- Lexi interviews Bishop Carlton Pearson along side with Bishop George Bloomer, Bishop Van Gayton and Pastor Jamal Bryant. Bishop Pearson discusses his highly controversial theology of "The Gospel of Inclusion".
Notice how calm and reserved bishop is. When you have peace with your beliefs.
That does not make it truth. Carlton was teaching heresy.
The unfortunate thing here is there is so much truth mixed in lies that a believer without spiritual discernment will not know what to believe. Individually seek Christ for answers in earnest.
vocalcoachadonis I agree it’s kinda manipulating the mind to be confusing. Those that are babes wouldn’t know what to believe
Angela Stocker
the wheat and tare shall grow up together.
Amen! Amen! Discernment is everything!
Thank you Bishop Carlton Pearson you have confirmed the very thing that I have had before God!!!
I love it that Lexi Loves Pearson no matter what. I truly believe that Pearson is speaking that truth!
He is sincerely very wrong and confused in his reasonings.
OMG!! I love what Bishop Carlton just said. I am a person that was hurt by the church. I agree with every word he just said on this video. I feel the people commenting in a negative way about him should listen to what he is saying. Jesus took away the sins of the world...but they dont know it yet..and we must tell them....but what is done? ....more things are added to the message... it gets clouded. Thank your Carlton for breaking it down.
So then why preach? The world doesn't need to know if everyone is saved. When you die you'll be good. So he's preaching to make money? You don't have tell people to breathe. That's a natural process. So then everyone is saved then they're good, so need for preaching. The bible also says that people need to be converted and be saved.
@@DefiisDaWayPreaching is more than words. If you are united to God it will be obvious to all around. Jesus goes to the uttermost to find the lost sheep.
Carlton is so right ! The letter kills but The Spirit gives life !
That Bishop Van Gayton is deep. I agree with him in the aspect that YES, we need to show the world love, but YES we are still called to tell others about Christ and present him in a way that will compel mankind to accept and live for Him. It doesn't matter Mr. Pearson if people were coming to you. You were to go to people. You didn't need to change your whole doctrine to reach the Hindu, Muslim, etc.
God is love. Point blank. God does not always love our ways that mau be against His way, but we have the opportunity to be redeemed from a particular sin. The Holy Book says that, "We all fall short of His Glory" , but that does not mean we should continue to live in fallen short stage. I respect Bishop Pearson, whatever people may say or feel about him and his teachings. I look to him as a person.
@ positivewarrior.
I Totally agree with you, Carlton seems to be one of the most Honest and KIND persons in Christian limelight today.
He has been through so much and has come out more genuine and loving than before.
Peace to you and God Bless.
The Bagua
Bishop Pearson understood everything they said AND can PREACH AND TEACH IT BETTER THAN THEY CAN. He could sit with them, but they could not sit with him~Selah
Allow me to make clear of what Bishop Pearson believes about Hell.
He has said that there is no hell, AS WE HAVE BEEN TAUGHT. He believes that here is a hell, but it's the one that we, as people create for each other and ourselves.
I loved his quote @ 7:33, when he says that, "Most Christians don't believe in 'finished work, they believe in your addtional work." How many of us are like that? Believing that we have to do additional stuff, when Jesus said,
"It is finished."
The first Bishop who spoke sitting next to Bishop Pearson said one GREAT THING. He said, “God knows more than I do.” So then if you don’t know AS MUCH as God, then that means you don’t know EVERYTHING about how God moves. So since you don’t know everything about God then you have to leave room for possibilities about God OUTSIDE of what you believe.
Sir, when someone breaks the law, lets say a serious one. Are they not arrested, go to trial, proven guilty & then must pay the price for their breaking the law? So is hell. But hell originally was made for the devil & the fallen angels who followed him...........but men have followed satan knowingly & unknowingly...thus called deception. God is Holy & Just, & sin will be punished, but God gave us All a way out, He sent Jesus,
Lexi really knows how to ask. He thought he was the only one who is aggressive about preaching the gospel.
This message of inclusion is straight from the pit of Hell.All who do not hear the gospel and repent are excluded from heaven an included in Hell. Bro. Harrison, minister
Carlton Pearson said that we're never told to get anyone saved, I have to do. We are told to preach the gospel and they that believe shall be saved. We are told to disciple people (which mean to teach people to live after the manner of Christ) We are also told to preach a gospel of repentance, if their is no hell, why is their a need to repent, if there is no conditon to salvation, why repent. Salvation is a work of grace (indeed) by BY FAITH, which faith without WORKS is dead.
Take your rest Pearson!!!!
God's love is greater than our sins.
Say what you want. Bishop Carlton Pearson is a prophet!!!
False Prophet
Carlton Pearsin uses the scriptures that says as in Adam ALL men dies so in Christ all are made alive. This is a example for the Inclusion Doctrine that he believes in & teaches. HOWEVER, he totally overlooked the fact that we inherited the sin from the 1st Adam which he had a choice in doing. Therefore, the last Adam came to deliver us from the sin we all inherited from the 1st Adam. But just like Adam had a choice to sin or not therefore we ALL must choose the last Adams REDEMPTIVE works in order to be set free from the inherited sin that was passed down on us by the 1st Adam. SIN CAME BY THE CHOICE OF A MAN, THEREFORE OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS MUST ALSO COME BY THE OF MEN NOT GOD!
03:55 Why is the moderator/host interrupting and speaking for Pearson??
Pearson has been seriously scrutinized ever since he came out with his "inclusion" theory! Yes, God loves us all, but anytime you "come into contact with Christ," a CHANGE has got to take place...PERIOD!!!!
Carlton...It’s called Pride! To me, it is impossible to ignore the evil on, Satan. And, his agenda. How can we compel folks to turn from evil. The Bible tells us to shun evil, why? There is a HELL to shun, a HEAVEN to gain!
Yes, Jesus dies for the sins of the world and forgiveness is for everyone, BUT, A person must Accept the Sacrifice that Jesus did on the cross. How does one do that? you accept Jesus as your Lord. And let God help you change your life.
Even Jesus said “And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd” in response to the Tibetan man who has not heard of Christ. God puts a measure of Him in all of us, whether we acknowledge that or not, is what makes us one of His sheep.
@Lean6
I'm late on this but I agree with you wholeheartedly! That is why I've left the faith of my upbringing because of "contradiction and inconsistency" that I see in the "Church." I've begun to realize that most Christians or those who claim to be "saved" don't even really know what they believe in but they are quick to quote select bible verses to support their agenda whether it's scripturally accurate or not. Most times it is not..
God is everywhere. God is in the Past, Present and Future. And God judges a person by his/ her heart, not by his religious identity. " God will save ALL mankind." ( 1 Timothy 2:4 - 6 )
Part 3 under a Law/works mentality, if they do wrong/sin they feel guilty, dirty, unacceptable, it's called condemnation. That is what satan uses to keep you from believing in the power of The Blood of Christ that continually cleanses your soul (mind,will,emotions). When Grace is taught biblically correct, when you realize that all your sins forever are forgiven, you know God loves you fiercely, you then don't want to sin, it's easier to Love & Live for Christ. You're not sinless, You sin LESS
I love you Carlton!
@ tightend4, Wow telling me that I am wrong is the most convincing argument I have EVER heard!!
Romans 5:18-19
"Just as the result of one trespass was condemnation for all men, so also the result of one act of righteousness was justification that brings life for all men. For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man will be made righteous."
Van Gayton made sense when he talked about theology of"CREATION" and theology of"REDEMPTION" well explained! The only thing he did not answer correctly was when she asked about the man in Tebbet who never heard of God which is impossible cause the bible says in Matthew 24:14
And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
I thought you agreed with Mr. Pearson? One must accept the sacrifice that was made for them to be forgiven. Because it was and is in Jesus' Sacrifice that forgiveness is atoned. One is made righteous not by their good works but by the Blood of Jesus. Why do you keep saying that, He died for all so all are forgiven. NO. If I gave you a gift, but you don't accept it, then how is it effective? I guess you have never studied the tabernacle sacrifices? Old Covenant & New Covenant?
We must notice that we are coming into a conversation already in progress so that first statement goes with something we haven't heard.
Carlton Pearson's problem is one which many have who have LEARNT how to play church. Those who have LEARNT pentecostalism. However, it is time to get out of the church and into the Kingdom. How? Through the WORD of God. Jesus never came to preach denominationalism, or great TV ministries or accolades of me. He preached TRUTH! All we can do is pray for brother Pearson, however false teaching is like leaven which Jesus spoke about. It can be contagious, which is why we need to speak out!
We are now in the era of apostasy. People are taking God's word the wrong way. Where there is sin, grace is abound. True , but they are saying it as if there's no need to repent or even live a holy & separated life because like they say where there's sin, grace is abound. In other words we've got a license to sin because the more you sin, the more God's grace will cover you. Don't be deceived people! That's why they say you better know God for yourself.
I would never speak Against Bishop Pearson However, I strongly disagree. He used the word saved a lot I wonder if there is no Alternative what are People saved from?
+davaris dennis
People are saved from the tyranny of religion, the fear of separation from God, and the toxic belief in eternal damnation.
Most people who are Christians believe only those with like beliefs can escape eternal damnation. If that is so, most of humanity is hell-bound. That means the Devil wins and God Loses. How can that possibly ever happen?
I love Bishop Pearson I agree with him. I support him. I do-believe in him Unconditionally. Educate yourself with a open mind and heart when you read your bible. I Google Bible contradictions and I was shocked. Educate and believe in yourself. Pick and choose what fit your life. I have had a enough of the old school doctrine and their theatrics.
God bless you Bishop Carton Pearson! Be encouraged and stay the course! You are truly Heaven sent! I love you!!
1 john 1:7-11
If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:
For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.
This Lexi girl really needs to be introduced to some proper theology
Pride was the downfall of pearson. After that brilliant presentation by Dr guyton, carlton kept saying he KNOWS What he was saying, even when he didn't.
He was so familiar with church that he felt he knew every talking point even when he clearly didn't understand it.
God never changes, but Carlton did, lord help him please
@TyrusBush
I agree with your statement,
"Every person that actively pursues a religion believes that have found the "ONE TRUE WAY!" That is the for conversion! .....to enlighten to show someone your own personal Universal Truth!"
That is the goal of religion. With that being said, you have to add Christianity into that mix. Because just like every other religion, we present our case in that thought process as well.
@Lean6 I agree with you, and I can appreciate what you have said. I was beginning to think that I was the only person on planet earth who is tired of listening to other human beings (under the guise of prophet, preacher, deacon, evangelist, theologian, scientist, philosopher) tell me what to think. There's a saying, "opinions are like noses--everybody has one"). All of these people cannot possibly be hearing from G-d or obeying Him. If so, then G-d Himself is confused and doesn't know who He is
Bishop Pearson has done so much for the kingdom.....Its sad that he has gone astray in his theology.....I will continue to pray for him.
Stephan, my brother and friend.
You continue to make tremendous points.
If you take away the fear-based doctrines, you strip away control, and when control is gone, everything that comes with it goes.
Many people love Carlton Pearson, however we are called to speak the TRUTH. It is one thing for an individual to live in error, and another to be in error whilst leading many others astray. This is the case with Carlton Pearson...
I use to ask the same question Lexi asked
Without holiness no man shall see the LORD. That's what the Bible says! The idea that everyone is saved is completely error. Otherwise, why did Jesus say "sin not"? Faith without works is dead. Bishop is deceived.
Rest In Power Bishop
Very good point, Daweddigdiva!
The issue is really not about going to heaven, but about being transformed into the image of the Son, that is we must be born again. The fact that those who are born again will go to heaven is merely the culmination of what Christ died to give us!
Christ died to set us free from our sinful nature, which is death for the wages of sin is death. Spending eternity with the Lord is the culmination of that.
A lot of people are saying that Bishop is denouncing "the WORD", but how can he denounce something and quote it to make his points at the same time.
Bishop has NOT, I repeat, NOT denounced the Bible. He only has a different understanding.
The only ones who say he has denounced it, are those who's own understanding is limited.
You know, the "God said it, God wrote it, THAT SETTLES IT!!!!!" folks.
@7:40
Carlton says He never told us to get them saved! That's not true it may sound smooth but a smooth lie.
ACTS 2615-18
“ ‘I AM JESUS, whom you are persecuting,’ the Lord replied. 16‘Now get up and stand on your feet. ...I AM SENDING YOU TO THEM 18TO OPEN THEIR EYES and TURN THEM FROM from darkness TO LIGHT, and FROM THE POWER OF SATAN TO GOD, so that THEY MAY RECEIVE forgiveness OF SINS &a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me.’
*THE SCRIPTURE PREACHES ALL BY ITSELF GO ON GOD
Quick question to Van Gayton: Did Paul preach what Jesus taught the disciples?
Christianity is not about God coming to people, or people coming to God...it's about BOTH! The Blood only washes your sin away when you cofess and repent of the sin! I hate how they're treating Carlton like he's not a wolf in sheep's clothing. By biblical definition he's a false prophet! That means he's working for Satan, and not to be celebrated. Carlton Pearson is full of pride and his heart is hardened.
Well you forgot that Hell is cast into the lake of fire (Rev.20:13). If your name is not written in the book of life you will be cast into the lake of fire. (Rev.20:15). All sinners will stand at the Great White Throne Judgment and will be Judged by what is written in the books about their life. (Rev.20:11-12)
Whats the point in all of this if everybody is saved?
"Christianity is not about people coming to God. Christianity is about God coming to people."
Unfortunately, the Church, to it's shame and embarassment, has gotten it backwards.
@digitalflava
I think you may have misunderstood him. Lexi stated that Bishop Pearson is saying that by the theology of creation, we are the sons of God. Bishop Guyton stated that we are the sons of God by the theology of redemption. He said that we must hear the Gospel and respond to it. Listen to that part again. Bless u.
Carlton Pearson says that God spoke to him and told him that
everyone is going to Heaven, and that there is no Hell, and that even Gays and
Lesbians are going to heaven.
So let's analyze his message, and we can prove very easily
who spoke to Carlton Pearson!
First, he says that "everyone is going to Heaven"
regardless of what you do (period).
But Jesus says that you must repent: Matthew 4:17 From
that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven
is at hand. Matthew 5:20
For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the
righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into
the kingdom of heaven.
So not only must you repent, but you must also live
(Righteously), or there is no situation on earth (NO CASE!) in which you can
enter into the kingdom of Heaven.
Secondly, Carlton Pearson says that there's no
"Hell".
But Jesus says that hell does exist, and that not only will
your body and soul be destroyed, but it will be done in "Hell": Matthew 10:28 And
fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but
rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
So who spoke to Carlton Pearson? (Satan!) The Great
Deceiver!
So who are you going to fallow, Jesus and (GOD), or Carlton
Pearson and (Satan)?
In fact, Jesus even speaks of people like Carlton Pearson,
as he laid down the commandments of God's laws in which we must follow to be
saved. He explains that those who teach people against the Bible are seen as the
lowliest people on earth by those in heaven, and those who uphold the Bible's
teachings are considered the greatest by those in heaven.
Matthew
5:19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least
commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the
kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall
be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
So not only is there a "Hell" but Carlton Pearson
will be there!
For more truth………
Check out my book (Gay And Lesbian The Truth), at AMAZON and KINDLE, by
Clemy Lee.
John 3:16 says believe on him that who so ever believes him shall not parish but have everlasting life. key word is believe on. it is the will of God that non shall perish but come to repentance (2 peter 3;9) Exekiel18:4 talks about all souls are mind but the soul that sins shall die. Salvation is available but it takes 1. faith because you cant please God without it 2. Repentance or turn and believe. there is a perishing for people who don't believe or/and repent that's hell. luv you all
Funny, satan knows the Word too. We are surely in the last days.
yes and thats why satan wants to MIX TRUTH WITH HIS OWN LIES, SIMPLY BC HE IS THE FATHER OF LIES
I am so tired of hearing that we are in the last days. Goodness! We've been in the "last days" for the last 2000+ years.
IamVickie Sur
Oh so are you saying you're going to live an additional two thousand years.. of course not
Maxwell I don't understand your comment. When people make that comment (namely Christians), they are referring to Jesus/god coming back to judge us SOON. Now, they don't make it clear what "last days" actually mean. Does last days mean in the next 10 years? hundred years? 1000 years or what? prophecy has supposedly been coming to past since Jesus came and left. However, according to biblical scripture, we aren't to know when he's coming back so how do we know what exactly is "last days"? According to the bible, he was supposed to had came back before the disciples tasted death but nothings happened so far.
@@iamvickie9145 Do you believe we're in the last days now? How much more evidence do you need?
C. Pearson, you say that CHRISTIANITY IS NOT ABOUT PEOPLE COMING TO GOD, BUT ABOUT GOD COMING TO PEOPLE.( i think at point 5:17)...WHATTTTT? Rom. 10:9 says that if thou wilt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus thou shall be saved..We must come to Jesus and ASK FOR FORGIVENESS OF OUR SINS.....COME ON NOWWWW.
Those of you who are so adamant on beating Bishop Pearson down (and that is what you're doing), need to listen, and I mean LISTEN, to he says starting at 4:38.
He made so many points that ya'll obviously didn't listen to.
You better know that HELL is real. If you dont live like he says to live....then HELL will be your ETERNITY. He is truly the Final Judge. Teach the Word just like it is. God loves us all, but not all will make it in.
i do understand where carlton is coming from, and yes religious church folk do add to things
I watch many of lexis interviews. The comments are a trip. I am so scared for the Body of Christ. Now days its seems as though everything Goes. Is there no such thing as wronge and if there is are we not allowed to say it. I love this man (CP) and this concept of love he is talking about But Dr. Gayton is Brilliant in Our Lord! Jesus Is Lord he love us and he chastens those he loves and he saves us. God is the master with the master plan !! Let's make it to heaven and take some folks with us!
It amazes me at how hateful and intolerant "Christians" are. It has been drilled into us to hate anyone or anything that has a view opposite ours. I think when you really understand religion and what it represents everywhere(for the most part), it isn't difficult to understand what Bishop Pearson is saying. It makes perfect sense and is embracing of all which is contrary to how we are taught. We are taught religous views that only benefit certain folks. Bishop ministers what benefits ALL.
5:47 - 7:53 gospel,and I would add "GOD gives the HOLY SPIRIT which confirms or seals us".
To love someone is to tell them WHAT they need to hear not what they Want to hear
example: if a doctor gives you a bad diagnosis (something none of us want to hear) it would gross negligence for him/her to lie to you, they are duty bound to tell you the TRUTH! wheter pleasant or unpleasant, so it is the christians duty to warn of coming judgement Rom 14:11-12
So, basically Bishop Gayton, and quite honestly many other believers, would rather present the "Theology of Redemption" over the "Theology of Creation". It seems to me that we do not understand that one doctrine separates while another one unites, and the church chooses the one that separates.
Love you Carlton Pearson and always will.
WITH LOVING KINDNESS, WE DO LOVE C.P., BUT WE ALSO PRAY THAT GOD WILL GIVE HIM A CHANGE OF HEART.. THE BIBLE IS RIGHT AND SOMEBODYS WRONG. JUST CANT UNDERSTAND AFTER ALL THESE YRS. WHAT MADE HIM CHANGE LIKE THAT
He says he's not trying to convert them but convince them?? Jesus told Peter to CONVERT the brethren. It's our job to try to convert AND convince folks of Jesus!
Acording to the gospel of carlton pearson...
Part 1 Hebrews 9:22 Hebrews 10:1-21, Hebrews is awesome. It speaks about the Law, not just the 10 commandments, How Aaron had to offer sacrifices for himself then for the people to enter the Holy of Holies within the veil. But Jesus is our High Priest according to the order Melchizedek, God appointed men to be high priests, But God appointed Jesus as Our High Priest according to a New Covenant, the old covenant is finished by the cross. Every year sacrifices had to be made again & again & again
Bishop Van Gayton said it in one simple "WHAT must I DO TO BE SAVED..."
Carltons whole False Gospel is shot down. No one is automatically saved until they confess Christ and believe in his heart God raised Him from the dead.
All the others remind me of Jobs friends trying to correct him but all were wrong.
Rosette PeytonDavis - "What must I do to have eternal life?" ( Matthew 19:16-19)
(cont.)
Every religion, including Christianity, has its scholars, its sacred book, its system of beliefs, and they are used to defend their convictions, and to, in many cases discredit anything that stands in opposition to it.
Just like Dr. Gayton pointed out the passage in the Qu'ran, I'm quite sure that someone else pointed out something in the bible that presented a challenge.
He is missing the point..This is not about you Carlton..You have been led astray
@NotoriousNYNJ If everyone is saved then we would focus more on understanding each other versus being judge over anyone we don't like or don't hold our views. Everyone doesn't have to hold the same views about God but we do need to get along and treat everyone fairly...that's where our energy is needed the most.
AMEN!!
You dont want an answer, unless it agrees with you.
Wait a minute...Bishop Pearson said "You don't have to go along to get along." Now he's saying if you're don't believe then you're not a Christian." Doesn't that go against his first statement? (I'm not trying to be smart, I just trying to understand his side even if I don't believe in it.)
@sylviacalhoun That's what I mean: a CHURCH ON EVERY CORNER and our communities are the sickest and most impoverished! Every church has a different belief than the next. It's a great big political system of opinions. It's much less stressful and debilitating to stay home and believe what you want to believe to get you through the day. And yes, it can save you a lot of money while you're at it.
did ORU teach that false doctrine of Hell "not being a Literal place" to carlton pearson as he was a graduate of that school or did he just develop this thinking apart from his experience in tulsa?
@baldwinvillage from a physical perspective, I agree that church is a place to fellowship and praise God. However, it's also the place where Christ ordained us to gather and receive instruction, encouragement, etc. via hearing the Word. He instructed us not to forsake the assembling of ourselves together, Heb. 10:25-27. I would much rather be in church where the presense of the Lord is. It's part of my personal worship; I'm making an effort to go to Christ, not just waiting on Christ to
You think you know everything because your $ gives you access...But God is not mocked...
The question @1:27 min, has already been answered in romans.
God will judge the unsaved according to the revelation of God from nature and other testament from Religions and testimony of nature and their conscience.
We cannot go then and assume that Christ's work is irrelevant and therefore all is saved without repentance through faith.
As we see in John 17: 2, the ONLY other question that we MUST ASK OURSELVES is: "How many where given to the Son???"
And this will tell us how many will be given Eternal Life!!!
John 3:35 The Father loveth the Son, and hath given ALL THINGS into his hand.
Aha!!! All things were given, and if ALL THINGS were given, then all things MUST be given ETERNAL LIFE!!
IT is simple deductive LOGIC!
Would you know ANYTHING about that??
Romans 16:17-I appeal to you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and create obstacles contrary to the doctrine that you have been taught; avoid them. No one is guaranteed tomorrow ( even though we may attempt to create the illusion that we are). The fact is God condemns no man; every man makes his choices & castes his die. Paul said don't be deceived. because he knew some people would wrongly CHOOSE HELL in self-deception. This is the clear implication of the I Cor 6:9 intro.
And may I add another fact? Well I'm going to proceed anyway: Law was writing by man Luke, Moses, Peter and Paul Grace and Salvation is a gift giving from the one and only O'mighty GOD....
B, clarification doesn't work with those who are personally, financially, etc., invested in creating that hell for themselves & others mostly because it's the only behavioral pattern they understand, which is GOI terrifies them. having grown up around them, I know that for many of them, it's easier to just call CDP everything but a child of God than it is to undertake the daunting, lengthy yet powerful work of freeing oneself from the doctrine of institutionalized self-loathing.
With all due respect, this is why I am not a follower of any specific religious doctrine. Far too convoluted. I just hope that everybody does the best they can do, and that we can all understand that Love Wins above all else. Bless you all.
Everyone is God’s creation, but everyone is not God’s child.
I agree totally, aijuswana!!
The church, or religion uses a "do this, or else" approach to get the response to get what they want.
Jesus never threatened people to follow him.
I think Jesus said it best in Matthew 23:15,
"Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You travel over land and sea to win a single convert, and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much a son of hell as you are."
Teach Bishop Pearson, I pray for you always; I think that they are jealous that they didnt see this revelation. Ive been preaching this for 15years and I too was kicked
out of the church of my birth. They pushed me into another level. Its ok God is still working.
my bad, i knew it was in the bible but i forgot who said it. but u get the point.
Surely , even in a place or period where there is no gospel being preach, God got His creative way of reaching out to those people. Nothing is impossible to God. And there is even hope of salvation beyond the grave.
I agree with the first part of your statement. I never said He died for all, it is you who keep saying that. You believe that Jesus died for all men but unless man accept the gift he is lost. John said salvation is not of mans will but of God.(Jn.1:12-13). Jesus said "ALL" that the Father give "WILL COME" and will never be cast out. (John 6:37). The gift salvation is only given to those who have be chosen by God. (Roman. 8:28-30).
Christianity has always been & is always inclusive because God loves us all. However He left instructions that Christians are to adopt in order to join Him in Heaven. He’s let us know what is sin, and that He doesn’t tolerate sin and well not co-habitate with sin. He’s told us that His word does not change. He’s told us that there’s a Heaven & a hell & that many will not make it into Heaven. He loves us all enough to describe hell ,,so that we can live accordingly in order to live in Heaven. He’s told us that He is coming back for a spotless bride ( saved Christians who believe & live as He has said in His Bible. Ten Commandments also left for us. He loves us all enough to allow us to accept His word or not. He left prophesies over 2K years ago to let us know what soul come & be signs of his coming; the very same prophesies are on CNN as current events in Russia (Ezekiel) & Middle East. He’s included all by inviting us all to live as Christians & according to His word.
Amen. This is beautiful.
Much of the Genesis account is found in the Sumerian Tablets written 5000 years before the Hebrew Text
