LOVE GIVING AND GODS WORKS VERSUS HUMAN WORKS AND HUMAN LOVE

Jesus was the only human to ever match GODS level of love because his GOD and FATHER created him this way.  Jesus told us that his FATHER did all the works that the people of his day witnessed him doing . Human love is not the same kind of love as GODS love. In the worlds churches only human level love is practiced. The false churches plan giving events, like feeding the poor.  They plan the entire thing by putting an ad in the local paper announcing the event and church members prepare the food for the appointed day.  Everything they have done was planned by them not by GOD.   True giving is unplanned, it is like what the Good Samaritan did, it comes like a bolt out of the blue and places you in a situation where you are totally reliant on GODS love to be the force, power and motive behind your actions to help those in whatever need they may have.  In this way your works do not enter and are assured to be GODS work in you.  You cannot plan for something that takes you by surprise.  Only in this sense scripture calls these works your works, but it is well known that the true source of the works was GOD.  GOD motivates HIS people with HIS love both to love HIM and their neighbor.  Without this GODLY Love all types or forms of kindness, giving and compassion are operating in human love only.  When true Christians give their left hand doesn’t know what their right hand is doing.  It’s not a physically planned thing.  True Christians operate towards the carnal world under GODS direct motivation but within the true church it is different because it is true Christians giving to other true Christians and under these circumstances the act of giving and the plan to give are both driven and motivated by GOD.  An example of this was Paul’s collection for the saints in distress.  What makes the difference between the church and the world is that Holy Spirit is present in the true church while absent in the false churches.  People in these false churches will not be able to discern the difference and will indeed credit GOD for their giving but in truth it was all their own work based entirely on human love.   Usually these false churches brag about the things they do in their communities and around the world.  You have seen their commercials on TV and their asking for money for some kind of event they have planned.  You have seen the write ups in the local paper, “Church feeds over 100 people”  or something similar.  They have their reward in this world but none with GOD.  

I hope this article has shown the difference In giving between GODLY motivation or human planning.  Paul said, “it is GOD who works in you both to will and to do HIS good pleasure” , so then, in this sense faith is shown by GODS working in us because faith without GODS works in us is dead.  Therefore, the faith of the world’s churches is dead because their works are their own and not GODS.  

WORKS

 When the scriptures speak about works what does that mean  ?   Works are actions, deeds or activities performed by a person, but not by GOD.   Works are mentioned in both old and new covenants.  Under the old covenant,  which scripture confirms is the ten commandments and the book of the law of Moses . Deuteronomy 9:11,15  all the blessings under this old covenant were physical not spiritual.  Deuteronomy 28:1-14

Under the old covenant ten commandments Israel was commanded to do the works of the law.   Since salvation is not of works there are no works to perform in the new covenant that were in the old covenant.  In the new covenant our works are done in us by GOD, Isaiah 26:12KJV , we are HIS workmanship, and HE has prepared these works,  Ephesians 2:10  to fulfill what the ten commandments could not do. Romans 8:3  GOD works in us with HIS love to change our nature to be like HIS and Christs nature. 2 Peter 1:4  GOD gives us the will and ability to live by the two greatest of all commandments that HE revealed through Jesus. Matthew 22:37,30,39,40  Philippians 2:13 We then become partakers of the divine nature and do by nature GODS will and not by being commanded to do so by ten commandments. What was formerly done by command is now done because it is our will.  

Sinful human nature must be changed to overcome sin. We must live as Jesus lived. Jesus was totally dependent on his FATHER for everything and not on the old covenant because Jesus is the new covenant, Isaiah 42:6 and if we are in Christ we will be transformed to be wholly dependent on GOD just as Jesus was. John 5:19,30  John 8:28  John 14:10  Of himself Jesus could do nothing and neither can we, we rely totally on GOD for everything.   GODS love cannot sin and this love in us by HIS spirit enables us to overcome sin. Romans 5:5  Love is the fulfillment of the ten commandments.  Romans 13:10  The two greatest commandments given by Jesus have taken their place.  The ten commandments are waxing old and obsolete.  Hebrews 8:13

 The old covenant also had a curse. Deuteronomy 28:15-68   To enter the old covenant you had to be circumcised and swear an oath to keep all 613 of GODS laws.  Deuteronomy 29:12  According to Jesus the old covenant was not abolished and every word remains till all things are fulfilled.  Matthew 5:17,18  Therefore all of the old covenant laws are still in effect, ALL OF THEM, but not on the church.  Christians are told by Jesus to not make oaths so this would exclude them from even keeping the ten commandments as presented in the old covenant. Matthew 5:33,34,35,36,37  Physical circumcision is know to be useless.  The ten commandments were the ministry of death, 2 Corinthians 3:7 but the new covenant is the ministry of the holy spirit. 2 Corinthians 3:8  Under the provisions of the old covenant all Israel, by their own efforts, and with no help from GOD had to keep all 613 commandments of the law.  All people today that place themselves under the ten commandments have placed themselves under all 613 commandments of the old covenant and are responsible to obey all the provisions  that the covenant demanded. The old covenant was not to be altered in any way so the benefits of the new covenant cannot be added to the old covenant.  People under the old covenant ten commandments are not in the new covenant.   GOD makes the rules and not men.  It is abundantly clear that there are two covenants but only one saves. 

 Better choose the right one.  Ephesians 3:20,21  Keeping the ten commandments is your work in the old covenant and breaking even one brings death and this is why Paul called the ten commandments the ministry of death. 2 Corinthians 3:7   God told us this in Zechariah 4:6  Not our power , not our might, but by GODS holy spirit are the works of GOD that HE does through us just as they were done through Jesus Christ.  Jesus told us these things, Paul told us these things and the prophets told us these things, why do so many not believe these things ?  The answer,  John 8:47 

THE RICH YOUNG RULER

 In Luke 18:18-23  Matthew 19:16-30   Mark 10:17-31  Jesus is approached by a rich young ruler and in each of the three accounts additional information is provided that was not included in the other accounts therefore we must glean all relevant information from all three in order to understand what took place in the conversation between Jesus and this rich young ruler.  Jesus told this young man that if he wanted to have everlasting life to keep the commandments, Jesus even specified several of the ten commandments to be clear.

The rich young man said he kept all the Ten Commandments from his youth and asked what he yet lacked. Jesus answered him in Matthew 19:21   Obviously there was something this young man lacked that keeping the Ten Commandments did not provide.  Also as we should know, no one can keep the Ten Commandments because all have sinned and broken them.  This young man thought he was righteous by keeping the Ten Commandments just like Paul did before his conversion.  Philippians 3:9   This has the effect on many people that the keeping of them makes them righteous and in good standing with GOD when in fact they produce self righteousness which is filthy rags to GOD.  Isaiah 64:6   This is why Paul said the law deceived him and killed him.  Romans 7:11   This does not make the law evil it makes us evil.  The law is holy, just and good to condemn sinners to death, it was the ministry of death on stone.  2 Corinthians 3:7

People that put themselves under the Ten Commandments therefore are dead because anyone who broke the law dies without mercy.  Hebrews 10:28   The wages of sin is death, the sting of death is sin and the strength of sin is the law. 1 Corinthians 15:56  This is or at least should be Christianity 101 , it’s not difficult to read the scriptures to see the truth of these things. 

 Christians are no longer under the Ten Commandments, the old covenant, the ministry of death.  Christians undergo a spiritual transformation that changes their nature to become a partaker of GODS nature, they have GODS love so that we need not be commanded but do by nature what GODS will is by the example of Jesus Christ.  Jesus fulfilled the Ten Commandments with GODS love not by command but because he was one with his GOD and was created in his GODS image and we are to be recreated in the image of Jesus.  The first humans, Adam and Eve , had no knowledge of what sin is, they had to disobey GOD to acquire that knowledge but before this human nature was pure and innocent but would be changed by their obedience to Satan and from that day forward human nature became Satanic.  Before conversion we were the children of the Devil but through Jesus we can be made children of GOD.  Acts 26:18

AS HE WAS SO ARE WE IN THIS WORLD

 

When Jesus was on this earth he did no miracles, he said nothing concerning teaching that originated from himself.  John 14:10,24  John 7:16  John 12:49  John 8:26,28,29  John 17:8  John 6:39   Jesus, when on this earth was just as we are now.  WE, the saints can do nothing of ourselves, our belief is not our own, the words we speak in the spirit are not our own.

 Now that Jesus is at his GODS right hand he uses the power of his FATHER to continue his work as mediator between his GOD and GODS saints.  GODS spirit does everything in the life of HIS saints by having HIS son live in them just as GOD did everything in Jesus and lived in him when Jesus was on this earth. John 14:10  

 The works of the saints are of the love of GOD.  The saints have no works of their own because we are GODS workmanship, Ephesians 2:10KJV , it is GOD who works in us both to will and to do HIS good pleasure. Philippians 2:13KJV  These works GOD has prepared for us and we are empowered by HIS love to work them out, to walk as Jesus walked.  In this way we are just like Jesus was when he was on this earth. 

 Some translations translate  1 John 4:17KJV  this way,   "as he is so are we on this earth" but this makes no sense because Jesus has been glorified and now given access to his FATHERS power, we are yet flesh with no power at all.  Therefore the correct translation is, "just as he WAS so are we on this earth".  

When on this earth Jesus was totally dependent on his FATHER for everything and so are we.  The obvious difference between us and earthly Christ is that he was the son of GOD and filled with the holy spirit without measure, WAS impeccable and was to be our messiah.  The connection Jesus had with his FATHER was without a mediator and he and his FATHER dwelt in one another, they were one, one in love, righteousness and holiness. John 10:30 

 The hope of the saints is to join GOD and Christ in this unity of oneness, that we may be one with GOD and Christ just as the FATHER and Christ are one.  John 17:21  

There is no amount of Ten Commandment keeping that will achieve this, no works by us of any kind, for if we work it is not GOD working but us working and you should know that salvation is not by our works but only by GODS.  This is the TRUE faith and description of what salvation is. It is nothing that you hear from all the worlds churches because they are all deceived. Revelation 12:9  

 If you understand these things then you are blessed and I would like to hear from you. Please write to me at the email on this blog.  

TO ALL WHO ARE IN LIKE MIND

 To all who are in like mind........................

Greetings Steve and Gary, 

I write this message to both of you in the spirit of GODS love. In no way do I intend it to be obnoxious or demeaning or insulting. For many years I have been searching on my blog for another elect saint of GOD that has walked with GOD and Christ longer than I have. For me it has been 32 years since my conversion. In that time I have been taught by GOD through Jesus Christ only, no man taught me anything that I know. I experience a voice in my mind / spirit that speaks to me and teaches me things I never knew about before. I cannot put into words what this is like. When I was yet a babe in Christ I did not at first recognize this voice as another voice but confused it with my own thoughts. Then a day came when a thought came that I was not even thinking about and had no knowledge about, it was then that I realized that this voice I was hearing was not my own. How could I have thoughts about something that I have no knowledge of ? The 3 other saints I fellowship with have had the same experience. When Jesus said we are taught by GOD through him it is the truth. I can say these things but there is no way I can prove them to anyone. I have searched online for someone who is a more mature Christian than I am hoping to hear what they have learned beyond what I have learned in the hope of the spirit opening my understanding to the same things. I have to date found no one. I do believe they are out there scattered to the four winds. It is only spiritually logical that other saints who have been in Christ longer that I would have grown in the spirit beyond me.

 

 My joining Simply Christian was part of my search and I have been delighted to find two others in their walk with GOD and Christ that are in their own stage of spiritual development. Neither of you are babes anymore as I have observed growth in both of you. Lately on this forum the discussions have entered into the territory of strong meat, the deep things of GOD. I entered that stage about 25 years ago. It is very obvious to me as I am sure it is to you that the 4 fellows involved in these discussions have no knowledge even about the things of milk let alone the things of meat.

I felt a motivation by the spirit to share with everyone on the forum the things freely given to me as an act of love but was met by many of them as an enemy of whatever they believe as truth. I have been tempted to leave the forum so that these types do not blaspheme the way of truth but Steve convinced me to stay. Now I only make comments in response to either of you two but not directly to them and I still post articles on various subjects. In doing this I avoid getting to overly involved in engaging in a battle of wits with those who are unarmed. I confess that it was getting out of hand. I remembered that AS MUCH AS IT DEPENDED ON ME, live at peace with all men. Both of you have a different way of expressing yourselves than I do that has not compromised GODS truth and may have better success than what I have had. My way is stern and straightforward with no apologies, I provide abundant scriptures to support my claims. This is my nature and has worked with some but not others who take my boldness in Christ as arrogance, pontificating and wanting to have my own way. They become offended by what I write about without even understanding it. My motivation is exactly the opposite of what they accuse me of. It’s true, I will not back down or apologize for the truth of GOD. Jesus offended many people during his ministry with his GODS truth so I look at this as taking up my own cross and following him. The truth will either offend a person or set them free but this is in GODS hands to do. I encourage both of you to write more and share with the members of this forum what GOD through Jesus has taught you. This is part of loving your neighbor as yourself. If they begin to attack you and blaspheme then withdraw from communication with them, do as I have done, continue writing and sharing apart from them. If GOD would decide to call and choose just one of them the angels in heaven will rejoice and we would be blessed to have had a very small part in it. Thanks for hearing, Lee

 

The letter above was only written to Gary and Steve but is appropriate for us all.  Recently I have been Given a better understanding of things like salvation, faith and works.  It is a biblical fact that true Christians are considered dead in Christ, that they no longer live because Christ lives in them, Jesus takes over your life. We then have no works at all, not in the law or in the acquiring of our salvation because GOD through Christ does the works. Philippians 2:13  GOD prepared all these works for us.  Ephesians 2:10  We Sabbath rest in Christ while GOD and Jesus work in us. 

 

We are saved by grace through faith but this faith is backed up and proven by these works GOD and Christ do in us. This is why James said faith without works is dead.  The works are GODS love in us by HIS spirit, they are not our works , they are GODS works.  WE are living sacrifices .  Romans 12:1  Just as Jesus gave us example with how he lived his life we are empowered by GODS spirit and love to do the same and over our lives be transformed to be an exact likeness of Jesus who was an exact likeness of his GOD.  This likeness is GODS nature of love which is the fulfillment of the law.  Salvation is in the last day but most think it is when they are baptized , baptism is only the beginning of the journey to salvation in the last day when Jesus returns to give everlasting life to his true followers.  

 

I am no different than all of you, I am a sinner who is now in the new covenant of grace.  We all have been given a talent, a portion of GODS spirit. If we just bury it there is no growth and we will face the wrath of the Laodiceans.  However if we remain in the faith and growing in it we will acquire more talents that will please GOD and Christ thus assuring our salvation.  

 

A true work of love is not by planning, that is your work not GODS.  GODS work in you will come out of the blue like in the story of the good Samaritan. Doing and good works will be this way because it will insure that they will not be of our planning.  We are to submit in love, willingly, to GOD and Christ praying to the FATHER through Jesus for more of GODS love in us.  Pray for the death of our old person so the new person may live.  Brother Kel has an excellent video about these things that I encourage you all to watch, several times, and brother Polycarp, though long dead, has an excellent letter that he sent to the Philippian  church that also speaks to these things.  We have as well the letters of the Apostles in the scripture that have these things as a constant theme.  

All of us need have the good works of GODS love in us and when the next time , out of the blue, we are faced with a situation of any sort that needs the application of GODS love that we apply it without question.  Whatever is not of GODS love is sin.  In his sermon on the mount Jesus taught some very hard things, loving those who hate you, doing good and praying for enemies, to overcome evil with good.  Looking at these things it seems impossible but all things are possible with GOD.  I have fallen short on all these things and have repented and asked for forgiveness and for more GODLY love, more faith and to bear more fruit, to overcome my old self and mortify those deeds, to truly die to myself so that Christ can live in me, my hope of glory.  This will not be easy but all who live in Christ will suffer some kind of persecution, this is sharing in the sufferings of Christ.  We have been taught the truth of doctrine but now this truth must be applied to live it.  God began a good work in us and HE is able to complete it in the day of the Lord Jesus. May GOD and Christ be with us all.

 

ANTHONY BUZZARDS ARGUMENT AGAINST THE TRINITY

 Anthony Buzzard, a biblical unitarian theologian, holds that Trinitarian Christians are not true Christians
because they do not follow what he argues was the original belief system of Jesus and his apostles. This position is based on his conviction that the doctrine of the Trinity is a later, non-biblical development.

Buzzard's argument against the Trinity

• The Trinity as a later development: Buzzard argues that the idea of a triune God was a non-biblical innovation that emerged in the centuries after Christ. In his view, early biblical figures and Jesus himself would not have recognized this doctrine.
• Jesus as a human Messiah: Buzzard promotes a Socinian-like theology, asserting that Jesus was a human Messiah uniquely used by God, not a divine being himself. He teaches that the one true God of the Bible is God the Father alone.
• The "creed of Jesus": Buzzard calls for a return to the "creed of Jesus," which he defines as a Jewish theology of one God, the Father. His book Jesus Was Not a Trinitarian details his arguments for this position.
• Worship of Jesus: He asserts that the worship of Jesus by Trinitarians is a form of Christian idolatry that would have been alien to Jesus himself. While he acknowledges that Jesus is to be honored, he distinguishes this from the worship reserved for God the Father.
• 
  

Mainstream Christian perspective

Mainstream Christians strongly disagree with Buzzard's position.

• Traditional Christology: Historic Christian teaching, based on biblical interpretation and established over centuries, holds that Jesus is fully divine and part of the Triune God. Major creeds, such as the Nicene Creed, articulate the doctrine of the Trinity and Jesus' divinity as foundational to orthodox Christianity.
• Interpretation of scripture: Where Buzzard sees contradictions or later additions, Trinitarian theologians point to biblical passages they interpret as affirming Jesus' divinity and pre-existence.
• Heresy vs. doctrine: The church has historically regarded unitarian and similar non-Trinitarian views as heretical. Mainstream theology views the articulation of the Trinity as the faithful and necessary clarification of biblical teaching, not a departure from it. 
  

  Context of his position

Buzzard's views come from his affiliation with biblical unitarianism, a tradition rooted in the Radical Reformation. He was associated with the Church of God General Conference (Abrahamic Faith) and the Restoration Fellowship. The debate between Trinitarians and unitarians on the nature of Jesus has existed throughout church history. The Apostles never preached a trinity but rather affirmed there is only one God, the father.  1 Corinthians 8:6  along with the words of Jesus, John 17:3  Buzzard declares that due to incorrect translations as well as deliberate alterations are the source for the trinity doctrine.

CONTRIBUTION BY GARY OF AUSTRALIA

 Thank you Lee, for inviting my comment on this much misunderstood subject, as I see it.

We have a law here in Australia that everyone who drives a motor car must keep to the left hand side of the road. It is not peculiar to Australia, but someone visiting from the States may find it a bit strange and off putting in relation to their personal experience of driving. And if a visitor might drive on the other side of the road inadvertently, they will be stopped by our highway police and dealt with according to the penalty system in place in Australia.

The Ten Commandments were given through Moses to the fledgling nation of Israel. (Ex 24:1-18; Deut 4:5-14) It was not obligatory on people of other nations unless those people visited or resided within Israel’s boundaries. (Num 15:14-16)

“While the Law was given specifically to Israel, its implications were intended to extend beyond the nation. Israel was called to be a "light to the nations" (Isaiah 42:6), demonstrating the wisdom and righteousness of God's commandments. The Law was meant to be a testimony to the surrounding nations of the greatness and holiness of the God of Israel.” (https://biblehub.com/topical/ttt/t/the_law_of_moses—given--to_no_other_nation.htm)

Driving on the left hand side of the road might be considered wrong in the USA, but it is not here in Australia. The issue is not ‘Who is right, or Who is wrong’. Rather, it is how we adjust our practices and attitude to drive safely and harmoniously in whichever country we are in.
 

The IMPLICATIONS of the Ten Commandments, it seems, are what Jesus drew attention to in his interchange with the scribe recorded in the gospel according to Mark:-

One of the scribes went to Jesus during the argument with the Sadducees. He saw how well Jesus answered them, so he asked him, "Which commandment is the most important of them all?" Jesus answered "The most important is, 'Listen, Israel, the Lord our God is the only Lord. So love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.'The second most important commandment is this: 'Love your neighbor as you love yourself.' No other commandment is greater than these." The scribe said to Jesus, "Teacher, that was well said! You've told the truth that there is only one God and no other besides him! To love him with all your heart, with all your understanding, with all your strength, and to love your neighbor as you love yourself is more important than all the burnt offerings and sacrifices." When Jesus heard how wisely the man answered, he told the man, "You're not too far from the kingdom of God." -(Mark 12:28-34)

So, I agree that being motivated by God’s love for people we should not need to rely on written rules to conduct ourselves lovingly, caringly and humanely toward others, nor insist others follow those rules just to satisfy our expectations.

JESUS CHRIST IS THE ONLY SHEPHERD THAT REMAINS

 Jesus is the only true shepherd left, there are no more shepherds since the Apostles died.  If you look at what claims to be Christianity in this world you should be able to see how divided it is.  Even in the days of the Apostles there were false Apostles and deceitful workers who were trashing the truth.  Jude, Paul, Jesus and Peter  wrote about them, Jude 1:4   2 Corinthians 11:13  Matthew 7:15   2 Peter 2:1,2,3  

There are many warnings about the great deception that already had begun when they were yet alive.  Imagine what happened after the Apostles were all dead.   Ezekiel 34:10  GOD and Jesus , after the deaths of all the Apostles, took over complete control of the Church.  Jesus said, John 10:11,14,15  also Isaiah 40:11  Ezekiel 34:11,12  1 Peter 5:4   1 Peter 2:25   Matthew 26:31   John 10:27,28  Psalm 23:1  Hebrews 13:20   Surly you can see there is only one shepherd of the sheep, the church, because all previous shepherds are dead.  Any human being claiming to be a shepherd is a liar.  These liars are the ministers of Satan in all the false Christian churches.  GOD calls out of these churches and out of the world the people HE calls HIS elect.  The elect saints do not attend any of this worlds churches, they are not attempting to fulfill the great commission, they are taught by GOD through Jesus Christ and have no need that any man should teach them, these elect are taught the truth by divine revelation just as the prophets and Apostles were, the confidence level of the saints is extremely high because they know these things having experienced them.  Others without the Holy Spirit who have never experienced what the elect have do not believe.  These carnal people truly think they have the Holy Spirit and know the truth but are in fact deceived.  These carnal people blaspheme the truth for this reason.  The things of GOD are foolishness to them, over spiritualized, hyper grace, put GODS justice over HIS love and attempt to keep the old covenant Ten Commandments thinking they bring life when they bring death.  Just like the Jews they are enemies of the gospel with cauterized minds that are not able in this age to be converted.  Their hope of which they do not understand is the second resurrection.  True Christians should not hate these people but as much as it depends upon us live in peace with them.  It has always been that GOD draws HIS elect saints to HIS son and then through HIS son teaches them the truth.  Jesus Christ is the only shepherd that now exists, no human leads any of the churches of the elect saints, they all acknowledge that Christ is the head of the church and that wherever two or three are gathered together Christ is there also.  Even though this writing is all true the vast majority of humanity will not believe it.

OUR WONDERFUL WORLD OF CHRISTIAN UNITY

 We are all so very blessed to have so many Christian churches to choose from.  There is the Jehovahs Witnesses, The Mormons, Lutherns, Catholics, Seventh Day Adventists , Baptists both northern and southern, Presbyterians, Methodists, Unitarians, Binatarians, Trinitarians.  How blessed we are to have such a wide and varied selection to chose from. 

There are so many I could not begin to list them all.  It does not matter that they have differences in doctrine we are all Christians just because we say we are.  There has been no mass deception by Satan so ignore Revelation 12:9  pay no attention to 2 Corinthians 11:12,13,14,15  and 1 Timothy 4:1  Paul really did not mean what he wrote in these verses.  All human ministers have been totally faithful in their handling of GODS word.  Why you and I could attend any one of them or even a group of them and we would do just fine.  It does not matter how many GODS you have or how you define what salvation is, any old gospel will do.  You can keep the whole law or just parts of it or throw the whole thing out.  We can all believe in whatever Jesus or gospel we want it does not matter at all.  Hey we are all Christians and we know that we are all in like flint with GOD, however you like to define HIM.  

I hope my readers realize that I am being facetious here in an attempt to show that all the churches of this world are false.  Hope I succeeded.

MODERN DAY HUMAN MINISTRY ARE NOT THE SUCCESSORS OF THE APOSTLES

 By OUTCAST

 Paul was the agent of Yeshua. He appointed Saul called Paul on the road to Damascus.

Paul did not assign anyone to be his agent. None of those "agents of Yeshua" appointed anyone to their their place. Man made that decision - and "the church" became wherever two or more followers of the teaching of the agents of Yeshua would gather and speak of the teachings they were given. Nobody was an agent after that - and therefor, no further texts could be added to scripture.

"As direct witnesses and messengers of the risen Lord, the apostles can have no successors…Apostleship in the sense of the original and fundamental ministry of the first witnesses and messengers died out with the death of the last apostle."

So, the Romans chose to make their own.

https://www.andrewcorbett.net/church-history/02second-century-church-history/

How could these errors be refuted by the early Church? The apostles had been the guardians of the truth and sound doctrine. But with their passing and the emergence of the second century, how could the Church truly know what was sound apostolic teaching? Ignatius (who lived toward the end of the first century and was martyred early in the second century [6] ) was the third bishop of Antioch. He was the first to suggest that the local bishop be regarded as the rightful source of sound doctrine.

Ignatius of Antioch sought to answer the problem of centrifugal movements by insisting upon the local bishop as the focus of unity; without him the lifegiving sacraments could not be administered. He gave this, so to speak, a vertical justification by claiming that the bishop is God’s representative on earth, an earthly counterpart corresponding to the heavenly Monarch, so that ‘we ought to regard the bishop as the Lord himself’. [7]

These comments came after Clement (30 – 100), one of the bishops of Rome, had written to the church at Corinth, in 96 AD, [8] and urged them to submit to their bishop. [9] Thus, it seems that the position of bishop initially changed in prominence for all good intentions. If bishops could be seen and promoted as the authorized teachers of apostolic doctrine, then the Church stood a better chance of repelling heresies, and perhaps more importantly maintaining unity.

But in striving to maintain sound doctrine and unity, the role of the bishop changed from its original concept of an elder/overseer. In the absence of the first century apostles, who formed the critical function in the leadership structure of the Primitive Church, the second century Church was now void of this vital functional leadership. The Church has always been reluctant to foist the title apostle on anyone other than those mentioned in the New Testament. But it will be seen that the leadership structure of the early New Testament Church was more than a foundational structure: it was a divinely ordered, prescriptive leadership structure. Consequently, when the first century apostles died, there arose a need to fill the void. And it was the bishops of the churches that organized themselves to fill the void.

Then, in the third century, the Roman church chose to change Yeshua as also being Yahweh. It has been a downhill slide ever since.

THE OLD COVENANT OF THE TEN COMMANDMENTS

 Below are listed the blessings that do not apply to the old covenant Ten Commandments.  These blessings are only in the New Covenant.  Remember the Ten Commandments are the old covenant, and were not changed in any way by Jesus Christ.  Deuteronomy 4:13  Matthew 5:17,18   Moses put us under the curse of the Ten Commandments but Jesus became the curse for us and his covenant has no new condemnation, no more curse. Romans 8:1  Deuteronomy 27:26 

When the Ten Commandments were given to ancient Israel GOD said this, Deuteronomy 4:2 , Matthew 5:17,18   Joshua 1:7   Deuteronomy 12:32   Paul confirmed that once a covenant is made it cannot be altered.  Galatians 3:15   The new covenant cannot be changed or altered either.  The new covenant cannot be the old covenant or vice versa.  

Examine the scriptures given with each item below and hopefully you may see that the keeping of the Ten Commandments  provides none of the blessings that Jesus did in the new covenant.  We have GOD, Jesus and Paul saying plainly that the old covenant Ten Commandments and law of Moses can not be altered in any way which then would logically follow that all the better promises of the new covenant cannot be added to the old covenant.  

Righteousness Galatians 2:21  Philippians 3:8,9

Inheritance  Romans 4:14  Galatians 3:21,22  

Forgiveness  Hebrews 10:4  Romans 8:1  Colossians 1:14  Matthew 26:28

Mercy  Hebrews 10:28  Deuteronomy 17:6  

Justification Acts 13:39  Galatians 2:16  Galatians 3:11  Galatians 5:4

Faith Galatians 3:12  Deuteronomy 32:20KJV  Galatians 3:12  Romans 4:4,5 

Repentance       if there is no mercy or forgiveness under the Ten Commandments then this means repentance is not available in the Ten Commandments.

Holy Spirit       Ancient carnal Israel did not have the Holy Spirit.  Galatians 3:2

A Messiah       The old covenant had no messiah.

Everlasting life  Galatians 3:22  Romans 6:23 

GODLY love       Romans 5:5  Acts 2:38  John 3:16,17  Romans 13:10 

Shadow & symbolism with no substance  Colossians 2:17  Hebrews 10:1

Inferior promises Hebrews 8:6  Hebrews 7:22  2 Corinthians 3:6

No salvation Acts 4:2  John 14:6   Ephesians 2:8,9

No Baptism  There was circumcision required to keep the Ten Commandments but no baptism under the Ten Commandments.  Mark 16:16  Acts 2:38   Galatians 3:26,27

No Oath  Under the old covenant Ten Commandments the requirements to be in that covenant was circumcision and swearing an oath to keep the whole old covenant law, the Ten Commandments and law of Moses.  Jesus forbid oaths, Matthew 5:34   In the early church certain Jews wanted the Gentiles to do this; Acts 15:5  the Apostles ruled against their demands and wrote a letter ,  Acts 15:23,24KJV   This is not just about circumcision, because Moses did not give circumcision to Israel, John 7:22 Acts 7:8  

What does justify mean ?  It means to be absolved from blame.   GOD will impute righteousness to the person who is of faith. Romans 4:24  Impute means to be credited to a persons account.  Righteousness is what is imputed, what is righteousness ?  Righteousness is, being in a right standing with GOD.  Are the Ten Commandments able to make a person righteous? Galatians 2:21    The keepers of the Ten Commandments generate their own righteousness but not the imputed righteousness of GOD. Philippians 3:9  All human righteousness is filthy rags to GOD.  Isaiah 64:6  

 If you put yourself under the Ten Commandments you will have no inheritance with Christ.  Romans 4:14  Galatians 3:18,29   Titus 3:5,6,7   Everything written here is very plain.  If you want all the blessings that come from Christ you have to give up keeping the Ten Commandments, the old covenant, and enter the new covenant.   Christians do not sin with impunity as some have accused them but rather fulfill the intent of the Ten Commandments by the the two Commandments of Christ which Christians keep with GODS love.  Loving GOD and neighbor is not sin.  Christians begin to take on the divine nature of GOD and Christ, they no longer sin because of a commandment but because it is their nature.  2 Peter 1:4

TERMS AND CONDITIONS REQUIRED TO BE IN THE OLD COVENANT OF THE TEN COMMANDMENTS

The Ten Commandments are the core of the old covenant. Deuteronomy 4:13  Ancient Israel was commanded by GOD to accept a non Israeli who would agree to established conditions.  Exodus 12:48.  Numbers 9:14  Isaiah 56:6  Nehemiah 10:29

To enter the old covenant Ten Commandments a person had to swear an oath something that Jesus told Christians not to do.  Matthew 5:34,37,38  therefore Christians can’t enter the old covenant Ten Commandments.  Then it’s very obvious that physical circumcision for religious purposes is to be refused by Christians.  These facts just by themselves rule out Christians keeping the Ten Commandments, the old covenant.

The old covenant could never be altered in any way. Anyone who sinned by breaking the Ten Commandments would be killed.  Hebrews 10:28  there was no mercy with the Ten Commandments and they operate the same today, nothing has been changed just like Jesus said.  Matthew 5:18  the Ten Commandments death sentence for sinners still applies.  Anyone placing themselves under the Ten Commandments will sin and will die.  The Ten Commandments are not the gospel, do not produce salvation, have no faith mercy or justification.  The Ten Commandments are the ministry of death written on stone. 2 Corinthians 3:7  Christians are not under the old covenant of the Ten Commandments.  Ignorant people say, “then we can sin with impunity” because they cannot understand that GODS love fulfills the Ten Commandments.  Anyone under the Ten Commandments is solely responsible to keep them without any help from GOD, they are on their own.  The new covenant gives Christians the love of GOD by the holy Spirit that is the help we need to overcome our sins.  The Ten Commandments did not give GODLY love therefore no one under them could fulfill them.  

What the Ten Commandments demanded of us we could not do.  Romans 8:3   Jesus fulfilled the Ten Commandments with GODS love because GODS love is the fulfillment of the Ten Commandments.  This is how the saints keep the commandments of GOD and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.  Revelation 12:17   People that desire to be under the Ten Commandments will die in their sins because this is what the Ten Commandments were designed by GOD to do.  Romans 3:19,20   Christians are saved from the ministry of death , the Ten Commandments, by Jesus, who paid the penalty for our sins when we were under the Ten Commandments, so then, once the penalty is paid we are no longer under the Ten Commandments but are under the two greatest commandments Jesus gave, love GOD and love neighbor.  Because law keepers have never experienced any of these things they discount them and call them over spiritualizing or hyper grace.  Even though there are many scriptures that plainly explain GODS grace and love ends the Ten Commandments ability to kill Christians, these law keepers cannot believe or understand them.  

The Ten Commandments are the old covenant but it’s sad that multitudes of people still think they must keep the old covenant for salvation.  This line of thinking is not the new covenant and it is very obvious that law keepers are blind to this.  

RENDER UNTO CAESAR WHAT IS CAESARS PROFSSING CHRISTIANS HAVE BEEN DOING THAT FOR YEARS AND LOOK AT WHAT IT HAS GOTTEN THEM

What Caesar wants is not what GOD wants. The governments of men are all going to be replaced by the kingdom GOD. The world is not going to be made a better place by man, only by GOD with the return of HIS son. This is what we live for, what we pray for. Two thirds of registered voters in the U.S. identify as Christians 58% are democrats and 74% are republicans. So there is a political divide between professing Christians. There are 189.5 million registered voters in the United States according to USAFacts, there are 44.1 million democrats and 37.3 million republicans.  Non Christians voters are 35%.  To be a Christian and yet have this kind of division shows that giving Caesar what is Caesar’s produces division among those claiming to be Christians. One would think that all Christians would be of the same mind, believing the same things, which is what GOD desires but human politics shows this is not so.  On the view of abortion among Protestants 68% say it should be legal, 59% of Catholics do as well. Among black Christians 71% say abortion should be legal. Among Mormons 69% and Jehovah Witnesses 54% say abortion should be legal. Looks like Caesar is winning the day and GOD is losing. What a great Christian nation we have, right !!! This is exactly what happens when man rules instead of GOD in the lives of people, they use Caesar to justify murder.  

Homosexuality is widely accepted in the U.S. and around most of the world.  The governments have laws that protect homosexual rights.  Under the law homosexuals are to be killed, why don’t we kill them today, why do we not obey the law ?  Leviticus 20:17 homosexuality is also condemned in the new covenant but the church did not go around killing them.  This vengeance belongs to GOD, HE will repay.   If you are involved in politics and think that’s the answer to sin then perhaps you need to start killing sinners as the Ten Commandments demands.  If the Ten Commandments were practiced in the new covenant church they why did the Apostles not enforce them ?  Why doesn’t the U.S. government enforce the Ten Commandments ?  The church of GOD is dead set against all sin but doesn’t carry out the death penalty the Ten Commandments required.  Politics is the reason why sin runs amok in the nations.  The U.S. government permits all religions to operate without having Christianity as its only religion.  This produces Babylon, denies all the teachings of Christ and the Apostles.  This is how the people voted for it to be.  

 

To be a part of human government is to be a part of the problem not the answer. Whatever you participate in you are a part of regardless of which side you are on , you are part of the political system. There is no control over anything if you are the minority and true Christians are the smallest minority on earth. In the USA Caesar has legalized abortion and homosexuality even though some fake Christians are against it. This is how Caesar works. This problem is not the only problem as opinions vary across different political ideologies. The division in the US and the rest of the world has grown increasingly divided over many issues. The truth of GOD is cast to the ground and stomped upon so that the people can continue in their sins while claiming to be Christians. It is hypocrisy of the highest degree.

The only thing we owe Caesar is to pay his taxes and obey his laws just as the scriptures say. Nowhere does it say that Christians are to take part in this world of darkness controlled by Satan. Luke 5:6  Isaiah 40:17  This perverted idea comes from the minds of Satanically Inspired people who desire to have power and control over the world.

 

I see Patriotism as a religion of worship of the state and attempting to supply what they cannot deliver, a utopia. Anyone involved in the lie that men are capable of governing themselves rejects GODS government. Christians cannot serve two governments it’s either the government of men or the government of GOD. Acts 5:29  GOD is able to produce utopia, men can’t. Seek first the kingdom of GOD, not the kingdoms men. In both World Wars it was Christians killing other Christians when the Allie’s fought Germany. In the U.S. civil war Christians killed Christians. The Catholic Church used their power over nations to kill thousands of Christians and Jews. This is the legacy of human governments, killing, death, confusion and chaos. Looks like we did give Caesar what was Caesars, isn’t it about time we give GOD what is GODS.

2 Corinthians 11:4

“For if he who comes preaches another Jesus whom we have not preached or if you receive a different spirit which you have not received or a different gospel which you have not accepted you may well put up with it !”  2 Corinthians 11:4

The gospel is a message from GOD the FATHER through HIS son Jesus Christ.  It details how a person can have the hope of salvation.  The human being that GOD created to preach this gospel was not GOD ALMIGHTY, it was HIS 100% human son.  GOD did not die for us, a righteous man did.  If people do not know this what would that mean ?  The true gospel, of which is only one, is not a message about a triune GOD whose second member became a man and provided a way for salvation by his death and resurrection.  I thought that GOD could not die, and wouldn’t one member of a trinity becoming a human effect the nature of a distinct but not separate triune GOD ?  In all of this we have a different GOD, a different Jesus and a different gospel because none of its teachings are true.

Romans 1:16  “The gospel is the power of GOD unto salvation”  this seems very clear, the gospel is what we must know the truth of in order to have the hope of salvation.  Paul seemed to think that the gospel is what saves us, but we must hold firmly to its message.  1 Corinthians 15:1,2 

What if people who call themselves Christians do not know or understand the meaning, message and believe in another gospel that is totally different?  Paul said, Galatians 1:11,12  ,  how Paul received the gospel that he preached is the same way we all receive it.  GOD teaches us the gospel by divine revelation through Jesus Christ.  John 6:44,45  There is no other way to receive it.

Ephesians 4:4,5,6   There is only one gospel, one true GOD, one messiah.  To obey the gospel you have to know and understand the gospel otherwise you can’t obey the gospel. 

 2 Thessalonians 1:8   Wow, sure sounds like people that don’t know GOD and aren’t obeying the gospel are going to be in very big trouble.  I would think that this would apply to any religion that teaches a false gospel or false God, wouldn’t you ?  

For someone who considers themself to be a Christian to just slap the label of Christian on people who obviously do not know GOD, Christ or the message of the gospel seems extremely foolish.  The evidence from scripture is very plain and to deny it calls GOD, Jesus and the Apostles liars.  

Instead of just slapping the label Christian on anyone who claims to be a Christian wouldn’t it be wise to go with what GOD has inspired in the scriptures to identify HIS people ?   Otherwise you may well put up with it.   Think on it.

WAS THE MESSAGE OF CHRIST FOR THE CHURCH TO BRANDISH A SWORD AS AN EXECUTIONER ?

Matthew 26:52   Matthew 5:9   Hebrews 12:14,19 Romans 12:18   Galatians 5:22   

There are people who think of themselves as the executioner who wields their sword for Christ.  Christ said that his kingdom was not yet for if it was then his servants would fight.  John 18:36   These executioners perceive themselves as a spiritual warrior who must defend their idea of what they think the true faith is.  If you disagree with them they will cut you to pieces with their sword.  They think they are perfect and see anyone who isn’t of their views as imperfect and needs to taste their steel.  They insult, they use grandiloquence to impress and quote scriptures they don’t understand.  They resemble the crusaders of old fighting for Christianity that was not Christianity at all.  They are soldiers of Babylon masquerading as soldiers for Christ.  They are able to deceive the simple minded to follow them in their folly.  

The time for true Christians to pick up the sword is yet future at the return of Christ, not now.  Psalm 149:6,7,8,9  This understanding escapes these current swordsmen who in their own deception will eventually fall on their own sword.  Hebrews 12:14  says to persue peace not war.  The one who lives by the sword dies by the sword.  The ones living today by the sword needs to beat their swords into plowshares. 

 Unconverted Peter used his sword to cut off the ear of the high priest’s servant, but what did Jesus do and what did Jesus tell Peter.  Matthew 26:51,52,53,54   Mark 15:46,47  John 18:10,11  Luke 22:49,50,51   

Peters ignorant act was going against what the scriptures said needed to be fulfilled.  This is exactly what these ignorant swordsmen do today.  They go against the teachings of Christ while thinking they are his soldiers to defend him.  No one needs to defend Christ but we all need Christ to defend us. This is a prime example of misguided zeal, a very small amount of knowledge without any wisdom that makes this sort of person dangerous.  Proverbs 3:31   Matthew 5:5   Luke 6:27,28   “To those of you who will listen” , violent men, swordsmen, executioners do not listen.  Psalm 11:5   The weak minded who agree with the swordsman are being led into a way that is not good.  Proverbs 16:29  Proverbs 24:1,2   Proverbs 3:31   These are warnings to weak minded followers of violent executioners, know this,  executioners deserve no sympathy and will receive none from Christ.  Matthew 7:21,22,23  Luke 13:25,26,27 

True Christian soldiers have their marching orders; love, peace, kindness, forgiving, merciful, humble, meekness that are the exact opposite of the swordsman.   Think on it.

HOW WILL SATAN DECEIVE THE WORLD REVELATION 12:9 ?

 The question arises, how will Satan deceive people during the period just before the great tribulation, that first 3 1/2 years of the 7 year covenant that he makes with 10 nations.  

This deception must be extremely efficient but in order to pull it off Satan will use scripture.  Satan can’t deceive anyone if he appears in his evil nature, people would see that right away.  Satan and his demons appear as ministers of light, truth is mixed with lies.  I believe that Satan will reinstitute the Ten Commandments and law of Moses, this is biblical and the vast majority of false Christians believe the Jews are GODS chosen people.  The Jews were under the law, the elect of the old covenant but due to their continued idolatry GOD divorced Israel and will not deal with them again until after Christ returns.  The church is the election according to grace, not law.  True Christians are not under the law but grace.  The law rightfully condemns all under it to death because all have sinned therefore all die.  The church escapes this condemnation and comes under the law of Christ, love GOD and neighbor with the love GOD places in us by HIS Spirit.  Romans 5:5   Love is the fulfillment of the law not our struggle to keep the law that only kills us.  The letter kills it is the spirit that gives life.  Therefore if Satan brings the world under the law there is no salvation but there is a denial of everything Christ accomplished for us.  The book of Revelation says there will be a temple and sacrifices which indicates the old covenant is revived.  Paul also mentions a third temple .  Modern day Israel will believe that the beast is their messiah and will be thrilled to have their temple, the sacrifices and their way of temple worship practiced by all.  Remember Jesus gave his life to get us out of the law and bring us into a new covenant and once this happens we are no longer under the law. Do you see this tactic of the Devil ?  Do you understand how it works ?   This deception will be swallowed hook, line and sinker by the carnal world.  The true Christians, the elect of GOD cannot be deceived, they know the truth.  There is to be a small remnant of these elect saints that have protection from GOD during the entire 7 years of the antichrist rule.  Revelation 3:10   This remnant is of the 144000 that will inherit the kingdom of GOD when Jesus returns.  This is the little flock Jesus talked about.  Luke 12:32  These elect saints are the few chosen by GOD.  Matthew 22:14   These elect cannot be deceived, it’s not possible. Matthew 24:24   These elect are faithful and are protected from the evil one.  2 Thessalonians 3:3  1 Corinthians 1:8,9   These elect are the Philadelphia church in the book of Revelation.  Revelation 3:7-13   

Satan will use scripture but mix it with lies to deceive the world, to bring them under the law by which is no salvation but rather a denial of Christ.   At the midpoint of the 7 years the antichrist declares himself GOD.  The Jews will reject him and bring about the tribulation on themselves and the rest of the world.  Others who believe that GOD can be a man will accept the antichrist and take his mark.  There are many other articles here that explain this more clearly.

Because the world has been deceived on so many things it makes it extremely difficult to to unravel all the lies of Satan to expose them and then reveal what the truth is.   Revelation 12:9 is not exaggerating, the entire world, except the true church, is even now deceived before the great tribulation has begun.  If the world is already deceived it will be even worse during the time of the antichrist.  

THE VEIL SPREAD OVER ALL NATIONS

 Isaiah 25:7KJV  2 Corinthians 3:14,15,16

What is this veil that covers all nations ?

2 Corinthians 3:7 Paul calls the Ten Commandments, that were engraved in letters on stone, the ministry of death.  In verse 9 Paul calls the Ten Commandments the ministry of condemnation.  The law, the Ten Commandments, had a glory but the new covenant of GOD and Christ has a greater glory that does not fade away as the Ten Commandments do.  This agrees with Hebrews 8:13, the old covenant, the Ten Commandments, are obsolete and are fading away just as the the glory on the face of Moses faded away.  Romans 6:7  Paul explains that Christians are released from the Ten Commandments so that we may serve in the new covenant of the Holy Spirit and not in the old covenant way of the Ten Commandments.  The old covenant, the Ten Commandments and law of Moses, is only abolished in the church not in the carnal unconverted world.  John 1:17  if grace and truth came by Jesus Christ then the law, the old covenant, the Ten Commandments, that came by Moses, had no grace or truth.  The law, the old covenant, the Ten Commandments, only made things worse, made sin even more sinful, but the church has grace and forgiveness of sin but the unconverted would does not.  Romans 5:20,21

Now, this veil that covers the nations is the hiding of the knowledge of the mysteries of the kingdom of GOD from everyone but the church.  Matthew 13:11

The entire carnal world is guilty under the law, Romans 3:19  ,  they are all under the Ten Commandments, the old covenant, the church is not.  

Everyone who is placed under the law, the Ten Commandments , are under the curse of death, no one under the Ten Commandments is justified and the law is not of faith but the carnal world under the Ten Commandments must live by them or die.  Galatians 3:10,11,12   The church is under a greater set of commandments, the two Jesus gave us of love to GOD and love to neighbor.  The Ten Commandments did not have GODS love, GODS love is only by a gift of HIS Holy Spirit.  Romans 5:5  The carnal people of the world cannot understand this at all, only GOD can open their eyes to see it.  Therefore a veil covers all the carnal people of the world and the only way for it to be lifted is when GOD draws a person to Christ and converts them, gives them HIS spirit and teaches the person HIS truth.   No one can come to Christ unless the FATHER draws them and the FATHER does this by the old covenant Ten Commandments because that person is then able to see they are dead in their sins and need a savior.  This is how the Ten Commandments are a schoolmaster to draw us to Christ, then the person is no longer under the Ten Commandments but under the two greatest commandments Jesus gave and GOD works in them with HIS love to change the persons nature to be like that of GOD and HIS son Jesus.  The person no longer works to keep the Ten Commandments, they become GODS workmanship and GOD works in them both to will and to do HIS good pleasure.  In this way sin is no longer the transgression of the Ten Commandments but whatever is not of the love of GOD.  If GODS love fulfills the Ten Commandments then not loving doesn’t.  People under the Ten Commandments do not have GODS love in them because they do not have the Holy Spirit that gives that love, therefore under the Ten Commandments they can never fulfill the Ten Commandments and they sin, then sin brings death.  No one should ever despise GODS Ten Commandments, they should love GODS Ten Commandments because they are what GOD uses to bring you to Christ.  King David, who had GODS Holy Spirit, Psalm 51:11 , loved GODS Ten Commandments because he learned the lesson of the schoolmaster, he was in the new covenant and had access to repentance and forgiveness when he sinned by committing adultery and murder.  Read all of Psalm 51 with the new covenant in mind and if GOD  desires to open your eyes you will see the blessings of the new covenant applied to King David.  

The true church of GOD is not under the veil that covers all the nations, the veil for them was lifted when they were brought to Christ by GOD.  

FRUSTRATION OVER THE GRACE OF GOD

Galatians 2:21KJV  What did Paul mean when he wrote this scripture ?  “I do not frustrate the grace of GOD for if righteousness came by the law Christ died for nothing”.  Paul mentions both grace and law in this passage.  People in Paul’s day just like today can’t understand how sin can be avoided if they don’t keep the Ten Commandments.  The Ten Commandments were the old covenant GOD made with ancient Israel. Exodus 31:18   These two tables of stone were kept in the ARK OF THE COVENANT so it is very plain that the Ten Commandments were indeed the old covenant.  To dispute this point is futile.  Under this old covenant a person who broke the Ten Commandments died without mercy. Hebrews 10:28   There was no mercy in this old covenant, no repentance, no forgiveness, no justification, no faith and no life.  The letter of this law kills everyone under this covenant.  Here is the proof.  Romans 3:23  Galatians 3:10  The Ten Commandments are GODS justice against sinners.  The wages of sin is death.  Romans 6:23

The question then is, how can we avoid sin if the church is not under the Ten Commandments ?

The answer is the new covenant of grace.   Jesus did not abolish the law, all the law is still in force over the carnal world a condemns all sinners to everlasting death.  Matthew 5:17   Jesus told people that he knew were under the law to keep the law because the law was to lead people to Christ, to see their need for a savior to rescue them from the laws just condemnation of sinners.

Because there was none righteous, no not one, GOD had to create a righteous man, HIS son, the messiah.  This righteous messiah would fulfill the intent of GODS Ten Commandments with GODLY love, not by human effort but by GODS love.  GODS love is the fulfillment of the Ten Commandments.  Romans 13:10   The Ten Commandments did not include GODS love by HIS spirit but in the new covenant of grace this GODLY love is in Christians by the Holy Spirit. Romans 5:5   True Christians are empowered by GODLY love to do no harm to anyone and thus fulfilling what the Ten Commandments could not do.  Romans 8:3   Now, one of the definitions of sin is to be unrighteous.  1 John 5:17  1 Corinthians 6:9KJV  GODLY love produces righteousness and neither righteousness or GODLY love comes by the Ten Commandments.  Just as Paul said, if righteousness did come by keeping the Ten Commandments then Jesus died for nothing and there would have been no need for a new covenant or a messiah.  This spiritual understanding was given only to the true church of GOD, all other people not called and chosen in this current age will not understand.  Matthew 13:10,11,12,13,14  

 This prompts another question, why does GOD call and choose some people and not all people ?  The answer to this is also only known by the called and chosen.  John 3:16,17   GOD loves the whole world, all people, but is not willing that any should perish but rather come to repentance.  2 Peter 3:9  GOD wants people to repent, however most people in this current evil age will not repent.  To avoid these unrepentant people from perishing if GOD gave them HIS spirit now HE will wait until two more opportunities in the future when conditions are more favorable for them, the millennium and second resurrection.  If people who have GODS spirit refuse to repent they will perish as Jesus said, Luke 13:3  GOD who is omniscient, knows absolutely everything in eternity, knows who will repent in this age and who will not and to keep the unrepentant of this age from perishing HE will not call and choose them for salvation at this time.  Remember, GOD has written a book called the Lambs book of life and all the names of all true Christians are in it.  GOD wrote this book at the foundation of the world, before time began.  Revelation 13:8  Ephesians 1:4  Revelation 20:12  Revelation 3:5  Psalm 69:27,28  Exodus 32:32,33   The only sin that leads to everlasting death in the new covenant is sinning against GODS Holy Spirit.  This is the unpardonable sin and only people that have the Holy Spirit can commit this sin.  So I hope you see why GOD does not call and choose everybody in this current evil age, it’s because HE loves them and doesn’t want to see them perish.  

I hope GOD gives the eyes to see these things to whoever HE calls and chooses. A babe in Christ, a newcomer to the faith, will have to be taught by GOD through Jesus about the mysteries of the kingdom of GOD.  When the babe finishes his milk then he will be ready to eat meat.  

Now that you have read this article I hope you can understand why so many people frustrate grace.  Why only the true church understands the mysteries of the kingdom of GOD and why GOD doesn’t call and choose everyone today.  That GOD has known all things in eternity and knows the best time for each of us to be called and chosen.  That GOD does all these things because HE loves everyone.

THE TRINITARIAN GOSPEL

 

 For most trinitarians the following is their view of the gospel .

GOD died for us 

Our souls are immortal 

Once we are saved we’re always saved 

Our reward is going to heaven immediately after we die and meeting all those who died before us 

We already have everlasting life because of our immortal soul we just need a place to live it out 

Bad people go to hell and are experiencing everlasting conscious torture 

Everyone who says they believe in Jesus and call him Lord will be saved

These are a few of the beliefs of trinitarians, do you think trinitarians are Christians ?  Do you think their beliefs are true ?   Do their beliefs agree with the gospel ?  

If you have been taught by GOD through Jesus Christ the true gospel then you would see instantly that all trinitarian beliefs are false.  The gospel is the message from GOD that HE sent HIS son to preach. It is the message of salvation in the kingdom of GOD.  The Holy Spirit of the FATHER gives true Christians the gift of discernment to identity spirits and their origin, are they of GOD or Satan.  Using this gift a true Christian would only need to ask anyone some questions and could by their answers determine if they are a Christian or not.  This would not take much time or effort to determine.  

Telling someone that they do not have the Holy Spirit greatly offends them even when it is the truth. People believe very strongly in the deception they are in and think they know the truth but in reality they know nothing. Just ask former members of the Jehovahs Witnesses, WCG, Mormons or other false churches whose have been called and chosen, elected by GOD and put into HIS church. They were all deceived before GOD and Christ intervened and now do know the truth.  Now that they see it may be possible, if GOD is willing, that they may help others in deception to see.  It will be GOD who must open the eyes of the spiritually blind, at best the elect saints can only be used by GOD as a catalyst to begin the process of coming out of deception, out of darkness and into the light.

 Just because a person is unconverted and without the Holy Spirit does not mean they are condemned to everlasting death, it means they have not been converted yet.  GODS plan of salvation has three separate times in which HE will offer salvation; today in this current evil age, the millennium and finally the second resurrection .

True Christians know this and are not being unmerciful or cruel, they are merely being truthful as to the spiritual state of the unconverted.  

I have written many articles that explain all of this in greater detail.  GODS love is what makes salvation possible, not HIS justice in the law.  True Christians are not under the law, the Ten Commandments and laws of Moses.  True Christians have two commandments of love that GODS spirit in them helps them to live in that love.  This love is GODS love by the Holy Spirit in us.  Romans 5:5  If you love GOD and your neighbor with this GODLY love then you will fulfill the intent of the law.  You will not do any harm, you will not sin.  It is GOD working in the Christian while the Christian stops working and submits in faith.   Philippians 3:9  Philippians 2:13   Under the law you worked, under grace GOD works. Ephesians 2:10KJV  To believe this requires faith, Hebrews 11:6 and even faith is a gift of GOD.  Galatians 5:22  

In summary,  it is not wrong, evil, unmerciful or uncompassionate to say trinitarians are not Christians and do not have the Holy Spirit nor is it to say the same of the other false churches in this world.  It is speaking the truth , to not speak the truth is to speak lies.  No lie is of the truth.

The above scriptures all relate to the comment Jesus made, “as it was in the days of Noah so shall it be at the coming of the son of man”.  The question then is how do the days of Noah relate to today ?  Very often the scriptures use symbolism, parables and analogies instead of plain speech and this is done to hide the true meaning from people that GOD does not want to understand.  To the church only is it given to understand the mysteries of the kingdom of GOD.  Luke 8:10  “Unto you”   The “you” in this verse was the disciples Jesus was speaking to, the men who became Apostles in the church.  All unconverted people will not understand.  

Noah did preach a message to the people of his day just as Christ did in his day. 2 Peter 2:5  The vast majority of the people in both days did not believe or understand the message.  Noah’s message saved 8 people from a flood but the message of Jesus saves multiple billions of people from a fire, the lake of fire, the second death.  

When the time appointed by GOD came those who believed Noah’s message were sealed inside the ark by GOD.  When the time comes, those who believed Jesus will be sealed in their foreheads by GOD.  Before the flood came the door of the ark was open to everyone but just before the flood GOD shut the door to the ark.  Genesis 7:16.  Today the door of salvation is open to those GOD calls and chooses out of the world and the door is open to them but when the number of 144,000 is completed the door will be shut, the door is Christ, John 10:9  and only GOD can open that door that no one can shut or open.   John 6:44  Revelation 3:7,8  

The fire of the great tribulation will burn men who are not in the ark, the Philadelphia church, along with certain Christians who are not cold or hot, the Laodiceans .  Matthew 3:12  Revelation 3:15,16,17,18,19 

Baptism is symbolized by the waters of Noah , 1 Peter 3:21 and just as the waters of Noah cleansed the earth of evil humans it cleanses the spirits of just men made perfect.  Washed in the blood of Christ and by the water of the word. The flood came and took all the people away, in the future Satan spews a flood out of his mouth to carry the church away but the earth helps the church by swallowing up the flood.  This is the unconverted people swallowing the deception of Satan and thus revealing to the church the lies of Satan.   Remember GODS promise to never again destroy all life on Earth , HE keeps that promise by allowing those who repent during the tribulation to live into the millennium. Genesis 9:11

During the false millennium people will be marrying and giving in marriage as in Noah’s day but then comes sudden destruction. In Noah’s day the flood in our day The great tribulation.

Now, this idea is one that needs much prayer, meditation and study; Genesis 7:11 , specifically the date, the 17th day of the second month.  This year, the 17th day of the second month, fell on May 14th , 2025 and will be the same in 2026, in 2027  it will fall on March 26, 2027 . In 2028 it will be Saturday May 13th and in 2029 Wednesday May 2 .  Could the comments by Jesus have anything to do with any of these dates ?   Several of these dates are around the time Israel became a nation on May 14, 1948  May14th 2026 Israel will be 78 years old.

In Noah’s day people were evil , Genesis 6:5 ,  and this seems to be what is happening in this world today.  It says in this verse, “the thoughts and intents of the heart (human spirit) was only evil continually” and is in agreement with the words of Jesus,  Matthew 15:19,20   When this kind of spiritual condition exists in humanity GOD will intervene.  In Noah’s day GOD responded by ending human life but the next time HE intervenes to save it.  Matthew 24:22   The flood was caused directly by GOD but the tribulation by Satan and his human followers.  The day of the Lord is GODS intervention to bring HIS wrath upon Satans kingdom. Revelation 11:18

Today there are so many things happening that it is almost impossible to keep track of them all.  Humanity is growing more evil.  All you need to do is watch the news, at least news that reports the truth, because even much of the news media is evil.  Many elected politicians are evil as well as those who elected them.  It is not only in the United States, it is worldwide.  What we are seeing is Satan preparing the world for his antichrist to rule but to achieve this Satan will have a false tribulation.  Once Satans antichrist is in power then Satan produces a false millennium.  The covenant Satans antichrist makes for 7 years with ten earthly rulers will be broken by the antichrist and this will start the real great tribulation.  These things are only generalities because I have no specifics, no details, as is true of prophetic events.  We must watch to see the finer details come to light as events progress. 

 President Trump has brokered a peace deal in the Middle East. What could this event lead to ?  The Jewish people compare President Trump to the biblical king  Cyrus, king of Persia, who allowed the Jews to return to Israel and rebuild the city and the temple. If this third temple is built will President Trump play a part ?  Why would Jewish rabbis view President Trump in this way ?   If the Islamic nations are willing to have peace then what else may they be willing to do ?  We may very well see that third temple on the hill of Zion very soon.  This dream of the Jewish people is a nightmare for the Islamic people and could very well end President Trumps peace deal if Israel attempts to build it.  Remember that the Islamic people have a very bad track record when it comes to honoring deals.  A Jewish third temple may just be what causes the false tribulation.  We have suspected that Islam will be the false antichrist that the real antichrist destroys.  

The comments made by Jesus concerning the days of Noah being similar to our days is showing us a pattern of how GOD has dealt with humanity in the past and how HE will deal with them in the future. 

I do not think the peace deal by President Trump will hold for long because just like in Noah’s day every thought and intent of the signers of this deal is only evil continually.   It is interesting that 8 Islamic nations were instrumental in Trump’s peace agreement; Qatar, Egypt, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, U.A.E. , Indonesia and Pakistan. When you add Israel and the United States it is 10 nations that were involved, interesting.  

We must continue to watch and not reach premature conclusions about what I have written.  With that said, I do believe that events are lining up for the crisis we know is coming and the end of human rule of the earth with the return of Jesus Christ.  I am now in my 70’s and I have seen many things but I have never seen anything like what is happening today.  Hopefully it will not be long before GOD sends Jesus back to establish HIS kingdom.

THE MIND OF GOD CHRIST AND THE SAINTS

 There seems to be much confusion about the mind of GOD not being accessible to a converted human.  Some think it’s blasphemy to claim that a Christian can think like GOD.  Well, if we don’t then we are not Christians.  In order to come out of our sinful nature we must have GODS love and be taught and inspired by HIS spirit.  Even Jesus had  his GOD and FATHERS way of thinking because that is how he lived his life and why he was incapable of sin.  Here are some scriptures that back up the spiritual truth that true Christians do indeed have the mind of Christ who had the mind of GOD.

Job 38:36  Luke 24:45   Romans 8:5,6,7   Romans 12:2,3   1 Corinthians 2:12,16 Ephesians 4:20,21,22,23,24   Philippians 2:5   Philippians 4:7 

Colossians 3:2   Hebrews 8:10   James 1:5,6,7,8

2 Timothy 1:7KJV   Ephesians 3:16   Romans 8:5,6

There are many more scriptures that inform us about how GODS people will experience a changing of their minds and thoughts to by HIS spirit be recreated in the image of HIS son who HE created after HIS own image.  Hebrews 1:3  The Christian destiny is to be born into the kingdom of GOD as an immortal impeccable spirit being. At that time we will no longer be human beings but spirit beings and will have achieved perfection.  We will be just like Christ, a true son of the living GOD.  While we are yet human the process begins at conversion and is to continue until we die.  We are to grow in the spirit, in grace and knowledge.  There will always be only just one GOD and we along with Jesus are all HIS sons.  We are when in the kingdom both kings and priests and we will rule and teach the humans on earth.  This is what GOD is doing with humanity and HE will achieve it at three different times; this current evil age, the age to come in the millennium and the third age the second resurrection.  After the third age there will be endless ages of righteousness, joy, peace and love.  Today a true Christian can only know and understand these things by the Holy Spirit of GOD in them, their minds are connected to the minds of GOD and Christ, true Christians then think and live as Christ did, we become spiritual copies of Jesus.  

For anyone to deny these things shows their spiritual ignorance and total lack of spiritual knowledge and understanding.  

What I have written here is exactly what GOD is doing and I know these things because, Amos 3:7 , and all of GODS elected Christians are prophets and prophetesses because they are taught by GOD through Jesus Christ.  John 6:45  Everything I know or any true Christian knows about spiritual things is by divine revelation from GOD through the mediator Jesus Christ.   The mind of Jesus must be in true Christians.  Christians are in the process of being “one” with GOD just as Jesus was “one” with GOD.

To think that this is somehow wrong, impossible or blasphemy shows that you don’t have the connection to GOD that you think you do.  With this contact to GOD there is absolutely no need for human preachers, teachers, pastors, ministers at all and besides this, anyone thinking they are pastors, ministers, teachers are deceived and agents of Satan posing as ministers of light, wolves in sheeps clothing. In All the deceiving Satan has done the tool he uses is a human being so the answer is to give up on human beings claiming to be of GOD and in some false churches ministries and go to the source of all truth, GOD ALMIGHTY.   Your choice is this; go to some man for GODS truth or go to GOD.  Seems like an easy choice to me. 

THE U.S. GOVERNMENT IS NOT WHAT YOU THINK *

Most people today think the federal government is operating in accordance with the constitution.  Recently the supreme court ruled Roe vs Wade unconstitutional because the constitution gave the federal government no express power to make abortion the law of the land.  The Implied power excuse was not used by the court. Any power not granted to the federal government must go to the states.  The tenth article of the bill of rights says that any power not specifically given to the federal government by the constitution must go to the States.  If this is true of Row vs Wade then it would also hold for any other things the federal government has taken upon itself to make national law.  Things like social security, medicare and medicaid are unconstitutional for the same reason as Roe v Wade because the constitution does not give the federal government the power to establish a national retirement program or health care program.  The constitution gives the federal government the following powers; Taxing, borrowing money, printing or coining money and controlling the value of money, regulating commerce, the U.S. mail, declaring war, raising armies, provide for defense and promote general welfare.  These are called enumerated powers and are explicitly listed in article 1 section 8 of the constitution.  Many say the constitution grants implied powers that gives congress the ability to institute things like the federal reserve but nowhere does it say this in the constitution.  The politicians use the phrase "necessary and proper" to say that federal government can basically rob the powers that belong to the states in the constitutions tenth article.  The federal reserve was created by congress in 1913 by a simple up or down vote that gave control of the nations money supply to a group of private bankers but according to the constitution congress cannot delegate powers given to it by the constitution to some other entity, for example congress cannot vote to make the governor of Florida the commander and chief of the nations military because the constitution gives that power to the president.  The only way the constitution can be changed is by an amendment that requires a two thirds majority of both houses of congress or by two thirds of the states.  

What our federal government is today is nothing like what the founding fathers designed.  Politicians in congress have over the years butchered the constitution  to give themselves more power.  Today the federal government basically blackmails the states by withholding money from them to bend them to their will.  This money belonged to the states but congress controls how it is distributed.  Haven't you ever wondered why the states have many of the same departments as the federal government; education, treasury, transportation, justice, agriculture, health and human services.  These departments do receive some state funding but also rely on federal government support.  The federal government has it fingers into everything but according to the constitution has no authority to do so.

What this shows is that your voting means nothing in the long run of things because the federal , state and local governments are all in cahoots with each other to control just about everything in the lives of the citizens.  Changes have been made without the process prescribed by the constitution to the constitution. 

There is a very intelligent man by the name of Mark Levin on the Fox News channel who has a program called "Life, Liberty and Levin" and I would highly recommend that you tune in to watch. Levin is an expert in the constitution and explains how modern government is nothing like the founding fathers intended.  While I am apolitical and do not take part in politics I do watch what is going on because as I sojourn in this land and it can effect me.  If I feel threatened by government I will pray to GOD to intervene to stop it.  Voting won't change anything because once governments gain power they do not want to give it up. 

* I would never do anything to harm the U.S. or any other nation and I hope that you will not either.  No statement made in this article should be taken in any way other than an observation based upon biblical evidence or actual historical facts.  

 

THE ANSWER TO ALL THE EVIL WE SEE IN THIS WORLD

 If you have been watching current events then you should be aware that not only is the Unites States in deep trouble but almost all nations are experiencing conditions that most people have never seen.  Here in the United States there is violence breaking out in many cities and people either ignorantly or deliberately are breaking federal laws about illegal immigration and on college campuses praising terrorist organizations.  We have seen the murders of citizens and attempted murder of Donald Trump.  While I am apolitical I am not stupid and I follow the command of Jesus to watch events.  Mark 13:37  The division in the United States runs very deep between the two major political parties; Democrats and Republicans.  I do not see either side willing to give up what they stand for.  The violence seems to come from the Democratic left and is being encouraged by Democratic Party leaders.  From Governors to Mayors, house and senate leaders from the Democratic Party have been pushing agendas that the majority of Americans don’t want or support.  In Europe the Islamic people they brought into their countries have been causing big problems and they are feared by leaders and citizens.  There is the war in Ukraine and the Middle East accompanied by a growing wave of antisemitism.  The world is a mess.

What we are seeing is the perilous times predicted by the Apostle Paul.  2 Timothy 3:1,2,3,4,5,6,7   1 Timothy 4:1,2,3  and Peter 2 Peter 3:3  Jude 1:18  and Jesus Matthew 24:10,11,12   These ongoing events have the potential to produce the crisis of the end of the age that I call the false tribulation.  It is a time when the antichrist will appear and seem to bring peace as he forms a ten nation alliance.  From Jerusalem he will rule for almost 7 years.  He will be involved in building the third Temple, bring back the animal sacrifices and bring the world under the law.

I do not know exactly when or how these things will all come together but scripture says they will.  The true church of GOD must stay out of these things that are coming and remain politically neutral and continue living in GODS will.  Because we love GOD and neighbor we do no harm to anyone and therefore will not be perceived as a threat to anyone.  After this false tribulation ends then there will come a false millennium.  The Jews will think antichrist is their messiah and false Christians will think he is Jesus.  At the midpoint of the 7 year alliance the antichrist breaks the agreement and declares himself GOD. The Jews will reject him because they have always known GOD isn’t a man but the false Christians who are 98% Trinitarian think GOD can be a man and follow the antichrist and accept his mark.  This begins the great tribulation which is the worst time in all of human history and will be cut short by the return of Jesus otherwise all of humanity would die.  Matthew 24:22   

I am aware that prophecy is like looking in a dark place making it hard to see and when details are blurred, but if we are watching as events unfold more light will shine that allows more to be known. If we do not watch those days will come upon as a thief and we will not see and be in darkness as to what is happening.  1 Thessalonians 5:1,2,3,4,5,6   

The church of the living GOD in order to be protected by GOD from the times coming we must be faithful to the gospel, not deny the name of Christ and endure to the end.  Revelation 3:8,9,10  

 Even though what is coming is horrible beyond words to describe it must happen to bring back Jesus.  Only the FATHER knows the day and the hour of all these things.  We HIS people pray for HIS kingdom to come to Earth because the only answer to all the political problems of division, violence, murder and all manner of evil is the return of Jesus Christ.
