Law-Keeping – Legalism – Torah v. the New Covenant & the Holy Spirit…

Law-keeping fanaticism/self-righteousness continues through the corrupted theology of Religion, Judaism, Cults – Legalism, the Written Code…

Forum resident legalist stated: “Whether you know the Law or not…whether you know about Y’shua or not… the soul that continues in sin shall die. Faith without works is dead, true faith is an action word.”

Christian response,

1) Faith that initiates New Covenant relationship with the Father is a noun, NOT a verb. You can do NOTHING to earn your salvation, a salvation that is offered by grace (unmerited favor unattainable through human effort – a divine gift) through faith-trust-belief in Jesus as your Messiah (John 3; Ephesians 2:8-9).

2) We, the descendants of Adam, will die in body due to sin (1 Corinthians 15:22) though there will be a minuscule segment of humanity that will not see physical death but be transformed in that Day (1 Corinthians 15:51). With that said, if one professes Jesus Christ as Messiah and continues living in willful sin void conscience, they are not, nor were they ever, redeemed by faith (Matthew 7:15-20) as these who are willfully lawless remain as those who pursue righteousness through the written code (Torah) – they are cursed (Galatians 3:10), they are dead in their sin and trespasses due to the Law of Sin and Death that defines sin void atonement (Romans 3:20; Romans 8:2).

The error of self-righteousness through Law,

Where law obsessed fanatics fail in their corrupted theology is their inability or unwillingness to comprehend the New Covenant’s promises and the Spiritual Law (Romans 2:14-15) that is employed by the Holy Spirit through the redeemed conscience via the daily process of sanctification (Galatians 5:16) which produces “fruit” of righteousness (Galatians 5: Matthew 7:15-20) that fulfills the moral requirements of all law, including the written code (Romans 7:6)…you simply cannot see, hear, internalize, this truth because you are dead spiritually and the god of this World, Satan, has blinded your mind and your heart from my Father’s Truth through His Son via His Holy Spirit (2 Corinthians 4:4); that is, a righteousness (right standing with the Father) that has manifest through faith APART FROM THE LAW – TORAH (Romans 3:21).

Superiority of New Covenant obedience,

The obedience produced by the indwelling Holy Spirit in the New Covenant is infinitely superior to Torah Law seeking compliance through the sin-nature of the Jew, Israelite, converts to Judaism, the legalist, the Islamist, cult member, as the Spiritual Law written upon the heart at conception is enlivened by the Holy Spirit through the redeemed conscience and the Holy Spirit then tutors, guides, provides exacting divine discernment in every facet of a Christian’s life, daily; therefore, every decision is filtered through the Holy Spirit’s wisdom via the conscience and those decisions are therefore protected from obfuscation, interpretation, rationalization, that is prevalent with any form of written code.

Written Code obsessions and the spiritually dead,

It matters not your fervor for obedience to Law, if you’re absent covenant with the Father, a New Covenant established ONLY by faith in the Son, you are a spiritually dead man or woman walking this Earth in decaying flesh in pursuit of nihilism and futility. Judaism, Sinai, Religion, Islam, Catholicism, Denominationalism, Philanthropy, Sabbath Observance, Law-Keeping, Tradition-Keeping, Torah, the Tanakh, ONLY CONDEMNS YOUR SOUL TO HELL in the absence of Jesus Christ as Messiah by faith.

Conclusion,

True, abiding faith in Jesus naturally engenders, motivates, results in, produces, “fruits of righteousness” that fulfills all Law (Galatians 5); this, performed through and by the indwelling Holy Spirit given to all who believe-trust in Jesus as Messiah (Ephesians 1:13-14). Your LAW obsession void Messiah by faith condemns your soul to Hell; this, without excuse.

Israelite Obsessions with Law-Sinai v. the New Covenant…

Concerning Jewish/Israelite obsessions with Sinai-the Written Code and obedience to Law,

To those confused about “law” in the New Covenant,

If one desires to honor the Ten-Commandments simplified into the Two-Greatest Commandments as articulated by Messiah, those Two-Commandments fulfilling all Law (Matthew 22:36-40), they must repent of their sin and initiate covenant relationship with the Father by faith in the Son, Jesus Christ, believing that Jesus died to pay their sin-debt for them and subsequently receive the indwelling Holy Spirit in accordance with New Covenant promise (Ezekiel 36:27) and walk by the Spirit (Galatians 5:16), obeying the Spirit’s leadership and tutorship over their life; this, accomplished by the Holy Spirit working through the redeemed conscience (2 Corinthians 5:17) via the daily process of sanctification where the Spirit produces “fruits” of righteousness (Galatians 5:22-23) and this spiritual fruit fulfills all Law, both the Spiritual Law (Romans 2:14-15) and the Written Code (Sinai), as there is no Law against that “fruit of righteousness” which the Spirit produces in the life of the one redeemed by Jesus as Messiah; in fact, Jesus said “you will know them by their fruit” (Matthew 7:15-20). It is the “fruit of the Spirit” that is KEY to pleasing the Father subsequent having established covenant with Him by faith in the Son and not striving after letters that condemn the soul to Hell void atonement (Romans 3:20; Romans 7:6).

Weakness of the Written Code (Sinai)

Understand that the Written Code cannot be fulfilled by the flesh, the sin-nature, therefore, attempts to honor the Father through keeping the Written Code are futile, nihilistic, condemnation, a curse, (Romans 3:20; Galatians 3:10) as the Written Code, in order to attain righteousness (a right standing with the Father) through it, mandates absolute perfection (James 2:10) and the sin-nature inherited from Adam (Romans 5:12) is simply not capable of complying and pleasing the Father through perfect obedience (Romans 3:23); therefore, Jesus entered Time via the virgin womb, circumvented the sin-nature inherited from Adam; consequently, Jesus kept the Law for us in mandated perfection (Matthew 5:17) and offers you and me His perfection, His righteousness, imputed-gifted into our life by New Covenant promise when we acknowledge Him as our Messiah believing that He died for us to pay our sin-debt, a debt owed the Father that we could never pay our self (John 3; 2 Corinthians 5:21).

Conclusion,

Faith in Jesus and subsequently walking in the Holy Spirit through sanctification is the ONLY Way to produce “fruit” that honors the Law and pleases the Father as you are now His child, forever (John 10:28-30; Jude 1:24).

Israelite Apostasy: Paul came out of the blue preaching his own doctrine…

Israelite apostasy leading to death in Hell:

“Jesus was not sent to gentiles…Jesus was sent to the Lost sheep of Israel. The Sole purpose of your Jesus was to gather the Lost Sheep of Israel, not Gentiles. Paul came out of the blue and went to gentiles with his own doctrine.”

Christian rebuttal,

Jesus was sent to the lost sheep of Israel (Matthew 15:24) to continue their sanctification – ordination concerning the Father’s eschatological plan relevant to “destroying the works of the Devil” through Messiah (1 John 3:8b) via the Gospel that was ordained “before Time began” (2 Timothy 1:8-10). Israel rejected this New Covenant established in the blood of Messiah at Golgotha (Matthew 26:28) and Elohim honored Israel’s free will decision to reject Grace and pursue self-righteousness through Law; consequently, Elohim gave the Covenant of Grace through Faith to the Gentiles relevant to the Great Commission (Matthew 28) and Israel was placed under judgment and will remain under judgment until the fullness of the Gentiles have entered the Kingdom (Romans 11:25); therefore, only a “remnant” of Israel’s children will escape the “second death” in Hell due to arrogance, self-righteousness through Law, unbelief-rejection of Yeshua as Messiah (Isaiah 10:22; Romans 9:27).

Israel is not unique relevant to Elohim’s judgements and He warned them in Deuteronomy 28 that their future, their blessings, their covenant relationship with Him, were all predicated upon National obedience yet Israel arrogantly tested Elohim and they have and are presently reaping what they have sown in disobedience, murder, blasphemy, unbelief, self-righteousness. Today, Israel’s children are the eternal example of what NOT TO DO concerning establishing covenant relationship with the Father.

Did Elohim fail to see Israel’s failures concerning the Gospel, Messiah, the Great Commission?

Israelite mockingly asks: “I see, so God failed to foresee that Israel would fail and so He sent His prophets inaccurate prophecies?”

Christian response,

Elohim also created the Adamic and Noahic generations prior to Abraham as well, an unfathomable number of men, women, children, who freely rebelled against Elohim’s eschatological will for their lives by engaging in unconscionable defilement via an alliance with the demonic resulting in Elohim’s judgment of death by water save eight; this, resulting in a broken heart suffered by Elohim as He admitted His sorrow for having created humanity (Genesis 6) yet Elohim began anew; this, as Elohim’s eschatological purposes must be fulfilled and the KEY to Elohim’s eschatological plan is FREE WILL, SELFLESS LOVE.

Elohim did not, has not, “failed” concerning the Adamic, Noahic, Abrahamic, Old and New Covenants but allows free will to reign by necessity as Elohim via His divine omnipotence works through, around, the free will of both the angelic and human creations to accomplish His perfect will for Eternity and for the temporary Realm of Time.

Elohim has allowed both His angels and His created humanity to possess free will so that intimate relationship with Him can exist with purity and authenticity with reciprocal meaning and substance. Elohim poured His heart into Israel, blessed and sanctified them for His eschatological purposes having to do with victory over the Devil but the sin-nature initiated by the deception of Satan through Adam countered Elohim’s love and was initially successful; this cosmic war between Elohim and Satan being obsessed over by the angels who are observing their Creator deal with a rebellious cherub angel and their fellow brethren (fallen angels) that followed the rebellious anointed cherub in the great rebellion manifesting in the Kingdom before Time was created; the Earth having been created by Yeshua as a temporary battle ground for this cosmic rebellion; this, apart from the Kingdom where nothing impure is permitted to exist (Revelation 21:27).

What you fail to understand or comprehend due to your blindness in Law-Torah-Judaism and absence of the Spirit as your Teacher is that all we observe in the Scriptures is the resultant of a WAR of cosmic proportions that rages around us and through us; the entirety of Scripture is an eschatological battle strategy initiated by Elohim, a battle strategy we know as “The Gospel of Grace” that was ordained “before Time began” (2 Timothy 1:8-10) and the Warrior given authority over this Cosmic Battle is the Messiah who entered Time specifically “to destroy the works of the Devil” (1 John 3:8b). If you will study the words provided you by the Holy Spirit with this cosmic battle strategy as foundational to all theological doctrine, you will gain insight into the who, what, where, when, why, how, concerning Elohim’s eschatological plan for Time, Eternity, your life.

You are approaching the Scriptures, Life, the Torah, Moses, the prophets, the Law, without a proper context or foundation. You do not understand the eschatological plan initiated by Elohim long before Day-1 of the creation narrative and you do not understand causation for the creation narrative, the temporal existence of the Universe in which we exist and the purposes for same or causation for a complex human genome created in the spiritual image of Elohim on Day-6.

At the core of all that is life, Time, reality, flesh, spirit, is Free Will and Messiah and Satan and Elohim’s precious faithful angelic creation as Elohim endeavors to restore order, holiness, to His Kingdom while simultaneously maintaining volitional love with His angelic creation, but you don’t see because you’re “existing” and not “living” because you’re absent the Holy Spirit who is the Teacher given humanity by faith in Yeshua and the Spirit is the One who anoints with knowledge and purpose to make you effective in this unfathomable struggle between good and evil…you don’t KNOW because your affections lie with Moses and NOT in Yeshua our Creator, Warrior, Messiah, Judge.

Your deception is integral with Adam while Truth is integral with Yeshua…yet you live in deception by free will via an obsession with a dead covenant based in Law that curses your soul to death in Hell (Galatians 3:10) void any semblance of atonement or hope.

The Messianic Jew – conflicted, rejected…why?

The Messianic Jew – conflicted, rejected, alienated, due self-righteousness and Moses…

The struggle for the Messianic Jew is Israel’s obsession with self-righteousness through Law (Romans 10; Galatians). Israel is inherently arrogant and the Tribes think themselves superior to the rest of humanity due to Elohim’s sanctification of their tribes, the covenants enacted for His eschatological purposes yet it was Israel’s arrogance and self-righteousness that condemned them and resulted in their failure to complete Elohim’s eschatological will for the Tribes concerning the Gospel, Messiah, a promise to be a blessing to every family of the Earth (Genesis 12:3) through Messiah via the Gospel via faith via the Great Commission (Matthew 28).

The Messianic Jew is certainly conflicted as they desire to honor Yeshua but simply cannot let go of Moses or at a minimum, place Moses in his proper perspective. The Messianic Jew struggles with “faith” as they relent to vain attempts to keep the written code in order to supplement saving faith in Yeshua; that is, the Messianic Jew arrogantly and sadly believes that Yahweh is not pleased with faith alone in Messiah but that they, in self-righteousness, must supplement grace, they must play a role in their own salvation through observing days, diets, traditions, ordinances, while not understanding that they’re denying the fundamental element of New Covenant relationship with the Father, FAITH-ALONE IN YESHUA, ALONE (Ephesians 2:8-9; Romans 3:21).

For this reason, “many” Messianic Jews will approach Yeshua at Judgment (Revelation 20:11-15) and point to their wonderful works in His Name and Yeshua will tell them, away from Me you workers of iniquity, I never knew you (Matthew 7:21-23); this, because the Messianic Jew trusted in their own self-righteousness through Moses for their salvation and denied the sole-sufficiency of Yeshua to save by faith (Galatians 2:16; Romans 10; Romans 9:27). This is why only a remnant of Israel’s children will escape the “second death” in Hell, they rejected Elohim’s grace through faith for works of the Law as they idolize Moses and reject the divine sufficiency of Yeshua to save by faith-belief-trust (Isaiah 10:22; Romans 9:27).

“Christian Outlaw” Motorcycle Club v. “Christian Democrats” – oxymoronic & hypocritical…

“Christian Outlaws” (Facebook Page – Motorcycle Group) v. “Christian Democrats” (Twitter Page) relevant to hypocrisy and obviously being oxymoronic?

My understanding of Christianity is that the Christian eschews lawlessness and self-righteousness and endeavors to become more like Christ, loving the Father with one’s whole heart and loving your neighbor as yourself (Matthew 26:36-40).

Therefore, how can a man or woman who, with intent, illegally modifies a motorcycle or any motor vehicle to emit dangerous noise levels in multiples (logarithmic) the legal, total, motorcycle noise emissions of 80dB(A) as restricted by the US EPA for the safety and health and daily quality of life of the American citizen then proceed out onto a public roadway and audibly abuse children, the elderly, the handicapped, our families, by the millions each day with that illegal, abusive, motorcycle NOISE; then, wear Messiah’s cross of suffering as their colors and profess to love God in Jesus Christ yet abuse those whom Jesus died for?

Is not identifying as a “Christian Outlaw” – an illegally LOUD motorcycle thug in the same vein of hypocrisy as the “Christian Democrat” who identifies with a demonic Political Party that advocates for the murder of babies in the womb; the mutilation of children’s bodies through demonic gender reassignment; the hatred of the Biblical God in American society; advocates for the Hell of a communist police state; advocates for the demonic deception of LGBTQ and forces same upon society?

What is the difference in hypocrisy between the Christian Outlaw and the Christian Democrat? Personally, I see both as servants of the Devil.

A True Christian – What does that mean?

A true Christian? What does that mean? How do I become an authentic Christian?

Becoming a Christian? Relevant questions that must be answered in the affirmative…

Does one truly trust in Jesus as Messiah…do they believe with a sincere heart that Jesus is Messiah who died for them?

These matters of the heart are known by the Father via His divine omniscience (Psalm 139:2) and irrespective of genealogy, heritage, skin color, past history-sin, intelligence quotient, employment, service, philanthropy, the one who truly believes that Jesus died for them to pay their sin-debt owed the Father…a sin-debt they could never pay them self…this person is made “positionally right” with the Father by faith; that is, the righteousness-sinless perfection of Jesus is imputed-gifted into their life by covenant promise (2 Corinthians 5:21), forever, and they enter into New Covenant relationship with the Father, they receive the indwelling Holy Spirit as Guarantor of that Covenant (Ephesians 1:13-14), forever, and they are forever forgiven of sin…all sin…past-present-future (Hebrews 8:12)…and they become a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17) with new values, desires, goals, through the daily process of sanctification (Galatians 5:16) where the Holy Spirit employs the natural law, the law of conscience (Romans 2:14-15) written upon our heart at conception in the womb and enlivens that law through the redeemed conscience and the Holy Spirit does a new work in their life by producing “fruit” (Galatians 5) that honors the Father, validates their faith, as the Holy Spirit prepares them for service in the New Jerusalem; this, for the Glory and Honor of the Father as He is currently in the process of restoring order and holiness to His Kingdom, holiness and order disrupted by a rebellious and destructive anointed cherub angel (John 8:44; Luke 10:18); this, causation for the Gospel as Elohim’s battle strategy to “destroy the works of the Devil” through Messiah’s selfless love demonstrated at Golgotha (1 John 3:8b); this, a battle strategy ordained, authorized, “before Time began” (2 Timothy 1:8-10).

Jesus said you will know the Christian by the “fruit” that is produced in their life via the indwelling Holy Spirit (Matthew 7:15-20; Galatians 5); therefore, a man or woman’s relationship with Elohim cannot necessarily be judged by the denominational or religious label placed upon them by the works of men for Elohim’s thoughts and His purposes are infinitely superior to the thoughts and motives of sinful humanity (Isaiah 55:8).

“Many” Christians will die in Hell? A Christian rebuttal…

A self-proclaimed “Evangelist” stated that there will be “many” Christians who will enter Hell and under girded his corrupt theology with Matthew 7:21-23. A Christian rebuttal…

True Christians are not going to Hell, they’re the only human beings that will enter the Kingdom of God. Matthew 7:21-23 has NOTHING to do with Christianity and everything to do with religion, Judaism, Islam, Catholicism, cults, sects, as Jesus is teaching that there will be “many” who have worked themselves to the bone with involvement in philanthropy, service to a church or a synagogue or mosque or a charity and will be rejected from entering the Kingdom, why?

These “religious people” are rejected and Jesus tells them plainly “I never knew you” because THEY NEVER ESTABLISHED-INITIATED COVENANT RELATIONSHIP WITH THE FATHER BY FAITH IN THE SON, JESUS CHRIST (John 6:29; 1 John 2:23). These never humbled themselves and repented of their sins and fully trusted in Jesus as their Messiah and received the righteousness of Jesus imputed into their life by faith and subsequently received the Holy Spirit as Guarantor of that covenant relationship (John 3; Ephesians 1:13-14; 2 Corinthians 5:21). These never complied with the Father’s will (John 6:29) therefore, they never entered relationship as children of the Living God by grace through faith.

Their “wonderful works” were interpreted by the Father as “filthy rags” or, in the Hebrew, a bloody menstrual cloth (Isaiah 64:6) because their works were not performed by the indwelling Holy Spirit but they performed their good deeds in self-righteousness for self-glorification before men, society; therefore, their good works were rejected as were they because covenant relationship had not been established, FIRST!

Conditioning Children with Loud Biker Cult[ure] Thuggery…

Much like the Progressive Left in America conditioning our children to be communists-gender confused-climate cultists-atheists; here, we see our children being conditioned to be lawless NOISE thugs who ride illegally LOUD motorcycles and abuse societies most innocent with illegal NOISE emissions that destroy the daily quality of life of millions of American citizens, noise that attacks the health and welfare of all exposed to same; basically, teaching our children to model after antisocial loud biker thuggery, a NOISE cult of abuse…this is demonically rooted and it’s sick at its core. https://rickeyholtsclaw.com/2016/03/10/the-truth-about-loud-motorcycles-the-police-wont-or-cant-tell-you/

Confusion concerning Genesis 3:15, an explanation…

Confusion concerning Genesis 3:15, the serpent’s crushed head, Messiah’s bruised heel, the seed of the woman, the Gospel of Grace…

Jesus is the “seed” of the woman (Galatians 4:4)…a virgin seed (Matthew 1:23) essential to circumvent the sin-nature passed to all of humanity through Adam’s genome (Romans 5:12) and the bruised heal of Messiah speaks of His crucifixion where Messiah crushes the head of the serpent, the Devil, by destroying death, Hell, the grave, for all who believe in Jesus as Messiah…this is why Messiah appeared in the Realm of Time…“to destroy the works of the Devil” (1 John 3:8b) and this is subsequently pictured for us first in Genesis 3:21 where Elohim rejects Adam’s attempt to cover sin and shame via fig leaves (works) and Elohim proceeds to shed innocent blood, Himself, and clothes Adam and Eve in an imputed-gifted robe of righteousness which pictures the work of Jesus, the righteousness of Jesus, being imputed into and over the life of the one who believes (2 Corinthians 5:21).

For all intents and purposes, the Gospel of Jesus, ordained “before Time began” (2 Timothy 1:8-10), is revealed in the 3rd-Chapter of the Genesis Narrative if one possesses eyes to see and ears to hear via the indwelling Holy Spirit (1 John 2:27). The entirety of Scripture following Genesis 3 provides Elohim’s eschatological, theological, roadmap as He proceeds to restore order and holiness to His Kingdom disrupted by Satan’s rebellion; this, while Elohim via His omnipotence works through and around mankind’s free will choices concerning obedience and disobedience; this, for the benefit of the faithful angelic creation that looks-on with fascination, amazement and awe at what their Creator has done to right an eternal wrong via selfless love demonstrated at Golgotha while enduring a rebellious and obstinate human kind.
