Brethren, in this podcast series I’m simply giving you (what I believe to be) some ‘hidden’ biblical Truths of Scriptures. You don’t have to believe what I’m sharing (about Yeshua Christ’s soul and spirit going to hell to pay off mankind’s hell sin debt) to BE or GET saved! What I’m doing in this podcast series is similar to when I try to teach the Brethren the truths about pagan origins of Christmass or Easter, and the reason behind WHY the man-made ‘names’ of God and the savior is in our Bibles these days. Or when I did a podcast explaining why I KNOW that it was only the twelve Apostles who were together on the Day of Pentecost (when the supernatural manifestation of the Spirit of Yahweh took place.)

All Believers are called to be a DEFENDERS OF THE FAITH (i.e. defenders of the Truths of Scriptures.) I don’t know about you…but I take that responsibility seriously! So, in light of that…I KNOW that the Good Lord wants me to share ALL His biblical Truths (and truths in general) with His sheep. (Sadly, very few of Yahweh’s ‘shepherds’ these days are true defenders of the one True faith handed down to all in the Scriptures. And I believe that’s because very few of Yahweh’s ‘shepherds’ really know their Scriptures very well.

For me personally, when I realized that not only did my savior suffer miserably before He finally died on the cross…He then went to hell (for three days and three nights) to ‘complete’ His sacrifice for mankind’s sins…my appreciation for what He did to save my sorry butt from hell was magnified!

Speaking the Truth in love (because so few are),

Most born-again Believers don’t ‘see’ that the Scriptures clearly imply that our Lord and Savior Yeshua Christ suffered TWICE for mankind’s sins. His physical (i.e. body) death at Calvary “paid for” the physical consequences of mankind’s sins. But once HIS physical body died…HIS soul and spirit went to hell (for three days and three nights) to ‘pay off’ the hell sin debt that ALL humans ‘owe’ a holy and just God!

Matthew 12:38-40 At this some of the Torah-teachers said, "Rabbi, we want to see a miraculous sign from you." He replied, "A wicked and adulterous generation asks for a sign? No! None will be given to it but the sign of the prophet Yonah. For just as Yonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the sea-monster, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the depths of the earth.

The Bible teaches that the PHYSICAL death of Christ (i.e. His blood sacrifice at Calvary) ‘removes’ or washes away a Believer’s physical (i.e. fleshly) sins as they confess and repent! WHAT Yeshua Christ did a Calvary DIDN’T ‘remove’ the hell debt consequences (for our sins) (that our soul and spirit deserves to ‘pay for’ in Hades?) That’s WHY Yeshua Christ’s (INVISIBLE) SOUL/SPIRIT HAD TO GO TO HELL! Yeshua’s PHYSICAL death (I.e. sacrifice) at Calvary was a ‘partial’ payment for mankind’s sins! Christ ‘completed’ mankind’s sacrifice for sins by going to hell and paying off the hell sin debt that ALL humans ‘owe’ a holy and just God!

Acts 2:24-27, 29-32 But Yahweh has raised HIM up and freed HIM from the suffering of death; it was impossible that death could keep its hold on HIM. For David says this about HIM (i.e. the Messiah): 'I saw ADONAI always before ME, for HE is at my right hand, so that I will not be shaken. For this reason, MY heart was glad; and MY tongue rejoiced; and now MY body too will live on in the certain hope that YOU will not abandon ME to Sheol. (Peter speaking to Jews) "Brothers, I know I can say to you frankly that the patriarch David died and was buried—his tomb is with us to this day. Therefore, since he was a prophet and knew that Yahweh had sworn an oath to him that one of his descendants would sit on his throne, David was speaking in advance about the resurrection of the Messiah, that it was HE who was not abandoned in Sheol and whose flesh did not see decay. Yahweh raised up this Yeshua! And we are all witnesses of it!

Yes! the Bible clearly implies that Yeshua Christ suffered TWICE for our sins! Once on the cross…and once in hell! Yeshua Christ completely PAID OFF our hell sin debt when we got saved…but all those PHYSICAL sins that we commit AFTER we get saved are ‘removed; (i.e. washed clean by the Blood of Christ) as we confess and repent of the sin we just committed!

Now…IF you listen to the podcast series on this topic you’ll hear me say (repeatedly) that I am NOT telling you that UNLESS you believe what I’m sharing (on this topic) you can’t be saved! I know Brothers and Sisters in Christ who don’t believe (for foolish, emotional reasons) that the soul and spirit of Yeshua Christ went to hell! Oh well! We’ll let the Lord sort that out at the Judgment Seat. P.S. I believe that a lot of our so-called biblical beliefs are going to be ‘corrected’ at the Judgment Seat of Christ!

Brother Bob

So this is the final podcast in a four-part series where I expose the unbiblical errors of Calvinism! As I share in ALL MY podcasts…a Believer doesn’t have to be a rocket scientist or Bible scholar to hear and understand the simple Truths of Scriptures that I share. AND YET…as I look out into the world at the born-again Church…I SEE (i.e. HEAR and READ) a LOT of very pious sounding but totally unbiblical BS (i.e. biblical stupidity) being ‘passed off’ as being ‘of the LORD’!

I have never claimed to have all the answers…but after 40 years of seriously studying the written Word of Yahweh…and NOT just casually reading thru the Word of Yahweh…I have learned much! So, when I do ANY podcasts…not just this one exposing the errors of Calvinism…I AM NOT determining my ‘biblical positions’ based on what SEEMS or FEELS right. But rather on what I believe is LOGICALLY and TRUTHFULLY right…according to Yahweh’s written Word. I’ll be honest…I am shocked by the number of Believers whom I have talked to who do not have BIBLICAL convictions. BUT rather spiritual convictions based on what seems right (i.e. feels right) to them! And that’s definitely the case with Calvinists! There is absolutely nothing biblically true about the TUILP doctrines of Calvinists…and yet thousands of professing born-again Believers have allowed themselves to ‘fall prey’ to the idiotic doctrines of Calvinism!

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ…I KNOW (from the obvious biblical apathy and biblical ignorance) that I see (i.e. HEAR and READ) in many of today’s born-again Believers, that the Church is in the End Times! (Side Note: Yeshua Christ and the Apostle Paul clearly tell us in the Scriptures that this is what the End Time ‘fallen away’ (from biblical Truth) Church will be like!) So, with that said, PLEASE!...PLEASE!...PLEASE! 'TURN OFF' your ‘emotion button’ and go listen to my podcasts (with an honest and teachable mind) at God’s Word Unfiltered. P.S. If you choose to listen to my podcasts…please ‘leave your heart’ on the Hallmark movie site. Don’t ‘bring your feelings’ into a Bible study situation.) If you have BIBLICAL ‘aught’ with what I say…please email me at brobob4him@gmail.com. But don’t waste my time (and your time) emailing me IF all you have to ‘offer me’ is something in regard to how much you don’t ‘like’ WHAT I say or HOW is say it!

Your true friend in Christ, Brother Bob

In Part three of this series about exposing the unbiblical errors of Calvinism I focused on the letter “L” (in the Calvinistic TULIP acronym); which stands for: LIMITED ATONEMENT OR…to simply that ‘fancy’ phrase LIMITED ATONEMENT literally means (to a diehard Calvinist) that Yeshua Christ did NOT die for everyone. He only died for those (very few) who His Father predetermined (i.e. picked ahead of time) would be saved! I KNOW! It’s NUTS! The more I study the Calvinistic beliefs…the more I’m convinced their doctrines come right out of the pits of hell themselves!

Well…here are three…easy to understand (unless you’re a ‘blinded’ Calvinist) Bible verses which totally contradict the blasphemous concept of LIMITED ATONEMENT!

I John 2:2, "Yeshua Christ is the propitiation for our sins: and not for our's only, but also for the sins of the whole world ."

1 Timothy 2: 5-6 "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Yeshua Christ; Who gave himself a ransom for all

John 3:16-17 For Yahweh so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. ​For YAHWEH did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.

I could share many more Bible verses which 'expose' the Calvinism doctrine of LIMITED ATONEMENT for what it is. (A deceptive lie!) But I won’t! If your spiritual mind and heart are so hard-hearted that you can’t see the obvious errors of the doctrines of Calvinism…you are definitely ‘caught up’ in a dark ‘light!

Your true friend in Christ,

Brother Bob

Brother Bob…What do you mean I’m responsible for my walk with Christ? Sadly, many Believers in the Church today have been duped into believing that either the Spirit of Yahweh or Yeshua Christ Himself are totally responsible for their spiritual walk! A lot of born-again Believers are foolishly told that IF their faith is strong enough…they can simply ‘sit back’…’put their feet up’ and watch the savior or the Holy Spirit ‘fight’ all their spiritual battles for them! Here are just a FEW of the hundreds of Bible verses which clearly show that the born-again, Spirit-indwelt, blood-bought children of Yahweh…and NOT the Spirit of Yahweh…are accountable for ‘walking the talk’!

Luke 13:24 --- “Work hard to enter the narrow door to God’s Kingdom, for many will try to enter but will fail.

Romans 12:11 Never be lazy; but work hard and serve the Lord enthusiastically.

1 Corinthians 3:8 The one who plants and the one who waters work together with the same purpose. And both will be rewarded for their own hard work.

Philippians 2:12 Work hard to show the results of your salvation, obeying God with deep reverence and fear.

1 Timothy 4:10 This is why we work hard and continue to struggle, for our hope is in the living God, who is the Savior of all people and particularly of all believers.

1 Timothy 5:17 Elders who do their work well should be respected and paid well, especially those who work hard at both preaching and teaching.

2 Timothy 2:15 Work hard so you can present yourself to God and receive his approval. Be a good worker, one who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly explains the word of truth.

Hebrews 2:1,3 So we must listen very carefully to the Truths that we have heard, or we may drift away from it. So what makes us think we can escape if we ignore this great salvation that was first announced by the Lord Yeshua himself and then delivered to us by those who heard him speak?

Hebrews 4:6,11 So God’s rest is there for people to enter, but those who first heard this good news failed to enter because they disobeyed God. So let us do our best to enter that rest. But if we disobey God, as the people of Israel did, we will fall.

2 Peter 1:10-11 So, dear brothers and sisters, work hard to prove that you really are among those God has called and chosen. Do these things, and you will never fall away. IF you work hard at doing these things…then Yahweh will give you a grand entrance into the eternal Kingdom of our Lord and Savior Yeshua Christ.

Church, the idea that the Holy Spirit is ‘responsible,’ or worse yet is the One, who does all this stuff above for Believers is ludicrous! Any words of ‘honor’ or ‘praise’ (from Yeshua Christ) (at the Judgment Seat of Christ) for a ‘job well done’…will be empty words IF we’re not the ones deserving of those words of honor or praise! If it isn’t the Believer who plays a major role in ‘fighting the good fight’…then the whole Judgment Seat of Christ reward system is a farce! I don’t know about you…but I don’t want to take credit (i.e. get rewarded) ‘for a job well done’…IF I wasn’t the one choosing to strive to try and please my savior and my Heavenly Father! I want it to be me and not the Spirit of Yahweh who ‘earned’ the praises of my savior!

Speaking the Truth in love,

Brother Bob

I’m a born-again Believer who sincerely and genuinely strives to defend what I believe to be the Truths of Scriptures. I believe that the doctrines of Calvinism have very little to do with the Truths of Scriptures (even though Calvinists say otherwise!) So, in spite of what the Calvinists say about their doctrines being biblical...I know they're not. So I 'look at' Calvinistic doctrines as being deceptive and dark 'enemies' of biblical Truth...which need to be 'rooted out' of the Church. Now I know that many Calvinists sincerely believe that their Calvinistic beliefs are biblical. But so do the Mormons, JW’S, and today’s emotionally driven, experiential signs and wonder seeking Pentecostals. All of who I know have beliefs that are either unbiblical…or (un)biblically inaccurate.

Now, I don’t hate Calvinists. However, I do ‘hate’ their Calvinistic doctrines! (Just as I don’t hate Catholics. I hate their man-made doctrines.) Most Calvinists don’t even realize how unloving they are. Their doctrines have not only ‘turned’ the God of the Scriptures into an unloving God…they have ‘turned’ Yahweh into a liar. Every Bible version on planet earth includes words like these: John 3.16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, so that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.

One of the beliefs of Calvinism is that the only people who get saved are those people who Yahweh picks for salvation! That belief makes Yahweh out to be a liar! Because this Calvinistic doctrine teaches that Yahweh doesn’t love the whole world...even though the Bible verse above says differently! And IF Yahweh only loves those who He ‘picks’ for salvation...Yahweh lied when He gave the world that Bible verse above! Another reason why this Calvinist belief (that the only people who get saved are the people Yahweh picks for salvation) makes Yahweh out to be a liar is the fact that the verse about tells us that Yahweh made His Son available to the whole world! And yet, the Calvinistic belief above teaches that Yahweh only made His Son available to a few! And finally…the last reason why this Calvinistic belief (that the only people who get saved are the people Yahweh picks for salvation) makes Yahweh out to be a liar is that in John 3.16 above, Yahweh declares that whoever believes is given the opportunity to believe in His Son (for salvation.)

Brethren, this Calvinistic belief that I just shared above is just one of the unloving, unkind, deceptive, and biblically inaccurate doctrines of Calvinism! There are many more. If you’re genuinely concerned about WHY the doctrines of Calvinism are biblically wrong…please listen to this podcast series. IF you’re a die-hard Calvinist who not willing to be corrected…I believe you’re living in a ‘dark’ ‘light’... and you probably don’t even know it! Matthew 6:22-23 The eye is the lamp of the body; so then if your eye is clear, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light that is in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!

It’s one thing to have strong biblical convictions based on the Word of God! It’s another thing altogether when your ‘convictions’ come from sources outsight the LIGHT of the Truth of Scriptures! If your faith is in the doctrines of John Calvin…you’re in a really ‘dark place’! And IF you believe in a sacramental ‘Gospel’ (which is really not the Gospel of Christ at all)…you’re not even saved!

Speaking the Truth in love,

Brother Bob

One wouldn't think this would be a 'questionable' doctrine in the Church of the Living God. But it is...for some. Brethren, there are Believers in the Church who sincerely believe that EVEN IF a person (who) USED TO profess to be born-again, (but who now) chooses to openly and publicly renounce (i.e. reject) Yeshua Christ as their savior...they would still be eternally saved because they USED TO believe in the Gospel of Christ! No! I'm not making that up! Now to be fair, there are ways to convince yourself (misusing) the Scriptures that a USED TO BE Believer...who's now an Unbeliever...will still be saved from hell when they die. However...IF you listened to part one of this series I explained the biblical meanings for the English words: believe, believing, believed and believer...and they all come from ONE Greek word PISTUEO. And that Greek word has nothing to do with USED TO BE a Believer.

DEFINITIONS OF BELIEVING

STRONG'S SAYS.... BELIEVE, BELIEVES, BELIEVING BELIEVED in the Greek means to have a mental persuasion by implication, to entrust (especially one's spiritual well-being to Christ): — believe(-r), commit (to trust), be committed unto 1, be put in trust with 1, commit to one's trust. 1a; to think it to be true, to be persuaded of, to credit, place confidence in of the thing believed; to credit, have confidence; mere acknowledgment of some fact or event: intellectual faith

VINE'S SAYS to believe,” also “to be persuaded of,” and hence, “to place confidence in, to trust,” signifies, in this sense of the word, reliance upon, not mere credence (i.e. not merely something you believed in the past.)

So in other words, the general definition of BELIEVE, BELIEVES, BELIEVING and BELIEVED clearly implies CONTINUING TO BELIEVE!

IT’S BIBLICALLY LOGICAL THAT IF A PERSON NO LONGER BELIEVESWHAT THEY NEED TO BELIEVE in order to be SAVED…THEY’RE NO LONGER A BELIEVER!

It's important to note that in the New Testament, "pisteuó" carries a richer meaning than simply intellectually believing at some point in time. The word implies deep trust and continued reliance. Hence, IF you stop believing you are no longer a believer. In John 6:47 you see: “Truly, truly, I say to you, the one who believes has eternal life.” This verse both make it clear that you have to BE A believer in order to have eternal life. In English the word “believe” is a friendly word. The big question is what does it really mean to believe in Him. As I said before, every time you see the words believe, believing, believed and believes (in the New Testament) they come from the Greek word pisteuo, which means so much more than just believing something in your head. It means “believe in, to entrust, to rely on, to cling to.”
