HOW NARROW is the way to heaven if ONLY 2.5% of people were going through it 44 years ago, before the internet and even before “once saved always saved” or “only believe” was being taught in almost all churches — the situation today?

Jesus said: “Enter in by the *NARROW GATE*; for WIDE is the GATE and BROAD is the way that leads to DESTRUCTION, and MANY are those who enter in by it. How NARROW is the GATE, and RESTRICTED is the way that leads to life! FEW are those who find it.

In 1979, a Baptist pastor, Howard Pittman actually DIED on his way to the hospital, and was told at the gates of heaven that only 2.5% of the people in the world were entering heaven.

How Many Will Be in Heaven? How Many Find the WAY? Only 1 in 40 — 2.5%!?!!

I definitely don’t agree with Michael Brown on ‘Christian’ Zionism*, and he’s been too loose on salvation. But this is mostly good, after he gets going. My first comment below corrects one thing he said.

Michael Brown starts this statement by quoting Romans 6:1-2:

“‘What shall we say then, SHALL WE GO ON SINNING so that grace may increase? BY NO MEANS! We died to sin. HOW CAN WE LIVE IN IT ANY LONGER?’

OH! THIS IS A SPIRITUAL REALITY. YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE A SLAVE TO SIN. In Jesus, you don’t have to be a slave to sin. It’s a lie. It’s a lie that your mind is telling you. It’s a lie that church tradition has told you. It’s a lie that the world tells you. It’s a lie that the Devil himself tells you. In Jesus, you know longer have to be a slave to sin.”

POP from CA had an abusive father. According to Pop, his mother protected him from his father and he is having a hard time with the concept of forgiving his father.

Is The Didache a blueprint for the way churches should be?

This is one of the writings of “the early Christian fathers” that I especially liked. It’s big on unity!

What if we compare The Didache to what is practiced in today’s ‘churches?’ 

But every Lord’s day gather yourselves together, and break bread, and give thanksgiving after having confessed your transgressions, that your sacrifice may be pure. But let no one who is at odds with his fellow come together with you, until they be reconciled, that your sacrifice may not be profaned.

Is there even one ‘church’ in America that requires reconciliation? How many pastors have fully reconciled so they’re qualified to lead?

The Didache mentions prophets being a common leadership ministry in the late first century church (like Ephesians 4:11). Where are they in today’s churches?

The Didache also has “the way of death” list that is similar to Paul’s “will not inherit the Kingdom” list in Galatians 5.

WHY PORN IS MORE HARMFUL THAN EVER BEFORE
May 18, 2016

Like most large cultural shifts, nothing happened overnight, but some wheels were already turning back in 1953, the year Hugh Hefner published the first copy of Playboy.

…to maximize sales, he had to change porn’s image; instead of being thought of as something your friend’s creepy uncle might have, porn needed to look mainstream. To do that, Hefner put pornographic photos next to essays and articles written by respected authors. In Playboy, porn looked like a gentleman’s pursuit.

The next big shift happened in the 1980s, when VCRs made it possible for people to watch movies at home. [5] For porn users, that meant that instead of having to go to seedy movie theaters on the wrong side of town, all they had to do was go to the back room at their local movie rental place. Sure, they still had to go out to find it, but porn was suddenly a lot more accessible.

And then the Internet changed everything. [6]

… According to a 2004 study of Internet traffic in May of that year, porn sites were visited three times more often than Google, Yahoo!, and MSN Search combined. [9]

And porn hasn’t stayed behind the computer screen. … Popular video games feature full nudity. [12] Snowboards marketed to teens are plastered with images of porn stars. [13] Even children’s toys have become more sexualized. [14]

Television shows and movies have been impacted, too, as producers and writers have upped the ante with more and more graphic content to keep the attention of audiences accustomed to porn. [15] Between 1998 and 2005, the number of sex scenes on American TV shows nearly doubled. [16] And it’s not just happening on adult programs. In a study conducted in 2004 and 2005, 70% of the 20 TV shows most often watched by teens included sexual content and nearly half showed sexual behavior. [17]

And the more our society becomes sexually saturated, the more porn makers pump out harder and harder material to make sure they stay on the cutting edge. [18] It’s all about novelty, and creating content that is increasingly more hardcore. …

The comparatively tame softcore pictures of yesteryear … now show up on mainstream media all day long, in the pornification of everything, including television, rock videos, soap operas, advertisements, and so on.” [19] …

As porn’s availability has risen, so have its devastating effects on its users, their relationships, and society at large. [21] As therapist John Woods recently wrote, pornography addiction “is no longer just a private problem. It is a public health problem.” [22]

[youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ArqRiIBh2p8]Why I Christian died and went to hell – Testimony

 | finalcall07 | Uploaded on Oct 24, 2011

“On July 28th, 1998 I had a heart attack, I died and I found myself on my way to hell. The Lord Jesus had mercy on me and He let me come back. I was at that stage a ‘saved’ man, I had accepted the Lord Jesus as my Lord and Savior, I was baptized in water, I was baptized in the Holy Spirit, I knew the voice of the Lord and He was speaking to me. But that morning I woke up with a terrible pain in my chest and I died. I found myself going down a deep black hole and I knew I was on my way to hell. I pleaded with the Lord Jesus to let me come back. He let me come back when I pleaded and asked and said:”Lord, let me go and tell the world, let me tell people, that this is real.”

Many people have asked me why it was that I was on my way to hell even though I was ‘saved.’ Dear friends, the reason is that I was serving God, MY WAY. I was an above average Christian.. I was a serious Christian. I was a person who knew the voice of the Lord Jesus, but I was serving the Lord MY WAY. I was not fruitful. The only way that we can be fruitful is if we serve Jesus as disciples, HIS WAY, not my way, HIS WAY.

Knowing the voice of the Lord is one thing but following Him, waiting on Him, serving Him as Master, that is another thing and that is what He requires of us. We cannot serve Jesus our way. He is not interested in that. We cannot bear fruit if we serve Him our way.

I tried to reconcile being a Christian with being a business man, with living a “normal” life, like all the other Christians and I was under the impression that I was doing very well, but by God’s standard I came short, it wasn’t good enough, I was on my way to hell. It was the biggest fright I ever had in my life and since that day I have never been at ease again with Jesus because I fear Him, because I know that He has got ONE STANDARD, friends, and that is HIS WAY.

We have got to seek Him, we have got to listen to His voice. What I think does not matter. My opinion, does not count. All that matters is Jesus. Is He pleased with me, is He satisfied with me? Am I obedient to Him? Am I doing what He wants me to do? Am I a disciple? Am I truly pleasing to Him?

Dear friends we can only be fruitful and pleasing to Jesus if we serve Him as LORD, as MASTER, if we wait on Him and if we DO what He TELLS us to do. I got to know Jesus. I love Him, I fear Him, I respect Him. I will die again. I will leave this body, but then I want to be ready. I want to be going UP, not DOWN and that is why I am following Jesus. I am working for His Kingdom.

God’s standard is not our standard, my friends. Jesus wants TOTAL, TOTAL devotion. He is calling you. Make sure that when your time comes, that you don’t find yourself going down the deep black hole.  May Jesus bless you.

Mt. 7:21 Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ *will ENTER into the Kingdom of Heaven*; but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.

John 10:27-28 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. I give eternal life to them. They will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.

1 John 4:16-17 We know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love, and he who remains in love remains in God, and God remains in him. In this, love has been made perfect among us, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment, because as he is, even so are we in this world.

Romans 8:14 “For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.”

Gal. 5:24 “THOSE WHO BELONG TO CHRIST have crucified the flesh with its passions and lusts.”

Hebrews 12:14 “Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord.”

How Many Will Be in Heaven? How Many are Finding the WAY? Only 1 in 40 — 2.5%?!! [Howard Pittman was told this 2.5% figure at the gate of heaven 30 years ago (having actually died on the way to the hospital), before once-saved-always-saved was taught almost everywhere (including China), before internet porn even existed, before the low-cut-top epidemic hit America — when more people were honest, and hate and anger wasn’t off the charts. So the figure may be less than 2.5% now. We can’t mess around.]

Who-Goes-To-Heaven Scriptures — Narrow is the Way | Who are the Children of God? — “There is therefore now *no condemnation* to those who are IN CHRIST Jesus, who don’t WALK according to the flesh, but ACCORDING TO THE SPIRIT.”

No Condemnation NOW so No Condemnation when we meet Jesus face to FACE — Hearts pure, smiling so big!!! FREEeeeeeeee———–DOM!!!!!!! [The simple, bottom line: Romans 8:1-17]

“Throughout your life people will make you mad, disrespect you and treat you badly. Let God deal with the things they do, cause hate in your heart will consume you too.”

“Sin may seem harmless when Satan tries to sell it to us. But it will soon grow into a devouring monster that will eventually kill us, unless we, by the Holy Spirit, kill it first.”

without which no man shall see the Lord.”

“Our eyes are full of sawdust. We can’t see clearly to see the kingdom.

I got this word from God for a church founder in Anchorage, 25 years ago, while getting ready to discuss with the then, head pastor what I had recently been shown about why God couldn’t move in our church.

It says a lot about what needs to happen for real Christianity and full revival to occur. And this is also a salvation issue: “There is therefore now *no condemnation* to those who are IN CHRIST Jesus, who don’t WALK according to the flesh, but ACCORDING TO THE SPIRIT.” (Romans 8:1)

This is also the prophecy that inspired my NOHATE license plate:

WHY “CHRISTIAN” ZIONISM IS A CULT by Ted Pike — God’s covenants require obedience • God does have a land contract with the physical, believing Jewish people (Gen. 15:13-21) which will be fulfilled when a remnant of Jews repents at Christ’s coming • Cults do not produce fruits of wisdom, love, righteousness and justice but lead their followers into service of evil.

From: We Hold These Truths

This film exposes what should be three, obvious truths:

1. The US has a war based economy that is dependent upon the support for its many wars by Christians under the influence of Christian Zionism.

2. Christian Zionism is a corruption of traditional Christianity that has been promoted for just over 100 years, through the Scofield Reference Bible.

3. The Palestinians have been under a brutal military occupation by Israel since 1967.
