SALVATION IS 100% FREE BUT HEAVENLY REWARDS ARE 100% EARNED!!
Ephesians 2:8,9: For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith�and this not from yourselves, it is the *GIFT of God�not by works. So that no one can boast.
Hebrews 11:1,6: Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see....And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists and that He **REWARDS those who earnestly seek Him!!
Ephesians 6:8: Serve wholeheartedly , as if you were serving the Lord, not men, because you know that the Lord will **REWARD everyone for what ever good he does!.
Revelation 22:12 Jesus says, �Behold I am coming soon! My **REWARD is with Me, and I will give to everyone according to what he has done!�
Matthew 16:27: Jesus says, �The Son of Man is going to come in His Father's glory with His angels and THEN He will **REWARD each person according to what he has done!�
2 Corinthians 5:9,10: We make it our goal to please Him... for we must all appear before the Judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive what is due him for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad.
1 Corinthians 3:13-15: His work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each man's work. If what he has built survives , he will receive his **REWARD. If it is burned up he will suffer loss; he himself will be saved, but only as one escaping through the flames.
Colossians 3:23-25: Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a **REWARD. It is the Lord Christ you are serving. Anyone who does wrong will be repaid for his wrong, and there is no favoritism.
How to Win Heavenly **CROWNS:
I Corinthians 9:24-27: Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes in to strict training. They do it to get a **CROWN that will not last; but we do it to get a **CROWN THAT WILL LAST FOREVER! Therefore, I do not run like a man running aimlessly. I do not fight like a man beating the air. No, I beat my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize!
2 John 1:8: Watch out that you do not lose what you have worked for, but that you may be **REWARDED fully!. Revelation 3:11: Jesus says, �I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your **CROWN!�
2 Timothy 4:7,8: I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the **CROWN of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day�and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for His appearing!
The **CROWN of Life for those who persevere under trials and persecution:
James 1:12: Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the **CROWN OF LIFE that God has promised to those who love Him!
Revelation 2:10 Jesus says, �Do not be afraid of what you are about to suffer... Be faithful, even to the point of death, and I will give you the **CROWN OF LIFE!�
Matthew 5:11,12: Jesus says, �Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your **REWARD in heaven!�
Hebrews 10:32-36: Remember those earlier days after you had received the Light, when you stood your ground in a great contest in the face of suffering. Sometimes you were publicly exposed to insult and persecution; at other times you stood side by side with those who were so treated. You sympathized with those in prison and joyfully accepted the confiscation of your property, because you knew that you yourselves had better and lasting possessions. So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly **REWARDED. You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you receive what He has promised!

What is the OT command concerning *VOWS* and *OATHS*??
Numbers 30:2: Moses said, "This is what the Lord commands: When a man makes a *VOW* to the Lord or takes an *OATH* to obligate himself by a pledge, he must not break his word but must do everything he said!"
What are the NT commands concerning making *VOWS* and **OATHS*??
James 5:12: "ABOVE ALL, my brothers, do not swear--not by heaven or by earth or by anything else. Let your "Yes" be yes, and your "No," no, or you will be condemned.!!"
Matthew 5:33-37: Jesus says, "You have heard that it was said to your people long ago {Numbers 30:2 above}, 'Do not break your oath, but keep the oaths you have made to the Lord.' BUT I tell you, Do not swear at all....Simply let your 'Yes' be 'Yes,' and your 'No, 'No'; anything beyond this comes from the evil one!!"
WE ARE NO LONGER UNDER THE LAW OF MOSES BUT ONLY UNDER THE LAWS OF JESUS CHRIST AND THE NT!!
Luke 16:16: Jesus says, "The {OT} Law and the {OT} Prophets were proclaimed until John {The Baptist}. Since that time, the good news of the Kingdom of God is being preached!!"
Galatians 3:23-25: "Before faith came, we were held prisoners by the law, locked up until faith should be revealed. So the law was put in charge to lead us to Christ that we might be justified by faith. Now that faith has come, *WE* ARE NO LONGER UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF THE LAW!!"
Galatians 2:14-16: Paul said, When I saw that they were not acting in line with the truth of the gospel, I said to Peter in front of them all, "You are a Jew, yet you live like a Gentile and not like a Jew. How is it, then that you force Gentiles to follow Jewish customs? We who are Jews by birth and not 'Gentile sinners' know that a man is NOT justified by observing the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by observing the law, because by observing the law no one will be justified.!"
Galatians 2:20,21: The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!"
Galatians 3:10-13: "All who rely on observing the law are under a curse, for it is written "Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law." Clearly no one is justified before God by the law, because, "The righteous will live by faith." The law is not based on faith; on the contrary, "The man who does these things will live by them." Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us!
Hebrews 7:18,19: The former regulation is SET ASIDE because it was weak and useless; for the law made nothing perfect, and a better hope is introduced, by which we draw near to God.!
Hebrews 8:8,9,13: "The time is coming." says the Lord, "when I will make a New Covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah".... By calling this Covenant "NEW", He has made the first one OBSOLETE; and what is OBSOLETE and aging will soon disappear."
Hebrews 8:6: But the ministry Jesus has received is as superior to theirs as the covenant of which He is Mediator is SUPERIOR TO THE OLD ONE, and it is founded on better promises.
I Corinthians 9:21: I am under Christ's Law!!
Matthew 28:20: Jesus says, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations... teaching them to **OBEY EVERYTHING I HAVE COMMANDED YOU**!"
All of the OT Sabbath laws have been eliminated. Both Jesus and His Father have declared all foods are now clean. All of the OT sacrificial and temple laws have been eliminated. All of the stoning to death laws for breaking the law have been eliminated. All of the laws concerning an eye for an eye and making oaths have been eliminated. Circumcision laws have been eliminated. Loving one another as Jesus loved us has replaced loving one another as you love yourself.
Their about 400 NT laws to be obeyed with *LOVE* in the hope of countless eternal rewards for faithful and loving service has replaced the 613 OT laws.

If people want to follow the example of Christ and Paul, we see sabbath is every day, we see keeping the laws, to not do adultery, false swearing, simple vows instead as Paul did, Gentiles are now clean, as the kingdom of Heaven is not food and drink, we sacrifice to the Lord as a living sacrifice by our bodies, we are the circumcision, eye for eye is by not resisting evil to overcome it, and stoning is spiritual, by feeding your enemy to heap coals of fire on the head.
That's actual shown facts though, which do not suit some people..
Romans 14:17 For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.

SALVATION IS THE FREE **GIFT OF GOD** NOT BY WORKS SO THAT NO ONE CAN BOAST!
Ephesians 2:4-10: But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions--it is by Grace you have been saved. And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with Him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, in order that in the coming ages He might show the incomparable riches of His GRACE, expressed in His kindness to us in Christ Jesus. For it is by Grace you have been saved, through **FAITH**--and this is NOT from yourselves, it is the **GIFT OF GOD**--not by works; so that no one can boast. For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do!
John 6:37,39,44,65: Jesus says, "All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and whoever comes to Me I will **NEVER** drive away...And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that I shall **LOSE NONE** of all that He has given Me, but raise them up at the Last Day... No one can come to Me **UNLESS** the Father who sent Me draws him, and I will raise them up at the Last Day!... No one can come to Me **UNLESS** the Father has **ENABLED** them!!"

Here everything is in order. The prophecy of the Lord coming to not destroy His law, but to fulfill it. The Lord also gives His law to the isles, to the Gentiles. The law continues for the Jews in their customs, for the Gentiles it is magnified, made honourable, so the righteousness of the law is done.
Isaiah 42:4 He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set judgment in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his law.
5 Thus saith God the LORD, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein:
6 I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles;
Isaiah 42:21 The LORD is well pleased for his righteousness' sake; he will magnify the law, and make it honourable.
Christ confirms this Himself, because He did not come to destroy the law at all, He can only do as He said in the Old testament. No part of the law disappeared. The law and the prophets are now explained, to do to others, is the law and the prophets, which is fully alive.
Matthew 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill.
18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
Matthew 7:12 Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.
Again Jesus is asked, what the great commandments in the law are, to love God wit all of our strength, and our neighbour as ourselves, and that is all the law, it is the heart of the law or the Spirit of the law.
Matthew 22:36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
38 This is the first and great commandment.
39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
The law and the prophets were until John. No jot or tittle passes from the law. It is increased in righteousness, and decreased in the letter. Now a soft heart is given, we cannot divorce because of a hard heart feeling, or it is adultery which in the law is punishable by death and on judgement day will result in same.
Luke 16:16 The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.
17 And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail.
18 Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery.
Jesus wants us to judge righteously, the law of Moses was given from the Lord in Holiness, Christ makes us even more Holy, and Holiness in the law cannot be broken.
John 7:23 If a man on the sabbath day receive circumcision, that the law of Moses should not be broken; are ye angry at me, because I have made a man every whit whole on the sabbath day?
24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
Jesus shows He keeps the law in righteousness, not dropping any part of it that is right.
John 8:17 It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true.
18 I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me.
Again Jesus compares the law and how the word of God is kept, and Christ confirms the same way as the law to show He is the Son of God.
John 10:34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?
35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;
36 Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?
False witnesses said they spoke againt the law, and Jesus did not change the customs Moses gave the Jews.
Acts 6:13 And set up false witnesses, which said, This man ceaseth not to speak blasphemous words against this holy place, and the law:
14 For we have heard him say, that this Jesus of Nazareth shall destroy this place, and shall change the customs which Moses delivered us.
Those customs of the Jews, did not continue for the Gentiles, only what is necessary and righteous, such as the life is in the blood so not touch the blood, and no fornication or idol worship.
Acts 15:28 For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things;
29 That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well.
Again when the believing Jews wanted Paul to confirm he keeps the law, he did confirm it. To walk orderly, and to keep the customs, as he was a Jew too. for Gentiles it is the righteous teaching to continue in the law, no fornication and no idolatry.
Acts 21:21 And they are informed of thee, that thou teachest all the Jews which are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, saying that they ought not to circumcise their children, neither to walk after the customs.
22 What is it therefore? the multitude must needs come together: for they will hear that thou art come.
23 Do therefore this that we say to thee: We have four men which have a vow on them;
24 Them take, and purify thyself with them, and be at charges with them, that they may shave their heads: and all may know that those things, whereof they were informed concerning thee, are nothing; but that thou thyself also walkest orderly, and keepest the law.
25 As touching the Gentiles which believe, we have written and concluded that they observe no such thing, save only that they keep themselves from things offered to idols, and from blood, and from strangled, and from fornication.
Acts 25:8 While he answered for himself, Neither against the law of the Jews, neither against the temple, nor yet against Caesar, have I offended any thing at all.
The doers of the law are justified. the righteousness of the law written in the heart...
Romans 2:13 (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.
Romans 2:14 For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:
Romans 2:15 Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;)
By the deeds of the law nobody is justified, it is a law to not do sin, but there was no man without sin, none that does good, now the righteousness of God without the law, by faith of Christ.
Ecclesiastes 7:20 For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not.
Romans 3:12 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
Romans 3:20 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;
22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
A man is justified by the law of faith. Without the deeds of the law.
Romans 3:27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.
28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.
This however does not make the law VOID. God forbid. This ESTABLISHES THE LAW.
Romans 3:31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.
The law is holy just and good, the law is Spiritual, but man without Christ is carnal. Man cannot keep the righteousness of the law. Because the law is good, and man is not good. With the mind man serves the law of God, and with his flesh the law of sin.
Romans 7:13 Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.
14 Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful.
15 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.
16 For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I.
17 If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good.
Romans 7:25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.
We are free form the law of sin and death, as the law was weak through the flesh, as man as carnal has no abilities for the Spiritual law. Now the righteousness of the law is fulfilled in us, who are after the Spirit. The carnal mind is not subject to the law of God, and they in the flesh cannot please God.
Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
Israel is the example of trying to follow the law in righteousness, and being unable. Because to fulfill the righteousness of the law we need righteous faith in Christ.
Romans 9:31 But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness.
32 Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone;
Christ is the magnification of the law, for us to fulfill the righteousness of the law, of loving others through Christ's Spirit which is love, to not work ill to our neighbour but to keep the law to not sin,(as sin is the transgression of the law)....
Romans 10:4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.
Romans 13;8 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.
9 For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
10 Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.
The law is current in righteousness, women commanded to be under obedience as also says the law..
1 Corinthians 14:34 Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience as also saith the law.
We are not justified by te law, but by faith in Christ, the righteousness of the law through Christ our righteousness in our heart. The just walk by faith, the also do no unrighteousness, the righteousness of the law fulfilled in us..
Galatians 2:16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
Galatians 3:10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.
11 But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.
We were under the school master of the law, to bring us to faith in Christ, all we learned of the law is not dropped, we retain the knowledge we learned, all the righteousness of the law is done in us...
Galatians 3:24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
25 But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.
The law is good, not bad, the law is made for unlawful doers. The law was not thrown away, but changed, made more holy, more loving, more kinder, and more just..
1 Timothy 1:8 But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully;
9 Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,
10 For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine;
11 According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.
Hebrews 7:12 For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.
Hebrews 7:19 For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God.
We are not allowed to transgress the law, or offend in one point, no adultery, no killing, no stealing, not even looking on a woman lustfully, or being angry with our brother, and giving all away instead too, as all was magnified in honor in the law of liberty..
James 2:8 If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well:
9 But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors.
10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.
11 For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law.
12 So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.
Paul says things too deep for people. Righteousness will be missing, as people try to promote their own agendas. But all scriptures go together, not some, but all.
The law is all abandoned, only the confusion people try to say we are not justified by the works of the law, BECAUSE, we are justified by faith in Christ, who also shows the laws continue, but this time written in the heart in the righteousness of the law, not by the letter.
2 Peter 3:15 And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;
16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.

"FOR THE LAW WAS GIVEN THROUGH MOSES BUT GRACE AND TRUTH CAME THROUGH JESUS CHRIST!!"
There are 613 commandments or laws of Moses. About 50 of the laws are about sacrificing thousands of animals on the temple altar for the forgiveness of sins since without the shedding of blood there can be no forgiveness of sins. When Jesus was sacrificed for the forgiveness of sins these OT laws for the sacrificing of thousands of animals was **FULFILLED** and **THEN** these sacrificial laws of Moses were completely eliminated!!
Hebrews 10:11-18: Day after day every priest performs his religious duties again and again he offers the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. But when this Priest had offered for all time **ONE SACRIFICE FOR SINS**, He sat down at the right hand of God... Because by **ONE SACRIFICE** He has made ***PERFECT FOREVER*** those who are being made holy. The Holy Spirit also testifies to us about this. First he says: "This is the covenant I will make with them after that time says the Lord. I will put My laws in their hearts, and I will write them on their minds." The he adds" Their sins and lawless acts I will remember **NO MORE**." And when these have been forgiven, there is **NO LONGER ANY SACRIFICE FOR SIN**!!
Isaiah 53:5,6: But He was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon Him, and by His wounds we are healed. We all like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; and the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all!!
And so Jesus completely **FULFILLED** the Law for the sacrifices for sin!!
Matthew 5:17,18: Jesus says, "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets. I have not come to abolish them but to **FULFILL THEM**!! I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law **UNTIL EVERYTHING IS ACCOMPLISHED**!!"
Now anyone who tells you that Jesus did not change many other OT Laws is a Satanic liar!!
For example: there are about 20 Laws of Moses concerning the eating of certain animals in Leviticus 11:1--47. These laws were changed when God inspired Mark to write the book of Mark about AD 65:
IS IT OK TO EAT LOBSTER TAIL, SHRIMP AND HAM ACCORDING TO THE NT COVENANT WHICH WAS FORBIDDEN IN THE LAWS OF MOISES IN LEVITICUS 11:1-47??
Mark 7:18-23: Jesus says, "Are you so dull. Don't you see that nothing that enters a man can make him *UNCLEAN*? For it doesn't into his heart but into his stomach, and then out of his body. In saying this Jesus declared **ALL FOODS CLEAN**!" He then said: "What comes out of a man that makes him unclean. For from within, out of men's hearts, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly. All these evils come from **INSIDE** and make a man **UNCLEAN!!"
Acts 10:9-16: Peter went up on the roof to pray. He became hungry and wanted something to eat, and while the meal was being prepared, he fell into a trance. He saw heaven opened and something like a large sheet being let down to earth by the four corners. It contained all kinds of four-footed animals, as well as reptiles of the earth and birds of the air. Then a Voice told him, "Get up, Peter, kill and **EAT**!" "Surely not, Lord!" Peter replied. "I have never eaten anything impure or unclean." The Voice spoke to him a second time, "Do not call anything impure that **GOD HAS MADE CLEAN**!"{As per Mark 7:19 above) This happened **THREE TIMES**!, and the sheet was taken back to heaven!
I Timothy 4:1-5: The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. Such teachings come through **HYPOCRITICAL LIARS**, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron. They forbid people to marry and order them **TO ABSTAIN FROM CERTAIN FOODS**, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. For everything God created is good, and **NOTHING IS TO BE REJECTED** if it is received with thanksgiving, because it is consecrated by the word of God and prayer!!
I Corinthians 10:25: Eat **ANYTHING** sold in the meat market without raising questions of conscience, for, "The earth is the Lord's, and everything in it!"
Colossians 2:15,16: Therefore do not let anyone judge you by **WHAT YOU EAT** or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day. These are a **SHADOW** of the things that were to come, the reality, however, is found in Christ!!
Actually TNT you have apparently forgotten that the forbidding to eat certain animals birds and fish was strictly in the OT Covenant for Jews. According to Noah's Covenant and Adam's Covenant God allowed people to eat everything with the breath of life in it!!!!!
God's First Covenant with Adam:
Genesis 1:29,30: Then God said, "give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it They will be yours for food. And to **ALL THE BEASTS OF THE EARTH** and **ALL** the birds of the air and **ALL** the creatures that move on the ground--**EVERYTHING** that has the breath of life in it..for food!"
God's Second Covenant with Noah:
Genesis 9:1-3: Then God blessed Noah and his sons, saying to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the earth. The fear and dread of you will fall upon all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air, upon every creature that moves along the ground, and upon all the fish of the sea, they are given to your hands. **EVERYTHING** that lives and moves will be **FOOD FOR YOU**!!
Romans 3:22-25,27,28: This righteousness from God comes through **FAITH** in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. God promised Him as a sacrifice of atonement , through **FAITH** in His blood!!....Where, then, is boasting? It is excluded . On what principle? On that of observing the law? No, but that of **FAITH**! For we maintain that a man is justified by **FAITH** **APART FROM OBSERVING THE LAW**!
Galatians 2:14-16: Paul said, When I saw that they were not acting in line with the truth of the gospel, I said to Peter in front of them all, "You are a Jew, yet you live like a Gentile and not like a Jew. How is it, then that you force Gentiles to follow Jewish customs? We who are Jews by birth and not 'Gentile sinners' know that a man is NOT justified by observing the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in Christ and **NOT BY OBSERVING THE LAW**, because by observing the law no one will be justified.!"
Galatians 2:20,21: The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!"
Galatians 3:10-13: "All who rely on observing the law are under a curse, for it is written "Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law." Clearly no one is justified before God by the law, because, "The righteous will live by faith." The law is not based on faith; on the contrary, "The man who does these things will live by them." Christ redeemed us from the **CURSE OF THE LAW** by becoming a curse for us!
Galatians 3:23-25: "Before faith came, we were held prisoners by the law, locked up until faith should be revealed. So the law was put in charge to lead us to Christ that we might be justified by faith. Now that faith has come, *WE* ARE NO LONGER UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF THE LAW!!"
And so the **FULLFILLMENT OF THE LAW WAS COMPLETELY ACCOMPLISHED** when the last book of Revelation was written around AD 96!!
And anyone who tells you we are now under the **SUPERVISION OF THE OT LAW** is contradicting the sacred Words of God!!

You keep screaming, but you have no wisdom in you mister prophetic.
Now calm yourself down, and read more carefully. Christ did one sacrifice, as the High priest in His priesthood. 1 Peter 2 , the living stone chosen of God, and WE ALSO, as lively stones, ARE A HOLY PRIESTHOOD, TO ALSO OFFER UP SPIRITUAL SACRIFICES TO GOD BY JESUS CHRIST...
Hebrews 10:11-18: Day after day every priest performs his religious duties again and again he offers the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins. But when this Priest had offered for all time **ONE SACRIFICE FOR SINS**, He sat down at the right hand of God... Because by **ONE SACRIFICE** He has made ***PERFECT FOREVER*** those who are being made holy. The Holy Spirit also testifies to us about this. First he says: "This is the covenant I will make with them after that time says the Lord. I will put My laws in their hearts, and I will write them on their minds." The he adds" Their sins and lawless acts I will remember **NO MORE**."
1 Peter 2:4 To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious,
5 Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
1 Now instead of killing your brother and being guilty, we are guilty for being angry with our brother.
2 Now instead of being guilty for commiting adultery, we are guilty for looking lustfully on a woman and it is adultery as in the law.
3 Now we cannot divorce for uncleanness. We make ourself a eunuch for the Kingdom of Heavens sake. Matthew 19:9-12
4 Now we make vows without swearing by Heaven or earth, we keep what we vow, by our yes being yes. Jesus came against those who swear falsely, not to stop vows. Paul received the Gospel from Christ, we see the Gospel allowing Paul to vow. Acts 18:18. Malachi 3:5
5 Now we do not return eye for eye, we return blessing, and that blessing returns to us, this is the increased way of the law to overcome evil, with good. Luke 10:5-6. Romans 12:14/17. Hebrews 10:30
6 It was said to hate our enemy, it was also said to help your enemy, feeding our enemy heaps coals of fire of judgement on his head, a Spiritual stoning, the magnified law Christ set in the world. Romans 12:19-21
7 To enter life we keep the commandments, to not steal, and now contrawise we give all away also.
8 Sacrifices continue, our bodies are the living sacrifice, offering to God spiritual sacrifices. 1 Peter 2:5. Romans 12:1
9 The sabbath is increased, not decreased, every day is now holy to the Lord. Revelation 4:8
10 The man that perceives something is unclean, to him it is unclean. to the defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure. The Lord cleaned the Gentiles, cleaned the heart with a right Spirit. Hence why some animals were unclean, the same as Gentiles.1 Corinthians 9 confrims it was not spoken about animals at all. Romans 14:14. Titus 1:15. Psalms 51:10. Acts 10:28. 1 Corinthians 9:9-10
11 Circumcision of the heart and Spirit. Circumcision of the flesh is a token, circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith, the believer keeping the righteousness of the law, fulfilling the law not transgressing, (We are the circumcision, Philippians 3:3), (sin is the transgression of the law). Romans 2:26-29. Romans 4:11.
Matthew 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
21 Ye have heard that it was said of them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:
22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.
27 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:
28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
31 It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement:
32 But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.
34 But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne:
35 Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King.
38 Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:
39 But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
Matthew 19:16 And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?
17 And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
18 He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,
19 Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
20 The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?
21 Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.

False testimony again from mister prophetic..
prophetic wrote:
"And so the **FULLFILLMENT OF THE LAW WAS COMPLETELY ACCOMPLISHED** when the last book of Revelation was written around AD 96!!"
Matthew 5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
Heaven and earth pass away BEFORE, one jot or tittle paases from the law, THEN ALL IS FULFILLED.
"There are 613 commandments or laws of Moses. About 50 of the laws are about sacrificing thousands of animals on the temple altar for the forgiveness of sins since without the shedding of blood there can be no forgiveness of sins. When Jesus was sacrificed for the forgiveness of sins these OT laws for the sacrificing of thousands of animals was **FULFILLED** and **THEN** these sacrificial laws of Moses were completely eliminated!!"
Now the real truth. Christ sent us forth as lambs. It was in the law animals to sacrifice their blood. By the law all things are purged with blood. Christ (the lamb of God) gave His blood to stop the animal sacrificed blood, but notice below it says SACRIFICES....
Luke 10:3 Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves.
Hebrews 9:22 And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.
23 It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves WITH BETTER SACRIFICES than these.
So Heavenly sacrifices, Christ sacrificed Himself, His blood, we also in our Priesthood offer up sacrifices to the Lord, we being the lambs offer up our own blood, so the sacrifice of lambs did not cease at all but now became us and Spiritual sacrifices and Heavenly when before it was of the earth..
Revelation 6:9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar THE SOULS of them that were SLAIN FOR THE WORD OF GOD, and for the testimony which they held:
10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, HOW LONG, O LORD, HOLY AND TRUE, DOST THOU NOT JUDGE AND AVENGE OUR BLOOD on them that dwell on the earth?
1 Peter 2:5 Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
1 Peter 2:9 But ye are a chosen generation, a ROYAL PRIESTOOD, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light;
Revelation 1:5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,
6 And hath MADE US KINGS AND PRIESTS unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
Revelation 5:9 And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;
10 And HAST MADE US UNTO OUR GOD KINGS AND PRIESTS: and we shall reign on the earth.

"THE LAW WAS GIVEN THROUGH MOSES BUT GRACE AND TRUTH CAME THROUGH JESUS CHRIST!:
Leviticus 26:7,8: God said to Israel, "You will pursue your enemies, and they will fall by the SWORD before you. Five of you will chase a hundred, and a hundred of you will chase ten thousand, and your enemies will fall by the SWORD before you!" Numbers 25:16,17" The Lord said to Moses, "Treat the Midianites as enemies and kill them!" etc etc
HOWEVER IN THE NEW COVENANT, JESUS SAYS, "ALL WHO DRAW THE SWORD WILL DIE BY THE SWORD!"
Matthew 26:30-34: They seized Jesus and arrested Him. With that, one of Jesus' companions reached for his sword, drew it out and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear. "Put your sword back in its place," Jesus said to him, "For *ALL* who draw the sword will die by the sword...But how then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that say it must happen in this way?"
Jesus said to Pilate, "My Kingdom is not of this world. If it were, My servants would fight to prevent my arrest by the Jews. But **NOW** My Kingdom is from another place!"
Former OT commands in Exodus 21:23-25 "If there is serious injury, you are to take life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, burn for burn, wound for wound, bruise for bruise."
This was changed by these NT commands by Jesus:
Matthew 5:38,39: Jesus commands, "You have heard that it was said {In Exodus 21:23-25 above}, 'Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.' But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If someone strikes you on the right cheek turn to him the other also!"
Luke 6:27-29: Jesus commands, "LOVE YOUR ENEMIES, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. If someone strikes you on one cheek, turn to him the other also. If someone takes your cloak, do not stop him from taking your tunic. Give to everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you. do not demand it back!"
When you join the military and become a professional killer you must make a **VOW** that you will obey all the commands of your commanding officer. And so if He commands you to drop an Atomic Bomb that will kill about 100,000 civilians including about 25,000 innocent children you must obey this command!!!
What is the OT command concerning *VOWS* and *OATHS*?? Numbers 30:2: Moses said, "This is what the Lord commands: When a man makes a *VOW* to the Lord or takes an *OATH* to obligate himself by a pledge, he must not break his word but must do everything he said!"
What did Jesus command concerning making *VOWS* and **OATHS*??
Matthew 5:33-37: Jesus says, "You have heard that it was said to your people long ago {Numbers 30:2 above}, 'Do not break your oath, but keep the oaths you have made to the Lord.' BUT I tell you, Do not swear at all....Simply let your 'Yes' be 'Yes,' and your 'No, 'No'; anything beyond this comes from the evil one!!"
Leviticus 20:1,10: The Lord said to Moses.... "Both the adulterer and the adulteress **MUST BE PUT TO DEATH**"
Was this law changed by Jesus??
John 8:3-11: The teachers of the law and the Pharisees brought in a woman caught in the act of adultery. They said to Jesus, "Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery. In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what do you say?".. But Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with His finger. When they kept on questioning Him, He straightened up and said to them, "If anyone of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her." At this those who heard began to go away one at a time until only Jesus was left, with the woman still standing there. Jesus asked her, "Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?" "No one, sir," she said. "**THEN NEITHER DO I CONDEMN YOU," Jesus declared!!
In the OT we our commanded to love our brother as we love ourselves. Did Jesus change this command??
John 13:34,35: Jesus says, "A **NEW COMMAND** I give you. Love one another. As I have loved you, so you **MUST** love one anther. By this all men will know that you are My disciples!!"
John 15:13,14" Jesus says, "My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. You are My friends **IF** you do what I command!!"
Mark 7:18-23: Jesus says, "Are you so dull. Don't you see that nothing that enters a man can make him *UNCLEAN*? For it doesn't into his heart but into his stomach, and then out of his body. In saying this Jesus declared **ALL FOODS CLEAN**!" He then said: "What comes out of a man that makes him unclean. For from within, out of men's hearts, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly. All these evils come from **INSIDE** and make a man **UNCLEAN!!"
I Corinthians 9:21: I am under **CHRIST'S LAW**!!
Matthew 28:18-20: Jesus says, "All authority in heaven and earth has been given to Me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations... teaching them to obey **EVERYTHING** I have commanded you!!"
I John 2:3-5 We know that we have come to know Him if we obey **HIS COMMANDS**. The man who says, "I know Him," but does not do what **HE COMMANDS** is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But if anyone obeys His word, God's love is truly made complete in him!!
John 14:23,24: Jesus says, "If anyone loves Me, he will obey My teaching. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make Our home with him. He who does not love Me will not obey My teaching!"
Colossians 2:16,17: Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you **EAT** or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a **SABBATH DAY**. These are a **SHADOW** of the things that were to come, the reality, however, **IS FOUND IN CHRIST**!!
Romans 3:22-25,27,28: This righteousness from God comes through **FAITH** in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. God promised Him as a sacrifice of atonement , through **FAITH** in His blood!!....Where, then, is boasting? It is excluded . On what principle? On that of observing the law? No, but that of **FAITH**! For we maintain that a man is justified by **FAITH** **APART FROM OBSERVING THE LAW**!
Galatians 2:14-16: Paul said, When I saw that they were not acting in line with the truth of the gospel, I said to Peter in front of them all, "You are a Jew, yet you live like a Gentile and not like a Jew. How is it, then that you force Gentiles to follow Jewish customs? We who are Jews by birth and not 'Gentile sinners' know that a man is NOT justified by observing the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in Christ and **NOT BY OBSERVING THE LAW**, because by observing the law no one will be justified.!"
Galatians 2:20,21: The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!"
Galatians 3:10-13: "All who rely on observing the law are under a curse, for it is written "Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law." Clearly no one is justified before God by the law, because, "The righteous will live by faith." The law is not based on faith; on the contrary, "The man who does these things will live by them." Christ redeemed us from the **CURSE OF THE LAW** by becoming a curse for us!
Galatians 3:23-25: "Before faith came, we were held prisoners by the law, locked up until faith should be revealed. So the law was put in charge to lead us to Christ that we might be justified by faith. Now that faith has come, *WE* ARE NO LONGER UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF THE LAW!!"
And so the **FULLFILLMENT OF THE OT LAW WAS COMPLETELY ACCOMPLISHED** AND WE ARE NOW UNDER **CHRIST'S LAW** when the last book of Revelation was written around AD 96!!
And anyone who tells you we are now under the **SUPERVISION OF THE OT LAW** is contradicting the sacred Words of God!!

Jesus speaks clear for the people, who were worried He had come to destroy the law. He showed He came to FULFILL. Christ spoke truly and sincerely for us, UNTIL HEAVEN AND EARTH PASS, NO PART OF THE LAW PASSES, UNTIL ALL BE FULFILLED...
Matthew 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill.
18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
THE LAW, and the prophets were until John, then Christ takes over preaching the Kingdom of Heaven. ONE TINY PART OF THE LAW CANNOT FAIL, Heaven and earth pass before that. Christ THEN CONFIRMS THE LAW...
Luke 16:16 The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.
17 And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail.
18 Whosoever putteth away his wife, and marrieth another, committeth adultery: and whosoever marrieth her that is put away from her husband committeth adultery.
The last days are here, scoffers deny the signs of Christs coming, they try to say all is fulfilled already..
2 Peter 3:3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
These end days are WHEN ALL THAT IS WRITTEN MAY BE FULFILLED. The times of the gentiles needs to be fulfilled first, (Israel returned to the Jews from the Gentiles 1947) all the signs COMING TO PASS, and THEN our redemption draws near. When we see these things COME TO PASS(FULFILLED), then the kingdom of Heaven is near. This generation does not pass, UNTIL ALL BE FULFILLED. HEAVEN AND EARTH PASS, BUT HIS WORDS DO NOT PASS AWAY. PRAY ALWAYS TO BE ACCOUNTED WORTHY.
Luke 21:22 For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.
23 But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suckle, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people.
24 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.
25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
26 Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.
31 So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand.
32 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled.
33 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
34 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.
35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.
36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.
When is the sign when ALL THESE THINGS BE FULFILLED? DON'T BE DECEIVED, MANY come in the name of Christ saying they are Christ, (of Christ) and deceive MANY. Wars and such things must needs be, (to be fulfilled) but the end is not yet. There shall be great affliction, (or tribulation) don't believe the signs and wonders of the deceivers, Christ has foretold us all things, ( TO BE FULFILLED) This generation shall not pass, until ALL THESE THINGS BE DONE, ( ALL THESE THINGS BE FULFILLED) HEAVEN AND EARTH PASS BUT HIS WORDS DO NOT PASS AWAY..
Mark 13:4 Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled?
5 And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any man deceive you:
6 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
7 And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end shall not be yet.
Mark 13:19 For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be.
20 And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect's sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days.
21 And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he is there; believe him not:
22 For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.
23 But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things.
30 Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done.
31 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
When is the sign of the end of the world and when these things shall be, ( SHALL BE FULFILLED)? Take heed no man deceives you, many come in His name saying they are Christ and deceive many, we hear of wars , for ALL THESE THINGS MUST COME TO PASS, (BE FULFILLED) Great tribulation that there never was, so that nobody can survive the deceiving, but this generation shall not pass, UNTIL ALL BE FULFILLED, "Heaven and earth shall pass away, BUT MY WORDS SHALL NOT PASS AWAY"
Matthew 24:3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?
4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
Matthew 24:21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
Then comes the end, when He shall have put down all rule, WHEN ALL IS FULFILLED....
1 Corinthians 15:24 Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.
25 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.
26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
The righteousness of the law needs to be FULFILLED IN US, Christ returns when our OBEDIENCE IS FULFILLED, until all servants of God ARE FULFILLED, by being killed for the word of God, by the evil doers who GOD HAS PUT IN THEIR HEART TO FULFILL HIS WILL, UNTIL THE WORDS OF GOD SHALL BE FULFILLED.......
Romans 8:4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
Romans 13:8 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.
2 Corinthians 10:6 And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.
Revelation 6:11 And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.
Revelation 17:17 For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.

"What did Jesus command concerning making *VOWS* and **OATHS*??
Matthew 5:33-37: Jesus says, "You have heard that it was said to your people long ago {Numbers 30:2 above}, 'Do not break your oath, but keep the oaths you have made to the Lord.' BUT I tell you, Do not swear at all....Simply let your 'Yes' be 'Yes,' and your 'No, 'No'; anything beyond this comes from the evil one!!"
Do not swear, let your vow be yes, Paul who received the Gospel directly from Christ cannot be doing evil, or be an evil example, Paul did a simple vow..
Acts 18:18 And Paul after this tarried there yet a good while, and then took his leave of the brethren, and sailed thence into Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila; having shorn his head in Cenchrea: for he had a vow.

"Leviticus 20:1,10: The Lord said to Moses.... "Both the adulterer and the adulteress **MUST BE PUT TO DEATH**"
Was this law changed by Jesus??"
The adulterers will still be put to death , whom the Lord now judges.
John 8:11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
John 3:19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
Hebrews 13:4 Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whooremongers and adulterers God will judge.

"In the OT we our commanded to love our brother as we love ourselves. Did Jesus change this command??"
As Jesus loved us. To lay His life down for us. That is how we now understand what the love of God is. We had this commandment from the beginning, to love one anoher, but we never saw what it meant until Christ, then it became a new commandmentand explanation. The true light now shines, to enlighten all the righteous commandments in the law for us to see..
John 13:34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
1 John 3:16 Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.
2 John 1:5 And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.
1 John 2:7 Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye have heard from the beginning.
8 Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth.

Is God speaking about animals, or speaking about us? No doubt about us. For our hope, we were made clean, but some men remain unclean..
1 Corinthians 9:9 For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen?
10 Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope.
Acts 11:7 And I heard a voice saying unto me, Arise, Peter; slay and eat.
8 But I said, Not so, Lord: for nothing common or unclean hath at any time entered into my mouth.
9 But the voice answered me again from heaven, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.
Ephesians 5:5 For this ye know, that no whooremonger, NOR UNCLEAN PERSON, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, HATH ANY INHERITANCE in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

"Colossians 2:16,17: Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you **EAT** or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a **SABBATH DAY**. These are a **SHADOW** of the things that were to come, the reality, however, **IS FOUND IN CHRIST**!!
Romans 3:22-25,27,28: This righteousness from God comes through **FAITH** in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. God promised Him as a sacrifice of atonement , through **FAITH** in His blood!!....Where, then, is boasting? It is excluded . On what principle? On that of observing the law? No, but that of **FAITH**! For we maintain that a man is justified by **FAITH** **APART FROM OBSERVING THE LAW**!"
We cannot be judged by what we eat or drink, or sabbaths or holy day, we do not need to observe the law, WE DO NOT HAVE THE LAW, BUT, we do by NATURE, THE THINGS CONTAINED IN THE LAW. Showing God wrote the LAW IN OUR HEART...
Romans 2:14 For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:
15 Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;)
Hebrews 10:16 This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;
17 And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.
SALVATION IS 100% FREE BUT HEAVENLY REWARDS ARE 100% EARNED!!

Romans 3:22-25,27,28: This righteousness from God comes through **FAITH** in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. God promised Him as a sacrifice of atonement , through **FAITH** in His blood!!....Where, then, is boasting? It is excluded . On what principle? On that of observing the law? No, but that of **FAITH**! For we maintain that a man is justified by **FAITH** **APART FROM OBSERVING THE LAW**! {ADAM7777 disagrees with these inspired words of God!!}
Galatians 2:14-16: Paul said, When I saw that they were not acting in line with the truth of the gospel, I said to Peter in front of them all, "You are a Jew, yet you live like a Gentile and not like a Jew. How is it, then that you force Gentiles to follow Jewish customs? We who are Jews by birth and not 'Gentile sinners' know that a man is NOT justified by observing the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in Christ and **NOT BY OBSERVING THE LAW**, because by observing the law no one will be justified.!" {ADAM7777 disagrees with these inspired words of God!!}
Galatians 2:20,21: The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!" [ADAM7777 disagrees with these inspired words of God!!}
Galatians 3:10-13: "All who rely on observing the law are under a curse, for it is written "Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law." Clearly no one is justified before God by the law, because, "The righteous will live by faith." The law is not based on faith; on the contrary, "The man who does these things will live by them." Christ redeemed us from the **CURSE OF THE LAW** by becoming a curse for us! [ADAM7777 disagrees with these inspired words of God!!}
Galatians 3:23-25: "Before faith came, we were held prisoners by the law, locked up until faith should be revealed. So the law was put in charge to lead us to Christ that we might be justified by faith. Now that faith has come, *WE* ARE NO LONGER UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF THE LAW!!" {ADAM7777 disagrees with these inspired words of God!!}
Mark 7:18-23: Jesus says, "Are you so dull. Don't you see that nothing that enters a man can make him *UNCLEAN*? For it doesn't into his heart but into his stomach, and then out of his body. In saying this Jesus declared **ALL FOODS CLEAN**!" He then said: "What comes out of a man that makes him unclean. For from within, out of men's hearts, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly. All these evils come from **INSIDE** and make a man **UNCLEAN!!" {ADAM7777 disagrees with these inspired words of God!!}
Acts 10:9-16: Peter went up on the roof to pray. He became hungry and wanted something to eat, and while the meal was being prepared, he fell into a trance. He saw heaven opened and something like a large sheet being let down to earth by the four corners. It contained all kinds of four-footed animals, as well as reptiles of the earth and birds of the air. Then a Voice told him, "Get up, Peter, kill and **EAT**!" "Surely not, Lord!" Peter replied. "I have never eaten anything impure or unclean." The Voice spoke to him a second time, "Do not call anything impure that **GOD HAS MADE CLEAN**!"{As per Mark 7:19 above) This happened **THREE TIMES**!, and the sheet was taken back to heaven! {ADAM7777 disagrees with these inspired words of God!!}
I Timothy 4:1-5: The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. Such teachings come through **HYPOCRITICAL LIARS**, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron. They forbid people to marry and order them **TO ABSTAIN FROM CERTAIN FOODS**, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. For everything God created is good, and **NOTHING IS TO BE REJECTED** if it is received with thanksgiving, because it is consecrated by the word of God and prayer!! {ADAM7777 disagrees with these inspired words of God!!}
I Corinthians 10:25: Eat **ANYTHING** sold in the meat market without raising questions of conscience, for, "The earth is the Lord's, and everything in it!" {ADAM7777 disagrees with these inspired words of God!!}
Colossians 2:15,16: Therefore do not let anyone judge you by **WHAT YOU EAT** or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a **SABBATH DAY**. These are a **SHADOW** of the things that were to come, the reality, however, is found in Christ!! {ADAM7777 disagrees with these inspired words of God!!}
There are 613 commandments or laws of Moses. About 50 of the laws are about sacrificing thousands of animals on the temple altar for the forgiveness of sins since without the shedding of blood there can be no forgiveness of sins. When Jesus was sacrificed for the forgiveness of sins these OT laws for the sacrificing of thousands of animals was **FULFILLED** and **THEN** these sacrificial laws of Moses were completely eliminated!!
Hebrews 10:11-18: Day after day every priest performs his religious duties again and again he offers the same sacrifices {According to the laws of Moses}, which can never take away sins. But when this Priest had offered for all time **ONE SACRIFICE FOR SINS**, He sat down at the right hand of God... Because by **ONE SACRIFICE** He has made ***PERFECT FOREVER*** those who are being made holy. The Holy Spirit also testifies to us about this. First he says: "This is the covenant I will make with them after that time says the Lord. I will put My laws in their hearts, and I will write them on their minds." The he adds" Their sins and lawless acts I will remember **NO MORE**." And when these have been forgiven, there is **NO LONGER ANY SACRIFICE FOR SIN**!! [ADAM7777 disagrees with theses inspired words of God!!}
Isaiah 53:5,6: But He was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon Him, and by His wounds we are healed. We all like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; and the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all!!
And so Jesus completely **FULFILLED** the Law for the sacrifices for sin!!
Ephesians 1:5-8: In love He predestined us to be adopted as His sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with His pleasure and will--to the praise of His **GLORIOUS GRACE**, which He has freely given us in the One He loves. In Him we have **REDEMPTION THROUGH HIS BLOOD**, the **FORGIVENESS OF SINS**, in accordance with the riches of God's grace that He lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding!
is truly made complete in him!!
