Why Homosexuality – Lesbianism – Transsexualism are the antithesis of a healthy/sustainable society

Homosexuality – Lesbianism – Transsexualism is a perversion of our Creator’s intent as He created them male and female in The Beginning and ordained the Biblical family unit as KEY to the survivability of human kind. It is innate within the conscience of mankind that the penis of a male does not belong in the rectum or mouth of another male nor does the genitalia of two-women bumping and grinding and licking together conform to the intended sexual act between one-man and one-woman for life…this is perversion of the natural order.

Nor does the healthy mind believe that a woman can become a man and vice versa…this is demonic deception that undermines the health, welfare, stability, of any society; therefore, a healthy society naturally concerns itself with its longevity and sustainability; therefore, to tolerate or advocate for sexual perversion and the instruction and support for same in the public square, the public school classroom, through media, is self-destruction, shame, immoral, embarrassing to any people who desire a wholesome life, a strong family unit, a nation under girded by our Creator’s blessing and protection.

The Deception of Torah Worship…

Concerning the unending deadly deception/obsession of Torah-Law Worship…

The Holy Spirit is DONE with Torah-Law failure (Hebrews 8:7); hence, the New Covenant arbitrated by the Spirit via the Gospel via the conscience through sanctification; Torah Law is NOTHING but a reiteration, with some specificity for the Hebrew Tribes, of the moral law provided the angels and human kind as an arbiter of free will.

Torah worship is a spiritual illness of futility and self-righteousness and death as the Torah only defined your sin but provided no atonement (Romans 3:20)…the Torah is incomplete (Romans 8+)…it was replaced by grace and faith through the Son, not works of the Law that condemns the soul to Hell through self-righteousness (Romans 3:20; Galatians 2:16; Romans 8; Galatians 3:10; Isaiah 64:6).

Law v. Faith – which is eternally relevant, superior, and why?

Law v. Faith – which is eternally relevant, superior and why?

It is not Biblical or relevant to the New Covenant to strive after letters etched in stone or scratched upon parchment when these letters are relevant for the rebellious, the ungodly, the self-righteous (1 Timothy 1:9) because the one who has trusted in Jesus is freed from the “law of sin and death” (Romans 8; Galatians 2:16) as they are endowed by the indwelling Holy Spirit who walks them daily in the process of sanctification where the Spirit teaches them, guides them, tutors them, in the Father’s will and the Spirit’s leadership via the conscience via the new nature (2 Corinthians 5:17) in Christ is FAR SUPERIOR to letters scratched upon parchment, etched in cold stone, because letters are subjective, controversial, easily absorbed-rationalized in a seared conscience and ultimately disregarded, but the Spirit via the new-nature (2 Corinthians 5:17) is undeniable, unrelenting, faithful, ever-present and walks the faithful in Jesus in sanctification and secures them, forever (John 14:16); therefore, I choose to listen to the Spirit and NOT worry about letters that could never provide me life or enduring peace with my Heavenly Father (Romans 5:1; Romans 6:14-18).

Jesus as our Sabbath’s Rest in the New Covenant…

Concerning Jesus as our Sabbath’s Rest… (Hebrews 4)

We rest in Jesus from pursuit of self-righteousness through the works of the law that could never save but only condemned through the defining of our culpability before the Father void atonement (Romans 3:20; Galatians 2:16); therefore, Jesus offers us a “rest” by faith that the law could never provide (Luke 4:18; Matthew 11:28-20) as the law enslaved and killed by the letter but the Spirit gives life through faith in Jesus as our Lord (2 Corinthians 3:6).

All that the Sabbath edict foreshadowed is fulfilled in Messiah by faith (Colossians 2:16); therefore, we don’t pursue righteousness through days, edicts, dietary restrictions i.e. law-keeping but by faith in Jesus who is the fulfillment of the Law for all who believe and receive the imputation of Jesus’ righteousness by faith (Romans 6:14; Romans 8; Colossians 2:16; Galatians 2:16; 2 Corinthians 5:21).

To the Jew-Israelite who reject Christianity as representative of Yeshua’s teachings…

To the Jew-Israelite who reject Christianity as representative of Yeshua’s teachings…

The Jews, Jacob’s children, were to be proselytized by Messiah as per Genesis 12:3b and anointed by the Holy Spirit (Ezekiel 36:27) to go into all the World as per the Great Commission (a blessing to every family of the Earth) and proclaim the Father’s grace through faith in the Son, Yeshua, concerning imputed righteousness and covenant relationship with the Father, forever; unfortunately, Jacob’s children rejected the New Covenant of Grace and insisted that Law observance was the path to righteousness through self-righteousness; Jacob’s children blasphemed their Messiah and the Holy Spirit; Jacob’s children falsely accused their Messiah of blasphemy as Jesus proclaimed His deity; Jacob’s children conspired with the Roman authorities to unmercifully flog-torture their Messiah and ultimately murdered Him upon a tree via suffocation while demanding that Messiah’s blood be upon them and their children; hence, the Jewish blood curse that is relevant to this very day resulting in a veil of unbelief and a hardened heart that wars against the Gospel of Freedom and Peace in Messiah; therefore, the words of the prophet Hosea have been realized through the transference of the Gospel message from Jacob’s children to the Gentiles in the first-Century via the Great Commission (Matthew 28; Romans 11:25)…

25 As indeed he says in Hosea, Those who were not my people I will call ‘my people,’ and her who was not beloved I will call ‘beloved.’ 26 And in the very place where it was said to them, ‘You are not my people,’ there they will be called ‘sons of the living God.’

1 John 1:9…confusion, the Christian, forgiveness, the conscience?

1 John 1:9…The Christian, sin, forgiveness, the conscience…

“9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous, so that He will forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” 1 John 1:9 (NASB)

For the Christian; that is, those who have entered into covenant relationship with the Father by faith in Jesus as their Lord and have received the indwelling Holy Spirit as their Guarantor of covenant relationship (John 3; Ephesians 1:13-14), this person redeemed, forgiven, reconciled to the Father by faith in the Son has been forgiven of past-present-future sin by covenant promise (Hebrews 8:12); therefore, the Father chooses via His sovereign will to not see our sin but only sees the perfection, the righteousness, of His dear Son in us through faith in Jesus as Lord (2 Corinthians 5:21).

With that said, in John’s first-epistle (1 John 1:9) he is writing to the faithful in Jesus and assuring them that when they fall short of what the Spirit is guiding them to do via the conscience via sanctification, they can find solace and peace and restoration of intimacy with the Father by acknowledging their failure, their sin; in essence, they apologize to the Father for their failure and they do this NOT to reaffirm their salvation or covenant relationship that is secure forever by promise through the Spirit (Ephesians 1:13-14; John 10:28-30) but the Christian apologizes to the Father for their OWN conscience’ sake so that intimacy and peace with the Father can flow uninterrupted by a guilty conscience, a beleaguered spirit, absent the joy and peace our Lord desires we have (Romans 5:1).

1 John 1:9, provided by John through the Holy Spirit, is written for the faithful in Jesus as a method to clear our conscience and restore joy and intimacy much like we would our best friend if we offended them in some way; after all, a sincere apology goes a long way to reestablishing intimacy and trust and peace…so it is with our relationship with the Father. If the Father were to respond to us verbally, He would ask, “what sin?”

Jesus advises that we enter through the “narrow gate” leading to life…

Jesus advises to enter through the “narrow gate” leading to life; therefore, you must acknowledge the “Gate Keeper”….

“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.” Matthew 7:13 (NASB)

If one desires to enter the “narrow gate,” they must do the Father’s will and the Father’s will comes with no exception, no addendums or self-righteousness…

Fasting and works and obedience and Sabbaths and Temples and Rabbis and self-righteousness in law-keeping will NOT earn you passage through the “narrow gate” nor will these works of self-righteousness earn you the Father’s forgiveness or even His attention; in fact, until you have done the Father’s will through the Son, the Father does not listen to your prayers nor is your self-righteousness anything but filthy rags (John 9:31; Isaiah 64:6); for all intent and purposes, you are a dead-man walking as far as the Father is concerned (Ephesians 2:1).

If you desire the Father’s forgiveness and promises of life relevant to the New Covenant you must first enter into Covenant Relationship with Him through the Son, Jesus Christ, and become “family” by faith in the Father’s will as there is no other Way through the “narrow gate” (John 14:6).

Law v. Faith, the Father, Eternal Life, your choice…

Law v. Faith, the Father, Eternal Life, your choice…

If you desire to “live by the Commandments” and please the Father you must keep them in absolute perfection; otherwise, you are cursed and condemned (Deuteronomy 27:26; Galatians 3:10); unfortunately for you, you’ve already violated the Law, the Commandments, as you’re a sinner by nature (Romans 3:23; Romans 5:12); therefore, you are guilty of violating the entire Law (James 2:10); therefore, your only hope for life in the Kingdom of God is acknowledging your sin before the Father, acknowledging your need for a Redeemer and confessing-believing-trusting with a sincere heart Jesus Christ as your Lord-Messiah-Redeemer who died for you to pay your sin-debt owed the Father and thereby receive His righteousness and perfection through perfect obedience to the Law imputed into your life by grace (unmerited favor) through faith and enter into covenant relationship with the Father (John 3; 1 John 2:23) and receive the indwelling Holy Spirit (Ephesians 1;13-14) who will guide you daily in God’s will through sanctification (Galatians 5:16); this eternal relationship elicits righteous behavior through the Spirit via the conscience that actually pleases the Father as you’re now His child and you are His family by covenant promise (Hebrews 8:12; 2 Corinthians 5:21).

6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Do not be amazed that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’

The Legalist-Jew-Israelite-Religionist…a burden to the Kingdom of God…

The Legalist-Jew-Israelite-Religionist…a burden to the Kingdom of God…

Why do you people obfuscate and not “think” and reason? … Because you’re not born of the Spirit but of self-righteousness.

Christianity, those born again by faith in Jesus as Lord, is controlled by the Holy Spirit and not the condemnation and hopelessness of law (Romans 8; Romans 3:20-23; Galatians 3:10; Galatians 2:16).

The Spirit who indwells the faithful in Messiah Jesus controls the heart and administers the will of the Father in the lives of the redeemed through the conscience…this is NOT enslavement to laws, edicts, customs, days, food, temples, traditions (Romans 6:14)…this is intimacy with our Creator through faith having established covenant relationship that endures forever (Matthew 26:28; Hebrews 8:12; John 3).

The New Covenant established in Messiah Jesus’ blood (Matthew 26:28) is forgiveness and peace with our God through relationship not enslavement (Romans 5:1). Your law is for the lawless (1 Timothy 1:9), not those who have received the imputed righteousness of Jesus by faith (Romans 6:14). You weary me, significantly. You are a burden to the Kingdom.

Commandment Keeping in the New Covenant?

Commandment Keeping in the New Covenant. Revelation 12:17; 14:12; 22:14

The Jew, Israelite, Hebrew Roots disciple, SDA, legalist, quote Greek Scripture denoting Commandment Keeping by “saints” as mandatory in the New Covenant and beyond…what is Truth?

Only those who are “saints” (holy ones) by faith via the imputed righteousness of Jesus as their Lord; these, having received the anointing of the Holy Spirit as Guarantor of covenant relationship with the Father by faith in Jesus will endure to the end and obey God’s will and LIVE (Ephesians 1:13-14; John 3; Matthew 24:13).

Moral Law, the foundation for the Law Covenant (Romans 2:14-15), is for the “lawless” by necessity as an arbiter of free will (1 Timothy 1:9); the Spirit’s leadership through sanctification in the New Covenant is spiritual law for the faithful who are led by the Spirit via the conscience in sanctification, those who have been set-apart by faith in Jesus from the lawless for life in Time and Eternity (Galatians 5:16).

Only those who possess the Holy Spirit possess the anointing to “obey” God’s will and receive God’s favorable acknowledgment for same. If you’re a Jew or an Israelite or a legalist who interpret Commandment Keeping Scripture from an unredeemed perspective i.e. you’re absent the Spirit by faith in Yeshua, your theology, your exegesis, your eschatology, is skewed and it is in error and impotent and you condemn yourself to a lifeless existence in Time and in Eternity in unbelief (John 8:24).

It’s your “choice,” life in the Spirit or death in a facade of Law Keeping void the Holy Spirit’s anointing (2 Corinthians 3:6; Romans 3:20; Galatians 3:10; Galatians 2:16).
