"but only the person who keeps doing the will of my Father "
The will of the Father is to believe in His Son whom He sent, Jesus Christ. The will of the Father is not for us to keep the law in order to enter into the kingdom of God, because no one will ever enter in by keeping the law.

You need to stop teaching this and repent, because this issue is eternal life threatening.

You conveniently left off the key part of the context:

"Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you workers of lawlessness.’ "

The reason why there will be those who will not enter into the kingdom of God, is because in the example above they will have been trusting in their own works to enter in as revealed by their own words "did we not." No one enters into the kingdom of God by prophesying, casting out demons, performing miracles, relying on the keeping of the Sabbath, abstaining from foods and trying to keep the ten commandments or any of the other laws.

The will of the Father is to believe in the Son. Those above will have been trying to get in by their own efforts, which currently you belong to.
I see that is one and many shall be judged by God in each person's motive behind whatever one is doing. One's works purpose is what I see Father will expose, those that work iniquity for self-gain. Are not real as the Pharisees were in Christ's day. As he told us all our works of belief better be better than the Pharisees or we will not enter his Father's Kingdom

For they claimed belief and appeared as knowing, but used it for gain here on earth.

And to whether or not another is doing this or not, I make no claim, Father desires to redeem everyone in his Love and mercy given by Son. For us to Love all back the same and stay out of Judging

For Father knows who are his and will bring each to see truth that belongs

Romans 14:4Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)

4 Who art thou that judgest another man’s servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand.

I know this about me, I do not perfectly respond as if I know Christ, and yet by him from Father am saved. For


2 Corinthians 10:5-6Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)

5 casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; 6 and having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.

I see now to refrain from Judging others as if I got it together when only God doies not me ot anyone else.

So all I can do is love as am loved frist by God in FRisen Son leading

"And this is his command: to believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as he commanded us."

His commands are not the keeping of the law. You should be concerned Hizikyah, because what are you teaching is against the Lord, regardless of how many Hebrew words you use.

Remember, those who put themselves under the law are bound to keep the entire law, perfectly. Once you break one, you've broken the entire law.
Being "Under the Law" does not mean being obedient to our creator. It means being dead in our transgressions.

For you to preach obedience to the instructions Jesus created, before becoming a man, is "Against Jesus" is widespread no doubt, nevertheless, it is not accurate according to the Word of God..

You teach this, Benny Hinn teaches this, Joel Olsteen teaches this, the Pope teaches this, but the Bible does not.

This is why Hiz has taken the time to show you what the Book actually says, out of reverence and Love for Jesus, and love of the Brethren.

If you can make the case that he is teaching against the Word's of the Bible, then make your case. But if he is simply exposing your doctrine as coming from man and not from God, maybe you should consider.

Hebrews 4:12-13, “For the Word of Yah is living, and working, and sharper than any two-edged sword, cutting through even to the dividing of being and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart. And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all are naked and laid bare before the eyes of Him with whom is our account.”

Revelation 19:11-16, “And I saw the heaven opened, and there was a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Trustworthy and True, and in righteousness He judges and fights. And His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns, having a Name that had been written, which no one had perceived except Himself and having been dressed in a robe dipped in blood and His Name is called: The Word of יהוה. And the armies in the heaven, dressed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses. And out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should smite the nations. And He shall shepherd them with a rod of iron. And He treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Strength Almighty. And on His robe and on His banner He has a name written: SOVEREIGN OF SOVEREIGNS AND MASTER OF MASTERS."

Psalm 119:160, "The sum of Your word is truth, And all Your righteous right-rulings are forever."

Psalms 119:105, “Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path.”

SO the only options are sinless perfection or throw His Law out? No, this is not right.
Hizikyah, you have not understood the simplicity of the good news. We are made perfect through faith in Christ. Not that we are righteous in our own selves, but we are credited with righteousness for faith, Christ's righteousness. God sees us through Christ's righteousness even though we are not perfect. As we continue from faith to faith, we are being transformed into the image of Christ. It is a life-long process and we will never reach perfection, not until that voice that sounds like a trumpet says "come up here" and we are changed into our immortal and glorified bodies, then we will have been perfected.

As those in Christ, when we sin, we confess our sins and he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanses us from ALL UNRIGHTEOUSNESS. Should we continue in sin that God's grace may abound? God forbid! As those in Christ we should be bringing our bodies under control, fleeing from every kind of sexual immorality and bringing every thought under captivity. But we are not under the law. We confess it and it's forgiven. If I am weak and I fail at any of the ten commandments or the other 613 laws, I confess it, it is forgiven and it's done with.

Once again what you fail to apply is that, the reference to "His commands" is not referring to the works of the law. His commands are to believe in the one whom he sent and to love one another.


I don't even think about the law, I follow Christ! I don't get up in the morning and recite the ten commandments and remind myself not fail at any of them. I am not going to fail at them because I am following Christ my righteousness. And when I do fail at any of them, I confess my sin and am forgiven and cleansed of all unrighteousness. I am not under the law at all. My salvation is by trusting in Christ as the One who provided salvation for me. By having faith in Him who fulfilled the law, it is credited to me. God already sees me as having fulfilled the law and that because Christ fulfilled it whom I trust in.

The above is to all of those who are not having faith in Christ, which means that they will be judged according to their works in the flesh. The scripture above is referring to those who are willfully living according to the sinful nature, whether unbelievers or professing Christians.

I dont disagree with everything you said, His mercy is what even enables us to be reconciled to HIm period.

What you said here, I beleve this. Yahshua, having ratified the covenant in His blood:

[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Hebrews 9:11-12, "But the Messiah came near as a High Priest over the righteous things to come, with the great and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands, that is, not of this creation; Nor through the blood of goats and calves, but through His own blood He entered the Most Holy Place once, for all, having obtained eternal redemption."

Has given us the perfect and intende way to approach YHWH:

[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]to the Father except through Me."[/FONT]


[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Matthew 27:50-51, “And [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]יהושע [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]cried out again with a loud voice, and gave up His spirit.

[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Hebrews 9:1-3, “Now the first covenant indeed had regulations of worship and the earthly set-apart place. For a Tent was prepared: the first part, in which was the lampstand, and the table, and the showbread, which is called the Set-apart Place. And after the second veil, the part of the Tent which is called Most Set-apart.”[/FONT]


[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Hebrews 9:24, “For Messiah has not entered into a Set-apart Place made by hand – figures of the true – but into the heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of Elohim on our behalf,"9:25, "not that He should offer Himself often, as the high priest enters into the Set-apart Place year by year with blood not his own.”[/FONT]


[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Hebrews 9:11-12, “But Messiah, having become a High Priest of the coming good matters, through the greater and more perfect Tent not made with hands, that is, not of this creation, entered into the Most Set-apart Place once for all, not with the blood of goats and calves, but with His own blood, having obtained everlasting redemption.”[/FONT]


[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Hebrews 10:19, “So, brothers, having boldness to enter into the Set-apart Place by the blood of [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]יהושע[FONT=Times New Roman, serif], by a new and living way which He instituted for us, through the veil, that is, His flesh.”[/FONT][/FONT]


[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Hebrews 4:14-16, "Therefore, since we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]יהושע [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]the Son of Elohim, let us hold fast our confession. For we do not have a High Priest unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who was tried in all respects as we are, apart from sin. Therefore, let us come boldly to the throne of favor, in order to receive compassion, and find favor for timely help."

and the Law is still valid

For we have spent enough of our past lifetime in doing the desire of the nations, having walked in indecencies, lusts, drunkenness, orgies, wild parties, and abominable idolatries, in which they are surprised that you do not run with them in the same flood of loose behavior, blaspheming, who shall give an account to Him who is ready to judge the living and the dead. For this reason the Good News was also brought to those who are dead, so that, whereas they are judged according to men in the flesh, they might live according to Yah in the spirit. But the end of all has drawn near. Therefore be sober-minded, and be attentive in the prayers. And above all have fervent love for one another, because love covers a great number of sins.”

Once again what you fail to apply is that, the reference to "His commands" is not referring to the works of the law. His commands are to believe in the one whom he sent and to love one another.


I don't even think about the law, I follow Christ! I don't get up in the morning and recite the ten commandments and remind myself not fail at any of them. I am not going to fail at them because I am following Christ my righteousness. And when I do fail at any of them, I confess my sin and am forgiven and cleansed of all unrighteousness. I am not under the law at all. My salvation is by trusting in Christ as the One who provided salvation for me. By having faith in Him who fulfilled the law, it is credited to me. God already sees me as having fulfilled the law and that because Christ fulfilled it whom I trust in.
Mat 22:37-40, "Yahshua said to him: You must love YHWH your Father with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might. (Deut 6:5) This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. (Lev 19:18) On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets."

believe the one He sent?

OK:

John/Yahanan 5:46-47, "For had you believed Mosheh, you would have believed Me, for he wrote about Me*. But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe My words?"

*Mosheh wrote:

Deuteronomy 18:18-19, "I (YHWH) will raise up for them a Prophet (Yahshua/Jesus) like you from among their brothers, and I will put My words in His mouth, and He will tell them everything I command Him. Whoever will not listen to My words, which He speaks in My Name, I will judge him for it"

"listen" is word #8085 -
שָׁמַעshama` {shaw-mah'}

Brown-Driver-Briggs (Old Testament Hebrew-English Lexicon)
A primitive root; to hear intelligently (often with implication of attention, obedience, etc.; causatively to tell, etc.)

Hebrew Word Study (Transliteration-Pronunciation Etymology & Grammar) - 1) to hear, listen to, obey


John/Yahanan 12:48, "He who rejects Me, and does not follow My words has One Who judges him. The word that I have spoken, the same will be used to judge him in the last day."

Why can't we all understand the simple fact that keeping the law is technically works? If one person keeps the law better than his brother, then that one person could boast.

Are we not saved by YHWH's Grace, through faith in Jesus so that no one may boast?

The glory belongs to Jesus for he made the ultimate sacrifice and the Father for he made the ultimate sacrifice possible.

Trying to hold onto your own doing to save you is like saying that you need something more that the Sacrifice that Jesus made.

It is like saying Jesus was not enough.

Jesus is enough because he fulfilled the law because he was the only one that Could.

The will of the Father is for us to believe in Jesus' sacrifice and love for us.

Jesus died for the sins of the whole world. If we love and trust in Jesus, we are then to live as he taught us because it is a beautiful way to interact with fellow humans and it makes the world a far better place.

Too bad not even mainstream Christianity understands the core of this message, hence the wildly different denominations and separations in the church.

I agree with what you said, except “the Law is fulfilled” in a way that it is abolished:
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Mat 5:18, "I say to you; Unless heaven and earth passes away, one yodh; the smallest of the letters will in no way pass from the Law, until all things are perfected."

Revelation 21:1, "I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away."
[/FONT]
Heaven and earth has not yet passed and all have not yet been fulfilled. This does not mean Im going to or believe I need to “fulfill” Messiah is the prophesied one He will return as the conquering Lion.



I would say it is a question of faith without work or faith with works.

and

Is the way His Law as told by the Messiah or whatever is in ones heart.

I say faith with works is faith perfected:
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]James 2:26, "For just as the body without the spirit is dead, so the faith without works is dead also."[/FONT]


[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]James 2:17, "So also belief, if it does not have works, is in itself dead."[/FONT]


[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]James 2:22, "Do you see that the belief was working with his works, and by the works the belief was perfected?"[/FONT]


[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]James 2:24, "You see, then, that a man is declared right by works, and not by belief alone."

James 2:26, "For just as the body without the spirit is dead, so the faith without works is dead also."
[/FONT]


[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]James 2:14, “My brothers, what use is it for anyone to say he has belief but does not have works? This belief is unable to save him.”[/FONT]

and His Law is the standard of love as told by Messiah:
[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Mat 22:37-40, "Yahshua said to him: You must love YHWH your Father with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might. (Deut 6:5) This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. (Lev 19:18) On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets."[/FONT]


[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]1 John 5:2-3, "By this we know that we love the children of Yah, when we love Yah and guard His commands. For this is the love for Yah, that we guard His commands, and His commands are not heavy."[/FONT]


[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]1 John 4:20, “"If someone says, "I love Yah," and hates his brother, he is a liar; for the one who does not love his brother whom he has seen, cannot love Yah whom he has not seen."[/FONT]


[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]1 John 2:3-7, “And by this we know that we know Him, if we guard His commands. The one who says, “I know Him,” and does not guard His commands, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But whoever guards His Word, truly the love of Yah has been perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him. The one who says he stays in Him ought himself also to walk, even as He walked. Beloved, I write no fresh command to you, but an old command which you have had from the beginning. The old command is the Word which you heard from the beginning.”[/FONT]


[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Genesis 1:1, “In the beginning Elohim created the heavens and the earth.”[/FONT]


[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]1 John 2:24, "As for you, let that stay in you which you heard from the beginning. If what you heard from the beginning stays in you, you also shall stay in the Son and in the Father."[/FONT]


[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Deuteronomy 6:5, “And [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]you shall love [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]יהוה [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]your Strength with all your heart, and with all your being, and with all your might[/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif].”[/FONT]


[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Leviticus 19:18, ‘Do not take vengeance or bear a grudge against the children of your people. And [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]you shall love your neighbor as yourself[/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]. I am [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif]יהוה[/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, serif].”[/FONT]

if promoting this is argumentative or wrong then I don't know what to say because it is all things the messiah promoted

So then anyone who claims Jesus as their Savior, but transgresses the Commandments of God by their ancient religious traditions will be judged according to their works?
