Prophet*s Column
"Under Grace"
uj Muii miuc
The Lord is not slack con
cerning his promise, as some
men count slackness; but is
longsuffering to us-ward, not
willing that any should perish,
but that all should come to
repentance. (II Pet. 3:9).
At this time our subject is;
Under Grace-God is Not Will
ing That Any Should Perish.
This message is a sister mess
age to the message we brought
just recently on the subject;
Under Judgment - He That
Sitteth in the Heavens Shall
Laugh.
Practically every Arminian
thinks II Pet. 3:9 and Ps. 2:4,
and Prov. 1:26 are contradic
tory Scriptures. Let me say
this; no Scripture is contra
dictory of another. All the
Word of God is in harmony.
The contradiction lies in your
blind and depraved mind and
heart. Then, as an'Arminian,
you'll come back and say that
the God of the Old Testament
is not the God of the New
Testament. Let me answer
that argument with this Scrip
tun; "For I am the LORD, I
change not; therefore ye sons
of Jacob are not consumed."
(Mai. 3:6) Also listen to Heb
13:8 "Jesus Christ the same
yesterday, and today, and
forever."
What could be any plainer?
What ignorance and blindness
ιο say the God of the Old
Testament is different from
the God of the New Testa
ment.
Now, let's see how these
Scriptures here in II Pet., Ps.
2, and Prov. 1 are in harmony.
As we told you before, God has
two ways in which He deals
with all mankind; under judg
ment, or under grace. As an
Arminian, you'll keèp harping
that God is not willing that any
should perish, and that God is
a God of love and would not
send anybody to burn in Hell.
Many easy believers use this
Scripture to their own damna
tion. Now you listen to me if
you can. The key word in II
Pet. 3:9 is "US-WARD".·
"but is longsuffering to "us
ward," not willing that any
should perish, "... He didn ' t say
longsuffering to the world, no.
But to us-ward, meaning the
elect. God is not willing that
any elect should perish, and no
elect will peristal Under Judg- !
ment, God sits in the Heavens
and Laughs at rebellious non
you see how these Scriptures
harmonize? There is no con
tradition!
1 was talking to a young man
just recently who said; "then
you are saying that only the
elect will be saved?" I re
plied, that's right, only the
elect will be saved, Paul said;
_ "chosen in Him (in Christ)
before the foundation of the
world." (Eph.l).
inais π gut, onjy elect sinners
will be saved, the Bible teach
es a limited atonement! I went
on to tell that young Jehovah
, Witness that if the Bible
S taught universal salvation, ·
then God would have to save
the Devil and fallen angels,
but God made no provision to
save the Devil nor the fallen
angels.
So many of you, and every
Arminian wants to take God
as a God of mercy and not as a
God of wrath. But before you
can know God as a God of
mercy, you must know Him as
'* a God of wrath! When I was
awakened to my loet condi
tion, 1 didn't see God as love,
but as wrath. I knew His wrath
was burning against me as a
hell deserving sinner. I was
brought to see that I was
condemned to die and justly so
because I was in rebellion
against a holy and righteous
God. Have you ever seen that?
If not, then you an not saved!
No sinner is saved apart from
Holy Spirit Conviction. The
ministry has skipped over
Holy Spirit Conviction today.

without thoee sinners ever
being awakened to their lost
and undone condition as guilty
hell deserving sinners. Have
you ever seen that you deserve
to go to hell? If not, then you
are not saved.
It means something to be
saved. The greatest thing in
all the world is just to know
Christ as your Lord and your
Saviour. Do you know Christ?
Do you? Some of you say you
are enjoying these messages,
you can enjoy these messages
and still not be saved. Has the
truth ever gone home to your
heart that you are a sinner?
That you are lost and out of
Christ? Has it? You can sit
there and enjoy these truths
we are setting forth from week
to week and die and go to hell.
When the Lord said that He
was not willing that any
should perish but that all
was speaking of His elect only
Now when you look at these
Scriptures as we have ex
pounded on them, you see the
'harmony. If you say that
Christ died for everybody,
head-count, and it is up to the
sinner to believe on Christ,
then you are throwing salva
tion back in the hands of a
dead and lifeless poor deprav
ed child of Satan, a fallen
creature. Let me hasten to
say, he who goes astray on the
TOTAL DEPRAVITY of man,
goes astray on all other teach
ings of the Word of God. That
is why the multitudes of you
disagree with the truth I set
forth from week to week here
You do not know man's totally
depraved condition, therefore
you do not know how to preach
to sinners. You do not know
the sinner's ruined and de
praved state as a child of the
Devil. All sinners are dead
(Eph. 2:1). How can a dead
man go to Christ, he can't A
sinner in his natural state can
no more desire Christ than a
dead body out in the cemetery
You preachers in the semin
ary ( the cemetery ) don't know
what I am talking about. You
are the pastor of a great
church, but you are a blind
guide leading your church
members to hell. Now you
think on that. The reason you
don't understand my mess
ages is because you, my
preacher friends are lost."
I'm glad, and praise the
Lord that before the founda
tion of the world, He elected
me to salvation in Christ. In
time, the Holy Spirit gave me
the Effectual Call and justi
fied me in Christ (Horn. 8:30).
Have you been called and
justified'' When was the last
time you told your people how
the Lord saved you?
I'll tell you something else,
if you call these messages
foolishness and embarrassing,
it's because you are loet. You
do not understand salvation by
grace. If you are saved, whv
haven't you and 1 fellowship in
Christ? You say you are saved
but you don't want to have
anything to do with Bro. Little.
My testimony reveals that ν ou
are lost. A leading preacher in
this community is put up to be
saved. The last time I saw him
he wouldn't hardly talk to me
and very soon got out of my
presence.
Do you know Christ? The
Lord is not willing that any of
His elect shall perish and none
shall. Praise the Lord. Are you
one of the elect? Do you long to
know Chrisf That's a good
sign you are one of the elect.
What is your standing before
the Lord, friend? How will you
fare?

Closing Coet-FHA & VA
BY : ALLON THOMPSON
CBR-NCAR-NAR
Closing costs are those fees paid in connection
with the transfer of property from seller to
ί® (tef***ned ^
andsize of the loan. Closing casts are negotiable
items as either the buyer or the seller can legally
pay them.
A breakdown of closing costs will show that the
attorney's fees for doing the title search and
closing the loan and the loan origination fee
paid to the mortgage company make up the
biggest part. Each of these costs about 1 percent
of the amount of the loan (for example: $30,000
loan amount $300 legal fee & $300 loan fee
approximately). Other costs cover the survey of
the property being purchased, the appraised,
title insurance to protect buyers rights to the
property, the appraisal fee, credit report,
recording fee to have the deed put on record, the
credit report on the buyer, and any notary fees.
This group of costs averages approximately 1
percent of loan amount also, for a combined
approximate cost of 3 percent of the loan amount
for closing costs. .
Both buyer and seller should fully be aware of
these costs; exactly how much they are and who
is expected to pay each of them at the loan
settlement. Ask for a full explanation before
entering any purchase or sale contract. It will
lessen the chance for any surprises later.
Other costs involved in closing a loan are the
pre-paid items (discussed in a previous answer
box), the discount points paid by the seller,
which will be covered later, and any pro-ration of
taxes, rents, etc. All these costs are detailed
exactly on a closing statement and should be
explained fully at the time of settlement.
