| The question of the age: Do the unsaved | | | | The Truth from the majority of people with |
| actually reject Jesus Christ, or better, can | | | | only a select few, the called and chosen - |
| they do anything else but 'reject' Him?Now | | | | the twelve disciples, privy to knowing Jesus |
| here is a dictionary definition of rejection? | | | | Christ and Him as The Truth. All this |
| To renounce, denounce, throw away or discard | | | | Biblical evidence flies in the face of the |
| with no further use for - to treat with utter | | | | teachings of mainstream 'Christianity' even |
| contempt.Now, in order for this reaction to | | | | the whole idea that The Father is calling |
| happen i.e. when rejecting a person, there | | | | millions of people to His Son in this life. |
| has to have been a real on going relationship | | | | Why do they do this and think this way? Easy, |
| in the first place in order for real | | | | they are deceived by men of religion and are |
| rejection to take place. To treat someone | | | | therefore deluded.Now this 'rejection' by the |
| with utter contempt you must have grounds or | | | | unsaved that these deceived Christians get |
| a substantive reason, to come to the decision | | | | all hung up about can be likened to a child |
| to treat the person in this way. When a | | | | called Johnny who when offered a meal that |
| boyfriend dumps his girlfriend or a | | | | mum has never prepared before will often say |
| girlfriend dumps her boyfriend their | | | | "ugh, I don't like it and I don't want it - I |
| relationship is brought to sudden end and | | | | hate it" and no amount of persuasion by mum, |
| rejection has most definitely taken place. | | | | will get naughty little Johnny to change his |
| If, on the other hand, you were to walk up to | | | | mind. However, this is not true rejection of |
| a stranger in the street and tell him you | | | | what his mum is offering him because he |
| reject him, he would look at you, probably | | | | doesn't know how good the meal is and won't |
| scratch his head in bewilderment, and if he | | | | know until he's tried it and what's more, his |
| were a kind person, ask you, if you felt OK. | | | | loving mum knows this. This is how it is with |
| If not a kind person, he would probably tell | | | | the unsaved and their 'rejection' of what Our |
| you to do the other thing in no uncertain | | | | Lord offers them. This is why He said "Father |
| terms and consider you unhinged. Now this, | | | | forgive them for they know not what they do." |
| obviously, is not rejection, yet it is on | | | | They cannot know what they are doing, |
| this very same ridiculous notion that | | | | because only The Father can open their eyes |
| mainstream 'Christianity' bases their muddled | | | | to show them how lost they are and thereby |
| ideas on rejection of Jesus Christ by the | | | | give them the ability to want to know Him. We |
| lost and the unsaved.In the event of | | | | as lost souls cannot of ourselves, make a |
| 'rejecting' Jesus Christ on the sandy | | | | decision to follow Jesus Christ - it's |
| foundation of the latter example, i.e. that | | | | impossible!!This is the fundamental that |
| we are strangers to Jesus Christ, how can | | | | mainstream Christianity doesn't understand - |
| that be rejection? The lost and the unsaved | | | | the unsaved don't know what they are doing. |
| are complete strangers to Jesus Christ, they | | | | Now I will add in one of my favourite |
| don't know Him nor do they acknowledge Him | | | | Scriptures; John 6:44 "No man can come to me, |
| and He doesn't know them either. Many today | | | | except the Father which hath sent me draw |
| now say He never even existed, so how can | | | | him: and I will raise him up at the last |
| there be rejection!! The whole idea and | | | | day." Now notice this Scripture carefully, |
| nonsense that the unsaved masses 'reject' | | | | for it is as important for what it doesn't |
| Jesus Christ is patently a lie and a myth - | | | | say as for what it does say. What if the |
| something that has literally been made up by | | | | Father is not calling everyone now in this |
| men of religion - It certainly isn't | | | | age and what of all those who will be part of |
| Biblical.Now, as described earlier, to reject | | | | the second resurrection? Rev 20, for there |
| Jesus Christ on the metaphorical boyfriend | | | | is a physical resurrection; Ezekiel's famous |
| girlfriend basis as in John 6:66, "From that | | | | valley of bones proves that. This |
| time many of his disciples went back and | | | | resurrection is unlike our Born Again |
| walked no more with him." there is only a | | | | Spiritual resurrection which we as true |
| certain punishment awaiting the individual | | | | believers in this age will be part of when |
| concerned, for being so cowardly, foolish and | | | | Our Lord returns - The First Resurrection [1 |
| or wicked. Furthermore, if this individual | | | | Cor 15]. This resurrection predates the |
| continues in his stubborn refusal to come | | | | second resurrection by one thousand years. |
| back to The Lord, he or she will then be, as | | | | Rev 20:5.So what is this second resurrection? |
| Hebrews states, in big trouble: Hebrews | | | | Rev 20:12 "And I saw the dead, small and |
| 10:26-27 "For if we sin wilfully (voluntarily | | | | great, stand before God; and the books were |
| without a thought or consideration) after | | | | opened :" These people are resurrected and |
| that we have received the knowledge of the | | | | judged (evaluated) by their works, and we |
| truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for | | | | know salvation cannot be earnt by works. |
| sins, 27 But a certain fearful looking for of | | | | These people are dead; notice "And I saw the |
| judgment and fiery indignation (God's wrath), | | | | dead small and great stand before God." Not |
| which shall devour the adversaries." | | | | literally dead because they're standing |
| (Brackets mine) This passage applies to | | | | before God's Throne, yet they are still dead. |
| people who, now notice, sin wilfully after | | | | How can this be? This can be because they are |
| receiving knowledge of The Truth, and who is | | | | Spiritually dead not physically dead, so this |
| The Truth? Jesus Christ of course. These | | | | means these people have yet to live second |
| people in John 6 were really rejecting Jesus | | | | physical lives in The Kingdom of God and will |
| Christ, they had come to know Him personally, | | | | be given their first chance to repent. This |
| but turned their backs on Him - that is true | | | | is why John 6:44 is so crucial, because no |
| rejection and cannot be likened nor compared | | | | one can come to Jesus Christ unless The |
| to the non-existent relationship between the | | | | Father draws them.Now moving on, ask |
| unsaved and Jesus Christ.However, yet even | | | | yourselves this question: How will this |
| whilst Our Lord was dying in agony on the | | | | occur? "All Israel shall be saved?" For this |
| cross He said: "Father, forgive them for they | | | | is what Our Lord says through Paul in Romans |
| know not what they do." What we have to ask | | | | 11:26. What of all the Jews and Israelites |
| ourselves here is this: did The Father answer | | | | that have died in their sins having |
| Our Lord's request? Most assuredly He did, | | | | 'rejected' Jesus Christ, having never |
| for that is what His sacrifice and the gift | | | | repented of those sins in this life? Are we, |
| of Grace is all about. He died whilst we | | | | in our stubborn ignorance, going to condemn |
| were still sinners, whilst still in our sins, | | | | the unsaved and at the same time create |
| so that at the point of our calling, | | | | another 'Biblical contradiction'? Well I for |
| everything has already been done for us and | | | | one, am not.Finally and apart from what I |
| all we have to do is believe and more | | | | have written above on this subject, there is |
| importantly; keep on believing through thick | | | | seemingly another twist to this. In Matthew |
| and thin - trusting in faith.Right, all the | | | | 28:19-20 it says this: "Go ye therefore, and |
| above knowledge and Truth is a fundamental | | | | teach all nations, baptizing them in the name |
| fact which mainstream Christianity misses and | | | | of the Father, and of the Son, and of the |
| misunderstands because they think that any | | | | Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to observe all |
| unsaved human being that 'rejects' Jesus | | | | things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, |
| Christ in this life is doomed to fiery | | | | lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of |
| eternal damnation or hell - their favourite | | | | the world. Amen."Now, is this Scripture a |
| word. OK, let's assume, just for this | | | | contradiction of what The Lord said in |
| article, they are right and we apply this | | | | Matthew 13? No, no way, for there are no |
| idea to the masses regarding Salvation; all | | | | contradictions in God's Word just our poor |
| the while bearing in mind that God is a God | | | | understanding of it. The Lord tells us to |
| of love, mercy and forgiveness and at the | | | | teach all nationalities, all peoples, but |
| same time, Jesus Christ said these very words | | | | notice, He doesn't say "so that multiple |
| regarding the masses whilst He walked this | | | | millions of them will be converted" Yes, |
| earth:Matt 13:10-15. "And the disciples came, | | | | teach all nationalities, but only those I |
| and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto | | | | have called and chosen. There we are, Matthew |
| them in parables? 11 He answered and said | | | | 28:19-20 now has a totally different meaning |
| unto them, because it is given unto you to | | | | to what mainstream 'Christianity' believes |
| know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, | | | | and all due to the fact that they think this |
| but to them it is not given. 12 For whosoever | | | | life is the only opportunity for mankind to |
| hath, to him shall be given, and he shall | | | | be saved; a blasphemy and a nonsense, and to |
| have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, | | | | prove it, let's go to 1 Tim 2:4 "Who will |
| from him shall be taken away even that he | | | | have (desires) all men to be saved, and to |
| hath. 13 Therefore speak I to them in | | | | come unto the knowledge of the truth." |
| parables: because they seeing see not; and | | | | (Brackets mine.) If God desires something do |
| hearing they hear not, neither do they | | | | you think He is going to have His desires |
| understand. 14 And in them is fulfilled the | | | | satiated or not? Is God all powerful or weak? |
| prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing | | | | I will leave you all to answer this question |
| ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and | | | | for yourselves.Right, there we have it, |
| seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive: | | | | concrete evidence that all men will come to |
| 15 For this people's heart is waxed gross, | | | | the knowledge of The Truth, and who is The |
| and their ears are dull of hearing, and their | | | | Truth? Jesus Christ is The Truth. So all men |
| eyes they have closed; lest at any time they | | | | will come to know Jesus Christ, but when? |
| should see with their eyes and hear with | | | | Well not in this age that's for sure.Feel |
| their ears, and should understand with their | | | | free to contact me at yes2faith@yahoo.co.uk |
| heart, and should be converted, and I should | | | | if you wish to know more about God's Truth - |
| heal them." (Emphasis mine)These verses | | | | Jesus Christ. |
