Proverbs 28:9 "He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination."
I am sick and tired of seeing all this divided arguing and debating and literally separating of Gods Word into different parts choosing what to live by and what not to!
Claiming "Well this part of the bible says this, so it means I do not have to worry about that other part" ... NO! Some of you desperately need to get your heads out of the flames!
Observing the Sabbath and going to church are not the same things. Using the Day Of Pentecost as reason for having Sunday church is a poor defense because the disciples did their work for God every day of the week, all year long. I am not saying there is necessarily a problem with conducting church services on Sunday, but most people believe that is the Sabbath, so they fail to observe it at the rightful given time in the Bible. Thereby many choose not to work on Sunday (if able) which is still ignoring Gods Fourth Commandment. The Sabbath falls between sunset Friday and sunset Saturday, leaving ample opportunity to give your time to God even if you are stuck working those days ...
And how dare anyone claim we are not under Gods law and still expect to be under His grace. That does not mean we no longer have to live by His commandments! If you reject and ignore any part of Gods Word you will not be under His grace or receive His welcome into Heaven in the end!
Using Romans 6:14 without reading the previous verses is like using Romans 10:9-10 to say its not required to be baptized ... they each come after the obedience to Gods Word and continually living in accordance to it ...
Romans 6 right at the start of the chapter states the question: "What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?" and again in verse 15! "What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid." I highly recommend you finish this entire chapter!
Deuteronomy 30:14 says: "But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest DO IT"
Verse 14 means that sin no longer has dominion over us, but Gods grace protects us from the influence of sin as long as we stay within HIS laws and HIS ways!
Galatians 3:10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.
Ezekiel 36:26-27 "A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to WALK IN MY STATUTES, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them."
So many of you read one or two Scriptures out of the Bible and ignore the rest without even considering what you are claiming with your mouth before studying to show thyself approved!
(Deuteronomy 28:58-61) "If thou wilt not observe to do all the words of this law that are written in this book, that thou mayest fear this glorious and fearful name, THE LORD THY GOD; Then the LORD will make thy plagues wonderful, and the plagues of thy seed, even great plagues, and of long continuance, and sore sicknesses, and of long continuance. Moreover he will bring upon thee all the diseases of Egypt, which thou wast afraid of; and they shall cleave unto thee. Also every sickness, and every plague, which is not written in the book of this law, them will the LORD bring upon thee, until thou be destroyed."
May God bless you with much needed wisdom!
