Well, you don’t think we’ll of me but think I don’t like Jews. If you’re not honest enough to admit what word describes that sort of person, then you should consider transparency.
Dottie, what I know is what you have told me personally. Those things are no one else’s business. But, some of them IMO, just might be the reason why your emphasis is More on obedience than grace.
Grace is Holy Spirit within. Something no one had until Jesus. This is a gift. The greatest gift man could ever receive. Plus, He gives us this gift only because we obey His Word by belief. What we believe about His Son is most important to Father. It pleases Him when we believe His Word. He is good and He withholds nothing that is good from us. We just ask.
I love Israel and the people. But, their thinking is based on doing good. This knowing of good and evil is the “tree” that Jesus put to death. Otherwise we are in a constant state of condemnation.
The law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set us free from the law of sin and death, and the 10 commandments are now the inward desire, not the outward demand. The ability is from Him alone.
I should have written He is a gift. Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Father, yet when we need? He can take on form as a person. How can we understand Him? By faith in it is written. And faith brings result.
