When you read the Bible, "Precept must be upon precept, line upon line, here a little,
there a little."(Isaiah 28:10) Most sermons are preached that way.
I have researched the subject of all saved for over 10 years. In my studies, I have
discovered that Elohim (Creator) is not all vengeful. He wants His children to be with
Him in Heaven, and not to watch most of them burn in the Lake of Fire for ever. By His
inspired words, He is loving, careing, and forgiving.
The following documents give the highlights of important information on that issue.
Later you can read over 80 scriptures that prove ALL Will Be Saved, they are plain,
stand on their own, and no need to interpret them.
Universal salvation in its simple and proper sense existed in most churches of the
founding fathers. It was very common and virtually unchallenged among early
Christians until the time known as the Dark Ages that started in the 5th century. From
A.D.170 to 430 A.D, there were 6 main Christian schools of thought. Four taught the
salvation of all mankind. One taught total annihilation of sinners at the end. One
taught eternal torment in a burning Lake of Fire.
Protestant churches followed the latter, and that is where the main body of believers
are today. (Schaff-Herzog Bible encyclopedia). Mainstream Protestant churches are
still preaching some of the non Biblical doctrines of that era, and are passively
accepted by parishioners.
In the 1st century, Yahshua Messiah (Jesus) established His church. From the fourth
century to this day, the Gospel, (Good news) became the bad news. The churches
teach an underlying doctrine, about the vast majority of people born from Adam and
Eve until the present, that are doomed.
They believe the multiple billions of people that have never heard of Yahshua Messiah.
Nor have they accepted, or believed Him in this life. They will be cast into a Lake of
Fire, to be tormented forever. This by our Heavenly Father, whose love never fails.
(Romans 8:39)
This my friends is a contradiction which defies rational thinking, and the scriptures.
The Bible confirms that Yahshua Messiah Desires all mankind to be saved, and come
to the knowledge of the truth, and is the Savior of ALL mankind, especially those that
believe. (1 Timothy 2:3,4) (4:10,11)
Elohim is of one mind, who can change Him? What ever His Soul desires, He does.
(Job 23:13) Here is a subject that theologians have no satisfactory answer for. An
opinion survey was taken of a number of preachers. They were asked why Yahweh
would allow the major population of the entire world, to suffer a horrible existence in
the Lake of Fire forever ? They replied, Because He is Holy. This also defies rational
thinking.
Theologians are correct when they say, you must accept Yahshua to be saved.
Scriptures agree, and not only in this life. This is a formality, because He Saved All
when He suffered and died on the cross at Calvary. While we were enemies, we were
reconciled to Yahweh by Messiahs death. And much more, We Are Saved by His
resurrected life (Romans 5:10)
Christians have been indoctrinated, and brain washed with the Lake of Fire doctrine
all of their lives. The belief is: an earlier faction of the church taught this to keep
parishioners under control with fear and death. In earlier years, they were not allowed
to read the Bible. Protestants, since the reformation, have used negative sounding
scriptures as assumptions.
There is embellishment and spin, in interpreting the scriptures, even in this day and
age. Most Christians are taught and believe that parable stories are real . This could
not be more further from the truth. Strongs Bible Concordance states. A parable is a
fictitious narration conveying a moral. A proverb has the same meaning, as an
illustration.
Many theologians interpret, that every negative sounding scripture means Lake of Fire.
Their church should be called the Church of Assumption. The scriptures they give
about damnation aren't what they seem to be.
An example is the parable of entering the wide gate to destruction. (Die, perish) and
the narrow gate to life. (Mt.7:13,14) No Lake of Fire here, only an assumption. The
wide gate, is a life of self destructive sins. Crime, drugs, immoral sex and unhealthy life
style, can shorten a persons life very quickly.
Matthew (25:31-46) Is a parable about separating the sheep, which are righteous,from
the goats, representing sinners. The story was, that the sinners, didn't feed, give
water, shelter, clothe, visit the sick, and the prisoners. Yahshua Messiah said depart,
you cursed into everlasting fire. As for the moral of this fictitious story. People were
lovers of money. (Luke 16:13 They were not about to spend their time and money on
strangers.
The sin committed by the people in this fictitious story, was knowing to do good and
not doing it. (James 4:17) Their sins were not about breaking the 10 Commandments.
Not murder, adultery, stealing, coveting their neighbors wife, worshiping other gods
ect. The Messiah is not going to cast anyone into the Lake of Fire for not giving some
one a drink of water.
He was castigating people for their total lack of charity. Another fact, is that the Bible
refers to mankind as sheep in 39 places, never as goats, whether good or bad. There
is the true story of Yahshua casting demons into the herd of swine.(Mark 5:12,13)The
analogy to that story is, that the beings representing the goats, were demons in the
narration, and they will be cast into everlasting fire.
Lazarus and the rich man's parable shows more stingy people. The people that
Yahshua was preaching to, could relate to His story. They probably held on to their
sheckles very tight, when they saw a beggar. Its another story of greed. The rich man
was symbolically cast into the Lake of Fire for not giving to the poor.
Have you ever passed by a beggar, & ignored help or donations to a charity? Forget
about murder, rape, arson, drugs, porno, ect. Lets get rid of the tight wads. And guess
what ? We are not going to end up in Abrahams bosom when we die. Abraham has
nothing to do with salvation, or the Lake of Fire.
The error of believing this was not a parable; is that the resurrection and the White
Throne judgment hasnt happened yet. (No brainer) Also Abrahams Bosom would be
very crowded by now. (Luke 16:20-31) May this writer suppose, that since our creator
endowed most of us with humor. Yahshua might have injected some of it into the
parable, when He said. Pluck your eye out, cut your hand, and foot off, if they make
you sin. ( Mark 9:43-47)
The people that were standing there, were not stupid. They knew that those members
don't cause you to sin. Their mental picture of the multitudes hopping around, on one
foot, with one hand, and half blind, must have caused instant laughter from them. If
Yahshua was serious with that command. Most if not all Christians, should be getting
their disability checks by now. Also, you would be cast into the Lake of Fire for not
giving a thirsty person a drink of water.
There is the parable of people casting out demons, doing wonders and prophesying
in Yahshua's name. He said I never knew you, depart from me, you who practice
lawlessness.(Matthew 7:22,23) No Lake of Fire here. Anyway, this is not something
the average person has to worry about, maybe some T.V. evangelists should.
Another assumption is (2 Thessalonians 1:7,8,9) Yahshua takes vengeance on those
that dont know Yahweh and dont obey the gospel of Yahshua. They shall be punished
with ever lasting destruction. Let the reader take heed. You don't know Yahshua if you
don't keep His Commandments. If you say you know Him and don't keep His
commandments, you are a liar (1 John 2:4) We do know for sure, that satan and his
angels don't obey the Gospel or keep the law.
They are not forgiven, but mankind is, through the death and resurrection of Yahshua
Messiah.In Daniels prophesy, (12:2) it speaks of many that are asleep in the dust of
the earth. They shall awake, some to everlasting life. Some to shame, and everlasting
contempt. That is far less of a punishment than the Lake of Fire, which is not
mentioned.
Yahweh has canceled edicts in the past. This was always for the benefit of mankind.
(Exodus 32:14) (Daniel 9:9) Yahweh will send His Angels to gather all that offend, and
those that practice lawlessness, they will be cast into a furnace of fire, with wailing and
gnashing of teeth. Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom. (Mt
13:41-43)
Some Christians believe that when they are saved, they are sin free, and righteous.
Maybe they are more spiritual than the Apostle Paul. He said that when he sinned, it
wasnt him, but the evil, wickedness, and sin dwelling in him. (Rom 7:17) Sinning is
lawlessness and its not righteous.
As it is written, there is none righteous, no, not one (Romans 3:10) How do we
become righteous? Yahweh will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before
all nations. (Isaiah.61:11) When Yahweh's judgements are in the earth, all inhabitants
will learn righteousness (Isaiah 26:9) According to the Bible, we can't become
righteous on our own. Yahshua said The hour is coming that those in the graves shall
come forth; they that have done good, to the resurrection of life; and
those that have done evil to the resurrection of damnation. (John 5:29)
The Greek word krisis in the Bible is used for both damnation and judgment.
(Revelation 16:7) Says Yahweh's judgments are true and righteous Truth seekers,
would agree that the evil and wickedness are satanic, which will be damned. Have
you ever done anything evil or sinful in your life?
Are you ready to cast the first stone? All those that take the mark of the beast, the
people not written in the book of life, and all others. They are instruments of satan
when taken captive by him. (2 Tim 2:26) They will be delivered from their body of
death, as Paul was waiting for. (Romans 7:24)
They will be bowing their knees to Yahshua Messiah and confessing to The Father at
the judgment with all mankind. (Romans 14:11) People won't believe that sin is of the
devil, even though scriptures say so. They believe that all sin is man's doing and on
his own. satan's tactics are in the powerful influence he has over ALL mankind.The
plain fact is, that there is no sin in a persons life without satans input.
The man that had 2000 demons cast out by Yahshua, had to be the most wicked in
the Bible. And yet he was sitting at Yahshua's feet, and in his right mind. The
scriptures show that our spirit is really us. That our bodies with its carnality, are only
vehicles and not spiritual. In (Galatians 5:17) It speaks of the flesh that lusts against
our spirit, and our spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so
that you dont do the things that you wish.
There are negative scriptures like: Vessels of wrath prepared for destruction. (Romans
9:22) There are other scriptures that tells of that spirit of evil, wickedness, and sin that
dwells with in us. This is love, not that we loved Yahweh, but that He loved us and sent
His Son to be the appeaser for our sins. (1 John 2:2) The Bible is saying, even if you
dont have the knowledge, don't believe, or love the Lord in this life, you will be saved in
the next.
These scriptures explains it. Look unto Me, and be saved, all the ends of the earth: for
I am Yahweh, and there is none other. (Isaiah 45:22) That unto me every knee shall
bow, and every tongue take an oath. (Isaiah 45:23) As I live says Yahshua, every knee
shall bow to Me, and every tongue shall confess to Yahweh. (Romans 14:11) With the
heart, one believes to righteousness, and with the tongue, confession is made unto
salvation. (Romans 10:10) Yes, Salvation is that simple when you add Yahshua's
sacrifice.
There are no scriptures that say, its too late after death to accept Yahshua. People
that dont believe that, are blinded. (2 Corinthians 4:4) (Revelation 21:8) States: All liars,
(among others), will be cast into the Lake of Fire. A simple question; If Adolph Hitler
and a liar were swimming together in the Lake of Fire. Would the temperature be the
same for both? If a person lied, were accidentally killed, and had no time to repent, do
they join Adolph?
.Was the Bible right when it said that all mankind will be saved and receive the
knowledge of the truth.? Was it right when it said all mankind shall be saved especially
those that believe ? Was it right when it said Yahshua came to save the whole world ?
