Paul Taught Believers to Break God’s Commands with Regard to God’s Hallowed Days

One of the very worst attacks on God’s Word that Paul is responsible for is his diminishing and dismissal of the weekly Sabbath as well as the Feast Sabbaths for the “Gentiles.”

God went to great lengths in the First Testament to show how important the Sabbath Day was to Him. In fact, during the creation, God who needs no rest, separated out the seventh day just for that purpose.  He blessed the day and SANCTIFIED IT according to Genesis 2:1-3: 

Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.

To add the serious nature of God’s separating out this last day of the seven day week, he fully codified its observance in the Ten Commandments and actually spoke the Words of the Ten Commandments from the Mount to the Hebrew people.  In the Commandments God identifies the day as the seventh twice while blessing and HALLOWING the day, meaning, he made the day HOLY unto Him.

Exodus 20:8-11 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

But the slimy liar Paul came along and single handedly decided that what mattered to God so much that He actually spoke it out loud from heaven to the Hebrew people gathered at the bottom of the mount was, in fact, just an afterthought now.  This excerpt from Romans drips with the pure evil of the serpent’s tongue in this regard:

One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind. He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks. For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself. For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's (Romans 14:5-8).

Notice, too, how he diminishes God’s law with regard to foods as if God never cared about what we put in our mouths, as if the Leviticus chapter about clean and unclean foods was just so much hot air.  It’s no wonder Marcion of Sinope was able to convince people in the second century that Paul preached a Jesus that could never have been the Son of the First Testament God.

Paul gets even more specific in Colossians,

Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ (Colossians 2:16-17).

While he rightly states that the feast days and Sabbaths are a type and shadow of Jesus Himself, Paul still manages to diminish and demote their importance to an aside, as if they are already done away with.

Why would Paul cause the (what should be formerly) Gentiles to ignore God’s commandments when it is written that if a stranger attaches himself to Israel, there shall be one law for both (Exodus 12:49)?  Aren’t Believers in Christ taking on the faith of Abraham? As Jesus said, “…Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad” (John 8:56), and as John the Baptist also said to the Pharisees and Saducees, “…And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham” (Matthew 3:9), are the Gentile Believers not those very stones raised up? Formerly Gentile Believers are just that, former, because now they have attached themselves to the family of God which began with Abraham.  

As Jesus said, “Who is my mother? and who are my brethren? And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren! For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother” (Matthew 12:48-50).

And so the followers of Jesus kept God’s Word.  The very women who were among Jesus’ group would not even buy spices on the Passover Sabbath or go to care for his dead body until the weekly Sabbath was over.

“And when the (Passover) sabbath (Thursday) was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices (on Friday), that they might come and anoint him. And very early in the morning the first day of the week (Sunday), they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun” (Mark 16:1-4).

“In the end of the (weekly) sabbath (Saturday), as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week (Sunday), came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre” (Matthew 28:1).

So we see that the women who followed with Jesus and the Apostles honored both the Passover Feast Day Sabbath as well as the weekly Sabbath.  Jesus clearly did not teach anything like Paul did with regard to the hallowed days of the Lord.  He did not dismiss them and honored them Himself throughout His ministry.

And the fact that Jesus did not intend to end Sabbath observance after His death, burial and resurrection is proved out by His prophecy that would fulfill during the tribulation, a time period still yet to occur though seemingly very close.  If Jesus intended to do away with Sabbath observance, why then would he comment about the Sabbath for a time frame nearly 2,000 years later?

“And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day: For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be” (Matthew 24:19-21).

As for Paul’s diminishment of the Feast Days of the Most High God, if Jesus fulfilled their observance with his death, burial and resurrection, why then does the Book of Zechariah prophecy of the observance of the Feast of Tabernacles DURING THE MILLENIEL REIGN OF CHRIST?

Zechariah 14:16-19 

And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem

shall even go up from year

to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts,

and to keep the feast of tabernacles.

And it shall be, that whoso will not come up

of all the families of the earth unto Jerusalem

to worship the King, the LORD of hosts,

even upon them shall be no rain.

And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, that have no rain;

there shall be the plague, wherewith the LORD will smite the heathen

that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.

This shall be the punishment of Egypt,

and the punishment of all nations

that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.

Once again, Jesus’ sacrifice only did away with the carnal ordinances of the law, the animal blood sacrifices, the washings, the offerings.  Also, the New Covenant did away with the need for physical buildings as temples, for our bodies have been made the Temples of God where God the Father and the Son abide by the Holy Spirit (John 14). Therefore we have been made kings and priests in these temples in order to minister to God therein.  Therefore, the works of the Levitical priesthood are also fulfilled and no longer required because there is not a physical tabernacle or temple in which we do the works of the priesthood. 

This is all that has been fulfilled in God’s law and the rest of it we are held accountable to.

There are not two laws, one for the Jew and one for the Gentile either.  Jesus told the apostles to teach go to all nations, “…Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you…” (Matthew 28:20)  The apostles were Jews and they were instructed to teach us the same thing they had been taught, the law of God with Jesus’ clarifications and amendments.  This is why the first person accounts of Matthew and John as Apostles are SO IMPORTANT.   This also means Acts 15 account that the Gentiles need only observe four things (no fornication, no eating things sacrificed to idols, no drinking/eating blood and no eating things strangled) is also WRONG and either a false representation of what happened or entirely a fiction.  It is clear that Gentile Converts are supposed to abide by the same rules as the Jews who accept Jesus.  As it states in the Book of Exodus, “One law shall be to him that is homeborn, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among you” (Exodus 12:49).

God is not a relativistic God who gives different rules for different people.  We are all under the same law and will be measured by the same measuring stick: God’s Word.

Paul’s diminishment and outright dismissal of the Commandments of God and what is important to Him shows that Paul was being led by devils.  

We are to keep and honor God’s laws, and especially to honor the weekly Sabbath as well as His feasts as found in Leviticus 23.  Jesus never did away with them, nor did He intend to do so. He honored all of the days of the Lord, including the Sabbath (though He corrected the Jews for their altering God’s intention for the Sabbath), as well as all the Feasts. Jesus Himself is our Passover Lamb, our Atonement, He is represented by the Feasts and we should gleefully honor and celebrate them.  Why is it so easy for “Christians” to honor hellish days like Christmas (Saturnalia, Sol Invicta, Winter Solstice), Easter (Ishtar “goddess” of fertility), Day of the Sun Sabbath, as well as Halloween (Samhain), but they are so repulsed by the set apart Holy Days of the Lord?  This is all due to Paul, the infiltrator who led many people into paganism and satanism through his evil teachings that we as a people are not held to the commandments of God.

But Jesus left a different legacy of observing God’s Word to the T, and His Apostle John furthered that message for us:

“And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him. He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked” (1 John 2:3-6).

So If you break the weekly Sabbath and dishonor God by not honoring His feasts, then you are not walking as Jesus walked.  You are following the teachings of Paul.  This means you are (even out of ignorance) in hatred of God because and NOT LOVING HIM because you are breaking His Word.  It also means you ARE NOT LOVING other people:

“By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous” (1 John 5:2-3).

Paul makes it seem like if you try to observe God’s laws that you are IN SIN and UNDER A CURSE. But it’s the exact opposite.  You instead walk in peace, love and joy, knowing you are living a life pleasing to God and under His High Holy Standard.

“Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God. And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight” (1 John 3:21-22).

So when it comes to the days God has blessed, sanctified and hallowed, Paul has taught you to dismiss them.  Jesus and His apostles as well as the women who followed Him DID NOT DO THIS.  Get right with God and keep His commandments, including those with regard to His Sabbath and Holy Days and you will find a newness of life in your walk you didn’t think could exist. Renounce Paul and his lying teachings and you will find your walk with Jesus becomes so much closer you won’t believe it.  

Doug & Chad Talk Paul the False Apostle

Chad joins Doug in the studio to discuss how in the two years since they last talked they both had undertaken journeys with the Lord to discover the manifold plethora of ways in which the man called Paul (who fourteen epistles are attributed to) directly contradicted or otherwise confused the Gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  Doug was thrilled to have Chad in studio for the first podcast together since 2020.  It's an amazing discussion that should encourage all viewers to think about and pursue researching this information  for themselves.  Eternal lives are at stake for WE WILL BE HELD TO THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST AND NONE OTHER.

Jezebel/Narcissist: Sleep Deprivation Tactics & Hindering Your Ministry Calling

Jezebel/Narcissists will NEVER care about you.  It’s often not even intentional but simply the result of them being demonized.

Their demons will require you to serve them in a plethora of ways, and it's possible you will do so happily for a time as Jesus has taught us that it’s better to serve than to be served. It's only over time you begin to learn not to expect reciprocity because Jezebel/Narcissist will rarely lift a finger.  And if you have a request of them, one that may not require much from them at all, that request is rarely honored.

For many victims of narcissists, the desire for respect may be in just one area: that of sleep. This one tiny request, to respect your sleep time because you desperately need it, becomes like the one law God had for Adam and Eve to keep in the garden.  Broken. The Jezebel/Narcissist will completely disrespect that one boundary of yours while still demanding EVERYTHING from you. But if you could only get some more sleep it would be so much easier to be a good servant. (This disrespect is one sign, for sure, you are serving a Narcissist/Jezebel.)

And sleep deprivation is one of the most diabolical areas for the Jezebel/Narcissist’s demons to attack.  Sleep is so important for anyone’s health and well being.  When you are working tough hours, in order for you to perform at your best, you need your sleep.  

But they (or their demons) will nibble away at your rest, cut little corners off your sleep, or see to it that you are awoken in the middle of your sleep, so that you’re never really getting proper sleep or the benefits thereof.

Demons are clever and know that the more tired they can cause you to be, the more off-kilter, the more irritable, the less focused and less productive they can make you, too.  Much worse than that, as they chip away at your sleep, the healing aspects that the proper amount of rest provides are eliminated as well.  This is especially true for people with compromised immune systems with conditions such as psoriasis, arthritis, eczema, hives, etc., who when they don’t get enough sleep have flare ups that can cover their entire bodies.  Almost any disease of the body can find some cause related to either stress, diet or lack of sleep.

Not to mention the fact that sleep is enormously important for your mental health.  As you suffer increasing amounts of sleep deprivation, your ability to deal with daily tasks and problems at hand lessens, and you can find yourself in a state of despair, depression, sadness, grief, anger, or even a desire for violence, not recognizing that all of these emotional responses are indicators that YOU NEED TO SLEEP.

The demon possessed narcissist/Jezebel in your life will not care about any of these negative outcomes for you (for themselves, yes, but not for you), even if you’ve told them in no uncertain terms that your own sleep is important.  They may act for a time like they respect this boundary when you speak up about it, but soon will conveniently “forget” to suit themselves, or more so to continue to follow the leading of their demons who are trying to destroy you by any means possible.

But God is so good and His Word says he will give us peace and sleep.  

It's interesting to know that the use of sleep deprivation by governments when trying to extract information from enemy combatants is well known.  Once the prisoner of war is brought to a state of utter fatigue getting him to comply and reveal enemy secrets becomes much easier.  Some methods for keeping the victim awake include uncomfortably cold rooms with super bright lights and loudspeakers playing loud music and sounds.  As time wears on, often the victim will weaken to this torture and do anything to get some sleep without all the cold, lights and noise.

Demons also know to use fatigue to gain our compliance and are masters of the art of warfare, especially by covert means.  By covert I mean that they can keep what they’re doing hidden by getting their victim to overlook his own need for proper sleep.  Many people ignore the importance of sleep and just try to “muscle” through the fatigue drinking loads of caffeine or energy drinks while the negative impacts slowly compile around them.  Demons might even get the victim to blame himself for being too weak in requiring “so much sleep” and that he should be able to get by on four or five hours.  But the truth is, and many studies have shown this to be true, that very few humans can function on so little sleep and most need at least seven or eight hours to be at their best and to remain healthy.  Sleep is just as important as diet when it comes to your physical and mental health and well being.  

So if Jezebel/Narcissists can bring you to that constant state of tiredness where you’re no good to anyone, especially to God, then they have succeeded.  If you’ll notice the highest numbers Jezebel/Narcissists are often assigned to people with callings on their lives.  Jezebel was a murderess of the prophets during her day, and it is that same Jezebel spirit who continues her work to this day using sleep deprivation and any other means necessary to destroy God’s current prophets.

One way Narcissist/Jezebels do this is to take advantage of your giving nature and your honoring of Jesus’ words on how it is better to give than receive and that the greatest among us will be servants to all.  They see that servant-like heart in Jesus’ followers as “chum in the water” for them to create yet another eunuch slave, who has no life of their own, and certainly have no time or energy to do ministry for God, while getting their victims to focus entirely on service to them.  Their demons must get you to usurp your love for God and focus on them as the number one idol. And, if they can bring the deception far enough, they will get you to equate service to them as service to God.

Your heart’s desire to serve the Lord or to accomplish some mission for Him will have little or no import to the Jezebel/narcissist.  Even if they say they support you with their mouths, their actions will show otherwise.  They will work against it by covert means or even directly out in the open.  Covertly by distraction, and out in the open by speaking against or showing negative body language toward you doing ministry.

Remember, they have no empathy for you, but more importantly that lack empathy for God (they actually hate Him), and they certainly do not want you involved in creating more followers for God.  They want the followers for than themselves. Jezebel/narcissists deep down, like Satan, think they're better than God.  Even when Jezebel/narcissists don’t realize how lacking in empathy they are, it simply oozes out of them. Your problems, YOUR SLEEP, the goals you have, your heart's desire for ministry are of no merit to them.  How could they be when demons rule them? If they don’t lift a finger to help you in any area of your life while on the other hand expect your undying commitment to helping them, you gotta know somethings not right.

They choose the “easier, softer” way, the way of the least amount of caloric burn, and the way of putting all the load on you and others.  Their energy is spent delegating and using people, not in working for themselves.

How can you tell when a Jezebel/narcissist is taken advantage verses when you might be avoiding serving others yourself? I find that when serving another person is right there is a freedom and joy in it.  You feel like you're helping someone else and that God approves of it. But when people start to take advantage of you, you start to feel in your spirit that something isn’t right and you begin to resent being a continual help to this individual.  

Where the devil tricks and traps us as as Christians is that when this “righteous” reaction of resentment arises, that something inside is telling you you're being used, instead of seeing it as a sign you should stop serving the Jezebel/Narcissist, you instead blame and correct yourself for being resentful, thinking that you must be wrong to have that resentment so instead you resolve to be more giving.  

Satan and his demons are counting on you to do this to keep you in their trap.  They want you to suppress these normal, seemingly negative, reactions so that you will remain the slave of the narcissist.  (Note to housewives who think their husbands are narcs because they go to work all day and expect you to do something at home such as dishes, laundry and cooking meals: this narrative does not apply to you.  Your relationship is reciprocal.  You both are working to help the family).  But Jezebel/narcissists want you to think that you are doing the Lord's work when you’re serving them and expect you to always “fall on your sword,” to “take one for the team,” to sacrifice yourself to their purposes while they barely lift a finger. And if they’re really clever, they can convince you that serving them is service to God. (Entire religions like Catholicism are based on this very premise.) And, if the Jezebel/narcissist can trick you so that they can keep you from your calling, like a trapped Cinderella serving the devil himself, all the better.

This goes for corporate jobs, too, which require your entire life and leave you very little time or freedom for anything else.  You are a slave to them and ultimately a servant to the money they provide.  You have chosen serving mammon over God, when you can only choose one.  You cannot serve God AND mammon.

Meanwhile, those trapped serving Jezebel/Narcissist have been effectively removed from God’s battlefield. Jesus knew this when He said some, what for many appear to be, harsh words.  Look what He had to say about ministry verses family obligations:

Ministering the gospel is a serious mission, especially in these last days.  Jezebel/narcissist family members and spouses who stand in the way of that mission are being used of the devil himself to prevent the last day harvest.  Whether or not they know what they’re doing is beside the point.  Their demons within often compel them to do sabotaging actions with results that speak for themselves.

A Jezebel/narcissist is the epitome of the dead father Jesus spoke of in this scripture, and as Jesus also said of the pharisees, they be blind leaders of the blind, and if the blind lead the blind they shall both fall into a ditch.  If a minister is trapped into a state of constant service to a "dead," "blind," Jezebel/narcissist and those demons have the minister tied up in everything except ministry, and on top of that is working a campaign that so wears out and fatigue the minister that he becomes useless, then the battle is won.  The minister becomes just like the soldier who has been taken off the field by the enemy and is being tortured in that same cold, bright and loud room every day by the Jezebel/Narcissist who has him bound.  Not only is he being tortured with sleep deprivation, but with a panoply of methods (such as gaslighting, crazy making, false accusation, deception, etc.). And as Samson was bound to the wheat grinding wheel and forced to push it by the Philistines who captured him, the Jezebel/narcissist ends up causing the victim to push that same metaphorical wheel in the never ending circle like a hamster in a cage.  As Samson pushed that wheel round and round, he was useless to God or man, but only served the enemy Philistines’ bellies. 

And again, that’s the ultimate goal of narcissist/jezebel, to have servants who treat her as a queen (or him as as a king), who cause their victims to live in constant service to themselves, with no reciprocity. If you have a ministry calling and feel you could be in a situation like this, I highly encourage you to go into prayer (and even fasting if necessary) to figure out what you should do.  I'm not telling anyone to make any knee-jerk reactions, but I am saying to go into prayer and find the peace that God will give you about what He wants you to do.  For many of you, this issue needs to be resolved in your life so you may serve God the way He intends, and honestly, the way you've always wanted to yourself.  That Jezebel/narcissist who has stood in the way and still won't repent, is being judged right now according to Revelation 2:20.  And this last days harvest is coming and the fields are ready to be reaped, but the laborers are few.  Pray this through.  Now may be the time to get free.

On another note, one pet peeve of mine is when actual Jezebel/narcissists use my materials to flip the script with their victims.  What I mean is, they make themselves the victim when they read something like this, acting like they are the ones being forced into sleep deprivation and distraction.  For example, a stay at home mom with a working husband might complain about doing what is actually her fair share at home, that it makes her tired and she needs more rest when in fact she isn't doing squat. 

I know of several perfect examples of this, of men who worked hard so their wives could stay home with the kids.  A couple of guys I know would come home to sinks full of dirty dishes, hampers full of dirty laundry and a gaggle of unfed kids who they would have to make dinner for.  Exhausted from work, they would be hard at work at home, too, for another four or five hours.  This was yet another way for the Jezebel/narcissist to wear these dads out and bring them to fatigue.  And this is the true essence of Jezebel: she will not hold up her end of the bargain and will actually go into a huff if you call her on it.  A spoiled prima donna of the highest order, she can stand no correction and will refuse to allow it because she is the queen and you are the peasant slave. How dare you even say something!

“Get to work!” she proclaims.  “Are you tired?” she scoffs, “Cry me a river.”

But if you're in a reciprocating relationship where you both are pulling the load, be happy and blessed to be so and try to recognize and thank one another for what you do for each other.

A final passing shot is that Jezebel/narcissists can often be generous with money if they have it.  They will try to pay off the victim with cash if they think they might lose him/her as a beast of burden.  This, in reality, costs them very little since they have the money in abundance.  They still will not do their part in any other way, though, and the victim will still be pulling the loaded proverbial cart while the Jezebel/narcissist rides on top. In this case, if the victim is not trusting God for provision and doesn't take the Holy Spirit's leadership to move on, the minister may stay trapped just in service to that money.  And this is wrong, too.  We must remember that God is our Provider when He is giving us deliverance from the demonic realm and that no deals with the devil need be made to ensure God's provision will come.

That’s all for today.  Thanks for checking in.
