Sabbath Blasting! Shadow or the Savior?

Keeping a certain day is not a sin. Not keeping a day is also not a sin. Keeping a day, such as Saturday, and somehow believing that is essential to salvation, is a sin. Condemning others for not keeping the day you keep reveals that such a person is in need of repenting and putting their faith in Christ. It’s time to read Romans 14 concerning NON-essentials and get a real New Testament, saved-by-grace life!

The SDA (Seventh day Adventist) church is an antichrist cult that worships a day instead of the Savior who bled so we could worship Him every day!!!

Self-righteous dupes get all proud because they rest on Saturn-day, never stopping to realize that it wasn’t the day they rested that mattered but rather the fact that they rested a day. Let’s wake up folks. Resting a day weekly is not an essential to salvation – much less the day one chooses to rest. JESUS IS OUR SALVATION – not a mere day He made. Get a clue.

Jesus said “If ye love me keep MY commandments” (John 14:15), but Jesus never told anyone to keep the 7th day and so that’s not one of His commandments, requirements for His saved-by-grace NEW Testament saints. Did He somehow forget to tell us something He wanted us to know? No. Keep the 2 commandments upon which the whole law hands, yes. Yet that’s only if you know and love Him AND He never commanded any NEW Testament believer to keep any certain day, nor did His apostles. So repent and stop trying to Judaize others – you are seducing them to go back under the law and fall from saving grace (Galatians 5:4). In fact, Christ’s apostle Paul was severely concerned that the Galatians saints were making days too important.

“But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage? 10 Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years. 11 I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain.” Galatians 4:9-11

Their heart affections and attention were moved off of Jesus Christ onto “days, and months, and times, and years.” This is trickery and it’s all the work of the spirit of antichrist to hinder God’s people from upholding Jesus, the “Head” of His body. See “not holding the Head” in Colossians 2:18-19.

Anyone who goes back under the law after being saved, has fallen from saving grace (Galatians 5:4). The book of Galatians could not be a more severe warning. Paul says he wishes these diabolical Judaizers were “cut off” (Galatians 5:12).

ANY person teaching that NEW Testament believers, saved by grace, are required to keep any certain day, is a Judaizing wolf with no exception. This is “another gospel” which makes them “accursed” (Galatians 1:6-9). There is no hint or instruction in the 27-book NEW Testament canon for New Testament saints to keep any certain day. Therefore any person pushing a day, is a devil. Repent. RUN!

Beware of the Hebrew Roots and SDA (Seventh Day Adventist) saturn-day idolatry propaganda.

Counterfeit Judaizers are all about observing a day while those who know the LORD are all about Him who is the New Testament Sabbath in whom we rest from law keeping.

Jesus kept the sabbath of the Old Testament and every single commandment of the OLD Covenant…. in order to fulfill (expire) it when He died on the cross and “took it out of the away” (Colossians 2:14-19). Christ is now the Sabbath rest of the NEW Testament saints who are saved by His grace. Nothing wrong with observing a day of rest and special worship, it’s actually wise to do so… yet making this something that New Testament believers must do to be right with God is not biblical.

The earliest believers met on the first day of the week. Why give the Roman cult this glory?

“And upon THE FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight.” Acts 20:7

“Upon THE FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come.” 1 Corinthians 16:2

The ultimate Jew of all Jews, the Jewish Messiah has already come and fulfilled every single prophecy that was foretold, ordained to be fulfilled to this point, the most important being that He bled on that cross as “the Lamb of God” to take away the sins of the world (John 1:29). His sacrifice was perfect and “once” (John 19:30; Hebrews 9:12). This included nailing the Old Testament law to the cross. Keep reading.

As a born again, saved-by-grace NEW Testament disciple of Jesus, I am not interested in any foolish focus on obsolete feasts which were only a means of depicting the ONE (the Messiah) who was yet to come. If you are still focusing on the mere shadow given to the Jews under the OLD testament, you are living under the old and obsolete covenant which was far inferior to the NEW Testament which Jesus accomplished and which is a far superior and a much “BETTER covenant” and made the old covenant obsolete (Hebrews 8:6). To put too much emphasis on that which only served to be a guide to understand and know the Messiah when He came, is antichrist. This is an open denial of Christ – it’s antichrist because it denies that He already came in the flesh (1 John 4:1-3). Now that He HAS already come in the flesh and fulfilled the prophetic pictures and Word about Him, I would be denying Him to go back to mere shadows which only served to point the Jewish people to Him BEFORE He actually came “in the fullness of time” (Galatians 4:4).

The Messiah has already come to the earth!

ALL who don’t keep Jesus as SABBATH are not saved – that is, all who are not resting in HIS perfect finished work are doomed. And, those who focus on, over emphasize a mere day prove clearly that they do not know, are not known of Christ – not born again and not in Christ’s kingdom.

Is it time we get a clue?

JESUS has come and put an “END” to the OLD Testament law for righteousness.

“For Christ is THE END of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.” Romans 10:4

Keeping the old law is not the aim of the believer in CHRIST – but rather following Christ by His saving grace and faith is (Ephesians 2:8-9). Nothing could be clearer in the NEW Testament Scriptures. The old law was infinitely inferior and only showed us just how sinful we are (Romans 7). It granted no ability to fulfill it which is evidenced in the biblical fact that “ALL have sinned” and ALL are “guilty before God” (Romans 3:10, 19, 23; 11:32, etc.). So, when the fulness of time was come, God sent forth His Son to replace the old inferior law (Galatians 4:4). John 1:17 says that the old law came by Moses ( a mere sinful man) but grace and truth came by the only begotten Son of God, Jesus Christ. Did God so love the world that He gave the law of His only begotten Son? No (John 3:16). You have to choose to believe that Christ fulfilled the law and nailed it to the cross and took it OUT OF THE WAY, OR call God a liar and to brazenly and openly deny Christ who said “It IS finished” or “paid in full” (John 19:30). If we still need to try to keep the law to be righteous then Jesus Christ is a liar – and that’s exactly what you are guilty of calling the Son of God if you still think you are made righteous through keeping any part of the old law. You have openly denied Christ and are an antichrist. – “Christ is THE END of the law for righteousness to everyone that BELIEVETH” (Romans 10:4). The justified believer has said “10:4 good buddy” to the law and trusts only in Christ’s imputed righteousness (Romans 4). Otherwise you are a lost, hell bound soul who has openly rejected the only ONE who can save you. Those who are still, in any way, trying to keep ANY part of the law, vainly believing that makes them any more righteous and justified than Christ’s finished, perfect work, are antichrists. You have told the Almighty that His only begotten Son Jesus Christ is a fraud and you don’t need Him but rather you reject Him for your own righteousness which is by the law which you have never kept (Philippians 3:9-10).

What does the Bible tell us that Jesus Christ did when He died on that cross for the sins of all men?

“Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; 15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it. 16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: 17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ. 18 Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, 19 And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God.” Colossians 2:14-19

THERE is no requirement to keep any certain day under the NEW Testament. Jesus says those who know Him serve Him “daily” not weekly (Luke 9:23-24; Acts 2:47). See also Colossians 2:14-19; Galatians 4:9-11.

Paul feared for New Testament believers who counted days important: “But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage? 10 Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years. 11 I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain” (Galatians 4:9-11).

Paul was afraid for the eternal souls of those who went back under law, putting emphasis on days, months, years (Galatians 4:9-11).

ANY group that insists on a certain day for a sabbath, as if your salvation depends on it, is a vile Judaizing cult! Run. They are devils! Filthy 7th Day Idolaters Rebuked!

Jesus kept the whole law including the sabbath in order to nail it to the cross and do away with it. The Bible says He “took it out of the way.”

Here in this glorious passage, the Word of God is instructing you who are “complete in him” (Colossians 2:10) to not allow any foul, law-keep religious devil to condemn you for not keeping an inferior, obsolete law that is done away with and nailed to the cross.

Satan works feverishly to draw attention away from his archenemy, the Head of His true body, Jesus Christ. Jesus satisfied the claims of the Father justice, the only One to ever fulfill the law, and nailed it to the cross, taking it “away” forever! Satan uses his “ministers” to try to bring people under law and simultaneously move their affections off of Christ and onto their own good works (2 Corinthians 11:12-15). To those who are Christ’s, the enemy of souls seeks to remove our affection from the One who bled to save us so that we don’t uphold in pure worship “the Head” as first and foremost, supreme in our hearts (Colossians 2:18-19).

Upholding the Savior not a Sabbath!

Keeping the LORD’s commandments doesn’t include law keeping or sabbath keeping. ANY person who teaches this heresy is an antichrist who has openly denied Christ’s perfect sacrifice was sufficient to completely justify His saints. Only heretical Judaizers teach that NEW Testament believers, saved by GRACE, are still under the law (Romans 3:28; 10:4; Galatians 2:16). Judaizing Devils Busted!

Law keeping is made to sound superior but it’s pure false humility and damnable unbelief.

Those who love Him obey what He said. So, WHERE O WHERE O WHERE did Jesus or any of His apostles EVER – even one time – instruct EVEN ONE NEW Testament believer to keep ANY certain day? WHY was no sabbath mentioned in Acts 15 at the first council of the apostles when they determined what God said is “NECESSARY” (Acts 15:28) – Essential to salvation? Did the LORD forget to tell us something we needed to know? Did He mess up? Or, is keeping a certain day not important to Him? Jesus’ true sheep follow HIM – He who paid the full debt for their sins on that cross when He nailed the law to it! BUT HE never told them to keep any certain day, so such has nothing at all to do with someone’s spiritual state before the LORD. “Stand fast in the liberty ….” (Galatians 5:1). Glory to God He made us free from the old law and now we walk in newness of life, in “the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus” (Romans 8:2-4)! It’s all about Jesus friends – not just one of the days of the week of which He makes all of them!

Sinful Sabbath Sacrilege

Reducing “worship” to a certain day instead of openly worshiping Jesus Christ “daily” as He instructed, is the work of Satan.

Faith in the One who is now our Sabbath is what pleases God and not any certain of the 7 days He created. Hebrews 4.

SABBATH WORSHIPING DEVILS EXPOSED

There is no instruction or even hint in all of the 27 books of the New Testament Scriptures to observe any certain day. In fact, we are warned about making days important instead of the One who made/makes EVERY day (Galatians 4:9-11; Colossians 2:14-19).

Did Saturn-day die for your sins? Did Saturn-day walk on the water, open blinded eyes, raise the dead, etc.? Who did that for you? Who do you truly worship? Observing days means nothing to God ….. worshiping Him who made all days everyday is what matters to Him.

WHY was Paul “afraid” for the Galatians?

“But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage? 10 Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years. 11 I AM AFRAID OF YOU, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain.” Galatians 4:9-11

It is clear by the above passage that putting emphasis on a non-essential endangers the eternal soul because in doing so, one takes his affection from Christ the Creator and places it on His creation.

“Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.” Romans 1:25

“The spirit of antichrist” is behind this false sabbath-idolatry teaching of making an idol out of a mere day. Anti means in place of… Anti-Christ means “in place of Christ” (1 John 4:1-6).

New Testament Christianity is all about putting and laboring to keep Jesus Christ as our “first love” (Revelation 2:4-5). Reducing our responsibility down to observing a certain day is a blasphemous attempt of “evil workers” of Satan to rob the glory from Jesus Christ who bled to purchase us back to God. We are told to beware of these “dogs … evil workers … the concision.”

“Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision. For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.” Philippians 3:2-3

Why do people insist upon making important what the LORD didn’t make important for His New Testament saints? Reminds me of Matthew 23:23-24.

If keeping any certain day is important to the LORD under the New Covenant, why did He not tell us so? Did the all-knowing, Almighty God forget to tell us something we needed to know? Is not keeping the sabbath named in any of the many lists of sins in the New Testament Scriptures? No.

The keeping of a certain day, circumcision, or reenacting Jewish festivals that merely foreshadowed Him who has now come for all people, has no value if it doesn’t glorify the One who came and fulfilled what those shadows merely pointed to. The shadow is not the problem, but the over emphasis of it sure is. A shadow is like sleeping with a picture of your wife instead of her. In other words, let’s say your wife goes on a long trip and while she’s away you sleep with her picture to feel close to her since you miss her. Then, when she returns, you tell her to sleep in another room because the picture of her will do. Selah friends. Rejecting the very Messiah whom those shadows only served to point to BEFORE He came, is induced and perpetrated by “the spirit of antichrist” which denies that Jesus Christ has already come in the flesh (1 John 4:1-3).

“Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. 2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: 3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.” 1 John 4:1-3

Paul repeatedly showed us that Satan uses evil Judaizing wolves to draw Christians back under law which means they no longer have saving grace and are lost (Galatians 5:4; Philippians 3:3; Colossians 2:6-19).

There is no value in any feast other than that those Jewish feasts served to point to the coming Messiah who has already come. So, what if we try to hug a mere shadow? What substance is there? None, right? Right. But, what if we embrace Jesus Christ, the Messiah who came, died, was buried, and rose again?

For the Jews (not NT Christians), those things were instituted and were mere “shadows” pointing to Christ Himself before He came, but now He has ALREADY COME. He completed His work perfectly and put away the law for righteousness and replaced that Old Covenant with His New Covenant which is based upon better promises (Hebrew 7-10; Colossians 2:14-17; Galatians 4:1-10). This is a basic truth of NT Christianity and if the saint doesn’t get this in their heart, he can be vulnerable to be deceived by Judaizers as we are so often specifically warned.

The New Testament way to keep the sabbath is to rest fully in the Sabbath Himself – Jesus Christ – everyday and not just one day per week (Hebrews 4). Resting in Christ is our Sabbath. Resting in the Messiah who has come means that we cease attempting to be righteous by law keeping, participating in OT festivals and ceremonies, being good enough in ourselves, or anything outside of Jesus. Keeping the law or keeping a certain day has nothing to do with New Testament Christianity. There is not one hint, instruction, or command in the 27 books of the NT Scriptures to keep any day. There is no virtue in such (Romans 14:5).

One disciple notes:

“The rest of the believer is attained by faith. The true rest is in Jesus. He is our Sabbath rest. Hebrews 4:9-11 says: ‘There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. 10 For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. 11 Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.’”

Of the true Sabbath, Matthew Ong writes:

“The true and real Sabbath is hinted at in Hebrews 4.—’We which have believed do enter into rest….. He that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.’ This is the true and real Sabbath, of which the old Sabbath was a type. It includes all the days from your conversion to death’s day. To work for salvation is to break the Sabbath, the real Sabbath. We rest in all this Sabbath. Moses directed them to stone one who had so much as gathered a few sticks on this day; to show that we must not rest in our own works, but our duty is to rest, REST, REST in Christ all our days and in death.<<< TOTALLY Amen!”

Keeping the commandments of God does not include keeping any certain day because He never made that important under His NEW Covenant. Worshiping God is about a Person – not a time and place (John 4:20-24). Our worship is in the Spirit, namely in loving, obeying, and communing with the Father and Jesus Christ – “truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ” (1 John 1:3).

Those who do play the part of a pharisee who makes important that which God didn’t and in doing so, makes unimportant that which is essential – “the weightier matters of the law” (Matthew 23:23-24).

Where is the instruction in all the New Testament Scriptures telling New Testament saints to worship on any certain day? Without such, you are creating heresy which means you are unnecessarily sowing discord among God’s people by over emphasizing something He did not make an essential under the New Covenant.

There are a whopping 17 sins listed in the most complete list of sins in all the New Testament Scriptures (Galatians 5:19-21). Yet, in this list, there is no mention of any sin identified as not keeping a certain day.

Did the Almighty forget to tell us something? Dare we call Him a lunatic?

Luke 4:15-21

Why did God put into place a NEW Covenant that replaced the Old Covenant He had with Israel? Is God a fool, or was there a purpose? Are there different and unique laws governing that New Covenant? Yes. Where are they located and learned? – In the New Testament Scriptures.

Under the New Covenant, there is no instruction to keep any certain day and so, obeying God does not include resting on any certain day but rather resting every day by faith in Christ, our Sabbath (Hebrews 4).

— If Christ kept the sabbath it was to fulfill all righteousness and then nail the Old Covenant law and ordinances to the cross and take them out of the way so we now rest in Him who is the only One to “fulfill” (means expire) the law (Matthew 5:17; Colossians 2:14-17).

You must read this passage once again with spiritual eyes wide open:

“Blotting out (obliterating) the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; 15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it. 16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: 17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ. 18 Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, 19 And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God.” Colossians 2:14-19

In their feigned worship, virtue from Heaven is absent due to their open denial of Christ in the false humility of worshiping a day instead of the One who gives us EVERY day.

The passage continues …

“Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances, 21 (Touch not; taste not; handle not; 22 Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men? 23 Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body; not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh. If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. 2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. 3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. 4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.” Colossians 2:20-23; 3:1-4

The keeping of a certain day for the Jewish people (not New Testament Christians) was a mere “shadow” pointing to Christ Himself who is NOW ALREADY COME. He completed His work perfectly and put away the law for righteousness and replaced that Old Covenant with His New Covenant which is based upon better promises (Hebrew 7-10; Colossians 2:14-17; Galatians 4:1-10).

This is a basic truth of New Testament Christianity and if the saint doesn’t get this in their heart, they can be vulnerable to be deceived as we are so often specifically warned.

ONLY an evil, antichrist would reject Christ, the nail-scarred, risen Messiah, for law keeping. Hell awaits! If you don’t keep all 613 Old Testament laws, you are doomed. “For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all” (James 2:10).

“Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.” Romans 3:28

No longer saved – “Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace” (Galatians 5:4).

“THE END” – It’s over! – “For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth” (Romans 10:4).

Trusting law for salvation is an open, brazen rejection and denial of Christ and His finished work – “I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain” (Galatians 2:21).

The law-keeping heretic is the vilest kind of self-righteous, hell-bound brazen rebel against the LORD Who came and did what no man ever did do – keep the whole law. Yet, He didn’t keep the law so we could try to keep it, NO, He kept it so He could nail it to the cross and do away with it and take it OUT of the way for ever (Colossians 2:14-19).

Keeping any certain day is never – not once – mentioned in the New Testament and those who tout such are doing so to foster self-righteousness as they vainly imagine that they are more spiritual – “holier than thou” than those who don’t keep the day they keep. Paul warns against this (Colossians 2:14-17).

“Which say, Stand by thyself, come not near to me; for I am holier than thou. These are a smoke in my nose, a fire that burneth all the day.” Isaiah 65:5

Jesus was the only man to ever perfectly keep the law. He did this then died on the cross to do away completely with the law as the means for righteousness, “Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and TOOK IT OUT OF THE WAY (gone forever), NAILING IT TO THE CROSS;” Colossians 2:14 Matthew 5:17 – Greek word for “fulfilled” means EXPIRED – which means to DO AWAY WITH!

Jesus had to fulfill/expire the law then die to redeem us from it. He told us NO where to go to church on a certain day (Sabbath keeping/law-keeping). In fact, the Bible warns about making that important (Colossians 2:14-18; Galatians 4:9-10).

Sabbath keeping (Saturday) is NOT necessary for salvation so if you are teaching that it is essential for salvation you are in error, need to repent and get saved!

The keeping of a certain day for the Jewish people (not NT Christians) was a mere “shadow” pointing to Christ who is NOW ALREADY COME. He completed His work perfectly and put away the law for righteousness and replaced that Old Covenant with His New Covenant which is based upon better promises (Hebrews 7-10; Colossians 2:14-17; Galatians 4:1-10).

Did a day die for your sins? Was Saturday buried after bleeding on the cross for the sins of the world? Was a supposed sabbath sacrificed for our sins and raised from the dead to justify us? OR, was the Son of God?

JESUS BROKE THE SABBATH

John 9:16 Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man is not of God, BECAUSE he keepeth not the sabbath day. Others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a division among them.

John 5:18 Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.

Jesus IS the Sabbath rest of all who know Him BY FAITH, not by law-observance! God justifies on the basis of faith and not keeping the law. Jesus perfectly satisfied every jot and tittle of the law having perfectly fulfilled it all and thereby nailed it to the cross – doing away with it forever “to everyone that believeth” (Romans 10:4).

True believers worship the One who made EVERY day and not a day. That is the idolatry of worshiping the creation instead of the Creator.

GOD ACCEPTS PEOPLE ON THE BASIS ON FAITH IN CHRIST WHO PERFECTLY ACCOMPLISHED AND DID AWAY WITH THE LAW AND NOT ON LAW-KEEPING OR SABBATH-KEEPING

BEWARE: Seventh Day Adventism and other Sabbath-keeping, antichrist cults and their dupes. Their organizations are antichrist cults. These sabbath idolaters are duped pawns of Satan’s system of false teachings that reject Christ’s finished work! They are pawns of the enemy of souls and exist to steal the glory from Christ by putting the emphasis on a small part of His whole creation – one of the seven days He created. See Colossians 2:8-10, 14-19.

Jesus is our Sabbath or Rest …. He alone did all the work to merit our salvation and we rest by faith in His finished work …… Amen LORD!

Though there are 27 books in the New Testament canon of Holy Scripture, not one Holy Spirit inspired writer even hinted, much less instructed us to keep a certain day of the week. Jesus certainly didn’t and the apostle Paul in fact told us it had nothing to do with salvation – “Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days.” (Col. 2:16)

Of course we are to keep Jesus’ commandments, but Jesus never, not once, commanded us to keep any certain day. So, keeping Saturday is a self-imposed law and that’s exactly what Paul is warning about in Colossians 2 when he speaks of those who teach things that actually draw people away from Jesus by pre-occupying them with frivolous non-essentials that do not come from God – “Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God.” (Colossians 2:18-19)

JESUS is the New Testament Sabbath – true Christians rest in Him from trying to be righteous via the law of Moses. Otherwise, no one will be saved from sin or hell.

Only 9 of the 10 carry over into the New Testament. JESUS is our Sabbath – we rest in Him from the law for justification (Hebrews 4). ALL of the other 9 of the 10 commandments are repeated in the New Testament.

ANY person who pushes any certain sabbath day does not know the Sabbath Himself – Jesus Christ.

That labor to enter into His rest does not include keeping any certain day – otherwise He would have told us so.

No day has more significance than the other and anyone who teaches that is leading you away from pure worship of the ONE who made all days. Days were made to worship the Creator in and not to be worshiped.

Those who promote the saturday sabbath have been deceived by a false religion and system of theology. They are personally responsible and will be judged. NOT ONCE did the LORD tell New Testament believers to keep any certain day. You are teaching something contrary to Scripture. You have no divine authority to teach this heresy. You are stealing glory from the Lamb of God who is also the Creator of ALL days and the only ONE worthy to be worshiped.

No amount of study is going to produce one suggestion much less command from the New Testament Scriptures to keep any certain day. So all study that says this is even important or a requirement is law keeping and damnable legalism.

If you are blood-bought then you realize that “CHRIST is the END of the law for righteousness.” (Rom. 10:4). SDA is a cult that over-emphasizes minors and under-emphasizes major truths – Jesus says this is the mark of a hell-bound wolf (Matt. 23:23).

Jesus taught that the whole law hinges on loving God and thy neighbor – Matthew 22:37-40 – not keeping a certain day. In fact, He never instructed anyone to keep any day but to keep Him first (Matthew 6:33).

We are to obey Jesus (Jn 14:15), but Jesus NEVER, not once, hinted to us that we are to keep a Saturday sabbath.

Where did Jesus or His apostles instruct any one to observe any sabbath? Chapter and vs. please?

Does the sabbath day have nail-scarred hands and feet? did the sabbath die and rise again to justify us? was the sabbath day sinless and the only one qualified to fully pay for man’s sins? Is the sabbath day coming back soon? get the point?

Glorifying a mere day instead of the ONE who made all days is gross, antichrist, soul-damning idolatry. Christ nor His holy apostles ever hinted much less instructed believers to observe a certain day of the week…Hebrews 4 teaches us that the OT sabbath day was a mere inferior shadow of what Christ is now the fulfillment – we rest in Him (He’s our Sabbath) from trying to work for justification.

Jesus Christ the divine Person is not elevated by the Sabbath idolaters….read Colossians 2 closely.

God could care less what day one of His children may choose to observe for rest and worship as is crystal clear in the NT Scriptures (Colossians 2:14-17). Jesus is our Sabbath, the Substance of what the OT ceremonial observance merely foreshadowed (Hebrews 10)..

Worshiping the LORD in spirit and in truth “daily” is the Gospel Jesus gave us (Luke 9:23-24). The earliest Jewish believers didn’t wait around till the end of the week. No, they fellowshipped “daily” (Acts 2:42-47). There is no mention even one time of any deacon, disciple, or apostle in the NT Scriptures telling anyone to observe a certain day. That was not and is not the original Gospel – the apostolic Gospel.

Any dabbling into Sabbatarian cults is dangerous…there is a demon spirit that rules over them…and if you go among them or commune with their teachers you will be influenced and those demons are much stronger than us….Christ Jesus truly is the END of the law and law keeping for righteousness (Romans 10:4)…He totally supersedes the inferior, obsolete law… He is superior to all……there is no virtue in keeping a sabbath or any part of the law in seeking to please God…it is only as we lay our whole beings into His hands that His Holy Spirit raises us up and after that fact we fulfill His Word (Romans 3:31, 8:3-4).

Dear sabbath/law-keeping pharisee, I want to exhort you to cease giving ear to any cult’s information and repent and turn to God afresh, falling upon the mercy of God through the shed blood of Christ and establishing that only Jesus and what He single handedly did can save you…repent of placing emphasis on anything other than Him – read Colossians 2 deeply and Galatians… Philippians 3:1-21

There is no devil so insidious and filthy as the Christ-rejecting, law-keeping devil that has come to steal, to kill, and to destroy the eternal souls of men by taking them away from simply faith in the perfect work and saving mercy of God through our LORD Jesus Christ who shed His precious blood on that tree and while He was doing so, declared “It is finished” which simply means “Paid in full”! See John 19:30.

The Old Testament law was a mere schoolmaster to bring us to CHRIST who is the only Salvation (Galatians 3:24). But Christ has come now! Jesus fulfilled or expired – did away with the law – for righteousness (Romans 10:4). The law is for the lawless – those not trusting Christ’s perfect, finished work (John 19:30). While claiming to be “Messianic” many today openly reject Christ by their attempt at law-keeping. They deny that the Messiah came and fulfilled the law, something no man has ever done and if he’s going to try, he’d better keep all 613 laws of the Old Testament.

There is not even a hint of instruction in the New Testament Scriptures to NEW Testament believers to observe a certain day but rather to rest in Christ, our Sabbath Rest who fully accomplished redemption by shedding His precious blood on the altar of the cross and satisfied the claims of the Father’s justice perfectly.

What is the Christ-rejecting, law-keeping religionist saying by insisting that there be a certain day to keep? It’s simple: he’s saying that he is blind and that he is in open denial that the Messiah has already come and fulfilled the law and did away with it with its inferior “weak and beggarly elements” (Galatians 4:9) which when instituted were a mere “shadow” of what was going to come and be the fulfillment of. The Sabbath was the only ceremonial part of the ten commandments. The other nine are moral and carried over into the New Testament. Or, all ten carried over but the fourth is faith – resting in Christ and not trying to keep the law for justification.

More on antichrist Judaizing devils who operate in our midst ….

***ANY person who vainly believes that salvation in Christ has anything at all to do with keeping ANY certain day or eating and not eating certain foods, is an antichrist who denies that Jesus’ precious, sinless blood completely paid for all the sins of mankind. – “It is finished” means “paid in FULL” (John 19:30). BEWARE of the “EVIL workers,” the Judaizing devils who go about on the internet, preying on weak souls who have not truly put their faith in Christ alone for salvation (Philippians 3:1-3).

These SDA and Jewish emphasis cults will expose obvious paganism and falsehoods (like Catholicism) and yet, turn around and hand you another poison that kills you – trusting law-righteousness for salvation. They expose false teachings and then wham, they then turn and insist that Christians can’t eat pork and must keep a sabbath …. those are totally false teachings ….. ANY person teaching these things needs to get saved …. It’s just like Satan to take away one poison and then hand you another poison that will kill you just the same.

Another way to discern Judaizing wolves: Joy and pharisees are mutually exclusive. Why? Because Judaizers are antichrists who do not have the Holy Spirit in their lives, otherwise they would have His joy (Galatians 5:22-23). They are not saved.

THERE is no requirement to keep any certain day under the NEW Testament. Jesus says those who serve Him serve Him “daily” not weekly (Luke 9:23-24; Acts 2:47). See also Col. 2:14-19; Gal. 4:9-11.

Hebrew Hogwash!

WHO are the True Jews? Going Back to Jewish Roots? Think again! BEWARE of this most vile and delusional sham sweeping away the gullible in a feigned attempt to present itself as superior while it’s actually infinitely inferior (Galatians 4:9). Not only is it not superior, it’s going to eternally damn to hell the willingly deceived, antichrist souls of every person who forsakes the living Savior for this falsity. One MUST leave Christ, to depart from the only Savior, to go back to law-keeping. Such a person has denied Christ, has “fallen from grace” – is under a spirit of […]

The Weapons of Our Warfare [podcast]

Fighting Vertically (seeking His face continually) Guarantees that God will take care of the Horizontal

Your ground game will never work until you push praise to the One who made and saved you. Today is your day to train upward. The outward will follow. Verticaly praise to our LORD guarantees horizonal victory. The cross.

“Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds. 6 Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a twoedged sword in their hand; 7 To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people; 8 To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron; 9 To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the LORD.” Psalms 149:5-9

Dealing a crushing blow to your enemies – sin and Satan – requires kisses blown to Jesus Christ, the “first love” of your life! (Revelation 2:4-5) Like David, it will be the worshippers who will be God’s warriors!

“Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.” Psalms 2:12

Seeking the face of the LORD is to be “continually.” The victory Jesus died to procure for you, to bless you to walk in, will evade all who do not “seek his face continually.”

“Seek the LORD and his strength, seek his face continually.” 1 Chronicles 16:11

The only way to get up swinging, get up winning, is to set your heart to seek the face of your Savior! Simple prescription. Do it. Your plan is set in stone. You arise each morning with joyful praise, hands and heart and tongue pointed, aimed at Heaven, lifting the name of Jesus Christ!

“Now set your heart and your soul to seek the LORD your God; arise therefore, and build ye the sanctuary of the LORD God, to bring the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and the holy vessels of God, into the house that is to be built to the name of the LORD.” 1 Chronicles 16:22

The only ones the LORD is going to powerfully use to “build” His kingdom in the hearts of men, are those who “set” their soul to seek His holy face.

Is your obedience being fulfilled? Are you filled with love and therefore obedience to the Savior?

The “weapons of our warfare” are:

The Word of God (Ephesians 6:17).
Prayer and persistence in prayer (Luke 18:1-8; 1 Thessalonians 5:17).
The name of Jesus (Acts 14:13-14; 16:23-24; Acts 3:16, etc.).

OUR GREATEST WEAPON IS THE WRITTEN WORD, PRAYER, AND THE NAME OF JESUS SAINTS. FRET NOT.

In the wilderness Jesus defeated the enemy by speaking forth the Word (Luke 4). He pulled out specific ammo for the enemy to address specific attacks, On all points, against every weapon of the enemy, Jesus had ammo with the devil’s evil name on it. And in doing so, He gave us the knowledge and example of how the enemy is defeated in our own lives. The Word of God is “mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds” and is “sharper than any twoedged sword” (2 Corinthians 10:4; Hebrews 4:12).

Studying, knowing the Word of God is like building the military, the arsenal of your life, in order to defeat the enemy. Without a strong arsenal of weapons and ammo, and the expert ability to use those weapons, you will be naked in the battle and lose. God’s Word is your arsenal – that which you have in you – the knowledge and performance thereof. Nothing is more important to your life today than seeking God in His Word and prayer. Jesus is Heaven’s Mighty Warrior, He is “a man of war” and is coming back “in flaming fire…” (2 Thessalonians 1:7-10; Revelation 19:11-16, etc.).

“Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.” 1 Timothy 6:12

We are in a war and must fight to win! “FIGHT the good fight….”

“For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: 4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) 5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; 6 And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.” 2 Corinthians 10:3-6

Jesus demonstrated exactly what “the weapons of our warfare” are when He faced Satan in the wilderness. That weapon is the Word of God.

David, who was first a worshipper, was also an expert warrior. His life is a great example to the New Testament saint. David was learning to walk with the LORD, faithfully seeking Him in the pasture as he tended to sheep. He was building up his arsenal. And because he truly knew and sought the LORD, having been diligently training for warfare, the LORD, who is “a man of war,” directed him in choosing the specific ammo from His arsenal to take out Goliath (Exodus 15:3).

The “good soldier of Jesus Christ” is entrenched in the business of war, of winning the war. His Master, Jesus Christ, has never lost – and never will. Yet that blessing is reserved exclusively to those of His saints, His holy soldiers, who “strive lawfully.”

“Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. 4 No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier. 5 And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully.” 2 Timothy 2:3-5

Striving “lawfully” simply means striving or working God’s way, according to His instructions and wishes, and not your own. Such includes to:

“endure hardness.”
realize you are a “soldier” which means you are in a war.
not be entangled with this world.
seek to please the LORD, who is “a man of war” and has chosen you to be His “soldier,” waging His war.

The LORD has and is bringing His true disciples to the understanding that this truly is a WAR, a fight to the death. You must “FIGHT the good fight of faith” or you will be a needless casualty of war! (1 Timothy 6:12) And so a military, a militant stance, posture, must be assumed by the disciple who will endure to the end (Matthew 10:22; 24:10-14, etc.).

Special Ops Spiritual Warfare [podcast]

The LORD, the Master Potter, continues to prepare each of His people. And as He does, He has ordained special missions for each to accomplish. Before our military men go to war, are sent on special ops, they must first be rigorously prepared, right? Before one of God’s people can be dropped behind enemy lines and used on special missions, he must be prepared by the Commander in Chief, Jesus Christ, who is “the Captain of their salvation.” (Hebrews 2:10) “But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of […]

A Fresh Look at Jesus’ 7 Letters to the Churches [podcast]

Did Jesus tell even one of the seven churches He addressed that they are as sure for Heaven as if they were already there due to being initially saved by Him?

Did Jesus give conditions for being with Him in eternal glory?

Can someone please help me figure out where un-conditional eternal security/OSAS fits in with the 7 letters of Jesus to the churches of Asia? Is it anywhere mentioned? No.

Can anyone find OSAS/eternal security in Jesus’ 7 letters to CHURCHES in Revelation 2 and 3? No. No such thing. Instead He gives conditions to overcome, to endure to the end, to abide, remain, and continue in Christ, in faith and obedience.

No such thing as “eternal security” in Christ’s kingdom until AFTER you are in Heaven. Such heresy is the bait of Satan as it was in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 2:17 > 3:4). Only moral cowards who make excuse for sin instead of being crucified with Christ daily as Jesus commanded. Bite on this bait (Luke 9:23-25). Eternal hell awaits. Time to repent and get “honest” (Luke 8:15).

Satan’s First Doctrine is a Lie. Yet Many Claim it’s Part of the Gospel of Jesus. Beware of these Wolves.

No such thing as a born again AND presently abiding saint who is not fruitful, who is not bearing good fruit. Otherwise why did Jesus instruct His people to know themselves and others “by their fruit”? See Matthew 7:16, 19. Such a notion as is heretical. Anyone who Jesus saves and then they don’t endure to the end, they don’t continue abiding in Christ, is no longer the LORD’s and going to hell. Read John 15:1-6 and stop believing the Devil’s very first lie—OSAS (Genesis 2:17; 3:4).

“If a man abide (continue, remain) not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.” John 15:6

WHEN YOU ARE IN YOUR MIND beginning to make excuse for sin, you KNOW it’s your un-crucified flesh and Satan that are in control. You know then that repentance, re-turning to the LORD who is Holy, is necessary.

“Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: 14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. 15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.” James 1:13-15

“He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.” Proverbs 28:13

When you are tempted to believe in the satanic heresy of “eternal security,” otherwise known as “once saved always saved (OSAS),” you know SATAN is seeking to seduce you (Genesis 2:17; 3:14).

Concerning these 7 letters of Jesus to the churches, one source notes the following:

“Revelation chapters 2 and 3 contain seven individual messages from Jesus Christ to seven historical churches in Asia Minor. The letters share a common pattern: an address to the church’s angel, a description of Christ, an evaluation of the church’s spiritual state, a call to repentance or perseverance, and a promise to those who overcome.”

Overview of the Letters

Ephesus, Pergamum, Sardis, and Laodicea receive direct rebukes for forsaking their first love, tolerating false teachings, dead orthodoxy, or lukewarmness, alongside urgent calls to repent.

Smyrna and Philadelphia face intense tribulation or persecution yet receive no rebuke, and are encouraged to hold fast to their faith.

Promises to Overcomers: Each letter concludes with eternal assurances for “him that overcometh” such as the tree of life (Revelation 2:7), the crown of life (Revelation 2:10), and exemption from the second death (Revelation 2:11).

The Notion of Eternal Security Expelled

Some interpret the repeated conditional commands to “overcome” and “hold fast” as evidence that eternal salvation requires ongoing faithfulness and endurance to the end, suggesting that warnings against unrepentance involve real spiritual risk rather than unconditional security.”

For Example, Jesus’ letter to the church at Sardis:

“And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead.
2 Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God.
3 Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.
4 Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy.
5 He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
6 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.” Revelation 3:1-6

Also:

“… confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.” Acts 14:22

“And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved …. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.” Matthew 10:22; 24:13

Concerning Jesus’ 7 Letters and OSAS, once commentator notes:

“The seven letters of Jesus in Revelation 2-3 challenge absolute eternal security (“once saved, always saved”) by repeatedly commanding repentance, warning believers that unfaithfulness carries severe consequences, and conditioning eternal promises on actual endurance.

Warnings and Conditions in the Letters

Ephesus: Jesus warns that if the church does not repent for leaving its first love, He will “remove thy candlestick out of his place” (Revelation 2:5). [1]

Smyrna & Philadelphia: The promise of the crown of life and inclusion is explicitly tied to being “faithful unto death” (Revelation 2:10) and holding fast what they have “that no man take thy crown” (Revelation 3:11).

Thyatira: Jesus warns He will cast those committing adultery into great tribulation and will “kill her children with death” (Revelation 2:22-23).

Sardis: Jesus tells those who do not watch that He will come upon them “as a thief” (Revelation 3:3).

Laodicea: The lukewarm church is threatened with rejection: “I will spue thee out of my mouth” (Revelation 3:16).

The Promise to the Overcomer

In every letter, rewards like eating from the tree of life or being clothed in white raiment are promised specifically “to him that overcometh” (Revelation 2:7, 3:5).

Supporters of eternal security point to Christ’s assurance in Sardis—“I will not blot out his name out of the book of life” (Revelation 3:5)—as proof of permanent keeping, while critics argue the conditional phrasing implies names can be blotted out for failing to overcome.”

Apostasy

“Warn them from Me”: The 3 Things Paul did to Protect God’s People [podcast]

The 3 Things Paul did to Protect God’s People [podcast]

Jesus and His holy apostles often rebuked and exposed false leaders and false doctrine (Matthew 23; Acts 13:10; 20:29-31; Galatians 5:11-12; 2 Timothy 4:2-4; 2 Peter 2; 2 John 7-11; Revelation 2:6, 15, etc.). Therefore we know that part of following Jesus includes doing the same. In fact, the body of Christ is mandated to do just that (Romans 16:17-18; Philippians 1:17; Jude 3-4).

PWT = Preach, WARN, Teach

“Whom we PREACH, WARNING every man, and TEACHING every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:” Colossians 1:28

Did you catch what the apostle Paul did to prepare the church to meet Christ?

Preach
WARN
Teach

Any man not guarding, not protecting Christ’s flock, by warning of false teachers and false doctrine, is himself a wolf!

Simply put, it doesn’t matter what you think: The LORD has commanded that Satan’s ministers, his human emissaries, be exposed. Time to shut up and obey! (2 Corinthians 11:12-15)

Lest someone think that warning is a cover for slander, let’s address that.

There is a difference between warning and slander. Warning is to be distinguished from slander. William Penn said it correctly when he recorded these words of wisdom:

“Believe nothing against another but on good authority; and never report what may hurt another, unless it be a greater hurt to some other to conceal it.” ~William Penn

The love of God in us will compel us to warn. Firstly this is done in obedience to the LORD and for the protection and care of those being warned. Warning is divinely mandated in order to protect His beloved sheep.

2 Corinthians 5:9-11, 14-21

“Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him. 10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. 11 Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences. … 14 For the love of Christ constraineth (compels) us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead: 15 And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again. 16 Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more. 17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; 19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. 20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God. 21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.”

“The Apostle had arrived at the deliberate conclusion and judgment that the ‘all’ who realized what Christ had done for them (and he among them) must live with as much devotion toward Him as others toward themselves. A new world had been opened by Christ’s resurrection. All things had become new. Let us live in daily touch with that world of faith and glory, refusing to be judged by the old standards. It is clear that the reconciliation of the world is as complete as God can make it, but it is for us to urge men to fall in with and accept God’s proposals.” FB Meyer

“Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we the more earnestly persuade men to seek his favour; and as God knoweth this, so, I trust, ye know it in your own consciences.” John Wesley

It’s a blessing to be humbled, to be brought low. Sometimes we need to be embarrassed (Proverbs 6:23). There’s a place for it. Paul openly rebuked Peter publicly (Galatians 2). That wound worked to the glory of God and the eternal good of Peter.

“For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:” Romans 6:23

Keep in mind that each one of us are at times in need of being admonished, corrected, or even rebuked…. it’s “the way of life” as long as we are in this world and it’s out of the love of our God and for our own eternal good.

“As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.” Revelation 3:19

Did God command us to warn the wicked?

Ezekiel 3:7 “Warn them from me.”

“So thou, O son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and WARN THEM FROM ME.” Ezekiel 33:7

What would you think of the father who lived on a busy street and refused to warn his children to stay away from that street?

“Whom we PREACH, WARNing every man, and TEACHing every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:” Colossians 1:28

Were Jesus, His prophets, and apostles trying to harm the body of Christ when they often warned of and exposed wolves and their false teachings by name? No, he sought to get the cancer out of the body of Christ so it couldn’t spread (Romans 16:17-18, etc.). Beware of the wolf defenders who refuse to believe the wolves they follow are antichrist enemies of the LORD (2 John 10-11).

“Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins.” Isaiah 58:1

Most warnings in God’s Word are to the backslidden – those who after being Christ’s, have departed from the faith – and also the counterfeits who have a mere form of godliness.

Jesus says, “If ye love me, keep my commandments” (John 14:15).

Isaiah 59

“Behold, the LORD’S hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear: 2 But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear. 3 For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue hath muttered perverseness. 4 None calleth for justice, nor any pleadeth for truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity.”

“Thy prophets (leaders) have seen vain and foolish things for thee: and they have not discovered (uncovered) thine iniquity, to turn away thy captivity (bondage); but have seen for thee false burdens and causes of banishment.” Lamentation 2:14

God instructed us to “mark” false leaders. Jesus is the Great Shepherd of the sheep and intends for them to be protected from being lured away (Hebrews 13:20; Romans 16:17-18).

“Christians do not judge the world. Christians must judge those who SAY they live for Christ. Wolves will not spare the flock where pretenders go unchallenged/unjudged.” Robert Lorne

Paul had the heart of the Savior as we should. He cried “with tears” for three years day and night over the protection of Jesus’ sheep and said He gave them all the counsel of God, not just some of it, to protect them (Acts 20:20-32).

Ignoring and deciding we are going to selectively pick out what we want to preach and reject the rest that WE don’t like is anything but the cross. This reveals the heart of a self-serving tare. A person truly in the cross says LORD, “NOT my will but thine be done,” and not “I’ll decide for myself what I’m going to preach” (Luke 22:42).

“And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove (expose) them.” Ephesians 5:11

After promising that we are His and we shall be persecuted as He was, then our LORD informs us that He is going to expose darkness and that we are to be a part of this process as we stand and speak His His light of truth into the darkness of our day. And to fear not anyone except Him (v 26-28).

“Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known. 27 What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops. 28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.” Matthew 10:26-28

Jesus instructed us to know that He will bring all darkness, every dark deed and evil doer into the light (v26), and told us to shout it, to expose it to all from the housetops (v27), and to do so fearlessly as concerns mere sinful men – the guilty ones who will persecute you for exposing them (v28).

How are we to warn them? what is to be our disposition in warning others as the LORD commanded? One thing we should keep in mind is that God wants us dealing biblically – with the desire to restore – and without personal wrath (Galatians 6:1-2).

“For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.” James 1:20

It’s a scary thing to NOT warn the wicked….

“When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to WARN the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.” Ezekiel 3:18

“And of some have compassion, making a difference: 23 And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.” Jude 22-23

Read these 2 verses closely. Notice how if you die in sin – no matter what your past relationship with God was – you are going to hell irrevocably. Enduring to the end of your life on earth with Christ, in an abiding relationship, is essential to eternal glory. Summation: The LORD judges people on their spiritual state at the moment of death. Share. Repent now heretic.

The Warnings of the Book of Jude [podcast]

“Reformed Theology“, is just a fancy way of saying ‘We know better than Paul, the old testament prophets, even David! And the very apostles who walked with Jesus must be unlearned men or liars.’ Nay, I will not say such a thing of my LORD and Saviour, Christ Jesus. Let God be true, and >every< man a liar.” Jonathan Crane It’s “ungodly men” who mislead the gullible with the eternal security heresy, and the heretical doctrines and system of calvinism. Jude warned us of just that, as did the prophets (Jude 3-4; Jeremiah 23:17, etc.). Then Jude reminds us of God’s […]
