The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;

The Keepers of the Law – Part 19

The Keepers of the Law – Part 19

The Keepers of the Law – Part 19

Romans 7:16 If then I do that which I would not (and he clearly says he does), I consent unto the law that it is good. (and I am not!!) 

Romans 7:17 Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. 

I don’t do it. Even if my flesh does the things it HATES, it isn’t me doing it. It is SIN that is in my flesh. I can’t help it. Nobody can.

Romans 7:18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. 

We need to READ THIS. READ IT. Understand. This is Paul!

We teach that at salvation the FLESH is unchanged. This is true.

I am here stop 18

Hence… I want to address this…

1Co 6:19  What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? 

v20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s. 

and this…

1Co 3:16  Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? 

v17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are. 

Some say, this means that if you “defile” your body, that God will destroy you.

Firstly, what is to “defile”? Do drugs, eat donuts, drink alcohol, fornicate, not exercie, be overweight?????

How much does it need to be defiled?  A lot, a little, “everything in moderation”, just once?

Remember, God judges in binary!

But, recall, if you are saved, how/according to what scripture, is God going to destroy you? This is idiocy.

1John 5:16 If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it. 17 All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death.

So, how does

“there is nothing good in my flesh”

reconcile with “God dwells in your body”,

“ye are the temple of God” and “your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost”?

If we are going to believe The Bible it must ALLLLL fit.

You can’t believe PART and cast off the rest. You will be ashamed.

This is what those that teach that, “Christians must follow the law”, do.

They believe the parts that fit their narrative and disregard the parts that don’t.

REAL Bible believer’s cannot do this. It ALLL mut fit.

We may not have answers for ALLLLL of it at the moment, but that doesn’t mean we don’t believe it ALL – EVERY VERSE.

So, 

“there is nothing good in my flesh”

MUST RECONCILE WITH “God is in your body”,

“ye are the temple of God” and “your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost”!

I believe they do.

YOUR BODY is made up of 2 separate men.

The Outer Man (my flesh, my members) and the Inner Man (the spiritual man).

Romans 7:22 For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: 

Romans 7:23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. 

2Corinthians 4:16 For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. 

Your body is God’s TEMPLE – ONLY IF YOU ARE SAVED.

This is your INWARD MAN. God dwells in the INWARD MAN – NOT THE OUTWARD MAN.

The OUTWARD MAN is NOT WHERE GOD DWELLS. But it says “body”, so how can that be posible. We shall see.

Romans 2:29 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God. 

God dwells in the INNER MAN. THIS INNER MAN IS SPIRIT. THIS INNER MAN IS IN THE HEART – THE NEW INNER, SPIRITUAL HEART!

1Peter 3:4 But let it be the hidden man of the heart, There is a spiritual man in spiritual heart of a saved human.

v4 continued…in that which is not corruptible…  It is NOT CORRUPTIBLE!!!!!

1Peter 1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.

John 3:6 That which is born (THE MAN U CAN SEE) of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born (THE HIDDEN MAN U CANNOT SEE) of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. 

In order to UNDERSTAND this, you MUST separate the fleh and the spirit. If not, then you will never get it.

We MUST be able to reconcile these verses…

1John 1:8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 

1John 3:9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. 

1John 3:8 He that committeth sin is of the devil;

1John 3:6 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him. 

The ONLY way to possibly UNDERSTAND AND BELIEVE all of these is to separate the flesh and the spirit. Just like The Bible does!!

Well, unless you change this to…

1John 3:9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin practice lawlesness

Again, YOUR BODY is made up of 2 separate men.

The Outer Man (DEAD – my flesh, my members) and the Inner Man (BORN AGAIN – the hidden, spiritual man)

God is ONLY in the INNER MAN — although the INNER MAN IS IN THE BODY OF FLESH – in the temple.

1Corinthians 15:2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.

2Corinthians 6:1 We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain.

“in vain” 55 times in The Bible –  37 in OT – 18 in NT

Here are quite a few of them for illustration – but they ALL fit a basic pattern…

Leviticus 26:16 I also will do this unto you; I will even appoint over you terror, consumption, and the burning ague, that shall consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart: and ye shall sow your seed in vain, (why??? It won’t go as planned…) for your enemies shall eat it.

Leviticus 26:20 And your strength shall be spent in vain (why??? It won’t go as planned…) for your land shall not yield her increase, neither shall the trees of the land yield their fruits.

Jeremiah 46:11 Go up into Gilead, and take balm, O virgin, the daughter of Egypt: in vain shalt thou use many medicines (why??? It won’t go as planned…); for thou shalt not be cured.

Psalms 127:1 A Song of degrees for Solomon. Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it (why??? It doesn’t go as planned…): except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain (why??? It doesn’t go as planned…).

Proverbs 1:17 Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird (why??? You don’t catch the bird…).

Isaiah 30:7 For the Egyptians shall help in vain, (why??? won’t go as planned…) and to no purpose: therefore have I cried concerning this, Their strength is to sit still.

Isaiah 49:4 Then I said, I have laboured in vain (why??? It didn’t go as planned…), I have spent my strength for nought , and in vain (why??? It didn’t go as planned…) yet surely my judgment is with the LORD, and my work with my God.

Jeremiah 2:30 In vain have I smitten your children; (why??? It didn’t go as planned…) they received no correction: your own sword hath devoured your prophets, like a destroying lion.

Jeremiah 4:30 And when thou art spoiled, what wilt thou do? Though thou clothest thyself with crimson, though thou deckest thee with ornaments of gold, though thou rentest thy face with painting, in vain shalt thou make thyself fair; (why??? It won’t go as planned…) thy lovers will despise thee, they will seek thy life.

Zechariah 10:2 For the idols have spoken vanity, and the diviners have seen a lie, and have told false dreams; they comfort in vain: (why??? It didn’t go as planned…) therefore they went their way as a flock, they were troubled, because there was no shepherd.

Matthew 15:9 But in vain they do worship me (why??? It doesn’t go as planned…), teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

1Corinthians 15:58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord (why??? It DOES go as planned…).

Galatians 4:11 I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain.(why??? It didn’t go as planned…)

To do something “in vain” means that THE WORK DONE or THE ACT PERFORMED will not produce the desired results.

It will produce the OPPOSITE of the desired result.

Isaiah 65:23 They shall not labour in vain, (why not???) nor bring forth for trouble; for they are the seed of the blessed of the LORD, and their offspring with them.

So, after all of that Bible EVIDENCE, here is the definition of “in vain”…

What do acts/works produce? WORKS PRODUCE FRUIT!

ACTS/WORK DONE “IN VAIN”=THE ACT/WORK WILL NOT PRODUCE GOOD FRUIT!!

The Act/Work will instead produce EVIL FRUIT!

The definition even fits this…

Isaiah 45:18 For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is none else.

FRUIT OF THE EARTH?

Mark 4:26 And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground; 27 And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up (this would be the fruit!), he knoweth not how.

Mark 4:28 For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear. 29 But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come.

The FRUIT of the Earth is humanity. It is either GOOD FRUIT or EVIL FRUIT. No in-between. God is BINARY!!

Joel 3:11 Assemble yourselves, and come, all ye heathen, and gather yourselves together round about: thither cause thy mighty ones to come down, O LORD. 12 Let the heathen be wakened, and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat: for there will I sit to judge all the heathen round about. 13 Put ye in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe: come, get you down; for the press is full, the fats overflow; for their wickedness is great. 

Matthew 13:24 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: 25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. 26 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. 27 So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares? 28 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up? 29 But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them (they must be similar in appearance, thus “grow together”). 30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.

…

Matthew 13:37 He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man; 38 The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one; 39 The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels. 40 As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world. 41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; 42 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. 43 Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

James 5:7 Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain.

And thus the definition fits these…

The Keepers of the Law – Part 9

Isaiah 56:11 Yea, they are greedy dogs which can never have enough, and they are shepherds that cannot understand: they all look to their own way, every one for his gain, from his quarter. 

If you don’t or can’t UNDERSTAND you cannot get saved.

Daniel 12:10 Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.

NT

Matthew 13:13 Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand. 14 And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias (Isaiah 6:10), which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive: 15 For this people’s heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.

Then here is what follows…

Matthew 13:18 Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower. 

Matthew 13:19 When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side.

Neither the stony nor the thorny is said to UNDERSTAND!

Matthew 13:23 But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.

Mark 4:14 The sower soweth the word. 

Mark 4:12 That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them.

V15 way side, v16 stony, v18 thorny … NONE of them are described as “understanding”

Mark 4:20 And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred. 

You can’t bring forth fruit unless you UNDERSTAND. Refer back to…

Mark 4:11 And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables: 

Matthew 13:23 But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit

 

Luke 8:5 A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it. 

 

Luk 8:10  And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand. 

V5 way side, v6 rock/stony, v7 thorny … NONE of them are described as “understanding”

Luke 8:15 But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience. 

“keep” + “understand” 7 times in The Book

1Chronicles 22:12 Only the LORD give thee wisdom and understanding, and give thee charge concerning Israel,

that thou mayest keep the law of the LORD thy God.

Psalms 119:100 I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts.

Proverb 2:11 Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee:

Proverbs 19:8 He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul: [is equivalent to] he that keepeth understanding shall find good.

Repeated in ACTS…

Acts 28:26 Saying, Go unto this people, and say, Hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and not perceive: 27 For the heart of this people is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes have they closed; lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.

“with their heart”??????????? Ever heard that before?????

Romans 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 

You can’t believe “unto righteousness” if you don’t understand that righteousness is what you are believing unto!!!

You can’t TRULY “believe with your heart” if you don’t TRULY UNDERSTAND!!!

 

Romans 1:28 And even as they did not like to retain [KEEP!] God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; 

v29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, 30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 

Stay with me here…

v31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: 

 

2Timothy 2:25 In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; (understanding is mandatory in order to get saved) 

Acts 3:19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;

You can’t BE CONVERTED until you UNDERSTAND.

You can’t UNDERSTAND without REPENTING.

You can’t truly REPENT unless you REPENT FROM DEAD WORKS.

Hebrews 6:1 Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,

Who are they that “trouble you”??  They that add works of the law to Salvation!!!

Acts 15:24 Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls, saying, Ye must be circumcised, and keep the law: to whom we gave no such commandment: 

Galatians 5:3 For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law. 4 Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace. … 7 Ye did run well; who did hinder you that ye should not obey the truth? … 9 A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump. 10 I have confidence in you through the Lord, that ye will be none otherwise minded: but he that troubleth you shall bear his judgment, whosoever he be. 11 And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer persecution? then is the offence of the cross ceased. 12 I would they were even cut off which trouble you. 

I am here stop 6

Otherwise minded????????

2Corinthians 11:3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent [the devil!!] beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

 

Hebrews 12:15 Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled;

Galatians 3:1 O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you? 2 This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? 3 Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh (fleshly works as PROOF)? 4 Have ye suffered so many things in vain? if it be yet in vain. 

 

Galatians 5:1 Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. 2 Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised (works of the law!!), Christ shall profit you nothing.

 

Romans 4:3 For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness. 4 Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt. 5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. 

 

Revelation 2:4 Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. 5 Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent. 

“fallen” is in the NT 17 times. Most are like this…

Luke 14:5 And answered them, saying, Which of you shall have an ass or an ox fallen into a pit, and will not straightway pull him out on the sabbath day?

Acts 27:29 Then fearing lest we should have fallen upon rocks, they cast four anchors out of the stern, and wished for the day.

Only 2 of them really deal with NT salvation doctrine at all, these 2…

Galatians 5:4 Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.

Revelation 2:5 Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent (Luke 13:3,5 – except ye repent), and do the first works (i.e. John 6:28-29 GET SAVED!!!); or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place (you will cease to be a real church with a messenger angel), except thou repent.

Think possibly they are related??????? I do. And I thinks me is right.

They STOPPED PREACHING GRACE ALONE and added WORKS. How do I know they added works??

Hebrews 6:1 Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and [then, and ONLY then – Luke 13:3-5] of faith (the door to Grace is opened) toward God,

Back to 2Cor5:20 Now then we/us/YOU in the spirit are ambassadors for Christ, (we are about winning souls! As was Paul!)

as though God did beseech you by us: what????

Beseech = BEG. God is BEGGING THEM – through the ministry of reconciliation – through Paul…

we pray you in Christ’s stead, what???? We are begging you in the ministry Jesus has given us… To do what??????????????????

be ye reconciled to God. They are NOT RECONCILED!!! In context, he isn’t asking them to re-dedicate their lives.

NOPE, He is begging them to GET SAVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And then he tells them how it works!!!!!!!!

2Co 5:21  For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. 

 

You see, they are NOT already “made the righteousness of God in him”. He is telling them how to get saved!!!!

Paul (through the Holy Ghost) uses the phrase in another place…

Romans 10:2 For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. 3 For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. 4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth. 

So,,,

2Co 5:21  For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. 

LEADS IMMEDIATELY AFTER THIS, LEADS IMMEDIATELY WITH NO BREAK AT ALL, TO…

2Corinthians 6:1 We then, as workers together with him, beseech (beg)  you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain.

This MIGHT lead one to believe they are connected.

Because they ARE CONNECTED! THEY GO HAND-IN-HAND.

Paul said… Galatians 4:11 I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain. 

1Thessalonians 3:5 For this cause, when I could no longer forbear, I sent to know your faith, lest by some means the tempter have tempted you, and our labour be in vain. 

Who is the tempter??

Matthew 4:1 Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. … 3 And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.

Revelation 20:2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,

What was Paul afraid of?????????

2Corinthians 11:3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent [the devil, the tempter!!] beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

He was afraid that his labour would be IN VAIN!!!!!

1Corinthians 15:1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 

How could one “believe IN VAIN”, something they “received”?????

Galatians 2:21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.

If YOU have to WORK for it – then Jesus is dead IN VAIN TO YOU!!

Galatians 1:6 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. 

Who are they that “trouble you”??  They that add works of the law to Salvation!!!

Acts 15:24 Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls, saying, Ye must be circumcised, and keep the law: to whom we gave no such commandment:
