There is no debate. All of God's commandments are not optional for us to follow.

Doesn't that make salvation dependent upon merit?

There is no debate. You cannot obey any of Gods commandments. You cannot obey any commandments with absolute perfection which is the only standard God will accept.

your question itself is legalistic

why do you assume anyone here thinks about breaking commandments?

are we to think that yet another Hebrew Roots/law keeper has joined the forums?

can you be your own High Priest or has God Almighty given us another...with no need for another one EVER?

who is the eternal High Priest who has met ALL the conditions of ALL the commandments....and who ALONE can satisfy the wrath of God?

the High Priest went once a year into the Holy of Holies...and yet feared he would be struck dead and so a rope was around his ankles so those who waited outside could pull him out if they no longer heard the bells on the hem of his priestly robes

WE can now enter into God's presence because of all that Christ has done...note that the temple curtain was torn...

FROM THE TOP TO THE BOTTOM

God tore it!

we know we do not continue in sin...all these commandment threads are structural gamemanship...a smokescreen...to talk to Christians about how they need to keep the commandments and especially the Sabbath

constantly bringing up these law matters is a way to obfuscate the intent which is either to tell us we think we can go on sinning or to tell us that we don't understand the New Testament

did I get it right?

Jesus did not die on the cross to make the God's commandments null and void for us to follow. He gave us the New Testament so we can imitate Christ by participating in his sufferings and by following God's commandments .

When we obey God's commandments, our salvation is solely in the hands of God.

and I did not say that He did!

you have all your answers lined up to feed to us and so you did not actually answer anything I wrote

you simply spewed out the party line

NO>>>God's commandments are absolutely NOT null or void

and millions are going to hell because they are not null and void...read the scriptures...without the blood of Christ shed for our sins, you are under the curse of the law

you people really have a nerve coming here and telling BLOOD BOUGHT Christians that they blood of Christ is not enough

YOU and others like you try to say we think we can sin

I am very close to certain that I am more conscious of not offending JESUS CHRIST than YOU are!!

and you cannot say otherwise

take a look around...this is a Christian forum and by now, I think most of us have had enough of being told by people who just joined 5 minutes ago, that we are stupid, sinful and only YOU can straighten us out

No one in the history of the whole human race has ever been mature until they choose to respond to God's grace by obeying God's commandments with God's help.

I can tell there is a deeper purpose to your question in your op and I don't sense a good one from it. Would you care to explain the purpose of your thread and the question you posed?
Click to expand...

just read my first post, #20 and then all his responses

according to the very definition of pharisee, this individual tells me I am not holy enough for him

that is the purpose of the thread

Hebrew Roots / lawkeeper...they are infiltrating the church and not of God

God gives us the grace to follow his commandments so we can get to heaven. People do not go to hell for being legalistic by following God's commandments with the help of God's grace.

I have never been a gambler..are you so ignorant of the Word you do not know we have ASSURANCE of eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord?

Do YOU call Him Lord and is He Lord of all to YOU? He is my life and my Redeemer and my Savior.

No hypocrite, liar or fake law keeper can change that
