This study goes over why the Law of Moses has not been abolished, the differences between the old and new covenants, what it means to be circumcised in the heart, and to walk in spirit. The study can be found in English here The Law of Moses Has Not Been Abolished | Wisdom of God or in Spanish here La Ley de Moisés No Ha Sido Abolida | Sabiduria de Dios . Let us begin a discussion on these matters.

Can I ask you what is the message of Jesus Christs' death and resurrection?

Believe in the son of God, repent (which means stop breaking the Law of God), humble yourself (which means sell your possessions and reduce yourself to little), bear good fruit (which means to do good works, give to the poor), become baptized in the holy spirit (where you become freed from sin, you die to sin, and become inwardly perfected), then partake in the resurrection of the righteous (where you outwardly perfected). This is the message of the gospel, generalized.

Hebrews 6:1 KJV
[1] Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,

What does repentance of dead works mean? And of faith toward God? What is that faith?



For me, repentance from dead works means my attempts and striving to produce salvation through my flesh which is condemned and returning to the dust. Those works are dead. Through the flesh of Christ and His blood we move on to perfection. Faith that God will do what He said which is:
Hebrews 10:17-18 KJV
[17] And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more. [18] Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.

If you say: repentance of dead works of the flesh, as in you sin no more. EVER. Do you continually go back and lay that foundation again when your vile flesh fails?

Do you believe, as a woman, I should wear a veil when I have already passed through the veil which is Jesus Christ and been born of God?

No sweet pea, "dead works" are actions that are evil that yield death. Meaning if you commit adultery, which is an action, you have now become worthy of dead in accordance to the Law of God, hence "dead works", which is also "bad fruit". Whereas the opposite of evil works, are good works. So rather than doing evil works that bring death unto you, now you must do good works that bring life, for any tree that does not bear good fruit will be cut down. Your good works should come as a result of your belief in the Lord Jesus Christ, humility, and obedience to him. Giving to the Poor, and the Necessity of Good Works and Bearing Good Fruit | Wisdom of God .

As a wife you must veil yourself, because that is how you demonstrate your humility and submission as a wife. All are called to humble themselves, where husbands humble themselves in a different way by selling their possessions. Humility and Sell Your Possessions and Properties | Wisdom of God .

All actions of the flesh yield death.
That is why the flesh is put to death; so that life (spirit) comes through Christ (the embodiment of the law). Not through works of the flesh(ours). The law condemns the flesh of man as unsuitable for the altar. Only Christ is pure and spotless and suitable for the altar. Only His work is acceptable to God as payment for sin.


Romans 8:6-8 KJV
[6] For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. [7] Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. [8] So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.

Give to the poor all you want.
It is not going to get you before a Holy God.
You are either carnally minded.
Or spiritually minded.
You can be double-minded. Tossed like a wave on the ocean.


Why would I wear a veil. When those in Christ are the light of the world. Why would I hide Him and not let what He has done for me shine like a beacon to the broken?


Philippians 2:15 KJV
[15] That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;

2 Corinthians 3:6-9 KJV
[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. [7] But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away: [8] How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious? [9] For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory.

You say you are the light of the world, yet you deny doing works, which is the meaning itself of the parable of being the light of the world? LOL,

You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven. (Matthew 5:14-16 [ESV])

You clearly have no understanding of the gospel woman. Read my studies that you may gain understanding, because there are very few people preaching the true message of Jesus Christ that I am trying to convey to you.

You speak of good works.
Yet you are the one that does not even know the meaning of the good fruit produced by a good tree.

It is Spiritual fruit produced by the Spirit. Hence why it is "spiritual fruit". It is not fruit produced by the flesh. Does it manifest in the flesh(peace,love,joy) absolutely. But the flesh doesn't get the glory. So why is the flesh the focus?

If you have truly been born of God. Given a new Spirit then that spirit is neither male nor female. It belongs to Jesus Christ. You belong to Jesus Christ, The Head of the spiritual body that steers his "helper" wherever she goes. Notice "she". Her role is submission to her Master and Lord. Do you know what submission means: to fully surrender to the blood of Jesus Christ.

You are still under the burden of sin believing you can be good enough. You believe you don't sin. There is only ONE way to not sin...that is FULL submission to the saving cleansing pure blood of Jesus Christ (the embodiment of the Law).

You can not be married to the law of Moses(the old covenant) and married to Christ. Then you are an adulterous.

What does the adulterous get?

Of what good is love if you see your brother hungry and do not feed him?

But if anyone has the world’s goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God’s love abide in him? (1 John 3:17 [ESV])

The fruits of the Spirit are not just happy and fluffy emotions, they are ACTIONS. You demonstrate the love in your heart by DOING GOOD. Understand,

Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. (Matthew 7:21 [ESV])

Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. (Matthew 7:19 [ESV])

“‘Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy. They were haughty and did detestable things before me. Therefore I did away with them as you have seen. (Ezekiel 16:49-50 [NIV])

Bring no more vain offerings; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot endure; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting. Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hates: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary of bearing them. And when you spread forth your hands, I will hide my eyes from you: yea, when you make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood. Wash you, make yourself clean; put away the evil of your doings from before my eyes; cease to do evil; Learn to do good; seek justice, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow. (Isaiah 1:13-17 [NLT])

Jesus answered, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.” (Matthew 19:21 [NIV])

When Jesus heard his answer, he said, “There is still one thing you haven’t done. Sell all your possessions and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.” (Luke 18:22 [NLT])

Looking at the man, Jesus felt genuine love for him. “There is still one thing you haven’t done,” he told him. “Go and sell all your possessions and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.” (Mark 10:21 [NLT])

Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a treasure in heaven that will never fail, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys. (Luke 12:33 [NIV])

But Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord, “Look, Lord! Here and now I give half of my possessions to the poor, and if I have cheated anybody out of anything, I will pay back four times the amount.” Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because this man, too, is a son of Abraham.
(Luke 19:8-9 [NIV])

They sold their property and possessions and shared the money with those in need. (Acts 2:45 [NLT])

that there were no needy persons among them. For from time to time those who owned land or houses sold them, brought the money from the sales and put it at the apostles’ feet, and it was distributed to anyone who had need. (Acts 4:34-35 [NIV])

Let the thief no longer steal, but rather let him labor, doing honest work with his own hands, so that he may have something to share with anyone in need. (Ephesians 4:28 [ESV])

Bear fruit in keeping with repentance. (Matthew 3:8 [ESV])

Instead, I preached to those in Damascus first, and to those in Jerusalem and in all the region of Judea, and to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works worthy of repentance. (Acts 26:20 [HCSB])

You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you. (John 15:16 [ESV])

And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work. (2 Corinthians 9:8 [ESV])

Therefore, if anyone cleanses himself from what is dishonorable, he will be a vessel for honorable use, set apart as holy, useful to the master of the house, ready for every good work. (2 Timothy 2:21 [ESV])

that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work. (2 Timothy 3:17 [ESV])

Remind them to be submissive to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good work, (Titus 3:1 [ESV])

having good behavior among the nations, so in that of which they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they see, glorify God in the day of visitation. (1 Peter 2:12 [NHEB])

In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven. (Matthew 5:16 [ESV])

and having a reputation for good works: if she has brought up children, has shown hospitality, has washed the feet of the saints, has cared for the afflicted, and has devoted herself to every good work. (1 Timothy 5:10 [ESV])

And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up. (Galatians 6:9 [ESV])

Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent, and do the works you did at first. If not, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place, unless you repent. (Revelation 2:5 [ESV])

If your brother becomes poor and cannot maintain himself with you, you shall support him as though he were a stranger and a sojourner, and he shall live with you. (Leviticus 25:35 [ESV])

You shall not take vengeance or bear a grudge against the sons of your own people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself: I am the LORD. (Leviticus 19:18 [ESV])

and said, ‘Cornelius, your prayer has been heard, and your gifts to the poor have been remembered before God. (Acts 10:31 [BSB])

Is not this the fast that I choose: to loose the bonds of wickedness, to undo the straps of the yoke, to let the oppressed go free, and to break every yoke? Is it not to share your bread with the hungry and bring the homeless poor into your house; when you see the naked, to cover him, and not to hide yourself from your own flesh? Then shall your light break forth like the dawn... (Isaiah 58:6-9[ESV])

...Therefore, O king, may my advice be pleasing to you: break away now from your sins by doing righteousness and from your iniquities by showing mercy to the poor, in case there may be a prolonging of your prosperity.’ (Daniel 4:24-27 [NASB])

If anyone, then, knows the good they ought to do and doesn’t do it, it is sin for them. (James 4:17 [NIV])

Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for ye pay tithes of mint and anise and cummin, and ye have left aside the weightier matters of the law, judgment and mercy and faith: these ye ought to have done and not have left those aside. (Matthew 23:23 [DBT])

No one can convince you, only God.

This life is temporal. There is no denying people are hurting. You have great empathy for the poor and hungry. I will not fault you there.

I will leave you with this though:

Do you want to give them something that really last or more of the temporal.
God provides the provision.
God provides Supernatural provision.
He teaches that in the fish and loaves.
Physical provision won't get it done. People are starving. They are in the fire and waiting to be plucked from it. They are in torment; no temporal handouts are going to quench that fire.

How do you break the yoke of burden around their neck?

Jesus is the bread given to the poor.

bring the poor into your house? what house? A spiritual one. The body of Christ. HIs storehouse house. HIs barn.

Are they naked...give them a coat. Whose the cover for their nakedness? Whose coat(without Seam) did they part as He hung on the cross?

God provides the supernatural provision. HIs "helper" the body distributes the goods. This is your good works. The Spirit does it. Is it based off love?


Luke 9:55-56 KJV
[55] But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of. [56] For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them . And they went to another village.

How can you destribute when you won't even accept that Jesus Christ is your ONLY cover?

How can you remove the yoke from another neck...when you have one around yours. His yoke is light.

Revelation 3:18 KJV
[18] I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.


How can you be Spirit when you refuse to accept the provision the LORD provided for sin (which is the Lamb/Christ) and instead continue to provide your own cover for sin?

So...if you believe that, why are you here preaching to the converted?
Surly the message is for the great unwashed, not Christians! :eek:

What you're saying is complete foolishness. It's as if you're wanting to say , "Go in peace" without wanting to actually do good by providing for the needs of the poor and the hungry,

If one of you says to them, "Go in peace; keep warm and well fed," but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead. But someone will say, "You have faith; I have deeds." Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by my deeds. You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that--and shudder. You foolish person, do you want evidence that faith without deeds is useless? (James 2:16-20 [NIV])

Thinking that a message of "go in peace" is sufficient, while leaving your brother hungry. Everything that happens in the world is appointed by God, and he has appointed the existence of the needy that we, as the elect, may demonstrate righteousness in doing good to them with ACTIONS,

For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. (Ephesians 2:10 [NIV])

How much longer will you be stubborn and fail to understand that YOU MUST DO GOOD WORKS, otherwise your faith is dead and useless. Get off your lazy butt and stop finding stupid excuses to not do good and DO GOOD,

Is not this the fast that I choose: to loose the bonds of wickedness, to undo the straps of the yoke, to let the oppressed go free, and to break every yoke? Is it not to share your bread with the hungry and bring the homeless poor into your house; when you see the naked, to cover him, and not to hide yourself from your own flesh? Then shall your light break forth like the dawn, and your healing shall spring up speedily; your righteousness shall go before you; the glory of the LORD shall be your rear guard. Then you shall call, and the LORD will answer; you shall cry, and he will say, ‘Here I am.’ If you take away the yoke from your midst, the pointing of the finger, and speaking wickedness, (Isaiah 58:6-9 [ESV])

“Wash yourselves, and make yourselves clean; remove your evil behavior from my presence; stop practicing what is evil. Learn to practice what is good; seek justice, alleviate oppression, defend orphans in court, and plead the widow’s case. “Please come, and let’s reason together,” implores the LORD. “Even though your sins are like scarlet, they’ll be white like snow. Though they’re like crimson, they’ll become like wool. (Isaiah 1:16-18 [ISV])

1 Corinthians 2:12-16 KJV
[12] Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. [13] Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. [14] But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them , because they are spiritually discerned. [15] But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. [16] For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.

1 John 4:16-18 KJV
[16] And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. [17] Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. [18] There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

Where the Spirit of God is there is no more torment. NO more condemnation. Perfect love (Christ) cast out fear.

The husband(Christ) bore our iniquity.
Numbers 30:15 KJV
[15] But if he shall any ways make them void after that he hath heard them ; then he shall bear her iniquity.

You can't be married to the Mosaic law and Jesus Christ.

Romans 7:4 KJV
[4] Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God.

It is foolishness to man because it steals mans glorying in the flesh, and gives the glory to the One it belongs to: God, the one that provided the supernatural provision.

Romans 10:2-4 KJV
[2] For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. [3] For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. [4] For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.

Your child is starving to death. The Spirit instructs you that you can give food for the belly, or offer Manna(Christ) with promise. one will extend the child's life here. The other will cut short life here, wiith you in the temporary. The spirit prompts you, in this case, it can only be one or the other. Which do you choose? Flesh or Spirit? Which is love?

Because many of you are still lawless and think the Law has been abolished.

So how is your 'keeping of the law perfectly' , working out for you?

Glad to meet a person who can actually live perfection.
Wish I could shake your hand.

You know, it seems the hardest truth for mankind to accept is that he can't work his way to perfection. The mosaic law clearly demonstrated mans inability to save himself. Yet, mankind holds tight to the belief that there is some goodness still left in the flesh. I thought that is what the law is suppose to reveal; there's not. It is insane how tight mankind holds to his own goodness.

Ephesians 2:15-16 KJV
[15] Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace; [16] And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:

Romans 8:5
[5] For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.

Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect. (Matthew 5:48 [NIV])
This is not an evil response. You are simply quoting what Jesus said. Others might scoff at you, but at worst you are the messenger of the moment. If your message is to do what is needed to obey his words, I am with you. Impossible, not for God it isn't. Most everyone looks at their weaknesses and the impossibility of attaining such perfection... but I do not. I cannot do it and you cannot, but God in us can... if we allow Him to work unimpeded. All of are good at quenching the Spirit and denying the power of God in us by saying, No when Jesus already effectively said, Yes.

This study goes over why the Law of Moses has not been abolished, the differences between the old and new covenants, what it means to be circumcised in the heart, and to walk in spirit.

Christ, the husband, died to release Israel, his wife, from the curse of the law, and from the covenant which Israel brake:

"Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth? For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband. So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man. Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God." -- Rom 7:1-4 KJV

"And he said unto them, This is my blood of the new testament (new covenant), which is shed for many." -- Mar 14:24 KJV

"Christ hath redeemed us [Israel] from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:" -- Gal 3:13 KJV

That was foretold in Jeremiah:

"Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the Lord:" -- Jer 31:31-32 KJV

As a wife you must veil yourself, because that is how you demonstrate your humility and submission as a wife
I dont know which god you worship, it aint the christian one...

Do you remember Adam or eve wearing anything in the garden of Eden, do you recall God demanding Eve cover herself when she is in His presence or even after he removed them,?? No they clothed themselves because they where embarrassed, that is just mans pride and arrogance no more no less. Nothing to do with God
