Messiah 12th Command-Pray in This Way

Compelled By Love to Teach Torah

'

Please consider the following passage carefully:

2 Thessalonians 2:7-12

As it is Written:

For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work. Only he who now restrains it will do so until he is out of the way. 8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will kill with the breath of his mouth and bring to nothing by the appearance of his coming. 9 The coming of the lawless one is by the activity of Satan with all power and false signs and wonders, 10 and with all wicked deception for those who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 11 Therefore God sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe what is false, 12 in order that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

KEY ISSUES:

1. We know that scripture describes only three things to be truth:

YHWH'S Word is Truth (John 17:17).

YHWH'S LAW is Truth (Psalm 119:142; Psalm 119:151; Psalm 119:160).

YHWH'S Messiah is Truth (John 14:6).

2. We know according to 2 Thessalonians 2:7-12; that if people persist in rejecting the truth, that Yahweh Himself will send a strong spirit of delusion upon them. Yahweh Himself will turn them over to believing a LIE if they persist in rejecting the truth. Please look at the above passage again. Please consider this serious implications.

3. Since we know that the Torah is the truth: YHWH'S LAW is Truth (Psalm 119:142; Psalm 119:151; Psalm 119:160); the implication is staggering. Think about it. According to 2 Thessalonians 2:7-12; those who persist in rejecting the Torah are in danger of being turned over by YHWH to a spirit of delusion which will cause them to accept the Antichrist when he comes; because they rejected the truth, and took pleasure in unrighteousness; (which by biblical definition is breaking Torah; that is what unrighteousness means).

4. This is WHY I feel so earnestly COMPELLED to strongly invite as many people as I can to come into believing the WHOLE Testament of scripture including obeying Torah, wherever possible; because the alternative is dangerously tragic. I don't want people that I dearly love, to be turned over to a spirit of delusion where they will believe the lie, and accept the Antichrist, because they were wrongly taught to despise and reject the Torah of YHWH in the name of grace. The evidence is further compelling when one remembers the words of Messiah in Matthew 7:21-23; Matthew 13:41-42; Matthew 24:12-13.

My love and earnest concern for the brethren compels me to teach that we should practice keeping the Torah wherever possible, to prevent lawlessness, and the strong delusion and destruction that is to come.

The issue my dear friends is NOT that I have lost faith in the New Testament. The issue is that I BELIEVE the New Testament exceedingly well. Even according to Paul in The, "New Testament," rejecting the truth; (rejecting the written Torah), is ANYTHING BUT SAFE!

I believe that the words and the meaning of 2 Thessalonians 2:7-12 are TRUE. Will you as a Christian truly believe the words of the, "New Testament, or will you not?"

Let they who are wise and discerning understand and take heed of these words.

Shalom.

A Simple Request...

I have a simple heartfelt request for ALL Christians, and for ALL who claim saving faith in the Messiah. It's not hard. It's very simple and straightforward. IF you TRULY believe that Paul is a legitimate apostle of the Messiah, then I BEG you to please STOP making Paul into a LIAR. Please STOP preaching a lawless grace which is CONTRARY to what PAUL SAID that he believed and practiced himself, [Acts 24:14; Acts 25:7-10; Acts 28:17]. Thank you very much for your kind attention and consideration.

The Pauline Dilemma

By Brother R. Michel Lankford

Paul Teaching in the Synagogues

Whether modern Christians want to face up to it or not, 2 Timothy 3:16-17 creates a number of HUGE dilemmas for modern-day traditional Christianity.

ISSUE: You have to ask yourself if you REALLY BELIEVE the, "New Testament." 

FACT: Paul the apostle of Grace wrote these words more than 20 years AFTER the death and the resurrection of the Messiah. 

FACT: When Paul the apostle wrote these words, there was NO such thing as the, "New Testament.” We did not have a compiled New Testament until AFTER A.D. 300. 

FACT: That means that when Paul the apostle referred to, "The SCRIPTURES," Paul could ONLY be referring to the Old Testament; [Genesis through Malachi], because in Paul's day, that is all the SCRIPTURE that they had.

Now either Paul was telling the truth in 2 Timothy 3:16-17, or he was not. Either Paul was telling the truth when he said that ALL Scripture IS God-Breathed, or Paul was wrong. 

FACT: YHWH's Laws, Commandments, and the Instructions in the Torah, [Genesis through Deuteronomy]; it IS part of Scripture. Therefore, the Torah of YHWH, IS, STILL profitable for doctrine and teaching. The Torah of Yahweh is STILL profitable to reprove and to correct us. The Torah of Yahweh is STILL profitable to instruct us in righteousness before YHWH Almighty God.

FACT: IF you claim that the Torah of YHWH is no longer valid and no longer profitable to instruct us how to be righteous before YHWH Almighty God, then you are saying that Paul was WRONG in 2 Timothy 3:16-17.

IF on the other hand, Paul was RIGHT and he told the TRUTH in 2 Timothy 3:16-17, then the Torah IS STILL PROFITABLE to train me in Righteousness before YHWH, and the Torah COULD NOT have been abolished and done away with at the cross.

Something can either remain profitable to train me in righteousness, or something can be done away with, abolished, made null and void, and it becomes useless and unnecessary; but something cannot BOTH, be rendered meaningless and abolished, and still remain useful and profitable to train me in righteousness and equip me for every good work, at the same time. So which is it?

FACT: According to Paul, in 2 Timothy 3:16-17, ALL Scripture, [which INCLUDES Torah], IS still profitable for doctrine and teaching, for reproving and for correcting, and for instructing us on how to be righteous before YHWH Almighty God; and according to Paul himself, part of Torah’s PURPOSE is to CAUSE us to be perfected, and thoroughly equipped for every good work.

This again creates another serious dilemma for the modern Christian:

FACT: If you decide that no, the Torah was done away with and abolished at the cross, then once again you are saying the Paul was WRONG, and we don’t really need ALL of Scripture to make us complete and thoroughly equipped and thoroughly furnished to every good work. So if we don’t need the Torah to make us complete and to thoroughly equip us for every good work, then once again you are saying that Paul was WRONG in 2 Timothy 3:16-17.

That concept creates another huge dilemma in and of itself. If Paul was saying that the Torah was invalidated at the cross, then that would mean that Paul CONTRADICTED himself here in 2 Timothy 3:16-17. IF the Torah of YHWH was done away with at the cross, that means that Paul got THIS WRONG in 2 Timothy 3:16-17.

That idea begs another HUGE question. IF the Torah of YHWH has in fact been abolished at the cross, then it is no longer valid to instruct me on how to be righteous before YHWH. That would mean that the Torah can no longer perfect me or equip me for every good work, as Paul said that it could. So IF Paul was wrong in what he said about Torah in 2 Timothy 3:16-17; then WHAT ELSE did Paul get WRONG? If Paul is wrong about Torah in 2 Timothy 3:16-17, then WHERE ELSE did Paul miss the boat? If he missed once here, then he can miss again, right?

DILEMMA If Paul was WRONG in 2 Timothy 3:16-17, then Paul would also be a FALSE teacher by definition, and this would mean that NONE of those other Pauline doctrines which APPEAR to say that the Torah has been abolished could be valid or reliable either.

IF on the other hand, you decide that the apostle Paul was RIGHT and CORRECT in 2 Timothy 3:16-17, then the Torah of YHWH CANNOT be abolished at the cross, because according to Paul, we still NEED Torah to form good doctrine, to teach us, to correct and reprove us, to instruct us and how to be righteous before YHWH, and to perfect us, to complete us, and to make us thoroughly equipped for every good work.

FACT: If you AGREE with Paul in 2 Timothy 3:16-17, then Paul clearly said that believers CANNOT be THOROUGHLY EQUIPPED for every good work WITHOUT basing their doctrine on Torah, along with all the other Scriptures.

According to Paul, in 2 Timothy 3:16-17, we still need to base our doctrine and instructions on the Torah, and without it we CANNOT be thoroughly equipped for every good work. That creates a HUGE dilemma for modern Christian theology, whether they like it or not.

I believe that Paul was CORRECT and telling the TRUTH in 2 Timothy 3:16-17. I believe that the Torah of YHWH IS STILL PROFITABLE for all the functions that Paul describes, but that CLEARLY means that modern Christians have MISUNDERSTOOD and MISINTERPRETED Paul’s teachings when it APPEARS that Paul was teaching AGAINST the Torah of YHWH. Paul was NOT teaching AGAINST Torah, as it sometimes APPEARS that he was teaching, according to the traditional Christian; because that would FORCE too many other things that Paul said to become FALSE, IF the traditional understanding of Paul’s doctrines were in fact correct.

Shalom,

Brother R Michel Lankford.
