The Mutilation

Judaism

“And certain men came down from Judea and taught the brethren, ‘Unless you are

circumcised according to the custom of Moses, you cannot

be saved.’”Acts 15:1

“I wish that those who trouble you would even mutilate themselves”

Galatians 5:12

“beware of the Mutilation! For we are the circumcision who

worship God in the spirit”

Philippians 3:2-3

“I marvel that you are turning away so soon from Him who called you in the

grace of Christ, to a different gospel”

Galatians 1:6

“there are some who trouble you and want to

pervert the gospel of Christ”

Galatians 1:7

“I would like to be present with you now and change my tone; for I have doubts

about you”Galatians 4:20

“You have become estranged from Christ, you who attempt to be justified

by law; you have fallen from grace”Galatians 5:4

“You ran well who hindered you from obeying the

truth? This persuasion does not come from Him

who calls you”Galatians 5:7-8

Character of the Error

• A Little Leaven leavens the whole lump– Galatians 5:9

• Error is preached to please men– Galatians 1:10-11– Galatians 2:4-6– Galatians 2:11-13– Galatians 4:17– Galatians 6:14

• Still seeks to justify as the end result– Galatians 2:16, 21, 3:11, 5:4


• Error deceives to “not obey the truth”– Galatians 3:1– Galatians 5:7– Galatians 6:7– “You are saved because you are a Jew”

• Not “another” gospel, but a perverted one– Galatians 1:6-7– Galatians 5:8-9 (leaven)


• Fails to recognize the conditions of Covenant II between God & Man– Galatians 4:21-31– 3 greatest mistakes about understanding

Covenant II• Not understanding the Old one was replaced

Hebrews 8:7,13 • Not understanding that there are 2 parts to a

Covenant • Not understanding who is responsible for man’s lost

state. Man is in need of salvation because of Man’s choice to sin NOT God’s failure to create him Upright READ Eccl 7:29

Character of the Truth

• Constantly goes to the Scriptures– Galatians 3:8,10,11,12,13,16,22– Galatians 4:22,27,30

• Cannot change– Galatians 1:8-9, 12 not Paul, angel,

anyone– Galatians 3:15 no one adds to or annuls – Galatians 5:10 No other mind


• Already delivered– Galatians 1:6-9 not angel, Paul,

anyone– Galatians 4:4-5 in the fullness of time– Jude 3 Once for all delivered– Hebrews 1:1-2 God has spoken by His

Son


• Truth remains the same, Perversions were predicted by Word (truth)– II Corinthians 11:12-15 Satan & ministers

parade as angels of light– I Timothy 4:1-3 Latter times deceiving

doctrines– II Timothy 4:3 Time come for heaps of

teachers preaching to ‘itching’ ears– II Thessalonians 2:7 Lawless one “already” at

work

The Inoculation

Sinner’s Prayer

Sinner’s PrayerDear Jesus, I acknowledge you as the

Son of God and that you died for my sins. I invite you to come into my heart and live. Please forgive

me of all the sins I committed, both past and future. I know I am not

worthy, but accept you as my personal Lord and Savior.

Sinner’s Prayer• Problems with this Prayer

– You don’t pray to Jesus, but to the Father in His name

– There are several versions of the prayer

– It is not found in wording or principle anywhere in the Bible

– It ignores man’s part in the covenant

1730’s• Sinners made to sit in

The Living Bible

“Even in His own land and among His own people, the Jews, He was not accepted. Only a few welcomed and received Him. But to all who received Him, He gave the right to become children of God. All they needed to do was trust him to save them. All those who believe this are reborn! - not a physical rebirth resulting from human passion or plan – but from the will of God

-John 1:11-13Living Bible

The Inoculation• Immunity comes from confidence in a

some truth• Salvation by Faith is not “faith in your

salvation”• Believing the Word of the Gospel saves you• The Covenant II requires obedience• “Sinners prayer” did not come from God• The Gospel is from God,• “Obeying the Gospel” saves you
