1. Salvation

• Yahushua:
  “But the one who endures to the end will be saved.” (Matt. 24:13)
  “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Master, Master,’ will enter into the reign of the heavens, but the one who does the will of My Father in heaven.” (Matt. 7:21)

• Paul:
  “If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” (Rom. 10:9)
  “By grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works.” (Eph. 2:8–9)

• Common Excuse:
  “Paul isn’t contradicting Jesus — he’s just saying works don’t save us. All we need is faith. Endurance is just another way of saying faith.”

• Witnesses Against Paul:

  • James: “Faith without works is dead… a person is justified by works and not by faith alone.” (James 2:17, 24)

• John: “By this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments. Whoever says ‘I know Him’ but does not keep His commandments is a liar.” (1 John 2:3–4)

• Revelation: “Here is the endurance of the set-apart ones: those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Yahushua.” (Rev. 14:12)

• Hebrews: “For we have come to share in Messiah, if indeed we hold our original confidence firm to the end.” (Heb. 3:14)

• Proverbs: “Commit your works to יהוה, And your plans shall be established.”(Prov.16:3)

• Why It Matters:
  Yahushua’s teaching is consistent and confirmed by the other apostles: salvation requires endurance, obedience, and faithfulness to the end—this is the fruit of true apostleship and discipleship. . Paul’s reduction to confession and belief apart from works guts Yahushua’s call of active participation in relationship—creating a false gospel of cheap grace.

2. Law / Torah

• Yahushua:
  “Do not think that I came to destroy the Torah or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to complete. For truly, I say to you, until the heaven and the earth pass away, one jot or one tittle shall by no means pass from the Torah until all be done.” (Matt. 5:17–18)

• Paul:
  “You are not under law but under grace.” (Rom. 6:14)
  “But now we are released from the law, having died to that which held us captive, so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit and not in the old way of the written code.” (Rom. 7:6)

• Common Excuse:
  “Paul only meant the ceremonial law — sacrifices, circumcision, food laws. He didn’t mean the whole Torah. Grace covers us, don’t get legalistic.”

• Witnesses Against Paul:

• James: “Faith without works is dead… was not Abraham justified by works when he offered up Isaac his son on the altar?” (James 2:21)

• John: “This is love, that we walk according to His commandments.” (2 John 1:6)

• Revelation: “Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life.”(Rev. 22:14)

• Hebrews: “I will put my laws into their minds, and write them on their hearts.” (Heb. 8:10)

• Why It Matters:
  Yahushua and every true witness uphold Torah. Paul’s loophole guts Yahushua’s words and replaces obedience with vague “faith.” This is the very lawlessness Yahushua warned against in Matt. 7:23.

3. Faith & Works

• Yahushua:
  “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Master, Master,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of My Father.” (Matt. 7:21)
  “Why do you call Me ‘Master, Master,’ and not do what I tell you?” (Luke 6:46)

• Paul:
  “For by grace you have been saved through faith. This is not your own doing… not a result of works.” (Eph. 2:8–9)
  “To the one who does not work but believes… his faith is counted as righteousness.” (Rom. 4:5)

• Common Excuse:
  “Paul wasn’t against works — he just meant you can’t earn salvation. Works come later, but they don’t matter for being saved.”

• Witnesses Against Paul:

• James: “You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone.” (James 2:24)

• John: “By this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments. Whoever says ‘I know Him’ and does not keep His commandments is a liar.” (1 John 2:3–4)

• Revelation: “I know your works: you are neither cold nor hot… because you are lukewarm I will spit you out.” (Rev. 3:15–16)

• Why It Matters:
  Yahushua demanded obedience and action as proof of faith. Paul divorces faith from works, creating a “believe only” gospel that Yahushua never taught.

4. Judgment: Fire or Escape?

• Yahushua:
  “First collect the weeds and bind them in bundles to be burned, then gather the wheat into my barn.” (Matt. 13:30)
  “As it was in the days of Noah, so will it be when the Son of Man is revealed… the flood came and destroyed them all.” (Luke 17:26–27, 30)

• Paul:
  “We who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air.” (1 Thess. 4:17)

• Common Excuse:
  “That’s the rapture — our blessed hope! We won’t face tribulation, Jesus will take us away.”

• Witnesses Against Paul:

• Revelation: “Here is the endurance of the saints, those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Yahushua.” (Rev. 14:12)

• Peter: “The day of the Lord will come like a thief… the heavens will pass away with a roar, and the elements will melt with fervent heat.” (2 Pet. 3:10)

• Hebrews: “It is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment.” (Heb. 9:27)

• Why It Matters:
  Yahushua’s plain teaching: the wicked are taken first, the righteous endure. Paul reverses the order, inventing a secret escape. This lie has numbed the church into expecting removal instead of endurance.
