Sacred Name
Secret Name
What
is Wrong with the Picture?
By Jim Searcy
It is time the children of God be in unity. If unity is not found in the integrity of the Word of God then where? If not NOW then When? If not me and you, then who? Who will stand for the integrity of the Word of God?
The Sacred Name heretics, generally, are simple heretics, most of whom are good brethren who are being misled by deceivers. Yes, just as prophesied of the glorious and perilous last days, there are many good brethren who are having their souls being made merchandise, by smooth talking wolves in sheep's clothing. Such good brethren are in serious trouble, do need our help, prayers, and most of all, the TRUTH to be set free from the deceptions which have overtaken them.
Yeshua
is the best transliteration of the Hebrew Name of The Messiah. When one
says, Yeshua one is speaking Hebrew. This is the
Name by which all the Apostles would have known Him. The name Jesus comes
into English from the Greek New Testament. The Greek,
Iesous, is a transliteration of Yeshua.
The Greek alphabet did not have all the sounds to fully transliterate the
Hebrew, Yeshua, into Greek. Greek does not have
a letter that has a 'sh' sound.
There is a sad thing now sweeping the Messianic movement. Many, in an
attempt to be more Jewish, are forsaking the Holy Bible for a non holy
bible. If nothing else, at least keep carrying and reading your KJV Holy
Bible in the midst of this messy mess. Be open to the leading of the
Ruach Ha Kodesh to
let anyone who would presume to teach God's people, know Rev 22:18-19 is the
word of Him whose name is called the Word of God, faithfully preserved, and
purified 7 times, according to Psalm 12:6-7.
It may be
painful, yet it is necessary, that we
do is expose some of the Major Messes that
Messianics
are Messing with these days. I am Messianic,
having planted, nurtured, and prayed for Messianic congregations before
Messianic became cool or messy. It is important to know that the bible
distinguishes between heretics and damnable heretics. The heretic, after the
second admonition, is to be REJECTED. We do not allow the damnable heretic
in the door. We do NOT even say God bless you to the damnable heretic. There
will be things in this article which could possibly offend many. Prove all
things, hold fast to that which is good. If you can endure, you may find
some things to help you, and be equipped to help
others
in these days of Strong Delusion.
If you have been convinced by some rabbi, or rebellious spiritual hippie,
that the King James Bible has mistakes in it, ask them to REPLACE it with a
Bible that is perfect. The King James Version Holy Bible we have today has
NOT been revised. For anyone to present themselves as being studied on
the
subject to say that the KJV Holy Bible has been REVISED from the 1611
edition is a LIE. If one claims to have studied this subject, and perhaps
even be presented as a scholar, such a statement would be inexcusable. There
have been editions, but NO REVISIONS. An edition corrects type setting
errors, type style, spelling mistakes, may or may not include the Apocrypha,
but does NOT REVISE OR CHANGE WORDS OR THEIR MEANING AS DOES A REVISION.
By the
promise of God, we do KNOW THE Holy Bible has been preserved and purified
for the final Seventh purification. We have NO reason to doubt that the KJV
Holy Bible we hold in our hands, is the very
preserved and purified word of God for the international language of the
last days, English.
The
authority for the KJV Holy Bible, being THE ONLY Holy Bible in English, is
not in the first printing of the King James Version in 1611, or in the
character of King James I, or in the scholarship of the 1611 translators, or
in the literary accomplishments of Elizabethan England, or even in the Greek
Received Text. Our authority for the infallible words of the KJV Authorized
English Bible lies in the power and promise of God to preserve His Word! God
has the power. We have His Word. Our authority for the infallible words of
the English Bible lies in the power and promise of God to
preserve His Word! Alleluia !
Specifically we will look at what is wrong with the Sacred Name heretics.
Relating to this, we need to look at the Messianic heretics who deny the
Authority of the New Testament. We will look at the heretics who deny the
Apostleship of the Apostle Paul and the authority of his writings in the New
Testament. We will look at the Messianic heretics which deny the Deity of
the Lord Jesus Christ.
The
Sacred Name heretics, most of whom are simple heretics, and are good
brethren who are being misled by deceivers. Yes, just as prophesied of these last days, good brethren are having their souls being
made shipwreck by smooth talking wolves in sheep's clothing. Such good
brethren are in serious trouble. They need the TRUTH to be set free from the deceptions
which have overtaken them.
In
these days of strong delusion some have received and are propagating quite a
defamatory LIE regarding the wonderful and powerful name of Jesus. Jesus is
the modern English of the 1611 Greek equivalent of
Iesous. It is the 'sous' at the end that
sends people down that sad and often demonic path of deception. The 'sous'
tricks some people into thinking that somehow, Yeshua's
Name got transferred to another god, Zeus. Some people believe we should not
say 'Jesus' as the 'sus' in Jesus is very
similar to the sound 'Zeus' makes. Such thinking is not logical, truthful,
or biblical. It is the polar opposite of good scholarship, and should be a
red flag to possible demonic
religious
spirit deception and demonic religious spirit bondage.
The
Name Yeasous, or Iesous,
was written and given to us by the Holy Spirit through the Holy Spirit
INSPIRED writers of the New Testament. We find His Name in the Gospels,
Acts, Epistles, and the Revelation, as Yeasous.
Iseous is the 1611 English equivalent. For
anyone to demand that we do not say the Name Yeasous,
Iseous, or Jesus, because it sounds like Zeus
may seem reasonable; but, it is not at all informed, or truthful. That logic
would also require that we should not say the word basin or raisin because
it has the word sin in it. All of the writers of the New Testament were
Jewish, except Luke, who was a proselyte, and they all wrote in Greek, or
had their words transcribed to Greek. Those saying otherwise are deceived.
All of the writers of the
New Testament wrote the Hebrew name Yeshua as Yeasous. Everyone should KNOW
that none of the Holy Spirit inspired writers of the New Testament ever
thought they were calling upon the god of Mt. Olympus when they wrote
Yeasous.
YHVH,
Almighty God, in His wisdom and mercy, saw to it, that there was a most
exact and precise International Language of Greek when Messiah came to break
down the dividing wall of hostility. That dividing wall of hostility, which
has no basis in the Word of God, is being rebuilt
by the false teachers of these last days of strong delusion, about whom we
have been warned. Greek is the most precise language. It was necessary that
the New Testament, which gives the fullness of the revelation and
understanding of the Old Testament, be written in Greek. God intended that
His revelation of understanding to His children was to be full, sound, and
PRECISE.
It is
time that it be said with straight, clear,
boldness. THOSE WHO PROMOTE THAT WE SHOULD NOT SAY THE NAME JESUS, AND THAT
THE NAME JESUS, IESOUS IN THE GREEK, MEANS ANOTHER GOD ARE CONTENDING WITH
THE HOLY SPIRIT, WHO INSPIRED WHAT WAS WRITTEN IN THE ORIGINAL GREEK
NEW
TESTAMENT.
Under
the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, Yeshua's
name was written
Yeasous,
which in the 1611 English, was Iesous. It is
written by the Apostles in the Greek New Testament that way. Today, His Name
is known, in the entire world, in the international language of English, as
the wonderful and powerful Name of Jesus. People today advocating such lies
and pathetic scholarship, that it is somehow WRONG to use the name of Jesus
are not Holy Spirit spiritual. The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Truth.
Considering what spirits would promote such error and
deception, should raise alarm regarding the possibility of
counterfeit religious demonic spirits. Such deceptions should be strongly
reproved and rebuked.
Changing Messiah's Hebrew Name to Iesous was not
unbiblical nor a sin. The Greek simply had no letter for the 'sh'
sound, and did not have a close phonetic sound of His Hebrew Name. He still
IS the I AM, or Hayah
in Hebrew. He still IS the King of the Jews who died for both Jew and
Gentile. He still IS the One who showed us that the Law was not only God's
Love in writing, but gave us to hear and KNOW God's Sacrificial Love. Jesus
Christ IS come in the flesh. Alleluia Yeshua.
The
Church, sadly, has changed our Lord. Many churches present Him as a Law
breaker, or One who would come to do away with
the Law of Moses. The Roman state church theologically took away everything
Hebraic about the Messiah of Israel. The reformers never reformed or
protested that error. The Roman Church pasted His Name onto pagan feast
days. Pagan doctrines were 'Christianized' with Christian terms, in their
attempt to sever their relationship with the Jewish people and the Hebrew
Bible. The reformers and protestors never reformed or protested the demonic
doctrines of Jew hatred and Jew blame shifting. We do praise God that this
demonic deception is being corrected by the Holy Spirit today. Even if
everyone in the Church says it does not matter that Christmas, Easter, and
Sunday, 'used to be' pagan holidays, God's children are called to walk in
the light of TRUTH, by His Spirit of Truth. Even if all the people receive a
lie as being the truth, the lie does not become true, and the lie is still a
lie.
What
would Jesus do? That question can give us insight. More full and complete
insight is found in what the KJV Holy Bible tells us that Jesus and the
Apostles DID do. Those things which the KJV Holy Bible clearly tells us
Jesus and the Apostles DID DO, have suffered a great deal of wresting and
perversion over the last 2000 years, and particularly so, in these last
days.
The
custom of Yeshua and the Apostles was to be in
the synagogue on the Sabbath. Yeshua was
crucified on Wednesday, Nissan 14, 30 AD outside the walls of Jerusalem. On
the Sabbath, after 3 days and nights, He was resurrected from the dead, and
now is seated at the right hand of the Father, on the highest throne of the
Majesty on High, as Lord of the Sabbath.
Mat
12:8 For the Son of man is Lord even of the
sabbath day.
Mark
2:28 Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the
sabbath.
Luke
6:5 And he said unto them, That the Son of man is
Lord also of the sabbath.
Yeshua
and the Apostles KEPT the feasts of the Lord, which all
were celebrations of the Ministry of Yeshua
THE Messiah. They NEVER celebrated Christmas or Easter. Regardless of the
`Christianizing' that the Roman Church has done to those pagan celebrations,
they are still pagan holidays. No amount of 'Grace' can change God's
position on bringing His People out of Babylon. Grace was not given to His
Body so that we would continue to sin, and excuse
and rationalize our willing ignorance of God's commandments. Pagan holidays
or times like Christmas, Easter, or Sunday Sabbath, have NO authority, or
blessing from God. The Roman Church picked them up from Babylon. The first
pope Constantine, and his court theologian Eusebius, decreed them
sanctified, and the reformers and protesters, never reformed, or protested
but followed BLINDLY.
In the
peril of these glorious last days, many are
FINALLY beginning to read the KJV Holy Bible the way God told them, from Gen
1:1-Rev 22:21, precept upon precept, and line upon line. Many are coming out
of Babylon. The religious deceptions will wither and fade under the Light of
the truth of God's Word.
Sadly,
the position of the Roman Church which was NOT protested by
the Protestants, regarding the Law of Moses, is just as perverse. Today, the
vast majority of the Jews can NOT recognize their own glorious Messiah
because the Church has so vastly distorted the biblical Jesus. The Jesus
whom the Roman Church conjured up is a Law breaker, pig eater, and
violator of the Sabbath and Feasts of the Lord, which would define a sinner
to the Jew. It is true that Jesus was the Friend of Sinners; but, it is a
LIE to think He ever ate pork, violated the
Sabbath, or failed to celebrate the Feasts of the Lord.
These
distortions brought in by Rome, and Never Protested
by the Protestants, have been used for 16 centuries to keep the Jews from
knowing their own glorious Messiah.
The
typical witness of the 501c3 sun god day
entertainment centers of pre-trib
lala
land, is not a good witness of the Gospel to the
Jews. And we are clearly told that we are to be His witnesses to the Jew
FIRST. To most other people, the Babylonian, Greek-Roman Jesus of the Church
would not cause great theological problems. Most people feel good about
their paganism with its nice Christian terms, and feel good feigned
affection. But to the Jewish People, it is impossible for the Messiah of
Israel to disregard the Torah of Moses or to throw it out. By the way, this
should also be unthinkable and untenable for real Christians too. Why?
Because one thing every Jew
does
know is that Moses did NOT make it up. Shouldn't the Christian know that
too? The Jew knows the Torah came from the God of Israel. Shouldn't the
Christian know that too? God clearly says it is His Truth to His People.
Shouldn't the Christian know that too?
The
denigration of the Law of Moses by the Church keeps many Jews from ever
checking out the claims of Yeshua as the long
awaited Messiah. This same denigration of the Law of Moses produces a vain
powerless religion of rationalizing why Christians should not do what God
said to do. Take another good look at the Cross of Calvary. Shouldn't the
Christian see the reason to want to do what God said to do, after
understanding what God did for us sinners there?
There
does still remain much Truth to the Jesus that the Church presents to us.
However it is NOT fully the Truth. And the times of this ignorance God
winked at; but NOW commandeth all men every
where to repent: Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge
the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he
hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.
Who
among us does not believe Jesus is Resurrected and glorified and coming
again soon? Who among us does not think it is time we do something about the
ignorance problem of this Roman Babylonian
Sungod
UNBIBLICAL traditions?
Using
the Name Yeshua does not guarantee us a fool-proof
Name for our Messiah as many fools use the Name Yeshua
and have doctrines that also come from demons. The GJiGT
uses the names Jesus and
Yeshua
with PURPOSEFUL and TOTAL interchangeability. We do not say the Name
Yeshua because we have to use His Hebrew Name, we
say it because people in these last days should KNOW that is His Hebrew Name,
BECAUSE THE DEVILS DO KNOW IT AND TREMBLE. However the
GJiGT also says the Name Jesus, and will soundly rebuke those who would
dare to say that Jesus is not a wonderful and powerful name.
Some
people like to say and write Yeshua's Name as,
Yahshua or some derivation with the 'Yah' in the
front. This is a theological statement on their part. The only foundation for
such a poor transliteration of Hebrew rests on the statement by
Yeshua that He
came in
His Father's Name (John 5:43). The Name to which they refer to is
Yahveh, pronounced Yah-vay.
Some religiously, and again we say RELIGIOUSLY, feel it necessary to correct
how Yeshua's Name was spelled. Unfortunately for
them, their theological reasoning has a large hole in it.
The
ambassador from Israel to Cyprus comes in the name of the Prime Minister of
Israel. But the ambassador does not add either Israel or the name of the
current Prime Minister, to the name that he was given by his parents at birth.
When the Lord was born, Yeshua was a very common
name given to Jewish babies. To my knowledge there is no name
Yahshua in Hebrew. However, one nice thing about
Hebrew transliteration, is that if it sounds ok to
you it is supposed to be OK. For sure, this is one point about which we should
follow the instruction of 1 Cor 14:38,
But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant.
However, if occasion is being sought, that is another
matter.
Those
who refer to the God of Israel as Jehovah, usually
just do not know that there is no 'J' sound in biblical Hebrew.
Yahveh, in Hebrew is spelled,
yod-hay-vav-hay. The use of the vowel sounds among the Jewish People
for the yod-hay-vav-hay,
is not available. Jewish tradition is rather cast in concrete that one can
not, and must not, say the sacred Name of Yahveh.
This rabbinic, cast in concrete idea, is ridiculous. If the People of Israel
cannot say the Name of their God, who can? If Yahveh
did not want the Jewish people to say His Name, there would be a Commandment
as such, or He would never have given His Name to His People. That rabbinic
tradition is just another example of the Rabbis doing
priest craft, and is contrary to the Word of God. Yes, the Rabbis
actually do tell people that it is a sin for Jews to say
Yahveh. The truth is that it is a sin for the Rabbis to tell the people
that they can not say the Name, Yahveh because God
does NOT say that.
The
pronunciation of Yahveh is interesting. The
scholars from the reformation era, inserted the
vowels that the Jewish Rabbis use for the Hebrew word for Lord which is
Adonai, in between the four known Hebrew
consonants YHVH. The first vowel is an 'ah' sound in
Adonai, Ah-doe-nigh. This is where the 'JEH'
for Jeh-ho-vah comes from, and some say
JAH-ho-vah which is more in line with
Adonai. The second vowel in
Adonai is 'OH', and this is where the 'O' comes from in
Jeh-HO-vah.
The third vowel in Adonai is 'ai';
but in the Hebrew, the vowel is actually just an 'ah' sound, and only the 'ah'
sound carries
over to Jeh-ho-VAH, not the 'ai'
sound.
Yahveh,
with the Y changed to a J placed in the front and becomes
Jeh-ho-vah
in English. Germans in particular pronounce their 'J' as a Y' and so they
would say, 'Yah-ho-vah. There is no biblical
reason to suggest that the Holy Name is pronounced as either Jehovah or
Yahovah
or Yehovah, because the vowels used come from
another Hebrew word; Adonai. The fact, and the
truth is, that no one on earth KNOWS how to pronounce YHVH.
When
people will read the KJV Holy Bible for themselves, in the way one would read
any other book in which one has regard for the Author, we do come upon some
troubling truths. The Jesus which has been presented to us by the big
denomination Churches and Televangelists has some serious differences and
distortions, compared to the Word of God in full
context. We find that the Jesus of the New Testament would never condone the
eating of pig, or the breaking of the Sabbath Day. However, when reading the
KJV Holy Bible with the Holy Spirit as our Teacher, we also do find that the Name
Jesus although not a perfect transliteration of the Hebrew
Yeshua,
is still a wonderful and totally acceptable way to say the Name of the Messiah
of Israel.
A
warning signal of possible demonic religious spirit deception,
should be given heed when there is a hyper-dogmatic insistence on some
word pronunciation. God looks on the heart. Occultists pay great heed to
secret or magical words and their pronunciations. The admonitions of I
Cor 14:8 & 38,
generally applies when someone asserts that there is but one name, and one
name only, by which The Messiah, The Son of God, should be known, and that it
is Yashuah, or Yahshuah.
The fact is, this is far removed from the truth, and can NOT be, and is by no
means supported by, the Holy Bible. Nowhere in the Bible, Hebrew or Greek, can
one find such a name. The Son, coming in the name of the Father, meant that
just as the Father has names that point to His role in saving His people, the
Son does too.
More importantly it means that the Son had
FULL authority as God, to speak in the name of the Father.
Yeshua has full power, authority, and ability to
pardon sins. His power is by no means limited to Redeemer. He is also Creator
with FULL power and authority of the Father. In Ex. 23:20-21 we clearly see
that Yahveh says that the
Messenger that He was sending before Israel, had His Name 'in him'. With THIS
Messenger, all believers should recognize Jesus in this role, as the Messenger
of the Covenant. He is seen throughout the Torah especially, talking in the
first person, as God Himself. The Messenger clearly is the I AM, and clearly
does receive worship.
This
could only be Yeshua. Gen. 16:7, 9-13; 22:11, 15;
24:7, 40, Ex. 3:2-6, Num. 20:16; 22:22-27, 31-35, Jud. 2:1-4; 13:17-18, 20,
Psalm 34:7. This list is by no means comprehensive but should give the idea of
how fully the Old Testament teaches that all of those appearances of God are
Yeshua, God the Son, or Hayah,
the Hebrew word for the I AM.
The Name
Yeshua means, salvation in Hebrew. The name Jesus
is the Greek form of 'Joshua'. It is much like 'Joram'
2nd Kings 9:14 for 'Jehoram' 2nd Kings 9:15; 'Joash'
2nd Kings 12:20 for 'Jehoash' 2nd Kings 12:1; and
'Jonathan' most commonly for the 'Jehonathan'
which we find in the Hebrew.
The full
significance of the name 'Jesus' is seen in that Yahveh
does save His people. When the Messiah came to this earth and took upon
Himself human flesh, the Father sent His angel to declare The Messiah's name,
Yeshua(Mt. 1:21). Since
Yeshua means Salvation and there also is no fault to be found with
those who would say Yeshua means `Salvation of the
Yahveh', we can now understand what He, the
Messiah, meant when He said, 'I am come in My Father's name'; and what the
Father meant when He said, My name is in Him. Exo
23:21 Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not
pardon your transgressions: for my name is in him.
False
Apostles are among the special warnings for the perils associated with the
last days. Apostle and Apostasy almost appear to be similar words. Anyone who
claims to be a believer in the One True God of the Holy Bible, and would sow
doubt and discord regarding the Apostleship of Saul of Tarsus, is a false
apostle, or at least a false teacher.
Paul was
knocked off his high horse by the Risen Lord Yeshua
THE Messiah. The Apostle Paul was called directly by the LORD to be the
pre-eminent Apostle to establish the doctrine of Messiah. Anyone denying
Paul's Apostleship is denying the LORD Yeshua who
sent Paul. Such are without question deceived DECEIVERS, who either need to be
born again, or be born again, AGAIN.
There
can be NO tolerance or occasion given for those who want Christian fellowship,
and DENY that Paul was an apostle chosen by the Lord Jesus Christ. There can
be no occasion given for those seeking to gain disciples after themselves, who
say that Paul's writings
in the KJV Holy Bible, including the book of Hebrews, is not scripture. When
you come across such, KNOW that you are dealing with an antichrist APOSTATE
HERETIC. Such should immediately be given their first admonition as a heretic.
If they respond in any way other than meekness, repentance, and biblical
faith, they are to be given the second admonition as an heretic and REJECTED.
Yes this is definitely one of those issues about which one MUST earnestly
contend for THE faith which was once delivered unto the saints.
Titus
3:10 A man that is an heretic after the first and second admonition reject;
Titus
3:11 Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and
sinneth, being condemned of himself.
There
are many parts of the Body, but there is only One Head. His name is Jesus
Christ, Yeshua THE Messiah, whose name is called
the Word of God!!!!!!
What
about these false Apostles? APOSTLE is a common Greek word from naval and
commercial language. An apostle represents the sender (Yeshua),
and has AUTHORITY to represent the Sender. In the New Testament it is a
technical term for a messenger Yeshua sent on a
mission, and more specifically for THE TWELVE WHOM YESHUA SELECTED to follow
Him and personally witness His death and resurrection.
Most
specifically the Apostles were the Twelve chosen by the LORD to record and
establish the Doctrine of Messiah or the Doctrine of the Apostles which is one
and the same doctrine. Paul was the last of the twelve, picked directly by
Yeshua, to replace Judas. The picking of
Matthias, actually was a violation of the command
of the Lord to WAIT
until they were endued with power from on High. The picking of
Matthias,
as the Apostle replacement for Judas was an act of disobedience. Paul was the
one chosen by the LORD to replace Judas. If one has a problem with this just
think about the foundations of New Jerusalem. Rev 21:14 And the wall of the
city had twelve
foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
The
apostles were told to go to Jerusalem and WAIT for the promised Holy Spirit.
Someone should have reminded Peter that the LORD had commanded them to WAIT.
Even after Peter had received the FULLNESS of the Holy Spirit, he needed
correction. That should be a lesson for EVERY Minister and church member. Paul
withstood Peter to his face and rebuked Peter publicly. Gal 2:11 But when
Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be
blamed. Thank God Paul had the courage to give Peter such a strong public
Rebuke, and thank God that Peter repented. The fact remains, that Peter was in
need of public rebuke, AFTER receiving the promised Holy Spirit, AND Peter,
received the rebuke, and repented. Peter's disobedience in picking Mathias, in
Acts 1, really ought to raise up some red flags for the redeemed remnant in
the last days of the great apostasy.
Peter
was WRONG?? Yes, he was VERY wrong. What does WAIT mean? WAIT means stay in a
place, or REMAIN INACTIVE, or at the ready, or in anticipation UNTIL someone
comes or something happens. DELAY or PUT OFF actions. That means do NOT do
anything to direct My church UNTIL you receive the promise. It meant a
temporary suspension of apostolic authority UNTIL they had received the Holy
Spirit. Peter did NOT WAIT for the Holy Spirit. Peter did NOT act at the
direction of the Holy Spirit. Peter acted in the deductive reasoning of his
disobedient unregenerate mind. Peter acted in direct disobedience of the last
instruction of Yeshua to him and the other
apostles. The apostles, in clear disobedience, without the Holy Spirit, acting
in the flesh, chose Matthias to replace Judas.
It is
most likely that Yeshua picked Saul, the very
night Satan entered into Judas. Saul was in the Sanhedrin
council where Yeshua was taken. It likely was
there that Yeshua chose Saul. However, Saul kept
kicking until, Yeshua knocked Saul off of his
horse and blinded him, and PERMANENTLY ASTONISHED the Apostle Paul.
THE MAIN
PURPOSE OF APOSTLES WAS TO ESTABLISH THE DOCTRINE OF YESHUA THE MESSIAH. That
job is done. We need to restore the doctrine of the apostles. As for me and my
house, the office of apostle is filled by the Authorized English Scriptures.
Today's walking talking self proclaimed rabbis and false apostles have a
difficult time with the GJiGT.
What
about Apostasy? What does apostasy mean? All should now be told that we are in
the great apostasy. APOSTASY is the act of rebelling against, forsaking,
abandoning, or falling away from what one has believed, regarding THE Faith.
THE Faith is very definite and very specific, as the ONE Faith of Salvation by
the grace of God through FAITH. The FAITH of Abraham, in the Lord Jesus
Christ, the Lamb of God, which God Himself would be and provide IN Messiah,
just as Abraham had prophesied as he was about to
sacrifice Isaac. Gen 22:8 And Abraham said, My son, God will
provide himself a lamb.
Now, if
we have new apostles, are they establishing new doctrine? We do not need new
doctrine. We need to have the Doctrine of Messiah, the doctrine of THE
APOSTLES restored. Most, if not all, who claim to be apostles today, are the
false apostles that we have been warned would come in the last days. New
apostles, with new doctrines, new wine, and new spirits, may be causing the
act of rebelling against, forsaking, abandoning, or falling away from THE
Faith which one has believed. That is the definition of APOSTASY.
What is
THE Faith? 1 Cor 16:13 Watch ye, stand fast in THE
faith, quit you like men, be strong. Gal 2:16 Knowing that a man is not
justified by the works of the law, but by THE faith OF
Yeshua Messiah, even we have believed IN Yeshua
Messiah, that we might be justified by THE faith OF Messiah, and not by the
works of the law: for by the works of the law shall NO flesh be justified. Eph
3:12 In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by THE faith OF Him.
Phil 3:9 And be found IN Him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of
the law, but that which is through THE faith OF Messiah, the righteousness
which is of God by faith: Col 1:23 IF ye continue in THE faith grounded and
settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have
heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof
I Paul am made a minister; Col 2:12 Buried with Him in baptism, wherein also
ye are risen with Him through THE faith of the operation of God, who hath
raised Him from the dead. 1 Tim 3:9 Holding the mystery of THE faith in a pure
conscience. 1 Tim 4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh
expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from THE faith, giving
heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
True
apostles would be very uncomfortable with such a title today. The great
leaders of the faith today, if given the title of apostle by some assembly,
would gladly renounce the title of apostle. All of the great leaders in the
Ministry whom I have known would say that we do not need new apostles and new
doctrines. Every true apostle would say we need the DOCTRINE OF THE APOSTLES
RESTORED. It would be more than a little presumptuous for anyone in these days
to presume that his name is written on one of the 12 foundations of New
Jerusalem.
As
uncomfortable as the title of apostle would make the man of God in these days,
it should be made VERY MUCH MORE UNCOMFORTABLE for anyone who would come
rejecting the Apostleship of Paul or denying the authority of Paul's writing
as scripture. This is one of the easy ways to identify the last days heretics,
most of whom are damnable heretics.
Let no man deceive himself. If any man among
you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him
become a fool, that he may be wise. We are fools for Christ's sake, but ye are
wise in Christ; we are weak, but ye are strong; ye are
honourable, but we are despised. Those are words of the Apostle Paul,
inspired by the Holy Spirit in 1 Cor 3:18 & 4:10.
We are often considered by the world in and out of the Church to be fools for
Christ's sake. Glory to God. Allelluia
Yeshua.
Real
faith makes the burdens of an impossible antichrist world, which would call us
fools, to be a light burden. REAL FAITH is good, right, simple. Real Faith
lightens the burden of this antichrist world to move one to simply DO what God
said, without having to think too much about it, without necessarily
understanding it, without anyone else thinking
it is right, doing what God said, JUST BECAUSE GOD SAID SO.
To the
world today, and sadly, most of ChurchDUMB, that
sounds foolish. However, I am fully persuaded that is what real FAITH is all
about. Real faith wants to KNOW what God said, reads what God said in the More
Sure word which is written in the KJV Holy Bible, and DOES what God said, just
because God said so. That is the kind of real faith
which witnesses the manifestation of His exceeding great mighty power to raise
the dead, heal the sick, and cast out devils. That is the faith which will
even witness the greatest miracle of sinners receiving the grace of God in
repentance and faith in Jesus Christ.
Though
shocking to many, we need to know that it is a false doctrine to believe or
teach that somehow the New Testament is to be separated, more inspired,
different from, or changes, the Word of God in the Old Testament. The New
Testament gives fullness of understanding and revelation of the Old Testament,
to be sure.
However,
the New Testament in NO WAY causes the Old Testament to be less inspired or
less a part of God's word. It is way past time for the heretical doctrine,
that the New Testament does away with the Old Testament, to
to be FIXED. We have a new covenant with a better
priesthood and better promises, but that new covenant in NO WAY makes the Old
Testament any less the inspired word of God.
Please
understand that we am NOT calling such brethren damnable heretics. But they
are brethren who are in trouble. The brethren who believe the New Testament to
be more authoritative, or more inspired than the Old Testament, are brethren
who have been overtaken by a heretical doctrine. To these brethren we need to
seek the leading of the Holy Spirit, how that we may, in meekness, instruct
them regarding how that heretical belief, causes them to be OPPOSING
THEMSELVES.
Every
word in the KJV Holy Bible from Gen 1:1-Rev 22:21 is ALL the Word of God. The
Holy Bible is a consistent whole, and those saying otherwise, have not studied
to show themselves approved unto God on the subject, and should be ashamed.
This
ungodly addition of the divider page between NT & OT in the Holy Bible has
created more dividing walls of hostility and ignorance, than any other page of
the Bible. Here are some of the FALSE doctrines, abominations, and doctrines
of devils that come from the division and separation of the Old Testament from
the New Testament.
1. Only
the pages AFTER the NT title page are considered to be valid teaching for
Christians. They are totally sufficient for instruction in the Christian faith
and no other teaching is needed. WRONG!
2.
Everything prior to the NT title page has been fulfilled, completed, and done
away with, because Christ has already come and fulfilled, completed, finished,
and done away with everything written prior to His coming. WRONG!
3. All
teaching prior to the NT title page is good ONLY for historical perspective
and should not have any authoritative value in any Christian's life, as Christ
is our only authority now. WRONG!
4. Any
effort to obey any custom or commandment prior to the NT title page is
evidence of religious bondage and "keeping the Law." This is evidence of
"salvation by works" and is in direct conflict with Christ's salvation by
faith. WRONG!
NOW FOR
THE BIGGIE THAT COULD CAUSE THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE SO-
CALLED
CHRISTIAN WORLD TO CHEER THE ANTICHRIST WHEN HE DOES THE
ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION
5. Any
sacrifice prior to the NT title page is removed and should not ever be done
again, because Christ is the final sacrifice for everything. WRONG!
Many
Christian teachers today, really believe that the teaching of the Old
Testament is valid only for historical perspective. The title page for the New
Testament then effectively keeps people IGNORANT. That is good for the
religion business. That NT title page becomes a barrier set up to redirect
Christians back to the New Testament,
preventing them from understanding what Moses actually taught.
This is
so far removed from the teaching of the Apostles, that it is amazing how some
teaching such things, would claim the same Holy Spirit of inspiration of the
Apostles.
When the
Apostle Paul wrote this to Timothy, what Scripture was he referring to? THINK.
2 Tim
3:16-17 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for
doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That
the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.
THINK.
Now with
your mind washed by the Word, and renewed and regenerated by the Holy Ghost,
was Paul referring to his letters to Timothy and others, or was he referring
to the writings of Moses and the Prophets?
When
Peter wrote his letter to the believers, what Scripture was he referring to?
2 Pet
1:20-21 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any
private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of
man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved
by the Holy Ghost.
Was
Peter referring to his own letter or to the writings of Moses and the
Prophets?
Consider
when James referred the Gentiles to the teaching of Moses for instruction in
the "essentials" of the faith after the first council in Jerusalem with Peter
and Paul.
Acts
15:21 For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him, being
read in the synagogues every sabbath day.
This
truth may shock you; but, the Holy Ghost should quicken your renewed mind to
understand that James did, IN FACT, EXPECT Gentile Christians to go and
receive the instruction of Moses from synagogues on the Sabbath day? Yes,
Brethren, like it or not, that is the bottom line of how James summarized his
instruction, from the Acts 15,
Jerusalem Counsel, by referring the Gentile Christians to the teaching of
Moses! Yes, on the SABBATH, in accord with the 4th Commandment, not
suggestion, that JESUS wrote with His finger in STONE, so not even the pope
could change it. The teaching of James and all of the Apostles is completely
consistent and agrees with Moses.
True,
Apostolic, Holy Ghost teaching of the New Testament is completely consistent
with Moses and the Prophets. True, Apostolic, Holy Ghost teaching in fact,
MUST be based upon Moses and the Prophets, OR IT IS OUT OF CONTEXT, AND
WITHOUT FOUNDATION, AND IS OF A SPIRIT WHICH IS NOT THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH.
This may
be a tough pill to swallow, but God commands father's to teach Torah to their
children. (Lev 10:11, Deu 4:10,
Deu 6:7, Deu 11:19,
Deu 31:19) There is not such a command for fathers
to teach the Gospel to their children. It is only the teaching of Torah which
keeps children free of danger of receiving another gospel, or another Jesus. I
dare say, that one only THINKS one understands Yeshua,
without the instruction of Moses. I dare say, without a special MIRACLE work
of the Holy Ghost, one does not KNOW, with fullness of understanding, what
Jesus taught, without the instruction of Moses.
1
Cor 8:2 And if any man think that he
knoweth any thing, he knoweth
nothing yet as he ought to know.
It is
TRULY as Yeshua said: John 5:46-47 For had ye
believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me. But if ye
believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?
Do the
New Testament Holy Ghost preachers really understand what Jesus taught if they
do NOT believe the words of Moses? According to what Jesus said in John
5:46-47 the answer would be NO.
The
writings of the Apostles are the word of God just as much as Moses and the
Prophets, BUT NOT MORE SO.
The
writings of Moses and The Prophets are the word of God just as much as the
writings of the Apostles, BUT NOT MORE SO.
All 66
books of the KJV Holy Bible are Scripture, and the very Word of God. However,
to say the writings of the Apostles are more important than Moses and the
Prophets, is ERROR. To say the writings of Moses and the Prophets are more
important than the writings of the Apostles, is ERROR. All 66 books are the
Word of God. 2 Tim 3:16 All
scripture is given by inspiration of God. God Said So. God IS God. God can NOT
Lie. God does NOT Change. Heb 13:8 Jesus Christ, (whose name is called the
word of God), the same yesterday, and to day, and forever.
We
should be prepared to point out the ERROR of discounting, devaluing, or
discarding any of the Word of God. ALL from Gen 1:1-Rev 22:21 is the Word of
God. I will stand strong against anyone who discounts or devalues, or
separates the writings of Moses and the Prophets, as compared with the New
Testament. I will stand just as
strongly
against anyone would DARE to discount, devalue, or separate the writings of
the New Testament from the teaching of Moses and the Prophets. The Apostles
taught EXCLUSIVELY from the Old Testament to instruct the FIRST Century
Christians. A good example as well, is how
Yeshua
Himself, taught the disciples on the road to Emmaus, immediately after His
resurrection:
Luke
24:27 And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in
all the scriptures the things concerning himself.
Luke
24:31 And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of
their sight.
Luke
24:32 And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he
talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures?
It was
Moses and the Prophets, which was taught to new believers of
Yeshua,
in that FIRST century. It was that teaching of Moses and the Prophets, that
caused their hearts to burn within them like those on the road to Emmaus.
Brethren, we can be absolutely certain of the FACT that the Old Testament is
the writing which the First century church of Jesus Christ relied upon. The
information in the back of my KJV, says that the first gospel was written by
either Matthew or Mark in about 70AD, Paul's Epistles from about 51-64AD, and
Revelation was not completed until very near the END of the First century in
about 95AD. The New Testament could NOT have been assembled until the SECOND
Century at the EARLIEST. From that FACT, we do KNOW there is sufficient
instruction in the Old Testament alone, to convince a
reasonably minded person, that Yeshua is the
Messiah. The evidence of the New Testament with its miracles, and fulfilled
prophecies, is dessert; but, the main course for believing in Messiah,
spiritual warfare tactics, the second coming, and millennial kingdom, is in
the Old Testament.
Without
question Moses is the greatest Prophet of the Messiah. Jesus said so in John
5:46-47. The Old Testament prophets have much more to say about the second
coming, and the millennial kingdom, than the New Testament does. But how many
Christians know this?
So go
ahead and call me wrong and ignorant. Meanwhile, I will witness devils being
cast out in the name of Yeshua, see the sick be
healed in the name of Jesus, and yes, even witness Him raise the dead. Yes, I
am ignorant; but, I have NO time or interest in the vain powerless religions
based upon rationalizing why God did NOT mean what He said. Those are the ones
who are WRONG. Jesus said you MUST be born again. To those who say they have
been born again, who are in those vain powerless religions of rationalizing
why God did NOT mean what He said, - WELL - that rather makes them living
proof that the once saved always saved doctrine of devils, is a lie. Yet, for
those who will seek and find His grace to repent, you can be born again,
AGAIN.
Alleluia
Yeshua.
The first words ever spoken by the devil to humans was – "Hath God Said?" If we can not KNOW what God said we can not have strong faith. We have to KNOW some things and not just think we do. 1 Cor 8:2 And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know.
2 Tim
2:15 Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that
needeth
not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
Isa
28:10 For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon
line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:
2 Tim
3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for
doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
2 Tim
3:17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good
works.
1
Cor 1:10 Now I beseech you, brethren, by the
name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that
there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in
the same mind and in the same judgment.
It
would seem that the ONE Holy God would have His children have the One Holy
Bible, that they might be ONE, and speak the SAME thing, have the SAME
judgment, have NO divisions, that we would have ONE mind, and even ONE soul,
and with ONE voice glorify God. Teachers who presume to teach God's children
with bibles other than the KJV Holy Bible, should be ASHAMED. Such teachers
have NOT studied to show
themselves APPROVED UNTO GOD on such a foundationally important subject. The
teaching of anyone not using a KJV Holy Bible should be highly suspect. Such
men should be ASHAMED according to 2 Tim 2:15.
One
has not necessarily studied to show themselves approved UNTO GOD, no matter
how many men approve their doctrines. According to 2
Cor
10:5-6 We are to cast down imaginations, and every high thing that
exalteth itself against the knowledge of God,
and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; (whose
name is called
the Word of God) And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when
your obedience is fulfilled.
Heresy
gives legal ground for the operation of demon spirits. However, the bible is
very clear that there are heresies and there are DAMNABLE heresies. The
unrepentant heretic, damnable or not, is to be rejected after the second
admonition. The DAMNABLE Heretic has teaching which denies the
Doctrine of Christ. More serious heresies give greater ground for demonic
spirits to build strongholds.
These
truly are evident signs of our times:
2 Tim
4:3-4 For the time will come when they will NOT ENDURE SOUND doctrine; but
after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching
ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be
turned unto fables.
2 Tim
3:7-8 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
Now as Jannes and Jambres
withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds,
reprobate concerning the faith.
In
this antichrist war on the saints, a vain powerless religion of
rationalizing why God did NOT mean EXACTLY what He said, in the KJV Holy
Bible, rightly divided, will not likely endure to the end. It is time the
saints, if they can still get their hands on a KJV Holy Bible, to READ it,
and KNOW what God Said. It is time the saints no longer halt between 2
opinions. It is time we dispense with any religious rationalizations of why
God did NOT mean EXACTLY what He said.
People
will believe what they choose to believe, and do what they choose to do. It
is a very sad sign of the times that everyone does what is right in their
OWN eyes. It is brushed off by saying, "don't judge", when the spiritual man
judges all things. We do not judge those outside the Body, but when one
professes to be a member of the
Body
of Christ, such an one comes under the discipline and judgment of the Word
of God.
Jer
9:23-24 Thus saith the LORD, Let not the wise
man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let
not the rich man glory in his riches: But let him that
glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth
and knoweth me, that I am the LORD which
exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and
righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight,
saith the LORD.
God IS
God. Those three little words, are the FIRST Commandment, and the Strait
Gate. God Can NOT Lie and God Does NOT Change, those are the two immutable
FACTS and TRUTHS upon which our faith is FIRMLY established. There is only
ONE God, The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit, these three, yet ONE, who
bear record in heaven since before creation.
One
can ONLY know the Father, through the Son, by the Holy Spirit. Therefore, we
MUST be born again. And YES, child of God, child of the world, child of the
flesh, child of the devil, YOU can be born again, AGAIN. Yes, born again,
AGAIN. Yes, IF, IF, and only IF, one can find, AND RECEIVE by FAITH, His
grace in REPENTING. Then one can be born again, AGAIN.
We are
saved 100% by God's grace through FAITH in the Sacrifice which the Lord
Jesus Christ, Yeshua THE Messiah, made as the
Lamb of God. Jesus Christ died for SINNERS. Saints are Redeemed REPENTANT
Sinners.
All,
ALL, all, have sinned, including the Virgin Mary, and ALL, are in need of
THE Savior, Yeshua. Even the Virgin Mary said
so. Yeshua means SALVATION, (Yeshua
= Hebrew word meaning Salvation), to the Jew first, and also to the
Gentiles.
Jesus
Christ IS Come in the Flesh. Yeshua THE Messiah
is the I AM, the Hayah, the I AM who spoke to
Moses from the burning bush. The Lord Jesus Christ is BOTH the Creator and
the Redeemer. Anyone knowing a Yeshua who is not
BOTH Creator and Redeemer, would do just as well in their religion, with
faith in Harvey the six foot
invisible rabbit.
Faith
works by LOVE. Faith does not work by feigned affection, or natural human
emotion, which should be brought under the self-control fruit of the Spirit.
We are saved 100% by God's grace through FAITH. Therefore we need REAL FAITH
and not phony baloney FAITH. Real FAITH and ONLY Real FAITH honors God, Who
IS LOVE. That is why
FAITH works by LOVE, and not by feigned affection, or natural human emotion.
The 10
Commandments are God's 10 Simple instructions in Real Genuine Love. The
first four teach how to love God and the other six teach us how to love our
neighbor in reality and truth. Antinomians, meaning opposed or against the
law, have been heretic throughout the history of the church. Even IF the
VAST majority of used to be, or self- professed Christians, are antinomian,
they are still heretics. A heresy does not stop being a heresy because the
majority believes the heresy. We should in fact
expect this in the last days when we are clearly told there will be a great
falling away from the faith
because people do not love the TRUTH. What is the TRUTH - the Word of God is
the TRUTH - The KJV Holy Bible - and that is the only way we have to prove
the truth.
The
GJiGT has revealed the identity of the
antichrist clearly, according to the 57 details of
identity given in the KJV Holy Bible. We should therefore expect the
majority to be embracing antinomianism and many other heresies in this time.
2
Th 2:9-12 Even him, whose coming is after the
working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all
deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received
not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for
this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a
lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had
pleasure in unrighteousness.
God
did not make such a great sacrifice, sending His ONLY Begotten Son to be our
Passover, sacrificed on Wednesday, Nissan 14, in 30AD, outside the gates of
Jerusalem, to give us a license or excuse to sin. The sacrifice of
Yeshua gives the best reason to STOP sinning,
and live in freedom from sin. Yeshua is the Holy
Spirit Baptizer, who gives His Holy Spirit of Truth, to make us HOLY, by
giving us the power to say NO to sin, and to love the Truth.
Yeshua
THE Messiah did die on that cross on Wednesday, Nissan 14, in 30AD. Three
days and nights later, on the Sabbath, sometime before dark Saturday, He was
resurrected from that very real sacrificial death as the Lamb of God on the
cross of Calvary. Yes, Jesus Christ died for SINNERS. The sacrifice of the
Cross, though foolishness to those who are perishing, is the power of God to
those who are being saved
by His grace through FAITH. We do NOT make void the law of God by Faith,
real faith will establish the Law of God. Rom 3:31
The
Lord Jesus Christ will return to this earth SOON, in our lifetime. Between
now and then, His SAINTS will endure 42 months when this antichrist world
makes war on the saints. Think it not strange, that so much of the
tribulation now coming upon His saints, comes
from those who used to be Christian and even think they are serving God by
persecuting His Saints. John 16:1-3
There
is NO pre-tribulation rapture. That day will come upon the WORLD as a thief;
but, God's people are supposed to KNOW, and not be ignorant of that day
being upon them. – I Thes 5:4. The Rapture, the
Resurrection, and the Return of the Lord, is a single event to occur, when
God said, immediately AFTER the tribulation, on the LAST Day,
at the Last Trump, at the END. (Matt 24:29, Mat 24:13, Mark 13:13, John
6:39, 40, 44, & 54, John 16:33, Rom 8:17, 1 Cor
15:52, James 5:11). Yes, there is only ONE first resurrection.
Even
if one does not know the Word of God, it should be obvious that it is better
to be preparing for the tribulation and be surprised by the rapture, than it
does to be preparing for the rapture, and be surprised by the tribulation.
Ministers of the truth of the Word of God should love you enough to tell you
that plain simple truth of the Word of God.
There
is not one single verse in the bible, IN CONTEXT that teaches
pre-tribulation rapture. The KJV Holy Bible clearly teaches that in this
world YE SHALL have tribulation. The antichrist is given power to wage war
on the SAINTS, and to overcome them, for the 42 months immediately BEFORE
the resurrection, rapture, and return of the Lord Jesus Christ. Your
knowledge of the Word of God is NOT good, IF you
believe in a pre-trib rapture, or that there are
DIFFERENT Holy Bibles. It should be obvious to all God's children why the
REAL Holy Bible is so important to Real Faith. Rom 10:17 So then faith
cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Sadly,
the strong delusion, of antichrist flattery has overtaken the many vain
self-proclaimed scholars, rabbis, and the vast majority of used-to-be
Christians, who need to be born again, AGAIN, and become as a CHILD to see,
enter, function, and stay in His Kingdom.
Luke
18:8 - I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the
Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?
REAL
FAITH is what honors God. Real faith hungers to KNOW what God said, in the
More Sure Word which is written, AND has DETERMINED, that it will DO what
God said, just because God said so. Faith works by Love.
John
14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.
John
14:21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth
them, he it is that
loveth me: and he that
loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I
will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
1 John
2:3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his
commandments.
1 John
2:4 He that saith, I know him, and
keepeth not his
commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
1 John
3:22 And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep
his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.
1 John
3:23 And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the
name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us
commandment.
1 John
3:24 And he that keepeth his commandments
dwelleth in him, and he
in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in
us, by the Spirit
which he hath given us.
1 John
5:2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love
God, and keep his commandments.
1 John
5:3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his
commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
2 John
1:6 And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This
is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye
should walk in it.
Rev
12:17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war
with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God,
and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
Rev
14:12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the
commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
Rev
22:14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have
right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into
the city.
Heresy is a self-chosen belief in opposition to the Holy Scriptures. That SELF is the key word in the identification of heresy and heretics. The Holy Bible makes very clear distinction between simple, uninformed, or ignorant heretics, and DAMNABLE heretics.
It should noted that BEFORE God did provide Himself, Messiah, as the Lamb of God, to take away the sin of the world, the Torah called for the death penalty for certain serious violations of the Law of God. The reason for this necessity, BEFORE the coming of the Kingdom of God, in the person of Messiah Yeshua, is that there was no other way to break, or limit the extent of the curse. Demonic license was gained through certain serious transgressions of the Law of God, and the demonic host gained a legal right to destroy the people of God. Through the power of the blood of Messiah, the Lamb of God, prophesied by Abraham and Moses, all curses may now be broken. Thus the need for the death penalty, for such things as gross sexual sin, false teachers, false prophets, and witches is not required. Their foot will slide in due time.
It should be understood that if a heresy becomes accepted by the majority, as being a true belief, that does NOT stop the heresy from being heresy. This is why the understanding of HERESY and how it should be dealt with by faithful remnant believers, is so important. The last days, we do know, will be marked by a world wide famine for hearing the Word of God. The last days of the antichrist war on the SAINTS is to be marked by a great apostasy, a great falling away from THE Faith. That means that heresy will be the majority belief, as the majority will depart from the FAITH.
2 Tim 4:3 For the time will come when they will not
endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves
teachers, having itching ears;
Titus 1:9-11 Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he
may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers.
For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of
the circumcision: Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses,
teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake.
2 Th 2:8-12 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
SELF-Chosen Beliefs that contradict or deny God Inspired revelations contained in, and easily confirmed by, the More Sure word of the Holy Bible, is the basis of defining heresy. The heretics oppose themselves, by self-chosen beliefs, in opposition to the Word of God. Often the heresy of the heretic may be the result of never having read the Holy Bible, or having been taught to believe error by a false teacher. Such simple heretics when confronted with the truth of the Scriptures, may be led by the Spirit of Truth and Holiness, to put aside their false beliefs in preference to the truth of the word of God. However, when the heretic is given the first admonition, often the demonic characteristics associated with many heresies, will manifest. That demonic spirit may be a spirit of rebellion, or a religious spirit, in addition to pride and envy. After the second admonition, the heretic - yes, even the simple heretic, is to be rejected.
As we look at what the Holy Bible says, there are different types or levels of heresy. In Acts 5:17, 15:5; and 26:5, it simply means a party or sect, or what we call a denomination. In Acts 24:14 and 28:22 it is used in a slightly derogatory sense, referring to Christians being separatists or sectarians, by the more mainstream majority of the Jewish rabbis.
Paul used the term heresies to refer to groups which threatened the harmony, and unity of the church. 1 Cor 11:19 For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you. The heresies described the disgraceful way in which the Corinthians were observing the Lord's Supper. Paul would sometimes use the term heresy as the source of factions or divisions. In Galatians 5:20 we are clearly told that heresy is one of the works of the flesh, in the list along with strife, seditions, and envyings. SELF really is the KEY word in understanding heresy. Invariably heretics are people who choose to place their own desires above the fellowship of their brethren, or even the love of the truth, as defined by the Word of God.
In Titus 3:10-11 we are given direction regarding heretics and how we are to deal with them. The context of these verses has to do with quarreling and dissensions. The FROWARD person will even invent things to separate brethren from one another. Heresy and factions go together. In God’s Kingdom there is no such thing as a little rebellion. Rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and obedience is better than sacrifice.
In 2 Peter 2:1 we see what the CLEAR Difference between heretics and DAMNABLE heretics involves. But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. The damnable heretic clearly refers to the false teachers or false prophets who DENY the TRUTH OF THE PERSON AND WORK OF MESSIAH. The damnable heretic is one who has left the doctrine of Christ. The damnable heretic does not recognize Yeshua the Messiah, as God, the Son. The damnable heretic is different from the simple heretic, or Jew, in that the damnable heretic has DEPARTED from the doctrine of Messiah. Most Jews, because of persecution by so-called Christians, have never really been exposed to the Doctrine of Messiah, or the Doctrine of the Apostles. Most Jews have NOT Departed from the Doctrine of Christ.
Heresy may have as much to do with fellowship within the church as it does with doctrinal teachings, if the heresy is NOT DAMNABLE heresy. Doctrine and actions are equally important. Wrong attitudes such as counterfeit religious spirits, and spirits of rebellion, and improper attitudes, are as important as the depth of understanding of what God has revealed to man. However in 2 John 7-11 we see that we are not even to say God Bless you, or bid God speed, and most certainly not give substance support, to the DAMNABLE heretic. In those few verses we also see precisely what defines the damnable heretic.
For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess NOT that Jesus Christ IS come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist. Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward. Whosoever transgresseth, and ABIDETH NOT in the doctrine of Christ, hath NOT God. He that ABIDITH in the doctrine of Christ, he hath BOTH the Father and the Son. If there come any unto you, and bring NOT this doctrine, receive him NOT into your house, neither bid him God speed: For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds. 2 John 7-11.
We see that the damnable heretic is one who has departed from the Doctrine of Christ, more so than one who had never had opportunity to know. Tragically, the vast majority of Jews do not know their own glorious Messiah, because of how they have been persecuted by so-called Christians, under the leadership of the black witchcraft Babylonian religion of Rome. Sadly the Protestants never protested this, and have often followed the lead of the heretic Roman Catholic Church.
The vast majority of Roman Catholics have never read the Holy Bible. The vast majority of Roman Catholics are in the same blindness of the pagans, heathen, Hindus, Muslims, Buddhists and other religions who are trying to find eternal life in a DIFFERENT Way other than the Doctrine of Messiah. The damnable heretic is one who has known, or had previously professed to know, the REAL Messiah, who is BOTH God and man, who is BOTH Creator and Redeemer, and now professes a Messiah who is less than fully God, and equal with the Father, in power, authority, and eternity. The damnable heretic now professes a different Jesus other than the REAL true Jesus Christ who is God the Son, the I AM, who spoke to Abraham, and Moses, who is BOTH Creator and Redeemer. The DAMNABLE Heretic professes faith in another Jesus, and another Gospel.
Gal 1:8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
Gal 1:9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
A sad reality today is, that within large Messianic congregations of over 100, one will generally find a small COVERT cell, within the congregation, who have another Messiah, who is NOT FULLY God who is come in the flesh. What they have is the powerful demon religious spirits, that go with the ground given by the age old Arian heresy, which is the Synagogue of Satan, with which all of the Apostles did earnestly contend. In the first century, there were Jewish Synagogues that did profess that Yeshua was the Messiah, while denying that He was God. This Hebrew spin of the common Jehovah Witness, or Christadelphia heresy is DEADLY and DAMNABLE Heresy.
That is part of the reason why the simple and yet powerful test of the Spirit is so important. Just ask them to say – Jesus Christ IS come in the flesh. Those in the secret and/or sacred name heresy groups will find that simple test of the spirit to be difficult. I have yet to see the Satanist who could pass that simple test without great difficulty. Many will say Yeshua did come in the flesh. Or Messiah has come in the flesh. Though true, that is still FAILING the simple test of the Spirit. The “IS Come” profession involves the acknowledgment that Jesus or Yeshua is fully God the I AM, who spoke to Abraham and Moses, who is BOTH Creator and Redeemer. If you find some Messianic rabbi today, who has the slightest hitch, or reluctance to boldly confess that “Jesus Christ IS COME in the flesh,” BEWARE. The more you apply that simple test of the spirit, the more you will be amazed at how effective and powerful that simple test of the spirit is, to remove the sheep’s clothing from the wolves. Jesus Christ IS Come in the flesh – that simple statement will disclose many subtle damnable heretics in these last days of Strong Delusion.
The Roman Catholic Church has killed and tortured literally millions of Jews and real Christians, people of the book. Now days the Vatican, which put Mohammed in the religion business, tries to maintain a VERY thick sheep’s cloak over the antichrist Luciferian goals of that MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. Sadly, the very vast majority of those in the bondage of the Roman Catholic Church, have no idea of the true bloody murderous history of that abominable church of Rome. They remain totally convinced that salvation is by the sacraments of the Roman Church and not by the grace of God through THE Faith of The Lord Jesus Christ.
This makes the Roman Catholic INQUISITIONS so particularly abhorrent. There is NO justification for killing the heretic, since the CROSS, and establishment of the Kingdom of God by the Messiah. The heretic should be rejected, marked, and not given Christian fellowship; but, that is the full extent of the duty and power of the Kingdom of Messiah. No more serious action was ever to be placed upon the heretic. The Roman Catholic Church still maintains that she has this power to kill those who will not follow Rome’s heresies. The pope has been the pre-eminent heretic in the world since the first pope, and Roman Emperor Constantine, and his court theologian, Eusebius, set up the Roman Catholic State Church of the Roman Empire, in the fourth century. In the seventh century Rome put the great heretic and false prophet Mohammed in the religion business, to kill Jews and Christians, people of the book, as the Koran calls them. It should be no surprise that the Muslims have no great problems with the Roman Catholics, because they are NOT people of the book, unlike Jews and real Christians. That is the religion of Islam, to kill and destroy the people of the book. The god of Vatican Rome, is the same as the god of Islam, and freemasonry, and all other false religions, LUCIFER.
It is right and proper to ask those who seek Christian fellowship - "Who is the Messiah, and how is He related to God? What did Yeshua do in His human life, and how did it come about that the Christian or Messianic believers give Him titles belonging to God?"
The cross must be explained. 1 Cor 1:18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. How Yeshua could be the Messiah was a great stumbling block to the Jews, because His death at the hands of the of the Roman political powers stood in direct and obvious contradiction to all that faithful Jews believed about the Messiah. The Jews expected Messiah to be glorious and God's expected Deliverer of His people. The Jews knew Deu 21:23 His body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but thou shalt in any wise bury him that day; (for he that is hanged is accursed of God;) that thy land be not defiled, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance. The Jew has a difficult time understanding anyone hanging on a tree, who died under God's curse, could be their glorious Messiah.
The answer may be seen in their scriptures like Psalm 118:22 and Isaiah 53, and Micah 5:2, and many other Messianic prophecies of the Hebrew scriptures. It is not possible to side step His direct claims to be the Messenger and embodiment of God's kingdom. His resurrection from that death on the cross; however, is the real answer. In the resurrection of Messiah, God had reversed this cursed death verdict, vindicated His Son, and installed Him in the place of highest honor, power, and authority.
The first Christian prayer of which we have any record is "Maranatha" which means, "our Lord, come." That most simple ancient prayer to the risen Lord, places Him in equality with Yahweh, Israel's covenant God, and worthy of the worship of men and angels.
1 Cor 16:22 If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema Maranatha.
Rom 10:9-13 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Also in relation to this most important issue of THE Faith is the final testimony of the first Christian martyr Steven:
Acts 7:55-59 But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God, And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God. Then they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and ran upon him with one accord, And cast him out of the city, and stoned him: and the witnesses laid down their clothes at a young man's feet, whose name was Saul. And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.
This is the shocking and unique message in the ONE TRUE FAITH of Abraham. It is The Faith of the One True Messiah Yeshua, who by His resurrection and enthronement at the right hand of the Majesty on high, is proven to be God the Son, as well as The ONLY Messiah. The "Son of man" who also is God the Son, is the head of a worldwide kingdom, far outstripping the narrow confines of Jewish hopes.
Some day SOON the veil which still remains over Jewish eyes when Moses is preached, will be removed. Such scriptures as the following will no longer be a stumbling block to the Jews but cause for their greatest rejoicing:
Phil 2:6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
Col 1:15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
Titus 2:13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;
John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
John 1:2 The same was in the beginning with God.
John 1:3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
Heb 1:1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
Heb 1:2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
Heb 1:3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
Heb 1:4 Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.
Those words of God faithfully inspired by the Holy Spirit of God as surely as God inspired Moses, do NOT compromise the belief that the God of Israel is ONE God. The roots of true Christianity are 100% Jewish. It was a full NINE YEARS AFTER the crucifixion and resurrection of Messiah, after THOUSANDS of Jews had become Messianic believers in Yeshua, as the I AM who spoke to Moses and Abraham, that the FIRST Gentile, Cornelius, was admitted into that company of Messianic Jewish believers. The Christian or Messianic inheritance is 100% Jewish in its roots and remains faithful to the Jewish patriarch’s central belief in ONE God, in a world of many false gods. In No way did those early believers in Messiah ever hold the view that Jesus was a rival God in competition with His Father. The worship of Jewish and Gentile believers in Messiah has always been properly directed to God who has revealed Himself once-for-all and uniquely in Messiah, the Son, who is BOTH God and man, as well as BOTH Creator and Redeemer. God the Father loves and honors and exalts His ONLY Begotten Son. The Messiah mirrors the perfect expression of the divine nature of the Father.
Belief in the Jewish Messiah Yeshua, is the most Jewish belief that any Jew could have. One day soon, the world will be ROCKED as God removes the veil from the eyes of the Jewish people, and they all, as a Nation, Look upon Him whom WE ALL have PIERCED by our sins. It will be exactly as the prophet of Israel, Zechariah, foretold.
Zec 12:10 And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.
Col 1:13-14 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:
2 Cor 4:4-6 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake. For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
For now let it suffice to say there are Damnable Heretics like Vendle Jones, and the Netzarim group, and others, who are seeking to traffic in the souls of men, in the modern Messianic movement. Christians who have been awakened to the truth of Jeremiah 16:19 need to BEWARE as you look into the Jewish roots of the Gospel. It is important to demand of any visiting Messianic rabbis, with unhesitating boldness confess – Jesus Christ IS Come in the flesh. If they do not want to say Jesus Christ – BEWARE. If they will not give a definite and absolute YES to the question – Do you believe that Jesus Christ is God? – Beware and MARK them. Some of these damnable Messianic rabbi wolves, are very slick and hard to pin down. Demand a yes or no, to the simple question - Do you believe that Jesus Christ is God the Son who is BOTH Creator and Redeemer.
