“As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.” kjv 2 Peter 3:16

The boundaries of faith
I never knew you is the day when so many people, so many souls will perish. What was wrong with them? He doesn't recognize them the Messiah. He doesn't know them and in fact he tells us he never knew them . In fact scripture says that God knew souls even before they were in their mother's womb. Jeremiah 1:5 Recently I was reading about King Harold the great the one who persecuted the Hebrew children to avoid Christ's birth. He butchered and he was a tyrant of course lots of children to avoid the birth of baby Jesus. Matthew 2:16-23 But of course he was unsuccessful and wise men came to give worship. Could God have saved those Hebrew babies? I mean if God is Sovereign and he is why did he allow that to happen? " I put life and death before you choose life ". Notice the implied " I ". It's God who created everything seen and unseen. Through one man and I believe it was Adam sin entered into the world and since that time men perceived darkness. Romans 5:12 It doesn't mean that God is not sovereign and that he doesn't rule all things because it is written the Earth his footstool. Isaiah 66:01 So in modern times through the Apostle Paul who once persecuted the Church of God things have been changed. We are not under law and Apostle Paul warned about this. 1 Timothy 1:7 But what has occurred is since God has given us his mercy, his grace and his extended love for those who are not deserving because we are all as filthy rags people have taken that and have had grace abound. Apostle Paul said God forbid and he absolutely understood. Since that time we got the prosperity gospel and many false teachings. Just because God is merciful does not give you the right to break the laws that he wrote on our hearts. Hebrews 10:16-26 I was researching how the Pharisees ended up being Pharisees and it's very interesting. If you study the prophets that were centuries before the Pharisees even Isaiah's the prophet wrote about hell ( Isaiah 5:14 ) and then there was one Bible theologian who wrote that the Bible is man's work and not God's and of course he is greatly deceived. So I studied "I never knew you" in depth and I know what certain churches believe and other Christians believe about that. They are working something. ( iniquity )They are workers of something wicked!!. But they are found to be with iniquity which is lawlessness. James said show me your faith without works and I'll show you my faith with my works. James 2:18 I believe that is New Testament and the scriptures cannot be broken . So no we're not under the law and if we were under the law it would be virtually impossible and that's what Christ did for us as we cannot to save ourselves. It's a grossly misunderstanding of scripture. When you don't understand it and you're that blind your faith/trust is not in God. Now there are hundreds of Christians around the world or professing Christians. God knows who are his of course and who will be his in the end. As I said before we could learn a great deal from the thief on the cross although he was nailed to a cross at the end of his life and he did not go have to go do a bunch of works for his salvation. John 3:16 and beyond Although your works are evidence of your salvation once you are truly saved. The Bible says many people are destroyed for lack of understanding. They have rejected knowledge so GOD may just reject THEM! Not just talking about head knowledge but spiritual intuition. Spiritual wisdom. Jesus demonstrated his unrelenting faith. His stamina was apparent even to Pontius Pilate . Even too! Nicodemus the Sanhedrin Pharisee who believed in him it was apparent just the same. Even perhaps to the Prostitute that he saved.
You know the apostles and disciples realize that salvation was really hard to obtain on man's own merits. When they realized how hard it is to get in based upon what he told the young ruler they questioned him and he said with man these things are impossible but with God all things are possible. That means God has the capability to bring even a rich sinner into salvation in whatever means he uses. But nonetheless he said the way is straight and narrow. There are so many scriptures that are in the Bible that question once saved allways saved. So let's not take chances. 9:44 a.m. September 15 2022
After notes faith & trust but take no chances. The fear of the lord is the beginning of wisdom. Don't work iniquity and the great KING does prune the branches. What will it profit a man to gain the whole world and PERISH! Satin was sinning since the beginning shall we trample the blood of Christ and have grace abound. GOD FORBID!
