How can one claim to be a Christian and not follow the Law?

Religion - Christianity, , , ,
Question was asked: “How can one claim to be a Christian if they don’t obey the Law? Their religion is useless.”

If you’ve been redeemed by faith in Jesus (John 3) you have received the indwelling Holy Spirit as Guarantor of that New Covenant relationship with the Father (Ephesians 1:13-14) and it is the indwelling Spirit that employs the redeemed conscience of the faithful (2 Corinthians 5:17) and combines that redeemed conscience with the spiritual law written upon the heart (Romans 2:14-15; Romans 8:2) and the Spirit then produces fruits of righteousness (Galatians 5) through the redeemed believer and this fruit fulfills all law; in fact, there are no laws against the “fruit of the Spirit.” Jesus said “You will know them by their fruit” (Matthew 7:15-20).

If one desires to live a life that is pleasing to the Father, they must first comply with the Father’s will by faith in Jesus as their Messiah (John 6:29) and live by the Spirit, daily, as the Holy Spirit methodically and patiently prepares them for service in the New Jerusalem (Galatians 5:16).

Law is relevant in the New Covenant but that law is not etched in stone or scratched upon parchment but the Christian lives by the “law of the Spirit of life” and NOT “the law of sin and death” (Romans 8:2).

What is the Spiritual Law?

What is the Spiritual Law?

The spiritual law AKA “the law of the Spirit of life” (Romans 2:14-15; Romans 8:2) is that law which has been relevant subsequent the creation of the angels as the spiritual law is Elohim’s arbiter of free will.

The spiritual law was infused within the human genome on Day-6 as human kind was created in the spiritual image of Elohim possessing certain divine communicable attributes of Elohim, one of those communicable attributes being the spiritual law essential as a bulwark against societal extinction by buffering unrestrained narcissism.

It is the spiritual law that judged the Adamic and Noahic generations of wickedness, vileness, worthy of death by water save eight (Genesis 6).

That same spiritual law is the root of the Code of Hammurabi and foundational to the Sinai Commandments. Torah Law is nothing new or novel but simply a fragmented codification of the spiritual law given specifically to Jacob’s children and sojourners with them for the eschatological purposes of sanctification, a setting apart from demonically rooted paganism that inundated the Tribes, demonic paganism – the worship of pagan gods (Baal – Molech) that relentlessly sought Israel’s compromise; demonic compromise that would have thwarted Elohim’s eschatological plan concerning the Messiah who was destined to enter the Realm of Time via the Tribe of Judah in order “to destroy the works of the devil” (1 John 3:8b) via a battle strategy known as “The Gospel” which was ordained “before Time began” (2 Timothy 1:8-10).

That same spiritual law is employed by the indwelling Holy Spirit in the New Covenant (Ephesians 1:13-14; 1 John 2:27) to guide the redeemed conscience of the faithful in Jesus (2 Corinthians 5:17; Galatians 5:16)) during sanctification where the Spirit produces fruits of righteousness through the redeemed; fruit, against which there is no law (Galatians 5; Matthew 7:15-20).

That same spiritual law will judge the condemned and their works at the Great White Throne Judgment (Revelation 20:11-15) and that same spiritual law will remain relevant throughout Eternity as free will is extant in the New Jerusalem by necessity.

Concerning antisemitism and the divine eschatological imperative regarding the Nation of Israel…a response

Uncategorized, , , , , , , , , , ,
Concerning the spiritual ignorance, the spiritual darkness, that under girds antisemitism and the divine conveyance, the eschatological imperative, relevant to the Nation of Israel, its existence within the Realm of Time…a response…

In the Biblical Wars, the spoils of war go to the victor…those defeated had no rights…they were slaves-indentured servants or ostracized or deceased. Considering the truism that Elohim is omniscient, it is logical and reasonable to conclude that the Land known as “Israel” was foreordained as the property of the Jew before Time began. There was no Palestine until the Roman occupation of Israel who named Israel’s property as “Palestine” to offend the Jewish people who loathed the Philistines. Yasser Arafat, a demon possessed Chairman of the Palestinian Liberation Organization, popularized the name of “Palestine” for propaganda purposes.

Elohim’s unconditional covenant with Abraham and the Land of Israel,

As I have written recently, the “unconditional covenant” that Elohim made with Abraham concerning the Land of Israel (Genesis 13) is concerning property rights guaranteed by Divine Authority and the current spiritual condition of the inhabitants (the secularized Jew) is wholly irrelevant as the Land itself is of supreme eschatological relevance, geographical relevance, and the Land of Israel will remain in custody of the Jew prefacing the Tribulation and throughout the Millennial Kingdom.

Israel and the Tribulation,

Also relevant is the truism that Elohim will destroy the enemies of Israel (Russia-China-Iran/Islam) and redeem a “remnant” of Jacob’s seed during the Tribulation Era and this redeemed seed will accompany Yeshua into His Millennial Kingdom and faithfully serve Him there (Isaiah 10:22; Romans 9:27). Elohim’s glorification of Israel’s Land and the redeemed remnant is NOT for Israel’s glory but for the glory of Elohim in the presence of His faithful angelic creation – an eschatological imperative concerning the defeat of Satan and restoration of holiness and peace to the Eternal Kingdom, holiness and peace defiled by a rebellious cherub angel.

Israel and genocide?

Israel is NOT committing genocide, Islam, the servant of Satan, is guilty of genocide and the United Nations, their antisemitic opinion, is wholly irrelevant. HAMAS violated “international laws” and “warfare protocol” and “moral laws and ethics” and the Palestinians are complicit and culpable as they, with volition and vote, chose HAMAS as their governing authority.

What is Islam? Ishmael v. Isaac

Islam is demonically rooted, a religion of death. Islam’s Allah is Satan masquerading as an angel of light via the Arabic moon god (2 Corinthians 11:14). Muhammad is a demon possessed product of Ishmael (the Ishmaelites) who was born via adultery between Abraham and Hagar. Ishmael is NOT the son of promise but only Isaac is the son of promise through Abraham as Abraham’s “only begotten son” (Genesis 22:2-18; Genesis 25:5-6).

Who is Muhammad?

Muhammad is a 7th-Century demon possessed, murdering, thieving, pedophile who plagiarized the Torah to construct the Quran in hopes of convincing the Jews in Media to follow his new “religion.” Muhammad is the progenitor of the Islamic Caliphate who murdered and raped and pillaged in the name of Allah and this demonic behavior continues to this very day; therefore, when you support these demons of Islam, you cast a dark shadow on your soul and highlight your lack of wisdom in this matter; in fact, you make yourself an enemy of Elohim irrespective of your spiritual ignorance evidenced by your prejudice against the Jewish people and their Divine Right to occupy the Land of Israel (Matthew 12:30; Genesis 12:3; Genesis 25:5); tragically, you are warring against Elohim’s divine eschatological will.

Israel v. Islam/Iran – the spiritual war that identifies and differentiates Light from Darkness…

Israel-Christianity & Islam, the spiritual war that identifies and differentiates Light from Darkness…

The free will choice of servitude to Elohim or enslavement to Satan has been exponentially magnified by the current war between Israel and HAMAS/Palestine/Iran.

Those who support Israel and Israel’s right to exist as a democratic Nation in the Middle East possess a heart that seeks the Truth of Scripture as they honor the Author of Scripture, Elohim.

Those who support Islam are enslaved to Allah AKA the Devil and they are his servants (John 8:44).

Those who obfuscate and claim a position of neutrality honor Allah, the Devil, as well (Matthew 12:30).

Thank you Elohim for this irrefutable clarification.

Hell: Spiritual or Physical or both?

Religion - Christianity, , , ,
Hell – the Lake of Fire – Gehenna – Valley of Hinnom; Spiritual or Physical or both? What can we garner from Scripture?

Currently, the region of Hell is spiritual, existing in the Spiritual Realm, as it was created for Satan and the fallen angels (Matthew 25:41) and only the most vile of demons are interned there at this juncture in Elohim’s eschatological plan; this, as a result of their deception, their unconscionable defilement, within the Adamic and Noahic generations that ultimately led to the extinction of humanity by water save eight (Jude 1:6).

It is important to note that the physical Hell AKA the Lake of Fire, manifesting in the Physical Realm subsequent Messiah’s Millennial Kingdom, is not relevant for humanity until subsequent the Judgment of the Condemned (Revelation 20:11-15). Currently, all unrighteous dead from the Adamic generation forward who are not redeemed by faith and have died in body are interned in Sheol/Hades-Torments (Luke 16), a spiritual internment within the Spiritual Realm, awaiting the “resurrection of the condemned” and the final Judgment before Jesus Christ (John 5:28-29). These unrighteous condemned possess total situational awareness, they are fully cognizant of their surroundings in Sheol/Hades and are in torment due their defilement and rejection of Elohim. These defiled who rejected covenant with Elohim by faith will be resurrected in a body of corruption and stand before Jesus for adjudication concerning works done in body within the constraints of Time; this judgment will manifest immediately subsequent Messiah’s Millennial Reign (Revelation 20:11-15).

A physical Hell, the Lake of Fire, often compared to the fire of Gehenna (Valley of Hinnom), will manifest in the physical Realm of Time subsequent the Millennial Reign of Messiah as the “Judgment of the Condemned” (Revelation 20:10-15) will run concurrently with the destruction of the Earth and the Heavens by fire…this will be the “second death” for all whose names are absent the Lamb’s Book of Life…they will be dissolved in fervent heat, consumed in fire and their death will be the “second death”…an eternal death as the Earth is purified by fire and remolded, restructured, into the New Earth and a New Heaven which will be foundational for the Heavenly City, the New Jerusalem (Revelation 20-21-22).

The Spiritual Hell and the Physical Hell,

The Lake of Fire within the Spiritual Realm will be eternal for Satan and his angels as they are spirit and they will not die (Revelation 20:10; Luke 20:36); therefore, the “Hell” of the Spiritual Realm will be eternal suffering; the Lake of Fire for rebellious humanity, the Physical Hell, will be the fire of purification concerning the old Earth and the old Heavens dissolved by unconscionable heat…this is the second death and these will be as if they never existed; this, due our Lord’s mandate that “nothing impure will ever enter” His Kingdom (Revelation 21:27).

In closing,

It is only the purity, the sinless perfection, of Jesus Christ gifted – imputed into our life by grace through faith in Jesus as our Messiah that opens the Door to the Kingdom (John 10:9-16) as only the sinless purity of Jesus over our lives by faith initiates eternal covenant with the Father that results in covenant promise of forgiveness of sin (John 3; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Hebrews 8:12); therefore, without Jesus as our Intercessor before the Father and the indwelling Holy Spirit as Guarantor of covenant, there is no hope, only Hell, the second death, nihilism, awaits (Ephesians 1:13-14; Acts 4:12).

2 Peter 3: The day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up… the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be dissolved, being on fire, and the elements will melt with fervent heat?

Israel v. Iran/Islam and “Conditional” v. “Unconditional” Covenants

Religion - Christianity, , , , , , , ,
What does it mean that Elohim chose Israel? Differentiating between Elohim’s “conditional” and “unconditional” covenants and their relevance in the current Israel v. Iran/Islam war…

Israel was “chosen” as a Nation of sanctification, a setting apart for Elohim’s eschatological purposes. It’s eternally relevant that Elohim’s sovereign “choices” concerning the introduction of His Messiah into the Realm of Time; this, concerning the destruction of the works of Satan (1 John 3:8b), has nothing to do with the responsibility of Jacob’s children concerning their individual responsibility to trust in Elohim by faith, faith being the KEY to establishing a covenant relationship with the Father; this, from Adam forward. There is a prevailing misnomer and misunderstanding concerning Jacob’s children as Elohim’s chosen; yes, Elohim has set-apart a people group concerning His sovereign eschatological purposes but it’s the “physical Nation of Israel” that received an “unconditional covenant” from Elohim, not the individual Jew or Israelite.

Elohim’s covenant concerning the “Nation” of Israel itself is “unconditional;” that is, Elohim will keep this covenant irrespective of the faithfulness or unfaithfulness of Jacob’s children (Genesis 13:14-17) as Elohim’s covenants concerning the Nation of Israel are of eternal relevance concerning eschatology and the culmination of all things through Messiah; the establishment of a New Covenant providing blood atonement for sin and access to the Kingdom; the defeat of Satan at Golgotha; the Great Commission; the Tribulation; the Millennial Kingdom; the Judgment of Satan and the Condemned; the purification of the Heavens and the Earth by fire; the creation of a New Heaven and New Earth and ultimately the placement of the New Jerusalem and eternal service to Elohim via the resurrection.

These eschatological prophecies must come to pass and the Nation of Israel is a major player in these eschatological events; therefore, be cautious when suggesting that the Jewish-Israeli people are “chosen” when it is the Nation of Israel that Elohim has “unconditionally chosen” as those who are of Jacob’s seed are individually responsible for their personal, intimate, covenant relationship with Elohim which is attainable only by grace through faith; this, as Jacob’s seed has received NO special salvation dispensation apart from the prerequisite offered the Gentile from Adam forward; that is, grace through faith (Hebrews 11).

Israel – Elohim – Allah/Islam – Satan’s motives revealed…

Also note, Israel’s children and their relationship with Elohim as a “Nation of Israelite’s” (blessing and cursing) was “conditionally” predicated upon “National Obedience” as per Deuteronomy 28 and though Jacob’s children failed to maintain covenant with Elohim as per these mandates, Elohim is “unconditionally” obligated to Israel as a Nation, a Nation that is the “focal point” of all eschatology going forward; this, but one reason Satan through Islam fervently seeks to erase the Nation of Israel from the Global geographical map. Islam’s Allah is Satan masquerading as an “angel of light” via the Arabic moon god (2 Corinthians 11:14); therefore, understand that Islam’s obsession with the complete annihilation of the Nation of Israel and “wiping Israel from the map” is purely spiritual as Satan seeks to nullify Elohim’s unconditional promises thereby making Elohim a liar; this spiritual motive of Satan also under girding the Jewish Holocaust as Islam allied with Hitler to formalize and enact the “final solution.”

Unconditional v. Conditional Covenants,

Differentiating Elohim’s “unconditional” and “conditional” covenants concerning Israel and Jacob’s seed is eternally relevant as Jacob’s children are currently under divine judgment for their rejection of the Great Commission; their rejection and conspiratorial murder of Messiah; their insistence that Messiah’s blood be upon them and their children (Matthew 27:25); Jewish-Israeli continued rejection, unbelief, in Messiah Yeshua (Isaiah 10:22; Romans 9:27; Romans 9-11) yet Elohim WILL sustain the Nation of Israel NOT due His conditional covenants with Jacob’s seed but due His “unconditional covenant” concerning the Nation of Israel, its strategic location and eschatological relevance going forward; therefore, pray for the Nation of Israel, pray for peace in Jerusalem and pray for the individual Jew and Israelite that they might trust in Yeshua as their Messiah who died for them and thereby LIVE by faith and not in self-righteousness through Torah Law.

Israel will survive; Israel will be victorious; Man’s opinion is irrelevant…

Israel will survive; Israel will be victorious; Man’s opinion is irrelevant…

Israel represents the ONLY people in the Middle East willing to provide the Palestinians a place of refuge…NO ONE in the surrounding Muslim majority Nations want the Hell that comes with Palestinian Islamic radical ideology.

Israel IS the Bible and Elohim’s eschatological focal point in Time…you can accept this or deny it but your opinion is IRRELEVANT as Israel will survive and Islam will burn as will Satan who is Islam’s Allah.

Israel is the undeniable chasm that divides the Light from the darkness. Those who advocate the Light, Jesus Christ, defend Israel as the Light is Israel (John 8:12); those who defend the false light (2 Corinthians 11:14); that is, Islam’s Allah, join themselves with the darkness that will be judged by fire.

Light v. Darkness revealed in the United States

This current conflict between Israel and Palestine’s governing authority, HAMAS, has brought to light the spiritual divide in the United States as those who defend Israel ally with Elohim; those who defend Palestine advocate for the Devil, Allah, and this chasm in America is relevant concerning every aspect of our declining Nation as the servants of Satan-Allah are in authority and the people suffer in immoral filth.

Those who support Israel’s battle with Islamic terrorism v. those who support Islam, the Muslim World. What is the differentiating LINE IN THE SAND?

Those who support Israel’s battle with Islamic terrorism v. those who support Islam, the Muslim World. What is the differentiating LINE IN THE SAND?

With succinctness as the objective, the LINE IN THE SAND dividing support for Israel v. support for the Islamist – the Muslim is wholly SPIRITUAL. Those who advocate for Israel’s right to exist and support Israel in their response to Islamic terrorism understand Elohim’s eschatological objectives, they believe Elohim is our Creator and Israel is His eschatological representative in Time and they therefore support Israel’s right to exist as a sovereign Nation given Jacob’s children via an unconditional covenant between Elohim and Abraham, Isaac, Jacob (Israel) and realized through Moses and Joshua.

On the other hand, those who support Islam, Palestine, the Muslim World deny Elohim’s sovereignty concerning Israel; therefore, those who advocate Islam’s terrorism against Jacob’s children are aligned with Satan and Satan’s objective of destroying Jerusalem, Israel and Jacob’s children thereby thwarting Messiah Yeshua’s future Millennial Reign.

The struggle between Israel and Islam is the struggle between Elohim and Satanic forces, a war that rages in the Spiritual Realm and manifests itself in the Physical Realm through the struggles of Israel/Christianity v. Islam-Satan.

Islam’s Allah is Satan masquerading as an angel of light via the Arabic moon god (2 Corinthians 11:14). Muhammad is a 7th-Century demon-possessed nomadic pedophile murdering thief who plagiarized the Torah to construct the Quran.

Muhammad is a product of the Ishmaelites, a virulent enemy of Israel, whose progenitor is Ishmael, a “wild ass” of a man born of adultery between Abraham and Hagar (Genesis 16:12). Ishmael via Hagar is NOT the son of promise but only Isaac is the child of promise through Sarah and Abraham through whom the promise of Messiah was given (Genesis 12:3b; Genesis 22:2).

Islam is a demonically rooted religious cult of death and Hell and its presence within the Realm of Time represents the spiritual wickedness of Satan and his fallen angels.

The spiritual struggle between Israel – Christianity and Islam is a physical manifestation of the spiritual war that rages in both the Spiritual Realm and the Physical Realm (Ephesians 6), a spiritual and physical conflict that will NOT be concluded until subsequent Messiah’s Millennial Reign where the entirety of Elohim’s enemies will be destroyed by fire and Satan, the Beast, the False Prophet, the fallen angels, interned in the spiritual Hell, forever (Revelation 20).

Jesus IS Elohim (Genesis 1:1)

Religion - Christianity, , , ,
Jesus is Elohim, our Creator, Warrior, Messiah, Judge…

Jesus is Elohim, Deity, our Creator and Messiah and Judge and those who know Him as their Messiah by faith understand this, testify of same, as the Deity of Jesus and the knowledge of that truism is the differentiating reality between the redeemed Christian and every religion and cult of the World (Genesis 1; John 1; Hebrews 1; Colossians 1).

The one who possesses the indwelling Holy Spirit as Guarantor of New Covenant relationship with the Father (Ephesians 1:13-14) testifies of Messiah’s Deity as the Spirit teaches this truism and if one denies Messiah’s deity they are absent the indwelling Holy Spirit; therefore, they remain in their sin, they are absent covenant relationship with the Father and on the broad road to death in Hell.

What is the MOTIVE of the United States Federal Government?

Liberal Ideology, Religion - Christianity, , , , , , , ,

What is the MOTIVE of the United States Federal Government?

What is the MOTIVE of a Federal Government that opens its borders and negotiates – conspires with Mexican Cartel Terrorists to import deadly narcotics killing hundreds of thousands of American citizens annually; importing Islamic terrorists – millions of unknown, unvetted, illegal immigrants, many of whom are single, unaccompanied, fighting-age males; importing child sex trafficking, importing the trafficking of women for sexual manipulation; importing addiction and mental illness and unknown diseases, into the United States while actively battling States efforts to protect their sovereignty?  

What is the MOTIVE of a Federal Government that plainly sees the terrorist activity of Marxist factions within the United States represented by Black Lives Matter and ANTIFA, billions of dollars of damage in “mostly peaceful” riots, police murdered, civilians murdered, buildings burned, business shuttered yet our mentally ill, dementia laden, demon possessed, “President” warns his demonically deceived Progressive base on international media that the greatest threat to the United States today is White supremacy i.e., God-honoring White skinned MAGA Republicans-Conservatives?  

What is the MOTIVE of a Federal Government that actively espouses and civilly protects, celebrates the mental and spiritual illness of gender confusion, the physiological-psychological-moral mutilation of children and young adults via gender transitioning surgery and hormones knowing that this demonic behavior directly attacks the Biblical family unit which is essential to sustainable mores, norms, values; knowing, that this demonic agenda destroys the lives and futures of untold confused, deceived, American youth?  

What is the MOTIVE of a Federal Government that knowingly forces its citizenry to inject an untested “vaccine” into their body for a variant of the “flu” virus and in the face of overwhelming evidence that this “vaccine” results in cardio vascular disease and a whole host of physiological ailments, that Federal Government, to this day, promotes the very same destructive propaganda and advocates for the firing, dismissal, societal ostracizing of those who reject the Globalist deception?  

What is the MOTIVE of a Federal Government, its “Justice Department,” and its Congress, that allows a “President” to continue in office when overwhelming evidence suggests that said President is psychologically unfit and is politically compromised having sold his position of authority to America’s virulent enemies e.g., China, Russia, Iran/Islam; this political authority exchanged for millions of dollars for which that President and his corrupt family members have not paid taxes?  

What is the MOTIVE of a Federal Government that actively funds, enters into binding agreements with, the largest sponsor of terrorism in the World, Iran/Islam?  

What is the MOTIVE of a Federal Government that claims to have missed the intelligence, the evidence leading up to the 9/11 attacks in New York? How is this possible and for what reason? 

What is the MOTIVE of a Federal Government that claims to have missed the evidence leading up to the massacre of Israeli men, women, children, by the Islamic terrorist organization “HAMAS?” How is this possible and for what reason?  

What is the MOTIVE of a Federal Government that actively allows violent criminals to murder and rape and pillage its citizenry while protecting local, county, state, federal, district attorneys, prosecutors, judges, obviously culpable of misfeasance and malfeasance?  

What is the MOTIVE of a Federal Government that allows the mentally ill and the addicted, the homeless, to exist on the sidewalks and in the alleys of our municipalities, defecate and urinate on the sidewalks and in the streets, dispose of used drug paraphernalia in public places and actively provide the addicted with injection sites and drugs and drug paraphernalia? 

What is the MOTIVE of a Federal Government that actively destroys the moral and ethical foundation of America’s law enforcement and military community through forced inclusion of LGBTQ and Affirmative Action and Diversity-Equity-Inclusion mandates while rejecting the time-honored benefits of meritocracy?  

What is the MOTIVE of a Federal Government that refuses to provide the people they serve with energy independence; energy independence readily available by using the bountiful resource of petroleum so graciously provided by our Creator yet that Government chooses to reject God’s resources in lieu of promoting the demonic lie of “man-induced climate change?” The Government KNOWS, true science affirms, that the Earth’s climate is cyclical and man’s carbon foot-print is wholly irrelevant yet that Government insists on pursuing unsustainable “green energy policies” that is bankrupting their Nation, placing incredible financial burdens on working families, weakening the Nation monetarily, politically, while making America dependent upon Her enemies for resources. Why?  

What is the MOTIVE of the United States Federal Government having rejected our Founder, our God, Elohim, Jesus Christ, having booed Him in Congress yet celebrates the works of the Devil void shame?  

What is the MOTIVE of the United States Federal Government having committed treason and violated the United States Constitution and Her first duty of “protection?”  

What is the Patriot to do?
