“All law was fullfilled in Christ”? REALLY...



Achem's (Occam's) razor?
All law was fulfilled in Christ”?
From facebook comments


[Names have been changed to protect anonymity ]
‎"When YahShua said "what you eat, doesn't make you unclean", was this him changing the Kosher Law?"


“The Messiah turned water into wine. Why?? Was it as a gift? Possibly, but the reason is deeper. Kefa had a vision of a sheet being lowered from Heaven with unclean animals in it and was told to slaughter and eat. Does this mean all animals are clean now? When YahShua said "what you eat, doesn't make you unclean”, was this him changing the Kosher Law?”

    @Dale I too believed the same for years, until I searched the scriptures and found Yahshua and Jesus are NOT the same: Yahshua said..."Don't think that I have come to abolish the Torah or the Prophets. I have come not to abolish but to complete. 18 Yes indeed! I tell you that until heaven and earth pass away, not so much as a yud or a stroke will pass from the Torah -- not until everything that must happen has happened. 19 So whoever disobeys the least of these mitzvot and teaches others to do so will be called the least in the Kingdom of Heaven. But whoever obeys them and so teaches will be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven." Yahshua's words!

    "Biblical truth, Yahshua and Jesus are not the same people, Yahshua lived Torah and Jesus contradicted Moche and Torah in the Xtian Church" The Roman anti-semtic gov/church twist scripture to their own destruction. Search the roots of your faith in ALL the scripture and you'll see too...[we] have inherited lies and falsehoods. Shabbat Shalom

    sorry Yechezkel, but wrong....I'm not gonna get into a legalism discussion with you. Christ came and fulfilled all the O.T. law, there were way to many of them for anyone to safely say "they didn't commit sin"...Through Christ's sacrifice on the cross, all law was fulfilled, so that we, as Christians, have a simple way to God. Through the cross by Christ's shed blood..period. easy. not hard, not complicated, like man likes to always make things...otherwise, Jesus died for nothing...Would you rather try do obey ALL the law man's way, or believe that Christ came and died for your sins, and ALL the sins of mankind, past, present,    and future...in mathm, there's a principle, called Achem's (Occam's) razor, which states that the The simplest expression of scientific truth; where 2 theories exist to explain a similar phenomenon, the one making the fewest assumptions should prevail—i.e., it should be no more complicated than necessary...

    Fulfilled? Based on what. Is that found in the Book of Opinions?
    Well, why don't we see what He said, shall we?

    Think not that I have come to destroy the law and the Prophets. I have not come to destroy, but to fulfill. Matt 5:17

    Uhhh, the word "fulfill" was translated from the Greek word "Pleroo". The definition of pleroo is "to confirm something. Look it up.

    If you think he nailed the Torah to the cross, then you have to say that he contradicted Himself in the next two verses when He clearly said that not one jot or tittle shall pass from the law until the heavens and the earth pass away. And that whoever teaches to break even the least of the commands will be called the least.

    Clue: The heavens and the earth are still here.

    Okay, there's one opinion for Achem's Razor. Let's look at the scriptures for a second one before we choose, shall we?

    Let's see what ADONAI says. His opinion should probably count since He authored the Torah that Moses scribed.

    Deuteronomy 12:32
    What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it.

    Does HE mean what HE said?

    ...Deuteronomy 4:2
    Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of ADONAI your EL which I command you.

    HE said it again! Is HE serious? HE really just said not to diminish from HIS Commands? Hmmmm......

    Maybe HE will change HIS mind? Let's see......

    Malachi 3:6
    For I am ADONAI, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.

    Well, I guess HE means forever when HE says forever. I'm convinced!

    Well, we can't use Achem's Razor. We have 2 opinions from The Father and The Son, but they are of the same opinion. Let's find two more.....

    1 Peter 1:25 But the word of ADONAI endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.

    1 John 2

    3And hereby we do know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments.

    4He that saith, I know Him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in Him.

    That didn't work. Peter and John also agree. I guess maybe we should take their word for it? Four opinions from ADONAI, Messiah and two chief Apostles all say the same thing. The Torah stands.

    Proverbs 28:9 He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination.

    The message is consistent throughout the Tanakh, AND the Witness Writings (NT)......Keep HIS Commands. All it takes is humbleness to gain eyes to see.

    Proverbs 28:9 He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination.

    "Every (kol — the entire) Word (‘imrah — saying, communication, utterance, instruction, command, and promise) of God (‘elowah) is pure,    tested, and true (tsaraph — refined, precious, flawless, and worthy), a shield for (magen — an enclosure which surrounds, defends, and saves) those who put their trust in (chacah — those who take refuge in, who seek safety, salvation, protection, and rest through reliance upon) Him." (Proverbs 30:5)

    HE says: "Listen carefully to Me. Incline your ear and come to Me. Listen so that you may live, and so that I will be able to establish an everlasting Covenant Relationship with you."Yashayahu / Isaiah 55:3)

    " establish an everlasting Covenant Relationship with you".......everlasting means forever.

    If ignorance of ADONAI’s Way was acceptable, ADONAI would not have revealed: "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priests for Me; because you have forgotten the Torah of your EL, I also will forget your children." (Hosea 4:6)

    Deuteronomy 11:1
    Therefore thou shalt love ADONAI thy Elohim, and keep His charge, and His statutes, and His judgments, and His commandments, always.

    Matt 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to (Pleroo) CONFIRM.

    1 Peter 1:25 But the word of ADONAI endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.

    Isaiah 48:18
    O that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments! then had thy peace been as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea:

    Psalm 81:13
    Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, and Israel had walked in my ways!

    Psalm 78:7
    That they might set their hope in ADONAI, and not forget the works of ADONAI, but keep his commandments:

    Deuteronomy 11:1
    Therefore thou shalt love ADONAI thy Elohim, and keep His charge, and His statutes, and His judgments, and His commandments, always.

    Deuteronomy 5:33
    Ye shall walk in all the ways which ADONAI your Elohim hath commanded you, that ye may live, and that it may be well with you, and that ye may prolong your days in the land which ye shall possess.

    Deuteronomy 4:40
    Thou shalt keep therefore His statutes, and His commandments, which I command thee this day, that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee, and that thou mayest prolong thy days upon the earth, which ADONAI thy Elohim giveth thee, for ever.

    Deuteronomy 5:29
    O that there were such an heart in them, that they would fear me, and keep all my commandments ALWAYS, that it might be well with them, and with their children for ever!

    1 John 2

    3And hereby we do know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments.

    4He that saith, I know Him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in Him.

    Proverbs 28:9 He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination.

    Let's see......

    He gave us His word, so we have a measuring stick to gauge right from wrong, clean from unclean, what He wants from us, and what He considers an abomination.

    Messiah said:

    "And behold, I am coming quickly, and my reward is with me, to give to every one according to his work." Revelation 22:12

    What are these "works"? Oh, yeah, works of the "Law"!!!

    Hmmm, Messiah is going to judge our works??? But, if the law was nailed to the cross, He can't have a way to judge our works. Guess He was lying to us. No chance of that, is there?
  • Brother #1
    It is so obvious, yet most don't see it. NO OTHER group fits the description in the following verses....just christians.

    The verses say:
    22Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

    23And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me,    ye that work iniquity.

    First, we should notice that He doesn't refute their claims. Why? They told the truth. They did all of things in the name of "lord jesus christ." Now consider this:

    Will the Jews claim they did good things in His name? NO!
    Nor do they call Him Lord.

    Will the muslims claim they did good things in His name? NO!
    They don't call Him Lord, either.

    Hindus? NO!
    Buddhists? NO!
    Atheists? NO!
    In fact, there is ONLY ONE SINGLE GROUP on the planet that can make that claim. They call Him Lord, and prophesy, and cast out demons, and do works IN HIS NAME.
    IT'S THE CHRISTIANS!!!!

    This is a clear warning to the christians. HE said He will send them away for their "anomia" (negation of the law) [Torah].

    Sadly, they have been so indoctrinated (deceived) into believing they are "In like Flynn" for simply believing, that they seemingly don't bother    to read what He is warning them of here. Either that, or they just plain don't have eyes to see.

    If you take Paulos' confusion out of the equation, anyone that actually studies the Scriptures can easily see the theme mentioned HUNDREDS OF TIMES in both the Tanakh, and the NT....KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS AND HAVE RIGHT TO THE TREE OF LIFE. REJECT THE TRUTH, AND HEAR THE WORDS "DEPART FROM ME".

    Sadly, the masses of christians accept the work done on the Upright Pole, yet they categorically reject the teachings of the Upright One, which was Torah. HE said that man would not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth from the mouth of the Father. He told us to keep the Father's Commands. The fourth Commandment was the only one that ADONAI specifically told us to remember, and they reject it! He said it would be a sign between HIM and us for ALL GENERATIONS. That means forever! It's the mark that shows we are HIS Family. Here's more proof of it:

    "Children from foreign nations who form a relationship with ADONAI, serving Him and loving Yahuwah’s personal and proper name , who carefully observe and revere the Sabbath and do not treat it with contempt , those who are passionate about and are empowered by My Familial Covenant Relationship , these I will bring to My set-apart mountain , rejoicing in My home and tabernacle of prayer . Their offerings will rise up and be accepted, because My household shall be called a house of intercession for all people" (Yashayahu / Isaiah 56:6-7)

    It is heartbreaking to witness the needless destruction.

    Hosea 4:6
    My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law (Torah) of thy EL, I will also forget thy children.

    Proverbs 28:9 He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be an abomination.

    Come out of her my people, lest ye suffer her plagues.

    Do you believe the prophets? They said the Feasts, Passover, sukkot, etc, will still be practiced in the millennial Kingdom. Wow! So let me get this straight, everything was practiced before the Messiah. The Messiah spent His entire life, and career teaching Torah because He was going to nail it to the cross? Then we get a break in that action between the crucifixion and His second coming, but then go back to keeping the Torah once He returns? Brilliant!
    How about some verses that say it was nailed to the cross? And some verses that say "don't keep my Fathers feasts or Sabbaths anymore?

    Clue: They don't exist.

    Jeremiah 16:19
    O ADONAI, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction, the Gentiles shall come unto thee from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit.

    It is conditional. It's an IF-Then contract.

    John 8:31-32 (King James Version)

    31Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him,[ If ] ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;

    32And (THEN) ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

    Here's why I bothered:

    Ezekiel 3:17-21 (King James Version)

    17Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me.

    18When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.

    19Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.

    20Again, When a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumbling-block before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thine hand.

    21Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous man, that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned; also thou hast delivered thy soul.

    Matthew 4:4
    But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of ADONAI.

    Last time I checked, the Torah and the prophets are words that proceeded out of the mouth of ADONAI.

    Maybe Matthew recorded it all wrong? Maybe Dale can show us the verse that quotes the Messiah saying "It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of ADONAI, except for the entire Torah, that is. It's all dead now, except for 9 out of the 10 Commandments. The rest is trash, and I wasted my whole life and my whole ministry teaching this stuff."
    "Oh, and by the way, don't pay any attention to Revelation, cause I'm gonna lie and say that everyone will be judged by the Word. Just ignore all of that nonsense, okay?"

    Show me those verses, Dale. Thanks!
  • Brother #2 It's as though men corrupted the very letters that they used in order to invent a new religion based on the "life and times of the Messiah " !!~
  • Brother #1 The oldest copies we have were pretty much all written after the apostles were dead, so they are all scribed by other people which signed the apostles names to them. I'm not saying they weren't mostly accurate copies of something older that didn't survive, but Look at 2 Peter. I mean, he spelled his own name wrong in the first verse. Of course he got it right later in the letter, but gee whiz, isn't that a red flag of sorts?
  • Brother #2 It was Marcion that had his prolific copy editors flood the market with Paul's letters just before he decided what would go into his new book and thus be the foundation for his new religion .

    "If a prophet or someone who gets messages while dreaming arises among you and he gives you a sign or wonder, 2 and the sign or wonder comes about as he predicted when he said, 'Let's follow other gods, which you have not known; and let us serve them,' 3 you are not to listen to what that prophet or dreamer says. For ADONAI your God is testing you, in order to find out whether you really do love ADONAI your God with all your heart and being. 4 You are to follow ADONAI your God, fear him, obey his mitzvot, listen to what he says, serve him and cling to him; 5 and that prophet or dreamer is to be put to death; because he urged rebellion against ADONAI your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt and redeemed you from a life of slavery; in order to seduce you away from the path ADONAI your God ordered you to follow.

The Cult of Sol Invictus

The Cult of Sol Invictus

by D.J. Love, Minister, TSN, SBC

(Upgraded 3-4-2002)



"The Roman Empire began their official recognition of sun worship during the time of Aurelian when he instituted the cult of "Sol Invictus". There is virtually no difference between the cult of Sol Invictus and that of Mithraism or for that matter catholicism.

In the year 307 A.D. Emperor Diocletian, a Sun Worshipper, was involved in the dedication of a temple to Mithra, and was responsible for the burning of Holy Scripture (which made it possible for later emperors to formulate Christianity, and thus began the Roman version of the "Universal Christo-pagan Mystery Religion.") After the rein of Diocletian, the Roman Emperor Constantine, who was an early Christo-pagan (Christian) maintained the title "Pontifus Maximus" the high priest of paganism, and remained a worshipper of Apollo. His coins were inscribed: "SOL INVICTO COMITI", which is interpreted as "Committed to the Invincible Sun". During his reign pagan Sun worship was blended with the worship of the True Creator (syncretism), and officially titled "Christianity" by the (less than holy) Roman Empire and its' official church the (less than holy) catholic (universal) church.

Cybele, the Phrygian goddess, known to her followers as "the mother of god", was closely related to the worship of Mithra. Just as Mithraism was a man's religion, the worship of Cybele was practiced by women. The priests of Mithra were known as "Fathers" and the Priestesses of Cybele as "Mothers". After baptism into the Mysteries of Mithra, the initiate was marked on the forehead. The sign of the cross formed by the elliptic and the celestial equator was one of the signs of Mithra. Sunday (Deis Solis), the day of the Sun, was considered by Mithraist a sacred day of rest. December 25th (the birthday of Mithra) was celebrated as the birth of the Sun, given birth by the "Queen of Heaven" - "Mother of god." The Mithraists celebrated a mithraic love feast. This feast consisted of loaves of bread decorated with crosses with wine, over which the priest pronounced a mystic formula. Mithra was considered mediator between god and man (does this sound like Jesus?).


Note: In 46 BC, when the Roman "Julian Calendar" was adopted, December 24th was the shortest day of the year. Therefore, December 25th was the first annual day that daylight began to increase. Thus, the origin of the REBIRTH or Annual Birthday of the Invincible SUN.

In accordance with the Roman "Julian calendar," the "Saturnalia" festival appears to have taken place on or about December 17th; it was preceded by the "Consualia" near December 15th, and followed by the "Opalia" on December 19th. These pagan celebrations typically lasted for at least a week, ending just before the late Roman Imperial Festival for "Sol Invictus" (Invincible Sun) on December 25th.

In 1582 AD. Roman Catholic Pope Gregory the XIII caused the current "Gregorian Calendar" to be adopted, in order to eliminate the solar time shift error introduced by the "Julian Calendar."

By December 1582 AD the shortest day of the year had shifted 12 days on the Roman "Julian Calendar" to Wednesday, December 12, 1582.

However, the Original December 25th 'Birth Date' was retained for all pagan Sun gods by the Roman "Saturnalia" and "Sol Invictus" traditions; which were now called the "Twelve Days Christ Mass."

On the new Roman Catholic Gregorian calendar the shortest annual day was numerically shifted back 10 days to the 22nd of December, where it remains to this day; while the original order of the days of the week remained unchanged.

Therefore, Wednesday, December 12th, 1582 AD, became Wednesday, December 22nd, 1582 AD, and the True Sabbath Day remained unchanged.


Mithraists, also, believed in eternal life in heaven, and in the torture of the wicked after death. Many of these beliefs and rituals were exclusive to Mithraism and up until the fourth century were not an official part of the Christo-pagan faith. In the 4th century, through confusion and deliberate manipulation by the Roman Empire and its' official universal (catholic) church, rituals of "Sun Worship" were legitimized, under the guise of the "Authority of the Church" (Yahweh Never Granted Any Such Authority) to be "Christian" in nature. There is no Biblical support for the inclusion of Mithraic rituals (pagan Worship) into the worship of the Yahweh of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the Creator of heaven and earth, and the Only Duty of the True Church is one of Obedience To The Authority of Yahweh. It is a Satanic scheme of deception to disguise the transgression of Yahweh's laws under the title of "Christianity" (Christo-pagan syncretism). This same system, characterized by the shrouding of truth in secrecy and the manipulation of the truth in order to achieve its ends, has been working for two millennia to perfect the Christo-pagan religion of Christianity. The mystery of iniquity is at work and it only takes a little leaven to leaven the whole lump. The next step is the actual forced taking of the "Mark of the Beast," however, millions have already taken the "Mark of the Beast" voluntarily."

FROM YOU ARE MY WITNESSES (Is. 43:10) THE TRADITIONAL JEWISH RESPONSE TO CHRISTIAN MISSIONARIES by Yisroel C. Blumenthal

The authors of the Christian scriptures describe the
development of the early church in the following manner.
Jesus was a Jewish man, who lived in the land of Israel. When
he was about thirty years old, he began to travel throughout the
country. For about three years, Jesus traveled and taught. By
the time Jesus died, he had created a small following. All of
his followers were Jews. Prominent among Jesus’s followers
were his twelve disciples. These disciples formed a
community with its center in Jerusalem. The community of
Jesus’s followers was lead by James, a brother of Jesus. This
community is referred to as the “Jerusalem Church”. In the
years following Jesus’s death, the Jerusalem Church grew in
size. At one point, the authors of Christian scriptures claim
that they numbered several thousand. But the members of this
church were all Jews.

Christianity reached the non-Jewish world through the
person of Paul. Paul traveled the length and breadth of the
Mediterranean, teaching the gentile world about Jesus. Paul
founded many churches throughout the Roman Empire. The
churches which Paul established were predominantly gentile.
The Christian scriptures end their narrative at this point.
They leave the reader at the historical point where there are
two churches; the Jewish church of James, and the gentile
church of Paul.

History tells us that the Jewish church of James did not
survive as a separate entity. By the time Christianity became
the established religion of the Roman Empire, there were
almost no Jewish Christians left. The few Jewish Christians
which still existed, were persecuted as heretics by the gentile
church. All of Christianity as it exists today, was transmitted
through the body of the gentile church. The books of Christian
scripture were products of the gentile church. They may have
included in these books, material which came from the Jewish
Christians. But the gentile church was the editor of this
material. It was the gentile church who determined the
contents of the Christian scriptures, and who transmitted these
texts to the future generations.

In order to be convinced that the gentile church is truly
transmitting the original message of Jesus, one must determine
that Paul’s teachings conformed with the teachings of Jesus.
The gentile church only learned of Jesus through the teachings
of Paul. If Paul’s teachings were not synonymous with the
teachings of Jesus, then the gentile church does not possess the
original message of Jesus.
To determine Paul’s connection to Jesus, we will turn to the
books of Christian scripture. It is clear that the editors of these
books were strongly motivated to present Paul as one who is
faithfully transmitting the original message of Jesus. Yet even
these biased writers, were not able to do so.

The Christian scriptures describe the basis of Paul’s mission
in the following manner. Paul never saw Jesus in real life.
Neither did Paul learn of Jesus’s teachings through the
disciples of Jesus. Paul emphatically states (in the 1st and 2nd
chapters of Galatians) that no living person was involved in
transmitting Jesus’s message to him. Paul only learned of the
teachings of Jesus through a series of visions. In these visions,
Jesus appeared to him and imparted his teachings. Paul’s
entire message was the product of these visions.

The only way we can verify the truth of Paul’s claim, is by
determining the reaction of Jesus’s disciples to Paul’s
message. These men who lived with Jesus and heard him
teach, could compare the teachings that they heard, to the
prophecy of Paul. How did the Jewish following of James
react to Paul’s claim to prophecy?

Paul makes the claim (Galatians 2:9) that the leaders of the
Jerusalem Church acknowledged the fact that he was
appointed (by the dead Jesus) as a messenger to the gentiles.
But Paul was lying. James and the Jerusalem Church never
acknowledged the validity of Paul’s visions. It is the Christian
scriptures themselves who contradict Paul’s claim.

The 15th chapter of the book of Acts, describes how the
leadership of the Jerusalem Church disregarded Paul’s claim
to prophecy. Paul had come to Jerusalem. He had been
preaching to the gentiles that they are not required to practice
the law of Moses. Some members of the Jerusalem Church
disagreed with Paul. They felt that in order for a gentile to join
their following, he should be required to observe the law of
Moses. This question was brought before the leadership of the
Jerusalem Church. The elders of the church discussed the
question, and James handed down his decision. His judgment
was that the gentiles were not obligated to observe the entirety
of the law of Moses as a prerequisite to joining the Christian
community. But he stipulated that the gentiles were obligated
to observe certain dietary laws, and to avoid immorality.

If Paul was telling us the truth when he claimed that the
leadership of the Jerusalem Church acknowledged him as a
true prophet, then this story makes no sense. Here we have
Paul, who was personally appointed by the dead Jesus as his
emissary to the gentile world. Whatever Paul taught was
personally revealed to him in these prophetic visions. One of
the central teachings of Paul was that the gentile world is not
bound by the law of Moses. Yet when the leaders of the
Jerusalem Church are in doubt as to what Jesus would have
said concerning the gentiles, they discuss the question, and
look to James for guidance. If there was any truth to Paul’s
claim, that these leaders acknowledged the truth of his
prophecy, then they should have simply asked him “what did
Jesus tell you?” The fact that they considered the question, and
the method that they used to resolve the question, clearly tells
us that these men did not believe that Jesus had ever spoken to
Paul. The author of the book of Acts, his bias
notwithstanding, could not hide this simple fact.

The difference between the gentile church founded by Paul,
and the Jerusalem Church founded by Jesus, was not limited to
the question of the authenticity of Paul’s prophecy. These two
institutions espoused two totally different philosophies. The
central teaching of Pauline Christianity is, that faith in the
redeeming sacrifice of Jesus, is the only valid method through
which atonement for sin can be achieved. The entire
philosophy of Paul, revolves around this one teaching.
Evangelical Christianity is founded upon this basic teaching of
Paul. If you were to ask an Evangelical Christian to sum up his
belief system in one sentence, he would respond with this
point. That faith in Jesus is the only redemption from sin. In
fact the entire concept of the messiah-ship of Jesus is basically
limited to this one point. Jesus is the messiah of Evangelical
Christians, only because they believe that his death provided
atonement for sin.
But the Jerusalem Church which was established by Jesus,
and which was guided by his disciples, did not believe in this
teaching of Paul. They did not believe that faith in Jesus could
effectively atone for their sins. This is demonstrated by the
testimony of the Christian scriptures. The 21st chapter in the
book of Acts reports that the normal activities of the members
of the Jerusalem Church included the offering of animals for
the explicit purpose of the expiation of sin. The book of Acts
describes how four members of the Jerusalem Church had
taken a Nazirite vow. This means that they had voluntarily
brought themselves into a situation where they would be
required (by the law of Moses) to bring an animal as a sin
offering. It is clear that these people saw in the temple
offerings a valid method for the expiation of sin. If they
believed as Paul did, that Jesus died for their sins once and for
all, then there would be no point in bringing a sin offering in
the temple. The fact that the Jerusalem Church still
participated in the temple offerings after Jesus had died, tells
us that they did not see in Jesus’s death an all atoning
sacrifice. These people were not Evangelical Christians.

The Christian scriptures provides both the theological and
the historical justification to the accusation that Christianity
has failed in the transmission of its own message. The
Christian scriptures tell us that the disciples of Jesus never
believed the fundamental teaching of Evangelical Christianity.

These people who lived with Jesus and heard him preach did
not believe, that with the death of Jesus, the world is redeemed
of its sins. The Christian scriptures also tell us, at which
historical point the break in the transmission occurred. These
books tell us that Paul, the father of modern Christianity, had
no connection to Jesus. Christianity is an edifice erected upon
the testimony of one man. All of Christianity stands upon
Paul’s word that Jesus appeared to him. The only people that
were qualified to verify Paul’s claim, contradicted him to his
face. This emerges from the pages of the very books which
Christianity regards as true witnesses to its claims.
