The Fear of God Taught by the Precepts of Men (Part 1)
This was the lesson we did today in church. All these scriptures will be about how the whole world follows the Precepts of men, and not the Word of God. We are going to start in Matthew. If you would get out you Bible, and go to Mathew 4:1-4.
Ok, we read this Jesus was in the Wilderness, and he was tempted by the Devil, but he said man will not live by bread alone. We are going to see in James1:18 what other than bread will man live by.
Now we read that man will live by the Word of Truth to be a kind of first fruits of his creatures.We are going to read in 2 Timothy 3:15-17. We are going to find out what is this word of Truth, and what it is good for.
Here is what we read so far. We read that Jesus told the Devil that man will not live by bread alone, and we found out that the word of Truth is what man will live by, and we found out in 2 Timothy that the word of Truth is good for doctrine, reproof, for correction, and instruction in righteousness. So now we know that the Word of Truth is the scriptures, and the scriptures are the instructions in righteousness, and through these scriptures man can be perfect, and the scriptures are given by the Inspiration of God. This is why Jesus told the Devil that man will not live by bread alone. Let's go further. Let's go to Proverbs 15:29-33.
We read that the Lord is far from the wicked, and he hear the prayer of the righteous. He alos read that he that refuse instruction despises his own soul. So, you hate yourself when you refuse instruction, and we read that the scriptures are the instructions in righteousness. So, if we refuse the scriptures, we refuse instruction, and we hate ourselves. We also found out that the fear of the Lord is the instruction of wisdom, but if we refuse instruction , and hate ourselves, how will we fear the Lord. Think about it. Let's go further. Let's go to Proverbs 1:1-4
SO, we read that Solomon, who was the wisest man in the Bible said to know wisdom and and instruction is to perceive the Word of Understanding. Didn't we read earlier the scriptures was the Word of Truth. So we must perceive the scriptures to get wisdom and instruction. If we don't we despise instruction, and hate ourselves. Let's move on. Go to John 6:48-56. Now skip down to verse 63 and read it.
So now we got Jesus saying that he is the bread of life. But we read that Jesus said man will not live by bread alone, and we later found out that the scriptures is what we need to follow to get understanding and wisdom. What is this bread of life? He went on to say eat my flesh and drink my blood, and the Jews didn't understand. They were like they guy wants us to eat his flesh, and drink his blood. Jesus didn't mean literally either, The multitude that was there left because in their minds, this man just said to eat him, and drink his blood, so they left, skip down to John 6:67-68
So, Jesus has the words of eternal life. That is why he is the bread of life, and that is what he meant by eat my flesh and drink my blood. The words that he speaks is eternal life. Meaning if you do what he says we will receive eternal life. So, we have learned that we must follow the scriptures in order to get wisdom and understand, and instruction. we also learned that if we don't follow the scriptures we despise instruction, and hate our souls. We read all of that didn't we? Now we know that the scriptures are good for instruction in righteousness, and the words of Jesus, who is the word of Truth, and the scriptures is eternal life. Let's go further. We have been reading what the Bible says about how to follow the scriptures, and what it means to man. Go to Isaiah 55:1-3
So how can you buy milk and wine without money and without price? The Lord is talking about the scriptures. Come and follow the scriptures, and he will make an everlasting covenant. Skip down to Isaiah 55:6-11
See the Lord is saying that you better follow him while he is near. Cause it's gonna come a time when he won't be found, and it will be in the tribulation when he won't be found. Cause you know people are going to be Lord help us all over the place, but the Lord said that he will not be found. His thoughts are higher than our thoughts, so why don't follow the scriptures. They are good for instruction in righteous, doctrine, reproof. They give you wisdom, and understanding if you will allow instruction. we read that is we don't like instruction we hate ourselves or souls. Let's go further Let's go to John 21:15-17
You see how Peter got grieved at the Lord asking him all those times if he loved him. And the Lord said if you love him, "FEED HIS SHEEP". Let's go to Ezekiel 3:1-3
Now he wasn't talking about a literal roll. This was a Prophet, and he had to learn how to read the word to be able to teach the people. The roll is the word of God or word of Truth or the Scriptures or Jesus' words. Remember Jesus' words are eternal life. Skip down to Ezekiel 3:10-21
So the Lord is telling Ezekiel that he must learn and teach this word. If he does not teach the word or warn the people because the Lord made him a watchman, The Lord will kill Ezekiel. So, when you are a Preacher because if someone goes to the fire, and you could have warned them, and didn't, He will require of you. So, be careful when you call yourself a preacher. Now go to Isaiah 30, and gonna read 1 verse, verse 8. Isaiah 30:8.
Now He said that Isaiah had to write the Word in a table, and note it in a book, so that it may be for a time to come. So we have learned that eternal life is Jesus' words, and the scriptures are instructions in righteousness, and if we despise instruction we hate our souls. That tells me that we need to follow what we read, and not what we interpret. If the Lord told Isaiah to write it down, he told all of the other Prophets to right it down. Remember we read that all scripture come from the inspiration of God. Now we are going to end this Thread. If you want me to post part 2 post on the thread that you do or don't, or comment or beat it down, I am sure the False Prophets will take a crack at it, but If we don't believe the words and follow them, then we can't get eternal life. We are going to focus on what the Precepts of men and, and how and why we follow them. Give feedback.

Hezekiah,
To continue to lie is to do so without any intention of repenting. The example I gave you was not from the intent on continuing in sin with no conscience.
Can you at least try to stick with the specific point I was making?
This is the very problem we will always have in trying to dialogue constructively. You simply do not stay with the specifics of what a person is saying. I gave an example of committing one act of sin and you turned it into a disaster of continuous acts of sin. You read in part what you want to read and then preach condemnation.
I give up on any further attempts to actually dialogue with you in a constructive manner. You speak what you will and I'll continue to speak what I will, and call it a day.
/Gee Wiz!

Heb.10
[26] For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,
[27] But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.
Bro. Harris...you may want to re-think what you think MAY not happen to you.
If you know not to lie and you do it anyway you WILL pay the price. And above, the scriptures says the price will be;
"a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries."
You do not have to believe it, but that's what God's inspired word says.
Also, I'm still waiting for a reply to the question I presented. Here it is again, if you missed it;
Why would Jesus give us His laws, then suspend them for a while, only to have us to keep, ALL OF THEM, when he returns?

Bro. Kinta,
You are doing the same as Bro. Hezekiah.
Do not think for a moment that I do not know the Bible.
You two are so bent on rejecting everything a person saids until you puposely look for something in their comment to condemn. You never read it in the original context because you have this prideful need to ALWAYS BE RIGHT!
So, tryiing to dialogue with you is senseless as well. You will never actually read anybody's comment without looking for ways to plug holes into them.
Shalom

Bro. Kunta,
If I say there are days when the sky is blue, you will say it's mostly gray because I am not looking at it from some other perspective.
There is this need to oppose what a person is saying if they are not saying what you think should be said. And the reason I say this, is simply because I am a Christian and you are a professed Israelite. This alone continues to keep us in debate because of our beliefs. So, what would be the point in continuing a dialogue - we have yet to agree on anything except there is a God who is the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. That's pretty much it.
And, it wouldn't surprise me one bit if you found some reason to refute me on this statement as well.
Shalom -

Sister, you are just trying to get around the truth. We are rejecting the lies you tell. You may not know they are lies, but we do because we read the book how the Lord wants it read. You say that we are to keep the commandments, but have ye converted. Is Sunday still your day?

Praise the LORD sista,Harris
I completely understand & respect , what you are saying
You asked-do you really know what it takes to get saved?
Ok saved/salvation/salvage --- this is refering to eternal life
(the 2nd deaf / because your gettin eternal something) this where this saving comes in @ the judgement ,we sav ourselves being found doing all that the lord commanded us (ecc.12:13) This is the sum of the matter(rev.22:14-15)
as far as the feastdays
sista Harris you said- As to the Feast of Days, this was a shadow of the first coming of the Messiah, for which He came and left, but will come again - the Second Coming.
However, there are no NT scriptures that says we do not have to or should not keep the Feast of Days or Dietary Law. These commandments were not given to the NT believers, but it would not hurt to adhere to them.
the LORD change not (isa.1:13-14) clear says it's a sin the change his feastdays
further Jesus kept the feast his entire life(Luke 2:40-43 ) and died on the passover(Matthew 26:2) , and the feast of week(The day of pentacost) was still being held long after jesus,(acts2) also you find paul saying he mus by all means keep the feast
(Acts 18:21) because they all knew the law (deut.16:16)
What need be understood is that there was no nt, Paul peached out of the old test teaching and quoting from the prophets and the torah(Acts 24:14/26:22/28:13)
