Roman Catholic heresy 1486AD1. Roman Catholic
corruption of the dark ages led to the battle
for religious freedom in Europe .2. The
protestant reformation demanded the release of
the Bible which the Roman Catholic had held in
captivity for over 1000 years .3. During this
Protestant uprising in 1486ad - Roman church
moved the four books of Matthew. Mark, Luke and
John from the Old to New Testament in an effort
to mislead the Protestant sects.4. WHAT
HAPPENED? MILLIONS MISLED IN BIBLE STUDY! 5.
Religious Chaos ensued!!! Continues today!!!

Protestant Reformation
Many have never understood that the four Old
Testament books of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John
-- before the cross (MMLJ/BC) -- not the book of
Malachi, describe the "end" of the Old Testament
Mosaical "age. Millions have never learned that
only Acts, chapter 2, marks the "beginning" of
the New Testament "age" and revelation of new
covenant "doctrine." As a result of this
doctrinal "error" in dividing between the books
of the Old and New Testaments, millions have
misinterpreted and misunderstood Christ's
teaching of the OldTestament law of Moses in
MMLJ/BC as new covenant teaching.

  Melanchthon
•  
• Written on behalf of the Protestant territories
  of Northern Germany for presentation to emperor
  Charles V at the Diet of Augsburg. Melanchthon's
  twenty one original articles were composed as a
  response to John Eck's attack on the Protestants
  as guilty of being ancient heresies. Thus the
  articles attempt to show that the Protestant
  faith is in line with the ancient Church. Many,
  but not all, of the articles were acceptable to
  Rome. In 1540 Melancthon revised the confession
  to be acceptable to Calvin. The Lutherans
  rejected this revision and Melancthon himself.
  Melancthon's followers would then join the
  reformed camp.

  beliefs and practices. They seek to base doctrine
  and practice on the Bible alone. They teach that
  they are the church written in scripture. They
  teach that any individual, from the time that the
  church began to now, can become part of that
  church by hearing the truth, believing the truth,
  repenting from your ways to God's ways,
  confessing that Jesus in the Bible is Christ, and
  being baptized to be added to the NT church.

The RESTORATION Movement
Historically, Churches of Christ in the United
States have roots in the American Restoration
Movement, and were recognized as a distinct
religious group by the U.S. Religious Census of
1906. Prior to that all congregations associated
with the Restoration Movement had been reported
together by the Census Bureau. The Restoration
Movement began on the American frontier during
the Second Great Awakening of the early 19th
century under the leadership of Thomas and Alexand
er Campbell, Walter Scott, and Barton W. Stone.
Those leaders had declared their independence
from their Presbyterian roots, seeking a fresh
start to restore the New Testament church, and
abandoning creeds. They did not see themselves as
establishing a new church. Rather, the movement
sought the restoration of the church and "the
unification of all Christians in a single body
patterned after the church of the New
Testament."2

Letters From Bible Manuscript Authorities

• Letters From Biblical Manuscript Authorities
• The following quotations from recognized biblical
  manuscript authorities on the "text" and "canon(
  books of the Bible) show clearly that the New
  Testament "title page" -- the page that divides
  between the books of Malachi and Matthew -- the
  Old and New Testaments -- in our modern Bibles,
  was "first" placed in the Bible by Roman Catholic
  sectarian "translators" and " publishers" and was
  "first" printed by Pruss of Strassburg in 1486AD.
• These quotations also show that from the time of
  the inspired new covenant apostles in the 1st
  century to 1486, there was no "inspired" or
  "apostolic" division "authorized" between the
  books of Malachi and Matthew.

• AMERICAN BIBLE SOCIETY, New York City, N.Y. "Dear
  Mr. Billingsly, The first printed edition of the
  Bible was a copy of the Latin Vulgate printed
  about 1455 by Johan Gutenberg. Following
  traditional usage, it had neither title pages nor
  page numbers, and the books of the Bible with
  their traditional introductory prefaces were

Facts About MMLJ/BC

1. MMLJBC describe the last thirty-three years of
   the Old Testament age -- not the beginning of the
   New Testament age. Therefore, Malachi is not the
   last book of the Old Testament or Mosaical age.
   Therefore, Matthew is not the first book of the
   New Testament age.
2. 2. In MMLJBC, Jesus declares more that 100 times
   that he is teaching the Old Testament law of
   Moses not 1 time did he ever state that he was
   teaching New Testament doctrine. In MMLJBC,
   several hundred times the Scriptures describe him
   teaching the Old Testament law of Moses not once
   time do they ever describe him teaching New
   Testament doctrine.
3. 3. In MMLJBC, Christ primarily addresses the Old
   Testament Jews of Israel only on rare occasions
   an alien Gentile. In MMLJBC, he never addresses
   or speaks to New Testament Christians. In fact,
   in MMLJBC, Jesus never used the word Christian.

• 4. In MMLJBC, Jesus was an Old Testament
  Israelite -- not a New Testament Christian.
  Jesus was a member of the Old Testament kingdom
  of Israel -- not a member of the New Testament
  kingdom.
• 5. In MMLJBC, Jesus was an Old Testament
  prophet, not a New Testament evangelist. In
  MMLJBC, Jesus restored unfaithful Jews back to
  God under the Old Testament law of Moses, he did
  not save alien sinners by the New Testament
  gospel.
• 6. In MMLJBC, Jesus preached only the
  Old Testament Mosaical gospel (Lk. 416-21), he
  never preached the New Testament gospel of his
  death, burial and resurrection (1 Cor. 151-4).7.
  In MMLJBC, Jesus preached the Old Testament plan
  of salvation in the law of Moses for Jews only
  (Matt.1916-22), he did not preach the New
  Testment gospel of Christs death, burial and
  resurrection.

Five Things We Must Learn MMLJ/BC

• Five Things We Must Learn
• About Matthew, Mark, Luke And John
• If we are to believe in and obey the New
  Testament of Christ today, we must learn the
  difference between and Old and New Testaments. We
  must not interpret Christ's teaching of the Old
  Testament law of Moses in MMLJ/BC -- as New
  Testament "doctrine." Let us learn the following
  five biblical facts.
• 1.MMLJ/BC describe the last thirty-three years of
  the Old Testament Mosaical "age" -- rather than
  the "beginning"of the New Testament "age." More
  than 100 times in MMLJ/BC Jesus declared that he
  was teaching the Old Testament law of Moses. Not
  once did he ever state in MMLJ/BC that he was
  teaching New Testament "doctrine."Only Acts 2 and
  the epistles of Romans through Revelation 22
  describe new covenant "faith," doctrine,
  establishment of the New Testament
  "church-kingdom" and examples of new covenant
  "Christian" worship and living.
• 2.MMLJ/BC describe the mission of John and Jesus
  to only Old Testament Israel (Matt. 1524
  105-6) for the purpose of "fulfilling" all
  promises and prophecies that God had made to his
  old covenant people. They show John and Jesus as
  Old Testament "prophets" -- not New Testament
  "evangelists."

• 3.MMLJ/BC record the events when John and Jesus
  preached the Old Testament Mosaical "gospel" or
  "good news" of God for Old Testament Israel
  (Matt. 417 Lk. 416-21). They declared that the
  Messiah had come to Israel, that the "end" of
  Israel and abolishment of the law of Moses was
  near (Matt. 2143), and that God's new covenant
  "kingdom" was "at hand.
• 4.MMLJ/BC describe examples of unfaithful Jews
  "believing" on their Old Testament Messiah and
  being restored back to God under the Old
  Testament law of Moses.
• 5.MMLJ/BC show John and Jesus worshipping
  according to the law of Moses, commanding the
  offering ofanimal sacrifice and use of
  instrumental music in temple worship while the
  Old Testament Mosaical covenant wasstill in
  force. MMLJ/BC do not show John and Jesus
  worshipping with the New Testament "church."

15
Truth About MMLJ/BC

• Details the doctrinal difference
  between the Old Testament "gospel, faith and
  baptism" of the Old Testament "limited"
  commission of Matthew 105-6 that John and Jesus
  preached to Israel in Matthew, Mark, Luke and
  John -- before the cross (MMLJ/BC), and the New
  Testament "gospel, faith, and baptism" of the New
  Testament "great" commission of Matthew 2819-20
  that the apostles preached to the alien world in
  Acts 2 through Revelation 22 -- after the cross.
• Uncovers New Testament reasons why we cannot
  teach, obey or follow Christ's Old Testament
  teaching of the law of Moses and his practice of
  Israel's old covenant religion in Matthew,
  Mark, Luke and John -- before the cross
  (MMLJ/BC).
• Explains why any Christians today who attempts
  to keep the Old Testament teaching of the law of
  Moses by Christ in MMLJ/BC will lead to that
  child of God to fall from grace (Gal. 216,
  54).

• Uncovers why the book of Malachi is not the last
  book of the Old Testament and why Matthew is not
  the first book of the New Testament.
• Explains why according to Gods own plan that
  Christ was born in the Old Testament age and
  under the law of Moses in Israel. How he did all
  of his teaching to Israel in MMLJ/BC under the
  jurisdiction of the old covenant law of Moses.
• Shows why these four Old Testament "gospels" of
  the Law of Moses in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John
  -- before the cross (MMLJ/BC) must be placed in
  the Old Testament age as did the Holy Spirit and
  apostles, and not in this New Testament age as
  the uninspired, sectarian and denominational
  translators and commercial printers of our modern
  Bibles have done.
• Describes how to "rightly divide" between God's
  old covenant teaching of the law of Moses by
  Christ in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John -- before
  the cross (MMLJ/BC), and Christ's new covenant
  teaching revealed through the Holy Spirit in "the
  apostles' doctrine" of Acts 2 through Revelation
  22 -- after the cross.

16
New Testament Christians Cannot

• New Testament Christians cannot follow the Old
  Testament religion that Christ observed in
  MMLJ/BC.
• They cannot worship God in the temple at
  Jerusalem or synagogues in Israel according to
  the Old Testament law of Moses as Christ did in
  MMLJ/BC.
• 13And the Jews passover was at hand, and Jesus
  went up to Jerusalem, 14And found in the temple
  those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the
  changers of money sitting 15And when he had
  made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all
  out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen
  and poured out the changers money, and overthrew
  the tables 16And said unto them that sold
  doves, Take these things hence make not my
  Fathers house an house of merchandise ( John
  213-16).

• 23And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in
  their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the
  kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and
  all manner of disease among the people. 24And
  his fame went throughout all Syria and they
  brought unto him all sick people that were taken
  with divers diseases and torments, and those
  which were possessed with devils, and those which
  were lunatic, and those that had the palsy and
  he healed them. 25And there followed him great
  multitudes of people from Galilee, and from
  Decapolis, and from Jerusalem, and from Judaea,
  and from beyond Jordan.

17
NewTestament Church Cannot

• 3. They cannot teach the Old Testament law of
  Moses to other Christians that Christ taught in
  MMLJ/BC to only Old Testament Israel.
• 12Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that
  men should do to you, do ye even so to them for
  this is the law and the prophets (Matthew
  712). 
• 4. The New Testament church cannot offer animal
  blood sacrifices to God as Christ commanded
  Israel under the law of Moses.
• 1When he was come down from the mountain, great
  multitudes followed him. 2And, behold, there
  came a leper and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if
  thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. 3And Jesus
  put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I
  will be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy
  was cleansed. 

• 4And Jesus saith unto him, See thou tell no man
  but go thy way, show thyself to the priest, and
  offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a
  testimony unto them (Matthew 81-4).
• The New Testament church cannot go only to the
  lost sheep of the house of Israel (Matthew
  101-6) as Christ commanded his disciples in
  Israel under the law of Moses in MMLJ/BC
  Christians must go into all
  the world.
• 18And Jesus came and spake unto them,
  saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and
  in earth. 19Go ye therefore, and teach all
  nations, baptizing them in the name of the
  Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy
  Ghost 20Teaching them to observe all things
  whatsoever I have commanded you and, lo, I am
  with you alway, even unto the end of the world.
  Amen (Matthew 21816-20).

18
New Testament Christians Cannot

• 7. The New Testament church cannot observe the
  Old Testament sabbath as Christ did with Israel
  in MMLJ/BC.
• 1And he entered again into the synagogue and
  there was a man there which had a withered
  hand. 2And they watched him, whether he would
  heal him on the sabbath day that they might
  accuse him. 3And he saith unto the man which had
  the withered hand, Stand forth. 4And he saith
  unto them, Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath
  days, or to do evil? to save life, or to kill?
  But they held their peace. 5And when he had
  looked round about on them with anger, being
  grieved for the hardness of their hearts, he
  saith unto the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And
  he stretched it out and his hand was restored
  whole as the other.  (Mark 31-6).

• The New Testament church cannot offer Old
  Testament tithes that Christ commanded Old
  Testament Israel in MMLJ/BC.
• 10Two men went up into the temple to pray the
  one a Pharisee, and the other a publican. 11The
  Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God,
  I thank thee, that I am not as other men are,
  extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this
  publican. 12I fast twice in the week, I give
  tithes of all that I possess. 13And the
  publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so
  much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his
  breast, saying, God be merciful to me a
  sinner. 14I tell you, this man went down to his
  house justified rather than the other for every
  one that exalteth himself shall be abased and he
  that humbleth himself shall be exalted (Luke
  189-14).
