I Change Not

When Yehova revealed the truth of His Torah to me, it was an exciting time.  Scripture became absolutely fascinating!!
I was so excited to share with anyone and everyone…

I have learned that most people do not share my excitement.
I have learned that most people reject what scripture says in favor of what their church teaches them.
And why wouldn’t they?
Educated religious leaders have been teaching us a consistent message for generation upon generation.

Here is the problem, though…
Malachi 3:6 tells us one aspect of the nature of Yehova (God):

Do you understand the significance of this?
God does not change.
Not in ancient times.
Not now.
Not in the future.
The nature of God is unchanging.

We are told that Yeshua (Jesus) is the Word become flesh:
John 1:14
“And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us…”

And Hebrews 13:8 tells us this about Yeshua (Jesus):
“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.”

If Jesus is the Word, and Jesus is the same in the past, present, and future, then that means the Word is the same in the past, present, and future.

God never changes.
Jesus never changes.
The Word never changes.

So how is it possible that the church leaders teach that the Word has changed?
How is it possible that the church leaders teach that God has changed?

It is because they begin developing doctrine using the New Testament, while seeing the Old Testament as obsolete.

But that is not what scripture says. In fact, scripture tells us the exact opposite.

Before we do anything, we have to understand the very basic and simple concept that God does not change, Jesus does not change, and the Word does not change.

It is impossible to understand the writings of Paul without knowing this basic premise.

Why do I bring up the writings of Paul?
Because church leaders use the writings of Paul to teach a new doctrine, one that forces God to change, Jesus to change, and the word to change.

How can this be, when we know from scripture they do not change??
We are warned not to make this mistake:

2Peter 3:14-18

Therefore, beloved, looking forward to these things, be diligent to be found by Him in peace, without spot and blameless; 15 and consider that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation—as also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given to him, has written to you, 16 as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which untaught and unstable people twist to their own destruction, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures.
17 You therefore, beloved, since you know this beforehand, beware lest you also fall from your own steadfastness, being led away with the error of the wicked; 18 but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  To Him be the glory both now and forever. Amen.

This bit of scripture has some bite to it…
“…people twist to their own destruction, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures.”

Making this mistake is not something to brush off, and just say ‘oh well.’
Did you catch the part about “their own destruction”?
Let’s zero in just a bit more:  “DESTRUCTION”

Anytime scripture mentions our possible destruction, it is HIGHLY imperative that we evaluate and understand the warning.
Please evaluate the things that Yehova (God) said in the Torah (first five books of the bible).
He said some things are forever, never-ending, perpetual, and for all generations.

The mainstream church message tells us those things are:
NOT forever
NOT never-ending
NOT perpetual
NOT for all generations

Houston, we have a problem…
Actually, the problem is world wide, and it spans across many centuries, and has affected many millions of people.
Church leaders are teaching what they were told in seminary.
What they are saying makes Yehova (God) a liar and makes the Word a liar, which makes Yeshua (Jesus) a liar by association, since He is the Word become flesh.

Who will you believe?
Scripture?
OR
Your pastor?
