Amen.
Amen!
Mat 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.
Mat 7:22 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?
Mat 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
In context above, Christ was damning those who are engaging in false prophecy, claiming God said something He didn’t say, or that He didn’t say something He said. Preaching another gospel, etc., is just such false prophecy. This is why people like Osteeen are merely the damned leading the damned.
Christ died for our sins
Adding to that simple truth is dangerous ground indeed. Even here on this forum we hear on a daily basis those who add to that.
“...while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”
Amen to article! Always get a kick out of Paul’s jab at the circumcision party in Galatians 5:12.
“I wish those who unsettle you would emasculate themselves!” ESV
“I would they were even cut off which trouble you.” KJV
I wonder if propriety led past translators and commentators to suggest “cut off” meant to be “cut off from God’s people” vs CUT OFF PARTS! Either way Paul is making a cut on the false teachers.
Any change in the message of Jesus Christ turns it into “a different gospel”
When compared to his other warm greetings (for example, Rom. 1:8; 1 Cor. 1:1–5; Eph. 1:15–23; Phil. 1:3–11), what Paul does not say to the Galatians speaks volumes.
An excellent introduction to a sermon. We may read Galatians over many times and miss this most important point in literary method used by Paul.
How 'old' were those CATHOLIC churches in Asia when the angel WARNED them thru John's writings?
When did good Friday and easter Sunday, the days in Rome’s gospel message, replace Passover and Feast of First Fruits in the ‘according to scripture’ gospel message Paul preached?
Paul’s gives us the plain gospel in 1 Corinthians 15 and instead of scripture, Rome has changed the date the Savior died and the day He was raised ...
And Christendom, not just catholics, worships from Rome’s story, not according to scripture..
Maybe it is also interesting we can see Paul telling the Corinthians to keep the Feast (Passover) in the same letter while Rome has substituted the biblical days for their own.
fascinating that Christendom today actually follows Rome’s version of the gospel and don’t even realize they are following a ‘different gospel’ than Paul preached.
Now, maybe we can understand a little more why Rome’s December 25, good Friday and easter Sunday are the holy days in christendom and not the biblical holy days the Savior fulfilled literally and spiritually..
Maybe why Paul spoke of Passover Lamb and First Fruits in the same letter he stated the plain gospel. Two feasts replaced in Christendom today for good Friday and easter Sunday..a subtle change but a change..
According to scripture or according to Rome..
Considering most of Israel had Passover on a pope Gregory Monday this year would make easter ‘Sunday’ a pope Gregory Wednesday this year..
Paul’s gospel according to scripture would mess up Rome’s liturgical and the pope gregory-gregorian world calendar..and expose them for the counterfeits they are..
The Messiah did die for our sins... on Passover.. as the Lamb... according to scripture.
Vs.
The Savior did die for our sins.... on Good Friday... according to Rome..
The Messiah was buried, and He rose again, the third day... on Feast of First Fruits. As First Fruits.. according to scripture.
Vs.
The Savior was buried, and He rose again, the third day... on Easter Sunday... according to Rome....
Maybe the enemy is that subtle...and Rome is exactly the vessel the first reformers thought she and her papacy was..
I readily admit I followed Rome’s version... but He led me away from it without me even knowing He was leading me away from it..
Today could be called Saturn’s day according to Rome or His 4th day according to His Word. I chose His way..
It is an eye opening experience but one that cannot be seen without His help..
Why do these churches have Christ dead on the cross at the front of their churches? He is risen, that is the glory of it, why do they continue to depict our risen savior dead on the cross? Because they cannot get beyond Christ and his crucifixion, its the resurrection that causes our salvation.
These are very telling verses, what is Paul teaching?
Gal 1:8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. Gal 1:9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
He was teaching grace, not works. But our churches today are still "working it out", you cannot be good enough for salvation, the last human that was good enough, got up and got out of here a long time ago.
