Once again you lie and you slander me and many others.
It comes down to salvation.
Obedience is a result of faith, as I posted to you a few posts back.
True faith in the Son of God will produce obedience.
Once again you ignored my post about making disciples, teaching them to be like Jesus
With regard to your second paragraph. Tosh tosh
Then why did you say "Jesus would say" obedience to God has no bearing on Salvation when you and "many" who come in Christ's name teach that true faith is supposed to result in obedience to God? If it has no bearing, then why is it to bring the obedient fruits?
And why then would a man, who has the Spirit of the Christ in them, partake of and promote a religion which is so saturated by man made religious traditions which transgress the Commandments of God that the Bible can no longer support it unless they erase volumes and volumes of His Word?
And if EVERYONE who claims to have Faith has it, why did my Lord and Savior say;
21 Not every one that saith unto me,
Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven;
but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
And what is the Will of the Father in Heaven? That we create images of Him in the likeness of some long haired men's hair shampoo model and place Jesus' name on it to the point where the whole world is actually convinced it is Him, when you and I both know it is not? Is Christ the minister of lies? Can you provide me with scriptures where it is the Father's Will for us to reject HIS Holy Sabbath that He created for men. Can you show me where rejecting His Holy Days and promoting Pagan festivals that religious men placed the Christ's name on is the Will of God? Can you show me the scriptures which teach the New Covenant has ANYTHING to do with the re-defining sin?
Am I frustrated by the intellectual dishonesty of so many who claim to be already immortal, already saved, but will not even address these questions which are most certainly valid? Rather, they ridicule and ignore and call names of those who would ask them.
And why Bill, to better understand His Word? To grow in the knowledge of Christ? No, they do these things to defend their religion and their stubborn pride EXACTLY the same way the Mainstream Preachers of Christ's time who killed Him and His Prophets did so to preserve their own face in the light of what Jesus exposed about them.
Absolutely I'm frustrated. I care about you.
Don't you know that satan deceives the whole world into disobedience through religions which call the Christ Lord, Lord?
Let's engage in a Bible discussion about this phenomenon.
Do you not realize Mainstream Christianity is the greatest promoter of disobedience to the God of Abraham on the entire planet?
Let's engage in a Bible discussion about this phenomenon.
How I wish everyone could just set aside the promotion of their religious franchise, and set aside their religious traditions and just let all the Words of God flow like a river of living water through their hearts.
If you were to just read His Word without any influence from the Catholic or her daughters religion, you would, like Jesus and His Apostles did, follow His Sabbaths without question. The Word of God is clear on that. If you were to just study God's Word apart from the influence of mainstream doctrines, you would never partake, as Jesus and His Prophets and Disciples never partook, of a man made image of God, or man made High Days placed on Pagan holy days. You would avoid both like the plague. The Bible is clear on that.
If only you could trust Him enough to choose to "Live By" ALL of His words over those of the smooth sounding preachers of the land which preach "peace, peace (You are saved) when there is not peace. If only you could understand that it isn't obedience to God that is the burden and the yoke, it is religious deception which has plagued man since satan quoted God to convinced Eve God's instructions were to keep her blind.
I've always liked you Billy, and still do. I hope that someday you might think about some of this stuff and "DO" as He instructs.
4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying,
Come out of her,
my people,
that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
5 For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities. (Lawlessness)
