STUDY THE
BIBLE 69s (STB-69s)
DID THE
OT SAINTS HAVE ETERNAL SECURITY?
It has been said that all error and heresy comes from misunderstanding the blood. Like the
tentacles of an octopus, many preachers and teachers in the past, have
combated
heresy by attempting to cut off the tentacles of heresy eg Mormonism,
Roman
Catholicism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Seventh Day Adventism and all the
other
“-isms”, BUT THEY HAVE IGNORED the ink sac in the head of the octopus
labelled “THE IGNORANCE OF SHED BLOOD OF
THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.”
Dear Reader, please don’t get me wrong - this approach
produces results!
For example, we’ve all seen the two columns concerning Hinduism. The
first
column has “What the Hindus believe” and the second column has “What
the
Christian Believes”. Fantastic! Great! Worthwhile! But this is only one
way the Christian can start to learn his Bible and actually find out
what he
believes by seeing the error in all the other religions.
Now, within the broad Christian denominational framework
eg Methodists, Presbyterians, Baptists
and so on, delineation and detection, starts to get a little bit finer.
For
example, one of the founders of Methodism, John Wesley, would never
preach
anything but the shed blood to get saved with water baptism nowhere to
be seen.
However while strong on the blood to get saved, the Methodists
believed you could lose it. Presbyterians,
coming from the reformed angle, said you couldn’t.
However, the error that popped up for the Presbyterian, was the satanic
heresy
of Calvinism, which said that free will was an anathema and that man
could only
get saved if God had selected you.
The writer of this tract, knows a lady whose husband is
teetering on the
brink of hell, but praying for his salvation would be useless, because
believing Calvin, she thinks God has already selected him to be saved
before
the foundations of the world or he hasn’t.
To their credit however, Baptists, have tended to steer
clear of this
‘salvation selection lotto’, in that God has given man a free will. But
because
of other errors in Baptist doctrine, Calvinism is now creeping into
Baptist
Churches everywhere.
Within Baptist circles, Independent Baptists are separate
from the
Baptist Union. Bible Baptists are separate again and are divided into
King
James Bible users and those that believe it is the inspired, inerrant,
infallible words of God. Now, Satan being the master of deception, sits
down
and has a little think to himself. “Now
Your Satanic Cleverness,” he says to himself, “how can
we introduce error into the various religions? Mmmm! I know,
I’ll get them to misunderstand the blood! Let’s see - 1.
The Mohammedans are OK – they don’t have anything to do with
Jesus and his blood. 2. I’ve got the
Jew because Jesus, for them, hasn’t
come yet and they are still fiddling around with animals blood 3. The Romans Catholics believe that
the priest can say ‘hocus pocus’ and change the grape juice into the
actual
blood of Jesus 4. The historical Lutherans
aren’t much better, in that
while they don’t believe it is the actual blood of Jesus like the
Catholics, it
still has his presence in it. 5.
With the Methodists I’ve done a good
job, because they believe that Jesus blood can get you saved but it
can’t give
you eternal security 6. I’ve got the
Presbyterians believing Jesus
couldn’t shed his blood for the whole world 7. The Hindus, Bahais are no trouble because
they’re
off with the fairies 8. The Mormons use
a type of Jesus’ blood as a starter motor in a car, you know, it’s no
longer
useful after the journey begins 8.
But I got to tell you, these Bible
believing Baptists, you know, the ones that actually believe the 1611 AV
– man! They are a real problem. How can I
feed them error??!!
A MEETING BETWEEN SATAN AND HIS DEVILS
So Satan has a Bex (a headache pain tablet) and a cup of
tea, gives
himself an uppercut (a boxing term and used as an Australian idiom for
clearing
the head; getting rid of the cobwebs in the brain; coming to your
senses;
getting your head straight; being slapped in the face to bring a person
back to
reality … and so on) and goes and has a good lie down. He suddenly
wakes up!
That’s it! Boing! Ding! The light goes on!
“The blood! The blood! Why didn’t I think about it
before! I’ll get them to equate the blood in the Old Testament as equal
to the
blood in the New. Animal blood in the Old is as good as Jesus’ blood in
the
New!”
“Throw in the one about Abraham seeing the
day of Jesus,” added one of his devils excitedly.
“Very good, little minion” replied Satan, “In fact, I’ll
get them believing
Abraham saw Jesus, not just his day. You know, a Prophet will come and
all
that.”
“But won’t they see the verse which says “For the
life of the
flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the
altar to make
an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that
maketh an
atonement for the soul?” (Lev 17:11)
“So what?”
said Satan.
“Well
obviously Master, it’s only the
blood that makes atonement for the soul and in this case, animal
blood,
being physical, was only ever temporary, and their sins were only
covered and
not washed away and therefore there was only ever temporary salvation.”
“I know
that grasshopper!” scowled Satan
“that’s why they had to keep sacrificing animals, you fool! Any
numbskull knows
that!”
“You’re
correct, your Malevolence.”
“Furthermore,
you small, insignificant and
germy little grasshopper, they won’t be able to see that Korah and his
little
merry band of party crashers, went straight down to hell!”
“But Master, doesn’t it just say ‘the
pit’?”
“You giant drongo – ‘the pit’
is ‘the nether parts of the earth’, ‘in
the midst of hell’, and ‘hell’ (Ezek 31) itself!”
“But your Evilness, weren’t Jews covered by the blood?
Didn’t God just
send them to Abraham’s bosom, to be picked up eventually by Jesus and
then
taken to heaven? Doesn’t it just mean that when “…the earth
opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their houses, and
all the men that appertained unto Korah, and all their
goods.
They, and all that appertained to them, went down alive into
the pit, and
the earth closed upon them: and they perished from among the
congregation…”
(Num 16:32-33) they went
down alive into Abraham’s bosom?”
“You
imbecilic,
giant, steaming nit, don’t you read your Bible anymore!? Does this
sound like a
loving act of God that “…all Israel that were
round about
them fled at the cry of them: for they said, Lest the earth swallow us
up also.
And there came out a fire from the LORD,
and consumed the two hundred and fifty men that offered incense.” (Num
16:34-35)
“But
surely your
Hatefulness, weren’t the Jews covered by animals’ blood? Weren’t they
promised
Abrahams’ bosom when they died?”
“Dearest
Pea
Brain, where oh where, please tell me, does it ever say that in the
Bible? Oh
monstrous Buffoon, they never had any eternal security being covered by
animals
blood! Pure lambs’ blood was physical, albeit as sinless as you could
get, but
it could not wash away their sins as it was temporary only!!! Jesus
Christ had
not died! They didn’t know about Jesus Christ! Jesus Christ had not
shed his
blood! People could not have their sins washed away and be put into the
death
of Jesus and have eternal security! Their consciences could not be
purged!
Dear
O Dear O Deary me! It’s a
thankless task
educating all you stupid devils! Does this sound like Israel, covered
with
animals’ blood, had eternal security when God says to them? “…for
thou hast discovered thyself to another than me, and art gone
up; thou
hast enlarged thy bed, and made thee a covenant with them; thou
lovedst
their bed where thou sawest it. … and didst send thy messengers
far off,
and DIDST DEBASE THYSELF EVEN UNTO HELL. (Is 57:8-9)” And again
you Dills: “And they
shall go
forth, and look upon the carcases of the men that have transgressed
against me:
for their worm shall not die, NEITHER SHALL THEIR FIRE BE QUENCHED; and
they
shall be an abhorring unto all flesh.”
(Is 66:24). In
addition, Nitwits, Therefore
my people are gone into captivity, because they have no
knowledge: and
their honourable men are famished, and their multitude dried up
with
thirst. Therefore HELL HATH ENLARGED HERSELF, and opened her mouth
without
measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he
that
rejoiceth, shall descend into it. (Is
5:13-14)
“No
Master, your
Nastiness be praised!” they all replied in unison.
‘Now,
Stupid Ones,
is it just possible that you could tell me what you have learnt today?”
“Oh, yes
Master!”
“What
then!!!?”
“Errrr …
errr…”
nervously looking at each other.
“OiOiOiOiOiOiOi!
I
give up you Brainless Ones. I’m sick and tired of the lot of you.
As of now,
I’m
kicking you out into the world. Pleeeaasssse - if you don’t remember
anything
else, work at getting people to
misunderstand the blood – especially those blood loving Bible
Believing
Baptists! Pea under the cup! Switcheroo my little Fiends! We must not
fail to
nobble Jesus somehow! Deception is the
key! It’s the spiritual! GOD IS
HANDICAPPED TO WORK IN THE CHURCHES IF THEY DOWNGRADE THE BLOOD OF JESUS
but they don’t have a clue what’s going on! Agree with them – it’s the
shed
blood of Jesus plus nothing else that saves them … BUT
HIS BLOOD IS NO MORE
IMPORTANT THAN ANIMAL BLOOD! Got it?!
Now,
someone get
me a Panadol (headache and pain reliever). I have to go and lie down –
I have a
really bad migraine! Class Dismissed.”
(Clang!
Clang! The 3pm bell sounds for school to be let out)
