This hard hitting site exposes the indefensible, law keeping doctrinal mistakes of mainstream Christianity and “goes all out” to convince and persuade hard core, “die hard” traditional, mainstream Christians that certain “abolished” laws are not really abolished at all. Another purpose of this unofficial, “attack dog” website is to let you become aware of the safe haven, Saturday Sabbath, safe meat, and mostly prophetic festival law keeping, slowly growing, thriving remnant churches of the former Worldwide Church of God, especially the larger three churches mentioned below, scrolling down about halfway. Members also pay the first and third year assistance tithes and keep the additional 10% festival tithe, and give offerings on the festival holy days, too, yet do not become poorer. Critics of these churches claim that the members are obeying certain Biblical laws that no longer need to be obeyed. However, such over-righteousness, if it is over-righteousness (which it is not), IS NOT SINFUL. So these church members “have it made.” If they are right, they will be saved. If they are wrong, they will be saved. They cannot lose. The critics, though, if they are wrong, which they are, face potentially indescribable disaster. This site correctly explains most if not all of the misinterpreted and mistranslated Bible verses mainstreamers use to try to peddle their antinomian doctrines. The creator of this website, born in 1946, has an intense, personal hatred of sin, especially lying and deception, because of the great harm those sins caused during his younger years. When about 26 years old he made the decision to become baptized since he realized that he had nothing to lose and everything to gain if Christianity really was true. After decades of study, he now knows, of course, that Christianity is and must be true. He attends the Church of God, a Worldwide Association, because it is the most locally convenient, righteous church, but believes that the Living Church of God is slightly more righteous, and tithes to it because it strictly observes the enriching third year charity tithe, word for word as literally recorded in the Bible. The substitution of government social security taxes for the 10% additional tithe, used by the other two churches mentioned on this site, the Unted Church of God, an International Association and the Church of God, a Worldwide Association, during the third year do not really give those who need it the most a full 10% assistance as required by that particular tithing law. The author will not just idly stand by doing nothing while watching verse skipping, mainstream Christianity and even most translators, almost surely aided by the wily Devil, continue to get away with BUTCHERING the interpretation of certain simple, all important, literal law keeping verses of the New Testament. How dare humans totally skip some “make or break” law keeping verses. How dare frail, mortal humans totally ignore the real Greek meanings of critically important words in some very important, eternal life saving, law keeping verses. How dare mainstreamers totally ignore the obvious context in certain law keeping verses. How dare most translators, falling prey to Satan, incredibly, arrogantly insert in the book of Mark their own blasphemously lying, personal words declaring that all meats have been “cleansed.” How dare most Bible publishers in blind greed and on an industrial scale, promulgate such evil, eternal life killing translations to the trusting public. How dare the public schools continue to insist on forbidding the teaching of creation science when the amount of creation science data is now so overwhelmingly massive that most evolutionist professors refuse or hesitate to debate creation science professors for fear of being publicly ridiculed. How dare the media and evolutionists hide and conceal stunning new creation science discoveries. Hence, in seething anger, which is renewed daily, this website was born.

Some quite rational people reasonably conclude that since the New Testament SEEMS to contradict itself on the critically important issue of law keeping, then it is useless and might as well be thrown away. A dedicated student of the Bible will eventually realize, though, that the Bible is not self-contradictory on law keeping when context and Greek word definitions are VERY CLOSELY ANALYZED. It is the Biblically inconsistent and unBiblical part of mainstream Christianity, however, that must be thrown away. Mainstreamers appear to eagerly exploit and take advantage of certain overgeneralized, incomplete law keeping verses that SEEM TO GIVE THE IMPRESSION that they contradict themselves sometimes, especially in the books of Romans and Galatians. In Romans the MAIN, PRIMARY SUBJECT is the now abolished, previously monumental, mega law of eternal death for sinning, NOT the abolishment of the general law (remember, the Old Testament has many decent, essential laws such as PROHIBITING harmfully hitting pregnant women, bestiality, incest, AIDS and herpes spreading fornication, eating leprous armadillos, Ebola infected monkeys, and flesh eating, Vibrio vulnificus carrying oysters, convicting an innocent son for a crime committed only by his father, and on and on), which was never abolished, with the exception of the sacrifice, circumcision, and Levitical priesthood laws which Luke and Paul specifically named and singled out as now annulled. Mainstreamers seem to gleefully pick and choose what they want to believe, in what they act like is a cherry picking free for all, selectively choosing only, of course, those verses and half verses that make it look like they can get away with evading obeying as many of God’s laws as possible. It appears that the New Testament was deliberately inspired/recorded so that most “Christians” (who don’t have the Holy Spirit) could not easily understand everything in it unless they had the Holy Spirit (requiring law obedience) first (1 Corinthians 2:11-16), possibly for the purpose of limiting the number of saved people that will be in the first resurrection which, it seems, is reserved primarily for those specially chosen, “called” Christians (John 6:44, 6:65, 14:6 [don’t worry about whether or not God has called you; if you are really determined to be in His Kingdom and humble enough to obey all of His laws and worship God, I think the chances are excellent that you are already called and will be among the chosen]) that will ultimately become kings and priests to help Jesus govern during and after the Christian Millennium (Revelation 1:6, 5:10).

Mainstream Christianity, which is riddled with Biblical contradictions, has flagrantly unBiblical doctrines that are easy targets for ridicule such as

1) HIGHLY UNBIBLICAL, MAN CONCOCTED, DECEPTION AND IDOLATRY DRENCHED SUNDAY,

2) HIGHLY INSULTING CHRISTMAS (to see just how bad Christmas really is, read X-MAS), AND

3) EASTER OBSERVANCE, (ACTUALLY NAMED, INCREDIBLY, AFTER EOSTRE, A PAGAN GODDESS OF FERTILITY AND CELEBRATED WITH FERTILITY SYMBOLS SUCH AS RABBITS AND EGGS), AND

4) OFTEN UNHEALTHY, SOMETIMES EVEN DANGEROUS, FORBIDDEN FOOD CONSUMPTION. THE FORBIDDEN MEAT OF SCAVENGER ANIMALS IS USUALLY MORE TOXIC THAN “CLEAN” MEATS AND SOMETIMES INFESTED WITH PARASITES OR OTHER HIDEOUS PATHOGENS.

5) THEY HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO EVIDENCE THAT JESUS WAS RESURRECTED AFTER SATURDAY SUNSET THE WEEK HE WAS CRUCIFIED, WHICH IMMEDIATELY AND INSTANTLY COLLAPSES ANY SUPPORT FOR SUNDAY REST AND EASTER OBSERVANCE.

6) THEY PICK AND CHOOSE ONLY THE FIRST, REGULAR TITHE TO PAY, WHICH ORIGINATED IN THE OLD TESTAMENT, WHILE ILLOGICALLY IGNORING THE OTHER WELL DOCUMENTED FESTIVAL AND THIRD YEAR ASSISTANCE TITHES THAT ALSO ORIGINATED IN THE OLD TESTAMENT.

7) IN THE NEW TESTAMENT, THEY REPEATEDLY TWIST OUT OF CONTEXT THE INTERPRETATION OF MANY LAW KEEPING VERSES EVEN COMPLETELY IGNORING SOME CRITICALLY IMPORTANT GREEK WORD DEFINITIONS, AND SIMPLY JUST IGNORE OTHER VERY PLAIN LAW KEEPING VERSES.

8) THE WORST AND POTENTIALLY DEADLIEST BIBLICAL CONTRADICTION THAT MOST MAINSTREAMERS ARE GUILTY OF IS CLAIMING THAT THE ONLY THING YOU NEED TO DO TO ACQUIRE SALVATION, ACCORDING TO JOHN 3:15 AND SIMILAR VERSES, IS TO “JUST BELIEVE IN JESUS, THEN YOU WILL BE SAVED (LAWKEEPING NOT REQUIRED).” MAINSTREAMERS, THOUGH, WILL NOT TELL YOU THAT MERE COMMON SENSE, BASIC LOGIC, AND THAYER’S FORMAL DEFINITION OF THE GREEK FOR “BELIEVES,” PISTEUO, STRONG’S 4100 IN JOHN 3:36 BELOW, INCLUDES THE PHRASE “CONJOINED WITH OBEDIENCE TO CHRIST” (THAYER’S GREEK-ENGLISH LEXICON OF THE NEW TESTAMENT, PAGE 511). MOST POPULAR CHURCHES (WHICH ARE ALSO THE ONES THAT REALLY DO PICK AND CHOOSE THE VERSES AND HALF VERSES THAT THEY WANT TO BELIEVE) ALSO WILL NOT QUOTE JOHN 3:36 COMPLETELY WHICH SAYS “HE WHO BELIEVES IN THE SON HAS EVERLASTING LIFE; AND HE WHO DISOBEYS THE SON SHALL NOT SEE LIFE, BUT THE WRATH OF GOD ABIDES ON HIM.” MAINSTREAMERS ALSO TOTALLY IGNORE ACTS 2:38: “Peter replied, ‘All of you MUST TURN AWAY FROM YOUR SINS and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then your sins will be forgiven. You will receive the gift of the HOLY SPIRIT.” (New International Reader’s Version) IN ADDITION, MAINSTREAMERS USUALLY WILL NOT QUOTE 1 CORINTHIANS 9:27 WHICH REVEALS THAT EVEN PAUL COULD HAVE LOST HIS SALVATION IF HE HAD DELIBERATELY COMMITTED SINS WITHOUT REPENTING OF THEM LATER.

Even the average 15 year old teenage kid in the United States has enough common sense to tell you that you CAN NOT take half or a complete Biblical verse, and isolate it twisting its meaning to contradict the last part of the verse or the next verse acting like they do not even exist. That is exactly what “cherry picking, pick and choose” mainstreamers have done, however, with Romans 6:14 (you are not under law but under grace) and John 3:36 (believe Jesus and you will be saved, obedience not required mainstreamers incorrectly assert) and other law keeping verses. Mainstreamers just totally and deliberately ignore Romans 6:15 and the last half of John 3:36 which clearly “spell out” the continuing need to obey the law, if you want to avoid the ultimate lake of fire.

The vast majority of what this site teaches is taken directly from the intensely researched teachings of the three slowly growing, like minded, safe haven churches listed below that are not afraid to believe in a more literal, more obvious interpretation of the New Testament. Church members obey all of God’s laws including the Saturday Sabbath, the protective dietary restrictions, and the festivals, most of which seem quite prophetic. All of the holy, saved Apostles also diligently obeyed these same laws until their last day on this earth. Members do not observe the sacrifice, circumcision, and Levitical priesthood laws which the Apostles itemized as now abolished.

THE CHURCH OF GOD, A WORLDWIDE ASSOCIATION (2018 attending membership around 10,000. Visit their website at cogwa.org.),

THE UNITED CHURCH OF GOD, AN INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION (2018 attending membership around 14,000. Visit their site by going to ucg.org.), and

THE LIVING CHURCH OF GOD (2018 attending membership around 10,000. See their website at lcg.org.).

These are among the largest remnant churches of the former Worldwide Church of God, initially called the Radio Church of God, that began in the 1940’s using radio as an evangelistic tool. Compared to much larger mainstream Christian churches, these churches could very well be described as a “little flock,” a term Jesus Christ used for the New Testament church. Some rural church members are able to attend only the annual holy day church services, especially the Feast of Tabernacles, since they live too far away from a local congregation for weekly Sabbath services. WCG membership peaked at about 175,000 during the late 1980’s. Joseph Tkach, the pastor general of WCG after the 1986 death of Herbert W. Armstrong, the church’s founder, radically annulled the law keeping doctrines of the church that included the continued observance of certain Old Testament laws, turning it basically into just another antinomian, mainstream Christian church. Within about a year, he was DEAD. Tkach died suddenly from what was probably a very painful death. Bone cancer caused some of his bones to start growing again. A substantial number of former WCG members suspect that his death, not too surprisingly, was divine punishment for distorting life saving, Biblical truth. Tkach’s son assumed leadership and renamed the now much smaller church, preserving the antinomian changes. While some considered WCG a “cult,” remember that when the original Saturday Sabbath keeping, festival and food law observing New Testament church was being formed after the death of Jesus, that church, too, was also described as a “cult” by many during that time, especially the Romans.

To better understand fast moving events in the Middle East, which for now is mostly and literally the Devil’s playground infested with hordes of religious savages, subscribe to at least one and preferably to all three free magazines from ultraconservative, prophesy studying churches. Call 1 513 576 9796 to receive the free magazine BEYOND TODAY from the United Church of God, an International Association. TOMORROW’S WORLD is another free magazine from a great like minded sister church, the Living Church of God. The latter sponsors the most extensive television ministry, by far, of any of these remnant churches. In 2013 LCG broadcasting began in Russia, a country that certainly needs to finally hear the truth. The Living Church of God is also broadcasting in China and India, the world’s most populated countries. Call 1 800 737 0766 for your subscription to TOMORROW’S WORLD. An excellent bimonthly publication called DISCERN is also available and free from the Church of God, a Worldwide Association by calling 1 972 521 7777 for either a paper copy or digital online subscription.

GracePlusLawKeepingSave.Us not only brings out Biblical verses usually never mentioned in mainstream churches, but also provides many seldom read but still very reputable translations of those verses giving more accurate or slightly clearer, more insightful understanding of the Scriptures.

If you love God and want to obey Him fully, you should, of course, some day be granted immortal life in a wonder land of eternal pleasures. Your concern, however, should be WHEN. The Bible quite clearly mentions the FIRST resurrection which OBVIOUSLY implies a SECOND resurrection (Revelation 20:1-7). This is another part of the Bible that “cherry picking” mainstreamers totally ignore, the strongly implied second resurrection. Most Christians claim that upon death they will immediately go to heaven, never losing consciousness. If you are a mainstream Christian, though, explain John 3:13: “…… no one has ascended to heaven but He who came down from heaven, that is, the Son of Man who is in heaven.” Please explain also more than 8 New Testament verses revealing that dead Christians are ASLEEP (unconscious) waiting to be resurrected, that include 1 Corinthians 15:6,18,20,51 and 1 Thessalonians 4:13-16. This further illustrates the biased interpretation of the Bible that mainstreamers have, and they seem to think nothing of it. The first resurrection will precede the 1,000 year Christian millennium in which only a relatively small number of called and chosen people, the soon to be immortal Christian “saints,” will be resurrected to help Jesus teach and rule on the earth (Revelation 20:6). The second resurrection will occur after the Christian millennium in which the majority of humanity that has ever lived will mercifully come to life again (Revelation 20:5). As the Bible says, the second resurrection will be a final time of judgment to determine who lives forever, and who will not (Revelation 20:11-15). Those in the second resurrection will be without excuse if they choose not to obey the Lord since they will have the preceding millennium, in which Jesus taught and ruled for A THOUSAND LONG YEARS, to teach them how to properly think and act. Since the very first day that Jesus returns to the earth, a small army of television crews from many countries will probably be recording 24 hours a day every single word and movement of our precious Savior, Jesus Christ. Hundreds of thousands of people, perhaps even many tens of millions, who need healing will also probably be camped out as close as possible to where Jesus will be staying. Jesus will still be on the earth answering any questions while the people from the second resurrection live out their lives, estimated to be around a hundred years long according to Isaiah 65:20, speculating. The second resurrection people, though, will still have to discern good from evil and truth from lies since Satan will be temporarily released to deceive again (Revelation 20:1-3). Assuming you will be saved, will you be in the first resurrection, or will you “blow” a thousand years of incredibly pleasant living, and wind up in the SECOND RESURRECTION? Please visit freebiblestudyguides.org/…/prophesy-second-resurrection-humanity-opportunity-salvation.htm to better understand these little understood resurrections.

The Church of God, a Worldwide Association, the United Church of God, an International Association, the Living Church of God, and some smaller, similar Saturday Sabbath splinter churches are ultraconservative, first century like, Biblicaly restored churches teaching what Jesus and the Apostles taught and actually practiced according to what the New Testament says literally in the ORIGINAL GREEK, not the sometimes less accurate and occasionally even misleading English translations. How many mainstream churches can make a claim like that? Answer: none, not even one. These righteous, safe haven churches are not afraid to teach what the New Testament says literally. Most popular churches seem to insist on using the English translations and the English translations ONLY to support their doctrines without an exhaustive analysis of the original Greek or Hebrew in some controversial verses. As a result some of their doctrines are quite inconsistent with what the original languages say.

You may ask, “What about all the tens of millions of people in the mainstream churches, will they be saved? I think most or all of the sincere mainstream Christians CAN ultimately be saved, after being resurrected in the second resurrection, though. To be resurrected in the first resurrection, you MUST, NO EXCEPTIONS, have the Holy Spirit. Do you really think that the vast majority of traditional Christians have sincerely repented of breaking any of God’s laws anymore, especially resting on the seventh day of the week, and are now obeying those laws? Therefore it does not seem likely that most mainstreamers have the Holy Spirit because of their careless disregard for true Biblical law keeping. Can you really ignore Acts 2:38 which DEMANDS that the law must be obeyed to acquire the Holy Spirit? That verse says to repent, referring to the repentance of sinning, and only then you will receive the Holy Spirit. Since sinning is breaking the law according 1 John 3:4, the ONLY way to stop sinning is BY OBEYING the law, the laws that were never abolished, which of course would include the Ten Commandments. The food and mostly prophetic festival laws, also, never were abolished. MATTHEW 7:21-23: “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the Kingdom of Heaven ……. 22 MANY (POLUS) will say to Me in that day (Judgment Day which will occur sometime after the Christian millennium), ‘Lord, Lord (desperately crying out fearing they may be rejected), have we not prophesied (preached) in your name, cast out demons in your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness (ANOMIA)!” Most Christians refuse to believe, in the assumption that the majority must be right, the real definition of ANOMIA translated loosely by often anti-OT leaning translators into the more deceptively general, less specific “lawlessness” or “iniquity.” The Greek word for MANY in the above verse 22 is POLUS which when used elsewhere in the Bible OFTEN MEANS NOT JUST THE MAJORITY, BUT OMINOUSLY THE VAST MAJORITY.

Getting back to the fate of most mainstream Christians when they arise during the second resurrection, I suspect that most will be saved, but I actually do not know what will happen to them since they will have to contend again with the worldwide deception Satan will temporarily bring back to the earth after he is released for a brief time at the end of the Christian Millennium. Then mainstreamers will again need to discern evil from good and truth from lies.

I encourage you to advertise or link this site to your own website, web page, on Twitter, on Facebook, or in a comment on any website. Do a little easy preaching by just typing in www.GracePlusLawKeepingSave.Us to show the address of this site! Start accumulating a little SPIRITUAL WEALTH that you can take with you after you die. Revelation 14:13: “…… for …… their deeds will follow them,” referring to people who have died (An Understandable Version). Just one mention of this website elsewhere on the web can start a spiritual chain reaction among an increasingly larger and larger number of people. The following verses in Acts, Daniel, James, and Jude command and encourage church members themselves to try to help others become more righteous.

Matthew 12:30: “He that is not with Me is against Me; and he that GATHERETH NOT WITH ME scattereth abroad.” (King James Version) In other words, just by doing nothing you could be judged as not helping Jesus to gather others, meaning in turn that you really are against Him.

Acts 8:3-4: ” …….. 4 …….. they (Christian church members themselves) that were scattered (by Saul’s persecutions) abroad went everywhere preaching the word.” (NKJV parenthesized words added)

James 5:20: ” …….. be sure of this: any man who brings a sinner back from his crooked ways will be rescuing his soul from death and cancelling innumerable sins.” (NKJV)

Jude 1,22,23: “…… To: Christians everywhere …… 22 Try to help those who argue against you. Be merciful to those who doubt. 23 Save some by snatching them as from the very flames of hell itself. And as for others, help them to find the Lord by being kind to them ……” (The Living Bible)

Jude 1,22,23: “…… to those who are called …… 22 With some people who are wavering, you must show mercy. 23 Some you MUST rescue, snatching them from the fire ……” (New Testament for Everyone)

Jude 1,22,23: “…… To those who have been chosen …… 22 Help those who have doubts. 23 Rescue those who are living in danger of hell’s fire ……” (Easy-to-Read Version)

1 Timothy 4:16: “Take heed to yourself and to the doctrine. Continue in them, for in doing this you will save both yourself and those who hear you.” (NKJV)

2 Timothy 4:2: “Preach the word! …….. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching.” (NKJV)

Daniel 12:3: “Those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the firmament, and those who turn many to righteousness like the stars forever and ever.” (NKJV)

Proverbs 24:11,12: “Deliver those who are drawn toward death, and hold back those stumbling to the slaughter. 12 If you say, ‘Surely we did not know this,’ Does not He who weighs the hearts consider it? He who keeps your soul, does He not know it? And will He not render to each man according to his deeds?” (NKJV)

You, the reader, may ultimately be blessed for promoting this site since you will be helping Jesus “to gather others” for eventual entrance into God’s eternal, fabulously glorious kingdom.

The much better New Covenant now available to all Christians provides

1) complete forgiveness of sins,

2) the Holy Spirit, and

3) immortality

through the gift of the sacrificial death of Jesus, which WERE NOT available in the Old Covenant. The Old Covenant previously promised ONLY physical blessings and ONLY physical protection to Israel and Judah for obedience to God’s laws. When the Old Testament laws (excluding the sacrifice, circumcision, Levitical priesthood, and the general law of sin and death laws) are acknowledged as still valid, both the New and Old Testaments then finally become more harmonious, as of course they should be, instead of frequently self contradictory, and Jesus’ dire warning in Matthew 7:21-23, using the anomia word, about living apart from the Mosaic laws, becomes more understandable.
