An eternal error/misunderstanding of “begotten” as it refers to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ: “The word “BEGOTTEN” is a function of lower animal of sex. How can someone attribute such function of lower animal of sex to God?”

Christian response,

“only begotten” (monogenés) (John 3:16) is used to express the unique, only one of its kind, person of Jesus Christ and His relationship with the Father as Jesus is the EXACT representation of our God in flesh as God is a Spirit (John 4:24). Jesus is the embodiment of our Creator (John 1; Hebrews 1; Colossians 1) and He appeared within the realm of Time “to destroy the works of the Devil” (1 John 3:8b) as all of human kind are players/participants in an unfathomable cosmic struggle that manifest in the Kingdom of God before the beginning of Time; in fact, it is this cosmic struggle between good and evil within the Kingdom, where nothing impure is permitted to enter (Rev 21:27), that initiated the development of interactive “matter” taken from elements in the unseen Spiritual Realm and those elements were formed into matter that can be apprehended by life constrained by Time and physics (Hebrews 11:3).

It was essential that our God take the form/flesh of human kind through the hypostatic union (Philippians 2) and defeat the Devil apart from the Kingdom (for the sake of the Kingdom) and this was first prophesied in Genesis 3:15, the battle strategy for Messiah’s victory was pictured in Genesis 3:21 and the fruition of said strategy was announced/proclaimed as completed with the words “It is finished” (or “completed”) at Golgotha (John 19:30). Jesus is the exact representation of our God who is Spirit (Colossians 1:15-18). Jesus is our Warrior, Messiah, Mediator, Judge and appeared within the Realm of Time to destroy the works of the Devil (1 John 3:8b), the works of evil and display God’s selfless love through the Cross; this display of power/omnipotence through selfless love was essential in maintaining volitional love with the faithful angelic creation that did not follow Satan in the rebellion.

Jesus told us that His Kingdom is not of this World as Jesus is the unique, the one and only, Son of God having manifest in flesh for a specific purpose and cause far beyond human intellect yet the Holy Spirit teaches/reveals these things to those who truly love God and desire to know Him (1 John 2:27).

Law Keeper falsely accuses Christians:“Jesus STATED: ‘I did not come to Abolish, Nulify, Void, Replace, Remove the Torah!’ So why [are] some of you lying about me?” Matthew 5:17-19

Christian response to the Law Keeper living in hopelessness and bondage,

Jesus came to destroy the works of the Devil by fulfilling the Torah (1 John 3:8b; Matthew 5:17) and He is the only One (via the hypostatic union of God and man – Philippians 2:6-11) who could do so and it is through and by His fulfillment of the Torah that He made Himself the ONLY sinless, acceptable, sacrifice for your sin (2 Corinthians 5:21).

The Law only condemned mankind void atonement (Romans 3:20;) but Jesus did for us what the Law could not do (Romans 8:1-11) as Jesus conquered the Law’s condemnation by keeping it in mandated perfection (James 2:10; Galatians 3:10) and Jesus offers you His perfection, His righteousness, when you trust in Him, alone, as your Lord and Messiah who died to pay your sin-debt (2 Corinthians 5:21). Jesus did this for you because you are under the condemnation of sin as you are sinner (Romans 3:23) and the Law only defines your culpability void hope of redemption (Romans 3:20).

The New Covenant established in Messiah’s blood (Matthew 26:28) is NOT about LAW KEEPING; the New Covenant is completely about freedom from Law’s condemnation, it’s about love, joy, peace, enjoyed via a “relationship” with God the Father by faith in what Jesus did for you at the Cross (John 3:16-18) and thereby receiving Messiah’s righteousness imputed into and over your life, forever, and then walking daily in sanctification; that is, obedience to the Holy Spirit who takes-up residence within you (Ephesians 1:13-14; John 14:16) and brings to your memory all that Jesus taught (John 14:26) as the Law of Messiah is written upon your heart (Hebrews 10:16) and administered by the Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:16); it is the Spirit that keeps you intimately close to the Father and prepares you for service in the New Jerusalem.

The Torah, concerning righteousness, offers nothing but culpability and condemnation (Romans 3:20) while Jesus offers freedom, life, peace, joy, redemption, through faith in Him as Messiah and the Holy Spirit as your Guarantor of relationship with the Father, forever (Matthew 11:28; Ephesians 1:13-14).

Jesus said,

“27 All things have been entrusted to Me by My Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal Him. 28 Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me; for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls”.… Matthew 11:27-29

Why Sunday and not Saturday in the New Covenant?

The First-Century Church set the precedent for Sunday worship as God separated Light from darkness on the First-Day; Jesus was raised from the dead by the Spirit on the First-Day; the Holy Spirit initiated the New Covenant Church on the First-Day at Pentecost; the New Covenant is superior to the Old, it’s NEW and mandated a separation from that which is Old and could never provide salvation, only condemnation (Romans 3:20).

6 Now, however, Jesus has received a much more excellent ministry, just as the covenant He mediates is better and is founded on better promises. 7 For if that first covenant had been without fault, no place would have been sought for a second. Hebrews 8

Jewish woman wants to know: What’s the problem with the Torah, it’s sweet as honey?

The problem is R—…the Law is used by many in an attempt to attain righteousness (a right standing) with the Father…a works salvation by attempting to keep a Law that has already condemned them (Galatians 3:10; James 2:10; Romans 3:20); the problem is R—, anyone who seeks righteousness through Law is condemned and cursed and Elohim first demonstrated this by rejecting Adam’s attempt to cover and conceal His shame and sin with fig-leaves as far back as Genesis 3:21.

This very same problem is practiced by Jacob’s children to the is very day and this, in combination with their rejection/murder of the their Messiah, is why only the remnant of Israel will avoid the “second death” in Hell (Romans 9:27). The Law given the Hebrew Tribes was never meant to save anyone but it simply defined God’s holiness and pointed the Hebrew tribes to their need for an Intercessor; the Law was a schoolmaster or tutor for the children of Jacob (Galatians 3:24-26)…nothing more, nothing less as the moral law has been extant since the creation of the angels; the Torah is simply codification of the moral law that has governed the Adamic generation forward to this very day. R—, the New Covenant is NOT about the Torah…it’s about intimate relationship with God the Father by grace through faith in Jesus Christ as our Messiah and Mediator for our sin and receiving the Holy Spirit and walking in peace and grace and mercy with our God via the Spirit via sanctification.

Your obsession with Law is baseless and does NOTHING for you but enslave you to a standard you cannot keep as you’re a sinner and the Law requires perfection if righteousness is to be attained through it (James 2:10; Romans 3:23). If you seek God’s acceptance by trying to keep the Torah…you will die in sin and die in Hell (John 8:24).

The Purpose of/for God’s Moral Law,

The Law was given with the creation of the angels as free will required a bulwark, a standard, by which the living, all created beings, could survive in community and life be sustained with order and peace. The Law defines God’s holiness and His righteous requirements. The moral law was extant before the beginning of Time and accused the Devil of covetousness and motivated his extrication from God’s Kingdom and initiated the creation of matter, Time, the Heavens and the Earth, our genome; these, as a repository and method of dealing with sin apart from the Kingdom where nothing impure is permitted to exist (Rev 21:27); in fact, the primary reason the Son of God appeared within the Realm of Time was to destroy the works of the Devil (1 John 3:b).

The moral Law is NOTHING new; the Torah is NEW as it was given to a specific people for a specific dispensation to codify God’s righteous requirements and prepare the way for Messiah. As a Christian, I am not under Law but under Grace in my Lord Jesus. If you desire to be under Law…that’s your prerogative but the Law will not provide you righteousness (a right standing) with God the Father as you are a sinner (Romans 3:23) and the Law only defines your sin void atonement (Romans 3:20). Righteousness with the Father will ONLY manifest by grace (a gift you cannot earn) through faith (trusting-believing) in Jesus as your Messiah who died to pay your sin-debt; again, those who have trusted in Jesus as Lord are not under Law but under God’s grace and these alone will enter the Kingdom of God.

God’s plan and purpose relevant to the Torah, the Sabbath, in the New Covenant,

Nothing about the Law or ordinances or dietary mandates or days or festivals wins favor or righteousness with God the Father…these were a shadow of the Messiah that was to come (Colossians 2:16). When Jesus entered Time, His primary goal was to destroy the works of the Devil (1 John 3:8b) and provide victory over sin, death, Hell, the grave, through grace and faith for those who believe in Him as Messiah. Also, Jesus came to free mankind from an arduous and condemnative Law that defined culpability void atonement (Romans 3:20; Galatians 3:10).

The Law of the Covenant, the Torah, was a sign-post indicating mankind’s inability to please a Holy and Righteous God through works and self-righteousness as this was first demonstrated in Genesis 3:21 via the fig leaves used in an futile attempt to mask sin. In the New Covenant, the primary focus is upon “relationship”…not Law or days or ordinances or diet…but love and intimacy with God the Father by grace through faith in Jesus as Lord and receiving the indwelling Holy Spirit as the SEAL and Guarantor of that relationship, forever.

The New Covenant is about a Sabbath fulfilled in Jesus as our REST and our PEACE through the Spirit. The Law in the New Covenant is for the defiled and defines their culpability before God while God’s desire for His children in the New Covenant is intimacy/relationship with Him through sanctification via the Holy Spirit given to all who believe in Jesus as Messiah > the One who suffered and died to pay our sin-debt – a debt we could not pay ourselves.

Concerning the Deity of Jesus Christ and what it means to you…

God is from everlasting to everlasting (Psalm 90:2) and the everlasting God left t the eternal realm and entered the realm of Time through the virgin seed (Genesis 3:15) as the “only begotten” God (John 3:16) to destroy the works of the Devil (1 John 3:8b) via the Gospel that was ordained “before the beginning of Time” (2 Timothy 1:9-10). The deity of Jesus as the Son of God is essential for your salvation as only God could keep the Law in perfection (2 Corinthians 5:21), successfully destroy the works of the Devil and offer Himself as a sacrifice for sin (Genesis 3:21; John 14:6).

God the Father speaks of the Son in this way, Hebrews 1…

8 But regarding the Son He says,“Your throne, God, is forever and ever,And the scepter of righteousness is the scepter of His kingdom.9 You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness;Therefore God, Your God, has anointed You With the oil of joy above Your companions.”10 And,“You, Lord, in the beginning laid the foundation of the earth,And the heavens are the works of Your hands;11 They will perish, but You remain; And they all will wear out like a garment,12 And like a robe You will roll them up; Like a garment they will also be changed.But You are the same,And Your years will not come to an end.”

Jesus tells us that His Kingdom is not of the Realm of Time,

Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would be fighting so that I would not be handed over to the Jews; but as it is, My kingdom is not of this realm.” John 18:36 (NASB)

Are those who walk in the Law of the Lord truly blessed? “How blessed are those whose way is blameless, Who walk in the law of the Lord.” Psalm 119:1

Christian response,

There are NO undefiled/blameless that walk in the Law as we’re all sinners and condemned by the Law (Romans 3:20-23). The only undefiled/blameless in the eyes of God the Father are those who have trusted in the perfection of Jesus Christ and received the imputation of His righteousness in their life by grace through faith in Him as Lord and Messiah who died to pay their sin-debt (John 3:16-18; 2 Corinthians 5:21). If you trust in Law, you will die in Law and sin and Hell as you live under a curse (Galatians 3:10).

What is God’s will for your life?

The Law Keepers and Cult members who prowl these pages seeking a soul to devour in slavery to Law and days and rituals and religious affiliations are the blind and deaf; religious hypocrites who gag at a gnat and swallow a camel; those who point your soul to Hell with sincerity.

What is God’s Plan and His will for you in the New Covenant of Grace?

When one is born again by faith in Jesus as Messiah who died to pay our sin-debt, that person walks in sanctification as administered by the Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:16); that person seeks Messiah’s “Commands” as these teachings are written upon our heart in the New Covenant (Hebrews 10:16) and brought to our remembrance by the Spirit who prepares us for service in the coming Kingdom (John 14:26).

Relationship,

The Plan of God in the New Covenant has NOTHING to do with Temples – LAW – rituals – race – creed – color – talents – beauty – intelligence – education – denominational affiliation – what you wear – what you eat – your lineage – a day of the week. God’s Plan has everything to do with trusting in our Heavenly Father to do exactly what He has promised and to love Him in and through faith in Jesus Christ and through obedience to His Spirit – a Covenant RELATIONSHIP that will grow in intimacy for eternity.

This is our God’s Plan for you and for me and that Plan was initiated before Time began and has been fulfilled in Jesus Christ our Lord via the Gospel established in Messiah’s blood (2 Timothy 1:8-10; Matthew 26:28). Don’t let the demonically rooted Pharisaical legalism inundating these pages steal your joy and peace in Messiah Jesus; enjoy relationship with our God; trust in Jesus Christ and live in peace and Joy through the indwelling Holy Spirit; allow the Law Keepers and cult members to go to Hell if they desire, don’t follow them; follow Jesus and the Holy Spirit, exclusively – and LIVE!

Why do Christians ask for forgiveness?

An individual who has chosen death in Hell having rejected Jesus as Mediator for their sin mocks the Christian in this way: “Christianity is a religion where someone’s sins are forgiven by blood yet they repent by continuously reciting Matthew 6:9-13, always! If it’s not so? Why then are you asking for forgiveness if you are forgiven by blood?”

Christian response,

A Christian asks forgiveness when they insult our God via disobedience NOT because we fear losing our salvation as that is secure by Covenant via the Holy Spirit, forever. The Christian apologizes to God for the same reason we apologize to our loved-ones in this Realm of Time…our family, our friends, we have wronged or insulted; we apologize because we love them and we want NOTHING interfering with the intimacy between us.

For the Christian, the most precious thing in this life is our relationship with our Heavenly Father, Jesus our Lord, the precious Holy Spirit; so then, when we insult the One we love, we apologize out of love and respect for their sacrifice for us…we want to maintain intimacy, love, respect, genuine friendship in relationship, forever.

The unbeliever considers this foolishness; the faithful understand that there is no joy or peace unless we’re right with our God positionally, eternally, intimately.
