MY BELIEF
“Then you will know the truth, and
the truth will set you free.”
- John 8:32 (New International Version)
My
belief
in
its
entirety
is
based
upon
what
is
written
in
God’s
Holy
Word
and
I
will
address
each
aspect
of
it
as
reflected
below
under
my
“Burning
Questions”.
I
believe
that
the
Bible
is
totally
inspired
by
God
Himself
.
(2 Timothy 3:16)
I
believe
that
God
is
a
God
of
love
(1
John
4:8)
…a
love beyond the comprehension of man.
I
believe
in
the
absolute
Sovereignty
of
God
Almighty
(Psalms
115:3)
and
that
He
is
in
total
control of ALL… leaving none to man whatsoever.
I
believe
that
God
the
Father,
God
the
Son,
and
God
the
Holy
Spirit
are
all
ONE
and
the
same
Person
(Matthew
28:19)
and
that
Jesus
Christ
is
the
Living
God
(John
1:1)
,
incarnated
in
human
form
so
that
we
can
identify
ourselves
with
our
heavenly
Father
through
Him,
so
that
we
can
be
reconciled
with
our
heavenly
Father
through
Him…
and
so
that
we
can
intimately
know
our
heavenly
Father
through Him.
I
believe
that
Jesus
Christ
has
died
for
all
mankind
(2 Corinthians 5:15)
.
I
believe
that
we
have
NO
free
will
(Philippians
2:13)
, nor do we have any freedom of choice.
I
believe
that
nobody
is
accountable
for
anything…
only
God
is
accountable
for
all
(Isaiah
45:7)
in
His
incredible
grace…
grace
which
will
come
to
its
highest
expression
for
all
mankind
at
the
consummation
of
the
eons,
as
reflected
in
1
Corinthians 10:11
and
1 Corinthians 15:28
.
I
believe
that
there
is
NO
hell
of
eternal
damnation
and
that
in
the
“Lake
of
Fire
and
Brimstone”
God
will
discipline
and
purify…
as
is
reflected
in
Mark
9:49
.
Please
notice
the
“
everyone
”
in
this
verse.
Everyone
is
everyone
and
the
spiritual
purification
of
“fire,
brimstone
and
salt”
is
not
only
restricted
to
the
”fiery
lake”
mentioned
above.
No,
it
applies
to
this
life
on
earth…
as
in
the
case
of
Paul
in
1
Corinthians
11:32
,
to
Hades…
as
in
the
case
of
the
rich
man
in
Luke
16:23-24
…
and
to
the
Gehenna,
as
being
the
“lake
of
fire
and
brimstone”
in
Revelation
21:8
.
In
Mark
9:50
“peaceful
relationships”
is
connected
with
“being
salted”.
God
will
make
sure
everyone
will
get
along
with
everyone
eventually…
hence
all
of
us
will
be
salted
with
fire…
so
simple
to
understand…
however
much
an
extreme
painful
affair
in
whichever
way.
Please
also
see
Colossians
4:6
.
And
to
add…
I
believe
that
God
Himself
is
the
“
Lake
of
Fire
and
Brimstone
”
.
Please
see
Hebrews
12:29
.
He
baptises
with
the
Holy
Spirit
AND
with
fire… as is reflected in
Matthew
3:11
.
Baptism
at
its
core
means
“cleansing”…
and
cleansing
with
fire
is
a
painful
affair…
a
painful
affair
with
the
God
of
the
Bible
Himself.
All
people
will
eventually
have
a
cleansing
affair
with
Him…
one
way
or
another…
and
it
is
[and
will
be]
no
picnic.
This
affair
is
[and
will
be]
a
serious-
and
painful
business
(Hebrew
10:31)
.
God
has
business
with
ALL
of
us
in
our
own
order
(1
Corinthians
15:22-
23)
…
as
all
will
be
in
His
Presence
(verse
23,
Strong’s
#3952).
Spiritual
pain
is
far
more
painful
than
physical
pain.
Wherever
this
cleansing
encounter
with
God
is
[will
be]
taking
place
[be
it
here
on
earth,
in
Hades,
or
in
Gehenna]…
fact
remains,
it
is
and
will
be
temporary.
Death,
both
the
first-
and
second
one,
will
be
conquered
(1
Corinthians
15:26)
and
joy
will
be
the
outcome
for
ALL
mankind!
Isaiah 25:6-9
.
I
believe
ALL
God
created
to
be
GOOD
(Genesis
1:31)
…
even
Hades
/
Sheol,
where
people
are
fully
compos
mentis
(Luke
16:23-24)
;
this
place
of
darkness being a disciplinary- and preparatory stage
towards purity.
I
believe
that
God
the
‘Potter’
made
all
mankind
equally
important
…
the
‘pious’,
as
well
as
the
‘wicked’,
for
His
holy
purpose
with
all
(Proverbs
16:4)
;
the
one
being
not
more
important
than
the
other.
He
loves
Hitler
as
much
as
He
loves
Mother
Theresa…
just
to
make
my
point
here
(Romans
9:21)
.
I
believe
in
the
importance
of
the
Adversary,
of
evil
and
of
suffering
(Romans
5
:
3-5
)
,
all
three
created
by
God
for
His
good
purpose
for
all
(Romans
8:28)
...
I
believe
that
the
Bible
is
mistranslated
(Isaiah
6:10)
on
multiple
occasions
,
hence
misinterpreted,
but
that
that
is
perfectly
according
to
God’s
Plan…
just like everything else is according to His will.
And the final GOOD NEWS FOR ALL?
I believe that ALL mankind WILL be reconciled with God
eventually… and be present at His glorious eternal
Banquet!
Hallelujah
Praise His Holy Name!
To ascertain whether one’s beliefs are
justified, each one of these beliefs must give
one total peace and confidence on all levels
and in all situations. And if that is not the
case with one of the beliefs, then a red light
has gone up and the ‘drawing board of
discernment’ is calling.
If one has the Truth, then one’s boat cannot
be rocked by anyone at all… ever.
