HOW TO TELL

How to tell an OT law church from a NT Grace church.

Right now I don’t personally know of even one NT grace church.  So how do we know?    That wounded head of law was healed.  Who healed it and brought it back up, after Jesus nailed it to his cross and took it out of the way?  CHURCH.   That is who healed it.  And today every single church that I know of today on this earth is either a heathen idle temple or an OT law church.  Those who are under the law are not cleansed from their sins because the Law Covenant was only with the blood of bulls and goats which Hebrews declares that it is not possible for the blood of animals to take away sins.

1. Adventist ….  They are not Christian because they go strictly by OT law.  Law and grace are opposites.  By Law one must be punished for their disobedience and sins.  There is no forgiveness or mercy under that law.  So those who choose to return or fall back to law, fall from grace and therefore will not be saved or redeemed.  

The adventist church worships idols.  That is one of the sure signs of being an OT law church.  Every church or person who still keeps the idol holidays are OT idol worshipers.   They do holidays or xmess, easter, halloween and others.  So they worship idols.  All who worship idols are not Christians but are antichrist. 

The adventist hold to the OT law that some animals are unclean and not fit to eat.  They think that eating animals is sin.  But what did Jesus say?  Nothing is unclean because Jesus cleansed it all at Calvary with his own blood.  

Mat. 15: ¹¹ Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.

¹⁷ Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?

¹⁸ But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man.

¹⁹ For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:

Romans 14: 14 Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations.

² For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs.

1Tim. 4: 4 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;

² Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;

³ Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.

⁴ For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:

⁵ For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.

The above verses prove that anyone or church that forbids to marry or to abstain from meats have doctrines of devils.  This includes the adventists, the catholics, who forbid their priests and nuns to marry.  

2 The Catholics also prove to be an OT law church by the fact that they hold to the old priest system that God did away with. 

Lamentations 2: ⁶ And he hath violently taken away his tabernacle, as if it were of a garden: he hath destroyed his places of the assembly: the Lord hath caused the solemn feasts and sabbaths to be forgotten in Zion, and hath despised in the indignation of his anger the king and the priest.

Here God shows that he had destroyed the buildings of assembly, their solemn feasts, [this includes all the OT law feasts and their SABBATHS;  He despised the king and the priest.  SEE?  God hated all of that OT system.  Isaiah 1 and 66 solidly prove this also.  So every church that still holds to sabbaths, idols, OT feasts etc.  and having to go to a set place is against the Grace NT system.  Therefore they fall back to the OT law system and it is death. 

V9: ⁹ Her gates are sunk into the ground; he hath destroyed and broken her bars: her king and her princes are among the Gentiles: the law is no more; her prophets also find no vision from the Lord.

The LAW IS NO MORE  her prophets are no more.  GOD destroyed that entire OT law system.  So every church that still teaches tithing, or any other part of that law is dead and lost.

On every count above the adventist and the catholic prove to be an OT law church and therefore are antichrist;  not Christian. 

3. The Mormons.  This group proves to be an OT law system due to all of the above and especially that they say men can have more than one wife.  How does this cross the teaching of Jesus? 

Mat. 19: ⁴ And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female,

⁵ And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?

⁶ Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

Jesus clearly taught that there should be just one man and one woman and they would be one flesh and that should not be put asunder.   So every one that permits a man to have more than one woman or wife are clearly defying the teaching of Jesus and have fallen back to OT law bondage.  

Also nothing this group teaches agrees with the word of God.

The Lutherans, the Episcopalians, the baptist, the methodist and all the others teach lies and no true doctrine.  They all worship the idols of the heathens, teach trinity, rapture, deny Jesus name baptism, thus denying his name, they deny the baptism of the Holy Ghost and the gifts of the Spirit therefore they are ALL OT LAW ABOMINATIONS.   They all deny everything that the only true NT grace church taught and did.  These are the ones in the Book of Acts. 

Every church that does not function as they did are OT law churches.  If they deny faith healing they are under law.  If they teach tithing and having to upkeep or pay a preacher to lord over the church, they are a false and OT law system.   Jesus said to his apostles, among you it will not be so that one rule over the other. 

Every church that teaches a difference in women and men Christians as to their work in Christ are OT law.

Paul said it was LAW THAT FORBIDS WOMEN TO TEACH OR SPEAK IN CHURCH.  So this alone proves that they are all OT law churches. 

Here is proof that in Christ or a NT grace church, men and women are the same:  Galatians 3: ²⁶ For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.

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

²⁸ There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

So everyone who denies women Christians the right to teach or preach or any other work for Christ is an OT law system and doomed.  Why doomed?

Galatians 3: ¹⁰ For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.

¹¹ But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.

¹² And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.

¹³ Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:

This clearly proves that the OT law is a curse and by it no one will be saved.  There are many many verses that prove this same thing;  so all OT law churches are doomed.   They all worship the same old idols that they worshiped on the other side of the flood and that is why God destroyed them with the flood. 

Everyone who still holds that the Jews are a special people to God are under that old law system.  Jesus brought salvation and oneness to the entire world.  Over and over Scripture says There is no difference;  we are all one.  So if you still think God is going to turn back to that old nation of Israel and especially those who hold the evil idea of a third temple and some old heifer sacrifice are clearly under that OT lie.  Jesus is the temple of God and we are his temple.

God destroyed that old world with the flood mainly due to their idol worship and do you think He is going to allow you to get by with your idols?  Not for one minute.  All holidays are idol worship and I simply do not know of one church that does not do it. 

Everyone who thinks we are still to have a one day a week sabbath are under the old law.  The Book of Acts clearly shows over and over that they did it DAILY.  We are to worship God every day and the baptism of the Holy  Ghost with the evidence of speaking in other tongues is clearly that Sabbath or rest to the soul.  Isa. 28.

This, then, these harlot OT law churches with their idols and lies are the evil Babylon system that God told us to COME OUT OF.  come out of her that you receive not of her plagues. 

Another way to tell if they are OT law churches is by the fact that they worship the false ‘Jesus’ that Paul said they would bring up.  Paul said they would bring up another Jesus and another gospel.  That is just what they did when they said that Mary had a baby god.  They all teach an incarnate god, yet not one single scripture names such a thing nor was it prophesied in the OT Scriptures.   Therefore all who teach this false doctrine are OT Law churches.  So in the end it proves out that every single church today is teaching a lying gospel and not going by the Word of God.  They all go by some man’s lies instead of God’s word, because they cannot prove one word that they say with written Scripture.   They all say you cannot be saved unless you believe that Jesus was or is God.  Yet not one scripture and not one person is all of Scripture said this. 

Some of them such as the methodists and catholics even deny baptism and just sprinkle a little water on folks.  No scripture teaches this.  Scripture clearly teaches that by water baptism do we have our sins remitted.
