Who will the Grace-Butters allow into heaven?



 NOT EVEN GRACE-BUTTING

Mr. Grace-Butter Gatekeeper.

For people who believe the Bible is inspired, infallible, error-less and for the most part to be interpreted literally, man-made religion with its denominated doctrines and religious-influenced interpretations reigns supreme as the means to which people relate to God.

Let's assume that the God that religion has invented is correct and really has the following characteristics.

The mad God.
The God to fear.
The Santa Clause God.
The celebrity God.
The money grabbing God.
The Jealous God.
The God who takes offense.
The hating God.
The God of Judgement.
The condemning God.
The disappointed God.
The denominated God.
The grudge holding God.
The loveless God.
The uncaring God.
The compassion-less God.
The needing help God.
The performance demanding God.
The hell fire and brimstone God.

Although we could go on, let's stop there.

Assume that we are in the judgement to determine who gets to enter into heaven or not. This religious God decides to install "Mr Grace-Butter" as the Gatekeeper.

Grace-Butters believe a gospel where you are saved by grace and not of works...BUT, you prove and maintain the saved position by living up to the standard of the Law and religious performance. If you fail to do the do's and not do the don'ts of the standards set and don't repent you are disqualified as a child of God and heaven won't be your home.

Mr. Grace-Butter Gatekeeper...some of the ones who stands before you hoping to gain access to heaven has scummed to one or more of the sins listed below after they have said the sinner's prayer and are born again but did not get to repent as you define repentance. Others did not because the either could not repent because they knew not of such a thing.

Hypocrites...The Unforgiving...Homosexuals...Fornicators...The Wicked...The Covetous...The Malicious...The Envious...Murderers...The Deceitful...Backbiters...Haters of God...The De-spiteful...The Proud...Boasters...Inventors of evil...Disobedient to parents...Covenant breakers...The Unmerciful...The Implacable...The Unrighteous...Idolaters...Adulterers...The Effeminate...Thieves...Drunkards...Reviler...Extortioners...The Fearful...The Unbelieving...The Abominable...Whore-mongers...Sorcerers...All liars...People who don't in Bible infallibility and without error but are a Jesus follower...People who don't go to "church" on Sundays...People who don't believe in an eternal torture chamber of hell...People who didn't  believe in a future 7 year tribulation period...people who did not believe in a flesh and blood antichrist...People who did not believe that the Jewish people were God's prophetic time clock...Infants who die without being born again...teenagers who die before they repented...the billions who have died and never heard the name of Jesus...the billions who have died and never knew there was a gospel, let alone hearing it...the mentally challenged who cannot grasp the gospel... again we could go on and on.

So Mr. Gate-Butter Gatekeeper...who will make it into heaven based on the characteristic of the religions God stated at the beginning of the article and your belief that narrow is the road the leads to heaven and few there be that travel it but, broad is the road the leads to hell and many there be that travel it?

Maybe instead of singing:

Heaven is a Wonderful place
Filled with Glory and Grace
I am going to see my Savior's face
Heaven is a wonderful Place

We should have been singing;

Heaven is a lonely place
Because of grace-plus-works, people could not keep pace
I won't see my Savior's face because of hyper-grace
Heaven has a lot of empty space, rendering it a lonely place

Or;

Hell is a popular place
Filled with people of Hyper-Grace
They thought they were going to see their savior's face
Instead they met the devil face to face

What do you think...Do I muse too much?

DO NOT FORSAKE THE ASSEMBLING OF YOURSELVES TOGETHER! by David Yeubanks

“Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together" (Hebrews 10:25), is a common verse cited by Christians who believe that if you're not attending weekly meetings or plugged in a church denomination that you are somehow out of sync with Scripture and, for all practical purposes, "backsliding". Some refer to the out of church crowd as rebels, or the walking wounded and this verse is often given as the prescription. But is "attending church" really what the author of Hebrews had in mind here? YES THE BIBLE SAY’S NOT TO FORSAKE THE ASSEMBLING TOGETHER? NOTICE IT DOES NOT SAY DO NOT FORSAKE THE "ASSEMBLY" OR CHURCH BUILDING. First of all, it is essential that we understand the meaning of the word "church" as it is used in the Bible. These comments, while being historically and biblically sound, are not meant to suggest that Christians should not meet together, share fellowship, pray or preach the Word of God. If that is the conclusion

The Abusive Tool of Fear-Mongering.

Image
  Fear mongering is an abusive tool used by religion which cripples and limits one's spiritual growth to mature to the full stature of Christ. The fear mongering propaganda that is used as a means to get people saved speaks volumes about the quality of love used to try and scare people to become Christ followers. The scriptures declare that is is the “goodness of God that leads to repentance.” Another characteristic of  fear mongering believers is that they believe that natural disasters are God’s doing and are warnings or punishment for the sin of sinning people. Their sin consciousnesses has blurred their God consciousnesses to where they see God as the big bad wolf waiting to pounce on somebody for sinning. Natural disasters have happened at different times throughout history. Theses events have been used by money hungry fear-mongers to write books of impending doom, passed of as the gospel by using out-of-context scripture verses to validate the acceptance and sale of t

A Bloggers Take on "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" and "Hell".

HAPPY DADS AND THE HORRORS OF HELL by Jeff Turner Jonathan Edwards once said the following words: “Reprobate infants are vipers of vengeance, which Jehovah will hold over hell, in the tongs of his wrath, till they turn and spit venom in his face!” Elsewhere, Edwards asked the question: “Can the believing father in Heaven be happy with his unbelieving children in Hell?” Now, a bit of clarification: Edwards is not referring to God when he speaks of the “believing father in Heaven”. Rather, he is speaking an earthly father who enters Heaven, while His children are sentenced to an eternity in Hell. One would assume that Edwards’ answer to this question would be something akin to, “Nay! And a thousand times nay!”. Unfortunately, his answer was as follows: “…it [the sight of his children in Hell] will increase rather than diminish his bliss.” To be honest with you, I’m not sure if I’ve ever read more demonic, and putrid words in all of my life. I have a level of respec
