Bible Note: You might also want to try to explain Hebrews 8. specifically verse 13, "In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away." And also Hebrews 8:7-8 "For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second. For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah" Not to mention a new priesthood after the order od Melchisedek, not after the line of the Levites. We don't observe the Sabbath, as required by the Law, though some do have a Bible Study on Saturday, but this hardly qualifies for "keeping the Sabbath". After all, they more then like drove there which technically is "kinding a fire", which was a forbidden act on the Sabbath. And Romans 2:14-15 says, "For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves: Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;" I am a GENTILE as more then likely you are also. So why are you trying, and failing, to follow something that was never intended for us? Why don't you just admit, if you are saved, that you will never be seen by GOD as anymore righteous then HE has made you through CHRIST! You have never gotten past the idea that was addressed in Galatians about 2000 years ago. The Law being imposed on GENTILE believers. Or maybe you have, because you snapped back on the shackles of the LAW by your own efforts. What a cut above what the Galatian church wes experiencing about 2000 years ago! Wouldn't the Apostle Paul be proud!!! The TRUTH shall MAKE you FREE Luke |
