Traditions, The Christ verses the new world order.

[Rev.Anthony Ray Smith]

“Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.”

Tradition; The delivery of opinions,doctrines, practices, rites and customs from father to son, or from ancestors to posterity; the transmission of any opinions or practice from forefathers to descendants by oral communication, without written memorials.

In today’s society we have seen a culture war between the word of God and the forces of darkness, seeking to change what is good and acceptable with God into a new world order of false hope from the acceptance of unrighteousness and false teachings and doctrine that has the effect of deceiving those that have not heard the truth. Governments around the world have become involved in this tradition setting agenda.

The commandments of men have no bearing on the laws of God concerning sin and there consequences. Mans commandments, laws and traditions are based upon mans desire to satisfy the flesh, gain power and oppression which make them useless in the salvation of man. Who in today’s society have sought out Gods council on spiritual matters, yes there are people that say they have evolved on Gods word and what God states as sin really isn’t because God is love and everyone no matter what they believe will be admitted into the kingdom of Heaven, this is a deception and an on going tradition that will ensnare multitudes into a false since of salvation and safety.

Jesus stated directly about mans traditions and so called evolution of their thoughts about righteousness as stated here; “Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition.” When men decide what is sin and what is acceptable with God, they have developed a tradition that will bring about not only their destruction but all that follow after. They are teaching this new world order philosophy to their children which will be passed down to future generations.

I have seen that in today’s society standing up for the name of Jesus is at best a risky business, with the haters of God and His Christ labeling Christians as hatemongers or suing them at law to stop our testimony of Christ. In some countries even mentioning Jesus as the Son of God brings about a death sentence, but we as followers of Christ are told not to fear what men can do to us. These things shall come to pass as we near the end of days and the return of our Savior.

This new world order to many is a government that controls the financial markets, controls the market place where buying and selling is regulated but most of all it attempts to control religion and is comprised of men who are those that are bent on world domination, namely the beast, false prophet and of course the anti-Christ.

This one world government must also control the worlds military, for without their backing and co-operation their agenda would fail. Many believe this control will come from the United Nations with its attempt to control, wars, conflicts and the flow of arms, but to the believing Christian, the U.N. is just a tool that the anti-Christ will use to further his own plans.

Paul declared For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

This passage states what we are witnessing today. Many mainline congregations have taken Gods word and have changed it into fables and false doctrine, preferring their new found traditions over the truth. Who is man that he can change what God has condemned as an abomination and turn it into normal and acceptable behavior. This new world order will attempt to take the place of the true gospel and change times and laws making the word of God irrelevant and of non effect.

Jesus stated of the religious leaders; “Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.” For the scribes and Pharisees were adding traditions to the law putting burdens upon those that would serve God under the law.

Do we not see this same pattern in today’s world, where many churches leave the weightier matters of salvation, repentance and justification to sit by the way side to teach acceptance of all unrighteous behavior as a priority? Teaching that Gods love for mankind will allow unrighteous behavior to be overlooked in the time of judgment.

These churches are mentioned in Paul’s prophecies of the end days; “Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.
For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.”

We must look at this verse for a moment; “Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.” The key word in this verse is, “He.” For it is God that calls, justifies and glorifies those that will be saved, not based upon mans definition of sin but upon His.

God accepts all men who will repent no matter what sin they are bound too, with only one exception, the blaspheme of the Holy Ghost, but will not accept any man who would continue to live in sin. This is clearly stated in scripture, here is one example; “ What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? Simply meaning that once saved, sin has no influence over us, our desire to stay as God found us is not an option, our sins die with the old man as we put on the new.

What happened to the preaching of repentance for the forgiveness of sin, what happened to preaching that God and not man is the only true authority of the Bible, what happened to the preaching of judgment, mercy, and faith.

Judgment is what all men are under and is based upon the righteous statutes and commandments of God, we have all been found guilty of sin, our righteousness is as filthy rags. For a man to be judged of sin, there must be a universal standard to judge all men equally and there is, Gods word, for there is no respect of persons with God. Now that this standard of judgment has been established there comes mercy.

Faith is the cornerstone behind Christianity. Faith is the assent of the mind to the truth of divine revelation, on the authority of God's testimony, accompanied with a cordial assent of the will or approbation of the heart; an entire confidence or trust in God's character and declarations, and in the character and doctrines of Christ. We attain salvation by faith, live by faith, survive this world by faith and we shall, with Gods favor, die with faith.

Mercy is Gods, pity and compassion on men who will acknowledge their sin and ask for forgiveness. For a man to achieve this mercy he must first repent, for without repentance there would be no forgiveness of sin. This is where today’s culture is leading us and this one world order will deceive many, for repentance of sin will never be taught, defining sin is no longer a priority to be taught and in some cases the teaching of what sin is, according to scripture, has become a hindrance to many who desire numbers to fill their churches.

This brings about confusion and damnable heresies within the church. This is Biblical prophecy as stated here; “But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.”

The anti-Christ welcomes this confusion, for it will make it easier for him to establish himself as the religious leader who will bring about a one world government, religion, false prosperity and a false peace. This one world religion will not be concerned with forgiveness of sin nor repentance, for it will be based upon only one thing, the acceptance of the anti-Christ as God incarnate.
