I
ask that as we go through these lessons, that you read them, get your Bible,
pray, study, and ask the Holy Spirit of the Living God, to help you determine
if these teachings are True.
Statement; Jesus was teaching and continued to teach throughout his whole
ministry that his disciples, followers, Pharisees, and elders were to obey and
follow the Mosaic law.
No where prior to Chapter 9 of the
book of Acts before the conversion of the Apostle Paul, did the Lord Jesus, his
disciples, or any of his followers, ever tell anyone that they were not to
continue to do all things that were written in the Mosaic law!
I now believe if you have studied along with us from lesson 1 until now, that you should be able to see we have proved Jesus
continued teaching the people to follow the Mosaic Law beyond a shadow of a doubt,
but let’s continue to study, and see how the book of Acts plays out.
Comment; “I feel that there is something overlooked by
the Great Commission believers. Matt. 28:16 makes it clear that the LORD is only talking to the 11
Apostles. In verse 20 He tells them to
"observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you...." Then over in
Acts 1:1 and 2 it makes it clear that Jesus gave "commandments unto the
Apostles". Now I can't carry out the great commission if I don't know what
Jesus gave to the Apostles.”
The comment above is from a friend of mine in Tallahassee, Fl. who has
been following these lessons, and I felt the comment was worthy of being shared
with you all, and discussed in this study.
Acts.1 [1] The
former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all
that Jesus began both to do and teach, [2] Until the day in which he was taken
up, after that he through the Holy Ghost had given commandments unto the apostles
whom he had chosen: [3] To whom also he shewed himself
alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being
seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom
of God: [4] And, being
assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from
Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have
heard of me. [5] For John truly baptized
with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence. [6] When they therefore were come together,
they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this
time restore again the kingdom to Israel?
As my brother points out as we have now seen in the past lessons, that Jesus was giving directions/instructions to his 11 disciples of the things they were to do once he had returned to heaven.
Where else do we find any
instructions about what Jesus was teaching and doing while on planet Earth other than in the books of Matthew, Mark,
Luke, and John?
We see Jesus himself tell his 11 disciples in Luke 24 “[44] And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you,
while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the
psalms, concerning me.”
Notice Jesus says that Moses wrote of him, he says the prophets
wrote of him, he says the psalmist wrote of him, they all wrote things concerning him, the Lord Jesus!
That should make anyone reading this perk up and pay attention,
here is Jesus, a man in flesh and bones that had been killed, and now telling
his disciples all these things were written about him in the Old Testament
hundreds, and thousands of years, before he showed up in a body prepared to be sacrificed
for the sins of the world!
Acts.1 [1] The
former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all
that Jesus began both to do and teach, [2] Until the day in which he was taken
up
Now look at Acts 1:1 we see in
simple English that Luke tells Theophilus that in the former treatise (A treatise is a formal and systematic
written discourse on some subject) this would be the book of Luke, he states
that he covered the subject matter “of all that Jesus began both to do and teach, [2] Until the
day in which he was taken up”.
Luke here even tells us that all the
things that Jesus began both to do and teach was covered by him until Jesus was
taken up. So one has to come to the conclusion that the disciples instructions
and teachings are to be found in the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.
So what do we find Jesus doing and teaching
in these books, in the simplest terms we find Jesus fulfilling the law of Moses,
doing the law of Moses, and teaching the law of Moses!
So here is a hard saying for people to
accept, but I must say it, you can be using the red letter words of the Lord Jesus
to teach people, and be teaching false doctrine.
Example: Matthew 8 [4]
And Jesus saith unto him, See thou tell no man; but go thy way, shew thyself to
the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded,
for a testimony unto them.
If you as a Christian living today in the
year of our Lord 2015 are telling people to do like the Lord Jesus did in the above
passage to follow the Old Testament laws, you are teaching false doctrine, as
we are not under the law in the dispensation of the
grace of God, as given to the Apostle Paul.
Eph.3
[1] For this cause I Paul, the prisoner
of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles, [2] If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to youward:
Again and one more time, Jesus was
teaching the law, and that is what he commanded the
11 disciples to go and teach the world in the supposed Great Commission.
The law of Moses is not the message, or the Commission for the Body of Christ in the Year of Our Lord 2015!
Jesus gave a new
commission, and new message to the Apostle Paul, which we will prove
beyond a shadow of doubt in the continuing lessons.
The words of our Apostle Paul, the Apostle to
the Gentiles!
2Tim.2 [15] Study to shew thyself
approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing
the word of truth.
Remember most unsound Bible Doctrine, is sound
Bible Doctrine misapplied to the wrong time period, or
wrong group of people.
