No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator.

HEAR O ISRAEL, THE LORD OUR GOD IS ONE LORD...AND HIS COMMANDMENT ONE, HIS COMMANDMENTS... THE LAW AND PROPHETS.

The LYING antichrist spirit does not believe in Jesus Christ, so let our Lord Jesus Christ answer for us, against that antichrist spirit, how we are to believe in Jesus while we can. ( 1 John 2:22.)

1 John 2:22 WHO IS A LIAR BUT HE THAT DENIETH that JESUS IS RTHE CHRIST? He is antichrist, that DENIETH THE FATHER AND THE SON.



Look how simple it is. (The simplicity that is in Christ to not be corrupted from it, as Eve was BEGUILED through the subtilty of the serpent. 2 Corinthians 11:3.)





ASK, and it SHALL BE GIVEN, seek and YOU SHALL FIND, knock and it SHALL BE OPENED UNTO YOU.

EVERY ONE that ASKS, RECEIVES, he that SEEKS FINDS, to him that KNOCKS it SHALL BE OPENED.

How much more shall your Father which is in Heaven give good things, to THEM THAT ASK HIM.

Therefore ALL THINGS THAT YOU WOULD THAT MEN SHOULD DO TO YOU, do you EVEN SO THE SAME: for THIS IS THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS.

Straight is the gate and NARROW is the WAY, which LEADS unto LIFE, and FEW there be that FIND IT. ( SEEK AND YOU SHALL FIND.)

AND As you WOULD THAT MEN SHOULD DO TO YOU, do you ALSO TO THEM LIKEWISE.

SINNERS love those who love them. If you do good to those who do good to you, what thanks have you, for SINNERS DO EVEN THE SAME.

But LOVE YOU YOUR ENEMIES, and DO GOOD, AND your reward shall be great, YOU shall be the children of the Highest,
for He is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil. Be YOU therefore MERCIFUL, as your Father also IS MERCIFUL.


I say unto YOU, ASK, and IT SHALL BE GIVEN YOU; SEEK, and YOU SHALL FIND; KNOCK, and it SHALL BE OPENED UNTO YOU.

EVERY ONE that ASKS RECEIVES; and HE THAT SEEKS FINDS; and TO HIM that KNOCKS it SHALL BE OPENED.

If you then BEING EVIL, know how to give GOOD GIFTS unto your children, how much MORE shall your HEAVENLY FATHER, GIVE the HOLY SPIRIT to THEM that ASK HIM?





Matthew 7:7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?
10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?
11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?


Matthew 7:12 Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.
13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.


Luke 6:30 Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again.
31 And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.
32 For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them.
33 And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same.
34 And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again.
35 But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.
36 Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.

Luke 11:9 And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.
10 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
11 If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?
12 Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?
13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?



The great COMMANDMENT in the law ( THIS IS THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS.) is to love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, ( THAT IS THE FIRST AND GREAT COMMANDMENT.) and the second is LIKE UNTO IT, ( THE FIRST GREAT COMMANDMENT IS THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS, AND THE SECOND IS LIKE UNTO IT.) you shall love your neighbour as yourself. (ON THESE TWO COMMANDMENTS HANG ALL THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS.)

The FIRST commandment OF ALL, is HEAR O ISRAEL, the Lord our God is ONE Lord, and you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength, this is the FIRST COMMANDMENT. The second is this, you shall love your neighbour as yourself. There is NONE OTHER COMMANDMENT, greater, than THESE.




Matthew 22:36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
38 This is the first and great commandment.
39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.



Mark 12:28 And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all?
29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:
30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.
31 And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.
32 And the scribe said unto him, Well, Master, thou hast said the truth: for there is one God; and there is none other but he:
33 And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.
34 And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said unto him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that durst ask him any question.




Jesus said to the Jews, He goes HIs way, and they shall SEEK HIM, and shall DIE IN THEIR SINS, as where He GOES, they cannot come.

Jesus answers them, they are from beneath, He is from above, they are of this world, He is not of this world. Jesus tells them they shall die in their sins, as He said it to them that if they do not BELIEVE that HE IS HE, they shall DIE IN THEIR SINS.

Jesus tells the same Jews, when they have lifted up the Son of man, then they SHALL KNOW THAT HE IS HE, as He did nothing of Himself, but as HIs Father taught Him, He spoke those things. The Father with Him, for He did always those things that please Him.

Jesus again tells the same Jews, that truly He says unto them, whosoever commits sin is the servant of sin, and that servant wont abide for ever, but the Son abides for ever in the house, so if the Son SHALL MAKE YOU FREE, you SHALL BE FREE INDEED.

Jesus tells the Jews He does not seek HIs own glory, there is ONE that SEEKS and judges. Jesus tells them, that truly if a man keeps His SAYING, he shall NEVER SEE DEATH.

Jesus also tells them He KNOWS that HIs COMMANDMENT is LIFE EVERLASTING, whatsoever He speaks, He speaks EVEN as the Father said unto Him.




John 8:21 Then said Jesus again unto them, I go my way, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sins: whither I go, ye cannot come.
22 Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself? because he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come.
23 And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.
24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.

John 8:28 Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.
29 And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.

John 8:34 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.

John 8:50 And I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.
51 Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death.

John 12:50 And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.




Jesus speaking to His disciples, tells them, YOU SHALL SEEK ME, and as He said unto the Jews, where He goes, they cannot come, so now says THIS TO THEM. (Jesus told the Jews they could not come to where He went if they did not believe HE WAS HE and would DIE IN THEIR SINS.)

A NEW COMMANDMENT He gave unto them, that they LOVE ONE ANOTHER, as He has LOVED THEM, that they ALSO LOVE ONE ANOTHER. By this all men know they ARE HIS DISCIPLES, if they have LOVE ONE TO ANOTHER.

Jesus speaking to His disciples, says, HE IS THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE. ( NARROW IS THE WAY WHICH LEADS UNTO LIFE/FEW THERE BE THAT FIND IT/SEEK AND YOU SHALL FIND.) no man comes unto the Father, BUT BY HIM. If we have known Him, we should have known His Father also, and from THEN, (NOW I SAY UNTO YOU, A NEW COMMANDMENT I GIVE UNTO YOU, THAT YOU LOVE ONE ANOTHER AS I HAVE LOVED YOU.) they know Him, and HAVE SEEN HIM... All things He has heard of the Father He has made KNOWN UNTO THEM. John 15:15.))



John 13:33 Little children, yet a little while I am with you. Ye shall seek me: and as I said unto the Jews, Whither I go, ye cannot come; so now I say to you.
34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.

John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
7 If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.





Jesus tells the disciples, if they love Him, to keep His commandments, ( a NEW COMMANDMENT He gave them, to love one another, as He has loved them.) and He will pray the Father and He shall give them ANOTHER COMFORTER, to abide with them for ever. (the servant abides not ever in the house, but the Son ABIDES.) the Spirit of truth whom the world CANNOT RECEIVE, because it SEES HIM NOT, neither KNOWS HIM, but the disciples know Him, for He dwells with them and shall be in them. ( He will not leave them comfortless, HE WILL COME TO THEM.)

Jesus tells the disciples, just a little while and the world will see Him no more, (for ever.) but the disciples see Him, and because He lives (they believe He shall live.) they shall live ALSO, at that day (Jesus told the Jews when they have lifted up the Son of man then they shall know HE IS HE and did nothing of Himself but as the Father taught Him He spoke those things. John 8:28.) they know He is in His Father, and they are in Him, and He is in them.

Jesus tells the disciples, he that has HIs commandments and keeps them, is he that LOVES HIM, and he that LOVES HIM, shall be LOVED OF HIS FATHER, and Jesus will LOVE HIM and will MANIFEST HIMSELF to him.

Jesus answers to judas, that if a man LOVES JESUS, he will keep His words, and HIs Father will LOVE HIM, and will come unto him and make His abode with him. (the Father and the Son.) He that does not LOVE HIM does not keep His sayings, and the Word which is heard is not HIs, but the Father's which sent Him.

Jesus tells the disciples, He tells these things being present with them, but the Comforter which is the Holy Ghost, ( Jesus Christ.) whom the Father sends in His name, (Christ shall come to us comfort and dwell in us, whom the world sees no more.) shall TEACH THEM ALL THINGS, and bring to their remembrance ALL THINGS whatsoever He had said unto them.

Jesus tells the disciples, they have heard how He said unto them, He goes away, and COMES AGAIN UNTO THEM.

If they LOVED HIM, they would rejoice, because He said He GOES UNTO THE FATHER: For His Father is GREATER than He.

He tells them before it is come to pass, that, when it was come to pass, they MIGHT BELIEVE.

That the world may know that He loves the Father; and as the Father gave Him COMMANDMENT, even so He does. (OF THE PRINCE OF THIS WORLD COMING AND HAVING NOTHING IN THE SON/AND OF THE SON NOW LAYING HIS LIFE DOWN FOR THE WORLD. John 14:28-31.)





John 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.
16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

John 14:18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.

John 14:19 Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.
20 At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.
21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.

John 14:23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.

John 14:25 These things have I spoken unto you, being yet present with you.
26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

John 14:28 Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.
29 And now I have told you before it come to pass, that, when it is come to pass, ye might believe.
30 Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me.
31 But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence.

Jesus tells the disciples, AS THE FATHER HAS LOVED HIM, SO HAS HE LOVED THEM. (to CONTINUE IN HIS LOVE.)

If they keep His commandments. (IT IS ABIDING IN HIS LOVE, EVEN AS HE ABIDED IN HIS FATHER'S LOVE/to have kept His Father's commandments. )

Jesus spoke these things unto them, that His Joy may REMAIN IN THEM, and that their Joy may be FULL.

This is His COMMANDMENT, that they LOVE ONE ANOTHER, AS HE HAS LOVED THEM.

They are His FRIENDS, if they do ALL, whatsoever He commands them. (HIS COMMANDMENT TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER AS HE HAS LOVED THEM/GREATER LOVE, THAT A MAN LAY DOWN HIS LIFE FOR HIS FRIENDS.)

Jesus tells them He does not call then from THEM, servants, as the servant does not KNOW what his Lord does, but He has called them FRIENDS, for ALL THINGS which He has heard of HIs Father, He has MADE KNOWN UNTO THEM.

Jesus also tells them they have not chosen Him, (seek and you shall find/few find the narrow way to life.) but He has chosen them and ordained them that they should go and bring forth FRUIT, and that their FRUIT SHOULD REMAIN. These things He COMMANDS THEM, that they LOVE ONE ANOTHER.

Again Jesus tells His disciples, it is essential for them that He GOES AWAY, for if He did not GO AWAY, the Comforter will NOT COME unto THEM, but if He DEPARTS, He will send Him unto them.

When the Comforter did come, He reproved the world of SIN, because they DO NOT BELIEVE ON HIM. (they shall die in their sins if they do not BELIEVE He is He.)

Of RIGHTEOUSNESS, because He GOES TO HIS FATHER, and they SEE HIM NO MORE. (the world sees Him no more, but they see Him/He comes to them, and because He lives, they shall live also.)

Of JUDGEMENT, because the PRINCE OF THIS WORLD IS JUDGED. (the prince of this world came, but that the world may know that He loves the Father; and as the Father gave Him commandment, even so He did.)





John 15:9 As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.
10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.
11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.
12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.
13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.

John 15:15 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.
16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.
17 These things I command you, that ye love one another.

John 16:7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.
8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
9 Of sin, because they believe not on me;
10 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;
11 Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.





The REVELATION OF THE MYSTERY, kept SECRET SINCE THE WORLD BEGAN, but now is MANIFEST, and by the SCRIPTURES of the PROPHETS, (all the law and the prophets hang/are, in doing to others as you would have them do unto you/to love the Lord your God with all your heart, and your neighbour as yourself.) ACCORDING to the COMMANDMENT of the EVERLASTING God, MADE KNOWN to all nations for the OBEDIENCE OF FAITH. To God ONLY WISE, be glory through Jesus Christ, for ever. Amen.

Having ABOLISHED in HIs flesh the EMNITY, even the LAW of COMMANDMENTS, contained in ORDINANCES, for to MAKE in Himself of both, ONE NEW MAN, so making peace.

BEAR ONE ANOTHERS BURDENS, SO FULFIL, the LAW OF CHRIST.






Romans 16:25 Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began,
26 But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith:
27 To God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ for ever. Amen.


Ephesians 2:15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace;


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






FOR WE KNOW WHAT COMMANDMENTS given by the LORD JESUS. We received how to WALK and to PLEASE God, (the Son always pleased the Father/knowing His COMMANDMENT is life everlasting, even so He did/expedient for the disciples that Jesus went away, so He can come again unto them/dwell with them/the world seeing Him no more, but they seeing him, and because He lives, they shall live also.) SO we would ABOUND more and more.

This is the WILL OF GOD, (COMMANDMENT.) our sanctification, that every one of us SHOULD KNOW how to be in sanctification and honour, (the Son MADE KNOWN TO THEM ALL THINGS HE HAD HEARD OF HIS FATHER TO CALL THEM FRIENDS.)

To not be in lust as those which KNOW NOT GOD, to not go and defraud IS BROTHER, in any matter, because the Lord is the avenger of ALL SUCH, as they have heard the warning and testimony.

THE END OF THE COMMANDMENT, is CHARITY, out of a PURE HEART, (the great commandment to LOVE the Lord your God with all your HEART and your neighbour AS YOURSELF.) and of a GOOD CONSCIENCE, and of FAITH UNFEIGNED, some have gone aside DESIRING TO BE TEACHERS OF THE LAW, understanding NOTHING of what they AFFIRM, or what they SAY.

But we know THIS, the LAW IS NOT MADE FOR A RIGHTEOUS MAN.

BUT FOR THE LAWLESS, THE DISOBEDIENT, THE UNGODLY, FOR SINNERS, FOR UNHOLY, FOR LIARS, ALL THAT IS AGAINST SOUND DOCTRINE.

The man of God FLEES THOSE, to FLLOW RIGHTEOUSNESS, GODLINESS, FAITH, LOVE, PARTIENCE, MEEKNESS.

To FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT OF FAITH, to lay hold on ETERNAL LIFE, where they are CALLED, PROFESSING a GOOD PROFESSION before many WITNESSES. Keep THIS COMMANDMENT without spot, UNREBUKABLE, UNTIL THE APPEARING OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST:






1 Thessalonians 4:1 Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, so ye would abound more and more.
2 For ye know what commandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus.

1 Thessalonians 4:3 For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:
4 That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour;
5 Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God:
6 That no man go beyond and defraud his brother in any matter: because that the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified.

1 Timothy 1:5 Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned:
6 From which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling;
7 Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm.

1 Timothy 1:9 Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,
10 For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine;

1 Timothy 6:11 But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.
12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.
13 I give thee charge in the sight of God, who quickeneth all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession;
14 That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:




Stirring up our PURE MINDS, to be mindful of the words spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the COMMANDMENT of the Apostles of the Lord and Saviour.

To be DILLIGENT that we may be found of Hi in peace WITHOUT SPOT, blameless, and account of the Lord's salvation, ( His LONGSUFFERING.) as our beloved brother Paul according to the wisdom given unto him has ALSO written unto us, in all his epistles, speaking of these things which are some things hard to be UNDERSTOOD, which they which are UNLEARNED and UNSTABLE, wrest, as THEY DO the OTHER SCRIPTURES, unto their OWN DESTRUCTION.)

The beloved KNOWING THESE THINGS BEFORE, are to BEWARE, unless they also are led away with the ERROR OF THE WICKED, to FALL from their own STEDFASTNESS. But to grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, to Him be glory both ow and for ever. Amen.






2 Peter 3:1 This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance:
2 That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour:

2 Peter 3:14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.
15 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;
16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.

2 Peter 3:17 Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.
18 But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.






We keep HIs commandments by KNOWING Him, or we are a liar, and no truth IS IN US. (by Christ dwelling in us.)

Keeping His word is the LOVE of God PERFECTED. (greater love has no man than this, for a man to lay His life down for His friends/we are His friends if we do all whatsoever He commands us/to love one another EVEN AS HE HAS LOVED US.) hereby we know that WE ARE IN HIM.

A new commandment is not written unto us, as it is an old commandment which we HAD FROM THE BEGINNING. Again a ne commandment is written to us, as it is TRUE AND IN HIM AND IN US, because the true light now shines. If we say we are in the light, and hate we are in darkness, he that loves his brother ABIDES in the LIGHT, there is no occasion of stumbling IN HIM. (THE LIGHT IS IN HIM.)

The world passes away and the lust of it, but he that does the WILL of God ABIDES for ever. (the will of God which WE KNOW is sanctification, not as the Gentiles, which KNOW NOT GOD.)

Now the LITTLE CHILDREN ABIDE IN HIM, that when He appears they may have CONFIDENCE, and no be ASHAMED, (whosoever BELIEVES on Him SHALL not be ASHAMED. Romans 9:33.) if we KNOW He is RIGHTEOUS, we know every one that does RIGHTEOUSNESS, is BORN OF HIM.





1 John 2:4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
5 But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.
6 He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.

1 John 2:7 Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye have heard from the beginning.
8 Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth.
9 He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now.
10 He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him.

1 John 2:17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

1 John 2:28 And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.
29 If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him.

What MANNER OF LOVE, the Father has GIVEN to us, to be called the Sons of God, and the world did not KNOW HIM, nor us. Every man that has that HOPE IN HIM, PURIFIES himself, EVEN AS HE IS PURE. These who are not pure at all, are the TRANSGRESSORS OF THE LAW. (NO PUFIFICATION AT ALL/THOSE IN THE LAW, HEARTS ARE PURIFIEDD BY FAITH. Acts 15:9.)

WHOSOEVER is born of God doe not commit sin, he cannot sin BECAUSE HE IS BORN OF GOD. In this MANIFESTS the children of God and the children of the devil, WHOSOEVER DOES NOT DO RIGHTEOUSNESS IS NOT OF GOD, NEITHER HE THAT DOES NOT LOVE HIS BROTHER.)

WE KNOW we have PASSED from DEATH unto LIFE, because WE LOVE THE BROTHERS. He that does NOT LOVE his brother ABIDES in DEATH.

Eternal life does not ABIDE in he who hates his brother, ETERNAL LIFE ABIDES in Christ, hereby we PERCEIVE the LOVE OF GOD, because HE LAYED DOWN HIS LIFE FOR US, and we should lay our lives down for the brothers.

If our heart does not CONDEMN US, we have CONFIDENCE towards God, we keep His commandments. (do those things that are pleasing in His sight/please NOT OURSELVES/please OUR NEIGHBOUR FOR HIS GOOD to edification/for EVEN CHRIST pleased not Himself, the reproaches of them that reproached the Father fell on Him. Romans 15:1-3.)

THIS IS HIS COMMANDMENT, that WE SHOULD BELIEVE on THE NAME OF HIS SON JESUS CHRIST, and LOVE ONE ANOTHER, as HE GAVE US COMMANDMENT.

Keeping His commandments, (HIM DWELLING IN US AND WE IN HIM.) we know He ABIDES in us, by the Spirit which He has given us. ( His love dwelling in us/His love is PERFECTED in us/the greater commandment to love one another as He has loved us/no greater love than this: for a man to lay down His life for His friends/we are His friends if we do all whatsoever He has commanded us.)






Acts 15:9 And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.

Romans 15:1 We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.
2 Let every one of us please his neighbour for his good to edification.
3 For even Christ pleased not himself; but, as it is written, The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell on me.

1 John 3:1 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.
2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
3 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.
4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.

1 John 3:9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.

1 John 3:14 We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death.
15 Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.
16 Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

1 John 3:21 Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God.
22 And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.
23 And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.
24 And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.





Let the beloved LOVE ONE ANOTHER, for love is OF GOD, and EVERY ONE that LOVES, is BORN OF GOD and KNOWS GOD. He who does NOT LOVE DOES NOT KNOW GOD, for GOD IS LOVE.

In this was MANIFESTED the LOVE OF GOD TOWARDS US, because that God SENT HIs ONLY BEGOTTEN SON into the WORLD, that we might LIVE THROUGH HIM. This is LOVE, not that we loved God, but that HE LOVED US, and SENT HIs Son to be PROPITIATION FOR OUR SINS.

If God so LOVED US, the beloved ought to LOVE ONE ANOTHER. If we LOVE ONE ANOTHER, God DWELLS IN US, and HIS LOVE is PERFCTED IN US. By this we KNOW we DWELL IN HIM, and HE IN US, because He has GIVEN us of His Spirit.

We love God because He first loved us, if a man says he loves God, yet hates his brother, he is a LIAR, how can he not love his brother who he HAS SEEN, and love God who he HAS NOT SEEN. This COMMANDMENT have we from Him, that he who LOVES GOD, LOVE his brother ALSO.





1 John 4:7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.
10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.
12 No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us.
13 Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.

1 John 4:19 We love him, because he first loved us.
20 If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?
21 And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.





Whosoever BELIEVES that Jesus is the Christ, is BORN OF GOD, and every one that LOVES Him that begat, LOVES HIM ALSO, that is begotten of Him. This is His COMMANDMENTS, LOVING GOD AND LOVING THE CHILDREN OF GOD. This is the LOVE OF GOD, that we keep His commandments, and His commandments are not grievous. (Hear o Israel the Lord your God is ONE God, and you shall love the Lord your God with all of your heart and your neighbour as yourself.)

Whosoever is BORN OF GOD OVERCOMES THE WORLD, this is the VICTORY that OVERCOMES THE WORLD, even OUR FAITH. Who is he that OVERCOMES THE WORD, but HE THAT BELLIEVES THAT JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD.

The children are found WALKING in TRUTH, (walk as He walked.) as we have RECEIVED a COMMANDMENT from the Father, not a new commandment written, but that which we had from the BEGINNING, that we LOVE ONE ANOTHER. This IS LOVE, that we WALK AFTER His commandments. This is THE COMMANDMENT, that as we have HEARD FROM THE BEGINNING, we should WALK IN IT.

Those who transgress, do not ABIDE in the DOCTRINE OF CHRIST, they HAVE NOT GOD. He who ABIDES in the DOCTRINE OF CHRIST, has BOTH THE FATHER AND THE SON. If any comes to you, and DOES NOT BRING THIS DOCTRINE, receive him not, or bid him, he that bids him God speed, is PARTAKER OF HIS EVIL DEEDS.






1 John 5:1 Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him.
2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.
3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.

1 John 5:4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.
5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?

2 John 1:4 I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father.
5 And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.
6 And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it.

2 John 1:9 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.
10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:
11 For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.





The REMNANT of the woman's seed, which keep the commandments of God. (the doctrine/testimony of Jesus Christ.)

The patience of the saints, here are they that keep the commandments of God. (the faith of Jesus, or they do evil deeds.)

He who OVERCOMES shall INHERIT all things, and He will be our God, we will be HIs son, but the UNBELIEVING, ABOMINABLE, ALL LIARS shall have their part in the second death.

Nothing that defiles enters, nothing that WORKS ABOMINATION, and MAKES A LIE, but they which are WRITTEN in the Lamb's book of LIFE.

Blessed are they that do His commandments, that they may have RIGHT to the tree of LIFE, TO ENTER IN THROUGH THE GATES INTO THE CITY. (Jesus Christ is the WAY the TRUTH and the LIFE/no man comes unto the Father but BY HIM. John 14:6.) without are whoremongers and murderers/(who hate their brother and do not LOVE HIM,) and serve what they covet, and WHOSOEVER LOVES AND MAKES A LIE.






Revelation 12:17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

Revelation 14:12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

Revelation 21:7 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 idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

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.

Revelation 22:14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.

John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

How does one love God with all of their heart, mind and soul by breaking the least of these commandments? When they are the exact expression of how to love God and all about God. They cover so much more than people realize Psa 119:96 just as Jesus taught from this same unit Mat 5:19-30 and the last 6 are how we love our neighbor the second greatest commandment Rom13:9


Exo 20:1 And God spoke all these words, saying:
2 I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of [a]bondage.
3 “You shall have no other gods before Me.
4 “You shall not make for yourself a carved image—any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; 5 you shall not bow down to them nor [b]serve them. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting[c] the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, 6 but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.
7 “You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain.
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.

This is God's own personal Testimony written by God Exo31:18

How we test if we should follow ones teachings or not.

Isa8:20 To the law and to the testimony! If they do not speak according to this word, it is because there[a] is no light in them.

What MANNER OF LOVE, the Father has GIVEN to us, to be called the Sons of God, and the world did not KNOW HIM, nor us. Every man that has that HOPE IN HIM, PURIFIES himself, EVEN AS HE IS PURE. These who are not pure at all, are the TRANSGRESSORS OF THE LAW. (NO PUFIFICATION AT ALL/THOSE IN THE LAW, HEARTS ARE PURIFIEDD BY FAITH. Acts 15:9.)

WHOSOEVER is born of God doe not commit sin, he cannot sin BECAUSE HE IS BORN OF GOD. In this MANIFESTS the children of God and the children of the devil, WHOSOEVER DOES NOT DO RIGHTEOUSNESS IS NOT OF GOD, NEITHER HE THAT DOES NOT LOVE HIS BROTHER.)

WE KNOW we have PASSED from DEATH unto LIFE, because WE LOVE THE BROTHERS. He that does NOT LOVE his brother ABIDES in DEATH.

Eternal life does not ABIDE in he who hates his brother, ETERNAL LIFE ABIDES in Christ, hereby we PERCEIVE the LOVE OF GOD, because HE LAYED DOWN HIS LIFE FOR US, and we should lay our lives down for the brothers.

16 Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.

John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Ok..."Love fulfills the law", meaning that love always keeps the commandments-God's way, by following Him now in the love that He's shown us and the love that He gives us-the love that the Pharisees lacked even if they obeyed the law, obeyed the commandments, externally, legalistically, by the letter. Love doesn't abolish the law; it simply fulfills it. It renders the law toothless, in a way, by actually doing what the law can only command one to do without giving us the righteousness to truly do it.

So love and the law are not enemies: they're on the same page, the law is based on the love of God. We simply need more than the law, more than to be told; we need the God-who-is-love to reside within us and that's the purpose of faith, to open the door to Him and His life.

So to the extent that we love, we have no need to hear the law. To the extent that we sin, to the extent that we fail to love, IOW, we prove that we still benefit from hearing it, by being convicted by it.

Inheritance is not of the law, it is of promise, which is given to Abraham, nothing to do with the law whatsoever.

The law was ADDED, and was added because of TRANSGRESSIONS, TILL the SEED should come to whom the PROMISE WAS MADE.

The law according to the scripture concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ (the seed) might be given to them that BELIEVE.

This thread makes clear that there is one commandment. So AGAIN, the END OF THE COMMANDMENT, is CHARITY, out of a PURE HEART, and of a GOOD CONSCIENCE, and of FAITH UNFEIGNED, not hearing the teachers of the law with vain jangling, neither understanding what they say nor what they affirm.



Galatians 3:18 For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise.
19 Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.

Galatians 3:21 Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law.
22 But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.

1 Timothy 1:5 Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned:
6 From which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling;
7 Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm.
8 But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully;
9 Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,




We are told directly that these who desire to be teachers of the law, do not understand what they say or what they affirm. That's very important to be aware of, because they are part of the understanding of what is told here in Matthew 5, to those under the law.

Jesus testifies to these under the law, how all remains for them until all is fulfilled.

Jesus also testifies they keeping under their law and breaking the least, are called the least, ( NOT THAT THEY ARE IN THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN) and those who teach them and do them, the same would be called great. ( NOT THAT THEY ARE IN THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.)

Jesus clarifies this in all ways here, so HEAR, except their righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, ( ALL THOSE UNDER THE LAW.) they shall NOT ENTER THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IN ANY WAY.

Hear the NEXT CLARIFICATION. If these under the law are angry with their brother without a reason, is in danger of the judgement, or says Raca, then in danger of the council, and whosoever says you fool, shall be in DANGER OF HELL FIRE.

Leap forward to Matthew 18, how Jesus again VERILY, tells EXCEPT they be CONVERTED AS LITTLE CHILDREN, they shall NOT ENTER INTO THE KINGDM OF HEAVEN. (EXCEPT YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS SHALL EXCEED THE RIGHTEOUSNESSS OF THE SCRIBES AAND PHARISEES, YOU SHALL IN NO CASE ENTER INTO THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.)

To be humble as that little child, the same is now not said to be great in the Kingdom of Heaven, ( Matthew 5:19.) but IS GREATEST IN THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN.

To RECEIVE Christ is to receive as a little child, and whosoever OFFENDS one of the little ones who BELIEVES in Christ, it is better for them to be drowned. It is trouble for those who bring offences, (THOSE UNDER THE LAW SAYING FOOL TO THEIR BROTHER BRING OFFENCES AND SHALL BE IN DANGER OF HELL FIRE. Matthew 5:22.) wherefore Jesus tells those who bring OFFENCES, (those who are under the law and who do NOT BELIEVE IN CHRIST as the humble little ones who received Him. Matthew 5.) that if their hand or foot OFFENDS THEMSELVES, to cut them off, as it is better for them to enter into life maimed rather than having two hands or two feet to be CAST INTO EVERLASTING FIRE. (AS THOSE UNDER THE LAW SAYNG YOU FOOL, SHALL BE IN DANGER OF HELL FIRE. Matthew 5:22.)

The Son of man came to save that which was lost. (His lost sheep.) and they (WHO ARE UNDER THE LAW AND DO NOT BELIEVE AS THEY RECEIVED CHRIST.) are to TAKE HEED NOT TO DESPISE ONE OF THOSE LITTLE ONES. (WHICH BELIEVE IN HIM.)





Matthew 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.
19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
20 For I say unto you, That EXCEPT your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
21 Ye have heard that it was said of them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:
22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of HELL FIRE.

Matthew 18:3 And said, Verily I say unto you, EXCEPT ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
5 And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.
6 But whoso shall OFFEND one of these LITTLE ONES WHICH BELIEVE IN ME, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
7 Woe unto the world because of OFFENCES! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh!
8 Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off, and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into EVERLASTING FIRE.
9 And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire.
10 Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven.
11 For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost.

So law is entirely different from belief, they were never included together, it is the proof that those of the law cannot understand the things of the Spirit, which is by belief in the Lord Jesus Christ.


Now lets go to Romans 13.


Lets take it as it is spoken, to those still under the law hearing, and to Gentiles without law, (under the law to Christ.) and hear all the words, not just those of the law saying what those without law should do.

Love is understood by those without law, as they never were under any law, that it would fulfil any law, which they were never under, and to accept (BELIEVE.) simply that love works no ill to your neighbour.

Those of the law, or anyone who has any difficulty ( such as the scribes and pharisees all under the law) with BELIEVING in Jesus Christ, humble and converted as little children, are to awake out of sleep, to cast off the works of darkness. (that is why the commandments are shown in Romans 13, as they are for those who yet do works of darkness and have to be commanded not to.) and are exhorted to PUT ON THE ARMOUR OF LIGHT, to walk honestly, not in strife and envy, but to PUT ON THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, to then not make provision to the flesh to FULFIL its lust. (against the fulfilling of the law, that love works no ill to your neighbour.)




Romans 13:8 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.
9 For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
10 Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.
11 And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.
12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.
13 Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying.
14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.





PUT ON THE WHOLE ARMOUR OF GOD, to stand against the devil.

TAKE UNTO YOU THE WHOLE ARMOUR OF GOD, to be able to WITHSTAND IN THE EVIL DAY, and having done all TO STAND.

STAND THEREFORE, your loins dressed with TRUTH, having on the breastplate of RIGHTEOUSNESS, your feet shoes of the preparation of the GOSPEL OF PEACE, above all taking the shield of FAITH, to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. Take the helmet of SALVATION, and the sword of the SPIRIT, which is the Word of God.


TRUTH:
RIGHTEOUSNESS:
GOSPEL OF PEACE:
FAITH
SALVATION:
SPIRIT.




Ephesians 6:11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

Those who teach la wont agree to the faith being taught, is that not what we see in what is told in Matthew 5 of THE SCRIBES AND PHARISEES, testified as an example to this whole world.

But anyway, to do as the little ones who humble themselves, that same message is told in 1 Peter 5, to submit ourselves one to another, to be CLOTHED WITH HUMILITY, for God resists the proud, and gives grace to the lowly. (law cannot receive grace, it is against it and is exaltation/self righteousness as we have testified.)

HUMBLE OURSELVES THEREFORE UNDER THE MIGHTY HAND OF GOD, THAT HE MAY EXALT US IN DUE TIME.

To be sober and VIGILANT, because our ENEMY THE DEVIL, seeks to DEVOUR US, who we RESIST STEDFAST IN THE FAITH, and God who has CALLED US UNTO HIS ETERNAL GLORY BY CHRIST JESUS, after we have suffered a while, to MAKE US PERFECT, to STABLISH, STRENGTHEN, SETTLE US. To Him be glory and dominion for ever and eve. Amen.



1 Peter 5:3 Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being examples to the flock.
4 And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away.
5 Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.
6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:
7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
9 Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.
10 But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.
11 To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

The law it can be said, is useful for us for conviction of sin, and thats why 1 John 3 makes both of these cases clear, that the law cant be useful any longer, because of what Jesus Christ came and did, which the antichrist spirit denies, so we are to not deny this at all or be the same antichrist.


You see I don't need to quote one verse as the law teachers need to do, i can and do quote the whole lot together and talk about it all too.

We through this hope ( belief) purify ourselves even as Christ is pure, in our hearts purified by faith, knowing that those who COMMIT SIN, transgress the law they are following/under.

But WE KNOW ( BELIEVE) that Christ came manifested to this world ( which the antichrist spirit does not confess and DENIES) to TAKE AWAY OUR SINS, and IN HIM IS NO SIN.

We ABIDE IN HIM, WE SIN NOT, those who sin ( WHOSOEVER TRANSGRESSES THE LAW) HAVE NOT SEEN HIM NEITHER KNOWN HIM.

They deceive the little children, not knowing that they who do righteousness are righteous, EVEN AS HE IS RIGHTEOUS.

HOSE WHO COMMIT SIN ARE OF THE DEVIL, this is the PURPOSE THE SON OF GOD WAS MANIFSTED, to DESTROY THOSE WORKS OF THE DEVIL. ( WORKS of the LAW/WHOSOEVER TRANSGRESSES THE LAW COMMITING SIN.)

WHOSOEVER IS BORN OF GOD DOES NOT COMMIT SIN, HIS SEED REMAINING IN HIM AND HE CANNOT SIN, because he is BORN OF GOD.

THIS MANIFESTS THE CHIULDREN OF GOD AND THE CHILDREN OF THE DEVIL, ( those of the devil being those who commit sin/transgressing the law.)

Those who DO NOT DO RIGHTEOUSNESS ARE NOT OF GOD, THOSE WHO DO NOT LOVE THEIR BROTHER ARE NOT OF GOD, THIS IS HEARD FROM THE BEGINNING, THAT WE SHOLD LOVE ONE ANOTHER. ( only by belief in the Lord Jesus Christ manifested to TAKE AWAY OUR SINS, AND IN HIM IS NO SIN/TO DESTROY THE WORKS OF THE DEVIL.)



1 John 3:3 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.
4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
5 And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.
6 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.
7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.
11 For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.
