ACCURATE
BIBLE
KNOWLEDGE!
ANSWER:
“PUT THEM INTO SEPARATE BOXES”
There are no verse
collisions in the
Bible … IF YOU PUT THEM IN THEIR RIGHT CATEGORY! They all fit
together
like a perfect 800,000 piece jigsaw.
Q: “Does a
male have to be circumcised today to be saved?”
A: “Duh! Of
course not … everyone knows that is Old Testament!”
Pick-A-Box
was a Quiz Show on Australian TV sixty years ago. Bob and Dolly were
the first
Americans to host an Australian TV quiz show. We’d never seen anything
like it.
Bob was brash and confident, and had a close cropped moustache with a
slicked
back receding hairline. Dolly was Bob’s wife … a perfect and always
agreeable
hostess with her faced permanently creased from smiling too much.
John gets
to choose from about ten boxes on various topics/subjects.
John the
contestant:
“I’ll
choose Religion box, Bob”
Bob: “Here’s
the question John … Do you want to go to
the kingdom of heaven when you die?”
John the contestant:
“Absolutely”
Bob: “Oh I’m
sorry John … that’s the wrong answer. No
chocolates for you today John or holiday on Magnetic island. Do you
agree
Dolly?
(Magnetic
Island is a popular resort off the coast of Queensland)
Smiling Dolly: “Oh yes
Bob!”
Just then
Clint Eastwood appears from nowhere, steps up to John and growls …
“Well what
is it Punk? Is it the kingdom of heaven or kingdom of God?”
John nervously
changes his answer: “Kingdom of God?
Please don’t shoot!”
(John
didn’t know why, but he put two and two together, realizing that giving
the ‘the
kingdom of heaven’ answer again, would just get himself shot)
Clint: “Correct!
You want to go to the kingdom IN heaven
not the kingdom of heaven. The latter no longer exists!”
Confused and
relieved, a perplexed looking John then looks into the camera and
whispers to
the TV audience “Phew! That was close! I don’t have a clue!”
Clint: “And don’t
you forget it. Christ came from the
kingdom in heaven to
set up the physical kingdom of heaven on
earth with the impossible Sermon on the Mount rules that he would keep
on
Israel’s behalf. Chalk and cheese John!”
John, like 99.99%
of today’s ‘Christians, didn’t have a clue about the differences
between the kingdom
of heaven and the kingdom of God.
Millions
pour into hell. Dear Reader, misunderstanding verse placement in the
King James
Bible has sent countless people into hell. Why? They will not discern
the
different eras, dispensations and time frames.
When
preaching on the street last Monday, a man came up and stated to me
that we all
have to get back to the Sermon on the Mount to live right, and among
other
things, he said there was no hell. It dawned on me that he wasn’t
saved. He was
an unsaved SDA who just wanted to live right. He was sincere … but
sincerely
wrong.
I pointed
out to him that the set of rules, the kingdom of heaven rules, in
Matthew
5-7 were impossible to keep, but Christ would keep them perfectly
on
Israel’s behalf. This would show them that he was God. Till Christ
died, they
would go to Abraham’s Bosom and await the risen Christ to pick them up
and
taken into heaven … that is the kingdom of God.
The man I
was talking to was clueless of the difference between the kingdom of
heaven and
the kingdom of God. He left rather suddenly to cross at the lights. He
was just
another Seven Day Adventist … and one heart beat from hell, and going
to a
place he didn’t believe existed. “What’s this I’m burning! I’m in hell!
This
place doesn’t exist! I believed this place didn’t exist!”
2 Timothy 2:15
