The “Spiritual Law” is eternal, this is the law that condemned Satan of covetousness and prefaced his extrication from the Kingdom. This same Spiritual Law judged the Adamic and Noahic generations of compromise with the demonic where the Earth was judged by water.
The “Spiritual Law” is the law Elohim infused within the heart of human kind on Day-6 as human kind is created in the spiritual image of Elohim thereby possessing certain divine communicable attributes of Elohim concerning a sustainable society and judgment with due process.
Torah Law – the Code of Hammurabi are but mere fragments of the divine Spiritual Law having been codified for specific reasons.
It is the same Spiritual Law that is employed by the Holy Spirit in the New Covenant to arbitrate the redeemed conscience of the Christian and point them toward righteous behavior via the production of divine fruit (Galatians 5:16-23; John 15:8).
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9 (ESV)
Christian forgiveness in the New Covenant (Hebrews 8:12) is manifest not through obedience or one striving to be obedient subsequent salvation but a Christian’s forgiveness is the result of the imputed-gifted perfection of Jesus over the life of the one who believes that Jesus is Messiah (2 Corinthians 5:21).
The Father makes an affirmative choice via New Covenant promise (Hebrews 8:12) to NOT see the sin of those redeemed by faith in the Son but the Father only sees the righteousness of His dear Son over the life of the faithful in the New Covenant and thereby declares that person “not guilty,” eternally (2 Corinthians 5:21; John 10:28-30).
With that said, the Christian becomes a “new creation” (2 Corinthians 5:17) and their attitude, their perception, of sin and the World changes due to the presence of the indwelling Holy Spirit (Ephesians 1:13-14) who begins a good work within the Christian as the Spirit arbitrates the redeemed conscience and during daily Christian sanctification, the Spirit points the redeemed toward righteousness; He does this through His anointing whereby the Spirit produces divine fruit (Galatians 5:16-23) through the redeemed and this fruit fulfills all law; both, codified and spiritual (Galatians 5:23) while this fruit actually pleases the Father and proves one to be a disciple of Jesus (John 15:8).
The Holy Spirit has provided the Christian 1 John 1:9 not for the restoration of New Covenant relationship due to a Christian’s sin but 1 John 1:9 restores intimacy with our Creator which is the most prized element of salvation.
The Christian is in a battle, an inner struggle between the Adamic sin-nature (Romans 5:12) and the New Nature in Messiah (Romans 7:14-25; 2 Corinthians 5:17) and though the Christian hates sin, deplores its presence, they do, from time-to-time, fall short of perfect obedience; therefore, that disobedience does NOT destroy New Covenant relationship but fractures the coveted intimacy with our Lord; intimacy is disrupted due disobedience; therefore, the Christian confesses their short coming as per 1 John 1:9 which results in a clear conscience and restored intimacy….much like apologizing to a best friend for having wronged them…the relationship remains intact but there is a sense of division and loss of intimacy…an apology forthcoming heals this fracture and restores fellowship.
Israel’s children were foreordained to be ministers of the New Covenant’s Gospel; hence, Messiah’s ministry to them (Matthew 15:24); unfortunately, Israel’s children rejected their Messiah; Israel’s children rejected the New Covenant’s precepts of grace through faith in Yeshua while insisting that self-righteousness through Torah Law was the path to righteousness (Romans 10:1-4); Israel’s children conspired with Rome to murder their Messiah upon a cross and demanded that Messiah’s blood be upon them and their children (Matthew 27:25); therefore, Israel’s children were placed under judgment, blinded, while the Gospel, the New Covenant, the Great Commission, the Church, were given to the Gentile “until the fulness of the Gentiles have entered the Kingdom” (Matthew 23:37-39; Romans 11:25).
When you are saved by faith in Jesus as your Messiah, the Holy Spirit takes up residence within you (Ephesians 1:13-14) and there is a small, still, voice that resonates as you mature in your faith that verifies in your inner man that you are a child of the Living God. YOU KNOW THAT YOU KNOW…WORDS CAN’T ADEQUATELY EXPRESS THIS ASSURANCE BUT THERE IS JOY AND PEACE IN JESUS.
Your outlook on life changes, you understand the futility of this World while the JOY and peace of Jesus encapsulates your inner being. You desire to honor the Father and do His will for your life as selfishness and temporary irrelevant pursuits, the desire for same, disappear. You are content with and thankful for what the Lord has provided you. You are a “new creation” (2 Corinthians 5:17) with wisdom, discernment, that was not present before you trusted in Jesus as your Messiah. You intuitively KNOW that your Creator, Jesus our Messiah, and the Holy Spirit within you, “have your back.” You’re good, unshaken, irrespective of what life might throw at you. You have a “friend that sticks closer than a brother” in the Holy Spirit.
Finally, you have a passion, a love for the Scriptures and the knowledge and wisdom they impart.
No one is justified by commandment keeping, if that were possible, Jesus died in vain (Galatians 2:21).
Where you fail in your theological understanding is a lack of knowledge or awareness concerning the transitional reality of the New Testament from Law to Grace. Torah plays a very diminutive role in the New Covenant; Torah simply points its adherents to their need for a divine Intercessor as Torah only condemns void grace.
If you trust in Torah, Law, your adherence to same in order to establish New Covenant relationship with the Father, you will perish in Hell in self-righteousness as NO ONE is justified by Law Keeping (Galatians 2:16). Faith in Jesus as your Messiah is the only Path to righteousness that the Father honors concerning eternal relationship with Him (Acts 4:12).
Does absolutely NOTHING to protect your brain, face, hearing. The last motorcycle wreck I assisted in investigating was a Harley rider who used too much front brake to stop for traffic, the front wheel locked and slid out from under him…face first he hit the rough concrete…I held him in my arms so that he could breathe as we waited for the ambulance to arrive…his face was crushed…his airway partially closed due to facial damage…one big, swollen, eye stared up at me as I was the one who enforced motorcycle NOISE violations in that area…had he been wearing a full face DOT approved helmet…he probably would have walked away or maybe suffered some neck and spinal trauma with hand injuries…but this guy was done for life…at a minimum, if he survived, he required complete facial reconstruction.
These half-shells look cool but they do NOTHING…I was forced to wear one in motorcycle patrol as it was uniform protocol but they do NOTHING to protect you….don’t be fooled…you might look “cool” but you’re brain and cognitive functioning is more important than looking “cool.”
You are teaching false doctrine inspired by religious cults. You are made “alive” in Jesus through New Covenant promise of the indwelling Holy Spirit who takes up residence within those who trust in Jesus as their Messiah (Ephesians 1:13-14). Water does NOTHING but get you wet. Water baptism is a work, an act, of obedience to the Great Commission (Matthew 28) that follows salvation by grace (unmerited favor) through faith-belief-trust in Jesus as the One who died for you to provide you blood atonement for your sin (Romans 4:4-5).
Warning: if you enter baptismal waters with the mindset that your action or effort is supplementing the sufficiency of Jesus to atone for your sin, you are not redeemed, you remain in your sin, you are on the broad road to the second death. Water is NOT causative, it can’t atone for sin nor can your human efforts, only the sinless blood of Jesus is accepted by the Father for the remission of sin not your works, not your water.
18 knowing that you were not redeemed with perishable things like silver or gold from your futile way of life inherited from your forefathers, 19 but with precious blood, as of a lamb unblemished and spotless, the blood of Christ.
Those who ride LOUDER than OEM factory installed in violation of CFR 40 Part 205 and applicable state muffler laws duplicating the CFR mandates via the Supremacy Clause; these, dishonor Jesus, the Gospel, the edict to obey the laws of the land. When a biker rides LOUD, they destroy daily quality of life for millions; recklessly endanger the health and welfare of the most vulnerable; illegally enter into places of work, worship, education, recreation. It is so very hypocritical to see a LOUD biker with my Lord’s cross as His colors….hypocrites all.
Concerning those redeemed by faith in Jesus as their Messiah,
Reading Scripture with intent is like programming a computer’s hard drive…what you’re inputting into your mind and heart can be accessed by the indwelling Holy Spirit for use at the proper time, maybe many years down the road…but the information is stored and He is faithful to draw upon it when you need it. Reading the Scriptures, even if you don’t understand same at that time…is invaluable. Neglecting the Scriptures is like an operating system void information, it’s useless.
Sin is defined by the spiritual law (Romans 2:14-15) that has been extant within human kind subsequent Day-6 and the spiritual law is the very same law that judged Satan of covetousness and under girded his extrication from the Kingdom. The spiritual law judged both the Adamic and Noahic generations of defilement and judgement in water LONG before Sinai and Moses.
Torah’s laws, Moses’ laws, are but a mere fraction of the comprehensive spiritual law that will be used to judge the unredeemed and that same law will be extant in the New Jerusalem as free will remains extant there as well; this, by necessity.
Torah will find relevance in the Millennial Kingdom as Jesus will receive the Kingdom denied Him at His First-Advent and a partial return to Law will manifest there as the Age of Grace will have concluded subsequent the “fullness of the Gentiles” having entered the Kingdom (Romans 11:25).
During this current “Age of Grace”…the New Covenant, as established in the blood of Messiah (Matthew 26:27-29), Torah is not in effect (Romans 6:14) but the redeemed in Jesus are under grace and their obedience is through the indwelling Holy Spirit (Ephesians 1:13-14; Romans 7:6) whereby the Spirit produces divine fruit (Galatians 5:16-23) through the redeemed and this fruit fulfills all law; both codified and spiritual (Galatians 5:23) and this fruit actually pleases the Father and proves one to be a disciple of Jesus (John 15:8).
