| John Chingford Feb 27 |
The following is a very serious conversation, that I had, with an ACQUAINTANCE. It first discusses his experience, of my expected Death. It then goes on to discuss, real BIBLE proof, that the Earth has only been in existence - for 6,0 0 0 years so far, and definitely not Millions and Billions of years. My Acquaintance attended my hospital, with my wife in 2 0 1 7 to 2 0 1 8, and with others I know. He said: when I came, you were extubated and on a normal ward. The fact you don't remember, is not surprising, given all you had been through. I wrote to him now, reminding him, that The LAST 7 Years of JESUS - will start soon. There are clear Bible Indications, that this may start by September to October 2 0 2 3. This means, that we now have a great obligation to JESUS, to be ready - and preach to those not in the Kingdom, to be saved NOW. I also wrote saying:"After my miraculous healing experience from God, no-one who knows me NOW, can ever say - that God does not exist. If they knew of my experience, then they would have to reject that notion".
The following message, contains 3 people's writings. These areMy messages (GREEN),My Acquaintance (BLUE), and GotQuestions (RED).
I have now told an organisation, that I trust immensely "GOT QUESTION"Bible organisation, to help. You can read what they said, regarding Subject of "Is the atonement of Christ unlimited"?
That is, within: They have also, sent me other recent replies. These I now show you. In this first page, that they gave, I read this heading: "Is Everyone Going to be Saved"? The first question to ask is this: is everyone going to be saved, through the atoning work of Christ? Those holding to a position called Universalism, say 'yes'. Are you a Universalist? If so, carry on reading. If not, then there is still much written here, with answers to your statement. I will now, highlight some important points, from GotQuestions. • "Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth, will awake: some to everlasting life, others to shame and everlasting contempt"Daniel 1 2: 2.
• "Enter through the narrow gate. For the gate is wide, and the way is broad, that leads to destruction - and there are many, who enter through it. For the gate is small, and the way is narrow, that leads to life - and there are few who find it" Matthew 7 :1 3 – 1 4.
• "Many will say to Me on that day: 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name - and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?' And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you, depart from Me - you who practice lawlessness' " Matthew 7: 2 2 – 2 3.
• "Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life" Matthew 2 5: 4 6.
• "They will be punished, with everlasting destruction, and shut out from the presence of the Lord - and from the glory of his might"2 Thessalonians 1: 9.
• "Anyone, whose name was not found written in the book of life, was thrown into the lake of fire"Revelation 2 0: 1 5.Also be aware. Scripture clearly teaches, that not everyone is going to be saved.
Who limits that atonement? God or man? How can God be described in Scripture, as being all-loving, but not have His Son die for everyone. He is ALL loving, to those who receive HIM. Not to those who reject HIM.
If you ask most people, what they have to do, to get into heaven (assuming they partially believe in heaven or an afterlife) - the overwhelming response, will be some form of "be a good person."
Most, if not all religions, and worldly philosophies - are ethically based. Whether it isIslam, Judaism, or secular humanism - the teaching is common, that getting to heaven, is a matter of being a good person. This following the Ten Commandments, or the precepts of the Quran, or the Golden Rule.
But is this what Christianity Teaches? Is Christianity, just one of many world religions, that teach - that being a good person, will get us into heaven?Let's examine Matthew 1 9: 1 6 – 2 6,for some answers. It is the story, of the rich young ruler.
The first thing we note, in this story, is that the rich young ruler - is asking a good question:"What good deed must I do, to have eternal life?"In asking the question, he acknowledges the fact, that despite all his efforts to be a good person thus far - there is something lacking, and he wants to know, what else must be done, to obtain eternal life?
However, he is asking the question, from the wrong worldview. That of merit."What good deed must I do"? He has failed to grasp the true meaning of the Law, as Jesus will point out to him, which was - to serve as a tutor, until the time of Christ Galatians 3: 2 4.
The second thing to note, is Jesus' response to his question. Jesus asks a question in return. Why is he inquiring into what is good? Jesus gets to the heart of the matter, namely, that no one is good - and no one does good, except God.
The young man, is operating under a false premise, that a good person - is able to earn his way into heaven. To make His point, Jesus says, that if the young man wants eternal life - he should keep the commandments. In saying this, Jesus is not advocating a works-based righteousness. Rather, Jesus is challenging the young man's suppositions, by showing the man's shallow understanding - of the Law and human ability. The young man's response, is telling. When told to keep the commandments, he asks Jesus, "Which ones?"Jesus continues to gently show the man, the error of his ways, by giving him the second table of the Law. That is the commandments, that deal with our relationships, to other people.
You can almost sense the frustration, in the young man's response, when he tells Jesus - that he has kept all of these since his youth. He insists that he's been a good person.BUT HAS HE REALLY?
That young man's response is ironic. In saying he has kept all those commandments since his youth, he has broken the commandment, regarding FALSE WITNESS.
If he were truly being honest, he would have said, that "as hard as he has tried to keep the commandment, he has failed to be, a totally good person".He never admitted this. He has a shallow understanding, of the Law, and an inflated opinion - of his own ability.
He has that feeling, that he is not a good enough person. He asks Jesus,"What do I still Lack?"
Jesus then, confronts the young man's self-righteousness. He tells him, that if he wishes to be perfect (a truly good person), he must sell all that he has - and come follow Him. Jesus has perfectly diagnosed,the man's "lack". That is, his attachment to his great wealth.
This man's great wealth, has become an idol in his life. He claimed to have kept all the commandments, but in reality, he couldn't even keep the first one - to have no other false gods, before the Lord! The young man turned his back on Jesus, and walked away. His god was his wealth, which he chose, ABOVE JESUS. Jesus then turns to His disciples, to teach them a principle.
"Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich person - to enter the kingdom of God". This was shocking to the disciples, who held the common idea, that riches were a sign of God's blessing. But Jesus points out the obstacle, of what riches often are, in their tendency - to fuel self-sufficiency.His disciples ask,"Who then can be saved?"Jesus answers, by reminding the disciples, that salvation is of God: "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."
Who then can be saved? If left up to man alone, no one! Why is being a good person, not enough, to get you into heaven? Because no one is a "good" person. No one can keep the Law perfectly. There is only One who is good, and that is God Himself.
The Bible says, that all have sinned, and fallen short of the glory of God. Romans 3: 2 3.The Bible also says, that the wages of our sin is death. Romans 6: 2 3a.Fortunately, God did not wait, until we somehow learned to be"good".This would never happen, anyway.
While humans were in their sinful state, Christ died for the unrighteous.Romans 5: 8.
Salvation is not based on our goodness,but on Jesus' goodness.If we confess with our mouth, that Jesus is Lord, and believe in our hearts that God raised him from the dead - we will be saved. Romans 1 0: 9.This salvation in Christ, is a precious gift,and like all true gifts - it is unearned.Romans 6: 2 3, Ephesians 2: 8 – 9.
The message of the gospel, is that we can never be good enough, to get to heaven.We must recognize, that we are sinners,who all fall short of God's glory- and we must obey the command, to repent of our sins, and place ourfaith and trust in Jesus Christ.
Jesus Christ alone, was a"GREAT PERSON". Great enough to GAIN HEAVEN. He gives His righteousness, to those who believe in His name.Romans 1: 1 7.
To submit a follow-up question, please do not reply to this email, instead please click: From Acquaintance: We can see this, in the likes of Kenneth Copeland, Benny Hinn and Billy Graham. Three incredibly rich pastors from America, who (in my view) have lost the understanding, and meaning of what being a Christian is. But these three people, are idolised by many, yet they fly around in private jets - and have more money than sense. Obviously Billie Graham is dead now, but he died an incredibly rich man. The list of incredibly rich evangelists, is not limited, to just these three - either. So I guess what I'm saying, is that we need to apply the Bible in context. Although obviously it is seminal text, it is not without fault. My reply: Did you know, that my Blog covers MUCH material, complaining about Kenneth Copeland, Benny Hinn and Billy Graham. To prove this, please look further into this Blog. Please use SEARCH key, then enter these names one at a time. You will then see all my writings, about these people.
I can tell you, that GotQuestionscan be fully trusted. I have previously put much research, into checking them out. I now know, that their answers are immense, and much better than mine. This is because their whole lives, are focused on the absolute Bible TRUTH. They have much more time, to answer questions,than I do.
I always need to check writings FIRST, before I approve the writings, and send them all to you. This is in-case, they also mess up. These years now, prove how very close the last 7 years are, after Jesus takes us to Heaven first. The Bible seems to indicate, that these 7 years, may start between Sep to Oct 2 0 2 3. This year.
Acquaintance reply: Well, if the situation in eastern Europe does not calm down. I think you may be right. My reply: The Bible says, that the end days will begin, once China and Russia - can walk through the Euphrates River. I have been informed, that this River has now dried up. So, they now can do it. I have also shown a massive number of other proofs, how close we are to the LAST 7 Years, when Christians will be rescued. Look at Israel, and the soon rebuild of 3rd Temple.
The reply byGotQuestions,is again very good, but I have had to change this one - a bit. That is because the first answer, contained a part of their answer, that I do not agree with.
It starts, by stating these questions: Given by my Acquaintance. 1a. Do you believe in the portrayal of the old testament, which (on occasion), portrays god as a frankly cold being - that will allow non-believers to perish? 1b. Or do you believe in the loving, benevolent figure, who lives in the hearts of all good people?Even if they may not know it.
I choose to believe 1b. After all, jesus said"in my father's house there are many mansions".This I believe to mean, that regardless of what religion you are, or even if you have no religion - if you live a life, in which you are a good person, you will be accepted with open arms.
I believe your reply, covered some of this, but not all of it. 2. Another group of people to consider. What about people, who have Neurological Issues, or Learning Disabilities - who are incapable of understanding who Jesus is. At least understanding Him, in the way we understand Him? Reply by GotQuestions: First though, let's confirm one thing. God never changes. Please see Malachi 3: 6, Numbers 2 3: 1 9, Psalm 1 0 2: 2 5 - 2 7. His plan of salvation, was the same in the OT, as it is in the NT. Those who respond in faith, to who God is, and His plan of salvation - will be saved. In the OT, it was responding to what was revealed, about God and His promises. In the NT and beyond, it is the same. We respond to God's plan of salvation, which was fulfilled in Jesus. God took flesh, and dwelt among us.John 1: 1 4.He died and rose again, conquering sin and death. Romans, 1 Corinthians 1 5.
All who trust in Him, will have eternal life in Heaven. John 3: 1 6, Acts 1 6: 3 1. For Jesus has paid the penalty for our sins. All who do not accept His gift of salvation, will suffer eternity in hell, paying their own penalty for their sins.
MY BELIEF My belief, is slightly different. I do not believe (in context), that God has ever designed, for people to live in everlasting Hell. There is much evidence, in Revelation, and in other books - that show the following is true. They will not go to Heaven, but will cease to exist.
They may suffer for a while, but as full eternity starts, they will be totally removed. That is because, they are totally EVIL, and need to be removed. They will be removed, because of their rejection of JESUS.
BUT I do agree, with all ofGotQuestionsnext replies, that they made - to myFriend's Questions.
GotQuestions, Answer 1. Reply toFriend's question 1.
There are many, who claim the Old Testament God is different, than what we see in the New Testament. This is simply not true. For more reading on this, see: Why is God so different in the Old Testament, than He is in the New Testament?Please read this:
I also read through GotQuestions answer, to Question 2. It is very excellent.
GotQuestions, Answer 2: I encourage you to read the Old Testament.Read Hosea, for example.God talks about alluring us (Hosea 2: 1 4). Repeatedly in the Old Testament, we see God's desire, for blessing humanity(Genesis 2, 1 2, 1 5, etc).We see Him doing things: Some harsh, like the plagues in Egypt. Some not harsh, so they will know "that I am the Lord".
God relents from harm, when even wicked Kings,like Ahab- turn to Him, even if only for a moment of repentance. A cold being, would not do this!God intentionally pursues us, and gives us opportunities to turn to Him, before He hardens our hearts in rebellion. Yet, even if those turn to Him, He is willing to forgive and relent.
It is not cold of God, to allow non-believers to perish. It makes Him a good God, who punishes sin, and doesn't force people to choose what is right - even though His heart is to save us. That includes, to give us life, and to bless us. As Isaiah 4 8: 1 8 says,"Oh that you would have listened to my commands!" A cold God does not say that. His heart is not cold and Capricious. His HEART is just, good and loving.
My Reply, to my Acquaintance He said: Regardless of religion, good people will be accepted into heaven.The Bible does not teach this. Please read this article, regarding what the Bible/God says:
I read through this, myself. It is AGAIN, very excellent. My Acquaintance also asked question 2 2. What about those who have Neurological Issues, or Learning Disabilities, who are incapable of understanding who Jesus is (fully enough)? GotQuestion Answer: God alone knows our hearts. And we know, that we are responsible, for what we do know.James 4: 1 7 says:Therefore, to him who knows to do good, and does not do it - to him it is sin.
Romans 1 tells us,that even creation shows us, who God is. Even those who have not heard the full gospel, are responsible to God, for what they know of Him - to respond to Him as God. We believe God is merciful, and knows the hearts of the disabled, or those with mental impairments - or of a child.
But we must understand, that each person (infant or adult), factually stands guilty before God. Each person, has offended the holiness of God. The only way God can be just, and at the same time declare a person righteous, is for that person to have received forgiveness - by having Faith in Christ. Christ is the only way. John 1 4: 6 records,what Jesus said: "I am the way and the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father, except through Me."
Also, Peter states in Acts 4: 1 2,"Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven, given to men - by which we must be saved".
God's extending grace, to those who cannot believe, would seem consistent - with His character. It is our position, that God does apply Christ's payment for sin, to babies - and those who are mentally handicapped. This is because, they are incapable of understanding their sinful state, and their need for the Saviour. Again, we cannot be dogmatic, of people's ages - where they can or cannot understand, true salvation. Salvation, is based on what can be known, or not known. God is these things: loving, holy, merciful, just, and gracious. Whatever God does, is always right and good, and He loves children. Matthew 1 9: 1 4.
My Acquaintance reply: I however, don't feel the bible can be taken literally. For the reasons I have already given. It was written by man. It was written by man, many years after the events, it depicts. Man is a flawed entirety. We are all flawed. Only god is perfect. That we do agree on. The bible was written by a society, in a language that no longer exist. It has been translated many times, to get to where we are now. I see the bible as a foundation, and it is our own faith, that represents the bricks and mortar. I know we shall never agree on that, but we don't have to. Having our own ideas, makes us Human. My VERY SERIOUS REPLY, to My Acquaintance I do not need to useGotAnswers, to reply to these points, now made by you- as I already know the answer, to these questions.I have written much about all this, which proves, that life has: ONLY BEEN 6,0 0 0 years so far, and never the LYING Millions of years. If you are interested, please use SEARCH on my Blog, and look for "6,0 0 0 years". For example, please look at message 2 1 8 etc.Science people are terrible LIARS, which I much prove, by what I write – that they are.
FALSE SCIENTISTS, have really messed up Billions of people, with these terrible lying thoughts - that we have been around, for Millions of years. I have written great evidence, of how/why they have LIED, and why they are WRONG! If we consider, that we have just been on Earth 6,0 0 0 years, then it is easier to see - why the Bible can be FULY TRUSTED. All the Bible writings, are linked in with this much shorter period of time, and therefore - are much easier to FULLY understand, if matched to these 6,0 0 0 Years. My Blog, is NEVER just my thoughts ALONE. My Blog collects, the best beliefs ever in the World, FROM the BEST known - TRUE powerful and knowledgeable people. Their explanations, make clear sense to me. Much clearer, than the TERRIBLE deliberate MISGUIDERS, who have other (surely WRONG hidden agenda's) - for doing this. When you say, that too much time has gone by, to believe the Bible - that is because, you wrongly believe in Millions of years. But if you believed, CORRECTLY, in 6,0 0 0 years, it is much easier to see - how the Truth of Bible, has been carefully guarded for TRUTH. This TRUTH was guarded carefully. Firstly by careful JEWISH PEOPLE, and the first 7 0 Year Christians. BUT MOSTLY, carefully preserved by JESUS/GOD. Where is the PROOF, that my Acquaintance talks about? Fact is, that scientists CANNOT calculate anything truly correctly, which is older than 6,0 0 0 years. WHY? That is because it is impossible! How can anyone truly calculate, any age older than 6,0 0 0 years, if the TRUTH IS - that the Earth is not older? I have read so much clear doctrine, on this matter, of what can be calculated - and what cannot be. Again, show me the real truth, and not just from (FALSE PRETENSE) Scientists - with their terribly wrong imaginations. Please never be so willing to believe, unproved LIES, that tell you they are TRUE. Where is their REAL TRUTH? Not just what they believe to be true, through their incorrect assertions. They tell you it is true, but these are all lies. They have NEVER proved it. How could they ever prove anything, that never happened, after 6,0 0 0 Years? My Blog opens everyone's eyes, to the REAL TRUTH, which reveals the lies they tell us. I am not making this an argument. I am very concerned about these wrong ideas, that people have, which NEVER contain real TIME PROOF - of Millions of years, but just guesses. These wrong ideas, will even RUIN their TRUE FAITH IN JESUS. This is why, I am very concerned, not argumentative. I desire all people, to know the real BIBLE TRUTH. Here is some very strong proof, that the Earth is much younger, and only 6,0 0 0 years old. Answer in Genesis, are an organisation, I have used greatly since 2 0 1 0. I know, that their writings about Genesis Creation, until Now - are very correct, and VERY TRUTHFULL. They are amazingly powerful. Here is even more writing, which more carefully explains this proof. Please see: Acquaintance Reply: Ok I'm going through it point by point. In the first point, AIG have referenced a piece of research, by Dr A Snelling. It was easy to find his original research, on research gate. In that paper he considers the presence of C14 in the diamonds but even he dates these diamonds the youngest being 55,000 years old. So I'm afraid the very research the AIG is quoting contradicts their assertions that the earth is only 6000 years old. The oldest of the diamonds was estimated to be over 8 0,0 0 0 years old. But more importantly even the research (from what I have seen so far) considers the concept of the half life of the chemical. Maybe this will help. The issue with AIG is that I cannot find the contributor's qualifications or where they get their knowledge from. No references to research. In short it is poorly out together information with no substance. Since our conversation the other day, I searched with an open mind, to see if I could find anything to give your opinions any credence. I was not able to. Enter My Reply: You did not understand, that we not agreeing with the age of 5 5,0 0 0 years, as there is no real proof of this age. They were simply saying, That the FALSE world has had to agree, that there 5 5,0 0 0 was much lower than Millions or Billions. The TRUE FACT, that you should seriously consider, if you are a TRUE believer in JESUS - is that we are now living in a VERY GODLESS world, (not godless) that have growingly learnt how to HATE GOD. That is FACT.
We are in this very hateful World, towards JESUS. A world that wants to convince ALL people, that God does not exist. Please never yield to this EVIL attempts of the World to reject the EAL TRUTH about Jesus. They are trying to convince ALL people, that God does not exist, by greatly twisting the real TRUTH of 6,0 0 0 years into a LYING much greater length of time. They are doing this deliberately by LIES, so that nearly all people give up their Christian FAITH. This is being influenced greatly by SATAN, Demons, Devil etc etc. Please NEVER, yield yourself, to Satan, but open your eyes to recognise such Satanic EVIL. AND YIELD ONLY TO JESUS 1 0 0% By the way, why convince yourself, that some men are greater in knowledge than others. Fact is, that man has become more and more evil, in their rejection of Jesus. Man is so imperfect, that you should NEVER EVER fully trust them. The Godless, are becoming worse, and more twisting and lying of the real truth. That being the case, why should AIG need mere approval by very poor, weak and Lying people? Truth can be seen, not in very real LIES, but by better people, who reveal the truth. Truth should NEVER be tested by MERE WEAK MEN. Therefore, show me truthfully, why AIG can not be trusted. Do not EVER say, because MAN HAS NOT APPROVED THEM. DOES MAN, AIG or GOD speak the 1 0 0% Truth? Only GODE does, but AIG are far better, than this LYING WORLD of MEN. As I said, AIG never agreed with the FALSE WORLD, that the age of Earth was at least 5 5,0 0 0. They simply stated, what the World portrayed as TRUE. They/we do not agree with this AGE. The point is, that even they have had to acknowledge, that the Earth in not older than 5 5,0 0 0. I have shown, through AIG, that we do not believe - that the Earth is this old, but only 6,0 0 0 years. We were making a point, why many now have reduced Billions to just 5 5,0 0 0. Therefore, using this thought, there is no reason not to consider - that the real TRUTH, may be 6,0 0 0. |
