The Ancient Deception Unmasked: How Another Gospel slipped in unnoticed.

Well, thanks for clicking. If I were to make a video talking about the nephilim, the flat earth, movies, music, politics, work, video games, or just about anything else and make it engaging enough, thousands will click. But the moment I talk about the Gospel, the most important message for humanity, people shut down. The moment that I start speaking about the Gospel, it's like a part of the crowd suddenly turns off. They hear words, but they cannot listen. They have eyes, but they cannot see. And some go away just as they came, as if not a word was spoken. And it reveals a disease below the surface. Some of us don't like the true gospel. We've grown bored of it because we have fallen in love with another. Satan doesn't want you to live the Gospel. He is okay with you living one of the many corrupted versions of the Gospel. Instead, I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel. Not that there is another one, but there are some who trouble you and want to distort the Gospel of Christ. False gospels are everywhere. Every man made religion has a false gospel and they all trace back to a root of salvation by works. Yet the only true religion of Yeshua, the Messiah, is not man boasting in what man is doing, but man glorifying what God has done. But false gospels are not just out there in the other false religions. It's in your very midst trying to fool you, just like it fooled the foolish Galatians, which we will discuss soon. We've come to believe this lie that the Gospel is boring. We've heard that before. We say to ourselves, jesus died for me. Yes, I know. And the moment someone speaks like that, I know that they don't know. Because if they knew the gospel, they would want to speak about it more than anything else. They'd love him deeper than their sin and they'd hate the controversies and every distraction away from the Gospel of Christ. See, in my youth I was also once a believer, running after conspiracies while following Jesus all at the same time. And I thought that I knew the Gospel. Jesus died for me. Yes, I know. I learned that in Sunday school, but my heart was asleep to it. See, when you come to truly know the gospel, it's like a man who's underwater running out of oxygen, in anguish and in fear of drowning. And as he swims and swims and struggles to the surface and breaches the surface, he takes a deep breath for the first time. That's what it feels like before you were underwater, drowning in other ideas, and now the breath of life is what you found and where you remain satisfied. The breath of life isn't another fad, another new thing that temporarily receives our excitement. And if it is, that speaks volumes not of our Lord, but the broken condition of our hearts. So here's a question. Where do you invest your life? On the things below or the things above? Where do you love? Where is your passion for these answers proves before God and men if you truly know the true gospel? And while you're at it, ask one more thing. Why does God devote so much time and energy to explaining this one deception to us all? O foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you? It was before your eyes that Jesus Christ was publicly portrayed as crucified. Many of us pride ourselves in saying we've come to understand the true meaning of Galatians, that Paul was not speaking against the law of God itself. We've often taught Galatians for what it doesn't mean. We've had this defensive posture whenever there is talk about interpreting Galatians. But what is the message of Galatians? Sometimes our passion to defend what Paul isn't saying comes in the way of us seeing what he is saying. The Book of romans, Galatians, Ephesians, Titus 1 and 2 Timothy, and more is devoted to explaining humanity's desire to save themselves by works, and how justifying ourselves by our own works for salvation leads to hell, and how God's grace is our only hope. Galatians 3:10 for all who rely on works of the law are under a curse, for it is written, cursed be everyone who does not abide by all things written in the book of the law and do them. Now it is evident that no one is justified before God by the law. For the righteous shall live by faith. No one, no matter who they think they are. No one is justified before God by the law. Some have fallen into the very false gospel Paul was speaking against. Now you can say, well, pd, how could you say that? Well, I'm glad you asked. The Bible provides us a biblical test to see whether we believe a false gospel. And the single most clear symptom of believing a false gospel is is boasting against others. See, when you state that all other Christians are unsaved for not keeping a particular law that you feel passionate about, this is what the Pharisees did. Initially. They thought that they didn't need a messiah because they already had one. They thought that they could save themselves through obeying the law. But we know Christ spoke against those. Yet later, certain Pharisees adopted Christ into their religion. They would say that they believe in the pure Gospel, but the requirements that they placed upon others proved that they had another Gospel. For example, in Acts 15, the particular commandment that the Pharisees required of Gentiles was circumcision. They were so passionate about a law that they lost sight of the Gospel and they wanted to insert their Passion Law into the Gospel. It's written. But some men came down from Judea and were teaching the brothers, unless you are circumcised according to the custom of Moses, you cannot be saved. Acts 15. 1. This was a corruption to the Gospel, and the apostles rejected this. Now, for these Pharisees, circumcision was their Passion law that men had to keep to stand a chance at salvation. But for people today, they have their own particular Passion laws that may not be circumcision, but something else, like the Sabbath. And this is not to say that the commandments aren't important, for of course they all are. But they have a place. They are for us to obey God in, but they are not for us to seek justification unto salvation. In Galatians 5:3, I testify again to every man who accepts circumcision that he is obligated to keep the whole law. You are severed from Christ, you who would be justified by the law. You have fallen away from grace. And this is the danger. Adopting a Pharisaic outlook on the role of the law in salvation while implementing Christ all at the same time. Obey the law and be saved becomes the Gospel. And faith in Christ is tacked on compared to what is written. For by grace you've been saved through faith. This is not your own doing. It is a gift of God, not a result of works, so that no man may boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them. The true Gospel is that you are saved by faith, not your own doing, and that true faith means we become his workmanship. I do not have faith in myself. I have faith in his ability to save me. And salvation then rebirths us to walk in Yeshua's good works. Your only hope is in the Holy Spirit doing something in you.

And this is a good point to probably ask, does all this not contradict James 2:24, whereby it says, you see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone? Why do the Scriptures at times seem contradictory in this? Without context, it seems like a contradiction. But with Context we can understand that James is warning against false faith. In James 2:17 we so also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead. Faith that does not ultimately result in producing good works in a person's life should be questioned. Is what James says whether that faith was even true. He uses the example of Abraham. He says in verse 21 was not Abraham our father justified by works? When he offered up his son Isaac on the altar, Abraham was tested to offer up his very own son. And it was because of his faith in God that he continued in that good work, passing the test. Abraham was saved by faith before he came to that moment of offering up Isaac. But after his offering, his faith was tested and proven by his works. We see then that James does not have a problem with what the source of our salvation is. He recognizes that we are saved by faith. Just as Paul wrote James warning rather.

Is to those who say that they.

Have faith but don't live like it and thinks they will be justified despite not having good works. This is what the Pharisees did. They said they had faith in God but did not live like it. To believe is to produce fruit. Paul and James are in agreement, but.

Depending on your works always produces a self righteous pride. Did you catch what was written in ephesians? In verse 9 it said salvation is not a result of works so that no one may boast. Boasting is the giveaway that you believe a corrupted gospel. For if it was your incredible works that has any power to save you after all, then that's something to boast in. If it's your knowledge that you acquire that makes you fit to face God, that's something to boast in. But both of these assumptions are lies from the pit of hell. It's not your incredible works. Rather Yeshua says that no one is good but God in Mark 10:18 and 1 John 1:10 says if we say we have not sinned, we make him a liar and his word is not in us. Number two, acquiring this knowledge didn't depend on you. John 6:44 speaks of that. No one comes to Yeshua unless the Father draws him. And Romans 3:23 says we are justified by his grace as a gift through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. We need to stop taking credit for God's work in us, lest he cease working in us. We need to start worshipping God as the sole source of our salvation and rejoicing in the transformation that he's brought us that we can begin to have any bit of obedience and even in that obedience, we must recognize that we fall short. Brothers and sisters, you are one of two people. The one boasts and says, oh God, I thank you. I'm not like other men. I keep the Sabbath, I keep the feasts. Thank you, God. I'm not like this pagan Christian. Instead you should have been beating your chest and saying, God, forgive me, a sinner. When it comes to my works, I will not boast in them. When it comes to my works, I will not look to the sins of another. When it comes to my works, they need to be dealt with. When it comes to my works, I need saving. I don't have time. I don't have time to spend on others. I need to be saved myself. Oh God, save me so that I can be a light to other. Oh God, don't listen to my boasting, don't listen to what I say. I do. Oh God, save me by what you've done. For all that I have done have become as filthy rags before you because of the pride. See, in this story of the Pharisee and the tax Collector In Luke 18, we see that it ends unexpectedly with a tax collector being saved and a religious Pharisee. Not. I tell you, this man went down to his house, justified rather than the other. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted. The tax collector actually believed the gospel, even though his works were lacking. And in fact, it was because he had lacking works that he was more willing to come and fully throw his faith on Christ. But the Pharisee was under a delusion to think that his works was able to save him. His works were just as evil as the tax collector because they were covered and contaminated with pride and boasting and exultation and such. As many of the religious today, the sign of belief in the true gospel is humility. And the sign of belief in a false gospel is boasting. Please let us understand that being religious isn't enough. Yeshua said, truly, I say to you, the tax collectors and prostitutes go into the kingdom of God before you. And so if I've been speaking and the shoe has been fitting you in one way or another, I must ask, why are we still debating this? Are you not experts of God's words? Do you not boast in your superiority to Christians? I mean, I bear witness to it. I have sat in so many meetings with so many teachers boasting against Christians, yet your knowledge, it's puffed you up. And when boasting in your knowledge you have been found to know nothing at all. For Paul said, 1 Corinthians 2, 2. For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. So my question to the law keepers who think they know something about the law, do you know Christ and him crucified? For Paul, who was a true expert of the law, a student of Gamaliel, he said that he has decided to know nothing except Jesus and him crucified. That in all of his knowledge Paul humbled himself, receiving Christ, proclaiming Christ and breathing his Gospel. This is true spiritual maturity. Don't talk to me about your sabbaths or your feasts if you don't have this heart for the Gospel. And so, brothers and sisters, even though I speak strongly today, I speak this way because I love you and I want you to be free. I have compassion on you because some of you have been led astray. And so I speak to the false shepherds. When Paul said, o foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you? He spoke to a who? He doesn't just blame the Galatians, he has compassion upon them as sheep without a shepherd, but asked for the whole. He blames the false shepherds who moved into the camp to bring a false gospel, to bewitch them. These wolves come and call you to depend on another atonement besides for that which was provided in the body of the Lamb himself. And then they shower you with distractions away from the gospel, because they have no love for the gospel. They are known for their boasting. They will tell you how much better you are and how much better they are before God compared to other fellow Christians, so that they can take you captive, as they have been taken captive. Instead of boasting, they should have been mourning. But blind to their own sin, they boast. It's a disgusting practice that I will call out and will not tolerate, for they make disciples after themselves, and even worse than this. Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for you travel across sea and land to make a single proselyte. And when he becomes a proselyte, you make him twice as much a child of hell as yourself. I ask then, am I the only one who has come across this that we are speaking about here tonight? And if not, and you also bear witness to this, why is there not an outcry? Why are sirens not ringing in the camp? I cannot stay silent, and I call on all shepherds to take this seriously, to strongly correct, exhort, rebuke, and reject false gospel and the false shepherds promoting them. If you know me, you know that I am a man of peacemaking and unity. But this is where I draw the line when people are being led into hell. And yet, like Paul, I do not blame the body of Christ for the blood is on the hands of the false shepherds. But Israel, I do say this to you. Hear me now. No longer will you cry out in your hearts. This is no big deal. Let us feast, let us have another meal while people die without gospel, there is nothing more important than getting this right, understanding the gospel, prioritizing its proclamation so that we may too see salvation come to others. Disagree on your calendars, your names and your shapes, but do not disagree on the gospel. Father, I ask that you would help us to get our eyes back on what is important. We repent where we have been distracted and where we have allowed distraction in. Help us to take a stand strongly and against every theology that exalts itself, against the knowledge of Christ and Himself crucified. Father, help us. Give us the words, give us the soundness of mind, give us the boldness to take a stand on the non negotiable that which is our atonement in you. Yeshua Yeshua Please do a mighty work, Lord. Open the minds, open the eyes, open the ears of the people so the gospel may move from something boring to something exciting that fills them with passion, fills them with fire to go after lost souls and to teach it truly accurately, not tacking on our laws unto the gospel of salvation, but believing in faith again. Lord, I thank you that you have saved us and that we do not have to save ourselves. Thank you. Thank you that we can know you pray this name Yeshua. Amen. Please share this video with anyone who may need to hear this. May the Father bless and keep you, shine his face upon you, lift up his countenance upon you and give you His Shalom. Sam.
