GOD TAKES AWAY The First, That HE May ESTABLISH The Second

Romans 16:17-18

NOW, I URGE YOU, Brethren (Fellow Believers), NOTE Those (FALSE Teachers, FALSE Believers, AND Unbelievers) Who CAUSE Divisions AND Offenses (THROUGH Satan), CONTRARY TO THE DOCTRINE (The Gospel OF Jesus Christ); Which YOU (Believers) LEARNED, AND AVOID Them (FALSE Teachers, FALSE Believers, AND Unbelievers). FOR Those Who ARE Such, DO NOT SERVE Our LORD Jesus Christ; BUT, (Serve) Their Own Belly (THROUGH Satan), AND BY Smooth Words (THROUGH Satan), AND Flattering Speech (THROUGH Satan), DECEIVE (THROUGH Satan) The Hearts OF The Simple (Yet-To-Be-Believers AND Unbelievers)!

1 Corinthians 1:18

For THE MESSAGE OF THE CROSS (The Gospel Of Jesus Christ), IS Foolishness, TO Those (FALSE Teachers, FALSE Believers, AND Unbelievers) Who Are Perishing (IN The Lake Of Fire, The Second Death, EVERLASTING CONDEMNATION); BUT, TO Us (Believers), Who Are BEING SAVED (And Will Be, IN GOD Almighty’s Immediate Presence, WITH Jesus Christ, The Holy Spirit, GOD Almighty’s Holy Angels, AND All The Rest Of The Children Of GOD Almighty, FOR ETERNITY, FOREVER), IT IS THE POWER OF GOD (GOD Almighty)!

2 Corinthians 3:4-6

And We (Believers) Have Such TRUST, THROUGH Christ, TOWARD GOD (GOD Almighty)! NOT, That We (Believers) Are Sufficient, Of Ourselves, TO Think Of ANYTHING, AS BEING, From Ourselves; BUT Our Sufficiency, IS FROM GOD (GOD Almighty), Who Also, MADE Us (Believers), Sufficient (Ample), AS MINISTERS OF THE NEW COVENANT (The Gospel Of Jesus Christ); NOT Of The Letter (The Old Covenant), BUT, OF THE SPIRIT (The Holy Spirit, AND The Gospel Of Jesus Christ); FOR The Letter (The Old Covenant) KILLS, BUT THE SPIRIT (The Holy Spirit, AND The Gospel Of Jesus Christ) GIVES LIFE (Everlasting Life, IN GOD Almighty’s Immediate Presence, WITH Jesus Christ, The Holy Spirit, GOD Almighty’s Holy Angels, AND All The Rest Of The Children Of GOD Almighty, FOR ETERNITY, FOREVER)!

Galatians 3:22-25

BUT, The Scripture (The Holy Bible) Has CONFINED All (Mankind), Under Sin, That THE PROMISE, BY FAITH, IN Jesus Christ (The New Covenant), Might Be GIVEN, TO Those (Believers) Who BELIEVE (IN The Gospel Of Jesus Christ)!

BUT, BEFORE FAITH (The New Covenant) CAME, We (Believers) Were KEPT Under Guard, By The Law (The Old Covenant), KEPT FOR THE FAITH (The New Covenant), Which Would AFTERWARD, BE REVEALED!

Therefore, The Law (The Old Covenant) Was Our Tutor (Our Instructor), TO BRING Us (Believers), TO Christ (The New Covenant); That We (Believers) Might Be JUSTIFIED, BY FAITH (IN The Gospel Of Jesus Christ)! BUT, AFTER FAITH (The New Covenant) HAS COME; We (Believers) Are NO Longer, Under A Tutor (The Old Covenant)!

Colossians 2:13-14, 16-18, 20, 22b-23

AND YOU (Believers), Being Dead, IN Your Trespasses (Your Sins), And The Uncircumcision Of Your Flesh (The Old Covenant); HE (GOD Almighty) HAS MADE ALIVE, TOGETHER, WITH HIM (Jesus); Having FORGIVEN YOU (Believers), All Trespasses (All Sin), Having WIPED OUT The Handwriting Of Requirements (The Old Covenant); THAT WAS AGAINST Us (Believers), WHICH WAS CONTRARY TO Us (Believers)! And HE (Jesus) Has TAKEN IT (The Old Covenant), Out Of The Way; Having NAILED IT (The Old Covenant), TO THE CROSS (Jesus’ Crucifixion, Resurrection, And Subsequent, Ascension)!

SO, Let NO One (FALSE Teachers, FALSE Believers, AND Unbelievers), JUDGE YOU (Believers), IN Food, OR IN Drink, OR Regarding A Festival, OR A New Moon, OR Sabbaths; Which Are A Shadow Of THINGS TO COME; BUT, THE SUBSTANCE, IS OF CHRIST (The New Covenant)!

Let NO One (FALSE Teachers, FALSE Believers, AND Unbelievers) CHEAT YOU (Believers) Of Your Reward (For GOD Almighty’s Good Works Performed, THROUGH Us), Taking Delight (THROUGH Satan), IN FALSE Humility (THROUGH Satan), And Worship Of (Fallen) Angels (Satan, the fallen angels, and demons), INTRUDING INTO THOSE THINGS, Which He (FALSE Teachers, FALSE Believers, AND Unbelievers) Has NOT Seen; Vainly Puffed Up, By His Fleshly Mind (THROUGH Satan)!

Therefore, IF YOU (Believers), DIED WITH CHRIST, From The Basic Principles Of The World; WHY, As Though, Living IN The World (Satan’s World); Do YOU (Believers) Subject Yourselves, TO Regulations, According TO The Commandments (The Old Covenant) And Doctrines Of Men (THROUGH Satan)? These Things, INDEED, Have An APPEARANCE Of Wisdom (THROUGH Satan); IN Self-Imposed Religion, FALSE Humility, And Neglect Of The Body; BUT, Are Of NO Value, AGAINST The Indulgence Of The Flesh (THROUGH Satan)!

2 Timothy 2:23-25a

BUT, (Believers) AVOID Foolish And Ignorant Disputes (From FALSE Teachers, FALSE Believers, AND Unbelievers, THROUGH Satan); KNOWING That They (Foolish And Ignorant Disputes) Generate Strife (THROUGH Satan)! And A Servant (Believers) Of THE LORD (Jesus Christ) MUST NOT Quarrel (Dispute); BUT, Be Gentle To All (Mankind), Able To Teach (The Gospel Of Jesus Christ), Patient, IN Humility Correcting (Rebuking) Those (FALSE Teachers, FALSE Believers, AND Unbelievers) Who Are IN Opposition (THROUGH Satan)!

Titus 3:9-11

BUT, AVOID Foolish Disputes, Genealogies, Contentions, And Strivings, About The Law (The Old Covenant); For They Are Unprofitable And Useless! REJECT A Divisive (Dissentious) Man (FALSE Teachers, FALSE Believers, AND Unbelievers), AFTER The First And Second Admonition (Rebuking); KNOWING, That Such A Person (FALSE Teachers, FALSE Believers, AND Unbelievers), IS Warped And Sinning (THROUGH Satan), Being Self-Condemned (TO The Lake Of Fire, The Second Death, EVERLASTING CONDEMNATION)!

Hebrews 8:13

IN THAT, HE (GOD Almighty) SAYS, “A NEW COVENANT,” HE (GOD Almighty) Has MADE The First (The Old Covenant), OBSOLETE (Disused)! NOW, What IS Becoming OBSOLETE (Disused), And Growing Old; IS READY, TO VANISH AWAY (FOREVER)!

Hebrews 10:4-10, 14, 18

For IT IS NOT Possible, That The Blood Of Bulls And Goats (The Old Covenant) Could TAKE AWAY (Cleanse) Sins!

Therefore, WHEN HE (Jesus Christ) CAME INTO The World, HE SAID: “Sacrifice AND Offering (The Old Covenant), YOU (GOD Almighty) Did NOT Desire; BUT, A BODY (The Natural Body) YOU (GOD Almighty) Have PREPARED, For ME (Jesus Christ)!

IN Burnt Offerings And Sacrifices, For Sin (The Old Covenant); YOU (GOD Almighty) Had NO Pleasure! THEN, I (Jesus Christ) SAID, ‘Behold, I HAVE COME, IN THE VOLUME OF THE BOOK (The Holy Bible), IT IS WRITTEN OF ME (Jesus Christ), TO DO YOUR WILL, O GOD (GOD Almighty)!’”

Previously SAYING, “Sacrifice AND Offering, Burnt Offerings, And Offerings For Sin (The Old Covenant), YOU (GOD Almighty) Did NOT Desire, NOR Had Pleasure, IN Them” (Which ARE Offered, According TO The Law, The Old Covenant); THEN HE (Jesus Christ) SAID, “Behold, I HAVE COME TO DO YOUR WILL, O GOD (GOD Almighty)!”

HE (GOD Almighty) TAKES AWAY The First (The Old Covenant); THAT HE (GOD Almighty) MAY ESTABLISH THE SECOND (The New Covenant)!

BY THAT WILL (GOD Almighty’s Will), We (Believers) Have Been SANCTIFIED, THROUGH THE OFFERING OF THE BODY OF JESUS CHRIST (The New Covenant), ONCE FOR ALL (Believers)!

FOR BY ONE OFFERING (Jesus’ Crucifixion And Subsequent Resurrection), HE (Jesus) Has PERFECTED, FOREVER (ONCE And NEVER Needed, Again), Those (Believers) Who Are BEING SANCTIFIED! NOW, Where There IS REMISSION (Cleansing) Of These (Believers); There IS NO Longer, An Offering For Sin (The Old Covenant)!

1 Peter 2:15-17

FOR THIS IS, THE WILL OF GOD (GOD Almighty); That By DOING GOOD (GOD Almighty’s Good Works Performed, THROUGH Us), YOU (Believers) May PUT TO SILENCE, The Ignorance Of Foolish Men (FALSE Teachers, FALSE Believers, AND Unbelievers), AS FREE (From The Bondage Of Sin, THROUGH Satan); Yet, NOT Using LIBERTY (THIS Freedom), As A Cloak For Vice (Committing Sin); BUT, AS Bondservants (Jesus Christ’s LIGHT) Of GOD (GOD Almighty)!

HONOR All People!

LOVE The Brotherhood (Fellow Believers)!

FEAR GOD (GOD Almighty)!

HONOR THE KING (Jesus Christ)!
