What Do I Mean By Legalist

[meshak]

That was when you were lashing out at some here.

You call that lash-out.

I call it as it is.

Lashing out is false witnessing.

I did not give you a false witnessing.

Your analysis is way off.

 

[Grace Accepted]

His word in the Bible is what directed/directs me, Grace.

Then why do you not follow it?

Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love Me, he will keep My words:
and My Father will love him, and We will come unto him, and make Our abode with him.
John 14:23

Then actually keep his words and not a lot of metaphors? If you law abiding consists of metaphors maybe your eternal reward will also just be a metaphor.

Therefore shall ye lay up these My words in your heart and in your soul,
and bind them for a sign upon your hand, that they may be as frontlets between your eyes.
Deuteronomy 11:18

But you don't you twist up his words in your heart and soul. I can't believe that you can't see that.

Proverbs 7:1 My son, keep My words, and lay up My commandments with thee.

Quote scripture all you want, but quoting scripture is not doing it.

Then why do you not follow it?

Because you do not believe in it the same way I do.

Then actually keep his words and not a lot of metaphors? If you law abiding consists of metaphors maybe your eternal reward will also just be a metaphor.

Maybe.
Or maybe your faith in salvation by Jesus' death and His carnal blood is just a metaphor.
And your belief that God commanded animals sacrifices is not literal.

And how is your current reward?
Do you have His everlasting life yet? Has His kingdom come?

But you don't you twist up his words in your heart and soul. I can't believe that you can't see that.

Ah well. It's called quickening of the spirit. Isn't it.
You've become set in your belief, as also I have become set in mine.

I'm still looking into, and praying about, the fat of His sacrifice, btw.
I'll let you know how it goes.

Quote scripture all you want, but quoting scripture is not doing it.

I know. I noticed.
Christ's words has become of no effect to you.

 

[Grace Accepted]

Because you do not believe in it the same way I do.

That is true. You believe your metaphors. Well, join most of the rest of the as we.

Maybe.
Or maybe your faith in salvation by Jesus' death and His carnal blood is just a metaphor.

And how is your current reward?
Do you have His everlasting life yet? Has His kingdom come?

In reality on in mediphor?

Ah well. It's called quickening of the spirit. Isn't it.
You've become set in your belief, as also I have become set in mine.

Not so.

I'm still looking into, and praying about, the fat of His sacrifice, btw.
I'll let you know how it goes.


I know. I noticed.
Christ's words has become of no effect to you.

Who are you to judge? You live in metaphors.

How do you decide what is literal and what isn’t?

 

[Comingfrom]

That is true. You believe your metaphors. Well, join most of the rest of the as we.

I remembered that Moses said, God has given us rest, and has given us this land.
It was by the river in Binnaway, where I remembered Zion.

In reality on in mediphor?

The Father who sees in secret rewards us openly.

And when the Son of man comes, He rewards us according to our works.

For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing,
whether it be good, or whether it be evil.
Ecclesiastes 12:14

Not so.

What not so.
It isn't called quickened spirit?
Or you are not convicted in your belief yet?

Who are you to judge? You live in metaphors.

We all judge.
To know what sayings and what beliefs we will keep. Isn't it?
And only if we are reproved will we change our ways.

Therefore it is wise to judge righteously,
and to judge as we would like to be judged.
And to love reproof.

The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
Psalm 1:4-5

How do you decide what is literal and what isn’t?

I have been showing you. Or maybe I should say, trying to.

By constantly studying the scripture, and laying up His words in me, and reasoning with the Lord.
And not despising His correction.

Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord:
though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow;
though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
Isaiah 1:18

My son, despise not the chastening of the Lord; neither be weary of His correction:
For whom the Lord loveth He correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.
Proverbs 3:11-12

And, by the way, Grace Accepted, I found the fat of His sacrifice.
I felt in my bones I was right, by the way He says it; "neither shall the fat of My sacrifice remain"
for doing a thing which is obviously distasteful to Him, namely; "offering the blood of His sacrifice with leavened bread",
it obviously sounded like a reward being withheld to me.
Exodus 23:18 & Exodus 34:25

And, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord God;
Speak unto every feathered fowl, and to every beast of the field,
Assemble yourselves, and come; gather yourselves on every side to My sacrifice that I do sacrifice for you,
even a great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel, that ye may eat flesh, and drink blood.
Ye shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink the blood of the princes of the earth,
of rams, of lambs, and of goats, of bullocks, all of them fatlings of Bashan.
And ye shall eat fat till ye be full, and drink blood till ye be drunken, of My sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you.
Thus ye shall be filled at My table with horses and chariots, with mighty men, and with all men of war, saith the Lord God.
Ezekiel 39:17-20

This is also clearly the Son of man speaking, and confirming things that Jesus spoke in John 6 as well.
That the Son of man comes and gives us flesh to eat, and blood to drink.
Not metaphorically speaking.
Though maybe we can assume the "flesh" and the "blood" are metaphors for something spiritual.
Something like food and drink [comfort] for the soul, perhaps.

 

[Grace Accepted]

I remembered that Moses said, God has given us rest, and has given us this land.
It was by the river in Binnaway, where I remembered Zion.

But of course that land is not yours. So you make up a metaphor for it. It is quite a religion you have there.

 

[Grace Accepted]

The Father who sees in secret rewards us openly.

And when the Son of man comes, He rewards us according to our works.

For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing,
whether it be good, or whether it be evil.
Ecclesiastes 12:14

That will be a nasty surprise unless we get some perfect works. How do you plan on getting perfect works. No remember it does not say according to how hard we try. No, it is according to our works. That would be all of the works we have ever done. Are you proud of your life's total works?

 

[Grace Accepted]

We all judge.
To know what sayings and what beliefs we will keep. Isn't it?
And only if we are reproved will we change our ways.

Therefore it is wise to judge righteously,
and to judge as we would like to be judged.
And to love reproof.

The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
Psalm 1:4-5

You live in metaphors so I assume you judge in them also.

For whom the Lord loveth He correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.
Proverbs 3:11-12

Which of these is a metaphor. You see you have set yourself up to be the god of your own religion, deciding what is real and what is a metaphor.

 

[Grace Accepted]

Exodus 23:18 & Exodus 34:25

But that is just what you felt in your bones. Your religion is simply an escape from reality. Ah, well, we can all stand that now and again.

 

[Grace Accepted]

Thus ye shall be filled at My table with horses and chariots, with mighty men, and with all men of war, saith the Lord God.
Ezekiel 39:17-20

Great material to make some nifty metaphors out of. Talking to birds could be speaking with people who fly away easily. Tables with horse at them that could be about too much horsing around.

I guess I do not have to worry too much about you. It would take a person with spiritual vertigo to follow what you teach.
