The Dangers of Sabbatarianism, Judaizers, and the Hebrew Roots Movements!
Here is the Foreword of a new publication we now have available in the book store! This new book addresses the questions brought about by Sabbath day keepers, Hebrew Roots movements which follow Old Testament Law and covenants, and Judaizers which proclaim that such things are required for your salvation! The inerrant WORD OF GOD must be the final place we go for all of the answers to these questions brought about by those who choose to glorify Moses over Jesus, and observe law over grace!
FOREWORD
There seems to be a trend occurring in the church these days that must be addressed by the authority of the scriptures and with the precedents set down for us in the form of apostolic traditions. Jesus Christ is the chief cornerstone of HIS church and laid upon that is the foundations of the apostle’s doctrines and traditions. In view of the many philosophies of today’s religious world, the gospel is indeed the straight and narrow way, which leads unto life everlasting!
Today’s sleepy Laodicean church world has accepted another gospel. From the view of The Way of Jesus Christ and his gospel, it is evident that there are now many “gospels”. Paul the apostle warned us that these are not another, but the gospel of Christ that has been perverted and altered for the sake of gain, ego, or pride! It is shocking to see that the gospel has been altered to one side of extreme grace so that anything goes! It doesn’t matter how you live, talk or act as Jesus will still love and receive you! And if it isn’t that one hand of greasy grace, then it has become the other side of legalism and salvation by works of the Old Testament law. So many believers who are weak in the faith have fallen into the traps of both! We MUST know the Word of God and like the Bereans in the book of Acts, search the scriptures to see if the things we are hearing are truly from the word of God! If it does not have a firm foundation in the doctrines once delivered to the saints of the early church, then it is from the enemy of our souls who uses the guiles of men, wresting and twisting the scriptures to their own destruction! There are many discussions and warnings to be heard about the greasy grace exit, but the focus of this book is to discuss the one exit from the true gospel to the slippery slope of legalism and law which leads men to bondage and fear, and away from grace and faith! In the following pages we will look at the most common traps used by legalistic Hebrew roots movements, Saturday as the sabbath religions, Old Testament feast day observers, and the show of religiosity concerning dietary laws of the old covenant given to Moses.
Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9. Not of works, lest any man should boast.
