You are lying to yourself, cultist. You are showing you have faith in yourself to keep the law so you are worthy. God says THAT is anathema to His Grace.p> You want Jesus to be crucified so you can show how righteous you ca be after He cleanses your filthy spirit. THAT is the very depth of the spirit of unbelief. You are living in the Sin of unbelief because you do not believe Jesus fulfilled the law for you.

BTW cultist sycophant of Ellen white, false prophetess, I have no need to know the exact mark of the beast. I won't be here when it is revealed. You, on the other hand, need to pay attention so you can reject it when it is commanded to you ... if you surcvive the catastrophic chaos which will follow the Rapture/greta Departure of the Body of Christ Believers who hae the righteousness of Christ imputed to them (not earned, IMPUTED).

Yes.

It’s very important that Satan take control of the best-armed nation in the world.

And we have the absolute best nuclear weapons and the best delivery systems.

These need to be under the control of a “global” body. Such would give the Daniel 7:23 world 🌎🌍 government real teeth.

All he needs is godless leadership (in America) to be in charge of that. And lead the population into constant error through lies and manipulation.

Preparing the ground for debut of Satan’s anti-messiah.

The 7 years of ‘Peace and Security’ cannot be too far off.

Another Great Book is Hebrews for this discussion.

And although the author is not noted, I believe it was also Paul.

Again, speaking to those who were yet in bondage.

Sda’s place their faith in their own works, notably, the Sabbath. But what they fail to understand is that Jesus has become our Sabbath, in fact, He always was, because as noted in Hebrews chapters 10 and 11 describe that by faith it was accounted to the old Testament saints for righteousness. They, by faith entered into His rest.

Which was always given according to the promise. Though hidden.

1’st Peter 1:19-20

19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:

20 Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,

We know He is our rest, because we have entered in. And not for one day, but seven, because we rest in Him.

Note the following....

Hebrews 3:7-19
King James Version
7 Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice,

8 Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness:

9 When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years.

10 Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways.

11 So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.)

12 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.

13 But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.

14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;

15 While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.

16 For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.

17 But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness?

18 And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not?

19 So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.

Hebrews 4:1-11
King James Version
4 Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.

2 For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.

3 For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.

4 For he spake in a certain place of the seventh day on this wise, And God did rest the seventh day from all his works.

5 And in this place again, If they shall enter into my rest.

6 Seeing therefore it remaineth that some must enter therein, and they to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief:

7 Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.

8 For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day.

9 There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.

10 For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.

11 Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.

Patriot,

You couldn’t have picked better passages than what you posted from “Hebrews.” Unfortunately, it will fall on deaf ears.

However, anyone passing by, and particularly those new in the faith, will gain great advantage from your post.

Great job!

——>You are lying to yourself, cultist. You are showing you have faith in yourself to keep the law so you are worthy.

Nope, that would be dopey. I am saved by faith (grace) and because of what Christ did for me on the cross, I voluntarily choose to show my love and obey Him by keeping his commandments, as he CLEARLY tells us to do. Those who continue to sin willfully and unrepentantly, AFTER GRACE, will not be in heaven.

Hebrews 10:
26For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,

27But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.

28He that despised Moses’ law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:

29Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?

30For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people.

31It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

——>OK. You are again fetching from the OT.

Well, I’m certainly not the first to do so.

Acts 17:
10And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews.

11These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.

12Therefore many of them believed; also of honourable women which were Greeks, and of men, not a few.

Be careful not to let any bricks fall on your head.

BANG!!! (See what I mean?)

Thanks Sister.

It makes so much sense that God chose the Apostle Paul as the Apostle unto the Gentiles. He was learned in Judaism from his youth, and studied under the most credentialed.

Yet, going back to chapter 11 of Romans, we read that because the Jews refused the Grace offered to them, and entered not into His Rest, God turned to the Gentiles and grafted us into that Rest to provoke the Jew into jealousy. And chose the Apostle Paul to deliver that hidden message of Grace to the Gentiles. Paul himself having been blinded on that road to Damascus.

What’s again noteworthy is that we as Gentiles were grafted into the vine. But we as the inferior were grafted in, against nature to the superior.

And despite what false teachers suggest, God IS NOT done with the nation of Israel.

To believe such a thing really does exhibit their complete lack of knowledge and rejection of God’s Promise.

If we can’t keep God’s law, why does he tell us the EXACT OPPOSITE? Why does he keep telling us that it will be COMMANDMENT KEEPERS that will be in heaven and law breakers that will not? Why, dude?

Matthew 5:
17Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.

18For 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.

19Whosoever 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.

20For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.

You are too stupid to see which commandments we are told to keep. And keeping the correct ones is an aspect of being in His family, not under the law of Moses ... unless of course you believe yourself to be a direct descendant of Jacob.

It is a sad thing to see an intelligent person so full of themselves that they cannot see their own deadly pride at work. Here's a clue for you, elen white sycophant, YOU cannot keep the law of Moses.

Daniel’s 70 week prophecy says otherwise.

How about the words of Christ?

Matthew 23:
37O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones those sent to her, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were unwilling! 38Look, your house is left to you desolate. 39For I tell you that you will not see Me again until you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.’ ”…

LOOK, YOUR HOUSE IS LEFT TO YOU DESOLATE.

Absolutely clear proof. They are done. Finished.

18 At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?

2 And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them,

3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

BTW, cultist, look up the meaning of ‘imputed’, because Jesus kept the law since it was his nature, his character, and GOD imputes that righteousness to everyone He births from above. Look up ‘imputed’, if you dare.

God IS NOT a Covenant breaker!

Genesis 15:

13 And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years;

14 And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance.

15 And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age.

16 But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full.

17 And it came to pass, that, when the sun went down, and it was dark, behold a smoking furnace, and a burning lamp that passed between those pieces.

18 In the same day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:

19 The Kenites, and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites,

20 And the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaims,

21 And the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.

Again I say, God IS NOT A COVENANT BREAKER. He has made a promise to Israel.

I would warn any from calling God a liar.

22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.

23 And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again.

24 For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?

25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.

26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:

27 For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins.

28 As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the father’s sakes.

29 For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.

30 For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief:

31 Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy.

32 For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.

33 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!

34 For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor?

35 Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again?

36 For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.
