Those pitiable folks unaware of God's goal to be all and all and the necessity of temporary evil to contrast eternal good, try to find ways to relieve God of responsibility for anything darker than lollipops and lilac bushes. They find their opportunity in Ezekiel, chapter 28. This chapter chronicles the rise and fall from glory of an historical personage known as "the prince of Tyrus." (He is called this in Scripture because this is his name and title.) Christian expositors, however, see their opportunity to relieve God of what they believe would be a mistake of eternal proportions: Creating Satan evil on purpose. So what do they do? They turn "the prince of Tyrus" into "Satan." By what authority do they do this? Their own. What linguistic cue in the original Hebrew supports their contention? There isn't one. How many brain cells do these Christian expositors have? About nine—between them. In order to trap these expositors in their own unbelief, God has baited this account with luscious little "let's-twist-Scripture-for-our-own-selfish-designs" opportunities. One opportunity is when the prince of Tyrus is called "perfect." Another is when he is said to have been created. But probably the fattest worm on the hook is when the King James version puts the prince of Tyrus in the Garden of Eden Huh? Yeah. I know. Watch as the Christian expositors step in it—and thank God that it's not you.

The baseline belief of most theologians (and almost all Christians) is eternal torment. Thus, any rumination on the topic of evil is skewed from the start. Rather than, "Let's see what the Bible has to say about evil," the thinking becomes, "We must distance God as far as we can from evil." The cattle prod herding so-called scholars in this direction is the necessity of relieving God of any responsibility for the eternal torture of His enemies. "We can't make God responsible for this nightmare," goes the thinking, "so let's transfer the responsibility for salvation from divine shoulders to human hands. If anyone goes to hell, it will then be his or her own stupid fault." The hundreds of verses disproving human free will? "Never mind them," say the theologians. "We'll sweep them under a rug the size of a football stadium and call it 'a mystery.'" Satan posed a problem, however. Not directly, but rather those pesky Scripture verses showing God creating him purposely as an adversary. The seminary graduates once again found themselves up against the assumed truth of eternal torment. Since Satan was, in their skewed brains, the president of hell and the being responsible for leading people there, he could not be seen as a vessel of dishonor purposely marred in the hands of the Potter. What to do? How to fix it? The theologians found two Scripture passages detailing the fall from glory of two men, namely, the Prince of Tyrus (Ezekiel chapter 28) and the king of Babylon (Isaiah, chapter 14). Couldn't these passages be manipulated to teach the fall of Satan? Couldn't it be said that "Prince of Tyrus" and "King of Babylon" were secret titles of Satan? There were enough twistable bits in the contexts to render the switch not only possible but palatable—at least to malleable minds. So that's what the God-wreckers did. And thus the "fall of Satan" became Christian lore—a fable advertised as fact—reducing the Deity to a spectator in His own universe Who (pity Him), shakes His head (and probably twists the ends of His beard) as His creatures run afoul of Him before His very eyes. (The creatures become the potter and God becomes the clay). This version of God (it's a caricature of the true) is helpless to stop it, for no one—not even the true God—can interfere with free wills that are, by definition, immune to influence.

Can you imagine the horror of Satan actually having a free will? That is, the nightmare of believing that not even God could stop the Adversary's evil designs—as much as He might want to? And yet this is what Christianity believes. How do we know? The satanic template starts in the Garden. God wanted a perfect world, but Satan dashed the Deity's hopes and dreams by deceiving the woman. There it is. That's where these religionists set the table. So now, when God decides to bind Satan and the start of the thousand-year kingdom, Christians have a problem. What if Satan does't want to be bound? "Oh, this is where God takes away Satan's free will." Really? But what if Satan doesn't WANT his free will taken away? So you see the corner that these schizo-miscreants paint themselves into with the lie of satanic sovereignty. I prefer the truth. And the truth is that Satan was not a good angel who, with a handful of his cronies, decided to rebel when God wasn't looking. What a juvenile idea. Satan was created purposely by God to be what he was and what he is, and at no time has he ever operated outside of God's control. Gee—do I have Scripture for this? What do YOU think?

Understanding that God is at peace with the entire world through the death of Christ helps us love normally unloveable people. It's not perfect because we still occupy mortal flesh, but it's an improvement over wanting to kill people. When Paul says in 2 Corinthians 5:15, "[Christ] died for the sake of all that those who are living should by no means still be living to themselves, but to the One dying and being roused for their sakes," what does he mean by "no longer living to oneself"? Does he mean ignoring one's basic needs or guilty pleasures? No. He means no longer looking inward to see if one's life aligns with the Christ life. (Spoiler alert: it doesn't.) Imagine being delivered from that. Well—you have been. So look outward toward the shining Son and never look inward, condemningly, again.

God calls what is not as though it were. He's so fond of doing this that He states His penchant directly in Romans 4:17, "...calling what is not as though it were." This fascinating (and sometimes confusing—if you're not careful) figure of speech announces a future event as a present reality. (The formal figure is called "prolepsis.") When some future event is so sure to occur, so guaranteed that it casts not a shadow of doubt, nothing communicates this better than stating that the future event has already occurred. If someone tells you to, "Take out the trash," and you respond, "Consider it done," you are employing the figure. Even better to say, "Done." The new humanity and the new creation keep company. "All is new" (2 Corinthians 5:17). This statement is clearly proleptic, for God says it of a creation that is obviously still old. But based on God considering things thus, He is currently at peace with the world. God being at peace with the world is NOT proleptic because it is His PRESENT disposition based upon what He knows He will do. We must resist the temptation to speak of God in the terms of timelessness. I have seen people make this mistake concerning, for one thing, the resurrection. "Since God is timeless," the theory goes, "then any talk of the resurrection as being future is not in keeping with this. Therefore, the resurrection has already occurred." It is possible that the theological miscreants Hymeneus and Philetus fell into this precise trap when insisting that the resurrection had already occurred (2 Timothy 2:16-18). Since God always speaks of Himself according to linear time (past, present, and future), so must we speak of Him. In fact, God's own name, "Yahweh," means "Will-Being-Was." And Paul calls Him (in Romans 16:26, "the eonian God." It is ridiculous, therefore, to assert that we are presently IN the new creation/new humanity. It is not ridiculous, however, to consider ourselves AS THOUGH we are a new creation/new humanity, for Paul continuously implores us to do so. Since it's possible to make the mistake of insisting that we are IN the new creation, is it also possible to deny that God sees things this way? Oh, it's more than possible. In fact, denying this is default disposition of all Christianity. The result of this mental miscue? I will demonstrate that for you in the life of a Japanese soldier who was still fighting World War II in 1974. Buckle in, this show is a doozie.

I decided to go for it on this one. I was frustrating myself with the phrases "new creation" and "new humanity" because we see nothing but the old creation and the old humanity, and so I felt that more explanation was needed. (I am always aware of new viewers.) But more explanation had to be built upon the foundation of the simplest reasons why we are here and Who God is. For this, who is competent? Exactly. So tune in and hear what God would have to say through this broken vessel.

There is a mostly unnoticed turn-of-phrase in the Concordant Version of Romans 5:18, and it is "life's justifying." Here is the entire verse: "Consequently, then, as it was through one offense for all mankind for condemnation, thus also it is through one just award for all mankind for life's justifying." The translation "just award" is senseless and, according to the Greek, ought to have been, "righteous effect." (I talk about this briefly.) But the translation "life's justification" takes the theological truth of justification by faith and applies it to one's entire life. This is under-appreciated. Toward the end of the video, I help you properly appreciate it. But before that, I am compelled to speak about a friend to whom I have brought the truth many times and who has, to date, rejected it each time. I talk about her piteous end in this eon (this is strange to say of a nice person, but she'll probably die in the Tribulation), the shame she will experience at the Great White Throne judgment (she deserves it; she hates the truth), her ultimate salvation (she'll finally credit her salvation to Christ; what a day that will be) and the monster named "Marie" who is apparently one of the nicest people in the world but who swallows and regurgitates ever satanic teaching ever invented and is in the position, as head of a church, to foist the devil's most cherished teachings (Eternal Torment, Free Will, the Trinity) upon others by means of the sysematizing of the deception, i.e., Marie has a degree, exercises authority, and possibly wears a robe.

The most epic event in human history (it's NOT the death and resurrection of Christ, but it's certainly related to it) has gone relatively unnoticed. In the middle of the night, two-thousand years ago, the human race changed hands. Ownership of humanity went from Adam to Christ. It happened in the middle of the night—kind of like daylight savings time. The result of the buy-out couldn't be more monumental, but 99.9999% of the human race is oblivious to it. Who knows about and why do so many NOT know about it?

There can be no doubt that normal minds must be shifted into neutral for them to swallow 1) the bizarre concept of 8 billion "sovereign" human wills 2) a "sovereign" God Who controls NOTHING, 3) a divine "salvation plan" which results in most of humanity being tortured by the plan's developer, and 4) a savior who rose from the dead even though He never died. There are only two kinds of people who can swallow any one—let alone all—of the above premises: 1) insane people, 2) people who are hypnotized. As insane people are generally restricted to hospitals where they can neither evangelize nor attend worship services, we are left with the hypnotized. The above three premises are taught as truth by the world's largest religion: Christianity. No doubt some are insane, but the majority are victims of hypnotic suggestion. By what means are they put under? By the most pleasant means available to humanity: music with repetitive lyrics.

When it comes to the promises and God and Christ, to say that I'm optimistic is an insult to these promises. Of these promises I am certain and assured. Concerning the everyday events of life, however, I've no real confidence of things going what I would call "well." But returning again to the divine promises, "All things are working together to the good of those who are loving God"—of this I am absolutely convinced. So the love of God and His loving development of me is the ultimate "well" there could be. Thus, I have come to trust Him in and through my every circumstance. MP3:

In 1998, Contemporary Christian Music star Clay Crosse wrote a song called, "Saving the World." Mike Telep used this song in 1999 as the intro to the second hour of our Grace Cafe radio broadcasts from Cleveland Ohio. Today, Clay Cross is the Lead Worship Minister at the First Baptist Church of Bentonville, Arkansas. "Saving the Word" is a catchy tune with beautiful Scriptural lyrics about Jesus saving the world. Ironically, the man singing the song does not believe—not even close—that Jesus saved the world. How is such an incredible thing even possible? That is the question conclusively answered in this edition of MZTV.

One of my favorite books of Scripture, Colossians details the glories of Christ: 1) He's the Image of the Invisible God, 2) He's the Firstborn of all creation; 3) in Him is all created, 4) He is before all, and 5) all has its cohesion in Him. If this were not enough, Paul comes to a wham-bang conclusion in 1:18 with, "...and He is the head of the body." Wha? Our Prince, our Leader, the One Who has taken us into His confidence, the One in Whose image we shall be—is the same one Who does all these things? Yep. This is Colossians.

Besides the 6/1 ratio (creation to stopping; millennia of human rule to millennium of divine rule) there is also a 2/1 ratio: millennia since Christ to millennium of divine rule. These two prophetic helps corroborate one another. In today's episode, I explore several examples of the 2/1 ration, the highlight being the fruition of the healing of Israel on the third day.

Because they hold tightly to Human Free Will and the Trinity, we know that Christians are not believers in Paul's gospel The doctrine of Human Free Will insists that salvation comes, not by Christ, but by one's belief in Christ. And the doctrine of the Trinity, of course, denies the death of Christ—the death of Christ being an essential element of Paul's gospel. This video deals chiefly with the inspired 2/1 ratio, documenting Scriptural instances of the ratio and applying it prophetically to the nearly 2,000 years that have expired from the time of Christ and the 6,000 years from the creation of Adam. But what will happen to Christians seven years before the 6,000 years expires and the Tribulation begins? Because they don't believe Paul's gospel, Christians will not be snatched away. Thus, they must endure the trials of the Tribulation. One important purpose of the Tribulation is to bring Israel to an awareness of her calling. As many of these Christians are remnants of the lost ten tribes of Israel, they gravitate toward the Circumcision gospel. Even those who are not literal sons of Jacob favor James over Paul. They, like Peter, will weep bitterly at the realization that they have betrayed their Lord, worshipping instead a false god their entire lives. But then, like Peter, they will be subsequently enlightened as to the true Christ and strengthened against whatever difficulties the seven years brings. The rest of Christianity who were merely playing church? Concerning them, it's not exactly as inspiring of an accounts.

Just when you think you are so pathetic and such a loser that you aren't even worthy to BE in the world, you discover God's point of view: the world is not worthy of being on the same planet as YOU. How could this possibly be? Because YOU are carrying the world's future on your despised, pathetic back. Only after the sons and daughters of God are changed and manifested before God can Christ begin the work of God becoming "all in all" (1 Corinthians 15:28), that is, "everything in everybody." Christ Jesus is the Inaugurator of our faith; the Firstborn from among the dead. Yet we, as His offspring, are His representatives on earth at present, the ones to whom the world SHOULD BE LOOKING for enlightenment, for an understanding of how God sees them. (We are administrators of the conciliation of the world—2 Corinthians 5:18-20). Yet because the world DOES NOT look to us—God's favored ones—the world is not worthy of the glory about to be revealed in us and for us. Whereas Christ is OUR firstborn, we will become THEIR firstborn—the firstborn of the mortal inhabitants of earth. Thus God speaks of us, and so is it true of us.

Jesus Christ is not only the Firstborn of all creation (Colossians 1:15), but firstborn from among the dead (Colossians 1:18). He pioneered the route from death to immortality for all sentient creation. But in case you think that we members of the body of Christ are mere passive recipients of this grace with nothing else to do or be, Christ Jesus our Lord has given to us an honor so great that the rest of creation stands on tiptoe to witness it.

First of all, I am frustrated as can be at the failure of my audio recording software to save the audio of this presentation, forcing me to use the back-up audio from my phone (with which I record the show's video). As everyone known, the microphones on phones, even iPhones, are sub-par, especially when recorded at a distance of five feet. (I'll stop talking about this in a moment, but please allow me to vent.) You know how obsessed I am with quality light and sound—but especially sound. After all, faith comes by hearing, and hearing by a good microphone. This was the second failure of my software to record a message about an end-time revival of the Roman empire. And so I am absolutely finished with QuickTime, and I'm begging any viewer to please recommend for me the best recording software I can get, and of course I'm willing to pay for it. The reason I'm putting out this show anyway is because the content is worthy. I could do the show over, but I've already done it twice and so, at this point, this is God telling me, "Drop your pride and publish this; I will make good use of it, you will see." So here it is. So will there be a revival of the Roman empire? Hell no. Is there a chance that the pope is the antichrist? Hell no. Was the Roman empire every really a world-encompassing empire? Hell no. Is the Roman empire a part of the metallic image dreamed by Nebuchadnezzar? Hell no. Is the encouragement of ecumenicalism by the pope a driving force that will actually bring the world's religions together in the end? Hell no. You could leave it at that and forego the video, but hell yes, the message is worthy and—for all my bitching—the audio is actually passable. Grace and peace and thanks for listening.
