Sabbath Message 070742120

Dear Friends,

We are now into the Reading of the Law Sequence as explained in the Trumpets Message. 

The Reading of the Ten Commandments begins today with Law and the First Commandment (No. 253)  (Part I).  It is an extended study over three parts and is critical that we understand the function of the First Commandment and its application to the One True God and to no other being.  I have actually heard and seen some blasphemers in the Churches of God state that the First Commandment applies to Christ as he was the god of the OT. What ignorance of the Bible Texts. Yet morons in the WCG offshoots put up with that nonsense. Others claim that Christ was a coeternal God present with the One True God from before the beginning of the Creation. These claims merely serve to demonstrate that the WCG system had no real training in theology and logic and simply did not and do not understand the meaning of the language of the Bible text. The Bible is quite clear that there is only One True God and He sent Jesus Christ and knowing them is eternal life (Jn 17:3). Only He, as One True God, is immortal (1Tim. 6:16). No man has seen Him or heard His voice or ever can see Him.   Now if Christ was coeternal then there are logically within the meaning of language Two True Gods, and not one, and he is immortal also, which the Bible says is not the case.

The Name of the One True God ab-origine is Eloah as we see from many Bible texts (cf. Deut. 32; Prov. 30:4-5).  That name is singular and admits of no plurality. That God Eloah extended Himself with the creation of the Elohim as sons of God.  He thus became Ha Elohim as the Centre of the Elohim. With that Act He began the Creation of God.  He then created the Earth and summoned all the sons of God to be present with their Morning Stars (Job 38:4-7) and they all had access to the Throne of God from the beginning and Satan was among them (Job 1:6; 2:1).

It is because of this heresy extending in the WCG that the Sardis system is consigned to the Second Resurrection and prevented from keeping the Temple Calendar (cf. Connection Re the Nature of God and the Temple Calendar (No. 156E) and so also the Laodicaean system who became Trinitarian in 1978. Both these errors carry serious punishments with them and consign their people to the Second Resurrection. The Bible is quite clear on the consequences.

Other texts for study are:
How God Became a Family (No. 187).
The Names of God (No. 116).
Names of God in Islam (No. 054).

Our capacity to attain to the First Resurrection (No. 143A) depends on our diligence in the Reading of the Law (L1) and then in our keeping and teaching the Commandments of God and the Faith and Testimony of Christ (Isa. 8:20; Rev. 12:17; 14:12).

Had the Churches of God read the law as commanded each Sabbath Year they would not have suffered such massive losses, failure and persecution under the previous leaders. Each person has only themselves to blame for their sin and failure (cf. The Plan of Salvation (No. 001A)).
