“For God so loved the world” begins the most memorized, most quoted, most believed statement in the Holy Bible. In order to fully understand what those divinely-inspired Words mean, we must realize that the word “world” refers to the social, governmental, educational, economic, etc. systems that make the world what it is. True Christians are IN that world but not OF that world which has material significance in which we are of necessity involved. To distinguish those to whom He is writing, the Lord added the word “WHOsoever” which narrows the meaning of John 3:16 down to the subject that is the recipient for His love as noted in the focal verse–man (Heb.–Adam).

Of all the entities that the Godhead (Heb.–Elohim–Gods) created, man is Their most precious and valued creation. From this point on the word “God,” will refer to the dual Godhead (Elohim) which consists of both God and the Word who came to earth as Jesus of Nazareth. Read John 1:1-4,14. Also read The God of the Old Testament and Jesus of Nazareth: God, Man or God-man? Key words–Old and God-man respectively. We will now begin the study of the Love of God toward mankind and the Law by which He reveals His love for the males and females that comprise the human race (Gen. 1:28). Note that I said males and females, not he-shes and she-hes. He made Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve; Eve and Adam, not Eve and Evelyn. Those who believe otherwise are in need of deliverance which is available from God’s true apostles who are endowed with His Holy Spirit. The problem is in finding a God-empowered man today in that they are few in number because only an extremely few men believe God’s Word.

From early on those of us who were symbolically “born and raised in the church” were repeatedly told about God’s love for us and for all of mankind. This foundational Biblical Truth was then reinforced by years of teaching and preaching that revealed God’s love for His most prized creation. However, one factor–the most important factor–relative to His love for mankind has been deliberately eliminated from church teachings over the past 1900 or so. The subject has not only been ignored, it has been vilified to the point that it is considered blasphemy to even bring it up in conversation due to its having been “nailed to cross” at the time of Christ’s crucifixion.

I was told by a local preacher that I had “fallen from grace” for teaching that man must obey the most hated subject about which the Lord has so much to say–HIS LAW. The irony is that church people hate God’s Law with a passion that is not observed in their attitude toward sin. In fact, they teach that sin is natural to the human race due to Adam’s sin gene transferal miracle. Being natural, sin, like height and eye color, cannot be eliminated from one’s life. Not even so-called “salvation and rebirth” can change that so-called “Biblical truth.” Having supposedly been “saved” and having supposedly been “born again,” the “Christian” is supposedly immune from the effects of personal sin because Jesus supposedly makes it all go away as soon as the guilty party repents. And Satan smiles, knowing that his servants have done their jobs effectively. Read Hebrews 6:6, Matthew 15:9, James 1:22 and Romans 2:5.

It is important for salvation seekers to understand that it was not God’s Ten Commandment Law that was “nailed to the cross.” Rather, it was the “handwriting of (Moses’) ordinances” containing the sacrificial and ritualistic ordinances relative to the forgiveness of man’s sins that was nullified at that time. Jesus made it clear to Truth-seekers during the Last Supper that His shed blood would be the only sacrifice needed from that time on. However, as is always the case when God’s Word is involved, Satan stepped in and, by manipulating the Apostle Paul’s words (Col. 2:14), lured religious man off of God’s narrow, Law-dictated path and onto his (the devil’s) broad, Law-less path (Mat. 7:13,14) which involves only faith and grace. Read Bait and Switch. Key word–Bait. It is interesting to note that it is Paul, who received His Gospel Truth directly from Jesus Christ (Gal. 1:12), who has the most to say about the Law, its relationship to God’s love and man’s salvation. Law-haters confuse his words relative to the Law and justification with His Law relative to salvation. Read Romans 2:13; 3:3,20-28; 4:25; 5:1,8,9,16. Law-rejecters use Paul’s letter to the Rome church to “prove” that the Law has nothing to do with salvation. However, Truth-seekers will note that all references to the Law versus faith and grace theme refer to JUSTIFICATION–THE FORGIVENESS OF ALL PAST SINS WHICH, IF THE JUSTIFIED ONE THEN ELIMINATES SIN IN HIS LIFE, LEADS TO TRUE CONVERSION (Rom. 3:25). Note that salvation is not mentioned in the above-listed verses.

Once justification has been received, one must then obey the Law in order to retain his/her justification (Rom. 2:13). Sin separates the believer from God (Isa. 59:2). Sin is the transgression of the Law (1 Jn. 3:4). These and other such passages are rejected by all Law-haters. This practice is known as “religious cheery picking” in which only the “good verses” are declared God’s Truth. All other verses and passages–AND THERE ARE MANY–are declared irrelevant and are therefore ignored. When church people are shown God’s Word many will exclaim that they did not know those words were in the Bible. Once the Truth is known, however, 99% will not believe and obey them. It was those hidden Truths that caused Jesus and His apostles to be killed. People loved their miracles but hated their message. Today, people do not even believe in His miracles which are as much a part of the Gospel message as the message itself.

In Satan’s “plans of salvation” found in his religious system there is not one single church as commanded in Ephesians 4:4,5), but two so-called “churches” consisting of the great whore, called Mystery, Babylon (Catholicism) and her “harlot daughters” (the Protestant denominations) which are described in Revelation 17:1-5. Read that passage which refers to the end-time (Laodicean–Rev. 3:14-20) church system which dominates the church world at this time. In Satan’s Laodicean system each “church” (denomination, faith, etc.) has its own name, its own meeting place, its own god, its own savior and its own plan of salvation. Each “church” operates in direct defiance of Ephesians 4:4,5 and First Corinthians 12:12; 14:23.

So why does the Institutional Church have such a deep hatred for the Law of God? The answer revolves around GOVERNANCE. Religious man rejects God’s Law because it establishes His absolute control over those who claim to be His disciples. God’s one true church is Biblically called The Church of God (not to be confused with the denomination that has taken that holy name for itself). The churches within the Catholic/Protestant Religious System comprise the great whore and her harlot daughters today. Read The Ingathering: The Rise of the End-time Church. Key word–Ingathering. Here the reader will see how the mother and her daughters are reuniting in preparation for a one-world church system that will rule the world during the Tribulation Period that, I believe, will arrive within the next eight years.

Admittedly, I have no definitive word from the Lord on that subject. I am looking at what is taking place within “the church” now and projecting what I see coming to pass over the next few years. As I have previously stated, I believe that God is going to give America and the rest of the so-called “Christian world” one final opportunity to return to Him so as to revive the church that is written about in the book of Acts. I project that church people will “get religion” when hell comes to the earth’s surface. But it will only be a returning to the church that has been in operation for the past 1900 years or so. It is that system that has made the church world into the religious sewer that it is today.

I believe that God is going to return Donald Trump to the White House in order to put America back on track in the social, economic, political, military realms, which he will do if elected. I also believe that God will expose those of the Democrat Left for what they are–wicked, vile servants of their god–Satan. I believe that He will also expose “the church” for the same reason. This is happening now as we see churches welcoming sex deviants, etc. into their midst with no expectation of a change in their character. A recent poll found that 54% of professing Christendom is in favor of abortion on demand. Read Abortion: God’s Word on the Subject. Key word–Abortion. I recently saw a news article about the “Queering of the Ministery” that some church people are pushing forward. Read the series that looks at homosexuality from a Biblical perspective. Key word–Homosexuality. L.J.
