Within the Institutional (Catholic/Protestant) Church System, what separates sheep from goats? wheat from tares? good fish from bad fish? good fruit trees from bad fruit trees, etc?  Put another way, what separates spiritual Israelites (true converts) from spiritual Gentiles (false converts)?  The answer is OBEDIENCE TO GOD’S LAW.  Though this Truth is made abundantly clear numerous times in the Holy Bible, the vast majority of Bible owners do not believe it.  Read God’s Royal Law.  Key word–Royal.  Let us examine a few Scriptural proofs that the Law–Genesis to Revelation–is as relevant today as it was at Mt. Sinai when God–the Word Who became Jesus Christ (Jn. 1:1-4)–gave to Israel as His Law of life in condensed form and written in stone.

The Prophet Isaiah prophesied that the Lord’s Messenger would one day come to earth to “magnify the Law and make it honorable (again)” (42:21).  God’s Law is His Word from Genesis 1:1 to Revelation 22:21.  Every Word God uttered is Law that must be obeyed in order to receive salvation at the return of Jesus Christ.  Only two options are available relative to the Law of God: obey it or disobey it.  As Scripture tells us, the former results in blessings, the latter results in cursings.  Man has the liberty to choose which option he prefers.  A glimpse at the world today tells us which one man has chosen.  But this comes as no surprise to God and His true saints who know and believe His Holy Scriptures.  Jesus prophesied in Matthew 7:13,14 that few of those who claim allegiance to Him would obey His Father’s Law/Word.  Many, He warned, would be called to obey it, but few would be chosen for having answered His call (Mat. 22:14).  Today, those who refuse to obey His Word believe that they are His people, which shows how much power Satan has over what labels itself as “the church.”

Why is this?  Why do Bible-toting, Bible-quoting church people adamantly refuse to believe and obey what God wrote in the Book they tote and quote?  The answer is: Satan, or rather man’s embrace of Satan’s words.  This is not new as anyone familiar with the first three chapters of Genesis knows.

As a man Jesus confirmed the words He had earlier spoken to Isaiah (42:21) when He stated: “I did not come (to earth) to destroy the Law, but to fulfill it”–live it to the fullest as an example of what the Father requires of those who would spend eternity with Him.  Jesus stated in John 15:10 that He, Jesus Himself, had to obey His Father’s Words in order to remain in His love–to spend eternity with Him.  As a man, He knew that sin would separate Him from God (Isa. 59:2).  One cannot remain with the Lord while separated from Him.  To sin is to break God’s Law (1 Jn. 3:4).  There will be no Law-breakers in the Kingdom of God.  One cannot simultaneously be separated from God and walk (in agreement) with Him (Amos 3:3), which one must do in order to be saved.  Unless one walks in agreement with Him (His Law) in this life, one will not walk with Him in the next life.  To obey His Law makes one a spiritual Israelite–a saint (holy one).  To disobey His Law makes one a spiritual Gentile–a heathen (unholy one).  In Galatians 6:16 the Apostle Paul calls God’s true Law-keeping church “the ISRAEL OF GOD.”  This tells us that in order to be a part of the Body of Christ, WE MUST OBEY GOD’S LAW IN LETTER AND SPIRIT.  So who are the “dogs?”

One day as Jesus and His disciples were walking in the area of Tyre and Sidon a Canaanite woman from that region shouted out to Him, “Son of David, my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil.”  Bear in mind that Jesus routinely cast out devils (Satan’s fallen angels).  However, as He and His disciples walked along He continued to ignore the woman who continued to address Him.  Finally, the disciples asked Him to send the woman away for she was irritating them.  He replied to the disciples that He had not been sent to deal with Gentiles, but that His focus was on the lost sheep of the house of Israel, which included the Jews of Judea where He was.  Note: all Jews are Israelites, but most Israelites are not Jews.  “Jews” are the members of three Israelite tribes–Judah, Benjamin and Levi.  Israelites number in the multiplied hundreds of millions world-wide while Jews number approximately 15 million.

Being ignored by Jesus did not dissuade the woman who continued to cry out to Him.  After a while she drew near and “worshiped Him,” saying: “Lord, please help me.”  At this point He said to her: “It is not good to take the children’s (Israelites) bread (promises from God) and cast it (His promises) to the DOGS.”  Note it: JESUS CALLED ALL GENTILES “DOGS,” which, along with swine, were considered the very lowest living creatures on earth.  The woman, knowing that she, a Gentile, had not been promised God’s help, replied: “True, Lord, yet the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master’s table.”  Jesus was so impressed with her faith that He granted her request.  In Mark 9:23 Jesus said: “… all things are possible through faith.”  One can have great faith and no obedience.  Such faith can accomplish much.  For several years I healed the sick and cast out devils even though I was not obedient to God, though I thought I was.  The truth is that I operated totally on faith.  However, since learning the Truth, I must now walk in holiness in order to be able to use my faith.  I was (and still am) living proof that “Unto whom much is given, much is required” (Lk. 12:48).  Once one knows God’s Truth, one is required to walk in it.  Three people have died because they refused to believe what God told me to tell them about His Word.  Another one will soon die for the same reason.  As has happened before, God has revealed to me how He will kill her.  Knowledge can be deadly.

“DOGS” is the label God gives to those who do not obey His Law.  This spiritual group includes all Catholics, Protestants and every other person who refuses to obey His Law.  All Israelites and Gentiles who refuse to obey His Words/Law/Gospel/light/Truth are spiritual Gentiles–symbolic “dogs” who live in spiritual darkness.  One must come out of such darkness and into His light in order to qualify for eternal life. In order to be a child of God one must become a spiritual Israelite and prove one’s allegiance to Him and love for Him by obeying His Law.  Read 2 Corinthians 6:14-7:1 and 1 John 3.  L.J.
