first, to set the record straight... what the world sees on TV that
is passed off for Christianity is by and large, hogwash. its nothing
more than fast talking multi-millions with the gift of gab
psychologically manipulating large crowds into filling the collection
trays with their life savings... under the pretense that they're doing
" God's work. "
also, the idea that " God loves everybody " and is desperately
wanting unbelievers to " accept Jesus " is hogwash. direct statements
from God Himself to His prophets as recorded in the Bible declare
without apology that God hates the wicked as well as their ways... you
can look that up in your own Bibles in Ps. 5:4-6.
no one accepts Jesus Christ unto salvation except if God has
recorded that person in His Book of Life which was completed before
Creation. its just a matter of history passing by that He calls those
whom He's chosen to be the heirs of the salvation purchased by Christ.
Jesus Christ did not pay the penalty of the sins of all mankind...
it is this idea from which the TV Evangelists foundation their stage
acts. if they can manipulate one into thinking God is going to fix
all of ones troubles by telling them Christ paid the penalty of their
sins if only they would believe, then the hootin' and hollerin' life
style these Fundamentalists think is salvation can be yours, too.
the fact that Jesus Christ did not pay the penalty for the sins of
the whole world is evidenced throughout the Bible. for example, only
eight persons were saved from the Flood while uncounted hundreds of
thousands were not. and for the record, it was determined by God a
hundred years before the Flood that all but these eight persons would
be saved... the rest were determined by God not to be saved.
these Fundamentalists try to brainwash people into thinking Christ
died for these, too, which makes God a punisher of the good and the
bad.
getting back to matters... its not necessary to ' brainwash '
someone into being a child of God. it is entirely God's doing that He
is found of those who do not seek Him. salvation belongs to the Lord.
Ps. 3:8
in like manner, as some poster demonstrates, he is turned off by all
the hoopla these professional religionist types make concerning their
presentation of what they think salvation and Christianity is all
about. rightly so. but his idea doesn't take into account that why
teach children the laws of the land; acceptable social behavior; or
even right from wrong. in other words, you are brainwashed if you're
being taught the God of the Bible but you're not brainwashed if you
are taught Agnosticism. duh.
throughout the millennia of time it took to write the Bible there
has been but an extremely limited number of people who were ever
brought to salvation by God causing them to be saved. these are so
extremely conservative you'll be hard pressed to find one on TV. you
will not see a statue of Mary on their lawn; they do not speak in
tongues; they find that rock and roll music and Jesus do not mix; they
do not go door to door saying God desperately wants you to be saved
since He die for your sins...
that idea teaches others that Christ failed at Calvary since many
more will go to Judgement then will ever be counted... how can you
stand in Judgement if your sins are forgiven and forgotten ?
quite simply, if your name is not written in the Book of Life you
will never be saved... God says so, not me. Rev. 20:12
