Spiritual Law v. Torah Law

Religion - Christianity, , , , , , , , ,

The “Spiritual Law” is eternal, this is the law that condemned Satan of covetousness and prefaced his extrication from the Kingdom. This same Spiritual Law judged the Adamic and Noahic generations of compromise with the demonic where the Earth was judged by water.

The “Spiritual Law” is the law Elohim infused within the heart of human kind on Day-6 as human kind is created in the spiritual image of Elohim thereby possessing certain divine communicable attributes of Elohim concerning a sustainable society and judgment with due process.

Torah Law – the Code of Hammurabi are but mere fragments of the divine Spiritual Law having been codified for specific reasons.

It is the same Spiritual Law that is employed by the Holy Spirit in the New Covenant to arbitrate the redeemed conscience of the Christian and point them toward righteous behavior via the production of divine fruit (Galatians 5:16-23; John 15:8).

1 John 1:9 and Christianity

Religion - Christianity, , , , , , , , ,

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9 (ESV)

Christian forgiveness in the New Covenant (Hebrews 8:12) is manifest not through obedience or one striving to be obedient subsequent salvation but a Christian’s forgiveness is the result of the imputed-gifted perfection of Jesus over the life of the one who believes that Jesus is Messiah (2 Corinthians 5:21).

The Father makes an affirmative choice via New Covenant promise (Hebrews 8:12) to NOT see the sin of those redeemed by faith in the Son but the Father only sees the righteousness of His dear Son over the life of the faithful in the New Covenant and thereby declares that person “not guilty,” eternally (2 Corinthians 5:21; John 10:28-30).

With that said, the Christian becomes a “new creation” (2 Corinthians 5:17) and their attitude, their perception, of sin and the World changes due to the presence of the indwelling Holy Spirit (Ephesians 1:13-14) who begins a good work within the Christian as the Spirit arbitrates the redeemed conscience and during daily Christian sanctification, the Spirit points the redeemed toward righteousness; He does this through His anointing whereby the Spirit produces divine fruit (Galatians 5:16-23) through the redeemed and this fruit fulfills all law; both, codified and spiritual (Galatians 5:23) while this fruit actually pleases the Father and proves one to be a disciple of Jesus (John 15:8).

The Holy Spirit has provided the Christian 1 John 1:9 not for the restoration of New Covenant relationship due to a Christian’s sin but 1 John 1:9 restores intimacy with our Creator which is the most prized element of salvation.

The Christian is in a battle, an inner struggle between the Adamic sin-nature (Romans 5:12) and the New Nature in Messiah (Romans 7:14-25; 2 Corinthians 5:17) and though the Christian hates sin, deplores its presence, they do, from time-to-time, fall short of perfect obedience; therefore, that disobedience does NOT destroy New Covenant relationship but fractures the coveted intimacy with our Lord; intimacy is disrupted due disobedience; therefore, the Christian confesses their short coming as per 1 John 1:9 which results in a clear conscience and restored intimacy….much like apologizing to a best friend for having wronged them…the relationship remains intact but there is a sense of division and loss of intimacy…an apology forthcoming heals this fracture and restores fellowship.

How do I “know” I’m saved by Jesus?

Religion - Christianity, , , , , , , , ,

When you are saved by faith in Jesus as your Messiah, the Holy Spirit takes up residence within you (Ephesians 1:13-14) and there is a small, still, voice that resonates as you mature in your faith that verifies in your inner man that you are a child of the Living God. YOU KNOW THAT YOU KNOW…WORDS CAN’T ADEQUATELY EXPRESS THIS ASSURANCE BUT THERE IS JOY AND PEACE IN JESUS.

Your outlook on life changes, you understand the futility of this World while the JOY and peace of Jesus encapsulates your inner being. You desire to honor the Father and do His will for your life as selfishness and temporary irrelevant pursuits, the desire for same, disappear. You are content with and thankful for what the Lord has provided you. You are a “new creation” (2 Corinthians 5:17) with wisdom, discernment, that was not present before you trusted in Jesus as your Messiah. You intuitively KNOW that your Creator, Jesus our Messiah, and the Holy Spirit within you, “have your back.” You’re good, unshaken, irrespective of what life might throw at you. You have a “friend that sticks closer than a brother” in the Holy Spirit.

Finally, you have a passion, a love for the Scriptures and the knowledge and wisdom they impart.

New Covenant: Law or Grace INRE Salvation?

Religion - Christianity, , , , , , , ,

No one is justified by commandment keeping, if that were possible, Jesus died in vain (Galatians 2:21).

Where you fail in your theological understanding is a lack of knowledge or awareness concerning the transitional reality of the New Testament from Law to Grace. Torah plays a very diminutive role in the New Covenant; Torah simply points its adherents to their need for a divine Intercessor as Torah only condemns void grace.

If you trust in Torah, Law, your adherence to same in order to establish New Covenant relationship with the Father, you will perish in Hell in self-righteousness as NO ONE is justified by Law Keeping (Galatians 2:16). Faith in Jesus as your Messiah is the only Path to righteousness that the Father honors concerning eternal relationship with Him (Acts 4:12).

Why read the Bible?

Religion - Christianity, , , , , , , , ,

Concerning those redeemed by faith in Jesus as their Messiah,

Reading Scripture with intent is like programming a computer’s hard drive…what you’re inputting into your mind and heart can be accessed by the indwelling Holy Spirit for use at the proper time, maybe many years down the road…but the information is stored and He is faithful to draw upon it when you need it. Reading the Scriptures, even if you don’t understand same at that time…is invaluable. Neglecting the Scriptures is like an operating system void information, it’s useless.

Without Torah where is law defining sin?

Religion - Christianity, , , , , , , , ,

Sin is defined by the spiritual law (Romans 2:14-15) that has been extant within human kind subsequent Day-6 and the spiritual law is the very same law that judged Satan of covetousness and under girded his extrication from the Kingdom. The spiritual law judged both the Adamic and Noahic generations of defilement and judgement in water LONG before Sinai and Moses.

Torah’s laws, Moses’ laws, are but a mere fraction of the comprehensive spiritual law that will be used to judge the unredeemed and that same law will be extant in the New Jerusalem as free will remains extant there as well; this, by necessity.

Torah will find relevance in the Millennial Kingdom as Jesus will receive the Kingdom denied Him at His First-Advent and a partial return to Law will manifest there as the Age of Grace will have concluded subsequent the “fullness of the Gentiles” having entered the Kingdom (Romans 11:25).

During this current “Age of Grace”…the New Covenant, as established in the blood of Messiah (Matthew 26:27-29), Torah is not in effect (Romans 6:14) but the redeemed in Jesus are under grace and their obedience is through the indwelling Holy Spirit (Ephesians 1:13-14; Romans 7:6) whereby the Spirit produces divine fruit (Galatians 5:16-23) through the redeemed and this fruit fulfills all law; both codified and spiritual (Galatians 5:23) and this fruit actually pleases the Father and proves one to be a disciple of Jesus (John 15:8).

True Repentance: before or after Salvation by faith?

Religion - Christianity, , , , , , , ,

Topic of discussion: It is a distortion of the gospel to emphasize God’s grace heavily while ignoring the need for repentance.

True, actuated, “repentance” is not possible without grace and a relationship with the Father through faith in Jesus as Messiah, why? For one to truly repent and produce divine fruit (Galatians 5:16-23) that validates true repentance, one must possess the indwelling Holy Spirit (Ephesians 1:13-14) and allow His anointing to work in their life through obedience via daily Christian sanctification; therefore, one can and should profess a “desire” to repent in conjunction with their statement of faith in Jesus as Messiah, but true, actuated, faith validating, repentance will ONLY manifest subsequent salvation; this, through the production of divine fruit (Galatians 5:16-23) and this fruit fulfills all law (Galatians 5:23); this fruit actually pleases the Father and proves one to be a disciple of Jesus (John 15:8).

Ignorant hater of Truth stated: [Christianity] “was founded in war you got that right. And you will always be involved in wars because your religions are cursed.”

Religion - Christianity, , , , , , , , , ,

Our entire Creation is the resultant of a war initiated by a rebellious cherub in the Kingdom before Time began (Revelation 12; Ezekiel 28:11-15). This temporary Earth is a temporary repository for that Kingdom War as Elohim restores peace and order to the Heavenly Kingdom within the Spiritual Realm.

This is why the first main character introduced subsequent the creation of human kind is Satan (Genesis 3) and this is why a formal declaration of war between Satan and Messiah is proclaimed in Genesis 3:15 and this is why the battle strategy by which Messiah would defeat the works of Satan (death, Hell, the grave) is proclaimed in Genesis 3:21 via the shedding of innocent blood to provide human kind a gifted, imputed, robe of righteousness/covering for sin known as the Gospel of Jesus.

Messiah Jesus fulfilled these prophecies 4000-years later at Golgotha through the shedding of His innocent blood; in fact, the primary reason Messiah entered Time was “to destroy the works of Satan” (1 John 3:8b) via a Gospel that was ordained “before Time began” (2 Timothy 1:8-9).

You were born into this WAR for a purpose and you possess the free will to chose servitude to Jesus as His warrior for good or you can choose Satan as his warrior for evil…not choosing sides is siding with Satan. I sense your anger and hostility toward Christianity…please don’t the fool of Satan and die in Hell in rebellion to our Creator’s will for your life (John 6:29).

Cult Member advocating Baptism for salvation said: “Faith without deeds is dead.” What is the Truth?

Uncategorized, , , ,

You said: “Faith without deeds is dead.” This is true, saving faith will naturally produce good fruit (Matthew 7; Galatians 5:16-23; John 15:8).

James teaches that those who are saved by legitimate faith, having received the indwelling Holy Spirit by “believing” in Jesus as Messiah (Ephesians 1:13-14), they will produce divine fruit (Galatians 5:16-23; Romans 7; John 15:8) that validates their faith; note, this is concerning those who have been saved by faith, alone, in Jesus, alone (Romans 4:4-5); that is, having received the indwelling Holy Spirit as Guarantor and Seal of New Covenant promise (Ephesians 1:13-14); therefore, it is a theological imperative that you understand these deeds/works/obedience don’t precede salvation, these works are NOT “causative,” but they are reactionary; in other words, divine fruit that pleases the Father is only produced SUBSEQUENT salvation by faith in Jesus, alone, and that divine fruit is only possible via the anointing of the indwelling Holy Spirit who is ONLY given as a result of legitimate, saving, faith in Jesus (Ephesians 1:13-14; Galatians 5:16). James does NOT teach a works salvation (James 2:14-26); in fact, James teaches the futility of works as salvation in James 2:10..

Water does NOT wash away sin, sins are washed away only by grace (unmerited favor you cannot earn) through faith, belief, in Jesus as your Messiah as only the sinless “blood” of Jesus atones for sin and fulfills the atonement mandates of Leviticus 17:11 (1 Peter 1:18-19) not water or water baptism. Water baptism is an “act” or “work” of obedience that “follows” salvation by grace through faith as commanded in the Great Commission (Matthew 28).

You belong to a works cult and you have been deceived into believing that your act of entering water has washed away your sin, this is heresy as only the blood of Jesus washes away sin (Matthew 26:27-29). You have denied the sole-sufficiency of Jesus to atone for your sin apart from your works, your input, your own self-righteousness; therefore, you remain in your sin, you are on the “broad road” to the second death in Hell. Jesus warned you about this in Genesis 3:21 (Adam’s attempt to cover his shame with fig leaves) and in Matthew 7:21-23.

Now to the one who works, his wage is not credited as a favor, but as what is due. 5 But to the one who does not work, but believes in Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited as righteousness,
Innocent substitute. Replaced fig leave of human righteousness.

Creator Jesus?

Religion - Christianity, , , , , , , ,

It is written that Jesus is Creator in John 1; Hebrews 1; Colossians 1.

Hebrews 1,

1God, after He spoke long ago to the fathers in the prophets in many portions and in many ways, 2in these last days has spoken to us 👉in His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, 👉through whom also He made the world.

10And,
👉“YOU, LORD, IN THE BEGINNING LAID THE FOUNDATION OF THE EARTH,
👉AND THE HEAVENS ARE THE WORKS OF YOUR HANDS;

John 1,

1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2He was in the beginning with God. 3👉All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him [b]not even one thing came into being that has come into being. 4In Him was life, and the life was the Light of mankind. 5And the Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not grasp it.

14And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us; and we saw His glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. 15John *testified about Him and called out, saying, “This was He of whom I said, ‘He who is coming after me has proved to be my superior, because He existed before me.’” 16For of His fullness we have all received, and grace upon grace. 17For the Law was given through Moses; grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ. 18No one has seen God at any time; God the only Son, who is in the arms of the Father, He has explained Him.

Colossians 1,

The Preeminence of Christ

15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. 16 👉For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—👉all things were created through him and for him. 17 And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together. 18 And he is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent. 19 For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, 20 and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross.
