1 | Did Jesus go to hell after dying? | Ephesians | Reformer Joe | 26497 | ||
Thomas: Getting to heaven is pretty simple? "Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it. For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it." --Mathhew 7:13-14 What Satan really loves is Christians who say that discussion about doctrine and false teaching are just "splitting hairs." It makes his job so much easier! Let's see what hair-splitting we can find in the New Testament. "Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. Many will say to Me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?' And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.'" --Matthew 7:21-23 "See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, according to the tradition of men, according to the elementary principles of the world, rather than according to Christ." --Colossians 2:8 "As I urged you upon my departure for Macedonia, remain on at Ephesus so that you may instruct certain men not to teach strange doctrines" --1 Timothy 1:3 "Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth." 2 Timothy 2:15 "I solemnly charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by His appearing and His kingdom: preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great patience and instruction. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires, and will turn away their ears from the truth and will turn aside to myths." --2 Timothy 2:1-4 "But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will also be false teachers among you, who will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing swift destruction upon themselves." --2 Peter 2:1 "holding fast the faithful word which is in accordance with the teaching, so that he will be able both to exhort in sound doctrine and to refute those who contradict." --Titus 1:9 "For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the antichrist. Watch yourselves, that you do not lose what we have accomplished, but that you may receive a full reward." --2 John 7-8 "Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world." --1 John 4:1 Discernment is not "chasing after the wind." We are called to love the truth, to obey the truth, and to love our God with all our minds. Salvation is easy to miss because Satan is always at work manufacturing alternatives. It is a shame that so many self-proclaimed Christians don't want to do the hard word of holding fast to the truth. --Joe! |

2 | Did Jesus go to hell after dying? | Ephesians | ThomasTheNonDoubter | 26544 | ||
Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. Many will say to Me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?' And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.'" I need to clarify - I agree with you on the fact that we should discuss good doctrine, but not argue about it and not focus on it to the point of missing the simplicity of Jesus' plan for salvation. If you have your foundation locked it, you can chew on some good meat. To comment on your scripture, I found a site yesterday what behind the "depart from me, I never knew you" Satan, in the last days will create the one world church with the banner Jesus, Jesus, Jesus. but Jesus that Satan proclaims will not be the real Jesus. He will be protraid as merely a man that was a teacher, prophet and nothing more so that people who don't want to bow to anyone other than themselves will gravitate to this church. So when they say didn't we do this that and the other in your name, they didn't know that the Jesus they were refering to wasn't the Jesus that is Gods' only begotten Son. The site is www.Aaronsbiblestudies.com And I don't think I ever said discernment is chasing after the wind. I pray that all real seekers of the real God are provided wisdom and discernment to divide the truth from Satans' deceit. There you go, Satans aternatives are what I was getting at as the definition of Chasing after the Wind. Glad to see we'er on the same sheet of music. Keep up the good work brother and may God in Jesus' name bless you indeed and enlarge your territories and deliver you from evil that you may not cause pain. |

Thomas, There are already people who think they are going to heaven because they did good works -- I've talked with them. I think this has been true for almost 2000 years ... we don't have to wait for the last days. S Answer my 12/11/01, 4:14pm post. |

Works won't do anything for man. If works could get man into heaven, then Satan himself could fake good works and when Satan got back into heaven, he'd thump God in the chest and say something like "shut your face God, I worked my way back up here" The last thing God needs in heaven is that redneck again. | ||||||
