Replacement Theology

Is the New Testament Church as founded on the day of Pentecost the only salvation for Jews and Gentiles?
As it relates to salvation: did the Church replace the Temple?
As it relates to worship of God: is the worship in the New Testament Church the only valid place where Jews and Gentiles can worship in Spirit and in Truth?
As it relates to the Old Testament priesthood: did the New Testament priesthood replace it?
As it relates to blood sacrifices: did the sacrifice of Jesus replace all animal sacrifices forever?
As it relates to the high priesthood of the law: did the high priesthood of Jesus replace that of the law?
As it relates to the Old Covenant: did the New Covenant replace it?
As it relates to Jew and Gentile Paul said there is now no difference (Rom 10:12). Must Jew and Gentile receive and believe upon Jesus Christ for salvation?
As it relates to the promises of Abraham: did many Jews forfeit these promises by rejecting Jesus, and did many Gentiles become joint heirs by receiving Christ as their Savior?

While the pre-tribbers continue to claim those who believe in replacement theology hate Jews: this is nothing but lies spread by men such as Hal Lindsey. The fact is, there is no salvation for any Jew apart from Calvary Judaism. Peter settled this in Acts 2:38-40. If any Jew wants God and wants the mercy of God, they must come to Jesus. If they do not they will die in their sins. That is something Hal Lindsey will not change by accusing those who believe this of hating Jews. In fact, we love the Jews and want them to be saved and will tell them the truth. It is men like Hal Lindsey who tell Jews they can reject Jesus, practice the law, and they will be saved by the promises of Abraham. This is a lie and Mr. Lindsey should be ashamed of himself.
___________________

The issue of replacement theology for me began back around 1972 when I first learned the dispensational pre-tribulation rapture was a hoax. Not only was the time of the rapture false, the whole purpose for a quick secret snatch was false. I can remember so well suckered into the falsehood that God the Son had to get his Bride off the scene so God the Father could turn back to his wife Israel. Yes, I was suckered. Men who knew the ropes of the pre-trib rapture doctrine were very equipped with their Scofield Bibles to impregnate minds with falsehoods. I was one of those whose mind has been tampered with. The dispensational prophecy teachers were very good at mind manipulation. They were so good at it, they could teach their nonsense and make you feel like you got a revelation from God all on your own. I was convinced that my belief in the pre-tribulation rapture was a revelation I got from God. This personalized the false doctrine in such a way I had to deny God ever gave that mess to me. And to deny God gave it to me was the same almost as me denying there was a God. The pre-trib doctrine had a grip on my mind where each time I saw something false, I had to grapple with other aspects of the rapture. And not able to reconcile all the contradictions I would relapse back into dispensational pre-trib rapture thinking.

But then all on my own I discovered Ephesias 2:14. In all my pre-trib brainwashing I had never been told that Calvary demolished the middle wall between Jews and Gentiles. In fact I had been told there would always be a separation between Jews and Gentiles. Jews would always be the chosen people of God and Gentiles were not and never could be the chosen people of God. At best, Gentiles had to accept their status as being separate from the Jews. Gentiles had to always praise, worship, look up to Jews while they considered themselves the off-scouring of the nations who would be privileged to become the bride of the Son of God if they accepted Jesus as their personal Savior.

Somewhere in all this pre-trib mess I had to deal with the falsehood of two persons of the trinity who each would have their wife/bride. I could not rationalize or accept the trinity like this. And for God the Father to have his wife Israel and God the Son to have his wife the Gentile church, was just over the top. When I asked about God the Holy Spirit and his wife, I remember someone telling me the Holy Spirit was a monk and would never have a wife. Of course this was funny and I have repeated it many times over the years.

It was at this time I learned about dual-covenant theology. That while God the Son was working out his salvation of the Gentiles by the New Covenant, God the Father was still working out the salvation of the Jews according to the Old Covenant and Daniel's 70th week. So, in the trinitarians scheme, there were two covenants in operation at the same time. At some point in all this I discovered that dual covenant theology was the antithesis of replacement theology. At first I did not label New Covenant Judaism as replacement theology. I did not use the term replacement until after I was accused of hating Jews and trying to take from them their divine right as the exclusive chosen people of God by claiming Gentiles were spiritual Jews. By claiming Gentiles could be Jews by conversion according to Romans 2:29, was something dispensational pre-tribbers and law-keeping Messianic Jews hated. So, I suffered a lot of hate and continue to get hate emails over this issue.

Indeed there are several different doctrines on replacement theology. Some of them have most of the truth within them, and some are distorted to the point of antisemitism. Many who hate Jews will use replacement theology as a cover for what they believe is a legitimate reason to teach Jews are totally rejected and can never be saved. These false uses of replacement theology are the ones often used by dispensational pre-tribbers and law-keeping Jews to scream and yell and make out-landish accusations against all of us who believe in the New Testament doctrine of replacement theology.

Let me be clear here: In the New Covenant there is no special race class of Jew or Gentile when it comes to salvation availability. No Jew and no Gentile can claim they alone are the ones who can be saved. Christian salvation began among the Jews on the day of Pentecost and Gentiles were added later on in Acts 8 and 10. Salvation by Jesus Christ is open to all nations, tribes, kindreds, and tongues. No one is placed in a class position above another. We all stand equal at the foot of the Cross. We do not hold race to have any merit, our hope and confidence is in grace and not race. So, in the New Covenant, being a Jew or a Gentile is not the deciding factor of who God loves.  The way I see it in Ephesians 2:14-16 there is a new man, a new creation, where there is no Jewish ethnicity or a Gentile ethnicity. It is this one new man that both Jew and Gentile must come into creation. This is the new Jew. The inward spiritual Jew. The spiritual Jew both Jews and Gentiles must become. The new Jewish man replaces the old Jew and the new man replaces the old Gentile. In the eyes of God there is then no Jew or Gentile class wars where Jews can continue to claim being the exclusive people of God and Gentiles are allowed in the back door if they will become Noahides and law-keepers.

Here there is a war: law-keepers holding on to that on the Old Covenant side of the wall, demanding Gentiles to keep the law, males be circumcised, wearing all the law ornaments, fringes, head-coverings: dietary rules and celebration of new moons, the sabbath, feast days, and other Jewish customs. Then on the other side of the Old Testament law wall are the Gentiles who believe in Jesus Christ according to Acts 2:38. So many keep the Law walls up and do not tear it down. The cut a hole in the wall to usher Gentiles back past Calvary into Old Testament religion.

I could not grasp this when I first visited a law-keeping Sabbath Apostolic church in 1970. All I heard for almost two straight hours that Saturday afternoon was "obey God and keep his Commandments." In over two hours I never heard anything about faith in Jesus Christ, faith in the finished work of Calvary, or salvation by grace. I was at that time in my life trying to find the balance of my faith. I could not then or now see that by law-keeping my faith was perfected or my faith was made better. I could not see how law-keeping added anything to Calvary. I reasoned that if my salvation was based on law-keeping and not Calvary, Jesus was was dead in vain and not needed at all. This was Paul's same conclusion in the first chapter of Galatians.

As I saw more and more lies and falsehoods in the dispensational pre-trib rapture doctrine, I began to hold a new Bible in my hands. When the Scofield and Larkin glasses came off, I was able to see the Word of God in its simplicity. I was so shocked at the enormity of the falsehood within the rapture doctrine hoax. I can remember how for days and weeks I would read my Bible every night and verses leaped out at me to show me how Jews and Gentiles were one in Christ and not two. I could see a new picture developing of the Church. It was not a Gentile bride as I had been lied to. The kingdom had not been postponed and delayed as I had been lied to. The whole lie that God the Father reserved the 70th week of Daniel off the Cross so he could use law-keeping and a rebuilt temple to get Jews and Israel back, was now exposed. The 70th week was not future it had been fulfilled. I new thing happened.

I saw the Church as Kingdom Judaism. It was a remnant Judaism. It was New Testament Judaism. The only valid existing Judaism right now. Sinai Judaism is no more. Law-keeping remnant Judaism is no more. I saw the new Israel of God under the Lordship of Jesus and he replaced the Old Testament system of law keeping with a New Covenant.

No, the Jews were not replaced as to a people, their religious system had been replaced. Their nation had been replaced. The Temple had been replaced. The Sacrifice system had been replaced. The High priesthood had been replaced. This means all Jews must be born again and come into the Kingdom of God or they would have no connection to God at all (John 3:3-5). If they rejected to come into the Kingdom they would all perish. And if they chose to remain in unbelief they would remain cut out of the olive tree as dead branches. I then saw how Gentiles replaced cut off Jews and were added in where they were cut off.

Jews today who refuse to accept the New Covenant alone for their salvation and hope will die lost. There is no salvation for them except Acts 2:38. They do not have a special deal worked out where they can remain Christ haters and still be saved. They cannot remain in antichrist doctrines of denying the Father and the Son. They cannot continue to claim Jesus Christ has not come in the flesh and be saved.

They must come into the New Testament Church.

Replacement theology is a Biblical fact.

Later Rain Falsehoods Continue

Latter Rain Prophets & Their Shams To Deceive
During the years after the out-pouring of the Holy Ghost in the early 1900s, a group of ministers and followers began to hail themselves as the "Latter Rain" new order. Many were indeed baptized with the real Holy Ghost and many did have accompanying signs and wonders. They took the new wine in old bottles and for several years they prospered. But the wine skins were to burst and then worms took over the empty wine skins. The latter rain prophets spread throughout the United States and in some places around the world. They ordained to preach everything that shouted and danced at their meetings: women, young girls, small boys, teenage boys, and a host of men who had no more of a calling of God than a chattering baboon. But, these people were not genuine. Most were trinitarians who saw no evil or sin in unscriptural excesses and fleshly manifestations (unholy clothing). These infiltrated many new Oneness Churches in the disguise of the operation of the spiritual gifts. At that time, the new Oneness had just come out of trinitarianism and their standards and doctrines had not been fully established or tested. So there was a lot of loose fellowship between trinitarians and the oneness. For the most part, those who founded the latter rain movement were clean men who had good characters as far as that goes, but their doctrines were not so clean and this brought a need among those with the Oneness doctrine to take a stand against them.

The latter rain group did not believe in religious organizations because it was those in organizations who opposed them. In fact it was these false doctrines that caused the need for men to unite in an organizational structure for a covering and protection of their churches. The organizations had such large numbers of ministers that within one month from publications sent out, the latter rain movement was dealt a decisive blow of defeat. This happened in the February 1950 edition of the Pentecostal Herald. While this article mentioned a few important matters it did not deal with all of the issues at hand.

Latter Rain People And No Standard Of Holiness
The latter rain group were not independent because they were following any New Testament pattern. They were independent because their doctrines and teachings were not in conformity to the accepted Apostle's Doctrine. Many of these latter rain preached against tithing. They did so because they believed this one element would destroy those churches where the pastor depended on tithing for the existence of the church. The plan was to get people to stop giving tithes would destroy these churches. To help finalize the destruction they invented spiritual communion to cause people to leave their Pastor and church over the Lord's Supper. They were so bold the latter rain prophets did not accept Acts 2:38 as the only plan of salvation. They taught John 3:16, Romans 10:9, Eph 2:8  as the plan of salvation. They called themselves "One-Steppers" whereas they mocked the Acts 2:38 ministers and churches as "Three-Steppers." In many cases, the ministers were wishy washy and would baptize however a person wanted. If they wanted baptized in Jesus Christ name they would do it although they had never been so baptized themselves. They were all baptized in the trinity of Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Only in the case of those Oneness who chose to join them, were there any ministers among the latter rain order who were baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. But these flipped flopped and would baptize a person according to Acts 2:38 or Matthew 28:19 or reword the formula to make them into one baptismal formula like: "on the confession of your faith I baptise you in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Ghost in Jesus name." To appease their trinitarian friends they made up the doctrine that Father, Son, and Holy Ghost was really Lord Jesus Christ. So when saying Lord Jesus Christ they were baptizing in the name of the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost: "on the profession of your faith I baptise you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost which is Lord Jesus Christ." This received wide-spread acceptance among many Oneness. While they did not join the latter rain movement they practice Lord Jesus Christ Matthew 28:19 baptisms and not Acts 2:38 baptisms. At no time did the latter rain movement accept that remission of sins was in the name of Jesus Christ at the time of water baptism. They rejected any and all salvation faith in water baptism claiming it was a work and not an act of faith. Therefore, to the latter rain water baptism was not essential to salvation. Many Oneness have since those early years accepted this false doctrine. It is no strange thing these days to see many Oneness churches whose baptistery has not been used in months or years. In one case, the pastor filled it with dirt and planted flowers in it.

The latter rain movement opposed a formula for water baptism. They chose no baptism over baptism in the name of Jesus Christ. How could a Spirit filled people fall away into such apostasy? How could men who loved God also join them? Whole churches went into this latter rain order and eventually poisoned the Oneness doctrine at its very core. Organizations could not resist adopting many latter rain false doctrines. The latter rain group rejected long sleeves for men and women. Men and women could wear short sleeves and the women even sleeveless blouses and tops. They saw no need to keep the neck lines high and in many cases the cleavage of a woman or girl was clearly visible. Makeup and jewelry at first was limited but between the 1930s and the 1950s it was common for women to use makeup power on their faces, pluck their eyebrows, trim their hair and bangs, wear pants, and put on earrings. Of course along this latter rain path they put on wrist watches and other bracelets. At first they allowed wedding bands and then all manner of finger rings. Members in the stronger holiness churches saw all this loose living and the speaking in tongues, and began to rationalize that if God allowed all this and they still had the Holy Ghost, then it must all be ok. So they took on this unholy character and began to parade it into the churches. It was at this time, the doctrine of personal convictions was born among the latter rain to help free people from strong holiness standards and the flood-gate of worldliness was now opened. Who would be able to stand. Who would stand? No Oneness organization has been able to withstand this onslaught. And none have retained their first holiness. Like Ephesus they need to repent and turn back to their first love. But I am an outsider in this matter and as one UPC person said: "you are not one of us, so keep your mouth shut." How arrogant? How disrespectful to a man of God? But this is the fruit of the wild vine of Sodom speaking.

Latter Rain Children Deceived
Within this rouge movement many false doctrines were born. Among them the Adam doctrine and the Serpent seed doctrine. Then there was free love. Being Brothers and Sisters could share each other uncondemned, love being a fruit of the Spirit. Child preachers arose who did not have the Holy Ghost. They were sent by latter rain prophets who lied to them. Thousands thronged to hear them and all of it was fake. It was not long that amillenialism sneaked in and many believed Jesus returned in 70AD and we are now waiting on the end of the world. They spiritualized the millennial to cover from 70AD until the end of the world. While they taught the secret rapture doctrine, and claimed to be pre-trib believers they were really past-trib or no-trib and believed Jesus could come any second and the end of the world would usher in.  It is hard these days to get a Pastor to declare what he believes on prophecy. But we can tell by his doctrine and what he has made his church, if he is teaching or practicing any of the latter rain heresies.

One of the greatest errors of the latter rain movement was that of laying on of hands. A man who was an evangelist could lay hands on a man and ordain him to be an apostle. An evangelist could lay hands on people and give them the gifts of the Spirit. These renegade preachers could speak in tongues at the drop of a hat, turn and tell a dirty joke, and then a couple hours later ordain a kid to be a prophet. The laying on of hands by these so called evangelist, apostles, and prophets (even prophetesses): is all false. From this the charismatic movement was born. It is nearly impossible to root and ground men and women who are snared into this apostasy and great falling away. They are contentious, rebellious, and reject submission to a pastor. They call themselves, ordain themselves, send themselves, and make up their own ministry. They are all of them out of order.

The true Oneness Ministers do not practice the promiscuous laying on of hands. We let God divide to whom he will the gifts. And we will consider the life of the gift user when they are so used. If their life does not line up we do not receive them and we do not allow them to engage their out of order fake gifts among the congregation. We will guard our platforms from wolves in sheep clothes. We will not allow greasy grace preachers who speak falsehoods and use their fake gifts to deceive the people. We will not allow such renegade preachers and preacheretts to deceive our people with their latter rain practices.

It is now time for us to recognize that not all speaking in tongues is the real Holy Ghost. And it is also now time to take a stand on our Apostolic doctrine. We cannot allow the children of the latter rain movement to turn us into Laodicaea which is exactly what is happening. We must stand for holiness no matter what the latter rain order says about us.

One of the things I have noticed over the years is that latter rain people cannot be pastored. They rebel against Pastoral authority. They claim they have their own ministry and go about to fulfill a fake vision that never materializes. They usually fall away into gross sin and evil and never fit into any Church and become a blessing to God or a move of God. They usually will go astray into the yahweh cults or some other fringe cult that while they speak in tongues, they are full of the devil. By their fruits ye shall know them. Today they teach against women with long hair calling it a magic hair doctrine. They teach all manner of personal convictions where there is nothing Apostolic remaining except the name. Yes, like Sardis, they have a name but they are dead. It is time for the true people of God to say enough is enough and come out from among them. It is time to quit giving tithes to these preachers and churches. It is time to vote with your feet. It is time to stand up and help establish prayer groups, home churches, and even new Churches. The latter rain deceptions will not take captive everyone.

On a final note I must speak about these monk days that so many continue to follow and practice which shows they are not far from mama Rome.  I speak about monk day #1 St. Nicholas Christmas. This was started by a monk. He went forth and gave gifts only to Catholic children. There is no proof he gave gifts to non-catholics. I am sure they will rewrite his history now. Then there is monk day #2 St. Valentines Day.  Then monk day #3 and St. Patrick's Day. And then monk day #4 and Easter day. It was at Nicaea that 318 monks adopted Easter as the replacement of the Jewish Passover observance that Jesus gave as the Communion. The latter rain movement in all their speaking in tongues, all their fake gifts and fake offices as apostles and prophets, continued in all the monk days of their mother church. They never did leave the trinitarian doctrine completely. So they were always monk influenced.

I am writing about this today because so many are following one, two, three, or many of the latter rain heretical doctrines. In this great apostasy they teach no one can live above sin. I will tell you here and now that is a false doctrine. You do not have to sin. You can live above sin. And we do not have to compromise with sin in the life of the pastor, his wife, his children, the church members, the organization, or from any other people. The reason many teach the latter rain doctrine that we must all sin, that we are never free from sin, that we cannot live above sin: is because they have not fully repented and surrendered to the life of Christ. There is a perfected life of Christ where sin does not reign over the mortal body. You must get up walk out and never go back and listen to a man who claims we all must sin. This man cannot perfect himself, how shall he perfect anyone else. Come out from among them.

As we enter the times of many false prophets doing all manner of signs and wonders using Jesus name, we will see massive gatherings of people who will believe these men are servants of God. They are not. Signs and wonders are prophesied for the endtimes to be done by false prophets who will deceive many. I warn one and all, if these are not the true endtime servants of God. Do not follow miracle workers, have your faith in Jesus alone if you never see or receive a miracle.

Divine Order

Passover is coming sundown April 7th. Are you in the Divine Order Jesus gave on the night before his death? Will you walk in the steps of Jesus on this night or walk in the steps of some man or organizational tradition? Have you ever celebrated the Passover of Jesus according to the Divine Order as he gave it? Any Communion, Lord's Supper, or Passover observance that is not according to the steps of Jesus is out of Divine Order. This year, purpose to do it right even if you must do it at home by yourself and with your family.

Anything out of order means it is not according to that set forth by Jesus Messieh. Order as opposed to chaos is the second work of creation. The earth was without form and void. The earth was in chaos. The six days of creation are six steps of chaos to order. At last, when the order was complete and ready for the arrival of man, we can see that all things were by Divine order for the well being of Adam. When Adam arrived he would live and walk in the existence of the Divine order already established. He was not created in the midst of chaos and then expected to evolve into a being of order. Adam came into a perfect world. There was no sin, no evil, no wickedness, nothing to destroy him: Adam was in a perfected state. All he had to do was maintain this spiritual condition.

We are given a clear picture of God's will for Adam. As God took him throughout the garden and gave him knowledge and instructions, it became clear even if Adam did not know it, that his footsteps were now being ordered by God.

When I say ordered, I mean both that his steps were established and that he was commanded in them. To step out of the ordered walk and path was to apostate from God. So the steps ordered gave man no freedom to choose his own steps. Every step he made, he walked in that ordered of God. It came to be, when men multiplied upon the earth that they would seek God for the ordered steps. They would not walk where God did not approve. They would not walk in their own ways. This is very powerful because it separates the Godly from the ungodly. The Godly are so because they choose God's way. The ungodly are so because they have chosen to walk in their own lusts and wickedness. One is pleasing to the Lord God. By pleasing I mean, God finds pleasure and joy in them. But the ungodly are not so. God has no joy or pleasure in the wicked or their lives. He abhors them. He does not like them. Especially when their wicked ways turn to idols and false gods. And then this turns them into all manner of evil practices and customs. These are not those whose steps follow the way of God.

It is a great thing to cause God to have joy and pleasure in us. It is a wonderful thing to do those things that are holy and righteous, to abstain from evil and wickedness. Because God's steps which we are to mimic and duplicate are holy and righteous altogether. We know this by observing the life of Jesus. Every step he made was righteous. Each step was ordered by the Lord. No step was from the flesh for the pleasures of sin. All who follow the pleasures of sin and not walking in the holy steps they have been ordered to walk in will go to hell unless they turn from their evil ways. This is why there is so much attention on the words REPENT and REPENTANCE. Each of them imply that the person so involved confess they have not been walking in the steps ordered by the Lord. Repentance is the turn around. It is the moment of face to face reality that we have gone from the steps of the Lord and we will perish if we do not turn back to God. This is where conviction comes in. When the heart is convicted and the sorrow of sins comes upon us, it leads us to repentance. And in this act of worship we turn back to God to submit to his ordered steps.

Who will do it?

Who will look at where they are, the place their steps have brought them, see their sinful and lost condition, and feel ashamed? I say, not many. Not many any more. So many are so cemented to their evil life there is no turning to God. So they try to make their backslid life acceptable to God. And although God will not have it because it is not one ordered by him, they will justify themselves with the theory God will still be merciful and save them although they openly reject that ordered by the Lord. Herein, the backsliders justify themselves. No man can turn them back to the Divine Order. They are to rebellious to heed the call. They are in their sins and they laugh at Men of God who preach with passion for them to repent. They claim they need no repentance. But their very lives are wrecked by sin and evil. There is nothing greater than this delusional mind so many have.

I have reviewed my own walk with God. Passover is coming up on the evening of April 7th. Many perverters will try to alter this date. Their steps are not ordered by God. But those who observe the true Passover will seek to return to the steps ordered by the Lord. They will submit. They will humble to the Divine Order. And these are the true people of God. The others, the perverters, those who are not walking in the steps of the Lord, these will be the endtime apostates. These will be among the great falling away. Well, Bishop Reckart will not be among these. He will have no fellowship with them. I urge all of you to remember this and do likewise. Follow my example. Have your steps ordered by the Lord.

"The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way" (Psa 37:23).

Delight here can also be translated "pleasure."  God has pleasure and delights in the ways of a good man whose steps he has ordered and the man walks in them. The value of Divine Order must be respected.

I said so!

If you are in false doctrine, following the cunning craftiness of false teachers, YOU ARE NOT IN DIVINE ORDER. If your pastor, prophet, or apostle is not a real Man of God and in the Divine Order you will be lost. You cannot follow men or women who are in a spiritual ditch. You cannot follow blind leaders. They may have some Truth and hold it in unrighteousness, but you cannot remain under them. You must make sure your steps are those ordered by the Lord.

Have your steps been ordered by the Lord? Have you even cared? Have you been walking in your own steps or those of some carnal and lost man or woman? If so, you will be lost. I can say this clearly, no religious organization in the world is ordered of the Lord. Not one of them. You need to come out from all these organizations. You must know and follow the Divine Order.

Are you walking in steps ordered by the Lord? Do not fake it. Be sure.

Who is it?

I have been challenged over the past years about Jesus being the Messieh (Christ). There are some pretty hateful people out there. They can claim Jesus was not the Messieh but they are false. They can claim like John Hagee (Christians United For Israel) that Jesus no where claimed to be Christ or the Messieh. But they are all false.

Here are a few things to think about:

In Matthew 23:7, 10 we have these words of Jesus:

7 But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren.
10 Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ.

Who is the Rabbi who is also Christ if Jesus is not referring to himself?
Who is the Master who is also Christ if Jesus is not referring to himself?
Who is this Christ if it is not Jesus?

This is just one of many come-backs I use on these lying naysayers who claim Jesus Christ or Jesus Messieh has not come in the flesh.

Of course, I go to the Epistle of John to prove that anyone who claims Jesus is not the Christ (Messieh) is antichrist. I get so tired of all these liars emailing me and calling me a devil and a false prophet because I stand up for Jesus being the Christ. I have no patience with these kinds of people. They are already reprobate being antichrist. I have no desire to convert them or even try. I believe they are unable to be brought to repentance.

When we believe in Jesus as the Messieh, we are believing in the Jesus who is both Lord and Christ. And when we say Lord we mean God. When we say Christ we mean the son of David and heir to the throne of Israel. We mean nothing more or less.

When we say Lord Jesus Christ we know what we mean. Anyone who does not speak according to this testimony they are deceivers and liars. I warn all of you, do not follow them. Flee from them as quick as you can.

Jesus is Christ because I said so. And my authority for saying this is found in the Apostle's Doctrine.
