Peace in Christ.
God …the Father of us all in Heaven….sent His Son….His ONLY begotten Son through whom we are saved.
John 3:16-18 KJV
(16) For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
(17) For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
(18) He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
It His only begotten Son (and not another “son” of the church “fathers”….a jesus barabbas) that we are to believe into so that we should not perish (mortally die) from this world but shall have an age-lasting life. “Barabbas” = “son of father”. They want us to choose their “jesus” the “son” of their church fathers.
Mat 27:16-17
(16) And they had then a notable prisoner, called Barabbas.
(17) Therefore when they were gathered together, Pilate said unto them, Whom will ye that I release unto you? (JESUS) Barabbas, or Jesus which is called Christ?
When we choose the Jesus who is the true Christ…believing into Him…we shall continue to live to the end of this age where then (at the last trump) this mortal (subject to die….meaning having not mortally died yet but liable to) shall put on immortality. We, who will not "sleep", will be changed...going from mortal to immortal.
1Co 15:51-55 KJV
(51) Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
(52) In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
We will then have completely defeated death in Him having not died mortally (we who believe into Him shall not “sleep”) throughout the remainder of this present evil age unto the moment….the “event horizon”…of the putting on of His immortality.
The last enemy to be defeated is death….and we shall have lived mortally until that moment when we achieve complete victory over death in Christ Jesus…the only begotten Son of the Father in Heaven. "Mortal"....subject to die mortal bodies....meaning we have not been put to "sleep"...that is, mortal death ...like those who have not received the true gospel of our mortal salvation.
(53) For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
(54) So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
(55) O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?
Do not let a fleshly-minded man (who has no understanding of this true gospel of salvation) disqualify you from the receiving of His age-lasting (“eternal”) life in this earth.
He is throwing up a “road block” to obtaining the age-lasting life. He is putting up a stumbling stone where we ignorantly trip over and fall into the grave.
He seeks to “spoil” you through his church handwriting which is patterned after the “rudiments” (the founding principles) of the world. The outside world has their “handwritings” ….their documents (constitutions, statutes, ordinances ,etc) which they govern and judge themselves with rather than be in God’s government.
Col 2:8 KJV
(8) Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
They…puffed up fleshly-minded men… want you to receive and serve their another jesus who is served by church “handwriting of ordinances/dogmas”. They want to lead you into bondage….and death.
But their church scribes’ handwritings are against us. They are contrary to us. They prevent us from taking hold of “eternal life”…an age-lasting life to be had in this current mortal body. They put a complete stop to obtaining an age-lasting life. We miss the mark of obtaining the prize: an age-lasting life in this world. They beguile of our reward….an age-lasting life…of worshipping their messengers…their handwritings.
Col 2:18 KJV
(18) Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,
We perish with the using up of the doctrines and commandments of men which are only graven “images”. They are “shadows”…images.
Col 2:14-17 KJV
(14) Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;
(15) And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
Man wanting to be teachers of the Law come up with their own images of the Law through their church handwritings…and they JUDGE others with them. But they are “shadows”…images.
(16) Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:
(17) Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.
A “graven image” is a church scribe’s handwriting of ordinances that is “set up”…a standing image…. in the churches of fleshly-minded men for them to serve and worship.
They use them to judge. We must get rid of these things and do God’s commandments instead and His commandments are written upon our hearts. The LORD is our “God” (Elohim)….that is, JUDGE…and not a church handwriting…..not another “god”…another judge. God and His commandments are our Judge…not a man’s handwriting.
Lev 26:1 KJV
(1) Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up any image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I am the LORD your God.
Desiring to be teachers of the Law….they do not know what they say nor what they are affirming….making stable/rigid through their handwritings…their graven images.
1Ti 1:7-11 KJV
(7) Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm.
(8) But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully;
The Law is good if it is used lawfully….for giving the knowledge of sin to those who are lawless and disobedient…..
(9) Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,
(10) For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine;
(11) According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.
We use the Law lawfully by giving the knowledge of sin to the lawless: You shall have no other “gods”…that is, JUDGES…before Him. A church scribe’s handwriting of ordinances are being used to judge others with.
Exo 20:3-5 KJV
(3) Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
They are “graven images” that are patterned after the outside world’s documents (their constitutions, their statutes, etc). We must not copy them in these things. God’s commandments are written upon our hearts and not in the handwritings of man’s ordinances of which God did not write for us to serve and worship.
(4) Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
(5) Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
