Deadly fallacy

Mat 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.


The will of the Father.


The Father's kingdom will come.


Today I read an article that was a bit disturbing. The article talked about a mega superstar preacher who seems to believe that everyone will be in the kingdom of heaven- without exception. He believes there is a new Christianity on its way and the old hell-fire and damnation is a thing of the past. It makes me incredibly sad to read things like this because I know who is behind it all- the great deceiver.


How can anybody read this…


Mat 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.


… and believe everyone will be in the kingdom of heaven no matter what, that there is no eternal result to not repenting of sin and accepting Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior.


Who can read this…

Ecc 12:13

Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter
Fear God, and keep his commandments
- for this is the whole duty of man.


… and believe that man can do whatever he pleases and he will be in the kingdom of heaven.


Who can read this…


Joh 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.


…. And believe that those who are NOT born again will be in the kingdom of God?


Who can read this…


Joh 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.


… and believe that you don't really have to believe in an active, living, breathing way and you'll still be saved.


Who can read this…


Eph 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God


….and believe that they don't need an active, living faith in the grace and in the gift of God?


Who can read this…


Mat 13:36 Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field.
Mat 13:37 He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;
Mat 13:38 The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;
Mat 13:39 The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.
Mat 13:40 As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.
Mat 13:41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;
Mat 13:42 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Mat 13:43 Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.


… and believe that the good seed and the tares will both be in the kingdom of heaven?


I could go on and on and on but truly is it necessary? There will be righteous people and wicked people when Christ comes again and they will be separated. The righteous in Christ will go to the kingdom of heaven and the wicked will eventually be burned completely up in the lake of fire and be no more. We are NOT guaranteed the kingdom of heaven just because we are alive, just because we are human beings. This fallacy that is spreading and finding a home in a 'new' sort of Christianity is a deadly fallacy and those who believe the lies will hear these words of Christ our Savior --


Mat 7:23 … I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.


If Jesus is telling us the truth, and He can do nothing but that, then NOT EVERYONE…shall enter into the kingdom of heaven. If some of those saying Lord, Lord are not going to be in the kingdom of heaven how can we ever believe that those who don't even say Lord, Lord, will be in the kingdom of heaven? It's ludicrous.


Who dares to contradict the words of Jesus Himself? Obviously some do and many believe the lies that others are spoon feeding them as they are told they are being fed the truth. It truly saddens me to know that many are being swallowed up by the deception of Satan and lost to the truth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.


May God help us to fully give our hearts, our lives wholly to our Savior. May we truly have the grace of Jesus Christ, may we have His righteousness save us in the purest love that ever existed and still exists and will forever exist in Him.


Amen.
