Heres a great scripture. Forsake not the law. Fear the Lord, get wisdom and receive His grace.
We don't forsake the law, we fulfill it through Faith. Your the one who is judging our our 'observance'. Your using the condmenation of the Law to push others to salvation. Have you never heard that it's His kindness that leads to repentance?

You ignore so much of what Yeshua says, it's impossible to take you seriously at all.

Yeshua. Hes your redeemer? You were redeemed at the cross. Am i correct? Lets see what He says.

ISAIAH 48 [17] THUS SAITH THE LORD, THY REDEEMER, THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL; I am the LORD thy God which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go.[18] O THAT THOU HADST HEARKENED TO MY COMMANDMENTS! then had thy peace been as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea:

OK. So what does your Redeemer say about keeping the 10 commandments? Are you listening to Him?

Yes, I have a hold of His finger. He is leading me to living waters.

Read Jer 31:31-34
bugkiller

Jeremiah 31:31-34 (KJV)
31 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:
32 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD:
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.
34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.

Same as found in Hebrews 8. That covenant has not yet arrived

HEBREWS 8 [8] For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah: [9] Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord. [10] For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I WILL PUT MY LAWS INTO THEIR MIND, AND WRITE THEM IN THEIR HEARTS: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people: [11] And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest. [12] For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more. [13] In that he saith, A NEW COVENANT, HE HATH MADE THE FIRST OLD. NOW THAT WHICH DECAYETH AND WAXETH OLD IS READY TO VANISH AWAY.

Although we are to try and walk as if Gods law was written in our heart, has the covenant of Hebrews 8 already arrived?

Verse 8- I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:
Not a gentile mentioned anywhere. Are you from either house?

Verse 11- Does EVERYONE know the Lord? Not even close. There will come a time.

Verse 13- Hebrews 8 was written AFTER the crucified Christ and the scripture clearly says that the old covenant (10 commandments) is WAXING OLD and GETTING READY to vanish. Aint vanished yet! Yes there are some books that claim the ten are obsolete. In them same books youll find in Hebrews 4 the name of Jesus being change to Joshua for the same reason.

Verse 10- When God writes His commandments in our heart you can bet the ranch we will be keeping them. Yes, even His sabbath. When will God write His laws in our hearts? At the time He does this quote takes place.. " I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people". Its after the gathering of His people to the 1000yr period of rest.

EZEKIEL 36 [24] For I will take you from among the heathen, and GATHER YOU OUT OF ALL COUNTRIES, AND WILL BRING YOU INTO YOUR OWN LAND. [25] Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you. [26] A NEW HEART also will I give you, and A NEW SPIRIT will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. [27] And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them. [28] And ye shall dwell in the land that i gave to your fathers; and YE SHALL BE MY PEOPLE, AND I WILL BE YOUR GOD.

Heres another scripture pointing to when God will do heart surgery on us

DEUT. 30 [4] If any of thine be driven out unto the outmost parts of heaven, from thence will THE LORD THY GOD GATHER THEE, and from thence will he fetch thee: [5] And the Lord THY GOD WILL BRING THEE INTO THE LAND WHICH THY FATHERS POSSESSED, and thou shalt possess it; and he will do thee good, and multiply thee above thy fathers. [6] And the Lord THY GOD WILL CIRCUMCISE THINE HEART, and the heart of thy seed, to love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live. [7] And the Lord thy God will put all these curses upon thine enemies, and on them that hate thee, which persecuted thee. [8] And THOU SHALT RETURN AND OBEY THE VOICE OF THE LORD, AND DO ALL HIS COMMANDMENTS which I command thee this day.

The gathering to the 1000 yr period of rest. Verse 8- Yes.... that would be the 10 commandments. Does that include the sabbath

ISAIAH 66 [22] For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the Lord, so shall your seed and your name remain. [23] And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and FROM ONE SABBATH TO ANOTHER, SHALL ALL FLESH COME TO WORSHIP before me, saith the Lord.

YUP!

Happy to support my statement with Scripture. Ps 14:3, 53:3 and Rom 3:23

And...? Do you think God created man in such a way as to fall short? Do you think He wants man to stay that way? Does He want His creation to remain in a state of injustice, unaligned with His will?

:thumbsup:
One should start to see that the commandments mentioned in John at the last Passover (John 13-17) are closely associated with being One with God through Yeshua through Faith. Not the Law of Moses.

How do you attain faith and not keep the law?

GALATIANS 3[10] For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.[11] But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.[12] And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.[13] CHRIST HATH REDEEMED US FROM THE CURSE OF THE LAW, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:[14] That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; THAT WE MIGHT RECEIVE THE PROMISE OF THE SPIRIT THROUGH FAITH.

Christ did not come to destroy the law but came to redeem us from the curse of the law that we might recieve the promise of the spirit through FAITH. BUT...

GALATIANS 3 [23] But BEFORE FAITH CAME, WE WERE KEPT UNDER THE LAW, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed. [24] WHEREFORE THE LAW WAS OUR SCHOOLMASTER TO BRING US UNTO CHRIST, THAT WE MIGHT BE JUSTIFIED BY FAITH. [25] But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. [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.

This scripture says what it says. Before faith came to each and everyone of us, we are under the law (10 commandments). Then the scripture goes on to say the same thing again (in case you missed it the 1st time). We are under the law (our schoolmaster) UNTIL we are justified by faith. Faith is not something that you mysteriously attain attain at birth. So, according to this scripture you are kept under the law of the 10 commandments (the schoolmaster) until you are justified by faith in Christ. No shortcuts. Then there is no condemnation. After we have been brought to faith in Christ, do we then make void the law or are we to still be keeping Gods law?

ROMANS 3 [30] Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith. [31] DO WE THEN MAKE VOID THE LAW THROUGH FAITH? GOD FORBID: yea, we establish the law.

When we are one with God through Yeshua, we fulfill the law. Not the other way around. We don't observe the law, thus becoming one with God.

I believe it was Christ who fulfilled the law

MATT.5 [17] Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I AM NOT COME TO DESTROY, BUT TO FULFIL. [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.

What does Jesus say? First he says he has not come to destoy the law. Then he goes on to say the law is intact until heaven and earth pass. Has the earth passed? I know for a fact im still standing on this earth. So...Lets use some common sense. Jesus did fulfil the law and the law is still to be followed. It was not nailed to the cross as the "many" claim. So what did Jesus mean when he said he came to fulfill the law?

LUKE 24 [44] And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that ALL THINGS MUST BE FULFILLED, WHICH WERE WRITTEN IN THE LAW of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, CONCERNING ME.

Yeah, He came and fulfilled the prophecies of His coming which were written in the law concerning Him. The new covenant in His blood. The meat and drink offerings of the new moons, feast days and the sabbaths which were but a shadow of Christ

HEBREWS 9 [1] Then verily THE FIRST COVENANT HAD ALSO ORDINANCES of divine service, and a worldly sanctuary..... [9] Which was a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience;[10] WHICH STOOD ONLY IN MEATS AND DRINKS, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation....[12] NEITHER BY THE BLOOD OF GOATS AND CALVES, BUT BY HIS OWN BLOOD he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.

HEBREWS 10 [1] For THE LAW HAVING A SHADOW of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with THOSE SACRIFICES WHICH THEY OFFERED YEAR BY YEAR continually make the comers thereunto perfect.[2] For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins.[3] But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year.[4] For IT IS NOT POSSIBLE THAT THE BLOOD OF BULLS AND OF GOATS SHOULD TAKE AWAY SINS.

HEBREWS 10 [8] Above when he said, SACRIFICE AND OFFERING and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law; [9] Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. HE TAKETH AWAY THE FIRST, THAT HE MAY ESTABLISH THE SECOND. [10] By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

Hebrews 9 and 10 explain how Jesus fulfilled which was written of Him in the law. Its not the blood of bulls and goats anymore. They were the shadow of Christ which was written in the law... which He fulfilled

JOHN 6 [53] Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. [54] Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. [55] For MY FLESH IS MEAT INDEED, and MY BLOOD IS DRINK INDEED

Yes, and then it goes on to say:
" Therefore anyone who sets aside one of the least of these commands and teaches others accordingly will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20 For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven."

Jesus isn't telling us that we don't need to fulfill the law; He's showing us that the law can be fulfilled, and how to fulfill it, the right way. We're to follow Him in this. What is ultimately to be "accomplished" is the restoring of justice to God's creation, where He will again be the all in all.

You know that is true stone can not hurt you while is laying on the ground unless you fall on it. True a picture hang on the wall can not hurt you. IOW thihngs in and of themselves cannot hurt you. But do have the power to hurt you? Absoultely! when you interact with them in some way. The problem with the law is you interact with it liked or not. It is not the stone that hurts you it is the unavoidable interaction with the stone that does. It will do violence to you. In this case it is both spiritually/mentally and physically. Is this not hostile causing unfavourable as in detrimental transactions to an individual?

One may say adiltery has not hurt me. Really? Be honest. At the least it changes permently the relationship on every level with one's spouce and in some cases even causes death. One may also say such is not related to the law. Really? The law always wins unless one finds grace which voids the law. This holds true for any law anywhere a law has jurisdiction. The interesting thing is the law has no jurisdiction over the Christian. For the Christian the law has been revoked and has no jurisdiction/power.


if the law can affect without the presence of anyone, then why it has been written that there will be no who to stop the antichrists except the Lord Jesus Christ Himself?!

2 Thessalonians 2:7-9 "For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders"

and why during the old testament God said to the israelites that they must fulfil/execute the law by stoning, etc.?!

Deuteronomy 22:20-21 "But if this thing be true, and the tokens of virginity be not found for the damsel: Then they shall bring out the damsel to the door of her father's house, and the men of her city shall stone her with stones that she die: because she hath wrought folly in Israel, to play the harlot in her father's house: so shalt thou put evil away from among you."


But wait am I saying adultery still can not hurt an individual even as the law requires? No! This is because adultery is sin. Sin also destroys. Remember sin was present before the law. So sin is not only violation of the law. Most all sin also violates the law. No not all sin violates the law. Rom 14:23 ...for whatsoever is not of faith is sin. There is no point to be found in the law requiring faith i.e. thou shalt have faith. Yet lack of faith is sin.


if an adultery doesn't hurt any human, then it is not an adultery

Romans 13:8-10 "Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law. For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery(i.e. do not intrude/coerce/enslave), Thou shalt not kill(i.e. do not hurt/harm/murder), Thou shalt not steal(i.e. do not bereave/rob), Thou shalt not bear false witness(i.e. do not defame/slander/libel/vilify), Thou shalt not covet(i.e. do not curse/execrate/imprecate); and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law."

then if the infidel people are sinful only because they have no faith, then God would be unrighteous, because what of it if some humans do not believe, but do not cause hurt to another?!

Romans 2:14-29 "For when the Gentiles, which have not the law(i.e. when the infidel/non-occult people, viz. the ordinary users who do not practise faith/occultism), do by nature the things contained in the law(i.e. do not violate by nature the things in the Holy Law of (the) faith), these, having not the law(i.e. having not a religion/spirituality/occultism), are a law unto themselves: Which shew the work of the law(i.e. of the Holy Law) written in their hearts(i.e. in their insides/spirits), their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another; In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men(i.e. the human spiritual/religious/occult affairs) by Jesus Christ according to my gospel. Behold, thou art called a Jew(i.e. a cleric/believer), and restest in the law, and makest thy boast of God, And knowest his will, and approvest the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law; And art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them which are in darkness, An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, which hast the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law. Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal(i.e. do you bereave against the Will of God)? Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery(i.e. do you intrude/coerce/enslave)? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege(i.e. do you commit iniquity in the faith)? Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law(i.e. the Holy Law of (the) faith) dishonourest thou God? For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it is written. For circumcision(i.e. because the faith) verily profiteth, if thou keep the law(i.e. the Holy Law of (the) faith): but if thou be a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision(i.e. is (be-)come spiritual/religious iniquity). Therefore if the uncircumcision(i.e. if the infidel/non-occult human) keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision(i.e. its unbelief) be counted for circumcision(i.e. for faithfulness)? And shall not uncircumcision which is(i.e. infidel/non-occult human that is such) by nature, if it fulfil the law(i.e. after it does not violate the Holy Law of (the) faith), judge thee, who by the letter and circumcision dost transgress the law(i.e. the Holy Law of (the) faith)? For he is not a Jew(i.e. a righteous cleric/believer), which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: But he is a Jew(i.e. a righteous cleric/believer), which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart(i.e. of the faith), in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.",

Romans 3:1-31 "What advantage then hath the Jew(i.e. the cleric/believer)? or what profit is there of circumcision(i.e. of (the) faith/spiritual ministry)? Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them(i.e. unto the spiritual servants) were committed the oracles(i.e. the holy ministries) of God. For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith(i.e. the faithfulness) of God without effect? God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar(i.e. every human incompetent/incapable as opposed to Him); as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings(i.e. in Your Righteousness, which is the Word of complete salvation to all humans), and mightest overcome when thou art judged(i.e. when You are doing Your Act, which is the work on providing complete and eternal life to all humans). But if our unrighteousness commend the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who taketh vengeance? (I speak as a man) God forbid: for then how shall God judge the world? For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie unto his glory; why yet am I also judged as a sinner? And not rather, (as we be slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say,) Let us do evil, that good may come? whose damnation is just. What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews(i.e. both clerics/believers) and Gentiles(i.e. and disbelievers), that they are all under sin(i.e. under the system of spiritual/religious iniquity, some of them as its servants, while others of them as its victims); As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues(i.e. with their spiritual/religious activities) they have used deceit(i.e. they have done abuse/iniquity); the poison of asps is under their lips(i.e. there is unrighteousness in their vindication): Whose mouth(i.e. whose spiritual work) is full of cursing and bitterness: Their feet are swift to shed blood(i.e. they are fast to cause harm in their actions): Destruction and misery are in their ways: And the way of peace have they not known: There is no fear of God before their eyes. Now we know that what things soever the law(i.e. the Scripture) saith, it saith to them who are under the law(i.e. who are clerics/believers): that every mouth may be stopped(i.e. in order the whole spiritual/religious iniquity (to) be stopped), and all the world may become(i.e. because all kingdom of human(666) religion is) guilty before God. Therefore by the deeds of the law(i.e. by the deeds of human religion) there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law(or: by the human(666) spiritual/religious activity) is the knowledge of(i.e. is the fall under (the)) sin. But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law(i.e. by the Holy Tradition/Scripture) and the prophets(i.e. and the true prophets); Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe(viz. by all righteous believers and in all infidel people): for there is no difference: For all have sinned(i.e. because, whether or not, all people are incompetent/incapable as opposed to Him), and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness(i.e. His perfect love, viz. which is towards all humans): that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth(i.e. and justifier by those who believe) in Jesus. Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works(i.e. by human abilities)? Nay: but by the law of faith(i.e. but by the faithfulness to the perfect love). Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith(i.e. by Faithfulness) without the deeds of the law(viz. without a need of this some human to be a God, or of human intervention in the administrative Work(-s) of God). Is he the God of the Jews(i.e. of the clerics/believers) only? is he not also of the Gentiles(i.e. of the infidel people)? Yes, of the Gentiles also: Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision(i.e. the clerics/believers) by faith(i.e. by their right faith in Him), and uncircumcision(i.e. and the infidel humans) through faith(viz. being faithful to take care of them, having believe inside them in lieu of themselves). Do we then make void the law through faith(i.e. the Holy Law of (the) faith)? God forbid: yea, we establish the law."


Then the 10 Cs have no value in reality if your argument holds water. No the hostility (actual physical manifestations) between two things or people is a result of sin and not casued by the law. The law seeks to regulate sin out of existence. The law has failed miserably thanks to God's gift of free will that can not be rejected. This is the fault of the law: the law can not change the heart. (see Rom 8) Free will can be surendered by submission, but that is a choice of free will and submission can changed back to rebellion.

Now to tell some one not to do something is against/hostile to/inimical to them and their free will.


rather your arguments look like: "i never surrender my imposition"


Are you adding to the Scripture with your comments. Jesus' verbal conversation was - He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. There is no record of law discussion.

Your use of the Ten Commandments written with the Finger of God, one of which is: "Thou shalt not kill." violates the law's requirements as you have used it. This invalidates and makes the law worthless. Violation requires death administered by the law as mentioned in the quoted passage.

Now do you want to talk about cheap grace?

bugkiller


a "cheap grace" is when some pharisee (try to) make the Holy Commandments of God to be difficult or absurd, because Jesus Christ has clearly shown the importance of the Ten Commandments reminding about them by writing with His finger on the ground as the God wrote them on two tables of stone in the time of Moses, or why did Jesus begin to write with His finger on the ground exactly when the scribes and pharisees asked Him about the woman who was taken in adultery?!, was this idle?!

Yeshua. Hes your redeemer? You were redeemed at the cross. Am i correct? Lets see what He says.

ISAIAH 48 [17] THUS SAITH THE LORD, THY REDEEMER, THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL; I am the LORD thy God which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go.[18] O THAT THOU HADST HEARKENED TO MY COMMANDMENTS! then had thy peace been as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea:

OK. So what does your Redeemer say about keeping the 10 commandments? Are you listening to Him?
My Redeemer says nothing about obligation to the sabbath or the law. My Redeemer says But I say... right after quoting one of the commandments.

Jeremiah 31:31-34 (KJV)
31 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:
32 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD:
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.
34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.

Same as found in Hebrews 8. That covenant has not yet arrived
Jesus says it has in Mat 26:28, MK 14:24 and LK 22:20. Jesus also says all things concerning Him has been fulfilled allowing the passing of the law without the passing of the earth and heaven in LK 24:44.
HEBREWS 8 [8] For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah: [9] Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord. [10] For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I WILL PUT MY LAWS INTO THEIR MIND, AND WRITE THEM IN THEIR HEARTS: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people: [11] And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest. [12] For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more. [13] In that he saith, A NEW COVENANT, HE HATH MADE THE FIRST OLD. NOW THAT WHICH DECAYETH AND WAXETH OLD IS READY TO VANISH AWAY.

Although we are to try and walk as if Gods law was written in our heart, has the covenant of Hebrews 8 already arrived?
According to my Redeemer it has as noted above.
Verse 8- I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:
Not a gentile mentioned anywhere. Are you from either house?
Nope. Have you read Acts? What about the Gospels? Jesus says whosoever will if I am not mistaken. How can this be taken to mean only if a Jew does?
Verse 11- Does EVERYONE know the Lord? Not even close. There will come a time.
Currently I do not have a response or explanation for this.
Verse 13- Hebrews 8 was written AFTER the crucified Christ and the scripture clearly says that the old covenant (10 commandments) is WAXING OLD and GETTING READY to vanish. Aint vanished yet! Yes there are some books that claim the ten are obsolete. In them same books youll find in Hebrews 4 the name of Jesus being change to Joshua for the same reason.
Where is the levitical prieshood? Where is the Temple? Where is the Ark of the covenant? Are you in compliance with Ex 20:8-11? Do you not know about it? Why? I do because it is in writing. It is not my covenant so I do not have to comply.
Verse 10- When God writes His commandments in our heart you can bet the ranch we will be keeping them. Yes, even His sabbath. When will God write His laws in our hearts? At the time He does this quote takes place.. " I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people". Its after the gathering of His people to the 1000yr period of rest.
The verse says nothing about commandments weing written in anyone's heart. It says My laws which are not the laws of the covenant. Refer to Jer 31 for absolute proof if you do not trust the direct quote found in Hebrews 8.
EZEKIEL 36 [24] For I will take you from among the heathen, and GATHER YOU OUT OF ALL COUNTRIES, AND WILL BRING YOU INTO YOUR OWN LAND. [25] Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you. [26] A NEW HEART also will I give you, and A NEW SPIRIT will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. [27] And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them. [28] And ye shall dwell in the land that i gave to your fathers; and YE SHALL BE MY PEOPLE, AND I WILL BE YOUR GOD.
This has nothing to do with the NC.
Heres another scripture pointing to when God will do heart surgery on us

DEUT. 30 [4] If any of thine be driven out unto the outmost parts of heaven, from thence will THE LORD THY GOD GATHER THEE, and from thence will he fetch thee: [5] And the Lord THY GOD WILL BRING THEE INTO THE LAND WHICH THY FATHERS POSSESSED, and thou shalt possess it; and he will do thee good, and multiply thee above thy fathers. [6] And the Lord THY GOD WILL CIRCUMCISE THINE HEART, and the heart of thy seed, to love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live. [7] And the Lord thy God will put all these curses upon thine enemies, and on them that hate thee, which persecuted thee. [8] And THOU SHALT RETURN AND OBEY THE VOICE OF THE LORD, AND DO ALL HIS COMMANDMENTS which I command thee this day.
Who is this addressed to?
The gathering to the 1000 yr period of rest. Verse 8- Yes.... that would be the 10 commandments. Does that include the sabbath

ISAIAH 66 [22] For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the Lord, so shall your seed and your name remain. [23] And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and FROM ONE SABBATH TO ANOTHER, SHALL ALL FLESH COME TO WORSHIP before me, saith the Lord.

YUP!
Isa 66 says nothing about the sabbath in vs 22 and 23. It clearly states from...to. This is the way time was spoken of in those days. The passage says nothing about on.

And...? Do you think God created man in such a way as to fall short? Do you think He wants man to stay that way? Does He want His creation to remain in a state of injustice, unaligned with His will?
You contend that Jesus and or the Holy Spirit enables one to comply with the law. I disagree and request you to name any individual that has done so outside of Jesus Christ. You do this to prove obligation to the law. No Deal.

The law.

Jas 1:27 Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world


And this too

Jas 1:26 If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain.

Jas 1:19 ¶ Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:

How do you attain faith and not keep the law?

GALATIANS 3[10] For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.[11] But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.[12] And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.[13] CHRIST HATH REDEEMED US FROM THE CURSE OF THE LAW, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:[14] That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; THAT WE MIGHT RECEIVE THE PROMISE OF THE SPIRIT THROUGH FAITH.

Christ did not come to destroy the law but came to redeem us from the curse of the law that we might recieve the promise of the spirit through FAITH. BUT...

GALATIANS 3 [23] But BEFORE FAITH CAME, WE WERE KEPT UNDER THE LAW, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed. [24] WHEREFORE THE LAW WAS OUR SCHOOLMASTER TO BRING US UNTO CHRIST, THAT WE MIGHT BE JUSTIFIED BY FAITH. [25] But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. [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.

This scripture says what it says. Before faith came to each and everyone of us, we are under the law (10 commandments). Then the scripture goes on to say the same thing again (in case you missed it the 1st time). We are under the law (our schoolmaster) UNTIL we are justified by faith. Faith is not something that you mysteriously attain attain at birth. So, according to this scripture you are kept under the law of the 10 commandments (the schoolmaster) until you are justified by faith in Christ. No shortcuts. Then there is no condemnation. After we have been brought to faith in Christ, do we then make void the law or are we to still be keeping Gods law?

ROMANS 3 [30] Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith. [31] DO WE THEN MAKE VOID THE LAW THROUGH FAITH? GOD FORBID: yea, we establish the law.
Me thinketh thou art confused.

I believe it was Christ who fulfilled the law

MATT.5 [17] Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I AM NOT COME TO DESTROY, BUT TO FULFIL. [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.

What does Jesus say? First he says he has not come to destoy the law. Then he goes on to say the law is intact until heaven and earth pass. Has the earth passed? I know for a fact im still standing on this earth. So...Lets use some common sense. Jesus did fulfil the law and the law is still to be followed. It was not nailed to the cross as the "many" claim. So what did Jesus mean when he said he came to fulfill the law?

LUKE 24 [44] And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that ALL THINGS MUST BE FULFILLED, WHICH WERE WRITTEN IN THE LAW of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, CONCERNING ME.

Yeah, He came and fulfilled the prophecies of His coming which were written in the law concerning Him. The new covenant in His blood. The meat and drink offerings of the new moons, feast days and the sabbaths which were but a shadow of Christ

HEBREWS 9 [1] Then verily THE FIRST COVENANT HAD ALSO ORDINANCES of divine service, and a worldly sanctuary..... [9] Which was a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience;[10] WHICH STOOD ONLY IN MEATS AND DRINKS, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation....[12] NEITHER BY THE BLOOD OF GOATS AND CALVES, BUT BY HIS OWN BLOOD he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.

HEBREWS 10 [1] For THE LAW HAVING A SHADOW of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with THOSE SACRIFICES WHICH THEY OFFERED YEAR BY YEAR continually make the comers thereunto perfect.[2] For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins.[3] But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year.[4] For IT IS NOT POSSIBLE THAT THE BLOOD OF BULLS AND OF GOATS SHOULD TAKE AWAY SINS.

HEBREWS 10 [8] Above when he said, SACRIFICE AND OFFERING and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law; [9] Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. HE TAKETH AWAY THE FIRST, THAT HE MAY ESTABLISH THE SECOND. [10] By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

Hebrews 9 and 10 explain how Jesus fulfilled which was written of Him in the law. Its not the blood of bulls and goats anymore. They were the shadow of Christ which was written in the law... which He fulfilled

JOHN 6 [53] Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. [54] Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. [55] For MY FLESH IS MEAT INDEED, and MY BLOOD IS DRINK INDEED
Is there something about wearing out the saints?

The law is simple, you know what is right and wrong people, the apostles tell us these things. Do whats good and dont do whats bad. Learn to endure suffering, flee from covetousness and all works of flesh, humble yourself, help people, pray, read and meditate on NT scriptures. Seek the kingdom.

if the law can affect without the presence of anyone, then why it has been written that there will be no who to stop the antichrists except the Lord Jesus Christ Himself?!

2 Thessalonians 2:7-9 "For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders"

and why during the old testament God said to the israelites that they must fulfil/execute the law by stoning, etc.?!

Deuteronomy 22:20-21 "But if this thing be true, and the tokens of virginity be not found for the damsel: Then they shall bring out the damsel to the door of her father's house, and the men of her city shall stone her with stones that she die: because she hath wrought folly in Israel, to play the harlot in her father's house: so shalt thou put evil away from among you."





if an adultery doesn't hurt any human, then it is not an adultery

Romans 13:8-10 "Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law. For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery(i.e. do not intrude/coerce/enslave), Thou shalt not kill(i.e. do not hurt/harm/murder), Thou shalt not steal(i.e. do not bereave/rob), Thou shalt not bear false witness(i.e. do not defame/slander/libel/vilify), Thou shalt not covet(i.e. do not curse/execrate/imprecate); and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law."

then if the infidel people are sinful only because they have no faith, then God would be unrighteous, because what of it if some humans do not believe, but do not cause hurt to another?!

Romans 2:14-29 "For when the Gentiles, which have not the law(i.e. when the infidel/non-occult people, viz. the ordinary users who do not practise faith/occultism), do by nature the things contained in the law(i.e. do not violate by nature the things in the Holy Law of (the) faith), these, having not the law(i.e. having not a religion/spirituality/occultism), are a law unto themselves: Which shew the work of the law(i.e. of the Holy Law) written in their hearts(i.e. in their insides/spirits), their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another; In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men(i.e. the human spiritual/religious/occult affairs) by Jesus Christ according to my gospel. Behold, thou art called a Jew(i.e. a cleric/believer), and restest in the law, and makest thy boast of God, And knowest his will, and approvest the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law; And art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them which are in darkness, An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, which hast the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law. Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal(i.e. do you bereave against the Will of God)? Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery(i.e. do you intrude/coerce/enslave)? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege(i.e. do you commit iniquity in the faith)? Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law(i.e. the Holy Law of (the) faith) dishonourest thou God? For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it is written. For circumcision(i.e. because the faith) verily profiteth, if thou keep the law(i.e. the Holy Law of (the) faith): but if thou be a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision(i.e. is (be-)come spiritual/religious iniquity). Therefore if the uncircumcision(i.e. if the infidel/non-occult human) keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision(i.e. its unbelief) be counted for circumcision(i.e. for faithfulness)? And shall not uncircumcision which is(i.e. infidel/non-occult human that is such) by nature, if it fulfil the law(i.e. after it does not violate the Holy Law of (the) faith), judge thee, who by the letter and circumcision dost transgress the law(i.e. the Holy Law of (the) faith)? For he is not a Jew(i.e. a righteous cleric/believer), which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: But he is a Jew(i.e. a righteous cleric/believer), which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart(i.e. of the faith), in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.",

Romans 3:1-31 "What advantage then hath the Jew(i.e. the cleric/believer)? or what profit is there of circumcision(i.e. of (the) faith/spiritual ministry)? Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them(i.e. unto the spiritual servants) were committed the oracles(i.e. the holy ministries) of God. For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith(i.e. the faithfulness) of God without effect? God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar(i.e. every human incompetent/incapable as opposed to Him); as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings(i.e. in Your Righteousness, which is the Word of complete salvation to all humans), and mightest overcome when thou art judged(i.e. when You are doing Your Act, which is the work on providing complete and eternal life to all humans). But if our unrighteousness commend the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who taketh vengeance? (I speak as a man) God forbid: for then how shall God judge the world? For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie unto his glory; why yet am I also judged as a sinner? And not rather, (as we be slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say,) Let us do evil, that good may come? whose damnation is just. What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews(i.e. both clerics/believers) and Gentiles(i.e. and disbelievers), that they are all under sin(i.e. under the system of spiritual/religious iniquity, some of them as its servants, while others of them as its victims); As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues(i.e. with their spiritual/religious activities) they have used deceit(i.e. they have done abuse/iniquity); the poison of asps is under their lips(i.e. there is unrighteousness in their vindication): Whose mouth(i.e. whose spiritual work) is full of cursing and bitterness: Their feet are swift to shed blood(i.e. they are fast to cause harm in their actions): Destruction and misery are in their ways: And the way of peace have they not known: There is no fear of God before their eyes. Now we know that what things soever the law(i.e. the Scripture) saith, it saith to them who are under the law(i.e. who are clerics/believers): that every mouth may be stopped(i.e. in order the whole spiritual/religious iniquity (to) be stopped), and all the world may become(i.e. because all kingdom of human(666) religion is) guilty before God. Therefore by the deeds of the law(i.e. by the deeds of human religion) there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law(or: by the human(666) spiritual/religious activity) is the knowledge of(i.e. is the fall under (the)) sin. But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law(i.e. by the Holy Tradition/Scripture) and the prophets(i.e. and the true prophets); Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe(viz. by all righteous believers and in all infidel people): for there is no difference: For all have sinned(i.e. because, whether or not, all people are incompetent/incapable as opposed to Him), and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness(i.e. His perfect love, viz. which is towards all humans): that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth(i.e. and justifier by those who believe) in Jesus. Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works(i.e. by human abilities)? Nay: but by the law of faith(i.e. but by the faithfulness to the perfect love). Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith(i.e. by Faithfulness) without the deeds of the law(viz. without a need of this some human to be a God, or of human intervention in the administrative Work(-s) of God). Is he the God of the Jews(i.e. of the clerics/believers) only? is he not also of the Gentiles(i.e. of the infidel people)? Yes, of the Gentiles also: Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision(i.e. the clerics/believers) by faith(i.e. by their right faith in Him), and uncircumcision(i.e. and the infidel humans) through faith(viz. being faithful to take care of them, having believe inside them in lieu of themselves). Do we then make void the law through faith(i.e. the Holy Law of (the) faith)? God forbid: yea, we establish the law."





rather your arguments look like: "i never surrender my imposition"





a "cheap grace" is when some pharisee (try to) make the Holy Commandments of God to be difficult or absurd, because Jesus Christ has clearly shown the importance of the Ten Commandments reminding about them by writing with His finger on the ground as the God wrote them on two tables of stone in the time of Moses, or why did Jesus begin to write with His finger on the ground exactly when the scribes and pharisees asked Him about the woman who was taken in adultery?!, was this idle?!

Blessings
So I guess we now argue with filler c&P material and extra biblical input making the Scripture say something it does not say. The above filler includes much more than is found in Rom 3:31 without reference and is very difficult to read.

good night.

Since I don't hold the same twist and out of context understanding as you have cobbled together, it does not affect me in the least, as you seem to so desire it to.

Your not preaching the Word of God at all. Why would I fear what 'you' are saying?

Well Shimshon lets look through scripture and see whose teaching the Word correctly

1 COR. 3 [1] And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ. [2] I HAVE FED YOU WITH MILK, AND NOT WITH MEAT: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able. [3] For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?

HEBREWS 5 [12] For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat. [13] FOR EVERY ONE THAT USETH MILK IS UNSKILFUL IN THE WORD OF RIGHTEOUSNESS: FOR HE IS A BABE. [14] But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

The two above new testament scriptures tell us we should be teachers of the word. It also tells us everyone that uses milk is unskilful in the word.

ISAIAH 28 [9] WHOM SHALL HE TEACH KNOWLEDGE? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? THEM THAT ARE WEANED FROM THE MILK, and drawn from the breasts.[10] For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:[11] For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people.[12] To whom he said, THIS IS THE REST wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and THIS IS THE REFRESHING: yet they would not hear.

In Hebrews 5 the scripture tells us we should be teachers of the Word but we dont understand, we are still just babes, milk drinkers. In Isaiah we see that those whom God will teach knowledge and whom he shall make to understand doctrine are those who are weaned from the milk. Who are these milk drinkers (verse 12) that dont understand doctrine? To whom he said this is the rest and the refreshing, but they refused to hear. Rest? Refreshing?

EXODUS 31 [15] Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to the LORD: whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death.[16] Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant.[17] It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, and ON THE SEVENTH DAY HE RESTED, AND WAS REFRESHED.

Heres a scripture that speaks of a rest and a refreshing. And yes, the milk drinkers do refuse to hear that scripture.



GOT MILK?
