EO Responds To
Emails 10-11-09
(EMAIL) I have enjoyed reading your site, especially your refuting of the eternal security. My issue is this. Our family has recent exited a theological cult church. I doubt you have ever heard of it. But it goes by the name of \"truth\" or 2x2\'s and there are many other names...the church itself claims no name. So \"no name church\" is sometimes even used. We are now searching for a church home...we have attended and like very much a small Southern Baptist church...but the osas really bothers me. So far this is the only church that we have found that preaches the bible and effectively teaches the kids as well. Although I haven\'t heard strong osas preaching I know this is an underlying belief and would much rather establish our family at a Whole Bible teaching church. Do you have affiliations or contacts with churches throughout the US? Is so would you be willing to communitcate with me and possibly help us find a possible church? Thanks in advance,
(RESPONSE) Greetings in Jesus’ name. It is GREAT to read you are out of that false system, but unfortunately you are now in another! ANY congregation which believes in eternal security will have to severely mangle the Scriptures in various areas such as sin, grace, salvation, etc. They will do that by twisting HUNDREDS of Scriptures and avoiding MANY others which clearly show the righteous can die spiritually.
Your desire is a common and noble one, that is, to find a sound congregation in your area. Please know this will be almost IMPOSSIBLE because we are in a very spiritually DARK time on a global scale. That is why we started our internet church. The sheep need fed. If you have not yet signed up for our email teachings, updates, etc., you can do that here http://www.evangelicaloutreach.org/contact.htm
GOD BLESS YOU. Rom. 8:5,6.

(EMAIL) I LOVE THIS WEBSITE!! It has really helped me to understand more deeply this demonic and contradictory teaching that is sadly sending MILLIONS of Bible Toting, gospel sharing "Christians" (aka heretics) to hell! It surprises me how even when you show OSAS proponents scriptures that show that they are wrong, they will look at you with a straight face and hang on to their "security in sin" gospel anyway! I just don't understand why people would reject the truth that will save their souls, for a lie that will damn their souls! I've found that even MOST Bibles have taken to this teaching and it is all through the study notes! Sadly, people who really want truth are being deceived when they go to the "SOURCE" of truth which is the Word of God!! May the Lord have mercy on us in this dangerously spiritually dark day!! Thank you...God Bless,
(RESPONSE) Greetings in Jesus’ name. The reason you can’t understand the once saved always saved rejecters of truth is because your heart is so different. The vast majority of them have sought out such teachers to teach the Scriptures as they want them to say—allowing for sexual immorality, drunkenness, greed, etc. and salvation at the same time. See 2 Tim. 4:2-4.
The whole religious system is basically corrupt and rotten to the core. The so-called “study Bibles,” which are read by professing Christians, are deserving of the GARBAGE CAN because they slip in eternal security. They are wonderful ways/tools to indoctrinate people without them even being aware of it. It is great you know about that subtle form of satanic deception. Many don’t! [Another area they deceive people is through teaching a pre-trib rapture. Click here for more information http://www.evangelicaloutreach.org/trumpetrapture.htm ]
Do you know about our print-your-own-tracts? Many are written to refute eternal security. These might help you contend on campus and elsewhere http://www.evangelicaloutreach.org/printfreetracts.htm
Please consider signing up for our email teachings, updates, etc. If interested, you can do that here http://www.evangelicaloutreach.org/contact.htm
GOD BLESS YOU. 1 Cor. 15:2.

(EMAIL) I wish to thank you personally for the compiled list of names of Jesus that you have posted on your website. I have been looking for a list, that I can reflect on the love, glory, and power of Jesus the Risen Lord. I think it's a great way for me (and perhaps other friars in my order) to spend our hours of prayer. I feel that your list will help me to strengthen my relationship with God.
I pray you will not be offended that a Catholic & Franciscan friar chose to use your thoughtful and well-researched list. My intention is not to cause tension or ill-feelings, nor to start any debate on faith, scripture, or articles of doctrine. Rather my hope is that by showing my sincere gratitude for your contribution to my spiritual growth, we might share in the glory and love of Jesus, the example He gave us in His life, and the saving power of his resurrection. Peace and all good,
(RESPONSE) Greetings in Jesus’ name. Thank you for writing. It is great to know you were blessed by some of the many names/titles of the Lord Jesus. Hopefully, after pondering the list of names and titles of the Lord Jesus, you will not look to, trust in or go to Mary for anything, as you have been taught. The Mary of Catholicism is not the Mary of the Bible. She is not the mediatrix and dispenser of all graces. She is not our “life, sweetness and hope.” We can get to Jesus without first going to her.
Please read the New Testament for yourself and change accordingly. I assume you are sincere, but you MUST be right about salvation, which you are not. What you need to know to be changed spiritually is found in the New Testament. Again, please read it carefully for yourself and change accordingly. Your precious SOUL is in the greatest danger. As a former Catholic, I speak from experience.
If you want a free copy of our book to read, “Is This The Mary Of The Bible?” please send your full address. GOD BLESS YOU.

(EMAIL) I was on your site this evening reading about JW's beliefs. I have a sister who has been a JW [Jehovah’s Witness] since 1981. She actually will get irate at times when the deity of Jesus Christ is brought up. I've looked at her beliefs and questioned her how she is saved and her response was "through faith in Jesus Christ." I believe she is either confused or lying to me, so I can't get at the truth about her works belief. Do JW's say this to produce a smoke screen to Christians? I know their god is satan the father of lies so for them to lie is by nature. The whole system is based on lies. The god they call jehovah doesn't exist in the Bible, but in the imaginations of men with the aid of demons. It's just like a Muslim saying they worship the same God of the Bible. Lies.
I had Mormons at my door a week ago and talked with them about salvation, trinity, JW's and their extra book. I found that they don't believe the trinity as your site defined, but they believe what JW's accuse us Christians as believing, "3 gods in 1." You know about their beliefs as well does that assessment sound right?
I want to reach my niece whose is now married to a non-JW. She has been in and out of the JW scene over the years. I just not sure where to start. Her mother (my sister) really has a strong grip on her. My niece went through her parents divorce as a young adult and there a lot of hurt there. Thanks for reading this and any info you can give me, Thank you,
(RESPONSE) Greetings in Jesus’ name. It was very sad to read that your sister is a JW. They are often so indoctrinated/brainwashed they don’t even think religiously, but only accept what their headquarters teaches in their literature. Depending on what type of JW you speak to and what his agenda is, the answers will vary. Though some may answer as your sister did, that really means to them: taking in (accurate) knowledge, which ONLY their headquarters can teach, based on their misuse of John. 17:3. They have also stated in their Paradise book that one must be part of “Jehovah’s organization” to have eternal life. The bottom line is they are all without salvation and on the road to hell , even though they deny such exists! We have many articles for them here http://www.evangelicaloutreach.org/jehovah.htm
The Mormons (LDS) believe the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are THREE separate Gods! (Mormons are polytheistic and therefore not Christians, just based on that point alone.)
The best way to learn about God and salvation is to read the New Testament for yourself carefully. There is so much deception in our day, such is the only sure way to be exposed to truth, as we all need to be.
...GOD BLESS YOU.

(EMAIL) ...I checked out your Jehovah Witness section and found it very interesting. My mothers side of my family are J.W.'s and I'm constantly "debating" them. It's a struggle because they are so caught up in "religion" rather than having a relationship with Christ. I've actually talked with them about the 144,000 using Revelation, where both parties (the 12 tribes of Israel and those who have accepted Christ) are "before the throne". It was nice to read the same on your website! I found it very encouraging! I'm one of two Christians in my mixed up family and I find myself constantly "battling". My fathers side are Catholics, but not truly Christian, although they think they are. I think I've helped "plant the seed" but it can be hard to water! I love them so much but it's very hard to break that religious-cult-like barrier they have set-up!
I also updated the section of my website on how to get saved and the new in Christ web-page. I added more about how salvation is not "just words" but action and work. Although I always knew this, I didn't have enough information on my website about it. Thank you for the inspiration to add more!
Bottom line, I really enjoyed your website and I will visit again! Keep doing what you all are doing and may God bless you as you continue to tell the truth about His Word! If I can ever be of some help, please contact me! (It's late and I'm tired, so I hope that I made sense... ) God bless,
(RESPONSE) Greetings in Jesus’ name. Sorry for the slight delay in writing. THANK YOU for all your help and encouragement.
The Lord Jesus spoke of ravening wolves in sheep’s clothing (Mt. 7:15). That is exactly what the Watchtower headquarters is. Those “wolves” have killed and hurt many over the years. Some only get “bit,” which seems to be the case with you and others in their family which are deceived by the JW false gospel, etc. To have a JW in the family is to have trouble! (Sad, but true.)
The best way to deal with a JW is to discuss salvation. They tend to know VERY LITTLE about this and really have no clue about the genuine object. They don’t even have a close counterfeit to the “gospel.”
Our hearts go out to the Catholics, especially since there are so few who are trying to help them find salvation in our day. Many are sincere, but sadly misled. GOD BLESS YOU. Heb. 3:14.
