The Daily Word of Righteousness

The Greatest Lie Ever Told, #9

And Aaron shall lay both his hands upon the head of the live goat, and confess over him all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their transgressions in all their sins, putting them upon the head of the goat, and shall send him away by the hand of a fit man into the wilderness: (Leviticus 16:21)

The Day of Atonement (set forth in Leviticus, Chapter 16) describes the atonement made through the blood of the slain goat, and also the future removal of sin (not just the guilt, but the sin itself) from the camp by the leading away of the scapegoat. Forgiveness, and then removal.

God's grace under the new covenant includes the blood atonement made on the cross of Calvary, the body and blood of Christ given to us as food and drink, the indwelling and anointing of the Holy Spirit, the conception and development of the incorruptible Seed in us in the born-again experience, the gifts and ministries given by the Spirit to the members of the Body of Christ, and the Word of God written by the Apostles of the Lamb. There is no question that the Divine grace provided under the new covenant furnishes sufficient authority and power to remove the presence of sin from the Church, leaving it without blemish of any kind whatever. God's grace is sufficient to perform what He has promised!

The new covenant by no means is limited to forgiveness.

For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people: (Hebrews 8:10)

Does the verse above indicate that God has forgotten His Torah, His eternal Law?

Is it not rather true that the new covenant is infinitely stricter in that it has moved the eternal law of God from tables of stone to the tables of the heart of man?

In the light of Hebrews 8:10, does it appear to you that the new covenant is primarily one of forgiveness?

Have we not been grievously deceived?

It is time to repent! We have been deceived by Satan. He has managed to destroy the Divine testimony in the "Christian" nations of today by perverting the teaching of the Apostle Paul concerning the role of the grace of God under the new covenant.

Precisely what is the Divine salvation (redemption)? What is the goal of salvation? The current model of redemption portrays the blood of Jesus as the means of keeping people out of Hell and admitting them to Heaven to live forever. While this is true in an elementary sense it is so simplistic as to be seriously misleading.

There is a real Hell. There is a real Lake of Fire. There is a real Heaven inhabited by God the Father, Jesus, the saints, and holy angels and creatures of whom we know little or nothing.

The purpose of the Christian redemption is not to make it possible for sinners to go to Paradise, to Heaven, in their sin. Sinners always are of Hell and will go to Hell when they die. The righteous always are of Heaven and will go to Heaven when they die.

To be continued.
