Things New and Old

Ancient truths revealed in the Scriptures are often forgotten, disbelieved or distorted, and therefore lost in the passage of time. Such ancient truths when rediscovered and relearned are 'new' additions to the treasury of ancient truths.

Christ showed many new things to the disciples, things prophesied by the prophets of old but hijacked and perverted by the elders and their traditions, but which Christ reclaimed and returned to His people.

Many things taught by the Apostles of Christ have been perverted or substituted over the centuries. Such fundamental doctrines like salvation by grace and justification have been hijacked and perverted and repudiated by sincere Christians. These doctrines need to be reclaimed and restored to God's people.

There are things both new and old here. "Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things"
2Ti 2:7.

The Passover versus The Lord's Supper

 

October 12, 2014
Mr Yeoh insisted that the ordinance the Lord Jesus Christ instituted for His church is called the Passover...and going around harassing the sheep with his fable. I gave him a good and fair hearing... then I wrote the email below to him. He espoused worse errors... unless one partakes of the Passover, he has no eternal life, THAT IS, partaking of the Passover is necessary to have eternal life. And his proof text is John 6:54 "Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day." Typical error - a statement of fact is twisted into a statement of conditional offer. Same type of error as believing is the condition to have eternal life.)

Mr Yeoh,

Some simple facts for your consideration: (I read and study from the KJ Bible)

The word passover is used in the NT not less than 27 times...
- 4 times in Matthew (26:2,17,18,19)
- 5 times in Mark (14:1,12 - twice,14,16)
- 7 times in Luke (22:1,7,8,11,13,15; 2:41)
- 9 times in John (2:13,23; 6:4; 11:55 - twice; 12:1; 13:1; 18:28,39; 19:14)
- Once in 1Corinthians. (5:7)
- Once in Hebrews. (11:28)

NOT once is the word "passover" ever used to describe the ordinance instituted by the Lord Jesus Christ for the new covenant. The word "passover" is always used in connection with that Jewish feast instituted for Israel in Exodus. The occurrence in 1Cor 5:7 refers to Christ Jesus as the passover. Check the facts for yourself.... I have listed all the occurrences of the word "passover" in the NT.

- John 2:13 "And the Jews' passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem"
- John 6:4 "And the passover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh."
- John 11:55 "And the Jews' passover was nigh at hand: and many went out of the country up to Jerusalem before the passover, to purify themselves."

Open your eyes, sir - "... the Jew's passover... a feast of the Jews..."

You boast about believing the Bible. Believe these HARD FACTS then, and stop being DECEIVED and DELUDED and MISGUIDED by false teachers.

1Cor 11:20 "When ye come together therefore into one place, this is not to eat the Lord's supper."

1Cor 10:21 "Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils."

The Scriptures by DIVINE INSPIRATION call the new covenant ordinance instituted by the Lord Jesus Christ by the name of the Lord's supper, and the Lord's table.

To believe lies is bad enough. To go around pushing lies as truth is much worse. REPENT! REPENT! Remember the warning of Christ... "Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves."

In the name of Jesus Christ, and based on His Scriptures, I have warned you of your errors.

You have to decide what you want to do with the FACTS I set before you. Don’t boast that you believe what the Bible says. You DON'T, but are deceived. You have been INDOCTRINATED by some false teachers, and are oblivious of it!!!

2Tim 2:7 “Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things.

For the cause of Christ, and His truth.
