There is no peace, saith the LORD, unto the wicked. (Isaiah 48:22)
For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?(Mark 8:36)
And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth. Luke 12:15)
I was shocked to read a letter from a ‘Christian minister’ (see letter below) that ends with the phrase ‘May Michael Jackson’s soul rest in peace!’’. Whenever a person dies even if that person was in the occult, you HEAR Christians say may his or her soul rest in peace. How can your soul rest in peace when you rejected the lord Jesus Christ in your life time.
How CAN the king of Pop Michael Jackson rest in peace when he had connections with the occult. Evidence speaks loudly that Michael Jackson sold his SOUL TO THE DEVIL.
He ate the world but lost his soul. This should be a lesson to all Christians and non Christians that we are going to face the lord JESUS one day. WE MUST BE BORN AGAIN before that time or else no heaven. Check out the videos below. I urge all born again christians to watch the video THEY SOLD THEIR SOULD FOR ROCK AND ROLL.

Michael Jackson; a subject for theological reflection
http://www.monitor.co.ug/artman/publish/opinions/Michael_Jackson_a_subject_for_theological_reflection_printer.shtml
Posted in: Opinions

Michael Jackson should and will be a subject not only for journalistic comment or sociological and artistic study, but also for theological reflection. This suggestion might come as a surprise considering that unlike Bob Marley or Lucky Dube, Jackson does not mention God or spiritual subjects. And unlike Elvis Presley, it has not been said of Jackson that he was more famous than Jesus Christ. Does the suggestion to turn Jackson into a subject for theological reflection meant to inappropriately smuggle the famous King of Pop into the theological arena or turn him into a theological subject? No, because theological reflection does not limit itself to a few subjects, but reflects on any subject that impacts human beings and human history in a significant way. It is, therefore, not surprising that Jackson’s life has been described as iconic.
An icon is something or somebody that reflects depth in human life and helps humans to understand themselves better. It is a mirror reflecting human beings to themselves. The reason Jackson was famous was because he touched something very deep inside human beings.
He was able to transcend his own culture in USA , the West, South America and Africa, but appealed to people in India, Japan and China among others. However, we should see the genesis of his musical talent in the history and culture of USA and of Black America in particular. He must have been touched and gained inspiration from the Black soul tradition, which had its origins in religious experience. Not mystical experience as such but an experience that spoke from the depths, about suffering, endurance, and overcoming. Jackson’s Blackness is also crucial, for he brought stardom, hitherto restricted to White achievement, to the Black race. His talent is therefore a cultural contribution of the Black people to the culture of the world.
Michael tapped into the deep energy and creativity at the heart of human life, for music comes from the depths. It is part of creation itself. Music has a divine quality about it. A song that is popular in Christian circles in schools in Uganda says that Jesus is Lord of (the) dance. Song and dance is an imitation of the singing and dancing God. God has got style and moves with grace. The greatest gifts we have from the divine are creativity and imagination.
Another aspect of Jackson’s life that calls for theological reflection is the controversy surrounding his life.
There is a sense in which Jackson was a tragic figure. He was an extremely vulnerable, some would say insecure person. That made him love children, but it also rendered him susceptible to charges of child sexual abuse.
Perhaps the most controversial aspect was the plastic surgery, which turned his handsome baby-face into a kind of whitish mask. The actual cause of this death is yet to be established, but it is now common knowledge that his reliance on medication to relieve many of his physical and mental ailments might have been fatal.
But Jackson’s life is also a parable about the life of each one of us: Our vulnerability and capacity to self-destruct. And his tragic death says volumes about a fact which stairs us direct in the face, but which we often refuse to acknowledge - that death has no formula, that death is no respecter of persons, and that it does not take the elderly. May Michael Jackson’s soul rest in peace!

The Poor African Born agains think working in Iraq is a blessing from God: ‘Ugandans subjected to slavery in Iraq’
Uganda Pentecostal Churches and the War in Iraq
Whomsoever will save his life shall loose it…(Luke 9:24)
Many Pentecostals churches IN Uganda are wash with testimonies of their faithfuls who were blessed by God because they served in Iraq as guards . Some of these people protect facilities of US army in Iraq. Some of the people who have served in Iraq are church ministers. Despite the fact that many people have amassed wealth from Iraq, God has nothing to do with this ‘blessing’. The god behind the war in Iraq is satan. It is amazing how born again saints are very willing to surrender their children to the devil for the sake of prosperity.

This case shows the deception in the church . Many born again christians are not concerned about truth any more. What they want from the Lord Jesus Christ is material prosperity and prestige. They are ready to support the oppression of the poor for the sake of prosperity . God used the war in Iraq to test the hearts of men. Many Pastors and Christians in America and else where who supported the war in Iraq have been exposed by God. Many non-believers hate Christianity because of this level of hypocrisy.

‘Ugandans subjected to slavery in Iraq’
http://www.newvision.co.ug/D/8/13/685813
Wednesday, 24th June, 2009
By Henry Mukasa, Cyprian Musoke and Simon Longoli
Parliament yesterday heard of how some female Ugandans taken to Iraq with promises of lucrative jobs, ended up trapped in slavery and forced sex.
Makindye West MP Hussein Kyanjo (JEEMA) told the House presided over by the deputy Speaker, Rebecca Kadaga, he had spoken with five of the victims over the phone.
He said the women were promised secretarial jobs but ended up as house maids.
“They were used for other things outside the agreed work,” Kyanjo said.
“Although they were promised $400, none of them has received payment. They tried to raise these issues with the people they were working for.”
“Unfortunately, they were picked up and put in what appears to be a ‘safe house’,” Kyanjo narrated to an attentive House.
“They talked to me one after another. They said they are frequently beaten by their masters,” added Kyanjo.
The MP reported that the stranded girls were taken to Iraq by a company, Uganda Veterans which has offices in Muyenga, a Kampala suburb.
According to the MP, the women recall they dealt with Godfrey Karingiri, a one Kyalimpa and Gordon, all officials at the company.
He said the girls include Rachel and Mable Malagala, daughters of Mrs. Joyce Semakula of Katwe in Makindye Division and Doreen Nalubwama Kisakye, a daughter of Christopher Sempala of Nakulabye Eliot Zone in Rubaga Division.
Others are Enid Tushabe of Jeremiah Karuhanga from Kanyaryeru in Kiruhura and Sanyu Nakazibwe, a daughter to Sarah Nassimbwa of Makerere Kivulu in Kawempe Division.
“The girls have requested me to ask Parliament to find a way of bringing them back,” Kyanjo said.
He added: “I ask Parliament to direct the ministries of gender and labour and that of foreign affairs to explain how the purported company is running. Parliament should stop this company,” he appealed. Kyanjo said he had reported the girls’ plight to the Uganda Human Rights Commission, Foundation for Human Rights Initiative and the Human Rights Watch.
Kadaga said if the report was true it would be tantamount to human trafficking by disguise.
She directed the clerk to take up the matter with the two ministries.
Both ministers and their deputies did not attend Parliament.
Sebuliba Mutumba (DP) said the case showed the urgency for the Government to design a policy for kyeyo seekers and companies ferrying them.
“They are being abused, raped and defiled.”

AMERICAN SAINT NARRATES WHAT TOOK PLACE AT BENNY HINN HOOD WINKING HOLYSPIRIT FIRE CONFERENCE IN KAMPALA
Hoodwinking 101
http://www.lastingfoundations.com/jeremyblog/index.htm#090617
JUNE, 17, 2009
I can now say with complete confidence that the ‘healings’ going on at Toufik Benedictus (Benny) Hinn’s crusades are not genuine.
Over the years, both secular and Christian media have investigated Benny Hinn Ministries, and to date, not one iota of concrete evidence has been provided to aid in the validation of these ‘miracles.’
During the Fire Conference I attended in Kampala, many people were ‘healed,’ but in every case something invisible was supposedly cured. Bad circulation, or stomach cancer, or some nebulous pain only cap the list of visually unverifiable ‘miracles.’
A senior staff member with BHM even told me directly, “I don’t believe all of the miracles.”
I could write for hours on this one point, on the scam of it, on how Benny Hinn and all those associated with him will have to answer to God regarding those whose money they have stolen. That’s not to mention answering for those poor souls who died due to lack of medical treatment after Benny told them they were cured.
But these things have been written on at length, and a simple Google search will bring up ample reading material. Instead, I want to examine the machinery used to get people to believe this fraud is genuine.
The closest thing to which I can compare Benny’s conference is a rock concert. It starts with some lesser-known opening act (in this case a local choir), which is used to warm up the crowd. After roughly an hour of people singing and jumping, the main act takes center stage. Never in my life have I heard a concert crowd applaud and cheer as loudly as the Miracle Center Cathedral folks did for Benny Hinn.
Summertime in Kampala gets hot. I think it was only about 90 degrees that day, but the humidity was pushing 90%. Ten thousand people, all dressed in their Sunday best (I was in a full suit and tie) are then crammed into an auditorium with no air conditioning. Bottom line, the heat is stifling.
The doors to the event were opened many hours in advance, and in a country where people are typically late nearly, everyone had arrived at least two hours before the event started. With the exception of those lucky few in the front row, there was no water available. No one at all had food. So, by the time Benny actually took the stage, the entire crowd had been without access to food or water for roughly three to four hours.
The African people do not yet have the same skepticism most Americans do when it comes to televangelists. That skepticism is beginning to spread among the younger generation here, but as many pastors have told us, if someone from America says it on TV, it’s still taken as gospel by most people here. Benny Hinn is widely known from his This is Your Day program on TBN, and most of the people at that convention know only what they’ve seen on that program. They don’t know about the controversy. They don’t know that he has been investigated by a number of different organizations. They don’t know there’s no real evidence for his ‘miracles.’
They just believe.
There’s the scene. A larger-than-life figure purporting to bring a ‘healing anointing’ with him walks into a sauna-like room filled with tired, hungry, thirsty, desperate souls. Then he says the magic words…
“Oh my, I came here tonight intending to teach, but there’s just a tremendous spirit of healing here tonight.”
Pandemonium erupts.
Some people think that Benny’s organization plants all of the people that get ‘healed.’ I don’t believe that’s the case. They may plant some, but I don’t think they need to plant all of them. In medicine, there’s a phenomenon known as the Placebo Effect. In studies with patients who have terrible pain, they have given sugar pills to these patients telling them it’s a form of morphine. An overwhelming percentage of them report feeling a marked decrease in their pain. They believed the pill would make them feel better, so they felt better.
The vast majority of the ‘miracles’ that took place in Kampala can be explained by the Placebo Effect. You get a huge, hysterical crowd together, get them tired, hungry and thirsty so their mental acuity is somewhat dimmed, and tell them that, “Someone over to my left is feeling electricity going up and down their left leg. A circulation problem has just been healed.” Electricity is so vague a term that any number of people might feel it under those circumstances, and a ‘spirit of healing’ would have nothing to do with it.
This went on for well over an hour. When the crowd would get tired of standing, Benny would get animated and tell everyone to lift their hands to heaven in thanksgiving. Suddenly everyone would rise again. If someone tried to sit down, Benny would call to them directly and implore them to rise. In this manner was the hysteria prolonged.
But even this must be controlled. Benny carries with him some massive bodyguards, and these fellows, with earphones tucked into their collars, control the crowd of people trying to approach the stage to give a testimony of their ‘healing.’ My front row seat gave me a clear view of the largest fellow getting frustrated with lower-level bouncers for bringing the wrong person forward at the wrong time. The cameras never capture this.
I am also not surprised in the least that people fall backwards when Benny touches their chins. Everyone believes something will happen, so the Placebo Effect takes over. This ‘slaying in the Spirit’ is nothing more than exhausted people overcome with emotion. In more than one instance I observed the fellows who were supposed to ‘catch’ the falling people actually gently pull them down when they weren’t falling of their own accord.
The whole thing sickened me. I spent the entire weekend awestruck that these people could allow themselves to be so deceived. I was even more amazed at how comfortable everyone involved was at using the crowd’s belief and emotional fervor against them.
In the course of the weekend, that fervor combined with polluted teaching (see my post Blessings by Bribery for more on this) saw BHM leave town at least $800,000 richer than they arrived.
And in their wake, they leave boys like the one that approached me as I was trying to leave on Saturday night. Being the only white guy there in a suit not with BHM, I was approached by several people over the course of the weekend who thought I was a pastor with the conference.
This boy pulled me over to his friend. This friend was laying on the ground, covered in a blanket, a cripple. The boy implored me to help his friend. I was on the verge of tears as I tried to explain to this kid that I wasn’t with the ministry, and there was nothing that I could do.
“Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.” Matt. 7:15
If Christ wasn’t talking about men like Benny, then I can’t imagine who would fit that bill.

The Un-gospel
The Un-gospel
http://www.lastingfoundations.com/jeremyblog/index.htm#090617
The greatest threat to new believers is not persecution. Even the baby Christian who has genuinely experienced the rebirth and new life of Christ can stand when things get rough. The greatest threat is not other religions. That same baby Christian would not trade his new life for an old death.
No, the greatest threat facing new or immature believers is the “other gospel.”
This threat is insidious. It masquerades as the “new life.” It uses all of the right jargon. Words like “Christ,” “love,” “life,” “restoration,” etc., get thrown around like candy from a parade float. And they’re often thrown by what seem like the nicest, most genuine, kind-hearted people in the world.
In America, a movement called Emergence Christianity holds the position of the most popular other gospel. Each year, millions of people (often teenagers or college students) join the ever-swelling ranks of these that still use Christ’s name, but hold no regard for His Word. They have determined that while we might be able to trust it, we cannot be trusted to understand it. Therefore, no one can claim to know what he really wants from us. All we can do is join in the Great Conversation. Gay or lesbian? Please, join in, they say. There’s room for all on the broad path. Their gospel is one of social reconciliation, an establishment of God’s kingdom on the earth now through peace, understanding and tolerance.
Africa has not yet seen the influx of “emergence” that America has. I have no doubt that it’s coming, for such lies know no borders, but for now, it remains confined to America and Europe. Africa faces a different scourge, and the enemy has tailored it precisely for these circumstances.
Here, the prosperity gospel is the order of the day. Proponents of this gospel prey on the difficult circumstances faced by these people, many of who live in the slums with open sewage flowing down Main Street. They twist stories in the Bible to say that just as God healed this person or allowed that person to prosper, he will do the same for them. If only they’ll first “plant a seed” (i.e., give me your money now so God will be forced to bless you later).
I witnessed this first hand a few weeks back. The pastor of one of the larger churches in Nairobi used the story in II Kings 6-7, where Syria had come against Israel. In the first verse of chapter 7, God promises that “tomorrow about this time” all shall again be well.
The promise was made for that people at that time in that situation. It was not made for all people for all time. Yet this pastor stood in front of over a thousand people and told them to pray and believe to “claim that this time tomorrow I will have my miracle, in Jesus name.”
This same pastor actually said that he doesn’t like to preach the cross. He instead wants to preach “beyond the cross.” I don’t understand this. What is there beyond the cross? What have we but our hope in what Christ purchased for us?
This prosperity gospel resides not “beyond the cross,” but completely and totally separated from the cross. The two are not even related. It is a different gospel, and such is the most prominently preached form of “Christianity” in Kenya. It has seeped into the churches, and it parades on TV. From the “TBN Africa” pulpit, Benny Hinn and Rod Parsley line their own pockets by preying on the fears and hopes of an ignorant audience.
Christ, and him crucified, is the only Gospel preached in the New Testament. Paul had harsh words for anyone preaching anything else:
“I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.” Gal. 1.6-8
The grace of Christ, which has purchased our freedom from sin, is the only Gospel. If anyone preaches anything else, he is to be accursed. It may sound harsh, but this is not my judgment. It is the judgment of the Word of God.
We must stand firm on Christ, our only foundation, and strongly proclaim the truth so young Christians will not be led astray by such lies.

The greatest threat to new believers is not persecution. Even the baby Christian who has genuinely experienced the rebirth and new life of Christ can stand when things get rough. The greatest threat is not other religions. That same baby Christian would not trade his new life for an old death.
No, the greatest threat facing new or immature believers is the “other gospel.”
This threat is insidious. It masquerades as the “new life.” It uses all of the right jargon. Words like “Christ,” “love,” “life,” “restoration,” etc., get thrown around like candy from a parade float. And they’re often thrown by what seem like the nicest, most genuine, kind-hearted people in the world.
In America, a movement called Emergence Christianity holds the position of the most popular other gospel. Each year, millions of people (often teenagers or college students) join the ever-swelling ranks of these that still use Christ’s name, but hold no regard for His Word. They have determined that while we might be able to trust it, we cannot be trusted to understand it. Therefore, no one can claim to know what he really wants from us. All we can do is join in the Great Conversation. Gay or lesbian? Please, join in, they say. There’s room for all on the broad path. Their gospel is one of social reconciliation, an establishment of God’s kingdom on the earth now through peace, understanding and tolerance.
Africa has not yet seen the influx of “emergence” that America has. I have no doubt that it’s coming, for such lies know no borders, but for now, it remains confined to America and Europe. Africa faces a different scourge, and the enemy has tailored it precisely for these circumstances.
Here, the prosperity gospel is the order of the day. Proponents of this gospel prey on the difficult circumstances faced by these people, many of who live in the slums with open sewage flowing down Main Street. They twist stories in the Bible to say that just as God healed this person or allowed that person to prosper, he will do the same for them. If only they’ll first “plant a seed” (i.e., give me your money now so God will be forced to bless you later).
I witnessed this first hand a few weeks back. The pastor of one of the larger churches in Nairobi used the story in II Kings 6-7, where Syria had come against Israel. In the first verse of chapter 7, God promises that “tomorrow about this time” all shall again be well.
The promise was made for that people at that time in that situation. It was not made for all people for all time. Yet this pastor stood in front of over a thousand people and told them to pray and believe to “claim that this time tomorrow I will have my miracle, in Jesus name.”
This same pastor actually said that he doesn’t like to preach the cross. He instead wants to preach “beyond the cross.” I don’t understand this. What is there beyond the cross? What have we but our hope in what Christ purchased for us?
This prosperity gospel resides not “beyond the cross,” but completely and totally separated from the cross. The two are not even related. It is a different gospel, and such is the most prominently preached form of “Christianity” in Kenya. It has seeped into the churches, and it parades on TV. From the “TBN Africa” pulpit, Benny Hinn and Rod Parsley line their own pockets by preying on the fears and hopes of an ignorant audience.
Christ, and him crucified, is the only Gospel preached in the New Testament. Paul had harsh words for anyone preaching anything else:
“I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.” Gal. 1.6-8
The grace of Christ, which has purchased our freedom from sin, is the only Gospel. If anyone preaches anything else, he is to be accursed. It may sound harsh, but this is not my judgment. It is the judgment of the Word of God.
We must stand firm on Christ, our only foundation, and strongly proclaim the truth so young Christians will not be led astray by such lies.

ECOMOMIC CRISIS REDUCES AMERICAN TO PAUPERS
http://www.antipasministries.com/html/file0000308.htm
With the upsurge of the global economic crisis many people have lost and are yet to loose a lot wealth and money . If you have put your trust in the things of the world, you are headed for danger. If you commit suicide you will be with satan in hell. DO NOT DO IT DEAR SAINT. The lord Jesus Christ said:
My kingdom is not of this world(John 18:36)
Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: 20But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: 21For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.(Matthew 6:19-12)
The word of God categorically says that :
1If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. 2Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth(Colossians 3:1-2).
(15) Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
(16) For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
(17) And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.(1 John 2:15-18)
BE WARE OF THE HISS OF THE SERPENT UNDER THE LOGO ETERNAL SECURITY
There is a gospel of sin being propagated on the pulpit and on the net today by even born again PHD holders in theology and divinity. According to this gospel when you are born again, you can not be unborn; once you are saved you will always be saved. They argue that even if you commit suicide, even if you rape, steal, commit adultery, be addicted to porn, perform masturbation, be indulged in lesbianism and homosexuality, you can not loose your salvation. This is absolute rubbish- do not believe it, check out the word of God by your self. Do not trust PHDs, pastors, evangelists etc. Trust the word of God alone.
22Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, 23And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. 24Wherefore GOD ALSO GAVE THEM UP TO UNCLEANNESS THROUGH THE LUSTS OF THEIR OWN HEARTS, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: 25Who CHANGED THE TRUTH OF GOD INTO A LIE, and WORSHIPPED AND SERVED THE CREATURE MORE THAN THE CREATOR..(Romans 1:22- 25)

EXPOSING THE GOSPEL OF SIN : ETERNAL SECURITY, THE HUGE GAMBLE
http://watchmanafrica.blogspot.com/2009/06/eternal-security-huge-gamble.html
While answering what the bible says about suicide ‘’gotquestions.org’’ argues that:
‘’According to the Bible, suicide is not what determines whether a person gains entrance into heaven. If an unsaved person commits suicide, he has done nothing but “expedite” his journey to hell. However, that person who committed suicide will ultimately be in hell for rejecting salvation through Christ, not because he committed suicide. What does the Bible say about a Christian who commits suicide? The Bible teaches that from the moment we truly believe in Christ, we are guaranteed eternal life (John 3:16). According to the Bible, Christians can know beyond any doubt that they possess eternal life (1 John 5:13). Nothing can separate a Christian from God’s love (Romans 8:38-39). If no “created thing” can separate a Christian from God’s love, and even a Christian who commits suicide is a “created thing,” then not even suicide can separate a Christian from God’s love. Jesus died for all of our sins, and if a true Christian, in a time of spiritual attack and weakness, commits suicide, that would still be a sin covered by the blood of Christ’’.

This eternal security nonsense can even be logically challenged by a child. God’s warning to the seven churches in Asia proves beyond reasonable doubt that eternal security is a myth. These were not churches of sorcerers, New agers or Kabbalists. These were churches of born again Christian believers. God warns some of these churches that if they do not repent, they will lose their crowns. God never said do not worry guys, you once saved always saved.

PLANE TYCOON KILLS SELF OVER WIFE

http://www.redpepper.ug/details.php?item=1907&PHPSESSID=9420c3bfd9b91a01987531a040811f58
A few years ago, city businessman Johnson Tukamuhebwa Rahure walked down the aisle his wife, Loyce, at the registrar’s office in Kampala. The couple then flew in a chartered helicopter for a glamorous reception in Bwongyera, Kajara, Ntungamo district. At the reception, Tukamuhebwa described his wife as a ‘ball of fire’ who was ‘full of ideas and energy.’ Seven years down the road, the same woman turned Tukamuhebwa into a ‘businessman in despair’ after running down his entire business empire and chewing all his money like an ATM leading Tukamuhebwa to commit suicide.
Tukamuhebwa who has been a top Kikuubo businessman (Jesus Cares Shop, Plot 70) went missing on Wednesday last week and family members later recovered a suicide note on Saturday stating: “I have decided to commit suicide because my wife Loyce Tukamuhebwa swindled all the money I had invested in business. As a saved person I could not stand the shame.” A family member told this reporter last night that trouble befell the family last weekend when Tukamuhebwa received information that his cunning Loyce was siphoning money from the hard-earned shop and investing it in a secret multi-million housing project so far valued at Shs500m.
“Tukamuhebwa sold almost all his property to establish this business and therefore could not bear the consistent disappearance of cash at the hands of his wife,” a family source said.Among the properties he sold was a bungalow in Mengo at Shs180m, a house in Kisenyi at Shs100m and a farm of 100 cows in Kizaara, Ntungamo district at Shs60m. He also sold three mini buses and a recently acquired a Toyota Rav4 of UAK ...series. The money was injected in the shop but nothing can be seen on the ground as his heartless wife who managed the shop kept siphoning it.It is said that after realizing the poaching fingers in his wife, Tukamuhebwa picked his calculator on Wednesday and went into the store to do stock taking. To his horror, he discovered that the woman had almost nothing left yet they had just received a consignment of goods from Britannia worth Shs85m.
As fate would have it, on the same day the Britannia suppliers came to him and demanded for an advance payment of Shs45m which he could not raise.Tukamuhebwa whose success stemed from pushing a wheel barrow in Mulago could not stand what was before him and amidst bewilderment he scribbled: “whoever gets this note should search for my body and bury me next to my father’s grave in Kyamuntu-Bwongyera in Ntungamo district.” We have confirmed that that for a long time the couple has been entangled in financial wrangles that culminated into their separation six months ago. Tukamuhebwa later got saved and thinking that his rascal had learnt a lesson, he called her back. She returned and even promised to get saved, but fiend Loyce never kept her promise.
To fulfill her malevolence, Loyce made it impossible for her husband to work with his brothers in business, yet Tukamuhebwa was known to have brought his brothers to Kampala and trained them to succeed. She is also said to have made it impossible for them to get access to their matrimonial home after she labeled them thieves. The Police have started serious investigations coordinated by Kampala Extra Region CID Chief Kato. The Police also apprehended Loyce on Friday to assist in the investigations. She is being kept at Kampala Metropolitan station. Police said they have received information that a frustrated Tukamuhebwa was seen in Kyagwe heading to Bukunja road on Wednesday night where he is believed to have killed himself. “Whatever it takes we shall recover the body of Johnson and accord him a decent burial,” his brother James stated.Here below we reproduce the suicide note as written by the deceased, John Tukamuhebwa

The Suicide note (translated)
I am Johnson Tukamuhebwa, the son of the late F. Rahure. I’m bidding farewell to all of you who know me and those who do not know me. With much emphasis I’m saying good bye to my wife, all my children (boys and girls), brothers and sisters. Lastly I’m saying goodbye to my old mother who brought me into this world and raised me up without any damage on my body, may God bless her in every way and if God wishes we shall meet in heaven. What has driven me to part with my life is because of my wife Loyce who again ate all the Indians’ money.
I contemplated how I would go back to face the Indians and tell them again that my wife had eaten their money and it became impossible. Therefore, in order to keep away from such evil, I have nothing to say.
All I have to say is that my wife has again eaten the Indians’ money and this is what has pushed me to commit suicide and leave this life without any problem. Let me go and interface with Jesus on the Day of Judgment. Actually, the source of my death is Loyce Tukamuhebwa. Whoever lands on this letter should read it to everyone so that they know the reason I left this world.
I have gone to my father in heaven and may God who has given me time to leave this world without any one’s debt bless you. I send my regards to all the brethren in the entire world plus those I have been going with for salvation. All the debts are in the book of debts. I have left seven children; five boys and only two girls. My body should be laid to rest at Nshinje village. I wish my father and siblings a good burial ceremony and let nobody cry during the burial because I will be already with my father in heaven.
The author of this letter is myself; Johnson Tukamuhebwa.”

The Shoking Confession
Loyce Tukamuhebwa, the wife of the missing Kikuubo tycoon has exclusively spoken to Red Pepper and revealed what could have forced her husband to commit suicide.In a conversation with Red Pepper at Central Police Station, in Kampala soon after she was released from the cells yesterday, Loyce said her husband Johnson Tukamuhebwa who left a suicide note and has been missing for over a week now, had accumulated huge debts which he could not pay even if he sold his family.
Loyce, who looked distraught after spending four days in the coolers said her husband was living a resigned life after getting soaked in debts. Tukamuhebwa, a popular businessman in Kikubo went missing on Wednesday and family members later recovered a suicide note on Saturday stating: “I have decided to commit suicide because my wife Loyce Tukamuhebwa swindled all the money I had invested in business. As a saved person I could not stand the shame”.Relatives said Loyce endlessly emptied the safe of their hard-earned shop and invested the money in a multi-million housing project so far valued at Shs300m.
However, in a new twist of events, Loyce revealed last night that she did not steal any money saying a combination of high interest loans and failure to stock take for a period of more than two years contributed to the couple’s fall from the skies to a hovel. She said the family had accumulated debts of Shs1.2bn and that they had mortgaged everything including the incomplete Kajjansi house to which they retreated after selling off their palatial homes in Mengo and Kisenyi.“We had three debts; Shs30m loan owned to Centenary Bank, Shs40m and Shs50m from Britannia and Kakira sugar respectively but we also had other debts totalling to a billion shillings from friends” she said. She added “Now that he has been missing for a week, it’s gut-wrenching, thinking that either he has got a rich-ass girlfriend somewhere and he’s happy, or he’s dead.”
“But he is a firefighter, he’s a retired soldier, he’s a warrior. He may have gone somewhere to look for money.”
Loyce said she was still in love with Johnson and that their romance was blossoming. She said they had reconciled their differences and they were living as a happy born again couple.“After we reconciled, I have never annoyed my husband, even one bit. Not at all,” she said. Loyce described the day her husband went missing, saying he came at the shop, did stock taking and left the shop looking extremely angry. “At 11pm, I telephoned but he could not pick his calls. I sent him about 30 messages but he could not reply; I called my neighbors and told them. “Let’s continue to talk about this case. Let’s continue our search for Johnson, I still love him,” she said.
Meanwhile police last night held a meeting with Loyce and relatives of Johnson and agreed to re-open the shop. The meeting which took place in Room 74 at CPS was chaired by Kampala Extra CID Chief P.T Kato and was attended by Tumusiime Rahure (brother of the missing tycoon), plus sons and daughters.They agreed to release the woman since she was not directly responsible for the disappearance of the tycoon.Police also released the keys of the shop and instructed family members to choose a few people who should run the shop and pay some debts.
However, the children of the missing tycoon especially Lovance Nshemereirwe were said to be distraught.
Sources say she broke down after police discovered herbs and funny pots in her father’s house in Kajjansi. “I can’t imagine my dad is the one who has been using these herbs,” Lovance sobbed. A source close to the family said: “She was stunned to see the herbs in her father’s house yet he was born again.“She’s been really worried about him, especially as he’s lost for more than a week. She wanted him to see her graduate,” a friend said. It was in Lovance that Johnson confided before his mysterious disappearance. He gave him an ATM card with its pin number after crediting that account with Shs4m.He then told the sexy girl: “Goodbye honey, I have gone somewhere too far but you can use that money for fees or anything good just in case I take long to return.”
FINANCIAL BOOM
It was out of his hard work that Tukamuhebwa managed to construct two plush bungalows in Mengo-Kisenyi with a queue of over 30 tenants and a farm in Ntungamo which he was later forced to sell to offset debts.
That farm was worth Shs300m, but due to pressure he sold it off at a give-away price of Shs100m. The two houses in Mengo were sold at a mere Shs200m and Shs120m despite their strategic location. He used the money to clear off some debts, bought a Rav4 and built a smaller house in Kajjansi.Tukamuhebwa had established a huge empire of business connections in world trade centers like India, Dubai and Mombasa from where he would get goods on credit and was worth Shs 3bn at the height of his fame. But the money kept on dwindling.After financial woos continued to escalate, relatives of the deceased say he decided to join a money lending SACCO that they had formed with a group of businessmen at the Kitara C/U church.
WHO IS LOYCE
She was born in Kyamuntu, Bwongyera in Kajara. Her home is adjacent that of her husband. Being close neighbors, the two developed a cozy relationship in their childhood and usually romped from forests or on goat rearing sprees. This romance later grew into marriage. But shortly after, Loyce started to siphon her hubby’s dime, a situation that forced Tukamuhebwa to chase her and get saved. On learning of this, Loyce came up saying she had gotten saved as well. Unsuspecting, Tukamuhebwa accepted her back and the two revived their love until last week’s events.
Today a local new paper in Uganda was awash with a ‘saved’ tycoon who committed suicide after loosing virtually all his material wealth.
‘’Tukamuhebwa who has been a top Kikuubo businessman (Jesus Cares Shop, Plot 70) went missing on Wednesday last week and family members later recovered a suicide note on Saturday stating: “I have decided to commit suicide because my wife Loyce Tukamuhebwa swindled all the money I had invested in business.

He also sold three mini buses and a recently acquired a Toyota Rav4 of UAK ...series. The money was injected in the shop but nothing can be seen on the ground as his heartless wife who managed the shop kept siphoning it.It is said that after realizing the poaching fingers in his wife, Tukamuhebwa picked his calculator on Wednesday and went into the store to do stock taking. To his horror, he discovered that the woman had almost nothing left yet they had just received a consignment of goods from Britannia worth Shs85m.
As fate would have it, on the same day the Britannia suppliers came to him and demanded for an advance payment of Shs45m which he could not raise.Tukamuhebwa whose success stemed from pushing a wheel barrow in Mulago could not stand what was before him and amidst bewilderment he scribbled: “whoever gets this note should search for my body and bury me next to my father’s grave in Kyamuntu-Bwongyera in Ntungamo district.” We have confirmed that that for a long time the couple has been entangled in financial wrangles that culminated into their separation six months ago. Tukamuhebwa later got saved and thinking that his rascal had learnt a lesson, he called her back. She returned and even promised to get saved, but fiend Loyce never kept her promise.
To fulfill her malevolence, Loyce made it impossible for her husband to work with his brothers in business, yet Tukamuhebwa was known to have brought his brothers to Kampala and trained them to succeed. She is also said to have made it impossible for them to get access to their matrimonial home after she labeled them thieves. The Police have started serious investigations coordinated by Kampala Extra Region CID Chief Kato. The Police also apprehended Loyce on Friday to assist in the investigations. She is being kept at Kampala Metropolitan station. Police said they have received information that a frustrated Tukamuhebwa was seen in Kyagwe heading to Bukunja road on Wednesday night where he is believed to have killed himself. “Whatever it takes we shall recover the body of Johnson and accord him a decent burial,” his brother James stated.Here below we reproduce the suicide note as written by the deceased, John Tukamuhebwa

The Suicide note (translated)
I am Johnson Tukamuhebwa, the son of the late F. Rahure. I’m bidding farewell to all of you who know me and those who do not know me. With much emphasis I’m saying good bye to my wife, all my children (boys and girls), brothers and sisters. Lastly I’m saying goodbye to my old mother who brought me into this world and raised me up without any damage on my body, may God bless her in every way and if God wishes we shall meet in heaven. What has driven me to part with my life is because of my wife Loyce who again ate all the Indians’ money.
I contemplated how I would go back to face the Indians and tell them again that my wife had eaten their money and it became impossible. Therefore, in order to keep away from such evil, I have nothing to say.
All I have to say is that my wife has again eaten the Indians’ money and this is what has pushed me to commit suicide and leave this life without any problem. Let me go and interface with Jesus on the Day of Judgment. Actually, the source of my death is Loyce Tukamuhebwa. Whoever lands on this letter should read it to everyone so that they know the reason I left this world.
I have gone to my father in heaven and may God who has given me time to leave this world without any one’s debt bless you. I send my regards to all the brethren in the entire world plus those I have been going with for salvation. All the debts are in the book of debts. I have left seven children; five boys and only two girls. My body should be laid to rest at Nshinje village. I wish my father and siblings a good burial ceremony and let nobody cry during the burial because I will be already with my father in heaven.
The author of this letter is myself; Johnson Tukamuhebwa.”

The Shoking Confession
Loyce Tukamuhebwa, the wife of the missing Kikuubo tycoon has exclusively spoken to Red Pepper and revealed what could have forced her husband to commit suicide.In a conversation with Red Pepper at Central Police Station, in Kampala soon after she was released from the cells yesterday, Loyce said her husband Johnson Tukamuhebwa who left a suicide note and has been missing for over a week now, had accumulated huge debts which he could not pay even if he sold his family.
Loyce, who looked distraught after spending four days in the coolers said her husband was living a resigned life after getting soaked in debts. Tukamuhebwa, a popular businessman in Kikubo went missing on Wednesday and family members later recovered a suicide note on Saturday stating: “I have decided to commit suicide because my wife Loyce Tukamuhebwa swindled all the money I had invested in business. As a saved person I could not stand the shame”.Relatives said Loyce endlessly emptied the safe of their hard-earned shop and invested the money in a multi-million housing project so far valued at Shs300m.
However, in a new twist of events, Loyce revealed last night that she did not steal any money saying a combination of high interest loans and failure to stock take for a period of more than two years contributed to the couple’s fall from the skies to a hovel. She said the family had accumulated debts of Shs1.2bn and that they had mortgaged everything including the incomplete Kajjansi house to which they retreated after selling off their palatial homes in Mengo and Kisenyi.“We had three debts; Shs30m loan owned to Centenary Bank, Shs40m and Shs50m from Britannia and Kakira sugar respectively but we also had other debts totalling to a billion shillings from friends” she said. She added “Now that he has been missing for a week, it’s gut-wrenching, thinking that either he has got a rich-ass girlfriend somewhere and he’s happy, or he’s dead.”
“But he is a firefighter, he’s a retired soldier, he’s a warrior. He may have gone somewhere to look for money.”
Loyce said she was still in love with Johnson and that their romance was blossoming. She said they had reconciled their differences and they were living as a happy born again couple.“After we reconciled, I have never annoyed my husband, even one bit. Not at all,” she said. Loyce described the day her husband went missing, saying he came at the shop, did stock taking and left the shop looking extremely angry. “At 11pm, I telephoned but he could not pick his calls. I sent him about 30 messages but he could not reply; I called my neighbors and told them. “Let’s continue to talk about this case. Let’s continue our search for Johnson, I still love him,” she said.
Meanwhile police last night held a meeting with Loyce and relatives of Johnson and agreed to re-open the shop. The meeting which took place in Room 74 at CPS was chaired by Kampala Extra CID Chief P.T Kato and was attended by Tumusiime Rahure (brother of the missing tycoon), plus sons and daughters.They agreed to release the woman since she was not directly responsible for the disappearance of the tycoon.Police also released the keys of the shop and instructed family members to choose a few people who should run the shop and pay some debts.
However, the children of the missing tycoon especially Lovance Nshemereirwe were said to be distraught.
Sources say she broke down after police discovered herbs and funny pots in her father’s house in Kajjansi. “I can’t imagine my dad is the one who has been using these herbs,” Lovance sobbed. A source close to the family said: “She was stunned to see the herbs in her father’s house yet he was born again.“She’s been really worried about him, especially as he’s lost for more than a week. She wanted him to see her graduate,” a friend said. It was in Lovance that Johnson confided before his mysterious disappearance. He gave him an ATM card with its pin number after crediting that account with Shs4m.He then told the sexy girl: “Goodbye honey, I have gone somewhere too far but you can use that money for fees or anything good just in case I take long to return.”
FINANCIAL BOOM
It was out of his hard work that Tukamuhebwa managed to construct two plush bungalows in Mengo-Kisenyi with a queue of over 30 tenants and a farm in Ntungamo which he was later forced to sell to offset debts.
That farm was worth Shs300m, but due to pressure he sold it off at a give-away price of Shs100m. The two houses in Mengo were sold at a mere Shs200m and Shs120m despite their strategic location. He used the money to clear off some debts, bought a Rav4 and built a smaller house in Kajjansi.Tukamuhebwa had established a huge empire of business connections in world trade centers like India, Dubai and Mombasa from where he would get goods on credit and was worth Shs 3bn at the height of his fame. But the money kept on dwindling.After financial woos continued to escalate, relatives of the deceased say he decided to join a money lending SACCO that they had formed with a group of businessmen at the Kitara C/U church.
WHO IS LOYCE
She was born in Kyamuntu, Bwongyera in Kajara. Her home is adjacent that of her husband. Being close neighbors, the two developed a cozy relationship in their childhood and usually romped from forests or on goat rearing sprees. This romance later grew into marriage. But shortly after, Loyce started to siphon her hubby’s dime, a situation that forced Tukamuhebwa to chase her and get saved. On learning of this, Loyce came up saying she had gotten saved as well. Unsuspecting, Tukamuhebwa accepted her back and the two revived their love until last week’s events.

CONFERENCE VOLUNTEER DEFENDS BENNY HINN’S SALE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT ANOINTING FOR 50$ PER PERSON
MY REACTION
Dear Mr. Brian Mukisa , I have read you defence of the Benny Hinn’s June 2009 conference at Rubaga Miracle Centre Cathedral with amazement . I guess you are a born again person. You argue that paying registration fee for any conference is normal. You argue that it was okay to pay because this conference was for ministers and not lay persons.
Registration fee is normal for any conference
http://www.monitor.co.ug/artman/publish/opinions/Registration_fee_is_normal_for_any_conference_86552.shtml
This is an error in reasoning. Remember that what ever Christians do must be guided by the word of God. The word of God says freely you have received freely give. Do you expect the poor pastors from Masaka , Gulu, Luwero to afford 50$ . Let us be honest.
By the way how much research have you carried out on Benny hinn . Do you know that he once visited graves to get the anointing.

I was privileged to volunteer on the organising committee for the just concluded East and Central Fire Conference hosted by a reknown evangelist, teacher and author- Pastor Benny Hinn. I write in response to some media reports directed towards the conference pre- registration fee. I notice the confusion arises from failure to understand the aim and purpose of the event. I need to state that a fire conference is organised for gospel ministers (pastors) and is different from a gospel crusade as many people have mistaken it. Pastor Benny Hinn last held a miracle crusade in Uganda in 2007 where he reached out to everyone. This did not require pre-registration or fees.
So, these events are not the same and should be looked at differently.
While it is true that attending the fire conference at the Miracle Centre Cathedral on June 5-6 required pre- registration of $ 50, the fees came with a prior delegate package, made up of conference materials.
Delegates also received special Benny Hinn Ministry unique offers and conference facilities. The conference brought together delegates from neighbouring countries of Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania, Burundi, Sudan, Malawi, India and so many more. Logistics were required in advertising, hotel bookings, air and land transport, meals, sound and lighting enhancements for both local and foreign delegates. This is characteristic of any international meeting and the situation was not different for the fire conference.
While the debate rages, there is a puzzle about what the real motives of the commentators are, dominated by imaginations and fabrication about the attendance numbers and figures. Sweeping statements like “there are thousands of people who attended and this implies lots of money” are very misleading and vindictive, yet far from the reality.
What is fascinating is the hypocrisy and double standards by the comments. For instance, when a religious or spiritual group from Uganda arranges a ‘religious trip’ or a pilgrimage to whichever destination, it is never free. Isn’t this for spiritual empowerment and for advancement of a particular faith? How is this different from a group of Christians from Malawi or Burundi travelling for a fire conference in Kampala? Come on people!
The conference was a major step for Uganda not only spiritually but also uplifting the profile of the country globally. International media giants, Trinity Broadcasting Network and GOD TV, were present and will run special programming of the event to a global audience. The benefits will later accrue to Uganda. The presence of foreign delegates definitely had a positive effect on the overall economy.
The recent attacks on the host, Pastor Robet Kayanja, are rather harsh, misguided and unfortunate, resulting from misinformation on the purpose and target people for the conference. Pastor Hinn will host a similar event in Ukraine in July and the delegates will have to pay. So Uganda is no exception. For the delegates who attended the fire conference, the conference was priceless, life-changing and in-depth teaching from the Word of God.
We should thank Pastor Kayanja, an internationally respected ambassador of the gospel and other stakeholders for organising a successful event and uplifting Uganda’s profile than pulling him down. For the Bible says in Philippians 1:6, “He that begun a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”

Bishop Senyonjo holds secret gay meeting
Senyonjo holds secret gay meeting

Kampala
A former Anglican Church cleric and human rights advocate, Bishop Christopher Senyonjo, yesterday convened a secret gay meeting to discuss the rights and ways of dealing with the ever increasing public resentment.
In a secret meeting dubbed ‘Horn of Africa Human Rights Defenders’ at Imperial Resort Beach Hotel in Entebbe, participants were mainly young men with braided hair while female participants were clad in male suits.
Bishop Senyonjo was excommunicated from the Anglican Church a few years ago over his sympathy with gay practices.
The sources at the hotel who preferred anonymity said the meeting was organised by Akina Mama wa Afrika to address gay problems.
They said it is a an annual international event organised since 2006.
The participants of the meeting were afraid of the media and they kept on dodging journalists.
“It is not a gay conference. I am just helping to counsel these young men of a sexual minority group,” Bishop Senyonjo stammered after being besieged by journalists during a conference break.
He said he is a trained counselor in sexuality who wants to aid the isolated groups.
“You can’t judge these people by merely looking at them. You need to talk to them to know their problems to help them,” he said, adding that associating with the gays made his church to misunderstand him leading to his dismissal.
Bishop Senyonjo, formerly bishop of west Buganda Diocese, was ordered to stop wearing deaconry robes and formed a new denomination called the Charismatic Church of Uganda where he was consecrated bishop.

Capitalism has invaded the Church of Christ

It is amazing how capitalism has made a grand entry into the Ministry of Christ. The announcement by Pastor Robert Kayanja of the Miracle Center that those interested in attending Evangelist Benny Hinn’s ‘Fire Conference’ must first of all part with 50$ (Ush 120,000) left many of us opened mouthed.
Many thought it was a joke of some kind, but the good pastor went a head to implement the announcement.
Word making the round indicates that over 20,000 people attended the conference. That means the “Men of God’ smiled their way to the bank with a cool US $1,000,000 (Shs 2.4 billion) un taxed. Hmn!, that is not your usual sum of money, considering the current global economic hardship.
The question is, what percentage did God, the benevolent giver of miracles and free talent get? This is total deviation from the biblical teaching that warns Christians against love for money.
Now, Pastor Kayanja has made it official that there is no free thing, including listening to the word of God. Where then does this leave the poor for whom, Jesus came to save since the message of hope is now for sale.
The Bible talks of Jesus attending a church service and watched with interest as the rich Pharisees walked with a swagger to deliver their offerings.
It was only when an old haggard woman made her way to the alter and offered a coin, indeed her life savings that Jesus made his remarks. Her offertory came from the heart and pleased God. It was not a show off of wealth as Pastor Kayanja is trying to introduce.
The Bible again tells us a story in the Acts of Apostles of some unscrupulous man who came to Peter with an offer to pay money in order to receive some of the miracle working powers that Peter had.
Pastor Kayanja knows very well what happened to that man. The fact that receiving tips on how to enjoy a perfect union between mankind and God from men of God is now not free of charge, shows a clear difference between the present day men of God and Jesus, the author of miracles who freely taught multitudes and sometimes fed them without taking a cent from them.
Pastor Kayanja said at the Press Conference to announce the arrival of Benny Hinn that Ugandans should understand that there are no free things in the world today.
He said preparations for the conference cost them a lot of money and therefore the registration fee will go towards offsetting the costs.
Well, do you see any difference between a music promoter who brings in Shaggy with the aim of making a profit in gate collection and Pastor Kayanja?
Kayanja is a Pastor to one of the several Pentecostal churches with a membership of close to 30,000 people. Like any organised church, I suppose the Miracle Center has Evangelism committee responsible for the preparation and mobilisation of funds for conferences such as Hinn’s Fire Conference. Charging a fee to listen to the word of God is unforgivable.
Mr Kayanja and Hinn should realise that they shot their way to prominence, fame and wealth because of God who did not charge them a single coin for the power, God’s presence and indeed the miracles that happen in their ministries. It is therefore an insult to the Lord and a mockery of God’s word to ask people to pay to listen to the word of God.
At this rate, don’t be surprised when you hear Pastor Kayanja asking non-members of his church to first pay before setting foot in his church. It wouldn’t surprise me if he asked his fellow pastors to first make deposits before he accepts invitation to appear as guest preacher in their churches.
God, where is the world heading?

It is therefore an insult to the Lord and a mockery of God’s word to ask people to pay to listen to the word of God.
At this rate, don’t be surprised when you hear Pastor Kayanja asking non-members of his church to first pay before setting foot in his church. It wouldn’t surprise me if he asked his fellow pastors to first make deposits before he accepts invitation to appear as guest preacher in their churches.
God, where is the world heading?

What About John Chapter 6?
http://www.jesus-is-lord.com/john6.htm
As you may know, the Catholic religion claims to eat Jesus. They call this blasphemy the eucharist. In the past, the popes made it illegal for Catholics to read the Bible so they wouldn't know you can't eat Jesus. For those true Christians that denied that Catholic priests had the power to make Jesus come down from heaven so you could eat Him, they were killed, period. Millions of Christians were killed by popish Romanists--including greedy priests who loved torture and the wages of unrighteousness--this is DOCUMENTED...
BUT NOW that God's people have flooded the world with scriptures and because Rome cannot control every country, it has changed its Satanic strategy. In the last decade or so, Catholic apologists have been teaching the people selected verses of scripture in an attempt to Christianize their pagan beliefs. John chapter 6 is one of the most common passages I hear from idolatrus Catholics. Of course the writer below didn't use the King James Bible in quoting so if you want to read what the real Bible says you can go here. Nevertheless, he stopped short even in his corrupted version.
An E-mail From an Idolatrous Catholic
JOHN CHAPTER 6
I am the living bread that came down from heaven; whoever eats this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world. Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life within you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him on the last day. For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me and I in him. Just as the living Father sent me and I have life because of the Father, so also the one who feeds on me will have life because of me. This is the bread that came down from heaven. Unlike your ancestors who ate and still died, whoever eats this bread will live forever.
My Response
Aren't you forgetting to read the last verse of this passage (John 6:63) which shows [Jesus] didn't mean this literally?
It is the SPIRIT that quickeneth; THE FLESH PROFITETH NOTHING: THE WORDS I SPEAK ARE SPIRIT, and they are life.
In His knowledge that the Catholic religion would twist this, He made it clear that He was not speaking literally. (Click here to see what Jesus really meant in John chapter 6.)

There are many other points that could made about this such as the Catholic religion contradicting its own evil tenets. For example, in the passage the writer quoted, he said "Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life" -- YET the Catholic religion says you can't be sure that you have eternal life--they call it the sin of presumption. So even their eucharist doesn't do what they say it does. As I think about it, this is the only thing I've seen about the Catholic religion that I agree with--THEY cannot say for sure they are going to heaven because they are hellbound if they believe this dung!
Get saved and you can know for sure that heaven will be your home! Knowing Jesus is not religion, it is relationship. Jesus told the hellbound in Matthew chapter 7, "I never KNEW you." You got to KNOW the Lord, not just have a few facts in your head and some idolatry--ain't going to cut it.
Everytime you put that cracker in your mouth and call it Jesus, God hates it. It is an abomination to Him. Everytime a nun tells a child, "Go visit Jesus in that little box, He's lonely in there," God hates it. It is a stink in His holy nostrils. Jesus is High and Lifted up and is positioned at the right hand of the throne of God. If you stay in this abomination the Catholic religion, always remember, God hates it. The Bible makes it abundantly clear.
Then what did Jesus mean in John Chapter 6?
http://www.jesus-is-lord.com/john6pt2.htm
A Catholic gentleman recently asked this question after reading this and his inquiry REALLY touched me. Catholic friend, it is not my intention to do you any evil or to cause you suffering when I explain the Catholic religion on this site. It is my intention to show you that what you've been told is not true. It is my intention to let you know that Jesus died and rose so that you could KNOW FOR SURE YOU ARE GOING TO HEAVEN. Listen to what the apostle John said in 1 John 5:13,
These things have I WRITTEN unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; THAT YE MAY KNOW THAT YE HAVE ETERNAL LIFE, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.
This said, I will answer what Jesus meant when He said we must eat His flesh and drink His blood. Let's turn to John chapter 6 in our Bibles and go through it. The eternal word will leave no doubt as to its meaning.
JOHN 6 VERSES 1 THROUGH 21
In this first part of the chapter Jesus feeds 5,000 people with just five barley loaves and two little fish.
JOHN 6 VERSES 22 THROUGH 25
The following day, the people went looking for Jesus.
JOHN 6 VERSES 26 THROUGH 27
When the people found Jesus, He told them that they didn't look for Him because of the miracle they had just experienced. They came looking for Him because they wanted some more food (v. 26). Then He told them not to labour for the meat that perishes but for the meat which would give them everlasting life. Jesus said He would give to them.
JOHN 6 VERSES 28 THROUGH 29
Then the people said, "What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?"
Jesus' response in v. 29 is very important to understand...
"This is the work of God, that ye
BELIEVE on him whom he hath sent."
JOHN 6 VERSES 30 THROUGH 31
Look at the hardness of the peoples' hearts in v. 30. They said, "What SIGN shewest thou then, that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work?" Did you see it? Only the day before He performed that huge miracle before them and they totally ignored it saying, "Show us something so we'll believe you". They did not believe in Jesus.
Then in v. 31 the people mention how their fathers, the Israelites, ate manna in the desert. Remember God fed them out there for 40 years. The people now wanted Jesus to feed them all the food they wanted.
JOHN 6 VERSES 32 THROUGH 33
Jesus then told them that God is giving them the TRUE bread from heaven. Jesus told them "The bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven and GIVETH LIFE unto the world." In other words, Jesus is the bread that gives nourishment to the world. But what kind of nourishment? We shall soon see.
JOHN 6 VERSES 34 THROUGH 35
Then the people said, "Lord, evermore give us this bread." Jesus responded by telling them, "I AM THE BREAD OF LIFE: he that COMETH TO ME shall never hunger; and he that BELIEVETH ON ME shall never thirst."
We all know that no physical bread can make us full for the rest of our lives and no physical drink can quench our thirst for the rest of our lives. Then what did He mean? We shall soon see.
JOHN 6 VERSES 36 THROUGH 40
Jesus then plainly tells the people that even though they had SEEN Him they did not believe in Him. In verse 40 He told them once again, "And this is the will of him that sent me, that everyone which seeth the Son, and BELIEVETH on him, may have everlasting life."
Jesus said if we come to Him and BELIEVE in Him we will get everlasting life just like eating physical bread gives us physical life. The people were talking about physical life, Jesus was talking about the spiritual--where we will spend eternal life.
JOHN 6 VERSES 41 THROUGH 42
The people didn't want to hear this believing business because they didn't believe in Him. They murmured at him because he said that he was the bread that came down from heaven. They started thinking back about His supposed family (Joseph was not His father). They basically said in verse 42, "We know his mother and father. How can he say he came down from heaven?"
JOHN 6 VERSES 43 THROUGH 47
Jesus then told the people that anyone who hears and learns from God the Father will come to Him, others won't. He told them what they needed to do and they ignored it and even got indignant about it. Once again Jesus tells them what to do, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that BELIEVETH on me hath everlasting life."
JOHN 6 VERSES 48 THROUGH 51 -- THE BREAKDOWN
Now Jesus breaks it all the way down in these verses. These greedy ol' people were just concerned with having their stomach's full so He spoke to them on that level which seemed to be the only they could understand. He basically told them, "Your fathers ate manna and they are DEAD. I am the living bread, eat me and YOU WILL LIVE FOREVER. My body is the bread I will give for the life of the world."
What did He mean by eat me?
Remember He told them that the work of God was to BELIEVE on Jesus.
To believe is to accept, internalize, and absorb which is what eating is--allowing an outside substance to come inside of you. But unlike physical bread which is eaten and cast out through the digestive system, the spiritual bread, the word of God, is eaten/internalized through belief and never cast out. It remains inside of us. In verse 58, Jesus explains that when we eat Him it is "NOT as your fathers did eat manna and are dead". It is not the same kind of eating. It is INTERNALIZING, ACCEPTING, BELIEVING HIM.
Jesus' flesh is food because His flesh was crucified on the cross to pay for our death penalty of hell and the lake of fire--this is eternal death. If we believe that this happened and confess Him we will not experience spiritual death. We will go to heaven--this is eternal life. Believing/internalizing/eating this fact gives us eternal life. We need physical bread to stay alive, we need belief in His sacrifice (spiritual bread) so we can live forever.
What about the blood? Jesus blood is drink because the shedding of blood is required to forgive our sins. The blood forgives our sins and washes them away forever so we can live with a Holy and Just God who NEVER sins and can't live with sin. Hebrews 9:22 says blood is required in order to get forgiveness of sins/remission,
And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.
Once again, if we accept Jesus, internalize Him, yea eat Him, we have ETERNAL LIFE. The people were talking about physical life, Jesus was talking about SPIRITUAL life. Remember, when asked what we have to do to do the works of God, Jesus said,
"He that BELIEVETH on me hath everlasting LIFE."
When we believe on Jesus Christ, He actually lives inside of us, never to be purged like physical bread like the eucharist which goes out in the dung! A Catholic who holds to the eucharist as being Jesus says that my God is in their feces! Ridiculous.
Because I believe, Jesus lives in me.
JOHN 6 VERSES 52 THROUGH 69
This caused the unbelieving Jews to say, "How can this man give us his flesh to eat?" They are still thinking about physical life and physical bread. Jesus is talking about spiritual life and spiritual bread. He has told them over and over that the work of God is to believe on Him and they repeatedly refuse to believe on Him and persist in seeking physical bread.
In v. 55, Jesus said, "My flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed." Many people were offended at the thought of what they perceived as cannibalism. Because of their unbelief, they were still thinking in the physical realm.
What about the disciples that left him? Was it because they had to literally eat His flesh and drink His blood? No! They left because they did not believe the claims that Jesus made just like the greedy people who didn't believe either. Because they did not believe, they could not understand what Jesus was saying (see I Cor 2:14).
In verse 63, Jesus asked the disciples that murmured, "Doth this offend you? It is the SPIRIT that quickeneth (gives life); THE FLESH PROFITETH NOTHING: the words that I speak unto you, THEY ARE SPIRIT, and they are life." He told them plainly that He was not talking literally. He said, "...the words that I speak unto you, THEY ARE SPIRIT." He also told them here that the physical flesh profits NOTHING, ZERO, ZILCH, NIL, NADA--NOTHING!
The Catholic religion purposely leaves out verses 63-64 when claiming that John 6 is about the eucharist. The word, "eucharist" is not even in the Bible. There is no concept of the eucharist in Bible--but there is in pagan religion...
What we've done here is straight exposition from the Bible. You don't have to take my word for it, you can get your Bible and do the exact same thing--compare this to your Bible. We are talking about the difference between life and death here. It would behoove any Catholic to check this out and decide if they want to continue trusting the eucharist for their eternal life instead of trusting the real Jesus who loves them and died for them.

EXPOSING THE GOSPEL OF SIN : ETERNAL SECURITY, THE HUGE GAMBLE
We truly live in the last days and there is great deception in almost all corners on the face of this earth. To state it candidly, we live in days of deception and lies. Our society and generation seems to move and dwell in lies and deception. Lies and deception is what our adulterous society uses to make things going.
From Pastor to Politician to Prophet to President, all tell lies and run organizations by lies and deception. Organized and Institutionalized lies and deception is the order of the day and way of controlling the masses. The Church has not been immune to deception. As a matter of fact Jesus Christ strongly warned us that there would be deception so great in the Last days just before He returned that if possible, the elect would be deceived.
To the saints, read the Bible on your own and test whatever that preacher and PhD Pastor teach on the pulpit… You will be amazed and flabbergasted at how deception is being sold and lies are being preached on the pulpit instead of truth. Truth has been cast aside in this adulterous generation. Truth has been cast aside from the pulpit by the celebrated preachers of today…
One of the greatest lie and deception out there in the Church today is that once you are saved you are always saved and regardless of what you do or how you walk, you have your salvation secured and nothing will take that away from you.
This deception is so bad that many Christians have embraced the world while sitting on their pews on Sunday services. All sins spoken about in Romans chapter one are currently in the Church and practiced by those who call themselves Christians. Their preachers tell them that their Salvation is secured regardless. Kato Mivule (Watch Out! You Could Lose Your Salvation)(http://www.yesumulungi.com/index.php/discernment/230-watch-out-you-could-lose-your-salvation.html)
Harsh? What's worse, to standby while the likes of Charles Stanley, Chuck Swindoll, & John Macarthur tell people they can live in open sin, deny God and even commit suicide and still be assured of heaven because they had a past moment of faith? You tell me. The hearts of people have become rock hard sitting under this type preaching mainly because it has gone unopposed for so long that 'millions' believe it to be the truth! Like any form of well conceived propaganda, after long exposure to the outright lies and half truths, the human mind becomes numb to fact. Do you really think Satan and his minions are playing games here? The battle for human souls is intense, brutal with no holds bared! Why do you suppose Paul warned us so many times to be prepared? (Eph6:12-18, 2Cor10:1-6) He recognized the profoundness of this warfare and NEVER ceased to WARN the Righteous & the Wicked that sin would led them into spiritual ruin, (Acts20:26-33, Gal6:7-10, Rom8:13, Eph5:5, 1Thess4:7-8) and send their souls into hell fire.
Why then do the vast majority of preachers, pastors & church leaders condone sin as human 'weakness' and allow these common misconceptions about the Grace of God to prevail in their congregations? They have bought into the lies of Satan's minions and are convinced that a 'Past' Moment of Faith is all it takes to inherit eternal life and nothing anyone can do afterwards will effect the outcome of their salvation. Although many variations of this prevailing view exist within the church, the end result is always the same: A spiritually dead, totally ineffective, lukewarm mass of professing Christians who excuse their sin and have absolutely NO FEAR of God whatsoever. The concept that someone could actually live without sinning everyday in thought, word & deed is as foreign to them as the Warnings contained in Scripture. They are told by innuendo (continually) that God is Love, NOTHING can snatch them out of His Hand, and NO ONE can separate them from His Love! (John10:27, Rom8:38-39)
Thus the obvious conclusion impressed upon the human mind is: "Grace is God's accommodation for my natural weakness." And all manner of sin, wickedness and immorality is permitted because 'no one' is perfect! YET Scripture declares exactly the opposite view: Titus2:11-14, 1Pet1:13-23, 2:13-17, 4:1-2, 5:8-9, 2Pet1:4

ETERNAL SECURITY, THE HUGE GAMBLE
http://www.lorendavis.com/news_articles_eternal.html
WHAT IS THE DOCTRINE OF ETERNAL SECURITY?
This is also known as the doctrine of ONCE SAVED, ALWAYS SAVED. Eternal Security is the most preached about topic in church, on Christian radio and television. It is the most dominant theme in Christian bookstores. Is this a true or false doctrine? Does it matter? Why is Eternal Security such a HUGE GAMBLE?
This doctrine is probably the most widespread message preached in Christianity.
PROFILING THE DOCTRINE OF ETERNAL SECURITY:
1. Relating to being born again, they teach that if one is born, ONE CAN’T BE UNBORN. There is NO SUCH THING AS BACKSLIDING. IF ONE GOES BACK IT PROVES HE NEVER REALLY WAS SAVED.
2. IF ONE HAS EVER BEEN BORN INTO THE FAMILY OF GOD, HE WILL ALWAYS BE A CHILD OF GOD. (Like his earthly family, he will always be the son of his parents whether he is good or bad).
3. We are SAVED BY GRACE, so God knows WE ARE JUST SINNERS SAVED BY GRACE and that we are still going to sin.
4. We have THE “UNCONDITIONAL” LOVE OF GOD. A GOD OF LOVE WOULD NOT SEND ANY OF HIS CHILDREN TO HELL (just like a parent would not punish their children that severely for any mistakes they made).
5. A JUST GOD WOULD NOT SEND PEOPLE TO HELL FOR SIN OR BEING BAD.
6. If WE HAVE ACCEPTED CHRIST, AND STILL LIVE IN SIN, WE WILL STILL GO TO HEAVEN.
7. AFTER ACCEPTING CHRIST, NOTHING YOU DO OR DON’T DO FROM THAT POINT MAKES ANY DIFFERENCE.
They use Ephesians 2:8, 9 to substantiate this “For BY GRACE are YE SAVED through faith, NOT OF YOURSELVES: It is the GIFT OF GOD; NOT OF WORKS, lest any man boast.”
8. CHRISTIANS ARE GOING TO SIN, WE HAVE JUST BEEN FORGIVEN.
9. *2 Corinthians 5:21, “He was made sin that knew no sin that we might be made the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus.”
This is a major scripture that those who advocate Eternal Security pervert to say “Jesus alone without works”, makes us righteous and acceptable before God. In other words, whether you sin or not, if you believe in Jesus you are righteous and will go to heaven.
THE ETERNAL SECURITY OR THE “PERSEVERANCE OF THE SAINTS” DOCTRINE HAS BEEN PROFILED BY A FAMOUS AUTHOR, TELEVISION AND RADIO PREACHER.
These are some quotes from his book regarding ‘THE CASE THAT SALVATION CANNOT BE LOST’.
He says and I quote, “Once and for all He gives us an IRREVOCABLE RELATIONSHIP
with a Savior who promises to protect us by his own power, all the way home.” “Although DISOBEDIENT CHRISTIANS CANNOT LOSE THEIR SALVATION, there still is much
to lose. The conscious fellowship with God. The approval of God. Influence for God. Love, joy, peace, patience, self-control. Reward. Everything that makes life meaningful.”
“…the Bible makes it clear,” he continues, “that God will, by His own power, preserve their faith and security.” “They may not be acting on that faith the way they should, but it is still there. When that person repeatedly renounces Christ and appeals to some other basis for salvation—we must assume that such an individual was never saved in the first place.” “As long as I believe and trust in Christ, God sees me as being “in Him”, and as long as I am hiding “IN CHRIST”, I have His protection.” “Could my faith or lack of faith determine whether I am presently “in” or “out” of Christ?” “According to Galatians 2:20, I have been: co-crucified with Christ; co-buried in Christ; co-resurrected in Christ; FREED FROM SIN IN CHRIST. This is the Christian’s basis for security. In Christ, I have already paid for my crimes against God. That’s history. It’s past. It’s done. Paul said it so clearly. In Christ, I died to sin. In Christ I am alive forever more.”
He goes on, “This wouldn’t make sense if Paul hadn’t been teaching something that some would interpret as A LICENSE TO SIN” “It is only when we realize that OUR SALVATION DEPENDS ON OUR CONFIDENCE IN WHAT CHRIST HAS DONE RATHER ON WHAT WE WILL DO”. “…NO MATTER HOW MUCH WE DESPISE THE IDEA OF LOOKING AT SECURITY AS A LICENSE TO SIN, we don’t live up to our new potential and privilege in Christ”.
Still quoting,
“I John. 2:1, 2 Jesus gave Himself for a propitiation for our sins,” “This deals with Christ’s protection of our sa280lvation in the present.” “BEING IN CHRIST WE HAVE THE ULTIMATE DEFENSE.” “HE’S NEVER LOST A CASE—and never will. Some have speculated that this Public Defender has never actually had to argue a case. They believe he merely holds up His hands.” “THERE IS SOMETHING ABOUT THOSE HANDS THAT ALWAYS WINS.”
Finally, “HOW COULD YOU POSSIBLY LOSE YOUR SALVATION WHEN YOU ARE IN
JESUS CHRIST. He Himself is your advocate; intercessor; payment for sin; righteousness before God and man.” When one accepts Christ not only does it take care of the SINS OF THE
PAST, BUT ALSO SINS THAT WILL BE COMMITTED IN THE FUTURE.
Think about this statement. If this were true, then God would be an unjust biased judge who shows favoritism and perverts judgment. That is totally opposite of what the Bible teaches about a JUST GOD.
One preacher said, “Christian security is not something that depends on human performance.”
“Even though He could see all of our sin and rebellion, He still chose us in Christ. His sovereign decision was completely apart from human merit.” “He pre-decided the outcome, while working with our will in a way that is beyond our ability to understand.” “He predetermined the outcome in eternity past.”
He continues,
*Romans 8:28-32 (This scripture is foundational to those who teach eternal security).
This description of God’s plan doesn’t mention the human side. It doesn’t say anything about His waiting to see whether we would receive Christ and then hang on by faith until the end.” “God justifies those He calls to Christ. In legal terms, that means He declares righteous those who believe in His Son.” “God says that we are not to be charged with eternal punishment for our sin.” “Who can find us guilty after God had declared us innocent.” “Because of our spiritual immaturity, we often sin.” “… but God responds in our defense”. “Who do you think you are to accuse someone whom I have declared righteous.”
“The one you accuse of sin is one that I have pre-chosen and justified Myself.” “We are given a new status that covers our future as well as our past.” “Not under law but under grace. This is the ultimate kind of immunity and PERPETUAL PARDON.” “The issue of sin has been settled by the death of Christ once and for all.” “IN CHRIST, THERE IS LEGAL PROTECTION FOR THE FUTURE AS WELL AS THE PAST.” “He has unilaterally resolved the sin question once and for all, there is nothing in the future that can keep the foreknown, predestined, called, justified, and glorified child of God from getting to the place God has prepared for him.” “The apostle Paul seemed at a loss to explain what it meant when someone strayed from the faith.” “The apostle had to admit that there are many things about being saved and who is not saved that only God knows.” “This reminds us that we cannot always tell who is and who is not a child of God.” “It is easier if we assume that Christians are those who live like Christians, and non-Christians are those who don’t. But appearances can be deceiving.”
“Without losing their security and their IMMUNITY FROM PROSECUTION, Christians can easily lose their battle over sin.” “Such failures can sometimes cause a child of God, for a while at least, to be indistinguishable from a child of Satan.” “Paul was at the same time admitting that someone who was in Christ could still fall into all of the sins,” “He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ.” Philippians 1:6 “Didn’t the apostle Paul himself show signs of uncertainty in 1 Corinthians 9:27 No. In the first passage, Paul was not concerned about losing his salvation but about losing his usefulness as a servant of Christ.” End quote
This is a classic example of using some scriptures and ignoring others. Choosing which scriptures one will believe, and those you won’t believe. This doctrine is a product of theological SPIN MASTERS. It is saying the same thing the devil is saying, “It doesn’t matter how you live, you are still alright.”
Some use Romans 4:4-6 to teach Eternal Security
“Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt. But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works, Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered. Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin. Cometh this blessedness then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? For we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness. How was it reckoned? When he was in circumcision? Not to circumcision, but uncircumcision?”1
The Bible is saying here is that unless one has believed on Christ it doesn’t matter whether He is circumcised or uncircumcised, he still is not saved. Christ doesn’t impute sin to those who have accepted Him and repented of their sins. This is only referring to past sins not ones that are committed in the future. THIS DOES NOT GIVE ONE AN EXEMPTION SO HE CAN CONTINUE SINNING IN THE FUTURE WITHOUT REPENTING AND STILL BE ASSURED OF HEAVEN.
ANOTHER FAMOUS BIBLE TEACHER IN THE “SPIRIT FILLED” RANKS teaches a DISGUISED Eternal Security
He quotes, “I John 1:7 “But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ, his Son CLEANSETH us from all sin.”He says, “You see, as long as you walk in the light—EVEN THOUGH YOU MISS IT—THERE IS A CONTINUAL CLEANSING OF SIN.” “Because I was walking in the light I had at the time, the Lord cleansed me from my mistakes, faults, failures, and shortcomings.”
He is saying God cleanses us WITHOUT OUR EVER REPENTING OR ASKING. That is nothing but a thin veil of the Eternal Security doctrine. That preacher in the Spirit filled ranks came out of a traditional denomination that believes in Eternal Security.
SCRIPTURES PROVE THE ETERNAL SECURITY DOCTRINE IS A MAJOR ERROR
“Once Saved Always Saved” proponents use the argument that GOD SAID HE WOULD NEVER LEAVE US NOR FORSAKE US and they quote, John 10:28 “No man can take you from my hand.”
There is no dispute that NO ONE CAN TAKE US OUT OF GOD’S HAND. BUT THE BIBLE SHOWS THAT WE CAN TAKE OURSELVES OUT OF GOD’S HAND.
*Revelation 3:11 “Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that NO MAN TAKE THY CROWN.” (Even yourself)
*Isaiah 65:11 “But ye are THEY THAT FORSAKE THE LORD.” It is impossible to forsake someone that you were never with.
*2 Timothy 2:12 referring to Christ says, “…IF WE DENY HIM, HE ALSO WILL DENY US.”
*Judges 6:13 “now THE LORD HATH FORSAKEN US.”
*Hosea 4:6 “Because thou hast REJECTED KNOWLEDGE, I WILL REJECT THEE.”
SCRIPTURES PROVING THAT ONE CAN LOSE HIS SALVATION AFTER BEING SAVED
*I Timothy 4:1 “SOME SHALL DEPART FROM THE FAITH.”
*Hebrews 3:12 “take heed, lest there be any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in DEPARTING (once saved) FROM THE LIVING GOD.”
*Proverbs 26:11 “As it happened unto them according to the true proverb, THE DOG IS TURNED AGAIN TO HIS VOMIT.”
BACKSLIDING
*Hebrews 4:11 “Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, LEST ANY MAN FALL after the same example of unbelief.”
*Jude 24 “Unto Him that is able to KEEP YOU FROM FALLING.” (He is able, but you must cooperate with Him).
*Proverbs 14:14 “The BACKSLIDER in heart shall be filled with his own ways.” (Not the ways of the Lord).
*Psalms 44:18 “Our heart is NOT TURNED BACK.” (Showing it is possible).
*Jeremiah 7:24 “But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear, but walked in the counsels and the imagination of their evil heart, and WENT BACKWARD and not forward.”
*Jeremiah 8:5 “Why then is this people of Jerusalem slidden back by a PERPETUAL BACKSLIDING? They hold fast deceit, THEY REFUSE TO RETURN.”
*Jeremiah 15:6 God says, “THOU HAST FORSAKEN ME, saith the Lord, thou art GONE BACKWARD: therefore will I stretch out my hand against thee, and destroy thee; I AM WEARY OF REPENTING.” (like confession once a week to a priest; or going to the altar every week to repent and get saved again, with the full intent of continuing the same sinful lifestyle).
*John 6:66-67 “Many of His disciples(it says HIS disciples) went BACK, and WALKED NO MORE WITH HIM. Then said Jesus“.... unto THE TWELVE, WILL YE ALSO GO AWAY?”
*1 Corinthians 15:2 “…by which also ye are saved, IF YE KEEP IN MEMORY what I preached unto you, UNLESS YE HAVE BELIEVED IN VAIN.”
*Hebrews 4:14 “...let us HOLD FAST OUR PROFESSION.”
*2 Thessalonians 2:3 “LET NO MAN (nor denomination) DECEIVE YOU... that day shall not come except THERE COME A GREAT FALLING AWAY FIRST.” (You cannot fall from a cliff if you haven’t been on top of it first. You cannot fall away from God unless you have known him first).
*John 8:31 Jesus said, “If ye CONTINUE in my Word, then are YE MY DISCIPLES INDEED.”
*Acts 14:22 says, “CONFIRMING THE SOULS of the disciples”. (this is not a confirmation ritual of a church to confirm the soul of some child). This is EXHORTING THEM TO CONTINUE IN THE FAITH.
*Psalm 119:109 “MY SOUL IS CONTINUALLY IN MY HAND.”
*Colossians 1:23 “if YE CONTINUE IN THE FAITH, grounded and settled, and be NOT MOVED AWAY FROM THE HOPE OF THE GOSPEL.”
*Galatians 5:7 “YE DID RUN WELL; WHO DID HINDER YOU THAT YE SHOULD NOT OBEY THE TRUTH.”
*Philippians 2:12 “WORK OUT YOUR OWN SALVATION WITH FEAR
AND TREMBLING.”
According to the scriptures, once a person is saved he must guard his life carefully or he can lose his salvation. Otherwise, the above scriptures mean nothing.
*Matthew 24:13, Jesus said, “But he that shall ENDURE UNTO THE END, the same SHALL BE SAVED.” Also (Matthew 10:22).
*Luke 17:32 "Remember Lot's wife." After coming out of Sodom she looked back.
WHAT ABOUT JUDAS ISCARIOT
*John 17:12 “While I was in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and NONE OF THEM IS LOST, BUT THE SON OF PERDITION.” (He had to have been one of them before he could be lost).
*Acts 1:16-17 speaking about Judas says, “For HE WAS NUMBERED WITH US, AND HAD OBTAINED PART OF THIS MINISTRY.”
*v. 20, “...and HIS BISHOPRIC LET ANOTHER TAKE.”
*v. 25 “That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which BY TRANSGRESSION JUDAS FELL.” According to the Bible, Judas was an Apostle (which was impossible to be if he was not a child of God), but LOST EVERYTHING BECAUSE OF TRANSGRESSION, SIN.
As I mentioned in the chapter on “Salvation”, the Grace of God is very important related to salvation. But the wonderful grace of God has been spun and perverted into a literal license to sin.
PERVERSIONS OF THE GRACE MESSAGE
“I am just a sinner saved by Grace. God knows the way I am and accepts me anyway.” “I believe in Jesus as my Savior, so I am saved no matter what I do.” “Christ died for sinners; I am a sinner; therefore I am saved by His Grace and cannot backslide or lose my soul. I am eternally secure.”
REFUTING THE PERVERSION OF THE GRACE MESSAGE
*Jude 4 says “For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, UNGODLY MEN, TURNING THE GRACE OF GOD INTO LASCIVIOUSNESS.” (This is making one believe he can sin without feeling guilty about it; believing that the Grace of God covers whatever sins we are committing. This teaching deadens the conscience. The Word of God deals with how one is living NOW not just in the past.
*Romans 6:14, “For SIN” . (It is the Grace of God in Christ Jesus that gives you the power not to sin, not to free you to sin).
*Romans 6:1 “What shall we say then? SHALL WE CONTINUE TO SIN, THAT GRACE MAY ABOUND?”
*v. 15, “What then? SHALL WE SIN, because we are not underthe law, BUT UNDER GRACE? GOD FORBID.”
*Galatians 2:21, “DO NOT FRUSTRATE THE GRACE OF GOD.”
*Romans 8:13 “For IF YE LIVE AFTER THE FLESH, YE SHALL DIE: but IF ye through the spirit do MORTIFY THE DEEDS OF THE BODY, YE SHALL LIVE.”
*Hebrews 12:14-17 “Follow peace with all men and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord: LOOKING DILIGENTLY LEST ANY MAN FAIL OF THE GRACE OF GOD; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled: lestthere be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat SOLD HIS BIRTHRIGHT. For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected; for HE FOUND NO PLACE OF REPENTANCE, THOUGH HE SOUGHT IT CAREFULLY WITH TEARS.”
*Hebrew 10:29-31 “...and hath DONE DESPITE THE SPIRIT OF GRACE.”
In other words, have intentionally PRESUMED UPON AND TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF GOD’S GRACE. God’s Grace and mercy is incredible, but God will not be taken as a fool.
*Galatians 6:7 “Be not deceived, God is not mocked. Whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap.”
*Galatians 1:6 “I marvel that ye are so soon REMOVED FROM HIM that called you into
THE GRACE OF CHRIST UNTO ANOTHER GOSPEL.”
To teach and believe such a thing is to deny the Gospel and Jesus Christ Himself! The Grace message has been spun by professional theological spin masters to teach people that THE BOTTOM LINE IS, THAT THEY CAN STILL LIVE IN SIN AND EXPECT TO GO TO HEAVEN, because of the Grace of God. This is a gross perversion of the Gospel. God is not behind this message. This teaching comes straight from the doctrines of Baal, Satan himself. God would never contradict His Word like this.
CAN ONE SIN AND STAY SAVED?
*1 Corinthians 9:27"But I KEEP MY BODY, AND BRING IT INTO SUBJECTION: (some believe as long as one says they believe on Jesus it doesn’t matter what they do in the body), LEST THAT BY ANY MEANS, WHEN I HAVE PREACHED TO OTHERS, I MYSELF SHOULD BE A CASTAWAY..”
*Jeremiah 14:7"O Lord, though OUR INIQUITIES TESTIFY AGAINST US, ...for our BACKSLIDINGS ARE MANY; WE HAVE SINNED AGAINST THEE.”
*Galatians 5:1 “Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and BE NOT ENTANGLED AGAIN WITH THE YOKE OF BONDAGE.”
*Galatians 2:7 “Is Christ the MINISTER OF SIN? God forbid!”
*Isaiah 29:13 says, “Wherefore the Lord said, for as much as this people draw near me with their mouth (they are religious), and with their lips do honour me, but HAVE REMOVED THEIR HEART FAR FROM ME.”
*Matthew 9:17 Jesus said that we can’t “PUT NEW WINE IN OLD BOTTLES.”
*John 5:14, Jesus said, “SIN NO MORE lest a worse thing come upon you.”
*Proverbs 14:16 “A wise man feareth and departeth from evil: but the FOOL RAGETH AND IS CONFIDENT..”
*Psalm 119:11 “Thy Word hath I hid in my heart that I might not sin against thee.”
*Ezekiel 3:20 says, “Again, WHEN A RIGHTEOUS MAN DOTH TURN FROM RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND COMMIT INIQUITY, and I lay a stumbling block before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, HE SHALL DIE IN HIS SIN, AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS SHALL NOT BE REMEMBERED.”
*v. 21, “Nevertheless, if thou warn the righteous man, that therighteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned; also thou hast delivered thy soul.”
*Hebrew 10:26-32 “IF WE SIN WILFULLY AFTER THAT YE HAVE RECEIVED THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH...THERE REMAINETH...A CERTAIN FEARFUL LOOKING OF JUDGMENT.”
*1 John 3:7-8 “Little children, LET NO MAN DECEIVE YOU. He that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. HE THAT COMMITTETH SIN IS OF THE DEVIL; for the devil sinneth from the beginning.”
*II Thessalonians 2:3 “Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except THERE COME A FALLING AWAY FIRST, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;”
SIN WILL CAUSE ONE TO LOSE HIS SOUL
*1 Corinthians 9:27, Paul said, “But I KEEP MY BODY, and BRING IT INTO SUBJECTION lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I MYSELF SHOULD BE A CASTAWAY.” (This should show in no uncertain terms that sins of the flesh can cause one to BE A CASTAWAY FROM CHRIST).
*2 Peter 2:4 “For IF GOD SPARED NOT THE ANGELS THAT SINNED, but CAST THEM DOWN TO HELL...” (Verse 5) “... And SPARED NOT THE OLD WORLD, but saved
Noah a preacher of righteousness” (but destroyed the ungodly in the flood).
*v. 6 “And turning the cities of SODOM AND GOMORRA into ashes CONDEMNED THEM with an overthrow, MAKING THEM AN ENSAMPLE unto THOSE THAT AFTER SHOULD LIVE UNGODLY.”
*v. 10 “...presumptuous are they (presumptuous thinking they can live a life of sin and still be right with God), SELF-WILLED…”
*Isaiah 1:21 “How is THE FAITHFUL CITY BECOME A HARLOT! It was full of judgment; righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers.”
*Isaiah 1:4 “Ah SINFUL NATION, A PEOPLE LADEN WITH INIQUITY, a seed of
evil- doers: they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward.” One cannot go away from a place he has never been.
*2 Peter 2:14-22 “Having eyes full of adultery, and that CANNOT CEASE FROM SIN; BEGUILING (corrupting) UNSTABLE SOULS (the Once Saved Always Saved Doctrine BEGUILES unstable souls, making them believe if they sin they will still go to heaven) ...cursed children: which have FORSAKEN THE RIGHT WAY, and are GONE ASTRAY.”
*v. 20 “For if AFTER THEY HAVE ESCAPED the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ,THEY ARE ENTANGLED THEREIN, and OVERCOME, THE LATTER END IS WORSE THAN THE FIRST.”
*Romans 11:20-21 “…because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear: For if GOD SPARED NOT THE NATURAL BRANCHES, TAKE HEED LEST HE ALSO SPARE NOT THEE.”
WHAT DOES BORN AGAIN REALLY MEAN?
*2 Corinthians 5:17 “If any man be in Christ he is A NEW CREATURE. OLD THINGS, (the life of sin) ARE PAST AWAY; and behold, ALL THINGS ARE BECOME NEW.” If one is not changed, he is not in Christ nor does he have Christ’s righteousness.
*1 John 5:18 “WE KNOW that WHOSOEVER IS BORN OF GOD SINNETH NOT; but HE THAT IS BEGOTTEN OF GOD KEEPETH HIMSELF.”
*I John 3:9 “Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.”
JESUS’ WARNING
*Matthew 15:3, Jesus said, “YOU HOLD THE TRADITIONS OF MEN ABOVE THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD.”
*Matthew 15:7-8, “He answered and said unto them; well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, THIS PEOPLE HONORETH ME WITH THEIR LIPS BUT THEIR HEART IS FAR FROM ME.”
*verse 9, “Howbeit in vain do they worship me, TEACHING FOR DOCTRINES THE COMMANDMENTS OF MEN.”
IT DOES NOT MATTER IF ONE HAS MADE A PUBLIC PROFESSION OF FAITH IN CHRIST; ONE CANNOT LIVE IN SIN AND BE ETERNALLY SECURE, ACCORDING TO VOLUMES OF SCRIPTURES.
*Isaiah 48:1, describes those who preach this doctrine. “They MAKE MENTION THE GOD OF ISRAEL, but NOT IN TRUTH, NOR IN RIGHTEOUSNESS.”
*2 Timothy 2:19 “The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, LET EVERY ONE THAT NAMETH THE NAME OF CHRIST DEPART FROM INIQUITY.”
Millions of professing Christians live in adultery, lying, stealing, cheating, and idolatry...exactly like the worshippers of Baal.
*2 Peter 2:18 “For when THEY SPEAK GREAT SWELLING WORDS OF VANITY, THEY ALLURE THROUGH THE LUST OF THE FLESH, ...those that were clean escaped from them who LIVE IN ERROR.”
Most of the biggest “seeker sensitive” churches teach the doctrine of Eternal Security. This is an inoffensive, feel good Gospel that says what people want to hear. They can have Christ and their life of sins, and go to heaven, too. This type of teaching is done solely for soothing the consciences of people and for the purposes of gaining bigger memberships and more money. Those preaching this do not really believe the Bible nor do they care whether or not their members go to heaven or hell. They constantly assure their people that everything is okay when in reality it is not.
*Revelation 2:14 “I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the Doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balak to cast a STUMBLING BLOCK BEFORE THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL, to eat things sacrificed to idols, and TO COMMIT FORNICATION.”
ETERNAL SECURITY IS A DOCTRINE OF BAAL. It produces a lifestyle which is no different than what the pagan Baal worshippers of old lived.
ONE’S NAME CAN BE BLOTTED OUT OF THE BOOK OF LIFE
*Exodus 32:32 “Yet now, if thou wilt forgive their sin; and if not, BLOT ME, I pray thee, OUT OF THY BOOK which thou hast written.”
*Exodus 32:33 “And the LORD said unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I BLOT OUT OF MY BOOK.
*Deuteronomy 9:14 “Let me alone, that I may destroy them, and BLOT OUT THEIR NAME FROM UNDER HEAVEN:”
*Revelation 22:19 “And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, GOD SHALL TAKE AWAY HIS PART OUT OF THE BOOK OF LIFE.”
*Revelation 3:5, “He THAT OVERCOMETH...I WILL NOT BLOT OUT HIS NAME OUT OF THE BOOK OF LIFE.”
It is impossible to blot out a name that is not there in the first place! .
IT IS A DANGEROUS THING TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE GRACE OF GOD.
*Hebrews 12:17 “For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears.”
*Psalm 106:35 “They MINGLED WITH THE HEATHEN, AND LEARNED THEIR WORKS.”
We know the grace of God is a marvelous thing, that God would send Jesus to die for our sins and forgive us when we confess our sins and call on Him, but TO BELIEVE AND PRACTICE THE ETERNAL SECURITY DOCTRINE where one believes he can break the Ten Commandments and live a sinful life and still think he is going to go to heaven, IS A HUGE GAMBLE WITH YOUR ETERNAL SOUL. This doctrine contradicts a massive amount of scriptures that teach the opposite, that commands us to live a godly life. Because of the Eternal Security Doctrine many professing Christians live hypocritical lives. Their lifestyle is very little different than the ‘non-Christian’, pagan.
Another method of teaching Eternal Security is done by disguising and perverting the Bible’s teaching on righteousness. See the article ‘THE PERVERSION OF RIGHTEOUSNESS’ on www.lorendavis.com
From Pastor to Politician to Prophet to President, all tell lies and run organizations by lies and deception. Organized and Institutionalized lies and deception is the order of the day and way of controlling the masses. The Church has not been immune to deception. As a matter of fact Jesus Christ strongly warned us that there would be deception so great in the Last days just before He returned that if possible, the elect would be deceived.
To the saints, read the Bible on your own and test whatever that preacher and PhD Pastor teach on the pulpit… You will be amazed and flabbergasted at how deception is being sold and lies are being preached on the pulpit instead of truth. Truth has been cast aside in this adulterous generation. Truth has been cast aside from the pulpit by the celebrated preachers of today…
One of the greatest lie and deception out there in the Church today is that once you are saved you are always saved and regardless of what you do or how you walk, you have your salvation secured and nothing will take that away from you.
This deception is so bad that many Christians have embraced the world while sitting on their pews on Sunday services. All sins spoken about in Romans chapter one are currently in the Church and practiced by those who call themselves Christians. Their preachers tell them that their Salvation is secured regardless. Kato Mivule (Watch Out! You Could Lose Your Salvation)(http://www.yesumulungi.com/index.php/discernment/230-watch-out-you-could-lose-your-salvation.html)
Harsh? What's worse, to standby while the likes of Charles Stanley, Chuck Swindoll, & John Macarthur tell people they can live in open sin, deny God and even commit suicide and still be assured of heaven because they had a past moment of faith? You tell me. The hearts of people have become rock hard sitting under this type preaching mainly because it has gone unopposed for so long that 'millions' believe it to be the truth! Like any form of well conceived propaganda, after long exposure to the outright lies and half truths, the human mind becomes numb to fact. Do you really think Satan and his minions are playing games here? The battle for human souls is intense, brutal with no holds bared! Why do you suppose Paul warned us so many times to be prepared? (Eph6:12-18, 2Cor10:1-6) He recognized the profoundness of this warfare and NEVER ceased to WARN the Righteous & the Wicked that sin would led them into spiritual ruin, (Acts20:26-33, Gal6:7-10, Rom8:13, Eph5:5, 1Thess4:7-8) and send their souls into hell fire.
Why then do the vast majority of preachers, pastors & church leaders condone sin as human 'weakness' and allow these common misconceptions about the Grace of God to prevail in their congregations? They have bought into the lies of Satan's minions and are convinced that a 'Past' Moment of Faith is all it takes to inherit eternal life and nothing anyone can do afterwards will effect the outcome of their salvation. Although many variations of this prevailing view exist within the church, the end result is always the same: A spiritually dead, totally ineffective, lukewarm mass of professing Christians who excuse their sin and have absolutely NO FEAR of God whatsoever. The concept that someone could actually live without sinning everyday in thought, word & deed is as foreign to them as the Warnings contained in Scripture. They are told by innuendo (continually) that God is Love, NOTHING can snatch them out of His Hand, and NO ONE can separate them from His Love! (John10:27, Rom8:38-39)
Thus the obvious conclusion impressed upon the human mind is: "Grace is God's accommodation for my natural weakness." And all manner of sin, wickedness and immorality is permitted because 'no one' is perfect! YET Scripture declares exactly the opposite view: Titus2:11-14, 1Pet1:13-23, 2:13-17, 4:1-2, 5:8-9, 2Pet1:4

ETERNAL SECURITY, THE HUGE GAMBLE

WHAT IS THE DOCTRINE OF ETERNAL SECURITY?
This is also known as the doctrine of ONCE SAVED, ALWAYS SAVED. Eternal Security is the most preached about topic in church, on Christian radio and television. It is the most dominant theme in Christian bookstores. Is this a true or false doctrine? Does it matter? Why is Eternal Security such a HUGE GAMBLE?
This doctrine is probably the most widespread message preached in Christianity.
PROFILING THE DOCTRINE OF ETERNAL SECURITY:
1. Relating to being born again, they teach that if one is born, ONE CAN’T BE UNBORN. There is NO SUCH THING AS BACKSLIDING. IF ONE GOES BACK IT PROVES HE NEVER REALLY WAS SAVED.
2. IF ONE HAS EVER BEEN BORN INTO THE FAMILY OF GOD, HE WILL ALWAYS BE A CHILD OF GOD. (Like his earthly family, he will always be the son of his parents whether he is good or bad).
3. We are SAVED BY GRACE, so God knows WE ARE JUST SINNERS SAVED BY GRACE and that we are still going to sin.
4. We have THE “UNCONDITIONAL” LOVE OF GOD. A GOD OF LOVE WOULD NOT SEND ANY OF HIS CHILDREN TO HELL (just like a parent would not punish their children that severely for any mistakes they made).
5. A JUST GOD WOULD NOT SEND PEOPLE TO HELL FOR SIN OR BEING BAD.
6. If WE HAVE ACCEPTED CHRIST, AND STILL LIVE IN SIN, WE WILL STILL GO TO HEAVEN.
7. AFTER ACCEPTING CHRIST, NOTHING YOU DO OR DON’T DO FROM THAT POINT MAKES ANY DIFFERENCE.
They use Ephesians 2:8, 9 to substantiate this “For BY GRACE are YE SAVED through faith, NOT OF YOURSELVES: It is the GIFT OF GOD; NOT OF WORKS, lest any man boast.”
8. CHRISTIANS ARE GOING TO SIN, WE HAVE JUST BEEN FORGIVEN.
9. *2 Corinthians 5:21, “He was made sin that knew no sin that we might be made the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus.”
This is a major scripture that those who advocate Eternal Security pervert to say “Jesus alone without works”, makes us righteous and acceptable before God. In other words, whether you sin or not, if you believe in Jesus you are righteous and will go to heaven.
THE ETERNAL SECURITY OR THE “PERSEVERANCE OF THE SAINTS” DOCTRINE HAS BEEN PROFILED BY A FAMOUS AUTHOR, TELEVISION AND RADIO PREACHER.
These are some quotes from his book regarding ‘THE CASE THAT SALVATION CANNOT BE LOST’.
He says and I quote, “Once and for all He gives us an IRREVOCABLE RELATIONSHIP
with a Savior who promises to protect us by his own power, all the way home.” “Although DISOBEDIENT CHRISTIANS CANNOT LOSE THEIR SALVATION, there still is much
to lose. The conscious fellowship with God. The approval of God. Influence for God. Love, joy, peace, patience, self-control. Reward. Everything that makes life meaningful.”
“…the Bible makes it clear,” he continues, “that God will, by His own power, preserve their faith and security.” “They may not be acting on that faith the way they should, but it is still there. When that person repeatedly renounces Christ and appeals to some other basis for salvation—we must assume that such an individual was never saved in the first place.” “As long as I believe and trust in Christ, God sees me as being “in Him”, and as long as I am hiding “IN CHRIST”, I have His protection.” “Could my faith or lack of faith determine whether I am presently “in” or “out” of Christ?” “According to Galatians 2:20, I have been: co-crucified with Christ; co-buried in Christ; co-resurrected in Christ; FREED FROM SIN IN CHRIST. This is the Christian’s basis for security. In Christ, I have already paid for my crimes against God. That’s history. It’s past. It’s done. Paul said it so clearly. In Christ, I died to sin. In Christ I am alive forever more.”
He goes on, “This wouldn’t make sense if Paul hadn’t been teaching something that some would interpret as A LICENSE TO SIN” “It is only when we realize that OUR SALVATION DEPENDS ON OUR CONFIDENCE IN WHAT CHRIST HAS DONE RATHER ON WHAT WE WILL DO”. “…NO MATTER HOW MUCH WE DESPISE THE IDEA OF LOOKING AT SECURITY AS A LICENSE TO SIN, we don’t live up to our new potential and privilege in Christ”.
Still quoting,
“I John. 2:1, 2 Jesus gave Himself for a propitiation for our sins,” “This deals with Christ’s protection of our sa280lvation in the present.” “BEING IN CHRIST WE HAVE THE ULTIMATE DEFENSE.” “HE’S NEVER LOST A CASE—and never will. Some have speculated that this Public Defender has never actually had to argue a case. They believe he merely holds up His hands.” “THERE IS SOMETHING ABOUT THOSE HANDS THAT ALWAYS WINS.”
Finally, “HOW COULD YOU POSSIBLY LOSE YOUR SALVATION WHEN YOU ARE IN
JESUS CHRIST. He Himself is your advocate; intercessor; payment for sin; righteousness before God and man.” When one accepts Christ not only does it take care of the SINS OF THE
PAST, BUT ALSO SINS THAT WILL BE COMMITTED IN THE FUTURE.
Think about this statement. If this were true, then God would be an unjust biased judge who shows favoritism and perverts judgment. That is totally opposite of what the Bible teaches about a JUST GOD.
One preacher said, “Christian security is not something that depends on human performance.”
“Even though He could see all of our sin and rebellion, He still chose us in Christ. His sovereign decision was completely apart from human merit.” “He pre-decided the outcome, while working with our will in a way that is beyond our ability to understand.” “He predetermined the outcome in eternity past.”
He continues,
*Romans 8:28-32 (This scripture is foundational to those who teach eternal security).
This description of God’s plan doesn’t mention the human side. It doesn’t say anything about His waiting to see whether we would receive Christ and then hang on by faith until the end.” “God justifies those He calls to Christ. In legal terms, that means He declares righteous those who believe in His Son.” “God says that we are not to be charged with eternal punishment for our sin.” “Who can find us guilty after God had declared us innocent.” “Because of our spiritual immaturity, we often sin.” “… but God responds in our defense”. “Who do you think you are to accuse someone whom I have declared righteous.”
“The one you accuse of sin is one that I have pre-chosen and justified Myself.” “We are given a new status that covers our future as well as our past.” “Not under law but under grace. This is the ultimate kind of immunity and PERPETUAL PARDON.” “The issue of sin has been settled by the death of Christ once and for all.” “IN CHRIST, THERE IS LEGAL PROTECTION FOR THE FUTURE AS WELL AS THE PAST.” “He has unilaterally resolved the sin question once and for all, there is nothing in the future that can keep the foreknown, predestined, called, justified, and glorified child of God from getting to the place God has prepared for him.” “The apostle Paul seemed at a loss to explain what it meant when someone strayed from the faith.” “The apostle had to admit that there are many things about being saved and who is not saved that only God knows.” “This reminds us that we cannot always tell who is and who is not a child of God.” “It is easier if we assume that Christians are those who live like Christians, and non-Christians are those who don’t. But appearances can be deceiving.”
“Without losing their security and their IMMUNITY FROM PROSECUTION, Christians can easily lose their battle over sin.” “Such failures can sometimes cause a child of God, for a while at least, to be indistinguishable from a child of Satan.” “Paul was at the same time admitting that someone who was in Christ could still fall into all of the sins,” “He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ.” Philippians 1:6 “Didn’t the apostle Paul himself show signs of uncertainty in 1 Corinthians 9:27 No. In the first passage, Paul was not concerned about losing his salvation but about losing his usefulness as a servant of Christ.” End quote
This is a classic example of using some scriptures and ignoring others. Choosing which scriptures one will believe, and those you won’t believe. This doctrine is a product of theological SPIN MASTERS. It is saying the same thing the devil is saying, “It doesn’t matter how you live, you are still alright.”
Some use Romans 4:4-6 to teach Eternal Security
“Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt. But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works, Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered. Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin. Cometh this blessedness then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? For we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness. How was it reckoned? When he was in circumcision? Not to circumcision, but uncircumcision?”1
The Bible is saying here is that unless one has believed on Christ it doesn’t matter whether He is circumcised or uncircumcised, he still is not saved. Christ doesn’t impute sin to those who have accepted Him and repented of their sins. This is only referring to past sins not ones that are committed in the future. THIS DOES NOT GIVE ONE AN EXEMPTION SO HE CAN CONTINUE SINNING IN THE FUTURE WITHOUT REPENTING AND STILL BE ASSURED OF HEAVEN.
ANOTHER FAMOUS BIBLE TEACHER IN THE “SPIRIT FILLED” RANKS teaches a DISGUISED Eternal Security
He quotes, “I John 1:7 “But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ, his Son CLEANSETH us from all sin.”He says, “You see, as long as you walk in the light—EVEN THOUGH YOU MISS IT—THERE IS A CONTINUAL CLEANSING OF SIN.” “Because I was walking in the light I had at the time, the Lord cleansed me from my mistakes, faults, failures, and shortcomings.”
He is saying God cleanses us WITHOUT OUR EVER REPENTING OR ASKING. That is nothing but a thin veil of the Eternal Security doctrine. That preacher in the Spirit filled ranks came out of a traditional denomination that believes in Eternal Security.
SCRIPTURES PROVE THE ETERNAL SECURITY DOCTRINE IS A MAJOR ERROR
“Once Saved Always Saved” proponents use the argument that GOD SAID HE WOULD NEVER LEAVE US NOR FORSAKE US and they quote, John 10:28 “No man can take you from my hand.”
There is no dispute that NO ONE CAN TAKE US OUT OF GOD’S HAND. BUT THE BIBLE SHOWS THAT WE CAN TAKE OURSELVES OUT OF GOD’S HAND.
*Revelation 3:11 “Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that NO MAN TAKE THY CROWN.” (Even yourself)
*Isaiah 65:11 “But ye are THEY THAT FORSAKE THE LORD.” It is impossible to forsake someone that you were never with.
*2 Timothy 2:12 referring to Christ says, “…IF WE DENY HIM, HE ALSO WILL DENY US.”
*Judges 6:13 “now THE LORD HATH FORSAKEN US.”
*Hosea 4:6 “Because thou hast REJECTED KNOWLEDGE, I WILL REJECT THEE.”
SCRIPTURES PROVING THAT ONE CAN LOSE HIS SALVATION AFTER BEING SAVED
*I Timothy 4:1 “SOME SHALL DEPART FROM THE FAITH.”
*Hebrews 3:12 “take heed, lest there be any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in DEPARTING (once saved) FROM THE LIVING GOD.”
*Proverbs 26:11 “As it happened unto them according to the true proverb, THE DOG IS TURNED AGAIN TO HIS VOMIT.”
BACKSLIDING
*Hebrews 4:11 “Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, LEST ANY MAN FALL after the same example of unbelief.”
*Jude 24 “Unto Him that is able to KEEP YOU FROM FALLING.” (He is able, but you must cooperate with Him).
*Proverbs 14:14 “The BACKSLIDER in heart shall be filled with his own ways.” (Not the ways of the Lord).
*Psalms 44:18 “Our heart is NOT TURNED BACK.” (Showing it is possible).
*Jeremiah 7:24 “But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear, but walked in the counsels and the imagination of their evil heart, and WENT BACKWARD and not forward.”
*Jeremiah 8:5 “Why then is this people of Jerusalem slidden back by a PERPETUAL BACKSLIDING? They hold fast deceit, THEY REFUSE TO RETURN.”
*Jeremiah 15:6 God says, “THOU HAST FORSAKEN ME, saith the Lord, thou art GONE BACKWARD: therefore will I stretch out my hand against thee, and destroy thee; I AM WEARY OF REPENTING.” (like confession once a week to a priest; or going to the altar every week to repent and get saved again, with the full intent of continuing the same sinful lifestyle).
*John 6:66-67 “Many of His disciples(it says HIS disciples) went BACK, and WALKED NO MORE WITH HIM. Then said Jesus“.... unto THE TWELVE, WILL YE ALSO GO AWAY?”
*1 Corinthians 15:2 “…by which also ye are saved, IF YE KEEP IN MEMORY what I preached unto you, UNLESS YE HAVE BELIEVED IN VAIN.”
*Hebrews 4:14 “...let us HOLD FAST OUR PROFESSION.”
*2 Thessalonians 2:3 “LET NO MAN (nor denomination) DECEIVE YOU... that day shall not come except THERE COME A GREAT FALLING AWAY FIRST.” (You cannot fall from a cliff if you haven’t been on top of it first. You cannot fall away from God unless you have known him first).
*John 8:31 Jesus said, “If ye CONTINUE in my Word, then are YE MY DISCIPLES INDEED.”
*Acts 14:22 says, “CONFIRMING THE SOULS of the disciples”. (this is not a confirmation ritual of a church to confirm the soul of some child). This is EXHORTING THEM TO CONTINUE IN THE FAITH.
*Psalm 119:109 “MY SOUL IS CONTINUALLY IN MY HAND.”
*Colossians 1:23 “if YE CONTINUE IN THE FAITH, grounded and settled, and be NOT MOVED AWAY FROM THE HOPE OF THE GOSPEL.”
*Galatians 5:7 “YE DID RUN WELL; WHO DID HINDER YOU THAT YE SHOULD NOT OBEY THE TRUTH.”
*Philippians 2:12 “WORK OUT YOUR OWN SALVATION WITH FEAR
AND TREMBLING.”
According to the scriptures, once a person is saved he must guard his life carefully or he can lose his salvation. Otherwise, the above scriptures mean nothing.
*Matthew 24:13, Jesus said, “But he that shall ENDURE UNTO THE END, the same SHALL BE SAVED.” Also (Matthew 10:22).
*Luke 17:32 "Remember Lot's wife." After coming out of Sodom she looked back.
WHAT ABOUT JUDAS ISCARIOT
*John 17:12 “While I was in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and NONE OF THEM IS LOST, BUT THE SON OF PERDITION.” (He had to have been one of them before he could be lost).
*Acts 1:16-17 speaking about Judas says, “For HE WAS NUMBERED WITH US, AND HAD OBTAINED PART OF THIS MINISTRY.”
*v. 20, “...and HIS BISHOPRIC LET ANOTHER TAKE.”
*v. 25 “That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which BY TRANSGRESSION JUDAS FELL.” According to the Bible, Judas was an Apostle (which was impossible to be if he was not a child of God), but LOST EVERYTHING BECAUSE OF TRANSGRESSION, SIN.
As I mentioned in the chapter on “Salvation”, the Grace of God is very important related to salvation. But the wonderful grace of God has been spun and perverted into a literal license to sin.
PERVERSIONS OF THE GRACE MESSAGE
“I am just a sinner saved by Grace. God knows the way I am and accepts me anyway.” “I believe in Jesus as my Savior, so I am saved no matter what I do.” “Christ died for sinners; I am a sinner; therefore I am saved by His Grace and cannot backslide or lose my soul. I am eternally secure.”
REFUTING THE PERVERSION OF THE GRACE MESSAGE
*Jude 4 says “For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, UNGODLY MEN, TURNING THE GRACE OF GOD INTO LASCIVIOUSNESS.” (This is making one believe he can sin without feeling guilty about it; believing that the Grace of God covers whatever sins we are committing. This teaching deadens the conscience. The Word of God deals with how one is living NOW not just in the past.
*Romans 6:14, “For SIN” . (It is the Grace of God in Christ Jesus that gives you the power not to sin, not to free you to sin).
*Romans 6:1 “What shall we say then? SHALL WE CONTINUE TO SIN, THAT GRACE MAY ABOUND?”
*v. 15, “What then? SHALL WE SIN, because we are not underthe law, BUT UNDER GRACE? GOD FORBID.”
*Galatians 2:21, “DO NOT FRUSTRATE THE GRACE OF GOD.”
*Romans 8:13 “For IF YE LIVE AFTER THE FLESH, YE SHALL DIE: but IF ye through the spirit do MORTIFY THE DEEDS OF THE BODY, YE SHALL LIVE.”
*Hebrews 12:14-17 “Follow peace with all men and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord: LOOKING DILIGENTLY LEST ANY MAN FAIL OF THE GRACE OF GOD; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled: lestthere be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat SOLD HIS BIRTHRIGHT. For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected; for HE FOUND NO PLACE OF REPENTANCE, THOUGH HE SOUGHT IT CAREFULLY WITH TEARS.”
*Hebrew 10:29-31 “...and hath DONE DESPITE THE SPIRIT OF GRACE.”
In other words, have intentionally PRESUMED UPON AND TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF GOD’S GRACE. God’s Grace and mercy is incredible, but God will not be taken as a fool.
*Galatians 6:7 “Be not deceived, God is not mocked. Whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap.”
*Galatians 1:6 “I marvel that ye are so soon REMOVED FROM HIM that called you into
THE GRACE OF CHRIST UNTO ANOTHER GOSPEL.”
To teach and believe such a thing is to deny the Gospel and Jesus Christ Himself! The Grace message has been spun by professional theological spin masters to teach people that THE BOTTOM LINE IS, THAT THEY CAN STILL LIVE IN SIN AND EXPECT TO GO TO HEAVEN, because of the Grace of God. This is a gross perversion of the Gospel. God is not behind this message. This teaching comes straight from the doctrines of Baal, Satan himself. God would never contradict His Word like this.
CAN ONE SIN AND STAY SAVED?
*1 Corinthians 9:27"But I KEEP MY BODY, AND BRING IT INTO SUBJECTION: (some believe as long as one says they believe on Jesus it doesn’t matter what they do in the body), LEST THAT BY ANY MEANS, WHEN I HAVE PREACHED TO OTHERS, I MYSELF SHOULD BE A CASTAWAY..”
*Jeremiah 14:7"O Lord, though OUR INIQUITIES TESTIFY AGAINST US, ...for our BACKSLIDINGS ARE MANY; WE HAVE SINNED AGAINST THEE.”
*Galatians 5:1 “Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and BE NOT ENTANGLED AGAIN WITH THE YOKE OF BONDAGE.”
*Galatians 2:7 “Is Christ the MINISTER OF SIN? God forbid!”
*Isaiah 29:13 says, “Wherefore the Lord said, for as much as this people draw near me with their mouth (they are religious), and with their lips do honour me, but HAVE REMOVED THEIR HEART FAR FROM ME.”
*Matthew 9:17 Jesus said that we can’t “PUT NEW WINE IN OLD BOTTLES.”
*John 5:14, Jesus said, “SIN NO MORE lest a worse thing come upon you.”
*Proverbs 14:16 “A wise man feareth and departeth from evil: but the FOOL RAGETH AND IS CONFIDENT..”
*Psalm 119:11 “Thy Word hath I hid in my heart that I might not sin against thee.”
*Ezekiel 3:20 says, “Again, WHEN A RIGHTEOUS MAN DOTH TURN FROM RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND COMMIT INIQUITY, and I lay a stumbling block before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, HE SHALL DIE IN HIS SIN, AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS SHALL NOT BE REMEMBERED.”
*v. 21, “Nevertheless, if thou warn the righteous man, that therighteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned; also thou hast delivered thy soul.”
*Hebrew 10:26-32 “IF WE SIN WILFULLY AFTER THAT YE HAVE RECEIVED THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH...THERE REMAINETH...A CERTAIN FEARFUL LOOKING OF JUDGMENT.”
*1 John 3:7-8 “Little children, LET NO MAN DECEIVE YOU. He that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. HE THAT COMMITTETH SIN IS OF THE DEVIL; for the devil sinneth from the beginning.”
*II Thessalonians 2:3 “Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except THERE COME A FALLING AWAY FIRST, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;”
SIN WILL CAUSE ONE TO LOSE HIS SOUL
*1 Corinthians 9:27, Paul said, “But I KEEP MY BODY, and BRING IT INTO SUBJECTION lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I MYSELF SHOULD BE A CASTAWAY.” (This should show in no uncertain terms that sins of the flesh can cause one to BE A CASTAWAY FROM CHRIST).
*2 Peter 2:4 “For IF GOD SPARED NOT THE ANGELS THAT SINNED, but CAST THEM DOWN TO HELL...” (Verse 5) “... And SPARED NOT THE OLD WORLD, but saved
Noah a preacher of righteousness” (but destroyed the ungodly in the flood).
*v. 6 “And turning the cities of SODOM AND GOMORRA into ashes CONDEMNED THEM with an overthrow, MAKING THEM AN ENSAMPLE unto THOSE THAT AFTER SHOULD LIVE UNGODLY.”
*v. 10 “...presumptuous are they (presumptuous thinking they can live a life of sin and still be right with God), SELF-WILLED…”
*Isaiah 1:21 “How is THE FAITHFUL CITY BECOME A HARLOT! It was full of judgment; righteousness lodged in it; but now murderers.”
*Isaiah 1:4 “Ah SINFUL NATION, A PEOPLE LADEN WITH INIQUITY, a seed of
evil- doers: they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward.” One cannot go away from a place he has never been.
*2 Peter 2:14-22 “Having eyes full of adultery, and that CANNOT CEASE FROM SIN; BEGUILING (corrupting) UNSTABLE SOULS (the Once Saved Always Saved Doctrine BEGUILES unstable souls, making them believe if they sin they will still go to heaven) ...cursed children: which have FORSAKEN THE RIGHT WAY, and are GONE ASTRAY.”
*v. 20 “For if AFTER THEY HAVE ESCAPED the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ,THEY ARE ENTANGLED THEREIN, and OVERCOME, THE LATTER END IS WORSE THAN THE FIRST.”
*Romans 11:20-21 “…because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear: For if GOD SPARED NOT THE NATURAL BRANCHES, TAKE HEED LEST HE ALSO SPARE NOT THEE.”
WHAT DOES BORN AGAIN REALLY MEAN?
*2 Corinthians 5:17 “If any man be in Christ he is A NEW CREATURE. OLD THINGS, (the life of sin) ARE PAST AWAY; and behold, ALL THINGS ARE BECOME NEW.” If one is not changed, he is not in Christ nor does he have Christ’s righteousness.
*1 John 5:18 “WE KNOW that WHOSOEVER IS BORN OF GOD SINNETH NOT; but HE THAT IS BEGOTTEN OF GOD KEEPETH HIMSELF.”
*I John 3:9 “Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.”
JESUS’ WARNING
*Matthew 15:3, Jesus said, “YOU HOLD THE TRADITIONS OF MEN ABOVE THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD.”
*Matthew 15:7-8, “He answered and said unto them; well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, THIS PEOPLE HONORETH ME WITH THEIR LIPS BUT THEIR HEART IS FAR FROM ME.”
*verse 9, “Howbeit in vain do they worship me, TEACHING FOR DOCTRINES THE COMMANDMENTS OF MEN.”
IT DOES NOT MATTER IF ONE HAS MADE A PUBLIC PROFESSION OF FAITH IN CHRIST; ONE CANNOT LIVE IN SIN AND BE ETERNALLY SECURE, ACCORDING TO VOLUMES OF SCRIPTURES.
*Isaiah 48:1, describes those who preach this doctrine. “They MAKE MENTION THE GOD OF ISRAEL, but NOT IN TRUTH, NOR IN RIGHTEOUSNESS.”
*2 Timothy 2:19 “The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, LET EVERY ONE THAT NAMETH THE NAME OF CHRIST DEPART FROM INIQUITY.”
Millions of professing Christians live in adultery, lying, stealing, cheating, and idolatry...exactly like the worshippers of Baal.
*2 Peter 2:18 “For when THEY SPEAK GREAT SWELLING WORDS OF VANITY, THEY ALLURE THROUGH THE LUST OF THE FLESH, ...those that were clean escaped from them who LIVE IN ERROR.”
Most of the biggest “seeker sensitive” churches teach the doctrine of Eternal Security. This is an inoffensive, feel good Gospel that says what people want to hear. They can have Christ and their life of sins, and go to heaven, too. This type of teaching is done solely for soothing the consciences of people and for the purposes of gaining bigger memberships and more money. Those preaching this do not really believe the Bible nor do they care whether or not their members go to heaven or hell. They constantly assure their people that everything is okay when in reality it is not.
*Revelation 2:14 “I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the Doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balak to cast a STUMBLING BLOCK BEFORE THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL, to eat things sacrificed to idols, and TO COMMIT FORNICATION.”
ETERNAL SECURITY IS A DOCTRINE OF BAAL. It produces a lifestyle which is no different than what the pagan Baal worshippers of old lived.
ONE’S NAME CAN BE BLOTTED OUT OF THE BOOK OF LIFE
*Exodus 32:32 “Yet now, if thou wilt forgive their sin; and if not, BLOT ME, I pray thee, OUT OF THY BOOK which thou hast written.”
*Exodus 32:33 “And the LORD said unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I BLOT OUT OF MY BOOK.
*Deuteronomy 9:14 “Let me alone, that I may destroy them, and BLOT OUT THEIR NAME FROM UNDER HEAVEN:”
*Revelation 22:19 “And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, GOD SHALL TAKE AWAY HIS PART OUT OF THE BOOK OF LIFE.”
*Revelation 3:5, “He THAT OVERCOMETH...I WILL NOT BLOT OUT HIS NAME OUT OF THE BOOK OF LIFE.”
It is impossible to blot out a name that is not there in the first place! .
IT IS A DANGEROUS THING TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE GRACE OF GOD.
*Hebrews 12:17 “For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears.”
*Psalm 106:35 “They MINGLED WITH THE HEATHEN, AND LEARNED THEIR WORKS.”
We know the grace of God is a marvelous thing, that God would send Jesus to die for our sins and forgive us when we confess our sins and call on Him, but TO BELIEVE AND PRACTICE THE ETERNAL SECURITY DOCTRINE where one believes he can break the Ten Commandments and live a sinful life and still think he is going to go to heaven, IS A HUGE GAMBLE WITH YOUR ETERNAL SOUL. This doctrine contradicts a massive amount of scriptures that teach the opposite, that commands us to live a godly life. Because of the Eternal Security Doctrine many professing Christians live hypocritical lives. Their lifestyle is very little different than the ‘non-Christian’, pagan.
Another method of teaching Eternal Security is done by disguising and perverting the Bible’s teaching on righteousness. See the article ‘THE PERVERSION OF RIGHTEOUSNESS’ on www.lorendavis.com
