IS IT SIN TO BREAK THE 10 COMMANDMENTS? (Yep!)

[LoveGodsWord]

But the context is talking about the Old Covenant because you could physically die by the hands of your own people (i.e. God's people). Jesus now teaches something different. He said he that is among you without sin, cast the first stone. So this is a new teaching. We are not to pick up stones anymore for those in the tribe of believers who may commit adultery. Paul instead told the Corinthians to kick that person out who committed sexual immorality. He did not say to pick up stones and kill this person. Spiritual death and not physical death. A person abides in spiritual death if they commit grievous sin.

NOPE! That has no truth in it whatsoever Jason. All through the OLD TESTAMENT and the NEW TESTAMENT scriptures teach that the wages of sin is death. It is not death only to those who have accepted the free gift of God's dear son (Romans 6:23). Who has chosen to die this death on our behalf as our sacrifice for sin (John 3:14-21). If the waged of sin is not death why did Jesus have to die on the cross for the sins of the world *1 JOHN 2:1-4? The only thing that has changed here from the OLD COVENANT to the NEW is that we are not a part of the NATION of ISRAEL under the NEW COVENANT and the death penalty for sin is carried out by God at the 2nd coming * HEBREWS 10:26-27; 2 PETER 3:3-12; HEBREWS 6:4-8; ROMANS 6:23. I suggest you read your bible.

You have made many posts to me and many of them are insanely long. It would take a better part of the year to reply to them and I said I would not argue with you over the Sabbath issue.

Now Jason all the posts sent to you have gone through each of your posts section by section and scripture by scripture. Some of those posts were long as your posts you sent were long. You do not have to reply to them if you do not wish to. At the very least you should prayerfully consider the content showing that why you have left CONTEXT out of your interpretation of the scriptures. I did spend a lot of my own time on those posts as a help to you. Ignoring God's WORD is the same as rejecting it.

I can say the same to you, but truth is proven by what God's Word says. Oh, and yes. May God bless you, too.

Jason all you have proven is that you are not open to discussion or correction and not interested in looking at the scriptures found in God's WORD that disagree with your teachings.

May God help you brother as you continue to seek him through his Word.

 

[LoveGodsWord]

You know, I actually agree with you for once. Before the cross, the 10 commandments still applied; And you are right. I did not catch that. The young rich ruler did not keep the commandments just as you pointed out. But I believe Jesus in what He says in regards to Matthew 19:17. Jesus says if you will enter into life, keep the commandments. This is one of the many reasons from Scripture why I believe that keeping God's commands is a part of the salvation equation.

Thanks Jason for showing some honesty here. All the posts provided to you are only sent as a help. I agree with your post here as well although after the cross God's LAW still applies as it gives us a knowledge of Good and evil; SIN and RIGHTOUESNESS. It is eternal.

Could it be however that in the other posts provided to you that you have ignored there are some other things you may have not considered? How will you know if you do not read them?

There may be a blessing in there for you.

But you are not offering what it means for them to be in the Kingdom and then for them to be gathered out by angels to be cast into the furnace of fire. If there is a metaphor expressing some other meaning, where is it?

Generally the rule of thumb in reading is that you take it literally unless there is a clear indicator that it is a metaphor based on the context or or other parts that say otherwise.

The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels.

40 ‘As the weeds are pulled up and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of the age. 41 The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will weed out of his kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil.''


Its a parable Jason. Christ and his Father's kingdom will be on this earth, at the end of the age/after the last day of this present earth. And before that kingdom can come, the new earth, in the geographical place of the old earth, the weeds must been thrown out. They will throw out the weeds in Christ's kingdom. Being thrown out of his kingdom is referring to the location of where the kingdom will be, and is to come. Please remember it is a parable, with a spiritual message.
As a general rule of thumb, see if the literal words as you read them, would contradict basic facts. The kingdom of God and his son will have no sin or impurity in it. That is my last word on the subject, I am not going to go round and round in circles about it

 

[Archippus]

My life is not the standard, God's Word is the standard.

Yes, God's word gives a standard, and you cannot attain to that standard can you(if you are honest) And to your credit, your words admit that. And that is why you and everyone else needs a saviour from sin. For none of us can reach that standard. And we do not only need a saviour for one day when we get saved, but throughout our lives. Now you can preach the standard, but, and I mean this sincerely, think of the people you are preaching it to. If you do not tell them you much fail the standard, how is that going to affect them? They may believe you attain a standard you do not attain to, then they may become dispirited and give up with the faith. They may feel worthless, there is no point in them continuing in the faith, because they cannot reach this impossible standard they think others can reach. Think about it Jason, the second greatest commandment is at stake here, alongside Christ's law(Gal6:2).
And there is no licence to sin in admitting the truth of failing the standard, the new covenant does not allow for that for those truly born again.

 

[Bible Highlighter]

Is "Kingdom of Christ", the heavenly one, or the earthly one, (or both?)...? Or what...?

God Bless!

The earthly one. For they were gathered out by Christ’s angels at the judgement and cast into the furnace of fire. The furnace of fire is the Lake of Fire.

 

[Bible Highlighter]

Goodness brother you have just ignored God's WORD showing the context you have left out of the parable. What are you saying no to? Where does the scripture say "NEW EARTH"? It says "END OF THE WORLD" v39. I suggest you read the scriptures you are saying no to and left out showing context.

While the end of the world can be interpreted at the end of Christ’s 2nd coming, the purification of this world by fire, and the establishment of the Millennial reign of Christ, such a thing would not be technically true. For the “end of the world” does not officially happen until this Earth passes away after the Millennium. Also, there are still weeds that need to rooted out at the end of the Millennium. For Satan will be loosed after being bound for 1,000 years and he will deceive nations in the Millennial reign to come up against God’s faithful ones.

 

[Bible Highlighter]

Yes, God's word gives a standard, and you cannot attain to that standard can you(if you are honest) And to your credit, your words admit that.

You are right that I cannot attain that standard. Alone, I can do nothing. Only by the power of Jesus working in me can I crucify the affections and lusts (See again Romans 13:14).

Jesus tells us to be perfect as the Heavenly Father is perfect (Matthew 5:48). The Father is perfect because He is holy and sinless. Also, being perfect as the Father is related to the context of action in the fact that we are to love our enemies (See Matthew 5:43-47).

Paul talks about how we used to be sinners as a part of our past life and we are not that way anymore.

2 "Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
3 Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others" (Ephesians 2:2-3).​

Peter says a similar thing:

"As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves
according to the former lusts in your ignorance" (1 Peter 1:14).​

John says there is a difference between us and the world in the fact that whole world lies in wickedness.

"And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness." (1 John 5:19).​

Surely these passages above cannot be yet another metaphor that do not mean what they say.

And that is why you and everyone else needs a saviour from sin. For none of us can reach that standard. And we do not only need a saviour for one day when we get saved, but throughout our lives. Now you can preach the standard, but, and I mean this sincerely, think of the people you are preaching it to. If you do not tell them you much fail the standard, how is that going to affect them? They may believe you attain a standard you do not attain to, then they may become dispirited and give up with the faith. They may feel worthless, there is no point in them continuing in the faith, because they cannot reach this impossible standard they think others can reach.

From my experience, most churches believe in a sin and still be saved type belief. This seems to me like the wide gate path. Jesus says narrow is the way that leads unto life and few be there that finds it (Matthew 7:14).

Think about it Jason, the second greatest commandment is at stake here, alongside Christ's law(Gal6:2). And there is no licence to sin in admitting the truth of failing the standard, the new covenant does not allow for that for those truly born again.

As I told you before, my friend: Not loving your neighbor is a salvation issue. We learn in the Parable of the Good Samaritan that our neighbor is the poor or the down trodden, etc (See Luke 10:25-37). We are to told in Matthew 25:31-46 that if we do not help (love) the poor, it is like we are not helping (loving) Jesus and we will be cast into everlasting fire. Also, no doubt our brothers and sisters in the Lord would be our neighbor, too. 1 John 3:15 says that if we hate our brother, no eternal life abides in us. Paul says in Romans 13:8-10 that loving our neighbor is the equivalent of keeping the Moral Law, as well (Like: Do not murder, Do not covet, Do not steal, etc.).

 

[Bible Highlighter]

The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels.

40 ‘As the weeds are pulled up and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of the age. 41 The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will weed out of his kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil.''


Its a parable Jason. Christ and his Father's kingdom will be on this earth, at the end of the age/after the last day of this present earth. And before that kingdom can come, the new earth, in the geographical place of the old earth, the weeds must been thrown out. They will throw out the weeds in Christ's kingdom. Being thrown out of his kingdom is referring to the location of where the kingdom will be, and is to come. Please remember it is a parable, with a spiritual message.

But you are missing the point. Even if you believed that the Kingdom was the set up of the location, Christ is still going to gather those who offend and who do iniquity and cast them into the furnace of fire. Remember, they are weeds and they can appear to be like wheat. So they can appear to be like believers. See 2 Timothy 3:1-9 and Jude 1 to see what I am talking about.

Besides, we know that it is not just the location of it being His Kingdom alone, because unbelievers would not be weeds who are hard to spot and Jesus says to certain individuals who claimed to do wonderful works in his name to depart from Him because they worked iniquity (See Matthew 7:23 and Matthew 7:26-27). We also know that in Matthew 25:31-46, that the goats are separated from the sheep because the goats did not help the poor and as a result, they were cast into everlasting fire.

 

[Bible Highlighter]

But the context is talking about the Old Covenant because you could physically die by the hands of your own people (i.e. God's people). Jesus now teaches something different.

NOPE! That has no truth in it whatsoever Jason. All through the OLD TESTAMENT and the NEW TESTAMENT scriptures teach that the wages of sin is death. It is not death only to those who have accepted the free gift of God's dear son (Romans 6:23). Who has chosen to die this death on our behalf as our sacrifice for sin (John 3:14-21). If the waged of sin is not death why did Jesus have to die on the cross for the sins of the world *1 JOHN 2:1-4?

Again, the context is talking about the Law of Moses in 2 Corinthians 3:7.

"Now if the ministry of death, carved in letters on stone, came with such glory that the Israelites could not gaze at Moses’ face because of its glory, which was being brought to an end," (2 Corinthians 3:7) (ESV).

"For the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life." (2 Corinthians 3:6).

The Law of Moses was a ministry of death and the letter killed in the Law of Moses was in the fact that it could put the Israelite to death physically by the hand of his own people (when the Old Covenant was in effect before the cross).

While it is true that Jesus paid the price for the majority of man's sins with His death physically so as to offer man the free gift of salvation and so that man can be responsible with that gift, this is in view of the fact that Jesus saves us from primarily spiritual death first and then eventual physical death (by preventing us from being cast into the Lake of Fire).

The only thing that has changed here from the OLD COVENANT to the NEW is that we are not a part of the NATION of ISRAEL under the NEW COVENANT and the death penalty for sin is carried out by God at the 2nd coming * HEBREWS 10:26-27; 2 PETER 3:3-12; HEBREWS 6:4-8; ROMANS 6:23.

Hebrews 10:26-27 does not say that the Judgment takes place after the 2nd Coming. Please show me the exact wording that says that. I just don't see it.

2 Peter 3:7 at first glance could sound like it talking about the main Judgment taking place after Christ's return, but how then could Christ judge those who rebel against Him at the end of the Millennium? Are there going to be two judgments? Scripture says it is appointed unto men once to die, after this is the judgment and not judgments. So what is 2 Peter 3:7 saying? It is referring to the day of judgment upon ungodly men living at the time of Christ's return when He returns to execute His wrath upon them in battle. This will then be followed by the purification of this world by fire.

As for Hebrews 6:8:
This in no way gives us the timing of the Judgment or those cast into the Lake of Fire.

Okay. Romans 6:23 also does not give us the timing of the Judgment, either.

I suggest you read your bible.

Please do not patronize me by telling me to read the Bible.
It's not nice. I studied the Bible almost every day since 2010.

Now Jason all the posts sent to you have gone through each of your posts section by section and scripture by scripture. Some of those posts were long as your posts you sent were long. You do not have to reply to them if you do not wish to. At the very least you should prayerfully consider the content showing that why you have left CONTEXT out of your interpretation of the scriptures. I did spend a lot of my own time on those posts as a help to you. Ignoring God's WORD is the same as rejecting it.

If I refuse to listen to your spin on God's Word, it does not mean I reject God's Word. You are not the sole gatekeeper of God's Word. I do just fine studying, and praying over God's Word on my own without your help. There are things I know that you do not know about God's Word, just as I am sure there may be some things you may know. But I am not going to read everything you say because my time is limited and I don't agree with the majority of what you have to say with God's Word.

Jason all you have proven is that you are not open to discussion or correction and not interested in looking at the scriptures found in God's WORD that disagree with your teachings.

I can say the same to you, but I wouldn't do that because such a situation does not apply. You are not my Pastor, or elder, etc. Then again, I believe we are living in the last days and finding a Pastor or elder that actually follows the teachings of Jesus like we see in the New Testament is extremely rare.

May God help you brother as you continue to seek him through his Word.

Same to you.
Blessings to you in the Lord.

This is the true end of the world.

"...the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them." (Revelation 20:11).

Revelation 20:11 takes place after Christ's 2nd coming:

"And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war." (Revelation 19:11).

And Revelation 20:11 takes place after the Millennium or the 1,000 year reign of Christ.

4 "And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished." (Revelation 20:4-5).

 

[LoveGodsWord]

While the end of the world can be interpreted at the end of Christ’s 2nd coming, the purification of this world by fire, and the set of the Millennial reign of Christ, such a thing would not technically be true because the official end of this world or Earth is at the end of the Millennial reign of Christ. For there are still weeds that need to rooted out at the end of the Millennium. For Satan will be loosed after being bound for 1,000 years and he will deceive nations in the Millennial reign to come up against God’s faithful ones.

Hi Jason, I do not think you are getting the point here brother or maybe I am misunderstanding you. I was replying to your earlier post

Archippus said: ↑ Really? So you can enter the kingdom of heaven and be thrown out at a later date?

41 "The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;
42 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
43 Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear." (Matthew 13:41-43).​

It says, they (the angels) shall gather out of His Kingdom (Christ's Kingdom) all things (anyone or anything) that offends and or them (people) which do iniquity (sin). It says they will be cast then into the furnace of fire (Which is the Lake of Fire).

You seem to be saying here to Archippus that you can enter the kingdom of heaven and then be thrown out at a latter date. You responded to that question by quoting the above scriptures. Then I replied with the scriptures showing that the CONTEXT of these scriptures you quoted are in relation to a parable about the wheat and the tares and the context is the end of the world (Matthew 13:36-40) not Heaven as stated above in your post. I am not sure what your saying now has anything to do with what was being discussed earlier.

May God bless you as you seek him through his WORD.

 

[LoveGodsWord]

Again, the context is talking about the Law of Moses in 2 Corinthians 3:7.

Jason this has nothing to do with what your discussing with me your claim that is that the the wages of sin is not death in the NEW COVENANT. Nearly all the NEW TESTAMENT disagrees with you. Who are those going into the lake of fire at the end of the world? * ROMANS 6:23; HEBREWS 10:26-27; HEBREWS 6:4-8; 2 PETER 3:3-12; 1 THESSALONIANS 1:8; JUDE 1:7; REVELATION 21:18. Sorry Jason God's WORD disagrees with you. The wages of sin is still death to all who practice it. This time however it is carried out after the 2nd coming. I suggest you read your bible.

"Now if the ministry of death, carved in letters on stone, came with such glory that the Israelites could not gaze at Moses’ face because of its glory, which was being brought to an end," (2 Corinthians 3:7) (ESV).
"For the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life." (2 Corinthians 3:6).The Law of Moses was a ministry of death and the letter killed in the Law of Moses was in the fact that it could put the Israelite to death physically by the hand of his own people (when the Old Covenant was in effect before the cross).

Not sure why you have posted this as it has nothing to do with the wages of sin being death (Romans 6:23). I am not sure if you are confusing the MOSAIC BOOK OF THE COVENANT with God's 10 COMMANDMENTS but 2 COR 3 is talking about the two COVENANTS. The letter of the law (10 Commandments) kill because it gives us a KNOWLEDGE of what SIN is when broken (Romans 3:20; Romans 7:7; James 2:8-11; 1 John 3:4). God's law does not kill it is HOLY, JUST AND GOOD (Romans 7:12). It is the SIN that it reveals in us that kills (Romans 6:23). The letter of the law is not the Spirit of the law. The spirit of the law is LOVE under the NEW COVENANT being born again in the Spirit to LOVE thought faith and LOVE is the FOLUFILLING of God's LAW in all those who BELIEVE (Romans 13:8-10; Hebrews 8:10-12; Romans 3:31; Romans 8:1-4; Galatians 5:16). You have your interpretation of the scriptures mixed up Jason because you leave out CONTEXT.

Hebrews 10:26-27 does not say that the Judgment takes place after the 2nd Coming. Please show me the exact wording that says that. I just don't see it.

Who says that the judgment takes place after the 2nd coming? The scripture was provided with other scriptures to show that those who practice sin receive the death penalty after the 2nd coming. * ROMANS 6:23; HEBREWS 10:26-27; HEBREWS 6:4-8; 2 PETER 3:3-12; 1THESSALONIANS 1:8; JUDE 1:7; REVELATION 21:18. Your trying to make an argument no one is talking about.

2 Peter 3:7 at first glance could sound like it talking about the main Judgment taking place after Christ's return, but how then could Christ judge those who rebel against Him at the end of the Millennium? Are there going to be two judgments? Scripture says it is appointed unto men once to die, after this is the judgment and not judgments. So what is 2 Peter 3:7 saying? It is referring to the day of judgment upon ungodly men living at the time of Christ's return when He returns to execute His wrath upon them in battle. This will then be followed by the purification of this world by fire.

Why are you talking about judgment when the topic I am discussing with you is that the wages of sin is death and it will be carried out after the 2nd coming? Your making a strawman argument no one is talking about. Do the scriptures provided say that those who continue in sin will receive the death penalty or not? Absolutely they do and that is why they were provided as proof texts that the wages of sin is death *ROMANS 6:23 to all those who reject the gift of Gods dear son.

As for Hebrews 6:8: This in no way gives us the timing of the Judgment or those cast into the Lake of Fire.

"DITTO" see above section

Okay. Romans 6:23 also does not give us the timing of the Judgment, either.

"DITTO" see above section. Who is talking about the judgment we are talking about the wages of sin being death in the NEW COVENANT.

There are things I know that you do not know about God's Word, just as I am sure there may be some things you may know. But I am not going to read everything you say because my time is limited and I don't agree with the majority of what you have to say with God's Word.

Jason all I hear from this is that you are not interested in having a discussion of God's WORD. How can you have a discussion by not reading my posts that have been sent to you that respond to your posts? There is a difference between studying God's WORD and understanding God's WORD through a prayerful study guided by God's Spirit. How can you not agree with the majority of what is posted to you if you do not read the posts that are sent to you that go through each of your posts section by section and scripture by scriptures? That does not make much sense my friend.

I can say the same to you, but I wouldn't do that because such a situation does not apply. You are not my Pastor, or elder, etc. Then again, I believe we are living in the last days and finding a Pastor or elder that actually follows the teachings of Jesus like we see in the New Testament is extremely rare.

Jason if that was true I would not have spent any time going through your posts section by section and scripture by scripture showing your errors by leaving out context. How can you say the same to me when you say in your own words that have ignored my posts to you and have not read them. Once again that does not make any sense.

May God help you Jason, as you seek him through his WORD.

Unless it was a typo, I do not recall saying that those who offended (sinned) and were gathered out by angels to be burned were in Heaven in relation to being in the Kingdom in Matthew 13:41-43.

I was saying they were members of the Kingdom by their status that they once had while upon the Earth. This is in the fact that they believed and claimed to be a follower of Jesus while they were alive. So you misunderstood, my friend.

They are not going to go to Heaven and then later be cast out.

It sounded like you were trying to say that once you enter Heaven there will be people still sinning there and they will be thrown out. You may want to go back and fix your post up then.

No, that is not what I was saying. Archippus may have asked a question that suggested that I think (if my memory serves me right).

I don't believe a person can sin in heaven.

 

[LoveGodsWord]

No, that is not what I was saying.

It is no sin for the Christian to ignore the Ten Commandments because they no longer apply; but it is a sin not to love God with all our hearts and our neighbor as ourselves.

 

[Bible Highlighter]

It is no sin for the Christian to ignore the Ten Commandments because they no longer apply; but it is a sin not to love God with all our hearts and our neighbor as ourselves.

Paul says in Romans 13:8-10 that loving your neighbor is the equivalent of the Moral Law (like: Do not murder, do not steal, do not covet, etc.).
9 out of the 10 commands (Minus the Sabbath) have been repeated as commands in the New Testament (or New Covenant). There are dire consequences to a believer if they were to disobey these commands and not repent (seek the Lord's forgiveness) before they die. Paul says murderers, fornicators, etc. will not inherit the Kingdom of God (Galatians 5:19-21, 1 Corinthians 6:9-10).

has become the cornerstone,”

8 and,

“A stone of stumbling,
and a rock of offense.”

They stumble because they are disobedient to the word, to which also they were appointed.

9 But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, so that you may declare the goodness of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light. 10 In times past, you were not a people, but now you are the people of God. You had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy. (1 Peter 2:7-10).
