Many in the churches do not realize that Jesus never created a religion. Prophecies in various passages indicated that the Messiah would come from the lineage of Seth, Abraham, Jacob, and David, and so Jesus was born, lived, and died as a Jew, and His followers were all Jews. The idea of founding a new religion for the Gentiles did not come from Jesus, but from the enemy, who conceived a faith separated from the people of God to divert the Gentiles from the true plan of salvation. What Jesus taught is that the Father sends us to the Son, and the Father only sends those who follow the laws He gave to His people. God observes us and, seeing our obedience even in the face of opposition, He unites us to Israel and delivers us to Jesus for forgiveness and salvation. This plan of salvation makes sense, because it is the true one. | “I have revealed your name to those whom you gave me out of the world. They were yours; you gave them to me; and they have obeyed your word [the Old Testament].” (John 17:6)
The greatest spiritual tragedy of our time is that Gentiles have learned to call “unmerited favor” what God calls rebellion. Many believe they can ignore the commandments revealed in the Old Testament and still inherit eternal life, as if the Father had changed His standard after the ascension of Christ. But Jesus never taught that disobedience would be accepted. He lived and preached total faithfulness to the Father’s Law, and the apostles followed the same path. The Father only sends to the Son those who please Him through sincere and persevering obedience. Salvation is individual. Do not follow the majority , obey while you are alive. | “My mother and my brothers are those who hear the word of God [Old Testament] and do it.” (Luke 8:21)
The mighty and eternal Law of God has existed since the beginning of humanity. If any law had been canceled, whether for Jews or Gentiles, the Messiah would have prepared His disciples for this change, for Jesus said He only spoke what the Father commanded. But none of the four gospels record this supposed cancellation; this heresy only appears years later, when men, inspired by the serpent, began to teach what Christ never taught. Those who walked with Jesus kept the Sabbath, rejected forbidden meats, were circumcised, wore tzitzits, and did not shave their beards. There is no record of Jesus rebuking them for being obedient. Salvation is individual; do not follow the majority; obey while you are alive. | Not everyone who says to me, Lord, Lord! will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven (Matthew 7:21)
If the devil commands ten, a thousand, or a million demons to attack you, you will be protected , as long as you do not turn to the right or to the left from the mighty commandments that God revealed to us through the prophets before Jesus and by Jesus Himself in the four Gospels. This is the only way to maintain constant protection against the forces of darkness. But the devil, as cunning as ever, managed to convince many in the churches to disobey the laws that the Lord delivered in the Old Testament. That is why they live vulnerable, without spiritual defense, easy targets for the continuous attacks of evil. Salvation is individual. Do not follow the majority , obey while you are alive. | “Be careful to do as the Lord your God has commanded you. Do not turn aside to the right or to the left.” (Deuteronomy 5:32)
Jesus never taught the absurdity that anyone who wants to follow Him and be saved cannot seek to obey His Father’s Law. Nor did He state that He would obey His Father’s laws in place of the Gentiles, because, although all His relatives, friends, and apostles sought to obey the commandments of the Old Testament, the Gentiles would be too weak to even try to obey and, therefore, could ignore the Law and still be saved. It is evident that none of this is true; however, directly or indirectly, this is what is taught in many churches. Salvation is individual. No Gentile will ascend without seeking to follow the same laws given to Israel, laws that Jesus Himself and His apostles followed. Do not follow the majority because they are many. | “It is easier for heaven and earth to disappear than for the least stroke of a pen to drop out of the Law.” (Luke 16:17)
Many churches preach and sing about Jesus, but teach a plan of salvation that He never authorized. Any doctrine that is not supported by the words of Christ does not come from God. The popular message that Gentiles do not need to obey the mighty and eternal Law of the Father does not appear in the four gospels; therefore, it is a lie, even if repeated for centuries. Jew or Gentile, whoever wants to see the true standard should look to the apostles, who walked with Jesus and remained faithful to the entire Law: Sabbath, circumcision, forbidden meats, tzitzits, beard, and all the other commandments. Do not follow the majority; obey while you are alive. | The Gentile 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)
No negative word spoken by any man has power over the person who approaches the throne in humility and obedience. In various places in Scripture, God revealed to the prophets that He would place a wall of protection around all who sincerely seek to obey His mighty commandments , whether Jew or Gentile. The Most High honors those who honor Him. But the soul who knows the commandments and does not obey them remains vulnerable, exposed, and without the protection that God promised only to the faithful. Salvation is individual. Do not follow the majority. Obey while you are still alive. | “Oh, that their hearts would be inclined to fear me and keep all my commandments always, so that it might go well with them and their children forever!” (Deuteronomy 5:29)
Something diabolical has been happening. There is not a single biblical character who rejected the Law of God and encouraged others to do the same , that never happened in Scripture. All the men approved by God lived in obedience to the commandments revealed to the prophets who came before the Messiah and by the Messiah Himself. Even so, many leaders tell the Gentiles that rejecting the Father’s Law in the Old Testament is the way to ascend with Jesus, as if disobedience opens the doors of heaven. This idea did not come from God, but from the serpent. This is more than obvious. Wake up to the facts. Obey while you are still alive. | “Here is the perseverance of the saints, those who keep the commandments of God and the faith in Jesus.” (Revelation 14:12)
The devil may be cunning to us humans, but not to God. For centuries, the serpent has brainwashed the churches, diverting the attention of the gentiles from the truths that the Lord gave us through His prophets in the Old Testament. The reason is simple: it was through these prophets that God gave His laws to the human race, so that by obeying them, we may be blessed and sent to the Lamb for forgiveness and salvation. By belittling the prophets, the serpent also belittles the Law given to the prophets, thus achieving its eternal goal: that men do not obey God. No gentile will ascend without seeking to follow the same laws given to Israel. Laws that Jesus Himself and His apostles followed. Do not follow the majority because they are many. The end has already come! Obey while you are alive. | “If only they had such a heart as this always, to fear me and to keep all my commandments. Then it would go well with them and with their descendants forever!” (Deuteronomy 5:29)
One of the devil’s most destructive lies is that Jesus’ words about obeying the Father’s Law apply only to the Jews. Millions of gentiles have accepted this deception and rejected the commandments of God given in the Old Testament, believing they could be saved without obeying. But Jesus Himself said that salvation comes from the Jews , because it comes from the laws and promises that God made to His people. The gentile who wishes to be saved must join this same people by obeying the same laws. The Father sees his faith and courage, unites him to Israel, and sends him to Jesus for forgiveness and salvation. Salvation is individual. Do not follow the majority , obey while you are alive. | “My mother and my brothers are those who hear the word of God [Old Testament] and do it.” (Luke 8:21)
