Christianity is founded on a Rock. The Rock is Christ, slain to make an atonement for our sins, risen to guarantee salvation for all who place their trust in Him. On this sure foundation has been built an assortment of errors and myths that have made Christianity a religion that bears little resemblance to the new covenant.

An age of moral horrors soon is to engulf the world. The assortment of myths and errors we term the "Christian religion" will be weighed in the balances and found wanting.

God is calling out of the churches (not out of the buildings but out of the errors) a holy, warlike remnant of saints. They will proceed to establish their lives according to the Scriptures. They will be more than conquerors throughout the age of moral horrors and will encourage and assist many who otherwise would be swept away into the darkness.

We Christians may understand the Law of Moses but it appears that in some instances we may not understand the grace and truth that came by Christ.

We Gentiles have made a religion of Christianity. This is error number one. There is only one Divine salvation, one revelation of God to man. The Divine revelation was given to Abraham and then to the patriarchs. The same revelation, not a different revelation, continued through the Lord Jesus Christ.

God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; (Hebrews 1:1,2)

We understand, therefore, that biblical Judaism and biblical Christianity are one and the same religion—if we wish to term Divine revelation a religion.

In biblical (to distinguish it from Jewish commentaries) Judaism we have the forms of the Kingdom of God. In biblical Christianity (to distinguish it from the potpourri of errors and myths that accompany Christian theology and liturgies) we gain understanding of the forms of Judaism and we find eternal life through them.

For instance, the blood-stained altar of Judaism is the form of which the cross of Calvary is the life-giving fulfillment.

The lampstand of Judaism is the form of which the Holy Spirit is the fulfillment.

The booth of Judaism is the form of which the dwelling of the Father and the Son through the Holy Spirit in the believer is the fulfillment.

We have made Christianity a religion that competes with all other religions, including Judaism. Perhaps this is why we cannot understand new-covenant grace. Perhaps this is why we have gone far afield in our thinking until the original revelation no longer is recognizable.

Judaism and Christianity are one and the same—the same God; the same Holy Spirit; the same Prophets. The Old Testament reveals God to us Christians. (What would we do without the twenty-third and ninety-first Psalms?) The New Testament reveals the meaning of the people, things, and events of the Old.

To be continued.
