The issue was settled by the Lord when He did away with all of “that Jewish stuff,” as the Old Testament is known by that which calls itself the New Testament Church which is comprised of two conflicting, contradicting, contending halves–Catholicism and Protestantism–known as “the church.”  In spite of the numerous beliefs and practices that separate them, there is one “Bible truth” on which they wholeheartedly agree: THE OLD TESTAMENT WAS NAILED TO THE CROSS OF JESUS CHRIST.  Which is true.  The question is: WHO WIELDED THE HAMMER?

By studying the Holy Bible using the method God commands (Isa. 28:9-13) we find that it was Satan, using “the church” as his instrument of mass deception (Mat. 24:4,5), who nailed the teachings of the Old Testament prophets to the cross.  It was the church that nullified God’s Law and substituted Satan’s “doctrines of devils” (1 Tim. 4:1).  It was the church that declared the Old Testament null and void and their various options the true word of God.  And they were right.  The problem is that it is the “god of this world” (Satan)–2 Cor. 4:4–who sold them on his new and improved way to salvation.  As he did to Adam and Eve, he has done to their descendants, with extremely rare exception (Mat. 7:13,14).  By doing away with the Law, man awarded himself the power of self-direction.  As did Adam and Eve, the Institutional Church gave herself the power to determine good and evil and still live forever, the promise the Serpent gave to our original parents and to billions of salvation seekers ever since.  As Jesus prophesied in Matthew 7:13,14, the masses of such seekers have chosen Satan’s way, believing it is God’s way.  For starters they did away with “… the Law and the (teachings of) the prophets” which Jesus proclaimed that He did not come to do (Mat. 5:17; 26:56).  The church has taken it upon herself to do it in spite of His, the prophets and the apostles’ words.

In spite of the New Testament teachings which proves her actions to be sins of the highest order, she continues to practice sins that have engrained themselves into multiplied billions of Scripturally ignorant, unwitting, proud, Satan serving church members over the past 1900 years.  At present there are approximately 2.5 billion such counterfeit Christians populating the earth.  It is to the fake church that this website was designed by God to teach “all of the counsel (Word) of God” (Acts 20:27) which is “ABLE to make them WISE UNTO SALVATION through FAITH (in His Word) which is in Christ Jesus because ALL (OLD AND NEW) SCRIPTURE WAS GIVEN BY INSPIRATION OF GOD, AND IS PROFITABLE FOR (FORMING) DOCTRINE, FOR REPROOF (POINTING OUT ERRORS IN DOCTRINE), FOR CORRECTION (OF DOCTRINAL ERRORS) AND FOR INSTRUCTION (TRAINING) IN RIGHTEOUSNESS ….” which is necessary for salvation.

One of the doctrinal errors the Holy Spirit points out and corrects involves the church’s attitudes and practices relative to the Holy Days of the Lord.  Satan has deceived professing Christendom (Rev. 12:9) into nailing them to Christ’s cross.  She then insults God by refusing to hear or read His written reproof of her error, refusing to receive His Scriptural correction relative to the error, and refusing to receive His instruction which would lead her to righteousness, thereby making her eligible for eternal life.  Those in Satan’s church maintain this attitude because he has convinced them that they know everything they need to know, which is that God nailed His eternal, “holy, just and good” (Rom. 7:12) Law to the cross.  Having spent almost half of my life in that “unclean thing” (2 Cor. 6:17), I can speak from first hand experience, as did the Prophet Jeremiah who, having become frustrated that the people were not listening to him, complained to the Lord, Who told him to tell them His Truth anyway.  Which is what He told me to do when I lodged the same complaint.  Then I “just happened” to be in the right place at the exact right time to overhear a conversation between two men who were discussing a newspaper article I had written.  The men did not know who I was.  I said nothing to them but thanked the Lord profusely for allowing me to hear their conversation, which told me that my ministry was having a positive effect.  They obviously did not like what they had read, but that was expected.  The fact that there was a reaction was enough to assure me that I was doing what the Almighty wanted me to do.  I NEVER expect anyone to believe what I say or write.  Havin been part of that false religion, and even preached most of its doctrines and practiced most of its customs, I understand.  I thank God daily for His patience with me as He gradually brought me to that which I now preach and preach against.

One of the things I am supposed to do is to remind professing Christendom of what God concerning the place of the Old Testament in the life of the New Testament Church.  In Ephesians 2:20 Paul wrote that the New Testament Church was founded on the teachings of the OLD TESTAMENT PROPHETS and the New Testament apostles.  Note that both testaments form the foundation of God’s tiny, hated, persecuted and rejected church.  Paul told Timothy the evangelist that ALL SCRIPTURE WAS INSPIRED BY GOD.  We are told 1 Corinthians 10:11 that the Old Testament was preserved as a teaching tool for those living at the end of the age.  In 2 Peter 1:21 the apostle noted that the prophets spoke (and wrote) as they were “moved upon by the Holy Spirit.”  So were God’s chosen apostles then and now.  In Acts 17:11 Paul notes that he and the other apostles taught out of the Old Testament.  He noted that following his daily teachings, the men of Berea “studied the Scriptures daily” to see if what he was telling them was true.  He taught them out of the Old Testament–the only Scriptures existing at that time.  It would be long after the deaths of eleven of the apostles before John would codify the writings of the prophets and apostles into what is known as the Holy Bible.  Jesus said that man will be judged by every Word He spoke (Jn. 12:44-50–see 48).  Jesus spoke the Words recorded in the Bible as He heard them from God.  He then spoke them to His prophets and apostles who spoke them and recorded them “for our admonition upon whom the ends of the earth have come”–the Lord’s true end-time church.

The message is clear to any and all who honestly seek God’s Truth (His Word–Jn. 17:17): MAN MUST OBEY THE ENTIRE BIBLE IN ORDER TO BE SAVED.  Those who teach that even one jot or tittle of the Law has been destroyed, added to or removed from are Satan’s false prophets.  Those who believe them are his false Christians.  In that we are in the midst of one of God’s Holy Days–the Feast (Festival) of Tabernacles–we will learn the truth about this Holy Day in the next posting.  L.J.
