Grace

We Have ALWAYS Been Under Grace

Recently we’ve had so many people tell us that we are no longer under the law, but under grace. This is a hard one to hear because our Heavenly Father has always been gracious. It seems like people think that our Savior came and died to save us from our Heavenly Father instead of our sins. Yahuah has always been gracious to His children.

Is The Book Of James Not For Us?

If you don’t believe you are an Israelite, please stop teaching and preaching the book of James like it applies to you.
James 1:1 – James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.
Stop listening to your preacher and read scripture for yourself.

false prophets

Church Says Isaiah, Abraham, Moses and other OT prophets Are False Prophets

So when I talk to “Christians” about what we believe, I almost always mention the prophets of the Old Testament and their prophecies. You can pretty much go to any prophet in the OT and see where they have mentioned either the law being forever, sabbath being forever, not eating unclean foods in the last days, etc. 99.9% of the time when I bring this up the “Christian” will tell me that Jesus’ death took all of the law, sabbath, dietary laws, etc away from us and that we are no longer under that “burden”. If this is the case, then almost every, if not all, of the OT prophets would be considered false prophets.

Let’s take a look at the biblical definition of what a false prophet is:

Deuteronomy 18:20-22: 20 But a prophet who presumes to speak in my name anything I have not commanded, or a prophet who speaks in the name of other gods, is to be put to death.” 21 You may say to yourselves, “How can we know when a message has not been spoken by the Lord?” 22 If what a prophet proclaims in the name of the Lord does not take place or come true, that is a message the Lord has not spoken. That prophet has spoken presumptuously, so do not be alarmed.

Based on the biblical definition of a false prophet, these prophets should be put to death that spoke in our Fathers name something He had not commanded. Let’s take a look at some of the prophecies of the OT and see exactly what they say to see if they should have been put to death according to today’s church religion.

Genesis 17:7-10: 7 And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee. 8 And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God. 9 And God said unto Abraham, Thou shalt keep my covenant therefore, thou, and thy seed after thee in their generations. 10 This is my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee; Every man child among you shall be circumcised.

Abraham stating circumcision is an everlasting covenant – GUILTY

Isaiah 66:15-18: 15 For, behold, the Lord will come with fire, and with his chariots like a whirlwind, to render his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire. 16 For by fire and by his sword will the Lord plead with all flesh: and the slain of the Lord shall be many. 17 They that sanctify themselves, and purify themselves in the gardens behind one tree in the midst, eating swine’s flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, shall be consumed together, saith the Lord.

So Isaiah would be considered a false prophet saying those that eat pig flesh shall be consumed when the Yeshua comes with fire. – GUILTY

Exodus 31:13-18: 13 Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily my sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am the Lord that doth sanctify you. 14 Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you: every one that defileth it shall surely be put to death: for whosoever doeth any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people. 15 Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to the Lord: whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death. 16 Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant. 17 It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed. 18 And he gave unto Moses, when he had made an end of communing with him upon mount Sinai, two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God.

Moses would now be considered a false prophet saying that our Father told him the Sabbath is a perpetual covenant. – GUILTY

Malachi 4:1-5: 4 For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the Lord of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch. 2 But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall. 3 And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the Lord of hosts. 4 Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments. 5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord:

This is the last chapter in the OT. Malachi stating in the day of Yahuah we are to remember the law of Moses – GUILTY
