ANSWERS TO
“INFORMATION ALL CHRISTIANS SHOULD KNOW”
|
|
YES |

|
Do
Christians follow Christ? No. Christians
are followers of Paul (1Corinthians 11:1). If we followed Christ we
would be pork abstaining, Saturday worshipping, temple attending Jews
attempting to keep the laws and commandments of the Sermon on the Mount
for our salvation (Matthew 5-6), and all the while, going up to a
Jewish temple to sacrifice animal blood for the remission of
our past sins (Romans 3:25). As a
Christian, we have redemption from all sins – past, present and
future. As Christians we follow Christ as the apostle Paul does, while
being conformed to the image of God’s Son (Romans 8:29). |

Are the
kingdom of heaven and the kingdom of God the same? No. The
kingdom of heaven (Matthew chapters 5-7) is one of pure works that
Christ came to set up … that is, Christ’s kingdom from heaven for
Israel on earth. The kingdom of God is obtained not of works
(Ephesians 2:8-9). |
|
No |

Are the
words “LORD” and “Lord” interchangeable? No. The word “LORD”
represents the LORD God Jehovah in the Old Testament (Isaiah
12:2; Isaiah 26:4), while the word “Lord” is the Lord
Jesus Christ in the New Testament (Acts 16:31). Both are the same
person but are different titles for different dispensations. |

Are there
any Christians in chapters 1-28 in the Book of Matthew? No. Christians
are followers of Paul (1Corinthians 11:1) as Christ was not a
Christian. If we follow Christ we would still be pork abstaining,
Saturday worshipping, temple attending Jews
attempting to keep the laws and commandments of the Sermon on the
Mount for our salvation (Matthew 5-6). Furthermore, we would be
going up to a Jewish temple to sacrifice animal blood for the remission
of our past sins (Romans 3:25). As a
Christian, we will be conformed to the image of God’s Son, the Son of
God (Romans 8:29), but as a Christian, we follow the Apostle Paul with
his doctrine found in the books of Romans through Philemon. Until
Christ died on the cross, no-one could be Spirit baptised into his
death as a Christian (Acts 11:26; 1Corinthians 12:13). |

Is the
following correct … “In the beginning God created the heavens and the
earth”? No. The word
is “heaven” (Genesis 1:1) and is the ‘backdrop’, the ‘landscape’,
that is, the ‘total space of the universe’ into which God places
the three heavens … Paul was taken up to the third heaven for
his revelations (2Corinthians 12:2). To have a
Bible that says “heavens” is to leave the door open to a pagan
god/‘creator’ from another religion, to bring heaven into being. The
‘bibles’ that have the word “heavens”, worship a sovereign god and
not the Almighty God who is far more powerful. If you
have a bible that has “heavens” you probably call god sovereign
not Almighty. Dear Christian, God is Almighty. God hates being
called sovereign. The word “sovereign”
is a made-up word not found in The King James Bible. |

Is the
Book of Hebrews written to backslidden Christians? No. The Book
of Hebrews is not written to Christians. It is written to those
Jews that had come away from the law of Moses and were believing on
Christ the Messiah, but had not yet become Christians by believing on
the Messiah as their Saviour. The
analogy is this, that the Hebrew that Paul addresses in his book, is
like a baseball player on third base being urged to run home …
on third he is an unsaved Messiah believing Jew, but if
he gets to home base he will become a Christian with the Lord Jesus
Christ as his Saviour. |

Do the
words “believeth” and “believe” mean the same? No. The ending
“-eth”, a suffix, that if attached to the word “believe”,
means a present, continuous and on-going belief … that
is all the time without a let-up. Till
Christ died, this is what they had to do (John 3:16), otherwise they
would lose their salvation (John 6:66). The jailer
only had to believe once (Acts 16:31). |
|
No |

Are
Christians to follow the Sermon on the Mount instructions given by
Christ? No. The Sermon
on the Mount, given by Christ, was an impossible set of rules and
commandments that Christ knew no-one could keep for their salvation. They were
like the ten commandments of the Old Testament … impossible to
keep! But Christ said he would keep them on their behalf … being
God in the flesh (Matthew 19:26; 1 Timothy 3:16; John 3:16). |

Is “agape”
love God’s love? No. The
difference between the words “agape” and “phileo” only exists in the
minds of scripture twisting Greek dreamers caught up in the vanity
of their own mind like the unsaved (Ephesian 4:17). Furthermore,
they just hate being subject to the infallible, perfect, inerrant and
inspired English of the King James Bible. They love
the wriggle room that the Greek gives them. The words “agape” and
“phileo” are interchangeable … DO THE TEST! |

No |

Is there
the slightest possibility that a Christian can lose their salvation? No. “But what
if I, as a Christian, commit the ultimate ‘unforgiveable’ sin
of denying Christ?”. It’s still “No!” You’ll get weak and
sickly and even die but you’ll go home to heaven (1Corinthians 11:30). Also Dear
Reader, read Romans chapter six for a full understanding as to
why a Christian cannot lose their salvation. |
