Description

"DAMNABLE HERESIES" "But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false prophets among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of." (II Peter 2:1-2) (KJV) The beliefs that are held by most Christians today, and throughout history, are not well thought-out or arrived at by revelation after years of searching for the truth. They are, rather, arrived at by learning what those in authority believe concerning a matter and then adhering to, and even defending, those points of "doctrine" or "orthodoxy" or "tenets of the faith" for the balance of the time that one wishes to remain in fellowship with those who share and defend those same points of "faith." The purpose of this book is to provide a means for those who may be enslaved by unbiblical points of Christian doctrine that depict God as a capricious, inconsistent, despot in His dealings with mankind (despite their protests to the contrary) to consider another point of view that is backed by scripture – not just the systematic theology or dogma of a respected theologian, bible teacher, or pastor. It is also designed to help those who believe differently from the "orthodox" thinking on such issues as predestination, original sin, eternal security, and "speaking in tongues," to be affirmed in their belief and to be armed anew with reasons for the convictions of their beliefs. Some quotes from the book... "A true Christian will jealously protect the true nature and will of God as He reveals Himself to us through His Word and through His Holy Spirit. Even apparently slight distortions of the Law, the Prophets, or the Gospel (the proclamation that the Law and the Prophets are fulfilled in the birth, ministry, death, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus the Christ) result in removing those who believe those distortions 'unto another gospel.'" "We have observed already in Scripture that God "...desires all men to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth" (I Timothy 2:4). As Scripture, reason, and direct experience show us, it is our own selfish pursuit of having things our own way that shuts us away from God's salvation not His will or predetermination of our eternal condition."
