Why don't you name all the "religious traditions" and "doctrines of the world" that I "allegedly" promote that you condemn me for.
The Word of God does not teach your perverted gospel of salvation by "grace plus law, faith plus works" (Galatians 1:6-9) but the Word of God does teach salvation by grace through faith, not works. (Ephesians 2:8,9) It's really simple! The gospel is the "good news" of the death, burial and resurrection of Christ (1 Corinthians 15:1-4) and is the
power of God unto salvation to everyone that
BELIEVES.. (Romans 1:16). To "believe" the gospel is to
trust in the death, burial and resurrection of Christ as the ALL-sufficient means of our salvation.
I don't condemn your peaching, the Word of God does.
The Law and Prophets is not the "Old Covenant". The Word of God teaches that it was the Priesthood and the "LAW" regarding who would partake in the Priesthood, which was changed. According to the Christ, God preserves His Laws in the New Covenant by writing them on the hearts of HIS People. It's in your bible.
Heb. 7:
11 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?
12 For the priesthood being changed, there is made
of necessity a
change also of the law.
13 For he of whom these things are spoken
pertaineth to another tribe, (Judah not Levi)of which no man gave attendance at the altar.
14 For
it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda;
of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood.
15 And it is yet far more evident: for that after the similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest,
16 Who is made,
not after the law of a carnal commandment, (Appointed by corruptible men as the Priesthood Law commanded) but after the
power of an endless life.
Mainstream Christianity, and by extension you, preach the "old covenant" the Word of God speaks of is
all of God's Laws. I have pointed out in God's Word's where this is simply not true. But you are convinced otherwise. You preach your traditions, not what God's Word says regarding God's New Covenant.
Yes, you use some of God's Word, as did the deceiver with Eve, but refuse to consider "EVERY" Word of God.
I believe 100% in the wisdom, death, burial of the sinless human, Jesus the Christ, and His resurrection, and His ability to remove my sins so I am able to take up my flesh and "SERVE", with His Help, the Living God "acceptably with reverence and fear. The living God of the Bible Dan, not your religious franchise or another religious franchise.
This would mean, in my opinion, to trust HIS WORDS over the religions of the land. His definition of sin over yours. His Definition of "Faith" as shown by Abraham. His definition of what is HOLY and what is not.
To Trust and accept HIS definition of the "New Covenant", not religious mans.
I am not using my words, but have laid out God's Words in describing His New Covenant. I asked valid questions of you which you completely ignored. If you don't believe Jeremiah, you will not believe in the Christ, at least the Christ of the Bible. Why? Because I say so? No Dan, because HE said so.
Luke 16:
29 Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets;
let them hear them.
30 And he said, Nay, father Abraham:
but if one went unto them from the dead,
they will repent.
31 And he said unto him,
If they hear not Moses and the prophets,
neither will they be persuaded,
though one rose from the dead.
1 Cor. 15:
1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel
which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
2 By which also ye are saved,
if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
Rom. 2:
11 For there is no respect of persons with God.
12 For as many as have sinned without law
shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law
shall be judged by the law;
13 (For not the hearers of the law
are just before God,
but the doers of the law shall be justified.
Not the Levitical priesthood ceremonial, sacrificial "Works of the Law" for the cleansing of sins, that was the "Old Covenant", but by the "Faith" of Abraham who was blessed "BECAUSE" He Trusted and believed in the Word of God enough to "DO" as He was instructed.
