Sermon #085 - John Ch 14 - Is CHRIST the only pathway to Heaven?...
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Welcome to today's sermon.
I'm Mike Adams of the Church of Natural Abundance.
The website is abundance.church.
And as you know, if you've heard any of my sermons, you know that I'm going to challenge you to take a good hard look at your beliefs.
A good hard look at your faith.
Is your faith rooted in reality?
Or do you just believe a bunch of stuff that was told to you in Bible school and you never thought about it, you never really interpreted it, you never really checked it to see whether it's consistent?
Because, you know, real Christians are amazing people.
And when I say real, I mean Christians who are serious about their faith and serious about their study of Scripture.
But there's a whole lot of fake Christians out there who, they don't even really have a consistent belief system.
And they've never really looked at their beliefs.
So let me give you an example that might be relevant to you.
And by the way, this might be offensive to some Christians.
So what?
They need to be challenged.
In Texas, near Houston, there was erected just a few months ago a giant 90-foot monkey sculpture that This is called the Pran Pratishta Ceremony.
A 90-foot tall Hanuman statue was inaugurated, the third tallest statue in the United States.
It's called the Statue of Union.
And let's see, it commemorates, this is a part of the Hindu religion, I believe, commemorates Lord Hanuman's role in reuniting Sri Rama and Sita.
I'm reading from a news story here, the Hindustan Times.
It's been built at the Sri Ashtalakshmi Temple in Sugar Land, Texas, And the visionary behind the project is, quote, His Holiness Sri Chinajiyar Swamiji.
And a quote about this is, quote, this is an opportunity for us as a community to etch a path for future generations to seek the divine blessings of Lord Hanuman, says the website.
So it's a 90-foot tall, half-monkey, half-human bronze statue.
Kind of looks golden.
In the right light.
So it's like a giant gold idol of a monkey man.
And it says here, quote, let's continue to create a world filled with love, peace, and devotion.
So this is a statue for peace, according to, let's see, the Hindu American Foundation.
Okay.
So, of course, the first thing that happened when this statue went up is that some Very strict Christian groups showed up and began to, let's say, pray slash protest.
And I don't mean violently protesting or anything like that.
My understanding is some Christian groups showed up, they were praying, and they were challenging people and saying that Christ is the only way.
There is only Christ.
There's no monkey man that will get you into heaven, they say.
Only Christ will get you into heaven.
And of course, they're probably quoting John chapter 14, verse 6.
And this is a conversation between Jesus and Thomas.
And in verse 6, it says, Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life.
No one comes to the Father except through me.
Now, taken by itself, that verse seems to indicate that the only way that anybody can get to heaven is by worshiping Christ himself.
Now, obviously, we are going to expand the reading of John 14, and you're going to learn some additional things if you don't already recall them.
However, I was having a conversation with a person recently who had the same belief.
And they said, Jesus is the only way to the Lord.
The only way.
It has to be through Jesus.
And so, of course, because I like to ask people questions and I like to challenge people's theology.
Because, you know, otherwise, if you don't know what you believe, then you don't really believe much.
If your beliefs aren't rooted in introspection, then they're not really much of a belief, are they?
So I asked this person, I said, well, if you believe that the only way to heaven is through Christ, then you're saying that everybody who does not recognize Christ as their Savior is going to hell, correct?
Right.
And the answer is yes.
I said, so you believe that all the Jews are going to hell?
Because the Jews, in Judaism, they do not recognize Christ.
Not even his existence.
It's certainly not Christ as their Savior.
So I ask that question.
So you believe all Jews are going to hell?
And there was pause in that answer because, let's be honest, a lot of people, a lot of Christians are really Let's say a lot of Zionist-supporting Christians have a lot of hypocrisy.
They say Jesus is the only way, but then they support Zionism, which does not recognize Jesus, and Zionism is a philosophy of ethnic supremacy that says that Jews are the chosen race, chosen by God to be superior to all other races.
Well, that would mean that Jews are superior to Christ as well.
And that Jews are superior to all Christians.
And that Jews are superior to all...
Now, remember, the term Jewish refers to both an ethnicity and a religious practice.
It's almost synonymous, although I realize all people of Jewish ethnicity do not actively practice Judaism, and there are some ethnic Jews that practice Christianity, of course.
But By and large, it is a synonymous understanding that to be Jewish, to be faithful to your Jewish tradition, means to practice Judaism and to be of Jewish ethnicity, which means that those people reject Christ by definition.
Because they don't even study the New Testament.
They don't study, they don't believe in the existence of Christ.
And of course, it was the ancient Israeli religious leaders that demanded the death of Christ.
And it was because of the Jews that Christ was killed.
You know, the crucifixion that was demanded by the Jewish leaders or the Israeli religious leaders and the scribes and the elders.
It's all written in the Bible, by the way, of course.
So you have a lot of Christians in America today who mock the 90-foot monkey statue.
They say Jesus is the only way, but then they advocate for Zionism to commit mass death and genocide against people of Islam in the Middle East, even though Zionism rejects Christ, while Islam recognizes Jesus Christ as a prophet and And a messenger of God.
Isn't that interesting?
So, no, seriously, you have Christians who don't know anything about Judaism and they don't know anything about Islam.
In fact, I would say the vast majority of mainstream Christians don't know much of anything about Christianity.
But they certainly don't know anything about Judaism and they don't know anything about Islam.
And so they don't know that Jews reject Christ.
And so when they say themselves that Christ is the only way, they are saying that all Jews go to hell and that all practitioners of Islam go to hell.
That's what they're saying, that Christ is the only way.
So even in that, however, they misread the John chapter 14.
You know, what do you know?
Christians misread the Bible, huh?
Yeah.
And the sun comes up every day too, you know?
So if you read more than one sentence in John chapter 14, you realize that Jesus is talking as the Lord when he says that.
So he's actually saying that I, the Lord, I am the way, the truth, and the life.
That he is the Lord saying this, okay?
So verse 7, Jesus says, If you had known me, you would have known my Father also.
And from now on, you know him and have seen him.
And what is implied is because you have seen me.
Verse 8, Philip said to him, Lord, show us the Father, and it is sufficient for us.
You know, Philip is saying, prove to us that you are tied to the Lord.
Verse 9, Jesus said to him, check this out, have I been with you so long and yet you have not known me, Philip?
He who has seen me has seen the Father.
Because Jesus is saying that I am the Lord.
I represent the Lord.
So how can you say, show us the Father?
Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father in me?
The words that I speak to you, I do not speak on my own authority, but the Father who dwells in me does the works.
In other words, when Jesus says, I am the way, the truth, and the life, he's speaking as the Lord.
The Lord is saying, I am the way, the truth, and the life.
No one comes to heaven except through me, in essence, is what he is saying.
And then in verse 11, Jesus says, Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father in me, or else believe me for the sake of the works themselves.
Okay?
So Jesus is the personification of God.
Jesus is the ambassador of God to the Middle East in that time, in that era.
God created Jesus in a human form through, of course, immaculate conception and gave him a little piece of God's spirit and made Jesus look like the people of the Middle East so that he would fit in among them.
And this is why the Roman soldiers couldn't even figure out which one was Jesus when he was being betrayed by Judas, as you may recall.
They're like, which one's Jesus?
They all look the same, you know?
So Jesus looked exactly like everybody else.
Well, let me ask you this question.
You certainly would agree that God has the power to create his son, Jesus, in any image that he wants, right?
Right?
God could technically have created Jesus to be more God-looking, maybe?
Could have made him 15 feet tall?
Could have had him glowing all the time?
Maybe, and I say this kind of mockingly, he could have made him a 90-foot monkey, you know?
No.
But my point is, in all seriousness, he didn't have to make Jesus look like the people of that area, did he?
No, he chose to do that on purpose.
But surely we all recognize that God can appear, He can send ambassadors to any group of people at any time, in any civilization, anywhere on earth or on other planets, and that He has the power, He the Lord has the power to do that whenever He wishes, and that He can make that ambassador appear in any form whatsoever.
And that ambassador could appear in other forms that don't look like a Middle Eastern person.
So, at least theoretically, isn't it possible that God could have sent an ambassador to the people of India or the people of Mesoamerica or the people of ancient China?
Because all of those civilizations, of course, existed at the same time as the Old Testament in the Bible.
You know, the Middle East wasn't the only region in the world with people in it.
There were other civilizations at the same time.
So if you believe that Jesus is the only way, then not only do you believe that all Jews are going to hell, which is absurd, but you would also believe that all the other people that are from the other civilizations,
India, Chinese, Mesoamerican, etc., that all those people are going to hell too, Especially the ones that were born before modern communications because they did not even have the opportunity to know who Christ was because Christ wasn't taught in those countries, in those religions, in those regions.
So if you believe that Jesus Christ is the only way, then you believe that God's children all over the world who lived all throughout history, including the Jews, And maybe close to 100 billion other people who live throughout the world, you believe that God condemned them all to hell, even if they were holy people.
Even the holiest of holy Jews, the greatest, most holy, unselfish, ungreedy Jew that ever lived, the nicest Jew in the world, God would send him to hell because he did not know Christ?
Some Christians believe that.
Of course, I say it's absurd.
That's absurd.
I believe that holy Jews, Jews who are good people, who follow the teachings of God, I believe they go to heaven.
And I believe that good people in China go to heaven, and good people in India go to heaven, and good people in South America go to heaven, good people in Russia go to heaven, etc., And that that also applies before the age of Christ.
So it's not possible that Christ is the only way to heaven.
Otherwise, how do you explain all these people who were born and died before Christ?
And how do you explain Judaism?
Unless you're going to condemn all Jews to hell, which sounds kind of anti-Semitic if you do that, doesn't it?
Like, you're all going to burn in hell just because you're Jews.
Really?
Is that your belief?
If you're a Christian, do you believe that?
Well, if you believe that, and I'm asking this rhetorically to sort of the mainstream Christians, if you believe all Jews are going to hell, why are you supporting the Jews in Israel to bomb Palestinians who mostly believe in Islam, where Islam actually believes in the existence of Christ, but Jews don't?
See?
You see the conundrum in all of this.
And this is where I lose some people because they're, oh, no, I can't handle that.
No, I'm just going to go back to what I was taught in Bible study, what I was taught in my church.
We don't worry about details like that, you know.
We just sing hymns and we tithe money and we read some scriptures, but not the ones you're talking about.
We don't read those scary scriptures.
We just read the really convenient ones that everybody agrees with because we're woke.
Yeah.
Yeah, there's a lot of churches like that.
There's a lot of Christians like that who don't want to look at their beliefs.
They don't want to be challenged.
And they'll say, you know, interesting things.
Like, well, you can't challenge our belief because it's in the Bible.
Well, I just quoted the Bible.
I just quoted John chapter 14.
But people aren't going to be happy with that either.
So if you're wondering, if you're asking the question, well, do Jews go to heaven?
Does it say that anywhere in the Bible?
Does it say Jews go to heaven or are they all banished to hell?
Well, if you read 2 Kings chapter 2, it talks about Elijah ascending to heaven.
2 Kings 2, verse 1.
And it came to pass when the Lord was about to take up Elijah into heaven by a whirlwind that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal.
Then Elijah said to Elisha, this is like a tongue twister, stay here please for the Lord has sent me on to Bethel.
And then this chapter goes on and talks about whether the Lord sent me here and then the Lord sends me there and then the Lord sends me to this other place and we have this other work to do over here.
And then Elijah just vanishes, by the way.
No one can find him.
And it's assumed that he was lifted into heaven.
He ascended into heaven.
Verse 17,"'Therefore they sent fifty men, and they searched for three days, but did not find him.
And when they came back to him, for he had stayed in Jericho, he said to them,"'Did I not say to you, do not go?' The spirit of Elijah rests on Elisha.
That's from verse 15.
So part of the point in all of this is to get you to think about your beliefs.
Do you think that Christ is the only way, or do good people who do not worship Christ, do good people go to heaven?
Do good Jews go to heaven?
Do good Buddhists go to heaven?
Do good Hindus go to heaven?
Or are they all sent to hell by the rules of God, even though he created them in his image?
Because all human beings are children of God.
So do you think God sends his own children to hell if they fail to recognize Christ, even if they lived and died before Christ existed?
See, there's a question for you.
Because I would say, if you believe that, then you need to look hard at your beliefs because they do not compute.
Furthermore, the two most wicked, evil nations on planet Earth right now, carrying out the most violence, the most genocide, the most war crimes, and funding the most terrorism, are, well, the Christian nation of the United States and the biblical nation of Israel.
So here we have an example of two nations founded, supposed to be founded in biblical principles, that are the most wicked nations on earth right now, causing the most suffering and death and slaughter, which is exactly the opposite of what Christ taught.
So if you are a Christian, you cannot endorse these actions by Israel.
You cannot because they are contradictory to the teachings of Christ.
In other words, you cannot both be a Christian and be a supporter of what Israel is doing today.
They are contradictory beliefs.
You also cannot be a supporter of Israel and its genocide and mass bombing campaigns today and be a good person in the eyes of God.
Because God despises violence.
We did a whole sermon on this.
God despises violence and he says that those who espouse violence will burn in hell.
So if you are someone who espouses violence and you think that violence is the answer and you support the mass slaughter of especially civilians, women and children, the destruction of infrastructure, And right now, Israel has not only bombed hospitals and water treatment facilities, they're bombing banks.
Pretty soon, they'll be bombing grocery stores in Lebanon just to deny people infrastructure.
And Israel has blocked food aid trucks and launched missiles at food aid workers in order to cause famine and starvation among the children of Palestine.
Are those the actions of a nation that is endorsed by God?
Or endorsed by Christ?
No.
Neither one.
So if you endorse Israel's actions, you are not a person of Christ, you are not a person of the Lord, and you do not qualify to go to heaven.
So think hard about your belief systems because it all counts.
You will be judged at the end of your days, whenever that day comes.
You'll be judged by your book of life.
You will be judged according to a code of behavior and ethics that is well defined in the Bible.
That code of behavior opposes violence, opposes bloodshed and suffering.
That code of behavior requires recognizing the human dignity in others.
It requires helping those in need.
It requires charity and forgiveness.
Of course it allows for actual self-defense if an invader comes to your home or your town or even your nation.
You are allowed to push that invader out of your home or your town or your nation.
You are allowed to use whatever means of self-defense to eliminate those invaders.
You are not allowed to go bomb other countries and go out and kill everybody around you like your neighbors do.
In your neighborhood or on a national level, you're not allowed to just go start bombing into oblivion all the surrounding lands that is not Christ-like, that is not allowed by God.
All those who engage in those activities will burn in hell by definition.
That's what the Bible teaches.
Don't forget what King David, a Jew, wrote in Psalm 11.
The Lord is in His holy temple.
The Lord's throne is in heaven.
His eyes behold.
His eyelids test the sons of men.
The Lord tests the righteous.
But the wicked and the one who loves violence, His soul hates.
The Lord hates those who espouse violence.
In other words, upon the wicked He will rain coals.
Fire and brimstone and a burning wind shall be the portion of their cup.
For the Lord is righteous.
He loves righteousness.
His countenance beholds the upright.
So if you are one who loves violence, you are condemned by the Lord as wicked and you will be condemned to a death by fire and brimstone.
Yeah, that doesn't sound like fun.
But if you are a good person, the Lord honors you.
He honors you.
And, by the way, of course, all of this is written before Christ, before Christ even came into existence.
So, there's nothing here in the writings of King David, or King Solomon for that matter, there's nothing in the writings that says Christ is the only way.
Christ didn't exist.
Correct?
Correct?
You do know the timeline of the Bible, right?
King Solomon is believed to have been born a thousand years before Christ.
A thousand years.
Yep.
So, obviously, unless you think all those people went to hell, Christ cannot be the only way.
What's clear in all the teachings of the Bible, Old Testament and New, is that the pathway to heaven is created by being a good person in alignment with the teachings of the Lord, which were further refined with the teachings of Christ, right?
So, If you follow what Christ taught, yes, that is a pathway to heaven.
If you lived before Christ, or if you lived in a part of the world where you never even heard of Christ, because there wasn't internet, there wasn't a printing press, but if you were a good person who practiced your behavior in a way that is in alignment with what the Lord teaches, guess what?
You go to heaven, too.
You realize that, right?
That people can go to heaven who don't even know about the Bible.
People can go to heaven just by being good people if their behavior is aligned with what God demands.
And there are people who are not Christians that have figured this out.
Now, granted, most people will not go to heaven, but that's true of most Christians because the Most Christians are not actually consistent with the teachings of Christ, are they?
Like the ones promoting Zionism and genocide.
They're not going to heaven.
They're all going to burn in hell.
But there are non-Christians who are better people than the Christians who support Zionism.
Those non-Christians, if they are good people, they will go to heaven.
Think about that.
So many Christians will go to hell.
Some non-Christians will go to heaven.
What's the determining factor?
It's whether they were good people.
And by good, I mean good as defined by God.
Old Testament, Moses, Ten Commandments.
That's a pretty good starting point.
But throughout the Bible, it's very clear what being good is.
And you know what else is interesting about being a good person?
There's a description of being good in every major world religion.
Every religion, from Islam to Buddhism to Hinduism, Sikhism, I mean, I don't know all the world religions, Judaism and Catholicism and so on.
Every world religion has a reference of what is a good person.
And sometimes it's scattered throughout their writings, like even in the Bible.
It's all scattered throughout.
You have many, many examples of what it means to be a good person.
But can you be a good person without reading the Bible?
Yes.
Yes, you can.
Can you qualify for heaven without reading the Bible?
Yes, you can.
Can you qualify for heaven without even knowing about the existence of Jesus Christ?
Yes, you can.
Because if you don't believe that, like I said earlier, then you think all Jews are going to hell, and that's absurd.
All Jews are not going to hell.
They don't believe in Christ at all.
But those who are good people will also go to heaven.
A lot of Christians get caught up in the semantics of all this.
Well, you have to use the right words, you know?
No, you don't.
Actually, you don't.
God doesn't care what words you use.
You know why?
Because God speaks every language.
Of course He does.
God speaks every language.
God speaks to lots of people in their own language.
I mean, even in the Bible, there were many different languages that the prophets spoke or that they understood.
The angels spoke different languages to different people at different times, didn't they?
God speaks different languages.
It's not all English, that's for sure.
English didn't even exist.
So it's not English.
So what is it?
It's whatever language the person understood.
That's what God used to speak to them, obviously.
I mean, God can also speak not just Hebrew and Latin and Greek, but Assyrian, you know?
Obviously, God can speak all the languages, and He did.
People across every culture of the world have had contact with our Creator throughout history.
God has spoken to many different people in many different ways.
It's not just limited to those people in the Middle East.
Why would God only speak to people in the Middle East?
Why?
Why would God have a regional limitation?
Why would God create earth and create people in China and India and Central and South America?
Why would God create all these people but only talk to one group?
He wouldn't.
That would be absurd.
Especially when God can simultaneously talk to as many people as he wants in as many different languages as he wants.
And so I say that he did and he does.
God speaks to people today, all across the world, in many different ways, in many different languages.
The question is, not what language does he speak, but the question is, are you listening to him?
Or are you stuck in the certain vocabulary of the one way that you were taught, and nobody else can have any variation of that teaching?
Are you stuck in this idea that Christ is the only way to know the Lord?
Christ is the only way to heaven.
If you're stuck in that, you've got problems with your relationship with God.
You really do.
You really do.
You need to think about all of history.
You need to think about the whole world and also other planets because God didn't just create life on one planet.
He created an entire cosmos.
So you think there aren't living beings on other planets who are also children of God?
I mean, that's That's a very small-minded point of view, to think that Earth is the only planet with conscious beings in the whole cosmos.
Why would God create billions of galaxies, each of which contains billions of stars?
We're talking about billions upon billions.
Why would you think that he would only put life on Earth, and then on Earth, why would you think he would only talk to one group in the Middle East?
That's insane, to think that God would be so small-minded.
If he only wanted one group to talk to, why would he create all these other galaxies?
And clearly, Christ isn't the only way to know God because people on other planets, they can't know Christ because Christ only lived on Earth.
And in fact, Christ only lived on one part of Earth, which is the Middle East, and only in one time, which our calendar is based on.
And if you lived outside of that time or outside of that region, you never heard of Christ.
But you're still a child of God.
You still qualify for heaven if you're a good person.
Okay?
So if you're the creator of the cosmos, what are you going to do?
You're going to send ambassadors to all the different planets, right?
So there's a Jesus Christ on earth.
There's another version of Jesus on, you know, planet X or whatever the other planets are with other stars, other forms of life.
You're going to send an ambassador to That is a son of God.
So God has many sons, one son for each son, get it?
The son of the solar system gets a son of God.
So every planet that has life gets another son of God.
That's the ambassador from God that speaks for God and teaches that group of people to try to be good people and to understand they were created by God, you know, to be good.
I don't know if they're people.
Maybe it's like, you know, Floating octopi on like a gas planet or something.
Maybe Jesus is a floating octopus on a gas planet.
Why is that so bizarre to think of?
Of course, the ambassador of God would appear to the locals in the way that they appear, in the way that they are.
You wouldn't send a Middle Eastern bearded, long-haired guy from the earth-looking guy to the floating octopus Gas giant octopus creatures, they would flip out.
Like, who is this?
You know?
You would send an ambassador who looks like them, because God obviously can do that, and he can speak their language, and he can look like them.
And he would do that all over the cosmos.
Right?
This is not a bizarre idea.
I mean, unless you think God didn't create the whole cosmos, But if God created everything, then he created life in the universe.
And if he created life, then he created life on every planet where there is life.
Did he not?
And if he created all those forms of life on all those planets, then obviously he knows about them, and he knows that they take different forms.
And if he wants to speak to them, he's going to speak to them in their language and appear to them in their bodies, you know, in their physical form.
Which is what he did with Jesus in the Middle East and even on Earth.
Wouldn't it make sense for him to appear in another form to other civilizations on Earth or in other times even?
Of course it would.
God could come here today and show up as a person and just appear as a person anywhere on the planet and be an ambassador of God.
You think Christ is the last ambassador that he will ever send?
I don't know.
I don't know if he's going to send another.
He'll probably send the comets first because Earth has become so wicked and sinful.
But it's theoretically possible that God could send another ambassador to Earth.
And Islam believes that he did.
Islam believes that that ambassador's name is Muhammad, by the way.
See?
So, in fact, Islam says that The Koran is just the third part of the Bible.
You've got the Old Testament that the Jews practice.
You've got the New Testament that the Christians believe.
And then you've got the newer part, written like six centuries later, which is Islam with Muhammad.
So people of Islam say, well, God sent another prophet or another savior, Muhammad.
See?
So, folks, you've got to open your mind a little bit About what God's capable of.
And translate what you've been taught into a much more mature thinking about the way God operates.
Believe me, Earth is not the only planet with life on it.
Jesus is not the only pathway to God.
And Jesus is not the only appearance of God either.
I mean, clearly, God spoke to other prophets in the Old Testament.
God spoke to Moses.
How did God speak to Moses if Jesus is the only way that you can?
No.
So yeah, some Christians, like narrow-minded Christians, will totally flip out when they hear this stuff.
But you're just not thinking big enough.
So the bottom line is, you see, I believe in a big God.
I believe in a creator of the entire cosmos.
I believe that God is all-powerful.
I don't think God is so limited and small and tiny-minded that he only created one planet with life, and he only sent an ambassador to one continent.
Really?
He created the whole cosmos, but he could only send one ambassador to one region?
No, don't think so.
I believe in a big God, not a small God, not a tiny God.
I believe in a big picture creator, not a very limited, small-minded, I don't know, governor.
So, but everybody's got their choice.
Now, the teachings of the Bible are all true.
The Bible teaches truth about morality and The Bible teaches truth about what God says and truth in the form of Jesus, God's ambassador, God's son, coming to earth to try to teach people to be good people.
And what did humanity do?
They murdered him.
What do you think God thinks about that?
Yeah, not too thrilled about that.
Of all the planets in the cosmos where God sent an ambassador, what percentage of the planets do you think murdered God's son?
What do you think?
Like, maybe only 5%?
I mean, I'm just guessing.
There's no way for us to know.
But I'm guessing most civilizations did not murder the Son of God.
They did not murder the ambassador of the Creator.
But Earth did.
Earth did.
And then, is it any wonder that then the book of Revelation talks about Earth being reset with seven comets?
Completely obliterated because human civilization has turned so wicked?
Is it possible that God actually sent the comets on the day that Jesus was crucified and the comets ever since have just been on their way?
Because what is time to the Lord?
You know, a couple thousand years, rocks floating around in outer space.
That's nothing.
God is timeless.
He doesn't care about a couple thousand years, but they might be, you know, a week away from At this point, or a decade away, who knows?
Or a year away, nobody knows.
But is it possible that God has a rule that if I send my son to a planet to try to teach people morality, if they murder my son, then I reset the planet?
Could that be one of God's rules?
Possibly.
That would kind of make sense.
Wouldn't you do the same thing?
If you were the creator running a simulation and you created like 100 billion civilizations, planets of life in the cosmos, or maybe more than 100 billion, any planets that just murdered your ambassador, wouldn't you just reset those planets?
Not worth the time trying to educate these wicked people.
Wouldn't you just reset it?
How do you reset it?
Giant space rocks.
Yeah.
Seven trumpets.
And just as a courtesy, wouldn't you send a warning to somebody like John of Patmos?
Like, hey, John, write this down.
Blip, blip, blip, blip.
Seven trumpets.
Seven bowls.
Boom.
This is what's going to happen.
Just as a courtesy, letting y'all know that this is what happens when you murder the Son of God.
And you also are nothing but wicked people.
Guess what happens to you?
Giant space rocks come and they collide with your planet.
So here's a heads up, just a little courtesy warning.
Yeah, book of Revelation, Matthew 24.
Jesus even knew about it.
Jesus talked to Matthew about it.
He said, yeah, you know, this is coming.
All the comets are going to fall out of the sky.
All the mountains are going to be leveled.
He talks about it.
He just says, I don't know exactly when that's going to happen, but this is what my father said is coming.
Interesting.
Something to think about.
I know a lot of real conservative pro-Zionist Christian pastors will say, well, this is heresy.
This is blasphemy.
No, those people are going to hell.
They've already proven that.
They're going to hell.
They don't teach the Word of Christ.
I really make an effort to teach moral behavior, to share the idea that we should be good people.
We should promote peace.
We should promote charity.
We should promote selflessness.
We should help others.
We should recognize basic human dignity.
We should live with the principles that are taught in the Bible.
That is your gateway to heaven.
But some people don't like any departure from what they learned in Bible school.
Well, sorry, guess what?
You know what?
The Bible is its own document, and it's not owned.
It's not copyrighted by some megachurch, thank God.
So no one person can lay claim to what the Bible says or what it means.
What's fascinating to me is that The Bible, the lessons of the Bible, the seven comets, the trumpets, the seals, the obliteration of human civilization, it is written into every Christian Bible that exists on this planet because it's right there in the Scripture.
We've covered it.
It's in Revelation.
It's in Matthew.
It's in, frankly, it's even in parts of Daniel and parts of Joel and parts of Zephaniah and so on.
It's in the Old Testament and New.
It's in Ezekiel.
It's all right there.
So everybody that has a Bible already has a record of what God said is coming.
They just don't want to read it.
Or they don't want to believe it.
They don't want to look at the words and accept them.
They would rather live in a delusional world where they pretend that God loves everybody unconditionally and everything's going to be okay and we don't have to worry because our church teaches leadership skills and universal love.
Even God doesn't teach universal love.
God teaches conditional love.
You either obey God or you burn in hell.
That's clear.
It's written right there in the Bible.
Everybody's copy of the Bible says the same thing.
God's love is conditional.
Your survival, the survival of your soul is conditional on you being a good person.
That's the number one takeaway from the Bible.
Almost any version, King James Version, whatever.
The number one lesson is you want to go to heaven, be a good person.
If you're not a good person, you'll burn in hell.
End of story.
And then the Bible tells you a thousand different ways to either be a good person or be a wicked person, and it gives you all kinds of stories of all the different characters throughout history being either good people or wicked people.
And then you get to learn from that and say, oh, I can make a choice.
What do you want to be?
Well, that's an individual choice.
See?
God believes in libertarianism, in essence, because he gives you a choice.
You can choose whatever outcome you want.
You can choose to burn in hell, or you can choose to enter heaven.
And it's all written right there in the Bible.
And as a species, humanity has chosen to be destroyed.
But fortunately, your soul is bulletproof and cometproof, so you get to choose what happens to your soul after human civilization is obliterated by God himself.
Interesting, isn't it?
So, by the way, just to wrap this up, probably don't worship 90-foot golden monkeys.
That's probably not going to help you.
I mean, it's a clown show if you want to do it on Halloween or something.
That's your choice, but I'm not going to waste time with that kind of garbage.
I'm going to practice moral behavior.
I'm going to teach the Bible.
I'm going to teach Scripture.
I'm going to teach the lessons of God.
I'm going to work to try to influence people to be good people.
I'm going to call out evil and wickedness and violence.
And at the end of my life, I will transition out of this world with a smile on my face, knowing that I did everything that God demanded of me to not just be a good person, but try to share the idea of being a good person.
And that's all that we can do at the end of the day.
However we go, if we go from natural causes or if we go from a trumpet number three, No matter how we go, you want to go in good standing with God.
So between now and then, focus on that.
Build up your currency with God.
Build up your spiritual inheritance.
Be a good person.
Don't be a wicked person.
Don't be a Zionist.
Don't be a supremacist, which is what Zionism is.
Don't be a genocidal lunatic.
Don't call for slaughter.
Don't look the other way as children and women are bombed to death.
Be a good person.
That is your only path to heaven.
It is your only path.
That is the way.
Be a good person.
Everything in your soul depends on it.
Thank you for listening.

Abundance.church is the website if you dare to listen to the other sermons.
And there are more coming because this is only, what, 84 or something out of 100.
So we have at least 15 more sermons yet to come.
This is going to be really exciting.
Wait till I start quoting the Quran, because that's coming too.
You're going to hear some things there that will...
Like, if you're infested with demons, your head will spin around like the exorcist.
Yeah.
But if you're open-minded, you're going to learn some amazing things because you'll find out the Koran and the Book of Revelation have a lot in common.
That's right.
Okay.
We'll get to that soon.
Until then, God bless you all.
