No, you are completely wrong.
Once you come to Christ you are no longer under law. If you start working at the law in your own understanding then you have fallen from Grace, if you ever were under grace to begin with.
Matt. 7:
20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
21 Not every one that saith unto me,
Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven;
but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Heb. 11:
6 But
without faith it is impossible to please
him: for he that cometh to God
must believe that he is, and
that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
My problem I have with your religion is that I must ignore so many scriptures in order to follow it, and then miss-represent many more. Coming to Jesus means more than lip service, and being under the law means being dead, not "loving God with all my heart".
A person is much more likely to not "shoplift" if they are under grace and understand what Christ does for them.
But if they are relying on their own understanding and their own strength then they are falling short in all their efforts.
Again, I don't believe it is impossible for me to stop stealing as my own choice. You can say it is impossible for you to "stop shoplifting" unless Jesus gives you superpowers. But the Bible doesn't support this preaching.
Romans 9:31-32
31 But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness.
32 Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone;
I know you don't believe much of the Bible, so you can't understand the difference between the "Law of Faith" and the "Law of Works".
Rom. 3:
27 Where
is boasting then? It is excluded.
By what law?
of works? Nay: but by the
law of faith.
28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the
deeds of the law.
To promote your ancient religious traditions you preach that there is no difference between the Pharisees version of the Levitical Priesthood "works of the Law" for remission of sins, and the First and Greatest Commandment on which all the Bible hangs on. (Not destroyed by as you preach)
So therefore, because you choose to reject God's Word, you don't understand that the Pharisees depended on their version of animal sacrifices and Ceremonies used in the "Law of works" for remission of sins, instead of depending on the selfless sacrifice of their Messiah prophesied in the God's Word that they also rejected..
Several have tried to show you through God's Words, but if you don't believe in them, how can that help you. So I'm not going to waste my time showing you what the "works of the Law" is that Paul is talking about again.
What exactly do you think you need to be obedient to in order to be righteous? Regarding Romans 6:14-18...
Rom. 6:
14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law,(Dead) but under grace.(Alive)
15 What then? shall we sin,(Transgress God's Commandments) because we are not under the law, (dead) but under grace? (Alive)
God forbid.
16 Know ye not, that to
whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death,
or of obedience unto righteousness?
You and I are both obedient to something. either our own righteousness, or the righteousness of God. Your own righteousness is sin, a filthy rag, your works. But God's Righteousness is perfect, Just, Holy and Good.
God's Righteousness is His Instructions, His Laws that He created for us, His Word. WE can either trust God (Have Faith) enough to follow His instructions, His Sayings, His Word, or we don't trust God and follow our own religious traditions like the Pharisees did.
I believe we should trust in God and His Instruction over the words and traditions of the Pope or Benny Hinn or Jack VanEmpe.
It's certainly not obedience to any law that is going to make you that way. So then what else could it possibly be??
You are following laws every day GP. You have religious works and traditions every day. You have your High Days, your Sabbaths, your religious traditions. You can not deny this. To say you have Faith without works is foolish. The question I ask myself is, "whose works are they. Did Jesus create and instruct them, or did some man.
I am truly a maggot turd no doubt. And certainly do not deserve what Jesus did for me. But to reject Him and His instructions is not the way to "glorify" Him no matter what you preach.
22 Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us,
and not unto the world?
23 Jesus answered and said unto him,
If a man love me,
he will keep my words: and my Father will love him,
and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
24 He that loveth me not
keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is
not mine, but the Father's which sent me.
So according to your doctrines and religious traditions, YES, I am wrong. But according to the "Saying's" of Jesus, both as my Messiah and as the creator God of the Bible, I am not wrong. And like Peter said.
Acts 5:
29 Then Peter and the
other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.
