Untaught Scripture Truths for Disciples of Christ, Part 4

Untaught Scripture Truths for Disciples of Christ, Part 4

This is the Fourth 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 Authority 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. You cannot be a real disciple of Christ. 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 continue to look to Jesus and scripture to continue our study. Do we have to go to where God is to meet with Him? Do we have to observe any holidays? Do we have to only eat certain food? ?? ?? ?? Lets see what Jesus says about these things. Lets see what Jesus and scripture say about these things.

Matt 28:18-20

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."

We will begin where we left off in part 4, He is the door and only those that come through the door and meet ALL HIS requirements can become and are God's people. There is no distinction between jews and gentiles in this age.

Do we still have to go somewhere to meet with God, is there a building in this age called “church” ?

Here is what scripture has to say about that.

1 Peter 2:4-6

⁴Coming to Him as to a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God and precious, ⁵you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. ⁶Therefore it is also contained in the Scripture,

We see from this scripture and there are others, That Jesus house is a Spiritual house, built of living stones (people), Unlike the previous age where God required that only one man could meet with Him and they had to come to the place (tabernacle) where God was. Remember when Jesus gave up His Spirit on the cross, the veil of the most Holy place, where God met with the High Priest on the day of Atonement, was supernaturally torn from top to bottom. This was confirmation that Jesus has brought a totally new and different way of interacting with God. The veil was no longer needed because God no longer was in the box, this was a sign that man would no longer have to go to a particular place to meet with God and that no other man but He would ever again be needed as intercessor, Jesus was now in charge on this earth until the end. . So we see from scripture that in this new age that God's people, the disciples of Christ, would be a “Spiritual church” and not a physical building made by the hands of carnal man.

Then we need to remember that to be a real disciple of Christ requires that you MUST be filled with and following the Holy Spirit of God, which is the very Spirit of God himself. Meaning that you take God with you wherever you go. So it is not necessary to go anywhere to met Him, because wherever you go He is there with you.

In this age of the rulership of Christ, there is no separate class called clergy and there is no need for and there are no buildings called “churches” (tabernacle). It is a “SPIRITUAL house” that Jesus builds. And they can meet with God at any time and any place.

The word in scripture that describes the meeting of the disciples of Christ is mis-translated as “church” in most bibles, it actually means members, people, LIVING STONES,, not a building.

NT:1577

NT:1577 e)kklhsi/a ekklesia (ek-klay-see'-ah); from a compound of NT:1537 and a derivative of NT:2564; a calling out, i.e. (concretely) a popular meeting, especially a religious congregation (Jewish synagogue, or Christian community of members on earth or saints in heaven or both):

Jews had to go to the synagogue to where God was in their age to meet Him. In this Spiritual age of the rule of Christ, God lives IN us and goes with us wherever we are,

In this age do we have to observe any Holidays?

In the previous age God gave complete details for their Holidays, celebration, etc, so lets see what Jesus Requires as holiday, celebrations etc for His disciples. We find that Jesus gave us one thing that we were to do to celebrate Him and His sacrifice on our behalf.

Luke 22:19-22

¹⁹And He took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, "This is My body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of Me."

²⁰Likewise He also took the cup after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is shed for you.

Jesus tells us how we are to celebrate Him and what He did for us. We are to have a meal together and as we eat we are to take the two symbols for His blood and His flesh and offer them as we eat them to show we are one with him, accepting His blood and flesh that paid for us to be able to regain the eternal life Adam gave up by his disobedience and that our allegiance to Him alone.

Notice these points.

1. No place in scripture tells the date of His birth.

2. No place in scripture are we told to celebrate His birth

3. No place in scripture are we told to celebrate (honor) the evil cross that He died on

4. No place in scripture are we told to celebrate His resurrection

Scripture includes every move that the people of God were to observe in great detail in the previous age. Would God give us any less through is son? No, God is a God of detail and He never changes.

Yet those that professes to be of God today, the church system of man, that makes christians, have in their Godless system re-invented saturnalia and estre. Two of the most evil holidays of the pagans and attach them to Jesus Christ the Lord of all. These thing should not be and God will NOT HONOR these things and they that celebrate them. Works of man are not and cannot be attributed to God.

Jesus is clear. He is the acting God in this age and HE says His disciples are to remember (honor) HIM in one way and ONLY one way. Remember His disciples are to do ALL HE requires of them. Nowhere in scripture are we told to celebrate Him in a manner determined by apostate man that do not have the Holy Spirit of the God of creation.

So, where is the clergy in this age?

There is no clergy class of man in this age, this is the age of Christ and His disciples, all man are equal in this age, no man is over another man, there are no rulers. The only head of any man is the man Jesus Christ. Any other man that claims to be a shepherd (pastor) in this age is a thief and liar and is usurping the place ot the Lord Jesus Christ, the only man that can save you.

There is a people that are to go and do the ministering . The real disciples of Christ. Each and every one of them, they are the only ministry authorized by the Lord of this age, the man Jesus Christ. They are the real disciples of Christ, those that follow Him alone, DO ALL HE REQUIRES OF THEM AND ENDURE TO THE END.

They are the ones whose names will be found at the judgment seat, written in the Lamb's book of Life. They will hear “welcome true and faithful son” enter into the eternal kingdom of God. ALL others will hear “who are you, I never knew you cast him into the lake of fire for destruction”..

These the real disciples of Christ, those that follow Him alone by the Spirit of God, doing All He requires of them are the mature ones that God is looking for and trusts. If we cannot understand the Spiritual concept of the true church of Christ how can we expect to inherit and live in a strictly Spirit kingdom?

We find them in 1 Peter 2:9-10 But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; ¹⁰who once were not a people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy.

We must always remember that Jesus says we must become as little children to understand and inherit the things of God. He said that His Father sent us the Holy Spirit to teach and lead us, never in the new covenant are we told to follow any other man, Jesus is the ONLY man that can write our names in His book of Life, only He is the door to God and the eternal kingdom of God..

Matt 18:2-4

²Then Jesus called a little child to Him, set him in the midst of them, ³and said, "Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.

Nowhere in the new covenant do we find; that we need a man to teach us, do we find theologians, bible colleges or any other means of learning about and following God through Christ than the man Jesus Christ. There is no other way in this age than the infilling of the Holy Spirit of God that Jesus gives to those that become HIS real disciples, following Him and doing all He requires of them. Yes there are servant man that help the saints to learn how to know and follow Jesus and the Holy Spirit. But these men lead you to Jesus Christ, not to man or the church system of man and they require NOTHING from you but that you love and follow the one perfect man Jesus Christ.

Yes man and their church system have their doctrines that give you an easy, wide Gate and an easy comfortable path to follow but Jesus has a narrow, difficult to find, Gate and a difficult narrow path, that must be the one we follow if we hope to inherit the eternal Spiritual kingdom of God. Jesus and His disciples have made it clear that there are and will always be carnal apostate man that peddle (yes peddle, there is NO exchange of money in the Spiritual Church of Christ) an easy comfortable way to follow their jesus. We also warned US many times in scripture to”do not be Deceived”.

The real Jesus NEVER promised an easy Way, He says His way IS Difficult, that the world (those that do not submit to God) will hate you. Remember He also said that even family members may come against you. He said that the only family He (and we should) recognize is the brothers (male and female) that are disciples of Christ because that is the only eternal family there is. He also said few will find His way. Yet the apostate church system has billions of followers, contrary to the words of the man JESUS CHRIST, the Lord of this age.

Have you ever compared your personal doctrines with those of the man Jesus Christ? Are you willing to trust your eternal life on what you believe to be correct? Did you learn from the real Holy Spirit or from the teachings of apostate man? I urge you to take the time to double check your beliefs with the Holy Spirit of God and be sure you are following the real Jesus Christ and are filled with AND following the REAL Holy Spirit of the God of Creation. There are MANY false jesus and false holy spirits in the world today. Please DO NOT BE DECEIVED MY BELOVED BRETHREN. God desires that all come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ, even though He knows many will be too lazy or too trusting in fellow man to follow His warnings to not allow yourself to be deceived.
