Another Gospel-Not

Galatians 1:1-12 Paul, an apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead;) And all the brethren which are with me, unto the churches of Galatia: Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father: To whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. But though we, or an angel from Heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ. But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man. For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.

Our reference names another gospel: which is not another.  People claim that there is another way to go to God, and say that it is another gospel.  However, our reference also tells us that their claim is a lie because it is not another.  Since it is a lie, it is from Satan who is the father of lies  (John 8:44).  Further, our reference tells us that this lie would pervert the gospel of Christ.  In addition, our reference tells us that this perverted lie is designed to please men  while 1Corinthians 2:14 says But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.  If a doctrine pleases the natural man  then it is not of God.  Look at our reference in Galatians where we read if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.  If it pleases our flesh then it is not God's truth.  If it makes excuses for our continuing to sin, it is part of the false so-called gospel which is from Satan.  In addition, God saved us so that we could serve Him.  Therefore, anything which makes excuses for our refusing to serve God is part of the false so-called gospel which is from Satan.

There are two doctrines which God's people try to hold onto that are part of this false so-called gospel.  If we continue to believe these lies we will help Satan, and fight against God.  If you are truly saved then you agreed to obey God when you accepted Him as your Lord.  That means that we must give up believing these lies which go against the commandments of the Bible.

The first of these lies is the doctrine that God understands  and accepts our refusal to stop sinning.  According to Malachi 3:6 and Hebrews 13:8 God does not change.  All throughout the Bible we read that God rewards obedience and punishes disobedience.  Yet people believe that God will change at the judgment seat of Christ.  People who condemn others that change the Bible insist that judgment  is pronounces bema.  They then claim that ancient bema seat  judgments did not include death when Caesar pointed his thumb down.  However, the greatest error is believing the claim that the Bible lies when 2Corinthians 5:10-11 says that saved people in Heaven at the judgment seat of Christ will receive bad  and the terror of the Lord.  People believe this lie because they want to believe that there are no tears in Heaven.  However, the truth is that SOME saved people in Heaven will have tears for more than 1,000 yearss.  I will explain this more in a minute but we need to understand that no tears in Heaven  is a LIE.

The second doctrine from Communism and it claims that we will all get a mansion in Heaven.  This is based upon John 14:2 which says: In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.  The lie claims that the words mansion  and place  are the same.  However, that claim denies the truth from Jesus Christ that Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God  (Deuteronomy 8:3; Matthew 4:4; Luke 4:4).  The truth is that there are many mansions  in the Philippines and every Filipino has a place  to sleep but most Filipinos do NOT have a mansion.  The reality that Filipinos live in matches the statement of Jesus Christ even while proving that the claim that everyone will get a mansion  is a lie.  Hebrews 6:10 says: For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.  If we all get a mansion then God is unrighteous  because God forgets the work and labour of love  done by those who serve Him.  Communism is a lie from Satan and the claim that we will all get a mansion  is a lie from Communism.  The Bible truth is the law of sowing and reaping.  If you want to reap a lot in Heaven then you must sow a lot of work in this life.  If you sow little work in this life then you reap little blessings in Heaven.  If you are saved and refuse to do God's work then you will be a pauper for eternity and have 1,000 yearss of tears.

With that said, we need to look at a couple of teachings from Jesus Christ which are often taught wrongly.  If we look at what Jesus Christ truly said then we will see God's truth.

Luke 19:12-30 says: He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return. And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come. But his citizens hated him, and sent a message after him, saying, We will not have this man to reign over us. And it came to pass, that when he was returned, having received the kingdom, then he commanded these servants to be called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading. Then came the first, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds. And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities. And the second came, saying, Lord, thy pound hath gained five pounds. And he said likewise to him, Be thou also over five cities. And another came, saying, Lord, behold, here is thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin: For I feared thee, because thou art an austere man: thou takest up that thou layedst not down, and reapest that thou didst not sow.  And he saith unto him, Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked servant. Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking up that I laid not down, and reaping that I did not sow: Wherefore then gavest not thou my money into the bank, that at my coming I might have required mine own with usury? And he said unto them that stood by, Take from him the pound, and give it to him that hath ten pounds. (And they said unto him, Lord, he hath ten pounds.) For I say unto you, That unto every one which hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even that he hath shall be taken away from him. But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me

• The seven servants who did not return even the talent were killed.  They symbolically represent the lost who suffer the second death,  which is eternity in the Lake of Fire.  The lost refuse to even honor God as God.
• The other three, including the one who lost his single pound went to Heaven.
• All received rewards and authority based upon how much profit that they returned.  Notice that all started with the same amount so the difference in reward is directly related to the difference in profit returned.
• The one who went to Heaven but did not return a profit to his lord was a pauper.  There will be people in Heaven who are paupers for eternity.

Matthew 25:14-30 says: For the kingdom of Heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods. And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey. Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents. And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two. But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money. After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them. And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more. His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord. He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents beside them. His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord. Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed: And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine. His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed: Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury. Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents. For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath. And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth

• Notice the parallels with the prior parable.  In both parables people who went to Heaven received variable reward based upon the amount of profit returned to God.  In both cases the unprofitable servant  suffered for his refusal to return a profit.
• In the first parable seven were killed, which represents people who go to Hell.  In both cases three went to Heaven including the unprofitable servant.
• In both parables the unprofitable servant  suffered loss but in the second parable we are told more because Jesus Christ said that the unprofitable servant  would be on outer darkness  where there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
• The word outer  means 'more to the outside' but includes them in the main group.  People who are not in the room are outside,  not in the outer  part of this group.  People who are not in Heaven are outside,  not in the outer  part of the saved who are in Heaven.
• Please also see the Message called Treasure in Heaven.

Illustrate the difference.

2Corinthians 5:10-11 tells us that some saved people in Heaven, at the judgment seat of Christ,  will receive bad  and the terror of the Lord.  When it says knowing therefore'we persuade men,  it is telling us to do the 'Great Commission' in order to avoid receiving bad  and the terror of the Lord.  When it says but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences,  it is telling us that people need to see a changed life in us which is manifest  to God and men.  Pastor Nono has a plan for the people in this Mission to do the 'Great Commission' and receive God's blessings instead of God's punishment.  Saved people who refuse to submit to their God given pastor and be involved in doing the 'Great Commission' are daring God to give them 1,000 yearss of tears.  However, as bad as that is, the lost are going to be the ones in the lake of Fire  for eternity.  If you have not accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Lord, and agreed to obey Him, then that is where you are heading.  Romans 10:13 says: For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.  We must agree to trust His power and authority to save us but He requires us to accept Him as our personal Lord in a relationship that never ends or He refuses to save us.
