WE NEED TO KNOW WHICH COMMANDMENTS FROM CHRIST ARE FOR US

[Doug]

What offerings are you speaking of?

Since you have not met me face to face, you have no understanding of how I worship God or follow His commandments.

Doug, do you/we tithe around 23.3% of our respective incomes?
Do you/we feed the poor who you rub shoulders with every day?
Do you/we clothe the naked?
Do you/we support the widows and orphans?
Do you/we visit those in prison.
Do you/we lift the heavy burdens off of those near us?
Do you or I live our lives as a worthy sacrifice unto God?

Do we both follow the promptings of the Lord to bless those around us with our giving or time?

Doug, would you be prepared to lose your life for the sake of your relationship with God/Christ?

Doug do you or I go away and sin no more after receiving our redemption?

Doug, I have not sort to establish a list of what I should or should not do by which I will be saved

If we Love God/Christ then we will take up our own cross and follow Him.

What offerings are you speaking of?

All the offerings contained in the law

Since you have not met me face to face, you have no understanding of how I worship God or follow His commandments.

I wasnt judging how you worship I was only responding to what you wrote

Doug, I have not sort to establish a list of what I should or should not do by which I will be saved

We arent saved by works We are saved by believing on Christ and believing he died for our sins and rose again

THE GOSPEL​

I know he doesn't and neither should we. Here is my response to him..................I am not saying we should or can make offerings but you said all the commandments were for us. So they cant all be can they?

The sermon on the mount is not directed to us it was teaching Israel the attributes of believing Israel exhibited in the millennial kingdom.
The kingdom of heaven is the prophetic kingdom on earth promised Israel and is what the sermon on the mount is about...........[Mat 5:3 KJV] "Blessed [are] the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."

With the notable exception of Genesis Chapter 1 and John Chapters 1 thru 3, the words spoken by the Lord Jesus Christ during His Sermon on the Mount are probably the most important words ever uttered in the history of humanity. And should be read and reread, if not committed to memory, by any and every person who has ever considered himself to be His disciple.

To even suggest that they were somehow intended for another people from another time, and not intended for us is... incredible? preposterous? Somebody help me out, please.

I do hope I've misunderstood what's being said here, some clarification would be greatly appreciated.

Just when you think you've heard it all in a christian forum...wow, just wow!

That's only a part of it. He also denies Mt 28:19-20 is for our time. It's only meant for the millennial kingdom.(????) You see, this is the kind of stuff that is out there. It holds people in bondage and deception and only the truth can make them free. Jude's words were never more urgent:

Jude 3-4
Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.

Jude's Epistle doesn't get nearly enough attention.

I hate to say this, because I'm probably the worst sinner I know.

But the source of all the world's problems, and of all the division within what passes for the Body of Christ these days, is the same problem that has plagued mankind since all the way back to the Garden.

Sin.

[Mat 5:3 KJV] "Blessed [are] the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."........The kingdom of heaven is what Jesus was instructing them about.......the kingdom was at hand, a literal kingdom in which they would reign with him
