satan will go to God and say did you see what so and so did, what are you going to do about that? Jesus will go before the Father as our mediator and say Father forgive them, they don't know what they are doing.
Hello Brother_Don

In the old testament,satan could do that(accuse the brethren),but now in the new testament;satan was put to shame.The weapon he used to be able to use against us (the law) he can no longer use,

there is now no condemnation to them in CHRIST JESUS.

Jesus will go before the Father as our mediator and say Father forgive them, they don't know what they are doing.
I agree


Now if satin tries to accuse us,he would have to point at jesus.
we are weak,but he is strong.

grace provided by JESUS and we have access to this grace through faith.

The Commandments of Jesus Christ is God's free gift of salvation.


God has given them to mankind as a free gift.
Jesus paid for them with His life.
All you have to do is take them and use them.
Or take them and do nothing with them.
Or not even concern yourself with them at all.


To use them is to regard them and obey them.
To do nothing with them is to disregard them
and do nothing with them.


They are there for anyone who wants them.


They are free. You did not have to do anything get them.


Salvation, is something you do for yourself.
You do not obey the commandments of Jesus for God.
You obey the commandments of Jesus for yourself.


Jesus had to obey the commandments of God His Father.


If He had not, He would have sinned and condemned himself.


Jesus saved Himself by obeying the commandments of God His Father.


Obedience is not a prerequisite to salvation.


IT IS SALVATION.


Obedience will save you from your sins.


If you tell your child not to cross the street with out you.


If your child obeys.


It will save them from ever getting run over.


Therefore by their obedience they saved themselves.

And the scripture says what about the accuser or our brethren?

Rev 12:9 So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
Rev 12:10 Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, "Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down.
Rev 12:11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.
Rev 12:12 Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and you who dwell in them! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time."

He is cast out of heaven when? When he has a short time. How do we know when this is?

Rev 12:13 Now when the dragon saw that he had been cast to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male Child.
Rev 12:14 But the woman was given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness to her place, where she is nourished for a time and times and half a time, from the presence of the serpent.
Rev 12:15 So the serpent spewed water out of his mouth like a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away by the flood.

Because this will begin the G.T. and the church will have to flee to the Place of Safety. This event has not occurred yet, it occurs just prior to the 3-1/2 years of the G.T.

Where is this in the bible ?
Right Here

Matthew, Chapter 7
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.
22:Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23:And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

You want to talk about law?

Al right.


Romans, Chapter 8, 2:For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ
Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.


The laws of the Spirit of Life are
the commandments of Jesus Christ.


The very first sign that something is not right with the spirit of a
person who is professing to be a follower of Jesus, is the resistance or
refusal to the obedience to the commandments of Jesus Christ.


The very next sign that something is not right
with the spirit of a person who is professing to be a follower
of Jesus, is when they willfully disobey
a commandment of Jesus Christ.

To me, Jesus was very clear about 'commandments' (or 'important advices' as translated on my Arabic New Testament since True Love cannot be commanded I guess
)

(Matthew 22:40)
"On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets."

​Jesus obeyed all the commandments that God gave to Him, to give to us.

By obeying all these commandments, Jesus saved Himself, from sin.


By obeying all these commandments He committed no sin. For there is no sin in the Commandments of Jesus Christ. When you are in the commandments of Jesus Christ, you are in the Light. You will have the Light of Life.



Jesus did not give us the commandments to look at them and just read them in a book.
He gave them to you so you too could save yourself from sin. By living in them just as He did.

To which you do not obey True or false?

Since I love and trust to no limit my Father in heaven (hence Jesus as well for being one with the Father), I used just living the unconditional love towards all others, friends and enemies.

A true son follows automatically the way of his good loving father (only slaves should 'obey' their masters) and Jesus was very clear showing God's way (Matthew 5:45):

"That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust."

Thank you for asking

The Lord told me that you will not and cannot,
walk your talk.

Are you willing to be put to the test with me,
and prove you can walk your talk? Yes or no?

In fact, God told me that none of you that have posted
on this thread except I can walk their talk.

If you want to prove otherwise, sign up here.

As you wish, Stephen.


It seems to me, you think that Jesus also didn't mean seriously:
"Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect."

After all, you are free always to believe that all men live (or have no choice but to live) as you do.

If any of us could have obeyed the commandments of God then the Lord Jesus wouldn't have had to come to save us.

Unfortunately, we don't have the equipment to obey any commandments. We have to be given the equipment to obey commandments. This happens by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

It is not our work, or obedience that causes us to be saved. It is our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ who gives us Righteousness and Peace, that causes us to be saved.

Galatians 2:21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.

What is the grace of God? Giving us what we don't deserve. ie, salvation, righteousness, faith, obedience, repentance, spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ and what He does for us and in us.


Galatians 4:23-31
[SUP]23 [/SUP]But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise.
[SUP]24 [/SUP]Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar.
[SUP]25 [/SUP]For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.
[SUP]26 [/SUP]But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.
[SUP]27 [/SUP]For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: for the desolate hath many more children than she which hath an husband.
[SUP]28 [/SUP]Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.
[SUP]29 [/SUP]But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now.
[SUP]30 [/SUP]Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman.
[SUP]31 [/SUP]So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free.

Ephesians 2:8-9

[SUP]8 [/SUP]For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
[SUP]9 [/SUP]Not of works, lest any man should boast.
