YES. this is what i was waiting to see, this particular thing right here, where someone says well if we are to not follow the law we can do whatever.. my brother.. when we are baptised.. and born of God we have a new nature... in other words, before our nature was to sin, do you see? it was all we know to do, but now all we know to do is be righteous we won't be trying to be righteous we would just be through the holy spirit, so nothing like that won't ever come to mind
Romans 7:7, "...I did not know sin; except through the Law, for I did not know lust, unless the Law had said: Do not covet."

We follow the Greek because that is the language it was written in and conveys the thoughts and intentions of the author and GOD.

It is so revealing of your spirit that you are more inclined to believe something found in an anti-Christian document written centuries after Matthew was written, rather than the original itself.
Which Septuagint do you prefer, the one written BC, or the one written AD? From what I have studied, it was re-written because the Christians adhered to the one written BC. They were approximately 600 to 700 years apart, if I remember right.

Something is not right here. I was always bothered by this verse, until the truth set me free.
What you have set yourself free from are the doctrines of Christ, and the discomfort one experiences when attempting to understand new covenant writings without the spirit.

Says the person who over and over refuses to answer Scriptual queations and replies with personal misrepresentation of others.

What you call rejecting the Messiah is ACTUALLY FOLLOWING WHAT HE SAYS. So sad.

according to Dead Sea scroll scholars the Hebrew is more original than the greek (Matt), but who am I to know? I am no scholar.
I really doubt that Dead Sea scholars say that a copy of Matthew in Hebrew (which doesn't even exist) is more original than the Greek versions. Is that what you were trying to say?

Then why dont you follow the Greek, and obey the command of the Pharisees? Or is that just another Command that one doesnt care about?
I am not under the law of Moses, or the old covenant, as those to whom Christ was speaking were.

So yes, that is a command I don't care about following because it doesn't pertain to me.

Septuagint

The Septuagint (LXX)

The Jews upheld the Septuagint very strongly for the first 300 years as the Word of God, but when the Christians took a hold of it, then the Jews rejected it. Then the Jews started rewriting the Septuagint in the 2nd and 3rd centuries to suit their purposes. They were "Making the word of God of none effect through [their] tradition " (Mark 7:13).

You are the one who admits rejecting the doctrines of Christ as you were taught. Many are doing that nowadays because they don't have the holy spirit, and are unable to understand GOD's writings without it. Yet they like the familiarity of Christian clothes, and so conform biblical doctrines to their needs.

OK its clear now, you don't have the holy spirit to be able to discern what Messiah commands.
Galatians 6:1-2 (KJV)
[SUP]1 [/SUP]Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.
[SUP]2 [/SUP]Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.

The law was your schoolmaster to lead you to Christ, use the law as the schoolmaster to lead Him to Christ.

Galatians 3:24 (KJV)
[SUP]24 [/SUP]Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

Quote one single time I said I wont follow a single word Yahshua spoke.

Yahchanan 6:63, "It is the Spirit that gives life; the flesh is useless. The words that I speak to you, they are Spirit, and they are life everlasting."

Seems to me you clearly admitted you do not obey at least that single Command of Yahshua, so by Scriptual definition you are the one who quenches the Spirit.

Do you follow or reject these words of the Messiah?

Mattithyah 5:19 "Whosoever, therefore, will break one of the least of these Laws, and will teach men so, he will be called the least in the Kingdom of Yahweh; but whosoever will do and teach them, the same will be called great in the Kingdom of Yahweh."

Luke 16:17, "But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one yodh of the Law to fail."

Mattithyah 24:35, "Heaven and earth may pass away, but My words will not pass away."

Truth is people who are in oppisition to Yahweh's Law are in oppisition to Yahweh.

Romans 8:6-8, "For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against; (bitterly opposed to), Yahweh; for it his not subject to the Law of Yahweh, nor indeed can be. So then, those who are of the flesh cannot please Yahweh."

Mattithyah 22:37-40, "Yahshua said to him: You must love Yahweh your Father with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: You shall love your hneighbor as yourself. On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets."

Mattithyah 5:18 "For truly I say to you; Unless heaven and earth passes away, one yodh--the smallest of the letters--will in no way pass from the Law, until all things are perfected."

Luke 16:17, "But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one yodh of the Law to fail."

Mattithyah 24:35, "Heaven and earth may pass away, but My words will not pass away."

Revelation 12:17, "And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and went to make war with those who forsook her seed; her seed being those who keep the Laws of Yahweh, and have the testimony of Yahshua Messiah."

Which seed are you? The seed that follows directions or the seed that fights those who follow directions?

Sometimes it is what a man doesn't say, rather than what he says, that reveals his heart. I have asked you before to declare who do you say should be followed (Moses or Paul) in regards to the commands of GOD regarding physical circumcision, and you refuse to answer. Very revealing.


Seems to me you clearly admitted you do not obey at least that single Command of Yahshua, so by Scriptual definition you are the one who quenches the Spirit.
Satan has entered your heart to say that a child of GOD who loves and believes in Christ has disregarded any commandment of GOD.

Well to answer your original question, I reject the later translations.

.
There are hundreds if not thousands of manuscripts that still have to be examined, this will take years and years to do, just recently a manuscript of Mathew was discovered among all what is there, and it is written in Hebrew.

The trouble with Christians today (I being one ) is that we all profess Jesus as our Savior but do not take Him as our Lord, we have to make Him Lord first for Him to become our Savior. To make Him Lord is to do whatever He commands us to do.

I use it, along with the rest of the Word. I need to be lead to Christ daily, according to areas where I have a lack of faith. It works as my school master but when the faith comes I remember the way to come to Christ, and follow Him with the cross I've been given. I don't have faith to remove many metaphorical mountains, and I continue to be strengthened, and my faith continues to be built up. Day by day. Let these scriptures speak to your heart so that you can know this brother better. Please.

1 Corinthians 13:2 (KJV)
[SUP]2 [/SUP]And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.


2 Corinthians 10:15 (KJV)
[SUP]15 [/SUP]Not boasting of things without our measure, that is, of other men's labours; but having hope, when your faith is increased, that we shall be enlarged by you according to our rule abundantly,

1 Corinthians 13:9-12 (KJV)
[SUP]9 [/SUP]For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
[SUP]10 [/SUP]But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.
[SUP]11 [/SUP]When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
[SUP]12 [/SUP]For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

I will never understand this. How could one have faith in the law? the law keeps showing us our weekness (if we really are honest with ourselves) if anything, the law would discourage us because we fail to live up to it every day (again unless we lie to ourselves)

Again, this is why the law is week.

Faith comes when we sacrifice, and find out it was no sacrifice at all. It comes when God uses uses in a powerful way. it comes when we trust God, and he fulfills his promises, or he proves his word is correct.

it will NEVER come by following the law.

IMO, you consider compromise to be edification of the brethren. The word is a sword to divide right from wrong, and a hammer to bring to nothing those things that oppose truth; and a fire that consumes the chaff, yet purifies the gold. Compromise is nothing more than baking with leaven.

Is not my word like as a fire? saith the LORD; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces? Jeremiah 23:29

A little leaven leavens the whole batch of dough. Galatians 5:9​

If any Words that God have ever spoken are weak, then call it weak. That's your prerogative. I say, and will continue to say that all the Words of God will never pass away, and all He has ever said and will say are very strong and righteous. If you don't want to admit you are weak, and the law shows you that you are, then live with it. You will find out in time, I just hope it isn't too late for you.
lol.. Actually my friend, it is you who will find out in time. All the times you thought you were righteous, but you were not.l All the times God had plans for you. But you were to focused on the law to see he wanted you to focus on something else.

It is not to late for me. I see my sinful ways on a daily basis, all the times I focus on self and not God. i do not need the law to show me this. Nor do I need to focus on the law. My company has a law. A set of guidelines we work by. I do not focus on them, if I did, I would never get anything done. I do what I KNOW needs to be done, and have faith in my leaders. Am I perfect? NO! But then again, we are human, No one will ever be perfect. we do not need the law to show us this, Only the love of God to humble us on a daily basis as his forgiveness and grace shows up every day. As it did in scripture.

This verse contradicts your thoughts. The law is part of the Word of God and this verse does not discriminate His Word. Let the Word of God speak to you about the Word of God.

Hebrews 4:12 (KJV)For the word of God is quick , andpowerful,andsharperthananytwo edgedsword,piercing even to the dividing asunder of soulandspirit,andof the jointsandmarrow,and is a discerner of the thoughtsandintents of the heart.
Thats ok. Keep going back to the old way of doing things. Keep making the same mistakes the jews made.

Are you honest with yourself? do you realize how many times a DAY you sin, whether you know it is sin or not? If your so focused on the parts of the law. You will never get this. This is why the law can not make any perfect or righteous.
