IMPORTANT QUESTION

 

I want to ask a very important question about our SALVATION. And the answer should be EASY because the question is simple. The question is this - was Adam and Eve saved before they ignored God’s Laws and Commandments not to eat the forbidden fruit?

In other words, would they still have their eternal life if they had not eaten the fruits and had followed God’s orders? The answer is an absolute YES. Why did they lose their eternal life? Why did God evict them from the Garden of Eden? If you ask your Pastors and Preachers, they would say that Adam and Eve failed to do their work - follow God’s orders. That’s right. If they had followed what God had told them to do, they would still enjoy living in the beautiful Garden of Eden. But no, they want to be like God - they want to have the ability to know the difference between good and evil, like God, even though that means that they have to go against God’s orders (Genesis 2:17).

Was Lucifer saved before God evicted him from heaven? Did he have eternal life before he rebelled against God for wanting to be like God? If you ask your Pastors and Preachers why Lucifer was evicted from heaven they would also say that Lucifer failed to do his WORK. He wanted to exceed God’s authority over him. He did not do what he was supposed to do, lower himself before God and serve Him. In both cases, they failed to do their WORK - and that is to serve God.

Can we, Pastors and Preachers, not CLEARLY see that WORK is a very important part of SALVATION? No work, no salvation! What’s wrong with my friends? Are we blind, or do we choose to play dumb?

No one can be saved if they do not work, no one. And those who are saved and do not work will lose their salvation, like Adam, Eve, Lucifer, and millions or billions of angels who were evicted from heaven with Lucifer. That's why Jesus said only those who are faithful to the end will be saved. I hope I have made myself clear on this point. No work, no salvation. Millions or billions drowned and died during the big flood. Why? Because God said no work, no salvation. If we cannot show to God work that He can accept, there is no salvation. The big flood during Noah’s time was proof of why they were destroyed!

What a waste of time and money working for College degrees, Master's degrees, and Doctorate degrees but failing to see or understand that WORK is crucial for our salvation. Grace comes only after we work.

According to The Triad of Salvation, salvation stands on three legs.

I want now to discuss the Triad of Salvation - work, grace, and salvation. Work is our part, grace is God’s part, and salvation is our part together - God working together with us in a partnership to help us do His will. We cannot do his will alone. We must be in partnership with God if we want to be saved. Why? Because no one can be saved walking alone. Jesus said that only those who endure till the end will be saved. The only way that we can endure till the end is when we walk with Him, as the Prophet Enoch did. He walked hand-in-hand with God until the end. 

Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven; but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven (Matthew 7:21). And we need Him to help us do His will.

Without work salvation is impossible. Why? Because we have to work to do the will of the Father, and humans will do the work. And without humans to do the work, who will be saved? A dead body cannot be saved. Why? Because no one does the work. The Bible says that God will measure us by our work, and He "will render to each one according to his deeds": eternal life to those who by patient continuance in doing good seek for glory, honor, and immortality; but to those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness indignation and wrath, tribulation and anguish, on every soul of a man who does evil, of the Jew first and also of the Greek; but glory, honor, and peace to everyone who works what is good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. For there is no partiality with God.” (Romans 2:6-11). Paul says that we will be judged according to our good deeds, or by our works.

Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man [was] great in the earth, and [that] every intent of the thoughts of his heart [was] only evil continually. And the LORD was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart. So the LORD said, "I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth, both man and beast, creeping thing and birds of the air, for I am sorry that I have made them. "But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.” (Genesis 6:5-8) Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord because of his deeds (work). Without good deeds or good work, neither the Jews, Greek, Noah, nor we will receive grace from God. I believe that good work is necessary to earn God’s grace and salvation. Work is our part that we must do for Him; grace is His part, and salvation is His gift to us so that we can do our work with His help. We must be totally obedient to Him. This is my theory of the Triad of Salvation.

Jesus said, "Not everyone who says to Me, `Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. "Many will say to Me on that day, `Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?' "And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!' (Matthew 7:21-23). Do we know what the will of the Father is? Doing the will of the Father is work. Some say that the will of the Father is that we have a good personal relationship with God. That is true, but could we have a good personal relationship with God when we humiliate and dishonor God by trashing His HOLY commandments in the trash? Do we know who God is? Is He our mother? No, He is not! Is He our high school chum? No, He is not! Do we know that God's Holy Commandments are His Words? He created the world with His Words, He created the angels with His words, He created Adam and Eve with His words, He created life with His words, He created everything that we see around us with His Holy words, and we ignored and thrashed His words, His Holy Laws, and Commandments, in the trash can like a piece of garbage? Is that how we treated Him? Have we no fear of the Lord?

Salvation is a working partnership between God and us in which we agree that we will walk hand-in-hand with Him, just like the Prophet Enoch did, until we can reach the finish line. That’s what Jesus meant when He said in Matthew 24:13, "But he who endures to the end shall be saved.”  We have to work with God as partners. Do you know who God is? Let me now introduce Him to you:

"If your right eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and cast [it] from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish than for your whole body to be cast into hell.” (Matthew 5:29); "And if your right-hand causes you to sin, cut it off and cast [it] from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish than for your whole body to be cast into hell.” (Matthew 5:30).

No, this is not hyperbole. Jesus exaggerates nothing. Also, have you read what Jesus said to the Bible or Torah scholars?

"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs which indeed appear beautiful outwardly, but inside are full of dead [men's] bones and all uncleanness.” (Matthew 23:27) Do you know why Jesus called them fakers? They like to play dumb with Jesus. Do we like to play dumb with Jesus?

LEGAL OFFER FROM JESUS

"My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me." And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand.” John 10:27-28 Today I am going to discuss a legal offer that Jesus offered to us, Jews and Gentiles when He was on earth thousands of years ago. If the Jews want to accept His offer, they are very welcome. If the Gentiles want to accept His offer, they are also welcome. If Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, or even Satan worshippers want to take up His offer, they are very welcome. Jesus’ offer is open to everyone. I encourage all to accept Jesus’ offer because He is true and faithful to His words. But remember, and don’t forget, that His offer in John 10:27-28 is a legal offer. It is a contract. I want to caution every reader, however, to read His offer carefully in order to avoid confusion or misunderstanding. This offer is a legal offer, and if there are readers who are not familiar with the terms of a contra...

PASTOR-ATTORNEY

Now as Paul thus made his defense before King Agrippa, Festus, a Roman procurator said with a loud voice, "Paul, you are beside yourself! Much learning is driving you mad!" Acts 26:24. I believe that all Christian Pastors should be trained as lawyers or Attorneys-at-Law. Why? Because the Bible is a law book. It has cases, laws, regulations, commandments, rules, etc. You can learn about civil law and cases in law libraries called reporters or law reports. Reading the Bible is not like reading a novel. The Bible is a collection of the history of law since Adam and Eve. The Bible is a law book! Many Christians are confused when they read the Bible, especially the writings of the apostle Paul. Festus told Paul that much learning was driving Paul mad! Do you know why he said that? Because Paul's legal arguments were not easy to understand and often confusing. Utter confusion, I believe, was the primary reason why we now have over 45,000 Christian denominations or groups globa...

CONFUSED?

Today I am going to write a few more words in case some of my readers are still not fully clear about what Jesus said when He said in Matthew 10:28, "And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell." Why did Jesus say that we should fear a God that can kill the soul, and not kill the body only? Do you know why? Most Christians don’t know the answer. They think that once we are dead we are done, finished. Once we are punished and burned in hell to ashes, there is nothing more to it, right? No, you are wrong! Why? Because the holy spirit tells me that while killing our body doesn’t take much work, a simple lethal IV infusion or high voltage electric current of an electric chair will kill our body, killing our soul is a different story. Only God can kill our soul. Our soul is resistant to death! Our souls can last forever when God destroys them in hell. That's why the Bible talks about ...

LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE

Jesus said, "You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men. You are the light of the world . A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all [who are] in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven." Matthew 5:13-16. Paul, on the other hand, contradicts Jesus and said, “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; [it is] the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. ” Ephesians 2:8-9. Paul said put your light under a basket. Don't glorify God with our good works. But in James 2:17 we read,  "Thus also faith by itself if it does not have works, is dead. " And so, who determines the work that we must do? Preachers, pastors, Biblica...

JUDAISM vs. CHRISTIANITY

Today I am going to write about a topic that I have not written about before. What drives me to write on this subject is not new. It’s about the shocking number of Christian denominations  that many of my readers have already heard or read on the Internet - over 45,000 worldwide. And there is only one Jesus. Is this good or bad? Why are there so many Christian groups or denominations in the world? I found the answer in Judaism and Christianity. There are 4 branches of Judaism - Orthodox Judaism, Reform Judaism, Conservative Judaism, and Reconstructionist Judaism. And there are over 45,000 Christian denominations. Let us look back at the history of Judaism and Christianity. Both the Jews and the Christians believe in one God. The Jews called their God Yahweh, and the Christians called their God Jesus Christ. They are the same God. However, the Jews and the Christians do not worship the same God. The Jews worship Yahweh, but the Christians worship the apostle Paul, aka Saul. The Je...

KNOW YOUR HACKERS

Today I want to write about hackers. These hackers can be Pagan hackers or Christian hackers. They go to church every week, or they stay home hacking us every day of the week. There is a high demand for hackers. And good hackers should not have great difficulties finding jobs, private or public. First, I want you to know that you should never use any of your CREDIT CARDS to buy anything ONLINE Never! ATM cards okay. Hackers are spying and watching you by using the apps that you have installed on your computer. They can know your user names and passwords through your apps. The fewer apps you have on your computer the better. They will give you a lot of problems when you use your CREDIT CARDS to purchase anything online. If you have to purchase anything online you should use your DEBIT CARDS instead. Be aware that hackers can intercept or interrupt you anytime they want when you do online transactions. They may ask for your driver's license, etcetera. IGNORE them! You might think tha...

SABBATH

"And pray that your flight may not be in the winter or on the Sabbath . For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect's sake those days will be shortened.” Matthew 24:20-22. Jesus said that we should pray that our flight will not occur on a Sabbath when the Great Tribulation time arrives. Why ? Because the Sabbath must still be observed as a holy day thousands of years later after Jesus was crucified. This should tell us that whoever teaches that the ten commandments is abolished after Jesus was crucified will heavily pay the price for teaching lies and deceiving people. The Sabbath commandment to keep it holy was never abolished by God. It is still valid until Jesus returns, and beyond. Readers, why do you think Jesus told us to pray that our flight will not occur during the winter or on the Sabbath when...

ALL ABOUT THE HEART

Readers, do you know that when Jesus or Yahweh returns He will not only judge us by our deeds, but He will judge us first by the intention behind our deeds? Do we know that? Do you know that? If our intention is bad, God will send us straight to hell, no detour!  “Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man [was] great in the earth, and [that] every intent of the thoughts of his heart [was] only evil continually. And the LORD was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart. So the LORD said, "I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth, both man and beast, creeping thing and birds of the air, for I am sorry that I have made them. But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.” Genesis 6:5-8. God looked at the intent of their hearts. They were evil. And God drowned them all! Whether you believe that Jesus had died for us on the cross or not makes no difference. If the intent of our hearts is bad, we go straight to hell, body ...

THE TRIAD OF SALVATION
