To obey Christ's Instructions is not comparable to lucifer' fall.. what type of belief system are you partaking in?

Children of GOD are obedient through their Faith in the Messiah. We are to walk in the Truth... it is what we do after hearing and believing the Gospel..

The power of GOD is able to make us His Saints through Faith in His Son... nothing is impossible for those that believe.. because GOD be their strength always..

The Faith of Abraham... GOD gave instruction and Abraham obeyed... because He believed GOD.

No different to Christians, Christ instructs we do because we believe Him and if He wants us to be perfect then Believe Him... keeping His Word is the true way that Christ finishes what He began... for we believe unto the saving of our souls to be counted worthy and not defile our garments like He warned...
Re-read with understanding......I said nothing of obeying laws and regulations.....and it seems you approach all verbiage the same way...blind to what is said and fixated upon some law abiding working for dogma that saves yourself......!

Abraham could of said I believe and then not be moved.. but no.. He believed and by His works His Faith was made perfect.. all by the power of GOD given to those that Believe..
Abraham believed God and it was put to his account for righteousness and PAUL who was inspired (you are not) said we conclude a man is justified by faith without works.....SORRY....I will take PAUL over all of you lawyers, Pharisees and blind leaders of the blind!

Isayah 5:20, "Woe to those who call evil righteous, and righteous evil; who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!"


Children of GOD are obedient through their Faith in the Messiah. We are to walk in the Truth... it is what we do after hearing and believing the Gospel..
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]2 Corinthians 5:15, "and He died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves, but for Him who died for them, and was raised.”[/FONT]


The power of GOD is able to make us His Saints through Faith in His Son... nothing is impossible for those that believe.. because GOD be their strength always..
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]John/Yahanan 15:5-16, "I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, produces much fruit; but without Me, you can do nothing. If anyone does not abide in Me, he is thrown away like a branch, and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned. If you abide in Me, and letting My words; abide in you, you will ask what you will, and it will be done for you. In this is My Father glorified: when you produce much fruit; and in this way you become My disciples. Just as the Father has loved Me, so have I loved you; continue in My love. If you keep My Commands, you will abide in My love; just as I have kept My Father's Commands, and abide in His love. These things I have spoken to you, that My joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be complete. This is My Command: Love one another as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this: that one would lay down his life on behalf of his brothers. You are My brothers, if you do whatever I command you."[/FONT]


The Faith of Abraham... GOD gave instruction and Abraham obeyed... because He believed GOD.
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Genesis 26:5, “Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my Laws.”[/FONT]



[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Romans 4:3, “For what does the Scripture say? “Aḇraham believed Yah, and it was reckoned to him for righteousness.”[/FONT]


[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]By belief, Aḇraham obeyed

[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Hebrews 3:3:18-19, “And to whom did He swear that they would not enter into His rest, but to those who did not obey? we see that they were unable to enter in because of unbelief."[/FONT]



No different to Christians, Christ instructs we do because we believe Him and if He wants us to be perfect then Believe Him... keeping His Word is the true way that Christ finishes what He began... for we believe unto the saving of our souls to be counted worthy and not defile our garments like He warned...

let me explain this to you workers and Hebrew rooters - Genesis 12- God called Abram- grace- Abram believed-faith- Abram took his family and began the journey- works. just as Paul said-grace , faith, works.

this is why we should rightly read the Bible. meaning accepting clear concepts with out trying to re-define them.

Seeing how I never said the following....your implication makes you into a false accuser......hence breaking the very LAW you push and claim to uphold....so...did you lose salvation for doing such?

I will ask you the same thing....seeing how I did not say the above in my post, this makes you a false accuser and breaks the very law you claim to uphold and follow....so...did you not just lose salvation by your law breaking?

Did I reply to your post? No, I was reply to their post and yes those who teach that obedience to Yahshua's words are comparable to the adversaries fall it holds true.

At the end of the day it boils down to the simple fact that they trust themselves and their power over the power and promises of Christ......they reject and flat out deny that JESUS begins, finishes and completes the work of faith in us.....HE is the one who finishes and completes....NOT US.....to say I MUST places emphasis upon US and what WE do and NOT on CHRIST and what HE DOES......at it's heart, their view is no different that what Lucifer did when he fell....I WILL........
and the adversary did not put emphasis on saying "I must follow Yahshua/Jesus" the adversary hated everything righteous and the Messiah and did everything in oppisition. So your statement was wrong anyway. the adversary sought to take the throne of Yah thus trying to be higher than Yah. Even if a human says "I want to use all my heart all my strength and all my might to follow Yah" it is not bad. Actually it's required:

Mat 22:36-40, "Teacher, what is the greatest commandment in the Law? Yahshua said to him: You must love YHWH your Father with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might (Deuteronomy 6:5). This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself (Leviticus 19:18). On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets."

Does it say I will love God for you?

or

You must love YHWH your Father with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might

You must, not you may, or it's optional, you must...

His words....

If obeying my Lord and Saviour is saving myself to you then so be it.. my heart obeys the One that came and saved me and I Believe His Testament above you and your accusations of.

Do do not equate those that follow Christ to the fall of lucifer.. you run your mouth without fear of what you propose.. and you should stop for your own sake because any misled by your teaching will be upon you.

What I said in my post was valid....I could care less if you receive it or not....JESUS is the beginner, finisher and completion of our faith having his righteousness IMPUTED by faith without the LAW....ALL who say they MUST deny CHRIST...end of story....receive it or stay blind!

Rightly so.. but you understand not what Paul is saying.. which is the error of your ways...

James also inspired explains it splendidly.. Peter knew beforehand Paul's writings would be controversial.. and it is so.. but Paul taught it was important to Keep the Commandments and each writing all affirms to the Messiah's Testament.

BLAH blah blah LAWYER/PHARISEE.......KEEP proving your guilt by attempting to adhere to that which proves your guilt.....let me know how keeping it 24/7/365 goes for you.....HIS testament is and was to have his righteousness imputed by faith WITHOUT THE LAW.....and that which proves GUILT will NEVER justify before GOD

Remember....if you do not OBEY ALL applicable LAWS 24/7/365 your whole life you are guilty...........and condemned.....I suggest Romans 3.......and the righteousness of Christ WITHOUT the LAW applied by faith and IMPUTED by faith.....the same righteousness Abraham had applied before he ever done ONE WORK for GOD!

Yep the bolded fits you well.....I fully understand what IMPUTED by FAITH without WORKS means........and also RIGHTEOUSNESS without the LAW.......

THE LAW PROVES YOUR GUILT BECAUSE YOU CANNOT KEEP IT.....wake up and realize the bolded applies unto yourself and your erroneous working for ATTEMPTED law abiding view....emphasis upon ATTEMPTED

I perceive great bitterness becomes you... you can not condemn those set free by Christ. If what proves your guilt does not become Love for GOD and one and other you are yet to Repent and believe... for Christ saves us to be Children that obey GOD.

The funniest thing on this site....the LAWYERS and PHARISEES that dogmatically push obeying the LAWS of YESHUA with all their verbiage and yet they regularly break the LAW they claim to uphold......no wonder JESUS called the Pharisees hypocrites........seems that apple does not fall far from the tree......

I have no bitterness at all....just cannot stand false ideology that binds the hands of men into a position of bondage.....like the kind the LAWYERS and PHARISEES push...a LAW abiding working for dogma.....similar to the 1st century and what JESUS actually came to set men free from.......

THAT which proves GUILT will NEVER set you free....THE LAW<----the strength of SIN proves your guilt because YOU cannot keep it...EVER!

It is not an error to believe and obey the Messiah. Those not born again are at enmity to GOD's Law.. that is so and that is why through Faith we receive the Holy Spirit that guides and comforts us reminding us of all Truth.

You lack Faith because the Messiah taught us to Keep the Law and I believe Him..

Try again......I have faith and the imputed righteousness of CHRIST without the LAW and or WORKS.....based upon GRACE

How is that working out for you....have you obey ALL applicable laws today, yesterday, last week, last year?

NOPE....your guilty........
