MAKING IT SAY WHATEVER YOU LIKE

by

By Ken Blue

There’s no doubt that the Bible can be a dangerous and destructive book when it is not properly interpreted or applied. It is possible to make the Bible teach anything you want. That is not the fault of the Bible, but of dishonest and selfish men who use it for advantage. Others simply may not know how to rightly divide it or make proper application.

You may have heard of the man who decided to read a verse every day, and see how he could apply it to himself. He opened the Book at random and placed his finger on a verse; it said, “Judas went out and hanged himself.” Well, there was no way he was going to apply that verse to himself. So, he tried again. This time his finger fell on a verse that said, “Go thou and do likewise.” Things were not going his way on this first day of study. He decided to give it one more try. This time his finger landed on a verse that said, “what thou doest, do quickly.” When it came to Bible application, he hanged himself.

This kind of sermon selection goes on all the time. Many feel if they have acknowledged that a passage belonged to another dispensation, they are at liberty to apply it any way they like.

This is where these silly little arguments about sound tracks, Power Point, musical instruments, song leaders’ vs. group leaders, come from. Spurgeon, Wesley, Luther, and Adam Clark all taught that any musical instruments were anti Scriptural. Are you going to go against these pillars of the faith?

The greatest danger I see is when a preacher or teacher plows through the Bible, commenting on every verse by making an application that fits his own belief. That is fine if our belief is in line with scripture for this dispensation, but many of those applications are nothing more than our preferences. If they have an ax to grind, a hobby horse to ride, or a hair to split, they can’t resist using the verse for the occasion. So, remember, the Bible is not always teaching what you’re hearing. You can make it say anything.

MY NAME IS BARABBAS

by

By Ken Blue

 

 

 

 

 

From my window here below, upon Golgotha’s hill I see,

Three crosses standing tall, and the center one is there  for me.

 

I never thought a day of judgment like this would ever come.

I evaded all pursuers; I was always on the run.

 

Mine was a life of sin; while creating both renown and fame.

People heard from far and  near and said, “Barabbas is his name.”

 

There is turmoil in the city over one called Jesus Christ.

That’s unimportant to me now; tomorrow I pay my price.

 

It’s morning light and in the door I hear the skeleton key.

The executioner has surly come; he has come for me.

 

He takes me to an iron gate, there inserting another key.

As the gate open’s wide he says, “You may go now, you are free.”

 

I stand in frozen disbelief at what I’m hearing and see.

For someone is on the cross, the very one that was for me.

 

Many years have come and gone, I remember His battered face,

And now I fully understand, He willingly took my place.

 

There is an empty cell below; the captive is now set free.

There’s an empty cross on the hill; redemption blood has paid the fee.

 

There’s an empty tomb in the garden; death cannot hold its prey.

There was emptiness in my heart, but He’s filling it today.

 

He freely opened the prisoner’s gate; His cross, the only key.

He says to all who come to Him, “You may go now, you are free.”

 

TO THE FOLLOWERS OF HAROLD CAMPING; DO THYSELF NO HARM.

TODAY IS THE DAY!!! ?

Harold Camping has assured his followers that the rapture will take place May 21, 2011. I am a firm believer in the rapture; I am also a firm believer that Camping is a diluted false prophet. I have been a student of God’s Word for over 50 years and I can tell you that his time-line is a fantasy. I know the answer to the question, “Which came first, the chicken or the egg?” But I am a little concerned about Noah’s flood and Camping’s time- line.

It would be interesting to see the facts as to how he arrived at the date of 4990 B.C. for the flood. He cannot. Here is how Camping operates. He distorts every verse in the Bible to confuse his follower, and then they need him to explain them. Not one person could come up with the teaching that Camping preaches. If you know any predecessors who taught what he teaches, we would like to know who they are. Not one of Camping’s followers would interpret the Bible as he does, without his books and teaching.

WARNING: History has demonstrated the despair and the suicide of many who follow false prophets, and later discovered they were deceived. On May 22, hundreds of you will be confused and embarrassed, unless you have an ace up your sleeve. My advice to you is this, if the rapture does not come as your false prophet predicts, don’t give up your faith in God or the Bible. Just find a church where the truth is taught. God wrote the Bible so you can understand it. Therefore, you are able to check all teachers by the Word of God. Do thyself no harm.

NOTE: I just received this from a follower of Harold Camping. It concerns me. Note how many times death is hinted at.
“May The Lord Find Us Faithful”………..By Mac Lynch
God has not given us the spirit of fear, But has given us the strength to obey.
With power and sound mind, with love the unfailing kind, Oh, be not a-shamed of His way.
[Chorus]
May the Lord find us faithful,
May His word be our banner held high
May the Lord find us faithful,
Everyday tho’ we live tho’ we die.No man that seeketh after things of this life, Is a soldier, who passes the test.
Be faithful, be working, be running, be serving, Be searching His word for His best.
Living or dying may honor be Thine
From this wretched life, You loved and forgave.
A life that’s on fire, be only our heart’s desire, Be faithful from now to the grave.”

The above anonymous follower of Camping has sent me several comments about his beliefs. My first question to him was, “If the rapture does not happen on May 21, I hope you will be Christian enough to contact me and admit Camping is a false prophet and that you were wrong. You should have enough grace to do that. Right? Is there some reason you fear to give a yes or no answer? If the rapture takes place, and you are saved, you won’t have to answer. If it does not you should boldly step forward and admit you were misled and Camping is a false prophet. There is nothing difficult to understand about the question.” He ignores my question, refusing to answer it. That speaks volumes.

HOW TO BE A NEW CREATURE IN CHRIST

by

IF YOU’RE IN CHRIST, YOU ARE A NEW CREATURE

By Ken Blue

“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 2 Corinthians 5:17.

The Lord Jesus Christ was born without a sinful nature, just as Adam was created without a sinful nature. Although Adam is called the Son of God, it is by virtue of his direct creation. Jesus is the Only Begotten Son, because of His unique birth. However, Jesus was just as much a man as was Adam.

Jesus was human and had every need that man has. He was hungry, thirsty, weary, sleepy, sorrowful, in agony, wept, felt pain, bled and died. There was nothing about his earthly existence that could provide payment for our salvation. His teaching, example, and wonderful life could save no one. To be saved, we must become new creatures.

When Jesus went into the grave, His was a dead, helpless, and lifeless corpse. After three days, He arose in a new glorified body that required none of the Adamic needs. He was not a new creation; He was a new creature, the last Adam, and the head of a generation of new creatures who are in Him.

[pullquote align=”left” cite=”” link=”” color=”” class=”” size=””]Church, denomination, sincerity, sacrifice, or martyrdom can never save you.[/pullquote]

That is why all the religion and good works in the world can never save any person. Your church, denomination, sincerity, sacrifice, or martyrdom can never save you. You must be in the glorified, risen Christ and be a new creature, as He was.

How is that possible? When Jesus died on the cross, He was dying in your place, as your substitute. He took all your sins and guilt on Himself, and God saw you in His Son! Thus, His death was your death. His burial was your burial, and His resurrection into newness of life was your resurrection. He was made sin for you, and you are made righteous in Him! Therefore, every believer who appropriates His death and resurrection as his own is a new creature in Christ.

If you are not saved, now would be a perfect time to accept Jesus Christ as your personal Savior. If you believe what He died for you and you will accept it by faith, He will save you and make you a new creature in Him. All you need to do is accept Him and tell Him you accept Him as Your Lord and Savior. He will do the rest.

“ That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation… 13. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” Romans 10:9-13.
