We do not keep God's commandments as a matter of personal faith. We keep His commandments as a matter of obedience to His faith.

Explain "obedience to His faith." Also what to you believe are His commandments?

We help each others' joy in the Lord by preaching only that which is written plainly for all to read and see for themselves, while not intruding into matters of personal faith and conscience by persuading and compelling them to do as we.

It's called live and let live in the faith and body of Christ.

It it is a peripheral issue, I don't care. But when someone believes something doesn't separates them from God, when it does, I do care and say something. I have been teaching the same things till I'm blue in the face. And now I need a nap. Bye for now.

I agree with your post, Robert, until I got to here above. Number of the beast is correct, but it says absolutely nothing about days.

The beast keeps days and numbers in mind to worship God, and judges others accordingly.

Ok, good correction.

Sabbath commanders that keep days in mind to worship God, and judge others accordingly, are like the beast that keeps numbers in mind to worship God, and judges others accordingly.

:)
Keeping numbers in mind is not the number of the beast.

You sure are a stickler for details of Scripture. I like that.

True. Keeping the numbers in mind is not the number, it's his number kept continually in mind, because it is stamped on the forehead, which is much like having it always on the brain.

A carnal commandment is a carnal ordinance: a law that condemns them as transgressors, that do not bodily obey it, according to the letter of it's command.

It has nothing to do with inward faith of the heart, even as obedience to outward circumcision in the flesh, has nothing to do with inward circumcision of the heart in the spirit of Christ.

The old covenant was made after the law of a carnal commandment.

All the law of Moses given by God was weak, in that it could not command inward faith, because it did not command it.

The later prophesies commanding inward faith and circumcision of heart were prophesying of the coming Redeemer, who would have power to do so for them that believe and confess Him from the heart.

The New Testament in Christ Jesus is made by the oath and power of an endless life, not by carnal commandments of letter to bodily obey, that kill the Spirit of God's great commandment and royal law to love our neighbors as ourselves.

The carnal commandment of the Sabbath never had anything spiritual about it. It was all about bodily rest:

But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates.

The Sabbath was made for man and beast. There is nothing spiritual about cattle resting from it's labor, because cattle do not worship God in spirit and in truth.

Nor did it have anything to do with inward faith, because cattle have no faith.

Them that continue to obey carnal commandments of Sabbath and circumcision, as commandment of God to bodily obey on a certain day and in a certain manner, are as beasts of burden under the heavy weight of men's commandments ministered for doctrine of Christ. And they are grievous, because they are not made after the Spirit:

I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.

The people of the cross are them that only obey the commandments of Jesus to love God and our neighbors as ourselves, which are not grievous, because they are the law of the Spirit of life and of grace: they freely and willingly do so any day, any time, and in any manner by faith.

Even as the Pharisees of old commanded their own traditions from Moses' seat, to place heavy burdens upon the people, so do they today as from the judgement seat of Christ:

Bel boweth down, Nebo stoopeth, their idols were upon the beasts, and upon the cattle: your carriages were heavy loaden; they are a burden to the weary beast. They stoop, they bow down together; they could not deliver the burden, but themselves are gone into captivity.

For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers. But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments.

When they see themselves gathering together on their special day of Sabbath, they can congratulate themselves on how enlarged they are in obedience to a carnal commandment of God, that even the cattle could keep. It is a commandment that never had anything to do with the worship of God in the Spirit, and now has no more to do with the commandment of God, to love our neighbors as ourselves.

Them that obey carnal commandments of men taught for doctrine of Christ, are beasts of burden that make themselves cattle for false teachers, who sit upon them as lords over God's heritage.

They cover themselves in scarlet color of blood outwardly, but are not blood washed by the Lamb in His Spirit.

For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.

The inward Jews of God worship the risen God of Israel any and every day. The so-called Jews after the flesh wait until Saturday. Or Sunday.

Any who bodily obey any carnal commandment of God given to Moses, bind themselves to obey all the law of Moses.

And if they do not, then they are as children in the market place of law, piping and dancing with one another, while playing as teachers in the law of God, making it a personal playground and place of their own choosing, to buy and sell what commandments of law of Moses they like to keep:

And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

The beast keeps days and numbers in mind to worship God, and judges others accordingly.

God's people have their names written in the the Lamb's book of life, by serving Him and keeping His commandments only.

sorry your attempt to justify not obeying the ten commandments namely the sabbath, does not justify. actually it justifies nothing at all.

to not steal is a physical act, isn't it? to not kill is also a physical act, a control of the body. and the rules are, you brake one, you brake them all. Paul and James agree in that.

The common faith of our common salvation (Jude 3) is called the faith of Jesus (Gal 2:16)(Rev 14:12), and is written in Scripture for the whole body to obey. Our personal faith is that of our own as members in particular, which guides us in our personal walk with Jesus.

The faith of Jesus written in Scripture commands the whole body not to fornicate. Our own personal faith in God will guide us in marrying or not: we have liberty to do so or not by our own faith and conscience.

Community law is over all its' citizens, house rules are the liberty of each citizen.

We love our neighbors first by obeying community law, and we further love our neighbor by respecting their house rules, while in their house.

We do not love our neighbor, if we refuse their rules while in their house. Neither do we love our neighbor by imposing our house rules on them in their house, or over the whole community.

So long as our liberty does not break common law, then we are free to live as we wish in our own homes.

As Christians, that liberty is also guided by our faith toward God, else we sin against our own conscience and God, though we are not transgressing any written commandment, such as adultery and murder and theft.

Exercising our personal faith in Jesus is by our petitions made to Him, and if we are keeping His commandments, He will fulfill them as we walk with Him.

When Abraham offered up Isaac, it was a personal call from God to do so, not a commandment written for all believers to do. Likewise, once we are keepers of His commandments in His body, then we can go on to the perfection of walking with Him as Abraham did by personal faith in Him, and also be called a friend of God.

Also what to you believe are His commandments

The commandments of the God of Israel were given to Moses, who wrote them down for the people of Israel to obey in covenant with God.

The commandments of our risen Lord, the risen God of Israel, are given to His apostles to write down for the body of Christ to obey in covenant with Himself as Savior and God.

Of the first ten commandments given by God on the mount, the only commandments of our risen Lord are written by the apostles, which Jesus personally gave to them to do (Acts 1:2). Thee ones I read are:

For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. (Rom 13:9)

Be there any other of the 10 commandments?

Idolatry (1 John 5:21), Honor mother and father (Eph 6:2), Taking the Lord's name in vain (1 Cor 12:3), No other gods before God (Gal 4:8).

Nine. No Sabbath command written by the apostles to obey.

But when someone believes something doesn't separates them from God, when it does,

Not sure where this is coming from, but any unconfessed and unrepented sin can and will surely separate us from God, even as it did Adam.

The wages of sin is still sure death: separation from God.

But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.

Show me where any apostle commands us to keep Sabbath, and I'll gladly obey it.

I can understand their judgment. They are concerned about us. I do the same thing. I'm concerned about most of the church who actually believes the doctrines of demons they have heard all their lives!
I don't think you are quite getting my point, sister.

How does someone care for our soul by preaching to us false doctrine and commandments of men?

Caring for one another is not by giving us false commandments to obey, that are not given us by Jesus.

What the so-caring believers were protecting, when they had Jesus crucified, was their false traditions and commandments of men taught for doctrine of God, by which they held personal rule over the people in the name of God.

I don't know about you, but I don't want anyone caring for by trying to rule my life according to their own rules.

Busybodies are listed in Scripture right along with murderers (1 Peter 4:15), because they go about getting into everyone else's business, to try and get everyone else to live the way they do.

If a believer of Jesus wants to keep a Sabbath any day they wish, including them that erringly believe it is by commandment of Jesus, then that is fine, and I say God bless them in it.

But if anyone comes to my door, to convince met I ought do the same by commandment, then I shut the door in their face without so much as a wave goodbye:

If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.

The most evil deed in all of Scripture is not drunkenness nor even murder, where they can kill the body only.

The most evil deed in the church and house of God is overthrowing the faith of God in the believers by false ministry: false prophets, apostles, christs, teachers and preachers of false doctrine and commandments of men. These are the dragon's best helpers to steal, kill, and destroy the sheep of the Lamb of God.

Mystery Babylon is the mystery of how lovers of God could be persuaded to love false teachers more than God, by allowing themselves to be brought under false burdens and rules and commandments, that God never said nor wrote for His believers to keep and to do.

I've been there and done that, and by the grace of God I was delivered from it, and I surely intend by Scripture to stay delivered from it.

That is no doubt why I am fairly zealous over keeping my liberty in Christ, because I know what it is like to foolishly give that up, by ignorantly believing and keeping commandments of men taught for doctrine of Christ.

Curtis, circumcision is outside the Ten Commandments.

Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage. 2 Indeed I, Paul, say to you that if you become circumcised, Christ will profit you nothing. 3 And I testify again to every man who becomes circumcised that he is a debtor to keep the whole law. 4 You have become estranged from Christ, you who attempt to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace.

I know where you are coming from. But I don't take it as far as you do that if you keep any part of the law you have to keep the whole thing. Its actually the opposite when the Ten Commandments are concerned. If you BREAK one commandment, you've broken them ALL. Circumcision is part of the ceremonial laws, and I believe so is the Sabbath as it is first in the list of Leviticus 23. But I do refer to the Torah with regards to homosexuality, marriage, remarriage, divorce, and the occult, and whether a pastor can marry anyone other than a virgin - even a widow is off-limits.

Personally, I refuse to sin, so I don't date, even though it was my Christian husband who divorced me without cause and married his mistress in 2001. I believe they are living in perpetual adultery for as long as they are together and don't repent. But he is still the last man I kissed. And I still wear my rings. But when I look at them, I see Jesus as my Husband, though I still have my husband's last name. Isa. 54:5
Its actually the opposite when the Ten Commandments are concerned. If you BREAK one commandment, you've broken them ALL

I apologize. maybe I have made a false assumption. When you agreed about the Sabbath indeed being carnal commandment, you were not necessarily agreeing that commandment is not commanded by Jesus to us to obey.

You still keep a Sabbath in obedience to a commandment of God?

In any case, if so, I have no doubt you are blessed in it. But I don't do so as by commandment. If I choose to have at least one day of rest from work, then that would be between me and my Lord. Like tithing. Tithing is no more by commandment of God. All our offerings to help support ministry is of free will only, and none of it as by necessity. If I believed God wanted me to dedicate a certain amount to ministry at certain times, in the manner of a tithe, then I would.

Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.

God is not telling us we better tithe and we better do it with a smile on our face.

Circumcision is part of the ceremonial laws,

Being a stickler for Scripture, I'm surprised you said this. Where does Scripture ever call any of God's law 'ceremonial' law? Or 'dietary' law?

All His law is one law to be obeyed equally, and transgression of any of it, is transgression of all of it.

There was the death penalty for breaking the Sabbath, and there was the death penalty for mixing the ointment wrong and offering strange fire before the Lord. That's not 'ceremonial' in nature. That was law of God indeed, with the force of law of God.

The whole law was done away in the body of Jews buried in the grave. He rose again with entirely New Covenant, priesthood, people, law, and commandment.

It certainly is strange how that certain people can be so adamant about a commandment that is nowhere written as such by the apostles of Jesus Christ, and yet ignore the only mentioning of that commandment by the apostles is to not judge by it.

A commandment without judgment of God is no commandment of God at all, even as a law without transgression is no law at all.

Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression.

Because a commandment works obedience: for where no commandment is, there is no judgment.

Where no judgment is allowed, there is no commandment.

In the end, carnal minded people refuse to understand how their personal rules of life, even as by faithful obedience to a law, can be absolutely nothing to other people of faith, and God allows for both: He allows people to keep their own cherished rules in life, and He allows for others not to.

The only law and commandment God commands all to obey are His own.

He once commanded His people to keep a Sabbath, and now He does not, because the covenant of that commandment died with the One who made it, and when He rose again, He did so with a new covenant and law of commandment: love our neighbors as ourselves, and worship Him in spirit and in truth every day and any day on earth.

Yes sir, those two commandments summed up the whole law covenant, those of the new covenant as well, however there are many laws in the new covenant that we are under that is involved with those two commandments.

There is no documentation where anyone taught, to not obey or disregard the sabbath, nor is there any disobedience of the sabbath law by any of the apostles documented in scripture. Is there? Also, what Jesus did during sabbath was the true meaning and or interpretation of the sabbath law. Since Moses received it of the Word of God hence Jesus is the Word of God therefore the correct interpreter thereof.


Also:

Mat 5:19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.


so, maybe you should rethink your place in the agreement or your disagreement with the Lord Jesus Christ. your excuse that no one told you to do, what they were doing is no excuse.

True. Keeping the numbers in mind is not the number, it's his number kept continually in mind, because it is stamped on the forehead, which is much like having it always on the brain.

Okay, I can buy that, but what does that have to do with SDAs who do not give allegiance to the Antichrist who IS the beast?

A carnal commandment is a carnal ordinance: a law that condemns them as transgressors, that do not bodily obey it, according to the letter of it's command.

It has nothing to do with inward faith of the heart, even as obedience to outward circumcision in the flesh, has nothing to do with inward circumcision of the heart in the spirit of Christ.

The old covenant was made after the law of a carnal commandment.

All the law of Moses given by God was weak, in that it could not command inward faith, because it did not command it.

The later prophesies commanding inward faith and circumcision of heart were prophesying of the coming Redeemer, who would have power to do so for them that believe and confess Him from the heart.

The New Testament in Christ Jesus is made by the oath and power of an endless life, not by carnal commandments of letter to bodily obey, that kill the Spirit of God's great commandment and royal law to love our neighbors as ourselves.

The carnal commandment of the Sabbath never had anything spiritual about it. It was all about bodily rest:

But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates.

The Sabbath was made for man and beast. There is nothing spiritual about cattle resting from it's labor, because cattle do not worship God in spirit and in truth.

Nor did it have anything to do with inward faith, because cattle have no faith.

Them that continue to obey carnal commandments of Sabbath and circumcision, as commandment of God to bodily obey on a certain day and in a certain manner, are as beasts of burden under the heavy weight of men's commandments ministered for doctrine of Christ. And they are grievous, because they are not made after the Spirit:

I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.

The people of the cross are them that only obey the commandments of Jesus to love God and our neighbors as ourselves, which are not grievous, because they are the law of the Spirit of life and of grace: they freely and willingly do so any day, any time, and in any manner by faith.

Even as the Pharisees of old commanded their own traditions from Moses' seat, to place heavy burdens upon the people, so do they today as from the judgement seat of Christ:

Bel boweth down, Nebo stoopeth, their idols were upon the beasts, and upon the cattle: your carriages were heavy loaden; they are a burden to the weary beast. They stoop, they bow down together; they could not deliver the burden, but themselves are gone into captivity.

For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers. But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments.

When they see themselves gathering together on their special day of Sabbath, they can congratulate themselves on how enlarged they are in obedience to a carnal commandment of God, that even the cattle could keep. It is a commandment that never had anything to do with the worship of God in the Spirit, and now has no more to do with the commandment of God, to love our neighbors as ourselves.

Them that obey carnal commandments of men taught for doctrine of Christ, are beasts of burden that make themselves cattle for false teachers, who sit upon them as lords over God's heritage.

They cover themselves in scarlet color of blood outwardly, but are not blood washed by the Lamb in His Spirit.

For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.

The inward Jews of God worship the risen God of Israel any and every day. The so-called Jews after the flesh wait until Saturday. Or Sunday.

Any who bodily obey any carnal commandment of God given to Moses, bind themselves to obey all the law of Moses.

And if they do not, then they are as children in the market place of law, piping and dancing with one another, while playing as teachers in the law of God, making it a personal playground and place of their own choosing, to buy and sell what commandments of law of Moses they like to keep:

And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

The beast keeps days and numbers in mind to worship God, and judges others accordingly.

God's people have their names written in the the Lamb's book of life, by serving Him and keeping His commandments only.


As Paul so correctly wrote, god gave the law to drive Israel to faith and to make sin even more powerful!

But when someone believes something doesn't separates them from God, when it does,

Not sure where this is coming from, but any unconfessed and unrepented sin can and will surely separate us from God, even as it did Adam.

The wages of sin is still sure death: separation from God.

Liked your post, but see you have a question.

I called a doctrine of demons:
But when someone believes something doesn't separates them from God, when it does,

The source of this reference is this 500 year old quote that I've kept in a personal document:

"If you are a preacher of mercy, do not preach an imaginary but the true mercy. If the mercy is true, you must therefore bear the true, not an imaginary sin. God does not save those who are only imaginary sinners. Be a sinner, and let your sins be strong, but let your trust in Christ be stronger, and rejoice in Christ who is the victor over sin, death, and the world. We will commit sins while we are here, for this life is not a place where justice resides. We, however, says Peter (2. Peter 3:13) are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth where justice will reign. It suffices that through God’s glory we have recognized the Lamb who takes away the sin of the world. No sin can separate us from Him, even if we were to kill or commit adultery thousands of times each day. Do you think such an exalted Lamb paid merely a small price with a meager sacrifice for our sins? Pray hard, for you are quite a sinner."

That is where the unscriptural doctrine of a continual cleansing of "past, present and future" sins came from.

2 Peter 1:9 "...cleansed from OLD sins." (Those are from the past, BEFORE, repentance and cleansed from ALL unrighteousness of 1 John :9 and Acts 2:38.

How does someone care for our soul by preaching to us false doctrine and commandments of men?

It is a very common belief in the Church and in the world that the laws of God ARE the Ten Commandments still...

SDAs believe that they still are too, and as far as the New Covenant that is what is written on our hearts? So they don't just keep 9 of them, but all 10. And feel they need to convince the world that we can't break one, and that's alright with God as long as we keep 9 of them. James 2 seems to speak against that mentality and strives that according to the old law that if you break one, you've broken them all. Unfortunately, the following verse (12) is the clincher for the New Covenant. The Law of Liberty is NOT the Ten Commandments.

What is actually written on our hearts is the Royal Law that the Ten Commandments were fashioned after, and those partial commandments (10C) were holy Romans 7:13, but could never make one righteous because of the old man, the carnal nature left over from Adam's sin. Jesus came to take away that carnal nature that spewed out sin, thus taking away our sin, and filled us with a new nature that could partake of the divine nature of God. 2 Peter 1:2-4.

The Royal Law is LOVE God with all your strength, mind and heart, and LOVE your neighbor as yourself. The Ten Commandments were the bottom line, covering the surface, but never went any deeper to where iniquity dwells in hate, and lust.

The commandments of Jesus copy the Royal law. 1 John 3:23. Believe on the name of His Son, Jesus Christ, and Love your neighbor.

No, I don't; keeping a day is the physical letter of the law. And yet I keep the SPIRIT of that law. Resting in Jesus. Study 1 John 3, and for this part, verses 21-24.

I'm having slow computer issues and need to call to have my computer cleaned. I hope I still have a computer afterwards and it is not a serious virus. So if you answer these posts to you and I don't get back to you quickly, you'll know I would never ignore you. This is fun for me.

There is no documentation where anyone taught, to not obey or disregard the sabbath, nor is there any disobedience of the sabbath law by any of the apostles documented in scripture. Is there? Also, what Jesus did during sabbath was the true meaning and or interpretation of the sabbath law. Since Moses received it of the Word of God hence Jesus is the Word of God therefore the correct interpreter thereof.


Also:

Mat 5:19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.


so, maybe you should rethink your place in the agreement or your disagreement with the Lord Jesus Christ. your excuse that no one told you to do, what they were doing is no excuse.

I.e. no Scripture of the apostles commanding us to obey a Sabbath.

Okay, I can buy that, but what does that have to do with SDAs who do not give allegiance to the Antichrist who IS the beast?
Antichrists go out from the apostles' doctrine to no longer be of their authority in ministry (1 John 2:19, in order to to establish their own authority over others with their own righteousness, that is according to their own commandments taught for doctrine of Christ.

The apostles never commanded us to keep the Sabbath. Sabbath commanders must depart from the apostles' doctrine in order to do so.

False teaching of commandments of men for doctrine of Christ: antichrists.

Antichrists teach in the name of Jesus with their lips, but they cannot confess His Word from their hearts (1 John 4:3), because they are teaching other than what he gave His apostles to write to us in Scripture: His commandments and doctrine. (Acts 1:4)(2 John 1:9)
