False grace and the downfall of America (and the rest of the world)

Within "christianity", there are numerous interpretations of the biblical definition of 'grace'.  The views are so widespread from those that believe there is no grace outside of their works to those who believe in "hyper-grace" where there is so much grace because of Yeshua's death and resurrection that they do not even need to repent of their sins because "they are already covered" explaining "Jesus died for all sins past, present, future so there is no need to repent of the sins He already forgave".

Most of so-called "christianity" pick and choose what parts of the bible they believe.  Some "christians" only believe the New Testament is for "christians" and others - the "Paul worshipers" (hyper dispensationalists) believe the only scripture they need to obey is the apostle Paul's writings from Romans through Philemon.  Of course, the Paul worshipers twist Paul's words to make it say what they want it to say as Peter said they would do.

2 Peter 3
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 G113, fall from your own stedfastness.

Strongs G113 Athesmos, translated as wicked, means lawless.  Lawless means breaking Yahweh's instructions (AKA Torah or "The Law")

Most "christians" have no clue what the bible says because they never read it - or pick and choose what they read - for themselves.  Instead, most "christians" believe and accept as fact what their "pastors" and youtube "gurus" tells them what the bible says - and oftentimes, scripture is twisted to prove that "pastor" or guru's false doctrines such as Once Saved Always Saved (OSAS).    I grew up attending a baptist church and know all too well about the OSAS doctrine of demons and how it has shipwrecked the faith of millions of people.

The bible needs to be taken in its entirety to understand what Yahweh expects of His people, who His people are, what Messiah Yeshua's earthly mission was, and how all of it fits together.  Nothing in scripture - from Genesis through Revelation - contradicts other parts of scripture.  If there was a contradiction, it would mean the bible is not infallible and calls into question the infallibility of the rest of scripture.  Where there seems to be a contradiction, then there is a misinterpretation and we understand this from Luke's writing in Acts where the Bereans examined what the apostle Paul taught them and compared his teachings with the Old testament (the ONLY scripture that had been written at the time) and made sure there was no contradiction before they accepted Paul's teachings about Messiah Yeshua.

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.

Throughout the Old Testament, Yahweh sets His instructions for His people.  This started after Adam and Eve sinned and Yahweh killed animal(s) to cover their sin.  Cain and Abel knew about sacrifice where Abel brought an animal sacrifice and the fat (the best parts) to sacrifice to Yahweh - a blood sacrifice to cover his sin.  Cain offered vegetables and we can surmise a couple differerent reasons why it was not acceptable both due to disobedience:

1)  Cain's sacrifice was not accepted because he did not offer the best vegetables and only offered the lowest quality.  This happened later in the old testament where Ancient israel offered blind and lame lambs instead of the best.
or
2)  Cain's sacrifice was of his own work and he did not also bring a blood sacrifice to cover his sins.  While vegetables and grain was an accepted sacrifice to Yahweh when His laws were given to Moses, the grain sacrifice was an offering and did not cover sin and was to be offered along with the blood sacrifce which covered the sin of the offerer.

Genesis 4
3  And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD.
4  And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering:
5  But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.
6  And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen?
7  If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.

Many people teach the law was "for the Jews" and "we are under the new covenant so we do not need to stop sinning", etc.  We know what sin is:  it is defined as breaking Yahweh's instructions (IE: "The Law" / Torah) so those that teach we do not need to obey Yahweh's instructions (Torah) are stating we do not need to stop sinning.

1 John 3:4  Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.

 I have shown in previous posts that "the law" and the need for a blood sacrifice to cover sin was required - from the time that Yahweh covered Adam and Eve with skins of animal(s), Cain and Abel, Noah, Job, Abraham, etc. and even Moses BEFORE he was given they knew the need of a blood sacrifice to cover sin.

Exodus 5:3  And they said, The God of the Hebrews hath met with us: let us go, we pray thee, three days' journey into the desert, and sacrifice unto the LORD our God; lest he fall upon us with pestilence, or with the sword.

When the law was re-given to Moses at Mt. Sinai, Yahweh clearly stated the gentiles who left Egypt and that were grafted into Yahweh  with Israel were to obey the very same laws as the native born.  Notice that even the animals were to be given the Sabbath off from working - so to argue "it is for the Jews" is proven to be a lie even if those who make that claim come up with a reasoning why it does not apply to them.

Exodus 20:10  But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:

To make it clear that there is one law for both Jew and gentile:

Numbers 15
15  One ordinance shall be both for you of the congregation, and also for the stranger that sojourneth with you, an ordinance for ever in your generations: as ye are, so shall the stranger be before the LORD.
16  One law and one manner shall be for you, and for the stranger that sojourneth with you.

The apostle Paul shows this with his discussion about the Olive Tree.  The native branches who grew up knowing the law who accept Yeshua as their Messiah are  partaking of The Root (Yeshua) and the gentiles who did not grow up knowing the law are grafted in and learn the law of Yahweh and abide in the goodness of The Root (Yeshua) when they accept Yeshua as their Messiah.  Both are nourished and bare fruit - olives - and they produce Good Fruit which is of the Holy Spirit - Olive Oil

Romans 11
16  For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.
17  And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree;
18  Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.
19  Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in.
20  Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:
21  For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee.
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.
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?
25  For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.

Notice the apostle Paul stated the gentiles come into the olive tree and become a part of the same tree as the native branches.

When Messiah Yeshua came and led a Torah observant life (IE: was sin free) He became our forever sacrifice for sin so our sins are atoned for when we do violate Yahweh's instructions - but that does not give us the license to continue to freely sin.

Jude 1
4  For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.
5  I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not.

Yeshua bodily resurrected the third day which showed He never sinned - violated Torah - and never spoke against Yahweh or Yahweh's instructions (Torah) otherwise He would never have been accepted as that final sin sacrifice fulfilling the law for sin sacrifice.

Most "christians" bad mouth "the law" (Torah) like it is a curse on them to obey what Yahweh says.  In a previous post, I discussed the difference between obeying the Torah as Yahweh gave it and the 'bondage of the law' that the rabbis have placed on it (rabbinic Judaism)  Now I will be showing you why "christians" rejecting Yahweh's instructions and following a false "christianity" (which will lead them to hell unless they repent) is why the United States (and other countries) will be judged by Yahweh.  While these so-called "christians" reject Yahweh's Torah, they have no problem with obeying the laws of their country .  Those "christians" in the United States defend the Constitution yet claim Yahweh's instructions are not for them.  These so-called "christians" want the Ten Commandments displayed and are horrified when they are removed even though they reject the commandment to observe Yahweh's Sabbath day (and it is NOT sunday)

Yahweh is allowing the laws of countries that protect morality and decency to be changed and allowing the reprobate minds because the "christians" reject what He says so He is allowing the countries to make laws that violate His rules.

"christians" do not want homosexual marriages, drug abuse, abortions, etc. to be legal yet Yahweh had rules about these that "christians" claim "is not for them" because "we are under graaace not the laaaaw".  If "christians" do not want to obey what Yahweh says, He will let those laws be changed by secular government.

Here are Yahweh's instructions about marriage and sexuality that "christians" claim they do not have to obey because "christians are under graaace not the laaaaw.  Many of these "christians" are upset the secular governments are changing these laws yet at the same time they claim they do not have to obey the Torah which is where these laws originated from!

The reason why Yahweh has allowed immorality is because "christians" claim they do not have to obey Yahweh's instructions so He is giving them what they want - an immoral violent society.  If they refuse to obey Yahweh's instructions claiming "we don't have to" He will let the wicked change the secular laws from His to theirs.

Many "christians" are disturbed by the legal system creating immoral laws (Yahweh's laws THEY claim they do not have to obey) yet it is what they want - they REFUSE to obey Yahweh's instructions so He will allow the secular government to change secular laws based on Torah to what the wicked want.  Why do these "christians" object since they believe they do not have to obey Yahweh's laws?  Why do they want them in the government if they refuse to obey them when Yahweh says to obey them???  Here is some of Yahweh's laws that "christians" refuse to obey yet they are upset when the very same secular laws are being changed by the secular government.

• A judge must not pervert justice by rendering his own opinion. He must judge according to Yahweh's Laws. (Leviticus 19:15)
• A judge must not accept bribes. (Exodus 23:8)

• A judge must not be afraid to give Righteous Judgment. (Deuteronomy 1:17)
• A judge must not show partiality to the poor. (Leviticus 19:15)
• A judge must not deny justice to the poor in his lawsuit. (Exodus 23:6)
• A judge must not show pity to the guilty. (Deuteronomy 19:11-13, 21)
• A judge must not pervert the justice due to the stranger or the fatherless. (Deuteronomy 24:17)

False "christians" who claim they do not have to obey Yahweh's instructions should not be surprised when He allows the wicked to change the laws from His laws and morality standards to the worldly wicked laws.   Unfortunately, this will lead to the judgment of the nations that reject Yahweh's laws.  Just like secular government laws, not all of Yahweh's instructions are for everyone.  Some laws are for just for men, some are just for women, some just for priests, and some for how the legal system is suppose to be set up. 

Here is a list of the 613 laws Yahweh expects His people to obey:  https://www.gospeloutreach.net/613laws.html .  Messiah Yeshua fulfilled the sacrificial laws for sin sacrifice and other offerings cannot be carried out until the temple is rebuilt in the millennial kingdom but this does not negate observing Yahweh's instructions that we CAN observe.  Messiah Yeshua said that we are to love God and the definition of loving God is to OBEY what He says in His Torah.  Those who belong to Messiah Yeshua KNOW His voice and FOLLOW / OBEY Him

Deuteronomy 6:5  And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.

Deuteronomy  7:9  Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations;

A thousand generations is over 40,000 years

Deuteronomy 11:1  Therefore thou shalt love the LORD thy God, and keep his charge, and his statutes, and his judgments, and his commandments, alway.

Mark 12:30  And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.

1 John 5:3  For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.

John 10
27  My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:
28  And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
29  My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. 
30  I and my Father are one.

Messiah Yeshua said that He will reject "christians" that claim to be following Him and "doing things for Him" if they do not OBEY the Torah.

1 John 3:4  Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.

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

Strong's number G458 iniquity (transliterated as anomia)   :
anomia
1) the condition of without law
     a) because ignorant of it
     b) because of violating it
2) contempt and violation of law, iniquity, wickedness

John 14:15  If ye love me, keep my commandments.

John 14:23  Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.

John 15:10  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.

1 John 2
3  And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
4  He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

Converting people to a false "christianity"

Many "christians" know that catholics, mormons, a Jehovah's witnesses are not Christian but they are ignorant of the deception of false conversions to a false "mainstream Christianity".  Most deny it because they are a part of this false broad road {to hell] mainstream "christianity" that has deceived the masses.

From the start of Creation, Yahweh expected obedience from His creation.  Adam and Eve were given charge to not eat the fruit (probably a pomegranate) from the tree of good and evil.  They ate.  Cain and Abel knew the sacrifices Yahweh expected of them.  Cain disobeyed. 

Genesis 3
1  Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
2  And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
3  But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
4  And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
5  For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
6  And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.

Genesis 4
3  And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD.
4  And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering:
5  But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.

Most "christans" claim that "the law is for the Jews" and "we are under graaaace, not the law" and "Jesus nailed it to the cross" although if his was true, Cain and Abel would not known to have sacrificed before Noah's flood and about 3,500 years before the law was re-given to Moses.  Job, a contemporary of Abraham long before Moses, also made sacrifices to Yahweh.

Job 1
4  And his sons went and feasted in their houses, every one his day; and sent and called for their three sisters to eat and to drink with them.
5  And it was so, when the days of their feasting were gone about, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all: for Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned, and cursed God in their hearts. Thus did Job continually.

Remember Noah also knew which animals were clean and unclean and took extra of the clean animals on the ark in order to offer sacrifices when the flood receded.

Genesis 7
2  Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female.
3  Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth.

Genesis 8
20  And Noah builded an altar unto the LORD; and took of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.
21  And the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done.

All throughout the old testament,  Yahweh repeatedly warned Ancient Israel against whoring after other "gods" and using pagan practices to worship Him.  I have posted about this many times and recommend you go and review previous posts.  Here are links to a few:

Most "christians" think that everyone who "names the name of Jesus" (who isn't catholic, mormon, Jehovah's witness of course) is saved if they "belong to a mainstream protestant church" but this is not so.  Most of the popular teachers and "prophets" are false and leading people to follow after false "gods" just as the false prophets of Ancient Israel did.  In Ancient Israel. the people thought they were following Yahweh when they followed their false prophets and false teachers - just like the multitude of "christians" believe they are following Yahweh when they listen to their false teachers and false prophets.  Just like in Ancient Israel, false "christians" deny they are following pagan ways and going after false "gods".

Jeremiah 2:23  How canst thou say: 'I am not defiled, I have not gone after the Baalim'? See thy way in the Valley, know what thou hast done; thou art a swift young camel traversing her ways;

Isaiah 30
9  That this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the LORD:
10  Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits:

2 Timothy 4
3  For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
4  And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
5  But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.

Many people "accept Jesus into their heart" but refuse to follow Yahweh's instructions.   They are taught - by their "pastors" that obedience is not necessary because "christians are under graaaaace, not the law".  Most do not question their pastors on this because they do not know better, do not read their bibles, and trust what their "pastors" teach them.  This is the very same thing as when Messiah Yeshua called out the pharisees for making their followers twice the hell bound sinners that they were:

Matthew 23
13  But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.
14  Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation.
15  Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.
16  Woe unto you, ye blind guides, which say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor!
17  Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold?
18  And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever sweareth by the gift that is upon it, he is guilty.
19  Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift?
20  Whoso therefore shall swear by the altar, sweareth by it, and by all things thereon.
21  And whoso shall swear by the temple, sweareth by it, and by him that dwelleth therein.
22  And he that shall swear by heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by him that sitteth thereon.
23  Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
24  Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel.
25  Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess.
26  Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also.
27  Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.
28  Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
29  Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous,
30  And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.
31  Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets.
32  Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.
33  Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?

There are many "pastors" and false teachers that heap to themselves followers who believe they are accepting "Jesus as Savior" but these

false teachers are making them into worse sinners than they are.  Most "pastors" claim you need to stop sinning and then claim you do not

need to "follow the law" yet sin IS DISOBEDIENCE OF THE LAW (Yahweh's laws, not mans laws)

1 John 3:4  Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.   (Yahweh's law - not man's law)

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     

Strong's number G458 iniquity (transliterated as anomia)   :
anomia
1) the condition of without law   (Yahweh's law - not man's law)
     a) because ignorant of it
     b) because of violating it
2) contempt and violation of law, iniquity, wickedness  (Yahweh's law - not man's law)

Messiah Yeshua says He will reject those who claim to be doing works for Him and in His name if they do not OBEY Yahweh yet most false "pastors" and "teachers" claim obeying Yahweh is "woooorks" and "we are under graaaace, not the law" to justify rebelling against Yahweh's laws and not obeying what He says those that love Him are to do.

Yahweh had Isaiah write of the end times about those who are rebellious against Him and His laws yet think they are "holier than those who obey Yahweh"

Isaiah 65
1  I am sought of them that asked not for me; I am found of them that sought me not: I said, Behold me, behold me, unto a nation that was not called by my name.
2  I have spread out my hands all the day unto a rebellious people, which walketh in a way that was not good, after their own thoughts;
3  A people that provoketh me to anger continually to my face; that sacrificeth in gardens, and burneth incense upon altars of brick;
4  Which remain among the graves, and lodge in the monuments, which eat swine's flesh, and broth of abominable things is in their vessels;
5  Which say, Stand by thyself, come not near to me; for I am holier than thou. These are a smoke in my nose, a fire that burneth all the day. 

and during the millennium

Isaiah 56
6  Also the sons of the stranger, that join themselves to the LORD, to serve him, and to love the name of the LORD, to be his servants, every one that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and taketh hold of my covenant;
7  Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people.

Again, Yahweh is the same yesterday, today, and forever so if He gave the law to Adam and Eve so that Cain and Abel knew to sacrifice and if there is a Sabbath keeping in the millennium (as well as free will sacrifices), then today He also expects obedience and Messiah will reject those who refuse to obey as shown in Matthew 7:21-23 above as well as in the following verses:

John14:15  If ye love me, keep my commandments.

John14:23  Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.

John15:10  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.

1 John 2
3  And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
4  He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

1 John 5
2  By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.
3  For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.

Revelation 14:12  Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

Revelation 12:17  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.

Do not whore after the false teachers and false prophets that are telling you ear tickling lies.  Their lies lead people into following a false "god" and even if they are accurate sometimes, it is a test by Yahweh to see if you love Him - and shown in previous verses: if you love Him, you will obey Him.  The false prophets and false teachers that are giving you the news you want to hear about Messiah Yeshua's soon return are seducing you down the broad road to hell.  Even if they are sometimes accurate, that is a test by Yahweh.

Deuteronomy 13
1  If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder,
2  And the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known, and let us serve them;
3  Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
:4  Ye shall walk after the LORD your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto him.

Do not be deceived by the numerous false prophets and false teachers.  Scripture repeatedly warns in the last days they will rise up to deceive - even the very elect if possible.

Matthew 24
24  For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
25  Behold, I have told you before.

False prophets: Election too close to call so make false prophcies that both sides will win

One thing false prophets do is to read what is going on around them and then make their false prophecies fit what they observe.  This is how most false prophets have scammed people out of millions of dollars.  This is no different than the U.S. presidential election.

Many false prophets have claimed Hillary would win while many others claimed Trump would win.  Many have changed their false prophecies based on the poll results over the campaign season.

Some devious false prophets claim "there are two streams of prophecy" and make claims that both candidates will win and give excuses in advance why the other candidate didn't.  What I cannot figure out is why so many people love the smooth sounding false prophets who obviously are telling them what they want to hear (while hedging their false prophecies in case they are wrong) People love the smooth sounding lies of the false prophets and have ever since satan lied to Even in the Garden.

A true prophet of Yahweh would give a definite prophecy - not hedge their prophecy in case it was wrong.  A true prophet of Yahweh would NEVER be wrong and would be 100% accurate as well as detailed in their prophecy.

One "Torah code" false prophet a few months ago claimed that "Trump wins, Hillary steals" and more recently used their divination to claim "their are two streams of prophecy" hedging their bet in case their false prophecy failed and the other candidate won.  This same false prophet did the very same thing in the last U.S. presidential election and also made false prophecies about the rapture being immediately after Ariel Sharon died (in january it will be three years since he passed away) yet the false prophet still has those who claim to be Yeshua's followers whore after him and his common-law wife (that he left his first wife and children for)

I'm writing this after the polls closed on the east coast and central U.S. and before they close on the West Coast and Alaska and Hawaii.  So far it is too early to say who won the election.  If Trump wins, the dominionists will continue to deceive people into believing the world will become a better place and if Hillary wins, there is international chatter that Russia will attack the U.S.  As I'm writing this, the news is stating that Russia will be attacking Aleppo, Syria within a few hours so we will be in for some turmoil regardless of who wins.

Yahweh is in control, none of this has surprised Him, and whoever wins the election is His choice for the united states regardless of what the dominionists claim.  My belief is that if Hillary is elected, the church will be divided - the wheat who trusts Yahweh from the tares who trusts in their false dominionist leaders.

The rapture is at hand - I'm a bit surprised it was not before the election although it is Yahweh's timing and may be as the missiles are flying when Russia and/or China and/or North Korea attacks.  A couple of places in the Old Testament it says the righteous are taken away and none understand they are taken away from what is about to happen.  The verse in Thessalonians that states those left behind will believe a strong delusion that they will believe the lie can also refer to this.

Isaiah 57:1  The righteous perisheth (H6) , and no man layeth it to heart: and merciful men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil to come.
***
Micah 7
1  Woe is me! for I am as the last of the summer fruits, as the grape gleanings of the vintage; there is no cluster to eat; nor first-ripe fig which my soul desireth.
2  The godly man is perished (H6) out of the earth, and the upright among men is no more; they all lie in wait for blood; they hunt every man his brother with a net.
3  Their hands are upon that which is evil to do it diligently; the prince asketh, and the judge is ready for a reward; and the great man, he uttereth the evil desire of his soul; thus they weave it together.
4  The best of them is as a brier; the most upright is worse than a thorn hedge; the day of thy watchmen, even thy visitation, is come; now shall be their perplexity.
5  Trust ye not in a friend, put ye not confidence in a familiar friend; keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom.
Mic 7:6  For the son dishonoureth the father, the daughter riseth up against her mother, the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; a man's enemies are the men of his own house.
7  'But as for me, I will look unto the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation; my God will hear me.
Mic 7:8  Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy; though I am fallen, I shall arise; though I sit in darkness, the LORD is a light unto me.
9  I will bear the indignation of the LORD, because I have sinned against Him; until He plead my cause, and execute judgment for me; He will bring me forth to the light, and I shall behold His righteousness.


Strongs H6 for perish means disappears / vanishes and by context is how it is used in Isaiah 57:1 

2 Thessalonians 2
10  And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
2Th 2:11  And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
2Th 2:12  That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.  

Who should Christians vote for?

Matthew 6:24  No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. 

Many professing "christians" claim that "christians need to vote because we can't allow another four years of obama / clinton politics"   They are trusting in their own selves and the "power" of the "christian vote" to place people into office who THEY believe is "better" and the "right choice".  Most of these "christians" are dominionists or are influenced by the dominionists who believe they have to make the world "good enough" in order for Messiah Yeshua to return - yet many of these same dominionists have an opposing view that "christians" do not have to stop sinning to be saved - they teach against Torah and are anti-Torah.  One so called "christian pastor" claims the only "unforgivable sin" is OBEYING Torah and has deceivbe  millions.

1John 3:4  Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.

Messiah Yeshua said He will REJECT those so-called "christians" who claim to be doing things "for Him" if they do not obey the Torah:

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

Strong's number G458 iniquity (transliterated as anomia)   :

John14:15  If ye love me, keep my commandments.

John14:23  Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.

John15:10  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.

1 John 2
3  And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
4  He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

1 John 5
2  By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.
3  For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. 

And for those left behind:

Revelation 14:12  Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

Revelation 12:17  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.

Those "christian" leaders who support donald trump for president are doing so because they believe "it is better than the alternative" as if they know Yahweh's plan and His will regarding the election.  Those who support hillary clinton have absolutely no discernment and are supporting someone who is obviously part of the antichrist system.

Remember, the church was behind hitler's rise to power and even though hitler lost the election, it was because of the church's backing that hitler was appointed chancellor and then rose to power when the elected president passed away (from age related issues)

Yahweh does NOT need the help of ANYONE to place someone into power and a political election may very well be a test by Yahweh just as false prophets are a test:

 Deuteronomy 13
1  If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder,
2  And the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known, and let us serve them;
3  Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
4  Ye shall walk after the LORD your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto him.

In the bible, Abraham was given a promise by Yahweh to have a son even though he and his wife, Sarah, had not been able to have any children.  Because Sarah was old and Yahweh's promise had not come to pass after years of waiting, Sarah gave Abraham Hagar in order to have a son with a surrogate thinking this had to have been Yahweh's plan.  The resulting son from Hagar was Ishmael and we are still dealing with Ishmael's descendants today (the arabs)  Yahweh DID give Abraham a son through Sarah 13 years later:  Isaac who both King David and Messiah Yeshua descended from.

This is the very end of the end times and Yahweh is not placing people into power to bless any nation; He is placing them into power to carry out His end times plan - the prophecies He gave to us in scripture.  Do not be deceived into believing america will become great again or any political leader will be america's savior - there is ONE Savior and His name is Yeshua, not donald.

Trust in Yahweh and His ability to place whoever HE chooses into office.  If you place your trust in a political candidate to save you, it is showing your lack of trust in Yahweh.  Even if donald trump is not elected, the support by so many dominionists / false "christians" may propel him into a power far greater than the presidency just as it did for hitler (or not - I do not know Yahweh's plans - I just see similarities between hitler and trump and the church's backing of both candidates and both running on a platform of making their country great again)

My vote?  I Trust Yahweh to place His person into office for His plans and His purposes.  I will not vote.

The myth of the "black moon" - a false "sign"

1 Timothy 4
1  Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
2  Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;

2 Timothy 4
3  For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
4  And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
5  But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.

Recently there has been some talk of the "black moon" is a "sign" of Yeshua's soon return.  The term "black moon" is from wicca and refers to two new moons in one calendar month.  This is one of four common definitions of the "black moon"  and all hold significance in pagan religions.  https://www.timeanddate.com/astronomy/moon/black-moon.html

While Yahweh commanded us to celebrate the New Moon every month and while Yeshua's return is extremely near, the "black moon" is NOT a sign from Yahweh.  Yahweh's time keeping is by the new moon and a new moon is what starts one of His given months (and is why He wants us to observe the new moon) and by Yahweh's calendar, there can NEVER be two new moons in one month.  The only calendar two new moons can occur in a single month is a calendar from pagan origins.  This is the same as a "blue moon" which can only happen on pagan originated calendars and not Yahweh's calendar.

Those who give significance to this so called "black moon" are doing so because it tickles their itchy ears.  The "black moon" as defined as two new moons in a month is not as rare as the media and false prophet hype make it out to be - the previous TWO were  in 2014 : january 30, and march 30 :  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_moon  Again, this can only happen on a pagan calendar, not Yahweh's calendar, and has NO significance to those who obey Yahweh.

Yeshua's followers need to be leery of anyone claiming something as a "sign" because many people are trying to deceive and stumble Yeshua's followers in these very last of the last days.  Yeshua said there would be signs in the sun, the moon, and the stars but  since this definition of a "black moon" mocks Yahweh and His calendar, it is not one of them.

Numbers 28
11  And in your new moons ye shall present a burnt-offering unto the LORD: two young bullocks, and one ram, seven he-lambs of the first year without blemish;
12  and three tenth parts of an ephah of fine flour for a meal-offering, mingled with oil, for each bullock; and two tenth parts of fine flour for a meal-offering, mingled with oil, for the one ram;
13  and a several tenth part of fine flour mingled with oil for a meal-offering unto every lamb; for a burnt-offering of a sweet savour, an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
14  And their drink-offerings shall be half a hin of wine for a bullock, and the third part of a hin for the ram, and the fourth part of a hin for a lamb. This is the burnt-offering of every new moon throughout the months of the year.

1 Samuel 20:5  And David said unto Jonathan: 'Behold, to-morrow is the new moon, when I should sit with the king to eat; so let me go, that I may hide myself in the field unto the third day at even.

And in the millennium, the New Moon as well as the Sabbath will be celebrated:

Isaiah 66:23  And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before Me, saith the LORD.

and in the verse that rebellious people love to twist to justify their rebellion against Yahweh:

Colossians 2
16  Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of a feast day or a new moon or a sabbath day:
17  which are a shadow of the things to come; but the body is Christ's.

This verse the apostle Paul is not telling the former pagans, now Christians, living in a pagan society of Colossae that they can rebel against Yahweh - he was telling them to not let their pagan friends and family judge them because they were now obeying Yahweh's feasts - and dietary instructions -  which are the shadow of things to come.  Since they were pagans, their pagan friends and family would not have judged them for observing the pagan feasts and eating pagan foods - but they would judge them for keeping Yahweh's feasts and His dietary instructions .  This is proven because Paul mentions what Yahweh expects of His people: to observe His dietary instructions, His feasts, His New Moons, and His Sabbath

Tomorrow, september 30, 2016, is not special because it is a "black moon" and the "black moon" is NOT a sign of Yeshua's very soon return because it is NOT based on Yahweh's given calendar  BUT it is a New Moon and is the start of Yahweh's instructed Sabbath as well as the start of the feast of trumpets so tomorrow IS a very exciting day we are to celebrate.  Yes, the pagan calendar says the Feast of Trumpets starts sunday but that is not when Yahweh says it starts.

Watch and be ready because you do not know when Yeshua is going to return or when your last heart beat will be.The time to repent is NOW.  If you do not repent, you may be like the five foolish virgins and be left behind OR even worse, may end up in hell for eternity because you were deceived into rejecting Messiah Yeshua by refusing to follow Yahweh's instructions.  If you are Yeshua's sheep, you FOLLOW and OBEY Him.

1 John 3:4  Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.

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

South American orange groves

Before I went back to college in 2007, I owned a nursery business in which I grew all sorts of culinary herbs, some [legal] medicinal herbs (such as goldenseal and ginseng)  as well as well as unusual fruit and berry plants.  I sold my plants at local farmers markets and wholesale to other nurseries.   I loved reading about plant growing and propagation practices.  Today Yahweh reminded me about one article I read:

Years ago, there were numerous orange groves in South America where there was plenty of water for irrigation.  All except for one of the orchard owners liberally watered their orange groves and produced plentiful crops of lush oranges.  The one orchard owner limited the water his orange grove received even though he had access to plenty of water.  This orange grower produced crops that were of high quality but due to lack of water, his harvest was not as big as the other orange growers.

After several years of bountiful crops of oranges, there was a drought and limited water for the orange groves.  The orange growers that had watered their oranges liberally watched in horror their orange trees shrivel up and become diseased.  The orange grower that had limited the water to his oranges had prepared his trees for drought by limiting their water in time of plenty.  His oranges survived and continued as much as they had always did before and none of his trees became diseased due to the stress of lack of water.

Pampering plants results in weak and diseased plants and it is the same with people.  In time of plenty if people get everything they want without having to work for it, they are not prepared for when times are tough and when trials hit, they whither and die.  Unfortunately there are numerous number of parents who give their children everything they never had and their children cannot face the world when things do not go their way.  In my day, these children were called spoiled brats.  Because these children never learned to deal with the pains and disappointments of growing up, many of them melt when things do not go their way.  Some of these children were so protected the stress and normal ordeals is too much for them and some turn to drugs, sex, or even suicide still others cannot cope with the real world and turn towards expressing it through abnormal gender identities or other destructive behaviors.

What brought this to mind was this morning listening to the local news on a Christian radio station that stated that a local high school was going to do away with the traditional homecoming king and queen this year and have it set up so any of the students can be the king or queen.  WOW - these children need to learn to deal with disappointment and need to learn that things do not always go their way and they need to learn to deal with rejections and disappointments.  Instead society cultivates abnormal personality disorders such as narcissism.

The college I attend, I see younger college students that come in unprepared for college because they were used to getting good grades without having to work for them.  Instead of failing students and requiring a passing grade, most U.S. schools are now graduating kids who have none of the skills needed to work and survive in the world.  Many of the students I have seen would not pass a class in basic skills just a few years ago.  The blame is not only the education system but also the parents that insist their children pass (and get good grades) even when their child has not done passing work.  This is preparing their children for failure and is not beneficial or fair to their child.  Passing grades in school were not meant to be "participation ribbons" - they were meant to be earned.

What I have seen in my return to college a year ago is saddening.  I see kids that have graduated high school with good grades not being able to handle the simplest tasks that I had learned in elementary school.  These kids will not survive when faced with tribulation.

Some christians ask why those who belong to Yeshua suffer trials and the above is, in part, why:  We face trials to strengthen us for when there are times of persecution and trials.  Trials strengthen and prove us as belonging to Messiah Yeshua and prove our faith is genuine.  If Yahweh would give us everything we want, we would not be strong enough to face trials that the world brings on us. 

1 Peter 1
5  Meanwhile, through trusting, you are being protected by God's power for a deliverance ready to be revealed at the Last Time.
6  Rejoice in this, even though for a little while you may have to experience grief in various trials.
7  Even gold is tested for genuineness by fire. The purpose of these trials is so that your trust's genuineness, which is far more valuable than perishable gold, will be judged worthy of praise, glory and honor at the revealing of Yeshua the Messiah.
8  Without having seen him, you love him. Without seeing him now, but trusting in him, you continue to be full of joy that is glorious beyond words.
9  And you are receiving what your trust is aiming at, namely, your deliverance.

Erroneous bible teachings and the "mandela effect"

I've been shaking my head at how much error has been introduced into the church.  Sometimes it is an honest mistake due to bible passages that are not clear or not clear to that person yet.  If the person teaching the error discovers they made a mistake, they correct it and do not teach the error again.  Some things are not clear in scripture and are open for discussions between believers where 'iron sharpens iron' and everyone learns from the discussions - at least that is the way it should be.  Sometimes those discussions everyone believes they are right and nothing is accomplished other than people getting angry at each other and calling the others apostates or heretics. 

There is no problem with other views when scripture is not 100% clear on something although when something is as clear as 2 + 2 = 4 or a person is pointed out as being in error and they state they don't care and that they will continue to teach that error, it is a problem.  One example is what I recently posted about is the new, and false, doctrine of "the seed of a woman means virgin birth because women do not have seed" using Genesis 3:15 as their "proof text" when both Genesis 4:25 and Genesis 16:8-11 where the same word for seed, Strongs H2233, is used refutes that false teaching.

Strongs H2233

•             seed, sowing, offspring
•             a sowing      
•             seed
•             semen virile
•             offspring, descendants, posterity, children
•             of moral quality
•             a practitioner of righteousness (fig.)
•             sowing time (by meton)

 Genesis 3:15  And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed^H2233 and her seed ^H2233; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

Genesis 4:25  And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth: For God, said she, hath appointed me another seed ^H2233 instead of Abel, whom Cain slew.

Genesis 16
8  And he said, Hagar, Sarai's maid, whence camest thou? and whither wilt thou go? And she said, I flee from the face of my mistress Sarai.
9  And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Return to thy mistress, and submit thyself under her hands.
10  And the angel of the LORD said unto her, I will multiply thy seed ^H2233 exceedingly, that it shall not be numbered for multitude.
11  And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Behold, thou art with child, and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael; because the LORD hath heard thy affliction.

Genesis 1:29   And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, ^H2233 which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; ^H2233 to you it shall be for meat.

As I have previously pointed out, if seed means sperm and physical offspring, the same word is used for satan's seed so satan would have to have physical children.  This opens the door to the satanic serpent seed doctrine which is running rampant in the churches and on youtube - a doctrine of demons.  It also opens the door for people believing the mahdi (antichrist) is virgin born (if they make that claim) because the same word is used for seed regarding Hagar.  If it means virgin born for Eve, then it must mean the same thing for Hagar which proves this doctrine as being an error which can lead to deception in the future.

Errors in interpretation is why we are to fellowship and study scripture together so we can learn and grow in Yeshua.  Often errors are honest mistakes although sometimes they are introduced on purpose either to embellish a sermon or possibly a sinister agenda and this is why someone who wants to teach or learn truth needs to study for their selves.

One obvious embellishing of scripture that I have brought up before is the embellishing of Lot and calling him a compromiser and falling into sin by wanting to live in sodom.  Nowhere does the bible say Lot compromised or fell into sin, in fact the bible calls Lot Righteous Lot.  What is the purpose of pastors who supposedly studied the bible and know better to use the story of Lot in this way? 

Recently youtube has become a proponent for the "mandela effect" and numerous videos, including by professing believers, claims all bibles were changed - including the bibles you have had in your homes for years and all electronic versions - by CERN (some claim it was satan that went back in time to make changes in the bible, movies, books, and such)  The alleged changes the videos claim are causing people to doubt the bible and believe it is not reliable.  All of the alleged changes in the bible are false.  People believe the bible changed because they listen to erroneous and deceptive teachings by pastors and teachers and have not actually read the bible for their self.  The alleged errors are either from pastors intentionally changing the scripture for their own purposes or an agenda or they are from different bible translations and were not an intentional deception.  Messiah Yeshua said not one jot or tittle would be changed.

Matthew 5:18  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.

Messiah Yeshua will protect His Torah and He will obviously will protect all of scripture as well - satan has no power to go back in time let alone change the bible.  IF satan had that power, he would have changed more than a few words that have nothing to do wit the gospel message.

When I was little I remember the pastor teaching abut the "Lion and the Lamb" laying down together during the millennium.  When I read through the bible myself, I saw that my bible said wolf and lamb.  I searched other translations (including KJV) and it said wolf and lamb.  Messiah Yeshua came as a lamb to atone for sin the first time and will come back as a lion.  If this is why the pastor used 'lamb and lion shall lie down together', it may have been done with no ill intent although it was not what the bible said and we are seeing that it is now being used to deceive people that never read the scripture for their self. 

Isaiah 11:6  The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them.

Isaiah 65:25  The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock: and dust shall be the serpent's meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the LORD.

Pastors / teachers should only teach what the bible says.  Nothing wrong if they do not know something and say as much but when they are adding to, subtracting from, or embellishing scripture to make a new teaching they will be under judgment for it.

James 3:1  Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, since you know that we will be judged more severely.

Some of the alleged bible changes by the "mandela effect" are due to word translations in different bible versions.  One example of this is the word 'bottle' in the KJV which is translated as 'wineskins' in other translations.

KJV
Matthew 9:17  Neither do men put new wine into old bottles^G779: else the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish: but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved.

ASV
Matthew 9:17  Neither do men put new wine into old wine-skins: else the skins burst, and the wine is spilled, and the skins perish: but they put new wine into fresh wine-skins, and both are preserved.

Strongs G779
askos: a leathern bag or bottle, in which water or wine was kept
779 askós – a leather wine-skin (not a glass "bottle"). "Our word bottle originally carried the true meaning, being a bottle of leather. In Spanish bota means a leather bottle, a boot, and a butt. In Spain wine is still brought to market in pig-skins" (M. Vincent).

Every alleged change in the bible by the "mandela effect" is false.   Whether this was planned long ago by man, I'm not sure of although it appears to have been a calculated plan by satan in order to deceive people in the end times.  This is why people need to read and study the bible on their own and be like Bereans and check EVERY teaching by EVERY person with scripture and see if it lines up or not.  Paul was an APOSTLE and even his teachings were verified with scripture.  Nobody should get a free pass and TRUE pastors and teachers of scripture are open to correction.  The pastors / teachers that continue tp teach error after they have been shown they are in error are false teachers.  If a teacher is not open to correcting something simple that is obviously clear then you must ask yourself what other lies and deceptions are they teaching?  They lose credibility if they won't change a teaching when they are in obvious error and it is pointed out to them.  To me, it shows a deception on their part and the bad fruit they are producing  shows they may not even be one of Yahweh's sheep.

Every obviously wrong teaching, no matter how small,  needs to be corrected whether it in a bible study or fellowship because if it is allowed to be propagated without correction, satan may very well use it to discredit the bible and Yahweh as we have seen with the "mandela effect" and everyone who is believing it not because of what they remember from reading but by what they heard their pastors and teacher speak.  satan knows it is easier to fool someone than convince them they have been fooled and this sets people up for deceptions like the "mandela effect" as well as the great deception that will happen after the rapture.

2 Thessalonians 2
10  And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11  And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12  That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

The apostle Paul: Zealous for the law, but not traditions

Many "christians" use the book of Galatians to try and prove the apostle Paul was speaking against Yahweh's instructions and try and make a case that we are no longer to follow the Torah (or Law - better translated as instructions)  They use verses such as Galatians 1:13-16 to claim Paul was speaking against Yahweh's instructions - His Torah.

Galatians 1
13  For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews' religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it:
14  And profited in the Jews' religion above many my equals in mine own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers.
15  But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace,
16  To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:

Paul was speaking against the TRADITIONS, not the law just like "christians" celebrate christmas and easter and claim it is "worship of God" or "celebrating Jesus' birthday and resurrection".  The holidays of christmas and easter have NOTHING to do with True Christianity just like the traditions Paul was keeping had NOTHING to do with worship of Yahweh or following Messiah Yeshua.  Notice Paul did NOT say that he was following Torah and  that was wrong - he said he was in the JEWS RELIGION and following TRADITION.  Torah is not tradition, it is Yahweh's instruction and is, like Yahweh, the 'same yesterday, today, and forever'.

Messiah Yeshua also spoke against TRADITION of the rabbis.  Since Yeshua NEVER sinned and sin is violation of Torah, He never spoke against the Torah but spoke against the traditions that the rabbis had added to their religion.  Yeshua said the pharisees were violating the law by their TRADITIONS.  This is the very same thing that "christians" are doing when they celebrate pagan holidays that are actually worshiping other [false] "gods" and when "christians" claim that "sunday is the christian Sabbath" where there is no such thing in scripture.

Matthew15:3  But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?

1 John 3:4  Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.

Many "christians" believe that "sunday is the christian sabbath" simply because the catholic church told them it was.  They use the reasoning that Paul spoke until midnight sunday and they congregation had a church service all day long because of this verse:

Acts 20:7  And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight.

1)  The day starts at sundown so this was saturday night after the TRUE Sabbath ended
2) Until 135 AD (because of the bar Kokhba revolt) the believing Jews and gentiles met with the unbelieving Jews in the synagogues to worship Yahweh and learn Torah

Acts 13
13 Now when Paul and his company loosed from Paphos, they came to Perga in Pamphylia: and John departing from them returned to Jerusalem.
14 But when they departed from Perga, they came to Antioch in Pisidia, and went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and sat down.
15 And after the reading of the law and the prophets the rulers of the synagogue sent unto them, saying, Ye men and brethren, if ye have any word of exhortation for the people, say on.

Acts 15
19 Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them, which from among the Gentiles are turned to God:
20 But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood.
21 For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath day.

3) sunday morning worship did not start until centuries later
4) the work week was six days with Sabbath being the only day off.  The work week and school week today in Israel is 5-1/2 days long (they end the day early on friday to prepare for Shabbat - the Sabbath)
5) After the Sabbath, the disciples met to have a meal to fellowship after having learned Torah in the synogogue in the morning and learning about Yeshua after the synagogue service ended.

When the apostle Paul taught in Berea, it was before he wrote any of the letters which became part of the new testament.  The only scripture Paul's teachings were compared with was the Torah, the prophets,  and the rest of the writings of the old testament,

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.

Yeshua never broke Torah (which is what sin is) otherwise He would not have been qualified to be Messiah.  The apostle Paul never taught against Torah otherwise he would not have been a true apostle and the Bereans would have rejected him.

When Paul returned to Jerusalem, James told him there was a controversy in that the believing Jews who were ZEALOUS FOR THE LAW believed Paul had been speaking against the law.  James said he knew that Paul had not violated the law and asked him to show the believers in Jerusalem that he was still keeping the law.  NOTE:  it was IMPORTANT to James that Paul show that he was not a law breaker.  Obviously James was teaching the believers in Jerusalem that they were to obey the law!  Also note, this included sacrifices - obviously not sin sacrifices but those of purification and other vows (such as the Nazarite vow)

Acts 21
18  And the day following Paul went in with us unto James; and all the elders were present.
19  And when he had saluted them, he declared particularly what things God had wrought among the Gentiles by his ministry.
20  And when they heard it, they glorified the Lord, and said unto him, Thou seest, brother, how many thousands of Jews there are which believe; and they are all zealous of the law:
21  And they are informed of thee, that thou teachest all the Jews which are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, saying that they ought not to circumcise their children, neither to walk after the customs.
22  What is it therefore? the multitude must needs come together: for they will hear that thou art come.
23  Do therefore this that we say to thee: We have four men which have a vow on them;
24  Them take, and purify thyself with them, and be at charges with them, that they may shave their heads: and all may know that those things, whereof they were informed concerning thee, are nothing; but that thou thyself also walkest orderly, and keepest the law.
25  As touching the Gentiles which believe, we have written and concluded that they observe no such thing, save only that they keep themselves from things offered to idols, and from blood, and from strangled, and from fornication.
26  Then Paul took the men, and the next day purifying himself with them entered into the temple, to signify the accomplishment of the days of purification, until that an offering should be offered for every one of them.

People love to twist Paul because, like Peter said, he is hard to understand.  Peter said those who twist the words of Paul fall from the error of the lawless.  

2 Peter 3
14  Therefore, beloved, since you are waiting for these, be diligent to be found by him without spot or blemish, and at peace.
15  And count the patience of our Lord as salvation, just as our beloved brother Paul also wrote to you according to the wisdom given him,
16  as he does in all his letters when he speaks in them of these matters. There are some things in them that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures.
17  You therefore, beloved, knowing this beforehand, take care that you are not carried away with the error of lawless people and lose your own stability.

If anything Paul said contradicted Messiah Yeshua, then Paul would be false so if a person  believes Paul said we no longer had to obey the Torah (the law) and Messiah Yeshua said we do - then that person is claiming Paul's words have a higher authority than the Messiah they claim to follow and are claiming Yeshua is not their Messiah but Paul is since that is the voice they are listening to.  The apostle Paul is a true apostle and most people do not understand him.  Most of "christianity" has made the Paul of their own imagination and is the "messiah" they are following.  Many of the  christians who now claim to follow Torah also do not understand Paul so they claim he is a false apostle.  This false assumption of Paul places 90% of the new testament into question which discredits the entire new testament cannon of scripture.

Those who claim to follow Messiah Yeshua (Jesus) need to obey what He said and follow HIM.  If something in the bible seems to contradict Torah which Yeshua never violated or spoke against (if He had spoken against it, it would have been rebellion against Yahweh) then the troublesome passage needs to be studied to see the true meaning of it.

1 John 3:4  Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.

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

Strong's number G458 iniquity (transliterated as anomia)   :
anomia
1) the condition of without law
     a) because ignorant of it
     b) because of violating it
2) contempt and violation of law, iniquity, wickedness

John14:15  If ye love me, keep my commandments.

John14:23  Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.

John15:10  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.

1 John 2
3  And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
4  He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

1 John 5
2  By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.
3  For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.

Revelation 14:12  Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
