Here is the Truth. You should OBEY all things that Jesus Christ tells you to do AND all things the Apostles of Jesus Christ tells you to do? Do those things and you will be doing the Will of the Father in Heaven and will be accepted by Him.
For example, Does Jesus tell Christians to continue to keep the Sabbath? No He does not teach that ANYWHERE.
Does the Apostle teach Christians to continue to keep the Sabbath? No they do not teach that ANYWHERE.
Do men of this generation teach that you MUST keep the Sabbath? Yes they do.
So then men of today teach things that are contrary to what Jesus Himself, and His Apostles taught us to do.
i assure you with no doubts whatsoever. IF Jesus wanted us to continue to keep the Sabbath, Jesus and/or His Apostles would have plainly told us to do so, in one of the thousands of verses they gave us to follow. Did they forget to mention that they wanted us to continue to keep it? Or did Jesus and the all the Apostles knew that we no longer had to keep it, and therefore do not instruct us Christians to do it? My point is, if you DO what Jesus and His Apostles tells you to do, you will be accepted into the Kingdom of Heaven. Do not listen to those of the last days generation who add burdens upon the Christians which Jesus nor any Apostle ever instructed us to do, We are not under the LAW, we are under the Law of Liberty, not the Laws of Moses, not the 10 Commandments. What does the Apostle John say plainly to us Christians. Consider:
1Jn 3:22 And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.
Now many in this generation will ADD (interpret via men) this verse to mean the 10 commandments. But what does the Apostle John PLAINLY tells us what HIS Commandments are?
1Jn 3:22 And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.
1Jn 3:23 And this is his commandment, That we should (1)
believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and (2)
love one another, as he gave us commandment.
1Jn 3:24 And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.
Do THAT, and you will be accepted with HIM, as it is written. Those who believe we are to keep the LAW, will be held accountable to that LAW, as it is written if you break the least of these, you break them all. Those who want to be under the LAW, will be judged by that LAW. Anyone who wants to live under the LAW, is not under the Law of Liberty. Those who accept Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord, are free from the LAW, they are no longer in bondage to the LAW as to do them, they are free. But now we are under a new covenant, a new agreement, we are to obey what Jesus and His Apostles tell us to do. And Jesus and His Apostle plainly tells us, over and over and over again to LOVE ONE ANOTHER. i can't stress enough, how important it is to LOVE ONE ANOTHER. God is LOVE. Those who do not LOVE ONE ANOTHER, do NOT have God. If God be in you, you will LOVE ONE ANOTHER, for God is LOVE. Those who get on these boards and try to hurt people, or try to upset people, or try to get people riled, or say hurtful things to others, or mocks others, or belittles others, or make fun of others. Where is GOD in them, Where is the LOVE for them at? Those who do not have LOVE, do not have God, no matter how loudly they proclaim with their mouths they do. You will know them by their fruits.
Your either one of those that LOVE ONE ANOTHER
or
You are one of those that don't.
