The Parable of The Dragnet (Mt. 13:47-50) (Part 4)

OBSERVATIONS (cont'd)

  • There is no such thing as Porky Pig theology.
    • Porky Pig was famous for what line?
      • “That’s all folks!”
    •  There is a belief called annihilationism.
      • It simply means that when you die, “that’s all folks."
        • That’s all she wrote.
        • There is no hereafter.
    • To believe in annihilationism is to make Jesus a liar.
      •  I’m sure you don’t intend to do that!
      •  Jesus said there would be a separation.
        • The wicked will be separated from the righteous.
  • There is no truth in universalism.
    • Universalism teaches that everyone goes to heaven no matter what.
    • Universalism suggests that a loving God wouldn’t send people to hell.
    • What do you do, then, with this separation of bad fish from good fish?
      • Do you do a Jefferson and cut it out because you’re not comfortable with it?
    • The sad reality is that everyone does not go to heaven.
      • I didn’t say everyone can’t go to heaven (2 Pet 3:9).
        • God has scripted in man's response called repentance.
