Greetings Brethren,

I TIMOTHY 1:8
But we know that the law [is] good, if a man use it lawfully

This is part two of a three part series dealing with a quote out of the "Church Age Book" written by Lee Vayle.

In the following quote there is Two Statements, which I believe, are incorrect. Both are major doctrines of the Bible.

104-1 EPHESIAN.CHURCH.AGE - CHURCH.AGE.BOOK CPT.3
Now I know in answering one question another one is apt to come up, and people ask me, "If Eve fell that way, what did Adam do, for God lays the blame on Adam?" That is simple. The Word of God is forever settled in heaven. Before one speck of stardust was made, that Word (God's law) was there EXACTLY AS IT IS WRITTEN IN OUR BIBLE. Now the Word teaches us that if a woman leaves her husband and goes with another man she is an adultress and is no longer married and the husband is not to take her back. That Word was true in Eden as it was true when Moses wrote it in the law. The Word can't change. Adam took her back. He knew exactly what he was doing, but he did it any way. She was a part of him, and he was willing to take her responsibility upon himself. He would not let her go. So Eve conceived by him. He knew she would. He knew exactly what would happen to the human race, and he sold the human race into sin that he might have Eve, for he loved her.

1. The Mosaic Law. "[Before one speck of stardust was made, that Word (God's law) was there EXACTLY AS IT IS WRITTEN IN OUR BIBLE." "That Word was true in Eden as it was true when Moses wrote it in the law.]"
2. Marriage and Divorce. [ Now the Word teaches us that if a woman leaves her husband and goes with another man she is an adultress and is no longer married and the husband is not to take her back. ]
========================

In this letter I am going to teach on the subject of the "Mosaic Law" pertaining to the subject matter which is spoken of in this quote out of the CHB.

What I don't agree with, and therefore believe is not Scriptural, is that the Mosaic Law (also referred to above as God's law) was in effect (or being enforced) back in Eden.

What we see being taught here in the CHB is that the Laws which came by Moses and which was Written in a Book by Moses was in effect back in the Garden of Eden. And because of this, Adam's Transgression (Sin) was the breaking of one of these Mosaic Laws.

Let me make this clear. What is being stated here in the CHB is that Adams Transgression, his Sin, The Sin, that caused the whole human race to fall to sin and death, was a Law which is Written in the Book of the Law, which came by Moses.

It is being taught that even though Moses had not as yet even been born, that the Law which he brought forth hundreds of years after the fall of man in the Garden of Eden, nevertheless was to somehow be obeyed and followed in the Garden of Eden. Adam of course knew nothing of the Laws contained in the Mosaic Law.

The specific Law that Adam is said to have broke in the Mosaic Law, as stated above in the CHB (pertaining to Marriage and Divorce), I also believe is not even a Law in the Mosaic Law, nor is it taught anywhere in the Bible. But I will deal with this subject in my next message.

In this message we are dealing with the subject matter of the Mosaic Law and specifically that question as to when, in time, it was Ratified (formally approved and invested with legal authority) and therefore being enforced by God. This would tell us at what time in history humans was to follow and obey that which is written therein.
========================

Let us now look in Scripture to see what the Mosaic Law is; when it came about, how it came about, and what it consists of.

The beginning, and therefore the date, that the Law 'started' going forth by Moses were when the people came to mount Sinai.

EXODUS 19:1-6
1 ¶ In the third month, when the children of Israel were gone forth out of the land of Egypt, the same day came they [into] the wilderness of Sinai. v2 For they were departed from Rephidim, and were come [to] the desert of Sinai, and had pitched in the wilderness; and there Israel camped before the mount. v3 And Moses went up unto God, and the LORD called unto him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel; v4 Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and [how] I bare you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto myself. v5 Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth [is] mine: v6 And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These [are] the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel.

EXODUS 19:16,17
And it came to pass on the third day in the morning, that there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice of the trumpet exceeding loud; so that all the people that [was] in the camp trembled. v17 And Moses brought forth the people out of the camp to meet with God; and they stood at the nether part of the mount.

In Exodus chapters 20-23 are Written the Commandments and Judgements that Moses brought forth and told the people. This is 'before' he received the 'Ten Commandments' Written on Two Tables of Stone by God.

EXODUS 24:3
And Moses came and told the people all the words of the LORD, and all the judgments: and all the people answered with one voice, and said, All the words which the LORD hath said will we do.

Moses wrote all those Words of the Law in a Book called the 'BOOK OF THE COVENANT' and read them to the people. The people agreed to obey that which was Written. Moses then took BLOOD and sprinkled it on the people, and said, Behold the 'BLOOD OF THE COVENANT', which the Lord hath made with you concerning all these words. [Exodus 24: 4-8]

That Covenant (Testament) which was written in the Book of the Law, the Mosaic Law, was now Ratified. It was Inaugurated and put in Force, by the BLOOD. It was at this Time in History, that the Mosaic Law began and therefore was to be obeyed by humans. Now there could be a "Transgression of the Law".

HEBREWS 9:16-20
v16 For where a testament [is], there must also of necessity be the death of the testator.
v17 For a testament [is] of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth. v18 Whereupon neither the first [testament] was dedicated without blood. v19 For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book, and all the people, v20 Saying, This [is] the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you.

After the Covenant was Inaugurated Moses then went into the mountain again, this time for 40 days and 40 nights and this was the 'first time' when God gave him the Tables of Stone with the Ten Commandments Written on them (the ones he broke). At this time he also received the Revelation pertaining to the Tabernacle, Priesthood, and the Sacrifices which where to be setup and instituted. [Exodus 24:9-18; 25:-31:]

Written in the books of Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy you will find more Commandments, Judgements, and Ordinances which were also Written in the Book of the Law, know also as the Book of the Covenant, which is the Mosaic Law or the Law of Moses.

When Moses was 120 years old and getting ready to leave the scene, he finished writing this Book of the Law and had it placed "in the side" (not inside) of the Ark of the Covenant. Only the Two Tables of Stone (also called the Testimony and the Tables of the Covenant) which had the Ten Commandments Written on them (the second set written at the time of the second 40 days and 40 nights that Moses was in the mount) by the Hand of God where placed "inside" the Ark of the Covenant. [Deuteronomy 31:9-13, 24-26; Exodus 34:1,27,28; 25:16; Hebrews 9:4]
========================

Here is that statement out of the CHB again which states Adam's Transgression:

[ The Word of God is forever settled in heaven. Before one speck of stardust was made, that Word (God's law) was there EXACTLY AS IT IS WRITTEN IN OUR BIBLE. Now the Word teaches us that if a woman leaves her husband and goes with another man she is an adultress and is no longer married and the husband is not to take her back. That Word was true in Eden as it was true when Moses wrote it in the law. The Word can't change. Adam took her back. He knew exactly what he was doing, but he did it any way. ]

"For those who may not understand, what is being spoken of here in this quote, that adultery, is the Doctrine of the Serpent Seed. I will not go into this doctrine now, but in a word what happened is that Eve was beguiled (deceived) because of innocence, into committing fornication with the Serpent (a beast, for he was not a snake (reptile) at this time, who was the minister of Satan, also know by science as the "missing link") and she therefore brought forth Cain, the Serpents Seed (his child), not Satan's child (spiritually he was, but not physically). The Bible says that Cain was of the wicked one, and Adam was not wicked. Then she told Adam what she had done and he lay with her and she also brought forth Abel, the son of Adam. Now they knew that they were Naked (sexual). She had twins, Cain and Abel, from two different Seeds. This is the Original Sin, not the eating of an apple, or natural fruit from a tree. " [genesis 3:1-7,14,15; proverbs 30: 20; 1john 3:12; matthew 13:36-39; john 8:39-47; 2 corinthians 11:2,3]

Now let us look to the Scriptures to see if this statement is true or not.

ROMANS 4:15
Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, [there is] no transgression.

If there is not a Law that tells you (for you must know about it) that you cannot do something, how could you ever transgress (sin) against that Law?

ROMANS 5:12-14
v12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: v13 (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law. v14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come.

For 'until' (beginning in Eden) the Law (Mosaic Law) sin was in the world. Another words, people were doing things that where not right in the Sight of God. But the people where not held accountable for those deeds of unrighteousness (sin) that they where doing. They therefore where not sinning, for there was no Mosaic Laws that said that they was sinning. And if there is no law that says you are sinning, then there cannot be any type of Judgment even though it is wrong and sin in the Sight of God.

Nevertheless Death, the penalty of Sin (remember there was no Mosaic Laws which could be Transgressed and therefore bring Judgement and Death) reigned from Adam to Moses. Everyone died and even those who did not sin after the Similitude (likeness) of Adam's Transgression (his sin). This is saying that there was some that did not sin, the same Type of Sin, which Adam sinned and yet they died anyway. For this was The Sin that brought forth Death to all mankind!

What was that Law (which was not the Mosaic Law, nor a law contained therein) which was given to Adam, by God, that would even make it possible for him to Transgress? What was that Law and the Transgression thereof that caused the fall of the whole human race? What was that ORIGINAL SIN?

Here it is! This is Thus Saith the Lord, the Word!

GENESIS 2:16,17
v16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: v17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

Amen

May the Power of Revelation be yours,

Re 1:5 Jesus Christ, who is the Faithful Witness, and the First Begotten Of The Dead, and the Prince Of The kings Of The Earth. Unto Him that Loved us, and Washed us from our Sins In HIS OWN BLOOD, Php 2:9-11 God also hath Highly Exalted Him, and Given Him A Name which is Above Every Name: That at the Name OF Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that Every Tongue Should Confess that Jesus Christ IS Lord, to The Glory Of God The Father. Ac 4:11,12 This is the STONE which was set at nought of You Builders, which is become the HEAD OF THE CORNER. Neither is there Salvation in any other: for there is None Other Name under heaven Given Among Men, whereby WE MUST BE SAVED.
