I am involved in church ministry for many years, and as a pastor I worked for 12 years. In all what I have done, I am so happy in my teaching, because I know that I teach the truth, despite the lack of my ability to effectively communicate. "2 Timothy 3:7 says, Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth." In the context, it is about a certain group of people only. But in my experience, I think that this will suit a lot more people than it is referred to in the context. It is a discouragement; yet I consider myself blessed, since God has revealed me the truth.

But le me give you the Christian perspective: Christians consider themselves as they are related to God, because they are after Jesus Christ. But all other religions are false, since they do not know who God is; and so, Christians have an advantage. On top of it, they have a responsibility to convert the whole world to Christianity so that they all may be saved. And Christians think that they are the gate way to heaven, and so all others must become Christians, and as Christians they all will go to heaven. This is the salvation plan of Christians.
But is it true? How about the people of the world, who are not Christians? Is there a remote possibility for them to go to heaven? Most Christian preachers, even the famous ones like John MacArthur say that salvation is only in the name of Jesus Christ, and so, none from the other religions will go to heaven. And it is their fault since they were not born in Christian families, and so they will go to hell; and it make sense to Christians. God created Adam and Eve and allowed them to multiply even after they have sinned and died spiritually. Following Adam and Eve, their generations have gained worldly wisdom, to know between good and evil, from their Genes or by their DNA. But, they were born with no Spirit, but just with body and soul. Even though God did not give the Spirit, he has given them conscience in its place. They already have the effect of the fruit, and so they know what is good and what is evil. Some people mix the good with their conscience, and so they have good conscience. And others mix evil with their conscience and become evil. Those, who have good conscience, desire to live for God. If and when they are not able to overcome evil, they ask God for help. God gives them the holy Spirit, Grace, and power to them as they needed. They are guided by the holy Spirit, become Sons of God, and inherit the kingdom of God, even as joint-heirs with Jesus Christ. This happens even from the beginning, even in the old testament. But it is explained clearly in the new testament. But Christians think that it began in the new testament. No! it began in the very beginning. God is not respecter of people in the old testament or in the new testament, or among any religious people including Christianity. Please note that Christianity is also just another religion. Just because we use the name of Jesus Christ in our religion, we think that Jesus belongs to us, and God will favor us for eternal life. It is our misunderstanding. God is not a respecter of persons; and it is true. He is the same to all people of the world. Do not forget that all people are his creation. But Christians think that God will support Christians because Christianity is named after him, we confess Jesus Christ, and we carry his bible. Christians think that they must convert the whole world to Christianity, and then only the world will go to heaven, as if all Christians are going to heaven. It is total ignorance. How do Christians go to heaven? Only if they fit in the plan of God, or else they will also go to hell and will be cast into the lake of fire.
God the Word became the man Jesus to die for the ungodly sinners, and it says that he died for us all, but it did not say that he died for Christians only, but he died for all. "Romans 5:6 .., in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 1 John 2:2 ..: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. 2 Corinthians 5:15 And that he died for all, ..." He died for all sinners; Sinners are not Christians only. Even though Christians try to own Jesus Christ for themselves, it appears that he belongs to the whole world. We must not forget this.
"Mark 16:14 Afterward he appeared unto the eleven ... 15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature." Jesus Christ came to the 11 disciples. They were taught scriptures and got life training and guidance for three years from the Master. He further told them in Luke 24:49, to "tarry in the city of Jerusalem, until they be endued with power from on high"; this referred to the encounter on the day of Pentecost in the upper room. After that, they are supposed to go and preach the gospel. So, these are the qualifications or requirements to preach the gospel. That is, they must be disciples, who knows the words of Jesus Christ, and with the experience and power from the Holy Ghost. Those who do not have these credentials are not sent by God to preach the gospel. Then the next point is that they preach the gospel to the entire world. So, preaching the gospel must be to the entire world. They preached the gospel to anybody and everybody. If they listen, make them followers or disciples, and teach them his commands for them to obey. They will receive the holy Spirit, and will be guided by the Spirit, and grow, even to receive the Holy Ghost, Jesus Christ, and even God the Father and to abide in them. This applies to all in the entire world, and people may call the converted people, who follow the life of Jesus Christ, as Christians, as they called the disciples in Antioch as Christians. It is in "Acts 11:26 ... And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch." Let us consider Christians in two groups for our study sake; let them be 1) Godly Christians; and 2) Worldly or Religious Christians. Godly Christians must have known the gospel, should have been converted, baptized by immersion, received the holy Spirit, and is being guided by the Spirit to receive grace, power, abiding of God, and living toward inheriting the kingdom of God in heaven. In the process of their life, it is time for them to study the doctrine of Jesus Christ and follow the doctrine of the apostles. Their bible study will be geared toward heaven. But the sad part about the Worldly or Religious Christians are, they neither know the gospel, nor they are converted, and they do not even know their true status with God. And their Christianity is filled with the notion that the life history of the Man Jesus is the gospel. The life history of Jesus Christ in the bible is true. But as true as it is, it is not the gospel, since this knowledge will take nobody to the kingdom of of God in heaven. They must do what Jesus Christ tells them to do to inherit the kingdom of heaven. If they do it, then only they will go to heaven.
God created Adam and Eve and the entire human beings. So, he is the God of all, that is, he is God to billions of people. But he also calls himself as God of Abraham, God of Isaac, God of Jacob, and so on; and we also call him as God of the Jews. And now we call him as God of Christians, but at the same time, he is God of the whole world and for everyone. God says that whatever he has done in the old testament are the shadow of future things, and Jesus spoke even in the new testament in symbolic language so that people outside of his discipleship may not understand. So, in order to understand scriptures, we must have the Spirit revealing the meaning to us. The bible says that Jesus Christ voids the old covenants since, they are not perfect and without fault, and people did not keep them either. So, God destroyed the Old, which is decayed, and as the mediator of the new covenant, he established the new covenant with two group of people. One group is Israel that are Jews, and this refer to the Millennium. The other group is Judah, that refers to the group of Jesus himself, since he is the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David. So if we are his people, he will make the new covenant with us. Who are his people! If we stop sinning, we are his people as in Matthew 1:21, 2 Corinthians 6:14-18, and Revelation 21:7. Since the Religious Christians are not his people, they do not even know about the new covenant, and they hold on to the Old covenant. So, the new covenant is not with any religion, even with Christianity. The entire world is under One God, who is the Omnipotent Spirit, who created all, and he will judge all at the end. He is no respecter of persons, and so, he will have no favoritism towards anybody, not even to Christians in judgment. So, everybody in the world is the same. Since Adam and Eve ate the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil, they lost the Spirit. But their genes hang on in their generation, and so, they know good and evil; and so, some choose to be good, and others choose to be evil. John 3:19-21 says this. "19 says that their deeds were evil. 20 says, that every one that doeth evil hateth the light, ... 21 says that those who ... doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God." So, we see that God accepts good people and condemn the evil people, and it is not by Christians or non-Christians, but by whether they are good or evil. Christians talking about preaching the gospel to convert evil people, and so on. Yes! it has its place. However, preaching the gospel is not begging people to be converted either. God says let the evil keep sinning and let the righteous become more righteous. "Revelation 22:11 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still. 12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. 13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. 14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city." Heaven or hell is given not by the basis of any religion, but purely by how they live; and those who obey his commands will enter heaven; but others will be cast out in the lake of fire. Christianity or any other religion mean nothing to inherit eternal life. You may think what I say nonsense. But this is what the word of God says, and so, this is the truth.
God created Adam and Eve, gave them the Spirit of man, which is the holy Spirit, and placed them in the garden of God, which is Paradise, which is the third heaven. God told them not to eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, and if they eat they will die on the same day. The fruit will give them the knowledge of knowing what is good and evil by themselves independent from the counsel of God. The devil came to Eve as a serpent and told Eve that they would not die if they ate and they would know good and evil by themselves, and so on. They both eat. Their Spirit died, their glory departed, they could not stand before God, were thrown out of Paradise, and were cursed. They were totally destroyed.
Let us set the worldly and religious Christians aside for the time being, and consider the so called Spiritual, Evangelical, enthusiastic Christians only. They are born again with the Spirit. They must have been baptized with water, probably baptized with the Holy Ghost also, and could have received gifts of the Holy Ghost. They are potential candidate to inherit the kingdom of God in heaven. The first and the lowest level of heaven is the new earth, it is Paradise. These people are expected to go above this level, that is to new heavens. God tells them a few things. For example, he tells them to be perfect, be holy, and not to sin. It is in Matthew 5:8, 1 Peter 1:15&16, and 1 Corinthians 15:34. But these people turn around and challenge God saying that nobody can become perfect, nobody can live holy, and nobody can live with no sin, except the Man Jesus; because he was 100% man and also he was 100% God. Since he was God he lived such a life, and a man cannot live such a life. This is what they say. But Man Jesus lived just as a Man, when he was a man. I am not going get into this argument now. But such people are also will be destroyed now, as Adam was destroyed.
In the new testament we use two phrases for the old testament. They are the 'laws and prophets,' and the 'shadow of good things to come.' It is to say that the old testament truth is in the new testament, the old testament is just a shadow of them. So, the history of the forefathers, kings, saints, the covenants, blessings, and all these God given things are just shadows, and the real thing will be in the new testament. And in the book of Hebrews, we see that Jesus Christ has voided the old covenant because it was defective and decayed, and he establishes the new covenant with his people. So, the present time is more blessed than the time of Abraham, King David, and all. However, our preachers always go the old testament blessings, old miracles, the plagues in Egypt, the opening of the red sea, the drowning of Egyptian army, the provision of manna in the wilderness, killing of Goliath by David, and establish all the Old blessings upon every believer now. But all the old testament blessing were shadows, and God voided them all, they do not even available now. These preachers do not even know it, and these blessings are the highlights of their sermons. They bless people with them, saying that the same God who did them in the Old, will do them even now. People in the congregation praise God thinking that they receive the old blessings. These are happening in our churches in various levels. It is foolish. Preachers say that these blessings are unconditional for the members of their churches. They do not even have a clue about the new covenant. They must know the truth first.
In the old testament, they were told to sacrifice animals for the forgiveness of their sins. So, when they committed sin, they offered sacrifice for that sin, and that sin was forgiven. Then they commit another sin, and they sacrificed another animal for that sin, and it went on like this. How do the cross and the sacrifice of Jesus forgive sins? Jesus was sacrificed 2000+ years ago. When Christians commit a sin, they apply his blood for that sin, and it is forgiven. Then they sin again, and they apply the blood of Jesus again, and again and again, and it goes on like this. So, forgiveness in the Old and in the New, are the same except, we do not have to sacrifice the animals now. And so, Jesus has saved the lives of many animals from death by dying on the cross in their place. If Jesus had not died, the animals could have been sacrificed and dead. So, did God became a man, suffered, took the cross, and died a very cruel death, and so on, just to save the sacrificial animals from their death? Is Christianity all about saving these animals? There is something drastically wrong in the Christian system of forgiveness of sins and in the inheritance of the kingdom of God in heaven. This is the practicality of Christianity. So, Christianity proves itself to be the most fraudulent and lying religion. It is unacceptable and shameful. Christians think that they are the most holy religion because they boast Jesus and God, sing beautiful songs, preach so eloquently from the bible, and trying to evangelize the whole world. But they cannot shame God or even change his plan of salvation. God has established his New Covenant with his people. His people are His Body; I call them the Spirit Church. Religious Christians has nothing to do with the new covenant, they do not even know about the new covenant, and that is why they are still clinging to the old covenant. The old testament has history even from the beginning, about creation, about Adam and Eve, about the devil, the serpent, good and evil, prophets, Abraham, blessings and curses, and such other, which are very important even now. But the most important truth is to keep in mind that they are all shadows of the New, and the Old Covenant is void.
By the new covenant, God has made the first covenant old and void. The animal sacrifice, the temple, and the priesthood (which are our priests, pastors, bishops, cardinals, and up to the level of pope), circumcision, the rituals, the ordinances, the entire first covenant, the promises, including all blessings connected with it, he replaced them all by himself as the only intercessor between God and men in the order of Melchisedec. But Christians did not leave the old covenant, even though God has voided them. But they use the name of Jesus, and all the stories of the Man Jesus and make their religion rich with religious vocabularies. They are all like cotton candy.
Let us see how the supreme sacrifice of God the Word, then as the Man Jesus, and then as God the Christ, work in the plan of God the Father for the salvation of sinners. "Hebrews 10:7 ... in the volume of the book it is written ..." So, God the Father wrote his plan in the volume of his books, and so, every detail was written there. God the word and God the Holy Ghost are following the plan even now. At first it began with God the Word left the omnipotent Spirit, left all the status and glory, entered a baby body in the womb of a virgin, and became a mere man like us. It is in Hebrew 10:6-9, and Philippians 2:6-8. As a man he suffered and died on the cross. Hebrews 5:6-10 says that "he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him; and Called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec." Two things happened by his death on the cross by shedding his blood. Please listen carefully. Christians and their preachers very loudly proclaim that Jesus has died in their place to take their punishment in hell, so that they may go to heaven. Do not believe this garbage, since it is total fabrication and manipulation. Christians will believe this garbage because they are brain washed with this for the last 2000 years. But Jesus died and became the author of eternal salvation, and he gives the salvation only to all them that obey him. So, our salvation depends on our obedience to Jesus Christ, but not on his death and shedding of his blood. If we do not obey him, we will not be saved. But, they are doing a little manipulation to teach and preach their version, as the serpent taught Eve with a little interpretation. As Eve was deceived, now all Christians are deceived. One more thing happened in this context is that God the Father has made Jesus Christ the high priest after the order of Melchisedec, replacing all temples, temple worships, and all the priesthood. But Christians always go to their priesthood in their churches, to worship who is seated in the churches to receive their worship, which is according to 2 Thessalonians 2:3&4, instead of coming to the Lord Jesus Christ, our high priest after the order of Melchisedec, directly.
God the Word became a mere Man Jesus. As a man he lived a sinless life to be an example for us. He suffered and died on the cross and became the author of salvation, God the Father and God the Holy Ghost together made him Lord and Christ, anointed him as God, and now he is Lord God Jesus Christ. I have a few lessons on this topic already, and so, instead of repeating them again, let me give a few links for you to refer.
1) "Man Jesus died on the cross, and was resurrected:" It has 8 lessons. You may choose which you like.
2) "Word, Man, and God." It is a single lesson by itself.
3) "Took Away the Old and Established the New." This has 12 lessons. You may select the one you like.
In the old testament, there were two kinds of sacrifices that took care of sins. One was by the sacrificial lamb that was killed, and its blood was shed. The other was a scape goat, and it carried away their sins. So, there were two steps of forgiveness; they are shadows of the New; so, there must be two similar steps in the real also, which is in the New. 1) In the new testament, the Man Jesus suffered, shed his blood, died, and became the author of salvation to forgive the sins of the obedient people, as in Hebrews 5:9&10. 2) The resurrected Lord Jesus Christ was sent to turn, those who are waiting or looking for him, away from their sins. It is in Acts 3:26 and in Hebrew 9:28. So, the two steps are set in the new testament. But now, how is forgiveness done? First, as God he comes to his people and turns them away from their sins and iniquities, by giving them the holy Spirit, grace, and power to them for them to overcome their sins. He forbears the obedient people, until they overcome, and then forgives all their past sins, knowing that they will not sin anymore. This is one time forgiveness by one time sacrifice. It is in Romans 3:23-25. "23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; 24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: 25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;" So, God forbears until they sin no more, and then forgives their past sins, as the author of salvation. It is also in Hebrews 10:1-18. This is how God forgives sins of the people in the bible. But Christians give many interesting stories for forgiveness, which are all fake.

Matthew 28:20, & Mark 16:15. Jesus Christ preached his commandments to obey, as his
Gospel; it is the true Gospel to inherit Eternal life. Genesis 3:1-4 & 2 Corinth 11:2-4. But Preachers, who are Serpents of Satan, preach the life of man Jesus just to believe, but not to live as a chaste virgin, as the gospel; it is another gospel, which cannot and will not give Eternal life.The true gospel will convert evil people to do good and thereby they will inherit the kingdom in heaven
. John 3:19-21 say that people are two kinds, evil and true. Evil doers will not come to the Light, who is God; but people of truth come to God for their deeds to be made manifest. We have good and evil people by our standard of our society or culture. These evil people may be converted to be doers of truth by the power of God, and they may inherit the kingdom of God in heaven.
