As some of my friends can tell I am transforming my website. There are some transformations taken place in my life that I would like to tell you about. You see for about 13 years I have been searching for truth and began reading the Holy Bible. My general belief is Salvation is not of works least any man shall boast but is a free gift of God given because of our faith in the substitional atoning work of Yeshua Jesus on the cross for our sins. However once we are converted and God had shed his Agape love in our hearts, because we love God we shall obey his commandments, all of them with the best of our ability with the guiding of the Holy Spirit. From my reading I soon realized that the Catholic Church faith was really different from what I was reading in the Bible. I soon left the Catholic Church and went for a treck through the winds of doctrine. I began studying the Baptist Church Doctrines, the Reformed Baptists Church, the Jehovah Witnesses, Seventh Day Adventists, Evangelical, Mormon (Church of Jesus Christ Latter Day Saints), Lutheran, Pentacostal, Episcopalian, Non-denominational, and practically every known Christian organization I could find or come up with. I then studied the doctrines of the Church of God 7th Day, Then the doctrines of of Peter Salemi of British Israel Church of God, or Levitical Church of God. Eventually I began reading the doctrines of Herbert W Armstrong who founded the Worldwide Church of God. His Doctrine became known as Armstronism. I will list all the Armstrongism splinter groups below to avoid sentence run-on and get to my point. With all these doctrines I have studied from uncountable church denominations I would find errors somehow that did not line up with the Bible. Like Grace alone is surely erroroneous as James tells us faith without works is dead. I know some people disagree here. I have been thoroughly on the side of the Grace Alone Camp and thoroughly on the Works Alone Camp. The truth is true Grace and true works is unseparatable. If we truely have Gods Agape love in our hearts after recieving unmerited favor we will do the things that is pleasing to God because we love God. I intend to teach the whole council of God. Yeshua says 'those who say they love me but do not the the things I say, is a liar and the truth is not in them' or 'If you love me you will keep my commandments' or "With their lips they worship me but their hearts are far from me. By their traditions they make the Law of God of non-effect." Yeshua Jesus we must remember is the Logos, the Word of God, the very Voice who delivered the commandments. So do we have authority to chop this commandment and that commandment? Sin is the transgression of the Law, not one tittle removed until all has been fullfilled. Paul when considering staying in sin said shall we remain in sin and put the Lord on the cross over and over again to put the Lord to open shame, or shall we remain in sin so Grace may abound? Pauls answer is "God Forbid." We are acountable for the whole Law, including God's appointed feasts. Other errors included Gospel of Works primarily alone. There were even errors in the nature of God, The Deity of Christ or the personship of the Holy Spirit, gifts of the Spirit, what talking in tongues is, etc. The list of errors go on and on. I know Christ said that he did not come to destroy the Law and that not one tittle would be removed until all has been fullfilled. I see no commandment of God to change the Sabbath. Some say that the Sabbath is just for the Jews. Remarkably Yeshua Jesus says, "I even I am Lord of the Sabbath' and "The Sabbath was made for MAN." Notice that Yeshua Jesus said the Sabbath was for Man not Jews only. If the Law was not destroyed and not one tittle removed, seems vast majority of Christiandom is committing sin by polluting the Sabbath day on a weekly basis. I do not see in the Bible a decree of God for believers to celebrate Jesus Christs birthday, observe Christmas, Easter, Good Friday, Holloween, Valentines, or Lent. Rather I see paganism subtly injected into the faith through the above mentioned observances. Christ said he would be in the heart of the earth 3 days and three nights. Friday to Sunday is not that time allotted. Infact I have read biblical evidence that Christ died on a Wednesday and resurrected late Sabbath day not Sunday Morning. I see around me amoungst the Gentile Churches a resistance to contend for the faith that was delivered to the Saints. They would just refer to scriptures that declared the old had been abolished, Grace alone based on Ephesians 2 but refusing to acknowledge the footer that mentions the ordained works that God wants us to walk in. Hmmmm The New Testament Church for 300 years were still observing the feasts of God that the majority of Christiandom consider Jewish. Weird. Bible says to prove all things. Can we prove that the Faith delivered to the Saints can evolve and be changed. One amazing fact is after Christs resurrection He had taught the Apostles all things concerning the Kingdom yet the Apostles still kept the "Jewish Feasts." Now one wonderous discovery is that if we prove all things can we prove that Christ came to establish a new religion or approve of the changes to the Faith he personally delivered to the Saints? Jude explicitly says to earnestly contend for the "Faith that was delivered to the Saints" which the vast majority of Christiandom chooses to ignore. The vast majority have been had? Jesus was a Jew and he did not come to deliver a new religion or destroy the Law. All the Apostles were Jews, the first century church by practice were Jewish who had belief in Jesus Yeshua as Messiah. They simply were not Christian and were observing the Law. The whole world has had the wool pulled over their eyes. The true church is Jewish. The Gentile side of the faith has become corrupt because they mix paganism with the faith. They do not contend for the Faith that Yeshua delivered to the Saints. After studying and searching I declare that all are wrong is one way or another. Considering the Whole Council of God, the only faith to practice the Faith delivered to the Saints, and all that I have seen, is the Messianic Judaism movement also called the Nazarene Judaism Movement. You can find out more about the movement by visiting the International Alliance of Messianic Congregations and Synagogues, or the Messianic Jewish website.
