Hizikyah....please explain Galatian chapter 4.
Until than I will say, that any who think their works will get them to the kingdom are mistaken.
In the same way any who think they can ignore what the Creator Commands is in error.
Jesus says:
Yahchanan (John) 14:15, "If you love Me, keep My commandments."
Mattithyah 7:23, "But then I will declare to them; I never knew you. Get away from Me, you who practice iniquity."
iniquity is:#0458 anomia {an-om-ee'-ah} from G0459
Greek Word Study (Transliteration-Pronunciation Etymology & Grammar)
1) the condition of without law
1a) because ignorant of it
1b) because of violating it
2) contempt and violation of law, iniquity, wickedness
Paul says:
Acts 24:14, "But I confess this to you, that after the way which they call heresy--so I worship the Father of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the Law and in the Prophets."
Romans 7:25, "Thanks be to Yahweh, I have deliverance through Yahshua Messiah our King! So then, with this same mind, I myself serve the Law of Yahweh, while in the flesh that is yet subject to the law of sin."
Acts 21:24, "Take them, and be purified with them, and pay their expenses so that they may shave their heads. Then everyone will know that those things they were informed about you (forsaking the Law), were lies, and that you, yourself, walk orderly, and keep the Law."
Now people can take these verses:
[SUP]17 [/SUP]Those people are zealous to win you over, but for no good. What they want is to alienate you from us, so that you may have zeal for them.
[SUP]1 [/SUP]Tell me, you who want to be under the law, are you not aware of what the law says? [SUP]22 [/SUP]For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the slave woman and the other by the free woman. [SUP]23 [/SUP]His son by the slave woman was born according to the flesh, but his son by the free woman was born as the result of a divine promise.
and turn them into rejection of Yahweh;s Law, but that is their own error, for it is written:
2 peter 3:15-17, "And count the patience of our Lord as salvation, just as our beloved brother Paul also wrote to you according to the wisdom given him, as he does in all his letters when he speaks in them of these matters. There are some things in them that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures. You therefore, beloved, knowing this beforehand, take care that you are not carried away with the error of lawless people and lose your own stability."
SO yes anyone can isolate a verse, chapter and use it to "justify" anomia, however if one confirms in the mouth of 2 or 3 witnesses, they can no longer twist Scripture so easily.
Final message to mankind:
Revelation 22:12-15, "And behold, I come quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give every man according as his work will be. I am the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End. Blessed are those who keep His Laws, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. For outside are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and worshipers of gods and everyone who professes to love, yet practices falsehood."
