Peace in Christ.
Again…and repeated again, the keeping of His “daily” sacrifice (ALWAYS bearing about in our mortal body of the dying of the Lord Jesus) manifests His life in our mortal bodies….in our mortal flesh.
This is the revealing/manifestation of the Son of man to the world of which the people of the outside world may then see Him (through us) and believe and be saved.
2Co 4:10-11 KJV
(10) Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.
(11) For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.
But right now, His life is being cut off from this earth by false prophets so that the Son of man is not being made manifest to the people of this world. The Son of man goes away from this earth ….sinking out of view…as He is being given up into the hands of sinners. Matthew 26:24 .
False prophets are actively removing the keeping of His “daily” sacrifice from those they are deceiving and are are having their congregations instead keep a man’s handwriting of church ordinances/dogmas rather than keeping His commandments which are written upon our hearts and minds. No flesh is being saved among the man-based churches as a result.
The man-based churches are serving the sin instead of dying to it and all the while they are white-washing their “wonderful works” with “Lord, Lord” and deceiving many to join along with them in their gatherings.
Mat 7:21-23 KJV
(21) Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
They are judging others supposedly in His name….that is, in His authority… with their church handwritings of ordinances being used as a basis for.
They cast out others as “devils” who do not agree with and do their works. There is only One Lawgiver…One Judge. We must not put ourselves in His sole authority as Judge by supposedly being a “judge” for Him... judging others (supposedly in His authority) according to our own "lawgiving:" our church handwritings of ordinances.
(22) Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
They work the iniquity and so do not receive the promise of His presence in their mortal flesh: "depart from me you that work the iniquity." They mortally perish instead as they work THE iniquity. Professing "Lord, Lord" will not help whatsoever if we do not do the will of the Father in Heaven. Let us not keep the will of the church fathers but only the Father in Heaven.
The wages of the sin is the death...our mortal death. That "sting" of sin comes with death....that we had all the while on this earth had been serving the sin as we were deceived by false prophets into doing so. What a "sting" that must be at that realization that we had been serving the sin all along while we were alive on this earth as we went to "church" and thought we were doing the right thing for attending their gatherings.
(23) And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Their “churches”…their earthly tabernacles…are an “image” as they are built upon their handwritings of ordinances/dogmas (their images)….such as a “statement of faith” which is by definition a handwriting of dogmas (of what one believes is true.) The churches are structured solely on their handwritings and not on what is written upon our hearts and minds.
Moses built the tabernacle according to the pattern that God show to him in the mount where the priests did serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things and not the true reality of them.
Heb 8:5 KJV
(5) Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern shewed to thee in the mount.
But what do earthly-minded men do?
They build their churches according to their images…according to their statements of faith that they wrote for themselves to self-govern and self-judge... by which the whole organization is structured.
They do not have Christ as the Head of the church as they keep and serve their fleshly-minded handwritings instead. Their whole church is an “image” built upon their handwritings. When we go to them, we submit ourselves to their "image worshipping" gatherings. We are forgiven for this...but we must depart from them and be separate from them and no longer be attached to the unclean who are continuing to worship their "idols"...their images.
Col 2:14-23 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.
The man-based churches are judging others according to the “shadow of things” to come rather than keep the reality of heavenly things that are understood with the mind of Christ. They are not the living body of Christ but a "dead body" that we must not be attached to.
(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.
The “angels”…the messengers…are Moses and the prophets. They intrude into the Scriptures (which were written by the messengers...Moses and the prophets) and incorporate the ceremonial laws of Moses into their handwritings…and then judge others with them because they thought it was "wise" to do so. They want you to humbly submit to their ceremonial worshipping of the messengers (such as Moses.)
(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,
Their churches are just “images” themselves. They are not holding the Head …the mind of Christ.
(19) And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God.
If we are dead with Christ from the “rudiments” of the world…the founding principles as written by the hand of man for self-governing and judging, why as though living in the world, are we subject to ordinances…dogmas?
Our governing writing is within our hearts where God has written them. Do not let a man bring you into the bondage of keeping and serving man’s handwritings instead of keeping and serving His commandments. Why subject ourselves to them? Why go to an image-worshipping body of people who are all doing the same thing: serving the sin rather than dying to it?
(20) Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances (DOGMAS),
(21) (Touch not; taste not; handle not;
We perish with the using of the handwritings of men. Their handwritings are commandments and doctrines of men. This is “image” worshipping when we go and keep and serve man’s handwritings by which the whole church is structured. We are to keep ourselves from "idols"...images...from man-based churches that are images themselves as they are built upon their handwritings (their images.)
(22) Which all are to perish with the using) after the commandments and doctrines of men?
(23) Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body; not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh.
