64– The Power of the New Covenant Relationship </b></i></span></span>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Pastor,
no doubt you've been seeing the TV Commercials asking for donations
and showing children dying of starvation all over the world.
Thousands die from this and from disease every day. We also see the
violence and terrorism portrayed on the daily News. As a Pastor, you
are also keenly aware of the moral debauchery going on world-wide.
We're living in troubled times! As a Bible student, you know that
there is only one way to stop this entirely, and that is for Jesus to
come. So, even though organizing efforts to feed the hungry children
are wonderful; even though evangelist crusades are bringing people to
Jesus all around the world; even though our Christian Churches and
Denominations are spending mega billions for nice church buildings,
and billions for evangelistic campaigns and feeding the hungry,
almost 2000 years have come and gone since Jesus gave us His Gospel
Commission and our world is not getting better, but rapidly worse.
America's most famous modern evangelist was quoted 50 years ago
saying</span></span></span></span><span style="color: maroon;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>,
“If Jesus doesn't come soon, He will have to apologize to Sodom and
Gomorrah!”</b></i></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
So, in this Chapter we will again take up the Question, </span></span></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>“Why
Does Jesus Wait.”</b></i></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
In the previous Chapter we skimmed the surface. Here we will try to
cover the details and expose the fallacies of those who oppose what
we believe to be the Bible truth, that Jesus is waiting for His
people to reflect His Character as a witness to all nations. To do
this subject justice, we would need a whole book, and many good books
have been written specifically addressing this. This last Chapter
will be rather long, and repetitious of much that we've already
covered. The Powers of Darkness oppose vigorously what we present
here. This Author has prayed over each Chapter in this Book, but none
so much as here. Pastor, please pray for a special outpouring of the
Holy Spirit as we proceed! </span></span></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>Thank
you SO much!</b></i></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.2in;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">If
you're a person that starts reading a book by going to the back of
the book first, and then reading the other Chapters if you find the
ending interesting, some of what we present here could be difficult
to follow. The point of this Chapter is to show that, according to
the Bible and according to Jesus Himself, He is waiting for His
people to complete the tasks He assigned them when He left our Earth.
We believe that, before Jesus comes back to take His people home to
Heaven, they must truly reflect His Character by, </span></span></span></span><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>“Preaching
the </b></i></span></span><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><u><b>real</b></u></i></span></span><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>
Gospel of the </b></i></span></span><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><u><b>real</b></u></i></span></span><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>
Kingdom, and in so doing Witness (demonstrate) to all the world the
saving and converting Power of that Gospel.”</b></i></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
We've shown repeatedly throughout this book how Satan has opposed
Christ's real Gospel with a false gospel that allows for, and even
demands, disobedience to God. Sadly, some Ministers even claim that
God is pleased with our disobedience. In Chapter 44, we carefully
examined the Gnostics and how Christ's Parable/Prophecy of the Tares
was fulfilled by these evil characters when Satan secretly implanted
them into the Early Church. Jesus identified exactly the false gospel
of these Tares, telling us how they would attack specifically the 10
Commandments God gave to Moses. We'll review this in a moment. In His
Parable/Prophecy Jesus said these anti-10 Commandment false teachers,
Tares, would continue their blasphemy in the Church until He returned
at His Second Coming. He said that, like a farmer gathers his wheat
at the harvest and casts the tares into the fire, so the Church's
Tares will be cast into the Fires of Judgment because they </span></span></span></span><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>“do
iniquity.”</b></i></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
Those words from Jesus in the Parable that are translated, </span></span></span></span><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>“do
iniquity” </b></i></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">(Matt.13:41),
are best translated, </span></span></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>“Teach
Iniquity.”</b></i></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
That word “Iniquity” is “Anomia,” thus Jesus tells us that,
</span></span></span></span><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>“Teach
Anomia.”</b></i></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
is the sin of the Tares. Anomia is the Greek word that means,
</span></span></span></span><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>“attempting
to annul the 10 Commandments.”</b></i></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
Thus, by using the word “Anomia,” Jesus specifically referred to
the 10 Commandments given to Moses at Sinai. This fact frustrates
those promoting the doctrine of, </span></span></span></span><span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>“Grace
Frees us to Disobey God's Law.”</b></i></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
The Anti-Law promoters use Paul's statements about being </span></span></span></span><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>“Under
Grace and not under the Law,” </b></i></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">as
their proof texts in their attempts to reverse the Words of Jesus,
but they offer no serious explanation for Christ's “Anomia”
warnings. Pastor, to see the documentation that “Anomia” and
“Anomos” are Greek words that mean, “to Annul God's 10
Commandments,” see Chapter 43, </span></span></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>“Antichrist's
Name.”</b></i></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.2in;">
<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>Additional
“Anomia” Warnings from Jesus </b></i></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
If
Jesus warned us only this once about the Anomia/10 Commandment
controversy, one warning would be sufficient. However, He actually
warned us many times, and on three occasions, He specifically used
that word, “Anomia.” We've covered all three warnings many times
throughout this book, but as a quick review, let's look once again.</span></span></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.2in;">
<span style="color: blue;">“<span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>Not
everyone that saith unto Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter the Kingdom of
Heaven, but he that doeth the will of My Father who is in Heaven.
Many will say unto Me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied
in thy name? And in thy name cast out devils? And in thy name done
many wonderful works? And then I will profess unto them, I never knew
you; Depart from Me ye workers of </b></i></span></span><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><u><b>iniquity</b></u></i></span></span><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>”</b></i></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
</span></span></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><span style="font-weight: normal;">(Matt.7:21).</span></i></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
Again that word “</span></span></span></span><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>iniquity</b></i></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">”
in the original language is, </span></span></span></span><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>“Anomia,”</b></i></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
and that word “workers” is best translated, “teachers.” Thus
the two words together are best translated, </span></span></span></span><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>“Teachers
of Anomia.”</b></i></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
Notice Jesus said they will declare,</span></span></span></span><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>
“Have we not </b></i></span></span><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><u><b>prophesied</b></u></i></span></span><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>
in thy name?”</b></i></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
The context of these words from Jesus is where He is exposing “False
Prophets” that would be present in the Church throughout it's time
here on Earth </span></span></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><span style="font-weight: normal;">(see
vs.15)</span></i></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">,
thus a translation of His words could be, </span></span></span></span><span style="color: #b80047;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>“I
never knew you!! Depart from Me ye False Prophets teaching that My 10
Commandments are annulled.”</b></i></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
This Scripture comes from Christ's Sermon on the Mount which is His
first recorded sermon. It was later during His ministry that He gave
His Parable/Prophecy about the Tares. We've covered that, so, let's
look at His last recorded warning about last day False
Prophets/Teachers teaching Anomia. The following discourse occurred
only days before Jesus was crucified.</span></span></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.2in;">
<span style="color: blue;">“<span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>And
many False Prophets shall arise, and shall deceive many. And because
</b></i></span></span><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><u><b>iniquity</b></u></i></span></span><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>
(anomia) shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold”</b></i></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
</span></span></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><span style="font-weight: normal;">(Matt.24:11-12).</span></i></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
Here Jesus told us exactly that the last day delusion would be False
Prophets teaching “Anomia.” And so we have it straight from Jesus
Himself from the beginning, the middle, and the end of His ministry,
the exact deception Satan's False Prophets will declare throughout
the Church Age till the Second Coming! Pastor, is it not clear that
the popular doctrine of, </span></span></span></span><span style="color: maroon;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>“Grace
is permission to disregard God's Law,”</b></i></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
fits the last day delusion like a glove?</span></span></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.2in;">
<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>The
Gnostics </b></i></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
In
Chapter 44, we carefully covered the Gnostics and how they openly
attacked the character of the God of the Old Testament, the Creator
God. Gnostics portrayed God the Creator as the evil God who also gave
Moses the 10 Commandments. Gnostics called the Creator God, the
“</span></span></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>Demiurge</b></i></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">.”
We gave documentation of these Satanic implants attempting to annul
the Sabbath in the Early Church because it was a Memorial of
Creation. They said the “Demiurge” was the God of the Seventh
Heaven, thus He instituted the Seventh Day Sabbath. They said the
“High God” was the God of the Eighth Heaven, thus the “Eighth
Day,” the day after Sabbath, was the Day Christ instituted to
replace the Sabbath. Pastor, if you've not read Chapter 44, it would
help you to understand this Chapter 64 if you took a moment to do so.</span></span></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.2in;">
<span style="color: black;"> <span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">We
t</span></span></span></span>ruly believe that each of the previous
63 Pondered Questions address very important issues concerning
last-day truths. We believe it is vitally important that we know and
teach the Bible truth concerning each and every Pondered Question. We
know absolutely that if anyone seeks God's Holy Spirit for guidance
and prayerfully examines each Question, the truth of each will be
clear. Bible Truth is, of course, what makes up the TRUE Gospel that
Jesus said must be preached into all the world before the <span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>“end
may come”</b></i></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
</span></span></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><span style="font-weight: normal;">(See
Matt.24:14).</span></i></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
However, we suggest that the issue addressed in this Chapter 64 is
more essential than all of the other Pondered Questions combined.
Pastor, you may be among those who believe and teach that we humans
have nothing to do with the timing of Christ's return. We suggest
that Jesus settled this when He said, </span></span></span></span><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>“And
this Gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached in all the world, for a
</b></i></span></span><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><u><b>witness</b></u></i></span></span><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>
unto all nations; and </b></i></span></span><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><u><b>then</b></u></i></span></span><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>
shall the </b></i></span></span><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><u><b>end</b></u></i></span></span><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>
come”</b></i></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
</span></span></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><span style="font-weight: normal;">(Matt.24:14).</span></i></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
Who is responsible for this preaching of the Gospel and this
witnessing unto all nations? Would that not be us? When Jesus said,
</span></span></span></span><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>“and
then shall the end come,” </b></i></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">could
He have really meant, </span></span></span></span><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>“then,
and </b></i></span></span><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><u><b>ONLY</b></u></i></span></span><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>
then, shall the end come?” </b></i></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Does
He mean that the “end” cannot come until the prerequisites are
completed?</span></span></span></span><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>
</b></i></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Who
did Jesus entrust the task of, </span></span></span></span><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>“Preaching
the Gospel of the Kingdom in all the world?”</b></i></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
Is Jesus waiting for all nations to “</span></span></span></span><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>Witness</b></i></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">”
His Gospel in His People so He can return? He addressed this to His
Disciples, the founders of His Church and thus this same message
would be passed on down to those who become believers through His
Disciples. Again, that's us. Is it clear that Jesus is waiting for us
to do what He said we must do. Let's look now at what Jesus meant by,
</span></span></span></span><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>“</b></i></span></span><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><u><b>Witness</b></u></i></span></span><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>
unto all nations.”</b></i></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
There's no question that Satan has seen to it that the World has
witnessed anything but a positive testimony from Christianity. Here
we'll look at the real purpose of the, </span></span></span></span><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>“New
Covenant.”</b></i></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
We'll see that it creates a bond, a Contract, between us and Jesus; a
connection that transmits a special power to us so that, through
God's imparted strength, we can overcome the Powers of Darkness so
that we truly and completely, </span></span></span></span><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>“Do
God's Will.” </b></i></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
and </span></span></span></span><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>“Witness
to all nations the Power of the Gospel.”</b></i></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
First, for the Readers that have not read the previous Chapters
addressing the New Covenant, let's quickly review five Bible facts
concerning the New Covenant.</span></span></span></span></div>
<ol>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0.2in;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Contrary
to the Pre-Trib Theory declaring that the New Covenant is for the
Jews </span></span></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>only</b></i></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">,
and </span></span></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>not</b></i></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
for the Church in this </span></span></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>“Grace/Church
Age,”</b></i></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
Jesus instituted the New Covenant with His Disciples at His Last
Supper on the night before He was crucified. His Disciples were the
Founders of His Church. For Bible proof that the New Covenant is for
the Church and not a future generation of Jews, see Chapters 38, 39,
and 40 of this Book.</span></span></span></span></div>
</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0.2in;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Contrary
to the false Doctrine that the definition of the New Covenant is,
</span></span></span></span><span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>“Grace
Frees us to Disobey God's Law,”</b></i></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
the Bible definition of the New Covenant is the Lord, </span></span></span></span><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>“Writing
His Law in our hearts, minds, and inward parts”</b></i></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
</span></span></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><span style="font-weight: normal;">(see
Jer.31:33, Heb.8:10 and 10:16).</span></i></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
Thus, the New Covenant is the exact opposite of what mainstream
Christianity declares it to be and what Pre-Trib Dispensationalism
declares it to be. Jesus warned us specifically that Satan's first
and last delusion for the Church was and is the </span></span></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>annulling
of the 10 Commandments.</b></i></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
Again, in Chapters 38, 39, and 40, we provide Bible proof of this. </span></span></span></span>
</div>
</li>
<li><div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0.2in;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;">Because Israel rejected Jesus as
their Messiah, the promises and prophecies made to them were
conditional. Those prophecies and promises, on a much larger scale
than the Old Testament portrays for the Jews, will be fulfilled in
the Church. The Kingdom promised to the Jews was in an earthly
setting involving mortals, while the Kingdom promised to God's
people after Calvary will be heavenly and will involve only
immortals after Christ's Second Coming. Again, see Chapters 38
through 40 and Chapters 3 through 5.</span></span></div>
</li>
<li><div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0.2in;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;">The Bride of Christ, the New
Covenant, and Israel cannot be separated. Thus when we see the New
Covenant defined in Jeremiah 31 and in Hebrews 8 and 10, the
references to Judah and Israel are references also to the Church.
Judah and Israel <i><u><b>ARE</b></u></i> the Church and thus the
New Covenant Bride of Christ. We show this from Scripture in Chapter
40.</span></span></div>
</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0.2in;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Isaiah
prophesied that breaking the New Covenant will be one of three evil
sins for which the Lord will literally and totally destroy the
inhabitants of earth, including earth itself. This total
destruction will begin at Christ's Second Coming and will be
complete a thousand years later immediately after the Great White
Throne Judgment. Note the following: </span></span></span></span><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>“The
earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they
have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, and broken the
</b></i></span></span><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><u><b>Everlasting</b></u></i></span></span><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>
</b></i></span></span><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><u><b>Covenant</b></u></i></span></span><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>.
Therefore (</b></i></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><span style="font-weight: normal;">because

begin by looking at what the Bible really says about the Power
contained in the New Covenant:</span></span></span></span><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0.2in;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">The
operative phrase is,</span></span></span></span><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><span style="font-weight: normal;">

</span></i></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Let's
look at that Everlasting Covenant, also called the New Covenant.
Pastor, as you know, almost all Christian Ministers tell us that
becoming, </span></span></span></span><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>“Perfect
in good works and doing God's will,”</b></i></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
is impossible in this life, no matter how much we seek help from God.
These same Ministers angrily attack those who disagree with them.
</span></span></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>WHY</b></i></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">?
We'll examine this question in a moment. First let's look at when and
with whom Jesus established the </span></span></span></span><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>“New
Covenant.”</b></i></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">

<span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>"This is My blood of

Jesus said this to His Disciples at His
<span style="color: blue;"><i><b>“Last Supper.”</b></i></span> Jesus
is the Founder of the Church, and His Disciples were the Co-Founders.
We say this Pastor, as a reminder of the fact that Pre-Trib says the
New Covenant is not really for the Church, but for the Jews after the
Rapture. If you've read Chapters 38, 39, and 40, you've seen the
documentation concerning Pre-Trib's doctrine stating this. If you've
carefully studied the Scofield Bible footnotes, or most other
Pre-Trib Study Bibles, you've seen the documentation. Pre-Trib says
the only <i><b>real</b></i> purpose of the New Covenant is for a
future generation of Jews after the Church has been Raptured to
Heaven. The New Covenant, the Church, and the Bride of Christ are
inseparable and any attempt to disconnect the three is not only an
exercise in futility, it's a delusion and thus a trap from Satan. If
the Reader has not read Chapters 38, 39, and 40, you might want to do
so before proceeding.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.2in;">
<span style="color: maroon;"><i><b>Special
“</b></i></span><span style="color: maroon;"><i><u><b>Victory</b></u></i></span><span style="color: maroon;"><i><b>”
Strength Available in New Covenant </b></i></span>
<span style="color: blue;"><i><b>“And I saw, as it were, a Sea of Glass
mingled with fire, and them that had gotten the </b></i></span><span style="color: blue;"><i><u><b>VICTORY</b></u></i></span><span style="color: blue;"><i><b>

and over his Image, and over his Mark, over the Number of his Name,
standing on the Sea of Glass, having the harps of God”</b></i></span>
<i>(Rev.15:2)</i>. Revelation gives little information about this
scene. It does indicate that it is in Heaven, and for sure it is
after a group of people accomplish the <span style="color: blue;"><i><b>“</b></i></span><span style="color: blue;"><i><u><b>Victory</b></u></i></span><span style="color: blue;"><i><b>
over Antichrist (</b></i></span><span style="color: blue;"><i><span style="font-weight: normal;">the
Beast</span></i></span><span style="color: blue;"><i><b>).”</b></i></span>
<i><b>“</b></i><i><u><b>Victory</b></u></i><i><b>”</b></i> is the
key point. Somewhere, sometime in the future a group of people will
defeat Antichrist. Of course they'll <u><b>certainly</b></u> not
accomplish this in their own strength, but, with Christ's
empowerment, they'll do it absolutely. As we saw in Hebrews 13:20-21,
a special strength is available to those who enter into a New
Covenant relationship with Jesus. We will now look closer at
Mainstream Christianity's view of the New Covenant. Satan knows what
will happen to him if Christianity truly discovers the <i><u><b>real</b></u></i>
New Covenant. The Bible says a small portion of sincere Christians
will use the Power available to them as they truly embrace Jesus and
His New Covenant. When they do, they'll defeat Satan and Antichrist,
after which Satan's days of harassing humanity will be <i><b>FINISHED!!
</b></i><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">He
will then begin his thousand year prison sentence.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.2in;">
<span style="color: red;"><i><b>Four
“Christian” Interpretations of the New Covenant</b></i></span><i><b>
</b></i><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">The
Powers of Darkness know that someday they'll be defeated by God's
people who've truly embraced the New Covenant, and these Dark Powers
will stop at nothing in their attempts to distort the New Covenant!
Sadly, they've been very successful. Even though the Bible definition
of the New Covenant is clear, almost the entire Christian World is
clueless. So, let's look at each of the four interpretations.</span></span></div>
<ol>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0.2in;">
<span style="color: #b80047;"><i><b>The
Church of the Dark Ages.</b></i></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
When the Church apostatized by combining with Paganism, it took the
position that the New Covenant was the 10 Commandments, </span></span><i><b>BUT,</b></i><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
with certain “adjustments.” The Commandment forbidding the
creating of, and bowing to, images was completely dropped. Also, the
Sabbath Commandment, although still very much in effect, was
switched to Sunday, thus Sunday-Observance was strictly enforced.
The Dark Age Church said little about Grace and pretty much promoted
salvation by works. </span></span>
</div>
</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0.2in;">
<span style="color: #b80047;"><i><b>The
Protestant Church Emerging in the Reformation.</b></i></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
The main attack from the Reformers against the Dark Age Church was
</span></span><span style="color: black;"><i><b>“Salvation by Grace,”</b></i></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
which was correct, but Satan, as he always do</span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">es,
took it to the other extreme. So, the majority of Protestant
Churches designed what they now define as </span></span></span><span style="color: black;"><i><b>“New
Covenant Salvation.”</b></i></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
The point is that the New Covenant is an abolition of the Old
Covenant. The New Covenant, says most of Protestantism, is the new
form of Salvation: </span></span></span><span style="color: black;"><i><b>“Saved
by Grace and not by Law.”</b></i></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
By distorting some of Paul's statements about Grace, they decided
and taught </span></span></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">that
the Old Covenant was the 10 Commandments and other laws God gave to
Moses, and the New Covenant is </span></span><i><b>“Freedom from
the Law, including the 10 Commandments.”</b></i><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
It needs to be noted that only one Commandment in the Law is the
focus of this group. That Commandment is the Sabbath. They tell us
that the other nine are as binding as before.</span></span></div>
</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0.2in;">
<span style="color: #b80047;"><i><b>Pre-Tribulation
Dispensationalism.</b></i></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
And then, starting around 1830, Dispensationalism began to emerge.
Pastor, if you are a Pre-Trib Minister, you know Pre-Trib's position
concerning the New Covenant. If the Reader is not a Pre-Trib
Minister, and finds it difficult to believe that Pre-Trib actually
separates itself from the New Covenant, you may need to read Chapter
38,</span></span><i><b> “New Testament or New Covenant,”</b></i><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
and Chapter 39, </span></span><i><b>“New Covenant - Church or
Israel,”</b></i><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
and Chapter 40, </span></span><i><b>“The Bride of Christ.”</b></i><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
Again, Pastor, as you know, the official position for Pre-Trib is
that the New Covenant actually is </span></span><i><u><b>not</b></u></i><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
for the Church at all, but is for a future generation of Jews after
the Church has been Raptured to Heaven. However, Pastor, as you also
know Pre-Trib/Evangelical Churches promote Position #2, the general
Protestant view that the New Covenant, </span></span><span style="color: #b80047;"><i><b>“Frees
Us from the Old Law.”</b></i></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
Pre-Trib Ministers preach that the New Covenant, during the Church
Age, is a declaration that the 10 Commandment Law is temporarily set
aside because of Grace, but the Law, including the Sabbath, will
once again become God's Command for the Jews, and actually for all
Tribulation converts, during the Tribulation and during the 1000
year, “Millennial Kingdom.” The non-Pre-Trib Reader will find
this very confusing, but the educated Pre-Trib Pastors and Ministers
know exactly what we are explaining, and they know it is indeed the
official Pre-Trib position. Now, before moving to position # 4,
let's look quickly at something troubling with positions 1, 2, and
3. In Position 4 we will look at an Old Testament and a New
Testament Bible definition of the New Covenant and it will be
abundantly clear that the previous 3 have completely reversed what
the Bible says about the New Covenant.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.2in;">
<br />
In position #1, there were
attempted changes made in God's Law. That is wrong and that is all
we need to say about it. In position #2 there are several problems.
First, it implies that Old Testament people were not saved by Grace,
and in implying such, they are left with giving the impression that
those living between Moses and Jesus were saved by keeping the Law.
Pastor as you know, Pre-Trib aggressively opposes this accusation.
Their official position is that <i><u><b>everyone</b></u></i> who
will be saved will be saved by Grace, Old or New Testament. But, if
Old Testament people from Moses till Jesus were saved by Grace, why
did God require that they obey the Law, and then require that Grace
Age people disregard the Law? And this leads into the <i><b>real</b></i>
problem. After listening to literally thousands of Pre-Trib
Ministers on the Radio and TV, and studying the Scofield Bible
Footnotes, and reading Pre-Trib College and University Textbooks and
material from many Pre-Trib Promoters, this Author has concluded
that there is a simple test that must be applied to any Doctrine and
the test works perfectly every time. The test is a question: <span style="color: red;"><i><b>“Does
the Doctrine or Teaching attack God's Character?”</b></i></span>
If it does, it is false, period. So, what about a Doctrine that says
God demanded obedience to His Law for 1500 years after Moses, but
later, demanded the opposite? Let's look a little closer to be sure
we know what the Doctrine says. Did God make a Law, a Covenant, with
the Children of Israel requiring obedience to His Ten Commandments,
and for the following1500 years severely punish them over and again
for failing to obey His impossible Law, only to <i><b>demand </b></i>that
His People in the next Dispensation <i><b>disregard</b></i> that
Law? In Chapter 31, we illustrated this with a scenario of an evil
father who gave impossible tasks to his eldest son and punished him
over a period of years for his inabilities, then later told his
second son he need not obey those impossible rules, telling him he
only punished the eldest son in order to demonstrate how impossible
the tasks were. The evil father even tells his second son he will
punish him if he even attempts to accomplish the tasks assigned the
older son. If the authorities became aware of this evil man, he
would be featured on the nightly News for weeks, and finally he'd be
tried, convicted, and sent to prison. So, if we portray God doing
the exact same as the evil father, are we not, <i><b>“Attacking
God's Character?”</b></i> We would absolutely, and, sadly,
Christian Ministers are unwittingly doing exactly this! So what
about the notion that the Old Covenant was the impossible Ten
Commandments forced upon Israel, and the New Covenant is Jesus
changing and abolishing those same Commandments? Should we even
consider such a Doctrine, or should we see it for what it really is,
an open and evil attack upon God? Is it not certain the Satan
designed this doctrine?</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.2in;">
<span style="color: red;"><i><b>New
Version</b></i></span>
Some in Christianity recognized the horrid image of God
that their warped version of the New Covenant was portraying, so
they devised a new version that, in their minds, accomplishes the
goal of eliminating God's Ten Commandments, while placing all of the
blame on the Children of Israel at Sinai. This new version is as
follows: When God was in the process of giving Israel the Ten
Commandments, it was His intent to let them know that it was
impossible for them to obey the Commandments, and was preparing to
give them a better plan; a method they could use to satisfy the
demands of the Commandments. The New Version promoters claim that
when God was on the verge of explaining to them their inability to
keep the Commandments in their own strength, the Israelites
literally butted in at that moment and before God could finish His
sentence, they shouted back to Him, <i><b>“Everything Thou hast
Commanded we will do!”</b></i> According to the “New Version,”
God then stopped short of telling Israel about the impossibility
they were facing, and, instead, allowed them to find it out the hard
way. Thus He severely punished them for 1500 years because they
failed to keep His un-keepable Commandments. This foolish notion
requires we seriously stop and Ponder it! If God had a method
designed that would give Israel the power and strength to obey His
Commandments, do we really believe He would have refused to tell
them about it for any reason? Pastor, is such a notion not accusing
God of mocking and taunting the Israelites? The evil Gnostics
clearly accused the God of the Old Testament of doing exactly this!
They said He was an evil God and said He gave the Commandments to
Israel as a sinister joke! Thus, if this new and latest version of
the Old Covenant is correct, the evil Gnostics were also correct!
But, Pastor, surely we know better! Again, Chapter 44, “The
Gnostics,” explains this.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.2in;">
As in all Doctrines invented by
Satan, this new version has a small portion of truth, and Satan has
exploited the tiny portion. It is true that Israel did not realize
that they would be unable to obey God's Commandments in their own
strength. But, had they sincerely wanted to obey, God would have
provided them with the same power He has made available to us today.
Thus when the Holy Spirit relayed to Jeremiah <i>(Jer.31:31-33) (see
also Heb.8:8-10)</i> the definition of the New Covenant, He said,
<span style="color: blue;"><i><b>“</b></i></span><span style="color: blue;"><i><u><b>Not</b></u></i></span><span style="color: blue;"><i><b>
</b></i></span><span style="color: blue;"><i><u><b>according</b></u></i></span><span style="color: blue;"><i><b>
to the Covenant I made with their fathers in the day that I took
them by the hand to bring them out of Egypt, which, My Covenant </b></i></span><span style="color: blue;"><i><u><b>they</b></u></i></span><span style="color: blue;"><i><b>
</b></i></span><span style="color: blue;"><i><u><b>broke</b></u></i></span><span style="color: blue;"><i><b>,
although I was a Husbandman unto them, saith the Lord”</b></i></span>
<i>(Jer.31:32).</i> Operative words are, <span style="color: maroon;"><i><b>“they
broke.”</b></i></span> Pastor, if anyone even hints that God did
not offer to the Children of Israel the Grace and Power to be
obedient, that person simply has not read the Scriptures!
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.2in;">
A very popular Evangelist correctly
said recently, <i><b>“If Jesus doesn't come back soon, He will
have to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah?”</b></i> The same would
apply here concerning Israel. If God actually did punish Israel for
1500 years for their failure to obey Commandments that He knew were
un-keepable, He will have to apologize to the Israelites who lived
during that Dispensation. Now Pastor, we know that is not going to
happen! Let's be honest and acknowledge that Satan would love for us
to believe such nonsense about God! Let's also be honest and admit
that Satan has distorted the New Covenant.</div>
</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0.2in;">
<span style="color: blue;"><i><b>And
Now the Fourth, and </b></i></span><span style="color: blue;"><i><u><b>Biblical</b></u></i></span><span style="color: blue;"><i><b>
Definition of the New Covenant </b></i></span>
Pastor, hopefully you're tired of foolish false
doctrines about the Old and New Covenant so let's look at what the
Bible really says. In each of the above 3 versions of the Old and
New Covenant Satan's workings are all too clear. Satan often tosses
a smattering of truth into his Doctrines of Demons, and so he has
done here. Of course it is absolutely true that the Israelites broke
their Covenant with God. But to even hint in any way that the
Covenant God made with Israel at Sinai was trickery and dishonest;<b>
to imply that God was unfair to Israel in the slightest </b><span style="font-weight: normal;">is
blasphemy! To design a doctrine hinting such foolishness in any way
should be a red flag to us that the enemy of our souls is involved,
big time, period! Throughout the remainder of this Chapter we will
examine the Bible definition of the New and Old Covenant. The good
thing about the truth is the fact that we need not insert any of our
own rhetoric. Simply supply the Scriptures is all that's needed. </span>

<span style="color: red;"><i><b>The Real New Covenant</b></i></span><span style="font-weight: normal;">
First let's note what God said about Himself: </span><span style="color: blue;"><i><b>“For
I am the Lord, I change not” </b></i></span><span style="font-weight: normal;">(Mal.3:6).
With this Text in mind, we need only read the Bible definition of
the New Covenant because no interpretation from anyone is necessary.
Let's do it: </span><span style="color: blue;"><i><b>"Behold, the
days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a </b></i></span><span style="color: blue;"><i><u><b>New</b></u></i></span><span style="color: blue;"><i><b>
</b></i></span><span style="color: blue;"><i><u><b>Covenant</b></u></i></span><span style="color: blue;"><i><b>
with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah; Not according
to the Covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I
took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, which,
My Covenant they broke, although I was an husband unto them, saith
the Lord; But this shall be the Covenant I will make with the House
of Israel: After those days, saith the Lord, I will put </b></i></span><span style="color: blue;"><i><u><b>My</b></u></i></span><span style="color: blue;"><i><b>
</b></i></span><span style="color: blue;"><i><u><b>Law</b></u></i></span><span style="color: blue;"><i><b>
in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts, and will be
their God, and they shall be My people” </b></i></span><span style="color: blue;"><i><span style="font-weight: normal;">(Jer.31:31-33).
</span></i></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">And
now from Hebrews</span></span></span><span style="color: blue;"><i><span style="font-weight: normal;">
</span></i></span><span style="color: blue;"><i><b>“For this is the
Covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days,
saith the Lord: I will put My Laws into their mind, and write them
in their hearts; and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to

Next let's look at the time and incident of the enactment of New
Covenant. It is the Lord's Last Supper: <span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>"This
is My blood of the New Covenant (</b></i></span></span><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><span style="font-weight: normal;">new

26:28). </i></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal;">Finally
let's look at what the </span></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>“Blood

can do for us: </span></span></span><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>"Now

</b></i></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><b>Again,
we need only to carefully and prayerfully read these four Scriptures
to know exactly what the New Covenant really is. </b></span></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">It
is God offering us His power to obey His Law; to live to </span></span></span></span><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>“do
His will,”</b></i></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">

His Law in the hearts and minds of His people.” </b></i></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">As
we have said before, the notion or doctrine that God stopped short
of offering strength to Israel so that they could obey His Law is
actually an attack on God. The notion that God made an imperfect
Covenant with Israel; the notion that God made </span></span></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><u><b>anything</b></u></i></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">

Real and Only Difference Between the Old and New Covenant</b></i></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
When God said, </span></span></span></span><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>“Not
according to the Covenant I made with their fathers,” </b></i></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">promoters
of annulment of the Ten Commandments say this proves their point.</span></span></span></span><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>
</b></i></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
They contend that their position is further advanced with the
following Scripture: </span></span></span></span><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>“For
if that first Covenant had been </b></i></span></span><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><u><b>faultless</b></u></i></span></span><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>,
then should no place be sought for the second”</b></i></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
</span></span></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><span style="font-weight: normal;">(Heb.8:7).
</span></i></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">We
need to stop here for a moment and ask if we really want to proclaim
that the Covenant God made; the Covenant He gave Israel through
Moses, was </span></span></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><u><b>bad</b></u></i></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
or </span></span></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><u><b>defective</b></u></i></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">.
We </span></span></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>MUST</b></i></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">

so careful! It was God who was the Author; the complete Author, of
that Old Covenant, thus it was perfect. That Covenant, however, did
incorporated into it animal sacrificing and yearly feasts that
pointed forward to the death of Messiah. From the moment Jesus died,
the animal sacrificing was absolutely to cease. The rending of the
veil in the Temple clearly signified this. From that time, the
yearly feasts, however, were optional. Jesus fulfilled everything
found in the Torah that pointed to His death. Nowhere in any
Scripture, is there the slightest hint that the New Covenant is an
annulment of God's 10 Commandments. A surface reading from some of
Paul's letters might make it appear so, but a careful, prayerful
examination clears up any such misgivings. If we keep this in mind
as we read all of those admonitions from Paul that we think tell us
the New Covenant is Grace freeing us from obeying God and His Law,
it will all make perfect sense with no contradictions. Instead of
Paul's letters telling us we have permission to disobey God's Law;
instead of hearing Paul say God </span></span></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>wants</b></i></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
us to disobey His Commandments, we will read how Paul tells us we
are free from the </span></span></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>penalty</b></i></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
of death that the Law demands. All Scriptures addressing the New
Covenant reveal the empowerment God is offering us. In the rest of
this Chapter, we will try to show this fact from Scripture. Certain
points will be repetition, and we've tried to avoid this as much as
possible. The subject of the New Covenant is very simple, but
because the enemy of our souls has complicated it in an attempt to
prevent us from understanding it, he has made it appear complicated.
Sadly many Ministers have done the same. From here on in this
chapter we will focus on the </span></span></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>Power</b></i></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">

<span style="color: black;">The naysayers have no choice but to deny these
Bible Texts, so they have several choices. They can distort the
Texts. They can Ignore the Texts. Then there is of course their
favorite; reverse the Texts! Pastor, if anyone truly understands the
above eight Scriptures, he or she may not need to proceed any further
in this Chapter. However, pretty much everything contained in these
Verses is severely challenged by Mainstream Christianity, including
Pre-Trib, so, let's look a little closer. Incidentally, the above
eight Scriptures are a very small sample of Bible Verses saying
exactly same about the New Covenant. </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.2in;">
<span style="color: red;"><i><b>Mainstream
Christianity and the New Covenant and New Testament</b></i></span><br />
Modern
Christians claim that their Churches are, <i><b>"New Covenant
Churches,"</b></i> or <i><b>"New Testament Churches."</b></i><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
We even see this as part of the names of many individual churches.
Almost always when they stress this, they are actually trying to
justify their position of setting aside God's Law, or at least a
portion of it. As you know, Pastor, th</span></span>e words
"Testament" and "Covenant" are exactly the same
word in the Greek Text. The word for both is <i><b>“Diatheke.”</b></i>
A general overview of Mainstream Christianity says the Old Covenant
was the 10 Commandments, and the system Moses set up for the Jews, as
opposed to the New Covenant, the system Jesus set up for the Church
which include in one form or another, disregarding the Law and the 10
Commandments. Actually this is partly true. However, when the
majority of Christians claim that Jesus excluded the 10 Commandments
when He set up the Church, replacing the Law with<i><b>"Grace,"
</b></i><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">this
is not correct. The Pondered Question here is,</span></span><i><b>
</b></i><span style="color: maroon;"><i><b>“Did the Church, in it's
diminishing and eliminating of God's 10 Commandments, cut off the
</b></i></span><span style="color: maroon;"><i><u><b>power</b></u></i></span><span style="color: maroon;"><i><b>
available to them through the New Covenant Relationship?” </b></i></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">And
if they did, was this actually Satan's plan? The follow up Question
would be, </span></span></span><span style="color: #b80047;"><i><b>“In
cutting off this Power, has Christianity actually delayed Christ's
return?”</b></i></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
We will show in this Chapter that this is exactly true.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;"><i><b>Pre-Trib
and the New Covenant</b></i></span><br />
Pastor, we've already looked
at this Chapter, and we've covered it in detail in Chapters 38, 39,
and 40, but we need to look closer because it opens a serious
un-answered and un-answerable Question. Since we are looking
primarily at Pre-Trib, let's look at documentation concerning the New
Covenant from the Scofield Study Bible. Many Scofield footnotes
address the New Covenant, so let's look at one that sums up the
Pre-Trib position: <i><b>“Although certain features of this
Covenant have been fulfilled for believers in this present Church
Age, the Covenant remains to be realized for Israel according to the
explicit statement of Verse 31” </b></i><i><span style="font-weight: normal;">(Scofield
Footnote for Jer. 31:31).</span></i><i><b> </b></i><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">The
Scofield note is saying that the</span></span><i><b> </b></i><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">New
Covenant has </span></span><i><u><b>some</b></u></i><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
principles that apply to the Church, but the real New Covenant, is
</span></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><u><span style="font-weight: normal;">NOT</span></u></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
for the Church, but for Jews after the Church has been Raptured to
Heaven. </span></span>Pre-Trib says the New Covenant will be set in
place starting with the Tribulation and continuing through the
Millennium.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.2in;">
<span style="color: red;"><i><b>Pre-Trib
Agrees - New Covenant Contains Power!
</b></i></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Pastor,
a close look at Pre-Trib's version of the New Covenant shows that
they absolutely do believe the Covenant gives power to believers to
live a very high standard of obedience, but says that Power is not
available during this present </span></span></span><span style="color: black;"><i><b>“Grace
Dispensation,”</b></i></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
but will be available in it's full strength </span></span></span><span style="color: black;"><i><b>only</b></i></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
to the Jews after the Rapture. Pastor, if you've carefully studied
this subject from Pre-Trib Study Bibles and Pre-Trib Textbooks,
you'll agree with what we are saying here. </span></span></span>Pre-Trib
says there are two reasons for their position. First, God <i><b>forbids</b></i>
us to attempt obeying all of the Law because we are under Grace and
not the Law. Second, Pre-Trib says obedience is impossible. Pre-Trib
says that anyone trying to keep God's Law is not only attempting the
impossible, they are actually denying the Grace that Jesus provided.
As you know, Pastor, the general feeling of Pre-Trib advocates is
that those in this Grace Dispensation are actually sinning if they
attempt to obey God's Law. Pre-Trib says such persons are rejecting
Grace in favor of that old Law.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.2in;">
<span style="color: red;"><i><b>Pre-Trib's
View of New Covenant Power </b></i></span><span style="color: red;"><i><u><b>After</b></u></i></span><span style="color: red;"><i><b>
the Rapture</b></i></span><br />
As we mentioned, Pre-Trib says that,
after the Rapture, the Jews will be the main focus of everything,
both from Christ, and from Antichrist. Pre-Trib says Antichrist will
declare an all-out war against the Jews during which time a very
large group of Jews will accept the Gospel of Jesus. Then, says
Pre-Trib, these newly Christianized Jews will fulfill John's Prophecy
that says, <span style="color: blue;"><i><b>“The Dragon (Satan) will be
wroth with the woman, and will go to make war with the remnant of her
seed, who </b></i></span><span style="color: blue;"><i><u><b>keep</b></u></i></span><span style="color: blue;"><i><b>
the </b></i></span><span style="color: blue;"><i><u><b>Commandments</b></u></i></span><span style="color: blue;"><i><b>
of </b></i></span><span style="color: blue;"><i><u><b>God</b></u></i></span><span style="color: blue;"><i><b>,
and have the Testimony of Jesus Christ” </b></i></span><i><span style="font-weight: normal;">(Rev.12:17)!
</span></i><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Although
Pre-Trib Promoters declare that Grace Age persons </span></span><i><b>cannot</b></i><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">,
under any circumstances, obey God's Law, these same Pre-Trib
Promoters admit that after the Church is Raptured, the newly
converted Jews </span></span><i><b>will be </b></i><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
</span></span><i><b>able</b></i><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
to keep the Commandments of God, and will do so while being in an all
out war with Satan and Antichrist!! The massive Pondered Question
here</span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
is, </span></span></span><span style="color: maroon;"><i><b>“If God is
able to give Jews, after the Rapture, the power and ability to obey
His Commandments, why is He not able, or not willing, to do so for us
Grace Age Christians? Has God chosen to keep us weak so that we
continue to sin?”</b></i></span><span style="color: maroon;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
</span></span></span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.2in;">
<span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">The
deeper Question to Ponder is, </span></span><span style="color: #94006b;"><i><b>“</b></i></span><span style="color: maroon;"><i><b>If
there is a Power available to us Grace Age Believers, but God is
purposefully holding it back from us, is He being fair to us now?
Would Satan want us to believe this lie about God? He would
absolutely!! Isn't Satan always inventing notions and doctrines to
attack God's Character?”</b></i></span><span style="color: #94006b;"><i><b>
</b></i></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
The even deeper Question to Ponder is, </span></span><span style="color: #b80047;"><i><span style="text-decoration: none;"><b>“If
this Power IS available to us now, and if God wants us to avail
ourselves of this Power, but we are refusing to seek it because we
have Doctrines that tell us it is </b></span></i></span><span style="color: #b80047;"><i><u><b>not</b></u></i></span><span style="color: #b80047;"><i><span style="text-decoration: none;"><b>
available, what should we do about that Doctrine?”</b></span></i></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.2in;">
<span style="color: red;"><i><b>Pondered
Question of Christ's Bride </b></i></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
Another
Question to Ponder has been covered carefully in Chapter 40, </span></span><i><b>“The
Bride of Christ.”</b></i><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
That Question is, </span></span><span style="color: maroon;"><i><b>“If God
has two separate groups of Believers, the Church before the Rapture,
and Jews after the Rapture, and God demands that the Church disregard
(disobey) His Law in favor of Grace, but after the Rapture, He
changes His standard for the Jews, demanding they obey His
Commandments, and God plans to honor one of these groups throughout
eternity, which group would it be more probable for Him to reward;
those that disobeyed, or those that obeyed?”
</b></i></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Pre-Trib
says God will absolutely honor the Church with the highest reward
available to created beings. Pre-Trib says that throughout eternity,
the Church will be rewarded by becoming the Bride of Christ, while
the Jew's reward will be to continue living here on this earth in
mortal bodies for an additional thousand years. Pre-Trib says this
entire earth will become a Millennial Paradise Kingdom. But, let's
look at reality. Is this earthly reward to the Jews far inferior to
that given the Church? The inconsistency of this is painfully obvious
and needs serious Pondering. Also worth Pondering is the following
Question. If the Church is allowed (demanded) to disregard (disobey)
God's Law and be rewarded for their actions, why doesn't that same
Grace exempt the Jews? That Question could be reversed. If God is
going to give special, New Covenant Power to the Jews during the
Tribulation, why would He refuse to give us that same power now? Does
God enjoy seeing the Church disregard His Commandments? Seriously,
Pastor! Do we need to re-examine that popular Pre-Trib view? </span></span></span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.2in;">
<span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">We
could expand on these Questions but it is plain to see that if we
hold to this belief that God is differentiating between the Church
and the Jews, we are implying that God changes; flip flops in His
dealing with His people. God says, </span></span><span style="color: blue;"><i><b>“For
I am the Lord, I change not”</b></i></span><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
</span></span><i><span style="font-weight: normal;">(Mal.3:6).</span></i></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.2in;">
<span style="color: red;"><i><b>The
Church and Grace</b></i></span><br />
Pre-Trib says that removing the
Law and replacing it with <i><b>"Grace" </b></i><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">comes
from P</span></span>aul repeatedly writing various forms of, <span style="color: blue;"><i><b>"We
are not under the Law. We are under Grace." </b></i></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Hu</span></span></span>ndreds
of thousands of popular Ministers tell their congregations every week
that they are New Testament or New Covenant believers and God does
not want them becoming entangled in that old Law. These Ministers
expound over and over, <span style="color: red;"><i><b>“No more Law –
Just Grace.”</b></i></span>

In
1999, this Author visited a Church in Atlanta Georgia. The Pastor was
alerted that there'd be a Sabbath observer visiting that day. His
entire sermon was all about the evils and shortcomings of the Old

Even</b></i></span><span style="color: red;"> </span><span style="color: red;"><i><b>desiring

clue as to the Bible definition of the New Covenant. Sadly, many
Minister do not. Let's look again at how the Bible defines the New
Covenant and address the part about it being only for the Jews and
not the Church:</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.2in;">
<span style="color: blue;"><i><b>"Behold,
the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a </b></i></span><span style="color: blue;"><i><u><b>New</b></u></i></span><span style="color: blue;"><i><b>
</b></i></span><span style="color: blue;"><i><u><b>Covenant</b></u></i></span><span style="color: blue;"><i><b>
with the house of </b></i></span><span style="color: blue;"><i><u><b>Israel</b></u></i></span><span style="color: blue;"><i><b>
and with the house of </b></i></span><span style="color: blue;"><i><u><b>Judah</b></u></i></span><span style="color: blue;"><i><b>;
Not according to the Covenant that I made with their fathers in the
day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of
Egypt, which, My Covenant they broke, although I was an husband unto
them, saith the Lord. But this is the </b></i></span><span style="color: blue;"><i><u><b>Covenant</b></u></i></span><span style="color: blue;"><i><b>
I will make with the house of Israel: After those days, saith the
Lord, I will put </b></i></span><span style="color: blue;"><i><u><b>My</b></u></i></span><span style="color: blue;"><i><b>
</b></i></span><span style="color: blue;"><i><u><b>Law</b></u></i></span><span style="color: blue;"><i><b>
into their inward parts, and will write it in their hearts, and I
will be their God, and they shall be My people"</b></i></span><span style="color: blue;"><b>
</b></span><span style="color: blue;"><i><span style="font-weight: normal;">(Jer.31:31-33)(s</span></i></span><span style="color: blue;"><i>ee
also Heb.8:8-10).</i></span><span style="color: blue;"><b><br /></b></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">A
surface reading </span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">might
make it appe</span></span></span><span style="color: black;">ar that
Pre-Trib is correct about the New Covenant being for the Jews only
and not the Church, </span><span style="color: black;"><i><b>until</b></i></span><span style="color: black;">
we look at when and where Jesus established the Covenant. It was at
His Last Supper with His </span><span style="color: black;"><i><b>Disciples</b></i></span><span style="color: black;">,
who, along with Jesus, were the Founders of His </span><span style="color: black;"><i><u><b>CHURCH</b></u></i></span><span style="color: black;">.
Thus, if the New Covenant is for Christ's Church, and the New
Covenant is Jesus </span><span style="color: blue;"><i><b>"writing
His Law in their inward parts and in their hearts,"</b></i></span><span style="color: black;">
then the notion that, </span><span style="color: red;"><i><b>"Grace
has freed us from God's Law and that Grace </b></i></span><span style="color: red;"><i><u><b>demands</b></u></i></span><span style="color: red;"><i><b>
we set aside God's Law,"</b></i></span><span style="color: black;"> is
a complete contradiction. The popular version of the New Covenant is
a complete reversal of what God said! Imagine the </span><span style="color: black;"><i><b>power
</b></i></span><span style="color: black;">Christians would have if they
all had Christ's Law written in their minds and hearts!</span><span style="color: blue;">
</span><span style="color: blue;"><i><b>"All the world"</b></i></span><span style="color: black;">
would </span><span style="color: blue;"><i><b>“Witness”</b></i></span><span style="color: black;">

there's no possibility for any one to accuse us of promoting
salvation by works. We have not! We are not! We will not; <i><b>EVER</b></i>!

Bible
Prophets tell us that someday a Remnant of Christian Believers (the
Church, the Bride of Christ, the Elect) will declare, <span style="color: red;"><i><b>"We've
had Enough of this Wicked World!" </b></i></span>They'll be fed
up with the Doctrines of Demons that Satan has implanted into
Christianity. God will send His Spirit to,<span style="color: blue;">
</span><span style="color: blue;"><i><b>"Guide them into all
truth...and show them things to come" </b></i></span><i>(Jn.16:13),</i>
then God will supply them with the strength to be <span style="color: blue;"><i><b>"overcomers"</b></i></span><span style="color: black;">
</span><span style="color: black;"><i>(Rev.21:7) </i></span><span style="color: black;">and
to</span> <span style="color: blue;"><i><b>"witness to all nations"</b></i></span><span style="color: #000099;"><i><b>
</b></i></span><i>(Matt.24:14) </i>the <span style="color: blue;"><i><b>life
changing power </b></i></span><i>(Heb.13:20-21)</i> of the true
<span style="color: blue;"><i><b>"Gospel of the Kingdom"
</b></i></span><span style="font-size: small;"><i>(Matt.24:14)</i></span><i>. </i><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>Then,

<i><b><br /></b></i><span style="color: red;"><i><b>"Let
the FOUR WINDS BLOW!"</b></i></span><br />
<span style="color: black;">When
the above happens, God </span>can then tell the 4 angels holding the
"<span style="color: blue;"><i><b>winds of strife" </b></i></span><i>(Rev.7:1)</i>
to let go so the World and the Universe can witness for a final time
how horribly wrong Satan has been with his lie that God's Law is
impossible to obey. When Jesus defeated the powers of darkness at the
cross, it was a crushing death-blow to Satan, but, Satan, through the
workings of his evil Gnostics in the Early Church, cried foul. Satan,
through his Gnostics, declared that Jesus was never human at all, and
that He used His Divinity to overcome him and his demons. That
Gnostic lie, in a slightly revised form, is now being proclaimed
throughout the world by some of the most influential Ministers within
Christianity.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;"><i><b>"The Law of God
was</b></i></span><span style="color: red;"><i><u><b> NEVER</b></u></i></span><span style="color: red;"><i><b>
Made to be Kept"</b></i></span><br />
<span style="color: #ffccff;">.</span>A
popular TV Minister uses the above quote over and again in his weekly
TV Sermons. He says the <i><u><b>only</b></u></i> reason God gave the
10 Commandments was to show us how weak we are. He is correct that,
in our own strength, we cannot obey God's Law. But, Paul said,<span style="color: blue;">
</span><span style="color: blue;"><i><b>"I can do </b></i></span><span style="color: blue;"><i><u><b>ALL</b></u></i></span><span style="color: blue;"><i><b>
things through Christ who strengtheneth me" </b></i></span><i>(Phil.4:13).
</i><span style="font-style: normal;">Are our Ministers sayin</span>g
the text should read, <span style="color: red;"><i><b>"I can do ALL
things through Christ who strengthens me, </b></i></span><span style="color: red;"><i><u><b>EXCEPT</b></u></i></span><span style="color: red;"><i><b>

<span style="color: #000099;"><i><b>"I

<i>(see Heb.8:8-10; Heb.10:16; Jer.31:31-33). </i><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">When
God says He will put His Laws into their minds and hearts, could His
Laws include the same Law </span></span>that Christians are
declaring, <span style="color: red;"><i><b>“Grace has Abolished”</b></i></span>

<span style="color: #ffccff;">.</span><span style="color: #000099;">
</span><br />
<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>Another

We must never forget that it is
not because we have determined to obey God's Law that we have the
strength to do so. It is <i><b>only</b></i> because God, <span style="color: blue;"><i><b>“puts
His Laws in our hearts and minds,”</b></i></span> that we obey.
Satan has two blasphemous proclamations concerning humans ability to
overcome sin:
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.2in;">
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="SPELLING_ERROR_8"></a><span style="color: red;"><i><b>1.Satan
wants humans to proclaim that they can never and will never become
overcomers, no matter how much they seek help from God.</b></i></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.2in;">
<span style="color: red;"><i><b>2.Satan
wants humans to declare that they can defeat him in <u>their</u> <u>own</u>
<u>strength.</u> </b></i></span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.2in;">
These are lies directly from Satan,
and Satan cares not which becomes our belief. Throughout
Christianity, these two Blasphemes are declared, tucked away in
various philosophies. Sadly, otherwise good Ministers are proclaiming
various versions of these lies to their congregations. If our
Ministers would expose these two lies from Satan and tell the truth
about Christ's Covenant, Satan will be in for the battle of his life,
and he will lose, big time, period!
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.2in;">
<span style="color: red;">“<i><b>Trapped
in These Evil Bodies
</b></i></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Satan</span></span></span><span style="color: red;"><i><b>
</b></i></span>inspires otherwise good Ministers to proclaim
variations of his doctrine declaring God's Law is impossible to obey.
Following is a version that is daily proclaimed throughout
Christianity by otherwise good Ministers<b>:</b><span style="color: #ffccff;">.</span><br />
<span style="color: red;"><i><b>"We
are all trapped in bodies and minds so sinful and defiled that it's
impossible for us to obey God's Law. We CANNOT and WILL NOT overcome
sin while in this present world in these evil bodies. Even if God
takes complete control of our minds and bodies, it'll NEVER happen.
We'll </b></i></span><span style="color: #94006b;"><i><b>CONTINUE IN SIN</b></i></span><span style="color: #b80047;"><i><b>
</b></i></span><span style="color: red;"><i><b>right up until we see
Jesus come." </b></i></span><br />
<span style="color: #ffccff;">.</span><br />
Satan
artfully sells this notion to almost the entire Christian world.
Christianity has an ongoing debate as to how Jesus was able to live
without sin and in so doing, defeat Satan and his demons. Satan has
tried to promote the notion that the only reason Jesus defeated him
was because Jesus never became truly human. The enemy of our souls
would have us believe Jesus was victorious because He used His Divine
Power. Satan would have us believe that whatever Power Jesus had,
that Power is not available to us. He wants us to believe that we're
“Trapped in Evil Bodies and Evil Minds,” that are incapable of
obeying God. As in every doctrine that Satan invents, there's always
that element of truth upon which he builds his case. The fact is, we
all do have a sinful nature; a nature that cannot, in our own
strength defeat the powers of darkness. But a nature that can say, <span style="color: blue;"><i><b>“I
can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” </b></i></span>(Phil.4:13).</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.2in;">
Let's take a moment to look at when
and where this, <i><b>“Trapped in an Evil Body”</b></i> notion
entered the Early Church. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://gnostics-sabbath-abolishers.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: #000099;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>The
Gnostics</b></i></span></span></a><span style="color: #000099;"><i><b>
</b></i></span><br />
Pastor, we again encourage our Readers to be sure
to check out Chapter 44, “The Gnostics.” These evil implants from
Satan are responsible for a great many false doctrines that are still
prevalent in Mainstream Christianity. Here in this section we will
focus only on the evil notion that Jesus did not <span style="color: blue;"><i><b>“Come
in the flesh”</b></i></span> (1Jn.4:2).<span style="color: black;"> By
using the Gnostic's proclamation that Christ did not come to earth in
human flesh, Satan cleverly designed</span> that evil doctrine
declaring that Christ used His Divinity to resist sin. John wrote
1John and 2John primarily to expose the Gnostics in the Early Church.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.2in;">
<span style="color: #94006b;"><i><b>Did
Christ "Come in the Flesh"? Was He Human?</b></i></span><br />
Following
is what John wrote concerning the Gnostics. The actual name John gave
these evil characters was <i><b>antichrists.</b></i> This is very
important and we'll see why in a moment.<br />
<span style="color: #ffccff;">.</span><br />
<span style="color: red;"><i><b>1Jn.
4:1-3 </b></i></span><span style="color: #000099;"><i><b>"Beloved,

</b></i></span><span style="color: #000099;"><i><u><b>Christ</b></u></i></span><span style="color: #000099;"><i><b>
</b></i></span><span style="color: #000099;"><i><u><b>is</b></u></i></span><span style="color: #000099;"><i><b>

</b></i></span><span style="color: #000099;"><i><u><b>in</b></u></i></span><span style="color: #000099;"><i><b>

</b></i></span><span style="color: #000099;"><i><u><b>flesh</b></u></i></span><span style="color: #000099;"><i><b>
is of God; And every spirit that confesseth </b></i></span><span style="color: #000099;"><i><u><b>NOT</b></u></i></span><span style="color: #000099;"><i><b>
that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God; and this is
that </b></i></span><span style="color: #000099;"><i><u><b>spirit</b></u></i></span><span style="color: #000099;"><i><b>
of </b></i></span><span style="color: #000099;"><i><u><b>antichrist</b></u></i></span><span style="color: #000099;"><i><b>."</b></i></span><i><b>
</b></i><br />
John repeats this same warning in his second
Epistle.<br />
<span style="color: #000099;"><i><b>"For many deceivers are
entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in
the </b></i></span><span style="color: #000099;"><i><u><b>flesh</b></u></i></span><span style="color: #000099;"><i><b>.
This is a deceiver and an </b></i></span><span style="color: #000099;"><i><u><b>antichrist</b></u></i></span><span style="color: #000099;"><i><b>"</b></i></span><span style="color: #000099;">
</span><span style="color: #000099;"><i>(2Jn. 7). </i></span><br />
<br />
Notice
that John wrote, <span style="color: blue;"><i><b>“Jesus Christ,”
</b></i></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">here
instead of “Jesus” or “Christ.”</span></span></span><span style="color: blue;"><i><b>
</b></i></span>There is possibly a reason he used both names. The
“antichrists” John wrote about in this Epistle taught that Jesus
and Christ were originally two entirely separate entities. They
actually deny the whole story of the birth of Jesus. They declared
emphatically that Christ was <i><u><b>not</b></u></i> human and was
<i><u><b>not</b></u></i> born of Mary. Many Gnostics claimed that
Jesus may have been born as a human, but Christ absolutely was not
born of a woman. They said the God who created this earth was evil,
and His method of reproduction was proof that He was evil and
perverted. They said if Christ had been born of a woman, it would
mean He participated in the evil reproductive system designed by the
Creator. Thus, said the Gnostics, Christ only <i><b>pretended</b></i>
to be human, but was really an Angel type creature, and was actually
the Son of the “High God.”<br />
<br />
Pastor, if John says
<i><b>antichrists </b></i>claim Christ was <i><b>NOT</b></i> <i><b>human,</b></i>
and today's popular preachers proclaim something very similar, should
we be seriously concerned? And what does this have to do with
overcoming sin and the New Covenant? It has <i><b>everything</b></i>
to do with both. Let's look.<br />
<span style="color: #ffccff;">.</span><br />

also the following</span><span style="font-size: small;"><b>:</b></span><br />

</span></i></span></span><i><b><br /></b></i><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Obviously
it was important to John and Paul that we know for a certainty that
Jesus came to earth in the flesh and was truly human, tempted as we
are tempted. And, obvious it was extremely important to the Gnostics
(antichrists) and to Satan that we believe Christ did </span></span><i><b>NOT</b></i><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
come as a human. Why?</span></span><br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.2in;">

popular preachers say Christ's nature was </span><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>
different </b></i></span><span style="font-size: small;">from ours, especially since the
Bible says Jesus was, </span><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>"made
like His brethren?"</b></i></span></span><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;">
</span></span><span style="font-size: small;">Why does Satan care? He cares because the
message was going throughout the whole world that Jesus had defeated
Satan. Every angel in God's Universe now knew that Jesus lived His
life here on earth as a human and did not sin. Imagine that! A Human,
</span><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>“overcame”</b></i></span></span><span style="font-size: small;">
Satan by asking for and receiving power from God. Underscore
</span><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><u><b>“overcame”</b></u></i></span></span><span style="font-size: small;">
because we'll come back to it next. Satan knows what will happen to
him if all humans discover the, </span><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>“Power
from God” </b></i></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">that
Jesus used! When Paul wrote,</span></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
</span></span></span></span><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>“I

should have settled it. However, for the vast majority of Christians,
it did not.</span></span></span><br />

this Strength and Power to “Overcome” Unavailable To

<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>Our
Modern Popular Preachers</b></i></span></span><br />
Pastor, what we
relate next is difficult to believe, but it happens <i><b>very</b></i>
often. Ministers claiming that it is impossible to, <span style="color: blue;"><i><b>“Overcome
as Jesus overcame,”</b></i></span> are sometimes confronted as to
what Jesus meant. All too often our popular Preachers display their
anger and retort that we must overcome the notion that God wants us
to rid ourselves of sin. As is always the case when Ministers openly
reject clear Scripture, their words make them look ever so foolish.
These Ministers are actually declaring, <span style="color: red;"><i><b>“Jesus
is saying you must Overcome your desire to Overcome!”</b></i></span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.2in;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Such
Ministers developed cute little phrases that are actually true, or
partly true, some even quoting Scripture, but these phrases quoted
out of context can send a seriously false message:</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>"You're
Under Grace! Not the Law"</b></i></span></span><br />
<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>"Jesus
loves you unconditionally"
"God
loves you just the way you are!"</b></i></span></span><br />
<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>"It
is impossible to stop sinning in your own strength"</b></i></span></span><br />
<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>"Jesus
overcame for you"</b></i></span></span><br />
<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>
“There's nothing you can do or say that will make God love you any

filthy rags" </b></i></span></span>

</span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Let's
look once again at what Paul said about this.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span><span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>Phil.4:13</b></i></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #000099;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>"I

who strengtheneth me."</b></i></span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>
</b></i></span><br />
If we just compare these two Scriptures, we'll
have a clear view of this whole subject. <span style="font-size: small;">Although our
popular Ministers don't come right out and say it, they actually
dispute both of these Scriptures. Concerning Christ saying He can of
His own self do nothing, our Preachers seem to be thinking, </span><span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>“No,
John! That can't be what Jesus said! He would have said He could do
</b></i></span></span><span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><u><b>everything</b></u></i></span></span><span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>
in His own Strength.”</b></i></span></span><span style="font-size: small;"> And
concerning Paul saying we can do all things through Christ who
strengthens us, based on our Preachers sermons, they'd say, </span><span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>"Nay
Paul! Thou art Wrong! We Cannot overcome sin, even if Christ
Strengthens us!</b></i></span></span><span style="color: #330033;"><span style="font-size: small;">
Are the Preachers correct? </span></span><span style="font-size: small;">Is “</span><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>overcoming”</b></i></span><span style="font-size: small;">
an exception to Paul's promise? </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.2in;">
<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>Is
Satan's Lie Repeated Today?</b></i></span></span><br />
The <span style="font-size: small;">Gnostic
lie about Jesus' nature has been revised up a bit, but those evil
seeds of blasphemy have blossomed. Many of our popular Ministers say
Jesus wasn't </span><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>really</b></i></span><span style="font-size: small;">
like His brethren.</span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"> They
say,</span></span><span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span><span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i>"</i></span></span><span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>He

an answer. They declare that, </span><span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>"Jesus
had Adam's nature before Adam sinned."</b></i></span></span><span style="font-size: small;">

is there any way to read this Verse and conclude that Jesus had
Adam's nature before Adam sinned? Is there any way to read this and
conclude that Jesus had a nature different from Abraham or His
Disciples? The subject of this whole Chapter is to answer the
question of why Jesus waits and what He needs for us to do so that He
can return. It should be clear by now that Jesus wants us to do
exactly what He told us in His message to the Laodician Church: </span></span></span></span><span style="color: #000099;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>"To
him that </b></i></span></span><span style="color: #000099;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><u><b>overcometh</b></u></i></span></span><span style="color: #000099;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>

</b></i></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">t</span></span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">hus,</span></span></span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">

Satan</span><span style="font-size: small;"><b>! </b></span><br />
<span style="color: #ffccff;"><span style="font-size: small;">..</span></span><br />
If
the naysayers are correct; if Overcoming is impossible, even if we
ask Jesus to give us the strength, why did Jesus say, <span style="color: blue;"><i><b>“To
him that OVERCOMETH”</b></i></span> to all seven of the Churches,
and then end the Book of Revelation with the same message? Pastor,
this is a very serious Question! If Jesus said these very words to us
eight times while knowing full well that overcoming is totally
impossible, even if He supplies us with the strength, this would mean
He is taunting us and mocking us! <span style="font-size: small;"> We know, of course,
He did not! </span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal;">Jesus
was Human, so, He asked His Father to give Him the necessary strength
to </span></span><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>“overcome”</b></i></span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal;">
Satan. Obviously we must do the same.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.2in;">
<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>Two
Questions</b></i></span></span><br />
We must ask the naysayers two
Questions:<span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>(1)</b></i></span></span><span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>"Is God stronger than Satan?"</b></i></span><span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>(2)
</b></i></span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>"Is there any sin so
powerful that God Himself cannot give you the victory?" </b></i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />The
naysayers refuse to answer and attempt to counter the questions with
the following</span><span style="font-size: small;"><b>: </b></span><span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>"</b></span></span><span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: small;">Well,
I don't know about that, but I know the Bible says </span></span><span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>'All
our righteousness is as filthy rags,'</b></i></span></span><span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: small;">and </span></span><span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>'All
have sinned and come short of the glory of God.'</b></i></span></span><span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: small;">So the Bible says we </span></span><span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><u><b>can't
</b></u></i></span></span><span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: small;">stop
sinning</span></span><span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>,</b></span></span><span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: small;">
so we're all going to </span></span><span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>Continue
in Sin</b></i></span></span><span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: small;"> till
Jesus Comes!"</span></span><span style="font-size: small;"> </span><br />
Pastor, the
true explanation of these two Bible texts is very plain, if we read
them in context. But the explanation is lengthy, so we'll save it
till the end of this Chapter.
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.2in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Pastor, the Bible is
full admonition for us to “Overcome,” and to live in obedience to
God's Laws and His will. In each Scripture, we are promised strength.

<span style="color: #000099;"><span style="font-size: small;">The New
Covenant is the weapon with which we defeat Satan.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span><span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>Heb.13:20-21

<br />
<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>1
Cor.10:31 </b></i></span></span><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>"Whether,
therefore, ye eat or drink, or whatever ye do, do all to the glory of
God." </b></i></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />When anyone
expresses belief in these Bible Verses, Satan sees that such a person
is called fanatic, legalist, and a host of other ugly names. Often
otherwise good Ministers say, </span><span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>"God
loves you just the way you are!" "You can't behave your way
into Heaven!" "All your righteousness is as filthy rags."</b></i></span></span><span style="font-size: small;">
</span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.2in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">It is with these and
many other clever sayings that Satan smuggles doctrines of demons
into the Church. Believing Satan's lie instead of the Word of God was
the first sin committed by the human race. Believing God's Word and
exposing Satan's lies will be the final act of God's people. Let's do
it! Let's ask Jesus to empower us so that we can reflect His
character in </span><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>everything </b></i></span><span style="font-size: small;">we
do. </span><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>“Whether
therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatever ye do, do all to the Glory of
God”</b></i></span></span><span style="font-size: small;"> </span><span style="font-size: small;"><i>(1Cor.10:31).</i></span><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>
“Know ye not that ye are the Temple of God, and that the Spirit of
God dwelleth in you? If any man defile the Temple of God, him will
God destroy, for the Temple of God is Holy, which Temple ye are”</b></i></span></span><span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;"><i>(1Cor.3:16-17).</i></span><span style="font-size: small;"> When
we take these tasks seriously, and ask God for the strength to </span><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>“do
ALL to the Glory of God,”</b></i></span></span><span style="font-size: small;"> He
will answer our prayer and soon He can come and takes us home. </span>

Pastor, is this not exactly what is happening? Are Christians
denying that God will give them the power to obey Him and overcome
Satan? </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.2in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Everything we own, we
should give to God. Everything we do, we should do for God. Every TV
program we watch—all of our music—all of our friends—everything
we eat—drink—everything must be turned over to God. </span><span style="color: #000099;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>Eyes
have not seen nor ears heard the power available to those who are
willing to give their all to God. </b></i></span></span>

<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>Naysayer
Movements Within Christianity
</b></i></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Pretty
much the whole of Christianity opposes the Bible Truth about God's
people becoming </span></span></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>“Overcomers.”</b></i></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
There are, however, two debates that we will touch on briefly. </span></span></span></span></span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.2in;">
<span style="color: red;"><span style="color: black;">“<span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>Lordship
Salvation” </b></i></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
There is an ongoing
debate within Christianity called, “Lordship Salvation.” The
majority of Christianity understands that in order to be saved we
must declare Jesus our “Lord and Savior.” However the enemy of
our souls has introduced into Christianity the notion that Jesus is
our Savior, but not necessarily our Lord. Satan has taken this debate
to its ultimate extreme. The word “Lord” implies that Jesus is
our Boss, and as our Boss, He requires certain things from us. It is
on that word “requires” that the opposers take issue. They say
that any “requirements” constitute “works,” thus if we say
Jesus is our Lord, we must do all that He requires. They go on to say
we are not saved by works, thus making Jesus our Lord is denying
Grace and in so doing, we are sinning. Pastor, it is likely that
you've heard of this debate, but if not, you can Google, “</span></span></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>Lordship
Salvation,</b></i></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">”
and discover a great many Websites describing it.</span></span></span></span></span></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0.2in;">
<span style="color: black;">“<span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>Hyper Grace”</b></i>
This
debate is almost the same as the Lordship Salvation debate. One of
the key issues in Hyper Grace is a claim that, after the Cross,
Christians need not ask God for forgiveness when they sin. This
notion is a way of emphasizing that when Jesus died on the cross, His
death forgave all sins for everyone; sins that are past, present and
future. Those promoting this movement have opened the door to
Universalism, the belief that eventually everyone will be saved.
Hyper Grace promoters have developed certain wording in order to
downgrade those who do not accept their doctrine. They tell us how
they oppose, “Behavior Salvation,” which is just another way of
saying, “Salvation by Works.” </span></span>
</div>
<div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0.2in;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;">It is our belief that the enemy of
our souls is directly responsible for both of these debates within
Christianity. Pastor, let's be honest. Actually such attacks against
true Christianity are the inevitable outgrowth of the old original
doctrine of, <span style="color: maroon;"><i><b>“Grace Gives Us Permission
to Disobey God's Law.”</b></i></span> Again, Pastor, if you are not
familiar with the Hyper Grace Movement, the internet is full of more
detailed information.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.2in;">
<span style="color: red;"><i><b>Two Bible
Verses Quoted by the Naysayers</b></i></span><br />
M<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">illions
of times throughout Christian History, in an attempt to justify their
proclamation that overcoming is impossible and that sinning is
acceptable, Naysayers have quoted the following two Scriptures
thinking these verify their point. </span></span></span></span><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>“All
our Righteousnesses are as filthy Rages”</b></i></span></span><span style="color: maroon;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>

anyone prayerfully reading these Scriptures in their context, all the
way through, will quickly see that, instead of agreeing with the
Naysayer's position, both texts completely and absolutely deny it.
Let's look.</span></span></span></span></div>

did Isaiah say about those who overcome? God will,</span></span></span></span><span style="color: #000099;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>

<br /></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0.2in;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;">Why would anyone quote this
passage to support the notion that God's people will not, can not,
become overcomers? Every time this passage is quoted as proof that we
can go right on sinning till Jesus comes, those quoting it are
actually condemning themselves! Isaiah points out that they are
actually flaunting their sinfulness and claiming they need not
correct their filthy rag condition. Again, if anyone reads the whole
Scripture passage, it becomes clear that Isaiah is describing
perfectly the condition of today. We suggest also that Isaiah was
actually covering three time periods with this prophecy, thus there
are three applications.</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.2in;">
<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>First
Application:</b></i></span></span><span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: small;">
</span></span><span style="font-size: small;">Isaiah wrote before the Babylonian
captivity. God told him to warn Israel that if they remained in their
</span><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>filthy rag</b></i></span><span style="font-size: small;">
condition, and refused to repent, He would use the Babylonians to
destroy Jerusalem and their Temple as a punishment against them. But,
like today's </span><span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>"Grace
frees us to disobey God's Law"</b></i></span></span><span style="font-size: small;">
promoters, it is clear from Isaiah's words that Israel was actually
proud of the fact that they were ignoring God's Law. Perhaps this is
why Isaiah used graphic words like </span><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>filthy</b></i></span><span style="font-size: small;"><i>
(bloody) </i></span><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>rags.</b></i></span><span style="font-size: small;"><i>
</i></span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.2in;">
<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>Second
Application: </b></i></span></span><span style="font-size: small;">Even though God
punished Israel by allowing Babylon to take them captive for 70
years, their </span><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>filthy rag</b></i></span><span style="font-size: small;">
condition continued on right up until they rejected and killed Jesus.
</span><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>Filthy rags</b></i></span><span style="font-size: small;"> is
not even graphic enough to describe people who kill the Savior of the
World. Notice that in the first application, God warned that their
Nation and their City and their Temple would be devastated. And of
course it happened exactly as God warned. Sadly, the same thing
happened again after Christ's ministry because they again ignored the
fact that their righteousness was like filthy rages!</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.2in;">
<span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>Third
and Final Application:</b></i></span></span><span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>"Righteousnesses as filthy rags"</b></i></span><span style="font-size: small;">
is directed at the last days just before Jesus returns. In other
words, today</span><span style="font-size: small;"><b>!</b></span><span style="font-size: small;"> The
Prophecy speaks directly to the very people using the Prophecy as an
excuse to reject the Bible proof that God will have a people just
before Christ's coming that totally reflect His Character! </span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">
Today's</span></span></span></span><span style="font-size: small;"> last-day professed
believers are bragging that they'll be saved in their </span><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>filthy
rag</b></i></span><span style="font-size: small;"> condition—bragging that </span><span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>"Grace"</b></i></span></span><span style="font-size: small;">
covers their open rejection of God's Law! They refuse to ask the Lord
for strength to overcome, choosing rather to latch on to the very
Scripture that rebukes their Doctrine of Demons. </span>
</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.2in;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Now
let's look at the other so-called “Proof Text” quoted by the
Naysayers. We'll see that it too is actually a scathing rebuke to any
notion that God's people will keep right on sinning till Jesus
returns.</span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">Paul
said we've all sinned, but he didn't say we could </span><span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>Continue
in Sin</b></i></span></span><span style="font-size: small;">. He said, </span><span style="color: blue;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>"sins

</span></span><span style="font-size: small;">Over and over again, throughout his letter
to the Romans, Paul stressed his position. He even used the exact
words, </span><span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>"continue
in sin"</b></i></span></span><span style="font-size: small;"> when identifying this
evil doctrine. He wrote</span><span style="font-size: small;"><b>:</b></span><span style="font-size: small;">
</span><span style="color: #000099;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>"</b></span></span><span style="color: #000099;"><span style="font-size: small;">Shall

that Grace may abound? God forbid! How shall we, that are dead to

</span></span><span style="color: #000099;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i>(Rm.6:1-2)? </i></span></span><span style="font-size: small;">Paul
packed his letter to the Roman Church with disclaimers making sure we
understand that Satan, not Paul, invented the demonic doctrine of,
</span><span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>"Grace frees us
to disobey God's Law." </b></i></span></span><span style="font-size: small;">He
wrote, </span><span style="color: #000099;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>"What
then? Shall we sin, because we are not under the Law, but under
grace? God forbid. Know ye not that to whom ye yield yourselves

</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">How many times must Paul write, </span><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>"God
forbid,"</b></i></span><span style="font-size: small;"> before we understand his
message? Paul says we have a choice: </span><span style="color: #000099;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>"Sin
unto death," </b></i></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;">or</span></span><span style="color: #993399;"><span style="font-size: small;">

unto righteousness."</b></i></span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.2in;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Thus, for Naysayers to
quote, </span><span style="color: #000099;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>"All our
righteousness is as filthy rags" </b></i></span></span><span style="color: #663366;"><span style="font-size: small;">and
</span></span><span style="color: #000099;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>"All have
sinned and come short of the glory of God," </b></i></span></span><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">should
</span></span></span></span><span style="font-size: small;">only impress those who've
never carefully read their proof-texts. Our popular preachers, and
all other naysayers, should carefully study these, their proof texts,
because the Verses do not support their position, period. Not a
single Scripture anywhere in the Bible remotely supports any version
of the doctrine of, </span><span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>“Grace

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><i><span style="color: #000099;">Do Little Sins Really Matter?</span></i></b></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Some say, <b><i><span style="color: red;">"Just get save." </span></i></b>They add, <b><i><span style="color: red;">"Of course you need to give up those obvious sins; murder, robbery, burglary, this kind of thing. But those little things that only the legalist and fanatics worry about are no big deal. God loves you unconditionally."</span></i></b> They quote Paul, so let's look at what Paul really says about little sins.</span><i><span style="color: red; font-size: small;"><b>Text #10— 1Cor.6:9-10</b></span></i><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #000099;"><b>"</b>Know ye not that the <b><i>unrighteous</i></b> shall <span style="color: #000099;"><b><i>not inherit the Kingdom of God</i></b></span>? Be not deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, nor thieves, nor <b><i>covetous</i></b>, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the Kingdom of God<b>."</b></span><br />A little sin like coveting could keep us out of God's Kingdom? Paul says more<b>:</b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: small;"><i><b>Text #11— Gal.5:19-20</b></i></span><span style="color: #000099;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>"</b>Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, <i><b>emulations</b> <span style="font-size: 78%;">[envy],</span></i> <b><i>wrath</i></b>, strife, <b><i>seditions</i></b> <i><span style="font-size: 78%;">[divisiveness],</span></i> heresies, drunkenness, revelings, and the like; of which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they that do such things </span><b><i>shall not inherit the Kingdom of God".</i></b></span><br />
Getting mad? Bad temper? Envy? If all who do such <i><b><span style="color: #000099;">"shall not inherit the Kingdom of God",</span></b></i> what must we do? We can ask for and receive cleansing and victory from God, or we can cling to Satan's doctrine of <span style="font-size: large;"><b><i><span style="color: red;"><span style="font-size: small;">Continue in Sin</span>.</span></i></b> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Paul's statements are too important to miss. It's true that<b>:</b> <b><i>"We cannot behave our way into Heaven".</i></b> It's exactly true, but those saying it are trying to excuse little cherished misbehaviors they don’t want to give up. The saying was coined by </span><a href="http://teaching-anomia.blogspot.com/"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><span style="color: red;">Continue in S</span><span style="color: red;">in</span></i> promoters</span></a><span style="font-size: small;">. But Paul's wording in our study text says he is getting annoyed with telling them over and over again the same thing. He wrote, <span style="color: #000099;"><b>"</b>of which <b><i>I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past</i></b>, that they that do such things shall <b><i>NOT</i></b> inherit the Kingdom of God.<b>"</b></span> Paul says there are behaviors that can and will keep us out of Heaven. Let's not say <span style="color: red;"><b><i>"Nay Paul. Thou art wrong again!"</i></b> </span><span style="color: #663366;">This is serious and Paul's <b><i>NOT WRONG!!</i></b></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">It is ironic that preachers and teachers promoting the <span style="color: red;"><i><b>Continue in Sin</b></i></span> doctrine are on a never-ending quest to declare that all disagreeing with them are <span style="color: red;"><i><b>destined for Hell</b></i></span>. In the Chattanooga Tennessee area there's a popular, <b><i><span style="color: red;">Continue in Sin,</span></i></b> </span><a href="http://teaching-anomia.blogspot.com/"><span style="font-size: small;">preacher</span></a><span style="font-size: small;"> who, in one of his sermons, was denouncing those disagreeing with him. He became extremely irate and in a very harsh tone said his opponents would be lost and burn in Hell, the very thing Paul said would happen to the promoters of <span style="color: red;"><i><b>Continue in Sin</b></i></span>. After displaying his bad temper, the preacher apologized for his inappropriate behavior. He made it very clear, however, that he was sorry <b><i>only</i></b> for the manner in which he spoke, and <b><i>not at all sorry</i></b> for what he said. In all his sermons he uses examples of how he rescues discouraged people because they feel Christian requirements are too difficult. He tells of people who've stopped attending Church and given up on Christianity, but then are delighted by the <b><i>new-found</i></b> freedom he offers them. It's not <b><i>new-found! </i></b>The serpent introduced it to Eve in the Garden! </span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">Things we can do <b>ONLY</b> "through Christ", <b>NEVER</b> on our own!<br /><br /><span style="color: red;"><b><i>Text #14— LUKE 6:27-30,34,35 </i></b></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #000099;"><b>"</b>But I say unto you that hear, <b><i>Love your enemies</i></b>, <b><i>do good to them who hate you</i></b>. <b><i>Bless them that curse you</i></b>, and <b><i>pray for them who despitefully use you</i></b>. And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek, <b><i>offer also the other</i></b>; and him that <b><i>taketh away thy cloak</i></b>, forbid not to take <b><i>thy coat also</i></b>. <b><i>Give to every man that asketh</i></b> of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods <b><i>ask them not again</i>"</b><i><span style="font-size: 78%;"> Vss.27-30).</span></i></span> <span style="color: #000099;"><i><b>"But love your enemies</b></i>, and <b><i>do good</i></b>, and <b><i>lend, hoping for nothing again</i></b>; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be Children of the Highest; for He is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil<b>"</b> <i><span style="font-size: 78%;">(Vss.34-35). </span></i></span></span><br />
<span style="color: #000099;"><span style="font-size: small;">Doing such in our own strength is impossible. Even when we ask for and receive strength from God, the above can suck the very life out of a person. Must we reach this point in order to be saved? Jesus said, <span style="color: #000099;"><b><i>"EVERYONE that heareth these sayings of Mine, and DOETH THEM NOT, shall be likened unto a foolish man, who built his house upon the sand,... and great was the fall of it"</i></b> <span style="font-size: 78%;">(Matt.7:26-27).</span></span> Every Christian is responsible to live the Sermon on the Mount. If a doctrine says you can ignore these words of Jesus, get as far from it as you can. Run for your very life—your eternal life. Hundreds of Biblical tasks are impossible, but we <b><i>must do them</i></b>! Paul said, <span style="color: #000099;"><b>"</b>We can do <b><i>ALL </i></b>things through Christ who strengthens us<b>"</b> <span style="font-size: 78%;"><i>(Phil.4:13).</i></span></span></span></span><br />
