Emails 04-19-09

(EMAIL from a KJV Onlyite) May God get your attention fast! 1 John 2:5 READ IT! I keep his word, do you, you stinking devil you. That’s right you are an apostate liar led by your father; the god of this world. You are like your father, out to destroy God’s childrens faith in His Words which is his authority. You need to repent and get right with God!

(RESPONSE) Greetings in Jesus’ name. There is nothing in 1 John 2:5 which supports KJV Onlyism or would condemn us. YES, we are fully committed to our precious Lord, Savior and King—Jesus of Nazareth who died for all of mankind and rose from the grave. Your question and various insults come as a result of us exposing just some of the many problems and errors in the KJV. WHY are you so blindly in love with a translation you can NOT even understand? How could you get so deceived? By exalting the KJV as you do, you are also hindering the children of God from understand God’s word. You are the one in the wrong! STOP it, repent, cast this KJV church tradition behind you and get a reputable translation you can understand.

[NOTE: The KJV Only Cult either questions one’s salvation or flatly believes he is unsaved on the basis of his rejection of the KJV! It’s hard to believe, but true.]

Remember once saved always saved is demonic. For more information go to www.EOMIN.org

God bless you.

(EMAIL from a Mormon) ...THE "curse" BE UPON THE Evangelical Outreach Internet Church as it lies against "The Church Of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints", especially as, by using the "World Wide Web" FOR TO FIND FAULT WITH THE FIRST TRUE PROPHET OF THE LORD, GOD OF ISRAEL-JESUS CHRIST, EVEN "THE PROPHET JOSEPH SMITH", IN THESE "LATTER-DAYS".

NOW THE "CURSE": "BY THE POWER AND AUTHORITY OF THE "HOLY PRIESTHOOD" THAT I, HAVE HELD, AS FROM BEFORE THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD, DO NOW, COMMAND THE ELEMENTS TO OBEY AND FOR THEM TO COMBINE AGAINST THOSE WHOM HAVE "PERSECUTED" "THE CHURCH AND KINGDOM OF GOD", ON EARTH, YEA, EVEN "THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS", INASMUCH THAT ANY AND ALL "PERSECUTERS OF THE SAINTS" AND "THEIR FAMILIES" SHALT BE "CURSED" UNTO "THE THIRD AND FOURTH GENERATIONS", FOR TO SUFFER THE WRATH OF GOD,... THERE ARE THOSE NOT WORTHY OF ANY GLORY, WHOM SHALL BE "THRUST DOWN INTO A "FIREY HELL" FOR "TO BURN FOREVER", "SCREEEAAAMING" THE PAINS OF HELL, WITH NO HOPE OF RELIEF, BECAUSE "THEY HAD "DENIED JESUS CHRIST" AND HIS "CHURCH AND KINGDOM", AND HIS COMPASSIONATE MERCIES". SO "AMEN UNTO THEIR "ETERNALLY LOST SOULS", FOR IT WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER FOR THEIR SOULS, FOR "TO NEVER HAD BEEN BORN" THAT TO HAVE SINNED SO GROSSLY, HUH? ...I SAY THESE THINGS IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST. AMEN.

(RESPONSE) Greetings in Jesus’ name. Your curse was a waste of time. We are Christians doing a loving and faithful service to God and mankind as we expose and refute various dangerous teachers, including the false prophet and heretic Joseph Smith, Jr. of the Mormon (LDS) church.

Rather than wish us dead and in hell’s fires, why don’t you verify the documentation and Biblical references we have cited. If you would then act on the truth you could get forgiven of your wickedness, including trying to curse God’s children and hinder his gospel from going forth. Your hate and ignorance are exposed through your email, but that all goes with the deceptions you dangerously embrace. Please ponder this carefully. Your SOUL is in the greatest danger. http://www.evangelicaloutreach.org/mormonm.htm

Like a fluttering sparrow or a darting swallow, an undeserved curse does not come to rest. (Prov 26:2)

God bless you.

(EMAIL) In no way to be antagonistic, i ask this question because I am truly misunderstanding what you are saying... How do you live with yourself? I know personally that I cannot avoid sin and that Satan is an eternity wiser in his efforts to deceive. My only solace comes from the fact that Christ overcame sin and death and will forgive my sins if I repent. I could not live with myself always hoping I catch all my mistakes before the Lord decides to end my time here on Earth. It leaves too much up to chance for me... He authored salvation and I am having a hard time understanding why He would leave a loophole...

(RESPONSE) Greetings in Jesus’ name. You ask how we live with ourselves. What a strange question. We have great peace and joy as we serve God and snatch souls from the fire. You are under the delusion that everyone must sin, which is not true. If you sin all the time then I must ask you: “Why don’t you resist the devil?” “Why don’t you crucify the flesh?” Why don’t you abstain from all appearances of evil?” You have been deceived by the grace changers into thinking you must sin all the time, but it doesn’t matter because Jesus overcame sin. In love I must say, “Wake up!” You are in a dream world. You have been taught a religious fairytale, which you have accepted as reality to your own spiritual harm. You accept sinning as part of the Christian life. Think! Paul, Peter, John, James and the rest knew Jesus overcame sin, yet warned believers that sin could bring them to their spiritual death. Please read this http://www.evangelicaloutreach.org/spiritualdeath.htm For your own sake, please accept the truth that a true Christian can lose his salvation. Remember: A Christian CAN live holy. He CAN obey God. He CAN live pure, but the savage wolves in sheep’s clothing who you have been deceived by won’t teach these facts because they want to appease people with itching ears who want to live in sin and think they can have heaven too. They are taking people to hell with them.

(EMAIL) I was so encouraged tonight when I read your article on Unity: The True and the False http://www.evangelicaloutreach.org/unity.htm We have a small Bible study in our home each week with like minded believers who have all become concerned about the influx of the Emergent Church and the Purpose Driven crowd. As we have each been in positions to take a stand for Truth regarding salvation through Faith in Christ Alone many relationships have been tested. Your article will refresh those who feel quite defeated and sad. Thank you. Dependent on Him,

(RESPONSE) Greetings in Jesus’ name. THANK YOU for the kind words. Over the years we have been called many names and accused of things like being divisive, unloving, etc. The article you referred to helps to reveal the primary issue is God’s truth. Unity is worthless, if it is not based on God’s word (2 Tim. 3:16,17). That means regardless how popular one may be, if what he is teaching or doing isn’t based on Scripture, then get away from him.

There is no doubt that ANY large group or popular teacher should be highly suspect of teaching falsely in our APOSTATE day. Religious people want their ears tickled because they want to cleave to sin and self-will rather than God’s truth. Because there are so many willing to teach such people, false doctrines are abounding (2 Tim. 4:3,4).

(EMAIL from a Catholic) why you must put other faiths down, in order to Love God in your own way? Read John 6; maybe then you can have calmness and true Love in your heart. Your words of misguidance for so many; is that TRULY loving, if your anwser is not \"No!\" than you ar NOT a servant of God, you are filled with too much hate. We pray for you, we are blessed to Have a Merciful God.

THE CHURCH from Christ (Himself) to Peter forgives you, but will God? You now the Truth, quit kidding yourself....God have mercy on your dark soul;

with Love and humilty, praying for your conversion; True salvation: everlasting life; Heaven or Hell; \"If you Love me; KEEP my commandments!! \"....

(RESPONSE) Greetings in Jesus’ name. Apparently, as a Catholic you think we are wrong, but on the basis of what Scripture/s? Rather than just reject what we have written or verbally taught, why not “test” it with the Bible. QUESTION: If you were raised Hindu do you think you’d be a Catholic today? Many are Catholics just because they were raised that way. What about you? Have you ever seriously considered what former Catholics have to say and why they left? Maybe you should listen http://www.evangelicaloutreach.org/catholic.htm

Please know to expose and correct false doctrine is not “hate.” It is actually love. If someone was going the wrong way down a 4 lane highway, do you think it would be “hate” to try to get him to stop and go the other direction? It would be loving to try to help that person by getting him turned around. That is how you should view what we are doing in a spiritual way. We are helping souls find eternal life in the Lord Jesus.

NOTE: To find true salvation one must go by the message of the Bible. Hence, what Scripture do you base your salvation upon? Do you have any? Please see 2 Tim. 3:15-17. GOD BLESS YOU.

(EMAIL) Hello, I have a question about John 6:44 which reads: 44\ “No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up at the last day.” I am wondering if you believe that we choose God or that he chooses us? From this passage it appears that God chooses us and that we can not choose Him unless he first draws us. I am wondering what your interpretation of this passage is, thank you very much for your time!

(RESPONSE) Greetings in Jesus’ name. John 6:44 is a favorite verse of the Calvinists. They magnify that verse to the exclusion of other passages and therefore have a distorted understanding. A relevant passage, often overlooked, is John 12:32:

But I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to myself.

Jesus draws ALL people to himself. That helps doesn’t it? All John 6:44 says is: One must be drawn by God to come to Jesus, but John 12:32 reveals that ALL PEOPLE are drawn. Since most will end up in hell, then it takes more than just God drawing us or all would be saved. Man has free will to reject the truth or accept it. God honors man’s decision. Have you seen this http://www.evangelicaloutreach.org/calvinismrefuted.htm GOD BLESS YOU.

(EMAIL) I am teaching on this subject in a cell group and want real answers.... In your website, and in reading 1 Corinthians 5... How do you interpret 1 Corinthians 5:5 where it says...."his sinful nature will be destroyed and he himself will be saved when the Lord returns" NLT or in NIV "hand this man over to Satan so that the sinful nature may be destroyed and his *spirit saved on the day of the Lord."*

Also 6:12 where it says I am allowed to do everything but all is not good for you... I must not become a "slave " to anything. and in verse 6:9 "those who INDULGE in sexual sin, etc... "

It would seem to me that we all struggle with sins. Salvation needs to be worked out with fear and trembling. If we are indulging and not asking forgiveness, seeking help, or recognizing our need to be released from these sins - that is when we are not listening or in fact grieving the Holy Spirit, chastening happens repeatedly by God’s mercy. Even death if we are unresponsive. Finally our sinful nature is destroyed by death... We are of no use to God, infact harmful as our testimony is ruined and we lead others astray...but our spirit is saved on the day of the Lord... We will have suffered loss (our works will be tested by fire whether good or bad.) we will regret being enslaved by sin when we could have followed Him and rec’d reward.

I believe and have seen “easy” conversions by saying a prayer but there was no fruit. I foolishly led my _____ to the Lord in my enthusiasm 25 years ago, she “said the prayer”. No fruit, no evidence—money was her god. Last year she was truly converted and is indeed a regenerated person. She now has to deal w/a life long mindset which will be a struggle. But, by God’s grace, prompting and in His time, these things will be stripped away as His revelation of truth comes out in doses that she can handle and digest. Comments? Thanks.

(RESPONSE) Greetings in Jesus’ name. We hope to soon have a video teaching on 1 Cor. 5, which is important with regard to the subject of once saved always saved. The chapter refers to an unnamed man who was committing sexual sin which even pagans didn’t commit, 5:1,2. (The darkened eternal security teachers of our day want us to believe he was a Christian!!!!!) Verse 5 shows that same sexually immoral man was WITHOUT salvation. How can we be sure of this? Because the text reads that the Christians needed to do something regarding him (kick him out of the congregation-v. 13-and hand him over to Satan-v. 5-so that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus). (1 Cor 5:5)

NOTE: “may be saved” does NOT mean “is saved now.” Remember that. Paul used the same language several chapters later and it is clear there as well what the meaning is. Ponder this carefully:

Even as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved. (1 Cor 10:33)

Did Paul go into virgin territory and preach the gospel there because people were already saved or so that his preaching the gospel there could possibly bring about initial salvations? Of course the latter is the answer. That is how we need to understand v. 5. That man was sexually immoral and like ALL sexually immoral people he was on the road to HELL, yet the heretical eternal security teachers want us to think he was a Christian bound for heaven!

Verse 13 is crystal clear regarding that man’s spiritual identity:

God will judge those outside. “Expel the wicked man from among you.” (1 Cor 5:13)

Paul clearly stated he was “wicked,” and not a righteous person. That same Greek word translated wicked there is also found in Mt. 13:49. Verse 50 show the destiny of the wicked, unless they repent:

This is how it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come and separate the wicked from the righteous and throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Besides all of that, all people who commit the same sin of that unnamed man of 5:1,2 are referred to in the following passage and will be excluded from God’s kingdom:

Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God. (1 Cor. 6:9,10).

Again, that is clear and it shows 1 Cor. 5:5 declares the man UNSAVED-not saved.

In 1 Cor. 6:12,13 Paul is referring to eating meat that was sacrificed to an idol, which he also mentions again in chapter 10:19-33. 1 Cor. 10:23 is a repeat of 6:12! Eating that meat is permissible, but such “freedoms” can stumble another. Hence, great caution needs to be exercised. NEVER is sexual immorality shown to be permissible. Such will ALWAYS damn a person to hell.

Struggling against sin is not good enough. We must be an “overcomer” to enter God’s kingdom (Rev. 21:1-8). The non-overcomers get cast into the lake of fire. We must put to death our sinful nature here and NOW. Please read this carefully http://www.evangelicaloutreach.org/fighttothedeath.htm

Remember what the real grace teacher wanted Christians to know:

For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person—such a man is an idolater—has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things God’s wrath comes on those who are disobedient. Therefore do not be partners with them. (Eph 5:5-7)

The loss because of such sins is MUCH WORSE than just forfeiting rewards. Such have NO inheritance in God’s kingdom and will be thrown into the lake of fire (Rev. 21:8).

(EMAIL) I have enjoyed your ministry. I have a question and I’ll make it quick. You have stated several time that adulterer is in spiritual death. I agree. But I have not heard you address “lust in the heart” as Jesus used in Matthew 5:28.

But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.

Would one who “lust” also be in spiritual death. Thanks for anything you can offer. And if you have addressed it somewhere on your site already, could you please direct me to it. Thanks again, God bless,

(RESPONSE) Greetings in Jesus’ name. Mental adultery is very widespread in our day. Furthermore, the Bible does NOT say such is any less serious than being in adultery over an illegitimate marriage or going through the physical act as King David did. These are the three ways to commit the sin of adultery in our day.

We have MUCH material on mental adultery, including an actual tract you can print from your computer http://www.evangelicaloutreach.org/printfreetracts.htm The one you mention has “lust” in the title.

Also see http://www.evangelicaloutreach.org/alphabet.htm Other articles and emails are also related to that subject and found there.

Please consider signing up for our weekly email teachings, updates, etc. If interested, you can do that here http://www.evangelicaloutreach.org/contact.htm GOD BLESS YOU. Heb. 3:14.

(EMAIL) God forgives everyone, so if you were to kill yourself you would not go to hell. The Bible says that as long as you have accepted the Lord in your heart and ask for forgiveness you will live in Heaven after death, so if you were to kill yourself you would be forgiven and go to Heaven.

(RESPONSE) Greetings in Jesus’ name. If God automatically forgives everyone who was once saved of their future sins then WHY do we read the following?

If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life maimed than with two hands to go into hell, where the fire never goes out. (Mark 9:43)

The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. (Gal 6:8,9)

But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart. If your right eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. (Mat 5:28,29)

For if you live according to the sinful nature, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live, (Rom 8:13)

But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death. (Rev 21:8)

Please read this http://www.evangelicaloutreach.org/futuresins.htm

You wrote: “The Bible says that as long as you have accepted the Lord in your heart and ask for forgiveness you will live in Heaven after death,” but cited NO SCRIPTURE. What you have written there is only a doctrinal belief—NOT a Biblical teaching!

A suicide can NOT repent after he murders himself. Hence, as with all other “murderers” he will go to the lake of fire for that sin (Rev. 21:8). Do NOT be deceived by eternal security.

GOD BLESS YOU.

(EMAIL) [After several exchanges on the pre-trib rapture, this proponent wrote the following about Mt. 24:44 in support for his view.] Yeah, that’s the best I can come up with.

(RESPONSE) Here is the best verse you could cite:

So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him. (Mat 24:44)

Please show me where the pre-trib rapture is revealed there. [He NEVER wrote back after that. It is apparent there is NO SCRIPTURAL EVIDENCE for a pre-trib rapture, even though it is commonly taught as fact. Do NOT be deceived.]
