The Levitical Law, the Commandments and their relevance in the life of a Christian…

The Moral aspects of the Levitical Law and the Law of Conscience (Romans 2:15) will continue in perpetuity as the Law is necessary for the continuation/sustainability of the species and the Law is essential for Judgment in Eternity to manifest with equity and due process (Matthew 24:35).

The problem arises when men and women attempt to find righteousness (a right standing) with God the Father by keeping the Law in perfect obedience when no man or woman can be justified by Law because we’re encumbered with a sin-nature (Romans 3:23) and we cannot keep the righteous requirements of the Law in perfection; therefore, to fail in one jot or tittle of the Law is to fail in all the Law (James 2:10).

This is why Messiah fulfilled the Law for us in perfection (Matthew 5:17); it was Messiah’s perfect obedience to the Law that permitted Him to be the ONLY acceptable sacrifice for sin. We can attain, through the imputation, the perfection of Messiah’s righteousness when we believe with a sincere heart that He is God who died to pay our sin-debt and that He was resurrected from the dead for our justification (2 Corinthians 5:21; Romans 10:9-10).

Therefore, the Law plays an integral role in the life of a Christian as the Law demonstrates the righteousness of God while declaring our need for Jesus Christ as our Mediator for sin (John 14:6; John 3:36; 1 Timothy 2:5).

Knowing God – Rejecting God > The Dichotomy of Time and Eternity

As a student of Apologetics, I have debated the hopelessness of Atheism ad nauseam and a consistent, immutable, theme accompanies and permeates each and every debate; that is, there are those who know God and there are those who cannot know God, why?

God, in His mysterious ways, has decreed that only the heart willing to believe will see His reality and understand His precepts, His Covenants, while the one who refuses to believe will remain blind and lost and deceived (1 Corinthians 2:14). God is a gentleman, He forces Himself upon no one yet remains receptive to anyone willing to internalize the empirical evidence in Nature that testifies of His power, dominion, sovereignty; He remains receptive to anyone willing to internalize His written word and believe; He remains receptive to anyone willing to receive His Living Word, Jesus Christ (John 3:16), but He hardens those who reject Him by denying the call of His Spirit and denying the empirical evidence in Nature as testimony of His reality (Romans 1:18-32; Hebrews 11:6). The repeated rejection of God’s call upon one’s life results in an incremental fall into spiritual blindness, debasement, debauchery, hopelessness, addiction, perversion, death of the mind, body, soul (Romans 1:18-32).

This mystery is irrefutably obvious in the life of the Atheist, the Nihilist, the Naturalist, that is unable to see the beauty and love of God and experience the supernatural life He infuses into the one willing to “believe” (2 Corinthians 4:4). A dichotomy for the ages that is played-out before my eyes and it is a beautiful thing to see the holiness and justice and righteousness of the God who lives within me displayed in the World that surrounds me.

The God who died for me cries-out to His creation and desires to gather us under His wings like a hen gathers her chicks but “many” reject the love and call of God and my God, in His unfathomable sovereignty and justice and holiness, regrettably allows the “many” to pursue the death they so stubbornly desire as free will remains inextricably linked to love and relationship.

“Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, the way a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were unwilling.” Matthew 23:37 (NASB)

“Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.” Matthew 7:13-14 (NKJV)

“There are honest doubters and dishonest doubters. An honest doubter is willing to search out the truth and live by the results; a dishonest doubter doesn’t want to know the truth. He can’t find God for the same reason a thief can’t find a policeman.” Adrian Rogers

Theological, Christian heresy: “God is not a Person, or God would be Created!”

Christian response to the heresy of Gnosticism…

The ugly snake of Gnosticism raises its viperous head once again denying the hypostatic union of God and man in Jesus Christ-Yeshua. God is Spirit (John 4:24) and in order to fulfill His will among mankind concerning the defeat of Satan (1 John 3:8b) and the reconciliation between Himself and His creation in Time (2 Corinthians 5:18), God manifest in flesh (Philippians 2:5-8) through the womb of a virgin woman, born under the Law (Galatians 4:4) approximately 2019-yrs ago and walked among us for 33.5-yrs defining God the Father and proclaiming the Good News of the Gospel that provides victory over Satan, death, Hell and the grave for everyone who believes that Jesus Christ is God who died to pay their sin-debt and was resurrected from the dead for their justification (Romans 10:9-10; Luke 4:18; John 3:16).

If you reject the deity of Jesus Christ, you will die in your sin and you will die the “second death” in Hell (John 8:24; Rev. 20:11-15). The tell-tale indicator that one has truly been “born again” by the Spirit of God is their ability to recognize Jesus Christ and His deity and His Truth as it is the Spirit that testifies with our spirit that we are indeed children of God (Matthew 16:17; Romans 8:16). It is one’s ability via the rebirth by grace through faith in Messiah to see and internalize the deity of Jesus Christ-Yeshua that defines and separates the Christian from the religions, sects, cults, of the World.

It is written concerning Jesus Christ as God…

“Who is the liar but the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, the one who denies the Father and the Son.” 1 John 2:22 (NASB)

“…looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus,” Titus 2:13 (NASB)

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being.” John 1:1-3 (NASB)

14 “And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.” John 1:14 (NASB)

“He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. 17 And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist. 18 And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence.” Colossians 1:15-18 (NKJV)

Liberal-Fascist-Atheistic logic: “Can someone explain to me why the same people who don’t need to wear a mask because God will look after them also need an AR-15 because God won’t?

Christian Patriot response…

Because this virus, COVID-19, has been and continues to be hyped via a globalist-socialist agenda for power and control over the masses while the Progressive-Socialist-Democrat seeks to annul our Bill of Rights and infuse their version of “Democratic Socialism” (actually another form of deadly Leninism – Marxism) and the Progressive Democrat is an enemy of the State; a traitor to the American people; a traitor to American men and women who fought and died battling socialism-communism; a traitor to our Constitutional Republic; therefore, when they, Progressive “useful idiots” come to place their socialistic boot on the neck of the Patriot, the Patriot will fight to the death; hence, the necessity for the AR-15, AR-10, AK-47, M1911, Glock and stockpiles of ammunition and supplies. Know your enemy and act accordingly with wisdom and discernment.
