So, how did the Messiah fix what Adam broke?
1 Who has believed our report?
And to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed?
2 For He shall grow up before Him as a tender plant,
And as a root out of dry ground.
He has no form or comeliness;
And when we see Him,
There is no beauty that we should desire Him.
3 He is despised and rejected by men,
A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief.
And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him;
He was despised, and we did not esteem Him.
4 Surely He has borne our griefs
And carried our sorrows;
Yet we esteemed Him stricken,
Smitten by God, and afflicted.
5 But He was wounded for our transgressions,
He was bruised for our iniquities;
The chastisement for our peace was upon Him,
And by His stripes we are healed.
6 All we like sheep have gone astray;
We have turned, every one, to his own way;
And the LORD has laid on Him the iniquity of us all Isaiah 53
According to all Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, Moses, David, all of the prophets and the Apostles…the Messiah fixed everything, by taking the blame on Himself. It is simply put by the pastors and preachers that the Messiah died for the “sin” of the world. But the real explanation goes much further than that. Much further.
But the biggest question at this point in these studies is; what is “sin”? Why and how does this little word, seem to cause so much controversy? To start, we have to understand what “sin“ really means. Take a look at both of its definitions, both the Hebrew and the Greek.
Hebrew…(old testament)
1) to miss
2) to sin, miss the goal or path of right and duty
3) to incur guilt, incur penalty by sin, forfeit
Greek…(new testament)
a) to be without a share in
b) to miss the mark
c) to err, be mistaken
d) to miss or wander from the path of uprightness and honour, to do or go wrong
The one definition that both have in common; is to miss the mark.
If ‘sin’ is missing the mark, then the next question should be, what’s the mark?
In every church in the country, from every single denomination, you will hear the same thing over and over and over again. Don’t “sin”…don’t ‘sin‘…don’t ‘sin‘…right? We’ve all heard it, even if we don’t go to their churches, we’ve all still heard it many times; of this Im certain. But isn’t ‘sin’ knowing the difference between right and wrong? You would have no choice but to agree. The word ‘sin’…means you broke the law that tells you what not to do. ‘Sin’ is the knowledge of good an evil…right? Again, you have no choice, you have to agree with me. ‘Sin’ means you broke a law. But I thought He didn’t want us to have this knowledge in the first place? So why does this little word have such a large place in every church in the world?
Watch this…why are passages such as these held in silence from the teachers of today?
7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? Certainly not! On the contrary, I would not have known sin except through the law. For I would not have known covetousness unless the law had said, “You shall not covet.” Romans 7
Tell this to a teacher in the churches of today and they’ll put their ‘twist’ to it, and tell you the Apostle Paul is speaking about the Jewish ritual laws with what he said here in Romans. But this type of explanation is no more than a mouthful of foolishness. Know why? Try common sense…the Apostle Paul quotes one of the 10 commandments in his explanation. Paul is talking about the 10 moral commandments. He quotes the 10th command; Thou shall not covet.
The Jewish people received two types of law, one written, and one sacrificial or ritual law. The written law, is what we all know as the 10 commandments, and the sacrificial law, was far more detailed. They had received the temple ritual ordinances, the different animal sacrifices which were meant to be symbolic (having more than one meaning) and they also received a certain diet that they were supposed to follow. When the pastors and preachers are confronted with verses such as this in Romans, they say the Apostle Paul is speaking about the ritual law, and not the written or moral law. But as I showed you, common sense tells you what Paul is speaking of; seeing how he quotes the 10th commandment.
Why do they [i.e. the pastors] run from this you may ask? Because they have to, if they told the truth, they’d be out of a job. The people wouldn’t feel like a bunch of guilty sinners all the time, and instead of going to their churches, they would more than likely stay home and read this great book for themselves. Which is where they should be in the first place. Great teachers should teach their students how to teach themselves anyway, not keep them coming back to hear the same dribble week aft week…don’t you agree?
Sorry for getting off track, but there’s a whole lot of crap out there that these teachers say but the bible doesn’t, so when I run across it [i,e, this crap] I like to do my best to clean it up. Just like we‘re supposed to do in the parks after we walk our dogs…know what I mean?
So what did Paul mean in these verses?
7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? Certainly not! On the contrary, I would not have known sin except through the law. For I would not have known covetousness unless the law had said, “You shall not covet.”
You know Im telling you the truth when I say every church in the world tells you of this little word called ‘sin’ every chance they get…but why? Especially after reading what Paul says here. He’s saying that if it wasn’t for the law, we would not of known ‘sin’ to begin with.
Look what Paul says in the next verse of Romans chapter 7...
8 But sin, taking opportunity by the commandment, produced in me all manner of evil desire. For apart from the law sin was dead.
Do any of you have kids? When you tell them they can’t have something, they want it all the more, don’t they? That’s the human condition, and as we get older this doesn’t change, we just get better at hiding it. With that said, look again at the first part of verse 8...
8 But sin, taking opportunity by the commandment, produced in me all manner of evil desire.
Do you see what he’s saying? Knowing that the law said, don’t covet, the human condition wants to covet even more, just as an unruly child. Then Paul follows up with…
8. For apart from the law sin was dead.
So what is it Paul is saying? He is saying the same thing we were told in the garden, isn’t he? Our creator did not want us to understand the knowledge of good and evil to begin with, because it makes us worse, not better. It is killing us, and the Apostle Paul is saying the same exact thing; is he not?
No…then maybe the next two verses will change your mind…
9 I was alive once without the law, but when the commandment came, sin revived and I died. 10 And the commandment, which was to bring life, I found to bring death.
The knowledge of good and evil is killing us, and all of the Apostles knew it. And keep in mind, when Paul mentions the law here, or the commandment, he is speaking of the written moral law, the 10 commands, and he plainly says that is what kills. He is repeating the same thing our Creator mentioned in the garden…
16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, “Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; 17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.”
Genesis 2
So, is not Paul saying the same thing about ‘sin’?
10 And the commandment, which was to bring life, I found to bring death. Romans 7
Let’s eradicate some of the skeptics, because Ive heard the argument that this is the only time Paul mentions this, or even better, someone told me once that Paul is speaking of being the spirit when he said this, (whatever that means) but lets go somewhere else to read, just to make sure you know Im not cherry picking out of the bible.
14 having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross. Colossians 2
Paul say’s here that the law is against us, and that it is contrary to us. Pretty hard words against a law that’s force fed down the throats all of the Christian people of the world.
1 O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you that you should not obey the truth, before whose eyes the Messiah was clearly portrayed among you as crucified? 2 This only I want to learn from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? Galatians 3
Good stuff. See it yet? No? Well then how about this…
10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse; for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who does not continue in all things which are written in the book of the law, to do them.” 11 But that no one is justified by the law in the sight of God is evident, for “the just shall live by faith.” Galatians 3
Oh wait, I quoted Galatians twice…maybe Paul was having a bad day when he wrote Galatians. Lets try another…
14 For He Himself is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation, 15 having abolished in His flesh the enmity, that is, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, so as to create in Himself one new man from the two, thus making peace, Ephesians 2
Here the Apostle Paul calls the law an enmity, which is better translated as an enemy. Getting it yet?
9 and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith, Philippians 3
Paul say’s here that the law offers him his own righteousness [i.e self righteousness] which is obviously something he didn’t desire. Maybe that one wasn’t clear enough for you; my bad. Lets try this one…
20 Therefore by the deeds of the law no flesh will be justified in His sight, for by the law is the knowledge of sin. Romans 3
Again, I apologize…I quoted Romans, its hard not, it’s the book of the bible that nails the truth home. Lets try a different writer…
26 For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, Hebrews 10
Over and over again all of the Apostles are speaking of the same thing, the law is bad. Why? because through the law is the knowledge of ‘sin’ which is information He didn’t want us to have this in the first place.
So why don’t the teachers of today teach what the bible really has to say? I told you before of the simple explanation, that if they did; they would be out of a job. But it goes far deeper than that. It’s a combination of a lot of different things, and if you know anything of the studies on how to control the masses, you might have a pretty good understanding of what they’re up to. Look into the works of Edward Bernays, this will give you a pretty good idea of what been going on in the modern world.
The main tool of the pastors and preachers of today is guilt. If they can force feed you this highly charged feeling constantly, they can control you. Which is exactly what they use the bible to do.
Think about something…
The greatest man in society is the priest, and has been throughout all of history. Think of the first man to harness the power of fire, and this would be a good analogy of the priest. He has something everyone needs. Heat, light in darkness, the ability to cook food etc…With this knowledge that only he possesses, he can now control those around him, because he has what everybody needs. This is the priest, and this is what he is capable of doing. The priests of today don’t sell you fire that you can feel heat from, so to speak, it’s a different kind of fire. They sell a god to the masses. One they tell you only they can hear. And the bible is their source of fire, because the book itself carries with it an enormous amount of power in many different ways. But especially through its interpretation.
The bible is actually written on no more than a 4th or 5th grade reading level, 3rd if you’ve been raised in a private school. The book was meant to be easily understood to everyone. But because of centuries of traditional conditioning, they have confused the truth with their lies, and have made it seem to the people, that only those with degrees in theology have the ability to interpret its proper meaning.
Is the bible hard at times to understand?…yes, very much so. Because its written in symbolism. One meaning may have 3 more attached to it as you continue to grow and understand what the story is all about. The message is hidden in plain sight, its right there for you to find it, but you must be given eyes to see…
Hearing you will hear and shall not understand,
And seeing you will see and not perceive;
15 For the hearts of this people have grown dull.
Their ears are hard of hearing,
And their eyes they have closed,
Lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears,
Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn,
So that I should heal them.’ Matthew 13
6 For I desire mercy and not sacrifice,
And the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings. Hosea 6
…and there is only one way to obtain eyes that can see clearly,
6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. Hebrews 11
Have you noticed yet how heavy the words of this great book are to the human mind? It can almost instantly make you tired as you begin to read, and on top of it, this is not to be read as you would a normal book. Its not something you can read from beginning to end and understand when you are finished, you have to actually start in the new testament, and work your way though after you have experienced the life changing message of the Messiah. It and amazing way of writing, absolutely incredible.
The high priests know all of these things, and they use it against you.
Sorry, crap cleaning again. You know how it is. Have to try and clean up as much as you can before someone steps in it.
So now that you have seen how adamant the Apostles were in speaking out against the moral law, the next question should be why?
The answer is, because they fully understood what the Messiah had done to it. Which brings us back to the very first question I asked…
How did the Messiah fix, what Adam broke?
In the old testament of the bible, we learn of the beginning of time at the expulsion in the garden. Then, we learn of what this information we had received is capable of doing in the story of Cain and Able. Then we learn of Noah and the flood, with a few very important details in between, and then we learn of the father of ‘faith’; faithful Abram, who’s name was changed to Abraham. This is where the full story of the bible really starts to begin…
1 “Listen to Me, you who follow after righteousness,
You who seek the LORD:
Look to the rock from which you were hewn,
And to the hole of the pit from which you were dug.
2 Look to Abraham your father,
And to Sarah who bore you;
For I called him alone,
And blessed him and increased him.” Isaiah 51
Faithful Abraham very much lived up to his name; for Abraham was nothing but faithful to YHWH. He believed in Him with everything he had, which is what the Creator seeks after…those that believe. But Abraham’s ‘faith’ pleased YHWH, and as it is said in the bible…
6 just as Abraham “believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.”
Galatians 3
Abraham’s ‘faith’ alone is what had pleased the Creator, not Abraham’s works he did to abide by a law. Especially since at this time, the law didn’t even exist.
All of the promises of YHWH, were given to humanity because of the ‘faith’ of this man. To show those of the future, that there is nothing that pleases the Creator more, than just to believe with all of your heart that He exists…
29 the Messiah answered him, “The first of all the commandments is: ‘Hear, O Israel, the LORD our God, the LORD is one. 30 And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ Mark 12
This was the promise given to Abraham…
1 When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the LORD appeared to Abram and said to him, “I am Almighty God; walk before Me and be blameless. 2 And I will make My covenant between Me and you, and will multiply you exceedingly.” 3 Then Abram fell on his face, and God talked with him, saying: 4 “As for Me, behold, My covenant is with you, and you shall be a father of many nations. 5 No longer shall your name be called Abram, but your name shall be Abraham; for I have made you a father of many nations. 6 I will make you exceedingly fruitful; and I will make nations of you, and kings shall come from you. 7 And I will establish My covenant between Me and you and your descendants after you in their generations, for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and your descendants after you. Genesis 17
…And then he received a promise,
15 Then God said to Abraham, “As for Sarai your wife, you shall not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall be her name. 16 And I will bless her and also give you a son by her; then I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of peoples shall be from her.” Genesis 17
Just prior to this promise, Sara, Abraham’s wife could not conceive, so she had told Abraham to go to her handmaid Hagar to produce an heir to Abraham, and he did, and she did also, and Hagar bore a son to Abraham who was named Ishmael. But now as you can see in this promise the Creator made to Abraham and his wife, now Sara also will have a son, and she did…and he was named Isaac.
This is part of the bibles symbolism, the difference between the two sons of Abraham.
The first son that was born was Ishmael, and Ishmael was born to a slave woman. Hagar was the handmaid of Sara. But Isaac was not, he was born to the wife of Abraham who was not a slave. Sara was free.
With this being known, listen to how the Apostle Paul weaves the birth of these two sons, to the law given through Moses, and the promises given through the accomplishments of the Messiah,
21 Tell me, you who desire to be under the law, do you not hear the law? 22 For it is written that Abraham had two sons: the one by a bondwoman, the other by a freewoman. 23 But he who was of the bondwoman was born according to the flesh, and he of the freewoman through promise, 24 which things are symbolic. For these are the two covenants: the one from Mount Sinai which gives birth to bondage, which is Hagar— 25 for this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and corresponds to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children— 26 but the Jerusalem above is free, which is the mother of us all. 27 For it is written:
“ Rejoice, O barren,
You who do not bear!
Break forth and shout,
You who are not in labor!
For the desolate has many more children
Than she who has a husband.”
28 Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are children of promise. 29 But, as he who was born according to the flesh then persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, even so it is now. 30 Nevertheless what does the Scripture say? “Cast out the bondwoman and her son, for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman.” 31 So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman but of the free.
Do you see how clever Paul is in his writing?
The two sons are symbolic of the two covenants. The first covenant, or pledge YHWH made was with Moses and the ordinances in the law. The pledge was…now watch this close…but the pledge was that if the Jewish people would follow that pattern given on the mountain to Moses, they would continue to be blessed, but their commands were quite extreme. They had an enormous amount of duties to accomplish in the temple rituals. Sacrifices were to be made on a daily basis, and more so on the appointed holidays. They received the 10 moral commandments, or better known as the written law. The had a diet to follow, as well as a number of things they were not allowed to touch and do. Especially on the Sabbath.
This is symbolic of Ishmael, the son born of the slave. The other covenant was with His Son, Yehowshuwa.
With the Messiah there were no duties, no rituals, no cherished holidays, no ordinances and no law. Just one thing is required from you…’faith’
22 And whatever we ask we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and do those things that are pleasing in His sight. 23 And this is His commandment: that we should believe on the name of His Son Jesus Christ and love one another, as He gave us commandment. 1 John 3
This is symbolic of the legitimate heir Isaac, because Isaac was born of the free woman, Abrahams wife, Sara.
Do you remember this?
30 Nevertheless what does the Scripture say? “Cast out the bondwoman and her son, for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman.” 31 So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman but of the free. Galatians 3
The acknowledgment of the Mosaic law is an offence to the Creator. Should I say that again? The acknowledgement of the Mosaic law is an offence to your Creator. He has given you a choice, you can continue living as a slave to the law, and continue to live eating from the same tree we ate from in the garden; or you can be free.
Which one do you choose?
Listen to what Paul said to the Corinthians…
12 All things are lawful for me, but all things are not helpful. All things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any. 13 Foods for the stomach and the stomach for foods, but God will destroy both it and them. 1 Corinthian 6
Paul was so adamant about this fact, that he said it twice in the same book…
23 All things are lawful for me, but not all things are helpful; all things are lawful for me, but not all things edify. 1 Corinthians 10
All things are lawful. What does this mean? Is there any sort of biblical riddle attached to this message? No, there is not. All things means everything, and everything is a very big word. You know what everything means?
1 a : all that exists b : all that relates to the subject
2 : all that is important <you mean everything to me>
3 : all sorts of other things —used to indicate related but unspecified events, facts, or conditions <all the pains and colds and everything — E. B. White>
Where then is the law? Any of it? If all things are lawful for me to do, where then is the law. It doesn’t exist, why? Because the Messiah finished His work, and even the acknowledgement of the law is an offence to the Creator. As soon as you acknowledge the law, you deny the Son what He has finished.
So what’s the first question the skeptics will ask?
Question: Oh, so what you’re saying is I can do whatever I want?
Answer: Yes, you can. But not all things edify YHWH.
Question: So nothing is a ‘sin’?
Answer: Yes, there is one thing, and it is the only ‘sin’ that leads to death. Not believing
His Son the Messiah.
Question: So what, should I just run around and do whatever I want to do whenever I
want to do it?
Answer: Yes, you can. But the only thing that pleases Him is ‘faith’…and now that you
know this information, wouldn’t you rather search for ways to increase your
‘faith’ instead of feeding this body?
Question: How then are you held accountable for your actions?
Answer: You’re not held accountable for your actions, you are judged by you’re measure
of ‘faith’. Why or how can the Creator of the universe judge you, a mortal man
or woman, against a spiritual law? Its impossible and unfair. That is why He
will judge you only by the ‘faith’ you have in His Son. This you will be held
responsible for.
Question: Now you’re just twisting the bible and making this stuff up?
10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse; for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who does not continue in all things which are written in the book of the law, to do them.” 11 But that no one is justified by the law in the sight of God is evident, for “the just shall live by faith.” 12 Yet the law is not of faith, but “the man who does them shall live by them.”
13 Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”, 14 that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. Galatians 3
Answer: No I am not, it is the pastors and preachers priests and theologians that have
lied to you, I have told you the truth. Every single time you acknowledge the law
you deny the Messiah His right and what He has accomplished, and for this you
will be judged, not me. For I do not believe in ‘sin’ I believe in the full
accomplishments of the Messiah. He died for my ‘sin’; so it would be an offence
to my God that I even mention the fact that I can that I can offend Him through
breaking His spiritual law. I have been placed into a wicked body, that lives in a
wicked world, in my heart all I want to do is please my God and believe in His
Son, but this body I live in wants to do something else.
14 For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am carnal, sold under sin. 15 For what I am doing, I do not understand. For what I will to do, that I do not practice; but what I hate, that I do. 16 If, then, I do what I will not to do, I agree with the law that it is good. 17 But now, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me. 18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) nothing good dwells; for to will is present with me, but how to perform what is good I do not find. 19 For the good that I will to do, I do not do; but the evil I will not to do, that I practice. 20 Now if I do what I will not to do, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me.
21 I find then a law, that evil is present with me, the one who wills to do good. 22 For I delight in the law of God according to the inward man. 23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. 24 O wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? 25 I thank God—through Jesus Christ our Lord!
So then, with the mind I myself serve the law of God, but with the flesh the law of sin.
Romans 7
How did the Messiah fix what Adam broke?
By sacrificing himself to fix the error of Adam. Adam was rebellious, and chose not to listen to the Creator and gave mankind wisdom we have been using to judge and kill one another for centuries. The Messiah was obedient unto death, unlike Adam. He did nothing or judged no one that His Father told Him not to. But they judged Him, and they crucified Him; for the truth He spoke, and the way He looked and talked.
He fixed everything.
1 Who has believed our report?
And to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed?
2 For He shall grow up before Him as a tender plant,
And as a root out of dry ground.
He has no form or comeliness;
And when we see Him,
There is no beauty that we should desire Him.
3 He is despised and rejected by men,
A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief.
And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him;
He was despised, and we did not esteem Him.
4 Surely He has borne our griefs
And carried our sorrows;
Yet we esteemed Him stricken,
Smitten by God, and afflicted.
5 But He was wounded for our transgressions,
He was bruised for our iniquities;
The chastisement for our peace was upon Him,
And by His stripes we are healed.
6 All we like sheep have gone astray;
We have turned, every one, to his own way;
And the LORD has laid on Him the iniquity of us all Isaiah 53
According to all Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, Moses, David, all of the prophets and the Apostles…the Messiah fixed everything, by taking the blame on Himself. It is simply put by the pastors and preachers that the Messiah died for the “sin” of the world. But the real explanation goes much further than that. Much further.
But the biggest question at this point in these studies is; what is “sin”? Why and how does this little word, seem to cause so much controversy? To start, we have to understand what “sin“ really means. Take a look at both of its definitions, both the Hebrew and the Greek.
Hebrew…(old testament)
1) to miss
2) to sin, miss the goal or path of right and duty
3) to incur guilt, incur penalty by sin, forfeit
Greek…(new testament)
a) to be without a share in
b) to miss the mark
c) to err, be mistaken
d) to miss or wander from the path of uprightness and honour, to do or go wrong
The one definition that both have in common; is to miss the mark.
If ‘sin’ is missing the mark, then the next question should be, what’s the mark?
In every church in the country, from every single denomination, you will hear the same thing over and over and over again. Don’t “sin”…don’t ‘sin‘…don’t ‘sin‘…right? We’ve all heard it, even if we don’t go to their churches, we’ve all still heard it many times; of this Im certain. But isn’t ‘sin’ knowing the difference between right and wrong? You would have no choice but to agree. The word ‘sin’…means you broke the law that tells you what not to do. ‘Sin’ is the knowledge of good an evil…right? Again, you have no choice, you have to agree with me. ‘Sin’ means you broke a law. But I thought He didn’t want us to have this knowledge in the first place? So why does this little word have such a large place in every church in the world?
Watch this…why are passages such as these held in silence from the teachers of today?
7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? Certainly not! On the contrary, I would not have known sin except through the law. For I would not have known covetousness unless the law had said, “You shall not covet.” Romans 7
Tell this to a teacher in the churches of today and they’ll put their ‘twist’ to it, and tell you the Apostle Paul is speaking about the Jewish ritual laws with what he said here in Romans. But this type of explanation is no more than a mouthful of foolishness. Know why? Try common sense…the Apostle Paul quotes one of the 10 commandments in his explanation. Paul is talking about the 10 moral commandments. He quotes the 10th command; Thou shall not covet.
The Jewish people received two types of law, one written, and one sacrificial or ritual law. The written law, is what we all know as the 10 commandments, and the sacrificial law, was far more detailed. They had received the temple ritual ordinances, the different animal sacrifices which were meant to be symbolic (having more than one meaning) and they also received a certain diet that they were supposed to follow. When the pastors and preachers are confronted with verses such as this in Romans, they say the Apostle Paul is speaking about the ritual law, and not the written or moral law. But as I showed you, common sense tells you what Paul is speaking of; seeing how he quotes the 10th commandment.
Why do they [i.e. the pastors] run from this you may ask? Because they have to, if they told the truth, they’d be out of a job. The people wouldn’t feel like a bunch of guilty sinners all the time, and instead of going to their churches, they would more than likely stay home and read this great book for themselves. Which is where they should be in the first place. Great teachers should teach their students how to teach themselves anyway, not keep them coming back to hear the same dribble week aft week…don’t you agree?
Sorry for getting off track, but there’s a whole lot of crap out there that these teachers say but the bible doesn’t, so when I run across it [i,e, this crap] I like to do my best to clean it up. Just like we‘re supposed to do in the parks after we walk our dogs…know what I mean?
So what did Paul mean in these verses?
7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? Certainly not! On the contrary, I would not have known sin except through the law. For I would not have known covetousness unless the law had said, “You shall not covet.”
You know Im telling you the truth when I say every church in the world tells you of this little word called ‘sin’ every chance they get…but why? Especially after reading what Paul says here. He’s saying that if it wasn’t for the law, we would not of known ‘sin’ to begin with.
Look what Paul says in the next verse of Romans chapter 7...
8 But sin, taking opportunity by the commandment, produced in me all manner of evil desire. For apart from the law sin was dead.
Do any of you have kids? When you tell them they can’t have something, they want it all the more, don’t they? That’s the human condition, and as we get older this doesn’t change, we just get better at hiding it. With that said, look again at the first part of verse 8...
8 But sin, taking opportunity by the commandment, produced in me all manner of evil desire.
Do you see what he’s saying? Knowing that the law said, don’t covet, the human condition wants to covet even more, just as an unruly child. Then Paul follows up with…
8. For apart from the law sin was dead.
So what is it Paul is saying? He is saying the same thing we were told in the garden, isn’t he? Our creator did not want us to understand the knowledge of good and evil to begin with, because it makes us worse, not better. It is killing us, and the Apostle Paul is saying the same exact thing; is he not?
No…then maybe the next two verses will change your mind…
9 I was alive once without the law, but when the commandment came, sin revived and I died. 10 And the commandment, which was to bring life, I found to bring death.
The knowledge of good and evil is killing us, and all of the Apostles knew it. And keep in mind, when Paul mentions the law here, or the commandment, he is speaking of the written moral law, the 10 commands, and he plainly says that is what kills. He is repeating the same thing our Creator mentioned in the garden…
16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, “Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; 17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.”
Genesis 2
So, is not Paul saying the same thing about ‘sin’?
10 And the commandment, which was to bring life, I found to bring death. Romans 7
Let’s eradicate some of the skeptics, because Ive heard the argument that this is the only time Paul mentions this, or even better, someone told me once that Paul is speaking of being the spirit when he said this, (whatever that means) but lets go somewhere else to read, just to make sure you know Im not cherry picking out of the bible.
14 having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross. Colossians 2
Paul say’s here that the law is against us, and that it is contrary to us. Pretty hard words against a law that’s force fed down the throats all of the Christian people of the world.
1 O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you that you should not obey the truth, before whose eyes the Messiah was clearly portrayed among you as crucified? 2 This only I want to learn from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? Galatians 3
Good stuff. See it yet? No? Well then how about this…
10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse; for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who does not continue in all things which are written in the book of the law, to do them.” 11 But that no one is justified by the law in the sight of God is evident, for “the just shall live by faith.” Galatians 3
Oh wait, I quoted Galatians twice…maybe Paul was having a bad day when he wrote Galatians. Lets try another…
14 For He Himself is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation, 15 having abolished in His flesh the enmity, that is, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, so as to create in Himself one new man from the two, thus making peace, Ephesians 2
Here the Apostle Paul calls the law an enmity, which is better translated as an enemy. Getting it yet?
9 and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith, Philippians 3
Paul say’s here that the law offers him his own righteousness [i.e self righteousness] which is obviously something he didn’t desire. Maybe that one wasn’t clear enough for you; my bad. Lets try this one…
20 Therefore by the deeds of the law no flesh will be justified in His sight, for by the law is the knowledge of sin. Romans 3
Again, I apologize…I quoted Romans, its hard not, it’s the book of the bible that nails the truth home. Lets try a different writer…
26 For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, Hebrews 10
Over and over again all of the Apostles are speaking of the same thing, the law is bad. Why? because through the law is the knowledge of ‘sin’ which is information He didn’t want us to have this in the first place.
So why don’t the teachers of today teach what the bible really has to say? I told you before of the simple explanation, that if they did; they would be out of a job. But it goes far deeper than that. It’s a combination of a lot of different things, and if you know anything of the studies on how to control the masses, you might have a pretty good understanding of what they’re up to. Look into the works of Edward Bernays, this will give you a pretty good idea of what been going on in the modern world.
The main tool of the pastors and preachers of today is guilt. If they can force feed you this highly charged feeling constantly, they can control you. Which is exactly what they use the bible to do.
Think about something…
The greatest man in society is the priest, and has been throughout all of history. Think of the first man to harness the power of fire, and this would be a good analogy of the priest. He has something everyone needs. Heat, light in darkness, the ability to cook food etc…With this knowledge that only he possesses, he can now control those around him, because he has what everybody needs. This is the priest, and this is what he is capable of doing. The priests of today don’t sell you fire that you can feel heat from, so to speak, it’s a different kind of fire. They sell a god to the masses. One they tell you only they can hear. And the bible is their source of fire, because the book itself carries with it an enormous amount of power in many different ways. But especially through its interpretation.
The bible is actually written on no more than a 4th or 5th grade reading level, 3rd if you’ve been raised in a private school. The book was meant to be easily understood to everyone. But because of centuries of traditional conditioning, they have confused the truth with their lies, and have made it seem to the people, that only those with degrees in theology have the ability to interpret its proper meaning.
Is the bible hard at times to understand?…yes, very much so. Because its written in symbolism. One meaning may have 3 more attached to it as you continue to grow and understand what the story is all about. The message is hidden in plain sight, its right there for you to find it, but you must be given eyes to see…
Hearing you will hear and shall not understand,
And seeing you will see and not perceive;
15 For the hearts of this people have grown dull.
Their ears are hard of hearing,
And their eyes they have closed,
Lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears,
Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn,
So that I should heal them.’ Matthew 13
6 For I desire mercy and not sacrifice,
And the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings. Hosea 6
…and there is only one way to obtain eyes that can see clearly,
6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. Hebrews 11
Have you noticed yet how heavy the words of this great book are to the human mind? It can almost instantly make you tired as you begin to read, and on top of it, this is not to be read as you would a normal book. Its not something you can read from beginning to end and understand when you are finished, you have to actually start in the new testament, and work your way though after you have experienced the life changing message of the Messiah. It and amazing way of writing, absolutely incredible.
The high priests know all of these things, and they use it against you.
Sorry, crap cleaning again. You know how it is. Have to try and clean up as much as you can before someone steps in it.
So now that you have seen how adamant the Apostles were in speaking out against the moral law, the next question should be why?
The answer is, because they fully understood what the Messiah had done to it. Which brings us back to the very first question I asked…
How did the Messiah fix, what Adam broke?
In the old testament of the bible, we learn of the beginning of time at the expulsion in the garden. Then, we learn of what this information we had received is capable of doing in the story of Cain and Able. Then we learn of Noah and the flood, with a few very important details in between, and then we learn of the father of ‘faith’; faithful Abram, who’s name was changed to Abraham. This is where the full story of the bible really starts to begin…
1 “Listen to Me, you who follow after righteousness,
You who seek the LORD:
Look to the rock from which you were hewn,
And to the hole of the pit from which you were dug.
2 Look to Abraham your father,
And to Sarah who bore you;
For I called him alone,
And blessed him and increased him.” Isaiah 51
Faithful Abraham very much lived up to his name; for Abraham was nothing but faithful to YHWH. He believed in Him with everything he had, which is what the Creator seeks after…those that believe. But Abraham’s ‘faith’ pleased YHWH, and as it is said in the bible…
6 just as Abraham “believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.”
Galatians 3
Abraham’s ‘faith’ alone is what had pleased the Creator, not Abraham’s works he did to abide by a law. Especially since at this time, the law didn’t even exist.
All of the promises of YHWH, were given to humanity because of the ‘faith’ of this man. To show those of the future, that there is nothing that pleases the Creator more, than just to believe with all of your heart that He exists…
29 the Messiah answered him, “The first of all the commandments is: ‘Hear, O Israel, the LORD our God, the LORD is one. 30 And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ Mark 12
This was the promise given to Abraham…
1 When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the LORD appeared to Abram and said to him, “I am Almighty God; walk before Me and be blameless. 2 And I will make My covenant between Me and you, and will multiply you exceedingly.” 3 Then Abram fell on his face, and God talked with him, saying: 4 “As for Me, behold, My covenant is with you, and you shall be a father of many nations. 5 No longer shall your name be called Abram, but your name shall be Abraham; for I have made you a father of many nations. 6 I will make you exceedingly fruitful; and I will make nations of you, and kings shall come from you. 7 And I will establish My covenant between Me and you and your descendants after you in their generations, for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and your descendants after you. Genesis 17
…And then he received a promise,
15 Then God said to Abraham, “As for Sarai your wife, you shall not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall be her name. 16 And I will bless her and also give you a son by her; then I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of peoples shall be from her.” Genesis 17
Just prior to this promise, Sara, Abraham’s wife could not conceive, so she had told Abraham to go to her handmaid Hagar to produce an heir to Abraham, and he did, and she did also, and Hagar bore a son to Abraham who was named Ishmael. But now as you can see in this promise the Creator made to Abraham and his wife, now Sara also will have a son, and she did…and he was named Isaac.
This is part of the bibles symbolism, the difference between the two sons of Abraham.
The first son that was born was Ishmael, and Ishmael was born to a slave woman. Hagar was the handmaid of Sara. But Isaac was not, he was born to the wife of Abraham who was not a slave. Sara was free.
With this being known, listen to how the Apostle Paul weaves the birth of these two sons, to the law given through Moses, and the promises given through the accomplishments of the Messiah,
21 Tell me, you who desire to be under the law, do you not hear the law? 22 For it is written that Abraham had two sons: the one by a bondwoman, the other by a freewoman. 23 But he who was of the bondwoman was born according to the flesh, and he of the freewoman through promise, 24 which things are symbolic. For these are the two covenants: the one from Mount Sinai which gives birth to bondage, which is Hagar— 25 for this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and corresponds to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children— 26 but the Jerusalem above is free, which is the mother of us all. 27 For it is written:
“ Rejoice, O barren,
You who do not bear!
Break forth and shout,
You who are not in labor!
For the desolate has many more children
Than she who has a husband.”
28 Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are children of promise. 29 But, as he who was born according to the flesh then persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, even so it is now. 30 Nevertheless what does the Scripture say? “Cast out the bondwoman and her son, for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman.” 31 So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman but of the free.
Do you see how clever Paul is in his writing?
The two sons are symbolic of the two covenants. The first covenant, or pledge YHWH made was with Moses and the ordinances in the law. The pledge was…now watch this close…but the pledge was that if the Jewish people would follow that pattern given on the mountain to Moses, they would continue to be blessed, but their commands were quite extreme. They had an enormous amount of duties to accomplish in the temple rituals. Sacrifices were to be made on a daily basis, and more so on the appointed holidays. They received the 10 moral commandments, or better known as the written law. The had a diet to follow, as well as a number of things they were not allowed to touch and do. Especially on the Sabbath.
This is symbolic of Ishmael, the son born of the slave. The other covenant was with His Son, Yehowshuwa.
With the Messiah there were no duties, no rituals, no cherished holidays, no ordinances and no law. Just one thing is required from you…’faith’
22 And whatever we ask we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and do those things that are pleasing in His sight. 23 And this is His commandment: that we should believe on the name of His Son Jesus Christ and love one another, as He gave us commandment. 1 John 3
This is symbolic of the legitimate heir Isaac, because Isaac was born of the free woman, Abrahams wife, Sara.
Do you remember this?
30 Nevertheless what does the Scripture say? “Cast out the bondwoman and her son, for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman.” 31 So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman but of the free. Galatians 3
The acknowledgment of the Mosaic law is an offence to the Creator. Should I say that again? The acknowledgement of the Mosaic law is an offence to your Creator. He has given you a choice, you can continue living as a slave to the law, and continue to live eating from the same tree we ate from in the garden; or you can be free.
Which one do you choose?
Listen to what Paul said to the Corinthians…
12 All things are lawful for me, but all things are not helpful. All things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any. 13 Foods for the stomach and the stomach for foods, but God will destroy both it and them. 1 Corinthian 6
Paul was so adamant about this fact, that he said it twice in the same book…
23 All things are lawful for me, but not all things are helpful; all things are lawful for me, but not all things edify. 1 Corinthians 10
All things are lawful. What does this mean? Is there any sort of biblical riddle attached to this message? No, there is not. All things means everything, and everything is a very big word. You know what everything means?
1 a : all that exists b : all that relates to the subject
2 : all that is important <you mean everything to me>
3 : all sorts of other things —used to indicate related but unspecified events, facts, or conditions <all the pains and colds and everything — E. B. White>
Where then is the law? Any of it? If all things are lawful for me to do, where then is the law. It doesn’t exist, why? Because the Messiah finished His work, and even the acknowledgement of the law is an offence to the Creator. As soon as you acknowledge the law, you deny the Son what He has finished.
So what’s the first question the skeptics will ask?
Question: Oh, so what you’re saying is I can do whatever I want?
Answer: Yes, you can. But not all things edify YHWH.
Question: So nothing is a ‘sin’?
Answer: Yes, there is one thing, and it is the only ‘sin’ that leads to death. Not believing
His Son the Messiah.
Question: So what, should I just run around and do whatever I want to do whenever I
want to do it?
Answer: Yes, you can. But the only thing that pleases Him is ‘faith’…and now that you
know this information, wouldn’t you rather search for ways to increase your
‘faith’ instead of feeding this body?
Question: How then are you held accountable for your actions?
Answer: You’re not held accountable for your actions, you are judged by you’re measure
of ‘faith’. Why or how can the Creator of the universe judge you, a mortal man
or woman, against a spiritual law? Its impossible and unfair. That is why He
will judge you only by the ‘faith’ you have in His Son. This you will be held
responsible for.
Question: Now you’re just twisting the bible and making this stuff up?
10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse; for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who does not continue in all things which are written in the book of the law, to do them.” 11 But that no one is justified by the law in the sight of God is evident, for “the just shall live by faith.” 12 Yet the law is not of faith, but “the man who does them shall live by them.”
13 Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”, 14 that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. Galatians 3
Answer: No I am not, it is the pastors and preachers priests and theologians that have
lied to you, I have told you the truth. Every single time you acknowledge the law
you deny the Messiah His right and what He has accomplished, and for this you
will be judged, not me. For I do not believe in ‘sin’ I believe in the full
accomplishments of the Messiah. He died for my ‘sin’; so it would be an offence
to my God that I even mention the fact that I can that I can offend Him through
breaking His spiritual law. I have been placed into a wicked body, that lives in a
wicked world, in my heart all I want to do is please my God and believe in His
Son, but this body I live in wants to do something else.
14 For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am carnal, sold under sin. 15 For what I am doing, I do not understand. For what I will to do, that I do not practice; but what I hate, that I do. 16 If, then, I do what I will not to do, I agree with the law that it is good. 17 But now, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me. 18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) nothing good dwells; for to will is present with me, but how to perform what is good I do not find. 19 For the good that I will to do, I do not do; but the evil I will not to do, that I practice. 20 Now if I do what I will not to do, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me.
21 I find then a law, that evil is present with me, the one who wills to do good. 22 For I delight in the law of God according to the inward man. 23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. 24 O wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? 25 I thank God—through Jesus Christ our Lord!
So then, with the mind I myself serve the law of God, but with the flesh the law of sin.
Romans 7
How did the Messiah fix what Adam broke?
By sacrificing himself to fix the error of Adam. Adam was rebellious, and chose not to listen to the Creator and gave mankind wisdom we have been using to judge and kill one another for centuries. The Messiah was obedient unto death, unlike Adam. He did nothing or judged no one that His Father told Him not to. But they judged Him, and they crucified Him; for the truth He spoke, and the way He looked and talked.
He fixed everything.
