Are Christians in Trouble Spiritually?

NONE of those were manditory under the new Covenant of God, as those were to be based upon preference/conviction!

 

The key here is the words of Jesus: "I never knew you." Knowing Christ is salvation; thus as the sister said, we are dealing with lost people who believe in "salvation by obedience."

 

Amen, as there are the ones who Jesus never knew in a sense of being their Lord and friend!

 

As long as there is a devil on the loose...weeez in trouble! Not as much trouble as those that have not been born again. Stick close to the shepherd for less trouble.

Try not to over theologize my post or you will vacuum all the common sense out of it.

 

We are too idle today in our growth and in our walk, how many of us remember we are in a race, and remember we are all running the same race, we forget we need to encourage one another in the most Holy faith, ever consider how sly the devil can be, are the treasures of the world building up more in our closets, or is the treasure of wisdom being bought up more with the devotion of spending more time in the word, and in prayer. Remember that saying revival is God's finger pointed at you, its a good one to remember it helps for us to examine ourselves to see whether we be in the faith, good book to read is Seeking the Face of God by Martin Lloyd Jones

 

Are attempting to bind the Old Law to the present day? I suggest you read Galatians 5.

 

How does one get "into Christ"?

 

Hi Jason,

I just wanted to say that I demonstrate my love for God by rejoicing in what Jesus did (and does) for me - and by not putting any confidence in the flesh.

I demonstrate my obedience to Him by believing on Him Whom He has sent - by not being made afraid by those who would twist the word in order to re-establish the yoke of the law...

I stood at my kitchen sink once, thinking about the wonderful things God does for me and, retrospectively, what I do for God. With a heavy sigh I looked upwards and said, "I'm sorry I'm not a very good Christian, Lord..." Immediately I heard Him answer, "Well, who is!?" It was so liberating to receive that kind of confirmation from God. I instantly felt 10' tall! I felt my heart would burst for the love of God!

The one's Jesus doesn't know, are those who proudly seek to be justified in the flesh by keeping parts of the written law.They think that Jesus will make up for where they lacked, instead of trusting in His death and resurrection alone. Basically, they have not believed on Jesus and have trampled upon as unclean (insufficient) the precious blood of the Lamb.

I rest in Him, fully trusting that He Himself will establish me and guide me and ultimately save me. All to the glory of Jesus Who loved me and died for me. I'm going home resting on the promise of God.

Sounds to me like you're climbing up some other way...

 

By God's grace. You cannot enter on your own power (lest any man should boast). God must make you alive with Christ (Ephesians 2:4-9).

 

Ezekiel 36:26
Moreover, I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you. And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.

God is great. He has done this through the atoning work of Yeshua, YHWH himself.

 

LOL, your accusations are from hell. Be gone Satan.

 

No, they are twisted perversions from the cult you are in. It's 100% demonic the way you are perverting God's word. That kind of perversion is from hell. I pray that one day God releases you from your chains. At present you are a blind man who doesn't know the Light.

 

You have not shown it to be so because you have not answered any of the points I made.

I showed you three places in the NT where the dietary laws are shown to be discontinued. Just to remind you, they are Mark 7:18; Acts 10:13-15 (repeated in Acts 11), and Romans 14:14. 1 John 3:4 is irrelevant. You need to deal with those texts. What do they mean?

I think you'll find I did.

Philippians 3:5. 'Concerning the law, a Pharisee......concerning the righteousness that is in the law, blameless.' Where is there any suggestion that Paul was talking about oral law? There is none. So I ask you again; is your righteousness greater than being blameless in the righteousness that is in the law? Otherwise you will by no means enter the kingdom of God (Matthew 5:20).

 

I don't eat fish that does not have scales and fins ..on clothing ? Well I do not believe in religious restrictions I do however believe in Christian convictions. The New Testament did away with OT religious restrictions like sacrificing animals for sin and other however When it comes to clean and non clean animals ,fowl, fish that was not nailed to the Tree. The law of ordinance was nailed the tree but the Ten Commandments and the eating of what is clean and unclean was not. Fish ,foul and animals that were unclean still are because they can cause parasite in your stomach . When reading " What God has cleansed is cleansed " was referring to Gentiles ..the Jewish people believe that Gentiles were UNCLEAN like unclean animals. In fact Gentiles were not allowed to go into the holy place ..not even were Jews allowed behind the holy of holies only Priest were but Yeshua gave all born again access to the Throne of God when we pray in spirit.. Christ Yeshua split the veil , Yeshua broke down the dividing wall of separation of Jews and Gentiles bringing them both together... that is all who are born again they are of the seed of Abraham as God promised Abraham ...all that are born again of Christ Yeshua are Jew ( GAL. 3:29 )
