You fight so, and only admit to a little. More of what I said and is written is also true--and right on topic. Why do you turn a blind eye to it? You may as well join the serpent in questioning, "Has God indeed said?"
I am not "self-proclaimed", but I have given you more of what I am than you deserve, but you have not heard.
Jesus came to rest, and peace and allow us to have contentment with Yahavah through faith.
At least, that is what I gather because his burden is light.
Just gonna share a few scriptures that back what I believe up.
Romans 5:1 states, "Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.". This verse highlights the concept of justification by faith, emphasizing that through faith in Jesus Christ, believers are declared righteous before God and experience a restored relationship with Him, resulting in peace.
Matthew 11:28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
1 John 4:21 And he has given us this command: Anyone who loves God must also love their brother and sister.
1 John 3:23 And this is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, even as he gave us commandment.
Hebrews 11: 6 And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.
John 1: 12 Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God— 13 children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God.
Galatians 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
Romans 5:. 3 Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; 4 perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5 And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.
The phrase "I will write my law on their hearts" is a quote from the Book of Jeremiah, specifically Jeremiah 31:33 and also appears in Hebrews 8:10. It signifies a new covenant where God's law is internalized and written on the hearts and minds of his people, rather than just being an external set of rules. This suggests a deeper, more personal relationship with God, where obedience stems from love and understanding rather than just obligation.
Just remember I am sharing these with anyone who wants to read them.
Whether they hold water or not is up the individual.
I believe and trust the accounts written in the bible, though they were not to me directly but them directly at that point in time, there is some benefit to gain from just looking in to it.
