![DO SEVENTH DAY ADVENTISTS, JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES, AND MORMONS PUT A CURSE ON THEIR FOLLOWERS? [3 of 4] The problem isn’t the Old Testament Law. What was the purpose of God’s law? As Paul says in Romans, the law is holy and righteous because it came from God. However, the reason the law can become a curse is because we humans decide to take it on, even though we are doomed to fail at that. And that's what we need to own up to. So, why did God still put the law out there? The Apostle Paul says this: "The law became our guardian to lead us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith." Our inability to keep the law, even just the Ten Commandments, should drive
us to the commonsense conclusion that we need a savior. It should tell us we need help from God, because we cannot achieve an eternity spent with Him by our own actions—so, that fact drives us to humble ourselves and accept Christ’s offer of help. We're not to attempt getting ourselves justified by trying to live a perfect life like Christ did, because then we would not need Jesus. Besides, a sinless life is not possible for any person other than Christ. Instead, we are justified by our faith in Him, which is from His justification through being completely innocence under the law, while also taking on death at the cross for God’s glory and our salvation. Jesus was actually able to keep the law, so we must rely on Him taking
our place as condemned sinners. We must have faith in Him.
Then we receive God’s pardon. That is God’s law. | image tagged in adventist,mormon,jehovah's witness,god,bible,cult | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/5u2qmr.jpg)
![DO SEVENTH DAY ADVENTISTS, JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES, AND MORMONS PUT A CURSE ON THEIR FOLLOWERS? [2 of 4] Paul continues speaking about those who reject the free gift of salvation from Jesus by deciding to also base their salvation on even one tiny part of Old Testament law—by doing so they must take on the entire law: “For it is written, 'Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do EVERYTHING written in the Book of the Law.” Again, Paul is saying we would have to keep the entire list of Old Testament laws if we are going to put ourselves under even one part of the law. What's the problem with that? We can’t do it! No one can. Paul says this: "Clearly no one is justified before God
by the law.” How do our modern false teachers get around that? They can't. So, why are they still preaching this stuff today when it is clearly not from the Lord? Paul continues: "The righteous will live by faith." Not by works! Keeping the law is not basing your way to heaven on faith in Jesus. It is relying our own works—not what Jesus did for us. The Bible says, "The man who does these things will have to live by them." But Christ redeemed us from the curse by becoming a curse for us. The Bible says, "Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree." We hang ourselves on a tree when we take on Old Testament law, even though Jesus saved us from not being able to follow it perfectly. Of course, we still strive to live like Jesus out appreciation for what He did. God redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham would also come to the
Gentiles (you and I). He did so—by faith alone in Jesus Christ—that
we might receive the promise of the Spirit; not of the law! | image tagged in adventist,mormon,jehovah's witness,god,bible,jesus | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/5u2ooz.jpg)
![DO SEVENTH DAY ADVENTISTS, JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES, AND MORMONS PUT A CURSE ON THEIR FOLLOWERS? [1 of 4] Yes! According to Galatians, two thousand years ago Paul dealt with the heretical claim that making it to heaven supposedly takes two things: Jesus and following Old Testament Law. Unfortunately, two centuries later, this idea has been repackaged by false faiths like those mentioned above, yet Christians and others give them a pass on the same non-biblical teachings that Paul warned against. The apostle said this to the Galatian people, who are just like the followers of today’s religions that teach the same heresy:; "Have you suffered so much for nothing? Does God give you His Spirit and work miracles among you because you observe the law [No!]. Or, is it because you believe what you heard [about Jesus? Yes!] The Scripture foresaw that God would justify the Gentiles [non-Jews] by faith [in Jesus]… ALL WHO RELY ON OBSERVING THE LAW ARE UNDER A CURSE.” So whenever you hear people like the leadership of the Seventh Day Adventists, Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormons, and many, many others claim “Jesus is the way—BUT you must keep certain laws or religious rules,” they are attempting to preach a curse on you. I'm not
saying that. It’s in God's Word. We only need Jesus! | image tagged in adventist,mormon,jehovah's witness,god,bible,jesus | made w/ Imgflip meme maker](http://i.imgflip.com/5u2o9q.jpg)
