Matthew 5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

Was the Lord Jesus mis-speaking here?

The gospel according to Deighann is contradicting Christ. Its ok though. All your legalist and Judaizer buddies do it too.

Some of them even know they do it. Others do not.
And how did I contradict that?

What she is calling the "spirit of the law" is called the righteousness of the law in scripture and according to Paul`s gospel following the Holy Spirit will cause the righteousness of the law to be fulfilled in us. This happens by the power of God`s love shed in our hearts.

These attacks I am seeing are nothing but more mean spirited word twisting.

Amen.

So God's people keep His commands and obey Him. Praise God!

I will not venture to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me in leading the Gentiles to obey God by what I have said and done— Romans 15:18

Here's just a couple of what Paul said including the work of obedience part that goes together with faith in everything Paul have said and done and which some have tried to separate which caused division producing around 33,000 denominations around the world according to World Christian Encyclopedia (WCE)

For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. Ephesians 2:8-10

...he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life. This is a trustworthy saying. And I want you to stress these things, so that those who have trusted in God may be careful to devote themselves to doing what is good. These things are excellent and profitable for everyone.
Titus 3:5-8

The Master's word/s is a law to His servants, written on their hearts.

Confess Jesus as your Lord and Savior and walk in Love.

God is good and His Love endures forever. Amen

Thanks and God bless.
Yep

And once again How do they do it?

but, you judeaizers say that one has to keep the letter of the Law to properly manifest the indwelling Sprit. that is a lie.

if one is manifesting the Fruits of the Sprit, then against theses there is no Law.

but, in the Fruits of the Sprit, there is no Sabbath keeping. that is why you judeaizers reject or twist this.

Sounds great. Are there any verses for that? That all "blood" laws were fulfilled by Christ on the cross?
not heard shall they consider.





Isaiah 53:1 Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed?

Isaiah 53:2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.

Isaiah 53:3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.

Isaiah 53:4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.

Isaiah 53:5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

Isaiah 53:6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

Isaiah 53:7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.

Isaiah 53:8 He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken.

Isaiah 53:9 And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.

Isaiah 53:10 Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.

Isaiah 53:11 He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.

Isaiah 53:12 Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps. 1 Peter 2:21

This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers. If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him? Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth. This then is how we know that we belong to the truth, and how we set our hearts at rest in his presence whenever our hearts condemn us. For God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything. Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God and receive from him anything we ask, because we obey his commands and do what pleases him. And this is his command: to believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as he commanded us. Those who obey his commands live in him, and he in them. And this is how we know that he lives in us: We know it by the Spirit he gave us. 1 John 3:16-24

We know that we have come to know him if we obey his commands. The man who says, “I know him,” but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But if anyone obeys his word, God’s love is truly made complete in him. This is how we know we are in him: Whoever claims to live in him must walk as Jesus did. 1 John 2:3-6

And this is love: that we walk in obedience to his commands. As you have heard from the beginning, his command is that you walk in love. 2 John 1:6

Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers. Galatians 6:7-10

So, through love and sacrificing outpr own needs and putting the needs of ithers above our own, we will be people who are obedient and not break gods commands

I agree

Which is why we do not need the law, the law can not help us do those things,

PLease answer my question

Are you saying circumcision isnt all that important? God nearly slayed Moses for neglecting that commandment......
I see you trying to lay a trap.

“You are wrong, because you know neither the Scriptures nor the power of God."

Becasue the entire purpose is in the word, right after talking about the blessings and curses of the law:

Deuteronomy 30:1-6, " 1 “And when all these things come upon you, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before you, and you call them to mind among all the nations where the LORD your God has driven you, 2 and return to the LORD your God, you and your children, and obey his voice in all that I command you today, with all your heart and with all your soul, 3 then the LORD your God will restore your fortunes and have mercy on you, and he will gather you again from all the peoples where the LORD your God has scattered you. 4 If your outcasts are in the uttermost parts of heaven, from there the LORD your God will gather you, and from there he will take you. 5 And the LORD your God will bring you into the land that your fathers possessed, that you may possess it. And he will make you more prosperous and numerous than your fathers. 6 And the LORD your God will circumcise your heart and the heart of your offspring, so that you will love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul, that you may live."

Just like baptisim it is and outward sign of an inward chage. If there is no inward chage it is useless.
Just like baptisim it is and outward sign of an inward chage. If there is no inward chage it is useless. If one is physically circumcised but is not following God it is as if they are not circumcised:

Jeremiah 4:4-5, " 4 Circumcise yourselves to the LORD; remove the foreskin of your hearts, O men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem; lest my wrath go forth like fire, and burn with none to quench it, because of the evil of your deeds.” 5 Declare in Judah, and proclaim in Jerusalem, and say, “Blow the trumpet through the land; cry aloud and say, ‘Assemble, and let us go into the fortified cities!’

This is what you AREN'T GETTING.
Romans 3:31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.
No. Christianity does NOT make the law void.
Christianity just CAUSES US TO STOP WORKING AT THE COMMANDMENTS.
How/Why? Because Gods Actual Law is written in our hearts and minds and not Commandments commanding men to obey Gods Law.
You don't have to work at something that is written in your heart and written on your mind. It is the CAUSE of you doing the things that you do.
I have been sayiing the law is not gone, sand quoting Heb 10:16-16, now quote this telling me im wrong.

You frame all desire of obedience as "working"

If one has the SPirit of God changing their heart they will have the law in their heart and mind. That is heart AND mind. That means they will love in and think/meditate on it. Yet you say if one thinks about it, enjoys it, seeks to do it, its "working!!!!" SO do you propose people as holy spirit robots that have no control over themselves.

Galatians 3:12 And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.

Working at the law is not of faith. And working at the law is NOT what establishes the law.

It is our faith in Christ that establishes the law.
LOL, sems you don;t know what Paul is quoting from or you may have not quoted that. This shows the truth...

Midrashic intrepratation:

Galatians 3:12, “But the law is not of faith, rather “The one who does them shall live by them.”

The actual text:

Leviticus 18:4-5, " 4 You shall follow my rules and keep my statutes and walk in them. I am the LORD your God. 5 You shall therefore keep my statutes and my rules; if a person does them, he shall live by them: I am the LORD.

Romans 9:30-32
30 What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith. 31 But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness. 32 Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone;
Psalm 119:165, “Great peace have those loving YourLaw, And for them there is no stumbling-block..”

Midrashic foolishness. What is the stumbling stone according to what Paul is quoting?

Romans 9:32-33, " 32 Why? Because they did not pursue it by faith, but as if it were based on works. They have stumbled over the stumbling stone, 33 as it is written, “Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense; and whoever believes in him will not be put to shame.”

Isaiah 8:11-15, " 11 For the LORD spoke thus to me with his strong hand upon me, and warned me not to walk in the way of this people, saying: 12 “Do not call conspiracy all that this people calls conspiracy, and do not fear what they fear, nor be in dread. 13 But the LORD of hosts, him you shall honor as holy. Let him be your fear, and let him be your dread. 14 And he will become a sanctuary and a stone of offense and a rock of stumbling to both houses of Israel, a trap and a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem. 15 And many shall stumble on it. They shall fall and be broken; they shall be snared and taken.”

Isaiah 28:16-17, " 16 therefore thus says the Lord GOD, “Behold, I am the one who has laid as a foundation in Zion, a stone, a tested stone, a precious cornerstone, of a sure foundation: ‘Whoever believes will not be in haste.’ 17 And I will make justice the line, and righteousness the plumb line; and hail will sweep away the refuge of lies, and waters will overwhelm the shelter.”

Psalms 118:19-22, " 19 Open to me the gates of righteousness, that I may enter through them and give thanks to the LORD. 20 This is the gate of the LORD; the righteous shall enter through it. 21 I thank you that you have answered me and have become my salvation. 22 The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.

THe gate...the cornerstone is Jesus, for the most part the Jews did not accept Jesus, this is the stumbling block, not the Commands...But if one does not know the old testament they will not know how to seperate what the old testament says in dividing it from Paul's midrashic intrepratation.

Revelation 14:12-13, " 12 Here is a call for the endurance of the saints, those who keep the commandments of God and their faith in Jesus. 13 And I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Write this: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.” “Blessed indeed,” says the Spirit, “that they may rest from their labors, for their deeds follow them!”

Yet it is how we know we are sinners, because non of us can keep it,

When you say this, you appear to be limiting gods commands to 10, and your also limiting our faithfulness to how well we perform

God is not a performance based God, he is a love based God, he loves us, and in turn wants to teach us how to love others
Yet I have said in a number of posts differently than you are implying and even quoted 2 verses that are differnt than you are implying of me.

Yes the law does not make us righteous or loving, but it is how we know:

1 John 5:2-3, " 2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and obey his commandments. 3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome.

Matthew 22:37-40, " 37 And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. 38 This is the great and first commandment. 39 And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. 40 On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.”
Bottom line, the law done properly is true and perfect love. Disagree with that? Ask youself who is the only one to walk sinless? Jesus right. Who was the only one to walk perfectly in love? Jesus right. Very simple, I will leave it there.

Once you understand that these people, having believed a "strong delusion", have "embraced the lie", so it really REALLY offends them, when they are unable in subduing/oppressing/belittling/mocking/scoffing, and calling that which you believe every blessed (;)) name in the book?
It makes for more sadness, when witnessing against them.
It also makes for little wonder why Jesus said there would be "many in that day", He'll turn away!

They are under the impression that we still need Jesus!

As to there actually being 2 Jesus's? What "jesus" would tell ANYONE "there is no need to follow, or work at the 10 commandments?" :unsure: Or any of the other commandments included in Mosaic law?

INSTEAD? Simply love jesus, love jesus, love jesus, and get every neighbor you can to love jesus, love jesus, love jesus, and I'll put y'all to task in justfying yourselves through vain and profane pursuits!
O.T. law? Even the O.T. itself? OBSOLETE! Don't need it! Heck! Really don't even know why it's there at all, NOW THAT YOU HAVE ME! sez the spirit of anti christ!

So, ya see, it's as much a witness against the spirit of anti christ, in the letting it be known, especially to others, as these ones believe its lies, can nothing be done for 'em.

Of course they'll laugh and laugh, in that bottomless blinding pit they call love.

But, it's only funny to them! And their jesus!

To me? It's sad!
Again it's rather shocking that CHristians are saying they follow Jesus by not following Him. As you states, delusion indeed.

I guess this applies to some christians not just the Jews...

Psalms 118:19-22, " 19 Open to me the gates of righteousness, that I may enter through them and give thanks to the LORD. 20 This is the gate of the LORD; the righteous shall enter through it. 21 I thank you that you have answered me and have become my salvation. 22 The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.

3 then the LORD your God will restore your fortunes and have mercy on you, and he will gather you again from all the peoples where the LORD your God has scattered you. 4 If your outcasts are in the uttermost parts of heaven, from there the LORD your God will gather you, and from there he will take you. 5 And the LORD your God will bring you into the land that your fathers possessed, that you may possess it. And he will make you more prosperous and numerous than your fathers.

... you think all THAT ^ speaks of [to/for/about] "the Church which is His body"?? (i.e. happening "in this present age [singular]"?)


If you do, I disagree.
The land has never been fully possessed. It will be in the kingdom.It only applies to those that will enter the kingdom in it's final and full fulfillment.

Zechariah 14:4-9, " 4 On that day his feet shall stand on the Mount of Olives that lies before Jerusalem on the east, and the Mount of Olives shall be split in two from east to west by a very wide valley, so that one half of the Mount shall move northward, and the other half southward. 5 And you shall flee to the valley of my mountains, for the valley of the mountains shall reach to Azal. And you shall flee as you fled from the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. Then the LORD my God will come, and all the holy ones with him. 6 On that day there shall be no light, cold, or frost. 7 And there shall be a unique day, which is known to the LORD, neither day nor night, but at evening time there shall be light. 8 On that day living waters shall flow out from Jerusalem, half of them to the eastern sea and half of them to the western sea. It shall continue in summer as in winter. 9 And the LORD will be king over all the earth. On that day the LORD will be one and his name one.

Revelation 21:16-17, " 16 The city lies foursquare, its length the same as its width. And he measured the city with his rod, 12,000 stadia. Its length and width and height are equal. 17 He also measured its wall, 144 cubits by human measurement, which is also an angel's measurement.

Daniel 2:34-35, " 34 As you looked, a stone was cut out by no human hand, and it struck the image on its feet of iron and clay, and broke them in pieces. 35 Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver, and the gold, all together were broken in pieces, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing floors; and the wind carried them away, so that not a trace of them could be found. But the stone that struck the image became a great mountain and filled the whole earth.

Hebrews 10:16-17, " 16 “This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, declares the Lord: I will put my laws on their hearts, and write them on their minds,” 17 then he adds, “I will remember their sins and their lawless deeds no more.”

Matthew 24:11-12, " 11 And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray. 12 And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold.

Acts 3:22-23, " 22 Moses said, ‘The Lord God will raise up for you a prophet like me from your brothers. You shall listen to him in whatever he tells you. 23 And it shall be that every soul who does not listen to that prophet shall be destroyed from the people.’

So, through love and sacrificing outpr own needs and putting the needs of ithers above our own, we will be people who are obedient and not break gods commands

I agree

Which is why we do not need the law, the law can not help us do those things,
In the past God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe. Hebrews 1:1-2

Why do you think the law was written on our hearts if we do not need it? Did Jesus say that we don't need the law? When He gave the instructions to preach the gospel and teach people to obey whatever He commanded them, does that not include the 10 commandments which were summed up in this one rule: "love your neighbour as yourself"?

Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for he who loves his fellowman has fulfilled the law. The commandments, “Do not commit adultery,” “Do not murder,” “Do not steal,” “Do not covet,” and whatever other commandment there may be, are summed up in this one rule: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” Love does no harm to its neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.

Concerning this salvation, the prophets, who spoke of the grace that was to come to you, searched intently and with the greatest care, trying to find out the time and circumstances to which the Spirit of Christ in them was pointing when he predicted the sufferings of Christ and the glories that would follow. It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves but you, when they spoke of the things that have now been told you by those who have preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven.

It's a bit confusing though how God's people keep and obey His commands when they don't even need them according to you.

Gods people keep his commands why?

B cause they follow the law of love, not the law of moses

We agree, gods people obey him
