Atheist stated: “Religion Has Made A Lot Of Adults Believe A Woman Being Tricked To Eat An Apple Caused All The World Problems.”
The Holy Spirit never said that Eve ate of an “apple” but that she disobeyed what her husband had told her. It is Adam that actually disobeyed Elohim as Adam received the edict to NOT compromise with evil DIRECTLY from Elohim while Eve received the instruction from her husband – hearsay. This is why the seed of man passes the sin-curse to every generation (Romans 5:12) and this is why Elohim proclaimed that the Messiah would enter the Realm of Time via the “seed of the woman” (Genesis 3:15). In Adam all die, not Eve. Adam incurred the greater culpability due his disobedience to an edict given him directly from Elohim whereas Eve disobeyed or neglected what her husband told her.
But now Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. 21 For since by man came death, by Man also came the resurrection of the dead. 22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive.
So many well intentioned men and women fail to understand the simplicity of New Covenant grace and how Elohim the Father has structured obedience in the New Covenant; this, not through striving after letters, laws, diets, feasts, traditions (Romans 6:14) but walking in unison with the indwelling Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:16; Romans 7:6) who produces divine fruit through the redeemed in Jesus (Galatians 5:16-23) and that fruit fulfills the intent of ALL moral law (Galatians 5:23); that divine fruit actually pleases the Father; that fruit proves one to be a faithful disciple of Jesus (John 15:8).
Truly, I do believe that the obsession with law keeping is under girded by man’s inability to fundamentally accept the divine gift of grace (unmerited favor – a divine gift of forgiveness that cannot be earned) through faith (trusting in Jesus as Messiah) as mankind’s ego insists that one must do something, perform a work, in order to please Elohim (Ephesians 2:8-9; Romans 4:4-5; Galatians 2:16); this, when all Elohim the Father desires is that human kind “believe” in the Son (John 6:29) and humbly walk daily by the Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:16) in sanctification and allow the Spirit to do HIS work through them (John 15:8); this, trusting in the “work” Jesus performed at Golgotha. Jesus clearly said, “You will know them by their fruit” (Matthew 7:16) and NOT by their law-keeping (Matthew 7:21-23). Why is this so difficult to understand for far too many?
In closing, the Commandments of Sinai, the Laws of Moses, the divine Spiritual Law (Romans 2:14-15) are NOT the focus of the New Covenant as the Law Giver in the Covenant of Grace is the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 1:13-14) and the intent, the elements, of all LAW is honored through the Spirit’s production of divine fruit through the redeemed in Jesus as the Spirit directs the redeemed conscience, the “new creation” (2 Corinthians 5:17), in the Path of Righteousness and Obedience via the production of that divine fruit (Galatians 5:16-23). In the New Covenant, we serve the Holy Spirit, not Moses!
Why did a war break-out in the Heavenly Kingdom? (Revelation 12)
Because “free will” is extant in the Spiritual Realm as it is in the “Physical Realm.” Satan’s rebellion is causation for the Creation Narrative…all that we’re experiencing in the spiritual war raging-on around us is acting as a bulwark against future rebellion in the New Jerusalem where “free will” will be extant by necessity.
This is why war between Jesus and Satan was first declared in Genesis 3:15 and the battle strategy, the Gospel, was first proclaimed in Genesis 3:21. Jesus entered Time specifically to defeat the works of Satan (death-Hell-the grave) at Golgotha. The entirety of Scripture surrounds and supports the victory of Elohim over the Evil One; this, for the benefit of Elohim’s divine relationship with the angelic creation that remained faithful in the Great Rebellion.
Innocent substitute. Replaced fig leave of human righteousness.
Question was asked: “If religion disappears tomorrow, will you still be a good person?
Christian response,
“goodness” is a response to the Holy Spirit’s anointing and the Holy Spirit does not deal with “religion” but He is a New Covenant promise to the one who believes that Jesus is Messiah who died for them.
Religion is based on working or striving, personal effort, to be sufficiently good to earn a “gods” favor…Christianity is the realization that man is sinful and can never be sufficiently “good” to earn forgiveness from God. Christianity teaches that only by trusting in a “good” God can one find life through faith in Jesus. Jesus is the only “Way” to the Father (John 14:6) and forgiveness of sin (1 Peter 1:18-19; Acts 4:12).
In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory.Now to the one who works, his wage is not credited as a favor, but as what is due. 5 But to the one who does not work, but believes in Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited as righteousness,
A contributor said: “This will bother the MANY, but the FEW know it’s TRUE, when we remove Paul’s epistles from the NT, we have the True, Words from God spoken thru His Son, Jesus the Christ.“
Response to the apostate,
It is Satan’s fool that calls our Lord a liar and denies the omnipotence of the precious Holy Spirit who has provided you the EXACT words in the Canon that He desires you have so that you can know Elohim personally, love Him intimately, live with Him eternally. Do you not think that the very same Creator who fashioned your genome and set the Sun and Moon in the Heavens is perfectly capable of providing you His Truth in written form?
Paul’s words are the will of the Spirit and when you place yourself in the lofty position of choosing what and whom you’ll believe in the Canon how can you then trust anything? Why is Paul inferior to Moses? Are the words of Jesus authentic or did the Apostles skew them for personal gain? You serve Satan when you cast doubt upon the integrity of the Scriptures that are provide you by our omnipotent Elohim!
I have never heard anyone born again by faith in Jesus say they pursue disobedience because of grace. I will say that letters, commandments, days, diets, traditions, feasts, are not the objective of the Christian life (Romans 6:14) but that obedience in the New Covenant is manifest through the anointing of the indwelling Holy Spirit (Ephesians 1:13-14; Galatians 5:16) who produces divine “fruit” through the redeemed and this fruit honors the father, fulfills all law and proves one to be a disciple of Jesus (Galatians 5:16-23; John 15:8). Keeping letters, concerning one’s self with Torah is not the objective of New Covenant relationship.
Marxism is here as is Islamism and Progressivism and Communism…their representatives are in our House and Senate. America is dying the methodical death of non-assimilating illegal immigration…this is a divine curse upon the American people in response to the mutilation of 66-million babies by their mother’s subsequent Roe…our land is cursed by the blood of innocence and the tell-tale sign of that curse is rampant and celebrated LGBTQ perversion in our streets.
America was founded as a Constitutional Republic that honored Jesus as our Messiah…it is now a land polluted by brain washed socialist youth and sexual perverts, abortion advocates, the addicted, the demonic, who are godless and vile and destructive. Elohim (Genesis 1:1) hates hands that shed innocent blood (Proverbs 6:17). America’s demise by divine judgment is justified. Maranatha Lord!
Elohim (Genesis 1:1) has proven His existence through what He has created and placed before our eyes, man simply refuses to believe because man chooses a life of moral relativism and eschews the sovereignty and authority of our Creator. Man loves immorality more than righteousness…they are “without excuse.”
In the New Covenant, no longer is the condemnation of sin (1 Peter 1:9; Romans 8 ) the master over the man or woman who has trusted in Jesus as Messiah (Romans 6:14). The Law (both codified and spiritual) that condemned them (James 2:10) has been fulfilled by Messiah Jesus and having trusted in Jesus as Savior by faith, the perfection and righteousness of Jesus via His blood atonement (1 Peter 1:18-19) has been gifted-imputed over their life, eternally, (2 Corinthians 5:21) through grace (unmerited favor they could never earn-a divine gift) by the Father who, by New Covenant promise, declares them “not guilty” (Hebrews 8:12). Elohim the Father declares by New Covenant promise that the one who trusts-believes in the Son, Jesus, as Messiah is forgiven of sin, past-present-future, eternally.
As a conservative Christian, I’m not surprised by the stupidity and wickedness of a majority of America’s citizenry who voted for Satan-Islam-Marxism in the 2026 Midterms. I know what my Creator, Jesus our Messiah, has said concerning eschatology and the signs of the last days prior to His 2nd-Advent. It is true that Israel will be abandoned by all allies and left alone to fend for itself against the “Axis of Evil;” namely, Russia-China-Iran/Islamic radicals. It is true that this scenario will come to pass as “in that Day” Israel will have no one to come to its defense but Yeshua, Himself. A limited nuclear war will be initiated as defined and pictured in Messiah’s revelation to the Apostle John on the Island of Patmos in 90AD. America, prefacing the Tribulation Era, will have been so comprised by demonic evil that the United States will have become essentially impotent militarily, monetarily, ethically, morally, thus unable to intervene on Israel’s behalf. America’s whoredom with Satan on 11-3-26 is but one incremental step toward America’s demise with eschatological underpinnings. Maranatha LORD!
Concerning the godless, stupid, people who voted for Satan on 11-3-26, you will surely reap what you have sown and my only regret is that my beautiful Grandson will have to suffer due to your wickedness and your demonically rooted insanity. You traitors of America who voted for Democrats-Progressives-Communists/Marxists-Islamists; sexual perverts/LGBTQ/mutilation of children’s genitals via sexual reassignment surgeries; abortionists (murdering babies up to the ninth month in their mother’s womb); open borders; impotent law enforcement and impotent judiciaries; men in women’s sports and locker rooms; socialized medicine, I loathe you beyond comprehension, you are demonically compromised evil.
On the other hand, I am eternally grateful to my Creator, Jesus my Messiah, for allowing me to know Him and love Him as a member of His family through faith. I am eternally grateful to my Creator, Jesus my Messiah, for allowing me to mature in an America where I was truly free, a child unencumbered by fears of criminality/abuse, free to grow and mature with parents who loved Jesus, neighbors who loved Jesus and respected one another, the incredible feeling of joy and peace and happiness in 1950’s-1960’s America. I am blessed beyond comprehension. Thank you LORD, I love you!!!
Though America’s is going to Hell and will suffer immensely due to its compromise with Satan, I am eternally grateful to Jesus, the Holy Spirit, my Heavenly Father, for everlasting HOPE as this World is NOT my home (Hebrews 13:14). My HOPE is in Jesus as Messiah, the precious Holy Spirit as “a friend that sticks closer than a brother” (Proverbs 18:24). Maranatha LORD!!!
