The Gentiles undermined the importance of God's Law in the minds of many, just as they did with Christ's incredible teachings and his Law, which will now be reflected in the corresponding light.
The Gospel of Uncircumcision is essential as it is a vital foundation for the Gentiles. Paul diligently recorded many of its teachings, which show its importance. Unfortunately, this effort resulted in significant opposition to the divine instructions that Christ himself initially spoke and preached.
In this article, we will examine the teachings of Paul and Jesus Christ to elucidate the concept of true holiness. By examining scriptural texts, we seek to uncover the foundational principles and insights that highlight their significance in a spiritual context.
Here, we will first reveal Christ's teaching and the Law of Christ. Then, we will continue to show how the Gentiles rebelled against God's words, which the faithful saints had spoken and written.
When Christ Jesus rose from the dead, He decisively instructed all twelve apostles to follow these essential commandments.
Matthew 28 :
20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.
Even before that, at the height of the ministry of this Spirit of God who was with Jesus, the following is clearly written:
Matthew 4 :
23 And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the Gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people.
Matthew 9 :
35 And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the kingdom's Gospel, and healing every sickness and disease.
Matthew 24 :
14 And this Gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
However, as Matthew 4:23, 9:35, and 24:14 show, Paul interpreted Christ's clear messages differently. It's interesting how perspectives can vary!
2Corrinthins 5 :
16 Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more.
In 2 Corinthians 5:16, it is asserted that the Gentiles no longer relate to Jesus based on his earthly existence but rather recognize him through a spiritual perspective. This shift indicates that the direct teachings and commands of Jesus Christ, as revealed during his time on Earth, have transformed Paul's distorted understanding. This interpretation presents a vision of a 'fictional' Jesus, one based on unrealistic spiritual principles rather than the historical accounts of the truly holy one of God.
This shift emphasizes a disturbing perspective on faith, moving from a physical representation of Jesus to a deceptive spiritual knowledge that profoundly influences the beliefs and actions of innocent followers.
Paul firmly believes that the teachings and Law of Christ, passionately conveyed by Christ Jesus himself, are fundamentally lacking in value. He advocates for their rejection and insists they should be cast aside and allowed to fade into oblivion, as they no longer hold relevance or purpose.
As Paul instructed, he referred to the Hebrews, and this is now emphasized to them and to all Gentiles.
Hebrew 6 :
1 Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God,
Hebrew 6 :
2 Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of the resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.
In 2 Corinthians 5:16 and Hebrews 6:1-2, Paul's teachings serve as a sufficient testimony for our less knowledgeable brothers. Despite this, they unthinkingly and deafly followed his apparent lies.
Here is his opposing and rebellious interpretation of the Law of God.
Hebrew 7 :
18 For there is certainly a disannulling of the command more for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof.
19 For the Law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God.
Romans 4 :
15 Because the law worketh wrath: where no law is, there is no transgression.
Through his conflicting teachings, Paul openly challenged the Law of God. He directly undermined Christ's teachings and the Law that Christ passionately conveyed to the entire house of Israel during His earthly ministry.
Consequently, the laws of God, along with the teachings and commandments of Christ, have been rendered meaningless in the eyes of the world due to Paul's misleading doctrines.
Regarding the Law, Christ emphatically asserted the following statement.
Matthew 5 :
17 Think not that I am come to destroy the Law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
Matthew 5 :
18 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.
John 12 :
50 And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.
When considering Christ's teachings and the Law of Christ, the following verses clarify that the truth spoken and fervently preached by Christ is authentic.
Matthew 28 :
20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.
Jesus passionately urged his followers to embrace the Law of Christ, a robust framework of over 100 commandments that guide us toward righteous living.
Matthew 24 :
14 And this Gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
Likewise, the mandate is to preach the Gospel of the Kingdom (Gospel of Christ) worldwide. Still, Paul preached deceptive teaching to numerous audiences, deviating from the core teachings intended to be spread.
The epistles attributed to Paul, often called the Gospel of Paul or the Gospel of Uncircumcision, advocate for the nullification of God's Law and explicitly reject Christ's teachings and the Law of Christ. This perspective is absent in Christ's teachings or the Gospel of the Kingdom.
Jesus, in his physical form, instructed his followers to spread the Gospel of the Kingdom, also known as the Teaching of Christ and the Law of Christ. This message is to be shared with all nations so that everyone on Earth can become a disciple of God.
On the contrary, Paul firmly asserted that Jesus explicitly ordered him in a vision to preach the GOSPEL OF UNCIRCUMCISION to all nations.
When discussing this controversial topic, it becomes clear that the teachings of the historical Jesus—an actual figure who lived on Earth—are far more earthly and truthful than those attributed to the imaginary Jesus of Paul, which are based merely on fragments of his subjective interpretations. Jesus, as a human being, consistently upheld the laws of God and taught many people to obey these laws sincerely.
In contrast, Paul's imaginary Jesus, portrayed as aligned with the Spirit, does not uphold the significance and benefits of obeying God's Law. Paul's portrayal of this imaginary Jesus diverges from the historical Jesus, who disagreed with Paul's teachings.
The New Testament clearly presents two figures named Jesus. The first is the historical Jesus, based on testimonies from actual witnesses and their eyewitness accounts. The second is the IMAGINARY Jesus, who exists only in Paul's imagination.
The Spirit of God undoubtedly resided within and guided the entire being of the historical Jesus of Nazareth during his lifetime. Therefore, the words spoken by Jesus Christ—whether through his physical presence or as the Spirit—cannot be inconsistent or conflicting. This is a fact that none of us can deny.
In other words, if we agree that the Spirit of Jesus Christ communicated with Paul during his journey near Damascus, then there can never be a contradiction in what was stated, regardless of whether it was spoken through Jesus Christ or Paul's physical body. This is because only the Holy Spirit speaks and acts in bodily form or the spiritual realm.
As what is clearly written,
John 14 :
10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.
It is essential to recognize the significance of John 14:10, where Christ Jesus emphasizes the importance of true holiness. His words are not merely his own; they reflect the Spirit of God, who was actively and powerfully living and reigning within him then. Therefore, we should not underestimate the teachings of the historical Jesus, as they carry great weight and deep meaning. They are the words of the Spirit of God, who resided entirely within the historical Jesus during that period.
It would be a grave mistake for anyone to make the following statement.
Hebrew 6 :
1 Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God,
2 Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.
2Corrinthians 5 :
16 Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more.
There is a clear and significant distinction between the authentic Jesus Christ (historical Jesus) and the erroneous interpretations of the imaginary Jesus of Paul. Recognizing this difference is a concrete foundation for understanding the truth.
We must remain unwavering in our commitment to the Gospel of the Kingdom, which embodies the faithful Christ. Through this Gospel, we attain true salvation, receive forgiveness for our sins, and secure the promise of eternal life.
Therefore, it is essential to reject Paul's teachings, as they can cause confusion and emotional distress. Accepting such doctrines endangers the deep well-being of the soul and may ultimately lead to its ruin.
No matter how many lies attempt to conceal it, the truth will ultimately emerge as sacred wisdom. This will foster a more profound understanding inspired by genuine holiness. Consequently, the truth will be spoken and revealed to anyone who diligently seeks true godliness.
If you endorse Paul's teachings that contradict God's Law and the teachings of Christ, we want to be very clear: you are not following the truth of God. The beliefs you firmly hold are fundamentally flawed and have guided you into extreme darkness, which serves as a hiding place for distorted and concealed falsehoods. This path distances you from the light of proper understanding and righteousness.
On the other hand, if your teachings align with a strong commitment to God's Law and exemplify Christ's teachings' greatness and perfection, we wholeheartedly congratulate you. You are integral to a genuine and legitimate community of God's faithful followers.
Let all receive abundant blessings from the one God of heaven and Earth, who embodies Truth, Light, Love, Strength, Labor, Wisdom, and Life.
This embodies the profound teachings of Christ.
Until we meet again, take care.
