The Commandments of Men

Matthew 15:1-9 Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying, Why do thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread. But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition? For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death. 5But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition.Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying,This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

In this scripture we see Christ talking to a group of Pharisees. The Pharisees confronted Yashaya because his disciples did not wash their hands as the ‘traditions” say you should. Yashaya returns them by asking about the commandments of God that they teach men to disobey, but they condemn man for transgressing the commandments of men. Yashaya tells them you worship me in vain, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. In the church today we see almost every christian church in the world doing exactly what Yashaya reprimanded the Pharisees for. We teach for doctrine the commandments of men. Every Sunday we wake up bright and early and we get ready and we go to Church as we have been doing as a religion for as long as any of us has been on this earth. But when I read the 10 commandments I see one that says remember the SABBATH and keep it holy 6 days shall ye work but on the 7th you rest just as I rested. So where does the Sunday tradition we teach as doctrine in the church come from, because it certainly did not come from The Most High. The Christians during the apostolic era, from about 35 to 100 A.D., kept Sabbath on the designated seventh day of the week. For the first 300 years of Christian history, when the Roman emperors regarded themselves as gods, Christianity became an “illegal religion,” and God’s people were scattered abroad (Acts 8:1). Judaism, however, was regarded at that time as “legal,” as long as they obeyed Roman laws. Thus, during the apostolic era, Christians found it convenient to let the Roman authorities think of them as Jews, which gained them legitimacy with the Roman government. However, when the Jews rebelled against Rome, the Romans put down their rebellion by destroying Jerusalem in A.D. 70 and again in A.D. 135. Obviously, the Roman government’s suppression of the Jews made it increasingly uncomfortable for Christians to be thought of as Jewish. At that time, Sunday was the rest day of the Roman Empire, whose religion was Mithraism, a form of sun worship. Since Sabbath observance is visible to others, some Christians in the early second century sought to distance themselves from Judaism by observing a different day, thus “blending in” to the society around them. During the Empire-wide Christian persecutions under Nero, Maximin, Diocletian, and Galerius, Sabbath-keeping Christians were hunted down, tortured, and, for sport, often used for entertainment in the Colisseum.

When Emperor Constantine I—a pagan sun-worshipper—came to power in A.D. 313, he legalized Christianity and made the first Sunday-keeping law. His infamous Sunday enforcement law of March 7, A.D. 321, reads as follows: “On the venerable Day of the Sun let the magistrates and people residing in cities rest, and let all workshops be closed.” (Codex Justinianus 3.12.3, trans. Philip Schaff, History of the Christian Church, 5th ed. (New York, 1902), 3:380, note 1.)

The Sunday law was officially confirmed by the Roman Papacy. The Council of Laodicea in A.D. 364 decreed, “Christians shall not Judaize and be idle on Saturday but shall work on that day; but the Lord’s day they shall especially honour, and, as being Christians, shall, if possible, do no work on that day. If, however, they are found Judaizing, they shall be shut out from Christ” (Strand, op. cit., citing Charles J. Hefele, A History of the Councils of the Church, 2 [Edinburgh, 1876] 316).

In this event we see a biblical prophecy comes to past that is written in Daniel 7 Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast, which was diverse from all the others, exceeding dreadful, whose teeth were of iron, and his nails of brass; which devoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with his feet; And of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look was more stout than his fellows. I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them;

Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom.

Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces. And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings. And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time. But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end.And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him.

This 4th beast is the current beast The Roman System. We see them coming to change the time and the laws, what does this mean? It means the last kingdom that will come will change the times and Laws of The Most High. Let's look at this word time and what it means. It’s Strong's Cordance H2166 it means, Time or Season. This has a two fold meaning one the beast came and took away the Holy Days of The Bible and replaced them with pagan festivals hid behind christian principles. The calendar God gave Enoch divides the year by season and Holy Days are based upon the seasons. The beast changed the seasons so Instead of ending the year in February with the gift giving Holy Day or Sabbath of Purium the beginning of the year in the spring in March with Passover and The Feast of Unleavened Bread. You end the year with the pagan Festival of Saturnalia where they decorated trees for the god Saturn and gave gift under the cover of “Christmas” and began the year with New Year's Celebrations that often included very sinful deeds. He changed The times by even changing the number of days in the year further interfering with the worship on The Sabbath. The it says the changed the laws or the Laws of God when the Pope declared Sunday the new sabbath he changed God’s Law, now they have gone even further in refuting God’s definition of Marriage, the gone even further and broke the first law before Adam and eve what God said was Good is good and is not to be changed by the transgender and 3rd gender option becomes reality. We see this beast come to destroy the Law of God, and the times and season of the most high God.

The Grace Deception

You see the number of youth in church at an all time low today. Some people say the problem is the upbringing, some people say the problem is the environment around them, I present to you

that the problem is the church.The problem is you tell the youth go read the bible so they do and the see what it says not to do and you tell them Jesus gave you grace from 4/5 of the stuff he said not to do but they don’t get grace for the 1/5 they do . You got grace from eating pork so why can’t i get grace for fornication, you got grace from Remembering the Sabbath but they can’t get grace from smoking weed. You get to pick and choose what you want to be able to get grace for and what you can’t, so now they think just like you they can get grace whenever and for whatever they want if grace means we can sin and keep sinning then there is no hell. Grace came and took death from the law. His blood took sacrifice away from the law, but Matthew 5:17-25 tells you that a dot nor a tittle will pass from the law till heaven and earth pass away, and any man that teaches someone to disobey the least of these commandments shall be the least in the kingdom of heaven. Let’s go to 1 John 3:4 it tells you that “Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.” If sin is transgression of the law how can I not sin if you never taught me the law. Now let’s clear some misconceptions taught wrongly by the Roman Catholic Church. Christians will go to Matthew 15:11 when it says “what goes into a mans mouth can’t defile him but what goes out can”. but they won’t go down to verse 20 and see that it says that Jesus was referring to eating with unwashed hands not eating unclean meat. They defame The Most High by using his word to teach against him. Then they will go to Colossians 2:16 and tell me Paul said let no man condemn you by what you eat, religious festivals or Sabbath. You take this as I can eat pork or I can forget the Sabbath, I can forget passover but it mean the exact opposite. Paul was speaking to converts in Colossae in Asia Minor. You must understand the context of the majority of Paul’s ministry was to be the apostle to the gentiles. Gentiles had never understood the laws of God they were pagan worshipers. So Paul was telling them in their community that they should not let anyone condemn them on the fact that they no longer eat pork and shrimp and lobster and rat and roach and the other abominations. He was saying don’t let anyone condemn you for worshipping on the Sabbath and for keeping God’s holy days instead of worshipping on Sunday and keep The Festival of Saturnalia or as we now call Christmas. Paul was not saying to mix the pagan tradition including holy days and what you eat and do not eat he was saying the exact opposite. This does not give us who know the truth free reign to openly condemn those who do not keep God’s Laws and Ordinances if we have not first taught them the truth that is found in the scriptures. We see in 2 Corinthians 6 14-18 says “ Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you. And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.” What are the Unclean things in this verse ? Or What is Beial and his followers and doctrine. This Church had already followed the ways of the pagans and now they have turned to Christ the true doctrine of Christ meaning they understood when Christ said “Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven”.He says here clearly that he did not come to destroy the law or the prophets but to fulfill. Let's look at the greek of that word Fulfill to fill up or to make whole. It means "to cause God's will (as made known in the law) to be obeyed as it should be, and God's promises (given through the prophets) to receive fulfilment” We also see in Luke 16:17 Yashaya say “And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail.” So are you following the teaching of Christ or are you exerting Paul over Christ ? Or rather trying to exhort Paul over Yashaya because you cannot, Paul was a servant of Yashaya his exact calling was “he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel”. To bear the name of Yashaya not the name of Paul so everything Paul taught had to agree with everything Christ taught or he is a false prophet. Daniel 7:25 tells you “And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.” This passage is talking about the 4th and final kingdom that will rise and has risen in the earth before the coming of the Lord. You see that this Kingdom will seek to change the laws and the times. What is the definition of the word law in the verse is Law of God. The word time here means festival seasons. So it tells you that this last Kingdom will think to change the Laws of God and the Festival seasons. What are the Laws of God? In the time of Daniel there was no question what the Law of The Lord was. Do if in the end this beast of Kingdom can see to change the Law of God and the Festival Season does that not mean that they will and are still to be followed in the end of times? Revelation 12:17 also confirms this for us by saying “And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.”. The beast in this verse is the Devil you can receive that precept in verse 9 of the same chapter. So we have the devil cast down from heaven are he goes to war not with the remnant of her seed that only has the testament of Jesus Christ, but that keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Yashaya. This show without doubt what the way is. We are to chase after the law toward the inward man not just what you show people or what people see but who you are. For without the Law we are lawless, and what good can come from lawlessness. How without the law do we know what sin is? Without the Law how can you train the inward man? How do you know the nature of God. You can tell me the wages of sin is death, but you never taught me what sin was, I never heard 1 John 3:4 in church but I always heard Romans 8 broken down in a way that explains The Most Highs feelings in Amos 5 when he writes “I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell in your solemn assemblies. Though ye offer me burnt offerings and your meat offerings, I will not accept them: neither will I regard the peace offerings of your fat beasts.” Here the Lord is upset with Israel because they live in sin, transgressing the law daily without repentance, and in the morning they just sacrifice to the Lord and go on about their way and continue to sin. Is this not what the church has reduced justification and grace to? We have completely given up on chasing God as little children and we just claim that we have grace from any and everything we want to do, but if you know Christ sin does not abound in you neither you in it and sin is transgression against The Law of God.

Scripture-The Book of Zechariah

In these last days it is imperative that we read and discern the book of the prophets, especially end times prophecy. In The Book of Zechariah you see the Lord come to Zechariah and begins to tell him that Israel and Judah are falling. He comes to tell Zachariah to tell the people of Israel to come to repentance. In the same way Christ came to preach repentance to Israel. Zechariah is set in a time where the Israelites had been in Babylonian Captivity for about 40 years. When Cyrus The Great overthrew Babylon in 539 B.C. he permitted Judeans to return to Judah and began to rebuild, but this generation has never been under The Law, they have never had experience in the ways of The God of their fathers. They come back to an Israel that was still in shambles, an Israel that is still reeling from the reign of Godless and lawless leaders that they had before the exile, but an Israel that is returning to the land to return to the Lord. .In this book you see Zechariah began to get futuristic visions from The Lord. He see The Lord telling of a time where Judah will be strengthened to fight against the Greeks, so that his nation can return home. Before this God tells Zechariah that he will be upset with the shepherds of Judah in this time, because they lie and tell false prophetic vision and they lead Judah astray.God tells Zechariah that Judah will be troubled because there is no true shepard to watch over them and to teach them the ways of The Most High God. We see this becoming reality in the christian church today. In the church today we teach to sin, but we don't like to teach what sin is. 1 John 3:4 tell us exactly what sin is. We will attack a young man for what he listens to and they was he dresses and if he smokes a little weed, but we will not attack ourselves for our own transgressions against things written in God’s law. We won’t attack homosexuality and eating of the abominations of The Most High, but we can attack any and everything this world has taught you was wrong. I am one who likes to take the scripture literally. I believe that My God is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. I believe that he is not a man that he should lie, nor the son of man that he should repent. Therefore thou shalt love the LORD thy God, and keep his charge, and his statutes, and his judgments, and his commandments, always. This tells you how to show your love for God. For this was the incompletion in the law. The incompletion of the law was that is was kept out of fear for man and death and not love for God. This was the mission of Yashaya not to abolish of do away with the law of the lord but to fulfill it, to bring people back to the original purpose, of God's law. Shepherd of God’s people must teach God's people what is abhorrent to God and what is not. We do have grace today and I thank Yashaya and Ahayah for that grace that they gave us so that sin is not unto death, but that grace does not give us a right willfully sin and how can we not willfully sin if we were never taught what sin is. To be taught the law is to be taught righteousness. God has called me to call the shepherds of Judah the Pastor of the Black Christian Church to repentance for forsaking the Law of God and the teachings of Yashaya Hamashiach. When he said in Matthew 5:17-19 “Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shalle have be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.”. Now we have forgotten this teaching and forsaken the mission and the true message of our savior. We have fallen to the point that we ignore even the smallest commandments of Ahayah. Make no graven images of anything in heaven or in earth. Remember the Sabbath to keep it holy. The Clean and Unclean meats of the Law of God, but we can remember to talk about the fornicators and liars and “gangbangers”, weed smokers. What about your pork chop sandwich and ribs you ate yesterday? What about that cross you got in your house? Or that temp fade you got ? We say grace from some sins and no grace from others, grace is for the slip up not the continual sin. Yashaya said “And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail.” - Luke 16:17. The words of Yashaya is over that of any man including Paul. Return to The Law of God or be destroyed saith the Lord
