But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved." Matt. 24:12,13
Posting that prophetic verse as your attempt to prove that "enduring" is the only way to stay saved, shows us that you have no understanding of the Cross of Christ, or the New Covenant, or what it actually means to be born again.
So, this "endure to the end", ... phrase... is one of those basic verses used by hyper religious people, who are trying to work their way to heaven.. and never will.
Now, READER......if you have a Bible, a NT.. go to Matthew 24:12, and put your Thumb in Matthew 25:15, and read where Jesus says "endure to the End shall be saved".. in Mattew 24:12
So, we see that Episkops can't do anything but quote another verse out of context to try to prove a false theological deception.
Now, Let me show you the verses so that you can see Episkopos....., and also understand the Verses.
Listen,
Jesus was talking to the Apostles. and said.>>"endure to the end"....
Q.) Endure to the END of what?
The ""END""" of What?
Well, Episkopos cant tell you, because He is not using a BIBLE, he is using a commentary that has his teaching in it, and this commentary writer is a deceiver, and the theology is a deception>.
So......Here is the understanding of what Jesus is Teaching, in Matt.
1.) , Jesus is a Prophet, and prophets can reveal "foreknowledge"...or = "revelation of what is to COME".
Jesus is not about to "predestined" it, He is about to reveal His FOREKnowledge..
Understand?
So, Jesus says......"he that endures to the END... shall be SAVED"....
So, we know that we are saved today..... by "all that believe in Jesus".. "shall be Saved".. .Or as Jesus said.>>"He that BELIEVES in Me, i give unto them eternal LIVE"..
That is how WE were saved.. that is what we Preach. as that is the Gospel.. "believe and Receive"..
You Take Jesus, and God takes You..
"All that call on the name of Jesus, shall be SAVED"....... no enduring, no working to try to be good enough... to be accepted.
So, in Matthew 24.... who is this who.... "endures to the END (of what),..... and they shall be saved"?
Well, to find that out, you have to read a BIBLE, into the next Chapter, and Jesus shows us the context of that "END".. that shows us when it will be, that you have to "endure to the END."" of it.
Matthew 24:15-16
15 """When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, """
See that Reader?
That is the GREAT TRIBULATION.. the 2nd half of the 7 Yrs, that is spoken of by DANIEL....
So, Jesus is prophesying.... to the Apostles, about the Great Tribulatation.
He tells them, when you see the "Abomination of Desolation", then that is when you "endure to the END to be saved"..
The wont be there.
You wont be there.
No worries.
A.) The END of the TRIBULATION
So, people who are not actually students of the bible, but pretend to be, teach that you are to endure to the end to stay saved... to keep yourself saved... right now.
Yet they dont tell you "the END of what'... because they dont know that Jesus is talking about the Great TRIB.
