What IS the Truth?

Ever talked to someone,

some guy who was just so off the mark you couldn't imagine how someone could believe such nonsense? I mean, there is a little off the path, and then there is lost in the jungle. But the fact of it remains, the guy walking through the bushes, two feet away from the path, fully believes he knows where he is, and that he can absolutely NEVER, ever "git lost," just like the guy off stumbling in another county, slogging through quicksand, narrowly missed by striking copperheads and pursued by hungry bears (all the while imagining he is following the correct path, even while headed in the wrong direction) -- both guys very well might think they are fine, that they are in fact "In The Truth" (while everyone else, those suckers are gonna burn, like FOREVER).

The sad fact is, you can't get through to them. They think they are right, regardless of the facts, regardless of the evidence, regardless of the revelation (or extreme lack thereof), and it is YOU who is lost, who is stumbling blind through the pitfalls, approaching your doom (and in most cases, they seem quite pleased in your apparent peril). You cannot break through. They will not reason. They have that, um, you know, that particular...

...smile. You've probably seen it, that smile, that "I'm saved" smile, that "you are damned" smirk. It is content, watching safe on the shore, while the riptide rips you away from safety, taking you further and further out to shark-infested sea -- and they are SMILING (have you ever beheld that famous smile, generally on the lips of a Jehovah's Witness, or Baptist, or a guy that says he's "of the Church of Christ" -- have you seen it? Not that all Jehovah's Witnesses have that smile, or all Baptists, or all guys "of the Church of Christ," but seemingly plenty enough for just about anyone to recognize exactly what I'm talking about, you know, that smile) (there, that marks the end of that particular parenthetical aside, and this one as well) (whew).

The Religion Magicians employ this trick: "Step right up, get yer TRUTH here, that's right, TRUTH! The Gospel is free, but someone's gotta putta inna duh plumbing. We'll equip you, we'll make you so familiar with the TRUTH that when the deception comes along, you'll know the difference instantly!" They repeat this mantra, they repeat it, they repeat it, repeat, repeat, repeat...

...presto chango! Abracadabra. They teach you the magic words, and then bim-bam-BOOM, Shazzam! You is SAVED (sic). (Sick?) (It is often referred to as "Gittin' Saved.") (sic) And then, now, wow, everything will go smoothly, everything will be Suh-WEEEEEEEET!

These Religion Magicians wave around Magic Bibles (and they usually have a lot of sermons to preach on the dangers of Harry Potter, or The Da Vinci Code, and the blessed assurance of only ONE Bible version, their magic version) and they scream: "The Bible Alone!" While, in fact, when you dig a little deeper, you find that what they are referring to as "Bible Alone" actually means, literally TRADITION. Check it out, seriously, delve into their "study," and you'll find that the Bible verses they quote don't ever quite say what they say they're saying, only when you multiply this verse, while squaring this verse, subtracting these books of the Bible, instituting a completely new New Testament, and then adding all of these together (using New Age math). Someone, at some distant time, read some snatches of Scripture, then sat down and wrote quite a lot of rules about that snitch or snatch that they read, and how you better git some, hook line and sinker.

Their "doctrines" are usually inverted pyramids. You know, the point of the pyramid, a tiny, sharp pin-prick of a point, is jammed into the dirt (they call it their "firm foundation") and then looming above this tiny little point is a massive pyramid, brick after brick after brick, the bricks getting huger, more massive as they rise up off the ground, until SUV-sized slabs of granite are up in the sky, all of this mass balancing precariously over the wee little pinprick of Biblical doctrine. The whole mass teeters, threatening any second to do some serious tottering -- but you better accept this "doctrine," oh yes, cuz if you don't? You are in the "Kingdom of the Cults," and there is no salvation in them bad-boy lands. And they are chanting: "Sola Scriptura!" or better yet: "The Bible Alone."

This pinprick is their "doctrine," their little snatch they yanked out of the Bible, and all the bricks and stones and slabs balancing precariously above the point, is the tradition, the telephone-tag addition of opinion here, wise judgment there, a collected vote here, a committee's advice around about here, an "anointed one's" revelation up there and a dream or two packed in there. Wow, you have to admit, it is an amazing construction (just read anyone's "study" on WHY God changed His mind about the Sabbath, even after pointedly specifying: REMEMBER), and you have to be impressed. Anyone should be impressed.

There's even a troup of jesters out there preaching that the only way to "git saved" is by employing the Law of God, but as soon as you have "gat saved" (?) then you are free from "the righteous requirements of the Law!" They call it freedom from Sabbath-keeping, and/or freedom from the Law, and/or freedom from obeying God. One New Age Bible Thumpin' Magician actually is teaching that the law was given to trip you, that it was given as a bad thing, for a bad reason, for bad purposes, in short that God gave the law for EVIL, but follow this New Age Guru, and you is free from that evil law!

It is the "Tradition of the Elders." And "tradition of men." And the collective. Sometimes, tradition of the youngers. The hive. The Borg (you WILL join, resistance is futile).

They proudly point to their inverted pyramid and smile as they say: "There, look at it! The Bible ALONE!"

You are probably familiar with the parable about the two houses, one built on sand, and one on stone -- a point generally missed in this parable is that the wise man didn't cart in a bunch of stone and lay it out on the sand; the Bible says that the man dug down deep until he found rock, and on this rock he built his house (if he had laid out stone upon the sand his fate would have been the same as the fool who outright built on nothing more foundational than sand alone):

Whosoever cometh to me, and heareth my sayings, and

doeth them, I will shew you to whom he is like: He is like a

man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the

foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream

beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it:

for it was founded upon a rock. But he that heareth, and

doeth not, is like a man that without a foundation built an

house upon the earth; against which the stream did beat

vehemently, and immediately it fell; and the ruin of that

house was great.

Luke 6:47-49

So you HEAR the Words of Jesus, and then you DO the Words of Jesus, which is the true Biblical way to have solid bedrock as your "firm foundation." Lay your foundation on the Rock, the Chief Cornerstone that was rejected. Do you realize just how many of today's false religion "doctrines" fall if you faithfully study the parables of Jesus? Almost all of them -- "the ruin of that house was great."

Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we

should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures. Wherefore,

my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow

to speak, slow to wrath: For the wrath of man worketh

not the righteousness of God. Wherefore lay apart all

filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive

with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save

your souls. But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers

only, deceiving your own selves. For if any be a hearer

of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man

beholding his natural face in a glass: For he beholdeth

himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth

what manner of man he was. But whoso looketh into the

perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being

not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man

shall be blessed in his deed. If any man among you seem

to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth

his own heart, this man's religion is vain.

James 1:18-26

It is so amazing, how consistent the Bible is with all its Scriptures, and yet the false teachers of today, like a one-legged man in a tap-dancing contest, will tappa-tap-tap all around the Truth, teaching you to forget where God says Remember, to say YES where God says NO, and say no where God says YES. Jesus says He did not come to destroy the Law, that it will not change, and his much smarter followers, thousands of years later, reply: "Wrong, Lord! You DID change it, even if You didn't intend to. But we forgive You, Lord! We have improved Your law, changed it where it needed some nipping and tucking. Out with the Old (Testament) and in with the New (and improved, Testament).

If you allow some New Age Guru to deceive you, in reality, your are deceiving yourself! That's why Jesus said "let no man deceive you" (Luke 21:8, 1 John 3:7). It is your responsibility. That's why the Bible says if you do not LOVE THE TRUTH, you will be given delusion in its place (2 Thessalonians 2:10, keep reading). And note, despite what all the despisers call it, the Bible calls it the "perfect law of liberty," it is the mirror that shows us our shackles, the handcuffs of deception, the leg irons of trickery, man-made tradition that locks us to this earth. The religion of the despisers? "This man's religion is vain."

That's the inverted pyramid, all the false doctrines built on sand, on baseless tradition, in many cases completely opposite to what the Bible teaches (all the while repeating the mantra: "the Bible alone! the Bible alone! the Bible alone!"). This inverted pyramid, tottering, teetering, ready to come crashing down (nobody could ever imagine that inverted pyramid successfully standing, even for a moment, and yet they fully embrace "doctrine" after "doctrine" that is more impossibly balanced, more weirdly discombobulated when compared to the actuality of God's Word). The Bible says the "ruin of that house was great." When the pyramid falls, it goes to pieces, and each of those pieces, shrapnel, hurts and maims and destroys. People DIE when that pyramid crashes down on them -- and the standard reply is: "Oh, well those people were not REALLY saved in the first place. Let them take their place with the wicked, in torture, eternally. Amen!"

So HOW do we know if we are embracing the TRUTH, or a LIE? The Bible tells us to examine ourselves, we need to do constant checks, to see if we have strayed from the path:

Examine yourselves to see if your faith is really genuine. Test

yourselves. If you cannot tell that Jesus Christ is among you,

it means you have failed the test. I hope you recognize that

we have passed the test and are approved by God. We pray

to God that you will not do anything wrong. We pray this, not

to show that our ministry to you has been successful, but

because we want you to do right even if we ourselves seem

to have failed. Our responsibility is never to oppose the truth,

but to stand for the truth at all times.

2 Corinthians 13:5-8 (New Living Translation)

If you are ever told: "This IS the Truth!" and what you are hearing is the opposite of what the Bible actually teaches, your warning flashers better start blinking on and off. And perhaps your BS Detectors should start making some noise, and, no perhaps, your tootsies ought to start tap-ah-tapping AWAY from that liar. Because they (the Tradition Magician and Religion Magician) don't want you to seek it out yourself, to pursue TRUTH, to seek God with everything you got, to be corrected when that is necessary, to find out that you are NOT on the path, the Truth Path, but have gotten yourself over to an "alternate path" (possibly the Truht Path) and it might be close, but it ain't the Truth (do you think that Truht is close enough to Truth?), not by a long shot. As long as you are happily pushing through the bushes, believing yourself on the correct path, the anointed guru is happy, and in your ignorance, you too may very well be experiencing bliss (but that bliss in ignorance is in no measure a permanent state, it really will ultimately lead to pain and suffering, probably in this world even before the next).

That sickly smile that the "git saved" Tradition Magician smiles, that shouldn't be the first indicator that sets off your BS detector. It's the words coming outta their mouths. Yes, they very well may be saying: "Jesus! Jesus! Jesus!" (and the pronounciation, for whatever bizarre excuse for a reason, is generally something closer to "Jay-Zuss! Jay-Zuss!" or "GEE-jusssss!" who can say WHY), but are their words lining up with the actual Words of Jesus?

Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should

do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the

prophets. Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate,

and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many

there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate,

and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few

there be that find it. Beware of false prophets, which come

to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening

wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather

grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good

tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth

forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit,

neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree

that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast

into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

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. 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? And then will I profess unto them,

I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Matthew 7:12-23

You should really read this passage, multiple times. Maybe you've read it before, but I'd suggest reading it again, slowly. Meditate on the meaning. Really, right now, go back and read it again, slowly. Bite by bite. Pray as you read it. Ask God to open your eyes, to reveal YOU, to lead you not into temptation, but to deliver you from evil. Tell God that you WANT the Truth, even if you don't LIKE it -- tell God that you want to LOVE the Truth, all of the Truth, even the bits and parts that so, so, SOOOOOO destroy our favorite traditions. Open yourself up to God, not your favorite anointed one, go to the Giver, the Creator, go to Him directly, without any earthly mediator. Pray with your eyes open as you read this scripture, Matthew 7:12-23, and allow God to TRULY open your eyes.

Do you prefer the humble reality? Or do you prefer the flashy deception? Could you be happy, living in an alien egg, illusions and delusions fed into your brain through wires -- life in the Matrix, is that what you prefer? Maybe as someone important, like a rock star, or a movie star? All the while it just ain't real, it is all an elaborate deception, is that what you would choose? Or would you prefer the grim truth, even if it means eating mush every day, dressed in rags, every moment facing a brilliant enemy that is much smarter than you -- but all the while knowing that you are AWAKE, serving Truth, living Truth, on the right side, with a High Priest at your back Who loves you and will never leave you?

Do you realize that this passage in Matthew 7:12-23 directly builds onto the "fool building his house on sand, and the wise man digging down deep to the rock?"

There's really very little commentary necessary to go along with it. Jesus said it. Pretty clearly. And those that would build upon it, their precarious doctrines of addition and subtraction, they aren't really building on the Words of Jesus at all, are they? Jesus says here, there are some bad people out there, who claim to be speaking from God Himself, they claim to be receiving "words" and "revelation," and yet God is not speaking to them. They are pulling off some neat tricks, possibly even doing wonderful works, all in the Name of Jesus, and yet the Lord Himself will say to them: "I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity." It is apparent, in many cases, these people actually BELIEVE they are the children of God, the followers of Christ -- they claim to be "Christian." They believe they were "predestined," they believe in a magical destiny that they play very little part in. And yet, sadly, tragically, Jesus does not know them.

Do you know what iniquity is? Literally, it means:

without law

Does that sear your conscience? Have you heard "teachers" preach that if you have the Holy Spirit, you don't need the Ten Commandments? (And yet, think about it, these are the same hoaxsters who are screaming and yelling that the Ten Commandments need to be in secular Government buildings, and out in public!) Iniquity means you don't "have the law." Iniquity means you hate the Law of God. Does that sear your conscience? The Bible is very clear about those that "work iniquity," or bring about lawlessness, the Bible is very clear about what is going to happen to them, these "least in the Kingdom." Does that sear your conscience?

If not, maybe it should.

Here is the Strong's definition of iniquity:

ajnomiva

1. the condition of without law, because ignorant of it,

because of violating it, 2. contempt and violation of law,

iniquity, wickedness

Ignorance. Contempt. People tend to fall into those two camps, those that were taught falsehood, and with the best of intentions cling to that falsehood. And those that know the truth but live in contempt of truth, and teach others to do so.

Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets:

I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto

you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in

no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Whosoever

therefore shall break one of these least commandments,

and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the

kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach

them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of

heaven. For I say unto you, That except your righteousness

shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and

Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom

of heaven.

Matthew 5:17-20

Jesus says it, there will be people teaching that He destroyed something He did not come to destroy. They will teach you that Jesus didn't quite understand what FULFILL means, that it in all actuality means "destroyed!" (and yet they generally mean He only fulfilled ONE of the Ten Commandments, can you guess which?), but Jesus says if you break even the least of these Commandments (and no, there are not 610, 604 or 614 or 666 commandments as the Religion Magician often claims, there are only Ten that were spoken by the very mouth of God in the hearing of the people, the same Ten that were written upon rock by God's Own Finger!), and if the false teacher "teaches" you so, he is least in the Kingdom (it doesn't mean he is part of the kingdom, but considered the very worst of the workers of iniquity). The Religion Magician of today is in the same box as the religion masters in the day of Jesus, they were not hawking the Word of God, they were not teaching the Laws of God, but their own traditions, in very much the same way false teachers and falser prophets hawk their own wares today.

This is about it, the thing that causes the false teachers to do the most tap dancing, is the subject of "the law" (and please, do yourself a mighty favor, and read Psalms 119). Jesus claims He did not come to destroy it, or even CHANGE it, and yet, that's exactly what the false teachers claim He ended up doing, they will even take the words "fulfill" and "magnify" and distort them, contort them, abort them into meaning their exact opposites! The Bible clearly teaches that God does not change, and they claim, well, yeah, He does. The Bible says that Jesus is the same, yesterday, today, and tomorrow, and they claim, well, no, He ain't, not really. They claim, repetitively, that you can keep the "spirit of the law" all the while breaking the "letter of the law!" God says REMEMBER, and they say "fuhgettaboutit." God says Seventh, and they claim one in seven,or first, or even none at all. And they will tell you that theirs is new and improved, much, much better than the Word of God.

And you know, deep in your marrow, it is all a lie. But for some odd reason, you will not listen to your conscience. In many cases, you will reject the Holy Spirit in favor of your tradition. You were taught it, by good and holy men, you fully believe, so how, oh how, can you reject falsehood for truth? Even if you desperately desire the Truth?

But God makes it clear, you have to love Truth. LOVE and TRUTH, they go together, always. If you do not love the Truth, you will be given over to deception.

The Bible teaches that if you break even one of the Ten Commandments, you break them all. The false teachers convert this into "you shouldn't keep any of the Commandments," all the while they really mean, "don't keep the Fourth Commandment."

Think of it, these false teachers, these Tradition Magicians, these Religion Magicians, they resourcefully "work at iniquity." They are "workers of iniquity," they work at setting aside God's Laws and instituting their own false, man-made traditions:

And then will I

profess unto them,

I never knew you:

depart from me, ye that

work iniquity.

Matthew 7:23

Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for the LORD hath

heard the voice of my weeping.

Psalm 6:8

Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up

my people as they eat bread, and call not upon the LORD.

Psalm 14:4

Draw me not away with the wicked, and with the workers of

iniquity, which speak peace to their neighbours, but mischief

is in their hearts.

Psalm 28:3

There are the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast down,

and shall not be able to rise.

Psalm 36:12

Deliver me from the workers of iniquity, and save me from

bloody men.

Psalm 59:2

Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer: preserve my life from

fear of the enemy. Hide me from the secret counsel of the

wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity: Who

whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot

their arrows, even bitter words: That they may shoot in secret

at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.

They encourage themselves in an evil matter: they commune

of laying snares privily; they say, Who shall see them? They

search out iniquities; they accomplish a diligent search: both

the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart, is

deep. But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; suddenly

shall they be wounded. So they shall make their own tongue

to fall upon themselves: all that see them shall flee away.

And all men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God;

for they shall wisely consider of his doing.

Psalms 64:1-9

The way of the LORD is strength to the upright: but

destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity.

Proverb 10:29

Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy

presence, and thou hast taught in our streets. But he shall

say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me,

all ye workers of iniquity. There shall be weeping and

gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac,

and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God,

and you yourselves thrust out.

Luke 13:26-28

Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin

is the transgression of the law.

1 John 3:4 (KJV)

Everyone who sins breaks the law; in fact, sin is lawlessness.

1 John 3:4 (NIV)

For this lawlessness is already at work secretly, and it will

remain secret until the one who is holding it back steps out of

the way. Then the man of lawlessness will be revealed, whom

the Lord Jesus will consume with the breath of his mouth and

destroy by the splendor of his coming. This evil man will come

to do the work of Satan with counterfeit power and signs and

miracles.

2 Thessalonians 2:7-9 (NLT)

Those that teach things like "dispensationalism," are teaching falsehood. Those that teach things like The New Testament replaced The Old Testament, they are lying. Those that teach that law is somehow bad, they are deceivers, workers of iniquity, teaching LAWLESSNESS. Those that teach that by Jesus fulfilling the law somehow destroyed the law, negated the law, removed the law, changed the law -- they are liars and cheaters and deceivers, they are teaching lawlessness, and are considered least in the Kingdom of God. All these "teachings?" It is all tap dancing to rearrange the Words of Jesus, to say the exact opposite of what He actually said.

Deep down, you know all this, it all rings true. You don't need me to point out the Truth, it is all around you, it is knocking at the door to your heart. The ring of Truth, it peals and echoes and reverberates all around you, and yet it battles against Tradition, and sadly, people choose what they are used to, as opposed to the Truth. The chaotic "gray noise" of lawlessness is the ghetto blaster booming down the street, obscuring the ringing peal of Truth. Which do you want? The din, or the pure tone? The glaring, tap-dancing LIE, or the graceful, humble Truth?

Those that assault God's Laws are called "bloody men," the Bible says they use their tongue like a sword (they quote Scripture), all of it has its secret underlying deception, they speak "peace" but it is all a deception -- and their judgment is coming.

For from the least of them even unto the greatest of them

every one is given to covetousness; and from the prophet

even unto the priest every one dealeth falsely. They have

healed also the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly,

saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace. Were they

ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they

were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore

they shall fall among them that fall: at the time that I visit

them they shall be cast down, saith the LORD. Thus saith

the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the

old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye

shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk

therein. Jeremiah 6:13-16

Does this passage SCARE you? It should, if you know how to read, if you don't know how to read, what in the world are you doing here? Stop staring at the screen. But if you do know how to read, and THINK, then it should be frighteningly apparent, that what we think of as "Christianity" in today's world, it doesn't look good, not at all. Right here in this one passage everything is indicated, a prophecy that is happening right now, that from the least to the greatest -- the false prophets and false "priests" are lying, they are cheating, they have embraced and are pushing LAWLESSNESS. They put fake bandaids of "healing" upon the wounded, they prophesy "Peace! Peace!" where there is none, and with all the rascals and rogues running amuck, there is nobody to lift up their voice against the abominations, people that consider themselves followers of Christ don't even feel ashamed, they don't even blush! They are falling backward in their deceived state, they are accounted with the wicked. God is coming, and the brightness of His coming will consume them, these false Christians who cry out "Lord! Lord!" God says "stand in the ways!" REMEMBER. Do you remember God saying Remember? What happens if you REMEMBER? You will find REST for your souls! But what do the false ones say? "We will not walk therein." They want lawlessness, these workers of iniquity.

Walk in the Old Ways, and you will find rest for your soul.

Do you believe it? Do you remember?

Or as the Bible says, will you answer Him: "We will not walk therein...?"

The Bible tells us, we are to examine ourselves, if our doctrine is true, if we are in Christ, if Christ is in us. And when we examine ourselves, what should we find?

By this we know that we love the children of God, when we

love God, and keep His commandments. For this is the love of

God, that we keep His commandments: and His commandments

are not grievous.

1 John 5:2-3

Jesus said this same thing, very directly (no tap-dancing involved):

If ye love Me, keep My commandments.

John 14:15

As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue

ye in My love. If ye keep My commandments, ye shall abide

in My love; even as I have kept My Father's commandments,

and abide in His love. These things have I spoken unto you,

that My joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be

full. This is My commandment, That ye love one another, as

I have loved you. Greater love hath no man than this, that a

man lay down his life for his friends. Ye are my friends, if ye

do whatsoever I command you.

John 15:9-14

Now, of course, the deceivers step in here, very quickly, and they claim that Jesus changed the Law, that He wiped out "the old law" and instituted "new laws," even though Jesus Himself claimed:

Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets:

I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto

you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in

no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Whosoever

therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and

shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom

of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same

shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I say unto

you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the

righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no

case enter into the kingdom of heaven.

John 5:17-20

Could Jesus have made it ANY more clear? He didn't come to destroy or change even the smallest part of the Ten Commandments -- He came and kept them perfectly, He fulfilled them, He lived up to them, and He makes it very, very, very clear that if anyone chooses to live against these Commandments, and teaches other to do so, He won't enter the Kingdom of Heaven. But the workers of iniquity, they work at their tasks, they work to teach others to do so as well, they teach "lawlessness," that Jesus DID destroy the Law, that He in fulfilling it He made Seven turn into one (search into this, it's what all their false teaching always comes back to, that you don't have to Remember, even if God says to; they work at teaching you to break God's Law, specifically the Fourth Commandment -- ask yourself WHY?).

The Lastdays Church also meets Jesus' specific instructions here:

And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to

make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the

commandments of God, and have the testimony of

Jesus Christ.

Revelation 12:17

The devil is pretty angry with those guys teaching the Truth about God's Commandments and the Testimony of Jesus. Do you think the devil is angry with those teaching lawlessness?

Again and again, the Bible teaches CLEARLY, cleanly, easy to understand, that you should have the Testimony of Jesus, and you should keep the Commandments of God, and God doesn't change, nor does His Ten Commandments change, and Jesus' Commandments are the exact same as His Father's Commandments (is God ONE?), our Father's Commandments have not changed, they are Jesus' Commandments! Even with this:

Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that

keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

Revelation 14:12

The false teachers begin their tap dancing anew here, to convince you that these verses, none of them, are talking about you (they keep hammering away, you better not keep ANY of the Commandments!), by introducing the destructive heresy of a Secret Rapture, wherein God's commandmentless (workers of iniquity) true-git-saved-believers are snatched out of the world, leaving this verse all alone to talk about the physical State of Israel, that only Jews are lawful, that Christians are indeed lawless and should practice and teach lawlessness!

You know the Truth, deep in your heart, as God has been desperately trying to get through to you. How long will you reject the leading of the Holy Spirit? Jesus is knocking at the door, right now. Open it. Let Him in. Think about it, you can stop pretending! You can have true Eternal Life. You can have what the lastdays church has, the Commandments of God, and the Faith of Jesus. This isn't hard, it's a free gift, it's yours, you only have to accept it. LOVE the Truth

And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that

perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that

they might be saved.

2 Thessalonians 2:10

Examine yourself. Submit yourself unto God. Choose, are you a worker of iniquity, or do you have the Faith of Jesus, His Testimony, and the Commandments of God? Are you lawful, or awful? It IS an either/or situation, and you must choose which side you want to be on. Do you want TRUTH? Or do you want Truht?

Define Truth.
