Are you a REAL Christian? The Christianity of the new testament doesn't exist There was only one person in the entire Bible (Torah) that did everything correctly you proclaim to follow Him however you live and do the opposite. He said if you love me keep my commandments, but you don't Christ said: If you want to enter life, keep the commandments.” …Matthew 19:16 God cannot stand the prayers of anyone who disobeys his Law. Proverbs 28:9 If God's laws mean nothing to you You mean nothing to God But I will reply, ‘I never knew you. Get away from me, you who break God’s laws.’Matthew 7:23 All Israel will be saved If you do the things God hates and refuse to keep His commandments, you will receive the mark of the beast (Your Father the Devil) not the mark of God. “Shout with the voice of a trumpet blast. Shout aloud! Don’t be timid. Tell my people Israel of their sins! Isaiah 58:1 Yeshua is Our Advocate …3By this we can be sure that we have come to know Him: if we keep His commandments. 4If anyone says, “I know Him,” but does not keep His commandments, he is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 5But if anyone keeps His word, the love of God has been truly perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him:… Christianity the New Religion The Final Takeaway Yeshua didn't leave behind a selective checklist where people get to pick and choose which laws to follow. He left a narrow path. This test leaves absolutely no room for casual religion or intellectual debates. Yeshua didn't leave behind a philosophy to be discussed; He left a narrow path to be walked. If the answers point to a life of compromise, it isn't a cue to just feel guilty or give up—it is a direct, urgent call to repent. It means turning away from the ways of the world, picking up the truth of the Torah that Yeshua lived out, and making the firm decision to let your hands, your mind, and your daily life reflect the Master you claim to follow. If people claim to belong to Him but they refuse to live as He lived, keep what He kept, and honor the Torah the way He did, they are practicing lawlessness. True faith is not found in the empty rituals of those who rewrite His words—it is found in literal, active obedience to the Master. According to the New Testament, merely claiming to a Christian and follow the Messiah is not the same as actually following Him. Yeshua said : "And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?" (Luke 6:46) And: "If ye love me, keep my commandments." (John 14:15) The apostle John wrote: "And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him." (1 John 2:3–4) From this perspective, a person who continually refuses to follow the Messiah's teachings while professing faith creates a contradiction between their profession and their actions. However, many Christians would distinguish between: A believer who struggles with sin but desires to obey God and repents when they fail. A person who knowingly rejects God's commands and has no intention of obeying them. The New Testament repeatedly calls believers to repentance, faith, and obedience, while also recognizing that believers are not sinless and may stumble (1 John 1:8–9). So, if someone completely refuses to follow the Messiah and His commandments, many would argue that Scripture calls into question whether that person's profession of faith is genuine. Passages such as Matthew 7:21–23, Luke 6:46, and 1 John 2:3–4 are often cited in that discussion. The core biblical test is not what a person calls themselves, but whether their life shows faith expressed through obedience to God. How to Find Out Which Religion Is Right (It’s Easier Than You Think) Our Lord again reminds us that the manifestation of our love for Him will be in our obedience to His commands. Keeping Christ's commandments is and always has been the best test of our love for Yeshua Children of God Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.” And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws. Ezekiel 36:27 This is how we know that we live in him and he in us: He has given us of his Spirit. 1 John 4:1 And For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God. Romans 8:1 1 See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him. 2 Beloved, we are God’s children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared; but we know that when he appears we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he is. 3 And everyone who thus hopes in him purifies himself as he is pure. 4 Everyone who makes a practice of sinning also practices lawlessness; sin is lawlessness. 5 You know that he appeared in order to take away sins, and in him, there is no sin. 6 No one who abides in him keeps on sinning; no one who keeps on sinning has either seen him or known him. 7 Little children, let no one deceive you. Whoever practices righteousness is righteous, as he is righteous. 8 Whoever makes a practice of sinning is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil. 9 No one born of God makes a practice of sinning, for God’s seed abides in him; and he cannot keep on sinning, because he has been born of God. 10 By this it is evident who are the children of God, and who are the children of the devil: whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is the one who does not love his brother. brother. My old self has been crucified with Christ. It is no longer me who lives, but Christ lives in me. So I live in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. Galatians 2:20 God's seal is not a physical mark The forehead represents the mind of those who make a conscious decision to obey God's requirements to receive His seal will protect us from the last seven plagues. The Mark of God is a sign of obedience between God and His faithful Thus the Sabbath is the sign of a relationship between God and His people, serving as "a test of their loyalty to Him" Yeshua is the LORD of the Sabbath, not Sunday and they get the Mark of God will escape the plages. We are sealed by the Holy Spirit. Is a characteristic of people who have surrendered their lives to God God's seal is in His laws. Bind up the testimonies and seal the law among my disciples. God's sign is His seal, the words sing and seal are interchangeable in the bible. The Sabbath is God's sign, The Sabbath is the seventh day of the week. The fourth commandment is to remember the Sabbath. There is not one scripture in the entire Bible changing the Sabbath to Sunday. Its a sign of God's authority He chose the day. There are three elements to a legal seal, The seal giver His title His territory The Great Commission The Great Commission is Jesus's final instruction to his disciples before his ascension, found in Matthew 28:19-20. The passage says, "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." This is not just a suggestion, but a command for all who follow Him. Why It Is Considered a Sin A Command, Not a Suggestion: The Bible frames this as a clear directive. A sin is defined as "missing the mark" or an act of disobedience against God's will. Willfully ignoring a direct command from Jesus is therefore considered a sinful act. The Nature of a Disciple: In Christian belief, a true disciple isn't just a follower, but a learner and a reproducer. The biblical understanding is that a disciple of Jesus should naturally want to share their faith and help others become disciples, just as they were discipled. A Christian who has no desire to make disciples may be demonstrating a lack of genuine conversion or a spiritual selfishness that is contrary to the self-sacrificial nature of Christ. Sins of Omission: The Bible teaches that sin isn't only about doing something wrong (sins of commission) but also about failing to do something you know you should do (sins of omission). Not making disciples falls squarely into this category. It's an act of neglecting a divinely ordained responsibility. While a Christian's salvation isn't based on their ability to make disciples, their obedience to this command is seen as evidence of their faith and love for God and others. For many, a failure to engage in this work points to a deeper spiritual issue, such as fear, a lack of trust in God's power, or a love for oneself more than for others. There is now one single law that rules both Jew and Greek alike: The law of faith (Romans 3:27) The law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:2) The law of Christ = love God and love your neighbor, fulfilled by the Spirit (Galatians 5:14; 6:2; Romans 13:8–10) One God. One Messiah. One gospel. One law for Jews and Greeks: faith in the crucified and risen Jesus. That is why Paul can say in the very next breath after “neither Jew nor Greek”: “You are all one in Christ Jesus. And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s offspring, heirs according to the promise” (Galatians 3:28–29). Same promise. Same inheritance. Same law. No exceptions. No special tracks.

The one who belongs listens and responds to Yehovah's words. If you don't listen and respond, it is because you don't belong to Yehovah." John 8:47 True and False Conversations El que pertenece escucha y responde las palabras de Yehovah. Si no escuchas y respondes , es porque no sois de Yehovah". Juan 8:47 Fieles son los decretos de Yehovah, que hacen sabio al sencillo. Los mandamientos de Yehovah son rectos, que alegran el corazón. Los mandamientos de Yehovah son claros, dando entendimiento para vivir. La reverencia a Yehovah es pura y dura para siempre. Las leyes de Yehovah son verdaderas; cada uno es justo. Son más deseables que el oro, incluso el oro más fino. Son más dulces que la miel, incluso la miel que gotea del panal. Son una amonestación para tu siervo, una gran recompensa para los que las obedecen. Salmo 19:7

Notice that following repentance is the remission of sins, which baptism signifies, symbolically dying to sin and resurrection to a new life. The only way you can enter the Kingdom of God is by being born again, thru repentance and baptism. Baptism/The Holy Spirit Bautismo/El Espíritu Santo Nótese que después del arrepentimiento viene la remisión de los pecados, lo cual significa el bautismo, simbólicamente la muerte al pecado y la resurrección a una nueva vida. La única forma de entrar al Reino de Dios es naciendo de nuevo, a través del arrepentimiento y el bautismo. Cuando una persona sale del agua, todos sus pecados son quitados y recibe el don del Espíritu Santo. Él te enseñará y te ayudará a seguir la ley de Dios. Los siguientes versos te prueban no puede recibir el espíritu a menos que esté verdaderamente arrepentido, deje de pecar y regrese a la Torá de Yehovah. El pecado es transgresión de la ley. Juan 3:5 “De cierto, de cierto os digo, que el que no naciere de nuevo, no puede ver el reino de Dios.” 4 Nicodemo le dijo: “¿Cómo puede un hombre nacer siendo viejo? ¿Podrá entrar por segunda vez en el vientre de su madre y nacer?” 5 Yeshua respondió: “De cierto, de cierto os digo, que el que no naciere de agua y del Espíritu, no puede entrar en el reino de Dios. 6 Lo que nace de la carne, carne es, y lo que nace del Espíritu, espíritu es. 7 No te maravilles de que te dije: 'Tienes que nacer de nuevo.' 8 El viento sopla de donde quiere, y oyes su sonido, pero no sabes de dónde viene ni adónde va. Así es con todo aquel que es nacido del Espíritu.” Mateo 3:1 En aquellos días vino Juan el Bautista predicando en el desierto de Judea 2 diciendo: “Arrepentíos, porque el reino de los cielos está cerca”. Juan 3:22 Después de estas cosas, Jesús y sus discípulos llegaron a la tierra de Judea, y allí estaba con ellos y bautizando. 23 Juan también estaba bautizando en Aenon cerca de Salim, porque allí había mucha agua; y la gente que venimos y estamos siendo bautizados— Mateo 4:17 Desde entonces Yeshua comenzó a predicar: “Arrepentíos, porque el reino de los cielos está cerca”. Hechos 2:37 Cuando la gente oyó esto, se compungieron de corazón y preguntaron a Pedro y a los demás apóstoles: Hermanos, ¿qué haremos? 38 Pedro respondió: “Arrepentíos y bautícese cada uno de vosotros en el nombre de Yeshua Mashíaj para perdón de vuestros pecados, y recibiréis el don del Espíritu Santo. 39 Esta promesa os pertenece a vosotros, a vuestros hijos y a todos los que están lejos, a todos los que Yehovah nuestro Elohim llamará. …40 Con muchas otras palabras testificaba, y les exhortaba: “Sed salvos de esta generación corrupta”. 41 Los que abrazaron su mensaje fueron bautizados, y como tres mil se agregaron a los creyentes ese día. 47 Alabando a Dios y gozando del favor de todo el pueblo. Y Yehovah añadía cada día a su número a los que iban siendo salvos. Asimismo, Pablo enseña a los hombres de Atenas: Hechos 17:30 En verdad, Dios pasó por alto estos tiempos de ignorancia, pero ahora manda a todos los hombres en todo lugar, que se arrepientan, porque ha señalado un día en el cual juzgará al mundo con justicia por aquel Varón a quien ha ordenado. Él ha dado seguridad de esto a todos al resucitarlo de entre los muertos. Mateo 3:16 Cuando fue bautizado, Yeshua subió luego del agua; y he aquí, los cielos le fueron abiertos, y vio al Espíritu de Dios que descendía como paloma y venía sobre él. 17 Y de repente vino una voz del cielo que decía: “Este es mi Hijo amado, en quien tengo complacencia”. Marcos 1:15 Las palabras de Yeshua vienen en forma de un mandato urgente: "El tiempo se ha cumplido, y el reino de Dios se ha acercado. Arrepentíos, y creed en el evangelio". Cristo no sólo viene a anunciar la próxima venida del Reino de Dios, en particular a aquellos a quienes Dios llama (Juan 6:44), sino también a preparar a los elegidos para sus responsabilidades espirituales ahora y en el Reino. El Espíritu Santo recibido en Éfeso Hechos 19:4 Pablo explicó: “El bautismo de Juan fue un bautismo de arrepentimiento. Le dijo a la gente que creyera en el que vendría después de él, es decir, en Yeshua”. 5 Al oír esto, fueron bautizados en el nombre de Yeshúa Mesías. 6 Y habiéndoles impuesto Pablo las manos, descendió sobre ellos el Espíritu Santo, y hablaban en lenguas y profetizaban... Bautismo de Saulo Hechos 9:15 Pero el Señor le dijo: ¡Ve! Porque este hombre es mi instrumento elegido para llevar mi nombre a los gentiles, a los reyes y a los israelitas. 16 ¡Le mostraré cuánto debe sufrir por mi nombre!” 17 Entonces Ananías se fue y entró en la casa. Entonces le puso las manos encima y le dijo: “Hermano Saúl, el Señor Yeshua, que se te apareció en el camino por el que ibas, me ha enviado para que recobres la vista y seas lleno del Espíritu Santo”18. una vez le cayeron de los ojos algo como escamas, y recuperó la vista. Luego se levantó y fue bautizado. 19 Y después de comer algo, recobró sus fuerzas. Felipe y el eunuco etíope Hechos: 8:34 Y el eunuco dijo a Felipe: ¿De quién, te pregunto, dice esto el profeta, de sí mismo o de algún otro? 35 Entonces Felipe abrió su boca, y comenzando con esta Escritura le anunció las buenas nuevas acerca de Yeshua. 36 Y mientras iban por el camino llegaron a un poco de agua, y el eunuco dijo: “¡Mira, aquí hay agua! ¿Qué me impide ser bautizado?” 38 Y mandó detener el carro, y descendieron ambos al agua, Felipe y el eunuco, y lo bautizó. 39 Y cuando subieron del agua, el Espíritu del Señor se llevó a Felipe, y el eunuco no lo vio más, y siguió su camino gozoso. 40 Pero Felipe se encontró en Azoto, y pasando, predicaba el evangelio en todas las ciudades, hasta que llegó a Cesarea.

Because of the multiplication of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold. 13 But the one who perseveres to the end will be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come. ¡Todos seremos juzgados! La mayoría de la gente nunca ha oído hablar de este versículo... Mateo 24:12 Por la multiplicación de la maldad, el amor de la mayoría se enfriará. 13 Pero el que persevere hasta el fin, se salvará. 14 Y será predicado este evangelio del reino en todo el mundo, para testimonio a todas las naciones; y entonces vendrá el fin.… Santiago 1:12 Bienaventurado el varón que permanece firme bajo la prueba, porque cuando haya pasado la prueba, recibirá la corona de la vida, que Dios ha prometido a los que le aman. Yehovah define el amor como guardar Sus mandamientos, todos ellos. Envió a su Hijo para enseñárnoslas y vivirlas como ejemplo para nosotros. Los cristianos modernos están bajo la falsa suposición de que los mandamientos son solo para que los judíos los sigan. Parecen olvidar que su Jesús (Yeshua) es judío. Acts: 17:30 “Dios pasó por alto la ignorancia de la gente acerca de estas cosas en tiempos pasados, pero ahora manda a todos en todas partes que se arrepientan de sus pecados y se vuelvan a él. Juan 14:15 Si me amáis, guardaréis mis mandamientos. Parece haber una suposición de que Yehovah pasará por alto todas nuestras indiscreciones porque “Él conoce mi corazón”, el problema es que Él conoce nuestro corazón y los llama engañosos y enfermos. Hay 12 versos sobre los corazones malvados. Jeremías 17:9 "El corazón es más engañoso que todo lo demás y está desesperadamente enfermo; ¿quién podrá entenderlo? Los siguientes versículos confirman que nadie nos puede arrebatar de las manos de Yeshua, sin embargo podemos darle la espalda y alejarnos. Lo demostramos cuando dejamos de guardar los mandamientos de Yehovah. Juan 10: 27 Mis ovejas escuchan mi voz; Yo las conozco y ellas me siguen. 28 Yo les doy vida eterna, y no perecerán jamás. Nadie puede arrebatármelas de Mi mano. 29 Mi Padre que me las ha dado, es mayor que todos. nadie las puede arrebatar de la mano de mi Padre… Isaías 1:17 Aprende a hacer el bien; Busca la justicia, reprende al despiadado, defiende al huérfano, aboga por la viuda. 18 "Venid ahora, y razonemos juntos", dice el SEÑOR: "Aunque vuestros pecados sean como la grana, como la nieve serán emblanquecidos; aunque sean rojos como el carmesí, serán como lana. 19 "Si consientes. y obedecer, tu comerá lo mejor de la tierra; Que la carrera no es para los rápidos o fuertes, sino para los que perseveran hasta el final Hay alrededor de 90 versos sobre perseverar hasta el final. La Escritura es muy clara, debemos tener un corazón obediente y perseverar hasta el final para asegurar la salvación. Todos los versículos restantes confirman que debemos resistir, permanecer firmes, pelear la buena batalla hasta que no podamos pelear más para ser salvos. 1 Corintios 15:58 Así que, hermanos míos amados, estad firmes y constantes, creciendo en la obra del Señor siempre, sabiendo que vuestro trabajo en el Señor no es en vano. Marcos 13:13 Y seréis aborrecidos de todos por causa de mi nombre. Pero el que persevere hasta el fin, se salvará. Hebreos 10:36 Porque os es necesaria la perseverancia, para que habiendo hecho la voluntad de Dios, recibáis lo prometido. 2 Timoteo 4:7 He peleado la buena batalla, he terminado la carrera, he guardado la fe. Filipenses 1:6 Y estoy seguro de esto, que el que comenzó en vosotros la buena obra, la perfeccionará hasta el día de Yeshua. Apocalipsis 3:5 El que venciere será vestido así de vestiduras blancas, y nunca borraré su nombre del libro de la vida. Confesaré su nombre delante de mi Padre y delante de sus ángeles. Apocalipsis 3:11 Yo vengo pronto. Retén lo que tienes, para que nadie se apodere de tu corona. 2 Timoteo 2:12 Si perseveramos, también reinaremos con él; si le negamos, él también nos negará; Apocalipsis 21:7 El que venciere tendrá esta herencia, y yo seré su Dios y él será mi hijo. Apocalipsis 3:21 Al que venciere, le daré que se siente conmigo en mi trono, como yo también vencí y me senté con mi Padre en su trono. Romanos 2:7 A los que por la perseverancia en hacer el bien buscan gloria y honra e inmortalidad, él les dará vida eterna; Apocalipsis 2:25-28 Sólo retén lo que tienes hasta que yo venga. Al que venciere y guardare mis obras hasta el fin, le daré autoridad sobre las naciones, y las regirá con vara de hierro, como cuando se desmenuzan vasijas de barro, así como yo mismo he recibido autoridad de mi Padre. Y le daré las estrellas de la mañana. Apocalipsis 3:12 Al que venciere, lo haré columna en el templo de mi Dios. Nunca saldrá de ella, y escribiré sobre él el nombre de mi Dios, y el nombre de la ciudad de mi Dios, la nueva Jerusalén, que desciende del cielo de mi Dios, y mi propio nombre nuevo. Hebreos 12:5-7 ¿Y habéis olvidado la exhortación que os dirige como a hijos? “Hijo mío, no tomes a la ligera la disciplina del Señor, ni te canses cuando te reprenda. Porque el Señor disciplina al que ama, y azota a todo el que recibe por hijo”. Es por la disciplina que tienes que soportar. Dios los está tratando como hijos. Porque ¿qué hijo hay a quien su padre no disciplina? ¿Qué es el pecado? video

God only gives His Spirit to those who keep His commandments Narrow way Living in the Spirit Those controlled by the flesh cannot please God. 9 You, however, are controlled not by the flesh, but by the Spirit, if the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ. 10But if Christ is in you, your body is dead because of sin, yet your spirit is alive because of righteousness.… Romans 8:9 which states that God gives the Holy Spirit to those who obey Him. This principle emphasizes that a willing, obedient heart is a key condition for receiving and experiencing the empowering presence of the Spirit. Acts 5:32, But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his." Here is a clear Yes/No self-assessment to help determine if you are currently walking in the Spirit (according to the Bible — Galatians 5:16-25, Romans 8:5-14). “Am I Walking in the Spirit?” Test Answer Yes or No honestly to each: create a test 1 John 3:4 (KJV), the verse reads: "Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law." Answer Yes or No honestly to each question to examine your heart. The "Walking in the Spirit" Deep Reflection Test Spiritual Deafness: When Scripture or a sermon convicts me of a specific change I need to make, do I listen and act immediately, rather than tuning it out or making excuses to justify myself? The Internal Battle: When I am tempted to break one of God’s commandments (in my thoughts, words, or actions), do I feel an immediate, sharp internal friction from the Holy Spirit urging me to stop? Worship in Spirit: Is my private devotion—when absolutely nobody else is looking or listening—just as earnest, real, and passionate as my public religious behavior? Spiritual Blindness : Am I quick to notice and convict myself of my own hidden sins (like pride, resentment, or greed), rather than just pointing out the obvious sins of the world around me? The Still, Small Voice: In the middle of a busy day or a stressful situation, am I quiet enough to hear and recognize the Holy Spirit's promptings regarding my attitude or speech? Keeping His Commandments: Do I view God's laws as a joyful path of protection and fellowship that I want to keep, rather than a heavy burden I have to drag around? The Internal Reality: When someone wrongs or provokes me, do I actively rely on the Spirit to change my internal feelings toward them, rather than just forcing a fake smile on the outside? Recognizing the Blindspot: Am I genuinely willing to ask God to show me the faults in my character that I am currently blind to, and am I ready to change if He reveals them? Ritual vs. Spirit: If all religious structure, services, and routines were stripped away today, would my personal, daily walk and communication with God remain completely intact? Hardening the Heart: Am I aware of any area where I have repeatedly ignored God's warnings to the point where my conscience no longer bothers me about it? "Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion." — Hebrews 3:15 "Son of man, you are living among a rebellious people. They have eyes to see but do not see and ears to hear but do not hear, for they are a rebellious people." — Ezekiel 12:2 "God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth." — John 4:24 Reflecting on Your Answers Mostly "Yes": This indicates an active, living connection where your spiritual senses are sharp. Your ears are open to His voice, you are fighting the internal battle to keep His commandments, and you are operating from a place of true, spiritual reality. Several "No" Answers (especially on Questions 1, 5, and 10): This is a warning sign of spiritual deafness. When we repeatedly ignore the promptings of the Spirit or turn a deaf ear to God's laws, our hearts naturally begin to harden, and His voice becomes harder to discern. If you are struggling to hear Him, it is a direct call to clear away the noise, stop resisting, and pray: "Lord, take away my stubbornness, open my ears, and give me a heart that hears and obeys." Key Bible Truth: “Walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh … Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.” (Galatians 5:16, 25) True life in the Spirit is marked by freedom, fruit, and dependence on God — not perfection, but direction. A key verse is Romans 8:9: "But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his." Other verses about having the Spirit of God: Other verses about having the Spirit of God: 2 Corinthians 13:5 "Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith... Know ye not your own selves, how that Yeshua Messiah is in you, except ye be reprobates?" Galatians 4:6 "And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father." 1 Corinthians 3:16 "Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?" 1 Corinthians 6:19 "What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you ...?" Ephesians 1:13 "After that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise." 1 John 3:24 "And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us. " 1 John 4:13 "Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit." According to Scripture, the presence of God's Spirit is evidenced by faith in Messiah, obedience to God, and a transformed life: "And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments." (1 John 2:3) "If ye love me, keep my commandments." (John 14:15) "And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us." (1 John 3:24) 1 . The Mindset: What Governs Your Thoughts? The primary difference starts in the mind. Romans 8:5 states, "For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit." In the Flesh: A person is trapped in their own perspective. When a trial hits, their immediate reaction comes from human instinct—fear, anger, retaliation, or self-pity. In the Spirit: A person's mind is anchored in divine truth. When the same trial hits, they pause, lean on the Spirit, and recall the commandments of God, responding with humility, truth, and faith. "In the Spirit" vs. "In the Flesh" : This refers to a fundamental shift in a believer's identity. Being in the flesh represents our old, unredeemed nature, while being in the Spirit means our lives are governed and empowered by the Holy Spirit. [1, 2] T he Indwelling Spirit: The presence of the Holy Spirit inside a believer is the defining mark of true faith. Paul uses it as proof that an individual truly belongs to Christ. [1, 2, 3] The "Spirit of Christ": Paul interchangeably uses "Spirit of God" and "Spirit of Christ," emphasizing the divine nature of the Holy Spirit and the intimate connection between the believer and Yeshua Christ. [1, 2, 3] "In the Spirit" vs. "In the Flesh": This refers to a fundamental shift in a believer's identity. Being in the flesh represents our old, unredeemed nature, while being in the Spirit means our lives are governed and empowered by the Holy Spirit. The Indwelling Spirit: The presence of the Holy Spirit inside a believer is the defining mark of true faith. Paul uses it as proof that an individual truly belongs to Christ.The "Spirit of Christ" : Paul interchangeably uses "Spirit of God" and "Spirit of Christ," emphasizing the divine nature of the Holy Spirit and the intimate connection between the believer and Jesus Christ. 2. The Battle Over the Commandments Your response to God's instructions immediately reveals which realm you are operating in. "For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God's law; indeed, it cannot. Those who are in the flesh cannot please God." — Romans 8:7-8 The Flesh Rejects: Because the flesh wants to be its own god, it views the commandments as a restrictive burden. It rationalizes compromise, creates excuses, and ultimately rejects the truth. The Spirit Accepts: The Spirit gives us the supernatural ability to understand and love the commandments. It breaks the power of the flesh so that obedience isn't a legalistic chore, but a natural expression of our identity in Yeshua. The Sovereign Distinction: You cannot serve both. Walking in the flesh is relying on your own human strength and desires, which cuts a person off from salvation. Walking in the Spirit means surrendering your will to the truth of Yeshua, allowing His Spirit to produce real, righteous life within you. When Yeshua laid down this standard in John 4, He was radically redefining what it means to connect with the Almighty, breaking it down into two inseparable pillars. 1. Worshiping "In Spirit" (The Internal Reality) Worshiping "in spirit" means that your worship originates from the innermost core of your human spirit, energized and led by the Holy Spirit. Bypassing the Physical: Before Yeshua, people believed worship was tied to a physical location (like the Temple in Jerusalem or Mount Gerizim) or specific physical rituals (sacrifices, incense, holy garments). Yeshua explained that because God is Spirit, He cannot be confined to a building or moved by empty, outward motions. Heart Over Performance: It means your heart is actually in it. You can sing the songs, read the scriptures, and say the prayers, but if your mind is wandering or your heart is cold, it is just a fleshly performance. Worshipping in spirit means your inner being is actively alive and connected to God. 2. Worshiping "In Truth" (The Doctrinal Reality) Worshiping "in truth" means your worship is firmly anchored in God's absolute reality, His Word, and His commandments. Alinged with Reality: You cannot worship God based on a version of Him you made up in your own mind. It must be based on who He actually is as revealed in scripture . The Blueprint of Salvation: As noted previously, truth is non-negotiable—without truth, there is no salvation. Worshiping in truth means accepting God's standard of righteousness, acknowledging the reality of sin, and recognizing Yeshua as the only true way to the Father. It leaves no room for falsehood, self-delusion, or compromise. The Side-by-Side Balance Genuineness only happens when both elements are operating together perfectly. One without the other creates a dangerous imbalance. In Spirit (Without Truth)In Truth (Without Spirit)In Spirit AND In Truth Pure Emotion: Excitement, feelings, and high energy, but lacks a scriptural foundation. It easily drifts into false doctrine because it relies on "how I feel" rather than what is true.Dead Religion: Correct theology, strict rules, and flawless structure, but cold, rigid, and heartless. It results in a Pharisee-like walk that has the form of godliness but denies its power .True Worship: A vibrant, sincere heart that is deeply in love with God, backed by an uncompromising commitment to His absolute Word and commandments. Summary: To worship genuinely is to bring your whole heart (spirit) into perfect alignment with God's reality (truth). It is a walk where your inner thoughts, your public actions, and your obedience to the commandments all match up perfectly before the eyes of the Fathe r. Spiritual Blindness: Inability to See: Just as physical blindness prevents someone from seeing the physical world, spiritual blindness prevents individuals from "seeing" or discerning spiritual truths . This can manifest as: Lack of Understanding : Difficulty grasping theological concepts, biblical teachings, or the nature of God. Failure to Recognize God's Presence: Not perceiving God's activity in the world or in their own lives. Misinterpretation of Reality: Viewing life solely through a material or secular lens, without recognizing a spiritual dimension. Inability to See Their Own Sinfulness: Being unaware of their moral shortcomings or their need for redemption. R ejection of Spiritual Evidence: Dismissing or ignoring signs and experiences that might point towards a spiritual reality. Causes: Spiritual blindness can be attributed to various factors, including: Sin and Unbelief : A hardened heart due to persistent sin or a refusal to believe in God. Worldly Distractions: Being consumed by material possessions, worldly desires, and the cares of this life. Pride and Intellectual Obstacles: Relying solely on human reason and rejecting the need for divine revelation. Deception: Being misled by false teachings or ideologies. Spiritual Opposition : Some theological perspectives suggest that Satan or other spiritual forces actively work to blind people to the truth. (2 Corinthians 4:4) 2 Corinthians 4:4 states that the "god of this age" (Satan) has blinded the minds of unbelievers so they cannot see the light of the gospel. This spiritual blindness keeps people from perceiving the glory of Christ, who is the exact image of God. Spiritual Deafness: Inability to Hear: Similar to physical deafness, spiritual deafness describes an inability or unwillingness to "hear" or heed spiritual messages. This can involve: Ignoring God's Word: Not paying attention to or disregarding scripture, sermons, or other forms of spiritual communication. Resisting the Holy Spirit's Promptings: Ignoring inner convictions or nudges towards righteousness. Being Unresponsive to God's Call: Not recognizing or heeding God's invitations to faith and relationship. Preferring Other Voices: Being more attuned to worldly opinions or desires than to spiritual guidance. Lack of Discernment : Difficulty distinguishing between true and false spiritual teachings. Causes: Similar to spiritual blindness, spiritual deafness can stem from: Sin and Rebellion: A stubborn and disobedient heart that refuses to listen to God. Preoccupation with the World: Being too busy or focused on worldly matters to hear God's voice. Skepticism and Doubt: A closed mind that is unwilling to accept spiritual truths. Hardened Heart: A heart that has become Calloused and resistant to God's influence. Spiritual Opposition: Again, some believe that external spiritual forces can hinder people from hearing God's voice. Interconnections: Spiritual blindness and deafness are often interconnected. If someone cannot "see" spiritual truth, they are less likely to "hear" and respond to it. Conversely, if someone refuses to "hear" spiritual messages, their understanding and "sight" can become clouded. Overcoming Spiritual Blindness and Deafness: Christian theology emphasizes that spiritual blindness and deafness can be overcome through: God's Grace: Ultimately, it is God's initiative and grace that opens eyes and ears to spiritual truth. Faith in Yeshua messiah: Believing in Yeshua and accepting his sacrifice is seen as the key to spiritual healing. The Work of the Holy Spirit: The Holy Spirit is believed to illuminate the mind and open the heart to understand spiritual realities. Prayer: Seeking God's help to see and hear. Study of Scripture: Engaging with the Bible to learn about God and his ways. Fellowship with Believers: Being part of a community of faith that can offer support and encouragement. Repentance and Obedience: Turning away from sin and living in accordance with God's will. Whoever keeps His commandments remains in God, and God in him. And by this we know that He remains in us: by the Spirit He has given us. In summary, spiritual blindness and deafness represent a significant barrier to experiencing and understanding the spiritual realm and one's relationship with God. They are conditions that, according to Christian belief, require divine intervention and a willing heart to overcome. To all who are weary of the heavy burdens of the world and the confusion of the Broad Way: You are cordially invited to enter the Kingdom of God. The King of the Universe, Yehovah, has not left you to wander without a map. He has provided His Torah—His perfect instruction—to act as the light for your feet and the guardrail for your life. While the world offers a wide road of "do as you please," the Father invites you to the Narrow Path, where true freedom and lasting peace are found. Romans 8:16 "The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God." The Meaning: God’s Holy Spirit connects directly with the human spirit to give internal assurance of salvation. 1 Corinthians 2:11 "For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God." The Meaning: Just as your own deep thoughts are only known by your personal consciousness (your spirit), the deep things of God can only be revealed by the Holy Spirit. Worshiping in Spirit and Truth This is one of the most famous statements made by Yeshua regarding the nature of true worship. John 4:24 "God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth." (NKJV) The Meaning: Because God is not a physical being confined to a physical temple, true worship must happen in the spiritual realm—sincerely from the human heart—rather than just through external rituals. Testing the Spirits In the Epistles, believers are warned that not everything claiming to be spiritual is from God. 1 John 4:1 "Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world." (NKJV) The Meaning: A warning to evaluate the teaching, motive, and supernatural backing behind any spiritual message. Testing the Spirit: The Scriptural Protocol In the modern religious world, people confuse "the Spirit" with an emotional vibe, a subjective feeling, or a goosebump experience during a worship service. They hear someone speak with passion, perform a sign, or claim a direct revelation from God, and they automatically assume it is from the Almighty. But the Scripture issues a strict, legal mandate to audit and cross-examine every spiritual claim. The Apostle John gives a direct commanding order: "Test the spirits." The Confrontation: "You are completely unguarded if you swallow every teaching, every prophecy, and every emotional experience just because someone uses the name of Jesus. The spiritual realm is filled with counterfeits designed to mimic holiness while leading you straight into rebellion. The Creator did not leave you to judge by your intuition; He gave you a fixed legal protocol to test what is operating in front of you. Read 1 John 4:1." The Verse: "Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world." The Shock: "The Greek word for 'test' is dokimazō—a legal and metallurgical term meaning to assay, analyze, or put to a rigorous trial to see if it is genuine or counterfeit. If a spirit, a teacher, or a movement cannot pass the scriptural audit, you are commanded to reject it entirely, no matter how good it feels or how many followers it has." The Three Infallible Scriptural Tests To determine if a spirit is the Ruach HaKodesh (the Holy Spirit of Truth) or a spirit of deception, you must apply the three-fold protocol laid out in the literal text: Test 1: The Torah and Light Test (The Baseline) A true spirit will never contradict, alter, or relax the permanent instructions and commandments given by the Father. The Protocol (Isaiah 8:20): "To the law (Torah) and to the testimony! If they do not speak according to this word, it is because there is no light in them." The Execution: If a spirit or a teacher tells you that the Sabbath is changed, that the dietary laws are done away with, or that the Moedim (Appointed Feasts) are replaced by pagan-rooted traditions under the guise of "grace," the verdict is instantaneous: There is no light in them. The Holy Spirit is the author of the Law; He will never lead a person to break it. Test 2: The True Identity and Identity of Yeshua Test The spirit must confess and align entirely with the true, uncompromised identity, flesh, and lineage of the Hebrew Messiah. The Protocol (1 John 4:2-3): "By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ (Yeshua HaMashiach) has come in the flesh is of God, and every spirit that does not confess that Yeshua HaMashiach) has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist..." The Execution: To confess Him "in the flesh" means acknowledging His literal, physical reality as the Hebrew Messiah who walked in perfect Torah obedience, kept the Sabbath, and embodied the Word. If a spirit presents a counterfeit, lawless, Hellenized "Jesus" who authorizes his followers to throw out the Father's commandments, that spirit is exposing itself as the spirit of the Antichrist (anomos—the lawless one). Test 3: The Fruit and Character Test You do not judge a spirit by its gifts, its signs, or its numbers; you judge it by the structural transformation it produces in a person's life. The Protocol (Matthew 7:20, Galatians 5:22-23): "Therefore by their fruits you will know them... But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law." The Execution: Look past the performance. Does the spirit produce a life of radical Teshuvah (repentance), deep humility, and a protective love for the brethren? Or does it manifest the hidden works of the flesh—pride, gossip, horizontal treason against brothers, and a stubborn heart of flint that refuses correction? The Verdict of the Audit The Spirit of DeceptionThe Ruach HaKodesh (Spirit of Truth) Promotes anomia (lawlessness) and excuses the violation of the Commandments.Writes the Torah directly onto the heart and causes you to walk in His statutes (Ezekiel 36:27). Relies on emotional highs, human traditions, and the approval of the majority.Anchors itself strictly to the literal text: "Thus saith the Lord." Breeds pride, defensiveness, and a carnal mind hostile to God's Law.Produces the visible, active fruit of righteousness and horizontal love. The Bottom Line: Stop being spiritually naive. Run every voice, every teacher, and your own internal thoughts through this exact scriptural protocol. If it fails to match the Torah and the testimony of Yeshua, hit the eject button immediately. Turn your ear back to the Law so your very prayers do not become an abomination (Proverbs 28:9). Living in the Spirit Romans 8:9 8 Those controlled by the flesh cannot please God . 9 You, however, are controlled not by the flesh, but by the Spirit, if the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ. 10 But if Christ is in you, your body is dead because of sin, yet your spirit is alive because of righteousness.… Jesus and the Samaritan Woman John 4:24 …23 But a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth, for the Father is seeking such as these to worship Him. 24 God is Spirit, and His worshipers must worship Him in spirit and in truth.” Whoever keeps His commandments remains in God, and God in him. And by this we know that He remains in us: by the Spirit He has given us. 1 John 3:24

The first to plead his case seems just until another comes and examines him.Teachings that are not found in your bible and are taught as truth. One compromise here, another there and soon the so-called Christian and man in the world look a like. We know everything in life we know if something is a creator there must be a creator Proof in 60 seconds that there is a God When you see a painting you know there was a painter When you see a building you know there is a builder When you see creation and how complex and functional and beautiful there was and is a creator. Proof the Torah is true and divine. If the Torah makes one mistake it is not written by God The Creator The world has around 72% water 8 miles deep there are millions of fish in all the waters no one has ever found a fish with scales that don't have fins.is it possible someone who could have written this over 3,000 years ago who could have written such a thing except the creator? The Torah says which animals are good to eat and which ones are not to eat There are 2,000,000 different kinds of animals in the world God gives us two wittness split huffs and chew its cud. Two signs to make sure the animal is cosher God says be careful there are four exceptional animals The pig, Cammel, hair, and Rabbat. Torah commands Jews to circumcise their babies on the 8-day Vitamin K is 110% only on the 8-day who knew it but the creator? The new moon is never less than 29 days and 1,2 us 29.530.88 Geromand 29 530.89 El primero en defender su caso parece justo hasta que llega otro y lo examina. Proverbios 18:17 Enseñanzas que no se encuentran en su biblia y se enseñan como verdad. Un compromiso aquí, otro allá y pronto el llamado cristiano y el hombre del mundo se parecen a Tozer. Cuando los cristianos mueren, van al cielo. Están en un lugar mejor. El antiguo testamento es para los judíos y el nuevo testamento para todos los demás. Nadie puede guardar los mandamientos. Puedes vivir como el diablo y aun así ir al Cielo. El santo día de reposo de Dios, los Sábados, ha sido abolido. El sábado se cambió al domingo porque los apóstoles se reunían el primer día de la semana. Las leyes alimenticias de Levítico, que Dios dijo que no comieran ni tocaran carne inmunda, son solo para los judíos. Hay un rapto secreto solo para los cristianos, excluyéndolos de la tribulación. La ley de Dios fue clavada en la cruz. Los cristianos carnales no están bajo la ley, pero están bajo la gracia. Yeshua lo hizo para que nosotros no tengamos que hacerlo. Una vez guardado siempre guardado. Solo pide a Yeshua que entre en tu corazón para salvación. El único requisito para Creer es reconocer la existencia de Dios. El bautismo es solo un significado simbólico y no se requiere para la salvación. El Evangelio es la muerte, sepultura y resurrección. Seguir las instrucciones de Dios es legalista. Eres judío si guardas las leyes alimentarias, el sábado, las fiestas de Dios y todos los mandamientos de Dios como lo hizo Yeshua. Solo importa lo que sientas en tu corazón, incluso si es pagano. El nacimiento de Yeshua ocurrió el 25 de diciembre, y que había pastores y ovejas en los campos y que María y José debían viajar en el invierno. La iglesia puede cristianizar las fiestas paganas, como Navidad, Semana Santa y Halloween. El malentendido de las cartas de Pablo anula la palabra de Dios y sus instrucciones. Llegará un momento en que la gente no escuchará enseñanzas precisas. En cambio, seguirán sus propios deseos y se rodearán de maestros que les digan lo que quieren escuchar. 2 Timoteo 4:3 Hay consecuencias—consecuencias eternas—de nuestras acciones. Lo que hacemos es evidencia de lo que creemos. No se deje engañar, no puede burlarse de la justicia de Dios. Siempre cosecharás lo que plantes. 8 Los que viven sólo para satisfacer su propia naturaleza pecaminosa cosecharán decadencia y muerte de esa naturaleza pecaminosa. Pero aquellos que viven para agradar al Espíritu cosecharán vida eterna del Espíritu. Galatians 6:7-8 _cc781905-5cde-3194 -bb3b-136bad5cf58d_ _cc781905-5cde-3bdcf_

"Do you want to believe what the Bible says or what you have been taught it says? I can prove it The Final Verdict "The cross was never meant to be a place where the Law died; it was the place where the Penalty was paid so that you could finally be empowered to obey. If you come to the cross but flee from the Commandments, you haven't been saved —you've just been comforted in your rebellion."You’re like a convict handed a full pardon who chooses to stay locked up just for the free meals." Stop turning back. The same Yeshua who bled for you is the same God who wrote the Commandments with His own finger. "You cannot have the King without His Commandments. Choose the whole Truth, or you have nothing at all." Betrayal of God Names matters 12 tribes of Israel Hola Christian, tienes un problema, ¿dónde dice eso en las Escrituras? Cristo nació el 25 de diciembre. ¿Que murió el Viernes Santo y resucitó el Domingo de Resurrección? ¿El día de reposo se cambió al día de la resurrección y está bien trabajar en él? La ley y cristo fue clavado a un madero? ¿Que los cristianos son nombrados en el nuevo pacto? ¿Que no tienes que vivir como lo hizo Cristo? ¿Se puede tocar y comer cualquier carne inmunda? ¿Está bien celebrar Navidad, Pascua y Halloween? ¿Que no tienes que ser injertado en Israel para ser salvo? ¿Cuándo mueren los cristianos van al cielo? ¿Una vez salvo siempre salvo? ¿El bautismo es solo simbólico? ¿El viejo Testmate es para los judíos? ¿Serán arrebatados los cristianos y los judíos quedarán atrás? Nadie puede dejar de practicar el pecado. 9. The Legal Contradiction You claim the blood of Yeshua washed away your sins. But 1 John 233:4 says sin is the breaking of the Law. The Confrontation: "How can you celebrate being saved from your sins while simultaneously bragging that you don't have to keep the Law? If the Law is gone, then sin no longer exists, and you didn't even need a Savior. Read 1 John 3:4." The Verse: "Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law." The Shock: "If you refuse to keep the Commandments, you are saying, 'I want to be forgiven for breaking the rules, but I reserve the right to keep breaking them.' That isn't faith; that is a legal insult to the Judge. You are asking for a pardon while holding the weapon you used to commit the crime." The "Love" Deception Most people say, "I don't need the Commandments; I just love God." The Confrontation: "You claim to love the Creator, but you refuse to listen to how He wants to be loved. The Bible doesn't let you define love your way. Read 1 John 5:3." The Verse: "For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous." The Shock: "If you turn away when confronted by the Commandments, you are proving that you don't actually love God—you love the feeling of being forgiven. You love yourself, not the Creator." The "Narrow Gate" vs. The "Wide Cross" People want a "Wide Cross" that accepts everyone regardless of their rebellion. But Yeshua described a Narrow Gate. The Confrontation: "Modern religion has invented a broad path where you can confess Messiah with your lips but live like the rest of the world. But the real Yeshua didn't offer a frictionless road. Read Matthew 7:13-14." The Verse: "Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it." The Shock: "The Gate is narrow because the Commandments are the boundary. If you turn around when you see the requirements of the Sabbath, the Dietary Laws, and the Appointed Times, you are choosing the Wide Road. You are essentially saying the price of following the real Yeshua is too high. You would rather have a comfortable lie than a difficult Truth." The "Great Disconnect" (The Hypocrisy of the Covenant) This is the "Great Disconnect" of modern Christianity. People treat the cross like a drive-through window for mercy, but they treat the Commandments like a wall they refuse to climb. The Confrontation: "You want the benefits of a King without honoring His jurisdiction. You claim the protection of the Blood of the Covenant, but you flatly reject the Terms of the Covenant. You cannot sign a legal contract, claim the inheritance, and then tear up the stipulations. Read Hebrews 10:29." The Verse: " Of how much worse punishment, do you suppose, will he be thought worthy who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, counted the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified a common thing, and insulted the Spirit of grace?" The Shock: "If you are delivering this as a 'Shock and Awe' message, you have to expose the hypocrisy of wanting the Blood of the Covenant while rejecting the Terms of the Covenant. To take His blood for your cleansing while calling His Sabbath or His dietary instructions 'done away with' is to treat His sacrifice as a cheap license for lawlessness. You aren't honoring the Savior; you are treating the ultimate cosmic execution as a get-out-of-jail-free card so you can keep running your own life." . The Cowardice of the Partial Convert "You are willing to walk to the cross because it feels like a gift, but you turn your back the moment you see the Commandments. You want a Savior, but you refuse a Lord." The Confrontation: "You have a selective faith that only accepts the parts of God that give you comfort while fleeing from the parts that demand your submission. You want the security of His sacrifice, but you are too terrified to let Him govern your schedule, your plate, or your lifestyle. Read Luke 6:46." The Verse: "But why do you call Me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do the things which I say?" The Shock: "A partial conversion is nothing more than spiritual cowardice. It is the mindset of a person who wants the crown but despises the crown's authority. True conversion requires a total surrender of your self-will. If you only obey God when it aligns with what you already wanted to do, you aren't serving the King—you are still serving yourself." The Proof of Love In John 14:15, Yeshua directly links love to action, removing all room for emotional sentimentality or lip service. The Confrontation: "You can weep at the altar, raise your hands during the worship songs, and tell anyone who will listen how much you love Jesus. But the Messiah Himself does not measure your love by your goosebumps or your tears. He measures it by your track record of obedience. Read John 14:15." The Verse: "If ye love me, keep my commandments." The Shock: "To claim you love Him while walking in open defiance of His Torah—ignoring His Sabbath, His Dietary Laws, and His Appointed Times—is a profound delusion. You are treating the King of Kings like a casual boyfriend whom you can sweet-talk while completely ignoring his boundaries and expectations. True love isn't an emotion you feel; it is a legal, actionable commitment to submit to His authority." Testing Your Profession In 1 John 2:4, the Scripture sets an absolute, uncompromising standard for anyone who claims to belong to the Almighty, emphasizing that lip service without a changed life is a falsehood. The Confrontation: "You tell people you have a personal relationship with the Creator. You check the box on your social media profile, wear the jewelry, and claim to 'know' Him. But the Bible has a brutal, single-sentence test to determine if you are telling the truth or telling a lie. Read 1 John 2:4." The Verse: "He that saith, 'I know him,' and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him." The Shock: "This isn't a suggestion; it's a legal verdict from the Word of God. According to the Apostle John, if you boast about knowing the Savior but refuse to guard His Torah—His Sabbath, His Dietary Laws, and His Appointed Times—the Bible doesn't call you a 'growing Christian' or a 'believer under grace.' It calls you a liar. If your profession of faith doesn't alter your lifestyle, your calendar, and your obedience, your testimony is nothing but a fraudulent presentation to the world." The Distinction (Stumble vs. Betrayal) You have to know the difference between a servant who trips on the path and a rebel who walks off it. The Confrontation: "Many people excuse their lifelong disregard for God's instructions by saying, 'Nobody's perfect, we all stumble.' But there is a massive legal difference between a soldier who falls in the mud during battle and a deserter who runs to the enemy's camp. Read Proverbs 24:16." The Verse: "For a righteous man may fall seven times and rise again, but the wicked shall fall into calamity." The Shock: "A stumble is a mistake made while trying to stay on the narrow path, followed by immediate repentance (Teshuvah). Betrayal is the intentional decision to walk away from the path because you prefer your own way over His. Bottom Line: Betrayal is knowing the Master’s house rules and choosing to treat them as optional. When you know the Sabbath, the Dietary Laws, and the Appointed Times are His standard, yet you deliberately choose to treat them as suggestions, you aren't stumbling—you are walking in open revolt." The Reality of False Conversion: Just Getting Wet True salvation demands a total legal surrender: absolute repentance, a dedication to obedience, and the execution of baptism. If you go through these motions without a radical change of mind and direction, you are simply getting wet. The Confrontation: "People treat baptism like a magical ritual that automatically punches their ticket to heaven, regardless of how they live afterward. But water cannot wash away a rebellious heart. You walk out of the water just as lost as you went in, because an unrepented record of debt cannot be canceled. Read Acts 5:32." The Verse: " And we are His witnesses to these things, and so also is the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey Him." The Shock: "To legally belong to the Creator, you must receive His Holy Spirit and actively walk in His Truth. But here is the hard line: God will never give His Holy Spirit to those who choose to live in disobedience. If your lifestyle still rejects the Sabbath, the Dietary Laws, and His Appointed Times, you are operating without the Spirit of Christ. You haven't been born again; you just went for a swim while holding onto your sins." The Execution of Spiritual Blindness Without the indwelling of the Spirit, a devastating spiritual sentence is carried out against you. The Confrontation: "You think you can reject the Master's instructions and still have spiritual clarity. But the moment you walk away from His Torah, a legal judgment takes place in your mind. You are stripped of your discernment, leaving you completely vulnerable. Read Isaiah 29:10." The Verse: "For the Lord has poured out on you the spirit of deep sleep, and has closed your eyes, the prophets; and He has covered your heads, the seers." The Shock: "Without the indwelling of the Spirit, a devastating spiritual sentence is carried out against you: The Standard of True Alignment True alignment with the Almighty cannot be faked, bartered, or replaced by a pastoral ritual. It requires a two-part structural reality. The Confrontation: "Many believe that a regular church attendance record, a title, or a recommendation from a pastor gives them legal standing before the throne. But the Judge does not accept human credentials or forged paperwork. Read John 4:24." The Verse: "God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth." The Shock: "True alignment requires a two-part structural reality: An Internal Transformation executed strictly by the Holy Spirit. An Unwavering Commitment to worship Him in Spirit and in absolute, uncompromised Truth. Without both, you are standing in a courtroom trying to present a fraudulent contract to the Judge. You cannot bring the 'spirit' of emotional worship while throwing out the 'truth' of His Commandments, nor can you bring cold ritual without the Spirit. If you lack either one, the contract is null and void, and you are legally exposed before the Court." The Resurrection: The "True" Hope In the Hebrew mindset, the reward isn't "going to heaven" as a disembodied soul. The reward is the Resurrection of the Body at the end of the age. The Confrontation: "Modern religion has invented a sentimental, unbiblical fairy tale about floating off to heaven on a cloud the moment you die. This pagan view of a disembodied afterlife completely bypasses the central hope of the scriptures: the physical resurrection from the dead. Read John 3:13 and Acts 2:34." The Verses: * Yeshua’s Fact: "No one has ascended to heaven but He who came down from heaven, that is, the Son of Man who is in heaven." (John 3:13) David’s Fact: "For David did not ascend into the heavens..." (Acts 2:34) The Shock: "The Biblical Timeline is clear: when a person dies, they return to the dust—entering a state of sleep in Sheol—where they remain until they are awakened by the Master at the 'Last Trumpet.' By replacing the Resurrection with an instant escape-to-heaven philosophy, you strip the return of Messiah of its ultimate power. You don't go to Him in the sky forever; He comes down here to awaken His saints from the dirt, conquer death, and establish His physical Kingdom on the earth." The "Thief on the Cross" Objection This is the verse most often used by the carnal mind to "prove" that people go to heaven immediately when they die, bypassing the resurrection. The Confrontation: "People point to the thief on the cross as a get-out-of-jail-free card for an instant escape to heaven. They use one sentence to wipe out the entire biblical timeline of the resurrection. But they are completely missing the grammatical and historical reality of the text. Read Luke 23:43." The Verses: * The Thief's Request: "Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom." (Luke 23:42) Yeshua's Response: "And Jesus said to him, 'Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.'" (Luke 23:43) The Shock: " The original Greek text had no punctuation or commas. Where a translator places the comma completely changes the meaning: Interpretation A (Traditional): 'Truly I tell you, today you will be with me...' Interpretation B (Hebrew Context): 'Truly I tell you today, you will be with me in paradise.' The absolute proof is that Yeshua Himself did not go to Paradise or heaven that afternoon. He went into the heart of the earth for three days and three nights. Three days later, He told Mary Magdalene in John 20:17, 'Do not cling to Me, for I have not yet ascended to My Father.' If the Master Himself hadn't gone to heaven yet, the thief wasn't there either. Yeshua was giving a solemn promise on that specific day of crucifixion that the thief would ultimately have a place in the future, physical Kingdom at the resurrection." The "Truth Only" Summary According to the literal text, when a person dies, they "rest" or "sleep" in the grave (Sheol). They remain there, unconscious of the passage of time, until the Resurrection at the return of Yeshua. The Confrontation: " Stop looking for an escape hatch into a disembodied, spiritualized ether. The Almighty created man from the dirt of the ground, and His ultimate plan has always been a physical, earthly inheritance. The focus of the end times is not about us going up to live with Him—it is about Him coming down to live with us. Read Revelation 21:3." The Verse: " And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, ‘Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God.’" The Shock: "The 'True' destination for the righteous is not a distant heaven, but a restored Earth where the Master sets up His throne. You are not going to spend eternity floating away from the physical creation; you are going to be resurrected into an incorruptible body to rule and reign right here on the ground. To cling to the traditional 'heavenly reward' is to fundamentally misunderstand the destination of the Narrow Road." To address the "true rapture" using the Truth Only approach, we must distinguish between the popular modern "Left Behind" theory and what is actually written in the original Greek and Hebrew manuscripts. The Confrontation: " Modern church culture has fed you a comforting fairy tale of a secret, silent escape pod designed to snatch you away before things get difficult. You’ve been trained to look for a backdoor out of tribulation instead of preparing your house to endure it. Read 1 Thessalonians 4:17." The Verse: "Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we shall always be with the Lord." The Shock: "The word 'Rapture' does not even appear in your English Bible. It comes from the Latin rapio, translating the Greek harpazo (to snatch or seize). But the modern church has completely twisted the mechanics, the timing, and the purpose of this event to fit a narrative that the ancient prophets and apostles never taught." 1. The Timeline: Pre-Tribulation vs. Post-Tribulation The most common modern teaching suggests that believers disappear before a time of trouble. However, if we look at the literal words of Yeshua, the sequence is completely reversed. The Verse (Matthew 24:29-31): "Immediately after the tribulation of those days... they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His elect from the four winds..." The Shock: "In the literal words of the Messiah Himself, the 'gathering'—what you call the Rapture—happens after the tribulation, not before. The modern church is prepping people for an escape that isn't coming, leaving an entire generation completely unequipped to stand firm in the face of the enemy." 2. The "One Taken, One Left" Misconception Many people use Matthew 24:40 ("two men will be in the field; one will be taken and one left") to describe a secret vanishing act of the righteous. But in a Hebrew context, being 'taken' is a death sentence. The Verse (Matthew 24:38-39): "For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be." The Shock: "Go back to the pattern of Noah's day. The ones 'taken' were not the righteous flying away to safety—the ones 'taken' were the wicked who were swept away by the judgment of the flood to their destruction! The ones 'left behind' were Noah and his family, the righteous who remained on the ground to inherit the cleansed earth. You are actively praying for the wrong outcome." 3. The Historical Origin of the Secret Escape If this secret, pre-tribulation flight plan isn't in the literal words of Scripture, where did it come from? The Fact: "This doctrine was virtually unknown for the first 1,800 years of Church history. It was popularized around 1830 AD by John Nelson Darby, who developed a system called 'Dispensationalism.' It became cement in the American mind when it was printed in the study footnotes of the Scofield Reference Bible in 1909. You are risking your spiritual survival on a 19th-century human invention that was cross-referenced into your margins." 4. The Hebrew Concept: The Royal Meeting In the ancient world, when a King or a Bridegroom approached a city, the citizens did not run out to meet him so they could escape with him back to his home. They went out to escort him into their territory. The Verse (Matthew 25:6): "And at midnight a cry was heard: ‘Behold, the bridegroom is coming; go out to meet him!’" The Shock: " In 1 Thessalonians 4:17, the Greek word for 'meet' is apantesis. In ancient custom, and in every other New Testament usage (like the Parable of the Ten Virgins), apantesis means going out to greet an arriving dignitary and immediately turning around to escort him back to where he was heading. The 'Rapture' is not a flight away to heaven for seven years; it is a glorious, royal welcome in the air to meet the arriving King, Yeshua, as He descends to execute judgment and establish His permanent Kingdom right here on E arth."

The Diagnostic Test — Spirit of Truth or Spirit of Tradition? Use these four questions to examine yourself or guide a brother or sister through honest self-reflection: 1. The Humility Test (John 16:13 & Acts 17:11) The Question: When clear biblical evidence exposes that an inherited church belief or holiday violates Scripture, what is your immediate response? Spirit of Truth: "Let God be true and every man a liar." You yield to the text, repent, and abandon the tradition, regardless of the personal or family cost. Spirit of Tradition: You become defensive, dismiss the study, justify church custom, or claim "God knows my heart." 2. The Obedience Test (1 John 2:3–4 & John 14:15) The Question: “Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments. He who says, ‘I know Him,’ and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.” Do you strive to obey His commandments, or do you view His law as a burden? Spirit of Truth: Obedience is your act of love and fruit of repentance. Spirit of Tradition: Uses grace as an excuse for disobedience, claiming the commandments don't apply anymore. 3. The Authority Test (Mark 7:7–9) The Question: When God's Word says one thing and your denomination or favorite preacher says another, who wins? Spirit of Truth: Scripture alone holds final authority over doctrine and daily life. Spirit of Tradition: Denominational catechisms, pastors' opinions, and family heritage overrule the text. 4. The Name Test (Matthew 1:21 & Acts 4:12) The Question: When shown that Gabriel assigned the Hebrew name Yeshua ("Yahweh is Salvation"), carrying the Father's personal redemptive signature, does your spirit leap to honor it, or do you despise its Hebrew origin? Spirit of Truth: Receives the name with reverent joy, marveling at the Father's salvation. Spirit of Tradition: Clings to familiarity and mocks or rejects the original Hebrew truth. Part 3: The Watchman’s Mandate “Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; therefore hear a word from My mouth, and give them warning from Me: When I say to the wicked, ‘You shall surely die,’ and you give him no warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life, that same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood I will require at your hand. Yet, if you warn the wicked, and he does not turn from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you have delivered your soul.” — Ezekiel 3:17–19 To the Reader: This warning is delivered to you not in hatred, but in urgent love. You have now been shown the mirror of Scripture. The difference between what God commanded and what man instituted is clear. In Romans 8:1–14, Paul sets up an absolute, binary divide. There is no middle ground or third category: a person is either governed by the mind of the flesh (sarx) or the Spirit of God (Pneuma). Paul does not frame this test around emotional experiences or external religious performance, but around dominion, mindset, and alignment with God's law. 1. The Starting Position: Condemnation vs. Freedom (vv. 1–4) What God Said: The Mosaic Law was holy and just, but it was "weakened by the flesh"—it could command righteousness, but human nature could not produce it. God fulfilled the righteous requirement of the Law by sending His Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to condemn sin in the flesh. The Mark of Having the Spirit: The believer walks "not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit" (v. 4). The law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set them free from the law of sin and death. The Contrast: The flesh is trapped under an endless cycle of command, failure, and condemnation. The Spirit produces an internal reality where the demand of God's Word is actively loved and lived out. 2. The Mindset Test: Setting the Affections (vv. 5–6) "For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace." (vv. 5–6) The Mind of the Flesh: Governed by temporal preservation, self-elevation, appetites, and autonomous human reasoning. Its ultimate end is spiritual decay and death. The Mind of the Spirit: Preoccupied with what honors God—truth, holiness, obedience, and kingdom purposes. The Test: What does the mind naturally drift toward when unrestrained? The flesh defaults to self-interest; the Spirit defaults to God's will, resulting in inner stability (life and peace). 3. The Authority Test: Hostility vs. Submission (vv. 7–8) "For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God's law; indeed, it cannot. Those who are in the flesh cannot please God." (vv. 7–8) This is the diagnostic core of Paul’s argument: The Flesh Cannot Submit: The natural human heart views God's absolute authority as an imposition or a threat to autonomy. Even when outwardly observant, it negotiates, modifies, or excuses disobedience. It is fundamentally at war with "God Said." The Inability to Please God: Good deeds, religious ceremonies, or moral philosophies done under the impulse of the flesh remain unacceptable to God because the underlying will has never surrendered. 4. The Ownership Test: The Indwelling Presence (vv. 9–11) "You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit of God dwells in you. Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him." (v. 9) Paul’s Binary Conclusion: You either possess the Spirit and belong to Christ, or you do not have the Spirit and are alien to Him. There is no category of a Christian who lacks the Spirit of Christ. The Internal Witness: If Christ is in you, the natural body remains subject to physical death because of sin, but the spirit is alive because of imputed and imparted righteousness (v. 10). The Guarantee: The same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead acts as a residing power, imparting resurrection life even to mortal bodies to walk in holiness now (v. 11). 5. The Mortification and Sonship Test (vv. 12–14) "For if you live according to the flesh you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God." (vv. 12–14) Active Mortification: Having the Spirit does not mean passive sinlessness; it means active warfare. The true believer does not coddle the flesh or make peace with compromise—they actively put to death the misdeeds of the body through the Spirit's power. Led by the Spirit: In biblical context, being "led by the Spirit" in verse 14 does not refer primarily to mystical nudges about career or life choices; it refers directly to being led away from sin and into righteousness. Summary Table: Romans 8 Diagnostic Diagnostic Marker The Mind of the Flesh (Lacking the Spirit) The Mind of the Spirit (Having the Spirit) Primary Impulse Self-preservation, worldly interest, autonomy (v. 5) Righteousness, divine purpose, eternal truth (v. 5) Relation to God's WordHostile, resisting, unable to submit (v. 7) Submissive, fulfilled by the Spirit's power (v. 4, 7) Spiritual Fruit Death, alienation, inability to please God (vv. 6, 8) Life, peace, reconciliation with the Father (v. 6) Daily Habit Indulging or rationalizing the body's appetites (vv. 12–13) Actively mortifying the deeds of the flesh (v. 13) Identity Debtor to the fallen nature; outside Christ (vv. 9, 12) P ossessed by Christ; confirmed son/daughter of God (vv. 9, 14)

Nailed To The Cross The New Covenant Bottom of the page The New Covenant The Fulfillment of the Law The New Covenant Nailed to the cross Christ Redeemed Us nailed to the cross the law of the spirit and death is hung on the cross redeeming mankind from the curse of sin and death through his death on the cross. You've perfectly summarized a core doctrine of Christianity: redemption from the curse of sin and death through Jesus' death on the cross. Let's unpack what each part of that statement means in Christian theology: "Redeeming mankind": Redeem means to "buy back " or "pay a price for something lost or forfeited." In ancient times, it could refer to buying a slave's freedom or repurchasing property. In a spiritual sense, mankind was "lost" or "enslaved" to sin and its consequences. Jesus "bought back" humanity's freedom. "From the curse of sin and death": Sin: In Christianity, sin is not merely a mistake but an active rebellion against God's holy nature and perfect will. It's disobedience and a breaking of God's law. Curse of Sin : The Bible teaches that sin brought a curse upon creation and humanity. This curse manifests as: Spiritual Death: Separation from God, which is the ultimate source of life. Physical Death : The eventual cessation of biological life. Spiritual Bondage: The inability to overcome sin's power on one's own. Condemnation : The just judgment and punishment from a holy God. The "curse" also relates to the consequences described in Genesis 3 after the Fall – toil, pain, fractured relationships, and mortality. "Through his death on the cross": This is the means by which redemption is achieved. Atonement: Jesus, being fully God and fully man, lived a perfect, sinless life. His death on the cross is understood as a substitute (vicarious) atonement. He took upon Himself the penalty and punishment for humanity's sins, satisfying the demands of divine justice. Sacrifice: His death is seen as the ultimate sacrifice, the perfect Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. Victory: While appearing to be a defeat, the cross is also understood as the place where Jesus disarmed the powers of darkness, cancelled the legal debt of sin, and ultimately triumphed over sin and death (especially when combined with His resurrection). In essence, because of sin, humanity was under a divine curse leading to death and separation from God. Jesus, by willingly dying on the cross, paid the ultimate price, thereby redeeming those who believe in Galatians 3:12 The law, however, is not based on faith; on the contrary, “The man who does these things will live by them.” 13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us. For it is written: “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree.” 14 He redeemed us in order that the blessing promised to Abraham would come to the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit. … COLOSSI ANS 2:13-15 13 You were dead because of your sins and because your sinful nature was not yet cut away. Then God made you alive with Christ, for he forgave all our sins. 14 He canceled the record of the charges against us and took it away by nailing it to the cross. New Covenant The New Covenant is a central concept in Christian theology, representing a fundamental shift in God's relationship with humanity, as promised in the Old Testament and established through Jesus Christ in the New Testament. It stands in contrast to the Old Covenant (or Mosaic Covenant), which was established with Israel through Moses at Mount Sinai, centered on the Law. Here's a breakdown of the New Covenant: 1. Old Testament Prophecies of the New Covenant The idea of a "new covenant" was first prophesied in the Old Testament, most famously in: Jeremiah 31:31-34: "Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah, not like the covenant that I made with their fathers on the day when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, my covenant that they broke, though I was their husband, declares the Lord. For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord: I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they shall be my people. And no longer shall each one teach his neighbor and each his brother, saying, 'Know the Lord,' for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest, declares the Lord. For I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more." Other prophets like Ezekiel also hint at a new spirit and new heart (e.g., Ezekiel 36:26-27). And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you. And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes and be careful to obey my rules. These prophecies highlight the perceived failures of the Old Covenant (people broke it) and hint at a more internal, trans formative covenant. 2. Establishment of the New Covenant in Christ Christians believe the New Covenant was inaugurated by Jesus Christ through His life, death, and resurrection: His Blood: Jesus explicitly links the New Covenant to His blood during the Last Supper: "This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins." (Luke 22:20; Matthew 26:28; 1 Corinthians 11:25). His sacrificial death is the basis for this new agreement. His Fulfillment of the Law: Jesus is seen as fulfilling the Old Covenant Law (Matthew 5:17), not abolishing it, but bringing it to its intended goal and perfection. He satisfied its righteous demands. His Resurrection and the Holy Spirit: The New Covenant is made effective through the power of the Holy Spirit, whom Jesus sent after His resurrection and ascension. 3. Key Characteristics of the New Covenant The New Covenant contrasts with the Old Covenant in several significant ways: Internal vs. External: The Law of the Old Covenant was primarily external, written on stone tablets. The New Covenant involves God's Law being written on the heart and mind (Jeremiah 31:33; Hebrews 8:10), implying an internal transformation and desire to obey. Forgiveness of Sins: A central promise of the New Covenant is the forgiveness of sins, where God declares, "I will remember their sin no more" (Jeremiah 31:34; Hebrews 8:12). This forgiveness is achieved through Christ's sacrifice. Direct Access to God: Under the Old Covenant, access to God was mediated through priests and rituals. Under the New Covenant, believers have direct access to God through Christ (Hebrews 4:14-16, 10:19-22). Empowerment by the Holy Spirit: Instead of relying on human effort to keep the Law (which consistently failed), the New Covenant provides the Holy Spirit to empower believers to live righteously and obey God's will (Ezekiel 36:27; Romans 8:3-4). Relationship of Grace and Faith: While the Old Covenant had elements of grace, the New Covenant is overwhelmingly characterized by grace, received through faith in Jesus Christ, rather than through perfect adherence to legalistic rituals or commands (Ephesians 2:8-9; Romans 3:21-26). Universal Scope: While the Old Covenant was primarily with the nation of Israel, the New Covenant extends to all who believe, both Jews and Gentiles, forming a "spiritual Israel" or the Church (Galatians 3:28-29; Romans 10:12). 4. Significance for Christians For Christians, the New Covenant signifies: Salvation : It's the basis for salvation and reconciliation with God. New Life: It inaugurates a new way of life characterized by an internal transformation and empowerment by the Holy Spirit. Fulfillment: I t demonstrates God's faithfulness in fulfilling His ancient promises. Foundation of the Church: It is the foundation upon which the Christian Church is built. In summary, the New Covenant, established through Jesus Christ, is understood as a superior and everlasting covenant that brings forgiveness, internal transformation, direct access to God, and empowerment by the Holy Spirit, all based on God's grace and received through faith. Gods Instructions Gods unchanging laws The Fulfillment of the Law The Fulfillment of the Law 16In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven. 17Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets. I have not come to abolish them, but to fulfill them. 18For I tell you truly, until heaven and earth pass away, not a single jot, not a stroke of a pen, will disappear from the Law until

False Salvation God cannot stand the prayers of anyone who disobeys his Law.Proverbs 28:9 Is Simple Salvation the Truth? False Salvation You were born into a ready made religion Can a Christian be Unconverted? Real Salvation 4 signs of a True Christian A true sign that Christians recognize Yeshua is our only Savior, therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, for, “Everyone who calls on the name of Yeshua will be saved.” True Christians keep the Law of God. True Christians walk as Yeshua walked and lived. True Christians must overcome sin. Spiritual Blindness The spiritually blind hear the truth, but they cannot see what it means. They cannot see the “big picture” of salvation, and they are unable to see how it applies to their own life. They have trouble confessing the truth because they have difficulty believing what they cannot see. For it is by grace [God’s remarkable compassion and favor drawing you to Christ] that you have been saved [actually delivered from judgment and given eternal life] through faith. And this [salvation] is not of yourselves [not through your own effort], but it is the [undeserved, gracious] gift of God; What are the 18 steps to salvation? Hear the Gospel. (Matthew 4:17John 8:32) Believe the Gospel (Hebrews 11:6, John 20:31) Repent of past sins (Luke 13:3, Acts 17:30) Confess faith in Jesus Christ (Romans 10:10, Matthew 10:32) Be Baptized (Galatians 3:27, Mark 16:16, Acts 2:38) Be faithful unto death (Revelation 2:10) For all who obey him eternal salvation Hebrews 5:9 Whoever claims to live in him must live as Jesus did.1 John 2:6 But don't just listen to God's word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves. James 1:2 And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, they do not belong to Christ. Romans 8:1 We are witnesses of these things and so is the Holy Spirit, who is given by God to those who obey him.” Acts 5:32 “whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved.Romans 10:13-15 For But if thou wouldest enter into life, keep the commandments. Matthew 19:16-26 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life…John 3:15,16 For we live by faith, not by sight. (Hebrews 11:6) And without faith it is impossible to please God because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.2 Corinthians 5:7 And anyone who believes in God’s Son has eternal life. Anyone who doesn’t obey the Son will never experience eternal life but remains under God’s angry judgment.” John 3: Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.”John 3:3 So you see, faith by itself isn’t enough. Unless it produces good deeds, it is dead and useless.James 2:17-23 Barns Group survey. "Believers don't care what the truth Is, or care what Yehovah desires from us. We are afraid of looking into, it because it will draw a line in the sand, we know we don't want to make those decisions because at the end of the day, we want what we want, we are comfortable with our lives we are comfortable out traditions that are man-made. But you have a thought that pops into your head that's not what it means to me. The issue is it doesn't matter to you it matters to Yehovah He is the one being worshiped." The problem facing the church is not that people lack a complete set of beliefs the problem is that have a full state of beliefs in mind, which they think are consistent with biblical teachings, and they are neither open to being proven wrong nor learning new insights. The bottom line is among both clergy and laity. Revelation 22:14 14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. Acts 5:32 We are witnesses of these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey Him.” 3

For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God.The purpose of life? And this is the way to have eternal life—to know you, the only true Yehovah, and Yeshua messiah, the one you sent to earth. Have reverence for God, and obey His commands, because this is all that we were create Child of God or a child of the Devil EVERY SINGLE WORD in the Bible deserves our highest regard and careful obedience. Scripture isn't a collection of suggestions or optional wisdom —it's God-breathed, profitable for teaching, correcting, and guiding us in righteousness (as 2 Timothy 3:16 puts it). We should hold each word in reverence and commit to following it fully, letting it shape how we live, speak, and love others. ¿Amas a Dios? What does God’s word actually say about this —plainly, without my spin?” It’s easier to justify than to submit. It’s more comfortable to reinterpret than to repent. (James 1:23–25). Scripture splits humanity into two distinct categories based on their relationship to God and His commandments. If God calls His covenant-keeping people saints (those set apart), He refers to the others as: 1. The Lawless (or Wicked) In the New Testament, Yeshua and the Apostles frequently contrast the saints with those who live without regard for God's instructions. The Greek term: Anomia (literally "without law" or "violating the law"). The Warning: I n Matthew 7:23, Yeshua warns those who claim to know Him but ignore the commandments: "Depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!" 2. The Unjust (or Unrighteous) The Bible repeatedly contrasts the two groups when discussing judgment. The Contrast: In 1 Corinthians 6:1, Paul asks why a believer would take a matter before the unjust rather than before the saints. The Destiny : 2 Peter 2:9 states that God knows how to deliver the godly, but keeps the unjust under punishment for the day of judgment. 3. The Children of Disobedience (or Children of the Devil) When addressing who rules a person's life and actions, Scripture uses family terms. The Actions : Ephesians 2:2 speaks of the spirit that works in the children of disobedience. The Definition: 1 John 3:10 draws the line clearly: "In this the children of God and the children of the devil are manifest: Whoever does not practice righteousness [keeping the commandments] is not of God." The Definitive Verse: Revelation 14:12 identifies the first group perfectly: "Here is the patience of the saints; here are those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Yeshua." By biblical definition, anyone outside of that description falls into the category of the lawless, the unjust, or the disobedient. This diagnostic test uses the final book of scripture to draw a line in the sand. It forces you to look at the two distinct categories of humanity established by the Creator, using Revelation 14:12 as the ultimate boundary marker. 📋 The "Saints vs. The Lawless" Definitive Boundary Test Instructions: Answer these 4 direct questions to determine which biblical category your daily life, your habits, and your theology place you in. Question 1: The Mark of a Saint In Revelation 14:12, the scripture gives a precise, two-part definition of a saint: "Here are those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Yeshua." Based on this verse, how do you define your identity? A) A Saint (Set-Apart). You recognize that true faith in the Messiah is inseparable from a physical walk of keeping the Father's Torah. Your life displays both parts: total trust in Yeshua and meticulous care for His instructions. B) A Cultural Believer. You claim to have "faith in Jesus," but you believe His commandments are obsolete or optional, cutting the verse in half and choosing a path that scripture defines as incomplete. Question 2: The Practice of Anomia (Lawlessness) In Matthew 7:23, the Master issues a terrifying warning to people who fully believed they were in the Kingdom: "Depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness (anomia—living without regard for God's law)." When you examine your lifestyle, do you treat the Torah as active law? A) You Reject Lawlessness. You actively study the Torah to identify sin so you can completely purge it from your actions, treating His rest days, dietary boundaries, and moral laws as non-negotiable. B) You Practice Anomia. You live your life based on church traditions, personal feelings, or cultural convenience, considering yourself exempt from the physical laws of God under the guise of "grace." Question 3: The Fruit of Righteousness vs. Disobedience According to 1 John 3:10, the line between the children of God and the children of the devil is stark: "Whoever does not practice righteousness [keeping the commandments] is not of God." When the Father looks at your daily practice, what family lineage does it reveal? A) A Child of God. Your regular, daily practice is righteousness. You actively obey the Father's voice, making your spiritual DNA obvious through visible, physical fruits of obedience. B) A Child of Disobedience. Your daily practice matches the world's standard. You follow the crowd, ignore the biblical calendar, eat what the world eats, and shrug off the lifestyle of Yeshua, aligning with the spirit described in Ephesians 2:2. Question 4: The Courtroom of the Unjust In 1 Corinthians 6:1, Paul rebukes believers for seeking judgment and direction from the "unjust" (unrighteous) rather than from the saints. When you seek wisdom, direction, or validation for how you live, where do you go? A) The Royal Law. You turn strictly to the unchanging Word of God and the example of Yeshua, using the standard of the saints to settle how you walk. B) The Standard of the World. You look to the theological systems of the modern world, human consensus, or comfortable sermons that tell you exactly what your itching ears want to hear, relying on an unjust standard. The Definitive Verdict: Review where your checked boxes land. Scripture leaves zero room for a third option, a middle ground, or a gray area. If your choices consistently land on B, the mirror exposes a vital reality: By biblical definition, anyone who does not keep the commandments of God and the faith of Yeshua falls directly into the category of the lawless, the unjust, or the disobedient. True faith is not a mental concept or a verbal claim—it is a physical lifestyle. If you want to be counted among the saints who endure with patience, you must abandon the broad road of anomia today and begin walking exactly as Yeshua walked. , Hijo de Yehovah O hijo del diablo. Porque los que son guiados por el Espíritu de Dios son hijos de Dios. Isaías 61:1 ¿El propósito de la vida? Y esta es la forma de tener vida eterna: conocerte a ti, el único Dios verdadero, y a Yeshua Mesías, el que tú enviaste a la tierra. Juan 17:3 Después de todo esto, sólo queda una cosa por decir: Tened reverencia a Dios, y obedeced sus mandamientos, porque para esto fuimos creados, es deber de todos. Eclesiastés 12:13 ¿Qué es un pecador? Todo el que peca quebranta la ley de Dios porque el pecado es lo mismo que quebrantar la ley de Dios. 1 Juan 3:4 El que practica el pecado es del diablo, 1 Juan 3:8 Dios detesta las oraciones de una persona que ignora la ley. Proverbios 28:9 Todos los mentirosos se encontrarán en el lago de fuego de azufre ardiente. Esta es la muerte segunda.” Apocalipsis 21:8 Debes estar justificado . Porque no los oidores de la ley son justos ante Dios, sino los hacedores de la ley serán justificados. Romanos 2:13 debes arrepentirte He venido a llamar no a los que se creen justos, sino a los que saben que son pecadores y necesitan arrepentirse”. Lucas 5:32 debes ser justo Queridos hijos, no se dejen engañar por nadie en esto. Cuando la gente hace lo correcto, muestra que son justos, así como Cristo es justo. 8 Pero cuando la gente sigue pecando, muestra que pertenecen al diablo, 1Juan 3:7 He venido a llamar no los que se creen justos, sino los que saben que son pecadores y necesitan arrepentirse. “Lucas 5:32 ¿El deber de todo padre? Estas palabras que te mando hoy, estarán sobre tu corazón. 7 “Las enseñarás diligentemente a tus hijos y hablarás de ellas cuando te sientes en tu casa y cuando andes por el camino y cuando te acuestes y cuando te levantes. 8 “Las atarás como una señal en tu mano y estarán como frontales en tu frente. 9 “Las escribirás en los postes de tu casa y en tus puertas. Deuteronomio 6:4-9 Todos deben nacer de nuevo Cualquiera nacido de Dios rehúsa practicar el pecado porque la semilla de Dios permanece en él; no puede seguir pecando, porque ha nacido de Dios. 10 En esto se distinguen los hijos de Dios de los hijos del diablo: El que no practica la justicia no es de Dios, ni el que no ama a su hermano. 1Juan3:9 ¿Qué te sucederá cuando mueras? Todos deben morir una vez, y después ser juzgados por Dios, Hebreos 9:27 La fe se define bíblicamente como: La fe es: creer que todo lo que Dios dijo es verdad, comprometerse a seguir lo que dice y luego hacer lo que dice la Palabra. En otras palabras, creer/confiar, comprometerse a obedecer o hacer, y luego la acción de obedecer/hacerlo. Otra forma en que lo decimos es: Fe es creer, comprometerse y confiar en Dios y Su Palabra. Toda la humanidad está “bajo la ley” (La ley del pecado y la muerte) hasta que entren en pacto a través de la fe en el Mesías y reciban la salvación por gracia a través de esa fe. Hijos de Dios por medio de la fe 23 Antes de que el camino de la fe en Cristo estuviera disponible para nosotros, estábamos bajo la protección de la ley. Nos mantuvieron bajo custodia protectora, por así decirlo, hasta que se reveló el camino de la fe. 24 Permítanme decirlo de otra manera. La ley fue nuestro guardián hasta que vino Cristo; nos protegió hasta que pudiéramos estar bien con Dios a través de la fe. 25 Y ahora que ha llegado el camino de la fe, ya no necesitamos a la ley como nuestro guardián. 26Porque todos sois hijos de Dios por la fe en Cristo Jesús. 27 Y todos los que se han unido a Cristo en el bautismo, se han revestido de Cristo como si se pusieran ropa nueva. 28 Ya no hay judío, ni gentil, esclavo, ni libre, ni hombre ni mujer. Porque todos vosotros sois uno en Cristo Jesús. 29Y ahora que sois de Cristo, sois los verdaderos hijos de Abraham. Vosotros sois sus herederos, y la promesa de Dios a Abraham os pertenece. La forma de ser salvos es creer que hemos pecado y merecemos la muerte porque la Palabra así lo dice. Juan 3:3 Jesús le respondió: "De cierto te digo, a menos que nazcas de nuevo, no puedes ver el Reino de Yehovah". Hechos 2:38 Pedro respondió: "Cada uno de ustedes debe arrepentirse de sus pecados y volverse a Yehovah y ser bautizados en el nombre de Yeshua Mesías para el perdón de sus pecados. Entonces recibirás el don del Espíritu Santo. Proverbios 28:9 El que aparta su oído para no oír la ley, Incluso su oración será abominación. Eclesiastés 12:13 Esa es toda la historia. He aquí ahora mi conclusión: Teme a Yehovah y obedece Sus mandamientos, porque este es el deber de todos. Gálatas 3:28 Ya no hay judío ni gentil, esclavo ni libre, hombre ni mujer. Porque todos vosotros sois uno en Cristo Yeshua. Santiago 1:22 Pero no se limite a escuchar la palabra de Yehovah. Debes hacer lo que dice. De lo contrario, solo os estáis engañando a vosotros mismos. “Entonces Yehovah me dijo: ¡Grita el mensaje! No te detengas. Di a mi pueblo Israel: ¡Has pecado! Te has vuelto contra Yehovah tu Elohim. Isaías 58:1 "Cuando les digas todo esto, no esperes que te escuchen. Grita tus advertencias pero no esperes que respondan. Diles: 'Esta es la nación cuyo pueblo no obedecerá el Señor su Dios y que rehúsan ser enseñados (Jeremías 7:27) (Este es un hijo del diablo) Porque Dios es Espíritu, así que los que le adoran, en espíritu y en verdad es necesario que adoren. “Juan 4:24 Presentad vuestros cuerpos como sacrificio vivo, santo, agradable a Dios, que es vuestro culto espiritual. Romanos 12:1-2 La verdad es la Torá de Dios Debes ser guiado por el Espíritu Gal 5:18

How "First Day of the Week" Entered the Text The phrase "first day of the week" found in modern English Bibles is not a direct translation of the original text. It is a calculated linguistic substitution designed to align the Scriptures with a Roman calendar system rather than the Creator's calendar. The Confrontation: "You base an entire doctrine of Sunday worship on a handful of resurrection verses, claiming the Master changed the day of rest. But you are basing your theology on a translation choices made centuries later. When you pull back the English cover and look at the original manuscripts, the phrase 'Sunday' or 'first day of the week' completely vanishes. Read Matthew 28:1 and John 20:1." The Verse: * Matthew 28:1 (Literal Greek): "Ὀψὲ δὲ σαββάτων, τῇ ἐπιφωσκούσῃ εἰς μίαν σαββάτων..." * King James Version (With added words): "In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week..." The Shock: "The literal text completely dismantles the traditional Sunday narrative: The Original Greek: In every single resurrection account, the manuscripts do not contain the words for 'first day of the week.' The text explicitly reads mia tōn sabbatōn (μία τῶν σαββάτων), which literally translates to 'the first of the Sabbaths.' This is direct Hebrew covenant language referencing the countdown of the seven weekly Sabbaths leading up to Pentecost (Leviticus 23:15). The Ancient Translations: The earliest historical translations kept this link intact. Jerome’s Latin Vulgate (382 AD) rendered it literally as 'Una autem sabbati' ('The first of the Sabbath'). Wycliffe’s English Bible (1382) followed suit, translating it straight as 'one day of the sabotis' ('one day of the Sabbaths'). The 16th-Century Shift: The change occurred in the 1500s with William Tyndale and was later formalized by the King James Version in 1611. Translators swapped out 'Sabbath' for the idiom 'first day of the week' to match the Roman solar calendar. To force this interpretation, the KJV translators had to insert the words 'day of the' in italics, openly admitting those words do not exist in the Greek manuscripts. The Bottom Line: The phrase 'first day of the week' is a later human modification. The original accounts do not inaugurate a new day of worship; they explicitly anchor the resurrection timeline directly to the Hebrew Sabbath calendar." The Sign of the Sabbath Exodus 31:14 (Numbers 15:32–36) 12 And the LORD said to Moses, 13“Tell the Israelites, ‘Surely you must keep My Sabbaths, for this will be a sign between Me and you for the generations to come, so that you may know that I am the LORD who sanctifies you. 14 Keep the Sabbath, for it is holy to you. (Anyone who profanes it must surely be put to death. ) "Christians must not judaize by resting on the Sabbath, but must work on that day, rather honoring the Lord's Day; and, if they can, resting then as Christians. But if any shall be found to be judaizers, let them be anathema from Christ." 1910 (Modern Doctrinal Exposition – The Convert’s Catechism): Peter Geiermann’s Catechism: Formally affirmed the Church’s exercise of ecclesiastical authority in altering the day of worship: Q: Which is the Sabbath day? A: Saturday is the Sabbath day. Q: Why do we observe Sunday instead of Saturday? A: We observe Sunday instead of Saturday because the Catholic Church transferred the solemnity from Saturday to Sunday. Present Official Doctrine (Catechism of the Catholic Church): Paragraph 2175: Summarizes the official theological rationale—defining Sunday as a distinct observance that supersedes and spiritually fulfills the seventh day: And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and he entered, as his custom was, into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up to read. Luk3 4:16 So when the Jews went out of the synagogue, the Gentiles begged that these words might be preached to them the next Sabbath . ACTS 1 The mark of God Is the Sabbath 777 is found on the Sabbath Genesis 2:1-3 2 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. 2 And on the seventh day God finished the work that he had done, and he rested on the seventh day from all the work that he had done. 3 So God blessed the seventh day and made it holy because on it God rested from all the work that he had done in creation. There are three elements to a legal seal. The name, His Title, His territory Exodus 20:8-11 God seal/sign 8 “Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. 9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is a sabbath to the Lord your God . On it, you shall not do any work , neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your male or female servant, nor your animals, nor any foreigner residing in your towns. 11 For in six days the Lord he made (creator) heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy. El sábado se menciona 85 veces solo en actos. 37 Versículos de la Biblia sobre el sábado, en NT ¿El Nuevo Testamento abolió el Sábado? Este día de descanso, dice Jesús, está hecho para los humanos (Marcos 2:27). Jesús se proclama a sí mismo como 'Señor del sábado. Este señorío no abolió el sábado, porque ¿por qué Jesús aboliría algo sobre lo cual Él mismo se proclama gobernante? – sino que, en cambio, refuerza su vitalidad para la vida. Sábado y la Resurrección No hay lugar en toda la Biblia donde encontrará versículos que cambien el sábado del séptimo día al domingo, ¿por qué no le molesta cuando adora en un día diferente al día que Dios santificó y recordar? Es el cuarto mandamiento. La mayoría de los cristianos apuntan a Romanos 14 como texto de prueba sobre el cambio del día de reposo, sin embargo, no encontrará la palabra sábado escrita en el libro. No se equivoque, Dios le permitirá desafiarlo y desobedecerlo. Él te permitirá seguir la multitud y las tradiciones de los hombres. Él te permitirá pecar. Pero también dice que se acerca el día del juicio final. ¡Así como siembras, así cosecharás! Es interesante notar que solo hay un día de la semana al que el Padre le da un nombre, el Sábado, el séptimo día. Todos los demás días son números. Ezequiel 22: 26 Sus sacerdotes (Tus pastores) han violado Mi ley y han profanado Mis cosas santas; no han hecho distinción entre lo santo y lo profano, y no han enseñado la diferencia entre lo inmundo y lo limpio; y esconden sus ojos de Mis días de reposo, y Yo soy profanado entre ellos. 27 Sus príncipes dentro de ella son como lobos que arrebatan presa, derramando sangre y destruyendo vidas para obtener ganancias deshonestas.… Ezequiel 20:12También les di Mis sábados por señal entre Yo y ellos, para que supieran que Yo soy Yehovah que los santifico. ¿Cómo puede alguien ser santificado sin guardar el sábado? Éxodo 20:9 “Acuérdate del día de reposo para santificarlo. Seis días trabajarás y harás toda tu obra, pero el séptimo día es sábado de Yehovah tu Dios. ninguna obra harás en ella, tú, ni tu hijo, ni tu hija, ni tu siervo, ni tu sierva, ni tu ganado, ni tu extranjero que está dentro de tus puertas. Porque en seis días hizo Yehovah los cielos y la tierra, el mar y todo lo que en ellos hay, y descansó el séptimo día. Por tanto, Yehovah bendijo el día de reposo y lo santificó” (Éxodo 20:8-11). 1 Pedro 1:15 Antes bien, como el Santo que os llamó, sed también vosotros santos en toda vuestra conducta; porque está escrito, "SERÉIS SANTOS, PORQUE YO SOY SANTO". ● Levítico 20:26 'Así seréis santos para mí, porque santo soy yo, Yehovah; y os he apartado de los pueblos para que seáis míos. “Yehovah os ha declarado hoy como Su pueblo, (ISRAEL) una posesión preciosa, como os prometió, y que debéis guardar todos Sus mandamientos; y que te exaltará sobre todas las naciones que ha hecho, para alabanza, fama y honra; y que seréis un pueblo consagrado a Yehovah, vuestro Elohim, como El ha dicho.” Los Discípulos guardaron el Sábado 85 Veces en el libro de los Hechos. Hechos 20:6-7 Pero nosotros navegamos de Filipos después de la fiesta de los panes sin levadura, y cinco días después nos reunimos con los demás en Troas, donde estuvimos siete días. El primer día de la semana nos reunimos para partir el pan. Pablo habló a la gente y, como pensaba irse al día siguiente, siguió hablando hasta la medianoche. El versículo 7 dice, en inglés, que los apóstoles se reunieron el primer día de la semana, lo que implica para muchos que el día de reposo es ahora el primer día de la semana. Ya que este versículo se usa para defender el domingo como el nuevo día de reposo, veamos el versículo griego, donde el versículo 7 dice “primer día de la semana”. El griego dice, en realidad... mia ton sabaton La palabra griega mia significa "uno", no "primero"... es la palabra griega 'protos' que significa "primero", que no está presente en el texto. No podemos hacer que diga algo que no dice... De hecho, se traduce como "uno de los sábados". Plural. No "primer día de la semana". Singular.". Este es un gran error de traducción que se ha aceptado abiertamente como verdad a lo largo de los años. La iglesia moderna reconoce que el día de la resurrección de Yeshua es el domingo. Veamos realmente qué día resucitó Yeshua. Mateo 20:40 Porque así como estuvo Jonás en el vientre del gran pez tres días y tres noches, así estará el Hijo del Hombre en el corazón de la tierra tres días y tres noches. Juan 11:9 Yeshua respondió: “¿No son las doce horas del día? Si alguno camina de día, no tropezará, porque ve con la luz de este mundo. 10 Pero si alguno camina de noche, tropezará, porque no tiene luz. … Aquí hay algo para reflexionar. ¿Cómo puedes obtener 3 días y 3 noches o 72 horas desde el Viernes Santo hasta la resurrección del domingo por la mañana? Si haces cuentas, habría resucitado el lunes. La lógica de la iglesia moderna de cambiar el sábado por el domingo no es cierta, ya que los servicios de Resurrección deben celebrarse el lunes por la tarde. Dios solo dio el séptimo día un nombre, todos los demás días estaban contados. Si te fijas bien verás que están hablando de comer y recibir al que es débil en la fe, pero no de disputar sobre cosas dudosas. Hay al menos 10 veces que menciona comer. El contexto aquí es el ayuno, el versículo les dice que no importa qué día eligieron ayunar. Yeshua dice cuando ayunamos, no si tú ayunas. Romanos 14:5 Uno estima un día más que otro; otro estima todos los días iguales. Que cada uno esté plenamente convencido en su propia mente. Mateo 6:16-18 “Y cuando ayunéis, no os pongáis tristes como los hipócritas, que desfiguran sus rostros para que los demás vean su ayuno. De cierto os digo que han recibido su recompensa. Pero cuando ayunes, unge tu cabeza y lava tu rostro, para que tu ayuno no sea visto por otros, sino por tu Padre que está en secreto. Y tu Padre que ve en lo secreto te recompensará”. Salmo 35:13-14 “Me vestí de cilicio; me afligí con el ayuno; Oré con la cabeza inclinada sobre mi pecho. Iba como si tuviera pena por mi amigo o mi hermano; como quien lamenta a su madre, me postré en duelo”.
