Ditto. So, I hope that clears it up. I do not wilfully break any of the 10...but I do not follow them either....
The most bizarre and contradictory comment I have ever read from a Christian Rach.
This is between you and your god, none of my business, you can explain it to God at Judgement day.
God bless.
This thread is being steered by a neurotic law-bondage person.
I have stated that the New Testament is according to the Spirit. But this is lost on a carnal person who believes that the true obedience to God has more to do with coffee breaks than walking in the power of God.
Episkopos, why do you wilfully break God's Commandment that says, "thou shalt not falsely accuse thy neighbour?" I suppose like Rach, you do not follow the 10 Commandments either? Yes or No?
I have never ever taught law-bondage, in fact I teach and preach salvation by faith + grace alone. HOWEVER, once a person is sincerely born again and saved by faith + grace alone, they delight walking in the Law, because God writes HIS LAW on the heart and we delight in walking after the Law.
Any person who claims to be a Christian and claims to be saved, YET DOES NOT keep the Law or 10 Commandments is a LIAR, FAKE, PHONY, IMPOSTOR and not a truly saved Christian.
So listen carefully, I will repeat it, any person who willfully breaks Gods Commandments, has NO TRUTH and there is no light in them! [1John 2:4]
And in John 14:15 it says those who love Jesus will keep His Commandments.
1 John 5:3. Not only is the law not grievous for the Spirit-filled child of God, but obedience becomes a joyful possibility. The psalmist wrote, "I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart." Psalms 40:8.
Romans 3:31 Do we then nullify the Law through faith? May it never be! On the contrary, we establish the Law.
Romans 6:15 What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not!
Anyone who claims to be saved, yet does not follow God's Commandments and does not keep them, are not truly saved in the first place and they are NOT doing GOD'S WILL, and instead they practice LAWLESSNESS and they will be be shocked at Judgement day when they are told to DEPART from God, even though they thought they were saved!
Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, 'Lord, Lord,' have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?' And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!' " Matt. 7:21-23
What exactly is
lawlessness? Answer: It's not following God's Law, and breaking God's Law which you admit to doing!
We are NOT SAVED by keeping the LAW, we are saved by FAITH + GRACE ALONE, however, as I have stated, a truly and sincerely saved person will be keeping the Law and the lost will not be.
It's a shocking story, many people have convinced themselves that they are saved, yet they don't keep God's Law, and still believe they will get into heaven by faith alone, but what they failed to realise is that someone SINCERELY saved by faith alone, will be walking in obedience to the Law. It will be a shock at Judgement day when they are told to depart from Jesus, because they HATED the LAW, and HATED to follow the LAW, and tried desperately to find justification for their Law breaking! They were deceived and lost!
This is what happens to the truly saved:
I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they shall be my people, says the Lord - Jer 31.
God bless.
