Preaching thru the Bible in one Year Book II.

There are several movements afloat in Christianity today that are attempts to disguise and cover up what is really happening, the Falling Away from the real God, the real Christ, the real Gospel, and the real Bible. These superficial but popular movements created of men and not God know how to attract attention away from the real Bible and faith once for all delivered to the saints, promoting the 5 stages of the falling away in II Timothy 4:4,5: (1) intolerance to real and sound Bible doctrine, very often the Scofield theology used as a substitute for Bible; (2) wants, wishes, and desires of church members and others taking the place of Bible and God fulfilling again what God told His people in Jeremiah—“You have committed two evils, forsaken Me the fountain of living waters, and hewn out cisterns, broken cisterns that will hold no water, some of those broken cisterns being (a) Scofield theology to replace Bible, (b) Christian Zionism, (c) Messianic Judaism, (d) the ignorance like in I Corinthians 14 that makes a local, even big church a legend in their own mind that the Word of God came to them only or came out of them and allowing them to adapt a falling away mentality that the local church is greater than any larger assemblies of the body of Christ, even the big one written in heaven, the church of the firstborn Christ.

Let us get it straight according to the Word of God, for the Christian recommended and proper attitude toward National Israel is:

I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.

2 God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel, saying,

3 Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life.

4 But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal.

5 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.

6 And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.

7 What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded

8 (According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day.

9 And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock, and a recompence unto them:

10 Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their back alway.

11 I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy.

12 Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness?

13 For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office:

14 If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and might save some of them.

15 For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?

16 For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.

17 And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree;

18 Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.

19 Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in.

20 Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:

21 For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee.

22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.

23 And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again.

24 For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be graffed into their own olive tree?

25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.

26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:

27 For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.

28 As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers’ sakes.

Bottom line between the pride during the fulness of the Gentiles and the appreciation of Abraham and Jacob (Israel) are beloved with the original election as God’s original people; and do not be suckered into the Scofield theology that all the national Israel is going to be suddenly saved; for the real story of Zechariah 23 is that during the last world war one half of Jerusalem will be saved.

You are going to have to get more serious in 2019 about this matter of Christian faith, or the IN CHRIST of faith in what He did on the cross for forgiveness of sins as well as in the Resurrection of the dead to share eternal life, and for the faith once for all delivered to the saints in the Bible which is Word of God. MTD will absolutely not do it, as that belief system is very close to no faith in God, Christ, and the Bible at all. As preachers like Peter Marshall prophesied (preached) in the 50’s, “If you stand for nothing, you will fall for anything”, but not heeded by church members or American society during since the falling away from real God, real Christ, and real Bible; and now fulfilled from the parents and teachers in the lives of the millenniums–a belief system in almost nothing except the American Democratic faith. As American citizens of equality under the law, we can be grateful for that; however for Christian life and living according to the ALL Scripture method and movement it is vastly inadequate. Any Christian that strives to live life with only that faith in a Civic Religion is like an automobile firing on only one cylinder. And to help are the following–
