The law the Lord gave is not an unrighteous one, but a righteous law. Jesus of course came not to destroy Gods law, but He came to fulfill it. No part of the law, not one jot, not one tittle passes away from the law. If one of the least commandments of the law is broken, we are the least, and if we do not do righteousness, we do not enter the kingdom of Heaven ever.
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, already..
3 Now we cannot divorce for uncleanness. Now we do more, we make ourself a eunuch for the Kingdom of Heavens sake.
4 Now we make vows without swearing by Heaven or earth, now we keep what we vow, Jesus came against those who swear falsely, not to stop vows at all.
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...
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, the magnified law Christ set in the world...
Deuteronomy 4:8 And what nation is there so great, that hath statutes and judgments so righteous as all this law, which I set before you this day?
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 19:8 He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.
9 And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.
10 His disciples say unto him, If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry.
11 But he said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it is given.
12 For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.
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.
Mathew 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Deuteronomy 24:1 When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it come to pass that she find no favor in his eyes, because he hath found some uncleanness in her: then let him write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her hand, and send her out of his house.
Ezekiel 11:19 And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them an heart of flesh:
Romans 14:14 I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean.
Malachi 3:2 But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap:
3 And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the LORD an offering in righteousness.
5 And I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against false swearers, and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger from his right, and fear not me, saith the LORD of hosts.
propjetic wrote:
"Paul did approve of 4 unbelieving Jews to take a **VOW** in Acts 21:23 but this took place **BEFORE** The book of Matthew was written about AD 65 where Jesus condemned taking vows in the NT Covenant as per Matthew 5:33-37: "
All false information from propjetic. The Jews were BELIEVERS...
Acts 21:20 And when they heard it, they glorified the Lord, and said unto him, THOU SEEST, BROTHER, HOW MANY THOUSANDS OF JEWS THERE ARE WHICH BELIEVE; and they are all zealous of the law:
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.
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.
Paul did a vow himself, because we can do vows, just not swear, because all belongs to the Lord. Paul received the Gospel directly from Christ, after Christ had lived and preached the Gospel and all things brought to remembrance of Matthew. To say Paul did against Christ and did not know about the Gospel of Christ, is and false and desperate...
Galatians 1:11 But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.
12 For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.
John 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
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.
Romans 12:17 Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.
18 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.
19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
20 Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.
21 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
Matthew 10:13 And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it: but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you.
Exodus 23:4 If thou meet thine enemy's ox or his donkey going astray, thou shalt surely bring it back to him again.
5 If thou see the donkey of him that hateth thee lying under his burden, and wouldest forbear to help him, thou shalt surely help with him.
No part of the law is diminished, the righteousness of the testimonies of the law of God are everlasting, who can show otherwise, when it is so simple and straightforward to see..
Psalms 119:144 The righteousness of thy testimonies is everlasting: give me understanding, and I shall live.
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.
Can prophetic show even one thing ended from the law as he keeps claiming, or we see every single thing continuing, but in the Spirit and in righteousness..
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.Mark 10:18-30 Luke 14:16-33.
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.
WE ARE LOKING FORWARD TO A NEW HEAVEN AND A NEW EARTH AND THE HEAVENLY NEW JERUSALEM!!
According to the OT Prophets in Isaiah 65:17 and Isaiah 66:22 {See also Daniel 7:27 & Daniel 12:2,3 & Daniel 2:44} God promised a NEW HEAVEN and a NEW EARTH and the OT saints were looking forward to this according to Hebrew 11:13-16. And the NT saints were also looking forward to this according to Revelation 21:1-5 and 2 Peter 3:10-13.
2 Peter 3:10-13: But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. the heavens will **DIISAPPEAR** with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire and the earth and everything in it will be burned up.. That day will bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will melt in the heat. But in keeping with His promise {In Isaiah 65:17 and Isaiah 66:22} we are looking forward to a **NEW HEAVEN** and a **NEW EARTH**, the home of righteousness!!
Revelation 21:1-3,5: Then I saw a **NEW HEAVEN** and a **NEW EARTH**, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no more sea. I saw the Holy City, the **NEW JERUSALEM**, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a **BRIDE** beautifully dressed for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Now the dwelling of God is with men and He will live with them....He who was seated on the throne said, "I am making everything new! Then He said , "Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true!!
Revelation 22:16,18,19: "I, Jesus, have sent My angel to give you this testimony for the churches...I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book. If anyone adds anything to them. God will add to him the plagues described in this book. And if anyone **TAKES WORDS AWAY** {Like ADAM7777} from this book of prophecy, God will take away from him his share in the tree of life and in the Holy City {The New Jerusalem with its New Heaven and New Earth}, which are described in this book!"
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 5:6: For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is **FAITH** expressing itself through love
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**!!
GOD'S BORN AGAIN FROM ABOVE SAINTS ARE **WASHED**, **SANCTIFIED** AND **JUSTIFIED**!!
I Corinthians 6:9-11: Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God. Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And that is what some of you **WERE**. But you were **WASHED**, you were **SANCTIFIED**, you were **JUSTIFED** in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of God!!
CAN GOD'S BORN AGAIN FROM ABOVE WHO ARE **WASHED**, **SANCTIFIED** AND **JUSTIFIED** LOSE THEIR SALVATION??
John 6:37,39,44: 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 him up at the Last Day!!"
DO GOD'S BORN AGAIN FROM ABOVE SAINTS STILL SIN AFTER THEY ARE SAVED??
I John1:8-10: If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. If we claim we have not sinned, we make Him out to be a liar and His Word has no place in our lives!!
Luke 10:2-4: Jesus said to His disciples, "When you pray, say: '*Father, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come. Give us each day our **DAILY** bread. **FORGIVE US OUR SINS**, for we forgive everyone who sins against us!!'"
CAN GOD'S BORN AGAIN FROM ABOVE SAINTS LOSE MANY HEAVENLY ETERNAL REWARDS IF THEY FAIL TO ASK FORGIVENESS FROM THEIR DAILY SINS; AND FAIL TO FAITHFULLY USE THE GIFTS GOD HAS GIVEN TO THEM??
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.
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**!�
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.
"WE ARE SAVED BY FAITH WHICH IS THE FREE GIFT OF GOD--NOT BY WORKS SO THAT NO ONE CAN BOAST!!"
Titus 3:3,4: At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another. But when the kindness and **LOVE** of God our Savior appeared , he saved us, **NOT BECAUSE OF RIGHTEOUS THINGS WE HAD DONE**, but because of **HIS MERCY**!!
Romans 11:5,6: At the present time there is a remnant **CHOSEN BY GRACE**! And if by grace it is **NO LONGER BY WORKS**; if it were, grace would no longer be grace!!
Romans 9:30-32: What then shall we say? That the Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, have obtained it, a righteousness that is **BY FAITH**; but Israel, who pursued a law of righteousness, has not attained it Why not? Because they pursued it **NOT BY FAITH** but as it were by works!!
Romans 4:5-8: To the man who does not work but trusts God who justifies the wicked, **HIS FAITH** is credited as righteousness. David says the same thing when he speaks of the blessedness of the man to whom God credits righteousness **APART FROM WORKS**: "Blessed are they whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered. Blessed is the man whose sin the Lord will **NEVER COUNT AGAINST HIM**!!" {Psalm 32:1,2}
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!
Ephesians 2:4-10: 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 **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 3:3: Jesus says, I tell you the Truth, no one can see the Kingdom of God **UNLESS HE IS BORN AGAIN!!"
John 1:12,13: To all who received Him, to those who believed in His name, he gave the right to become children of God--children born not of natural descent, **NOR OF A HUMAN DECISION** or a husband's will but, **BORN OF GOD**!!
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 him up at the Last Day!!... No one can come to Me **UNLESS** the Father has **ENABLED THEM**!!"
Romans 829-33,35,38,39: For those God foreknew He also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of His Son...And those He **PREDESTINED**, He also called; those He **CALLED**, He also justified; those He **JUSTIFIED** He also **GLORIFIED**. What shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare His Son but gave Him up for us all--how will He not also give us all things? Who will bring any charge against those **WHOM GOD HAS CHOSEN**? It is God who justifies. Who is he who condemns... Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?... For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels or demons, neither the present or the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord!!
