Perhaps You Will Listen To Paul
I have never stated that we are saved by keeping His
Commandments. Yet if you loved Him, then you would
keep His Commandments (Jn 14:15). People think that
accepting Jesus then gives them the freedom to violate
Commandments every way imaginable, and they libel those
who then come along and defend His Ten Commandments
as maintaining validity. They even dare to bear false
witness against God by censoring His Second Commandment
(and by splitting His Tenth Commandment into two parts
in order to retain the original number), and so it is
no surprise that they would also bear false witness
against His true followers (people who abide by and
who defend His Commandments).
"They that have My Commandments and keep them are those
that love Me: and they that love Me shall be loved by My
Father and I will love them and will manifest Myself to
them" (Jn 14:21). "And they who keep His Commandments
abides in Him, and He abides in them. And by this we
know that He abides in us, by the Spirit which He has
given us" (1 Jn 3:24). "By this we know that we love the
children of God, when we love God and keep His
Commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep
His Commandments, and His Commandments are not grievous"
(1 Jn 5:2-3). Do as He asks so He may save you with His
Grace. And always remember, THE TRUE REMNANT CHRISTIAN
CHURCH KEEPS BOTH THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD AND THE FAITH OF JESUS (Rev
12:17 and 14:12), and since your church teaches you to violate
Commandments, then it is not God's Church.
"And by this we may be sure that we have come to know
Him, if we keep His Commandments. Whoever says, 'I know
Him,' and disobeys His Commandments is a liar and the
truth is not in that person; but whoever keeps His Word,
in that person the love of God has truly been perfected.
By this we may be sure that we are in Him: they who say
they abide in Him ought to walk in the same way in which
He walked" (1 Jn 2:3-6).
Jesus said, "If you keep My Commandments you will abide
in My love, just as I have kept My Father's Commandments
and abide in His love" (Jn 15:10). Jesus said, "If you
love Me, keep My Commandments" (Jn 14:15). For the sake
of your tradition you make void the Commandments of God
(Matt 15:3, 6).
If you won't listen to Jesus then perhaps you'll listen
to Paul: he said that by the Law is there knowledge of
sin (Rom 3:20; 7:7), that the Law is a delight (Rom 7:22),
and is holy, just and good (Rom 7:12). "Do we then make
void the Law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish
the Law" (Rom 3:31). Doink many good works and wearing
ties and short hair still dothn't allow one to go out and
break God's Laws. Being a holy-holy reverend minister in
a mainstream church doth not make the person exempt, on
the contrary, these false teachers will be judged more
harshly (Jas 3:1). Their wor****p is in vain (Mt 15:9;
Mk 7:7) so let those who teach a different gospel be
accursed (Gal 1:6-9). In that we are saved by faith rather
than by works doesn't give us license to violate the Law,
nor does this give us license to teach others to ignore
and violate It. Breaking the Law is sin and the wages of
sin is death (Rom 6:23).
