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.

Sola Fidei is a Devil's Lie, and so many love it!

"The just shall live by faith..." 
is a declaration of fact about the just, i.e. they shall live by faith;
IT IS NOT a prescription for how the condemned can be justified by God.
THIS is ELEMENTARY.

Sola Fidei is a Devil's Lie, and so many love it!

Sola fidei, the 16th century reformation doctrine - 'faith alone in Christ' for one's justification before God - is a great LIE introduced by the devil to corrupt the mind of God's children.

My LEGAL condemnation took place in the garden of Eden.

My LEGAL justification took place on the cross.

If my legal justification hadn't taken place at the cross... I am undone. Will Christ die one more time to take away my sins? That great double imputation took place at the cross - ALL my sins were legally imputed to Christ, and Christ's perfect righteousness was LEGALLY imputed to me.

Those who reject that their LEGAL justification took place at the cross... i.e. that their sins were not imputed to Christ and He died in the place as a legal substitute... when do they hope to have their sins taken away? That Christ would die one more time for them??? They have just missed the ONLY occasion ordained of God for the taking away of sins... foolish.

Deceived people insist that their LEGAL justification takes place at their believing in Jesus Christ! They think those still under the state of condemnation is capable of believing to have their condemnation removed, i.e. justified by God! And they still foam at the mouth that it is by free grace!

My legal condemnation was applied and becomes PERSONAL at my conception... being conceived and born in sin.

My legal justification was applied and becomes PERSONAL at my regeneration... being called out of my native state of sin and condemnation.

A sinner's personal condemnation IS -IS - IS EXPERIENCED through his acts of sins and unrighteousness, which MANIFEST his native state of condemnation.

My personal justification IS -IS - IS EXPERIENCED through my act of believing in Christ Jesus, which EVIDENCES my state of justification by God's free grace.
