Description of the Believer – The Make-Believer – The Plan

 

               

First Word

 

     There is some Bad News about the Good News which is not spoken of very much in the Church today.  Oddly enough; Jesus taught more about Hell than he did about Heaven, the Doctrine of Hell has disappeared from the pulpit and no one has even noticed. 

     Hell has been relegated to a corner of the relic room in a rarely visited museum.  We are taught that ALL WE NEED IS LOVE and a positive self-image.

 

Our calling is not to taste good like HONEY;

but to bring stinging SALT that heals wounds.

 

     In an interview; Baptist Sunday School Teacher President Jimmy Carter said that in “his opinion” in our society today, Jesus would have approved of GAY Marriages.  This certainly flies in the face of scripture;[1] re-labeling a cup of poison to say COOL-AID does not make it any less lethal, it just makes it more attractive.   If a doctor misdiagnoses a disease, it could have serious consequences; a person could die. 

     The same thing applies to a misdiagnoses of the disease of SIN; it’s SPIRITUAL MALPRACTICE.  As a Nation we have a desire to show only the LOVING side of God and not the WRATH side.[2] 

     The Book says that in the beginning, GOD made man in His own image; but today MAN is making God in his own image; an imaginary deity of his own creation.

 

Universalism

     Universalism is a doctrine that in its simplest form states that, because God is a God of Love, that “IN THE ENDall people will be saved and gathered together into Heaven, therefore there cannot be a place which contains a Chamber of Horrors like hell that has infinite (long term) punishing for a finite (short term) mistake.

     The earliest expression of Universalism came out of the mouth of Satan when he said; “You will not surely die”.[3]  Jesus Himself planted a fence post when He said, NOT everyone that says “Lord, Lord” will enter the kingdom of Heaven.[4]  So according to Jesus; ALL WILL NOT BE SAVED.[5]

 

     Here’s the scary one, the Disciples asked Jesus, “Lord, will those who are saved be few?”  And he said to them, Strive to enter through the narrow door;[6] for many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able.  Jesus will say, “I tell you, I do not know you”.   Once the Master who has the keys, shuts the door, no one can open it and enter.[7]

     Remember Noah’s Ark, God in His mercy and Love, left the door of the Ark open one additional week for any that would come; then GOD SHUT THE DOOR and those that finally had a change in heart could not enter.

     Those on the outside of the door will insist that they be escorted into the Kingdom on their own merits; on the basis of what they have done; their WORKS.  Confessing with your Mouth that Jesus is Lord does not automatically bring Salvation.  You must confess with your mouth and BELIEVE in your heart that God raised Jesus from the dead.  Even the Demons believe that Jesus is Lord; but they just simply do not accept it.[8]  NOTE:  The demons in scripture are doomed, they were expecting torment from Christ,[9] not Salvation; read it for yourself, it’s in the Book.

     The Gift of Salvation is not to be taken lightly; it’s not just name it and claim it, or BLAB it and GRAB it, you should work out your own salvation with fear and trembling before God;[10] the road is hard to eternal life and the gate is narrow and FEW find it; but if you seek it, you WILL find it.[11]

 

Second Chance

     Postmortem Conversion is the term that is used for someone who has died and gets a second chance to accept Jesus Christ as the Son of God.  PC supporters hang their hat on the scriptures that says “How can they believe in Him of whom they have never heard[12] and the second scripture indicating that Jesus went to the lower parts of the earth; to HELL and preached to them; they believed and all went to heaven.[13]

     Point of Inquiry: I must point out that at death, everyone has already been judged.[14]  There is a HOLDING TANK called Hell with two compartments; Torment for the un-believer and Paradise for the believer.  From the beginning of time the bad guys accumulated in torment on one side of a great gulf in Hell and the good guys from all time since creation that were in the “FRIENDSHIP of God gathered on the other side in a place called “Abraham’s Bosom” or Paradise.  They already believed in the One God of Creation,[15] but had not heard the “good news” of the Son of God; the Messiah.

     Jesus preached, they believed, and He not only took them to Heaven,[16] but took the whole compartment called Paradise with Him, this enlarged Hell for more unbelievers.  Everyone had already been judged at their death long before Jesus preached to them about the “Good News”.   That’s why they were already in “the holding tank” of Paradise.

     God points out that if man knew nothing else; just by looking at God’s creations he would be able to know God.[17]  God has been clearly revealed and man is WITHOUT EXCUSE.[18]  The Book says to set your house in order BEFORE you die.

THERE IS NO SECOND CHANCE; there’s just more Good News and more Bad News.

    A Make-believer is someone who confesses with their mouth Jesus is Lord, but their lives are not conformed to His Image;[19] there is no fruit, they are no better off than the Demons that believe, but have no good Works.  You don’t do good works to be saved, you do good works because you are saved.

 

Neutralism

     Neutralism; I just made that word up, this is when someone says they don’t think about God one way or the other; they are just neutral; maybe there is a god; maybe there’s not. 

     Man is already destined to a horrible place and needs to be rescued; first there is Hell and then after that, the Lake of Fire.[20] This is a terrible state of affairs; man is perishing for lack of knowledge[21] and as watchmen on the wall, we must sound the alarm to save all who “WILLhear the trumpet call.  

A day will come when the Good will rise to life and the Evil will rise to be condemned.

     Reaching out to save someone from indescribable, eternal destruction is serious stuff for the Believer.  God says that we are either Weeds or Wheat; Goat or Sheep, that we cannot be neutral, you have already made your decision, whoever is not for Him is against Him,[22]

Whoever does not believe is condemned already.[23]  

 

Annihilationist

     The Question has always been; how can a loving God make anyone go through eternal terror, pain, torment and punishment forever? An Annihilationist is someone who believes that when an UNBELIEVER dies; he goes to hell and is destroyed, burned up and ceases to exist.

     My youngest sarcastically said, “Hey, I will take that deal; you can sin all you want and the only consequence there is; is that you will cease to exist;what a Deal; Down, Dead and Done.

My oldest maturely responded, “We were ALL made in the image of the Immortal God and the Believer will become like Him; immortal; All men have the potential to be Immortal.

     I would have considered myself as an Annihilationist until I spent time studying this subject in the Book.  I have included in this commentary my comments and scriptures that would have SUPPORTED the “Annihilation Doctrine” even though now I refute it; here we go…

     It’s only “The Fire” that is unquenchable and Eternal, and it’s “the smoke” that rises forever, NOT the punishment.

     Eternal Punishment vs: Eternal Punishing,[24] Eternal Damnation, Annihilation, Total Destruction,[25] Thrown Away, Burned Up; these are all words that indicate the Finality of Death for the wicked.

     The term ETERNAL is not speaking of its duration, but its permanent results, its finality.  They will be forever CONSUMED, not forever TORMENTED.  Eternal denotes that it’s all over, no more chances; the wicked will NOT EXIST anymore.  They will be completely destroyed,[26] Cut off,[27] Broken, Perish[28] Consumed, Burned like in an oven, [29]  Stubble leaving neither root nor branch.[30]  God’s Final punishment is NOT a vindictive punishment, but is the permanent annihilation of sin, because GOD IS LOVE. 

     I embraced all of this because of the Bible scriptures… But for some reason all of the fence post of these scriptures did not line up with the fence post of the rest of the Bible.

 

Is the Bible self-contradictory?   

Either I am wrong; the Bible is wrong

or I am interpreting it wrong.

 

     Did Christ cease to exist when He died?  The Bible says NO, He was NOT annihilated, but went down into the earth, into Hell and then was resurrected on the third day. [31] If Christ ceased to exist, so would the trinity.

     The Annihilation doctrine comes from the belief that God is only a GOD OF LOVE, therefore He has NO WRATH.  Our BS, our Belief System looks for a “loophole” in scripture to escape Hell.  This desire is from our own imaginary mind in an effort to get relief from the thoughts of Eternal Punishment, this BS is a lie born out of the pit of Hell to deceive us.

 

The Seven Fence Post of Christ

     Jesus placed a fence post in the ground when He said SEVEN TIMES that the wicked will be cast out into outer darkness where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.  This is spoken of in the present and continuance tense; SEVEN is the number of completeness.

     This weeping and wailing is both the emotional and physical condition of the rejected man.  I would like to point out that the gnashing of teeth is more than just pain, it is the continued blasphemous words of defiance still being uttered and directed toward God; the tears comes NOT from repentance, but from relentless pain.

Outer darkness is worse than the physical pain of Hell, it is the total SEPARATION from God.

 

Post 1 - Matthew 8:12 – Weeping and gnashing of teeth
12 while the sons of the kingdom will be thrown into the outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” (ESV)

Post 2 - Matthew 22:13 – Weeping and gnashing of teeth

13 Then the king said to the attendants, ‘Bind him hand and foot and cast him into the outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’ (ESV)

Post 3 - Matthew 24:51 - Weeping and gnashing of teeth
51 and will cut him in pieces and put him with the hypocrites. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
(ESV)

Post 4 - Matthew 25:30 - Weeping and gnashing of teeth
30 And cast the worthless servant into the outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
(ESV)

Post 5 - Luke 13:28 -Weeping and gnashing of teeth
28 In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God but you yourselves cast out.
(ESV)

Post 6 - Matthew 13:42 - WAILING and gnashing of teeth
42 and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
(NKJV)

Post 7 - Matthew 13:50 - WAILING and gnashing of teeth
50 and cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth."

(NKJV)

ECP

     Eternal Conscious Punishment:  There is a view that ONLY the believer will have eternal life. This is true, eternal life is a gift from Jesus Christ that the Un-believer does not receive,[32] but that does not mean the un-believer ceases to exist.  Life and death are both forms of existence; the unbeliever will still exist and stand at his own judgment.[33]

     In the Story of Lazarus and the rich man, we find Lazarus in a section of Hell know as Paradise or Abraham’s bosom and the rich man on the other side of Hell known as torment with a great gulf fixed between the two.   It should be noted that they both still existed, this would rule out the doctrine of “Annihilation”, which I formally embraced as truth. 

     This parable is believed to be a true story since this is the only time a person was specifically named in one of the parables told by Jesus.  In the story of the three Hebrew boys cast bound into the fiery furnace; by God’s design they were unbound, walking around, unhurt and their clothes didn’t even smell like smoke.[34] 

     Did you see it?  God can cause people to exist un-consumed, even in a burning fire that was stoked seven times hotter than normal. Seven is “completeness”, meaning Nebuchadnezzar making the fire seven times as hot, was making it as hot as he possibly could.[35]  In the story of Moses, the burning bush by design was not consumed.[36]

     Scripture teaches that by God’s will, design and plan, that in Hell’s fire even the worm does not die.[37]  There is endless food provided by the un-believing wicked and the fire is never quenched; it is ETERNAL CONSCIOUS PUNISHMENT.

     This Eternal Fire was not prepared for man, but for Satan and his angels,[38] however those that rebel like Satan and his Angels will inherit their same fate.  The Bible refers to them as those on His LEFT; the cursed, the goats, the tares, the weeds. (Interestingly, today we refer to those on the LEFT as extremist and those on the RIGHT as conservative.)

     To make it clear, GOD said the unbeliever will be in un-ending misery, tormented day and night, forever and ever.  A Non-entity cannot receive punishment; a punishment that cannot be felt is not punishment.  Punishment is indescribable suffering; suffering is pain, the un-believer is an “entity” in ETERNAL CONSCIOUS PUNISHMENT. [39]

 

Degrees of Punishment

     Although Hell is Hell; if it is of any conciliation to you; Hell will be worse for some people than for others.[40]  There will be degrees of punishment to look forward to.  The more that you have been given, the more that will be required of you, [41] the more you know, but did not act on, the more severe will be your punishment.  

Based on degrees of culpability, there will be so to speak,

few lashes” vs; “many lashes” of the whip.[42]

Terminology

     To destroy something is to ruin it or make it unfit for that which it is was originally designed to be or do. A Car that has been compacted FLAT can no longer function as a car, but it does not cease to exist.  A Soul is utterly destroyed, ruined, made unfit for what it was created when it is cast into utter darkness and separated from the light of God; it is destroyed, but it still exists.  Forever and Ever is used over and over to emphasize the concept of ETERNITY.

     Limited Eternity: You cannot limit the duration of punishment for the un-believer without limiting the duration of eternal life for the believer; they are both FOREVER.

 

     Hell is both a “State” and a “Place”.

*      A State: You have lost the blessings of God and are out of His presence and His light; in darkness where you are cursed and condemned.

*      A Place: A prison where you are in indescribable ceaseless misery and torment day and night, forever and ever and ever.  A place without hope; only tears of pain and voices of rebellion.  Satan, Fallen Angels, Demons, Unbelievers and Make-believers are not the same, all have different natures, however make no mistake, they will all share in the same ultimate fate; the Lake of Fire.

 

     I would like to point out here that Satan is not in charge of Hell; he is just one of the boys in TORMENT; he can change nothing.

 

The Nature of God

     God is Omni-present; He is present in Hell, NOT his light nor His Love, but the absence of his Light, leaving only the Darkness and His WRATH.  God cannot act contrary to His Holy nature, therefore there are some things God cannot do; He cannot Lie nor break His covenant.  In Him there is no variation or changing of His Nature.[43]

     God Hates Sin because sin comes from Satan and Satan is the Father of Sin.   When we are born we are born in Sin; that makes Satan our Father, therefore we need to be “Born Again” through the Son of God.   Jesus Christ appeared to destroy the sinful works of Satan.[44]  God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our sin, so that we could be made right with God through Christ.[45]

     The Omnipotence of God: God has after a fashion, restricted His own Omnipotence (all-powerfulness) by the very act of creating man with FREE WILL; the ability to choose.  Because of Free Will the people in His own home town CHOOSE to NOT believe in Jesus the Christ, the Son of the living God; so with so little FAITH, He could do no mighty work there.[46]

     The Ultimate work of the Cross is the Love of Christ summoning us to Repentance and to Faith. It’s the trumpet call of the night watchman;[47] you can WAKE UP and get ready or you can go back to sleep.  The Watchman has done His part, the rest is up to you.  In the tribology movie THE MATRIX, Neo is told; “I can only show you the door, YOU MUST DECIDE to go through it.”

 

God’s Wrath

     I dug out my basement and built a retaining wall with cement blocks.  One night after a big rain, I heard very low frequency sounds coming from my basement which I could feel lying in my bed; deep sounds like the breaking of bones.  Water had accumulated behind my new walls and slowly began to bow it out.  First just a quarter of an inch, then the rain filled that up and then it moved out another quarter of an inch till finally so much water had continued to accumulate behind the wall that it pushed down the whole wall moving all the furniture in front of it… What a disaster

     God’s Wrath is accumulating behind the walls of our society and we can already see the cracks, and one day if we do not shore up the wall with repentance and prayer, HIS WRATH[48] will burst through with fury; there in NO DOUBT;[49] it’s in the Book.

     God is not a harmless God; He executed those who presumptuously touched His Ark.[50]  Jesus overthrew the loan shark’s tables in the temple and then threw the merchants out.[51]

     Our problem is we just don’t HATE sin like God Hates sin.  In the past God has cut loose a company of destroying angels that made a path for his WRATH.[52]  The purpose of God’s wrath is not so much to punish, but to REFORM; to ultimately produce GOOD[53], because God takes no pleasure in the death of the Wicked.[54]  God’s Wrath is actually a COURSE CORRECTOR of Love. [55]

 

The Make Believer

     Sunday Christian: A follower of Christ can go to Sunday School and Church, sing the songs of Praise,  enter into prayer, be a part of laying hands on the sick, see the Holy Spirit at work in healings and miracles, taste the sweetness of communion with the other saints… And still not be a part of the Faith.  This week in Charleston, SC; a young man worshipped and prayed for an hour in church and then killed nine of the people who welcomed him into their congregation.

     How can you fall away from the Faith? The Bible teaches that once you are saved you are always saved.  As Jesus taught His followers, they experienced the miracles of healings; the casting out of demons; the feeding of thousands and tasted the power of the Holy Spirit; but at some point they could not spiritually discern His teachings which caused them to WALK AWAY.[56]

     IT IS IMPOSSIBLE for someone like this, within their own ability and power to come back to the Faith;[57] except by the GRACE of Jesus Christ, with Him all things are possible.[58]  According to the Book, the rain waters ALL the soil, some good and some not so good.[59]  Some bring forth good vegetation and some bring up worthless weeds, thorns and thistles; but both got the same water.

     A True Believer will not leave the Faith; a Make-Believer will; this proves that they were never a part of the Faith to begin with.  How can you know if you are a True Believer?  God said, you will know a True Believer by their fruits’; their actions.[60]  Take a close look at your “check book”; listen to your speech and your SONGS; look at your activities; do they honor God or bring shame?

     The FRUIT of the Spirit has nine expressions; but all nine of them are exhibited as just ONE fruit: Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness and Self-Control.[61] They are utilized along with the GIFTS of the Spirit for the perfecting of the Saints and the building up of the Church body.[62]  Therein lies the question; does your actions build up the Church and strive for the perfection that is offered through Jesus Christ?

     When Adam and Eve sinned they DID NOT CONFESS their sin and seek forgiveness, instead they BLAMED each other as well as GOD for their actions. Obedience brings Mercy & Blessings; disobedience brings Judgment.  

     Lip Service: Are you just going through the motions, having only “a form of Godliness”?[63]  Is God’s word spoken through your mouth, but not spoken in your actions?   We are told to examine ourselves before we take part in communion;[64] do we have unconfessed sin?  Do we need a “course correction” in our life?

     God does not have any STEP CHILDREN; only Children.  You are NOT a child of God because your Mama is, life is Choice Driven.  Are you a Believer or a Make-Believer?

 

Description of a Believer

     How can you identify a Christian? You will know them by their fruits, their works;[65] your checkbook will tell you where your heart is.  We do NOT do good WORKS to BE saved; we do good WORKS because we ARE saved.

     The Sermon on the Mount is not about promises of blessings to the child of God, but is a DESCRIPTION of the child of God.[66]  NOTE:  Seven in the Bible is the number for completeness.

1)      They are not proud in spirit; they know that they are spiritually bankrupt and can offer God nothing.

2)     They mourn over perishing souls; they anguish over sins of others, they want righteousness to prevail and have compassion for injustice and afflictions.

3)     They are meek, mild and kind; bearing patiently. They do not murmur or seek power and they accept opposition, insults and provocations.

4)     They Hunger and thirst to do God’s will; to know Christ and to make Christ known.

5)     They are merciful because they themselves have received mercy and compassion and show this compassion and mercy even when it not convenient. They do not show mercy to get mercy.

6)     They are pure in heart with singleness of purpose, there is no hidden motives or self-interest, they are utterly sincere in their faith.

7)     They are peacemakers, not only keeping the peace, but bringing men into harmony with each other.  They Work to calm the waters fulling knowing that many will resent their efforts.

 

The Plan

     God has put into effect the Plan of Salvation and has offered it freely to all; some by their own FREE WILL choice will ultimately reject it.  No one is “forced” to receive the Free Gift to enter the family of God; your Life is Choice Driven.

     The Holy Spirit plants the Seed within the Believer, We get to water it and God does the harvesting as He separates the weeds from the wheat.  Sadly; even though the Seed is sown in all people, some hearts are just too hard for the seed to take root, people are just too concerned with the cares of this world enabling Satan to steal their seed.[67]

     Does unbelief in God nullify His existence?[68]  Shake your fist in the air, kick up dust, tear your clothes, shout obscenities; none of this nullifies the existence God.

     The Atheist would say, “Show me where God is” and I would say, “Show me where God isn’t”.

The Grand Reunion is when our spirit personalities re-unite with our bodies; some old, some new and spend everlasting eternity somewhere.  The eternal destiny of the individual soul is settled, established and fixed before his death and is irrevocable.  We will have Infinite happiness or indescribable distress; all who are in hell have chosen it.

     The Decision to follow Christ is not “Fire Insurance” to find a “loop hole” to avoid Hell, but is the seriousness of living out a life that is pleasing to God.  It’s not enough that the Believer has been saved from the fate of Hell; but they are also called to mourn over perishing souls, to anguish over sin, to want righteousness to prevail, to have compassion for injustice and afflictions, to reach out in tears, prayers and actions to those who are still perishing in an effort to keep their name from being blotted out of the BOOK OF LIFE.  The wages of sin is death and one day there will be a PAY DAY.[69]

     Everyone’s name has already been written in the BOOK OF LIFE, but it’s up to us individually to CHOOSE whether our name stays there or is blotted out.[70]

 

By your words you are acquitted or condemned

 

But I tell you that men will have to give account on the Day of Judgment

for every careless (blasphemous) word they have spoken.

For by your words you will be acquitted,

and by your words you will be condemned. [71]

For out of the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks.[72]
