I understand the bristling in the body of Christ when told by Paul that, just as in Israel, there is something they can do to obtain a better resurrection, and something they can do to lose it. This is not salvation, mind you, but a better resurrection after death. People think that nothing ought to be gained by being a good person, and nothing ought to be lost by being a bad person. This is a rather strange and calloused opinion, if you ask me, but there it is. It's the result of being so awash in grace for so long that one simply turns a blind eye to Scriptural passages—passages in PAUL, mind you—that speak of seemly and unseemly behavior and of something besides "mere" eonian life. The reaction is either, 1) "How dare Paul bring up the topic of my behavior," or 2) "Paul is not really bringing up the topic of my behavior, it only SEEMS like he is." The remedy to either 1) the complete ignoring of these passages or 2) the desperate twisting of them to make them say something other than what they are saying, is to appreciate the difference between 1) membership in the body of Christ and, 2) an exceeding glory and position WITHIN the body of Christ.

It is vital to grasp even the finer points of the absolute and relative perspectives lest we become ineffective not only in heralding the Word, but in our everyday interactions with others. Also, are we justified in patting ourselves on the back and working hard toward an allotment in God's kingdom? Just when you think you may understand the absolute vs. the relative perspective, here comes a guy (me) making a shocking statement like THIS.

I notice the bit of controversy I stirred up with my video about screwing up one's allotment. Because we are chosen before the disruption of the world and saved by complete and total grace, we can sometimes slip into the mistaken thinking that a) we don't sin anymore, b) there's no such thing as sin, and c) justified people can't sin. Even if a justified person does still believe in sin, such a person may think that it doesn't matter whether he or she sins or not. I see this thinking creeping in again in the body of Christ. It's not that it's creeping in, it's just that it has been dormant and I made a video that inspired its expression. I used to think along this line myself, so please, do not be overly alarmed. It is tempting to think that, because one is justified, then sin just doesn't matter and, really, how dare anyone talk about sin at all and, hey, not sure why the apostle Paul is talking about it, he must be stuck in the old mindset or something. The key problem here is a mixing, in one's mind, of the absolute vs. the relative perspectives. Man, if I had a nickel for every time someone in the body of Christ said, as a way of handling a sticky situation, "Yeah, but God planned it this way." Of COURSE He planned it this way. But do you think the guy who Paul caught screwing his stepmother said to Paul, "Yeah, but God planned it this way," and got away with it? Do you really think that Paul could be tricked by an illicit hijacking of the absolute viewpoint? Or how about this? The guy says to Paul, "Hey, man. I'm justified." Do you think the King of Justification (Paul) would bite that hook? MANY of your comments in the video in question told me that I need to do a couple shows on this issue. And I will. I do not tackle it in THIS show because I made this show right after I made the other one and so, at the time I made today's show I was unaware of the "Yeah, but all is of God" issue and the "How dare you talk about sin with justified people" issue. I am out of town at the moment. But next week I'll make a couple helpful videos on this topic that will straighten out the whole matter. Just wanted to drop you this line to let you know I'm on it.

When it comes to ruling and reigning with Christ, that is, obtaining a special allotment above and beyond membership in Christ's body, career sodomites and catamites appear to be out. They are still saved, however. Yes, they still have eonian life right along with extortioners and idolators who recognize Christ's death for their sins. But what about Christians? Surely they avoid the infamous sins of 1 Corinthians chapter 6. Indeed they do. And yet they do not recognize Christ's DEATH for their sins; they believe that they save themselves from sin by their belief. What is THEIR allotment? Here's the staggering truth.

No one in the body of Christ can lose their salvation—no matter WHAT they might do. But is there something above and beyond salvation that one can either be or not be qualified for? Indeed there is. In this video I tackle a very difficult passage of Scripture—1 Corinthians 6:9-10. Who in the body will "not be enjoying the allotment of God's kingdom," and just what exactly is this allotment?

One of the most significant evangelistic experiences of my life was going on live radio in the summer of 1999 at the largest Christian radio station in Cleveland, Ohio, with five other believers. Of that 5-week experience, one night stands out: the final night of the show that we had dubbed "Grace Cafe."

No one can see or hear God, as He is absolutely invisible and inaudible. This being the case, then Who was the God Who was speaking and showing up occasionally in the Old Testament? The answer is fantastic but yet so simple to understand that whenever I tell Charles about it, he wags his tail. This video is packed. For those who are weary of this subject that Christ was the Spokesperson and Ambassador for God from Day 1, we have one more glorious day of it (Thursday) and then a lovely little state-of-the-ministry address on Friday, with a side order of french fries and cole slaw.

I won't need to ask your forgiveness for revisiting the theme of the preexistence of Christ when you see what gold has surfaced from a deep dive into the faith of the One Who came to earth, stripped of everything but His soul.

The subtitle of this video is: An Important Rule of Scriptural Interpretation. I would not be re-visiting the topic of the preexistence of Christ unless two important things just happened. The first thing is the necessity of bringing you a new rule of Scriptural interpretation. The second thing is, well, you've just got to hit "play" to find out.

The key word in the phrase, "near-death experiences," is "near." No one experiences anything in death. Then what is happening with people who report lights and tunnels? In this video, you will hear from people at the Nebraska conference who have been near death themselves. Then, I attach an audio I made nearly ten years ago where I answer a question sent in by a listener about whether these experiences are of God or are demonic. Buckle in for a wild ride.

God makes it so humanly impossible to believe in Him (He speaks obtusely; He hides Himself physically; He purposely mistranslates Scripture) that such a course would be unfair and intolerable to accept were it not for the fact that, prior to doting upon His special treasure, He had already bought the entire world by the blood of His Son.

I was first introduced eight years ago to the theory that the book of Revelation was not inspired and therefore does not belong in Scripture. Whacking Revelation out of Scripture is akin to deleting the satisfying conclusions off of every novel ever written and every film ever produced. Revelation answers Genesis at every point. Dr. Bullinger, through his publication of the supernatural STRUCTURES in the Word of God, has proven that the book of the Unveiling of Jesus Christ (Revelation) not only belongs in Scripture, but is the satisfying resolution to promises and problems introduced in Genesis. According to Dr. Bullinger, "Revelation cannot be understood apart from Genesis, and Genesis cannot be understood apart from Revelation." In addition, I delve briefly into the Tory problem, that is, into those who do not believe in the pre-existence of Christ. I reiterate here the remarkable fact that while the Tories have not a single verse supporting their position, they prattle on as though they have hundreds. Uniting these two themes (the excising the book of the Unveiling and the denial of the pre-existence of Christ) is the phenomenon of the Athenians (the Epicurian and Stoic philosophers) addressed by Paul on Mars Hill in Acts chapter 17, who "had opportunity for nothing different than to be saying something or hearing something newer" (verse 21). I contend that Athenianism is alive and well in the body of Christ today, witnessed by a dissatisfaction with established truth and a troubling desire to lend an open ear and mind to whatever offbeat, "Biblical" theory presents itself. That such morbid curiosity often disguises itself as Bereanism, or "noble seeking" warrants its exposure as a danger to the saints. Our apostle was similarly vexed by the Athenianism of his day, insisting that the saints be rooted and grounded in the truth, immoveable—the opposite of being blown about by every wind of teaching.

Find a gaggle of self-righteous, religious hypocrites using the name of God for their own self-indulgent purposes, and there you will find the Lost Ten Tribes of Israel. If any of your friends or family members are currently self-righteous, religious hypocrites, then they are candidates for the greatest awakening among the sons of Jacob that the world has ever witnessed.

Where are the 144,000 who will testify during the tribulation? Where is the "vast throng" (Revelation 7:9) that accompanies them? If the kingdom is approximately seven years away, these ought to be showing themselves soon, yes? They will not be showing THEMSELVES, but God will awaken them with a miracle akin to the Upper Room. These people live next door to you, anonymously, playing church, believing every wrong thing about God that could possibly be believed. And yet they are holy because they are the literally—that is, genetically—Israel of God and their blindness is about to be removed.

We know that many of your loved ones and/or family members are church-goers who gravitate to Israel things such as the law, the four gospels, the Israelite feasts, the new moons, the earth, and the Millennium. Oh---and they love the book of James. We know that these are not in the Body of Christ, for they either hate, or simply don't understand the things of Paul. But what if there is a special place for them in the thousand-year kingdom?

To God, a thousand years is as a day (1 Peter 3:8). In light of that, consider this: 1) It has been exactly 2,000 years since last we saw Christ here on earth, and 2) Christ's delay after the death of Lazarus and prior to his resurrections was two days. I see a metaphor here suggesting that the two-thousand years of mortality and mourning transpiring since the resurrection of Christ is but a brief prelude to the joys of life from among the "dead."
