Our submission should first be to God and His commandments as Yeshua (Jesus) stated. If you know the story about the three Hebrew boys, you will know that they refused to bow to the commandment of a man under the threat of death (Nebuchadnezzar made the demand to bow).

Yeshua (God) commands us to keep the commandments of the Torah. It is written.
(John 14:15 [KJV])
If ye love me, keep my commandments (Torah).

How do we know Yeshua meant the commandments of the Torah? He (Yeshua) was quoting from the following verse found in the Torah. In fact, Yeshua usually quoted from the Torah. He (Yeshua) is the Word of God and He quoted extensively from the Word of God (the law or the prophets.. He would at times say, “It is written”, “it was said of them of old”, “Ye have heard” etc.)

HERE IT IS IN THE TORAH

(Deut 5:10 [KJV])
And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me and keep my commandments (Torah).

Here is additional proof found in Revelation that believers/saints are people that keep the commandments of God. It s written.
(Rev 14:12 [KJV])
Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God (Torah), and the faith (love/belief) of Jesus.

Now if you say you love Yeshua (Jesus) but yet you do not keep the commandments of God (as He instructed), what happens to you?

If you do not keep the commandments of God you work iniquity. If you work iniquity you will be told to depart from God and His Kingdom. You will be rejected and cast into everlasting fire.

Iniquity is the “willing” transgression of God’s law (found in the Torah). The many (the word in the Greek for “many” can also be translated “majority”) that say Lord Lord will be told to depart by Yeshua. In fact, He says He NEVER knew them. Let this not be found of you; DO NOT BE PART OF THE MANY (MAJORITY). It is written.
(Matt 7:23 [KJV])
And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work INIQUITY.

Let us take a test to see if you bow to God and His commandments in submission OR if you bow to someone else (the false gods and seducing spirits of this world). This test is not meant to offend anyone; consider it to be a mirror that you can use to reflect on your standing with the word of God.

Be blessed as you take the test.

(Matt 5:19 [KJV])
Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments (Torah), 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.

God Says..

Not to keep heathen days (example given relates to what we now call Christmas).
(Jer 10:2-4 [KJV])
Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them. 3 For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe. 4 They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.

Do you observe/celebrate heathen days such as Christmas, Easter and Lent?

God Says..

God commands His people to rest on the 7th day (Saturday).
(Exod 20:8-10 [KJV])
Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: 10 But the seventh day (Saturday) 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:

Do you obey the commandment of God to rest on the seventh day (Saturday)?

Yes / No

If your answer is yes you rest on the Sabbath day, you have bowed to God and not man. 

———–  —

TTGM’S COMMENTS ON THE LAW THAT REJECTED THE SABBATH DAY.

Man’s way that many follow; here is the first law of man that is against resting on the seventh day.

Constantine created the earliest Sunday law known to history in AD 321. It says this:

“On the venerable Day of the sun let the magistrates and people residing in cities rest, and let all workshops be closed. In the country, however, persons engaged in agriculture may freely and lawfully continue their pursuits: because it often happens that another Day is not so suitable for grain sowing or for vine planting: lest by neglecting the proper moment for such operations the bounty of heaven should be lost.”

4.

God Says..

As believers in Christ, we are commanded NOT to speak in tongues if there is no interpreter present (in public). We are also commanded not to have more than three people speaking at a time.
(1Cor 14:27-28 [KJV])
If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and that by course; and let one interpret. 28 But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God.

Yes / No

If your answer is no you do not speak in tongues when there is no interpreter then you have bowed to God and not man.

5.

God Says..

God (by Paul) commands that Bishops and Deacons to be the husband of one wife.
(1Tim 3:2 [KJV])
A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behavior, given to hospitality, apt to teach;

(1Tim 3:12 [KJV])
Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well.

Does your organization only appoint bishops and deacons that are married?  

Yes / No

If your answer is yes your organization only appoints men that have a wife then they have bowed to God and not man.

—-^

6.

God Says..

God’s precept for marriage is when a man takes/goes in unto (sex) a woman she becomes his wife. It is written.
(Gen 2:24 [KJV])
Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.

(Gen 24:67 [KJV]) – No priest, pastor or state is involved
And Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah’s tent, and took Rebekah, and she became his wife; and he loved her: and Isaac was comforted after his mother’s death.

Do you or your organization recognize the commitment (covenant) between two people and their subsequent joining (becoming one flesh – sex) as marriage?  

Yes / No

If your answer is yes your organization recognizes that two people that are joined in a one-flesh committed union are married then they have bowed to God and not man.

———–  —

FOR A GREATER UNDERSTANDING ON WHAT MARRIAGE IS:

Watch and read what scripture teaches about marriage

7.

God Says..

God’s precept for marriage to a second wife is that He (God) regulates how the women should be treated. The second wife must be treated equally (or it could be the third, fourth etc).
(Exod 21:10 [KJV])
If he take him another wife; her food, her raiment, and her duty of marriage, shall he not diminish.

A man of God, Abraham takes a second wife.
(Gen 16:3 [KJV])
And Sarai Abram’s wife (1st wife) took Hagar her maid the Egyptian, after Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave her to her husband Abram to be his wife (2nd wife).

Do you or your organization recognize a married man that takes another woman, has a second wife?  

Yes / No

If your answer is yes your organization recognizes that a married man has two wives if he goes into the second woman, then they have bowed to God and not man.

8.

God Says..

God commands His people not to divorce or put away their wives/husbands.
(1Cor 7:10-11 [KJV])
And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband: 11 But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.

Do you or your organization instruct married people not to divorce? 

Yes / No

If your answer is yes your organization instructs married people not to divorce, then they have bowed to God and not man.

9.

God Says..

God’s says we should not eat swine (pork), it is unclean flesh.
(Lev 11:7-8 [KJV])
And the swine (pork), though he divide the hoof, and be clovenfooted, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you. 8 Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase shall ye not touch; they are unclean to you.

Do you refuse to eat pork/swine and other unclean flesh mentioned in the Torah?

Yes / No

If your answer is yes you refuse to eat unclean flesh, then you have bowed to God and not man.

———–  — 

TTGM’S SHORT COMMENT ON THE EATING OF UNCLEAN FLESH:

Nowhere in the scripture is pork (or other animals/fish mentioned) called food (meat). It is only referred to as unclean flesh. 

Here Peter is confronted with a vision and told to eat what he sees (unclean flesh). Read his answer.
(Acts 10:14 [KJV])
But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have NEVER eaten any thing that is common or unclean.

 ———–  —  —-  ————-

ARE YOU PART OF THE MANY?

TTGM can go on and on as to what Christianity does today that is not in keeping with the Commandments of God. This is why the “many” will be told to depart from Him. Why? They work iniquity by not keeping His commandments.

Again, you are commanded by Yeshua to do and teach the commandments. TTGM hopes you take this information to heart and start to study, understand, and apply the commandments to your life. If you are not clear on any of the commandments and need clarification just contact us. All in Love.

In closing, TTGM will give some verses followed by questions to help you THINK.
(Luke 21:8 [KJV])
And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them.

Question:

Have you been deceived?

———–  — 

(Matt 15:9 [KJV])
But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

Question:

If your worship to God is in vain if you submit to the doctrines of men, why is this so?

———–  — 

(1John 3:4 [KJV])
Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.

Question:

If sin is the transgression of God’s law (commandments) why is it the church does not run away from sin but rather continues to build on the doctrines of men that are not in keeping with the law of God?

TTGM’S Answer: Maybe it is the deception. Maybe it feels good not to keep God’s Law (the carnal self rules). Read Here

In conclusion, we leave you with this to ponder on.
