"If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left." Option 1: Direct & Natural (Engaging Study Guide) Scripture Reference: Hebrews 10:26 "If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left." What is "Willful Sin"? In this setting, willful sin means knowingly and permanently turning your back on Yeshua. It warns those who fully understand the truth yet consciously choose to walk away and reject Him. Why "No Sacrifice Remains": Yeshua is the Father's ultimate, complete, and final offering for human sin. Once an individual rejects Yeshua, there is no second savior, no Levitical altar to run back to, and no alternate plan of Option 3: Side-by-Side Clarification (Common Misconceptions vs. Biblical Meaning) What It Does Not Mean What the Scripture Actually Teaches It does not mean someone loses their standing because they stumble into ordinary human failure or daily struggles. It specifically warns against apostasy—a settled, deliberate decision to abandon faith in Yeshua entirely. It does not mean the Father refuses repentance from a contrite heart seeking forgiveness. It addresses those who knowingly treat Yeshua’s blood as unholy, leaving themselves with no other sacrifice to cover their sins. Proponents emphasize that Yehovah (יְהֹוָה) is not a 16th-century Christian invention. It is documented with full pointing in over 1,000 Hebrew Bible manuscripts, including prominent early texts like the Leningrad Codex and the Aleppo Codex. They argue Masoretic scribes who guarded letter-by-letter accuracy would not have recorded "mistaken" vowels across centurie The Consonants (יהוה / YHWH): Appear 6,828 times in the Hebrew Masoretic Text. In the Dead Sea Scrolls (dating 2,000+ years ago), scribes often wrote these four consonants in archaic Paleo-Hebrew script to set the sacred Name apart from the surrounding square Aramaic-Hebrew script. 1,000 times across other medieval manuscripts), while the shortened two-vowel form served as the standard scribal reminder (qere perpetuum) to pronounce "Adonai".

- Are you Born again | Answers 4 Saints
Are you Born again Worship God in Spirit and Truth The Gospel Deuteronomy 13 TEST Are you a true Christian? John 3:16 says: “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” Meaning: “God so loved the world” — God's love extends to all people. “He gave his one and only Son” — God sent His Son for the salvation of mankind. “Whoever believes in him” — The promise is available to anyone who places their faith and trust in Him. “Shall not perish” — Believers are delivered from eternal separation from God. “But have eternal life” — They receive everlasting life with God. Simple Summary: John 3:16 teaches that God loved humanity so much that He gave His Son so that those who believe in Him may receive eternal life rather than perish. Context: These words were spoken by Jesus during a conversation with Nicodemus about the necessity of being born again and entering the Kingdom of God. Are you Born again Yes, that is a profound structural truth in God's plan. Yeshua was literally the first human to be physically raised from the dead into an immortal, glorified body. Scripture calls Him "the firstborn from the dead" (Colossians 1:18) and the "firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep" (1 Corinthians 15:20). By looking at Christ's physical resurrection, we get the exact blueprint for what happens to the saints. The Pattern: Firstfruits and the Harvest In the biblical agricultural cycle—which God uses to explain His plan of salvation—the priest would wave the single sheaf of the Firstfruits harvest before the Father. Only after that first sheaf was accepted could the rest of the harvest be gathered. Yeshua fulfilled this perfectly. He rose as the perfect Firstfruits. Because He broke the power of physical death, those who belong to Him will follow the exact same pattern when He returns. The Ultimate Transformation When the saints are raised at His second coming, they don't return as temporary, mortal flesh like Lazarus did. They receive a physical, permanent, immortal body just like the one Yeshua walked out of the tomb with. As Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 15:52-53: "...the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality." Connecting Physical Resurrection to the Law This physical reality hits modern church traditions with an undeniable challenge: If Yeshua is the firstborn of a brand-new creation, and we are waiting to be physically raised into glorified bodies just like His, why would we live our temporary lives in rebellion to the laws He obeyed? When Yeshua walked the earth in His physical body, He perfectly kept the Sabbath, the dietary laws, and the Feasts. When He rose from the dead, He didn't change. For a Christian to claim they are waiting to inherit a resurrection body like Christ's, while actively treating His Father's commandments as dead, is a total disconnect. "Yeshua told Nicodemus that what is born of the flesh is flesh, and what is born of the Spirit is spirit, moving like the wind. If you claim you are already fully 'born again' right now, why are you still trapped in a temporary body of flesh and blood instead of a glorified, immortal spirit body? Are you confusing the earnest promise of the Holy Spirit inside you today with the actual, physical rebirth that only happens at the resurrection of the dead?" Jesus Teaches Nicodemus 3 Now there was a Pharisee, a man named Nicodemus who was a member of the Jewish ruling council. 2 He came to Jesus at night and said, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the signs you are doing if God were not with him.” 3 Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.[ a ]” 4 “How can someone be born when they are old?” Nicodemus asked. “Surely they cannot enter a second time into their mother’s womb to be born!” 5 Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit. 6 Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit[ b ] gives birth to spirit. 7 You should not be surprised at my saying, ‘You[ c ] must be born again.’ 8 The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.”[ d ] 9 “How can this be?” Nicodemus asked. 10 “You are Israel’s teacher,” said Jesus, “and do you not understand these things? 11 Very truly I tell you, we speak of what we know, and we testify to what we have seen, but still you people do not accept our testimony. 12 I have spoken to you of earthly things and you do not believe; how then will you believe if I speak of heavenly things? 13 No one has ever gone into heaven except the one who came from heaven—the Son of Man.[ e ] 14 Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up,[f ] 15 that everyone who believes may have eternal life in him.” Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart, and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. 1. "Trust in the LORD with all thine heart" Meaning: Total dependence on God, not self-reliance (Prov 28:26). Insight: Relational surrender to God’s unchanging character. 2. "And lean not unto thine own understanding" Meaning: Reject intellectual pride; human wisdom is flawed (Prov 14:12). 3. "In all thy ways acknowledge him" Meaning: Constant God-consciousness in every area (Col 3:17). Insight: Turns daily life into guided obedience. 4. "And he shall direct thy paths" Meaning: God’s promise of sovereign guidance (Ps 37:23).
- Mystery Babylon | Answers 4 Saints
Who is Mystery Babylon? The Fall of Babylon the Great 1 After these things I saw another angel coming down from heaven, having great authority, and the earth was illuminated with his glory. 2 And he cried mightily with a loud voice, saying, “Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and has become a dwelling place of demons, a prison for every foul spirit, and a cage for every unclean and hated bird! 3 For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich through the abundance of her luxury.” 4 And I heard another voice from heaven saying, “Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues. 5 For her sins have reached heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities. 6 Render to her just as she rendered to you, and repay her double according to her works; in the cup which she has mixed, mix double for her. 7 In the measure that she glorified herself and lived luxuriously, in the same measure give her torment and sorrow; for she says in her heart, ‘I sit as queen, and am no widow, and will not see sorrow.’ 8 Therefore her plagues will come in one day—death and mourning and famine. And she will be utterly burned with fire, for strong is the Lord God who judges her. The World Mourns Babylon’s Fall 9“The kings of the earth who committed fornication and lived luxuriously with her will weep and lament for her, when they see the smoke of her burning, 10standing at a distance for fear of her torment, saying, ‘Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! For in one hour your judgment has come.’ 11“And the merchants of the earth will weep and mourn over her, for no one buys their merchandise any more: 12merchandise of gold and silver, precious stones and pearls, fine linen and purple, silk and scarlet, every kind of citron wood, every kind of object of ivory, every kind of object of most precious wood, bronze, iron, and marble; 13 and cinnamon and incense, fragrant oil and frankincense, wine and oil, fine flour and wheat, cattle and sheep, horses and chariots, and bodies and souls of men. 14 The fruit that your soul longed for has gone from you, and all the things which are rich and splendid have gone from you, and you shall find them no more at all. 15 The merchants of these things, who became rich by her, will stand at a distance for fear of her torment, weeping and wailing, 16and saying, ‘Alas, alas, that great city that was clothed in fine linen, purple, and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls! 17 For in one hour such great riches came to nothing.’ Every shipmaster, all who travel by ship, sailors, and as many as trade on the sea, stood at a distance 18 and cried out when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, ‘What is like this great city?’ 19“They threw dust on their heads and cried out, weeping and wailing, and saying, ‘Alas, alas, that great city, in which all who had ships on the sea became rich by her wealth! For in one hour, she is made desolate.’ 20“Rejoice over her, O heaven, and you holy apostles and prophets, for God, has avenged you on her!” Finality of Babylon’s Fall 21 Then a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and threw it into the sea, saying, “Thus with violence, the great city Babylon shall be thrown down, and shall not be found anymore. 22 The sound of harpists, musicians, flutists, and trumpeters shall not be heard in you anymore. No craftsman of any craft shall be found in you anymore, and the sound of a millstone shall not be heard in you anymore. 23 The light of a lamp shall not shine in you anymore, and the voice of bridegroom and bride shall not be heard in you anymore. For your merchants were the great men of the earth, for by your sorcery all the nations were deceived. 24 And in her was found the blood of prophets and saints, and of all who were slain on the earth.”
- Deflections | Answers 4 Saints
Paul told us to test all things to see if they were from God. do they include His law? Deflections are the Greatest sin The shortest verse in the English Bible is "Jesus wept" found in John 11:35. It has only 10 letters and two words. In Luke, Jesus weeps (eklausen, meaning to sob aloud) as he enters Jerusalem. He grieves because the people rejected his offer of peace, refused to turn to God, and would soon face destruction as a consequence. In short, the devil's deflection on Matthew 5:18–19 works by convincing people that taking Yeshua’s exact words seriously is somehow a violation of his grace. It redirects the mind from humble obedience to theological technicalities that excuse setting aside the commands. Matthew 17-19 17 Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets. I have not come to abolish them, but to fulfill them. 18 For 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 everything is accomplished. 19 So then, whoever breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do likewise will be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever practices and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.… Prof the law was fulfilled by Yeshua: He was the only person in the entire Bible that never sinned, He showed us how to love Yehovah the creator ,He showed how to love our fellow man , He show us how to keep the Sabbath Holy, He never ate anything unclean, and He always kept all of Yehovah appointed . "It is easy to claim the name of Christ, but true discipleship is shown through obedience. Many claim to follow Him while actively living against everything He commanded." John 3:36 ("whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him") I have not come to abolish them , 1 John 3:8, which states that "whoever makes a practice of sinning is of the devil". Ecclesiastes 12:13 –– "Fear God and keep His commandments, for this is man’s all. Proverbs 28:9: " He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination. 1 John 2:4, w hich says: "Whoever says 'I know him' but does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in that person." John 14:15 "If you love me, you will keep my commandments" Matthew 19:17 , "If you want to enter life, keep the commandments". Revelation 12:17. The text states that the dragon (identified as the devil and Satan) was angry with the woman and went to make war with the rest of her offspring—defined as those who keep God's commandments Revelation 13:7 , which states that the beast empowered by the dragon was allowed "to make war with the saints, and to overcome will be called least in the kingdom of heaven; Luke 7: 28 I tell you, among those born of women there is no one greater than John; yet the one who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.” Matthew 11:11 Verily I say unto you, among them that are born of women, there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist; notwithstanding, he that is least in the Kingdom of Heaven is greater than he. (Because no one on earth has been to heaven ) The Core Connection When people deflect Scripture, they usually do not burn the Bible; instead, they remove the commands they find uncomfortable by declaring them "least" or obsolete, or they add human loopholes to bypass God's true intent (as Yeshua rebuked in Mark 7:9–13). Matthew 5:18–19 makes clear that in God's eyes, even what humans consider "least" remains fully binding. Below are the primary biblical passages that explicitly prohibit adding to, taking away from, or modifying God's word and commandments: Here is the complete, unified breakdown bringing together every point—from altering words, names, and titles to adopting pagan holidays, eating unclean, rejecting God's appointments, and profaning the Sabbath—and the explicit judgments Scripture attaches to them. The Deflection: Weaponizing Grace The core deception pits Yeshua’s salvation against his instructions—tricking believers into viewing obedience as "legalism" rather than the natural fruit of love. 1. Redefining "Fulfill" (Matt. 5:17) The Trick: Treating "fulfill" as "terminate and throw away." The Reality: In first-century Hebrew idiom, to fulfill meant to correctly interpret and live out the Torah's full intent. Yeshua came to demonstrate how to keep it, not to dismiss it. 2. False Dichotomy: "Love vs. Rules" The Trick : Framing commands as rigid legalism and "love" as abstract freedom. The Reality: Yeshua defined love through action: "If you love me, keep my commands" (John 14:15). The commands define what love looks like in practice. 3. Perverting Grace The Trick : Rebranding grace as an excuse for apathy toward God's standards. The Reality: Grace is divine empowerment (Titus 2:11–12). It cleanses the past and transforms the heart so obedience becomes a joy. 4. Theological Loopholes The Trick: Using complex technicalities to bypass Matthew 5:18–19. The Reality: It creates a state where people cite treatises to excuse setting aside the very commands Yeshua warned never to relax. The Ultimate Irony: It turns distrust of Yeshua's direct words into a false badge of "spiritual maturity," making people feel enlightened precisely because they have explained away the Sermon on the Mount.

Altering God's Word & Loss of Eternal Life Directly modifying, taking away from, or adding human commentary to the text forfeits access to eternal inheritance: Revelation 22:18–19 "If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to that person the plagues described in this scroll. And if anyone takes words away from this scroll... God will take away from that person any share in the tree of life and in the Holy City..." The Judgment: Direct assignment of written plagues and removal of one's name/share from the Tree of Life and the Heavenly City. 2. Deception, Changing Truth, and the Lake of Fire Creating false doctrines, fabricating traditions, or distorting scriptural facts places a person under the category of deception: Revelation 21:8 & Proverbs 30:6 "...and all liars—they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur... Do not add to his words, or he will rebuke you and prove you a liar." The Judgment: Divine rebuke, public exposure as a deceiver, and final condemnation in the Lake of Fire alongside those who reject God's authority. 3. Profaning and Substituting the Sacred Names Erasing, changing, or replacing the covenant name Yehovah (יְהוָה) or the redemptive name Yeshua (יֵשׁוُעַ) with human alternatives violates the core command regarding His identity: Exodus 20:7 & Jeremiah 23:26–27 "You shall not take the name of the Lord [Yehovah] your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless... who try to make My people forget My name..." The Judgment: Being held guilty before the heavenly court and suffering spiritual blindness for lowering His divine identity to human tradition. 4. Adopting Pagan Holidays & Mixing Worship Customs Importing pagan customs, celebrations, and cultural holidays into the worship of the Creator is explicitly condemned as adding to His word: Deuteronomy 12:30–32 "Be careful not to be ensnared... saying, 'How do these nations serve their gods? We will do likewise.' You must not worship the Lord your God in their way... do not add to it or take away from it." The Judgment: Falling into spiritual entrapment and practicing what God classifies as a detestable abomination. 5. Eating Unclean Things & Rejecting Purity Instructions Dismissing God's dietary laws in favor of personal appetite or cultural preference is identified as active rebellion against His sanctification: Isaiah 66:15–17 "For behold, the Lord will come with fire... Those who sanctify themselves... eating swine’s flesh and the abomination and the mouse, shall be consumed together, says the Lord." The Judgment: Facing direct destruction alongside the lawless at the return of the Lord. 6. Rejecting God's Appointed Times (Moedim) Substituting man-made religious calendars and holidays for the eternal appointed feasts listed in Leviticus 23 leads to divine abandonment: Leviticus 23:2, 14 & Hosea 2:11 "The appointed times of the Lord... shall be a statute forever... I will also cause all her mirth to cease, her feast days, her New Moons, her Sabbaths, and all her appointed feasts." The Judgment: Withdrawal of true spiritual insight, leaving individuals in empty, powerless religious ritual. 7. Profaning the Seventh-Day Sabbath Setting aside, altering, or declaring God's holy Sabbath done away with is highlighted as a primary trigger for divine wrath: Ezekiel 22:26, 31 "Her priests have violated My law... they have hidden their eyes from My Sabbaths, so that I am profaned among them... Therefore I have poured out My indignation on them; I have consumed them with the fire of My wrath." The Judgment: Complete loss of God's presence, exposure to spiritual deception, and direct divine indignation.

Revelation 22:18–19 (NKJV) 18 "For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book;" 19 "and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book." Actions & Consequences Deuteronomy 4:2 & 12:32 Adding to or taking away from divine decrees Inability to truly keep the Lord’s commandments Proverbs 30:6 Adding human thoughts or rules to God's words Divine rebuke and being found a liar Matthew 5:19 Loosening or removing the "least" command Called least in the kingdom of heaven Revelation 22:18–19 Adding to or removing text from prophetic revelation Receiving the plagues written in the book; removal from the Book of Life Jeremiah 26:2: The Command to Declare the Whole Word Without Diminishing It In Jeremiah 26:2, God explicitly commands the prophet Jeremiah to speak His message in its entirety, warning him against holding back or softening a single word to accommodate human sensitivities. Jeremiah 26:2 (NKJV) "Thus says the LORD: 'Stand in the court of the LORD’s house, and speak to all the cities of Judah, who come to worship in the LORD’s house, all the words that I command you to speak to them. Do not diminish a word.'" Key Insights from the Text "Do Not Diminish a Word": The Hebrew word used for "diminish" is gara, which means to subtract, withhold, trim down, or take away. God specifically instructs that not a single word can be removed or softened to make the message more comfortable or acceptable to the hearers. The Setting (The Temple Court): Jeremiah was sent to the very place where religious people gathered to worship. The warning was given directly to the religious leaders and worshippers who were inclined to selectively accept God's comfort while deflecting His warnings. The Purpose of Uncompromising Truth (Jeremiah 26:3): God explains why every word must be delivered without subtraction: "Perhaps everyone will listen and turn from his evil way, that I may relent concerning the calamity which I purpose to bring on them because of the evil of their doings." Trimming or diminishing God's warning deprives people of the chance to fully understand their standing and genuinely repent. Parallel Warnings Against Withholding God's Word PassageThe Command / PrincipleThe Severity Jeremiah 26:2"Do not diminish a word."Withholding truth prevents genuine repentance. Ezekiel 3:17–18The watchman must warn the wicked with God's exact words.If the watchman fails to warn them, their blood is required at his hand. Acts 20:26–27 Paul declares: "I am innocent of the blood of all men. For I have not shunned to declare to you the whole counsel of God."True faithfulness requires delivering the entire truth without omitting difficult doctrines. Scriptural Definitions of Misusing or Deflecting God's Word The Bible addresses several ways people reject, distort, or deflect Scripture rather than submitting to it: Wresting / Distortion (Strebloo): Taking Scripture out of its intended context to force a desired outcome or opinion. Substituting Human Tradition: Setting aside explicit commandments in favor of human traditions or personal rationalizations. Partial Obedience: Accepting passages that align with personal desires while ignoring or explaining away inconvenient commandments. Pharisaical Deflection: Using theological debates or legalistic technicalities to evade the underlying moral principles of God's law. Key Scriptures & Warnings Scripture Reference Concept / Action Theological Consequence / Punishment 2 Peter 3:16 Distortion ("untaught and unstable people twist [Scripture] to their own destruction")Spiritual ruin and destruction. Mark 7:8–13 Setting aside God's word for human tradition ("making the word of God of no effect")Hypocrisy; spiritual blindness and rejection by God. Revelation 22:18–19 Adding to or taking away from prophetic words Loss of share in the tree of life; receiving the plagues described. Galatians 1:8–9 Preaching a modified or perverted gospelCondemnation (Anathema / eternal separation). Matthew 7:21–23 Hearing or using Scripture without practicing obedience Rejection by Christ at final judgment ("I never knew you; depart from me"). Matthew 5:18–19 addresses the authority, permanence, and obligation of God's law, specifically warning against setting aside or misrepresenting even the smallest part of Scripture. Matthew 5:18–19 ( NKJV) 18 "For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled. 19 "Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven." Breakdown & Key Definitions Permanence of Scripture ("Jot" and "Tittle"): Jot (Yod ): The smallest letter in the Hebrew alphabet. Tittle: The minute stroke or pen-mark that distinguishes similar Hebrew letters. Meaning: Jesus emphasizes that every minute detail of God's word is intentional, authoritative, and enduring. None of it can be discarded or treated as obsolete. The Act of Deflecting or Relaxing the Law: Verse 19 explicitly addresses those who "break" (Greek: luo, meaning to loosen, dissolve, set aside, or declare non-binding) the commandments and "teach men so" (leading others to minimize or deflect those instructions). The Consequences & Judgment Action / Stance Toward ScriptureDirect Consequence (Verse 19) Loosening, ignoring, or teaching others to minimize even the smallest commandment"Shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven" Practicing and teaching the fullness of God's commandments"Shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven" The Biblical Prohibition Against Adding or Removing Scripture repeatedly warns that altering God's word —whether by addition, subtraction, or reclassifying what is "least" or "greatest"—is a severe offense against divine authority. Key Scriptures on Adding and Subtracting Deuteronomy 4:2 & 12:32: "You shall not add to the word which I command you, nor take from it, that you may keep the commandments of the Lord your God..." Proverbs 30:5–6: "Every word of God is pure... Do not add to His words, lest He rebuke you, and you be found a liar." Revelation 22:18–19: "If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book; and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life..." How "Adding and Removing" Relates to "Least and Greatest" In Matthew 5:18–19, Yeshua bridges these concepts by declaring that not even a single "jot or tittle" (the smallest strokes of text) can be removed. Passage Action Status / Consequence Matthew 5:19 Loosening / Removing the "Least": Breaking or setting aside small commandments and teaching others to treat them as irrelevant."Called least in the kingdom of heaven" Matthew 5:19 Upholding All: Keeping and teaching both major principles and minor commands faithful to God's intent."Called great in the kingdom of heaven" Proverbs 30:6 Adding Human Doctrines: Elevating human traditions or extra-biblical rules to the level of Scripture.Rebuked by God; found to be a liar Revelation 22:19Removing / Stripping Scripture: Erasing, deleting, or outright rejecting parts of God's revealed word.Loss of share in the tree of life and holy city The Core Connection When people deflect Scripture, they usually do not burn the Bible; instead, they remove the commands they find uncomfortable by declaring them "least" or obsolete, or they add human loopholes to bypass God's true intent (as Yeshua rebuked in Mark 7:9–13). Matthew 5:18–19 makes clear that in God's eyes, even what humans consider "least" remains fully binding. Jesus on Human Tradition vs. God's Commandments In Matthew 15:1–9 and Mark 7:1–13,Yeshua directly confronts religious leaders for using human tradition to bypass, void, or deflect explicit Scripture. The Primary Passages Matthew 15:3, 6, 8–9 (NKJV) 3 "He answered and said to them, 'Why do you also transgress the commandment of God because of your tradition?'... 6 'Then he need not honor his father or mother.' Thus you have made the commandment of God of no effect by your tradition... 8 'These people draw near to Me with their mouth, and honor Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me. 9 And in vain they worship Me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.'" How Deflection Works: The "Corban" Example (Mark 7:9–13) Yeshua singles out a specific practice of Deflecting to show how people legally manipulate language to void God's law: Summary of Consequences Method of Distortion Spiritual Outcome Scriptural Reference Substituting tradition for Scripture Worship becomes in vain (useless before God)Matthew 15:9 Using religious loopholes to avoid duty Transgressing God's direct commandments Matthew 15:3 Elevating human rules over divine intent Laying aside and nullifying God's wordMark 7:8, 13 The Authority and Integrity of Matthew 5:18 Matthew 5:18 stands as one of the strongest statements in Scripture regarding the absolute preservation, authority, and unchangeable nature of God's word. Matthew 5:18 (NKJV) "For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled." Core Warnings Embedded in Matthew 5:18 Warning Against Erasing "Minor" Details: By pointing to the yod (smallest letter) and tittle (smallest stroke of a pen), Yeshua warns that no detail of God’s word is irrelevant, dispensable, or open to human erasure. Warning Against Human Expiration Dates: The phrase "till heaven and earth pass away" establishes that human cultures, opinions, or changing times do not have the authority to declare God's law expired or invalid. Warning Against Partial Fulfillment: The law remains fully authoritative until "all is fulfilled." Attempting to dismiss portions of Scripture before God’s complete redemption plan is realized is a direct violation of Christ’s standard. Cross-References: The Immutable Nature of Scripture Scripture Reference Parallel Concept Consequence / Warning Isaiah 40:8 "The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever. "Human systems perish; God's word remains permanently standing. Matthew 24:35 / Luke 21:33"Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will by no means pass away ."Absolute guarantee that divine instruction outlasts the physical universe. Psalm 119:89 "Forever, O Lord, Your word is settled in heaven."Scripture is fixed by divine decree, beyond human alteration or deflection. Luke 16:17 "And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one tittle of the law to fail."The total reliability of Scripture; not even the smallest mark can fail to perform its purpose. The Warning Applied: Deflection vs. Submission When Matthew 5:18 is paired with verse 19, the warning becomes personal: anyone who attempts to "relax," "loosen," or deflect even the smallest part of God's word—or who teaches others that minor commands do not matter—places themselves in direct opposition to Christ’s declaration of the law's permanence. In Matthew 5:17–18, Jesus clarifies His relationship to the Old Testament, ensuring His followers understand He came neither to abolish Scripture nor to permit people to ignore its commands. Matthew 5:17–18 (NKJV) 17 "Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. 18 For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled." Four Ways Christ Fulfills the Law and the Prophets 1. Perfect Obedience (Moral & Righteous Fulfillment): Yeshua lived a sinless life, keeping every detail of the Law—down to every "jot and tittle"—without failure (1 Peter 2:22, Hebrews 4:15). Where human tradition bypassed God’s intent, Yeshua upheld its absolute moral purity. 2. Prophetic Completion (Messianic Fulfillment): Yeshua fulfilled hundreds of Old Testament prophecies, types, and shadows regarding the Messiah—from His birth and ministry to His sacrificial death and resurrection (Luke 24:44). 3. The Ultimate Sacrifice (Sacrificial & Ceremonial Fulfillment): The ceremonial laws, animal sacrifices, and priesthood were shadows pointing forward to Christ. By offering Himself as the perfect, once-for-all sacrifice (Hebrews 10:1–10), He brought the penal demands of the ritual law to their intended completion. 4. Revealing Full Intent (Deeper Spiritual Meaning): In the rest of Matthew 5 (the "Sermon on the Mount"), Yeshua demonstrates what fulfilling the law looks like in practice. He goes beyond outward compliance to address the heart: showing that murder begins with hatred, adultery begins with lust, and partiality violates love (Matthew 5:21–48). Summary Matrix: Fulfill vs. Abolish False Assumption ("Destroy / Abolish")Biblical Realit y ("Fulfill")Scriptural Context Erasing the Old Testament commands Bringing them to their complete, intended goal Matthew 5:17 Declaring Scripture obsolete or unimportant Establishing its eternal authority and moral depth Romans 3:31 Setting aside the strict demands of God Satisfying those demands fully through Christ In Romans 10:4, Paul addresses the ultimate goal and resolution of God's law, resolving how Christ relates to the righteous demands of Scripture. Romans 10:4 (NKJV) "For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes." Understanding "End" (Telos) The Greek word used here for "end" is telos. It does not mean "destruction," "abolition," or "termination," but rather: Goal or Target: The destination toward which the Law was always pointing (like the "end" of a journey). Fulfillment / Completion: The realization of the Law’s ultimate design and purpose. Consummation: The bringing of something to its intended final state. Three Key Theological Dimensions 1. Christ as the Target (The Goal of the Law): The Law was never designed to be an end in itself; it was a tutor or guardian intended to lead people to Christ by revealing God's absolute holiness and human inability to achieve perfection (Galatians 3:24). Christ is the target the Law aimed at all along. 2. Christ as Righteousness (Ending Self-Righteousness): Human beings often attempt to deflect or twist Scripture to construct their own system of merit. Romans 10:3–4 directly contrasts two ways of seeking righteousness: Human Effort / Self-Righteousness Divine Righteousness in Christ Attempting to keep the Law to earn salvation Receiving the righteousness of God as a gift through faith Lowering or distorting commands to fit human limits Relying on Christ’s total, perfect keeping of every "jot and tittle" Seeking righteousness by personal performance Receiving righteousness by believing in Christ (Romans 3:21–22) 3. Termination of the Law as a Means of Justification: While the moral truth of God's word remains eternal (Matthew 5:18), Christ ended the Law's role as a system for securing acceptance before God. Believers are no longer under the condemnation or curse of the Law (Romans 8:1, Galatians 3:13), because Christ satisfied its requirements on their behalf. The Law as "Guardrails" Against Sin The metaphor of the Law as a set of guardrails aligns closely with how Scripture describes God's commandments: they establish clear boundaries to expose danger, keep individuals from veering into sin, and protect them from destruction. The role of keeping Christ’s commandments True believers do keep His commandments. Yeshua said, “If you love me, you will keep my commandments” (John 14:15). 1 John repeatedly links knowing God, abiding in Him, and obedience as evidence of genuine faith rather than its ground. The Spirit enables the righteous requirement of the law to be fulfilled in those who walk according to the Spirit (Romans 8:4). Obedience is the fruit and necessary evidence of new life, not the condition that activates or preserves freedom from the law’s curse and condemnation. Key Scriptures: The Protective Function of the Law Psalm 119:11: "Your word I have hidden in my heart, that I might not sin against You." Guardrail Function: Internalizing Scripture acts as a direct barrier against temptation. Psalm 119:105: "Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path." Guardrail Function: Defines the safe path, preventing a person from blindly straying off a cliff into sin. Galatians 3:23 : "But before faith came, we were kept under guard by the law, kept for the faith which should afterward be revealed." Guardrail Function: Paul explicitly uses military/custodial language (phroureo - to guard or hem in) to show how the Law contained and restrained human sinful nature until Christ arrived. 1 Timothy 1:8–10: " Knowing this: that the law is not made for a righteous person, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and for sinners..." Guardrail Function: Laws and boundaries exist precisely to restrain unruly behavior and prevent lawlessness from going unchecked. How the Guardrail Metaphor Completes the Biblical Picture Function of the Law Practical / Theological Meaning Scriptural Reference Exposing Sin (Mirror)Shows what sin is by defining absolute right and wrong Romans 3:20, 7:7 Leading to Christ (Tutor)Proves human inability to stay within boundaries, driving us to grace Galatians 3:24 Connecting Guardrails to Deflection When people deflect, remove, or relax parts of Scripture (as warned against in Matthew 5:18–19), they effectively tear down the guardrails God put in place for their protection. Removing the "least" commandment creates a gap in the fence, making it significantly easier to slide into major sin. Psalm 19 describes the warnings and rewards of God's law? Psalm 19: The Protective Value, Warnings, and Rewards of God's Law In Psalm 19:7–14, David transitions from God's revelation in creation (verses 1–6) to God's written word, providing a complete defense of Scripture's perfection and protective boundary. The Perfect Character of the Law (Verses 7–9) David uses six distinct titles and descriptions for God's word, showing how it acts as a total guide for human life: Term Used Description Practical Effect on the Soul The Law of the LORD Perfect Restores/converts the soul The Testimony of the LORD Sure Makes wise the simple The Statutes of the LORD Right Rejoices the heart The Commandment of the LORD Pure Enlightens the eyes The Fear of the LORD Clean, enduring forever Provides an unshakable foundation The Judgments of the LORD True and righteous altogether Imparts divine truth The Law as Warning and Guardrail (Verses 11–13) In verses 11–13, David explicitly describes how Scripture functions as a protective guardrail against different types of sin: 11 "Moreover by them Your servant is warned, and in keeping them there is great reward." 12 "Who can understand his errors? Cleanse me from secret faults." 13 "Keep back Your servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me..." Warning Against "Secret Faults" (Unintentional Sin): Scripture shines light on blind spots—sins committed in ignorance or rationalized away through self-deception. Guardrails Against "Presumptuous Sins" (Willful Sin): Presumptuous sins are intentional, high-handed rebellions (such as deflecting or deliberately ignoring a known command). David prays that the boundary of God's law holds him back so those deliberate sins do not form a habit or gain "dominion" over his life. The Ultimate Goal: Divine Acceptance (Verse 14) David concludes by bringing every thought, word, and reaction under the standard of God's word, recognizing that keeping the guardrails intact leads to true righteousness: 14 "Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, O LORD, my strength and my Redeemer."

The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him .Don't put your trust in human leaders; no human being can save you. When they breathe their last, they return to the earth, Just as man is appointed to die once, and after that to face judgment. Unanswerable questions Mungkin Anda juga ingin mengajukan beberapa atau semua pertanyaan ini kepada pendeta atau guru favorit Anda. Inilah yang diajarkan gereja Anda. Yang pertama menyatakan kasusnya tampaknya benar sampai yang lain datang dan memeriksanya. Amsal 18:17 Jangan menaruh kepercayaan Anda pada pemimpin manusia; tidak ada manusia yang bisa menyelamatkanmu. Saat mereka menghembuskan nafas terakhir, mereka kembali ke bumi, dan semua rencana mereka mati bersama mereka. Mazmur 146:3 Sama seperti manusia ditetapkan untuk mati hanya satu kali saja, dan setelah itu dihakimi, Ibrani 9:27 Allah bukanlah Allah kekacauan tetapi damai sejahtera. 1 Korintus 14:33 Jika hukum Tuhan telah dibuat lebih baik, dan hukum Tuhan itu sempurna (Mazmur 19:7), apakah perkataan yang sudah didefinisikan sebagai sempurna dapat dibuat lebih baik? Jika kita sudah bebas dari Hukum Tuhan, dan Hukum Tuhan adalah kebebasan (Mazmur 119:44-45), apakah itu artinya kita bisa bebas dari kebebasan? Bisakah Kebenaran dibuat bukan Kebenaran? (Mazmur 119:143;160) Halaman 2 dari 4 Bisakah jalan kebenaran tidak lagi menjadi jalan kebenaran? (Ulangan 4:8, Amsal 2:20; Yesaya 51:7, 2 Petrus 2:21; 2 Timotius 3:16) Bisakah Jalan Tuhan berubah menjadi jalan yang berbeda? (Keluaran 18:20; Ulangan 10:12; Yos 22:51; 1 Raja 2:3; Mazmur 119:1; Amsal 6:23; Apakah 2:3; Maleakhi 2:8; Markus 12:14; Kisah Para Rasul 24:14) 6) Jika Hukum Tuhan itu untuk selama-lamanya, dan hukum Tuhan itu berakhir, apakah itu mengatakan bahwa selamanya bisa berakhir? Apakah itu berarti hidup yang kekal bisa berakhir juga? (Imamat 16:31; 1 Tawarikh 16:15; Mazmur 119:160; Yesaya 40:8) 7) Bisakah apa yang mendefinisikan dosa dihapuskan? Bisakah dosa menjadi dosa suatu hari dan tidak menjadi dosa di hari lain? Apakah definisi dosa berubah? (Bilangan 15:22-31; Daniel 9:11; 1 Yohanes 3:4) 9) Bisakah hidup tidak lagi menjadi hidup? (Ayub 33:30; Mz 36:9; Amsal 6:23; Wahyu 22:14) 10) Jika Allah adalah Firman, dan Allah tidak dapat berubah, lalu bagaimana kita dapat mengatakan bahwa Firman Tuhan berubah? (Yohanes 1:1; Maleakhi 3:6) Jika kita ingin menyukai Hukum Allah, apakah kita tidak lagi menyukainya? (Mazmur 1:2; 112:1; 119:16; 119:35; 119:47; 119:70; 119:77; 119:92; 119:174; Yesaya 58:13; Roma 7:22) (halaman 29) Jika ketika Hukum ditulis, kita disuruh berjalan di dalamnya (Ulangan 10:11-13), mengetahui sepenuhnya bahwa Kristus menjalankan hukum yang sama, dan Yohanes berkata kita harus berjalan persis seperti Dia berjalan (1 Yohanes 2:5 -6), sementara Paulus berkata bahwa kita harus mengikuti teladan Kristus (1 Korintus 11:1), maka bukankah kita akan mengikuti perintah yang sama yang Kristus jalani? _cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b-136bad5cf558d__cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b-136bad5cf558d_ Jika Kristus adalah Firman yang menjadi manusia, dan Kristus adalah Firman Allah (Yohanes 1:14; Wahyu 19:13), dan diduga sebagian dari Firman Allah dihapuskan, apakah Dia naik ke kayu salib untuk menghapuskan bagian dari diri-Nya? Jika Hukum Tuhan adalah tentang mengasihi Tuhan dan mengasihi sesama, apakah mengasihi Tuhan dan mengasihi sesama dapat berubah? (Keluaran 20:6; Ulangan 5:10; Ulangan 7:10; 11:13; 11:22; 30:16; 6:5; Imamat 19:18; Nehemia 1:5; Daniel 9:4; Matius 22:35-37; 10:39; 16:25; Yoh 14:15; 14:21; Roma 13:9; 1 Yohanes 5:2-3; 2 Yohanes 1:6) Jika hukum Allah selalu dimaksudkan untuk memberkati kita dan menjadi baik bagi kita, lalu mengapa Dia mengambilnya dari kita setelah salib? (Ulangan 11:26-27; Mazmur 112:1; 119:1-2; Mazmur 128:1; Amsal 8:32; Yesaya 56:2; Matius 5:6; 5:10; Lukas 11:28; Yakobus 1:25; 1 Petrus 3:14; Wahyu 22:14; Mazmur 119) Jika seluruh tujuan manusia adalah untuk menuruti perintah Tuhan (Pengkhotbah 12:13), apakah ini tidak lagi benar? Matius 5:17-19 dengan jelas mengajarkan bahwa tidak ada perintah yang akan berlalu setidaknya sampai Langit dan Bumi berlalu dan semua Hukum dan Nabi digenapi. Selain itu, orang percaya yang mengajar orang lain bahwa perintah telah berlalu akan menjadi yang terkecil di kerajaan Surga, tetapi mereka yang berusaha untuk mematuhi semua hukum Allah dan mengajar orang lain untuk melakukan hal yang sama akan menjadi besar di Kerajaan. Oleh karena itu, bagaimana kita dapat merasa nyaman dengan mengajarkan sesuatu yang kurang dari apa yang Musa tulis dan apa yang Kristus praktikkan dan ajarkan? Ketika Kristus memerintahkan kita untuk mengamati dan melakukan segala sesuatu dari tempat duduk Musa (Matius 23:13), yang selalu menjadi apa yang Musa tulis, lalu mengapa kita tidak mau melakukannya, terutama karena dia memerintahkan kita untuk mengajar semua bangsa? semua yang dia perintahkan, yang tentu saja mencakup semua yang diajarkan dari kursi Musa. Ketika Paulus menyatakan beberapa kali bahwa dia percaya, mempraktekkan, dan mengajarkan hukum Allah (seperti yang ditulis oleh Musa - Kis 21:20-26; 24:13-14; 25:8) dan juga bahwa tidak ada perbedaan antara orang Yahudi dan orang Yahudi. Bahasa Yunani dalam Kristus (1 Korintus 12:12-14; Galatia 3:27-29; Kolose 3:10-12), bagaimana kita dapat merasa nyaman menggunakan surat-surat Paulus untuk mengajarkan bahwa kita tidak mematuhi semua hukum Allah? Bagaimana mungkin Paulus mengajarkan hukum Allah (sebagaimana ditulis oleh Musa) dan mengajar melawan hukum Allah pada saat yang sama? Apa yang kita lakukan dengan fakta bahwa menuruti apa yang Musa tulis juga berarti mengajar orang bukan Yahudi, orang asing, dan orang asing bagi Israel, untuk mempraktekkan hukum Allah yang sama dalam iman? (Keluaran 12:19; 12:38; 12:49; Imamat 19:34; 24:22; Bilangan 9:14; 15:15-16; 15:29). Juga, Yesaya 42:6; 60:3; Matius 5:14; Efesus 2:10-13; Kisah Para Rasul 13:47; Rm 11:16-27; Yeremia 31:31-34; Yehezkiel 37; 1 Yohanes 2:10; 1 Yohanes 1:7) Artinya tidak pernah ada perbedaan iman antara orang Yahudi dan bukan Yahudi. Bukankah selama ini Paulus dituduh tidak melakukan dan mengajarkan Hukum Musa sebenarnya adalah tuduhan yang benar, bukan tuduhan palsu seperti yang ditegaskan dan ditunjukkan oleh Paulus? Mengapa masih ada tuduhan terhadap Paulus bahwa Ia mengajar melawan Hukum Allah yang ditulis oleh Musa? Mengapa dia masih harus membela diri terhadap klaim yang tidak masuk akal seperti itu bahkan ketika kitab Kisah Para Rasul bersaksi menentangnya? Ketika tampaknya Paulus berbicara tentang hukum, dia berbicara tentang hukum lisan orang Yahudi atau dia berbicara tentang kutukan hukum yang dipakukan Mesias di kayu salib. Ketika Kitab Suci menyatakan dalam PB bahwa kita harus menaati perintah-perintah Allah dalam kasih kita kembali kepada-Nya (1 Yohanes 5:2-3) sebagai tanggapan atas kasih karunia atau kasih-Nya bagi kita (1 Yohanes 4:19), bagaimana kita dapat menyimpulkan bahwa kita harus menuruti hanya sebagian dari perintah Allah? Apakah perintah dalam Imamat 23 atau Imamat 11 merupakan perintah Tuhan atau bukan? Dalam Yesaya 66:15-17, kita melihat bahwa dalam konteks kedatangan Tuhan kembali, bahwa ketika Dia datang kembali, Dia jelas marah karena orang makan daging babi. Jika Dia peduli, mengapa kita berasumsi bahwa Dia tidak peduli sekarang? Dalam Zakharia 14, ketika Tuhan datang kembali untuk memerintah, kita melihat dengan jelas bahwa setiap orang diharapkan untuk merayakan Pondok Daun seperti yang ditulis oleh Musa. Mengapa kita diharapkan untuk merayakan Tabernakel sebelum salib, tetapi tidak setelah salib, tetapi kemudian merayakannya lagi ketika Tuhan datang kembali? Jika Kristus adalah Firman yang menjadi Daging (Wahyu 19:13), dan Dia tetap sama kemarin, hari ini, dan selamanya (Ibrani 13:8), lalu bagaimana Firman Tuhan, tidak sama kemarin hari ini dan selamanya seperti Yesaya 40 :8 kata? Dan terakhir, dengan pengecualian kesalahpahaman dari Kisah Para Rasul 10 dan Kisah Para Rasul 15, hampir semua dugaan mendukung keyakinan bahwa hukum Allah berubah berasal dari pembacaan potongan-potongan pilihan dari surat-surat Paulus. Mengapa kita terutama menggunakan Paulus untuk mendukung penghapusan Hukum Tuhan ketika Petrus dengan jelas mengatakan bahwa surat-surat Paulus sering digunakan untuk membuat kesalahan pelanggaran hukum karena Paulus sulit untuk dipahami dan banyak yang membacanya tidak cukup berpengetahuan tentang Firman Tuhan tetapi sebaliknya bodoh dan tidak stabil (2 Petrus 3:15-17). Paulus adalah orang yang Petrus peringatkan agar tidak kita gunakan untuk mengajar melawan hukum Allah. Mengapa ada orang yang menggunakan dia? Ini hanyalah beberapa pertanyaan utama yang kami miliki kepada siapa saja yang percaya bahwa Hukum Allah telah berubah. Masih banyak lagi yang bisa disajikan, tapi semoga itu membuat Anda berpikir. 119 kementerian

God’s Promises to Those Who Keep His Commands God will reveal Himself to us. “He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him” (John 14:21 ). God will dwell with us. “If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him” (John 14:23 ). We will abide in God’s love and our joy will be full. “If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love. These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full” (John 15:10–11 ). We will know that we know and love God. “And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. . . . Whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him” (I John 2:3 , 5 ). “If ye love me, keep my commandments ” (John 14:15 ). We will show love to God’s children. “By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments” (I John 5:2 ). We will be friends of Christ. “Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you” (John 15:14 ). Our prayers will be answered. “And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight” (I John 3:22 ).

Remember: “For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure ” (Philippians 2:13 ).

This marriage relationship was established by God because national Israel typified and foreshadowed the spiritual Israel of God which was to become the eternal bride of Christ. The Marriage supper of the Lamb When and where will the marriage supper of the Lamb take place? PERNIKAHAN TUHAN DENGAN ISRAEL Hubungan pernikahan ini ditetapkan oleh Allah karena bangsa Israel melambangkan dan meramalkan Israel rohani milik Allah yang akan menjadi pengantin kekal Kristus. Kita tahu bahwa pernikahan rohani antara Allah dan bangsa Israel ada karena Keluhan Tuhan dicatat dalam Yeremia 3:14 tentang percabulan rohani yang dilakukan oleh istri-Nya: (anak lembu emas) Berpalinglah, hai anak-anak yang murtad, demikianlah firman Tuhan; karena aku menikah denganmu: ... Dia tidak menikah dengan mereka sebagai individu; sebagai individu, mereka menikah secara rohani dengan hukum Tuhan. Sebaliknya, Dia menikah dengan mereka sebagai entitas korporat. Namun Tuhan menghadapi masalah nyata. Tidak pernah dalam sejarah bangsa Israel mereka setia. Berulang kali mereka bernafsu pada allah lain. Apa yang Tuhan lakukan dengan istri-Nya yang berzina? Menurut hukum abadi Allah, kematian diperlukan bagi istri yang berzinah. Namun Allah tidak dapat sepenuhnya menghancurkan Israel sebagai sebuah bangsa, karena itu keluar dari bangsa Israel bahwa Kristus akan datang. Selain itu, rencana Tuhan adalah menggunakan bangsa Israel sebagai contoh kesabaran dan belas kasihan-Nya. Ingat, dalam perumpamaan Lukas 13 pohon ara yang berulang kali tidak berbuah harus ditebang. Tapi kemudian diberi satu kesempatan lagi. Jika masih tidak ada buah, itu harus ditebang._cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b- 136bad5cf58d_ Perumpamaan Sepuluh Gadis Matius 25:1-13 1 “Maka hal Kerajaan Sorga akan seperti sepuluh gadis yang mengambil pelitanya dan pergi menyongsong mempelai laki-laki. 2 Lima dari mereka bodoh, dan lima bijaksana. 3 Karena yang bodoh membawa pelitanya, mereka tidak membawa minyak, 4 tetapi yang bijak membawa buli-buli berisi minyak bersama pelitanya. 5 Karena mempelai laki-laki tertunda, mereka semua mengantuk dan tertidur. 6 Tetapi pada tengah malam terdengar teriakan, 'Ini mempelai laki-laki! Keluarlah untuk menemuinya.' 7 Kemudian semua perawan itu bangun dan merapikan pelitanya. 8 Dan yang bodoh berkata kepada yang bijak, 'Beri kami sedikit minyakmu, karena pelita kami padam.' 9 Tetapi yang bijak menjawab, mengatakan, 'Karena tidak akan cukup untuk kami dan untuk Anda; pergilah ke dealer dan belilah untuk dirimu sendiri.' 10 Dan ketika mereka akan membeli, mempelai laki-laki datang, dan mereka yang telah siap masuk bersamanya ke pesta pernikahan, dan pintu ditutup. 11 Setelah itu, gadis-gadis lain juga datang, berkata, 'Tuan, Tuan, bukalah untuk kami.' 12 Tetapi dia menjawab, 'Sungguh, aku berkata kepadamu, aku tidak mengenalmu.' 13 Karena itu berjaga-jagalah, karena kamu tidak tahu hari maupun jamnya. Dalam perumpamaan ini, ada lima kata kritis yang membutuhkan definisi untuk memungkinkan kita mengekstrak makna yang dimaksudkan sepenuhnya… kelima kata itu adalah: (halaman 16) Bijaksana: Orang bijak adalah orang yang mendengar dan menurut. Mazmur 19:7 Hukum Yehovah itu sempurna, menyegarkan jiwa; kesaksian Yehovah itu pasti, membuat orang bijak menjadi bijaksana; _cc781905- 5cde-3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_ Matius 7:24 5cde-3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_ seperti orang bijak yang membangun rumahnya di atas batu. Bodoh: Orang bodoh adalah mereka yang tidak taat. Orang bodoh membenci instruksi; (Torah berarti 'instruksi,' karena berkaitan dengan Firman Tuhan). Amsal 1:7 Takut akan TUHAN (YHWH) adalah permulaan pengetahuan; orang bodoh membenci kebijaksanaan dan instruksi. Amsal 10:8 Orang yang bijak hatinya akan menerima perintah, tetapi orang bodoh yang banyak bicara akan binasa. Matius 7:26 Dan setiap orang yang mendengar perkataanku ini dan tidak melakukannya akan menjadi seperti orang bodoh yang membangun rumahnya di atas pasir. Lamp : Ini perintahnya. Amsal 6:23 Karena perintah itu pelita dan ajaran itu cahaya, dan teguran yang mendidik itu jalan kehidupan, TERANG: TERANG ADALAH HUKUM, TORAH. Amsal 6:23 Karena perintah itu pelita, dan ajaran itu cahaya, dan teguran yang mendidik itu jalan kehidupan, Terang: Terang adalah hukum, Taurat. Amsal 6:23 Karena perintah itu pelita, dan ajaran itu cahaya, dan teguran yang mendidik itu jalan kehidupan, Minyak: Apakah keinginan untuk ketaatan. Sebelum membaca perintah ini, ingatlah, pelita adalah “perintah” dan terang adalah “hukum.” Imamat 24:2 “Perintahkan bangsa Israel untuk membawakanmu minyak murni dari buah zaitun tumbuk untuk pelita, agar lampu terus menyala secara teratur. _cc781905-5cde -3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_ Ingat, hasil akhirnya adalah penentuan siapa yang dipersilakan untuk mesra dengan mempelai pria. Mereka yang memiliki cahaya dipersilakan. Cahaya adalah kondisi untuk hasil yang sesuai. Pikirkan tentang ini. Akhirnya orang bodoh tidak memiliki CAHAYA, kita perlu mengingat ini selama pengajaran ini. Ayo mulai Mendefinisikan istilah-istilah secara alkitabiah: Wahyu 19:6-96 Lalu aku mendengar seperti suara orang banyak, seperti gemuruh air bah dan seperti gemuruh guruh yang dahsyat, berseru, “Haleluya! For Yehovah our Elohim the Almighty reigns.7 Let us rejoice and exult and give him the kemuliaan, karena perkawinan Anak Domba, telah tiba, dan Mempelai Wanita-Nya telah mempersiapkan diri; 8 itu diberikan kepadanya untuk memakaikan dirinya dengan lenan halus, cerah dan murni”—karena lenan halus adalah perbuatan saleh orang-orang kudus.9 Dan malaikat itu berkata [a] kepada saya, “Tuliskan ini: Berbahagialah mereka yang diundang ke perjamuan kawin Anak Domba.” Dan dia berkata kepada saya, “Ini adalah firman Tuhan yang sebenarnya.” 25 Para suami, kasihilah istrimu, sama seperti Kristus mengasihi gereja dan menyerahkan diri-Nya untuknya (halaman 17) 14 Kembalilah, DARI anak-anak yang tidak setia,' demikianlah firman TUHAN; Karena aku adalah majikanmu, Dan aku akan membawamu satu dari satu kota dan dua dari satu keluarga, Dan aku akan membawamu ke Sion.' 15"Kemudian Aku akan memberimu gembala menurut hatiku sendiri, yang akan memberimu makan pengetahuan dan pengertian…“Karena aku cemburu kepadamu dengan kecemburuan yang saleh: karena aku telah mempertunangkanmu dengan satu suami agar aku dapat mempersembahkanmu sebagai perawan suci bagi Kristus.” (2 Korintus 11:2) (Yohanes 14:1-4) "Janganlah gelisah hatimu: percayalah kepada Allah, percayalah juga kepadaku.

The Beatitudes give us a picture of a true disciple of God. Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. "The kingdom of heaven" refers to people who acknowledge Yehovah as King. "Blessed are those daring enough to openly live as Yeshua and suffer persecution. The Sermon on the Mountain Memahami Khotbah di gunung Khotbah di gunung video The Sermon on the Mountain This final diagnostic test goes directly to the heart of the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5:1–12). It strips away the passive, poetic veneer that religion often wraps around the Beatitudes, forcing the reader to look into the mirror of the Messiah's opening words and see if their internal condition matches the exact description of a citizen of His Kingdom. 📋 The "Sermon on the Mount" Internal Alignment Test Instructions: Answer these 8 direct questions based on your true internal state and outward actions to determine if you are bearing the fruit of a true disciple or if you are simply tracking with the crowds. Question 1: Poor in Spirit vs. Self-Sufficient The Master states: "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." When you look at your life before Yehovah, what is your true spiritual posture? A) You walk in absolute bankruptcy, fully recognizing your total, desperate need for Yehovah to lead you, guide you, and instruct your every step. B) You are spiritually self-sufficient, relying on your own intellect, human doctrines, or a past prayer, assuming you are "good enough" without a daily, broken dependency on Him. Question 2: Mourning Over Sin vs. Rationalizing Compromise The Master states: "Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted." How do you respond internally when you realize you have violated the Father's commands or fallen into sin? A) You experience deep, heavy sorrow over your transgression, leading you to an immediate, physical turn (repentance) back to His ways so you can find the true comfort of His forgiveness. B) You shrug it off, minimize it, or claim that "grace covers it" without ever feeling genuine grief or making an effort to stop the behavior. Question 3: The Meek vs. The Self-Willed The Master states: "Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth." Meekness is strength under total submission. Who holds the ultimate authority over your time, your money, your diet, and your rest? A) You have fully submitted your neck to Yehovah's yoke. Whatever His Word commands, you do—making Him the absolute Lord over everything you possess. B) You are self-willed. You listen to God's Word only when it matches your existing lifestyle, retaining final veto power over any instruction that requires real sacrifice. Question 4: Hungering for Righteousness vs. Feasting on the World The Master states: "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled." What is the driving passion and deepest hunger of your everyday life? A) You passionately long for the righteousness of Yeshua, consuming His Word daily like food and water, desperate to see His character and His Torah reflected perfectly in your walk. B) You are spiritually full and satisfied with the distractions, entertainment, and material comforts of this world, treating the deeper things of scripture as an occasional snack. Question 5: Merciful vs. Resentful The Master states: "Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy." When someone wrongs you or falls short, what is your knee-jerk reaction? A) You actively extend forgiveness, kindness, and compassion, remembering the massive debt of sin the Father forgave you, and you sow mercy so you may reap it. B) You hold grudges, keep tabs on offenses, or harbor bitter resentment, expecting the Father to show you unlimited mercy while you refuse to offer it to others. Question 6: Pure in Heart vs. Outward Appearance The Master states: "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see Yehovah." Remembering Hebrews 12:14 ("Without holiness, no one will see Yehovah"), what does your life look like when no human being is watching? A) You pursue inward holiness that only Yehovah can see, begging Him to cleanse your hidden motives, your thoughts, and your desires from the inside out. B) You focus entirely on outward appearance. You put on a good show for people at church or online, but your hidden thought life remains uncleaned and full of compromise. Question 7: Peacemakers vs. Divide-and-Conquer The Master states: "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of Yehovah." How do you handle the ministry of reconciliation (2 Corinthians 5:19–20)? A) Having been reconciled to the Father through Yeshua, you actively bring that exact message of truth, repentance, and restored covenant fellowship to the people around you. B) You cause division, spread gossip, or remain completely silent about the Messiah, leaving the people in your life disconnected from the only source of true peace. Question 8: Persecuted for Righteousness vs. Hiding the Light The Master states: "Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness... Blessed are you when people insult you... because of me." What happens when your obedience to scripture causes friction with family, friends, or the culture? A) You dare to openly live exactly as Yeshua lived, counting it a joy and a privilege to face insults, exclusion, or false accusations for the sake of His name and His truth. B) You hide your faith, adjust your language, or compromise on the commandments to blend in, ensuring you never face discomfort, social rejection, or pushback from the world. The Kingdom Verdict: Look back over the eight boxes you checked. If the answers land consistently on B, the mirror reveals a sobering truth: The crowd followed Yeshua for the miracles, but only the disciples climbed the mountain to live by His words. You cannot inherit the Kingdom of Heaven if you reject the internal alignment required of its citizens . The Beatitudes are not a list of optional suggestions; they are the baseline character of the remnant. To claim to follow the Messiah while refusing to walk in His meekness, His purity, and His willingness to suffer for righteousness is to remain outside the gate. The choice to step onto the mountain and obey is yours today. Matthew 5:3-12 By Mary Fairchild The Beatitudes give us a picture of a true disciple of God . Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs, is the kingdom of heaven. The phrase "poor in spirit" speaks of a spiritual condition of poverty. It describes the person who recognizes his or her need for Yehovah. "The kingdom of heaven" refers to people who acknowledge Yehovah as King. Paraphrase: "Blessed are those who humbly recognize their need for Yehovah, for they will enter into his kingdom." Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. "Those who mourn" speaks of those who express deep sorrow over sin and repent for their sins. The freedom found in forgiveness of sin and the joy of eternal salvation is the "comfort" of those who repent. Paraphrase: "Blessed are those who mourn for their sins, for they shall receive forgiveness and life eternal." Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. Similar to "the poor," "the meek" are those who submit to Yehovah’s authority and make Him Lord. Revelation 21:7 says Yehovah’s children will "inherit all things." Paraphrase: "Blessed are those who submit to Yehovah as Lord, for they will inherit everything he possesses." Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. "Hunger" and "thirst" speak of deep need and driving passion. This "righteousness" refers to Yeshua Messiah. To "be filled" is the satisfaction of our soul's desire. Paraphrase: "Blessed are those who passionately long for Christ, for he will satisfy their souls." Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. We reap what we sow. Those who demonstrate mercy will receive mercy. Likewise, those who have received great mercy will show great mercy. Mercy is shown through forgiveness, kindness, and compassion toward others. Paraphrase: "Blessed are those who show mercy through forgiveness, kindness, and compassion, for they will receive mercy." Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see Yehovah. The "pure in heart" are those who have been cleansed from within. This is not outward righteousness that can be seen by men, but inward holiness that only Yehovah can see. The Bible says in Hebrews 12:14 that without holiness, no one will see Yehovah. Paraphrase: "Blessed are those who have been purified from the inside out, being made clean and holy, for they will see Yehovah." Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of Yehovah. The The Bible says we have peace with Yehovah through Yeshua Messiah. Reconciliation through Christ brings restored fellowship (peace) with Yehovah. 2 Corinthians 5:19-20 says Yehovah entrusts us with this same message of reconciliation to take to others. Paraphrase: "Blessed are those who have been reconciled to Yehovah through Yeshua Messiah and bring this same message of reconciliation to others. All who have peace with Yehovah are his children." Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Just as Yeshua faced persecution, so will his followers. Those who endure by faith rather than hide their faith to avoid persecution are genuine followers of Yeshua. Paraphrase: " Blessed are those daring enough to openly live as and for Yeshua and suffer persecution, for they will receive the kingdom of heaven."Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you. Matthew 5:11

Good Friday at 3pm to Easter Sunday while it was still dark. Humm the math says drumm role 3pm Monday . Christ said He would be in the grave 3 days and 3 nights, Good Friday Easter Sunday Is Easter Pagan? 3 hari 3 hari malam 72 jam Jonah Cast Into the Sea and Swallowed …16Then the men feared the LORD greatly, and they offered a sacrifice to the LORD and made vows to Him. 17 Now the LORD had appointed a great fish to swallow Jonah, and Jonah spent three days and three nights in the belly of the fish. How Can Celebrate Easter Anger God? Now that we have just gone through the roots of easter the question remains, “How does celebrating easter anger God?” There is no doubt that the holiday has pagan roots which the LORD detests. Throughout the Old Testament, we see the LORD’s reaction to Israel’s constant falling away into idol worship and pagan practices. We are not much different than the Israelites. Why should we expect a different reaction from Abba? The Word says that God is a jealous God who does not tolerate idolatry. And even if you celebrate Easter with Jesus in mind, God does not receive this! Why? Because it’s a strange fire! Following a holiday with pagan roots , symbols, and meanings and then claiming it in honor of God is an abomination! Here is the clean, definitive Simple Test for identifying whether your home, calendar, and physical habits are in alignment with the Torah of Yehovah, or if you are active in the sin of syncretism—mixing the holy commands of God with the profane traditions of the world. ⚖️ The Simple Test: Sinning Against God (Syncretism Check) Instructions: Answer these 10 direct, binary (Yes/No) questions honestly before the Creator. Question 1: The Origin of the Winter Tree The Scriptural Law: “Do not learn the way of the Gentiles... for one cuts a tree from the forest... They decorate it with silver and gold...” (Jeremiah 10:2-4). The Question: When the winter season arrives, do you bring a decorated evergreen tree into your property, or do you banish this custom because it imitates the historic winter-solstice practices of the nations? [ ] YES (I obey God): You refuse to bring a winter tree into your home, treating the custom as a futile practice rooted in ancient solar idolatry. [ ] NO (I follow tradition): You continue to set up, decorate, or participate around the tree, claiming "it represents Jesus to me." Question 2: The Sunrise Worship Timing The Scriptural Law: “...with their backs toward the temple of the Lord and their faces toward the east, and they were worshiping the sun toward the east.” (Ezekiel 8:16). The Question: Do you participate in traditional "Sunrise Services" on the spring equinox calendar, a practice historically dedicated to the dawn and spring deities of the nations? [ ] YES (I obey God): You reject the custom, recognizing that the Father explicitly calls solar-aligned worship timing an abomination. [ ] NO (I follow tradition): You attend or defend these services because mainstream church culture has assigned a biblical meaning to them. Question 3: The Vocabulary of the Tongue The Scriptural Law: “And make no mention of the name of other gods, nor let it be heard from your mouth.” (Exodus 23:13). The Question: Do you actively scrub the terminology of the nations from your lips when discussing holy things—such as refusing to call the celebration of the Master's resurrection by the name of a Germanic spring goddess (Easter)? [ ] YES (I obey God): You call His days what the Scriptures call them: Pesach (Passover) and Yom HaBikkurim (Firstfruits). [ ] NO (I follow tradition): You continue to use pagan-rooted names for holy realities because it is easier and more socially acceptable. Question 4: The Altar of Your Appetite The Scriptural Law: “Eating swine’s flesh and the abomination and the mouse, shall be consumed together,’ says the Lord.” (Isaiah 66:17). The Question: When you select what to put into your body, does the written Law of Leviticus 11 hold total veto power over your appetite, your cravings, and your social comfort? [ ] YES (I obey God): You strictly observe the dietary boundaries, treating your body as a clean, set-apart living sacrifice (Romans 12:1). [ ] NO (I follow tradition): You consume pork, shellfish, or other unclean things, rationalizing it through modern theology, social convenience, or personal taste. Question 5: The Master of Your Time The Scriptural Law: “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy... the seventh day is the Sabbath of Yehovah your God.” (Exodus 20:8-10). The Question: Do you physically cease from your worldly labor, commerce, and buying/selling on the Seventh-Day Sabbath (sunset Friday to sunset Saturday), or do you follow the Sunday tradition of Rome? [ ] YES (I obey God): You guard the Seventh-Day Sabbath as an eternal covenant sign between you and the Father. [ ] NO (I follow tradition): You treat the Seventh Day like any other day for work, shopping, or entertainment, preferring man's shifting calendar. Question 6: The Direct Instruction Rule The Scriptural Law: “Whatever I command you, be careful to observe it; you shall not add to it nor take away from it.” (Deuteronomy 12:32). The Question: When looking for a way to worship the King, do you stick strictly to the Appointed Times (Moedim) He wrote down, or do you believe human beings have the authority to invent new religious holidays and rituals? [ ] YES (I obey God): You believe the Torah is sufficient and complete; you add no human holidays to His sacred calendar. [ ] NO (I follow tradition): You participate in holidays invented by the state of Rome or modern culture, assuming God accepts whatever we offer. Question 7: Purging Sacred Objects from the Home The Scriptural Law: “You shall burn the carved images of their gods with fire... nor take it for yourself, lest you be snared by it; for it is an abomination to Yehovah your God.” (Deuteronomy 7:25). The Question: Do you systematically inspect your home, decorations, and properties to ensure you are not harboring symbols historically tied to ancient fertility cults, solar wheels, or the occult? [ ] YES (I obey God): You purge your household of any physical item that carries a heritage of false worship or worldly customs. [ ] NO (I follow tradition): You keep these items around as "art," "decorations," or "antiques," ignoring the spiritual snare attached to them. Question 8: The Hearing of the Ear The Scriptural Law: “He that turned away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be an abomination.” (Proverbs 28:9). The Question: When the hard, straightforward truth of the Torah cuts across your comfort, your wallet, or your family traditions, how does your ear respond? [ ] YES (I obey God): You humble yourself, undergo the continuous baptism of repentance, and adjust your life immediately to match the Spoken Word. [ ] NO (I follow tradition): You look for loop-holes, modern grace excuses, or point to "good intentions," matching the exact description of the nation that refuses to be taught (Jeremiah 7:27). Question 9: The Pressure of the Feast Table The Scriptural Law: “You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons; you cannot partake of the Lord’s table and of the table of demons.” (1 Corinthians 10:21). The Question: If a close family member invites you to a major traditional holiday dinner (like Christmas or Easter) where unclean food is served and pagan-rooted traditions are practiced, do you have the courage to politely decline the invitation to keep your garments clean? [ ] YES (I obey God): You value covenant fidelity above family harmony, refusing to sit at a table that honors a mixed, profane tradition. [ ] NO (I follow tradition): You attend anyway to "keep the peace," validating their compromise with your presence. Question 10: The Definition of Faith The Scriptural Law: “But don't just listen to Yehovah’s word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves.” (James 1:22). The Question: Is your faith a concrete action of physical submission, consisting of Believing, Committing, and Doing, or is it an intellectual concept wrapped in emotional sentiment? [ ] YES (I obey God): Your faith drives you to physically walk out His commands regarding His Sabbaths, His boundaries, and His instructions. [ ] NO (I follow tradition): You claim to have "faith in your heart" while your hands, your diet, and your lifestyle continue to practice the lawless habits of the world around you. 🎯 The Final Scorecard Every YES choice means you are standing with the Remnant who worship the Father in Spirit and in Truth (John 4:24). Every NO choice means the flesh is still ruling in that area, and you are active in syncretism—bringing "strange fire" before the altar of the King. “Thou shalt not do so unto the Lord thy God: for every abomination to the Lord, which he hateth, have they done unto their gods...” — Deuteronomy 12:31 The Satanic Ritual of Sacrificing Children Every year, the priests of Ishtar would impregnate young virgins on an altar dedicated to herself and her husband*. The children were born on Christmas December 25, and the next year they were sacrificed in the Easter's Sunday at the sunrise service. The priests would take Ishtar's eggs and dye them in the blood of the sacrificed children. Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them, after that they be destroyed from before thee; and that thou enquire not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise. Thou shalt not do so unto the Lord thy God: for every abomination to the Lord, which he hateth, have they done unto their gods; for even their sons and their daughters they have burnt in the fire to their gods. (Deuteronomy 12:30-31) God is not happy with the way we have mixed pagan practices with His true worship. Celebrating Easter does not honor or please God even if we do it with the right intention. It was never established by God, so why are we so attached to it? Why do we go to great lengths to defend a holiday that angers Abba? Pride perhaps? Or our unbudging stubbornness in tradition? In the words of Paul to the Romans: “But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal.” (Romans 11:5) And still, to this day, there is a remnant of followers of The Way who have made the decision not to be contaminated by the world. Who have proposed to follow God no matter the cost, no matter the fire, no matter the cold shoulder. Because being Christian is not easy and less even when you follow the entire truth- the truth that no one wants to acknowledge. Truth is never popular, not even in the church. But be brave brethren. Be humble. At the end of the day, we want God’s approval, not man’s. Will you be part of the remnant? Exodus 12:3-14 3 Tell the whole community of Israel that on the tenth day of this month each man is to take a lamb[a ] for his family, one for each household. 4 If any household is too small for a whole lamb, they must share one with their nearest neighbor, having taken into account the number of people there are. You are to determine the amount of lamb needed in accordance with what each person will eat. 5 The animals you choose must be year-old males without defect, and you may take them from the sheep or the goats. 6 Take care of them until the fourteenth day of the month, when all the members of the community of Israel must slaughter them at twilight. 7 Then they are to take some of the blood and put it on the sides and tops of the doorframes of the houses where they eat the lambs. 8 That same night they are to eat the meat roasted over the fire, along with bitter herbs, and bread made without yeast. 9 Do not eat the meat raw or boiled in water, but roast it over a fire—with the head, legs, and internal organs. 10 Do not leave any of it till morning; if some is left till morning, you must burn it. 11 This is how you are to eat it: with your cloak tucked into your belt, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand. Eat it in haste; it is the Lord’s Passover. Passover Meal The Last Supper Matthew 17 On the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread, the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Where do you want us to make preparations for you to eat the Passover?” 18 He replied, “Go into the city to a certain man and tell him, ‘The Teacher says: My appointed time is near. I am going to celebrate the Passover with my disciples at your house.’” 1 9 So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them and prepared the Passover. 20 When evening came, Jesus was reclining at the table with the Twelve. 21 And while they were eating, he said, “Truly I tell you, one of you will betray me.” The Last Supper Mark 12 On the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread, when it was customary to sacrifice the Passover lamb, Jesus’ disciples asked him, “Where do you want us to go and make preparations for you to eat the Passover?” 13 So he sent two of his disciples, telling them, “Go into the city, and a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him. 14 Say to the owner of the house he enters, ‘The Teacher asks: Where is my guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?’ 15 He will show you a large room upstairs, furnished and ready. Make preparations for us there.” 16 The disciples left, went into the city and found things just as Jesus had told them. So they prepared the Passover. 17 When evening came, Jesus arrived with the Twelve. 18 While they were reclining at the table eating, he said, “Truly I tell you, one of you will betray me—one who is eating with me.” The Last Supper Luke 7 Then came the day of Unleavened Bread on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed. 8 Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and make preparations for us to eat the Passover.” 9 “Where do you want us to prepare for it?” they asked. 10 He replied, “As you enter the city, a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him to the house that he enters, 11 and say to the owner of the house, ‘The Teacher asks: Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?’ 12 He will show you a large room upstairs, all furnished. Make preparations there.” 13 They left and found things just as Jesus had told them. So they prepared the Passover. 14 When the hour came, Jesus and his apostles reclined at the table. 15 And he said to them, “I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. 16 For I tell you, I will not eat it again until it finds fulfillment in the kingdom of God.” 1 Corinthians 11:23-25 23 For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread, 24 and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me.” 25 In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me.”

Saya percaya kitab suci memberi tahu kita bahwa ketika kita mati, Yehovah mengambil kembali roh-Nya nafas kehidupan, jiwa kita tidur dan tubuh kita membusuk sampai kita dibangkitkan baik untuk hidup atau kematian kedua. Jika kita dibangkitkan untuk hidup, kita akan diberi tubuh baru seperti yang ditunjukkan dalam ayat-ayat berikutnya. Orang Percaya yang Telah Meninggal 1 Tesalonika 4:13 Saudara-saudara, kami tidak ingin kamu tidak mengetahui tentang mereka yang tidur dalam kematian, sehingga kamu tidak berduka seperti manusia lainnya, yang tidak memiliki harapan? 14 Karena kami percaya bahwa Yeshua mati dan bangkit kembali, jadi kami percaya bahwa Allah akan membawa serta Yeshua mereka yang telah meninggal di dalam Dia. 15 Sesuai dengan firman Tuhan, kami memberi tahu kamu bahwa kami yang masih hidup, yang tertinggal sampai kedatangan Tuhan, pasti tidak akan mendahului mereka yang telah meninggal. 16 Karena Tuhan sendiri akan turun dari surga, dengan perintah yang nyaring, dengan suara malaikat agung dan dengan seruan terompet Allah, dan yang mati di dalam Kristus akan lebih dulu bangkit.17 Setelah itu, kita yang masih hidup dan yang tersisa akan diangkat bersama-sama dengan mereka di awan menyongsong Tuhan di udara. Jadi, kita akan bersama Tuhan Selamanya. 18 Oleh karena itu, semangatilah satu sama lain dengan kata-kata ini. Jaminan Kebangkitan 1 Korintus 15:49 Dan sama seperti kita telah memakai rupa manusia duniawi, demikian juga kita akan memakai rupa manusia surgawi.50 Aku menyatakan kepadamu, saudara-saudara, bahwa daging dan darah tidak mendapat bagian dalam Kerajaan Allah, demikian juga yang tidak dapat binasa mewarisi yang tidak dapat binasa. 51 Dengar, aku memberitahumu sebuah misteri: Kita tidak akan mati semua, tetapi kita semua akan diubah— 52 dalam sekejap, dalam sekejap mata, pada sangkakala terakhir. Karena terompet akan berbunyi, orang mati akan dibangkitkan dan tidak dapat binasa, dan kita akan diubah. 53 Karena yang dapat binasa harus mengenakan yang tidak dapat binasa, dan yang dapat mati harus mengenakan yang tidak dapat mati. 54 Ketika yang fana telah dibungkus dengan yang tidak dapat binasa, dan yang fana dengan keabadian, maka perkataan yang tertulis akan menjadi kenyataan: “Maut telah ditelan dalam kemenangan.” 2 Korintus 5:8 Karena kami tahu, bahwa jika rumah kami yang di dunia ini, yaitu kemah ini, hancur, kami mempunyai bangunan dari Allah, rumah yang tidak dibuat oleh tangan manusia, kekal di surga. 2 Karena dalam hal ini kami mengeluh, dengan sungguh-sungguh ingin mengenakan tempat tinggal kami yang dari surga, 3 jika memang, setelah berpakaian, kami tidak didapati telanjang. 4 Karena kami yang berada di dalam kemah ini mengeluh, terbebani, bukan karena kami ingin membuka pakaian, tetapi lebih lanjut berpakaian, agar kefanaan dapat ditelan oleh kehidupan. 5 Sekarang Dia yang telah mempersiapkan kita untuk hal ini adalah Tuhan, yang juga telah memberi kita Roh sebagai jaminan. 6 Jadi kami selalu percaya diri, mengetahui bahwa sementara kami berada di rumah dalam tubuh kami jauh dari Tuhan. 7 Karena kami berjalan dengan iman, bukan dengan melihat. 8 Kami yakin, ya, lebih senang untuk absen dari tubuh dan untuk hadir bersama Tuhan. 9 Oleh karena itu kami menetapkan tujuan kami, apakah hadir atau tidak, untuk menyenangkan Dia. 10 Karena kita semua harus menghadap takhta pengadilan Kristus, agar setiap orang dapat menerima apa yang dilakukannya dalam tubuhnya, sesuai dengan apa yang telah dilakukannya, baik atau buruk. 11 Mengetahui, oleh karena itu, kengerian Tuhan, kami membujuk manusia; tetapi kami dikenal baik oleh Tuhan, dan saya juga percaya dikenal dalam hati nurani Anda. Meterai Kelima: Tangisan Para Martir Wahyu 6:9 Ketika Ia membuka meterai kelima, aku melihat di bawah mezbah jiwa-jiwa mereka yang telah dibunuh karena firman Allah dan karena kesaksian yang mereka pegang.10 Dan mereka berseru dengan suara suara nyaring, mengatakan, "Berapa lama, ya Tuhan, suci dan benar, sampai Anda menilai dan membalaskan darah kami pada mereka yang diam di bumi?" 11 Kemudian jubah putih diberikan kepada mereka masing-masing; dan dikatakan kepada mereka bahwa mereka harus beristirahat sebentar lagi, sampai jumlah rekan-rekan mereka dan saudara-saudara mereka, yang akan dibunuh seperti mereka, telah selesai? Dan roh akan kembali kepada Tuhan Pengkhotbah 12:5 Karena manusia akan pergi ke rumahnya yang kekal, sementara orang-orang yang bersedih akan berkeliaran di jalanan. 6 Ingatlah Dia sebelum tali perak kehidupan diputuskan dan piring emas dihancurkan. Ingatlah Dia sebelum tempayan dekat sumur pecah dan kincir dekat lubang air hancur. 7 Kemudian debu akan kembali menjadi tanah seperti semula. Dan ruh akan kembali kepada Allah Yang mengaruniakannya Kejadian 2:7 Kemudian TUHAN Allah membentuk manusia itu dari debu tanah. Dia menghembuskan nafas kehidupan ke lubang hidung pria itu, dan pria itu menjadi orang yang hidup. Ayub 27:3 3 Selama nafasku masih ada dalam diriku, dan Roh Allah ada dalam lubang hidungku; Job 33:4 4 Roh Allah telah menjadikan aku, dan nafas Yang Mahakuasa telah menghidupkan aku. Pengkhotbah 12:7 7 Pada waktu itu debu akan kembali menjadi tanah seperti semula, dan roh akan kembali kepada Allah yang mengaruniakannya. 1 Korintus 2:11 Karena manusia manakah yang mengetahui apa yang ada di dalam diri manusia selain roh manusia yang ada di dalam dirinya? demikian pula hal-hal tentang Allah tidak mengenal manusia, kecuali Roh Allah. Yehezkiel 37:5-6 Demikianlah firman Tuhan ALLAH kepada tulang-tulang ini; Lihatlah, Aku akan membuat nafas masuk ke dalam dirimu, dan kamu akan hidup: 6 Dan Aku akan meletakkan urat di atasmu, dan akan menumbuhkan daging padamu, dan menutupimu dengan kulit, dan memberi nafas padamu, dan kamu akan hidup; dan kamu akan mengetahui bahwa Akulah TUHAN. Siapa yang pernah naik ke surga? Ada empat kesempatan dalam Alkitab di mana tampaknya individu telah pergi ke Surga; Elia, Lazarus dan Pencuri di kayu salib dan absen dari tubuh hadir bersama Yehovah. 2 Raja-raja 2:11 Kemudian terjadilah, ketika mereka melanjutkan dan berbicara, tiba-tiba sebuah kereta api muncul dengan kuda-kuda api dan memisahkan mereka berdua; dan Elia naik dengan angin puyuh ke surga. Yohanes 3:13 Tidak ada yang naik ke surga selain Dia yang turun dari surga, yaitu Anak Manusia yang ada di surga. 2 Tawarikh 21:12 Dan sepucuk surat datang kepadanya dari nabi Elia, mengatakan, (tentang 10 tahun kemudian, surat ini membuktikan bahwa dia (Elia) tidak dibawa ke surga) Demikian kata sang Tuhan Allah ayahmu David: Karena Anda belum berjalan di jalan Yosafat ayahmu, atau di jalan Asa raja Yehuda, Orang kaya dan Lazarus ● Lukas 16:19-23 “Ada seorang kaya yang berpakaian ungu dan lenan halus dan hidup mewah setiap hari. 20 Tetapi ada seorang pengemis bernama Lazarus, penuh luka, yang terbaring di pintu gerbangnya, 21 ingin diberi makan dengan remah-remah yang jatuh dari meja orang kaya itu. Apalagi anjing-anjing itu datang dan menjilat lukanya. 22 Maka terjadilah pengemis itu mati, dan dibawa oleh para malaikat ke dada Abraham. Orang kaya itu juga meninggal dan dikuburkan. 23 Dan dalam siksaan di Hades, dia mengangkat matanya dan melihat Abraham dari jauh, dan Lazarus di dadanya. Lukas 16:29 Abraham berkata kepadanya, “Mereka memiliki Musa dan para nabi; biarkan mereka mendengarnya.” 30 Dan dia berkata, “Tidak, bapa Abraham; tetapi jika seseorang pergi kepada mereka dari kematian, mereka akan bertobat.'” 31 Tetapi dia berkata kepadanya, “Jika mereka tidak mendengarkan Musa dan para nabi, mereka juga tidak akan dibujuk meskipun seseorang bangkit dari kematian.” Pencuri di kayu salib Lukas 23:39-42 Kemudian dia berkata kepada Yesus, “Tuhan, ingatlah aku ketika Engkau datang ke kerajaan-Mu.”43 Dan Yesus berkata kepadanya, “Sesungguhnya, Aku berkata kepadamu, hari ini,,,,, kamu akan bersama saya di Firdaus.” Ingatlah hal ini Tulisan Ibrani tidak memiliki koma. Dikatakan "surga", bukan surga. Pencuri itu berkata, "ingat aku ketika kamu datang ke kerajaanmu." Yohanes 20:17 Yeshua berkata kepadanya, “Jangan bergantung pada-Ku, karena Aku belum naik ke Bapa-Ku; tetapi pergilah kepada saudara-saudara-Ku dan katakan kepada mereka, "Aku naik ke Bapa-Ku dan Bapamu, dan kepada Allah-Ku dan Allahmu." Karena sama seperti Yunus tiga hari tiga malam di dalam perut ikan besar, demikian juga Anak Manusia akan tiga hari tiga malam di dalam perut bumi. absen dari tubuh yang hadir bersama Yehovah. Jaminan Kebangkitan 2 Korintus 5:8 Karena kami tahu, bahwa jika rumah kami yang di dunia ini, yaitu kemah ini, hancur, kami mempunyai bangunan dari Allah, rumah yang tidak dibuat oleh tangan manusia, kekal di surga. 2 Karena dalam hal ini kami mengeluh, dengan sungguh-sungguh ingin mengenakan tempat tinggal kami yang dari surga, 3 jika memang, setelah berpakaian, kami tidak didapati telanjang. 4 Karena kami yang berada di kemah ini mengeluh, terbebani, bukan karena kami ingin membuka pakaian, tetapi lebih lanjut berpakaian, agar kefanaan dapat ditelan oleh kehidupan. 5 Sekarang Dia yang telah mempersiapkan kita untuk hal ini adalah Tuhan, yang juga telah memberi kita Roh sebagai jaminan. 6 Jadi kami selalu percaya diri, mengetahui bahwa sementara kami berada di rumah dalam tubuh kami jauh dari Tuhan. 7 Karena kami berjalan dengan iman, bukan dengan melihat. 8 Kami yakin, ya, lebih senang untuk absen dari tubuh dan untuk hadir bersama Tuhan. 9 Oleh karena itu kami menetapkan tujuan kami, apakah hadir atau tidak, untuk menyenangkan Dia. 10 Karena kita semua harus menghadap takhta pengadilan Kristus, supaya setiap orang dapat menerima apa yang dilakukannya dalam tubuhnya, sesuai dengan apa yang telah dilakukannya, baik atau buruk. 11 Mengetahui, oleh karena itu, kengerian Tuhan, kami membujuk manusia; tetapi kami dikenal baik oleh Tuhan, dan saya juga percaya dikenal baik dalam hati nurani Anda. Pengkhotbah 12:7 maka debu akan kembali menjadi tanah seperti semula, dan roh akan kembali kepada Allah yang mengaruniakannya 1 Korintus 2:11 Karena manusia manakah yang mengetahui apa yang ada di dalam diri manusia selain roh manusia yang ada di dalam dirinya? demikian pula hal-hal tentang Allah tidak mengenal manusia, kecuali Roh Allah. Yehezkiel 37:5-6 Demikianlah firman Tuhan ALLAH kepada tulang-tulang ini; Lihatlah, Aku akan membuat nafas masuk ke dalam dirimu, dan kamu akan hidup: 6 Dan Aku akan meletakkan urat di atasmu dan akan menumbuhkan daging padamu, dan menutupimu dengan kulit, dan memberi nafas padamu, dan kamu akan hidup, dan kamu akan tahu bahwa Akulah TUHAN.

Anyone that leads others away from obedience to Gods commandments is a false prophet your pastors have done violence to My law and have profaned My holy things; they have made no distinction between the holy and the profane, and they have not taught the difference between the unclean and the clean; False Prophet False Salvation Nabi Palsu Siapa pun yang membawa orang lain menjauh dari ketaatan pada perintah-perintah Allah adalah nabi palsu. Tes Ulangan 13 Dalam Yehezkiel, Yehovah menggambarkan bagaimana para pendeta melakukan kekerasan terhadap hukum-Nya. Yehezkiel 22:26 "Imam-imamnya (pendetamu) telah melakukan kekerasan terhadap hukum-Ku dan menajiskan barang-barang kudus-Ku; mereka tidak membedakan antara yang kudus dan yang najis, dan mereka tidak mengajarkan perbedaan antara yang najis dan yang tahir; dan mereka menyembunyikan mata mereka dari hari Sabat-Ku, dan Aku dicemarkan di antara mereka. 27 "Pemimpinnya di dalam dirinya seperti serigala yang mencabik-cabik mangsanya, dengan menumpahkan darah dan menghancurkan kehidupan untuk mendapatkan keuntungan yang tidak jujur.… Tuhan berkata: Siapa pun yang lahir dari Tuhan menolak untuk melakukan dosa, karena benih Tuhan tetap ada di dalam dirinya; ia tidak dapat terus berbuat dosa, karena ia telah dilahirkan dari Allah. 10 Dengan ini anak-anak Allah dan anak-anak iblis dapat dibedakan: Siapa pun yang tidak melakukan kebenaran tidak berasal dari Allah, juga bukan siapa pun yang tidak mengasihi saudaranya.11 Inilah pesan yang telah Anda dengar sejak awal: Kita harus saling mengasihi. (Dosa adalah pelanggaran hukum) Yeshua menggunakan analogi buah dan pohon untuk mengidentifikasi nabi palsu. Buahnya adalah pemahaman akan Firman Tuhan yang ditunjukkan dalam hasil hidup yang telah memahami dan menerapkan Firman Tuhan dengan tepat. Matius 12:33 “Buatlah pohon itu baik dan buahnya baik, atau buatlah pohon itu buruk dan buahnya buruk, karena pohon itu dikenal dari buahnya. Adapun yang ditaburkan di tanah yang baik, inilah orang yang mendengar firman itu dan memahaminya. Pohonnya adalah orangnya, buahnya adalah kualitas hidup yang dihasilkan (bukan pemahaman akan Firman Tuhan melainkan penerapannya yang tepat). Ada banyak yang mengerti dan tidak menerapkan dan karena itu tidak menghasilkan buah yang baik) — orang tersebut dikenal dari buahnya atau kekurangannya. Perhatikan bahwa ia mendefinisikan apa yang ditaburkan di tanah untuk menghasilkan pohon yang baik — mendengar, memahami dan menghasilkan buah yang baik sebagaimana ia telah didefinisikan sebagai pohon yang baik. Penerapan Firman Tuhan dengan sepenuh hati, atau melakukan Firman Tuhan, akan membawa kesengsaraan bagi jiwa dalam tantangan fisik, sosial, ekonomi, psikologis, dan emosional… atau penderitaan demi kerajaan – Matius 7:18 Pohon yang baik tidak dapat menghasilkan buah yang tidak baik, dan pohon yang tidak baik tidak dapat menghasilkan buah yang baik. Jadi, lalu bagaimana kita mengkualifikasikan atau mendiskualifikasi buah yang dibicarakan Yeshua. Namun, orang yang memiliki hati yang memilih untuk mengabaikan hukum Tuhan TIDAK BERINGIN untuk mengikuti hukum Tuhan. Matius 7:20 Jadi dari buahnyalah kamu akan mengenal mereka Mat. 7:15 “Waspadalah terhadap nabi-nabi palsu. Mereka datang kepadamu dengan menyamar seperti domba, tetapi di dalam hati mereka adalah serigala yang ganas Ayat 16 “Dari buahnyalah kamu akan mengenali mereka. Apakah orang memetik buah anggur dari semak duri, atau buah ara dari rumput duri? “ Matius 7:17 “Demikian juga setiap pohon yang baik menghasilkan buah yang baik, sedang pohon yang tidak baik menghasilkan buah yang tidak baik.” Matius 7:18... "Pohon yang baik tidak dapat menghasilkan buah yang tidak baik, dan pohon yang tidak baik tidak dapat menghasilkan buah yang baik." ” Ini membuat kita tahu apa yang seharusnya ada di hati semua umat-Nya. Dan JIKA... itu ada di hati kita, maka ITU AKAN menjadi keinginan kita untuk dikejar. Dan jika itu BUKAN dalam hati seseorang maka itu akan dibuktikan dengan keinginan mereka untuk TIDAK mengejarnya. Anda ingin mematuhinya ATAU Anda ingin mengabaikannya. Mereka TIDAK BISA dicampur. Tampaknya sulit untuk menilai pendeta Anda sebagai nabi palsu ketika gaya hidup Anda sama dengan gaya hidup mereka. Buah yang harus kita waspadai adalah memilih untuk mengabaikan hukum Allah. Segala sesuatu yang lain dapat dicampur tetapi tidak ada campuran antara keinginan untuk taat dan keinginan untuk mengabaikan Hukum Tuhan. Itu salah satunya di mata Bapa. Dan ingat, melanggar satu hukum sama dengan melanggar semuanya. Amsal 15:13 Orang benar membenci dusta, tetapi orang fasik membuat dirinya bau dan mempermalukan dirinya sendiri. Amsal 14:11 Rumah orang fasik akan musnah, tetapi kemah orang jujur akan subur. 12 Ada jalan yang disangka orang lurus, tetapi ujungnya menuju maut. 1 Yohanes 3:5 Setiap orang yang lahir dari Allah menolak untuk melakukan dosa, (dosa adalah pelanggaran hukum). 1 Yohanes 3:9 Karena benih Allah tetap ada di dalam dia; ia tidak dapat terus berbuat dosa, karena ia telah dilahirkan dari Allah. 10 (Dengan ini anak-anak Allah dan anak-anak iblis dapat dibedakan:) Siapa pun yang tidak melakukan kebenaran tidak berasal dari Allah, juga bukan siapa pun yang tidak mengasihi saudaranya. 11 Inilah pesan yang telah kamu dengar sejak semula: Kita harus saling mengasihi. Ayat-ayat berikutnya harus menegaskan bagi orang-orang yang menantang kata-kata Yehovah dengan ayat-ayat pilihan yang diambil di luar konteks. Atau mereka yang membuat pernyataan yang menyatakan bahwa Yehovah entah bagaimana menghukum Israel dan memberkati gereja. Pada dasarnya mengatakan ada aturan yang berbeda untuk kelompok yang berbeda. Yesaya 53:6 Kita sekalian sesat seperti domba, masing-masing mencari temannya jalan; Tetapi Yehovah telah menyebabkan kesalahan kita semua menimpa Dia.…Yeshua. ● Bilangan 23:19 "Allah bukanlah manusia, yang harus berdusta, atau anak manusia, yang harus bertobat; Apakah Dia telah berfirman, dan apakah Dia tidak akan melakukannya? Atau apakah Dia telah berbicara, dan apakah Dia akan membuatnya? Bagus. 1 Korintus 3:3 Karena Allah bukanlah pencipta kekacauan, tetapi damai sejahtera, seperti di semua gereja orang-orang kudus. 1 Yohanes 3:4 Barangsiapa berkata, Aku mengenalnya, tetapi tidak menuruti perintah-perintah-Nya, ia adalah pendusta dan tidak ada kebenaran di dalam dirinya. Yohanes 1:14 Dan Firman itu menjadi manusia, dan diam di antara kita, (dan kita telah melihat kemuliaan-Nya, kemuliaan sebagai Anak Tunggal Bapa,) penuh kasih karunia dan kebenaran. ● Pengkhotbah 12:14 Marilah kita mendengar kesimpulan dari keseluruhan masalah ini: Takutlah akan Tuhan, dan patuhi perintah-perintah-Nya: karena inilah seluruh kewajiban manusia. Amsal 28: 9 Siapa memalingkan telinganya dari mendengarkan hukum, doanya pun adalah kekejian. 10 Siapa menyesatkan orang lurus ke jalan yang jahat akan jatuh ke lubangnya sendiri, Tetapi orang yang tidak bercela akan mewarisi kebaikan.… ● Amsal 2:1 Anakku, jika engkau mau menerima kata-kataku dan menyimpan perintah-perintahku di dalam dirimu; 2 Buatlah telingamu memperhatikan hikmat, condongkan hatimu pada pengertian; 3 Karena jika Anda menangis untuk membedakan, angkat suara Anda untuk pengertian; … 2 Petrus 3: 6 Dia menulis seperti ini di semua suratnya, berbicara di dalamnya tentang hal-hal seperti itu. Beberapa bagian dari surat-suratnya sulit untuk dipahami, yang diselewengkan oleh orang-orang bodoh dan tidak stabil, seperti yang mereka lakukan pada bagian Kitab Suci lainnya, untuk kehancuran mereka sendiri. 17 Oleh karena itu, yang terkasih, karena kamu sudah mengetahui hal-hal ini, waspadalah agar tidak terbawa oleh kesalahan para pelanggar hukum dan jatuh dari kedudukan amanmu.… 1 Yohanes 3:4 Setiap orang yang melakukan dosa juga melakukan pelanggaran hukum. Memang, dosa adalah pelanggaran hukum. Galatia 3:10 Karena semua orang yang melakukan hukum Taurat berada di bawah kutuk; karena ada tertulis, “Terkutuklah setiap orang yang tidak melanjutkan dalam segala hal yang tertulis di dalam kitab hukum, untuk melakukannya. “Tetapi bahwa tidak seorang pun dibenarkan oleh hukum di pandangan Allah terbukti, karena “orang benar akan hidup oleh iman. “Namun hukum itu bukan berdasarkan iman, tetapi “orang yang melakukannya akan hidup karenanya.” Yeshua telah menebus kita dari kutukan hukum, telah menjadi kutukan bagi kita (karena ada tertulis, “Terkutuklah setiap orang yang bergantung pada pohon”), agar berkat Abraham dapat datang atas orang-orang bukan Yahudi di Yeshua, agar kita dapat menerima janji Roh melalui iman.
