The First Attack against the Lord was against His Law

[robert derrick]

Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?

And so, the enemy of God first calls into question the commandment and law of the Lord.

For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.

It becomes an open attack against God's law and it's intent, for the express purpose of making God's born son into an open enemy.

The first attack against God on earth, was an attack against His law.

 

[robert derrick]

Here is how the law of Christ is attacked:

1. Call into the question the intent of the Lawgiver, that His law's only purpose is to condemn sin and make the righteous unjustified.

2. By separating the law from commandment of God, so that the commandment is good, but the law is evil.

3. By declaring the law of Christ to be undoable: It is too perfect and so impossible to do.

4. By declaring the law of Christ on paper to be dead, but now only exists in the minds of them that name His name: Becoming a law unto ourselves.

5. By declaring the law of God on paper is incomplete, so that men add their own commandments and traditions to perfect it in the flesh.

6. By not making difference between the changed law of Moses into that of Christ, so that the law of Christ is corrupted with the blood of bulls and goats.

The law and commandment of God are not separated ever from one another:

What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.

But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead. For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.

There is no separation between the commandment and law of God: Scripture speaks of the law and commandment of God as being exactly the same as the other.

Even like the Godhead, the law and commandment of God are one.

When the law is attacked, so is the commandment, and so is the Lawgiver: Jesus Christ.

Good understanding giveth favour: but the way of transgressors is hard.

Sinners and transgressors attack the law of the Lord as being too hard to keep, and so they declare the Lord too perfect to be done in the flesh, and even seeking to do so is at best foolish and at worst self-righteousness.

The reason sinners attack the law as being to hard to do bodily, is because they are blind to doing the perfect law of liberty inwardly in the spirit.

Being spiritually blind, all the see in the law of the Lord is the flesh, and having nothing to do with obeying it in the spirit:

Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

Since sinners do not spiritually purify themselves, then they themselves certainly cannot do the law outwardly. And since they cannot, they declare no man can on earth.

But the pure in heart certainly do ascend the hill of the Lord, with clean hands according to the law of the Spirit and of Christ, both in the spirit and on paper.

Korah attacked the law of God given by Moses, even as the law of Christ given by His apostles is attacked today:

And they gathered themselves together against Moses and against Aaron, and said unto them, Ye take too much upon you, seeing all the congregation are holy, every one of them, and the LORD is among them: wherefore then lift ye up yourselves above the congregation of the LORD?

We declare ourselves holy with God in ourselves, and no law written by other flesh and blood as us, should be judging us.

And so, the law of God on paper is declared dead and has no more power than the law of our own minds, so long as we name the name of Christ and believe for ourselves what is good and evil.

By our own faith and righteousness, we make ourselves a law unto ourselves, and the only law of Scripture we agree with, is what is already written in our own minds.

The law on paper is dead to us, and only the law of our own minds is alive to us.

The law of God is attacked by declaring it incomplete in the flesh, and so men add their own commandments and traditions to it.

Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.

But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances, (Touch not; taste not; handle not; Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men?

The Jews first did so by adding many rules of their own to the keeping of the law, whether ceremonial or in practice of the Sabbath.

The holiness Christians do so by adding many of their own carnal ordinances of the flesh, in the name of being holiness to the Lord inwardly and outwardly.

The devil doesn't just take away from the law of God, but also has great pleasure in adding to it men's own personal standards of how to keep the law perfectly, by improving on certain points and bodily practice.

Adam and Eve were the first ones to add to the law and declare it unlawful to touch, taste, or handle the fruit that God only commanded not to eat.

6.
For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.

And no man putteth new wine into old bottles; else the new wine will burst the bottles, and be spilled, and the bottles shall perish.

The law itself is attacked by refusing to acknowledge the Law of Christ is not the law of Moses, so that any law of God is condemned as contrary to grace.

The law of Christ is also corrupted by adding anything of the law of Moses to it, or by making the law of Christ the same as that of Moses.

That is Judaizing the NT with the old blood of bulls and goats.

And he slew it; and Moses took the blood, and put it upon the horns of the altar round about with his finger, and purified the altar, and poured the blood at the bottom of the altar, and sanctified it, to make reconciliation upon it.

And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.

And it is yet far more evident: for that after the similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest, Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life.

And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.

The law ordains the blood of sacrifice for cleaning and remission of sin: to teach the law of Moses for that of Christ is to teach the blood of bulls and goats as that of the Lamb of God.

The first attack against God on earth, was an attack against His law.

And today they are saying the Bible writers had agendas and didn't always tell the truth.

That is true. Good point.

Those who preach a created christ, say that the writers of the Greek transcripts, which is all we have, usurped all the Hebrew Scripture of the NT, where the name yehovah was written just as many times as in the OT.

They say Yehova was replaced by Kurios on purpose.

OP^

The first attack against God was killing Gods Word, (The Lord), by turning Gods Truth into a Lie, while the Foundation of the Earth was being established.

Isa 14:
[12] How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
[13] For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
[14] I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.

Rev 13:
[8] And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

John 8:
[44] Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

Just ignore this foolishness and walk away from these false teachers. Jesus said to let the blind lead the blind but avoid them.

True, which word is His law and commandment:

For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.

But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.

They infiltrate our churches and teach this stuff.

 

[Raccoon1010]

Attacks against Jesus were against his authority and birthright. I doubt it had much to do with the law.

 

[robert derrick]

The authority of God is His law, commandment, and word.

He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou?

The first assault on the law by the Pharisees was by changing the law to add to it their own personal rules, and preached that for the law of the Lord.

When Jesus began rebuking their added rules, by turning to what is written in the law, they then attacked Him.

The authority Jesus was claiming was that of the law as written, which the Lord had given to Moses on the mount.

The reason they had Him crucified was all about the law they were corrupting, and holding over the nation of Israel for personal bondage to their rule.

The first attack of any enemy against the Lord, is against His law.

Antinomianism began with Lucifer in heaven, then to Adam, then to the children of Israel in wildness, and continues through the church today.

Yes sir it truly was. But you know, satan phrased it in a different way to Eve, what is really the issue that was being discussed Rob?
