Try the Spirits

 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but TRY THE SPIRITS WHETHER THEY ARE OF GOD: because MANY FALSE PROPHETS are gone out into the world” 1 John 4:1.

“Seeing then that WE HAVE SUCH HOPE, we use great plainness of speech” 2 Cor 3:12.

“Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but OUR SUFFICIENCY IS OF GOD; Who also hath made us able MINISTERS OF THE NEW TESTAMENT; not of the letter, but OF THE SPIRIT: for the letter killeth, but THE SPIRIT GIVETH LIFE” 2 Cor 3:5-6.

“OUR SUFFICIENCY IS OF GOD”, GOD IS LOVE 1 John 4:8. Without the love of God living through us we are NOTHING.

“And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I AM NOTHING” 1 Cor 13:2.

“But THEIR MINDS WERE BLINDED: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away IN THE READING OF THE OLD TESTAMENT; WHICH VAIL IS DONE AWAY IN CHRIST. But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart. Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away. Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty” 2 Cor 3:14-17.

1.     So, what blinds their minds when reading the Old Testament?  

One of the laws of Moses of the Old Testament.

“And the man that committeth adultery with another man's wife, even he that committeth adultery with his neighbour's wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death” Leviticus 20:10.

And now the New Testament.

“And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst, They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act. Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou? John 8:3-5.

I find it very interesting that the scribes and Pharisees brought only the woman caught in the very act to be stoned before Jesus, do you? Remember: We wrestle not against flesh and blood Eph 6:12. The devil hates woman most Gen 3:15.

Here is what a minister of the New Testament full of the Spirit of God says.

“She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more” John 8:11.

Therefore, what would a minister of the New Testament full of the Spirit of God say about the other verses in Leviticus chapter 20?

The same thing, “Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more”.

The New Testament teaches a better way Heb 8:10-13.

“By so much was Jesus made a surety of A BETTER TESTAMENT” Heb 7:22.

“Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men. And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come” Matthew 12:31-32.

2.     What is the vail of Moses that is now done away in Christ?

“Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil” Hebrews 2:14.

The laws of Moses of the Old Testament were over the people because the devil had the power of death.

Christ overcame the temptations of the devil Matt 4, and thereby destroyed the power of death that the devil had during the times of the Old Testament

“I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death” Revelation 1:18.

Christ now has the keys of hell and death, therefore...

The second death goes into the lake of fire with the devil and his angels who have deceived the whole world Rev 12:9, Matt 25:41.

“And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death” Revelation 20:14.

“And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it” Isaiah 28:18.

There is no second death, thanks to our new High Priest aka our Savior Jesus Christ!

“Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish” Matthew 18:14.

“For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother” Matthew 12:50.

By the WILL OF ALMIGHTY GOD not one mortal will eternally perish!

Except ONE!

“While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and NONE OF THEM IS LOST, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled” John 17:12.

The son of perdition is the beast of the soon coming tribulation Rev 13.

This blog is the true Gospel of Jesus Christ Matt 10:38, Mark 8:34, Luke 9:23, Mark 10:29-30 who is the savior of ALL MANKIND Matt 22:29-30.

“For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it” Mark 8:35.

The KJV Bible is God’s Bible Dan 2:21. It must be studied God’s way “OUT OF CONTEXT” – WITH HIS HOLY SPIRIT! Isa 28:9-10.
