While The Teachings Of Yeshua/Jesus Are The
Truth
The Way Of The Churches Bring Spiritual
Death
Because They Share A Common Doctrinal Flaw
Liberal And Conservative Churches
Are Merely Opposite Polarities Of The Same
Flaw
It is not a sin to have been misled by the
god of this world
Yeshua warned that even the elect would be
seduced
It is only a sin not to seek Truth, when it
has been presented to you
When the leaders of one Church oppose the
leaders of another Church, the equation is
not truth opposing error -- but rather, it
is as one polarity of error opposing it's
opposite polarity of error.
Why? Because it is their flawed
foundation that not only causes all the
opposing opinions that consume and divide
the Christian and ultimately the religious
world, but causes each group to
remain alienated from the Truth.
If, what Paul refers to as the god of this
world, can invoke disputes and factional
polarizations -- to the degree where
fragments of truth are mistaken for the
Whole Truth -- then the Truth has been
overcome by the power of darkness.
Yeshua warned that a House that is divided,
cannot stand -- and Christianity remains a
religion of mass confusion and opposing
opinions, because the god of this world has
prevailed in his endeavor to induce
Christians to ignore the warning of Paul on
the sin of sects (see
No Sects). Yeshua did not
come to promote doctrines of opinion and
belief -- but rather, he came to teach
TheWay that each person must walk, to Know
The Truth and the Kingdom. In
the parable of the good seed and the field,
the enemy sowed tares among the good seed --
and it has been these tares that had divided
believers and alienated them from being
nourished by the Sacred Manna of the Kingdom
that can only be received by those who pick
up their own cross and follow in the
footsteps of Yeshua and TheWay. Fix the flawed foundation, and all the
opposing opinions that divide the Christian
and religious world will very quickly disperse.
And while Christian's claim to rely upon the New
Testament -- it is the very
scriptures they champion that rejects their
doctrines of belief as being turned out of TheWay.
Why do they fail to see this fact?
Because they are blinded by their flawed
foundation which causes them to perceive in
error.
The Flawed
Doctrine Of Perpetual Redemption:
Church doctrine had become strongly
influenced and defined by carnal believers
who were converted in name only from the
paganism of Rome by the Emperor
Constantine. The pagan mindset
appeases a God that it cannot know, because
the thinking of the people are immature and
undeveloped. In the same way that the
Pharisees sacrificed animals for their sin,
the pagan Christians used Jesus as a
sacrifice for their sins. And in the same
way that Jesus condemned all animal
sacrifice -- stating that he was the
one time sacrifice for the sins of the faithful flock
-- the pagans of Rome who called themselves
Christian, turned Jesus into a perpetual
sacrifice for lives lived in continual sin, immorality
and often spiritual depravity.
Contrary to the paganism and idolatry of the
Church, the New Testament openly condemns those who
sin after embracing the teachings of Yeshua
and TheWay -- stating that they crucify the
Messiah/Christ afresh, and they forfeit any
and all hope
of salvation. Thus, in direct
opposition to Church doctrine, Yeshua/Jesus
taught that his followers had to keep the
Commandments and the Law in a spiritual
manner -- rather then the carnal manner of
the Pharisees -- and they had to be more
righteous: "Think
not that I am come to destroy the law, or
the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but
to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till
heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle
shall in no wise pass from the law, till all
be fulfilled. Whosoever therefore shall
break one of these least commandments, and
shall teach men so, he shall be called the
least in the kingdom of heaven: but
whosoever shall do and teach them, the same
shall be called great in the kingdom of
heaven. For I say unto you, That except
your righteousness shall exceed the
righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees,
ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom
of heaven" (Matt 5:17-20 KJV).
To
the man who was healed by Yeshua he warned:
"Afterward Jesus
findeth him in the temple, and said unto
him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no
more, lest a worse thing come unto thee."
(John 5:14 KJV).
And once again this same reality is
portrayed in the words of Paul:
"But if, while we
seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves
also are found sinners, is therefore Christ
the minister of sin? God forbid. For if I
build again the things which I destroyed, I
make myself a transgressor."
(Gal 2:17-18 KJV).
These words mean absolutely nothing to
the leaders of the Churches, because to them
religion is a commercial business which they
peddle -- and for them to remain in
business, the prevailing spiritual sickness
must remain fully in effect.
While ignorance and spiritual
disenfranchisement is the cause of the
disease, sin is the outward effect of the
spiritual sickness that Jesus came to
cure. The disciple who was healed of this
congenital sickness, by virtue of the blood
of the Lamb, was granted the Power to be
healed from this sickness. Once
cured he did not remain sick -- but was
healed from the malady that was the cause of
his ignorance, suffering and spiritual
disenfranchisement. The Church,
on the other hand, thrives by promoting the
disease that afflicts mankind -- and it is
necessary to keep the people ignorant for
the prodigal sons and daughters to remain
shackled to lives of suffering in this, the
"far country"
where they are bound to the
"outer darkness"
of consciousness, mind and being.
As the Gospel
became corrupted by the pagans who called
themselves Christian, the degeneracy of the
Church was opposed by men such as
Pelagius who wrote that:
“Man is able, if he
likes, to live without sin and keep the
commandments of God, in as much as God gives
him this ability”. It is
important to recognize that Pelagius did not
say that man has this inherent ability --
but rather, God grants him this ability --
but this ability can only be bestowed upon
those disciples who are truly faithful to
the very spiritual essence of the teachings
of Jesus and TheWay. Pelagius vehemently
opposed the corruption of the clergy and
priests of the Roman Church -- the idolatry
of the Pagan Christians -- and this
statement was written against the dreadful
moral standards of the church which had
thoroughly embraced the doctrine of St.
Augustine that all events of life was
totally controlled by Divine Providence.
To the reasoning of Augustine, it made no difference if man committed
sin, because he did not possess freewill.
Under the doctrine of predestination
promoted by Augustine, man could do nothing
on his own -- and whether he was saved or
not, was predestined from before the world
was created. This doctrine was of course
used by the Roman Church because it
conveniently established the Church in the
role of the singular determining factor in
man’s search for salvation. Being a member
of the church was the only qualifier that
saved mankind -- and since man was morally
challenged because of the Original Sin of
Adam and Eve, it did not matter how defiled
or sinful a life he lived. From a
doctrinal perspective, all of mankind was
morally challenged -- man was a congenital
sinner, and could do nothing
on his own -- and since no deeds either good
or bad could save him -- it was doctrinally
reasoned that mankind could therefore live
in accordance with any moral standard he
desired, so long as he lived under the
protective umbrella of the Roman Church.
That Christians are in fact required to test
what they believe is seen in the commandment
of the Apostle to
“prove and test all things” --
and it is the claim of the original
teachings of Jesus that we have this ability
-- not by virtue of our own powers of carnal
reasoning, but because God has given us the
ability to carry out the commandment of the
Apostle. But Christians remain
shackled to ignorance, because they choose
to blindly believe in the carnal doctrines
of men. The very name Christian conveys a
person who is of an Anointed and Illumined
mind and understanding -- a state of mind
that our modern-day faith-based doctrines
represent only a very incomplete
understanding of the true depth of the
original Gospel message.
In the process of what is known as reverse
osmosis, man has the power to purify
contaminated water -- and he does so through
the process of removing the impurities that
became infused into the water as it flowed
from its source to the point where he is
able to receive it. In the case of what we
believe today, the filter that we use to
purify what we have received is knowledge --
and that knowledge can only be realized when
it is built upon the same foundation as that
which was found at the waters source.
History easily demonstrates that under the
rule of Roman Authority, the church fell
into such carnal degeneracy that it embraced
every sort of political and materialistic
corruption -- a corruption that brought the
level of the church so low, that it even
ordained sexual orgies for the priests.
To further
“illustrate the condition and character of
the times”, Gibbon writes in the
Decline And Fall of the Roman Empire, that
“Simony”,
or the buying and selling of ecclesiastic
positions within the church,
“was not unknown in
those times; and the clergy sometimes bought
what they intended to sell. It appears that
the bishopric of Carthage was purchased by a
wealthy matron, named Lucilla, for her
servant Majorinus”. Regarding
the wholesale immorality and depravity of
the churches, Gibbon writes that:
“Fraud, envy, and
malice prevailed in every congregation. The
presbyters aspired to the episcopal office,
which every day became an object more worthy
of their ambitions”.
This morally bankrupt lifestyle was
justified under the Augustinian doctrine
that, by nature, man is incapable of doing
good, and he is saved by virtue of his
membership in the church. Those
who opposed the Pagan Church of Rome, were
condemned as heretics -- hunted down and
murdered (see
The Death Of The Teachings Of Jesus).
Because Constantine was not only carnal, but
in every way a ruthless conscienceless
despot who embraced evil in everything he
did, the Church that he formed was born in
the image of its creator. The question
that every believer must ask today is how
corrupted and contaminated has the message
of Christ become after it had been placed in
the hands of mankind? In a letter to Pope
Leo X on September 6th, 1520, Martin Luther
wrote of the Christianity of his day, that
the church, “…once
the holiest of all, has become the most
licentious den of thieves, the most
shameless of all brothels, the kingdom of
sin, death, and hell. It is so bad that even
Antichrist himself, if he should come, could
think of nothing to add to its wickedness”
(Quoted in: The Great Thoughts; compiled by
George Seldes).
That many Christians who remained carnal in
their understanding twisted the doctrine of
faith over the rituals of the Law which Paul
promoted among the Gentiles, is readily seen
in the statement of Peter where it is
written:
"Nevertheless we, according to His promise,
look for new heavens and a new earth in
which righteousness dwells. Therefore,
beloved, looking forward to these things, be
diligent to be found by Him in peace,
without spot and blameless; and account
that the longsuffering of our Lord is
salvation -- as also our beloved brother
Paul, according to the wisdom given to him,
has written to you, as also in all his
epistles, speaking in them of these things,
in which are some things hard to understand,
which untaught and unstable people twist to
their own destruction, as they do also the
rest of the Scriptures. You therefore,
beloved, since you know this beforehand,
beware lest you also fall from your own
steadfastness, being led away with the error
of the wicked; but grow in the grace and
knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus
Christ. To Him be the glory both now and
forever. Amen" (2 Pet 3:13-18
NKJ).
If all that was necessary was to call upon
the name of Jesus and be saved, then Peter
never would have made notice that
"...as also in all
his epistles, speaking in them of these
things, in which are some things hard to
understand, which untaught and unstable
people twist to their own destruction, as
they do also the rest of the Scriptures."
If all that was necessary was to
have faith and call upon the name of the
Lord -- saying a prayer accepting Jesus as
the believers personal Lord and Savior --
then Peter never would have stated that many
of the believers who were reading Paul's
Epistles were ignorant of the essence of the
teachings of Yeshua who were
"...untaught and
unstable people twist to their own
destruction, as they do also the rest of the
Scriptures."
It is their flawed foundational doctrines of
belief that not only cause all the opposing
opinions that consume and divide the
Christian and ultimately the religious
world, but causes each group to remain
alienated from the Truth. Fix the
foundation and restore Wholeness, and the
Living Vine which the Church once was, will
again be able to supply the spiritual manna
that will heal the Nations. Yet, if that
power that Paul refers to as the god of this
world, can continue to invoke disputes and
factional polarizations -- seducing people
into lives of blind belief in the carnal
doctrines or men -- to the degree
where fragments of truth are mistaken for
the Whole Truth -- then the Truth as it is
manifest in this world will continue to be
overcome by the power of darkness. Yeshua
warned that a House that is divided, cannot
stand -- and Christianity remains a religion
of mass confusion and opposing opinions,
because the god of this world has prevailed
in his endeavor to induce Christians to
ignore the warning of Paul on the sin of
sects (see
No Sects). Yeshua did not come to
promote doctrines of opinion and belief --
but rather, he came to teach TheWay that
each person must live, think and walk in
this life, to Know The Truth and manifest
the Kingdom within them. In the parable of
the good seed and the field, the enemy sowed
tares among the good seed -- and it has been
these tares that has divided believers and
alienated them from being nourished by the
Sacred Manna of the Kingdom that can only be
received by those who pick up their own
cross and follow in the footsteps of Yeshua
and TheWay. Fix the flawed foundation --
restore Wholeness -- and all the opposing
opinions will disperse. And while
Christian's claim to rely upon the New
Testament -- it is the very scriptures they
champion that rejects their doctrines of
belief as being turned out of TheWay. Why
do they fail to see this fact? Because
they are blinded by their flawed foundation
which causes them to perceive in error.
Truth can only be revealed and received in
accord with the disciples sincere
willingness to live the Truth that has been
imparted to them from the Holy Spirit in
word, thought, desire and deed.
In refusing to live in the Life and Light of
TheWay, the Christian world has been
conquered, and they dwell in the abyss of
darkness and confusion. But what
is truly pitiful and sad, is the fact that
the people choose lives of suffering and
ignorance, when it is within their power to
Know the Truth that breaks the shackles of
the god of this world.
The twisting of the scriptures by a vast
multitude in the modern Church is
demonstrated in a recent Christian's
condemnation of someone in a forum who used
the name Eternal Seeker -- and the Christian
bases his allegations of heresy, on the
belief that Eternal Seeker is in error.
Why? Why was the person using the name
Eternal Seeker condemned by the Christian?
Because from his doctrinal Church
perspective, Christians dwell under the
deceptive belief that they have found Jesus --
and their belief is all that is required. So from
his very limited reasoning, the Christian
proclaims: What is there to seek? You
simply believe, and that is the end of it.
The fact that a man would call himself the
Eternal Seeker, in the limited understanding
of the Christian, proves to him that such a
man is lost and of Satan. Yet, the Bible
states that just the opposite is true -- and
it is in fact this very mindset that keeps
Christians spiritually ignorant, and
destroys even their opportunity to become a
Disciple of Yeshua and TheWay. Speaking of
the false shepherds who had been twisting
both the Epistles of Paul and the scriptures
to their own destruction, Peter writes:
"These men are springs without water and
mists driven by a storm. Blackest darkness
is reserved for them. For they mouth empty,
boastful words and, by appealing to the
lustful desires of sinful human nature, they
entice people who are just escaping from
those who live in error. They promise them
freedom, while they themselves are slaves of
depravity -- for a man is a slave to
whatever has mastered him"
(2 Pet 2:17-19 NIV).
When Peter makes reference to the
"...people who are just escaping from
those who live in error",
he is speaking of those who are trying to escape the
clutches of the culture of this world,
by becoming what Paul called
"babes in Christ". And yet, what Peter is stating is the
fact that the very doctrines of the false
shepherds who they are following, are conveying to these
entry-level believers that they have
found freedom in the Gospel, when in fact they have
only just begun their walk in TheWay. The depravity that Peter speaks of is in
fact parallel to the warning in the
Epistle of James that
"faith
without works is dead"
-- i.e., without the works of the
spirit,
"...they themselves are
slaves of depravity -- for a man is a
slave to whatever has mastered him".
We must ask: Why would the
counterfeit clergy-shepherds promise the
people
"freedom"
in the Gospel and the Good News -- and
yet, Peter warns that they
"...themselves are slaves of
depravity"???
Because these shepherds of the simple
faith do not understand the words that
Yeshua said to the man who he had
healed:
"Behold, thou art made whole:
sin no more, lest a worse thing come
unto thee" (John
5:14 KJV). Having themselves never been
"WHOLE" -- or even remotely understand
the reality of Wholeness -- the
shepherds of the simple faith attempt to
use Jesus as a sacrifice to live in a
state of perpetual sin. And thus, these
blind guides are not only
disenfranchised from the very spiritual
essence of the teachings of Yeshua and TheWay, but they have themselves never
experienced Wholeness -- or even
understand the reality that is conveyed
in these words.
Perhaps the key to understanding the
false shepherds of the Church is found
in the words:
"Do not think that I came to
destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did
not come to destroy but to fulfill. For
assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and
earth pass away, one jot or one tittle
will by no means pass from the law till
all is fulfilled. Whoever therefore
breaks one of the least of these
commandments, and teaches men so, shall
be called least in the kingdom of
heaven; but whoever does and teaches
them, he shall be called great in the
kingdom of heaven. For I say to you,
that unless your righteousness exceeds
the righteousness of the scribes and
Pharisees, you will by no means enter
the kingdom of heaven"
(Matt 5:17-20 NKJ). Thus, while Yeshua
and his Ebionite (
http://Ebionite.com ) disciples
condemned the rituals and traditions of
the Pharisees, they openly acknowledged
the Royal Law that remains completely in
effect and binding upon all people's of
the earth.
Peter's next statement is not
only in direct opposition -- and
runs contrary to what is preached in
the Churches today -- but should
literally haunt every person who
calls themselves a Christian
believer:
"If they have escaped
the corruption of the world by
knowing our Lord and Savior Jesus
Christ and are again entangled in it
and overcome, they are worse off at
the end than they were at the
beginning. It would have been better
for them not to have known the way
of righteousness, than to have known
it and then to turn their backs on
the sacred command that was passed
on to them. Of them the proverbs are
true: A dog returns to its vomit,
and, A sow that is washed goes back
to her wallowing in the mud"
(2 Pet 2:20-22 NIV)
Where the modern Church promotes
the doctrine that they are saved by
Grace regardless of the manner they
live their lives -- and they have
made Jesus into a Pagan idolatrous
sacrifice as a cloak for immorality
and spiritual depravity -- Peter not only
states that this doctrine is in
grave error, but correctly states
that:
"It would have been better
for them not to have known the way
of righteousness, than to have known
it and then to turn their backs on
the sacred command that was passed
on to them."
Every Christian should ask
themselves:
How Can This Be???
Christians promote the doctrine that
only those who believe can be saved
-- and here Peter is stating the
opposite is true, and that those
people who claim to believe, may be
worse off after they have
come to believe, than before they
began to believe. The shepherds and
blind guides that Peter is making
reference to, are those who preach
the modern doctrine of perpetual sin
that is promoted in churches today
-- i.e.,
"This is especially true
of those who follow the corrupt
desire of the sinful nature..."
(2 Peter 2:10 NIV). Because these
false shepherds fail to understand
the reality of what Yeshua meant
when he used the terms Whole, and
Complete, they preach the
"...promise [of] freedom [in
their doctrine of salvation by faith
and grace alone], while they
themselves are slaves of depravity."
In what can only be in total
opposition to what Christians today
believe, Peter states that it would
have been better for the entry-level
believers to have never heard of the
Good News of the Gospel message, than to have heard, and then
fall prey to the false shepherds who
promise freedom but blindly lead the
believers into the proverbial ditch. And there is simply no means for the
modern Christian who believes the
doctrines of the Church, to even
begin to understand what Peter is
making reference to. Why? Because
what is preached in the Churches
today, has relatively little in
common with what Yeshua actually
taught. And in truth, modern
Christian doctrine is founded upon
the religious principles of Pagan
Rome (see
The Christian Judas),
than what Yeshua actually taught. How can this be? A person will ask?
Quite contrary to modern Christian
doctrine where all believers are
saved, it is very clearly
demonstrated in the scriptures that
believers who do not live in
accordance with the Commandments of
the Lord will be punished even more
severely than the non-believer. This
truth is demonstrated in the words:
“That servant who knows his master's
will and does not get ready or does
not do what his master wants will be
beaten with many blows. But the one
who does not know and does things
deserving punishment will be beaten
with few blows. From everyone who
has been given much, much will be
demanded; and from the one who has
been entrusted with much, much more
will be asked” (Luke 12:47-48 NIV). What
Yeshua is
stating to us is that believer’s who
do not fulfill the Commandments,
will be punished more severely, than those who
do not know the will of God.
That many Christians who remained
carnal in their understanding
twisted the doctrine of faith over
the rituals of the Law which Paul
promoted among the Gentiles -- as
they continue to do today -- is
readily seen in the statement of
Peter where it is written:
"Nevertheless we, according to His
promise, look for new heavens and a
new earth in which righteousness
dwells. Therefore, beloved,
looking forward to these things, be
diligent to be found by Him in
peace, without spot and blameless;
and account that the longsuffering
of our Lord is salvation-- as also
our beloved brother Paul, according
to the wisdom given to him, has
written to you, as also in all
his epistles, speaking in them of
these things, in which are some
things hard to understand, which
untaught and unstable people twist
to their own destruction, as they do
also the rest of the Scriptures.
You therefore, beloved, since you
know this beforehand, beware lest
you also fall from your own
steadfastness, being led away with
the error of the wicked; but
grow in the grace and knowledge of
our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To
Him be the glory both now and
forever. Amen" (2 Pet
3:13-18 NKJ).
If all that was necessary was to
call upon the name of Jesus and be
saved, then Peter never would have
made notice that
"...as also
in all his epistles, speaking in
them of these things, in which are
some things hard to understand,
which untaught and unstable people
twist to their own destruction, as
they do also the rest of the
Scriptures."
If all that was necessary was to
have faith and call upon the name of
the Lord -- saying a prayer
accepting Jesus as the believer's
personal Lord and Savior -- then
Peter never would have stated that
many of the believers who were
reading Paul's Epistles were
ignorant of the essence of the
teachings of Yeshua who were
"...untaught and unstable people
twist to their own destruction, as
they do also the rest of the
Scriptures."
Proof of the above -- and proof
that when Paul was speaking of
faith, he was not speaking of a
faith that permits the believer to
continue to sin after embracing the
Gospel -- is confirmed in the words
in the Epistle to the Hebrews where
it is warned that if a believer sins
willfully after becoming a believer,
that they have crucified the Christ
afresh, and no sacrifice
(Jesus/Grace) can have any effect on
their destiny of judgment as an
apostate to the teachings of Yeshua
and TheWay:
"For it is impossible to
restore again to repentance those
who have once been enlightened, who
have tasted the heavenly gift, and
have become partakers of the Holy
Spirit, and have tasted the goodness
of the word of God and the powers of
the age to come, if they then commit
apostasy, since they crucify the Son
of God on their own account and hold
him up to contempt.. For if we sin
deliberately after receiving the
knowledge of the truth, there no
longer remains a sacrifice for sins,
but a fearful prospect of judgment,
and a fury of fire which will
consume the adversaries."
(Heb 6:4-6;10:26-27
RSV).
Christian Apostasy
The Legacy of Martin Luther
Christians Hold Yeshua In Contempt:
What is Paul, the alleged author of
the Epistle to the Hebrews, saying
in these important words?
Very clearly, he warns that
repentance from a life of sin is a
one time thing -- reserved for those
who are entry-level Christians --
because if after repenting the
believer
"...sins
deliberately after receiving the
knowledge of the truth, there no
longer remains a sacrifice for sins,
but a fearful prospect of judgment,
and a fury of fire which will
consume the adversaries."
Why? Because a believer
who willfully sins after repentance
and coming to the knowledge of
TheWay, is a counterfeit believer
who is an
"apostate... who crucifies the Son
of God afresh -- holding him up to
contempt."
Martin Luther who is the
father of the modern Church
doctrine that believers are
saved solely by faith
irrespective of their actions
and the way they live their
lives,
recognized that he couldn't
explain the above words of Paul
that very clearly opposed
everything that Luther believed
to be true, and he therefore
rejected the Epistle of the
Hebrews -- as he did also with
over half of the New Testament.
But did Luther understand the
spiritual essence of the
teachings of Yeshua and TheWay
in their original form?
In view of the fact that Luther
could not come to terms with
this and many other scriptural
statements that he rejected, it
is easy to recognize that
because Luther was himself a
priest in the spiritually
disenfranchised Church of Rome,
that Luther did not at all
understand the very First
Principles of the Spiritual
Gospel that was taught by Yeshua
and his Ebionite Disciples of
TheWay. While the
above words of Paul are
impossible to understand from a
modern Christian perspective,
they remain totally faithful to
the foundational teachings that
the modern Christian has been
alienated from due to the
limitations of manmade Church
doctrine.
Can Christians even hear and
acknowledge the Truth? How
can I even begin to portray reality
to those whom Paul states are
apostates to the teachings of
Yeshua and TheWay? Holding
him in absolute contempt?
Paul states that those who
willfully sin after repentance
are in fact crucifying the Son
of God afresh -- which means
that their leaders in the faith
are Judas' who betray
Messiah/Christ.
And in teaching believers that
they are saved by their faith
regardless of the mindset or the
lifestyle they embrace --
regardless of their actions and
deeds -- the reality is that the
believers of the simple faith
are following the least, from
the perspective of the Kingdom
-- i.e.,
"...Whoever therefore
breaks one of the least of these
commandments, and teaches men
so, shall be called least in the
kingdom of heaven; but whoever
does and teaches them, he shall
be called great in the kingdom
of heaven. For I say to you,
that unless your righteousness
exceeds the righteousness of the
scribes and Pharisees, you will
by no means enter the kingdom of
heaven"
(Matt 5:17-20 NKJ).
Thus, Paul writes of these
counterfeit clergy
who
"...promise them
freedom"
in their idolatry of
using Yeshua/Jesus as a license
to continue to sin, that they
are Apostates to the Kingdom.
The faith of Paul in no manner
promoted a coverture of sin in
the manner that Christians
preach today -- and this is
especially seen in Paul's
proclamation:
"What
shall we say then? Shall we
continue in sin that grace may
abound? Certainly not! How shall
we who died to sin live any
longer in it? …knowing this,
that our old man was crucified
with Him, that the body of sin
might be done away with, that we
should no longer be slaves of
sin… Therefore do not let sin
reign in your mortal body, that
you should obey it in its lusts.
And do not present your members
as instruments of
unrighteousness to sin, but
present yourselves to God as
being alive from the dead, and
your members as instruments of
righteousness to God. For sin
shall not have dominion over
you, for you are not under law
but under grace. What then?
Shall we sin because we are not
under law but under grace?
Certainly not! Do you not know
that to whom you present
yourselves slaves to obey, you
are that one's slaves whom you
obey, whether of sin leading to
death, or of obedience leading
to righteousness?”
(Rom 6:1-16 NKJ).
Thus, it is important to see
that Paul portrayed those who
lived in sin as being dead --
i.e., as when Yeshua said:
"Follow
me; and let the dead bury their
dead" (Matt
8:22 KJV). And this is
why the prodigal son who was
lost in the
"far
country", was
portrayed as being dead.
From a biblical perspective,
once a disciple of the Lord has
been cleansed and made whole,
they are to
“sin no
more” (John 5:14;
8:11) -- and,
“Whoever abides in Him does not
sin. Whoever sins has neither
seen Him nor known Him”
(1 Jn 3:6 NKJ).
In surviving excerpts of what
has been historically known as
the Gospel According to the
Hebrews, which was reported to
be the
"original
version of Matthew"
that was composed in the Hebrew
language, of which our present
day gospel is a Greek
translation of, it was written:
"If ye be
in my bosom and do not the will
of my Father which is in heaven,
out of my bosom will I cast you
away". In the late nineteenth century a
library of scriptures was
uncovered which is today known
as the Oxyrhynchus Papyri
-- wherein this verse is found
reading:
"Though ye
be gathered together with me in
my bosom, if ye do not my
commandants, I will cast you
forth".
And to the horror of modern
Christians who reject the Gospel
of the Nazirenes (see http://GospelOfTheNazirenes.org
) and all its strange readings,
we once again find this same
verse: And I say to you,
"Though you be gathered
together in my bosom, if you
keep not my commandments I will
cast you forth. For if you keep
not the lesser mysteries, who
shall give you the greater."
This same
verse of scripture is quoted in
what is historically known as
the 2nd Epistle of Clement,
where it is written:
"Let
us, then, not only call Him
Lord, for that will not save us.
For He saith, 'Not every one
that saith to me, Lord, Lord,
shall be saved, but he that
worketh righteousness' …For this
reason… the Lord hath said,
'Even though ye were gathered
together to me in my very bosom,
yet if ye were not to keep my
commandments, I would cast you
off, and say unto you, Depart
from me; I know you not whence
ye are, ye workers of iniquity’"
(see
http://BibleCorruption.com
). And this same teaching is
also confirmed in an alternate
ending of the Gospel of Mark
which is quoted on the Ebionite
web site (
http://Ebionite.com ):
"This Age of lawlessness and
unbelieving lies under the sway
of Satan,
who
will not allow what lies under
the unclean spirits to
understand the truth and power
of God;
therefore, they said to Christ,
reveal your righteousness now.
Christ answered them, The term
of years for Satan's power has
now expired, but other terrors
are at hand. I was delivered to
death on behalf of sinners,
that they might return to the
truth and sin no more,
that they might inherit that
glory of righteousness which is
spiritual and imperishable in
heaven" (Moffatt,
quoting Gospel Of Mark in Codex
W - Also quoted by St. Jerome as
being the authentic ending of
the Gospel of Mark).
And in perfect agreement with
this alternate ending to the
Gospel of Mark, John writes:
"Whoever abides in Him does not
sin. Whoever sins has neither
seen Him nor known Him. Little
children, let no one deceive
you. He who practices
righteousness is righteous, just
as He is righteous. He who sins
is of the devil, for the devil
has sinned from the beginning.
For this purpose the Son of God
was manifested, that He might
destroy the works of the devil.
Whoever has been born of God
does not sin, for His seed
remains in him; and he cannot
sin, because he has been born of
God. In this the children of
God and the children of the
devil are manifest: Whoever does
not practice righteousness is
not of God, nor is he who does
not love his brother."
(I Jn
3:6-10 NKJ)
To the man who was healed by
Yeshua he warned:
"Afterward Jesus findeth him in
the temple, and said unto him,
Behold, thou art made whole: sin
no more, lest a worse thing come
unto thee."
(John 5:14 KJV).
And once again this same reality
is portrayed in the words of
Paul:
"But
if, while we seek to be
justified by Christ, we
ourselves also are found
sinners, is therefore Christ the
minister of sin? God forbid. For
if I build again the things
which I destroyed, I make myself
a transgressor."
(Gal 2:17-18 KJV).
And in total
agreement with Paul, Peter warns
that the the believers who
continue to sin
"...are worse off at
the end than they were at the
beginning. It would have been
better for them not to have
known the way of righteousness,
than to have known it and then
to turn their backs on the
sacred command that was passed
on to them. Of them the proverbs
are true: A dog returns to its
vomit, and, A sow that is washed
goes back to her wallowing in
the mud"
-- which is also expressed in
the words:
"...For if we sin
deliberately after receiving the
knowledge of the truth, there no
longer remains a sacrifice for
sins, but a fearful prospect of
judgment, and a fury of fire
which will consume the
adversaries."
And this reality that the people
of the Churches fail to
comprehend, is further confirmed
in Paul's letter to the
Corinthians:
"Therefore whoever eats
this bread or drinks this cup of
the Lord in an unworthy manner
will be guilty of the body and
blood of the Lord. But let a man
examine himself, and so let him
eat of the bread and drink of
the cup. For he who eats and
drinks in an unworthy manner
eats and drinks judgment to
himself, not discerning the
Lord's body. For this reason
many are weak and sick among
you, and many sleep"
(1 Cor
11:27-30 NKJ).
Pre-Nicene Christianity:
While the above New Covenant
concepts which on the surface
appear to conflict with the
doctrines of the Church, unless
the believer comes to understand
that modern Christianity has
little in common with the
original teachings of Jesus and
TheWay, then they are destined
to remain spiritually
flat-lined. The
original Ebionite Nazirene
disciples of Jesus did not at
all believe that he was God --
but rather, the first of the
prodigal sons to so fulfill the
Law within himself, that he
became One with the indwelling
Logos/Son of God.
It can easily be proven that the
original scriptures portrayed
Jesus as becoming the Anointed
(Messiah/Christ) at his baptism
in the Jordan -- wherein, prior
to being edited to support the
Pagan doctrines of Rome (see
http://BibleCorruption.com
), the words spoken to Jesus by
the Father was:
"Thou
art my Son, this day have I
begotten thee"
(see
http://TheTenWords.com ).
And this original statement is
further confirmed in both the
Book of Acts, as well as the
Epistle to the Hebrews --
wherein, with
regard to the passage at Hebrews
1:5, The Adam Clark Commentary
writes:
"This most
important use of this saying has
passed unnoticed by almost every
Christian writer which I have
seen; and yet it lies here at
the foundation of all the
apostle's proofs. If Jesus was
not thus the Son of God, the
whole Christian system is vain
and baseless..."
And in the same way
that Christians ignore this
important foundational teaching,
they continue to ignore the
above warnings that portray
those who continue to sin after
coming to the knowledge of
TheWay, as apostates who not
only have no hope of salvation,
but whose end is even worse than
the unbelievers.
Moreover, the above original
biblical baptism verse confirms
that the original Ebionite
Nazirenes were correct, and
faithful to the teachings of
Jesus, while the later doctrines
of the Church were founded in
the Paganism of Rome.
Which is why it was openly
stated:
“Biblical scholars were not
disturbed by what they found in
the Dead Sea Scrolls because
they had known all along that
the origin of Christianity was
not what was commonly supposed
to have been”
(A. Powell Davies
quoted by Millar Burrows in More
Light on the Dead Sea Scrolls).
If we pose the question as to
just how different the
pre-Nicene Church was from the
later Church of the Roman
Emperor Constantine?
The answer is, profoundly
different! In the
second century the Church was
accused of being a
"secret
system" -- teaching
the multitudes a totally
different doctrine than the
inner spiritual core (see
The Secret Doctrine).
And the official answer of the
Church was that:
“For
there are in the divinity of the
Word some helps towards the cure
of those who are sick”,
meaning the sinners who had
yet to submit themselves to the
healing of the Living Word which
enabled them to live a sinless
Consecrated Life.
And while the doctrines of
belief that are embraced by this
outer core of believers are
noted, their doctrines are
portrayed as being
“preached in the Churches… for
the simpleminded and for the
ears of the common crowd who are
led on to live better lives by
their belief.”
How closely aligned the
pre-Nicene Church was with the
original Ebionite Nazirene
teachings
in the 2nd and 3rd
century, can be demonstrated by
quoting the book Gnosticism
and Early Christianity by
R.M. Grant where he writes:
“What
do we know about Roman
Christianity in Marcion’s time?
Admittedly the evidence is
rather poor in quantity. But
most of it points toward the
presence of a strongly Jewish
Christianity in the Roman
church... the basic concern...
is with ethics, Jewish ethics…
indeed the moral teaching.. is
so Jewish, and so similar to
that of some of the Dead Sea
Scrolls, that a modern scholar
has argued that… [it] cannot
possibly represent the
mainstream of Roman Christianity
in his time. Moreover, his
theology, such as it is, is
thoroughly Jewish… Presumably
the coming of the Spirit made
Jesus become Jesus Christ.”
And this fact is further
demonstrated by quoting the most
used and popular scripture in
the early Gentile Church, which
was known as the Shepherd of
Hermas. Quoting the article:
In the
Introduction of the
early Christian writing
known as the Shepherd of
Hermas, it is written:
“The Pastor of Hermas was
one of the most popular
books, if not the most
popular book, in the
Christian Church during the
second, third, and fourth
centuries..."
A. D. Howell-Smith writes
concerning the Shepherd of
Hermas (Jesus Not a Myth,
pp.120-121): "The
Shepherd speaks of a Son of
God;
but this Son of God is
distinguished from Jesus.
'That Holy Spirit which was
created first of all, God
placed in a body, in which
it should dwell, in a chosen
body, as it pleased him.'
This is Martini's
translation. F. C. Conybeare
renders the passage: 'God
made His Holy Spirit, which
pre-existed and created all
creation, to enter and dwell
in the flesh which He
approved.' In this text the
Holy Spirit appears to be a
divine substance. But we
must not suspect
Patripassionism.
The
'flesh' is spoken of as a
person who 'walked as
pleased God, because it was
not polluted on earth.'
'God, therefore, took into
counsel the Son and the
angels in their glory, to
the end that this flesh
might furnish, as it were, a
place of tabernacling (for
the Spirit), and might not
seem to have lost the reward
of its service. For all
flesh shall receive the
reward which shall be found
without stain or spot, and
in it the Holy Spirit shall
have its home.'
This
passage appears to make the
'tabernacling' of the Holy
Spirit in Jesus a reward for
the purity of his life.
Jesus then becomes divine
through the power of God,
after consultation with the
Son of God, who elsewhere in
The Shepherd is identified
with the Holy Spirit. 'The
most venerable angel,' 'the
glorious angel,' 'the holy
angel' are titles that
Hermas gives to Jesus in his
allegory; but it is
understood that the angelic
status of Jesus is not his
by nature. His labours on
earth to save and to cleanse
have gained him a
co-inheritance with the Holy
Spirit, God's primary Son,
so that Jesus now is the
second Son of God."
Notice the points in RED.
The modern Church can't at
all come to terms with the
reality that Jesus was not
God -- or the manifestation
of the Son of God -- but the man
Jesus became
One with the Son of God at
his baptism in the Jordan -- i.e.,
"...but
this Son of God is
distinguished from Jesus".
One becomes in unity with
the Son of God, through the
purity of their life --
i.e.,
"...The
'flesh' is spoken of as a
person who 'walked as
pleased God, because it was
not polluted on earth.'"
And the most important is
seen in the fact that Jesus
became the Messiah/Christ,
by walking in TheWay --
i.e.,
"...This
passage appears to make the
'tabernacling' of the Holy
Spirit in Jesus a reward for
the purity of his life."
And
in ignoring what I have portrayed as
The
Ten Words, the
Christian Church is in
denial of the Truth -- and
this is their folly that has brought
about their continued decline.
What does this important
scripture that was portrayed as
the most popular among the early
Gentiles say, that caused it to
be rejected by the later
post-Nicene Roman Pagan Church?
It confirms the above biblical
warnings that are ignored by the
modern Church:
"But
after they entered in together,
and became one body, some of
them defiled themselves, and
were cast out from the society
of the righteous, and became
again such as they were before,
or rather even worse. `How,
Sir,' say I, `did
they become worse, after they
had fully known God?' `He
that knoweth not God,' saith he,
`and committeth wickedness, hath
a certain punishment for his
wickedness; but
he that knoweth God fully ought
not any longer to commit
wickedness, but to do good. If
then he that ought to do good
committeth wickedness, does he
not seem to do greater
wickedness than the man that
knoweth not God? Therefore
they that have not known God,
and commit wickedness, are
condemned to death; but
they that have known God and
seen His mighty works, and yet
commit wickedness, shall receive
a double punishment, and shall
die eternally."
This teaching and concept simply
has no place in the Church today
-- where those who call
themselves Christians, use the
Jesus-god of Constantine, as a
perpetual pagan sacrifice that
licenses their lives of sin.
In the words of Paul:
"Therefore whoever eats
this bread or drinks this cup of
the Lord in an unworthy manner
will be guilty of the body and
blood of the Lord. But let a man
examine himself, and so let him
eat of the bread and drink of
the cup. For he who eats and
drinks in an unworthy manner
eats and drinks judgment to
himself, not discerning the
Lord's body. For this reason
many are weak and sick among
you, and many sleep"
(1 Cor
11:27-30 NKJ).
As demonstrated in the many
of the above biblical verses that Christian
perpetually ignore, Paul
goes as far as to say that if a
Christian knowingly sins after
coming to the knowledge of the
Truth, that there is no more
sacrifice for him -- only the
greater damnation and judgment
-- i.e.,
"For it is impossible
to restore again to repentance
those who have once been
enlightened, who have tasted the
heavenly gift, and have become
partakers of the Holy Spirit,
and have tasted the goodness of
the word of God and the powers
of the age to come, if they then
commit apostasy, since they
crucify the Son of God on their
own account and hold him up to
contempt.. For if we sin
deliberately after receiving the
knowledge of the truth, there no
longer remains a sacrifice for
sins, but a fearful prospect of
judgment, and a fury of fire
which will consume the
adversaries."
(Heb 6:4-6;10:26-27
RSV).
When Yeshua overcame the Laws,
what he became was the author of
salvation by enabling the lost
prodigal sons and daughters to
enter through the inner Gate,
into the Kingdom of God (
http://GateOfEden.com ).
This is presented in the
Shepherd of Hermas in the words:
"`But the gate, why is
it recent, Sir?' say I. `Because,'
saith he, `He was made manifest in
the last days of the consummation;
therefore the gate was made recent,
that they which are to be saved may
enter through it into the kingdom of
God."
Those who fail to follow in
TheWay, and enter into Life
while still in the body, are
portrayed at the end of the
Revelation as such:
"Blessed are those who do His
commandments, that they may have
the right to the tree of life,
and may enter through the gates
into the city. But outside are
dogs and sorcerers and sexually
immoral and murderers and
idolaters, and whoever loves and
practices a lie"
(Rev 22:14-15 NKJ).Those
outside, are those who dwell in
the "outer darkness" of mind and
being (
http://DivineStrategery.com#OuterDarkness
) -- and remain imprisoned by
what is portrayed as the Citizen
of the Far Country in the
parable of the prodigal son, or
what Paul described as the god of this world.
What is the source of the modern
day Christian Apostasy? While it was
initiated by a misunderstanding of
Paul's faith over the rituals of the
Law as practiced by the Pharisees, in many
respects the doctrines which were
born under the umbrella of
Protestantism took the doctrine of
faith irrespective of one's actions
to a new level of ungodliness --
which were in fact reactionary
doctrines to the corruption of the
Church of Rome. But that
the Church would be ruled over by
the AntiChrist was predicted in the
Bible (see
The Church Of The AntiChrist). By embracing the
doctrine of faith regardless of
actions which was instituted by
Martin Luther, the Christians have
totally failed to maintain the
necessary biblical standards which
are required. And while Christians
are critical of the thinking and
lifestyle of others, Christians
continue to promote the doctrines of
Martin Luther -- a Roman priest who
embraced the Augustinian doctrine of
Original Sin who failed to understand the doctrine of
Divine Providence, and Luther went
as far as to actually promote a
life of sin as evidence of faith. Luther rejected over half of the New
Testament -- and in total opposition
to the teachings of Yeshua, Martin
Luther actually promoted sin as
proof of salvation. In Luther's own
words:
"Be a sinner, and let
your sins be strong, but let your
trust in Christ be stronger, and
rejoice in Christ who is the victor
over sin, death, and the world. We
will commit sins while we are here,
for this life is not a place where
justice resides... No sin can
separate us from Him, even if we
were to kill or commit adultery
thousands of times each day."
('Let Your Sins Be Strong, from 'The
Wittenberg Project;' 'The Wartburg
Segment', translated by Erika
Flores, from Dr. Martin Luther's
Saemmtliche Schriften, Letter No.
99, 1 Aug. 1521.) Luther believed
that man is a congenital sinner
because of the Original Sin of Adam
and Eve, and that only those who God
saves, will receive salvation. This
void in Christian thinking which
seduced both Luther and Calvin to
embrace the doctrine of Original Sin
and Divine Providence, was the
result of the corruption of the
scriptures (see
http://BibleCorruption.com ) --
and was directly caused by the
removal of the doctrine of the
Journey of the soul over the course
of many lifetimes (
http://Ebionite.com/reincarnation.htm
). And only when this fact is
understood, can the above words be
understood that a complacent
believer is worse off, than someone
who has never at all believed the
Gospel message. And thus, Christians
today remain ignorant of this fact,
because the teachings on the journey
of the soul was condemned by a
circus prostitute who gained
political power (
http://ChristianReincarnation.org
), and the Church no longer has the
doctrinal means to understand why
some people are created vessels of
honor, while others are created
vessels of dishonor (Rom 9:21-22).
Thus, because of the corruption of
the scriptures, modern Christians
totally lack an understanding of the
words of the Church Father Origen:
“For God the Creator makes a certain
vessel unto honor, and other vessels
to dishonor; but that vessel which
has cleansed itself from all
impurity He makes a vessel unto
honor, while that which has stained
itself with the filth of vice He
makes a vessel unto dishonor. The
conclusion from which, accordingly,
is this, that the cause of each
one's actions is a pre-existing one;
and then every one, according to his
deserts, is made by God either a
vessel unto honor or dishonor.
Therefore every individual vessel
has furnished to its Creator out of
itself the causes and occasions of
its being formed by Him to be either
a vessel unto honor or one unto
dishonor. And if the assertion
appear correct, as it certainly is,
and in harmony with all piety, that
it is due to previous causes that
every vessel be prepared by God
either to honor or to dishonor, it
does not appear absurd that, in
discussing remoter causes in the
same order, and in the same method,
we should come to the same
conclusion respecting the nature of
souls, and (believe) that this was
the reason why Jacob was beloved
before he was born into this world,
and Esau hated, while he still was
contained in the womb of his mother”.
The only means for a person to have
"...cleansed [themselves] from all
impurity"
is to seek to live a pious and
Consecrated Life in TheWay that
Yeshua/Jesus taught and ordained. Yet, Luther went as far as to state
that those who attempt to live a
pious life, have themselves rejected
Christ:
"Those pious souls who do
good to gain the Kingdom of Heaven
not only will never succeed, but
they must even be reckoned among the
impious; and it is more important to
guard them against good works than
against sin."
(Wittenberg, VI, 160, quoted by
O'Hare, in 'The Facts About Luther,
TAN Books, 1987, p. 122.). Like
Calvin, Luther did not understand
the doctrine of Divine Providence
because key teachings had been
removed from the scriptures by the
Church (see
Bible Corruption), and in their
reactionary doctrine to the
corruption of the Roman Church, the
fathers of the Reformation plunged
Christianity into an even greater
apostasy to the true teachings of
Yeshua and TheWay. Thus, Christians
condemn the Knowledge of TheWay, in
order to remain apostates to the
Kingdom by holding fast to the
doctrines of Martin Luther. In the
same way that Luther condemned those
who attempted to live a pious life
to be sinners, someone who is an
Eternal Seeker from their
perspective, rejects the free gift
of salvation in the Jesus-god of
Constantine.
Christians claim that Jesus was
God, because the claim was made that
he was One with God. Yet, they fail
to even consider the fact that
"being One with God",
is not the same as being God. This
reality is parallel to that of a
Divine Marriage (
http://DivineMarriage.org )
where the husband and wife are
"one flesh"--
yet, that does not mean that the
wife is the husband, and the husband
is the wife. It means that they
dwell in oneness and perfect harmony
in the Higher Third-Force Soul
reality that causes the vital
life-force of each to flow freely
through both bodies -- and it is the
manifestation of this is spiritual Etheric reality that makes the
"two one
flesh". Further, the
Gospel of John also states that the
Disciples were One with both Yeshua,
and the Father -- so does that make
them God also? Thus, what we have is
the prevailing Christian ignorance
preached by a clergy who
"...promise [of] freedom
[in their doctrine of salvation by
faith and grace alone], while they
themselves are slaves of depravity"
In order to be a believer and
follower of Yeshua/Jesus and TheWay,
the person must make themselves the
"good
ground" in which the
Living Word has been implanted (see
http://SowerAndSeed.com ) --
Christians promote the
doctrine that they attribute to Paul
with respect to being saved by faith
apart from one's actions. And if
Paul had meant this in the manner
that they imagine, he never would
have told them to
"be afraid"
that if they are unfaithful to their
Covenant, that they will be cast
away (see
http://ebionite.com/#purescriptures
). Thus, Paul warns the
Christians:
“Do not be
arrogant, but be afraid”
(Rom 11:20 NIV). Why? Why would
the Apostle warn the Christian they
should be afraid? Evidently he
didn't know anything about the
modern Christian doctrine attributed
to him that once you say your prayer
accepting Jesus as your personal
Lord and Savior, you are saved
regardless of the manner in which
you live your life. And this
warning is an important question for
the modern believer to understand.
They should be afraid because of the
violation of the covenant with God
when the Gentile converts ignored
the warning of the Apostle:
“For if God
did not spare the natural Jewish
branches, he will not spare you
either… Otherwise, you also will be
cut off” (Rom 11:21-22
NIV). And cut off they were -- and
cut off and in bondage they have
remained to this very day! And
when they open their Bibles, their
hearts and minds are hardened, and
they remain spiritually blind to the
true meaning of the scriptures.
Moreover, because they have never
repented from teaching others the
doctrines of men in place of the
Truths of the Gospel, they remain
forever apostates to the Inner
Kingdom.
In the same way that Yeshua
taught that with respect to the
teachings on the sin of adultery
that his followers would be held to
a higher standard than the Jews,
this is confirmed in Paul's warning
to
"Flee sexual immorality.
Every sin that a man does is outside
the body, but he who commits sexual
immorality sins against his own
body" (1 Cor
6:18 NKJ). If the author of these
words agreed with the doctrine that
man is saved by faith apart from his
actions, then he would have said
that once you accept Jesus Christ as
your personal Lord and Savoir,
sexual immorality no longer matters.
Yet, it is clear that Paul did not
promote the doctrine of faith which
was championed by Martin Luther and
the modern Church. Paul
never once espoused the doctrine of
Luther to
"Be a sinner, and let your sins be
strong..."
-- because a life of sin is a total
rejection of Messiah/Christ.
When Paul wrote that man cannot be
saved by the works of the Law, he
was making reference to the outward
rituals of the Jews -- something
which even modern Judaism has
rejected (see
http://TheThreeLies.com ). Christians are blind to the true
meaning of their own scriptures,
because to even begin to walk in TheWay, one must Repent. Yet,
as Paul himself warned, there
can be no repentance, so long as
Christians continue to embrace the
culture and mindset of this world. Moreover, without true repentance,
there can be no Law of Grace -- only
the disillusion of being possessed
by the Powers of the Left Hand (see
http://DivineManna.org ) --
which possession by the god of this
world was confirmed in the
alternative ending of Mark where it
wars that those who continue to sin
lie
"...under the sway of Satan,
who
will not allow what lies under the
unclean spirits to understand the
truth and power of God".
Thus, it is impossible for
Christians who promote the doctrine
of perpetual sin and redemption to
understand the true meaning of the
Gospel, because they are ruled over
by satanic forces which Yeshua
portrayed as the
"citizen of
the far country".
If the
beginning of one's walk in TheWay is
initiated with repentance, then
there must be a total severing with
the sins of one's past in order to
be faithful to the teachings of
Yeshua and TheWay. To have
compassion and make excuses for the
ways of this world -- attempting to
portray the path of ignorance as
being OK from the perspective of the
teachings of Yeshua and TheWay -- is
merely the product of a defiled mind
that Satan whispers to -- often
telling you his name is Jesus
Christ. So long as you keep
following counterfeit shepherds who
promote the doctrine that you are
saved by Grace regardless of your
actions, mindset and lifestyle, then
you will continue to be apostates to
the Kingdom and the Living Word of
God.
Complacent Believers Worse Off Than
Unbelievers: Until the believer is able to come to terms
with why Jesus and his disciples openly warned of the reality that the
fate of the complacent believer is worse than the unbelievers, they will
remain spiritually impotent and unable to grasp the very First
Principles of the Gospel and the Good News to mankind that Jesus taught.
And while Martin Luther and the Protestant Reformers who instituted the
exodus from Rome in the Reformation may have been sincere, there were a
number of truly important teachings that had been suppressed by the
Church of Rome that totally inhibited their understanding of the
original spiritual essence of the Gospel message. And for
the most part the error of their thinking, remains an integral flaw in
the doctrines of the Church to this very day.
Before a person can go beyond
this point, they must first come to the realization that they do not
understand why the unbelievers who have sinned and deserving of much
judgment, will receive less judgment than the complacent believer.
In the Revelation it is warned: "I know your
works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or
hot. So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot,
I will vomit you out of My mouth" (Rev 3:15-16 NKJ).
What works are being made reference to? Someone who is cold
to the Gospel, is an unbeliever -- while someone who is hot, is on fire
as a true Disciple of TheWay. But someone who is lukewarm,
is very clearly a member of the Church who is complacent, and fails to
bring about the works of the spirit that is required to walk in TheWay.
Thus, Jesus warned: "And that servant, which
knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to
his will, shall be beaten with many stripes. But he that knew not, and
did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes.
For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to
whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more"
(Luke 12:47-48 KJV). Thus, the modern Christian simply
has no means to understand why and how the lukewarm believer will be
beaten with the stripes of greater judgment, than the unbeliever.
So what is the fate of those who "...did commit
things worthy of stripes"
-- but they shall clearly receive far less
than those who knew the masters will, but did not properly prepare
themselves? This is in opposition to everything that modern
Christians believe.
When Jesus said to the chief priests and the
elders that the “…tax collectors and the
harlots go into the kingdom of God before you” (Matt 21:31
RSV), such a statement simply has no place within the present day
understanding of Christian doctrine. Because we are without a means to
explain Jesus' words, most Bible commentaries simply ignore the
implications of this passage of scripture. One widely used commentary
attempts to correct the text by changing the words to
“instead of” -- which would then
make the meaning doctrinally correct and read:
“The tax collectors and the harlots go into the kingdom of God instead
of you”.
But this is not what Jesus stated. And this reality is
further confirmed in the case of sinners and those who have been judged
by the Law are portrayed as having been cast into a type of prison,
Jesus stated: "Assuredly, I say to you, you
will by no means get out of there till you have paid the last penny"
(Matt 5:26 NKJ).
All three
synoptic Gospels contain the passage of scripture which states:
“And when he was gone forth into the way, there
came one running, and kneele |
