I want to tell you right now: That is the way Satan will deceive
the world in these last days. He will adulterate the word of
God. Enter into churches and dilute the doctrine. Confuse people
because they have not the truth in whole to stand on. It will
cause divisions and strife and dissention. The ultimate end
to all this is you will end up in hell even though you have
lived your entire life thinking you have done the right thing.
Proverbs 14:12 There is a way which seemeth
right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
We would also like to say to you please don’t hide behind
your religion, it cannot save you. It has absolutely nothing
to do with your salvation. Have you ever read in Matthew what
the Lord is saying about religious people? Mat. 23:24
Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat and swallow a camel.
25 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!
(Notice the exclamation mark, I don’t see too many of
these in the bible.) By the way, we are reading from a King
James Bible. Continued: 25 For ye make clean
the outside of the cup and platter, but within they are full
of extortion and excess. 26 Thou blind Pharisee,
cleanse first that which is in the cup and platter, that the
outside of them may be clean also. 27 Woe unto
you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like whited
sepulchres which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are full
of dead men’s bones, and of all uncleanness.
Remember in the last days of the early church there was apostasy;
it was religion. Read your bible and see, don’t take my
word for it. The religious system of that day had the Lord put
to death. Pilate could find no fault with Him. John
19:15 But they cried out, Away with him, crucify him.
Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief
priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.
If you are in a Church that teaches you to keep the law to
be saved you need to get out of it. Please read these carefully
and see for yourself. Galatians 3:10 For as
many as are under the works of the law are under a curse: for
it is written, Cursed is everyone that continueth not in all
things which are written in the book of the law to do them.
Do you see what this is saying? It says if you are under the
law that a curse abides on you! Gal. 3:11 But
that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it
is evident: for, The just shall live by faith. Gal.
3:24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring
us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. 25
But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.
Please remember this verse. Gal. 4:9 But know
after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how
turn you again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto
ye desire again to be in bondage? Can you see what Paul says
about the law here? He calls it weak and beggarly. God’s
grace has moved the law out of the way and you are no longer
under it. It doesn’t matter if your Church has been established
for two hundred years. If they are teaching you to do works
and keep the law, you are under a curse.
If that is not enough, read this... Galatians 5:4
Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are
justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace. People, this
is serious. I pray God show you the truth in these passages.
I have watched people all my life go to Church and try to keep
the 10 commandments to be saved. The only person that ever kept
the Law was Jesus Christ. How can YOU top that? You cannot keep
the law. The law was given to condemn you, not to save you.
Get away from it; accept what Jesus Christ has done for you
at Calvary. Plus or minus nothing...
There are Churches growing by leaps and bounds today according
to the televangelists. How can that be? If they are not teaching
the Word of God, rightly divided? It is because the Church is
going into apostasy. I realize that there are many grace churches
out there who believe the Words that we have shown you today.
I am not talking about those. This next verse shows that people
or false teachers were entering the church and destroying it.
Gal. 5:10 I have confidence in you through
the Lord, that ye will be none other wise minded: but he that
troubleth you shall bear his judgment, whosoever he be.
The Galatians were established in the Lord and then later on
people started using the law and ordinances to bring them back
under bondage. Paul was very upset about it and wrote them this
letter. Gal. 3:1 O Foolish Galatians, who hath
bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose
eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among
you?
If you have time, read the book of Galatians. Also, if you
can read the book of Ephesians. If you are looking for solid
ground to stand on while witnessing to a loved one or anyone.
I pray God will give you the courage and the strength to build
others in the faith. Be of one mind and let there be no divisions
among you. Time is short, we must teach while we can.
Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem.
Michael
