FOR FAIR USE AND EDUCATION AND DISCUSSION PURPOSES



There are too many Christians today who espouse "the letter of the Law" in seeing prophetic happenings.

II Corinthians chapter 3 (selected verses to explain)...(vs.6)"...(God) Who hath made us able ministers of the NEW TESTAMENT; not of the LETTER, but of the SPIRIT: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life." (vs.11)"For if that which is done away was glorious (the letter of the Law in the OT), much more that which remaineth." (the spirit of the Law) "And not as Moses, which put a vail over his face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is ABOLISHED: (the letter of the law) (vs.14.) "But their minds were blinded: for UNTIL THIS DAY remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the OLD TESTAMENT; which vail is DONE AWAY WITH IN CHRIST."

And now, in verse 17, we are told of the LIBERTY we now have, according to the SPIRIT of the Law..."Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is LIBERTY."

What God was really afraid of for those Christians who followed the "letter of the Law" and ignored the "spirit of the Law"....II Cor.11:3:

"But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguilded Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the SIMPLICITY that is in Christ."

Those who preach the "letter of the Law" are preaching ANOTHER JESUS...see II Cor.11:4. And what is the result of this kind of teaching? See Romans 16:18:

"For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but THEIR OWN BELLY; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple."

When God TOLD US in I Cor.15:46 that the "natural" came FIRST....and the "spiritual" came after that....CHRISTIANS REFUSE TO BELIEVE what God has said. They continue to give all the NT a LITERAL, "letter of the Law", "natural" interpretation.....IN SPITE OF THE FACT THAT GOD TOLD US IT WAS NOT TO BE A "NATURAL" INTERPRETATION....IT WAS TO BE "SPIRITUAL".

And they, collectively and individually, condemn those who do.....

Piece of link article:


How many Christians continue wallowing around in the dead Old Covenant, attempting to drag it right along into The New Covenant? The old covenant has served it purpose and is over and done with. As Christ has spoken the words, "it is finished."

Now we move on to the new covenant, beyond the letter of the law, into the spirit, the living Word that is Christ in us. We don’t have to go looking for Christ in some far off and distant outer space identified as heaven. After His death and resurrection He came to live in us. Just this morning as I turned over in bed and felt the warmth of my 98.6 degree body and the comfort it has afforded me for over eighty years, included in the forty and fifty degree below zero weather in the mountains of Korea, during the Korean war.

I began to realize what an awesome scope of power it is that emanates through out the universe, from our God and our creator Jesus Christ. In that exact moment that Christ has spoken and ordained as my last breath of life on this earth, my body that has housed His spirit will diminish in temperature, as it rots and returns to the dust from which it came. My spirit will return to God who gave it and be absorbed back into Himself from which it came. To remain there until the resurrection, to be united then with the spirit that will in reality be my personal identity for all eternity.

Jesus Christ is active both from within and from without the lives of all living things. From the tiniest insect or microorganism to the biggest animals, the largest trees, to the grass and flowers, to the birds and butterflies, within all physical as well as all spirit life in existence, none excluded. He has been given all power in heaven and earth. ( Matthew28:18 ) Christ will accomplish all that He has said He will do. Nothing will stand in His way, no one has the power to thwart the smallest part of His purpose and plan from before the world began.

In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began; ( Titus 1:2 ) Yet a deceived man/woman, not knowing they are being deceived, will fall hook, line and sinker for that which come forth from the mouths of Satan’s ministers posing as angels of light. And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works. ( 2nd Corinthians 11:14 - 15 )


We come here to a fork in the road for those we would try and help see the awesome plan of God from within the reality of His Word, apart from the subtle influence of this worlds religious system, known as the Babylon of confusion. We have established this website to help the people of God to come out of confusion, to come out of this worlds religious system, led by the ministers of Satan the devil. Pay close attention to what is being said here in ( Revelation 18: 4 ) And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.

Did you notice who this message is being addressed to? It is being addressed to you and me my brothers and sisters in Christ, to the people of God. Will we pay any attention to it or just ignore it?

I removed myself from the Babylon of confusion some years ago now, and God has been revealing new understanding as I am able to grasp it since that time. We have posted other websites on our website that contain a wealth of good, sound spiritual truth according to the word of God. I am personally dedicated into especially revealing the truth of God reconciling all things in heaven and earth back to Himself through His Son Jesus Christ. That of Universal Salvation, that God will save all, not even one lost, destroyed or left to suffer forever in hell. Which fork in the road will you elect to follow? The comfortable, the one of legalism, ritual, tradition and custom, or the truth of God found within the Word of God through out this website?

Another helpful link (within the above link) which may open some eyes to the truth of a merciful and loving God....and His plan for "Mankind"....ALL OF IT!

I believe the above says it all...and says it very well. Those who believe our loving God to be an unmerciful tyrant are in great error! How great will be their surprise when, facing God, He will say, "Depart from me! I never knew you!"...Matthew 7:23. And then they will "have their own PART in the Lake of Fire" to purge this terrible belief from their hearts!...Rev.21:8...but it will not be forever...
