THE WHOLE BIBLE IS TRUE, not just the parts you like; that includes the following>>>>
Gal 3: 10And all who depend on the Law [who are seeking to be justified by obedience to the Law of rituals] are under a curse and doomed to disappointment and destruction, for it is written in the Scriptures, Cursed (accursed, devoted to destruction, doomed to eternal punishment) be everyone who does not continue to abide (live and remain) by all the precepts and commands written in the Book of the Law and to practice them
11Now it is evident that no person is justified (declared righteous and brought into right standing with God) through the Law, for the Scripture says, The man in right standing with God [the just, the righteous] shall live by and out of faith and he who through and by faith is declared righteous and in right standing with God shall live.
12But the Law does not rest on faith [does not require faith, has nothing to do with faith], for it itself says, He who does them [the things prescribed by the Law] shall live by them [not by faith].
13Christ purchased our freedom [redeeming us] from the curse (doom) of the Law [and its condemnation] by [Himself] becoming a curse for us, for it is written [in the Scriptures], Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree (is crucified);
AND
Gal 3: 23Now before the faith came, we were perpetually guarded under the Law, kept in custody in preparation for the faith that was destined to be revealed (unveiled, disclosed),
24So that the Law served [to us Jews] as our trainer [our guardian, our guide to Christ, to lead us] until Christ [came], that we might be justified (declared righteous, put in right standing with God) by and through faith.
25But now that the faith has come, we are no longer under a trainer (the guardian of our childhood).
26For in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God through faith.
Galatians 5: 1IN [this] freedom Christ has made us free [and completely liberated us]; stand fast then, and do not be hampered and held ensnared and submit again to a yoke of slavery [which you have once put off]. 2Notice, it is I, Paul, who tells you that if you receive circumcision, Christ will be of no profit (advantage, avail) to you [for if you distrust Him, you can gain nothing from Him]. 3I once more protest and testify to every man who receives circumcision that he is under obligation and bound to practice the whole of the Law and its ordinances. 4If you seek to be justified and declared righteous and to be given a right standing with God through the Law, you are brought to nothing and so separated (severed) from Christ. You have fallen away from grace (from God's gracious favor and unmerited blessing). 5For we, [not relying on the Law but] through the [Holy] Spirit's [help], by faith anticipate and wait for the blessing and good for which our righteousness and right standing with God [our conformity to His will in purpose, thought, and action, causes us] to hope. 6For [if we are] in Christ Jesus, neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but only faith activated and energized and expressed and working through love.
That SHOULD be sufficient to teach us ALL that keeping the Law separates us from Christ Jesus. Of course, you will no doubt cite some other obscure verse that has no bearing on this or just totally ignore what the scriptures actually say. How sad for you!

ReplyDelete== > Gal 3 and 5 will help you to recognize "religious demons". I am praying for all of you who are reading it here to see it .
ReplyDeleteRomans 14:20
ReplyDeleteDo not destroy the work of God for the sake of food. All things indeed are pure, but it is evil for the man who eats with offense.
1 Corinthians 8:6-11
.. yet for us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we for Him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and through whom we live.
7 However, there is not in everyone that knowledge; for some, with consciousness of the idol, until now eat it as a thing offered to an idol; and their conscience, being weak, is defiled. 8 But food does not commend us to God; for neither if we eat are we the better, nor if we do not eat are we the worse.
9 But beware lest somehow this liberty of yours become a stumbling block to those who are weak. 10 For if anyone sees you who have knowledge eating in an idol’s temple, will not the conscience of him who is weak be emboldened to eat those things offered to idols? 11 And because of your knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died?
==> God wants us to be Holy.
ReplyDelete1 Peter 1:12-16
12 To them it was revealed that, not to themselves, but to us they were ministering the things which now have been reported to you through those who have preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven things which ANGELS DESIRE TO LOOK INTO.
13 Therefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; 14 as obedient children, not conforming yourselves to the former lusts, as in your ignorance; 15 but as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, 16 because it is written, “Be holy, for I am holy.”
==> Sabbath is just a sign between God and us.
Ezekiel 20:20
.. hallow My Sabbaths, and they will be a SIGN between Me and you, that you may know that I am the LORD your God.’
==> Some things are Holy, like Gods son Jesus, communion, The Bible "Written word" and Sabbath which prophetically is "Our salvation".
Ezekiel 22:8
You have despised My HOLY THINGS and profaned My Sabbaths.
==> I think this is about disobedience i.e. when we pervert meaning in "Word of God" with purpose for own pleasure.
Isaiah 58:13-14
13 “ If you turn away your foot from the Sabbath, From doing your pleasure on My holy day, And call the Sabbath a delight, The holy day of the LORD honorable,
And shall honor Him, not doing your own ways, Nor finding your own pleasure,
Nor speaking your own words, 14 Then you shall delight yourself in the LORD, And I will cause you to ride on the high hills of the earth, And feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father. The mouth of the LORD has spoken.”
I don´t believe that OT is shadow of the NT, I believe that this life is a shadow of true spiritual life that we will see clear when we enter it. I want to do keep Sabbath by my free will, I believe it is good to everybody. God´s laws are for me nothing I am forced to do it is something we can not avoid whatever we do. So I don´t see Sabbath as a law or some religion that force me to follow but as a gift and instruction from my father about what is good for me.
ReplyDeleteI do my best to be Holy by the power of the Holy Spirit, but the "old man" climbs down from the cross sometimes:
ReplyDeleteMatthew 26:41
Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
