what Law did Jesus replace?

[Zeena]

The dietary laws are still valid

Acts 10:
11: And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending unto him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth:
12: Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.
13: And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat.
14: But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean.
15: And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.

After Jesus death and resurrection Peter never ate anthing unclean or common.

Galatians 2:14
But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Peter before them all, If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?

 

[Gregory Thompson]

Ozell, You are seeing this from a false premise . so your questions will continue to be asked from a false premise .

i see no need to debate the issue .

i understand what i understand from the scripture .

and you seem to ignore scriptural imput from others .

thank you for the conversation .

bless .

Isaiah 26:7-11 The path of the righteous is level; O upright One, you make the way of the righteous smooth. Yes, LORD, walking in the way of your laws, we wait for you; your name and renown are the desire of our hearts. My soul yearns for you in the night; in the morning my spirit longs for you. When your judgments come upon the earth, the people of the world learn righteousness. Though grace is shown to the wicked, they do not learn righteousness; even in a land of uprightness they go on doing evil and regard not the majesty of the LORD. O LORD, your hand is lifted high, but they do not see it. Let them see your zeal for your people and be put to shame; let the fire reserved for your enemies consume them.

 

[Light hearted]

tell me what happen to all the people that did not make it on the ark?

Grace was around?

Gen 6:12 And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.
13 And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.

why did the Lord had to find grace in Noah?

Gen 6:8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.



the bible says

Rv 13:8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

so Jesus blood was here before man was created.



let me see the righteous would come under the blood of Jesus by doing right.

even though the wicked have the same access to the same blood like in Noah day, they chose not to do right so the Lord did not find grace in them.

Noah was a just and perfect man and he walked with God.

Gen 6:9 These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.

Noah walked in the light(Jesus word) and in the spirit(Jesus word)

Ozell, the question you asked about "the people who didn't make it on the ark", came from a quote of which I posted earlier. Yet, before I posted it, I quoted it from post #640 of your own writing.

So I ask you, what happened to the people who didn't make it on the ark since Grace was around in Noah's time.

Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations. For all I read in the Bible, I don't see where drunkeness is a perfect quality. Basically I disagree with your inturpertation of Gen. 6:9.

Noah being perfect in his generations does not refer to him being perfect in God's laws, since the commandments and laws were not written yet, how could his perfection be judged?

So far Noah's seed has come from sons of God, and for anybody else of whom has been born of this uninfected seed, Noah is the only one still walking with God.

I understand it this way, God found favor, "Grace" in Noah and Noah only, thous his life and family was spared.

 

[Light hearted]

Okay . keep waiting . but i am experiencing this resurrection power life right now .

Ozell, here is a quote from Michael Collum. It is a reply to you saying you will wait for your day of death til you are Born again.

For many of us, Michael is right on. The Bible is written for the flesh eyes to read, yes. But once Born again, the Bible now has a spiritual meaning. I can not but into words the change of being Born again, we just know it wasn't us, it was Him.

I refer to Numbers 22:31 31Then the LORD opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way, and his sword drawn in his hand: and he bowed down his head, and fell flat on his face.

The Angel was right in front of him yet he didn't see it. There is way more out there than we are allowed to see. Just because God hasn't given you the sense of Spiritual vision doesn't mean it isn't there. If you could see it, it wouldn't be "Faith", believing what isn't seen.

Another view. You have a sense of smell, yet if you didn't have it, it would be impossible for me to explain "smell" to you for no words can explain it.

I'm sure you have read the chapter, it is a sight that is not by us but by Him, and don't ask for me to explain Spiritual vision either.

Let's move to Luke 24
16But their eyes were holden that they should not know him.
31And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight.

These were 2 believers, and their eyes were kept from recognizing Jesus. It is God that closed their eyes for the purpose that they will come to know Jesus through the scriptures, as we are now. So yes, your commitment to reading the Bible is correct, it is the Spirit of which you read it that will quicken the Spirit within you.

It is not work that has God open our eyes, it is a humbling of the heart, and who knows what else but God, of why we have been chosen.

If we seeked God the way you do with works, it would be a hardening of the heart and a building of one's self. If we are full of ourselves, there is no room for the Spirit of Jesus within us.

 

[Light hearted]

Is God's word Holy?
Is God's word inside your mind?
Is God's word spirit?
Do God's word require man doing work?

Phil 2:12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.

who words is this verse above? God's, Paul or ozell?
what do it say about works and salvation?

could it be Jesus has not given you the spirit of understanding?

maybe its not me and it could be you?

Ozell, I'm sure you've read about fruit, and I'm sure you remember I mentioned I don't sense your words showing fruit.

Fruit is the outside effort, "work", that a believer does that shows to the world of the Spirit within them. It is a nudging from the Spirit, from the "inside" that we act upon.

Most of your comments are a nudging from the outside, man doing work to find God.

Believers works is God doing work through man.

Let's look at Phil 2:12...work "out" your salvation with fear and trembling.

Your salvation is in direct relationship with having the Holy Spirit with"in" you. Eph. 1:13 is your guarantee.

Once recieving the Holy Spirit it is now time to to do outward works to demomstrate the Spirit with"in" you. Thous "work "out" your salvation". The words "in" and "out" can be taken literally.

Works is now in the name of Jesus.

Not in the name of the man himself, or woman herself.


As for the first four questions you asked above. Yes, to all four.

 

[ozell]

Isaiah 26:7-11 The path of the righteous is level; O upright One, you make the way of the righteous smooth. Yes, LORD, walking in the way of your laws, we wait for you; your name and renown are the desire of our hearts. My soul yearns for you in the night; in the morning my spirit longs for you. When your judgments come upon the earth, the people of the world learn righteousness. Though grace is shown to the wicked, they do not learn righteousness; even in a land of uprightness they go on doing evil and regard not the majesty of the LORD. O LORD, your hand is lifted high, but they do not see it. Let them see your zeal for your people and be put to shame; let the fire reserved for your enemies consume them.

A man can be righteous in God's eyes.

Gen 7:1 And the LORD said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.

the righteous must be among man for the Lord to bless them

Ps 5:12 For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.

the right cry unto the Lord because of the wicked.

Ps 34:15 The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry.
Ps 34:17 The righteous cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles.

lets understand

Hab 1:4 Therefore the law is slacked, and judgment doth never go forth: for the wicked doth compass about the righteous; therefore wrong judgment proceedeth.

so the righteous will do the following

Jn 7:24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.

 

[ozell]

Light hearted;54098194]Ozell, I'm sure you've read about fruit, and I'm sure you remember I mentioned I don't sense your words showing fruit.

do to the level of understanding perhaps?

Fruit is the outside effort, "work", that a believer does that shows to the world of the Spirit within them. It is a nudging from the Spirit, from the "inside" that we act upon.

servants of God lead by example it is our actions inward and outward that brings in the fruits.

Jn 13:13 Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am.
14: If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet.
15: For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you.

works is required inwardly and outwardly

1Tm 4:12 Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.

Jms 5:10 Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience.
1Pt 2:21 For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:

in order to accomplish the walk Jesus and most of the prophets did a person will have to be filled with the spirit of God.

Jesus was spit upon, hair pulled, called names, beat, and yet he maintained his inward spirit and outward actions.

for us to follow in his steps require a whole lot of spirit and a whole lot of work.

Jn 5:17 But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.

follow in Jesus steps> work!

Jn 4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

Most of your comments are a nudging from the outside, man doing work to find God.

is work required to do these things that the Lord ask

Jn 5:39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.


Eph 3:4 Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)

action on you part is required whether you believe or not.

Rom 10v 13: For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
14: How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
15: And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
16: But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?
17: So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

Believers works is God doing work through man.

again

17: So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

Heb 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Jn 4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

have the believer or non believer seen God?

so it is up to us to show the non believer God even though we have not seen him.

this will require time and effort. WORK!

The unbeliever has to help himself as does the believer.

Acts 2:40 And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.

How? Go back to Romans 10

Let's look at Phil 2:12...work "out" your salvation with fear and trembling.

Your salvation is in direct relationship with having the Holy Spirit with"in" you. Eph. 1:13 is your guarantee.

13: In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,

what is the process in this verse LH?

the process is

we must trust
hearing the word of truth
hearing the gospel of salvation
we believe
then we must be sealed with the holy spirit of promise.

again lets read Romans10 to understand this process in Ephesans


Rom 10v 13: For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
14: How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
15: And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
16: But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?
17: So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

now apply it to the verse you quoted.

Once recieving the Holy Spirit it is now time to to do outward works to demomstrate the Spirit with"in" you. Thous "work "out" your salvation". The words "in" and "out" can be taken literally.

before we receive the Holy Spirit other actions are required.

go back and read your verse again.

Works is now in the name of Jesus.

of course it is but we still have to do it.

who said thou shalt not steal? Jesus

who did he say it to? man

so in the name of Jesus I don't steal.

Not in the name of the man himself, or woman herself.

of course
it is not written

Ps 118:8 It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.
Ps 146:3 Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.

LH

answer me this if you believe you are born again

1Pt 1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.


are you incorruptible?

you are born from the process of man and woman like me, we are from the corruptible seed, we were born into the family of man corruptible.

it is written

Jn 9:34 They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.

we are corruptible.

when did you become incorruptible?

here is the response to this post

understand how the eyes are opened from the wicked to becoming right

Ezek 33:14 Again, when I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; if he turn from his sin, and do that which is lawful and right;
15 If the wicked restore the pledge, give again that he had robbed, walk in the statutes of life, without committing iniquity; he shall surely live, he shall not die.

Ezek 33:19 But if the wicked turn from his wickedness, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall live thereby.

what is lawful and right?

what is the stautes of life?

lets read

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

Jn 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.

Jesus again said

Jn 5:39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.

this is how the eyes are opened!

reading, hearing and understanding the truth.

Peter said to the Lord

Jn 6:68 Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.

 

[ozell]

=Light hearted;54097376]Ozell, the question you asked about "the people who didn't make it on the ark", came from a quote of which I posted earlier. Yet, before I posted it, I quoted it from post #640 of your own writing.

So I ask you, what happened to the people who didn't make it on the ark since Grace was around in Noah's time.

they died!

Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations. For all I read in the Bible, I don't see where drunkeness is a perfect quality. Basically I disagree with your inturpertation of Gen. 6:9.

you may diagree LH but it says

Gen 6:9 These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.

if Jesus has it written that noah was perfect in his generation he was perfect!

drinking wine is not a sin or wrong doing.

Noah being perfect in his generations does not refer to him being perfect in God's laws, since the commandments and laws were not written yet, how could his perfection be judged?

God has called men perfect and upright. He obviously has a standard that he works with. That standard is toward man and man obviously can acheive a measure of perfection with the Lord. Not just Noah and abraham
all of us.

lets read about men who are born of woman like us.

Gen 6:9 These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.

Gen 17:1 And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect.

Now Paul said we are abraham seed if we do the things that Abraham did

Gal 3:29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

The Lord told Abraham to walk perfect before him,

what should you do if you are Jesus and if you be of Jesus?

If you are Abraham seed. you should walk perfect before the Lord.

its so mant ways I can explaine this, lets try this way first.

in Noah day sin was around as was the dietary laws.

before Noah sin was mentioned to cain,

Gen 4:7 If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.

Paul said this about sin and lust which is desire

Rom 7:7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.

cain knew about sin he most assuredly knew about the law.

consider.

So far Noah's seed has come from sons of God, and for anybody else of whom has been born of this uninfected seed, Noah is the only one still walking with God.

what about the ones here?

Rv 20v4: And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
5: But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
6: Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

or these here?

Heb 11v
13: 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.
39: And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise:
40: God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.

I understand it this way, God found favor, "Grace" in Noah and Noah only, thous his life and family was spared.

now ask yourself what did Noah do for the Lord to find grace in him?

we read that he was perfect in his generation.

what is perfection according to God?

 

[Gregory Thompson]

I think what you're missing from the scripture

is that the redemption is spoken of in the present tense because in faith/certainty of trust we believe He is faithful to accomplish that which is promised at a future time .

but "the redemption" is actually when Jesus returns .

Revelation refers to this as the first resurrection .

but

Romans 8:17
And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.

if that helps .

Mike what are some of the ways in which the Lord cannot redeem us?

 

[ozell]

The Lord DID NOT replace the dietary laws.

lets read

1Tim 4v1: Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
2: Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
3: Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.
4: For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:
5: For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.

what is the truth?
where did Jesus sanctify the creatures that we can eat at?
all creatures where created good, we can read that in Genesis 1.

 

[Gregory Thompson]

Mike what are some of the ways in which the Lord cannot redeem us?

The ways in which we are not redeemed immediately:

1) We are not in our new bodies

2) Unless you are Eastern Orthodox you are not resurrected until Jesus comes back .

3) We are not yet incorruptible as it is written this corruptible will put on incorruptibility .

But we are redeemed in the way that :

1) The Holy Spirit is given as a security deposit against that day

2) We have a renewed person living in our decaying walls of flesh . so that though we decay on the outside . the holy spirit renews us from within every day .

3) He lives with us in our hearts .

that's what comes to me about it .

bless .

Ozell, often times you post verses that positively oppose what you are trying to say.

This post above positively opposes the dietary laws written by Moses.

Perhaps it is the meaning of "dietary law" that we all don't understand.

I would ask that you post a verse or chapter that explains what the dietary laws are, but that would not explain on what your interpertation is.

So, if you would, put into your own words what the dietary laws are in your view.

 

[nChrist]

Colossians 2:13-17 KJV And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses; 14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; 15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it. 16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: 17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.

when a person says the dietary laws are still valid today and must be kept, where do you see where that person has judged?

16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days

what we have here is a lack of understanding.

where is judgement written in this verse?

1Tim 4v1: Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
2: Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
3: Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.
4: For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:
5: For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.

The Lord DID NOT replace the dietary laws.

lets read

1Tim 4v1: Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
2: Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
3: Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.
4: For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:
5: For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.

what is the truth?
where did Jesus sanctify the creatures that we can eat at?
all creatures where created good, we can read that in Genesis 1.

let me answer the question using the bible.

what is truth?

Jn 17:17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.

Good word is truth and his truth sanctify us, it separates us from lies!

where did Jesus sanctify the creatures that we can eat at?

In Levitcus 11 the first verse says THE LORD SPOKE UNTO MOSES
so who words are these? THE LORDS

1: And the LORD spake unto Moses and to Aaron, saying unto them,
2: Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, These are the beasts which ye shall eat among all the beasts that are on the earth.

So in this chapter we have the sanctification/separation on what the Lord want us to eat.

lets grow in the grace and knowledge of God. we read God's word is truth
let read where God can't lie.

Ti 1:2 In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;

now do you believe in a God who words are truth? who cannt lie!
A God who never changes,

Mal 3:6 For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.

the dietary laws are still valid!

all creatures where created good,

Gen 1:21 And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

Gen 1:25 And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

Gen 1:31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

yet the Lord said

Eccl 3:1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
