for yourselves and all humanity that shall be born from you. You have re
jected my government. You have rejected me as your God and Savior. You
have rejected me as Revealer of basic knowledge. Therefore I SENTENCE YOU
AND ALL HUMANITY to be CUT OFF FROM ME FOR SIX THOUSAND YEARS--EXCEPT FOR
THE VERY FEW I shall specially call, for special service preparing for the
KINGDOM OF GOD, which shall begin after the 6,000 years. GO form your
own knowledge, form your own gods and religions, form yourc:iwn governments
over nations. You will NOT be cut off from Satan, and therefore he will
sway you in all you do into HIS WAY of vanity, lust and coveting, jealousy
and envy, competition and strife, rebellion and destruction."
This present evil world resulted.
God did call a few.
though He denied them His
Israel. He sent Christ.

He has called a comparatively VERY FEW into

Jesus said plainly and emphatically, "NO MAN CAN come to me, except
the Father...draw him" (John 6:44). No man CAN. Except for those specially
called for special duty, all humanity has been CUT OFF from God! God has
NOT, as yet, been trying to GET THE WORLD "savecf:"
But the children of those called are SET APART in a SEPARATE CATEGORY.
This is BIG NEWS, not heretofore been taught in God's CHURCH!
In I Corinthians 7:8-9, Paul addresses THE UNMARRIED and widows. In
verses 10-11 he addresses THE MARRIED! In verses 12-16 he addresses "the
rest."
Who can that be? The context explains.
"If any brother hath a wife that believeth not
(Verse 12), and she
be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away." A church member
CANNOT divorce a non-church member, so long as that non-church member is
willing to keep the marriage intact. Too many of our people are getting
"liberal" at this point! The same is true of a believing wife who has a
non-believing husband. As long as they can live in reasonable peace, THERE
CAN BE NO DIVORCE!
Now verse 14: "For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wite."
What does that mean? Not made "sanctimonious," but put in a SEPARATE
CATEGORY--although non-believer, such non-member husband is NOT CUT OFF
from God. Verse 16: ''For what knowest thou, 0 wife, whether thou shalt
save thy husband?" He is not converted, but he is NOT CUT OFF--meaning
he CAN come to Christ IF WILLING!
Now notice verse 14 aqain: "For the unbelievino husband is sanctified"
(put in a special category�-not necessarily called, but NOT CUT OFF--free
to come to Christ IF HE WISHES!) Continue: "else were your children un
clean"--that is, CUT OFF from God like other children are! "But now are
they holy." Or, in other words, the children of a believing parent are
SET APART, in the sense that THEY ARE NOT CUT OFF FROM GOD as are other
children!
It does not mean they are converted. Just that they are NOT "cut off"
from God--the believing parent can TEACH THEM, and when they are mature,
hopefully they may be converted.
