Hardly Anyone Understands Justification By Faith

Justification by faith is being declared to be righteous by God simply by believing God that we are righteous. This evangel (good news) would be readily believed were it not for ANOTHER evangel in the New Testament stating that confession of sin to God is the only way for one to become right before God. This evangel is shockingly NOT based on the cross of Christ (for it was heralded BEFORE the cross), but rather on the confession of sin.

This evangel is known as “The Evangel of the Circumcision” and it is the evangel brought to Israel via Moses, via Peter, via Jesus while He was on earth. It is NOT the evangel brought to the nations via Paul, via the glorified Son of God Who was no longer confined to Israel truth when He called Saul the Pharisee on the road to Damascus.

Strange that, when confronted with both these gospels, the majority of the human race will ignore all of Paul’s amazing declarations concerning sin, in Romans, in order to believe the Israel gospel found via the Circumcision writers—Peter, James, John, and Jude. Why is that? Two reasons. 1) Humans would rather be accountable for their sins and have a part in their expiation rather than be the beneficiaries of the grace of God which does not include them, and 2) most of the human race remains unaware that the evangel of Paul and the evangel of Peter are not meant to be reconciled (it is impossible for them to be) and certainly not mixed.

Welcome to the end of all confusion.

The Israel Gospel Not Founded Upon the Cross

The cross of Christ heralded by Paul occasioned a new humanity. But with a new humanity comes the erasure of national distinction. Thus, the cross of Christ becomes fatal to the Israelite message, which has Israel as the head of the nations during the Millennium. This is why the Israel gospel is not founded upon the cross, but rather upon a recognition of Jesus Christ as the Messiah of Israel.

For us, however, the cross is the centerpiece of our evangel. It is not only the basis of a new humanity, but for justification by faith. “We are reckoning a man to be justified by faith apart from works of law” (Romans 3:28). Justification and law do not commingle. Yet during the thousand-year Israel kingdom, law is front and center. Thus, even during the thousand-years Israel does not come into the truth of justification by faith.

God could not justify the old humanity, and so He put it to death. This is advanced (and advance) truth only for the body of Christ. Thus, no one embracing the Israel gospel of repentance and forgiveness is able to grasp the truth of justification by faith. God does not give it to them. And neither does He give them truths pertaining to the new creation. No, but they are (or will be) a reformed old creation. As odd as this seems to us, it is an Israelite undertaking.

I only ask that these people stay the heck away from our evangel.

None of Jesus’ Disciples Even Mention “The Cross of Christ”

“The cross of Christ” is mentioned neither in the book of Hebrews, nor in any of Peter’s letters, nor in John’s three letters. This is because the manner of Christ’s death is irrelevant to Israel’s gospel. The cross of Christ is still, to this day, a mystery to Israel. Not even our Lord’s disciples heralded it. How could they, when they didn’t even understand it? Nothing in the old covenant types could explain what happened on Calvary.

The death of Christ is important to Israel, yes, but the MANNER of His death they still cannot comprehend.

Only one man understood—and was meant to understand—the meaning of the depth of Christ’s six hours of suffering upon the Roman stake. To only one man was the secret of the cross revealed: the apostle Paul.

The cross of Christ abolished the fleshly advantage of Israel, considering all humanity­—as the progeny of Adam—to be fit only for death. The cross of Christ therefore put the old humanity itself to death, opening the way to justification by faith to those who believe. Additionally, the cross of Christ was also God’s means of reconciling the heavens and the earth—the entire population of the universe—to Himself.

Nowhere will you find justification by faith in any Israel book of the Bible. These epic themes are not the themes of Israel because the cross is not the theme of Israel. Their theme, their message, is forgiveness of sins for Israelites and the proselytes of Israel. For this, they need only grasp Jesus as the Messiah of Israel, the Lamb of God—and certainly not as the Progenitor of a new humanity, tortured for six hours on a Romans stake.

Oh, and they are also required to repent 24 hours a day.
