It's about following the love of God by the Spirit of God in us.
The Nature of God has not changed.
The same God has been ruling from the start.. God is live.. He did not have different moral laws for different times of history.
Sin has not changed.
There is no Jew or Gentile. We are one body, one Spirit.
1Co 12:13 KJV For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.
The law is Spiritual and it has not changed..
Only when a license to sin/license for immortality gets attached to it. Just like NOSAS is from the devil only when salvation by works/works righteousness gets attached to it.
Romans 8:8 - So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God. 9 But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His. 10 And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
Those who are not truly born again/the unrighteous who practice sin. (1 Corinthians 6:9-10; Galatians 5:19-21)
Common phrase used by those who teach sinless perfection. (1 John 1:8-10) Both licentiousness and self righteousness are the two extremes on the pendulum of heresy.
True faith results in works
No works = no faith they are linked and should not be seperated.
The Catholics say that the ten are binding.
I disagree and state openly that Gentiles were never under the law of Moses.
We are not talking about what would be taught in the last days, we may not even be in the the
last days.
We are talking about what was wrongly taught in the second century and prevails down
to this very day.
God claimed the Ten Commandments as His commandments Exo20:6 Deut4:13 not Moses. Moses did not even take credit for them in anyway way and he was there Exo32:16. It has God’s name not Moses in the first 4 commandments on how we are to love God. Moses name is not found in the Ten Commandments, this is a deception that God’s laws is Moses when its under God’s mercy seat, not Moses, its God personally written and spoken Testimony, Exo31:18 not Moses. When Jesus quoted from them,, He called them the commandment of God, not Moses Mat15:3-14 Mark 7:7-13 not sure how many times it needs to be repeated for one to believe.
I have never said we are saved by works
Works will NEVER be enough to purchase salvation.
You cannot do any works without the Holy Spirit.
You cannot receive the Holy Spirit in power unless you believe in Jesus Christ.
The reception of the Holy Spirit is the divine confirmation of your salvation.
Please do not muddy the clear water of the gospel with your church doctrine.
Just boast in Christ only.
Lies need the truth. Lies cannot exist without the existence of truth. Lies do not emanate from truth. The truth can in no way be held responsible for a lie. What Satan, or man, does with the truth is totally their own responsibility, as is the case for those who believe in lies. Therefore, we must be careful to always seek the truth. . . . . .

Food for thought!
Works-salvionists don't seem to understand the difference between mere "mental belief" in facts about God (James 2:19) and saving belief in Jesus Christ. (Acts 16:31) They also don't seem to make a distinction between faith and works. They basically take faith and works, wrap them both up in a package, then simply stamp "faith" on the package.
I have not claimed self righteousness.
My righteousness is found in Christ alone.
By Christ's righteousness I am saved, but that does not give me an excuse to continue in sin or live in sin.
Jesus came to save us not in Part or half save us from sin.. He came to fully, completely save us from sin..
Not just our past sins but also from the slavery of sin.
By faith we are saved completely..
You have failed repeatedly to show that the commandments were ever called the "ten commandments"
in the N.T. But this is simply ignored by you.
You have also failed to show that the ten were "moral law" from the scripture. Again the same attitude
of disregarding what is not even written in the scripture.
You have been warned about espousing church doctrine and everyone does that, don't they.
Because the commandments were in the Ark so what?
Because God wrote the law with His finger, so what?
You constantly imply, infer, rather than support your doctrine from the N.T.
You read The Great Controversy and believed it but that is not the scripture.
They have been so heavily conditioned into sabbath worship, that they cannot see
the light of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.
They named their church the seventh day.
That speaks volumes for an alternate gospel or should I say what Ellen believed.
What you stated is not true.
Stop pretending to believe in Jesus.
Your church is called the seventh day.
All you ever preach is the law of sin and death.
You must obey the sabbath day or you are marked by the devil himself.
All Sunday worship is of the devil.
This what you preach and it is never good news not by a long shot.
Fire and brimstone is all you know.
Have a good look at the title of this thread.
It has nothing to do with the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
No boasting about Jesus on this channel.
Yes, the meeting happened because some men came from Judea and told the Gentile believers that they must be circumcised to be saved (Acts 15:1 ). This brought confusion, so Paul and Barnabas went up to Jerusalem, where the apostles and elders met to settle the matter (Acts 15:2 ).
At the council, Peter reminded them that God had already accepted uncircumcised Gentiles when the Holy Spirit fell on Cornelius and his household (Acts 15:7–11 ). James then gave the decision: the Gentiles were not to be forced into circumcision or the full yoke of the Law of Moses, but they should start by keeping four commands taken from the Torah so they could walk clean and stay away from idolatry (Acts 15:19–20 ).
He added that Moses had been taught “in every city” and read “every Sabbath” (Acts 15:21 NKJV), showing the Gentile believers would keep learning God’s ways.
I leave here below the Acts 15 text so you can see for yourself, where does it said the Commandments were abolished? Jesus taught the Ten commandments the God declared to be the Covenant, Paul spoke also of the Ten commandments and quoted them
the Jerusalem Council decided not to burden the Gentiles with the rest of the ""LAW of Moses"" what was added for the transgression of God's chosen people. if you have forgotten, The Ten commandments were placed INSIDE the Ark of the Covenant, the law of Moses was was kept BESIDE the ark.
The Jerusalem Council
Act 15:1 And certain men came down from Judaea and taught the brethren, saying, Except ye be circumcised after the custom of Moses, ye cannot be saved.
Act 15:2 And when Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and questioning with them, the brethren appointed that Paul and Barnabas, and certain other of them, should go up to Jerusalem unto the apostles and elders about this question.
Act 15:3 They therefore, being brought on their way by the church, passed through both Phoenicia and Samaria, declaring the conversion of the Gentiles: and they caused great joy unto all the brethren.
Act 15:4 And when they were come to Jerusalem, they were received of the church and the apostles and the elders, and they rehearsed all things that God had done with them.
Act 15:5 But there rose up certain of the sect of the Pharisees who believed, saying, It is needful to circumcise them, and to charge them to keep the law of Moses.
Act 15:6 And the apostles and the elders were gathered together to consider of this matter.
Act 15:7 And when there had been much questioning, Peter rose up, and said unto them, Brethren, ye know that a good while ago God made choice among you, that by my mouth the Gentiles should hear the word of the gospel, and believe.
Act 15:8 And God, who knoweth the heart, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Spirit, even as he did unto us;
Act 15:9 and he made no distinction between us and them, cleansing their hearts by faith.
Act 15:10 Now therefore why make ye trial of God, that ye should put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?
Act 15:11 But we believe that we shall be saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, in like manner as they.
Act 15:12 And all the multitude kept silence; and they hearkened unto Barnabas and Paul rehearsing what signs and wonders God had wrought among the Gentiles through them.
Act 15:13 And after they had held their peace, James answered, saying, Brethren, hearken unto me:
Act 15:14 Symeon hath rehearsed how first God visited the Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name.
Act 15:15 And to this agree the words of the prophets; as it is written,
Act 15:16 After these things I will return, And I will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen; And I will build again the ruins thereof, And I will set it up:
Act 15:17 That the residue of men may seek after the Lord, And all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is called,
Act 15:18 Saith the Lord, who maketh these things known from of old.
Act 15:19 Wherefore my judgment is, that we trouble not them that from among the Gentiles turn to God;
Act 15:20 but that we write unto them, that they abstain from the pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from what is strangled, and from blood.
Act 15:21 For Moses from generations of old hath in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath.
works are evidence of faith. read James again i can quote if you dont remember where to look.
There you go again, an outright denial of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
You now have inserted repentance from sin in with the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Because someone said that in the book of Acts.
Is the book of Acts a doctrinal letter written by an authorized apostle?
Or is the book of Acts an early Christian history lesson?
Do you base doctrine on the book of Acts?
