- If you're receiving this transmission, you are the resistance.
Declaring war on the New World Order.
truth radio show dot com shalom and welcome to the damp and dandy show on truth radio show dot com and welcome to the book of romans our in-depth comprehensive study We are now on to Chapter 9.
So, guys, this is such an amazing study in the Book of Romans here.
Awesome, awesome stuff.
So before we get going any further, guys, I suggest if you have missed Chapters 1 through 8, go watch them in the playlist before you go any further.
This way it makes sense to you we're in Chapter 9.
So we do a specific Bible study approach.
Number one, very important.
The most important thing is to pray for wisdom and understanding.
So let's do that right now.
So join me in prayer.
Yes, you Messiah, Jesus, we come before you.
Thank you so much for everything.
Thank you for the salvation.
Thank you for everything you do for us.
Thank you for advocating for us before the Father.
And we confess our sins individually, all the sins that we individually committed today.
Any transgressions, abominations, or anything that we've done wrong, Lord, we ask you for forgiveness.
And we pray to you, Heavenly Father, that you could install the Holy Spirit upon us to give us divine wisdom and understanding.
And help write your word upon our hearts today, in this case, the book of Romans, chapter 9.
And give us discernment, give us the spirit of just courage and strength and power in your mighty name.
And protect us all from the forces of evil.
And Lord, we love you so much, in your mighty name, Amen.
And we also, guys, read the scripture in context.
Very important to understand scripture in context, because context is key.
So let the scripture interpret itself.
Let the Holy Spirit work through you.
If you don't understand it, just keep reading.
Let the Holy Spirit give you the answer.
Don't lean on your own interpretations.
I used to have a problem doing that.
Now I just rely on what the scriptures have to say, or what the Holy Spirit reveals to us.
And that's how we study the Bible.
Best way to do it.
You can't beat it.
Better than any church, any ministry, any... anything.
You know what I mean?
Any seminary, school, college, university, whatever the case, all combined.
The Holy Spirit's the best.
Plain and simple.
So, if you've got a Bible, open it up.
We use the King James on this show here.
If you've got a Romans chapter 9, please open it up.
So, this is Paul, again, Letter to the Romans.
And the last several chapters we read in Romans, they've been powerful.
Once you begin to understand Paul, You begin to understand, like, the wisdom and knowledge that Jesus Christ himself installed upon Paul.
That's why Paul was chosen by Jesus himself.
He was handpicked by Jesus.
He used to be a mighty adversary against the apostles, right?
Now he became the most important, I'm sorry, the most powerful, effective apostle there is.
So, Paul says, I say to the truth in Christ, I write him out.
My conscience also bear me witness in the Holy Spirit.
So he's using the Holy Spirit, the Holy Ghost, right?
That's what we should be doing all the time.
Anytime we preach the Word of God and all that, we should rely on the Holy Spirit.
Don't premeditate what you're going to say.
This is mentioned in the description as well.
Don't premeditate what you're going to say.
Let the Holy Spirit speak to you.
That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart.
For I could wish that myself for a curse from Christ for my brethren, but my kinsmen according to the flesh.
So as you can see, like, Paul himself also struggled in the flesh.
We all do.
Right?
That's why we need to rely on the Holy Spirit, because our hearts deceive us all the time, guys.
You understand that?
When you could be the most fatal person in the world, you're still, your heart's still gonna deceive you.
No matter what.
That's why we continually need to rely on the Holy Spirit to work through us.
So, the last couple chapters we talked about adoption, right?
Which is the adoption that we are grafted into God's Israel, right?
of the law and the service of God in the promises.
So the last couple of chapters we talked about the adoption, right?
Which is the adoption that we are grafted into God's Israel, right?
We are become God's children.
Yes, we're all God's creation, save or not, we're all God's creation.
But to be considered his children, you need to be a believer in Jesus Christ.
Paul mentioned that in the last couple of chapters.
We're adopted.
Plain and simple.
And he says, in the glory of the covenants, so he's talking about the Old Covenant, New Covenant, right?
In the giving of the law, in the service of God, in the promises.
Whose are the fathers of whom is concerning the flesh Christ came?
Who is over all?
God bless forever.
Amen.
So who are the fathers of whom as concerning the flesh of Jesus Christ came, right?
Not as though the word of God has taken on effect for they are not all Israel which are Israel.
And he's saying, not as though the Word of God, the Scriptures here, has taken on effect.
And he's saying it's taken effect, that's what it means.
So he's saying, like, you know, he's telling people not to question that the Word of God is not effect.
No, it is effect, you know, that's what he's saying.
For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel.
So, this is real in particular, right?
We're speaking of God's Israel.
Now, for they are not all of Israel, right?
Because again, you get the Jews and the Gentiles.
That are both saved, right?
And we went over this the last several chapters.
Because of grace.
It gives the Gentiles a chance to be saved, right?
Because they didn't grow up under the law.
The Jews did.
The Gentiles never had a law like that.
Only the Jews did, right?
But it gives both, even with the law, you can't be saved alone, right?
But, as Paul mentioned, again, don't mistake this for, you know, even though we're saved by grace, but Paul says the laws are not abolished.
They're not voided out.
He said, in the Acts, in chapter 6, right?
Remember that?
He said, then shall we void out the law?
He goes, no, God forbid.
So, the Jews obviously grew up with the law, and the Gentiles didn't.
But, the word of God, you know what I mean?
We're all adopted.
And once you believe in Jesus, we are all adopted into the Israel of the world.
So, neither because they are the seed of Abraham are they all children, but in Isaac shall the seed be called.
So I'm talking about children, you know, the progeny, bloodline of certain people, right?
Because there's people today, they believe, because if they, they believe like the, I don't want to, you know, want to pinpoint people too much, but the Hebrew Roots Movement, right?
There's a lot of people that believe that just because they're the seed of Abraham, they're guaranteed, they're grafted into heaven no matter what.
And they don't follow Jesus as the Messiah.
Which is totally, totally bogus, okay?
Totally blasphemy.
Plain and simple.
You have to believe in Jesus to get to heaven, right?
So, you see, it doesn't matter where you come from.
But it says, basically, as Paul went over the last several chapters, both Jew and Gentiles have a chance to go to heaven.
Through the belief of Jesus Christ.
That is, that they which are the children of the flesh, These are not the children of God, but the children of the promise are counted for the seed.
Right?
So again, if you understand this, right?
That is, they which are the children of the flesh, that's, you know, you're born into the ultimate nature and all that, right?
These are not the children of God.
But the children of the promise are counted for the seed.
So I'm saying, again, if you were with us the last chapter, we understood that you've got to be adopted to be a child of God.
Now the fallen angels, the angels, all of them, they're all children of God.
We went through this several times, you know, the children of God, the sons of God, right?
Those are the angels.
Both fallen and good angels.
We are the creation of God.
And to be counted as an official son or a daughter of God, you have to believe in Jesus Christ and be adopted.
That's where Paul talked about adoption, right?
For this is the word of promise, that this time will I come and Sarah shall have a son.
And not only this, but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, even by our father Isaac.
Bringing up the old scriptures.
Again, I'm going to point this out one more time, right?
I'm going to do it every time it comes upon us in the New Testament, right?
Now, the modern day churches, because of dispensationalism and all that, right?
They tend to say the Old Testament's not important.
The Old Covenant's not important.
Don't worry about it.
Don't even read it, right?
But again, like I say all the time, how would you know what Paul's talking about?
Well, when Jesus was cited in the Old Testament, right?
The Torah and all that.
How would you even know what he's talking about?
How would you even know who Rebecca was?
Or Isaac?
Think about that for a minute, right?
If the Old Testament wasn't important, right?
How would you even know?
Why would they even mention it?
Seriously, think about that for a minute.
One minute right here, right?
Let's think about that, right?
If you believe because you've been told by the church, don't worry about the Old Testament, just concentrate on the New Testament, right?
Why would Paul, why would Jesus and the apostles, right?
Why would they even mention the Old Testament?
Why would Jesus say so many times, right, as it is written, talking about the Old Testament, the Torah?
If it wasn't important, why would they mention it?
Why would they bring it up?
And if you don't know it, how do you know who Sarah is?
How would you know who Rebecca was?
Or Isaac?
You wouldn't.
And there's churches, they'll skip over these things, right?
They'll skip over verses like this because they don't want to sit there and explain to the audience, the congregation, who Sarah is and all that, to go back to the Old Testament again.
So that's why they frog hop all over the Bible.
They'll read a couple of verses, just like they have in this book, right?
Romans 9.
They'll read two or three verses, jump to another chapter and all that, bounce all over the Bible, right?
Voiding these verses out.
They do this strategically.
Oh, don't worry about the Old Testament.
Well, yeah, no, you do worry about the Old Testament.
Because it's very important.
Because if you didn't know the Old Testament, why would Paul mention it?
Why would Jesus mention it?
And again, not to sound redundant, but... How would you know who Sarah was?
Or Rebecca, or even Isaac?
You wouldn't.
So that's why it's important to know the Old Scriptures.
For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to the election might stand, not of works, but of him that calls.
So, for the children not born yet, neither having done any good or evil, right?
So basically, that's what it's exactly saying.
You know, if people were not born yet, right?
They haven't done any good or evil.
They haven't done nothing yet.
But the purpose of God according to the election might stand.
Not of works, right?
Because obviously they're not born yet to even do any works, right?
But Him of that cause, like God, right?
So, if you like, look deeper into this, right?
Man, you got people out there, oh man, these people drive me crazy, right?
They tell you, like, the abortions, right?
That life doesn't begin to the first breath.
And they'll bring up Genesis and all that, and say, oh yeah, that's when life begins, when God brings life to your nostrils.
It's not the air we breathe.
Because yeah, when a baby comes out, it opens up his lungs and the passageways to the heart and everything, right?
That's not true.
When a baby's first conceived, the second of conception, God breathes a life into it then.
And you can see a fusion happens.
It's like a burst of energy that literally happens that scientists to this day can't explain.
That's God breathing life into that child.
Plain and simple.
And it doesn't have to be fully formed to be a child.
It's a life form.
It's a human life.
So when it says for the children not born yet, Talking about, you know, like with Jeremiah, right?
God told him, I knew you.
It may help you make sense with this, right?
And again, if you didn't know the Old Testament, you wouldn't know this either.
Jeremiah was told by God, I knew you before you were in your father's womb.
Your mother's womb, I'm sorry.
I got that wrong.
I knew you before you were in your mom's womb.
And he already declared him to be a prophet among all nations.
Even before he was daughter of him, his father's eye.
Or implanted in his mother's stomach.
God already knew him.
So yeah, it's predestinate you're born.
All of us are.
And when we're born, we don't, you know, even before we're born or even pregnant, you know, being pregnant in your mother's stomach, right?
We haven't done no good or evil yet.
But that the purpose of God, according to his election, might stand.
God's got a plan for us.
And it was said unto her, Tell Eldo, she'll serve the younger.
As it is written, oh, look at this, right?
Jacob have I loved, but Esau I have hated.
So, right here, right here, right?
And I'm gonna say it again, if you didn't know the Old Testament, when the church would say, oh, don't worry about the Old Testament, then how would you know what any of this is talking about?
You wouldn't.
This is why it's important to know the entire Bible.
Because how many times have we been through the studies?
If you've watched all the studies so far, we've seen Jesus say many, many times, as it is written.
Talking about Daniel the prophet and everybody else, right?
This is Paul here, reciting the Old Testament.
He says, as it is written.
That's the Old Testament, right?
In the Torah.
Jacob have I loved, but Esau I have hated.
What shall we say then?
Is there unrighteousness with God?
Right?
He's asking this question.
Is there unrighteousness with God?
He goes, God forbid, that means no, of course not.
And that's what people fail to see all the time, where they'll recite Paul the Savior about the laws, like in chapter 6, right?
They'll see the question, right?
Shall we make war on the law?
And he goes, God forbid, that means no, of course not.
So in here he's saying, what shall we say then, right?
Is there unrighteousness with God?
He's asking about this, right?
Because of Jacob and Esau.
Because God forbid, that means no!
Of course not!
For he says to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy.
And I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.
So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that shows mercy.
So this is Paul bringing this up for a reason, to show how God, even back then, Way back then, before that time, you know, the time of Paul and all that, thousands of years before Paul and Jesus, right?
That God showed mercy and compassion to our people.
So again, if you didn't know the Old Testament, this chapter would be irrelevant to you. .
So see how many churches actually do that?
That would bring up the entire chapter of Romans 9.
See how many churches actually do that?
And it's gonna be maybe a handful, if you're lucky.
And no mainstream churches would do that.
So, the scripture says unto Pharaoh, even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, raised you up, that I might show my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth.
Therefore, have he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will have hearted.
And we know that God eventually hearted Pharaoh's heart.
And he's talking about Moses and Pharaoh here.
Remember?
The Exodus?
That's why he brought up Moses here and Pharaoh here.
That he had mercy, compassion for Moses and the people, the Jews.
And he hearted the heart of Pharaoh.
Thy will say unto me, why does ye yet find fault?
For who has resisted his will?
Nay, which is no, no, but O man, who art thou that replyest against God.
Ask him, right?
Are you who replyest against God?
Shall the thing formed say unto him that formed it?
Why hast thou made me thus?
Has not the potter power over the clay?
Or the same lump to make one vessel into honor and another into dishonor?
So, you understand this, right?
The potter, right?
If you know what a potter is, you should know what a potter is.
It's a person who takes clay and makes, like, vases and all that stuff, right?
So basically saying the potter has power over the clay.
He controls the clay how he wants to shape it.
To a cup, to a bowl, to a vase, whatever the case, right?
That's... God is our potter.
Because he formed us out of the dust of the earth, right?
And again, you wouldn't know that if you didn't read this.
This is so awesome, right?
Because, again, for some reason they keep out the Old Testament.
How would you know how we were created?
Any of that stuff you would not know.
God is our Pada, right?
He has power over us to make us the way He wanted to make us.
Well, the same lump to make one vessel into an andano, right?
And another into disano.
And again, it's showing examples, yeah?
There's Moses.
And his people had compassion and honor, right?
And Pharaoh, yeah, because his heart was hot, I know that, and God showed, you know, to another dishonor, right?
So God creates people for certain things, right?
And yeah, there was a time that Pharaoh had the chance, and God gave him the chances, to repent on things, right?
And he refused to.
So God hardened his heart, and yeah, let him drown in sorrow.
What if God, willing to show his wrath and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fed into destruction?
And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy which he had aforeprepared into glory.
Vessels of vessels, sas, people.
Right?
And God willing to show His wrath, shows His power.
So when God showed His wrath upon Egypt, the 10 plagues and all that, and it's so cool, because if you look at every one of the plagues, it was a direct mockery.
God literally made a mockery out of Egypt's top 10 false gods.
Literally, think about it, right?
We did a whole show on that once before, on Spiritual Warfare Friday, but it's called God vs. the Gods.
It's in our playlist here on Spiritual Warfare Friday.
But, awesome stuff, it really is.
So, again, yeah, this is Paul saying he's understanding, you know, this stuff, right?
So even us, whom he had called, you know, the believers, right?
Us, who are the believers, that God's called, right?
Not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles.
Right?
So, all of us.
He's asking, right?
And as he says, also in the seed, I will call them my people, which were not my people in her beloved, which was not beloved.
Right?
So, to be God's people, you gotta believe in him.
To be the sons of God, you gotta be adopted.
Yes, we're His creation, but we're not the children of God.
Unless you're adopted into... by Him, I'm sorry.
And to do that, to get adopted, right?
To get those adoption papers signed spiritually, you need to, what?
Come to the cross and believe in Jesus Christ as your Savior.
And accept the Holy Spirit.
That's how you get adopted and grafted, which also Jesus talks about, being grafted into God's Israel.
And it doesn't mean you move to Israel and become an Israelite.
No.
We talk about God's Israel, spiritual Israel, His kingdom.
And it shall come to pass that in the place where it was said unto them, You are not my people.
There shall they be called the children of the living God.
Right?
And Isaiah also cried concern about Israel.
Now they say Isaiah, it's different spellings than the text of him, right?
Also, cryeth concern in Israel.
So he was crying because he was concerned about Israel.
Do the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea?
A remnant shall be saved.
So if you understand what's going on, right?
Isaiah was crying because he was very concerned about the children of Israel, right?
Again, God multiplied them, if you read the old scriptures, right?
You know what this means.
Again, this is very important to understand in the Old Testament, right?
Because God said to Jacob and all that, well, multiply your seed by, like, the stars in the sky and the sands in the sea, right?
If you understand that, then that means multitudes of people, right?
But not all of them are going to be saved.
A remnant shall be saved.
Which remnant?
It's pieces of.
In other words, the best way to explain this, right?
If anybody that's ever put a carpet at home or, you know, some tile on the new floor, whatever the case, right?
Just say you lay out the carpet, right?
You put the carpet in, you gotta cut the carpet to fit the floor, right?
And you gotta cut different pieces and all that to fit certain areas, right?
So whatever you've got left after the job is done, right?
Whatever you've got left, they call that remnant, and they sell it as remnant sales.
You go to hardware stores and buy remnant sales or whatever the case, right?
And that's just one example.
It could be tile, it could be, you know, they'll use, I'll just say, 10 boxes of tile, and they only get to use like eight, right?
The remnant of will be two, right?
So you get the point, I'm trying to say, right?
But in this case here, okay, the number of children of Israel has been, Like as each grain of Santa Misea, right?
You couldn't even count it.
Even if you took a handful of sand, right?
You couldn't count every grain.
Imagine the entire world size.
Yeah.
Get the point?
But only a remnant is going to be saved.
That's all there is to it.
There are billions and billions and trillions of people that live down this road, guys.
Not all of them are going to the kingdom.
The Bible makes that clear only through the straight and narrow that very few are going to enter.
That's what the Bible says.
Even people who claim to be saved and everything else and go to church and all that.
Yeah, they're not going to make it through that little door.
Because the world pushes you right or left.
And this goes into politics and the occult.
It's not a coincidence.
The whole world wants you, politically, spiritually, and everything else, they want you to sway to the right or left.
And to avoid that little, little, little door that's right in the middle.
That little white door.
So, put that into perspective, right?
That's why the world sways you right or left in the occult.
In the occult, right, just like witchcraft, right, there's right-handed magic and there's left-handed magic.
Secret societies, there's a right path and there's a left path.
In politics, there's the right party, which is the Republicans, and the left party is the Democrats.
I'm independent myself, you know what I mean?
And this goes all the way, you know what I'm saying?
With a remnant.
Remnant, that means it's a few.
In other words, you put that carpet in, right?
You still got all those pieces you cut off because they, you know, you didn't need it.
And you put them into a pile, that's a remnant.
In this case, it's us, okay?
For he will finish the work and cut it short in righteousness.
Because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth.
So remember Jesus said, this first thing comes to my mind, right?
In Matthew 24, when we talked about it, He says, talking about the tribulation, In other words, if He allowed Satan to have his full run over us, right?
He would destroy every one of us.
There would be no flesh left alive, even his followers.
He would destroy every human being on the planet.
But, yeah, for he will finish the work and cut it short in righteousness.
That's just exactly what Jesus said in Matthew 24.
He'll cut those days short for our sake.
Because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth.
And if you think about it, yeah, it seems like a lifetime.
We're all waiting for the tribulations to pop up any time, if they haven't even started already.
I believe we're right at the doorstep.
But all these years, you're like, oh, it's been taking a while, right?
But when it's done and sent over, it's going to be a flash in the pan.
Literally, your whole life is a flash in the pan.
It seems like a long time.
Remember when you were 16?
You're like, oh man, I can't wait to turn 21 or 18.
You know, it's time when you're young, in the flesh, you want to go out and buy alcohol and all that stuff, right?
You turn 21, it came faster than you thought.
But when you're like 10 years old, I can't wait to turn 18 so I can do what I want, move out.
And that 18 came faster than you thought.
At the time it didn't seem it, but when you turn 18, it seemed like a flash in the pan.
Just whatever how old you are right now, listen, right?
Think about that for a minute.
Everything you've, all the things in your life, right?
At this point, it seemed like a flash in the pan.
That's how it is.
The whole work of God on this earth for you.
When Jesus returns, everything in your entire lifetime, or if you face death, it's all going to be a flash in the pan.
So, the best way to describe it is if you've got a tombstone, right?
And God forbid you pass away.
Just say, me, I was born in 1974, right?
And there's a dash between that date and just say I passed away this year, right? 2023.
That little dash, okay, that's your life.
Between those two dates.
That's a flash in the pan.
Especially to God, because God is all through history, right?
Thousands and thousands of years on the earth.
It's a flash in the pan to Him.
Put that into perspective, right?
And Isaiah said before, except the ward of the Sabbath had left us a seed, We had been Sodoma and been made like unto Gomorrah.
So, except the Lord of the Sabbath.
Who's the Lord of the Sabbath?
Now mind you, this is before Jesus.
In the Old Testament.
Isaiah, right?
Prophesies about the coming of Jesus, right?
Who's he talking about, the Lord of the Sabbath?
Because Jesus talked to him thousands of years before he was born in the flesh.
Jesus visited Isaiah, visited Moses and all the other prophets, prophesied about his own coming.
And here's Isaiah saying, except the water of the Sabbath had left us a seed, which we had been Shadoma, we had been made like unto Gomorrah.
Sodom and Gomorrah, right?
Making reference that, yeah, the Savior, the Messiah, right?
And at the time, he didn't come yet, but he was prophesizing on the coming of Jesus.
Through the seed.
Right?
And that's why Mary and Joseph both were... Their bloodline goes back to King David.
And King David's bloodline goes back to Noah.
And Noah's bloodline goes back to Adam.
That's why God preserved Noah and his family, because they were pure.
Their bloodline was pure.
They were perfect in their generations, as Genesis 6 says.
And again, nobody would understand us if they didn't understand the Old Testament.
See how important the Old Testament is?
Because this whole chapter would be rendered useless.
And I would challenge anybody, right?
Go to a church, right, and if they have an open topic night or a Bible study night that you get to pick the Bible, you get to pick your study, right?
Take turns teaching.
I would dare you, okay, to bring Romans chapter 9 up.
This is one of many chapters, right?
And I guarantee those churches out there who don't want to, you know, they avoid the Old Testament, none of them are going to even understand what in the heck you're talking about.
None of them.
Unless they read it for themselves, but learning from the church, they're not going to understand who's Sarah, who's Abraham, who's this or that.
Now everybody knows Moses because he's a key figure in the scriptures, right?
But yeah, they're not going to understand any of this.
And what shall we say then, that the Gentiles which followed not after the righteousness have attained to righteousness?
Even the righteousness which was faith, But Israel, which followed after the Law of Righteousness, has not attained to the Law of Righteousness.
So, again, back to the Jews and back to the Gentiles.
We just covered this in the last chapter.
Right?
In those chapters before that, right?
Again, the Gentiles, they didn't grow up with the Law.
They grew up in unrighteousness and all that, right?
The Jews grew up with the Law, following the Law, right?
So, the salvation was offered to both.
It doesn't matter if you're a Jew or a Gentile, right?
You come to the cross, it's all new.
Doesn't matter if you've been following the law the whole time, right?
It's not going to get you into heaven unless you believe in Jesus the Messiah.
But again, it doesn't mean the law is abolished.
Jesus himself said that not one jot of tittle shall change from the law.
He's not here to abolish it.
You understand that?
But even with the law, you still need grace.
And the Gentiles have.
They didn't have the law.
But because they believed in Jesus, they saved through grace.
And at this point now, when you're born again, you become a new person.
And yes, you need to keep the commandments.
10 Commandments, Jesus says in Revelation 14, 12 and several other, all through the New Testament, that you need to keep the commandments of God.
And yes, there's two great commandments of the hanging, which hang the 10 commandments, but he specifies the commandments of God.
He's commanded us in the end times, Revelation chapter 14, verse 12.
The patience of the saints.
He's talking about the end times.
He's teaching John about the end time saints.
That's us.
That we need to keep the faith in Jesus Christ and the commandments of God.
The Ten Commandments.
So the Gentiles, once you convert, yeah, you need to understand and know the Ten Commandments.
The Jews already knew the Ten Commandments, right?
But they didn't know the Messiah.
Like today's churches, right?
Today's religions, right?
You got the general Christianity out there, which we all, all of us were Gentiles, right?
I didn't grow up a Jew.
We were all Gentiles, right?
Most of us, right?
We didn't know the Lord or anything like that.
But through grace we were saved, right?
The Jews knew the law, but they don't believe Jesus is the Messiah.
See where this goes?
This is what Paul is trying to explain here.
To show that none of y'all are better than each other.
Just because you grew up with the seed of Abraham or something, and even if you directly related to him, and you followed the laws of the tea, you're still not saved unless you believe in Jesus Christ.
And to the people out there, oh man, I never knew the law.
The Gentiles, I never knew the law.
Oh man, you know, I feel like I'm going to go to hell.
Well, if you believe in Jesus, you escape that.
You become a new person in both.
Here's the thing, right?
This is the whole thing, right?
The modern day Jewish religions, right?
They'll teach you the law.
They'll teach you the Ten Commandments, which is great.
The Sabbath, the whole nine yards, right?
Which is great.
But they leave out the point that Jesus is Messiah.
The modern-day lukewarm Christian churches today, right?
They'll teach you Jesus is the only way to heaven, right?
But they void out the commandments.
You see what's going on here?
The modern-day Christian church and the modern-day Judeo system, right?
They teach you half and half.
Now the thing is, to be saved, you need to know both.
And again, Paul talks about being adopted as children of God.
You can't be adopted as a child of God and purposely go out there and break the tango rules.
You know what I mean?
So again, Paul says in the last chapter, you know, shall we make way to the law?
God forbid.
No.
That's what churches today don't understand.
The Jews will leave out Jesus, they'll keep the commandments and the laws and everything, which is great, but they leave out the point that Jesus is the Messiah.
Then the modern day churches today, where all Gentiles converted, right?
Oh, don't worry about the Old Testament or the commandments, which the Bible never says that.
You need to know of both.
Both.
Okay?
Follow both.
That's how we honor God.
As Jesus says, keep the faith.
Let me bring that up here.
I know I told people I don't want to jump all over the Bible, okay?
Revelation 14, 12.
So, I can't wait to get to Revelation.
So, I know I told people I don't want to jump all over the Bible, but in this context, we'll make an exception, right?
He's telling John, Adam, and Paul, right?
Here's the patience of the saints.
Here are they that keep the commandments, specifying the commandments of God.
In the faith of Jesus Christ.
Right?
Boom, right there.
You need to do both.
Modern day Christian Church, oh, don't worry about the Old Testament or the Ten Commandments, you don't need it.
Modern day Jewish Church, oh yeah, we honor the commandments and laws, but Jesus is not the Messiah, they say.
See what goes on here?
The division between the two religions here?
See what happens?
When you need to do both, guys.
Just as Jesus Christ said.
Both.
Keep the commandments of God and the faith in Jesus Christ.
That's a follower of Jesus right there.
That's why I don't follow any religion.
Because modern day Christianity, they'll lead you to hell.
Modern day Judaism will lead you to hell.
You can't deny the, you know, except God's created, you know, wars and all that, which prophesies Jesus, but deny the Messiah.
Expect to get to heaven.
And you can't say, alright, I believe in Jesus, but I'm not going to follow the laws.
And you expect to get to heaven.
Jesus said how many times?
The lawless will not enter the kingdom of God.
Again, grace is not a free pass to sin.
You need to do both.
Okay?
Keep the commandments of God and the faith in Jesus Christ.
As Paul's pointing out here too.
Wherefore, because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law.
For they stumbled at the stumbling stone.
Talk about the Jews, they just followed the law because they were brought up with it, right?
But they don't believe in it.
They don't have the faith in it, I should say, right?
Some do, yeah, but again, they deny Jesus is the Messiah, even though their own prophets said that Jesus was going to come, where he was going to come, how he was going to come, when he was going to come, and yet they still believe he is not the Messiah.
They're not going to find out until it's too late.
As it is written, once again, recite the Old Testament.
Behold, I lay in Sion a stumbling stone and rock of offense, and whoever bleeds on him shall not be ashamed.
Sion a stumbling stone and rock of offense.
As is written, right?
And whoever bleeds on him shall not be ashamed.
What was he talking about?
Right, but he was talking about Jesus here.
A stumbling stone against these fates.
Because you need to do both.
You need to keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus Christ.
And if you don't, you're going to keep hitting that stumbling stone and a rock of offense.
But whoever believes on him shall not be ashamed.
And it continues into chapter 10.
So, we'll see you for chapter 10.
But if you got any comments, questions, or anything like that, or agree with what it says, please put it in the comments section in the video here.
And not just the chat room, but the comments section.
Very important to understand this stuff because, yeah, and I think there's a couple people told me when I got into the book of Paul it's going to be difficult, but I understand Paul.
I don't.
And I really see where he's coming from.
The first chapter too I was a little puzzled for a minute, but when I started getting into this, and especially with the Holy Spirit, you understand Paul where he's coming from.
And what are you saying?
So Paul's asking a lot of informative questions with the answers.
