Revelation 2:17 "He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give some of the hidden manna to eat. And I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written which no one knows except him who receives it."
A Question About The Law
The following is a Q/A that I recently had with a young man. I thought that posting it might be beneficial to others as well…
(A Fellow Believer whose privacy I will respect) wrote:
I know that most churches believe that the Law was only for the old testament but if that is [...]
By the title, I’m not calling you stupid. I’m referring to myself. You’ll understand why as you read on…
Isn’t it interesting that today’s Christianity has decided that the LAW of YHWH has been done away with, and in its place is some unwritten standard that only scattered pockets of Christians agree upon? Many of these [...]
Lets consider Galatians 4:9-10:
But now after you have known God, or rather are known by God, how is it that you turn again to the weak and beggarly elements, to which you desire again to be in bondage? 10You observe days and months and seasons and years. 11I am afraid for you, lest I have [...]
Exodus 12:49 “One law shall be for the native-born and for the stranger who dwells among you.”
Numbers 15:16 “One law and one custom shall be for you and for the stranger who dwells with you.”
Numbers 15:29 “You shall have one law for him who sins unintentionally, for him who is native-born among the children of [...]
I read the story (link below) and found myself getting irritated at everyone that I could think of to blame for this moronic decision! But as I considered my position, I was struck by these thoughts; YHWH requires sexual purity. HIS Word is replete with how HIS perspective on it. America [...]
Which Law Do You Follow?
Without doing an exhaustive study, it is fairly easy to see throughout the Holy Scriptures, two laws, two standards, two basis for life;
The Law of YHWH; spoken and/or written.
The law of man; spoken and/or written.
For purposes of distinction let me suggest that the “law of man” is confirmed & established whenever [...]
This chapter is frequently used to substantiate the belief that Christians can observe any day as their Sabbath. Believers sometimes use it to legitimize eating anything or refraining from everything. It can be a confusing chapter…
The chapter is not confusing as long as we keep in mind the background, the context and the point that [...]
Matthew 22:37
How Are We To Love YHWH According To HIS Word?
Upon speaking with professing believers, and discussing the necessity of Biblical obedience, all too often we hear, “Jesus said (in Matthew 22:37) that we are just to love God and our neighbor. That has nothing to do with us having to keep HIS Commandments.”
However, upon [...]
When did “Grace” begin?
Because many have mistakenly thought that John 1:17 says that “grace began with JESUS” or “at the cross”, I offer the following list of verses from the Old Testament Scriptures, using the word “grace” (as found in the NKJV). May we be challenged in our thinking regarding HIS “grace” throughout the [...]
Why did JESUS have to address these issues? Evidently there were rumors that HE was doing away with the Law…and possibly the Prophecies of the Scriptures. Why do we have to address this question? Because the same rumors still exist.
Verse 17a “Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets”
“destroy”: Strong’s [...]
