ME (Millennial Exclusion) Posts

The judgment seat of Christ is not the 'Grecian games'. But if you treat the jsoc as a game, then your Christian walk will be a game.

 

Apparently you are taking the JSoC for what it is not. I believe we will be judged for works but will not be cast out. Scripture is consistent with what I preach and teach here.

 

Fine, just explain what the reward is for works like these:

Galatians 5:19-21
19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

 

And when He comes and already has our reward, good or bad, what makes you think it will be like some kind of judgement hall. He will either say Come or He will say Depart. He already knows who did what and the names are already enrolled in the Lamb's book of life when He leaves Heaven coming to get the church and pass judgement on the world. We are being judged every day of our lives.

 

I have pastored Baptist churches,
I now start Baptist Churches on the Mission Field,
And I will continue to.

 

And did you lead them astray also as you are trying to do here with this Mercy Eliminated gospel you teach?

Or did they wise up and send you on your way?

 

Actually, I do think we can use the ancient Olympic games as a type, since the Bible uses it.

Guess what happened to those who were found to have broken the rules?

They were cast out. They were forced to leave in shame. Some were fined. I found one instance in which a person was whipped, so severe was his offense.

But, the most important thing is that not everyone received a crown.

But they're all citizens.

 

I had one that I departed (but would have been asked to depart if I had not). They were a lot like you. The elder said, "I don't care what the Bible says, I don't believe that." You would have liked them.

 

Your accusation of my not caring what the Bible says is far from the truth.

Of course, with all of the false doctrines I have seen from the Mercy Eliminated crowd, I have come to expect as much.

 

This explains much more than you think it does. For instance it explains your "cultish" adherence to what many believe to be full of error. Namely, ultra dispensationalism. I call it 'pen knife theology'.

Just because Larkin taught it does not make it right. It just means that you have found something which makes you comfortable in your Christianity. Yet we find your hero Paul teaching this:

2 Timothy 3:12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.

Nothing comfortable there my friend. Your BIGGEST complaint against this doctrine is that it makes you UNcomfortable. And it goes against the "soothing words" you have been accustomed to hearing, yet, we find Jesus knocking the comfort zone right out from under they who were religious and had a zeal for God yet not according to knowledge.

You, sir, and your friends here, fit just such a description. You are COMFORTABLE and the idea of Accountability and the real threat of losing your POSITION in the coming Kingdom of Christ gets under your skin.

ALL that will live Godly in Christ Jesus SHALL suffer persecution.

When was the last time you were called a heretic for what you believe Scripture to teach?

You folks screaming "HERETIC" and stopping up your ears ought to look long and hard into the mirror of history and Scripture for there you will find the Catholics and the Jews doing the SAME thing to Christians for centuries as that YOU are doing here on this board.

Good night. Sweet dreams, and May God open your eyes.

 

Man that is laughable. You equate someone you don't even know personally on an internet site referring to your doctrine as heretical as being persecuted.

Unbelievable!

And then to talk about comfort zones! Hah!

Sorry you have had to suffer such great persecution on the BB!

 

I must point out a false assumption you have concerning #2 above, my friend.

NONE of the cults are "based"on the KJV. They are ALL "based" upon false doctrines. The KJV contains NO false doctrines. It is utter error and even nigh unto evil to lay the source for those cults at the feet of God's Holy Words. It is NOT the fault of the KJV that these cults arose as you imply.

I realize that you also said 'false doctrines' and had you stopped there you would have been correct, but you also included cults and it is the use of that word about which I must correct you. You DO know that many cults are not even remotely linked to the Bible, right?

Just a friendly correction.

BTW: Evolution arose before the modern versions appeared also and has produced a somewhat cultic following. Would you lay the blame for THAT evil at the feet of the KJV also?

 

jim,

Your accusations of me being cultish are far from the truth. Your many false doctrines prove who it is that is cultish.

 

So are you a Jew or a Catholic?

 

Paul's writings that all who will live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecutions is speaking of this side of the Rapture, not the other side.

Go back and study the Word instead of Joey Faust and other False Prophets.

And by the way... God has opened my eyes. May He find mercy and open yours.

 

The limits of an analogy must be determined and applied by the Scriptural writers to be accepted, or we will find ourselves guilty of the analogy fallacy.

 

First and foremost I am a Christian.
Denominationally I am a BAPTIST!
Baptist Board, BAPTIST, Get it. :sleeping_2:

 

Nah, I say we go with the whole analogy and spend the rest of our lives in Christian service naked. It was how they competed in the olympics, after all. And if I do it, it's sure to scare off all the ME folks and everyone else, too.

 

In answer to the title question of this thread...

Because the Mercy Eliminated crowd says so?

Actually, I know their accusations of Christians spending 1,000 years in outer darkness or hell is a lie, so forget the question I asked in this post.

 

1. Before you took off into you remarks, you should have asked me what I mean by "based on."

2. If you read the rest of what I had to say about the KJV, you will not accuse me of ascribing erroneous teachings to the KJV.

3. All I'm simply saying is this, the KJV is the bible that they had in their hands. While using that bible, they came to their conclusions.

4. It was their mishandling of the KJV bible.

5. Do a search if you desire on my comments on the KJV and you will find that I have nothing hateful to say about the KJV. All I'm saying is that it must be viewed in its proper historical context.
