Do Not Be Deceived - 15 - All Names are In The Book

Updated on October 9, 2018

Do Not Be Deceived - 15 - All Names are In The Book


Recently I heard another false doctrine that I had never heard before. After 45+ years I Thought I had heard them all but not this one, I don't know how old it is or how wide spread it is but it needs to be exposed, so here is the truth on this subject. There are many more false doctrines in the article this came from but this is one I never have seen before.


Please Read this Before we Begin. Scripture requires each individual to “Do not be Deceived”. So I caution you to remember to not believe what I or any Other man try to teach you until and unless it is confirmed to you PERSONALLY by scripture and the Holy Spirit of God as TRUTH.

The writer will answer for what he writes but only YOU will answer for what YOU believe.


I do not know where this doctrine originated but since someone tried to convince me it was true, it obligated me to write the truth on the subject. I do know he got it from the internet.


The false doctines of man are very evil and we are warned in scripture that many man without the Spirit of God and Christ, that is a requirement that all real disciples of Christ must possess and follow, will come in His name as wolves in sheep skins to bring us into bondage greater than the one Jesus delivered us from. We must always be aware and understand that according to scripture, it is OUR personal responsibility to “DO Not Be Deceived”.


The False Doctrine of Man We Will Expose Here


This false doctrine as taken from his article, which we will show by scripture to be false is as Follows.

It says all man are born with their name written in the book of life, do not need to be written in there by Christ but can be removed. There are some other lessor errors also in it. I will use the material from the article on hubpages


Statement of the false doctrine


Salvation is given the moment we are forgiven; all our names are in the Lamb’s Book of Life and were there from the very beginning – we just have to make certain that our name isn’t erased by turning back after salvation is given, which is in two parts. Firstly while here on earth, which is positional and we remain here as a witness, then fully after death, if it’s before or during Tribulation, or if we’re raised alive at the end. We all receive the Holy Spirit by grace, the moment we’re forgiven (2nd Corinthians 2: 22) and also God’s seal, which will protect us from certain events in the coming Tribulation. But don’t think that ‘once saved is always saved’ – that is very dangerous thinking. Jesus knows all of our weaknesses, as does Satan – we all fall and we all will at times as he is always nipping at our heels and if we suffer a defeat, He doesn’t want us to dwell on it endlessly but to push on – if we approach the mercy seat, pleading with fear and trembling, with a broken and a sorrowful heart, it appeals to Him.


Response


First, we have genesis, man was born in the image of God, perfect and eternal. Adam lost it for us by disobeying God and causing all of mankind to lose their eternal life and have to die. First Spiritually and also naturally. No man (but the man Jesus Christ) can regain eternal life on His own. In this age you MUST come through Him to approach God and regain your eternal life. Without doing this No man living in this age can enter the eternal kingom of God. Since Jesus has all the power and authority of God (He has been delegated it by God - MT 28:18-20) in this age until He returns it to God at the judgment (1 Cor 15:24-28), so He sets the rules for our redemption. No one, even God Himself can do that in this age.


Next there is no 2Cor 2:22 , there are only 17 verses. There also is no mercy seat, that was finished at the cross also. We approach God through Christ in this age. The Holy Spirit is given when we ask for it. If not why did Paul aways ask if they received the Holy Spirit when they believed. In a perfect conversion the person would be also desiring the Holy Spirit but in most cases it is not even mentiioned. In all the baptisms I have been involved in I have seen only one person come out of the water speaking in tongues. I have also seen several that received it prior to water baptism, The article also states that water baptism is not needed. Yet scripture says that is where the heart is circumsized so that you can understand the things of God.

Col 2:11-15

11In Him you were also circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body of the sins*of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ, 12buried with Him in baptism, in which you also were raised with Him through faith in the working of God, who raised Him from the dead. 13And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses, 14having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross. 15Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it.


Salvation is not received , if it ever is, until the judgment seat, and in this age only true disciples of Christ who do all He requires of them and endure to the end will receive it. No names were in the lambs book of life from the beginning because it did not exist, and none are there now unless Jesus puts them there, it was not available in previous ages because Jesus was not born until this current age in which He is Lord.

It is true that Adam was created with eternal life, BUT when He ate of the forbidden fruit he suffered the penalty that God had promised him. He was reprogramed to die. Since he is the father of all man we also are programed to die. When Adam ate the forbidden fruit all men were forever lost unless they were redeemed during their lifetime.

Jesus was born in due time as scripture foretold and His mission is to give us in this final age the opportunity to redeem the eternal life that Adam forfeited. When He gave up His life on the cross and resurrected himself He earned the right of ownership over life and death. His book of life was established in this, His age, to keep the names of those that meet His qualifications for entry into the eternal kingdom of God as sons. It is HIS, it is the only way anyone can be redeemed in this age and no other, even God, can write a name in it.. There were NO names in it until He began writing names in it. It is impossible to write names in a book that did not exist, by a man that has not been born, in an age that had not yet begun.


Statement of the false doctrine


Salvation is a gifted thing, given free by Jesus who is unseen but the lusts of the flesh (meaning all) are all around us, seen by all and so easily beset us and we are constantly swayed by them. How much easier is it to follow or give in to the things that are seen in preference to that which is unseen? It now becomes a matter of how much we value salvation and it is the most valuable thing on earth.


Romans 8: 24, 25 says: For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man sees, why does he yet hope for? But if we hope for what we see not, then do we wait with patience for it.this is faith.


It is our sinful disposition that makes us vulnerable - we are all born into sin through Adam, which is why the virgin birth of Jesus was necessary so that He wasn't tainted with a sin nature. Jesus didn't have a human father, so the sin nature wasn't passed down to Him. However, since He had a human mother, (who also carried the sin nature) He was fully human but without the sin nature because He was conceived by the Holy Spirit,


Response

No one is born with sin through Adam. All are born with a free will and the human nature which is rebellious against God. No one in this age pays for anothers sin. At the end of this age, at the judgment, all will stand ALONE to be judged ONLY ON THEIR OWN WORKS. Also Jesus was born a man such as we are, according to scripture, so He had the same sin nature as all man. But He controlled it instead of as carnal man do, allowing it to control Him. He was determined that His will would be the will of His Father. He replaced His spirit with the Holy Spirit of God as we are to also do, if we hope to become a son of God. Look at their explanation, he has a human mother therefore if he is a man as we are He has the sin nature you can not remove it because you do not like what scripture says. If He was not a man with the same carnal spirit as any other man He could not be the redeemer, he would have been perfect and would not have met the requirements of the prophecies about Him.


And The Most Important Reason Why This Doctrine is False


Is that that would mean that God, Jesus, all the original Disciples, And all of scripture is A LIE. These are not liars, but the men that promote their false doctrines, including this one are. According to scripture they are carnal men, men without the Holy Spirit of God, not just not following it, but completely void of it and therefore are completely unable to correctly understand scripture and HAVE NO CONNECTION TO GOD, the very men we are warned in scripture to not let deceive us. These man believe they have the Spirit but they have the false holy spirit and follow the false jesus that we are warned will try to deceive us. We must reject ALL spirits that are not of GOD.

Then that also means that Adam did not bring death to all man, if man was born with eternal life. According to this false doctrine there would be no need for a redeemer so Jesus did not come or bring the opportunity to regain eternal life to all man and he did not die, nor did he defeat death . In other words the bible is a myth as many unrepentant man believe and say.

BUT I believe God. I believe the man Jesus. I believe the scriptures are the WORD of God. Because I have met God, I have met Jesus, I have tried the word and it is real and effetive.and none of these have ever failed me. Man do, man lie, But God does not lie, Adam died because he ate of the forbidden fruit and because of him all man die. No man is born with eternal life since Adam.

Gen 2:15-17

15Then the Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to tend and keep it. 16And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, "Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; 17but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die."

Gen 3:6-7

6So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate. 7Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves coverings.

Gen 3:17-19

17Then to Adam He said, "Because you have heeded the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree of which I commanded you, saying, 'You shall not eat of it': "Cursed is the ground for your sake; In toil you shall eat of it All the days of your life. 18Both thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you, And you shall eat the herb of the field. 19In the sweat of your face you shall eat bread Till you return to the ground, For out of it you were taken; For dust you are, And to dust you shall return."


God told us of the coming Jesus for many many years in His word, the man that would come to make restoration to God possible. The man Jesus Christ, the son of God was born as are all man since creation, through the womb of a woman. He lived on the earth then as scripture foretells He was killed by the church of man of His day. He freely gave up His life to make it possible for man to be redemed to God (regain the eternal life Adam forfeited in the garden.


John 19:28-30

28After this, Jesus, knowing*that all things were now accomplished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, "I thirst!" 29Now a vessel full of sour wine was sitting there; and they filled a sponge with sour wine, put it on hyssop, and put it to His mouth. 30So when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, "It is finished!" And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit.

He resurrectedHimself on the third day as prophesied and lives eternally as the first born son of God. He is the Lord of this age because God had delegated all of His authority to Him until the judgment. Because He defeated death by being dead and restoring His life to His dead Body, He now owns life and death. In this age He is the door to God. No other man can give you access to God. We cannot talk directly to God as Adam did in the garden unless we heve gone through Jesus and have become disciples of Christ filled with the Holy Spirit of God as He is, and do ALL He requires of us.

Those that are real disciples of Christ, filled with and following the Holy Spirit are given power and authority according to Mark 16:17. If those signs do not follow you, you are not a real son of God.

Mark 16:15-18

15 And He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. 16He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. 17And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; 18they*will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover."



Remember that the world translated as “believe” is


NT:4100 pisteu/w pisteuo (pist-yoo'-o); from NT:4102; to have faith (in, upon, or with respect to, a person or thing), i.e. credit; by implication, to entrust (especially one's spiritual well-being to Christ):

Which when we put it with the command from Jesus the Lord of this age

Matt 28:18-20

18And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19Go therefore*and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age."

The word translated as commanded is

NT:1781 e)nte/llomai entellomai (en-tel'-lom-ahee); from NT:1722 and the base of NT:5056; to enjoin:

“That I have enjoined you ” does not mean, that you only obey His COMMANDS, nor that all you have to do is believe He is Jesus the redeemer. It means that we are to teach them to do ALL that he spoke, did by example and every other thing He did. Much stiffer requirements than the apostate men say is needed, but it is the word of God and not of man.


Conclusion

You have read the false doctine as it was presented to me. In summary it says that all man enter the world in a “saved” condition, with their names written in the book of life.

Which is contrary to scripture that declares Adam lost eternal life for all men and that God sent Jesus to give us the opportunity to redeem it, become once again sons of God and enter into His eternal kingdom at the judgment.

We as followers of Christ must heed the scripture warnings that are given to us. We are warned of EVERY situation, who the people are and all other things that will cause us to wander away from the covering of Christ. If we do not heed the warnings then it is our own fault when we are deceived.

There are so many false doctrines of man floating around in what professes to be of God because most that teach are taught by man and not by the Holy Spirit as scripture teaches us is necessary in this age.

Do NOT be Deceived My Beloved Brethren. Scripture clearly tells you who will try to deceive you. Learn who they are and do not let them succeed.
