You are not fooling me and if I wanted to listen to religious man then I would have remained a member of the Roman Catholic church and an unbeliever who was "religious" but not right with God.
I see very little difference between your religion and that of the Catholic church. You may have changed the name, but much of your preaching remains the same.
Just because Romans 1:17 says "the righteousness of God is revealed" and ends with "the just shall live by faith" and Habakkuk 2:4 says "the just shall live by faith" does not mean the Gospel of Christ that Paul preached (Romans 1:16; 1 Corinthians 15:1-4) is preached in Habakkuk 2:4 and all throughout the Old Testament. Can you show me the word "Gospel" in the Old Testament? Only one spirit would want to pervert the Gospel and it isn't the Spirit of Christ (Galatians 1:6-9).
Can you show me one place in the Old Testament where the term "Old Testament" exists? I do not pervert the Gospel of Christ, I just don't believe in your gospel because you preach so many things that are false.
The "just shall live by faith" is true of all believers, but is not the specific "good news" of the death, burial and resurrection of Christ (Romans 1:16; 1 Corinthians 15:1-4) and that the Gentiles should be fellow heirs, of the same body, and partakers of His promise in Christ through the Gospel (Ephesians 3:6) that Paul preached. That is not preached in the Old Testament because it was still a mystery (Ephesians 3:1-9).
The preaching that the Messiah would be a lowly, unattractive common man, that would teach true Salvation to both the Jews and the Gentiles was first preached by the Word which became Flesh through His Prophets in what Paul taught is the Gospel of Christ. The teaching that He and His Words would be despised by religious man, and ridiculed and mocked and murdered by those who claimed to be God's Children was first taught by the Word which became Flesh through His Prophets of old.
Your preaching:
that the Gentiles should be fellow heirs, of the same body, and partakers of His promise in Christ through the Gospel (Ephesians 3:6) that Paul preached. That is not preached in the Old Testament because it was still a mystery
Is yet another example or your false gospel with it's false doctrines one right after another..
This is why I warn people against your religion MMD. Because it is your gospel, not the one Paul taught. For you to preach that the Word which became Flesh didn't teach about salvation for the Gentiles through the Law and Prophets is not true as the following scriptures clearly show.
Is. 11:
10 And in that day there shall be
a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people;
to it shall the Gentiles seek: and
his rest shall be glorious.
Is. 42:
1 Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect,
in whom my soul delighteth;
I have put my spirit upon him:
he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.2 He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street.
3 A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench:
he shall bring forth judgment unto truth.
4 He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set judgment in the earth:
and the isles shall wait for his law.
6 I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people,
for a light of the Gentiles;
7 To
open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison,
and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.
Is. 54:
2 Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes;
3 For thou shalt break forth on the right hand and on the left;
and thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited.
Is. 60:
1 Arise, shine;
for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee.
2 For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee,
and his glory shall be seen upon thee.
3 And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of
thy rising. (Resurrection)
Is. 66:
12 For thus saith the LORD,
Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the Gentiles like a flowing stream: then shall ye suck, ye shall be borne upon
her sides, and be dandled upon
her knees.
13 As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you;
and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem.
Jer. 16:
19 O LORD, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction,
the Gentiles shall come unto thee from the ends of the earth,
and shall say, Surely our fathers
have inherited lies, vanity, and
things wherein
there is no profit.
You preach these Word's don't exist in the Law and Prophets. To the blind they don't.
Eph. 3:
5 Which in other ages
was not made knownunto the
sons of men, as
it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and
prophets by the Spirit;
6 That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body,
and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:
The Gospel, Old Testament writings.
Luke 24:
25 Then he said unto them, O fools,
and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken:
26 Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?
27 And beginning at Moses and all the prophets,
he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.
The Word which became Flesh teaches us that this mystery was revealed by the Spirit. It was there in the Gospel of Christ as the above scriptures clearly teach, but was not revealed to the
"SONS OF MEN".
You are the perfect example of this. The scriptures I posted are in your Bible, you have read them over and over. But to this day you have not "seen" them. To the point that your are still preaching they are not there. Paul, before His Conversion, did not "SEE" them either. Because they were not revealed to him until his conversion.
But Zechariahs knew of this mystery.
Luke 1:
5 There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife
was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name
was Elisabeth.
6 And they were both righteous before God,
walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.
Luke 1:
67 And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Ghost, and prophesied, saying,
68 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for
he hath visited and redeemed his people,
69 And hath
raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David;
70 As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began:
78 Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring
from on high hath visited us,
79 To
give light to
them that sit in darkness and
in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.
There were others who knew Him as well.
1 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,
2 Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east,
and are come to worship him.
You might ask yourself why did these wise men and Zechariahs know who Jesus was but the Pharisees that you preach were trying to earn salvation by following God's Laws did not. Sadly most will just ignore the very relevant post and work to defend their own religious preaching, and save their own face, regardless of what the scriptures teach.
If you can't come to terms regarding your false preaching in this matter, there is no use commenting on your other words.
