David didn't stop sinning . He loved God very much , however he was unable to b sinless and had to rely on God's mercy , even though he was under the law , which he broke more than a few times , the law didn't save him . God forgave him because He knew that David loved Him , genuinely loved God . God says : I will have mercy , not sacrifice .

thank you

Sadly , we never stop sinning . Even after we know the Gospel . We r unable to save ourselves , we r unable to b sinless , Christ is our righteousness because we don't have any of our own .

Jesus Christ obeyed all the 10 Commandments His entire life. John 15:10 If He had not, He would not have been 100% SINLESS (without blemish) and His sacrifice would not have been so powerful to accomplish all that it did.

We are to walk just as Jesus walked. 1 John 2:6

When we take His Spirit into us, that is the same event as us receiving a new heart - spoken of in Ezekiel 36:26-27. Look closely at those verses. "I will ... CAUSE you to walk in My statutes, and ye SHALL keep My judgments, and do them."

Christ observed the 7th Day Sabbath every week of His life and it is the 4th Commandment. We are to do the same.

Resting in the security of His providence is a good thing to do, but it is not a substitute for the Sabbath Day of rest instituted at Creation Week - because none of the Commandments have ever been repealed. Gen. 2:2-3 God blessed and sanctified only one day ever, and what God blesses cannot be reversed. Num. 23:20

It is the only day He ever claimed to be HIS Day. Isaiah 58:13 It is the GENUINE Lord's Day that John refers to in Rev. 1:10. There is no other reference anywhere in scripture to that term and the Isaiah verse identifies which day that is.

It is all over the bible. The 1000 year period you speak of in ignorance is not a doctrine and it is referred to as "The Lord's day. That should help you if you are serious about gaining wisdom.

Pray becous I'm struggling whit porn addiction it's hard for me to write this here but i need more then just my prayers to keep me on the road so i don't go astray.

Thanks

The sin in the garden. Someone with wisdom please.

Righteousness does not come by the Law.

And nobody has claimed that it does.

Righteousness comes by Jesus Christ, specifically by His Spirit which empowers/enables His followers to obey the Commandments.

It is also NOT 'works salvation' to obey the 10 Commandments when it is the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ who is doing the work. We are not capable of obeying by ourselves, but His Spirit has already lived a physical lifetime of obeying all the Commandments of God Almighty. John 15:10 And it is 'primed' to do that for us, combined with our trust in Him and our submission to His will.

Click on the link that says Prayer

I would save this site on your Google desktop. Sometimes I need help too. Some things we ask for in prayer, may come with a condition (from God) that must be met.

I pray for nations. Today I got a huge confirmation. I rejoice in that greatly.

For years I prayed for this one thing, but no answer. So I stopped. God knows what I need. So now I thank and praise, Him, for the grace and mercy that I enjoy. I am content to wait upon the Lord. His timing is perfect.

No Bro. Dan its not about US...Its what Jesus did at Calvery...You have not Chosen me but i have Chosen you....If i be lifted up I will draw all men unto me....Its ALL him...We are just the good ground where his seed is sown...And we must bring forth fruit unto God which is a baby Christ the H.G....The Child of PROMISE...This NEW Covenant is a birthing Covenant....Thats y he has to know us...Its his seed that forms a baby Christ in us...Being bornagain of an incorruptible SEED etc even by the words of God that new covenant in his BLOOD...The living WORDS OF God...The contents of that book in the FATHERS right hand that he wrote with his own blood.....Unless ya receive the Kingdom of God as a lil Child you will in no wise enter there in....She brought forth a man child that is gonna rule all nations...Which is the H.G. that Child of PROMISE...My lil Children of whom i travail in birth till Christ is formed in you....Thats y he has to know us..Thats when that good seed is sown in our hearts....Real Faith is the begining of a birth of Christ in us...Thats y Faith is the substance of things hoped for the evidence of things not seen...Its a spritual pregnancy via his seed the living Word...Thats gonna result in HEAVENLY BIRTH...As we have borne the image of the earthly we must also bear the image of the Heavenly....Remember Dan when they argued amongst themselves who was the greatest,...Jesus took a lil Child and set him in their midst ...Which is symbolic that a lil Child that is coming in the end with the Women is our greatest Gift...Which is the gift of the H.G...It all goes back to the great Promise that Christ is gonna be multiplied as the stars of heaven...Thus there is a Child OF Promise in our near future....Thats y elijah has to come and turn the hearts of the FATHERS to the children...Which are spirits th H.G. the gift of God that are gonna be as the Stars of Heaven...OK Lemme go

Richard, you are ignoring the rest of Revelation, my friend.

Rev. 19 already has the Beast and False Prophet being destroyed, along with ALL the remaining sinners.

Rev. 19:20-21

You can't just pretend that's not there. That, along with many other verses in Revelation 100% contradict the Millennium false doctrine of Rev. 20:1-7.

It is what it is, brother.

And the Bible tells us so.

The 'binding' of Satan is not a restriction from 'all' activity upon the earth, only a restriction from 'deceiving the nations' into war with God. ( Rev. 20:8) He hasn't done that yet, and cannot at this time because he is 'bound' from doing that. Though he will be released to do just that at a very specific time. Let's look at that time.

"Let no man deceive you by any means: ...that day (of the antichrist) shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition (son of hell); Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshiped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. ... And now ye know what withholdeth (the Holy Spirit) that he (antichrist) might be revealed in his time. For the mystery of iniquity (hidden truth of lawlessness/sin) doth already work (is not bound but active in the world): only He who now letteth (the Holy Spirit) will let, until He be taken out of the way (until there are no more true believers, filled with the Spirit, alive and free to do God's Work upon the earth). And then shall that wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the Spirit of His mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of His coming. 2 Thess. 2:3-8

Satan will be released to do all his will when he fully embodies the man of sin, the antichrist and deceives the entire world to join together in spiritual battle against the Lord God Almighty.

"And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, ... to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea."

Rev. 20:8

Would God have His people endure this life only to have them wait another 1,000 years, among sinners, and a still-fallen world, to then be tested AGAIN by the devil before finally punishing all the wicked, creating the world anew and welcoming His saints into Heaven?

No, He is not the author of confusion. 1 Cor. 14:33

It's always a pleasure sharing with you also Brother Dan. Thanks for your reply. Give me a couple hours and I will continue, I am about to get behind the wheel.

God bless.

Thank you

There is a lot of good wisdom in Proverbs about good and bad behavior. One says "that a merry heart does good like a medicine."

Some struggle with, "being lifted in the spirit of our minds".

I think we should be sensitive to others frame of mind or mood. Sometimes we are to cry with those who've suffered great loss.

You sound like someone with great strength, to me.

Praying for you and your loved ones today. :-)). God bless you.

Hi Gigi.

I probably missed those comments,

sometimes I read a partially read a post like that and move on to another.

Thanks and God bless.

Many people try to claim that events in scripture coincide with certain Trumpet Events, and therefore MUST be held to a certain order of events listed in Revelation. The book of Revelation makes very clear that it is all vision, symbols and spiritual events. As I've shown, Rev. 20:1-7 is contradicted by many prior events in the book of Revelation and thus cannot be taken as literal or LINEAR. Too many events in Revelation contradict 20:1-7 before it even begins.

God makes very clear to us in His Word using 'signature events' to create undeniable proof of the things that line-up in scripture to create a rock-solid foundation for specific doctrine. The 'Day of the Lord, Wrath of God, return of Jesus' is one of those events - the same event. And I have supplied the passages that reveal this very clearly.

Matthew 24:29-31

and

Isaiah 13:9-11

Signature events:

"...the stars of heaven and the constellations ... shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened ... the moon shall not cause her light to shine."

Isaiah 13:10

"Immediately after the Tribulation ... shall the sun be darkened,... the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:..."

Matt. 24:29

Same day, same event. The Day of the Lord (Jesus')/Wrath of God destruction of the earth and all sinners and the return of Jesus Christ.

The Wrath of God:

"Behold the Day of the Lord (Jesus) cometh, cruel both with WRATH and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate: and He shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it."

Isaiah 13:9

"And I will PUNISH THE WORLD for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogance of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible."

Isaiah 13:11

These events happen on the same exact day, the 'very last day' of the earth. How do we know? Jesus Himself tells us plainly many times in the book of John.

John 6:39, 40, 44, 54; 11:24; 12:48

The Millennium is False Doctrine.

Amen! Well spoken Gigi.

God bless.

Good Morning, S.Spencer,

I agree with you here.

However, I have read on this site words from those that essentially say that if we try to keep the commandments we are putting ourselves under law and not grace, therefore we need to keep all of them perfectly or else we are guilty of all of them. Also, I have read posts that say essentially that obeying the commandments is operating in the flesh and that we are to operate in the Spirit instead. But Paul clearly says that those who operate in the Spirit obey the Spriit of God, which would be obeying the 10 commandments along with other acts that are good. To operate in the flesh is to give into sinful desires and disobey God's will which includes the 10 commandments and other matters of loving God and others.

So, what Bro Dan and I are saying is that it is spiritually dangerous to give half truths about law and grace to those we do not know as some may be new Christians, weak Christians, or carnal believers caught up in sinful situations by their choice.

Just wanted to clarify. Thanks for your thoughts today.

Good Morning, Bro Dan

I agree completely! It is true that, by God's mercy, we have been given grace that brings us salvation through faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. This grace releases us from attempting to gain salvation on our own merits though striving to keep all of the law

Being under grace, we have forgiveness of sin, justification before God according to the perfect keeping of the law by Jesus, which gives us His righteousness instead of our faulty, fallen attempts to be righteous by keeping the law, which we cannot succeed at doing by our free will. Grace brings regeneration of our deadness to God and we truly become a new creation in Christ, with a newly regenerated spirit that desires to do God's will. This reborn spirit within us is now the dwelling place of God's Spirit which is our Helper and Power to live God's way.

This grace does not abolish the law. Both Jesus and Paul have said so. See Matt. 5:17-20, Grace just means that we do cannot expect that keeping the Law will save us, because of the weakness of our fallen flesh, even if we keep all of the law, it does not save us. But because of grace, we now have power to obey the commandments of Jesus - love God and - love others - which include all of the commandments of the law and then some. Jesus said, If you love me you will keep My commandments. So, as you said, as believers we should want to obey the 10 commandments.

My thoughts also my heart, "Why would I want to do what the 10 commandments forbid?" These sins should be hated by me and I should love what is good and right as determined by God.

I agree that those who simply state that we do not need to obey the law because we are under grace without further explanation are simply encouraging weak and new believers to freely since they now say "I am free to do this because I am under grace, not the law." This thinking and these actions are not a correct interpretation of what being under grace means.

See Romans 6:1-15; 3:19-22; 4:5-6; 23-25

Bro Alex,

Christ died so that we can be forgiven of our sins - period! That is, if we sincerely ask for this forgiveness. If we don't ask - we don't get forgiven. If we keep sinning we must keep asking for His forgiveness. It's ongoing. Remember, God knows our heart. If we are not sincere - he will know it. If we keep sinning, at some point, we have to ask ourselves are we really saved?

Galatians 6:7

"Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap."

If we continue to sin we can surely die.

Hebrews 10:26

"For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,"

If we are truly walking with Christ, we will be following all of His Commandments!

Read and believe!

Hi Brother Spencer,

Always nice to hear from you.

You stated: Christ didn't come to keep being crucified every time we break one because we can't keep them perfectly.

I agree, Christ died once for us. Because of this, we now have the ability to receive forgiveness for sins from God thru the sacrifice of his Son Jesus. Herein lies the problem; Many people today mistakenly think that WE have no other responsibility for our salvation! They say Jesus did it all - and now we can live our worldly lives and still receive salvation. But all of the scripture tells us otherwise. Even Paul states that we must strive to work out our salvation. Philippians 2:12 "Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling."

Jesus tells us throughout the bible we must try to keep his commandments, and strive to be sin free. Jesus heals the invalid and then tells him - to sin no more! John 5:14 "Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee."

In summary, we must follow Jesus/God's commands (10 Commandments) and work out our own salvation - if we expect to receive his favorable judgement.

God Bless.

i love jesus

Bro. Dan Gbu but you are sadly mistaken.....If righteousness came by the law Christ DIED IN VAIN and the Cross was just foolishness...We must be bornagain of an incoruptible seed even by the Words of God..which is that New Covenant....Its them that are born of God that cannot sin...which is the H.G. the Child of Promise....he it is that cannot sin...Thus the LAW is fulfilled by our new innerman which is that NEW HEART AND NEW SPIRIT ( THE H.G....We must birth a new innerman which is the H.G. he it is that cannot sin....Which is the manchild our fruit unto God the H.G....Thats y he told Nic. a Jew he had to be bornagain...When Jesus said behold I send the Promise of my Father upon you that was baptism of the H.G....That was the new covenant in his blood, What he did at Calvary....God made a new covenant at Calvary and it was by Jesus blood...Thus there is only 1 valid Baptism which is H.G. BAPTISM....We must birth a new innerman which is the H.G. THE MANCHILD that is gonna rule all nations...no exceptions...This is who Jesus was speaking of when he said we must keep the law, If we wanna keep the law it can only be done by that new new innerman which is the H.G. IN US VIA THAT GOOD SEED THE CONTENTS OF THE book in the fathers right hand...Note the Woman keeps the commandments simply b/c she has given birth to a new innerman which is the H.G. the Manchild that is gonna rule all nations...The woman is the result of the sower and his precious seed that new covenant in his blood....Her Child is he that is born of God and cannot sin....Thus she keeps the commandments....Her Child is God's Granson simply b/c Jesus is his father...It was Jesus that sowed his seed in this woman...when he breathe on them as his breath was his words which are his seeds ...Her Child is the beginning of an Israel of God...Remember that great great Promise

Jesus is gonna be multiplied as the Stars of heaven...Thus an israel of God is in the great Promise of multiplication of his seed.

Hi Brother Dan

You stated.

"As a Christ follower why would you NOT want to ( try )keep holy and follow these commandments?"

I haven't seen anything written on the site that stated we shouldn't (try).

By the Spirit of God ww know the commandment is Holy.

By the same Spirit we know we fall short.

By the same Spirit we know "by the commandments" we need a savior.

Christ didn't come to keep being crucified every time we break one because we can't keep them perfectly.

We have agreed with scripture throughout the bible that we're justified apart from the deeds of the Law.

Romans 3:26-28.

Salvation is an inward act performed by the Holyspirit that is confirmed by an outwardly act.

We do our best to keep the commandments and that also is an inwardly act by the Holyspirit. The flesh is weak.

You can keep them all the days of your life and have a sinful Heart and you still come up short.

You can't Love your neighbor as required without a NEW heart. And the sabbath day rest is found in Christ.

God bless.

So much lately, I'm hearing this false doctrine where there are those telling themselves and others, that they can ignore God's Commandments.

Matthew 19:17

"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."

Jesus tells us here point blank: if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments! Jesus and his apostles tell us over and over to keep the commandments and live accordingly. To believe, as a Christian you can disregard God's Commandments, you are deceiving yourself, and ignoring a multitude of bible scripture telling you otherwise.

Here are God's Commandments

1. I am the Lord your God. You shall not have strange gods before me. You shall not make to thyself any graven thing; nor the likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or in the earth beneath, nor of those things that are in the waters under the earth. You shall not adore them nor serve them.

2. You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain.

3. Remember to keep holy the Sabbath day.

4. Honor your father and your mother.

5. You shall not kill.

6. You shall not commit adultery.

7. You shall not steal.

8. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.

9. You shall not covet your neighbor's wife.

10. You shall not covet your neighbor's goods.

As a Christ follower why would you NOT want to try keep holy and follow these commandments?

To disregard, you are telling Jesus that you don't love Him. John 14:15 "If ye love me, keep my commandments."

Read and Believe!

Hi Kim.

It's not so big a deal to go to church on Sunday as it is to neglect to worship on the Sabbath Saturday, as God Commanded those who love Him in the 4th Commandment.

And the 10 Commandments are not at all difficult to keep, as many Christians have been brainwashed to believe.

The biggest issue they have is with the 4th Commandment - The Sabbath. Which is also very easy to keep once you make up your mind to follow God and His Ways. Jesus kept all the Commandments. John 15:10 We are to walk (live) as Jesus walked (lived.) 1 John 2:6. Even Paul is recorded in scripture as keeping all the 10 Commandments. Acts 21:24 All of Jesus' disciples kept the Sabbath Commandment immediately after His crucifixion - which speaks volumes. Luke 23:54-56

The 10 Commandments

1. Only worship God

2. Don't worship demons (idols)

3. Don't take God's Name in vain

4. Observe the 7th Day Sabbath

5. Honor parents

6. Don't murder

7. No adultery

8. Don't steal

9. Don't lie

10. Don't covet

Where exactly is the difficulty in keeping those? The first 4 teach us exactly how to love God. The last 6 teach us how to love mankind.

The Sabbath, as well as the 10 Commandments, were given to everybody.

Read the dramatic account in Exodus of God speaking the 10 Commandments ALOUD to the world in the presence of the Israelites and you will be convinced of their significance to all who worship God Almighty. His voice was so booming and terrifying that the people begged Moses to ask God not to speak aloud anymore. God SPOKE our world into existence; God SPOKE the Commandments into existence. Exodus chapter 19 through 20.

"My covenant will I NOT BREAK, nor ALTER the thing that has come out of My lips."

Psalm 89:34

Amen Brother Richard.

It's hard to spiritualize all of that.

Christ first coming was literal and his coming to reign here on earth is literal also.

God bless.

This chapter seems to fit the current world events far more than in the past.

I think the key to unlocking the prophecies regarding satan let loose, Gog and Magog, the Northern army, the day of the Lord, is to understand who the House of Israel is in the latter days. Hint: all Jews are Israelites, but not all Israelites are Jews. Many Israelites are regathered under one Shepherd and fulfill the unconditional Abrahamic covenant
