Do you know that all these things you are saying is not of grace but of law? Grace is the power of Holy Spirit to make us a new generation of Spiritual beings that laws have no power over. The law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus is our ruling. Follow life found only "in Him".
Technically, what he is saying is neither grace nor law. He's made up his own religion.

I'll show you the difference with what you did right here.

You're point is I am this:
These people are grumblers and faultfinders

Which, of course makes you so much superior, because, hey, I'm doing it wrong, and you are perfect.

(BTW, Jude doesn't have chapters. It's short enough not to use chapters.)

BUT, in context,
3 Beloved, although I was very eager to write to you about our common salvation, I found it necessary to write appealing to you to contend for the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints. 4 For certain people have crept in unnoticed who long ago were designated for this condemnation, ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into sensuality and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.
5 Now I want to remind you, although you once fully knew it, that Jesus, who saved[c] a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe. 6 And the angels who did not stay within their own position of authority, but left their proper dwelling, he has kept in eternal chains under gloomy darkness until the judgment of the great day— 7 just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding cities, which likewise indulged in sexual immorality and pursued unnatural desire,[d]serve as an example by undergoing a punishment of eternal fire.
8 Yet in like manner these people also, relying on their dreams, defile the flesh, reject authority, and blaspheme the glorious ones. 9 But when the archangel Michael, contending with the devil, was disputing about the body of Moses, he did not presume to pronounce a blasphemous judgment, but said, “The Lord rebuke you.” 10 But these people blaspheme all that they do not understand, and they are destroyed by all that they, like unreasoning animals, understand instinctively. 11 Woe to them! For they walked in the way of Cain and abandoned themselves for the sake of gain to Balaam's error and perished in Korah's rebellion.12 These are hidden reefs[e] at your love feasts, as they feast with you without fear, shepherds feeding themselves; waterless clouds, swept along by winds; fruitless trees in late autumn, twice dead, uprooted;13 wild waves of the sea, casting up the foam of their own shame; wandering stars, for whom the gloom of utter darkness has been reserved forever.
14 It was also about these that Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied, saying, “Behold, the Lord comes with ten thousands of his holy ones, 15 to execute judgment on all and to convict all the ungodly of all their deeds of ungodliness that they have committed in such an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things that ungodly sinners have spoken against him.” 16 These are grumblers, malcontents, following their own sinful desires; they are loud-mouthed boasters, showing favoritism to gain advantage.

In context? You are the one who doesn't believe in what Christ did, but are still pretending you keep the law. You are the perverting God's grace into sensual desire. (Why else must women dress like that, but you don't have to dress any which way?) You are the one rejecting authority. You are the one blaspheming. (Not God's will. MY will!) You're the hidden reef at the love feast, feeding yourself, waterless cloud, fruitless tree, wild waves, and wandering stars. You are the grumbler, malcontent, and loud boaster.

Amazing what context does, isn't it?
How am I given over to sensuality and sexual immorality if I am the one teaching against contraception, against masturbation, and against immodesty of unveiled wives? You are calling what is good evil (what I am teaching, which is scriptural and based on the perfect and holy Law of God), and what is evil good (your own way which is not based on the commands of God).

This is in the scriptures, also

NUMBERS 25:6 Just then one of the Israelite men brought a Midianite woman into the camp, right before the eyes of Moses and all the people, as they were weeping at the entrance of the Tabernacle.
NUMBERS 25:7 When Phinehas son of Eleazar and grandson of Aaron the priest saw this, he jumped up and left the assembly. Then he took a spear
NUMBERS 25:8 and rushed after the man into his tent. Phinehas thrust the spear all the way through the man's body and into the woman's stomach. So the plague against the Israelites was stopped,

Is not all sin also iniquity?

Whosoever committeth sin commmitteth also iniquity; and sin is iniquity. (1 John 3:4 [DRB])

So even whatever is consider least of the commands, relating to "lesser" sins, must be stopped, in order to come to full obedience.
The Jewish law is divided this way for a reason . Look it up I don't believe you even know why .
If you did , you would not have asked your question about iniquity.

Mr. Christig

Your real problem is that you haven't been born from above. Ask the Lord what this means...then you will be ok. :D

~Joh 3:2  He came to Jesus at night and told him, "Rabbi, we know that you have come from God as a teacher, because no one can perform these signs that you are doing unless God is with him." 
Joh 3:3  Jesus replied to him, "Truly, I tell you with certainty, unless a person is born from above he cannot see the kingdom of God." 
Joh 3:4  Nicodemus asked him, "How can a person be born when he is old? He can't go back into his mother's womb a second time and be born, can he?" 
Joh 3:5  Jesus answered, "Truly, I tell you with certainty, unless a person is born of water and Spirit he cannot enter the kingdom of God. 
Joh 3:6  What is born of the flesh is flesh, and what is born of the Spirit is spirit. 
Joh 3:7  Don't be astonished that I told you, 'All of you must be born from above.' 
Joh 3:8  The wind blows where it wants to. You hear its sound, but you don't know where it comes from or where it is going. That's the way it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit." 
Joh 3:9  Nicodemus asked him, "How can that be?" 
Joh 3:10  Jesus answered him, "You're a teacher of Israel, and you can't understand this? 
Joh 3:11  Truly, I tell you with certainty, we know what we're talking about, and we testify about what we've seen. Yet you people do not accept our testimony. 
Joh 3:12  If I have told you people about earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you about heavenly things? 
Joh 3:13  "No one has gone up to heaven except the one who came down from heaven, the Son of Man who is in heaven. 
Joh 3:14  Just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, 
Joh 3:15  so that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life.

Do you study both the Koran and the Bible?
I study the holy scriptures only and that is what I base everything I know out of and only what I quote. However, I am indeed knowledgeable in some Islamic teachings, especially concerning usury (reba) and interest, because their teachings concerning this closely align with old testament teachings on usury and interest, which western culture has completely discarded.

All his rhetoric is from either the Old Testament law or the rabbinical law of the Jewish faith.
most of which Jesus set us free from . More or less a Hebrew roots type with a different take

It does not matter who says it is so, whether me or John Doe, it is in the scriptures.

Hi Chris,

I guess too many topics in one post. :)

What I meant about asking it's true because you say so, I was referring to you saying that the covering is a command, even through we don't find it as a command in the OT.

I do acknowledge that 1 Corinthians 11 is confusing. Scholars are divided over the issue of head covering. I also am not
positive about whether a woman should have a covering or not.

And then it seems like Paul was speaking about hair being the covering because he ends the whole conversation with this:

Does not even nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him, but if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her? For her hair is given to her for a covering. But if one is inclined to be contentious, we have no other practice, nor have the churches of God.

So with him ending the
conversation that way and knowing it's not a command from the OT, it leads me to believe that my hair is my covering.

I thought you might have some Islamic background too. We have had muslims in our home.

I wish you and my husband could meet. He is a Jew also, his father from Germany, his mother from Russia. Both familes comepletely jewish in the lines, no mix until they came to the USA. It's been passed down by word of mouth that they are of Levi.

But, he knows that all these things are of no consequence now. Israel is blessed above all nations for worshipping the Creator of all things. But, Yeshua, His Son had to come to the world as Messiah...not a King to rule this time, but as Saviour of all the world. The only way to save us is to put humanity and all these imperfections brought by the serpent, to death. And a new race started.

The race of all who believe the gospel, and receive it. The gospel is the power to change ones nature. It's the only way a person can change. We can't change ourselves or make ourselves holy in any way. To be like Him, we must be born of Him. He is Spirit, He is love, and our nature is of Him.

No laws needed to control a spiritual creation because we are like Him within.

Kinda funny! You say the OT doesn't allow charging interest. Yet, in Europe, where charging interest was forbidden by the RCC for Christians, the Jews were the one who became the "money changers."

Further, your studying the Qur'an shows only one thing - that you have an agenda, a bad theology, and you will even use the completely and utterly demonic Qur'an to support your nonsense.

I think you would make a good Muslim! You do not believe that Christ saves, but works. You have some silly idea about women being covered by veils. Boy, those niqabs must make you drool! You seem to only believe the Torah, as the Muslims do. But you are not above using NT verses to support your deviant doctrines.

It would be great for you to live in Saudi Arabia, among the Wahhabi extremists. You would never have to encounter an unveiled woman (except for some stupid woman tourist, obviously sent by the devil to deceive you with her bewitching sexuality.) You could see that women can't drive, can't go out unless accompanied by a man, including a 10 year old son.

Forget misogyny! You bring a whole new meaning to the Hebrew Roots movement. God says no where to obey the feasts and festivals, but women are equal with men.

"There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus Gal. 3:28

Well, continue with your ravings, your totally wrong exegesis, and your very own personally created heresy. I admit, I am a bit miffed I wrote a long post, complete with Scriptures in context, and you did not reply!

But then again, if you did not reply because there was no counter defence for the truth of what I posted, I will take that as a compliment.

PS. My hair has grown quite long through benign neglect. Meaning I haven't thought about cutting it. I was thinking of keeping it long, but after your diatribe, I will cut it. I am not going to be associated with this kind of lunacy, that the OP keeps posting! Besides, summer is coming, too, and it will be hot here!

Everything I have said is in scripture,
You've now crossed the line into falsehood and thereby broken the ninth commandment. Off to repentance with you, and don't forget your goat for the sin sacrifice. Oh, wait... that's not adequate; the wages of sin is death, and the blood of bulls and goats can never wash away sin!

If you want to continue doing such practices, then so be it,...
Dude, you are way off base, and you have made a beginner's logical error. Not only is your interpretational model deeply flawed, but, unsurprisingly, you are unable to defend your position without attacking your opponent personally.

He was a Manx, so probably immigrated from Ireland.

Awesome cat - he'd stalk me and then pounce playfully...I loved the little guy..

ooooooo!

I'm not really a cat person, but there are a few breeds I really do like.

Manx is one. I had a friend years ago who had a black one. It was huge and looked like a solid black bobcat.

I also like those Maine coons and Siamese. and cats that act like dogs.

Why do you look to Islamic teachings on interest ? When Jewish law already covers it ? The Talmud in particular the Mishnah covers it well. I can't help to think that you are either ignorant of those laws . Or is it that they don't line up with how you think it should be ? Those laws are very comprehensive forbidding interest , dividends or investment with greater returns than originally invested . What is it you don't want to give up your retirement account. Yes forbidden too .
Cherry picking your way through scripture and religious writings. Not good , well enjoy the cleaning of the outside of your cup .

You might like a serval crossbreed... or purebred, if you're really adventurous (and rich).

my dogs have been asking for a cat but I suspect their motives haha

servals are beautiful, did not know they were cross-breeding them

I always thought ocelots were stunning too

I guess I tend to like the exotic breeds
