Deuteronomy 1:8
See, I have given you this land. Go in and take possession of the land the LORD swore he would give to your fathers--to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob--and to their descendants after them."
did he mean the unfaithful unbelievers? since when? it's evident you don't realize the first christian were the jews of the new testament. even they didn't look for that "land" they understood where Mt Zion is.
do you?

1 john 3 is talking about having confidence before God. We can not have this confidence if our heart condemns us. We will always lack faith in God to keep his promises, And Lack faith that his ways are not our ways, and we need to slay the thing inside us which is the heart of the issue (human nature)

it does not say we can become condemned. That would be a misapplication of what John is saying.


It also goes to what I was saying, If we try to follow law. We can only have our hearts condemn us, Because no matter how hard we try, we still fail to follow this law. Those who follow Grace understand that their is no more condemnation. And to these people. we can have confidence in God. Because we know it is not us, it is HIM we place our confidence him (which is impossible when we try to follow law)
you have it the wrong way round it say if our hearts condemns we have no confidence, it does not say if we have no confidence our heart condemns us.

It quite clearly says that we become condemned 1 John 3:21 Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God.

I see this we will not agree on so to save it going into a argument that no one likes to hear i will agree to disagree with you on this one, but so far i do think me and you have had many disagreements but that is OK i have no problem with that.
we are from different countries and different beliefs and this will never change until the new earth has come. so what must we do we must not fall out over this no more

you first have to make distinction on whether people are deliberately trying to be false teacher befor you say as much. As we can see from this thread many people have different ideologies and since you have not made many posts then there is a good chance you have missed some wonderful posts by karrester.
Thank you for defending me, it is comforting to have earthly friends, and is a gift from God.

There is no friend like Messiah who lay His life down for sinners to repent. He asks little in return, and that we submit to His will, for our good, and when we do ...that is freedom. the commandments of God is law of liberty. I don't have to wonder what He calls right living because He lived and walked this earth, faced temptations as is common to man, and He overcame the world. We know we will have trouble in this world, because this world hated Him, and this world will hate whomever follows Messiah and keeps the commandments of God.

We know them by their fruit.
I literally laughed when I read that. It is true, but used in the way you did is comical. You judaizers hate anyone that brings truth and/or correction at any level. The more I read of your senseless posts, the more clear my understanding becomes of the depth of your disobedience. Of course you hate Paul. Now I understand a bit more. The reason is that Paul also corrected ignorance and disobedience.
But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed
I have a feeling Peter momentarily raised his hackles when Paul got in his face too. But you know what? Peter got over it. Why? Because he knew he was wrong and Paul simply brought him the truth. But there were some that Paul couldn't get through to. Remember Alexander the coppersmith?
And before you start with the "now he is comparing himself to Paul!", all I have done is bring FACT and truth. All verifiable, all accepted by everyone. Whether it is simple rules of writing, or bible scripture, it has all been proven out.

Yes

But to me it is not a ritual. It is a day of rest. Work hard six days, and take one day to rest our body and souls. That is what it was originally intended for.

AGain. Man have twisted the meaning, the meaning is still a good thing.
i wasn't referring to sinai sabbath which was fulfilled in the person of Christ for all who believe. i was referring to this practice searching the dwelling for bread crumbs. that part they like. the other parts they do not like.

he laid down his life for sinners to repent? is that what you believe?
you're not being "persecuted" because you keep the law (you don't). you're being corrected and admonished. are you able to accept it?

Will you please read this again.

Dear friends, IF OUR HEARTS DO NOT CONDEMN US,


Where is this do you read that we can be condemned? it is not saying we CAN be condemned, It is claiming, IF our HEARTS do not CONDEMN us.

Then he says, if this does not happen. what can we have??


we have confidence before God

Think about it. If our hearts are condemning us, How can we have confidence in God? it won't happen. We will not have faith or confidence in God if we are condemning ourselves.

I see this we will not agree on so to save it going into a argument that no one likes to hear i will agree to disagree with you on this one, but so far i do think me and you have had many disagreements but that is OK i have no problem with that.
we are from different countries and different beliefs and this will never change until the new earth has come. so what must we do we must not fall out over this no more

What we need to do is study the word. And see what God says, and always be willing to listen and be taught. And NEVER assume we are always right.

they claim they know the law. they claim they love the old testament and study it fervently. they love it so much, they're willing to make the new covenant subservient to the old. i've read these posts.

show me the wonderful posts by karrester. i'll decide.
I dont think anybody truly believes anymore i believe my way is correct and you believe your way is correct. so what we must do is talk about this like it is an business associates lunch or like a new client coming to your business and asking you questions , you dont tell that new client that he is a moron if he don't like your bushiness. what you say is how can i help you more that is what you say because if you call a moron he never comes back.
And this is the same for people we have be very careful how we discuss this so that others may learn.
And i should not be having to say this to you because you of an age where you should know this.

have you read these? paul isn't cursing brothers.

Galatians 5
12 I would that they were even cut off which trouble you!

5 Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.
2 Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.
3 For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.
4 Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.

Dear friends, IF OUR HEARTS DO NOT CONDEMN US,


Where is this do you read that we can be condemned? it is not saying we CAN be condemned, It is claiming, IF our HEARTS do not CONDEMN us.

Then he says, if this does not happen. what can we have??


we have confidence before God

Think about it. If our hearts are condemning us, How can we have confidence in God? it won't happen. We will not have faith or confidence in God if we are condemning ourselves.



What we need to do is study the word. And see what God says, and always be willing to listen and be taught. And NEVER assume we are always right.
your not seeing it ,, the laws where written on our hearts for a purpose they where not just put there for no reason they where put there for many reasons and this is how it is.

if you commit a sin and your a child of god your heart should convict you why else would he write his laws on our hearts,?
and you already know from our previous discussions that the lord was fed up with his lambs being crucified over and over again and we also know that the lord had become burdened and weary himself. which made God write his laws on our hearts

what does this mean? He gave the law. it involved the sacrifice of lambs and he continued it until Christ came.

Yes, It should convict us.

NO, It should not condemn us.

A huge difference

Have you read these verses, Phil 112?
Do you suppose Christ was quoting them to the moneychangers when He toosed them out of the temple?
Let me tell you, and anyone that has an ear: There is a difference between unconditional love, and unconditional acceptence. Refusing to accept error is not a statement saying I don't love them. I told karraster I would sit at the same table as her. Silence is implied consent, and I will in no way become a party to the erroneous twisting of scripture seen on this forum. If that is a problem for you, you have several choices, the two most obvious ones being: Have the admins ban me, or put me on ignore.

It is ludicrous for me to take grief from people time and again for bringing scripture to the table. You never tell me that the KJV is wrong, that Paul is a liar, that the Spirit erred in not making some scripture say what you wanted....oh no, only that I have some kind of problem, maybe a little "attitude". Well you know what? I do have an attitude. An attitude of defending the word of God and rejecting heresy. That is what my bible teaches me. That is what God demands from people that want to serve Him.
Then spake the Lord to Paul in the night by a vision, Be not afraid, but speak, and hold not thy peace: [SUP] [/SUP]For I am with thee, and no man shall set on thee to hurt thee: for I have much people in this city

They do not have the ability to differentiate between the two. Blind people are like that, you know. They want to believe in physical circumsion, but they are outraged at the suggestion their hearts be circumsized.

The promise was to the Jew first and then the gentile, and it is the same promise, the same root of Jesse, Messiah Yeshua, who was Himself on earth a rabbi who taught in the synagog. Let that sink in a minute......Jesus was a rabbi. Don't tell anyone.
by the way woman teacher. did the jews receive the promise? if not, then the gentiles didn't either. so why do you have the two houses of israel not yet joined?

save your sarcasm and let's see your commanded meekness and sobriety and shamefaced-ness. oh, that's cultural you say? not for today?

Be careful.

They do not preach physical circumcision, they teach spiritual. So that would be a false accusation against them.

I just do not think they understand what it means.
