truthradioshow.com Shalom and welcome back to the book of Galatians on truthradioshow.com and welcome to this in-depth comprehensive study of Galatians chapter 2 So like always guys, awesome Bible study approach.
We pray for us for wisdom and understanding.
So let's please do that right now.
So Jesus, here's your Messiah.
Once again, we ask for forgiveness of our sins and trespasses and any transgressions or abominations that we may have committed individually, Lord.
And please pour out your blood upon us, Lord, and cleanse us and make us our garments white, Lord.
And heavenly Father, we come before your throne.
To seek knowledge and wisdom and understanding.
And we ask you to ascend unto us the divine Holy Spirit.
And have him teach us, Lord, to write your word upon our hearts today.
And we love you so much.
And thank you for the great wisdom and understanding your precious word here.
Galatians chapter 2 and it's amazing studies already.
So we ask you to help everybody absorb this information.
And encourage them to read it for themselves as well, and to challenge every spirit as well.
So Lord, we love you so much, and just please protect us all from the forces of evil, and comfort anybody that needs comfort spiritually, mentally, physically, emotionally.
And, you know, we can't thank you enough, Father.
And, Amen.
So, it's just a blessing, really, to be able to do this kind of stuff here.
So we read description context, because context is key.
And let the scripture interpret scripture.
So if you just tuned in to this guys, if you didn't see chapter 1 already, I would just stop right where you are, go back and watch chapter 1 in our playlist, and come right back here.
And we'll, you know, of course, we'll be moving on.
So six chapters in this awesome book here, but there's a lot of context involved.
And again, we don't just read through the Bible.
We examine and study every word, word for word.
So sit back, enjoy the ride, and if you've got a Bible, guys, please open it up on ShakenWakeRadio.com.
It's audio edition, so open up your own Bible, because we always encourage you to read it for yourselves.
So, let's get on to Chapter 2, and Paul's letter to the Galatians, right?
He goes, chapter 2 here, then 14 years after, mind you, chapter 1, right?
He ends up, you know, first of all he tells people, if anybody preaches another gospel, let them be accursed.
In other words, today's world, right?
If anybody preaches anything other than the Bible, that contradicts the Bible, let them be accursed.
Now, we understand there's, like, the apocryphalia, right?
There's books like the Book of Enoch and all that, we're not saying it's gospel.
But these historical documents do back up the scriptures.
But again, they're not gospel, you know what I'm saying?
They do back up the scriptures.
So anything that, like, goes against the gospel, yeah, let them be oppressed.
And we don't preach those gospels, we just use that for historical content.
And also Paul left off, you know, talking about his journey, how he became a follower of Christ.
As you all know, he used to be Saul, now Paul.
And he goes on to say, the rest weren't here, "...then fourteen years after, I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, and took Titus with me also.
And I went up by revelation." Which revelation, right?
Revelation is the knowledge and wisdom, the preaching that Jesus Christ gave to Paul directly.
And I went up by revelation and communicated unto them that gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but privately to them which were in reputation, lest by any means I should run or had run in vain.
So let's see what reputation is, right?
We know what reputation means today.
Let me see.
Make sure that's put it right here.
Yeah, it's a regular reputation.
What other people think or believe about.
Right?
So, yeah, it's the same meaning today.
Because sometimes words are different.
You know what I mean?
Especially back then.
The same word we used today might mean something completely different back then.
So, that's why we do this.
And so, yeah, it's the same thing today.
What people think of you.
Your reputation, right?
So, yeah.
So, anyway.
And I went up by revelation.
Right?
With the knowledge of Jesus.
And communicated unto them the gospel.
Which I preach among the Gentiles.
But privately to them.
Which were of reputation.
Lest by any means I should run.
Or had run in vain.
So, So if he's saying, if I did it by reputation, you know, I've got to watch my reputation, whatever the case, yeah, I should have run and it would have been in vain, right?
And as you see in the first chapter here, he clearly said, I'm not here for my glory, okay?
I'm here for the glory of Jesus Christ.
But neither Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised.
So it was a Jewish custom back then, you had to be circumcised.
And that because the false brethren unawares brought in who came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in Jesus Christ.
That they might bring us into bondage.
Because, yeah, at the time the Jews, right?
Yeah, they didn't like the preaching of Jesus even to this day in Israel.
It's crazy, right?
They didn't like the preaching of Jesus Christ.
They thought Jesus was blasphemous and everything else.
And they were arresting people for doing that.
To whom we gave place by subjugation, right?
Subjection, okay?
Sorry guys, I buffed that word up.
To whom we gave place by subjection.
No, not for an hour that the truth of the gospel might continue with you.
So if you want to know what subjection means, let's go find out.
You always want to put You always want to put biblical meaning, by the way.
It's defined as being in a position or circumstances that place one under the power or authority of others.
So subjection, you know, you'd be placed under a power or authority, right?
Like a law or a rule, whatever the case, right?
So to whom we are placed by subjection, No, not for an hour, that the truth of the gospel might continue with you.
But of these who seem to be somewhat whatsoever they were, it makes no matter to me, God accepts no man's person.
For they who seem to be somewhat in conference added nothing to me.
Oops, sorry about that.
So, and it makes no matter to me, he's saying, God accepts no man's person.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Let me see what no man's person means.
He is, all right, all right.
Yeah, Paul Apostle has made it clear that he is not intimidated by the position of authority that were held by the leadership in Jerusalem, right?
So, it's good to get this information.
So, to make it more sense, right?
Because I was trying to figure out what this meant.
So, subjection, right?
And also no man's person, right?
So, that saying, Paul has made it clear that he's not intimidated by the position of anybody's authority.
He's not intimidated by anybody.
And at the time it was authority from Jerusalem, because they were killing people, apostles and all that stuff, for preaching the Word of God.
To preach that Jesus is the Messiah, right?
But counter-wise, When they saw that the gospel of the uncircumcision was committed unto me, as the gospel of the circumcision was unto Peter.
Because of Jewish customs back then, you had to be circumcised, right?
That was part of the law back then.
And again, it doesn't mean the law is abolished, but this is a different circumstance, right?
For he that wrought affectionately in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, the same was might in me toward the Gentiles." Because if you, you know, the Jews followed the Jewish laws, obviously the Gentiles didn't have the Jewish law.
We went over this, it was, I think it was Romans and also the Thessalonians.
Paul explained that.
You know, when you witness to a person that's a non-believer, right?
Or a non-Jew, whatever the case, because Jews, they grew up with the laws, you know what I'm saying?
They don't have the laws growing up.
You know what I mean?
So when they become a believer, they become a new person.
And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto me, they gave to me, in Barnabas, the right hands of fellowship.
That we should go unto the heathen and they unto the circumcised.
Did you see what was going on?
It's like... Paul was to go unto the heathen, right?
Paul and Barnabas.
And James, Cephas and John went unto the...
The Jews, I believe, right?
Yeah.
So, they were trying to reach out to both people.
So, the apostles' job was to reach out to both sides.
Because at the time, he was either Jew or Greek.
You know, whatever the case.
Jew or Gentile.
Gentiles are non-believers.
Jews are believers, but again, most Jews don't believe in Jesus the Messiah.
So their job was to educate the Jews and say, you already got it down.
You already got the laws down.
You already got the commandments down.
It's great.
You already got the faith of the Father down.
That's awesome.
Now you need to believe that, yeah, the Messiah that was preached to you by the prophets He's here, and at this point in time, he's already, he came and went.
That Jesus is that Messiah.
That was their job, to teach and educate the Jews, right?
Meanwhile, Paul and Barnabas, their job was to go to the Gentiles, the complete non-believers, the heathens, which were either occultists, or followed any mystery religions, or they followed just paganism, whatever the case, right?
That's what Paul's job was to do.
See, that's what people misunderstand, because they think, alright, that's where the whole misconfusion comes from.
Because people, when they talk about Paul, right, they think Paul abolished the laws.
You know, they said the laws were abolished, the commandments were... No, they're not.
That's not what he's saying, that's not what he said.
He's pointing out the unbelievers, obviously they didn't have the law growing up.
They didn't have any of that stuff growing up.
But because of grace, grace allows them to be adopted children of God.
To be grafted into God's Israel.
Now the Jews were already grafted in.
You know what I mean?
For them to be saved, they need to accept Jesus.
They already got everything else right.
That's where the big confusion people come with.
And it's because of the churches out there.
The dispensationalist churches.
Like I said in the last chapter, they think grace is a free pass to do what you want.
It's not.
Only they would, that would, should remember the poor.
The same which I do was also for, was for also.
Sorry guys, I buffed that up again.
I gotta calm down because I get all excited and I just like buff up these verses.
So one more time, only they would, that we should remember the poor.
The same which I also was for to do.
But when Peter was to come to interdome, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed.
So they were going to blame, you know, Paul, Peter, I'm sorry, right?
And before that certain came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles, but when they were come from what he drew, and separated himself, fearing them which were of the circumcision.
They talk about the Jews, right?
So when you, um, the circumcision is referred to the Jews, the uncircumcised is referred to the Gentiles.
So, just want to clear that up because, um, I don't want to sound confusing here.
And again, if you need clarification on something, guys, please hit me up in the comments section or email me.
And the other Jews dissembled likewise with him.
In so much as Bonamus was already carried away with their disemulation.
So... Let's see.
Let's see what that word means.
And guys, there's no shame ever to look up words.
And people say, well, I don't want to seem like I'm undereducated.
Oh well, too bad.
I mean, you shouldn't worry about that.
It's better to learn the words and understand them.
So this means...
So it sounds like a hypocrite.
A long word for hypocrite.
So you believe in one thing, but you're doing something else.
You know what I mean?
That's what it sounds like, right?
hypocrite.
A long word for hypocrite.
So you believe in one thing, but you're doing something else.
That's what it sounds like, right?
So you're saying that Bonapest was carried away with his dissimulation.
But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, right?
Thank you.
Thank you.
When they were not following the gospel.
I said unto Peter before them all, If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compelst thou the Gentiles to live as the Jews of the Jews?
So he's saying if you Like Peter here, right?
If you're a Jew, Peter was a Jew, right?
But if he's living after the man of the Gentiles, right?
And not as to do the Jews, right?
So basically, if you're not living according to who you are... You know, you're a Jew, right?
Living according to that.
Why compel the Gentiles to live as the Jews do?
And if you get what he's saying here, right?
You tell Peter, right?
You're living according to the Jews, right?
But, what you're doing is you're basically acting like the Gentiles, with the Gentiles.
But how are you going to convince the Gentiles to live according to the Jews and the laws and all that, if you're acting like them?
And who are we?
Jews by nature?
And not sinners of the Gentiles?
We who are, I'm sorry, not who are we, we who are Jews by nature, right?
We're Jews, you know, they're Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles.
Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ.
Now here comes a big, this is where the, oh man, these dispensational churches like really twist the heck out of this, right?
So they'll use this verse, one verse out of context, all the time, right?
And I think this is one of them anyway.
But knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, right?
We're not justified by the works of the law.
You can't be.
And you can try to live the law to the best you can, but you're never going to be justified by it.
But by the faith of Jesus Christ, which is grace.
Even we have believed in Jesus Christ, That we might be justified by the faith of Christ.
So we're justified by the faith of Christ, not by the law.
But, but, okay?
It doesn't mean the laws are abolished.
It doesn't mean you willingly, or whatever the case, just break the law.
As Paul says, God forbid.
We don't break, we don't do that, right?
In the last second Thessalonians and Romans he said that.
And not by the works of the law.
For by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
But again, this does not mean the laws are abolished.
This is the biggest misconception in the churches today.
They'll take this one verse.
Right?
Look!
Yeah, we don't have to worry about the laws.
Does that say that?
Does that say we don't have to worry about the laws?
And most of us being in these churches heard this garbage, right?
Oh, there it is right there, Paul saying we're just justified by faith, which we are.
We're justified by faith in Jesus Christ, right?
Not by the law.
But it doesn't say we were free to commit violations against it.
It would have sinned.
If the laws were abolished, right, why would Jesus tell us not to sin?
1 John talks about what sin is.
Sin is what?
Transgression of the law.
So why would Jesus tell us to constantly repent from sin when sin is what?
Transgression of the law.
Violation of the law.
If the laws are abolished, why would Jesus tell us to repent from them?
Makes no sense, does it?
No.
That's where the dispensationalism falls apart in the churches.
Complete contrary to what the scriptures teach.
Now again, no.
You can't get to heaven by following the law.
Only thing that gets you to heaven is believing in Jesus Christ.
And yeah, all of us break the laws every day, guys.
But we don't revel in it.
Our repetitive hearts, the Holy Spirit has us convicted of it.
When we do something bad, we're convicted, right?
We feel horrible.
That's the Holy Spirit convicting you.
Then we confess those sins and they're gone.
The modern day church is like we were saying, right?
They don't want to say, oh, don't worry about it.
You don't have to worry at all.
Some people go out and commit adultery, whatever case, and do things like that.
They're running a rampant lifestyle.
And they think, oh, that's all right.
I got a free pass to go to heaven.
No, that's not how it works.
Now, Paul goes now, you take this one verse, right?
You could throw it in all kinds of different meanings, right?
And churches run wild though, right?
But when you read it in context, like we said, context is either the chapter, or the paragraph, or a couple chapters, the whole section pertaining to that subject, right?
But if we move on, right?
But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, Is there for Christ the minister of sin?
Right?
He's asking, is Christ the minister of sin?
God forbid?
Yes, no.
And how many times have you seen Paul say God forbid in his writings already?
Like when he said, do we make void of the law?
No!
God forbid.
For if I build again, In these things which I destroyed, I might make myself a transgressor.
What's a transgression?
A violator.
Right?
Let's look it up.
out, right?
To act deceitfully or be a hypocrite?
One who breaks the law, right there, or command.
One who violates any rule or principle or rectitude of a sinner.
The way of transgression is hard.
Right?
One who breaks the law or violates the commandments.
The command, commandment, same thing.
So why would Paul, if they were abolished, why would Paul be saying this?
For I have, for I threw the law, am dead to the law, that I might live unto God.
So this is another verse that these churches misinterpret, right?
Saying, oh, you know, Paul's saying, you know, which we're not, we're saved by the law, right?
But they're saying the laws have been abolished or they've been fulfilled.
Fulfilled doesn't, when Jesus says that he fulfills the law, fulfilled is not abolished or ended.
It's completion.
You still do it, you know, it doesn't go away.
So, basically to the Jews, right?
Who think, oh, I follow the law, I'm going to heaven.
No, you don't.
But again, it doesn't mean you transgress the law either.
You know what I'm saying?
If you follow the commandments, the laws and all that, yeah, that's good.
There's nothing wrong with that.
But if you think that's what you're going to get you in heaven, because that's works, right?
You got another thing coming.
But is Paul here saying it's okay to write like the world?
God forbid, no.
I am crucified with Christ.
Nevertheless, I live.
Yet, not I, but Christ lives within me.
In the life which I now live, in the flesh, I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
I do not frustrate the grace of God, for if a righteous man come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.
That's all he's saying, again, right?
That's why you need to read, especially Paul, you need to read these things in context.
Paul's pointing out simply, right?
If you want to live by the laws alone, yeah, it's not going to get you anywhere.
Even if you manage to not break the Ten Commandments.
Alright?
You're still going to violate something along the way.
And even if you could follow the laws exactly, right?
That's not going to get you to heaven.
You need grace to believe in Jesus Christ.
And we'll continue this with the next chapter.
Yeah, chapter 3.
Again, there's only 6 chapters in this book, but there's a lot of context involved.
And I couldn't wait to get into Galatians, because the teachings here in Galatians are very important, because churches all the time take one or two verses out of context, right?
To make it sound like the laws are no good no more.
He's not saying the laws are no good no more.
He's not saying it's okay to break the law now.
He's not telling people, oh, don't worry about breaking the law.
He's not telling people this stuff was abolished.
He's simply telling you, none of that gets you to heaven but the grace of Jesus Christ.
But!
It doesn't mean you can sit there and violate the law either.
Because why would Jesus tell you to repent from sin?
Sin is what?
Transgression of the law.
Right?
And we'll look that up right now.
Right?
Sin is transgression of the law.
I don't usually like to hop all over the Bible like this, right?
But 1 John chapter 3, right here, 3-4, right?
Whoever commits a sin, right, transgresses also the law.
For the sin is transgression of the law, right?
And if you want to know with... I think we already just... Biblical definition.
Transgress to overpass the rules of the law.
Break or violate a law.
Or civil moral.
Or transgression or violation of the law.
So yeah.
Right there.
Full context right there.
Full meaning of what that means.
So you cannot possibly misunderstand it.
And this is what a lot of these people don't understand.
Right?
Sin is what?
Transgression of the law.
Whoever commits a sin is transgression also of the law.
For sin is transgression of the law.
Right?
So, Jesus wouldn't tell you to repent and confess sins, right?
If they were abolished.
Makes no sense, does it?
No, it doesn't.
And does Paul anywhere, right here, right?
We're already into Chapter 2.
We went through Romans, 1st Thessalonians, 2nd Thessalonians, here we are in Galatians, right?
Tell me right now, if you've been following us, right?
Did anywhere in those books so far, did Paul ever say that the laws were abolished?
Paul said no such thing.
And he doesn't say no such thing, and we'll show that.
And people say, well, Paul says, uh, no, the commandments or laws were nailed to the cross and blotted out.
No, no, no.
He said the statues were blotted out and nailed to the cross.
There's a difference between statues, commandments, laws, and, uh, commandments.
Four different things.
You need to know the legal terminology and stuff.
The thing is, uh, that's the problem.
Most people don't know legal terminology.
So when they hear the Statues of Natives of the Cross and blot it out, right?
Not the statues, uh... Oh man, the... The ordinances, right?
They think it's the commandments or laws.
It's not.
It's the penalties of the laws.
And we'll get to that when we get to that point, but I'm just trying to show you guys.
Yeah.
So far, nowhere has Paul ever remotely said that the laws are abolished.
But we don't have to keep them.
He's just simply saying the laws are not going to save you.
Only grace can save you.
So we've done a lot of shows on Spiritual Warfare Friday about this stuff, yeah.
And again, it's the problem with dispensationalist churches.
That's where the confusion comes from.
Comes from the Catholic Church especially.
You know what I mean?
And that's where the confusion in the world comes from.
When they started pushing these other Gospels out.
Like, well, dispensationalism.
With John Nelson Darby, the false teacher John Nelson Darby.
Cyrus Schofield, people like them.
That started when the Jesuits, so they started tweaking the Bible, coming up with different doctrines, confusing the churches.
They dumbed down the churches systematically.
And they have done that today.
And I'm, I can't tell you how much I'm blessed, I feel blessed that the Lord's woken me up from all that.
I used to defend all that stuff too.
The one saved, always saved, the pre-tribulation rapture, all that stuff, I defended that.
And I had no basis to defend that off of.
And I'm like, I feel compelled because I used to teach that garbage, right?
I feel compelled to teach the truth now.
That's why I'm doing this.
So, uh, thank you for tuning in to Chapter 2 of the Gospel of Grace, which is in Galatians, right?
So we'll see you for Chapter 3.
So again, if you need any clarification or anything like that, please email me, TruthRadioShow at Outlook.com or hit me up in the comment section.
