BEREAN 6 Tradition by Bob Cornuke Part one of a two part series: Ignorance. Mud. The plague. When Rome fell to barbarian tribes, the civilization that the caesars had created fell apart. The Mediterranean Sea had been transformed into a Roman Lake as the Empire stretched across the known world, but 500 years after Augustus took the throne, a feeble Rome wallowed in gluttony and laziness. Waves of invasions from Germanic tribes left the Western Roman Empire in disarray. Trade routes were disrupted, infrastructure fell into disrepair, and education was abandoned in the interest of mere survival. The once-mighty empire took its final gasps of dissipated greatness and succumbed to a dusty collapse. Thus, began the Dark Ages...

FROM THE EDITOR

DEAR FRIENDS Dean Packwood Editor, Koinonia House

h

anding down of information, beliefs, and customs by word of mouth from one generation to another started in the Garden of Eden with God’s very first commandments to Adam:

And the LORD God commanded him: “You may eat freely from every tree of the garden, but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil; for in the day that you eat of it, you will surely die.”

Genesis 1:16-17

Traditions are very useful for conveying and teaching, however as we learn later in Genesis, external influences can alter and sometimes utterly corrupt these teachings resulting in traditions far removed from their initial conception.

Bob Cornuke takes a look at what has been manifested in the dark halls of history since the first-century church. Examining various man-made church traditions which have, far too often, strayed from clear Scriptural mandates. Bob will reveal hidden secrets of the past and point the way out of the malaise of manufactured traditions by setting compass, rudder, and sails aimed directly at God’s authoritative Word.

There are a lot of traditions, myths and theories as to what Heaven and Hell are. What happens when you die? How will we enter eternity?

Chuck Missler gives us some Biblical insights, and as he put it: This subject of life after death is truly one of the toughest.

May God bless you as you continue to study His Word.

The Mediterranean Sea had been transformed into a Roman Lake as the Empire stretched across the known world, but 500 years after Augustus took the throne, a feeble Rome wallowed in gluttony and laziness. Waves of invasions from Germanic tribes left the Western Roman Empire in disarray. Trade routes were disrupted, infrastructure fell into disrepair, and education was abandoned in the interest of mere survival. The once-mighty empire took its final gasps of dissipated greatness and succumbed to a dusty collapse. Thus, began the Dark Ages, a time known historically for warfare and misery as illiterate hoards overran Europe. During this time of uncertainty, the religious leadership of Rome stepped in to fill the enormous power vacuum.

In many ways, the Roman Church alone preserved the civilization of the dissolved Roman Empire, protecting ancient manuscripts and promoting clerical learning. Church leaders provided direction for fearful populations reeling from an undefined fate. Yet, as the power of the church increased, so did the draw of high church positions. Lingering corruption from pagan Rome seeped into the religious hierarchy, and while there were good Lingering corruption popes and bishops from pagan Rome devoted to morality seeped into the and righteousness, religious hierarchy... there were some really corrupt ones as well. As time went on, the church of Christ looked less and less like Jesus and more like any other human institution. In all times of church history, there have been those who sincerely sought to follow God in Christ Jesus and this is true in the Roman Catholic Church. Conversely, there have been those who used the church to pursue their own self-aggrandizing agendas, to the harm of all.

Robert Cornuke - a former police investigator and SWAT team member - is a biblical investigator, international explorer, lecturer and author. He was the President of the Bible Archaeology Search and Exploration (BASE) Institute and is now Lead Research Specialist at Koinonia House. He has participated in over 60 expeditions searching for lost locations described in the Bible and has been featured on major television networks, including ABC, FOX, CNN, National Ge o g ra p h i c a n d t h e History Channel.

He and his wife, Terry, along with their children, make their home in the Pikes Peak region of Colorado.

They were dark times. The Word of God was sucked into the religio-political whirlwind of the Middle Ages and copies of the Bible became scarce. Few people could read anyway, and they had to depend on church leaders The Word of God was to teach them God’s Word. But, in sucked into the religio- the mountains and scattered villages of Europe, even the clerics lacked a political whirlwind of Bible and most were not up to the the Middle Ages and task. It was in this medieval petri copies of the Bible dish that many church traditions became scarce. were cultured.

of God, practices found nowhere in the Bible became commonplace.

Slowly, slowly these traditions from the creative minds of men came to replace simple biblical teachings. Some of these have incited centuries of heated deliberation, raising the serious question: which church traditions are organic to God’s intended purposes and which were promoted long ago by men with agendas? That’s the primary question.

We have traditions in our churches, and nobody even knows where they came from! We find that a number of traditions crept into the church during the Middle Ages, Confusing ideas crept during a time when people did not in, ideas that pointed have the Bible readily available to people in every direction read themselves. Confusing ideas except closer to Jesus crept in, ideas that pointed people in Christ. every direction except closer to Jesus Christ. People added their own ideas as additions to the Bible, and we find that’s a very dangerous thing to do.

The warning we find in the last words of the Bible should ring alarm bells in the souls of each one of us: For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book; and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

Revelation 22:18-19

We need to heed these words in Revelation and be careful not to put our own words in God’s mouth.

Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ.

Colossians 2:8

It is easy to find books that present a hyperbolic history of the Middle Ages with an end game of Catholic bashing. That is not my purpose 8

here. The history of the Roman Catholic Church is the history of the Christian church in the West. It belongs to all of us. What’s more, the situation today is light years from the times when popes sanctioned the mass killings of Christian minorities and Jews and any others considered heretics. No more fathers are being dragged from their homes to town squares to be burned alive in front of their children. The screams for mercy have been replaced with calls of “that was then and this is now.”

Roman Catholic ministries today practice acts of love that stand across the universe from the abuse of those nefarious times. Roman Catholics perform countless charitable relief efforts in some of the most dangerous and inhospitable places on earth, and these men and women today deserve respect for their devotion to humanitarian acts of feeding the poor and relieving widows and orphans.

Our world looks completely different today than it did during the Spanish Inquisition or the Reformation. Protestants and Catholics have aligned together on many common areas of interest, on morality and family and faith in Christ. There are still profound disagreements and still stark divisions, but we also find a lot of common ground.

As Christian believers, we need to work We should all dare to be like the Bereans together to honestly discern what is true.

Too often, we find that the unbending in Acts 17:11, who faith of those around us is based on were called “noble” nothing more than what their parents because they searched told them, without question or biblical the Scriptures to see justification. We should all dare to be if the things Paul was like the Bereans in Acts 17:11, who were teaching them were called “noble” because they searched the accurate.

Scriptures to see if the things Paul was teaching them were accurate. God pleads for us to test Him, because through testing comes ultimate truth. Remaining faithful to church dogmas is only commendable if those dogmas are based on the intentions of the Bible’s writers.

I find it remarkable that some — not even active in their churches — will defend their particular denomination against challenges even though VOLUME 28 | ISSUE 07 |

they may not have a remote clue what the Bible actually says on the matter. Many can quote one verse or another from the Bible, but they have no idea about the multitude of other verses that add perspective to the issue. This is a very thin and dangerous tightrope on which to walk into eternity. If a tradition is from God, we will be able to find it already lodged in the pages of God’s Word. If not, we are letting a democracy of the dead guide us into the unknown.

Why do you also transgress the commandment of God because of your tradition?

Matthew 15:3

To get some answers to this most challenging subject, I determined to perform a historical autopsy on the medieval times for the purpose of finding the roots of common church traditions. These include both those within the Catholic and Protestant faiths. I wanted to know where these doctrines originated and how they came to be so tightly wedged in the public consciousness. I wanted to see if they were justified by the Bible or whether they contradict the words of Jesus Christ. It was a far more difficult task than anticipated as I hacked my way through the thick hide of historical misinformation and past gobs of distortions. I eventually ended up deep into the marrow of those moldering old bones of church tradition, and what I found there left me absolutely stunned.

Let’s say you are a man living in 13th century Europe. Fear is an ominous dark cloud following you for your entire life. Yes, you will love, have children, drink, dance, sing and pray, but lingering behind your every step will be the dread of detrimental mischief from God and the Devil.

From as long as you can remember, you have been taught that cunning demons can occupy just about anything. Animals, spiders, dust, the trunk of a tree, or even a stranger, all might be the abode of the Devil himself. As a child, you listened to your grandfather tell scary stories in front of the embers of late night fire. In that flickering glow, you clung breathlessly to every word, imagining frightening things prowling just outside the mud walls of your humble dwelling. You sat, eyes wide open, as the old man told of dracs which could grab inattentive lads and drag them, screaming, into the maw of a nearby cave. Then there were the 10

stories of ghouls walking along the village edge, creeping in and out of moonlight shadows in search of freshly dug graves.

Fear is everywhere; and sadly, the church seems to add to the problem.

The common people know they will suffer God’s vengeful wrath if they divert from the priest’s words. They fear the church, purgatory, hell, mass, confessionals, torture, war, plagues, witches and all manner of superstitions. A woman might stand vigilant over a shrouded body until burial, fearing a black cat will scamper across the corpse, transforming the deceased into a vampire. To prevent a recently dead man from drowning in the afterlife, ladies hurriedly dump all the water from the flower vases, pots, and bowls in the home.

Despite these things, your small village has always been your home and you know nothing better than the cramped cottages separated by VOLUME 28 | ISSUE 07 |

rain rutted lanes and weedy rock walls. Outside your front door, razor backed hogs grunt and wallow in the puddles. Geese and nervy chickens squawk and cluck about the streets. Your yard is piled high with corn cribs, pigeon pens, and a dung mound taller than your front door. Soot from a thousand fires blackens the rafters inside your home, where rats scamper about under the rustling thatch of your roof. The floor beneath your feet is moist from spilled beer and spit. Dried fish skin is stretched over a small window opening to keep out the rain while allowing a few light beams to penetrate the smoky haze.

The church is the most important building in town, although the parapets of the castle poke high above the canopy of trees. Your neighbor serves as a scullery maid in the castle kitchen, and she tells your wife of bountiful feasts, where tables groan under the weight of pigs and mutton, pies and puddings. Lords and ladies gather around the massive fireplace while their meat roasts to perfection. You don’t know whether to believe these descriptions, but you don’t envy the superiors who are granted such wonders. God has made you what you are. Who are you to question God? You have seen snooping busybodies hanging about under the eaves of your roof, listening to your conversations in the evening. You know that a lonely neighbor woman was overheard talking to herself in her cottage. It was determined she had been communicating with an evil spirit, and she was summarily put on trial. They tortured her horribly until she confessed to being a witch. She was then burned alive at the stake while the other villagers cursed her wickedness. You fear that somebody will find evil in your wife or daughters, and you keep them quietly inside at night.

It’s a world of constant anxiety, and there is little comfort from God the supreme Judge. It’s not that God is absent. The whole village knows that God is watching and closely observing the daily village activities. When a gust of wind flings open a door, all those present hurriedly make the sign of the cross. The large timbered cross in the square reminds all that God casts His long shadow over their business dealings. God is He who shoots bolts of lightning from the rain gorged clouds, sending many to the church altar to shudder in teeth-grinding terror.

Sunday is a compulsory day for church. If you work in the field on Sunday you fear God will be irritated and perhaps kill you or make your next child malformed. There is no option to remain at home; you will attend church or spend Monday on a wooden cucking stool in the town square to face the jeering of all who pass by.

In the church, there are no pews — just straw scattered to lightly pad the hard ground. A neighbor has carried in a small, hollow metal sphere with a few smoldering coals to add some warmth to the cold, damp room. The village priest dutifully recites the Mass, but neither he nor those in the room can understand a single word of the strange, tortured Latin. It is an exercise in patience to sit silently until the prescribed words come to their end, a stream of little more than mumbled incantations.

Nobody in town owns a Bible. Bibles are rare, carefully copied out by monks in distant monasteries, and lay people aren’t permitted to own them. They are especially not free to own Bibles in the common language.

A Bible translated into the vernacular is considered contraband, and an unthinkable crime punishable by imprisonment or death.

This was the religious life of the common man in the 13th century. He was required to trust the church leaders for his religious instruction, but too many of the church leaders themselves were ignorant of the Bible’s words. Today we question how innocent people were killed for their faith in the Middle Ages. How could such brutality take place in the Christian lands of Europe? To get our answers, let’s go back to a time when the official church leadership decided to toss out the Bible as the basis for the Christian faith. It was in the maelstrom of isolation and fear that the light of God’s Word was bent into an ethereal abyss and replaced by church traditions that favored those in control. It was also a time when heretics were hunted and killed. ... To be continued. Part 2 will appear in the Aug. 2018 issue of the Personal Update.

HEAVEN & HELL

hat happens when we die?

This is one of those all-important questions. It’s one that should keep us all awake until we know the answer. Is there life after death? Should we declare, “Eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we die,” or do our actions in this life have repercussions in our eternities?

This subject of life after death is truly one of the toughest for many reasons. First, it’s painful to get our arms around. It’s a scary topic; one people love to brush away with trite clichés. Second, it has been plagued with many myths and superstition. Yet, this topic is unquestionably the most important I’ve ever addressed.

We like to kid around about death. A multitude of jokes begin, “An accountant/engineer/lawyer died and reached the Pearly Gates…”

We find memes that say, “If I died and went to Hell, it would take me a week to realize I wasn’t at work anymore.” Even with all our humor about the issue, most of us understand the seriousness of the matter. If the world continues as it has, we are all going to die one day. We will all pass through that veil, and it’s vital we understand what we’ll face on the other side.

What happens when we die? When we pass through that portal, what’s the first thing we run into? Many people deny the existence of an afterlife, but we find that even skeptics wonder as they approach that final door.

What is Heaven like?

Is there really a Hell?

We are used to the media’s answers to these questions. The Far Side comics show God winning Jeopardy, or Satan and his cronies laughing at the notes in Hell’s “suggestions” box. When Bugs Bunny and Sylvester the Cat die, they float up to a cloud with little angel wings and harps. When Bill and Ted go to Hell, they are chased by their worst nightmares, but to escape they have to beat the Grim Reaper at games of Battleship, Clue and Twister. The media have their ideas about God, Satan, Heaven and Hell.

It’s interesting that the majority of American adults in our post-modern world continue to believe in life after death.

It’s interesting that the majority of American adults in our post-modern world continue to believe in life after death. Despite all the best efforts of the atheists and humanists in our universities, people generally believe that we do have souls, and they believe a final judgment does exist. According to the Pew Research Center’s 2014 Religious Landscape Study, a full 72% of Americans from all manner of backgrounds believe in some form of Heaven, defined as a place “where people who have led good lives are eternally rewarded.” Fewer people are willing to believe in Hell, but 58% (nearly three-fifths) still said they believe in a place “where people who have led bad lives and die without being sorry are eternally punished.”

Belief in Heaven and Hell isn’t relegated to those from mainline religions. According to the Pew Research study, even among those with no particular religious viewpoint, 50% believed in a place of reward in the afterlife, and more than one-third (36%) believed in a place of punishment.

Even among those

Of course, when people talk about who believe in Hell, Heaven and Hell, they have their own many regard it as a ideas of what those places look like. They symbolic place. might agree on some kind of destination of eternal punishment or reward, but their versions of the afterlife can have nothing to do with what the Bible actually says. Even among those who believe in Hell, many regard it as a symbolic place. Some believe it is simply a state of eternal separation from God’s presence. Very few see 20

Hell as an actual prison of torment and suffering where souls go after death. Fewer than one person in 100 thinks he or she will end up there.

The majority of Americans believe they will go to Heaven. There are handfuls of those who have no idea where they will go when they die, and others who believe they will return as another life form. Many people are confused and have vague mixtures of beliefs they’ve gleaned from a variety of religions. Another scattering of people believe they simply cease to exist after death. Their body goes into the ground, and that’s it.

Going to Heaven Let’s get something straight right here at the very beginning of this book.

The Bible is clear that there is both a Heaven and a Hell, and God wants everybody to go to Heaven. Did you know that? Peter and Ezekiel both tell us that God has no desire to punish us for our sins. He wants us to repent of our sins and be forgiven. That’s what God wants. Listen to God’s heart in the Old Testament: But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die. All his transgressions that he hath committed, they shall not be mentioned unto him: in his righteousness that he hath done he shall live. Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord GOD: and not that he should return from his ways, and live?

Ezekiel 18:21-23

Near the end of the Bible, an elderly Peter explains that Christ’s delay in returning has been an act of mercy, giving us all more time. Jude 1:1415 warns us that Christ’s Second Coming will be a time of judgment against those who cling to ungodliness, and Peter lets us know the Lord is putting it off for our sakes.

The Lord is not slack concerning 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.

2 Peter 3:9

Personal UPDATE | JULY 2018

God wants us all to be saved. That’s precisely why He sent Jesus to die for us. God sent His only begotten Son to die for the sins of the world because He loves us and wants to rescue us from our predicament. This is what Jesus tells us in the most famous passage in the entire Bible: For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

John 3:16-17

One of the most surprising things we find in the Bible, however, is the God of Eternity does not always get what He wants. God is all-powerful, mighty and holy, but in His majesty, He has given us freedom to make our decisions, even if we reject Him.1 There will be those who refuse to turn from their wicked ways, who refuse to humble themselves before the God of all creation. Those foolish individuals walk down our streets every day, and sin must be punished. If we do not accept Christ’s death for our sins, we’re stuck facing that punishment ourselves. Christ’s sacrifice is the only way out of a hopeless situation. In the very next verses in John, Jesus says: He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

John 3:18-19

Most Americans who believe in Heaven also believe they are going there.

We hope they’re right, but unfortunately, many people have a completely incorrect idea about what it takes to get to Heaven. We find that a large number of people think that “being a good person” is the requirement, and that’s not what the Bible says. We cannot get to Heaven by our good deeds, or by obeying the Ten Commandments, or because God loves everybody and would never send anybody to Hell. These ideas are 1 See our study The Sovereignty of Man for an in-depth analysis of what the Bible says about the balance between God’s sovereignty and human responsibility.

not biblical. Turning from sin is an important part of the process (and some of us have to do it every day), but it’s Christ’s blood that saves us.

Certainly, God loves us. That’s true. Certainly, God is not willing that anybody should perish. However, because God loves us, He gave us a way to escape our just punishment — and we have a part to play in the deal. Paul tells us plainly: That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

Romans 10:9-11

God sent His Son to make the payment for our sins, and our ticket lies in believing in Him — in repenting and believing in the work that He did on the cross for us. The work we do for Christ, we do because we love Him, and because we want to serve Him. We cannot work our way into Heaven, and woe to us if we try.

On October 21, 2003, the Barna Group released their study, Americans Describe Their Views About Life After Death. According to the Barna study, the Americans of the early 21st century believed in Heaven and Hell even more strongly than those in the Pew Research study a decade later. In 2003, 76% of Americans believed in some kind of Heaven, but a full 71% believed in some kind of Hell. However, even then, fewer than 1% of those interviewed believed that they themselves were heading for Hell.

The Barna study found that a large number of Americans believed they were going to Heaven, and 43% thought this was true because they had, “confessed their sins and accepted Jesus Christ as their Savior.” That’s nearly half, which is encouraging. However, those who recognized their need for Jesus as Savior also held a variety of contradictory beliefs. Among those who saw themselves as “born again,” 10% said they believed that people are reincarnated after death, while 29% claimed it was possible to communicate with the dead, and a full 50% agreed that a person could earn their salvation based on good works.

On the other hand, we find that some self-described atheists and agnostics believe in an afterlife, and some even understand that Heaven is attained by seeking forgiveness through Jesus Christ. They might not believe Jesus is alive, or that He is God, but they understand that if God does exist after all, Jesus is the means to salvation.

It’s clear that even in the United States, still considered by many to be a “Christian” country, there is a widespread problem with misinformation.

Too many Americans, even those who believe in God and claim Jesus as their Savior, have failed to do their homework. They believe whatever feels most comfortable to them, according to what they like or want to believe, and not according to the Word of God. This is an area of real concern. Whether there is a Heaven or a Hell is an important issue to get right. These are questions we can’t take lightly.

It’s vital to be certain we know how to get to Heaven and how to avoid Hell — and we shouldn’t wait until we’re on death’s door to consider the matter in depth. Any one of us can get hit by a truck tomorrow and have no further options.

In this little book, we will work to shed the baggage of our misconceptions and presumptions on this topic. We’re going to explore what the Bible says, and we’ll also consider the role of the creation and our conceptions of reality.

One of the most important things we can cover in this book is the importance of facing the truth. We have a serious problem with truth avoidance in our culture. We don’t like to deal with painful or difficult realities. We’d rather watch television or hide down at the local tavern.

This is a particular subject area in which willful ignorance is most dangerous, especially since it is impossible for us to remain ignorant forever. The truth will show itself to us in the end, and knowing what it is will help us ensure that it lands in our favor.

The truth has little to do with what feels good to us. It rarely has anything to do with what we’d prefer. The truth is what it is, whether we like it or not.

William Paley is credited with a well-known statement against avoiding truth. He said: There is a principle which is a bar against all information, Which is proof against all argument, And which cannot fail to keep man in everlasting ignorance. That principle is condemnation before investigation.2 We find an equivalent idea in the writings of Solomon, who said in Proverbs 18:13: “He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him.”

In his book, Chuck suggests that we all set aside the presumptions and presuppositions that we all bring to this topic — because we all have them — and let’s explore this difficult subject with the purpose of getting solid answers to hard questions.

This excerpt is from Chuck Missler's book Heaven and Hell.

The original is not to be found in William Paley’s own works, but something similar is found in his 1794 book, A View of the Evidences of Christianity. This quote is often incorrectly attributed to Herbert Spenser.

AVAILABLE on our online store: resources.khouse.org Roman law required written documents containing all the pertinent background regarding a case, to precede an appellant's appearance before Caesar. There are some scholars who suspect that the two volumes penned by Luke were to comply with those requirements.

"Luke Volume II," often called "The Acts of the Apostles," completes the "Pentateuch of the New Testament." The traditional title of this book is, in some respects, a misnomer: it primarily deals with the "acts" of Peter and Paul.

It really should be called "The Acts of the Holy Spirit."

This review will explore the continuing mysteries of Hag Shavuot in Acts 2; the surprises in the history lesson Stephen gives the Sanhedrin in Acts 7; the controversies dealt with in the Council of Jerusalem in Acts 15; the seamanship details which permitted the discovery of the anchors cut loose in Acts 27, as well as the adventures of Paul and his companions during his missionary journeys.

HOW TO STUDY THE BIBLE From forty years of intensive Bible study and teaching, Missler shares his favorite helps, secrets and practical suggestions on how to take the Bible seriously.

Most Christians, although they want to do indepth Bible study, know little of the types, philosophies and tools of study available. Is the Bible to be taken literally or figuratively? What study aids would be most helpful in beginning my own home study library?
