The Kingdom of God

Beloved, if one does not know what the one true gospel is, he most certainly does not know what the kingdom of God is. The one true gospel without controversy in the grace of God is the Mashiach, Yeshua of Nazareth, died for our sins according to the Tanach, He was buried and He rose again the third day according to the Tanach (Luke 24, 1 Cor 15). The one true gospel is the power of God unto salvation to everyone who believes, to those of Yudah first (in the days of Paul), and to the nations (Gentiles). In our day it is to the nations first, and then to Yudah, for judgment comes upon the land of the nations first.

There is only one gospel. And so in Matthew 4:23, where it is written, “Yeshua went about all Galilee, teaching in their synogogues (buildings made with men’s hands), and preaching the gospel of the kingdom”, this gospel is one and the same gospel that is declared in Luke 24 & 1 Cor 15. It is one and the same gospel that the resurrected Mashiach, Yeshua, preached, and Paul and the apostolos imitated. There is certainly the testimony of two or more here. The gospel of the kingdom is the Mashiach died for our sins according to the Tanach, He was buried and He rose again the third day according to the Tanach. This gospel of the kingdom is the same what Yeshua speaks of in John 3:3, “Except a man be born from above, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” The “kingdom of Matthew 4 is the kingdom of God in John 3, and together it is the one true gospel. Except God gives grace from above according to His will a person cannot see the “kingdom of God”, the one true gospel.  And to see the gospel of the kingdom is to enter into the kingdom of God. When one enters into the kingdom of God he sees what he enters into to, and it is the one true gospel. Before the death, burial and resurrection of the Mashiach, Yeshua, He primarily spoke the gospel in parables: for had they known the Lord of glory, they would not have crucified Him. They could not believe according to the purpose of God.

It is asked of Yeshua in Matthew 18, “Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” or it could be said, “who is the greatest in the one true gospel?”…”Except you be converted and become as little children, you cannot enter into the kingdom of heaven.” And how can a person be converted unless God makes choice before he or she has done neither good or evil? They cannot not. Man has no free will. There is only the will of God, for a person to accept the one true gospel or not. This is the will of God, and if they accept, this is born from above.

And so the kingdom of heaven or the kingdom of God is the one true gospel, and the one true gospel I know and have clearly declared, and those with me are attached by grace and the will of God to this same gospel, as I am too.

Against the Will

The one true gospel is the Mashiach, Yeshua of “Nazareth”, died for our sins according to the Tanach (Old Testament, writings of the prophets, scriptures), He was buried and He rose again the third day according to the Tanach. And all understanding (that comes from God) comes from the one true gospel. The one true gospel which I know I preach is the power of God unto salvation to everyone who believes, to the nations first (in this generation of judgment) and then to those of Yudah, of Yisrael. For all Yisrael shall be saved!

If a man knows not Yeshua, he will have no understanding. For how can he have the understanding of God, that can only comes from God if he does not know Yeshua. And can a man know Yeshua if the one true gospel, the power of God unto salvation, be not preached? Of course he cannot know Yeshua if the one true gospel is not preached. And so I will start this writing with Him whom I know and the few with me, Yeshua.

God is in control of all things. His will is supreme in all the earth. God makes no mistakes, but He is perfect in all His ways. His ways are passed understanding in the realm of carnal men, of the flesh. For who among men could have understand the love of God in the Mashiach, Yeshua, that God came down to earth in the form of a servant, and sacrificed His life, the life of the only begotten Son, for the souls of all men at the hands of the very creatures He created. God accomplished this for the souls of all men, women, children, the unborn, all that have ever lived. He loves all who have ever lived (from the time of conception there is life). This is the will of God in the Mashiach.

And so there is this supreme will of God, and next to this there is what is called the will of men. Can the will of man somehow usurp the will of God? Can the will of man somehow affect the will of God? No it cannot be! The will of God can only be righteous. The will of man, if it can be said to be a will, can only be enslaved to unrighteousness before grace is given by God and His will. So there is the righteous will of God, and unrighteous man who can only do what God has willed. There is no free will. And then God gives grace to men, choses them from before the foundation of the world, and He betrothes them to another: the righteous One, Yeshua. They were betrothed to unrighteousness but when born from above they are betrothed to He who is righteousness. This is only a work of God’s grace. We were not seeking it, asking for it and had any sense of knowing it. God in His sovereign infinite  mercy and grace chose us, the few among the many to accomplish His eternal purpose in the Mashiach. There will be the saved and the nations of the saved. Every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Yeshua is Lord to the glory of God the Father. The end of the Lord is the Lord is very pitiful and of tender mercies. His mercy endures forever! In Adam all died, in the Mashiach all are made alive, each man in God’s own order.

And so there is the righteous will of God, and the man enslaved to unrighteousness by the righteous will and purpose of God, that God might chose a few from the many to be enslaved unto the righteousness found in the Mashiach. The will of a man enslaved to unrighteousness before grace, is the life of a man. “I know that in this flesh dwelleth no good thing.” “Therefore there is a law when I do good, evil is present.” But depite this evil present, there is therefore no condemnation to them who are in the Mashiach Yeshua who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit; but in the Spirit, in the assembly where the gospel is preached. Yeshua said, “If any man will come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross (the gospel) and follow Me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it, and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.” Look at the Mashiach, Yeshua! Did He not lose His life for the sake of the Father. And the servant is not greater than the master!

Now He who knew know sin was made sin by the letter of the Law. For Law said “thou shalt not lust (desire or covet)” and it made no exception to God in the flesh, for all things were His, and in righteousness of Spirit He desired all things, but He was sin  by the letter  of Law nevertheless. And the Law also said “cursed is the man that hangeth on tree” and again it made no exemption whether the man was righteous or unrighteous. The Law condemned both the Righteous One and the unrighteous by the letter. The letter killeth, but the Spirit giveth life.” This is why it is written “the man that doeth them shall live in them”. But the one who cries out for mercy, “We have sinned greatly against you, Oh God” and “Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us”, it is He that shall be justified. And all who are chosen in Him by the Father and endure to the end are justified with Him.Yeshua also said, “Abba, Father, all things are possible unto Thee. Take away this cup from Me. Nevertheless not what I will, but what thou will.” And the purpose of God was and is fulfilled against the will.

And Paul speaking of the will writes, “For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of. For necessity is laid upon me, yes, woe unto me, if I preach not the gospel! For if I do this thing willingly I have a reward, but if against the will, a stewardship is committed unto me.” The gospel is preached against the will. Look at Yeshua, the author and finisher of the faith and see that this is true! And where the true grace of God is, there abides the will of God against the will. How can the purpose of God be fulfilled among them that the grace of God abides if there will, the flesh is contrary to God? The grace of God abides “against the will”. And the purpose of God is fulfilled despite the evil present, that which is contrary to the Mashiach: antichristos.

And so the great evidence of the grace of God is its work in the midst of a contrary will. And to what extent is this contrary will? “Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in infirmities (of my contrary will), that the power of the Mashiach may rest upon me. There I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for the Mashiach’s sake: for when I am weak then am I strong.”

And so there is place of weakness in the grace of God where all things are done against the will, and the purpose of God is fulfilled. “And I will very gladly spend and be spent for you, though the more abundantly I love you, the less I be loved. But be it so, I did not burden you. Nevertheless, being crafty I caught you will guile (of the love of God in the Mashiach, Yeshua). Did I make gain of you?…Again think you that we excuse ourselves unto you? We speak before God in the Mashiach. But we do all things, dearly beloved, for your edification.”

HE WHO HAS EARS TO HEAR LET HIM HEAR! HE WHO HAS EYES TO SEE LET HIM SEE, SAYETH THE SPIRIT OF YESHUA!

There is no free will, only God’s will!

I have written much about the will of God prior to this entry, and of the false doctrine of “free will”.  God’s will is clearly seen only by the true grace that is in the one true gospel. God gives grace to a person to accept the one true gospel in its entirety. This is not evidence that demands a verdict, but it is the true grace of God that allows a man to accept the gospel. To repeat the one true gospel is the Mashiach, who is Yeshua of Nazareth, died for our sins according to the Old Testament, He was buried and He rose again the third day according to the Tanach. (Luke 24, 1 Cor 15:1-6) Yeshua the Mashiach and His one true gospel is the same yesterday, today and forever. And so in this grace it is accepted that Yeshua of Nazareth is the Mashiach of God. It is accepted that He died for our sins. It is accepted that He was buried. It is accepted that He rose again the third day. And it is accepted “two times” in this grace that Yeshua’s death for our sins, His burial and His resurrection is “according to the Old Testament”. Again it is accepted in the true grace of God “two times” that this act of God in the Mashiach, the one true gospel, was “according to the scriptures (Tanach). And by the accepting of the one true gospel in the true grace of God there is the understanding of God. For the understanding of God comes forth when grace is given by God. Understanding such as “God loves all men” and “God in the Mashiach died for all men”. God is the teacher of these things concerning the love of God in the Mashiach and all the understanding that is given to the chosen ones.

And so when God purposed the Mashiach’s death for our sins according to the Tanach, His burial and His resurrection the third day according to the Tanach ,where is the will of a man? Subservient and fulfilling the will of God. Where was men making decisions and a free will? There was only God’s will. God’s will toward Yeshua, toward the body of the Mashiach, and God’s will toward the rest of man. For had they known the Lord of glory, they would not have crucified Him.

Let us speak of the second birth, born from above, conversion. Where is free will here? In the Mashiach’s death for our sins, His burial and His resurrection the third day according to the Tanach, there is no free will of a man. Why would one who claims to be a believer think that there is a free will in reguards to conversion. Have you never read John 1:12-13? Evidently you could not have in the true grace of God with the understanding that only comes from God: “But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons (full inheritance) of God, to them that believe in His name, WHICH WERE BORN, NOT OF BLOODS, NOR OF THE WILL OF THE FLESH, NOR OF THE WILL OF MAN, BUT OF GOD.” No, you could not have read this passage of the apostolos, Yohan, or if you did read it and continue to understand that man has a free will, you do not have eyes to see, and there is none of the true grace of God.

So if the fulfillment of God’s eternal purpose in the Mashiach, Yeshua, is only of the will of God, and if conversion is only of the will of God, where is free will? Did God convert us to give us, believers, a free will? Foolishness! God converted us to make us slaves to righteousness, and in righteousness there is only the will of God.

So in all things there is only the will of God, and “free will” is a lie against God whose will is supreme. This lie of “free will” is from the false accuser of God, who is the father of lies. But thanks be unto God who has revealed these things to babes!

Sin

All spiritual understanding comes from knowing the Mashiach. And to know the Mashiach comes by the grace of God which causes a person to accept the one true gospel. And the one true gospel is the Mashiach, Yeshua of “Nazareth” died for our sins according to the Old Testament (Tanach), He was buried and He rose the third day according to the Tanach (Old Testament). In the true grace of God there is no controversy in these words I speak, only rejoicing and fellowship if we walk in the light as He is in the light. I and those with me, we rejoice.

The understanding is: “If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us” and “Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with such a cloud of witnesses (the witnesses listed in the previous chapter), let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, looking unto Yeshua the author and finisher of the faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.”

The Greek word for sin in the two passages quoted is αμαρτια (hamartia, noun, Strong’s # 266, ham-ar-tee-ah). It is found about 170 times in the NT in its singular or plural form translated sin(s), with one exception, offense, in 2 Cor 11:7. This Greek word is also found many times in the LXX. I could provide you a list of the verses if you need them.  The first time the word is used in the LXX  is Gen 15:16. The Hebrew word behind the Greek word for sin in this verse is  עון (avon, Strong’s# 5771,noun, pronounced aw-vone). In the Strong’s it is said to mean and be translated: evil, perversity,fault, iniquity,mischief, punishment, sin. “Avon” is derived from the Hebrew word עוה (avah, Strong’s 5753) It is a verb and means “to make crooked or bend down”. So we have a verb, avah, which means to make crooked or bend, in some sense when it is made a noun, is translated sin or iniquity.

Let me first start with the sense of avah, the verb (action word) meaning to bend. ”Avah” is used two times in the Tanach where it is translated “bowed down”: Ps 38:6, “I am troubled and bowed down” and Is 21:3, “I am bowed down at the hearing”. The prophecies are concerning the Mashiach who is bowed down before the Father, His king. And so the sense of a man “avah”, is bending down in submission to the king. A slave submitting to His master. But there are two ways to submit or bow down to a master. One can submit or be submitted, but either way in the end, there will be submission. When “avah” is seen as sin, it is in the sense of being submitted to a master by the master, and when “avah” is seen as righteous it is seen in the sense of submitting to the master. As an example, the Mashiach, Yeshua, submitting to the Father full of grace and truth. Now let me point out one more prophecy in the Ez 21:24-27, “Therefore, thus saith Adonay, Yehovah, because you have made your iniquity to be remembered, in that your transgressions are discovered, so that all your doings your sins do appear. Because that you are come to remembrance, you shall be taken with the hand. And you profane wicked ruler of Yisrael, whose day is come, when iniquity shall have an end. Thus saith Adonay, Yehovah, remove the turban, and take off the crown. This shall not be the same. Exalt him that is low, and abase him that is high. I will bow it down, I will bow it down, I will bow it down and it shall be no more, until he comes whose right it is, and I will give it to him.”   The KJV translates “avah” overturn, but it literally means to “bow down” as I have written the passage. God will bow down Yisrael as well as the Ammonites (vs20) by the king of Babylon (vs 19,21) to Himself. By the king of Babylon God will cause the ruler to submit to Himself. Because of the sins of Yerushalem God will cause Yudah to submit to Him by judgment. It is in the scriptures of the prophets “avah” come forth to give us the sense of sin. Sin is about submission, and submission to God whether He grants grace to submit or He causes submission by judgment. Again whether by the grace of God people are able to submit to God or by His mercy He will cause “the many” to submit to Him in judgment, so that in the end, “every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Yeshua is Adonay to the glory of God the Father”. God will cause “the many” to submit, so that in the end all may see the end of the Adonay (Lord), that He is very pitiful and of tender mercies.

In closing to see clearly (only if there be grace) that Yeshua’s understanding in the days of His flesh was the thought of sin with submission. “Then said Yeshua to those of Yudah which believed on Him, if you continue in my word, then are you my disciples indeed, and you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. And they answered Him, We be Avraham’s seed, and were never in bondage to any man. How sayest thou, you shall be free? Yeshua answered them, Verily, verily I say unto you, whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin. And the servant remains not in the house forever, but the Son abideth for ever. If the Son therefore shall make you free, you shall be free indeed. I know that you are Avraham’s seed, but you seek to kill Me, because My word has no place in you. I speak that what I have seen with my Father, and you do that which you have seen with your father. They answered and said unto Him, Avraham is our father. Yeshua said unto them, If you were Avraham’s children, you would do the works of Avraham. But now you seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God. This did not Avraham. You do the deeds of your father…(vs 59) Then took they up stones to cast at Him. But Yeshua hid Himself and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.” A person is either a slave of sin, which he is borne in, or a slave of righteousness which is the second birth.

There is only God’s will

All understanding comes by the one true gospel. And the one true gospel is without controversy in the true grace of God. It is the Mashiach, Yeshua of “Nazareth”, died for our sins according to the Old Testament, He was buried and He rose again the third day according to the Old Testament. And when the one true gospel is preached even when the motives are wrong (and I know I do not preach the gospel in envy and strife) all the children of grace will rejoice. These are not my words but Paul’s words in Philippians chapter 1. And if there is no rejoicing in the one true gospel there is no grace. They have fallen from grace, or there was never grace. And if there is no fellowship in the one true gospel when it is heard, they walk not in the light. (1 John 1:7) The children of grace will not ignore or reject, but they will desire fellowship with the brethren wherever the one true gospel is preached.

From the beginning men who call themselves Christians have stuggled with understanding the “will of a man”. Man does have a will, but it is not free. He is either a slave of sin, or a slave of righteousness. Read the words of Yeshua. Read the words of the apostolos. A slave is enslaved to he who has captured him, to do his bidding. If God in the Mashiach has captured him, he is God’s slave and a slave of righteousness. If he is captured in sin, that which he is born in, he is enslaved to sin, to do sin’s bidding. As all are borne in sin, and their will enslaved to sin, they have no free will. And only when and if God makes choice and grants them grace, are they enslaved to another, Yeshua the Mashiach. The will of all simply passes from being a slave to sin to  a slave of righteousness, and this by the will of God. For He has chosen men, vessels of honor and vessels of dishonor, before they have done any evil or good. There is only the will of God, and within the will of God there are all who are slaves of sin, and slaves of righteousness: the many and the few. There is no such thing in the understanding of the one true gospel as a “free will”. If a man speaks of a free will, he is deceived.

Now there are some that say they agree that grace comes by the will of God, but then afterwards men must give their agreement to the will of God, and this they say is grace. How can a man who is a slave of sin agree to anything but sin? He cannot. There is only a slave of sin, and a slave of righteousness, and God’s will that can convert those He choses. A person begins by the will of God (at conversion) and to the end (of their life in the flesh) God’s will is complete by the grace and will of God. Though the child of grace walks in good works during the days of his flesh after conversion, this is by the will and grace of God, that the boasting is only in Yeshua. There is none of the enduring ones who begin in the Spirit and end in the flesh, not of the children of grace who are predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son. There is only the beginning in the Spirit and ending in the Spirit and by the Spirit. There is no other way for the child of grace who endures to the end.

And so men barren of the Spirit and of grace will always argue that man has a free will or half a free will or some other form of will, but the children of grace as they walk in grace will agree with the true words of understanding of the one true gospel. I am but an imitator of the apostolos, as the apostolos are imitators of the Mashiach, Yeshua. And all boasting is in the Mashiach.

Now, beloved, Paul writes that he preaches the gospel against the will. This will which he speaks of is the flesh, that which is contrary to the Mashiach. This is the natural life of a person. Romans 7 declares that “I know that in this flesh dwelleth no good thing”. The carnal mind is emnity with the things of God. If we walk after the flesh we will have a carnal mind which is at emnity with the things of God, the one true gospel. This is the will Paul speaks of, the will of the flesh, the old man. If we walk in the Spirit the old man is crucified with Christ that the body of sin might be rendered powerless. But if we walk after the flesh, there is condemnation, and the body of sin not rendered powerless and the sin that does so easily beset us, besets us. So walk after the Spirit and you will not fulfill the lusts of the flesh. It is this flesh, this old man, that men mistake for their will. This is the old man, a slave of sin. “I know a law that when I do good, evil is present with me.” I know a law when I do good, the old man is present with me. I know a law that when I do good there is that which is within me that is contrary to Christ. But there is no condemnation for this evil present as we walk after the Spirit. I am not condemned as I do good, just because evil is present with me, for I walk after the Spirit and not after the flesh. So with the mind I serve the law of God in the Spirit, but with the flesh the law of sin and death, and I am not condemned.

These are great truths in the Mashiach that are not easily understood and have confounded many as they grope at the truths of God by their carnal minds, and not by the mind of the Mashiach. The mind of the Mashiach is by the grace of God.

The sum of all doctrine: Yeshua the Mashiach

Beloved, to all who walk in the true grace of God there is one true gospel only. It is the Mashiach, Yeshua of “Nazareth”, died for our sins, and  according to the Old Testament, He was buried, and He rose again the third day, and according to the Old Testament. This one true gospel is confirmed by the testimony of two or more. Yeshua in Luke 24 declares the same gospel that I declare as the gospel. And Yeshua only speaks the words of the Father so this declaration of the one true gospel is the testimony of two, God the Father and His Son, Yeshua the Mashiach. And God who can swear by no one greater than Himself swore by Himself the promises and the covenant. And the apostolos Paul in 1 Cor 15 declares the one true gospel as the same. And this gospel that Paul preached is given the right hand of fellowship in Galatians chapter 2, by Cephas and John and James. And this agreement is accepted by all the apostolos, so there is the testimony of the first twelve apostolos that this one true gospel is indeed the same gospel Yeshua preached, and I also imitate. And so all who would reject or ignore the gospel I preach, which is the gospel Yeshua preached, and the first twelve apostolos preached, reject and ignore the very words of Yeshua. For whether the first twelve apostolos or any other messenger chosen by God or I preach the one true gospel, it is one and the same in all generations. The gates of sheol (the grave) will not prevail against the assembly of God and the one true gospel. For there can be no assembly without the preaching of the one true gospel which is the power of God. But the false accuser will always be the false accuser as long as he has days. And the contentious of the spirit of the false accuser will always be contentious as long as they have length of days, unless God gives grace. And in rejecting the one true gospel the false accuser says “No God, you do not have one gospel”. But God clearly declares in the Mashiach witnessed to by the apostolos and the prophets, “There is only one gospel”. Let God be true and every man a liar.

And so it is settled in the heavens, there is only one gospel, and it is the Mashiach, who is Yeshua of “Nazareth”, died for our sins, and according to the Old Testament, He was buried, and He rose again the third day, and according to the Old Testament.

And from the one true gospel there is right understanding. The Mashiach is the sum of all things and understanding. He is made unto us wisdom and understanding and sanctification.  And so all the Law is fulfilled in the Mashiach in these words as it is written, “thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart and thy whole soul and thy whole mind” and “Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbor as thus.” And by the true grace of God that is given to the election to accept the Mashiach’s death for our sins, His burial and His resurrection the third day as it is foretold in all the Old Testament, we see Yeshua who loved the Lord His God with His whole heart and His whole soul and His whole mind in His death for our sins, His burial and His resurrection the third day. Now we see by grace what the love of God is about, in the scriptures of the prophets (the Old Testament). And He, Yeshua, avenged not, and bore no grudge toward any man. For toward the betrayer He said, “Friend, you betray me with a kiss”, and to the rest of all people and the betrayer, He said. “Father, forgive them for they know not what they do.” For this was the purpose of God, for had they known the Lord of glory, they would not have crucified Him. Again, by grace we see the love of God in the Mashiach. Yeshua in His death loved God with His whole heart and whole soul and whole mind, and loved his neighbor, all people of all generations, without avenging or a grudge. The Captain of our salvation was made perfect through sufferings. This is to know the love of God which surpasses understanding.

And seeing this love of God by grace, we are able to say “God is love” and “God loves all people” and “Yeshua died for all people of all nations”. For the gospel preached to Avraham was “in thy seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed”, and the Seed is one and the Seed is the Mashiach, and the interpretation sure and true. And every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Yeshua is Lord to the glory of God the Father. “In Adam all died, in the Mashiach, all shall be made alive, each man in God’s own order”. The end of the Lord is the Lord is very pitiful and of tender mercies. His mercy endureth forever.

God is love, and He loves all men, and Yeshua died for all men. And all the children of grace say “It is true”. And the exhortation to all brethren everywhere is ”love one another”. For how can you say you love God whom you do not see, and hate your brother. Hate of the brethren cannot be in the grace of God. And if you say God has chosen you, He has just assuredly chosen me, and you are bound to love all, even when words of understanding do not agree with your understanding. We are taught of God. And if there are thoughts that do not agree in the one true gospel, there will be rejoicing that one true gospel is preached, and there will be grace and the one true gospel. For God is able to teach and correct disagreeable thoughts, as He has assuredly taught me. “If we walk in the light as He is in the light, WE HAVE FELLOWSHIP from the day we know each other to eternity WITH ONE ANOTHER, and the blood of Yeshua His Son cleanesth of from all sin. AND WE HAVE FELLOWSHIP WITH ONE ANOTHER IN THE TRUE GRACE OF GOD. AMEN AND AMEN!

And only as a testimony of two in this crooked generation of judgment, beside the love of God (which we must agree upon), there is the will of man. It is not free. Man is either a slave of sin, blinded, or he is a slave of righteousness with His eyes opened by the will and grace of God. No man can decide to be a follower of Yeshua. God decides all things. There is only the will of God. For the will of men is not greater than God, but God is ruler of all things. The gospel is preached and God either gives grace for a man to accept it, or they reject the one true gospel.

If any man is contrary to the words I write, he is apart from Yeshua ha Mashiach. He is of the spirit “against the Mashiach”. For my sheep hear my voice sayeth Yeshua, and His voice is the sound of the one true gospel. 

So if there be doctrine let it begin and end with the words of the one true gospel I write.

Essential Christian Doctrines? No! Essential Gospel!

All understanding comes from the writings of the prophets (the Old Testament) as it prophesies the Meshiach (who is Yeshua of “Nazareth”) death for our sin, His burial and His resurrection. (Luke 24, 1 Cor 15:1-6) If the one true gospel is not continually preached then the hearers cannot know the Mashiach. The  hearers unable to know God’s eternal purpose in the Mashiach, for the Christ is not preached. If He is not preached, how can they know of Him? They cannot! And Yeshua ha Mashiach is the sum of all things. The gospel is the power of God unto salvation, saving people from sin, and death and judgment. And the chosen ones of God cannot be ignorant of the purpose of God to be saved. This is one and the same in all generations.

Beloved, those who call themselves Christians cannot even find unity in what they call “essential Christian doctrine”. Let me clearly declare that it is not false doctrine that have brought about this generation of judgment. The one true gospel not preached has brought about all manner of false doctrines. And why is the one true gospel not preached? By God not granting grace for the one true gospel to be preached. Men keep saying “Thus saith the Lord”, and they speak out of their own breath, and not the Spirit of God. They are false prophets, these men speaking out of their own breath.

Let me give an example of what one would call “Essential Christian Doctrine”:

1. The authority and inerrancy of the scriptures
2. The Nature of God
3. The Trinity
4. The Creation
5. Humanity
6. Sin
7. Jesus Christ
8. Christ’s Death, Burial & Resurrection
9. The Holy Spirit
10. Salvation

Though the gospel is not mentioned accurately, toward the end of the list is ”Christ’s death, burial and resurrection”. But conveniently left out is “according to the scriptures” (Old Testament). To preach the Christ’s death for our sins, His burial and resurrection the third day and omit “according to the scriptures”, is to preach another gospel, which is no gospel at all. Let him be accursed who preaches another gospel! Let him who preaches another gospel fall under the judgment of God. These are not my words, but the words of Paul. There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Beloved, just because they say they adhere to “essential Christian doctrines”, do you not realize what can be between the lines of their ”essential Christian doctrine”. For example, “the love of God for all men”. Do you not realize that men who adhere to Calvinism can also adhere to the false doctrine that God does not love all men. God only loves the elect and hates all the rest of humanity. Do you not know they could also adhere to the doctrine that “their Jesus” did not die for all men. Yes, beloved, they believe that God does not love all men and that “their Jesus” did not die for all men. This is “another Jesus”.

Beloved, do you not know there are others who hold that men have a free will. That they can and do make a decision to follow “Jesus”, contrary to the very pattern of the conversion of Paul. What choice did he have in his conversion? None!  Man has a will but it is not free. It is not free as some would say. A person is either a slave of righteousness or a slave of sin. There are no other options.

And yet these false doctrines of devils (false accusers) are not considered their essential doctrines. It is not an essential doctrine that you holdfast to the teaching that “God hates most men”, that “Jesus did not died for all men”, and that “man has a free will”. I would beg to differ that these indeed are essential doctrines that are conveniently omitted from their ”essential Christian doctrine”. The doctrines of the love of God, and the sacrifice of Yeshua, the Mashiach, for all men, and the will of men are “essential doctrines of God”.

But beloved unless the one true gospel is given the one and only place of prominence, and it and only it, is essential, there shall be no right doctrine, but every manner of error. But thanks be unto God for His marvelous grace in the Mashiach, Yeshua, that He has had and has and will have a people in every generation: for the gates of sheol shall not prevail against the assembly of the living God.

Every knee shall bow, and every tongue confess

All understanding comes from the writings of the prophets (Old Testament or Tanach: they are one and the same) in light of the Mashiach’s death for our sin, His burial and His resurrection the third day. The Law and the Prophets prophesy or foretell the Christ’s death for our sins, His burial and His resurrection the third day. Yeshua of Nazareth is the Mashiach.

Some falsely say that all men are saved. This is not true. They call it universal salvation. They who say this understand not the salvation wrought in the Mashiach. Many are called, but few are chosen. To be saved is to be saved from sin, and death and from judgment in the days of the flesh. All men are not saved from sin and death and judgment in the days of the flesh.

Some falsely say that the many will be burned in a place called “hell” forever. This is not true. They call it limited atonement. Some say that God does not love all men. Some say that Yeshua did not die for all men. They are in great error. As I have written before there is the grave or sheol. It is a place where condemnation is meeted out based on the actions of people. It is a place to wait for the end of the Lord. For the saints of God, one of the few, there is no death. For to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. “In Adam all died, in the Mashiach, all are made alive, each man in God’s own order”. All died in Adam. All are made alive in the Mashiach. There is the life of the chosen ones, partakers of the divine nature, and there is the life of the nations of the saved. There is immortality and incorruption, and there is incorruption. There is the glory of the sun, and the glory of the moon and the stars. And all things are as they should be. All things will be good! There are the saints of God who abide in the presence of God. And there is the glory of the nations and they do not enter in to the gates for they cannot find it within themselves to enter in. And every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Yeshua is Lord to the glory of God the Father.

Some say that men are brought to Christ by the fear of the imaginary place called “hell”. Was Paul converted by the fear of a place called “hell”? No! He is the pattern of conversion. God making choice and granting grace for a man to accept the one true gospel is how Paul was converted. Some say man has a free will and can choose to be a follower of the Mashiach.  This is great error. Man does not have a free will. He is either a slave to sin, or a slave to righteousness. The only way to enter into the salvation of God is for God to choose to grant a person grace to accept the one true gospel, which I know I preach.

Beloved, every knee shall bow, and every tongue confess. And it will be a few clothed in immortality and corruption, and the many clothed in incorruption that shall bow their knee and confess with their mouth. All men shall bow their knees and every tongue shall confess that Yeshua is Lord to the glory of God the Father. A few shall bow their knees and confess with their mouth in the days of the flesh, and all in eternity to come. All men together shall give God our reasonable service, the fruit of lips, thanks be unto our God and Father for the Son, Yeshua ha Mashiach.

Calvinism and Arminianism are both contrary to Christ

Did Calvin die for you? No! Did Arminius die for you? No! Did Luther die for you? No! Did Peter and popes and Paul die for you? Of course not! There is only one who died for all men, Yeshua ha Mashiach. Beloved, Calvin and Arminius both usurped doctrine over the one true gospel. They ceased preaching the gospel, or never preached it at all. For to declare doctrine over the one true gospel is to depart from the true gospel and the grace of God. And the one true gospel is the Christ, Yeshua of Nazareth, died for our sins according to the writings of the prophets (Tanach or Old Testament), He was buried and He rose again according to the Old Testament (Tanach).

Calvin and Arminius did not preach the one true gospel by their writings I have read. And their doctrine shows their fall from grace, if there ever was grace. Arminius declared that men have a free will. We are either a slave to sin, or a slave to righteousness. Either our father is the Father of lights, or the false accuser, the father of lies. Man does not have a free will. He cannot make a decision for Christ. Look at the conversion of Paul that was set forth a pattern of grace for us. Where is free will in his conversion? There is none. There is God knocking Paul down. There is only the will of God. For God chooses us, the election of grace, before we did any evil or good.

Calvin speaks of limited atonement and God not loving all men. Calvin and those who follow him say that God hates the majority of men, and loves a few. The words of Yeshua the Mashiach state, “God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son”. James another apostolos says, “the end of the Lord is the Lord is very pitiful and of tender mercies”. And the word of the Lord over and over states ”His mercy endureth forever.” The fruit of Calvin’s doctrine is obvious in the consenting of the death of Servetus. How can a man who consents to the death of another, have life abiding with him? For the letter killeth, but the Spirit of the Father who zealously only testifies of Yeshua gives life.

Calvin preached eternal security, that a believer cannot fall from grace. This is self-evident in the grace of God in the writings of the apostolos, that a believer can fall from grace, else there would be no false prophets, for false prophets, antichristos come from us. But what use is it for a man to say believers can fall from grace, and that they have a free will. This is what Arminius taught. Part of a truth is no truth at all. A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump. A little false doctrine effects all one’s doctrine.

Beloved, whether Calvin or Arminius or Luther, they did not die for you. I say by the Spirit of the Lord that all denominations without exception are contrary to Christ. The assemblies of God are simply known by the place they are found, where the candlestick has been placed by God.
