Still boasting about your own goodness and obedience.

How about you spend a day or two and boast in the Lord.

I don't know you?

Oh yes, I do.

God flooded the world except eight that he chose. Did those eight deserve God's wrath, you bet they did.

God restrained Himself from destroying both Abraham and Moses. Yet, your different. I don't think so.

I think you can be saved by grace and no other way.
you are dishonest, you know nothing about my walk, trial, tribulaions, lessons, guidance, etc.

Still boasting about your own goodness and obedience
All need mercy, and all are under trial, yet all of or faith and actions are not the same, you have no clue about my past, current and future faith and works.

I dont have to accept you view.

My mind and heart is to seek Yah, His truth and His path.

1 Samuel 12:24, “Only fear יהוה, and you shall serve Him in truth with all your heart, for consider what marvels He has done for you.”

1 John 4:19, “We love Him because He first loved us.”

1 John 5:2-3, "By this we know that we love the children of Yah, when we love Yah and guard His commands. For this is the love for Yah, that we guard His commands, and His commands are not heavy."

Exodus 20:6, “But showing love to thousands who love Me by keeping My Laws.”

John/Yahanan 14:15, “If you love Me, keep My commandments.”

Revelation 14:12-13, "Here is the endurance of the set-apart ones, here are those guarding the commands of Elohim and the belief of יהושע. And I heard a voice out of the heaven saying to me, “Write, ‘Blessed are the dead who die in the Master from now on.’ ” “Yes,” says the Spirit, “in order that they rest from their labours, and their works follow with them.”

I take all these into serious consideration in my walk. Accepting YHWH is day one, some of us are on yer 30 or 40 and seek to do His will. The fact that people would speak against a mature walk is odd to say the least.
where is the boast?

Here?

The reason I do not include your entire post is because the reply would be volumes. Big posts are to be avoided at all times.

Matthew 12:31-32
“Therefore I say to you, every sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven people, but blasphemy against the Spirit shall not be forgiven. And whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the age to come.

Does it say every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven?

The singular unforgiven sin is blasphemy of the Holy Spirit!
you are doing the bait and switch, the question you asked me was about "sins unto death"

That is singular, so what is the sin leading to death?
So I could say the same to you, for not posting more verses but that is nitpicking....

The sins unto death are the ones that have a death penalty, rejecting YHWH, worshipping anything but YHWH, murder, adultery, doing pagan rituals, etc. Some sins have a lesser penalty, such as stealing, one would have to either repay the debt or work it off. It is safe to say all humans have committed sin unto death and need mercy, however once one is in the Spirit of YHWH, they will not be a slave to sin.

No matter if I am the best person or the worst person, these passages remain true:

John 14:16-17, “And I shall ask the Father, and He shall give you another Helper, to stay with you forever the Spirit of the Truth, whom the world is unable to receive, because it does not see Him or know Him. But you know Him, for He stays with you and shall be in you.”

Acts 5:32 “And we are His witnesses to these matters, and so also is the Set-apart Spirit whom the Might One has given to those who obey Him.”

1 John 3:24, “And the one guarding His commands stays in Him, and He in him. And by this we know that He stays in us, by the Spirit which He gave us.”
The question was not what is the unforgivable sin.

Two different things.

you are being very dishonest, I posted it multiple times, you are ignoring "a stranger shall sojourn with thee, and will keep the Passover to יהוה, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and keep it; and he shall be as one that is born in the land"

Also I neer said it was given to another nation, I said gentiles could enter in and be as a native born, IF they performed the Passover, and they would have the same Law is native born.

Easy to "discredit" me when you omit parts of what I say and claim I said things I did not.





COrrect they were strangers, if they lived in another land that was pagan, and that was the only accepted religion, but once they

Exodus 12:47-49, “All the congregation of Israel shall keep it. And when a stranger shall sojourn with thee, and will keep the Passover to יהוה, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and keep it; and he shall be as one that is born in the land: for no uncircumcised person shall eat thereof. One law shall be to him that is nativeborn, and unto the stranger that sojourns among you.”

they were as a native born....
You keep skewing the text.

COrrect they were strangers, if they lived in another land that was pagan
The text does not say that.

Ephesians 2:12
Remember that you were at that time separate from Christ, excluded from the people of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of the promise, having no hope and without God in the world.

Lot's of people under the law struggle with what Paul wrote.

If you can accept that Gentiles worldwide were without the law and the covenants. Then you understand the scripture.

Not even Israel bothered to obey the law, let alone some Gentile sojourning with them.

SpeakTruth101 said:
Please dont edit out my reply, ignore what I said then "discredit" me... You are adding to what I said, when you alter my statement it is dishonest discussion. I never said "sacrificial laws to cover sin" I assume you mean the blood of animals. I mentioned Yahshua's priesthood.However I will prove my view, as if I alrready didn;t in the verses I posted and you ignored, not even mentioning them...

First, Gentiles were ALWAYS allowed to join to YHWH and when they did they were under the same Law as a native born Hebrew born in Israel.

Numbers 15:15-16, “One law is for you of the assembly and for the stranger who sojourns with you – a law forever throughout your generations. As you are, so is the stranger before יהוה. One Torah and one right-ruling is for you and for the stranger who sojourns with you.”

The "stranger" here is the non-Hebrew, the Gentile. Yet we see well before Yahshua was born, Gentiles being as a native born.

Exodus 12:47-49, “All the congregation of Israel shall keep it. And when a stranger shall sojourn with thee, and will keep the Passover to יהוה, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and keep it; and he shall be as one that is born in the land: for no uncircumcised person shall eat thereof. One law shall be to him that is nativeborn, and unto the stranger that sojourns among you.”

"he shall be as one that is born in the land" It does not say 2nd class, it says the same. However the Pharisees did make their own laws, making those grafted in as 2nd class, Pharisee laws are falsehood and not true Law of YHWH.

Exodus 12:37-40, “And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand on foot that were men, beside children. 38, And a *mixed multitude went up also with them; and flocks, and herds, even very much cattle. 39, And they baked unleavened cakes of the dough which they brought forth out of Egypt, for it was not leavened; because they were thrust out of Egypt, and could not tarry, neither had they prepared for themselves any victual. 40, Now the sojourning of the children of Israel, who dwelt in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years.”

The words “*mixed multitude” are words: #H6154 - עֶרֶב עֵרֶב - ‛êreb ‛ereb, ay'-reb, eh'-reb, The second form used in 1 Kings 10:15 with the article prefixed); from H6148; the web (or transverse threads of cloth); also a mixture, (or mongrel race):—Arabia, mingled people, mixed (multitude)

So here we see even during the Exodus Gentiles were as a native

Even Paul agrees:
Galatians 3:28-29, "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's offspring, heirs according to promise."

And it has been this way since the beginning, as I showed in Exodus and Numbers.

Galatians 3:28-29, "...Abraham's offspring, heirs according to promise."

Psalm 105:6-9, "O seed of Abraham His servant, You children of Yaaqob, His chosen ones! He is YHWH our Father! His judgments are in all the earth. He has remembered His covenant forever, the Law He commanded for a thousand generations; Which He made; ratified, established, with Abraham, and vowed by His oath to Isaac. He confirmed it; let it stand, to Yaaqob for a Law, and to Israyl for an everlasting covenant."

I have more, but I don't want to make a single post too long, so I ask that you actually discuss what I posted rather than idsmiss it without even breaking it down...

Hebrews 10:16, "This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says YHWH: I will put My Law into their hearts, and in their minds I will write them.”

This is the Covenant of Yahshua

Revelation 14:12-13, “Here is the endurance of the set-apart ones, here are those guarding the Commands of יהוה and the Belief of יהושע. And I heard a voice out of the heaven saying to me, Write, Blessed are the dead who die in the Master from now on. Yes, says the Spirit, in order that they rest from their labors, and their works follow with them.”


All I see here is just reams and reams of Scripture ---not one says the Gentiles were ever under God's laws ---

So your



But again



And this you say here is a lie ----

Please dont edit out my reply, ignore what I said then "discredit" me... You are adding to what I said, when you alter my statement it is dishonest discussion.

Get this ------I never quoted any of your post to edit or added anything to your words -----this is my post and my words ----

This post here is my post --my words -----and what I said to you ----I quoted nothing from your post ----so now you owe me an apology for saying I edited your post and tried to discredit you ---I did no such thing

@SpeakTruth101 -----

I think you need to understand that the Law of Moses was directed at the Jewish nation only ----the Gentiles were never under the law -----so if your born a Jew ---and if you have not received Jesus as your Lord and Saviour they are still under the 613 laws that God put in place for them --which they cannot keep --so they remain -under the Ministry of Death --

There is no Faith needed in Keeping the 10 Commandments -----so it matters not if you try and keep them your not in the Right faith ----and you cannot keep them because if you even think in your mind about murder or adultery or lying you have just broke all 613 laws ----Jesus says if you think about lying with a married women then you have committed the sin ------

The Gentiles were Grafted into the Salvation program to try to knock sense into the Jewish nation ----they are not obligated to keep the Mosaic Laws ----as they were never meant for them ------the Gentiles come under the 3 New Laws -----so if any Jew has received Jesus in their heart ------then these 3 laws apply to them -----

The Love of Love -----is written on the heart ---love God with all your heart --soul ---mind and strength

The law of Faith ----No one can please God with His Faith -----

Romans 3:27
Boasting Excluded
27 Where, then, is boasting? It is excluded. By what kind of law?[a] By one of works? No, on the contrary, by a law[b] of faith

The Law of Liberty ----

James 1:25

Amplified Bible

25 But he who looks carefully into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and faithfully abides by it, not having become a [careless] listener who forgets but [a]an active doer [who obeys], he will be blessed and favored by God in what he does [in his life of obedience]

I say
God gave the 10 Commandments and they are perfect ---but even when we are born Again we still reside in the Flesh which is still weak ----We do have a resource to call on when we feel that weakness to fall into sin which is Grace but how many people use that resource in their weakness is the Question ----Satan is still on the loose and we born again Christians are still bombarded with Satan's attacks ---and anyone who just thinks they can keep the 10 Commandments because they are written on our hearts are deceiving themselves -----

Many of God's Chosen will Parrish in Hell because they have rejected Jesus not because they tried to keep the God's Laws ----which they can't keep anyway -----but God has a plan to save the 12 tribes of Israel in the last days so many Jews will be saved in the end ------

Also your taking one line of Scripture and trying to make it fit what you believe and you need to know the context from which your piece of scripture is taken ----the Old Testament was for the Jewish nation only ----and that has to be kept in mind ------all people were included only after Jesus died and the Holy Spirit was introduced ----

Different laws applied under the New Covenant ----

The law of Love will make you want to obey all God commands but Satan has other ideas and is very crafty to get a Carnal Christian to fall in their attempt to keep what God commands ---and Jesus knows how hard it is for us to stay on the straight road ------Maturing in your faith walk with Christ is the way to keep from falling into sin ----
So i post Scripture proving my claim, and your reply is

All I see here is just reams and reams of Scripture ---not one says the Gentiles were ever under God's laws ---
-
when I say edit, you cut parts of my post out and ignore what I said then continue to claim im wrong. The quotes collapse so they dont take up much room, there is no need to do that.

SO what about Exodus 12:48-49, Number 15:15-16, and Isa 56:1-7?

If the Law was never for Gentiles why does it say in those passages it is?

Exodus 12:48-49, "And when a stranger lives among you and wants to sacrifice the Passover to YHWH, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near, and sacrifice it; and he shall be as a native of the land. But no uncircumcised person shall eat of it. One Law shall be for the nativeborn and for the stranger who dwells among you."

Is that Gentile to then be as a native born? I say yes:

A Gentile can be circumcised of their own free will and then celebrate the Passover, yes.

That is what I have been saying, with the addition that once they do so they are to follow the exact same law as a native born...

yet everyone that disagrees with me say it was NEVER that way, when it is clearly written it was that way...

Not trying to argue, but this is what I have been saying for a while now...

No, bro. Our own rightousness under the law is filthy rags. Your SANCTIFIED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT walk with God is anything but.
Well said

Jeremiah 50:6-7, “My people have been wandering sheep. Their shepherds have led them astray, turning them away on the mountains. They have gone from mountain to hill, they have forgotten their resting place.”

Isaiah/Yeshayahu 53: 4, “Truly, He has borne our sicknesses and carried our pains. Yet we reckoned Him smitten·, stricken by the Mighty One, and afflicted."5, "But He was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our crookedness. The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed."6, "We all, like sheep, went astray, each one of us has turned to his own way. And יהוה has laid on Him the crookedness of us all.”

So after continually accusing me, showing zero evidence of accusations im still proud....

I think you have some personal issues that have nothing to do with me, and if you can not quote where I said the things you claim and will not repent of false accusation then you show your spirit.

All men including myslef will stand before YHWH

Psalms 62:9-12, “Sons of Aḏam are but a breath, Sons of men are a lie; If weighed in the scales, They are altogether lighter than breath. Do not trust in oppression. And do not become vain in robbery; If riches increase, Do not set your heart on them. The Mighty One has spoken once, Twice I have heard this: That strength belongs to Yah. And loving-commitment is Yours, O יהוה; For You reward each one according to his work.”

Psalms 96:8-13,8 Ascribe to יהוה the esteem of His Name; Bring an offering, and come into His courts."9 Bow yourselves to יהוה, In the splendour of set-apartness! Tremble before Him, all the earth."10 Say among nations, “יהוה shall reign. The world also is established, immovable. He judges the peoples in straightness.”"11 Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; Let the sea roar, and all that fills it;"12 Let the field exult, and all that is in it. Let all the trees of the forest then shout for joy,"13 At the presence of יהוה. For He shall come, For He shall come to judge the earth. He judges the world in righteousness, and the peoples with His truth.”

Psalms 98:4-9,4 Raise a shout to יהוה, all the earth; Break forth in song, rejoice, and sing praises."5 Sing to יהוה with the lyre, With the lyre and the voice of a song,"6 With trumpets and a voice of a shophar; Raise a shout before יהוה, the Sovereign."7 Let the sea roar, and all that fills it, The world and those who dwell in it."8 Let the rivers clap their hands, Let the mountains sing together for joy before יהוה,"9 For He shall come to judge the earth. He judges the world in righteousness, And the people in straightness."

Revelation 19:11-16,11 And I saw the heaven opened, and there was a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Trustworthy and True, and in righteousness He judges and fights.a Footnote: aSee Act 10:42."12 And His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns, having a Name that had been written, which no one had perceived except Himself – b Footnote: bSee Rev 2:17."13 and having been dressed in a robe dipped in blood – and His Name is called: The Word of יהוה.c Footnote: cJoh 1:1 and Joh 1:14."14 And the armies in the heaven, dressed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses."15 And out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should smite the nations. And He shall shepherd them with a rod of iron. Psa 2:9 And He treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Ěl Shaddai."16 And on His robe and on His thighd He has a name written: SOVEREIGN OF SOVEREIGNS AND MASTER OF MASTERS. Footnote: d“thigh”, but possibly flag. See Thigh in the Explanatory Notes."

John 5:28-30, “Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the tombs shall hear His voice, and shall come forth – those who have done* righteousness, to the resurrection of life, and those who have practiced* evil matters, to a resurrection of judgment. Of Myself I am unable to do any matter. As I hear, I judge, and My judgment is righteous, because I do not seek My own desire, but the desire of the Father who sent Me.”

No, bro. Our own rightousness under the law is filthy rags. Your SANCTIFIED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT walk with God is anything but.
That's not the way I see myself.

I understand God's grace and His inner conviction of my status as a Christian.

But the war between my flesh and the Spirit within. and loving others, has me on my knees.
