- 1.25 13 Deadly Sins – Step By Step Destruction Of Assemblies
13 Deadly Sins is our Sabbath teaching that looks at the works of the flesh in Galatians 5. The focus here is on verses 20-21. We use these sins (in order of their listing in Galatians 5) to show how each sin progressively leads to the destruction of assemblies.
Significantly, you will see that looking into each sin gives important revelations that can help us to prevent and overcome the work of sin in our assemblies.
Before we do so, we also looked at the importance of gathering ourselves together, but at the same time, we look at the dangers of doing so, and how to overcome these dangers.
Below we present the scripture notes used in the teaching so you can follow along and have these scriptures as permanent references. You may also listen to the audio if you so prefer.
SCRIPTURE NOTES
TO ESCAPE JUDGMENT, WE HAVE TO SEPARATE OURSELVES FROM SIN

GOING BACK INTO THE LAND? WE ARE CALLED TO GATHER OURSELVES TOGETHER

Zephaniah 2:2 Before the decree bring forth, before the day pass as the chaff, before the fierce anger of YAHUAH come upon you, before the day of YAHUAH’S anger come upon you.
ASSEMBLE YOURSELVES AND COME
Isaiah 45:20 Assemble yourselves and come; draw near together, ye that are escaped of the nations: they have no knowledge that set up the wood of their graven image, and pray unto a god that cannot save.
WE ARE GATHERED FOR TMH TO PERFECT US; WATCH
Zephaniah 2:3 Seek ye YAHUAH, all ye meek of the earth, which have wrought his judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall be hid in the day of YAHUAH’S anger.

Ephesians 4:14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
Ephesians 4:15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even HaMashiach:
Ephesians 4:16 From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.
WE MUST GATHER TO WATCH
Luke 21:34 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.
Luke 21:35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.

GATHERING TOGETHER HELPS PREVENT OUR DESTRUCTION IN RELIGION
Hebrews 10:24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:
Hebrews 10:25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
Hebrews 10:26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,
Hebrews 10:27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.
WHEN WE ARE GATHERED IN THE END TIMES, HE WILL PLEAD WITH US (SECOND EXODUS)
Ezekiel 20:34 And I will bring you out from the people, and will gather you out of the countries wherein ye are scattered, with a mighty hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with fury poured out.
Ezekiel 20:35 And I will bring you into the wilderness of the people, and there will I plead with you face to face.
Ezekiel 20:36 Like as I pleaded with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so will I plead with you, saith the Lord GOD.
TMH USED NEBUCHADNEZZAR TO PLEAD WITH PHARAOH
Eze 17:15 But he rebelled against him in sending his ambassadors into Egypt, that they might give him horses and much people. Shall he prosper? shall he escape that doeth such things? or shall he break the covenant, and be delivered?
Eze 17:16 As I live, saith the Lord GOD, surely in the place where the king dwelleth that made him king, whose oath he despised, and whose covenant he brake, even with him in the midst of Babylon he shall die.
ze 17:17 Neither shall Pharaoh with his mighty army and great company make for him in the war, by casting up mounts, and building forts, to cut off many persons:
Eze 17:18 Seeing he despised the oath by breaking the covenant, when, lo, he had given his hand, and hath done all these things, he shall not escape.
Eze 17:19 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; As I live, surely mine oath that he hath despised, and my covenant that he hath broken, even it will I recompense upon his own head.
Eze 17:20 And I will spread my net upon him, and he shall be taken in my snare, and I will bring him to Babylon, and will plead with him there for his trespass that he hath trespassed against me.
HOW DID HE PLEAD WITH PHARAOH? HE STRENGTHENED THE KING OF BABYLON
Ezk_30:24 And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and put my sword in his hand: but I will break Pharaoh’s arms, and he shall groan before him with the groanings of a deadly wounded man.
Ezk_30:25 But I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and the arms of Pharaoh shall fall down; and they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall put my sword into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall stretch it out upon the land of Egypt.
SO TMH WILL USE HIS LEADERS IN THE WILDERNESS OF TMH TO PLEAD WITH HIS PEOPLE
Ezekiel 20:37 And I will cause you to pass under the rod, and I will bring you into the bond of the covenant:
Ezekiel 20:38 And I will purge out from among you the rebels, and them that transgress against me: I will bring them forth out of the country where they sojourn, and they shall not enter into the land of Israel: and ye shall know that I am YAHUAH.
AFTER PLEADING WITH HIS PEOPLE, TMH WILL EXALT THE REMNANT
Eze 17:21 And all his fugitives with all his bands shall fall by the sword, and they that remain shall be scattered toward all winds: and ye shall know that I the LORD have spoken it.
Eze 17:22 Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will also take of the highest branch of the high cedar, and will set it; I will crop off from the top of his young twigs a tender one, and will plant it upon an high mountain and eminent:

NEW TESTAMENT? WE HAVE TO SEPARATE FROM SINNERS WHO ARE GATHERED WITH US
1 Corinthians 5:9 I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators:
1 Corinthians 5:10 Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world.
1 Corinthians 5:11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.
1 Corinthians 5:12 For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within?
1 Corinthians 5:13 But them that are without Aluah judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.
ALSO, IF ANYONE BECOMES CORRUPT AMONG US, WE HAVE TO PUT THEM OUT
2 Corinthians 6:14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
2 Corinthians 6:15 And what concord hath HaMashiach with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
2 Corinthians 6:16 And what agreement hath the temple of Aluah with idols? for ye are the temple of the living Aluah; as Aluah hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their Aluah, and they shall be my people.
2 Corinthians 6:17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,
2 Corinthians 6:18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
PRE-REQUISITES FOR BEING A TRUE BELIEVER TODAY
Matthew 16:24 Then said Yahusha unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
Matthew 16:25 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.
Matthew 16:26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
Matthew 16:27 For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.
Luke 14:26 If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.
Luke 14:27 And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.
Luke 14:33 So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.
Joh 15:4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.
Joh 15:5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.
Joh 15:6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.
WHY DO WE HAVE TO FIRST DENY OURSELVES? THE SINFUL NATURE IN US
Romans 7:22 For I delight in the law of Aluah after the inward man:
Romans 7:23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.
WHAT DOES THIS SINFUL NATURE DO TO US?
Galatians 5:17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
HOW DOES THE FLESH OVERPOWER US? THE LAW OF SIN AND DEATH
Romans 7:15 For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I.
Romans 7:16 If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good.
Romans 7:17 Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
Romans 7:18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.
Romans 7:19 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.
Romans 7:20 Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
Romans 7:21 I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.
SO, BELIEVERS HAVE TO BE WALKING IN THE RUACH
Galatians 5:16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
Galatians 5:17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
IF WALKING IN THE RUACH, THEN WE WILL BE LED BY THE RUACH
John 3:5 Yahusha answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of Aluah.
John 3:6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
John 3:7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
John 3:8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
WALKING IN THE RUACH, WE WILL BEAR THE FRUIT OF THE RUACH
Galatians 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
Galatians 5:23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
Galatians 5:24 And they that are HaMashiach’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
IF WALKING IN THE RUACH? WE WILL BE GUIDED INTO ALL TRUTH
John 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
XXX – BUT IF NOT WALKING IN THE RUACH, WE WILL BE WALKING IN THE WORKS OF THE FLESH – XXX
THE GREATEST PROBLEM IN AN ASSEMBLY OF BELIEVERS? SELF-JUSTIFICATION (I AM RIGHT, YOU ARE WRONG)
– what about HaMashiach?
– He is forgotten. Why?
– Self is not denied
1 Corinthians 6:7 Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another. Why do ye not rather take wrong? why do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded?
