Those who love and follow God keep His commandments. Those who don’t, are liars. You willfully break the 4th commandment. JOHN defines you as a LIAR.

BB: You are preaching an accursed gospel of works for salvation. Don't deny it!
Of course I'm denying your garbage (LOL)
---------------------------------------------------------
BB: Though you claim to believe in grace, you show no comprehension of what salvation by the grace of God through faith in Jesus Christ means.
This coming from a known false accuser, bearer of false witness, and willful commandment breaker, who TEACHES that Christians have a license to sin and that there is no PENALTY for unrepentant sin. Unrepentant Rape, fraud, and adultery doesn't matter. Even if Ravi did it (and I'm not saying he did), HE'S STILL GOING TO HEAVEN and so are all of his unrepentant sinner friends, whomever they may be. That's as false a gospel as there ever was.
3And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
4He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a LIAR, and the truth is not in him.

BB: According to your false religion, unless everyone observes the Sabbath as you do, they are lawless and can't be saved.
Plenty of Christians serve God with the light they have received. They may not have ever heard of the 7th-day-Sabbath, or, if they have, not understand enough about it to make a responsible decision. They serve God with what limited information they have. YOU ARE NOT ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE. You have made a calculated and informed decision to NOT keep the 7th-day-Sabbath and teach others the same. You are committing LAWLESSNESS. At this time in earth's history, it's the same as breaking any other commandment. At the time of the MOTB it will determine your salvation.
--------------------------------------------------------
BB: Good luck facing the Lord at your judgment and boasting about what a good person you are and how well you kept the commandments and deserve to go to heaven.
I never said that or even implied it, so, you are certainly a liar and still a bearer of false witness, AND, you have no business condemning anyone. Calling you and your friends out as LAWLESS COMMANDMENT BREAKERS who teach REBELLION against God's law (that's what Satan did BTW), is no more than me stating a fact. It is God's 10 commandment law, located in the Ark of His Testament, that is the standard of Judgment. Nothing that defileth will enter heaven. You should remember that.
27And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.
12Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
14Blessed 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.
I suggest you repent and start obeying your Creator.
Why don't you be honest for once and admit it galls you to think that there are Christians who disagree with your cult's interpretation of Scripture, who genuinely love the Lord, believe in the promises of God, demonstrate in their lives that they love God through living holy lives in obedience to Him through the power of the indwelling Holy Spirit and WILL be in heaven for eternity because of God's grace? Here you strive to make yourself worthy by your works when it is clear as day that we CANNOT EVER BE WORTHY OR DESERVE SALVATION. That is why it is by grace we are saved and NOT our works. You are trusting in your deeds to save you and they NEVER can!
You accuse me of teaching "that Christians have a license to sin and that there is no PENALTY for unrepentant sin" which I have NEVER done - that DOES make you a liar and a false accuser! Show the post where I did that - you can't and you will bluster and huff some excuse for why you can't. Your pride has blinded you from understanding what GRACE means, just like the Pharisee in Jesus' example. It is not a license to sin with no consequences. Rather, it is the unmerited favor of God by which He gives us eternal life when we place our trust in Him. It is a new birth by which the Holy Spirit indwells us until the day of redemption, convicts us of sin, spurs us to live holy lives that honor God, to walk in newness of life not to be saved but because we are saved. And part of that grace is the discipline of our Heavenly Father who chastens, corrects and nurtures us as He is conforming us into the image of Christ. Those "consequences" you claim we say don't exist ARE part of God's work within our hearts. What you refuse to accept is that the consequence of hell - of actually losing our eternal salvation because of what we may do - is NOT one of them. When He saves us, HE saves us for eternity because if we are not saved by our works, we cannot be kept saved by our works either. Perhaps one day you will get it.
I still pray for you that your spiritual eyes are opened and you come to genuine faith in Christ and are saved. Then you will rejoice in the assurance of your salvation and serve God out of gratitude for His unspeakable gift rather than obligation and fear.
