There’s Only One Gospel of Christ! The Heresy of Pauline Gospel Exclusivity Exploded [podcast]
Some today are claiming there is more than one Gospel. Is this true or false?
An increasing number of vile, diabolical wolves are claiming that there’s more than one Gospel. They claim that Paul had a separate, a different gospel than Jesus and the other apostles and that Paul’s gospel is the only one that counts for New Testament saints. Ready to put this claim to the test?
Paul not only uses the term “my gospel”, he also uses the words “THE gospel” as in only one Gospel! In fact, in the New Testament canon, the words “THE gospel” appear 86 times while Paul’s use of the words “my gospel” appear only 3 times. Paul himself used the term “THE gospel” 59 times! I will leave it to you to do a search of the words “THE gospel” on your King James Bible software. Your jaw will drop as 86 results appear. And as you do, notice that the words “THE gospel” are used before and after Paul used this same term, further proving there’s only one Gospel – “THE gospel” of Jesus Christ.
Rom 1:1 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle (just one of the apostles), separated unto THE GOSPEL of God (not Paul),
Rom 1:2 (Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures,)
Rom 1:3 Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh;
Rom 1:4 And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:
So we must ask, what is “THE GOSPEL”? As we just read, THE one Gospel centers upon and is and has to do with “his Son Jesus Christ our LORD” who was crucified for the sins of the world and raised again from the dead, right? Is Paul the only one who had this revelation? No.
Jesus, “the way, the truth, and the life,” simply used Paul to merely expound upon the ONE Gospel. That doesn’t make the Gospel Paul preached a separate or different gospel. In fact, the Holy Ghost through Paul himself told us that anyone preaching “ANY other gospel” is “accursed.” (Galatians 1:6-9) More on that in a moment.
Also, Paul uses the term “our gospel” 3 times (2 Corinthians 4:3; 1 Thessalonians 1:5; 2 Thessalonians 2:14).
To say there are different gospels would be to say that there is more than one way to God. Jesus Christ is the Gospel, the Good News, and the only way to God (John 14:6). This is the work of “the spirit of antichrist” perpetrated through antichrists (1 John 2:18; 4:1-6).
Before Paul was even saved, the words “many believed” appears 4 times in the Word of God and 1 time shortly after Paul was saved (John 2:23; 8:30; 10:42; 12:42; Acts 9:42). So, were those people, those “many” who believed, believing into “another gospel” – a gospel other than that one Gospel of Christ spoken of throughout the New Testament canon?
So you read the “Left Behind” series and read and listened to Hal Lindsey’s “Late Great Planet Earth” and dispensational poison and yet didn’t read God’s Word for yourself? No wonder you are horribly misled. Repent now and get into God’s Word for yourself as God commanded! (2 Timothy 2:15; Acts 17:10-11)
At this point, any honest person would be utterly ashamed that they ever bought the lie that there’s more than one gospel. Any person saying there’s more than one gospel is preaching “another gospel” and is “accursed.” (Galatians 1:6-9)
It is delusional to believe there’s more than one Gospel of Jesus Christ. The Scriptures of the LORD simply do not teach such and clearly refute such a lie. The only reason there would need to be “another gospel” would be due to the imperfection of “the gospel” of Christ.
The one original Gospel begins with Jesus, not Paul, and Paul only continued what Jesus had started in his preaching of the one original Gospel.
There’s only one kingdom of God. There’s only one Gospel. The term “THE gospel” appears 86 times in the New Testament canon! Paul used the words “my gospel” just 3 times and that doesn’t mean he had a different or separate gospel, but rather that he had revelation of “THE gospel,” that is, the one Gospel and not “another gospel” which he himself says is of “another spirit” and peddled by those who are “accursed.” (Galatians 1:6-9) This is classic slight of hand deception being wielded over the gullible. A simple search of “the gospel” and “my gospel” blows up their sham. The score is 86 to 3. Paul himself used the term “THE gospel” 59 times!!!!! Dispensationalists will never be heard revealing the number differential here because it simply doesn’t play into the agenda they are pushing as they peddle “another gospel.” (Galatians 1:6-9) There is no other Gospel, good news, except Jesus Christ, encapsulated in His one Gospel, “THE Gospel.”
Jesus Christ is “the true God, and eternal life.”
“And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.” 1 John 5:20
Notice Paul’s use of the words “ANY other gospel” – twice… which means there can’t possibly be “ANY other gospel.”
“I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: 7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert THE gospel of Christ. 8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach ANY OTHER gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. 9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach ANY OTHER gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.” Galatians 1:6-9
The phrases “another gospel” and “any other gospel” could mean but one thing – that there is only one Gospel.
What’s Satan’s Goal in this “More than One Gospel” Heresy?
In brief, dispensational theology is the construct of “evil men and seducers”, “ungodly men” who are “turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.” (Jude 4; 2 Timothy 3:13) All dispensationalists teach the golden calf pet doctrine of “once saved always saved” also called “eternal security.” This is done to evade the cross Jesus and His apostles preached and to promulgate the antinomian lie of the ages upon men. They falsely believe that the apostle Paul didn’t address doctrines like repentance, the crucified life, hell fire, etc. This is Satan’s plan to hide the hard truths of Christ’s one Gospel, all of which Paul preached.
Were there Born Again New Testament Saints BEFORE Paul Came Along? YES.
Firstly, at the onset of the record of the Acts of the Apostles, on record in the book of Acts, let us consider that Christ had already shed His precious blood and declared “It is finished.” (John 19:30) “It is finished” simply means “Paid in full.” So, the perfect price for redeeming fallen men was already, a while before Paul was even saved and so, this alone tells us that He who is “not willing that any should perish” was immediately saving souls into His eternal kingdom (1 Timothy 2:4-6; 2 Peter 3:9, etc.).
There’s mountains of evidence that there were well over 8,000 new converts to Christ BEFORE Paul was even saved (Acts 2:41; 4:4). This alone disproves the lie that no one could be saved before Paul came along. Also, this further exposes the deification of Jesus’ servant Paul by dispensational heretics.
The book of Acts is written in chronological order and Paul wasn’t even saved will Acts 9. We witness the birth of the church in the first 2 chapters of Acts.
Jesus tells His 120 gathered together praying that they were going to be baptized with the Holy Ghost. How could anyone believe that Jesus was going to send His Spirit upon lost souls? Ludicrous.
“But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.” Acts 1:8
And Jesus kept His promise:
“And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.” Acts 2:4
Read this to witness how it is further established that many were saved by Christ before Paul was even saved:
“Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do? 38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. 39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call. 40 And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation. 41 Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.” Acts 2:37-41
Under the empowerment of the Holy Spirit, Peter also preached for men to “repent” and “be converted” and so it was obviously possible and happening well before Paul was ever saved.
“Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;” Acts 3:19
Dispensationalist Nightmare
The dispensationalist vainly believes he’s not accountable to the teachings of Christ, the One the dispensationalist claims has saved him. Odd at best. The dispensationalist has bought the egregious lie that only Paul’s writings are essential to New Testament saints. Little do these deceived souls realize that Paul preached exactly what Christ preached – the cardinal doctrines of the one Gospel of Jesus Christ:
- hell/damnation (Romans 1:32; 3:8; 6:23; 13:2; 1 Corinthians 11:29; 2 Corinthians 5:11; Galatians 5:19-21; 2 Thessalonians 2:12; 1 Timothy 5:12, etc.)
- the crucified life (Romans 6; 2 Corinthians 1:9; 3:5; 4:5, 10-12; Galatians 2:20; 5:24; Colossians 3:3, etc.)
- the essential of personal holiness (2 Corinthians 6:14-7:1; Galatians 5:19-21; Ephesians 5:25-27; 1 Thessalonians 4:1-7, etc.)
- the conditions essential to being taken when Christ returns (Ephesians 5:25-27
- repentance (Acts 17:30; 20:21; 26:20; 2 Corinthians 7:8-10; 12:21, etc.)
- judgment (Acts 17:31; 24:25; Romans 1:32; 2:2, 3, 5; 5:16, 18; 14:10; 1 Corinthians 1:10; 4:3; 2 Corinthians 5:10; Galatians 5:10; 2 Thessalonians 1:5; 1 Timothy 5:24)
That which sounds logical is not necessarily biblical. It may sound logical to be told that you can’t understand the bible without learning the different dispensations, but such is never said by god in his word. and, we know he gave us “All things that pertain unto life and godliness” – all things we needed, in His word (2 Peter 1:3-4).
The dispensational system is a doctrine of devils crafted and peddled by deceivers in an attempt to hide the cardinal doctrines, the hard truths of the one Gospel of Jesus Christ in order to promulgate Satan’s eternal security heresy (Genesis 2:17; 3:4). Of all the human writers of the New Testament canon, clearly Paul taught the most on faith and grace and so the dispensationalist can easily hide in things Paul taught while ignoring the hard truths he taught. They aren’t very deep or bright and we know this because Paul taught these same hard truths!
The central passage defining “THE GOSPEL” the only Gospel, is 1 Corinthians 15:1-4:
1Co 15:1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you THE GOSPEL which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
1Co 15:2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
1Co 15:3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
1Co 15:4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
Clearly, to say there is “another gospel” is to say that there’s another way to God – a way other than Jesus Christ.
But Jesus says He alone is exclusively “THE way” and that is exactly what “THE gospel” communicates in no uncertain terms (John 14:6; Acts 4:12; 1 Timothy 2:5).
So, did the Gospel writers, and the apostles John and Peter preach “another gospel”? Did they preach something different than Paul’s gospel? If so they are “accursed” according to Paul and so why would the LORD have sovereignly ordained that their writings were included in the New Testament canon of Holy Scripture? (Galatians 1:6-9) And we know this isn’t true because the Holy Spirit told us through Christ’s apostle Peter that we have the canon of Scripture because “holy men (plural) of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.” (2 Peter 1:21)
Demonic dispensationalists claim that there’s more than one gospel. They falsely teach that the the Gospel of Jesus is different than the gospel of Paul and a different Gospel than Peter and John and the other Holy Spirit inspired writers of the New Testament canon. They falsely extrapolate this from Paul’s use of the term “my gospel.” (Romans 2:16; 16:25; 2 Timothy 2:8)
Let’s put this to the biblical test, shall we?
Paul not only uses the term “my gospel”, he also uses the words “THE gospel” as in only one Gospel! In fact, in the New Testament canon, the words “THE gospel” appear 86 times while Paul’s use of the words “my gospel” appear only 3 times. Paul himself used the term “THE gospel” 59 times! I will leave it to you to do a search of the words “THE gospel” on your King James Bible software. Your jaw will drop as 86 results appear. And as you do, notice that the words “THE gospel” are used before and after Paul used this same term, further proving there’s only one Gospel – “THE gospel” of Jesus Christ – which is not exclusive to Paul dispensation of it which simply refers to his stewardship of the calling God gave him to dispense the one and eternal Gospel of Jesus Christ who is the Gospel.
“Even as it is meet for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart; inasmuch as both in my bonds, and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel, ye all are partakers of my grace.” Philippians 1:7
“My grace” simply refers to the blessing of God’s grace bestowed upon Paul in his ministry to those saints he was writing to. In another place, as Paul spoke of his labor in the LORD, he speaks of “the grace of God which was with me.” (1 Corinthians 15:10)
“But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.” 1 Corinthians 15:10
Paul’s use of the words “my grace” does not mean that it was exclusive to him. Scripture tells us that “GRACE and truth came by Jesus Christ” and is available “to ALL men.” (John 1:17; Titus 2:11)
“Grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.” John 1:17
Inspired by the Holy Spirit, Paul himself penned these words:
“For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to ALL men (not just Paul).” Titus 2:11
The apostle Paul’s use of this term “my grace” doesn’t mean it’s exclusively for or of Paul, a mere man, a messenger. In the same way, his use of the term “my gospel” merely means that he is preaching THE one Gospel of Christ according to the divine calling and grace given to him to do so. He was given grace to preach the one Gospel – of Jesus Christ. 59 times he called it “THE gospel.”
Now do we begin to see how this evil system that falsely claims there’s more than one gospel deifies Paul and demotes Jesus Christ?
The Dispensation Deception of the Dispensationalist Heretics
Now let’s read the 4 Bible verses where Paul uses the word “dispensation.” The Greek word for “dispensation” is oikonomia and refers to an overseer, a fiscal agent who has been given an administration, a stewardship of the one Gospel. Dispensation simply means to dispense.
1Co_9:17 For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a DISPENSATION of the gospel is committed unto me.
Eph_1:10 That in the DISPENSATION of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:
Eph_3:2 If ye have heard of the DISPENSATION of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward:
Col_1:25 Whereof I am made a minister, according to the DISPENSATION of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God;
It is befuddling to realize that the whole dispensationalist movement is built on the foundation of Paul’s use of the word “dispensation” which they completely misinterpret and add volumes to.
Christ’s Gospel or Paul’s Gospel?
“Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God,” Romans 1:1
Paul says here that as “an apostle”, he was “separated unto the gospel of God,” and not his own gospel. False teachers are saying the “gospel of God” and the “gospel of Christ” are two different gospels. One particular fraud, Trey Searcy of Truth Time Radio, used Romans 1:1 in a vain attempt to “prove” this. Let’s look. Here was my reply:
“gospel or God” and “gospel of Christ” are the same gospel – “Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the GOSPEL OF GOD” Romans 1:1…. then in Romans 1:16 “For I am not ashamed of the GOSPEL OF CHRIST: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.” Notice that Paul was not ashamed of “THE gospel of Christ.” Hello. Paul didn’t preach his own gospel. Right here he makes it clear that he preached and was not ashamed of “the gospel of Christ.” Case closed. In Romans 1:16 Paul states that “the gospel of Christ”, not the gospel of Paul, “is the power of God unto salvation.”
According to Romans 1, the “gospel of God” and “gospel of Christ” are one and the same Gospel because “God so loved the world…. “ (John 3:16) …. “the (one and only) GOSPEL OF CHRIST” is “to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.” (Romans 1:1, 16)
Repentance
Here’s more proof that Satan is the author of this whole dispensational system. Jesus says “Except ye repent, ye shall ALL like wise perish.” (Luke 13:3, 5) Paul taught repentance (Acts 20:21; 2 Corinthians 7:9-10). “Repentance” is found 13 times in respect to Paul (Acts thru Hebrews). Repentance is a Gospel essential and so it’s clear that Satan is behind this removal of the need to repent in order to be saved. “Seducing spirits and doctrines of devils” are exactly what this demonic dispensational system is all about (1 Timothy 4:1-2). The men who have concocted this system aren’t very bright or should we say, they are depending on they ignorance of their prey. They are hoping you don’t find out that Paul preached what his Master Christ preached. And that’s why these antichrists dismiss the teachings of Jesus Christ Himself, claiming that His words, Christ’s teachings are not important or essential to those New Testament believers who are saved by this very and only Savior whose teachings they are dismissing. Think on that one.
These dispensational devils are simply regurgitating recycle heresy when they teach that the Gospel Jesus, John the Baptist, and Peter preached a different gospel than Paul preached. The underlying motive is to rid the message of the hard truths. Jesus, John the Baptist, and Paul use verses on repentance like Matthew 3:2; 4:17; Luke 13:3, 5; Acts 17:30-31; 2 Corinthians 7:10; 2 Peter 3:9.
“The antichrists (many) will follow the false prophet which that demonic spirit has clothed themselves as angels of light and has been building the false church and filling it with all kinds of doctrine that falls short of and goes beyond the doctrine of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ as plainly revealed in the New Testament canon of Scripture.” David Taylor
Trey Searcy, Robert Breaker, and all the dispensational wolves are essentially teaching that even though Jesus had already died and rose again, no one could be saved until Paul’s epistles appeared decades later. Paul’s epistles date to beginning in about 60AD. Yet we know by the record of the book of Acts, beginning before Paul was even saved, that 8,000 souls were saved by the LORD via Peter’s preaching at Pentecost, the day the church was born. It was later that Paul was saved (Acts 9).
Was Paul the only messenger (apostle) that the LORD used to reveal His one Gospel? If so, why do we have books in the New Testament canon of other of Christ’s apostles? Why didn’t God not only include Paul’s books in the New Testament canon? Surely those other human writers of New Testament Scripture were also teaching according to Christ’s one Gospel, right? Right. Such is self-evident. Let’s explore the Bible concerning the claims that Paul’s gospel is the only gospel.
A closer look at the whole of Scripture reveals that the one, the exclusive Gospel of Jesus Christ, the Good News, is Christ Himself, and that He used several of His messengers to reveal it to us, not just Paul.
“holy men (plural) of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.” (2 Peter 1:21)
The word “gospel” appears 104 times in the New Testament canon. 28 times the word “gospel” appears outside of Paul’s writings. So, in the 4 Gospels, the word “gospel” is used 17 times. 17 times the word “gospel” appears in the 4 Gospels, specifically associated with the Son of God. This is years before Paul was even saved. Did JESUS have the real “gospel” or did the Almighty Himself have to wait till Paul penned it? Did Jesus bring the Gospel or Paul? Did Jesus die for the sins of the world or did the sinner Paul do so? Did the New Testament church begin at the Day of Pentecost when 3,000 souls were saved under Peter’s preaching or is this a lie and only Paul later brought the true Gospel?
This “more than one gospel” delusion is a laughable heresy being peddled that deifies Paul and demotes Jesus Christ and says that only Paul had the Gospel that applies to New Testament saints and that the “the gospel of Jesus Christ” was “another gospel” for another people (2 Corinthians 11:4; Galatians 1:6-9). Anyone teaching this is a false teacher. Run! The Pauline cult.
“The beginning of THE gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God;” Mark 1:1
“Gospel” means good news and is directly coupled with “Jesus Christ, the Son of God.” Paul is not the good news, Jesus Christ is. Jesus Christ chose and appointed the apostle Paul to preach HIS (Jesus’) one Gospel and yet Paul is but a mere man as were the other apostles. Jesus Christ is God.
“…the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ: 15 Which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords; 16 Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen.” 1 Timothy 6:14-16
No different than when John wrote that he was “the disciple whom Jesus loved”, so Paul used the words “my gospel” which dispensationalists erroneously take to mean Paul had his own gospel, a different Gospel. Beware. Was John the only “disciple whom Jesus loved”? Was Paul the only messenger of the one true “gospel of Jesus Christ”? No. The use of the words “THE gospel” before and after Paul in the New Testament canon make this abundantly clear. One singular Gospel preached by John the Baptist, Jesus, and His holy apostles. And Jesus Himself is that Gospel! Paul was but one of the messengers Jesus Christ sent to communicate His one Gospel, which reveals HIMSELF. In fact, Paul wrote “For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus’ sake.” (2 Corinthians 4:5)
Paul simply revealed much more of the gospel of Jesus. He was commissioned with a dispensational stewardship to unfold the Gospel of Jesus Christ which began to be preached in the 4 Gospel books. Dispensational simply means to dispense and yet the dispensational wolves have defined it as much more with no biblical authority to do so. That does not mean it was a different Gospel which brings a curse as “another gospel.” (Galatians 1:6-9) That’s why it’s dangerous language to say Paul had a different gospel or that there’s more than one Gospel. Scripture clearly refutes this antichrist heretical idea which is designed to confuse and distract from Christ – the only “Head” of His one body (Colossians 1:18-19; 2:18-19).
Paul himself says that if any person or angel preaches “ANY other gospel” he is “accursed.” (Galatians 1:6-9) Christ’s Gospel as is documented in “ALL scripture” and not just the writings of Paul (2 Timothy 3:16; Galatians 1:6-9). The only other gospels we read about in God’s Word would be a false gospel, “another gospel” and “ANY other gospel” and the acceptance or preaching of such makes one “accursed.” (2 Corinthians 11:4; Galatians 1:6, 8-9)
Paul had a specific part in dispensing the revelation of the one original Gospel of Jesus Christ as did Peter and John and the other divinely ordained scribes of the New Testament Scriptures (Matthew 13:52).
Paul had a further revelation of THE one Gospel, that’s all. But people are being gullible and heretical to say there’s more than one Gospel.
Just because God used Paul to unfold, to reveal that Gospel, doesn’t make it Paul’s Gospel which cancels out any and all other references or men HE used to dispense or reveal His one Gospel. That’s heresy and an interpretational error and this type twisting of the truth is the type thing done by cults.
If God ordained that the word “gospel” appear many times outside of Paul’s writings, especially in the singular, definite article form of “THE gospel,” did He not ordain that we understand that He gave us just one Gospel? Yes.
Peter, Christ’s apostle, uses the word “gospel” 4 times in 1 Peter, without the name of Paul. So, did Peter have and preach “another gospel” which would make him “accursed”? (Galatians 1:6-9) Yes or no?
“The Gospel of God” appears 7 times in the New Testament and was used both by Paul and Peter, neither one hinting or attributing it to themselves – but as it reads – “the gospel of GOD”, not man.
It’s interesting to note that the phrase “the gospel of Paul” appears no where in the Bible.
Notice this:
“Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostleS (plural!) and prophets by the Spirit;” Ephesians 3:5
Did Paul state that he was the only one the one Gospel was revealed to? No. Instead Paul tells us that “it is now revealed unto his holy apostleS (plural!) and prophets (plural) by the Spirit;” Case closed.
The one Gospel was now “revealed unto his holy apostleS and prophets (plural) by the Spirit” and not just Paul (Ephesians 3:5).
Paul is saying that “now” under the New Covenant, the fulness of the one Gospel of Christ is revealed.
He speaks of “other ages” which refers to the past ages and times and puts the emphasis on the timing of GOD, not Paul’s revelation which were from GOD. Yet the divine revelations were certainly not only given to Paul. They were given to “his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit” of which Paul is but one of them.
Listening to the disdaining tone of those who peddle this heresy that Paul is the only one who had the gospel, is disturbing and revealing. They are cult teachers, blaming anything you’ve ever learned as being of “religion.” This is classis cultic action to discredit the truth in order to bring in the lie. Sophomoric at best. This technique is often used by deceivers. While they themselves corrupt the Word of God, they arrogantly act is if they have exclusive rights and the sole ability to “rightly divide (ing) the word of truth.” (2 Timothy 2:15)
“Ye have taken away the key of knowledge” (Luke 11:52)
Saints, there is no end to the insidious wolves working right in our midst today who each have their own special angle to sell you on. They won’t tell you just to get into God’s Word organically and seek His face relentlessly. Why? Well, they want to control the interpretation of the Bible with their “private interpretation” and they want you as a customer and a return customer (2 Peter 1:19-21). This is how indoctrination occurs. So many today are vying for your attention to their ministry, their teaching, seeking to convince, to sell you on the notion that THEY have the exclusive inside scoop, the keys to understanding the Bible. This includes those who claim the Bible can’t be understood without knowing the original languages, the lie that you can’t understand the New Testament without knowing all the Hebrew roots, and those who chop up and interpret the Bible via dispensations, etc. Whether subtly or blatantly, each claims to have the exclusive keys to understanding the Bible.
Jesus warned:
“Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered.” Luke 11:52
Principally, taking away “the key of knowledge” deals with stealing center stage, cornering the market on interpretation, displacing God from teaching His children (1 John 2:20, 27).
The Greek word for “key” in Luke 11:52 (above):
κλείς
kleis
klice
From G2808; a key (as shutting a lock), literally or figuratively: – key.
This rebuke and expose’ of Jesus concerning lawyers refers to those in leadership who serve the god of self and therefore block the knowledge of God from and misdirect, mislead the people under their influence.
Of this verse John Wesley wrote:
“Ye have taken away the key of knowledge – Ye have obscured and destroyed the knowledge of the Messiah, which is the key of both the present and the future kingdom of heaven; the kingdom of grace and glory. Ye have not entered in – Into the present kingdom of heaven.”
Adam Clarke writes:
“Ye have taken away the key of knowledge – By your traditions ye have taken away the true method of interpreting the prophecies: ye have given a wrong meaning to those scriptures which speak of the kingdom of the Messiah, and the people are thereby hindered from entering into it. See on Matthew 23:13 (note).
Ye shut up the kingdom – As a key by opening a lock gives entrance into a house, etc., so knowledge of the sacred testimonies, manifested in expounding them to the people, may be said to open the way into the kingdom of heaven. But where men who are termed teachers are destitute of this knowledge themselves, they may be said to shut this kingdom; because they occupy the place of those who should teach, and thus prevent the people from acquiring heavenly knowledge.
The kingdom of heaven here means the Gospel of Christ; the Pharisees would not receive it themselves, and hindered the common people as far as they could.”
Speaking of not being right there in the Bible, where does the BIBLE instruct New Testament believers to discern, to view the Bible via dispensations? Nowhere. And to assert such is to deceptively add to the Bible, the Word of God and be under the curse of Revelation 22:18-19.
Demonic dispensationalists refuse to synthesize the whole of Scripture and therefore claim there is more than one gospel and that New Testament saints are only responsible for obeying Paul’s writings – Romans through Philemon. This they do in the face of a holy God who guarantees the lake of fire to all who remove from His Word (Revelation 22:18-19). They ditch half the New Testament canon to reduce saving faith to something that doesn’t require true repentance, something much less deep than what Jesus and disciples define it as – true, necessary repentance which always, without exception, produces a holy, obedience life (Luke 13:3, 5; Matthew 3:7-10, etc.). You see, repentance was and is the first word, the first command of the original Gospel, done by faith, and that which ushers in the necessary divine regeneration (Acts 20:21).
Jesus says “Ye MUST be born again” and “born again” is synonymous with what Paul calls “the washing of regeneration.” (John 3:3, 7; Titus 3:5-7)
Recently while talking to a lady who has been ensnared in this dispensation cult, I said this:
Why do you think those wolves taught you that only some or none of the book of Hebrews applies to New Testament saints? Hebrews addresses all of the “holy brethren” 3:1 and so if you’re saved, the whole book of Hebrews applies to you and the witness of the same truths throughout the book of Hebrews is all over the rest of the New Testament. In this alone they are caught red handed. As to the reason these dispensationalist frauds are teaching that Hebrews doesn’t apply, let me help you: They taught you this lie – the lie that Hebrews doesn’t apply to you – because they know Hebrews repeatedly dismantles and obliterates their primary pet heresy – once saved always saved, eternal security. You are being deceived and have a deceiving spirit over your life and it will remain until God opens your eyes and you repent and return to Him (Hosea 14:1-2; 2 Corinthians 3:14-16; 1 Timothy 4:1-2).
The Greater Danger
Those who bought this Pauline gospel heresy did not learn these things from reading Scripture for themselves – they learned this heresy by listening to mere sinful men, wolves who imposed this system on the Scriptures and led them to believe this lie by isolating a few certain phrases, words, and verses to the exclusion of the whole counsel of Scripture. Cultist like this usually hyper-interpret certain verses, words, phrases while ignoring the whole of what Scripture communicates.
HOW do you know if someone is imposing something upon the Scripture text they are reading from IF you haven’t personally, organically, thoroughly studied the whole of God’s Word for yourself? You don’t.
That’s why it’s essential to personally study the Bible organically and not be influenced by mere men. Many have been misled. They DID NOT go into the Bible and read it all by themselves with the Holy Ghost and come out with these ideas. It took some crafty deceiver or deceivers to convince you of this heretical view and much more.
Are you a dispensationalist? Yes or no?
Do you realize that the Bible never says to read it or view the kingdom of Christ via dispensations? There is no Scripture which gives such a hint or instruction. This is the work of devils and sinful men (1 Timothy 4:1-2)
Beware of “Strange Doctrines”
We were warned about “strange doctrines” and that is what this heresy that Paul alone had the gospel is – “Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied therein.” (Hebrews 13:9)
The larger error and concern here is that those who’ve been taught this heresy are inevitably gullible and easily misled and will be further snared and deceived by the vile wolves who taught them this error.
These ravenous wolves are teaching that Paul is the only one who had and gave the one true Gospel of Christ. Total heresy.
Long before Paul penned his epistles, the apostles of Christ, without Paul, ascertained what was necessary under the New Testament Gospel. See Acts 15. So, did they have the one true Gospel? To say they didn’t is utterly dishonest and false. To say John, Peter, James, and the other apostles of Christ and writers of the New Testament Scripture didn’t have the one true Gospel is to curse the whole life and ministry of Christ Himself. To say such is to say that the Gospel wasn’t available to men before 60AD. That would mean Jesus’ perfect blood sacrifice was blocked and ineffectual, not available to redeem men for approximately 30 years after He died to save all men.
Is Paul the only One Christ trusted with His one Gospel? No!
If only Paul had the only Gospel that applies to New Testament saints, why do we have books from others in the New Testament canon? Did the Almighty make a mistake? Did He give us things we didn’t need in His Word?
Of the 27 books of the New Testament canon, Paul wrote 13 (or 14 if you count Hebrews). Peter wrote 2 and John wrote 4 of the canon books. Why did God give us New Testament authors other than Paul if Paul had the only Gospel or revelation of it? Peter used the term “THE gospel” 4 times. Are you going to say the LORD is a fraud for including Peter’s version of the ONE Gospel in the New Testament canon? Someone is lying and it’s not the LORD.
“The Everlasting Gospel”
Notice below how in Revelation 14:6 we read the words “the everlasting gospel” and not “Paul’s gospel.”
“And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having THE EVERLASTING GOSPEL to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,” Revelation 14:6
Paul merely used the phrase “my gospel” as referring to the revelation Jesus gave him of the one true Gospel. And that one true Gospel was not limited to Paul. Jesus wasn’t limited and clearly didn’t limit His divine revelation to one messenger. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have other of Christ’s apostles expounding upon the one Gospel of Christ.
There’s only 1 Gospel. Just because God gave Paul an apportioned revelation of the LORD’s one Gospel, doesn’t mean it was exclusively Paul’s Gospel, or was only revealed by Paul, or that it’s another Gospel. Cease the heresy now.
Echoing this same heavenly warning and truth as did Paul in Galatians 1, the apostle John wrote that if anyone who is saved doesn’t continue in “the doctrine of Christ“, such a person no longer has God but rather is now an apostate, a departed lost soul.
“Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth (remains) in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.” 2 John 9
Notice that the apostle John here doesn’t tell us that Paul exclusively authored “the doctrine of Christ.” So, did God forget to tell us something we needed to know? Not a chance. If Paul’s writings were the only ones written directly to us, then why are we never told such in Scripture?
It’s Christ’s Gospel, not exclusively the Gospel Jesus gave to Paul which He also gave to all of His apostles – and that’s why it’s called “the apostle’s doctrine” in Acts 2:42 and not “Paul’s gospel.”
The term “THE gospel” appears 4 times in 1 Peter 1, penned by the apostle Peter. And, Paul isn’t mentioned once in these instances as associated with the Gospel.
1Peter 1:12 Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached THE GOSPEL unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.
1Peter 1:25 But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by THE GOSPEL is preached unto you.
1Peter 4:6 For for this cause was THE GOSPEL preached also to them that are dead, that they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God in the spirit.
1Peter 4:17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not THE GOSPEL of God?
The one “Gospel of God” is not exclusive to Paul, it’s for all….. and “is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;” (Ephesians 3:5) The Bible never says the New Testament Gospel was exclusively revealed to and through Paul. Paul didn’t even believe that. He himself says that the Gospel is “now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit.” (Ephesians 3:5)
Dispensationalists are claiming that Paul’s revelation, as is recorded in the Bible, is MORE divinely inspired than that of the other 39 writers. But Paul himself didn’t believe that (2 Timothy 3:16).
“For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation of the gospel is committed unto me.” 1 Corinthians 9:17
G3622
οἰκονομία
oikonomia
oy-kon-om-ee’-ah
From G3623; administration (of a household or estate); specifically a (religious) “economy”: – dispensation, stewardship.
Total KJV occurrences: 8
So, “a dispensation of the gospel” simply means that Paul was given the divine responsibility, the stewardship of administering, dispensing the Gospel to the Gentiles. That doesn’t exclude the other apostles Jesus used to make known His Gospel.
Baptism
As usual, these cultists butcher the doctrine of baptisms. In a vain attempt to prove that Paul’s is a separate gospel, dispensational wolf Trey Searcy says: “But Paul says there is now only “one baptism.” (Ephesians 4:5) But in Hebrews 6 the writer chides believers for not knowing the foundational “the doctrine of baptisms.” Notice, “baptismS” is plural. Elsewhere, in 1 Corinthians 12:13, Paul speaks of being baptized or immersed into Christ and therefore His body by the Holy Spirit upon being born again and that’s what “one baptism” is referring to in Ephesians 4:5.
“For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. 13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.” 1 Corinthians 12:12-13
“There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;
Eph 4:5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
Eph 4:6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.” Ephesians 4:4-6
All cults indoctrinate their prey using a few Bible verses to the exclusion of the whole of Scripture. All other Scripture is ignored or slanted and bent by those who handle the Word of God deceitfully (2 Corinthians 4:1-2). This is exactly what we see the dispensational devils doing.

“THE GREAT DRAGON” [podcast]
Excerpt from the book Lie of the Ages
Origin of Evil
“And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.” ~ Revelation 12:9
Like it or not, you have a sworn enemy. He has drawn a line in the sand. You are in a war for your eternal soul and you must fight or you will be destroyed.
The introduction to the God of all creation and lover of His highest creation—mankind, is of supreme importance. And so is realizing and understanding the existence of the most wicked and iniquitous being in this universe. He is one of the major themes and realities in this record of mankind’s beginning. The Word of our God unveils creation’s account, leading to our present day and into the eternal future. What is set forth in the book of Genesis would set the stage and affect all of the history that would follow.
This book of origins is about that fatal falsehood which emanates from the Garden where it all began—a garden that was sinless bliss and perfection until the lie was introduced and acted upon by the first two people.
Of this very archenemy of the Most-High, from whom all lies originate, the Word states: “Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God” (Ezek. 28:13). The serpent, animated by the vilest of all beings, was allowed to slither into the innocence and purity that originally existed in the sanctuary of creation. This was due to the fact that perfect divine wisdom has seen fit to allow His creation to have the opportunity of choice between good and evil (Deut. 30:19; Josh. 24:15; Job 12:16; 1 Cor. 11:19).
Satan has a purpose. Since love is volitional by its very nature, our Creator has seen fit to permit this evil and beguiling villain to remain present amidst those professing sanctuary in the LORD. Life on earth is a test for all—all humans are on probation. Love is a choice and so is rebellion. The Maker of all made man with free will so that the choice could be made to love or not to love Him. Among volumes of other Scriptures found in Holy Writ which demonstrate this, the following words from on high make plain that the LORD made Man with free will: “Choose you this day whom ye will serve” (Josh. 24:15).
Such a statement would not have been spoken by the LORD if He had not made man with the ability of choice. Man was created with the ability to “choose” every “day” whom he will serve, and this choice is ongoing while men are upon the earth in this temporal life.
It would be remiss to attempt discussing the very lie of the ages without opening the grand subject of the one whom Christ said was the father (originator) of all lies. Of Satan, the Son of God informed us, as He spoke to the rebellious religionists of His day:
“Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.” ~ John 8:44
All men are born in sin and are “by nature” the “children of disobedience.”
“Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.” ~ Ephesians 2:2-3
There are, at this moment only two classes of people in the earth—those who have relationship with the One who made us all, and those who don’t. According to this passage (Ephesians 2), all those who have not been brought into the kingdom of God through Christ, have as their father, the devil. The reason the Son of God came to the earth was to sever the ties and claim of Satan from mankind. He came to deliver men from this relationship of fear, domination and bondage that is only enabled by sin.
“To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.” ~ Acts 26:18
“Who (God the Father) hath delivered us from the power of darkness (Satan), and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins.” ~ Colossians 1:13-14
The mission of Christ was to reconcile or restore the relationship that had been severed by the sin of the first man and woman which caused death (separation) to fall upon all men, the whole race (Romans 5:12). He fully accomplished His mission and is now seated at His Father’s right hand, enforcing this victory (Heb. 4:14-16; 7:25-26).
From the dawn of the creation and fall of mankind, all evil, tragedy and pain in history has been caused by Satan and enabled by man’s sin (Prov. 26:2). Only the LORD, the One whose holiness is violated when sin is committed, can save, restore and heal (Jer. 17:14; 1 Cor. 15:57; Rev. 21:4).
Victory was obtained through the precious blood of Jesus (1 Pet. 1:18-19). Being forgiven and released from all sin and its evil effects and the dominion of Satan, comes through Christ alone. Jesus utterly conquered His enemy on the cross (Col. 2:13-15; 1 Jn. 3:8). Blessed forgiveness and spiritual power enables the individual disciple to serve the LORD without fear and bondage to sin. Sin enables Satan’s rule and only those who are free from it by Jesus Christ can rule over His enemies (Ps. 8:6; 17:4; Jn. 8:31-36; 1 Jn. 4:4). Christ triumphed over the enemy of all souls with His death on the cross and resurrection from the dead. Read the following passage for all it’s worth:
“For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell; And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven. And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight: If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel.” ~ Colossians 1:19-23
The Son of God accomplished complete victory in bringing God and men back into perfect union by “the blood of His cross” (Col. 1:20).
“And you, being dead (separated) in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened (made alive) together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses; Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a show (sport; spectacle) of them openly, triumphing over them in it.” ~ Colossians 2:13-15
The “serpent” who was in the Garden of creation and still “walketh about” in the midst of the earth, is specifically identified as Satan and the devil (1 Pet. 5:8; Rev. 12:9; 20:2). This ultimate enemy of all that is good took control of the serpent in his attack against man. The serpent, animated by the enemy of souls himself, was used as the instrument that led to the fall of mankind and the righteous retribution of the holy Creator. Yet, Jesus Christ accomplished mankind’s redemption through “the blood of His cross” (Col. 1:20).
Know Your Enemy
Allow me to parenthetically say here that if one does not personally believe in a literal devil (Satan) and his insidious work of evil among men, then perhaps that person will do well to begin to search God’s Word for the volumes of Scripture which identify and describe him along with unveiling his wicked purposes. The LORD inspired the Scriptures and has much to say about His enemy—our enemy. It is interesting to discover that the word “devil” appears 57 times in the Bible. The word “Satan” appears 50 times. These are the most utilized terms to describe this darkest of fallen beings, and yet there are several more which identify this enemy of all souls who is the personification of evil, such as “serpent,” and “adversary” (1 Pet. 5:8; Rev. 12:9).
“And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.” ~ Revelation 12:9
His goal may be summed up this way: Satan’s complete and total purpose that underlies all that he does is to cause men to fall from grace just as he himself did and was banished from fellowship with the life-giving God. There is a horrible prison of fire which will be the eternal home of all who leave this earth apart from a personal and intimate relationship with the One who died for sinners.
On Judgment Day, that Great and Terrible Day of separation between the righteous and the unrighteous will include these horrible words “from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away”:
“And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.” ~ Revelation 20:11-15
To those whose existence in this temporal life ends disconnected from the only Savior, the following will be the verdict delivered to them in Judgment: “Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels” (Matt. 25:41).
Hell is a place of indescribably horrid eternal punishment and was created by the LORD for his archenemy and all those who are not His.
Back to the enemy, the one who wants you dead and in hell: “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour” (1 Pet. 5:8).
One may find great intrigue in uncovering this iniquitous fallen foe and gain much insight into the dark world of demons and deception along with gaining perception into the real battle in the spirit realm that rages over mankind.
“Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” ~ Ephesians 6:11-12
By the volume of information about His enemy included in His Word, we know that the LORD intended for us to know our enemy—His enemy.
Believers are to give him no place: “Neither give place to the devil” (Eph. 4:27).
Believers are to set themselves against him: “Resist the devil, and he will flee from you” (Jas. 4:7); “Stand against the wiles of the devil” (Eph. 6:11).
Believers are to know his scheming goals and ways and avoid them lest he gain advantage of us: “Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices” (2 Cor. 2:11).
The devil seeks to trip up, war against, wear out and devour the sheep of the LORD’s pasture. He has come to wreak havoc among the Lord’s highest creation: “The thief (devil) cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly” (John 10:10).
Power Over All the Power of the Enemy
Believers are warned to live in obedience to the Word of God in order to escape falling into “the condemnation of the devil” and being caught in “the snare of the devil” or giving an “advantage” to him (1 Tim. 3:6-7; 2 Tim. 2:26; 2 Cor. 2:11).
The enemy of our souls prospers through the ignorance of God’s people—he is shut out and his work nullified by the knowledge and obedience of God’s people.
“By the word of thy lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer.” ~ Psalms 17:4
“He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.” ~ Psalms 91:1
Disciples of Jesus are kept from being destroyed by the enemy in obeying the Word of God. Holy Writ informs us that Jesus came to successfully “destroy the works of the devil” and that “greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world” (1 Jn. 3:8; 4:4).
Christ promised power to those who are truly His:
“And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name. And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.” ~ Luke 10:17-20
Jesus Christ, the eternal Word, became flesh so that He might destroy the works of the enemy of our souls:
“Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil.” ~ Hebrews 2:14
Believers are told to be of a sober mind and diligent in light of the proactive and evil plans of Satan to destroy them:
“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world”. ~ 1 Peter 5:8-9
Here’s what the Bible says about Satan’s work in the last days:
“Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.” Revelation 12:12
As foretold here, the work of the evil one is accelerating in this late hour before the destruction of all rebellion and return of our LORD Jesus Christ.
The Alpha and Omega is coming back, and His enemy’s end is sure:
“And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.” ~ Romans 16:20
“And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years, And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season.” ~ Revelation 20:2-3
“And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.” ~ Revelation 20:10
Surrounded and Outnumbered
Elisha’s servant was brought to the understanding that there are more angels of God with God’s children than there are fallen angels who rebelled:
“And when the servant of the man of God was risen early, and gone forth, behold, an host compassed the city both with horses and chariots. And his servant said unto him, Alas, my master! how shall we do? And he (the prophet Elisha) answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them. And Elisha prayed, and said, LORD, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.” ~ 2 Kings 6:15-17
The one who is following Christ need not fear. LORD Jesus open our eyes! Nothing has changed—there are “more” angels of the LORD “with us…than they that be with them (the enemy).” The saints of the Most High are promised protection and His angels are part of that plan.
“Are they (God’s angels) not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation.” ~ Hebrews 1:14
“The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.” ~ Psalms 34:7
In Heaven and in eternity past, two-thirds of the then-angelic beings remained under the command and blessing of the Almighty, while a third chose to depart with Lucifer and are forever alienated from the Most High. Let’s take a glimpse into a war that took place in Heaven in eternity past, a war that has great impact today:
“And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time. ~ Revelation 12:7-12
It would remain difficult to understand this life and present world system, and the world to come if one were to pass lightly over this war of wars that occurred (took place) in Heaven. When we begin to delve into the data given in this matter, understanding comes of our great God and His arch adversary. Enlightenment and understanding into the 6,000 years of mankind’s history open to us when we know what preceded this time period. Knowledge into what we are told prophetically is transpiring before our very eyes. As we are seeing, the Holy Scriptures reveal much about that dark and sinister being called “Satan” and the “devil” who is and will have a large part to play in the fulfillment of prophecy. Although his rebellion against the Almighty began in eternity past, the serpent’s workings among men began in the Garden of Eden. He crept in to accomplish his wicked agenda. He has seemingly succeeded for this moment, yet the divine promise is that his time is running short. “The devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time” (Rev. 12:12).
The First Fall-Out: Eternal Termination
We all understand what it means when someone says, “John and Mark had a falling-out.” This means they were friends or business partners, and then because of some disagreement, they parted company and are no longer friends. Well, the first falling-out occurred between the Almighty and Lucifer. The angel Lucifer fell out of the favor of God and consequently fell out of Heaven. Of Lucifer’s ejection from Heaven, the Son of God stated: “I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven” (Lk. 10:18).
The evil one was evicted from Heaven when he turned against God. Originally, he was a good angel, “the anointed cherub,” who led the worship of the Almighty, until the day that “iniquity was found” in him (Ezek. 28:14-15). Lucifer, who became Satan and the devil, led a third of the angels of the Most-High God in rebellion against Him. “And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth” (Rev. 12:4).
Ultimately, all deception and all lies have their origin in this greatest of all enemies who brought about the sin and fall of mankind and wages war today against the Almighty’s highest creation (mankind). Of Satan, the Son of God said: “for he is a liar, and the father of it” (Jn. 8:44). He also informed us that this supreme adversary has come to do three things— “to steal, to kill, and to destroy” (Jn. 10:10). He wages war against God and His people. He is defined as and called “the accuser of our brethren” (Rev. 12:10).
Satan is a real being. He is not a figment of someone’s imagination. In fact, anyone who is convinced of such has already been conquered by his deception. He is forever the sworn enemy of the LORD, and will ultimately be put away for good, never again to tempt another soul to rebel against the Maker of all that is. “And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever” (Rev. 20:10).
The one who studies the Word of God will gain priceless insight into the reasons for the current condition of the world, and, into the future blessedness of all those who know and follow the One who bled to save us from God’s holy wrath against sin and Satan (Rom. 5:9). In fact, a divine blessing is pronounced upon all who read and obey the words of Holy Scripture: “Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand” (Rev. 1:3).
PRAYER: Holy Father in Heaven, please bless me to know You more and to be kept from the evil one and his wicked schemes against Your people. Right this moment I ask You for and receive a fresh cleansing of all my sins by the blood of Jesus Christ my LORD and Savior, whereby I am blessed to overcome, along with the word of my testimony of how you have washed and delivered me. I declare afresh and aloud, right this second, if never before, that Jesus Christ is LORD of my life, and He alone will I worship and serve. Glory to His precious Name! In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

The Deaths of Voddie Baucham vs Charlie Kirk [podcast]
Yes it’s an amazing impact and effect God is doing in the lives of so many through Charlie Kirk’s life and death. Undeniable. His life wasn’t perfect, neither was Abraham’s, Rahab’s, Noah’s, Moses, Samson, Peter…. etc. God has each of them with Him now. Dare you pretend to self righteously pretend to be wiser and more just than the Almighty? You’ve been telling everyone else to repent and yet perhaps now it’s your time to obey the LORD’s command to repent (Acts 17:30).
Compare how people are reacting to Voddie Baucham vs how they are reacting to the death of Charlie Kirk.
Interestingly, some of the same people condemning Charlie Kirk listen to Voddie Baucham.
A simple search confirms Voddie Baucham’s Calvinism. He died a heretic. He never renounced the false teachings of Clvinism. In contrast Charlie Kirk denounced bribe money, Catholicism. My inclination is to blast Catholics but Charlie Kirk’s method was much wiser… and so he retained the ear and attention of the Catholics which has and will continue to lead many to Christ. My own family member is now saved due to Charlie Kirk.
The error man can do does not negate the WORD of God, the truth that the same man may have spoken – because GOD’s Word shall always “accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.”
“So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.” Isaiah 55:11
Judas was sent by Jesus to preach the Gospel, heal the sick, raise the dead, etc. See Matthew 10:1-8. Then after that, Judas sinned and betrayed the Son of God. Should we believe that Judas’ sin thereafter somehow negates, does away with the work God accomplished through him previous to his rebellion?
Now I hear and heard Charlie saying he salutes the Mormons due to their sending missionaries all over the world, etc. Not good. I don’t think Charlie knew the slightest bit about what Mormons really believe. I remember after being saved that I thought Mormons were just another Christian group, till I was pulled aside and enlightened by true disciples. Had Charlie been enlightened to what Mormonism really is, he’d have denounced them as he did the Catholic church, who he started out believing were true. He later found out what they believed and denounced it. Is it a sin to be immature in the faith, to not understand everything? No. If that were the case why would God have ever address those immature in the faith? Hebrews 5:11-14; 1 John 2:14
Has God used you?
Does God use imperfect vessels?
Surely you wouldn’t claim sinless perfection, would you? (Job 9:20; Proverbs 20:9; 1 John 1:8-10)
Isn’t finishing strong in faith in Christ what is most important? Yes (2 Timothy 4:6-8).
What about Noah who got drunk? (Genesis 9:21)
How about Abraham who lied and even adulterated with his Egyptian handmaid? (Genesis 16)
What about Moses who killed a man and also struck the rock instead of speaking to it as God instructed him to do? (Numbers 20)
How about David who committed adultery with Bathsheba and then had her husband murdered and then sought a cover up? (2 Samuel 11-12).
No this does not justify sin and yet, God is just and holy and yet He’s merciful to His own, as they repent (Psalms 103:10-12).
Can you disprove the veracity of the above?
“Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.” 2 Timothy 2:19
Charlie Kirk vs Vodie Bauchum
Bauchum, like Washer, Piper, and MacArthur, spent his life pushing Calvinism, a false system of theology. Every false teacher shall have eternal “damnation” (2 Peter 2:1-3).
Voddie was close friends and Calvinist ministry cohorts with the likes of Paul Washer, John Piper, and John MacAthur, all Calvinist heretic false teachers. See Ezekiel 22:25-27.
The Idiocy of Calvinism
Some claim that Charlie Kirk pushed a false Christianity. Is that true?
In my opinion, Sam Adams seems to have no joy, the fruit of the Spirit…. (Galatians 5:22-23). He’s reading from a script in this video. Just because someone is exposing something doesn’t mean they are in the truth and giving a fair, thorough, just assessment of such. I’m not buying into Sam’s version of this. The facts seem to reveal something different. Sam is a hardshell baptist type and though he’s said some good things, he seems to be going dark. Remember, Sam Adams teaches the heresy of OSAS/eternal security, which was Satan’s first lie and it led to the fall of mankind then and is now doing so (Genesis 2:17; 3:4). The facts seem to indicate that Charlie finished in the faith. He rejected Catholicism and other cultic persuasions. Where were the Sam Adam’s when the young man was being misled? Were they reaching out to help him as did Aquilla and Priscilla when they encountered the young man Apollos when he needed help in maturing in Christ? Acts 18. Be careful what you listen to saints. | Eternal Security is a Life from Hell
Wisdom sees beyond the surface. Charlie was a young man whose discernment was very shallow at best. In the end, he died in the faith, declaring that it’s all about Jesus and that Jesus died for our sins to give us eternal life. Like Samson his life was spotted as are all of our lives. He defended the Bible and faith against a Mormon who was trying to convert him, literally seconds before he was assassinated. A month before that he denounced Catholicism as false. What many fail to understand is that every evil system of antichrists will come after those who have a platform, so that they can have that platform, they can seize that opportunity to get their evil message to the masses. The facts reveal that Charlie was gaining traction against these evil systems and that’s why they murdered him. He hard rejected, turned down $150 million to compromise with Israel. That’s the fair fruit we should see him by it seems (Matthew 7:16, 20).
Samson finished strong
“And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets:” Hebrews 11:32
Reminder: The thief on the cross lived a whole life of sin. In his dying moment he called on Jesus and was forgiven, pardoned, and promised paradise. He’s been there with Jesus and the saints for 2,000 years (Luke 23:42-43).
“Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; 6 Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.” 1 Timothy 2:4-6
Are we underestimating the mercy of God for “all men”? Are we looking for ways to exclude eternal souls from His kingdom? If YOU died right now, would there be things you did that people could isolate and blow up into a huge issue and yet ignore that you died in faith, you died in the faith?
“For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.” James 2:13
Have you fought a good fight? Have you fought a perfect fight, a fight with no sinful set backs?
Who did Jesus say was seeking to sift the apostle Peter?
“And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, SATAN hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: 32 But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.” Luke 22:31-32
This reveals to us that Satan who “walketh about seeking whom he may devour”—seeks to devour, to swallow up, to sift all who are in Christ—just as he did with Peter the apostle of Christ (1 Peter 5:8).
After being sifted by Satan and sinning, Peter was then restored to the LORD and soon after went forth to preach to 8,000 people who all repented and received Christ! See Acts 2-4.
As a recent example, do we think from the evidence that Satan sought to sift, to seduce, to devour Charlie Kirk? Yes he did and yet it seems that as it was with the case with Jesus and Peter, Charlie finished in faith.
Some choose to emphasize the things Charlie seemed to dabble in and yet ultimately openly forsook (Catholicism, compromising for money, etc.). They are dead set on him being in hell. They just can’t seem to get past his vulnerableness to temptation and sin, so easily forgetting all the temptation and sin God has saved them from AFTER He saved them.
SOMEONE might say “they are a MASON”! Even when there is no real proof and fruit that says otherwise. Well I was worse, a CATHOLIC! Which is a worse system. I was farther from God but not unreachable by Him. Thank You Jesus for finding and saving this wretch!
Is there more proof that Charlie Kirk was a mason or a Christian?
There are only 2 types of people on earth—saved and unsaved! Lost or found. Washed in the blood or not!
God is able.
None of us are the Savior (Luke 19:10).
God is love. God is holy. God is merciful. God is just.
One of the final things Charlie Kirk stated before he was assassinated. He could have said ANYTHING and here’s what he chose to say. Matthew 12:34 anyone? Jesus says we know people “by their fruit” and not by what some others are saying (Matthew 7:16, 20). Sticking with the facts.
Solomon had 1,000 women right?
What did he say of women?
“Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands.” Proverbs 14:1
“Which yet my soul seeketh, but I find not: one man among a thousand have I found; but a woman among all those have I not found.” Ecclesiastes 7:28
Have we seen anything of overt wickedness with Charlie Kirk? He was being courted, played, seduced by the enemy of souls and yet seemed to finish in faith as did Samson after a life of inconsistency. He did this while being surrounded by evil doers.
The fact that no one from TPUSA is calling for a real investigation is beyond suspicious in my opinion.
I don’t trust nor like Erika or any woman at the helm .
It appears possible that God blessed what Charlie did for HIM. The others were riding on God’s blessing upon Charlie. It’s all too typical to see that the pride of men leads them to believe they can do better, in this case, better than Charlie. We can count on this being a catastrophe as it always is. Perhaps they thought that getting rid of Charlie would be the best move (John 16:1-2). It seems now that these evil doers who surrounded Charlie will make a mess of TPusa. It will be controlled by Netanyahu and/or other evil interests. It seems plausible that they murdered him in order to take over his organization, just like Jezebel had her husband Ahab murder Naboth, murdered to take over his land. They offered him a sum of money to purchase his vineyard, but Naboth refused the money and so they murdered him to get his land. See 1 Kings 21. In this case apparently Netanyahu offered $150 million to Charlie Kirk for influence over TPUSA. Charlie refused the money and many believe it was his Israeli security detail that killed him.

Jesus will Judge Us by Our Works
By Glenn and Dezi Langohr
JESUS — JUDGED BY WORKS
“Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father… Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied…? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.” Matthew 7:21–23
Our works clearly reveal what is in our hearts! Fruit.
“For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.” Matthew 16:27
“…all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, and shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.” John 5:28–29
“He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: *the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.” John 12:48
PAUL — CONTINUE IN GOOD WORKS
“Who will render to every man according to his deeds: To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life.” Romans 2:6–7
“For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.” Romans 2:13

“…they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works.” Titus 3:8
“For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.” 2 Corinthians 5:10
“…for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. And let us not be weary in well doing…” Galatians 6:7–9
JAMES — FAITH WITHOUT WORKS IS DEAD
“Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.” James 2:17
“Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.” James 2:24
“For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.” James 2:26
PETER — BE HOLY, DO GOOD WORKS
“And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man’s work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear.” 1 Peter 1:17
“Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.” 1 Peter 2:12
“Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall.” 2 Peter 1:10
SUMMARY
Jesus said He will judge every man by their works (Matthew 16:27, John 5:29).
Paul taught that eternal life is for those who continue in well doing (Romans 2:7, Titus 3:8).
