Why did we skip the caps on this verse? “For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.” “OF NECESSITY A CHANGE ALSO OF THE LAW” The law did indeed change with Jesus. 2 Cor. 3:7-9 If you knew how much changed with the resurrection, it would cause you joy. He paid the debt of the world. His Grace falls on those who believe. Col. 2:13-15 Obedience is to the Truth of the Gospel. John 3:16 Rev. 11: 19 The ark was opened.. The veil is torn; direct access is ours through Jesus’ blood (Heb. 10:19-22). The old covenant is obsolete; we’re led by the Spirit, not the Law on tablets (Heb. 8:13; Gal. 5:18). Rev. 22:14.. Yes. Blessed are they; yet the commandments have changed per the same author of Revelation, that is John: “And this is His commandment, that we should believe in the name of His Son, Jesus Christ, and we should love one another, just as He gave the commandment to us.” (1 John 3:23), bc this is how God has chosen to redeem and change us.. through faith working in Love. The law is Love. The Law is Liberty, because Christ redeemed us all from death, hell, and the Grave. Why frustrate Grace? (Rom. 6:14; Heb. 10:14)

@Toneskeee I know you look for Proverbs, but the Old Covenant is obsolete… Micah has it correct: “He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?”

What is the duty which God requires of man?

@JoshuaAtLarge 🙌🙌❤️

Christianity has brainwashed me. I want to spend the rest of my life with one woman, pray for those who hate me, forgive easily, raise a beautiful family, stay away from gossip, be a good dad, and find peace in Jesus Christ. I'm definitely brainwashed. I just hope my children will end up brainwashed like me too.

@SkyVirginSon Without the RCC, the text wouldn’t have been hidden from the majority of people for a millennia and a half. That’s equivalence. 😆 Hmm, what will God do to Rome, now that the end is near? The system will never survive. It’s manmade.

without the Catholic Church, there literally is no Bible.

@ravenhillquotes Key takeaway: “Devil was prepared.” Also, unwritten point: “as if God needed any thing”

If you want to know how valuable worship really is, the Devil was prepared to give God the whole world if He’d worship him for five minutes.

@BethanyMcGrew @1Tim2verse4 @rootcausesleuth “Doctrine of imputation”.. I don’t even care to know what that is.. it wasn’t stated as that. I know the Bible, but I will bow out now and let all you doctrine lawyers figure that stuff out. Be well. 🙂

Technically what is being said is that the righteousness we get by our faith in Jesus comes from God, not that all of God’s righteous acts are being considered by Him to have been actually done by us. What’s being discussed is whether the Bible teaches “the doctrine of imputation” or “double imputation”.

It’s simple: Present a scripture that says God imputes Christ’s righteousness to us.

@ProvisionistP @rootcausesleuth @Joeray Exactly. It’s imputed by Him.. counted to you (you gain both it and all things pertaining to it.. all God’s promises, and a heavenly domain and inheritance.. aka the riches of His Grace). Rejoice! It’s very good news!! 🙌❤️

@MomC3P91 @rootcausesleuth @Joeray It’s mine because He has gifted it to me but its source is not me.

@BethanyMcGrew @1Tim2verse4 @rootcausesleuth No, He says God’s righteousness.. aren’t they the same?

@MomC3P91 @1Tim2verse4 @rootcausesleuth The issue is that Paul doesn’t say “Christ’s righteousness” is imputed to us. He simply says that God credits those who have faith as “righteous”. And some of us aren’t comfortable reading into the text things that aren’t there.

Eph. 1:11 “in Him, in whom also we obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of the One working all things according to the counsel of His will” Please don’t misconstrue this as me advocating for predestination of the Calvinist variety, Root.. I hope you know my thoughts there: TULIP is a lie, bc it inverts God’s Character and His purpose to show us the riches of His loving kindnesses and Grace. No, I’m keeping to the topic. More in Eph. 1..13-14; … “ in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.” Being sealed by the Spirit is a very clear imputation of God’s righteousness upon believers. It’s real and tangible.

@Be_Like_JChrist Yes.. looking forward to it. 🙂

@MomC3P91 Will you be available to do a space this afternoon?

Christ is our freedom. Torah lovers will point you to your obedience as the means of sanctification But sanctification was never by human effort. That is an assumption, not supported by any scripture. All sanctification happens inside of relationship. Otherwise you’re just trying to manage sin for God. And that is no different than legalism. When we turned to Holy Spirit, he removes the veil that prevents us from seeing clearly. The result is that we are transformed into the image of Christ because our thinking drastically changes.

@Be_Like_JChrist Do you mean the body of flesh or the ‘mind of’? They aren’t the same. The mind of came into being as a result of the fall, and it’s contrary to God. The body is not.

When God was walking me through deliverance from p0rn, He started talking to me about iniquity of the heart that drives sinful behavior. Specifically unrighteous judgment against others and myself. He seems to consider bitterness, unforgiveness, and condemnation to all be us sitting on His throne. This was a big part of my deliverance. People think that the flesh causes sin. Actually it is unrighteous judgment. Unrighteous judgment is established by us to protect the flesh.

@ProvisionistP @rootcausesleuth @Joeray If Christ’s righteousness is not yours, you have none. Believe me.

@rootcausesleuth @Joeray It is not without regards to a person because GOD is reckoning it as righteousness. It is an inference to say it is God’s (understandable). It is quite another to state that it is “Christ’s works” that are transferred to our account. Lots of presupps at play there IMO

@1Tim2verse4 @rootcausesleuth Paul says no righteousness of my own; and Righteousness of God by faith. If it’s God’s righteousness, you don’t see it as imputed?

@MomC3P91 @rootcausesleuth I don't really have a dog in this right atm, but this is Christ's righteousness. We trust in HIS righteousness, but that doesn't make it ours. It is the righteousness of Christ that saves us, not our own. I don't see this saying that His righteousness is imputed to us.

You obviously are dissuading people from sin, and that’s awesome, bc sin does bring death through the law. Rom. 7:10 You also seem to value truth since you’ve posted many warnings about the person you believe describes antichrist.. This is my final post to you, and I wish you Grace and Hope in all things. I don’t believe the same conclusions you posted, bc certain scriptures don’t fall so neatly into a mix of OT code and grace. I wasn’t confused by whether Jesus could give new commandments according to OT law. I know He could not have if He came in God’s name. This is bc the same Old Covenant law forbids anyone adding to or removing from it. By saying the law remains, it indicts Yeshua as a False Prophet, bc He added to it in Olivet and gave a new commandment to his disciples. (John 13:34 cf. 1 Jn 3:23) What I’m saying is this: if the OT law was not fulfilled in Himself and a New Covenant in effect by His work, then His issuing of a new command was against His Father’s commandments, which would break Moses and upend The Messiahs ministry. But, we know neither is true bc the Old Covenant along with its Law (statutes) and ordinances is obsolete, and the priesthood has changed. (Heb. 7:12; Heb. 8:13) Also, we can’t quote one of Paul’s lists of deeds of the flesh (which sin we agree that is condemned under the law and unbelief), and at the same time leap over the scriptures he wrote stating the believer is “not under the law, but under Grace.” “Not under” (Rom. 6:14; Gal. 5:18) “Died to/Released from” (Gal. 2:19; Rom 7:4-6) “Ended/Abolished” (Rom. 10:4; Eph. 2:15) “A tutor we’re no longer under” (Gal. 3:24-25) “Kills; ministry of death and condemnation contrasted with Spirit’s ministry” (2 Cor. 3:6-9) “Canceled decrees; canceled certificates of death through; A shadow” (Col. 2:14;17) Paul listed “deeds of the flesh” a few times in letters it’s true, but he wasn’t contradicting himself… these lists focus on the identity of the person, not on the law at all: “such were some of you”… “children of disobedience vs. children of light” So, you see believers aren’t under the law but under Grace, the covenant itself has changed and all their trespasses have been forgiven. Rom. 6:14; Heb. 7:12; Heb. 8:13; Heb 10:10;14; Col. 2:13-14 Be well! 🙂

In regards to your first statement, the Lawless one is called so precisely because he thinks to change God's laws and God's time. Jesus Christ warned that the deception of the last days will come from those who come in His name saying that He is the Christ. Matthew 24:4-5 [4]And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. [5]For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. Paul's tells us that the Lawless one will come with all signs and wonders in order to deceive. 2 Thessalonians 2:9-10 [9]Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, [10]And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. The antichrist will cause people to break God's Law by Deception because people will worship him and his image. You cannot have worship without the Law whatsoever. That is why Jesus Christ said unto the Pharisees that their worship is in vain because they had made the Law of God of none effect by their traditions Matthew 15:9 [9]But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. In the book of Revelation, those who do not worship the beast and His image have on difference with everyone else which is that they keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. Revelation 12:17 [17]And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. Revelation 14:12 [12]Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus. There can never be true worship among those who reject the Commandments of God. In answer to your question about God's tabernacle, Hebrews 8 tell us clearly Hebrews 8:1-2 [1]Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens; [2]A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man. We also read in Hebrews 9:11 [11]But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building; The above Scriptures makes it abudantly clear that there is a tabernacle that God pitched in heaven and that Jesus Christ is the High priest who ministers there in. The Scriptures also spells that the Church is the Spiritual temple of God and the individual believers is a habitation of God through the Holy Spirit. Ephesians 2:21-22 [21]In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord: [22]In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit. The temple on earth is where the results of Jesus Christ's ministry in the heavenly Temple are made manifest. Acts 2:32-33 [32]This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses. [33]Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear. The priesthood I never claimed that the tribe of Judah were priests. The text is speaking of Christ who could not become a priest on earth because He was not from the tribe of Levi. The term New covenant is first used by God who makes it known unto Jeremiah. Jeremiah 31:31-33 [31]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: [32]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: [33]But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I WILL PUT MY LAW IN THEIR INWARDS PARTS, AND WRITE IT IN THEIR HEARTS; AND WILL BE THEIR GOD, AND THEY SHALL BE MY PEOPLE. God explains to Ezekiel how He would accomplish the New covenant Ezekiel 36:25-27 [25]Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you. [26]A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. [27]And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them. God was going to give the people a heart of flesh where He would write His Law and He was going to give His Holy Spirit to the people so that they would walk in His Law. The Law given at Sinai was written on tables of Stones and as it turned out the hearts of the Israelites were stony and the Law could not be kept by them. God lead them captive to Babylon where He promised to give them a heart of Flesh so that His Law can be written in it. This is what makes the Covenant New. Not because the Laws Changed. We know that the Laws did not change because Jesus Christ taught that the things that defile a man is breaking if the 10 commandments. Matthew 15:19 [19]For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies: He told the Pharisees Matthew 15:3-4 [3]But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition? [4]For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death. But what did the Pharisees do? They tried to circumvent what God has commanded. The list above is taken from the Law God Spoke with His voice and wrote with His finger. This Law does not Change whatsoever. In Galatians Paul says Galatians 5:19-21 [19]Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; ADULTERY, FORNICATION, uncleanness, lasciviousness, [20]IDOLATORY, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, [21]Envyings, MURDERS, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. In Romans 13 Paul says Romans 13:8-9 [8]Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law. [9]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. Notice that Paul lists all the commandments. Had the Law changed in anyway Paul would have listed something different other than taking the very list Jesus Christ speaks of in Matthew 15. About levitical priesthood today. I say that in Christ, we are all made priests and kings unto God because of the Blood of Jesus that was spilt for us according to the Scriptures. Revelation 1:5-6 [5]And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, [6]And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. This is one more reason as to why there was a change in the Law otherwise we could not become kings and priests seeing that we were not of anyone of the tribes of Israel. Jesus Christ and God the Father are one. However Jesus Christ clearly says that everything single thing He said was what the FATHER told Him to say. John 12:49 [49]For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. John 5:19 [19]Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise. John 14:23-24 [23]Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. [24]He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me. So the claim that Jesus Christ has His own commandments that He gave us false even according to Him. In answer to your statement where you quote Romans 5:20, would you mind reading that verse again. The Law entered that so that sin might increase. What is sin according to the Scriptures? 1 John 3:4 [4]Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. Romans 5:20 clearly shows that Sin was already present. Infact Paul says in the same chapter the following Romans 5:12-13 [12]Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: [13](For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law. Adam could not have been a sinner if there was no law Romans 3:20 [20]Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin. So, what Law was added at Sinai that sin may abound?

Under the new covenant, we get free by obedience to the commandment to believe on Jesus. Because Jesus is our deliverer. Obedience is not our deliverer. Yet so many, failing to recognize that Jesus gave new. Commandments, will turn their attention back to the law thinking that he is asking us to obey something He has actually done away with.

If it resembles Judaism again, Jesus Christ is not the Way, The Truth, or The Life, and we’ll all die with the same sin debt we would have had, had He not come the first time. And, peeps better get real about following Moses really speedy like. Remember what happened in the wilderness?… serpents.. tons of them. Hopefully, we’ll be okay. 😱

Upon Yeshua's return, Christianity will look a lot more like Judaism, with Messiah at the center.

@TrustJesusAlone Gotta be, cuz it’s not God’s word. 👍

@MomC3P91 TULIP T, says no TULIP is of the DEVIL

Can an Unregenerate Person Believe the Gospel? gracelife.org/resources/grac…

It’s the same word as in Genesis, but it doesn’t mean more than he breathed (or blew) on them, regardless of its use in the Septuagint, but I understand why people think it’s cool. For my part, I think ‘blew on’ is cooler, bc Jesus said the wind blows where it will, and it’s the same with the Spirit… 😅

People think the Holy Spirit was only given at Pentecost. But He wasn’t. John 20:22, “And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, ‘Receive the Holy Spirit.’” The Greek is striking—ἐνεφύσησεν (enephysēsen)—the exact same word used in the Septuagint of Genesis 2:7, “then the LORD God formed the man of dust from the ground and **breathed** into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living creature.” God has always wanted to dwell in man, not in a house made by human hands. Adam received the Spirit… but chose law instead. His death was exile—separation from God’s Spirit, in whom alone is eternal life (1 Tim 6:16). That’s why Paul calls the law the “ministry of death” and the Spirit the “ministry of life” (2 Cor 3). It’s powerful to read Adam’s sin through Romans 7:7-12. Interestingly, Romans 7:5 even says, “while we were living in the flesh…” We usually think “flesh” (sarx) just means biology, but Paul defines it differently in Galatians 3:2-3, “Did you receive the Spirit by works of the law or by hearing with faith? Are you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected by the flesh?” In Paul’s theology, flesh and law are inseparable. This is exactly why we don’t “work to please God.” We live from His acceptance demonstrated at the cross and by the gift of the Holy Spirit. The cart doesn’t pull the horse. Surrender and abide. His yoke is easy and his burden is light.

The church is full of people who have put the cart before the horse. Working to please God, instead of living from his acceptance, demonstrated at the cross and by the giving of Holy Spirit. We are changed, not by our love for God, but by HIS love for us. To think that He needs our love for Him in order to work about sanctification, amount to self worship. He needs you to surrender to Him in the secret place. In abiding is changed, not in determination.

@elonmusk No.. God alone will be all in all. Very soon. 🔜 You should make your peace through Jesus, today.. 🙂
