| Self-appointed 13th "Apostle" Paul, hard at work wiping out the Torah. The result? The world faces imminent foreclosure. "Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man." -Ecclesiastes 12:13. To the Law and to the Testimony! Throughout the history of the nation of Israel, Ehyeh commanded that there were two precepts that were never to depart from Israel: The Law and the Testimony. There were no other standards by which God's chosen people were to test the claims of the prophets. According to Jeremiah 31:36, if they ever failed to use only those standards, they would cease to be a nation. Each and every time Israel strayed from the Torah, they fell back into slavery and oppression. The ability to perform miracles was not included among those prophet-testing standards, because throughout the Hebrew Scriptures it was shown that Satan has the power to manifest supernatural powers through his own servants, or "seed". Ehyeh specified the requirements for any would-be prophets: "If there arises among you a prophet or a dreamer of dreams, and he gives you a sign or a wonder, and the sign or the wonder comes to pass, of which he spoke to you, saying, ‘Let us go after other gods'-which you have not known-‘and let us serve them,' you shall not listen to the words of that prophet or that dreamer of dreams, for the LORD your God is testing you to know whether you love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul. You shall walk after the LORD your God and fear Him, and keep His commandments and obey His voice; you shall serve Him and hold fast to Him. But that prophet or that dreamer of dreams shall be put to death, because he has spoken in order to turn you away from the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt and redeemed you from the house of bondage, to entice you from the way in which the LORD your God commanded you to walk. So you shall put away the evil from your midst." -Deuteronomy 13:1-5. Many miracles were attributed to Paul, including raising a young boy named Eutychus from the "dead". The young man passed out as a result of Paul's endless droning of decrees, and fell from a third-floor window. Acts 20:9 says the boy was "taken up" dead: Taken up: G142 αἴρω airō ah'ee-ro A primary verb; to lift; by implication to take up or away; figuratively to raise (the voice), keep in suspense (the mind); specifically to sail away (that is, weigh anchor); by Hebraism (compare [H5375]) to expiate sin: - away with, bear (up), carry, lift up, loose, make to doubt, put away, remove, take (away, up). Personally, I'll go with the "keep the mind in suspense" explanation. Paul never confirmed the boy was dead, nor did he claim to have resurrected him. Verse 10 says: "And Paul went down, and fell on him, and embracing him said, Trouble not yourselves; for his life is in him." Evidently, the multitude that witnessed this believed the boy was dead, but was he really? Or was this event staged with supernatural help? Sure, Paul had healing powers, but where did he get them? Isaiah also warned that Ehyeh's people have a duty to seek only Him in order to keep from being led astray: "To the law and to the testimony! If they do not speak according to this word, it is because there is no light in them." (Isa. 8:20). This is the single biggest reason why traditional Christianity is not an option for the Jews. As Christians, we should ask ourselves this question: How could Ehyeh have expected Israel to adopt Christianity in the form that Paul taught it, in that the Torah was not only inferior but a curse? Some say that since Jesus was sent to preach only to the House of Israel, not all of His teachings to the Jews apply to the Gentiles. In the same breath they say that Christians are an extension of Israel by means of "replacement theology". They also point to Jews and Gentiles becoming "one flock" as per John 10:16, but fail to explain how there are two sets of sheep within this same flock under two different sets of rules. When Jesus addressed the Jews at Matthew 5:19 regarding the "smallest particle or letter of the Torah" not passing away "until all be fulfilled, He said "WHOEVER" does the commandments and TEACHES them will be considered "GREAT in the Kingdom of the Heavens". Clearly Jesus was repulsed by the thought of someone teaching that His Father's Law was not only null and void but a CURSE. He said that "heaven and earth will pass away" first before that happens. Last time I checked, heaven and earth were still here. Until someone can prove that heaven and earth has passed away, Jesus said the Torah stands. "Cursed be he that confirmeth not all the words of this law to do them." (Deuteronomy 27:26) Paul quotes these words and twists them to say that the Law itself is a curse! "For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them." (Galatians 3:10) These blasphemous words have been used by "Christian" Popes, patriarchs, clergy,'pastors', evangelicals, professors and supporters to justify their cruel and inhumane slaughters and treatments of "the Saints of The Most High" in inquisitions; crusades; holocausts; ghettos and other diabolical devices. Personally, I am not Jewish, but I love the Law. When I studied the Torah as a child I wished I could live in a world where everyone observed it. It seemed to be just the right remedy for the woes of the world. There would be no fussing about how much time criminals should serve, or how long should they have to "behave" themselves before they could be paroled. There wouldn't be any plea-bargaining, underhanded payoffs, or corrupt judges. The Torah was the Law and nothing was arbitrary. Paying back ten times what they steal ought to teach people a lesson. Pedophiles would surely think twice about what they do if they knew the result would be stoning in the middle of Main Street. Somehow Christians think that during the Millennial Reign, when billions of unrighteous people are being resurrected, everything will go along in perfect bliss without any written laws. Or maybe they think that some new set of laws will be passed by the Kingdom Government. The question is, if Ehyeh gave His Torah to the nation of Israel so that they would know what He found pleasing and what He found abominable, is there a need for any new laws? Has God changed His standards or purpose for having a holy nation before Him? Ehyeh is the Living God Paul's concept of the law is still misunderstood by scholars all throughout traditional Christianity. The discrepancy between Paul's understanding of the Law and that of Jesus is glaringly obvious. Rather than always trying to force the Bible to interpret itself based on situations in the past, sometimes we need to do so in light of our current situation. At John 21:15-17, Jesus was concerned with Peter's love for Him, and asked Peter three times if he loved Him. It is interpreted that Jesus indicated by what type of death Peter would glorify God. But then Jesus says: "Follow me!" When Peter inquired about the other disciple (John) following them, Jesus replied: "If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you? You must follow me". But then a rumor spread that the disciple would not die. Why? If we analyze this only in the context of Jesus' words, it seemed that Jesus was concerned with Peter's testimony. Jesus said to him, "feed my sheep" and stresses "follow me." Why would Jesus emphasize Peter following Him in relation to how he would physically die? And why did a rumor spread that this disciple would not die? The evidence suggests that Jesus originally said "I will (not "if I will") that he remain alive...." This is supported by the fact that Jesus said: "I tell you the truth, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away." (Matt. 24:34,35). Jesus said on more than one occasion that some would remain alive until he returns. As time went on and Jesus did not return, words were forced into the text and other words were rendered differently. Some even tried to translate "generation" as "race" to get around the apparent predicament, because they didn't understand the terms that Jesus used. "Whoever lives and believes in me shall never die." (John. 11:26). "It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life." (John. 6:63.) "You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain." -John 15:16. Doesn't it now become obvious what Jesus meant? At Matthew 24:34 He said: "This generation shall not pass till all these things be fulfilled." Perhaps a look at the Greek can also help decipher this: Generation: G1074 γενεά genea ghen-eh-ah' From (a presumed derivative of) G1085; a generation; by implication an age (the period or the persons): - age, generation, nation, time. Pass: G3928 παρέρχομαι parerchomai par-er'-khom-ahee From G3844 and G2064; to come near or aside, that is, to approach (arrive), go by (or away), (figuratively) perish or neglect, (causatively) avert: - come (forth), go, pass (away, by, over), past, transgress. Jesus is saying that it is the generation's testimony for the age that will not pass away, right up until our day, because his words are life. In light of this, why was Jesus concerned with Peter's testimony? Because he would give an endorsement to Paul! This is how is it that someone will "lead Peter where he does not want to go" so that he does not remain "alive" to Jesus' words. By endorsing Paul, Peter helped to carry out the deception of the ages on the Christian churches! A MUST READ: Did Peter Endorse Paul? Jesus Commends the Ephesians Ephesus was the earliest congregation, the first "lamp stand" to carry the light of Jesus' testimony. It is to the Ephesians that Jesus says: "I know your works, your labor, and your patience, and that you cannot bear those who are evil. And you have tested those who say they are apostles and are not, and have found them liars." (Revelation 2:2). Paul said to Timothy: "This you know, that all those in Asia Minor have turned away from me." (2 Timothy 1:15). Paul claimed to be an apostle to the Ephesians, and he says that all have turned away from him, implying that the Ephesians tested him and did not accept his doctrines. Then, the congregation in Pergamum was warned about someone teaching the people to eat food sacrificed to idols. So much for the Law being abolished! "But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, or that thou shouldest take my covenant in thy mouth? Seeing thou hatest instruction, and castest my words behind thee." -Psalms 50:16,17. The Sabbath and the Feasts Jesus and His disciples kept the sabbath and the feasts, and were still doing so after Jesus' resurrection (Mark 6:2, Luke 23:56; Acts 13:14; 16:13; 24:11). During the Millennial Reign, they will be observed once again (Isaiah 66:23,24; Hosea 12:9; Zechariah 14:16-18; Ezekiel 44:23-24; 45:21,25; 46:3,9). If these Feasts were put in place by God, observed for 2,000 years, and will be enforced again, the error of the last 2,000 years becomes obvious. Ehyeh, as His name testifies, is the Eternal God, in past, present and future tense, and He is the same today as He was yesterday, and will be tomorrow. At Colossians 2:16,17 Paul said: "Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holy day, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days. Which are a shadow of things to come, but the body of Messiah." Yes Paul, it is the Body of Christ by which we are judged, and thank you for confirming for us that these foreshadow greater things to come! How can we claim to be a follower of Jesus and ignore everything about Him? Many people are now waking up to the truth about Jesus and what it means to truly follow Him! John 10:3 says: "...the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out." Out of what? "Come out of her, my people" refers to Babylon the Great, the corrupted church. "When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice." (10:4.) "'But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will run away from him because they do not recognize a stranger's voice.' Jesus used this figure of speech, but they did not understand what he was telling them." -10:5,6. It is prophesied that in the time of the end, a special redeemed group of 144,000 Torah-followers will realize that Jesus is the Messiah. This can only happen as a result of the events of the Revelation taking place, possibly helped along by the discovery of the Tomb of David. Thus, as history unfolds, likewise does the knowledge of God. One Covenant Nowhere in the earliest manuscripts do the gospel writers use the term "New Covenant". At the Last Supper Jesus said: "this is my blood of the covenant". Redactional criticism shows that the word "new" is a later interpolation, but when Christians are confronted about this, they immediately reference Paul. Paul represents the period of night spoken of by the prophets in the Hebrew Scriptures and also Jesus Himself. There is much evidence that shows that Jesus had no intention of setting up the new covenant at the last supper. Not only because He didn't say the word "new", but also from the context of Jeremiah 31, apparently that won't happen until Jesus returns. Thus, the Torah stands! There is an editorial side-note at Matthew 26:28, as it begins the verse with "gar" (for), but the word is not found in Mark. Also, in both Mark and Matthew, the earliest manuscript evidence shows no record of the word "new" before "covenant". This should raise red flags that this verse was intentionally altered for theological purposes. Luke's verse does not begin with "gar", but does contain the phrase "new covenant". It shifts the focus off the blood and onto the cup, indicating that Luke's version is also theologically motivated. In this verse, the early manuscript evidence shows that following Mark's document, there were indeed theological issues that needed to be resolved in light of later claims by Paul and whoever wrote the book of Hebrews, that Jesus had established a "new" covenant. Paul's Alarming Statements Concerning the Apostles and the Law Galatians 2:4-6: "and that was because of false brothers secretly brought in (who slipped in to spy out our freedom which we have in Christ Jesus, so that they might reduce us to slavery) to whom not even for an hour did we yield in subjection, that the truth of the gospel might remain with you. But from those who seemed to be something--whatever they were, it makes no difference to me; God shows partiality to no man--so to me, those with influence contributed nothing." "Those with influence" were the real Apostles who were witnesses of Jesus! And of course he calls them false brothers! And can you hear the tone of Paul's voice as he says "seemed to be something"?!? No, not even "one hour" did Paul give them. Galatians 2:9-16: "...and when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace which was given to me, they gave me and Barnabas their right hands of fellowship, that we should go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcised; only they desired that we should remember the poor, which indeed I made every effort to do this very thing. But when Peter came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he was to be blamed. For before certain men came from James, he would eat together with the Gentiles; but when they came, he began to draw back and began to separate himself, fearing those of the circumcision party. And the rest of the Jews joined him in hypocrisy, so that even Barnabas was carried away with their hypocrisy. But when I saw that they did not act rightly with respect to the truth of the gospel, I said to Peter before them all, "If you, being a Jew, live in Gentile fashion and not in Jewish fashion, why do you compel the Gentiles to live as Jews? We who are Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles, knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, even we believed in Christ Jesus, so that we might be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law; because no flesh shall be justified by the works of the law." There he goes again, condescendingly deriding the Apostles with the real authority! He "convicts" Peter of "being blamed" when he wasn't there to defend himself. He preaches against circumcision, rants on and on about faith and works, contradicting James the Just, who called him a "vain man", and then hypocritically has Timothy circumcised! James 2:17-20: "Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?" Galatians 2:20,21: "I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave Himself for me. I do not annul the grace of God; for if righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died for nothing." Did Paul imagine Jesus passing the salvation torch to him? Since righteousness could come through the Law, then Paul is blasphemously saying that Jesus died for nothing! Does anyone realize what Paul has done? His cheap grace doctrine cheapens Jesus' atonement sacrifice along with it! Being declared righteous still requires a ransom sacrifice, but it also requires obeying the Law! Romans 3:20: "Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin." Romans 6:14: "...for ye are not under the law, but under grace." Romans 7:6: "But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter." There's the Torah side by side with death again along with the cheap grace doctrine. Acts 13:39: "And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses." Even the Devil believes! 1 Corinthians 6:12: "All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any." Lawlessness! Galatians 5:4: "Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace." How about needing Christ AND following His Law? Ever think of that? Please, ask yourself a question: How did Stephen's message get nullified? Why didn’t Jesus tell the true Apostles that He changed the message He gave to them? Think about this: Daniel 7:25: He thinks to change times and laws. Isn’t it becoming MORE OBVIOUS? What Spirit would try to cast the Law down? What Spirit would cause confusion? What Spirit would preach a different Savior? Do you find this confusing? Galatians 2:16: "Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified." The message is clearly "faith" and the Torah is Paul's worst nightmare. Galatians 3:20: "But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith." Again, it's "faith."Romans 3:27, 28: "Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith. Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law." It's faith for sure, isn’t it? Romans 2:13: "For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified." WHAT? Which one is it? Is the Law no good or good? What did I just say, anyway? Now I'm confused. Romans 4:5: "But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness." Does the Father really justify the wicked? What does the Torah say about justification? Exodus 23:7: "For I will not justify the wicked." (ungodly)! Proverbs 17:15: "He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both are abomination." If you believe what Paul says, that would mean the Father Himself would be an Abomination (scary isn’t it?). Ezekiel 18:27: "Again, when the wicked man turneth away from his wickedness that he hath committed, and doeth that which is lawful and right, he shall save his soul alive." Ezekiel 14:14: "Though these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, they should deliver but their own souls by their righteousness, saith the LORD God." Daniel 8:25: "And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand." Read on carefully. 2 Corinthians 12:16: "But be it so, I did not burden you: nevertheless, being crafty, I caught you with guile…" Did Jesus ever talk like that? Sounds like someone else we know.... 2 Corinthians 11:8: "I robbed other churches, taking wages of them, to do you service." Did Paul inspire "Robin Hood"? 2 Corinthians 11:23: "Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as a fool) I am more; in labors more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequent, in deaths often." I thought the "least" was the "greatest"? Galatians 1:14: "And profited in the Jews' religion above many my equals in mine own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers." We know what Jesus said about tradition, don't we? By the way, when did Paul ever blast the Pharisees like Jesus did? 1 Corinthians 15:10: "But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me." Now Paul is not just the savior but the "I AM" too! And there he goes blowing his own horn again about how hard he works! 2 Corinthians 10:8: "For though I should boast somewhat more of our authority, which the Lord hath given us for edification, and not for your destruction, I should not be ashamed.” Did Daniel say he would boast? Galatians 5:14: "For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself." What happened to commandment #1? Galatians 4:14: "And my temptation which was in my flesh ye despised not, nor rejected; but received me as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus." "Antichrist" means "in place of" Christ. 1 Corinthians 9:19-22: "For though I be free from all men, yet have I made myself servant unto all, that I might gain the more. And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law; To them that are without law, as without law, (being not without law to God, but under the law to Christ,) that I might gain them that are without law. To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some." Is Paul the new Savior? No, he's a chameleon! So much for being sincere! Let's just chalk this one up to Paul's epileptic delusions of grandeur, shall we? "For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect." (Matthew 24:24.) "There is a way which seems right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death." (Proverbs 14:12) "Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man." -Ecclesiastes 12:13. Are you beginning to sense a new understanding of the "Mystery of Lawlessness" and who spawned it? John said in Revelation 10:10: "And I took the little book out of the angel’s hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter." After digesting Daniel's book, the vision of the New Testament came into view. It was sweet in his mouth, but yet, he was sickened! Somehow Dionysus has morphed into Christ! Another Gospel has crept in! Just believe! Acts 14:3: "Long time therefore abode they speaking boldly in the Lord, which gave testimony unto the word of his grace, and granted signs and wonders to be done by their hands." Where did Jesus ever mention grace? And who is giving the beast his power to perform signs and wonders? Acts 19:11: "And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul…" 1 Chronicles 21:1: "And Satan stood up against Israel, and provoked David." If Satan could move David to believe he was doing the will of the Father, how about a murdering self-proclaimed Pharisee who butchered Christians while the real Apostles were learning directly from the Master? Matthew 24:24: "For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect." 1 Corinthians 4:16: "Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me." In many versions it says “be imitators…" 1 Corinthians 9:1: "Am I not an apostle? Am I not free? Have I not seen Jesus Christ our Lord? Are not ye my work in the Lord?" Is a “Great Light” enough evidence to say you saw "The Lord"? What is the true criteria for earning the title of “Apostle”? Is it appropriate to take credit for converting people? Act 1:22 says: "Beginning from the baptism of John, unto that same day that he was taken up from us, must one be ordained to be a witness with us of his resurrection." Notice that the requirement was that an Apostle must have walked with Jesus from the baptism of John, been ordained, and witnessed the Resurrection! Matthias was chosen to replace Judas, and he witnessed it all. Saul didn’t appear on the scene until Stephen's stoning, which Paul admittedly approved of. Thus, Paul fails the qualifications for the title “Apostle.” Acts 1:23-26: "And they appointed two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias. That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place. And they gave forth their lots; and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles." If anybody was qualified to be the thirteenth Apostle it would have been Barsabas! 1 Corinthians 9:2: "If I be not an apostle unto others, yet doubtless I am to you: for the seal of mine apostleship are ye in the Lord." Ironically Paul wrote this to Timothy, at 2 Timothy 1:15: “This thou knowest, that all they which are in Asia be turned away from me; of whom are Phygellus and Hermgenes." And Jesus commended the Ephesians for it! Romans 2:16: "In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel." Romans 16:25: "Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel." Can Paul make it any clearer whose gospel it is? Does that sound like Jesus' voice to you? Are you going to follow this wolf? What does it say in Revelation 20:12? "And the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works." Why doesn’t it read “Paul’s Gospel?” Because there were no works in his! And if Paul was the greatest Apostle, why wasn't the Revelation given to him? Because "Thou givest thy mouth to evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit. Thou sittest and speakest against thy brother; thou slanderest thine own mother's son. These things hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest that I was altogether such an one as thyself: but I will reprove thee, and set them in order before thine eyes." -Psalms 50:19-21. Paul said in Philippians 3:6: “Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample." Concerning the Law, Jesus taught the proper application of it, which would have released them from slavery to the Law, and if they did it right, Jesus would have shown them fulfillment and freedom. Then they could have received confirmation of the renewed Covenant. Revelation 13:3: "And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast." Hey, maybe Paul is coming back as the Antichrist, with his old buddies in the Roman Empire! Acts 14:19: "And there came thither certain Jews from Antioch and Iconium, who persuaded the people, and, having stoned Paul, drew him out of the city, supposing he had been dead." Here Paul apparently received a DEADLY WOUND." Acts 14:20: "Howbeit, as the disciples stood round about him, he rose up, and came into the city.” The deadly wound was healed. (Isn't God's Word amazing?) PAULINE CHRISTIANITY and anyone else who takes Paul's Words as Gospel has failed the test of DEUTERONOMY 13:1-5!! It is disturbing to think, we really didn’t love EL SHADDAI ELOHIM EHYEH ASHER EHYEH with all our heart, because the false prophet (okay, his predecessor) slipped past us. Well it's only the beginning of the waking up period, so get to know your Father like you never could before , and say “HallaluYEH!!!" The Coming Global Enslavement Is the Law a Curse, or is the real curse lawlessness? In the Old Testament, on each and every occasion that the Israelites wandered away from the laws, they ended up oppressed, exploited, and back to being enslaved. Americans today think they are "free", but their government exploits them in much the same way: Illegal, unnecessary and inflated income tax that was never ratified, and through exploitive legislation that allows the rich to get richer and the poor poorer. These practices were outlawed under the Torah. America's wealth has never been meted out among its people. Their loans are loaded with interest, and there is never forgiveness from unpaid debts. There is freedom in the laws of God, but under the laws of man, nothing but exploitation and manipulation. Paul couldn't make any headway preaching to the Judahites, so he concentrated on the Gentiles who had no knowledge of the Torah. They were much more receptive to his cheap grace doctrine, just as many "Christians" are today. Just try telling a Christian that we should follow the Torah and watch how they react! Take cover! It will be as if you are telling them they have to put themselves in shackles and go to prison! The gospels as a whole relate to the life and death of Jesus, but Paul's letters are dominated by emphatic pronouncements against the Law that ensured freedom, independence and equality for all men and women under God. He never builds on the teachings of Jesus or the Apostles, but instead puts himself above them by means of his special "revelation". He calls them "seeming pillars." -Galatians 2:9. It was the rejected Paul's teachings that were accepted and put into a position of dominance after 300 years of persecutions wiped out the early church. Even today the Gentile Christians' descriptions of the early Christian Congregation are dramatically different from the Judahites' version. (Check the "Apocrypha".) The versions of the Gentile Christians were included in the Christian Canon and became official doctrine. The Torah, Feasts, and Commandments were replaced by the laws of laziness and lawlessness. Truly, Satan is misleading the entire inhabited earth. Conclusion Jesus' teachings at the Sermon on the Mount were not new doctrines, they were the commands of the Law Covenant with their deeper, spiritual meaning brought out into the light: 1) The entire Old Covenant Law teaches, as Jesus did, that we are to love Our Father in Heaven by keeping His commandments. 2) The Law came through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus the Messiah. 3) "Not under Law" means being free from the legalistic observance of the Old Covenant with its commands written in stone. It becomes a matter of trust and a Law-driven conscience! Having the Law written on our hearts provides empowerment and motivation from within. 4) Being "under grace" means the renewed covenant with the Law written on our hearts, by the Holy Spirit that provides us with the strength (grace) we need to overcome the law of sin and death. 5) The festivals are important because of God's plan of redemption. Since Ehyeh's plan is not yet complete, we still have much to learn from them. 6) Men have always been saved by grace through faith, but right from the beginning, the error of New Covenant Christians was forcing the Gentiles to follow the letter of the Law in order to earn salvation and justification apart from the work of faith. This was settled by the Apostles in Jerusalem, as noted in Acts chapter one. 7) When Jesus was asked how to obtain eternal life, he didn’t say "believe in me," he said to obey the commandments (by implication, the Law of Moses). This goes beyond the ten commandments written in stone, there were originally over 600 of them covering social, dietary, financial, and everyday living. Jesus said of the Gentiles: "And I have other sheep which are not of this field: I will be their guide in the same way, and they will give ear to my voice, so there will be one flock and one keeper." (John 10:16) Check out the future Temple of the Chieftain in Ezekiel chapters 40-48 and see how the Law will be in effect! It was always Ehyeh’s intention that Gentiles remain ONE with their Jewish brothers, but Satan entered and caused the division. The Spirit wants to bring unity. We must come back to Ehyeh in unity in order to heal the divisions of the last 2,000 years and become one flock under one Shepherd. That is exactly what Ehyeh Elohim has promised will happen during the grand climax of the Christian Age! ________________________________________________________________________________ Related Articles and Books What Are Gentiles Supposed to Do?
