So, why in the world do so many people think that Pharoah was raised up to go to hell? What verse, better yet, what bible do they get that from? Before you think of some blasphemous characteristic of Jesus, ask yourself how come you are not going to hell? Are you a really good person? Are you born of something special like “white privilege”, or “Catholic belief”, or an “American heritage”, or maybe of “Jewish blood”? What separates you from being different from Pharoah or even Hitler?
Please, please, please do not use any stupid Calvinistic reasoning? Or maybe that is all you could come up with? If so, you need to really examine your testimony. Better yet, examine your typological life instead of your testimony! If your testimony goes something like well Jesus saved me because I am not like Pharoah or Hitler, well you have a problem Houston!
Paul, who used to be Saul was as bad as Pharoah or Hitler, says Paul! How did he get saved? Read Romans 8, then write down your answer? Read Romans 10, then write down your answer. Read Romans 11, then write down your answer. Read the entire O.T. and write down your answer. Tell me who was Jacob’s and Esau’s father? Clue: Isaac. Clue #2: Jacob and Esau were blood brother TWINS! AS CLOSE TO EXACT BLOOD AS POSSIBLE! So were they born from the same mother? Clue: YES! So are they still the exact same race? Clue: YES! So, if one is considered an Israelite is the other? Clue: YES, UNLESS YOU FAILED BASIC ELEMENTARY BIOLOGY! This absolutely matters!!!! So, who is Issac’s father? Clue: Abraham. Is Abraham an Israelite? Clue: NO! What happened? If you can not answer this question, you should never, ever argue or enter into the heated conversation of “how you are saved”?
Then you will throw up some scripture about well, John 3:16. Yes, I know that one. What does it say? So, one verse in the whole Bible takes care of everything in regard to the subject completely, just like that? So, does the devil not “believe” more than anyone of us (humans in general)? What about John 6:66?
So, if a person “believes” is that enough? The bible says, NO!
Expository scripture learning is terrible! You will not learn the bible like that! You will teach the wrong message; if you do not gain more knowledge of the bible and have a message of what Christ has done for you as a lost person in a synergy of the bible explanation. You must be able to explain how a person who lived before Jesus came was saved in the same manner as yourself. You need to explain how Jesus is using you as a vessel; that is not a testimony of faith. You will be explaining a testimony of the reality of Jesus as a living and breathing God working in your life for his glory and how you are becoming more sanctified each minute, storing up treasure in heaven, running the good race, preparing for the move to the New Jerusalem, prophesying about the discernment of scripture as the Holy Spirit teaches you the truth to share and train as a Christian warrior, how the person standing in front of you (who might be Hitler or Paul or Pharoah) is worthy of salvation just like you! If you think Pharoah was born a human, born a slave of Satan, cursed by the blood of his father (Adam), nurtured by a mother and a father (even if they were the worst parents on the planet) just to have a devil or many demons enter into his life to never experience the love of Jesus as Genesis tells us God ABSOLUTELY DID DESIGN, CREATE, AND PROVIDE, please keep your mouth shut!!!!!!! You need to read until you see Jesus yourself!!!!
No human has ever been created (Adam & Eve only) or born from Adam & Eve that Jesus did not die for and love as much as your pathetic butt; so do not try to explain that away with something really stupid!!!!!!!
P.S. I left out Romans 9 intentionally! Why? Because until you actually can answer all the questions above, you do not need to hear any discussion about chapter 9. I promise it will only reinforce your other answers! The really funny thing is, you will discover if you try to discuss it before answering the other questions you are losing at the very thing intended to begin with; which is for you to see Jesus for all he is. Second, if you answer all the above and then answer Chapter 9 that in a very likely manner will conflict with all your other answers; you will recognize you have discovered the biblical synergy principle works like magic and you will have to start over with answering correctly what chapter 9 tells truthfully!
