The Demonic Roots of Predestination; The Demonic underpinnings of “election” void volition…

The defining divine attribute of Elohim is “love” (1 John 4:8) and Elohim introduces that love first in Genesis 3:21 and confirms, fulfills, same at Golgotha with the words “It is finished” (John 19:30; John 3:16).

I am completely baffled by the demonic doctrine of “election” void volition i.e. “predestination” and those exhibiting apparent intelligence and discernment espousing the demonic ideology that humanity is absent the ability to choose their eternal destiny.

Why do you deny Elohim’s omnipotent ability to work through, around, the personal choices of His created beings in order to fulfill His eschatological will for Time and Eternity?

Do you not understand the absurdity of predestination, the alleged absence of free will in creation and in our daily lives?

Please consider this,

How is it possible for genuine, reciprocal, intimacy-love-relationship, to manifest and be sustained for Time and Eternity void the free will to “choose” to love, void the free will to choose to engage in relationship and receive genuine and reciprocal intimacy lest one possesses the free will to willingly engage in that relationship or possess the free will to reject same?

How is Elohim’s relationship with His angelic creation, His human creation, made fulfilling, purposeful, relevant, reciprocally pleasing, lest both Elohim and the angels, lest both Elohim and every human being, possesses volition, free will, to engage in relationship? How does Elohim’s eschatological purposes in Time relevant to “destroying the works of the devil” (1 John 3:8b) find meaning and relevance if the creatures involved are morally-ethically robotic thereby nullifying the need for FAITH and GRACE and COVENANT and LOVE?

Void free will, WHY THE SUFFERING OF MESSIAH?

What kind of tyrannical “God” denies free will?

What does it say about a supposed Creator who creates the unfathomably beautiful Angelic Creation and a Creator who meticulously collaborates on Day-6 to create the unfathomably complex human genome then proceeds to deny both the angelic creation and humanity the ability to choose love or hate, covenant or self-righteousness, life or death – eternally; then, this tyrannical “Creator” proceeds to arbitrarily punish one-third of the entire angelic creation in the fires of Hell, forever and ever for behavior they had no ability to control (Revelation 20:10) and send an untold “many” of humanity to the “second death” in Hell for sin, defilement, for which they had no ability to receive forgiveness, atonement, for by faith (Matthew 7:13-14); this, just because He is GOD? What “God” do you serve?

When one espouses the demonic doctrine of “predestination” or “election void volition,” they provide fodder for the demonic root of atheism and secular humanism. When one espouses predestination/election void volition, they do not serve Elohim, they are absent the Holy Spirit, they don’t know Elohim and are NOT in covenant as they serve the god of this World, Satan who has blinded their mind from the Truth of Elohim and His Gospel (2 Corinthians 4:4; John 3:16-18).

Elohim is LOVE (1 John 4:8); therefore, how can He find pleasure in the death of the wicked in Hell?

Elohim does not find pleasure in the destruction of the wicked, that’s why He gave Himself to be crucified, bled and suffocated to death for your sin at Golgotha and offers you HIS imputed righteousness by faith in Him as your Messiah (2 Corinthians 5:21).

Elohim did not find pleasure in the drowning of the entire Adamic and Noahic generations save eight but did so because He refused to sanctify a people group from those wicked generations through whom He would introduce His Messiah to the World to provide forgiveness of sin and eternal life by grace through faith in conjunction with “destroying the works of the devil” through Messiah’s work at Golgotha (Genesis 6; 1 John 3:8b).

Elohim finds no pleasure in the death of the wicked but lest their sin has been atoned for by the blood of Messiah, they will NOT be permitted to enter the Kingdom of God and NOTHING impure will enter therein (Revelations 21:27); therefore, the “second death” in Hell is the only other option remaining for the unrepentant sinner (Revelation 20:11-15).

Our entire creation is prefaced upon a rebellion in the Kingdom initiated by a rebellious cherub angel and Elohim has patiently endured and spent the previous 6000-years and suffered the unconscionable death of Yeshua to right that wrong and restore peace and holiness to His Kingdom; therefore, do NOT think for one moment that Elohim will wink at unrepentant, unredeemed, sin or compromise with same as free will remains extant in the Kingdom by necessity. Elohim has no intention of repeating the horror over the previous 6000-years manifesting from rebellion in His Kingdom and self-righteous attempts at usurping His authority and dominion.

Elohim will except NOTHING but the atoning blood sacrifice of the Son, Jesus Christ; that is, your faith in the Son as your Messiah, as payment for your sin, a debt owed the Father that you can never pay yourself (John 14:6). Unless Jesus Christ is your Mediator for sin before the Father, you will die the “second death” in Hell as no place in Eternity is fitted for your unrepentant, rebellious, unappreciative, self-righteousness.

Isaiah 66:16

For the Lord will execute judgment by fire

And by His sword on all flesh,

And those slain by the Lord will be many.

Concerning Israel’s children: why will only a “remnant” (primarily those who survive the Tribulation Era) find life in the Kingdom of Elohim? Isaiah 10:22; Romans 9:27

The rebellious Jews of the First-Century murdered Jesus for His proclamation that He is I AM, Deity; this, under the false allegation of “blasphemy.”

What happened?

The Covenant Yahweh made with Israel’s children through Abraham (Genesis 12:3b) was to be fulfilled through the Tribe of Judah concerning Messiah’s introduction to the World and Messiah came specifically to the “lost sheep of Israel” (Matthew 15:24) to proselytize them in the New Covenant Gospel as Israel’s children were foreordained to be the ministers of the Great Commission (Matthew 28) and thereby be “a blessing to every family of the Earth” as per Genesis 12:3b; unfortunately, Israel’s children and their religious councils rejected the New Covenant of Grace; Israel rejected their Messiah and conspired with the Roman authorities to murder Messiah upon a tree while simultaneously demanding that Messiah’s blood be upon them and their children (Matthew 27:25); therefore, the Father removed the Gospel and His Covenant of Grace in Messiah from Israel’s children and gave same to the Gentiles until “the fullness of the Gentiles” have entered the Kingdom of God (Romans 11:25); therefore, Israel’s children today don’t see, they don’t hear, they don’t believe, they are arrogant and self-righteous in their Judaism and secularism just as their forefathers; therefore, the words of LIFE in Yeshua are stubbornly rejected by them as they cling to self-righteousness through Law or secular apostasy; therefore, an overwhelming number of Jews and Israelite’s today will not be named among the remnant who enter the Kingdom and serve Yeshua, forever (Romans 10).

Concerning the Region of Hell, the Lake of Fire, Gehenna…

Hell, the Lake of Fire, was created specifically for Satan and his rebellious angels; this, before the creation of Time and humanity. Scripture suggests that the most vile of demons (fallen angels) are in confinement there presently (Jude 1:6). Hell will become relevant for fallen humanity subsequent the Judgment of the Condemned that will manifest subsequent Messiah’s Millennial Reign (Revelation 20:11-15).

Hell was not created for humanity, men and women will enter Hell subsequent Judgment by choice; that is, rejecting Jesus as Messiah for the atonement of sin and covenant with the Father by faith.

16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. 18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. John 3:16-18 (ESV)

35 The Father loves the Son and has given all things into his hand. 36 Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him. John 3:35-36 (ESV)

But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.” Revelation 21:8 (ESV)

Concerning the “Law of the Spirit of Life” – The Gospel of Jesus Christ…

The Gospel of Jesus Christ was ordained as Elohim’s battle strategy “to destroy the works of the Devil” by selfless love via Messiah at Golgotha (1 John 3:8b) “before Time began” (2 Timothy 1:8-10). The moment iniquity was found in Elohim’s anointed cherub servant (Ezekiel 28:15 “11-15”), Elohim commissioned the Son to take elements from the unseen Spiritual Realm and fashion same into matter that can be apprehended by “life” constrained by Time and physics (Hebrews 11:3); hence, the initiation of the creation of Time, matter, this Earth, the human genome as a repository for an impending, unfathomable, spiritual war (Genesis 1; Genesis 3; Genesis 3:21; John 1; Hebrews 1; Colossians 1; John 3:35; Matthew 28:18; Luke 10:18).

Law and the Gospel,

The “Law of the Spirit of Life” (Romans 8:2) is uniquely rooted in the Gospel of the New Covenant as it concerns the “law of conscience” (Romans 2:14-15) introduced into the human genome on Day-6 and that same law is written upon the heart, uniquely infused within the spirit, of every individual human being at conception; the “law of conscience” is Elohim’s arbiter of free will.

Concerning the Gospel, the “law of conscience” is enlivened, made applicable to the Christian life, by the redeemed conscience or the “new creation” in Christ subsequent salvation (2 Corinthians 5:17); therefore, the Christian does NOT labor after, is not enslaved by, the written code provided Israel at Sinai (Romans 6:14; 7;6) but the Christian walks daily in sanctification (a setting apart from the World for the Father’s eschatological purposes) by pursuing obedience to the indwelling Holy Spirit who methodically sanctifies, teaches, intercedes for, the redeemed in Jesus Christ by faith; this is accomplished through the human conscience, not letters etched in stone or scratched upon parchment (Galatians 5:16). The work of the Spirit through the human conscience produces “fruit” that honors the Father and supports the Father’s eschatological Plan for Time and Eternity (Galatians 5:22-23; Matthew 7:15-20).

Conclusion,

Elohim has destroyed the works of the Devil (death-Hell-the grave) through the Son and His Gospel at Golgotha and concluded that victory with the words “It is finished” (John 19:30). Genesis 3:21, the shedding of innocent blood to provide humanity an imputed robe of righteousness apart from the works of the law or man’s labor in self-righteousness (fig leaves), was fulfilled by Messiah over 2000-years ago (2 Corinthians 5:21); therefore, walk in peace with Elohim as a result of His own selfless love and sacrifice made known through the Gospel of Jesus Christ our Lord (Romans 5:1).

Clarification: Water Baptism as a work v. Water Baptism as obedience (damnation v. glorification)

A response to a plethora of apostasy and false teaching,

Anyone who preaches, teaches, advocates for, participates in, Water Baptism as an element of salvation in order to supplement the sufficiency of Messiah Jesus’ blood to provide eternal atonement for one’s sin by faith, alone, has fallen from grace, they have rejected faith, they have nullified the Gospel Message, they have rejected grace and faith for works and they remain in their sin and on the Path to the “second death” in Hell as they are a member of a legalistic cult.

Those who contend and argue that Water Baptism is necessary for salvation are no different in their apostate theology than the legalistic Jews in the Galatian community that Paul condemned for their insistence that believing Gentiles must be circumcised in order to be saved.

What is the Truth?

Water Baptism is an act of obedience to Jesus’ command for all who have believed, trusted, in Him to be baptized, immersed in water as demonstrated by Jesus at the initiation of His Earthly ministry (Matthew 3:15; Matthew 28).

Water Baptism does NOT supplement the sole sufficiency of Jesus to atone for sin nor does Water Baptism add to the sufficiency of faith, alone, in Jesus, alone, to save your soul from Hell; therefore, DO NOT ALLOW THE LEGALIST, THE FALSE TEACHERS, to convince you that water baptism is anything other than an act of obedience that FOLLOWS salvation by grace through faith, alone!

Water Baptism in the New Covenant is an outward demonstration to a lost and dying World of what has previously manifest in the heart of the one being baptized. If you love Jesus Christ and desire to honor the Father and the Holy Spirit, participate in water baptism as commanded subsequent initiating covenant relationship with the Father by faith in the Son, Jesus Christ.

Enter into the Baptismal with a heart that understands, acknowledges, the truism that Jesus, alone, by faith, alone, is completely sufficient to save your soul from Hell and that your participation in baptismal water is your public acknowledgement that you plan to follow, obey and serve Jesus Christ as your Lord throughout Time and Eternity.

Is Water Baptism an element of salvation or an act of obedience that follows salvation by “repentance” and “faith” in Messiah as Lord?

Actually, water baptism is interpreted by the Father as “work” or an “act of obedience” depending upon the heart and intent of the one seeking to be baptized. This truism possesses eternal consequences.

Water Baptism as a work of self-righteousness nullifying salvation,

If one seeks water baptism in order to attain righteousness (a right standing) with the Father relevant to salvation, eternal life, their baptism is interpreted by the Father as a work, self-righteousness, a filthy garment (Isaiah 64:6) and no one is saved from Hell by their self-righteous works (Galatians 2:16; Ephesians 2:8-9); therefore, the one who seeks water baptism to supplement the sole-sufficiency of Messiah’s blood as atonement will be rejected (1 Peter 1:19; John 3:16-18).

Water Baptism as an act of obedience,

If one is obedient to Jesus’ command concerning water baptism “subsequent salvation” by repentance and faith (Matthew 28), their baptism honors Jesus the Father and the Holy Spirit as their participation in Water Baptism accurately reflects what has previously transpired within their heart by faith, alone, in Jesus, alone.

Conclusion,

Water Baptism, concerning covenant relationship with the Father, is a self-righteous work if done to supplement the work of Messiah at Golgotha; Water Baptism, concerning covenant relationship with the Father, is a loving act of obedience that glorifies the Father, Son and Spirit when engaged in as an outward sign to the World of what has already transpired within the heart of the redeemed by faith in Jesus as Messiah.

Corrupted Theology defined: If there is no law there is no transgression of the law (Romans 4:15); therefore, sin no longer exists and if no sin, there is no need for redemption or a Redeemer. If Christ’s obedience to the law nullified the condemnation of the law, there is no sin and therefore no need for Jesus Christ as Messiah; therefore, all of humanity is declared “not guilty” and the “second death” in Hell is nullified.

Christian response,

Jesus Christ did not nullify the ramifications of the Law but Jesus provided a Living Way to attain righteousness (a right standing) with the Father by faith; this faith having been placed in the sinless perfection of Jesus as Messiah and the righteousness of Jesus imputed-gifted into the life of the one who believes; this, by covenant promise that manifests in the redeemed, by faith, being adjudicated “not guilty” (Romans 3:21-22; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Hebrews 10:20-22; Hebrews 8:12).

No longer does mankind seek righteousness with Elohim through vain attempts to keep the Law (Romans 3:20) but righteousness with Elohim in the New Covenant is GIFTED – IMPUTED into the life of the one who believes in Jesus as Messiah (2 Corinthians 5:21; Hebrews 8:12).

Concerning the Law,

The “law of conscience” has been extant as an arbiter of free will from the creation of the angels forward (Romans 2:14-15); that same “law of conscience” judged Satan of covetousness and consequently mandated Satan’s extrication from the Kingdom (Luke 10:18) and subsequently mandated the creation of this Realm of Time, the Earth, as a temporary repository for a spiritual war between good v. evil, holiness v. defilement, a war of unfathomable ramifications (1 John 3:8b); that same “law of conscience” judged the Adamic and Noahic generations of unconscionable immorality and violence where all but eight perished in water; that same “law of conscience” is the root and foundation for the written code provided Israel’s children at Sinai; that same “law of conscience” is employed by the Holy Spirit in the New Covenant to conform the redeemed conscience of mankind (2 Corinthians 5:17) into the obedient image of Jesus Christ via the daily process of sanctification (Galatians 5:16) and that same “law of conscience” will be relevant throughout eternity as free will remains extant throughout Eternity by necessity; this, concerning intimacy, relationship, with Elohim.

Humanity and pervasive condemnation as per the Law,

All of humanity is sinful, divine law breakers, by nature (Romans 3:23; Romans 5:12) and therefore requires an Intercessor to provide mandated blood atonement (Leviticus 17:11) and the divine Gift of imputed righteousness by covenant in order that humanity can receive forgiveness of sin and righteousness (a right standing) with the Father by faith (2 Corinthians 5:21), not self-righteousness via works of the Law as by the works of the Law, no flesh will be justified before Elohim (Romans 3:20-21).

The Law and Judgment, Gentile, Jew, Israelite…

For those Gentiles who perish in the Realm of Time having rejected the imputed righteousness of Jesus by faith, these will be judged in Eternity by the “law of conscience.” Those who are children of Israel and die in the Realm of Time having rejected the imputed righteousness of Yeshua will be judged by the written code provided their forefathers. Both the Gentile and the Jew/Israelite who have rejected Jesus Christ as Messiah will die the “second death” in Hell as the “law of conscience” and the “Mosaic Law” will judge them accordingly; this, according to their corrupted works; this, void intercession by Messiah (Revelation 20:11-15; Romans 2:12-29).

How is one filled with the Holy Spirit?

Christian response,

If you desire to be filled with the Holy Spirit, trust – believe in Jesus Christ as your Messiah, trust in Jesus as the One who died to pay your sin-debt and you will receive the infilling of the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 1:13-14). From that time forward, the power and anointing of the Holy Spirit in your life is contingent upon how much of your yourself, your personal will, you’re willing to surrender to the will of the Father for your life and exercise the spiritual gift(s) He has given you in response to your faith (1 Corinthians 12); spiritual gifts that are to be faithfully exercised for the Father’s eschatological plan for Time and Eternity.

The infilling of the Holy Spirit is not manifest through the Church, Pastors, Teachers, Preachers, the laying-on of hands; the infilling of the Holy Spirit is Gifted you as the Spirit is the Guarantor of covenant with the Father when you trust in Jesus Christ as your Messiah; this, by covenant promise (Ephesians 1:13-14; Ezekiel 36:27).

“Baptism in the Holy Spirit?” What is the Truth?

Thirty-years ago, as a new Christian, I involved myself in John Osteen’s “Lakewood Church” in Northeast Houston, Texas. John Osteen, a former Baptist Preacher turned Charasmatic, tongue-talking, full-Gospel, Minister is the deceased father of the infamous Joel Osteen of the modern day “Lakewood Church” in near West Houston, Texas.

John Osteen’s Church was alive, active, busy, (John Osteen was an incredibly charismatic preacher) and “speaking in tongues” and “Baptism in the Holy Spirit” were the “in-things” and these doctrines were taught as evidences of the infilling Holy Spirit and these doctrines were touted as mandated evidence of one’s salvation; in other words, if you did not speak in tongues you were not baptized with the Holy Spirit and therefore you were lost and remained in your sin. This is abuse, this is heresy.

Personally, I was so engrossed in studying the Scriptures while simultaneously captivated by the draw of Charismata that I joined the Ministry of Lakewood Church. During my brief tenure there, I was commanded by administrators to teach children to speak in tongues, then, as a tenured Houston police officer, I was asked to provide security for Benny Hinn’s revival crusade. NEVER in my life, up to that point and subsequently, have I personally observed such mass hysteria, embarrassment, demonically rooted deception under the guise of spiritual enlightenment as what I observed and participated in during my tenure in Churches of Charismata. Needless to say, the Holy Spirit provided me a “front row” to all that is “Full-Gospel” Charismata very early in my walk with Jesus Christ via the indwelling Holy Spirit via sanctification.

Fast forward 30-years of walking with my precious Lord and listening to the indwelling Holy Spirit as He teaches me the Scriptures with such faithfulness and purity. “Baptism in the Holy Spirit,” as taught by Churches of Charismata, is an abused, false doctrine, and today’s tongues find their origin NOT in the Biblical Pentecost or the “Acts of the Apostles” but in paganism; specifically, the Delphic Oracles.

Truth concerning “Baptism in the Holy Spirit,”

The moment one repents of their sin and sincerely believes in their heart that Jesus Christ is Messiah who died for them; that is, Jesus died to pay their sin-debt owed the Father, a debt they could never pay them self (John 3)…it is at the moment one “believes” that Jesus is their Messiah that they receive every ounce, the complete infilling, of the Holy Spirit, forever (Ephesians 1:13-14).

Receiving the fullness of the Holy Spirit is NOT contingent upon the laying-on of hands or the efforts of another but the fullness of the Holy Spirit is received by faith; that is, faith – trust – belief that Jesus Christ is Messiah who died for you. Receiving the fullness of the Holy Spirit is a personal, intimate, resultant of having trusted in Jesus Christ as your Messiah and no man, no Church, can provide you the Gift of the Holy Spirit, ONLY the Father, by covenant promise (Ezekiel 36:27; Jeremiah 31;31-34; Ephesians 1:13-14) provides the Holy Spirit to the one who does His will (John 6:29); that is, believes in the One He has sent into the World to provide you blood atonement for your sin; that is, Jesus Christ our Messiah (John 14:6).

The anointing of the Holy Spirit,

The anointing, the power, the strength, the influence, the veracity of the spiritual gift(s) received when one truly believes in Jesus Christ as Messiah (1 Corinthians 12:8-10) is completely dependent, wholly contingent, upon how much of one’s self, how much of one’s own personal will, they’re willing to surrender to the will of the Father for their life; in other words, the power or “exousía” or “dunamis” of the Holy Spirit in your life is not dependent upon a Church, the laying-on of hands by others, speaking in tongues, but the Holy Spirit’s anointing in one’s life is completely contingent upon “obedience” to the Father’s will, that is, exercising the courage to step-out in faith and do what the Father commands of you with boldness. The Father’s will for your life is manifest and understood by exercising the Spiritual Gifts He has granted you as His child by faith in His Son.

Conclusion,

DO NOT allow the deception of today’s Charismata, Full-Gospel Pentecostalism, to thwart or stymie your walk with Jesus through the Holy Spirit via doctrines of demons that tell you one must “speak in tongues” and be “Baptized in the Holy Spirit” by the laying on of hands or that you must provide evidence of your salvation by speaking in tongues; this is demonic in origin and has resulted in personal horror for far too many as they honestly know they don’t speak in tongues and as a consequence they worry, fret, that they’re lost in sin and that the Lord has rejected them or the Father won’t hear their prayer; tragically, these feel unworthy, rejected, dismayed, and through fretful sleep and daily doubt, their life is replete with spiritual confusion and defeat. DO NOT ALLOW THE deception of CHARISMATA to destroy your walk with Jesus and the JOY of the precious indwelling Holy Spirit.

If one seeks a “sign” concerning their salvation, let them examine their heart and the “fruit of the Spirit” that is produced by the “new creation” in Jesus Christ (Galatians 5: 2 Corintians 5:17). Trust in Jesus with all your heart and the Holy Spirit will direct your path and bathe you in His peace (Proverbs 3:5-6; Romans 5:1). Salvation is “personal intimacy” with our Creator by faith; therefore, walk in peace through the reconciliation provided you by Jesus Christ.
