Jesus stated that "I AM the Way , the TRUTH,and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me" (= by the way of the TRUTH and by Christ's life inside Him). (John.14:6 ). We need to stay on the road to have the truth resulting Christ's life flowing out from our stomach.

We normally understand that truth means a consistency when it comes to events and reality, the correct presentation of things and the situation. If one is not adopting the reality and staying in the TRUTH he can be deceived, liar, crooked, distorted, affected, deceitful, hypocritical, impostor... you can choose. You can be "strayed concerning the (announced) TRUTH" meaning in this case specially in the Christian doctrine. (2 Tim. 2:18)

"God our Saviour... desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the TRUTH" ( = Christ, His nature and His doctrine) ( 1 Tim. 2:4 NKJ ).

Those who don't receive a love to the TRUTH but choosing to believe TRUTH send by God to be the lie and the strong delusion because they had pleasure in unrighteousness, will be condemned to the damnation. (2 Tess. 2:10-12 with non traditional way) Jesus, TRUTH Himself was deemed to be a false Messiah and lie: "Crucify Him, Crucify Him".

"According to your faith let it be to you"(Mat. 9:29 NKJ) Note that this does not mean that when you choose a lie (wrong belief system instead of TRUTH) it makes a lie a reality, but rather that you need to suffer consequences of selecting wrong (doctrine and/or different god). There exist only one way into the heaven and you are not blissful in the afterlife if you haven't chosen God-send TRUTH.

There exists a more traditional Calvinistic way to believe that the strong delusion (LIE) sent by God is the lawless one (meaning Antichrist) "with all power and signs and lying wonders". (Does this make God a liar ??) (2 Tess.2:9,11) For us "with the Armenian eye-glasses" this idea strongly opposes our image about a good God.

.

Calvinistic Christian believes that all things happen according to the will of God even the fall of Adam and Eve. It might feel safer to think that all are in God's hands but we need to remember that "because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow gold" (Matt.24:12 NKJ) That is because the believer accuses God of his misery.

In principle I understand that if there exists two ways to render the text then both are usually correct (but not always). The explicit mark to recognise God-given writings (canonical text) is that it can be opened like an onion: layer after layer to allow the reader to penetrate deeper into the Truth. The other is that reader is able to jump to hear God's voice directly trough the text: Paul is not any more speaking but God Himself. (Mat.10:20, 2 Cor.13:3) Apocrypha does not own these properties. It's writings have only one human layer and no possibility to dig deeper. Jews and Protestants don't recognise these writings to be hand-writings of the God . Catholics included Apocrypha to the Latin version of the Christian Bible as inspired and authoritative part of the canon after the Council of Trent. (years 1545-1563) This addition was the answer to Luther's criticism that it is not scriptural to pray for (physically) dead persons. 2 Machabees 12:46 "It is therefore a holy and wholesome thought to pray for the dead, that they may be loosed from sins." Previous text indicate that the question is about physical and not spiritual death. My conviction is that there is only one way to get rid of the sins (it is to load them on top of Christ on the cross) and this must happen when person is still physically alive as verified by the rest of the Bible. There exists an explanation for me to accept that God given "strong delusion" or "an operation of ERROR" is the Antichrist SENT by God . Think about what God said about the ancient Egyptian ruler (symbol of our old self before the born-again experience. World is revolving around "I myself"). God hardened the heart of Pharaoh (Ex.7:3) and Pharaoh hardened his own heart (Ex.8:32). This ostensible conflict can be explained that God SENT His word trough Moses which hardened Pharaohs heart who did harden his own heart by choosing not to receive it.

By my understanding Antichrist is both an individual former Christian and body of former Christians who had received wrong spirit and wrong god by rejecting God's word and TRUTH.

Beast is the organisation on which the big harlot (= Antichrist / Wrong Prophet / former believer )is riding.( Rev. 17:7) "They (Antichrists) went OUT FROM US" and "if they had been of us they had CONTINUED with us"...(1 John 2:19) "Today, if you will hear His voice, Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion, in the day of trial in the wilderness..." (Hebr.3:8 NKJ) That invitation is for the born-again Christians. So you can say that God's Word (like :"do not sin any-more") CREATED Antichrist who did appear after the falling away from the faith (= apostasy). That did happen many times within our history and will culminate at the end time just before the arrival of Christ.

Actually I understand that there will not be enough authentic "salt" in the "oceans" to prohibit them from rotting just like you didn’t find enough righteous believers in the ancient Sodom. "Woe to the multitude of many people Who make a noise like the roar of the seas. (Is.17:12 NKJ)

"NATURAL man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him.."

(1 Kor.2:14 NKJ) "For if God did not spare the NATURAL branches, He may not spare you either." (Rom. 11:21 NKJ) "Look at Israel according to flesh" (1 Kor.10:18 Lit.) "Jewish people" (Living Bible) "nation Israel" (NASB) "NATURAL Israel" (Finnish translation) as an example for us Christian believers.

You don't need to be a genius to conclude that if it exist NATURAL Israel there is a SPIRITUAL Israel as well. SPIRITUAL Israel is the body of Christ (= Christian believers). I am inclined to believe that there exists both spiritual Antichrist and natural Antichrist based on Gal.4:21...31. Both Isaac and Ishmael are origin from the same father of faith Abraham.

Adherents of atheistic secularism or New Age are not (categorised as) Antichrist in the sense that they are not former Christian believers (originated from the same source). Antichrist has a special mark in his mind and deeds and that mark is hate (seven worse spirits) towards dissidents, especially towards spiritual and natural Israel (= Christians & Jews). "Yes, the time is coming that whoever kills you will think that he offers service to God."(John 16:2)

I like to examine here another indistinct doctrine namely original sin relating to the posterity of Adam and Eve. First Christians were deemed a cult among Jews at the time of Jesus and after His crucifixion. Jesus strongly warned his disciples to announce that "I AM the Christ"(= promised Messiah) because that had ban Him from the teaching ministry in synagogues as a heretic as well as harden the hearts of many believers who chose to believe existing authority. You can't feed babies with too strong food as it will kill them. Jesus was accused of perverting the nation (belief-system of God's chosen people) and "saying that He Himself is Christ (promised Messiah),a King." (Luke 23:2 NKJ) Only at the end Jesus chose openly to confess to being the Son of God. "You rightly say that I AM" resulting in the high priests taring his clothes.(Luke 22:70 and Matt. 26:64)

In the sense that we should be imitators of Jesus I see myself as a cult-teacher in a very exclusive cult because I often disagree with the common doctrinal interpretations.

"There exist only two real believers I and my wife and I am not always sure about the correctness of my wife's belief". This joke is often to the point as there are rarely two believers who understand likewise the scriptural nuances.

Anyway, this Way is the way of renewal of the mind of Christians on principle to test everything and keep what is good. Don't throw away the Baby (= the new Life in Christ) together with the bath water. Only the humble ones will change their opinions.

Back to the mater. In the Lutheran church we have an emergency christening for infants who are about to die to safeguard them into heaven. "He who believes and is baptised will be saved." The idea is to save them from "inherited sin" and "nakedness" originated from Adam and Eve when mankind was separated from God. "Inherited sin means mankind's inherited inclination to sin and evil."

Hebr. 6:2 tells about "doctrine of Baptisms" indicating that there exist more than one Baptism even you can think that they are one in the same sense than Father, Son and Holy Spirit are/is one God..

Jesus regarding to His previous sentence (Mark16: 15,16) "...and preach the gospel to every creature" had in His mind the idea to soak the listener into the word of the Truth ( "Baptism into the Word / word of the Bible). "Let My teachings drop as the drain"(Deut 32:2) so that the dry desert (mind of listener) will produce Life by receiving Jesus = Word.

I believe that Jesus thought about the "born-again Baptism" as well and lesser degree about the "water Baptism" and "baptism of the Holy Spirit" which ones can happen after the believer is already saved. When talking about adult water Baptism: only the one who believes will take it.

According to the Lutheran church water Baptism is the condition for one to be saved; the way one will be a child of God. Methodist baptise those (infants & adults) who are already saved. To include the concept of Born-again Baptism (by faith) and water Baptism as a confession (by deed) we are consistent with the other teachings of Bible ( by authors understanding).

The one criminal hanged with Jesus entered into the Paradise with Him without water Baptism but only by believing Jesus and by receiving "born-again Baptism" trough the releasing word of Christ.

1 Cor.7:14 "For the unbelieving husband is sanctified in the wife and the unbelieving wife is sanctified in the husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but now they are holy."

How I read this is that if both parents are unbelievers (pagans) their children starting from infants are unholy but children of Christians are holy to start with. "Let fruit trees bearing fruit after their kind..." Jesus said about a man blind from birth: "Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but that the works of God should be revealed in him." (John 9:1,2 NKJ) We can apply this to the ones

born spiritually blind and unclean ( possessed others than Holy Spirit) as well. You can say that there is no justice because people are born unequal. I do agree and that is one of the reasons why I am not a Calvinistic Christian. I see this world as a battlefield where God takes whom He can and devil whom he can. Jesus was so distressed of our circumstances that He chose to go on the cross to save those who chose to believe the Truth. This deed if not anything else proves that the situation where we are now is not the scheme planned by God.

Jesus died for everyone, not only for the chosen ones, but by using the Quantum terminology: our saving is in "superposition" (like electrons are in the form of wave and not particles) until we observe it and believe the deed of Christ.

God has divided mind about our situation. This far, because emotions dictate His decisions, He let this world-order under the evil one to continue even to save some starting from Adam and Eve. God is not looking at us as a mass but the distress of every individual person affects Him. However we are coming at speed to closing point where the balance will be changed.

Ezek.36:26,27 NKJ "I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you..." "I will put My Spirit within you..." But after the personal apostasy: Matt.12:43,45 When an unclean spirit RETURNS to a man he takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself. (That is how Antichrist is formed.) That statement indicates that an unbeliever had one familiar spirit within himself to start with.

Devil's generals are in constant battle to enlarge their sphere of influence just like my cat tried constantly make a bigger territory. Man was created to serve it's needs. It wasn't able to change it's nature. There exist generals in the spirit world for Communism, Atheism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Humanism, Darwinism and so on and you can even say that Jesus Christ our God is the General of Christians. Devil's plan is to make it as difficult as possible to find Truth among many alternatives formed for every taste. I prefer a democracy over a dictatorship because the president's limited time in charge doesn't allow him to plan an invasion into his neighbour's country and engage in empire-building. The devil's plan is to create an anarchy so that people choose heavy-handed dictator to keep the order. Generally dictatorship is the lesser evil than chaos even though it can later lead to a bigger misery.

To spread education without Christianity is not so useful because the devil will nullify it's benefits very speedily. Even some atheists can see the point and think that religions are necessary evolutionary processes or steps to pacify the selfish behaviour of humanity. Only they see religions being human inventions in essence and don't believe the spirit- world.

Man was created to be a dwelling place for God. However the Holy Spirit does not dwell in unclean temples. Demons don't like to be homeless so every house is occupied in haste."He (John) will also be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother's womb."(Luke 1:15 NKJ) If that was the case before the birth of Jesus how relevant it is after His death?

My friend’s friend told an incident when he was in a Hindu temple. He heard an audible voice: "Let me come into you and you too will be Hindu." I did once hear an interview about a reporter who was forced to to turn to the Muslim faith under pain of death. At the end of it instead of being now free in western country he told that he is now Muslim.
