So before you can receive the Holy Spirit you must learn not to invite friends, family or neighbours home for a meal but rather the poor, lame, blind and beggars?
You must learn never so much as to hint to anyone if you fast?
If someone wanted to borrow from you, you must learn to give to them without expecting anything back?
You must really learn from your heart to love people who may be unkind to you and persecute you?
You must learn to give someone who stole from you more than what they stole with nothing but love in your heart for them?
You must learn to leap for joy if you are persecuted?
I could go on and on, but in your view all of the above must be learnt and done without the Holy Spirit's help for you cannot receive the Spirit until you have obeyed the above commands? And according to what you quoted, I am to take it you do not love Jesus if you do not obey his above commands alongside all the others mentioned in the Gospels?
The new covenant did not begin until Jesus had risen from the dead
Jesus did not come to destroy the law, he came to end righteousness of obeying the law, quite a difference.
Quite a stretch.
Colossians 2:14 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;
Romans 3:28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law
Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: [it is] the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. 2:20 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets;
There's no law in that foundation... who are the "apostles" of Paul?
'Cuz they're definitely not the ones who taught all of this:
Matthew 5:19 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. ...
Matthew 7:24-25 Therefore whosoever heareth these words of Mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. 26 And every one that heareth these words of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: 27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
John 14:21 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 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.
Matthew 26:27 And He took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave [it] to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; 28 For this is My blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.
Matthew 28:18-20 16 Then the Eleven Disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them. 17 And when they saw Him, they worshipped Him: but some doubted. And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All authority is given unto Me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, [even] unto the end of the world. Amen.
Revelation 3:8 I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept My word, and hast not denied My name. (name = character, authority)
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.
You didnt confirm if you yourself obey the commandments I quoted to you, possibly it slipped your memory. Only according to your previous post, if you do not you do not have the Holy Spirit, neither can you love Jesus according to your quote I imagine. I will put them up again for you:
So before you can receive the Holy Spirit you must learn not to invite friends, family or neighbours home for a meal but rather the poor, lame, blind and beggars?
You must learn never so much as to hint to anyone if you fast?
If someone wanted to borrow from you, you must learn to give to them without expecting anything back?
You must really learn from your heart to love people who may be unkind to you and persecute you?
You must learn to give someone who stole from you more than what they stole with nothing but love in your heart for them?
You must learn to leap for joy if you are persecuted?
I could go on and on, but in your view all of the above must be learnt and done without the Holy Spirit's help for you cannot receive the Spirit until you have obeyed the above commands? And according to what you quoted, I am to take it you do not love Jesus if you do not obey his above commands alongside all the others mentioned in the Gospels?
You don't actually quote the Gospel of the Kingdom... instead, you mangle them by saying what you imagine to be true.
And I could go on and on showing you all the verses which prove that the gospel to the gentiles isn't even close to what Jesus teaches the lost sheep of the House of Israel... but you've yet to acknowledge even three:
Colossians 2:14 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;
Romans 3:28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law
Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: [it is] the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
