Now, Today, As Members Of The Church The Body of Christ:
.
Our blessings are HEAVENLY
according to Paul in Ephesians 1:3 KJV.
.
Our eternal home and body are in HEAVEN
according to Paul in 2Corinthians 5:1 KJV.

In Contrast, God Has Promised ISRAEL

Recognizing the DIFFERENCES in your KJV Bible will spare you much grief and confusion, and it will save you from suffering loss at the judgment seat of Christ!
.
Whereas, if you FAIL to recognize DIFFERENCES such as the fact that the BODY OF CHRIST and the nation of ISRAEL are two separate agencies of God with two different destinations and purposes, you will make the mistake of walking through life thinking that YOU are "spiritual Israel" and you will wrongly try to follow doctrine from Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, first half of Acts, and Hebrews through Revelation.
And, that will cause you a lot of emotional pain and mental confusion about who you are, what God would have you to do, and how God is working today.
Why?
Because those books in your KJV Bible AREN'T God's instructions TO YOU for your obedience today. Those books, listed above, are all about ISRAEL and were given by God TO ISRAEL ONLY.
To KNOW this truth of God for yourself, simply read and believe Mt 15:24; Ro 15:8 KJV.
.
.
God sent YOU a special apostle named PAUL to deliver TO you God's written commandments for this present dispensation of grace, as a member of the Church the Body of Christ.
And, apostle PAUL even tells you HOW TO STUDY God's written word in 2Timothy 2:15 KJV.
.
.
Through Paul, GOD Writes To YOU:
.
1 Corinthians 14:37 (KJV): "... the things that I WRITE unto you are the COMMANDMENTS of the Lord."
Ephesians 3:2 (KJV): "If ye have heard of the DISPENSATION OF THE GRACE of God which is given me TO YOU-ward:"
2 Timothy 2:15 (KJV): "STUDY to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, RIGHTLY DIVIDING the word of truth."
.
.
When you DON'T obey God's commandment of rightly dividing his word of truth, you invite MISUNDERSTANDING of God's word.
Failing to rightly divide God's word is the same as approaching God INAPPROPRIATELY (pridefully).
And, the result is you receive the WRONG information.
How do I know?
I know because that's what God tells us in the very next Verse after telling us to rightly divide.
Carefully READ 2Timothy 2:16 KJV ...
.
.
God, through Paul, says ...
.
2 Timothy 2:15-16 (KJV): "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
16 But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness."
.
.
In Verse 16, God makes it VERY CLEAR that those who AREN'T rightly dividing his word have no idea what they are talking about (profane and vain babblings), and that they ARE ungodly, and that associating with those who AREN'T rightly dividing God's word WILL increase unto more ungodliness!
.
.
The ONLY way to understand God's written word the way he intends for you to understand it, is to learn about "rightly dividing the word of truth."
You're NOT smarter than God.
You're NOT stronger than God.
Rightly dividing the word of truth is GOD'S ORDAINED METHOD of studying and understanding the KJV Bible.
There is NO way around it!
And, it's NOT optional.
.
Rightly dividing is NOT some man-made system, rather it is GOD'S DESIGN for getting the profit out of his written word that he intends the believer IN Christ to have.
.
.
God has given YOU everything you need to KNOW to manifest Christ in your mortal flesh, in writing!
However, without you properly understanding the holy Spirit's WRITTEN INSTRUCTIONS TO YOU, through rightly dividing, God denies you access to those vital instructions.
God's instructions TO YOU today can ONLY be accessed by you, the believer IN Christ, by faith AFTER you learn "rightly dividing the word of truth."
Rightly dividing the word of truth is the KEY that unlocks the scriptures.
.
.
This is IMPORTANT because the only way a believer IN Christ can avoid suffering loss at the future judgment seat of Christ in heaven, is to RIGHTLY DIVIDE the KJV Bible, beginning with recognizing ...
.
1. WHEN the Church the Body of Christ BEGAN (Acts 9 KJV);
2. WHO your God-appointed apostle, pattern, chief, and masterbuilder is today, and WHO was the FIRST member of the Church the Body of Christ (Paul; 1Tim 1:16; 1Cor 3:10; Ro 15:16; Ro 16:25-26 KJV); and
3. WHERE the doctrine TO YOU in the KJV Bible is located (Paul's Epistles: Romans thru Philemon KJV).
.
.
It is impossible to avoid suffering LOSS of reward at the judgment seat of Christ without learning RIGHTLY DIVIDING the word of truth before you die.
Why is the REWARD so important in heaven?
The reward in heaven dictates your role, rank, and duties in heaven forever!
.
.
And, if you think God will reward you for your good deeds WITHOUT rightly dividing the word of truth, friend, you are sadly mistaken! At the judgment seat of Christ your "good deeds" will be burned up as wood, hay, and stubble, and prove to be worthless to God.
.
.
Dear Christian,
Please, heed this warning.
But, don't believe me!
.
Believe the words of God that Christ gave to PAUL to give to us today ...
.
.

As It Is Written In The KJV
Apostle Paul Writes To The
Church The Body of Christ:
.
Romans 2:16 In the day when GOD SHALL JUDGE the secrets of men by Jesus Christ ACCORDING TO MY GOSPEL.
Romans 14:10 But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? FOR WE SHALL ALL STAND BEFORE THE JUDGMENT SEAT OF CHRIST.
11 For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.
12 So then EVERY ONE OF US SHALL GIVE ACCOUNT OF HIMSELF TO GOD.
Romans 16:25 Now to him that is of power TO STABLISH YOU ACCORDING TO MY GOSPEL, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, ACCORDING TO THE REVELATION OF THE MYSTERY, which was kept secret since the world began,
26 But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the COMMANDMENT of the everlasting God, made known TO ALL NATIONS FOR THE OBEDIENCE OF FAITH:
1 Corinthians 12:27 Now YE ARE THE BODY OF CHRIST, and members in particular.
1 Timothy 1:15 This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I AM CHIEF.
16 Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in ME FIST Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a PATTERN to them which SHOULD HEREAFTER believe on him to life everlasting.
1 Corinthians 3:9 For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building.
10 ACCORDING TO THE GRACE OF GOD WHICH IS GIVEN UNTO ME, AS A WISE MASTERBUILDER, I HAVE LAID THE FOUNDATION, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.
11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
12 Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;
13 Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.
14 If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.
15 If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.
1 Corinthians 14:37 If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that THE THINGS THAT I WRITE UNTO YOU ARE THE COMMANDMENTS OF THE LORD.
38 But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant.
2 Corinthians 5:10 FOR WE MUST ALL APPEAR BEFORE THE JUDGMENT SEAT OF CHRIST; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.
Ephesians 3:1 For this cause I PAUL, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles,
2 If ye have heard of THE DISPENSATION OF THE GRACE OF GOD WHICH IS GIVEN ME TO YOU-WARD:
3 How that by revelation HE MADE KNOWN UNTO ME THE MYSTERY;(as I wrote afore in few words,
4 WHEREBY, WHEN YE READ, YE MAY UNDERSTAND MY KNOWLEDGE IN THE MYSTERY OF CHRIST)
5 Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;
6 That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise IN CHRIST BY THE GOSPEL:
7 WHEREOF I WAS MADE A MINISTER, ACCORDING TO THE GIFT OF GRACE GIVEN UNTO ME by the effectual working of his power.
2 Corinthians 5:16 Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, YET NOW HENCEFORTH KNOW WE HIM NO MORE.
17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
Colossians 1:21 And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled
22 In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight:
23 If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of THE GOSPEL, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; WHEREOF I PAUL AM MADE A MINISTER;
24 Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for HIS BODY'S SAKE, WHICH IS THE CHURCH:
25 WHEREOF I AM MADE A MINISTER, ACCORDING TO THE DISPENSATION OF GOD WHICH IS GIVEN TO ME FOR YOU, to fulfil the word of God;
26 EVEN THE MYSTERY which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints:
2 Timothy 2:7 CONSIDER WHAT I SAY; AND THE LORD GIVE THEE UNDERSTANDING IN ALL THINGS.
2 Timothy 2:15 STUDY to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, RIGHTLY DIVIDING the word of truth.
16 But SHUN profane and vain babblings: for they WILL increase unto more ungodliness.
Philippians 3:17 Brethren, BE FOLLOWERS TOGETHER OF ME, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample.
18 (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ:
19 Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)
20 For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:
21 Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.
2 Timothy 2:1 Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
2 AND THE THINGS THAT THOU HAS HEARD OF ME among many witnesses, THE SAME commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to TEACH OTHERS ALSO.
Ephesians 1:2 Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in HEAVENLY PLACES in Christ:
2 Corinthians 5:1 For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, ETERNAL IN THE HEAVENS.

The Difference Between Israel and The Body of Christ
Title: The Difference Between Israel and The Body of Christ

TWO-FOLD PLAN OF GOD
God created TWO AGENCIES to reconcile Satan's rebellion both on EARTH and in the HEAVENS:
1st - NATION OF ISRAEL (God's Earthly people)... View MoreTWO-FOLD PLAN OF GOD
God created TWO AGENCIES to reconcile Satan's rebellion both on EARTH and in the HEAVENS:
1st - NATION OF ISRAEL (God's Earthly people)
2nd - THE CHURCH THE BODY OF CHRIST (God's Heavenly people)
These two different agencies require TWO OPERATING SYSTEMS: Law vs Grace.
These two distinct and opposing spiritual operating systems (Romans 10:4,11:6 KJV) were REVEALED IN TWO DIFFERENT WAYS by God: Prophecy vs Mystery. One was revealed since the world began (Luke 1:70; Acts 3:21 KJV), the latter was kept secret since the world began (Romans 16:25 KJV) until revealed in due time (1Timothy 2:6-7 KJV).
NATION OF ISRAEL --> God's word to them was given via PROPHECY with the Law as their operating system.
BODY OF CHRIST--> God's word given to us via the MYSTERY with the dispensation of Grace being our operating system.
TWO different and separate groups of people and TWO different and separate operating instructions revealed by God in TWO different ways. These TWO aren't to be mixed or combined; they are to be kept separate as they are distinct and contrary to one another in many ways. However, both agencies are designed by God to fulfill God's ultimate plan and purpose of centering everything in the universe in His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ.
ISRAEL - Prophecy - Law - Earthly promises (12 apostles)
BODY OF CHRIST - Mystery - Grace - Heavenly promises (1 apostle: Paul)
Paul was most definitely a follower of Jesus Christ (1Co 11:1 KJV)!
However, Paul was a follower of Christ's HEAVENLY ministry via the Mystery, and not Jesus' EARTHLY ministry which was to the Jews only through Prophecy.
Mark 1:1 (KJV): "The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God; [2] As it is written in the PROPHETS," ... Acts 3:21 (KJV): "... which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy PROPHETS SINCE THE WORLD BEGAN."
Romans 16:25 (KJV): "NOW to him that is of power to stablish you according to MY GOSPEL, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, ACCORDING TO THE REVELATION OF THE MYSTERY, which was KEPT SECRET since the world began," ~apostle PAUL
While God gave the Law to Moses to give to the nation of Israel, Jesus from Heaven had apostle Paul to dispense the gospel of GRACE to all nations.
Apostle Paul Writes,
1 Timothy 2:6 (KJV): “[ i.e. Christ ] Who gave himself a ransom for all, TO BE TESTIFIED IN DUE TIME.”
1 Timothy 2:4-7 (KJV): "[ i.e. God the Father ] Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; Who gave himself a ransom for all, TO BE TESTIFIED IN DUE TIME. WHEREUNTO I AM ORDAINED a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not;) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity."
Ephesians 3:2-3 (KJV): "If ye have heard of the DISPENSATION OF
THE GRACE of God which is GIVEN ME to you-ward: How that by revelation he made known unto me the MYSTERY;"
Paul was the due time testifier of God's GRACE via the Mystery.
_________________________
Genesis thru Mid Acts KJV=
PROPHECY (Time Past)
Romans thru Philemon KJV=
MYSTERY (But Now)
Hebrews thru Revelation KJV =
PROPHECY (Ages To Come)
( NOTE: The book of ACTS is the record of God changing the program from Law to Grace, from Prophecy to Mystery, from Peter's authority to Paul's authority, from Israel to the Body of Christ. )
_______________________________
The basic CHARACTERISTIC of "Time Past" and "Ages To Come" is that God distinguishes between the CIRCUMCISION and the UNCIRCUMCISION (Jews vs Gentiles) and separates them from one another.
The basic CHARACTERISTIC of the "But Now" scriptures/time period is that God DOESN'T distinguish between the circumcision and the uncircumcision. In the "But Now" both Jews and Gentiles are saved by Grace through faith without the works of the Law, and they are one and a new creature in Christ.
_________________________________
NEW COVENANT, OLD COVENANT & THE DISPENSATION OF GRACE DIFFERENCES
These differences are critical.
The NEW COVENANT is God’s blessing of grace through Israel, their covenants, and their law written in their hearts.
The FELLOWSHIP OF THE MYSTERY is God’s grace given to all freely without Israel, without their earthly covenants, and without their law written in hearts.
Whereas under the OLD COVENANT God was the law giver, and under the NEW COVENANT God in Christ was the law keeper, under the FELLOWSHIP OF THE MYSTERY God in Christ is the law remover (Rom 6:14; Col 2:14).
Whereas the OLD COVENANT was given to Israel, and the NEW COVENANT was given to believing Israel,
the FELLOWSHIP OF THE MYSTERY is for all that believe the gospel of Christ: Jew or Gentile (2 Cor 5:17; Eph 2:15; Col 3:11). There is no place in the one body of the mystery for a separation between Israel and Gentile.
Whereas the OLD and NEW COVENANTS are the subject of PROPHECY to fulfill God’s promise of blessing through Israel,
the FELLOWSHIP OF THE MYSTERY was not revealed in any promise from God since the world began (Rom 16:25).
The FELLOWSHIP OF THE MYSTERY is not the fulfillment of any covenant, prophecy, or promise given to Israel. The DISPENSATION OF GRACE was hid in God until revealed to the apostle Paul for the church today (Eph 3:1-2; Eph 3:9-11).

It is vital to know that the modern bible versions change the wording so much in their text that the dispensational truths are hidden and often times completely destroyed. Whereas, in the Holy Bible
Authorized King James Version, God's dispensational distinctions are PRESERVED and clearly understood when we are rightly dividing the word of truth.
Therefore, it is wise for any serious Bible student to make the text of the KJV Bible their final and absolute AUTHORITY

We live in a unique time in history when salvation can be explained.
The explanation does not come from science, linguistics, or philosophy. It is the result of God revealing the mystery of the gospel, the secret to our salvation.
It was not always this way. God had offered salvation and forgiveness since the world began, but it was not known how a just God could save sinners.
Explaining salvation was a mystery.
Job asked, “how should man be just with God?” Job 9:2
David pleaded for lovingkindness and mercy when he sinned: “Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.” Psalm 51:1
Why should a just God give a murderer and an adulterer forgiveness?
David later wrote: “ If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?” (Psa 143:2
But how could a just God not mark iniquities. The only defense David had was, “we are all sinners”.
Solomon, blessed with God’s wisdom, did not know how God could save either. He recognized that “For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not.”
His advice was to “fear God, and keep his commandments”.
Besides, “ who can tell if God will turn and repent, and turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not?” (Jonah 3:9)
No one could tell. Salvation was a mystery. God was merciful, he was forgiving, he offered salvation, but no one could explain how a just God could justify sinners who had nothing but faith.
Many people who want to be saved today know that salvation is needed and that God can provide it, but are ignorant of the gospel of salvation.
Salvation was a mystery, and it will remain a mystery until people acknowledge the message revealed to the apostle Paul, the chief of sinners saved by grace.
“Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might shew forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting.” – 1 Tim 1:16
Salvation was part of God’s purpose kept secret since the world began, hidden wisdom from before the world, that was revealed to Paul to teach and preach to the world.
“Who hath saved us … according to his own purpose… but now is made manifest… whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle…” – 2 Tim 1:9-11
2 Tim 3:15 says the scriptures are able to make us wise unto salvation, but we do not see salvation understood throughout the scriptures. It is not until the final scriptures were written by the apostle to the Gentiles, the apostle Paul, that we can explain the manifold wisdom of God to bring salvation to all (Eph 3:9-11).
Salvation was a mystery. The mystery has now been revealed. How could a just God justify sinners? On what basis?
“God hath set forth [Christ Jesus] to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.” – Rom 3:26
It is now known to be by the grace of God through the Lord Jesus Christ to all that believe:
“For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men” – Titus 2:11
