CCAS TABLE/STREET COMIX UPDATE I took 500 of each comic (Street Comix, PARAMAN, etc.) we do at work (FMP/Foursquare Missions Press) and dropped them off at Ralph's house the week before the Con. Ralph and Kevin would drive down early Wednesday morning to unload and set up. Wednesday night was a special Preview Night where they only let in professionals and exhibitors from 6-9pm. Then, the regular main floor hours would be 9:30am-7:00pm, Thursday thru Sunday (5:00pm on Sunday). Here are the details, book by book-- LONELY LADY--I didn't get to the table until Thursday evening and I noticed there weren't any LONELY LADY displayed. I was curious and asked "We're not putting out LONELY LADY?" I was told "We did! They're already all gone!" THE CHRIST OF PROPHECY--I only packed 250 of these because they take up so much more room than the rest. They were all gone halfway through Saturday. HOMELESS HARRY--Kevin mentioned to me that he noticed that people either took one of everything or, if they only took one thing, they took HOMELESS HARRY. I was skeptical, but not 20 seconds went by before a woman came up and asked if she could only take one, which one should she take. She didn't wait for my answer before she snatched up HOMELESS HARRY and walked away! I think HARRY was also more popular with the kids. A PARAMAN HALLOWEEN--This "sold out" about halfway through Sunday, being a little more popular than PARAMAN. (Kevin pointed out, however, that some of the foot traffic were return visitors from previous years who already have PARAMAN. It does show the value of always having something new.) PARAMAN--I actually think there were 550 PARAMAN in the box I gave Ralph, and there were two packs of 50 left over. VENGEANCE IS MINE--I think there were also 100 left of this one. Ralph will be sending the leftovers to Don Ensign in Arizona for a smaller con coming up soon there. It's interesting that this was probably the LEAST popular for people to pick up of their own free will, but is possibly the 2nd (after PARAMAN) most popular to be ordered at my work. (Of course, most of our orders for it are from prison chaplains!) JACK CHICK TRACTS--Ralph is a big fan of Jack Chick and he buys a lot of Jack Chick Tracts (NOT the controversial ones) and puts out piles of three different ones at a time. Numerous unbelievers would take only these, laughing and smirking as they walk away. But, still, they TAKE them and read them. SUMMING UP--Now, there's no telling how many of the people who took the comics were Christian and how many weren't. It was obvious from comments like "I'm so glad you're here!' and things like that that many of the people who stopped were already Christian--BUT they were often getting the comics to give to somebody else! It was also obvious, by the looks on their faces as they walked by, that many of the people were NOT Christian! (Including director John Landis, who mocked us a bit and left.) However, a large number of these people--at my cry of "Free Comics!"--would often turn around and come back and get one/some. CCAS MEETINGS/PANELS UPDATE SPIRITUAL THEMES IN COMICS PANEL (Saturday Morning)--This went well. Leo Partible did a good job organizing and moderating it. The big names on the panel were outspoken Christian Doug Tennapel and friendly witch Holly Golightly. (Sorry I don't remember the names of the other two panelists.) Holly is our favorite witch! (And her kind of "witch" seems to be more of a naturalist/in tune with the earth kind, not pagan or wiccan.) She's very entertaining and pleasant. Doug Tennapel used some profanity and said he would never buy a Christian comic. (Perhaps he's never found the right one.) Obviously, I tend to disagree with him on some things, but I was quite impressed by his brave and vocal stand against abortion. CCAS OPEN MEETING/"MEET AND GREET" (Saturday Night)--Unfortunately, the Con neglected to put this one in the program guide and we only had about 20 people show up. But that might have been a blessing in disguise as the 20 of us all got to share and pray for each other. (See photo.) CCAS CHRISTIAN COMICS MEETING (Sunday Morning)--After worship music by Janae Miley and her friend, we had a good message from Buzz Dixon on giving God your best. Buzz Dixon moderated and then joined Leo Partible and myself on the panel. Our starting off point was the novel "THE SHACK" and that led to topics such as how to properly portray the Trinity in fiction, etc. PERSONAL UPDATE I always am very blessed to stay with friends of the family at their home on Coronado. The drawback to this was always that the best way over the bay was a ferry that would let me off about two miles away from the Convention Center. However, (mainly because of the newly-built Hilton, I was told) they have instated a new ferry stop RIGHT BEHIND the Convention Center! It only runs every two hours, but it worked for me! My (new-to-me) car did not want to start halfway through the Con to drive me to the ferry landing on the Coronado side--which necesitated me walking TWO MILES to just barely catch the morning ferry! Sigh--things have a way of evening out, don't they? (Of course, walking two miles on EACH side of the bay would have been too much!) This worried me no end, but then it started fine that night! It turns out that I just have a weak battery, which is much better news than I expected. We met a lot of new people this year at the Con, and I would say that would have to be the high point for everybody. A lot of them are from the SoCal area, so we might have a fresh influx of people at our monthly meetings in the near future. There was another high point for me. I'll admit, every year I seem to have a new celebrity crush. This year, I have been quite enamored (but you know, not in a crazy way) of the actress/model Diora Baird (TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE remake, WEDDING CRASHERS, a very funny and impressive episode of TWO AND A HALF MEN--and numerous magazine covers). Friday night, I made sure to attend a panel on the new movie spoof STAN HELSING, starring Diora Baird, Kenan Thompson, and Leslie Nielsen. I was looking forward to seeing the great Leslie Nielsen in person, but I was mostly there to see Diora--even if it was from over 100 feet away and I could barely see her head without the giant projector screen. I felt bad for her as most of the questions/comments from the audience were directed at Nielsen and Thompson and none for her, and the director made a big deal about the OTHER female star of the movie being a great comedic actress! Cut to Sunday morning after the CCAS panel. It had gone well, and my friend Josh and our new friend Danielle and I were talking and VERY slowly making our way out of the room and up the hallway. (I noted at the time that it was much slower than I normally would have done.) 50 feet up the hallway, a beautiful blonde walks right in front of me and sits down against the wall. It took a moment to fully hit me--it was Diora Baird! I asked Josh and Danielle to excuse me for a moment. I walked over to Diora and she looked up. I introduced myself, we shook hands and we had a very enjoyable conversation! Enjoyable for me for sure, but she also seemed to very much appreciate me telling her what a great job she did on TWO AND A HALF MEN and how I thought that SHE was the next great comedic actress. Unless I miss my guess, I think I made her day. It certainly made mine. (A number of things went wrong for me all week, but this more than made up for them!) Other celebrity sightings included: Kevin Sorbo (Hercules) and Leonard Nimoy (Mr. Spock) sitting at a booth together, Adam West (Batman) kept walking by the CCAS table (as his booth was near ours), George Lazenby (2nd James Bond) and Maud Adams (Octopussy), Gil Gerard and Erin Gray (both of BUCK ROGERS), Brandon Routh (SUPERMAN RETURNS), Elvira, the new Elvira, Meredith Salenger, all the voices from FUTURAMA, Lou Ferrigno (Hulk), and a LOT of people I didn't see! So, that may be more than you wanted to know, but that's my whole update for my visit to COMIC-CON 2009.

Hi Paul here from the BAP.I know you have not heard from me in months but was dealing with some family issues that really rock my world. But God is good and things are getting better but with trials added to them. Be praying for me that i may be strengthen through this time in the desert. God is trying to teach me that he is in control i just have to stand a side and let him do his perferct will. I was reading in the book of Hebrews chapter 11 about faith and how our brothers in the past deal with trusting Him for everything. We just have to belive his word is true. But above else obey his word. So far the BAP is on hold but working it's way back into my family life. The Messiah's Chosen Preview comic will be a small ashcan(I still don't know ashcan or magazine. Be praying for me on this issue), The Armor of God Poster is finished an some are printed on hard stock paper an will be available.(Their is a sample sketch on my blog on this site. HEY COME SEE AND MAKE A COMMENT OR TWO. Would love some honest critizism on my ideas.), Lastly The word says, "I can DO ALL THINGS through Christ who strenghthens me". Philippians 3:13(Read the chapter it awsome dude). God Bless BAP out!!!!

FREE WILL... or... DOES GOD.. "FORCE" ..OUR STEPS ?God never uses that word,but He does use words such as "directs" or "guides"It doesn't take a great deal of energyfor God to make people follow the footstepsthat He has established for themThe SLIGHTEST motivationsin our finances, stomach, social life, egos, etc.,will easily cause us to go either this way or that wayOf course none of this is of any valueunless we can establish it in God's WordNotice what God says regarding our "steps""...It is NOT IN MAN...to direct his steps..." (Jer10:23)"A man's heart deviseth his way:but the Lord DIRECTS HIS STEPS" (Prov16:9)God could have just as easily said: "...the Lord directs HIS WAY""Man's goings (Heb: steps) ARE OF THE LORD:how can a man then understand HIS OWN WAY?(it matters not if our steps are good or sinful)" (Prov 20:24)"For now thou NUMBEREST my steps(That's pretty specific, Matthew): dost thou NOT watch over my SIN?" (Job 14:16)"The steps('steps' is used to symbolize ALL OF MANS DOINGS)OF A MAN ARE ordered (Heb: established) by the Lord" (Psa 37:23)If ALL man's steps are "established",then of necessitythey are ordered by God IN ADVANCEof him taking those ordered steps!!!With this in mind,Let's take a closer look at man's supposed "FREE WILL"ELOHIM'S FOREKNOWLEDGE CONTRADICTS FREE WILLPhil 2:13it 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 intentionsAfter years of following Jesus daily,the apostles were not as yet convertedIn the evening of the last PassoverJesus 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 theypossessed the power of free will,which could enable them to choosetheir own destiny, and that they couldand would have the strength of self determinismand free will to maintain that courseBut Jesus told His disciplesthat they would all forsake HimIn other words,Jesus was foretelling of EVENTS that would cause(even ‘force,’ if you will) them to change their wills,against their previously stated willsThey of course, all deniedthat Jesus knew what He was talking aboutMark 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 saidthat they would remain loyalbut Jesus said that they would allbe offended because of HimWas there a reasonfor God causing the disciplesto will loyalty to Jesus and thenin 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 themthat their own will was not freeto do what they wanted, but thatPhil. 2:13"it is God (not man) which works in youBOTH TO WILL (God causes us ‘to will’)and TO DO (God causes us ‘to do’)of His good pleasure"to bring about His intentionsIn just one night God smashedthe presumed free will of all the disciplesand they lost confidence in their flesh after that nightThere are two things that constantlyoppose and change the will of man,so that it cannot be said that the willis free to will its own destinyfor even a day or an hourWhat are these two factorsover which man has absolutelyno control whatsoever?CIRCUMSTANCESandGOD’S WILLCIRCUMSTANCES:God changes the minds and wills of mankindaround the world, a billion times a minute,through circumstances that "you know not"which are actually the cause of your choicesand your changed choicesWe are often if not most of the timecompletely unaware of what actuallycaused us to do or say or think as we doHow did all the disciples willto remain loyal to Jesus no matter what,at one moment in time, and in the next momentthey all changed their will to forsake Him?What changed their wills?Circumstances!!One moment they were at ease and safein the upper room, and at a later momentthey were in the garden surrounded by Roman Soldiers!Fear was the circumstancethat caused their (un-free) wills to changeSo it was the presence of certain circumstancesthat caused the disciples to will as they didBut what caused the circumstancesto be as they were to ensurethat they would will appropriatelyto fulfill Christ’s prophecy concerningtheir 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 courseThey did not want to change their willsThey did not desire to deny their Lord and SaviourThey did not wish to make liars of themselvesThey did not want to be shown to be cowardsWell then, why did they change their willsif 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 willAnd Jesus Himself told themthat they would change their wills,so how pray tell could it have been otherwise?God knew exactly what was neededto make all of the disciples change their willsGod said that they would change their willsand forsake Jesus,and God was not aboutto be made a liarPeter did not even know what it was that caused himto deny Christ until the "cock crew"In our above example with the disciples,not only did they change their emphaticallystated will, but, they did so against their stated willEven when they willed to change their will,they did so against their original desired willPeter did not want to deny Christbut he was made to deny Christby the mere fact that the alternative (fear)was greater than his desire to remain loyalAnd so, how was he "free" to remain loyal?He wasn’tPeter was no more "free" to not deny Jesusany more than he was "free"to be loyal in his original choiceBoth choices were caused,and once something is caused to happen,it could never had been otherwiseOnce the cause is set in motion,the effect must followGod brought about circumstances thatcaused, made, forced, Peter to dowhat he didn’t want to doHow then, can such a forced will, be free?Peter didn't will to deny Jesus,but he was clearly caused to do soThis is an example of how God causes mento change their will even when it is againsttheir initial will to do soHow much easier and unrecognizableare the millions of choices we makein which we very willingly make the decisions we do,because they often appear to be pleasant, profitable,and desirable choices?This exampleof the disciples forsaking Jesus is so important!!Can we believe that Jesuscould 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 willOr 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 willthat does not need to deny me even onceIt 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 sillywhen we look at it logically doesn’t it?Yet this is the contentionof those who believe in "free will"Maybe Peter will,but then again maybe Peter won’t,NOT EVEN GOD KNOWS FOR SUREAlmost sounds like blasphemy, doesn’t it?It is blasphemy to argue that when Godprophesies, states, and intendsthat someone do a particular thing,that the person is still at libertybecause of his supposed free will,to not do what God has saidYet this is what the theory of "free will" demandsThe fact that God has a foreknowledge of everythingproves that free will is an impossibility,True "free will" could alter the futureand therefore God could nothave an absolute and true knowledge of the futureTherefore, it is a grave error to statethat man has a free will that is not"made" or "caused" to do as it does,and yet state that God knows in advancethe only possible choice that a person must makeHow can one believethat 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 happenbut 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 advancethat 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 Peterhad no freedom of the willto 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 respondsfrom the throne of his presumed free willand CORRECTS Jesus to His face:"Peter said unto Him,Though I should DIE WITH THEE,YET WILL I NOT DENY THEELikewise also said ALL THE DISCIPLES"(Ver 35)And the rest is historyWhen Peterwas confronted the third time we read this:Matt 26:74 & 75"Then began he to curse and to swear,saying, I KNOW NOT THE MANAnd immediately the cock crewand he went out, and wept bitterly"Free will? Where? Give it up!!What about all of the other discipleswho also thought they possessed this powerof free will and self-determinism?Matt 26:56"But all this was done,that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilledThen 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 WordNow for maybe the most profoundand 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)http://myspace.com/water_spirit_bloodRead more…
Are you too... worshiping a God of Failure?A God Who alwayshas to go from plan A to plan BA God Who isrunning a "disaster control operation" from heavenA God Whosupposedly created creaturesHE CANNOT CONTROL-Creatures that will wreck His original planAnd the foolish and unscriptural teachingis that God created a PERFECT archangelwho then SINNED AND REBELLED AGAINST GodBut... BUT..., here is the evil in this teaching:God did not intend,neither did He KNOWthat this was ever going to happen!!!Then, supposedly,God created PERFECT MANand put him in the garden of Eden,and never intended for him to sin or rebel,nor did He know it was going to happen!!FOILED AGAIN!!Then God sent His Son Jesus Christto BE: "The SAVIOUR OF THE WORLD" (1John 4:15)And now we are taught by most Christiansthat JESUS CHRIST FAILED!!!He wanted to save the world,He tried to save the world,it was, in fact, His VERY WILLthat all mankind be saved (1Tim 2:4 & 4:10),but He COULDN'T DO ITMan's phantom "free will"proved to be FAR TO POWERFULFOR THE SON OF GOD TO OVERCOMEFAILED AGAIN!!!How many timesmust your God FAIL before you find ANOTHER GOD?WAKE UP PEOPLE....God created EVIL, not Satanor any other supposed powergreater than God (Isa 45:7)God uses evil for goodGOD planted the treeof the knowledge of good AND evil in the gardenIf man wanted to know "good"he had to partake of the tree of EVIL as wellBOTH WERE IN THE SAME TREE, IN THE SAME FRUIT!!!Both good and evil experiencesare necessary in the building ofGodly Character, and so God provides bothGod knew what He was doing,He knows what He is doing,He will continue doingexactly what He planned FROM THE BEGINNING!!!God is not...operating a "disaster control center"from his throne of the universeHe is not trying to "pick up the pieces"of a totally unexpected tragedythat he never saw comingHe is not trying to "figure out" a wayto somehow to get things backto being as good as they once wereHe is nottrying to "figure out" a way to out smart Satan-and he is not "falling behind" numericallyas far as how many will be savedand how many will be lostGod has a plan,and he is working out that planto perfection on a perfect scheduleGod has a "will" and he has his "intention"There are times,when we will go against his willaccorded with his divine plan-but we will never ever go against his intentionwhich is his intended final resultContrary to popular belief;his "will" was that man would sinand indeed be lost for a period of timebut his "intention" is for ALL to be saved,and come to a knowledge of the truth-thus becoming Sons and Daughters of the Most HighIt was God-who planted the treeof the knowledge of good and evil-not SatanIt was God who put Satan there to do the temptingIt was God who made Adam and Eve Spiritually weakso that they would indeed partake of the tree according to planRom 8:20-22For the creature was made subject to vanity not willinglybut by reason of him (Elohim) who hath subjected the same in hope;because the creature itself also shall be deliveredfrom the bondage of corruption into the glorious libertyof the children of Elohim.For we know that the whole creation groans and travails in pain until nowVanity-empty, vain, profitless, depravity (wickedness)Bondage-slavery, subjectionCorruption-spoil, ruin, deprave defile decay, destroy, perishGroan-moan, calamity murmur grief anguishTravail-pangs, pain, travail as in birth,Pain-anguish, starvingElohim himself...subjected the whole creation to vanityand it is Elohim himself who will deliverthe whole world from the bondageof corruption, pain, and sufferingThe Lamb of Godwas "slain from the FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD"The Salvation of Adam and Eve and the entire worldwas prepared way before they were ever even createdWhy do you suppose there was but one treecontaining both qualities of good and evil?Because you can't separate good from evilYou can't appreciate good-if you have never experienced evilYou can't appreciate light-if you have never experienced darknessYou can't appreciate eatingif you have never been hungryYou can't become a Son or Daughter of Godwithout knowing good and evilThe Father commissioned Yahushuah (Jesus)to be the Saviour of the worldWill he fail the Father, and not save the entire world?Read my writing:Most Christians will die in their sinsYou will then understand why Yahushuah (Jesus)said "few there be" that will find the narrow wayand stand before him without sinThe majority...will have "their part" in the Lake of fireand as was stated,some will receive few lashes (so to speak)and some will receive many-but you will not come outuntil you've paid the uttermost farthlingHow can anyone be a minister of the gospeland doubt the God of Perfect Lovesaving ALL of His children?2Peter 3:9The Lord is...not willing that ANY should perishRom 11:32For God hath concluded them...

IS THE "WILL" OF GODIsaiah 26:9for when thy JUDGMENTS are in the earththe inhabitants of the worldwill LEARN RIGHTEOUSNESSThen what about HELL....IF YOU DIE...You don't BURN foreverIf you BURN forever...YOU DON'T DIEFrom the Old Testament Hebrew Bible;Sheol was translated to hell(a chamber.... cave, tomb, or grave)When the Hebrew Bible was translated to GreekSheol then became hades(unseen underworld for the dead)The concept of tormentwas not associated with Sheolby any of the old testament prophetsAs Christianity was arisingThe Levitical Priesthoodbecame the privileged "learned"in regard to the letter of the lawTherefore, they were respected and fearedfor they had the power of life and deathWhen Rome under Titus invaded Palestine in AD 70the temple was destroyed and eventuallyRome accepted ChristianityAs the Popes of Roman Catholic Churchbegan their "holy apostolic succession"They quickly realized thatfear and ignorance worked much better than loveThe everlasting torments of Hellthus made its appearancein conjunction with the oppositealluring rewards of HeavenThis brought many peopleand much money into the churchYou were not allowed to have a Bibleas the church would instruct youin all matters concerning religionBut soon, an "enemy" would arisein the form of the Printing PressEx-communication from the church would be the resultif anyone was caught reading or having any portionof the Wycliffe BibleWilliam Tyndale and John Rogerswere burned at the stake for being translatorsTranslating from one language to anotherwas not always easy and errors were madeOne such example,was the translating of Hebrew and Greek wordsto the English words of eternal, everlastingand for ever and everThe hebrew word OLAM and the greek word AIONcan be simplified to the english equivalent of EON(age)for this explanationFirst of all, that which NEVER ceasescan only be in the SINGULAR formTherefore,if the hebrew OLAM or greek AIONequals the english EON(age)meaning TIME UNENDING (eternity)there could be but ONE such EON (age)One such time unendingYet many times, these words are usedas PLURALS in our scripturesSo, if there are timeswhen there are more than one EONS (ages)We must conclude that one of these EONS (ages)must of necessity be of A LIMITED DURATIONTherefore, if translators renderedcertain passages FOR EVER AND EVERthis would have to be an errorbecause if FOR EVER means time unending (eternity)It would be incorrectto attach to TIME UNENDING (eternity)another equal period of TIME UNENDING (eternity)by the added words of AND EVERThis error resultsin the "ETERNAL" nature of HELLequaling in the same languageour "ETERNAL" reign with ChristSo it would appearthat our life with Christ is to be ETERNALand that our suffering in HELL is to be ETERNAL alsoYet, what did Paul write about the reign of Christ?1Cor 15:24,25Then shall the end come,when he (Christ)hands over the Kingdom to God the Fatherafter he has destroyedall dominion, authority, and powerFor he must reign UNTILhe has put all his enemies under his feetThe reign of Jesusis to be of a LIMITED durationwhich will at some point come to a terminationJust as the Lake of Fireis to be of a LIMITED durationwhich will at some point come to a terminationafter having completed what it was truly designedby God the Father to accomplishThe words"everlasting"... "evermore"... "for ever"..."fore ever and ever"... and "eternal"...are no where found....not even once in any Hebrew or Greek manuscriptfrom which our modern language Bibles are translated!!One of the greatest lies about our loving Godhas made its way into the church and isbeing taught as truthInsinuating, that our Father in Heavenis a God of hatred and vengeanceAnd that he isthe greatest of all hypocritesin that he teaches us to love our enemiesyet he will torture his enemiesin fire for all eternityThis most evil doctrine was designed to insurethat man would hate the loving CreatorThe truth isGod, is not going to and never intended toburn anyone, in the Lake of Fire for all eternityThe first time Jesus came, it was NOTto condemn or judge the worldbut to save the worldThe next time Jesus comes it will beto judge the world in RIGHTEOUSNESSThose that will be cast into the Lake of Fire,will have their carnal sinful natures burned away!!In the consuming,purifying presence of Godthey will learn righteousnessHeb 9:27And as it is appointed unto men once to die,but after this the judgmentIsaiah 26:9for when thy judgments are in the earththe inhabitants of the world will learn RIGHTEOUSNESS1Cor 3:15If any man's work shall be burnedhe shall suffer loss but he himselfshall be saved yet so as by FIREYes, there will be suffering in this Lake of Firefor those who will be cast therein shall burnin accordance with their sinful carnal naturesThe fire will not be quencheduntil all the sinful nature is burned away;resulting in that personlearning obedience and being made perfectThe wages of sin is death not eternal life in HellIf you die…you don’t burn foreverIf you burn forever…you don’t dieIf the wages of sin was to burn eternally in Hellthen Jesus,would have had to burn eternallyin Hell for taking all sin upon himselfThe wages of sin is deathfollowed by a resurrectionRev 20:6Blessed and holy is he that hath partin the first resurrection:on such the second death hath no powerRev 2:11He that overcometh shall not beHURT (not killed) of the second deathMalachi 3:3He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silverThis verse puzzled some women in a Bible studyand they wondered what this statement meantabout the character and nature of GodOne of the women offeredto find out the processof refining silver and get back to the groupat their next Bible StudyThat week, the woman called a silversmithand made an appointment to watch him at workShe didn't mention anythingabout the reason for her interestbeyond her curiosity about the processof refining silverAs she watched the silversmith,he held a piece of silverover the fire and let it heat upHe explained that in refining silverone needed to hold the silverin the middle of the firewhere the flames were hottestas to burn away all the impuritiesThe woman thought about Godholding us in such a hot spotthen she thought againabout the verse that saysHe will sit as a refiner and purifier of silverShe then asked the silversmithif it was true that he had to sit therein front of the fire the whole timethe silver was being refinedThe man answered yeshe not only had to sit thereholding the silver in the fire;but he had to keep his eyes on the silverthe entire time it was in the fireIf the silver was lefta moment too long in the flamesit would be destroyed!!The woman was silent for a momentand then asked the silversmith:How do you knowwhen the silver is fully refined?He smiled at her and answeredOh, that's easy-when I see My IMAGE in it!!Is Elohim able to redeem anyone from hell?The Translators of the King James Versiontranslated the HEBREW word "SHEOL"to the ENGLISH word "HELL" thirty timesIf sheol is indeed hell,is God able to redeem anyone from this "hell"?Psalms 49:15But God WILL redeem my soul from from the power of the GRAVE:for he shall receive me SelahThe word "grave" in this verse is the Hebrew word "sheol"which is translated "hell" in no less than thirty other versesSo if "sheol" really is "hell"then there is "REDEMPTION" FROM HELLAnd in the GREEK:1Cor 15:55O death, where is thy sting? O GRAVE, where is thy VICTORY?The word "grave" in this verse is the Greek word "hades"which is translated "hell" in no less than ten other versesSo if "hades" really is "hell"then there is "VICTORY" OVER HELLBut the fearful, and unbelieving, and abominable,and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers,and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their partin the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone:which is the second deathWhat is Brimstone anyway?Does it make the fire hotter and more painful?Is it caustic to the skin causing greater pain?Brimstone is defined by the dictionary as SulfurSulfur, is often called brimstone, burning stone, or ignited sulfurIt has been used in religious ceremonies forPURIFYING or fumigating buildings and for bleaching cloth(Encyclopedia Britannica, page 536)Methods of Production:Producers describe their methodof obtaining sulfur from the ore asPURIFICATION BY FIRE (Page 537)Interesting thought-Purification by FirePurification by a Lake of Fire?Physical PropertiesSulfur isTASTELESS, ODORLESS,AND OF NO EFFECT ON THE SKIN (page 537)Sulfur is aPOOR CONDUCTOROF HEAT AND ELECTRICITY (page538)Interesting thought-A poor conductor of HEATAn even more interesting thought-So if God were to put enough Brimstone into the Lake of Fire,it would actually have the potential of protecting those in the firelike an asbestos suit!!Am I going to fast for anyone?Do you see where I am going with this line of thinking?Malachi 3:3He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silverThe FIREMAN...I teach that Yahushuah (Jesus)is the Saviour of the world-and that he can not beSAVIOUR OF THE WORLD-and notSAVE THE ENTIRE WORLDI get replies that Christcan be the Saviour of the world,and yetNOT SAVE THE ENTIRE WORLDThey give me this type of proof:When a fireman goes into a burning building to save trapped people,what happens if these trapped people refuse to be saved?Is the fireman not still a firemansimply because some do not wish to be saved?Here we see the foolishness of the carnal mind at workdesperately grasping for straws to supportan unscriptural theory-that Christ TRIES to save everyone...(just like a fireman tries to save those trapped in a burning building),but is unable to save everyone because many REFUSE to be savedTherefore Christ is STILL the Saviour of the worldeven if He doesn’t save everyone in the worldI have been told by Christians many timesthat most of humanity will CHOOSEto be burned in the pain of literal hell fire for all ETERNITY,rather than to be saved by Jesus ChristUTTER FOOLISHNESS!!Only an insane person would prefer to be burnedin literal torturing flames of firerather than to be saved by a fireman!!Futhermore, Any fireman worth his saltwill save men, women, children, and even cats, dogs, and other pets,WHETHER THEY WANT TO BE SAVED OR NOTImagine a mother being told by a firemanthat he left her little girl back in a burning buildingbecause the little girl didn’t want to be rescued by a fireman?Jesus Christ does not suffer the limitations of a fireman!Jesus Christ IS GOD!

I'm happy to say that my new webcomic is finally on the web!!!It's called Ace of Diamonds, and it is a western about a masked man with a gun, traveling the land, righting wrongs. It's ALSO part of my new project "Remix Comix", which are public domain comics that I am rescripting, replotting, and remixing!It's really become something of an exercise and a challenge. The challenge is to take an old public domain series and transform it into something completely different, that it was never intended to be! Also, I don't want it to become a parody! No, my new story must use the OLD artwork, but become a new story that can legitimately stand on its own.Here's the link:http://aceofdiamondscomic.blogspot.comI hope you enjoy it!~ Ben

Did I want to go to church this morning?I had been up drawing until 4 am in the morning,I deserved to sleep in, right!?Well, I'm up now... It can only do me good to go...I'll catch up on some sleep during the sermon...(a little trick: say "amen" from time to time so it looks like you're praying)Seated cozily in my favorite place as usual, I wasn't expecting anything special from this service.I'd already come up with a highly spiritual thought for my neighbor:- "the worship isn't very enthusiastic this morning, don't you think?":(perfect! Something to send us to sleep before the sermon!)What's that! Ah, shoot! It's the local misfit, coming to sit down beside me!He looks like a pirate who's seen better days, with his wooden leg (really), and an eye that flickers from the smoke from his cheap cigarillo.He smells of beer and mumbles in his beard (loudly, but nobody understands him)...During the sermon, he tells me his life story (no chance for a nap, then!)Like scouts from the Army of justice and decorum, the listeners in the row in front have noticed us.They're already throwing glances at us from over their shoulder, threatening to confront us with anundeserved "shhh" to add to my embarrassment.Then there was a worship song about God's tenderness towards us...Suddenly, everything stopped in my head,I was moved... I saw a tear running from the pirate's eye, he'd been moved by this song.That evening, at the sleepset of my little Océane-Aimée,I was reading a story from the Bible (chosen at random):Luke 7.36: (to make it short, I'll write my own version, ok?)It's the story of Simon the Pharisee (a pillar of the Church) who had invited Jesus to dinner.What's that! Ah, shoot! A prostitute, who looks like something the cat's dragged in, has wrecked the atmosphere, throwing herself at Jesus' feet,dampening his feet with tears, drying them with her hair, pouring out someChanel-type scent on him and covering his feet with a thousand kissesHOW DISGRACEFUL! The Pharisees are outraged, how could Jesus let somethinglike this happen? Good grief! ...Jesus said:"Simon, you didn't give me water for my feet(in those times they drank using their feet. At least I think they did)you didn't kiss me, and you didn't even pour perfume upon my head(this could be a custom we could start up at work for whenever our colleagues' have body odor issues)but she did...She did this because I gave her forgiveness for her many sins and she istremendouslygrateful,but as for you, I don't mean anything to you, that's why you're not gratefultowards me"WHAM!This morning, who was I more like, Simon or the repentant prostitute?Forgive me Lord... I've been going to church for years...But I pray that from now on, every single time,I will be truly grateful towards you and worship you with real sincerity...Alainwww.auderset.comRead more…
The Messiah gave a Treasure Map of Colors back to the FatherThe Blessing within is beyond ALL your Blessings!!Time is short...Bad things-are soon to come upon the earthRead my writing below:Most Christians will die in their sinsMay Yahushuah open your Spiritual Eyesto the awesome Truth that has beenso long before youThe Truth-you should be believing and teaching-as these things are soon to come aboutSo many of youare claiming the "BLOOD"and yet ...You are still carrying your "SINS"You are indeed blinded, fast asleep,and in a lost state of false peace and securityOpen thine eyes,the Harvest is Great!!Just as Yahushuah gave the Emissariesthe power to remove sinsThis truth also give you the power(through Yahushuah)to remove the sins that so many are still carryingOh how sad it is...So many deceived followershave been going to church their entire lives-still carrying their sinsSatan is allowedto blind you from this truthupon your initial readingIt is those who read it againwhose eyes might be opened:MOST CHRISTIANS WILL DIE IN THEIR SINSWill you DIE IN YOUR SINS?There is not anything in this lifethat would be more devastating-than to die in your sinsAnd if you truly believe that to be trueAnd there was even the slightest chancethat this indeed could happen to youWould you not drop everything-and immediately address this issue!!I mean:How serious... is your professed walk in Christ?If you died today-Would you be able to stand before Christ without sin?Well today is the day you can know for certain-just how serious you really are about Jesus ChristI am writing this today...to inform the majority of you believers-that if you indeed died today;you will die in your sinsI realize this is a very bold statement to makeand yet I can and will back it up!!The question for each of you is:Is this matter important enough-to address this issue immediately?Are you willing to look into this matterand find out exactly why I am saying this is so?John 8:24I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins:for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sinsWho was the first person that we know ofto have the opportunity to know and believe?How exactly would he know and believe?Will the same proof, also allow us to know and believe?John the BaptistJohn 1:32And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spiritdescending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon himJohn 1:33And I knew him not:but he that sent me to baptize with water,the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt seethe Spirit descending, and remaining on him,the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy GhostSo John believed, because after his Baptism,the Holy Spirit did in fact descend and remain on himSo here we have two out of the three thingsthat would testify of Jesus in the earthThe WATER pertains to his Baptismand the taking of all sins upon himself(represented by the color BLUE in the Tabernacle coverings)The SPIRIT pertains to the Holy Spirit descendingand proving this was indeed God's Holy Son(represented by the color PURPLE in the Tabernacle coverings)The BLOOD would be the final witness of the three(represented by the color SCARLET in the Tabernacle coverings)1John 5:8And there are three that bear witness in earth,the Spirit, and the water, and the blood:John 1:29The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith,Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the worldJohn witnessed aloud, that this was indeed God's Holy Sonand he was now carrying the sins of the world upon himHAS JESUS PAID FOR ALL OR NONE OF YOUR SINSTHE SHOCKING TRUTH ABOUT CHRIST'S BAPTISMWhat I am teaching has absolutely NOTHINGto do with OUR Baptisms!!Many Christians think that just calling outthe name of Christ and believing in his bloodmysteriously removes all their sins- POOF!!They will still be saved!!But they do not, have the correct faiththat will allow them to stand at his comingFEW THERE BE that will find this correct faith!!And Why can they not stand at his coming?BECAUSE THEIR SINS HAVE NEVER BEENPROPERLY PUT UPON THE SACRIFICE FIRSTTHE BLOOD WASHES AWAY ONLY THOSE SINSTHAT ARE PUT UPON THE SACRIFICE FIRST !!forshadowed in the sacrificial system;the sacrifice had to have the sinsput upon its' head by the only one, that could do soA Priest in the lineage of AaronLev16:21And Aaron shall lay both his hands upon the head of the goat,and confess over him all the iniquities of the children of Israeland all their transgressions in all their sins, putting them uponthe head of the goatJohn was this last Levite Priestand both his father and motherwere in the lineage of AaronCorrect Faithis believing that Jesus did in facttake ALL sins for ALL time at his Baptismand that he did indeed pay for ALL sins for ALL timewith his One Offering at the CrossIF YOU BELIEVE THAT;it is accounted to you as righteousness!!Your sins have been properly put on Christwith the proper faith in the three that testify in the earth -the Water Spirit Blood as per 1John 5:8IF YOU DON' T BELIEVE THATthen you are in the group that continually;prays daily for forgiveness of sins-not realizing you could never everpray enough to ever cover all your sinsOne faith takes away ALL your sinsOne faith requires you do something (pray daily)THE AWAKENINGJesus came by Water and Bloodnot by Water only but by Water and Bloodin other words :Jesus came by Baptism and Deathnot by Baptism only but by Baptism and DeathNot every one claiming the Blood of Christwill stand before him at his comingTherefore, not every one claiming the Blood of Christwill be able to SEE and UNDERSTANDthe " WATER" aspect of SALVATIONNot even if GOD himself,PAINTED THEM A PICTURE!!But wait-He did indeed paint every one a picture-Look at the animal sacrifice picture belowif you cover up the left side of the picture;where the sins are being put on the sacrificeand only performed the right side;the killing of the sacrificeit was unacceptable to God;and certainly did not cover any of the sins!!God was very specificin how these sacrifices were to be donebecause they forshadowed his Son's deathNow, Look at the Baptism pictureand the picture of Jesus on the crossif we cover upthe Baptism picture;and the "passing on" of the sinsand only performed;the killing of the sacrificeit also would be unacceptable to Godand certainly did not cover any of the sins!!THEREFORE;if your FAITH covers up the Baptism picture;and you are just believing in the crossand the shed blood of JesusIT IS UNACCEPTABLE TO COVER ANY OF YOUR SINS! !Now follow alongIf you have not put your sins on Jesuswith the Correct Faith of when, where, and howhe took ALL of your sins for ALL timeand then proceeded to the crossto pay for ALL of your sins for ALL timewith his one offeringWhere are your sins?SURPRISE!!YOU ARE STILL CARRYING THEM!!!Satan has deceived almost the entire worldinto just believing in the Blood !!Blindly ...we believe that our sins are goneby just believing in the deathof Jesus at the crossAnd believe me;Satan is going to get great pleasureas he watches millions of Christiansfall in "shock " at the coming of JesusJohn said to Jesus :You come to me to be Baptised;I need to be Baptised by you!!Jesus replies:Suffer it to be so now,It is necessary that we fufil all righteousnessJesus knew he couldn't proceed to the crosswithout the sins of the world upon himIf he did, the sacrifice would be meaninglessOnly a Levite Priest;in the line of Aaron, could pass the sins onto Jesus(John was through both his father and mother)It's no wonder Jesus said of John:Mat 11:9But what went ye out for to see?A prophet? yea, I say unto you,and MORE THAN A PROPHET(an essential element of your salvation)Mat 11:10For this is he, of whom it is written,Behold, I send my messenger before thy face,which shall prepare thy way before thee(preparing the way by the very act ofputting ALL sin upon Jesus)Mat 11:11Verily I say unto you,Among them that are born of womenthere hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist:John was a major and significant part of our salvation!!Baptism- Jesus takes the sins of the world upon himselfSacrifice- Jesus proceeds to the cross and pays the judgmentIt is our faith ... and believing with all our heartsthat he took ALL sins, for ALL time, . . . there ...that puts our sins on the sacrificeCoupled with the factThat he then proceeded to the crossand shed his blood as payment(judgment)The two go hand in hand-you can not disregard one of theseand have believed in the correct and proper manner!!The BLOOD of the Sacrifice washes awayONLY the SINS that were put on the Sacrifice FIRST !!!God himself designed the Tabernaclewith the different layers of colorsto guide us to the final layerbefore returning to the Father through Christ!!It is surely not a freak accident. ..the Blue Purple Scarlet matches the Water Spirit Blood!!After very much praying,the Lord enlightened me,that the majority of his "CALLED"were living in the SCARLET layer of his TabernacleI was shown this was not the Correct Faith,and that the "FEW THERE BE THAT FIND IT"would be the " CHOSEN" from this layer ;whom would proceed to the final layer ofBlue, Purple, Scarlet. . . Water,Spirit, BloodThey alone would have the Correct Faithwhich would remove the engraved sinsand allow them to stand at his comingThe many Christians who go to churchstill carrying their sins because of improper faithare the ones that live in the Scarlet layerThey are the "CALLED"( many are "called" but few are "chosen")And they will still be saved;AFTER ... they take "their part" in the Lake of Firewhich will remove all the sinful carnal naturethat they never put on Christ by having theCorrect Faith in theBlue Purple Scarlet ... Water Spirit BloodUntil Christ died we had to ask for forgivenessOnce he died and paid the pricefor ALL sin for ALL timewe no longer have to ask for forgiveness!!It is Satan who wants youto keep asking for forgivenessbecause if you continue to ask for forgiveness;you are denying the Correct Faiththat he already took ALL sins for ALL timeand paid the price (judgment)for ALL sins for ALL timeThis incorrect faith allows Satan to arguethat you do not have the Correct Faiththat you have not been reborn of the "Water "therefore you are still carrying your sinsand therefore you indeed belong to him!!!Satan wants you to keep believingthat you have to pray daily for sins;as a never-ending requirement to be savedAnd if you think for a minute,that you could possibly pray enoughto cover all your sins-you are badly mistakenWhat if you died 15 minutes ago?Would you have had even one sin you forgot??Do you think Jesus can or willlet that one sin slide when he had given youthe perfect Salvation of the Water Spirit Blood?And ponder this;Do you think that a person who went to churchall their life and was totally devoted to the Lordshould burn in hell forever with the rest of the wickedbecause he forgot to pray for just one sin?Remember sin can not enter heavenso somehow, someway that sin has to be removedthus my writing will also cover the truthabout the Lake of Fire lie and it's real purposeIn ConclusionJesus told us:You must be born of the Water and the SpiritTherefore I am boldly proclaiming and teachingthe washing of rebirth and the renewal by the Set-apart SpiritBeing reborn of the WATER is the very split secondthat you by Correct Faith in the Water Spirit Blood-believe with all your heart soul and mind that Jesusdid indeed take ALL of YOUR sins at his Baptismand then proceeded to the cross and paidfor ALL of your sinsYou are reborn at that very split second;as you now have the Correct Faiththat puts ALL of your sinsproperly on the Sacrificeby having the Correct Faith inthe three that testify in the earth :The Blue Purple Scarlet ... Water Spirit BloodThe Blood of the Sacrificewashes away. . . . ONLY. ...those sins that are put on the Sacrifice FIRSTThe Gospel of Water Spirit Bloodanswers all the questions and teaches you:Where it was doneWhen it was doneHow it was doneWhat way it had to be doneWhy it was done as forshadowedWho had part in itWhat about "Daily Sins" ?Yes, as we continue through lifewe will still make errors and sinuntil all things are restoredWhen this happens:The Set-apart Spirit will convict us and we will know;that act/ thought was wrong (guilty feeling)We acknowledge it(accepting in our mind, it was sin)We repent for falling back into the fleshy nature(are sorry and confess it was sin)This is not asking for forgiveness!!1John 1:9If we confess our sins,he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins,and to cleanse us from all unrighteousnessTHIS DOES NOT SAY IF WE CONFESS… AND ASK FOR FORGIVENESSWe then get back on our feet and back into our Spiritual Natureby re-focusing on the perfect salvation of Water Spirit BloodWhen Jesus washed Peter's feetit was to show him that even though he was "clean"he would continue to have daily sinsJesus was showing him that his feet (so to speak)would continue to get dirty until all was restoredJesus told Peter that he would understand lateras to what washing his feet signifiedIt signified that Jesus had also taken care ofALL our daily sins as well with his one offeringDO YOU BELIEVE THIS?JESUS DOES NOT HAVE TO COME BACKAND DIE AGAIN FOR YOUR DAILY SINS!!My friends;Satan can not stop Godfrom speaking through someonetherefore his only alternativeis to go to the "receiving end" of the messageand attempt to draw out their "defensive" carnal natureto stop them from receiving itMy advice is look at the Tabernacle againSee the colors that God himself designedThe entry gate of the Sanctuarywas also constructed with these colorssignifying that one must have the Correct Faith in Jesusto even enter the Sanctuary and attempt to go back toGod the Father through ChristAnd believe me, it is no accident whatsoeverthat the Blue, Purple, Scarlet colorswere all over the Tabernacleas well as on the entry to the Holy Place ,to the Most Holy Place , and even on the veilbetween the Holy and the Most Holy PlaceReflect on the sacrifices that forshadowedwhat Jesus would come and doReflect on why Jesus saidthere was no man born of woman greater than JohnReflect on the fact, you could never everpossibly pray enough to cover all your sinsby the daily forgiveness prayerAnd then reflect on how beautiful and perfectthis true Salvation which the Lord providedcovers all your sinseven if you died 15 minutes agohaving not got to ask forgivenessfor something that slipped your mind!!In the New Testament;Circumcision (cutting off sin)is that OF THE HEART (MIND)Read this very carefullyand SEE how you who were separated from Godare made a Son/Daughter by Circumcision-the "cutting off" of sin by the Correct FaithHave you been Spiritually Circumcised?"The Passover"This was a special day; to rememberand thank God for the Exodus from EgyptGod told Abraham that if he and his descendantswould enter into his covenant and be circumcisedHe would become their God and they wouldbecome his peopleCircumcision was the "cutting off" of the foreskinsignifying the "cutting off" of sin and becoming God's peopleOnly those who were circumcised became God's peopleand were allowed to eat the meat of the Passover celebrationThe Passover lamb signified Christthat is why not one bone was to be broken!!In the new Testamentwe must be "Spiritually Circumcised"to participate in the JESUS the PassoverRom 2:29Circumcision is that of the heartSpiritual Circumcisionis spiritually "cutting off" sin thus becoming God's peopleWe do so by faith , and believing inthe Water, the Spirit, and the BloodWe "cut off" sin, by believing in faith ,that Jesus took all sins upon himself at his baptismand then proceeded to the cross where he would paythe price (judgment) for them in our placeHow then, do we Spiritually become GOD'S people?By believing in the WATER SPIRIT BLOOD truth!!Just as the circumcision of the fleshrepresented the "cutting off" of sinand becoming God’s peopleThe proper faith of believingin the "cutting off"of ALL sin at the Jordan River-makes us God's children againWE CAN PARTICIPATEIN CHRIST AND HIS KINGDOM!!Rememberthose who were not circumcised in the fleshwere "cut off" from his peopleThose who are not Spiritually Circumcisedby the proper Faith of the WATER SPIRIT BLOODwill also be "cut off" from his people!!Let's also take a look at the book of JoshuaJoshua led God's peopleto the Jordan en-route to the "promised land"When the Priests carrying the Ark of the Covenant,stepped into the Jordan river the water was "cut off"and parted leaving dry land so they couldcross over into the "promised land"ForshadowingJesus was to be baptized in the future by John,at this same Jordan River and would "cut off" all sin foreverSo we could also enter the "promised land"by the Water, the Spirit, and the Blood sacrifice of JesusThe Baptism of the Lord is where he took ALL the sinsThe Cross is where he paid for ALL the sinsThis Correct Faith washes us of themand puts them properly on him-thus we can be viewed "righteous"in the eyes of the FatherBecause WE BELIEVE GOD (proper faith)Just as Abraham BELIEVED GOD (by faith)it is accounted to us as righteousness!!This correct faith allows the FEW THERE BEto stand before him at his comingThe truth I am trying to show the worldtakes you from the "CALLED" PERSONWHO LIVES IN THE SCARLET LAYEROF THE TABERNACLE COVERINGWHO STILL PRAYS DAILY FOR FORGIVENESSand takes you to the "CHOSEN" PERSONWHO LIVES IN THE BLUE PURPLE SCARLETFINAL TABERNACLE COVERINGWHO NO LONGER ARE TRICKED BY SATANINTO PRAYING DAILY FOR FORGIVENESS OF SINSWhich I repeat;gives him a great argument thatYOU never had the correct faithYOU were never reborn of the "WATER"YOU are therefore still carrying your sinsYOU BELONG TO HIM (SATAN )Our God is an awesome Godand he will save his entire Creationbut once again FEW THERE BEthat can SEE and UNDERSTANDthe truth I am teachingWILL YOUR CONSCIENCE CONDEMN YOU IN THE END?What is it;that has separates us from our God?Isa 59:2But your iniquities have separatedbetween you and your God, and your sinshave hid his face from you, that he will not hearThe removal of these sins is the only wayto reconcile us to our God2Cor 5:19To wit, that God was in Christ, reconcilingthe world unto himself, not imputing theirtrespasses unto them; and hath committedunto us the word of reconciliationA shadow of something, is not the real thing ;therefore, a shadow can not dothat which the real thing can doHeb 10:1For the (ceremonial) law (of sacrifices)having a SHADOW of good thing s to come,and not the very image of the things,can NEVER with those sacrificeswhich they offered year by year continuallymake the comers there unto perfectIf the "shadow" could have done this,CONSCIENCE would no longer condemn the sinnerHeb 10:2For then, would they (the sacrifices)not have CEASED to be offered?because that the worshipers ONCE PURGEDshould have had NO more CONSCIENCE of sinsBecause the "shadow" could not dowhat only the real thing could doThe sacrifices were repeated yearlyas the Day of AtonementHeb 10:3But in those sacrifices there isa remembrance again made of sins every yearAnd WHY is this?Heb 10:4For it is NOT POSSIBLE that the bloodof bulls and of goats should take away sinsBut itIS POSSIBLE,that the blood of the Son of Godshould not only take away ALL sinbut that the worshipers ONCE PURGEDshould have had NO more CONSCIENCE of sinsHeb 10: 12But this man, after he had offeredONE sacrifice for sins FOR EVER,sat down on the right hand of God;Heb 10: 14For by ONE offeringhe hath perfected FOR EVERthem that are SANCTIFIED (set apart as holy)1Peter 3:21The like figure where unto even BAPTISMdoth also now save us (not the putting awayof the filth of the flesh , but the answerof a good . . CONSCIENCE .. toward God,)by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:HAS JESUS TAKEN AND PAID FORALL OR NONE OF YOUR SINS?DO YOU HAVE THE CORRECT FAITHTHAT PUTS ALL YOUR SINS ON JESUS?DO YOU UNDERSTANDTHAT ONCE YOU REALLY BELIEVETHE " WATER" ASPECT OF SALVATION-YOU ARE VIEWED AS RIGHTEOUSAND RECONCILED TO THE FATHERBECAUSE OF YOUR CORRECT FAITH ?AND THAT YOU ARE INDEEDA SON OR DAUGHTER OF GODAT THAT VERY MOMENT?My FriendIt is no accident whatsoever that theBlue Purple Scarlet matches the Water Spirit BloodOr that . . YOU. . were one of thosewho was CHOSEN to hear this truthSEE the slide show or pics on my profile pageand read the writing: The Gospel of Water Spirit BloodYou can read this awesome truth in my blog orI can send a color -worded copy to a good emailbut you must be sure to SEE the slide show or picson my profile page by clicking my Baptism Picturewritings of enlightenment:The Gospel of Water Spirit BloodThe Sacred NamesYou, Have One SinThe Seal of God or the Mark of the BeastDo you really; I mean REALLYREMEMBER,Satan is an expert at being God's adversary;it is no wonder...that man has takenthe Sacred Names of the FATHER and SONout of the Bible over 6000 timesand replaced the nameswith the words Lord or God?That man has takenthe Holy Sabbath that was instituted and blessedby our Creator for all generation sand changed it to another day?That man only teachesthe "BLOOD" aspect of Salvationwhen the "WATER" aspect of theWATER SPIRIT BLOOD is essential?AND SO...We profess to believe and follow the Creatoryet, we don' t even know his name!!We don' t worship himon the ONLY day he set asideas a SIGN or SEAL between him and us foreverfor all generations that we may knowhe is the true Creator of all things that were madeWe don't understand and believe,the " WATER" aspect of Salvationwhich results in us blindly believingjust the "BLOOD"and still carrying our sinsbecause of having the incorrect faith!!HELL AND UNIVERSAL SALVATIONWe now know, and understandhow a world of so many "so called" Christianscan be separated into "few there be that find it"Being in the first resurrection is the "high calling" of Godand the Gospel of Water, Spirit, Blood,provides us with the Correct Faith in Jesuswhich will allow us to stand before him without sinAgainwhat happens to the multitude of the peoplewho appeared to be the “good” Christian peopleof the world yet failed to have the Correct Faithwhich would have removed their "engraved" sinsAnd would have also allowed them to stand at his coming?Obviously, not being able to "stand" at the first resurrectionthey will now fall within the group that will come forth at the second resurrectionAre we then to assume that our loving God will punish them forever and everin the fires of Hell with the rest of the wicked?Not at all,Our loving God will save his entire Creation through his Son-Jesus!!The wages of sin is death not eternal life in hell:From the Old Testament Hebrew Bible; Sheol was translated to hell(a chamber.... cave, tomb, or grave)When the Hebrew Bible was translated to GreekSheol then became hades (unseen underworld for the dead)The concept of tormentwas not associated with Sheol by any of the old testament prophetsAs Christianity was arising, the Levitical Priesthoodbecame the privileged "learned" in regard to the letter of the lawTherefore, they were respected and feared for they had the power of life and deathWhen Rome under Titus, invaded Palestine in AD 70the temple was destroyed and eventually Rome accepted ChristianityAs the Popes of Roman Catholic Church began their "holy apostolic succession"They quickly realized that fear and ignorance worked much better than loveThe everlasting torments of Hell thus made its appearancein conjunction with the opposite alluring rewards of HeavenThis brought many people and much money into the churchYou were not allowed to have a Bibleas the church would instruct you in all matters concerning religionBut soon, an "enemy" would arise in the form of the Printing PressEx-communication from the church would be the resultif anyone was caught reading or having any portion of the Wycliffe BibleWilliam Tyndale and John Rogers were burned at the stake for being translatorsTranslating from one language to another was not always easy and errors were madeOne such example, was the translating of Hebrew and Greek wordsto the English words of eternal, everlasting and for ever and everThe hebrew word OLAM and the greek word AIONcan be simplified to the english equivalent of EON (age) for this explanationFirst of all, that which NEVER ceases can only be in the SINGULAR formTherefore,if the hebrew OLAM or greek AIONequals the english EON (age) meaning TIME UNENDING (eternity)there could be but ONE such EON (age)One such time unendingYet many times, these words are used as PLURALS in our scripturesSo, if there are times when there are more than one EONS (ages)We must conclude that one of these EONS (ages)must of necessity be of A LIMITED DURATIONTherefore, if translators rendered certain passages FOR EVER AND EVERthis would have to be an error because if FOR EVER means time unending (eternity)It would be incorrect to attach to TIME UNENDING (eternity)another equal period of TIME UNENDING (eternity) by the added words of AND EVERThis error results in the "ETERNAL" nature of HELLequaling in the same language our "ETERNAL" reign with CHRISTSo it would appear that our life with Christ is to be ETERNALand that our suffering in HELL is to be ETERNAL alsoYet, what did Paul write about the reign of Christ?1Cor 15:24,25Then shall the end come, (WHEN?)when he (Christ) hands over the Kingdom to God the Fatherafter he has destroyed all dominion, authority, and powerFor he must reign UNTIL he has put all his enemies under his feetThe reign of Jesus is to be of a LIMITED durationwhich will at some point come to a terminationJust as the Lake of Fire is to be of a LIMITED durationwhich will at some point come to a termination-after having completed what it was truly designed by God the Father to accomplishThe words"everlasting"... "evermore"... "for ever"..."fore ever and ever"... and "eternal"...are no where found.... not even once in any Hebrew or Greek manuscriptfrom which our modern language Bibles are translated!!One of the greatest lies about our loving Godhas made its way into the church and is being taught as truthInsinuating, that our Father in Heaven is a God of hatred and vengeanceAnd that he is the greatest of all hypocrites in that he teaches usto love our enemies yet he will torture his enemies in fire for all eternityThis most evil doctrine was designedto insure that man would hate the loving CreatorThe truth isGod, is not going to, and never intended to,burn anyone, in the Lake of Fire for all eternityThe first time Jesus came,it was NOT to condemn or judge the world but to save the worldThe next time Jesus comesit will be to judge the world in RIGHTEOUSNESSThose that will be cast into the Lake of Fire,will have their carnal sinful natures burned away!!In the consuming, purifying presence of God; they will learn righteousnessHeb 9:27And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgmentIsaiah 26:9for when thy judgments are in the earththe inhabitants of the world will learn RIGHTEOUSNESS1Cor 3:15If any man's work shall be burnedhe shall suffer loss but he himself shall be saved yet so as by FIREYes, there will be suffering in this Lake of Firefor those who will be cast therein shall burnin accordance with their sinful carnal naturesThe fire will not be quenched until all the sinful nature is burned away;resulting in that person learning obedience and being made perfectThe wages of sin is death not eternal life in HellIf you die…you don’t burn foreverIf you burn forever…you don’t dieIf the wages of sin was to burn eternally in Hellthen Jesus, would have had to burn eternally in Hell for taking all sin upon himselfThe wages of sin is death followed by a resurrectionRev 20:6Blessed and holy is he that hath partin the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no powerRev 2:11He that overcometh shall not be HURT (not killed) of the second deathMalachi 3:3He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silverThis verse puzzled some women in a Bible studyand they wondered what this statement meantabout the character and nature of GodOne of the women offered to find out the processof refining silver and get back to the group at their next Bible StudyThat week, the woman called a silversmithand made an appointment to watch him at workShe didn't mention anything about the reason for her interestbeyond her curiosity about the process of refining silverAs she watched the silversmith,he held a piece of silver over the fire and let it heat upHe explained that in refining silverone needed to hold the silver in the middle of the firewhere the flames were hottest as to burn away all the impuritiesThe woman thought about God holding us in such a hot spotthen she thought again about the verse that saysHe will sit as a refiner and purifier of silverShe then asked the silversmith if it was true that he had to sit therein front of the fire the whole time the silver was being refinedThe man answered yeshe not only had to sit there holding the silver in the fire;but he had to keep his eyes on the silver the entire time it was in the fireIf the silver was left a moment too long in the flames it would be destroyed!!The woman was silent for a moment and then asked the silversmith:How do you know when the silver is fully refined?He smiled at her and answered Oh, that's easy-when I see My IMAGE in it!!AND SODo you really, …I mean ...REALLY… Believe the Bible?Do you really BELIEVE… the first half of 1Cor 15:22"FOR AS IN ADAM...ALL...DIE?" (ALL OR MANY?)Do you really BELIEVE… the last half,"EVEN SO IN CHRIST SHALL ...ALL... BE MADE ALIVE?" (ALL OR MANY?)Do you really BELIEVE… the BIBLE?Rom 5:19For by one man's disobedience MANY WERE MADE SINNERSso by the obedience of one SHALL MANY BE MADE RIGHTEOUSDo you really…I mean ..REALLY..BELIEVE… the BIBLE?2Peter 3:9The Lord is...not willing that ANY should perish1Tim 2:4Who will have ALL men to be SAVEDand to come unto the knowledge of the truth1Tim 4:10because we trust in the living GOD,who is the SAVIOUR of ALL men,specially (but not only) of those that believeRom 11:32For God hath concluded them... ALL ... in unbelief,that he might have mercy upon ALLLuke 3:6And ALL flesh shall see the salvation of GodDo you believe that Jesus only "wants or wishes" to save the world?Do you believe "our Savior, God,who wants and wishes for all mankind be savedand come into a knowledge of the truth"is a proper translation of 1Tim 2:4?Do you believe that "who WILLS that ALL MANKIND BE SAVED"is also the proper translation?Do you believe Isa 46:11?"I have spoken it (as in He has spoken it in 1Tim 2:4 for example)I WILL ALSO BRING IT TO PASS:I have purposed it, I WILL ALSO DO IT"And here is a second witnessIsa 46:9-10"I AM GOD, and there is none like me Declaring the end from the beginning,and from ancient times the things that are not yet done,saying, My COUNSEL SHALL STAND, and I WILL DO ALL MY PLEASURE"YOU CAN NOT BELIEVE BOTH;that God "wills" to save all mankindand that He will perform all His "pleasure"and bring about all that He has "spoken,"AND THEN BELIEVEthat He will NOT save all mankindand will NOT accomplish all His willand will NOT do all His pleasureand His counsel will NOT standJohn 12:32And I, if I be lifted up from the earth,will draw ALL men unto me1John 4:14And we have seen and do testifythat the Father sent the Sonto be SAVIOUR of the WORLD1John 2:2And he (Jesus)is the propitiation (atoning sacrifice)for our sins: and not for ours only,but for the sins of the whole WORLD2Cor 5:19To wit, that GOD was in CHRIST,reconciling the WORLD unto himself,not imputing their trespasses unto them;and hath committed unto usthe word of reconciliationJohn 1:29Behold the Lamb of God,which taketh away the sin of the WORLDGod sent Jesus...to be SAVIOUR of the entire WORLDCan Jesus be SAVIOUR of the entire WORLDand NOT SAVE the entire WORLD ?Will Jesus fail the Father, and not save the entire world?Heb 9:27And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgmentIsaiah 26:9for when thy judgments are in the earththe inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness1Cor 3:15If any man's work shall be burnedhe shall suffer loss but he himself shall be saved yet so as by fireThe Prize and "High Calling" of God is to be in the first resurrectionand be able to stand before him, and not to go through Purification by FireRemember the Bible teaches us1Co 12:3that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy GhostAnd yet goes on to say:Rom 14:11For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord,every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to GodIsa 45:23I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouthin righteousness, and shall not return,That unto me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swearThus it shall be so; even with those that were "non-believers"Rom 10:13For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be savedAND BELIEVE MEthose who have "their part" in the Lake of Firewill be calling upon the Name of the Lordand they will bow before himand they will confess his nameand they will learn righteousnessWilliam Wilbur (whom_seek_ye@yahoo.com)http://myspace.com/water_spirit_bloodRead more…
THE SACRED NAMESThe Sacred Names were thought to be to Sacredto be uttered and therefore they were removedfrom the Scriptures over 6,800 times andreplaced with Lord or Godand soMasses of Christians, have been pursuingfor many years, a personal relationshipwith their Lord and Saviourand yet, after all this time;They, have never even known his real name!!WHOM SEEK YEProverbs 30:4who has established all the ends of the earth?what is His NAME, and what is his Son's NAME,IF THOU CANST TELL?A brief study in linguisticsTo translate is to explain the meaningof one language using the words of anotherTo transliterate is to spell a wordusing the letters of another language"I am" is the English translationof the meaning of God’s personal nameThe English transliterationof God’s personal name is YHVH, or YHWHWith vowels added, YAHVEH or YAHWEH,being translated to I AM WHO I AMNo matter what language you use,whether you translate or transliterate,YHVH's name means "I am who I am"and it directly points to his real name,which is the same in all languagesYHVH is the personal NAME of the Creator,and revealed in the four letters YOD, HEY, VAV, HEYAlthough often transliterated as YAHWEH,It is more accurately transliterated as YAHVEHV is the better transliterationas there is there is no letterin Hebrew like the W (double-U)The four Hebrew letters transliterated YHVH are:a Yod, rhymes with "rode", which we transliterate."Y"a He, rhymes with "say", which we transliterate.…."H"a Vav, like "lava", which we transliterate "W" or....."V"a He rhymes with "say", which we transliterate..…."H"Original Hebrew didn't have any vowels,and was written right to leftSome of the consonants carry with themthe indication of associated vowel soundsThe Y is associated with the sound of a "long e", as in “beam”The H is associated with the sound of a "short a" as “ah”The Vav ("W" or "V") is associated with the vowel “u”and produces the sound in the word "cool"The H is associated with the sound of a "short a" as “ah!”Thus, the name of the Creatorsounds something like "ee-ah oo' ah", (Yah-oo' ah)with the accent on the second of the three syllablesPsalm 68:4Sing unto God, sing praises to his name:extol him that rideth upon the heavensby his name YAH, and rejoice before him“JAH” is transliterated in Bible but there is no "J" in HebrewThe name of YAH is related to the Hebrew verb "Hoveh"which means "to be" ( I am I was I will be)Therefore "YAH Hoveh" (transliterated as JAH hoveh)in the present tense means "YAH is"So therefore, YAH could alsobe his actual or abbreviated nameDeut 6:4Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord:SHMAA YISRAEL YAH HOVEH ELOHEINU YAH HOVEH ECHADHEAR ....ISRAEL .YAH IS .......OUR GOD .YAH IS .......ONEEven the most ancient of praisesends with the name YAHYAH is the last partof the word "halleluYah" and means "praise YAH"Now let's take a closer look at the Son's NAMEThe Hebrew/Jewish name for the Jewish Messiah is:YAHU'SHUAHwritten.........Y'SHUAHspoken.........YAHU'SHUAH YEHOSHUA or YESHUApronounced...YAH-OO'-SHOO-AHY'SHUAH means"YAH is Salvation" or "YAH the Saviour"This sacred name was gradually changedto "Je-Zeus Khristos" by the pagan masseswho converted and joined the originally Jewish Messianic SectChristianity was born, with a mixtureof pagan customs and traditionsConstantine the Great, was a Zeus worshiper,who converted to Christianity which resultedin worshipers of the sun god, Zeus,entering into the Christian religionYAHU'SHUAH'S abbreviated form of Y'SHUAHbecame "Y'Zeus" or Je-Zeus which eventuallybecame "Jesus" in EnglishThe name "Jesus" was never appliedto the SAVIOUR during his lifetime,nor for nearly 300 years afterhis death and resurrectionThe correct name of the Messiah, YAHU'SHUAH,is the only name by which he was known to hisdisciples, though he has several titles such asRabbi, Son of Man, Saviour, Anointed, King of KingsNot even once did he ever hearhimself addressed as "Jesus Christ"even when the Greek proselytes went to Philip andsaid, "We would see YAHU'SHUAH" (John 12:20, 21)A second witness of such a changeis the translation of Luke 4:27,where it refers to the prophet "Eliseus"and an event recorded in 2 Kings 5:14The Prophet's Hebrew name, however,was 'Eli'Shuah', which means "God is my Salvation"The same pagan influence that changedY'SHUAH to "Y'Zeus" is reflected in the changeof "Eli'Shuah" to Eli' Zeus ("My God is Zeus")YAHU'SHUAH (or Y'SHUAH)is used often, in the Tanach (Old Testament)as well as in the official Jewish dailyand festival prayer books, where it isgenerally translated as "Salvation"The Father's name YHVHis written using four Hebrew letters(right to left) YOD HEY VAV HEYHis true Hebrew name is YAHUAHwhich means I WAS I AM I WILL BEThe Son's name YAHU'SHUAHis written using five Hebrew letters(right to left) YOD HEY VAV SHIN HEY(The written Shin is pronounced Shu)"Shu" is a Hebrew root word meaningSALVATION, deliverance, overcoming,health, help, prosperity, and welfareWhen you add the root "Shu"to the Father's name between the "u" and the "a"this results in the Son's name YAHU'SHUAHYAHU'SHUAH and YAHUAH are OneYAHU'SHUAH came IN his YAHUAH’S NAMEYAHUSHUAH !!YAHUAH the Father sent YAHU'SHUAH his Sonto be SAVIOUR of the entire worldThe FATHER's True Hebrew Name

IS THE "WILL" OF GODIsaiah 26:9for when thy JUDGMENTS are in the earththe inhabitants of the worldwill LEARN RIGHTEOUSNESSThen what about HELL....IF YOU DIE...You don't BURN foreverIf you BURN forever...YOU DON'T DIEFrom the Old Testament Hebrew Bible;Sheol was translated to hell(a chamber.... cave, tomb, or grave)When the Hebrew Bible was translated to GreekSheol then became hades(unseen underworld for the dead)The concept of tormentwas not associated with Sheolby any of the old testament prophetsAs Christianity was arisingThe Levitical Priesthoodbecame the privileged "learned"in regard to the letter of the lawTherefore, they were respected and fearedfor they had the power of life and deathWhen Rome under Titus invaded Palestine in AD 70the temple was destroyed and eventuallyRome accepted ChristianityAs the Popes of Roman Catholic Churchbegan their "holy apostolic succession"They quickly realized thatfear and ignorance worked much better than loveThe everlasting torments of Hellthus made its appearancein conjunction with the oppositealluring rewards of HeavenThis brought many peopleand much money into the churchYou were not allowed to have a Bibleas the church would instruct youin all matters concerning religionBut soon, an "enemy" would arisein the form of the Printing PressEx-communication from the church would be the resultif anyone was caught reading or having any portionof the Wycliffe BibleWilliam Tyndale and John Rogerswere burned at the stake for being translatorsTranslating from one language to anotherwas not always easy and errors were madeOne such example,was the translating of Hebrew and Greek wordsto the English words of eternal, everlastingand for ever and everThe hebrew word OLAM and the greek word AIONcan be simplified to the english equivalent of EON(age)for this explanationFirst of all, that which NEVER ceasescan only be in the SINGULAR formTherefore,if the hebrew OLAM or greek AIONequals the english EON(age)meaning TIME UNENDING (eternity)there could be but ONE such EON (age)One such time unendingYet many times, these words are usedas PLURALS in our scripturesSo, if there are timeswhen there are more than one EONS (ages)We must conclude that one of these EONS (ages)must of necessity be of A LIMITED DURATIONTherefore, if translators renderedcertain passages FOR EVER AND EVERthis would have to be an errorbecause if FOR EVER means time unending (eternity)It would be incorrectto attach to TIME UNENDING (eternity)another equal period of TIME UNENDING (eternity)by the added words of AND EVERThis error resultsin the "ETERNAL" nature of HELLequaling in the same languageour "ETERNAL" reign with ChristSo it would appearthat our life with Christ is to be ETERNALand that our suffering in HELL is to be ETERNAL alsoYet, what did Paul write about the reign of Christ?1Cor 15:24,25Then shall the end come,when he (Christ)hands over the Kingdom to God the Fatherafter he has destroyedall dominion, authority, and powerFor he must reign UNTILhe has put all his enemies under his feetThe reign of Jesusis to be of a LIMITED durationwhich will at some point come to a terminationJust as the Lake of Fireis to be of a LIMITED durationwhich will at some point come to a terminationafter having completed what it was truly designedby God the Father to accomplishThe words"everlasting"... "evermore"... "for ever"..."fore ever and ever"... and "eternal"...are no where found....not even once in any Hebrew or Greek manuscriptfrom which our modern language Bibles are translated!!One of the greatest lies about our loving Godhas made its way into the church and isbeing taught as truthInsinuating, that our Father in Heavenis a God of hatred and vengeanceAnd that he isthe greatest of all hypocritesin that he teaches us to love our enemiesyet he will torture his enemiesin fire for all eternityThis most evil doctrine was designed to insurethat man would hate the loving CreatorThe truth isGod, is not going to and never intended toburn anyone, in the Lake of Fire for all eternityThe first time Jesus came, it was NOTto condemn or judge the worldbut to save the worldThe next time Jesus comes it will beto judge the world in RIGHTEOUSNESSThose that will be cast into the Lake of Fire,will have their carnal sinful natures burned away!!In the consuming,purifying presence of Godthey will learn righteousnessHeb 9:27And as it is appointed unto men once to die,but after this the judgmentIsaiah 26:9for when thy judgments are in the earththe inhabitants of the world will learn RIGHTEOUSNESS1Cor 3:15If any man's work shall be burnedhe shall suffer loss but he himselfshall be saved yet so as by FIREYes, there will be suffering in this Lake of Firefor those who will be cast therein shall burnin accordance with their sinful carnal naturesThe fire will not be quencheduntil all the sinful nature is burned away;resulting in that personlearning obedience and being made perfectThe wages of sin is death not eternal life in HellIf you die…you don’t burn foreverIf you burn forever…you don’t dieIf the wages of sin was to burn eternally in Hellthen Jesus,would have had to burn eternallyin Hell for taking all sin upon himselfThe wages of sin is deathfollowed by a resurrectionRev 20:6Blessed and holy is he that hath partin the first resurrection:on such the second death hath no powerRev 2:11He that overcometh shall not beHURT (not killed) of the second deathMalachi 3:3He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silverThis verse puzzled some women in a Bible studyand they wondered what this statement meantabout the character and nature of GodOne of the women offeredto find out the processof refining silver and get back to the groupat their next Bible StudyThat week, the woman called a silversmithand made an appointment to watch him at workShe didn't mention anythingabout the reason for her interestbeyond her curiosity about the processof refining silverAs she watched the silversmith,he held a piece of silverover the fire and let it heat upHe explained that in refining silverone needed to hold the silverin the middle of the firewhere the flames were hottestas to burn away all the impuritiesThe woman thought about Godholding us in such a hot spotthen she thought againabout the verse that saysHe will sit as a refiner and purifier of silverShe then asked the silversmithif it was true that he had to sit therein front of the fire the whole timethe silver was being refinedThe man answered yeshe not only had to sit thereholding the silver in the fire;but he had to keep his eyes on the silverthe entire time it was in the fireIf the silver was lefta moment too long in the flamesit would be destroyed!!The woman was silent for a momentand then asked the silversmith:How do you knowwhen the silver is fully refined?He smiled at her and answeredOh, that's easy-when I see My IMAGE in it!!Is Elohim able to redeem anyone from hell?The Translators of the King James Versiontranslated the HEBREW word "SHEOL"to the ENGLISH word "HELL" thirty timesIf sheol is indeed hell,is God able to redeem anyone from this "hell"?Psalms 49:15But God WILL redeem my soul from from the power of the GRAVE:for he shall receive me SelahThe word "grave" in this verse is the Hebrew word "sheol"which is translated "hell" in no less than thirty other versesSo if "sheol" really is "hell"then there is "REDEMPTION" FROM HELLAnd in the GREEK:1Cor 15:55O death, where is thy sting? O GRAVE, where is thy VICTORY?The word "grave" in this verse is the Greek word "hades"which is translated "hell" in no less than ten other versesSo if "hades" really is "hell"then there is "VICTORY" OVER HELLBut the fearful, and unbelieving, and abominable,and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers,and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their partin the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone:which is the second deathWhat is Brimstone anyway?Does it make the fire hotter and more painful?Is it caustic to the skin causing greater pain?Brimstone is defined by the dictionary as SulfurSulfur, is often called brimstone, burning stone, or ignited sulfurIt has been used in religious ceremonies forPURIFYING or fumigating buildings and for bleaching cloth(Encyclopedia Britannica, page 536)Methods of Production:Producers describe their methodof obtaining sulfur from the ore asPURIFICATION BY FIRE (Page 537)Interesting thought-Purification by FirePurification by a Lake of Fire?Physical PropertiesSulfur isTASTELESS, ODORLESS,AND OF NO EFFECT ON THE SKIN (page 537)Sulfur is aPOOR CONDUCTOROF HEAT AND ELECTRICITY (page538)Interesting thought-A poor conductor of HEATAn even more interesting thought-So if God were to put enough Brimstone into the Lake of Fire,it would actually have the potential of protecting those in the firelike an asbestos suit!!Am I going to fast for anyone?Do you see where I am going with this line of thinking?Malachi 3:3He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silverWilliam WilburWhom_seek_ye@yahoo.comhttp://www.myspace.com/water_spirit_bloodRead more…
The FIREMAN...I teach that Jesus Christis the Saviour of the world-and that he can not beSAVIOUR OF THE WORLD-and notSAVE THE ENTIRE WORLDI get replies that Christcan be the Saviour of the world,and yetNOT SAVE THE ENTIRE WORLDThey give me this type of proof:When a fireman goes into a burning building to save trapped people,what happens if these trapped people refuse to be saved?Is the fireman not still a firemansimply because some do not wish to be saved?Here we see the foolishness of the carnal mind at workdesperately grasping for straws to supportan unscriptural theory-that Christ TRIES to save everyone...(just like a fireman tries to save those trapped in a burning building),but is unable to save everyone because many REFUSE to be savedTherefore Christ is STILL the Saviour of the worldeven if He doesn’t save everyone in the worldI have been told by Christians many timesthat most of humanity will CHOOSEto be burned in the pain of literal hell fire for all ETERNITY,rather than to be saved by Jesus ChristUTTER FOOLISHNESS!!Only an insane person would prefer to be burnedin literal torturing flames of firerather than to be saved by a fireman!!Futhermore, Any fireman worth his saltwill save men, women, children, and even cats, dogs, and other pets,WHETHER THEY WANT TO BE SAVED OR NOTImagine a mother being told by a firemanthat he left her little girl back in a burning buildingbecause the little girl didn’t want to be rescued by a fireman?Jesus Christ does not suffer the limitations of a fireman!Jesus Christ IS GOD!
