In a nutshell - concerning God and His Son Jesus:

"Of the increase of His government and peace there will be no end…to order it and establish it with judgment and justice from that time forward, even forever." (Isaiah 9:7)

“He who knew no sin was made sin on our behalf that in him we might become the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus.” (1 Corinthians 5:21)

"He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places." (Ephesians 1:20)

“Then I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called faithful and true, and in righteousness He judges and makes war." (Revelation 9:11)

“And the beast was seized, and with him the false prophet who…deceived…these two were thrown alive into the lake of fire and the rest were killed..." (Revelation 19:20-21)

“Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it…And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne…the sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and the graves gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what they had done.” (Revelation 20:11-13)

“God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus EVERY KNEE WILL BOW, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” (Philippians 2:8-11)

“…that God may be All in All" (1 Corinthians 15:28)

There you have it in a nutshell. God promises to establish justice forever. He appoints His Son Jesus to “get r done”… which gets him killed. God raises him from the dead, Jesus ascends to sit at the right hand of God on high. Jesus returns to earth again to make war on the deceivers and establish righteousness on the earth…which involves putting the antichrist and his religious partner in the lake of fire, and killing all those who were following them. Later he raises all of them and all other dead people and judges them according to what they have done. They all bow and confess Jesus is Lord. They will most likely say something like the Samaritans confessed…

“…we have heard for ourselves and know that this One is indeed the Savior of the world." (John 4:42)

The Bible in a Nutshell

Here is what the Bible says to me in a nutshell:

The Bible concerning the LAW of God…

“Then Hilkiah answered and said…I have found the Book of the Law in the house of the LORD…Now it happened, when the king heard the words of the Law, that he tore his clothes…and said great is the wrath of the LORD that is poured out on us, because our fathers have not kept the word of the LORD." (2 Chronicles 34:15-21)

Hilkiah the priest gave Josiah the King the Law of the Lord he had found under a pew of the run down Temple. Josiah read it and said "Oh crap we’re toast…that contains 613 laws we have not obeyed for years. I am going to tear off my clothes and beg God for mercy", or words to that effect.

"Everyone who sins breaks the law; in fact, sin is lawlessness." ... "all have sinned....the wages of sin is death..." (1 John 3:4; Romans 3:23; 6:23)

The Bible concerning the GRACE of God…

“The grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men…now apart from the law the righteousness of God has been made known…for ALL have sinned and fall short of the glory of God and ALL are justified freely by his GRACE through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement, through the shedding of his blood…so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus...it is by GRACE you are saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the GIFT of God...the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ the Lord.” (Titus 2:11; Romans 3:21-26; Ephesians 2:8-10; Romans 6:23)

In Summary: The Law kills Robert who cannot keep it. But the Bible tells Robert that God loves him anyway and sent Jesus to die on the cross to save him and all sinners by the Grace of God. And sometime after Robert dies, Jesus will return to resurrected him and his family to immortal life. 

Robert believes the good news with joy and simply says “thank you”. In appreciation Robert cleans up his life as best he can and tells his wife, children and grandchildren about it. They all now live in peace with God without the fear of the Law.

The details of the Bible are interesting also but have been pretty much screwed up by Jewish and Christian apologists over the past 2,000 years.

In a nutshell, here is what our Apostle Paul shared from house to house…

“First of all, then, I urge that entreaties and prayers, petitions and thanksgivings, be made on behalf of ALL MEN… This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who WILLS ALL MEN to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself as a ransom FOR ALL, the testimony given at the proper time. For this I was appointed a preacher and an apostle, I am telling the truth, I am not lying, a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth….It is a trustworthy statement deserving full acceptance. For it is for this we labor and strive, because we have fixed our hope on the living God, who is the Savior of ALL MEN, especially of believers. PRESCRIBE AND TEACH THESE THINGS.” (1 Timothy 2:1-; 4:9-11)

I do not claim to be smart and I am sure not a theologian. But I have lived a few years and have studied the Bible and observed institutional Christianity most of that time. I am now almost 64 years old and here is a summary of my observations:

God raised up the Apostle Paul to proclaim the truth, the good news that in His Grace and Love God will save the whole world through His son, the Lord Jesus Christ. This “gospel” was received with joy by a few religious men, and many ordinary men who heard the truth…and they rejoiced as Paul shared it in homes, from house to house.

After Paul, Timothy, Titus, etc. died men started organizing these believing families into groups, built buildings to meet in, and hired employees to administer programs designed by these organizations. They started writing down their individual creeds, statements of faith and doctrine. The organization’s doctrine soon became the proclamation of “what the organization must do to save the world”, rather than ANNOUNCING THE GOOD NEWS OF WHAT GOD had done in Christ to save the world. The only portions of the Bible taught thereafter were those which could be interpreted to authenticate the organization’s dogma and doctrines.

By the fourth century, the truth that Paul was given to share was no longer being taught in organizational churches and it is still not taught there today. The organizations today are simply tax exempt entities doing some good things for people but no longer present the whole gospel that God gave Paul to proclaim to the world.
