Never Again????????????????????????????

                                                         

It appears as if the Unted States of America is not....united. Truth, Justice and the American way have been hijacked through the indoctrination of what has been called higher education. Our colleges are cesspools of rebellion, perversion and vacant ideologies  that encourage the eradication of parental authority, and the raising of children in a community of subservient comrades.

                                     

Independent thinking discouraged, freedom to chose ones life goals, if at odds with the oppressing ideology, meant with scorn, torture or death.  And pursuing  creativity quashed under the boot of terrorism and control set down by possessed egomaniacs and self centered rulers and prophets, so called, from the past. Those whose end  goal was power...for themselves;  control....by their unquestioning authority;  and the subjugation of the masses. 

                                                                                  

We are now reaping what the college professors have sown. America bad....White people oppressive....capitalism unfair and along with Christianity and its Jesus must be flung far away from the leftist, liberal, progressive, socialistic, marxist ideology. Where those working support those who can't, won't and  deplore and repudicate conversative values and whose full time vocation is protesting whatever deviates from what their professors have proclaimed in their tickled their little ears.      

                                    

                                           

I frankly am surprised from those surprised over these college students approval of those terrorists who rob, steal, maim and kill. And not only kill quickly, but torture, men, women and children in the most grotesque manner. Even bashing in or stomping on the skulls of the helpless and severing the heads of little babies in an orgy of violence that has been approved and promoted by their religion of peace. 

                                               

         

Surah 3:151: "We shall cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve (all non-Muslims) …"

Surah 2:191: "And kill them (non-Muslims) wherever you find them … kill them. Such is the recompense of the disbelievers (non-Muslims)."

Surah 9:5: "Then kill the disbelievers (non-Muslims) wherever you find them, capture them and besiege them, and lie in wait for them in each and every ambush …"

                                 

    

And now our borders are wide open for anyone to enter in. I ask how many of the over five million illegal aliens (as much as 10 million say some)  are ready to ponce at the chance to cause havoc, death and destruction in the United States. We have let down our guard. A trojan horse of evil has slipped through our gates. And it's only a matter of time before the dragon breaths out fire. And terror is unleashed in a vicious display. For terrorists aren't sleeping. They are just waiting for an opportune time.  

                                   

                            

Jesus Christ Fulfilled ceremonial Law

 It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery. (Gal. 5:1)

                                                                

So let no one judge you in food or in drink, or regarding a festival or a new moon or sabbaths. Col. 2:16 (The book of Hebrews tells us The high priest who is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices {still being performed when the book of Hebrews was written} that they serve the copy and shadow of the heavenly things--Heb. 8)  For the law, having a shadow of the good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with these same sacrifices, which they offer continually year by year, make those who approach perfect. (Heb. 10:1) 

Jesus himself said to the people "you must be perfect as the Father in  heaven is perfect." Perfection does not come to one by doing good works, worshipping on a particular day, or by the food that you consume. But by grace through faith and not of yourselves. It is a gift of God not of works....perfection is obtained by the imputed righteousness of Christ imputed to your account. He is the One in whom the Father is well pleased. And the One whom God the Father says: Listen to Him.  

So let no one judge you in food or in drink, or regarding a festival or a new moon or a sabbath day. These are but a shadow of things to come, but the substance is of Christ. (Col. 2:16-17)                           For the Kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness, and peace and joy in the Holy spirit. (Romans 14:17) 

                                             

Jesus Christ is the lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. For he is the only One who can. For He is the Word that was in the beginning with God and was God.   All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. (John 1:1-3) According to the flesh, Christ came, who is over all, the eternally blessed God. Amen. (Romans 9:5)  He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.  For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him.  And He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together (Col 1:15-17)                                              

Those who have the Son have life. Those who have not the Son do not have life. But the wrath of God abides on them. (1 John 5:12; John 3:36) And all God's chosen people, by grace through faith--a gift from God--not of works, wait for His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead, even Jesus who delivers us from the wrath to come.

Good works (so called) apart from faith, belief and trust in Jesus Christ  are but filthy rags (Is. 64:6)  As Jesus said, "without me you can do nothing." Nothing of intrinic value in the sight of a Holy, Righteous and Perfect God. The Father sent His Son Jesus Christ  not to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.  (John 3:17)

So I repeat let no one judge you in food or in drink, or regarding a festival or a new moon or sabbaths, which are a shadow of things to come, but the substance is of Christ. (Col. 2:16-17)

                                                 

   

The ceremonial laws of the Old Testament are referred to as shadows because they symbolically depicted the coming of Christ. So any insistence on the observance of such ceremonies is a failure to recognize that their fulfillment has already taken place. (NIV SB)  

Let not him who eats despise him who does not eat, and let not him who does not eat judge him who eats; for God has received him.  (Rom. 14)

Eating or not eating certain foods does not make you more or less a child of God. As Jesus the Christ said to His disciples and says to us "“Are you so dull?” Don’t you see that nothing that enters a person from the outside can defile them?  For it doesn’t go into their heart but into their stomach, and then out of the body.” (In saying this, Jesus declared all foods clean.) Then He added “What comes out of a man, that defiles a man.  For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,  thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lewdness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness. All these evil things come from within and defile a man.” (Mark 7:18-23)

                                                     

Jesus made it very plain there is no other way to be accepted By God than through Him. At His crucifixion Jesus was asked by Pilate  "Are You the King of the Jews?” Jesus answered him, “Are you speaking for yourself about this, or did others tell you this concerning Me?” Pilate answered, “Am I a Jew? Your own nation and the chief priests have delivered You to me. What have You done?” Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight, so that I should not be delivered to the Jews; but now My kingdom is not from here.” Pilate therefore said to Him, “Are You a king then?”Jesus answered, “You say rightly that I am a king. For this cause I was born, and for this cause I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice.” Pilate said to Him, “What is truth?” And when he had said this, he went out again to the Jews, and said to them, “I find no fault in Him at all."(John 18)

The perfect, sinless, faultless  Son of God obeyed His Father, came down from His heavenly throne and willingly became a man in order to pay the price for humanities sins and by grace through faith in Him, restore to a right relationship with God those who are born again, born from above,  not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. (John 1:13)

                                                         

The ceremonial  laws are fulfilled completely in Him.  For all of it was a shadow of what God's Son would do and accomplish at the cross. The ceremonial law pointed to the Messiah Jesus, the Way, the Truth and the Life. No One comes to the Father except through Him. Good works do not count toward one's salvation. They are a result of it. For Jesus did not come to destroy the law and the prophets. But to fullfill it.  

 It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery. (Gal. 5:1)

So let no one judge you in food or in drink, or regarding a festival or a new moon or Sabbath Day, which are a shadow of things to come, but the substance is of Christ. (Col. 2:16-17)

The early church suffered from the intrusion of those that insisted that something else had to be added to one's faith, some secret knowledge, or ritual in order to complete salvation. And there are those today who insist on the same things. That something besides faith including abstaining some certain foods or worshipping on a  sabbath saturday.  They can become a stumbling stone to God's truth. And become the means by which they believe they are justified.   

The apostle Paul told the church in his letter to the Galatians  "I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. I do not set aside the grace of God; for if righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died in vain.”   Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”), that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. Therefore the law was our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.  But after faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.  And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.      (Gal 2:20-21; 3:13-14; 24-29)                                            The ceremonial laws have been fulfilled in Christ but what about the moral aspect of the law?  Jesus Himself said, "If you love me keeps my commandments." We are told to love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength. And Love your neighbor as yourself. Love does no harm to a neighbor. Love is the fulfillment of the law.                                                                                       Under the New Covenant we don’t keep the moral law to be saved, but because we are saved. We desire to live a Holy life. To walk worthy of our call. To let our light so shine in this fallen world, that people may see our good works and glorify our Father in heaven.                                                                          But If you fail in those endeavors apply 1 John 1:9...and strive to do better in your Christian walk. Where once you went with the flow of the world. You now swim upstream encountering all manner of currents that temp you away from obedience to Christ. But God is faithful and will never leave you nor forsake you. For if you confess with your mouth, Jesus is Lord  and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead. You will be saved. From the wrath of God that is coming on the whole world and unto eternal life. A citizenship in heaven  where there will be no more mourning, or crying or pain for all will be renewed in the new heavens and earth where righteousness dwells. For God is faithful and just to forgive you your sin and cleanse you from all unrighteousness.
