The Lord Yahuah will allow church-going people to believe a huge error because they “did not receive the love of the truth.”
2nd Thessalonians 2:10 – “and in all deceit of unrighteousness (the lies that lawlessness is covered by grace) in those being lost (in the process of falling away), because they did not receive (it is offered and taught in the Scriptures – but rejected by the church) the love of the truth in order for them to be saved.”
2Th 2:11 And because of this, God will send to them a working of error, for them to believe the lie, (“a working of error” sounds like a work within the church, a doctrine in the church that is in error and that this error is a lie, not a mistake; a false premise, not a position of sound doctrine.)
What if the delusion has been part of your life for decades? What is it is part of your basic understanding of the Word? The word says “in order for them to be saved.” Think you are?
The scribes and pharisees kept the law perfectly. I think Jesus point isn’t to toil w the law which doesn’t mean much. The new testament says the law is written in our heart. And it’s relationship with Jesus, Yahusha, Yeshua. I may be wrong . But I don’t think so.
My struggle lies in boldly overriding my lack of trust — again and again !
Let go of your own understanding and quote His Words back to Him. I remind Him all the time that I am foolish, and that He said He uses the foolish to confound the wise 🙂 He is good. He is kind and loving and gentle and wants joy for His children. I am unworthy of knowledge of Him, yet He saved me. Therefore out of respect for Him I must live a life of the very trust you claim not to have. I lean on Him for everything and often I am afraid. But I continue to follow Him. He saved me when I did not know Him. His power flows through me, His presence. His Spirit. I owe Him everything and am glad to give it. Soon, SOON the end of the matter of man comes. Remember how el Shatan tempted Yahusha to jump? Yet Yahusha declared that we are not to tempt Yahuah; To not do foolish things in order to stupidly expect Yahuah to intervene. But to live in His Words… Read more »
Some things bother me. I allow them to continue for a time, looking for wisdom and repentance. Finding none, I guard the Words. I am of the Natsarim. Let’s begin with these: New International Version If anyone turns a deaf ear to my instruction, even their prayers are detestable. New Living Translation God detests the prayers of a person who ignores the law. English Standard Version If one turns away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer is an abomination. Berean Study Bible Whoever turns his ear away from hearing the law, even his prayer is detestable. King James Bible He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination. New King James Version One who turns away his ear from hearing the law, Even his prayer is an abomination. New American Standard Bible One who turns his ear away from listening to the Law, Even his prayer is an abomination. There are a dozen more. Point is that people who do not have the desire to… Read more »
Thank you for posting this.
I am the only one in my life that understands the following of the way to Yahshua HaMashiach .
If it were not for the truth being available on line I would have been lost to the deception.
When I try to relate the truth to others in my life, they react badly.
Thanks Again
Peace and Shalom
Enoch, we are a very small group within the overall “christian” population, and the Christian doctrine has taught for at least all of my life that the “Old Testament” is essentially a dead book. For the “Jews”, for a “different time”. And think about your journey to Torah. It was a personal leading by the Holy Spirit, right? You responded to the prompting by our Father. Why? Because you received the Love of the Truth, Enoch. The love of the Truth is extremely important, but how many people on earth have that burning desire to know the Truth? Few. But I assure you dear brother, everyone who is of the Way has the burning desire to know the Truth. It is a fire that will not go out. We are a very elect band of Natsarim. Many are called, few are Chosen. Able to deceive even the very Elect, if that were possible. To destroy those who keep the commands of Yahuah and have the testimony of Yahusha… Until that which restrains is removed. Two… Read more »
2nd to the last time time I saw you, you cooked Pork steaks there in San Antonio for me and my kids. Meredith and your sons and Rango were there. How was the pork a detractor? And how did we get to a point where our understanding of Yahuahs forgiveness be tied to it? I just don’t get it? No one in the family is making fun of anyone for adhering to the Jewish laws, But. But I can’t believe we have gotten to a point where those pork steaks and that good time with family. The last good time we all had would be Condidered sinful, or Christmas of the 80’s. The tree, the intent. I just don’t get what you mean, and it is disrespectful of your mom and family to think our salvation is any less than yours, or to distance yourself. Pork on a table shared among family lost is family at a table , how would Jesus see less of it? Share show Enoch can see please
Ryan, I appreciate your comment, because it describes precisely what the world sees – a class of believers who are profoundly different from the “Christian” religion. The last time you saw me was over a decade ago, right? In the time since, Yahuah has opened my mind to more Truth. You have no understanding, Ryan. You pursue your own righteousness as defined by your own self. Pork is acceptable to you, but not to Yahuah. Christmas is a fine holiday to you, but not to Yahuah. You accuse me of disrespect to my mother and family, while you have the plank in your own eye – you disrespect Yahuah by rebuking His commands that we keep HIS holy days and that we abstain from even touching pig meat, as well as other items eaten by those in rebellion to His commands. And Ryan, my heavenly Father is far more important to me than my mother, my dad, my sisters, my children, my friends and any other thing that exists. If you read the Word and… Read more »
Rya, Yahuah gave the command for certain foods not to be eaten because they are harmful or can be. Pork is one of the non Cosha foods because people could get ring-worm or other disease from them. Especially if wild boar. You might think it is alright to eat pig now owing to farming methods now and perhaps you are right but pigs are still given rubbish to eat. They are scavenger beasts that will eat anything and from what I heard a while back they are still given junk to eat. The law given the Israelites forbids eating fish that don’t have scales and fins that is because anything that lives on sewage and decaying matter can cause disease like typhoid and other fevers.
Great podcast Jerry…interesting concept about the true believers being the restrainer…definitely something to study out further. I sometimes wonder if the terminology that the translaters used may have been a deliberate attack to keep ‘christians/church goers’ from the truth? EG: Saved v’s redeemed. They have used the word saved instead of redeemed, which gives christianity not only a false hope, but a lazy and arrogant attitude towards the true message of the Gospel of the Kingdom…aka the rule and reign of Yahweh . We are ‘redeemed’ by the blood of the lamb; but as you stated, salvation IS a process. He who endures to the end WILL be saved…we must go the trials and tribulations of the testing of ones faith. We are to WORK out our salvation with fear and trembling. …work is a hebrew idiom for obedience to Yahweh’s instructions. His voice! Also, 1 peter 1:5,9 Also, I have a 1754 edition of ‘Notes on the NT by Wesley’, and his comment on Matt 5:19 is this, “one of the least 《so accounted… Read more »
Great comment, Kate. That word “least” did gain my attention, because I wondered what that word meant. Did it mean saved, but least among those in heaven, or did it mean lost? Nonetheless, we will be amazed at the variety of believers in heaven, for those who love Yahuah will be inclined by the Holy Spirit to walk in the Way, even though most people will not know of the Way. Yah is merciful, wanting to bring in the largest harvest He can obtain. But we of the Way have our own mission, which is to guard the Words and act as watchmen in order to guide and warn. Warning all and guiding the called and the chosen into Torah and life. The commands of Yah are sacred. To ignore them makes His Name into nothing, while worshiping His Son. “You shall worship the Lord your God and Him only shall you serve.” – Yahusha, Matt. 4:10. Who do we pray to? Only Yahuah – Matt. 6:6 We do not pray to Yahusha, as the… Read more »
Not all people go to heaven. The apostles and faithful tried and tested disciples were taken to heaven. But think of the words in the Prayer Yehoshua gave us ‘Our Father in Heaven is to have his name sanctified over all the earth. And His Kingdom is to Come (to earth) and His will is to be done on earth as it is in heaven. The Son of God is to rule over heaven with His Saints as Revelation 5:9,10-14. There is to be a resurrection of the righteous and the unrighteous Acts 24:15 also if you read Revelation chapters 21 and 22 you will see Yahuah our Creator will be with mankind and death will be no more, mourning outcry and pain will be no more. If we look to Yahuah for Salvation through the Ransom Sacrifice of the Only Begotten Son of God that draws us close to the Father Almighty and he can teach us as John 6:44-47. And we can obtain everlasting life. It will be harder for those who are… Read more »
I see a mistake I made the Son of God will come to rule over earth with his saints but I wrote ‘heaven’ by mistake.
