Clueless People Vomiting GOD's Wrath

       With all due respect to the late  R.C Sproul, with whom I vehemently disagreed with on many points, has some really great points in some of his better sermons. I chose this picture to illustrate the point of my title.  Church people are clueless when it comes to relating to non-church people.  I was not a church person for the first twenty-six years of my life, so I remember well living outside the walls of the church without the great Translator, the Holy Spirit.  I know what it's like to hear "greek" when a born-again holy roller said something.  Most church people are the type that have been sitting in a pew since they were in their mother's womb. They don't get us and we don't get them. How can they, they were never one of us.  When I refer to church people, I'm talking about the ones who know nothing other than the morality gospel.  The word gospel means good news, the morality gospel is not good news.  The morality gospel says, "You people outside the church are dirty sinners, and you are all going to hell, unless you conform to the likeness of us,"  PERIOD. 

     Beside the fact that hell is a fictional place, the doctrine of eternal conscious torture and torment was made up by the church, (written about in a previous blog post: The BIGGEST and most EGREGIOUS Lie of Christianity), church people usually use the Bible and Scripture as a weapon and not for healing.  Jesus came to heal and teach, not to condemn.  I know this, because after over two decades as a church person, I did the same thing. It was after a period of being a prodigal, I remembered what it was like to live on the outside.  I wish church people on the inside would get that using Scripture as a weapon does not bring life, but kills instead.  Most of them are too busy bathing and being baptized over and over again in their own self-righteousness that they have lost the entire purpose of the coming of Jesus to bring us to the Father. 

   

    Maybe I can give you another example of if you haven't worn their shoes, you can't walk in them. I've never been a drug addict, henceforth, I do not know their struggle because I've never walked in their shoes.  With that being said, as a cancer survivor who was on some serious pain-killers during radiation hell, I do understand slightly what withdrawal is.  About two weeks after the last treatment, I noticed some alleviation in the pain, hence, I took off all the patches and threw them in the trash.  BIG MISTAKE!  The next day, I woke up, and I wish I hadn't, because I was freezing and sweating at the same time.  I was as sick with the "flu" as one could be without actually having the virus.  Going off all that pain medication in one instant like that was the equivalent of going cold turkey off Heroin after being on it 24/7 for three months.   It was then that I got a whole new appreciation for their struggle.  So, to say I can relate to a drug addict is only in the sense that I get what withdrawal feels like, but I never had the desire to go back to pain medication after that. I can empathize only partially. 

   What is so sad about the ineffective evangelism of the Christian church is that these people raised in it don't understand those who are not.  Only the Holy Translator Who speaks all languages can. The best and only thing one can do is love them and pray for them, because if God wants them, only He can do what it takes to win them. Let GOD convict them instead of you trying to convince them.  The only thing a human does by trying to convince and outsider to live by insider rules is to push the outsider further outside. 

  

    Now, to many, I may come off that way as self-righteous, and I'm sorry for that.  Yet, there is the other end of the spectrum and that is that GOD is all-loving, never judgmental, loving unconditionally, because GOD is Jesus, and not the other way around.  Jesus is part of the Trinity, he is the GOD the Son.  He did come to judge, but he judged the self-righteous right.  He also came to tell sinners that there was a way out, but that way was narrow, and few find it.  He was talking to his own people, the Jews, well, I'm talking to my own people, the church.  The road is narrow, and sadly, many people in the church are on the broad road, the road to destruction, because they have been taught a lie.  The lie is all you have to do is believe in Jesus, and regardless of what you do, you are saved, because if you obey the TORAH, which means INSTRUCTIONS, the same INSTRUCTIONS Yeshua obeyed, well, that's a works doctrine and you are not under grace.  Jesus did not come to abolish the TORAH, GOD's INSTRUCTIONS, he came to do what it could not do, save us, but that doesn't mean we throw the instruction manual out.  

   If we use grace as a license to sin, then we got our license from the devil, not GOD.  We have a license to do good, to live right, not just a  get-out-of-hell-free card.  In other words, if you're sleeping with the flavor of the month and going to church every Sunday, you have created a god in your own image, one you can accept instead of the One who wants to accept you.  Stop going to church, because He hates a hypocrite.  Let me explain what the true and proper "fear of GOD" is, and it's not what you think.  We devoted ones aren't afraid of his wrath, what we are afraid of is the dreaded "wooden spoon" from heaven, maybe y'all from the south would understand the "switch" better. Those who truly belong to YHVH GOD, or are truly working out their salvation in Jesus with fear and trembling cannot go on sinning or living in sin, because the Holy Spirit won't let them.  Sometimes, GOD has to put a hook in our noses to bring us back to him, (2 Chronicles 33)  and blessed is that man GOD will go that far to bring back to the fold, even if he thinks he's still in the fold sitting in a pew every week.  

    

  

ONE TRUTH or THOUSANDS OF DENOMINATIONS

     A new pastor from a church, of which we used to be members, called me to ask if we were once members of this congregation, and I said yes. He tried to get me to come back to church on Sunday. I told him I was not a Christian any longer, that I considered myself a Messianic Jew. I explained that I found out about my Jewish heritage in 2018, and after careful study of Scripture, I realized that Christianity was never something that Yeshua began.  He said, and I quote, "Well, if you believe in Jesus as your Savior, then I consider you a Christian." I corrected him and told him that Messianic Jews are NOT Christians, because we know that Christianity is a  man-made religion. I told him that I've studied the Scriptures and church history too well, and I cannot go on living the lies I've learned in Christianity. I began to tell him the truth, and he quickly and abruptly ended the conversation and wished me well.  

    This is something we face daily, we lovers of the TORAH.  Christian pastors avoid us like the plague, because they know only what the seminaries have taught them: Anyone who believes in Jesus as their Savior is a Christian, and they must fit and conform to the mold, and it's their job to make them conform.  They choose to believe the lie that Yeshua began Christianity.  He did not.  He came to teach TORAH, which means instructions.  He came to differntiate Halacha, oral law created by man from the true TORAH, which is GOD's instructions to man.  Halacha is what man added to TORAH, which was strictly forbidden by YHVH GOD. 

   So, the lie that Christianity began with Jesus and his Disciples began with the antisemite church, the Roman Church.  The evil ROMAN Catholic Church lied 1800 years ago and created a corrupt system of government for the followers of Yeshua HaMashiach. They stripped them of their ability to read Scripture on their own when Jerome translated the Scriptures into the Latin Vulgate. (Which went against YHVH GOD's intention of keeping the Word of GOD in a common language most could read.) The ROMAN Church intentionally harassed, persecuted and murdered anyone who tried to get the Scriptures into the hands of ordinary people. If this historical video doesn't boil your blood, nothing will. The great murderous Roman Catholic Church

  Their new system of governance is just as corrupt as the US Federal Government has become. The mother church system spawned a rebellious daughter called the Protestant Rebellion, which in turn created in and of itself a just as corrupt a system of the governance of spirituality, dividing it unto thousands of denominations with different sets of rules and by-laws to live by. The Reformation was only people who wanted to rebel from the Mother church, but keep from her what it liked and wanted, i.e. infant baptism and some of the sacraments, including pagan holidays baptized into Christ. Yeshua did not start another religion nor did he abolish the old one, yet the Christian church seems to want to skip over his own words for what they misinterpret Sha'ul/Paul saying in the book of Romans.

Matthew 5

17 “Don’t think that I have come to abolish the Torah or the Prophets. I have come not to abolish but to complete. 18 Yes indeed! I tell you that until heaven and earth pass away, not so much as a yud or a stroke will pass from the Torah — not until everything that must happen has happened. 19 So whoever disobeys the least of these mitzvot and teaches others to do so will be called the least in the Kingdom of Heaven. But whoever obeys them and so teaches will be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven. 20 For I tell you that unless your righteousness is far greater than that of the Torah-teachers and P’rushim, you will certainly not enter the Kingdom of Heaven!

Yeshua HaMashiach the Son of YHVH GOD was a TORAH keeper, and he taught us to do the same. PERIOD. We were taught by Sha'ul, the Jewish Pharisee who became a follower of the Jewish Yeshua to walk as Yeshua did. The Roman Catholic Church invented a gentile Jesus and a converted Paul with new rules and regulations, neither of whom ever existed. The Protestant church only extended the corrupt teachings of the Roman Catholic church, and stripped the Scriptures of the Jewish heritage. The Roman Catholic Church outlawed the Hebrew Scriptures and the Torah completely. Yes, the Roman Church outlawed YHVH GOD's own Instructions which is Hebrew is translated Torah that He established with Moses. Now, that's arrogance. In the 15th Century, Martin Luther, the began the rebellion of Roman Catholicism did not go far enough. He tried to convert Jews to protestantism, but when he could not he began to hate them, and later his writing inspired the contemporary anti-semite Adolph Hitler into trying to eliminate all of those of Hebrew descent. A two-thousand year-old lie is just that, an old lie, not the truth, not the way, and surely not what Yeshua began. Sha'ul called what Yeshua began as "The Way," not Christianity.
