    Does the law of Jesus do away with the 10 commandments?

    Does the law of Jesus do away with the 10 commandments? No.

    Does the law of Jesus do away with the 10 commandments? No

    Are the ten commandments in the new testament

    Paul says

    Ro 7 11 “For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me. 12 Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.”

    Jesus’ law is just a concentrate of the 10 commandments. It is simplified even more when it says:

    Ro 13 10 “Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.”

    Paul kept the Sabbath all his life. Jesus, to make it simple, said love God and love others. Then, to simplify it more, Jesus said love is the fulfilling of the law. It does not mean it does away with the ten commandments. It is just Jesus explaining the law in a simple way. Nobody is saved by keeping the law. God keeps the law through us, as our works are dirty rags. But the law is not done away with.

    Ac 17 2 “And Paul, as his manner was, went in unto them, and three sabbath days reasoned with them out of the scriptures”

    Paul kept the Sabbath, which is one of the ten commandments, all his life. Paul never said the law is done away with. Paul said we are not under the law, or under the condemnation of the law, as the price for sin has been paid by Jesus. We do not need to bring animal sacrifices anymore.

    Does the law of Jesus do away with the 10 commandments? No, as the law of Jesus is the same as the ten commandments. Jesus did not come to do away with the law. Jesus said not one jot from the law will pass until heaven pass. If Jesus kept the Sabbath all His life, as it says in Luke 4 16, then Jesus did not do away with the ten commandments, as Jesus is the One who gave the ten commandments to Moses.

    Paul says a man is bound by the 10 commandments as long as he lives

    Ro 7 1 “Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth?”

    As long as we live, we will have the ten commandments. It never was done away. If God could have done away with the ten commandments, then Jesus would not have needed to die on the cross.

    Ro 3 20 “Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.”

    Sin is known by the ten commandments. Are there sinners today? Yes, then it means we are breaking the ten commandments. Sin is the breaking of the ten commandments.

    Was the Sabbath done away after Jesus died? No. The Sabbath is part of the ten commandments.

    Lk 23 54 “And that day was the preparation, and the Sabbath drew on. 55 And the women also, which came with him from Galilee, followed after, and beheld the sepulchre, and how his body was laid. 56 And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the Sabbath day according to the commandment.”

    The Sabbath was kept by the apostles after Jesus died. They did not start to keep Sunday, as it says they returned to the tomb on Sunday, but they rested on Sabbath. If the Sabbath was changed to Sunday, then the apostles would have rested Sunday also. Does the law of Jesus do away with the 10 commandments? But Sunday is a pagan holiday. Why would the apostles keep a pagan holiday?

    Apostles rested according to commandment? Which commandments? The 10.

    If the commandments were done away, would they have rested on Sabbath? No. It proves the 10 commandments were not done away with.

    Lk 24 1 “Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them.”

    If Sabbath was changed to Sunday, why did they not rest on Sunday? Because Sabbath was not changed to Sunday. They rested on Sabbath and came to see Jesus’ tomb on Sunday because Sunday is a working day, as Monday, etc. Does the law of Jesus do away with the 10 commandments? No.

    Lk 4 16 “And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up for to read.”

    Jesus kept the Sabbath all His life. Jesus is the Lord of the Sabbath. When it says the law was given because of transgressions, it means the law was spoken because of transgressions. Watching the Greek and Hebrew in the Bible is very important. So the verse would say the law was spoken because of transgression, or spoken again.

    To the young ruler, Jesus tells him keep the commandments. Through Jesus’ righteousness, as we do not keep the law. No one can keep the law. We are all sinners and none is good, not one. There is no righteousness in us. Our best works are dirty rags. Jesus does the works through us only for those who ask for His righteousness.

    Mt 19 17 “And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments. 18 He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness”

    James says if we break one commandment, like the Sabbath, we become transgressors of the whole law and condemned of God. We are all sinners and nobody can keep the law. Only Jesus through us keeps the law. We do not have to make efforts anymore; it is by faith.

    Ja 2 10 “For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. 11 For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law. 12 So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.”

    The Bible says we will be judged by the 10 commandments. We need to overcome sin through Jesus. When we die, if we are still proud, selfish, unloving, unkind, then we cannot enter heaven. Thank God Jesus can remove sin from us, as we cannot do it.

    Ec 12 13 “Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. 14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.”

    All good works comes from God. All desire to do good and to love God and love others come from God.

    In heaven everyone will keep the Sabbath

    Is 66 22 “For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain. 23 And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one Sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD.”

    If the Sabbath ever existed and was given to Adam and Eve, and all prophets kept the Sabbath, and all apostles kept the Sabbath, Jesus says in Revelation 12 that His true end-time movement will keep the Sabbath also. Then Isaiah also says in heaven everyone will keep the Sabbath. It makes no sense to believe that the Sabbath would have been done away. Does the law of Jesus do away with the 10 commandments? No.

    Jesus keeps the law through faith

    Jn 14 10 “Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.”

    The works that Jesus did were by faith. The Father did the works through Him. Why are so many Christians believing that they have to work and do something for heaven? Our part is faith, not works. If it is by works, then it is no more of faith. Salvation is not of works. Does the law of Jesus do away with the 10 commandments? No.

    Jesus’ end-time movement will keep the Sabbath compared to Babylon that will teach the law is passed.

    Re 14 12 “Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.”

    Jesus says here is the group that keeps the Sabbath compared to over there; on the other side is Babylon. This is the great body of modern Christianity which has fallen under the second angel’s message of Revelation 14.

    By rejecting the first angel’s message, they became Babylon. They fell under unbelief. They fell from the truth. The group that teaches Babylon teachings, that the Sabbath is done away with, is led by Satan. Please, my brother, come out of her. And do not partake of her sins and the plagues that will be falling on the majority of Christian churches. Study the 3 angels’ messages. Read The Great Controversy by Ellen G. White.

  • Babylon in the Book of Revelation: Who Is She?

    Babylon in the Book of Revelation: Who Is She?

    The Bible says Babylon is a mixture of truth and error. These errors can come from paganism, Satanism, or other false religions. But mixing these beliefs with the Bible makes it unfit for a church to be called a church. What name does Jesus give these churches? Babylon.

    Babylon in the Book of Revelation: When Did This Confusion Happen?

    Paul says in the New Testament that after he would die, many false teachers would come into the true church and would not spare the flock. Paul said that many Christians from the early church would pervert the truth and mix it with false teachings. What does Paul call this? Damnable heresies. Babylon in the book of Revelation is the ultimate deception for Christians.

    2 Peter 2:1-3 — “But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.”

    When false teachers come into the church, the result is that Satan enters the church in a clever way, since people do not suspect those teachings to be of Satan — because they are taught by a preacher in a Christian church. This is an amazing deception. Babylon in the book of Revelation is a mixture of Bible and false teachings. Paul says the damnation of those people — not only the false teachers but those who have believed a lie — is sure. Babylon in the book of Revelation teaches paganism while making people believe it is the Bible.

    Acts 20:29 — “For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.” Paul says here that after he would die, which was around AD 65, false teachers would come in. And the Christian church, already by AD 65, would start to experience a division: those who teach the Bible only, and those who would introduce false teachings.

    Acts 20:30 — “Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.” Paul says here that even those from within the early church would start to teach false beliefs, or doctrines of demons. The best way Satan can deceive people is to introduce his teachings and make people believe they are following the Bible. Satan does not care if those teachings are mixed with truth — in fact, to deceive people, he mixes error with truth.

    Acts 20:31 — “Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears.” Paul warned them for three full years about these incredible events that would change Christianity forever. Two classes of Christians would be formed: those led by Satan while calling themselves Christians, and the true church. Babylon in the book of Revelation is the papacy, or the Catholic Church. Today, the Sunday-keeping churches that have rejected the first angel’s message of Revelation 14 are also Babylon — her daughters.

    Acts 20:32 — “And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.” Here, Paul says, “I commend you to the Bible,” since Babylon teaches some verses from the Bible mixed with some teachings from Satan.

    Babylon in the Book of Revelation: Advancing Satan’s Kingdom

    How can a church advance Satan’s kingdom? By teaching the same beliefs that the priests of Babylon — who worshipped demons — preached in their temples every Sunday. The fact that Christians today worship on Sunday, the very day the priests of Satan used to go to the temple in the days of ancient Babylon, reveals the fascinating power of deception. Babylon in the book of Revelation shows Christians unknowingly helping Satan’s kingdom.

    How can Christians advance Satan’s kingdom? When a pastor teaches that hell is forever, when the Bible says people will be destroyed in hell, he is teaching Zoroastrianism — a teaching not found in the Bible. Yet it is striking to see millions of Christians going to church on Sunday, dressed in their suits and ties, listening to a sermon with no idea they are hearing the same teaching the priests of Satan taught in the Babylonian kingdom around 650 BC, on that very same day.

    Even more troubling, people give tithes to pastors who teach them this counterfeit doctrine on Sunday mornings. Of course, those pastors also teach true things from the Bible, like the truth that Jesus died on the cross. But when these pastors teach beliefs rooted in pagan tradition, they are advancing Satan’s kingdom. Babylon in the book of Revelation shows Christians unknowingly helping heresies spread.

    Babylon in the Book of Revelation: What Are These False Beliefs?

    • Sunday worship
    • Eternal hell
    • Immortality of the soul
    • Secret rapture
    • Ten Commandments no longer binding
    • Once saved, always saved
    • All Christians go to heaven
    • Saved by grace without obedience

    Sunday worship
    Acts 18:4 — “And he reasoned in the synagogue every sabbath, and persuaded the Jews and the Greeks.” Paul and all the apostles kept the Sabbath all their lives.

    Eternal hell
    Matthew 10:28 — “And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.” God is able to destroy people in hell — they do not burn forever.

    Immortality of the soul
    John 11:14 — “Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead.” When people die, they sleep until Jesus resurrects them from the grave.

    Secret rapture
    Matthew 24:40 — “Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.”
    Luke 17:37 — “And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together.” Those who are “taken” are taken to be destroyed — taken to the supper of the birds.

    Revelation 19:17-18 — “And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God; That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.” When Jesus returns, birds eat the bodies of the wicked, who will have been destroyed at the brightness of His coming.

    Ten Commandments no longer binding
    Romans 7:12 — “Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.” If there are sinners today, it means the Ten Commandments are still valid. Jesus died on the cross because we break the Ten Commandments.

    Once saved, always saved
    If Jesus could delete the law, breaking it would no longer be sin — so why did Jesus die on the cross, if He could simply delete the law?

    Hebrews 10:38 — “Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.” Many Christians will not enter heaven, even while claiming to belong to Jesus.

    All Christians go to heaven
    Matthew 7:19 — “Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.”

    Saved by grace without obedience
    Most Christians, like most human beings, bear evil fruits: pride, selfishness, rudeness, unkindness, lying, seeking the first place, intolerance. These fruits prove that such persons are controlled by demons.

    Babylon in the Book of Revelation: Leave Babylon

    Do you think it is important to obey Jesus? In Revelation 18, Jesus commands us to leave Babylon. These are all fallen churches. The Catholic Church is the mother; the Sunday-keeping Protestant churches are the daughters of Babylon. They fell when Revelation 14’s first angel’s message was given, and they rejected it.

    Revelation 18:1-4 — “And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory. And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies. And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.”

    What is keeping you from leaving those fallen churches and following Jesus’s end-time movement? The Seventh-day Adventist Church is the true last movement of Jesus. Will you enter now?

    Repeat after me: Father God, please help me to study this message deeply and to know who Babylon is and who the true remnant church is. Father God, please help me to leave Babylon and accept the end-time truth of the three angels’ messages, in the name of Jesus. Amen.
