Yes, that exactly!
Faith, the loving willful keeping of the commandments.
The thing that cost those that fell in the desert, as Paul noted in his epistle to the Hebrews.
Paul clearly stated that they had the same Gospel that He himself preached.

All to the glory of I AM, otherwise known as Jesus Christ. He has appointed us to preach the gospel. Some people may not like that. Such is life I say. It doesnt bother me. Some people hate Jesus. Jesus will deal with them. Remember the king said, now, as to those who would have me reign over them, bring them here, and slay them before me. I see no reason to sugar coat it. Jesus certainly didnt. 😇

>> “If one convinces others to serve him as an idol, he is guilty of a capital sin.” <<
Well, we are in no danger there, since he is not an idol, he is the living, resurrected Lamb of Yehova!
He is “That Prophet” that Moses said we must Shema!
.
>> “He has appointed us to preach the gospel.” <<
And more!
He also said that we must bear fruit or we will be hewn down and burned with the stubble.
.
Verse(s) please.
.
John 15 comes to mind.
.
.
You are right!
.
6If anyone does not abide in Me, he is thrown away as a branch and dries up; and they gather them, and cast them into the fire and they are burned.
7If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. 8My Father is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit, and so prove to be My disciples. 9Just as the Father has loved Me, I have also loved you; abide in My love. 10If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love; just as I have kept My Fathers commandments and abide in His love. 11These things I have spoken to you so that My joy may be in you, and that your joy may be made full.
John 15:1-11 NASB
For context.
Might want to read it a bit closer.
We as in, all the cultists who follow Rood?? It means what they say it means.
Because Christians know no such thing.
WE do??
Because God is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him, He will be found when we search for Him with all our heart. Jesus said:
Those who are seeking to know the truth will hear it in God's Divinely-inspired word just as the Jews did before Jesus came. I heard the word and it convicted my heart and led me to faith in the Messiah Jesus. Maybe you will one day realize what you left and be reconciled back to God through the Christ.
No, they are not but should you die in unbelief you will see for yourself. I pray your eyes are opened and God gives you a heart of flesh instead of stone.
So he said to the man who took care of the vineyard, ‘For three years now I’ve been coming to look for fruit on this fig tree and haven’t found any. Cut it down! Why should it use up the soil?’”’Sir,’ the man replied, ‘leave it alone for one more year, and I’ll dig around it and fertilize it.If it bears fruit next year, fine. If not, then cut it down.’” - Luke 13:7-9
Genesis 2:16-17
And the Lord God commanded the man, You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will certainly die.
And then...
> I wonder who will be the one to enforce that capital sin?
G-d will look upon the ways of an individual and judge him for his every action, even if he is not under the jurisdiction of a court of law, or if the court is not able to judge him, or if the court does not know about his behavior.
> One can either think he was a deluded fruitcake.
Yes.
> Either jesus christ is a demented liar.
Yes.
> the ones who were keeping the Law of Moses. Isnt that somewhat similar to what you do?
No. The keepers of the Law of Moses are my teachers and friends.
> If you are right, everything will be ok. If you are wrong........
The entire Jewish people personally experienced the revelation of G-d at Sinai, each individual in effect becoming a prophet, and each one verifying the experience of the other. With their own eyes they saw, and with their own ears they heard, as the Divine voice spoke to them. That public revelation authenticated the bona fide status of Moses as a prophet of G-d and the Divine origin of the instructions he recorded in the Torah. That, and that alone, is the criterion for the belief in, and acceptance of, Moses and his teachings. Sinai was a unique testimony to a group of millions of people. There never was again any occurrence of public Divine speech to an entire nation.
> Your sins are not forgiven without the shedding of blood.
G-d accepts sincere repentance and forgives the repentant sinner for his transgression.
No, I believe in God and in Jesus Christ because I have searched to know it with all my heart and God's word spoke to my heart and opened my eyes to the truth. With the same faith Jews possess because God "told them to" is the same faith that believers in Jesus Christ hold to. The books of Moses and the prophets go together as well as the writings of the gospel accounts of the life and teachings of Jesus Christ and the further continuation of God's revelation to Jesus' disciples who witnessed his resurrection and their writings by inspiration of the Holy Spirit of God that we hold to today of the faith once delivered unto the saints.
I pray you return to the faith you once held and realize that it is not in a denomination but in the person of Jesus Christ who loves you and is drawing you back to him.
One who pronounces the Explicit Name will be uprooted from the world.
I don't think so. Why would he require Jews to have a blood sacrifice Temple system for sin and you get off with sincerity?
