For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,
But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.
He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:
Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?
For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people-
HEBREWS 10:26-30
WITH THIS YOU WILL UNDERSTAND THAT IT IS UNSCRIPTURAL AND HERESY TO CONCLUDE THAT ONCE SAVED, YOU ARE FOREVER SAVED.
Philippians 2:12 Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
NOTE: DON'T LIVE AND SWIM IN SIN WITH THE MINDSET OF YOUR FUTURE SIN ARE ALREADY FORGIVEN YOU.
Hell enlarged herself after Jesus preached to the Old Testament saints ( 1Peter 3:18-20) in Abraham's bosom and released them from prison. Before this, a great chasm ( Luke 16:19-31) separated Hell (those in torment) from Abraham's bosom. The rich man (in hell) asked that Lazarus (in Abraham's bosom) be sent to dip the end of his finger in water and cool his tongue. Verse 26- the great chasm was fixed... no one could cross/pass over. Jesus released those in prison and Abraham's bosom was emptied, then hell enlarged herself (was expanded).
I believe this is where Catholics get the idea of purgatory (even though this place is not mentioned in the bible). Purgatory was emptied after Jesus descended into hell and released the prisoners from Abraham's bosom.
Is the idea of hell enlarging itself (and being enlarged ever since) the cause of so-called global warming???
The Bible says, "being in the form of GOD". Asking the HOLY SPIRIT why it was stated this way, I asked Him to show me through scripture what it could mean to we as believers. Then He brought to mind the following Bible passage. This is a phrase that caught my attention for a reason that may seem far fetched to some. Please allow me to expound. The word "formed" is brought to our attention in the first book of the Bible.
Genesis 2:7 tells us that "the LORD GOD formed man". I believe that in verse 6 of Philippians 2 we see within this passage that it is bringing to mind the prophetic thought of the CHRIST coming as a man. The verse goes on to states, "thought it not robbery". I believe if it were not the GOD Head's purpose it could have been called robbery. The reason for submitting this idea comes from the remainder of the verse that states,"to be equal with GOD".
Only a part of the GOD Head could be equal with GOD and no other. When thee LORD of Glory wanted to redeem man He left His throne and became a man for the purpose of dying, by shedding His perfect untainted blood on the cross for our sins. GOD's plan is always perfect and only the perfection of a HOLY GOD could have accomplished this Sacrifice.
What a wonderful Savor we have and how He through His perfect great love gave all. Thank You LORD.
We have to be careful with the salvation given to us. We aught to take care of it, knowing that He who has the blood of Jesus as nothing after knowing the truth, then it remains a fearful judgement, and we fall in the hands of a living God.
we work out our salvation not to gain it but because we already have it.
It means further that Jesus cannot be a being less than God, or a being separate from God as many claim he is. This false teaching started early in Christianity, and continues until this day. Satan knows that if we lower Jesus to a subordinate position, we can't be saved.
Even the Jews of Jesus' day knew that only God can forgive sin. And since Jesus claimed to have such power, it was his way of saying that he was God. One of the most famous verses in the Bible supports this point: "... And the Word (Jesus) was God ( John 1:1). Another famous verse is Philippians 2:11: "... Jesus is Lord (God). ..." This verse concludes with "to the Glory of God the Father." This only means that there is another personality in God besides Jesus-the Holy Spirit is the third.
But now, we must sacrifice our time, money, and most of our wants up to God. ................... It is a serious decision, to say yes to God: This decision is one, that needs to be deeply examined........Our thoughts should be, " Am i really ready to faithfully deny myself, my wants; Like, my luxury's, or my pleasure's, or my wealth, or my place of authority, or my self preservation, my pride, and my plans, to do God's work; for once i say yes to God, now i have to dedicate my time to finding out his will, (Which is reading and studying his word daily) then i have to obey his word at all cost; That his Holy Spirit over take me, and fill me with his nature.
For if we want God, than we must be willing to give up, our mammal instint life, for God's spiritual life.
God gave Him a name which is above every name.
At this name every (being) knee shall bow and every tongue confess His Lordship in three worlds heaven-earth-hell.
God seated Him in the highest place in the universe, at His own right hand, and made Him to be head over all things.
There is a name that’s above every name, heaven, earth, and hell realizes what that name means. We must to realize it.
THAT NAME IS JUST AS: WONDERFUL AS HE IS
MIGHTY AS HE IS
POWERFUL AS HE IS
GREAT AS HE IS
