A false minister
w #moved_from_grace ill
make you think of sin every week or so in church, putting a burden
upon you greater than that which
was upon those under the laws of the Old
Testament:.Hebrews
10:3 "But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of
sins every year.".
They may make you think
that to work on your sins, you need to sacrifice by taking time away from
sin and instead, study God's word, praying to overcome your sins, the sins
already done away by Christ. Like hello! Who is behind the deception
you may have received?.Galatians
3:1.
Could it be one of the subtle.tricks
of the dark side to lead you away from the truth in Christ, the truth about
what
was the purpose of your coming here?.Hebrews
10:17,18 "And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more. Now
where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.(why?
verse 10,12,14 just below). Having
therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of
Emmanuel." Colossians 1:13 "Who
has delivered us from the power of darkness and has translated us into
the kingdom of his dear Son." Hebrews
10:6 "In...sacrifices for sin you have had no pleasure." 2Corinthians
5:18,19 "...of God who has reconciled us to himself by Emmanuel
Christ and has given to us the ministry of reconciliation; To
wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling
the world unto himself, not imputing
their trespasses unto them and has committed unto us the word of reconciliation.".Reconciliation
involves awakening.
Who has been the counselor
to the Creator to change
things? Romans
11:34 "For who has known the mind of the Lord? or who has been his
counselor?"
Hebrews
10:10,12,14 "By the which will we are sanctified
through the offering of the body of Emmanuel the Christ
once for all...But
this man, after he had offered one sacrifice
for sins
for ever, sat down on the right hand of God...For by one
offering he has
perfected for ever them
that are sanctified."
Isaiah 53:6
"...the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all."
We all believe in one Christ,
yet
we have differing doctrines and some doctrines put you under a curse:.James
3:11,12 "Out of the same mouth proceeds blessing and cursing. My brethren,
these things ought not so to be. Does a fountain send forth at the same
place sweet water and bitter? Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive
berries? Either a vine, figs? So can no fountain both yield salt water
and fresh.".One
is either in or out of the ego level.
Paul
talks of an alternate gospel. What was happening?.Galatians
3:1-3 "O foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you, that you should
not obey.(original
Greek is 'not being continually persuaded of').the
truth, before whose eyes Emmanuel the Christ has been evidently
set forth,
crucified among you? This only
would I learn of you: Received you the
Spirit by the works
of the law or by the hearing of faith?.(was
it working to get it or was it that
hearing the words and they they just 'fit with you'?.Resonation).Are
you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you now made
perfect by the flesh?"
Paul
here equates
the works of the law as trying to get and keep right with the Creator by
the self.(which
is the flesh; which is using one's own understanding apart
from the Creator's guidance to find a spiritual path, when so much
time could be saved if one had knowledge of the
way).apart
from the true spiritual gift of the
righteousness
of Emmanuel the Christ. Why?.Romans
8:7 "Because the carnal mind is enmity against God. For it is not subject
to the law of God, neither indeed can be." 1Corinthians
3:1,3 "And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual,
but as unto carnal,
even as unto
babes in Christ...For you
are yet carnal. For whereas there is among you envying and strife and
divisions,
are you not carnal and walk as men?"
Jude too!.Jude
1:3 "...that you should earnestly contend.(original
'as though in a contest, a race, where you are in it to win it').for
the faith which was once delivered unto the saints."
God calls us righteous,
but some were sliding from this:.Isaiah
42:6,7 "I the Lord have called you in.(word
'in' not in original).righteous
and will hold your hand and will keep you and give you for a covenant
of the people, for a light of the Gentiles,
to open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison and
them
that sit in darkness out of the prison house."
Some true believers were
backsliding
from the faith that they had originally received. What they were starting
to believe was different from the grace of Christ into which they were
originally called:.Galatians
1:6,7 "I marvel that you are so soon removed from him that called you
into the grace of Christ unto another gospel. Which is not another.(just
a perverted one), but there be some
that trouble you and would pervert
the gospel of Christ."
This was making Christ ineffective
in them and if He's ineffective in you so are the
promises that are in Him:.Romans
4:14,16 "For if they which are of the law be heirs.(can't
be an
heir to the kingdom by adhering
to Old Testament law),
faith is made void and the promise made of none effect. Therefore it is
of faith, that it might be by grace, to the end the promise might be
sure to all the seed, not
to that only which is of the law.(those
brought up under the law; which were the Jews at that time),
but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham.(anyone,
including all Gentiles
{those not Jewish}), who is the father
of us all."
Mark 7:13 "Making
the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which you have delivered
and many such like things do you."
After awhile one may become
disappointed wondering where the promises of the Creator are for one's
life. Inaccurate information as to the truth can do this:.Galatians
5:4,7-10 "Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you
are justified by the law.(those
who feel that they have to keep part of the ancient Mosaic Law to be pleasing
to their Creator; relating to the Creator by other than His Son gets one
nowhere:.Romans
5:15:."...the grace of God and the gift by grace, which is by one man,
Emmanuel the Christ, has abounded unto many.").
You are fallen from
grace...You did run well. Who did hinder you that you should not obey
the truth? This persuasion comes not of him that calls you. A little leaven
leavens the whole lump. I have confidence in you through the Lord, that
you will be none otherwise minded, but he that troubles you shall bear
his judgment, whosoever he be." 1Corinthians
1:17 "For Christ sent me not to baptize,
but to preach the gospel, not with wisdom of words lest the cross of Christ
should be made of none effect."
