Most of the "protestant church" hold onto the words of the apostle Paul like they mean more that the words of the Messiah although I never knew how much until last night in a "christian" youtube livestream. I was floored by what I heard and what I saw from some of the people in the chat.
The teacher - Kenny Jacobs - taught that we did not have to obey Yahweh's instructions because we are in "the dispensation of grace". Those in the chat affirmed that. When Matthew 7:21-23 was brought up, those in the chat stated "Matthew was written to the Jews - we only need to obey what is in Paul's epistles". Seriously??? Of course, they did not mean how Paul meant his epistles to be interpreted but how they are twisted to mean they do not have to obey what Yahweh said to do - something totally opposite of what Paul clearly taught. These people have twisted scripture and made the apostle Paul into their messiah because they do not love Yahweh or Messiah Yeshua. They are listening to serpent twisted scripture - "has God really said?"I have recently written posts going into most of this already so please read those more a more in depth look in how the words of the apostle Paul are twisted by the rebellious God hating people to mean something he did not intend - as Peter clearly states in his letter:
2 Peter 3
14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.
15 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;
16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.
17 Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.
The apostle Paul's letters are not to be considered on their own because they are NOT the complete scripture. Paul's letters are part of scripture but was never meant to be all inclusive of the doctrines of the gentiles. ALL scripture is to be used for doctrine not just what the apostle Paul wrote. Those who claim they only have to follow the words of the apostle Paul and can believe they can ignore what Yahweh said in the old testament and can ignore what Messiah Yeshua or any of the other writers of the new testament said are thoroughly deceived and have made the apostle Paul into a god of their own imagination.
When the apostle Paul wrote his letters, the ONLY scripture was the old testament. While the books of the new testament were written before 120 AD, they were not codified until 200+ years later (there is different councils that put together the new testament although that is suffice for what I'm showing here) so while Paul's writings are part of the new testament, they were not part of the new testament until centuries later when the new testament was codified / put together.
The scripture the apostle Paul was referring to was the old testament because that was the only scripture they had at the time he wrote this!
2 Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
When the apostle Paul was teaching the Bereans, they searched the old testament to see if what he was teaching was true or not (the new testament had not been written / codified yet). Note that gentiles are included here not just Jews. If Paul had spoken against the old testament (the only scripture they had at the time), they would have rejected Paul and his message.
Acts 17
10 And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews.
11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.
12 Therefore many of them believed; also of honourable women which were Greeks, and of men, not a few.
When Paul wrote his letters - that was exactly what they were: letters to people and to the fellowships. These letters, while containing instructions for us today, were addressing issues in those fellowships and must be taken in the context those letters were written otherwise those letters can be made to say opposite of what Paul meant when he wrote them - as Peter said in his letter quoted above.
Most of the apostle Paul worshipers do so because that is what they are taught by serpent / wolf pastors who taught it because that was what they were taught. Most are ignorant of the true history of the early church and although I have written about it before, I'll summarize it here again.
Up until the bar Kokhba revolt in 135AD, the greeks worshiped in the synagogues. The followers of Messiah Yeshua, both Jew and gentile, worshiped inthe Synagogues on the Sabbath along with those - both Jew and gentile - who did not accept Yeshua as their Messiah. After the Synagogue service on the Sabbath,, the believers then met for fellowship and to learn of Yeshua. In the evening after Sabbath ended (at sunset), the believers met in each others homes for fellowship and for a meal.
During the bar kokhba revolt, the unbelieving Jews claimed bar Kokhba was the Messiah and forced those who worshiped in the Synagogues with them to accept bar Kokhba as the messiah. Because the believers knew Yeshua was the Messiah and not bar Kokhba, that is when the believers left the Synagogues and started the churches. This is when the "church" lost the Jewishness and ended up compromising with constantine and incorporsting paganism in about ~300AD.
Most of what was the "church" was a mixture of paganism and scripture which became the catholic church. The "reformation" in the 16th century "reformed" a few of the pagan elements that the "reformers" disagreed with while leaving many more of them intact. What should have been done is a RESTORATION becak to the early church beliefs. While Yahweh has always had a remnant of true believers, the RESTORATION movement has been happening and many are returning to the true faith of following Messiah Yeshua's instructions of Obeying Yahweh's instructions. Messiah Yeshua is the Messiah and is The One TRUE Christians are to listen to - not the words of Paul they twist to mean what they want them to mean.
When brought up in the Kenny Jacob's fellowship that Messiah Yeshua's sheep hear His voice and FOLLOW HIM - Kenny Jacobs and those in the chat said "the Jews are Jesus' sheep and christians only have to follow what Paul said in his epistles". WOW - that is when I left --- these people are disobedient rebels who have no love of Yahweh.
These verses show that Kenny Jacobs and those who reject Messiah Yeshua's teachings in favor of what they believe the apostle Paul wrote are DECEIVED and are LOST
John 10
16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.
John 10
26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.
27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
Here are a few verses about Paul or written by Paul. The last few blog posts I went in depth on the ones the rebellious love to twist and take out of context so please read those posts to see what Paul meant when he stated one esteem one day over another, do not let people judge you because you now observe Yahweh;s dietary rules, Sabbath, and His feast days, etc.
Colossians 1:10 That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;
Colossians 2
6 As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him:
7 Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.
8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
Acts 18:4 And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks.
Acts 20:21 Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.
Acts 26
19 Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision:
20 But shewed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judaea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance.
In speaking about being grafted into Messiah Yeshua among the natural branches, the apostle Paul states gentiles were to abide in God's goodness or they would be cut off.
Romans 11:22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.
The apostle Paul states that the natural branches are the Jewish people who are following Messiah Yeshua and the gentiles are the wild olive branches. The difference is the native olive branches grew up at least knowing, if not observing, Yahweh's instructions (plus, most likely, the rabbinic fences I discussed in the post right before this one) and the wild branches would need to partake in the nourishment and feeding of the root to form a strong graft which will then produce the fruit of the Holy Spirit - olive oil is produced from the olive tree!
Romans 11
23 And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again.
24 For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be graffed into their own olive tree?
Once again - Yeshua is the Messiah of both Jew and gentile. If you belong to Messiah Yeshua, you FOLLOW HIM and OBEY HIM and reject such foolishness that the apostle Paul's writings that are twisted to mean the opposite of what he was teaching is the only thing you need to follow.
This is what Messiah Yeshua said. Contrary to what the Kenny Jacob's "fellowship" and his followers believe and teach, Messiah Yeshua will REJECT those who do not OBEY Yahweh's instructions in spite of everything they claim to be doing "for Him".
Matthew 7
21 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.
22 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?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.G458
