Why Doug Yancey is Going to Hell
Why Doug Yancy is Going to Hell
Since God is alone from everlasting, then how can there be others from everlasting also?
God alone is "from everlasting" (Ps. 41.13). It is God "who alone possesses immortality and dwells in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen or can see" (1 Tim. 6.16) and "he alone is God" (1 Tim. 1.17). Aren't you violating God's word and worshiping a false god?
The Bible says there can't be an infinite regress or future of gods, so why violate God's word?
"I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me. Is there a God beside me? yea, there is no God; I know not any" (Is. 43.10, 44.8). You would be living a lie if you thought God the Father use to be a man and he had a God who use to be a man, and he had a God who use to be a man, so on and so on.
How can there be an infinite regress of prior intelligences and gods, if all invisible things were created by God?
"O Lord, are you not from everlasting?" (Hab. 1.12) "For by him were all things created, in the heavens and upon the earth, things visible and things invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers" (Col. 1.16). If you can't answer this, but still avoid it, then aren't you showing you worship a false Christ? Therefore, you are going to Hell.
There is something very wrong with changing the orthodox meaning of the Christian God.
To change or redefine God into gods or 3 beings which is clearly polytheism (henotheism, tritheism) and no longer monotheism, then call yourself Christian flies in the face of "the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch" (Acts 11.26). Like "Agrippa said to Paul, 'You almost persuade me to become a Christian'" (Acts 26.28), you have the same attitude. God is not a personal Being to you, but a complex of beings which lose the personableness of the Trinity in His Three Persons. Thank you Lord for this understanding, revelation and discernment!
How can there be two God's?
How can there be two Apha's, two I AM's, two "first" from everlasting without being the Trinity? You have never been able to solve this problem of your faith. It's morally bankrupt, logically incoherent and hostile to monotheism. Just like atheists are living a lie of infinite regress you are too, to reject the Almighty where there is no God before Him, beside Him or after Him. Because you reject God of the Bible, you are going to Hell. Why not have the consideration to explain how to resolve this and talk personally with someone who is trying to understand and help you?
Please don't be offended by what God wants you to see.
He loves you and doesn't want you to perish, but you must accept Him as He is and not a counterfeit, facsimile you create in your own selfish image, because of your unwillingness to come to the God who keeps. You're a victim of your own "selfish desire to be in control," not letting Jesus be the Lord of your life. No man can save himself or keep himself saved. It's impossible. How arrogant man is in thinking he can worship God his own way! "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God" (Eph. 2.8). Jesus said, "My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand" (John 10.27-29). "Not of works, lest any man should boast" (Eph. 2.9).
It's Not Too Late for you Doug
The Mormon Church is not the Church and you are not a Christian because you worship a false Christ. There are so many things wrong with your church and Joseph Smith, but I want you to focus on the key ones which eternally separate you from the body of Christ and Jesus Himself. Know that you are a in a cult and the reason you avoid and are unwilling to address these points time and again is because that is the only way you can remain a member of the Mormon Church. This is the nature of being in a cult shutting your mind down to the only way to be saved and who Jesus really is.
Revelation doesn't contradict itself with the final word of God (66 books of the Bible from Genesis to Revelation). Shutting your mind down is not a sign of repentance. There are consequences:
"For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book" (Rev. 22.18,19).
Those who believed in Christ "shall never perish" (John 10.28), but Mormons/LDS say they can perish.
"All things were made by him [Jesus]; and without him was not any thing made that was made" (John 1.3), but Mormons/LDS say Jesus didn't create everything.
The Triune God "who alone" (1 Tim. 6.16) is "from everlasting" (Neh. 9.5), but Mormons/LDS say He is not.
Joseph Smith was a great liar as his father of lies. His purpose was to take as many people to Hell with him as as he could, "until you...are able to dwell in everlasting burnings" (LDS President Joseph Smith, History of the Church, Vol.6, Ch.14, p.305-6, LDS Collectors Library '97 CD-ROM).
"Ye are my witnesses, saith Jehovah, and my servant whom I have chosen; that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me" (Isaiah 43.10).
Salvation is not by works. Works flow from true regeneration, but works done without true regeneration can't save you Doug. I am glad to see you are not into polygamy anymore, but you still fail to address a cult that starts out polygamous is no Church at all. We are "justified by faith in Christ, and not by works: for by works shall no flesh be justified" (Gal. 2.16). "He said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace. And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight: thy faith hath saved thee" (Luke 7.50, 18.42). "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God" (Eph. 2.8). Doug, you still by faith worship a false Christ and so shall you remain unsaved and bound for Hell under the leadership of the Mormon and LDS who will join you shortly in the Lake of Fire along with Satan, the fallen angels, demons and every unsaved soul that ever lived. No matter how good you thing you are in your "good self" the good self can't save you. It is still independent to God Almighty and your Creator Jesus Christ. Good works are way to self-exalt yourself in a false Christ while still rejecting Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Joseph Smith had the "spirit of the world" (1 Cor. 2.12) which is the spirit of antichrist, presenting another Christ, in claiming there was gods before God and after God. "Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are of God; for many false prophets have gone out into the world" (1 John 4.1). Joseph Smith was just another false prophet like Muhammad, Charles T. Russell, Ellen G. White, and Mary Baker Eddy--all easily disproven by God's loving Word. Amen.
Seems pretty clear to me God never had a God father and we will not become gods.
Therefore, Mormonism is a lie. Accept it. Take your medicine, leave the cult and give your life to the true Jesus who created all things. Otherwise, you will spend eternity in Hell Doug.
This is the choice God has presented you. He proved Himself and you still reject Him. You leave God no choice but to put you in Hell Doug for all eternity. How truly sad for you. It makes me sad this is how you are going to depart the world. You're an old man now with not much time left. What a selfish, self-centered, egotistical, and self-exalted man you are who cares not for the plain words of Scripture, for the Bible only agrees with you insofar as you agree with it. You want to be a God one day like God: "I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High" (Is. 14.14). Get ready for Hell, it won't be long now.
What planet is your God on now and when was that when he was a man before? The universe is only 13.7 billion years old, so how do you figure infinite regress out of that? And Jesus didn't create Lucifer but is his brother? What Satanic teachings! Surely, you should not be surprised why Christians reject you in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
God said come to Him with an honest heart, He will receive you in Christ. But you don't come to Him with an honest heart.
You really don't need to know anything else other than there is no blank spot in Christianity for 18 centuries. That's the biggest give away of all. That's Satan's accusation. Of course the Church has faltered through the centuries, but never so far as to need Mormonism and LDS. How absurd! The Christ you present is diabolically opposite to the Jesus of the Bible. If you were honest you could see that as the Holy Spirit has given you more than sufficient grace to be able to do so.
