The 10 reasons for the Law- the choice is yours what will it be ?
I can see again that you must deflect and change the subject away from your own false teaching, "God's Law is only for men born with a certain DNA. I posted who God Himself said His Law was for, but you refuse to even acknowledge these words, as you do others which cannot be used to justify your specific religious philosophy.
(1) Reveal the holy character of the eternal God to the nation of Israel (
Leviticus 19:2;
20:7–8).
Ex. 12:
49 One law shall be to him that is homeborn, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among you.
Lev. 19:
2 Speak unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say unto them, Ye shall be holy: for "I the LORD your God" am holy.
34 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.
According to God Himself, His LAW reveals His Holy Character to "ALL Flesh", even as it did for Abraham and Sodom. Not just men born of a certain DNA, as you and "Many" who come in Christ's name teach.
(2) Set apart the nation of Israel as distinct from all the other nations (
Exodus 19:5).
You see what you did again? You omitted the very purpose that God chose Israel given to us in the next verse.
6 And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel.
I asked you once, what is the purpose of a Priest of God? But you won't answer.
(3) Reveal the sinfulness of man (cf.
Galatians 3:19). Although the Law was good and holy (
Romans 7:12), it did not provide salvation for the nation of Israel.
God Law was never created to take away willful sin. It was always created to show mankind the Righteousness of God that HE before ordained that we should walk in them. As the Lord's Christ teaches us when HE was up where HE was before.
Is. 48:
16 Come ye near unto me, hear ye this; I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; from the time that it was, there am I: and now the Lord GOD, and his Spirit, hath sent me.
17 Thus saith the LORD, "thy Redeemer", the Holy One of Israel; I am the LORD thy God which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth thee "by the way that thou shouldest go". 18 O that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments! then had thy peace been as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea:
But you preach to the world that this "Way of the Lord" was a Yoke of Bondage, Rudiments of this world impossible for men to walk in.
This is why Jesus said to "Come out of her", the "her" being this world's religions.
“No one will be declared righteous in God’s sight by the works of the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of our sin” (
Romans 3:20; cf.
Acts 13:38–39).
This is true, as Isaiah 1 points out perfectly. If you live in rebellion to God's Judgments and Commandments, and create your own righteousness and your own judgments, there is no "Work of the Law" that can justify you.
(4) Provide forgiveness through the sacrifice/offerings (
Leviticus 1—7) for the people who had faith in the Lord in the nation of Israel.
And "
the stranger that dwelleth with them". It's not prudent to omit such an important part of God's Instruction in righteousness.
Not for willful sins though. It is important to note that the sacrifices only provided atonement for non-willful sins. Sins in ignorance. If you know God says not to do something, and you do it anyway, there was NO sacrifice for this willful sin. Not then, and not now.
Heb. 10:
26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,
(5) Provide a way of worship for the community of faith through the yearly feasts (
Leviticus 23).
The yearly feasts represent the Journey all men of faith must take, both the Homeborn, AND to the stranger who joins himself to the Lord. Salvation begins with Passover, but it is only the first step. It is the beginning of God's Salvation, not the end.
(6) Provide God’s direction for the physical and spiritual health of the nation (
Exodus 21—23;
Deuteronomy 6:4–19;
Psalm 119:97–104).
And the Stranger too, who joins himself to the Lord.
Is. 56:
6 Also the sons of the stranger, that join themselves to the LORD, to serve him, and to love the name of the LORD, to be his servants, every one that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and taketh hold of my covenant;
7 Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called an house of prayer "for all people". Not just men born with a certain DNA.
(7) Reveal to humanity that no one can keep the Law
Here is where you have lost your way and have rejected the God and Father of the Lords Christ. Because you have been convinced of the insidious lie that God placed a Law, a Yoke of Bondage on the necks of men who believed and trusted Him, that no man can obey, is a most evil and wicked judgment against God and is an insidious lie. To believe you I would have to believe that God is a liar, just as Eve was convinced by the serpent that God was a liar. I would have to believe that God lied to and about Abraham and Noah, and David, and Zacharias, and Anna and Simeon and all of the examples of Faithful men in the Bible. I would have to believe God lied to those men
when HE said they could keep His Laws. And I would have to believe that the Jesus "of the Bible" is also a liar and deceiver when HE commanded me to "Be ye perfect even as your father in heaven is perfect". When HE said "If you want to enter life, keep the commandments". I would have to believe Paul is a Liar, "
Circumcision (Jew) is nothing, and uncircumcision (Gentile) is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God.
To believe you and the Calvinists I would have to literally reject
"EVERY WORD" which proceeds out of the Mouth of God and the Prophets, and many of the Christ's Words as well.
And why? Because some man who transformed himself into an apostle of Christ convinced you God's Word cannot be trusted?
You don't have to "Yield yourself" a servant to obey this worlds religions Civic. Turn to God, it isn't too late.
but everyone falls short of God’s standard of holiness.
This is simply another falsehood taught to others by you. According to what God and His Son actually teaches, we fall short of the Glory "of God". But Abraham didn't fall short of
God's Standard of Holiness for him. Caleb didn't fall short of God standard of holiness for him. Neither did David or Zacharias, or Simeon or Anna or Cornelious, or "ANY" of the examples of Faithful men in the Bible.
1 Kings 11:
38 And it shall be, if thou wilt hearken unto all that I command thee, and wilt walk in my ways, and do that is right "in my sight", to keep my statutes and my commandments, as David my servant did; that I will be with thee, and build thee a sure house, as I built for David, and will give Israel unto thee.
David fell short of the Glory of God, but not short God's Standard of Holiness for mankind.
This is just another falsehood you have adopted and are promoting about God, that HE places a standard of Holiness on men's necks that is impossible for them to meet.
But when I read what is actually written, both you and the Calvinist are shown to be the purveyors of a "False Doctrine" that God is a liar, and the image of God in the likeness of some random men hair shampoo model is the new God.
That realization causes us to rely on God’s mercy and grace.
For what? You think you can preach to others falsehood about God, despise His Judgments and encourage others to do the same. Create your own righteousness, your own definition of love and holy and clean, your own image of God in the likeness of men, your own high days in worship of this image, and then plead to God for mercy and grace? Jesus already told you what HE will say Civic. You just don't believe in Him?
Matt. 7:
22 "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?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: "depart from me", ye that "work iniquity".
When Christ came, He fulfilled the Law and with His death paid the penalty for our breaking it (
Galatians 3:24;
Romans 10:4). By faith in Him, the believer has the very righteousness of Christ
imputed to him.
Again, you have your religion, but Jesus has His own Words.
Matt. 5:
17 Think not "that I am come to destroy the law", or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. 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.
Passover, the death of Christ is only the beginning of God's salvation, not the end as you falsely imply. Not all prophesy in the Law and Prophets has been fulfilled yet, the earth is still here, and Jesus has yet to return. And the Jesus "of the Bible" said not to even "THINK" HE came to destroy His Father's Inspired Word. But your entire religion is founded on the lie that HE
did come to destroy His Father's Words, and even worse, you imply in your religious philosophy that God lied to Abraham and Abrahm's children throughout the entire Law and Prophets.
How are you then, any different than a Calvinist or a Pharisee or a JW's or any of this world's religious men?
The purpose of the Mosaic Law raises these questions: “Are you trusting in yourself to keep all the Ten Commandments all the time (which you can’t do)?”
God's Law didn't raise that question for me. He showed me in His Words from the very beginning that men will fall in sin. Even in His very creation, a child must fall before he learns how to walk. In fact, this is why He writes His Laws on the hearts of His people, so we won't forget them which we have the propensity to do. From the very beginning God has shown mercy and instruction to His Children because HE knows Salvation is a journey, always pressing forward towards righteousness. The Jesus "of the Bible" said to "Be perfect" even as His Father is perfect. Both me and Paul "Press toward the Prize" of the High calling of this perfection which was in Christ Jesus.
Of course, there is a cost here, and a man must be willing to forsake the religions of this world and deny himself.
But not you Civic. You promote a religion in which Jesus keeps God's instruction for you. A religion where God's Words and instruction in righteousness are a deception, and you preach to me that I should not listen to God or His Son, but I should listen to you and follow your specific religious sect. In the same way the Pharisees promoted their religion, the same way the Calvinists promote theirs.
But Jesus saw this coming, and both Him and Paul warned about the deception this world's religions, "Who come in Christ's Name" brings to mankind. Even the serpent in the garden "Professed to know God".
OR “Have you made the choice to accept Jesus as your Savior, realizing that He has fulfilled all the commandments all the time for you,
This is a great marketing strategy for your adopted religion and the merchants of this world have waxed rich off this religious philosophy. But Jesus never said even one time that HE obeys God, so you don't have to. And a man must grow in the knowledge of God. Even Jesus learned obedience through the things HE suffered.
There is no Biblical truth in any of your "10 reasons for the Law", just as there is no biblical truth in "TULIP". Will you be like the Calvinists who reject the Scriptures which expose their manmade philosophy? Or will you repent, and turn to God like those Faithful men in the Holy Scriptures.
even paying your penalty for breaking them?” The choice is yours. got?
There is no sacrifice for willful sin Civic. Jesus made this clear in His Words concerning the Christians HE addressed in Mattew 7.
God's instruction in righteousness is not a Yoke of Bondage. And God is not a liar.
Turn away from the religions of this world that hate God Civic. Listen to the Sayings of the Christ "of the Bible".
Ez. 18:
31 Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will ye die, O house of Israel?
32 For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord GOD: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye.
