Islam’s “Allah” is Satan masquerading as an angel of light via the Arabic moon god. Islam was founded by a 7th-Century nomadic demon possessed pedophile murdering thief named Muhammad who plagiarized the Torah to construct the Quran. Islam is a demonic cult of death.
Islam’s root is the act of adultery between Abraham and Hagar producing the “wild ass” of a man named Ishmael, the father of the Islmaelites who are the progenitor of Muhammad. Islam is Satan’s presence within the Realm of Time.
Sabbaths, days, diets, are part of a bygone covenant, they have ZERO relevance in the New Covenant (Hebrews 8:7; 2 Corinthians 3). The New Covenant is not comprised of things “to do” but in Whom we believe by faith (John 3; Romans 3:1; Hebrews 11:6). The New Covenant is a Covenant of intimate relationship established by faith in Messiah Jesus and a daily walk in sanctification via the indwelling Holy Spirit where there is peace with the Father, eternally (John 3; Galatians 5; Romans 5:1).
If you worship at Sinai you will perish in your sin; If you worship at Golgotha, you will live, eternally.
The Sinai Decalogue is beautiful though it’s simply a fragmented, segmented, portion of Elohim’s eternal Spiritual Law written upon the heart; Sinai portrays via codification Elohim’s righteousness and His desires for Israel’s sanctification and holiness as Jacob’s children are a people group through whom Elohim endeavored to bring forth His Messiah via Judah and the Gospel ordained “before Time began” (2 Timothy 1:8-10); this, solely for eschatological purposes concerning Messiah’s primary purpose of “destroying the works of the devil” (1 John 3:8b). Sinai is not to be worshiped nor is Sinai the path to eternal life with Elohim but Sinai is an eschatological roadmap relevant to sanctification for Israel pointing them to their need for Messiah by faith (Galatians 3:24).
All Law is summarized by the two-greatest Commandments (Matthew 22:36-40); Jesus articulated the greatest Commandments to those under the Law Covenant as Jesus came to those under Law to proselytize them in the Gospel of Grace via a New Covenant (Matthew 15:24; Galatians 4:4). A Gospel of Grace that was expounded upon by Messiah’s chosen Minister of the Gospel, Saul of Tarsus AKA Paul the Apostle (Galatians 1:11-17).
Fulfilling the Law in the New Covenant,
In the New Covenant of Grace, the “fruit of the Spirit” is the fulfillment of all Law, not letters or days or diets (Galatians 5:22-23). In the New Covenant, Christians serve through a redeemed conscience (2 Corinthians 5:17) that is arbitrated by the indwelling Holy Spirit (Ephesians 1:13-14; Galatians 5:16) via a Spiritual Law written upon the heart (Romans 2:14-15; Jeremiah 31; Ezekiel 36) and divine fruit is produced by the Spirit through the faithful in Jesus (Galatians 5:22-23); therefore, Christians don’t worship Sinai or Moses as their purposes have passed (2 Corinthians 3; Hebrews 8:7).
Conclusion,
The Covenant of Law was given solely to Jacob’s children and those seeking refuge in that theocracy and it is an incomplete Covenant as it only defines one’s sin and culpability void atonement (Romans 3:20; Hebrews 8:7; Galatians 2:16)). If you worship exclusively at Sinai, you will die in your sin (Romans 3:20; Galatians 2:16); If you worship at Golgotha by faith, you will live (John 14:6).
Discussion,
What people don’t understand is the differentiation in application of law and the form of law that exists between the Law Covenant and the Covenant of Grace.
Sinai – Moses: Wholly insufficient as instruments of righteousness,
Sinai – Moses are codified fragments of the eternal Spiritual Law and are therefore wholly insufficient as instruments of righteousness with Elohim. Sinai – Moses were given Israel for sanctification and eschatological purposes concerning Elohim’s efforts to thwart Israel’s compromise with Baal and Molech so that Messiah, the Gospel, the Great Commission, would manifest in Time with the sole intent of “destroying the works of the Devil” (1 John 3:8b; Genesis 3:15) via the Gospel, a battle strategy ordained “before Time began” (2 Timothy 1:8-10) and the “Great Commission” as the vessel through which Satan’s defeat and eternal life by grace through faith in the Messiah would be proclaimed to all the Earth in preparation for the Tribulation, the Millennial Kingdom, the Judgment, the destruction of the Earth by fire, the placement and realization of the New Jerusalem.
Sinai and Moses – temporary for eschatological purposes,
Sinai and Moses are a fragmented codification of the eternal Spiritual Law and they were never intended to be elements of Salvation or a Key-Path to eternal covenant with Elohim as these codified laws pointed Israel’s children to their need for a Messiah by faith (Galatians 3:24); Sinai and Moses demanded perfection (James 2:10) from a sin-nature (Romans 5:12) that could never comply; therefore Sinai and Moses only defined culpability (Romans 3:20) void atonement (Galatians 2:16); therefore, Sinai and Moses only curse the one who seeks righteousness (a right standing) with the Father through them apart from or as a supplement to faith, alone (Galatians 3:10).
The New Covenant Law,
Elohim, via New Covenant promise (Ezekiel 36; Hebrews 8; Jeremiah 31), employs the eternal Spiritual Law (Romans 2:14-15; Romans 8:2) written upon the heart of humanity on Day-6 and through the Gift of the indwelling Holy Spirit (Ephesians 1:13-14), Elohim enlivens, makes applicable, that Spiritual Law in the heart of the redeemed in Jesus by faith (John 3). It is through the redeemed conscience (2 Corinthians 5:17) that the Holy Spirit produces fruits of righteousness (Galatians 5) and thereby guides the faithful in Jesus to fulfill all Law as there is NO LAW against the fruits of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-24); after all, Jesus did say “You will know them by their fruit” (Matthew 7:15-20).
Conclusion of the matter,
Therefore, Sinai – Moses have very little relevance in the New Covenant concerning Law and obedience to same. Christians are not obligated to Sinai, Moses, Days, Diets (Romans 6:14; Colossians 2:16). If one desires an applicable understanding concerning the commingling of Law and Grace and Faith, they must look to the work of Jesus at Golgotha, Messiah’s shed blood as atonement for sin and His imputed – gifted righteousness only available by faith in Jesus as Messiah (2 Corinthians 5:21).
Christian response,
Human pride and a desire for self-worth and relevance clouds, is a stumbling block, to understanding Elohim’s eschatological objectives for the temporary Realm of Time, a physical realm constrained by physics. Human Kind does not possess the cognitive capacity to comprehend the love, intimacy, cherished relationship, that exists between Elohim and His beautiful angelic creation.
Human Kind is an entity of relevance concerning Elohim’s restoration of holiness and order and peace to His eternal Kingdom that was disrupted by a rebellious cherub angel, the Great Kingdom War that is causation for the Genesis creation narrative, the construction and Triune collaboration concerning the creation of the complex human genome.
Human Kind places a distant second in Elohim’s eschatological priorities but Elohim has chosen to provide compassion and grace and mercy to those through whom He is currently employing as instruments of an unfathomable eschatological plan that is centered, acutely focused, upon maintaining volitional love and intimacy with His cherished angelic creation, those faithful angels that did not follow Satan in the rebellion.
Eschatology must be fulfilled,
Elohim’s eschatological will must come to pass as the coming Tribulation Era will set the stage for the Millennial Kingdom of Messiah Jesus. The comprehensive peace that is realized during the Millennial Kingdom, an all-encompassing peace due Satan’s confinement apart from humanity for 1000-years (Revelation 20:2), will provide an irrefutable example, a comparison/contrast, for the faithful angelic creation, those angels that did not follow Lucifer in the rebellion, of why obedience to the Father’s will is vastly superior to rebellion, covetousness and defilement and self-righteousness.
The Millennial Kingdom’s universal peace will provide a stark comparison/contrast to the previous 6000-years of human horror, war, pestilence, death, suffering, unconscionable savagery, all led by, initiated by and rooted in the deception of Satan (John 8:44; Ephesians 6). This comparison/contrast will also act as a bulwark against future rebellion in the Kingdom.
Post Millennial Kingdom, Judgment…
Then, at the culmination of the 1000-year reign of Messiah, Satan will be released from confinement and will immediately proceed to deceive the Nations once again and the Nations will turn against Elohim and desire to engage in war but at this juncture Elohim will destroy His enemies by fire and immediately subsequent this final conflict (Revelation 20:7-9) the Judgment of Satan will manifest (Rev 20:10); then, the Judgment of the Condemned (Rev 20:11-15); then, the Earth and the Heavens will be destroyed by fire (a physical Hell for the rebellious of humanity 2 Peter 3:10), the old Earth will be purified, remolded, restructured, and a New Earth and New Heaven will manifest which will be the resting place, the eternal abode, of the New Jerusalem where the redeemed in Jesus will serve our resurrected Lord in resurrected bodies fashioned after His glorious body, eternally (Revelation 20-22; Philippians 3:21).
In conclusion,
Our entire existence within the temporary Realm of Time, constrained by physics, has manifest in response to the Great Kingdom War that was initiated by a rebellious cherub angel (Ezekiel 28:11+; Revelation 12:7-9; Luke 10:18) and our genome, the creation narrative, this Earth, Time, physics, are a temporary repository for that Kingdom War, a spiritual war partially constrained by physics; this, as the defilement within the Kingdom could not be allowed to continue as “nothing impure” is permitted therein (Rev 21:27).
This is why the major player and causation concerning the Kingdom War, a rebellious cherub angel, is first introduced in Genesis 3 possessing the attributes of a “serpent” and the declaration of war is declared in Genesis 3:15 and the battle strategy to destroy the works of Satan via the Messiah (1 John 3:8b), the Gospel, is first pictured in Genesis 3:21, a battle strategy, the Gospel, that was ordained “before Time began” (2 Timothy 1:8-10).
This is a very brief explanation of “why?”
Discussion,
Sinai is but a fragmented, codified, version of the comprehensive Spiritual Law; the Spiritual Law that Elohim has employed as an arbiter of free will subsequent the creation of the angels. Sinai is beautiful and partially expresses Elohim’s holiness and divine expectations; much can be learned from Sinai, but Sinai is incomplete as it simply addresses Elohim’s concerns for Jacob’s children and their inevitable compromise with demonic paganism; specifically, the vile worship of Baal and Molech as demonstrated by the pagan tribes surrounding Jacob’s children that relentlessly sought Israel’s compromise.
Sinai was given the Hebrew Tribes for eschatological protection via sanctification; this, to Jacob’s children, exclusively; this, as Elohim was concerned that Israel’s children would be disqualified as progenitors of the Messiah like those of the Adamic and Noahic generations who sold their soul to Satan and his demonic angels resulting in the annihilation of human kind save eight (Genesis 6; Romans 1:18-32).
Are Christians seeking to replace Sinai?
No one is seeking to replace Sinai but Sinai is not Elohim’s eschatological destination; Sinai, Moses, Torah, were roadmaps pointing to Elohim’s objective (Galatians 3:24-25); that is, the “destruction of Satan’s works” via the coming Messiah (1 John 3:8b; Genesis 3:15) via a battle strategy introduced as the “Gospel” which was ordained “before Time began” (2 Timothy 1:8-10; Genesis 3:21).
Worshiping at Sinai to the exclusion of Golgotha,
You represent those who will perish at the foot of Mount Sinai, who serve the golden calf (works – idolatry) as opposed to the Messiah as you seek your own righteousness via self-righteousness via a Law that only defines your sin void atonement (Romans 3:20; Romans 9); a Law that demands absolute perfection (James 2:10) from your sin-nature, the Adamic sin-nature that can never adequately comply (Romans 3:23; 5:12) and a Law that “curses” you as you perish in your sin in unbelief (Galatians 3:10; John 8:24).
Your only Hope,
Your only Hope of escaping the “second death” in Hell due to your sin is through repentance and sincere faith-belief-trust in Jesus Christ as the One, the Messiah, who kept the Law for you in perfection, shed His innocent blood to atone for your sin and offers you His righteousness in exchange for your sin by faith in Him as Messiah and receive forgiveness via New Covenant promise (John 3; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Hebrews 8:12).
Discussion,
The Law that governs the New Covenant is the same Spiritual Law that has been relevant as an arbiter of free will subsequent the creation of the angels (Romans 2:14-15). The Decalogue, the Commandments given at Sinai, are but a mere fragment of the Spiritual Law and thus they are wholly insufficient for attaining righteousness (a right standing) with Elohim. Why can’t you understand that Sinai was given Israel for sanctification and eschatological purposes for a special time and dispensation but Sinai is NOT the destination; Sinai and Torah and Moses were simply an eschatological roadmap to the Messiah and the New Covenant, the Gospel and the Great Commission. Jesus as Messiah was and is the “Destination.”
Cults – the SDA – the Decalogue, Why is it so difficult for you to understand that the Christian does NOT live their daily life enslaved to letters, laws, days, diets (Romans 6:14) as these were elements of a bygone covenant (Hebrews 8:7); a covenant that was simply a roadmap but never intended to be the destination (Galatians 3:24)? I understand that those enslaved to the cults promulgating a works salvation; those enslaved to the Cult of Seventh Day Adventism are precariously obsessed with the 4th-Commandment, a ceremonial edict given specifically to Israel for sanctification purposes (Ezekiel 20:12) but your obsessions war against faith and truth and life.
The “Law” of the New Covenant, Spiritual Law – fruit,
The New Covenant, the Spiritual Law written upon the heart (Romans 2:14-15), the “Law of the Spirit of Life (Romans 8:2) is enlivened, made anew, revitalized, made applicable, by the indwelling Holy Spirit via a redeemed conscience through faith in Messiah Jesus (2 Corinthians 5:17). It is the indwelling Holy Spirit, as the Arbiter of that Spiritual Law (Galatians 5:16), who employs the redeemed conscience and thereby produces “fruits of righteousness” that fulfills ALL LAW (Galatians 5) – this New Covenant obedience being infinitely superior to the Old Law Covenant’s Sinai and Mosaic Laws that mandated perfection (James 2:10) from a sin-nature that could never comply (Romans 3:23; 5:12) and “cursed” all who sought that Law for righteousness with Elohim (Galatians 3:10).
Why is this New Covenant so difficult for you and those of you who can’t understand Elohim’s eschatological purposes that are infinitely greater than Sinai, Israel, Moses, Torah? These were simply a “tutor” to point Jacob’s children to their need for an Intercessor by faith (Galatians 3:24) and the Christian’s “tutor” is the Holy Spirit, NOT the Law Covenant (1 John 2:27)! Why do you suggest a bygone Covenant of Law remains valid and applicable in a New Covenant rooted in faith and grace (Hebrews 8:7; Romans 7:6; Romans 3:21)? Christians don’t worship at Sinai, Christians worship at Golgotha.
It is true that Elohim’s Law expresses His righteousness but does righteousness flow from the Law, is righteousness attained through the Law or by faith (Romans 7:12)? What is righteousness?
Discussion,
Righteousness is a “right standing,” a divine relationship, with Elohim through faith. If righteousness came through the Law, Jesus died needlessly (Galatians 2:21). Obedience equating to righteousness works only honors the Father when those works are performed through the Spirit during daily Christian sanctification; this, subsequent salvation by faith in Jesus as Messiah; otherwise, works for “righteousness” sake are interpreted by Elohim as a “filthy garment” (Isaiah 64:6) and in the literal Hebrew “a bloody menstrual cloth.“
No flesh will be justified in the presence of Elohim through the Law (Romans 3:20; Galatians 2:16) and anyone who performs “works” seeking righteousness (a right standing) with Elohim apart from faith, first, in the Messiah, Jesus Christ, will be denied access to the Kingdom as Jesus will plainly tell you, “Apart from me you who work iniquity, I never knew you” (Matthew 7:21:23).
Elohim’s Law: A double-edged sword,
Elohim’s Law, both the codified and spiritual, is a double-edged sword as it defines Elohim’s righteousness by simultaneously defining what is “sin;” therefore, the Law does not engender righteousness but culpability; therefore, no flesh will be justified through the Law as Law is the knowledge of sin (Romans 3:20; Galatians 2:16; Galatians 3:10; James 2:10) and the Law is relevant to the unrighteous, rebellious, man or woman, not the righteous by faith (1 Timothy 1:9)
One Divine Righteousness available to mankind,
The ONLY righteousness you will attain in this life constrained by Time, physics, a body of death in the Adamic nature (Romans 5:12), is the purity, the righteousness, the sinless perfection, of Jesus IMPUTED/GIFTED over your life by faith in Jesus as your Messiah (2 Corinthians 5:21). You don’t “work” for nor can you earn your righteousness (right standing) with the Father but Jesus accomplished that for you through His perfect obedience to the Law (John 8:45-47) and His shed blood as atonement for your sin at Golgotha (Matthew 26:28; 1 Peter 1:18-19); therefore, you receive an imputed-gifted righteousness by “faith” in the righteous One, Jesus our Messiah. This truism was first demonstrated for you in Genesis 3:21 (Hebrews 11).
Concerning the Decalogue etched in stone; Law of Moses scratched upon parchment – righteousness?
The Sinai Decalogue was given solely to Israel and sojourners with them seeking refuge in that theocracy. The Sinai Decalogue is but a mere fragment of Elohim’s eternal spiritual law and it is wholly inadequate for righteousness, but Sinai’s Commandments were given for sanctification concerning thwarting Israel’s compromise with Baal and Molech – demonic paganism; this, for eschatological purposes concerning the Messiah, the Gospel, the Great Commission; simply stated, Elohim did not desire a repeat of the horrific failures and demonic compromise demonstrated by the Adamic and Noahic generations disqualifying them as progenitors of the Messiah and Messiah’s eschatological purposes; therefore, Elohim set-forth codified, relevant, fragmented, edits directly addressing what Jacob’s children were to do and obey in order to be holy as Elohim is Holy (Leviticus 21:8; Exodus 19:6; 1 Peter 1:16).
Law – Righteousness and Christianity,
Christians, those who have entered into New Covenant relationship with Elohim by faith in Messiah Jesus, do NOT live their daily life thinking about, contemplating, Torah or Sinai or Moses or days or diets; Christians walk and live by the Holy Spirit who indwells them by New Covenant promise (Ezekiel 36:27) and the Spirit produces divine fruit through the His anointing, “fruit of the Spirit” that fulfills all Law (Ephesians 1:13-14; Galatians 5:16-23; Matthew 7:15-20).
Old Covenant v. New Covenant – Two unique Covenants with completely different applications of Law but one unified method of attaining “righteousness” with Elohim; that is, FAITH (Hebrews 11; John 3; Ephesians 2:8-9).
Premise,
Christians are NOT under the Law Covenant, Torah, Sinai, Moses, laws, rules, diets, days, etched in stone or scratched upon parchment (Romans 6:14; Romans 7:6). Christianity is the New Covenant; the application of the Law in the New Covenant is through the indwelling Holy Spirit (Ephesians 1:13-14; Galatians 5:16; Ezekiel 36:27) via a redeemed conscience (2 Corinthians 5:17) and the eternal spiritual law written upon the heart at conception, infused within the human genome on Day-6 (Romans 2:14-15; Hebrews 10:16; Ezekiel 11:19; Jeremiah 31:33).
Discussion,
The New Covenant was foreordained to be realized within the Realm of Time via the children of Israel and Messiah came to them, specifically (Matthew 15:24), to proselytize Jacob’s children in the Gospel, the New Covenant, the Great Commission, where a radically different application of Law from that of the Law Covenant would be realized through the indwelling Holy Spirit who would be given as the Seal and Guarantor of New Covenant relationship with the Father through faith in the Son, the Messiah, Jesus Christ.
In the New Covenant, the law written upon the heart (Romans 2:14-15), infused within the human genome on Day-6 of creation, would be enlivened by the indwelling Holy Spirit and that eternal spiritual law would be made methodically applicable to the redeemed in Jesus through a redeemed conscience (2 Corinthians 5:17) and through this spiritual catalyst of the enlivened spiritual law fused with the redeemed conscience (the new creation in Messiah), the indwelling Holy Spirit would produce “fruits of righteousness” (Galatians 5; Matthew 7:15-20) through the Christian and this fruit would fulfill the righteous mandates of all Law, that which was codified in stone at Sinai, scratched upon parchment by Moses and the eternal spiritual law infused within the human genome on Day-6.
The New Covenant and the Rock of Stumbling for the Jew and Israelite…
It is true that the New Covenant’s ordination was to manifest through Israel’s children as was the Great Commission and Jesus came to them specifically for that purpose (Matthew 15:24); unfortunately, tragically, Israel’s children rejected the Great Commission, Israel’s children rejected the New Covenant’s Gospel and its Messenger, the Messiah, Jesus Christ; therefore, due to the critical eschatological necessity for the New Covenant’s Gospel and its Messenger, the atonement for sin, the defeat of Satan at Golgotha (1 John 3:8b; Genesis 3:15), Elohim had no eschatological default other than delegating the New Covenant, the Gospel, the Great Commission, to the Gentile (Romans 11:25). The New Covenant and its Administrator, the Messiah, Yeshua, has become a stumbling block to the unbelieving Jew and Israelite who will ultimately perish in the “second death” due their absence of saving faith (Romans 9:33).
Israel’s children failed Elohim yet the imperative of Satan’s defeat at Golgotha through Messiah, the blood atonement for sin through the Messiah, MUST BE FULFILLED in order for all things to culminate in That Day, the Tribulation; the Millennial Kingdom; the Judgment of the Condemned; the destruction of the Earth and Heavens by fire; the purification of the Earth and the creation of the New Earth; the divine manifestation of the New Jerusalem.
Elohim will not be mocked nor will His eschatological purposes concerning the defeat of Satan, the destruction of the Devil’s works via Messiah at Golgotha (1 John 3:8b) via the Gospel and the reestablishment of order, peace, holiness, to His Kingdom be thwarted by a hard-hearted, obstinate, people who refuse to believe by faith that Yeshua is Messiah. Israel is welcome in the New Covenant but Torah and Sinai and Moses are simply eschatological roadmaps and NOT the destination (Galatians 3:24; 4:4). Yeshua is the Destination and only by faith in Yeshua as Messiah will Israel find life in the Kingdom, the New Jerusalem (John 14:6).
The New Covenant
Jeremiah 31:31–34
31 “Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah, 32 not like the covenant that I made with their fathers on the day when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, my covenant that they broke, though I was their husband, declares the Lord. 33 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord: I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 34 And no longer shall each one teach his neighbor and each his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest, declares the Lord. For I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.”
Ezekiel 11
19 And I will give them one heart, and a new spirit I will put within them. I will remove the heart of stone from their flesh and give them a heart of flesh, 20 that they may walk in my statutes and keep my rules and obey them. And they shall be my people, and I will be their God. 21 But as for those whose heart goes after their detestable things and their abominations, I will 4 bring their deeds upon their own heads, declares the Lord God.”
Ezekiel 36
24 I will take you from the nations and gather you from all the countries and bring you into your own land. 25 I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean from all your uncleannesses, and from all your idols I will cleanse you. 26 And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you. And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. 27 And I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes and be careful to obey my rules.
Conclusion,
Each of the articles defining the uniqueness of the New Covenant are fulfilled through Messiah’s Gospel, His blood atonement (Matthew 26:28) and its application in the life of the redeemed through faith in Jesus today; again, unfortunately, Israel disqualified itself from the New Covenant due unbelief (Romans 9-10-11; Matthew 23:37).
What Elohim foreordained for Israel was rejected by Israel’s children; therefore, the articles and promises of the New Covenant have been delegated to the Gentile until the fullness of the Gentiles have entered the Kingdom of Elohim (Romans 11:25). Jesus is the Door to this Kingdom (John 10:9) and he or she who enters therein by faith in Jesus as their Messiah will be saved from the “second death” in Hell (John 3; John 14:6; Revelation 20:11-15).
“There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.”
Discussion,
It is the natural propensity, inclination, of human kind, the pride of life, the narcissistic rendering of the Adamic sin-nature, to be self-reliant, self-sustaining, introverted and self-righteous possessing the innate ability to cover and conceal and atone for one’s own sin; this is the “way” that seems right to a man or woman; therefore, the spiritual truism of reliance upon a “god” or a supernatural being for forgiveness of sin, sustainability of life, wisdom, discernment, is preposterous and the logic of a weak minded fool, but Jesus and the Holy Spirit teach that the humble shall be exalted while the prideful shall be made low and shameful (Matthew 23:12; 1 Peter 5:5-6); Jesus teaches that unless one humbles them self and becomes child-like in their faith, they will not see the Kingdom of Elohim (Matthew 18:4); Jesus teaches that He is the ONLY WAY to life in the Kingdom (John 14:6) and that eternal New Covenant relationship with the Father is established only through the profound yet simplistic reality of “faith” (trust-belief) and that void “faith” it is NOT possible to please Elohim (Ephesians 2:8-9; Hebrews 11:6); therefore, the way that seems right to prideful, narcissistic, self-righteous, humanity is the way of death but the Way of “faith” apart from self-righteousness is the Way of everlasting life and Jesus is the “Rock of stumbling” for the natural man and there are “many” who will die in Hell due to the sin of self-righteousness which naturally manifests in denial, rejection, of Jesus as Messiah (1 Peter 2:8; Romans 9:33; 1 Corinthians 2:14; 1 John 2:16-17; Matthew 7:13-14).
Seeking obedience to Elohim the Father? Which path are you pursuing: Sinai or Golgotha?
Discussion,
If you desire to honor the Father through obedience you must FIRST believe in the Son whom He sent to provide you blood atonement (John 6:29). Intimate, personal, New Covenant relationship with the Father can only be established by “faith” in the Son, Jesus Christ, believing with a sincere heart that Jesus is Messiah who died to pay your sin-debt owed the Father, a sin-debt mandating sinless blood atonement, atonement you could never provide yourself (John 3; 1 Peter 1:18-19). It is by covenant promise to all who believe in the Son that they will receive the indwelling Holy Spirit who takes up residence within the redeemed in Jesus as the indwelling Holy Spirit is the Seal and Guarantor of New Covenant relationship with the Father (Ephesians 1:13-14).
Second, if you desire to please the Father through obedience subsequent salvation by faith, you must walk by the indwelling Holy Spirit, daily, in New Covenant sanctification (Galatians 5:16) allowing the Spirit to employ your redeemed conscience (2 Corinthians 5:17) and the spiritual law written upon your heart (Romans 2:14-15) to produce divine fruit through you that fulfills all law (Galatians 5:22-23).
Torah, Moses, Sinai, civil-ceremonial law, are members of a bygone, distant, covenant (Hebrews 8:7). Stop living in that which condemns you (Romans 3:20; Romans 8:1-11) and seek the Living Elohim’s Truth concerning grace and faith and peace and intimacy (Galatians 2:16); that is, the Gospel of Jesus Christ; Jesus our Messiah who provided you precious blood atonement at Golgotha (Matthew 26:28; 1 Peter 1:18-19) and welcomes you into the family of Elohim through the forgiveness of sin via New Covenant relationship, divine intimacy and peace, established by faith in Jesus as Messiah who died for you (Romans 5:1).
