The Lord hates you all and even the SDA.

You and the SDA have no idea how many SDA will fail that investigative judgement.

They know that there are not many who will pass the test and it vexes them.


what can you say when judgement and death seem to give some 'joy'? The Bible states that God has no pleasure in the death of the wicked so...

Say to them, As I live, declares the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way and live; turn back, turn back from your evil ways, for why will you die, O house of Israel? Ez.33:11
 
Sunday church folk are, the worst of the worst, they have the mark of the beast in the end times.

The mark of the beast is that Sunday worship.

How they got that from 'a mark on the right hand' I will never know but that is what they believe.

Jesus hates Sunday worship because it is an abomination and so is worship. On every other day
of the week except the seventh day after the new moon.

Jesus started his investigative judgement 150 years ago and it's ongoing. How many commandment
breakers has He on his list so far?

The SDA is the true church and all the other churches do not have Ellen White and they will burn.

Stoke them hell fires!

Not all of it as you consistently evidence. You do not believe that the New Covenant is THE covenant and neither does your pal or any others of your persuasion.

The op names the 10 commandments as THE covenant. It is not.

The author of Hebrews, (Paul most believe), is quoting directly from the OLD Testament...
Jer 31:31-33
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: 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: 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.

Heb 8:8-10
8 For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah: 9 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord. 10 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:

Jeremiah was talking about the law in verse 33. "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."
Which law?

Paul quotes Jerimiah
Which law is being quoted?

What law is to be written in the hearts and minds by Jesus?

If the devil was wanting to destroy the covenant between God and man.. he needs to destroy the thing that Jesus wants to write on our hearts.
It makes sense why 90% of the Christian world today look so lightly on the 10 commandments and find excuses to forget it.
 
We can disagree on this...

I believe the new covenant is for Jesus to write the law in our hearts.
And if (condition) we allow Jesus to renew a new heart within us and transform us, He will be our God.

"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."

The old failed because the people said "We will do", they couldn't do what they promised. By faith Abraham, Moses, David, Daniel and many more allowed God to change their hearts.

We need to allow Jesus to do it in us.

But if you do not believe in the law or understand it, then how can the Holy Spirit convict you of sin or convict you of changes that need to be made.

That still, small, voice can't be heard if you reject the truth.
 
Exo 19:8-9
8 And all the people answered together, and said, All that the LORD hath spoken we will do. And Moses returned the words of the people unto the LORD. 9 And the LORD said unto Moses, Lo, I come unto thee in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with thee, and believe thee for ever. And Moses told the words of the people unto the LORD.

All that the Lord hath spoken we will do..

Exo 24:3 And Moses came and told the people all the words of the LORD, and all the judgments: and all the people answered with one voice, and said, All the words which the LORD hath said will we do.

We will do...

Did they ? No they failed

Better promises is what we have..

"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:"

Which law???

2Co 3:3 Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart.

Psa 37:31 The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide.

Psa 40:8 I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart.

Isa 51:7 Hearken unto me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law; fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be ye afraid of their revilings.

Zec 7:12 Yea, they made their hearts as an adamant stone, lest they should hear the law, and the words which the LORD of hosts hath sent in his spirit by the former prophets: therefore came a great wrath from the LORD of hosts.

Rom 2:15 Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;)

Heb 10:16 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;

Psa 51:10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.

Allow God to write His law on your heart.

Rev 14:12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

Rev 22:14-15
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. 15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.


These verses reveal God's desire for a deeper, more intimate relationship with His people, where obedience springs from an internal transformation rather than mere external observance.

2Co 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

Righteousness by faith.

We agree on this.

But I believe that faith is manifested in works.

I believe ... Rom 3:31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.
Rom 6:1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? 2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? ... Rom 6:12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.

But we have different definitions on what sin is. Or what constitutes sin.

We have moved to another thread. Jesus declares that He is the way to God and not obedience to commandments. If you are actually a believer (anyone not just you) then you have the Holy Spirit within you and you have a changed 'heart'. However this is not instantaneous in that we will never sin again. Look up 'sanctification'. It is what happens once we are saved, if we desire to follow Christ we will desire to stop sinning.

The ten commandments are the law given at Mt Sinai.

Your saying in effect that Gentiles are under the law given at Mt Sinai.

Which is basically refuting what Paul said.

Romans 6:14
For sin shall not be master over you, for you are not under the Law but under grace.

Explain why circumcision forfeits grace but sabbath obedience does not forfeit grace?

Both the sabbath and circumcision are the law at Mt Sinai.

Galatians 5:3
And I testify again to every man who has himself circumcised, that he is obligated to keep the whole Law.

It is also true that the sabbath law forces you to obey the whole law.
 
Christ has told us HE does not change.
God/Christ does not change but His covenants/contracts/agreements He makes with various parties differ according to the times, conditions and the party. Evidence of this is throughout the entire scripture otherwise all you would see is one covenant, one contract, one agreement.

If what you have written, Were true, why then does the WORD of God state otherwise? Isaiah 66
22 For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain.
23 And it shall come to pass, [that] from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD.
These scriptures do not apply to this age. This is after the second coming when Satan is locked up and a new covenant is established with the remnant of the house of Israel and the house of Judah, that will be written on their hearts (Jeremiah 31: 31-34). This new covenant is not made with the other nations, Gentiles, (sheep) who will be spared at the second coming. And also as I mentioned, this is not the New Covenant that was previously made in Christ’s Blood with the Children of God. With regards to the “all flesh come to worship before me”, eventually all will.

Zechariah 14
16 And it shall come to pass, [that] every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles. 17 And it shall be, [that] whoso will not come up of [all] the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain.
This will be a requirement for all nations, Gentiles, that were spared at the second coming... that they must come up year to year to worship the King who spared their lives and keep the feast of tabernacles. As many years pass some nations may forget the mercy they were shown when Christ spared their lives at His return as they become rich through many years of peace and abundance; the no rain will be the reminder.

Micah 4
1 But in the last days it shall come to pass, [that] the mountain of the house of the LORD shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow unto it.
2 And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the law shall go forth of Zion, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
Exactly. And this is where eventually “all flesh come to worship”. Besides the nations coming up year to year to keep the feast of tabernacles as a requirement, many of those nations who were spared at the second coming will eventually come, not as a requirement, but because they truly want to learn the ways of the Lord. This full conversion of the Gentiles is not something that will happen instantly after Christ returns.

The word "law" is the Hebrew word Torah #8451
The Torah is eternal, the Torah reveals to man the Divine Nature and Mind of God.
Christ, as He said, did not come to abolish the Torah, He came to add the Spiritual to the Physical, the Torah is now complete.
The Torah is not eternal… it’s a book that contains details of the law of Moses, the old covenant that was not made between God and the Gentiles, but between God and the children of Israel. Yes, Christ didn’t come to abolish the law of Moses, the old covenant between God and the children of Israel, He came to fulfill it by keeping it perfectly, without transgression, and then offer Himself as a blameless sacrifice to establish a New Covenant that can be made between God and any person God the Father draws to Him during this age. This New Covenant in Christ’s Blood is not added to the law of Moses, (the old covenant), it doesn’t replace the law of Moses that was a covenant made with the children of Israel and not Gentiles. It just ignores it and leaves it set aside where it lies dormant without a proper functioning priesthood of Aaron’s bloodline, without a Temple or tabernacle containing the Holy of Holies for a high priest, directly related to Aaron, to enter once a year. It just lays there with all the required animal sacrifices and details of all the other required duties dictated by God to Moses.. all written down in the Torah for the lost to continue trying to interpret and follow in any way that’s convenient for them. Many of these lost are not even related to the children of Israel by bloodline but are related to Gentiles who converted to Judaism (rabbinical interpretations of the old covenant) going as far back as Mordecai (Esther 8:17), or they’re just people like the SDA who merged some of the writings in the Torah with teachings of Christ,

But as mentioned already, after Christ returns He’ll establish a new covenant with the true remnant, according to bloodline, of the house of Israel and the house of Judah that will be written on their hearts.

The true remnant of the house of Israel and the house of Judah, by bloodline, will be a surprise to all peoples, especially the true remnant who had no idea that they were related to Jacob. Many will be brought “from the north country” and gathered “from the ends of the earth” for “He who scattered Israel will gather him” (Jeremiah 31: 8, 10) which shows they are not all cramped in the place that they originated.

And that old Torah you’re talking about will only exists as an historical document to remind the remnant of Israel exactly how stiff-necked their forefathers were,

I will add this;

After Christ has returned to earth as KING of Kings, and the third Temple is built, animal sacrifices will be re-established.

beginning in chapter 40 of Ezekiel, Christ, through Ezekiel explains all the functions ect that will take place. It also details how the Third Temple will be laid out. This Temple will be Huge. by the way, in our day there will be no temple built before Christ returns.
Yes… Ezekiel 40 and 48 is all true, as is the whole bible. After Christ returns and establishes a new covenant with the true remnant by bloodline, of the house of Israel and the house of Judah, (Jeremiah 31: 31-34) He “will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel; and one king [resurrected king David at Christ’s return, Ezekiel 37: 24, 1 Corinthians 15:51-52] shall be king over them all; they shall no longer be two nations, nor shall they ever be divided into two kingdoms again” (Ezekiel 37:22). As you correctly point out there will be a new Temple with animal sacrifices. And as I noted earlier, the Children of God who were under the New Covenant in Christ’s Blood before His second coming, which was fulfilled (ended) with His return, will be Spirit Beings ruling with Christ as kings under the King. These kings, at times of their choosing, will manifest themselves in the physical to guide and instruct those mortal men who are administering the kingdom of God on earth.

Now although this is something I can’t prove, I’m certain this will happen because Christ Himself made many physical appearances to Abraham and his descendants as the “Angel of the Lord” right up to Samson’s mother (Judges 13:2–5). And of course, He also appeared after His resurrection. So if Christ periodically appeared as the Angel of the Lord to the children of Israel in a world ruled by Satan, I have no doubt He will periodically appear, as well as His Brethren, to the children of Israel in a world ruled by Himself. They will all appear as young men, as so did the Angel of the Lord, in their early 20s.

Are the conditions for salvation different.?
Has the conditions change over time?

Will Adam and Abraham and Peter and people from today be in Heaven under different conditions.

There is one contract, covenant that has not changed. Made before the foundation of the world.
A covenant was made between God the Father and His Son, Jesus Christ, concerning the redemption of humanity if they should fall into sin. This solemn agreement, also referred to as the everlasting covenant or the covenant of mercy, was central to God's eternal plan for the salvation of the human race.

I’ve already explained this in detail many times but you either ignore my posts or glance through them like you did my last post. The conditions during this age ruled by Satan will not be the same conditions after Christ returns and Satan in locked up.

And Adam, Peter, and all the resurrected Children of God who are Spirit Beings dwelling in Heaven with Christ will not be under different conditions, they’ll be under a different condition than the conditions they were under while they lived in the flesh on the earth ruled by Satan
A covenant was made between God the Father and His Son, Jesus Christ,concerning the redemption of humanity if they should fall into sin.
A covenant was made between God the Father and the Children of God with Christ as the first born and resurrected Child of God and mediator. And this Covenant wasn’t made during a time "of humanity if they should fall to sin", it was made during a time of humanity that had already long fallen to sin
This solemn agreement, also referred to as the everlasting covenant or the covenant of mercy, was central to God's eternal plan for the salvation of the human race.
You’re merging all the covenants into one covenant and making up all sorts of names for it. I’ve already explained everything in detail.

Have the promises made to Israel in the prophets become redundant after there failure to obey
the old covenant?

Old covenant Israel and their law expired at the implementation of the new covenant.

We are under grace and not under the law (Romans 6:14).

The Gentiles were never the covenant people or under the law at Mt Sinai.

So Paul is not talking to the Gentiles in Romans 6.

We also know in the new covenant there is neither Jew or Greek.

That God still has a covenant relationship with Israel in the new covenant seems to be a paradox.

No one is to deceive you in any way! For it will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and

above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God,
displaying himself as being God.

For I could wish that I myself were accursed, separated from Christ for the sake of my countrymen,
my kinsmen according to the flesh, who are Israelites, to whom belongs the adoption as sons and daughters,
the glory, the covenants, the giving of the Law, the temple service, and the promises; whose are the fathers,
and from whom is the Christ according to the flesh, who is over all, God blessed amen.

The Catholics, the Reformers, the Orthodox, and the Protestants, were all dead wrong.

They bound themselves to the law of Mt Sinai.

Repeat after me; we are not under the law we are under the grace of our Lord.
 
Dispensationalism is a virus that has cause the Christians understanding of Reverlation, prophecy and the Bible to be greatly infected.

The history of this virus is clearly not understood..

The protestant reformation doing a great work in the world at revealing the TRUTH. slowly God was bring His people away from the evil traditions of the papacy.
Protestants were reading the Bible.
The antichrist was revealed to be the Catholic system. 99% of the Protestants over many countries and times came to the same conclusion.
So the Catholic church set out to destroy this thinking.. they invented Futurism and Preterism. Which placed the antichrist in the future or in the past. Taking the heat off them.. deception and lies..
Most reformers rejected it for hundreds of years until the virus took hold in the early 1800's. Like a contagious virus it spread and the concepts grew, like a plague. .. first futurism..
Then dispensationalism.. and then the secret rapture... and many other false doctrines..

False doctrines based on the lies of man..

Dispensationalism is not biblical.
The only virus I see is extreme fabricated grace and extreme fabricated works where both extremes are called “covenants”. If I say you can't keep on deliberately sinning. you must work to obtain perfection as our Father is perfect, I get accused of being works and law obsessed and discarding faith, if I say were not under the law of Moses therefore Sabbath observance is not required I get accused of breaking the law and therefore I'm a condemned sinner.
 
Many do not believe what I believe, that there are two new covenants. The New Covenant, where there is neither Jew nor Greek excluded, that is made in Christ's blood between God and the Children of God during this age, and the new covenant described in Jeremiah that will be made between God and the remnant of the house of Israel and the house of Judah after Christ returns.

I would disagree as Jesus left the house of Israel desolate.

It is very simple.

The gospel is believing in the death and resurrection of Jesus.

Then we receive the Holy Spirit on believing in Jesus.

The Holy Spirit provides the love that Jesus poured into our hearts.

Love is the law of Christ, the royal law, and loving others fulfills the law completely.

God is love.

Worked it out yet?
