That's right, folks!! Even though Christ did away with the curse of the Law, we are still supposed to keep it. And don't forget to send in your "Atonement Offering!!" From Paula White Ministries.
Hat Tip: A Little Leaven)
So, if we send in an "Atonement Offering" to appease the wrath of God (because Christ's blood just wasn't enough), we get even more crap from this heretic. Basically, what she's saying is, "Honor the Day of Atonement by sending me money!!"
Now, if you've read this blog, you know how often I rail against the so-called "prosperity" preachers. Most of them claim that what Christ did on the Cross--taking our sins upon His shoulders, and BY THIS ACT taking upon Himself the wrath of God for our sins--wasn't enough. He had to go into Hell, and suffer torture from demons for three days. And--according to Kenneth Copeland--Jesus had to be "born again".
Well, along comes Paula White. She and her husband Randy have (unsuccessfully) attempted to expand THEIR kingdom here on earth at the cost of (a) their marriage, and (b) bringing shame to the name of Christ. Well, she has done gone and ripped the Gospels out of her Bible, and spit in the face of Christ. Now, she says we need to go back to keeping the law of Moses. And by doing so, she has officially moved from the ranks of merely being a "heretic", to being a full-blown blasphemer.
Hey, hey Paula! I got an idea for ya. I'm sealing my Bible in an envelope, putting it in the mailbox, and sending it to you. Because appreantly, you don't have one. Or maybe you do, and you just haven't ever bothered to read it. Because if you did--well, not only would you find that as a woman, you are not allowed to be a pastor at your church (see here and here)--but you would also find the Bible says--
She has indeed trampled the Son underfoot, and counted His Cross as what, something He felt like doing because He didn't have anything better to do? Christ came to do away with the Law. His Cross IS our atonement where He made propitiation for our sins, reconciled us to God, took our sins upon Himself, and imputed His righteousness to our account. Paula White, by trying to weasel some "Atonement Offering" out of her deceived followers, is the true "God-robber", and blasphemer.
As Christians, we are called to follow the New Covenant of Christ -- but as Christ himself honored the laws and covenants of his forefathers, as modern-day children of God we should also remember and honor God’s biblically established laws, covenants, and decrees. [Even though it tells us in James 1:10--"...whoever will keep the whole law, and stumble in one part, he is guilty of all."--Ed.][...]
As Christians, we are encouraged to observe the Day of Atonement also in remembrance of Christ [I guess this is found in the book of......--Ed.] – our own High Priest, who became the ultimate “sin offering” for us – guaranteeing our eternal “atonement” and salvation. Observance of the Day of Atonement might include prayer and fasting, sacrificial offerings, and studying God’s Word.

Because if you did--well, not only would you find that as a woman, you are not allowed to be a pastor at your church (see here and here)--but you would also find the Bible says--
- Colossians 1:19-20--For it pleased the Father that in Him all the fullness should dwell, and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross.
- Galatians 3:3, 10-13--Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Spirit, are you now being made perfect by the flesh?...For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse; for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who does not continue in all things which are written in the book of the law, to do them.” But that no one is justified by the law in the sight of God is evident, for “the just shall live by faith.” Yet the law is not of faith, but “the man who does them shall live by them.” Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”)
- Hebrews 9--Then indeed, even the first covenant had ordinances of divine service and the earthly sanctuary...Now when these things had been thus prepared, the priests always went into the first part of the tabernacle, performing the services. But into the second part the high priest went alone once a year, not without blood, which he offered for himself and for the people’s sins committed in ignorance...It was symbolic for the present time in which both gifts and sacrifices are offered which cannot make him who performed the service perfect in regard to the conscience...But Christ came as High Priest of the good things to come, with the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands, that is, not of this creation. Not with the blood of goats and calves, but with His own blood He entered the Most Holy Place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption. For if the blood of bulls and goats and the ashes of a heifer, sprinkling the unclean, sanctifies for the purifying of the flesh, how much more shall the blood of Christ...cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? And for this reason He is the Mediator of the new covenant, by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, that those who are called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance...
Anyone who has rejected Moses’ law dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. Of how much worse punishment, do you suppose, will he be thought worthy who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, counted the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified a common thing, and insulted the Spirit of grace?
