‘Christian’, do you for one moment doubt God’s power? Do you for one moment doubt God’s purpose-driven nature? Two provocative questions, but oh so justified! Why? Because getting people into believing in an everlasting hell fire of condemnation under the guise of ‘Christianity’ is the desired effect Satan achieves with stunning success. How? What is the predominant precursor of fear you think? DOUBT of course! To get ‘Christians’ following Christ out of fear, instead of out of love, keeps them slaves in bondage… keeps them in slavery under the law of Moses, instead of in freedom under the law of grace… the law of Christ. This is exactly where the Adversary wants them. Christians without the inverted commas are true Christians, acknowledging the True Christ for His act of universal grace at Golgotha unto everlasting life for all people. If you go to the grocery store to buy a bottle of olive oil, you go there with a purpose… to get what you want and expecting to get what you want. But, since you are not in the position to determine anything, chances are always there that you will not get what you want. With God, however, He is the One who determines ALL ( Proverbs 16:9 ). He gets what He wants, because He had already predestined all before time ( Ephesians 1:11 ). This brings us now to the “how?”. The evil one casts doubt by means of grammar… using academics (scribes) with credentials to do it for him. See, the world is programmed to believe that the truth only comes from tertiary institutes ( Matthew 11:25 ). Thus the ‘learned’ is [conveniently] not to be questioned. What grammar? Added little modal auxiliaries, like “might” and “may”. They are reflecting uncertainty, i.e. doubt. Words like e.g. “could”, “may” and “might” are modal auxiliary verbs that modify the modality of an infinitive verb they govern. These modal auxiliaries are usually used in the subjunctive mood, expressing possibility and uncertainty. They express the writer’s attitude and opinion around an event. The moment uncertainty comes up, fear kicks in. This is why Paul says in 2 Corinthians 3:6 “for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life”! Please check how many Bible versions reflect the added- on “may’s” and “might’s”, following “to” (Greek “hina- ἵνα ” [Strong’s #2443]? A lot! This “ ἵνα ” means “in order to”, or “to”. It clearly reflects purpose. God is a God of purpose. Everything God does, is with a purpose ( 2 Timothy 1:9 ). So then, be alert when you come across any added “might” or “may” after “ ἵνα ”. Have a look at your own Bible version re modal auxiliaries in the next three verses… Matthew 4:14 Does your version reflect… …”to fulfill what was said [spoken]…” or does it reflect… …”that it might be fulfilled…”? John 3:17 Does your version reflect… …” but to save the world through him…” ? or does it reflect… …” but that the world might be saved through him…” ? Romans 11:32 Does your version reflect the ABSENCE of any modal auxiliary verb at all? Chances are zero. I couldn’t [yet] find a version that doesn’t… sigh. Virtually all versions reflect an uncertainty around God’s mercy! And what about the last verse in the Bible- the verse where Jesus has the last say around His ultimate grace? Revelation 22:21 “ Ἡ χάρις τοῦ Κυρίου Ἰησοῦ μετὰ πάντων.” “Hē charis tou Kyriou Iēsou meta pantōn” “The grace of the Lord Jesus with all.” - Nestle Greek New Testament 1904 Jesus has the last say! Notice that “Christ”, “the saints” and “Amen” are omitted here. Why? Because Christ the Messaiah has fulfilled His mission. Because “all” suffices and an added “the saints” will be superfluous as all will be saints, set apart. “Amen”, the “so be it”, is not relevant here as the eternal present tense has come into effect. Hallelujah!
