New Covenant v. Old Covenant – Laws and Application of same…

Religion - Christianity, , , , , , , , , ,
What is the New Covenant? What Commandments does it retain and what Commandments does it nullify?

The New Covenant, as established in Messiah’s blood at Golgotha (Matthew 26:28), is a covenant of restoration, forgiveness of sin, redemption, intimacy, renewal, initiated by faith-belief in Messiah Jesus (John 3:16) as the Messiah who died to pay our sin-debt; that is, a New Covenant between Elohim and mankind engendered by trusting-believing that Jesus is the Messiah as promised throughout the Scriptures (Genesis 3:15; 21; Deuteronomy 18:15; Acts 3:22; John 6:29) who has entered the Realm of Time in order to defeat and destroy the works of Satan i.e., death-Hell-the Grave (1 John 3:8b) via a Gospel (an act of selfless love) which was ordained “before Time began” (2 Timothy 1:8-10). The Father has promised to forgive-forget-forever the sins of the one who trusts in the Son, Jesus our Messiah (Hebrews 8:12), and the Father has promised to endow the redeemed in Jesus with the precious indwelling Holy Spirit who is the Guarantor-Seal of New Covenant promise, FOREVER (Ephesians 1:13-14).

Law in the New Covenant v. Law in the Old Covenant,

Commandments, edicts, rules, days, diets, were all a foreshadowing of Messiah in that these pointed to Messiah who would be the only One capable of keeping them, obeying them, honoring them, with absolute perfection and thus make Himself the only One authorized and anointed to pay the penalty for sin; that is, the Spotless-Sinless-Holy-Undefiled “Lamb of Elohim who takes away the sins of the World” (John 1:29-32; 1 Peter 1:18-19) via obedience to Leviticus 17:11.

The astute and discerning Hebrew understood his/her inability to honor Elohim through perfect obedience due the Adamic sin-nature (Romans 5:12; Ecclesiastes 7:20) and they intuitively understood the necessity for a Messiah to go before them and present them blameless before the Father; hence, they understood the need for faith and trusted in Elohim as the one true “God” (Hebrews 11).

Sinai as a bulwark against paganism,

Commandment keeping – rule keeping – Sinai – Moses’ 603 edicts – these were given specifically to the children of Israel for eschatological purposes concerning the coming Messiah via Judah as the Father was concerned relevant to Israel’s compromise with paganism; therefore, the Father codified certain relevant moral and civil laws and etched the most relevant/crucial edicts into stone tablets and presented them to Moses to be distributed/taught among the Tribes; this, in Elohim’s efforts to stymie/thwart Israel’s compromise with Baal and Molech and the pagan tribes/demonic traditions that surrounded them and thereby Elohim sought to stymie a repeat of the atrocious failures exhibited by the Adamic and Noahic generations where all of humanity was judged unto death by water save eight as these generations defiled themselves with the demonic and thwarted their ordination as progenitors of the Messiah.

In the New Covenant,

In the New Covenant, the Law of Elohim is written upon the human heart (Romans 2:14-15), not etched in stone tablets, and these Laws are arbitrated by the redeemed conscience of those who have trusted in Jesus (2 Corinthians 5:17; Ezekiel 11:19, Ezekiel 36:26, Jeremiah 31:33, Hebrews 8:10). No longer does mankind seek righteousness through law-keeping (Galatians 2:16) but in the New Covenant, the indwelling Holy Spirit works via daily Christian sanctification through the redeemed conscience of mankind (Galatians 5:16; John 14:16) and produces divine “fruit” (Galatians 5:22-23) through the redeemed in Jesus and this divine fruit fulfills all Law (Galatians 5:23), even those laws that are not codified for the children of Israel – the moral-ethical-holy Law as written upon the human heart is complete, comprehensive and not fragmented or stymied by codification in letters but wholly addresses the comprehensive will of the Father for humanity; it is this divine fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:16-23) that actually honors the Father, eternally, and proves one to be a legitimate, valid, redeemed, born-again (John 3:5) servant of Jesus our Messiah and thus the Father is honored, eternally, by those who honor Jesus as their Messiah (John 15:8).

It is written,

Life in the Spirit

8 There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. 2 For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death. 3 For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do. By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh, 4 in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. 5 For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. 6 For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace. 7 For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God’s law; indeed, it cannot. 8 Those who are in the flesh cannot please God. Romans 8 (ESV)

Animal Blood Sacrifices in the Bible, Why?

Religion - Christianity, , , , , , , , , , ,

Why did Elohim institute animal “blood sacrifices” under the Levitical Law given Israel’s children?

Animal blood sacrifices could never take away sin (Hebrews 10:4) but their purpose was two-fold:

1) The blood of animals, first exemplified in Genesis 3:21 following Adam’s compromise with evil and later enacted through Levitical Law as per Leviticus 17:11, foreshadowed the only acceptable atoning sacrifice for the sins of humanity; that is, the sinless blood of Jesus our Messiah shed at Golgotha which initiated the New Covenant and provided forgiveness of sin by New Covenant promise actuated by faith (Matthew 26:28; 1 Peter 1:18-19; Hebrews 8:12; John 3:16).

2) From the beginning, “faith” has been the KEY to Elohim’s heart (Hebrews 11); that is, believing that Elohim is true and will do exactly as He has promised in His spoken and written words. It was NOT the blood sacrifice offered by the children of Israel that made one righteous or “right” with Elohim (Hebrews 10:4) but it was the “faith” of the one offering the sacrifice that engendered covenant righteousness (a right standing) with the Father.

With that said, those in the Old Testament who were made right with Elohim through faith were not permitted to enter Elohim’s presence in the Kingdom as the acceptable atonement via Messiah had not yet manifest as “nothing impure will ever enter therein” (Revelation 21:27); therefore, Old Testament saints were detained in Sheol-Paradise awaiting Messiah’s atonement and were subsequently escorted into the Kingdom by Messiah while His body of flesh lie in state for three-days (Luke 16; Psalm 16:10; Luke 23:43) .

In conclusion,

Torah and its laws, sacrifices, covenants, were simply a divine roadmap leading to our need for Messiah Jesus by faith; therefore, Torah was NEVER the destination as Jesus is the only Way, the only Truth, the only Path to LIFE available to humanity as Jesus is the fulfillment of all that Torah foreshadowed (John 14:6; Galatians 3:24). If one perishes in Torah, they perish in Hell in their sin; Jesus as one’s Messiah by faith is the divine Answer and the only acceptable Solution to mankind’s sin problem (Ephesians 4:7-10; Acts 4:12).

Did Omniscient Elohim create the Adamic/Noahic generation’s only to destroy them in Judgment by water?

Did omniscient Elohim create the Adamic/Noahic generation’s only to destroy them in Judgment by water?

FREE WILL, volition infused into both the angelic and human creations is the mover of our Creator’s heart. He is absolutely neutral at the point He creates you in your mother’s womb and places the spirit of life in your genome; yes, Elohim does impart gifts and anointing but the recipient must freely choose to employ same …Elohim does not create you evil or good but neutral with a conscience of sufficient magnitude and cognition to intuitively know, differentiate, good from evil, right from wrong, though this inner-voice of consciousness (Romans 2:14-15) does require “time” to mature sufficiently where the conscience is beleaguered by aberrant conduct and pleased-finds joy with good, sustainable, conduct; therefore, Elohim’s compassion and tolerance for sin extends from birth until a time of accountability is fixed in the human conscience…this time varies among individuals in accordance with a myriad of environmental and physiological factors but rest assured, our Creator knows our thoughts intimately (Psalm 139:2).

Subsequent Adam’s compromise with evil, the human genome was corrupted and fell prey to atrophy, degradation as did all of nature, the 2nd-Law of Thermodynamics (Romans 8:22-23; Genesis 3:17). There was an exponential rise in genomic degradation during the Adamic/Noahic generational maturation; that is, the infusion of the demonic, the Nepilim, an unconscionable compromise with Satan and certain demonic forces that were so very vile and defiled that they have been bound in Hell to this very day and they will not be released until subsequent Messiah’s Millennial Kingdom and the final battle between Elohim and Satan (Jude 1:6) prefacing the Judgment of the Condemned (Revelation 20:10-15) and the destruction/purification of the Earth and Heavens by fire (1 Peter 3:10; Revelation 21:1).

Elohim’s ONLY reason for having created matter, Time, physics, the Heaven’s the Earth, our genome, is as an alternate battle ground for the Great Kingdom War initiated by Satan…this war was removed from the Kingdom where NOTHING impure is permitted to exist (Revelation 21:7; Revelation 12). From the earliest pages of The Genesis, we are introduced to Satan and observe his charisma and deception in Eden which ultimately led to the Adamic fall (Romans 5:12; Genesis 3; Ezekiel 28:11+).

Elohim’s eschatological plan from “before the beginning of Time” has always been “The Gospel of Jesus Christ” infused into Time as a battle strategy (2 Timothy 1:8-10; Genesis 3:21) to deal with Satan; in fact, the ONLY reason Messiah Jesus took-on flesh via hypostasis (Philippians 2:6-11) was “to destroy the works of Satan” (1 John 3:8b). This spiritual war was formerly declared in Genesis 3:15, the battle strategy first pictured in Genesis 3:21 (Elohim shedding innocent blood to cover the sins of humanity) and the remaining plethora of Scripture from Genesis 3 to Revelation 22 is the fulfillment of this eschatological plan ultimately reaching an initial divine goal 4000-years later on Mt. Golgotha/Calvary/Moriah outside the Old City of Jerusalem, Israel on a Roman Cross where the sinless blood of Messiah Jesus dripped into the sands of Golgotha and the Father declared victory through the blood atonement which defeated death, Hell, the Grave, for all who believe (John 26:28; John 3:16; 1 Peter 1:18-19; Leviticus 17:11).

Concerning the Adamic and Noahic generations…

Elohim’s initial desire was that the Adamic and Noahic generations be the progenitors of Messiah and through the catalyst of faith, these generations would honor Elohim and His will for all of humanity; that is, to live and thrive through obedience and holiness concerning Elohim’s perfect will but these generations freely chose defilement which is briefly documented by the Holy Spirit in Romans 1:18-32 (Genesis 6:5).

Elohim’s eschatological plan would NOT be deterred by the defilement of Adam’s and Noah’s generation’s but Elohim allowed this human defilement with Satan’s servants and used same as a stark and terrifying example to the faithful angelic creation of the ramifications of disobedience and their former “boss,” Satan, was clearly revealed as the root initiator of this horror (John 8:44), defilement and ultimate Judgment; in fact. Elohim is making a spectacle of Satan’s works and has been for over 6000-years which will act as a bulwark against future rebellion in the Kingdom of Elohim as free will exists there as well; this, by necessity; therefore, both the faithful angelic creation and the redeemed in Jesus in resurrected bodies serving in the New Jerusalem will fully understand by experiential relevance that obedience is eternally superior to rebellion.

Our entire creation is predicated upon WAR…the Adamic and Noahic generations freely chose to war against Elohim through their alliance with Satan, the demonic…there was no way those generations would recover or be redeemed as their conscience was seared, the defilement ran so deep that grace and mercy would NEVER be realized through faith yet Elohim’s struggle with Satan remained; therefore, Noah found favor with Elohim via faith (Genesis 6:8); therefore, Elohim chose to begin anew via Noah and his family via Shem, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Judah, Jesus, the Covenant of Law and the New Covenant of Grace established in the blood of Jesus our Messiah (Matthew 26:28).

I understand that internalizing these truths is difficult for one who is consumed with hatred for our Creator, the Bible, one who has been deceived by “religion,” but know that Elohim’s primary DIVINE concern is His intimate relationship with His cherished, faithful, angelic creation and you and I are part of an eschatological plan that involves demonstrating to that faithful angelic creation why Satan was extricated from his position of authority in the Kingdom and why obedience is superior to disobedience as what is being demonstrated is that life and peace flow from obedience to Elohim’s will but unfathomable horror and suffering are the resultant of rejecting Elohim’s will, love and compassion.

Many have asked the question, “Why didn’t Elohim simply destroy Satan?” First of all, Satan is angelic…he will never die…death is foreign to the angelic creation (Luke 20:36) and if Elohim via His omnipotence decided to violate that eternal truth and destroy Satan and the one-third of the angelic creation that followed him in the rebellion, the question is posited, “Would the faithful angelic creation truly love Elohim for Who He is, a loving and compassionate Creator or would they obey strictly out of fear thereby nullifying intimacy and cherished interpersonal relationship?” “Can authentic love exist void free will and can intimacy exist in an atmosphere of fear?”

It is a divine Truth that had Satan not rebelled, humanity would have NEVER been created and it is a divine Truth that Elohim loves His angelic creation beyond human comprehension…maintaining divine intimacy with them is the root of our Genesis.

Why the Noahic Flood?

Why the Noahic Flood?

If you understood causation for the creation narrative and Elohim’s eschatological objectives through humanity concerning the Messiah and the defeat of Satan (Genesis 3:15; 1 John 3:8b), you would understand that the Adamic-Noahic generations had defiled themselves to such a degree; this, with the demonic, that they forfeited their fore-ordination as progenitors of the Messiah and the genome had become irreparably corrupted via the demonic; therefore, Elohim’s only viable option was to eradicate both generations save eight and begin anew with Noah and Noah’s family (Genesis 6:5).

This is why Elohim set apart, sanctified, Noah, Shem, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (Israel) and ultimately Judah and why Elohim codified His spiritual law in stone at Sinai and presented same to Moses to disseminate among the Tribes as Elohim sanctified Israel’s children as His own and commanded that they be holy as He is Holy (Leviticus 21:8). Israel’s children were ordained to be the progenitors of the Messiah; the recipients of the New Covenant; the proselytizers of the Great Commission; a blessing to every family of the Earth (Genesis 12:3b); therefore, the sanctification or setting apart of Israel from the paganism that surrounded them was critically essential without compromise.

Elohim’s eschatological will concerning the restoration of holiness and righteousness to His Kingdom, a righteousness and holiness corrupted by a rebellious cherub angel before the creation of Time, will not be deterred by mankind’s free will choices via an Adamic sin-nature; therefore, Elohim has provided human kind with instructions, notifications, promises, concerning His eschatological plan for Time and  Eternity and Elohim has explained our temporary role in that divine  plan; this, via the Canon of Scripture and from the mouth of Elohim in flesh, Jesus our Messiah (John 1; Hebrews 1; Colossians 1; John 10:30;  John 14:9); therefore, human kind can freely choose to honor Elohim by faith in Jesus, trust Him and obey Him and LIVE – or – humanity can choose their own path through this temporary life constrained by Time and physics and die apart from Elohim’s will; that is, die the “second  death” in Hell as their unrepentant sin and absence of faith will NOT be permitted to enter the Kingdom, therefore, total destruction of the corrupted soul, mind, body, spirit, is tragically necessary as “nothing  impure” will ever enter the Kingdom of Elohim (Revelation 21:27).

Is Atheism-Secular Humanism-Evolution truly LOGICAL or REASONABLE? Why not the Bible?

Is Atheism-Secular Humanism-Evolution truly LOGICAL or REASONABLE? Why not the Bible?

When one reads the Scriptures with a heart willing to receive and believe, we are introduced to a World that is far superior to our temporary World constrained by Time, physics, the 2nd Law of THD. We are told that an unfathomable rebellion manifest in a Realm referenced as the Spiritual…a Realm that is not visible to the human eye but a Realm that is infinitely superior to our own, a Realm that permeates us, surrounds us, a Realm that our senses detect and long to interact with in a most mysterious way.

Within the Canon of Scripture, we are introduced to a Deity, Elohim (Genesis 1:1), Who is described as infinite, having no genesis or finality, Who created Time and matter as a repository for a war that manifest in the Spiritual Realm having placed the destructiveness of that war within the created Realm of Time and physics and that Deity is presently dealing with the participants and initiator of that war here, apart from the Realm of the Spiritual where nothing impure is permitted to exist (Rev 21:27).

That Deity provides you and me with His “declaration of war” in Genesis 3:15 and provides us a picture of His battle strategy in Genesis 3:21 and going forward (Genesis to Revelation), that Deity articulates everything He has done and will do to defeat His enemies through His own selfless love, a selfless love that targets and glorifies Messiah’s sacrifice at Golgotha 2000-years ago outside the Old City of Jerusalem.

That same Deity provides us with an eschatological window, 90% of which has already come to fruition EXACTLY as He said it would. Why is it so difficult for the atheist to step back and at least attempt to internalize the 66-love letters that our Creator has left us in the Biblical record and the words He has provided us in the hypostatic union of flesh and deity via Jesus our Messiah?

Seeing that our Creator has formed the Heavens and the Earth from elements found only in the unseen Spiritual Realm (Hebrews 11:3), why is it so difficult, in the mind of the atheist, for that same omnipotent Creator to have taken that same matter, the constituent elements of same, and form the first man and from that man, the first woman…and oddly enough, many of the elements found in human flesh are also found in the “dust of the Earth?”

Why mock the Biblical narrative…why not seriously consider it and its ramifications as having NEVER been proven in error? Why not humble yourself, read the “Gospel of John” and ask our Creator to reveal Himself to you and enlighten your mind to the Truth of His divine purposes within the Realm of Time…why mock and blaspheme what you DO NOT KNOW? How is your blind disregard for what has been provided you in the Holy Scriptures to be considered as any form of wisdom or logic or reason; especially so, when no other viable explanation of “How was life created?” exist?

Atheism-Secular Humanism – Satan’s servants who proselytize nihilism-hopelessness, why?

Liberal Ideology, Religion - Christianity, , , , , , , , ,

The Atheist – Secular Humanist: Satan’s servants who proselytize nihilism-hopelessness, why?

The Atheist – Secular Humanist espouse – radically promulgate – seek to proselytize the masses in their demonically rooted religion of Secular Humanism/Moral Relativism while targeting and promulgating hate for Christianity which provides human kind the only Path to a life a peace, contentment, hope, sustainability, through faith in our Creator, Jesus Christ, and a daily walk in divine sanctification via the indwelling Holy Spirit.

Even though the Atheist staunchly rejects our Creator, Jesus Christ, and the divine authority of the Canon of Scripture, what is their motive for preaching their religion of hopelessness and nihilism? What is the demonic motive behind proselytizing via Darwinian Evolution that teaches life is a primordial mistake by happen-chance and there is no true purpose or eternal relevance to life; therefore, party, pervert your soul with aberrant pleasures and die in self-loathing misery…nothing truly matters? Why have anti-depressants, their use and abuse among the American population risen exponentially over the previous five-decades? Why is there an ever present aura of hopelessness and impending catastrophe among the citizenry of the World?

The only reason the Atheist exists; the only reason Secular Humanism-Darwinism exist is due the work of Satan in Time who seeks to discourage, to destroy, to deceive, to addict, to incarcerate, to disparage, to murder. Even if the Atheist truly believes that the Bible is of no relevant Truth and Jesus was just a historical figure among many, why not allow boys, girls, men and women, families, communities, to pursue what they “believe” by “faith” to be hope and happiness and joy and peace and contentment in Jesus and the Holy Spirit as per the promises of the Bible?

Why does the Atheist find it necessary to insult, disparage, to ridicule, to blaspheme, the words of Scripture, the Living Word – Jesus Christ, the precious Holy Spirit; this, even if they truly don’t believe…why blaspheme that in which so many find comfort and peace and a reason for living and pursuing excellence?

The only logical answer is, the Atheist is demonic at his/her root and their life is demonically controlled and their future is Hell in unbelief; this is why our Founder’s did NOT trust religion, the Atheist, the Agnostic…our Constitutional Republic cannot be sustained when the majority exists in moral relativism and secularism as these demonic ideologies destroy the soul, sear the conscience, darken the thoughts and motives of the citizenry and inspire aberrant behavior, lawlessness rooted in narcissism, hedonism. Atheism is truly the bane of human existence and those who adhere to its demonic philosophy should be shunned and feared and ostracized. If the atheist desires to die in Hell in abject spiritual ignorance, why not go to Hell alone as opposed to wrecking the lives of others with your wicked ideology and taking them to Hell with you?

The Absurdity and Lunacy of Atheism…

Liberal Ideology, Religion - Christianity, , , , , , , , , ,

Let’s be honest…Atheism is unadulterated S-T-U-P-I-D-T-Y!!!  Logically, how can anyone possessing sufficient cognitive acuity to feed them self, walk, talk, and discern the environment around them, the supernatural Universe and Earth that surrounds them, the complex genome that defines them, truly and honestly believe that these things manifest from a naturalistic origin? That is not only illogical but irrational and could also be defined as a mental illness or inability to discern reality. The Universe, the Earth, our complex genome, are irrefutably beacons of unfathomable design necessitating a divine and omnipotent Designer…there is no other plausible explanation.

It is NOT possible that anyone who can walk, talk, think, communicate, with efficiency and clarity truly believe that our World and our complex genome are the products of happen-chance…NO WAY!!!  If you profess yourself an atheist, you’re either a bold face liar, you’re existing in self-deception or you’re simply mentally ill and spiritually demonic at the core. You might reject Elohim, Jesus, as Creator of our World and our flesh, you might scoff at the Canon and its Creation Narrative, but to actually profess or believe that the World and our genome are the products of naturalism is insanity defined and I have absolutely ZERO respect for your arrogance and idiocy. You are offensive!

Mocking the Church, Faith, while espousing “Universal Salvation” and “Predestination”…

Religion - Christianity, , , , , , , , ,
To those who mock the Church, faith, and espouse “universal salvation” and “predestination”….

Enoch, Noah, Abraham, were all Gentiles representing only a few of an untold number saved by “faith,” alone, long before the advent of Jacob and his 12-tribes known as Israel. Nothing, concerning the path to righteousness with Elohim, has changed and nothing Israel accomplished changed the fact that Elohim honors “faith,” not works or law or self-righteousness concerning righteousness with Him. Hebrews 11

Jesus’ primary mission,

Jesus’ primary reason for entering the Realm of Time was “to destroy the works of the Devil” at Golgotha (1 John 3:8b) via a battle strategy known as “The Gospel of Grace” (New Covenant) which was ordained “before Time began” 2 Timothy 1:8-10) and that divine battle strategy was first pictured for us by Elohim in Eden (Genesis 3:21).

The essential nature of “faith,”

Mankind has always found “righteousness” (a right standing) with Elohim by “faith” and this includes those of the Adamic and Noahic generations as well as those under the “Law Covenant” and “Blood Sacrifices” as it was not the Law or the blood of animals that engendered covenant relationship with Elohim but it was the one who expressed “faith” in what Elohim had promised (Hebrews 11).

Jesus’ implications concerning our justification/righteousness before the Father via the imputation (2 Corinthians 5:21) is relevant for the Kingdom; that is, no human being born of Adam’s seed (Romans 5:12), irrespective of their saving faith, could enter the Kingdom of Elohim void atonement for sin as “nothing impure will ever enter therein” (Revelation 21:27) and it was Jesus’ faithfulness at Golgotha, His shed blood, that fulfilled the mandates of Leviticus 17:11 and Jesus thereby became “The Door” to the Kingdom for all who “believe” (John 10:9-16; John 3); hence, the need for the temporary spiritual abode of Sheol/Hades-Paradise (Luke 16) where faithful Saints of faith were interned awaiting Messiah’s acceptable atonement before accessing the Kingdom.

Role of the Church,

The Church was never meant to be a substitute for one’s personal responsibility to STUDY Elohim’s written words and show themselves approved as a worker and servant of Elohim (1 Timothy 2:15) but the Church is a place of gathering, comfort, learning, sharing, a community, that believers in Jesus are commanded to not neglect their responsibility to gather together and encourage one another as Messiah’s 2nd-Advent approaches (Hebrews 10:25).

In closing, concerning universal salvation and predestination,

Only a relatively “few” will be saved from the “second death” in Hell (Matthew 7:13-14; Revelation 20:11-15) as per our Messiah Jesus. The heresy of “Universal Salvation” and Calvin’s “Predestination” are works of Satan among the theologically arrogant and those lacking knowledge of Elohim’s eschatological imperatives and the essential nature of “free will” among both the angelic and human creations.

To the Jew/Israelite believing that genealogy is their salvation…

Uncategorized, , , , , , , , , , , ,
A warning to the Jew/Israelite who believes heritage or genealogy ensures their salvation from death in Hell apart from faith in Messiah…

The Gospel message was foreordained to be taught to Jacob’s children to whom Messiah came specifically (Matthew 15:24) but Jacob’s children rejected both Messiah and the Gospel (Matthew 23:37) and consequently thwarted their ordination as ministers of the Great Commission (Matthew 28:16-20); therefore, the Gospel, the Great Commission, were given to the Gentiles until the fullness of the Gentiles have entered the Kingdom (Romans 11:25; Acts 13:46). The Jew/Israelite finds this truism offensive but Elohim is not concerned about your feelings or your opinions.

The New Covenant, as established in Messiah’s blood at Golgotha (Matthew 26:28), was taken from the Jew/Israelite and given to the Gentile and the Gentile remains in custody of the New Covenant this very day while Israel’s children overwhelmingly exist in Judaism (a works religion)-Atheism-Apostasy-unbelief and are blindly and obstinately seeking death in Hell due their rejection of Messiah Jesus; for this reason, only a “remnant” of Israel’s children will escape the “second death” in Hell (Revelation 20:11-15) and that redeemed Jewish/Israeli remnant is primarily represented by Tribulation survivors proselytized by the 144,000 faithful Jewish witnesses as documented in Revelation 7 (Isaiah 10:22; Romans 9:27).

If water baptism is not an element of salvation, why did Jesus command it?

If water baptism is not an element of salvation, why did Jesus command it?

Jesus commands that His faithful be baptized as this is integral with the Great Commission (Matthew 28:16-20) and the Great Commission is the teaching and preaching to the World concerning the power of the Gospel to save through faith in Messiah Jesus; therefore, water baptism is an outward demonstration to a lost and perishing World of the regeneration possible by faith in Jesus as Messiah; water baptism is a picture, an outward demonstration, of the death, burial and resurrection of Messiah…a concise yet powerful public demonstration of the Gospel message; for this reason, entering baptismal waters should be one of the first acts of obedience for anyone who has received the Holy Spirit as Guarantor of New Covenant relationship with Elohim subsequent professing faith in Jesus as Messiah (Ephesians 1:13-14).
