Yea and you guys cant not even explain any part of it...nor do you keep the law, nor can you explain what part of the law is valid?

1Ti 1:6 From which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling;
7 Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm.

Please learn the difference between the Mosaic laws, and that of God's moral laws.

Because once again this is talking about being justified by the mosaic law, it is not talking about God's moral laws written in our hearts.
the law of Moses! The ten commandments! and all that's written in the book of the law.


Ro 7:6 But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.
7 ¶ What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.

The law is not in parts...its all the same...every jot and tittle!


2Co 3:7 But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away:
8 How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious?
9 For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory.
10 For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, by reason of the glory that excelleth.
11 For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which remaineth is glorious.

Have you? do you pluck out your eye?

That part is not to be taken literally, as it is referring to eliminating sin from your life.
If you look upon a woman and start lusting in your heart, you need to deal with that sin and eliminate it from your life letting the Holy Spirit help you with this.

If you don't deal with your sins, and work on eliminating them with the Holy Spirit to help you do this, then you will not be headed for eternal life but eternal punishment instead.

Look Hiz at no time have I in anyway rejected any part of Gods Word...in fact im the one who upholds all its standards and truths. Its you and those like you who claim part of the law is valid and part it not...and part of what the Lord said is absolute and part is not....do you pluck your eye out before you look to lust? or cut your hand off? Don't you keep His Words?
Will you Quote where I said part of the Law is valid?

What I said was not every Law is for every person, some Laws are for women, some are for men, some are for the Priesthood, which is now run by Yahshua.

So you sadi you accept all Scripture...

OK, are these valid? Or is it a justified by works lie? or something else? (I really want to key in on that "and" in Rev 12:17.)

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."

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."

"Laws" is word #1785 entolé
Definition: an ordinance, injunction, command, law.

No more avoiding the issue...do you pluck your eye out ...like Jesus Commanded? If not why is that not a valid Commandment?

That is where your mistake is still at then, not knowing the difference.

Hebrews 10:16
This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;

He does not write His laws on our heart just to continue to disobey them. He does that so that we do not look at them as a set of written ordinances or laws. We are now to walk in His commandments as an everyday way of life, and even Paul realized this by stating we do not void the law we establish it.

That's the Spirit not the "letter" not the written code of Moses...ten commandments... do you keep the commandment of Christ to pluck out your eye? If not why? And don't worry about others obedience but explain yours!

Ro 7:6 But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.

No I have not plucked my eye out, but I would rather pluck both out than not enter the kingdom of Yah.

Why do you seek to use people's personal walk, errors, sins, to discredit Scripture.

John Doe's walk has nothing to do with the truth of Scripture.

And were you not the one who said people distract from Scripture by making it personal?

Why don't you keep his commandment and teach it to others? I don't care about your opinion if you don't obey Gods Word.

What Law are you delivered from?

The Law of sin and death?

or the Law of Yahweh?

Youe misuse of Scripture is so henious because you repeatedly use the same verse when the next verse or later in that Chapter Paul explain more clearly what he means.

DO you not understand how to read Paul? His writing are complx and must be cross referenced off of everything he wrote, or you will miss his meaning:

The law of sin and death is not, "do not steal" "do not kill" "love your neighbor" "do not take the Name of YHWH in vain", the law of sin and death is what you see on a television daily...

Ok, so Romans 7:

7 What? Can anyone therefore say that the Law is sin? No! By no means! But to the contrary, I did not know sin; transgression of the Law, except through the Law, for I did not know lust, unless the Law had said: Do not covet.

12 Therefore the Law is holy, and the commandments are holy, and just, and righteous.

Obedience to Leviticus 19:18, "Do not seek revenge nor bear a grudge against one of your own people; but you shall love your neighbor as yourself. I am Yahweh." is holy.

13 Did that which is righteous, then, become death to me? By no means!But in order that sin might be recognized as sin, it produced death in me through that which was righteous, so that through the commandments, sin might become utterly sinful.

"sin might become utterly sinful" breaking "do not steal" is sin and death

14 For we know that the Law is spiritual; but I was carnal, sold into the power of sin.

the Law is spiritual;
Do not hold back the wages of a hired man overnight. Do not curse the deaf or put a stumblingblock in front of the blind; but reverence your Father. I am Yahweh. Do not pervert judgment: You shall not show partiality to the poor, nor honor to the person of the great.

Breaking "You shall not show partiality to the poor, nor honor to the person of the great." is carnal


16 And if I did what I did not want to do, I agreed that the Law is righteous.

17 As it was, it was no longer I myself who did it, but it was sin living in me.

22 For I delight in the Law of Yahweh according to the inward man;

23 But I saw another law at work in the members of my body, waging war against the Law in my mind, and bringing me into captivity of the law of sin, which is in my members.

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.

"I have deliverance"

deliverance from "do not steal" or deliverance from breaking "do not steal"

Romans 8:

2 Because through Yahshua Messiah, the Law of the Spirit has set me free from the law of sin and death.

(Romans 7:14 For we know that the Law is spiritual; but I was carnal, sold into the power of sin.)


3 For what the Law was powerless to do, in that men sought to defeat; overthrow, fit, Yahweh did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful man, to bear witness against sin. And so He condemned the sins of all mankind."

Is sin "do not steal?"

or is sin breaking "do not steal?"

(Romans 7:14 For we know that the Law is spiritual)

Romans 8:5-8, "For those who live according to the flesh, set their minds on the things of the flesh; but those who live according to the Spirit, set their minds on the things of the Spirit. 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."

What is the flesh opposed to?

Following Yahweh's Law?

Rejecting Yahweh's Law?

carnal mind is enmity against for it his not subject to the Law of Yahweh


2 Kepha 3:15-16, "...Shaul, in accordance with the wisdom given to him, has written to you, As also in all his letters, speaking in them about these things, in which are some things hard to be understood, which those who are unlearned and unstable twist, as they also do the other Scriptures, to their own destruction."

Psalm 19:7-10, "The Laws of Yahweh are perfect, converting the whole person. The testimony of Yahweh is sure, making the simple ones wise. The statutes of Yahweh are right, rejoicing the heart; mind. The commandments of Yahweh are pure, bringing understanding to the eyes. The reverence of Yahweh is clean, enduring forever. The judgments of Yahweh are true and altogether righteous. They are more to be desired than gold, yes, than even much fine gold. They are sweeter than honey and the honeycomb."

Ready?

It would be better for your to gouge your own eye out, if it was going to keep you from entering the kingdom.

I stand by that 100% ....more than 100 if I could.

LOL away from Scripture and those questions I asked and back to focus on me....

OK, are these valid? Or is it a justified by works lie? or something else? (I really want to key in on that "and" in Rev 12:17.)

Read it again and im sure you can figure out where "thou shalt not covet" come from in the law?

And why dot you keep the Lords commandment to pluck out your eye?


Ro 7:6 But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.
7 ¶ What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.

Seems.... All you want to talk about is me,,,, meme,,,,,,,,mememememe, meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!

why not focus on Scripture?

But I will play your distraction game...

So am I in a state currently that I will not enter? Thus being beneficial to pluck out my eye? Because if I am not in a state that I will not enter, there would be no need for me to pluck my eye out...
