Chapter 14: The Gift of Jesus

If God’s Word does not out rank the mouth of your priest or pastor,

you might as well close this book right now. You will not be able to gain anything from it. Why? It takes someone who loves the truth to listen when scriptures are presented that challenge a core Christian teaching. This book is a message to Christians that inform them why many are going to Hell. If

you don’t value the Word over the priest or pastor’s opinion, you are already lost. You will be one of those whom Jesus says: “I never knew you.”

For the moment, consider how difficult it is for a trinity believer to

accept anything from God’s Word in this book in the form of scriptures that speak to the contrary. I have already told you that the trinity doctrine is false. Go back and read the many scriptures cited in chapter 10 that speak to this fact if you don’t believe it. I have also told you that the typical salvation doctrine that is taught is false. Go back to the chapter 12 scriptures if you

don’t understand it. I have told you that your own righteousness counts and that continued willful sin on your part is forbidden if you expect to claim salvation through Jesus Christ. Go back and study the earlier chapters until you understand these scriptural facts.

Will you accept such facts when shown corroborating scriptures? Or, will you dismiss out of hand such facts because they are in opposition to established Christian teachings? I suspect the latter with many, because they

are headed for Hell. And despite their claims to the contrary, they are not willing to accept what Scripture teaches as fact. This can be because they are spiritually lazy people and will follow anyone. It can be because they place their faith in a priest or pastor instead of in God’s Holy Word.

I had been invited to a Christian gathering for a sing-a-long a few weeks ago. There were about thirty Christians who gather on a regular basis for some good clean fun and fellowship. Sharon, a friend of the family, felt

it would be good for me to get out in the wake of Jackie’s death. Since the event was being held at her home, she insisted that I come over and check it out. She even told me that plenty of food would be available. That is good enough for most males albeit I already had dinner planned that Saturday

night. I didn’t think I would go; I even watched a movie first. Two of my adult kids encouraged me to go, just to get out of the house. Sharon had
