The loudest argument among Christian sects concern God's Law of Blessings; not just all Ten but more attention was and still is directed to His Fourth Precept in Exodus 20:8-11 and repeated in Deuteronomy c.5: the one about which Jesus said, "I also am Lord of the Sabbath." The four queries presented herein are not about any specific of God's Doctrine, although it is prudent to know God's Doctrine by reading the above verses; however, the following paragraphs do make a few necessary, specific points for clarity of each inquiry with answers. Please open your Bible and read each reference given in these 3 pages.

Galatians 2:4-5, Jude v.4— Disagreements began during and with the Apostles' ministry and steadily escalated over the next 1,976 years to date hereof: the first 1,810 years of that almost obliterated God's Truth, His Doctrine Law written in stone by His own finger; which Truth is identified in Psalm's as God's Law. It is this Truth to which God referred when He spoke to the Sardis church age of Revelation 3:2— "Strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die." 'Almost obliterated' relates to 'ready to die.'

The Sardis era of 46 years was a time spent preparing-to-teach the Truth one more time during the Philadelphia period, during which 147 years God said the door was open and no man could shut it: Revelation 3:7-8, no man could stop God's Truth from coming out of the wilderness where it had fled from Satan's 'flood of false doctrines.' The only thing Satan could do, and still does, is to re-enforce his lies among Sunday-observing sects; this achieved by strong criticism and false charges against Christ's few small flocks, who by love "obey God's Precepts," while Satan swears to his own that love is all that matters.

Today, the disagreements are heading toward violence against all who shun a Sunday sabbath made by man: not by God or Christ or the Apostles. Still, this Bible treatise is not on specific Laws; rather, it is about what God says regarding His requirements of all humans: those who love Him and follow His Son and those who do not. It goes without saying, what obedience reaps is quite the opposite of what disobedience receives.

God's Answers to Four Questions:

1.  What did God say about changes in His requirements? Ecclesiastes 3:14-20; Deuteronomy 8:6,11

What God does is forever. Nothing can be added to nor anything taken from it. God does what He does so people will know Him as well as fear and respect His infinite power over earth, the heavens and all that are in and beneath them: His creation. What He established in the beginning is required now, and that which will be in the future was required also in the past.

Evil and sin entered into the Lord's house of judgment and righteousness. Thus, God will judge the righteous and the wicked, for there is a time for every purpose and every work. God tests humans so they might learn that they are vain and no better than animals. All are made of dust and shall return to dust again.

Obey His Twelve Laws, also known as precepts, statutes and judgments. Behave in faith, total obedience and respect His authority. Fear forgetting the Lord by not keeping His law, judgments and statutes; which you were told from the beginning. [These are not 'ordinances,' another type of law]

2.  What did Jesus and the Apostles say about changes to God's requirements? Matthew 5:17-20; I John 2:7; Acts 21:24, 24:16; Romans 2:13,15; 3;31; 1:25,30,31; Titus 1:16; James 2:24; Revelation 14:12; 22:14 -corrected

Jesus said, "Do not think I came to destroy the law. Neither dotting of an I nor crossing of a T shall be taken from or added to God's law until heaven and earth pass away and all prophecy is fulfilled. Whoever breaks one of the Father's laws and teaches others the same, he shall perish. But whoever obeys the laws and teaches others to obey, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. Unless obedience exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you shall not enter heaven."

John said, "I give the old commandment which was from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye have heard from the beginning."

Paul said, "Exemplify Jesus by behaving orderly and obeying the Lord's Law. Work at having a clear conscience toward God and men. For the hearers of the law are not just before God. But, the doers of the law shall be vindicated. Their behavior demonstrates the law written in their hearts and their conscience will not allow them to disobey. They live the Lord's unchanged law.

"False preachers and prophets twist God's truths into lies, teaching doctrines and traditions that worship and serve the creature more than God. They are covenant-breakers, haters of God, professing to know God but their works deny Him in disobedience. We of the Lord are not like these who defile God's Word. For we walk by faith, not by sight, and work hard at obeying His laws so God will accept us. We are defended by works and faith. One without the other is death."

John said, "Those who do as Christ did are the ones who obey the commandments of God and possess the unshakable faith of Jesus, even in the face of death. Blessed are they who do God commandments, for they will have right to the tree of life and may enter the gates into the holy city in the new earth."

3.  In ancient times what did the Lord warn of and what is He today still saying to the world? Jeremiah 22:29; 23:1,11,14

"O earth, earth, earth, hear the word of the Lord. Woe to the pastors who destroy and scatter my sheep, for both prophets and priests are vile. Yes, in my house I have found their wickedness. They commit adultery and walk in lies. They strengthen evildoers, causing them not to return to me. They are to me like the wicked of Sodom and Gomorrah.

"Do not listen to their teachings, for they make you vain. They speak from their own heart and not with the mouth of the Lord. They lie when they say you shall have peace in the world and that no evil shall come upon you.

"Listen well, a whirlwind of the Lord's fury will come upon the earth and it shall fall upon the wicked. The Lord shall execute His vengeance and in the latter days you will understand perfectly why He pours out His wrath. For you have perverted the words of the living God and twisted the truth of the Lord of hosts our God."

4.  What will happen and who will remain after Christ returns for His small flocks, and why are they left behind? Matthew 24:27; Luke 17:24; I Thessalonians 4:16-17; Revelation 16:17-18,20-21; Jeremiah 25:32-33; Matthew 24:28; Luke 17:37; Jeremiah 32:23

As the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, so shall Christ return in the clouds on the day appointed by the Father. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God sounding as a great voice out of the temple of heaven saying, "It is done!" and the dead in Christ shall rise first, then we which still are alive shall be caught up with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And, we always will be with the Lord from that day forward.

As Christ moves across the skies taking up His sheep, in His wake the seventh plague will be poured out. There will voices, thunders, lightnings and an earthquake such as the world has never seen. Every island will disappear and mountains will shatter into rubble. A great hail out of heaven,, each stone about 100 pounds, shall fall upon the wicked left behind.

A great whirlwind shall rise up from the coasts of the earth and on that the slain of the Lord shall lay dead from one end of the earth to the other end. They shall not be grieved for nor gathered up or buried. They will be like dung upon the ground. Wherever their bodies lie, there will the buzzards gather for a feast: because the wicked did not hear the Lord's voice nor obey His laws. They did nothing that the Lord commanded them to do; therefore, this evil will come upon them in one hour during old earth's last day.

How Do You Measure Up to God's Law: Full Obedience, perhaps Partial or even Full Disobedience? Know your end by your own judgment in answer to Ten, which takes love of God and man in order to obey.
