Yes, I suppose that not having the Spirit of Christ would make it difficult for you to understand!lol
I'm sorry, but this is just a mess. You call obeying YHVH:
Slavery & Wickedness
Can you name me any laws that are so evil (Remember they came from His mouth for our good)?
Lol not at all. Neither am I a christian according to what most of them espouse (antinomianism).
Rev 14:12 Here is the endurance of the set-apart ones, here are those guarding the commands of Elohim and the belief of Yeshua.
I didn't say the law was evil. That's you putting words in my mouth.
I said YOU are wicked. You demonstrate this in your refusal to accept Christ's death as sufficient to your salvation. YOU keep yourself in bondage (slavery) to sin. That is not walking in newness of life.
The law is good and perfect. Jesus fulfilled the law. The only One Who could. Now, on account of Him, I can come boldly to the throne of grace in time of need. I don't keep whining at God to "forgive me, Lord!" because He already has. I walk in the light as He is in the light and in so doing the blood of Christ cleanses me from all unrighteousness. That's what the word tells me.
More than that, I am baptised in His Spirit, the pledge of my inheritance, according to His word. Does that also cause you a problem?
When have I ever refused Jesus's sacrifice? Never... (who puts words in who's mouth?)
Bondage is disobedience. By obeying you are not subjecting yourself to sin. Why is that hard to grasp?
You say you walk in the light. Do you realize that is a metaphor for walking in torah?
Psa_119:105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
Psa_119:142 Your righteousness is righteousness forever, And Your Torah is truth.
No, that solves every possible problem. Now, for one, I know whom and what we have to deal with here.
Do you realize that Psalm 119 is a shadow for walking in Fellowship and Union with Jesus The Lord?
I didn't say the law was evil. That's you putting words in my mouth.
I said YOU are wicked. You demonstrate this in your refusal to accept Christ's death as sufficient to your salvation and in your attempt to re-establish that which was once torn down, i.e. the law.
The law is good and perfect. Jesus fulfilled the law. The only One Who could. Now, on account of Him, I can come boldly to the throne of grace in time of need. I don't keep whining at God to "forgive me, Lord!" because He already has. I walk in the light as He is in the light and in so doing the blood of Christ cleanses me from all unrighteousness. That's what the word tells me.
More than that, I am baptised in His Spirit, the pledge of my inheritance, according to His word. I know God because He communes with my spirit. I know I am free in Him. "If you seek the truth, you will find the truth, and the truth will set you FREE." Emphasis mine.
That's everything the Word does not tell!
Of coarse it is. Is it all about how the torah (aka word) is good, set apart, and just. Jesus is the word made flesh and walked according to it. Thus if we love him, we will keep His commandments (torah).
Oh dear, seems I must uploaded that last post before I'd finished editing it... oh well...
But the Word died and so did the Old Covenant (You can't have a contract with a dead person). He Rose Again as a New Man with a New Covenant. Now what?
What does the new covenant say Jon? Can you state the terms?
<<Your Torah is truth>> does that stand for "your Law is Truth"? Then "I-AM THE TRUTH" is Jesus is Our Law is God's Word! and I, can understand, that is, find rest for my soul.

You want a pearl of wisom? Here is a whopper:
Joh_14:6 Yeshua said to him, “I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
What was Yeshua referencing here? Did it contradict His Father's words?
The Way:
Psa_119:30 I have chosen the way of truth; Your right-rulings I have held level.
Psa_119:32 I run the way of Your commands, For You enlarge my heart.
Psa_119:33 Teach me, O YHVH, the way of Your laws, And I observe it to the end.
The Truth:Psa_119:32 I run the way of Your commands, For You enlarge my heart.
Psa_119:33 Teach me, O YHVH, the way of Your laws, And I observe it to the end.
Psa_119:142 Your righteousness is righteousness forever, And Your Torah is truth.
The Life:
Deu_32:47 “For it is not a worthless Word for you, because it is your life, and by this Word you prolong your days on the soil which you pass over the Yardĕn to possess.”
Pro_4:13 Hold fast to discipline, do not let go; Watch over her, for she is your life.
Pro_4:13 Hold fast to discipline, do not let go; Watch over her, for she is your life.
Yeshua is saying: I AM THE WORD (the torah). You enter by keeping torah and His sacrifice of redemption. This is true grace.
Jesus gave tous the ONLY thing required by sinners to do to get saved, to believe in God and on the One that he sent to be the Messiah, why do you try to add on what Jesus did not?
Oh, so its ok to now commit murder, steal, be a homo, lie, worship idols, blaspheme His name, etc?
You must think deeper into His words and what is being said.
Technically, yes, I can do what I want.
I think you guys (Jason n Gerhard) need to think deeper into what He has accomplished. It's REALLY good news!
