Subject: What is iniquity in Matthew 7:23? |
Bible Note: Taleb, “The Old Testament says they must. The New says it’s up to them. Whoops.” So the OT is valid when it fits your theology but “passed away” when it doesn’t? Malachi 3:6 “For I am the LORD, I CHANGE NOT; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.” VALID OR PASSED AWAY? Numbers 23:19 “God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?” MAYBE HE CHANGED HIS MIND? Hebrews 13:8 “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.” EXCEPT WHEN IT COMES TO THE OLD TESTAMENT? Isaiah 8:20 “To the law and to the testimony: IF THEY SPEAK NOT ACCORDING TO THIS WORD, it is because there is NO LIGHT in them.” THIS IS WHY YESHUA AND PAUL, PETER, ETC. CONSTANTLY MAKE REFERENCE TO THE OLD TESTAMENT SCRIPTURES!!! WHICH OT SCRIPTURES PROPHESY YHWH CHANGING HIS MIND OR REPEALING HIS TORAH? NONE, if you believe He did it is because there is "no light" in you---those are not my words. No wonder there are 22,000 denominations, every “church” is picking and choosing what makes sense to them. That’s called “leaning on your own understanding” (Proverbs 3:5) or “walking in the imagination of your own heart” (Jeremiah 16:12). Which is exactly what xmas is. Here are some of the verses that tell you not to do as the “heathens” do: Romans 12:2 "And BE NOT CONFORMED TO THIS WORLD: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, WILL OF GOD." Jeremiah 10:2 "Thus saith the LORD, LEARN NOT THE WAY OF THE HEATHEN, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them." Jeremiah 10:3 "For THE CUSTOMS OF THE PEOPLE ARE VAIN: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe." 2 Kings 17:15 "And they rejected HIS statutes, and HIS covenant that he made with their fathers, and HIS testimonies which he testified against them; and THEY FOLLOWED VANITY, and became vain, and went after the heathen that were round about them, concerning whom the LORD had charged them, that THEY SHOULD NOT DO LIKE THEM." 2 Chronicles 36:14 "Moreover all the chief of the priests, and the people, TRANSGRESSED VERY MUCH AFTER ALL THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE HEATHEN; and POLLUTED THE HOUSE OF YHWH which he had hallowed in Jerusalem." Ezekiel 11:12 "And ye shall know that I am the LORD: for ye have not walked in my statutes, neither executed my judgments, but have done after the manners of the heathen that are round about you." Ezekiel 23:30 "I will do these things unto thee, because thou hast gone a whoring after the heathen, and Because thou art polluted with their idols." I know, but the church is special, none of this applies to them because they believe just as the demons do, etc... Isaiah 40:7-8 “…surely THE PEOPLE IS GRASS. The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but THE WORD OF YHWH SHALL STAND FOREVER.” In other words, dictionary definitions, meanings, customs, phrases and whatever else man comes up with will change BUT HE DOES NOT. If He hated it 4,000 years ago He hates it now. As Oprah would say “Denial, is not a river in Africa.” Peace, Greg Boone |
