There are many debates these days about what law or commandments we are to follow. The simple answer is Love. In Matthew 22:37-40; “Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.This is the first and great commandment.And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.”

So basically if your nail is not fastened in that sure place, then your religion is just in vain, and will also eventually fail and fall to the ground. It is written in
James 2:8; “If ye fulfill the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself, ye do well:” And also here in Galatians 5:14; “For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.”

We are told in Romans 13:8-10; “Owe no man anything, but to love one another: for he that loves another hath fulfilled the law.
For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.Love works no ill to his neighbor: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.”


But how can we love as we should, because we by our
first nature are evil. Just as it is written “the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth;” Jesus also said in
Mark 10:18 that there none that is good, but One, that is God." So how do we love as we should love?

The only way we can love, as we should love, is to have the Love of God dwelling in us. Jesus gave us a new commandment in
John 13:34; “A new commandment I give unto you, that ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.” Many don’t understand why Jesus said it was a “new” commandment, as it was also written in the Old Testament to love your neighbor. But Jesus said to love one another “as I have loved you.”

Again how can we love as Jesus loved us? It is only accomplished by the love of God being shed abroad in our hearts by way of the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. Jesus said in
John 17:26; “And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.” And so that is how we love, as He loved; and thereby are we also loved of the Father. And if Christ truly dwells in your hearts by faith; then you shall also be rooted and grounded in His love.

For it is not our own works, or our own righteousness that reconciles us back to God, but the righteousness of Christ working in us by faith.
Philippians 3:9; “And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:"

That which we could have never accomplished for ourselves, Christ has done for us; just as Christ is our righteousness if we abide in Him, and He in us. For He is the one who guides us, and He is the One who keeps us in the Way; just as David also said by the Spirit in
Psalm 23:3; “He restores my soul: he leads me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.”

He is that good Shepherd who guides us, and directs our path for us by His Spirit bearing witness to our hearts and minds what is that good acceptable will of God (Listen to Him).


So if Christ dwells in you, then you also shall walk in the same Spirit of righteousness as Christ (who knew no
sin).
2 Corinthians 5:21;“For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.”
So if we are truly in Christ, (who is the righteousness of God) then sin shall have no more dominion over your life ; for Christ is not a sinner, and neither shall we be if we abide in Him. God has not called us to unrighteousness or uncleanness, but to righteousness and to holiness.

And so now we also conclude as in
Romans 8:1; “There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.”

2 Corinthians 13:14; “The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen.” Peace.

Only when the Law of Yahweh is looked at through the carnal mind does it not fulfill love.

Mattithyah 22:37-40, "Yahshua said to him: You must love Yahweh your Father with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets."

Romans 13:9-10, "For the commandments: You shall not commit adultery, You shall not murder, You shall not steal, You shall not bring false testimony, You shall not covet, and all other commandments are summed up in these Laws; namely: You must love your neighbor as yourself. Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfilling of the law."

That is why the Savior said this:

Mattithyah 24:12, "And because iniquity will abound, the love of the many will grow cold."

"iniquity" is:#0458 anomia {an-om-ee'-ah} from G0459

Greek Word Study (Transliteration-Pronunciation Etymology & Grammar)
1) the condition of without law
1a) because ignorant of it
1b) because of violating it
2) contempt and violation of law, iniquity, wickedness

1 Yahchanan 5:2-3, "By this we know that we love the children of Yahweh: When we love Yahweh by keeping His Laws. For this is the love of Yahweh: That we keep His Law, and His Law is not grievous."

entole = Command, Law

1 John 5:2-3[SUP], "[/SUP]This is how we know that we love the children of God: by loving God and carrying out his commands. [SUP]3[/SUP]In fact, this is love for God: to keep his commands. And his commands are not burdensome,
"

Can it be any clearer?

Romans 8:5-8, "For those who live according to the flesh, set their minds on the things of the flesh; but those who live according to the Spirit, set their minds on the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against; (bitterly opposed to), Yahweh; for it his not subject to the Law of Yahweh, nor indeed can be. So then, those who are of the flesh cannot please Yahweh."

I want to point out that the words that are in italics are ADDED:

Ephesians 2:15-16, (NKJV), "having abolished in His flesh the enmity, that is, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, so as to create in Himself one new man from the two, thus making peace, and that He might reconcile them both to God in one body through the cross, thereby putting to death the enmity. "

Not only odes the next verse tell us what was abolished, but when you remove the ADDED words the meaning changes.

Ephesians 2:15-16, "Abolishing the enmity Law, the Commandments, and the Ordinances, through His own flesh, in order to create in Himself one new man from the two; making peace, That would reconcile both in one body to Yahweh through the sacrifice--having killed the enmity through Himself."

enmity is:
Thayer's (New Testament Greek-English Lexicon)

Feminine of G2190; hostility; by implication a reason for opposition:—enmity, hatred.

The opposition to Yahweh's instructions was abolished, not the Law it's self.

Yeremyah 31:33, "After those days, says Yahweh: I will put My Law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; minds, and I will be their Father, and they will be My people."

It is impossible to have HIS LAW written on your heart if you are in opposition (enmity) to it, so the ENMITY was abolished.

Romans 8:6-8, "For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against Yahweh; for it his not subject to the Law of Yahweh, nor indeed can be. So then, those who are of the flesh cannot please Yahweh."

Again:

"I will put My Law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts"

One can go to church everyday...be baptized in water a dozen times...never steal or commit adultery etc...etc....and still never keep the commandment of Christ to love as He has loved us. No one can fulfill what the law demanded unless the do it in love...and God is love and only those who love are His Children.

Behold, the days come, says Yahweh: that I will punish all those who are circumcised only physically, in their foreskins."

1Jo 4:19 We love him, because he first loved us.

No one can love until they first receive the ability from God....there is no boasting in the true gospel about how we love God......didn't work for Peter and I assure you it wont work for anyone else.

I will put My Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments, and do them. And you will dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and you will be My people, and I will be your Father."

Bind up the law, and seal the testimony among my disciples. The sealing up of the testimony is the seal of God written in our foreheads by His Spirit, He writes the name of His Son upon our hearts and minds. It is the name that no man receives, except those who have already received it.

Revelation 2:17He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.

Revelation 21:4-8 And Yahweh will wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there will be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, nor will there be any more pain, for the former things have passed away. And He Who sat upon the throne, said: Behold, I make all things new. And He said to me: Write, for these words are true and faithful.And He said to me: It is done! I am Aleph and Tau, the Beginning and the End. I will give to him who thirsts of the fountain of the water of life freely. He who overcomes will inherit all things; and I will be his Father, and he will be My son. But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and worshipers of false gods, and all liars, will have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone--which is the second death."

Ezekiyl 48:35, "The distance around the city will be eighteen thousand measures; and the name of the city from that day will be: YAHWEH SHAMMAH (Yahweh Is There)."

I love you too, did you understand what the Spirit is saying. :)
ok im going to put myself out there!

"To him that overcometh"

(John 12:48, "He who rejects Me, and does not follow My words has One Who judges him. The word that I have spoken, the same will be used to judge him in the last day."

John 5:24, "Most certainly I tell you, he who hears my word, and believes him who sent me, has eternal life, and doesn't come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life."

Deuteronomy 18:18-19, "I will raise up for them a Prophet like you from among their brothers, and I will put My words in His mouth, and He will tell them everything I command Him. Whoever will not listen to My words, which He speaks in My Name, I will judge him for it"

"listen" is word #8085 שָׁמַע shama` {shaw-mah'}

Brown-Driver-Briggs (Old Testament Hebrew-English Lexicon)
A primitive root; to hear intelligently (often with implication of attention, obedience, etc.; causatively to tell, etc.)

Hebrew Word Study (Transliteration-Pronunciation Etymology & Grammar) - 1) to hear, listen to, obey)

"will I give to eat of the hidden manna,"
(Ezekiel 47:12, "And on the banks, on both sides of the river, there will grow all kinds of trees for food. Their leaves will not wither, nor their fruit fail, but they will bear fresh fruit every month, because the water for them flows from the sanctuary. Their fruit will be for food, and their leaves for healing.”

Revelation 22:2, "through the middle of the street of the city; also, on either side of the river, the tree of life with its twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit each month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.")

"and will give him a white stone,"
(eternal life/sentence of acquittal)

and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it
(our new name! that only He knows! and who receives that name!)

The name of the city is close, but what is the name that no man receives. I'll give you a clue. John the Baptist said "no man receives" ........

Are you talking about the name of the city or the name given to us or the name given to the Messiah? I think im misunderstanding you here?

I am talking about the name no man receives, except those who have already received it. Look at John 3:32-33[SUP]32 [/SUP]And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth; and no man receiveth his testimony.

[SUP]33 [/SUP]He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is true."

Now to Isaiah 8:16 "Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples." Also here in Isaiah 8:20 "To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them."

So what does God write upon our hearts and minds that is hidden from the world (hidden manna). God writes his words on our hearts and minds, even the testimony of Jesus Christ. What is His name, and what is His Sons name?


Proverbs 30:4
Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou canst tell?

His Spirit comes in His name John 14:26 "But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

So what is the Son of God's name? Revelation 19:13 "And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.

God writes his words upon our heart, Christ in us (hidden Manna)
