Hebrews 12

1Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,

1 Corinthians 9:24
Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.

Why are we continually told to run a  race and have endurance (patience) if we are guaranteed salvation no matter what we do? Why are we told to endure until the end (physical death) if we cannot depart from God? God is faithful, so does that automatically mean that we will be? Continue Reading »

The context of this chapter comes from vs.1″Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations.”

This is telling the strong in faith to receive the weak in faith. An example given is of the strong in faith knowing he can eat all meats. He has studied and knows Jesus made all meats clean by his death on the cross, removing the idea of a man being clean or unclean as a result of what he eats.

1^st Tim.4:4 “For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:”

But the weak brother , or newly born-again Christian, has not yet come to that knowledge. If he remains faithful and studies God’s word the Lord will reveal to him in the scriptures the truth on the matter and he will receive it, IF he has a love for the truth.

The disciples could not receive everything the Lord had to say at first.

Jn.16:12” I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.”

Notice the Lord said “now”. With time the Lord revealed all things to them. Continue Reading »

Once Saved Always Saved (Ezekiel and Jeremiah)

Ezekiel 11:19-20 And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them an heart of flesh:

20 That they may walk in my statutes, and keep mine ordinances, and do them: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God

Jeremiah 32:40 And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from them, to do them good; but I will put my fear in their hearts, that they shall not depart from me.

Ezekiel and Jeremiah are common reference places for OSAS believers to go to when trying to prove a lie. They want to deceive those who are unaware into thinking that these verses are speaking to the Gentiles now when in fact it is speaking to Israel later, that is, in New Jerusalem. Continue Reading »

The Doctrine of “Pre-Tribulation Rapture” as put forth by Jack Chick Publications

With Analysis & Comment by Tom Forbes, Pstr.

“tomandlindaforbes@yahoo.com”

Below is the complete text of a 15 page “rapture” study/letter, received, February 8, 2007, by Daniel Dominguez, ostensibly from Jack Chick Publications, although we cannot yet be certain of the exact source within Chick Publications, as the organization has so far refused to respond to our attempts to confirm it. Because of the extremely Satanic nature of the methods used to wrest scripture within this “rapture” paper, we wished to determine whether Mr. Chick is personally the author of this material. The anti-scriptural position of Chick Publications with respect to the subject of resurrection is widely disseminated by its “Chaos” comic book and other tracts, which is consistent with the doctrines it has presented to us here; and it is rather well established that the letter, in fact, came from Mr. Chick’s organization; but I use his name from here forward as meaning himself, personally, or someone connected with him. Mr. Chick sent his letter via internet to Mr. Dominguez’ “My Space” subsequent to reading the Forbes “Pre-Trib Rapture” bible study posted there earlier, which was the attachment point of the letter sent by Mr. Chick. Mr. Dominguez had just previously joined Mr. Chick’s “friends” list on his “My Space” site. (The Forbes bible study is a presentation of bible verses which state plainly when the “resurrection” takes place; exposing the wildly popular “Pre-Tribulation Rapture” as a Satanic hoax.)

(An Open Letter to Born Again Christians)

Greetings in the Lord Jesus Christ,

The bible describes a six thousand year old conspiracy to rule the world that will end in unbridled wickedness, deception, poverty, wars, starvation, and global genocide.  The book of Revelation further reveals that Satan, as “the beast,” will cause mankind to receive a “mark” in these times which is both a means whereby the world is brought into total slavery and a personal evidence against those who take part in the scheme.  The “mark of the beast” seals the doom of all who “receive” it (Rev 14:9-11), yet, despite the Lord’s warnings in the matter, everyone will receive it (Rev 13:16), with the exception of those who serve Jesus Christ “in spirit and in truth” (Jn 4:23-24).  Confusion on this topic is epidemic in the churches, indicating that the stage is set for the mark to be introduced.  “Mainstream Christianity” has been led to foolish speculation and doctrinal chaos precisely where the Lord called for discernment and understanding (Mat 16:2-3).  The intent behind this letter is that Christians would examine their beliefs in the pure light of God’s word, consider the Lord’s marvelous warnings, and survive the spiritual minefield designed to destroy them (Mat 24:13).

You don’t have to go far to find out the true meaning of Easter. In fact, if you look up Easter in a Webster’s Dictionary the first line will say, “Easter is a name of an old Teutonic goddess of Spring.” Today Easter is celebrated on the first Sunday on or after the first full moon that follows the vernal Equinox. Around the world various pagan rituals were exercised in celebration of the return of the sun. In Germany, for example, they worshiped Ostara, the Germanic fertility Goddess, on this day. The English word for Easter was derived from her name. Continue Reading »

Halloween a day celebrated around the world when people dress up in costumes, collect candy from neighbors and have parties, but do you ever take time to think about the origins of Halloween? Most people don’t think twice about participating in it saying “It’s all in fun” or “It’s not evil to me”, but is this so called hallow evening really so innocent? Are there ties to paganism and Satanism? Shall we as Christians celebrate Halloween or should we have an alternative name for it like Harvest Festival?  Before we get into those questions let’s take a closer look at the history of this night and how it all started.
