David J. Stewart(Jesus-Is-Savior.com)

I felt I have to reply to this thread. And before someone remarks that this thread is old and should not be updated, just remember the Bible is older than the Internet. And is continuously referenced. 

I have followed the Jesus Is Savior website for several years. As well as many other ones. But I use these websites to supplement my daily studies. I enter as a skeptic and do not simply follow and believe everything I read. Especially if the information contradicts what I have already learned from the Bible. It's debatable to me what is listed on those websites. Nothing more than one man's perception that I may or may not consider to be TRUTH.

That said. Over time I have arrived at a conclusion about David J Stewart's articles. They are 90% Truth and 10% FALSE.

What does that essentially mean? It means that He has preached much Truth to promote a VERY important lie. False salvation. His information contradicts itself. Because I can read and agree with most of what he preaches. Yet, in the end, he arrives at a completely wrong interpretation of salvation which contradicts much of what he wrote beforehand. This is an assumption. But I have to wonder if he committed some kind of crime and has used "simple salvation" to live in denial. I don't know. I could be wrong about that. But the important thing here is that he has twisted the Truth. He condemns the practices of churches (which I agree with). But in the same breath promotes a salvation that runs alongside the same salvation as the churches.

Overall. It seems to me that the information on his website has more than enough Truth to grab hold of the reader and lead them. Right into the path of destruction by the end of the paragraph.

Clearly the work of Satan. Isn't it clever for Satan to accuse his own work of being in his own name?

Stewart improperly defines "works salvation" as separating ourselves from Sin. I agree that doing good deeds won't pay off on their own. But it is "how" we apply ourselves that counts. Such as, being one of GOD's hands that reach into people's lives for the sake of leading others away from destruction. We never take credit and we humble ourselves fully. Because without full humility, we stand in pride. And that allows no room for GOD's Will. There is a proactive stance to serving GOD. Life isn't about salvation. It is about realizing we aren't worthy of it. If GOD gives it, then it's a privilege. If He doesn't, then we never deserved it anyway. But a life of serving GOD proactively is worth far more to this world than indulging and lusting for our own sake. There is no in between!!

Stewart has a large hole in the TRUTH. And I think it is VERY important that anyone who reads his website needs to think very carefully at what they find there. Just because 4/5 is a good score. That doesn't mean that the 1 point that falls short won't send you to HELL. Jesus told us to follow full doctrine. Consider and prove all things. Satan rules this world. And society resembles NOTHING of what GOD intended in our life. And because Satan hates GOD and all His people, you can be assured that there will be NOTHING in a conforming society that will lead you to TRUTH. Churches have all conformed to society. All things we live and breath every day are of evil nature and lead us to pride, vanity, lust, and other evil unholy attributes.

If salvation was so simple, Satan wouldn't be working so hard to lead others to destruction. The Bible clearly tells us that the path to Heaven is narrow. The broad path is the popular one thay leads to destruction. Few will be saved. Why? Because it takes major sacrifice to give up this temptuous life. Jesus did so. He told us to. And nobody I know is doing it. Hence the reason. FEW WILL MAKE IT TO HEAVEN BECAUSE PEOPLE ARENT WILLING TO GIVE UP ENOUGH TO PROVE THEY DESERVE IT.
