Chapter 12: The False Salvation Doctrine

Page 22

This time, I have drawn a line representing David’s walk with God and the adulterous and murderous affair he had with Bathsheba. Think

about the ramifications of King David’s behavior and you will see that God has never expected our behavior to be perfect. God only expects us to respect Him like we would respect any close friend. King David violated two of God’s Ten Commandments. “Thou shall not murder” and “Thou

shall not commit adultery.” Go back and study the story in 2 Samuel 12. You will find out that God had mercy on King David. Why? It is because that behavior was not the normal behavior of King David. He had a heart for God and walked closely with God.

Now flip the graph upside down and picture the spike as the only one that goes into the realm of righteousness. Many Christians live in the realm of unrighteousness and on occasion do something visibly righteous. Do you think God will view that person as a friend? No. When you walk with God,

He will walk with you. It doesn’t mean that there won’t be consequences for unrighteous behavior. It does mean that if you are close friends with God, you can expect the love, mercy and care that a close friend will give you.

Truncating Paul’s Teaching Is Apostasy!

Truncating the salvation teachings of Apostle Paul in Romans 10:9-10

is a major aspect of the false salvation doctrine being taught in the Christian Church. The failure to teach Christians that hearts must actually “change unto God’s righteousness” is the failure to teach Christians that they need to treat God and Jesus at least as respectful from a behavioral point of view as

they would treat any close friend. This involves not offending your friend because that is what friends do for each other. Friendships dissolve when respect for one another’s beliefs dissolves. Therefore, eternal salvation is only reflected within those Christians that adhere to the commandments of God. That adherence to the commandments is reflected within our actions,

statements, morals, politics, etc. It demonstrates respect for God Almighty.

God Values His Friends Too!
