Those enslaved by Religion are aghast at the concept of Salvation by grace through faith, why?

Religion - Christianity, , , , , , , , , ,
Those trapped in religion – Torah – Moses – Judaism – Messianic Judaism – Hebrew Roots fanaticism – Legalism, are aghast at the idea of pure grace (unmerited favor) through faith, alone, as the KEY to Elohim’s heart and eternal life via the forgiveness of sin…let me explain and please, hear me out?

A brief history,

The Gospel of Grace, the New Covenant of Peace, as introduced through Messiah was ordained as a divine battle strategy by Elohim “to destroy the works of the Devil” via Messiah’s blood atonement provided at Golgotha outside the gates of the Old City some 2000-years ago and this Gospel was foreordained as the Father’s divine will “before Time began” (2 Timothy 1:8-10).

The Adamic-Noahic generations were ordained as progenitors of the Messiah; unfortunately, these generations defiled themselves with unconscionable compromise, perversion, with the demonic – paganism and nullified their divine ordination and so great was their corruption of the human genome that Elohim destroyed all but eight via water (Genesis 6:5).

Elohim’s 2nd-Attempt,

Elohim began anew with Noah and Noah’s family and through Noah’s son, Shem, Elohim brought forth the Patriarchy of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob (Israel) and through Jacob’s son, Judah, Elohim introduced His Messiah to the World. Please understand that Torah; specifically, details concerning Sinai, Moses, Law, Ordinances, blood sacrifices, Sabbaths, these things were simply a temporary roadmap leading to the Messiah and the Gospel, Torah was NEVER intended to be the destination (Galatians 3:24).

Why Sinai?

Sinai and Moses and Ordinances and Sabbaths were given specifically to Israel’s children in a Covenant of Law for sanctification (a setting apart from paganism) and eschatological purposes. Never were these aspects of Torah to be considered relevant for the Gentile lest said Gentile was seeking refuge in the protective confines of Israel’s theocracy.

Also, understand the reasoning for Elohim’s “giving of the Sinai Law” to Israel as Elohim’s motive relevant to Sinai was a response to His dreadful concerns over a repeat of the failures of the Adamic and Noahic generations and their compromise with the demonic i.e., paganism that thwarted their ordination as progenitors of Messiah; therefore, Sinai’s motives were to detail Israel’s proper protocol with Elohim (1-4) and Israel’s proper protocol sociologically between the Tribes (5-10); these edicts were to be obeyed meticulously as Israel’s children were commanded to be holy as Elohim is Holy (Leviticus 21:8; Exodus 19:6; 1 Peter 1:16); in fact, Israel’s covenant relationship with Elohim was completely based upon National obedience (Deuteronomy 28). This strict obedience through adherence to codified laws was intended to thwart Israel’s compromise with the pagan tribes surrounding them, defiled, sexually perverse, murderous, infanticide, that relentlessly sought Israel’s compromise with the pagan gods of Baal and Molech.

Sinai (codification) v. Spiritual Law,

Sinai and Moses’ related ordinances were but a MERE FRACTION of the comprehensive Spiritual Law that is written upon the human heart, the human genome by Elohim (Romans 2:14-15); in fact, the Spiritual Law has been relevant as an arbiter of free will subsequent the creation of the Angels. Sinai and Moses’ edicts, laws, ordinances, were NOT sufficient to engender righteousness with Elohim (Romans 3:20) but were simply a fragmented codification of the divine, infinitely superior, Spiritual Law that governed the conduct of and condemned the Adamic and Noahic generations of defilement.

Law in the New Covenant,

Also note that the Spiritual Law written upon the human heart by our Creator (Romans 2:14-15) is the very same Law that is applicable in the New Covenant promises (Jeremiah 31; Ezekiel 36; Hebrews 10) as the Spiritual Law written upon the human heart was foreordained to be arbitrated by the indwelling Holy Spirit (Ezekiel 36:27; Ephesians 1:13-14; John 14:6) who mates the redeemed conscience of the faithful in Jesus (2 Corinthians 5:17) with the enlivened Spiritual Law as written upon the heart; this catalyst as employed by the indwelling Spirit forms the New Man in Messiah and consequently produces divine “fruit” through the redeemed in Jesus, fruit that fulfills ALL LAW and glorifies the Father (Galatians 5:16-23; John 15:8).

Christians are therefore NOT under Torah-Sinai-Moses (Romans 6:14) but Christians are under the “Law of the Spirit of Life” (Romans 8:2; Romans 7:6); in fact, a Christian who knows their position and responsibility toward the Father in the New Covenant does not go about their day consciously thinking about obedience to Torah, Sinai, Moses, Days, Diets, Clothing-Fabrics, Sabbaths, but they are intently tuned to the Spirit’s leadership in every aspect of their daily life and with the Spirit as one’s Teacher and Arbitrator, THERE IS PEACE with the Father via a good conscience (Romans 5:1).

The New Covenant is Unique,

The New Covenant is NEW, it is NOT a reiteration of the Old Covenant’s Law System (New wine in new wine skins); the New Covenant is NOT about keeping Sinai or Moses or Days or Ordinances or Diets but the New Covenant ordained “before Time began” via the Gospel (2 Timothy 1:8-10) is about divine PEACE with the Father through faith in the Son, Jesus Christ, who provided humanity blood atonement that is acceptable by the Father which results in the New Covenant promise of absolution, forgiveness, for our sin by divine grace through faith in Jesus (Hebrews 8:12).

Enslavement to Law, Judaism, Hebrew Roots, Religion,

You are free to enslave yourself to religious works and days and diets and ordinances and Torah and Judaism and Messianic Judaism and Hebrew Roots fanaticism as long as you understand that your only Path to life and forgiveness of sin and Covenant relationship with Elohim is by faith in Jesus our Messiah trusting fully in Him as completely sufficient to redeem you and present you acceptable to the Father via the gifting, the imputation, of HIS righteousness over your life earned for us via Messiah’s blood atonement at Golgotha (John 14:6; 2 Corinthians 5:21).

Jesus and Commandments,

Jesus said, “If you love me you will keep my Commandments” (John 14:15-31) and Jesus’ Commandments are that we love Elohim above all else and that we love our neighbor as our self (Matthew 22:36-40) and this is why the Holy Spirit places “love” at the very top of His list of divine “fruit” that is manifest through the daily life of the redeemed in Jesus (Galatians 5:22-23); therefore, if one truly desires to honor Jesus’ commands, they must first be “born again” by faith in Jesus as Messiah (John 3) and subsequently “walk by the Spirit” (Galatians 5:16) allowing the Spirit to produce fruit through them that fulfills ALL LAW.

The “law of sin and death” i.e., Torah-Sinai (Romans 8:2) could NEVER accomplish what the Spirit accomplishes in the life of the redeemed in Jesus as the “law of sin and death” was weakened by the Adamic sin-nature (Romans 5:12) and there was no indwelling Holy Spirit within the individual during the Law Covenant to arbitrate that sin-nature ingrained in the human genome.

In closing,

Therefore, if you desire intimate relationship with the Father, you must first “believe” in the Son, Jesus, your Messiah who died for you (John 3); then, receive the promised indwelling Holy Spirit (Ephesians 1:13-14) and walk by the Spirit in daily Christian sanctification as He prepares you for service in the New Jerusalem (Galatians 5:16). There is no other Way (John 14:6)!

How can I find Spiritual Truth? How can I be saved from death in Hell?

I know because I did. I would not tell you this lest I had experienced it personally. The KEY to life and hope and joy and peace is getting alone, acquiring a readable version of the Canon of Scriptures….my first read was the paraphrased version known as “The Living Bible” and sit quietly, simply ask the Father to show you what He desires you know…humbly ask the Father to give you a heart that is willing to receive…just humble yourself…try the Lord and ask Him…open your Bible to the “Gospel of John” and read every word with intent and a heart willing to accept the Father’s anointing and understanding…reflect on what you’re reading and ponder the possibilities…at least make an effort to find life in Jesus before dying in this fallen World and suffering Judgment that is wholly avoidable by faith in Jesus who died for you to pay your sin-debt owed the Father. JUST DO IT! (you have nothing to lose)

Concerning those who struggle to make themselves worthy of God’s acceptance…

Concerning those who struggle to make themselves worthy of Elohim’s mercy and grace…

It is NOT you or your work or your efforts that engender acceptance by the Father but it is the work and faithfulness of Jesus and His selfless love for the Father and for YOU demonstrated at the Cross that makes you worthy, acceptable, when you trust in Jesus as your Messiah because the perfection – beauty – holiness – righteousness of Jesus is GIFTED YOU by grace (unmerited favor you cannot earn through human effort) through faith-trust-belief in Jesus as your Messiah (2 Corinthians 5:21) and the Father, by New Covenant promise, declares you “not guilty” (Hebrews 8:12) and the Father makes the affirmative decision to only see His dear Son IN YOU not your sin, not your frailty, not your wretchedness, but HIS SON’S PURITY and you are welcomed as a result of this imputed-gifted righteousness into the Family of Elohim and you subsequently belong to Him eternally, you are Elohim’s beloved child and nothing, no one, will ever snatch you out of His hand, forever (John 10:28-30). This is the truth, simplicity and veracity of the Gospel of Jesus our Messiah. Only Jesus is the Way and the Truth and the Life-eternal that paves the Path to Life in Eternity, the New Jerusalem (John 14:6).

New Covenant Salvation, Works & James’ confusing admonition – “faith without works is dead”

Religion - Christianity, , , , , , , ,
Concerning New Covenant Salvation, Works and the Apostle James’ confusing admonition…

James 2.26 “For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.”

Christian explanation,

Faith (noun) (belief – trust) that is true, confessed and sincerely placed in Messiah Jesus as our Lord engendering New Covenant relationship with the Father is not “dead” but alive, active, through the indwelling Holy Spirit and the veracity, reality, of this active faith is the production of divine fruit (Galatians 5:22-23) via the anointing and leadership of the Spirit (Galatians 5:16). Saving faith initiates behavior (fruit) that is pleasing to the Father (John 15:8) but behavior does not initiate New Covenant relationship; all things in their divine order – faith (noun) first then obedience that pleases the Father because that obedience is the resultant of the indwelling Holy Spirit who is ONLY given to those who have “believed” by faith that Jesus is Messiah (Ephesians 1:13-14).

You cannot put the cart before the horse and expect results. Faith first…obedience follows; otherwise, our work is interpreted as a “filthy garment” in Elohim’s nose (Isaiah 64:6) and our Lord Jesus will declare “Depart from me you workers of iniquity, I never knew you” if you seek the Kingdom by your own efforts and deny the work performed for you by Messiah at Golgotha (Matthew 7:21-23).

Relationship FIRST by faith (noun) in the Son, Jesus our Messiah – righteous behavior follows via the anointing of the indwelling Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:16; Ezekiel 36:27).

In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory.

Why is the “law of conscience” in the New Covenant vastly-infinitely superior to Sinai or Moses?

Why is the “law of conscience” (Romans 2:14-15) as arbitrated by the indwelling Holy Spirit in the New Covenant vastly-infinitely superior to Sinai’s Commandments or Moses’ 603 edicts scratched upon parchment?

Discussion,

The law written upon the heart is extant concerning moral edicts that are employed by the indwelling Holy Spirit in the New Covenant to address every moral scenario confronted by the Christian, daily…every second of every day.

This is why the law as written upon the heart and arbitrated by the Holy Spirit in the New Covenant is eternally and vastly superior to Sinai or Moses’ codified-written laws as Sinai and Moses’ written code is subject to various interpretations, obfuscation, justification, rationalization, by the sin-nature but NOT SO with the law as written upon the heart and arbitrated by the indwelling Holy Spirit in the New Covenant as even the most minute of conflict concerning a daily moral encounter or scenario is immediately addressed by the Spirit within the Christian…the conscience is immediately given direction toward righteousness…there is no equivocation…there is no doubt about what is the “right thing” to do in any given moral encounter even though the individual is free to choose good or evil; in this way, the Christian learns over time that the right thing is to always choose good and honor the Father through obedience because the redeemed conscience controlled by the Spirit demands it and if and when the Christian sins by rejecting the Spirit’s guidance, their conscience becomes beleaguered; their conscience is plagued by guilt and consequently, intimacy with our Creator is disrupted until we repent of our disobedience and ask forgiveness to restore intimacy (1 John 1:9); intimacy with our Creator being the greatest gift to humanity through faith.

This intuitive work of the Spirit through the conscience of the redeemed in Jesus is why the law of conscience, extant from eternity past as an arbiter of free will, is infinitely superior to a written-codified code weakened by the sin-nature (Romans 8; 1-3).

Concerning “Perfect Faith” through works…what is the Truth?

Concerning “perfected faith” through works…what is the Truth?

Discussion,

To those legalists who mock my position of salvation by grace through faith (noun) apart from works, you’re theologically corrupted. 

No need to be “sorry”…just get your theology squared away and trust fully in Jesus and His suffering on your account for salvation, not yourself or your works. There is no “perfected faith” in humanity other than that faith which engenders New Covenant relationship with the Father by faith (noun) in the Son and the “perfection” of faith is only relevant due the Father’s grace who accepts our flawed faith as perfect faith for His eschatological purposes.  

Breaking NEWS:

The creation of the Heavens and the Earth and the complex human genome do not find their relevance in humanity but in Elohim’s perfect eschatological will concerning the defeat of Satan and the fallen angles (1 John 3:8b); humanity is but a player in that struggle via the Gospel of Jesus Christ ordained “before Time began” (2 Timothy 1:8-9); therefore, know your lowly position in the Realm of Time and concede to the Father’s eschatological imperatives lest you become haughty and arrogant and self-righteous. 

You are filthy flesh who is offered imputed perfection by grace in response to faith (noun) in the PERFECT Messiah. You can’t earn it, you don’t deserve it, but Elohim’s grace is sufficient for the one willing to “believe” and “trust” in Jesus as blood atonement for sin.  

It is the “new creation” in Messiah (2 Corinthians 5:17) that walks by the anointing of the indwelling Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:16) and allows the Spirit to work through them via the production of divine “fruit” (Galatians 5:22-23) which fulfills all law and all righteous works…this is NOT a work of the flesh but of the Spirit; a divine work that glorifies the Father, not ourselves (John 15:8).

How were people in the Old Testament saved from death in Hell?

How were people in the Old Testament saved from death in Hell?

Discussion,

All of humanity, from Adam to this very day, were and are saved by “faith,” alone (Hebrews 11). Faith internalized; that is, “believing” Elohim is the One true Creator and that Elohim is faithful to do all that He has promised.

It is written,

What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh, discovered in this matter? 2 If, in fact, Abraham was justified by works, he had something to boast about—but not before God. 3 What does Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.” Romans 4:1-3 (Genesis 15:6)

Why was Messiah Jesus necessary?

Jesus’ divine incarnation, the hypostatic union of deity and humanity (Philippians 2:5-11), was essential in order that mandated sinless blood atonement be made manifest for the purification of sin (Leviticus 17:11; Hebrews 10; Matthew 26:28) thereby permitting access to the Kingdom subsequent death of the body in Time (2 Corinthians 5:8); that is, “nothing impure” will ever enter the Kingdom (Rev 21:27); therefore, those who perished in death of the body prior to Messiah’s sacrificial blood atonement, these Old Testament saints, having died in faith, awaited Messiah’s atoning sacrifice for the purification of sin while detained in Sheol-Paradise (Luke 16; Psalm 16:10). Subsequent Messiah’s blood sacrifice, these Old Testament saints were escorted out of Sheol-Paradise into the Kingdom (Ephesians 4:7-10; Luke 23:43).

Faith (noun) has always been the KEY to Elohim’s heart and personal intimacy, righteousness, with Him; this, relevant to all Old Testament and New Testament men and women having attained an age of accountability. Jesus is the divine “Door” (John 10:9-16) to the Kingdom for all who “believe” by “faith” that He, alone, is Messiah who died for the sins of the whole World (John 1:29; 1 Peter 1:18-19; 1 John 2:1-2).

Saved by faith, alone? (Romans 4:4-5)

Saved by faith, alone? (Romans 4:4-5)

Discussion,

If salvation is a reality in your life by faith, alone…works that substantiate, validated, authenticate, that saving faith will be produced through you by the indwelling Holy Spirit as “fruits of the Spirit”….it is by these fruits of the Spirit (Galatians 5:16-23) that the Father is glorified and evidence of your salvation is made manifest to the World. All law (spiritual and codified) is observed and obeyed through the production of Spiritual fruit (Galatians 5:23).

You are saved from the “second death” in Hell by faith (noun) alone….that saving faith (noun) is evidenced by faith (verb) that produces fruit as a result of the indwelling Holy Spirit who is gifted everyone who believes that Jesus is Messiah; this, by faith (noun) (Ephesians 1:13-14; Galatians 2:16).

It has been said that there exists some 1050 New Testament Commandments – what is the Christian to do concerning obedience that pleases Elohim?

Discussion,

Christians do NOT chase after letters whether those letters are etched in stone, scratched upon parchment or codified in the Old Covenant or the New Covenant…Christians don’t chase letters because the letter kills but the Spirit gives life; that is, Christians walk daily by the indwelling Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:16; John 14:26) and it is He, alone, who enlivens the “spiritual law” written upon the human heart and mates that enlivened spiritual law with the redeemed conscience, the “new creation” (2 Corinthians 5:17), and this mating of spiritual law – the redeemed conscience forms a divine catalyst whereby the Spirit produces divine “fruit” (Galatians 5:16-23) through the redeemed in Jesus and this divine fruit fulfills every moral law whether they be codified or spiritual (Galatians 5:23); in fact, you cannot remember all that Jesus taught sufficiently to apply same when confronted with the myriad of moral decisions encounter daily; this work of the Holy Spirit through the redeemed is the ONLY way a man or woman pleases the Father through daily sanctification via obedience to the Holy Spirit, an anointing, divine work, of the Spirit, the Spirit’s work through you that prepares the Father’s children for service in the New Jerusalem. If you were capable of keeping letters sufficiently to please the Father, Jesus died needlessly (Galatians 2:21). It is the Spirit who is glorified through our obedience to His guidance and leadership.

Conservatives – Christians clamor and fret and worry over our fallen World and the Nation of America that is leading the way to Hell yet we fail to understand that all we see is nothing more than a modernized reiteration of what has manifest in response to an angelic coup d’etat initiated by a rebellious, anointed, cherub angel, a coup d’etat waged against Elohim that is foundational to the creation of matter, Time, physics, the human genome, the Heavens and this temporary Earth as a temporary repository for that angelic coup.

America’s Democrat – Progressive Party is NOTHING new or novel within the Realm of Time as these people are the demonic seed of the Adamic and Noahic generations that were annihilated by water save eight…same people, same servitude to the pagan god of Molech (child sacrifice – abortion) and Baal (sexual immorality identified in this current generation as LGBTQAI++).

Nothing new or novel to see here people…just a hoard of demons and the demonically possessed having methodically infused America’s posterity with their wickedness and vileness celebrated as “freedom” via atheism and secular humanism and abortion and sexual perversion.

America’s enemies are the Party of Darkness i.e. Progressive-Democrats-Marxists and their attributes are insolence, rebellion, arrogance, ignorance and moral defilement and they will proliferate, procreate, until that Day; therefore, as America dies in Hell do not be dismayed, those who belong to Messiah Jesus are not yet HOME (Hebrews 13:14-16).

“O you who love the LORD, hate evil! He preserves the lives of his saints; he delivers them from the hand of the wicked.” Psalm 97:10 (ESV)
