"The one who says he stays in Him is indebted to walk, even as He walked." 1Jn 2:6
Without Torah, His walk is impossible - it's Rome's walk without Torah.
One of my favorite verses! Just read Deuteronomy 29-32, the song of Moses...32:4 He is the Rock, His work is perfect; for ALL His ways are judgment; a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is He!
Was thinking about what parts of the Law had not yet been "fulfilled", to try and convince those who think it has been all fulfilled and therefore put away, even though Jesus said NOT to think that way! In my view, it will not be "fulfilled" until ALL are keeping it! Of course, it will not return to Him void...or not fulfilling all that He sent it out to do! But, He scattered His people all over the face of the earth and we are still learning our lessons! May our repentance come swiftly and surely.
Churchianity is what many alleged Christians follow. Their bitter fruit has brought severe judgments
that are only beginning to play out.
How about a definition of sin?
It began with Adam.
Eve was deceived.
When Adam was confronted by Yahweh, Adam said nothing about a snake.
Adam immediately made false accusation against Yahweh and the beautiful Woman Yahweh gave to Adam.
False witness is a sin, and revealed Adam's murderous intent/thought/action towards Yahweh.
Adam's genetic code recorded Adam's intent & actions.
Cain inherited that. And when Yahweh warned Cain to drop his anger;
Cain chose to do what He wanted to do, just as Adam rejected Yahweh as King {murdered Yahweh mentally].
All the sons of Adam inherited this genetic trait;
And that was fully exposed when men murdered the Perfect Man, YahvehShua.
And this trait to reject Yahweh and do what we want must be overcome.
Those who over come it, are called overcomers;
And inherit all the Blessings mentioned in Revelation chapter 2 & 3.
The other families of Earth did not inherit that trait till Cain went into the world.
In my own case, I was working & was about to make a dangerous move. A little voice told me what to do.
I rejected the warning saying "I can do this"; And I succeeded in breaking my arm
This is pretty profound, Ivan!
Sorry to hear about your broken arm, by the way!
So many voices aren't there? This seems to be the challenge. Hearing God's voice....and then, of course, obeying it after we come into agreement with His good, perfect and pleasing will...and Plan.
So, the answer seems to be conforming our wills and becoming one with our Father, as YahShua prayed and gave example for us! Thanks for giving me a new way of looking at this.
