Truth. With a twist of lemon, sugar, or a boxing glove 🥊Faith, Hope, and Love! 2 Cor. 10:3-5 🙌❤️ Solicitation not addressed. 👋

As believers, with the pull of our past patterns of life, we often feel the weight of excess burden in following Yeshua. We can sometimes mix covenants, and believe we need to “keep the commandments” or follow some variation of holiness vows in our faith walk.

The law of Moses, or Sinai itself, has nothing to do with salvation under the New Covenant. It was life under the Old Covenant, and for a different time.
From Romans 2 we can see that God’s laws were written on people’s hearts even during the Old Covenant (with Paul stating that the Gentiles displayed these concepts.. who were in that covenant known as the unbelieving), and with their consciences bearing witness to God’s truth.

And, from 1 Tim. 8 we see that the law’s purpose and intention is to expose the lawless, not to make one righteous: ‘law is for the lawless’. Believers in Christ Jesus have already been declared righteous and are therefore exempt from the law. We follow a different way, which is “by the Spirit” who gives Grace by which we’re taught. Tit. 2:12

We live under that New Covenant and better way; that is the Grace (Spirit’s leading) that came by Jesus Christ.

From John 1 we can see that “the law was given through Moses”, (which taught us up until the New Covenant as a schoolmaster) “but Grace and Truth came by Jesus Christ.”

From Hebrews 1 we can see God has spoken “in these last days” by His Son, and in Hebrews 10, the New Covenant is described as the current covenant for the people of God (those who believe in Jesus Christ), and shows the law to be a ‘shadow’ of the good things to come..

This New Covenant is “by the Spirit” of Christ (Spirit of Grace; Spirit of Truth) and is described in Hebrews 10:20 as a “new and living way” brought through the once for all sacrifice of Yeshua the Messiah. (Jesus Christ)

“By Grace you have been saved through faith…”, and ‘by that faith the just shall live.’ 🤗❤️

@RevReads289 @CatholicDrip___ Leave it to the largest religious institution ever known to claim a persecuted status. 🤦‍♀️ Anti-catholic… smh. Nvm, claiming credit for God’s Word. It’s a bit bizarre..

[Cdpmom @MomC3P91]

I believe Paul would have been appalled at the idea that all the adversity he faced was somehow His loving Father’s idea of theatre to please himself.

Calvinism makes a mockery of the Love of God that guides and comforts the faithful through everything life throws at people. 🤦‍♀️

[Cdpmom @MomC3P91]

Because they do not believe… neither in God, nor in the One He sent. This is what scripture.. no, what Jesus Himself said. They are condemned already.. right there in John 3:17-18, both paths.

“Neither is there salvation in any other for there is none other name under Heaven by which men must be saved.”

Your answers didn’t include the above… so, I suspect it was driving at they made a wrong choice, which is true according to scripture.. they’ve thought to go it alone without their creator.

Philosophical ideas about the afterlife aside, the Gospel is simple: simple faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ (death, burial, and resurrection). Then one doesn’t have to worry about being a man, woman, boy, or girl who is in hell in the afterlife, because Jesus is fully “able to save to the uttermost.”He keeps His sheep. His Grace teaches us to deny “ungodliness and live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age.”

Can I ask: do Provisionists even believe their eternal life is eternal? Everyone I’ve met, seems to think eternal doesn’t mean eternal.

No one knows about the afterlife, completely. We can’t even get the story on this life straight. It’s goofy.

“shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?”

Just doing some preaching. 😅

[Cdpmom @MomC3P91]

@johnny_jesters1 @rabbriansamuel My point there, too. God is eternal. 🤦‍♀️

[Cdpmom @MomC3P91]

Jewish? Christian? Believer? Unbeliever?

[Cdpmom @MomC3P91]

Did Abraham identify as a Jew?
He was the father of many nations.
God is the Heavenly Father of all men.
I’m curious as to why you believe God is a respecter of persons. He loves.. you do understand love in the context that it’s given in 1 Cor.?… it’s given bc of the One who gives, and not because the recipient has done anything with which to claim that Love. They might only claim it based on the love itself, and nothing else.

We “aren’t under the law”anymore, “but under Grace.”

[Cdpmom @MomC3P91]

“The Apostles and those who studied directly at there feet are not the same concept?”

No. NOT. The testimony of the apostles is the Word of God; inspired testimony “carried along by the Holy Spirit” of God (scripture) and the other is the human tradition of an entity called Rome. (Institutional tradition) They’re not even close to the same. There are many traditions of many things. We should ‘keep’ them all?

I argued for anyone questioning. But, now I take my leave.. again.👋 Col. 2:8

[Cdpmom @MomC3P91]

There are 2 different Greek words translated ‘flesh’ in the Bible. One describes the mindset of “walking by the flesh.” The other means “body of flesh.” They shouldn’t be confused. They are sarx and soma. Sarx is not us, but our old mindset. God doesn’t despise our bodies, (which are the temple of God, today) was all I pointed him to. We shouldn’t despise them either.

[Cdpmom @MomC3P91]

@TrustJesusAlone Amen.. 🙏 you have a 🤩 day!!! 🤗

[Cdpmom @MomC3P91]

@gospel4grace @DW2025X @EllaFlash Yes. One offering for all time, anchored by God’s promise to remember our sins no more. 🙂

[Cdpmom @MomC3P91]

😵‍💫 right. The apostles and your “early church fathers” garb is not the same concept. I’m done speaking further. The thread was a totally separate point, anyway. We all will answer to God for our beliefs, and we won’t get to say, “well, I was just following those guys” as if it’s some defense. I’ve overlooked your personal insults. I was speaking of practices and you were speaking personally. 👋

[Cdpmom @MomC3P91]

Church Fathers? Tell me some more how faith like a child in the only Father there is, isn’t good enough to discuss the Gospel.

It’s all about the human condition with y’all.. the saints, my ignorance.. are you serious with this??

I’ve studied ancient history, modern history, and yes some history of the church, but I couldn’t give a flying fig about some people the RCC has named ‘saint’. What creates a ‘saint’ anyway?

This conversation is about all the RCC extra curricular activities for which they need scores upon scores of teachings of the whys and wherefores. Do any of you speak of the love of God? The Word of God who died for your sins? That before you knew anything about Christ Jesus, while you were a sinner He died for you? These questions are rhetorical. I don’t wish to speak of any Church fathers.

By Sin in those moments, like everyone else today. Rom. 7:11; Js. 1:14-15

It’s possible you’re trying to say he was deceived by the woman, mb? But, Sin operated through Eve, and no one usurps a person’s will without the cooperation of the person. God doesn’t even usurp people’s wills, contrary to some teachings.

Eve was very specifically deceived by the father of lies, according to 1 Tim. But, 1 Tim. isn’t really saying that Eve was less responsible bc of deception, nor is it saying that she was more responsible bc she was an idiot. They both were completely responsible, but both tried to give themselves an out.

Adam was responsible for eating though he blamed Eve and God by proxy, and Eve was responsible, though she blamed the devil.

Jesus died for both. ✌️

It’s just a difference of how they were brought up, I believe. Have you asked any of these people to shoot you a text, or call in case you were in the middle of something? Sometimes we refrain from asking something like that because we don’t want to stir conflict.
But, resolved conflict is better than being quietly troubled.

This post is just trying to help. If anyone thinks I’m saying something else, please just file the message to trash in your brain and move on.. 🫠

[Cdpmom @MomC3P91]

It creates doubt, self-condemnation, and rejection. It actually creates the self-effort mindsets. And, I believe wholeheartedly that this is why every person struggles with that self-effort brain.. bc we all have sinned and fallen short of His glory. But, I thank God my righteousness lies in Jesus Christ and God’s promises to Him. ✌️❤️

Just sitting here wondering what to do with my faith that seems so strained for the umpteenth time..

Once again, the Holy Spirit spoke into my being that it’s not us that’s carrying the weight of our salvation. God put all the weight of His oath on the very literal, and also spiritually speaking, back of Yeshua.

It’s God’s promises toward Him (and us, in Him) that are ‘much better’ promises than those of the Old Covenant toward Israel of those days, and we have a ‘much better mediator’ than Moses.

I’ve debated with people on x about this covenant, and what it entails, bc I sometimes feel we don’t realize what we do by minimizing that Christ’s work was and is the completion of the law and prophets, and was the bringing in of ‘a new thing’.
Gentiles weren’t included in any promises of God prior to Christ’s finished work, but they’ve now ‘been brought near.’

During the Old, the promises hinged on behavior (and currently, unbelieving people find themselves subject to the law written on their consciences). In Christ, the new commands (to ‘believe’ and ‘love’) are written on our hearts.. into our very being. (this means sin doesn’t suit us) They’re different commandments and are ‘worked’ out by the Spirit of Christ within us. His Love is “poured out in our hearts.”

Christ’s resurrection and then ascension, opened the door for the Holy Spirit to draw all men, and testify of Christ. Pentecost was the point when the Holy Spirit was poured out on all flesh, and its stated this way. Jesus’ death, burial and resurrection was the signing of the New Covenant, with believing individuals being sealed by the Spirit “unto the day of redemption” at the moment of new birth.

These were those ‘born not of flesh and blood, nor of the will of man, but of God’. At no time do these ‘new creations’ ever revert back to ‘old creatures.’ Nor can a child ‘born of God’, just all of a sudden, get unborn (or born of Adam once again.) To say otherwise, would be besmirching God’s oath to His Son.

“A Psalm of David. The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.”

That’s not to say we may always have this confidence..

We ‘should’ always have it, however; or we would just end up living in the same pattern as OT Israel. (Because of Jesus’ work, this could never happen again, bc He has the power “to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him.”

Israel’s story is written for our benefit, and our admonition, so we might live truly blameless. They were unbelieving, which is why The New Covenant was enacted in the first place, according to Hebrews. Praise God it was!! 🙌❤️
