When the sentence is pronounced, millions of Christians will realize that it was not “lack of information,” but choice. They had the Bible, they knew the commandments, but preferred the voice of their leaders, who promised heaven without obedience to the powerful and eternal Law of God. Their hatred will explode, but it will not change the verdict. Jesus never preached, in the four Gospels, a path of salvation for Gentiles without obeying the Father. There is only one plan: the Father sends to the Son those who hear and obey Him. The Savior trained apostles and disciples to obey God in everything. Jews or Gentiles, we must keep the Sabbath, circumcision, forbidden meats, tzitzits, the beard, and all the other statutes of the Lord. Salvation is individual; obey while you are alive. | “The assembly must have the same laws for you and for the foreigner living with you; this is a lasting ordinance.” (Numbers 15:15)
It is almost blasphemy to believe the lie that the sacrifice of God’s only begotten Son was to save those who live in declared disobedience to the Lord’s Law. This offense to God is the direct fruit of the false doctrine of “unmerited favor,” which has been preached in practically all churches for centuries. And it goes even further. This teaching is so evil that if someone in the church decides to obey God’s laws, as taught in the Old Testament, that person is condemned, for according to them, by obeying the Father, he would be rejecting the Son. God does not send declared disobedient people to His Son, but only the soul that is willing to follow the same laws given to Israel, the nation He chose for Himself. | “Here is the perseverance of the saints, those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.” (Revelation 14:12)
While living among us, the Messiah vehemently condemned those who traded the powerful and unchanging Law of the Father for the doctrines of men. If, in fact, Gentiles were exempt from the Creator’s Law, as many churches claim, Jesus would have said this clearly in the four Gospels, but this does not exist, just as there are no prophecies warning about someone being sent after Christ to teach this heresy. What does exist is the example of Jesus and the apostles on how Jews and Gentiles should live. They all kept every commandment of God: the Sabbath, circumcision, forbidden meats, the use of tzitzits, the beard, and all the other statutes of the Lord. Salvation is individual; do not follow the majority; obey while you are alive. | “The assembly must have the same laws for you and for the foreigner living with you; this is a lasting ordinance.” (Numbers 15:15)
God grants general blessings to all humanity, but the special blessings , those that transform destinies, heal, deliver, and protect , are reserved for His chosen people, Israel. The Gentile who desires this special attention from the Most High needs to align himself with the people of the covenant, obeying the same laws that Israel has always obeyed, including Jesus, His apostles, and disciples. This is how the Father recognizes us, welcomes us, and pours favor upon us. Salvation is individual. Do not follow the majority , obey while you are alive. | “And now, Israel, what does the Lord your God ask of you but to fear the Lord your God, to walk in all his ways, and to obey his commandments for your own good?” (Deuteronomy 10:12-13)
The apostles and disciples did not live a “new faith” separate from the Father’s Law; they followed the Messiah exactly as He taught and lived: keeping the Sabbath, refusing unclean meats, not shaving their beards, wearing tzitzits, and remaining in the covenant of circumcision. None of this was optional, but visible faithfulness to the God of the universe. It is sad to see that so many churches lie and claim, without any support from the words of Jesus in the four Gospels, that these commandments are not for Gentiles and call this disobedience ”unmerited favor.” Heaven will not receive the disobedient. If you want to please God, follow only what was taught by the prophets and by Christ. Salvation is individual; obey while you are alive. | “The assembly must have the same laws for you and for the foreigner living with you; this is a lasting ordinance.” (Numbers 15:15)
God struck down Achan and his family for one reason only: he knew the Lord’s command to destroy everything in Jericho and yet disobeyed and kept something for himself. This is the heart of many churches: the people know the wonderful commandments of God, but obey only those that suit them. Jews or Gentiles, we can only be sure of salvation if we live as Jesus and His apostles lived, obeying the entire mighty Law of the Most High: the Sabbath, circumcision, forbidden meats, wearing tzitzits, the beard, and all the other statutes of the Lord. The Blood of the Lamb does not cover rebels. Salvation is individual. Do not follow the majority, obey while you are alive. | “Do not add to or take away from the commandments I give you. Simply obey the commandments of the Lord your God.” (Deuteronomy 4:2)
From the beginning of human history, Gentiles have never been outside the plan of the Most High: there has always been a place for all peoples, but that place was only alongside Israel, the people of the covenant. The way to access the Lamb has never changed: both Jews and Gentiles have always needed to seek to obey the mighty Law of God to benefit from the innocent Blood, for the Father never sends to the Son those who decide to live in rebellion. This is exactly how the apostles and disciples lived, who learned directly from Jesus: they kept the Sabbath, rejected unclean meats, were circumcised, did not shave their beards, wore tzitzits, and obeyed the other laws given to the prophets. Obey while you are still alive. | “The assembly must have the same laws for you and for the foreigner living among you; this is a lasting ordinance.” (Numbers 15:15)
The Bible states that the serpent was the most cunning of the creatures in the garden, not the most foolish. This is clearly demonstrated by the way the devil convinces millions to disobey God’s laws, given by the prophets, with simple and obvious lies, exactly as he did with Eve. None of Satan’s arguments are supported by the words of Jesus, but it does not matter, people gladly accept his lies. Jesus never taught that His death would exempt people from following His Father’s laws, as people believe. What He actually taught is that no one comes to the Son unless the Father sends them, and the Father does not send declared disobedient people to Jesus; He sends those who seek to follow His laws, given to Israel, laws that Jesus Himself and His apostles followed. | “This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless it is granted by the Father.” (John 6:65)
The foolish Gentile, who could easily become part of the Israel of God, as Ruth, Jethro, Uriah, and Rahab did in the past, prefers to follow the path of disobedience. He thinks himself brave and says he will not obey the commandments that the Lord revealed through the prophets in the Old Testament and, even so, believes he will be welcomed in heaven. But this false confidence comes from blind leaders who taught him to despise the Law of the Most High. At the final judgment, this soul will have a bitter surprise upon realizing that he rejected the only path that leads to Jesus: obedience to the God of Israel. Salvation is individual. Do not follow the majority, obey while you are alive. | The foreigner who joins himself to the Lord, to serve him, thus becoming his servant… and who holds fast to my covenant, I will also bring to my holy mountain. (Isaiah 56:6-7)
Every human being who becomes an obstacle to our reaching the Kingdom of God becomes an enemy. From Eden until today, the path of salvation has never changed: we are purified by the blood of the Lamb, Jesus, and we only come to the Lamb when we please the Father of Jesus through obedience to His Law, given to the prophets who came before the Messiah. Many lie by saying that we do not need to obey God’s commandments to inherit the Kingdom, but Jesus never taught this. Even if friends or family try to convince you to disobey, do not believe them, do not follow men, do not follow the majority; follow only Christ and the path He lived and taught. Salvation is individual. Obey while you are still alive. | “Here is the perseverance of the saints, those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.” (Revelation 14:12)
