The Beginning and Shocking End of Billy Graham [video]
Billy Graham Exposed as a masonic lodge, vatican agent, a false prophet
The idolaters who walk in the flesh will be enraged at the thought that Billy Graham was a false prophet. They love and live in the flesh. They love this present world and the love of the Father is not in them (1 John 2:15; James 4:4). Instead of upholding the Bible as final divine authority, which features Jesus and the apostles and prophets, counterfeit idolaters of mere sinful men want to be like Billy Graham. Sad.
It’s past due time to get rid of the proxies and with open arms, heart, and mind to worship the one true God, Jesus Christ.
“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. 21 Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.” 1 John 5:20-21
With no exception, every idolater is going to hell (Exodus 20:3-5; Galatians 5:19-21; Revelation 21:8, etc.).
WHO died for your sins? Did Billy Graham die on the cross for your sins or did Jesus Christ?
“One of the most troubling problems within the church today is the unwavering loyalty to a ‘christian’ personality rather than to Christ and His Word. The unwillingness to test every man’s teaching with God’s Word, coupled with a stubborn lack of discernment, produces fertile ground for deception to flourish.” Evangeline DiChristi
Billy Graham was loved by virtually everybody.
Jesus told us that “the world would love his own…”
If a man is loved by the world and every false prophet on the planet, what does that reveal about that man? Read these words of Jesus closely:
“If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.” John 15:19
Compare what Jesus said in contrast with the celebrity preachers of our day….. hmmmmmm Jesus said:
“I receive not honour from men. … How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only?” John 5:41, 44
The disciples at the town of Berea weren’t impressed with the LORD Jesus’ apostle Paul, the most profound disciple in New Testament history, who was given his revelation straight from Jesus and penned half of the books in the New Testament canon of the Holy Bible. In light of this, why O why would any true disciple of Jesus be impressed with Billy Graham or any other modern “celebrity” minister?
“And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews. 11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.” Acts 17:10-11
The Berean’s tested what Paul taught with the written Word. Why would a genuine Christian balk at the teachings of Billy Graham being tested against the Word of God?
The man of God, the man who truly fears the LORD will determine to know nothing but Christ, and Christ crucified.
“For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.” 1 Corinthians 2:2
If you wish to start a firestorm, dare to put to the test the pet heretical doctrines and “idol shepherds” of those not grounded in Christ, in His Word, as they should be (Zechariah 11:17). May God use this to shake to the core all who name Jesus as their LORD.
“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
Yet today we have multitudes of people who insist upon propping up the image of a false prophet who was and is presently heralded as “the greatest evangelist.” Let’s put that claim to the test, weighing it against Holy Scripture (Acts 17:10-11).
“People don’t like their idols messed with. I shared this on my social page and am getting persecuted for it. Many aspire to be like him, Billy Graham, instead of being like Jesus! One lady told me the video was fake.” Karen Cochran
“Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of? Isaiah 2:22
Saints, mere men will change but God and His Word are immutably divinly perfect and unchanging.
This is why Jesus instructs us to uphold Him and His Word as final divine authority – because men can and will change and apostatize, they will “depart from the faith” (1 Timothy 4:1-2). It didn’t say they’d depart from spreading their lies from the pulpit or internet or books. Selah. Beware.
“Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.” Mark 13:31
To those who bid “God speed” to false teachers, wolves, running like a gullible dupe to the defense of that which is indefensible, I want to level a severe warning at you: The Word of God is clear – If you dare attempt to “conceal,” if you cover for and/or support a false prophet, you will go to Hell with that fraud because you are standing against the Almighty as you side with evil and evil doers (Deuteronomy 13:1-10; 2 Peter 2:1-3). Repent now.
“Neither shalt thou conceal (cover for) him (false leaders).” Deuteronomy 13:8
Read Deuteronomy 13:1-10 closely.
Do you realize that Deuteronomy 13:1-10 is a severe warning to God’s people about prophets, ministers who give a prophecy and that prophecy actually comes to pass, is accurate? YET then ….. that same minister who ministered correctly (principally) teaches falsehood, teaches falsely concerning the LORD and His kingdom. The divine warning is that you are strictly never to side with him, to pity him, or to seek to preserve his reputation. He is but a mere man and God’s people must never dare “conceal” the fact that he has chosen to turn into a wolf and spread lies that bear false witness against the LORD, that violate, contradict His Word.
“Thou shalt not consent unto him, nor hearken unto him; neither shall thine eye pity him, neither shalt thou spare, neither shalt thou conceal (cover for) him:” Deuteronomy 13:8
Okay another example to help us understand the simple logic in this divine command and warning, would be that there are crimes on the books in every state which forbid us to give refuge to a criminal, a person who has committed a crime, has a warrant out for their arrest and is now a fugitive. Here is one such law:
“Section 1071 makes it an offense to harbor or conceal any person for whose arrest a warrant or process has been issued, so as to prevent the fugitive’s discovery and arrest, after having notice or knowledge that a warrant or process has been issued for the fugitive’s apprehension.”
Okay, let’s drill down a bit in order to make sure we are beginning to understand the LORD: So think about this: Let’s say you have a friend who for years shows great love to your friends and family. Then that same friend begins to slander and do wrong to your friends and family. What do you do? You sever yourself from that “friend” who has now made himself an enemy. Why? -Because your allegiance is to your family and friends, right? Right. With this in mind, can we not see that we must cling to the LORD first and foremost and give no one else that “first love” position but the LORD Himself (Revelation 2:4-5)?
“If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: 11 For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.” 2 John 10-11
Wolf defenders beware: Your problem is that you care more for the image, the reputation of a false prophet, a vile enemy of Christ, than you do for the millions he has deceived. Repent and change your perspective to the Word of God. God’s glory is what matters not sinful man’s reputation (1 Corinthians 1:29-2:5; 2 Corinthians 3:5; 4:5, etc.).
“(For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: 19 Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)” Philippians 3:18-19
The following response was given to a woman who leveled to several believers the accusation that we were “heresy hunters.”
YOU are actually the one destroying the body of Christ by aiding and abetting wolves. Repent now. This is a ridiculous response. It’s sounds like you are all about YOU and not the LORD, the Word. Just because YOU don’t know the WORD and supposedly don’t have the evidence doesn’t speak for anyone else.
You used the lame debunked “heresy hunter” cop-out and cover up of which you are apparently guilty. That’s a phrase spawned by frauds like Benny Hinn, and Paul the homo TBN. It was an attempted cover up of their crimes and greed-driven heresies.
It is the spirit of antichrist in you who is driving you to defend these antichrists (1 John 4:1-4).
You said that you “learned that long ago” and yes you learned and heard this from the greed-driven Word of faith TBN wolves. You heard and learned that but you didn’t learn the Word of God – because the LORD is not important enough to you to get into His Word for yourself as Scripture mandates (2 Tim 2:15). And God is going to judge you for covering for His enemies, sinner. Watch out saints for those who “conceal” the wolves who are devouring Christ’s sheep for whom He died. According to Scripture, you are the enemy of the LORD as you have sided with those who are “enemies of the cross of Christ” (Phil 3:18-19). Repent now – before it’s too late. You are marked – Rom 16:17-18
MESSAGE RECEIVED:
“I was absolutely heart broken to learn of this years ago (about Billy Graham). I could not believe it. So heart breaking to learn of his free Mason status too.“ Tracy
REPLY:
Yes dear sister….AND you were teachable, and you put JESUS first above all…. and He brought you through it as He is slaying the idols of the hearts of His true people. Ezekiel 14:1-3
SAINTS, COULD THIS BE ANY CLEARER?
1 Corinthians 1:29
That NO FLESH should glory in his presence.
1 Corinthians 1:31
That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in THE LORD.
1 Corinthians 3:21
Therefore LET NO MAN GLORY IN MEN. For all things are yours;
Yet as has been pointed out by a sister in Christ, the modern church has sold its prey on this idea of …. “I want to be like Billy Graham.” Disgusting. Repentance needed. Billy Graham was a mere man, a sinner, as masonic lodge Luciferian, and after preaching a half-truth false gospel apostatized/departed to collude in an unholy alliance with the idols of the pagan Roman cult, mystery Babylon religion, which God will destroy in just “one hour” (Revelation 17-18).
Some are saying “How dare you say Billy Graham misrepresented God!” Could it be that they say this because they aren’t in the Word of God and sincerely seeking the LORD for themselves and that’s why they wanted to just get their image of “God” from a mere man – instead of straight from the LORD Himself? The LORD commands:
“Look unto ME, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else.” Isaiah 45:22
Question: WHO died and rose again from the dead to save you to Himself and His Father in Heaven? Jesus. So, WHO deserves your pure, whole worship? Jesus. Is today your day to get before God in sincere repentance for considering mere men to be above that which is written of them – that they have “ALLLLL sinned” and come short of the glory of God (Romans 3:10, 23, etc.)?
“And these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and to Apollos for your sakes; that ye might learn in us NOT TO THINK OF MEN ABOVE THAT WHICH IS WRITTEN, that no one of you be puffed up for one against another.” 1 Corinthians 4:6
AND what is it that “is written” about mere men?
“For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not.” Ecclesiastes 7:20
“The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?” Jeremiah 17:9
“As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:” Romans 3:10
The Bible evokes in God’s true remnant the desire …. the cry, “I want to follow and be like Jesus – conformed to His holy image! He must increase but I must decrease” (John 3:30; Romans 8:29)
In case the point has not been made clear enough, notice how some of the modern wolves in sheep’s clothing have changed things as shown below….
1 Corinthians 1:31
That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in BILLY GRAHAM.
“They don’t want their idols exposed. They defend BG but won’t stand when the name of Jesus is mocked or blasphemed. That’s why the Bereans were more noble because they didn’t even believe Paul. They checked the word for themselves. BG was a mere man! Just like any of us! Romans 3:4” Karen Cochran
Just “one mediator”
“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 2:5-6
There’s more than “a little” false doctrine Graham spewed out and the Bible says “A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump” (Galatians 5:9).
“But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.” Galatians 6:14
As you will see on the videos below, Billy Graham, out of his own mouth, openly denied that Jesus is the only way to God.
“The Billy Graham Association (Whatever they are called) said this was not a slip up because Billy Graham wrote the same thing in his ‘Decision’ magazine in the 1960’s. I would hope that ALL of this is a mistake and that he actually believes Jesus is the ONLY way, but he said something similar on Larry King.” Odom
Witness for yourself how the message Billy Graham preached in the beginning is different from the one he died preaching. Billy Graham was clearly an apostate who ended his life as a pawn of the Vatican and teaching blasphemous doctrine that denied that Jesus is the only way to God and to Heaven.
“Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. 16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? … 20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.” Matthew 7:15-16, 20
There are NO heroes in the kingdom of Christ except Jesus Himself. Many among us are “not holding the Head,” Jesus Christ – which means they have idols.
“Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, 19 And NOT HOLDING THE HEAD, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God.” Colossians 2:18-19
Scripture cites Israel for making idols out of their own shepherds:
“Woe to the idol shepherd that leaveth the flock! the sword shall be upon his arm, and upon his right eye: his arm shall be clean dried up, and his right eye shall be utterly darkened.” Zechariah 11:17
Of this passage, Adam Clarke notes:
“Woe to the idol shepherd – רעי האליל roi haelil, ‘the foolish,’ or ‘good for nothing shepherd.’ The shepherd in name and office, but not performing the work of one. See Joh_10:11.”
Anyone who yokes with, meets with, and agrees with an antichrist, proves himself to be one of the “many antichrists” (1 John 2:18).
“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
Jesus made it clear that He is not “a way” but rather “the way.”
“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” John 14:6
“Billy Graham was the biggest heretic of our time who many idolize and say ‘if only I could be like him.’ Aren’t we supposed to be like Jesus?” Karen Cochran
Billy Graham says out of his own mouth, in the videos below, that basically everyone is going to Heaven. Every pagan Catholic, Mormon, etc., who is not born again, is a member of Christ’s body, according to Billy Graham. Who is lying? – Jesus or Billy Graham? False teacher. Matthew 7:13-14; 1 Timothy 2:5
SOMEONE IS LYING – EITHER JESUS CHRIST OR BILLY GRAHAM
Compare what abortion approving, Catholic colluder, popish pawn Billy Graham says about Hell (see his heresy on Hell below). Now let’s see what Jesus says about Hell below. Someone is lying – is it Jesus or 33rd degree mason Billy Graham?
“…I think people have a hard time believing God is going to allow people to burn in literal fire forever. I think the fire that is mentioned in the Bible is a burning thirst for God that can never be quenched.” Billy Graham
“And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea. And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire: Where their worm dieth not (denotes complete consciousness), and the fire is not quenched. For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt. Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his saltness, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace one with another.” Mark 9:42-50
Graham Guardian Rebuked
To a man who was highly upset that I dared share this information about Billy Graham on social media, the response he was given is as follows:
“First off, are you truly born again and presently walking in the truth, in God’s Word? The deception you are walking in is concerning.
You speak so very extensively and glowingly about Billy Graham, a mere man. When’s the last time you spent that kind of time and energy exclaiming the one LORD Jesus Christ, the nail scarred risen Savior? When’s the last time you personally led someone to Jesus?
It saddens me for you that you defend, you bid Godspeed to a man who denied Christ was the only way to God, to Heaven and who colluded with the Roman pope and cult to deceive believers to enter into the one world antichrist church/religion – Revelation 17-18.
I made those statements standing on both feet, with every ounce of my weight…. after studying this topic closely for decades. I warn you not to operate in foolishness/folly by speaking on a matter you have not thoroughly investigated – per Proverbs 18:13. There is not ample evidence posted in this thread for you to review.”
So many idolaters arguing to keep this mere man, sinner, as their idol when they’ve never looked into the facts and compared what Graham stated next to the Word of God (Proverbs 18:13).
“Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” Acts 4:12
Graham was clearly a false prophet – perhaps the most prolific in NT history. Repent of the idolatry of making this mere sinful man your protestant pope. Read Isaiah 2:22; Jer. 17:5. On Larry King live Graham said all religions are part of the body of Christ. He also said that the pope is the best Christian on earth. He said on record publicly that the way to God is broad/wide. Jesus says otherwise.
“Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.” Matthew 7:13-14

Favorite Eternal Security “Proof” Text? [podcast]
Excerpt from the book Lie of the Ages
Does John 10:27-29 Prove “Eternal Security”?
WHO are Jesus’ Sheep? Defined by, in God’s Word.
John 10:27-29
“My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand.” ~ John 10:27-29
Verse 27 is the condition necessary to appropriate the promises of verses 28-29.
Those who believe that a man can never lose his salvation, use this John 10:28-29 text but ignore the prerequisite, the divinely given condition – v27. Watch this:
Firstly, in this passage Jesus identifies those sheep whom He makes the security promise to. He says, “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.” In this we see one part divine and two parts the responsibility of the individual:
- “I know them”—the divine part toward those who are truly in Christ, presently abiding (v. 27)
- Those who are His sheep “hear” His “voice” and “follow” Him—the individual’s responsibility (v. 27)
The promise to be kept is a conditional promise which requires that we choose to continue to hear His voice and follow Him (John 10:27-29). Many today wrongly detach our LORD’s words in verse 27 from verses 28-29. In doing so, they perpetrate their “eternal security” mythology.
The problem for the eternal securists is that v27 has been intentionally been ignored…. It’s the actual condition Jesus gives for receiving the assurance promises He then gives in v28-29.
Those who seek to spread the “once saved always saved” heresy use John 10:28-29 to their advantage and conveniently ignore the preceding words of Christ in verse 27. Verses 28-29 are promises of security to those who have been genuinely born again and are currently abiding in Christ – hearing His voice and following Him (John 15:1-6). Many ignore the previous qualifying words (v. 27) of Jesus where Christ tells us that only those who are hearing His voice and following Him are promised that they are secure and will never perish. There is a condition to being secure in Christ—knowing Him—which requires continuing to abide in Him, hear His voice and follow Him (see also John 15).
“Jesus will neither leave us nor forsake us, but we can leave and forsake Him by choosing our sins OVER His love, grace and mercy!” Dino Filardo
Eternal securists have been taught to selectively interpret Scripture while ignoring mountains of Bible truth, in order to come to a predetermined conclusion.
Many a false teacher has built his own ministry empire dishonestly peddling this passage. Take a closer look. Anchor the promise to be kept in verses 28-29 on verse 27 where Jesus identifies who His sheep are – those who hear and continue to hear His voice and continue to follow Him (present tense). The promise to be kept is a glorious and yet conditional promise which requires that the individual recipient of the salvation gift of God chooses to continue to hear His voice and follow Him (John 10:27-29). Many today wrongly detach our LORD’s words in verse 27 from verses 28-29 of John 10. In doing so, they perpetrate their “eternal security” or otherwise called “once saved always saved” mythology. Beware as this was the first lie Satan told mankind, which led to the fall (Genesis 2:17; 3:4).
Instead of synthesizing the whole of Scripture, false teachers isolate certain verses for their own self-serving agenda and purpose (2 Corinthians 2:17, etc.).
The sheep Jesus’ promises are going to be kept are those who endure to the end, abide (remain) with Him (John 15:1-6). The Great Shepherd defines His sheep as those who are presently hearing His voice and following Him (present tense). John 10:27-29
It’s not difficult to mislead people in the direction of the sinful nature of their hearts – because then they can evade truly repenting which is a major life change and necessity for salvation. This is why Paul foretold of this hour and how men would “heap to themselves (false) teachers having itching ears.” (2 Timothy 4:3) “Itching ears” here represents unrepentant hearts.
OSAS people make a vain attempt at redefining the words of Scripture to fit their own self-serving agenda of lukewarmness, cross-less rebellion. For example they hyper-focus on “eternal” in the term “eternal life” while intentionally refusing to synthesize the whole of what Scripture states. They hyper-focus on the word “gift” and teach that a gift could never be lost which the rest of Scripture does not agree with. They then take the word “sealed” and make it to be permanent which it cannot possibly be because the same Greek word for “sealed” is used of Jesus’ tomb which we all know was NOT permanently sealed (Matthew 27:66). In this they bear false witness against the LORD and act like some Scriptures are more divinely inspired than others. This practice reveals the evil and deceit of their own hearts. Not just some Scripture in the Bible but rather “ALL scripture is given by inspiration of God…” (2 Timothy 3:16-17) It must all be synthesized, put together, compared (1 Corinthians 2:13). Error will result in the hearts and lives of those who do not search, study, and revere “ALL scripture” in God’s Word.
Eternal security deceivers don’t want to talk about Bible verses that contradict and expose their proof texts. You see, they don’t want to get awaken by the truth to the scam they’ve bought into. The wolves who they gullibly believe instead of God’s Word, taught them to cry “context, context” all while THEY are the beguilers who are taking Scripture out of context. Just like the demonic democrats in America, they accuse their adversaries of the exact thing THEY themselves are guilty of (Romans 2:1-3).
YOU are defending OSAS and yet you gave no Bible verses? Self-deception. If “once saved always saved” were true, WHY O WHY didn’t God tell us? Such a term, phrase, or concept appear no where in Scripture and the verses you use to “prove” it are taken out of their context. OSAS is undeniably the very first lie Satan ever told and it led to the fall of mankind from a HOLY God (Genesis 2:17; 3:4). If OSAS isn’t a doctrine of devils, nothing is! (1 Timothy 4:1-2)
Is the unchanging, Almighty God no longer “Holy, holy, holy” now that He sent His only begotten Son? (Isaiah 6:3; Revelation 4:8) If He’s still holy, no unrepentant person with sin will enter His holy Heaven (Revelation 21:8, 27, etc.).
“Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:” Hebrews 12:14
HOW is it that so many treat the words of JESUS recorded in John 10 more divinely authoritative than the words of JESUS recorded in John 15? False teachers.
Most of the dupes who cite John 10:28-29 to “prove” they can never lose their salvation, 1. Don’t even know what the preceding verse says (v27), and 2. Have no clue what JESUS says in John 15:6.
“If a man abide (remain) not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.” John 15:6
In this John 10 passage used by the unconditional eternal security crew to peddle their wares, some neglect to look closely at verse 27 to see who Jesus was specifically speaking to when He promised “they shall never perish.” “They” refers to those who “hear my voice” and “follow me.” According to verse 27 the promise of eternal security is conditional. Assurance of salvation is only to those who are presently following Christ. In verse 27 we learn that protection from judgment to come is only to those who are currently 1) hearing His voice, 2) known by Him, and 3) following Him. This is consistent with the message seen in the whole of Holy Writ.
“For if AFTER they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are AGAIN entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. 21 For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, AFTER they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. 22 But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit AGAIN; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.” 2 Peter 2:20-22
WHO did Jesus say His true sheep are?
“My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me” (Jn. 10:27). According to these words of Christ, those who “know” Jesus and “follow” Him are given the promise that they will “never perish.” As long as the follower hears His voice and follows Him, they are assured “eternal life.” This is exactly what the Son of God taught just a few chapters later in John 15 where He says that if a branch that is in Him does not remain or abide in Him, that person will be cut off and cast into the fire (hell).
Those who abide or remain under the shadow of His holy and protective wing shall remain secure in Him (Ps. 91:1). The Good Shepherd here said: “Neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.” No man can pluck us out of His protection except ourselves by our own decisions. We who are abiding are protected from the snare of other men drawing us away as we remain walking with the Son of God. If you’re tucked, you won’t get plucked. If you’re not tucked under the wing of intimacy with Jesus, you will, can, and are likely to be plucked out of His holy hand by your own sinful unbelief. The LORD told us “Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown” (Rev. 3:11).
It’s also notable that those who emphasize John 10 to convince themselves and others that they are “eternally secure”, don’t even know much less acknowledge the words of the Savior in John 15:1-6.
Telling.
“If a man abide (remain) not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.” John 15:6
Jesus taught repeatedly that some would not continue to follow Him (“abide”) and hear His voice and would consequently “fall away.” There is record of some who once believed and then stopped believing (Lk. 8:13; 13:23-30; Jn. 6:66; Acts 8:14-23).
WHY do eternal securists get all upset when their fairy tale is exposed? Well, they are hiding behind the thin veneer of this heresy, feeling all secure, emboldened to live as they please, feeling assured in their lukewarmness and sin … denying Jesus instead of self, refusing to take up the cross that Jesus commanded all who would follow Him truly (Luke 9:23-24). Christ’s apostle Paul speaks of self-serving “enemies of the cross of Christ.” (Philippians 3:18-19) What’s behind this myth? The Psychology of Eternal Security [book]
Another Example of the Twisting of Scripture
The eternal securists seek to justify their OSAS heresy by misusing the following passage…. but in this Paul is speaking of those who go to Heaven, the judgment of saints, and not those who fell away and won’t be there because they will be in hell. They will not be present when this happens….
“Every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is. 14 If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. 15 If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.” 1 Corinthians 3:13-15
One More….
Common Objection to Conditional Eternal Security….
“What about Romans 8:38-39 where it says nothing can separate us from the love of God?”
REPLY:
Simple: Notice the word LOVE not life. God will love us all the way into hell if we choose not to repent. His soul will even “weep in secret places for your pride” which comes before destruction (Jeremiah 13:17). The LORD is “Holy, holy, holy,” He’s just, and He will not ever coexist with sin. See the fall of lucifer (Isaiah 14:12-15; Ezekiel 28:13-19; Luke 10:18). The wages of sin is still death and the LORD will damn every soul that dies in sin, with no exception (Psalms 5:4; Habakkuk 1:13; Isaiah 6:3; Romans 6:23; Revelation 4:8; 21:8; 22:11, etc.). Read Jesus’s parable of the prodigal son Lk 15. Did the father love and miss his son? Yes. Did the father (represents God) go chase him down? No. The son who departed had to choose to return. Much truth there. Speaking of Romans, read 11:20-22. Now read 2 Peter 2:20-22 and the book of Hebrews.
1 John 2:19 is often also utilized to “prove” eternal security. Not.
“They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.” 1 John 2:19
Interestingly, the word “never” does not appear in this verse above which is so often used to “prove” OSAS. Let’s read it again with an objective mind. And, also remember what Jesus says about the primary importance of His teaching of the seed and the soil, the sower and the Word:
“And he said unto them, Know ye not this parable? and how then will ye know all parables?” Mark 4:13
The honest student of the whole Counsel of God’s Word knows that numerous clear Bible truths reveal that a saved person can turn away from the LORD, so we know that the apostle John could not possibly be saying that a saved person could never depart from the LORD. In my opinion, this verse is the best argument the eternal security proponent has, yet it’s not enough. There must be two or three witnesses and not just one (2 Cor. 13:1). After a closer examination of this text, one will find that verse 19 does not teach or justify “once saved always saved.” When any one verse is taken to the exclusion of the whole Word of God, one will certainly misunderstand the doctrine of the LORD which can only be apprehended by “study.” (2 Tim. 2:15) This verse is like any other verse of Scripture – it must be taken in light of the entire Counsel of God. The context to be considered is 1 John 2:18-29).
In examining the context in which 1 John 2:19 is set, we see that false teachers whom John calls “many antichrists,” had come and were telling these believers that Jesus was not the Christ (v22).
Let’s look at verses 18 and 19 together:
“Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time. They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.” 1 John 2:18-19
Note here that it is specifically of these “antichrists” that John speaks and says that “if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.”
John was speaking of those who were once saved but then departed from the faith (1 Tim 4:1), they believed and then fell away (Luke 8:12-13) …. then departed from the believers in that fellowship.
Teddy Caldwell writes:
“OSAS insists that those are professing believers, but 1 John 2:18 says such people are antichrists. 1 John 2:22 says an antichrist is one who denies that Jesus is the Christ. Anyone who does that isn’t a believer and isn’t even trying to look like one.”
Concerning 1 John 2:19, Donald Stamps, in the Life in the Spirit Study Bible, writes:
“‘THEY WENT OUT FROM US.’ When the antichrists departed from their fellowship with true believers, they were not in a saving relationship with Christ. This allows for two possibilities: (1) They were never true believers to begin with, or (2) they had once been in a saving relationship with Christ but afterward abandoned their faith in Christ.”
Right here in verse 24 of this passage we see the doctrine of personal responsibility to “remain” in faithful obedience to the LORD or lose one’s place with God (1 Cor. 15:2; Gal. 6:9; Col. 1:23). This is a teaching found throughout Holy Writ – the divine requirement to stay saved or lose all in eternity, “suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.” (Jude 7)
“Let that therefore abide (remain) in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. IF (denotes condition) that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father. And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life.” 1 John 2:24-25
Verse 24 alone tells us that we cannot think that verse 19 means that someone who is at some point in right standing with God can never depart from Him and lose out. Also, verse 25 tells us that “eternal life” (not just rewards) is at stake and the promise contingent upon the believer abiding or remaining in that “which ye have heard from the beginning” which is the Gospel. “Eternal life” is assured as long as one is remaining rooted in Jesus Christ. This is the overwhelmingly consistent message of God’s Word.
In verse 26 John says “These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you.” Verse 19 is written about the deceivers who sought to “seduce” these disciples John was addressing and not of true believers.
With all of Scripture in consideration, we can conclude that 1 John 2:19 is a specific example and not a rule of doctrine.
If you truly wish to search out this matter, let me encourage you to closely examine, break down and study this entire text (1 Jn. 2:18-29). In order to ascertain truth, one must compare the verse in question with all other related Scriptures, beginning with the context in which the verse is set (Isa. 28:9-10; 1 Cor. 2:13).

Attend to My Words [podcast]
IF THE WORD isn’t flowing into you daily, you are falling away. Flood and fuel your heart and mind and body with the pure, the holy light of God’s Word daily and you will never famish! All darkness will be vanquished (Psalms 119:130). All who have been saved and yet aren’t in God’s Word and prayer daily – have rejected Christ, with no exception. Re-turn to the LORD prodigal. There’s no good outside of Christ the KING.
“The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.” Psalms 119:130
ALL who are not in God’s written Word daily are not hearing from God, do not have God’s wisdom and direction, and are walking in darkness – 100%.
The feeding of Christ’s flock would integrally involve exhorting them to diligently study and walk in God’s Word themselves, daily (John 21:15-17). Isn’t this exactly what the apostle Paul told Timothy to do? Yes. He told his understudy to “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” (2 Timothy 2:15)
One of the ways we know who the false ministers are, is that they want people dependent on THEM, not God. So, they don’t constantly exhort the people to get into God’s Word, the Holy Scriptures, for themselves. Run.
“This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.” Joshua 1:8
“He taught me also, and said unto me, Let thine heart retain my words: keep my commandments, and live. … My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. 21 Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. 22 For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh. 23 Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life. Proverbs 4:4, 20-23
“Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O LORD God of hosts.” Jeremiah 15:16
“Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.” Job 23:12
“Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.” Colossians 3:16
“Over the last 5-10 years I can see where He has done this for me already, but the problem is …. it’s not enough! I want even more! One hour of study and prayer in the morning is not enough!” Christine

“Reformed Theology“, is just a fancy way of saying ‘We know better than Paul, the old testament prophets, even David! And the very apostles who walked with Jesus must be unlearned men or liars.’ Nay, I will not say such a thing of my LORD and Saviour, Christ Jesus. Let God be true, and >every< man a liar.” Jonathan Crane
It’s “ungodly men” who mislead the gullible with the eternal security heresy, and the heretical doctrines and system of calvinism. Jude warned us of just that, as did the prophets (Jude 3-4; Jeremiah 23:17, etc.). Then Jude reminds us of God’s judgment upon His own covenant people who were saved out of Egypt (the world) and then “afterward destroyed.” Then Jude reminds us that God judged the angels, a third of them, who rebelled against Him and were terminated from His domain, Heaven (Isaiah 14:12-15; Luke 10:18; Revelation 12:7-12, etc.).
“For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ. 5 I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not. 6 And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.” Jude 4-6
The Book of Jude
Greeting
1 Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ, and called:
2 Mercy unto you, and peace, and love, be multiplied.
Judgment on False Teachers
3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.
4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.
5 I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not.
6 And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.
7 Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.
8 Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.
9 Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.
10 But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.
11 Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core.
12 These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;
13 Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.
14 And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints,
15 To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.
16 These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men’s persons in admiration because of advantage.
A Call to Persevere
17 But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;
18 How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts.
19 These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit.
20 But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,
21 Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
22 And of some have compassion, making a difference:
23 And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.
Doxology
24 Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,
25 To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.
