Why does our Heavenly Father reject self-righteousness through attempts to keep the Law as a means of salvation? What has our Heavenly Father provided as an alternative?

First of all, God the Father warns us that from His vantage point of pure holiness and undefiled righteousness, our works of personal righteousness seeking God’s favor is likened to a “filthy garment,” putrid in smell and appearance (Isaiah 64:6). The Hebrew relevant to Isaiah 64:6 “iddim” (filthy), kat-ta-me (unclean), u-ke-be-ged (rags), actually denotes an unclean woman during menstruation; specifically, a bloody menstrual cloth…this defines the repulsiveness of a man or woman’s works of righteousness when performed in our flesh as opposed to the Holy Spirit’s guidance during the daily process of sanctification relevant to those redeemed by faith in Messiah Jesus (Galatians 5:16; Romans 7:6). Simply put, covenant relationship with our Holy God is NOT possible through human effort, period (Galatians 2:16; Romans 3:20; Ephesians 2:8-9).

Second, no one will be justified by the Law because the purpose of the Law is to arbitrate free will by defining our sin and convicting the conscience thereby promoting societal harmony and thwarting societal implosion/extinction via unrestrained narcissism (Romans 3:20). Law was and is given for the lawless, the undisciplined, the rebellious…law is not given for the righteous (1 Timothy 1:9).

Third, pursuing righteousness through Law-Keeping is not possible due to the sin-nature inherited from Adam (Romans 5:12; Romans 8:1-8) as the Law mandates absolute perfection (James 2:10) and all of humanity is cursed by the Law (Galatians 3:10; Deuteronomy 27:26) as all have sinned and fallen short of our Heavenly Father’s pure and righteous standard i.e. perfection (Romans 3:23; Ecclesiastes 7:20; Romans 3:10).

Fourth, the written code; the Law Covenant; Sinai’s Commandments; the 603 Mosaic Laws; the natural law of conscience (Romans 2:14-15), are simply insufficient in and of themselves to address every aspect of life where personal discernment and wisdom are called into play via a myriad of choices between good v. evil, right v. wrong, pleasing God v. sin. Law, the written code, is simply an insufficient entity to control behavior or define every nuance of daily discernment in our efforts to please God through obedience and Law is subjective, its elements open to interpretation and subject to obfuscation and rationalization by the sin-nature and man’s propensity for narcissism e.g. the pursuit of pleasing the flesh; therefore, our Heavenly Father, before Time began (2 Timothy 1:8-10), instituted the precepts of the Gospel via a future “New Covenant” where man’s relationship with God would be managed, controlled, methodically guided, by God the Holy Spirit who lives within, indwells, the faithful, the redeemed, in Messiah (Ezekiel 36:27; Jeremiah 31:33; Hebrews 10:16).

In accordance with the mandates of the New Covenant, the indwelling Holy Spirit daily walks the redeemed in obedience to the Father’s will through the conscience via sanctification; this, as the Holy Spirit prepares the redeemed for an eternity of service in the New Jerusalem. The unfathomable myriad of laws in the written code are managed by the Spirit who intercedes in the daily life of the redeemed by controlling the conscience via imputed wisdom and discernment apart from enslavement to the impotence and subjectivity of letters and the sin-nature (Romans 7:6).

The Holy Spirit’s internal work in the redeemed is an infinitely superior form of behavioral modification working through the “new creation” in Messiah (2 Corinthians 5:17) as opposed to the Old Law Covenant seeking obedience to a written code by a sin-nature that continuously failed to adhere to the mandates of absolute perfection (James 2:10; Galatians 3:10; Romans 8:1-8).

The only Alternative to the futility of seeking righteousness through Law,

As first pictured by the Holy Spirit in Genesis 3:21, it is Elohim HIMSELF who would provide humanity a “robe of righteousness” through the shedding of innocent blood while rejecting the works of man’s hands to cover his own sin through acts of self-righteousness.

The imputed righteousness of Elohim is defined, pictured, foreshadowed, throughout the Torah and the New Covenant and expressed explicitly in the Gospel of Jesus Christ which was ordained as Elohim’s battle strategy to “destroy the works of the Devil” (1 John 3:8b) “before Time began” (2 Timothy 1:8-10).

The righteousness provided by God the Father is not through the Law but is only attainable by grace (unmerited favor unattainable through human effort) through faith-trust-belief in the One the Father has sent into the World to provide blood atonement for our sin, Jesus Christ (John 3; John 6:29).

The Father has proclaimed ONE-WAY for sinful humanity to enter into an eternal covenant relationship with Him; that is, believe in the Son, Jesus Christ, and receive the indwelling Holy Spirit as Guarantor of covenant relationship and LIVE (John 14:6; Ephesians 1:13-14) via the “imputed” righteousness, the gifted righteousness, of Jesus earned for us through His perfection in keeping the mandates of the Law and giving Himself as a blood sacrifice for our sin (John 3; 2 Corinthians 5:21).

Conclusion,

Elohim has made the sovereign choice to give Himself as a blood sacrifice for your sin; this, for His own glory in the presence of the holy angelic creation, and by faith the perfection, righteousness, of the Son, Jesus Christ, is imputed-gifted into the life of the one who believes that Jesus died for them; this, in exchange for our sin, forever (2 Corinthians 5:21; Hebrews 8:12).

What the Law was powerless to do because it was weakened and nullified as a path to righteousness due to our sinful flesh, Elohim did through the appearing of the perfect, sinless, Son in flesh who has provided mandated blood atonement for the sin of the whole World (John 3: Hebrews 10; 2 Corinthians 5:21; 1 John 2:2).

State of the Union?

America has been heading down the road of Marxism since 1880 and the Progressive insanity of John Dewey (the father of modern education)…the 60’s marked the point of no return with Engel v. Vitale (1962) and the infusion of Darwin into the “biological sciences” as “evolution” and a subtle form of Marx into revisionist history in the humanities along with the demonic perversion of Hollywood, the mainstream media, homosexuality (1973) and abortion that same year.

America surrendered her posterity to the demons of evolution and Marx 50+years ago and the fruition of that catastrophe is just now coming home to roost in DC and State Houses around the United States…we are no longer a free people served by a limited federal government under the auspices of a “Constitutional Republic”….we are serfs bent over by tyrants and CCP type authoritarianism is about to get very REAL in America.

Without another bloody civil war to once again thwart the demonic pursuits of the vile and perverse Democrat Party, America will die in immorality at the hands of Marx and Satan and our posterity will suffer horrifically…and…we have no one to blame but ourselves….both political parties in the United States are as useless as the tits on a boar hog. The Millennial and Gen-Z generations are defiled powder puffs ripe for Communism and the blame is squarely on the shoulders of the Boomers and the Communists we’ve voted into office to represent us.

Self-Righteousness of Judaism, Cults, Sects, Islam, World Religions,

Quote from a stubborn, self-righteous, Judaizer on FB…

“Satan is so powerful. Obedience to God has now been entitiled [entitled or titled] as “Legalism” God have mercy.”

Christian rebuttal,

TRUE, RELEVANT, God-honoring, obedience is only possible by those who honor the Father by faith in the Son, Jesus Christ, and receive the Holy Spirit as Guarantor of covenant relationship (Galatians 5:16; John 3; Ephesians 1:13-14). Walking in obedience to the indwelling Holy Spirit via the conscience via the daily process of sanctification is the only way one honors the Father with works of righteousness that will endure to the end and be rewarded at the BEMA Judgment; all other forms of work and self-righteous obedience will be burned away as filthy rags (Isaiah 64:6) and as futile and nihilistic arrogance that will ultimately convict the unbeliever of sin resulting in the “second death” in Hell subsequent adjudication manifesting at the Judgment of the Condemned (Revelation 20:11-15).

Where you err and falter as you’re daily dying in your sin, legalism and spiritual ignorance en route to death in Hell is your refusal to comprehend the theological truism that Law and vain attempts at obedience in the flesh will NOT earn anyone redemption from sin as the Law mandates absolute perfection and curses one to death in Hell because we are all sinners and the Law only defines our sin but provides ZERO atonement or hope (Galatians 2:16; Romans 3:20-23; Galatians 3:10; James 2:10); therefore, unless one acknowledges and repents of their sin and truly acknowledges their inability to save them self by works of self-righteousness through law-keeping while confessing that Jesus is Messiah, our Lord, who suffered and died in our place to pay our sin-debt (John 3; Ephesians 2:8-9; Romans 10:9-10)…a sin-debt owed the Father that we could NEVER pay our self through self-righteousness, unless one believes this and confesses this with a sincere heart, they will die in their sin along side you and they will perish in Hell in self-righteousness along side you (John 3).

Obedience to God’s will for your life is a GOOD thing but it’s only possible through obedience to the indwelling Holy Spirit who is only given to those who repent of their sin and sincerely confess, believe, trust, in Jesus as their Messiah (Ephesians 1:13-14; John 3).

The Christian does NOT deny the eternal relevance of respecting our Heavenly Father through obedience but the Christian rejects your self-righteousness and your arrogance that suggests humanity can find favor with our Holy God through our attempts in the flesh to keep a Law or be sufficiently obedient to please Him as the Christian knows that ONLY the “imputed righteousness” of Messiah Jesus by faith in Jesus as our Lord will the Father be pleased and establish covenant relationship with us, forever (2 Corinthians 5:21; Hebrews 8:12). He who denies the Son does NOT have the Father and is therefore a bastard child in Time and in Eternity living without hope or covenant (1 John 2:23).

The Legalist; Spiritual Ignorance; Virtue Signaling-Hypocrisy; Truth…

The Law is not hated by those who love Christ nor is Christianity lawlessness concealed by faith but the Law is seen for what it is, a Tutor, a Foreshadowing, an indictment of humanity and our need for a Redeemer (Galatians 3:24-25; Romans 3:20-23).

I weary of the legalists and their virtue signaling hypocrisy who gag at a gnat and swallow a camel. If Law was a path to life, Jesus would not have needed to suffer and die in your place (Galatians 2:21) and the Law is given to the lawless as an adjudicatory standard for Judgment (Rev 20:11-15; Romans 3:20), not the righteous in Christ (1 Timothy 1:9).

The faithful in Messiah Jesus don’t walk daily seeking adherence to letters scratched upon parchment or etched in stone (Romans 6:14) but the one who loves Jesus and possesses the precious Holy Spirit as Guarantor of covenant relationship (Ephesians 1:13-14) seeks obedience to the Spirit’s will via the conscience via the daily process of sanctification (Galatians 5:16).

Your blind love of the Law and your false accusations of lawlessness in Christianity denotes your lack of knowledge and the absence of the Holy Spirit in your life. The Holy Spirit’s anointing in the life of the redeemed by faith is an eternally superior form of behavioral modification through the “new creation” in Christ (1 Corinthians 5:17; Galatians 5:16), the Spirit’s anointing is an infinitely superior conveyor of fruitful obedience than the failed Law Covenant (Hebrews 8:7) that sought conformity to letters by a sinful nature that could never attain the perfection necessary for a works oriented, self-righteous, salvation (James 2:10; Galatians 3:10; Galatians 2:16; Romans 3:20-23).

The ONLY righteousness attainable in this life constrained by Time and physics is the IMPUTED – GIFTED righteousness of Jesus Christ provided by faith in Jesus as Lord; any other pursuit of righteousness is futile and will culminate in death of mind, body, soul, in Hell (2 Corinthians 5:21; John 14:6; Romans 10).

If one desires obedience that pleases the Father, they must first pursue the Holy Spirit’s anointing available ONLY by faith in Jesus Christ as Messiah (Ephesians 1:13-14) – any other pursuit of righteousness (a right standing) with the Father is “religious” by definition and nihilistic and demonically rooted in practice (Romans 7:6).

Elohim, Selfless Love, Creation, the Devil, Crucifixion, were there no other options?

Elohim first demonstrated that He HIMSELF would provide innocent blood for the atonement of sin in Genesis 3:21. We, human kind, are participants in an unfathomable cosmic war, a coup d’état, that manifest in the Kingdom of Elohim before Time began and that coup is causation for the creation of Time, matter, the Heavens, Earth, our complex human genome as a repository for the war between good v. evil; this, apart from the Kingdom where nothing impure is permitted to exist (Revelation 21:27).

In response to the cosmic, spiritual, battle that rages before us daily, Elohim ordained the Gospel of Jesus Christ as the “battle strategy” by which He would “destroy the works of the devil” (1 John 3:8b) and this battle strategy, the Gospel, was ordained “before Time began” (2 Timothy 1:8-10). Elohim’s decision to express the seriousness of sin through the shedding of innocent blood is His divine and sovereign choice as human life, its very existence in Time, is in the blood and Elohim has ordained that without the shedding of blood there is NO forgiveness of sin (Leviticus 17:11; Hebrews 10). Ultimately, Elohim sacrificed Himself via selfless love to destroy the works of the Devil (death-Hell-the grave) as only Elohim could accomplish this as only Elohim is truly Holy and Sinless.

The Gospel’s central theme, the shedding of innocent blood for the remission of sin by grace (unmerited favor) through faith-trust-belief in the Son, Jesus Christ, is foreshadowed throughout the Torah in types, people, prophecy, and specifically articulated in Leviticus 17:11 and practically foreshadowed through the blood sacrifices under the Law Covenant. Elohim sanctified a people group through the Patriarchy of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob (Israel), and through the Tribe of Judah, Elohim introduced His Messiah who entered Time specifically “to destroy the works of the Devil” through the Gospel (1 John 3:8b).

Elohim’s original eschatological plan was to send Messiah directly and exclusively to the “lost sheep of Israel” (Matthew 15:24) and proselytize them in the Gospel and commission Israel’s children to take the life-saving message of the Gospel, Elohim’s grace through faith, to the uttermost parts of the Earth via the Great Commission (Matthew 28); unfortunately, tragically, Israel’s children rejected Elohim’s eschatological plan by rejecting and murdering their Messiah, Jesus Christ.

Elohim’s original plan was for the horrors of Roman crucifixion to fulfill the mandates concerning the shedding of blood and it was Rome, Rome’s elite, and their hatred for the Jew and their fear of Jewish rebellion that would be the instrument by which Messiah would be sacrificed for sin, but Israel’s religious leadership, in their narcissistic lust for power and influence over Israel’s children, were the initiators of Messiah’s demise in collaboration with the Roman authorities. Due to Israel’s rejection and conspiratorial murder of Messiah and Israel’s insistence that Messiah’s blood be upon them and their children (Matthew 27:25), Elohim removed ordination of the Israeli people as sanctified messengers of the Gospel and gave the Gospel, the Great Commission (Matthew 28), to yearning and desiring Gentiles (Acts 13:46; Romans 9-11) who have been relatively faithful to take that divine message to the uttermost parts of the Earth.

Consequently, Israel’s children have been placed under a curse of deafness, hardheartedness, stubbornness, arrogance, defiance, to the will of Elohim and His Messiah, Jesus Christ (Romans 11:25); this curse being relevant to this very day as Israel’s children overwhelmingly seek righteousness through self-righteousness in vain attempts to keep the Law while rejecting the imputed righteousness of Messiah by faith (Romans 10). For this reason, only a “remnant” of Israel’s children will escape the “second death” in Hell due to unbelief (Isaiah 10:22; Romans 9:27; Romans 10); this, while Elohim’s divine plan concerning the Gospel, the shedding of innocent blood for the remission of sin, has been unhindered by mankind’s obstinance and alliance with the Devil for 6000-years.

God’s sovereignty; free will; sin and law…a rebuttal…

Not keeping the Law has nothing to do with free will but the curse on Adam’s genome that no human being other than God in flesh, Jesus Christ, could avoid and did so through the virgin birth (Romans 5:12). God’s sovereign will; therefore, God’s “choice” is that all men be saved and come to a knowledge of the Truth in Jesus Christ via the Gospel (1 Timothy 2:4; John 3:16) and God says that the lifting-up of Jesus at Golgotha will draw “all men” to Jesus (John 12:32) but Jesus tells us that only a “few” will choose to honor His sacrifice for them while “many” will “choose” to reject Him and die in Hell; this, by free will choice (Matthew 7:13-14).

Mankind’s free will choices and Elohim’s eschatological will for Time and eternity…one example of free will provided humanity on Day-6…

As I discussed with you earlier, Yahweh “chose” Israel’s children to be His, to be Holy as He his Holy and subsequently sanctified, set them apart, specifically for His eschatological purposes but Israel’s children “chose” to break Yahweh’s covenants (Deuteronomy 28) and Israel’s children broke Yahweh’s Commandments and chose to deny their eschatologically ordained mission to proselytize the entire Earth with the Gospel as per the Great Commission (Matthew 28) and thereby fulfill Yahweh’s promise to Abraham (Genesis 12:3b) but Israel would not and they rejected Messiah Yeshua and murdered Him upon a tree and demanded that Yeshua’s blood be upon them and their children (Matthew 27:27); therefore, though Yahweh desired that the “apple of His eye” (Israel) (Zechariah 2:8) be His representatives to the World and that Israel’s children follow the teaching of Messiah Yeshua who came to them specifically (Matthew 15:24)…Israel “chose” to dishonor Yahweh and the Son, Jesus Christ, and were subsequently cursed (Romans 11:25) and as a result of Israel’s “free will” choice to reject Messiah’s grace through faith and stubbornly pursue self-righteousness through Law (Romans 10), only a “remnant” of Israel’s children will escape the “second death” in Hell (Isaiah 10:22; Romans 9:27)…herein lies your example of man’s free will choices superseding the eschatological will of the Father; this, because free will is absolutely essential if love and intimacy with authenticity are to exist in Time and in Eternity.

Void volition, free will, relationship is nothing but nihilistic robotics and impotent, unfulfilling. God so loved that HE GAVE (John 3:16), why…because God desires victory over the Devil and God desires intimacy with His created beings and void free will, intimacy is NOT POSSIBLE!

Finally, to make a point, though Israel’s children rejected the Father’s eschatological will concerning the twelve-tribes via Messiah Yeshua and the Gospel, the Father’s will concerning the Gospel and His promise to Abraham was not stymied by Israel’s disobedience but the Father simply pivoted and gave the Gospel to the Gentile Nations who are taking that message and covenant of grace to the uttermost parts of the Earth (Acts 13:46); this, while Israel’s children overwhelming remain in spiritual defiance of Yahweh’s will and His Messiah.

Alternatives to Prisons?

The narcissistic thugs in our communities have no “right” to abuse the “rights” of others…simply because your parents and your education, or the lack thereof, has failed you, this societal deficit provides you no “right” to abuse the citizenry…

A response to those who are advocating for alternative forms of deterrence to criminal behavior than the current prison system which some in our society “feel” is too expensive and unnecessary in a majority of criminal prosecutions…

I policed this morally sick society for 31-years in uniform and in the 90’s the three-strike rule was in effect and during that tenure of sanity I was actually bored at times while on patrol as those criminals who regularly offended were incarcerated and the recidivist was incarcerated for life in serious circumstances. I can testify that incarceration works and the assurance of punishment for the criminal element is a very effective deterrent to re-offending and makes for a safer and happier America.

During those years or relative sanity on the streets of Houston, I participated in a State prison ministry and the young men I conversed with were serving some serious time for weapons offenses, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, drug offenses and the like…I am a staunch advocate of incarcerating the recidivist for their full sentencing period and if they continue in the criminal lifestyle…I advocate for life in prison…yes, it’s expensive but at least the societal cost in lives and money is mitigated by their confinement.

LOCK THEM UP; unfortunately, America’s law enforcement community has been castrated by lowered moral, ethical, physiological, psychological, standards in order to recruit LGBTQ and minorities and females along with a Progressive WOKE ideology of pacifism via hypocritical virtue signaling…America’s law enforcement, Federal-State-Local are as useless as the tits on a boar hog…shameful. The American citizen is poised to suffer under current Progressive – Marxist insanity…arm yourself well and stand your ground as Patriots.

Why did Jesus ask the rich young ruler,

18 And a ruler asked him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” 19 And Jesus said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone. (Luke 18:18-19; Mark 10:18).

Does Jesus deny His deity in these verses?

The rich young ruler approached Jesus seeking the Path to eternal life through works of self-righteousness…Jesus provided the young man his first opportunity to find life by acknowledging Jesus as Messiah-God-Savior by faith; therefore, Jesus asked the young man why he had called Jesus “good” teacher seeing that no one is truly “good” but God and if the young man had acknowledged Jesus as Messiah-God the discourse that followed concerning law, commandments, obedience, would have been unnecessary.

Jesus IS NOT denying His deity but confirming it and offering the young man a Path to eternal life by a public confession of faith in Him as Lord. Jesus’ following discourse with the young man is focused upon the necessity for “faith” – “belief” as opposed to works of the law for righteousness (a right standing) with our Heavenly Father.

Why the controversy surrounding the LGBTQ community serving in Biden’s administration?

When one is ethically confused and violates basic biological morality through advocacy for or participation in LGBTQ defilement, why are we surprised when other moral, ethical, decisions made by the sexually perverse tend toward lawlessness…why is this so difficult for HR departments, law enforcement administrations, to understand and properly deal with during the hiring process? If one is unable to adhere to the most basic of biological morality, why do you think they will adhere to sustainable morality in life’s other daily moral decisions?

“For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.” — James 2:10 (KJV) What does that mean?

James 2:10 expresses, articulates, the futility of seeking covenant relationship with the Father by obedience to Law, a Law of ordinances that only defines our sin void atonement (Romans 3:20).

James 2:10 means that no man will find righteousness (a right standing) with the Father through vain attempts to keep the Law (Romans 3:20-23) as only perfection will be accepted as blood atonement for our sin (Hebrews 10); therefore, someone other than a man born of the seed of Adam (Romans 5:12) must make intercession for us in order to appease the Father’s wrath and curse for sin (Ezekiel 18:20-24; Genesis 2:17).

Animal sacrifices could not assuage the Father’s wrath (Hebrews 10:4) but foreshadowed One who would come, a “spotless lamb” (John 1:29; 1 Peter 1:19), that would provide blood atonement for the sins of the World; therefore, the Son entered Time born of the virgin seed (Galatians 4:4; Genesis 3:15; Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:18-23) and walked among us in flesh for 33.5-years without sin (2 Corinthians 5:21) and offered Himself as blood atonement to fulfill the mandates of Leviticus 17:11 and the Father agrees by covenant promise (Hebrews 8:12) to forgive and forget the sin of the one who who believes-trusts in the Son, Jesus Christ, as Messiah believing that Jesus died to pay their sin-debt for them…a sin-debt they could never pay them self through self-righteousness via law-keeping (2 Corinthians 5:21; Romans 10:9-10; John 3; Galatians 2:16).

James 2:10 and Galatians 3:10 and Galatians 2:16 and Romans 3:20 and Romans 8 and 2 Corinthians 5:21 and Hebrews 10 and John 3 clearly articulate the truism that the only Path to LIFE and Truth in Time and Eternity is Jesus Christ as our Messiah (John 14:6; Acts 4:12).
