       The ancient debacle settled
   DIR By: Billy Evmur
       Date: May 1, 2020, 4:32 am
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Are we saved by grace alone through faith as a free gift or by
       works which we have done, either before or after we are saved?
       The bible never contradicts itself in doctrine so how does this
       seemingly endless argument arise, it has tormented the church as
       soon as Paul's footsteps receded from the outskirts of Galatia
       with the arrival of new [seemingly] more authentic apostles.
       The problem arises because a doctrine has been taken out of
       bible. You can't do that, it will knock every other doctrine out
       of kilter and the picture becomes mis-shapen.
       In the 4th century the church, which was the true church but
       with bishops who had usurped the leadership and Headship of
       Christ made a dirty deal with the Roman government which they
       call the "Peace of the church" it was done in secret so we do
       not know all the details. We do know that the Roman government
       stopped persecuting the church and that the church allied itself
       to Rome to undermine and defeat the Byzantine empire ... the
       alliance lasted a good many centuries after and national
       churches to this day are mere puppets of the political power.
       To this day their clergy dress as Roman senators of the 4th
       century. So although they acted secretly if you have spiritual
       eyes you can trace back to where the church committed serious
       sin.
       Now up until this time the church believed in the 1,000 year
       reign of Christ on earth with his saints after His return. But
       Rome also aspired to reign through their empire for a 1,000
       years, in fact Rome was known as the eternal city, but at a
       council of bishops it was declared that the church no longer
       believed this doctrine and it was dropped.

       So how does this effect doctrine of salvation by works which we
       have done vs salvation by free grace alone?
       I count myself a believer in the Sovereign free grace doctrines
       or Reformed doctrines, I believe in bible predestination and
       election and I believe in the eternal security of the saints.
       But I have a bugbear for I have never seen preachers adequately
       deal with certain gospel teachings which do seem to suggest
       those being rewarded are being rewarded for the deeds they have
       done in the body.
       Take for example the LAST JUDGEMENT of Matthew 25 which
       certainly corresponds with the GREAT THRONE JUDGEMENT. We see
       that the righteous sheep on our Lord's right hand are rewarded
       because they fed the hungry and clothed the naked etc.
       Now you have to picture this in your mind.
       We see the Lord gathered together with His holy ones, the word
       for holy ones is sacredos, it can mean either saints or it can
       mean angels. This presented Catholic St Jerome with a dilemma
       for he being sure there was one holy catholic church felt sure
       he had espied her in the righteous sheep. He knew for sure there
       were not 2 churches, both the holy ones who came with the Lord
       and the righteous sheep who the Lord set upon His right hand. So
       he translated sacredos as holy angels and every subsequent
       translator has copied him.
       if the Millennium doctrine had not been dropped St. Jerome would
       have known that this cannot be right. The saints, that is the
       church, cannot possibly the subjects of this judgement for they
       will have been raptured and will have reigned with the Lord in
       heaven for 1, 000 years "so shall they ever be with the Lord."
       whatever judgement the church undergoes it is not this last
       judgement which will determine people's future destiny.
       So who ARE the righteous sheep?
       We have the Lord and His saints, as Paul teaches "when He comes
       to judge the world God will bring us with Him" and we have the
       sheep set at His right hand and the goats on His left. The sheep
       receive an eternal reward because they ministered to the needs
       of the saints.
       This paints a vastly different picture to the one we have been
       passed down through the centuries. We have always supposed that
       just a few shrivelled souls will be saved and vast bulk of
       humanity will be cast into the lake of fire.
       But God has always worked on 2 programs the heavenly one and the
       earthly one. He will create a new heavens and a new earth
       Blessed are they that hunger for righteousness for theirs is the
       kingdom of heaven
       blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth. This
       paints a picture of a much wider mercy than has been believed
       in.
       If thought about soberly it should be the death knell of
       hellfire and damnation preaching, not that I do not believe in
       hell, I do and people should be warned. But I don't believed
       that billions and billions of human souls will be there.

       So who ARE the righteous sheep?
       Billy, I told you who they were. These are people from the
       Nations that survive Daniel's 70th week. They, the sheep are
       those nations that helped Israel (were not Anti-semite) before
       and during this time period. They, the people will live on earth
       in mortal bodies during the millennium. They have accepted Jesus
       or will before their 100 birthday or they will be thrown into
       hell.
       Sounds like you are more Catholic than anything else.

       Of course yours is one of about 57 millions of interpretations
       of Daniel's 70 weeks. I also have told you my opinion of Hal
       Lindsey who you lean so heavily upon.
       The Lord said those sheep had ministered to HIM, that is to say
       they ministered to Christ in those who He called His brethren,
       that is the church not Israel.
       What you say makes God to be so arbitrary in His judgement in
       that of all the "meek of the earth" whose deeds done in the body
       were good [more poignantly] they ministered to Christ by
       ministering to His brethren from since the world was founded, He
       will concede salvation only to that last generation.
       This post is a criticism of the RCC and their doctrines of the
       Last Judgement which were formed during the time that it was
       still recognisably the church. The point I am making is that by
       abandoning the doctrine of the 1,000 year reign on earth they
       compound into one two events. Viz-aviz the 2nd advent and the
       Rapture of the church and the final resurrection of the living
       and dead unto judgement.
       The resurrection of the just [those in Christ] and the last
       judgement are 1, 000 years apart. Since the Protestant church
       has largely followed the RCC in this interpretation and have
       also abandoned the Millennium doctrine they also compound the
       two events.

       Unfortunately for me, I have not read Hal's books and know very
       little about him. He did get into prophecy trouble which
       sidelined him for a lot of people. An NO there are not 57.000
       interpretations of Daniel's 70th week. There are the others that
       interprets the Bible according to their worldviews (such as you)
       and those like me that read the Bible literally, Historically
       and Grammatically which constitutes a majority of the true
       believers.
       Rem, Jesus WAS and IS a JEW. Those who minister to him,
       administer to his people and vise-versa.
       you said:"He will concede salvation only to that last
       generation."  Billy, that would leave out NOAH and His kids,
       Adam and Eve, Moses, KING DAVID?   Your responding to my
       writings without thinking.
       You said:"during the time that it was still recognisably the
       church."   The RCC was  and has never been the considered the
       Church, Jesus Built. That Church is spiritual in nature and
       contains a part of all those true believer's souls.
       The doctrines of the Bible, have never changed....Those of the
       first century were not believing that Jesus would come back
       within a few years...Paul solved that with Galatians...
       You said:"Since the Protestant church has largely followed the
       RCC"  Yes, I agree with you. There are still a minority of
       churches (brick and mortar) tha still follow the Bible as it is
       written although there have been cracks in their so-called
       armour when Israel and the Homosexuals are concerned.
       Satan is hard at work my friend yet, Jesus tells in Mat 24 that
       even the elect could be deceived if it were possible...If they
       are on earth then it would be possible and Only if they are
       still on earth. Thus, His "it would be possible" would become
       impossible when He takes His Church of true Believers into the
       clouds prior to the public knowledge of the "Man of sin", the
       antichrist.
       Yes, it is all Pre-tribulation.

       Your theology is shot through with contradictions. You seem to
       think that the millennium will be a time of persecution. Who is
       going to do the persecuting Blade? you have seen that Antichrist
       is destroyed in the temple at the return of Jesus, you have seen
       that the devil is locked up for a 1,000 years.
       The Jews are not being hunted and slaughtered during the 1,000
       years  they are reigning with Christ in Jerusalem. They will not
       need ministering to, they will not be hungry or in prison.
       I said YOU have said the righteous sheep were those who
       ministered to the Jews during the time of Jacob's trouble but
       Jeremiah says that during that time Israel will be rest and none
       shall make him afraid.
       It is not wise fro you to contradict Jeremiah.
       Moreover you are STILL left with problem I pointed out in the
       opening post viz-a-viz the righteous sheep are rewarded for
       works in that they did feed the hungry and clothe the naked etc.
       In the Great White Throne judgement which comes after the 1,000
       years we see "every man was judged out of those things which are
       written in the books according to their works.
       But the church is made of we who are saved by grace alone
       through faith.

       Billy, I copied your words and placed them here so I can reply
       to them,,, I have not changed them..
       Your theology is shot through with contradictions. You seem to
       think that the millennium will be a time of persecution. Who is
       going to do the persecuting Blade? you have seen that Antichrist
       is destroyed in the temple at the return of Jesus, you have seen
       that the devil is locked up for a 1,000 years.
       First, the aantichrist is NOT destroyed.. He and the False
       Prophet are placed in the Lake of Fire and Brimstone eternally
       at the end of Daniel's 70th week. Yes, according to Rev 19:
       prior to the Battle of Armageddon, the Angels to Heaven throw
       Satan into the bottomless pit for 1,000 years.
       The Millennium is not a time of persecution...There will be no
       wars but only piece. From what I can read from the WORD of GOD,
       Jesus will turn the earth back in time to the days before the
       Patriarchs (before the Flood).
       The Jews are not being hunted and slaughtered during the 1,000
       years  they are reigning with Christ in Jerusalem. They will not
       need ministering to, they will not be hungry or in prison.
       Yes, is the answer to this......The Word of GOD tells us this
       in: Jer 31:34..((KJV)..[color=red]"And they shall teach no more
       every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know
       the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them
       unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive
       their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more."
       [/color]
       I said YOU have said the righteous sheep were those who
       ministered to the Jews during the time of Jacob's trouble but
       Jeremiah says that during that time Israel will be rest and none
       shall make him afraid.
       It is not wise fro you to contradict Jeremiah.
       I did not know I contradicted Jeremiah..for heaven sakes
       Billy,
       Yes, the Sheep are those nations that help Israel and are not
       against her...(i.e. Russia, Iran,Germany, any nation that is
       Anti-Semitic, etc),
       Yes, the Lord will make Israel unafraid during the millennium
       (Jer 30:24). The Jews will have salvation (justification) in
       mortal bodies at this time.... All Jews from every nation that
       survives (the Sheep), the Jews will migrate back to Israel. Even
       Jeremiah tells us [color=red]" I make a full end of all nations
       where I have scattered you" that Jesus will gather all the Jews
       scattered through the earth back to Israel. All nations will
       help Israel in every way.
       [/color]
       Moreover you are STILL left with problem I pointed out in the
       opening post viz-a-viz the righteous sheep are rewarded for
       works in that they did feed the hungry and clothe the naked etc.
       Billy, Rem, there are NO gentile believers on earth at the end
       of Daniel's 70th week.  ONLY SURVIVORS!
       Those Nations of Sheep are not judged at this time, they are
       allowed to live into the millennium for 100 years....At this
       time, they have a choice to accept Jesus Christ or Die or be
       sent to Hell/Hades....Their Children will also have 100 years to
       decide if they accept Jesus Christ....IF Jesus is accepted,
       these people will be able to live for the rest of the
       millennium. It is unclear what will happen to them after the
       Millennium...Will they become saints or will they simply stay in
       mortal bodies on the NEW EARTH (that has NO seas)??
       Commentary on Hell/Hades. At the end of Daniel's 70th week, Hell
       is full of souls that have died prior to the millennium. All of
       these souls are awaiting the White Throne Judgement after the
       1,000 millennium of Jesus Christ Reign on Earth.
       In the Great White Throne judgement which comes after the 1,000
       years we see "every man was judged out of those things which are
       written in the books according to their works.
       But the church is made of we who are saved by grace alone
       through faith.
       All those that are in HELL/Hades will be judged at this
       time....All those that have died during the millennium will be
       judged at this time...It appears those Gentiles (ONLY) that live
       through the Millennium will also be judged at this time.
       The Jews that live in the Millennium and it is apparent that
       includes their children. The Bride of Jesus (His Church) will
       not be judged during this time. They have been given
       Justtification erasing all sins in the eyes of the Lord.....
       The Church was judged at the Bema Seat according to the crowns
       they were wearing..These Crowns are given according to the WORKS
       AFTER their Salvation They will not lose their Justification but
       will be "Ranked" according to their works (again ONLY After
       Salvation)
       I hope this truly does help you Billy...The WORD of GO is very
       specific. WHY? because He has preserved it for all generations.

       The main point of my subject is to show that I believe in a
       wider mercy than is generally taught and to show some of the
       problems that arise from rejecting any doctrine taught in the
       bible i.e the Millennium.
       The problem I have with you are twofold.
       Ist you believe the modern doctrine of a pretribulation rapture,
       you always say you accept as literal the apocalypse and Daniel
       but you won't take as literal the words of Jesus who says His
       coming in the clouds to collect the elect is "after the
       trinbulation of those days...."
       Paul states clearly that Antichrist is slain in the temple when
       the Lord returns, you claim as do all pretribbers that he will
       not be revealed until the church is gone. But when the Lord
       returns he meets his end not his beginning.
       He is the cause of the great tribulation, tribulation or
       troublation or Jacob's trouble is persecution. The picture of it
       is when Jacob fled Laban. Laban was in hot pursuit and Jacob was
       fleeing home into the arms of Esau who [as he thought] had sworn
       to kill him.
       Yet Jacob could not have been safer, he was guarded by mighty
       angels. That is a precise picture of Jacob's trouble when the
       Jews will flee home in panic with the nations in pursuit.
       But in Jeremiah 30 God chides them for being terrified and
       assures them they will be saved, they will be at peace and none
       shall make them afraid.
       God says it is not the man who travails in childbirth but the
       woman, think on that, It is not God's first born son who
       travails but the bride, the church.
       2.You keep repeating the 70 weeks when you say 2/3s of Israel
       will be slaughtered .... you won't find that in Daniel.
       What you will find in Daniel 12 is the same as Jeremiah 30,
       during the great tribulation St Michael will stand up for Israel
       and deliver them.
       Same as Isaiah and Ezekiel and Zechariah and any other prophet,
       God at that time will fight against the nations who come up
       against Israel.
       It is true that Antichrist's final destination is the lake
       nevertheless he is physically slain in the temple when the Lord
       returns.
