Doctrine no 18
Doctrine Magnifies but
never changes the word
Brian Kocourek,
2 Timothy
Notice the Scriptures says, All Scripture is
profitable for Doctrine, and this evening we will not be reviewing any
particular Doctrine but more explicitly we shall focus our thoughts on exactly
what does it mean to understand Doctrine. We take our text from Brother
Branham's sermon, Christ is the Mystery of God
Revealed and read from pp 191.
191 "Well," you say, "now
wait a minute, Brother Branham, you're talking about the Old Testament." He's the same yesterday, today, and forever. It's the full revelation of God. If God ever says anything, He
can never change it. He
always magnifies it, not change it. The law was magnified, not
changed: magnified.
"Whosoever commits
adultery shall be guilty of death, but whosoever (now magnified) looks
upon a woman to lust after her..." He never changed the commandment; He magnified it.
"Remember the Sabbath day and keep it holy," one day in the week. Now
He magnified it.
The rest comes from keeping the Spirit of God. "Precept upon precept, and line upon line,
here a little and there a little; hold fast to that what's good, for with
stammering lips and other tongues will I speak to this people. And this is the rest. That's the refreshing from the Presence of
the Lord. And yet
they would not hear it," and wagged their heads, and walked away to their
denominations. Uh-huh. This
is the refreshing
(See?), magnifying the
Sabbath day, to you Sabbatarians and
so forth. Oh, my. He don't change; He magnifies it.
Hell has spread her gates to receive them.
Now, don't forget what he
is saying here because if we are to understand what it takes to understand the
doctrine we must understand what brother Branham is telling us here.
Because if you add one word or take away one word that
changes the meaning, you can only do that because you do not have a correct
understanding of the doctrine to begin with.
Now, the Scripture that brother Branham is
referring to in this paragraph we read from is Isaiah 28.
Isaiah 28: 9-13 Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand
doctrine?
These words are
very applicable to this hour because the people just do not seem to grasp the Doctrine of
Christ correctly, even among those who say they believe their is one God who had a Son. But notice, God is saying
here "who can I get to understand doctrine?" So there's a question
mark. He says, "to them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts?"
Notice another question here. He is inferring here that these people are incapable of understanding. Then what does that tell us about this hour when we have
people who have sat under a vindicated prophet and an anointed teacher and
still don't understand the doctrine.
In fact the Apostle Paul told us it was
not to be fulfilled in his age either, because he said in Hebrews 5:12 For when for the time ye ought to be
teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are
become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat. 13 For every one that uses milk is un-skilful
in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. 14 But strong
meat belongs to them that are
of full age, even those
who by reason of use have their
senses exercised to discern both
good and evil.
So then the understanding of doctrine
could only come in an age when the Elect have come to full maturity, and that
can only come from a Full and complete Word.
As the Apostle Paul told us in 1 Corinthians 13:10When
that which is perfect has come then that which is in part is done away with.
Now, in getting back to Isaiah 28 we will pick up at verse 10 For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept;
line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:
Now a precept is: a command or
principle intended especially as a general rule of action. And
notice He said, For
precept must
be upon precept, precept
upon precept...
Not giving you one precept
and then changing it to add another precept thus giving you a different or
hybrid precept. But He said,
For precept must be upon
precept, precept
upon precept...
Now, the very first precept we must be
taught and hold to is that God changes not.
Malachi 3:6 For I am the
LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.
And Hebrews 13:8 Jesus
Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.
And since God changes
not, then this Jesus Christ Paul is speaking of is God, and he is the Word. And
notice what this apostle Paul tells us in the very next verse.
9 Be not
carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it
is a good thing that the heart be established with grace;
Now, notice first The
Apostle tells us that God changes not, he
says, "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today
and forever." Then that Apostle tells us not to change the
doctrine, and not to go after all sorts of different and strange doctrines. Now
the word strange means coming from
outside of your local environment, in other words, something that is foreign to
the Word of God. Not Word of God based.
And since he tells us
God doesn't change and God is the Word, then he warns us not to go after
doctrine that is not based upon this word. Because if you do, "if you alter the Word to fit your doctrine instead of
altering your doctrine to fit the word you will be cursed".
Lets go to Galatians 6 and begin reading at verse 6 to see what this Apostle Paul has to say on
this.
Galatians 6:6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed
from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: 7 Which
is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the
gospel of Christ. 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. 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. 10 For do I now persuade men, or God? or
do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I
should not be the servant of Christ. 11 But I certify you,
brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.
12 For
I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it,
but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.
Now, let me go through
what the Apostle is saying here and break this down for a moment.
Galatians 6:6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed
from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:
So, who is Him that they
remove themselves from? God the Word. If this Word is
God, as we are told in John 1:1 then to alter the Word or the teaching of
that Word by just one jot or tittle, will alter our
vision or description of God who is that Word.
And Paul say, I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him... And how have they become removed from him? And what
does it mean to be removed from Him? It means they are no longer in His
presence. They have removed themselves from the very Presence of God because
they no longer are walking in the Light. They have taken a detour, and they
have removed themselves as cain
removed Himself from the presence of God.
Genesis 4:16 And Cain went out from the presence of the
LORD,...
And why did Cain go out from the Presence of the Lord? because he could not take the correction of the Word.
In Genesis 4:7 After rejecting cains sacrifice
God said unto him, "If thou doest well, shalt
thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door.
In other words, God said to him, "thou hast rightly offered but thou hast not rightly
divided"
And Because Cain did not offer a rightly divided Word and
he refused God's way when God told him he needed to rightly divide the Word,
that he had offered a correct word but for the wrong age, and then his heart
filled with hate towards his brother Abel who had correctly divided the Word,
and so he killed his brother.
And brother Branham taught us there is more way to
kill a man than with a bullet or knife, you can speak against that man and kill
his influence, and you might just as well have killed him. And so Cain killed
physically his brother to get him our of the way, and men today try to kill the
influence of brethren who rightly divide the word, with the same motive in
mind, to get them out of the way, so their influence will not be felt by
others.
And then Cain went out from
the presence of the LORD.
So his not rightly
dividing the Word of Truth brought him to depart from the presence of the Lord
as Paul said of the early church. I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you
into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:
Because you can not
remain in His Presence if you walk out from His Light, for He is in that light,
and it is His Light that brings us into His Presence.
John
We read also in 1 John 1:5 This then is the message which we have heard of
him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. 6 If
we say that we have fellowship with him, (and you can't have fellowship without being in His presence) and walk in darkness, (and darkness is the
absence of light, and since he is light, it is the absence of Him, and He is
the Word,) then we lie, and do not the truth: 7 But
if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, (and he is the Word) we have fellowship
one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth
us from all sin.
So those who walk in
darkness are not walking in His presence, for they have rejected His Light
which is His
Word. They have turned aside to walk down another path where there is not
light. In other words, they have deviated from the Word.
And Paul said in, Galatians 6:6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed
from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:
Now, this word another does not mean a completely
different Gospel, it means one that has been altered. The word "another" was translated
from the Greek word "heteros",
which means "of a different nature".
In fact the Apostle says in the next verse, 7 Which is not another;
(and this Greek word is Allos, which means
"different altogether." So the Apostle is saying, I marvel that ye are so soon removed and separated from him that called you into the grace of Christ
unto a gospel of a different nature: 7 Which is not a totally
different Gospel altogether;
but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert
the gospel of Christ.
So what he is saying is that they have removed
themselves from the very presence of God by accepting a perverted Gospel, on of
a different nature than the one he had preached.
The NIV says it this way, 6 I am
astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you to live in the grace of Christ
and are turning to a different gospel. so
they are not saying it like Paul said it, and thus they are deserting the
Gospel.
And how did they do it? By perverting the Gospel the
Apostle taught them.
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. 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.
Now, this time the apostle uses a word "para" that
was translated as "other" Gospel, and
the word "para" means
"close but not exactly, or in the vicinity or proximity of, but away
from. so
we see he is saying, if you deviate away from, but you still remain in the
vicinity of saying the same thing, you have a perverted Gospel, a twisted
Gospel, one of a different nature than what I taught.
Then the apostle tells us 7 Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to
pervert the gospel of
Christ. 8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should
preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let them be under
God’s curse! 9 As we have
already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other
than what you accepted, let them be under
God’s curse!"
Let me read this from the Version called The Message 6-9 I can’t believe your fickleness—how
easily you have turned traitor to him who called you by the grace of Christ by
embracing a variant
message! It is not
a minor variation, you know; it is completely other, an alien message,
a no-message, a lie about God. Those who are provoking this agitation among
you are turning the Message of Christ on its head. Let me be blunt: If one
of us, even if an angel from heaven! were to preach
something other than what we preached originally, let him be cursed. I said it
once; I’ll say it again: If anyone, regardless of reputation or credentials,
preaches something other than what you received originally, let him be cursed.
And then the Apostle says, "10-12 Do
you think I speak this strongly in order to manipulate crowds? Or curry favor
with God? Or get popular applause? If my goal was popularity, I wouldn’t bother
being Christ’s slave. Know this—I am most emphatic here, friends—this great
Message I delivered to you is not mere human optimism. I didn’t receive it
through the traditions, and I wasn’t taught it in some school. I got it
straight from God, received the Message directly from Jesus Christ."
So what we are seeing
here is men who will take
"thus saith the Lord" and make it into thus saith some
preacher.
Now, remember, we read
to begin this sermon, that brother Branham said, If God ever says anything, He can never
change it. He always magnifies it, not
change it. The law was magnified, not changed: magnified.
And that means that "line
shall be upon line, line upon line". In other words, if I write
the Words out on a line, and I echo
them, I must write the same words on top of the other words that
are already written. Line up on line. Precept up on precept.
I can not
say in one place Ephesians
4:5 One Lord, one
faith, one baptism, And then preach that there are two or three Lords. That
is not line up on line, nor is it precept up on precept. It is a perversion of
the Gospel Paul had preached.
I
can not say Mark 12:29 And Jesus answered him and said, The first of all the
commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:
And then tell you that I am teaching the Doctrine of Christ and tell
you there are two Lords or Three Lords as the Trinitarians teach. That would
not be line on top of line, and precept on top of precept.
The
precept or Bible Doctrine is, "There is One
Lord". And if you teach there are "Two Lords" you
are perverting the precepts and Doctrine of Christ. Two can not be placed upon
one and come out the same. Three can not be placed upon one and come out the
same. They are perversions of one.
That
is why brother Vayle in Godhead number 7, called the teaching of "Two Lords a fallacy". He said, "You know, people don't understand about two lords.
Well I'm going to tell you about two lords. Two Lords is actually a fallacy."
And then he said, "That's why It says in Ephesians, "one
lord." But people, they can't think for
themselves. and then br. Vayle quotes the
Apostle as saying, "You know, Paul said,
"Stupidity only requires one answer-stay stupid." That's Lee
Vayle. Paul said "ignorant."
So when brother Vayle corrected an error concerning
those who were teaching a "Two Lords" doctrine, he said
"people are just going to stay ignorant
because they just can't think for themselves."
And that about sums it up. And he called it a fallacy, and the word fallacy means: a wrong belief: a false or mistaken idea: the
quality of being false or wrong. So if it's wrong and they still
preach it after being told it is wrong, what can I say? They are no longer
walking in the light, or presence of God.
In other words, "ichabad' is written over them, and
brother Branham told us "ichabad" means
"the presence of the Lord has departed".
So we are talking about
the principles of the doctrine of Christ, and notice that the sole purpose
for these principles are for the general rule of action or conduct.
But what if our doctrine brings forth no action? And how can it if it is not
based upon previously taught precepts. Because precept must be upon precept and
line upon line in order for it all to line up correctly.
And that is why wrong
doctrine can bring forth no action. Therefore if no action results from the
doctrine then are either one of two things existing.
1) Your doctrine has no
life
2) You do not understand
the doctrine itself, because the precepts of the doctrine or principles of the
doctrine are supposed to produce an action, for that is their sole purpose.
Then we are told in verse 11 For with stammering lips and another tongue will He speak to this people. Now, what is another
tongue except it is another language. So we have a promise here that at the
time of adulthood, when the children of God are grown up and ready to receive
the Doctrine, there will come one speaking another language than what
the people of God knew at that time. A language that is not common to man, but
a language that will bring with it the rest that comes from the presence of the
Lord. Because it will line up precept upon precept and it will line up line
upon line. And this will bring the rest, for as brother Branham knocked seven
times on the pulpit and said there is relaxation under the seventh seal, so
there must come a final rest for the believer in Christ and His Word, and that
rest comes from the fact that the He, God will come down with a Shout, A Message,
and speak to the people in a language that the scholars do not understand, nor
the theologians, but the Elect Seed of God shall understand and they shall find
rest in that Voice that Speaks from heaven in the form of a shout.
12 To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear.
So even though this one who will come from
the very Presence of the Lord will come with words or basically a Message, and
that in a language they are not accustomed to hear, those Words are supposed to
bring rest, because He that brings them is our rest, and yet the people will
not hear them. They will not understand what is said. Because hear means to
understand.
Hear recognize act on word 60-0221 P:18 First, faith cometh by hearing, hearing
of the Word of God. Then the believer hears It,
recognizes It, and acts on It. The carnal man will hear It, the
sound of It, but never... "Hear"
means to "understand" It. Look at,
is looking at something; but to see it, is to "understand" it.
"Except a man be
borned again, he cannot see or understand the
If people will not hear nor understand the
words that bring rest, then they are not at rest and can not be, and they will
always be looking for something else.
NIV Isaiah 28:11 but they would not listen, so then,
the Word of the Lord to them will become: Do and do, do and do, rule
on rule, rule on rule; a little here, a little there - so that they
will go and fall backward, be injured and snared and captured.
In other words God comes down
with a Shout, a Message, and the people will not stop to listen, and not only
that, but they will not take what the Messenger tells us the Scripture means.
He teaches us the precept, and shows us the scripture that coincides with that
precept, and that is His Message. But those who will not listen, the Message to them
becomes just a bunch of conduct, order, and doctrine. And the very purpose of
the Shout is to bring rest and relaxation under the Seventh Seal. And rest
comes from total trust, and thus because they do not trust in a vindicated Word
that says the same thing as the precepts of the Bible, and because they can not
take a line from the Message and place it on top of a line from the Bible, that
the two seem to be at odds in their understanding, when they are exactly the
same. It is just the people have not been trained to know their Bibles, and so
when they hear the Message they think it is a new Message, when God came to
restore that Word which the palmer worm and locust denominational spirits ate
away through the ages.
God did not come to bring a new message, He came to restore the Message Paul brought.
Even Paul said in 2 Thessalonians
Now, this is the same Apostle who said in Galatians 1:6 "If any man preach
any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed."
"If any man does not line up precept
with precept, and line with line, let him be accursed".
Therefore it is imperative that the
very first principle in understanding the doctrine of Christ is that we must line up precept with precept, and line with line if we are to understand the doctrine correctly. And those who do
not do so, will not understand the doctrine at all and they will therefore
produce a very mixed up understanding, and this will cause them to go and fall
back into what they came out of, just like Israel because they did not
understand the message of their day they wanted to go back to Egypt where they
came out of.
"So then the Word of the Lord to them will become, "do
and do, do and do, rule upon rule, rule upon rule a little here, a little
here," That they may go and stumble backward, be broken, snare, and
taken captive.
Did you ever stop to think what takes them
captive here? It's because they did not receive the life of the doctrine,
so the doctrine becomes to
them just more rules on top of rules,
and more church order on top of church order, until the people completely fall away from the Doctrine
that was sent to bring them rest, assurance and trust.
Instead of being set free by the
Life in the Doctrine, they become ensnared and are taken captive by the
rules of men. So the same Word, the same Message that was sent to free a
people, to bring them rest is the same Message that will ensnare them and make
them captives.
That is what we read in 1 Timothy 4. Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, (that means the Spirit speaks for the expressed purpose) that in the
latter times some shall
depart from The faith, giving heed to seducing spirits,
and doctrines
of devils;
Now, this is not
just departing from faith in general, but from THE Faith, and he said there is only One Faith, and that is the faith of that One Lord. In other words, the revelation of Jesus Christ. So in departing from The Faith they
must also depart from The One Lord.
From his sermon, Earnestly contending for the faith 55-0123E P:2 The faith, not "a" faith, but "The" faith, .. .Now, many
people say, "Well, I would go down to that meeting, but it's against my
faith." There's only one faith: one faith,
one hope, one Lord, one baptism. You believe it? One faith, and that
faith is in the Lord Jesus Christ.
As brother Branham said from Anointed
Ones at end time
65-0725M P:186 The Faith, not a
faith, the Faith.
One faith, One Lord, One...
You can't have one
faith without believing in One Lord."
So we are warned
that at the end time some shall depart from The Faith. Now, listen they had to be in The Faith, or as brother Branham put it, they had
to have "The
Revelation of Jesus Christ, in order to fall away from it. So the question is, what will
take them away from the
Faith of Christ, The Revelation of Jesus Christ, The Doctrine of Christ. What will take them away from the
Doctrine?
We are told in
verse 2. they will Speak lies in hypocrisy; having
their conscience seared with a hot iron;
Now, what does
that mean? It means they
know better but they say something other than what the precept said anyway. They will say it one way, but when they
are pressured by others they will say it a different way than what they said it
the first time. So they are liars but they actually know better. And a hypocrite is a stage actor, one who plays with different
masks on.
So when he talks
to you he's your friend, and when he talks to your enemy he's not your friend,
and with these kind you never know where they stand. And the political world is
full of them, and so are the churches.
And so Paul tells
us what it will be that they will turn to when they turn away from the
Doctrine. He says, 3. Forbidding to marry, (splitting up people who were joined by God where the vow
says, What God put together
let no man put asunder.)
Threatening spouses that if they do not believe it my way they do not believe
it at all, and therefore we can not stay together which is totally against what
the Apostle Paul said, when he said, "if the unbelieving spouse wishes to remain
with the believing spouse they can be sanctified by remaining together." But they do not care what Paul said, because they can
not place precept upon precept, and so they hear something they think is new
and they depart from the original precept, which is antichrist to do so.
Notice Paul says
this will take place at the end time. They will fall away from The Faith, The
Revelation, The Doctrine of Christ, and when they do they will turn to
things like abstaining from eating meats.
And notice in the
reading of 1 Timothy 4 he tells us they will preach these false
doctrines because they will depart from THE FAITH. So they have to be in The FAITH
to depart from it.
In Isaiah
29: 8-9 we read 8 It shall even be as when an hungry man dreams, and, behold, he eats in his
dream; but when he awaken, his soul is empty: or as when a thirsty man dreams,
and in his dream he drinks; but when he awakens behold he is faint, and his soul hath appetite:
Now, let's continue to read in Isaiah 29:9 Stay yourselves, and wonder; cry ye out, and cry:
they are drunken, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink. 10 For the LORD hath poured out
upon you the spirit of deep sleep, and hath
closed your eyes: the prophets and
your rulers, the seers hath he covered. 11 And the vision of all is
become unto you as the words
of a book that is sealed, which men deliver
to one that is learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I
cannot; for it is sealed: 12 And
the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray
thee: and he saith,
I am not learned.
13 Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch
as this people draw near me with
their mouth, and with their lips do honor me, but have removed their
heart far from me, and their
fear toward me is taught by the precept of men:
NIV verse 13 ..."Their worship of Me is made up only of rules taught by
men."
New American Standard Their reverence for me consists of tradition learned by
rote,"
Amplified " Their fear and reverence for Me are a
commandment of men that is learned by repetition (without any thought of the
meaning);"
And so no matter how well they were taught
it will all become as though they had never been instructed in the first place.
14 Therefore,
behold, I will proceed to do a marvelous work
among this people, even a marvelous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men (teachers) shall be hid. 15 Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their
counsel from the Lord, and their works are
in the dark, and they say, Who seeth us? and who knoweth us?16 Surely your
turning of things upside down shall be esteemed as the potter's clay:
for shall the work say of him that made it, He made me not? or shall the thing framed say of him that
framed it, He had no understanding? 17 Is it
not yet a very little while, and
Now we hear
Jesus speak of knowing a man by his fruits, in the book of Matthew 7:15-20. Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but
inwardly they are ravening wolves. 16 Ye
shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of
thistles? 17 Even so every good tree
bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. 18 A
good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth
good fruit. 19 Every tree that bringeth not
forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.20 Wherefore
by their fruits ye shall know them.
Now, what does He mean by this? You will know Him by his fruits?
William Branham taught us what the fruit
is in The Anointed ones at
the end time. 65-0725M
P:42 He said, "What is the fruit? The Word for, the fruit for the season; that's what
it is, their teaching. The teaching of what?
The teaching of the season, what time it is, man's
doctrine, denominational doctrine, or God's Word for the
season."
Closer examination of this scripture,
allows us to see that you will be able to tell who and what a man is by his fruit, his teaching, what he teaches. Does he
have precept lined up with precept and line lined up with line? Is he able to
take the Message back to the Bible and line up what the Scripture says with
what the End-time Messenger-Prophet of God tells us? Can he show us from the
Scripture what the message says? Is he lining up the principles and precepts,
and every line of the Scripture with every line of the Message?
Or is his teaching scrambled and all
over the place. Therefore it is the fruit, what they teach that identifies and
declares the man. Now remember, he begins by warning us about false prophets.
And he calls them wolves in sheep’s clothing, but then talks about their fruit.
He's using metaphors to get a point across. We must ask
ourselves what is a teaching but the very thoughts of this person made known
through words.
Therefore if we break down this thought
of what a man’s fruit is, we find that it is his thoughts, what he is
thinking. And we find a righteous man will have righteous thoughts, which are rightly wise thoughts or
correct thoughts for the season he lives in. Or better said, A righteous man will have thoughts that are
a correct match for the season.
That is why we must understand and apply
line of Scripture upon Line of Scripture, and line of message upon line of
Message.
The man that places line of Scripture upon line of scripture
will not take
Deuteronomy 6:4 Hear, O
And
Ephesians 4: 5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
and Mark
and Zechariah 14:9 And the LORD shall be king over all the earth:
in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one.
And
then God's vindicated prophet saying in his sermon, Anointed
ones at end time 65-0725M P:186 Reprobate
mind concerning the faith, not a faith, the Faith. One faith, one
Lord, one...?... You can't have one faith without believing in one Lord.
And you can't have scripture and Message
all line up and then say there are two lords, and try to make Scripture say
there are two lords.
Then
if you read Scripture like Luke 20:42 And David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The
LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, you can't read line upon line, if you make that two
Lords.
He
tells us that David said it, he is quoting that David said it, so let's go back
and read what David said in order to see line upon
line and precept upon precept.
Psalm 110:1 Jehovah The Self Existent One said unto my master
and Owner, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.
And
if that doesn't make two Lord, then why try to make two lords out of Acts 2:36 Therefore let
all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus,
whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.
Therefore,
if we are to teach the doctrine and line Precept upon precept and line upon
line, we must ask, how did God make Jesus Both Lord, and Christ? Because if
there can not be two lords as saith the prophets, then what did God do to make
Jesus Lord, and if God made Jesus Lord then where did the only Lord go who is
God?
And
the answer is quite simple, and it lines up on line, and it is precept up on
precept.
Paul
tells us in 2 Corinthians 5:19 To wit,
that God (The Only Lord) was in
Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto
them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
So
when did God make Jesus the Christ, the Anointed one? when
God who is the anointer entered into His son at the river
Therefore,
God did not trash His precepts to make Jesus Lord, he
entered into the vessel of His son making the vessel, now the dwelling place of
the Only Lord.
In the same was that we know Isaiah 43:11 says, I, even I, am the
LORD; and beside me there is no saviour.
And we read in Hosea
13:4 Yet I am the LORD thy God from the
We
don't make Jesus another Saviour, and say there are two Saviors. so if we know
this and we know that the Oneness are
wrong in their charts, then why do we do the same with One Lord, making it two
lords.
Abraham's grace covenant 61-0317 P:59 Somebody said the other day, a converted
Jew, said that them three men was Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Nonsense. He didn't say, "My Lords." as
a heathen, he said, "My Lord."
Lot was the one called the two Angels, "Lords." The backslider down there, shows
exactly where that same class lives today, make
God four or five different people. God's one God. Right. "My Lord,"
said Abraham.
Now,
the same goes for John 14:12. we can not take the promise to the believer in John
I
have proven that the he in John 14:12 is
translated from the Greek word for whoever, and even the King James version
which translates it wrong in John 14:12
translates the same Greek word as "whoever"
in several other verse. I also proved that there are 19 bible promises, or
precepts that identify the believer in "He
that believeth" as "anyone
who believes", seeing there are 19 promises made to the
believers, of which eternal life is just one of the promises.
1. Mark
2. John
3. John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his
only begotten Son, that “whosoever
believeth” (ὁ
πιστεύων) in him should not perish,
but have everlasting
life.
4. John
5. John
6. John
7. John
8. John
9. John
10. John
11. John
12. John
13. Acts
14. Romans
15. Romans
16. 1 Peter 2:6 Wherefore also it is contained in the
scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and “he that believeth” (ὁ πιστεύων) on him shall not be confounded.
17. 1 John 5:1 “Whosoever
believeth” (ὁ πιστεύων) that Jesus is the
Christ is born of
God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also
that is begotten of him.
18. 1 John 5:5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but “he that believeth” (ὁ
πιστεύων) that Jesus is the
Son of God?
19. 1 John
Notice in all these 19 verses of Scripture we see
each verse has one or more promises for the believer. To reduce the translation
from “whosoever” to “he” making this singular and dealing with only
“one” person throws aside all these promises to all who believe and
makes them exclusive to all but only one.
Therefore, our doctrine must line up with the precepts
of the Bible, and "precept must be line up with
precept, precept upon precept, line must be lined up with line, Line of the
Bible with line of the bible, a lttle here and a
little there, and this is the rest, but they would not listen, "So then
the Word of the Lord to them
will become, "do and do, do and do, rule upon rule, rule upon rule a
little here, a little here," That they may go and stumble backwards, be
broken, snared, and taken captive.
Let
us pray...
