The Soon Coming Judgment Of God Upon America and How To Escape It 50
even he did not know what sin was without the law. Without the law it is impossible to know
what sin is because we do not have the mind of God. In Isaiah
55:8 the Lord states: “For my
thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.”
Under the New Covenant Jesus said he would place the law of God in our mind and in
our heart (Hebrews 8:8-10). Jesus did not change the law and he did not do away with it; He
simply promised to take what was written and place it in our minds and our hearts. The hard
truth is, if a person does not have God’s law written in their heart (if they can sin without guilt or
remorse), it is not because Jesus has failed to keep His promise but because that person has failed
to receive it.
Refusing to acknowledge the Ten Commandments does not leave us sinless. The Apostle
Paul stated: “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” (Roman 3:23) and
likewise the Apostle John said: “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive our selves, and the
truth is not in us” (1 John 1:8). If we believe the Bible to be the word off God then we must
accept what it says: We are all sinners, we have all sinned and we know what sin is from the law
of God, the Ten Commandments.
Believers Shall Be Deceived and Depart From The Faith
Those who do not acknowledge the Ten Commandments are being deceived. Jesus
warned us not to be deceived. He said that many deceivers shall come into the world (Mathew
24:4, 5, 11, 24). Timothy taught that these deceivers would be teaching doctrines of devils:
Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall
depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; (1
Timothy 4:1-2).
The Apostle Paul warns in 2 Thessalonians that before Jesus returns there would be a
falling away. To fall is to have sinned. The original sin of Adam and Eve is described as the fall.
To fall away is to turn back towards sin and embrace it, to reject God as the author of the law and
to reject the saving grace of Jesus Christ. When we reject God as the author of the law we are
opposing him and we are placing ourselves above Him just as Satan did. We are actually trying
to make ourselves to be gods just as Satan did when he rebelled in Heaven:
Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except
there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of
perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that
is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself
that he is God. Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these
things? (2 Thessalonians 2:3-5)
