SALVATION THROUGH FAITH
"If all else fails...READ THE MANUAL!"
What does the scriptures actually say about the 2 Gospels of Peter and Paul?
26 AD - Jesus commands the Apostles to NOT take the Gospel of Law given to Moses to the Gentiles.
(MATTHEW 10)
5. These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, GO NOT into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not:
6. But GO RATHER to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
29 AD - Just before His ascension, Jesus changes this to "Leave Jerusalem and take The Law into the other Nations". This is what modern "Christianity" bases their teachings on. It is commonly known as The Great Commission.
(MATTHEW 28)
18. And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, "All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
19. GO ye therefore, and TEACH ALL NATIONS, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
20. Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I HAVE COMMANDED YOU: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen."
The Law of Moses is "approved" for the Gentiles.
35 AD - Philip goes to the city of Samaria, preaching Christ and healing many. The entire city responds and is baptised in the name of Christ. When the Apostles hear of this, they send Peter and John, who after praying for them to receive The Holy Spirit and laying hands on them, witness these Gentiles receive The Holy Spirit. (ACTS 8)
Philip couldn't save ANY Gentiles because he was not given authority to do so. Jesus told ONLY The Apostles to leave Jerusalem and take the Law of Moses to the Gentiles.
THE TRANSITION OF SAUL
36 AD - Saul is blinded and converted to Messianic Christianity. He tries to associate himself with the Jews saved through recognizing Jesus as The Messiah, but they were afraid and didn't trust him. Barnabas came and took him to the Apostles where he is mighty in The Word. This impresses the Apostles but terrifies many Jews because of his knowledge. Barnabas takes Saul away to Damascus to save his life. (ACTS 9)
Saul is sent by God into Arabia to Mt Sinai, then back to Damascus. During this 3 years, the same amount of time Jesus spent with The Apostles, Jesus reveals to Paul 7 "mysteries" (secrets) including The Gospel of Grace.
(GALATIONS 1)
15. But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and CALLED ME BY HIS GRACE,
16. To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:
17. Neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me; but I went into Arabia, and returned again unto Damascus.
39 AD - Peter is visited by God. When He lowers a sheet showing "unclean beasts", God commands Peter to eat from one of the animals. At first, he refuses saying this goes against the previous Commandments. He finally agrees and eats but doesn't know why. This is done 3 times as a sign to Peter (Jews require signs) that God is revealing a major change happening in how God is bringing Redemption.
The Holy Spirit comes to Peter and tells him 3 Gentiles will come to Peter from Caesarea and tells him to follow these 3 men and to DOUBT NOTHING (to believe by Faith.) He is also told to bring 3 Jewish priests with him, making 7 witnesses of the new Gospel of Grace.
Peter and the priests go to the house of Cornelius, a Gentile and a Roman Soldier. They are told not to fear, that these soldiers want to hear about Jesus. And who taught them...PETER!
Without knowing it, He was telling them who Jesus was, what he did and what he said and promised. When Peter told them of the shedding of blood at the cross, the death and burial and resurrection, the Gentiles began speaking in tongues filled with The Holy Spirit. This shocked Peter and the Jewish Priests as no repentance or baptism took place. (ACTS 10)
This is the fulfilling of Jesus's promise to Peter.
(Matthew 16)
17. And Jesus answered and said unto him, "Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona (Peter): for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.
18. And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this ROCK (foundation) I WILL BUILD (in the future) my CHURCH (not The Kingdom); and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it."
The BODY OF CHRIST BEGAN WITH PETER, although he did not know it, laying the foundation by getting the first Christians into it.
Immediately after the foundation is laid by Peter, Jesus begins to build on the Body of Christ through Paul, bringing the gift of The Gospel of Grace to the whole world and then spread by Paul, Barnabas, Timothy, etc.
It had long been foretold in Old Testament prophecy that the Gentiles would be welcome in the Kingdom of God (in Heaven, not the Kingdom on Earth promised to the Jews), even from the PROMISE OF ABRAHAM whose SEED (Jesus) would bless ‘ALL nations’ (Genesis 12:1-3, Isaiah 2:2, 49:6, Joel 2:28-32).
50 AD - By this time, there were Jewish Priests coming in, after Paul had already saved Gentiles, telling them to get circumcised, baptized, etc. or they can not be saved.
They were already baptized in The Holy Spirit by the gift of the Gospel of Grace. The Priests were trying to force works onto people already saved by faith alone. This led to The Council at Jerusalem around 50 AD where Paul and Barnabas went before the Apostles to discuss this issue.
(ACTS 15)
1. And certain men which came down from Judaea taught the brethren, and said, "Except ye be circumcised after the manner of Moses, ye cannot be saved."
(Forcing WORKS on people already saved by FAITH ALONE)
2. When therefore Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and disputation with them, they determined that Paul and Barnabas, and certain other of them, should go up to Jerusalem unto the apostles and elders about this question.
When they got to Jerusalem there was much debate over this. Then Peter stands up and recounts "Remember what I told you that I witnessed at Cornelius's house that I saw Gentiles saved by FAITH ALONE."
Peter then asks them why would you want to force works onto the Gentiles.
(ACTS 15)
10. Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a YOKE ON THE NECK of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?
(GALATIANS 2)
2. And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the GRACE that was GIVEN UNTO ME, they gave to me and Barnabas the RIGHT HANDS OF FELLOWSHIP; that WE (Paul and his disciples) would GO UNTO THE HEATHEN (Gentiles, preaching the Gospel of Grace), and THEY (the Church at Jerusalem) GO UNTO THE CIRCUMCISION (Jews, preaching the Law of Moses).
This brought to an end "The Great Commission" since the ONLY people authorized to save Gentiles by The Law of Moses, the Apostles, stopped preaching to the Gentiles.
When the Apostles were later killed, it ended "The Great Commission" once and for all.
Not that it matters much since the Law of Moses was stopped in 70 AD with the destruction of The Holy Temple..
66 AD - By this time Peter and Paul were imprisoned awaiting death. Paul has realized that The Messiah wasn't coming back in his lifetime. He then writes to the Jews and instructs them for Salvation they will need to go to Paul's epistles.
(II PETER 3)
15. And account that the LONGSUFFERING OF OUR LORD (The Crucifixion) IS SALVATION; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;
16. As also in ALL HIS EPISTLES (Peter states Paul's writings are scripture), speaking in them of these things; in which are some things HARD TO BE UNDERSTOOD, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest (wrestle), as they DO ALSO the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.
17. Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being LED AWAY with the error of the wicked, fall from your own STEADFASTNESS.
18. BUT GROW IN GRACE (The New Gospel), and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.
70 AD - God "pauses" the Gospel of the Law of Moses. He releases Israel to now be overrun by the Romans. They destroyed The Holy Temple, then The Holy City and finally The Holy Nation of Israel.
=================================================================================================
<70 AD-2022 AD - Age of Grace >
The ONLY means of Salvation during this period is in Paul's epistles.
(I CORINTHIANS 15)
1. Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, AND WHEREIN YE STAND;
2. By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
3. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ DIED FOR OUR SINS ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURES;
4. And that he was BURIED, and that he ROSE AGAIN the third day according to the scriptures:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<1> WHEREIN YE STAND
This means to stand on your beliefs. This is NOT WORKS. What it means is if you believe you are saved by FAITH ALONE, you would not believe in works for Salvation.
God doesn't waste words. He didn't just say "You are saved by FAITH." He didn't just say "You are saved by faith ALONE."
He said "You are saved by FAITH.....ALONE.....NOT WORKS." He went to some effort to get this across.
FYI - This new plan of Salvation was so incredibly easy yet so hard to believe that He chose THE WORST PERSON ON THE PLANET, AN ABSOLUTE JESUS HATER, TO BRING THE GOSPEL OF GRACE TO THE WORLD...Saul. This is the man who either chased away from Israel or imprisoned or killed EVERYONE Jesus saved.
If a sinner like Saul can be saved through FAITH ALONE, so can you!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<2> NEVER ASK FORGIVENESS!
We are saved through faith in Jesus's FINISHED WORK OF THE CROSS. Scripture tells us the Jesus washed away our sins with His Holy blood. Since our faith in the death, burial and resurrection is counted for righteousness, we ARE RIGHTEOUS before God.
Jesus IS righteous before God. Our faith gives us righteousness, making us into...THE BODY OF CHRIST!
(ROMANS 4)
3. For what saith the scripture? Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was COUNTED unto him FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS.
4. Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.
5. But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his FAITH IS COUNTED FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS.
Asking our Heavenly Father for forgiveness goes AGAINST scripture.
(JOHN 14)
6. Jesus saith unto him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life: NO MAN COMETH unto the Father, BUT BY ME."
<3> BELIEVE NOT IN JUDGEMENT
If you believe your faith is COUNTED FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS, you would NOT BELIEVE you will be judged for your sins. The Body of Christ IS righteous and WILL NOT BE JUDGED for sins.
Remember the last thing Peter said about Paul's Gospel..."HARD TO UNDERSTAND"...because Satan has the world teaching a lie that is widely accepted (baptism and other works for Salvation) even though IT IS NOT SCRIPTURALLY TRUE.
And God asks man, "WHAT HAVE YOU WROUGHT?"
In 367 AD, the church father Athanasius first provided the complete listing of the 66 books belonging to The Holy Bible. There are different versions of the Bible with different books or the books are in a different order. The Apocrypha is an example of other books. But in every Bible, Paul's Epistles are always in order, which is interesting. The LAST Church Paul wrote to was The Romans, yet it is his FIRST book in the Bible...because it is PERTINENT NOW. Romans is the "introductory" to Paul's teaching us about The Gospel of Grace. They were ALL Latin translations which Satan manages to eliminate Latin, now called a "dead" language.
Catholic tradition "considers" that the Catholic Church is a continuation of the early Christian community established by the Disciples of Jesus. The Church "considers" its bishops to be the successors to Jesus's apostles. The Pope is "considered" to be the sole successor to Peter who ministered in Rome in the 1st century after his appointment by Jesus as head of the Church.
QUESTION 1: At what point Peter, the rock (foundation) that Jesus had Paul, Barnabas, etc. build on, did Jesus promote him to "Head of the Church"? By the end, he wasn't even the head of the Church at Jerusalem...James was.
QUESTION 2: How can Catholic Bishops be the successors to Jesus's Apostles? They can not save anyone. They're NOT APOSTLES. Remember, EVEN Phillip could not save anyone. He had to call a real Priest.
787 AD - The 2nd Council of Nicaea affirmed a 3 level hierarchy that applies to God, the Virgin Mary...and then to the other saints. They establish prayers to Mary to "intercede" to The Father on our behalf. NONE COME TO THE FATHER BUT BY ME apparently doesn't apply to Catholics.
The following is a line from "The History of The Catholic Church"
"As PREACHERS such as Paul of Tarsus began converting Gentiles, Christianity began "growing away?" from Jewish practices to establish itself as a separate religion, though the issue of Paul of Tarsus and Judaism is still debated today."
QUESTION 3: At what point did Paul get demoted to a preacher...not even a Bishop?
So the Catholic Church has already promoted Peter, demoted Paul and made a whole appointment for Mary as "advocate" to God...and they're just starting. The Catholic Church kept The Bible, which was written in Latin, untranslated for several centuries so they could control the message and use it to their advantage. This effectively kept The Word from the people it was written for. This helped The Dark Ages go on for several centuries. They also brought us The "Holy Crusades" where apparently God told these people that "he" wanted them to go rape and pillage Arabia. Then there was The Spanish Inquisition...and these are just the highlights.
Currently Catholic Church policy is if a Priest is caught molesting an altar boy, he is chastised and moved to a new church.
The Protestant Reformation resulted in the creation of SEVERAL "branches" of Christianity called Protestantism, a name used to refer to the MANY "religious" groups that separated from the Roman Catholic Church due to DIFFERENCES IN DOCTRINE.
In the 1830s came the Mormons, whose whole belief system is based on a belief everybody has some Jewish blood in them making EVERYONE a Jew. They actually have a "priest" that you can visit who will tell you what tribe of Israel you are from. They practice mostly Judaism, some Catholicism and the occasional made up story while constantly railing against "The Great and Abominable Church", the Catholics. And they, like most churches, believe that they are the ONLY ONES who can save you.
QUESTION 4: How many churches tell you that they are the only ones who can save you?
Between all these different churches giving different versions of what God said and did, we also get The Puritans, Fire and Brimstone and The Witch Trials. There's a great idea...if a woman begins to think for her self, she must be possessed. Let's send a Priest out and have him tie a rock to her and throw her in the water. If she doesn't drown, she must be possessed, so burn her at the stake.
Now we come to Evangelism...Jim Bakker (adultery and theft), Jimmy Swaggart (adultery), Robert Tilton (adultery and theft), Ted Haggard (homosexuality and drugs).
"Satan's agents are everywhere and include feminists, Democrats and rock musicians." Jimmy Swaggart
Tony Alamo in the 1970s preached a fundamentalist interpretation of Christianity. When his wife died, he displayed her embalmed body for months and claimed she would rise from the dead. In 2009, he was sentenced to 175 years in prison. The charges included sexual abuse, transporting underage girls across state lines for sexual purposes, pedophilia, marrying an 8 year old girl and child rape. Alamo's defense: he was FRAMED BY THE VATICAN.
There are always those who are false teachers, but these are now the main stream of teaching. Bob Coy was the most famous evangelical pastor in Florida. His Ft Lauderdale megachurch had 25,000 members and George W. Bush even visited Coy. But in 2014, he admitted to multiple affairs and a pornography addiction. In 2017, Coy was publicly accused of molesting a 4 year old child.
QUESTION 5: How many people listen to these people and believe all that they say?
And what do they teach? THE SAME DOCTRINE MOST CHURCHES TEACH TODAY...9 of 10, 2/3 and none.
THE NEW "GOSPEL?"
1. There are 10 Commandments, not 9. And the Sabbath is Saturday, not Sunday, not that anyone observes it. When the first churches were formed by Paul in Antioch, Corinth, etc., it was decided to gather together once a week to share teachings and learn The Word. They decided NOT to use Saturday, the Sabbath, to avoid confusion. They decided since they were saved through the resurrection, which was on Sunday, to meet on that day.
2. God instructed the Jews to pay 15% tithing if using money, 10% if giving livestock or crops.
(Leviticus 27)
31 "And if a man will at all REDEEM (money) ought of his tithes, he shall ADD thereto the FIFTH part (5% more) thereof."
3. God spent around 1500 years having a Holy Temple for the Jews to perform rituals for redemption. When it was destroyed in 70 AD, there could be no more rituals...NONE.
Not that these have anything to do with SALVATION in the Age of Grace anyway.
After the Pharisees, Sadducees and "religious" hierarchy of that time sent Saul (a Pharisee) out to imprison or kill ANYONE in Jerusalem that believed Jesus was The Messiah, he finally succeeded by stoning Stephen.
He then went back to the Sadducees and was given papers to go to Damascus and drag back anyone who had fled Jerusalem.
1. If you believe it's just too preposterous that God would allow this many people to perish, remember this...GOD NEVER SAVES THE MASSES, ONLY THE REMNANTS. He threw away the ENTIRE WORLD population, save a few, not once but TWICE in less than 500 years. First with Noah and then with Abram.
Elijah once asked God "Am I the only one saved?" God answered "No. There are 7000 Prophets in Israel." The Census shows there were 7 MILLION Jews in Israel at the time. That's .1% or 1 out of 1000. And that was a good haul...
God WILL allow this. HE EVEN WARNED US.
(Matthew 24)
4. And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
5. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
This doesn't mean they claim to be Christ, it just means they claim to have God's plan of Salvation for you...which is repent and be baptised.
2. If you believe Satan doesn't have the power to deceive the whole world, remember this:
A. He has got Gentiles celebrating Christmas, the supposed birth of Jesus, which brought NO Salvation to them but to the Jews who DON'T celebrate Christmas.
B. He has us celebrate Christmas on Dec 25 when scripture clearly states that Jesus was born in the the spring. So why Dec 25? Since the Tower of Babel when "pagan" religions began, God has been trying to eliminate them. Look at the first 2 Commandments. December 25 was the biggest pagan holiday of the year...Saturnalia.
This was a drunken orgy to celebrate the year's crops.
C. To continue with his little joke, since we are saved by the resurrection, he has corrupted it by making a "special day" where if you believe in something not seen (faith), you are being tricked and will be seen as a "fool". It is called April Fools Day.
(II COR 4)
4. “In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which BELIEVE NOT, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.”
The word god is lower case. Scripture tells us Satan is the god of this world and has power over it. Satan HAS the power to trick good people to achieve his goals.
Paul brought up the "mixing" of The Gospels.
(Galatians 1)
6. I marvel that ye are so soon REMOVED FROM him that called you into the GRACE of Christ UNTO ANOTHER GOSPEL;
7. Which is NOT ANOTHER; but there be some that trouble you, and WOULD PERVERT the gospel of Christ.
(Galatians 5)
1. STAND FAST therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be NOT entangled again with the YOKE OF BONDAGE.
FOR YOU TO BE SAVED:
1. You must believe in your heart that Jesus shed His Holy blood on the cross to cleanse us of our sins, that He died and was buried, and that he was resurrected on the 3rd day.
2. You must STAND on the belief that you are saved. Your faith is counted for righteousness. FAITH ALONE. A righteous person doesn't ask forgiveness or believe they will be judged for their sins. Especially considering those saved by faith through the Gospel of Grace (The Body of Christ) will be "wed" to Jesus (The Head of The Body) at The Wedding Feast. And since we know there are people who show up and are "turned away" (not saved), this would have to be BEFORE The Judgements.
For people already in The Body of Christ to be judged would require at the very least a "divorce" from Christ.
It takes 7 seconds for a person to be saved and requires no "works" to be performed. Just ask:
"Do you believe in your heart that Jesus shed His Holy blood on the cross to cleanse us of our sins, that He died and was buried, and that he was resurrected on the 3rd day according to scripture?"
