Should Christians and Heathens Think the SAME Way?

Are Christians out of their  Minds?!

By Brother Michel Lankford


As it is written: 

For those who are according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who are according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. For the mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace, because the mind set on the flesh is hostile toward God; for it does not subject itself to the law of God, for it is not even able to do so, and those who are in the flesh cannot please God.” (Romans 8:5–8, NASB95)



It is a common belief within modern Christian circles that Paul the apostle SUPPOSEDLY taught that Christians should no longer subject themselves to the Law of God.

The BIG PROBLEM is that even Paul the apostle taught that it is the CARNAL MIND that DOES NOT subject itself to the Law of God. (Which means by contrast, that a mind that is truly controlled by the Holy Spirit SHOULD in fact subject itself to the Law of God; cf. Ezekiel 36:25-27; Philippians 2:13).

Paul also taught that the CARNAL mindset was hostile against God. This mindset could not please God, and this mindset leads to DEATH, and NOT LIFE.

Paul wrote this to a mixed congregation of Hebrew born and Gentile born believers in Messiah who were in Rome.

Paul wrote this more than 20 years AFTER Messiah's death and resurrection.

The modern Christian doctrine has at least TWO HUGE problems when compared against Romans 8:5-8:

First, IF Paul was truly teaching that Christians should NOT subject themselves to God's Law, then by HIS OWN WORDS, he would also be teaching Christians to be carnal minded. Hewould be teaching Christians to be hostile AGAINST God. He would be teaching Christians NOT to PLEASE God. And, he would be teaching Christians to operate in a mindset which PAUL himself declared; it leads to DEATH and NOT life. That is a huge dilemma for the Christian, which they would prefer to ignore.

The second problem is that the modern Christian doctrine has created an IMPOSSIBLE dynamic. Think about it. According to Paul's own words in Romans 8:5-8, the person controlled by their sinful nature or the carnal mind does not, and CANNOT subject themselves to the Law of God. They are not able to do so. So the unregenerate carnalminded sinner does not and cannot subject himself to theLaw of God.

Now according to the modern Christian doctrine the born-again Christian SUPPOSEDLY must not subject himself to the Law of God; supposedly because that's what it means to be under grace.

What most modern Christians fail to realize is that this creates a dynamic where the unregenerate carnal minded heathen, AND the born-again Christian end up operating in the exact SAME mindset, (IF their doctrine were correct). Think about it. The unregenerate carnal minded heathen does not subject himself to the Law of God because he cannot do so. The modern born-again Christian does not submit to the Law of God because he has been trained to believe that under grace, he must not do so.

IF the modern Christian doctrine were correct, that would mean that the unregenerate carnal minded heathen, and the born-again Christian would end up operating in the EXACT SAME mindset. Neither one submits to God's Law. Neither one obeys God's instructions. Both ignore what God has said. The modern Christian doctrine has created a dynamic where there is virtually NO REAL DIFFERENCE between the mindset of a carnal minded heathen, and the mindset of the born-again Christian. Both endup disregarding God's Instructions equally. The carnal minded person ignores God's instructions, because he can't subject himself to God's Law. The modern Christian ignores God's instructions, because he has been trained to believe that this is what it means to be under grace. So essentially there is no difference between the way a carnal minded sinner thinks, and the way a modern Christian thinks. Both IGNORE God's Instructions. Does anyone else notice  a GLARING problem here?

The Increase of LAWLESSNESS is Very Real

A couple of weeks ago, I was on Facebook, and I saw this abomination, being presented in the name of the Gospel:






Here is my Biblical Response

Brother Michel Lankford



The insatiable thirst to rationalize and justify LAWLESSNESS, (even against the clear teaching of the New Testament), is noticeably increasing. DO NOT BE DECEIVED
The Message in this video is such a wicked FALSEHOOD, one does not even need to be an expert in the NEW TESTAMENT, to KNOW that he is lying:

First he talks about having victory OVER sin, and then claims that we should not have any relationship with God's Law whatsoever. What he, "Conveniently," fails to mention is that breaking God's Commandments IS the Biblical definition of sin, EVEN in the NEW TESTAMENT:

As it is written:

Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. (1 John 3:4-KJV) 


Everyone who practices sin also practices lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness.” (1 John 3:4, NASB95)


Decades after Messiah died and rose again, Christians were being taught that breaking God's Laws Commandments and Instructions IS the BIBLICAL DEFINITION of what SIN IS.

So, if you compare what this preacher just said, with the biblical NEW TESTAMENT definition of SIN, this preacher ACTUALLY CLAIMED that the way to have victory over sin, was to COMMIT MORE SIN! That is BEYOND obscene! The only way one can agree with what he is saying, is to IGNORE the New Testament.


IF what that 'Shepherd' said was true, Then WHY does the apostle Paul, (the apostle of grace, mind you), CLEARLY teach, that immorality, idolatry, adultery, sorcery, impurity and a slew of other lawless lifestyle choices, WILL NOT inherit the Kingdom of God?! (Galatians 5:19-21; 1 Corinthians 6:9-10).

Paul said that these things produce the WRATH of God, (Romans 1:18-32; Ephesians 2:1-2; Ephesians 5:5-6).

Paul wrote all of these things more than 20 years after the death and the resurrection of the Messiah; well AFTER the cross.

Were these vile, sinful lawless lifestyle choices, were they somehow acceptable for 20 years between the time that Messiah died on the tree, until Paul wrote his letters?

Did these things BECOME sin, ONLY because Paul wrote about these things 20 years later in the New Testament?!

Or were these vile things already sin, before Paul ever wrote about these things, because the Almighty Creator had already said they were wicked?!

ALL of the things Paul said would be CONDEMNED were ALREADY written about in Torah.

This guy is showing his UNBELIEVABLE IGNORANCE; and the sad part is that uninformed people will believe him, because it feels good, and he sounds so completely self-assured.

May YHWH deliver US from all evil . Deliver us from the Curse of Lawlessness - Deut.27:26; Matthew 5:17-20; Matthew 7:21-23; Matthew 13:41-42).


This Preacher preached AGAINST the very teachings of Paul the Apostle in the New Testament. But that was not enough for this guy.

In his zeal to get rid of the very Commandments of Almighty God, he preached NOT ONLY AGAINST PAUL, but he also preached AGAINST the very words and teachings of the MESSIAH HIMSELF:


In defending this video, one viewer said:

"Who has to be right?... JESUS CHRIST!"

It may surprise you, but on this single point, I agreed with the viewer. It's absolutely true, that the only one who has to be proved right is the Messiah, that's true. The sad reality though, is that anyone who agrees with this preacher in this video, either does not know, does not believe, or he does not agree with the teachings of the Messiah, himself. 

As it is written: 

“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. “Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’ “And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.’” (Matthew 7:21–23, NASB95)

As it is written: 

“The Son of Man will send forth His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all stumbling blocks, and those who commit lawlessness, and will throw them into the furnace of fire; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” (Matthew 13:41–42, NASB95)

As it is written: 


“Because lawlessness is increased, most people’s love will grow cold. “But the one who endures to the end, he will be saved.” (Matthew 24:12–13, NASB95)

 So then, EXACTLY WHERE did MESSIAH  SAY that those who practice Lawlessness, those who stumble into Lawlessness, and those who CAUSE others to stumble into Lawlessness will be going?

Messiah CLEARLY SAID that those who commit lawlessness, those who stumble into lawlessness, and those who cause others to stumble into lawlessness, will be thrown OUT of the Kingdom and cast into the place of weeping and gnashing of teeth: (that AIN'T Heaven).

That should be enough for any Christian, to thoroughly disregard this "preacher's," opinion. But if that's not enough, Messiah also said:

“He who rejects Me and does not receive My sayings, has one who judges him; the word I spoke is what will judge him at the last day. “For I did not speak on My own initiative, but the Father Himself who sent Me has given Me a commandment as to what to say and what to speak. “I know that His commandment is eternal life; therefore the things I speak, I speak just as the Father has told Me.”” (John 12:48–50, NASB95)

As it is written: 

And He said to him, “Why are you asking Me about what is good? There is only One who is good; but if you wish to enter into life, keep the commandments.”” (Matthew 19:17, NASB95)


As I said, when this preacher preached as he did, he was preaching against the very words of Messiah.  When this "Preacher" is preaching AGAINST the Commandments of Almighty God, he is ALSO preaching AGAINST Eternal Life, as JESUS CHRIST has already defined the term

The man was preaching AGAINST the very definition of Eternal Life, as Messiah defines the term, and he either didn't realize it, or he did not care! Only the Almighty knows his motives for certain, but his words were certainly contrary to what Messiah CLEARLY SAID. Of that there can be no doubt.



 I AGREE, the ONLY ONE who MUST BE right is JESUS CHRIST, and JESUS CHRIST has already spoken very CLEARLY in FAVOR of KEEPING the Father's Commandments. 

The question before every Christian in this generation is, will be truly allow Jesus to be Lord and Master? Will we define our terms as JESUS has already defined the them? Or will we foolishly reject the sayings of JESUS CHRIST, in favor of keeping the traditions and doctrines which HUMAN BEINGS have invented, all because we have accepted some TWISTED definition of GRACE which isn't even biblical, and which Paul himself DID NOT preach? That's what's really going on here. IF Jesus is NOT our Lord, then He is NOT our Savior either.

As it is written: 

After He was perfected, He became the source of eternal salvation for all who OBEY Him,” (Hebrews 5:9, HCSB)

As it is written: 

“He who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who does not obey the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.”” (John 3:36, NASB95)


Please I BEG you, I PLEAD with you as one whom I love and do NOT want to see deceived, consider these passages. Take them to heart and do NOT neglect them. Thank you. If you look carefully through your New Testament, EVEN PAUL, solemnly warned AGAINST LAWLESSNESS, just as JESUS CHRIST had done when he was here. 


Just because obeying the Law is NOT the CAUSE of salvation, that DOES NOT mean that we should continue to be Lawless after we are saved through Christ.-(See Romans 6:19; Romans 8:5-8; 2 Corinthians 6:14-7:1). 

Please think about it. 

Thank you.

Paul and Mosaic Law



A Short Survey of the NEW TESTAMENT that CLEARLY Shows that Paul the Apostle both TAUGHT and PREACHED KEEPING the WRITTEN Torah of YHWH

Whom Should True Christians Obey?

This is WHY I have taken some of the strong religious stands that 
I have taken.

The Roman Catholic Church ADMITS it;
that it was THEY and NOT God who changed the Sabbath:

Jesus the Christ CLEARLY taught that
 if we DISOBEY the Commandments of Almighty God. 
but we keep commandments and traditions given by MEN, 
then the worship that we offer to God is IN VAIN, 
(Matthew 15:1-9; Mark 7:1-13). 

The RCC. Openly ADMITS that THEY and NOT God, 
imposed a " New Sabbath," and so 
they are leading the entire "Christian" world
to worship IN VAIN, and instead of being ashamed 
of themselves, they are arrogant and PROUD of their SIN,
and leading the world astray. 

True BIBLICAL Christians should KEEP and honor 
the BIBLICAL Sabbaths and Devoutly REJECT 
ALL Roman Catholic Traditions imposed 
by Roman emperors and popes. 
We should OBEY God and NOT man, (Acts 5:29). 
We should earnestly seek to worship God in spirit and in truth, 
(John 4:23-24), and devoutly REJECT VAIN worship.
Whom do you REALLY serve as your Lord and Master? 
Are you obeying God or man?
