Untaught Scripture Truths for Disciples of Christ, Part 2
Untaught Scripture Truths for Disciples of Christ, Part 2
This is the second part of the series.
There are many scripture truths that you will not hear taught in most places. I am talking about things you must understand to be a real disciple of Jesus Christ. Which is saying that if you cannot understand the Lord Jesus Christ, who He really is, what His role is, what Athority He actually has, and what He really requires of His people, if you do not correctly and fully understand the scriptures about what He has done away with, the things in this world that He has changed and what He brought that was all NEW and different. That is why scripture requires those that would be His disciples to be filled with and controlled by the Holy Spirit, to become of one Spirit with God and have access to ALL truth from the only place (according to scripture) that All Truth can be found, the very Spirit of God Himself. This series will teach and explain some of these important scriptures.
Please Read this Before we Begin. Here we teach scriptural truths that are not taught most places. These are essential truths that you cannot be a real disciple of Christ without properly understanding.
Because of this fact you must follow the scripture “do not be deceived my beloved brethren” and see that YOU are not deceived. In order to not be deceived you must not believe what I or any other man wants to teach you unless and until it has been confirmed in scripture and by the Holy Spirit of God to you Personally as Truth. That is your responsibility no matter who is teaching you.
Now we must look to Jesus to continue our study. Who does He say is eligible to become a son of God in this age? What does He say They must do to become a son of God. These are the important questions, are we gentiles able in this age to go to God as it was before the age of Israel? Are there clergy as in the age of Israel? Do we have to go to where God is? Do we have to observe any holidays? Do we have to only eat certain food? ?? ?? ?? Lets see what Jesus says about those things.
According to Jesus Christ, the Lord and acting God of this age:
Who is eligible to become a son of God in this age?
For this answer we will need to look at what Jesus says. Nothing has been carried forward from previous ages, all things are new under the rulership of Christ.
Matt 28:16-20
16Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, to the mountain which Jesus had appointed for them. 17When they saw Him, they worshiped Him; but some doubted.
18And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19Go therefore*and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age."
First we see that He is talking to remaining original disciples. There are the men He has personally selected to spread HIS Gospel throughout the earth. These are true followers of Christ alone, there are no false doctrines found among them, they are the examples He has prepared to lead His church. This piece of scripture is the most important scripture to understand this age we live in and how to become a follower of Christ. It shows us who He authorized to build His church. This sets the stage for everything in this age.
Clearly he authorized His disciples to build His church. ONLY HIS Disciples were authorized to build it, NO ONE ELSE.
Then we see that they recognized Him and worshiped Him, no other man was given or received their adoration. That sets the stage for us, we are to follow NO OTHER MAN. They did not and we can not. For you that like to play word games and nit pick, yes Thomas doubted but later Thonas repented with the words My Lord and My God when he realized that it was truly Jesus, He did NOT say Jesus was God as many teach, He really understood who Jesus is, the Delegated authority of God and BY God for this age, until the judgment, when He will return to God, all of the authority that is His.
Then He gives them all the instructions they need to do the job they are called to do.
Go therefore*and make disciples of all the nations,
Do you see what this means? He has opened the door to God to ANY and EVERY one Jew and Gentile that will agree to do what He is about explain. No longer does your birth nationality determine whether or not you can be a child of God. A brand new and totally different way. And since it is not only jews that can inherit the earth and the eternal kingdom of God, there is no longer ANY need for the ten commandment and laws that were given ONLY to the Jews, temporarily, until Jesus came, they now must follow HIS instructions as they are no longer the only ones who can be of God and ALL must follow these instructions in this age..
Notice that they are to make disciples, and that the only people authorized to make disciples are DISCIPLES. NO ONE else is authorized to do this and only disciples can and are required to make disciples .
Here next is the only authorized (by God), way any man can become a son, the new way, by becoming of one Spirit with God as Jesus has done and will do for those that follow HIS RULES EXCLUSIVELY.
baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
Who is authorized to baptize the disciples you make? YOU ARE, there is no instruction to take them to any one or any where but to the closest water and baptize them, check it out in ACTS, it is true.
AND also notice that you MUST be baptized in the name of Jesus, which in this age includes God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit of God. Jesus is acting as God under the authority of God, and both He and God possess the same single Holy Spirit, so must ALL disciples, to belong to them, possess and allow the Holy Spirit of God to control them because all of the family of God MUST be of ONE SPIRIT, no divisions allowed in the one true church of God.. This requirement is based on scripture that says no one can understand scripture without the Holy Spirit to guide them to all truth.
teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you;
Teaching them to observe (follow, do) ALL things I have “enjoined” you to do. The word translated here in most bibles as commanded actually means enjoined, not commanded. Which includes His command, instructions, example and everything He does and does not do. So if you correctly understand this sentence, you MUST do ALL, not some , ALL of what Jesus taught, and gave example as well as ALL of His commands. This proves that the silly little follow after me prayer does not make anyone a follower of Christ, son of God. It is much more complex and if you study it out you will find in addition you must endure to the END in order to enter the eternal kingdom of God. The way the corrupt church system has changed and corrupted the way of salvation is leading millions to destruction and not to the kingdom of God as they claim. There is only one man that can write your name on the Lamb's (His) book of life. And only a real disciple of Christ can lead you to Him. Anyone trying to lead anywhere else, to any other man, or doctrine is a thief and a liar according to the scripture that warn is to not allow ourselves to be deceived. These few words are MOST important to becoming a disciple of Christ which is a son of God.
We will continue in part 3
