Where in scriptures does it say we are to follow our hearts, conscience, or the holy spirit to know what is sin?
That each person will have different rules, beliefs, and acts of faith. That this behavior will gain eternal life?
I encouage you to read the full chapters. I know I am giving snip its in this aritcle, but if you go into the chapter AFTER prayer asking for the truth, and with an open mind and heart the Lord will show you what he has shown me.
Most would say these are the verses that say the Lord will write the laws in our hearts, that we are to follow our conscience NOT the old words of God.
For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:
This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;
They fail to realize that this was a quote from Deuteronomy 6:6 made by Moses committing the Israelites to keep His commandments, the Law Covenant, and that the old testament laws would be written in the heart. And Jeremiah 31:31-34 speaks of the NEW Covenant to come. This Covenant gives the promise of issuing a new HEART and a new SPIRIT not a new LAW. And Ezekiel also speaks of it. There is only 1 covenant that issued law, the other covenants made in scriptures do not.
And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart:
Jer 31:31 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:
Jer 31:32 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD: (sacrificial law keeping)
Jer 31:33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people. (Law keeping without sacrfice from the heart)
Jer 31:34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more. (Due to Christ Sacrifice)
Ezekiel 11:19 And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them an heart of flesh:
Ezekiel 36:26 A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and i will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.
Rom 13:9 For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. (He explains that some of the old testament laws are summed up with love your neighbor)
1Jo 2:3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
1Jo 2:4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
He says he will give us a new heart, NOT that the heart, mind or the spirit determines what the law is or what sin is. He says he will put HIS laws in our hearts as he did for those in the old testament, the difference is that we also have Christ as our intercessor as our High Priest. We have the Comforter, the Holy Spirit to lead us to truth if we are seeking it.
"And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart:" Deu 6:6 Neither scripture tells us to let our hearts, conscience, or the spirit tell us what is right or wrong. Both tell us that the law would be written in our hearts. The old testament law.
Jeremiah 16:11,12
Then shalt thou say unto them, Because your fathers have forsaken me, saith the Lord, and have walked after other gods, and have served them, and have worshipped them, and have forsaken me, and have NOT KEPT MY LAW; And ye have done worse than your fathers; for, behold, ye walk every one after the imagination of his evil heart, that they may not hearken unto me:
Jeremiah 17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
Jeremiah 31:31-34
Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD: But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my LAWS in their inwards parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their GOD, and they shall be my people. And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity (lawlessness), and I will remember their sin no more.
Both covenants expect us to KEEP THE LAW OF GOD from the heart! if we want to be known by him. Where does the Bible say messianic jews will have different rules than converted gentiles? Or that both sects of people no longer have to keep the laws of the Father because all are considered Christian now?
Here's an article that explains Pauls writings:
I know what scripture you're gonna use Acts 15, and that was a debate on Circumcision, not the entire law. We are not to call unclean what the Father has cleansed. The message of this passage was to let us know that we should be circumcised of the heart. We should not focus on the rituals and traditions of the Jewish sect. It explained that men who were circumcised were counted as not, and men who weren't were counted as they were because of their hearts. That the Father counted them uncircumcised flesh but circumcised hearts as clean and accepted into the family of the Father.
Do you also remember the passage where Peter had a vision of clean and unclean meat Acts 11? He didn't understand it, and when 3 converted gentiles knocked on his door then it made since. The Father can cleanse any man by converting his heart. Back then the jews had a rule that they were not to speak with gentiles. This was never a rule of the Father. You may have thought this was to cleanse all meats, but you would be mistaken and taught wrong. Even Peter refused to change his ways from the Law of the Father, but understood the message after the men showed up. No where does scripture say that converted jews and converted gentiles will have different sets of rules, actually quite the opposite is how scriptures read. They are both expected to follow the same set of rules.
But the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be unto you as one born among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.
Ye shall have one manner of law, as well for the stranger, as for one of your own country: for I am the LORD your God.
Also thou shalt not oppress a stranger: for ye know the heart of a stranger, seeing ye were strangers in the land of Egypt.
One law shall be to him that is homeborn, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among you.
For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.
Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.
Eph 4:4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;
Eph 4:5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
Eph 4:6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
No where is there an OT prophecy was it prophicied that the Law of God will be abolished. Amos says the Lord will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets. (Amos 3:7) So why do we continue to stand on the belief that converted gentiles are exempt from keeping the Law of God? Why do we manipulate scriptures to meet this desire of our beliefs? Protestant churches use the scripture that says we follow the 2 commandments that Christ gave. To love the father with all your heart mind and strength, and love thy neighbour as thy self. They fail to realize the context of this set of verses.
Christ was asked to choose from the written law what is the greatest commandment Matthew 22:36-40, he then quoted Deuteronomy 6:4 and Leviticus 19:18. Some also fail to realize that both verses summarize ALL of the old testament commandments. Which is what Christ said after quoting these verses; on these two hang all the law and the prophets. Christ never said we do not have to follow the old testament laws. He did say to keep the commandments.
Those who do realize they summarize all commandments do not understand that to know how to love the Lord and love your neighbor you need more text to explain it, which is written in the old testament commandments. They think if it's not in the new testament then you let your heart or the Spirit lead you to know how to treat others.
Here's an article that helps you understand that our heart or the Spirit does not make the rules:
Jeremiah says our hearts are deceitful above all things who can know it 17:9. Why would you put away what the Lord said is Good, Just, Pure, Perfect, Liberty, Truthful, and Righteous to follow your own heart which is deceitful?
The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.
Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.
If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good.
I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.
But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully;
And I will walk at liberty: for I seek thy precepts.
The commandments are our guide to live as the Father would have us live. How to love and honor him and others are explained in detail. This is how life will be lived with him in eternity. There was NO need to repeat them all in the new testament. They were already recorded.
Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
Mat 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
Mat 5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
Why do we say the old testament has no place in our life; due to society has changed, due to the reasons no longer apply to us, due to our acceptance of the sin in this world? Do you know that the Lord NEVER changes, he is the same yesterday, today, and forever? Heb 13:8 What is our argument when we read 1 John 3:4 "Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law." ??? Transgression means rebellion, so if we rebel and break the old testament laws we are sinning. So many people say if it's not stated in the new testament it doesn't apply to converted gentiles. What scripture says you only have to follow rules repeated in the new testament? How do you make the distinction between converted Jews and converted gentiles and which rules each has to keep? Since the entire book was written to the Jews, the new testament in an attempt to convert them to Messianic Jews, and those converted gave the message to gentiles in an attempt to convert them to Messianic Jews, the rules are equal between the two groups. Same religion, same rules. The Lord doesn't support 2 separate religions. ONLY ONE, only his, only the ones who have the faith of His Son Jesus, AND keep his commandments.
Numbers 15:29 Ye shall have one law for him that sinneth through ignorance, both for him that is born among the children of Israel, and for the stranger that sojourneth among them.
Example Paul, who was a jewish tax collector on the hunt for Messianic Jews when he was converted to one himself. The Lord changed his name from Saul to Paul. Another Example: Do not take the Lords name in vain is not written in the new testament, and all would agree that is still recognized as a sin.
Do you not realize that each book Paul wrote was to a sect of Jews, messianic jews that had converted gentiles in their flock. These books were not written to gentile group's of people (the lost and wicked). Paul did preach to wicked Gentiles, but his letters were to those who had converted.
Paul always taught to the Jews first and then the converted gentiles. The Jews always came first as they were already keeping the laws of God, they just needed to gain faith in Christ and make a couple changes, where as gentiles needed to do both.
Eph 2:11 Therefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;
Eph 2:12 That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:
Eph 2:13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.
For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office:
Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in. (He was a non believing jew that was grafted into the family)
Rom 11:23 And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again.
Rom 11:24 For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be graffed into their own olive tree?
Rom 11:25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
Rom 11:26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
Rom 11:27 For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.
And being brought on their way by the church, they passed through Phenice and Samaria, declaring the conversion of the Gentiles: and they caused great joy unto all the brethren We've allowed generations to teach us that Paul taught that we converted gentiles do not have to follow the law as the jews do. We failed to realize that is not what he is teaching. Paul himself says on several occasions that he himself delights in and follows the Law. Paul would not contradict Christ teachings. Yes Christ taught only Jews and Paul sought out the Jews first and then the gentiles, but the teachings were the same for both parties and from both leaders.
The only way to gain eternal life now is by faith in Christ, having the Faith OF Christ, and keeping the commandments.
Some of these scriptures are not Pauls writings, but all show that there is a place for obeideance to the law.
For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:
Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.
If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good.
For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law. (ratified the current old testament law to exclude sacrifices, oblations, corporal punishment, and Levitical Preisthood)
But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed. (ratified law)
Jas 2:8 If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well:
Jas 2:9 But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors.
Jas 2:10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. (continuing to make sacrifices, following of the levitical preisthood, and stoning people to death)
Jas 2:11 For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law.
Jas 2:12 So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.
LOVE thy Neighbour
Lev 19:18 Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am the LORD.
Mat 5:43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
Mat 19:19 Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
Mat 22:39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
Mar 12:31 And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.
Rom 13:9 For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. (He explains that the old testament laws are summed up with love your neighbor)
Gal 5:14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
Jas 2:8 If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well:
Jas 4:11 Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge.
And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.
SIN is breaking the law 1Jo 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
Old and New testaments repeat the same request KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS
Ex 16:28, Ex20:6, Lev 22:31, Deu 5:10, Deu 5:29, Neh 1:9, Pro 3:1, Pro 4:4, Pro 7:2, Dan 9:4, John 14:15, John 15:10, I John 2:3-4
No laws have changed, a few have been lifted. We are not to follow every law in the old testament, this would nullify the sacrifice of Christ if we were to continue to sacrifice animals. BUT we are to follow the ratified Law of Christ which are written in full in the Old Testament, and specified in the New Testament, the ones we no longer keep. (No more sacrifices, no more Levitical priesthood, no more corporal punishments/judgements)
Scripture says many times to inherit the Kingdom of God you must OBEY his commandments. So why do we deny this requires actions, or deny that it’s talking about the Old Testament Laws? How have we’ve been convinced that the law is void?
Matthew 5:19, 19:17, Mark 10:19, 12:29, Luke 1:6, John 14:15, 14:21, 15:10, 1 Corinthians 7:19 14:37, 1 Timothy 4:2, 1 John 2:3-4, 3:22-24, 5:2-3, 2 John 1:6, Rev 12:17, 14:12, 22:14
Yes I am aware that obeideance, acts of works, or good deeds does NOT gains ones salvation by itself, BUT neither does belief alone. We must have both!! This is called Faith, action plus belief.
This article explain it
For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
Rom 13:9 For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. (He explains that the old testament laws are summed up with love your neighbor)
But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully;
Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,
If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron?
Heb 9:19 For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book, and all the people,
Heb 9:22 And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission
Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law;
Who is given Eternal Life? Who is saved?
We are those who follow the commandments of the Father, those Who believe Christ is our Messiah, and carry the faith of Christ (believing as Christ believed) with us, as it is written. By doing this we gain the apperance of righteouness given by Christ to the Father.
Matthew 25:46 ……the righteous into life eternal
Romans 5:21 That as sin (breaking the law) reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.
Titus 1:2 In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;
1 John 2:25 And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life.
1 John 3:15 Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.
John 5:24 Verily, Verily I say unto you, He that hath my word (law), and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
John 12:26 If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father Honor. (Follow Christ, in his ways, he followed all OLD testament commandments, died and rose a SINLESS man)
John 12:48-49 He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day. For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.
Galatians 6:7-8 Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit (pneuma) shall of the Spirit (pneuma) reap life everlasting.
Matthew 5:19, 15:9, 19:17, 22:40, Mark 10:19, 12:29, Luke 1:6, 18:20, John 14:15, 14:21, 15:10, 1 Thessalonians 4:2, 1 John 2:3-4.
Rev 22:14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
Never has our own actions gained salvation, and never will. We must love the Father and Son, with this love we will be compelled to believe in our Messiah, we will be compelled to have His faith in the WiLL of God which is keeping the commandments to the best of our ability.
Will you allow men to you contiune to pin you against Christ and the Father?
Will you allow men to continue to convince you that Paul taught against the Son and the Father?
Wouldn't that make Paul an Antichrist!?
An Antichrist is Someone who teaches opposite of what Christ teaches. Christ says to keep the commandments, but Paul says no you don't have to. How does Paul have the authority to override what Christ teachings?
Paul doesn't have that authority! and He didn't speak against the Lord! We have to reevaluate the teachings of Paul as they have been misinterpreted.
All part of the great delusion. If possible even the very elect will be deceived.
A good series to help with undertanding what Paul was writing is:
An article that goes over what Paul preached:
These books (new testament) were to serve the purpose to prove and share that Christ was and is the Messiah, our Savior, to establish some changes to the existing laws, and for us to share them with the next generation. They record some miracles, some sermons, some parables , and some parts of the life of Christ. They show us the struggle of converted orthodox jews difficulty accepting the changes to their laws, to their priesthood and them trying to push Circumcision (a ritual practice of circumcision) on the converted gentiles.
Since Peter had a dream about clean and unclean meat and the Lord said do not call unclean what I have cleansed, talking about the 3 gentiles that would shortly knock on his door, the Father revealed here that physical Circumcision was not what was most important because uncircumcised men have been blessed with the Holy Ghost. They had circumcised hearts. The sign of Circumcision of the heart was A concept spoken of in both testaments. To be circumcised of the heart, believing in what you are doing. Not just aimlessly following rules or only keeping them for a reward. We have to realize the Father NEVER told the jews they were not allowed to talk to gentiles, this was a tribal rule. The father did say not to hang out with him since they live a life of sin, but if they wanted to change their life and follow the rules; the stranger was allowed to sojourn with the tribes and treated as an equal IF he agreed to keep the laws. This was documented in the old testament.
Exo 12:48 And when a stranger shall sojourn with thee, and will keep the passover to the LORD, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and keep it; and he shall be as one that is born in the land: for no uncircumcised person shall eat thereof.
Lev 17:8 And thou shalt say unto them, Whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers which sojourn among you, that offereth a burnt offering or sacrifice,
And if a stranger shall sojourn among you, and will keep the passover unto the LORD; according to the ordinance of the passover, and according to the manner thereof, so shall he do: ye shall have one ordinance, both for the stranger, and for him that was born in the land.
And if a stranger sojourn with you, or whosoever be among you in your generations, and will offer an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD; as ye do, so he shall do.
Some say Christ fulfilled the law and it is now gone. This is not what that means. He tells us that the law will not go anywhere until the heaven and earth pass away. He came to give us an example of what the Law means, how it should look on someone sincere, how it is to be applied to our lives, and ratified some.
Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
Mat 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
G4137 Pleroo-Fulfill:
to make full, to fill up, i.e. to fill to the full to cause to abound, to furnish or supply liberally I abound, I am liberally supplied
to render full, i.e. to complete to fill to the top: so that nothing shall be wanting to full measure, fill to the brim
to consummate: a number to make complete in every particular, to render perfect
to carry through to the end, to accomplish, carry out, (some undertaking)
to carry into effect, bring to realisation, realise of matters of duty: to perform, execute
of sayings, promises, prophecies, to bring to pass, ratify, accomplish
to fulfil, i.e. to cause God's will (as made known in the law) to be obeyed as it should be, and God's promises (given through the prophets) to receive fulfilment
Mat 5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
G1096 Ginomai-fulfilled:
to become, i.e. to come into existence, begin to be, receive being
to become, i.e. to come to pass, happen of events
to arise, appear in history, come upon the stage of men appearing in public
to be made, finished of miracles, to be performed, wrought
to become, be made
Some say to follow the law is a works based religion or legalism. SURPRISE! Everything we do is works based.
Because what is in our heart shows in our works whether it is good or bad.
We will be judged on our deeds, our works because this is what is in our hearts.
This concept this is speaking of is when you aimlessly comply with something you don't understand, don't believe in, or don't have a the heart and mind to give faith to. That would be work based or legalism.
Who will render to every man according to his deeds:
Jde 1:14 And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints,
Jde 1:15 To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.
Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.
Rev 20:12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
Rev 20:13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.
If we have the faith of Christ we will want to honor him in obedience. We will want to keep the commandments. This is faith, not work based religion. If we admit the truth we first have to admit we are wrong, which is very hard for most people. People don't like acknowledging that they fell for a lie, that they based life decisions on that lie, that they shared that lie with other, or that they defended that lie. It's easier to deny that you may be wrong, than seeing the truth of the hard evidence provided to you that proves you were lied to, mislead, or have false doctrines.
This article tells you where false doctrins leads:
Don't get me wrong....I'd say 97% of folks who taught this false doctrine also fully believed it themselves. This lie has been circling for so many generations there's not an originator still living. There's no need to get angry at anyone, just talk to the Father ask for forgiveness and help through your walk seeking truth. The Lord will accept you with open arms. He is waiting for his people to come home to him. He will help you see the truth. Will you hear his call?
Share this message with others what I've shared with you. This is our duty. Scripture says there will be many that say Lord Lord did I not preach in your name, cast out demons and such and Christ will say Matthew 7:23 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity" spoken by Christ
1Jo 2:3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
1Jo 2:4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. Iniquity means lawlessness, breakers of the law. He's talking to those who followed false doctrines and not the laws of the Father. Who have you thought this verse was talking about, what group of people? Orthodox jew? They don't believe Christ was the Messiah and therefore would not have preached in his name He's not speaking to the wicked world here. Why would they do anything in the name of Christ!? Christ is the one coming back, not the Father according to scriptures. So what groups of folks is left that preach in the name of Jesus? Protestants, catholics, and messianic jews
These all have faith in Christ
Which group followed/follows his commandments and have the faith OF Christ?
Catholic religion has been proven by their actions and scriptures to be the antichrist beast so its not them, and they do not follow the laws of the Father. Protestants proudly confirms they don't follow the commandments because each person is to follow their own heart or conscience or the Holy Spirit for right and wrong. I feel that most protestants that read this verse feel it's talking about a different denomination other than theirs or about the Jews.
Messianic jews did and do. These are those promised eternal life. These are those who are set apart from the world and from false religions. The salt of the world. The chosen people of God. Those who have the Faith of Christ and keep the commandments from love. We read about the Great Delusion, but we think we will see it when it comes. The delusion is here, it's not yet completed, but we are living in it right now. It has taken over so many many generations already.
So many believe that they can live life NOT keeping the commandments and gain eternal life. Those will be them that cry Lord Lord, and he will say depart from me, I never knew you.
A list of things that have all been changed, manipulated, altered, our delusion:
Sunday law will be the icing on the cake. This will be when the mark of the beast is upon us. When we are faced with keeping the law of the Land by force, forsaking the Law of God publicly. The 4th commandment, to keep the 7th day Sabbath Holy.
Protestants will support this movement not realizing they are the False Prophet. The Catholic Church is already gearing up for it, calling it necessary for Climate Change. The 2 great powers prophesied about in scriptures. The AntiChrist and the False Prophet. The 1st and 2nd beasts of Revelation. The Catholic church and the Protestant Church. These two who are wiping out the Law of the Lord inch by inch.
Articles to show you what the Bible says about the AntiChrist and the False Prophet:
1Jo 2:3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
1Jo 2:4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. If we recognize that Christ said if you love me keep my commandments AND my doctrines are not my own but of he who sent me. Then it should be obvious that he's talking about old testament commandments as the new testament had not yet been written. That we should keep them. Will you?
If you are under the impression that Christ gave different rules to keep over the Father Please read my article that goes over Pauls teachings:

Revelation 14:12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
John backs up Christ and Paul in saying we should keep the commandments as well as have faith OF Christ. We can't have one without the other. Both must be in place to receive eternal life. Will I see you caught up by Christ on the Last day!?
Why do we fight SO hard against it!?
I found this truth when I was so feed up with all the lies told to me in my life. I asked the Lord to reveal truth to me. It didn't happen all at once. It has been a process, but he was faithful to his word. I sought and found by his grace and guidance. NOW I'm trying to help your path be a little smoother than mine, a little faster. As we are living in the last days, and we all need the truth to make it, to overcome to the end, and into eternity.
What is your next move?
Have the Faith OF Christ and keep the commandments
Stand on man's understanding, not keeping the law
