I took you off ignore long enough to say this- how can anyone " prove these truths wrong " when you pluck verses out of context, write in your own commentary, and call it truth??

if you are going to just make the Word say whatever you want, buy these methods, you will always be " right " and everyone else will be wrong.

you know what the talmid says about Jesus, because it clearly states it. why can you not carry that same thought process into the Book about Him?
So what part is wrong? Is it what the Bible says the New Covenant is? Is it what the Bible says about the Priesthood? It seems I am only speaking against your ancient religious traditions, not what the Whole Bible teaches. If you can show otherwise please do.


I'm still waiting for you to tell me why the Pope if a false preacher and why the Catholic doctrine is a false doctrine. This will explain a lot.

Jesus fulfills the law in all of us, not us. We are not under the law, but we are expected to at least obey Him.

How can anyone obey Him if they do not know what He teaches?
i assumed you not kill sabbath violator, is that mean you teach against the law of God?

your question: " how can anyone obey Him if they do not know what He teach?" Remind me to loveGodforever. He repeated this question again and again.

Seem to me with this question you want to tell others that SDA know the teaching of Jesus, and it is observe Saturday sabbath but not kill violator. Am I correct? It this what you mean by know His teaching?

if one not observe Saturday sabbath you call him teach again God, because it is in the stone, but if one not kill sabbath violator you call it teach the will of God.

kill sabbath violator is also the written instruction of God. What is the different?

is that because written on the animal skin, make it not from God?

What are you talking about? You have just shown Grandpa and the Hebrews quote to be correct.
You only say this because you don't separate the Priesthood and it's duties from the rest of God's Instructions for the people. The Hebrews author, Paul, Jesus, Peter, Moses, and the entire Bible understands and separates them. But you don't, and neither does GP.

We are all condemned by the law until we come to Jesus believing and in repentance. Then we are redeemed from the law.

Those who do not come to Christ for forgiveness of sins are still under the law.
I don't think it is accurate to preach that Jesus freed us from God's Instructions, rather, He freed us from the death our rebellion caused us so we can repent and start anew.

Men's religious traditions have transgressed God's Commandments since Cain. Men have also used God's Words to justify their religious traditions since Eve listened to the serpent.

I don't believe the preaching that Jesus came to save us from God's Laws. But many people do.

Instead of the OT laws that condemn, Jesus gave us new laws that we CAN keep if we have a mind to.

Jesus Christ is all of the Word......He does not lie.

Psa 119:1 Aleph. Blessed are they that are perfect in the way, Who walk in the law of Jehovah.
Psa 119:2 Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, That seek him with the whole heart.
Psa 119:3 Yea, they do no unrighteousness; They walk in his ways.
Psa 119:4 Thou hast commanded us thy precepts, That we should observe them diligently.
Psa 119:5 Oh that my ways were established To observe thy statutes!
Psa 119:6 Then shall I not be put to shame, When I have respect unto all thy commandments.
Psa 119:7 I will give thanks unto thee with uprightness of heart, When I learn thy righteous judgments.
Psa 119:8 I will observe thy statutes: Oh forsake me not utterly.
I wish the one who wrote the Psalm was on this forum. Who do you think wrote it JaumeJ?

You only say this because you don't separate the Priesthood and it's duties from the rest of God's Instructions for the people.
if the people you are talking to are a priesthood, wouldn't it be quite the error to think to separate God's instruction in this way?
((i.e. think to remove a certain subset of jots and tittles))

But ye are
a chosen generation,
a royal priesthood,
an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: Which in time past were not a people, but are now
the people of God:
which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.

(1 Peter 2:9-10)

Instead of the OT laws that condemn, Jesus gave us new laws that we CAN keep if we have a mind to.
This is ignoring what is going to happen whenthe Messiah returns.

[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Revelation 22:11-15, “He who does wrong, let him do more wrong; he who is filthy, let him be more filthy; he who is righteous, let him be more righteous; he who is set-apart, let him be more set-apart. And see, I am coming speedily, and My reward is with Me, to give to each according to his work. “I am the ‘Aleph’ and the ‘Taw’, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last. Blessed are those doing His commands, so that the authority shall be theirs unto the tree of life, and to enter through the gates into the city. But outside are the dogs and those who enchant with drugs, and those who whore, and the murderers, and the idolaters, and all who love and do falsehood.”[/FONT]



[FONT=Times New Roman, serif]Matt 13:41-43, "The Son of Man will send his angels, and they will gather out of his kingdom all causes of sin and all law-breakers, and throw them into thefiery furnace. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear."

[/FONT]


and it's the same Law, Messiah simply explained it the proper way.

[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."

I don't think it is accurate to preach that Jesus freed us from God's Instructions, rather, He freed us from the death our rebellion caused us so we can repent and start anew.
i don't believe the gospel is "a second chance to be justified by works of the law" or "a way to become a pharisee without Levites"

I don't believe the preaching that Jesus came to save us from God's Laws. But many people do.
i believe that's at least as gross a mischaracterization of what many people actually believe as what i just wrote.

You are not fooling me and if I wanted to listen to religious man then I would have remained a member of the Roman Catholic church and an unbeliever who was "religious" but not right with God.
I see very little difference between your religion and that of the Catholic church. You may have changed the name, but much of your preaching remains the same.

Just because Romans 1:17 says "the righteousness of God is revealed" and ends with "the just shall live by faith" and Habakkuk 2:4 says "the just shall live by faith" does not mean the Gospel of Christ that Paul preached (Romans 1:16; 1 Corinthians 15:1-4) is preached in Habakkuk 2:4 and all throughout the Old Testament. Can you show me the word "Gospel" in the Old Testament? Only one spirit would want to pervert the Gospel and it isn't the Spirit of Christ (Galatians 1:6-9).
Can you show me one place in the Old Testament where the term "Old Testament" exists? I do not pervert the Gospel of Christ, I just don't believe in your gospel because you preach so many things that are false.

The "just shall live by faith" is true of all believers, but is not the specific "good news" of the death, burial and resurrection of Christ (Romans 1:16; 1 Corinthians 15:1-4) and that the Gentiles should be fellow heirs, of the same body, and partakers of His promise in Christ through the Gospel (Ephesians 3:6) that Paul preached. That is not preached in the Old Testament because it was still a mystery (Ephesians 3:1-9).
The preaching that the Messiah would be a lowly, unattractive common man, that would teach true Salvation to both the Jews and the Gentiles was first preached by the Word which became Flesh through His Prophets in what Paul taught is the Gospel of Christ. The teaching that He and His Words would be despised by religious man, and ridiculed and mocked and murdered by those who claimed to be God's Children was first taught by the Word which became Flesh through His Prophets of old.

Your preaching:
that the Gentiles should be fellow heirs, of the same body, and partakers of His promise in Christ through the Gospel (Ephesians 3:6) that Paul preached. That is not preached in the Old Testament because it was still a mystery
Is yet another example or your false gospel with it's false doctrines one right after another..

This is why I warn people against your religion MMD. Because it is your gospel, not the one Paul taught. For you to preach that the Word which became Flesh didn't teach about salvation for the Gentiles through the Law and Prophets is not true as the following scriptures clearly show.

Is. 11:10 And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious.

Is. 42:1 Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.2 He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street.
3 A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth.
4 He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set judgment in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his law.

6 I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles;
7 To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.

Is. 54:2 Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes;
3 For thou shalt break forth on the right hand and on the left; and thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited.

Is. 60:1 Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee.
2 For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.
3 And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising. (Resurrection)

Is. 66:12 For thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the Gentiles like a flowing stream: then shall ye suck, ye shall be borne upon her sides, and be dandled upon her knees.
13 As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you; and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem.

Jer. 16:19 O LORD, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction, the Gentiles shall come unto thee from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit.

You preach these Word's don't exist in the Law and Prophets. To the blind they don't.

Eph. 3:5 Which in other ages was not made knownunto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;
6 That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:

The Gospel, Old Testament writings.

Luke 24:25 Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken:
26 Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?
27 And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.

The Word which became Flesh teaches us that this mystery was revealed by the Spirit. It was there in the Gospel of Christ as the above scriptures clearly teach, but was not revealed to the "SONS OF MEN".

You are the perfect example of this. The scriptures I posted are in your Bible, you have read them over and over. But to this day you have not "seen" them. To the point that your are still preaching they are not there. Paul, before His Conversion, did not "SEE" them either. Because they were not revealed to him until his conversion.

But Zechariahs knew of this mystery.

Luke 1:5 There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth.
6 And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.

Luke 1:67 And his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Ghost, and prophesied, saying,
68 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and redeemed his people,

69 And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David;
70 As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began:

78 Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us,

79 To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.

There were others who knew Him as well.

1 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,
2 Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.

You might ask yourself why did these wise men and Zechariahs know who Jesus was but the Pharisees that you preach were trying to earn salvation by following God's Laws did not. Sadly most will just ignore the very relevant post and work to defend their own religious preaching, and save their own face, regardless of what the scriptures teach.

If you can't come to terms regarding your false preaching in this matter, there is no use commenting on your other words.

i don't believe the gospel is "a second chance to be justified by works of the law" or "a way to become a pharisee without Levites"



i believe that's at least as gross a mischaracterization of what many people actually believe as what i just wrote.
ut if we are being realistic, anyone preaching that "the MOst High's Law is nailed to the cross, done away by Jesus sacrifice, or blotted out in any way" is indeed preaching something very close if not exactly what Studyman said. realistically if He came to abolish His Father;s Law then in practice that is what is happening. In It is not and did not but that is what most preach.

No.

James is teaching grace to the church, If you understood the law. You would understand this, But you can not comprehend the fact that as paul said

Rom 4: [SUP]15 [/SUP]because the law brings about wrath; for where there is no law there is no transgression.
If you knew the law you'd know that James is in fact teaching the church to obey the law:


"believers in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ must not show favoritism.2Suppose a man comes into your meeting wearing a gold ring and fine clothes, and a poor man in filthy old clothes also comes in. 3If you show special attention to the man wearing fine clothes and say, “Here’s a good seat for you,” but say to the poor man, “You stand there” or “Sit on the floor by my feet,” 4have you not discriminated among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts?"-James 2:1-4

Here it is in the law:

"you shall not be partial to the poor nor defer to the great, but you are to judge your neighbor fairly."-Leviticus 19:15




He would be putting them under the condemnation of the law if he told them to keep these various laws in order to be justified (MADE righteous). But as it is, he is not doing it for that reason. He is explaining to them that showing no favoritism is HOW you keep the law 'love your neighbor as yourself'.


"8If you really keep the royal law found in Scripture, “Love your neighbor as yourself,”[SUP]a[/SUP] you are doing right. 9But if you show favoritism, you sin and are convicted by the law as lawbreakers."-James 2:8-9


See, the church thinks all you have to do is 'love your neighbor as yourself', not knowing that keeping the other laws, like the law forbidding favoritism, is how you do that. James is explaining that you aren't keeping the law 'love your neighbor as yourself' if you are not keeping the law to not show favoritism. See, loving others UPHOLDS the law of Moses, not replaces or negates it as the church thinks.

We have to be careful of terminology.

Christ really does abolish various laws. What he did not come to do is destroy any law.

Abolish simply means 'to set aside as obsolete and unneeded now'. Christ did indeed do that. The laws concerning the necessity to sacrifice an animal for the forgiveness of sin is the premier example of that. He did not destroy that law. He simply made it so it is not necessary to do those laws anymore. He made them obsolete--he nullified and abolished them, but he surely did not make it so they are destroyed and trampled down to the ground in defiant disobedience. That he did NOT come to do. He simply made them obsolete.


And in regard to rabbinical law. The people of God were indeed bound by rabbinical judgments concerning matters of the law (don't touch, don't taste, etc.). But what power do those judgments have now that the actual laws of Moses they address are now obsolete and not required to be done anymore? None, of course. And so these powers and authorities have been rendered powerless and unable to judge the people of God anymore in regard to the things in the law which the people of God no longer HAVE to do because their faith in Christ has accomplished perfectly and forever what those things sought to do.

MMD continued;
The New Covenant is the replacement of the Old Covenant (Hebrews 8:13). Who is trying to replace the entire old testament and why are you so in love with the old testament? Because it contains the law and you are seeking justification by the law? I have bad news for you if that's the case.
You have not even addressed the Jer. 31 promise and what it say the New Covenant is which is a change in the Priesthood, not God's Commandments for men, and Heb. 7 confirms that.. You must deflect and discredit, I expect nothing more.

Paul said a little leaven leavens the whole lump. Jesus said to beware the leaven of the Mainstream Religious preachers of His time.

We know you preach the Pharisees were trying to "earn" Salvation by following God's Laws. The Scriptures prove this as false.

WE know you preach the Law and Prophets didn't teach about the Messiah bringing Salvation to the Gentiles. The Scriptures prove this false as well.

You preach the Gospel of Christ is not the Word's of the Law and Prophets which Paul said was written for our admonition. This too is proven false by the scriptures.

I know if I followed your worldly accepted religion with your worldly accepted High Days you created, with your worldly accepted images of your handsome Jesus and your worldly accepted doctrine which omits most of the Bible, I could fit in.

But then I think about the Gospel of Christ and all the Examples of Faith that He had written for us.

Heb. 12:1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
2 Looking unto Jesus (The Word which became Flesh) the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.


3 For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.

4 Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.

No MMD, you are welcome to your religion that the world accepts. I'm going to stick to the Word which became Flesh. I know this is not a popular "path" as history clearly shows.

I'm not perfect, but I know the Word which became Flesh knows more than me. I'll let Him guide my footsteps.




"He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenantnot of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills...the ministry that brought death, which was engraved in letters on stone...the ministry that condemns" (2 Corinthians 3:6-9).

The law on our heart and mind is the love of the Spirit, not the law of the letter. This is why Paul tells us that the new covenant is a covenant of the Spirit, and not of the letter.

Jesus did not teach the law.
Well, actually he did:

"27“You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’[SUP]e[/SUP] 28But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart."-Matthew 5:27

Here it is in the law:

"You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife"-Exodus 20:17



Yes, Christ fulfilled the law. He made it so that when God looks at you He sees perfect righteousness as if you had kept the law.

The problem is, the church thinks 'Christ fulfilled the law for us' means you now don't have to do what it says to do. Yes, some things you don't HAVE to do, but you do in fact have to do what the law says. We are to keep the law forbidding favoritism. We are to keep the law to not lust after our neighbor's wife. That is what 'love your neighbor as yourself does'. It upholds the law of Moses. It does not release you from it's requirements as so many think.




He taught mercy, love forgiveness, Serving people who hate you, loving your enemies.

The law does not teach those things.
Actually, it does teach those things...


mercy:

"12If the neighbor is poor, do not go to sleep with their pledge in your possession. 13Return their cloak by sunset so that your neighbor may sleep in it."-Deuteronomy 24:12


love:

"you shall love your neighbor as yourself"-Leviticus 19:18


forgiveness:

18‘You shall not take vengeance, nor bear any grudge against the sons of your people'-Leviticus 19:18


love and service for enemies:

4“If you come across your enemy’s ox or donkey wandering off, be sure to return it. 5If you see the donkey of someone who hates you fallen down under its load, do not leave it there; be sure you help them with it."-Exodus 23:4-5




It was not given for purposes of showing us what God wanted, Only to place us under wrath so we may find christ when he came.
Well, now that we can see Jesus and the Apostles did in fact use the law to show us what God wants from us we know that the law is for more than just condemning us as sinners and in need of redemption as the church teaches.

how are we all realistically not continuously living in sin on account of failing to sew tzitzit on the hem of all our garments?

I know who is credited with penning it, however all of the Word is from Jesus Christ........all of it.

I wish the one who wrote the Psalm was on this forum. Who do you think wrote it JaumeJ?

if the people you are talking to are a priesthood, wouldn't it be quite the error to think to separate God's instruction in this way?
((i.e. think to remove a certain subset of jots and tittles))

But ye are
a chosen generation,
a royal priesthood,
an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: Which in time past were not a people, but are now
the people of God:
which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.

(1 Peter 2:9-10)
Actually it is for this very reason that Jesus changed the Priesthood. No longer must I have a certain DNA as was instituted by God through Moses "till the Seed should Come". Now we all have access to the Priesthood if we have Faith in Him, (Not the image man created, but the WORD which became Flesh) as the scriptures teach. Our repentant life is in preparation for this Priesthood, as the Life of the Messiah was in preparation for His Priesthood.

Heb. 5:8 Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered;9 And being made perfect,(Through this obedience) he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;

1 Peter 2:5 Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.

Creating our own Path or our own laws, or High Days or Sabbaths have never been acceptable to God. Why you would believe doing such things now is acceptable seems foolish.

6 Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.

7 Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner,

8 And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.

There is a Path created by the Word which became Flesh that is acceptable to God, for us to "walk in". Some believe, but "MANY" who come in Christ's name do not.

It is this narrow Path that I strive to follow as did Jesus, Abel, Abraham, Ham's brothers, Caleb, Joshua, Rehab, Isaiah and all those mentioned in Hebrews 11.

As it is written;

Rom. 2:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

This is ignoring what is going to happen whenthe Messiah returns.

Revelation 22:11-15, “He who does wrong, let him do more wrong; he who is filthy, let him be more filthy; he who is righteous, let him be more righteous; he who is set-apart, let him be more set-apart. And see, I am coming speedily, and My reward is with Me, to give to each according to his work. “I am the ‘Aleph’ and the ‘Taw’, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last. Blessed are those doing His commands, so that the authority shall be theirs unto the tree of life, and to enter through the gates into the city. But outside are the dogs and those who enchant with drugs, and those who whore, and the murderers, and the idolaters, and all who love and do falsehood.”



Matt 13:41-43, "The Son of Man will send his angels, and they will gather out of his kingdom all causes of sin and all law-breakers, and throw them into thefiery furnace. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear."




and it's the same Law, Messiah simply explained it the proper way.

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."
How many times does this need to be said. Jesus redeems the repentant believer who comes to Him, but the wicked are still under the law, as the scriptures you posted unequivocally say.

On the other side of the coin we read:-

"For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth."(Rom 10:4 KJV)


"Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after that faith is come,we are no longer under a schoolmaster. For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus." (Gal 3:24-26 KJV)

Your religion is like a pantomime horse, you have the back end, but you are missing the front end where the brains are. At the head is the Lord. You have the shitty end. Stop riding the horse backwards. There is one place for the wicked under the law and there is a better place for the righteous under grace.
