50 of the Most Misunderstood Verses in the Bible (Part 1 & 2) - 50 Verses which many Christians stumble over and have been misunderstood

2 Peter 3:9 – 2 Peter 3:9 has been used and abused by the Free Will movement to try and prove that God wants everyone saved when the Scriptures themselves show that atonement is limited to those whom God has named before the foundation of the world.  This verse speaks of God not willing any of the Elect to perish since it is His will to save all those whom He has named.

Abrahamic Covenants – A contrast between the physical and eternal covenants of Abraham as given to him by God.  Helps to understand the differences which have become quite confusing by today’s theology. 

Adam and Eve: Fear or Repentance – A lesson in free will and how it cannot lead to repentance.

Age of Accountability – There is a standard teaching which permeates the free will movement and is basically taught by 99% of churches and that is the Age of Accountability which basically teaches that a child is under the blood of Christ till a certain age, which differs for each child, until that child sins and understands they have sinned.  Then they are no longer under the blood of Christ unless they become saved.  If you ask a free willer where this doctrine is found in Scripture, they will be hard pressed to find it.  They will have to spin philosophy and personal belief to maintain this teaching.

Agree to Disagree - What does it REALLY mean?

All always means All - The word "all" in scripture must be defined by its context and taken as a blanket term.

Allegorical Method of Interpretation – During the time period of 2001-2011 Harold Camping had declared that the churches were dead and all had to come out of them.  In this article, he lauds the heretic church father Origen because of his use of allegory.  Camping abused allegory to make the Bible subject to his beliefs.

Allegory - Its Use and Abuse – Allegory has been used over the centuries to compare certain Scriptures with other parts of Scriptures.  It has also been used to show that some items or events in Scripture are a representation of other things such as “Lion” is used to describe Christ.  Joseph was a type of Christ.  Allegory can also be abused to make Scripture say what it does not, making the teaching subject to the teacher bringing the false lesson.

Annihilation: For What Saith The Scriptures? – For many years the Watchtower Society and others have been pushing annihilation which means after a person faces Christ on Judgment Day, instead of eternal punishment for being unsaved, they will just be annihilated, ceasing to exist.  This teaching gained prominence from about 2001-2011 when Harold Camping of Family Radio adopted this teaching and began propagating it resulting in many biblically weak Christians believing it.

Assumptive Hermeneutics - Interpreting the Bible without Biblical Facts in Evidence - How do you approach the Bible when interpreting it?  You might be surprised!

Backsliding – Many Christians believe that it is possible for a true Christian to backslide.  Is this what the Bible teaches?  Backsliding, in the Scriptures, refers only to Israel and not to individual people.

Conjunctive Theology – The conjunction in grammar connects thought and meaning.  It has been used detrimentally in Christianity and has caused problems.

The Cross: Payment for Sin or Demonstration? And How many Times Did Christ Died? – For some years Harold Camping taught that the cross of Christ on earth was only a demonstration because Christ was supposedly crucified before the earth was formed.  The Bible teaches that Christ died once for sins and not twice as Camping taught. This article refutes this heretical teaching of Harold Camping.

Date Setting: Is It Biblical – Since the Lord returned back to Heaven in 33 A.D., people for the last 2000 years have been trying to figure out His return.  Many have attempted date setting but all were found to be wrong.  If someone sets a date it does not necessarily mean they are heretics.  Martin Luther and Charles Wesley both set dates and I would not consider either a heretic.

The Devil and His Angels – Hell was not only created for the purpose of punishing the devil and his angels eternally but also those who are unsaved and want nothing to do with God or Christ in this present world.

Did the Lord Jesus Christ Go To Hell? – Many Christians believe that after the Lord Jesus Christ died on Calvary that he went to hell to preach to the lost.  Is this a true biblical teaching?  Where did the Lord Jesus Christ go after he died?  The Bible is very clear on that.

Differing Covenants – When looking at the Covenants in Scripture it is necessary to study each one individually and see whom God has applied them to.  Many make a mistake and believe that the covenants are all for national Israel when there is a great separation between the covenants made with Israel and Abraham.

Does God Answer Every Prayer? – Many times when Christians pray and we don’t get the answer we want, we will claim that God did not answer our prayer when in reality He answers all prayers of His children.

Does God Love Everyone in the World? - We have heard that God loves the sinner but hates the sin, is that biblical?

Does Satan Exist? – Many in this world think that Satan does not exist and Satan would love that to happen so he could go around unnoticed.  I knew some Christians who doubted the existence of Satan, demons, and angels.  How can you read the Bible and see these creatures in there and doubt their existence?  The ultimate blindness.

Ecclesiastes 8:5 – During the time of Harold Camping’s insistence that May 21, 2011 was going to be the day of the rapture, he claimed that Eccl. 8:5 taught that we can know when the Lord was returning.  That was proven to be false but Eccl. 8:5 does teach us that we can discern the times that we live in.

Effectual Salvation – Free Willers teach that all one must do to be saved is believe on the Lord Jesus Christ.  Is that the first step or are they missing a major biblical teaching which precedes belief?

The End of Salvation – When the Lord Jesus Christ went to the cross He paid for all the sins of the Elect.  Therefore there is no more salvation for anyone beyond those who were named from the foundation of the world.  God’s magnificent salvation plan was now complete except for the calling of every believer till the last one is called.

Genesis 12:1-3 - Of Whom Do the Scriptures Speak? – Genesis 12:1-3 has been used to convince the Christian that it is speaking about the modern nation of Israel.  Is that true or is that Christian Zionism with one of its false teachings?  Find out here!

How to Know You Are Saved – Many Christians concern themselves about their salvation and wonder if they are saved.  Here are some principles to help you in your quest.

Jesus: King of the Jews – Many teach that Jesus is the King of The Jews because Pilate had that written on His cross.  When we get to the New Testament understanding of who a Jew is, then we find that Jesus is King of the Jews, that is, those who are saved according to Romans 2:28-29.

Jesus Christ - The Creator - The Lord Jesus Christ is the Creator of this world and Universe.

Jesus Christ: The God of the Old Testament - The Bible teaches that the Lord Jesus Christ is the God of the Old Testament too.

John 3:16 - An Offer of the Gospel or a Declaration of the Gospel? – Many Christians believe that John 3:16 is an offer of the Gospel.  Is it?  Or is the verse a declaration of salvation?

I Wanna Go to Hell with all my Friends – Many unsaved think that hell is going to be a big party and that they want to be there with all their friends.  The reality is that hell is a place of eternal torment and the farthest thing from being an eternal party.  This article combats the notion of hell being a place of fun.

Man the Sovereign and God the Beggar – The free will belief that man can “accept the Lord” is nowhere found in the Bible.  It is a created tenet of the free will system of salvation.  Man believes that God is the one begging him to become saved and that man has the ability to accept or refuse.  Nothing could be further from the truth and that belief is nowhere found in Scripture.  It is based on the pride of man.

Resurrection or Resurrections? How Many Are There? – The Bible straightly teaches that there is going to be one general resurrection on the last day.  However, I have had people tell me that there is going to be as many as 3 resurrections.  Both cannot be correct so let the Bible be our guide.
