Because you are separated from God and spiritually blinded you are not able to understand most of the content on our website ( 1 Cor. 2:14; John 8:43-45).
You are correct, mankind is lost. The Word of God teaches us so in Revelation 12:9 and the Word is God. are you going to argue with God over things you are not able to understand? The content of our website just explains how and by whom you have been deceived and what you must do to be reunited with the true and living God and how you are able to come to know the true Christ ( Matthew 24:24; Mark 13:22; Gal. 4:8; 2 Cor. 11:13-15; Rev. 12:9).
Since you know not what manner of spirit you are of ( Luke 9:55), our message remains the same: Ye must repent and invite you to study what it means. If you are able to understand what it means to 'Repent' you will also be able to understand the Word of God and the content of our website. Right now it is all just a storybook, while in truth it is 'spiritually' discerned ( 1 Cor. 2:14).
Seek, and ye shall find ( Matthew 7:7).
In His Service.

Vain has multiple uses.
Exodus 5:9
Let there more work be laid upon the men, that they may labour therein; and let them not regard vain words.
Leviticus 26:16
I also will do this unto you; I will even appoint over you terror, consumption, and the burning ague, that shall consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart: and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.
Leviticus 26:20
And your strength shall be spent in vain: for your land shall not yield her increase, neither shall the trees of the land yield their fruits.
Deuteronomy 5:11
Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain: for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
Deuteronomy 32:47
For it is not a vain thing for you; because it is your life: and through this thing ye shall prolong your days in the land, whither ye go over Jordan to possess it.
And they gave him threescore and ten pieces of silver out of the house of Baalberith, wherewith Abimelech hired vain and light persons, which followed him.
Judges 11:3
Then Jephthah fled from his brethren, and dwelt in the land of Tob: and there were gathered vain men to Jephthah, and went out with him.
1 Samuel 12:21
And turn ye not aside: for then should ye go after vain things, which cannot profit nor deliver; for they are vain.
1 Samuel 25:21
Now David had said, Surely in vain have I kept all that this fellow hath in the
Travel safely.

Learn Gematria and then you will see that everything news is tied together, govt, media, Hollywood, sports all rigged by the #'s. It is said that God created a divine language by merging the number with the letter. It's the same code Jesus Christ was put to death by.
Decoder: Zachary K Hubbard
The Jewish elders learned Gematria during their 70 years in Babylonian captivity. Here's an simple example of the relationship numbers have:
The Pentagon is 77 feet tall, it sits on the 77th meridian, and on 'September Eleventh' (= 77 Reduced) was struck by fight 77, 77 min after takeoff, traveling at 530 mph (= 77 feet per second). So, why did flt 77 (missile) hit the pentagon? Because it was going home, get it?
Anti-christ must get 42 months of unbroken, absolute power, or prophesy won't be fulfilled.
Nothing is done in DC without the code. The US govt operates daily on ancient Babylonian witchcraft, how ironic.
There is information in the Book of Daniel, ch 11-12 you can read. 2 Thessalonians has description. Zechariah 14. The little horn in Daniel 8, is the Antichrist.
Information is all over the Bible. I suggest reading all of the references in the Center of each Page. It's lengthy study, takes much time to do it; but the is a much wider perception and explanation of what you're studying.
Those are not just acts, they are transgressions of the 10 commandments. And sin by definition is transgression of the Law 1 John 3:4 and Romans 4:15. It is a verb with a meaning. Without the commandements, the how do you know that you have sinned, because even Paul in his epistle to the Romans 7:7-13 says that it was because of the law that he knew sin. And there are so many verses from him that forbids us to commit that act of sin.
James in his epistle 2:8-14, tells it very well that we should keep all the 10 commandments and quotes two of them. Having being saved by Christ is by faith, but you show this faith by keeping God's law so that people know that you are saved and through your actions they may get to know God.
With this in mind, there are two kinds of laws in the Bible, the 10 commandments and the Mosaic Law. The Mosaic Law is what Christ nailed on the cross and that we have no obligation to follow. But the 10 commandments are perpetual, even Christ Himself says they will never change until heaven and earth come to pass, Matthew 5:18-19.
In the Hebrew nation, before Christ they used to sin knowingly because they knew in the Mosaic law there was a provision that if you sin, you take a lamb or any other animal as prescribed by that law, take it to the priest, confess to it and when it was sacrificed you were forgiven of your sins. But now with Christ, all that was no more, and this applies to us too. That when we sin knowingly we grieve the Holy Spirit because He convicts us of sin, Ephesians 4:30, Matthew 12:30-32.
That is not what I am saying in a nutshell at all. No believer has a right to commit those acts just because they are saved. A person who has received Christ, their sins are forgiven, past, present, and future. I am not saying that they are free to continue on in sin. I would never tell anyone that they are free to sin because Christ will forgive them.
You bring up 1 John 2:1 so I will share my understanding of that Verse. He says my little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. The term sin is a verb and it is called the Subjunctive Mood. That might not mean anything to you, but it represents committing an act of sin. It is Aorist, single act, Subjunctive, possibility.
If we should commit an act of sin, then God has a provision for us. We can compare this to 1 John 3:9, where he says whoever is born of God does not commit sin, for His seed, that is, God's seed remains in him, and he cannot, or more literally, he is unable to sin because he is born of God.
In John's writings, and especially in the bible, there's a difference between an act of sin and a continuous lifestyle of sin. And that's what he's saying in Chapter 3. Whoever is born of God does not commit, that is, does not continuously live a lifestyle of sin because God's seed is in him. And he's unable to continually sin because he's born of God.
So he's telling us as believers that we do sin, but not habitually as a way of life like we did before we were saved. A person who is genuinely born of the Spirit of God and belongs to Christ continues to sin, but they are acts of sin. A true believer cannot continuously live a lifestyle of habitual sin.
And I don't think that Hebrews 10:26 is talking about saved individuals.
Do you think that the ten commandments are supposed to be kept?
Is there anywhere in the Bible where you find the doctrine you have upheld?
In a nutshell you say that one can commit adultery, steal, kill, take God's name in vain, have other gods etc because Christ's love is there to forgive them. When we are told not to sin then what should you do so that you sin not, 1 John 2:1. But also in Hebrews 10:26, we are forbidden to sin knowingly. Unless you keep them, then you are convicted of sin.
What you are saying makes perfect sense, especially with the rich young ruler. In John 14:15, Jesus said, "If ye love me, keep my commandments." What commandments? I like to look at is as one command. Jesus said, "Follow me." That is a command. And I believe that if we are truly following Him, everything else lines up. Now here's something that I find interesting about John 14:15. In some of the Greek texts, instead of a command, it is written in the future tense. If you love me, (YOU WILL) keep my commandments. It's a statement of fact.
Everything in our relationship with Jesus Christ is based on love. People make decisions based on who and what they love the most. That's just a normal way of life. When I have to make a decision between two things, I make my decision based on which one I like the most, or which one I love the most. Jesus might be leading me to do something at the same time that there is something else I want to do instead. So now I have to decide, which one do I love the most?
But Jesus says if you love me, you will keep my commandments. The reason why we don't obey the persuasion of His Spirit leading us to do something is that we love something or someone else more. The Lord might want me to study the word, but there's a football game I want to watch. I've got to choose!
With the rich young ruler, his riches meant more to Him than leaving everything behind to follow Christ. As for loving God with all our heart, mind, and soul, we could not do that without the Spirit of Christ living in us. It's His Spirit that gives us that type of love and ability.
You are correct about the human. All the flesh can do is produce flesh. Paul said that in my flesh there is nothing good. The flesh cannot produce anything spiritual and is at constant war with the Spirit of Christ that lives in us. I don't believe that the 10 Commandments were given as a set of rules for us to keep, but were given to convict man of his sin and his need of a Savior.

Regarding Constantine- he combined the Church with the State- a grave and everlasting error.
:)
This is why you find that the evolution theory, big bang and the theory of natural selection are worldly accepted even in churches, and people believing that the world is billions of years old.
Read about the Emperor Constantine Decree of March 7, 321 AD
The Sabbath day was to let us rest and to remind us that God created all that is. Christ observed this day, Luke 4:16.
Paul who came after the curtain was torn, kept the Sabbath, Acts 13:14,42-44, 16:13, 17:2, 18:4. No where in the Bible is the Sabbath abolished.
Read James 2:8-11.
well written both comments
