Ah. Listen again to St. Paul:

Romans 6:6
knowing this, that our old self was crucified with Him, in order that our body of sin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be slaves to sin..

And then he says:

Col 1:24
Now I rejoice in the sufferings for you, and I am filling up in my flesh that which is lacking of the sufferings of Christ for His body, which is the church.

So, rather mysteriously, it seems to involve being one with the One Christ in His perfect sacrifice, which we are joined with, because we are joined with Him.

That's the key.

Philippians 2:12-13
Therefore, my beloved, continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling. For it is God who works in you to will and to act on behalf of His good pleasure.

How I thank God for these truths about our part in His saving work.

Have you been born from above yet? Or are you still striving to obtain salvation?

No, the deviations from the plain word are grossly false teaching.

It it won’t line up with John’s first epistle, it is from the adversary.

If it won’t line up with Romans chapter 2, it is from the adversary.

If it won’t line up with Matthew chapter 5: 17-20 it calls our savior a liar.

If Matthew 7: 21-23 has you finding reasons why it doesn’t apply to you, it applies to you. If you can’t understand why the Pharisees were rejected by Yeshua, its time to pray for revelation of the word.

I was born from above by Baptism some 65 years ago.

As for my salvation, Christ has saved me, Christ is saving me, and by His mercy I hope to be saved......

quote-Makes everything a bit moot then; doesn’t it.

Not really Elsie- That sign of Revelation 12 was able to be seen in part in 2014,2015,and 2016.
And when it occurs on the Father’s calendar is biblical significant.

Plus, it was a key that showed me when the Word became Flesh.

And Rome is about 4 months off with their ‘December 25’. Which isn’t insignificant.
It is biblical and creation proof that Rome has created a Jesus in a Roman image.
And everything Rome teaches starts with that false day.and the hits just keep going...

What that sign represented in 2014,2015 and 2016, when the sun was traveling through the woman - and the moon ended up at her feet- is the day the Word became Flesh, according to Revelation.

And a couple thousand years ago, it would be ‘earlier’ than it shows today-
Today, it represented the 1st Day of the 7th month (Day of trumpets) in 2014 and 2016.
And represented the 1st Day of the 8th month in 2015.

I attempted a screenshot on your advice on October 3rd 2016 when it happened again.

3 years in a row- not according to Rome’s calendar- but the biblical calendar found in Ezekiel 46:1.

Day of the New Moon- A set apart day at the start of every month in the Father’s calendar.(ezekiel 46:1 template)

A day that commemorates the Beginning, before His 1st Day, when He said Let there be Light.
And a day that also commemorates the Word becoming Flesh 2,000 years ago.
In the Beginning was the Word.

Quite a day...one the world ignores for the most part... And that sign keeps moving due to the wobble.
Some day it will be in the 8th month, instead of the 7th month.
When that happens, the ‘Lion’ takes over the 7th month Feast days.

not moot- prophetic..

>> “Why do you persist in these lies?” <<

Because he inherited lies, just as you and I did, sitting in a pew listening to man made religion that replaced the word of Yehova and his son in the mid 4th century.

When the ancient scriptures were cast aside, a wall was built between man and the renewed covenant with the House of Judah and the House of Israel (Jer 31:31-34)

Until Yehova’s Torah is written on your heart, it will be lies that are spoken, because as John explained “the truth is not in him.” (1John 2:4)

Blah blah, twit.

I was Lutheran for over thirty years, I can assure you between that and the Independent Baptists my parents were I heard all kinds of lies that all started and ended with individuals each deciding for themselves what the Truth was rather than obeying the subset of Scripture they claimed they accepted.

The Synagogue of Satan, that's what has expanded into a great deal of the US Evangelical community.

Lutheran, protestant, so what?

A protesting catholic is still a catholic, lost in that catholic “synagogue of Satan.”

“Christianity” is just as man made as Phariseeism, or Islam. You have to turn to the pure word of Yehova.

"I was born from above by Baptism some 65 years ago."

So you believe that the act of a Catholic priest sprinkling your baby head with water and saying a prescription of words birth you from above? ... Yet another example of why the religion of catholiciism is not Christianity.

One of the greatest lies from satan is that everyone baptized by a Catholic priest is saved right then, albeit they can lose it then regain it ... IF the institutional hierarchy grants it.

You seem to look at Catholicism through a lens that systematically distorts every single thing. I am not blaming you: I do not at all think you do this consciously.

My friend, I am busy in the kitchen and haven't the time to address your notions in depth. Please accept my wishes for you to have a wonderful Thanksgiving --- yes, there is so much to be thankful for.

LOL . . .

Someone who obeys the Pharisees Christ condemned by only accepting the Anti-Christ, Anti-Christian, Pharisee Rabbi Approved !! Luther Subset of The Bible saying someone else is a Pharisee !!

You just can't get any funnier than that. Or more deluded.

To be accurate, “Christianity” was invented by Constantine and Eusebius in the mis 4th century.

But what we call Christianity is not the faith of the apostles. It departs from the core of the renewed covenant with its machinations and humanism.

The renewed covenant of Jeremiah 31 is exactly the old covenant, perfected in the sinless blood of Yeshua, with the law of righteousness written on the hearts of the assembly as prophesied by Jeremiah and many other prophets.

Without the lessons of Torah, how would we ever find our way? We are inherently sinful, and would at every juncture turn away from the narrow path to the interstate highway of sin.

By embracing and studying we become changed; conformed to his way.

You are one of those Pharisees.

All that you preach is man made, just like every pharisee.

Your takanot may be different, yet takanot they are.

I used to believe that, but I don't anymore.

Good thoughts. Read the following recently. Interesting statement from Jesus himself as to why he came. Much to think about .........................

Joh 18:37 Pilate said, “So You are a king?” Jesus responded, “You say I am a king. Actually, I was born and came into the world to testify to the truth. All who love the truth recognize that what I say is true.”

Your own personal Jesus.

There is a song:

Good song, but not the way to learn who Jesus was...........
