Grace, the Forbidden Gospel - Online Christian Library

Introduction
You might want to burn this book after reading the first chapter. Then again, you might devour it in a few
days...
If you’ve never been exposed to hearing the gospel preached by Paul the Apostle in its pure, undiluted form,
this book might offend and possibly even anger you. The gospel of grace has been outlawed and frowned
upon by most organized religious institutions. Take courage though, there is a generation of believers rising
up in the earth whose eyes are opening to the truth of the gospel of grace – a wave of people that has grown
fed up with the way that church is done: Either good news is preached with some guilt and manipulation
mixed in, or church services take the form of well orchestrated shows. Many believers’ entire lives are
reduced to nothing more than a sin management program, running the endless treadmill of trying to please
God by doing more for Him or trying to sin less.
If you have been raised with religion, then understanding the gospel of grace may involve unlearning most of
what you have learnt through the years. It may initially feel as though the carpet is being plucked from under
your feet, but as the perfume of God’s love rises and the truth of the Word begins to set you free, you will find
yourself unable to resist the Father’s romantic advances, drawing you into Himself for a deeper experience of
who He is.
The gospel of grace (that was first given to Paul in a revelation from God - Galatians 1:12) shook the
foundations of the religious world of his day. Paul preached a different message than Jesus, but for a good
reason: They were living under different covenants. Jesus condemned the religious Pharisees and Scribes for
trying to uphold their own “watered down” version of the law, but He showed compassion to sinners. Paul
understood that Christ was the fulfillment of the law and he preached God’s love and acceptance apart from
trying to uphold the law’s requirements. Both were however persecuted for their message by the religious
leaders of their day. This is why “religion” is rightfully considered today by many (especially non-believers) as
one of the most destructive forces on the planet.
“Religion” is a powerless form of godliness that robs people of a real relationship with their Maker and drives
them into a lifestyle of endless frustration and doubt about whether they are ever really saved. All of that can
change by reading this book.
Difficult Questions in the Bible
Have you ever been stuck with some of those theological questions that simply would not go away? Have you
ever wondered why it feels as though there is something “missing” at church? Have you ever considered why
you never seem to have boldness when you pray, with that niggling feeling of guilt and unworthiness always in
the back of your mind? This book will help you to:
Discover the golden thread of God’s love that runs through the Bible, starting with Adam and Eve in the
Garden of Eden, understanding why it appears as though He “changed His mind” in the Old Testament
(severely punishing Israel and allowing thousands of people to be massacred) and how this picture of God
has warped and influenced our view of Him.
Find out why there is famine and wars and hurt in the world today when God claims to be a loving God.
Be swept along in this journey of clearing away the fog surrounding those seemingly harsh and
contradictory verses in the Bible.
Understand what happens to the spirit, soul and body of a believer the moment they are born again.
Disarm those “intimidating” verses and perceptions that always seem to put you on the back foot, such as
the unforgivable sin, tithing, Job’s afflictions, the 10 Commandments, etc.
And many more.
If you find yourself angered and offended by the first few chapters, simply press on regardless - the answers
will come.
So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; it shall not return to Me void, but it shall
accomplish what I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it. (Isa 55:11 NKJV)
