Peace.
Religious, fleshly-minded men have supplanted God’s laws and statutes with their own list of laws and statutes that they think is true to keep…..their own handwriting of ordinances: the commandments and doctrines of men. Many serve and worship the handwriting more than they do God even though they come together as a "church" supposedly to worship God.
Every church has a handwriting of man’s ordained ordinances centered and highly exalted …revered by all… in their church gatherings. In vain do they worship Him though.
Matthew 15:8-9 KJV
(8) This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.
(9) But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
Many willingly and solemnly submit themselves to man’s handwritings of ordinances (the “principalities and powers”) which are a “replacement” of God’s commandments.
It has become a “baal” (meaning “lord, master”) as many willingly submit to the handwritings of the church scribes. They think it is “wise” in their own minds to do so.
Many serve and “worship” the handwriting of man’s ordinances more than God (the only Judge of another) as they use it as a basis for judging another who do not keep their particular church denominational decrees. In essence, it has become another “god”…another Elohim (meaning “judges”)….another JUDGE. They serve THE sin as they judge others with their handwritings.
Man’s handwriting of ordinances should not be found in the places of the worship of God. It is a “graven image” ….the work of the hands of the craftsman ….the work of the fleshly-minded church scribes.
It is an abomination found in the holy place….a place where it should not be found.
Deuteronomy 27:15 KJV
(15) Cursed be the man that maketh any graven or molten image, an abomination unto the LORD, the work of the hands of the craftsman, and putteth it in a secret place. And all the people shall answer and say, Amen.
We must understand what the abomination is: “religious” man’s handwriting of “ordinances” which are found in every church gathering.
They are used to divide us into “denominations” where we war over our respective handwritings. They are against us and contrary to us….as walls that divide us. They are the source of hostilities among us.
“Ordinance” = “Dogma” . A “dogma” is defined in ancient Greek as “what one thinks is true”.
We find a list of “dogmas”…what we believe is true….in “Statements of faith” found in every gathering...where many go and serve and worship of what they think in their own minds is the true things of God. They then use those writings of dogmas as a basis for judging others...thereby, deceived into practicing the Sin which robs them of the eternal life of Jesus as the keeping of His "daily" sacrifice is remove out of their lives whereby we must daily die to the practicing of the sin.
We go to a church were what one thinks should be done is being served in that particular church….where it is practiced and found in their handwriting. The handwriting of ordinances then becomes a judge of others who do not follow their particular list of dogmas.
We then judge others supposedly in God's authority….the practicing of THE Sin... which robs us of the manifestation of the eternal life of Jesus in our mortal flesh in this earth. We are then "dead" in our sins and the uncircumcision of our flesh as we serve the sin through the judging of others using the handwritings of dogmas.
Colossians 2:13-19 KJV
(13) And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;
But we are forgiven for these things as they are nailed to His cross. But…. we must flee this abomination when we understand what it is.
(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 church scribes have take/wrested some of God’s commandments out of the Scriptures and have placed them in their own list of decrees to serve and worship. They use their own handwritings to judge themselves and others with…thereby practicing the sin.
(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:
The handwritings of men are “images”…shadows. They are shadows of the Law. They are patterned after the world’s self-governing documents (such as constitutions). They are after the rudiments of the world...their constitutions of self-government...that do not serve our God in His government.
The body is Christ….but man seems to think he must have his own handwritings to be the head of the body of believers rather than the Head Himself.
(17) Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.
Let no man defraud you of the eternal life of Christ.
His eternal life is not found in the serving and worshipping of the handwritings of dogmas that were written by the church scribes and passed down from one generation to another. The church scribes have written their passed-down-through-generations handwriting of ordinances (the “angels” or messengers). Let no man deceive you into the willing submission...the voluntary humility....of the worship of their handwriting of dogmas.
They have trespassed/intruded into the Scriptures and have taken some of God’s commandments and placed them in their own handwritings and then claim that God commanded us to keep their handwriting of dogmas. They have changed the truth of God into the lie.
(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,
The church scribes do not hold the Head which organizes the whole body of Christ and gives it nourishment.
Their handwritings are a fabrication of their own imaginations and they are supplanting their handwritings as a replacement to following the mind of Christ with the word/commandments of man.
(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.
Let no man beguile you of your reward: the eternal life of Jesus that is to be had in this mortal body in the here-and-now.
Fleshly-minded men want to take away the keeping of the “daily sacrifice” of our Lord out of our lives in order for us to serve their handwritings where we serve the sin instead: judging others supposedly in God’s authority as their handwritings supposedly are done in.
We must die to the sin rather than be deceived into serving it by the judging of others using the handwriting of ordinances as a basis for doing so and thinking that we are serving God by doing so. There is only One Lawgiver....One Judge. We are not "as gods"...as judges for God in doing so. We do not know what is "good and evil" based on a handwriting and judge others thereby deceived into serving the Sin....being judge, jury and executioner of others supposedly in His name.
2 Corinthians 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.
We must “rise up” and go forth from their company as the eternal life of Jesus is being betrayed into the hands of sinners who are actively taking away the keeping of the “daily sacrifice” of our Lord out of our lives and replacing it with their handwritings where the sin is being served. They take the eternal life of Jesus out of our lives by having us serve and worship their handwritings....the abomination in place of the keeping of the daily sacrifice of our Lord (the Lamb slain) in our mortal bodies.
Mark 14:41-44 KJV
(41) And he cometh the third time, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: it is enough, the hour is come; behold, the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
(42) Rise up, let us go; lo, he that betrayeth me is at hand.
These are men who are following in the footsteps after Judas. They come with their “swords and staves”….their handwritings of the scribes that divide us. They come to take the keeping of the daily sacrifice out of our lives so that His eternal life does not appear in our mortal flesh. Their "staves"...wood, timber...are lifeless decrees that burn us up instead of giving us life when we eat from the tree of life (Christ).
(43) And immediately, while he yet spake, cometh Judas, one of the twelve, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders.
They flatter us with their feigned words….with a feigned kiss of the lips so to speak.
(44) And he that betrayed him had given them a token, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he; take him, and lead him away safely.
Like Judas, they come with a feigned “kiss”…. “good words and fair speeches”…. and not with honest and sincere words as they salute us.
Romans 16:16-18 KJV
(16) Salute one another with an holy kiss. The churches of Christ salute you.
They come with their “swords and staves” …their handwritings of lifeless ordinances which causes divisions among us. Their handwritings of ordinances are contrary to Christ. We must mark and avoid those who are preaching their handwritings to us instead of serving Christ. They deceive the hearts of the simple...those who forget to keep the daily sacrifice.
(17) Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.
(18) For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.
Their “jesus” is “another jesus” that they are serving and not the true Lord Jesus Christ. Their “jesus” is the “antichrist”…the instead-of the true Christ...yet they claim that their "jesus" is the true Christ.
2 Corinthians 11:3-4 KJV
(3) But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.
(4) For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.
Their “another jesus” is served through the keeping of the handwriting of ordinances(the image) ordained by the church scribes of which they serve the sin and perish from this earth without the eternal life of the true Jesus being made manifest.
Their “jesus” is a “wild beast” and not the” Lamb slain” as they war with their brand of Jesus rather than die to the sin….die to judging others. Our Jesus did not war but died to sin. He did not threaten when threatened. He did not revile when reviled.
Their “jesus” has the wound by a sword but did live….in other words, there is no more dying to sin like the “Lamb slain” teaches us to do. The daily sacrifice...the daily dying to the sin.... is healed rather than kept. The daily sacrifice is then ceased as there is no more dying to sin. The sword of the Spirit is not actively being used to mortify/deaden/kill the deeds of the body.
Revelation 13:14-15 KJV
(14) And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
The serving of their wild beast (a warring jesus: "who can make war with him"?) is done through the “image of the beast”…the keeping of the handwriting of dogmas (the image). Those who do not serve their particular handwritings are “killed” in judgment. They are deceived into serving the sin. There is no life in doing so.
(15) And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
The end of the serving of the handwriting of ordinances (the law of commandments as contained in man’s written dogmas) is death as we are being deceived into serving THE sin.
Romans 6:21-23 KJV
(21) What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.
(22) But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.
The wages of THE (definite article) Sin is the death…
(23) For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
We have a commandment to “arise” and go.
John 14:30-31 KJV
(30) Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.
(31) But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence.
We must “get out” of our churches….our “country” so-to-speak….from our “kindred”…and from our church fathers’ houses where they are serving idols….the church handwritings of ordinances.
Genesis 12:1-3 KJV
(1) Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee:
(2) And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
(3) And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
