Things New and Old

Ancient truths revealed in the Scriptures are often forgotten, disbelieved or distorted, and therefore lost in the passage of time. Such ancient truths when rediscovered and relearned are 'new' additions to the treasury of ancient truths.

Christ showed many new things to the disciples, things prophesied by the prophets of old but hijacked and perverted by the elders and their traditions, but which Christ reclaimed and returned to His people.

Many things taught by the Apostles of Christ have been perverted or substituted over the centuries. Such fundamental doctrines like salvation by grace and justification have been hijacked and perverted and repudiated by sincere Christians. These doctrines need to be reclaimed and restored to God's people.

There are things both new and old here. "Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things"
2Ti 2:7.

Another gospel which is no gospel!

This gAspel sounds so good to so many,
but it is ANOTHER gospel

This gAspel sounds so good to so many, but it is ANOTHER gospel, which is no gospel at all. It is very bad news, injurious and cruel, humiliating and insulting to sinners who are dead in trespasses and sins.  

Some who call themselves Reformed Baptists in Malaysia preach this same gAspel too!

Let us call that another gospel gAspel... it emits poisonous gas!

The "good news" of this gAspel is as "obnoxious" as offering life to the dead man if he would only accept the offer of life!!! Some think it is a great kindness to do so!!!

Why would a man be SO BLOODY* cruel and wicked, as to injure, insult and humiliate and mock a dead man by offering him life on condition that he accepts the offer??? Yet so many think it is great kindness of them to do so!!! Can you imagine a man rocking a casket, calling out to the dead man in it to accept his offer of life by just winking his eye?

*[bloody - adjective; informal chiefly Brit. used to express shock.]

Why would a preacher of such a gAspel HATE and REJECT the gospel of Jesus Christ, the good news that God Himself sovereignly and freely regenerates the dead in trespasses and sins, bestows them with eternal life... and calls them to believe the truth of what He has done for them??? Why?

Why are such men so hateful of the gospel of God? Why would they want to substitute the good news of God with something that is so cruel, that insults, mocks, and humiliate the helplessly dead sinners?

Also, this so-called gAspel gives no hope whatsoever to those who have no ABILITY to hear the gospel and those who have no OPPORTUNITY to hear the gospel! Such are ALL DAMNED... and are damned because those DAMNED preachers fail to bring the gospel to them! In this gAspel, God has respect for men - those who have the ability to hear, and those who have the opportunity to hear, and those who choose to believe are the ones who God will save!!! God has respect for such!!!

Such a gAspel conditions the salvation of God's people on the works of the preachers. No preaching, no hearing; no hearing, no salvation. PERIOD! The preachers become INDISPENSABLE in this EVIL and WICKED scheme! Even God becomes dependent upon them! BLASPHEMY of the highest order, stinking to the heavens! But such an idea of indispensability sure makes the preachers of such gAspel feel very IMPORTANT!!!

Maybe they just hate the biblical fact that sinners are helpless and in enmity against God! And they also hate that Christ DID FINISH everything needed for the redemption of His people, and the Holy Spirit freely applies it to each elect personally, leaving NOTHING for them to do to contribute the eternal salvation of God's elect!

They do HATE God's free grace because it put men in his right and proper place!!!

1. God sends His preachers:
- (but many send themselves... and they preach ANOTHER gospel, like the Larry Dela Crude!)
- So that His CHILDREN, the elect whom God has regenerated) out there may hear the gospel of their glorious salvation by Jesus Christ.

2. The gospel is preached
- The gospel is good news of what God has done and saved a people in Jesus Christ, calling such to believe what is already true.
- The gospel is not what God will do if dead sinners will do something. The gospel is good news, not a good offer.
- Believing the truth saves a child of God from lies and superstitions and enables him to experience the love and fellowship of God, assurance, peace, comfort, hope, etc.

3. The gospel is the good news of what God HAS DONE to save His chosen people. The gospel is NOT spirit NOR life.
- The gospel is SPIRITUAL truth, and only those with spiritual life is able to believe. The gospel declares the eternal life that has been secured by the works of Jesus Christ, and is bestowed freely to dead sinners, and such are called to believe the TRUTH, what is already true.

4. The gospel DOES NOT BRING faith...
- Dela Crude believes his preaching brings along the faith to the dead, and the dead uses that faith to believe, and in believing the dead is given eternal life! Poisonous lies!!!
- The preaching of the gospel DRAWS OUT faith from the heart of a child of God. The grace of faith works in the heart by the indwelling Spirit is drawn out by the preaching of the gospel, and that manifests itself in believing the truth of the gospel!

5. The Holy Spirit DOES NOT move with the gospel.
- This is the same stupidity as saying that the wind moves with the farmer! BODOH betul, dela Crude!!!
- Tooooooo crude even to a man on the street!!!
- The Holy Spirit moves independently and sovereign...

6. The sinner hears the gospel....
- The sinner dead in trespasses and sins does not hear nor discern the gospel. It is FOOLISHNESS to him; he scorned it.
- The children of God hear the gospel. Life precedes the activities of that life. Christ himself declared that, "Except a man be born again, he CANNOT...." Dela Crude insists and imagines otherwise!

Those are 6 of the 12 points of lies.

Larry Dela Cruz is the messenger according to no.1, and he is the messenger of another jesus to deliver another gospel.

That man promoted blatant heresy! He has no understanding of the scriptures.

de Crude wrote:
Jn 1:12 they received Christ first and given the right to be born again. Verse 13 new birth is the will and act of God to those who receive the Son.

[sing: that is, so receive the son first, and then born again.]

I replied:
John 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: 13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
- "them that BELIEVE" - PRESENT active participle, acting like verbal noun, i.e the believing ones.
- these "WERE born" - AORIST passive indicative, a punctiliar action in the PAST.

If a man WON'T admit that the PAST tense "were born" MUST precede the PRESENT tense "them that believe" he is like an idiot who says that he posts the letter today and it arrived yesterday!!! <LOOOOOL> Larry de Crude!!!

When a man CANNOT agree but rejects and repudiates an obvious truth like "life MUST precede the activities of that life" his mind is too perverse and twisted to understand the plain sense of the Holy Scriptures.

Spiritual life must precede the spiritual activities is a truth a child can understand but a man like de Crude is too wise to receive it!!!

de Crude reiterated his point:
John 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God. RECEIVING came first before new birth.

There are a few distinct verb actions in these two verses
- "received him"
- "to them GAVE he..."
- "them that believe" (verbal noun, the believing ones)
- "were born..."

The Scriptures is very clear that by nature the elect of God are dead in trespasses and sins. They too were conceived and born in sin, like the rest of the Adam's race.

What is the greatest and immediate need of those dead in trespasses and sins? They need to be brought to spiritual life. And that is by the direct and immediate divine act of regeneration by the Spirit of God, the new birth from above, born of God, given eternal life by Christ.

The BLIND teachers would say otherwise. Preach to the spiritually dead, exhort and demand them to perform some spiritual activities, plead and cajole them to respond to the great offer of eternal life...

They don't really believe the spiritual deadness of sinners.

They don't really believe when Christ repeated, "Except a man be born again, he CANNOT..." They are convinced those dead in trespasses and sins CAN... Shameless liars, and blind!

So, new birth must precede any spiritual acts. The gift of spiritual life must precede all the spiritual activities mentioned. The gift of spiritual life in the new birth ENABLES the performance of spiritual activities like believing and receiving. Life precedes the activities of that life... so simple yet great 'theologians' curse and reject that obvious fact as a lie.

Believing and receiving Jesus as the Christ of God secures for them the power from God, i.e. the divine right to call themselves the sons of God. Believing in Jesus Christ give them the BRAGGING RIGHT - the POWER to claim that they are the children of God. Power speaks of authority and right. Receiving Jesus as Christ bestows them such power; it evidences that they have been born of God AND have the power to claim such!

So, the order of those distinct action verbs in John 1:12-13 is this:

Were born of God >>> them that believe/received him >>> God gave them the POWER...

Please note that to be BORN of God and to be given the power to become children of God are COMPLETELY different and distinct matters. But careless students of God's word DON'T know how to rightly divide them!

Amazing that there are scriptures to prove the 12 things that have to be done to be saved! If it is biblical then it must be undeniable!

7. God opens the heart of His children to understand the truth of their salvation.

But God DOES NOT open the heart of the dead!
God DOES NOT perform an autopsy on the DEAD. God DOES NOT waste a move like that. Opening the heart of the dead does absolutely no good to the dead!!!

God regenerates and quickens the dead, and makes them His children.

He opens their hearts - to enable them to perceive and understand spiritual truth concerning their salvation by Christ.

I wonder what those people who preach the false gospel say about these two verses: "And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables? He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given." - Matthew 13: 10-11 (KJB)

Sounds like they totally ignored it.
