Hello Family of God,

We're living in perilous times where evil and iniquity is rising at an unprecedented rate; exactly as it was foretold by Prophecy. Not only are the number of apostates among leaders in Christianity increasing; there now exists many doctrines of demons, which are substituting the Truth of Holy Scripture with teachings that feed off of the pride of man's heart. The most common ones coming to the fore are Salvation by works (i.e., "Salvation is achieved by works, or [good] deeds") -- and the false doctrine which teaches that every human will eventually be saved because love wins in the end; regardless if you are an unrepentant sinner, sexually immoral, an unbeliever, and even a pagan -- but is this what the Holy Scripture says?

"For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come. This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation. For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because [WE TRUST IN THE LIVING GOD], who is [THE SAVIOUR OF ALL MEN] (Grk. soter panton anthropon; i.e., "all in the literal sense, and NOT all kinds of men"), [SPECIALLY OF THOSE THAT BELIEVE] (Grk. malista piston)." (1 Timothy 4:8-10)

The Biblical passage cited directly above has been misinterpreted by MANY Bible teachers, Scholars, Pastors, and students of the Word of God, when they fail to apply the CORRECT principles of Biblical interpretation: Systematic theology, Perspicuity of Scripture, Exegesis, Hermeneutics, and its Cultural/Historical/Literary CONTEXT. EVERY word in Sacred Scripture must be taken into account, including verb tenses (cf. Matt. 4:4; 2 Tim. 2:15; 3:16-17; 2 Pet. 1:2-4). Several interpretations have been given to reconcile its understanding in light of the Totality of the Word of God.
  • - Universalism (i.e., "All human beings will eventually be reconciled to God")
  • - Common Grace (cf. Gen. 2:16-17; 3:1-19; Rom. 6:23; 7:22-24; 1 Cor. 15:22; Heb. 2:14-15)
  • - All "kinds" or "types" of people (e.g., "kings, ethnic groups, slaves, etc." -- cf. 1 Tim. 2:1-3)
  • - There is ONLY ONE SAVIOR, and ONLY ONE NAME under heaven given among men by which we must be saved; it is ONLY through the Lord Jesus Christ, and His Atoning death/shed Blood on the Cross for MANY for the remission of sins, can anyone be saved (see Matt. 7:13-14; Jn. 10:7-8; 14:6; Acts 4:12)
"Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and [MANY] there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and [FEW] there be that find it." (Matthew 7:13-14)

Based on these reasons, which interpretation would be the correct understanding of the passage? Everyone ought to know that if Jesus Christ shed His Precious Blood for MANY, then this would imply that His Sacrifice for the forgiveness of sins was not shed for ALL; because if this were to be the case, then ALL mankind (i.e., "past, present, and future") would be saved -- including Judas Iscariot; and all of us ought to know that this is NOT what the Infallible and Inerrant Word of God tells us. It should be clear to anyone that there will be MANY who will be condemned to Hell and the Eternal Lake of Fire (i.e., "the BROAD way which leads to Eternal ruin"). MANY, in both the Salvation and the Condemnation of men/women is to be determined by its context; in like manner, the Precious Blood of the Lamb of God was shed for MANY -- not ALL, and only a few find it (cf. Matt. 26:28; Lk. 13:25-27; Rom. 5:19; Heb. 9:25).

"These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee: As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. [AND THIS IS LIFE ETERNAL], that they might know thee [THE ONLY TRUE GOD, AND JESUS CHRIST], whom thou hast sent." (John 17:1-3)

In Closing:

"And he said unto me, [IT IS DONE] (Grk. gegonan -- perfect active indicative; i.e., "these promises, which is a future event, have ALREADY come to pass in the Eternal Plan and Mind of God"). I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. [HE THAT OVERCOMETH] (Grk. ho nikon -- present active participle; i.e., "Genuine Christians will overcome, and will continue to overcome all trials in this passing world" -- cf. Jn. 16:33; 1 Jn. 5:4) shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death." (Revelation 21:6-8)

There is ONLY ONE SAVIOR (i.e., "the Savior of All men") to turn to for Salvation and Deliverance from sin and Eternal Judgment (i.e., "Jesus is the Door" -- cf. Jn. 10:9-16) -- and all other religions will ultimately lead to spiritual death. Those who have been cleansed by the Precious Blood of the Lamb of God -- and have placed their FAITH and TRUST in Him Alone for their Salvation (i.e., "because there is no other Savior"), will be delivered from the Coming Wrath of Almighty God (i.e., "WE TRUST IN THE LIVING GOD"). To possess [ETERNAL LIFE] is to KNOW the One TRUE GOD (i.e., "as opposed to the MANY FALSE gods") -- and Jesus Christ as our ONLY Savior.

"I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie." (Revelation 22:13-15)

[I AM]
  1. [The Father] Alpha and Omega
  2. [The Son] the Beginning and the End
  3. [The Holy Spirit] the First and the Last
"And the Spirit and the bride say, [COME]. And let him that heareth say, [COME]. And let him that is athirst [COME]. And whosoever will, [LET HIM TAKE THE WATER OF LIFE FREELY]." (Revelation 22:17)

This is the Last chapter in the Bible, and all Three persons of the Triune Godhead beckons anyone who THIRSTS for Eternal Life to receive it FREELY by the Grace of God to all those who will receive it with Faith (i.e., "God speaking through His Spirit inspired Words in Sacred Scripture"). Tomorrow is never a guarantee to anyone, and the greatest priority in life is to be reconciled to God; because everyone will one day breathe their last breath, and exhale their spirit. Then immediately will the slaves of God escort you to one of two places (i.e., "Hell, and finally to the Eternal Lake of Fire; or to the Paradise of God").

God Bless!!!
