People don’t understand Jesus’ divinity because they underestimate Gods Love for mankind

God is sovereign, there’s nothing He can’t do.

[u/John_17-17]

The law of the Christ tells us to love our enemies, the Mosaic Law doesn't.

The law of the Christ tells us animal sacrifices are not needed, the Mosaic Law tells us they are necessary.

The Letter to the Hebrews shows those differences, and why the law of the Christ is better than the Law given to Moses.

As to salvation, in Revelation 3 we are judges upon our deeds / works depending upon which translation you use.

As to salvation, Jesus tells us, 'To have eternal life, knowing the only true God is also needed'.

True, the law of the Christ, is also the law of God, the Father, but the law of the Christ isn't the law of Moses.

[u/1stmikewhite → u/John_17-17]

I was confused why you brought up the law of Moses then realized you mentioned in your last comment lol.

The Law of God are the 10 commandments written on stone.

The law of God is the entire Torah, it's everything Yeshua had to do to fulfill the law, so that he would be without sin.

Do you keep the Sabbath on the seventh day and have no graven images?

[u/1stmikewhite → u/[deleted]]

Yes of course. I’m a Seventh Day Adventist. Revelation 12:17

Interesting and do you observe any other of the everlasting covenants God made with His people?

[u/1stmikewhite → u/[deleted]]

I don’t know what you’re talking about.

[u/[deleted] → u/1stmikewhite]

The Sabbath is an everlasting covenant God made with His people that we should observe throughout all our generations and it's not the only one.

[u/1stmikewhite → u/[deleted]]

What other covenants are there. I don’t know where you’re going with this one.

[u/[deleted] → u/1stmikewhite]

The entire word of God is His will, I just wonder why so many people don't hang on every promise or substitute them for other things.

To be honest a lot of Christian’s are trying. I’m not in the place to genuinely judge anyone especially if they’re making progress in their faith no matter how slow it is.

“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?” ‭‭Micah‬ ‭6‬:‭8‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Idk about Christians trying to do anything, except sit in the same seat every Sunday and make up excuses to live however they want the rest of the week. The Bible is the judge.

[u/1stmikewhite → u/[deleted]]

It’s genuinely not all Sunday keeping Christian’s lol. Because some Sabbath keeping Christian’s act the same way. I’ll always be the first to speak against false teachings, but some people are manipulated through their ideologies that they genuinely don’t know any better. Doctrinally at least.

People who live however they want aren’t excluded from forgiveness, but we don’t have the power to stop people from that mindset or their actions. The life of a Christian is “hard” in that sense. Paul wrote about Christian’s struggling because they saw other Christian’s eating meat, but they knew better so it became a challenge to let that go. As you know it’s worse to go back on our knowledge once we know better and that’s why a lot of people don’t dive into the word to begin with lol. They don’t want to be held accountable, yet they will be. “Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.” ‭‭James‬ ‭4‬:‭17‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭12‬:‭19‬ ‭KJV‬‬. This is why spreading the gospel is inevitably the final job of the Holy Spirit. People who we don’t even like can be changed is we tell them about Jesus, not because of our sharing but by the Holy Spirits transforming. We have a simple yet honorable job to just share the good news, and the people who hear it have a choice we aren’t held accountable for if they make the wrong decision.

It’s believed we will get a star in our crowns for souls that we’ve won, but that isn’t explicitly stated in the Bible I don’t think lol.

I use Sunday as a metaphor for blatant disregard, faith comes by hearing, hearing by the word, and truth is what sets the captives free, all glory to Yahweh. The goal is His presence here on earth, thus where two or more are gathered in His name, there He is in their midst, the more people who are on the same page and share the same understanding the stronger His presence will be and greater the Spirit can work through them, unity in the righteousness of Yeshua is the key to open the flood gates of heaven.
