law discussions belong in the law/sabbath area, or controvertial.

There are no morals in putting someone to death for not keeping the sabbath, when we have Christ in us now. Or we are reprobate ( without morals) So everyone who never had Christ in them, neither had nor followed any moral. See what I just wrote above in the previous post, if there were morals, or they ONLY APPEARED, when Christ our Lord appeared to show the way.
When God punished with death people who openly and blatantly defied God on Sabbath Law it was not just a concern about "looking good" ritually. It was less that ritual purity, which could be forgiven, than the attitude of rebellion, which invited the entire congregation to defy God. Israel had to learn to make God their only God, or completely fail to show the world there was only one holy God.

It was very important to God, at that time, for Israel to follow His orders because it would become a model for the world to understand God's ways with men. The Sabbath showed that human works were insufficiernt to obtain Eternal Life.

Now that we have been given access to Christ for Eternal Life, Israel need no longer show that their works must cease at least one day a week. But as always, Israel and all nations in covenant with God, must obey His specific instructions and not rebel against Him for the cause of respecting His holiness. It is *always moral* to obey God's specific instructions.

To say that people who are not Christians are unable to be moral is, I think, incorrect. God created Man to live in His image. Even after the Fall people still exist to live in God's image and may indeed produce deeds after God's likeness.

The real issue is whether our now-stained human works are able to achieve Eternal Life.? And since the garden of Eden, Man has been banned, along with his works, from the Tree of Life.

Eternal Life is therefore unachievable by human works. And that's what Sabbath Law represented, the need to stop human works at least one day out of the week to show the need to end human works at some point, to show that human works are contaminated and must end.

Eternal Life is achievable only by demonstrating good faith in Christ's exclusive work for our redemption. He alone was our atonement for sin. As such, despite our sin we are able to show by our faith in him that we truly live through him. If by our faith we show that we live in him, and he has Eternal Life, our choice to live in him obtains Eternal Life.

We are made in God's image and likeness Gen 1:26 so when God worked 6 days and rested on the seventh day, it was not because God needed rest, He has always been the example for man to follow.

But sadly, people go on and start changing God's words because He never said rest on the day you want. Don't rest on the day I rested, as you were not made in My likeness, you just pick a day, even if I never sanctified it for holy use, but made the day for works and labors. Sadly, this teaching is man's teaching, not God's that people follow over what God said.

This kind of thinking is what got our first parents in trouble. God said not to eat from ONE tree, not pick the one tree they didn't want to eat from. These changes to God's word, is what is leading people down the wrong path Thinking their words are the same or as equal to what God, the Creator said from His own mouth. Man telling God what His Sabbath represented despit no Scripture of Him saying so, just shows the state of affairs this world is in.

There is no pick the day in God's example or His Testimony.

Exo 20:8 “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. 11 For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.

Gen 2:1-3 Thus the heavens and the earth, and all the host of them, were finished. 2 And on the seventh day God ended His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done. 3 Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it He rested from all His work which God had created and made.

Eze 22:26 Her priests have violated My law and profaned My holy things; they have not distinguished between the holy and unholy, nor have they made known the difference between the unclean and the clean; and they have hidden their eyes from My Sabbaths, so that I am profaned among them.

If we are living in Him, wouldn't one be abiding in His words and not anyone else's?

John 12:48 He who rejects Me, and does not receive My words, has that which judges him— the word that I have spoken will judge him in the last day.

You're explaining God's motives in resting after Creation? Why don't you let God explain why He rested? How can you, a man, speak for God and explain to the rest of us that God rested only for Man?

I should think God does things regardless of Man since He does things for His own reasons and only for Himself. Did He really need to rest in order to set an example for Man when we know that Sabbath rest is related to human sin--something that had not even happened when God originally rested?
But sadly, people go on and start changing God's words because He never said rest on the day you want.
God didn't tell *all people* to experience Sabbath rest--just the Jewish People. And it was only until Christ's works went on record so that Israel could trust in that, as opposed to their own works and rest

I don't need to explain, I let God do so and nowhere in the Text did He say, pick the day. Quoting God and believing Him just as He says, is not explaining, its allowing God to be God. Pro3:5-6

Hi Randy, I am replying to everybody reading the thread, about the same answer, if there are MORALS IN ANYONE OUTSIDE OF CHRIST..

Does anyone hold morals, that is in the law ?

Moses who gave the LAW to the children of Israel in the wilderness, ALSO LIFTED UP THE SERPENT IN THE WILDERNESS. The Son of man was lifted up that whosoever believes in Him does not perish, but to have eternal life. ( THE ONES WHO BELIEVED GOD IN THE WILDERNESS WERE BITTTEN OF THE SERPENT ON THE POLE AND LIVED.) God loved the world so much He gave HIs only begotten Son, so whosoever believes on Him should not perish ( with the world) but have everlasting LIFE.

God sent His Son into the world, that the world through Him might be saved, not to condemn the world. He that believes on the Son of God is not condemned, but he that believes not on the Son IS CONDEMNED ALREADY, because he has NOT BELIEVED, in the name of the only begotten So of God.

The condemnation is that LIGHT is come into the WORLD, and the men who loved darkness rather than light, do so because their deeds are evil. Every one that does evil HATES THE LIGHT, NEITHER COMES TO THE LIGHT, that his deeds would be reproved, but men that do truth come to the LIGHT, for their deeds to be manifested, to be made in God.




Numbers 21:8 And the Lord said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live.

John 3:14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.




Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour spoke as all judgment was committed from the Father to the Son, so all men gad to honour the Son even as they honour the Father, if they did not honour the Son it meant they did not honour God the Father. Hearing the word of the Son of God and believing on the Father who sent Him, is to not come into CONDEMNATION, but be passed from DEATH UNTO LIFE. The DEAD who HEAR the voice of the Son of God shall LIVE.




John 5:22 For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:
23 That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.
24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
25 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.



The works that the Son was given by the Father to finish, bear witness of Him that the Father sent Him. The children of Israel never heard His voice at any time. ( they who hear the voice of the Son of man shall live.) they do not have Gods word abiding in them, for the Son who the Father sent to them, they do not believe in. The scriptures the children of Israel have confirm, in those scriptures they think they have eternal life, but the same scriptures testify of the Son, and they do not come to the Son that they may have LIFE.



John 5:36 But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me.
37 And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.
38 And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not.
39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.
40 And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.



Jesus knew the children of Israel did NOT HAVE THE LOVE OF GOD IN THEM. The Son came in the Fathers name and they did NOT RECEIVE Him, but anyone who comes in their OWN NAME, they receive. One ACCUSES them for this, which is MOSES. The children of Israel, ( those under the LAW) trust in Moses, but DO NOT BELIEVE IN MOSES, for if they did believe they would have believed in the Son, Moses write of the Son. But the children of Israel DO NOT BELIEVE IN THE WRITINGS OF MOSES, so cannot believe in the Sons WORDS.


John 5:42 But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.
43 I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.
44 How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only?
45 Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust.
46 For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me; for he wrote of me.
47 But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?



Jesus tells the children of Israel how MOSES, did not give them bread from heaven, but HIs Father gives the TRYE BREAD FROM HEAVEN, the Bread of God being He which came DOWN from heaven, and gives LIFE unto the world.

Jesus tells the children of Israel, He is the bread of LIFE, and how they who come to Him shall never hunger, and they who believe in Hm shall never thirst. ( the children of Israel hungered and thirsted in the wilderness, and fed them with manna, so they mght know that man will not live by bread/manna, alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God, man shall LIVE. Remember they had never heard the Fathers voice at any time/those who hear the voice of the Son of God shall live. Deuteronomy 8:3.)

The children of Israel saw the Son of God but did not believe, and tells them that all that the Father gives to the Son shall COME TO HIM, and those who come to Him He will not cast out. The Fathers will who sent the Son is of all those the Father has given to the Son, should not be lost, but the Son should raise them again at the last day. The will of the Farther who sent the Son is that ever one who sees the Son and BELIEVES ON HIM, may have Everlasting LIFE, and the Son will raise them up at the last day.




Deuteronomy 8:3 And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the Lord doth man live.

John 6:32 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven.
33 For the bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.

John 6:35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.

John 6:36 But I said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and believe not.
37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.

John 6:39 And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.
40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.



The throne was testified in Isaiah 16, to be established in mercy, ( grace through faith) and He sits in the tabernacle of David judging, seeking judgment and hasting righteousness. ( THE TABERNACLE OF DAVID THAT IS FALLEN, from its ruins to be SET UP, so the RESIDUE/remnant of men might seek after the Lord, all the GENTILES upon whom He name is CALLED/all the SINNERS of HIs people shall by by the SWORD, and God will RAISE UP, the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and RSISE UP, his ruins, that they may POSESS the REMNANT of Edom, and ALL THE HEATHEN upon whom HIs name is CALLED.



Amos 9:10 All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword, which say, The evil shall not overtake nor prevent us.
11 In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old:
12 That they may possess the remnant of Edom, and of all the heathen, which are called by my name, saith the Lord that doeth this.

Acts 15:14 Simeon hath declared how God at the first did visit the Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name.
15 And to this agree the words of the prophets; as it is written,
16 After this I will return, and will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; and I will build again the ruins thereof, and I will set it up:
17 That the residue of men might seek after the Lord, and all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is called, saith the Lord, who doeth all these things.


Isaiah 16:5 And in mercy shall the throne be established: and he shall sit upon it in truth in the tabernacle of David, judging, and seeking judgment, and hasting righteousness.

Isaiah 65:1 I am sought of them that asked not for me; I am found of them that sought me not: I said, Behold me, behold me, unto a nation that was not called by my name.




ESTABLISHED IN THE FAITH, the mediator of a BETTER COVENANT, ESTABLISHED UPON BETTTER PROMISES.

Christ being come a high priest of good things to come, by a GREATER and MORE PERFCT TABERNACLE/not of this building. ( BUILD/RAISE UP AGAIN THE TABERNACLE OF DAVID THAT IS FALLEN/Christ raised from the dead works of the first imperfect covenant.)



Acts 16:5 And so were the churches established in the faith, and increased in number daily.

Hebrews 8:6 But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.

Hebrews 9:11 But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building;




The barren that did not bear, sings, for there are more children of the desolate than the children of the married wife. The seed shall inherit the Gentiles, to make what was desolate to be inhabited. ( the Gentiles/children of the free, who were desolate. Galatians 4:24-29.)

Those who were desolate will not be ASHAMED, for they will forget the shame of being desolate, for their husband will be their Maker, the Lord of hosts, and our REDEEMER, the Holy ONE of Israel, the God of the whole earth He shall be called.

God comforts us ( Matthew 5:4.) who were not comforted, and says BEHOLD, He lays the stones with fair colours, and lays the foundation with SAPPHIRES.

ALL THESE CHILDREN SHALL BE TAUGHT OF THE LORD/and GREAT SHALL BE THE PEACE OF THESE CHILDREN. ( John 6:44-45/14:27. 16:33. Acts 10:36.)

This is established in righteousness, far from oppression, no fear, no terror, it wont come near. ( it is in HEAVEN.) This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord. Their RIGHTEOUSNESS IS OF HIM, says the Lord. ( Romans 10:3.)




Isaiah 54:1 Sing, O barren, thou that didst not bear; break forth into singing, and cry aloud, thou that didst not travail with child: for more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife, saith the Lord.
2 Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes;
3 For thou shalt break forth on the right hand and on the left; and thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited.

Isaiah 54:4 Fear not; for thou shalt not be ashamed: neither be thou confounded; for thou shalt not be put to shame: for thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth, and shalt not remember the reproach of thy widowhood any more.
5 For thy Maker is thine husband; the Lord of hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called.

Isaiah 54:11 O thou afflicted, tossed with tempest, and not comforted, behold, I will lay thy stones with fair colours, and lay thy foundations with sapphires.
12 And I will make thy windows of agates, and thy gates of carbuncles, and all thy borders of pleasant stones.
13 And all thy children shall be taught of the Lord; and great shall be the peace of thy children.
14 In righteousness shalt thou be established: thou shalt be far from oppression; for thou shalt not fear: and from terror; for it shall not come near thee.

Isaiah 54:17 No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord.

John 6:44 No man can come to me, except THE FATHER WHICH HATH SENT ME DRAW HIM: and I will raise him up at the last day.
45 IT IS WRITTEN IN THE PROPHETS, And THEY SHALL ALL BE TAUGHT OF GOD. Every MAN THEREFORE THAT HATH HEARD, and hath learned of the Father, COMETH UNTO ME.

Romans 7:4 Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become DEAD TO THE LAW by the body of Christ; that ye should be MARRIED TO ANOTHER, even to HIM WHO IS RAISED FROM THE DEAD, that we should BRING FORTH FRUIT UNTO GOD. ( fruit of the Spirit from the seed in you. 1 John 3:9.)

Romans 9:30 What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith.
31 But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness.
32 Wherefore? Because THEY SOUGHT IT NOT BY FAITH, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone;
33 As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH ON HIM SHALL NOT BE ASHAMED.

Romans 10:3 For they BEING IGNORANT OF GOD'S RIGHTEOUSNESS, and going about to establish their own righteousness, HAVE NOT SUBMITTED THEMSELVES UNTO THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD.

Romans 10:10 For WITH THE HEART MAN BELIEVES UNTO RIGHTEOUSNESS and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
11 For the scripture saith, WHOSOEVER BELIEVES ON HIM SHALL NOT BE ASHAMED.

Galatians 3:13 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 THROGH FAITH.

Galatians 4:25 For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to JERUSALEM WHICH NOW IS, and is IN BONDAGE WITH HER CHILDREN.
26 But JERUSALEM WHICH IS ABOVE IS FREE, which is THE MOTHER OF US ALL.
27 For IT IS WRITTEN, Rejoice, THOU BARREN THAT BEAREST NOT; break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: for THE DESOLATE HATH MANYY MORE CHILDREN THAN SHE WHICH HATH AN HUSBAND.
28 Now WE, BRETHREN, as Isaac was, ARE THE CHILDREN OF THE PROMISE.
29 But as then HE THAT WAS BORN AFTER THE FLESH PERSECUTED HIM THAT WAS BORN AFTER THE SPIRIT, EVEN SO IT IS NOW.


Revelation 21:2 And I John saw THE HOLY CITY, NEW JERUSALEM, COMING DOWN FROM GOD OUT OF HAVENEN, prepared AS A BRIDE adorned FOR HER HUSBAND.

Revelation 21:6 And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I WILL GIVE UNO HIM THAT IS ATHIRST OF THE FOUNTAIN OF THE ATER OF LIFE FREELY.
7 HE THAT OVERCOMETH SHALL INHERIT ALL THINGS and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
8 But the fearful, and UNBELIEVING, and the ABOMINABLE, and MURDERERS, and WHOREMONGERS, and sorcerers, and IDOLATORS and ALL LIARS, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is THE SECOND DEATH.

Revelation 21:10 And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, THE HOLY JERUSALEM, descending out of heaven from God,
11 Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal;

Revelation 21:19 And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first FOUNDATION was jasper; the SECOND, SAPPHIRE; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald;
20 The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolyte; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst.

Revelation 21:27 And there shall in NO WISE ENTER INTO IT ANY THING THAT DEFILETH, neither whatsoever worketh ABOMINATION, or MAKETH A LIE: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of LIFE.




Jesus tells the children of Israel, whosoever believes on Him has everlasting LIFE. He is that bread of LIFE. The children of Israels fathers ate manna in the wilderness and are DEAD. This bread came down from heaven, that a man can eat of that bread and NOT DIE. Jesus is the LIVING bread which came down from heaven, if any man eats of that bread he shall LIVE for ever, the bread He shall give is HIs flesh, which He gives for the LIFE of the world.

Jesus tells the children of Israel, that unless they eat of the flesh of the Son of man, and drink His blood, they have NO LIFE IN THEM. ( they are DEAD without Him.) Those who eat HIs flesh and drink HIs blood have eternal LIFE, and He will raise them up at the last day. HIs flesh is meat INDEED, and HIs blood is drink INDEED. He that eats HIs flesh and drinks HIs blood, dwells in Him and the Son dwells in him. The Son LIVES by the Father who sent Him, so those who eat the LIVING Son shall LIVE by Him. This is that bread which came down from heaven, not as the children of Israels fathers ate manna and are DEAD, as he that eats of this bread shall LIVE for ever.




John 6:47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.
48 I am that bread of life.
49 Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead.
50 This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.
51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.

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.
56 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.
57 As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.
58 This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever.



Some of them did not believe, and tells them again that no man can come to the Son unless it was given to him of HIs Father. Many disciples of Jesus went away and did not walk with Him any more.

Jesus stood in the last day of the great feast, and declares to the children of Israel ( a better feast) that those who believe on the Son of God, as the scripture has said, out of HIs belly shall flow rivers of LIVING water. ( this Jesus spoke of the Spirit, which they who believe on Him would receive, the Holy Ghost to be given when Jesus was glorified.)




John 6:64 But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him.
65 And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father.
66 From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.

John 7:37 In THE LAST DAY, THAT GREAT DAY OF THE FEAST, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.
38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
39 (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)




Jesus speaks to the Jews who believed on Him, for them to continue in HIs word, to be His disciples INDEED. ( for HIs flesh is meat INDEED, and His blood is drink INDEED.) To KNOW THE TRUTH, ( the truth is in Jesus/God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them. 2 Corinthians 5:19. Ephesians 4:21.) and the truth shall make them free.

Jesus tells the children of Israel how those who commit sin are the servants of sin. ( SERVANTS OF SIN IN THE LAW HAVE ANY MORALS ?) and if the Son shall make them free, ( to know the truth and the truth shall make you free/the truth is in Jesus/God in Christ, reconciling the world unto Himself not imputing their trespasses unto them.) they shall be free INDEED. Jesus tells he children of Israel why they go about to kill Him, as His word has NO PLACE IN THEM.

Jesus tells the children of Israel that is God was their Father, they would LOVE the Son, for He proceeded forth and came from God, He did not come of Himself, the Father sent Him. ( TESTIFIED OF IN THEIR SCRIPTURES/GOD DECLARES THE END FROM THE BEGINNING.) But that they cannot understand HIs speech, as they CANNOT HEAR HIS WORD.

Jesus tells he children of Israel that they are of their father, which is the devil, a MURDERER from the beginning, speaking LIES, of his own as he is the father of LIES. ( NO MURDERER NO LIAR INTO NEW JERUSALEM REVELATION 21.) Because Jesus tells them the truth they do not believe. ( the truth which would set them free if they believed in the Son.) They did not hear Gods word because they are NOT OF GOD.

The children of Israel considered they see, but if they were blind Jesus tells them, they would have no sin, but their sin REMAINED.

He that is dead is freed from sin. ( the children of Israel also considered they lived, not that they were DEAD/they did not believe in Jesus to free them from sin.) Knowing/believing that Christ was raised from the DEAD, He dies no more, death has no more dominion over Him. ( sin shall not have dominion over them that are dead and freed from death, for they are not under the law, but under grace.) We yield our members/bodies as instruments of righteousness unto Go, as those that are ALIVE from the DEAD, with Christ, and DEAD unto sin.

We are to know ( unlike the children of Israel/those under the law who DO NOT KNOW.) that to who we yield ourselves servants to obey, his servants we are, which is sin unto DEATH, or obedience unto righteousness. When the doctrine of Christ is delivered and received, from the heart it is obeyed, to be made fee from sin, ( by the truth that is in Christ/reconciling and not imputing our trespasses) to BECOME SERVANTS OF RIGHTEOSNESS. Before the members/bodies are yielded servants to uncleanness to iniquity unto iniquity, and when anyone was a servant of sin they were FREE FROM RIGHTEOUSNESS. ( without MORALS in the law) NO FRUIT and ASHAMED, ( anyone who believes in the Son wont be ashamed.) and the end of those things is DEATH. The gift of God is eternal LIFE through our LORD Jesus Christ.





John 9:41 Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth.

John 8:31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;
32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
33 They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?
34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.
35 And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever.
36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
37 I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.

John 8:42 Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.
43 Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.

John 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a LIE, he speaketh of his own: for he is a LIAR, and the father of it.
45 And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.
46 Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?
47 He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.

Romans 6:7 For he that is dead is freed from sin.
8 Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:
9 Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.
10 For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.
11 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.
13 Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.
14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.


Romans 6:15 What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.
16 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?
17 But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.
18 Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.
19 I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.
20 For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness.
21 What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.
22 But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life.
23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

2 Corinthians 5:19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.

Ephesians 4:21 If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:

Sunday is not a commandment of God, but a tradition of man. The Sabbath is a commandment of God, written and spoken by God that sits under His mercy seat. Exo 20:8-11

Jesus answers this very principle quoting from the Ten Commandments

Mark 7:And in vain they worship Me,
Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’
8 For laying aside (saying its not for me) the commandment of God, you hold the tradition of men

Mat 15:3 He answered and said to them, “Why do you also transgress the commandment of God because of your tradition? 4 For God commanded, saying, ‘Honor your father and your mother’; and, ‘He who curses father or mother, let him be put to death.’ 5 But you say, ‘Whoever says to his father or mother, “Whatever profit you might have received from me is a gift to God”— 6 then he need not honor his father [a]or mother.’ Thus you have made the [b]commandment of God of no effect by your tradition. 7 Hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy about you, saying:

8 ‘These people [c]draw near to Me with their mouth,
And honor Me with their lips,
But their heart is far from Me.
9 And in vain they worship Me,
Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’


10 When He had called the multitude to Himself, He said to them, “Hear and understand: 11 Not what goes into the mouth defiles a man; but what comes out of the mouth, this defiles a man.”

12 Then His disciples came and said to Him, “Do You know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this saying?”

13 But He answered and said, “Every plant which My heavenly Father has not planted will be uprooted. 14 Let them alone. They are blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind leads the blind, both will fall into a ditch.”
So the vast majority of Christians, who worship on Sunday, are indeed living in sin and their salvation is very much in question according to your theology. Right?
