Law or Grace—What Are You Under? (Part Two)

Understanding the Prophecy

In Part Two, Tom moves beyond foundational concepts and tackles the deeper conflict: how Paul’s writings are often misunderstood to suggest the law has been abolished. By carefully examining context—especially passages like Colossians 2 and Acts 15—this teaching shows that Paul is not opposing God’s law, but correcting a false method of salvation based on works. Grace forgives sin, but it never removes the standard that defines it.

Prophetic Insights

This teaching exposes a major deception shaping modern Christianity: the misuse of Paul’s writings to overturn the clear words of Yeshua and the prophets. Tom shows that this confusion is not new—it began in the early church and continues today. In the end times, this issue becomes central, as the conflict between God’s law and man-made traditions defines the difference between the two kingdoms.

The final conflict is not just about belief—but about allegiance: whether we follow the commandments of God or the traditions of men. Understanding Paul correctly is essential to recognizing the true remnant described in Revelation.
