What is Salvation?

We have so many ways to describe Salvation based on our own interpretation and even denominations. Some describe it at the cost of their own beliefs sometimes and yet a great many have no understanding of it and don’t try. Could I say that salvation is the saving of a sinner from the consequences of sin through the Grace of Christ and his Father? Sure but it doesn’t really fully describe it for all people. Could I say that it is a gift not earned by works? Sure but that doesn’t really handle all aspects of salvation. Could say it’s being set apart? Sure but again that doesn’t really answer it fully in all eyes. I could even say it’s simply Yeshua and those who seek him and accept his work on Calvary will gain it? Again, sure.. but that doesn’t really answer all questions still.

The problem there is no one verse that says clearly “This is what Salvation should be explained as”. We all take the verses to come to an understanding by a process of gathering different points of reference back to Christ and what the Old Testament covenant was vs the new and come to different facts. What we all know for sure is that Christ is the Catalyst. His work and sacrifice is the beginning and end for it and through Gods Grace, it lays out our foundations for salvation. So why is there so many people on different sides of the table about what is needed? Because mankind needs to feel relevant.

Over 1000 years ago man went through a surge push of intellectual hierarchy even greater than it was during the time of pharisees of Christ day. This push was spawned by continued Roman movement during that time and pagan philosophy. There was this great need for being the smartest person in the room, sorta speak. Murders and burnings took place to gain views that other men were told not to challenge that had nothing to do with Christ nor his gospel and out of it all came the worse thing that could have happened to the Christians… the birth of denominations. Or what I like the call it… the race to claim salvation through who was closer to explaining an infinite God from a finite mind.

Salvation became an entry to club and the only way to get it, was not through Only Grace and Faith in Christ as the Son of the living God and Lord but now you must recite these manmade concepts about the philosophy about how God was made up, the nature of Christ spirit , what a spirit was vs a soul, how the Christ came to be , how he separated himself from his Father, if he ever separated himself from the Father, how he was equal, or how he wasn’t, etc, etc ,etc. Everything from the age of Mary (the need to create a idol of her)to the image of Christ and what the cross or stake looked like that he hung on. None of any of this ever had any control or say over salvation and yet mankind made it this way at the threat of death for so long that even today we stand on ceremony with this concepts and practices. We curse the ground of those who would dare say or change any “Made up concept” by men as if it was required by God himself, and none of it was ever asked of any man during Christ walk on earth nor any disciple before all died. Not one single time was man required to philosophically explain the nature of God and what took place in heaven before time began or any of the million concepts man came up with in their attempts to explain God. Not even on the day of pentecost were these things ask by God to grant salvation nor his Holy Spirit.

So instead of telling you what Salvation is. I can tell you what it isn’t. It isn’t based on a single manmade concept(denominations) created 100’s of years after the Bible was completed and people were already saved and died long before anyone ever said the word “denomination”. And Salvation most definitely didn’t go on vacation until some person recently rediscovered it, claiming that now they are the true people of God and those not of them, aren’t because they found out something about God that others didn’t know. And as soon as mankind can ever come to this conclusions can we finally push way the fog to clearly see that Christ was all we needed, the author and finisher or Faith. It’s not about which philosophy is closest to explaining God. It’s not a contest of who is closest to the answer wins. Nobody has the right explanation no matter who you are because we are finite. Only the infinite can explain the infinite. This is why Christ was needed. Let your salvation begin and end with him and him alone.

Do you seek a relationship with God and His Christ or a Religious philosophy?

For years in my life I has suffered greatly with the most deadly Virus to a Christ Follower. A great many Christ followers today have this virus and don’t even know it. We spread it to others as well without a single thought to it because we got it the same way. It’s in the air of most of the worlds leading denominations and is highly addictive and controlling. It is the very Virus that caused men to seek to Kill the Son of God. That Virus is Religious Philosophy. It was created by Satan and is the very same sin …”Vanity and Pride of life” that led to Satan’s fall. Below is just 1% of the millions of ways man has tried to over complicate, over-analyze every single thing in scripture that God himself never asked us to explain, figure out, recite, or stand on for the Blood of Christ to Save us.

For years upon years of my life, I have spent too much time in books I was told to read to prove trinitarianism, Onenism, Aranism, Binitariianism, bitheism, etc, etc. I’ve seen the so call greatest minds of the Theology from all denominations fight and prove their “so called point of view” so they can call another view false, evil, and many other words I won’t use in this article. And of them all, all I ended up seeing were mere men and women with selfish or bias directions towards their denomination in order to seem more educated than the others….basically modern day Pharisees are they all once you step back and look all of them objectively. They all claimed their teaching helped people avoid false beliefs and make sure people find salvation, all the while teaching people that the Blood of Christ and the Faith in Christ being Lord, the Son of God, Died, and yet risen is not enough by their extra teachings.

Now you can’t just say Christ raised Lazarus up from the dead like the Bible says. You have to explain how that happened and where that power came from…you can’t just believe he is the Son of God …you have to be able to explain if he came out from Father body or not, had his own body, had a full beard or half beard, was black, was 5 foot 10inch, had brown eyes or blue. And anything different from what they theorize means you believe in a different Jesus and therefore your salvation doesn’t count.

You also must say specific statements about need to use words like “persons”, “manifestations” and have conclusions about their Personal Theories of God and how his Son and how they operate. You must tell them what happen before time begin as well and that you need to confess that their Church, belief system, or People need to be recognized as being right in ALL the things they say, even if the Bible never says them and then finally believe all other denominations (that already have Christ as their Lord and Savior)to be evil, and all of this must be in place if the Blood of Christ is to work or if you are to be one of them… which by default means you’re of God and if not one of them…then you are not of God( but they sometimes won’t say this …they will just imply it to avoid the appearance of evil). Now it’s about a race to see who can come up with the most believable theory about how God and Son became what they are or what it means to be them, etc, etc ( something that God nor his Son ever asked of their followers to do) and whoever is the closest( while still confessing nobody can understand fully the Father or Son and it will take an eternity to truly know him) wins the prize for the right to have the Blood of Christ actually redeem them.

What you will find is that the more you study and the more you learn( if done unbiased) that every single denomination has holes in their belief because they are trying to add things that are not required nor meant to be required by our Father or his Son, the Christ. And every single time man does this, they create their own rules and requirements that turn their religion into impossible set of false steps and prideful hypocritical beliefs and actions that only shadow the great and wonderful Grace and Sacrifice granted by Christ’s suffering, death, and resurrection. And when this happens other sins follow, from Pride, Idolatry to False worship, and hypocrisy. This attaches to the virus and spreads into it’s members and sooner or later you will find that the group, church , or people all create a hive mentality or Tribalistic structure that lead to a God they create and not the God that sent his Son to redeem and save us through faith and grace.

And so my answer I’ve learned is get back to our first Love….Christ and his mercy and grace because this is what is going to save us, not if we identify with all the philosophy of mankind’s prideful attempts to dissect God and his Son. Follow the Bible…yes, Quote the Bible…yes, and Keep your Vision on Christ by obeying ALL of his commandments…YES. You are not required to work out “HOWs” and “WHYs” for Faith to work. You don’t have to agree with mans philosophy and theories that have created every single denomination that has divided Christ Church for thousands of years. God grace and our eternal life with him will be the time we will need to understand the fullness of what, how, and the why’s of God and his Son.

Social Media: The Fuel Source of the upcoming god.

How many times must we see the damage that Social media is doing to our society before we act? How many related deaths, fueled opinions that destroy our morals, and redefined simple truths(even simple biology) must we be forced to swallow before we fight back against this new god. People no longer care about what the bible teaches, they care about what is allowed or not allowed on social media as the popular view in order to maintain its approval to avoid being canceled. This new age says it’s about freedom and equality but what it really teaches is advantages to anything it needs to push and the destruction of anything that stands opposite to its agenda. Yes, you have freedom to believe in any religion but you better not express your belief in anything that exposes others to a mirror of truth, revealing its ugly nature and ultimate direction in the eyes of Jehovah. Even Babylon, the great (“the city of seven hills”) has revealed its true nature by compromising the simple and clear will of Jehovah through its actions finally. The time of great distress is soon to come upon all those who hold on to Christ and his Father’s Commandments. The World has been programmed successfully into the image of the beast and the world that the Bible warned us about. Yes, that same world that seemed so far from what we saw growing up, is here. A great divide is in the works. Women against Men, more and more Men seeking to avoid marriage, Children disregard for parents as families are no longer rightly divided(even Christ follows his given role while Women believe they don’t have to), and Elderly people ignored and delegated from wisdom sources and stabilizers to child-like problems, disturbed, or burdensome. Yes, the time of the Anti-Christ is here. The time of the world celebrating when the Two Witnesses are murdered is here just as the Word of God predicted. They will hunt you as they already hunt Jehovah’s Witnesses in other countries and it will become legal to do so in our Country as in those Countries very soon. We all have to decide on which side of the fence we stand on. It’s going to be hard enough to fight our own sins but when you live in a world that brainwashed its people to believe that they aren’t sinning and they can create their own truths…what you have is a reprobated World and that’s the world Revelation predicted 2,000+ years ago and unfortunately, there isn’t a thing we can do to stop this. This has all got to come to pass. What we have to do is fight to remain separated from it, work on removing any of our sins in our lives, and stand prepared for the World that is soon to come for all of us if we refused to conform to it.

The World Gathers/Attacks Jehovah Witnesses, YOU ARE NEXT.

Wake up, people! The world gathers in number against all that stands against Sin. You can continue to lie to yourself and claim “Them” not “US” all you want but the fact is, Jehovah’s Witness still to this day holds on to living under God’s commandment and open stand on their beliefs in the direction opposite of the Sin and what’s popular to the World better than most so-called Traditional Churches today. They don’t believe in War or picking up arms against another and don’t seek to take part in paganistic rituals most so-called Christ-followers have willingly accepted in their lives and this is the true reason why they are a threat. They are not a threat to anyone and have a right to stand on their faith and yet the world is taking their homes, refusing to allow them to go to school, throwing them in prison, and killing them. The world hates them because they remind them of their faults and sins. Other Christians turn their back away from the things that are happening to them because they have convinced themselves that they are the Bad ones and deserve it simply because they don’t believe in the man-mind, Council of Nicaea force “theory” called “The Trinity”. And yet they all forget that the world will do the same to them( if they ever actually live for Christ, like they claim). “The World will hate you because it hated me first” was Christ’s own statement. He also reminded us that if the world hasn’t turned against us it’s because we are still acting like one of them because they love their own. Stand up and claim that God is real, Stand up and claim that ONLY Christ is the way to the Father and the ONLY source of Salvation, Stand up and claim that Homosexuality is a sin, or that Santa Claus isn’t real to kids, then you are a bad person…you are a threat. Then you will be Canceled and hunted down. But we don’t see this. WHY? Because we have become compromised with the world’s view. There is nothing that separates a Christ-follower from another person in their walk, actions, or words in their daily lives anymore and yet the Scripture clearly shows you it should be. It’s a shame that the world spends more time lying to kids and trying to justify Santa Claus and greed of gifts than it does Witnessing about Christ. The whole world is in the power of the Evil One and only those going along with his direction are considered a non-threat to the world. So understand this…if they turn on Jehovah’s Witnesses, as peacefully as they are, they will also come for you(that is… if you truly stand by Christ in not just your words but in your actual actions).

I finally see the impossible task….

I have tried to honor God with all that I have said on this site. So much time and effort place into into it and so many experiences have shown me two trues above all others for this physical world and those are that people do not want truth and that knowing and “fully” coming up with a denomination that has the right concept of who God is impossible to find because nobody and I truly mean nobody, has all trues about God. Trinity, Oneness, Arianism, etc,etc, all can’t fully explain him or his Son’s connection or justify scripture that place the Son subordinate to the Father, yet still maintaining that he is God having yet another God over him, while dealing with OT telling us over and over there will be no God made or that exist beside him while calling us gods, but yet there is only one spirit of a God while claiming they claim need for yet another Spirit person called Holy Spirit which isn’t name, proving that it might not be a person after all, but then what do you do with the Baptism that gives the formula of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, only to have every single baptism done in Jesus name ,then explain away the other 7 Spirits of God in Revelation and yet no thrown seat for the Holy spirit or presence show in a revelation as a person or being, etc, etc.

Look, I mean I could go on and on. Sure man can give theories and theology to explain away things but the Hard truth is that the Bible isn’t theology and until the Bible actually explains away these trues word for word then theories are meaningless because everyone has them and yet has no more proof than another to show theirs are without flaw. Theology will forever be the playground in which mere men play around and make up things to try and seem more knowledgeable than another when it comes to explaining the infinite from a finite mind, which is impossible. My conclusion to all of this is be without theology. It is the source of all confusion because a finite mind can never come close to explaining the eternal. So get this in your mind…no matter what you believe in inside, theory to theology… it is still wrong. If 2+3=5 but I put down 4 and you put 3, we both are wrong unless you full have the right answer. So to parade around as if ones denomination is right over another is foolish and dangerous because no matter what concept you make up or believe you are still wrong once you try and come up with concepts and theories about the Bible and are nowhere near the truth that only the Son has about the Father and the Father that’s about the Son. Sticking to the word is the clearest advice I can ever give you and ABOVE ALL OTHER THINGS ..remember your salvation has never been based on your ability to explain why and how God or how and why his Son is, only that they are. If God says let us make man in our image, then that is what he said…period. It isn’t required that you come up with or accept theories called trinity or anything else to help God out. Until God says the Us was Me and my Son and Holy Spirit, you can’t push this as fact or requirements for salvation to justify your need to believe in the theory called the trinity. And when Isaiah 9:6 says that his Name will be called Everlasting Father, but then Yeshua cries out and dies after his Father abandons him while cursed on the tree, you can’t theorize that a Christ wasn’t suffering and forsaking truly and was talking to himself and only quoting scripture until Christ himself says “oh yeah I was just faking and talking to myself and lying about the whole abandoning statement Oneness people. Christ Died and was dead in the heart of the earth 3 days and 3 nights as he said, not in heaven so we can’t just make believe 3 nights weren’t factual because we want to preach that he died on Friday for traditional churches. And Jehovah Witnesses, you can’t say he had a different body when he had the same holes and wounds unless you trying to say that Christ was being deceiving not can you include he was Micheal until The word says “Christ was Micheal”. Nor can you act like Isaiah 9:6 doesn’t use capitalization for God..while you justify use of “god” for John 1.

Finally, if your denomination isn’t mention it doesn’t mean anything different for you. From Mormons to Seven day, to even COC or UCG, every single group, you are including in this or other ways. Bottom line, NOBODY has the perfect denomination with the absolute truth, so let’s put the theories away and just let the Bible speak without the need to conceptualize it and theorize it. And if it says things that are different or tough, allow it to be so with the understanding that infinite knowledge can only be understood with infinite minds, not finite ones.

Don’t turn the Disciples letters into mysticism

The Bible contains many books and many messages and themes, to this we all can agree on. But dividing the word correctly is something most claim they do but rarely succeed on. The Song of Solomon for example was written by a Solomon, who at the time of this writing was not of God. He is a defeated man who God moves away from because he turned to others gods due to the wives he had taken. And due to the alienation from the God’s will the Song of Solomon was a book written by a man outside of a Gods will and depressed and suffering because of this exile. This is why the theme of this book represents a “meaningless life” and his view about Death without God in his life, a sort of doomed point of view. Well some people and even religious groups try and quote Songs of Solomon as to follow it without that understanding. They believe statements found in it should be the views all people should have on life and death. They use it try and prove that there isn’t consciousness after death and nor Hades or even Hell, even though the Living Son of God gave his very disciples parables about such a place, even though Moses and Elijah meet with and spoke to Christ long after their death.

Then we have the other extremes, who take something a simple as Philemon and trying breakdown how times certain words were used and or what word started the book and ended the book. Then they take it and add the number 7 to it and come up with all these crazy theological theories to make themselves seem smart and swear that somehow the Bible was actually speaking about their denomination being the only true one. When in fact, the only reason Philemon is in the Bible is because they found the author to be Paul and it further gave examples of love and forgiveness. That book isn’t some hidden measure code that only Spiritual gifted people can truly understand. It was a letter folks! It’s not some mystical magic decipher that gives proof of some hidden message.

We have to stop trying to make the Bible out to be something more than what it was meant. Where there books that have prophecy? Yes! They were written for that purpose, like Revelations. Is there a deeper meaning to the eagle, lion, and bear? Yes, again. But not all books are prophecy books that need decoding. Some books, especially by most disciples were just letters to the church or their fellow brothers. When they said “greetings from our God and to his Son Christ”, that’s what they meant. Two different people, being greeted at the same time, God and his Son, this is what is said and meant, nothing more. Word for word statements like this have been mangled so much that most Christians spend more time trying to come up with theories to complicate scripture, especially when said scriptures kills this assumed denominational forced feed theories about a who God is and how God is. Be very careful of such groups of people and churches or even organizations. They may mean well and some may even be living a better example of Christianity than most on the outside but mud is still mud. Unnecessary additions to the thoughts and subjects of Letters or books only hurt the overall foundation.

Conclusion:

If you really want to put things together even more, go find a old letter or nice size email that you have wrote in the past and look for the same mystical patterns and ways most denominations try and read more into the Bible than what is said. See if you can’t also do the same thing and yet you know you only meant what you said, it was just a letter or email, no mystery required. When you wrote it, you didn’t give thought to the first word or last word in the letter or email. You didn’t count how many times you used “Faith” throughout your letter or email. You didn’t want or need for any other measure to be present other than that which is already spelled out in the letter word for word. So just rightly divide word and be careful not to allow theories of meanings corrupt your mind about His word.
