19)Whosoever therefore
shall break one of these
least commandments, and
shall teach men so ,he shall
be called the least in the
kingdom of heaven: but
whosoever shall do and
teach them, the same shall
be called great in the
kingdom of heaven

WHOSOEVER THEREFORE
SHALL BREAK ONE THESE
LEAST COMMANDMENT
Whosoever shall himself
transgress, annul or make
invalid in his practice, or
misrepresent and weaken
the doctrine of JESUS
CHRIST and shall direct or
encourage men to do the
same, or teach them, either
by example that the
obligation of the word and
the commandment to be
void, he shall undeserving
member of the kingdom of
heaven.
A person must do and teach
the law in order to be great
in the kingdom of heaven, a
preacher or teacher by what
he has does, each teacher
either adhere or reject the
doctrine, each teacher or
preacher must teach and
preach the truth to his
students or else they will
deceive his student to
follow man made doctrine,
which makes the word of
GO of no effect.
The person who teaches
and preaches the word of
GOD with mans doctrine in
and attempt to void the
|
|
doctrine of CHRIST, that is
do away with , continues to
disobey the commandments
is denying the
commandments, treating as
though it is not important
and unnecessary is teaching
and preaching that men
should not obey the law
JESUS CHRIST warned all
who break and teach others
to break the
commandment, even if they
break only the least
commandment: they shall
be the least in the kingdom
of heaven, the type of
teaching and preaching that
JESUS warned:
* The worldly or carnal:
the person who
continues to break the
commandments of GOD
* The false teacher and
preacher who teaches
that the commandment
of GOD is false and does
not exist and only
commandment of men
* The preacher and
teacher who teaches
and encourage others
to and to sin and
disobey the
commandments of GOD
* The preacher and
teacher who teaches
that the kingdom of
GOD is all about money
Mammon,
covetousness, which is
idolatry
The obedient person who
teaches and preaches the
commandments will expect
great reward

|
a) He shall be called
great in heaven
b) He is loved in a
special way by both
GOD and CHRIST
JOHN 14:10,14)
c) He receives very
special
manifestations of
CHRIST presence
The person who fails to
teach and do by
disobeying the Law:
I. The person who
neglects the law, just
fail to-do it
II. The person disobeys
the law by not saying
it or doing it
III. The person who
does not know the
law cannot do it
because he does not
know it
IV. The person who
narrows the Law,
that is, limits it and
weakens it, make
the law apply only to
what they want,
because it allows
them to do their
own thing

FOR THE PHARISEES AND
ALL THE JEWS EXCEPT THEY
WASH THEIR HAND
Before each meal, devout
Jews performed short
ceremony washing their
hands and arms in a specific
way, which has no spiritual
profit or benefit, which the
Pharisees believe they are
unclean in the sight of GOD,
the disciples did not have

cups, and pots, brazen
vessels and tables
5)Then the Pharisees and
scribes asked him, why walk
not thy disciples according
to the tradition of the
elders, but eat bread with
and unwashed hands?
6) He answered and said
unto them, well hath Isaiah
prophesied of you
hypocrites, as it is written,
this people honoreth me
with their lips, but their
hearth is far from me
7)Howbeit in vain do they
worship me, teaching for
doctrines the
commandments of men
8)For laying aside the
commandment of GOD, ye
hold the tradition of men, as
the washing of pots and

like things ye do
9)And he said unto them
full well ye reject the
commandment of GOD, that
ye may keep your own
tradition
10)For Moses said, Honor
thy Father and Mother: and
whoso Curseth Father or

death
11)But ye say, if a man shall
say to the Father or Mother,
it is Corban, that is to say a
gift, by whatsoever thou
mighttest be profited by
me; he shall be free

more to do aught for his
Father or his Mother

ritual of traditional

The Pharisees believe that
the ceremonial ritual of
hand and arms cleansing,
will cleansed them
spiritually from any contact
considers unclean, some
Christians behave like
Pharisees, worry about
contact with unbeliever
avoiding “Worldly” place so
called, which will stop JESUS
from working, JESUS want
us to go out to the world
and preach the Gospel of
salvation for eternal life.
WELL HATH ESAIAS
PROPHESIED OF YOU
PHYPOSITES
JESUS took the charge of
the religionist and turned it
against them, he quoted
from Scripture, applying
ISAIAH’s word to their
spiritual condition
ISAIAH 29:13 he Called
them hypocrites, his word
was strong and forceful,
they honored GOD with
their lips, but their heart
was far away from him.
Hypocrites gives lip service,
while keeping his heart far
from GOD, he acknowledges
GOD and attends worship,
but this is about all he does,
his heart is far away from
GOD, they refuse to
personally accept JESUS
CHRIST as the SON of GOD,
the Messiah and savior of
the world, not in the dept
of their heart
IN VAIN DO THEY WORSHIP
GOD
JESUS accused the
religionist of worshipping
GOD in vain, with empty
heart, which was the mean
reason JESUS came to set
aside the ceremonial rule of
the washing of pot, cups,
pots, brazen vessels, tables ,
beds; these the Pharisees
taught the people, and
enjoined them to observe:
instead of instructing them
in the doctrine of the Bible,
respecting the Messiah, and
salvation by him, the right
fear, and true worship of
GOD, his ordnances and
statutes.
a person who denies
CHRIST and GOD word
cannot say to be truly
worshiping GOD, he may
worship, but his worship is
worthless, unacceptable,
empty thing devoid of life,
power and spirituality ,
unacceptable to GOD only
professional religionist
whose heart is covetous ,
worldly, and self.
A religionist teach man’s
commandment, by practice
the commandment of men
and laying aside the
commandment of GOD and
hold the tradition of men
and broke GOD’S law, use it
for their own advantage and
selfish gain.
The word of GOD says
Honor your Father and
Mother, that is obey and
love them, and help by
providing for them, when in
want and distress, through
|
|
|
poverty and old age, in line
with the commandment of
GOD to the extent that any
one that speaks evil of
father and Mother, neglect
them by not providing for
them,let him die the death:
that is let him surely die,
without any hope of
pardon.
Our LORD JESUS means
this: that if he who by the
words only speaks evil of his
Father and Mother is by ,
law, guilty of death, how
much more is he guilty of
death wrongs them by
deed, and deprives them of
that support which he owes
them the law, but the
religionist teaches say it is
Coban a gift dedicated to
GOD, the Pharisees and
scribe did that for their own
covetous ends
They compelling a son to
abstain from any care and
provision for his father and
mother, by so doing, they
make the word of GOD of
no effect by their tradition
the religionist skillfully and
cunningly in laying aside
GOD’S commandments and
substituting in their place
those of men, for their
selfish interest

MARK 9:42

42)And whosoever shall
offend one of these little
ones that believe in me, it
better for that a milestone
were hanged about his
neck, and he were cast into
the sea
|
WHOSOEVER SHALL
OFFEND ONE OF THESE
LITTLE ONES THAT BELIEVE
IN ME
JESUS CHRIST mentioned
the terrible sin of causing
any or leading anyone to
sin, for CHRIST is not
speaking of little children in
|
|
age only , his new followers,
that will cause them to
stumble, that is leading
them to sin.
The little ones are those
who believe in JESUS
CHRIST, believers are
children of GOD, any new
beginner in faith, and any
person who is a child-like
faith and spirit in CHRIST
MATTHEW 18:3-4
JESUS CHRIST says, the
most terrible sin is leading
another person to sin and
cause the soul to stumble
and such would be lost into
eternal destruction, by
the dreadfulness of this sin
,it would be the better
alternative given, if the
person will be put off to be
hang a huge stone about his
neck and cast himself into
the sea than to lead another
person to sin, what JESUS
conveys by this warning is
that no sin is worth going to
HELL,
JESUS points the stone
around the offending neck
so that the body will never
rise up to be properly
buried or seen, the sin of
leading other people astray
is terrible, and the offender
must know the faith that is
awaiting them

LUKE 17:1-2
|
1)Then said he unto the
disciples, it is impossible but
that offenses will come; but
woe unto him, through
whom they come
2)It were better for him
that a millstone were
hanged about his neck, and
he cast into the sea, than
that he should offend one of
these little ones
|
THEN SAID HE UNTO THE
DISCIPLES
It is impossible but that
offence will come;
considering the wickedness
of men, the general
corruption of human
nature, the snare of the
world and the temptation
by Satan in both in principle
and practice offense must
come that, which will be
trying to the faith, and a
stumbling block to weak
minds, as reproach, error,
and heresies
BUT WOE ON TO HIM
THROUGH WHOM THEY
COME
Believers are warned as to
love their soul, to guard
against the offense and the
danger of being stumbling
block in the way of others;
stumbling block is anyone
who make a false teacher
and preacher, anyone who
claims to be a follower of
CHRIST, but he is not, the
false teacher scandalized
the name of JESUS CHRIST,
he is a Hypocrites who
causes others to stay away
from JESUS CHRIST, they not
shut up the kingdom of
heaven against themselves,
but they lead men into a
false, hypocritical religion
and shut them out of the
kingdom of heaven
IT IS BETTER FOR HIM
The sin of leading others
astray is the most awful sin
that can be committed, the
person will be held at the
bottom of the sea by most
terrible weight

ROMANS 2:26-27

26) therefore if the
uncircumcision keep the
righteousness of the law,
shall not his uncircumcision
be counted for circumcision
27)And shall not
uncircumcision which is by
nature, if it fulfills the law,
judge thee, who by the
|
THEREFOR IF THE
UNCIRCUMCISION KEEP
THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF
THE LAW SHALL
The religionist believes that
a ritual for example,
circumcision, baptism, or
church memberships is the
|
|
letter and circumcision dost
transgress the law?
|
way to secure GOS”S grace,
or approval:
If any such persons could
be found among the
uncircumcised so called
(Gentiles) who keep the
whole law of GOD: and from
the principle of grace and
act of obedience to the law:
who look to CHRIST as the
fulfilling of the,
righteousness, shall not his
righteousness be counted as
circumcision?
The Gentile who keeps the
law as under the influence
of the his Spirit and grace
and keep it in CHRIST, is
reckoned a circumcised
person spiritually and
regenerated: that is born of
the spirit.
But is seen in the case of
Cornelius , who having
come to the knowledge of
the truth contained in it do
manifest he grace of the
covenant, thus this is by
calling from the Gentiles a
that had never received
circumcision ACTS 10.1-48
* Church membership has
value for a man if he
understands the law and
word of GOD and does it
* A person is acceptable
to GOD because he lives
for GOD and obey shim,
not because he has
undergone rituals or the
activities of the
ceremonial laws
* A man is not accepted
because he joins a
church or is baptized,
he becomes acceptable
to GOD because he
obeys GOD, and GOD”s
basic commandments
1 JOHN 3:23
The uncircumcised man
who keeps the law actually
judges the man who has
been circumcised and
breaks the law, the basis of
judgment is not to be ritual,
whether baptism or church
membership; it is
obedience, no ritual will
ever save a man if he
transgress the law, and no
ritual will ever cause a man
to be lost if he keeps the
law

15)But if thy brother be
grieved with thy meat, now
walkest thou not charitably,
destroy not him with thy
meat, for whom CHRIST
died
16)Let not then your good
be evil spoken of
17)For the kingdom of GOD
is not meat and drink: but
righteousness, and peace,
and joy in the Holy Ghost
|
If you are a stumbling block
to any brother, means and
obstacles placed in the way
of someone, to either
mislead , set a trap and to
do something that causes a
person to stumbled and fall,
which leading somebody to
sin or causing, let us not
therefore judge one another
more with respect to the
observance or non
observance of rules relating
the foods and drinks, days
and time of worship, but
leave all to the day of
judgment
But judge this rather: that
no man put stumbling block
on any one’s ways to make
him to fall, especially to the
weak brethren, either to eat
flesh, nor drink wine.
The kingdom of GOD is the
believer’s concern , the
kingdom is not eating and
|
|
drinking: is not concerned
with external matters but
with the heart, it is not a sin
to abstain from food and
drink or to eat and drink,
the believer is to concern
with people relationship
with GOD and with himself,
not with the right to eat,
drink , his primary purpose
is to build men up not to
make them to stumble with
rules, regulation of eating,
drinking
The kingdom of GOD is
RIGHTEOUSNESS: being and
doing with is right;
especially, establishing and
maintaining in the highest
possible godly conduct
between GOD and man
PEACE :Being in a right
relationship with both GOD
and man and working for
the highest possible good
between GOD and man
JOY: Experience the
fulfilment and happiness of
a right relationship with
GOD and man: bearing the
fruit of the spirit
The believer must love his
neighbor and fellow man so
as not grieving and causing
him to stumble

1 CORINTHAINS 7:19
|
19) Circumcision is nothing,
and uncircumcision is
nothing , but the keeping of
the commandment of GOD
|
CIRCUMCISION IS
NOTHING:
In the affair of justification
be for GOD, and acceptance
with him: it cannot make
any man righteous in the
sight of GOD, or is evidence
of man”s calling or having
the truth of the grace of
GOD in him and give him
salvation.
External rituals and form in
religion do not matter, they
do not save a person, nor do
they make a person
acceptable or unacceptable
to GOD, what really matters
is the heart: to love GOD
and to do his will
The believer who pleases
GOD is the believer who
loves and trust the LORD so
much that he obeys GOD,
and he trust him in such a
degree that knows that
what says is the very best
thing to do and long to
please him by doing exactly
what he says.

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 accused
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 accused
10)For do I now persuade
men, or GOD? Or do I seek
to please men? For if I yet
please men, I should not be
the servant of CHRIST

PREACHER OF FALSE
GOSPEL- are cursed, the
Gospel is the means by
which men are saved out of
the grip of sin, death and
condemnation, without the
Gospel no person can be
saved, no person can be
acceptable to GOD, no
person can inherit eternal
life, the believer are to
assert the more strongly the
truth, purity, and perfection
of the Gospel, as preached
by the Disciples and to deter
persons from preaching
another Gospel.
The Gospel is greater than
the Apostles and the angels
from heaven , even if an
angel came from heaven
and began to preach
another Gospel, he was to
be rejected, for he too will
be caused, the glorious
message of the Gospel is far
more important than the
angels in heaven, the
Gospel is greater than any
person, that we are not to
patronize such preachers,
no matter what their Zeal or
their apparent success, or
their real boldness, we are
to withdraw from them and
their doctrine, we are not to
add or diminish from Divine
revelations:
The preacher of the false
Gospel shall suffer the
judgment of double curse,
eternal punishment, place
under the wrath of GOD as
they cause many to fall and
go into eternal
condemnation.
FOR DO I NOW PERSUADE
MEN OR TO PLEASE MEN
The Gospel is not sought to
please men but GOD, is not
to seek the favor or
approval of men instead of
GOD, striving to please men
instead of GOD, double
speak to please each group
or people, living a life of
duplicity and deception in
order to secure support of
people, , a true believer is
not to expect to please
people, he must not be
disappointed but be
committed to preach and
teach the glorious Gospel.
The Gospel must be preach
not to please man but to
please GOD

EPHESIANS 5:6

6)Let no man deceive you
with vain words; for
because of these things
cometh the wrath of GOD
upon the children of
disobedience
7)Be not ye therefore
partakers with them
|
VAIN WORDS:
False and deceitful, vain
philosophy, vain babblings,
with foolish and filthy
talking: such deceivers with
false doctrine lay in wait to
deceive men with such vain
pretenses and there was
danger of being carried
away with their error: for
the heart is deceitful and
desperately wicked, and is
easily taken in such a
snares: wherefore the
believers are cautions
against such deception.
For because of these thins,
the wrath of GOD cometh
upon the children of
disobedience in eternal ruin

14)Blotting out the
handwriting of ordnances
that was against us, which
was contrary to us, and took
it out of the way, nailing it
to his cross
|
BLOTTING OUT THE
HANDWRITING OF
ORDNANCES
The writings of the Mosaic
law, or the law appointing
many ordinances written by
the hand of GOD, which
prescribe numerous rites
and ceremonies of the law,
that is against our peace,
happiness, comfort, which is
oppressive and
burdensome, that operate
as true hindrance to the
enlarged spirit of true
religion in that it did serve
to convict , and terrify with
the curse for our default
aggravated by its
ceremonies, and shutting
the gate of GOD’S house
against us, yet this
obligation was abrogated
and annulled by the death
of CHRIST, having not only
said that the debt
AND TOOK IT OUT OF THE
WAY:
Taken out of the way, as
the debtor’s bond or
obligation is being cancelled
and torn to pieces, so that
there is no memorial or
evidence of the debt
NAILING IT TO HIS CROSS;
|
|
JESUS CHRIST has taken the
law or the list of charges
against us and nailed them
to his cross: this means:
JESUS CHRIST took it the law
away for man, and fulfilled
the law perfectly, he lived a
sinless life as a Man upon
earth, by so doing he
became a standard or the
higher law for man.
Man is now to look to
JESUS CHRIST and follow
him as the standard of life,
the law is set out of the
way, CHRIST has now
fulfilled the law and became
standard for men
CHRIST “nailed the law to
the cross, that is CHRIST
bore the Judgement and
punishment pass down by
the law upon man and paid
the penalty himself, in
obeying the law perfectly
CHRIST became the pattern
and ideal for all men, it is
the righteousness: his
righteousness cover all men.
His death covers all men, his
life is the ideal life it covers
all men.
When a person trusts and
believes JESUS CHRIST as
his savior, GOD removes
the list of charges against
the person.
