DON'T LET THE DEVIL DECEIVE YOU!




Dear Followers, this Post started as a response to a comment to my last Post The Devil Deceiveth the Whole World the sentiments encapsulated in the two responses from the commenter is the central theme of the error of Modern-Day Christendom. Herein is my response to the errant theology of man.

I see you are still persistent in saying that all Scriptures in the Holy Bible "are not for us today". Even though Jesus says, “He does not change” . What are you saying? Is it that, “The law is no more”, or that, “The law was only for Moses and the Prophets?

First off, Moses had no law. It is not the Law of Moses, it is the Law of the Lord. As for the congregation, Israel is the Church that was in the days of Moses, Acts 7:37-38. That same church (Israel) is the congregation of the Lord, 1 Chronicles 28:8.

Even before Jesus was born the Angel told Mary that she would have a son and He would sit on the throne of His father David, and shall reign over the house of Jacob (Israel) for ever, Luke 1:26-33.
Israel is the congregation, and if you want your salvation, you must do all the things that Israel did, whose father was Abraham, John 8:39, and what did faithful Abraham do? He kept the Lord’s commandments, statues and laws, Genesis 26:5. Yet you say the Law is no more; that we are under grace.


If Israel is not the Church, please show me one Prophet or Apostle, or King, or Priest, that was not an Israelite! As for the son that was stoned to death for disobedience, Deuteronomy 21:18-21, and the people that made the Golden calf, while Moses was up on Mount Sinai with the Lord, Genesis 32:1-35, and worshipped the calf; three thousand men died that day, and there are many more stories like that.

However, today people pay no attention. Take for example, the children of Israel found a man gathering sticks on the Sabbath Day, they brought him to Moses because they did not know what to do with him. The Lord said unto Moses, “The man shall be put to death, Numbers 15:32-36. For that is what the Lord told Moses in Exodus 31:14.

Now the reason that these things were done, was for our example, 1 Corinthians 10:1-7. If you were to keep reading in 1 Corinthians 10, you see that there were many examples of the children of Israel being disobedient. See, because a son is disobedient today, or one pollutes the Sabbath, and is not put to death, just know, that they are not getting away, they are just getting by until the Lord comes.

Remember when the scribes and Pharisees brought a woman to Jesus, whom they had caught in adultery, in the very act, John 8:1-18. They quoted to Him the Law of Moses, really God’s Law, Leviticus 20:1, 10. The law stated that the woman should be stoned, however, Jesus told them, “He who is without sin among you, let him cast the first stone.” You see, we all sin and are unclean. That is why people are not put to death.

Remember what Jesus told the woman when her accusers were all convicted in their own hearts, and went their separate ways? He told the woman, “Go and sin no more”, which is a warning that we all should take very seriously. The Lord gave a parable of the Wheat and Tares, Matthew 13:24-30, :36-42, in which the Lord said “Let the tares and the wheat grow together, and that He would separate them at the harvest”, which is the end of the world; the White Throne Judgment.

The "Wheat" is the good seed and the "Tares" are the children of the wicked one. The enemy that sowed them is the Devil. That is why people that do not keep the Sabbath, or dietary laws, or honor and keep the Lord’s Holy Days, and say that that “the law is no more”, are the tares of this world and the Lord and His Angels will separate them at the harvest (Judgment Day).

These same Scriptures, that you say are not for us today, are the same ones that will be a witness against all the people which say that these Scriptures “are not for us”, Revelation 20:12, 15. As for the books that were opened, the Bible is the “books”, and the “other book” is the Lamb’s Book of Life. The Scriptures say, “…and the dead were judged out of the things which are written in the books, according to their works”. Now, I ask are you wheat, or a tare that is just getting by, but not getting away??

Oh, by the way, the Body of Christ is Israel – the Church! God’s word was good then; all of it is good for us today.

Peace,
Bro Tyrone
