how to discern the false

martinlawrencescott · Nov 19, 2012

I finished my study, but if you're still interested, I think if you type in Heifer in the search on the site, you'll find my study, or at least part of it. When I talk about more than one atonement, I'm talking strictly about the Old Testament. All the sacrifices and atonement of the Old Testament were fulfilled in one- in Christ. However, just because the animals of the Old Testament and their sacrifice are done away with in Christ, doesn't mean the symbolism thereof is lost today. If Jesus is the lamb, then according to proper exegetical study, the same educational symbolism should apply to the other sacrifices. My goal was to find out, if the heifer wasn't symbolic of Jesus, who or what was the heifer symbolic of? I actually believe the heifer was symbolic of the church. An interesting study as to how symbolism of the Old Testament can be prophetic of the new, even when all sacrifices are completed in Christ.

in 1Tim. 4:1 we se that many will depart from thhe faith.
There are some things that can help a Christian to avoid this.
Jesus said in Matt. 24: and Lk. 21 that he that endures to the end shall be saved. Matt. 10:22

The biggest---BIGGEST-- thing we have to do is love God. He is more important to us than money and things
If you love someone you will endure their faults. Dads and moms don't for the most part get rid of children. They do the best they can to help them and that is love also.
Jesus love is the ultimate. He died for us. We will lay down our lives for him if need be.

Peter really paid dearly when he said he didn't know the man when was asked when they arrested Jesus.
Judas sold Jesus for money, he realized how important Jesus was and threw down the money. it was his guilt that killed himself.

So the first and most important part is do we love him. We will then be his faithful and loyal followers. We are not called to be puppets but true heart believers who God is going to bless and do great things for now and through all eternity.

If you haven't had a real encounter with God through Jesus. All you have to do is tell him you love him and need him to reveal himself to you. He is in full anticipation more than you know to do that. You have my prayers to join with you in that. nxt time more helps to discernment.

Many from the first church departed from the faith when persecutions came. Then the darkness came down on all creation. The masses today have never known the true faith that they could depart from it. Christ is sending two prophets to proclaim and show the faith that Christ taught. they come to finish the second half of the confirming of the covenant of Messiah In that day the Lord again will pour out His spirit upon his servants. Then they will know the difference between the spirit of man pretending and the Spirit of God come with Power and authority.

That is all a bunch of malarky. The Church from day one at Pentecost 1st century has never lost ,added too, changed or left out any of it's Doctrinal Teachings,the reason being is that we have the assurance from Jesus that He will always protect His Church from doctrinal error.If you don't believe Jesus or think He made a mistake or changed His mind would you give me that verse or verses , passage [ s ] from Holy Scripture?

Why don't you believe this? If you say that you believe it, then why aren't you doing it?
