“Grace” That Leads To Sin And Death

 

 

 

When I look at Christianity, I hate what I see regarding their attitude towards sin and righteousness.  They claim “the blood of Jesus” to an extent that as it says in Jude 1:4—they “turn the grace of our God into licentiousness/sensuality and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.”  And Jude goes on to describe them in verses 14-15:  “It was also about these men that Enoch, in the seventh generation from Adam, prophesied, saying, ‘Behold, the Lord came with many thousands of His holy ones, to execute judgment upon all, and to convict all the ungodly of all their ungodly deeds which they have done in an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him.’”  Again, these are the ungodly ones who “turn the grace of our God into licentiousness/sensuality.”  How can this verse apply to us today?  You will notice that the word “generation” is in italics.  That means it is not really there.  So this actually reads:  “Enoch, in the seventh from Adam, prophesied … .”  This is where we are today—in the seventh Millennium from Adam!  And today most churches turn the grace of God into licentiousness/sensuality! 

 

Why are women standing in the pulpits as pastors or at lecterns teaching when the Scriptures clearly state that this is forbidden (1 Timothy 2:12-15, 1 Corinthians 14:34)?  Why are women dressing immodestly and putting lying colors on their faces and on their hair, becoming friends with the world and thus enemies of God (James 4:4)?  Why aren’t women covering their heads when 1 Corinthians 11:10 clearly and specifically says that “the woman is obligated to have authority on her head, because of the angels.”  Why are women repeating their fall in the Garden of Eden and seeking the place of the man, even dressing like and cutting their hair like a man, and like the fallen angels they are abandoning their own domain and do not keep their proper abode (Jude 1:6)?  Contrary to God’s design, women follow in the curse in the Garden, desiring instead the place of the man (Genesis 3:16).  Why is divorce repeatedly practiced in the churches when the Head of the church, Yahshua, specifically and directly said that the only justification for it is adultery (Matthew 5:31-32)?  Why do believers speak worldly and ungodly things from their mouths when Yahshua specifically warned:  “But I tell you that every careless word that people speak, they shall give an accounting for it in the day of judgment.  For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned” (Matthew 12:36).  And this list of ungodly deeds goes on with ungodly flesh-driven music and porn and lusts of the flesh and all manner of fornication with the world!

 

The church today in this Laodicean period is greatly corrupted:  “Because you say, ‘I am rich, and have become wealthy, and have need of nothing, and you do not know that you are wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked” (Revelation 3:17).  The church has become like the world, committing harlotry with the world, and like the Israelites is worthy of being divorced—"And I saw that for all the adulteries of faithless Israel, I had sent her away and given her a writ of divorce …” (Jeremiah 3:8).  The church is Mystery Babylon who commits harlotry with the nations (Revelation 17).  As the church has sown with their godless divorces and worldly practices, so it would reap today just as Paul, the founder of Christianity, foretold:  “And just as Isaiah foretold, ‘Unless the Lord of Sabaoth had left to us a posterity, we would have become like Sodom, and would have resembled Gomorrah’" (Romans 9:29)!  Just like there is a tithe, and also a tithe of the tithe, this posterity today, this “remnant” (verse 27), is the obedient Bride that comes out of the sleeping Body of Christ and makes herself ready.  It is the way of Yahweh.

 

Today, it is the same as in the time when Yahshua walked upon this earth and spoke forth many woes, all of which were heralded in first Remnant Matthew and second Remnant Luke, two of which in Luke are:  “Woe to you when all men speak well of you, for their fathers used to treat the false prophets in the same way” (6:26).  “Woe to you!  For you are like concealed tombs, and the people who walk over them are unaware of it” (11:44).  And in these last days, many such woes will be heralded.  Preceding the coming of Immanuel will indeed be a time of much-needed repentance and purification, calling His Bride out of the Body—repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand!

 

But what I want to address here specifically is this prevalent and very deceptive attitude that “Christ’s blood covers all my sins.”  Does it really?  Is that what the Scriptures truly teach?  And if so, then is that not a license to sin?  What if people could have a card that they kept in their car and it covered every time they violated the traffic laws?  Would they then drive responsibly?  Of course not.  And would they then subject themselves to possible harm and even death?  Very much so.  Such it is with God’s laws.  And if we are intentionally lawless as a believer, we will be held accountable for our actions.  Let’s then examine God’s laws regarding intentionally sinning, even when we want to try to justify it. 

 

First, you will see that sin offerings were limited to sins committed unintentionally, otherwise you were blaspheming Yahweh.  And the outcome was dramatic!  In Leviticus 4:2-3 we read:

 

“If a person sins unintentionally in any of the things which Yahweh has commanded not to be done, and commits any of them, if the anointed priest sins so as to bring guilt on the people, then let him offer to Yahweh a bull without defect as a sin offering for the sin he has committed.”

 

And more extensively, in Numbers 15:29-31 we read:

 

“You shall have one law for him who does anything unintentionally, for him who is native among the sons of Israel and for the alien who sojourns among them.  But the person who does anything defiantly, whether he is native or an alien, that one is blaspheming Yahweh; and that person shall be cut off from among his people.  Because he has despised the word of Yahweh and has broken His commandment, that person shall be completely cut off; his guilt will be on him.”

 

And these are just two of many references to this fact that the offerings were for sins committed unintentionally.  And someone might naively object that this is simply Old Testament Law.  But the fact is, that Law was the foundation for that which was to come—and more specifically included Yahshua’s sacrifice and the legal forgiveness of sins.  Keep in mind, the foundation of forgiveness is the Law.  And as we see clearly set forth in the Law, sacrifices were specifically for sins committed unintentionally.

 

For example, we just read that we will be held accountable for every careless or idle word.  Well likewise, in Galatians 6:7-8 we read:  Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap.   For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.”  And Colossians 3:25 supports the same:  “For he who does wrong will receive the consequences of the wrong which he has done, and that without partiality.” 

 

And there are many other like passages.  Hebrews 10:26-31 explicitly tells us, and even quotes the Law as I have done so here:

 

For if we sin willfully after we receive the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains the sacrifice for sins, but a terrifying expectation of judgment and zeal of fire to consume the adversaries.  Anyone who has set aside the Law of Moses dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses.  How much severer punishment do you think he will deserve who has trampled under foot the Son of God, and has regarded as unclean the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and has insulted the Spirit of grace?  For we know Him who said, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay.” And again, “The Lord will judge His people.”  It is a terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the living God! 

 

And in Hebrews 6:4-8 we read in a most graphic and thorough manner:

 

For in the case of those who have once been enlightened and have tasted of the heavenly gift and have been made partakers of the Holy Spirit, and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, and then have fallen away, it is impossible to renew them again to repentance, since they again crucify to themselves the Son of God and put Him to open shame.  For ground that drinks the rain which often falls on it and brings forth vegetation useful to those for whose sake it is also tilled, receives a blessing from God; but if it yields thorns and thistles, it is worthless and close to being cursed, and whose end is to burning.

 

And if this was not already enough evidence and even warning, in 2 Peter 2:20-22 we read in like graphic text:

 

For if, after they have escaped the defilements of the world by the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and are overcome, the last state has become worse for them than the first.  For it would be better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than having known it, to turn away from the holy commandment handed on to them.  It has happened to them according to the true proverb, “A dog returns to its own vomit,” and, “A sow, after washing, returns to wallowing in the mire.”

 

It is quite fitting here to reference a sow, for that is what Christianity is—two thousand swine which all go down into the sea of death via Legion Satan afflicting them.  The dogs represent the nations.

 

So, why do people think they can sin with no consequences; and, what is the root source of this?  Here is what it all comes down to:  They do not want to be held accountable for their actions.  They want to do what they want to do and no one tell them otherwise.  In effect, they want to be their own god.  They want to satisfy their own lusts and desires, and are not willing to have any restraints placed upon them—either by God or man.  This nature of man is the root of all manner of evils and is, of course, rebellion.  And it permeates across the entirety of society and the church. 

 

But from birth we prove that restraints upon us are good and profitable—be they either applied by our own will, or by the will of external authority.  Can this be abused?  Of course it can.  But that only evidences the need for just godly authority.  And regarding this need for restraints, when Immanuel comes He will rule the nations with a rod of iron!  And frankly, if any one of you thinks you can get away with willfully doing wrong, “be not deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap”  (Galatians 6:7).  God is full of mercy, but He is likewise just and righteous.  And if we love Him, we will obey Him and keep His commandments, for they are written on our hearts.  If you love Him, you will only want to do His will and give Him pleasure.  But if you choose to do your own will, you do not truly love Him or even know Him.

 

In this regard, 1 John 2:3-6 clearly and boldly states:

 

By this we know that we have come to know Him—if we keep His commandments.  The one who says, “I have come to know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him; but whoever keeps His word, in him the love of God has truly been perfected.  By this we know that we are in Him:  the one who says he abides in Him ought himself to walk in the same manner as He walked.

 

In like manner, in 1 John 3:3-10 we read these most powerful and penetrating statements:

 

And everyone who has this hope fixed on Him purifies himself, just as He is pure.  Everyone who practices sin also practices lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness.  You know that He appeared in order to take away sins; and in Him there is no sin.  No one who abides in Him sins; no one who sins has seen Him or knows Him.  Little children, make sure no one deceives you; the one who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous; the one who practices sin is of the devil; for the devil has sinned from the beginning.  The Son of God appeared for this purpose, to destroy the works of the devil.  No one who is born of God practices sin, because His seed abides in him; and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.  By this the children of God and the children of the devil are obvious:  anyone who does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor the one who does not love his brother.

 

That last statement is extremely strong and profound.  And in 1 John 5:18 we read this clear and straightforward statement:

 

We know that no one who is born of God sins [in other words, it is not our practice]; but He who was born of God keeps him, and the evil one does not touch him.

 

If our heart is to know God and to walk in His ways and to please Him in all things, then yes, we will not sin.  We seek to be circumspect and not displease the Father and to only do His will.  And if we do wrong, we quickly confess it and purpose to not repeat it.  What good is it if we do wrong, confess it, and then keep on doing it?  That does not increase grace, as it is written:  “Shall we sin so that grace may increase?  May it never be!  How can we who died to sin still live in it?” (Romans 6:1-2)  If we do wrong, then we must resist temptation and the practice.  We demonstrate our repentance by changing our practice.

 

And what is most troubling and an insult to the grace of God is this sickening false “grace” that people follow, and is shamefully and even dangerously taught and even practiced by pastors, priests, and teachers—affording a license to sin and not obeying the commandments of God.  Some very obvious examples of this are unlawful divorce, women teaching or being pastors, immodest and worldly dress, and corrupt worldly music with its strong emphasis on rhythm.  But to the contrary, and flying straight into the face of these false teachers and shepherds, it is sin against God.  For as we are clearly instructed, “the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men, instructing us to deny ungodliness and worldly desires and to live sensibly, righteously, and godly in the present age” (Titus 2:11-12).  Amen!

 

But to various degrees many pastors and priests are those repeatedly spoken of in Jeremiah and Ezekiel:  they are destructive regarding the kingdom of righteousness and teach many lies.  They feed the people dung—taking in the word of God, processing it with human flesh, and then speaking out of their posterior mouths.  We see these clear warnings regarding them:

 

“‘Woe to the shepherds who are destroying and scattering the sheep of My pasture!’ declares Yahweh.  Therefore thus says Yahweh God of Israel concerning the shepherds who are tending My people:  ‘You have scattered My flock and driven them away, and have not attended to them; behold, I am about to attend to you for the evil of your deeds,” declares Yahweh’“ (Jeremiah 23:1-2). 

 

“My people have become lost sheep; their shepherds have led them astray” (Jeremiah 50:6).

 

“Thus says the Lord Yahweh, ‘Behold, I am against the shepherds, and I will demand My sheep from them and make them cease from feeding sheep.  So the shepherds will not feed themselves anymore, but I will deliver My flock from their mouth, so that they will not be food for them’” (Ezekiel 34:10).  

 

And James 3:1 clearly warns that not many should become teachers, for they “will incur a stricter judgment.”

 

This does not necessarily mean that these pastors are of evil intent; but rather they are blind shepherds who lead the flock astray, even as Yahshua spoke of, and are more comfortable with the methods and ways of the world than with the ways of God.  In fact, I would say that few pastors or teachers even know the ways of God, and certainly none of them know what He is doing in and with His kingdom.

 

And in Zechariah 11:4 we read:  “Thus says Yahweh my God, ‘Pasture the flock doomed to slaughter.’“  Which flock?  Is it natural Judah as one might think here?  Not at all, but rather spiritual Judah—given that our priesthood is indeed in the tribe of Judah, as set forth in Hebrews 7:11-16.  Also, in clear evidence, verses 12-13 of Zechariah 4 have their fulfillment specifically in the church.  You will certainly be familiar with this event:  “So they weighed out thirty shekels of silver as my wages.  Then Yahweh said to me, ‘Throw it to the potter, that magnificent price at which I was valued by them.’  So I took the thirty shekels of silver and threw them to the potter in the house of Yahweh.”  Of course this is Judas.  And I ask you:  The office that Judas had, to whom did it then go?  It went to Satan—the staff turned into the serpent!  So is it not surprising that the verses that immediately follow this passage about Judas’s outcome continue on to address Satan?  And so they do—thus we read in verses 15-17:

 

Yahweh said to me, “Take again for yourself the equipment of a foolish shepherd.  For behold, I am going to raise up a shepherd in the land who will not care for the perishing, seek the scattered, heal the broken, or sustain the one standing, but will devour the flesh of the fat sheep and tear off their hoofs.  Woe to the worthless shepherd who leaves the flock!  A sword will be on his arm and on his right eye!  His arm will be totally withered and his right eye will be blind.”

 

Let me be frank.  The reason pastors, priests, and teachers teach the error and corruption that they do is because Satan is their head in so many matters—doctrine, end-times, morality, the kingdom of heaven, and so much more.  The fact is, Christians are as blind as the Jews were when it comes to understanding what God is doing and what is expected of us.  They readily conform to the world, and Satan is the god and ruler of this world, including them.  Do you want to see who is the head of Christianity?  Then look no further than Africa.  (Click here to read more.)

 

 

And which eye of Satan is it that we see here?  Of course the right eye, which will be pierced by the sword.  The worthless shepherd is Satan, who has devoured the flesh/bodies of Christians for two-thousand years, taking them all to the grave, even to the sea of death where Leviathan sports, even the two thousand swine that all went headlong into the sea of death!  And, he has torn off their split hooves, which is one of the two requirements in order to be clean.  He has torn off their kingdom rights and has ruled over them, corrupting the kingdom.  And, he has corrupted the pastors and teachers to the extent that the sheep have no idea what the Father is doing, and they destroy and scatter the sheep.

 

So will God utterly destroy these shepherds?  No.  They will be judged with a judgment that is more severe than that applied to the sheep.  They have a culpability that is greater than that of the people, thus the James 3:1 warning to teachers; but the greatest judgment will be on the one who has been the head of the church for the last two thousand years—Satan.  Let me ask you:  When Darius conquered Babylon by entering into the city by going under the wall, how many did he then kill?  Both Isaiah and Jeremiah prophesied of the utter and complete destruction of that city and the inhabitants by these selfsame Medes.  We know that this literal Babylon was a type of Mystery Babylon, the church.  So what will the Father then do to the church that we have known for two thousand years?  Will He utterly destroy it?  No!  He will do to it just what He did to the type—natural Babylon.  So what do we see? 

 

In natural Babylon, the Medes came under the wall and killed only one person—the head, Belshazzar!  Prophetically, who is Belshazzar, king of Babylon?  None other than Satan—the king of Mystery Babylon, the head of the church for two thousand years.  In truth, Satan will pay the price for the sins of the church for the last two thousand years, so that they do not have to “die,” be eradicated/destroyed as it is prophesied.  He is the Belshazzar, even as he is the scapegoat of Leviticus 16:8-22. 

 

There we find that there were two goats that were offered as sacrifices:  “one lot [was cast] for Yahweh and the other lot for the scapegoat.”  The lot that was cast for Yahweh and had to die was a “sin offering.”  This was fulfilled by Yahshua.  He was the first goat.  And the word translated “scapegoat” for the second goat literally means “goat of removal.”  In this fulfillment, like Belshazzar, Satan is indeed the goat of removal—he is removed from his office!  In Revelation 20:1-3, we see that Satan is thrown into the abyss and it is sealed for a thousand years!  He pays a price for man as the “goat of removal.”  He is the male goat in Daniel 8:5-8 that had a “conspicuous horn between his eyes” and “magnified himself exceedingly” (as do many pastors, priests, and teachers), and that horn was broken off!  And this is the single horn you see on the image of Satan in Africa.  Satan is the goat of removal, who becomes a “sacrifice,” paying the price for Christianity so that it does not “die.”  Belshazzar and the goat of removal are one and the same—Satan becomes a “savior,” a sacrifice, for Christians at the end of two thousand years.  What then is to be said concerning pastors, priests, and teachers incurring a greater judgment?  Do they equally pay a price for their corruption of the people?  Indeed!  It is like what Yahshua said to Pilot:  “he who delivered Me to you has the greater sin" (John 19:11).  Pastors, priests, and teachers have the greater accountability for corrupting the people.

 

And also on the positive side, after the Medes eliminated Satan Belshazzar, they set up 120 governors.  Today, 12 apostles will be set up when Satan loses his authority.  And as it is written in Jeremiah 3:15, so it will be fulfilled:  “Then I will give you shepherds after My own heart, who will feed you on knowledge and understanding.”  Blessed be the name of Yahweh for evermore!  I do believe this is what you are receiving right now.

 

Seeing and understanding this and as attested by the title of this writing, one of the greatest enemies of the church and its followers is this false and deceptive and wholly destructive doctrine of a “grace,” where they “turn the grace of our God into licentiousness/sensuality and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.”  Oh, they will not verbally deny Him; but, they do deny Him by their aberrant actions.  And they can be glad that Satan pays a price for the church.  Otherwise, they would all be completely cut off and die after another one thousand years.  Like Balaam, Christians have no idea as to what their fate truly is if Yahweh did not cut time short, call out a Bride, catch them up to heaven, transform them into heavenly bodies, and return with them to rule and reign for a thousand years.  Thank God for untying the donkey!

 

Let us close this section with a realistic assessment of the church, more specifically Christianity.  In fact, this is the reason why this writing even began.  I despise the compromising and worldly and fleshly practices of the churches today.  The harlotry with the world and the demonstration of the flesh is outrageous!  They do not know God, or they would not operate and behave the way they do.  I was talking with a pastor once about the ways of God, and he admitted that he did not know His ways.  Well, I guess that is to be expected, for we read Yahweh’s own assessment of man:  For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways,’ declares Yahweh.  ‘For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts’” (Isaiah 55:8-9).  And afterwards, it was discovered that that pastor had sexual relations with a woman in his church.

 

Who can count the number of sexual affairs that have occurred in the churches, going all the way back to the account where Paul turned a man over to Satan for the destruction of his flesh for having his father’s wife (1 Corinthians 5:1-5).  The church is corrupt, in many ways!

 

Just recently, the FBI files regarding John F. Kennedy were opened, and one of the findings was in regard to Martin Luther King Jr.  He was a pastor, as well as others around him.  But we find in that report:  “Throughout the ensuing years and until this date, King has continued to carry on his sexual aberrations secretly while holding himself out to public view as a moral leader of religious conviction.”  The report alleged that he had multiple extramarital affairs with women, something that is confirmed by others as well, and was suspected of having fathered a daughter through another woman.  And he is a pastor?  But this kind of sin goes on all the time in the church. 

 

I’m going to say something that many people are not going to like to hear, but it is open and frank truth and reality.  Martin Luther King was assassinated on March 9, 1968, at the age of 39.  His life was cut short.  Frankly, that was the mercy of God towards him.  He was a pastor and teacher, and as we are instructed they will incur a stricter judgment.  The more he sinned, all the more would it have compounded his judgment!  It doesn’t matter what you think of him as a civil rights leader, he will be judged for his immorality and causing others to sin as well.  And the reality is, it was God’s mercy that his life was cut short, for all the more his sins would have piled up and his judgment would have increased!  I can tell you, there are many pastors and teachers today of whom I could say that I would rather be a street person, sleeping on cardboard, than to be them on their day of judgment.  God forbid!  These pastors and teachers need to fear God right now!

 

But what is equally bothersome is that Christians sin and wink at it as though they too will receive no consequences.  I had one woman to tell me that she was going to divorce her husband, and that God would just have to forgive her.  Really?  We are warned that if we sin willfully, “there no longer remains the sacrifice for sins, but a terrifying expectation of judgment and zeal of fire to consume the adversaries” (Hebrews 10:26).  People deceive themselves and do not live their lives for the long haul, but just for the moment.  They do not live their lives to the glory of the Father, but are short-sighted.  They do not truly love God but love and serve the flesh, living life for the moment, and for what pleases their selfish desires.  Again, they are shortsighted.  And they sin, thinking that God is going to forgive them and there are no consequences.  But they deceive themselves. 

 

May Yahshua cut time short, pour out His Spirit, establish the Elijah, and purify His people for His coming—the Bride making herself ready!  Let us seek to walk as He walked, otherwise we are not worthy to be His bride.  Abraham believed and obeyed, and found favor with God.  And if we are to be sons of Abraham, then we are to do likewise.
