I am so confused about this continuing statement that people who do not follow Hebrew roots deny sin. I certainly do not see it in this post. I have not seen any of the mainstream Christians deny that we sin and need to repent.
The entire Bible is the story of Jesus, who came to redeem us from sin. The Old Testament is about how Judah and Israel totally failed in most generations to serve and obey God. In fact, the worst sin was worshiping other gods.
The New Testament is filled with warnings to walk with God and repent if we fail.
"My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. [SUP]2 [/SUP]He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world."
I know I spend a lot of time confessing my sins daily and repenting, and that has born much fruit in my life. But obeying the Law of Moses or celebrating feast day are not defined as sin in the New Testament.
And yes, too much time spent on this topic. And sad that some people think they have to go back to the law, when Christ came to set us free from the law! (AND NOT SO WE WOULD SIN!! But instead so that we would follow Christ with all our hearts, minds souls and strength.)
It is the Holy Spirit that convicts, leads and guides and directs us. I have read the Bible at least 50 times, I know the laws and I know that I could never keep all those dietary and Levitical laws. But I can praise God that I do not have to, because:
"So if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed." John 8:36
I would highly appreciate it if the Hebrew Roots people would stop telling me that I do not believe in sin, or I am not walking with the Holy Spirit and trying to live my life totally for God. The more I read the Bible, the more I realize the awesomeness of Christ's death and resurrection.
“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. [SUP]17 [/SUP]For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him. [SUP]18 [/SUP]He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God." John 3:16-18
