I have some serious questions... by Jon Sherman - jds6958@gmail.com http://www.thenewreformation.org If God asked us these questions, would we be able to answer them?

1) Can perfect be made better?

2) Can we be freed from freedom?

3) Can Truth be made not Truth?

4) Can the path of righteousness be changed into a new path?

5) Can the Ways of God change into a different way?

6) Can forever, perpetual, and lasting throughout the generations to come turn into intermittent and sporadic?

7) Can what defines sin be nullified?

8) Can what is light change into a different light?

9) Can what is life no longer be life?

10) If God is the Word can the Word (and thus God) change?

11) Can something we are to delight in become something we teach against?

12) Can walking as Jesus walked mean not walking as Jesus walked?

13) If Jesus is the Word made flesh, did He get on the cross to abolish Himself?

14) Can instructions for love one day be worthless instructions the next day?

15) Can what is stated to be made for us and to bless us no longer bless us?

Some may need to start preparing their answers as it might take a while to prepare a good defense when YHWH asks these questions at the Bema Seat. This is the judgment for all believers when we get our rewards/crown for obedience to His Word and we find out if we are to be least or great in His Kingdom for all eternity. I actually say nothing new here in what Christian teachers already understand and teach. However, now here comes the practical application:

You might ask, "Why would one even need to ask these questions?" Do you believe the new and modern Christian doctrine of today?

1) ...because new and modern Christian doctrine teaches that God’s law has been made better in the New Covenant.

2) ...because new and modern Christian doctrine teaches that God’s law is bondage and that Christ came to set us free from His Law.

3) ...because new and modern Christian doctrine teaches that some things in God’s Word are no longer True (i.e. Leviticus 11:1-47 and Leviticus 23:1-44).

4) ...because new and modern Christian doctrine teaches that what scripture defines as a path and instructions in righteousness are no longer instructions in righteousness.

5) ...because new and modern Christian doctrine teaches that God changed His Way to a new Way.

6) ...because new and modern Christian doctrine takes God’s written commandments that are clearly established to be forever in the context in which it was used. Select commandments become something that are applicable before Christ, not applicable after Christ (now), and suddenly applicable again when Christ returns (1000 year reign).

7) ...because new and modern Christian doctrine changes what scripture defines as sin and says it is no longer sin.

8) ...because new and modern Christian doctrine changes what scripture says is a light to our path to something that is no longer a light to our path.

9) ...because new and modern Christian doctrine takes commandments that were stated to be made for us and to benefit us are now taken away and no longer for us.

10) ...because new and modern Christian doctrine changes God’s Word when God says He is the Word.

11) ...because new and modern Christian doctrine teaches against parts of God’s Word that God’s Word says we are to delight in.

12) ...because new and modern Christian doctrine teaches that we do not have to walk as Jesus walked.

13) ...because new and modern Christian doctrine teaches that Christ (the living Word) abolished Himself on the cross (abolished the Word).

14) ...because new and modern Christian doctrine teaches that commandments that are stated to be given to us to love God and love others now suddenly does neither.

15) ...because new and modern Christian doctrine teaches that obedience to certain select commandments now suddenly curses us instead of blesses us.

Contrary to new and modern (Roman) Christian doctrine, this is what God’s Word says:

1. The Law blesses (obey) and curses (disobey).

(Deuteronomy 11:26-27)(Psalms 112:1)(Psalms 119:1-2)(Psalms 128:1)(Proverbs 8:32)(Isaiah 56:2)(Matthew 5:6) (Matthew 5:10)(Luke 11:28)(James 1:25)(1 Peter 3:14)(Revelation 22:14) 2. The Law defines sin.

(Jeremiah 44:23)(Ezekiel 18:21)(Daniel 9:11)(Romans 3:20)(Romans 7:7)(1 John 3:4) 2. The Law is perfect.

(Psalms 19:7)(James 1:25) 3. The Law is liberty.

(Psalms 119:45)(James 1:25, James 2:12) 4. The Law is the way.

(Exodus 18:20)(Deuteronomy 10:12)(Joshua 22:5)(1 Kings 2:3)(Psalms 119:1)(Proverbs 6:23)(Isaiah 2:3)(Malachi 2:8)(Mark 12:14)(Acts 24:14) 5. The Law is the truth.

(Psalms 119:142)(Malachi 2:6)(Romans 2:20)(Galatians 5:7)(Psalms 43:2-4)(John 8:31-32) 6. The Law is life.

(Job 33:30)(Psalms 36:9)(Proverbs 6:23)(Revelation 22:14) 7. The Law is light.

(Job 24:13)(Job 29:3)(Psalms 36:9)(Psalms 43:2-4)(Psalms 119:105)(Proverbs 6:23)(Isaiah 2:5)(Isaiah 8:20)(Isaiah 51:4)(2 Corinthians 6:14)(1 John 1:7) 8. The Law is Jesus, the Word made flesh.

(PERFECT-LIBERTY-WAY-TRUTH-LIFE-LIGHT).

(Psalms 27:1)(John 1:1-14)(John 14:5-11)(1 John 1:7) 9. The Law is also for the Gentiles (foreigner/alien) who are grafted in.

(Exodus 12:19) (Exodus 12:38) (Exodus 12:49) (Leviticus 19:34) (Leviticus 24:22) (Numbers 9:14) (Numbers 15:1-41, Numbers 16:1-50) (Numbers 15:29) (ie: Ruth) (Isaiah 42:6) (Isaiah 60:3) (Matthew 5:14) (Ephesians 2:10-13) (Acts 13:47) (Romans 11:16-27) (Jeremiah 1:1-34) (Ezekiel 37:1-28) (1 John 2:10) (1 John 1:7) 10. The Law is God’s instructions on how to love God, how to love others, and how to not love yourself.

(Exodus 20:6)(Deuteronomy 5:10)(Deuteronomy 7:10)(Deuteronomy 11:13)(Deuteronomy 11:22)(Deuteronomy 30:16)(Deuteronomy 6:5)

(Leviticus 19:18)(Nehemiah 1:5)(Daniel 9:4)(Matthew 22:35-37)(Matthew 10:39)(Matthew 16:25)(John 14:15)(John 14:21)(Romans 13:9)(1 John 5:2-3)(2 John 1:6)

Remember:

ALL (not some) scripture is given by inspiration of God.

ALL (not some) scripture is profitable for doctrine.

ALL (not some) scripture is for rebuking and correction ALL (not some) scripture is for INSTRUCTION IN RIGHTEOUSNESS

2 Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

2 Timothy 3:17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

And...

John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

Malachi 3:6 For I am the LORD, I change not Proverbs 28:9 "He who turns away his ear from hearing the Law, Even his prayer is an abomination." And no, Paul did not teach against God’s law either, unless you are comfortable making the "error of the lawless" in interpreting Paul’s letters (2 Peter 3:14-17) Related Studies for Your Consideration - Please Test EVERYTHING to God’s Word as Commanded!

If you believe and act on anything before testing it to scripture you are putting your faith and obedience in men and not God. Test first and hold on to what is good. Do and believe nothing until you read it in scripture first! This is what we will be accountable to in the end. You are commanded to test every word to scripture that comes out of your teachers’ mouth.
