For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.
For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.

When you hear their speeches, and their teachings, they have smooth sayings for itchy ears, but if you confront them with the biblical laws, statutes, and judgments, their doctrines crumble like untempered mortar. Compare the Faith Once Delivered at Mt. Sinai to what their fundamentals of belief say, and you will expose Satan's lies. It has been said that God's laws, statutes, and judgments were "done away," or "don't apply to gentiles," yet, Christ, the God of the Old Covenant is using the same laws, statutes, and judgments for his New Covenant, but this time, the Holy Spirit is added, immortality is added, those same laws will be written on our hearts, and those who refuse to keep them will simply no longer be around. Satan, just like he deceived Adam and Eve, would like to deceive the very Elect by saying the same lie: "ye shall not surely die." If you believe Satan, that you don't have to keep God's laws, statutes, and judgments, would we not face the same punishment that God predicted for Adam and Eve?


Deuteronomy 12:28-32

28) Observe and hear all these words which I command thee, that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee for ever, when thou doest that which is good and right in the sight of the LORD thy God.

29) When the LORD thy God shall cut off the nations from before thee, whither thou goest to possess them, and thou succeedest them, and dwellest in their land;

30) Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them, after that they be destroyed from before thee; and that thou enquire not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise.

31) Thou shalt not do so unto the LORD thy God: for every abomination to the LORD, which he hateth, have they done unto their gods; for even their sons and their daughters they have burnt in the fire to their gods.

32) What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it.

Galatians 1:6-9

6) I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:

7) Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.

8) But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.

9) As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.

Jude 1:3-5

3) Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.

4) For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.

5) I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not.

Hebrews 10:16-17

16) This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;

17) And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.

1 John 3:4

4) Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.


Paul reaffirmed the establishment of the law in verse 31.


Romans 3:1-31

1) What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit is there of circumcision?

2) Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God.

3) For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect?

4) God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.

5) But if our unrighteousness commend the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who taketh vengeance? (I speak as a man)

6) God forbid: for then how shall God judge the world?

7) For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie unto his glory; why yet am I also judged as a sinner?

8) And not rather, (as we be slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say,) Let us do evil, that good may come? whose damnation is just.

9) What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin;

10) As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:

11) There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.

12) They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

13) Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips:

14) Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:

15) Their feet are swift to shed blood:

16) Destruction and misery are in their ways:

17) And the way of peace have they not known:

18) There is no fear of God before their eyes.

19) Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.

20) Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.

21) But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;

22) Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:

23) For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

24) Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:

25) Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;

26) To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.

27) Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.

28)Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.

29) Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also:

30) Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith.

31) Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.


How does God feel and what does he say about it through Ezekiel? The formerly wicked vs the formerly Righteous:


Ezekiel 33:1-33

1) Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

2) Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say unto them, When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land take a man of their coasts, and set him for their watchman:

3) If when he seeth the sword come upon the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the people;

4) Then whosoever heareth the sound of the trumpet, and taketh not warning; if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be upon his own head.

5) He heard the sound of the trumpet, and took not warning; his blood shall be upon him. But he that taketh warning shall deliver his soul.

6) But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand.

7) So thou, O son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me.

8) When I say unto the wicked, O wicked man, thou shalt surely die; if thou dost not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.

9) Nevertheless, if thou warn the wicked of his way to turn from it; if he do not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.

10) Therefore, O thou son of man, speak unto the house of Israel; Thus ye speak, saying, If our transgressions and our sins be upon us, and we pine away in them, how should we then live?

11) Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?

12) Therefore, thou son of man, say unto the children of thy people, The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression: as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall thereby in the day that he turneth from his wickedness; neither shall the righteous be able to live for his righteousness in the day that he sinneth.

13) When I shall say to the righteous, that he shall surely live; if he trust to his own righteousness, and commit iniquity, all his righteousnesses shall not be remembered; but for his iniquity that he hath committed, he shall die for it.

14) Again, when I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; if he turn from his sin, and do that which is lawful and right;

15) If the wicked restore the pledge, give again that he had robbed, walk in the statutes of life, without committing iniquity; he shall surely live, he shall not die.

16) None of his sins that he hath committed shall be mentioned unto him: he hath done that which is lawful and right; he shall surely live.

17) Yet the children of thy people say, The way of the Lord is not equal: but as for them, their way is not equal.

18) When the righteous turneth from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, he shall even die thereby.

19) But if the wicked turn from his wickedness, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall live thereby.

20) Yet ye say, The way of the Lord is not equal. O ye house of Israel, I will judge you every one after his ways.

21) And it came to pass in the twelfth year of our captivity, in the tenth month, in the fifth day of the month, that one that had escaped out of Jerusalem came unto me, saying, The city is smitten.

22) Now the hand of the LORD was upon me in the evening, afore he that was escaped came; and had opened my mouth, until he came to me in the morning; and my mouth was opened, and I was no more dumb.

23) Then the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

24) Son of man, they that inhabit those wastes of the land of Israel speak, saying, Abraham was one, and he inherited the land: but we are many; the land is given us for inheritance.

25) Wherefore say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Ye eat with the blood, and lift up your eyes toward your idols, and shed blood: and shall ye possess the land?

26) Ye stand upon your sword, ye work abomination, and ye defile every one his neighbour's wife: and shall ye possess the land?

27) Say thou thus unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; As I live, surely they that are in the wastes shall fall by the sword, and him that is in the open field will I give to the beasts to be devoured, and they that be in the forts and in the caves shall die of the pestilence.

28) For I will lay the land most desolate, and the pomp of her strength shall cease; and the mountains of Israel shall be desolate, that none shall pass through.

29) Then shall they know that I am the LORD, when I have laid the land most desolate because of all their abominations which they have committed.

30) Also, thou son of man, the children of thy people still are talking against thee by the walls and in the doors of the houses, and speak one to another, every one to his brother, saying, Come, I pray you, and hear what is the word that cometh forth from the LORD.

31) And they come unto thee as the people cometh, and they sit before thee as my people, and they hear thy words, but they will not do them: for with their mouth they shew much love, but their heart goeth after their covetousness.

32) And, lo, thou art unto them as a very lovely song of one that hath a pleasant voice, and can play well on an instrument: for they hear thy words, but they do them not.

33) And when this cometh to pass, (lo, it will come,) then shall they know that a prophet hath been among them.

Same laws, new promises. The law was not "done away with."


Romans 3:31

31) Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.


1 John 3:4

4) Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.


Matthew 5:17-20

17) Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.

18) For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

19) Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall…

A Critical Review and Refutation of “Doctrinal Differences”

The article “Doctrinal Differences” argues that the “faith once delivered” is identical to the laws, statutes, and judgments given to Israel at Sinai, and that any Christian doctrine not aligned with the Sinai covenant is a deception of Satan. While the desire to uphold biblical truth is admirable, the argument presented rests on several interpretive errors and misapplications of Scripture that do not align with the New Testament’s teaching on the covenants, the Gospel, or the nature of Christian faith.


  1. The central assumption is never proven: that the Sinai covenant is the faith once delivered.

The entire article depends on equating Jude 1:3 with Exodus 19–24. But Jude defines the “faith once…
