Hey BEAT family! Sorry for missing the upload on Friday. You all know I don't like to miss an upload day but I just needed a break. I hope you enjoy this video and that it clears up any confusion surrounding this often misunderstood verse. Enjoy!

Hey Pastor Parr. I really hate to bother you about this, but I have a concern about this.
I open told someone that Jesus said “All sins and blasphemy will be forgiven” without adding in except Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit.
Have a committed the sin of taking out of God’s word? And will He forgive me for doing so if I did?
Sorry to bother you.
Romans 9:15-16 💝
"For He says to Moses, “I will have mercy on whomever I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whomever I will have compassion.” So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who shows mercy"
Chapter 3 verse 5 of Revelation, is it Jesus speaking or John, the author?! Revelation is very confusing sometimes.
THANKYOU BRO ALLEN
The Holly Bible is a blessing to all of us. Full of revelations, promises, warnings, and a guide for us to follow.
God bless you and your family
The bible is bullshit used by conmen and fools to justify hate, ignorance and bigotry.
I was scared that my name in the book of life got erased.
After this watching this video to the very end made me extremely happy.
Thank you for this video.
May the Lord bless us all 🙏
For about once saved always saved, is better for us but isn't it too good to be truth? It makes some sense from scriptures but what if it requires strong works? I'm just afraid because works make sense and also faith alone makes sense. Also when you find mistranslations it makes you scared ... I don't know ...
We believers can never be snatched from the Son’s hand which is in the Father’s hand. We’re going home soon family 😊
Amen.
Must be a miserable life to always keep waiting for a corpse to return that never will.
@@skeptiker1907 buddy, it is proven, Jesus lives. There is no body. Can’t say that about any other. Jesus loves you man, He doesn’t want anyone to perish, He wants none to go to hell. Unbelief is the only sin Jesus didn’t die for. Believe today and all of your sins will be washed clean. I’ll pray for you, I hope the Lord does something in your life that you cannot explain but through Jesus. Judgement is coming to those of unbelief and you will see horrific things never seen before on earth. You will either accept Jesus or you will accept the Antichrist and spend eternity in hell.
@@skeptiker1907 ,don’t forget, the only way for a Gentile to be saved in the tribulation is by Faith in Christ, causing one to refuse the mark of the beast,and being beheaded for it, this is the last chance according to scripture.These are the tribulation saints if you make it that far, if you don’t it’s screaming in agony in the lake of fire forever according to scripture.
@@stephen1774 just a little correction if I can. You referred to only gentile believers but Jesus said all who call upon his name shall be saved. Jews are being saved too just not in masses yet. God bless you brother.
I wish once saved always. I will be the happiest person on earth. Strive to enter at the straight gate… narrow is the way… i will do my best to obey my Lord Jesus words.
Amen. OSAS is a lie, and that this guy took Rev.3:5 out of context to support such a lie is disappointing to say the least. How many people have heard, "Depart from Me you who practice lawlessness", because of preaching like this?
“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’”
Matthew 7:21-23 NKJV
What are these people relying on? What they did for The Lord Jesus, not on Him alone. Jesus said that not everyone who says to Him, “Lord, Lord” will enter then Kingdom, but he who does the will of The Father who is in heaven.”
So what is the will of The Father?
Jesus said, “And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last day.”
John 6:40 NKJV
@@enrikefranco8725 amen ❤️🙏
@@chrisbrown8498 What if the narrow way is faith alone? Because when you do works you feel that you are fine and worthy of the kingdom, but when you put all your trust on the perfect work of Jesus on the cross, it's difficult for you because you think it's too good to be truth. Many are trying to be perfect to enter in, but that's enough? I don't know, maybe the narrow way requires painful decisions and works
I love how the Bible says in different places that NOTHING can remove our salvation. Not even our own self can. Praise God for His eternal glory.
Amen
Jesus never once throughout the Bible preached that you are:
1. Saved by Grace alone
2. Save by Faith alone
3. Save by Grace through Faith alone
4. Saved by your Deeds alone
5. Once Saved, Always Saved
6. Salvation is Guaranteed
Salvation is a life long process which is never guaranteed, nor by grace, by faith or by deeds alone. Jesus’ own words confirm this and anyone who preaches scripture that contradicts Jesus’ own words is misinterpreting it or intentionally straying you away from the true faith.
Is it hard to enter God’s Kingdom? Yes!
“This amazed them. But Jesus said again, “Dear children, it is very hard to enter the Kingdom of God.” Mark 10:24
Conditions by which salvation can be achieved directly from Jesus.
1. “Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me.” John 14:6
2. “Jesus replied, “I assure you, no one can enter the Kingdom of God without being born of water and the Spirit. Humans can reproduce only human life, but the Holy Spirit gives birth to spiritual life. So don’t be surprised when I say, ‘You must be born again.” John 3:5-7
3. “Jesus called a little child to him and put the child among them. Then he said, “I tell you the truth, unless you turn from your sins and become like little children, you will never get into the Kingdom of Heaven.” Matthew 18:2-3
4. “No, and I tell you again that unless you repent, you will perish, too.” Luke 13:
5. “Everyone who acknowledges me publicly here on earth, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven. But everyone who denies me here on earth, I will also deny before my Father in heaven.”Matthew 10:32-33
6. “So I tell you, every sin and blasphemy can be forgiven-except blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, which will never be forgiven.” Matthew 12:31
7. “But I warn you-unless your righteousness is better than the righteousness of the teachers of religious law and the Pharisees, you will never enter the Kingdom of Heaven!” Matthew 5:20
8. “But Jesus told him, “Anyone who puts a hand to the plow and then looks back is not fit for the Kingdom of God.” Luke 9:62
9. “Then Jesus said to his disciples, “I tell you the truth, it is very hard for a rich person to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. I’ll say it again-it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the Kingdom of God!” Matthew 19:23-24
10. “So every tree that does not produce good fruit is chopped down and thrown into the fire. Yes, just as you can identify a tree by its fruit, so you can identify people by their actions.” Matthew 7:19-20
11. “But I say, if you are even angry with someone, you are subject to judgment! If you call someone an idiot, you are in danger of being brought before the court. And if you curse someone, you are in danger of the fires of hell.”Matthew 5:22
12. “If you forgive those who sin against you, your heavenly Father will forgive you. But if you refuse to forgive others, your Father will not forgive your sins.” Matthew 6:14-15
13. “If you love your father or mother more than you love me, you are not worthy of being mine; or if you love your son or daughter more than me, you are not worthy of being mine. If you refuse to take up your cross and follow me, you are not worthy of being mine. If you cling to your life, you will lose it; but if you give up your life for me, you will find it.” Matthew 10:37-39
14. “And I tell you this, you must give an account on judgment day for every idle word you speak. The words you say will either acquit you or condemn you.” Matthew 12:36-37
15. “But if you cause one of these little ones who trusts in me to fall into sin, it would be better for you to have a large millstone tied around your neck and be drowned in the depths of the sea.” Matthew 18:6
16. “So Jesus said again, “I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you cannot have eternal life within you. But anyone who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise that person at the last day.” John 6:53-54
Will many fail to enter God’s Kingdom? Yes! Even those who claimed to be Christians & followers of Jesus will fail because they refused to obey his laws & conditions by which salvation would be obtained!
“Someone asked him, “Lord, will only a few be saved?” He replied, “Work hard to enter the narrow door to God’s Kingdom, for many will try to enter but will fail.” Luke 13:23-24
“You can enter God’s Kingdom only through the narrow gate. The highway to hell is broad, and its gate is wide for the many who choose that way. But the gateway to life is very narrow and the road is difficult, and only a few ever find it.” Matthew 7:13-14
“Not everyone who calls out to me, ‘Lord! Lord!’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Only those who actually do the will of my Father in heaven will enter. On judgment day many will say to me, ‘Lord! Lord! We prophesied in your name and cast out demons in your name and performed many miracles in your name.’ But I will reply, ‘I never knew you. Get away from me, you who break God’s laws.” Matthew 7:21-23
“Just as the weeds are sorted out and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of the world. The Son of Man will send his angels, and they will remove from his Kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil. And the angels will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Then the righteous will shine like the sun in their Father’s Kingdom. Anyone with ears to hear should listen and understand!” Matthew 13:40-43
How do we determine if scripture is being misinterpreted? By simply going back to what Jesus said and letting his words show us the truth. Anyone who continues to preach scripture that contradicts his words should be avoided and exposed as wolfs.
“Jesus said to the people who believed in him, “You are truly my disciples if you remain faithful to my teachings. And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” John 8:31-32
Don’t forget, the Devil was an angel and even quoted scripture when he tempted Jesus but it was Jesus’ full understanding of scripture that led him to quote scripture back to the devil in order to reveal God’s truth. This is why scripture (God’s Words) is also important on our journey.
“But Jesus told him, “No! The Scriptures say, ‘People do not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.” Matthew 4:4
“Get out of here, Satan,” Jesus told him. “For the Scriptures say, ‘You must worship the Lord your God and serve only him.” Matthew 4:10
“Beware of false prophets who come disguised as harmless sheep but are really vicious wolves.” Matthew 7:15
Did people misinterpret scripture in the past? Yes! Even Jesus had to correct them.
“Jesus replied, “Your mistake is that you don’t know the Scriptures, and you don’t know the power of God.” Matthew 22:29
“Then he added, “Now go and learn the meaning of this Scripture: ‘I want you to show mercy, not offer sacrifices.’ For I have come to call not those who think they are righteous, but those who know they are sinners.” Matthew 9:13
Our sin is that we slowly begin to believe the words of others and even the apostles own words over Jesus as they’re distorted to justify a different path to salvation. We stubbornly cling to their words instead of his.
“The world’s sin is that it refuses to believe in me.” John 16:9
@@ogloc6308 You said the apostles words are "distorted?"😳 May the Lord help you! Read 2 Peter 1 vs 20-21.
Revelation 3:5
@@Antonio.R.O.C. Hebrew roots is heresy, and to reject the writings of paul inspired by the holy spirit, is to deny God's plan for salvation, ultimately producing an entirely different gospel, which according to scripture, is damnable
Our Heavenly Father will provide all we need is faith. I will never stop trusting in Jesus, even though I’m struggling putting groceries in my refrigerator, and paying bills. Like many others, I lost my job as a social worker because I declined the vaccine. I declined because of my pre existing health condition (Lupus) and Heart disease. I was denied my medical/religious exemption from Forsyth Hospital. I’m waitressing but not making nearly enough to make ends meet. My husband is in heaven with God. I’m all alone. No family nor friends. Both of my sons are autistic, and non verbal so they require a lot from me. Every month is a struggle, not end up on the streets. I’m so tired of struggling. BUT I HAVE FAITH GOD WILL PROVIDE. He has this far. Thank you Jesus. I BELIEVE. Faith over fear! This is my testimony
Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Rom15:13
It is indeed weird to post the same thing super many times... although I feel like the guy doesn't have ill reasons for doing so.
@@janicebooy1007 Eh. To me it sounds like a basic spam comment that goes around. But also what do I know? (This is an interrogative statement)
God bless you mam. Are you from Forsyth Georgia? My prayers will go out to you. If you need a friend. I will listen.

@@NewCreationInChrist896 is Lord! Amén
The word of God says nothing can separate us from the love of God. That there is no external force whether man or spirit can remove us from God's embrace. True fact, "but", we can remove ourselves from God. Sin separates us from God which is spiritual death. So many warnings in God's word about sin and it's consequences. If you die with unrepented sin, then you are infact separated from God which is the second death. Therefore your name was blotted out from the book of life. So many warnings to the children of God about losing their soul.
Thanks for simplifying

Thank you for your informative videos and research. I realize that these topics are not easy and require a lot of study. Ironically, I just watched a lengthy video on Erasmus yesterday. It’s funny that someone that has had such a major impact on us isn’t very famous. This is partially due to him being a contemporary of Martin Luther.
Amen Amen 🙏 Brother Pharr is a good teacher according to Scripture
I'm a Christian and have asked Jesus too take over my life and have given my life too him.. I live Each day for him.. what I struggle on is my faith ? Why am I having doubts I'm saved like I'm not doing enough? Why don't I feel close to him? I know it's his grace that saves us but why does my human brain keep confusing me? Why am I struggling so much over it.. it feels like when I had less of a relationship with god I didn't worry as much now I study and talk to him more I feel farther away or I'm not doing something right. My fear of hell is haunting me more ? What do I do ?
Being “saved” is relatively easy… you’ve done that part. Congrats. The relationship part and “feeling close” is harder, because our emotional baggage, doubts, past trauma, self-esteem (or lack thereof) gets in the way. For this we do things like trusting (having faith) that what Jesus promised us is real (ie that we are in fact saved by our belief in Him regardless of how we “feel” in our relationship, much like we know we’re still married to our spouse after getting married because we haven’t gotten a divorce but there are still times we’re unsure about how much we like or love each other), we study the Bible, we spend time in prayer, and we join a church to fellowship and serve with others. Some of us may need to go to counseling/therapy to work on our baggage so that we can have better relationships with ourselves, other people, and authority figures (including God and Jesus, especially if we have childhood abuse issues or addiction issues). Many of us find that as we get deeper into doing good works for others (ie ministry, outreach, welfare/social support projects in the community to help make this world a better place for the most at risk people, etc) we take the focus off our fears and flaws and begin to feel God’s love work through us, which helps us become better listeners and believers of the Holy Spirit working inside us… it also gets us out of the loop of drowning in our own stuff… this is why “loving your neighbor like yourself” is so crucial that Jesus highlights and underscores it by making it part of his answer for what is the most important commandment.
@@selahr. wow sooooo true and accurate.. Thank you so much for your response ..
I hear you Randy, thank you for your questions and honesty, I find it refreshing and encouraging.
I myself am experiencing similar ‘doubts’.
I recently retired and now have time to really study the word. With all the differing translations and ‘interpretations’ I find myself asking what is God’s truth vs man’s truth via man’s interpretation.
I am grateful to be doing an in depth, slow, study of Hebrews. What helps me is to stay focused on what I’m reading, also to believe the promise that God will reveal His truth in His time via the Holy Spirit.
Study, pray, trust, trust, trust AND wait. 👆🏼🙏👆🏼
@Randy, according to Rightly Divided scripture, in the church age we are only saved by BELIEVING that Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins,was buried,and rose again on the third day,and that His Shed Blood is payment for all of your sins forever,( you personally).Believe/ Trust/Faith= all the same thing.

12. “If you forgive those who sin against you, your heavenly Father will forgive you. But if you refuse to forgive others, your Father will not forgive your sins.” Matthew 6:14-15
13. “If you love your father or mother more than you love me, you are not worthy of being mine; or if you love your son or daughter more than me, you are not worthy of being mine. If you refuse to take up your cross and follow me, you are not worthy of being mine. If you cling to your life, you will lose it; but if you give up your life for me, you will find it.” Matthew 10:37-39
14. “And I tell you this, you must give an account on judgment day for every idle word you speak. The words you say will either acquit you or condemn you.” Matthew 12:36-37
15. “But if you cause one of these little ones who trusts in me to fall into sin, it would be better for you to have a large millstone tied around your neck and be drowned in the depths of the sea.” Matthew 18:6
16. “So Jesus said again, “I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you cannot have eternal life within you. But anyone who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise that person at the last day.” John 6:53-54
Will many fail to enter God’s Kingdom? Yes! Even those who claimed to be Christians & followers of Jesus will fail because they refused to obey his laws & conditions by which salvation would be obtained!
“Someone asked him, “Lord, will only a few be saved?” He replied, “Work hard to enter the narrow door to God’s Kingdom, for many will try to enter but will fail.” Luke 13:23-24
“You can enter God’s Kingdom only through the narrow gate. The highway to hell is broad, and its gate is wide for the many who choose that way. But the gateway to life is very narrow and the road is difficult, and only a few ever find it.” Matthew 7:13-14
“Not everyone who calls out to me, ‘Lord! Lord!’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Only those who actually do the will of my Father in heaven will enter. On judgment day many will say to me, ‘Lord! Lord! We prophesied in your name and cast out demons in your name and performed many miracles in your name.’ But I will reply, ‘I never knew you. Get away from me, you who break God’s laws.” Matthew 7:21-23
“Just as the weeds are sorted out and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of the world. The Son of Man will send his angels, and they will remove from his Kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil. And the angels will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Then the righteous will shine like the sun in their Father’s Kingdom. Anyone with ears to hear should listen and understand!” Matthew 13:40-43
How do we determine if scripture is being misinterpreted? By simply going back to what Jesus said and letting his words show us the truth. Anyone who continues to preach scripture that contradicts his words should be avoided and exposed as wolfs.
“Jesus said to the people who believed in him, “You are truly my disciples if you remain faithful to my teachings. And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” John 8:31-32
Don’t forget, the Devil was an angel and even quoted scripture when he tempted Jesus but it was Jesus’ full understanding of scripture that led him to quote scripture back to the devil in order to reveal God’s truth. This is why scripture (God’s Words) is also important on our journey.
“But Jesus told him, “No! The Scriptures say, ‘People do not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.” Matthew 4:4
“Get out of here, Satan,” Jesus told him. “For the Scriptures say, ‘You must worship the Lord your God and serve only him.” Matthew 4:10
“Beware of false prophets who come disguised as harmless sheep but are really vicious wolves.” Matthew 7:15
Did people misinterpret scripture in the past? Yes! Even Jesus had to correct them.
“Jesus replied, “Your mistake is that you don’t know the Scriptures, and you don’t know the power of God.” Matthew 22:29
“Then he added, “Now go and learn the meaning of this Scripture: ‘I want you to show mercy, not offer sacrifices.’ For I have come to call not those who think they are righteous, but those who know they are sinners.” Matthew 9:13
Our sin is that we slowly begin to believe the words of others and even the apostles own words over Jesus as they’re distorted to justify a different path to salvation. We stubbornly cling to their words instead of his.
“The world’s sin is that it refuses to believe in me.” John 16:9

@@philipeon2831 Is the Catholic Church Jesus’ original church?
The quotes provided below are historical facts in reference to our early church which existed prior to Romes adoption of Christianity in 313 A.D.
Church:
* "Let no man do anything connected with the Church without the bishop. Let that be deemed a proper Eucharist, which is [administered] either by the bishop, or by one to whom he has entrusted it. Wherever the bishop shall appear, there let the multitude [of the people] also be; even as, wherever Jesus Christ is, there is the Catholic Church.” [St. Ignatius of Antioch - Letter to the Smyrneans 8 (c. A.D. 110)]
Bishop, Priest & Deacon:
* “Since, then, I have had the privilege of seeing you, through Damas your most worthy bishop, and through your worthy presbyters Bassus and Apollonius, and through my fellow-servant the deacon Sotio, whose friendship may I ever enjoy, because he is subject to the bishop as to the grace of God, and to the presbytery as to the law of Jesus Christ [St. Ignatius of Antioch- Letter to the Magnesians 2 (c. A.D. 110)].
Eucharist:
* “Take note of those who hold heterodox opinions on the grace of Jesus Christ, which have come to us, and see how contrary their opinions are to the mind of God... They abstain from the Eucharist and from prayer because they do not confess that the Eucharist is the flesh of our Savior Jesus Christ, Ash that suffered for our sins and that the Father, in his goodness, raised up again. They who deny the gift of God are perishing in their disputes.” [St. Ignatius of Antioch - Letter to the Smyrnaeans 6-7 (c. A.D. 110)].
Scripture:
* “[W]hoever perverts the sayings of the Lord for his own desires, and says that there is neither resurrection nor judgment, is the firstborn of Satan. Let us leave the foolishness and the false teaching of the crowd and turn back to the word that was delivered to us in the beginning.” [St. Polycrap of Smyrna - Letter to the Philippians 7 (c. A.D. 135)].
Sunday:
* “But Sunday is the day on which we all hold our common assembly, because it is the first day on which God, having wrought a change in the darkness and matter, made the world; and Jesus Christ our Savior on the same day rose from the dead.” [St. Justin Martyr - First Apology 67 (c. A.D. 151)].
Actions/Works:
* “We have learned from the prophets, and we believe it is true, that punishments, and chastisements, and good rewards, are rendered according to the merit of each man's actions. If it is not so, then all things happen by fate, and nothing is in our own power. If it is fated that this man be good, and this other evil, the former is not meritorious nor the latter blameworthy [St. Justin Martyr - First Apology 43 (c. A.D. 151)].
Apostolic Succession:
* “It is within the power of all, in every church, who may wish to see the truth, to contemplate clearly the Tradition of the apostles manifested throughout the whole world; and we are in a position to reckon up those who were instituted bishops in the churches by the apostles, and [to demonstrate] the succession of these men to our own times; those who neither taught nor knew anything these [heretics] rave about.” [St. Irenaeus of Lyons - Against Heresies 3:3:1 (c. A.D. 189)]
Baptism:
* “The children shall be baptized first. All the children who can answer for themselves, let them answer. If there are any children who cannot answer for themselves, let their parents answer for them, or someone else from their family.” [St. Hippolytus of Rome - Apostolic Tradition 21 (c. A.D. 215)].
Confession:
* “After this, one of the bishops present, at the request of all, laying his hand on him who is ordained bishop, shall pray this way: O God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. pour forth the power that is from you, of "the princely Spirit' that you delivered to your beloved Child, Jesus Christ, and that he bestowed on your holy apostles, who established the Church that hallows you everywhere, for the endless glory and praise of your name. Father, "who knows the hearts [of all]” grant this servant, who you have chosen for the episcopate, to feed your holy flock and serve as your high priest blamelessly night and day, and unceasingly turn away wrath from your face and offer to you the gifts of the holy Church. And that by the high priestly Spirit he may have authority "to forgive sins" according to your command.” [St. Hippolytus of Rome - Apostolic Tradition 2-3 (c. A.D. 215)].
Confirmation:
* “The bishop will then lay his hand upon them, invoking, "Lord God, you who have made these worthy of the removal of sins through the bath of regeneration, make them worthy to be filled with your Holy Spirit, grant to them your grace, that they might serve you according to your will, for to you is the glory, Father and Son with the Holy Spirit, in the holy Church, now and throughout the ages of the ages. Amen." After this he pours the oil into his hand, and laying his hand on each of their heads, says, "I anoint you with holy oil in God the Father Almighty, and Christ Jesus, and the Holy Spirit." Then, after sealing each of them on the forehead, he shall give them the kiss of peace and say, "The Lord be with you." And the one who has been baptized shall say, "And with your spirit." So shall he do to each one [St. Hippolytus of Rome - Apostolic Tradition 21-22 (c. A.D. 215).
Peter’s Authority:
* “The Lord says to Peter: "I say to you,' he says, “that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Church, and the gates of hell will not overcome it. And to you I will give the keys of the kingdom of heaven. [Mt 16:18-19]. On him he builds the Church, and commands him to feed the sheep [Jn 21:17], and although he assigns a like power to all the apostles, yet he founded a single chair [cathedra], and he established by his own authority a source and an intrinsic reason for that unity. Indeed the others were also what Peter was [apostles], but a primacy is given to Peter, by which it is made clear that there is one Church and one chair.... If someone does not hold fast to this unity of Peter, can he think that he holds the faith? If he deserts the chair of Peter upon whom the Church was built, can he be confident that he is in the Church?.” [St. Cyprian of Carthage - Unity of the Catholic Church 4; first edition (Treatise 1:4) (A.D. 251)].
These few topics (but a glimpse) were not only discussed but settled BEFORE Rome adopted Christianity (The Catholic Church) and eventually became The Roman Catholic Church as it also adopted its name after 313 A.D.
Is the Catholic Church Jesus’ original church? Yes!
Does this excuse all its mistakes and sins from the record? Of course not! As Christians, we are called to hold the church accountable, not leave it and let evil flourish within it.
This refusal of accountability within every Christian has led to over 40,000 diferente Christian churches and the ignorance which has flourished from it.
“This will continue until we all come to such unity in our faith and knowledge of God’s Son that we will be mature in the Lord, measuring up to the full and complete standard of Christ. Then we will no longer be immature like children. We won’t be tossed and blown about by every wind of new teaching. We will not be influenced when people try to trick us with lies so clever they sound like the truth. Instead, we will speak the truth in love, growing in every way more and more like Christ, who is the head of his body, the church.” Ephesians 4:13-15
We are called by God to unite! What better church to do it under than the one he started.

1. Saved by Grace alone
2. Save by Faith alone
3. Save by Grace through Faith alone
4. Saved by your Deeds alone
5. Once Saved, Always Saved
6. Salvation is Guaranteed
Salvation is a life long process which is never guaranteed, nor by grace, by faith or by deeds alone. Jesus’ own words confirm this and anyone who preaches scripture that contradicts Jesus’ own words is misinterpreting it or intentionally straying you away from the true faith.

9. “Then Jesus said to his disciples, “I tell you the truth, it is very hard for a rich person to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. I’ll say it again-it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the Kingdom of God!” Matthew 19:23-24
10. “So every tree that does not produce good fruit is chopped down and thrown into the fire. Yes, just as you can identify a tree by its fruit, so you can identify people by their actions.” Matthew 7:19-20

“The world’s sin is that it refuses to believe in me.” John 16:9
@@Antonio.R.O.C. ,I’m starting to think you are being lead by demons trying to lead others to hell through a faith plus works gospel.Ephesians 2:8-9.
@@stephen1774 Ephesians 2:8-10 in full context:
“For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.” Ephesians 2:8-10 NKJV
As you can see, Grace, Faith & Works are intertwined TOGETHER! You can’t be saved by Grace, Faith or Works alone separate from each other!
Can an individual lose God’s Grace?
“Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord: looking carefully lest anyone fall short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up cause trouble, and by this many become defiled; lest there be any fornicator or profane person like Esau, who for one morsel of food sold his birthright. For you know that afterward, when he wanted to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no place for repentance, though he sought it diligently with tears.” Hebrews 12:14-17 NKJV
Can an individual lose their faith?
“Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons,” 1 Timothy 4:1 NKJV
Can an individual lose being declared righteous by God?
“When I say to the righteous that he shall surely live, but he trusts in his own righteousness and commits iniquity, none of his righteous works shall be remembered; but because of the iniquity that he has committed, he shall die.” Ezekiel 33:13 NKJV
Can an individual lose being justified by God?
“I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.” Luke 18:14 NKJV
If an individual can lose God’s Grace, their Faith, their Righteousness & their justification based on their actions/Works, how can any real Christian then claim to have their salvation guaranteed before God’s judgement?
“Little children, let no one deceive you. He who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous. He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.” 1 John 3:7-8 NKJV
1 John 3:7-8 is clearly comparing righteousness & sins to works and it’s consequences.
If after knowing the truth (Jesus), his teachings which lead to righteousness through their good works and which have been prepared beforehand by God, people then turn around and continue to sin, will there be no consequences because they’ve been “saved by grace through Faith alone”?
“For if, after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, the latter end is worse for them than the beginning. For it would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than having known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered to them.” 2 Peter 2:20-21 NKJV
“Therefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; as obedient children, not conforming yourselves to the former lusts, as in your ignorance; but as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, because it is written, “Be holy, for I am holy.” And if you call on the Father, who without partiality judges according to each one’s work, conduct yourselves throughout the time of your stay here in fear;”1 Peter 1:13-17 NKJV
“Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure.”Philippians 2:12-13 NKJV
What happen to this easy way to salvation based on being “saved by Grace through Faith alone”?
This ignorance of self seeking salvation only leads to the piling of sins before God.
“But in accordance with your hardness and your impenitent heart you are treasuring up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God, who “will render to each one according to his deeds”: eternal life to those who by patient continuance in doing good seek for glory, honor, and immortality; but to those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness-indignation and wrath,” Romans 2:5-8 NKJV
The Apostle Judas clearly proves that “saved by Grace through Faith alone” is a false gospel based on scripture that’s been taken out of context. Judas was given God’s Grace when he was pick as an apostle and because of his Faith, was given the power to heal the sick and cast out demons directly by Jesus but it was his Works that condemn him! His refusal to abide by Jesus’ conditions!
God’s Grace for Judas:
“Now the names of the twelve apostles are these: first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother; Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus; Simon the Cananite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed Him.” Matthew 10:2-4 NKJV
Judas Faith:
“Then He called His twelve disciples together and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases.” Luke 9:1 NKJV
Judas Actions/Works:
“And truly the Son of Man goes as it has been determined, but woe to that man by whom He is betrayed!” Luke 22:22 NKJV
I’m not saying that Works is above God’s Grace nor our Faith but that it was Judas breaking that which God calls us to have TOGETHER along with not abiding by Jesus’ conditions which led to his downfall!
Judas wasn’t saved by God’s Grace alone, Judas wasn’t saved by his Faith alone and clearly Judas wasn’t save by his Works alone either!
Judas literally lost his salvation because of his WORKS! His betrayal of Jesus & his conditions!
Did Judas not declare Jesus Christ as his Lord & Savior?, was he not given God’s Grace?, did his Faith not lead him to have power given by Jesus? Then why wasn’t Judas saved? What makes certain Christians better than Judas? Wasn’t Judas picked directly by Jesus? What happen to this easy way to salvation based on being “saved by Grace through Faith alone”? Shouldn’t Judas have been saved?
Lukewarm “Christians” don’t even have the power to heal the sick or cast out demons but they claim to have enough “faith” to guarantee their salvation before God’s judgement!? Even Jesus dealt with those who claimed to have “faith” and were called out by him!
“So Jesus said to them, “Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.” Matthew 17:20 NKJV
Have ANY of these “Christians” who claim to be “save by Grace through Faith alone” been able to move a mountain!? Then how is it that they can claim to have their salvation guaranteed!? By guaranteeing their salvation, they take away God’s ability to pass judgement? Are they more powerful than God?
Should I be surprised that you believe a false gospel? No!
“For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers;” II Timothy 4:3 NKJV
Does this easy way to salvation “saved by Grace through Faith alone” sound like man’s glory for himself or for God’s glory?
“He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but He who seeks the glory of the One who sent Him is true, and no unrighteousness is in Him.”John 7:18 NKJV
Will many fail to enter God’s Kingdom?
“Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.” Matthew 7:13-14 NKJV
Jesus direct words:
“Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die, for I have not found your works perfect before God.” Revelation 3:2 NKJV
Does this sound like you can be “saved by Grace through Faith alone”? Does that sound like your works play no role in your salvation?
You should also checkout Pastor John Hagee,been watching his program for years.
There is nothing we bring to the table. If our salvation depended on anything we did then Christ’s sacrifice wasn’t enough. When you inject your works into what Christ did then you devalue what He did. Salvation comes by having faith that His blood alone is enough to cover you and believing Him that He alone is enough.
Thank you Brother Allen this clears thing up.

Will many fail to enter God’s Kingdom? Yes! Even those who claimed to be Christians & followers of Jesus will fail because they refused to obey his laws & conditions by which salvation would be obtained!
“Someone asked him, “Lord, will only a few be saved?” He replied, “Work hard to enter the narrow door to God’s Kingdom, for many will try to enter but will fail.” Luke 13:23-24
“You can enter God’s Kingdom only through the narrow gate. The highway to hell is broad, and its gate is wide for the many who choose that way. But the gateway to life is very narrow and the road is difficult, and only a few ever find it.” Matthew 7:13-14
“Not everyone who calls out to me, ‘Lord! Lord!’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Only those who actually do the will of my Father in heaven will enter. On judgment day many will say to me, ‘Lord! Lord! We prophesied in your name and cast out demons in your name and performed many miracles in your name.’ But I will reply, ‘I never knew you. Get away from me, you who break God’s laws.” Matthew 7:21-23
“Just as the weeds are sorted out and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of the world. The Son of Man will send his angels, and they will remove from his Kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil. And the angels will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Then the righteous will shine like the sun in their Father’s Kingdom. Anyone with ears to hear should listen and understand!” Matthew 13:40-43
How do we determine if scripture is being misinterpreted? By simply going back to what Jesus said and letting his words show us the truth. Anyone who continues to preach scripture that contradicts his words should be avoided and exposed as wolfs.
“Jesus said to the people who believed in him, “You are truly my disciples if you remain faithful to my teachings. And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” John 8:31-32
Don’t forget, the Devil was an angel and even quoted scripture when he tempted Jesus but it was Jesus’ full understanding of scripture that led him to quote scripture back to the devil in order to reveal God’s truth. This is why scripture (God’s Words) is also important on our journey.
“But Jesus told him, “No! The Scriptures say, ‘People do not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.” Matthew 4:4
“Get out of here, Satan,” Jesus told him. “For the Scriptures say, ‘You must worship the Lord your God and serve only him.” Matthew 4:10
“Beware of false prophets who come disguised as harmless sheep but are really vicious wolves.” Matthew 7:15
Did people misinterpret scripture in the past? Yes! Even Jesus had to correct them.
“Jesus replied, “Your mistake is that you don’t know the Scriptures, and you don’t know the power of God.” Matthew 22:29
“Then he added, “Now go and learn the meaning of this Scripture: ‘I want you to show mercy, not offer sacrifices.’ For I have come to call not those who think they are righteous, but those who know they are sinners.” Matthew 9:13
Our sin is that we slowly begin to believe the words of others and even the apostles own words over Jesus as they’re distorted to justify a different path to salvation. We stubbornly cling to their words instead of his.
“The world’s sin is that it refuses to believe in me.” John 16:9

“For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.” Ephesians 2:8-10 NKJV
As you can see, Grace, Faith & Works are intertwined TOGETHER! You can’t be saved by Grace, Faith or Works alone separate from each other!
Can an individual lose God’s Grace?
“Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord: looking carefully lest anyone fall short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up cause trouble, and by this many become defiled; lest there be any fornicator or profane person like Esau, who for one morsel of food sold his birthright. For you know that afterward, when he wanted to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no place for repentance, though he sought it diligently with tears.” Hebrews 12:14-17 NKJV
Can an individual lose their faith?
“Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons,” 1 Timothy 4:1 NKJV
Can an individual lose being declared righteous by God?
“When I say to the righteous that he shall surely live, but he trusts in his own righteousness and commits iniquity, none of his righteous works shall be remembered; but because of the iniquity that he has committed, he shall die.” Ezekiel 33:13 NKJV
Can an individual lose being justified by God?
“I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.” Luke 18:14 NKJV
If an individual can lose God’s Grace, their Faith, their Righteousness & their justification based on their actions/Works, how can any real Christian then claim to have their salvation guaranteed before God’s judgement?
“Little children, let no one deceive you. He who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous. He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.” 1 John 3:7-8 NKJV
1 John 3:7-8 is clearly comparing righteousness & sins to works and it’s consequences.
If after knowing the truth (Jesus), his teachings which lead to righteousness through their good works and which have been prepared beforehand by God, people then turn around and continue to sin, will there be no consequences because they’ve been “saved by grace through Faith alone”?
“For if, after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, the latter end is worse for them than the beginning. For it would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than having known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered to them.” 2 Peter 2:20-21 NKJV
“Therefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; as obedient children, not conforming yourselves to the former lusts, as in your ignorance; but as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, because it is written, “Be holy, for I am holy.” And if you call on the Father, who without partiality judges according to each one’s work, conduct yourselves throughout the time of your stay here in fear;”1 Peter 1:13-17 NKJV
“Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure.”Philippians 2:12-13 NKJV
What happen to this easy way to salvation based on being “saved by Grace through Faith alone”?
This ignorance of self seeking salvation only leads to the piling of sins before God.
“But in accordance with your hardness and your impenitent heart you are treasuring up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God, who “will render to each one according to his deeds”: eternal life to those who by patient continuance in doing good seek for glory, honor, and immortality; but to those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness-indignation and wrath,” Romans 2:5-8 NKJV
The Apostle Judas clearly proves that “saved by Grace through Faith alone” is a false gospel based on scripture that’s been taken out of context. Judas was given God’s Grace when he was pick as an apostle and because of his Faith, was given the power to heal the sick and cast out demons directly by Jesus but it was his Works that condemn him! His refusal to abide by Jesus’ conditions!
God’s Grace for Judas:
“Now the names of the twelve apostles are these: first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother; Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus; Simon the Cananite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed Him.” Matthew 10:2-4 NKJV
Judas Faith:
“Then He called His twelve disciples together and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases.” Luke 9:1 NKJV
Judas Actions/Works:
“And truly the Son of Man goes as it has been determined, but woe to that man by whom He is betrayed!” Luke 22:22 NKJV
I’m not saying that Works is above God’s Grace nor our Faith but that it was Judas breaking that which God calls us to have TOGETHER along with not abiding by Jesus’ conditions which led to his downfall!
Judas wasn’t saved by God’s Grace alone, Judas wasn’t saved by his Faith alone and clearly Judas wasn’t save by his Works alone either!
Judas literally lost his salvation because of his WORKS! His betrayal of Jesus & his conditions!
Did Judas not declare Jesus Christ as his Lord & Savior?, was he not given God’s Grace?, did his Faith not lead him to have power given by Jesus? Then why wasn’t Judas saved? What makes certain Christians better than Judas? Wasn’t Judas picked directly by Jesus? What happen to this easy way to salvation based on being “saved by Grace through Faith alone”? Shouldn’t Judas have been saved?
Lukewarm “Christians” don’t even have the power to heal the sick or cast out demons but they claim to have enough “faith” to guarantee their salvation before God’s judgement!? Even Jesus dealt with those who claimed to have “faith” and were called out by him!
“So Jesus said to them, “Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.” Matthew 17:20 NKJV
Have ANY of these “Christians” who claim to be “save by Grace through Faith alone” been able to move a mountain!? Then how is it that they can claim to have their salvation guaranteed!? By guaranteeing their salvation, they take away God’s ability to pass judgement? Are they more powerful than God?
Should I be surprised that you believe a false gospel? No!
“For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers;” II Timothy 4:3 NKJV
Does this easy way to salvation “saved by Grace through Faith alone” sound like man’s glory for himself or for God’s glory?
“He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but He who seeks the glory of the One who sent Him is true, and no unrighteousness is in Him.”John 7:18 NKJV
Will many fail to enter God’s Kingdom?
“Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.” Matthew 7:13-14 NKJV
Jesus direct words:
“Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die, for I have not found your works perfect before God.” Revelation 3:2 NKJV
Does this sound like you can be “saved by Grace through Faith alone”? Does that sound like your works play no role in your salvation?
Thank you for explaining this. I know someone who adamantly believes Salvation is conditional.
He loves the Lord, to the point that he is not concerned with the current news, bit believes he will never be included with the church because he struggles with alcohol and stuff. I have tried to reassure him, but he thinks I am wrong. I have given up. Please pray for him, his name is Dallas.

Jesus never once throughout the Bible preached that you are:
1. Saved by Grace alone
2. Save by Faith alone
3. Save by Grace through Faith alone
4. Saved by your Deeds alone
5. Once Saved, Always Saved
6. Salvation is Guaranteed
Salvation is a life long process which is never guaranteed, nor by grace, by faith or by deeds alone. Jesus’ own words confirm this and anyone who preaches scripture that contradicts Jesus’ own words is misinterpreting it or intentionally straying you away from the true faith.
Is it hard to enter God’s Kingdom? Yes!
“This amazed them. But Jesus said again, “Dear children, it is very hard to enter the Kingdom of God.” Mark 10:24

5. “Everyone who acknowledges me publicly here on earth, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven. But everyone who denies me here on earth, I will also deny before my Father in heaven.”Matthew 10:32-33
6. “So I tell you, every sin and blasphemy can be forgiven-except blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, which will never be forgiven.” Matthew 12:31

I believe that I cannot make it to heaven on my own; I'm a terrible person in my flesh. I need Jesus as my Savior and I trust in Him for that. However, sometimes I feel like God will reject me anyway. Friends and family have and I sometimes feel like God will, too.
So, we don’t go by feelings, feeling lie and go up and down ,we go exactly by what scripture says.according to Rightly Divided scripture for today, to be saved you must Believe/ Trust that Jesus Christ died on the cross for your sins,was buried ,and rose again on the third day,and His Shed Blood is payment for all of your sins forever,( you personally) He did it for YOU.If you have Believed / trusted this, you are saved forever according to scripture, no matter what your human feelings tell you.
If you are a Christian, you will make it to Heaven, but
you must persevere.

Matt 18 clearly shows someone forgiven and then having that forgiveness taken away.
The servant is forgiven in verse 27, and in verse 30 he does not forgive his servant. In verse 34, the King removes his forgiveness and the unforgiving servant, WHO WAS FORGIVEN IN VERSE 27, is delivered into punishment.
Very helpful! This VERY scripture had been on my mind and my intentions were to follow up with my Pastor about it. I got busy, pushed it off and just forgot about it.
Thank you for being sensitive to the Holy Spirit! God bless you and your ministry.
🙏🏽
Sometimes when we forget it is because the Holy Spirit is adjusting you to know things at a better time without farce. Thank you for being a fellow believer
Thank you brother for this video! 🙂 I learn so much from your video's
Great video!!!
Thanks for watching, Clayton Burns!
Thank you brother, thanks for you help and study. God bless you !
Thank you brother Allen!! and God BLESS you in Jesus name…. The TRUTH shall set them FREE… it is written .
Jesus never once throughout the Bible preached that you are:
1. Saved by Grace alone
2. Save by Faith alone
3. Save by Grace through Faith alone
4. Saved by your Deeds alone
5. Once Saved, Always Saved
6. Salvation is Guaranteed
Salvation is a life long process which is never guaranteed, nor by grace, by faith or by deeds alone. Jesus’ own words confirm this and anyone who preaches scripture that contradicts Jesus’ own words is misinterpreting it or intentionally straying you away from the true faith.
Is it hard to enter God’s Kingdom? Yes!
“This amazed them. But Jesus said again, “Dear children, it is very hard to enter the Kingdom of God.” Mark 10:24
Conditions by which salvation can be achieved directly from Jesus.
1. “Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me.” John 14:6
2. “Jesus replied, “I assure you, no one can enter the Kingdom of God without being born of water and the Spirit. Humans can reproduce only human life, but the Holy Spirit gives birth to spiritual life. So don’t be surprised when I say, ‘You must be born again.” John 3:5-7
3. “Jesus called a little child to him and put the child among them. Then he said, “I tell you the truth, unless you turn from your sins and become like little children, you will never get into the Kingdom of Heaven.” Matthew 18:2-3
4. “No, and I tell you again that unless you repent, you will perish, too.” Luke 13:
5. “Everyone who acknowledges me publicly here on earth, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven. But everyone who denies me here on earth, I will also deny before my Father in heaven.”Matthew 10:32-33
6. “So I tell you, every sin and blasphemy can be forgiven-except blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, which will never be forgiven.” Matthew 12:31
7. “But I warn you-unless your righteousness is better than the righteousness of the teachers of religious law and the Pharisees, you will never enter the Kingdom of Heaven!” Matthew 5:20
8. “But Jesus told him, “Anyone who puts a hand to the plow and then looks back is not fit for the Kingdom of God.” Luke 9:62
9. “Then Jesus said to his disciples, “I tell you the truth, it is very hard for a rich person to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. I’ll say it again-it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the Kingdom of God!” Matthew 19:23-24
10. “So every tree that does not produce good fruit is chopped down and thrown into the fire. Yes, just as you can identify a tree by its fruit, so you can identify people by their actions.” Matthew 7:19-20
11. “But I say, if you are even angry with someone, you are subject to judgment! If you call someone an idiot, you are in danger of being brought before the court. And if you curse someone, you are in danger of the fires of hell.”Matthew 5:22
12. “If you forgive those who sin against you, your heavenly Father will forgive you. But if you refuse to forgive others, your Father will not forgive your sins.” Matthew 6:14-15
13. “If you love your father or mother more than you love me, you are not worthy of being mine; or if you love your son or daughter more than me, you are not worthy of being mine. If you refuse to take up your cross and follow me, you are not worthy of being mine. If you cling to your life, you will lose it; but if you give up your life for me, you will find it.” Matthew 10:37-39
14. “And I tell you this, you must give an account on judgment day for every idle word you speak. The words you say will either acquit you or condemn you.” Matthew 12:36-37
15. “But if you cause one of these little ones who trusts in me to fall into sin, it would be better for you to have a large millstone tied around your neck and be drowned in the depths of the sea.” Matthew 18:6
16. “So Jesus said again, “I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you cannot have eternal life within you. But anyone who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise that person at the last day.” John 6:53-54
Will many fail to enter God’s Kingdom? Yes! Even those who claimed to be Christians & followers of Jesus will fail because they refused to obey his laws & conditions by which salvation would be obtained!
“Someone asked him, “Lord, will only a few be saved?” He replied, “Work hard to enter the narrow door to God’s Kingdom, for many will try to enter but will fail.” Luke 13:23-24
“You can enter God’s Kingdom only through the narrow gate. The highway to hell is broad, and its gate is wide for the many who choose that way. But the gateway to life is very narrow and the road is difficult, and only a few ever find it.” Matthew 7:13-14
“Not everyone who calls out to me, ‘Lord! Lord!’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Only those who actually do the will of my Father in heaven will enter. On judgment day many will say to me, ‘Lord! Lord! We prophesied in your name and cast out demons in your name and performed many miracles in your name.’ But I will reply, ‘I never knew you. Get away from me, you who break God’s laws.” Matthew 7:21-23
“Just as the weeds are sorted out and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of the world. The Son of Man will send his angels, and they will remove from his Kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil. And the angels will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Then the righteous will shine like the sun in their Father’s Kingdom. Anyone with ears to hear should listen and understand!” Matthew 13:40-43
How do we determine if scripture is being misinterpreted? By simply going back to what Jesus said and letting his words show us the truth. Anyone who continues to preach scripture that contradicts his words should be avoided and exposed as wolfs.
“Jesus said to the people who believed in him, “You are truly my disciples if you remain faithful to my teachings. And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” John 8:31-32
Don’t forget, the Devil was an angel and even quoted scripture when he tempted Jesus but it was Jesus’ full understanding of scripture that led him to quote scripture back to the devil in order to reveal God’s truth. This is why scripture (God’s Words) is also important on our journey.
“But Jesus told him, “No! The Scriptures say, ‘People do not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.” Matthew 4:4
“Get out of here, Satan,” Jesus told him. “For the Scriptures say, ‘You must worship the Lord your God and serve only him.” Matthew 4:10
“Beware of false prophets who come disguised as harmless sheep but are really vicious wolves.” Matthew 7:15
Did people misinterpret scripture in the past? Yes! Even Jesus had to correct them.
“Jesus replied, “Your mistake is that you don’t know the Scriptures, and you don’t know the power of God.” Matthew 22:29
“Then he added, “Now go and learn the meaning of this Scripture: ‘I want you to show mercy, not offer sacrifices.’ For I have come to call not those who think they are righteous, but those who know they are sinners.” Matthew 9:13
Our sin is that we slowly begin to believe the words of others and even the apostles own words over Jesus as they’re distorted to justify a different path to salvation. We stubbornly cling to their words instead of his.
“The world’s sin is that it refuses to believe in me.” John 16:9
@@Antonio.R.O.C. ,please get saved before you miss the rapture, your false faith plus works gospel will lead you to hell.Ephesians 2:8-9.
Love what you are doing. Please Allen don't lose any more weight.
Thanks for being bold on giving examples of groups of people who may be in danger of this.
Is the Catholic Church Jesus’ original church?
The quotes provided below are historical facts in reference to our early church which existed prior to Romes adoption of Christianity in 313 A.D.
Church:
* "Let no man do anything connected with the Church without the bishop. Let that be deemed a proper Eucharist, which is [administered] either by the bishop, or by one to whom he has entrusted it. Wherever the bishop shall appear, there let the multitude [of the people] also be; even as, wherever Jesus Christ is, there is the Catholic Church.” [St. Ignatius of Antioch - Letter to the Smyrneans 8 (c. A.D. 110)]
Bishop, Priest & Deacon:
* “Since, then, I have had the privilege of seeing you, through Damas your most worthy bishop, and through your worthy presbyters Bassus and Apollonius, and through my fellow-servant the deacon Sotio, whose friendship may I ever enjoy, because he is subject to the bishop as to the grace of God, and to the presbytery as to the law of Jesus Christ [St. Ignatius of Antioch- Letter to the Magnesians 2 (c. A.D. 110)].
Eucharist:
* “Take note of those who hold heterodox opinions on the grace of Jesus Christ, which have come to us, and see how contrary their opinions are to the mind of God... They abstain from the Eucharist and from prayer because they do not confess that the Eucharist is the flesh of our Savior Jesus Christ, Ash that suffered for our sins and that the Father, in his goodness, raised up again. They who deny the gift of God are perishing in their disputes.” [St. Ignatius of Antioch - Letter to the Smyrnaeans 6-7 (c. A.D. 110)].
Scripture:
* “[W]hoever perverts the sayings of the Lord for his own desires, and says that there is neither resurrection nor judgment, is the firstborn of Satan. Let us leave the foolishness and the false teaching of the crowd and turn back to the word that was delivered to us in the beginning.” [St. Polycrap of Smyrna - Letter to the Philippians 7 (c. A.D. 135)].
Sunday:
* “But Sunday is the day on which we all hold our common assembly, because it is the first day on which God, having wrought a change in the darkness and matter, made the world; and Jesus Christ our Savior on the same day rose from the dead.” [St. Justin Martyr - First Apology 67 (c. A.D. 151)].
Actions/Works:
* “We have learned from the prophets, and we believe it is true, that punishments, and chastisements, and good rewards, are rendered according to the merit of each man's actions. If it is not so, then all things happen by fate, and nothing is in our own power. If it is fated that this man be good, and this other evil, the former is not meritorious nor the latter blameworthy [St. Justin Martyr - First Apology 43 (c. A.D. 151)].
Apostolic Succession:
* “It is within the power of all, in every church, who may wish to see the truth, to contemplate clearly the Tradition of the apostles manifested throughout the whole world; and we are in a position to reckon up those who were instituted bishops in the churches by the apostles, and [to demonstrate] the succession of these men to our own times; those who neither taught nor knew anything these [heretics] rave about.” [St. Irenaeus of Lyons - Against Heresies 3:3:1 (c. A.D. 189)]
Baptism:
* “The children shall be baptized first. All the children who can answer for themselves, let them answer. If there are any children who cannot answer for themselves, let their parents answer for them, or someone else from their family.” [St. Hippolytus of Rome - Apostolic Tradition 21 (c. A.D. 215)].
Confession:
* “After this, one of the bishops present, at the request of all, laying his hand on him who is ordained bishop, shall pray this way: O God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. pour forth the power that is from you, of "the princely Spirit' that you delivered to your beloved Child, Jesus Christ, and that he bestowed on your holy apostles, who established the Church that hallows you everywhere, for the endless glory and praise of your name. Father, "who knows the hearts [of all]” grant this servant, who you have chosen for the episcopate, to feed your holy flock and serve as your high priest blamelessly night and day, and unceasingly turn away wrath from your face and offer to you the gifts of the holy Church. And that by the high priestly Spirit he may have authority "to forgive sins" according to your command.” [St. Hippolytus of Rome - Apostolic Tradition 2-3 (c. A.D. 215)].
Confirmation:
* “The bishop will then lay his hand upon them, invoking, "Lord God, you who have made these worthy of the removal of sins through the bath of regeneration, make them worthy to be filled with your Holy Spirit, grant to them your grace, that they might serve you according to your will, for to you is the glory, Father and Son with the Holy Spirit, in the holy Church, now and throughout the ages of the ages. Amen." After this he pours the oil into his hand, and laying his hand on each of their heads, says, "I anoint you with holy oil in God the Father Almighty, and Christ Jesus, and the Holy Spirit." Then, after sealing each of them on the forehead, he shall give them the kiss of peace and say, "The Lord be with you." And the one who has been baptized shall say, "And with your spirit." So shall he do to each one [St. Hippolytus of Rome - Apostolic Tradition 21-22 (c. A.D. 215).
Peter’s Authority:
* “The Lord says to Peter: "I say to you,' he says, “that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Church, and the gates of hell will not overcome it. And to you I will give the keys of the kingdom of heaven. [Mt 16:18-19]. On him he builds the Church, and commands him to feed the sheep [Jn 21:17], and although he assigns a like power to all the apostles, yet he founded a single chair [cathedra], and he established by his own authority a source and an intrinsic reason for that unity. Indeed the others were also what Peter was [apostles], but a primacy is given to Peter, by which it is made clear that there is one Church and one chair.... If someone does not hold fast to this unity of Peter, can he think that he holds the faith? If he deserts the chair of Peter upon whom the Church was built, can he be confident that he is in the Church?.” [St. Cyprian of Carthage - Unity of the Catholic Church 4; first edition (Treatise 1:4) (A.D. 251)].
These few topics (but a glimpse) were not only discussed but settled BEFORE Rome adopted Christianity (The Catholic Church) and eventually became The Roman Catholic Church as it also adopted its name after 313 A.D.
Is the Catholic Church Jesus’ original church? Yes!
Does this excuse all its mistakes and sins from the record? Of course not! As Christians, we are called to hold the church accountable, not leave it and let evil flourish within it.
This refusal of accountability within every Christian has led to over 40,000 diferente Christian churches and the ignorance which has flourished from it.
“This will continue until we all come to such unity in our faith and knowledge of God’s Son that we will be mature in the Lord, measuring up to the full and complete standard of Christ. Then we will no longer be immature like children. We won’t be tossed and blown about by every wind of new teaching. We will not be influenced when people try to trick us with lies so clever they sound like the truth. Instead, we will speak the truth in love, growing in every way more and more like Christ, who is the head of his body, the church.” Ephesians 4:13-15
We are called by God to unite! What better church to do it under than the one he started.
Excellent clarification.

Hello Allen, can you please explain the tree of life.
Love this video and agree with everything but there is one thing I might add. I believe this is referring to only the book of revelation. At the time it was written it was a stand alone book, it wasn’t part of “the Bible” as it wasn’t constructed yet. So wouldn’t it only be for the book of revelation? If you add or take away from this book of prophecy (revelation) specifically. By the way Allen I love your videos thank you for all the amazing work you do to help us grow spiritually, I thank God for you!

Don’t forget, the Devil was an angel and even quoted scripture when he tempted Jesus but it was Jesus’ full understanding of scripture that led him to quote scripture back to the devil in order to reveal God’s truth. This is why scripture (God’s Words) is also important on our journey.
“But Jesus told him, “No! The Scriptures say, ‘People do not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.” Matthew 4:4
“Get out of here, Satan,” Jesus told him. “For the Scriptures say, ‘You must worship the Lord your God and serve only him.” Matthew 4:10
“Beware of false prophets who come disguised as harmless sheep but are really vicious wolves.” Matthew 7:15
Did people misinterpret scripture in the past? Yes! Even Jesus had to correct them.
“Jesus replied, “Your mistake is that you don’t know the Scriptures, and you don’t know the power of God.” Matthew 22:29
“Then he added, “Now go and learn the meaning of this Scripture: ‘I want you to show mercy, not offer sacrifices.’ For I have come to call not those who think they are righteous, but those who know they are sinners.” Matthew 9:13
Our sin is that we slowly begin to believe the words of others and even the apostles own words over Jesus as they’re distorted to justify a different path to salvation. We stubbornly cling to their words instead of his.
“The world’s sin is that it refuses to believe in me.” John 16:9
That's very interesting! Does this mean you have like a "music" playlist of books, or chapters, ir how do you do this? Does it help you receive the Word easier? I would like to try this maybe👍
@@gohawks3571 It does. I listen throughout my work day. It sometimes becomes background noise but its amazing how much I am able to remember. (I stink at memorizing) Also I have the bible on MP3. I also have a bunch of songs. I use the old school WinAmp because it makes a tiny player. I then just add my music and bible to the same play list and hit random. I also have another that I had "hand crafted" to play one chapter of the Bible and then one song so the Bible will still be in order. (That took a while lol!)
@@f.k.b.16 Wow, that's so cool! Thanks for sharing that👍👍👍 I really suck at memorizing too; that's my weakest point. This is great, hope I can figure out how to do this.... I have an old mp3 player somewhere...👍😉
@@gohawks3571 No problem! I'm sure nearly any cell phone could do it too.
Amen 👍👍💕
Thank you for that.
Good word Allen Parr; great video, and very helpful. Also Thomas Jefferson famously had the miracles taken out of his Bible, and slave holders who preached knowingly scriptures out of context, and erased anything having to do with freedom out the Bible. Praying that God will continue to use you !
Another great lesson, Pastor Parr. When you mentioned “Textus Receptus,” I was thinking: “look at Pastor Parr teaching his audience about textual criticism…I love it.“
If I may (if you have not already done so in a prior video), you should take some time and walk your audience through an introduction to textual criticism so people can have a basic understand of how Bible translations differ based on their source material. I think you did something similar a while ago, but I don’t remember. That would be real cool.
Just a kind idea suggestion.
Be Blessed!
I wholeheartedly agree. Are you a fan of Dr Dan Wallace?
@@thomasherdle296 I love his work! I know all things NT Greek, NT textual criticism, exegesis, etc. are his thing. I do have a book that he co-wrote with his DTS colleague Darrell Bock: “Dethroning Jesus: Exposing Popular Culture’s Quest to Unseat the Biblical Christ.” Great read!
@@johntrevett2944 who? Not me. 😂😂. I hope that is not what you took from my comment. If so, you JUMPED to a big conclusion and owe me an apology. I flutter between NASB and NIV…depending on the day. 😂
@@eugenephillips481 have you read any of Dr Michael Heiser’s writings? I recently read Unseen Realm and I’m currently reading Angels.

Great video. Definitely going to help in future discussions.
I learn so much from your podcast. I'm really not one to mind other people's personal business, but I'm a little concerned you've lost alot of weight. Just hoping all is well.
This is an amazing video and I enjoyed every bit of it and am also excited to share my investment experience. I believe it will help a lot of people here that are confused on how to start the new year and be productive for the year in this hard times.
From my own point of view, you need to invest smartly, if you need the good things of life. so far i've made over $505k in raw profits from 6 months into the market from my diversified portfolio strategy and i believe anyone can do it you have the right strategy. mutual funds takes long time but investing smartly is the key for short term. Most of us tend to pay more attention to the shiniest position in the market to the cost of proper diversification.
My portfolio is very much diversified so it's not like i have a particular fund i invest in. plus i don't do that by myself. i follow the trades of *DIANA LYNN FUSCO* She is a popular broker you might have heard of. I can correctly say she's worth her salt as a financial adviser as her diversification skills are top notch/ I say because i see that in her results as my portfolio grows by averages of 10 to 15% on a monthly basis. unlike i can say for my IRA which has just been trudging along. my portfolio just mirrors what she trades and not just on some particular industries of my choosing.
Yeah exactly. My money stays right in my account. It's all programmatic. plus it's relatively much easier to set up and connect my accounts than creating a financial pan and drafting investment strategies myself. my account just mirrors her trades in realtime
Normal people buy in at high prices the stock market goes down, companies buy stocks back cheaper by introducing some "disaster" Stock rises after a disaster and the cycle repeats.. Having a good entry and exit strategy, will make succeed in the stock market.
I trade currencies but to be honest, I’m not making any reasonable profits. i would love to know more about your business adviser.
God also said he wouldn't blot out those names out of the book of life.
Praise God! ❤️❤️❤️.
Thank you again!
Jesus never once throughout the Bible preached that you are:
1. Saved by Grace alone
2. Save by Faith alone
3. Save by Grace through Faith alone
4. Saved by your Deeds alone
5. Once Saved, Always Saved
6. Salvation is Guaranteed
Salvation is a life long process which is never guaranteed, nor by grace, by faith or by deeds alone. Jesus’ own words confirm this and anyone who preaches scripture that contradicts Jesus’ own words is misinterpreting it or intentionally straying you away from the true faith.
Is it hard to enter God’s Kingdom? Yes!
“This amazed them. But Jesus said again, “Dear children, it is very hard to enter the Kingdom of God.” Mark 10:24
Conditions by which salvation can be achieved directly from Jesus.
1. “Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me.” John 14:6
2. “Jesus replied, “I assure you, no one can enter the Kingdom of God without being born of water and the Spirit. Humans can reproduce only human life, but the Holy Spirit gives birth to spiritual life. So don’t be surprised when I say, ‘You must be born again.” John 3:5-7
3. “Jesus called a little child to him and put the child among them. Then he said, “I tell you the truth, unless you turn from your sins and become like little children, you will never get into the Kingdom of Heaven.” Matthew 18:2-3
4. “No, and I tell you again that unless you repent, you will perish, too.” Luke 13:
5. “Everyone who acknowledges me publicly here on earth, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven. But everyone who denies me here on earth, I will also deny before my Father in heaven.”Matthew 10:32-33
6. “So I tell you, every sin and blasphemy can be forgiven-except blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, which will never be forgiven.” Matthew 12:31
7. “But I warn you-unless your righteousness is better than the righteousness of the teachers of religious law and the Pharisees, you will never enter the Kingdom of Heaven!” Matthew 5:20
8. “But Jesus told him, “Anyone who puts a hand to the plow and then looks back is not fit for the Kingdom of God.” Luke 9:62
9. “Then Jesus said to his disciples, “I tell you the truth, it is very hard for a rich person to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. I’ll say it again-it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the Kingdom of God!” Matthew 19:23-24
10. “So every tree that does not produce good fruit is chopped down and thrown into the fire. Yes, just as you can identify a tree by its fruit, so you can identify people by their actions.” Matthew 7:19-20
11. “But I say, if you are even angry with someone, you are subject to judgment! If you call someone an idiot, you are in danger of being brought before the court. And if you curse someone, you are in danger of the fires of hell.”Matthew 5:22
12. “If you forgive those who sin against you, your heavenly Father will forgive you. But if you refuse to forgive others, your Father will not forgive your sins.” Matthew 6:14-15
13. “If you love your father or mother more than you love me, you are not worthy of being mine; or if you love your son or daughter more than me, you are not worthy of being mine. If you refuse to take up your cross and follow me, you are not worthy of being mine. If you cling to your life, you will lose it; but if you give up your life for me, you will find it.” Matthew 10:37-39
14. “And I tell you this, you must give an account on judgment day for every idle word you speak. The words you say will either acquit you or condemn you.” Matthew 12:36-37
15. “But if you cause one of these little ones who trusts in me to fall into sin, it would be better for you to have a large millstone tied around your neck and be drowned in the depths of the sea.” Matthew 18:6
16. “So Jesus said again, “I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you cannot have eternal life within you. But anyone who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise that person at the last day.” John 6:53-54
Will many fail to enter God’s Kingdom? Yes! Even those who claimed to be Christians & followers of Jesus will fail because they refused to obey his laws & conditions by which salvation would be obtained!
“Someone asked him, “Lord, will only a few be saved?” He replied, “Work hard to enter the narrow door to God’s Kingdom, for many will try to enter but will fail.” Luke 13:23-24
“You can enter God’s Kingdom only through the narrow gate. The highway to hell is broad, and its gate is wide for the many who choose that way. But the gateway to life is very narrow and the road is difficult, and only a few ever find it.” Matthew 7:13-14
“Not everyone who calls out to me, ‘Lord! Lord!’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Only those who actually do the will of my Father in heaven will enter. On judgment day many will say to me, ‘Lord! Lord! We prophesied in your name and cast out demons in your name and performed many miracles in your name.’ But I will reply, ‘I never knew you. Get away from me, you who break God’s laws.” Matthew 7:21-23
“Just as the weeds are sorted out and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of the world. The Son of Man will send his angels, and they will remove from his Kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil. And the angels will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Then the righteous will shine like the sun in their Father’s Kingdom. Anyone with ears to hear should listen and understand!” Matthew 13:40-43
How do we determine if scripture is being misinterpreted? By simply going back to what Jesus said and letting his words show us the truth. Anyone who continues to preach scripture that contradicts his words should be avoided and exposed as wolfs.

Our sin is that we slowly begin to believe the words of others and even the apostles own words over Jesus as they’re distorted to justify a different path to salvation. We stubbornly cling to their words instead of his.
“The world’s sin is that it refuses to believe in me.” John 16:9
We can choose to leave God. God said “work out your salvation with fear and trembling” (Phil 2:12) and “he that endures till the end shall be saved.” (Matt 24:13)
It also talks about a dog returning back to his own vomit as well as it says “he that continues to sin after receiving the knowledge of truth there remains no sacrifice for sin” (Heb 10:26)
After you believe in Christ, God wants to sanctify you As he brings you to more truth and impresses you of sins to turn from and truth to follow and you ignore the spirit and chose your own path, you have chosen to separate yourself from God and chose your own way, then yes your name can be taken out of the lambs book of life.
Strive for holiness. Jesus can work in you to change you but he doesn’t take away your free will.
Don’t justify sin. If you fall while striving for obedience, grace covers that but it doesn’t cover willful rejection of truth and a willfully living sinful life.
Run this race faithfully with the strength of Jesus till the end, then you will be saved.
Once saved always saved is a lie from the Devil leading people to be lax in their striving for holiness and obtain victory over sin believing that they are locked in. Don’t believe the lie.
And neither of those verses are pertaining to salvation in the church age today,have you ever been taught how to Rightly Divide scripture, 2 Timothy 2:15, or have you read what Jesus Christ said in Matthew 15:24, or what our apostle Paul says to those of us in the church age in Romans 2:16?Intellect never replaces Holy Spirit discernment, as it stands now you are headed to the tribulation to be killed ,spreading a false faith plus works gospel,please get saved.
@Daughter of God,
Beautifully explained.
We must strive daily for holiness.
Exactly! Why would God condemn sinners to eternal hell, but let someone who was saved and believed for a hot minute and then decided nahhh, back to the old self and lived that way with no repentance or even guilt. It's like the hired servant who hid his talents. He was there for the job, knew of the boss too, just didn't do it! Was he rewarded? A true believer isn't just someone who just believes the gospel story, but "believes in it" . True followers do as he says. Not hearers only but doers! Satan believes, has seen, spoken to God face to face.
Yep, you best me to it. Hebrews 10 26

“Then he added, “Now go and learn the meaning of this Scripture: ‘I want you to show mercy, not offer sacrifices.’ For I have come to call not those who think they are righteous, but those who know they are sinners.” Matthew 9:13
Our sin is that we slowly begin to believe the words of others and even the apostles own words over Jesus as they’re distorted to justify a different path to salvation. We stubbornly cling to their words instead of his.
“The world’s sin is that it refuses to believe in me.” John 16:9

@@superquad7 ,who ever this is is copying and pasting this same false faith plus works comment to every comment, it’s a false convert, troll ,or demon.

Ephesians 2:8-10 in full context:
“For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.” Ephesians 2:8-10 NKJV
As you can see, Grace, Faith & Works are intertwined TOGETHER! You can’t be saved by Grace, Faith or Works alone separate from each other!
Can an individual lose God’s Grace?
“Pursue peace with all people, and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord: looking carefully lest anyone fall short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up cause trouble, and by this many become defiled; lest there be any fornicator or profane person like Esau, who for one morsel of food sold his birthright. For you know that afterward, when he wanted to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no place for repentance, though he sought it diligently with tears.” Hebrews 12:14-17 NKJV
Can an individual lose their faith?
“Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons,” 1 Timothy 4:1 NKJV
Can an individual lose being declared righteous by God?
“When I say to the righteous that he shall surely live, but he trusts in his own righteousness and commits iniquity, none of his righteous works shall be remembered; but because of the iniquity that he has committed, he shall die.” Ezekiel 33:13 NKJV
Can an individual lose being justified by God?
“I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.” Luke 18:14 NKJV
If an individual can lose God’s Grace, their Faith, their Righteousness & their justification based on their actions/Works, how can any real Christian then claim to have their salvation guaranteed before God’s judgement?
“Little children, let no one deceive you. He who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous. He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.” 1 John 3:7-8 NKJV
1 John 3:7-8 is clearly comparing righteousness & sins to works and it’s consequences.
If after knowing the truth (Jesus), his teachings which lead to righteousness through their good works and which have been prepared beforehand by God, people then turn around and continue to sin, will there be no consequences because they’ve been “saved by grace through Faith alone”?
“For if, after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, the latter end is worse for them than the beginning. For it would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than having known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered to them.” 2 Peter 2:20-21 NKJV
“Therefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; as obedient children, not conforming yourselves to the former lusts, as in your ignorance; but as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, because it is written, “Be holy, for I am holy.” And if you call on the Father, who without partiality judges according to each one’s work, conduct yourselves throughout the time of your stay here in fear;”1 Peter 1:13-17 NKJV
“Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure.”Philippians 2:12-13 NKJV
What happen to this easy way to salvation based on being “saved by Grace through Faith alone”?
This ignorance of self seeking salvation only leads to the piling of sins before God.
“But in accordance with your hardness and your impenitent heart you are treasuring up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God, who “will render to each one according to his deeds”: eternal life to those who by patient continuance in doing good seek for glory, honor, and immortality; but to those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness-indignation and wrath,” Romans 2:5-8 NKJV
The Apostle Judas clearly proves that “saved by Grace through Faith alone” is a false gospel based on scripture that’s been taken out of context. Judas was given God’s Grace when he was pick as an apostle and because of his Faith, was given the power to heal the sick and cast out demons directly by Jesus but it was his Works that condemn him! His refusal to abide by Jesus’ conditions!
God’s Grace for Judas:
“Now the names of the twelve apostles are these: first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother; Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus; Simon the Cananite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed Him.” Matthew 10:2-4 NKJV
Judas Faith:
“Then He called His twelve disciples together and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases.” Luke 9:1 NKJV
Judas Actions/Works:
“And truly the Son of Man goes as it has been determined, but woe to that man by whom He is betrayed!” Luke 22:22 NKJV
I’m not saying that Works is above God’s Grace nor our Faith but that it was Judas breaking that which God calls us to have TOGETHER along with not abiding by Jesus’ conditions which led to his downfall!
Judas wasn’t saved by God’s Grace alone, Judas wasn’t saved by his Faith alone and clearly Judas wasn’t save by his Works alone either!
Judas literally lost his salvation because of his WORKS! His betrayal of Jesus & his conditions!
Did Judas not declare Jesus Christ as his Lord & Savior?, was he not given God’s Grace?, did his Faith not lead him to have power given by Jesus? Then why wasn’t Judas saved? What makes certain Christians better than Judas? Wasn’t Judas picked directly by Jesus? What happen to this easy way to salvation based on being “saved by Grace through Faith alone”? Shouldn’t Judas have been saved?
Lukewarm “Christians” don’t even have the power to heal the sick or cast out demons but they claim to have enough “faith” to guarantee their salvation before God’s judgement!? Even Jesus dealt with those who claimed to have “faith” and were called out by him!
“So Jesus said to them, “Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.” Matthew 17:20 NKJV
Have ANY of these “Christians” who claim to be “save by Grace through Faith alone” been able to move a mountain!? Then how is it that they can claim to have their salvation guaranteed!? By guaranteeing their salvation, they take away God’s ability to pass judgement? Are they more powerful than God?
Should I be surprised that you believe a false gospel? No!
“For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers;” II Timothy 4:3 NKJV
Does this easy way to salvation “saved by Grace through Faith alone” sound like man’s glory for himself or for God’s glory?
“He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but He who seeks the glory of the One who sent Him is true, and no unrighteousness is in Him.”John 7:18 NKJV
Will many fail to enter God’s Kingdom?
“Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.” Matthew 7:13-14 NKJV
Jesus direct words:
“Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die, for I have not found your works perfect before God.” Revelation 3:2 NKJV
Does this sound like you can be “saved by Grace through Faith alone”? Does that sound like your works play no role in your salvation?
Wow, I had no idea about the error in the translation of "the book of life" (Rev. 22:2). The fact even though by the grace of God I'm familiar with the meaning of these verses, the fact that I still learned so much within the span of eight minutes is insane. Thank You, Jesus (thank you too Allen).
HahHahahahaha lol
And what is the relationship between the Book of Life and the tree of life?
@@christiananim6270 Good question!
There are no errors, there is a tree of life and a book of life
@@christiananim6270 the tree of life is a literal tree that was in the garden of eden , the tree of life is not the book of life, but to be able to partake of the three of life our names must be registered or written in the lambs book of life this is accomplished according to MATTHEW 4:4, REVALATION 14:12 ETC.
I disagree respectfully. Revelation 20:12-15 says exactly what the Book of Life is and what happens if you're not found in it. Revelation 3:5 says "he that overcometh" which is for the people that overcome so it's kind of conditional. Also it doesn't make sense to switch up the meaning of the "book of life" when it has been used the same way for the whole book. Now here's the other thing: Nothing that can separate us from the love of God I agree when it comes to outside forces but a person walking away and rejecting the gift, that is a whole separate issue. All the stuff that Paul listed was external forces.
You are missing a few things. You are not Rightly Dividing the word of truth,2 Timothy 2:15,the “ overcome” verse is not speaking of us in the church age today, it’s speaking of the tribulation saints beheaded in the tribulation for faith in Christ causing them to refuse the mark of the beast . Study Dispensations and Rightly Dividing the Bible,and it starts to make sense.
@@stephen1774 I disagree how's it not rightly diving the word of truth when the Bible directly says that the name that was not found in the book of life will go into the lake of fire? Further more, even though I respect Pastor Parr as a believer in Christ, I do not agree with him in this particular matter because of the events of what happened in the Bible as well as what it says directly in the book of Revelation as well as the book of Exodus and seeing what happened in different nations in 2nd Kings as well as in Genisis with Adam and Eve and what happened to Lucifer himself. The vocabulary that is used in certain instances like "backsliding" and "falling away" is also telling. Realize I'm not talking about a person who messes up a few times or is trying to get it right. I'm talking about a person who actively turns their heart away from God. We're acting like people can't do that. In short, If you can turn to God, you can turn your heart away from him. That's just free will.
Like I said I agree that no external force can separate a person from the love of God but that doesn't stop people choosing counter to the truth. If you're saying that they can't, logically speaking that's tantamount to saying that person has no free will after they get saved. That's just not true. I just think it's more nuanced than what he's saying according to both old and new testament, humans on individual level and a national level, and even on an angelic level. What's enacted in the Bible runs counter to the idea Pastor Parr speaking on.
@@jsjr2485 so the ultimate question is ,are we that are in the church age in the book of life,Yes because we can never lose salvation according to scripture,can those in other dispensations lose salvation under a faith plus works Gospel or a works Gospel,yes.In that specific verse it’s not speaking of the body of Christ.”Not Found” in the book of life, ( never saved).
@@stephen1774 The scripture again point to being blotted out the book of life which again, with respect to Pastor Parr, is mentioned in Exodus as well as the Revelation. Which he addressed as best he could but only focused on "the book of life" as a phrase and not as a logical instantiation. Whether it is tree of life or book of life, the application for the phrase remains the same and you get a sense of that from all the other chapters of Revelation and even the words that follow saying "out of the holy city". Even the study Bible mentions tree of life in that particular verse in the description of the verse in KJV. So the phrase is a non issue to me.
The application is what is important and the Bible suggests that they won't make it to the new Jerusalem which is after the rapture according the same source that Pastor Parr used. Meaning, Heaven on Earth after the war is over Aka salvation. But again, he never addressed the fact they were in the book/tree of life to begin with. How can you take away something unless it was there? The problem is that logical conclusion of stating "you can't lose your salvation" has implications that I would say are dangerous. If there is no way to lose your salvation then there is no amount of sin that keeps you from getting into Heaven in regards to turning your back on God and dying in a backslidden state. Why would Paul have to die daily if he was already dead to sin?Because we are in a constant war flesh. Again this willfully turning your heart away from God over a period of time. Now if you don't believe in backsliding or turning your back on God, then you have to contend with the logical impetus of why we needed Jesus in the first place. You logically couldn't have a reconciliation back to God if we were never with God in the first place. Satan got kicked out of Heaven because of his heart , he started off with God. Adam and Eve started off with God. Isreal started off with God fell away came back (might've been a few times). Solomon fell away came back, the story of the prodigal son fell away came back. Bible talks about going astray and great falling away. These things could not happen for people who wasnt walking with God at some point in time.
Some people will say that a person was never saved to begin with. I disagree. People override their concious all the time, have traumatic experiences and other reasons why they walk away. But you know what the kicker is? When we say lose salvation people act they can lose its not like we're saying permanently. Now if you die in that state that'd a whole other issue. But generally speaking, as long as that person is alive they always have a chance to come back. I don't why explaining that is seen as false doctrine or incorrect when the Bible demonstrates and says it to be so on every level there is.
Thank you for this information. I preached the same topic on Monday.
I was just notified about this video at 8:40am PDT and the video is 8:40.
Honestly, anytime I listen to messages on whether Salvation can be lost or not I get bothered.
A dramatic example of the possibility of losing salvation is found in the book of Revelation.
John explains his vision of the 7 lampstands and the 7 stars. (Rev 1:20).
John received a message from Christ for the 7 churches at that time. These were gatherings of believers.
Each message contained encouragement and warnings. The encouragements were positive comments on these churches' faithfulness, perseverance, service and love.
The warnings, however, were all the same:
The churches must endure, overcome and remain faithful until death or Jesus' return in order to receive the reward which is described in different ways.
John writes that THEY MUST ENDURE TO THE END in order to:
EAT OF THE TREE OF LIFE
NOT TO BE HURT BY THE 2ND DEATH (ETERNAL DAMNATION),
RECEIVE THE HIDDEN MANNA, THE WHITE STONE OR THE NEW NAME.
These are all different ways of saying eternal life or the eternal reward, and all SPECIFICALLY refer to the reward of those who endure until the end.
The 2nd part is that all those who do not do this will not receive this reward-- Revelation 2:5
So what should we learn from these passages?
We should learn that the Saved, by their conscious faithfulness maintain their salvation. We should guard it jealously. If individuals were chosen in advance by God for salvation and could never be lost once they were saved, there would be no need for these warnings.
If there is no possibility that once saved the Christian could never lose that salvation, why would the Holy spirit through the inspired writer give us the following verses:
(a) Galatians 5:1-4 " It was for freedom that Christ set us free, therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery... Galatians 5:4-You have been severed from Christ, you who are seeking to be justified by Law; you have fallen from grace. (IT IS POSSIBLE TO FALL AWAY)
(b). Also, 2 Peter 2:17-22
Verse 21 says "It would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than to have known it and then to TURN THEIR BACKS on the sacred command that was passed on to them"
(c). Hebrews 6:6-8. BELIEVERS CAN FALL AWAY.
(d). James 1:12, 21-23
Once more, if there is no possibility that once saved the Christian could never lose that salvation, these verses would not have been necessary unless we want to say that the writers didn't know what they were writing.
Our Salvation will only be completed after death or at Christ's coming. Luke 21:28 and Romans 13:11).
1 Corinthians 10:12- Therefore let anyone who thinks he is standing firm take heed lest he falls.
Peace!!!
One saved in the church age today can never lose salvation, 2 Timothy 2:15” Rightly Divide the word of truth . Study dispensations.
@@stephen1774 amen, this person thinks the whole Bible applies to him. Typical modern Christianity …. Who lost touch how to rightly divide the word of truth (2 Timothy 2:15)
Looks like a copy And paste from his favorite apostate pastor
@@Kevin-nr9hp Amen, the Bible is written for all of us ,not each part is about us in the church age.The most common error I see here is people don’t know how to Rightly divide 2 Timothy 2:15 and when I post that they get triggered because they don’t understand that one simple thing, also most do not understand dispensations, this is what makes the Bible make sense.
@@stephen1774 Dispensational Christianity? So, you're telling me what applied to pre-church epoch doesn't apply to us in this day? I hope you won't tell me Abraham's blessings are yours and you won't tell me either that you pay tithes because those happened in the pre-church dispensation. Remember there are no Levitical priests to receive tithes in this current epoch.
Another verse confirms this also: My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. John 10:27 God knows ALREADY who are in his book of life or tree of life. You can be part of this if you are born again and accept Jesus into your life.
Thank you
You are da best and thank you sir!!!!
It’s impossible for your name to be erased. Once Saved always saved
That's false doctrine
This is wrong
@@smjay3801 Yeah the video is.
Isnt it so that if you turn from God you were never saved in the first place? So technically you cant removed being saved for if you truly are you will never turn from God. If you are wrongfully saved then you can turn but then you were never truly saved.
THE VERSE LITERALLY TELLS YOU HOW IT CAN BE ERASED. stop picking and choosing what scripture you believe
There is a different understanding between "the book of life" and "the three of life".. Thank You brother Allen for the insight..
TREE
Genesis 3:22'- 24 says about the Tree of Life
Good vid
I recently became aware of this topic, and so far with my research I'm coming to the same conclusion as what you've presented. Thank you.
The only thing I could contribute to your video is to draw attention to the fact that the warning in Revelation isn't applicable to the entire Bible, but is limited solely and specifically to the book of Revelation.
Shalom aleichem
I believe that salvation is not merely a ticket to heaven but a RELATIONSHIP with Jesus. Therefore if a person chooses to abandon or spiritually "divorce" the Lord, we have the free will to do so and will no longer be saved. Jesus said "THIS is eternal life: that they should know You, the one true God, and Jesus whom You have sent." He also said that many will come to Him saying Lord Lord but He will answer "I never KNEW you" and they'll be cast into hell. There will be many who said a sinners prayer and might have had faith, but the devil snatched it away or the cares of this life strangled out their faith (parable of the sower).
So yes, one CAN lose his salvation because one CAN forsake his relationship with Jesus
Amen! I agree. The key in the scripture is for the "one who conquers" or the "one who endures" to the end. If we forsake a relationship with Jesus after saying "yes" to Him, then we cannot receive the crown in the end. But for the believer who endures and conquers to the end, we cannot be snatched away and will receive the crown.
Agreed. I have seen Christians who have abandoned the Christian faith, seduced by wealth, other religions. How does Allen place this category of persons. The idea of picking a verse\verses and ignore other parts that says otherwise still baffles me. I have seen xtians who have left the faith even began attacking the Christan faith, and we keep saying someone CANNOT lose salvation. Then, what do you call that
I know your comment is debatable but I agree. Actually since it is said that everyone has free will I don`t think free will stops when a person becomes a christian and some of them may turn away from the faith for whatever reason...... I know some will say `well they were never saved to begin with `, but really only God knows.
@@christhomas5761 precisely! The people I have watched fall away legitimately loved Jesus at one point but now have been seduced by sin and false doctrines. I feel like it's a cop-out answer when Calvinists say the person must not have been saved in the first place

Proverbs 20:13
Love not sleep, lest thou come to poverty; open thine eyes, and thou shalt be satisfied with bread.
Just a doubt, What if that specific verse in Revelation is said in relation to Revelation only and not the whole Bible
The statement was in the end of the whole book not at the end of any of the others.
@@Fernando-qs7bl End of the whole book only because Revelation happened to be at the end of the Bible right
Thank you Allen you always help me understand the Word of GOD and thank you for sharing blessings to you and your family and ministry
Jesus never once throughout the Bible preached that you are:
1. Saved by Grace alone
2. Save by Faith alone
3. Save by Grace through Faith alone
4. Saved by your Deeds alone
5. Once Saved, Always Saved
6. Salvation is Guaranteed
Salvation is a life long process which is never guaranteed, nor by grace, by faith or by deeds alone. Jesus’ own words confirm this and anyone who preaches scripture that contradicts Jesus’ own words is misinterpreting it or intentionally straying you away from the true faith.
Is it hard to enter God’s Kingdom? Yes!
“This amazed them. But Jesus said again, “Dear children, it is very hard to enter the Kingdom of God.” Mark 10:24
Conditions by which salvation can be achieved directly from Jesus.
1. “Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me.” John 14:6
2. “Jesus replied, “I assure you, no one can enter the Kingdom of God without being born of water and the Spirit. Humans can reproduce only human life, but the Holy Spirit gives birth to spiritual life. So don’t be surprised when I say, ‘You must be born again.” John 3:5-7
3. “Jesus called a little child to him and put the child among them. Then he said, “I tell you the truth, unless you turn from your sins and become like little children, you will never get into the Kingdom of Heaven.” Matthew 18:2-3
4. “No, and I tell you again that unless you repent, you will perish, too.” Luke 13:
5. “Everyone who acknowledges me publicly here on earth, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven. But everyone who denies me here on earth, I will also deny before my Father in heaven.”Matthew 10:32-33
6. “So I tell you, every sin and blasphemy can be forgiven-except blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, which will never be forgiven.” Matthew 12:31
7. “But I warn you-unless your righteousness is better than the righteousness of the teachers of religious law and the Pharisees, you will never enter the Kingdom of Heaven!” Matthew 5:20
8. “But Jesus told him, “Anyone who puts a hand to the plow and then looks back is not fit for the Kingdom of God.” Luke 9:62
9. “Then Jesus said to his disciples, “I tell you the truth, it is very hard for a rich person to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. I’ll say it again-it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the Kingdom of God!” Matthew 19:23-24
10. “So every tree that does not produce good fruit is chopped down and thrown into the fire. Yes, just as you can identify a tree by its fruit, so you can identify people by their actions.” Matthew 7:19-20
11. “But I say, if you are even angry with someone, you are subject to judgment! If you call someone an idiot, you are in danger of being brought before the court. And if you curse someone, you are in danger of the fires of hell.”Matthew 5:22
12. “If you forgive those who sin against you, your heavenly Father will forgive you. But if you refuse to forgive others, your Father will not forgive your sins.” Matthew 6:14-15
13. “If you love your father or mother more than you love me, you are not worthy of being mine; or if you love your son or daughter more than me, you are not worthy of being mine. If you refuse to take up your cross and follow me, you are not worthy of being mine. If you cling to your life, you will lose it; but if you give up your life for me, you will find it.” Matthew 10:37-39
14. “And I tell you this, you must give an account on judgment day for every idle word you speak. The words you say will either acquit you or condemn you.” Matthew 12:36-37
15. “But if you cause one of these little ones who trusts in me to fall into sin, it would be better for you to have a large millstone tied around your neck and be drowned in the depths of the sea.” Matthew 18:6
16. “So Jesus said again, “I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you cannot have eternal life within you. But anyone who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise that person at the last day.” John 6:53-54
Will many fail to enter God’s Kingdom? Yes! Even those who claimed to be Christians & followers of Jesus will fail because they refused to obey his laws & conditions by which salvation would be obtained!
“Someone asked him, “Lord, will only a few be saved?” He replied, “Work hard to enter the narrow door to God’s Kingdom, for many will try to enter but will fail.” Luke 13:23-24
“You can enter God’s Kingdom only through the narrow gate. The highway to hell is broad, and its gate is wide for the many who choose that way. But the gateway to life is very narrow and the road is difficult, and only a few ever find it.” Matthew 7:13-14
“Not everyone who calls out to me, ‘Lord! Lord!’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Only those who actually do the will of my Father in heaven will enter. On judgment day many will say to me, ‘Lord! Lord! We prophesied in your name and cast out demons in your name and performed many miracles in your name.’ But I will reply, ‘I never knew you. Get away from me, you who break God’s laws.” Matthew 7:21-23
“Just as the weeds are sorted out and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of the world. The Son of Man will send his angels, and they will remove from his Kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil. And the angels will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Then the righteous will shine like the sun in their Father’s Kingdom. Anyone with ears to hear should listen and understand!” Matthew 13:40-43
How do we determine if scripture is being misinterpreted? By simply going back to what Jesus said and letting his words show us the truth. Anyone who continues to preach scripture that contradicts his words should be avoided and exposed as wolfs.
“Jesus said to the people who believed in him, “You are truly my disciples if you remain faithful to my teachings. And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” John 8:31-32
Don’t forget, the Devil was an angel and even quoted scripture when he tempted Jesus but it was Jesus’ full understanding of scripture that led him to quote scripture back to the devil in order to reveal God’s truth. This is why scripture (God’s Words) is also important on our journey.
“But Jesus told him, “No! The Scriptures say, ‘People do not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.” Matthew 4:4
“Get out of here, Satan,” Jesus told him. “For the Scriptures say, ‘You must worship the Lord your God and serve only him.” Matthew 4:10
“Beware of false prophets who come disguised as harmless sheep but are really vicious wolves.” Matthew 7:15
Did people misinterpret scripture in the past? Yes! Even Jesus had to correct them.
“Jesus replied, “Your mistake is that you don’t know the Scriptures, and you don’t know the power of God.” Matthew 22:29
“Then he added, “Now go and learn the meaning of this Scripture: ‘I want you to show mercy, not offer sacrifices.’ For I have come to call not those who think they are righteous, but those who know they are sinners.” Matthew 9:13
Our sin is that we slowly begin to believe the words of others and even the apostles own words over Jesus as they’re distorted to justify a different path to salvation. We stubbornly cling to their words instead of his.
“The world’s sin is that it refuses to believe in me.” John 16:9
Thanks!
Right. Chapters, and verses, were added to the collection of writings, that we now call the Bible, years later, so we would be able to find things faster, and easier. One probably should not read just a single "verse", but make sure you read the surrounding verses to get the context of the meaning. Also, the Bible says it interprets itself, so right again, another part of the Bible can shed some light on the chapter and verse you are looking at, and make the context more clear.
Praise God. God Bless in Jesus Christ Name Amen.

It is interesting to learn about thif confusing topic. I have been trying to serve God for the past 5 years. The church I was going teaches that we can loose salvation. Is that we can loose it. Every time the Pastor preach about it, I have this uncomfortable feeling in my heart, I ask my self, " how can that be, You promise eternal life? Or perhaps Is eternal until I mess up. God help me understand. Thanks for your channel Pastor Parr.

You are adding to and YOU ARE NOT GOD!!! You are putting ingredients together and you have NOT seen the BOOK OF LIFE!!! God is the SAME yesterday today and Forevermore!!! Man’s translation is NOT GOD’s Word!
putting ingredients together or Bible verse with Bible is basic Bible knowledge and interpretation. no 2 Bible verses contradict but instead they work in Harmony once you find the context
There is NOTHING BASIC ABOUT GOD NOR THE BIBLE!!! God is omnipotent and so is his word do not add to Nor take away from it!
