| 52: | Lesson 10: Believe in God and in Christ Jesus says in John 8:24, "For if you do not believe that I am He, you will die in your sins." In order to do the will of the Father, we must believe in God and in Christ, otherwise we will die in our sins and be lost. If we don't believe in God and in Christ, we will certainly not do what They tell us. If God is to be believed at all, He must be believed fully. Hebrews 11:6 says, "But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him." We must diligently seek to know all that God wants us to do and then gladly do it. Do you believe in God and Christ with all your heart? Do you believe in Them to the point that you have all the confidence in the world in Them and that you will do anything and everything They tell you to do? Not what we choose to do, but what God tells us to do.

| 58: | The Sinner's Prayer: Modern apostasy and false teaching that ... ...Modern apostasy and false teaching that prevents men from being saved." The earliest notion of sinners prayer is less than 500 years old. It wasn't formalized as a theology until around the time of Billy Graham. No one in the Bible ever prayed for their initial salvation. They did however believe, repent, confess Jesus and be immersed in water for the forgiveness of their sins. The sinners prayer is a an innovation that thwarts God's plan of salvation. 1. First they replaced believers baptism by immersion with infant baptism by sprinkling. 2. Second they later replaced baptism altogether with the "sinners prayer" so that baptism is no longer even part of the plan of salvation. If you prayed the "sinners prayer" for your salvation, you are still lost in your sins, because it is not what God said to do. The Sinner's Prayer Click to View C.S.

| 63: | Practical Solutions to 20th Century Problems Does The Bible Provide Practical Solutions to 20th Century Problems? It is unfortunate that so many feel the Bible is outdated. Skeptics charge, "How can that ancient book be of any value to a society that has put man on the moon?" or "The Bible doesn't provide any concrete solutions for the problems of today's complex world." Nothing could be further from the truth! For only in the Bible can man find, lasting solutions to the problems of life. Stop and think for a moment how man's needs have changed in the last 2000 years. Cars have replaced horses and computers make life easier, but man himself has not changed one tiny bit. The things we do for employment have changed but the problems of the workplace are the same. The appliances in our houses make life easier, but the challenges of marriage are identical. The games children play have changed (i.e. Nitendo) but children still need the same love and support.

Lesson 5 Acceptable And Unacceptable Worship God has shown, in the Bible, His approval with those who follow His will and His displeasure and wrath with those who refuse to worship Him the way He has directed. An example of acceptable and unacceptable worship in the Old Testament is that of Cain and Abel. Cain and Abel both worshipped God. Abel did as God directed, but Cain tried to worship God the way he saw fit.

Abel also brought of the firstborn of his flock and of their fat. And the Lord respected Abel and his offering, but He did not respect Cain and his offering."

Ambrose (390 AD), directly applied 1 Cor 5:7 "let us celebrate the feast with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth" to the Lord's Supper: "Christ our Passover hath been sacrificed." For as often as we receive the Blood of the Lord, we proclaim the death of the Lord. As, then, He was once slain for all, so whensoever forgiveness of sins is granted, we receive the Sacrament of His Body, that through His Blood there may be remission of sins." (Ambrose, Repentance, Book 2, Ch 3, 18) The connection between the Lord's Supper and the Jewish Passover as an antitype, is powerful and obvious in scripture. B. Both the bread and grape juice must be unleavened in order to exactly duplicate the liturgy of Jesus when he instituted the Lord's Supper: 1.

They also watch out for the souls of the members like a shepherd. Christ is the head of every local church. There is no human head of the church. The Bible is the only written creed for each local church, rather than a man-made written creed. Each local church is autonomous and self-governing. No outside interference from others.

Although the Bible has enjoyed such vast distribution and attention, it is read relatively little. Perhaps part of the reason the Bible is so neglected is the many doubts people have about this unique book.

All scripture is inspired by God and is profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work . (2 Timothy 3:16,17) The word "inspired" (theopneustos) in the original Greek language literally means "God-breathed".

In Romans 3:23, we are told, "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God". There is not an accountable person living or who has ever lived (except our Lord), who can say that he has never sinned. We are all in need of salvation. I John 1:8 says, "If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us". The easiest person to deceive is ourselves. When we rationalize away what God says, this is what we are doing. God says that man has a sin problem, but man says that he does not. Who is right and what are we doing to God when we say that we have no sin? Continuing our reading in I John 1:10, "If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us."

Lesson 6 Vain Worship Our Lord says in Mark 7:7, "And in vain do they worship Me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men." When we follow the commandments of men instead of God's instructions, our worship becomes vain. If our worship is vain, it is empty, hollow, and useless. It will do us no good. If it is vain, it would be as though we had not worshipped God at all and we will be lost. When we worship in the way "we want" then God is dishonored and insulted. When we worship the way God has told us in His word, God is honored and glorified. As we read in John 4:24, "God is a Spirit, and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth." To worship in truth is to worship as the word of God directs. Jesus said in John 17:17, "Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth."

God will restore the garden on a global basis and there "the faithful" will live a physical existence forever upon the earth. Advocates of this view deny that man has a soul.
