Sinning Willfully, a study in Hebrews

[Grip Docility]

That isn't Jesus' testimony.

The Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ is Jesus' testimony

He says, why callest thou me Good? There is none good but one, God.

This is exactly what I have been saying.

He the Father that dwells in me, He doeth the work.

The very Presence of God, when "SEEN" is The Son. The invisible, Infinite SPIRIT of God in Heaven is the FATHER. The same Holy Spirit that is in the Son, is IN the Father. Jesus states over and over that He came to reveal the Works of THE FATHER. Jesus is God the Son accomplishing God the Father's work. He assigned us our part.

John 6:29 Jesus answered, “The work God wants you to do is this: to believe in the One that God sent.”

John 6:63 The Spirit is the One who gives life. The flesh doesn’t help at all. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and are life.

And greater works shall we do because He went unto the Father.

Hit the brakes. You're not implying that you do "Greater" work than Jesus, are you?

He has not left us comfortless. He has come unto us. He in us, us in Him that the world might believe.

He did the work we cant do. We are humble emissary's of the WORK that He did for us. He gave us a NEW COMMAND, as well, because He fulfilled the Law exactly as He said He would do. Matthew 5:17,18 (Hebrews 8:13, Hebrews 9:1,4)

For it is He that works in us both to will and do His good pleasure.

A NEW Command I give you
The ROYAL COMMAND
This is how the world will know that you are my disciples

He doeth the work. Not I but Christ.

This is exactly what I have been saying on repeat. We all have a choice.

(Self/Old Covenant/Moses/10)<------------------------------ (The Lamp of our Soul)------------------------------->(Jesus)

For we are dead but live. Yet not us but Christ Jesus lives in us. And the Life we now live in the flesh we live by the FAITH OF the Son of God who gave Himself for us.

How does one exactly judge a dead man of sin?

This is Galatians and this very Chapter 2 ends with the messages full meaning, here.

Galatians 2:21 I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died for nothing.

For we who have been baptized into Christ and His death, have put on Christ

Galatians 3 (His righteousness cloths us, though our Dead Works of the Flesh are vile/trash/counted loss)

and are risen with Him and walk in newness of Life. With His Word,

Jesus is the Word and the Holy Spirit of the Word LIVES IN US.

His Law in our hearts through His Spirit.

Ephesians 5:2 And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.

Galatians 6:2 Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.

John 15:12,13 “This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.

Galatians 5:13,14 For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. For the whole law is fulfilled in one word: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”

Matthew 5:17,18​

John 13:34 “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. 35 By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”

1 John 3:23 And this is his command: to believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as he commanded us.

He fulfilled the Commandments for us. He is our Righteousness. Matthew 5:17,18 Hebrews 8:13 Hebrews 9:1,4 When we are GRAFTED in to HIM, the Law is fulfilled by HIS WORK through His Life, Death, Burial and Resurrection. We are Commanded to LOVE​

24 The one who keeps God’s commands lives in him, and he in them. And this is how we know that he lives in us: We know it by the Spirit he gave us.

The old man is crucified with Him that the body of sin be destroyed.

True.

Galatians 3:13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a pole.”

Romans 8:3,4 For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do. By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh, in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

The flesh doesn't matter​

​

Colossians 2:14 He ·canceled [wiped out; erased] the ·record [certificate] of debt, ·which listed all the rules we failed to follow [L with its decrees that were against us; C the record of sins revealed through the OT law; Eph. 2:15]. He ·took it away [set it aside; destroyed it] and nailed it to the cross.

Hence forth we do not serve sin.

Only God is good Per Moses (10 and all 600+ others) We are condemned by Moses. (James 2:10 For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it. 11 For he who said, “You shall not commit adultery,” also said, “You shall not murder.” If you do not commit adultery but do commit murder, you have become a lawbreaker.)

The one who had the Power of Death, the Devil (Hebrews 2:14) Devil where is your sting? Your sting is in SIN and the POWER BEHIND SIN IS THE LAW.

I serve Jesus, not Sin. I follow Jesus, not the Law.

I serve Jesus with LOVE (James 2:8). I do not turn from Jesus to the Dead Works of the Law. (Hebrews 8:13, Hebrews 9:1,4,14)

Because all is new and of God. We have been begotten by the Word of Truth and have been set free from the Body of sin and death. And If the Son has set us free. Free we are indeed.

FREE

1 Corinthians 10:23 All things are legitimate [permissible—and we are free to do anything we please], but not all things are helpful (expedient, profitable, and wholesome).

1 Corinthians 6:12 “All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are helpful. “All things are lawful for me,” but I will not be dominated by anything.

No you were shown

This is a seemingly compassionless statement. It seems presumptuous and puffed up. IMO I have Massive posts that have exegesis that is Hermeneutic (IMO) which have gone ignored, line by line. I have addressed every word that you have written with scripture and received no direct evaluation of the scripture posted and the exegesis drawn from it. IMO

that the Law pertaining to the priesthood and their duties changed in Heb 7-9.

This is not so. Hebrews 8:13, Hebrews 9:1,4, 14

He died that we can keep the Law (not sin) through Him and His Resurrection. Romans 6 and 8

In my opinion, you are unknowingly calling Grace nothing more than a license to sin.

You are taking a scriptural path that, in my humble opinion, takes the words of the accuser that were nullified on Calvary, cast as far as the East is from the West, and throwing the Record of the Accuser's words back into the Lap of the Forgiven.

This teaching kills faith. I've said this many times on this thread and it's gone ignored by you, with zero compassion for it's implication. I would not be here providing counterpoint if this were not the case.

No you haven't, you cut off the context at every turn, even when Jesus gives us the definition like what are the commandments of God Mat 15:3-14 same definition God gave who is Jesus right in the Ten Exo 20:6 and breaking them are hearts are far from Him, when would Jesus ever want our hearts far from Him- the opposite of the new Covenant Heb 8:10, you are arguing against Him, not us. Just like James 2:10-12 does not say old covenant, you added that there, when the scripture says it what we are Judged by (has not happened Mat 7:23 Rev 22:14-15) same as what Jesus taught and why He tells us to keep and not break or teach others to break Mat 5:19-30 because one would be in fear of sin and Judgement- not happened yet. It's impossible to reason with someone who thinks their opinions are equal to God's Word, when they are not. The loudest voice does not mean its the voice of Truth. Scripture says all of God's commandments are Truth Psa 119:151 so any teaching away from God's Truth, we need to proceed with caution. Isa 8:20

There is no Hermeneutic defense against any of the passages that I have submitted in this response, in my opinion. This above response reads as "You're wrong, I'm right". IMO

I only use scripture and the Holy Spirit of Christ when I study. I acknowledge that my words are opinions. I am still awaiting any of the longer posts that I took the time to post to actually be evaluated with scripture only. James 2 contrasts one Law that is of freedom and demands that we do not judge humanity, just as Jesus taught. This is called "The Royal Law: and is specifically defined as (LOVE your neighbor as yourself (Period).

The contrast is with the Old Covenant Law which condemns in totality at the mere infraction of one point. (Hebrews 8:13, Hebrews 9:1,2, 14) I can assist with this discussion, further with material that has gone unaddressed.

20 To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win Jews; to those under the law, like one under the law—though I myself am not under the law—to win those under the law.

There are two different usages of the word LAW, between 1 Corinthians 9:20 and 1 Corinthians 9:21

1 Corinthians 9:20

1 Corinthians 9:21

3551. nomos nomos: that which is assigned, hence usage, law Original Word: νόμος, ου, ὁ Part of Speech: Noun, Masculine Transliteration: nomos Phonetic Spelling: (nom'-os) Definition: that which is assigned, usage, law Usage: usage, custom, law; in NT: of law in general, plur: of divine laws; of a force or influence impelling to action; of the Mosaic law; meton: of the books which contain the law, the Pentateuch, the Old Testament scriptures in general. Just to be certain that this very Law being mentioned by Paul is the Decalogue, (10 Commandments), we find that this is the precise word that is used to pen the following verses in the same Koine Greek. Matthew 5:17 N-AMS GRK: καταλῦσαι τὸν νόμον ἢ τοὺς NAS: to abolish the Law or KJV: to destroy the law, or INT: to abolish the law or the Matthew 5:18 N-GMS And... GRK: ἀπὸ τοῦ νόμου ἕως ἂν NAS: shall pass from the Law until KJV: pass from the law, till all INT: from the law until anyhow Jesus Christ has made it possible for Paul to ensure that it is clear that he is not Under this Law because Jesus Christ fulfilled this Law. Matthew 5:17 “Don’t assume that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill.

1772. ennomos 2 Usages Acts 19:39 Adj-DFS GRK: ἐν τῇ ἐννόμῳ ἐκκλησίᾳ ἐπιλυθήσεται NAS: this, it shall be settled in the lawful assembly. KJV: in a lawful assembly. INT: in the lawful assembly it will be solved 1 Corinthians 9:21 Adj-NMS GRK: θεοῦ ἀλλ' ἔννομος Χριστοῦ ἵνα NAS: of God but under the law of Christ, KJV: but under the law to Christ,) INT: to God but within law to Christ that Jesus Christ is the KING. Revelation 19:13 He wore a robe stained with blood, and His name is the Word of God. ... 16 And He has a name written on His robe and on His thigh: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS. This is why the very structure of James 2:8 Indeed, if you keep the royal law prescribed in the Scripture, Love your neighbor as yourself, you are doing well. James 2:8 defines the ROYAL LAW as specifically "Love your neighbor as yourself" Under this Law, it then specifies that if Love is given partially based on Carnal Judgment that the ROYAL LAW is transgressed, which then rolls the individual under the LAW of FREEDOM (James 2:12) back under the Law of Stone that leads to sin and death (Hebrews 2:14, 1 Corinthians 15:54,55,56, 2 Corinthians 3:7). Jesus lays the foundation for this understanding in John 8:15 You judge according to the flesh: I judge not any man. The Stone Law requires Carnal obedience that other men can visibly see and judge. Romans 2:16 on the day when God will judge the secrets of human hearts, according to my gospel through Christ Jesus. The Love within a person's heart and the motives behind it can only be discerned by God. This is why the Royal Law is only fully observable by Jesus Christ's knowledge of each individuals human "heart" (Soul).

21 To those who are without that law, like one without the law—not being without God’s law but within Christ’s law—to win those without the law.
Here the very Greek supports that Paul is calling Jesus Christ's Law the Law of God or "God's Law".

Christ's Law (John 13:34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. 35 By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Again, Jesus Christ, The King of king's, ROYAL LAW;
James 2:8 Indeed, if you keep the royal law prescribed in the Scripture, Love your neighbor as yourself, you are doing well.

Repeating the same errors/ missed context doesn't help.

 

[Reasonably Sane]

Lyrics that gritted at me until I understood the human condition:

If morning's echo says we've sinned
Well it was what I wanted now

Absolutely beautiful song, but still...it speaks to the incredible challenge and temptation of the sex drive warned against in the Bible. Our other drive, food, which can lead to gluttony, is not nearly as heavily addressed. But both are bad, and everyone succumbs in one way or another. E.V.E.R.Y.O.N.E.* And everyone suffers the consequences when they do.

*The exception would be those that, for whatever reason, have zero sex drive.

 

[Reasonably Sane]

BTW, my take on willful sin is that pretty much all sin is willful. Though we may sin and not know it, that is really not what we are warned against over and over again. And I believe most sin carries its own punishment IN THIS LIFE. Want some meth? You must not want your teeth.

God is compared over and over to a "loving father". And most sins against your father are examples of literally not doing what he says. And what he tells you to do and not do are most of the time for YOUR benefit. i.e. look both ways before crossing the street. OTOH, there are sins "against God" that can be described as sins against your earthly father. e.g. trash talking your dad. Or telling friends how to break into his business and steal his stuff.

Frankly, I sometimes wonder if those "sins against God himself are a completely different level that affects you more in eternity than the sins against His "instruction for a better life". I'm gonna have to give that one a think...

This response declares "Error", yet doesn't address a single direct word written in my response. Saying a thing is so, does not make it so, from the creations mouth. IMO

I shared my opinions, clearly and they remain ignored. I can easily express what you are saying. I have listened actively, and evaluated your points and perspectives. I then respond.

My points and perspectives haven't been evaluated. They have been shifted to the side and opined on. That isn't "missed context" or "error". I have said these are my opinions, but my opinions have gone ignored.

I already did, in the thread you started that you copied here.

Like you are claiming the Ten Commandments are not the summary of the greatest commandments/Royal law, when the scriptures clearly says they are.

Rom 13:9 9 For the commandments, (Directly quoting from the Ten Commandments ) “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” [b]“You shall not bear false witness,” “You shall not covet,” and if there is any other commandment, are all summed up in this saying, namely, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”


James 2:8 If you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” you do well

The summary does not delete the details- just like calling the Constitution does not mean it deletes all its articles and amendments.

You have responded with your opinions against what the scriptures say. You can't reason someone who does this. I tried, but I'm not going to continue, so if you want, you can have the last word.

Take care.

This summary is a superior delivery of God's desire for mankind. God had work to do, in the OT. He had a very specific Accuser that He had to defeat, though He could have just snuffed him out. God chose a fair path of humility and testing that allowed the Accuser to build his own gallows. IMO

The Law of Sin and Death brings condemnation

The Law of the Spirit brings Life Eternal

James 2:8 If you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” you do well

The summary does not delete the details- just like calling the Constitution does not mean it deletes all its articles and amendments.

The very Royal Command employs Spirit and Truth which removes the Carnal nature of the Ministry of Death.

You have responded with your opinions

Agree

against what the scriptures say.

This is your opinion

You can't reason someone who does this.

I'm still here to reason with.

I tried, but I'm not going to continue,

We both are convicted. We've had this discussion, before. My motivation is why I am adamant on this topic. I have shared it here and there all throughout discussion on this very thread.

so if you want, you can have the last word.

Typically, I don't take the last word. On this topic, because of the fact that it has led many to relinquish Faith in Jesus Christ, I will oblige on this and express gratitude.

Take care.

All Love in Jesus Christ to you, Sibling in Him.

Love your neighbor as yourself is a superior command. By Loving us, while we were yet sinners, Jesus FORGAVE our transgressions of the Law of Moses. You could even say that LOVE covers a Multitude of Sin. Love is above and beyond Moses. Love fulfilled Moses.

The man that had kept all of the Law of Moses walked away with his head hung low. Why? He failed to honor the Law of Love, as he valued his possessions and carnal obedience above the needs of others.

Love is the Law. All of the Law and Prophets hung by it.

Jesus fulfilled the entire Law with LOVE.

Now, we are commanded to Love.

Judgment of self and others by the stone Law does HARM.

Love does no one Harm.

 

[NewLifeInChristJesus]

Can you please clarify your position- are you saying we only pray for repentance once and once Christ forgives us that includes all future sins- so we can continue in that path of sin and never have to worry about His Judgement?

Christ in His own Words- said when He healed to go and sin no more. Would Christ give a command to do this if it were not possible?

The idea that a person's slate is wiped clean at the front-end of salvation but he must prove he is worthy by not sinning afterterwards is preposterous. Who could survive that paradigm? Answer: no one can survive that paradigm.

Pro 28:13 He who covers his sins will not prosper,
But whoever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy.

So once Christ forgives sins, one never sins again? So the majority of said Christians are not sinning, is this your position, I just want to understand.

We all have sinned and fall short which is why we are under grace, but does grace mean we can sin?

Rom 6:1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? 2 Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it?

And yet we are told God's law is not meant to be burdensome....

1 John 5:3 For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome.

Obeying God the way He asks is not meant to be burdensome, but meant to bless and reconcile

Rev 22:14 Blessed are those who [a]do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city.

It shows we had a conversion in Christ. When we meet Christ we need to change, sadly, people think we can stay the way we are and still be in Christ, but that's one just fooling themselves. If one is in Christ, sin would hurt them, it would be painful because of what it did and does to Christ. He came to save us from our sins Mat 1:21 we are not saved in sin, we must have a conversion, which means our lives and lifestyle are completely changed.

If we sin, we have an advocate with the Father (1 Jn 2:1). If we believe we are not sinners, we are deceiving ourselves, and are not speaking the truth (1 Jn 1:8).

 

[NewLifeInChristJesus]

In my opinion, you are unknowingly calling Grace nothing more than a license to sin.

One of my favorite verses on this subject is Galatians 5:13... "For you, brethren, have been called to liberty; only do not use liberty as an opportunity for the flesh." Galatians has six chapters of warnings to seek rightness with God through trusting Christ instead of through obeying His laws and one verse of instruction to not misuse your liberty.

If a person's flesh does not see liberty as a license to sin, then that person's understanding of liberty is not mature. But a person who refuses to stand fast in his liberty for fear that he may abuse it never experiences the freedom that Christ won for them. This is really sad if you think about it.

Thanks for clarifying.

So in other words, you think once you have repented once from sin, and you have indicated overcoming sin is impossible, so one time repentance cleanses us of all past and future sin and we can sin whenever we like, live however we want and that is going to get one in heaven? Is this what you believe, just trying to clarify your position so I understand it correctly.

If we sin, we have an advocate with the Father (1 Jn 2:1). If we believe we are not sinners, we are deceiving ourselves, and are not speaking the truth (1 Jn 1:8).

Yes, we have all sinned, no doubt, and yes, if we sin we have an Advocate with Jesus and what must we do when we sin? I always like to rely on scripture, instead of my own beliefs.

1 John 1: 9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

I don't see where this say He cleanses us for all future sins. Where is that verse? In the OT they had daily sacrifices for sins- do we not sin daily now? What went away was the sacrificial system, no longer sacrificing an animal because the blood of Jesus can cleanse us of all sin and unrighteousness, but His sacrifice didn't take away the sin problem. If we are living in sin and it no longer bothers us where we want to bring it to Jesus and ask Him to help us overcome, that seems like a dangerous place to be. Heb 10:26-30

Scripture indicates we must not only confess, but forsake our sins, meaning we give up sin, because Jesus doesn't want us to sin.

Pro 28:13 He who covers his sins will not prosper,
But whoever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy.

When we cover our sins, we will not prosper by going to Jesus and laying down our sins at His feet and asking Him to help us to overcome. It why those who teach we don't have to keep God's commandments, is such a dangerous teaching, its the opposite of what Jesus taught Mat 5:19 Mat 15:3-14. If we can't even see our sins (cover them) how will we confess them and ask for Jesus to help us forsake them? When Jesus heals He tells us to go and sin no more. Not go and continue to sin just a little less.

Our salvation is from sin Mat 1:21, but sadly, the devil has taught so many to believe we are saved in our sins. Hence the title of this thread and other scriptures by Jesus who in His own Words says that is not so Mat 7:23 Mat 19:17-19 Mat 5:19 Mat 15:3-14 Not a risk IMHO worth taking considering what's at risk, eternal life with Jesus. Everyone before us who continued in sin without forsaking it, didn't work out so well for them. It's a bit egotistical IMHO that we are so much better, or Jesus loves us more than those who came before us and so many warnings in scripture that state otherwise Heb 4:11 Heb 4:6 1 John 2:3-6 Mat 7:21-23 Rev 22:15. As a Christian why would one not want to overcome our sin and keep God's commandments, He gives us His Spirit to help us overcome John 14:15-18 through our love and faith. Rom 3:31 Rev 14:12 John 14:15 1 John 5:3 Exo 20:6 which reconciles us Rev 22:14

 

[Grip Docility]

Hebrews 10:14 For by one offering He has perfected forever those who are sanctified.
Hebrews 6:6 ....To their loss they are crucifying the Son of God all over again and subjecting him to public disgrace.
Hebrews 13:12 And so Jesus also suffered outside the city gate to make the people holy (Sanctified) through his own blood.

ONE OFFERING FOR ALL SIN

Hebrews 10:29 How much worse punishment do you think one will deserve who has trampled on the Son of God, regarded as profane the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and insulted the Spirit of grace?

Grace = UNMERITED FAVOR (If it is deserved/Merited, IT ISN"T Grace)
Jesus FORGAVE ALL SIN (ONE OFFERING FOR ALL Sin)
Shall we now say that the Spirit of Grace is a PROFANE thing? Is God a promoter of Sin, because God FORGAVE ALL Sin?

Was Jesus Christ's Death NOT sufficient enough to SAVE Sinners? Does He need to Die over and over to forgive ALL Sin? Is the Blood of Jesus Christ POWERFUL enough to bring a SINNER HOME?

Shall the Blood of the GOSPEL become void of GRACE (SALT), that it is to just be Thrown out and Trampled by the feet of MEN?

 

[NewLifeInChristJesus]

Thanks for clarifying.

So in other words, you think once you have repented once from sin

I didn't say anything about repenting from sins.

, and you have indicated overcoming sin is impossible,

I do not believe overcoming sin is impossible. I believe that when we are joined to the Lord, we are one spirit with Him (1 Cor 6:17). I believe that the new man He created when He came to live in our hearts is "created according to God in true righteousness and holiness" (Eph 4:24). I believe the flesh is dead because of its sin, but the spirit is alive because of its righteousness (Ro 8:10). And I believe that one day we will be free from the corruption of the flesh and will have spiritual bodies that are free from sin (Ro 8:23). Only the self-deceived do not recognize that they are sinners (1 John 1:8).

so one time repentance cleanses us of all past and future sin and we can sin whenever we like, live however we want and that is going to get one in heaven?

When you say, "we can sin whenever we like" and "live however we want", it is as if you are aware only of the flesh because those are exactly the kinds of things the flesh thinks. It is not characteristic of what the spirit thinks because being joined to the Lord creates a love for the things of God and a distaste for sin. That is why we long in our spirits to be free from the corruption of the flesh. Nobody who is in the Spirit wants to return to being in the flesh (Ro 8:9).

I chose not to engage on the rest the post because it gets too far afield.

To sin willfully is called a presumptuous sin.

Psalm 19: 13 Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression.

It’s good you mentioned this… Like this…

Numbers 16:1 Korah son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, and certain Reubenites—Dathan and Abiram, sons of Eliab, and On son of Peleth—became insolent[a] 2 and rose up against Moses. With them were 250 Israelite men, well-known community leaders who had been appointed members of the council. 3 They came as a group to oppose Moses and Aaron and said to them, “You have gone too far! The whole community is holy, every one of them, and the Lordis with them. Why then do you set yourselves above the Lord’s assembly?”

Matthew 23 is identical to this, without the earth opening up.

Ezekiel 16:49 Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy. 50They were haughty and did detestable things before me. Therefore I did away with them as you have seen.

The High handed sin is Hypocrisy, which denies that only God is Good.
