John Collinges, ejected nonconformist minister, wrote the Matthew notes in Poole's Annotations. Christ consigns to the devil those who would not take in the banished and the stranger, he observes; so what becomes of those who did the banishing? A fair question in a season of fresh resentment and ever more inventive grounds for expulsion. Odd, then, how hell's keenest doctrinal defenders mostly picture it full of people who skimped on morning devotions.

Dispensationalism is blasphemy. It teaches there are different gospels for different times and peoples. The Prophets and Apostles have always and ever taught a singular, same gospel from the beginning. The gospel has always been the gospel of the Father sending the Son of God to save mankind from the judgment of sin.
There is no salvation outside of Jesus Christ. He is the ark that saves from the flood. There is no other intermediary between God and man. There is no other name under heaven whereby men may be saved.
You will NOT be saved by:
Going to church
Getting baptized
Eating kosher
Using sacred names
Praying to saints
Praying to Mary
Blessing Abraham
or any other false form of worship.
There is only one valid form of worship: the faith of Abraham.
What is the faith of Abraham?
"And Abraham trusted God ..."
The faith of Abraham is to believe what God has said.
It is not to believe what other men say about what God has said.
Abraham was saved and accounted righteous because he trusted what God said.
And God has said that HE would provide the sacrifice for sin.
That is the gospel. That is the good news.
God provided the sacrifice so men don't have to even try.
God is not an angry, wrathful deity tallying your sins, waiting to punish you.
God already took sin out of the way almost 2000 years ago.
God said to look to his son, Jesus Christ.
He did not say:
Look to the church
Look to baptism
Look to prayers
Look to theology
Look to the government.
He said to look upon his son on the cross.
Every other gospel besides this is a lie and a false gospel designed to serve the empire of man instead of the kingdom of God.
Everyone who tells you to 'repent of your sins' to be saved is missing the point of the gospel. The good news is that God already planned it, and already took care of it. Repenting of sins is already too late ... sin works the judgment of death. You can't walk back your sins. Instead, God took them out of the way.
If you believe this, you are saved. If you believe this you are removed from the false religious kingdom of man and accounted a citizen of God's kingdom.
That said, true repentance by faith in Christ does not solve your worldly problems. Jesus didn't call us to a bed of roses. He called us to pick up our cross and follow him.

"In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:
who, being in very nature God,
did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage;
rather, he made himself nothing
by taking the very nature of a servant,
being made in human likeness.
And being found in appearance as a man,
he humbled himself
by becoming obedient to death –
even death on a cross!"

Edward A. Lawrence, Congregationalist pastor in Marblehead, Massachusetts, took a pin to "charity begins at home." No one is quicker to spot want next door, he said, than the person whose giving already reaches the farthest verge of sin and woe. The wide heart sees the near need. Today the slogan has moved house, into the family itself, with manly marching orders that stop at the garden fence. Lazarus at the gate is presumably someone else's household.

David Thomas (1813–1894), Congregationalist minister, asks why Matthew 25 sorts people to God's right hand. Not doctrine or attendance: Christ was hungry and you fed him, or didn't. Plenty of us will rush a casserole to a fellow churchgoer. But mention suffering not blamed on government meddling, or hungry people who've moved nearer, and it's Scrooge asking after the treadmills. Can we see Christ in the hungry person who turns up at a wildly inconvenient moment?

https://youtu.be/SGXHy8QIHsg?si=Fnm3fFWnGd6zDzMH
Many people think the Amish are 'good people' with a anitiquated 'faith'.
Some former Amish will tell you it is quite different than many perceive. The Amish are imprisoned in a insular and clannish religious system rather than liberated by faith in the promises of God to all peoples. Like many other Christians, it is common in the Amish community for people to worship the authority of the Church and Bishopric rather than the Creator God.
Like other organized religions, some Amish dictate that loyalty to the institution and pastorate is what saves, and that disloyalty damns you to hell. Of course this is found nowhere in the Bible, a book which shows God destroying religious institutions over and over again for this very attitude!
I have no problem with people organizing as a group and taking care of each other. But when their rulers say you will burn in hell or be damned for disobeying the group rulers, that is blasphemy!

THE CHURCH IS ISRAEL
_
Dispensationalism is virtually the state religion of the U.S. government, especially among the right. The author of this video does a fine job of shredding the satanic and anti-christ doctrine of Dispensationalism. Millions of American Christians are deluded by this war-mongering false gospel.
_
Dispensationalism Refuted by EVERY Book of the Bible
_
"Contrary to what some may believe, the fundamental doctrines of Protestant and Reformed theology were not inventions of the Protestant Reformers. Rather, these doctrines find their origins in the Bible itself, and afterwards, in the writings of the early church fathers. Knowing what these men of God taught provides Protestants a great assurance, a clear conscience, and a genuine appreciation for the faith we share with our Christian forefathers."

The Ten Commandments movie (1956) is a masterpiece.
I hadn't seen the movie since I was a tyke.
I watched it again and I was mesmerized.
Vintage movies and musicals are much better than any of the modern cinematic brain rot.

New post on my blog.
I have seen a lot of folks, especially in Evangelical circles, misuse 2 Timothy 3 to try to make claims about the Bible.
Context matters.

Faithful pastoral leadership requires both biblical sound doctrine and effective preaching to guide congregations, upholding the sacred call to "preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season" (2 Timothy 4:2 NKJV).

Standing firm in faith against overwhelming odds brings miraculous deliverance, as Abijah stated, "Do not fight against the Lord God of your fathers, for you shall not prosper!" (2 Chronicles 13:12 NKJV).

"But he answered one of them, 'I am not being unfair to you, friend. Didn't you agree to work for a denarius? Take your pay and go. I want to give the one who was hired last the same as I gave you. Don't I have the right to do what I want with my own money? Or are you envious because I am generous?'
"So the last will be first, and the first will be last."

"I Know the Blasphemy of the Synagogue of Satan" - Jesus
[LINK] https://youtu.be/o_7c82i0E70
"Jesus called them "the synagogue of Satan." But who were they, and what had they done?"
"The phrase appears only twice in the Bible, in the letters to Smyrna and Philadelphia in Revelation 2:9 and 3:9. Today it gets quoted everywhere, and people build some very large conclusions on it. In this video, we investigate the phrase using the CAAP method (Context, Author, Audience, Purpose), digging into first-century Smyrna, Rome's imperial cult, the Greek words behind the text, and the martyrdom of Polycarp, to find out who Jesus was actually talking about and what's been done with his words since."
Some 'crusaders' mis-use the Bible as a way to bludgeon Israel and Jews by calling them the 'Synagogue of Satan'.
This track debunks popular heresies and shows just who this synagogue of satan really is. IMHO the talking sheep head does a great job of succinctly touching on the right points. This information is useful ammunition for shooting down the screeds and credos of cranks who spread their false and hateful interpretations of the Bible.

I've studied the historical and archaeological evidence that supports the Bible's accuracy, and it shows a remarkable consistency with ancient records and discoveries worldwide.
"Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ. Then, whether I come and see you or only hear about you in my absence, I will know that you stand firm in the one Spirit, striving together as one for the faith of the gospel without being frightened in any way by those who oppose you. This is a sign to them that they will be destroyed, but that you will be saved – and that by God"
God grants His people the ability to accomplish the impossible, proving that divine strength enables us when "the hand of the Lord came upon Elijah" (1 Kings 18:46 NKJV).

I just found an example in the Bible where Jesus was angry.
Mark 3:1-6 KJV
The men he was angry at had hardened hearts. They were religious leaders who planned to kill him for doing good. Even so, Jesus hurt no one. Instead, he healed a man, forgiving him of his sins.
Be angry, yet sin not. Be merciful and do good, even to your enemies. In doing so, you shall pour hot coals over their heads.

Attempting to rationalize partial compliance reveals a rebellious heart, reminding us that God demands wholehearted behavior because "to obey is better than sacrifice" (1 Samuel 15:22 NKJV).

"But the LORD said, 'You have been concerned about this plant, though you did not tend it or make it grow. It sprang up overnight and died overnight. And should I not have concern for the great city of Nineveh, in which there are more than a hundred and twenty thousand people who cannot tell their right hand from their left – and also many animals?'"
So, I had been discussing doing this for a while, but since I made an actual blog, I decided to post up my thoughts on Acts 19:21-41.

I'm not saying this blog is going to be all religion, all the time. I'm not even sure what else I'll do with it, but I wanted to share this one.
The beginning of wisdom is the most sincere desire for instruction,
and concern for instruction is love of her,
and love of her is the keeping of her laws,
and giving heed to her laws is assurance of immortality,
and immortality brings one near to God,
so the desire for wisdom leads to a kingdom.
[ἀρχὴ γὰρ αὐτῆς ἡ ἀληθεστάτη παιδείας ἐπιθυμία,
φροντὶς δὲ παιδείας ἀγάπη,
ἀγάπη δὲ τήρησις νόμων αὐτῆς,
προσοχὴ δὲ νόμων βεβαίωσις ἀφθαρσίας,
ἀφθαρσία δὲ ἐγγὺς εἶναι ποιεῖ θεοῦ·
ἐπιθυμία ἄρα σοφίας ἀνάγει ἐπὶ βασιλείαν.]

True spiritual strength worships God in times of hardship, as we must try to devote ourselves even through difficult times, as Job said during his own trials: "blessed be the name of the Lord" (Job 1:21 NKJV).

Choosing earthly comfort over God's difficult assignment can keep us in spiritual exile, challenging us to be among the faithful "whose spirit God had moved" (Ezra 1:5 NKJV).

The millennial kingdom is a 1,000-year reign of Christ on earth described in the Bible, symbolizing a time of peace and righteousness after His return.
God's written law provides an objective moral foundation that remains holy and worth pursuing regardless of human failings, proving that "the word of the Lord is proven" (Psalm 18:30 NKJV).
