The book writing is back!Its not a false accusation, you seek to turn people from Christ and to works-based salvation.
Despite the many passages that you have been given to show that men are not under Law you continue in teaching Law.
You do, for the Father has commanded all men to be in obedience to the Gospel of Christ, and come into relationship with Him through Christ...not the Law.
You simply don't.
You are an advocate for Moses, not Christ.
No, what has been stated over and over is that men must keep the Torah.
That is a false gospel.
Actually, John came preaching repentance, and was to signal the coming of Messiah.
And while repentance is part of our salvation, a result of the convicting ministry of the Comforter, it is not something men generate of their own effort.
Again, a false gospel.
Christ did not just "wipe the slate clean," so you could start out all over and hope this time you do not sin, He forgave our sins...forever.
That means the sins we committed as natural men, as well as the sins He knew you and I would commit after we were Reconciled to Him.
And what? He "wipes the slate clean again?"
Again, your ignorance of what the Word of God teaches hinders you.
Hebrews 10 is by far one of the primary passages that teaches that men are in relationship with God through the New Covenant, not the Covenant of Law.
If you read it you might see that, instead of, as most religious people do, yanking a verse or two from it's context and creating false doctrine.
Consider:
Hebrews 10:26-29
King James Version (KJV)
26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,
27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.
In your mind you see this as referring to Christians committing sins after they are saved, whereas the truth of this passage is directed at people just like you.
The wilful sin is defined in v.29, and is contrasted with the Covenant of Law (v.28), and is meant to instruct Hebrews (Jews) who had been under Law and heard of Christ:
28 He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:
29 Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?
Do you see the contrast between those who despised Moses' Law and those who reject Christ, His Sacrifice, His Covennat, and the Spirit of Grace?
He is not saying those who despise Moses' Law...and...
He is saying "Those who despised Moses' Law (the Covenant of Law) will be punished more severely than those who reject Christ.
The danger, as is a constant theme in the Book, is for Jews to associate with Christ...but turn away. They return to that which suits their natural minds better...religion.
That is you.
You are treading under foot the Son of God, counting the Blood of the Covenant unholy, and doing contrary to what the Spirit of Grace is trying to tell you.
And that is why you have succumbed to a cult, Jason, because you are lazy. You want to tell people your truth, have them readily accept it, but you are neither capable of addressing the objections to your false gospel nor providing an adequate presentation that is, for Bible Students, going to cancel out the many passages that warn us that if we seek to return to the Covenant that has been made obsolete...we are rejecting the Gift of God.
The Writer of Hebrews speaks about you here...
Hebrews 5:8-14
King James Version (KJV)
8 Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered;
9 And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;
10 Called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec.
He is preaching Christ.
Here is what he has to say to his Hebrew brethren:
11 Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing.
They are lazy.
This is you.
12 For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.
They do not understand the First Principles of the Word of God.
This is you.
13 For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.
They are infantile in their understanding.
This is you.
But there is hope for you, Jason...
14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
"Strong Meat" belongs to those who are perfect (full age, mature (which is relevant, not to Christians, but to Hebrews/Jews in their understanding of the First Principles of the Word of God)).
This is for those who have not been lazy and infantile in their understanding, but have, by reason of use (done their homework), have their senses exercised (mental gymnastics, lol) that they are able to discern what is good, and...
...what is evil.
And teaching men to return to Law is evil, and a false gospel.
That is why it is spoken of by Paul, John, and the Writer of Hebrews in such detail.
So quit being lazy, Jason. Do your homework. Stop reading the material of your cult and read the Word of God.
God bless.
The "gospel of christ" and the "written torah" do not contrast. It is all one story that fits together perfectly. Obedience is always required and Yeshua restores us back to what was lost - a return to the Father and His ways.
It is the church that likes to divorce old and new (when "old testament" is a created term). They fail to understand the whole story as you demonstrate in your post.
