UNDER THE LAW OF CHRIST [FRIDAY FIRE 96]

by 6 Comments

What we Christians (meaning ‘little Christ’s’) hear these days pounded into our heads is that we are “not under the Law.” But what does that mean since we are also “under the law of Christ?”

The eternal Word, Christ, has proclaimed to the Corinthians, a city assembly combination of super carnality and saints on fire, this fact through the apostle Paul:

1 Corinthians 9:19-21   For though I am free from all men, I have made myself a slave to all, so that I may win more. To the Jews I became as a Jew, so that I might win Jews; to those who are under the Law, as under the Law though not being myself under the Law, so that I might win those who are under the Law; to those who are without law, as without law, though not being without the law of God but under the law of Christ, so that I might win those who are without law.

First, we see Paul as the [Read more…]

THESE WILL GO AWAY INTO ETERNAL PUNISHMENT [FRIDAY FIRE 86]

by 6 Comments

These days we see many leaders writing and speaking about hell…and the lake of fire. There’s a growing list of good men who are saints of God who now proclaim that unbelievers are thrown into the lake of fire but then after some punishment, are annihilated. That is, burned up and extinguished. They quote many passages in the Old and New Testament that use terminology of this type.

So, from my watching their teaching, they seem to mean a temporary punishment, that is, punishment that lasts for a while. In some cases, they seem to mean a short while. In most cases, they never declare how temporary it might be in their opinion.

Few of us can imagine a loving God that would punish, that is, torment human beings forever and ever. But…God is not like us in many ways. We are created in His image we know, but still many of His attributes and their intensity are all together unlike us.

In Matthew 25 in the parable of the sheep and goats, people are separated based on their [Read more…]

WHAT IS HELL? – BY EDWARD DONNELLY [AT THE BATTLE FRONT 93]

by 2 Comments

Saints and those seeking the true God,

When this piece was sent to me, it took my breath away…it’s the best and most frightening piece I’ve read on this eternal  theme of God the Father. We owe brother Edward Donnelly of Belfast Ireland a great favor-debt-grace for this work. May it be read and promoted far and wide as a declaration of the part of God that most of us refuse to confront.

Our Master and Lord Jesus spoke quite a bit about hell during His earthly ministry. He also spoke afterwards, warning of it after His resurrection. We’d do well to pay attention.

In His church there are those who say there is no hell, those who say pagans are extinguished into nothingness, and those who firmly believe that hell is a real place with real souls, with eternal retribution.

We here are of the 3rd camp – hell and the lake of fire is very real with the holy Word of God declaring the awesomeness of God’s decree. This decree is that this will be a place that holds not only the evil rebellious created angels and their supreme leader, but also the vast bulk of all created human beings. Jesus told the unsaved religious leaders that they would receive the “greater condemnation.”

Why should this strike fear into the hearts of these evil religious leaders if they knew they would just be extinguished and cease to exist after death? Why would Jesus waste His breath teaching “greater condemnation” if all rebellious sinners are eventually no longer in any form of existence? The Scripture teaches plainly, in our opinion, a different truth.

At this time, there’re over 7,000,000,000 (billion) souls on planet Earth, all created by the Lord Jesus Christ for His and His Father’s good pleasure. Most, His holy Word proclaims, are destined for eternal destruction…the place called hell.

What kind of a God would knowingly do that?

The real living and just holy God, our Master.
