we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device....

The “elements” (the churches handwriting of ordinances/dogmas which are patterned after the world’s governmental documents) burn us up with the using of them. They do not save us from the wrath of God (the fire) that comes upon all men..... who perish from this earth "under the sun" of His revealed wrath as we all die. Only the doing of His commandments (which are written in our hearts) gives us life....the eternal life of His Son.

The church handwriting of man-based ordinances are “other gods”….other judges…as many use them to judge others with when we only have One Judge above.

Many serve and worship the handwritings of man’s hands more than our One Judge and Creator. The “creature” = the formation, ordinance. It is the “handwriting of ordinances/dogmas”. A “dogma” is what one thinks is correct and true.

Rom 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.


They worship and serve the “tradition”…the transmission… of men more than the Creator who gave us His commandments to keep and work. They come together in His name but serve their own church handwritings more than Him.

Mar 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.


Our God…our Judge is One….and He is not the product of man’s hands and He isn’t being served in the keeping and working of the handwriting of ordinances….the graven images...the idols... of man.

Act 17:29 KJV
(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 has brought us up out of the world’s governments….out of the land of “Egypt”….the world’s bondage.

We are now in the kingdom/government of God ….a much higher government…and we serve our King by doing His commandments that are written upon our hearts.

The kingdom/government of God is within us and is not “observed” outwardly by the keeping of “graven images”….the external handwritings of church ordinances.

Exo 20:1-5 KJV
(1) And God spake all these words, saying,
(2) I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
(3) Thou shalt have no other gods before me.


We are not to make any “graven image”...a handwriting of ordinances... whatsoever.

We are not to make any “graven image” ….a handwriting of ordinances…like the world does who self-governs and judges itself according to their “images”… their worldly documents: constitutions, statutes, etc. The world does not serve and worship God but does things according to their own self-rule and self-judgment.

We are not to make “graven images” of any like of anything that is in Heaven. We are not to make our own church handwritings of man’s commandments by copying some of the commands out of the Scriptures (which is from Heaven) and place them in our own documents to keep and serve.

We are not to make graven images like anything that is in the earth beneath (the world’s governmental documents).

We are not to make graven images of anything that is in the water “under the earth”. That is, not to copy those who have passed away from this earth (under the earth) but yet we still have their teachings (the “water”), books, etc. today. We are not to base any handwriting on dead people’s teachings and direction.

Anyone who preaches things that a dead person has preached and written in the past is being a “medium” because the person who is being preached has already died and totally missed the good news of Jesus Christ whose eternal life is to be made manifest in our mortal bodies in this earth . Why be a ventriloquist for a dead person by preaching his erroneous teachings? Why consult those who are dead (their writings, books, etc) in behalf of the living?

(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:

The tradition/transmission of men: Man’s handwritings are being passed down from one generation to another in the man-based churches.

The iniquity of the church fathers (their handwritings) are being visited upon the children as the children are required by the fathers to keep and serve the product of their own hands…..the “graven images”…their church handwritings of dogmas.

(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;

They set their abominations….their church handwritings today….in the house which is called by His name…to defile it.

Jer 32:34-35 KJV
(34) But they set their abominations in the house, which is called by my name, to defile it.

The handwriting of church ordinances are highly revered…but they are the “Baal” being served as many are married to it like a “husband” as it rules over them . They humbly submit to the handwriting.

The handwriting is like a king over them (Molech = king).

It is being passed down from one generation to another which destroys those who keep them in the fire of God’s wrath. The “elements” burn us. The Molech…the handwriting…was not commanded by Him for us to keep. We are doing a disservice to our children by bringing them up to serve and worship the church’s handwritings instead of keeping God’s commandments in the government of God.

(35) And they built the high places of Baal, which are in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire unto Molech; which I commanded them not, neither came it into my mind, that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin.

We decay and perish in our mortal bodies when we subject ourselves to do the handwriting of the commandments of men. Why be subject to man’s ordinances? They do nothing to save our mortal flesh with the working of them.

We “perish with the using” up of them as the use of the commandments and doctrines of men burn up our mortal bodies in the fire of God’s wrath that arises upon all.

We are not saved from His wrath with the doing of man’s ordinances. Only doing God’s commandments saves our mortal bodies from His wrath to come.

Col 2:20-22
(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?


We MUST turn from “idols”…the handwritings of church ordinances…to serve the Living and True God….the Living and True Judge. The "other gods"...the other judges...are worthless in keeping and serving. We have only One Judge who judges us....and not a lifeless handwriting of ordinances that can do nothing to us if we do not keep them.

1Th 1:9-10 KJV
(9) For they themselves shew of us what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God;


His Son from Heaven delivers us from the “wrath to come”….the death of our mortal bodies which comes upon all men who hold down the truth in unrighteousness. We believe INTO the Son as our mortal bodies are given His eternal life in this earth. We manifest His life in this mortal body….the redemption of our mortal bodies for the world to see.

(10) And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.

The works of man’s hands (the commandments and doctrines of men) that are built upon the foundation of Jesus Christ are burnt up in the fire of God’s wrath.

The handwritings of church dogmas are “precious” (gold, silver, precious stones) in the eyes of those who work and serve them (which are like wood, hay, stubble…things that burn up) ….but they do nothing to preserve our mortal bodies in this earth. They are not living works but dead wood, hay, stubble that burn up in His fire.

The “elements”…man’s codified principles … burn us up His fire as He is a consuming fire.

1Co 3:11-15 KJV
(11) For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
(12) Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;


The fire of God’s wrath burns up our works…..and those works based upon man’s handwritings of ordinances…do not preserve our mortal bodies. The codified works of man's handwritings burn our mortal bodies up in the fire when we work them. They do nothing to save our flesh.

(13) Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.

But whoever DOES the will of God (His commandments), shall abide forever. He shall receive a reward: eternal life …the life of Christ…in this mortal body.

(14) If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.

If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: the loss of the mortal body as it decays and passes away from this earth being burnt up in the fire of His wrath.

Man’s handwritings of ordinances do not save the flesh (the mortal body) of anyone. That is apparent as many have passed away from this earth by the keeping and serving of them.

He himself, his spirit, shall be saved yet so by fire…the fire of God’s wrath the burns up the mortal body that works the works of man’s hands: the commandments and doctrines of men that are all externally written down to serve and work instead of God’s commandments that are written upon our hearts.

(15) If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.

Again, he that DOES the will of God abides here in this earth and will not pass away like the rest of the world.

The world and the lust thereof is actively passing away as we speak as their mortal flesh is not saved but being burned up in the fire of God’s wrath.

1Jn 2:17 KJV
(17) And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.


For all flesh is as grass. The mortal flesh withers under the sun of God’s wrath that arises upon all flesh. We mortally decay and pass away.

1Pe 1:24-25 KJV
(24) For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away:

The Word of the Lord endures forever. He that does the Word of the Lord endures forever. He will not burn up in the consuming fire of God's wrath.

When we do His will (and not man’s codified handwritten will), we also endure forever. We are have entered and are being sheltered in His shade and no longer under the heat of His wrath.

(25) But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.

When we receive man’s church handwriting of ordinances, we are exchanging the glory of the uncorruptible (not decaying) God for an image make like to corruptible (decaying) man. The handwriting of dogmas are patterned after the world’s documents that does not worship and serve God.

We change the glory of the “uncorruptible”….undecaying…God into an IMAGE (man’s works of his own hand: the handwriting of church ordinances) made like a “corruptible” (DECAYING) man.

The outside world has their governmental documents (their constitutions, by-laws, statutes, etc) …but is what the decaying man does to govern and judge himself according to man’s government rather than God’s. The outside world is given over and serves a “reprobate mind” for doing so.

Rom 1:22-25 KJV
(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.
(24) Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
(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.


An ox eats grass….meaning our flesh. A church handwriting is as an ox that eats grass (our mortal flesh).

They made a calf in “Horeb”…meaning “desolation”…and worshipped the molten image (the handwriting of ordinances). They made a handwriting in the form of a 4 footed beast that eats grass.... that destroys their flesh when it is being kept.

Psa 106:19-21 KJV
(19) They made a calf in Horeb, and worshipped the molten image.
(20) Thus they changed their glory into the similitude of an ox that eateth grass.
(21) They forgat God their saviour, which had done great things in Egypt;


It is the “abomination of desolation”…the handwriting of man’s ordinances… set up in the church (the house called by His Name) which is being worshipped and served more than God. We must see it....we must understand what the abomination is. When we understand it, we must flee from it into the mountains of God's righteousness.

Mat 24:15-16 KJV
(15) When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand
(16) Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:


“Whoso reads, let him understand”. It was Daniel that could “read and understand” the handwriting on the wall. It points to the handwriting of man’s hand.

Dan 5:17 KJV
(17) Then Daniel answered and said before the king, Let thy gifts be to thyself, and give thy rewards to another; yet I will read the writing unto the king, and make known to him the interpretation.
