jesus came in this world to save us to clean our sins, so dont bring yourself into the sinful nature, be arightous person in the sight of the lord and then your prayers will be answered and you are not going to drift but will be anchored through the help of the lord do not doubt but depend on the lord GOD BLESS EVERY BODY
If you are saved through your faith in the Lord Jesus Christ reconcile Mat. 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. You cannot read even one verse that through faith your soul be saved. But many verses to save our soul is a work individually to obey the words of our Lord Jesus Christ. Faith and good works through his words equal salvation. Verses to prove that individual/your own work are the foll.: Exeq. 14:14, 14:20, Exeq. 18:27, Acts 2:40, Philip. 2:12 & James 1: 21-22.
V. 21, "touch not, taste not, handle not" is defined as being the commandments of men which show man made religion, rather than an O.T. injunction by God. The previous v. challenges us not to be subject to such ordinances. Established churches in my own religious community have many such binding rules to help guide their members. After (don't associate with the world) comes (no cars allowed). Since modern tractors and wagons might be used to go to worldly places, more rules were needed. (No rubber tires allowed). Now abusive jolting of equipment brought on homemade tractor wheels with rubber in the structure to absorb the shock. More church rules needed. (Not over a certain percentage of the wheel may be of rubber). Do you see how such man imposed rules perish with the useing. Even well-meant religious rules eventually require more regulation, and the victims are distracted from new life in Jesus to worldly religion. This whole chapter 2 is devoted to contrasting; the kingdom of our Lord against the falacy of well-meant religion. James 1:27 gives a very limited description of pure religion that is not defiled before God. Let's keep our eyes on Jesus.
Jh. 8:3-11 The woman was taken to Jesus for judgement. Jesus said go and sin no more. You mean no one can obey this command, Jesus is so merciful saying this word if no one can obey. For ex. of a father righteous in this world, He will not command his 4 years old son/daughter to bring 5 gallons of water in a can, since he knew it is heavy. Our God also cannot command to his people that we cannot do. To enter into the kingdom of heaven is dual. Faith to the Lord Jesus Christ heartily & faith to his words. I would not deny that faith alone can saved. Our Lord Jesus Christ gave us an example to the one on his side also hanging on the cross whom he has given a promised to enter into the kingdom of heaven. After that promised he was dead, so nothing bad works or evil thoughts he can do again because his body is dead. Not like us, to compare the faith to one of the robbers because we are alive, so after receiving the Lord Jesus Christ by faith, our evil thoughts, evil eyes was there and also of being a liar. To erase this we have to work and practice to follow his words and ask him for help and pray that all our bad works will be clean before his judgement. We know we are all temporary here,so why not we prepared on that day to come.There are so many verses to support that salvation of our Soul is individual/own works and not by faith whereby many believers was deceived. Old test. Exeq. 14:14, Exeq. 14:20, Exeq. 18:28. New test. Acts 2:40, Phillip. 2:12, 1 Tim. 4:16, & James 1:21-22. Our God will judge to our works whether good or bad. Our God will not judge to our faith to him. But God judge us is based in his words. Supporting verses: 2 Cor. 5:10, Ecclesias. 12:14 & John 12:48.
The named of my God is Jesus Christ. This named was not brought by mother's Mary. Through his announcements/characteristics of what is God is to be watch of to believe. These are the writing of the prophets/apostles to believe. No. 1. Num. 23:19 God is not a man, neither the son of man. 2. Hoses 11:9 for I am God, and not man. 3. Malachi 3:6 For I am the Lord, I change not. 4. Jh. 1:18 No man hat seen God at any time. 5. Jh. 3:6 Which is born of the flesh is flesh, born of the Spirit is Spirit. 6. Jh. 4:24 God is a Spirit. 7. I Tim. 1:17 God is immortal, invisible. 8. James 1:17 God is no variableness. For these reason my God is purely Spirit without flesh and bones.
The named of my God is Jesus Christ and was not brought/delivered of a lady or a human being. Because of his announcements and his characteristics of what is God is? No. 1. Num. 23:19 - God is not a man, neither the son of man; 2. Hosea 11:9 - for I am God, and not man; 3. Malachi 3:6 - For I am the Lord, I change not; 4. Jh. 1:18 - No man hath seen God at any time. 5. Juan 3:6 - which is born of the flesh is flesh, born of the Spirit is Spirit; 6. Juan 4:24 - God is a Spirit; 7. I Tim. 1:17 - God is immortal, invisible; 8. James 1:17 - God is no variableness. These are the reasons of my God was not delivered by mother's Mary based of the prophets and spostles saying.
I don't think anyone should ask what a person THINKS about the word of God. PEOPLE can and WILL twist God's word. That's why there are "DENOMINATIONS" today. God's word says that it is of NO private interpretation(2Pe1:20), and that if ANY man LACKED wisdom let him ask of God( James 1:5). So unless they have REVELATION from God as to what Revelation 15:6 is about, they shouldn't be writing here.
To enter into the kingdom of heaven is dual. Faith to the Lord Jesus Christ heartily and faith to His words. I would not deny that faith alone can saved. Our Lord Jesus Christ gave us an example to the one on His side also hanging on the cross whom he has given a promised to enter into the kingdom of heaven. After that promised he was dead, so nothing bad works or evil thoughts he can do again because his body is dead. Not like us, to compare the faith to the one of the robbers because we are alive, so after receiving the Lord Jesus Christ by faith, our evil thoughts, evil eyes was there and also of being a liar. To erase this we have to work and practice to follow HIS words and ask Him for help and pray that all our bad works will be clean before His judgement. We know we are all temporary here, so why not we prepared on that day to come. The word salvation in Eph. 2:8&9 is very broad. The meaning of salvation is someone is in bad condition/situation and then in turn became to a good condition/situation. There are many ways to receive salvation. For example in material things: salvation from hunger, salvation from accident & sickness. In Spiritual things, there are also many ways to receive salvation: 1) 1) 1Cor. 9:21-22- salvation to those who have no knowledge, continue to Rom. 10:3, 2) Eph. 2:8&9- salvation through faith. this kind of salvation is that our sins was saved. Ref. verses: Mat. 9:2 & Acts 10:43. This kind of faith is not a guarantee to enter into heaven. 3) James 1:21-22 - salvation of our soul. This is a guarantee to enter into heaven. If your soul is pure, perfect, holy & blameless. 4) Rom. 5:9 - salvation from the wrath of God, because this world will suffer various destruction. There are verses to support salvation of our Soul is individual/own works and not by faith where are many believers was deceived. Ref. verses: Acts 2:40, Philip. 2:12. 1Tim. 4:16 & James 1:21-22. Our God will judge to our works whether good or bad. Our God will not judge to our faith to Him. But God judge us is based in HIS words. Supporting verses: 2Cor. 5:10, Ecclesias. 12:14 & John 12:48."
To go to heaven/eternal life is very very difficult. God's wants us to be 100 % . This is His fair/just justice to all the believers who knows Him. ref. verses Eph. 5:27, Rev. 21:8 & Mat. 5:8. To enter this place one must be holy, be perfect, without spot of wickedness. Upon knowing His doctrines/requisites to enter into heaven you must practice/work and if you stumble down, rise up to continue, no retreat/surrender the faith that you have. For example in doing so, someone practices for holiness and then before he died he earned only 80%, but his goal is 100%. Only God knows if this one can enter into heaven or not. Not like to someone who has no goal/target to enter into heaven, because of unbelief. He think for him that there is no punishment, no heaven nor hell, so this kind of individual has no limit in doing bad works. There are verses that salvation of our Soul is individual/own salvation through His words. Supporting verses: Bh. 2:40, Philip. 2:12, 1Tim. 4:16 & James 1:21-22. The word soul is only a part of the human body ref. verse 1 Thessa. 5:23.
derek,
I was reminded by the Lord's Holy WORD as follows!
DOERS OF THE SCRIPTURE ARE NEEDED BIGTIME!
Come on now. You really need to read this carefully. SCRIPTURE IS PLAIN. SCRIPTURE IS THE ONLY WAY WE KNOW JESUS! MANY only go to church on sun-day because the catholics made them. They changed the calendar and PASSED IT DOWN AS MAN'S TRADITION. They DID NOT ADHERE TO SCRIPTURE, AND THEREBY FORGOT TO REMEMBER TO KEEP THE SABBATH DAY HOLY. THIS is not being said lightly. TRADITIONS CONTRADICT SCRIPTURE. WHEN THEY DO THEY MUST BE PUT DOWN IN FAVOR OF HOLY SCRIPTURE. IF not we don't have any faith in what the scripture says because FAITH COMETH BY HEARING AND HEARING BY THE WORD OF GOD! Those that changed sabbath to sunday have abandoned the faith that cometh by hearing that comes by the word of God. Go ahead study to show thyself approved and don't trust any man. Let EVERY MAN be A LIAR BUT LET GOD BE TRUE! HE IS TRUE IN HIS WORD!
Exodus 31:13 Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily my sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am the LORD that doth sanctify you.
Exodus 31:16 Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant.
Psalm 119:6 Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto all thy commandments.
John 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.
John 15:14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.
1 John 5:3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
Now, some may quote 2 Corinthians 3:6 "Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life."
But what is also TRUE THROUGH AND THROUGH IS THIS SCRIPTURE FROM JESUS HIMSELF THE FULFILLMENT OF THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS: " John 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life."
What "letter" of the law is being spoken of here? Is it the letter of the law that is indicated in the following scripture? 2 Peter 1:20-21 "Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost." Is it the "letter" of the law that is being spoken of in this scripture? 2 Timothy 3:15-17 "And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works."
ALL SCRIPTURE includes old an new testament. Circumcision of the male organ is the judaizing factor which is ABSOLUTELY NOT NECESSARY unless it involves the "CIRCUMCISION OF THE HEART FROM AN EVIL HEART OF UNBELIEF."
Jesus said to keep His commandments! One of them is to remember to keep the sabbath day holy as a sign of Him as we await and prepare for His coming. the catholic church changed the calendar to sunday, the first day of the week and the catholics will boast and brag quite boldly that they did because of their IMMENSE POWER. So much is their boldness that they berate protestants who SAY they believe the bible first and foremost for their not keeping the SCRIPTURAL SABBATH. Catholics despise what they call sola scriptura and if they see waffling or weakness or inadherence to the scriptures by those that SAY they adhere to scripture first and foremost, they take every opportunity to impugn their RESOLVE, because they SAY and DO NOT DO!
JESUS IS THE FULFILLMENT OF THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS. The New Testament is NO REPLACWEMENT OF THE OLD. IT IS THE FULFILLMENT! Need proof! Here are some EXPLICIT references AS WRITTEN IN THE King James Bible, TRUE THROUGH AND THROUGH IN EVERY WORD!
Matthew 1:22
Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,

Luke 21:24
And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.
Put away yuor tradition and take up the tradition of GOD ACCORDING TO HIS WORD. HIS WORD IS PLAINLY TRUE. IF you can read it, you can rely on it, even if you do not fully understand it. Ask and YE shall receive will take care of that part. Any lesser standard of belief in HIS HOLY WORD, is accepting the traditions of men and those are the "LETTERS" that "KILL" and those are what JESUS DECRIED AND BERATED THE PHARISEES ABOUT.
If you still insist the Sabbath, the token of JESUS CHRIST AND MESSIAH is not important or "JEWISH", since when have you as a believer in JESUS been CUT OUT OF THE OLIVE TREE'S ROOT AND FATNESS. You as a believer in JESUS ARE GRAFTED IN TO THE ROOT AND FATNESS THAT IS JESUS OUR KING. The Jews wre broken off for unbelief, and do you think you with unbelief will fare any better? Look it up. If it says "unto all your generations" or "perpetually" or "everlasting" etc. do we disregard that these words have EXTREMELY important meanings to ALL BELIEVERS? If you will keep the tradition of separation and GOD FORBID hatred of JEWS, YOU HAVE IGNORED the STORY OF RUTH AND THE WORDS OF THIS GENTILE MOABITESS HAVE BEEN FORGOTTEN. LET THEM NEVER FALL FROM YOUR LIPS. "YOUR GOD SHALL BE MY GOD AND YOUR PEOPLE SHALL BE MY PEOPLE!"
STOP WITH THE TRADITION ALREADY! DO IT ACCORDING TO THE PLAIN WORD OF GOD, HIS WORDS ARE SPIRIT AND THEY ARE LIFE!!!!
hi ernest, Remember Jesus has become our rest. sabbath is rest/intermission in the greek/hebrew. all that matters is who we go to for our rest ( matt 11:28, Heb 4:2-11, 1 cor 5:6-8)
yashua be praised.Beloved, it behooves us to really understand what james is saying in verse 22 of chptr.1,we are quick to quote this passage, but do we understand the meaning? do we really honor the sabbath? is this not hearing and doing? hint sabboth is NOT SUNDAY but friday sundown to saturday sun down, GENESIS 2:2-3 the truth
God offered his only begotten Son, Our Lord, Jesus Christ who is the only person to walk this earth free from sin-and through Jesus Christ it is possible to draw on his strength to avoid sin in our lives-- but we can ha
rdly escape it!
in verse 21 the faith in Jesus Christ is not enough to enter into heaven basing this verse. To enter into heaven is dual faith in Jesus Christ & faith to his word to work This verse 21 is contradicting in Ephesian 2 :8 & 9 faith alone you are saved. In Eph. 2:8&9 you will never read that your Soul be saved through faith but we can read our Soul be saved through to our own/individual work basing the words of Jesus Christ. Prophesied in Exeq. 14:14, 14:20, & in Exeq. 18:27 a living person is commanded to repent all his wrong doings. This verse, dead person is not able to do this. So, saving the Soul through the works of other persons is also cannot enter into the kingdom of heaven. In the new testament there are verses that we can read to save our own Soul is a great works through his words. Ref. verses : Acts 2:40, Col. 2:12, I Tim. 4:16 & James 1:21 & 22.
It is so easy to fall into being a hearer only. Especially when you don't know God's will for your life. The most important thing is to stay in the Word. Feed on it night and day and give God the glory for all things. Good as well as bad.
we must be doers and not just hearers only. and in being a doer we will be tempted in all ways and to and must fight a good fight,fast to hear and slow to speak. So in striving to achieve pure religion and not to be spoted of the world. stained by our sins.
its important to be a doer like james said
and not a hearer do what the bible says live
it practice what you preach paul said how can i
preach to others and i myself become a castaway
I agree with you! I need to ask God what He wants me to be doing while we are going through this instead of asking when He is going to deliver us. He is Great and Mighty and His ways is the only way
THIS IS WHAT TRUE CHRISTIANS SHOULD BE DOING
