I have as well. Here is a statement below made from a SDA who I was once in a discussion with.
The counterfeit Gospel is out there. What is the other Gospel? It is a Gospel that tries to separate God's Law (10 commandments) from the Cross. It is a Gospel that tries to separate God's 10 commandments from the plan of salvation. God’s Law has always been part of the true Gospel of Christ. The counterfeit Gospel does not have it. God's forever Law (the 10 commandments) is the foundation of both the Old and the New Covenant and the very foundation and basis of the true Gospel of Christ.
EPHESIANS 2:8
[8],
For by grace are you saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the
gift of God: [9],
Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Many do not know why God has given us his grace..
ROMANS 1:5 By whom
we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name:
ROMANS 16:26 But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith.
Many say only BELIEVE and have faith thinking that faith does away with OBEDIENCE yet true FAITH is demonstrated with the very fruit of OBEDIENCE that works by LOVE.
ROMANS 3:31
Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yes,
we establish the law.
ROMANS 13:8-10
[8], Owe no man any thing, but to love one another:
for he that loves another has fulfilled the law.
[9], For this,
You shall not commit adultery, You shall not kill, You shall not steal, You shall not bear false witness, You shall not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly
summed up in this saying, namely, You shall love your neighbor as yourself. [10], Love works no ill to his neighbor: therefore
love is the fulfilling of the law.
What is sad about those who profess Christianity in disaobedience and lawlessness is that they not only twist scripture but seek to twist what others say abd try to give their words meaning they are not saying. The above post is another good example of spreading misinformation.
God's LAW is the KNOWLEDGE of GOOD and EVIL; SIN AND RIGHTOUESNESS *ROMANS 3:20; ROMANS 7:7; JAMES 2:8-11; 1 JOHN 3:4; PSALMS 119:172.
How can you have a gospel if you do not know what the gospel is? The counterfiet gospel is the same one promoted in the Garden of Eden to EVE. It is the false gospel taught in many mainstream Churches of today that teaches you can eat of the tree of the KNOWLEDGE of GOOD and EVIL [SIN] and you will not surely die, when God has commanded you not to eat of it lest you die. *GENESIS 3:1-5.
THE COUNTERFIET GOSPEL TRIES TO SEPARATE GOD'S LAW FROM THE CROSS
NO LAW >>> NO KNOWLEDGE OF SIN>>>NO NEED OF A SAVIOUR>>>NO SALVATION>>>LOST AND WILL PERISH WITHOUT THE LAW BECAUSE STILL IN SIN
* If you have no LAW then you have no KNOWLEDGE of what sin is *ROMANS 3:20.
* If you do not know what sin is then you do not know that you are a sinner in need of a Savior *MATTHEW 9:12-13
*If you do not know that you are a sinner in need of a Savior then you have no salvation *ROMANS 2:12-13
*If you have no salvation then you are lost because you are still in your sins *MATTHEW 7:22-23; HEBREWS 10:26-27; 2 TIMOTHY 3:1-5.
The wages of sin is death in all those who reject the gift of God's dear son *ROMANS 6:23.
If you do not know God's WORD then how can you know what the GOSPEL is when it is the WORD of GOD that is the GOSPEL?
Only GOD'S WORD is true and we should believe and follow it over the teachings and traditions of men that break the commandments of God. Jesus says all those who follow the teachings and traditions of men that break the commandments of God are not following God *MATTHEW 15:3-9.
Hope this helps.
