Hi Colossians, Datsar,Colossians said:Datsar,
PLease do not post replies from one thread onto another. That is ridiculous. We can read your reply on the thread it relates to.
It is impossible to love Jesus and not be obedient to His Commandments.
I know that I've said this before but all the servants of God in the Bible have always been saying the same thing. Paul is often quoted as saying that the 10 Commandments are nailed to the cross. This is a lie that started in the Catholic church and spread to Protestant churches alike. To keep Sunday is to pay homage to the Catholic church, the Pope. Every Catholic priest will tell you the same thing without flinching. Did Paul every say that the 10 Commandments are void? No. On the contrary He lifted up the 10 Commandments.
Some Christians would have us to believe that the servants of God in the Old Testament were saved by works whereas the servants of the New Covenant are just now saved by grace through fatith. Nothing could be furthest from the truth. Like I've said before, this is not something that just started in the New Testament (testament means covenant by the way). The BIBLE shows that we were always saved by grace through faith (in the both the Old and New Testaments). The people in the Old Testament looked forward to the sacrifice of Jesus while the people in the New Testament looked back to the sacrifice of Jesus.
Paul said the following:
Hebrews 11:4-31 By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh. By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God. But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith. By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went. By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise: For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God. Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised. Therefore sprang there even of one, and him as good as dead, so many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable. These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. For they that say such things declare plainly that they seek a country. And truly, if they had been mindful of that country from whence they came out, they might have had opportunity to have returned. But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city. By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son, Of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called: Accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead; from whence also he received him in a figure. By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come. By faith Jacob, when he was a dying, blessed both the sons of Joseph; and worshipped, leaning upon the top of his staff. By faith Joseph, when he died, made mention of the departing of the children of Israel; and gave commandment concerning his bones. By faith Moses, when he was born, was hid three months of his parents, because they saw he was a proper child; and they were not afraid of the king's commandment. By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter; Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season; Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward. By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible. Through faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of blood, lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them. By faith they passed through the Red sea as by dry land: which the Egyptians assaying to do were drowned. By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they were compassed about seven days. By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them that believed not, when she had received the spies with peace.
Now my questions to you is this: Did these men keep the 10 Commandments of Jesus, yes or no? Is commandment keeping contrary to faith in Jesus?
Romans 3:31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.
