I keep the commandments that G-d gave to gentiles. I don't steal, I don't murder or commit adultery, I don't go after false gods, I don't covet my neighbors goods etc... it really isn't that hard.
WHEN did God give the commandments to the gentiles?
Why do you only grab ‘repentance’ from the NT and discount the rest?
If Jesus was ONLY a man - why do you believe Him when He says ‘repent’ and NOT when Jesus says
‘Believe on Me’ and ‘If you know Me, you know My Father the One who sent Me’.
‘By My Stripes you are healed’.
“Ask My Father anything in My Name and He will give it to you”. etc, etc, etc, etc, etc.
Jesus says....
John 10:18
No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.
John 10:15 even as the Father knows Me and I know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep.
John 15:10 “If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love; just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love.
Philippians 2:8 Being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.
Hebrews 5:8 Although He was a Son, He learned obedience from the things which He suffered.
Matthew 26:53 “Or do you think that I cannot appeal to My Father, and He will at once put at My disposal more than twelve legions of angels?
“He who believes in Me does not believe in Me, but in Him who sent Me. And he who beholds Me beholds the One who sent Me. I have come as light into the world, that everyone who believes in Me may not remain in darkness.” (John 12:44-46)
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but through Me. If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; from now on you know Him, and have seen Him.”
NO ONE can go to Our FATHER God but through Jesus. Because of our sin - we were separate from God and ONLY Jesus can unite us w/The Father. So you can repent all you want - but you are speaking in the wind!
Remember, sin is having a strange god. Without Jesus as Savior, you cannot serve/obey The God of the Bible.
