Chapter 12: The False Salvation Doctrine

Page 24

If you are trying to read this chapter on its own, you will need to go back and study the conversation on page 301 concerning God’s seven Spirits to fully appreciate the graphic above.

Let me tell you what John 14:6-7 does not say. It does not say that Jesus Christ is the only form of salvation. What Jesus said and did was what the Father told him to say and do. Therefore, the way, the truth and the life are “the words of God Almighty” as given to mankind via Jesus Christ who was the messenger of God. The phrase that “no one comes to the Father

except through me” is easy to understand when you realize that Christ sits at the right hand of God the Father [Yahweh]. It is also easy to understand when you realize that God has appointed Jesus as Judge. When you realize that you can call on the name of Yahweh to be saved [Joel 2:32], the verse

makes sense that all will go through Jesus before they “come to the Father.”

To put it plainly, the salvation line forms to the right of Jesus. He will

name. The other group is those souls who know God and call upon His name. Of course, knowing someone in this instance is akin to being friends.

The gift of God is for “the world” and whether or not Christians like it, this includes all who are righteous and all who know God. It means that righteous Muslims and Jews will see eternal life. But Edward, you say —

doesn’t the verse specifically indicate that it is Jesus who must be believed in? Actually, it doesn’t if you fully understand Scripture. Since most of
