I know exactly where I stand. You asked for proof of my claim. I use your words to show your statement false, as did others. You offer no rebuttal; only insinuations and falsehoods.
You did not prove anything and you dont know now where you stand but I hope you will one day

How do you know what's in my heart? You are the one who believes you can change your own heart; not me. And if man can change his own heart, why does an individual need a savior or a covenant that promises a new heart?
If a divided heart exists between us, it surely is not mine.
Do have a question for you: do you believe the purpose of the law is so an individual can change their own heart?
 
The sabbath is not the gospel.

We preach Christ crucified not some law in the O.T.
Worshipping our Creator is part of the everlasting gospel and that points us to the Sabbath, which is a reminder of who made us and who made everything we enjoy daily, but probably take for granted. It is resting in His creative and redemptive work, everything He does for us without us.

Rev 14:6 Then I saw another angel flying in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach to those who dwell on the earth—to every nation, tribe, tongue, and people— 7 saying with a loud voice,Fear God and give glory to Him, for the hour of His judgment has come; and worship Him who made heaven and earth, the sea and springs of water.


Exo 20:11For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.

Why Jesus made the Sabbath for humanity

Mark 2:27 And He said to them, “The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath.

There are many gods in this world that many people serve without even realizing it, but there is only one God, who made heavens and earth and everything in it and made mankind. Resting on the Sabbath with God is resting in God's works Exo32:16 instead of depending on our own.

Cameron is not certain what camp to choose now, I have discussed this with him in the past, @Cameron143 his foundation is built on the sand. The rock is jesus word, his commandments internalized and lived out. The sand is everything built outside of that, including doctrines that quietly move away from what Jesus actually taught.

The Trees and the Wind

The winds of this world blow hard and long, From every direction they come,
Testing the weak and testing the strong, Till the final verdict is done.

Some trees grew deep in the rock and stone, Their roots reached down through the years,
Through seasons of drought and cold alone, Through struggle and sweat and tears.

When the winds came howling across the land, And beat on their branches with force,
Those trees just bent but they still could stand, For their roots held firm to the source.

But others had grown in the easy ground, Their branches spread wide and tall,
They looked so strong but when winds came round, The shallow rooted ones fall.

So let every man with ears now hear, And take this lesson to heart,
It's not what you show when the skies are clear, But the depth of your roots from the start.

For the winds will blow and the storms will come, And beat on the life you've made,
And only the deep rooted will overcome, While the shallow ones start to​


Did you write that poem? It's really very nice!

If not keeping Shabbat is equivalent to "idolatry" then Shabbat breaking is (what some Churches call) a "mortal sin" which is defined as a gravely sinful act which can lead to damnation if a person does not repent of the sin before death. However, when I read Jesus' description of what a person will be called into account for in the Last Judgment I read nothing whatsoever about keeping Shabbat.

So you believe a person who does not following "every jot and tittle" of the Law will obtain no mercy from God when they appear before Him in the final judgment. However, if they simply refrain from work on Shabbat they WILL be able to enter into eternal life.
From what Jesus taught, I have always assumed that salvation was conditioned upon REPENTANCE and (personal) FAITH in Jesus. Was this not the Good News referred to in prophecy? This was the salvation Jesus and his disciples proclaimed to the world?
12 Salvation exists in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.
(Acts 4:12)

Philippians 2:9-11
Therefore God exalted Him to the highest place and gave Him the name above all names, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

1 Timothy 2:5
For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,

John 3:16-18
For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that everyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him. Whoever believes in Him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe has already been condemned, because he has not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.

Why would we want to serve someone else Isa 56:6 if we love Jesus. He invites everyone, but sadly many just do not like His condition John3:19-21.
You, apparently, are among those who do not like it that the CONDITIONS of SALVATION are not "keeping Shabbat" (along with every other jot and tittle of the Mosaic Law) rather than following the simple call to REPENTANCE and FAITH.

Rom 7:12-14
12 Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good. 14 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.


Rom 7:22-23 22 For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: 23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.

Paul delighted in the law in his heart.
In his heart he wanted to obey it.
But the flesh was warring against the Spirit.

Paul even admitted his wretched state of this flesh. We all have a flesh warring against the Spirit.

Rom 7:24-25
24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? 25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.

Who will deliver us from this body of death? Who will save us from the flesh? Who will free us from the war that the sinful side of our nature?

Verse 25 Thank God for Jesus Christ..

Rom 8:1-4
1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. 3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: 4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

By following the Spirit which is only possible through Christ, we are free from the law of sin and death.
"the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit."

We can keep the law and need to keep the law.

Rom 8:13-14
13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. 14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

Read all of the context for yourself.

The law is my delight. I still struggle with the flesh but when I surrender my self (die to self) and follow or walk in the Spirit the law is a natural fulfillment of the Power of Jesus in me.

All glory to Jesus.
 
You know, for a fact, that Gentiles never had a law concerning the sabbath day.
Ah ! Inquisitor ! We meet again ! ( and typical co- false prophets -> Cameron143 and Dino246 )
I'll re-post what I biblically reasoned for Dino246's benefit, and now for your benefit as well. ... Praying that you come over to the "religion of obedience" to God, rather than having this false Christian spirit of disobedience of the anti-LOVE, anti-Christ.

From the thread, " Faith or Law" ~~> Post #1,013
Your reasoning is flawed.
Faith is not obedience.
Like we've already pointed out. Your "fruits' or lack of fruits illustrate your having a religion (anti-Love spirit) of promoting /teaching disobedience and UN-righteousness, the two main characteristic of a False Prophet. ( Jeremiah 14:14, Matt 24:24, 2 Timothy 4:3-4 ETC )
(Dino - please from now on use scripture to reason your accusations, rather than your self-righteousness (your opinion)

1. False Prophets Matthew 7:15-20 " Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. You shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree brings forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree brings forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that brings not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
Why by their fruits you shall know them.


The Bible makes it clear that obedience is the natural fruit of true faith. Faith leads to transformation, and the evidence of this transformation is obedience to God’s law. A person with living faith will naturally obey God’s commands because they trust Him and His goodness.

"By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for His name."
This verse shows that obedience is the outgrowth of faith. Faith leads to a willingness to obey.
“But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith.”
Here, obedience is the fruit of the obedience of faith, indicating that faith and obedience are inseparable.

The Ten Commandments are God's direct moral law, given to humanity as a guide for living in harmony with Him and each other. Faith is demonstrated in obedience to these commands.

“If ye love me, keep my commandments.”
Jesus Himself says that obedience to His commandments is a natural response to LOVE for Him, which stems from faith in HIS Faith and HIS Righteousness
“For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments: and His commandments are not grievous.”
True love for God is demonstrated in obedience to His commandments. Here, John shows that loving God naturally leads to obedience. It is not burdensome because faith makes us desire to please God.

The Bible is clear that obedience is the natural outcome of true faith. Without it, faith is dead. A person cannot say they have genuine faith and disregard God’s commandments.

“Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.”
James teaches that faith without obedience (works) is dead. Faith that does not result in action is not true faith.
“But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?”
True faith results in action, and the action that results from faith is obedience to God's commandments.

Obedience to God’s law, including the Ten Commandments, is a test of faith. True faith cannot exist without obedience to God’s moral law. Faith in God’s ability to save us through Jesus Christ empowers us to live in harmony with His commandments.
  • “Christ did not come to destroy the law but to fulfill it. He fulfilled it in His life by perfect obedience, and He calls upon His followers to be obedient to the law of God.”
    The Desire of Ages, EGW p. 208.
Jesus lived out His faith through perfect obedience to the law, and we, as His followers, are called to do the same.


According to the Bible, NO. ... True obedience requires faith because obedience to God’s law is a response to His love and grace. If someone appears to obey the commandments without faith, their obedience is not genuine, but merely external.

“And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin.”
This verse teaches that anything done without faith is sin, including obedience. Without faith, obedience is not motivated by love for God and is therefore meaningless in His sight.
“But without faith it is impossible to please Him: for he that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him.”
This verse confirms that faith is foundational for pleasing God. Obedience that comes from a place of true faith is the kind that pleases God.

Faith and obedience go hand-in-hand. True faith is always demonstrated by obedience to God’s commandments, particularly the Ten Commandments. Obedience is the natural outgrowth of genuine faith in God’s power to save and in His law as a guide for righteous living.
  • Obedience is a response to God’s love and grace.
  • Faith enables obedience to God’s law, and obedience is the proof of genuine faith.
“Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?”
Faith and obedience (works) are interwoven—true faith cannot exist without it.
Thus, one cannot be obedient without faith because obedience springs from the confidence and trust in God’s ability to lead us to live according to His will. It is faith that empowers us to obey and walk in God’s commands.
“Obedience is the fruit of faith, and the only way to express that faith is by obeying the commandments of God.”
Steps to Christ, EGW p. 61
Faith and obedience are inseparable because obedience is the outward manifestation of genuine faith in God’s promises.

I pray this clarifies the relation between Faith and Obedience Folks. This Biblical reasoning is for the enlightenment of anyone thinking that they are being "Christian" while being disobedient to God = The Father, Son and Holy Ghost.

What fruit do you display in calling someone a false prophet falsely? What prophecy have I made?
 
How do you know what's in my heart? You are the one who believes you can change your own heart; not me. And if man can change his own heart, why does an individual need a savior or a covenant that promises a new heart?
If a divided heart exists between us, it surely is not mine.
Do have a question for you: do you believe the purpose of the law is so an individual can change their own heart?
You write what is in your heart every day and I see it all. On the threads, the wind blows one way you go that way, until it blows in another direction, then you follow that way. Your roots are not firmly grounded in the words of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, the cornerstone. Please do not take offence.

I wish you well, catch you later I am done for today

  • “Christ did not come to destroy the law but to fulfill it. He fulfilled it in His life by perfect obedience, and He calls upon His followers to be obedient to the law of God.”
    The Desire of Ages, EGW p. 208.
Jesus lived out His faith through perfect obedience to the law, and we, as His followers, are called to do the same.


6. Can Someone Be Obedient Without Faith?

True obedience requires faith because obedience to God’s law is a response to His love and grace. If someone appears to obey the commandments without faith, their obedience is not genuine, but merely external.




7. The Conclusion: Faith and Obedience Are Inseparable

Faith and obedience go hand-in-hand. True faith is always demonstrated by obedience to God’s commandments, particularly the Ten Commandments. Obedience is the natural outgrowth of genuine faith in God’s power to save and in His law as a guide for righteous living.
  • Obedience is a response to God’s love and grace.
  • Faith enables obedience to God’s law, and obedience is the proof of genuine faith.

Thus, one cannot be obedient without faith because obedience springs from the confidence and trust in God’s ability to lead us to live according to His will. It is faith that empowers us to obey and walk in God’s commands.

Faith and obedience are inseparable because obedience is the outward manifestation of genuine faith in God’s promises.

I pray this clarifies the relation between Faith and Obedience Folks. This Biblical reasoning is for the enlightenment of anyone thinking that they are being "Christian" while being disobedient to God = The Father, Son and Holy Ghost.

It wasn't necessary to post this in this thread the first time after posting it in another thread. Posting it here a second time just provides me a third opportunity to say that you failed to refute my statement.
 
Since you chose to repeat yourself in a second thread, I will repeat my conclusion: you failed to refute my statement.
I'm not going to play word games with you Dino...
I've biblically proved my assertion, of you and many others here in these forums being Biblical " False Prophets" for people to be ..
AWARE, & Forewarned.
Nud sed !
 
Ooops ! The quote DID NOT copy paste correctly, ... sorry ! Here's the proofed and corrected post.

Ah ! Inquisitor ! We meet again ! ( and typical co- false prophets -> Cameron143 and Dino246 )
I'll re-post what I biblically reasoned for Dino246's benefit, and now for your benefit as well. ... Praying that you come over to the "religion of obedience" to God, rather than having this false Christian spirit of disobedience of the anti-LOVE, anti-Christ.

From the thread, " Faith or Law" ~~> Post #1,013

Like we've already pointed out. Your "fruits' or lack of fruits illustrate your having a religion (anti-Love spirit) of promoting /teaching disobedience and UN-righteousness, the two main characteristic of a False Prophet. ( Jeremiah 14:14, Matt 24:24, 2 Timothy 4:3-4 ETC )
(Dino - please from now on use scripture to reason your accusations, rather than your self-righteousness (your opinion)

1. False Prophets Matthew 7:15-20 " Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. You shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree brings forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree brings forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that brings not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
Why by their fruits you shall know them.


2. Faith Is the Root; Obedience Is the Fruit

The Bible makes it clear that obedience is the natural fruit of true faith. Faith leads to transformation, and the evidence of this transformation is obedience to God’s law. A person with living faith will naturally obey God’s commands because they trust Him and His goodness.




3. Obedience to God’s Commandments: A Clear Manifestation of Faith

The Ten Commandments are God's direct moral law, given to humanity as a guide for living in harmony with Him and each other. Faith is demonstrated in obedience to these commands.




4. Faith Without Obedience: A Dead Faith

The Bible is clear that obedience is the natural outcome of true faith. Without it, faith is dead. A person cannot say they have genuine faith and disregard God’s commandments.

Still no comment on what fruit is on display when you falsely accuse others of being false prophets? What prophecy did I make?

Your "fruits" of agreeing with Dino246 ( a false prophet ) who "promotes & teaches disobedience and UN-righteousness," makes you a false prophet s well.. Sorry, but that is just how Righteousness works.

A false prophet must have a false prophecy, no?

As you repeat your baseless slander you just store up judgement for yourself.

I know the truth hurts you, tis completely against your worldly religious paradigm,
and you'd rather not I point out your condition in public,
but I'm obligated by God to warn people.
The Last Warning, given by God to this dying world, JUST before our Lord & King returns

Revelation 14:6-7

v6 And I saw another angel fly in the middle of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach to them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, ( <~~ my service )
v7 Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters. ( <~~ referencing the Sabbath )

Gotta go .. Sabbath is about over ... Nite Folks
