THE DEATH OF CHRIST

The bible teaches death of Christ is a provision with a moral substitutionary intent that we would be made sinfree by having the mind of Christ. The bible does not teach penal substitution - His death in our place. That is a pagan philosophy. Think of one scripture pertaining to Christ's death and evaluate the word "for" as pertains to Christ died "for" our sins. the word used in the greek is "huper" not "anti". huper means provision, while anti means substitute. See also text showing the death of Christ is for a gospel saving knowledge as a provision with a moral influencing intent -Isaiah 53:3-11 especially verse 11 link verse 5 with 1 Peter 2:24 and then read the context in verses 21-24. Isaiah tells us by his knowledge he shall justify many in verse 11 while 1 Peter 2:24 tells" he bore our sins in his body that we being dead to sins should live unto righteousness". Verse 21 tells us he suffered for us leaving us an example. 1 Peter 4:1,2 tells us when we arm ourselves with the mind of Christ that he had when he suffered on the cross we shall cease from sin. Colossians 1:21-24 tells us the death of Christ reconciled us from being enemies in our mind by wicked works, that he may present us holy, and unblameable an unreproveable in his sight. Phil.2:5-8 tells us let this mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus ... humbled himself and was obedient even the death of the cross. " Matt 10:38 tells us he that does not taketh up his cross and follow Him is not worthy of Him. Matt.16:24 tells us if any man will come after Him, let him deny himself, and take up his cross and follow him.

Disproving the So-called Forensic Gospel

Disproving the So-called Forensic Gospel INTRODUCTION 1. The Bible tells us that any false gospel is a thing cursed by God. Galatians 1:6-9. 2. The false gospel makes us say Lord, Lord, but do not His Will, such people are lost.  Matthew 7:21-23. 3. The false gospel is described as untempered mortar that cannot help. Ezekiel 13:9-16. 4. It also tells a person peace, peace, (which is given by Justification) when there is no peace.  Romans 5:1; Jeremiah 8:10, 11. 5. However, the real Gospel is described as the power or science of God unto salvation  because it makes the believer, live by Faith. Romans 1:16, 17. 6. The Bible clearly explains that the Gospel of God’s Grace teaches denying ungodliness, it  teaches living righteously, it teaches that the purpose of the sacrifice of Christ was to  redeem us from all iniquities, (not in them), and to purify a people who are preoccupied  with performing good works. This is what ...

WHAT OUR INQUIRY ABOUT OURSELVES SHOULD BE?

WHAT OUR INQUIRY ABOUT OURSELVES  SHOULD BE? We are in the very last days, we are told that the last controversy will be very short. “We are standing on the threshold of great and solemn events. Prophecies are fulfilling. The last great conflict will be short, but terrible. Old controversies will be revived. New controversies will arise. We have a great work to do. Our ministerial work must not cease. The last warning must be given to the world. There is a special power in the presentation of the truth at the present time. How long will it last? Only a little while.” Ellen G. White, Selected Messages bk. 3, pg. 419. And in view of the lateness of time, what should be the inquiry of everyone? We are told: “The inquiry of everyone should be ‘whose am I? To whom do I owe allegiance? Is my heart renewed? Is my soul reformed? Are my sins forgiven? Will they be blotted out when the time of refreshing shall come?” Ibid, pg. 419. We must needs examine ourselves to see if we...
