Don't Base Doctrines On Obscure Bible Passages

2nd Timothy 2:15-18, “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness. And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus; Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some.”

I love this passage of Scripture. Here in verses 17 and 18 we plainly see that the Apostle Paul named the names of false teachers. John MacArthur is one of the biggest and most dangerous false teachers  which has crept into thousands of independent Baptist churches. Here is one of my favorite preacher quotes: 

“A good rule to follow when interpreting the Bible is to never use an obscure passage to contradict a clear one.” —Curtis Hutson

There has been much debate on social media about whether a person needs to pray, call or confess Christ to be saved. The answer is “NO” to all of those things, you simply need to BELIEVE. One heretic wanted to debate with me, trying to use Romans 10:9-13 to justify the need to pray (call) on the name of the Lord to be saved. Folks, that is bad Bible interpretation. God authored the Gospel of John specifically to show people how to be saved. John 20:31, “But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.” In the book of John we find the word “believe” mentioned 85 times, but there is not one mention of repentance, calling, confessing or praying concerning salvation. Why do men always have to complicate everything? Yet, ignorant preachers and unlearned people will wrest (torture) the Scriptures to say what God did not say or intend. The internet is full of people, especially women, who run their big mouths, not even able to explain what they are debating theologically.

My favorite preacher, Pastor Jack Hyles (1926-2001), said it well:

“More people will die and burn in Hell, because they're trusting too much!” —Pastor Jack Hyles, a precious quote from the MP3 sermon, “Yea, Yea, And Nay, Nay!”

“Everything that's hard and complicated about salvation is God's side of it!” —Pastor Jack Hyles, a precious quote from the MP3 sermon, “Yea, Yea, And Nay, Nay!”

All we need to know to be saved is contained in the Gospel of John. Romans 10:9-13 is an obscure passage of Scripture, as is Acts 2:38 (which false teachers try to use to justify baptismal regeneration). If you don't know what you're doing, you can do major damage to the inspired Word of God, and send people to Hell, like the Harvest Baptist Church on Guam is doing with their Lordship Salvation garbage. God's curse is upon Bob Jones University and any churches who support their Satanic cult (Galatians 1:6-9). BJU promotes Devil's Bibles, preaches another gospel, bids Godspeed to reprobate John MacArthur, and couldn't care less. I wish I had the power to put Steve Pettit, Marty Herron, Gary Walton and all of them into prison, for all the lives that they have destroyed by preaching doctrines of devils. Jeremiah 5:31, “The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will ye do in the end thereof?”

Their day of judgment is soon coming. Life is short. The corrupt self-righteous Bob Jones University crowd are mentioned in Matthew 7:21-23 and John 10:1. God won't be mocked (Galatians 6:7). BJU has been bewitched (Galatians 3:1-3). If you examine their false teachings, you'll find that BJU and their perverse alumni all base Lordship Salvation on obscure passages of Scripture, while totally ignoring clear passages like the Gospel of John.
