LET HIM BE ACCURSED
Text:
Galatians 1:6-9 "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."
Acts 15:1 "And certain men which came
down from Judaea taught the brethren, and said,
Except ye be circumcised
after the manner
of
Moses,
ye cannot be saved. (enter into the
kingdom of God)"
Luke 18:24-26 "And when Jesus saw that he
was very sorrowful, he said, How hardly shall they that have riches
enter into the kingdom of God!
25. For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich
man to enter into the kingdom of God. 26. And they that heard it said, Who then can be
saved?"
Acts 14:22 "Confirming the souls of the
disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must
through much tribulation enter
into the kingdom of God."
Galatians 5:1-3 "Stand fast therefore in the
liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with
the yoke of bondage.
2. Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be
circumcised,
Christ shall profit you
nothing. 3. For I testify again to every man that is
circumcised, that he is
a debtor to do the whole law."
Galatians 1:6-7 "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 (who had received the gospel of Christ), and would
pervert [turn] the gospel of
Christ."
2 Corinthians 3:6-12
"Who also hath made us able ministers of the
new testament; not of the letter, but of the
spirit: for the
letter killeth, but the spirit
giveth life. 7. But if the
ministration of death,
written and engraven
in stones,
was glorious, so that the
children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory
of his countenance; which glory
was to be done away: 8. How shall
not the ministration
of
the
spirit
be rather glorious? 9. For if
the ministration of condemnation
(law, Old Testament) be glory, much more doth the
ministration
of
righteousness
(grace, New Testament)
exceed in glory. 10. For even that which was made glorious had
no glory in this respect, by reason of the
glory that excelleth. 11.
For if that which is done away
was glorious,
much more that which remaineth is
glorious. 12. Seeing then that we
have such hope, we use great plainness of speech:"
Ruth 4:3-6 "And he said unto the
kinsman, Naomi, that is come again out of the country of Moab, selleth a
parcel of land, which was our brother Elimelech's: 4. And I thought to
advertise thee, saying, Buy it before the inhabitants, and before the elders
of my people. If thou wilt redeem it, redeem it: but if thou wilt not redeem
it, then tell me, that I may know: for there is none to redeem it beside thee;
and I am after thee. And he said, I will redeem it. 5. Then said Boaz, What
day thou buyest the field of the hand of
Naomi,
thou must buy it also of
Ruth
(Gentile) the Moabitess, the wife of the dead, to raise up the name of
the dead upon his inheritance. 6. And the
kinsman said, I cannot redeem it
for myself, lest I mar mine own inheritance:
redeem thou my right to thyself; for
I cannot redeem it."
Acts 7:35 "This Moses whom they
refused, saying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge? the same did God send to
be a ruler and a deliverer by the hand of the angel which appeared to him in
the bush."
Acts 7:37 "This is that Moses, which
said unto the children of Israel, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up
unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear."
Galatians 1:8-9 "But though we, or an angel
from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached
unto you
(they had received the gospel of
Christ), 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."
Acts 9 through 19 Paul preached the gospel of
Christ except to the Philippian jailor at first in Acts 16, and at Athens,
Acts 17.
Matthew 25:32-34 "And before him shall be
gathered all nations
(Gentiles): and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd
divideth his sheep (symbolic language)
from the goats
(figurative language): 33. And he shall set the sheep on his right
hand, but the goats (figurative language) on the left. 34. Then shall
the King say unto them (sheep) on his
right hand, Come, ye blessed
(not cursed) of my Father,
inherit the
kingdom
prepared for you from the foundation of the world:"
Matthew 25:40-41 "And the King shall answer
and say unto them
(sheep), Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of
the least of these (sheep that were present) my
brethren (sheep seeking
to enter into the kingdom of heaven), ye have done it unto me. 41. Then
shall he say also unto them
(goats) on the left hand, Depart from me, ye
cursed,
into everlasting [agelasting,
singular] fire,
prepared for the devil (literal language) and his
angels (literal language):"
Numbers 18:17 "But the
firstling of a cow,
or the firstling of a sheep, or the firstling of a goat,
thou shalt not redeem; they are
holy: thou shalt sprinkle their blood upon the altar, . . ."
Matthew 25:46 "And these shall go away
into everlasting
[agelasting, singular]
punishment [from 2849 meaning to curtail, to cut off]: but the righteous into
life
eternal
[agelasting life in the kingdom, the millennium]."
2 Peter 2:14-15 "Having eyes full of
adultery, and that cannot cease from
sin (lawlessness);
beguiling unstable
souls: an heart they have exercised with
covetous practices; cursed children:
15. Which have forsaken the right way, and
are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the
wages (benefits) of unrighteousness [unjust];"
2 Peter 2:20-21 "For if after they have
escaped the pollutions of the world through the
knowledge [epignwsi",
deeper knowledge] of the
Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome,
the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. 21. For it had been
better for them
not to
have known [epiginoskw,
deeper knowledge] the way
of righteousness, than, after they have
known
[epiginoskw,
deeper knowledge] it,
to turn
from the holy commandment delivered unto them."
Hebrews 6:6-8 "If they shall fall away, to
renew them again unto repentance; seeing they
crucify (put to death)
to themselves the Son of God
(their high priest) afresh, and put him to an open shame (those
who fall away). 7. For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh
oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed,
receiveth blessing from God:
8. But that which beareth thorns
and briers (not the right
fruit) is rejected,
and is nigh unto cursing; whose end is to be burned."
Galatians 3:10 "For as many as are of the
works of the law are under the
curse: for it is written,
Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the
book of the law
to do them."
Galatians 3:13
"Christ hath redeemed us from the
curse of the law, being made a
curse for us (who have not
turned from the way of righteousness): for it is written,
Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:"
Romans 9:3 "For I could wish that
myself were accursed
from Christ (for a thousand years, not eternity) for my brethren, my
kinsmen according to the flesh:"
Joshua 9:23 "Now therefore ye
(Gibeonites) are cursed, and there shall
none of you be freed
from being bondmen, and hewers of wood
and drawers of water for the
house of my God."
Luke 17:7-8
"But which of you, having a
servant (doing only his duty v. 10) plowing or feeding cattle, will say
unto him by and by, when he is come from the field, Go and sit down to meat?
8. And will not rather say unto him,
Make ready
wherewith I may sup, and gird thyself,
and serve me, till I have eaten
and drunken; and afterward
thou
shalt eat and
drink?"
Luke 17:9
"Doth he
thank [grace] that servant because he did (only) the things that
were commanded him? I trow not." (the Greek text bears out that the servant
did not have, present active, or esteem grace therefore his service was not on
the basis of grace but duty.)
