Are keeping the Creator’s Commandments and Instructions in His Law optional for His creations? Does declaring oneself under grace and not under the Law of the Creator exempt them from the Law? Can creation decide on its own what Laws it will observe and what Laws it won’t? To be cut off from God or from the people of God is a serious consequence of an action, attitude, or behavior that is not only frowned upon by YeHoVaH, but results in a separation that is designed to bring about repentance of an action, attitude, or behavior. To be cut off can be a temporary or a permanent consequence. In this very important teaching, we examine some of the examples in the Bible in both the Old Testament and the New Testament where being cut off was an outcome whether permanent or temporary, what it means to be cut off by God, and His Instructions of when to cut people off.

What does it mean to be “cut off” from God in the Bible? To be “cut off” means to be separated from God and His people due to disobedience, rebellion, or unrepentant sin. It is a serious consequence meant to bring awareness and repentance. In some cases, being cut off is temporary—restored through repentance and obedience—while in others, it is a permanent separation resulting from continued defiance against YeHoVaH’s commandments.
