What evil can these people possibly do?
Scriptures for this study--> Many will say to me on that day: Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?
Then I will tell them plainly: I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!' Matt.7:22-23
1. To the people who said to Jesus: “Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name
drive out demons and perform many miracles?”
2. Jesus said: Then I will tell them plainly: I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!'
3. My question for this study: What evil can these people possibly do?
A. Holding to the old law and disobey the new law!
1. 25 years ago, one day I drove on Roosevelt Ave. made a right turn into Main Street. A police stop me
and gave me a ticket saying that I made and illegal right turn! I said, I had been driving this way for
15 years since I live here! He said, there is a new sign that says no right turn! So I got a ticket for $15!
As we can see, it was legal to turn right from Roosevelt Ave. into Main Street. But the rule changed!
I did not pay attention to the new sign! I just turn right as I did for 15 years! It was so natural to me!
The fact is this. In obeying the old law, I had been found to be a law breaker! Fined $15!
2. When comes to Bible teaching it is a lot more serious! It is a matter of heaven or hell!
To help the Jews and all the people in the world! Apostle Paul had to write Hebrews, Galatians and
Romans to explain why and how the Old Covenant had to be ended and obey the New Covenant!
3. According to Old Covenant law only Levites can be priests!
Hebrew chapter 6 verse 20 tells us Jesus has become the forever high priest in the New Covenant!
Hebrew chapter 7 to chapter 10 detailing how and why the Old Covenant law had to change!
4. Jesus is not from Levites, he is from Judas! When people hold on to obey the Old Covenant they
would make Jesus become a law breaker!
5. So how evil can this be? This make Jesus, the Savior become a sinner!
I say, in the law 2000 years 99% Jews and 99% denomination people are doing this evil!
6. When we read Acts chapter 26, we know Apostle Paul is a classic example of this!
As a straightly trained Pharisee he thought he knew the Old Covenant law, he vigorously oppose and
persecuted the churches of Christ! He thought he was zealously serving God the right way!
It took Jesus appeared to him in a vision on the road to Damascus to make him realize this!
By the grace of God, he was given a chance to change! He took it! He became a persecuted himself!
7. Like right now I am telling all people to obey the New Covenant and leave the Old Covenant alone!
Who is listening and change accordingly!
8. To this day, Jewish Rabbi still tell their young people to obey the Old Covenant and not to read the
New Testament Bible!
We all know the center piece of the Old Covenant law is once a year they must sacrifice a live lamb,
cut it into pieces, clean it up and burn it on the alter for atonement of sins!
Do I have to tell you, no one in America, no one in the kingdom of Israel can obey this rule!
If you can’t obey the center piece of the law, what is the use to obey other miner ones!
It is ridiculous and stupid to see a medical doctor trying to revive a dead body that has no head!
B. Here is another evil these people can do! Mark 7:9
They have a fine way of setting aside the commands of God and hold on to their man made teaching!
1. You have a fine way of setting aside the commands of God in order to observe your own tradition!
2. I tell you this so that no one may deceive you by fine-sounding arguments. Col.2:4
3. Example: He who believes and is baptized shall be saved. He who believes not shall be condemned!
It is simple and clear to me! This is what says in Mark 16:16.
But 99% denomination preachers say, since in the second part of this verse Jesus did not say, he who believes not and baptized not shall be condemned. Therefore, he who believe and is baptized shall be saved does not count! What count is believed! Read Jn.3:36 Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God's wrath remains on him.
Such a wonderful fine-sounding argument! Who can know this is wicked and evil!
I can only pray: Lord, please have mercy on all these people in all these denomination churches!
They are all trapped in this spiritual dead trap!
How can these people come out of this dead trap! I guess another appearance of the Lord in visions to each one of them! I have been trying to help for 40 years in N.Y.C. how many care!
Read Acts 22:12-16 see what Paul said about his own salvation experience.
Read Acts 16:30-34 see what Paul said in his preaching and the salvation of the Philippians jailer family!
Read Acts 2:36-38 see what Apostle Peter preached to the not Jews on how their sins may be forgiven!
Read Acts 19:4-5 you will know their understand of this believe in Jesus was this-->
Ac 19:4 Paul said, "John's baptism was a baptism of repentance. He told the people to believe in the one coming after him, that is, in Jesus."
Ac 19:5 On hearing this, they were baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus.
C. People dare to name the church is another wicked and evil that people do in all the world!
Jesus said, this is my church! And you get to name that church! Who are you in relation to Jesus?
The church is described as the wife of Christ and you get to name his wife, who are you?
The church of the body of Christ and you get had to name this church, what are you doing?
All these are evils these people possibly do! And in fact they are doing it and keep doing it!
May the Lord bless you and keep you always! Preach this on March 10, 2013.
May the Lord have mercy! I wrote this on March 4, 2013. I do not know when will I preach this yet!
