My Parable on the 23rd day of May, 2023
Hear another Parable: Several members of different Christian denominations gathered together and started murmuring, This is a new revival! This is a new revival!! “The Overcomer” is right! He is right! Paul’s utterances as recorded in the Holy Bible, were full of fallacies and rebellion against THE LAW/COMMANDMENTS OF GOD! And one man in the gathering said, I am a member of the “Mother of all Churches”, known as the Universal Church. Our denomination has standard laws that guide the behavior of all members, beginning from the Bishop of Rome to the lay faithful. No member of our religious sect, dare walk against the laws of the “Mother Church”! for the consequences are dire! And another man said:
I am a Jehovah’s witness, and our religious sect has standard laws that control the behaviour of all members. If anyone walks against our rules and regulations, he or she can be disfellowshipped as a warning, or outrightly excommunicated! And the members of other denominations spoke in the same vein: I am an Anglican, there are standard laws that govern our Church; I am a Baptist, there are standard laws that rule over our Church; And one man said, I am a member of a powerful Pentecostal Church, and our General Overseer (G.O) is a fierce prophet! No fellow dare walk against the rules and regulations of our Church or speak against our General Overseer! If anyone dares our G.O, he puts himself in trouble! And so on and so forth. Hear these provocative words which Saul used to challenge the Authority of the LAW OF GOD:
“This only I want to learn from you: Did you receive the Spirit by THE WORKS OF THE LAW, or by the hearing of faith? Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you now being made perfect by the flesh?” – Galatians 3:2-3. “KNOWING THAT A MAN IS NOT JUSTIFIED BY THE WORKS OF THE LAW but by faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ AND NOT BY THE WORKS OF THE LAW; FOR BY THE WORKS OF THE LAW NO FLESH SHALL BE JUSTIFIED. I do not set aside the grace of God; FOR IF RIGHTEOUSNESS COMES THROUGH THE LAW, THEN CHRIST DIED IN VAIN” (Galatians 2:16, 21).
Anyone who speaks against THE LAW/COMMANDMENTS OF GOD, is an enemy of Jesus Christ (the sovereign LORD), who purchased the CHURCH OF GOD with His Own Blood. Apostle Peter learnt great Wisdom from Jesus Christ 2000+ years ago. He (Peter) was a very outspoken man, whom Jesus Christ called Satan at a point (Matthew 16:21-23 refers), because he misjudged the reason behind the first advent of Jesus Christ. Peter knew that the ministry of Saul (Paul if you like) was very suspicious and questionable during the days of the Apostles; However, he applied the great knowledge, experience and wisdom which he learnt from the LORD, in criticizing some of the utterances of the so-called apostle “Paul”. Hear this from Peter:
“And consider that the longsuffering of our LORD is salvation—as also our beloved brother Paul, ACCORDING TO THE WISDOM GIVEN TO HIM, has written to you, as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things, in which ARE SOME THINGS HARD TO UNDERSTAND, which untaught and unstable people twist to their own destruction, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures. You therefore, beloved, since you know this beforehand, BEWARE LEST YOU ALSO FALL FROM YOUR OWN STEADFASTNESS, BEING LED AWAY WITH THE ERROR OF THE WICKED; BUT GROW IN THE GRACE AND KNOWLEDGE OF OUR LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST. To Him be the glory both now and forever. Amen” (2 Peter 3:15-18). Now hear the conclusion of this Parable:
The so-called “apostle” Paul, was a big Antichrist! Almost all the antichrists of this generation, are imitators of Saul’s anti-LAW ministry. “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘LORD, LORD,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in Heaven. Many will say to Me in that Day, ‘LORD, LORD, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, I never knew you; depart from Me, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS!” Matthew 7:21-23. Which type of LAWLESSNESS was the LORD talking about? Arrogance and disobedience against THE LAW/COMMANDMENTS OF GOD!
God-cum-Son
MEDITATE: “But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the LORD who bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction. AND MANY WILL FOLLOW THEIR DESTRUCTIVE WAYS, because of whom the WAY OF TRUTH WILL BE BLASPHEMED” (2 Peter 2:1-2). Where was the so-called “apostle” Paul, when Peter and the rest of the True Apostles/Followers of Jesus Christ, received the baptism of the Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost? Step up your meditation with this excerpt from my previous Message:
“When James (A True Student of the Holy Spirit) noticed that the utterances of Saul were trying to lead the brethren astray, he quickly released these Infallible Words of God to counter the corruption of the greatest rebel of all time (Saul of Tarsus):
“What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but DOES NOT HAVE WORKS? Can faith save him? But someone will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith without your works, AND I WILL SHOW YOU MY FAITH BY MY WORKS. But do you want to know, O foolish man, that FAITH WITHOUT WORKS IS DEAD? Was not Abraham our father justified by Works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar? Do you see that faith was working together with his Works, and by Works faith was made perfect?” – James 2:14, 18, 20-22″.
