Our Offensive Love for Christ, Saviour of ALL! 1 Timothy 4:10 “To this end we labor and strive, because we have set our hope on the living God, who is the Savior of everyone , and especially of those who believe.” - Berean Standard Bible The apostle Paul was a revolutionary, never backing off to challenge the established order within both the Roman empire and Judaism alike. Paul always proclaimed Jesus to be Lord and Saviour of all and advocated the Christian faith to be universal and inclusive. He maintained his belief in the equality of all people in Christ, regardless of their ethnicity, social status, or gender. Paul was directly taught by the living Christ Himself and precisely this had made him regard all his credentials to be rubbish! Are ‘Christian’ theologians prepared to do this? Their retaliation gives the answer. Paul suffered dearly because of his ministry. Paul is our role model and it’s impossible for us not to follow suit, regardless of any adversity we encounter (and lots of it!). Neither the Roman Catholic church, nor the Protestant church proclaims the truth! That’s why we boldly speak our mind against these two institutions, backed up with solid- uncompromised Scripture and protected within the Christ above. Revolutionary offensive with love conquers hate! Those who object to this kind of love inherently defend themselves and NOT the Messaiah at all. With Christ, there is no ego. Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given, and the government will be upon His shoulders . And He will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” - Berean Standard Bible Catholic, you are so oblivious of your shackles Mat “ou hyp - Berean Standard Bible As a papal theist you blindly assent papal infallibility since the first Vatican Council in 1870, following its doctrines not proclaimed in the Bible. You have fallen prey to the snare of Satan, whose job was to deceive the world since his expulsion from heaven. His legacy of splendour, initially as a testament of God's glory, he re-established in Rome, the seat of ‘Christianity’, with vivifying flair. With his once beauty and brilliance he captivates billions of you, with the false portrayal of papal supremacy, mocking Christ. Your so-called ‘God-appointed Roman pontiff ’ became your ‘ high priest ’! Well, there is ONLY ONE Priest and He is Jesus Christ. Below, the apostle Paul uses this verse to contrast Jesus' eternal priesthood with the limitations of the Levitical priesthood.  Hebrews 5:4-6 4  No one takes this honor upon himself; he must be called by God, just as Aaron was. 5  So also Christ did not take upon Himself the glory of becoming a high priest , but He was called by the One who said to Him: “You are My Son; today I have become Your Father.” 6  And in another passage God says: You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek .”” - Berean Standard Bible Take note here and see that ONLY God Himself can appoint a high priest. Christ as the Son, was called by His Father to have become the eternal High Priest, the eternal Intercessor for us all, the ONLY Mediator between God and man. 1 Timothy 2:5 “For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,” - Berean Standard Bible And how did this High Priest, Jesus Christ, present Himself on earth? Matthew 5:1-2 1  When Jesus saw the crowds, He went up on the mountain and sat down. His disciples came to Him, 2  and He began to teach them, saying:” - Berean Standard Bible Jesus, the High Priest, the King of Kings, sat down with the crowd and taught them, perfectly blending in with His audience. Is this the picture painted from a waving Pope among his crowds? No, the Pope, with all his bishops and cardinals are a portrayal of ‘brilliance and splendour’ in their extravagant vestments, fitting in with Satan’s former look. Just see how The Pope is cheered with hysterical crowds and waving flags. Jesus’ crowd was silent and in awe of His wisdom, charisma and authority. Totally different scene. Jesus’ crowd did not idolise Him, but sat in silent reverence at eye level. Jesus IS the Temple, the Temple with ONE High Priest! Jesus destroyed both Temples and all their contents. Moreover, there were no priests left either! Nowhere in the Bible the building of a third physical temple is mentioned at all. But, as usual, the devil kept temples and church buildings with their hundreds of thousands of priests alive and kicking. The mortal priests in their cubicles, towards whom forgiveness of sins is directed, instead of to Christ the eternal High Priest! Mat “ou hyp - Berean Standard Bible The Heidelberg Catechism was commissioned by Frederick III, adopted by the Synod in Heidelberg and originally written in 1563. This document was intended as a teaching instrument for the youth in the Lutheran- and Catholic parts of Germany and to serve as a guide for preaching, by means of questions and answers. This Catechism was aimed to unify the reformed church and to instruct young people in the reformed doctrine and theology of the Calvinistic faith. But let’s see how biasedly it was written. Excerpt from its Q&A 52 Question ”: “How does Christ’s return “to judge the living and the dead” comfort you?” Answer ”: 1  In all distress and persecution, with uplifted head, I confidently await the very judge who has already offered himself to the judgment of God in my place and removed the whole curse from me . 2  Christ will cast all his enemies and mine into everlasting condemnation , but will take me and all his chosen ones to himself into the joy and glory of heaven. Scripture references for answer 1 : “Luke 21:28; Rom. 8:22-25; Phil. 3:20-21; Tit. 2:13-14 .” Scripture references for answer 2 : “Matt. 25:31-46; 2 Thess. 1:6-10.“ Okay, let’s scrutinise the Scripture references made above in this document. Answer Part 1 : “In all distress and persecution, with uplifted head, I confidently await the very judge who has already offered himself to the judgment of God in my place and removed the whole curse from me.” References Part 1 : “Luke 21:28; Rom. 8:22-25; Phil. 3:20-21; Tit. 2:13-14 .” Luke 21:28 “When these things begin to happen, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.”” - Berean Standard Bible Romans 8:22-25 22 We know that the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until the present time. 23  Not only that, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies. 24  For in this hope we were saved; but hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what he can already see? 25  But if we hope for what we do not yet see, we wait for it patiently.” - Berean Standard Bible Philippians 3:20-21 20  But our citizenship is in heaven, and we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, 21  who, by the power that enables Him to subject all things to Himself, will transform our lowly bodies to be like His glorious body.” - Berean Standard Bible Titus 2:13-14 13  as we await the blessed hope and glorious appearance of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ. 14  He gave Himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for Himself a people for His own possession, zealous for good deeds.” - Berean Standard Bible So far so good, but please make a mental note of Titus 2:13-14 here when references are made for the second part. Answer Part 2 : Christ will cast all his enemies and mine into everlasting condemnation , but will take me and all his chosen ones to himself into the joy and glory of heaven.” References Part 2 : “Matt. 25:31-46; 2 Thess. 1:6-10.” Matthew 25:41, 46 41  Then He will say to those on His left, ‘Depart from Me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels….. 46  And they will go away into eternal punishment , but the righteous into eternal life.”” - Berean Standard Bible Please do yourself a favour and go check the Greek word reflected in both these verses. In both cases the word aiōnion - αἰώνιον is reflected (Strong’s #166). The root word is aiōn (#165), which is “eon” in English. An eon is a definite time period with a cut-off element attached to it. It does NOT mean eternal at all, but simply a long period of time! Go see what the Catholic Public Domain Version says. It also reflects “eternal fire” and “eternal punishment” respectively. Question is, is the “eternal” only a matter of ignorance in your case, or does it indeed reflect your preference? 2 Thessalonians 1:6-10 6  After all, it is only right for God to repay with affliction those who afflict you, 7  and to grant relief to you who are oppressed and to us as well. This will take place when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with His mighty angels 8  in blazing fire, inflicting vengeance on those who do not know God and do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus . 9   They will suffer the penalty of eternal destruction , separated from the presence of the Lord and the glory of His might, 10  on the day He comes to be glorified in His saints and regarded with wonder by all who have believed, including you who have believed our testimony.” - Berean Standard Bible Now you will be shown just HOW bias this document is regarding the salvation of man. Please refer the Titus 2:13-14 reference made in the first answer . Tell me, at the second answer, the answer solely revolving around salvation, where is Titus 2:11 reflected here? Nowhere! Here’s why! Titus 2:11 “For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to everyone .” - Berean Standard Bible The lack of reference made to this verse is SCREAMING ! You, ‘Christian’, believing in eternal damnation, isn’t this verse enough to convince you of your fake doctrine? How many more verses do you want that proclaim universal salvation for ALL people? I’m not even mentioning the “me’s”, the “my’s” and the “mine’s here’ let alone the selfish attitude forced upon the student! And THAT from so-called theologians! And you, modern day theologians, you still proclaim this lie, specifically addressing the three reformed sister churches in South Africa! You, in the “N.G. Kerk”, the “Gereformeerde Kerk” and the “Hervormde Kerk”, you should be ashamed of yourselves! All you do is slandering CHRIST !
