**THE GREAT APOSTACY JUST BEFORE AND AT THE BEGINNING OF THE GREAT TRIBULATION**
2 Timothy 3:1-4,8: There will be terrible times in the **LAST DAYS**. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God--having a form of godliness but denying its power... They are men of depraved minds who, as far is the Truth is concerned are rejected!
Revelation 24:9-13: Jesus prophesied, "Then {At the beginning of the Great Tribulation} you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of Me. At that time **MANY** will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of **MOST** will grow cold, but he who stands firm to the end will be saved!"
I Timothy 41-3: The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron. They forbid people to marry {RC priests & nuns} and order them to abstain from certain foods {Like Quiznos}, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth!! {See Mark 7:18-23}
You are right Littlest David. Since Jesus had replaced the OT antiquated laws with a brand new **NEW TESTAMENT LAWS** He really wasn't breaking the antiquated OT laws since Jesus was obeying His brand new **NEW TESTAMENT LAWS**!!
Exodus 31:14-16: Observe the Sabbath, because it is holy to you. Anyone who desecrates it is to be put to death; those who do **ANY WORK** on that day must be **CUT OFF** from their people... Whoever does **ANY WORK** on the Sabbath day is to be **PUT TO DEATH**!"! {That would also include any **GOOD WORK** like healing those with permanent infirmities which could be cured in the 6 days before or after a Sabbath Day}
Exodus 20:8-19: "Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. Six days you will labor and **ALL YOUR WORK**, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord. On it you shall do **NO WORK**! {Which would include any **GODD WORK**}
Exodus 35:2,3; Whoever does **ANY WORK** on the Sabbath must be **PUT TO DEATH** Do not **LIGHT A FIRE** in any of your dwellings on the Sabbath day.
This was possible in Israel not to **LIGHT A FIRE** since it is about the same latitude of warm South Carolina. But anyone in the frigid parts of the earth must freeze to death in the winter since electricity would not be invented until over 3,000 years after this commandment was given!!
Jesus **IMMEDIATELY ELIMINATED AND BROKE** 26 death penalties in the Old Testament when He commanded in John 8:7: "Let any one of you who is **WITHOUT SIN** be the first to throw a stone at her!" {Who committed adultery} {Which is impossible since every human has committed sin}
John 5:16-18: So because Jesus was doing these things on the Sabbath, the Jewish leaders began to persecute Him. In his defense Jesus said to them. "My Father is always at His work to this very day, and ******I TOO AM **WORKING**!*****" For this reason they tried all the more to kill Him; not only was **HE BREAKING THE SABBATH**, but He was even calling God His own Father, making Himself equal with God.
Hebrews 7:18,19: The former regulation is SET ASIDE because it was **WEAK AND USELESS**; for the law made nothing perfect, and a better hope is introduced, by which we draw near to God.!
Matthew 26:30-34: They seized Jesus and arrested Him. With that, one of Jesus' companions reached for his sword, drew it out and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear. "Put your sword back in its place," Jesus said to him, "For *ALL* who draw the sword will die by the sword...But how then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that say it must happen in this way?"
Former OT commands in Exodus 21:23-25 "If there is serious injury, you are to take life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, burn for burn, wound for wound, bruise for bruise."
This was immediately changed and **BROKEN BY JESUS* by these NT commands by Jesus:
Matthew 5:38,39: Jesus commands, "You have heard that it was said {In Exodus 21:23-25 above}, 'Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.' But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If someone strikes you on the right cheek turn to him the other also!"
Matthew 5:33-37: Jesus says, "You have heard that it was said to your people long ago {Numbers 30:2 above}, 'Do not break your oath, but keep the oaths you have made to the Lord.' BUT I tell you, Do not swear at all....Simply let your 'Yes' be 'Yes,' and your 'No, 'No'; anything beyond this comes from the evil one!!" {THIS COMMAND BY JESUS COMPLETELY ELIMINATED AN OATH OR VOW BY ANY BORN FROM ABOVEE CHRISTIAN!!
Mark 7:18,19: Jesus says, "Are you so dull?" He asked. "Don't you see that nothing that enters a man from the outside can make him 'unclean'? For it doesn't go into his heart but into his stomach, and then out of his body." In saying this. Jesus declared ALL FOODS "CLEAN! For what comes out of a man is what defiles them. For it is from within, out of a person's heart, that evil thoughts come--sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly. Al these evils come from inside and make a person **UNCLEAN**!"
THIS COMMAND BY JESUS **IMMEDIATELY** ELIMINATED THE MANY UNCLEN FOODS FORBIDDEN BY OLD TESTAMENT LAWS IN LEVITICUS 11:1-47
And so Jesus and His disciples could immediately eat all the foods that were a sin to eat according to OT antiquated laws in Leviticus 11:1-47 that were immediately changed by the commands of our Great God and Savior Jesus Christ!!
I Corinthians 9:21: I am under **CHRIST'S LAW**!!
*WE* ARE NO LONGER UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF THE OLD TESTAMENT LAWS!!
Galatians 2:14-16,20,21; Paul said, When I saw that they were not acting in line with the truth of the gospel, I said to Peter in front of them all, "You are a Jew, yet you live like a Gentile and not like a Jew. How is it, then that you force Gentiles to follow Jewish customs? We who are Jews by birth and not 'Gentile sinners' know that a man is NOT justified by observing the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by observing the law, because by observing the law no one will be justified.!"
Galatians 2:20,21: The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!"
Galatians 3:10-13: "All who rely on observing the law are under a curse, for it is written "Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law." Clearly no one is justified before God by the law, because, "The righteous will live by faith." The law is not based on faith; on the contrary, "The man who does these things will live by them." Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us!
Galatians 3:23-25: "Before faith came, we were held prisoners by the law, locked up until faith should be revealed. So the law was put in charge to lead us to Christ that we might be justified by faith. Now that faith has come, *WE* ARE NO LONGER UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF THE LAW!!"
Hebrews 7:18,19: The former regulation is SET ASIDE because it was **WEAK AND USELESS**; for the law made nothing perfect, and a better hope is introduced, by which we draw near to God.!
Hebrews 8:8,9,13: "The time is coming." says the Lord, "when I will make a New Covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah".... By calling this Covenant "NEW", He has made the first one OBSOLETE; and what is OBSOLETE and aging will soon disappear."
Hebrews 8:6: But the ministry Jesus has received is as superior to theirs as the covenant of which He is Mediator is SUPERIOR TO THE OLD ONE, and it is founded on better promises.
Colossians 2:16,17: Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you **EAT** or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a **SABBATH** day. These are a *SHADOW* of the things that were to come, the reality, however, is found in Christ!!!
Prophetic 7744 says, “You are right Littlest David. Since Jesus had replaced the OT antiquated laws with a brand new **NEW TESTAMENT LAWS** He really wasn't breaking the antiquated OT laws since Jesus was obeying His brand new **NEW TESTAMENT LAWS**!!”
Later in his post, the false prophet, prophetic 7744, continues to double down on his false claim Jesus broke laws.
Thank you prophetic 7744 for providing another example of a ridiculous argument.
No serious student of scripture would ever document such a stupid claim! And NONE would attach their name to it!!
Prophetic still doesn’t understand that Jesus’ kept and applied God’s law perfectly, just as he said. But the false prophetic 7744 disagrees with Jesus.
The scripture very clearly teaches that Jesus defended the law of Moses but taught against the >>anti-law man-made traditions of the elders<< that were being used by false teachers as law to modify and twist the Mosaic law.
You are right Littlest David. Since Jesus had replaced the OT antiquated laws with a brand new **NEW TESTAMENT LAWS** He really wasn't breaking the antiquated OT laws since Jesus was obeying His brand new **NEW TESTAMENT LAWS**!!
It is interesting to note that LittlestDavid does not answer the many Scriptures which contradict his ridiculous beliefs about antiquated Old Testament Laws!!

Did you want to take over the "Verse of the Day" for May. I think it can be confusing if we have two threads for the same thing and I see you're doing them now too. :)
The guy who’s selfish “main motive” for “serving” the Lord just happens to be what he expects to get out of the deal! All he wants now is to be the main star on every thread!! Someone thinks he’s “nice” guy!

Richard the pathetic7744 false teacher LOVES to accuse the Messiah of **SINNING** of breaking His Father's LAW and doing so because Richard the pathetic7744 BREAKS commandments everyday! He has told us so many times on this forum! Richard is PROUD of being a LAW breaker!
So tell us Richard the pathetic7744 teacher...... If your "Jesus" you claim broke the 7th DAY Sabbath LAW that came about from creation by His Father in heaven (Gen 2:2,3), and then while the Messiah walked this stable stationary earth, became now a sinner according to you, like the rest of us had, then what good does it do you to "earn rewards" as you claim? What good is your "fruit" in your so called ministry and THINK you are doing on this forum?
Your simply a DEAD man come judgment day because you don't have a sacrifice (like the OT pointed too) for you sins??? Your "Christ" is now blemished and unacceptable to the Father for your sins! Your toast dude!
You contradict the gospel message yourself don't you? Your reasoning skills are doomed? You also cannot claim - "JESUS REALLY DIDN'T BREAK ANY OT LAWS BECAUSE HE FIRST CHANGED THE OT LAW INTO A BRAND NEW, NEW TESTAMENT LAW" according to YOUR teaching! Because regardless of supposedly He changed the Sabbath LAW while the Messiah walked this earth, he broke it according to YOU during OT times BEFORE His death on the pole/tree! Most every church today teaches that the Sabbath Law was "nailed to the cross" at His death but not you? Why? Your TRAPPED in your reasoning LIES to yourself dude! You expose yourself to everyone on this forum that you are certainly a false teacher!
Friends you should note, that if the Messiah did break the 7th DAY Sabbath LAW and did away with it, then WHY would He instruct His people that they would be keeping it when the temple was destroyed and his people murdered in about 70 AD???
Matthew 24:20 "But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day."
