“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.
