TRUST GOD’S WORD OF INERRANT TRUTH-IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR GOD TO LIE

We know, brothers and sisters, that God commands us to test all teachings by scripture. It cannot be said often enough that scripture interprets/teaches scripture, proves, , authenticates, and backs up scripture within the context of the whole of scripture from beginning to end without error AND WITHOUT ANY CONTRADICTIONS WHATSOEVER. The word of God fully defends itself by scripture and corrects those in need of correction by scripture.Heb 4:12.

MORE PEOPLE WILL BELIEVE IN JESUS CHRIST AND GO TO HEAVEN THAN THOSE WHO WILL REJECT HIM AND GO INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE

Mat 7:13Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Mat 7:14Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

Some interpret Mt 7:13-14 TO MEAN IN ERROR that Jesus teaches that most people will go into the lake of fire and not be saved. However, the scriptures make it clear that a false doctrine has been made out of these few verses.

Jesus was addressing unbelieving Jews of the flesh, who boasted of being righteous based merely on human genetics, along with those who claimed to be righteous on the basis of said faith with no evidence of love and obedience towards God. See  Mat 8.

it's not uncommon for the ignorant to mistakenly misinterpret scripture, likely due to poor or no teaching. however, the righteous will receive correction, but the wicked never will. 

It is blasphemous to willfully teach that Lord Jesus came to die on the cross, to leave most people lost and condemned to the lake of fire. The children of the devil sneak in amongst the saints in vain to pervert God’s word and turn the good news into toxic bad news that salvation is unachievable for most persons so most will die in the lake of fire: Luk 6:45.  

The everlasting absolute truth, is found in the whole of scripture, therefore, the correct interpretation is that there will be too many people to count that will believe and enter into heaven. See and believe the truth of the inerrant absolute authority of scripture in the verses below, and many more than I can put here.

Mat 8:11And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven.

Rev 7:9

After this I

beheld, and, lo, a GREAT MULTITUDE, WHICH NO MAN COULD NUMBER; of ALL nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;

Those who bypass the scriptures wholistically tend to make doctrines in error, that would not have occurred had they looked at the whole of scripture rather than bits or pieces of it. We know, holy people, that the scriptures are more than merely words on a page. It is the sole spiritual food for you, me, us the whole church and each member in particular. Jesus still speaks today, still fellowships today, seeks intimacy today, still comforts, heals, guides, protects, teaches, corrects, disciplines, nourishes His church today through His word, and lives in His people with God our Father and God the Holy Ghost.

I implore you brethren continually eat and drink into Christ the King who will fill you to the full, establish you, make your heart glad, and fill you with His love, truth and strength.

Brothers and sisters, we know that we all initially arrive saved, coming in with our hang-ups, habits, thoughts, feelings, ways of living and acting some of which are unacceptable to God because they are out of sync with scriptures. God commands us to understand that He does not negotiate, compromise, cut a deal, bargain, or change His word to please men, again God never does that-although men may wrongly change His word to please men-again God never does.  Thanks to God, that as we learn that we can trust that He loves us and wants the very best for us, we turn over to Him those things that He commands that we freely relinquish/yield up to Him, turning to obey Him out of love to please Him not ourselves. Raise your hand, brethren, if you struggled with some carnal thing, you thought you couldn’t give up and/or couldn’t master nor change, but perhaps after many attempts and false starts you submitted in love and trust to Jesus and overcame that thing(s). I raised mine a few times and it likely won’t be the last time.

For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

The New Covenant of Jesus Christ we know, dearly beloveds, isn’t about merely knowing stuff about Him, but personally knowing Him who has given all of Himself to us. Knowing that He saved us is of the utmost importance, but He also wants us to know/understand Him in a personal relationship borne out of the intimacy of His actually living deep inside of our spirits and is with us every moment. Jesus loves us so much He cannot ever bear to be apart from us in any way. Nothing of us is hidden from. Him He sees and knows more about us than we do of ourselves. How can we deny giving all of ourselves to one who has given all of Himself and His life to us?

2Ti 2:15

Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

 Jhn 3:1

There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:

Holy brethren, as we go back in time through the scriptures we see:

The Pharisees were essentially one of the cults that we first hear about in the New Testament. We know that under the Law only a descendent of the tribe of Levi could operate as a priest. Anyone not of the Levitical priesthood attempting to operate as priests God commanded to be put to death: Num 3:10. By the time of Christ’s earthly ministry, the Levitical priesthood was thoroughly corrupted. Anybody who could pay could play, and we find this cult in the temple with their man -made doctrines paying tithes and stealing widows’ houses, acting as priests unchallenged, except by Lord Jesus: Mat 23:14. Jesus condemned them because they corrupted the people and actually hindered people from getting into heaven: Mat 23:13;  Mat 23:15.  Some of the pharisees believed in Jesus, and Paul having met the resurrected Christ. Jesus warns us about wolves in sheep’s clothing it is not much different now. This is one of many reasons we must study and live God’s word so that we will not be deceived.

love and truth forever, serola
