Btw, I’m neither a catholic. In fact by your own submission to salvation by either Law or tradition, you have aligned yourself with catholics and have denied the True Salvation which is by Grace alone not of works lest any man should boast.
Jesus is my Sabbath and because of that I rest from works 24-7.
You are more than welcome to break any commandment you wish and attempt to justify it any way you choose. God gives you the free choice to do just that. One thing I know for sure, PT, and that is that commandment keepers will be in heaven. Conscious, willful law breakers will not.
Rev 12: 17And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
Rev 14:12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
Rev 22:14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
What commandments is John talking about here?
quote- “You are more than welcome to break any commandment you wish and attempt to justify it any way you choose”
Response- It certainly seems you have already condemned anyone not observing the Sabbath according to your interpretation. I guess Eternal life is only possible for those who elevate themselves to the righteousness you boast of yourself.
Quote- “What commandments is John talking about here?”
Response- the Commandments of the Law which none are able to keep. Here is wisdom...this right to the Tree of Life can only be obtained one way. That is by washing ones robes in the Blood of the Lamb.
Matthew 22:
34 But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together.
35 Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying,
36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
38 This is the first and great commandment.
39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
Again, since your faith is in your own ability to keep the Sabbath, I ask the following...
Did Jesus break the Sabbath by healing the lame on the Sabbath?
Matthew 12:
10 And, behold, there was a man which had his hand withered. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath days? that they might accuse him.
Matthew 12:
11 And he said unto them, What man shall there be among you, that shall have one sheep, and if it fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift it out?
12 How much then is a man better than a sheep? Wherefore it is lawful to do well on the sabbath days.
I ask, not because the Word of God places us under the Law, but rather because you are justifying yourself by the works of the Law.
As I already quoted to you:
Galatians 5:2-4
King James Version
2 Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.
3 For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.
4 Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.
Ephesians 2:8-10
King James Version
8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
Are you Jewish?
The Law was never placed upon the necks of the Gentiles. In fact, since the Jews as a nation have yet rejected the Grace through Calvary, they have become debtors to the Law.
