Destinedtoberevealed Shines A Light On Christian Exceptionalism- And Asks “Do you at least realize now what you’ve done”?
.jpg)
Christian Exceptionalism-Or Self Righteous Deception
False teachers in the Church like to be seen as having the role of being God’s ordained teachers, or prophets. Once they have obtained this cult like status, people no longer even think for themselves. As well they sometimes violently protect the belief system and the leader(s) that they unwittingly worship.
With the tactics above employed it is easy for false teachers in the Church to masquerade using a disguising pretense, and thus cloak or hide a self-serving agenda, under the pretext of operating as the servant or spokesperson of God.
False teachers in the Church – Self Imposed & Exalted positions Of Control Through Deception
There are many manipulative techniques used by false teachers in the Church that enable them to be in control; few question their position of power or authority, as they are led to believe that it is God ordained.
False teachers in the Church use suggestive words and emotional conditioning through lighting, soft music and or a teary eyed plea. These are some of the tactics employed to manipulate people to respond in a certain manner.
False teachers in the Church deceive by omission, this is when they leave out some of the truth, to present their truth. This is also known as propaganda.
False teachers in the Church are masters at seduction. They use their voice, stance, confidence and image to grab the attention of a crowd and keep it. With almost a magical charm they can allure or captivate the audience with a hypnotic like manipulation of the truth.
To expose the false teachers in the church, God’s people must put on the mind of Christ, in order to shine the light of His Gospel on the deception presented as truth that leads to darkness.
So many people base their Christian security and knowledge of scripture on the vain words of the false teachers in the Church. The deceptive teachings of men that are without the Spirit of God prevent their followers from ever having a true knowledge of Christ, that only comes through the Baptism of the Holy Spirit.
John 15:26-27 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me: And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning.
Our teacher ultimately is the Holy Spirit that Christ sent to us. Once we have the infilling of His Spirit we can know the truth that sets us free from the bondage of deceit, false hope and outrageous illusions.
Our greatest desires should be to receive the Comforter that enables us to understand Christ’s testimony of truth, as we seek first the kingdom of God (James 4:3-4; Math 6:33).
John 16:13-14 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

The Christian Identity Crisis
Because Born Again Believers Are The True Israel of God, They Have The Spirit Of Truth And Are Not Deceived
Like Israel after the flesh that had rejected the Father, so too would these children of Judah reject the Lord and forfeit the right to be redeemed, or to be affectionately called the Israel of God (Jer 7:11; Math 21:13; Jer 7:11; John 1:9-14; Rev 2:9; Rev 3:9). Born again believers are the true Israel of God, for we worship Him in Spirit and in truth.
Anyone with Spiritual discernment in Christ, knows that He declared the false house of Judah to be desolate, their house was declared desolate as was their religion (Math 23:38; Acts 26:5; Gal 1:13-14).
Christ came to confirm the covenant with many, and only Born again believers are the true Israel of God; as well they are the only ones to be recognized as the children of God. The true Israel of God, represent all who are in Christ Jesus. Those who continue in His covenant are indeed rightful Heirs of the Kingdom (Heb 8:6-10).
Eph 5:6-11 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. Be not ye therefore partakers with them. For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light: (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth; Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord. And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
Of the many false teachings regarding Israel and the end times, one stands out that is quite outrageous. According to this new age mythology, all Christians will be raptured away, and yet many come to be saved through the 144,000 of the twelve tribes of Israel that are left behind. It is taught that this group will witness to the world, and that the Great Tribulation is a time for Israel to come to salvation. Born again believers are the true Israel of God, and Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God (John 3:3).
I Will Bless Those That Bless Thee, And Curse Those That Curse Thee
Gen 12:1-3 Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee: And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
This blessing was to Abraham, not modern day Israel! Mathew speaks of the generations that start with Abraham, continue through David and end with Christ. The blessings of Abraham come on all that have faith through Christ. The reason for this is that the promises were made to Abraham and his seed, which is Christ (Gal 3:14-16).
Keep in mind that neither Abraham, Isaac, Jacob nor his sons were of the tribe of Judah; so they were not jewish, nor did they practice judaism. Furthermore even If those in Modern day Israel could prove a lineage from Jacob’s son Judah, which is highly unlikely, apart from Faith in Christ and adherence to His New Law, there is no blessing.
In Christ there is no difference between the Judeans or the Greeks, the important thing is to recognize that Born again believers are the true Israel of God, and are therefore members of the body of Christ. All who are truly transformed by Christ are Sealed with the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, and truly are the Israel of God.
1 Cor 10:1-4 Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; And did all eat the same spiritual meat; And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.

The New Testament Law Is Given Unto The Israel of God
Gal 6:15-16 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature. And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.
Some professing Christians consider Israel becoming a nation in 1948 as the God ordained second gathering; they also believe the inhabitants of this nation are the chosen ones; both of these fallacies are as far from the truth as good is from evil.
John 1:11-12 He came unto his own, and his own received him not. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
To even consider that God would be a part of gathering a people that have the same belief system as those that rejected and killed His son is ludicrous.They were exiled because of their unbelief, and God calls His servants by another name (Isa 65:1-25).
Matt 23:37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee…Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.
The lineage from Abraham to Christ is one of a genealogy of a group that were very much like each other; they all had the same pursuits, character and blessings in Christ.
Gal 3:28-29 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.
Mathew speaks of all the generations that start with Abraham, continue through David and end with Christ. All carries with it the meaning of all of a type, which in this case is the faithful believer. The blessings of Abraham come on all that have faith through Christ; the promises however were made to Abraham and his seed, which is Christ (Gal 3:14-16).
All who are in Christ are promised the inheritance of eternal life with Him, at His second coming, and all of these are counted as Abraham’s seed. To make a claim that you are of the tribe of Judah without being in Christ, and yet still have a special privilege is utter nonsense.
Gal 2:21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness [come] by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.
Righteousness comes through Christ’s victory over sin at the cross, to make the claim of righteousness through the Old Testament Law is sin and deceit.
As we are told in Galatians, we receive Christ’s Spirit by the hearing of the Word with faith.
Eph 6:16-17 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
John 2:10 And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now
Jesus Christ has brought forth the good or new wine which is the new covenant, last; the first wine which was the old covenant was not nearly as good. Also the first was fulfilled or completed in him on the Cross, and has vanished.
Heb 8:13 In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.
Gal 3:2 This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
Old Testament Law given unto the Hebrews with the commandments and ordinances were to be received by faith; to attempt to keep these works or letters of the law without faith in God was unprofitable and dead. Likewise Christ came and gave the new law. Without the hearing of faith, the spirit that He sent would not be received; it is the infilling of the spirit of Christ that allows us to understand His word. To operate in the flesh with self-righteousness is also unto dead works.
Isaiah 30:1 Woe to the rebellious children, saith the LORD, that take counsel, but not of me; and that cover with a covering, but not of my spirit, that they may add sin to sin:
The correct interpretation for the word covering is graven image. Isaiah tells the story of a people that God had called who rejected Him by following the counsel of wicked men. They replaced His Spirit and covering for their sin with abominable idols unto Baal covered with gold.
Gal 3:6 Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.
Gal 3:7 Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.
All who share in the faith of Abraham now are of one family. This faith was not in the letter of the law, but in the one who gave the law; all who serve God in faith are counted as children of Abraham.
Heb 8:6 But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.
The Old Testament law was a covenant between Jehovah and the Hebrews; this law had Ten Commandments written on tablets of stone. The New Testament is the covenant between Jesus and all who call upon His name; this law is the Spirit of Christ unto life; Christ’s law has only Two Commandments that are written on men’s hearts and in their minds (Heb 10:16; Math 22:37-39).
Eph 2:15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;
Christ, on the cross abolished the law of commandments and the ordinances; as a result he made it possible for all to be of the commonwealth of Israel.
Romans 8:2-4 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

[Quote] Christ, on the cross abolished the law of commandments and the ordinances; as a result he made it possible for all to be of the commonwealth of Israel. [Unquote]
If anyone actually reads your article to the end, you may catch some flack on the above statement. The commandments are written on one’s circumcised heart and not on tablets of stone, but they continue to be in effect. Paul comments (a paraphrase) that if it were not for the law, he would not know the definition of sin. The law is important so don’t inadvertently make it seem unimportant. The law is of God and is our teacher for righteousness through the work of the Holy Spirit within us as a temple of God.
Heb 8:13 In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.
Vanish away as in it is gone!!! open your eyes to the truth it will set you free!!!
Gal 3:2 This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
