The Ten Commandments are the Covenant, did you know?

[TMS]

No, the issue is cults that twist God's word and try to impose their false doctrines on others. Some of us are awake to you.

I'll say it again, not for you but for some who might fall for your selective interpretation of scripture. "Hear O Israel". Not, "Hear O Gentiles"

The law came through Moses; grace and truth through Jesus Christ. John 1:17.

We are all one in Christ.

Gentile and Israel division is a tool of the Devil.

Rom 10:12-13
12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. 13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

We are one in Christ
Saved by faith.

Many of the promises to Israel are fulfilled in Christ or are going to be fullfilled in those that are adopted into the family.

Rom 9:6-7
6 Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel: 7 Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called.

Though Christ Jesus.. we are the sons of God.

Rom 9:24-26
24 Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles? 25 As he saith also in Osee, I will call them my people, which were not my people; and her beloved, which was not beloved. 26 And it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people; there shall they be called the children of the living God.

They be called the children of the living God.

Everyone that by faith accepts Jesus is called a child of God.

Jesus gave the 10 commandments.
Jesus lived the 10 commandments.
Jesus told us to keep the 10 comm.

But it is by faith through The power of Jesus Christ, faith in Christ living in us that we come to reflect His image.

Faith without works is dead.
The law does not save and our own works do not save us.

Faith in Jesus saves us but if you continue in sin and iniquity you will not be saved.

Mat 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

You don't do works or obey the commandments to be saved. You obey because you LOVE Jesus.

Joh 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.

You do not know what it means to be saved. Since you've rejected what I've said previously, I won't go over it again.

 

[TMS]

You do not know what it means to be saved. Since you've rejected what I've said previously, I won't go over it again.

To be saved means to be rescued from the ruin and bondage of sin through the infinite sacrifice of Jesus Christ, who acts as your substitute and surety.
This comprehensive work of redemption restores you to the favour of God, giving you the power to overcome sinful habits and the promise of eternal life.
Romans 6:23

Salvation is a divine plan devised from all eternity to reveal God's love to humanity. It began in the Garden of Eden, where Adam was informed of a plan of redemption after his fall.
Genesis 3:24.
This plan required a great sacrifice = Jesus Christ, and His Blood.
Salvation is a free gift from God that cannot be earned by human works or merits; it is received through faith in Jesus Christ alone. Galatians 2:17.

Justice and Mercy are both important..
Through the cross, God can be just while also being the justifier of those who believe in Jesus.

To be saved is to be delivered from the consequences and the power of transgression, the "wages of sin is death,".

It rests with every individual whether Christ shall accomplish for them the salvation He is able to do.
We must choose His way over our own.

The saved individual seeks to follow the example of Christ, cultivating steadfast principles and a character that reflects His righteousness, John 17:19.

Am I to understand that you deny that Ellen White had the gift of prophecy and could understand the meaning of scriptures through visions and revelations?

Despite your belief that the goal of redemption was to restore mankind to favor with God and that salvation cannot be earned but can only be received only by faith you also you seem to have aligned yourself with those who believe salvation is obtained through REPENTANCE, FAITH plus keeping certain practices of the Mosaic Law, (such as keeping Shabbat). My question is, where did Jesus ever command those He commissioned to take the gospel of salvation to the nations EVER tell them to include keeping Shabbat as a requirement for entering the Kingdom of God and inheriting eternal life? I have yet to find such a command.

When the Apostles encountered the Judaizers who taught that before Gentiles could become part of the New Covenant they had to submit to the practices of the prior covenants such as keeping the festivals, eating kosher, and, most of all circumcision. However, after the Apostles and Elders met and deliberated they decided that these things would NO LONGER BE REQUIRED of anyone who wanted to be partakers of the New Covenant which Christ had inaugurated by His blood.
This was perfectly consistent with what Jeremiah had said:

31Behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah.
32 It will not be like the covenant I made with their fathers when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt—a covenant they broke, though I was a husband to them,” declares the LORD.…(Jeremiah 31:31-32)

Although the prophet said the New Covenant would NOT BE LIKE the former one, it seems that many have dedicated themselves to make it as much like the former as possible even to the point of commanding other believers to keep Shabbat which was never COMMANDED of believers under the New Covenant. The covenant Jesus made with us was based upon His sacrifice and exemplified by an inward change wrought by the Spirit.

You are not understanding things correctly.
The keeping of the law, the repentance comes as a natural result of your love for God.

Because you love God, you repent and turn from your evil ways..

When you are filled with the Spirit of God your delight is in obedience to the laws of God.

We obey the law because we are saved by grace and we obey by claiming the promises by faith, and we do this because of what Jesus done for us.

A Love response to God's great Love.

Jimi, Yes repentance is expected of us Jesus started his Ministry with "repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand"

You are correct in what you wrote about some of the items of the law of Moses that pointed to Christ ( the shadow) but the COVENANT is the TEN COMMANDMENTS, ( put in our hearts and minds = NEW COVENANT) you omitted the most important part of Jer 31, verse 33!

Jer 31:33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.

you cannot escape it either you accept it and Live, Jesus said so clearly. Will you listen to what Christ said ( the narrow path that leads to eternal life) or will you ignore him? (The narrow path that leads to spiritual death?)

Stop Fighting what Jesus said and Listen to him!!!

All authority in Heaven and earth was given to him!

It is BY HIS WORDS that we all shall be judged!

I agree with not following the cerimonial laws.
The laws of ordinance that the Jewish people were enforcing were not needed.

Jesus had come and their faith needed to be in the blood of Jesus not the blood of animals..
Circumcision of the heart. Not the outward....Rom 2:29 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.
The Jews did not accept Jesus as the lamb of God so they continued to push their types and shadows.

The bible is clear that these shadow ordinances were only in place until the cross. Eph 2:15, Col 2:14.

The Judaizers missed the Messiah and what all the cerimonial ordinances pointed to.

Do you believe that the 10 commandments are important moral principles to obey today.

Some... 9 of the 10
All. ... all 10
Or non. .... Zero of them

Happy Sabbath

Church is about to start..
I better get ready.

Have a nice day.

We are all one in Christ.

I am definately not one with Sabbatarians. Nor am I one with people who believe the covenant in the New Testament is actually the covenant God made with Israel thousands of years ago.

Going to church or worshipping on Saturday is not the problem. The problem is saying people who attend church on Sunday represent the mark of the beast. So yeah, not one with those people.

26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

I know you do not believe the same things. But at least you have been warned.
Eph 4:15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:
Rev 3:19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten:

 

[SabbathBlessing]

There's some misunderstanding about the mark of the beast- its not about simply going to church on Sunday. The mark of the beast has not been implemented yet because we have freedom to choose to to go to church on any day of the week. The mark of the beast is over worship. Do we worship God our Creation Exo20:11 Rev14:7 or worship the one who changed God's times and laws Dan7:25. Worship is about who is our authority, which comes down to who do we obey, whoever we obey is who we serve Rom6:16KJV

Rev 13: 4 So they worshiped the dragon who gave authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?”

8 All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

15 He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed. 16 He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, 17 and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

Rev 14: “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.” -echoing the 4th commandment Exo20:11

9 Then a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark on his forehead or on his hand, 10 he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out full strength into the cup of His indignation. He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. 11 And the smoke of their torment ascends forever and ever; and they have no rest day or night, who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name.”

and the only antidote to this is found in the very next verse

Rev 14:12 Here is the patience of the saints; here are those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus

Why Jesus related false worship to keeping traditions of man over obeying the commandments of God.

Mark 7:7 And in vain they worship Me,
Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’
8 For laying aside the commandment of God, you hold the tradition of men


There is no commandment to keep the first day holy in the entire Bible but there is to keep the seventh day Sabbath holy- spoken by God written by God.

Exo 20:1 And God spoke all these words, saying:

8 “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. 11 For 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.

Sadly another voice of authority came along and changed what God said even if we do not realize it if we keep Sunday over the Sabbath which is a commandment of God we are serving the authority of who changed God's times and laws as we were warned Dan7:25

It is well to remind the Presbyterians, Baptists, Methodists, and all other Christians, that the Bible does not support them anywhere in their observance of Sunday. Sunday is an institution of the Roman Catholic Church, and those who observe the day observe a commandment of the Catholic Church.
—Priest Brady, in an address, reported in the Elizabeth, NJ ‘News’ on March 18, 1903.

Deny the authority of the Church and you have no adequate or reasonable explanation or justification for the substitution of Sunday for Saturday in the Third - Protestant Fourth - Commandment of God... The Church is above the Bible, and this transference of Sabbath observance is proof of that fact.'
—Catholic Record, September 1, 1923.

If Protestants would follow the Bible, they would worship God on the Sabbath Day. In keeping the Sunday they are following a law of the Catholic Church.
—Albert Smith, Chancellor of the Archdiocese of Baltimore, replying for the Cardinal, in a letter dated February 10, 1920.

The mark of the beast is over worship, whoever we obey is who we serve. The mark of the beast is not from God so only they can tell us what is their mark and they have boldly and plainly

Of course the Catholic Church claims that the change was her act. And the act is a mark of her ecclesiastical power and authority in religious matters. (over God's Exo20:8-11)
—C. F. Thomas, Chancellor of Cardinal Gibbons, in answer to a letter regarding the change of the Sabbath, November 11, 1895

God invited everyone to serve Him:

56 Thus says the LORD:

6 “Also the sons of the foreigner
Who join themselves to the LORD, to serve Him,
And to love the name of the LORD, to be His servants—
Everyone who keeps from defiling the Sabbath,
And holds fast My covenant—

The USA was found on religious freedom - on protestant values. Now the majority of people who are in control of government is Catholic. Everyone on the supreme court is Catholic, our President's wife is Catholic, the Vice President is Catholic - there is a national movement who wants to enforce the Blue Laws of a National Sunday Law. Where in the Bible are we told to rest on the first day? Not once its the exact opposite of what God said and did. Heb4:4 Exo20:8-11 Gen2:1-3 Exo20:9

We do not make laws without enforcing them. It might seem nice at first a unified day of rest, not the day God said, but man. But when they start implementing forced Sunday worship that's when the mark of the beast will take affect and we will have to decide which voice is our master and who do we serve- the God who made Rev14:7 Exo20:11 or what man says. The Bible warned us what would happen to those who keep God's commandments Rev12:17 its not the easy path, but Jesus never told us to take the easy path Mat7:13-14. Man will win the war, but will not win the battle, we just have to decide where our loyalty is with- those who obey God's commandments the way He said or those who changed God's times and laws Dan 7:25 that the majority follow and serve even many without realizing it.

Many of the promises to Israel are fulfilled in Christ or are going to be fullfilled in those that are adopted into the family.

Faith in Jesus saves us but if you continue in sin and iniquity you will not be saved.

Mat 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

You don't do works or obey the commandments to be saved. You obey because you LOVE Jesus.

Joh 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.

You do not know the gospel. To you, it's about how well you behave. I know something that you do not. I know that Jesus is my life.

I no longer sweat about whether or not I'm obeying God. I can't even recite the 10 commandments in the right order. Do you not know that all who are in Christ Jesus are new creations? Do you know what that means in reality? Do you not know that the Law is obsolete and a shadow of the reality? I live by the much higher law, the law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus. You should try it sometime. Then you will know what good news really means.

Why? How I behave isn't going to gain salvation.. doing Christ's works and bearing His cross is a delight when you love the Lord Jesus.

True obedience is the heart's joyful response to God’s love, expressed through a life that is in harmony with His ten commandments.

Obedience is not a means of earning salvation, but rather the fruit of a saving relationship with Jesus Christ. When we love Him, we naturally desire to walk in His ways and reflect His character to the world.

The law of God is a transcript of His character and serves as the eternal standard for our lives. It reveals our duty to both God and our fellow man.
Love for God and Love for our neighbors.

Obedience is the very essence of why we were created. "Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man" Ecclesiastes 12:13.

The law is not an arbitrary set of rules but a perfect guide for the soul. "The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul" Psalm 19:7.

Jesus lived a life of perfect obedience as an example for us. "I delight to do your will, O my God: yes, your law is within my heart" Psalm 40:8.

Our actions reveal the true state of our hearts. True love for God is always demonstrated by a willingness to follow His instructions.
Jesus clearly identified the link between affection and action. John 14:15.

Obedience allows us to remain in close communion with our Saviour. "If you keep my commandments, you shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love" John 15:10.

Scripture defines the love of God through our loyalty to His precepts. "For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous" 1 John 5:3.

God has provided specific signs of our allegiance to Him, chief among them being the Sabbath, which commemorates His power as both Creator and Sanctifier.

Keeping the Sabbath is a sign that it is the Lord who makes us holy. "Verily my sabbaths you shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that you may know that I am the LORD that does sanctify you" Exodus 31:13.

In the final days of earth's history, God’s people are identified by their steadfast obedience. "And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war
with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ" Revelation 12:17.
The final conflict develops a class of people who remain loyal despite opposition. "Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus" Revelation 14:12.

We cannot keep the law in our own strength; it is only through the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit that true obedience becomes possible.

When we walk by the Spirit, we are no longer under the condemnation of the law because we are fulfilling its righteousness. "That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit" Romans 8:4.

Choosing to follow God’s path leads to peace, prosperity, and the eventual gift of eternal life.

Disregard for God's law leads to unrest, but obedience brings tranquility. "O that you had listened to my commandments! then had your peace been as a river, and your righteousness as the waves of the sea" Isaiah 48:18.

The ultimate gift for a life of faithful obedience through Christ is entrance into the Holy City. "Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city" Revelation 22:14.

Eph 4:15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:
Rev 3:19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten:

Have you actually been baptized into Christ? From where I sit, it seems you may have actually been baptized into Ellen White.

Those who follow false religions are not a part of the body of Christ. Take it on home.

 

[pinebeach]

We obey the law because we are saved by grace and we obey by claiming the promises by faith, and we do this because of what Jesus done for us.

You have never obeyed the law. A person who tries to live by the law is cursed. Doesn't look too good for you. You are not a truthful person or you would acknowledge that it has been stated over and over that believers in Christ do not go around sinning

Anyway, you follow a shadow that reveals you do not understand faith or all Jesus accomplished.


10For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse; for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who does not continue in all things which are written in the book of the law, to do them.” 11But that no one isjustified by the law in the sight of God is evident, for “the just shall live by faith.” 12Yet the law is not of faith, but “the man who does them shall live by them.”

13Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”), 14that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. Gal. 3:10

 

[pinebeach]

When you are filled with the Spirit of God your delight is in obedience to the laws of God.

Your delight should be in Christ and not a law He died to save you from. Wake up.

Anyway, spend your time on here promoting a false prophet. That's a great way to enjoy your (cough cough) 'sabbath'

Jesus clearly identified the link between affection and action. John 14:15.

Obedience allows us to remain in close communion with our Saviour. "If you keep my commandments, you shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love" John 15:10.

Scripture defines the love of God through our loyalty to His precepts. "For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous" 1 John 5:3.

God has provided specific signs of our allegiance to Him, chief among them being the Sabbath, which commemorates His power as both Creator and Sanctifier.

Keeping the Sabbath is a sign that it is the Lord who makes us holy. "Verily my sabbaths you shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that you may know that I am the LORD that does sanctify you" Exodus 31:13.

In the final days of earth's history, God’s people are identified by their steadfast obedience. "And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war
with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ" Revelation 12:17.
The final conflict develops a class of people who remain loyal despite opposition. "Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus" Revelation 14:12.

We cannot keep the law in our own strength; it is only through the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit that true obedience becomes possible.

When we walk by the Spirit, we are no longer under the condemnation of the law because we are fulfilling its righteousness. "That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit" Romans 8:4.

Choosing to follow God’s path leads to peace, prosperity, and the eventual gift of eternal life.

Disregard for God's law leads to unrest, but obedience brings tranquility. "O that you had listened to my commandments! then had your peace been as a river, and your righteousness as the waves of the sea" Isaiah 48:18.

The ultimate gift for a life of faithful obedience through Christ is entrance into the Holy City. "Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city" Revelation 22:14.

There is so much wrong with this, but a couple are most notable:

...obedience is not the essence of why we were created
...obedience does not allow us to remain in communion with God. Rather, communion with God allows us to be obedient

How do you know in any given moment that you are loving God and loving your neighbor?
