>> “I seem to recall you don’t care much for Paul?” <<

You search far and wide for support of your contra-scriptural false commandments!

Where would you get the idea that I do not care for Paul?

Paul, James, John and Peter all demand the same: that we keep Yeshua’s commandments.

What does a wall of hostility have to do with your desire to put the word of God asunder? You are looking for a wall that doesn't exist to give excuse to work iniquity.

Matthew 5:

17] Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
[18] For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
[19] Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.


>> "I recognize the Hebrew Roots/Torah Observant lingo in your posts quite well" <<

Wonderful! - But do you recognize it in All of Yeshua's and John's words? - Or is your recognition selective?

Do you also recognize that there is absolutely no relationship between your "justification by works" and the obedient keeping of Yeshua's commandments? - Or is your recognition again selective?

Paul's and James' declarations that only doers of the law will be justified is not a declaration that their justification is the direct result of their keeping of the commandments, but of the simple fact that Yeshua writes his commandments on the hearts of all who are his own. Keep on wishing to be free of the commandments, and Yehova will send all the strong delusion that you need!

Do you really know what sin is?

1John 3:

[4] Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
[5] And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.
[6] Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.


So if you promote abandonment of Torah, how then do you not promote sin? The two are one!

One could be forgiven, after reading your posts, for thinking that you don’t care for Paul. I apologize for misjudging you on that point.

Where you come up with such confused hostility towards me based on my posts baffles. In the few interactions on this INTERNET forum between us you claim I am:

1) ...”looking for a wall that doesn’t exist to give excuse to work iniquity”
2)...”wishing to be free of the commandments” (and ripe for the strong delusion of 2 Thessalonians)
3)...ignorant of sin’s meaning
4)...promoting “abandonment of the Torah” and thus sin!

That’s a lot of mind reading. I clearly told you I do not promote lawlessness. Not guilty on all counts, Sir!

There is therefore now NO CONDEMNATION for those who are in Christ Jesus.

Discuss the issues all you want, but do not make it personal.
