I didn't say Jesus, I said you. And you have taken it upon yourself to determine if people believe what the Bible says, that eternal life and forgiveness of sins is through the work Jesus did and trusting in His righteousness instead of their own. and especially if they don't keep the sabbaths and festivals, are those Jesus was speaking about below. You are dead wrong. More likely He was talking about you.
I was quoting Jesus Warnings. Not mine. You should learn to distinguish between the two.
And I think you are one of them. I recognize this because of what you preach.
So far, I have been posting the Word's of the Christ. They seem to infuriate you. You are free to take your anger out on me for posting them. Jesus said you would.
They weren't Jesus' words in that passage. It was your editing and your supposition.
How so?
Why don't you believe that?
I do, I just understand, like Paul after his conversion, that the blood of goats, or the "works" of an obsolete Priesthood, don't take away sin.
Perfect is what is required to dwell with God in His kingdom. Not a speck of sin.
God's definition of perfection, not yours or the Popes.
That's why we trust in Christ's righteousness for forgiveness that He purchased for us with His blood, not our own ability to be perfect.
"
She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
Faith in this----that He did it according to His word; that it did what He says it did, according to His word; that it will accomplish what He says it will in His word; that the promise of a new heaven and new earth, all things restored, will be fulfilled as He says in His word. THAT IS THE FAITH NECESSARY FOR ETERNAL LIFE.
Yes; "
And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
I believe Him, and HIS Father who teaches the same thing.
The underlined portion is the heart of what Jesus was speaking of----not "have omitted."
Only those who have "Omitted" much of God's instruction would preach this.
Jesus also obeyed the Levitical portion of the law.
No He didn't. He forgave sin without have once sprinkled blood on the Alter. He healed a Leper without having once followed the Levitical Priesthood "Law of the Leper". You are just wrong here. But not because the Bible doesn't tell you, but because you have adopted the philosophy of this world.
It was still in effect in His lifetime---hence it is said He was without sin. The old order of the priesthood did not change until Jesus died, was raised from the dead and ascended back to the Father. Where does Jesus ever criticize the Pharisees and all the other Jews for the sacrifices?
John 2:
13 And the Jews' passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem, 14 And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting: 15 And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables; 16 And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house an house of merchandise.
And before HE became a man.
1 Sam. 15:
22 And Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams. 23 For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from being king.
If you would only Glorify God, as God, you might see how foolish these things you are promoting are..
Matt. 11:
28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Jesus didn't say "Come to me, after the mainstream preachers of this world murder me".
They were basing their righteousness on themselves and their own works.
Finally, some truth. Yes, they were ignorant of God's Righteousness because they didn't believe God, and taught for doctrines the Commandments of men.
God created His Good Works before hand, that men are to walk in. Not the Pharisees, or the Pope, or Calvin or any other of this world's religious philosophers.
I find it amazing that you would say such a thing and even go so far as to emphasize EVERY WORD. A bit dramatic wouldn't you say? But whatever makes you feel self-righteous and superior.
You would think you could find just one sentence from Jesus to support your religious philosophy that the Pharisees were trying to earn Salvation by obeying God. Just ONE sentence, or even ONE Prophesy from the entire Law and Prophets which foretold or Prophesied, or even implied that the Pharisees were trying to earn God's Favor by obeying Him. Just ONE.
But you and GA can't. Does that dissuade you from promoting the religious philosophy of this world, that the Pharisees were trying to earn Salvation by obeying God? No, instead you slam me for pointing out the Falsehood of this doctrine, and you double down on your preaching of it.
That's not my fault.
If you really loved the "brethren" you wouldn't make such knowingly false accusations about them and you wouldn't lie by self-righteously calling someone brethren whom you obviously consider to be one of the Lord, Lord people.
I am simply pointing out a lie, and falsehood that you are zealously promoting. You can call yourself anything you want, but if you are promoting falsehoods like, "The Pharisees were trying to earn salvation by obeying God", then someone should love you enough to point it out. This is how Jesus Loved His People. Well, maybe not the long haired men's hair shampoo Model this world's religions call Jesus, but certainly the Jesus of the Bible.
Jesus would call that hypocrisy and neglecting the weightier matters, such as mercy, justice and faith.
If I see someone addicted to drugs, or lies, how would Jesus teach me to show them mercy? By giving them more drugs, or supporting their lies? Or would a true friend warn them of their addiction, or take the time to address the Lies knowing full well they will resent you.?
Sure, most likely this person will hate you for Loving them with God's Love. But Jesus would want us to Risk that Hate, rather than enable their inevitable destruction.
