1 Pastor Scott Velain Acts Chapter 15 Part 2 The Babylonian Conspiracy Last week in part 1 of Acts chapter 15 we went through explaining the biblical and scriptural fact that Paul never taught against circumcision, and we saw that Paul and Timothy were delivering a letter to the churches concerning James judgment on the topic of Circumcision and we also saw that Paul took Timothy and circumcised him before they went to deliver the letter to the churches in Acts chapter 16 verses 3 and 4. So we know with out a doubt that the letter that Paul and Timothy were delivering concerning the judgment from James was not against circumcision, but rather it was for circumcision, but done in the proper manner. The judgment of James simply gave the new Gentile converts four things to do directly from the law of Moses, and then the new Gentile converts were to hear the law of Moses being read every 7 th Day Sabbath in the synagogues, and James knew that they would then hear and understand the importance of circumcision and they would then be moved through a circumcised heart.. to be circumcised. As we have read... circumcision was always meant to be a matter of the heart and not just the flesh. Rom 2:29 But a Jew is one inwardly, and circumcision is a matter of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the letter. His praise is not from man but from God. Here Paul is simply explaining that there must be a circumcsion of the heart before the circumcision of the flesh can be counted as anything. What Paul is trying to explain is that if your heart is not right with God your fleshly circumcision means nothing. He's not telling people not to be circumcised, and for those who think he is.. you need to read Acts chapter 21 verses 18 through 24 to better understand what Paul was and was not preaching. From the beginning circumcision has always been about the heart first! Deu 10:15 Yet the LORD set his heart in love on your fathers and chose their offspring after them, you above all peoples, as you are this day. Deu 10:16 Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no longer stubborn. 1

2 Deu 10:17 For the LORD your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great, the mighty, and the awesome God, who is not partial and takes no bribe. Deu 10:18 He executes justice for the fatherless and the widow, and loves the sojourner, giving him food and clothing. Deu 10:19 Love the sojourner, therefore, for you were sojourners in the land of Egypt. Deu 10:20 You shall fear the LORD your God. You shall serve him and hold fast to him, and by his name you shall swear. The disagreement between Paul and the circumcision group was not whether or not a new Gentile convert SHOULD be circumcised... it was about WHEN a Gentile convert should be circumcised, and Paul and James and the elders of the Jerusalem council all knew that no one could be forced to be circumcised before their heart had been circumcised.. and we took our listeners by the hand and we walked them through all of the scripture that explains these things. So once again my friends.. if you have not seen part one of our study on Acts chapter 15.. it's important that you go back and watch it in order to be armed with that biblical and scriptural knowledge before moving on here in part 2 of our study on Acts chapter 15 here today. Why Do They Want You To Believe That Circumcision Is No Longer Required? With all of that being said.. I want us to understand why today's modern day Christian denominational charters of men want us to believe that Paul was teaching and preaching against circumcision. Today's Christian Academia wants us to believe that Paul was preaching against circumcision because they want us to believe that all of Gods laws are all nailed to some tree somewhere because their Jesus fulfilled them all so you don't have to be bothered with them. They want us to believe that our Messiah Yahshua Hamashiach, Jesus Christ came to teach and preach his own set of laws, his own holidays, his own Sabbaths, his own precepts, and his own appointments. They want us to believe in their Christ-Mass, their Good Friday, their Easter, their Advent, their Lent, their Valentines Day, and their Halloween (also known as All Saints Day ) and all the rest of their man made, man created, man fabricated rituals, tradistions, myiths, and holiday's that are found no where in our Bibles. They want us to ignore the very day that all four gospels... Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, all proclaim that our Messiah died... on Passover day... and they want us to trade the very anniversary of the death of our Messiah for their man made, man created, man fabricated Good Friday not found anywhere in scripture. 2

3 They want us to ignore the 4 th commandment in the decologe (also known as the ten commandments) that our Father in Heaven commands us to REMEMBER his Sabbath.. the 7 th Day Sabbath... that he said would be a sign between him and his people, and a perpetual agreement for all generations for ever... not just until his son comes (and you can find those verses in Exodus chapter 31 verses 13 through 16 for those of you have never heard such a thing before because you've been programmed not to read the first half of your Bibles). They want us to ignore the fact that our own Messiah told us with his own tongue, his own breath, and in his own red letter words that Heaven and Earth would pass away before one crossing of T or dotting of an i would pass from his Fathers law in Matthew chapter 5 verses 17 and 18. They want us to ignore that fact that our Messiah was with out sin and always followed his Fathers law, commandments, and precepts, and they want us to ignore the fact that he always kept his Fathers 7 th Day Sabbath. They want us to ignore the fact that it is written in 1 st John chapter 2 verse 6 that whoever says he abides in him ought to walk in the same way in which he walked. They want us to ignore the fact that even their beloved Paul who they place even above their own Messiah openly said... that we do not nullify the law of God by our faith... on the contrary... we uphold the law in Romans chapter 3 verse 31. They want us to ignore the fact that even Paul said that The law is holy, the commandment is holy, and righteous and good in Romans chapter 7 verse 12. They want us to ignore the fact that The law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple; The precepts of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes; The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever; the rules of the LORD are true, and righteous altogether. More to be desired are they than gold, even much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and drippings of the honeycomb. Moreover, by them is your servant warned; in keeping them there is great reward. According to Psalms chapter 19 verses 7 through 10. It doesn't sound like our Fathers servant David thought of Gods law as a curse or as bondage does it? No.. it certainly does not, and for anyone who thinks that Gods law is a curse and bondage I would urge you to go read Psalms 119 in it's entirety. 3

4 They would have us believe that their beloved Paul was preaching against his own Messiah who clearly proclaimed with his own breath, his own tongue, and his own red letter words that he did not come to preach his own message... but his Fathers message Joh 7:16 So Jesus answered them, "My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me. Joh 7:17 If anyone's will is to do God's will, he will know whether the teaching is from God or whether I am speaking on my own authority. Joh 7:18 The one who speaks on his own authority seeks his own glory; but the one who seeks the glory of him who sent him is true, and in him there is no falsehood. And yet today's modern day version of Christianity and its academic leadership schooled in the teachings and doctrines of men, would have us believe that all of these scriptures and quotes that come directly from our Messiah and his Apostles are nothing more that lies, and Tom foolery. You see they can't allow you to see... to know... and to understand that Paul always lived in obedience to the law just as James the brother of our Messiah tells us in Acts chapter 21 verse 24. They can't allow you to see... to know.. and to understand that Paul never preached against circumcision in Acts chapter 15 or anywhere else in the Word of God. He simply preached against a man being forced to be circumcised before his heart was circumcised. With out Faith in the Messiah my friends.. your circumcision is of no effect... even for the Jew. You see if they allow you to see that circumcision is indeed still commanded by the Father.. they know that you and your children would then be able to see.. and to know.. and to understand that none of our Fathers laws, commandments, precepts, Sabbaths, or appointments have been done away with by his son. His son Yahshua Hamashiach, Jesus of Nazareth came to do away with the penalty of the law which was death... not the law itself. Nowhere in your bible or in any scripture will you find it said that Yahshua, Jesus did away with his Fathers laws, commandments, precepts, Sabbaths, or his appointments. No where. And if they allow you to see... know... and understand that Paul never preached against circumcision... they know that it won't be long before you see... know... and understand that none of his laws have been nailed to some tree somewhere.. and this is why it's so critical for them to preach against the truth of what Paul taught concerning circumcision in Acts chapter 15. Some might say it's a conspiracy.. and of all the things that today's culture calls conspiracy... I would have to agree my friends one hundred percent!... that this false man made, man created, man fabricated dispensational doctrine that does away with our Fathers laws, commandments, 4

5 precepts, Sabbaths, and appointments is exactly that... a conspiracy. It's a conspiracy against you and your children and your childrens children, designed to keep you away from the things of your Father whom we are commanded to love with all of our heart, mind, and strength They would have you turn away from the things of the one true God of Abraham, Issac, and Jacob... they would have you turn away from his commandments, his precepts, his laws, his feast days, his Sabbaths, and his appointments... they would even have you and your children turn away from the very anniversary of the death of you own Messiah who died on Passover Day according to all four Gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. A Conspiracy is exactly what it is my friends.. and you and your children deserve to know the truth. And you deserve to know that this wicked and evil Conspiracy comes from that one flesh and bone man who wraps himself in pagan vestments and sits upon a golden thrown demanding that the world bow down and kiss his golden ring while proclaiming to be.. God on earth. His Jesuit Priests have infiltrated today's so called Protestant churches, and taught them the ways of the god of this world.. rather than the ways of the one true God of Abraham, Issac, and Jacob. 5

6 And the world bows down before him and his Protestant daughter churches making void the Word of God in order to hold on to their own traditions, just like the Pharisees of our Messiah's time had done (read Matthew chapter 23). And this is the very reason that today's modern day Christian church sleeps in the face of adversity while her brothers and sisters around the world are having their heads cut off, and their women and wives raped to death, and their families torn to shreds, and their children baked alive in ovens as the so called churches in America sit silent in their slumber. Oh we don't want to hear about those things in today's churches... not in today's country club churches.. certainly not. You see it's all about the ball game, American Idol, and trading recipes. Some of us are well aware of what they have converted our churches into.. and yet so many still slumber in the sleep of willful ignorance. But the day is coming my friends.. when the church will be held accountable, and many will be surprised at how many will not even be included in what God sees as... his church. He's given us a warning.. but few modern day professing Christians have ever even heard of it. Rev 18:2 And he called out with a mighty voice, "Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great! She has become a dwelling place for demons, a haunt for every unclean spirit, a haunt for every unclean bird, a haunt for every unclean and detestable beast. Rev 18:3 For all nations have drunk the wine of the passion of her sexual immorality, and the kings of the earth have committed immorality with her, and the merchants of the earth have grown rich from the power of her luxurious living." Rev 18:4 Then I heard another voice from heaven saying, "Come out of her, my people, lest you take part in her sins, lest you share in her plagues; Rev 18:5 for her sins are heaped high as heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities. Rev 18:6 Pay her back as she herself has paid back others, and repay her double for her deeds; mix a double portion for her in the cup she mixed. Rev 18:7 As she glorified herself and lived in luxury, so give her a like measure of torment and mourning, since in her heart she says, 'I sit as a queen, I am no widow, and mourning I shall never see.' Rev 18:8 For this reason her plagues will come in a single day, death and mourning and famine, and she will be burned up with fire; for mighty is the Lord God who has judged her." Rev 18:9 And the kings of the earth, who committed sexual immorality and lived in luxury with her, will weep and wail over her when they see the smoke of her burning. Many people believe that this Babylon is the great United States who has taken after the teachings of the Roman Catholic Pope and her hybrid Pagan religion. 6

7 The great United States.. who has become just as evil and just as lost at Catholicism when it comes to the truth of Gods Word. Many will say that the United States has spread Christianity around the world but is this true my friends? Has the Untied States of America sent out her missionaries preaching the actual true Word of God.. or have we spread the demonically inspired Pagan hybrid religion of Catholicism around the world, with her Christ-Mass, Good Friday, and her Easter, and her Advent, and her Lent, and her Pagan 1 st day of the week Sunday Sabbath? What is it exactly... that we have spread around the world? Have we preached the truth of Gods Word as preached by the Apostles written in the scriptures.. or have we preached half lies... and half truths, and a hybrid religious system created by dispensationalism, ones saved always saved, and a do as thou wilt is the whole of the law hybrid religious system created by the pagan teachings of Catholicism and her earthly anti Christ king that they call.. The Vicar or Replacment of Christ? A she or a Woman in the bible is always the representation of a church, just like water represents people, heads, horns, and beasts represent nations, kings, and religious systems. You see the reason that they want you to believe that Paul preached against circumcision runs much deeper than most of us realize. To say that Paul preached against circumcision is to say that Paul preached against the laws of God found in the books of Genisis, Exodus, Numbers, Leviticus, and teachings of the prophets. And yet even many who are coming back to the truth of Gods written Word will still try to proclaim that the argument of circumcision found in Acts chapter 15 is really an argument about ritual purity and the Jewish Halikah.. even though it's clearly written that all Gentile Sojourners were to be circumcised in Exodus chapter 12 verse 48, and in the book of Numbers and in other places in the Torah as well. Once again trying to proclaim that Jesus came to change the crossing of a T and the dotting of an i of his fathers written Word.. that he said he did not come to change until Heaven and Earth pass away is blasphemous on it's face.. and we know that none of that happens until Revelation chapter 21 verse 1. But that's not what they would have you and your children believe. They would have you believe that our Messiah didn't know what he was talking about, and that he fulfilled all of his Fathers laws so you don't have to be bothered with them.. even though that's not at all what the scripture says.. that's what man says. We spoke a little bit about the Yoke that Peter talks about in Acts Chapter 15 verse 10, but I'd like to spend just a little more time explaining exactly how the Jewish believers back in those 7

8 days would have understood the Yoke that Peter was talking about. Act 15:10 Now, therefore, why are you putting God to the test by placing a yoke on the neck of the disciples that neither our fathers nor we have been able to bear? Last week we took a look at Romans chapter 9 and I'd like to revisit that scripture just to resolidify what we already know to be true. Rom 9:30 What shall we say, then? That Gentiles who did not pursue righteousness have attained it, that is, a righteousness that is by faith; Rom 9:31 but that Israel who pursued a law that would lead to righteousness did not succeed in reaching that law. Rom 9:32 Why? Because they did not pursue it by faith, but as if it were based on works. They have stumbled over the stumbling stone, The Yoke that Peter was talking about was a burden. It was something that their fathers could not bear.. what was that burden? It was the Law of God?... and why was it a Yoke that they could not bear? The reason it was a yoke that their fathers could not bear was because they were pursuing the law by works.. and not by faith. They were keeping the law because they saw it as a way to earn their way into the gates of Heaven instead of wanting to keep the law because of the love that they had for their Father. To them it was work, and it was a burden, and the reason why it was work and a burden was because they had no idea how important the law was or why their Father wanted them to keep it. They didn't understand the law the way David understood the law of his Father that he wrote about in Psalms chapter 119 (anyone who believes that the law of God is a curse and bondage because some man told them it was.. needs to read Psalms chapter 119). Once they understood that the law was there to protect them, and to keep them from sin and diseases and famine and plague.. and that keeping the law was to be done because they loved their Father, not to earn anything.. then the burden of the law was broken. The law then stopped becoming a burden to them... and started to become a way of life. The law that would have lead them to righteousness (as Paul tells us in Romans 9:31) was not attained because they pursued it as though it was based on works, and they did not pursue it as though it was based on the faith and love that they had for their Father.. Once again... this is according the Apostle Paul in Romans chapter 9 verses 30 through 32. 8

9 1Jn 5:2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and obey his commandments. 1Jn 5:3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome. What did our Messiah say his Yoke was like? Mat 11:25 At that time Jesus declared, "I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding and revealed them to little children; Mat 11:26 yes, Father, for such was your gracious will. Mat 11:27 All things have been handed over to me by my Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal him. Mat 11:28 Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Mat 11:29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. Mat 11:30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light." According to our Messiah.. his Father has hidden the truth of his Word from the wise and understanding.. and has revealed them to little children because it was his gracious will.. remember this because we're gong to come back to this scripture in just a moment. And our Messiah goes on to say that his yoke is easy and his burden is light.. why? His yoke is easy and his burden is light because all we have to do is to walk as he walked and if we will do this.. he will take care of all of our needs and worries. All we need to do is to have faith in him, and walk as he walked.. not as men would have us walk... but as our messiah walked.. in obedience to his Fathers commandmentsl.. not to be saved.. but because we love him. Just as our Messiah has already told us here in this scripture.. our Father has hidden the truth of his Word from the wise and those who claim to have understanding.. and he has revealed them to those of us who are as little children... who simply read the scripture for ourselves and ask him for the discernment to understand.. and not men. Who is it that is to teach us his Word and his Gospel is it his Ruach Hakodesh (his Holy Spirit) or is it men... according to scripture? Mat 23:8 But you are not to be called rabbi, for you have one teacher, and you are all brothers. Mat 23:9 And call no man your father on earth, for you have one Father, who is in heaven. 9

10 Mat 23:10 Neither be called instructors, for you have one instructor, the Christ. Excuse me... who does our Messiah say is the instructor? Does he say that men are our instructors? Does he say that the Pope is our instructor? Does he say it's your Pastor, your Priest, your Bishop, or your pagan Pope? No he does not! Joh 14:23 Jesus answered him, "If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him. Joh 14:24 Whoever does not love me does not keep my words. And the word that you hear is not mine but the Father's who sent me. Joh 14:25 "These things I have spoken to you while I am still with you. Joh 14:26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you. Joh 14:27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. Our Messiah says it's him.. the Christ also known as the Messiah, his Ruach Hakodesh (his Holy Spirit) the son of the one true God of Abraham, Issac, and Jacob and no other. And yet all day long we are lead astray by those we call Rabbi or Father or our Professors who stand in today's bible schools and seminaries proclaiming that they have been given the truth of Gods Word.. but who does our Messiah say has the truth of his Word?.. he says it's the children of God according to Matthew 11:25. According to Matthew chapter 11 verse 25 God has hidden his Word from the wise and those who claim to have understanding! We were warned against this.. and we were told how to know who these false teachers are. 1Jn 2:4 Whoever says "I know him" but does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him, 1Jn 2:5 but whoever keeps his word, in him truly the love of God is perfected. By this we may know that we are in him: 1Jn 2:6 whoever says he abides in him ought to walk in the same way in which he walked. But do we listen? Do we take hold of what our Messiah says, and do we test these men to see if they themselves are obeying the scriptures as they are written? Do they keep the 7 th day Sabbath of God the Father or are they keeping the Catholic created 1 st day of the week Sunday Sabbath.. not commanded by any Apostle, not by any High Priest, not by any Prophet, not commanded by the Ruach Hakodesh, not commanded by the son, and certainly not commanded by the Father anywhere in scripture!!?? Which Sabbath do they keep?... Gods or mans? 10

11 Do they keep the Passover.. the day that all four gospels Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John all tell us that our Messiah died on... or do they keep the Catholic created man made, man created, man fabricated Good Friday of the Catholic Pope? And if they're not keeping his commandments then why are we listening to them? Let me ask you this my friends.. who was that had more faith than anyone else in Israel according to our Messiah? Who was it that had more faith than anyone else in all of Israel according to our own Messiah...do you remember? Was it the Pastors, Priests, Bishops, or Popish leaders among the Jews? Was it the Pharisees that ran the Synagogues, or the Scribes, or the Sadducee's that ran the Temple?... was it the High Priests that they themselves had appointed to be High Priests? Do you remember who it was that our Messiah said had the most faith out of all of Israel? Luk 7:6 And Jesus went with them. When he was not far from the house, the centurion sent friends, saying to him, "Lord, do not trouble yourself, for I am not worthy to have you come under my roof. Luk 7:7 Therefore I did not presume to come to you. But say the word, and let my servant be healed. Luk 7:8 For I too am a man set under authority, with soldiers under me: and I say to one, 'Go,' and he goes; and to another, 'Come,' and he comes; and to my servant, 'Do this,' and he does it." Luk 7:9 When Jesus heard these things, he marveled at him, and turning to the crowd that followed him, said, "I tell you, not even in Israel have I found such faith." A Gentile.. Roman... Centurion... a man of war... this man.. had more faith than anyone that our Messiah found in all of Israel. And I want you to think about this before you buy into what your denominational charter of men is trying to sell you. I want you to think about this before you buy into the false man made, man create, man fabricated rituals, and traditions, and myths, and holidays created by men. I want you to think about this before you buy into the 1 st day of the week Sunday Sabbath found no where in your bible, I want you to think about this before you buy into the lie of dispensationalism, once saved always saved, and a per-tribulation rescue. I want you to think about this before you buy your next set of DVD'S that's going to tell you 11

12 how the world is going to end, or before you buy the next book that's going to proclaim when the next man made, man created, man fabricated per-tribulation rescue is going to be... or before you go to the next Tim Lahaye movie that's been prepared to indoctrinate you and your children into believing some false man made, man created, man fabricated doctrine of demons that's going to disappoint you and leave you broken and with out your faith when it never comes to pass. It was a Gentile, Roman Centurion that had more faith than our Messiah had ever seen in all of Israel. God chooses who will lead his people... not man. God chose and 8 year old boy by the name of David to be the King of Israel, and to be the direct descendant of our Messiah, who would rule as King forever over Gods people. God chose Moses who stuttered and could barely speak to go rescue his children from Pharaoh in Egypt.. God chose Rahab a prostitute to save the Israelite spy's who came to take over Jericho, and both Gentile women Rahab and Ruth... became direct descendants of our Messiah Yahshau Jesus.. Both this Gentile prostitute and her offspring Ruth.. are in the direct blood line of our Messiah Yahshua Hamashiach, Jesus Christ. God chose Matthew a Roman tax collector to be an Apostle of his only begotten son. God our Father chooses who he wills not who men will. God calls out his prophets from among his people not men. God says who his High Priest's are going to be not men, God says who prophesy's his Word.. not men, Men do not just decide that their going to be a Pastor and go sit in some school in front of some professor.. and then proclaim to be Pastors. God decides who will pastor his people not men. God decides who his shepherds will be.. not men. It doesn't work that way, it never has, and it never will. A man that does not truly love God.. is not a man of God.. and a man who truly does loves God.. will be keeping his commandments not mans commandments. 1Jn 2:3 And by this we know that we have come to know him, if we keep his commandments. 1Jn 2:4 Whoever says "I know him" but does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him, 12

13 1Jn 2:5 but whoever keeps his word, in him truly the love of God is perfected. By this we may know that we are in him: 1Jn 2:6 whoever says he abides in him ought to walk in the same way in which he walked. It's plane, it's simple, and it's easy to understand.. even a child could understand who is and who is not a man of God according to the scripture. In the end.. the yoke that Peters Fathers could not bear was a yoke of works, and not a yoke of love, and to many of today's denominational charters of men are trying to put upon you and your children a yoke of works not created by God... but created by men. Their man made, man created, man fabricated yoke is a yoke that can not, and does not save.. nor does it advocate loving the Father will all of your heart, mind, and soul.. nor does it teach obedience to the commandments of our Father.. nor does it teach discernment, endurance, or the fear of God which is the beginning of wisdom. Their man made, man created, man fabricated yoke is a burdensome yoke that teaches that Jesus is a replacement of his Father.. and that their Jesus came to preach and teach his own Sabbaths, his own rituals, his own traditions, his own holidays, and his own pagan myths. Their man made, man created, man fabricated yoke is a burden that brings people low and robs them of the joy, and peace that the true Ruach Hakodesh of God and our Messiah brings. Their yoke is a yoke that separates God from his people and replaces his life giving perfect, holy law, that protects us from sin.. with their own hybrid pagan religion of vanity, pride, arrogance, and pomp and pageantry. For those of us who truly love our Father with all of our heart, mind and strength we know that the love of God is that we keep his commandments and his commandments are not a burden to us. Our Messiah's yoke is indeed light, and easy because all we have to do is to follow him, and to walk as he walked obeying our Fathers commandments through the faith that we have been given.. just as he did. And we know that it is not a burden or to hard for us to do according to the scriptures of our Father: Deu 30:11 "For this commandment that I command you today is not too hard for you, neither is it far off. Deu 30:12 It is not in heaven, that you should say, 'Who will ascend to heaven for us and bring it to us, that we may hear it and do it?' Deu 30:13 Neither is it beyond the sea, that you should say, 'Who will go over the sea for us and bring it to us, that we may hear it and do it?' 13

14 Deu 30:14 But the word is very near you. It is in your mouth and in your heart, so that you can do it. Deu 30:15 "See, I have set before you today life and good, death and evil. Do not let them lie to you my friends... pick up your cross, and walk as our Messiah walked in obedience to all of our Fathers commandments... he was indeed with out sin and what is the biblical definition of sin again by the way? KJV 1Jn 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. Know that the reason that they want you to believe that Paul preached against circumcision in Acts chapter 15 is because they want you to believe that his law has been done away with, because if they can get you to believe that Gods law has been done away with.. then they have destroyed everything that our Messiah came to preach and to teach. The Bible says that sin is the transgression of Gods Law.. so if the law has been abolished then there is no sin. And if you do away with sin you don't need grace do you? And if you don't need grace you don't need a savior do you? And if you don't need a savior you don't need the Gospel do you? And if you don't need the Gospel.. you don't need a Preacher? And if you don't need a Preacher then you don't need a Church? And so you have there by destroyed everything that God is.. and that God stands for. And this is why they preach against the law of God. It is a wicked demonically inspired doctrine of demons that comes directly from the god of this world, and not from the one true God of Abraham, Issac, and Jacob. I will leave you with this 3 minute video done by a brother by the name of C.D. Brooks that will once again explain why Gods law is so important, but before I do... let me pray that the face of Yahovah God would shine upon you and that his hand would be upon you and your children, and that he would grant you his discernment and his endurance upon you so that you... can rightfully contend for the faith! 14
