We are the offspring of God and not the other way around.

He is not our teachings and commandments of men scribed by the church scribes for us to keep. He is not the work of our hands….the handwriting of church dogmas that many serve and worship instead of the true God. The work of our hands is not “God”. The handwriting of church dogmas are “another god” that cannot save. We must not serve and worship the product of our own hands and imaginations but serve the true God in truth and spirit.

Acts 17:27-32 KJV
(27) That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:
(28) For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.


God is not the gain that men unjustly receive in their churches (men supposing that gain is godliness).

He is not the handwriting of rigid dogmas…..the stone graven by art and man’s own imagination. He is not the “graven images” of man’s handwriting. He is not the graven image ( money) that has man’s image upon it. There should be NO GRAVEN IMAGE in our worship of the true God.

(29) Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device.

He commands all to repent and change our minds about those things we do in our ignorance….the keeping of the doctrines and commandments of men (the handwriting of ordinances that is not saving the mortal flesh of anyone).

(30) And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:
(31) Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.


If Jesus is truly risen now from the dead, then we are to have His risen life now in this earth and not after we “die and go to heaven” that is being preached in ignorance of the good news of our Lord and Savior. Men have no understanding because they “serve” in their churches for their own belly (preaching the doctrines of men for money’s sake in order to get their earthly needs met).

(32) And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked: and others said, We will hear thee again of this matter.

Some will not want to hear the knowledge of our Lord Jesus being made manifest to their ears. To those who perish (perishing away in the mortal bodies to the grave), it will be a “savor of death unto death”. They will not want to cease getting unjust gain from their deceptive handling of the Word of God.

2 Corinthians 2:14-17 KJV
(14) Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.
(15) For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish:
(16) To the one we are the savour of death unto death; and to the other the savour of life unto life. And who is sufficient for these things?


MANY “corrupt”…that is, RETAIL…the Word of God. They handle the Word of God deceptively in order to get unjust gain….the wages of unrighteousness (as they hide the covetousness within their hearts with flattering words).

They will not want to hear the Word spoken in truth and sincerity…spoken in the sight of God in Christ….because that means giving up the money they receive from “preaching”…the retailing of the Word of God.

(17) For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.

Professing themselves as “wise”, men exchange the glory of God that is due Him from ALL nations for the image made like corruptible man….MONEY that has the image of man upon it. Whose image is upon money? MAN'S image.

His house should be called of ALL NATIONS the “house of prayer” and not a “den of thieves”. The nations of this world are supposed to see us…His people…and praise God in Heaven. We are to be a house of prayer that the nations see and praise and glorify God.

Instead, they see a “den of thieves” and blaspheme His Holy Name and His dwelling place. The nations of the world see the preaching for money inside the churches of men and the making merchandise of the sheep and are speaking evil. We must not be partakers with the world in this for their evil words are “sacrifices” to devils and not to God. We are causing the world's blasphemy of Him and of the good news.

Mark 11:15-17 KJV
(15) And they come to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves;
(16) And would not suffer that any man should carry any vessel through the temple.
(17) And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves.


The “moneychangers” exchange the glory of God that is due to Him from all nations for money….and the rest of the world blasphemes His Holy Name because of what they see going on inside the churches of men. The moneychangers do not care that the world blasphemes His Holy Name because they are "thieves" and thieves don't care what the world thinks. They are too busy exchanging His glory that is due Him from all nations for money.

Men “serve” in the churches only for their own belly rather than serve our Lord and so cannot understand the Scriptures nor the good news of the eternal life of Jesus that is supposed to be made manifest in our mortal flesh in the here-and-now.

Romans 1:
(21) Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
(22) Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
(23) And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.


We must not sit together with those who are called “brothers” but are covetous as they defile our mortal flesh. They are minding earthly things only: what to eat, what to drink, what to wear…as they “preach” for these things and perish. We become “one flesh” with them in their destruction if we sit with them.

(24) Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:

We MUST NOT keep company with those who are called “brothers” but are covetous as they preach for money…. that has man’s image upon it.

1 Corinthians 5:9-13 KJV
(9) I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators:
(10) Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world.


Such a one we are not to eat with. Covetousness = idolatry. “Fornication” = keeping company with them as we attach our mortal bodies to those who preach things that they ought not be for money’s sake.

We must not be joined together with a “harlot” or we become one mortal flesh with them…. “Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves”.

(11) But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.

How many in the churches of men are busy judging those outside in the world when they should be looking at who they are keeping company with inside their churches. God judges those in the outside world....why are the churches of men doing it?

(12) For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within?
(13) But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.


Their (false apostles) end is destruction and their god is their own belly and their glory is in their shame as they mind earthly things: what to eat, what to drink, what to wear. They are falsely sent even though they claim to come in the name (authority) of Christ. They come in their own authority and not His. They preach themselves.

Philippians 3:18-19 KJV
(18) (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ:
(19) Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)


We must not eat with them…must not keep company with them…as they seek after earthly things (serving for their own belly to feed with the earthly necessities).

Leviticus 11:41-44 KJV
(41) And every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth shall be an abomination; it shall not be eaten.

They seek only the earthly things as they “preach” for their earthly necessities. They “go upon the belly” after those things of the earth and are not serving our Lord and Savior. They go after the “creeping things” of the earth.

(42) Whatsoever goeth upon the belly, and whatsoever goeth upon all four, or whatsoever hath more feet among all creeping things that creep upon the earth, them ye shall not eat; for they are an abomination.

We are not to defile ourselves with those "brothers" who seek earthly things in their churches….creeping upon the earth. God gives them up to dishonor their mortal bodies among themselves.

(43) Ye shall not make yourselves abominable with any creeping thing that creepeth, neither shall ye make yourselves unclean with them, that ye should be defiled thereby.

We must NOT sit with them and defile our mortal bodies with them as they “creep upon the earth”…preaching for money in order to get their earthly needs met.

(44) For I am the LORD your God: ye shall therefore sanctify yourselves, and ye shall be holy; for I am holy: neither shall ye defile yourselves with any manner of creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

We must not be attached to their churches….committing “fornication”.

1 Corinthians 6:15-20 KJV
(15) Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid.
(16) What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh.
(17) But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.


We are to FLEE “fornication” for we sin against our own mortal body when we sit together them in their churches. We must glorify God in our mortal body (which is the temple of the Holy Spirit) and come out from among them and be separate.

(18) Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.
(19) What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
(20) For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.


We know what commandments the apostles of the Lord Jesus gave us. We know what we received of them so we ought to walk and pleas God. We shall not lack anything if we obey.

1 Thessalonians 4:1-3 KJV
(1) Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, so ye would abound more and more.
(2) For ye know what commandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus.


We must abstain from “fornication”….the sitting with those who are not following after the transmission of the apostles of the Lord.

(3) For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:

They command us to withdraw ourselves from every “BROTHER” who walks “disorderly” and not after the tradition (transmission…command) received from the apostles of Christ.

2 Thessalonians 3:6-13 KJV
(6) Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of us.
(7) For yourselves know how ye ought to follow us: for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you;


The true apostles of Christ worked with their own hands to support their own earthly necessities so as not to be “chargeable” to any.

(8) Neither did we eat any man's bread for nought; but wrought with labour and travail night and day, that we might not be chargeable to any of you:

They…the true apostles of Christ… made themselves the example to us to follow after. We must work with our hands at our own jobs outside of the church in order to support our earthly necessities so that we may truly understand His Word and speak it in truth and sincerity. The world also with its weak conscience will not have opportunity to speak evil of His name if we do.

We must not be preaching for pay but work with our own hands. Paul was a tentmaker. Jesus was a carpenter (one who works with his own hands). The apostles of Christ did forgo this power to receive money for preaching and we are expected…commanded…to follow their example.

(9) Not because we have not power, but to make ourselves an ensample unto you to follow us.
(10) For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he e
at.

The men who will not cease from their preaching for money…exchanging the glory of God that is due Him from all nations…are walking “disorderly” and not after the command of the Lord by His apostles who showed us “all things” how that we should support our necessities.

Those who are not walking after their example of working with their own hands for their own earthly necessities are busy not doing anything of value for they have NO UNDERSTANDING of the Word of God and are not “feeding” anyone with their preaching.

They are to hear the command and be "quiet" and not resist with their evil contention of what they hear the Spirit saying. They are commanded to work with their own hands and eat their OWN BREAD.

(11) For we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies.
(12) Now them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread.
(13) But ye, brethren, be not weary in well doing.


Paul coveted after no man’s “silver, or gold or apparel” as he worked with his own hands to minister unto his own necessities.

Acts 20:32-35 KJV
(32) And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.
(33) I have coveted no man's silver, or gold, or apparel.
(34) Yea, ye yourselves know, that these hands have ministered unto my necessities, and to them that were with m
e.


We must be with him in this….laboring with our own hands for our own necessities. This supports the “weak” minds…their weak consciences… of the world who will have nothing to blaspheme when they see us working with our own hands to support ourselves. They blaspheme when they see us preaching for pay and handling the Word of God deceitfully and making merchandise of the sheep and going after the earthly things.

(35) I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.

We must be with Paul in this….be “followers together of me”. We must work with our own hands to support our own earthly necessities just as he did.

Philippians 3:17-21 KJV
(17) Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample.


For MANY WALK (walking “disorderly) as the enemies of the cross of Christ by not working with their own hands and because of this they have no understanding of the good news of the eternal life of our Lord who shall change our humiliated mortal bodies to be fashioned like His glorious body.

(18) (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ:
(19) Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)


They are not looking for this in the here-and-now and are perishing without understanding….and without His life appearing in their mortal flesh which would give them His eternal life in this earth.

(20) For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:
(21) Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.


We must renounce the hidden things of dishonesty, not WALKING in craftiness nor handling the Word of God deceitfully so as to commend ourselves TO EVERY MAN’s CONSCIENCE IN THE SIGHT OF GOD. All nations are to see us working with our own hands and so not give them a chance to speak evil of what they see. there are many "weak" consciences in the world that speak evil because they see preachers busy collecting money.

2 Corinthians 4:1-5 KJV
(1) Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not;
(2) But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.


The gospel is hid to those who are PERISHING (not “lost”..but perishing). The god of this world (the belly) blinds their minds to the good news of Christ and they are not preaching the Word in truth and sincerity.

(3) But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
(4) In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
(5) For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake.


GIVE NONE OFFENCE…to the nations…by not seeking our own profit in church but the profit of many so that they may be saved. The nations speak evil of us when we are seeking our own profit in the churches of men.

1 Corinthians 10:32-33 KJV
(32) Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God:
(33) Even as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved.


Why should I be judged by another man’s conscience….his weak conscience? If we work with our own hands to support ourselves, then they have no opportunity to speak evil. The nations “sacrifice” their evil words to devils and not to God when they see us preaching for pay and making merchandise of the sheep. We must NOT have fellowship with devils. We must not cause His name to be blasphemed among the nations of the world because of the retailing of the Word of God. The Word of God must have free course in this world. We cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of devils. We have become the source of the nations’ “sacrifices” to devils as they speak evil of His Holy Name because of us.

1 Corinthians 10:19-33 KJV
(19) What say I then? that the idol is any thing, or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing?
(20) But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils.
(21) Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils.
(22) Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he?
(23) All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.
(24) Let no man seek his own, but every man another's wealth.
(25) Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, that eat, asking no question for conscience sake:
(26) For the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof.
(27) If any of them that believe not bid you to a feast, and ye be disposed to go; whatsoever is set before you, eat, asking no question for conscience sake.
(28) But if any man say unto you, This is offered in sacrifice unto idols, eat not for his sake that shewed it, and for conscience sake: for the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof:
(29) Conscience, I say, not thine own, but of the other: for why is my liberty judged of another man's conscience?
(30) For if I by grace be a partaker, why am I evil spoken of for that fo
r which I give thanks?
(31) Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.
(32) Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God:
(33) Even as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved.

(19) What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
(20) For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.


We know what commandments the apostles of the Lord Jesus gave us. We know what we received of them so we ought to walk and pleas God. We shall not lack anything if we obey.

1 Thessalonians 4:1-3 KJV
(1) Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, so ye would abound more and more.
(2) For ye know what commandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus.


We must abstain from “fornication”….the sitting with those who are not following after the transmission of the apostles of the Lord.

(3) For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:

They command us to withdraw ourselves from every “BROTHER” who walks “disorderly” and not after the tradition (transmission…command) received from the apostles of Christ.

2 Thessalonians 3:6-13 KJV
(6) Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of us.
(7) For yourselves know how ye ought to follow us: for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you;


The true apostles of Christ worked with their own hands to support their own earthly necessities so as not to be “chargeable” to any.

(8) Neither did we eat any man's bread for nought; but wrought with labour and travail night and day, that we might not be chargeable to any of you:

They…the true apostles of Christ… made themselves the example to us to follow after. We must work with our hands at our own jobs outside of the church in order to support our earthly necessities so that we may truly understand His Word and speak it in truth and sincerity. The world also with its weak conscience will not have opportunity to speak evil of His name if we do.

We must not be preaching for pay but work with our own hands. Paul was a tentmaker. Jesus was a carpenter (one who works with his own hands). The apostles of Christ did forgo this power to receive money for preaching and we are expected…commanded…to follow their example.

(9) Not because we have not power, but to make ourselves an ensample unto you to follow us.
(10) For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he e
at.

The men who will not cease from their preaching for money…exchanging the glory of God that is due Him from all nations…are walking “disorderly” and not after the command of the Lord by His apostles who showed us “all things” how that we should support our necessities.

Those who are not walking after their example of working with their own hands for their own earthly necessities are busy not doing anything of value for they have NO UNDERSTANDING of the Word of God and are not “feeding” anyone with their preaching.

They are to hear the command and be "quiet" and not resist with their evil contention of what they hear the Spirit saying. They are commanded to work with their own hands and eat their OWN BREAD.

(11) For we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly, working not at all, but are busybodies.
(12) Now them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread.
(13) But ye, brethren, be not weary in well doing.


Paul coveted after no man’s “silver, or gold or apparel” as he worked with his own hands to minister unto his own necessities.

Acts 20:32-35 KJV
(32) And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.
(33) I have coveted no man's silver, or gold, or apparel.
(34) Yea, ye yourselves know, that these hands have ministered unto my necessities, and to them that were with m
e.


We must be with him in this….laboring with our own hands for our own necessities. This supports the “weak” minds…their weak consciences… of the world who will have nothing to blaspheme when they see us working with our own hands to support ourselves. They blaspheme when they see us preaching for pay and handling the Word of God deceitfully and making merchandise of the sheep and going after the earthly things.

(35) I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.

We must be with Paul in this….be “followers together of me”. We must work with our own hands to support our own earthly necessities just as he did.

Philippians 3:17-21 KJV
(17) Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample.


For MANY WALK (walking “disorderly) as the enemies of the cross of Christ by not working with their own hands and because of this they have no understanding of the good news of the eternal life of our Lord who shall change our humiliated mortal bodies to be fashioned like His glorious body.

(18) (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ:
(19) Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)


They are not looking for this in the here-and-now and are perishing without understanding….and without His life appearing in their mortal flesh which would give them His eternal life in this earth.

(20) For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:
(21) Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.


We must renounce the hidden things of dishonesty, not WALKING in craftiness nor handling the Word of God deceitfully so as to commend ourselves TO EVERY MAN’s CONSCIENCE IN THE SIGHT OF GOD. All nations are to see us working with our own hands and so not give them a chance to speak evil of what they see. there are many "weak" consciences in the world that speak evil because they see preachers busy collecting money.

2 Corinthians 4:1-5 KJV
(1) Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not;
(2) But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.


The gospel is hid to those who are PERISHING (not “lost”..but perishing). The god of this world (the belly) blinds their minds to the good news of Christ and they are not preaching the Word in truth and sincerity.

(3) But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
(4) In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
(5) For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake.


GIVE NONE OFFENCE…to the nations…by not seeking our own profit in church but the profit of many so that they may be saved. The nations speak evil of us when we are seeking our own profit in the churches of men.

1 Corinthians 10:32-33 KJV
(32) Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God:
(33) Even as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved.


Why should I be judged by another man’s conscience….his weak conscience? If we work with our own hands to support ourselves, then they have no opportunity to speak evil. The nations “sacrifice” their evil words to devils and not to God when they see us preaching for pay and making merchandise of the sheep. We must NOT have fellowship with devils. We must not cause His name to be blasphemed among the nations of the world because of the retailing of the Word of God. The Word of God must have free course in this world. We cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of devils. We have become the source of the nations’ “sacrifices” to devils as they speak evil of His Holy Name because of us.

1 Corinthians 10:19-33 KJV
(19) What say I then? that the idol is any thing, or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing?
(20) But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils.
(21) Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils.
(22) Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he?
(23) All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.
(24) Let no man seek his own, but every man another's wealth.
(25) Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, that eat, asking no question for conscience sake:
(26) For the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof.
(27) If any of them that believe not bid you to a feast, and ye be disposed to go; whatsoever is set before you, eat, asking no question for conscience sake.
(28) But if any man say unto you, This is offered in sacrifice unto idols, eat not for his sake that shewed it, and for conscience sake: for the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof:
(29) Conscience, I say, not thine own, but of the other: for why is my liberty judged of another man's conscience?
(30) For if I by grace be a partaker, why am I evil spoken of for that fo
r which I give thanks?
(31) Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.
(32) Give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God:
(33) Even as I please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of many, that they may be saved.


To be continued….
[B)If[/B] you are the Son of God, you will turn these stones to bread. It is written, humankind shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds from God.

To reiterate, we are the offspring of God and not the other way around. He is NOT the work of our hands. He is not our handwriting of church ordinances/dogmas (the stone…the burden…the bondage) that have been engraved by the church scribe’s own imagination and passed down through generations for many to keep.

Acts 17:28-29 KJV
(28) For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.
(29) Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device.


But people…having itching ears…turned from the true God and have surrounded themselves with their own teachers who teach what they want to hear. They do not want to endure sound doctrine but would rather turn to myths. They seem to want to be in the yoke of bondage that the churches of men offer with their doctrines and commandments of men contained in the handwriting of church dogmas.

2 Timothy 4:1-4 KJV
(1) I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;
(2) Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.
(3) For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
(4) And they shall turn away their ears from the truth,
and shall be turned unto fables.


Many see themselves as "wise" for letting men take advantage of them and bringing them into their church bondage of serving and worshipping of the "handwriting" of church dogmas where a man exalts himself.

2 Corinthians 11:19-20 KJV
(19) For ye suffer fools gladly, seeing ye yourselves are wise.
(20) For ye suffer, if a man bring you into bondage, if a man devour you, if a man take of you, if a man exalt himself, if a man smite you on the face.


Professing themselves to be “wise”, they became fools….

Romans 1:22 KJV
(22) Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

….and exchanged the truth of God (the true God) for THE lie (not “a” lie but “the” lie of the serpent from the very beginning) and worship and serve the “creature” (ordinance, formation) more than the Creator.

Romans 1:25 KJV
(25) Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.


What is the “formation” (creature) that they worship and serve above the true God?

The answer: The HANDWRITING OF church DOGMAS (ordinances) as they set aside the commandment of God (to have love for one another) in order to keep their church doctrines and commandments and use them to judge others….which is sin…and is not doing the teaching of Christ.

Jesus gave us a “new commandment” to have love for one another as He loved us and gave Himself for us. They set aside the commandment and are serving sin by the using of their carnal commandments and teachings to judge others as they worship and serve them instead.

We are dead in “sins and in the uncircumcision of our flesh” when we set aside the commandment of God to have love for one another in order to keep the “tradition” (transmissions…handwritings) of men as many use them to speak evil (judge) others…and all the while thinking that they are doing God’s work in doing so.

They think that they are doing God “service” by speaking evil of others who do not keep their “wonderful” church works and teachings. They believe the lie that they are “judges” (gods) for God as they speak evil (judge) of others and think that they have peace and safety to do such evil things.

Colossians 2:13-23 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 Jesus forgives us for such things as He blots out the handwriting of church ordinances that are against us and are contrary to us getting along with each other and takes it out of the way, nailing it to His cross.

(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.


Let no man judge you according to the carnal commandments that he has wrested out of the Scriptures to his own destruction. Let no church scribe bring you into his bondage with his “handwriting of ordinances” that are not saving the mortal flesh of anyone who thinks himself as “wise” for keeping and working them.

(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 church scribe has intruded (trespassed) into the things of the Law of which he doesn’t understand. He has intruded into those things which he has not seen as he doesn’t have the mind of Christ and has engraved in “stone” the church ordinances/dogmas with his puffed up , fleshly mind and wants you to keep those things. EVERY church has a “handwriting” that they worship and serve.

Wanting to be teachers of the law, they do not understand of what they speak nor of what they affirm. (1 Timothy 1:7). They "trespass" into those things that they do not understand in the Scriptures...wresting them to their own destruction.

(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,
(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.


Why be subject to their ordinances ….according to the commandments and doctrines of men that people perish with the using of them? NO FLESH is being saved in any church of man as ALL have their “handwriting” of dogmas.

(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,
(21) (Touch not; taste not; handle not;
(22) Which all are to perish with the using after the commandments and doctrines of men?


They do nothing for the mortal flesh for all are perishing away to the grave as we speak. NO FLESH is being saved…and yet many see themselves as “wise” for keeping and doing them. They have a show of wisdom in “will worship” as many see themselves as “wise”….and wanting to be seen as wise…. for voluntarily subjecting themselves to their respective church handwriting of dogmas.

(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.

As an “earring of gold”…..so is a wise “reprover” upon an obedient, HEARING ear….

Proverbs 25:12 KJV
(12) As an earring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, so is a wise reprover upon an obedient ear.

But those who have “itching ears” have broken off the “earring of gold” from the ears as they do not endure sound doctrine but rather heap to themselves their own teachers who speak what they want to hear….turning from the truth unto fables. The doctrines and commandments of men turn us away from the truth.

This is what they did in the story of the “gold calf”. They did break off the “gold earrings” which were in their ears….that is, they stopped listening to those who reproved them and desired to hear what they want to hear. They wanted to worship God on their own terms. They wanted to make God the product of their own hands and worship it instead of the true God.

Exodus 32:1-8 KJV
(1) And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down out of the mount, the people gathered themselves together unto Aaron, and said unto him, Up, make us gods, which shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him.
(2) And Aaron said unto them, Break off the golden earrings, which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring them unto me.
(3) And all the people brake off the golden earrings which were in their ears, and brought them unto Aaron.


Aaron received the gold earrings out of their hand and fashioned it with a GRAVING TOOL (a pen). He made a “molten” calf.

Today, the “gold calf” is still around….it is the handwriting of church ordinances/dogmas that are fashioned by the hand of a man with a pen. The churches of men are founded on the handwriting. It gives their church structure. Many give money to it.

It is “molten”…as money (metal: gold and silver) is given to the church…which is structured on the handwriting. The handwriting is covered in metal….the gold and silver (money) that many give to their churches.

It is a calf…..a yoke of bondage…that many go attach themselves to. Many willingly subject themselves into their church bondage.

It is a “gold” calf…as many see themselves as “wise” for serving and worshipping the handwriting of church dogmas. (How much better to get wisdom than gold! To get understanding is to be chosen rather than silver).

(4) And he received them at their hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool, after he had made it a molten calf: and they said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.

This is not just another “god” that they thought they were serving and worshipping. No, they thought that they were worshipping the true God with the gold calf. Today, it is no different. Many think that they are worshipping and serving the true God with the serving and worshipping of the doctrines and commandments of men. They serve the work of their own hands....their handwriting that was "graven" with the pen of the church scribes. We are not saved with their things.

(5) And when Aaron saw it, he built an altar before it; and Aaron made proclamation, and said, To morrow is a feast to the LORD.
(6) And they rose up early on the morrow, and offered burnt offerings, and brought peace offerings; and the people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to play.
(7) And the LORD said unto Moses, Go, get thee down; for thy people, which thou broughtest out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves:

They turn us away from the Truth....away from the Way of righteousness that was commanded for us to keep.

(8) They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them: they have made them a molten calf, and have worshipped it, and have sacrificed thereunto, and said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which have brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.


We are NOT redeemed with corruptible things….such as silver and gold (money that we give to the churches)… that we have received by tradition (transmission…in the handwriting) from our church “fathers” which were passed down through generations. It is empty and of no value.

1 Peter 1:18-19 KJV
(18) Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;
(19) But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spo
t:

The handwriting of church dogmas is used to judge others with who do not keep their particular denominational beliefs/commandments…..labeling others as “evil doers” who will “burn in hell” forever and ever.

They lay aside the commandment of God (to have love for one another) in order to hold the “tradition” (the transmission…the handwriting) of men. They reject the commandment of God in order to keep their transmission of men. They worship and serve the “creature”…the gold calf…the formation….the ordinance… more than the Creator.

Mark 7:6-9 KJV
(6) He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.
(7) Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
(8) For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do.
(9) And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.

Professing themselves as “wise”, they exchange the truth of God (the true God) for THE lie and worship and serve the “creature” (the FORMATION, ordinance) more than the Creator. They worship and serve the handwriting of church dogmas more than the Creator…and all the while think that they are truly serving the true God. The handwriting of church dogmas were formed (the formation) by the church scribes.

Romans 1:25 KJV
(25) Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.


But IN VAIN are they worshipping Him because they teach for doctrines the commandments of men and lay aside the commandment of God (to have love for one another) in order to hold the tradition (the transmission) of men. They reject the commandment of God so that they may keep the handwriting of church dogmas as they use it to judge others who do not keep their particular handwriting of ordinances.

Mark 7:7-9 KJV
(7) Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
(8) For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do.
(9) And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.


They profess themselves as “wise” and claim that the Law of the LORD is with them but they do not DO His law but reject the Word of the LORD in order to keep what the lying PEN OF THE church SCRIBES has written. What wisdom is in the handwriting of church dogmas? there is no profit in the serving and worshipping of the handwriting.

Jeremiah 8:8-9 KJV
(8) How do ye say, We are wise, and the law of the LORD is with us? Lo, certainly in vain made he it; the pen of the scribes is in vain.
(9) The wise men are ashamed, they are dismayed and taken: lo, they have rejected the word of the LORD; and what wisdom is in them?


The Word of God is made of “none effect” by the transmission….the lying pen of the church scribes…as those who worship and serve the handwriting of church ordinances do not practice His Word….the Saying: have love for one another.

Mark 7:13 KJV
(13) Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.

Again, let no man beguile you of your reward…the appearing eternal life of Jesus in our mortal bodies in this earth…in order to keep that man’s “handwriting” of ordinances.

Colossians 2:18-22 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,
(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.
(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,


Why be subject to church ordinances which are patterned after the “rudiments of the world” that has its “constitutions” and “statutes”? Remember the woman in the garden added her own carnal commandment: touch not.

(21) (Touch not; taste not; handle not;
(22) Which all are to perish with the using after the commandments and doctrines of men?


Do not believe the lie. We are not doing God “service” for “killing” others with our evil speaking (judging of them) when they do not keep our particular external church commandments and teachings.

The woman in the garden added her own carnal commandment (“neither shall you touch it”) to God’s commandments and presented it as though God had said it.

Genesis 3:1-6 KJV
(1) Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
(2) And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
(3) But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.


The lie: “you shall surely not die”….which should be strictly translated “dying, you shall not die” or “killing, you shall not die”. We have no peace and safety to “kill” another with our slander and evil judging.

(4) And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:

The lie: “For God does know…” We are doing it for God. God knows what we do for Him and approves of our evil speaking.

The lie: “your eyes shall be opened”….that is, you shall be seen as “wise”.

The lie: “you shall be as gods”… “gods” = Elohim = JUDGES. You shall be as judges (supposedly for God in His authority). A judge knows who and what is “good and evil” and makes a judgment on others…labeling them as “evil doers” for not keeping our carnal commandment (neither shall you touch it).

(5) For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.

Being desirous of “vain glory”…wanting to be seen as “wise”….many take the fruit and eat of it. They take pleasure in this as they judge others using their carnal commandments and teachings …their church dogmas.

(6) And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.

Death and life are in the power (hand) of the tongue….and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. Let us choose life and not death.

Proverbs 18:20-21 KJV
(20) A man's belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; and with the increase of his lips shall he be filled.
(21) Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.


If we speak evil of one another, we are JUDGING them (as “gods”…judges). There is only ONE Lawgiver who is able to save and to destroy…that is, God Himself.

We must not judge another using our handwriting of church dogmas…the teachings and commandments of men. We condemn others to "hell" for not keeping and worshipping the carnal commandments of men.

James 4:11-12 KJV
(11) Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge.
(12) There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another?


Serving and worshipping the “handwriting” of church dogmas is serving sin as we use it to speak evil of another (judging them). We are not a DOER of the Law of Christ who commanded us to have love for one another when we act as a JUDGE (“you are as gods”….you are as judges).

We are servants of THE (Greek: the definite article “THE” is there in Romans 6:20) sin and those things that we do when we serve and worship the handwriting of church dogmas always ends in death ….as the wages of the sin is death. The FRUIT (as plucked from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil) of those things is death.

Romans 6:20-22 KJV
(20) For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness.
(21) What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.


Let us hear the Truth and the Truth shall set us free from serving THE sin.

(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 sin is death.

Genesis 2:16-17 KJV
(16) And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:
(17) But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.


Death and life are in the hand of the tongue. Let us not continue to eat of the fruit of the wrong tree anymore. Our mouth should not be used for both blessing God and cursing others who are made after His similitude. We should not be speaking evil of others using a carnal commandment as a basis for doing so.

James 3:8-12 KJV
(8) But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.
(9) Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God.
(10) Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing.
My brethren, these things ought not so to be.
(11) Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?
