The Jewish Jesus And His Church

The Jewish Jesus established his Church on the day of Pentecost.

This Church had no pope.
It had no holy water fountains.
It has no candles for the dead.
It had no rosary to pray the "our Father, or Hail Mary."
It had no confession booth.
It had no daily mass.
It had no images of saints to whom people prayed.
It had no priests with robes.
It had no crucifix to worship.
It had no bells to chime in the mass.
It had no purgatory for the dead in hell.
It had no limbo for dead children who were not holy enough to go to heaven.
It has no trinity of three separate gods.
It had no observance of Christ-mas.
It had no obervance of Easter.
It had no observance of monk St. Patricks trinity shamrock day.
It had no monk St. Valentine's day for lovers.
It had no monks at all.
No one prayed to Mary to pray to her son to get requests approved by God the Father.
No one prayed to the sacred heart of Mary.
No one claimed Mary was the mother of God.

The Church the Jewish Jesus established was not a Catholic church. The Church the Jewish Jesus established was not a Protestant church. All of these are false churches.

The Church the Jewish Jesus established was the Kingdom of God. Peter was not the first pope. There never was any pope of this Christian Church.

Peter had the keys to the Kingdom, which means he had three things: authority, revelation-knowledge, and first right to open the doors of the Church to Jewish and Gentile converts. Peter was not a Catholic, never knew a Catholic, and never attended or went into a Catholic church.

The Jewish Jesus established his Church Kingdom upon the plan of salvation for all humanity. This plan was given to the Apostles who were told to preach it to all nations. The preaching of this plan was called the good news or the Gospel. Salvation was by grace through faith in the death, burial, and resurrection (water baptism), and being born again of the water and Spirit. This can all be found in Acts 2:38 where Peter preached from revelation-knowledge and used the keys of Kingdom authority and his first right to open the doors to converts.

Herein there is a great revelation of faith. The Apostles were to put all the pieces together as the Holy Spirit revealed more and more the indepth teachings of Christ. One of these revelations was concerning circumcision which they handled in Acts 15. No where did the Jewish Jesus teach that circumcision would save any man. No where did he teach this ritual would make a man holy or sanctified. No where did he instruct a ministry of circumcision of the flesh. There are no Mohels in the New Testament Church. The Jewish Jesus did not train or ordain any of his Apostles to be priests or administrators or judges of the Law.

Now herein is one of the greatest revelations of the Apostles in Acts 15. It is not openly discussed. The revelation is not laid out for the casual eye to catch. Only those with the gift of revelation-knowledge would get it. The rest would read Acts 15 and never have a clue why the Apostles could so easily say that circumcision was of no value to converts. Yes, all the men had been circumcised. Yes, all of them knew this was commanded of Abraham and his seed. And yes they knew this practice continued in the flesh and even among some of the Jewish converts. But the time had come for revelation-knowledge to manifest. What was to be the response to the question of should the Gentile converts be forced to undergo circumcision?

The Jewish Jesus laid down the basic doctrine of salvation in Mark 16:16 and there is no mention of circumcision. So what was the grand and beautiful revelation that controlled the Acts 15 convention?

It was this: the fact of being born again. Now isn't that quite simple? But you don't get it you say?

Well how about I open the eyes of the blind?

You see, the flesh is the flesh, and the Spirit is the Spirit. To be born of the flesh is one thing and to be born of the Spirit is another. So, those born of the flesh were circumcised. But those born of the Spirit are in no need of circumcision. For they in the Spirit are circumcised in Christ at their baptism (See Col 2:12-14). So, do you get it now? This does not mean infant baptism. No, it means whenever a person is born of the SPIRIT they are a new body, a new creation, and this happens when a person receives the Holy Ghost. When a child receives the Holy Ghost they also are Spirit born and can be baptized. So, don't go off like crazy bats and do infant baptisms because you think water baptism is the replacement of natural circumcision. No, water baptism is the baptism into the circumcised death, circumcised burial, and circumcised resurrection of Christ. But baptism is not being born of the Spirit. But it is the Holy Ghost, being born of the Spirit that gives us our NEW LIFE, not water baptism which is a burial and ending of a life of sin. Do, you get it?

Well, those born of the Spirit are not bound by the carnal laws and commandments of those born only in the flesh. So, those rituals and ordinances for the flesh do not apply to those who are born of the Spirit. What does this mean? It means those born of the Spirit are to live and walk a spiritual life in Christ that they are in no need of circumcision of the flesh. And those who go back to circumcision of the flesh and denied their birth of the Spirit are surely damned. This is why Paul could tell the Galatians they had fallen from Christ whosoever of them are justified by the flesh. And he could tell them that if circumcision and works of the law could save, then Christ is dead in vain. And he could say he wished those CUT OFF for teaching circumcision to the Galatian Gentiles.

So, the revelation that guided the Acts 15 conference on Law-Keeping was that those born of the Spirit are not under the yoke of the carnal commandments that serve only for those born of the flesh prior to the giving of the Holy Ghost on the day of Pentecost.

Hence, no one born of the Spirit was commanded or ordered to have circumcision since their being born again gave them a greater holiness and sanctification that natural circumcision could never give.

The Jewish Jesus and his Church is holy and sanctified by the Holy Ghost through the cleansing of his precious Blood.

And this Church is not Catholic, Protestant, or any such like thing.

Are You A Man God Made?
Do You Get It?
And Some Hated Me For Saying Those Words Of Revelation That They Could Not Get In Their Carnal World Of Delusions
