VOICES
In certain foreign countries hearing voices from above is not uncommon, especially in countries that worship idols. I know, because I used to live in such a country. Most of the time such voices came from Satan. How can we know if the voice we heard came from Satan or not to deceive us? It’s not easy. So, we have to closely examine the individual who heard the voice. No other way, closely examine and study the individual who heard the voice and what his beliefs are. Number one we know that Satan is inconsistent. Satan likes to lie. So, look for inconsistencies in this person’s statements and beliefs. Number two we also know that Satan hates the Law. Satan hates the Ten Commandments. Any attempt to change the Law does not come from above.
When we hear an individual, preacher, priest, anyone who does not believe, observe, or question any part of the Ten Commandments, or try to change them in any manner, I seriously doubt if the voice or vision that the individual heard or saw comes from Jesus’ Father. Why? Because Jesus’ Father is the Author of the Ten Commandments. No one, none of Adam and Eve’s descendants who ignored the will of Jesus’ Father will be admitted to heaven. None, zero. There is no place in heaven for disobedient people, none, zero. There was no place in the Garden of Eden for Adam and Eve whom God had created who had disobeyed Him.
Jesus said, "Not everyone who says to Me, `Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.” Matthew 7:21.
Do we know what the will of Jesus’ Father is? The will of Jesus’ Father is NOT our will. It is not the will of Paul either! It is the will of Jesus’ Father. And the will of Jesus’ Father is that we obey Him with no reservation. He wants total obedience from us. Nothing less than total obedience. He saved none, not even Adam and Eve whom He had created with His hands.
Let’s begin by examining Paul’s writing. “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; [it is] the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.” Ephesians 2:8-9. Paul says that we are saved by grace though faith, and not by following the law or work. Those of us who have followed the story of Adam and Eve know that they were evicted from their home, received no grace from God because they were disobedient to the law. Grace is only available to those who deserve grace, and no one else. Let’s read what else Paul wrote, "knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but by faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law; for by the works of the law no flesh shall be justified.” Galatians 2:16.
Paul does not believe in all of the Ten Commandments that Jesus’ Father gave to us. He probably believes in one or two the most. Readers, I believe that Paul is utterly confused. I have never seen anyone so confused as Paul, aka Saul. And I believe the voice from above confused him when he was on the road to Damascus. Where from above Paul heard that voice coming from, I won’t tell. You figure it out yourself.
Jesus’ Father gave us the Ten Commandments for us to OBSERVE. How on earth can we observe all of the Ten Commandments by FAITH? My conclusion is that Paul hates the Ten Commandments.
And he teaches all the Christians to hate His Commandments too. Can Paul repent? No, he’s already dead.

Paul is a mean apostle. How can I observe the Sabbath by faith in Jesus Christ? How can we honor our parents by faith in Jesus Christ? Who is that voice that spoke to Paul on his way to Damascus?
