The
    Lake of Fire - PART II

THE REAL ORIGIN OF SIN 

I heard a world-famous televangelist say in his
    sermon that it was never God’s intention that Adam and Eve disobey His command
    and sin by eating of the forbidden tree. Most Christians would agree. They think God did
    not want Adam to sin; and Adam did not need to sin. If Adam had not sinned, we
    would all be living in a giant Garden of Eden to this very day. We would be in perfect
    health, there would be no sorrow, we would have pleasure twenty-four hours a day, we would
    never die, we would be happy and God too would be happy.

If Adam had shown just a little restraint the world
    wouldn’t be in the giant mess it is in today. Oh really? Well, why then didn’t
    Adam exercise restraint. What went wrong? Did the first humans malfunction? Was
    there a flaw in their original design. God was the Designer; is God the blame?
    Not according to Christendom. Is He at least responsible? Not according to
    Christendom. But why not?

Now listen carefully. Here is wisdom beyond its
    years. When a scientist creates an experiment or machine that malfunctions, is he
    responsible for the malfunction? Yes. Does he hold the experiment or machine responsible?
    No. Does he hold God responsible? No. Okay.

Now then, according to Christendom, when God creates
    an experiment or machine that malfunctions, is He responsible for the malfunction? No.
    Does He hold the experiment or machine responsible? Yes. Does He hold man responsible?
    Yes. See the wisdom?

I have just shown you one reason why God calls the
    WISDOM of this world, STUPIDITY!

      

"For the wisdom of this world is foolishness
      [Greek: stupidity] with God. For it is written, He takes the wise in their own
      craftiness" (I Cor. 3:19).

   

First, Christendom assumes that God’s
    creation of humans malfunctioned — they did NOT!

Second, they assume that God is not
    responsible and does not take responsibility — He DOES!

One unscriptural assumption added to another
    unscriptural assumption does not equal a Bible Truth!

Few indeed have ever stopped long enough to consider
    that just maybe God intended for the world to be in the hellish mess that we find it. Not
    for all eternity, but for the present, for a period of time, for a great purpose. It just
    seems so wrong to Christian thought to believe that God would have purposed such an evil
    and unhappy world. But look at the alternative. Are we to believe that God tried (albeit
    unsuccessfully) to make a good creation, but was unaware of its potential to run amok? And
    ever since, God must therefore either lack the love for humanity to straighten it out, or
    He lacks the power and ability. But either way it disowns God’s sovereignty and
    presents us with a God Who either CANNOT or WILL NOT STOP THE INSANITY! They
    would have us believe that God’s solution to rid the world of sin and evil is to
    torture most of humanity in fire for all eternity.

The whole idea is blasphemous. If a
    carnal-minded
    human can take responsibility for an invention that malfunctions, I submit, that God is
    bigger and more responsible than puny man. Be it known to all that God takes full
    responsibility for His creation, and absolutely nothing in His creation is malfunctioning.
    Here’s the proof:

If a thousand Christians were given the assignment
    to write an essay describing the world as it was after God completed it, but before man
    sinned, I am positive that we would get one thousand essays describing the unbelievable
    beauty, harmony, and perfection of all creation including man and beast. However, would
    such essays be based on the Scriptures? Let’s look at a little understood Scripture.

      

"For the creature [and/or creation
      itself] was MADE subject to VANITY NOT WILLINGLY, but by reason of
      Him [that’s God] Who HATH SUBJECTED the same in hope. Because the creature
      itself also shall be delivered from the BONDAGE OF CORRUPTION into
      the glorious liberty of the children of God. For we know that the WHOLE CREATION groans
      and travails IN PAIN until NOW" (Rom. 8:20-22)!

   

Wow! Did you know that Scripture is in the Bible?
    Have you ever meditated at length on its meaning? This one Scripture does much damage to
    Christian doctrine. From a strictly carnal-minded approach, this Scripture is devastating.
    Let’s see what these words entail from Strong’s GREEK DICTIONARY OF THE NEW
    TESTAMENT:

      

VANITY: empty, profitless, vain,
      transientness [temporary], depravity [wickedness].

      

BONDAGE: slavery, subjection, subserviency.

      

CORRUPTION: shrivel, wither, spoil, ruin,
      deprave, defile, destroy, decay, perish

      

GROAN: moan, calamity, be in straits, murmur,
      grief, grudge, anguish.

      

TRAVAIL: pangs, to pain together, travail as
      in birth.

      

PAIN: anguish, toil for daily subsistence,
      starving.

   

The force of these verses in Rom. 8:20-22 is
    inescapable. It was God HIMSELF Who subjected the whole creation to vanity, and He
    didn’t ask anyone’s permission before He did it. And it is only God Himself Who
    will deliver the whole creation from the bondage of corruption, pain, and suffering. Make
    no mistake about it: God is the Creator of evil, and He takes full responsibility for the deliverance
    from the consequences of all the evils that have caused the creation to "groan and
    travail in PAIN until NOW" as Paul describes. God takes responsibility for the
    temporary failures of creation so that He can take all the credit and glory for its
    successes.

And most of the glory that God will receive is from
    the glory that He gives to all mankind.

It was not possible for Satan NOT TO SIN — he was created
    for the express purpose of being God’s Adversary, and so, of course, he was a sinner
    "FROM THE BEGINNING"!

It was not possible for Adam and Eve NOT TO SIN –
    they were created for the express purpose of being molded into the "image of
    God," and so of course, they had to eat of the forbidden tree of the knowledge of
    good and evil or they would have NEVER reached this first spiritual step in
    becoming LIKE GOD (in His IMAGE), a step of paramount DIVINE REQUISITE:

      

"And the LORD God said, Behold [consider,
      to perceive, to know, to understand], the man is BECOME AS ONE OF US
      [Hebrew for ‘God’ is elohiym which is the plural of elowahh, hence
      ‘us’], TO KNOW GOOD AND EVIL…" (Gen. 3:22).

   

Knowing "good and evil" is one of the most
    essential requisites in being formed in the image of God. To truly "know" both
    good and evil they HAD to partake of its source, which was the "TREE of the knowledge
    of good and evil," which then DEMANDED that they SIN in order to obtain this
    "knowledge." NO OTHER TREE IN THE GARDEN POSSESSED THIS NEEDED KNOWLEDGE!

And so it was GOD, and none other than GOD, Who
    intended from the beginning that Satan and man SIN! That does not make God a sinner, for a
    sin is a "mistake," a "missing of the mark," a "falling short of
    the glory of God," and God has NEVER MADE A MISTAKE OR FALLEN SHORT OF TOTAL
    PERFECTION! God knew what He was doing and how things would turn out BEFORE He created
    ANYTHING! "Declaring the end from the beginning…" (Isa.
    46:10). Satan and man are "accountable" for their sins, because they sinned
    willingly from their heart, but God takes "responsibility" for their sins, and
    therefore had already provided them a Saviour BEFORE the foundation of the world:

      

"But with the precious blood of Christ, as
      of a lamb without blemish and without spot: Who verily was FOREORDAINED BEFORE THE
      FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD, but was manifested in these last times for you" (I Pet.
      1:19-20).

      

"And all that dwell upon the earth shall
      worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb [Christ]
      slain from the FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD" (Rev. 13:8).

   

Is anyone so naive and blind as to believe that God
    had prepared a Lamb, a Sacrifice, His SON, to be slain for the sins of the world at a time
    when theologians would have us believe God didn’t even KNOW there was shortly coming
    such a thing as SIN? God knew; God is smart! It was God Who created the tree of the
    knowledge of good and evil It was God Who placed it right in the middle of the garden to
    catch Eve’s eye. It was God Who made the tree particularly attractive and desirable.
    It was God who placed in the humans the desires and passions that would CAUSE them to
    partake of the forbidden fruit. It was God who placed Satan the serpent in the garden to
    tempt Eve and fill her head with the glories of enlightenment. It was God Who had ALREADY
    made preparation for their salvation through the slain Lamb of God.

Only ignorant and foolish theologians would ever
    charge God of being ignorant of the conduct and behavior of His own creation. It was not
    the temptation or deception entering INTO Eve that caused her to sin and bring separation
    from her Creator and God. It was what was already in her that caused her to sin.
    Proof:

      

"For out of the heart proceed evil
      thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies"
      (Mat. 15:19).

      

Notice it: "And when the woman saw [in
      her heart] that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eye [in
      her heart], and a tree to be desired [in her heart] to make one wise
      [an idol of the heart], she took [’For out of the heart
      proceed ... thefts...’] of the fruit thereof, and did eat" (Gen.
      3:6).

   

Did you notice that last phrase "…and did
    eat"? It was not the "eating" of the fruit that made her a sinner — she
    had ALREADY sinned by looking, lusting, and fantasizing about her potential wisdom. It was
    AFTER she sinned that she "did eat."

The good news is that all of our suffering is for a
    grand purpose and will ultimately bring huge rewards. Just two verses before, Paul
    tells us how God subjected the whole creation to these many evils and he gives us this
    comforting thought:

      

"For I reckon that the sufferings of this
      present time [’groaning and travailing in pain together until now’
      Ver 22] are not worthy to be compared with the GLORY which shall be revealed in US"
      (Ver. 18).

   

ONLY GOD IS RESPONSIBLE

I am going to cover considerable Scriptural material
    in this series that many may not think directly relates to the Lake of Fire-Second Death.
    Trust me, it does. It will be of little value for me to just technically prove from the
    Scriptures that God does not eternally torture anyone in the lake of fire-second death, or
    anywhere else for that matter.

In the light of today’s spiritual darkness and
    global apostasy, it is most needful to understand some basic spiritual truths before
    launching into a word-for-word explanation of the dozen or so verses related to the lake
    of fire-second death. We will do that, but before we do, we are going to learn a great
    deal about God, life, death, the Scriptures, the purpose for our existence, and the
    destiny of the whole human race. All in one paper? I’ll try to hit the high spots.

Most Christians have a one-sided and often evil
    concept of judgment. They think of it primarily as a negative and horrible thing that
    wicked people must go through before being sentenced to some fabled fiery hellhole of
    torture and eternal damnation.

Judgment is not reserved exclusively for the wicked,
    nor is it a one-sided sentence of doom. There are many problems with the orthodox teaching
    of judgment. Much emphasis is placed on a few Scriptures taken out of the context of all
    of God’s counsel regarding judgment. The subject is too large even for this paper,
    however, I will try to present both sides of judgment.

Judgment has both a positive and a negative side.
    That is judgment itself contains both. The result of the two faces of judgment, however, I
    am happy to report, will not perpetuate the dual masks of comedy and tragedy for all
    eternity, but rather a "smiley face" for all.

If people could only see that God is not a
    carnal-minded human as themselves. He is GOD — The Great Creator, Sustainer, and Saviour
    of all — GOD! God has a plan, a procedure, and a purpose for this creation. Precious few
    have even a basic understanding of what it is. Nothing in creation is out of control from
    God’s perspective. Nothing ever surprises God or catches Him off guard. God does not
    view the activity of His creation from His celestial vantage point unaware of what people
    will do next. God knows all in advance. God doesn’t just know what "will"
    happen in the future, He causes all that will happen in the future. God IS the
    future. God is the Alpha and the Omega — He IS the beginning; He IS the end, and nothing
    can be different from what God says MUST BE.

We have got to get away from the "God allows
    certain things" mentality and syndrome. God CREATES, God DESTROYS, God HEALS, God
    KILLS, God CAUSES, God BRINGS ABOUT. God SAVES. God does not "allow" things that
    He has not foreordained to be! This popular doctrine among the religions of the world is
    utter unscriptural foolishness. The teaching suggests that man does things that God had no
    previous knowledge of, does not approve of, wishes would have never happened, but
    nonetheless, He "allows" them. Certainly He "allows" them in as much
    as He does not "disallow" them, but this still begs the question as to their
    true origin. God is the Creator, not Satan.

      

"For OF Him, and THROUGH Him, and TO Him,
      are all things: to Whom be glory for ever.  Amen" (KJV Rom. 11:36).

      

"Seeing that OUT of Him and THROUGH Him and
      FOR Him is all…" (Concordant Version).

   

Does this also include EVIL?

      

"That they may know from the rising of the
      sun, and from the west, that there is none beside Me, I am the LORD, and there is none
      else. I form the light, and create darkness; I make peace, AND CREATE EVIL:
      I the LORD do ALL THESE THINGS" (Isaiah 45:6-7).

   

There are many many things in life that are very
    hard to accept and deal with in our weakened spiritual state. I cannot, after all this
    time, get the images of the Twin Towers collapsing on thousands of people, out of my mind.
    Or maybe even worse, the men, women and children in the four planes that knew they were
    destined to a violent disintegration in fire! I get teary-eyed every time I think of it.
    It is extremely traumatic to contemplate. And now another shuttle disaster! One at the
    hands of evil terrorists; the other an accident, fate, providence? But what is gained by
    trying to take all of these things out of the realm of God’s responsibility? God and
    God only has the "ability-to-respond." Man is not running God’s creation,
    God is. How can any doubt it?

We all have our own personal financial, health,
    social, mental, and spiritual trials in addition to thousands of other problems in our
    home, community, state, nation and world which can easily overwhelm us if we are not well
    grounded. Do we think all these things just invented themselves and brought themselves
    into existence? I tell you No; these are all the design of an all-wise God.

People freely admit that God knows every sparrow
    that falls, the individual names of one hundred billion billion stars, and the number of
    hairs on five and one half billion people’s head at any given second of the day, but
    that He is, nonetheless, just not concerned with the smaller details of your life.

FATE OF THE SHUTTLE VICTIMS

Let’s reflect for a moment on the Space
    Shuttle. It was heart-wrenching to say the least in realizing that there were seven
    astronauts in that shuttle which we all watched dozens of times from different videos
    tracking its re-entry. Some of them on board were professed Christians. But for sure one,
    Col. Ilan Ramon, was a Jew who did not profess Jesus as His Saviour. So when the rubber
    hits the road, where does Christian doctrine stand on Col. Ramon’s eternal destiny?

Did not all of Israel show extreme remorse over
    their fallen Son and Hero? Yes they did — I saw them myself! Did peoples from all around
    the world show remorse for his death? Yes they did. Did people all over America show
    remorse and profound sorrow over his death (along with the others, of course)? Yes, we all
    saw it on national TV. Did you show remorse for this Jewish Astronaut who gave his life in
    service to his country? I am sure you did. And I can testify to the fact that I certainly
    did and still do. Regardless of his religious affiliation, was not Col. Ramon a brave,
    smart, loving, astronaut and family man? Now then, what about God? Does God love Col.
    Ramon as much as his family, friends and country did? What happens to fine young Jewish men
    like Col. Ramon when they die without accepting Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour?
    According to Christian theology, where is Col. Ramon now that he is dead? You will now see
    some of the reasons why I breathe and why I write these papers.

A FAMOUS THEOLOGIAN’S VIEW OF THE GOSPEL

Christendom teaches that when a person dies in his
    sins, without repenting or accepting Jesus Christ as his personal Saviour, that person is
    then doomed to the damnation of the fires of hell for all eternity! And it matters not
    whether that person was a loving husband, a loving father, or a fearless hero for his
    nation. According to this immutable Christian doctrine of eternal torment, Col. Ramon is
    right now burning and suffering unspeakable torture in the fires of some eternal hell.
    Why? Because he was Jewish and not Christian by religion, that’s why. Would these
    Christian theologians and preachers get on international television and tell their
    audiences that since Col. Ramon was Jewish that he is now burning in the fires of an
    eternal hell, and that God will never, ever let him out or ever show the slightest mercy
    on him? Not in a million years. Does anyone believe that the words "hypocrite"
    and "coward" are inappropriate here?

Let me give you a few quotations regarding the
    gospel from world famous preacher, teacher, author, and theologian, Dr. James Kennedy. All
    italics are Dr. Kennedy’s.

      

"This is the light of Christ. It is the light
      of grace, and it is not incumbent upon God to extend it to everyone. Let us make it very
      clear that it is not incumbent upon God to extend it to anyone."

   

      

"Therefore, the light of Christ is not extended
      to everyone…"

      

"And thus we see the exclusivity of the
      Gospel…"

      

"But because God extends it [the light of
      Christ] to some does not mean He must extend it to any other."

      

"He [God] doesn’t have to be gracious or
      merciful to any guilty sinner…"

      

"So the idea that God owes to everyone
      some offer of mercy is totally foreign from [to?] the Bible."

      

"The great Charles Spurgeon said that the
      amazing thing is not that everybody isn’t saved; the amazing thing is that anybody
      is saved."

      

"Heavenly Father, I pray that your Spirit will
      give us a clear vision of the plight of the lost — those who are on their way to eternal
      perdition, to damnation forever."

   

The above quotations are from a Sermon by James
    Kennedy, A.B., M.Div., M.Th., D.D., D.Sac.Lit., PhD., Litt.D., D.Sac.Theol., D.Humane
    Let., entitled: What About Those Who Have Never Heard? Without a doubt, this is the
    most blasphemous and evil sermon I have ever heard in my 62-year life! But are we not
    learning that even these bad sermons that blaspheme God’s character, are also
    God’s intention? His greatest enemies and adversaries always included "the
    shepherd," the "Scribes," the "priests," and those inimitable
    religious leaders in every era — The Pharisees!

I thought that it was fitting and a nice gesture of
    our President to state that although the astronauts did not make it back to earth, his
    prayer was that they are "ALL SAFELY HOME!" He is of the Christian faith, but he
    did not assign Col. Ramon to the fires of hell for his Jewish non-Christian faith. I
    believe there are many Christians that wouldn’t touch the despicable doctrines of a
    James Kennedy with a ten foot pole. It’s true, they are safely home. They are all in
    God’s keeping. They are all asleep (there are dozens of Scriptures that say that the
    dead are sleeping until resurrection) awaiting the resurrection of the dead.

And those that were not believers will be judged.
    That judging will involve the lake of fire which is the second death. But does that mean
    that Col. Ramon and any other nonbelievers will be tortured for all eternity? Remember
    that fateful day when all of our hearts went out to Col. Ramon’s and his six
    companions? Remember how that NASA and our whole nation would have done ANYTHING at ANY
    expense if we could have saved them? Remember how you felt? But the big question to answer
    now is how will GOD feel when Col. Ramon stands before the judgment seat of Christ?

Will God hate Col. Ramon for being deceived and not
    accepting Christ as his Saviour? Will God teach Col. Ramon His truths so that he too can
    know the Truth (Jesus) and be set free? Or will He throw Col. Ramon (along with ALL his
    Jewish family members and the WHOLE NATION of Jesus rejecting Jews) into a lake of fire
    that will torture their flesh with steel-melting fire for all eternity? Do the high
    priests of Christendom really have Scriptures that contradict the hundred or so Scriptures
    I have quoted in this present paper? Is there a single Scripture in the entirety of the
    Bible that actually says God will torture anyone for all eternity? There is NO such
    Scripture and NO such thought. You will all see the proof before this series is finished.

The fate of Col. Ramon according to the teaching of
    Christendom is inescapable. Since he rejected Jesus Christ as his personal Saviour, he is
    right now this minute screaming his guts out in the fires of hell in agonizing pain and
    terror fare worse than the horrors of his space shuttle breaking up and burning in
    re-entry into the earth’s atmosphere! That, my dear readers, is what their teaching
    demands. Will Col. Ramon go from burning up in reentry, to burning in hell until judgment,
    and then be transferred to the lake of fire to burn for all eternity? Is this mercy’s
    destiny? This is unscriptural insanity.

I am not out of touch with the realities of real
    life. I would be happy to swap war stories with any of you. I know that there are many
    things in life that are hard, and painful, and difficult to endure. Why are these things
    here, who is responsible, and where will it all end? There is a way to understand these
    things from God’s perspective. He has not left us in the dark as to the source,
    meaning, and purpose of all the evil in the world today even though things are often
    difficult to emotionally and spiritually accept.

I do not hesitate to add however, that there are
    also many wonderful and beautiful and loving things in the world as well. I trust most of
    us don’t have too much trouble dealing with the beautiful and loving side of life. It
    is the painful side of our human experience that is sometimes difficult to believe has a
    reasonable purpose for its existence. Even our Lord, Who was involved in the creation of
    all things (Col. 1:15-20), and knew the purpose of all things (Eph. 1:11), and knew that
    He was to be the Savior of all mankind (I Tim. 2:4), and the Saviour of all creation from
    vanity, slavery, and corruption (Rom. 8:21), nonetheless, when seeing Jerusalem headed for
    utter destruction because of rejecting Him and His gospel, He WEPT over it (Luke 19:41)!
    God has pity on weak and foolish humanity, whom He Himself has created that way.

Either God Himself is the Creator of good and evil
    and all that is and will bring about a total healing, restoration, and perfection of all
    there is, or, God is not the Creator of good and evil and all that is, and therefore is
    not responsible for the mess the world is in today which supposedly will end with most of
    humanity going to hell in a hand basket to suffer — insanely suffer — for ALL ETERNITY!
    All Scripture and sanity itself tells us the former is the Truth. Christendom and insanity
    tells us that the latter is the truth.

DID GOD CREATE AN UNPREDICTABLE WORLD?

Here is one of the most profound Scriptural Truths
    that you will ever learn. GOD is the originator and Creator of the entire universe and
    everything that is in it! GOD is responsible for the entire universe and everything that
    is in it! And to say otherwise in both unscriptural and foolishness.

There are only three possibilities as to why things
    are the way they are;

      

Why there is evil and tragedy in the world;

      

Why people do evil things to other people;

      

Why the innocent must suffer at the hands of the
      wicked;

      

Why people are born with debilitating defects;

      

Why the whole world lies in spiritual darkness and
      paganism;

      

Why billions live and die without ever hearing the
      name of Jesus Christ their Creator and Saviour;

      

Why men are often tortured by providence and nature
      itself which operates completely and independently apart from any man.

   

When we understand these things we will understand
    the lake of fire and second death, and a thousand other things that happen in our lives
    today as well as in the lives of all humanity since Mother Eve!

THREE POSSIBLE ANSWERS

1. ACCORDING TO ATHEISTS: The human race is the
           byproduct of a blind, unintelligent, accidental, evolutionary process started billions of
           years ago by a humongous cosmic BIG BANG. Therefore NO HIGHER POWER is responsible for
           anything. If anyone believes this, then the Scripture speaks to YOU when it says:
          
           "The FOOL has said in his heart, ‘There IS NO God’" (Psalm
           53:1).

         

2. ACCORDING TO CHRISTENDOM: The human race and
           angelic messengers are the perfect creation of an all-wise, all-powerful, all-knowing,
           undeceivable, untrickable, unfoolable, intelligent, and loving GOD. That’s the good
           news. Here’s the bad: God’s first and most perfect specimen created out of the
           combined intelligence, power and wisdom of a perfect God, was a great spirit archangel
           they call, Lucifer. (Incidentally and Scripturally, "Lucifer" was never a proper
           noun or name for anyone)!
          
           The Christian teaching is that before God ever created the first man, this perfect
           archangel whom Christians call Lucifer, went bad! He was perfect but he turned
           bad! He turned into a bad angel (excuse me, archangel). Did God create
           him to turn bad? No. Did God know that he would turn bad? No. Did God wish that he hadn’t
           turned bad? Yes. But was there anything God could do about it? No. Why did
           God’s first and greatest creation to that time, malfunction? How can a PERFECT
           creation by a PERFECT Creator … malfunction? "Houston … WE HAVE A
           PROBLEM"! God doesn’t have a problem; Christendom has a problem. And
   it is the BIGGEST single problem in all Christendom! It is huge. It is
   this very Satanic LIE that has given birth to the most evil doctrines
   on the face of the earth in the history of the world!
          
           According to this Christian theory [hypothesis], the very first thing that The
           Omnipresent, Omnipotent, Omniscient, Creator God made, not only malfunctioned, but turned
           into a DAMNABLE, DIABOLICAL DEVIL! This devil has ever since, relentlessly wreaked havoc
           on every facet of God’s creation which will consummate with a lake of fire that will
           continue to insanely torture most of the human race for all eternity! Salvation is
           pictured as God’s nearly vain attempt to salvage but a few from the grasp of this
           colossal cosmic experiment gone amok! God’s Spiritual Frankenstein Monster has turned
           on Him and His children. And it has already been predetermined that Satan will be the
           final Victor when all the marbles are counted. Not a pretty picture. This is the god that
           the world of paganism is supposed to put their eternal confidence in! A god who cannot or
           will not protect his own children from this cosmic wolf in sheep’s clothing. (Small
           "g" intended). And you think I am too hard on the doctrines of Christendom? You
           have no idea.
          
           Hence it is Satan that is supposedly responsible for introducing evil into the world.
           Satan supposedly chose to disobey God and therefore we also must choose, on our own, by
           our own power, as to whether we will follow and obey Satan; or follow and obey God. This
           is the Christian position on this matter of good and evil.

         

3. ACCORDING TO GOD AND THE SCRIPTURES: Don’t
           get me wrong, Christendom did not originate this theological problem (Satan did); they
           merely continue to parrot the original author. Satan LIES! Yes he does. He is a LIAR, and
           the FATHER of lies and he has ALWAYS been that way since his CREATION (John 8:44). Satan
           was NOT "Lucifer" (a supposed perfect archangel) from the beginning; Satan was
           "Satan" from the beginning. Satan is an EVIL creature. He has been an evil
           creature from his very creation. Satan is not the result of a Godly experiment gone wrong!
           Satan is functioning PERFECTLY as God’s adversary. Satan is essential to the purpose
           and salvation of the whole human race. That is why God created him in the first place.

         

WHENCE SATAN THE DEVIL?

According to Christendom, Satan created himself. He
    was supposedly a perfect archangel and then CHANGED HIMSELF INTO A DEVIL. Is this
    Scripturally true? Who created Satan?

1. You are of your FATHER the DEVIL [the GREAT
           DRAGON, OLD SERPENT, the DEVIL, and SATAN {Hebrew for Adversary -- I Pet. 5:8} Rev.
           12:9], and the lusts of your father ye will do… He was a murderer FROM THE BEGINNING,
           and abode not in the truth [from the beginning], because there is no truth in him [from
           the beginning]. When he speaks a lie, he speaks of his own: for he is a liar [from
           the beginning], and the father [the beginner] of it" (John 8:44).

    

2. "Now the SERPENT was more subtle than any
           beast of the field which the LORD GOD had MADE…" (Gen. 3:1) God
           "made" this serpent which TALKED with Eve as an articulate, intelligent,
           creature. Satan did not possess this serpent of the field, Satan was this
           serpent! Satan doesn’t possess snakes! Satan himself was CREATED A SERPENT. Even
           Paul acknowledges that it was "the SERPENT" that deluded Eve, and not some other
           creature possessing a snake (II Cor. 11:3).
          
           "And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between THY SEED and her seed,
           it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel" (Gen. 3:15). 
          
           This serpent that shall bruise the heel of Eve’s seed (singular seed — Christ) is
           clearly Satan the Devil who also has seed, "thy seed." Jesus said, "You
           are of your father the Devil…?" (John 8:44). Satan the Devil has
           "seed"; he is a "father": a father has children and followers of like
           nature. No literal snake ever produced a seed that bruised the heel of Jesus. Snakes
           do not "eat dust" but Satan dines on mankind "Be sober, be vigilant;
           because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may
           devour [Greek: (lit. or fig.) gulp entirely, swallow up] I Pet. 5:8). And he seeks to
           devour mankind who are "dust" of the earth ("…for dust thou
           art…." Gen. 3:19).

         

3. "By HIS SPIRIT He hath garnished the
           heavens; his HAND has FORMED THE CROOKED SERPENT" (Job 26:13). God garnished the
           heavens by His SPIRIT, because they are a thing of great glory, beauty, and splendor. But
           the crooked SERPENT God formed by His "hand" — at ARMS LENGTH. Thus indicating
           it was something necessary, but not of His HEART AND SPIRIT! Satan is called "the crooked
           serpent." This word crooked comes from a Hebrew word that is not translated
           "crooked" anywhere else in the Bible. The word in Hebrew is bariach, and
           it means "a fugitive," Strong’s #1281. And "fugitive" is
           from the Hebrew word nuwa, Strong’s #5128, among its several meanings are:
           "to [go] up and down," and "to and fro," and to "sift."
           Remember that God names things according to what they are and what they do:
          
           (A) "And the LORD [is this a high enough authority for everyone?] Said
           unto SATAN [not a heretofore archangel], Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered
           the LORD, and said, ‘From going TO AND FRO in the earth, and from walking UP
           AND DOWN in it" (Job. 1:7 and 2:2).
          
           It is the "crooked [fugitive] SERPENT" SATAN who goes "TO AND
           FRO" and "UP AND DOWN" in the earth! God created Satan for this purpose.
          
           (B) "And the LORD said [is this a high enough authority for everyone?], Simon,
           Simon, behold, SATAN [not a heretofore archangel] hath desired
           to have you, that he may SIFT you as wheat" (Luke 22:31).
          
           It is the "crooked [fugitive] SERPENT" SATAN who
           "SIFTS" men like wheat! God created Satan for this purpose.

    

4. "Behold, I have created the smith [that’s
           me] that blows the coals in the fire, and that brings forth an instrument for His work,
           and I have CREATED THE WASTER TO DESTROY" (Isaiah 54:16).
          
           ["waster" -- Hebrew: shachath, decay, ruin, batter, cast off,
           corrupt, destroy, lose, mar, perish, spill spoil -- UTTERLY WASTE, #7843, p. 115, Strong’s
           Hebrew and Chaldee Dictionary].
          
           God created the "WASTER," not the archangel who later supposedly became
           Satan, but from the BEGINNING God said He created "The WASTER" and
           He created him "TO DESTROY" Now then, WHO’S role is it to
           "destroy" the flesh of man so that the spirit may be saved?
          
           "In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when you are gathered together, and my spirit,
           with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, To deliver such an one UNTO SATAN for
           DESTRUCTION of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord
           Jesus" (I Cor. 5:4-5).
          
           It is SATAN who was created from his very beginning to be "the WASTER to DESTROY"
           men’s flesh (carnal mindedness) so that they learn not to blaspheme (I Tim. 1:20).
           Satan started with Adam and Eve and he isn’t finished YET!

         

5. "And no marvel [Gk: to wonder with
           ASTONISHMENT]; for Satan himself is transformed [Gk: meta schematizo,
           transfigure -- to change the outward form or appearance, to make GLORIOUS] into
           an ANGEL OF LIGHT" (II Cor. 11:14).

    

6. I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is
           no God beside me: I girded you, though you have not known me: That they may know from the
           rising of the sun, and from the west, that there none beside Me. I am the LORD, and there
           is none else. I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, AND CREATE EVIL:
           I the LORD do ALL [even the creation of evil and even the creation of Satan] THESE
           THINGS" (Isaiah 45:5-7).
          
           Satan is evil, God created evil, God CREATED SATAN!

         

7. "He that commits sin is of the DEVIL [Gk:
           Adversary, Satan] for the Devil SINS FROM THE BEGINNING. For this purpose
           the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the WORKS of the Devil" (I
           John 3:8). So was it AFTER a supposed "Lucifer archangel"
           metamorphosed into Satan that he sinned, or did Satan the Adversary sin "from the BEGINNING?
          

         

Can the high priests of Christendom ever get
    anything Scripturally correct? They cite Isaiah 14 and Ezekiel 28 (I will write a paper on
    these two chapters in the near future) as proof that Satan was once a perfect and glorious
    archangel.

They claim that a PERFECT AND GLORIOUS
    LIGHT-BRINGING ARCHANGEL CHANGED HIMSELF INTO SATAN THE DEVIL, whereas we
    just read in the divine, inspired, infallible Word of God that contrariwise, it is
    SATAN THE DEVIL WHO HAS TRANSFORMED HIMSELF INTO A PERFECT AND GLORIOUS ANGEL OF
    LIGHT! The Scriptures teach the diametric opposite from what Christendom is
    teaching. But it is mandatory that they teach this lie, because it is mandatory that they
    deny every Scripture that says GOD CREATED EVIL or EVIL CREATURES! It doesn’t fit
    their theology. They must find a way that allows God to torture billions of people in fire
    without being evil Himself or even responsible for doing so. The origin of sin and evil
    must be placed on the creature rather than the Creator. This way the creature is
    responsible for everything and the Creator is responsible for nothing!

And so it is stated that men CHOOSE to go into the
    lake of fire and suffer eternal pain, and God’s hands are tied by a doctrine that
    Satan has planted into the hearts of all men everywhere. An idol of the heart of such
    magnitude that men will DIE to preserve it. Deceived humanity has perceived this idol to
    be of the greatest value of anything that can ever reside in the heart of man including
    the Holy Spirit of God!

And just what is it, specifically, that gave this
    fictitious archangel the ability to metamorphose himself into a devil? Which thing also
    then permits God to torture humanity eternally in fire, without it being His fault? Which
    thing also empowers man with the ability to thwart the VERY WILL OF GOD ALMIGHTY?

THE ILLUSION OF FREE WILL

Here it is, the magical source of man’s
    imagined deity. It is, of course, "HUMAN FREE WILL." Or, as in the
    case with Satan, "SATANIC FREE WILL." And just what is human and
    satanic free will? It is a fictitious power that Satan and all humans
    imagine they have,
    which gives them the power to make choices that have NO CAUSE. Do not mistake what I have
    said. Choice is not the power to MAKE choices. We all have that power. Choice is a power
    of the brain, mind, and spirit. It is a logical functioning mechanism. Even a
    sophisticated computer can "make choices" based on other data at its disposal
    contained in its memories. But making choices is not … I repeat is NOT, judging,
    determining or selecting something BASED ON NOTHING!!!

The first edict of the physical universe is
    "CAUSE AND EFFECT." There cannot be an effect anywhere in the universe, on
    earth, in a laboratory under strict controls, or in the mind of a human being that does
    not have A CAUSE! It is axiomatic! It is not debatable! It is a LAW OF GOD!
    And therefore, the most lawless of all lawless conceptions possible is that man can make
    choices and decisions that are NOT BROUGHT INTO EXISTENCE BY EITHER INTERNAL OR EXTERNAL
    CAUSES AND FORCES!!! It is, in fact, an attempt at nihilism of the very laws of physics.
    And so theologians, philosophers and the world’s greatest wisdom thinkers would have
    us believe that free will is a power even greater than God Himself, seeing that even God
    does not think things, or create things from NOTHING! God does NOT operate the universe by
    decisions based on nothing and therefore having no cause.

      

"In Whom also we have obtained an
      inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of Him Who works [Greek:
      ‘is operating’] ALL things after [after what? His ‘free’ will?]
      … After the COUNSEL of His own will" (Eph. 1:11)!

   

Nor does God create things out of NOTHING:

      

"…IN [Greek is ‘in’ not
      ‘by’] Him [Christ] is ALL CREATED, that in the heavens and that on the
      earth…" (Col. 1:16).

 
   

      

"For OUT [the Greek is ‘out’
      not ‘of’] of Him and THROUGH Him and FOR [Greek is ‘for’ not
      ‘to’] is ALL" (Rom. 11:36).

   

So creation is "IN Christ," but "OUT
    of God." Not, out of "nothing." The universe consists of the things of
    God’s already eternally existing SELF. God is SPIRIT (John 4:24). And what is matter
    but invisible spiritual power and energy?

      

"Through faith we understand that the worlds
      were framed by the word of God, so that THINGS which are seen [physical matter]
      were not made of things [were they then made of nothing? NO] which DO APPEAR"
      (Heb. 11:3).

   

There it is. God made everything out of things that
    DO NOT APPEAR [invisible things] not out of things that do appear [physical things], and
    this is because GOD HIMSELF IS INVISIBLE!

      

"Now to the King of the eons, the
      incorruptible, INVISIBLE, only, and wise God…" (I Tim. 1:17).

   

God follows His own spiritual laws. "Free
    will" sounds like a marvelous and magical thing — it is rather, however, the god of
    stupidity. It is the height of man’s foolishness and human wisdom. It is both ungodly
    and unscriptural! It is an affront to the Sovereignty of God. Man and Satan are not
    deities that can operate independently of the Creator! The theory is a hoax, a farce, a
    sham. Its only reality is as an IDOL OF THE HEART which will be burned out of every
    son whom God scourges.

Of course all theologians are quick to point out
    that man does not possess total free will. Man’s will is obviously limited we
    are told. Oh really? So it is "limited free will" that Satan and all humans
    possess is it? Does no one ever bother to question the contradictions of Christian
    doctrine?

      

"Iimited, a. restricted," Webster’s
      Twentieth Century Dictionary, page 963.

   

      

"free, a, without
      restriction," Webster’s Twentieth Century dictionary page, page 682.

   

Does everyone know the meaning of the word "contradiction?"
    Only Satan could convince otherwise intelligent people that they have a
    "limited" — restricted, "free" – without restriction
    "will." For sure man has a will, however, it is anything but FREE!

      

"For it is GOD which works in
      you both to WILL and to DO of His good pleasure"
      (Phil. 2:13).

   

"To will" requires a "work" of
    GOD! We all choose as we choose because there are things and forces and situations by the
    millions beyond anyone’s control that CAUSE US TO CHOOSE AS WE DO! It matters not
    that you cannot see or feel the cause. It is there and it does its work on you. And when
    causes make you choose, then that particular choice could not have ever been otherwise.
    God is the great CAUSE of all there is. I know Christians by the hundreds of millions deny
    it and deny God’s Word that teaches it. That unbelief and lack of faith, however, does not
    change the facts of God’s Word or the laws of physics.

That God creates good and peace, there is no
    question. That

      

"Every good gift and every perfect gift is
      from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness,
      neither shadow of turning" (James. 1:17),

   

There is also no question about it among Christians.
    That God is the creator of evil and preordained the sin of Adam, however, is believed by
    virtually no one.

And so it is that neither man nor Satan can do
    anything contrary to the intention of God. God has a will that includes a final destiny of
    total perfection of His whole creation. God has set man and Satan (his very name means
    adversary) AGAINST HIS OWN WILL for a period of time. But during this period when everyone
    goes against God’s will, God INTENDS them to do so. And when God no longer
    "intends" for there to be any more adversaries or enemies opposing Him or His
    will, He will remove all such opposition (See I Cor. 15:21-28). ALL OF GOD’S WILL,
    WILL THEN BE DONE!

Therefore it should come as no shock to us when we
    learn that even the destruction and crucifixion of His own Son was God’s INTENTION
    from before He even created the world:

The Kings of the earth stood up, and the Rulers
    were gathered together against the LORD, and against HIS CHRIST.

      

"For of a truth against Thy Holy Child JESUS
      Whom THOU [God the Father] hast anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the
      Gentiles, and the people of Israel [God anointed them ALL for this purpose], were
      gathered together, For to do whatsoever THY HAND [the very HAND OF GOD], AND thy
      counsel [God works ALL according to His ‘counsel’ Eph. 1:11] determined
      BEFORE [God predestinated His Son’s crucifixion before the foundation of the
      world Rev. 13:8] to be done" (Acts 4:26-28).

   

And so we see that ultimately, behind the scenes, it
    was really God the Father Who planned and brought about the Crucifixion of His Own Son! We
    are all accountable for the death of His Son, because He died on OUR BEHALF and for
    OUR SINS which we voluntarily sinned, but it is God Himself Who is RESPONSIBLE for His
    Son’s Death. And God takes responsibility. And He takes responsibility for EVERYTHING that
    happens in His creation and universe! Therefore God will bring all things back to
    restoration and perfection. It is so sad that this grand truth is so violently opposed by
    the enemies of the Cross.

There are three Scriptural reasons for this evil
    doctrine of eternal torture in a lake of fire:

1. "The heart [of carnal unconverted
           mankind] is DECEITFUL ABOVE ALL THINGS, and DESPERATELY WICKED: who can
           know it" (Jer. 17:9).

         

2. "And the great dragon was cast out, that
           old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which DECEIVES THE WHOLE WORLD…"
    (Rev. 12:9).

         

3. "Because the carnal [natural] mind
           is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can
           be" (Rom. 8:7).

         

The inconsonant, incongruous, inconsistent teachings
    of Christendom are bewildering. All my life I have heard that God hates SIN, not the
    SINNER. Why then, according to Christendom, doesn’t God save the sinner and abolish
    the sin? Wasn’t that the purpose of God in the first place? "Behold the Lamb of
    God, which takes [Greek: ‘is taking’] away the SIN OF THE WORLD" (John
    1:29). "And He is the propitiation [to be favorably inclined to the sinner because of
    the sacrifice for him -- merciful] for OUR sins: and not for ours only, but also THE SINS
    OF THE WHOLE WORLD" (I John 2:2). As Christ died for the sake of all sinners and paid
    the penalty for all the sins of the whole world, why does Christendom teach that these
    same sinners for which Christ died, must still be tortured for eternity?

Now don’t all e-mail me at once, telling me
    that they go to hell in a hand basket because they DID NOT REPENT OF THEIR
    SINS for which Christ died. It is concluded by modern religious theory that most of
    humanity have DIED IN THEIR SINS, neither having repented nor accepted Christ as their
    Lord and Saviour. And this is their simple (albeit totally unscriptural) answer as to why
    most of the human race will be tortured in a hellhole of fire for all eternity! For they
    know not the Scriptures, nor the Plan of God, nor the Wisdom of God, nor the Power of God,
    nor the Sensibility of God, nor the LOVE OF GOD.

I know that many people think I am too hard on
    Christian heresy. That’s because I love them. Would you not show a little
    "hard" tough love to your children if they were taking mind-destroying DRUGS?
    Well it is my opinion that Christian heresies are mind-destroying drugs as well. This
    ministry is a love/hate ministry — love for all God’s creatures and hate for all the
    spiritual mind-destroying heretical drugs out there on the streets and on the air waves
    around the world.

Trust me when I say: When one learns the Truth about
    our All Wise, All Powerful, All Loving God, the unscriptural theories regarding an eternal
    hellhole of eternal torture will vanish like the dew in the morning Sun. I believe there
    will be some who will already come to know the truth about the lake of fire-second death
    long before we ever get to chapters 20 and 21 of Revelation. Before we get there I want to
    teach you a few things about God and His love for humanity.

NEVER FORGET THE ‘LORD’S PRAYER’

I am now going to give you a Scripture to ponder
    while you read the remaining installments of this paper. A Scripture that most clergymen
    avoid like the plague. A Scripture that even if they quote it, they will not explain it.
    A Scripture that debunks the heresy that a sin against an infinite God demands infinite
    punishment. A Scripture that should shut the mouths of all those who continually condemn
    me for ever suggesting that God will eventually save all sinners, even the Hitlers and
    Bundys of the world. A Scripture that proves God loves sinners even while they are yet
    sinners. A Scripture that proves one doesn’t have to prove himself "worthy"
    of God’s love before God gives His love. A Scripture that proves God knows in advance
    that He will save the very worst of sinners and indeed ALL sinners long before they ever
    even think of repenting.

First we have to find the world’s
    worst sinners — no, even worse than you. Check these out:

    Now then, are you ready for the Scripture? Are these cruel murderers of the very Son of
    God evil enough to be counted the worst of the worst sinners who have ever drawn breath?
    Even more evil than Ted Bundy?

First, does anyone doubt that God the Father ALWAYS
    heard Christ’s prayers? "Father, I thank thee that Thou HAST HEARD me. And I
    knew that thou HEAREST ME ALWAYS..." (John 11:41-42). Okay then,
    here’s the Scripture:

      

"And when they were come to the place which
      is called Calvary, there they [everyone -- you, me, the WHOLE WORLD] CRUCIFIED
      HIM…"

   

But before our Saviour died, He prayed this prayer:

      

"FATHER … FORGIVE THEM
      … for they know not what they do" (Luke 23:33-34).

   

Meditate on that verse for a few hours — or years!
    My prayer is that not one person reading this paper will ever forget this verse and
    Christ’s prayer for the forgiveness of the world’s worst of the worst sinners, before
    any of them even thought to repent.

Now if any of you, in your holier-than-thou
    self-righteousness, feel that you had no part in the death of your own Saviour, Who died
    for you and your sins, you will still have to contend with the fact that God honored
    Christ’s prayer by forgiving those who did, literally, crucify Him, before they ever
    repented or accepted Him as their Lord and Saviour. Do you think that just maybe our Lord
    knows something about the future judgment of these, as of yet unrepentant murderers, that
    is not taught in Christendom today?

"FORGIVE THEM, for they know not what they
    do." Was this just a benevolent gesture on Christ’s part that has no real
    meaning? Do we believe that Jesus’ God and Father turned His back on this prayer?
    Will God answer "THE LORD’S PRAYER?" Don’t the theological giants of
    Christendom have Scriptures written in figurative, metaphorical, and spiritual symbolism,
    that if ignorantly taught to be literal, will contradict our Lord’s prayer? If it is
    not possible for God to forgive sinners before they repent, then our Lord’s prayer is
    doomed. It was then a prayer in vain. Jesus prayed in vain. His Father never heard Him.
    Doesn’t it just grind on your spirit to even hear such stupid and unscriptural
    conjectures?

Millions of times a week people around the world
    repeat what they believe to be "The Lord’s Prayer" (Mat. 6:10-13). Matt. 6
    is not the "Lord’s prayer." He didn’t "pray" that prayer. It
    was a very short outline of what we are to pray for. But this verse in Luke 23:34,
    really is, "The Lord’s Prayer!" Jesus really DID … PRAY … THIS …
    PRAYER! Unlike the hypocritical Pharisees, Jesus did not make a habit of praying in
    public. He commanded us to pray in the private closet of our hearts. Other than blessing
    the bread when feeding the multitudes, Christ seldom prayed in public. But hanging in
    total agony on that Passover cross, He prayed in public. He prayed for the whole world to
    hear. And that is because His prayer was not for Himself, but for the whole world!

I will make a wager right here and now that the
    figurative symbols and metaphors in Revelation are obviously not to be taken literally,
    but that our Lord’s Prayer in Luke 23:34 IS to be taken literally. Do I have any
    takers?

"Forgive THEM…" There is no
    mistaking who the "them" are in this prayer.

World famous preacher John Hagee teaches the world
    that the Jews did not crucify Jesus, but rather the Romans did. Is that who the
    "them" is in our Lord’s Prayer? The ROMANS? Give me a break. Maybe
    that’s why Christians everywhere believe that had they been in Jerusalem on that
    fateful Passover nearly two thousand years ago, they would have never consented to the
    crucifixion of Jesus Christ! Peter too thought that he would never deny his Lord (Mat.
    26:34).

Since Christendom refuses to do it, I will now show
    you the real meaning of The Lord’s Prayer.

WHO IS ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE CRUCIFIXION OF JESUS?

True, the Romans did crucify Christ, but so did the
    Jews, so did you, so did I, and so did John Hagee as well, and I will now Scripturally
    prove it.

      

"For he is NOT a Jew, which is one
      outwardly, neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh. But he is a Jew,
      which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit
      and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God" (Rom. 2:28-29).

      

"For WE ARE THE CIRCUMCISION, which worship
      God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the
      flesh" (Phil. 3:3).

   

Who are the true circumcision which then becomes the
    True Jew? Paul says "we." As soon as we know who the "we"
    is,  we
    will also know who is the "them." Paul was writing to the Phillipians, who
    lived in Phillipi, a Gentile city in N-central Macedonia. So these Phillipian converts were
    both Gentiles, and true Jews ("we [Phillipian Gentiles] are the circumcision — Phil.
    3:3, which are the true inward Jew — Rom. 2:28-29, the true "Israel of God" –
    Gal. 6:16).

Now then, let us see the plain Scriptural truth as
    to who the "them" are that Jesus asked His Father to "forgive." For
    whomever the Father "forgives" will certainly not be tortured in an
    eternal hellhole of fire.

In Acts 3:6-8 Peter asks Christ to heal a man. The
    whole city was privy to this miracle. Peter speaks to the crowd:

      

"Ye MEN OF ISRAEL [that’s us, WE
      are the "Israel of God" the "True Jew"] … Jesus, Whom ye [that’s
      US] delivered up, and DENIED [along with Peter] Him … For ye [that’s
      US again] DENIED the Holy One and Just, and desired a murderer to be granted unto you;
      and KILLED the Prince of life … And now, brethren, I am aware that through IGNORANCE [‘for
      they know NOT what they do’] ye did it, as did your rulers … The priests, and
      the captain of the temple, and the Sadducees … Annas the high priest, and Ciaphas, and
      John, and Alexander … Ye RULERS of the people, and ELDERS of Israel … Be it known unto
      YOU ALL, and to ALL THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth,
      whom YE CRUCIFIED…"

   

Why did the HEATHEN rage, and the PEOPLE imagine
    vain things? The KINGS OF THE EARTH stood up, and the RULERS [see I Cor. 2:8] were
    gathered together AGAINST the Lord, and AGAINST His Christ …

      

"For of a truth AGAINST thy holy child
      Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, WITH THE GENTILES
      [that’s US, ALL NATIONS] and the PEOPLE OF ISRAEL [that’s also US],
      were gathered together, For to do whatsoever Thy hand and Thy counsel determined before to
      be done [CRUCIFY HIM]" (Acts 3:12-4:28).

   

Sorry, but John Hagee’s "Romans only"
    theory has just bit the dust. So again: Who crucified our Lord and Saviour? And who is it
    that are to be forgiven because they know not what they do? "YOU ALL,"
    "ALL THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL," "THE HEATHEN," "THE PEOPLE,"
    "THE KINGS OF THE EARTH," "THE RULERS," and "HEROD, PONTIUS
    PILATE, WITH THE GENTILES!!! Do you still think your name is left out of this list
    somehow?

The whole world is accountable for crucifying their
    Saviour Jesus Christ. But as it was done in "ignorance" (for they know not what
    they do), the whole world will be forgiven. So what do these things have to do with the
    lake of fire? Everything! I am trying to show you the mind of God. This is the way God
    thinks, and feels, and forgives, and LOVES! Since you haven’t learned these things in
    Sunday School, or Wednesday night Bible Study, or Sunday sermons, or even theological
    seminary, I am showing you them now. Weigh God’s Words very carefully.

The worst sin ever committed by the worst sinners in
    the history of the universe, was the cruel beating and crucifixion of Jesus Christ — the
    Perfect Man and Son of God! Does anyone really believe that Ted Bundy’s crimes were
    worse than Crucifying the Son of God? Did the men immediately responsible (ultimately
    I’ve shown that we ALL were responsible) for His crucifixion show any remorse or
    repentance except Judas? Yet, Jesus Christ asked God to "forgive them" at
    the very time that they showed no remorse whatsoever.

Will the Father HEAR these words and ANSWER these
    words of Christ’s prayer? Are these just the sentimental words of Jesus that will not
    be heard or answered by a HARSH God in Heaven? Just Whose "words" are
    these, anyway? Where did these words of Jesus "forgive them" really come from?

      

"Believest thou not that I am in the Father,
      and the FATHER IN ME? The WORDS that I speak unto you I speak NOT OF MYSELF;
      but the Father that dwells in Me, HE DOES THE WORKS" (John
      14:10).

   

Or was this doctrine of "forgive them for they
    know not what they do" before they ever repent, a doctrine of Christ that God did not
    approve of?

      

"Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine
      is NOT MINE, but HIS THAT SENT ME. If any man will do His will, he shall know of the
      doctrine, whether it be of GOD, or whether I speak of myself " (John 7:16-17).

   

Any questions as to WHOSE words these were? It
    is not only our Lord’s prayer, but it is the will of God the Father to forgive them
    all (US all) for none of them "knows what they do."

My detractors cry out, "They do TOO know what
    they do; they have REJECTED their Saviour; they deserve to BURN IN THE LAKE OF FIRE FOR EVER"!
    But you see, God is not like men who DELIGHT in the eternal death and torture of the
    wicked.

      

"As I live, saith the Lord God, I have NO
      pleasure in the death [including the second death] of the wicked; but that the
      wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for
      why will
      you die, O house of Israel?" (Ezek. 33:11).

   

Killing people for their sins is NOT PLEASURABLE FOR
    GOD! But it is needful — for a season.

      

"To everything there is a season, and a
      time to every purpose under heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die … a time
      to kill, and a time to heal…" (Ecc. 3:1-3).

   

God does not delight or take pleasure in the death
    of the wicked, but that he TURN from his way and LIVE! But neither Israel (nor the Gentiles) knows
    how to "turn" from their ways. It takes the "goodness of God" to
    "turn" people. I know that all the billions of "free-willers" in the
    world poke fun at such an idea that man of themselves can do nothing: "…for
    without Me ye can do NOTHING" (John 15;5). But as for me, I don’t believe
    men anymore; I believe God. "Turn, turn, turn" says the Lord God. But how shall
    Israel "turn" when they have no such power or ability? Will Israel (all Israel)
    ever "turn" and be saved and LIVE? Not by anything they can conjure up in their
    phantom of free will. Enter GOD:

      

"For I would not, brethren, that ye should
      be ignorant [but the WORLD is ignorant and deceived -- God created a special
      creature to accomplish this very purpose, Rev. 12:9] of this mystery, lest ye should be
      wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until [remember
      there are ‘seasons’?] The fullness of the Gentiles be come in. And so ALL
      ISRAEL SHALL BE SAVED [how so, I thought they have to ‘turn’ from their
      wickedness and sins, Who will ‘turn’ them?] As it is written, There
      shall come out of Zion The Deliverer, and shall TURN AWAY UNGODLINESS [’evil
      ways’ Ezek. 33:11] from Jacob [that’s Israel]: For this is my covenant
      unto them, when I shall TAKE AWAY THEIR SINS (Rom 11:25-27) [it will be pretty hard to torture
      people for all eternity for sins that they NO LONGER HAVE!!!] 

   

Am I going too fast for anyone? This is not rocket
    science. These Scriptures are easy!

Who is it that "turns away" ungodliness
    from Israel? Must sinners really, by themselves, by their phantom "free -will,"
    by their own power, by their own choice, by the goodness that lies within them (I speak as
    a fool), by their self-concocted love of God — "turn away from ungodliness"?
    Get serious. What is the only thing in the universe that can ever bring a person to repentance?
    I’ll tell you, if you promise to never ever forget it!

      

"Or are you despising the riches of His goodness
      and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing [here’s that ignorance thing again
      -- Satan who DECEIVES the whole world] that the GOODNESS OF GOD leads you
      to REPENTANCE" (Rom. 2:4).

   

Once again we are brought back to the CAUSE OF ALL
    — GOD! 

And so, it is the "Deliverer" (Christ the
    Lord), not man’s ‘free’ will, which "turns away ungodliness" from
    Israel. Let’s continue the thought:

      

"As concerning the gospel, they [Israel]
      are enemies for your sakes [the ‘casting away’ of Israel, Ver. 15]: but
      as touching the election [the sure thing that God had predetermined long before there
      ever was an Israel] they are BELOVED for the Father’s sake. For the GIFTS and CALLING OF
      GOD are without repentance [changing]" (Vers. 28-29).

   

"Forgive them" are the very words and the
    doctrine of GOD THE FATHER! So the truth is we have Jesus Christ and God the Father BOTH
    agreed that "FORGIVE THEM, for they know not what they do" WILL BE
    ANSWERED, ACCOMPLISHED, AND DONE ! God’s words went out of God’s mouth
    in this prayer for the whole sinful world to hear, and God’s words do not return to
    Him VOID (see Isaiah 55:11)!

Are you believing all these Scriptures that I am
    giving you? Or are you one of those who thinks he has other Scriptures that contradict all
    these Scriptures I am giving? My whole purpose is to point you to God’s Words. When I
    come to a Scripture that is not properly translated, I will point that out also. So far, I
    believe, all of the Scriptures I have presented speak for themselves.

And it is self-evident that these Scriptures
    contradict a plethora of doctrines being taught by the high priests of Christendom.

Will God somehow change his mind toward this world
    of sinners which crucified His Son when they are raised at the great white throne to be
    judged? Forget all the Scriptures for the moment that some of you just
    "know" contradict
    this prayer. Concentrate on this prayer, and we will go to the thers later. Right here IS
    the mind of God. Right here IS the attitude of forgiveness and love that God has for
    sinners — the world’s worst sinners! Why does most of the world of Christendom
    refuse to believe our ‘LORD’S PRAYER’ which really has its origin in the will of the
    Father? Because it is TOO GOOD! Many will not tolerate a God THIS GOOD!

Is God fickle? Is God all-forgiving one day at the
    cross, but then CHANGES into an unforgiving Indian-Giver at the white throne judgment by
    taking it all back? 

 

"I am the LORD, I CHANGE NOT;
      therefore ye sons of Jacob [Israel] are NOT CONSUMED"
      (Malachi 3:6).

   

      

"But He [God] is in ONE MIND, and who
      can TURN HIM? And what His soul desires [I Tim. 2:4 & Isa. 46:9-11], EVEN THAT [whatever
      He wills or desires] HE DOES" (Job 23:13).

   

      

"Jesus Christ is the SAME yesterday, and today, and for ever [Greek: ‘for (into) the eons also’]" (Heb.
      13:8).

   

No, God is not fickle: forgiving today; cursing
    tomorrow. Forgiving the worst sinners in the whole while they are yet sinning is the mind,
    attitude, and love of God! Any theologian who tries to tell you that there are Scriptures
    that contradict this Scripture (whether it be a Scripture on the lake of fire or any other
    Scripture), is a liar and a deceiver. "Forgive them [even the theologians who
    deny the Christ Who died for them] for they know not what they do."

And so our Lord’s Prayer WILL … BE … DONE!
    Thank God!

A FEW THOUGHTS REGARDING CHRISTENDOM

Understand that when I use the word
    "Christendom" I am making reference to Webster’s second definition,
    "The world of Christianity." World in the Greek New Testament is kosmos
    meaning the system or orderly arrangement of the whole or some part of human society. And
    so it is this world or system of doctrines and beliefs promulgated by the clergy and
    theologians of the institutionalized church that I make reference to when using this term.
    I am not making specific reference to individual members of the "Christian"
    church who may or may not hold dear to their hearts all of the doctrines of mainstream
    Christendom. It is sadly true that many who profess Christianity do not know or understand
    the doctrines of those they follow.

So let it be known that Christendom is made up of
    dozens of millions of wonderful, sweet, loving and kind people. Many if not most of our
    neighbors, friends, relatives, and immediate family members are professing Christians. And
    we love them all! God loves them all! Sadly, however, much of their doctrine and religious
    beliefs have no basis whatsoever in the Sacred Scriptures. At times I fear that some might
    mistake my total aversion toward unscriptural Christian doctrines as a sign of my feelings
    toward those who promulgate these teachings. Nothing could be further from the truth. If
    you could look down into my heart, you would know that I harbor no ill toward any
    brother or sister. All will be in God’s Family; All will be purged, purified, and
    perfected, so why have any animosity toward any during this process? We must ALL be
    processed — "there is NONE that does good [before God processes him], no, not
    ONE" (Rom. 3:12).

Much of Christendom is a religious system of beliefs
    that are both unscriptural and contradictory — at times even evil. Often when I quote a
    Scripture (even without commentary), people will say to themselves, "Well that
    can’t be. OUR church teaches something totally different." And so they will
    reject the words of God and continue to cling to the traditions of men. For that reason,
    let me give you just a few examples of the unscriptural contradictions of traditional
    Christendom in the hope that God will open the minds of at least some of my readers. Trust
    me when I say that all this information is going to be most helpful in understanding the
    lake of fire and the judgments of God.

THEY SPEAK WITH FORKED TONGUE

Most all Christian theologians would claim to
    believe the first statement of Scriptural Truth that I present below, especially when I
    cite a Scripture verse with it, but they will then contradict and refuse to
    teach the second statement of Truth. Here are a few examples:

• Do they believe the fire in I Cor.3:15 burns
          mans’ works, but not the man himself? Yes.
         
          But do they teach that this same fire in Rev.20:15 also burns works, not the man?
          No.

        

• Do they believe that God is the Creator of ALL?
          Yes.
         
          But do they teach that God created EVIL as He says in (Isa. 45:7)? No.

        

• Do they believe that God is absolutely and totally
          sovereign (Eph. 1:11)? Yes.
         
          But do they teach that God exercises sovereignty over man’s supposed "free"
          will? No.

• Do they believe that presently Christ only
          has immortality (I Tim. 6:16)? Yes.
         
          But do they teach the truth therefore that men’s souls are mortal and not immortal?
          No.

        

• Do they believe that the original manuscripts of
          God’s Word were inerrant? Yes.
         
          But do they teach us that the King James translation, which they say is
          "inerrant" has gone through THOUSANDS of error corrections since 1611? No.

        

• Do they believe that the soul that sins shall DIE
          (Ezek. 18:4)? Yes.
         
          But do they teach that souls of deceased sinners are actually DEAD? No.

        

• Do they believe there are many cults today that
          need exposing? Yes.
         
          But do they teach that Christendom, by its OWN definitions, is also a cult? No.

        

• Do they believe that Sodom is "suffering the
          vengeance of eternal [aeonian] fire? Yes.
         
          But do they teach that Sodom will be restored to their former estate (Ezek. 16:55)? No.

        

• Do they believe in a future resurrection of dead
          people back to life (John 5:29)? Yes.
         
          But do they teach that a resurrection is imperative for dead people to live again? No.

        

• Do they believe the first half of I Cor. 15:22
          that "For as in Adam ALL die?" Yes.
         
          But do they teach the last half, "even so in Christ shall ALL be made
          alive?" No.

        

• Do they believe that "…the end of
          the world [Gk: aion -- age]" ends in Mat. 24:3? Yes.
         
          But do they teach that this same "aion — age" in Matt. 25:41 & 46
          will also end. No.

        

• Do they believe that Jn 3:13 & Acts 2:34 are
          truthful Scripture (II Tim. 3:16)? Yes.
         
          But do they teach this truth that "NO man," including David, has gone to heaven?
          No.

        

• Do they believe ALL God purposed, spoke, and
          willed (Isa. 46:10-11), He will do? Yes.
         
          But do they teach that God’s "will" to save all, I Tim. 2:4, etc., will be
          done? No.

        

• Do they believe that Satan lied when he told Eve,
          "thou shalt not surely die?" Yes.
         
          But do they teach the truth that sinners really do DIE at death as God has stated? No.

        

• Do they believe that the Apocryphal books do not
          belong in the Bible? Yes.
         
          But do they teach us that the 1611 so-called "inerrant" King James Bible
          contained fourteen such books, including "Tobit," "Judith,"
          "The idol Bel and the Dragon"? No.

        

• Do they believe that Christ is totally
          responsibility for our salvation? Yes.
         
          But do they teach that "no man can" come to Christ of himself (John 6:44)? No.

        

• Do they believe that Satan is the greatest sinner
          of all? Yes.
         
          But do they teach Jn. 8:44 which states that Satan "sinned from the beginning?"
          No.

        

• Do they believe Christ really died for the sins of
          the world? Yes.
         
          But do they teach that Jesus Christ was dead when they placed Him in the tomb? No.

        

• Do they believe the many Scriptures that liken
          death to "sleep?" Yes.
         
          But do they teach that dead people are unconscious, "sleeping" till
          resurrection? No.

        

• Do they believe that the last enemy to be
          destroyed [Gk: abolished] is death? Yes.
         
          But do they teach that ALL death, including the second death, will be abolished?
          No.

        

• Do they believe that all things are possible with
          God (Mark 10:27)? Yes.
         
          But do they teach that it is possible for God to save nonbelievers after they die? No.

        

• Do they believe that every tongue in heaven and
          earth will confess Jesus as LORD? Yes.
         
          But do they teach that the Holy Spirit inspires this sincere voluntary act (I Cor. 12:3)?
          No.

        

• Do they believe that good and evil are both in the
          same tree of knowledge? Yes
         
          But do they teach that good and evil both come from the same root source? No.

        

• Do they believe that God absolutely "knows
          all" (I John 3:20)? Yes.
         
          But do they teach that God knows in advance ALL who will reject Christ? No.

        

• Do they believe that God’s love will never
          fail (I Cor. 13:8)? Yes.
         
          But do they teach that God’s love will never fail in saving the world He loves? No.

        

• Do they believe the apostles spoke in foreign
          languages in Acts 2:4-11? Yes.
         
          But do they teach that of the hundreds of thousands who claim to speak in tongues today,
          not one of them can speak in multiple languages which they did not already study? No.

        

• Do they believe that the masses did not understand
          Christ’s parables (Mat. 13:13)? Yes.
         
          But do they teach that Christ purposely didn’t want them to understand, (Vs. 14-17)?
          No.

          Commandments (Deut.4:12)? Yes.
         
          But do they teach a New Covenant which contains a much higher law (Heb. 8:8-9)? No.

        

• Do they believe that God created all the spirits
          and messengers of heaven? Yes.
         
          But do they teach that God also created Satan who was always His adversary? No.

          doing good and not evil to them? Yes.
         
          But do they teach that God will never subject His enemies to eternal torture and evil? No.

        

There seems to be no end to the Scriptural
    contradictions of Christian beliefs. But we can learn from their mistakes. It is good for
    us that God makes us dig deep for the precious gems of His word. It really is like
    searching for hidden treasure. And I have never found a hidden treasure in God’s Word
    that has disappointed me. Each new discovery brings more appreciation for God and His plan
    of salvation for all.
