion is the exciting and liberating news that in the finished work of the cross, Jesus redeemed the entire world to God from the cosmic and organic sin imposed upon it by Adam, the original man.

In effect, the world is already saved, they just don't know it; and, unfortunately, most Christians don't believe it.

says, "...we have put our trust in the living God who is the Savior of all men, and especially those who believe."

Jesus did not just die for Christians, He died to redeem, reconcile, and ultimately save the Cosmos.

Jesus was not a Christian, He was a Jew.

God, however, is Spirit and cannot be confined exclusively to any particular religion including Christianity.

He's not Jewish or Christian or Hindu or Buddhist; yet, He is all of that if we want or need Him to be, while at the same time, none of it conclusively, because He can't be and, in fact, is not limited to a person's or culture's perception of Him.

He loves everybody, He understands everybody, and He has a covenant with everybody-again, whether they know it or not.

Does this not sound good, exciting, confusing and Biblical at the same time?! THIS is the consistent theme through the theological thought pattern of Carlton Pearson.

Consistently, incomplete and altered support is brought in to argue a point…WRONG!

Basic principle a text without context creates pretext

1. Written to Young Timothy - He’s just told him about the great Apostasy

2. It doesn’t fit with the former thought

There is No Hell

this clip is an intro best segment I could find to show his conundrum

https://youtu.be/_AvsSh-VUKY

4:18 “I was angry…” - 9:10 “He was sending too many of my people to hell.”

The ultimate hell is that I’m separated from the presence of God

on record saying hell is what you percieve

Facts about the number of references Jesus makes about hell

its crazy to say that Jesus didn’t speak about hell.

one scholar suggested the most talked about topic by Jesus

Poor Hermeneutic - fancy way of saying it’s sloppy science.

Gehena, Hades, Sheol now they want to take it as a literal place

thoughts about hell

When asked “Is anyone going to hell?

His answer...

Hell is a place you go through, not to.

We all go through hell.

There are people that are so tormented right now-a hell that we created for them or that they created for themselves and they can't imagine a worse experience.

We've created this monster called the devil that lords it over this eternal torture chamber.

None of that is scriptural, if you really study the Bible thoroughly.

If Jesus was wounded for our transgressions, then hell is irrelevant as a punitive thing.

It can only be a corrective thing.

The punishment for sin has been paid by Jesus.

We've been exonerated.

You have to contort and literally remove portions of Scripture to make it work.

Everybody Is Already Saved

“If everybody’s saved, what is he preaching for?”

Pastor Bill Tims

When my detractors interpret that passage, they tend to mean, "No one comes to God except through 'Christianity' rather than Christ."

They think it means "no one can get to the Father except you (they) get down on their knees, confess Jesus, and jump through all the traditional religious hoops in order to reach God."

But that scripture doesn't mean that at all.

[God is] so inclusive, it's hard to believe.

He put the versions of Himself back together in Christ.

There's a version of God that's Hindu.

There's a version of God that's Jewish, Muslim, Christian, Baha'i.

It's so beautiful.

Christians are hung up on "You need to believe in Jesus."

Christians forget that it's not about somebody believing in Christianity, it's about Christ believing in humanity.

He created humanity and understands the diversity of humanity.

He accepts us as we are.

There's a difference between being Christlike and simply liking Christ.

Everyone likes a Messiah.

Everyone wants one.
