Only a 28er could.....

Last month was Acts 28er unappreciation month where we exposed them as the weirdo type people that they are. Very few of them if any believe the Bible and its preservation. A lot of them reject hell as a literal burning place because of some Greek googly gook. They are also just kind of weird and somewhat unintelligent creatures (but a few I corresponded with were smart and friendly). They were founded by some gentlemen named Chuck Belch (Charles Welch) who was bored one day so he decided to invent a dispensational position and see how much Bible he could mess up with it. Below are a couple of things that only a 28er could think up.

Polygamy is not banned in the scripture. 

Yes it is. 1 Timothy 3:2 "A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife". 

"Brother Hoss, you know that is only talking about the Pastors and Bishops".....I know no such thing. Paul is describing a spiritually mature man that would be capable of pastoring a church. 

1 Timothy 3:
[1] This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work.
[2] A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;
[3] Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous;
[4] One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity;
[5] (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)
[6] Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil.

Should only a pastor be blameless? Should only a pastor be vigilant, sober, or good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach, not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre, patient, not a brawler, not covetous, rule his house well, and not a novice? Those are qualifications of every spiritually mature man, not some special qualifications that only the spiritually elite can achieve! That is describing a man that already has those qualifications before becoming a pastor. The suggestion made by the 28er is weird and somewhat cultish. Go join the church of LDS.


Paul says that the wages of sin is death, not eternal punishment. (there is no hell)

Go join the JW's. 

Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

You do not think Paul taught everlasting judgement do ya? 

Romans 1:
[27] And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
[28] And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
[29] Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
[30] Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
[31] Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
[32] Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

Romans 2:

[2] But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things.
[3] And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?

[5] But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;
[6] Who will render to every man according to his deeds:
[7] To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life:
[8] But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,
[9] Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;

[12] For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law;

[16] In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.

Romans 3:
[4] God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.
[5] But if our unrighteousness commend the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who taketh vengeance? (I speak as a man)
[6] God forbid: for then how shall God judge the world?
[7] For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie unto his glory; why yet am I also judged as a sinner?
[8] And not rather, (as we be slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say,) Let us do evil, that good may come? whose damnation is just.
[9] What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin;
[10] As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:

[19] Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. 

2 Thessalonians 1:8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: 
(and don't forget Rom. 2:16 In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel. )

That sound like heaven to you chump? How about this one.

Hebrews 9:
[25] Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others;
[26] For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.
[27] And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
[28] So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.

Romans 2:16 In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.  

2 Thessalonians 1:8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: 

The Bible speaks for itself. 

"But Paul did not mention the word hell"......well did that sound like heaven to you? Go pass out the Watch Tower.
