The Lost, the Gospel, and the Delusion of Self-Godhood

This article examines the spiritual state of those described as the lost—people who do not believe in Jesus Christ—as discussed in the speaksoffa transcript (0:00–10:41) and related reflections. The analysis is rooted in the Bible (KJV) and critiques both secular and religious misconceptions about salvation.

The Condition of the Lost

The lost are depicted as individuals who resist the Holy Ghost, experiencing the gradual deterioration of their souls due to the absence of salvation. As they age and realize their mortality, some may sense a deep discomfort or even anger, subconsciously aware of their eternal destiny:

Their soul is deteriorating out of not having salvation, not going to heaven, and they are noticing that they're getting older and deteriorating in their body… coming towards death and so they're angry at that… they're going to hell, burning in the lake of fire.

Despite this, most lost people do not see themselves as sinners. According to the speaker, it's when you come to the realization that you are a sinner that you have a need for a saviour. Without this realization, people may feel the need for success, wealth, or even moral living, but never turn to Christ for true salvation.

Religious Deception and Works-Based Assurance

The article sharply critiques common religious misconceptions, especially within traditional churches like Lutheranism. Many trust in infant baptism, church membership, or paying church taxes. The speaker recounts how, historically, priests would declare that someone had lived a righteous life and thus was saved, equating morality or religious observance with the gospel.

Another error noted is the Darwinistic approach to salvation, where some try to prove they are saved by dominating or walking over others:

You basically just drive over them like with a bulldozer and then you claim you were saved and they were lost because you managed to drive over them.

Both these religious and secular forms of self-justification are rejected as false gospels.

The Simplicity of Salvation: Faith Alone

The biblical gospel is described as simple and accessible:

Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved (Acts 16:31)

God made salvation easy so that anyone who wants to go to heaven may do so—by faith in Christ alone, not by works, ritual, or social status. The core issue is not just specific sins but the deeper problem of pride: the desire to remain one's own god. The speaker states that many would rather stay being god and dump into the lake of fire in the end, being deceived by various worldly philosophies—religion, secularism, New Age, Freemasonry, or materialism.

Hostility Toward the Gospel and the Believer's Role

Many lost people are offended or insulted when told that faith in Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven. The speaker observes that such confrontations can provoke anger, as people feel their dignity has been attacked:

You're dealing with wannabe gods who think they're sensitive… When dealing with these people it's best to just shut your mouth and go away. Preach the gospel to them… but they will still just attack you and try to destroy you… because they're enemies of Jesus Christ.

This enmity is spiritual in nature, rooted in their spiritual father—the devil (cf. John 8:44). Christians are warned to expect persecution for preaching the gospel, proclaiming that there is no salvation outside of Jesus Christ, following the example of Paul who knew nothing but Christ and him crucified.

Conclusion

The state of the lost is not just a matter of ignorance or mistaken belief, but of willful pride and resistance to God. Only by recognizing one’s own sinfulness and believing in Jesus Christ alone can anyone be saved. Christians are called to preach this gospel faithfully, even if it leads to opposition and persecution.

Transcript

(0:00 - 10:41) Okay, so I'm going to do a little video here. I see it's working. So I'm going to talk a bit about the lost people of this world and how they don't believe and how they claw claw at they claw they use their claws and their fists at the holy ghost trying to remove it like this because they are lost sinners and their soul is deteriorating out of not having salvation not going to heaven and they are noticing that they're getting older and deteriorating in their body and they realizing that they passed the half century mark they're getting old and they're coming towards death and so they're angry at that they they're going to hell burning in the lake of fire and they i think god is somehow giving them some some realization that they lost sinners you see these people they they generally don't see themselves as sinners this is the point lost people generally don't see themselves as sinners you know um they they are not like that because it's when you come to first you really need to come to the realization that you are a sinner to to have a need for a savior you can still have a need for something else like you can have a need for success and things even if you don't believe you're a sinner and so you can have a need for for uh certain aspects of jesus christ where it talks about certain things uh like it went very salomon got very rich and so on but um even though jesus christ is not really about physical riches uh but there are examples in the bible and there are obviously possibilities of that you can be very poor and still have a lot of riches and wealth in another sense because real wisdom is not uh is more worth than rubies so but uh i'm digressing here so the lost have no hope and that's the bottom line they have no hope they're gonna burn in the lake of fire forever and ever and maybe they're coming to the realization eventually that they're going to burn in the lake of fire forever and ever and some people will claim things like they will claim things like that's not the case they are Lutherans and they they have been baptized at birth you know so we pay taxes to the church and and we are living a christian moral life and so don't come here and call us lost we about back in the 1600s there were priests who were saying when someone died he lived this person lived a a righteous life so that was the bottom line that's the gospel we are Lutherans that's the gospel live a righteous life and and other people and these people might also want to to prove their salvation by things like uh walking on others you know you know like the Darwinistic way of walking on others to prove that you're saved and they they yeah you basically just drive over them like with a bulldozer and then you claim you were saved and they were lost because see you managed to drive over them with a bulldozer and that's not the gospel either you know but they are lost and they lost sinners and they're gonna burn and as it says in Matthew 10 it says i think it's there somewhere it says that those who try to kill you will claim that they're doing god's service so it's religious people who will try to murder you and that's Matthew 10 and that's where we are we have these atheists really they are really atheists but they don't admit really that they are some of them are well they you see they still want respect from Christians so but they want the Christians to to be under them if you see my point they they want they're really of the power but that's not the gospel believe on the lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved it says in the bible act 16 31 i think is that so difficult, god made it easy so that for those who who uh who want to go to heaven it's easy god made it easy because he sent his only begotten son Jesus Christ to die for our sins on the cross so that all those who believe on him will have everlasting life and not be condemned but those who don't have not believed on him will be condemned to hell yeah that's how simple it is but they don't want to believe you see they don't want to believe on someone else than themselves ultimately they want to be god you see that's the bottom line it's not about sins it's not about uh really it's really about that they want to be god you know they want to be their their own god and um that's that's their their it's basically what what becomes their Achilles heel or stumbling block you could claim that they they don't want to leave their own godhood and uh so they don't they want to be god basically and they rather stay being god and dump into the lake of fire in the end but to some degree they are not aware i think of that they're going to the lake of fire they are fooled they are um deceived by the Lutheran church or by uh secular thinking or by new age thinking or by freemasonry or money you know there are many things you can be deceived by there are loads of things you can be deceived by in this world but uh um no they won't they don't want to go to heaven no they believe they're going to some of them at least but they don't want to hear if you said to say tell to them that they are not going to heaven i don't think, that would be a big uh insult i think uh they would consider it an insult you have violated their dignity but no they don't believe on Jesus Christ no no you see you're dealing with uh wannabe gods who think they're sensitive we're sensitive people we are hyper we are very sensitive people so when dealing with these people it's best to just shut your mouth and go away preach the gospel to them that you can do and tell them about the hope you have that you have believed on lord Jesus Christ but uh they will still just attack you and try to destroy you to slice you up when they hear you know because they're enemies of Jesus Christ yeah so that's why i say that we we become persecuted for living a godly life and for preaching the gospel Paul knew nothing but Christ and him crucified and uh by preaching the gospel we mentioned Jesus Christ and and uh since they are of their father the devil they will uh their spiritual father the devil they will attack them like claw at you you know claw like this when they hear the word Jesus Christ and hear that there is no salvation outside of Jesus Christ then they react with this um fleshly attack you know
