Really? Satan doesn't hate truth? His minions doesn't hate truth?
Throughout this thread there's a great deal of hatred for the truth.
You simply refuse to see it.
Cough cough....a hatred for the false dogma pushed by a few........such as the following...

a. We keep ourselves saved
b. Jesus cannot finish what he started
c. Jesus needs our help to keep us saved
d. Sinless perfectionism
e. The words eternal as applied unto life = temporal
f. The seal of the Holy spirit can be broken like the lid on a bowl of left over lasagna
g. Salvation can be lost and gained like a dime in the park


and on and on and on.................

ap-i-theh'-o
From G545; to disbelieve (wilfully and perversely): - not believe, disobedient, obey not, unbelieving.
Total KJV occurrences: 16


Obedience- belief

Disobedience- unbelief.
You DO realize you just said that obedience is faith & lack of faith is disobedience, right?
I thought you believed in a faith without works?

I just wonder what they do with all of the cracker jack boxes after getting their theology off of the comic books found therein.....
I was wondering why Safeway has been out of cracker jacks for weeks now.

a. We keep ourselves saved

We offer ourselves a living sacrifice to God.
Romans 12:1-2, “I call upon you, therefore, brothers, through the compassion of Yah, to present your bodies a living offering – set-apart, well-pleasing to Yah – your reasonable worship. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you prove what is that good and well-pleasing and perfect desire of Yah.”

[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]James 1:12, "Blessed is the man who does endure trial, for when he has been proved, he shall receive the crown of life which the Master has promised to those who love Him."[/FONT]


[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Hebrews 10:36, “For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of Yah you may receive what is promised.”[/FONT]

b. Jesus cannot finish what he started

Unless you repent, you shall likewise perish
Acts 3:19, "Repent therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out; that times of refreshing may come from the presence of YHWH."


c. Jesus needs our help to keep us saved

We need Jesus help if we are to be saved.
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."


d. Sinless perfectionism

Humble obedience to God
1 Corinthians 7:19, The circumcision is naught, and the uncircumcision is naught, but the guarding of the commands of Yah does matter!”


e. The words eternal as applied unto life = temporal

We are born mortal, and will remain that way until a higher power grants us immortality
1 Corinthians 15:51-55, “See, I speak a secret to you: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible has to put on incorruption, and this mortal to put on immortality. And when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall come to be the word that has been written, “Death is swallowed up in overcoming. O Death, where is your sting? O grave, where is your overcoming?”


f. The seal of the Holy spirit can be broken like the lid on a bowl of left over lasagna

The Holy Spirit is given to those who obey God.
Acts 5:32, "“And we are His witnesses to these matters, and so also is the Set-apart Spirit whom Yah has given to those who obey Him.”
1 John 3:24, "And the one guarding His commands stays in Him, and He in him. And by this we know that He stays in us, by the Spirit which He gave us.”

g. Salvation can be lost and gained like a dime in the park

Not everyone who say Lord, Lord is granted Salvation.
Mat 7:21-23, "Not everyone who says to Me; Master! Master! Will enter into the Kingdom of YHWH, but only he who does the will of My Father Who is in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day; Master! Master! Have we not prophesied in Your Name, and cast out demons in Your Name, and in Your Name performed many wonderful works? But then I will declare to them; I never knew you. Get away from Me, you who practice iniquity."



and on and on and on.................

"many" come in His Name to deceive"
2 John/Yahanan 1:9, "Everyone who goes on ahead and does not abide in the teaching of the Messiah, does not have Yah. Whoever abides in the teaching has both the Father and the Son."

Not wishing to argue with you here.
Thats not my style.

But the truth is others can say the same about you

”Many come in his name to deceive”

To be honest I am in the catergory of the people you accuse of comeing to deceive.
I am not here to do that.
I don’t think you are either.

We all have a purpose and it’s not deceive.

Lets not go down that route.

Works will be judged and burned up If crap.

Faith will stand the test. Gold

I think Studyman is saying that if one says "obedience" others claim that person is preaching "sinless perfection" or of one says we need to "do His will" others claim that is preaching justified by works...

I thought the unforgivable sin was to reject Jesus.
Yes, and the reason it is UNFORGIVABLE is it is the Holy Spirit who works on one's heart to try to get them to Believe, and when they reject Christ, they then are blaspheming all the work of the HOLY SPIRIT.

i hear what you are saying.

For the record to me obedience is not sinless perfection and we are not justified by works.

I just want to be like Jesus and be the person he has called me to be.

Thats all I can ask every morning when I wake.

May I not be a Pharisee and if I get it wrong let me know and bring it before you.

Spoken like a true hater. No one has to expose you, you do such a great job on your own.
May I suggest, you read a major part of the past posts first. I think you will be the one apologizing.

I agree, Im not perfect, but rather weak without Him, yet I want to do His will, no mater if I fail 100 times I want to return to Him 101.

Proverbs 17:3, “A refining pot is for silver and a furnace for gold, But יהוה tries the hearts.”

I love the way you have put that.
One step forward. But a step forwards. The step may small to start with but they get bigger.

God bless you my friend and brother in Jesus.

I've seen a lot of postings here with no verses.
Read some pretty harsh stuff too.
Very unchristianly...
