I MAKE MYSELF A TRANSGRESSOR. IF I BUILD AGAIN THE LAW OF MOSES WHICH IS KNOWN AS THE LAW OF SIN, AND DEATH. IF I BUILD BY PREACHING, AND TEACHING SUCH THINGS AS THE TITHING LAWS, THE LAWS PERTAINING TO THE SABBATH, AND THE DIETARY LAWS PERTAINING TO WHAT WE ARE TO EAT AS IF WE ARE UNDER THE LAW OF MOSES' I MAKE MYSELF A TRANSGRESSOR. FOR THOSE LAWS HAD TO BE KEPT TO THE LETTER. IF WE COULD HAVE BEEN MADE RIGHTEOUS BY THE LAW OF MOSES, THEN CHRIST IS DEAD IN VAIN. READING FROM THE BOOK OF,

Gal:2:17: But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid.

Gal:2:18: For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor.

Gal:2:19: For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God.

Gal:2:20: I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. Gal:2:21: I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain. (KJV)

HOLY CHILDREN, BEFORE I WAS BAPTIZED OUT OF THE WORLD, AND INTO THE BODY OF CHRIST. I WAS UNDER THE LAW OF MOSES, AND BY THAT LAW NO FLESH SHALL BE JUSTIFIED. BUT I WAS BAPTIZED OUT OF THE WORLD, AND INTO THE BODY OF CHRIST, AND RECEIVED THE WASHING OF REGENERATION, AND THE RENEWING OF THE HOLY GHOST. I AM NOW DIED TO SIN, FOR AS MANY OF US AS WERE BAPTIZED INTO CHRIST WERE BAPTIZED INTO HIS DEATH. WE AS CHILDREN OF GOD HAVE ALL SINNED, BUT WE ARE NOT TO CONTINUE IN SIN.

Rom:6:1: What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?

Rom:6:2: God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?

Rom:6:3: Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?

Rom:6:4: Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

Rom:6:5: For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:

Rom:6:6: Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.

Rom:6:7: For he that is dead is freed from sin.

BELOVED OF GOD, THE LAW OF MOSES' WAS OUR SCHOOLMASTER TO BRING US UNTO CHRIST. BUT SINCE RIGHTEOUSNESS HAS COME BY FAITH IN CHRIST, WE ARE NO LONGER UNDER THE SCHOOLMASTER, WE ARE NO LONGER UNDER THE LAW OF MOSES, WHICH IS KNOWN AS THE LAW OF SIN AND DEATH.

Gal:3:22: But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.

Gal:3:23: But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.

Gal:3:24: Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

Gal:3:25: But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.

Gal:3:26: For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.

Gal:3:27: For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.

SAINTS OF GOD, IN CHRIST JESUS, IN THE BODY OF CHRIST, IS A DIFFERENT SYSTEM OF LAW, WHICH IS KNOWN AS "THE LAW OF THE SPIRIT OF LIFE". THE LAW OF THE SPIRIT OF LIFE IN CHRIST JESUS, HAS MADE ME FREE FROM THE LAW OF SIN AND DEATH, HAS MADE ME FREE FROM THE LAW OF MOSES. FOR THE LAW OF MOSES HAD TO BE KEPT TO THE LETTER. THE ONLY PERSON ABLE TO KEEP THE LAW OF MOSES TO THE LETTER WAS JESUS CHRIST. LET ME GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT I BELIEVE THAT KEEPING THE LAW OF MOSES TO THE LETTER IS LIKE. GOD COMMANDED ISRAEL TO GIVE A TITHE. THE TITHE WAS A TAX, OF TEN PER CENT OF ONE'S INCREASE; WHETHER IT BE MONEY, FLOCK, OR PRODUCT. THIS TAX WAS PLACED UPON ISRAEL FOR THE SUPPORT OF THE LEVITICAL TRIBE. THE TAX HAD TO BE KEPT TO THE LETTER. IF A MAN WAS ONE PENNY SHORT, OR ONE GRAIN OF CORN SHORT, OR ONE SHEEP SHORT IN HIS TAX HE WENT UNDER THE CURSE, OR A SENTENCE OF CONDEMNATION. NO ONE IN ALL ISRAEL WAS ABLE TO KEEP THE TAX TO THE LETTER, AND THEY ALL WENT UNDER THE CURSE, OR TO PUT IT ANOTHER WAY, THEY ALL WENT UNDER THE SENTENCE OF CONDEMNATION.

Mal:3:8: Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.

Mal:3:9: Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation.

Mal:3:10: Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.

CHILDREN OF LIGHT, GOD IS A TREMENDOUS BOOKKEEPER. HE RECORDS OUR WORDS, HE COUNTS OUR STEPS, EVEN HAS THE HAIR ON OUR HEAD NUMBERED. IF A MAN PREACHES TITHING, IT IS MY BELIEF THAT A MAN CANNOT PREACH ONE WAY, AND LIVE ANOTHER. THEREFORE IF HE BUILDS AGAIN THE TITHING LAWS, HE WILL FIND THAT HE HAS MADE HIMSELF A TRANSGRESSOR.

Rom:2:17: Behold, thou art called a Jew, and restest in the law, and makest thy boast of God,

Rom:2:18: And knowest his will, and approvest the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law;

Rom:2:19: And art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them which are in darkness,

Rom:2:20: An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, which hast the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law.

Rom:2:21: Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal?

Rom:2:22: Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege?

Rom:2:23: Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law dishonourest thou God?

CHILDREN OF LIGHT, WE THE CHILDREN OF GOD, THAT ARE IN CHRIST JESUS ARE NOT UNDER THE TITHING LAWS. FOR THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS WERE UNTIL JOHN THE BAPTIST CAME PREACHING IN THE WILDERNESS. SINCE THAT TIME THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS PREACHED, AND MEN ARE PRESSED INTO IT.

Lk:16:16: The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it. (KJV)

HOLY CHILDREN, LET ME ALSO STATE THAT WE, AS CHILDREN OF GOD, ARE EXEMPT FROM THE TITHING TAX. BECAUSE, KINGS DO NOT TAX THEIR OWN CHILDREN, THEY TAX CHILDREN OF STRANGERS.

Mt:17:24: And when they were come to Capernaum, they that received tribute money came to Peter, and said, Doth not your master pay tribute?

Mt:17:25: He saith, Yes. And when he was come into the house, Jesus prevented him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? of whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? of their own children, or of strangers?

Mt:17:26: Peter saith unto him, Of strangers. Jesus saith unto him, Then are the children free.

Mt:17:27: Notwithstanding, lest we should offend them, go thou to the sea, and cast an hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a piece of money: that take, and give unto them for me and thee. BELOVED, THERE WERE IN THE DAYS OF THE APOSTLE PAUL, MEN THAT CAME OUT OF JERUSALEM SAYING THAT EXCEPT A MAN BE CIRCUMCISED, AND KEEP THE LAW OF MOSES' HE COULD NOT BE SAVED. PAUL AND BARNABAS CONFRONTED THESE MEN CONCERNING THIS HERESY, THEREFORE, PAUL, BARNABAS, AND CERTAIN OTHER MEN DECIDED TO GO UP TO JERUSALEM TO APOSTLES, AND ELDERS CONCERNING THIS MATTER.

Acts:15:1: And certain men which came down from Judaea taught the brethren, and said, Except ye be circumcised after the manner of Moses, ye cannot be saved.

Acts:15:2: When therefore Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and disputation with them, they determined that Paul and Barnabas, and certain other of them, should go up to Jerusalem unto the apostles and elders about this question.

CHRISTIAN BRETHREN, AN ECUMENICAL COUNCIL CAME TOGETHER TO DECIDE THIS MATTER. AND, THIS WAS THE FINDINGS OF THIS COUNCIL CONCERNING KEEPING THE LAW OF MOSES. SIMON PETER SAID THESE WORDS RECORDED IN,

Acts:15:7: And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and said unto them, Men and brethren, ye know how that a good while ago God made choice among us, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of the gospel, and believe.

Acts:15:8: And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us;

Acts:15:9: And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.

Acts:15:10: Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?

Acts:15:11: But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they.

SAINTS OF GOD, GOD INSPIRED JAMES TO DECLARE THIS DECISION CONCERNING THE MATTER OF CIRCUMCISION. IT IS NOT NECESSARY THAT WE AS CHRISTIANS BE CIRCUMCISED, AND KEEP THE LAW OF MOSES' FOR OUR SALVATION. BUT THAT WE ARE TO ABSTAIN FROM POLLUTION OF IDOLS, AND FROM FORNICATION, AND FROM EATING THINGS THAT ARE STRANGLED, AND FROM EATING BLOOD.

Acts:15:19: Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them, which from among the Gentiles are turned to God:

Acts:15:20: But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood.

HOLY CHILDREN, COME INTO THIS KNOWLEDGE IF A MAN, AFTER HE HAS BEEN BAPTIZED OUT OF THE WORLD, AND INTO THE BODY OF CHRIST, AND HAS RECEIVED THE WASHING OF REGENERATION, AND THE RENEWING OF THE HOLY GHOST, IF HE CIRCUMCISES HIMSELF WITH THE INTENT TO KEEP THE LAW OF MOSES' HE WILL FALL FROM GRACE, AND CHRIST WILL PROFIT HIM NOTHING.

Gal:5:1: Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.

Gal:5:2: Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.

Gal:5:3: For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.

Gal:5:4: Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.

Gal:5:5: For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.

Gal:5:6: For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.

SAINTS OF GOD, ARE WE TO HAVE OUR CHILDREN CIRCUMCISED? THE APOSTLE PAUL TAUGHT THAT MEN SHOULD NOT HAVE THEIR CHILDREN CIRCUMCISED. MEN ARE TO FORSAKE THE LAW OF MOSES' AND NOT CIRCUMCISE THEIR CHILDREN. THE DISCIPLES HAD HEARD OF THE TEACHING OF PAUL, THAT HE TAUGHT TO FORSAKE THE LAWS OF MOSES, AND NOT CIRCUMCISE THEIR CHILDREN.

Acts:21:21: And they are informed of thee, that thou teachest all the Jews which are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, saying that they ought not to circumcise their children, neither to walk after the customs.

BELOVED OF GOD, WHEN WE ARE BAPTISED INTO CHRIST, AND BECOME A MEMBER IN THE BODY OF CHRIST. SINCE JESUS CHRIST IS CIRCUMCISED WE, THE CHILDREN OF GOD, ARE CIRCUMCISED WITH A CIRCUMCISION NOT MAKE WITH HANDS.

Col:2:11: In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ: (KJV)

HOLY CHILDREN, THERE ARE IN THIS PRESENT WORLD, MULTITUDES OF MEN HAVING THEIR SONS CIRCUMCISED ACCORDING TO THE LAW OF MOSES. THINKING THEY ARE DOING GOD'S WILL. BUT IT IS THE WILL OF GOD, THAT WE AS CHRISTIANS NOT CIRCUMCISE OUR CHILDREN. IF MEN PREACH WRONGLY FROM THE OLD TESTAMENT, THEY WILL HAVE GOD'S CHILDREN KILLING THEIR ENEMIES, AS DAVID SLEW GOLIATH. THEY WILL HAVE GOD'S CHILDREN OFFERING UP SACRIFICES UNTO GOD, STONING STUBBORN CHILDREN, KILLING WITCHES, STONING PEOPLE THAT WORK ON THE SABBATH DAY, STONING PEOPLE THAT COMMIT ADULTERY. ALL THESE THINGS WE AS CHRISTIANS ARE NOT TO DO. THE SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST TEACH THAT GOD'S CHILDREN ARE TO ASSEMBLE ON SATURDAY, THE SABBATH DAY. IF A MAN BUILDS AGAIN THE SABBATH DAY LAW, AS IT WAS UNDER THE LAW OF MOSES' THE PENALTY WAS SEVER FOR TRANSGRESSION. A MAN ACCORDING TO THE LAW OF MOSES WAS NOT ALLOWED TO CARRY ANYTHING ON THE SABBATH DAY. A MAN GATHERED STICKS ON THE SABBATH, AND WAS STONED TO DEATH FOR THIS TRANSGRESSION OF THE LAW.

Nm:15:32: And while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man that gathered sticks upon the sabbath day.

Nm:15:33: And they that found him gathering sticks brought him unto Moses and Aaron, and unto all the congregation.

Nm:15:34: And they put him in ward, because it was not declared what should be done to him.

Nm:15:35: And the Lord said unto Moses, The man shall be surely put to death: all the congregation shall stone him with stones without the camp.

Nm:15:36: And all the congregation brought him without the camp, and stoned him with stones, and he died; as the Lord commanded Moses.

SAINTS OF GOD, TO CARRY ANY BURDEN ON THE SABBATH DAY, UNDER THE LAW OF MOSES IS THE DEATH PENALTY. CHRIST JESUS COMMANDED A MAN THAT HAD BEEN SICK FOR THIRTY EIGHT YEARS, TO TAKE UP HIS BED, AND WALK; AND IT WAS THE SABBATH DAY. FOR THIS DEED, THE JEWS SOUGHT TO KILL JESUS.

Jn:5:8: Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.

Jn:5:9: And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath.

BELOVED OF GOD, IF A MAN PREACHES THAT MEN SHOULD KEEP THE LAWS CONCERNING SABBATH DAY HE MAY BUILD AGAIN THAT WHICH WAS DESTROYED, AND FIND THAT HE IS A TRANSGRESSOR.
