Christian Living

There was only so much I could sit through of Bruce Wauchope’s first video before I had to cut it short. Essentially, he is of the same mind as so many others who refuse to believe they, or anyone else could go to hell, or that there even is a hell for that matter. To say he is not a Universalist is a lie. He is a “Christian” Universalist. He believes that all people will be saved through Jesus Christ. He denies the existence of an everlasting hell. He believes that the early church fathers were Universalist’s, and that the concept of eternal hell is not supported by the Bible or early Christianity. I don’t know what Bible he reads, but I am assuming it does not have nearly as many pages as mine as there are a lot of scriptures he is obviously lacking. He springboards his message using John 1:3-5 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. In his mind Jesus is the life that is in everyone. He is also the light that shines everywhere and on everyone, dispelling all darkness. It is not that the light in not understood by those remaining in the dark (i.e. true meaning of comprehended), it is that there is no one remaining in the dark because the Light of Jesus has dispelled all darkness. Those that can’t see it are merely blind to it. They may not see it, but they are still in the light. Noone is outside the light. All are saved. Here is a brief synopsis I found of his introductory message: Father, Word and Spirit will “pick up the tab” to complete their Love Story. We are forgiven before creation. They will do what is required for our inclusion in Their life. Thus, inclusion and forgiveness are give before creation and They will do what is needed to enable us to participate in their relationships. The freedom in the universe requires this approach. Who is Dr. Wauchope’s primary audience? I believe the answer can be found in the scriptures: 2 Timothy 4:3-4 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

I guess it all depends on what point it can be said that it is no longer dark out.  

Well, it seems to me that we're in agreement that God works through copies and never intended for the original writings to be preserved.  You got me to open up the scriptures again, thanks!

How does the leader of a cult make sense? It’s false teachings! Reject it and cling to the Word of God.  God is not pleased when we mix truth with error, true Christianity with false brethren and false teachers. We are to separate from evil. See 2 Corinthians 6:1-4-7:1.

Mark 16:2 (KJV) And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun. At the rising of the sun...i.e. sunrise. At sunrise it is still quite dark as the sun has just crested over the horizon. Therefore John 20:1 is quite accurate. John 20:1 (KJV) The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre.
