Thus said the Lord GOD to these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and you shall live: 6 And I will lay sinews on you and will bring up flesh on you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and you shall live, and you shall know that I am the LORD Body Soul and Spirit Narriw Path Worship Spirit and Truth Soul, Spirit & Body _cc781905-5cde-3194 -bb3b-136bad5cf58d_ _cc781905 -5cde-3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_ Fraværende fra kroppen til stede sammen med Jehova. Jeg tror at Skriften forteller oss at når vi dør, tar Jehova tilbake sin ånd, livspusten, vår sjel sover og kroppen vår forfaller til vi blir oppreist enten til liv eller til den andre døden. Hvis vi gjenoppstår til livet, vil vi få et nytt legeme som antydet i de neste versene. Troende som har dødd 1 Thessalonians 4:13 13 Brødre og søstre, vi vil ikke at dere skal være uvitende om dem som sover i døden, så dere ikke sørger som resten av menneskeheten, som ikke har noe håp? 14 For vi tror at Yeshua døde og stod opp igjen, og derfor tror vi at Gud vil føre med Yeshua de som er sovnet inn i ham. 15 Etter Herrens ord sier vi dere at vi som fortsatt er i live, som er igjen til Herrens komme, ikke skal gå foran dem som er sovnet inn. 16 For Herren selv skal komme ned fra himmelen med et høyt bud, med erkeengelens røst og med Guds basunrop, og de døde i Kristus skal først oppstå. 17 Deretter skal vi som ennå lever og er venstre vil bli fanget sammen med dem i skyene for å møte Herren i luften. Og så vil vi være hos Herren for alltid. 18 Oppmuntr derfor hverandre med disse ordene. Trygghet om oppstandelsen 1 Corinthians 15:49 Og likesom vi har båret det jordiske menneskes bilde, skal vi også bære det himmelske menneskes bilde. 50 Jeg forkynner eder, brødre og søstre, at kjøtt og blod ikke kan arve Guds rike, heller ikke det forgjengelige arver det uforgjengelige. 51 Hør, jeg forteller dere et mysterium: Vi skal ikke alle sove, men vi skal alle forvandles – 52 i et glimt, i et øyeblikk, ved den siste basunen. For basunen skal lyde, de døde skal oppstå uforgjengelige, og vi skal bli forvandlet. 53 For det forgjengelige skal kle seg i det uforgjengelige, og det dødelige i udødelighet. 54 Når det forgjengelige er blitt ikledd det uforgjengelige og det dødelige med udødelighet, da vil det ordtaket som er skrevet: «Døden er blitt oppslukt i seier.» 2 Corinthians 5:8 For vi vet at dersom vårt jordiske hus, dette telt, blir ødelagt, har vi en bygning fra Gud, et hus som ikke er gjort med hender, evig i himmelen. 2 For over dette stønner vi, og ønsker inderlig å bli ikledd vår bolig, som er fra himmelen, 3 om vi, etter å ha vært kledd, ikke skal bli funnet nakne. 4 For vi som er i dette telt, stønner og er tynget, ikke fordi vi ønsker å bli avkledd, men ytterligere kledd, for at jordelivet skal bli oppslukt av livet. 5 Han som har beredt oss til nettopp dette, er Gud, som også har gitt oss Ånden som garanti. 6 Så vi er alltid trygge, og vet at mens vi er hjemme i kroppen, er vi fraværende fra Herren. 7 For vi vandrer i tro, ikke ved å se. 8 Vi er trygge på, ja, heller glade i å være borte fra kroppen og være tilstede hos Herren. 9 Derfor setter vi vårt mål, enten det er tilstede eller fraværende, å være ham velbehagelig. 10 For vi må alle stå frem for Kristi dommersete, for at hver og en kan få det som er gjort ved legemet, etter det han har gjort, enten det er godt eller ondt. 11 Da vi derfor kjenner Herrens redsel, overtaler vi mennesker; men vi er godt kjent for Gud, og jeg tror også er velkjent i deres samvittighet. Femte segl: Martyrenes rop Åpenbaringene 6:9 Da han åpnet det femte segl, så jeg under alteret sjelene til dem som var blitt drept for Guds ord og for det vitnesbyrd de hadde.10 Og de ropte med en høy røst som sa: «Hvor lenge, Herre, hellige og sanne, før du dømmer og hevner vårt blod på dem som bor på jorden?» 11 Så fikk hver av dem en hvit kappe; og det ble sagt til dem at de skulle hvile en liten stund til, inntil både tallet på deres medtjenere og deres brødre, som ville bli drept som de, var fullført? Og ånden vil vende tilbake til Gud Forkynneren 12:5 For mennesket skal gå til sitt hjem som varer evig, mens folk fylt av sorg går rundt på gaten. 6 Husk ham før livets sølvtau brytes og gullfatet knuses. Husk ham før potten ved brønnen knuses og hjulet ved vannhullet knuses. 7 Da skal støvet vende tilbake til jorden slik det var. Og ånden vil vende tilbake til Gud som ga den Genesis 2:7 Da formet Herren Gud mennesket av jordens støv. Han blåste livspust inn i mannens nesebor, og mannen ble et levende menneske. Job 27:3 3 All den stund min ånde er i mig, og Guds ånd er i mine nesebor; Job 33:4 4 Guds Ånd har skapt mig, og den Allmektiges ånde har gitt meg liv. Ecclesiastes 12:7 7 Da skal støvet vende tilbake til jorden som det var, og ånden skal vende tilbake til Gud som ga den. 1 Corinthians 2:11 11 For hvilket menneske vet hva et menneske har, uten menneskets ånd som er i ham? slik kjenner ingen andre ting som hører Gud til, men Guds Ånd. Ezekiel 37:5-6 5 Så sier Herren, Israels Gud til disse ben: Se, jeg vil la pust komme inn i deg, og du skal leve. 6 og jeg vil legge sener på deg og føre kjøtt på deg og dekke deg med hud og gi deg pust, så skal du leve. og dere skal kjenne at jeg er Herren. Hvem har steget opp til himmelen? Det er fire anledninger i Bibelen hvor det ser ut til at enkeltpersoner har gått til himmelen; Elias, Lasarus og tyven på korset og fraværende fra kroppen tilstede hos Jehova. 2 Kongebok 2:11 Da hendte det, mens de fortsatte og snakket, at plutselig dukket det opp en ildvogn med ildhester og skilte dem to fra hverandre. og Elias steg opp til himmelen i en virvelvind. Johannes 3:13 Ingen er steget opp til himmelen uten han som er kommet ned fra himmelen, det vil si Menneskesønnen som er i himmelen. 2 Krønikebok 21:12 Og det kom et brev til ham fra profeten Elias, hvor det stod: 10 år senere beviser dette brevet at han (Elijah) ikke ble tatt til himmelen) Slik sier Herre, din fars Davids Gud: For du har ikke vandret på veiene til Josafat din far, eller som Asa, Judas konge, Rik mann og Lasarus ● Lukas 16:19-23 «Det var en rik mann som var kledd i purpur og fint lin og hadde det overdådig hver dag. 20 Men det var en tigger ved navn Lasarus, full av sår, som ble lagt ved hans port, 21 som ønsket å bli mettet med smulene som falt fra den rikes bord. Dessuten kom hundene og slikket sårene hans. 22 Så var det at tiggeren døde og ble båret av englene til Abrahams barm. Den rike mannen døde også og ble gravlagt. 23 Og da han var i pine i Hades, løftet han sine øyne og så Abraham langt borte og Lasarus i hans barm. Luke 16:29 Abraham sa til ham: De har Moses og profetene; la dem høre dem.» 30 Og han sa: Nei, far Abraham! men hvis noen går til dem fra de døde, skal de omvende seg.'»31 Men han sa til ham: «Hvis de ikke hører Moses og profetene, vil de heller ikke la seg overbevise om en står opp fra de døde.» Tyv på korset Lukas 23:39-42 Så sa han til Jesus: «Herre, husk meg når du kommer inn i ditt rike.» 43 Og Jesus sa til ham: «Sannelig, jeg sier deg, i dag skal du være med Meg i paradis." Ha dette i bakhodet Hebraiske skrifter hadde ikke komma. Det står "paradis", ikke himmelen. Tyven sa: "Husk meg når du kommer inn i ditt rike." Johannes 20:17 Yeshua sa til henne: Hold deg ikke til Meg, for jeg er ennå ikke steget opp til min Far; men gå til mine brødre og si til dem: Jeg stiger opp til min Far og deres Far og til min Gud og deres Gud. For akkurat som Jona var tre dager og tre netter i magen til den store fisken, slik skal Menneskesønnen være tre dager og tre netter i jordens hjerte. fraværende fra kroppen tilstede hos Jehova. Trygghet om oppstandelsen 2 Corinthians 5:8 For vi vet at dersom vårt jordiske hus, dette telt, blir ødelagt, har vi en bygning fra Gud, et hus som ikke er laget med hender, evig i himmelen. 2 For over dette stønner vi, og ønsker inderlig å bli ikledd vår bolig som er fra himmelen, 3 om vi ikke skal bli funnet nakne etter å ha vært kledd. 4 For vi som er i dette telt, stønner og er tynget, ikke fordi vi ønsker å bli avkledd, men ytterligere kledd, for at jordelivet skal bli oppslukt av livet. 5 Han som har beredt oss til nettopp dette, er Gud, som også har gitt oss Ånden som garanti. 6 Så vi er alltid trygge, og vet at mens vi er hjemme i kroppen, er vi fraværende fra Herren. 7 For vi vandrer i tro, ikke ved å se. 8 Vi er trygge på, ja, heller glade i å være borte fra kroppen og være tilstede hos Herren. 9 Derfor setter vi vårt mål, enten det er tilstede eller fraværende, å være ham velbehagelig. 10 For vi må alle stå frem for Kristi dommersete, for at hver og en kan få det som er gjort ved legemet, etter det han har gjort, enten det er godt eller ondt. 11 Da vi derfor kjenner Herrens redsel, overtaler vi mennesker; men vi er velkjente for Gud, og jeg tror også er velkjente i deres samvittighet. Ecclesiastes 12:7 da skal støvet vende tilbake til jorden slik det var, og ånden skal vende tilbake til Gud som ga den 1 Corinthians 2:11 11 For hvilket menneske vet hva et menneske har, uten menneskets ånd som er i ham? slik kjenner ingen andre ting som hører Gud til, men Guds Ånd. Ezekiel 37:5-6 5 Så sier Herren, Israels Gud til disse ben: Se, jeg vil la pust komme inn i deg, og du skal leve: 6 og jeg vil legge sener på deg og føre kjøtt på deg og dekke deg med hud og gi deg pust, så skal du leve, og du skal vite at jeg er HERREN.

- Test Your Self | Answers 4 Saints
The Diagnostic Test — Spirit of Truth or Spirit of Tradition? Use these four questions to examine yourself or guide a brother or sister through honest self-reflection: 1. The Humility Test (John 16:13 & Acts 17:11) The Question: When clear biblical evidence exposes that an inherited church belief or holiday violates Scripture, what is your immediate response? Spirit of Truth: "Let God be true and every man a liar." You yield to the text, repent, and abandon the tradition, regardless of the personal or family cost. Spirit of Tradition: You become defensive, dismiss the study, justify church custom, or claim "God knows my heart." 2. The Obedience Test (1 John 2:3–4 & John 14:15) The Question: “Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments. He who says, ‘I know Him,’ and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.” Do you strive to obey His commandments, or do you view His law as a burden? Spirit of Truth: Obedience is your act of love and fruit of repentance. Spirit of Tradition: Uses grace as an excuse for disobedience, claiming the commandments don't apply anymore. 3. The Authority Test (Mark 7:7–9) The Question: When God's Word says one thing and your denomination or favorite preacher says another, who wins? Spirit of Truth: Scripture alone holds final authority over doctrine and daily life. Spirit of Tradition: Denominational catechisms, pastors' opinions, and family heritage overrule the text. 4. The Name Test (Matthew 1:21 & Acts 4:12) The Question: When shown that Gabriel assigned the Hebrew name Yeshua ("Yahweh is Salvation"), carrying the Father's personal redemptive signature, does your spirit leap to honor it, or do you despise its Hebrew origin? Spirit of Truth: Receives the name with reverent joy, marveling at the Father's salvation. Spirit of Tradition: Clings to familiarity and mocks or rejects the original Hebrew truth. Part 3: The Watchman’s Mandate “Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; therefore hear a word from My mouth, and give them warning from Me: When I say to the wicked, ‘You shall surely die,’ and you give him no warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life, that same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood I will require at your hand. Yet, if you warn the wicked, and he does not turn from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you have delivered your soul.” — Ezekiel 3:17–19 To the Reader: This warning is delivered to you not in hatred, but in urgent love. You have now been shown the mirror of Scripture. The difference between what God commanded and what man instituted is clear. In Romans 8:1–14, Paul sets up an absolute, binary divide. There is no middle ground or third category: a person is either governed by the mind of the flesh (sarx) or the Spirit of God (Pneuma). Paul does not frame this test around emotional experiences or external religious performance, but around dominion, mindset, and alignment with God's law. 1. The Starting Position: Condemnation vs. Freedom (vv. 1–4) What God Said: The Mosaic Law was holy and just, but it was "weakened by the flesh"—it could command righteousness, but human nature could not produce it. God fulfilled the righteous requirement of the Law by sending His Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to condemn sin in the flesh. The Mark of Having the Spirit: The believer walks "not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit" (v. 4). The law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set them free from the law of sin and death. The Contrast: The flesh is trapped under an endless cycle of command, failure, and condemnation. The Spirit produces an internal reality where the demand of God's Word is actively loved and lived out. 2. The Mindset Test: Setting the Affections (vv. 5–6) "For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace." (vv. 5–6) The Mind of the Flesh: Governed by temporal preservation, self-elevation, appetites, and autonomous human reasoning. Its ultimate end is spiritual decay and death. The Mind of the Spirit: Preoccupied with what honors God—truth, holiness, obedience, and kingdom purposes. The Test: What does the mind naturally drift toward when unrestrained? The flesh defaults to self-interest; the Spirit defaults to God's will, resulting in inner stability (life and peace). 3. The Authority Test: Hostility vs. Submission (vv. 7–8) "For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God's law; indeed, it cannot. Those who are in the flesh cannot please God." (vv. 7–8) This is the diagnostic core of Paul’s argument: The Flesh Cannot Submit: The natural human heart views God's absolute authority as an imposition or a threat to autonomy. Even when outwardly observant, it negotiates, modifies, or excuses disobedience. It is fundamentally at war with "God Said." The Inability to Please God: Good deeds, religious ceremonies, or moral philosophies done under the impulse of the flesh remain unacceptable to God because the underlying will has never surrendered. 4. The Ownership Test: The Indwelling Presence (vv. 9–11) "You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit of God dwells in you. Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him." (v. 9) Paul’s Binary Conclusion: You either possess the Spirit and belong to Christ, or you do not have the Spirit and are alien to Him. There is no category of a Christian who lacks the Spirit of Christ. The Internal Witness: If Christ is in you, the natural body remains subject to physical death because of sin, but the spirit is alive because of imputed and imparted righteousness (v. 10). The Guarantee: The same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead acts as a residing power, imparting resurrection life even to mortal bodies to walk in holiness now (v. 11). 5. The Mortification and Sonship Test (vv. 12–14) "For if you live according to the flesh you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God." (vv. 12–14) Active Mortification: Having the Spirit does not mean passive sinlessness; it means active warfare. The true believer does not coddle the flesh or make peace with compromise—they actively put to death the misdeeds of the body through the Spirit's power. Led by the Spirit: In biblical context, being "led by the Spirit" in verse 14 does not refer primarily to mystical nudges about career or life choices; it refers directly to being led away from sin and into righteousness. Summary Table: Romans 8 Diagnostic Diagnostic Marker The Mind of the Flesh (Lacking the Spirit) The Mind of the Spirit (Having the Spirit) Primary Impulse Self-preservation, worldly interest, autonomy (v. 5) Righteousness, divine purpose, eternal truth (v. 5) Relation to God's WordHostile, resisting, unable to submit (v. 7) Submissive, fulfilled by the Spirit's power (v. 4, 7) Spiritual Fruit Death, alienation, inability to please God (vv. 6, 8) Life, peace, reconciliation with the Father (v. 6) Daily Habit Indulging or rationalizing the body's appetites (vv. 12–13) Actively mortifying the deeds of the flesh (v. 13) Identity Debtor to the fallen nature; outside Christ (vv. 9, 12) P ossessed by Christ; confirmed son/daughter of God (vv. 9, 14)

21 Steps to Salvation Calvinism vs Arminianism bottom of page click on God cannot stand the prayers of anyone who disobeys his Law. Proverbs 28:9 In Isaiah 66:15-17, we see that in the context of the Lord’s return, when He returns, He is clearly upset that people are eating pork. If He cares then, why would we assume that He does not care now? 1. Hear the True Gospel The first step of the build is listening to the unfiltered, original message of God. “From that time Yeshua began to preach and to say, ‘Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.’” — Matthew 4:17 “And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” — John 8:32 What this means: You cannot build a straight wall if you are reading a warped blueprint. Hearing the true Gospel means listening to the actual Word of God—not human traditions, clever shortcuts, or watered-down messages that just make people feel good in the pew. It is the moment you hear the real standard for the very first time. 2. Believe the True Gospel True belief is not just agreeing with facts; it is placing your absolute confidence and weight on the message. “But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.” — Hebrews 11:6 What this means: Believing means you look at the plumb line and say, "That string is perfectly straight, and I trust it completely." It is an inner conviction that drives you to action. If you don't truly believe the blueprint is accurate, you will never bother to change how you are laying your bricks. 3. Repent of Past Sins Repentance is a deliberate, U-turn in direction. It means stopping your lawlessness and turning back toward the Law of God. “I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish.” — Luke 13:3 What this means: Since 1 John 3:4 tells us that sin is breaking God's law, your old wall was naturally leaning and crooked. Repentance is the moment you drop your tools, admit your wall is out of line, and make a firm decision to tear down the old, lawless way of living so you can rebuild it straight. 4. Confess Faith in Yeshua Messiah Confession is the public declaration of who is in charge of your building site. “For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” — Romans 10:10 What this means: Confession is nailing your colors to the mast. It means standing up and declaring out loud to the world, to the adversary, and to the assembly: "Yeshua is my Master, and I am building my life on His foundation from this day forward." 5. Be Baptized Baptism is the physical and spiritual washing away of the rubble from your old life. “Then Peter said to them, ‘Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Yeshua Messiah for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.’” — Acts 2:38 What this means: Going under the water is the formal burial of the old, crooked structure. You don't build a new house on top of old trash. You clear the lot. Baptism washes away the stain of past lawlessness so you can step out of the water onto a clean, solid foundation. 6. Be Faithful Unto Death Loyalty to the Creator must be absolute, even when the pressure of the world threatens to break you. “Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life.” — Revelation 2:10 What this means: This is the ultimate test of the structure. When the storms of persecution, sickness, or trials hit the wall, a true believer refuses to let a single brick slip. It means your loyalty to the Master Builder stays intact even if holding the line costs you your physical life. 7. Obey Him for Eternal Salvation The author of salvation specifically identifies who His work is for: those who follow His instructions. “And having been perfected, He became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him.” — Hebrews 5:9 What this means: The Master Builder only claims ownership of the walls that actually followed His blueprints. Faith that refuses to obey is an illusion. Salvation belongs to the people who don't just call Him "Lord," but who actually submit to His authority and do what He asks. 8. Live Exactly as Yeshua Did The Messiah's walk on this earth is the ultimate, flawless example for our daily lives. “He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked.” — 1 John 2:6 What this means: Yeshua is the living plumb line. If you want to know how to treat people, how to handle temptation, or how to keep God's commands, you look at His life. If a custom or a lifestyle choice doesn't square up with how Yeshua walked, it does not belong in your wall. 9. Do What the Word Says, Don't Just Listen True faith is an active, hands-on construction project, not a spectator sport. “But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.” — James 1:22 What this means: Sitting in a pew and nodding along with a sermon doesn't build anything. If you know what the Bible says but don't practice it on Monday morning, you are fooling yourself. True faith requires you to pick up the trowel and actually lay the bricks according to the instructions. 10. Possess the Spirit of Christ True conversion requires the supernatural presence of the Holy Spirit living inside you. “Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His.” — Romans 8:9 What this means: The Holy Spirit is the gravity that keeps the plumb line straight. Without the Spirit living inside your heart, you have no power to keep the wall in line, and you don't belong to the Owner of the house. You must have His seal on the inside. 11. Receive the Holy Spirit Through Obedience God places His Spirit inside those who have a heart bent toward submission. “And we are His witnesses of these things, and so also is the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey Him.” — Acts 5:32 What this means: God does not pour His Holy Spirit into a vessel that intends to stay rebellious and lawless. The Spirit is given as a helper to help you keep the Law. When you step out in willingness to obey, God anchors His supernatural strength deep inside your life. 12. Call on the Name of Yeshua Messiah Deliverance and strength come from actively crying out to the authority and identity of the Son. “For ‘whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.’” — Romans 10:13 What this means: When the wall is leaning, when your own strength fails, or when the enemy attacks, you don't rely on yourself. You call on the name and the legal authority of Yeshua. It is an active cry for help to the only One who has the power to hold the structure together. 13. Keep the Commandments to Enter Into Life When asked directly how to inherit eternal life, the Messiah pointed straight back to God's boundaries. “Jesus said to him... ‘If you want to enter into life, keep the commandments.’” — Matthew 19:17 What this means: Commandments are not heavy burdens; they are the side-guards that keep the wall from warping. Since sin is breaking the law, keeping the commandments is how we show we love God and want our lives to stay completely square with His righteousness. 14. Trust the Son to Not Perish Escape from the penalty of lawlessness requires absolute reliance on the sacrifice of the Messiah. “That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.” — John 3:15,16 What this means: No matter how hard we try to build straight, our past sins would condemn us if not for Jesus. Trusting the Son means knowing that His blood covers our imperfections and saves our structure from facing the ultimate collapse of spiritual death. 15. Walk by Faith, Not by Sight The Christian walk requires trusting God’s structural blueprint even when circumstances look dark and confusing. “For we walk by faith, not by sight.” — 2 Corinthians 5:7 What this means: Sometimes the fog of life rolls in, and you can't see two feet in front of you. Walking by faith means you don't guess or look around at what everyone else is doing. You trust the plumb line in your hand because you know God's weight is true, even when your eyes can't see the top of the line. 16. Obey the Son to Avoid Angry Judgment Rejecting the instructions of the King leaves a person exposed to the holy consequences of rebellion. “He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.” — John 3:36 What this means: You cannot claim to believe in Jesus while actively refusing to listen to Him. Intentional disobedience is rebellion, and a wall built in open defiance of the Blueprints will eventually face inspection and be completely demolished under divine judgment 17. Be Born Again Salvation requires a radical, supernatural transformation from above—not just a superficial patch-job. “ Yeshua answered and said to him, ‘Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.’” — John 3:3 What this means: God doesn't just want to fix a few cracks in your old wall; He wants to give you a brand-new nature. Yeshua told Nicodemus that what is born of the flesh is flesh, and what is born of the Spirit is spirit, moving like the wind. If you claim you are already fully "born again" right now, why are you still trapped in a temporary body of flesh and blood instead of a glorified, immortal spirit body? Are you confusing the earnest promise of the Holy Spirit inside you today with the actual, physical rebirth that only happens at the resurrection of the dead? True rebirth replaces the temporary structure of flesh with an immortal house from heaven. 18. Produce Good Deeds So Faith Isn't Dead Active obedience and good fruit are the unmistakable evidence of a living faith. “Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.” — James 2:17 What this means: Faith is invisible until it shows up in your actions. If someone claims to be a master builder but has never laid a single brick or done a single good deed, their claim is useless. True, saving faith will always show up clearly in the work you do for God's kingdom. 19. Worship God in Spirit and Truth True service to the Father requires complete honesty, removing the masks of religious pretense. “God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.” — John 4:24 "What this means: This means stop pretending to be a flawless saint in the church pew if you are falling apart on the inside. Worshiping in truth means standing perfectly vertical before God, baring your soul, and saying, "Lord, here is exactly where my wall is leaning." Furthermore, Acts 5:32 states that God gives the Holy Spirit to those who obey Him. This principle emphasizes that a willing, obedient heart is a key condition for receiving and experiencing the empowering presence of the Spirit. If you do not have the Spirit of Christ, you are none of His. Because 1 John 3:4 warns that "sin is the transgression of the law," walking in the Spirit is the only way to overcome the flesh and keep from breaking God's boundaries. 20. Endure Until the End Salvation is a marathon, not a sprint. The prize is given to those who finish the entire construction project. “But he who endures to the end shall be saved.” — Matthew 24:13 What this means: It’s not about how fast you start; it’s about whether your structure stands the test of time. True believers don't pack up their tools and walk away when the culture turns against them or when things get tough. They stay on the wall, checking the line, until the project is completely finished. 21. Be Grafted Into Israel Believers from the nations are joined directly into God’s original, enduring covenant family tree. “And if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive tree, were grafted in among them, and with them became a partaker of the root and fatness of the olive tree...” — Romans 11:17 What this means: You are not a lone house sitting out on an island by yourself. By faith in the Messiah, God links your life directly into the great, historic fortress of His covenant people—Israel. You share in their root, their history, their promises, and their responsibilities to the King. 3 Commonly Misunderstood Bible Questions Answered For it is by grace [God’s remarkable compassion and favor drawing you to Christ] that you have been saved [actually delivered from judgment and given eternal life] through faith. Many are called but few are saved. Matthew 22:14 And this [salvation] is not of yourselves [not through your own effort], but it is the [undeserved, gracious] gift of God; God has pronounced that the penalty of sin is spiritual death and separation from God in a place of judgment called hell: “For the wages of sin is death” (Romans 6:23). Jesus clearly taught that sinners were condemned in sin and would perish and go to hell if they didn't believe in Him as their Savior (John 3:16-18). What are the 21 steps to salvation? 1 John 3:4 Whosoever committed sin transgression also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. Hear the True Gospel. (Matthew 4:17 John 8:32) Believe the True Gospel (Hebrews 11:6, John 20:31) Repent of past sins (Luke 13:3, Acts 17:30) Confess faith in Yeshua Messiah (Romans 10:10, Matthew 10:32) Be Baptized (Galatians 3:27, Mark 16:16, Acts 2:38) Be faithful unto death (Revelation 2:10) For all who obey him eternal salvation Hebrews 5:9 Whoever claims to live in him must live as Yeshua did.1 John 2:6 But don't just listen to God's word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves. James 1:2 And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, they do not belong to Christ. Romans 8:1 We are witnesses of these things and so is the Holy Spirit, who is given by God to those who obey him.” Acts 5:32 “whoever calls on the name of the Yeshua Messiah shall be saved.Romans 10:13-15 For But if thou wouldest enter into life, keep the commandments. Matthew 19:16-26 That whosoever believe i n him should not perish, but have eternal life…John 3:15,16 For we live by faith, not by sight. (Hebrews 11:6) 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.2 Corinthians 5:7 And anyone who believes in God’s Son has eternal life. Anyone who doesn’ t obey the Son will never experience eternal life but remains under God’s angry judgment.” John 3: Yeshua Messiah replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again. ”John 3:3 So you see, faith by itself isn’t enough. Unless it produces good deeds , it is dead and useless. James 2:17-23 You must worship God in TRUTH and SPIRIT John 4:24 You must endure until the end to be saved . Matthew 24:13 We must be grafted into Israel. Romans 11:11-31 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: "Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree." He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Yeshua Messiah so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit. Galatians 3:14 Explanation Obedience is a requirement for receiving the Holy Spirit, along with faith in Christ's sacrifice. Repentance, or turning away from sin and toward obedience, is also required. The Holy Spirit gives guidance and companionship, and enables people to obey, kill sin, and be sanctified. "Born of the Spirit" (regeneration) is a spiritual rebirth, a work of the Holy Spirit that gives us new life and makes us capable of understanding and responding to God. Without this spiritual birth, one cannot "see" or "enter" the Kingdom of God (heaven). 1. The Holy Spirit Indwells Believers as a Mark of Salvation :The Holy Spirit Indwells Believers as a Mark of Salvation: 2.The Holy Spirit is the Seal and Guarantee of Our Inheritance : Ephesians 1:13-14: "In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory." 3. The Holy Spirit Regenerates and Gives New Life: 4. The Holy Spirit Sanctifies and Transforms Us: Chist redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: " Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree. " He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Yeshua Messiah so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit. Galatians 3:14 The decrees of Yehovah are trustworthy , making wise the simple. The commandments of Yehovah are right, bringing joy to the heart. The commands of Yehovah are clear, giving insight into living. Reverence for Yehovah is pure , lasting forever. The laws of Yehovah are true ; each one is fair. They are more desirable than gold, even the finest gold. They are sweeter than honey, even honey dripping from the comb. They are a warning to your servant, a great reward for those who obey them. Psalm 19:7 The one who belongs listens and responds to Yehovah's words. If you don't listen and respond , it is because you don't belong to Yehovah." John 8:47 Some say that God's promises to those who obey him include: Being blessed Being saved Being watched over Being taken care of Being given what you ask for Being happy Living longer Lacking nothing good God's Law Reflects God's Character (Who He Is): The ultimate source of all truth is God Himself. He is perfectly holy, just, righteous, good, and loving. His law, therefore, is not arbitrary rules, but an expression of His very nature. It reveals what is inherently true, good, and right because it stems from the perfectly true, good, and righteous God. Psalm 119:142 says, "Your righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, And Your law is truth. " This verse directly links God's righteousness (His character) with His law being truth. The Law as Divine Instruction and Revelation: In the Old Testament, the Hebrew word "Torah" (often translated as "Law") literally means "instruction," "teaching," or "guidance." It's not just a list of prohibitions, but a comprehensive revelation of God's will and wisdom for how humanity should live and how they can have a relationship with Him. Since God is truth, His instructions are true. They accurately describe reality, the nature of good and evil, and the path to genuine life and flourishing. Psalm 19:7-9 beautifully describes the law: "The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul; The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple; The precepts of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; The commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes; The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever; The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether." Notice the consistent emphasis on truth, purity, and righteousness. The Law Exposes Sin and Points to Reality: The law serves as a mirror, showing humanity its imperfection and sinfulness in contrast to God's perfect standard. In this sense, it is "true" because it accurately diagnoses the human condition. Romans 3:20 states, "for through the law comes knowledge of sin." The law truthfully reveals what is wrong, what deviates from God's intended design for creation and humanity. Jesus Christ Embodies and Fulfills the Law/Truth: Jesus said, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life" (John 14:6). He is the ultimate revelation of God's truth. He also stated that He came not to abolish the Law, but to fulfill it (Matthew 5:17). He perfectly lived out the Law and, through His sacrifice, perfectly satisfied its righteous demands on behalf of humanity. Therefore, the truth found in the Law ultimately points to and is embodied by Jesus Christ. The Law Guides Towards a True and Abundant Life: Living in accordance with God's law, empowered by the Holy Spirit, leads to a life that is truly abundant, meaningful, and aligned with God's design. This is not about earning salvation, but about living out the reality of being a new creation in Christ. The moral principles embedded in the law are timeless and beneficial for human flourishing, regardless of one's belief system. For example, honesty, faithfulness, and respect for life are universally recognized as good. In summary, when we say "the law is truth," we mean that God's law is a direct reflection of His unchanging, perfect, and truthful character. It is a divine revelation that accurately defines reality, distinguishes right from wrong, exposes sin, and ultimately points to Jesus Christ as the fulfillment of all truth and the source of true righteousness. It provides guidance for a life that is genuinely good and pleasing to God. Key Differences and Implications The Reformed (Calvinist) Order of Salvation The Armenian/Wesleyan Order of Salvation What is the Order of Salvation? The ordo salutis (Latin for "order of salvation") is a theological construct in Christian soteriology that describes the logical (not always strictly chronological) sequence of God's saving acts applied to the believer. It originates from Reformed theology but has been adapted across traditions, highlighting the interplay between divine sovereignty and human response Rooted in passages like Romans 8:29–30 (the "golden chain" of salvation), it underscores salvation as God's initiative from eternity to consummation. While all orthodox Christians affirm the core elements—such as Christ's atonement, faith, justification, and glorification—the order varies significantly between Reformed (Calvinist) and Arminian /Wesleyan views. Reformed theology prioritizes monergism (God's sole work), placing regeneration before faith, while Arminianism emphasizes synergism (cooperation via free will enabled by grace), placing faith before regeneration. The Reformed (Calvinist) Order of Salvation In this view, salvation begins with God's eternal decree and proceeds irresistibly, with human faith as a result of divine regeneration rather than its precondition. A typical sequence includes: Election/Predestination: God's sovereign choice of individuals before creation, based on His will alone (Ephesians 1:4–5). Calling: An outward gospel proclamation and inner, effectual call by the Spirit (Romans 8:30). Regeneration: The Holy Spirit imparts new spiritual life to the elect, enabling faith (Titus 3:5; Ezekiel 36:26). Conversion (Faith and Repentance): The regenerated sinner trusts Christ and turns from sin, as gifts from God (Ephesians 2:8–9). Justification: God declares the believer righteous, imputing Christ's merit (Romans 5:1). Adoption: Believers enter God's family as heirs (Galatians 4:4–7). Sanctification: Progressive growth in holiness, empowered by the Spirit (1 Thessalonians 5:23). Perseverance: God's preservation of the saints unto the end (Philippians 1:6). Glorification : Final perfection at Christ's return (Romans 8:30). This order emphasizes that no one can contribute to their salvation, avoiding any implication of merit. The Arminian/Wesleyan Order of Salvation Arminians stress prevenient (preceding) grace that restores free will to all sinners, making faith the condition for receiving salvation's benefits. Regeneration follows faith, and perseverance is conditional on continued belief. Roger Olson's classical Arminian sequence is: Electing Grace in Christ: God's election of all who will believe (foreseen faith). Atonement: Christ's universal provision for sinners. Prevenient Grace: God's enabling grace through the gospel, convicting and illuminating (Titus 2:11). Conversion (Repentance and Faith): The sinner's free response to believe and repent. Regeneration, Justification, Adoption , Union with Christ, Indwelling Spirit: Initial saving acts upon faith (John 3:3–5; Romans 5:1). Sanctification: Progressive (and potentially entire) holiness. Glorification: For those who persevere through faith. A broader Arminian outline includes universal/resistible calling before faith, with sanctification open to full freedom from sin's power in Wesleyan thought. Key Differences and Implications Faith vs. Regeneration: Reformed: Regeneration causes faith (monergistic). Arminian: Faith precedes and conditions regeneration (synergistic). Election: Reformed: Unconditional (individual selection). Arminian: Conditional (based on foreseen faith or corporate election in Christ). Calling and Perseverance: Reformed: Irresistible and guaranteed. Arminian: Resistible and dependent on human cooperation. Practical Ramifications: Reformed views foster assurance in God's sovereignty; Arminian emphasizes responsibility and warning against apostasy (Hebrews 6:4–6). These frameworks unite in affirming salvation by grace through Christ alone, differing mainly in emphasis to guard biblical truths like sovereignty (Reformed) and love for all (Arminian). For deeper reading, explore primary sources like the Westminster Confession (Reformed) or Arminius's writings.

Yehovah gave us a set of instructions He called the Torah. The Torah consists of the first five books of the bible. There are approximately 600 instructions in the Torah, some for men, some for women, some for Priests, some for children and others pertaining to the temple. The Complete Jewish Bible CJB Gods Commands 613 OT and 1050 NT Gods Instructions God’s Promises to Those Who Keep His Commands The Ten Commandments: God's Law of Love Video Marathon: The Ten Commandments 613 Laws of God Don't Just Hear Torah, Live Torah The purpose of life Torah video There is now one single law that rules both Jew and Greek alike: One law for Jews and Greeks: faith in the crucified and risen Jesus. That is why Paul can say in the very next breath after “neither Jew nor Greek”: “You are all one in Christ Jesus. And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s offspring, heirs according to the promise” (Galatians 3:28–29). Same promise. Same inheritance. Same law. No exceptions. No special tracks. This is what the Bible define sin Breaking the Sabbath? Yes (Exodus 20:8) — By working, shopping, or doing regular business on the 7th day. Gossip or Talebearing? Yes (Leviticus 19:16) — By sharing rumors or venting about others behind their backs. Dishonest Business/Time? Yes (Deuteronomy 25:13-15) — By cutting corners on the job or cheating an employer on hours. Holding a Grudge? Yes (Leviticus 19:18) — By keeping a mental scorecard or harboring hidden bitterness. Showing Favoritism? Yes (James 2:9) — By treating someone better because of their wealth or social status. Tuning Out God's Commands? Yes (Proverbs 28:9) — By actively closing your ears to the Law, which makes even your prayers detestable. Willful Ignorance? Yes (Leviticus 5:17) — By breaking a command even if you claim you "didn't realize" it; the Bible still holds you accountable. Refusing to Listen to Warning? Yes (Zechariah 7:11-12) — By stopping up the ears and making the heart like flint so the words of the Law cannot get through. Forgetting the Law Over Time? Yes (Hosea 4:6) — By neglecting to study or pass down the commandments until they are forgotten entirely. Replacing the Messiah's True Hebrew Name? Yes (Jeremiah 23:27, Exodus 23:13) — By substituting the original Hebrew name Yeshua (which means "Yahweh is Salvation") with translated names, which many scriptural literalists argue obscures His true identity, lineage, and the Hebrew roots of the faith. General Disobedience to God's Commandments? (1 John 3:4, Matthew 19:17) — By walking in intentional lawlessness and choosing not to live according to the rules and instructions laid out by the Father. Ignoring God's Appointed Days (Feasts/Moedim)? (Leviticus 23, Numbers 29:40) — By bypassing or replacing the set-apart calendar dates God specifically called "My Feasts" and commanded His people to keep forever. Instead keeping Pagan Christmas and Easter Violating God's Dietary/Food Laws? Yes (Leviticus 11, Deuteronomy 14) — By eating animals that God explicitly designated as unclean and forbidden, which defiles the body He called to be set apart. Teaching against obedience to God’s commandments is a betrayal of His Word because it directly undermines His authority in four ways: It Erases the Definition of Sin: Scripture explicitly defines sin as "the transgression of the law" (1 John 3:4). If you throw out the Law, you destroy the only boundary that defines right from wrong. It Defies Yeshua’s Direct Warning: The Messiah specifically warned that anyone who breaks the commandments and teaches others to do so will be called the least in the Kingdom (Matthew 5:19).If "least" literally meant a low-ranking person inside the Kingdom, Yeshua would be saying that a carnal, commandment-breaking believer is somehow spiritually superior to John the Baptist. That makes no sense. But if "least" means the person who hasn't even entered yet (the mortal believer still waiting on the outside), the phrase makes perfect sense. Conclusion: Sin is the transgression of God's law (1 John 3:4) , then the key question is whether a particular action violates a command of God as revealed in Scripture. Therefore, determining what is or is not sin should come from God's Word rather than personal opinion, tradition, culture, or majority belief. If God commands it, obedience is righteousness; if God forbids it, disobedience is sin. The standard is not what people think, but what God has spoken. Spiritual separation from God: "Your iniquities have separated you from your God" (Isaiah 59:2). Ongoing sin creates distance in your relationship with God. Guilt, shame, and inner torment: Many people describe a heavy conscience, anxiety, or spiritual emptiness. Damaged character and bondage: Yeshua said, "Everyone who practices sin is a slave to sin" (John 8:34). Habits of lying, lust, anger, greed, etc., get stronger and harder to break. Earthly consequences: Broken relationships, health issues (e.g., from sexual sin, addiction, violence), financial ruin, loss of reputation, and legal problems. Eternal consequences: The New Testament warns that unrepentant, ongoing sin leads to spiritual death and hell (Romans 6:23 – "The wages of sin is death"). However, genuine repentance and faith Yeshua brings forgiveness. The Greatest Commandment And you shall teach them diligently to your children and speak of them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. 8 Tie them as reminders on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. 9 Write them on the doorposts of your houses and on your gates.… And you shall bind them for a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. 2 Timothy 3:16 After the Ten Commandments, God gave the Israelites a vast body of laws, traditionally summarized as the Law of Moses, or the Torah. These laws, found primarily in the books of Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy, provided a comprehensive framework for the Israelites' religious, social, and civil life. Jewish tradition holds that there are 613 commandments (known as the mitzvot) within this law. These commandments are often categorized into three main groups: Moral Laws: These are the ethical principles that reflect God's character and are universally applicable. The Ten Commandments are the core of this category, but it also includes principles like "love your neighbor as yourself" and prohibitions against gossip and injustice. Ceremonial Laws: These laws pertained to religious rituals and worship, designed to set the Israelites apart and teach them about holiness and atonement. They include instructions on: Sacrifices and Offerings: Detailed rules for different types of sacrifices for sin, peace, and thanksgiving. The Priesthood: Regulations for the priests (the tribe of Levi) and their duties in the Tabernacle. Festivals and Holy Days: Observances for events like Passover, the Day of Atonement, and the Feast of Tabernacles. Dietary Laws: The rules of kosher (clean and unclean) foods. Civil (or Judicial) Laws: These laws governed the daily life of the Israelite community and dealt with matters of justice, property, and social order. They were designed to create a just and compassionate society and included regulations on: Judicial Procedures: Rules for fair trials, the need for multiple witnesses, and punishments for various crimes. Property Rights: Laws concerning theft, damage, and inheritance. Social Justice: Specific protections for the poor, widows, orphans, and foreigners, reflecting God's concern for the vulnerable. The purpose of this extensive legal code was to establish Israel as a "kingdom of priests and a holy nation," distinct from the surrounding pagan cultures. The laws were not simply a list of rules, but a means to guide the Israelites in their covenant relationship with God and to prepare them for life in the Promised Land. 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. 18 For I tell you truly, until heaven and earth pass away, not a single jot, not a stroke of a pen, will disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. 19 So then, whoever breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do likewise will be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever practices and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.… The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple; NIV The law of the Lord is perfect, refreshing the soul. The statutes of the Lord are trustworthy, making wise the simple. Psalms 19:7 Proverbs 28:9 9 Den som vender sitt øre bort fra å høre på loven, selv hans bønn er en vederstyggelighet.

Ved dette vet vi at vi er i ham: Jakob 1:25 Men den som ser inn i frihetens fullkomne lov og fortsetter å gjøre det – ikke som en glemsom tilhører, men en effektiv gjører – han skal bli velsignet i det han gjør. Salmene 19:7 Herrens lov er fullkommen, den forfrisker sjelen. Herrens forskrifter er pålitelige, de gjør de enkle vise. 8 Herrens befalinger er rett, de gir hjertet glede. Herrens bud lyser og lyser for øynene.9 Frykten for Herren er ren, den varer evig, Herrens befalinger er faste, og de er alle rettferdige.10 De er dyrere enn gull enn mye rent gull; de er søtere enn honning, enn honning fra honningkaken. 11 Ved dem er din tjener advart; ved å holde dem er det stor lønn.12 Men hvem kan skjelne sine egne feil? Deuteronomy 11:19 Lær dem til dine barn. Snakk om dem når du er hjemme og når du er på veien, når du skal legge deg og når du står opp. Jeremia 31:33 "Dette er den pakt jeg vil slutte med Israels folk etter den tid," sier Herren. «Jeg vil legge min lov i deres sinn og skrive den på deres hjerter. Jeg vil være deres Gud, og de skal være mitt folk 2 Timothy 3:16 16 Hele Skriften er innåndet av Gud og nyttig til undervisning, irettesettelse, rettledning og opplæring i rettferdighet, 17 forat Guds tjener kan være fullt utrustet til all god gjerning. Det er over 20 vers som beviser utover rimelig tvil at Guds fullkomne lov fortsatt er intakt. (Vennligst se "Er loven virkelig avskaffet?") Pastoren din sier at loven er et åk rundt halsen din: Guds sier: Deuteronomy 4:8 Og hvilket folk er det så stort som har lover og lover så rettferdige som hele denne lov, som jeg legger frem for eder i dag? Femte Mosebok 30:11 Denne befalingen jeg gir deg i dag, er ikke så vanskelig for deg å forstå, og den er ikke utenfor din rekkevidde. Revelations 22:14 14 Salige er de som gjør hans bud, så de kan ha rett til livets tre og gå inn gjennom portene til byen. Pastoren din sier at sabbaten er endret, Guds sier: Esekiel 22:26,27 "Hennes prester (dine pastorer) har gjort vold mot min lov og vanhelliget mine hellige ting; de har ikke gjort noen forskjell på det hellige og det vanhellige, og de har ikke lært forskjellen på det urene og det vanhellige. rene, og de skjuler sine øyne for mine sabbater, og jeg vanhelliges blant dem. 27 "Hennes fyrster i henne er som ulver som river rov, ved å utøse blod og ødelegge liv for å få uærlig vinning. … (det er ikke en eneste vers i hele Bibelen som endrer det) Ezekiel 20:12 Og jeg ga dem mine hviledager på sabbaten som et tegn mellom dem og meg. Det var for å minne dem om at jeg er Herren, som hadde utskilt dem til å være hellig. (Du vil ikke finne ett skriftsted i din personlige bibel som endrer eller fjerner Guds hellige sabbat) Din pastor sier: Jesus erklærte alt kjøtt for rent Gud sier: Markus 7:19 "For det går ikke inn i deres hjerte, men inn i magen deres og deretter ut av kroppen." Kirkens lære la følgende til skriftstedet "Ved å si dette erklærte Jesus all mat ren." Tenk over dette: Hvis Jesus sa dette, kunne han ikke være vår Frelser. Han ville synde og bryte Guds befaling om kostholdsinstruksjoner. Vær på vakt hvis du møter et vers som er i konflikt med alle andre skriftsteder. (Skriften identifiserer hva som er mat, ikke menneske) Isaiah 65:1 1 Jeg rekker ut mine hender dagen lang til et gjenstridig folk, 2 som vandrer på en vei som ikke er god, etter deres egne tanker; 3 Et folk? som stadig vekker meg til vrede for mitt ansikt; 4 som ofrer i hager og brenner røkelse på altere av murstein, 4 som sitter blant gravene og overnatter i gravene; som eter svinekjøtt, og buljong av avskyelige ting er i deres kar; Isaiah 66:16 16 For med ild og ved sitt sverd skal Herren dømme alt kjød; Og de drepte av Herren skal bli mange. 17 De som helliger seg og renser seg for å gå til hagene. Etter en avgud midt iblant, som spiser svinekjøtt og vederstyggelighet og mus, skal de fortæres sammen, sier Herren. Pastoren din sier: "Og så min dom er at vi ikke skal gjøre det vanskelig for hedningene som vender seg til Gud. Gud sier: Acts 15:19 Derfor er det min dom at vi ikke skal skape problemer for hedningene som vender seg til Gud. …20 I stedet bør vi skrive og fortelle dem at de skal avstå fra mat som er forurenset av avguder, fra seksuell umoral, fra kjøtt av kvalt dyr og fra blod. synagoger på hver sabbat." De fleste av oss hopper over vers 21, dette er Toraen, de fem første bøkene i Bibelen. Har du noen gang hørt dette på noe bibelstudium? Dette er alt som kreves for frelse. Pastoren din sier: loven er bare for jødene: Guds sier: Galaterne 3:26 Dere er alle Guds sønner ved troen på Kristus Yeshua 27 For alle dere som ble døpt til Kristus, har ikledd dere Kristus? 28 Det er verken jøde eller greker, (eller kristen) slave eller fri, mann eller kvinne, for dere er alle ett i Kristus Yeshua. 29 Og hvis dere tilhører Kristus, så er dere Abrahams ætt og arvinger etter løftet. Romerne 8:7 For den syndige natur er alltid fiendtlig mot Gud. Den adlød aldri Guds lover, og den vil aldri gjøre det. Det er derfor de som fortsatt er under kontroll av sin syndige natur aldri kan behage Gud. Pastoren din sier: Paulus sier, du er under nåden ikke loven. Paul sier: Galaterne 5:17 For kjødet begjærer det som er i motsetning til Ånden, og Ånden det som er i strid med kjødet. De står i motsetning til hverandre, så dere ikke gjør som dere vil...18 Men hvis dere blir ledet av Ånden, er dere ikke under loven. 1 Korinter 11:1 Dere skal etterligne meg, likesom jeg etterligner Kristus. Apostlenes gjerninger 24:14 "Men dette bekjenner jeg for dere at etter den vei som de kaller en sekt, således tilber jeg mine fedres Elohim, idet jeg tror at alt som er skrevet i loven og i profetene tilhører Kristus, da du er Abrahams ætt ● Romerne 8:14 For alle som blir ledet av Guds Ånd, er Guds sønner Pastoren din sier: Ikke for å dømme folk etter hva de spiser eller drikker eller hvordan de feirer høytider eller Guds sabbatsdag. Paul sier: Colossians 2:16 16 La derfor ingen dømme eder i mat eller drikke eller med hensyn til helligdager eller nymåne eller sabbatsdager 17 som er en skygge av det som skal komme; men legemet er av Kristus. Gud forteller sine barn at de ikke skal la hedningene dømme for å være lydige og holde Guds lover og statuer, alt dette vil bli observert i årtusenet. Dette avsnittet er hentet fra brevet til kolosserne, en gruppe mennesker som nylig har kommet ut av hedenske skikker og inn i Kristi fellesskap. Paulus advarer nye tilhengere om ikke å lytte til kritikken fra hedenske tilbedere. Hedensk tilbedelse er i strid med Guds lov og vedtekter Pastoren din sier: Vi er under en ny pakt som ikke er pålagt å holde lovene: Gud sier: Jeremia 31:33 "Dette er den pakt jeg vil slutte med Israels folk etter den tid," sier Herren. «Jeg vil legge min lov i deres sinn og skrive den på deres hjerter. Jeg vil være deres Gud, og de skal være mitt folk Jeremia 31:31 Se, de dager kommer, sier Herren, da jeg vil slutte en ny pakt med Israels hus og med Judas hus. Hebreerne 8:10 For dette er den pakt jeg vil slutte med Israels hus etter de dager, sier Herren. Jeg vil legge mine lover i deres sinn og skrive dem inn i deres hjerter. Og jeg vil være deres Gud, og de skal være mitt folk. Ezekiel 36:26-27 Jeg vil gi dere et nytt hjerte og gi dere en ny ånd; Jeg vil ta steinhjertet ut av ditt kjød og gi deg et hjerte av kjøtt. Jeg vil gi Min Ånd i deg og la deg vandre i mine forskrifter, og du skal holde mine lover og gjøre dem. Din pastor sier: loven ble spikret til korset Gud sier: Romerne 8:2 For i Kristus Yeshua har livets Ånds lov frigjort dere fra syndens og dødens lov. Galaterne 5:18 Men hvis dere blir ledet av Ånden, er dere ikke under loven. "Syndens og dødens lov" eskorterer, eller bringer oss, til Kristus ved å påpeke at vi er i trelldom/under forbannelsen. Det er ikke før "syndens og dødens lov" lærer oss at vi er forbannet og i trelldom, at vi kan komme til Messias i tro som vår Frelser. Uten den kunnskapen ville vi ikke ha noen grunn til å komme til ham. Pastoren din sier: Gud forandret alt for hedningene fordi Israel ikke kunne holde sine lover, Gud fjernet dem og tok dem av veien. Når du svarer på disse spørsmålene, husk at du dømmer Guds karakter. Motsier Guds ord seg selv? Står Guds ord for alltid? Gjør Gud noe uten å åpenbare det gjennom sine profeter først? Lyver Gud? Ombestemmer Gud seg; Holder Gud alltid sine løfter? 1 Corinthians 14:33 For Gud er ikke forvirringens opphav, men freden, som i alle de helliges menigheter. Isaiah 40:8 8 Gresset visnet; blomsten visnet, men vår Guds ord skal stå til evig tid. Johannes 10:35 om han kalte dem guder, som Guds ord kom til, og Skriften kan ikke brytes, 1 Peter 1:25 Men Herrens ord varte til evig tid. Og dette er ordet som ved evangeliet er forkynt for dere. Amos 3:7 Sannelig, Herren Gud vil ikke gjøre noe, men han åpenbarte sin hemmelighet for sine tjenere profetene. Kommer du til å fortsette å følge kirken som sier at Skriften er endret eller avskaffet, eller vil du følge Gud som sier at Skriften ikke kan brytes? Numbers 23:19 19 Gud er ikke et menneske, så han lyver ikke. Han er ikke menneskelig, så han ombestemmer seg ikke. Har han noen gang snakket og unnlatt å handle? Matteus 25:31-34 Når Menneskesønnen kommer i sin herlighet, og alle de hellige engler med Ham, da vil han sitte på sin herlighets trone. Alle folkeslagene skal samles foran ham, og han skal skille dem fra hverandre, som en hyrde skiller sauene sine fra bukkene. Og han skal sette sauene på sin høyre hånd, men bukkene på venstre side. Da skal kongen si til dem på hans høyre side: "Kom, dere velsignede av min Far, arv det riket som er beredt for dere fra verdens grunnvoll ble lagt." Guds rike vil da bli styrt av Yeshua, og vil bli arvet av dem som har blitt herliggjort ved oppstandelse fra de døde. De oppstandne hellige – borgere av Guds rike – vil regjere sammen med Yeshua over de gjenværende folkene på jorden (Daniel 7:27; 2. Timoteus 2:12; Åpenbaringen 2:26-28; 5:9-10; 20:4-6; 22:5). Hva er Rikets lover? ● Dommerne 21:25. Loven er rett og slett en veiledning for folk å følge for å sikre samhold, enighet og fred i sivile og mellommenneskelige forhold. Uten en forstått standard, håndhevet av en suveren hersker, ville enhver handle i henhold til sitt eget innfall eller ønske, og ingenting godt eller verdifullt ville Dommer 2 bli produsert. Guds rike er ikke annerledes. 1. Korinter 14:33 Gud er ikke opphav til forvirring. Hans rike vil være fredelig og ryddig fordi alle som vil gå inn i det vil frivillig ha underkastet seg Guds lov - budene -. Gud vil ikke ha noen i sitt rike som viser, etter sitt livs mønster, at han ikke vil adlyde ham. (Matteus 7:21-23; Hebreerne 10:26-31). Åpenbaringen 12:17 beskriver de hellige som de "som holder Guds bud og har Jeshuas vitnesbyrd. Disse to utsagnene – å elske Gud og å elske din neste som seg selv – innkapsler henholdsvis de fire første og de seks siste budene. Budene definerer bare ytterligere hvordan man skal elske Gud og elske mennesker. Vi elsker Gud generelt ved å sette ham først, ved ikke å ta i bruk fysiske hjelpemidler for å tilbe ham, ved ikke å bære hans navn forgjeves og ved å holde syvendedags sabbat hellig. Vi elsker mennesker, generelt, ved å ære foreldrene våre, ikke myrde, ikke begå utroskap, ikke stjele, ikke lyve og ikke begjære. ● Johannes 14:15 "Hvis dere elsker meg, hold mine bud. "Den som har mine bud og holder dem, det er han som elsker meg. Og den som elsker meg skal bli elsket av min Far, og jeg skal elske ham og manifester meg for ham." "Dersom noen elsker meg, han vil holde mitt ord, og min Far skal elske ham, og vi vil komme til ham og bo hos ham. Den som ikke elsker meg, holder ikke mine ord; og ordet som dere hører er ikke mitt, men fedrene som har sendt

The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him .Don't put your trust in human leaders; no human being can save you. When they breathe their last, they return to the earth, Just as man is appointed to die once, and after that to face judgment. Unanswerable questions Kanskje du også ønsker å presentere noen eller alle disse spørsmålene til din favorittpastor eller lærer. Dette er hva kirken din lærer. Den første som sier sin sak virker rett inntil en annen kommer og kryssforhører ham. Ordspråkene 18:17 Ikke sett din lit til menneskelige ledere; ingen mennesker kan redde deg. Når de puster ut, vender de tilbake til jorden, og alle deres planer dør med dem. Salme 146:3 Akkurat som mennesket er utnevnt til å dø én gang, og deretter til å møte dommen, Hebreerne 9:27 Gud er ikke forvirringens, men fredens Gud. 1. Korinterbrev 14:33 Hvis Guds lov er blitt bedre, og Guds lov er fullkommen (Salme 19:7), er det å si at det som allerede er definert som fullkomment kan gjøres bedre? Hvis vi har blitt frigjort fra Guds lov, og Guds lov er frihet (Salme 119:44-45), er det å si at vi kan bli frigjort fra frihet? Kan sannhet gjøres til ikke sannhet? (Salme 119:143;160) Side 2 av 4 Kan ikke veien til rettferdighet lenger være rettferdighetens vei? (5. Mosebok 4:8, Ordspråkene 2:20; Jesaja 51:7, 2. Peter 2:21; 2 Timoteus 3:16) Kan Guds veier endre seg til en annen måte? (2. Mosebok 18:20; 5. Mosebok 10:12; Josh 22:51; 1 Kongebok 2:3; Salme 119:1; Ordspråkene 6:23; Er 2:3; Malakias 2:8; Markus 12:14; Apostlenes gjerninger 24:14) 6) Hvis Guds lov er evig, og Guds lov opphører, er det ordtaket at evig kan ta slutt? Betyr det at evig liv også kan ta slutt? (3. Mosebok 16:31; 1. Krønikebok 16:15; Salme 119:160; Jesaja 40:8) 7) Kan det som definerer synd bli opphevet? Kan synd være synd en dag og ikke synd en annen dag? Endres definisjonen av synd? (4. Mosebok 15:22-31; Daniel 9:11; 1 Johannes 3:4) 9) Kan det som er liv ikke lenger være liv? (Job 33:30; Sl 36:9; Ordspråkene 6:23; Åpenbaringen 22:14) 10) Hvis Gud er Ordet, og Gud ikke kan forandre seg, hvordan kan vi da foreslå at Guds ord forandret? (Johannes 1:1; Malakias 3:6) Hvis vi skal glede oss over Guds lov, skal vi da ikke lenger glede oss over den? (Salme 1:2; 112:1; 119:16; 119:35; 119:47; 119:70; 119:77; 119:92; 119:174; Jesaja 58:13; Romerne 7:22) (side 29) Hvis når loven ble skrevet ned, ble vi bedt om å vandre i den (5. Mosebok 10:11-13), vel vitende om at Kristus fulgte den samme loven, og Johannes sa at vi skulle vandre nøyaktig slik han vandret (1 Joh 2:5) -6), mens Paulus sa at vi skulle følge Kristi eksempel (1. Korinterbrev 11:1), ville vi da ikke følge de samme budene som Kristus fulgte? _cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b-1589bad5cf-5cf-5b3b3cf-5cf5b5cf5cf5cf5cf5cf5cf5cf5cf5cf5cf5cf5cf5cf5cf5cf5cf5cf5cf5cf5cf Hvis Kristus er Ordet som er gjort kjød, og Kristus er Guds Ord (Johannes 1:14; Åpenbaringen 19:13), og visstnok noe av Guds Ord er opphevet, kom han på korset for å avskaffe deler av seg selv? Hvis Guds lov handler om å elske Gud og å elske andre, er hvordan å elske Gud og elske andre gjenstand for forandring? (2. Mosebok 20:6; 5. Mosebok 5:10; 5.Mosebok 7:10; 11:13; 11:22; 30:16; 6:5; 3. Mosebok 19:18; Nehemja 1:5; Daniel 9:4; Matteus 22:35-37; 10:39; 16:25; Jo 14:15; 14:21; Romerne 13:9; 1 Johannes 5:2-3; 2. Johannes 1:6) Hvis Guds lov alltid har ment å velsigne oss og være god for oss, hvorfor skulle han da ta den fra oss etter korset? (5. Mosebok 11:26-27; Salme 112:1; 119:1-2; Salme 128:1; Ordspråkene 8:32; Jesaja 56:2; Matteus 5:6; 5:10; Lukas 11:28; Jakob 1:25; 1. Peter 3:14; Åpenbaringen 22:14; Salme 119) Hvis hele hensikten med mennesket er å holde Herrens bud (Forkynneren 12:13), er dette ikke lenger sant? Matteus 5:17-19 lærer tydelig at ingen bud skal forsvinne i det minste før himmel og jord forgår og hele loven og profetene er oppfylt. I tillegg vil troende som lærer andre at bud er gått bort, være minst i himmelriket, men de som streber etter å holde hele Guds lov og lærer andre å gjøre det samme, vil være store i Riket. Hvordan kan vi derfor være komfortable med å lære noe mindre enn det Moses skrev og det Kristus praktiserte og lærte? Når Kristus befalte oss å observere og gjøre alt fra Moses' sete (Matteus 23:13), som er og alltid har vært det Moses skrev, hvorfor skulle vi da ikke ønske å gjøre det, spesielt siden han befaler oss å undervise alle nasjoner alt han befalte, som selvfølgelig ville inkludere alt som ble lært fra Moses sete. Da Paulus flere ganger uttalte at han tror, praktiserer og lærer Guds lov (som skrevet av Moses - Apg 21:20-26; 24:13-14; 25:8) og også at det ikke er noen forskjell mellom jøden og Gresk i Kristus (1 Kor 12:12-14; Galaterne 3:27-29; Kolosserne 3:10-12), hvordan kan vi være komfortable med å bruke Paulus' brev for å lære at vi ikke skal overholde hele Guds lov? Hvordan kan Paulus lære Guds lov (som skrevet av Moses) og lære mot Guds lov på samme tid? Hva gjør vi med det faktum at å adlyde det Moses skrev også betyr å lære hedninger, romvesener og utlendinger til Israel å praktisere den samme Guds lov i troen? (Exodus 12:19; 12:38; 12:49; 3. Mosebok 19:34; 24:22; 4. Mosebok 9:14; 15:15-16; 15:29). Også Jesaja 42:6; 60:3; Matteus 5:14; Efeserne 2:10-13; Apostlenes gjerninger 13:47; Rom 11:16-27; Jeremia 31:31-34; Esekiel 37; 1 Johannes 2:10; 1 Johannes 1:7) Det betyr at det aldri har vært noen forskjell mellom jøder og hedninger i troen. Ville ikke alle de gangene Paulus ble anklaget for ikke å praktisere og undervise i Moseloven faktisk være sanne anklager i stedet for falske anklager som Paulus hevdet og demonstrerte? Hvorfor er det fortsatt anklager mot Paulus om at han underviste mot Guds lov som skrevet av Moses? Hvorfor må han fortsatt forsvare seg mot slike absurde påstander selv når Apostlenes gjerninger vitner mot det? Når det ser ut til at Paulus snakker om loven, snakker han enten om jødenes muntlige lov, eller han snakker om lovens forbannelse som Messias naglet til korset. Når Skriften sier i NT at vi skal holde Guds bud i vår kjærlighet tilbake til ham (1 Joh 5:2-3) som et svar på hans nåde eller kjærlighet til oss (1 Joh 4:19), hvordan kan vi konkludere at vi bare skal holde noen av Guds bud? Er bud i 3. Mosebok 23 eller 3. Mosebok 11 Guds bud eller ikke? I Jesaja 66:15-17 ser vi at i sammenheng med Herrens gjenkomst, at når han kommer tilbake, er han tydelig opprørt over at folk spiser svinekjøtt. Hvis Han bryr seg da, hvorfor skulle vi anta at Han ikke bryr seg nå? I Sakarja 14, når Herren kommer tilbake for å regjere, ser vi tydelig at alle forventes å feire Tabernakler som skrevet av Moses. Hvorfor skulle vi forventes å feire Tabernakler før korset, men ikke etter korset, men så feire det igjen når Herren kommer tilbake? Hvis Kristus er Ordet som er gjort kjød (Åpenbaringen 19:13), og Han er den samme i går, i dag og for alltid (Hebreerne 13:8), hvordan er da Guds Ord, ikke det samme i går i dag og for alltid som Jesaja 40 :8 sier? Og til slutt, med unntak av misforståelsene i Apg 10 og Apg 15, stammer nesten all antatt støtte for troen på at Guds lov endret seg fra lesingen av utvalgte utdrag fra Paulus' brev. Hvorfor bruker vi hovedsakelig Paulus for å støtte avskaffelse av Guds lov når Peter tydelig sier at Paulus' brev ofte brukes til å gjøre feilen lovløshet fordi Paulus er vanskelig å forstå og mange som leser ham ikke er kunnskapsrike nok om Guds Ord, men i stedet er uvitende og ustabile (2 Peter 3:15-17). Paulus er selve personen som Peter advarer oss mot å bruke til å undervise mot Guds lov. Hvorfor skulle noen bruke ham? Dette er bare noen av de viktigste spørsmålene vi har til alle som tror at Guds lov har endret seg. Det er mange flere som kan presenteres, men forhåpentligvis får det deg til å tenke. 119 departementer

I am a wretched sinner and deserve the Second death, however, if Yehovah would choose to spare my soul I would give it gladly to save yours. The choice is yours to continue to follow the church, the man or scripture, the inspired word of Yehovah, which leads to life. Or follow man which leads to dea For omtrent tolv år siden deltok jeg i en bibelstudiegruppe for menn. En av stamgjestene fortalte meg at jeg ikke var kristen. Jeg ble fornærmet, fornærmet! Jeg ante ikke hva det var han egentlig mente. Ved et uhell ga han meg den største gaven noen noen gang kunne gi en annen person. Jeg tror at Gud fortalte meg at jeg var på vei i feil retning og at jeg måtte endre mine måter. Jeg stolte på meg selv i stedet for ham. Jeg stolte på at menn skulle undervise meg i stedet for hans ord og hans ånd. Jeg trengte å avlære kirkens lære og utfordre alt jeg hadde blitt undervist i kirken som ikke var bibelsk sannhet. Den natten hadde jeg en drøm om bortrykkelsen og folk rundt meg skulle opp for å møte Frelseren og jeg ble etterlatt, det var en livsendrende opplevelse. Jeg begynte å angre hver eneste synd jeg kunne tenke meg. Jeg husker at jeg gikk på kne og sa til Gud at jeg ville gi livet mitt til ham, og jeg ville være lydig mot hvert ord hans, uten spørsmål. Vel, det begynte å forandre alt. Jeg begynte å forstå Bibelen som jeg aldri har gjort før. Jeg innså at det meste jeg ble lært ikke stemte overens med Skriften. Jeg begynte å dele min begeistring om Guds sannhet, men ingen ønsket å høre den. Jeg vil dele med deg skriftvers som forandret alt utover enhver rimelig tvil, du kan bestemme selv. Husk at dette er Guds egne ord, å avvise dem er å avvise Gud selv, noe som har evige konsekvenser. Siden 2008 har jeg vært på en søken, etter beste evne og kun søkt og adlydt Guds sannhet. Jeg tror ved å presentere skriftsteder alene og koble relevante skriftsteder på ett sted, hvis du er villige, kan du oppdage selv at du trenger å lytte til det Yeshua sa: "Deres tilbedelse er en farse, for de lærer menneskeskapte ideer som befalinger fra Gud." Matteus 15:9. Boken og videoen er en gave til deg. Alle temaene i bøkene er temaer som har evige konsekvenser og støttes av Skriften. Læren om kirkelige doktriner og menneskeskapte tradisjoner som blir undervist i den moderne kirken er i strid med Guds ord. Matteus 12:36 «Og jeg sier dere dette: Dere skal avlegge regnskap på dommens dag for hvert tomme ord dere taler. 'Alle må dø en gang, og deretter bli dømt av Yeshua. Hebreerne 9:27 Videoen handler om de hebraiske røttene til vår tro, denne filmen skildrer individer Gud kalte ut av den moderne kirken for å være lydige og søke etter hans sannhet. Vår frelser er en hebraisk jøde, hans hebraiske navn er Yeshua som betyr frelse, Hans fars navn er Yehovah som betyr Han frelser. (Hans navn er det eneste navnet man kan kalle for å bli frelst) Skriften ble skrevet på hebraisk med en hebraisk tankegang som skildrer jordbruk som analogier. Jehova kalte de første fem bøkene, Sine instruksjoner, for sine barn å følge, Han kaller boken Torah. Husk at det er synd å vite hva du bør gjøre og så ikke gjøre det. Jakob 4:17 Jeg er en elendig synder og fortjener den andre døden, men hvis Jehova ville velge å skåne min sjel, ville jeg gi den med glede for å redde din. Valget er ditt om å fortsette å følge kirken, mannen eller skriften, det inspirerte ordet til Jehova, som fører til liv. Eller følg mennesket som fører til døden.

John 14:15 If anyone says, “I know Him, but does not keep His commandments, he is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 1 John 2:4 Teaching against obedience to God’s commandments is a betrayal of His Word because it directly undermines His authority in four ways: It Erases the Definition of Sin: Scripture explicitly defines sin as "the transgression of the law" (1 John 3:4). If you throw out the Law, you destroy the only boundary that defines right from wrong. It Defies Yeshua’s Direct Warning: The Messiah specifically warned that anyone who breaks the commandments and teaches others to do so will be called the least in the Kingdom (Matthew 5:19). It Replaces Divine Truth with Human Tradition: Bypassing God's Feasts, dietary laws, and Sabbath always leads to a common substitution—making the Word of God "of none effect" through human traditions (Mark 7:13). It Separates Faith from True Loyalty: Scripture states, "This is the love of God, that we keep his commandments" (1 John 5:3). Teaching against obedience strips believers of the concrete actions required to show true covenant loyalty. The Bottom Line: Telling people they are free to ignore the Father's instructions mimics the very first deception in the Garden: "Yea, hath God said...?" It doesn't just misinterpret Scripture; it actively trains people to live in comfortable transgression. Christianity, the most lawless religion on earth People cant separate their emotions from the truth What makes 90% of Christians Christians they say they are Israel Sin is the transgression of all God's Laws But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. you will not practice sinning. The creator's name is Yehovah His name means He saves He calls many but chooses few He has a son His name is Yeshua His name means salvation All salvation has to go through him Anyone who doesn't obey the Son will never experience eternal life but remain under God's angry judgment 1 John 2:6 Whoever claims to live in him must live as Jesus did. Last but not least is The Holy Spirit God gives only to those who obey them. Having the Holy Spirit in us is our prof we are saved.

When you received Christ, the Holy Spirit came and began living inside you. Walking in the flesh instead of the Spirit can be a tell-tale sign of something fishy (Galatians 5:16-18) . We are witnesses of these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him.”Acts 5:32 2. Do they have a new nature? When you are born again, you become a new creation with new desires, a new mind, and a new heart. If there isn’t evidence of any of these then, “Houston, we’ve got a problem!” 3. Do they have Christ’s agape love for others? By this, all will know that you are my disciples if you have a love for one another. John 13:35 The Bottom Line: No love, no Christ, yes love, yes Christ… 4. Do they obey God’s Commandments? Now by this, we know that we know Him if we keep His commandments. -1 John 2:3 Christians Can and will stop practicing sinning because they have the Holy Spirit inside them. 5. Is their fruit in their life? The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22- 23 ). True Christians will have these spiritual fruits in their lives. 6. Are they becoming more like Jesus? The true markings of a Christian is that he or she is becoming like their Master. If someone isn’t becoming more like Jesus, then chances are they are not a follower of Jesus. 7. Have they put their trust in Jesus for their salvation? Ask someone one of these questions to see who or what they are trusting in for their salvation. If it ain’t Yeshua, then they ain’t saved. Beware, there are many fake Christians 1. Matthew 15:8 These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. 2. Isaiah 29:13 And so the Lord says, “These people say they are mine. They honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me.

James 1:26 If a person thinks that he is religious but can’t control his tongue, he is fooling himself. That person’s religion is worthless. 4 1 John 2:9 Those who say that they are in the light but hate other believers are still in the dark. 5. Titus 1:16 They claim to know God, but they deny him by what they do. They are detestable, disobedient, and unfit to do anything good. Bible verses about fake Christians Sadly many false believers will be expecting to go to Heaven and will be denied entrance. The best way to avoid being one is to make sure you have truly put your trust in Christ alone for salvation. When you have repented and put your faith in Christ that will lead to a change of life. Follow God and educate yourself with his Word. Many people follow false teachings from the Bible given by false preachers or they just refuse to obey instructions from God and follow their own minds. There are many people who throw on the Christian name tag and think by just going to church they will be granted Heaven , which is false. You know there are people like that in your church and especially in the youth today. You know there are people still having sex outside of marriage, still going to clubs , and they still have a continuous willful potty mouth. Hell will be worse for these people than atheists . They are just Sunday Christians and they don’t care about Christ. Am I saying that a Christian is perfect? No. Can a Christian backslide? no, but there will be growth and maturity in a true believer's life because it is God working in them. They won’t just remain in darkness if they are the Lord’s sheep because God will discipline them and also His sheep hear His voice. Fake Christians quote Laurence J Peter – “Going to church doesn’t make you a Christian any more than going to the garage makes you a car.” “Don’t let your lips and your lives preach two different messages.” “Your most powerful testimony is how you treat others after the church service is over.” “What a heartbreak it would be to live an “almost” Christian life, then “almost” get into heaven.” Beware, there are many fake Christians 1. Matthew 15:8 These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. 2. Isaiah 29:13 And so the Lord says, “These people say they are mine.

Titus 1:16 They claim to know God, but they deny him by what they do. They are detestable, disobedient, and unfit to do anything good. Fake Christians don’t care about God’s Word Fake Christians sin on purpose saying, “I’ll just repent later” and disobeying God’s teachings. Even though we are all sinners and we still struggle with sin, Christians don’t live a lifestyle of willfully and deliberately Practic sining. 6. 1 John 2:4 Whoever says, “I know him,” but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in that person. 7. 1 John 3:6 Those who live in Christ don’t go on sinning. Those who go on sinning haven’t seen or known Christ. 8. 1 John 3:8-10 The person who practices sin belongs to the evil one because the Devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason that the Son of God was revealed was to destroy what the Devil had been doing. No one who has been born from God practices sin, because God’s seed abides in him. Indeed, he cannot go on sinning, because he has been born from God. This is how God’s children and the Devil’s children are distinguished. No person who fails to practice righteousness and to love his brother is from God. 9. 3 John 1:11 Dear friend, do not imitate what is evil but what is good. Anyone who does what is good is from God. Anyone who does what is evil has not seen God. 10. Luke 6:46 Why do you call me Lord but don’t do what I tell you? Fake Christians are hypocrites Even though the Bible says we are to lovingly, kindly, and gently go to our brothers and sisters alone to correct them of their sins, how can you do that, but you’re doing the same thing as them just as much or even more than them? People who do things for show such as give to the poor and other acts of kindness to be seen by others are also hypocrites. 15. Matthew 7:3-5 Why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye. 16. Matthew 6:1-2 Beware of practicing your righteousness before other people in order to be seen by them, for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven. Thus, when you give to the needy, sound no trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be praised by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. 17. Matthew 12:34 You brood of vipers, how can you who are evil say anything good? For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of. In John 14:15, Jesus put this truth plainly to His disciples like this: “If you love me, you will keep my commandments.” That may seem like a simple, even simplistic, statement, but if we look at it closely, we realize that it teaches us much about what it means to be a true disciple of Jesus. The Holy Spirit is the distinguished mark of a real Christian. whom God has given to those who obey Him.” acts 5:32 "God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth." True Christians love Yeshua and have new desires and affection for Him . 12. John 14:23-24 Jesus replied, “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them. Whoever does not love me does not keep my word. And the word that you hear is not mine but the Father’s who sent me.” 13. 1 John 2:3 We know that we have come to know him if we keep his commands. 14. 2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. 1 John 3 See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him. 2 Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears,[a ] we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. 3 All who have this hope in him purify themselves, just as he is pure. 4 Everyone who sins breaks the law; in fact, sin is lawlessness. 5 But you know that he appeared so that he might take away our sins. And in him is no sin. 6 No one who lives in him keeps on sinning. No one who continues to sin has either seen him or known him. 7 Dear children, do not let anyone lead you astray. The one who does what is right is righteous, just as he is righteous. 8 The one who does what is sinful is of the devil because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil’s work. 9 No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God’s seed remains in them; they cannot go on sinning, because they have been born of God. 10 This is how we know who the children of God are and who the children of the devil are: Anyone who does not do what is right is not God’s child, nor is anyone who does not love their brother and sister.

- Are you a Christian | Answers 4 Saints
Are you a REAL Christian? The Christianity of the new testament doesn't exist There was only one person in the entire Bible (Torah) that did everything correctly you proclaim to follow Him however you live and do the opposite. He said if you love me keep my commandments, but you don't Christ said: If you want to enter life, keep the commandments.” …Matthew 19:16 God cannot stand the prayers of anyone who disobeys his Law. Proverbs 28:9 If God's laws mean nothing to you You mean nothing to God But I will reply, ‘I never knew you. Get away from me, you who break God’s laws.’Matthew 7:23 All Israel will be saved If you do the things God hates and refuse to keep His commandments, you will receive the mark of the beast (Your Father the Devil) not the mark of God. “Shout with the voice of a trumpet blast. Shout aloud! Don’t be timid. Tell my people Israel of their sins! Isaiah 58:1 Yeshua is Our Advocate …3By this we can be sure that we have come to know Him: if we keep His commandments. 4If anyone says, “I know Him,” but does not keep His commandments, he is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 5But if anyone keeps His word, the love of God has been truly perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him:… Christianity the New Religion The Final Takeaway Yeshua didn't leave behind a selective checklist where people get to pick and choose which laws to follow. He left a narrow path. This test leaves absolutely no room for casual religion or intellectual debates. Yeshua didn't leave behind a philosophy to be discussed; He left a narrow path to be walked. If the answers point to a life of compromise, it isn't a cue to just feel guilty or give up—it is a direct, urgent call to repent. It means turning away from the ways of the world, picking up the truth of the Torah that Yeshua lived out, and making the firm decision to let your hands, your mind, and your daily life reflect the Master you claim to follow. If people claim to belong to Him but they refuse to live as He lived, keep what He kept, and honor the Torah the way He did, they are practicing lawlessness. True faith is not found in the empty rituals of those who rewrite His words—it is found in literal, active obedience to the Master. According to the New Testament, merely claiming to a Christian and follow the Messiah is not the same as actually following Him. Yeshua said : "And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?" (Luke 6:46) And: "If ye love me, keep my commandments." (John 14:15) The apostle John wrote: "And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him." (1 John 2:3–4) From this perspective, a person who continually refuses to follow the Messiah's teachings while professing faith creates a contradiction between their profession and their actions. However, many Christians would distinguish between: A believer who struggles with sin but desires to obey God and repents when they fail. A person who knowingly rejects God's commands and has no intention of obeying them. The New Testament repeatedly calls believers to repentance, faith, and obedience, while also recognizing that believers are not sinless and may stumble (1 John 1:8–9). So, if someone completely refuses to follow the Messiah and His commandments, many would argue that Scripture calls into question whether that person's profession of faith is genuine. Passages such as Matthew 7:21–23, Luke 6:46, and 1 John 2:3–4 are often cited in that discussion. The core biblical test is not what a person calls themselves, but whether their life shows faith expressed through obedience to God. How to Find Out Which Religion Is Right (It’s Easier Than You Think) Our Lord again reminds us that the manifestation of our love for Him will be in our obedience to His commands. Keeping Christ's commandments is and always has been the best test of our love for Yeshua Children of God Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.” And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws. Ezekiel 36:27 This is how we know that we live in him and he in us: He has given us of his Spirit. 1 John 4:1 And For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God. Romans 8:1 1 See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him. 2 Beloved, we are God’s children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared; but we know that when he appears we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he is. 3 And everyone who thus hopes in him purifies himself as he is pure. 4 Everyone who makes a practice of sinning also practices lawlessness; sin is lawlessness. 5 You know that he appeared in order to take away sins, and in him, there is no sin. 6 No one who abides in him keeps on sinning; no one who keeps on sinning has either seen him or known him. 7 Little children, let no one deceive you. Whoever practices righteousness is righteous, as he is righteous. 8 Whoever makes a practice of sinning is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil. 9 No one born of God makes a practice of sinning, for God’s seed abides in him; and he cannot keep on sinning, because he has been born of God. 10 By this it is evident who are the children of God, and who are the children of the devil: whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is the one who does not love his brother. brother. My old self has been crucified with Christ. It is no longer me who lives, but Christ lives in me. So I live in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. Galatians 2:20 God's seal is not a physical mark The forehead represents the mind of those who make a conscious decision to obey God's requirements to receive His seal will protect us from the last seven plagues. The Mark of God is a sign of obedience between God and His faithful Thus the Sabbath is the sign of a relationship between God and His people, serving as "a test of their loyalty to Him" Yeshua is the LORD of the Sabbath, not Sunday and they get the Mark of God will escape the plages. We are sealed by the Holy Spirit. Is a characteristic of people who have surrendered their lives to God God's seal is in His laws. Bind up the testimonies and seal the law among my disciples. God's sign is His seal, the words sing and seal are interchangeable in the bible. The Sabbath is God's sign, The Sabbath is the seventh day of the week. The fourth commandment is to remember the Sabbath. There is not one scripture in the entire Bible changing the Sabbath to Sunday. Its a sign of God's authority He chose the day. There are three elements to a legal seal, The seal giver His title His territory The Great Commission The Great Commission is Jesus's final instruction to his disciples before his ascension, found in Matthew 28:19-20. The passage says, "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." This is not just a suggestion, but a command for all who follow Him. Why It Is Considered a Sin A Command, Not a Suggestion: The Bible frames this as a clear directive. A sin is defined as "missing the mark" or an act of disobedience against God's will. Willfully ignoring a direct command from Jesus is therefore considered a sinful act. The Nature of a Disciple: In Christian belief, a true disciple isn't just a follower, but a learner and a reproducer. The biblical understanding is that a disciple of Jesus should naturally want to share their faith and help others become disciples, just as they were discipled. A Christian who has no desire to make disciples may be demonstrating a lack of genuine conversion or a spiritual selfishness that is contrary to the self-sacrificial nature of Christ. Sins of Omission: The Bible teaches that sin isn't only about doing something wrong (sins of commission) but also about failing to do something you know you should do (sins of omission). Not making disciples falls squarely into this category. It's an act of neglecting a divinely ordained responsibility. While a Christian's salvation isn't based on their ability to make disciples, their obedience to this command is seen as evidence of their faith and love for God and others. For many, a failure to engage in this work points to a deeper spiritual issue, such as fear, a lack of trust in God's power, or a love for oneself more than for others. There is now one single law that rules both Jew and Greek alike: The law of faith (Romans 3:27) The law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:2) The law of Christ = love God and love your neighbor, fulfilled by the Spirit (Galatians 5:14; 6:2; Romans 13:8–10) One God. One Messiah. One gospel. One law for Jews and Greeks: faith in the crucified and risen Jesus. That is why Paul can say in the very next breath after “neither Jew nor Greek”: “You are all one in Christ Jesus. And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s offspring, heirs according to the promise” (Galatians 3:28–29). Same promise. Same inheritance. Same law. No exceptions. No special tracks.

you must be grafted into Israel to be saved. If you have been baptized in Yeshua’s name, have repented, received the Holy Spirit and are living like your Savior lived, you are automatically grafted into Israel; you are a spiritual Jew. (did you know Jesus is a Jew) He answered, "I was sent only to Grafted into Israel All Israel Shall Be Saved I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers, so that you will not be conceited: A hardening in part has come to Israel, until the full number of the Gentiles has come in. And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: “The Deliverer will come from Zion; He will remove godlessness from Jacob. 27 And this is My covenant with them when I take away their sins.”… In the context of Romans 11, where Paul uses the analogy of the olive tree, the cultivated olive tree primarily represents God's covenant people, Israel. Here's a breakdown of the symbolism: The Root: The root of the cultivated olive tree symbolizes the foundational promises and covenants God made with the patriarchs, particularly Abraham (Romans 11:18). It represents the rich spiritual heritage and the source of blessing from God. The Natural Branches: These represent the Jewish people, who are the natural descendants of Abraham and were the original recipients of God's covenant promises. The Wild Olive Branches (Gentiles): These represent the Gentiles (non-Jewish people) who, through faith in Christ, are grafted into this existing covenant relationship. The Nourishing Root: By being grafted in, the Gentiles share in the "nourishing root" of the cultivated olive tree, meaning they partake in the spiritual blessings, salvation, and relationship with God that flow from His covenant promises. Therefore, the olive tree in Romans 11 is not just any tree; it's a specific symbol of God's chosen people and the established covenant through which blessings flow. The grafting of the Gentiles into this tree illustrates how they become part of God's people and recipients of His grace through faith in Jesus Christ, despite not being natural descendants of Abraham. 1. The Equality of Faith (Romans 10:12) This is perhaps the most direct "no difference" statement in the Bible. "For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile —the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him." 2. The Unity in Christ (Galatians 3:28) This verse is often cited as the definitive statement on Christian equality across all social and ethnic boundaries. "There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female , for you are all one in Christ Jesus." 3. The New Humanity (Colossians 3:11) Paul explains that in the "new self," traditional worldly divisions lose their significance. "Here there is no Gentile or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and is in all." 4. Equality in Sin and Grace (Romans 3:22–23) Paul uses the "no difference" argument to show that everyone starts on the same level playing field regarding the need for salvation. "This righteousness is given through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference between Jew and Gentile, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." Tolv stammer av Israel Disse neste versene er noen som du kanskje ikke har hørt, du må podes inn i Israel for å bli frelst. Hvis du har blitt døpt i Yeshuas navn, har omvendt deg, mottatt Den Hellige Ånd og lever slik din Frelser levde, blir du automatisk podet inn i Israel; du er en åndelig jøde. (visste du at Jesus er en jøde) Han svarte: "Jeg ble bare sendt til Israels tapte sauer." Matteus 15:24 Det er 100 vers om å bli podet inn i Israel. Navnet "Israel" betyr "Den som strever med Gud." Ikke streve med Gud i betydningen å motsette seg Gud, men heller i betydningen å tjene og hjelpe Gud. Det var gjennom Israels tolv sønner at løftet gitt til ham, hans far Isak og bestefar Abraham, begynte å slå rot.Israels tolv sønner er: Ruben, Simeon, Levi, Juda, Sebulon, Issaskar, Dan, Gad, Aser, Naftali, Josef og Benjamin . Deuteronomy 4:8 Og hvilket folk er det så stort som har lover og lover så rettferdige som hele denne lov, som jeg legger frem for eder i dag?

Galatians 3:27 Gud sier 27 For alle dere som ble døpt til Kristus, har ikledd dere Kristus. 28 29 And if you belong to Christ, then du er Abrahams ætt og arvinger i henhold til løftet. … Ephesians 2:18-19 For ved ham har vi begge adgang til Faderen ved én Ånd. 19 Følgelig er dere ikke lenger utlendinger og romvesener, men medborgere med Guds folk og medlemmer av Guds husstand; 1Pet 2:10 En gang var dere ikke et folk, men nå er dere Guds folk; en gang hadde du ikke mottatt barmhjertighet, men nå har du mottatt barmhjertighet. 1 Peter 2:9 9 Men I er en utvalgt slekt, et kongelig presteskap, et hellig folk, hans eget spesielle folk, forat I skal forkynne hans lovprisninger som kalte eder ut av mørket til sitt underfulle lys; Efeserne 2:11 Kom derfor i hu at dere tidligere er hedninger (kristne) i kjødet og kalt uomskårne ved den såkalte omskjærelsen (som ble gjort i legemet med menneskehender)—12 kom i hu at dere på den tid var adskilt fra Kristus, fremmedgjort fra Israels samvelde, og fremmede for løftets pakter, uten håp og uten Gud i verden. 13 Men nå i Kristus Yeshua er du som en gang var langt borte, blitt ført nær ved Kristi blod... Du er en borger av Israel, pålagt å holde alle Jehovas instruksjoner og lover. Du er en åndelig jøde. Rom 11:23 Og hvis de ikke holder fast i vantro, skal de bli podet inn, for Gud er i stand til å pode dem inn igjen. Romerne 2:28 Et menneske er ikke jøde fordi det er det i det ytre, og omskjærelsen er heller ikke bare ytre og fysisk. 29 Nei, en mann er en jøde fordi han er det i det indre, og omskjærelsen er en hjertesak, ved Ånden, ikke ved den skrevne lov. En slik manns ros kommer ikke fra mennesker, men fra Gud. Romerne 11:25 Jeg vil ikke at dere skal være uvitende om denne hemmelighet, brødre, for at dere ikke skal bli innbilske: En forherdelse er delvis kommet over Israel, inntil hele hedningenes tall er kommet inn. 26 Og slik er alle Israel vil bli frelst, som det står skrevet: «Befrieren skal komme fra Sion; Han vil fjerne gudløsheten fra Jakob. 27 Og dette er min pakt med dem når jeg tar bort deres synder.» … Revelations 21:12 12 Byen hadde en stor og høy mur med tolv porter påskrevet med navnene på Israels tolv stammer, og tolv engler ved portene. Revelations 21:21 21 De tolv portene var laget av perler, hver av en enkelt perle, og byens gate var av rent gull, som om det var gjennomsiktig glass. Som du nettopp leste, er det bare 12 porter til den store byen. Portnavnene er alle hebraiske, Israels 12 sønner. Du må podes inn i Israel for å komme inn. Lukas 4:43 Men han svarte: Jeg må forkynne det gode budskap om Guds rike også i andre byer, for det er derfor jeg ble sendt. Peter 2:9 Men slik er dere ikke, for dere er et utvalgt folk. Dere er kongelige prester, en hellig nasjon, Guds egen eiendom. Som et resultat kan du vise andre Guds godhet, for han kalte deg ut av mørket til sitt vidunderlige lys. ● 5. Mosebok 14:2 Du er blitt avsatt som hellig for Jehova din Elohim, og han har utvalgt deg blant alle jordens nasjoner til å være hans egen spesielle skatt. ● Åpenbaringen 18:4 Da hørte jeg en annen røst fra himmelen si: Gå ut av henne, mitt folk, så dere ikke får del i hennes synder, så dere ikke skal ta imot noe av henne plager. Vi må tilpasse vårt sinn til Kristi sinn Romerne 12:2 Følg ikke denne verdens mønster, men bli forvandlet ved å fornye ditt sinn. Da vil du kunne teste og godkjenne hva Guds vilje er— hans gode, behagelige og fullkomne vilje. Colossians 3:1-3 Siden dere er oppreist fra de døde med Kristus, sikt da mot det som er i himmelen, der Kristus sitter ved Guds høyre hånd. Tenk bare på tingene i himmelen, ikke tingene på jorden. Ditt gamle syndige jeg har dødd, og ditt nye liv er bevart med Kristus i Gud . (Jehova ser på to personer grupperer Hans utvalgte folk Han kaller Israel og alle andre kaller Han hedninger nasjonene) Ikke lev for det folk lever for. 1 John 2:15-16 Elsk ikke verden eller det som er i verden! Hvis noen elsker verden, er ikke Faderens kjærlighet i ham, for alt som er i verden (kjødets begjær og øynenes begjær og hovmodet som frembringes av materielle eiendeler) er ikke fra Faderen, men er fra verden. Vi ble gjort nye ved Kristus. 2 Corinthians 5:17 17 Derfor, hvis nogen er i Kristus, da er han en ny skapning; det gamle er forbi; se, alt er blitt nytt. Galaterne 2:20 Mitt gamle jeg er blitt korsfestet med Kristus. Det er ikke lenger jeg som lever, men Kristus lever i meg. Så jeg lever i denne jordiske kroppen ved å stole på Guds Sønn, som elsket meg og ga seg selv for meg. Etterlign Kristus Efeserne 5:1 Vær derfor Guds etterlignere, som elskede barn! Verden vil hate deg. ● Johannes 15:18-19 Hvis verden hater dere, husk at den hatet meg først. Verden ville elske deg som en av sine egne hvis du tilhørte den, men du er ikke lenger en del av verden. Jeg valgte deg til å komme ut av verden, så den hater deg. 1 Peter 4:4 Selvfølgelig blir dine tidligere venner overrasket når du ikke lenger kaster deg ut i flommen av ville og ødeleggende ting de gjør. Så de baktaler deg. Matteus 5:14-16 Du er verdens lys, som en by på en bakketopp som ikke kan skjules. Ingen tenner en lampe og legger den under en kurv. I stedet settes en lampe på et stativ, hvor den gir lys til alle i huset. På samme måte, la dine gode gjerninger skinne frem for alle å se, så alle skal prise din himmelske Far. Jehova Hele Israel skal bli frelst Jeg vil ikke at dere skal være uvitende om dette mysteriet, brødre, for at dere ikke skal bli innbilske: En delvis forherdelse har kommet til Israel, inntil hele hedningenes tall er kommet inn._cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b- 136bad5cf58d_ Og slik skal hele Israel bli frelst, som det er skrevet: «Befrieren skal komme fra Sion; Han vil fjerne gudløsheten fra Jakob. 27Og dette er min pakt med dem når jeg tar bort deres synder. … Tolv stammer av Israel Disse neste versene er noen som du kanskje ikke har hørt, du må podes inn i Israel for å bli frelst. Hvis du har blitt døpt i Yeshuas navn, har omvendt deg, mottatt Den Hellige Ånd og lever slik din Frelser levde, blir du automatisk podet inn i Israel; du er en åndelig jøde. (visste du at Jesus er en jøde) Han svarte: "Jeg ble bare sendt til Israels tapte sauer." Matteus 15:24 Det er 100 vers om å bli podet inn i Israel. Navnet "Israel" betyr "Den som strever med Gud." Ikke streve med Gud i betydningen å motsette seg Gud, men heller i betydningen å tjene og hjelpe Gud. Det var gjennom Israels tolv sønner at løftet gitt til ham, hans far Isak og bestefar Abraham, begynte å slå rot.Israels tolv sønner er: Ruben, Simeon, Levi, Juda, Sebulon, Issaskar, Dan, Gad, Aser, Naftali, Josef og Benjamin . Deuteronomy 4:8 Og hvilket folk er det så stort som har lover og lover så rettferdige som hele denne lov, som jeg legger frem for eder i dag?
