Six Steps to The Throne Series

 

Christ did not [just] die for us. He died AS us.

  1. When He was crucified, you and your old man were Crucified.
  2. When He was buried, you and your old man were Buried.
  3. When He died, you and your old man Died.
  4. When He was quickened, you and your new man were Quickened.
  5. When He was raised, you and your new man were Raised.
  6. When He was seated, you and your new man were Seated.

You cannot effectively learn theology, be a disciple of Christ, if you are not very clear of what occurred on the Cross, and what happened to you when Christ died and rose, even while you considered God your enemy in your mind.

Every believer owes it to Him/Herself to study to foolishness of the Cross.

Here I offer the late Gary Garner's Great work "Six Steps to the Throne" for your review.

Without this foundation, nothing in the New Covenant would make sense to you. Nothing in the New Testament is wrong studying if this is not done first.

You have to count all other positions, doctrine, status, political affiliation, any previous identity as Dung, for sake of the excellency of the knowledge of Christ, that you may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death, if, by any means, you may attain to the resurrection from the dead.

The cross is the beginning of your maturity as a Disciple. If you know nothing else, know very clearly the Cross.

Have I stirred you up as yet?

Then read and study all Six Steps now.

Harpazo vs Rapture - Part 1

Image
Harpazo is different from rapture. Rapture is based on the notion that Christ comes with dead ones, picks up believers and makes a u turn and flies back up to heaven with unbelievers left behind.  It's helpful to consider Paul's word for "meeting" in this passage. It is the Greek word apantesis, which typically described the formal welcoming of a dignitary into a city. In other Greek literature, it was a term that described a great delegation that would travel to the outskirts of the city gates and beyond to receive the conquering king as he returned to the land." The Rapture counts for absurd eschatology.... And if you believe in the rapture guess who is taken? Not the righteous as you were taught but the wicked. Notice the disciples are asking "Where they were taken"... notice Christ's answer "wherever the dead bodies are for the vultures to consume" Luk 17:34 — Luk 17:37 I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the o

Is Everything According to Gods Plan? Sovereign Will Part 1

Image
Questions: Why do we pray for God's will to be done if it is always done? What am I missing? Did he not know about it after all since the beginning? So if we deliberately don't do God's will, do we say, well he knew from the beginning that this will happen anyway? Why not? It's part of His Plan! There are many times God's will is not done. God's will, is and will always be done. Both statements are true? Do you agree or not? Answers: "Sovereign Will vs Permissive Will. God will permit us to do whatever we like, but eventually His Sovereign Will will be completed. Perfectly. No matter how well we play the game of Cosmic Chess against the Master of the Universe, He will win." - Andre van der Sandt "God's will is not done because man is flawed. Man makes wrong decisions sometimes when he uses his gift of free will. In which there is a lesson he will learn that will ultimately become God's will." - Ricky Diggs "His sovereign

Narrow Gate vs Broad Way

That quote also comes from Luke 13... the ENTIRE Chapter is the context.. We can't just pull one verse to form a doctrine. This is the quote.. "Then one said to Him, “Lord, are there few who are saved?” And He said to them, 24 “ Strive to enter through the narrow gate, for many, I say to you, will seek to enter and will not be able" The question is saved from what?  is this talking about "eternal salvation"? NO.   Again context. Please make note of the following in Luke 13 The people who asked Christ this had little or no knowledge of the issues and particulars of salvation as we know it today. They were immediately reacting to Christ spreading an interesting message as he was heading towards Jerusalem. What was Christ's message? Well it started with folks pointing out that the Galileans were the most unfortunate because they had Pilate mix their blood with their sacrifices. They concluded that God judged them.  Doesn't that sound familiar with all the
