The ONLY thing I need to be saved, is AND I hereby do right now, is confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. From this point on, never again insinuate I am not saved. Or you make yourself the Judge of one of Gods servants.

I am trying to tell you, you telling me not to keep the commandments because I can't is the same TO ME, as telling me you don't. I am not trying to slander you in any way. That is NOT my intent 100%..
Here is a verse from the WORD OF GOD under the New Covenant
John 14:21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
And here is what I am to do with that Word
James 1:22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
James 1:23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:
James 1:24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.
James 1:25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.
When I break a law, I GO TO CHRIST, and the work He did while living in the flesh, FREES ME from having TO BE perfect. I can walk in the love of God with no fear of stumbling WHICH ALLOWS ME TO give it my ALL without fear of failure or reprisal. I am free to become as holy as I can by DOING IT HIS WAY, not my own. HIS way is at war with my flesh and He knows it. He knows I will fall, so like a spotter to a gymnast, He is there to catch me and lift me back up and set me on the path.
When your dad was raising you, did he give you rules to keep you safe and make you grow up to become a good person? God I hope so. Did you learn to do those things to keep him happy? Do you realize 20 years later, He was RIGHT. I didn't understand then why it was so important but I sure do now. God is our Father, wanting only the best for us, His little children. Do it His way and that day will come when you say, I got it, thank God I kept trying.
Have you ever thought about what a "disciple" was? Disciplined IN THE WAYS OF GOD. Not doing things from MY heart but from the knowledge He provides. I don't know. He says do this this way, I do it that way. There are too many passages about men following the ways of their own hearts and it always seem to be a really bad thing.

Gotta love his "mind-set."
You can't follow the law! There is "no friggin' WAY", you can even attempt in "following the law!"
"So don't bother!"
"Jesus got MY victory!"
If I remember correctly, when God "assured" Israel a "victory in battle?"
Didn't they still have to "bear arms and FIGHT?"
Far as I know?
Ain't NO SUCH WORD in "God's Guide to Spiritual Warfare", as "Conscientious Objector!"
There ARE "A": "Protectors of the Faith."
There are even "B": "Defenders of the Faith."
Yet, when either "A", or "B", meet with "C?"
"Contenders FOR the Faith?"
"Jesus got MY victory!"
Hebrews 6 (NIV)
Therefore let us move BEYOND the "elementary teachings about Christ" And Be TAKEN FORWARD TO MATURITY, not laying again the foundation of repentance from acts that lead to death,and of faith in God,....
One of the "items" required for one to even have the ability TO move forward to Maturity?
"Lean NOT on YOUR own understanding!"
"Don't let ANY MAN "deceive" you!
Don't "be WISE in one's OWN conceit/s!" thus, deceiving yourself!
OH! And "1 more thing?"

But if, and that's a big if, they would have followed those laws with LOVE, and would have taken them not so much so 'literally" and took them into their heart to find the love of God, they would have found Christ within them. But they didn't. They looked at the letter, or the words and didn't find the meaning behind them or the love they would have produced if they had. It is like taking the New Covenant and just seeing the WORDS, and their "technical, correctly tensed verbs etc." and not allowing the Forgiving Spirit to be found in them of them which is to walk easily, comfortable, peacefully, lovingly, fearlessly, IN THE WAYS OF GOD, not in OUR OWN imaginations of what WE THINK He wants, or what we want to do. God tells us we are sinners. I guess He knows we are breaking the law. One solution is to say "there is no law I am to follow" except that can't be because that would make you sinless and that would make Gods Word a lie. So there has to be law to follow to be a sinner. So to be a sinner I have to TRY, so that I can sin, so I can repent, so I can be forgiven, so that ALL THE WORK CHRIST DID was not for naught, so I can become disciplined IN HIS WAYS, not my own. There is nothing I am do think or do without God. I can have not a single thought or way better than Gods.
Matthew 15:18 But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man.
Matthew 15:19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:
Matthew 15:20 These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man.
We can ONLY TRUST in the Word of God. Not our own heart.
Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
Romans 1:17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
And from where is faith? our heart? Faith, hearing the Word of God. God does not leave us to our own devices in anyway except to love and honor Him. We are in the world of the prince of the power of the air whos time is coming. Who is a great deceiver and our only protection from him is the Word of God. Michael didn't even contend with the devil but only rebuked him. There is a lot said in that statement there.
Romans 1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness
Romans 1:19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
Romans 1:20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
Romans 1:21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

It isn't a bad thing, if by following their own hearts, they are trying to "make void the Word of God!"
This is what happens when "Totally Relying", on "Precepts of Men", to "tell" you how to interpret the Bible!
Matthew 24
23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.
24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

Don't have to misrepresent what you say!
You do such a fine job of "scurrying" to cover up with love, when "light" is shown on what you say, that yer in the hopes that no one else can "see" just how short the bed is upon you lay, and how narrow the covering of love is with which you try to envelop yourself in.(Isaiah 28:20)
And fire back with "you're misrepresenting what I'm saying!"
Is not my fault your "carnal nature" refuses to understand what people like me are saying.
But, time after time you "listen" and believe, what IT'S telling you.
Tis ONE thing, to be a "stony ground" believer. I have NO problem with that. UNTIL?......
Tis QUITE ANOTHER, to "solicit" being a "stony grounded fascist cult!" NOW? We have "problems!"
IOW? "Yer FREE to speak yer mind!"
"As long as you AGREE with ME/US!"
Thank God, for His "elect!"

“You have said harsh things against me,” says the Lord. “Yet you ask, ‘What have we said against you?’ “You have said, ‘It is futile to serve God. What did we gain by carrying out his requirements and going about like mourners before the Lord Almighty? But now we call the arrogant blessed. Certainly the evildoers prosper, and even those who challenge God escape.’” Then those who feared the Lord talked with each other, and the Lord listened and heard. A scroll of remembrance was written in his presence concerning those who feared the Lord and honored his name. “They will be mine,” says the Lord Almighty, “in the day when I make up my treasured possession. I will spare them, just as in compassion a man spares his son who serves him. And you will again see the distinction between the righteous and the wicked, between those who serve God and those who do not.
For what the law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the sinful nature, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful man to be a sin offering. And so he condemned sin in sinful man, in order that the righteous requirements of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the sinful nature but according to the Spirit. Those who live according to the sinful nature have their minds set on what that nature desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. The mind of sinful man is death, but the mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace; the sinful mind is hostile to God. It does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so. Romans 8:1-17
Brothers, do not slander one another. Anyone who speaks against his brother or judges him speaks against the law and judges it. When you judge the law, you are not keeping it, but sitting in judgment on it. There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the one who is able to save and destroy. But you—who are you to judge your neighbor? James 4:11-12
ÀLet no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for he who loves his fellowmÀan has fulfilled the law. The commandments, “Do not commit adultery,” “Do not murder,” “Do not steal,” “Do not covet,” and whatever other commandment there may be, are summed up in this one rule: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” Love does no harm to its neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law. And do this, understanding the present time. The hour has come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. The night is nearly over; the day is almost here. So let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light. Let us behave decently, as in the daytime, not in orgies and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and debauchery, not in dissension and jealousy. Rather, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the sinful nature. Romans 13:8-14
God is LOVE. 1 John 4:8-16
Without LOVE you are nothing. 1 Corinthians 13:1-13
And this is love: that we walk in obedience to his commands. As you have heard from the beginning, his command is that you walk in love. 2 John 1:6
If God is LOVE that dwells in our hearts, (John 14:20-24) is He not the one Lawgiver and Judge?
To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. Colossians 1:27
Standard?
He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God. Micah 6:8
To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps. 1 Peter 2:21
Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

1st thing that would help you is to understand what I have been saying, this post just proves you are still out in left field as to understanding what i is I was trying to show my sister.
Also, since non of you hav any grasp of my argument, You keep making the same old slanderous mistakes.
SINCE I am NOT speaking AGAINST obedience, Or saying we are not to walk in obedience
this is just one more slanderous post coming from people who are too proud to sit for on second and even TRY to understand what others are saying
Do I need to send you to be with Naylor bear?
or are you willing to actually sit and discuss what it is I am saying?

What?
prove where I have standard people put your money where your moth is
i am sick of being standard by these people, who can nt take just one minute to sit and understand what the other is saying.
I do not know who you are. If you are nw or another person who was here before. But this has been going on for along time.
Thjey can nt sit and have a conversation. They say things which are not true, then post all these passages of scripture as if it proves their point, when it does not.
If your heading the wrong way in a conversation. All the scripture in the world will not help you. Because your root argument is based on a false presumption
so. Either prove where I have standard anyone, or misrepresented anyone. Or back off..
