Christian Study

The enemy of Christ has spent a lot of time making up and teaching false doctrines.

Another false doctrine has come about easily because we have a Matriarchal society today. The world is upside down. God’s Kingdom is Patriarchal. Everything that is politically correct has invaded the churches. Women rule most churches today. Even if all the elders of a congregation are men, very often the leadership is actually from the feminist wives of those men.

Patriarchy is disdained. The churches are out of order with God. Christ is our head. Under Christ are Patriarchal men. Not next to, but under the men’s protection are the women and children. Scripturally this is called Coverature.

Coverature is an almost forgotten scriptural principle. It is a simple study, but one will need to dig into the Hebrew word meaning to get all of it. The Hebrew word translated uncleanness in Deuteronomy 24:1 means nudity. It is a lack of coverature by the husband or the wife has removed herself from his coverature. It is a lack respect.

Women leading and teaching in the churches today is sin. Very few men are brave enough to take back God’s plan for his church from their wives. One of the problems is the unscriptural government marriage contracts.

If you teach that God’s Law is done away, then you teach that God has abandoned His order for the church and Godly society.

The enemy of Christ has spent a lot of time making up and teaching false doctrines. One of their favorites is the idea that God’s Law is done away. It is the old trick of Balaam. If you remember Balaam could not curse Israel. He really wanted the money that Balak King of the Moabites was offering. So he came up with another plan that the daughters of the Midianites were able to perform. They lured Israel into violating God’s Law and thus God punished Israel.

It is a good proof for God’s Law today. All one has to do is to read scripture that shows what happens when we disobey God’s Law and compare it to today. It is very obvious.

The whole concept of no law was introduced into the churches in the last 300 years. An English grammar teacher who knows how to diagram sentences can show the truth of Matthew 5:17 when the word definitions are not changed to suit the false doctrine.

Luke 24:44 “And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.”

Truth is often hidden by those who twist the scriptures for their own benefit. Getting Christians to ignore God’s Law is the most basic heresy. Grace does not exist without Law.

The Parable of the Ten Virgins in Matthew 25 teaches us that about half of all the brides, biblical Christians, are not going to be ready for the return of the bridegroom, Christ. Their oil, or wisdom of the bible is going to be lacking. The first thought will be to run to the merchant or paid preacher, but he won’t know any more than they do. He has been teaching what he was taught, a failed Christ, a God who broke His promises and went off after some other bride known as Gentiles.

The world is upside down, not the Kingdom of God. God through His prophets and Word made many promises to a real physical people. God has kept every promise.

The world teaches about some people who call themselves Jews who hate Christ and some second choice people who will leave this world and let those who hate Christ have the world. It is everything those who hate Christ want. None of this is what the bible teaches. The English translations have been slowly modified over the years to support the world’s view.

In the Hebrew and Greek there is unity of faith and doctrine. Scripture shows us that God loves His bride so much that He came and died for her sins. As promised to King David, God moved His bride to a new promised land. She has followed Christ and heard His voice for the last almost 2000 years as Christ said. As scripture teaches, she is the true physical Israel. God did not change brides between covenants.

If you want to be a better prepared bride in waiting for the bridegroom then follow Christ’s commands. There are nine verses that teach this and two of them tie it to faith in Christ.

John 14:15 “If ye love me, keep my commandments.”

Hebrews 10:16 “This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them”.

Christ is God. God is also Christ. They are one God. God’s commandments are Christ’s commandments.

Isaiah 43:11 “I, I am Yahweh; and beside me there is no savior.”
John 10:30 “I and my Father are one.”

The modern day Jews are not, and have never been, God’s Israel people as proven by the bible, history and even Jewish writings.

There are some who teach another false doctrine. Everyone must come to Jesus to be saved, except for the Jews. They have another way to God. Of course that is no where found in scripture. It is pure fantasy of the worst kind.

John 5:45-47 “Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust. 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?”

Christ told the Edomite Jewish leaders that they could not hear His voice nor believe Him because they did not believe Moses. A second witness is Paul talking about the schoolmaster. When you received your degree, did you throw away all your books and try to forget all that you had learned at school? No! Rather you used all that you had learned in your new job. The same goes for the schoolmaster who brought us unto Christ. We use what the school master taught us.

Galatians 3:24 “Wherefore the law has become our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.”

There are two witnesses, Christ and Paul talking about the importance of believing Moses, believing the Law, in order to know Christ. According to John 1:1, Christ is the Law incarnate.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

So they say the Jews claim Moses, but refuse Christ. We know that is not scriptural. Now we have another problem. There are those who claim Christ but refuse Moses. Go back and read the two verses. One can not refuse the Law and know Christ or hear His voice. Refusing God’s Law is this exactly. Maybe this is one of the reasons so much false doctrine is believed in the world. People refuse God’s Law.

A police officer is about to give you a speeding ticket, but he tears it up. He just gave you a form of Grace. Could he have done that if there was no law about speeding?

The word grace is found all through the old and new testaments. Reading through those verses I saw that grace was most often associated with those who obeyed God’s Law. There is no verse that says grace has replaced the Law of God. Grace can not exist without the Law of God.

I would love to go to church. I could go if I ignored most teaching from the pulpit and classes. Ignoring the false doctrines and just plain incorrect information would make me just as guilty as those who teach them. When I point out what the Greek really says, there is usually some hostility and confusion.

For example an Elder in a church of Christ in Tennessee started his Sunday morning class with the statement, “There was no law before Moses.” I raised my hand and quoted Genesis 26:5. He obviously did not know that verse. He then tried to start the same phrase again. My wife raised her hand and actually read the verse. Someone in the class stopped him and said, “We need to deal with what they said.” The class was confused and in distress. I said something that calmed everyone down and the Elder continued his lesson without making the same error as a direct statement. I destroyed his lesson with one bible verse. He was not happy and the verse had no effect whatsoever with his belief on the matter. His lesson was based on a lie, but it is all he knew. He did not come up to me and talk to me at all. There was no offer to help or even a question to me about what we said. Nothing. He avoided me.

So, yes I could have ignored it or handled it differently, but what was wrong with telling the truth? It could have been sin to not say anything.

So let me show that the Law of God was before Moses.

The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil represented the Law of God. What does God’s Law do? It teaches us what is good and what is evil. Paul validates this in Romans.

Romans 7:7 “What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.”

Here is the versse I quoted to the Elder.

Genesis 26:5 “Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.”

Have you ever noticed how John describes Christ?

John 1:1 “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”

What was the Word of God at the time John wrote that verse? It was the Law and the Prophets. Christ is the Law of God, the Word. Getting rid of the Law of God, gets rid of Christ and the new covenant.

Hebrews 10:16 “This [is] the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them”.

Those who teach the Law of God is done away ignore Matthew 5:17-18 and change one word definition to help. Matthew 5:17-18 is a complex sentence and some seem to have a hard time understanding it with today’s poor education system.

Matthew 5:17-18 “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.”

They change the fulfil in verse 17 to mean end, when it just means satisfy. What did Christ fulfil?

Luke 24:44 “And he said unto them, These [are] the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and [in] the prophets, and [in] the psalms, concerning me.”

Did you get that? Christ fulfilled or satisfied what the Law and the Prophets said concerning Christ. Simply that. Last time I looked heaven and earth are still here.

It has happened in a class where the teacher said that we are all adopted into the church or Kingdom of God. I then explained in a “by the way” fashion that the word as we understand adoption is not found in the new testament. The adoption mentioned all five times in scripture is a word that means “adoption of sons”. That is adoption of those who were sons from birth. It was a coming of age ceremony. At the age of accountability in scripture, age twenty, young men would become eligible to inherit and were officially considered a man of the family. As scripture explains until that time the child was considered as one of the hired hands.

Galatians 4:1 “Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all”.

Paul said that the adoption belongs only to Israel.

Romans 9:4 “Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises”.

Much of the problem in churches today is that preachers and teachers are not really trained in bible knowledge. They are trained in church doctrine. They are given a short explanation that can include ridicule to deal with any dissent. Literally the Elder’s response was his blank stare after I and my wife quoted a verse that directly mentions God’s Law at the time of Abraham.

So yes, one can go to church, but can you stand before God blameless after hearing and not speaking with all of the false doctrine being taught.

It is very rare that I get into this area. I do not plan to often, but in this case it was an opportunity to show some benefits of God’s Law.

The Obamanation: Would never have been president. He is not a Christian. It is a violation of God’s Law to have someone of another people rule over us.

Borders: Closed. There are many verses hidden in the Greek text including 2 Corinthians 6:17. (The context is people, not things.)

“Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate (to set off by boundary), saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean; and I will receive you”.

Language: English Isaiah 28:11, Zephaniah 3:9. English is derived from Hebrew and uses many of the same idioms.

Culture: The same as the founding fathers who signed the declaration and said, “We the People of the United States… to ourselves and our Posterity”. No other people were intended. Only the people who had been Christians for almost 2000 years.

Drug Free: God gave us Health Laws and all herbs for our benefit. There would be no prescription drugs. Prescription drugs must legally include some poison. A common one for weight loss includes Gila Monster venom. Many shots include King Cobra venom and other toxins including DNA from aborted children. Poisons work by damaging one part of your body to get better test numbers on another part of your body.

No Welfare:

2 Thessalonians 3:10 “For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.”

Anyone capable who refuses to work does not eat. No one starves either. God’s economy feeds those in need.

No Freebies, Balanced Budget and no taxes. As I understand it for most of us it is free will offering. Those who actually produce a product and see a profit would pay a tithe. There would be no term limits needed as all the Law we need is already in place.

Unfortunately most people have been taught that this is all somehow evil or that God’s Law is not good enough to do the job or that somehow God did away with His morals and only man’s laws can save us. How have man’s laws worked for us so far?

While the constitution was not terrible, it left out one very important part. All it gave us was a vague statement about a creator and inalienable rights. It never once mentioned Jesus Christ and although many state constitutions did, most of them have been modified to remove that. If Christ had been mentioned in the Bill of Rights and Constitution, it would have been much more difficult to remove. As it is today, those who hate Christ are pretending that those who want this to be a Christian nation again are the one’s trying to change or destroy their “demonocracy”.

I come from a religious group that teaches that God’s Law is done away. They say we are now just under grace. Actually we are called to Keep His Commandments.

Matthew 19:17 “And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.”

John 14:15 “If ye love me, keep my commandments.”

John 15:10 “If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love.”

1 John 2:3 “And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.”

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 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.”

Revelation 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.”

Revelation 14:12 “Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.”

Notice that the last verse connects the commandments of God with faith in Jesus. Which of you think that this can be ignored?

The Christian world has come up with some creative ways to avoid God’s Law and pretend that Grace can exist without Law. New Testament onlyer’s say that the Law of the old scary God is done away and now they just have Christ’s Law based on the new loving God. No one can list off the new laws. It is another aspect of preacher/elder control of the congregation.

Many of the Ten Commandments are repeated in Romans, but it allows them to get rid of those pesky Health Laws and the Sabbath. The translators made sure to translate Hebrews 4:9 in a way to hide its true meaning. Most preachers are trained to tell those who notice that it doesn’t really mean that.

In order to deal with all of Paul’s promotion of the Law and the relationship of God and Israel, they spiritualize a lot of verses in the bible. It allows the preacher to make any verse fit the church doctrine and with enough tangling the world. Churches came up with this elaborate story how God just couldn’t get His people to follow the new and better God. The truth is thousands and thousands of Israel became Christians. The leaders of the day who admitted they were not Israelites, but enemies in John 8 started the persecution. Spiritualizing allows a lot of evil to be normal in churches.

Few realize that getting rid of God’s Law destroys the new covenant and Christ as well.

We only worship one God, not two or three. Christ and God are one.

John 10:30 I and my Father are one.

Isaiah 43:11 I, I am Yahweh; and beside me there is no savior.

If the Law of God is done away there is no new covenant.

Hebrews 10:16 “This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them”.

Without God’s Law we would not know sin. Notice the Grammar and the use of the word is, not was in the following.

Romans 7:7 “What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.”

God’s law is a part of His word and must be included in defining Him. God’s morals are found in his law.

God does not change. His morality does not change. I like to tell people that what was sin the day The Adam was placed in the garden is still sin today. What is sin today was sin that very same day. God can not change. To change what is right and wrong from one day to the next or even from one covenant to the next changes God into another god. A god who changes what is right and wrong can not be counted on for stability. He would not be reliable and thus not much of a god.

Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.

So what does scripture say about the Tree of the knowledge of Good and Evil? Eating of the tree made one know about Good and Evil. The Law of God does the same thing. It teaches one what is good and what is evil. The tree represented the Law of God.

One time in a Sunday bible class an Elder of the church stood up and began his lesson by saying, “There was no Law before Moses.” So I raised my hand and quoted Genesis 26:5.

“Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.”

Abraham knew God’s Law. The Book of Jasher says that Abraham grew up learning God’s Law. Noah and Shem taught Moses God’s Law. Scripture also tells us that Noah knew God’s Law. He had to know it in order to load the correct number of animals on to the ark.

God’s Law represents God’s morals. They are a part of God. God does not change.

However as the book of Hebrews shows there were laws added at the time of Moses in the desert. Those are the Laws that were added due to transgression. Christ is covering those requirements for us now. Christ is our high priest and our sacrifice.

Of course as most new testament Christians would say now that was all the old testament. They say that the Law is done away and that we are under grace. Well grace is not a new testament only concept as shown in the past. If the Law of God is done away, then so is the new covenant. Here is the new covenanent.

Hebrews 10:16 “This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them”.

This is a quote from Jeremiah 31:33. The entire quote is repeated in Hebrews 8:8-10 yet most Christians have no idea that the covenant and the Law are dependent on each other. Get rid of the Law of God and there is no new covenant.
