The Teachings Of Jesus- or -The Doctrines Of Men
The teachings of Jesus on when we are gathered
The teachings of Jesus on the end time gathering are very clear. He declared, One shall be taken and the other shall be left behind. As it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be when the Son of Man returns. The ones taken are to be destroyed. The Elect are to be left behind, to inherit the Kingdom on earth, at Christ’s Second Coming.
Mark 13:24-27 But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory. And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.
The teachings of Jesus confirm, that after the tribulation He would gather all of the elect together. It would be unnecessary to gather the heavenly host, if it were not for the fact that they also were to reign on earth with Him.
After this great tribulation we will receive a kingdom that cannot be moved (Rev 8:12; 9:2; Heb 12:28).
2 Tim 4:8 Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.
The apostle Paul understands the teachings of Jesus; he points out that he will receive the crown of righteousness at the same time as all those that love Christ’s appearing do. This occurs upon Christ’s return to the earth. To imagine that one shall be taken to receive the reward of eternal life before the tribulation, while the apostle waits until the end of the tribulation for his is utter nonsense.
2 Tim 4:1 I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;
According to the teachings of Jesus, He judges the living and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom, which is His 1000 year earthly reign. If there is a pre tribulation rapture then this group escapes the judgment. But this is impossible, as it is appointed unto man once to die and then the judgment (2 Tim 4:1; Heb 9:27-28).
Peter presents us with a message that the new age church does not want to talk about, because they do not want to understand it. We will partake in Christ’s sufferings and are able to endure through the power of His Spirit that lives within His Elect.
1 Peter 4:12-13 Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ’s sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.
The teachings of Jesus on earthly tribulations, as well as His children enduring the Great Tribulation, should not be ignored (Math 5:10-12; Math 24: 29-31).

The teachings of Jesus about the New Covenant
Mark 2:21-22 No man also seweth a piece of new cloth on an old garment: else the new piece that filled it up taketh away from the old, and the rent is made worse. And no man putteth new wine into old bottles: else the new wine doth burst the bottles, and the wine is spilled, and the bottles will be marred: but new wine must be put into new bottles.
The teachings of Jesus declare that it is impossible to mix the New Testament Covenant that has the saving blood of Christ, with the Old Testament Law that did not. Putting new wine into an old bottle will cause both to perish, because the old bottle is not designed for the new. Under the Old Testament Law there was a temple that God’s Spirit dwelled in. Under the new law according to the teachings of Jesus we are the temple that he dwells in (1 Cor 3:16-17; 1 Cor 6:19).
The new law of Christ is not only better, it also happens to be the only choice available, as the old has passed away. The teachings of Jesus dictate that any man in Christ is a new creation and all things have become new (2 Cor 5:17).
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 wine last, which is the new covenant. 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?
The teachings of Jesus give us the new law. Without the hearing of faith, the spirit that He sent would not be received, and His New Covenant would not be understood. 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 unto dead works.
