    Peter explains his vision “God has shown (Peter) me that I should not call any person common or unclean.” Acts 10 and 11 Petersova vízia Peter vysvetľuje svoju víziu „Boh mi (Petrovi) ukázal, že by som nemal nikoho nazývať obyčajným alebo nečistým. Skutky 10 a 11 Všetky potraviny sú čisté! Neexistuje nič také ako nečisté jedlo! Torah Life Ministries 51,7 000 odberateľov Odoberať 1,3 tis Peter a Kornélius 1 V Cézarei žil muž menom Cornelius, stotník z takzvanej talianskej kohorty, 2 oddaný muž, ktorý sa bál Boha s celou svojou domácnosťou, štedro rozdával ľuďom almužny a neustále sa modlil k Bohu. 3 Asi o deviatej hodine dňa vo videní jasne videl, ako k nemu prichádza Boží anjel a hovorí mu: „Cornelius.“ 4 A on naňho vydesene hľadel a povedal: "Čo je, Pane?" A povedal mu: „Tvoje modlitby a tvoje almužny vystúpili ako pamiatka pred Bohom. 5 A teraz pošli mužov do Joppy a priveď jedného Šimona, ktorý sa volá Peter. 6 Býva u jedného Šimona, garbiara, ktorého dom je pri mori.“ 7 Keď anjel, ktorý s ním hovoril, odišiel, zavolal dvoch svojich sluhov a oddaného vojaka spomedzi tých, ktorí ho sprevádzali, 8 A keď im všetko oznámil, poslal ich do Joppy. Petrova vízia 9 Na druhý deň, keď boli na ceste a blížili sa k mestu, vyšiel Peter okolo šiestej na strechu domu.b to modliť sa. 10 A dostal hlad a chcel niečo zjesť, ale kým to pripravovali, upadol do tranzu 11 a videl som, ako sa nebesia otvorili a zostupovalo niečo ako veľká plachta, ktorá bola svojimi štyrmi rohmi spustená na zem. 12 Boli v ňom všetky druhy zvierat, plazy a nebeské vtáky. 13 A zaznel k nemu hlas: „Vstaň, Peter; zabíjaj a jedz.“ 14 Ale Peter povedal: „V žiadnom prípade, Pane; lebo som nikdy nejedol nič, čo je obyčajné alebo nečisté.“ 15 A hlas k nemu opäť zaznel druhýkrát: „Čo Boh očistil, nenazývaj obyčajným.“ 16 Toto sa stalo trikrát a tá vec bola okamžite vynesená do neba. 17 Zatiaľ čo bol Peter vnútorne zmätený, čo by mohlo znamenať videnie, ktoré videl, hľa, muži, ktorých poslal Kornélius, ktorí sa pýtali na Šimonov dom, stáli pri bráne 18 a zavolal, aby sa spýtal, či tam býva Simon, ktorý sa volá Peter. 19 A kým Peter uvažoval o videní, Duch mu povedal: „Hľa, traja muži ťa hľadajú. 20 Vstaň a zostúp a bez váhania ich sprevádzaj,c lebo som ich poslal.“ 21 A Peter zišiel k mužom a povedal: Ja som ten, ktorého hľadáte. Aký je dôvod vášho príchodu?“ 22 A oni povedali: „Cornélius, stotník, čestný a bohabojný muž, o ktorom dobre hovorí celý židovský národ, dostal od svätého anjela pokyn, aby ťa poslal, aby si prišiel do jeho domu a vypočul si, čo máš. povedať.“ 23 Pozval ich teda dnu, aby boli jeho hosťami. Na druhý deň vstal a odišiel s nimi a niektorí bratia z Joppy ho sprevádzali. 24 A na druhý deň vošli do Cézarey. Cornelius ich očakával a zvolal svojich príbuzných a blízkych priateľov. 25 Keď Peter vošiel, Kornélius sa s ním stretol, padol mu k nohám a klaňal sa mu. 26 Ale Peter ho zodvihol a povedal: Vstaň! Aj ja som muž.“ 27 A keď sa s ním rozprával, vošiel dnu a našiel zhromaždených veľa ľudí. 28 A on im povedal:“ Sami viete, aké nezákonné je pre Žida stýkať sa alebo navštevovať niekoho iného národa, bBoh mi ukázal, že nemám nikoho nazývať obyčajným ani nečistým. 29 Keď ma teda poslali, prišiel som bez námietok. Potom sa pýtam, prečo si po mňa poslal." 30 A Kornélius povedal: Pred štyrmi dňami, o tejto hodine, som sa modlil vo svojom dome o deviatej,d a hľa, predo mnou stál muž v jasnom oblečení 31 a povedal: ‚Kornélius, tvoja modlitba bola vypočutá a tvoje almužny boli pred Bohom spomenuté. 32 Pošlite teda do Joppy a žiadajte Šimona, ktorý sa volá Peter. Je ubytovaný v dome garbiara Šimona pri mori.' 33 Okamžite som teda po teba poslal a ty si bol taký láskavý, že si prišiel. Teraz sme tu teda všetci pred Božou tvárou, aby sme počuli všetko, čo vám prikázal Pán." Pohania počujú dobrú správu 34 Peter teda otvoril ústa a povedal: „Naozaj chápem, že Boh neprejavuje žiadnu predpojatosť, 35 ale v každom národe je mu prijateľný každý, kto sa ho bojí a robí to, čo je správne. 36 Čo sa týka slova, ktoré poslal Izraelu a ktoré kázal dobré posolstvo o pokoji skrze Ježiša Krista (on je Pánom všetkého), 37 sami viete, čo sa stalo v celej Judei, počnúc Galileou po krste, ktorý Ján vyhlásil: 38 ako Boh pomazal Ježiša Nazaretského Duchom Svätým a mocou. Chodil, robil dobro a uzdravoval všetkých, ktorí boli utláčaní diablom, lebo Boh bol s ním. 39 A my sme svedkami všetkého, čo robil v krajine Židov aj v Jeruzaleme. Usmrtili ho obesením na strome, 40 ale Boh ho na tretí deň vzkriesil a zjavil sa, 41 nie všetkým ľuďom, ale nám, ktorých Boh vyvolil za svedkov, ktorí sme s ním jedli a pili, keď vstal z mŕtvych. 42 A prikázal nám, aby sme kázali ľudu a svedčili, že on je ten, ktorého Boh ustanovil za sudcu živých a mŕtvych. 43 Všetci proroci mu vydávajú svedectvo, že každý, kto v neho verí, dostane odpustenie hriechov v jeho mene." Duch Svätý padá na pohanov 44 Kým Peter ešte hovoril tieto veci, zostúpil Duch Svätý na všetkých, ktorí počuli slovo. 45 A veriaci spomedzi obrezaných, ktorí prišli s Petrom, boli ohromení, pretože dar Ducha Svätého bol vyliaty aj na pohanov. 46 Lebo ich počuli hovoriť v jazykoch a vychvaľovať Boha. Potom Peter vyhlásil: 47 "Môže niekto zadržať vodu na krst týchto ľudí, ktorí prijali Ducha Svätého rovnako ako my?" 48 A prikázal im, aby boli pokrstení v mene Ježiša Krista. Potom ho požiadali, aby zostal niekoľko dní. Skutky 10: Petrova vízia – 119 ministerstiev Peter vysvetľuje svoje činy 11 Apoštoli a veriaci v celej Judei počuli, že aj pohania prijali slovo Božie. 2 Keď Peter vystúpil do Jeruzalema, obrezaní ho kritizovali 3 a povedali: Vošiel si do domu neobrezancov a jedol si s nimi. 4 Peter im od začiatku vyrozprával celý príbeh: 5 Bol som v meste Joppa a modlil som sa a vo vytržení som videl videnie. Videl som niečo ako veľkú plachtu, ktorú spustili z neba svojimi štyrmi rohmi, a zišla tam, kde som bol ja. 6 Pozrel som sa do nej a videl som štvornohé zvieratá, divú zver, plazy a vtáky. 7 Potom som počul hlas, ktorý mi hovoril: ‚Vstaň, Peter! Zabite a zjedzte.“ 8 Odpovedal som: Určite nie, Pane! Do mojich úst nikdy nevstúpilo nič nečisté alebo nečisté. 9 Hlas sa ozval z neba po druhý raz: Nenazývaj nič nečisté, čo Boh očistil. 10 Stalo sa to trikrát a potom to všetko opäť vytiahli do neba. 11 Hneď sa v dome, kde som býval, zastavili traja muži, ktorých ku mne poslali z Cézarey. 12 Duch mi povedal, aby som neváhal ísť s nimi. Títo šiesti bratia išli so mnou a vošli sme do mužovho domu. 13 Rozprával nám, ako videl, ako sa v jeho dome zjavil anjel a povedal: Pošli do Joppe po Šimona, ktorý sa volá Peter. 14 Prinesie ti posolstvo, vďaka ktorému budeš spasený ty i celý tvoj dom. 15 Keď som začal hovoriť, zostúpil na nich Duch Svätý, ako na začiatku zostúpil na nás. 16 Potom som si spomenul, čo povedal Pán: ‚Ján krstil s[a ] vodou, ale budeš pokrstený[b ] Duch Svätý.' 17 Ak im teda Boh dal ten istý dar, aký dal nám, ktorí sme uverili v Pána Ježiša Krista, kto som to bol, aby som si myslel, že môžem stáť v ceste Bohu?“ 18 Keď to počuli, už nič nenamietali a chválili Boha a hovorili: Tak teda aj pohanom dal Boh pokánie, ktoré vedie k životu. Cirkev v Antiochii 19 Tí, ktorí boli rozptýlení prenasledovaním, ktoré vypuklo, keď bol Štefan zabitý, putovali až do Fenície, na Cyprus a do Antiochie a šírili to len medzi Židmi. 20 Niektorí z nich, muži z Cypru a Cyrény, odišli do Antiochie a začali hovoriť aj Grékom a zvestovali im dobrú správu o Pánovi Ježišovi. 21 Pánova ruka bola s nimi a veľké množstvo ľudí uverilo a obrátilo sa k Pánovi. 22 Správa o tom sa dostala do cirkvi v Jeruzaleme a poslali Barnabáša do Antiochie. 23 Keď prišiel a videl, čo urobila milosť Božia, zaradoval sa a všetkých povzbudil, aby zostali verní Pánovi celým srdcom. 24 Bol to dobrý muž, plný Ducha Svätého a viery, a k Pánovi bolo privedené veľké množstvo ľudí. 25 Potom Barnabáš odišiel do Tarzu hľadať Saula, 26 a keď ho našiel, priviedol ho do Antiochie. A tak sa Barnabáš a Saul celý rok stretávali s cirkvou a učili veľké množstvo ľudí. Učeníci boli nazvaní kresťanmi najskôr v Antiochii. 27 V tom čase zostúpili niektorí proroci z Jeruzalema do Antiochie. 28 Jeden z nich, menom Agabus, vstal a skrze Ducha predpovedal, že na celý rímsky svet sa rozšíri veľký hlad. (Stalo sa to za vlády Claudia.) 29 Učeníci sa podľa možností rozhodli poskytnúť pomoc bratom a sestrám žijúcim v Judei. 30 Urobili to a poslali svoj dar starším po Barnabášovi a Saulovi.

The real Jesus Watchman Message In the message in Hosea, Yehovah is saying my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. He is warning us that it is our responsibility to give them warning from Him, about the coming wrath that is coming on this earth. Our Father repeated these few verses, He wants us to understand that He is serious, and will hold us accountable if we don't warn them (“son of man" denotes mankind generally) Hebrew people, Ješua nikto nechce vedieť Matúš 10:34-39 Reverend Bryn MacPhail Ak by som vás dnes požiadal, aby ste vymenovali niektoré charakteristiky Ješuu, čo by ste pomenovali? Ak by ste niekomu opísali osobnosť Ješuu, aké prídavné mená by ste použili? Vymyslite si nejaké v hlave a ja sa s vami podelím o prvé, ktoré mi napadli. Tri vlastnosti, ktoré mi hneď prišli na um, boli: JEMNÝ, ODPÚŠŤAJÚCI a MILUJÚCI. Myslím si, že väčšina z vás si myslí, že Yeshua je tiež podobný. Keď som sa dostal na koniec 10. kapitoly v Matúšovi, dostal som úplne iný portrét Ješuu. Po prečítaní tejto časti málokto, kým si neprečíta túto konkrétnu časť v Matúšovi, nepozná túto stránku Ješuu. A ak sme si vedomí tejto stránky Ješuu, často sa rozhodneme na to zabudnúť. Túžime počuť, ako Ješua miluje svojich nepriateľov, odpúšťa prostitútkam, dotýka sa malomocných a nasýti hladných, ale to je všetko. Ješua, ktorého vidíme v 10. kapitole, verše 34-39 – tento Ješua, celkom úprimne, je ten, ktorého nikto nechce vedieť. Ale ak by som túto časť preskočil, ušla by vám podstatná stránka Ješuu.Strana Ješuu, ktorá je NÁROČNÁ. Toto je miesto, kde je Yeshua, čo by ste mohli nazvať „brutálne priamočiaro“. Nič tu nezadržiava. „Nemyslite si, že som prišiel priniesť pokoj na zem, neprišiel som priniesť pokoj, ale meč“ (v.34). Aké šokujúce vyhlásenie! Ješua „neprišiel priniesť mier, ale meč“? Prečo by povedal niečo také? Ješua tu robí, že opravuje falošné predpoklady o tom, čo bolo poslaním židovského Mesiáša. Podľa Izaiáša 9:5-7 je Mesiáš opísaný ako „Knieža pokoja“. Vykladači Hebrejských Písiem to chápali tak, že Mesiáš bude „Kniežaťom pokoja“ NA ZEMI.To však nebola Ješuova misia. Konečným cieľom evanjelia nebola a je nie harmónia na zemi, ale POKOJ S BOHOM (Rim 5:1). _cc781905-5cde-3194-prišiel mier do, ale neprišiel ON, MYSLEJTE, neprišiel ON, THEEAR, prišiel ON uzavrieť mier medzi Bohom a ľudstvom (Rim 5:1). Pošlem im veľké problémy – ČIŇTE POKÁNIE a žite všetko, čoho sa báli. Keď som zavolal, neodpovedali. Keď som hovoril, nepočúvali. Úmyselne zhrešili pred mojimi očami a rozhodli sa urobiť to, o čom vedia, že pohŕdam.“ Izaiáš 66:4 Hľa, Pán prichádza s ohňom, a jeho rýchle víchrice ako víchrice. Prinesie trest zúrivosťou svojho hnevu a planúcim ohňom svojho horúceho pokarhania.16 Pán potrestá svet ohňom a svojím mečom. On bude súdiť zem a mnohí budú ním zabití.17 „Tí, ktorí sa ‚zasväcujú‘ a ‚očisťujú‘ v posvätnej záhrade s jej modlou v strede— hodovanie na bravčovom mäse, potkanoch a inom odpornom mäse — príde k hroznému koncu,“ hovorí Pán. Izaiáš 66:4 32 „Každého, kto ma verejne vyzná tu na zemi, vyznám aj ja pred svojím Otcom, ktorý je na nebesiach. 33 Ale každého, kto ma zaprie tu na zemi, aj ja zapriem pred svojím Otcom, ktorý je na nebesiach.34 „Nemyslite si, že som prišiel priniesť pokoj na zem!Neprišiel som priniesť pokoj, ale meč. 35'Prišiel som postaviť muža proti jeho otcovi, dcéru proti matke a nevestu proti svokre. Vaši nepriatelia budú priamo vo vašej domácnosti! 'l 37„Ak miluješ svojho otca alebo matku viac ako mňa, nie si hoden byť mojou; alebo ak miluješ svojho syna alebo dcéru viac ako mňa, nie si hoden byť mojím. 38 Ak odmietneš vziať svoj kríž a nasledovať ma, nie si hoden byť mojím. 39Ak sa budeš držať svojho života, stratíš ho; ale ak sa pre mňa vzdáš svojho života, nájdeš ho. Matúš 10:34-39 Vezmi svoj kríž a nasleduj Ješuu Ak chce niekto ísť za mnou, nech zaprie sám seba, vezme svoj kríž a nasleduje ma 24 Vtedy Ješua povedal svojim učeníkom: „. 25 Lebo kto by si chcel zachrániť život, stratí ho, ale kto stratí svoj život pre mňa, nájde ho. 26 Veď čo osoží človeku, keď získa celý svet a utratí svoju dušu? Alebo čo dá človek za svoju dušu? Matúš 16:24 A každý, kto verí v Božieho Syna, má večný život.Kto neposlúcha Syna, nikdy nezažije večný život, ale zostane pod Božím hnevom.“ Ján 3: 3 A môžeme si byť istí, že ho poznáme, ak poslúchame jeho prikázania. 4 Ak niekto tvrdí: Poznám Boha, ale neposlúcha Božie prikázania, je klamár a nežije v pravde. 5 Ale tí, ktorí poslúchajú Božie slová, skutočne ukazujú, ako ho úplne milujú. Tak vieme, že žijeme v ňom. 6 Tí, ktorí hovoria, že žijú v Bohu, by mali žiť svoj život ako Ješua. 1 Ján 2:3 Dodržiaval zákony Leviticus o jedle, zachovával sobotu, zachovával sviatky Jehovu a zachovával prikázania. Prečo nenasledujeme jediný dokonalý príklad, aký existuje? „Nechápte zle, prečo som prišiel. Neprišiel som zrušiť Mojžišov zákon ani spisy prorokov. Nie, prišiel som naplniť ich zámer. 8Veru, hovorím vám, kým sa nebo a zem nepominú, zo Zákona nezmizne ani jediná čiarka, ani štipka pera, kým sa všetko nesplní._cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b -136bad5cf58d_ „

  • Worship God in Spirit n Truth | Answers 4 Saints

    Worship God in Spirit and Truth You can not come before God with anything you are nothing Spirit You can not come before God with anything you are nothing Spirit Body and Soul Narrow Gate & Path Key points about these verses: Nature of God: John 4:24 establishes that God is a Spirit, requiring spiritual worship. Guidance and Strength: Romans 8:26 highlights the Holy Spirit's role in assisting believers in prayer, even when they don't know what to ask for. Living a Christian Life: Galatians 5:16 encourages walking in the Spirit to resist fleshly desires. Respecting the Holy Spirit: Ephesians 4:30 warns against grieving the Holy Spirit, implying His personhood. Teaching and Remembrance: John 14:26 describes the Holy Spirit as the "Helper" who will teach and remind believers of Jesus' words. Spiritual sacrifices Do justice Do kindness and walk humbly with your God A broken spirit A broken and contrite heart Lear to do good Seek justice Defend the orphan Plead for the widow Love your neighbor as yourself The verse "Draw near to God and he will draw to you" is found in James 4:8 It is a promise highlighting that when individuals take steps to pursue a relationship with God—through prayer, repentance, and repentance—He responds by drawing near to them, offering intimacy, grace, and presence. Romans 10:10 states: "For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved." This verse highlights that salvation involves internal faith in Yeshua resurrection and external confession of Him as Lord, marking a move from legalism to grace. . Key Interpretations of Romans 10:10: Internal and External: It unites internal transformation with external testimony. Heart Belief (Justification): Faith in the heart refers to true, internal trust in God, which makes a person righteous (justified) in God’s sight. Mouth Confession (Salvation): Openly declaring that Jesus is Lord is the outward expression of that internal faith, leading to the assurance of salvation. Role of Grace: This verse underscores that salvation is a gift from God based on faith, not by works or personal performance The Absolute Requirement Romans 8:9 “If anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him ” This is not a suggestion. It is a clear dividing line. E zekiel 36:27“I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them. ” The Holy Spirit was never given so we could continue living however we want. His primary work is to empower and cause us to obey the Father’s Torah.1 John 3:24“Now he who keeps His commandments abides in Him, and He in him. And by this we know that He abides in us, by the Spirit whom He has given us.”You can only have confidence that the Spirit of God truly lives in you if you are actively keeping His commandments. Acts 5:32“And we are His witnesses to these things, and so also is the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey Him.”God does not give His Holy Spirit to the rebellious or the lawless. He gives the Spirit to those who obey Him The Primary Test from Scripture 1. Do you belong to Yeshua? (The foundational test) Romans 8:9 “But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His.” If you truly belong to Yeshua (you have repented and trusted in Him), then you have the Spirit. But the next verses show how we can know it is real. 2. Is the Spirit causing you to obey God’s commandments? Ezekiel 36:27 “I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them.” This is one of the clearest promises in the New Covenant. The Holy Spirit’s job is not just to make us feel saved — He causes obedience to the Father’s Torah (statutes and judgments). 3. Do you keep His commandments? 1 John 3:24 “Now he who keeps His commandments abides in Him, and He in him. And by this we know that He abides in us, by the Spirit whom He has given us.” John says this is how we know the Spirit is in us — by a lifestyle of keeping God’s commandments. 4. Has God given you the Spirit because you obey Him? Acts 5:32 “And we are His witnesses to these things, and so also is the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey Him.” Obedience and the presence of the Spirit go together. God does not give His Spirit to those who persist in rebellion and lawlessness. Additional Evidences (Supporting Signs) While obedience is the clearest biblical test, other signs often appear when the Spirit is truly at work: The fruit of the Spirit growing in your life: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23). A deepening love for God, His Word, and His ways. Conviction of sin when you disobey (the Spirit will not let you stay comfortable in sin). A desire and growing ability to walk in holiness rather than the desires of the flesh. A Straightforward Answer You can know you have the Spirit of Christ if: You truly belong to Yeshua, and Your life is marked by a real, growing obedience to the Father’s commandments (not perfect sinlessness, but a clear direction away from lawlessness and toward holiness). If someone claims to have the Spirit but continues living in open rebellion against God’s Torah with no conviction or desire to change, the Bible says that is a serious warning sign (see also 1 John 2:3-6 and Matthew 7:21-23). The Final Verdict To truly “belong to Him” is to be born again — not just in words, but with a total change of identity. You are transferred from the family of rebels on the Broad Way into the family of obedient sons and daughters on the Narrow Path. Here is the sobering test: If the Holy Spirit is not causing you to walk in the Father’s Torah — His statutes and judgments — then you are still ruling your own life. You may boast that you are “free” from the Law, but in reality you are “free” from the King’s authority, “free” from His protection, and outside the gates of the New Jerusalem. Yeshua warned: “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the Kingdom… but only he who does the will of My Father” (Matthew 7:21). The Process of Being Born Again (Including Baptism) Being born again is a supernatural work of God through His Holy Spirit. It is not earned by human effort, but it follows a clear biblical pattern. Here is the full process: Hearing the Word of God The process begins when a person hears the gospel — the good news that Yeshua the Messiah died for our sins, was buried, and rose again on the third day (1 Corinthians 15:3-4; Romans 10:17). Conviction by the Holy Spirit The Holy Spirit convicts the heart of sin, righteousness, and judgment (John 16:8). The person recognizes their rebellion against God’s Torah and their desperate need for forgiveness and a new heart. Repentance True repentance is a change of mind and direction. You turn away from sin and self-rule (the Broad Way of lawlessness) and turn toward God with a willingness to obey Him (Acts 3:19; Luke 13:3). Faith / Belief in Yeshua You place your full trust in Yeshua as Lord and Savior, believing that His blood cleanses you from all sin and His resurrection gives you new life (Ephesians 2:8-9; John 3:16). The Miracle of New Birth (Regeneration) God sovereignly causes you to be born again by His Spirit. You receive a new heart and a new spirit (Ezekiel 36:26). The Holy Spirit comes to live inside you and begins to cause you to walk in the Father’s statutes and judgments (Ezekiel 36:27; Romans 8:9). Water Baptism – The Outward Act of Obedience After being born again, the next step of obedience is water baptism. Baptism is not what saves you or causes the new birth, but it is the biblical way to publicly identify with Yeshua’s death, burial, and resurrection. “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Yeshua the Messiah for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.” (Acts 2:38) Baptism is an act of burial (the old rebel life is buried) and resurrection (you rise to walk in newness of life). It is a public declaration: “I no longer belong to myself — I belong to Yeshua and His Kingdom.” Obedience as Ongoing Evidence The Holy Spirit now lives in you and produces fruit. You know the Spirit is truly in you because you keep God’s commandments and walk in His ways (1 John 3:24; Acts 5:32). A. The "Death" of the Old Man Born Again You cannot be "Born Again" until the "Old Man" (the rebel who hates the Sabbath and the Dietary Laws) dies. You must surrender your "opinion" to the King's Truth. The Broad Way: Tries to "add" Jesus to their old, lawless life. The Narrow Path: Buries the old life and rises as a New Creation. B. The "Implantation" of the Seed Peter says we are born again by the Incorruptible Seed of the Word (1 Peter 1:23). The Seed: The Torah (The Father's Instructions). The Growth: When the Spirit plants this seed in your heart, it must produce the Father's fruit. If you are born of a Holy Father, you will produce Holiness (Obedience). C. The "Sealing" (The Passport) The moment the Spirit enters, you are Sealed (Eph 1:13). This is your "Identification" for the New Jerusalem. The Proof: How do you know the "Transaction" happened? Ezekiel 36:27 says the Spirit will cause you to walk in His statutes. If you aren't walking in them, the transaction didn't take place. The Condensed "Born Again" Summary "Being Born Again is the moment you trade your 'Lawless Autonomy' for the King’s 'Spirit-Led Obedience.' It’s when the Holy Spirit moves in, kills the rebel in you, and starts rewriting the Father’s Torah on your heart so you can finally 'Hit the Mark' (Righteousness)." The "Attention-Grabbing" Question "If being Born Again means receiving a New Nature that loves the King’s Ways, then why are you still using your 'Grace' as a reason to keep the same 'Old Nature' that ignores His Sabbath and His Laws?" . The Transformation The New Nature: "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new." — 2 Corinthians 5:17 Spirit and Water: "Unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God." — John 3:5 The Result: Obedience shifts from an external "rule" to an internal "desire," fulfilling the promise that the Law would be written on our hearts (Jeremiah 31:33). The Transformation From Law to Heart: Obedience is no longer a struggle against your nature; it becomes the desire of your new nature. The Public Seal: Baptism serves as the official "crossing over" from the world's kingdom into God's Kingdom. The Result: Your internal spirit and external actions (Truth) finally align, allowing you to worship in a way that is both sincere and grounded in reality.

    The good news is that Yehovah ordained Yeshua to announce the coming of His kingdom here on earth. Many would be shocked to find out that the Bible defines the gospel differently than what they have always been told. A thorough reading shows He brought and that the apostles continued to preach. The True Gospel e The spiritual path begins with a direct call from Yeshua: “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. ” This imperative is the doorway to salvation—a foundational, inward shift away from sin and a fallen world, and a redirection of the heart toward the sovereign authority of God. Matthew 4:17 — “From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, ‘Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.’” Mark 1:15 — “And saying, ‘The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.’” 2. The Doorway: Water Baptism and the Holy Spiri t Following the resurrection and ascension of Yeshua, Peter declared the active steps of covenant entry at Pentecost: turning in repentance, being buried with Messiah in baptism, and receiving divine empowerment through the Spirit. Acts 2:38 — “Then Peter said unto them, ‘Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.’” John 3:5 — “Jesus answered, ‘Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.’” 3. The Blood: Grafted into the Commonwealth of Israel By the blood shed on the tree, the dividing wall of hostility was torn down. Nations once alienated from the promises and covenants are brought near and grafted as wild olive branches into the root of Israel. Ephesians 2:12–13 — “That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world: But now in Yesgua messiah ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.” Romans 11:17 — “A nd if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree.” 4. The Commission: Gathering Others into the Harvest Salvation is not walked in isolation; a grafted branch bears fruit. Believers are commanded to act as fishers of men and ambassadors, working to gather the lost into the Father’s house before the end. Matthew 28:19–20 — “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you.” Matthew 9:37–38 — “Then saith he unto his disciples, ‘The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.’” Luke 14:23 — “And the lord said unto the servant, ‘Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.’” 5. The Perseverance: Holding Fast Until the End The culmination of salvation requires endurance through trials, testing, and persecution. The promise of the eternal crown belongs to those who do not turn back. Matthew 24:13 — “But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.” Hebrews 10:35–36 — “Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward. For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.” Revelation 2:25–26 — “But that which ye have already hold fast till I come. And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations.” Pravé evanjelium Nikde v písme Ješua nehovorí, že evanjelium hovorí o Ňom, aby zomrel za naše hriechy. Čo kázal Ješua? Mnohí by boli šokovaní, keby zistili, že Biblia definuje evanjelium inak, ako sa im vždy hovorilo. Dôkladné čítanie ukazuje, že prijatie Kristovej krvi na zaplatenie našich hriechov – akokoľvek je to zásadne dôležité – v skutočnosti nie je stredobodom „dobrého posolstva“, ktoré priniesol a ktoré apoštoli naďalej kázali. Okrem toho, že Ješua zomrel za naše hriechy, prišiel na zem ako posol od Jehovu Otca: Dobrou správou je, že Jehova ustanovil Ješuu, aby oznámil príchod Jeho kráľovstva tu na zemi. Ján 8:38 Ja hovorím o tom, čo som videl u svojho Otca, a vy robíte, čo ste počuli od svojho otca." Ján 12:49-50 Lebo som nehovoril sám od seba, ale Otec, ktorý ma poslal, mi dal prikázanie – čo mám hovoriť a čo hovoriť. 50 A viem, že Jeho prikázanie je večný život. Čo teda hovorím, hovorím tak, ako mi povedal Otec." Ján 14:24 Kto ma nemiluje, nezachováva moje slová. A slovo, ktoré počujete, nie je moje, ale Otcov, ktorí ma poslali. Lukáš 4:43 Ješua im povedal: Musím zvestovať kráľovstvo Hospodinovo aj iné mestá, lebo na to som poslaný." Zatiaľ čo Yeshua bol kategoricky najdôležitejším jednotlivcom, ktorý kedy chodil po tejto zemi, Biblia jasne ukazuje, že evanjelium, ktoré priniesol Yeshua, nebolo len o ňom samom. Prečítajte si jeho výroky a presvedčte sa sami: Matúš 9:35 Ješua chodil po všetkých mestách a dedinách, učil v ich synagógach, hlásal evanjelium o kráľovstve a uzdravoval každú chorobu a neduh. 36 Keď videl zástupy, zľutoval sa nad nimi, lebo boli sužovaní a bezmocní ako ovce bez pastiera.… Marek 1:14-15 Keď bol Ján uväznený, prišiel Ješua do Galiley a kázal evanjelium o Božom kráľovstve a povedal: "Naplnil sa čas a priblížilo sa kráľovstvo Božie. Čiňte pokánie a verte v evanjelium." 43 Lukáš 8:1 Potom sa stalo, že Ješua prešiel každé mesto a dedinu a kázal a hlásal radostnú zvesť o kráľovstve Božom. Lukáš 16:16 Zákon a proroci boli až po Jána. Odvtedy sa zvestuje Božie kráľovstvo a všetci sa doň tlačia. Matúš 24:14 A ľahšie je pominúť nebo a zem, ako zlyhať čo i len kúsok zákona. A toto evanjelium o kráľovstve sa bude kázať po celom svete na svedectvo všetkým národom a potom príde koniec. Oznámenie „dobrej správy“ – tá najlepšia správa, akú bolo dnes možné počuť – ktorú Otec dal prostredníctvom Ješuu, bolo o zriadení Jeho Kráľovstva na zemi. čo je to kráľovstvo? Je to v podstate národ so všetkými svojimi občanmi, pôdou a zákonmi, ktorému vládne vláda. V biblickom použití môže kráľovstvo znamenať aj rodinu z jedného rodiča, ktorá vyrástla v národ. Kráľovstvo má štyri základné prvky: kráľ, najvyšší vládca alebo vládca; územie s jeho špecifickou polohou a určitými hraničnými čiarami; subjekty alebo občania v rámci tejto územnej jurisdikcie; a zákony a forma vlády, prostredníctvom ktorej sa uplatňuje vôľa vládcu. Ak ignorujeme ktorýkoľvek z týchto základných prvkov – ak ignorujeme posolstvo, ktoré priniesol Ješua od Otca – budeme mať skreslenú vieru, ktorá neprinesie spásu. Kto bude kráľom? O tom, že Kráľom Božieho Kráľovstva bude Ješua, nemôže byť pochýb. Aj keď na zemi nevykonával žiadnu občiansku autoritu, keď sa vráti, bude „Kráľom kráľov a Pánom pánov“ 1 Timoteovi 6:15; Zjavenie 19:16; 17:14). Iní proroci tiež predpovedali príchod kráľa, nielen Izraela a Judska, ale aj celého sveta. Izaiáš nám hovorí: Lebo sa nám narodilo Dieťa, daný nám je Syn; a vláda bude na Jeho pleci. A Jeho meno sa bude volať Úžasný, Radca, Mocný Boh, Večný Otec, Knieža pokoja. Nárast Jeho vlády a pokoja nebude mať konca na Dávidovom tróne a nad Jeho kráľovstvom, aby ho usporiadali a upevnili súdom a spravodlivosťou od toho času, dokonca až naveky. Horlivosť Hospodina zástupov to vykoná. (Izaiáš 9:6-7) Kde vznikne Kráľovstvo? Dominantným klamstvom, ktoré Satan ľudstvu vnukol, je viera, že duša človeka po smrti ide do neba. Mnoho ľudí predpokladá, že fráza Kráľovstvo Božie je synonymom neba, ale Biblia učí, že keď sa Yeshua vráti, Kráľovstvo Božie bude založené na zemi! Najprv si všimnite, ako Biblia úplne vyvracia predstavu, že po smrti „ísť do neba“. Peter v deň Turíc hovorí zástupu: „Muži a bratia, dovoľte mi, aby som vám otvorene povedal o patriarchovi Dávidovi, že je mŕtvy aj pochovaný a jeho hrob je s nami dodnes. .. Lebo Dávid nevystúpil do neba" (Sk 2,29.34). Tento „človek podľa Božieho srdca" nie je v nebi, ale ešte v hrobe! Náš Spasiteľ to potvrdzuje v r. Ján 3:13: "Nik nevystúpil do neba, iba Ten, ktorý zostúpil z neba, to jest Syn človeka, ktorý je v nebi." Kazateľ 9:5,10 Mŕtvi svätí zo Starého aj Nového zákona spia vo svojich hroboch a čakajú na vzkriesenie – bez vedomia. Jób 14:14-15 Jób opisuje čakanie na vzkriesenie takto: "Ak niekto zomrie, bude žiť? Po všetky dni svojej tvrdej služby budem čakať, kým nepríde moja zmena. Ty budeš volať a ja budem odpovedať Ti. Zjavenie 5:10: "A urobil si ich kráľovstvom (kráľovský rod) a kňazmi nášmu Bohu a budú kraľovať na zemi!" Zjavenie 11:15 Siedmy anjel zatrúbil: A v nebi zazneli veľké hlasy, ktoré hovorili: "Kráľovstvá tohto sveta sa stali kráľovstvami nášho Hospodina a Jeho Syna a On bude kraľovať na veky vekov!" Zjavenie 21:21. A videl som nové nebo a novú zem, lebo prvé nebo a prvá zem sa pominuli. Tiež tam už nebolo more. Potom som ja, Ján, videl sväté mesto, Nový Jeruzalem, zostupovať z neba od Boha, pripravené ako nevesta ozdobená pre svojho manžela. A počul som mocný hlas z neba, ktorý hovoril: "Hľa, Boží stánok je s ľuďmi a On bude bývať s nimi a oni budú jeho ľudom. Sám Boh bude s nimi a bude ich Bohom. A Boh zmaže odtrhnite im každú slzu z očí, už nebude smrti ani smútku ani kriku, už nebude viac bolesti, lebo prvé sa pominulo. … Zjavenie 21:1 Kto zvíťazí, zdedí všetko a ja mu budem Bohom a on mi bude synom." Kto sú poddaní a občania Kráľovstva? Aj keď celému svetu bude vládnuť Ješua, keď založí Kráľovstvo na na zemi, nie každý na zemi bude občanom toho Kráľovstva. Každý bude podriadený Kráľovi kráľov, ale nie každý vstúpi do toho duchovného Kráľovstva. Ján 3:3 Ješua zjavil túto pravdu Nikodémovi. Keď k Nemu Nikodém v noci prišiel, Ješua mu povedal: "Veru, veru, hovorím ti: Ak sa niekto nenarodí znovu, nemôže uzrieť kráľovstvo Božie." 1. Korinťanom 15:50. Pavol povedal Korinťanom „telo a krv [smrteľní ľudia] nemôžu zdediť kráľovstvo Božie, ani skazenosť nezdedí neporušiteľnosť“ Aj keď máme fyzické telo z mäsa a kostí, môžeme byť dedičmi Kráľovstva, ale nemôžeme vojsť úplne do Kráľovstva, ani ho nemôžeme vidieť, kým sa nestaneme duchom – dostaneme slávne telo zložené z ducha pri vzkriesení. To znamená, že aj keď celé ľudstvo bude podriadené Kráľovstvu, ktorému bude na zemi vládnuť Ješua, nebude nevyhnutne jeho súčasťou. Matúš 25:31-34 Keď príde Syn človeka vo svojej sláve a všetci svätí anjeli s ním, potom zasadne na trón svojej slávy. Všetky národy budú pred Ním zhromaždené a On ich oddelí jeden od druhého, ako pastier oddeľuje svoje ovce od kôz. A postaví ovce po svojej pravici, ale kozly po ľavej. Potom Kráľ povie tým po svojej pravici: "Poďte, požehnaní môjho Otca, zaujmite kráľovstvo, ktoré je pre vás pripravené od založenia sveta." Kráľovstvu Božiemu teda bude vládnuť Ješua a zdedia ho tí, ktorí boli oslávení po vzkriesení z mŕtvych. Vzkriesení svätí – občania Božieho Kráľovstva – budú vládnuť spolu s Ješua nad ostatnými národmi zeme (Daniel 7:27; 2. Timoteovi 2:12; Zjavenie 2:26-28; 5:9-10; 20:4-6; 22:5). Aké sú zákony Kráľovstva? Sudcovia 21:25. Právo je jednoducho návod, ktorý majú ľudia dodržiavať, aby zabezpečili súdržnosť, dohodu a mier v občianskych a medziľudských vzťahoch. Bez pochopeného štandardu, presadzovaného suverénnym vládcom, by každý konal podľa vlastného rozmaru alebo túžby a nevzniklo by nič dobré alebo hodnotné. Kráľovstvo Božie nie je iné. 1. Korinťanom 14:33 Boh nie je pôvodcom zmätku. Jeho Kráľovstvo bude pokojné a usporiadané, pretože každý, kto doň vstúpi, sa dobrovoľne podriadi zákonu – Božím prikázaniam. Boh nebude mať vo svojom Kráľovstve nikoho, kto by podľa vzoru svojho života dokázal, že Ho nebude poslúchať. (Matúš 7:21-23; Hebrejom 10:26-31). Zjavenie 12:17 opisuje svätých ako tých, „ktorí zachovávajú Božie prikázania a majú svedectvo Ješuu. Tieto dva výroky – milovať Boha a milovať svojho blížneho ako seba samého – zhŕňajú prvé štyri a posledných šesť prikázaní. Prikázania len ďalej definujú, ako milovať Boha a milovať človeka. Boha vo všeobecnosti milujeme tak, že Ho kladieme na prvé miesto, neprijímame fyzické pomôcky na Jeho uctievanie, nenosíme Jeho meno nadarmo a svätíme siedmy deň sabatu. Vo všeobecnosti milujeme človeka tak, že si ctíme svojich rodičov, nezabíjame, necudzoložíme, nekradneme, neklameme a neprajeme. Ján 14:15 "Ak ma milujete, zachovávajte moje prikázania." Kto má moje prikázania a zachováva ich, ten ma miluje. A kto ma miluje, toho bude milovať môj Otec a ja ho budem milovať a zjavím Ja k nemu." "Ak ma niekto miluje, bude zachovávať moje slovo; a môj Otec ho bude milovať a prídeme k nemu a urobíme si u neho príbytok. Kto ma nemiluje, nezachováva moje slová a slovo, ktoré počujete." nie je môj, ale otcov, ktorí ma poslali." The Gospel (in Hebrew, the Besorah—"good news") that Yeshua (Jesus) personally preached is summarized in Mark 1:14–15: "Now after John was put in prison, Yeshua came to Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, and saying, 'The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel.'" While modern ears often hear "the gospel" defined exclusively as the mechanics of individual salvation (how to go to heaven when you die), Yeshua’s proclamation was broader, deeper, and grounded in the Hebrew Scriptures: the Gospel of the Kingdom of God (Besorat HaMalkhut). He announced that the sovereign rule, authority, and covenant reign of the Creator had broken directly into this fallen world through the King Himself. 1. "The Time is Fulfilled" (Prophetic Arrival) When Yeshua said the time was fulfilled, He was speaking to a nation longing for deliverance. The prophecies of Daniel (the timeline of Daniel 9 and the stone that crushes the kingdoms of the world in Daniel 2) and Isaiah were reaching their climax. In Luke 4:18–19, He opened the scroll of Isaiah 61 in the Nazareth synagogue to define His mandate: Preaching good tidings to the poor and humble. Healing the brokenhearted. Proclaiming liberty to the captives and the opening of prison to those who are bound. Proclaiming the acceptable year of the Lord (the ultimate Jubilee release from sin and debt). 2. "The Kingdom of God is at Hand" (The Core Proclamation) Yeshua did not preach an abstract philosophy; He preached an active government and reign: Sovereignty over the Kingdom of Darkness: Every time Yeshua cast out a demon, healed incurable diseases, or raised the dead, He was demonstrating that Satan’s usurpation of the earth was being overthrown. "If I cast out demons by the finger of God, surely the kingdom of God has come upon you" (Luke 11:20). The Nature of the King’s Reign: His kingdom was not of this worldly system—it did not advance through political intrigue, violence, or human armies (John 18:36). Instead, it advanced through truth, sacrificial love, humility, and righteousness. Present and Future: The Kingdom is already here in the hearts and walk of those who submit to the King, and it is yet to come in its physical, global fullness when the King returns to establish His reign in Jerusalem (Zechariah 14; Revelation 11:15). 3. "Repent" (Teshuvah — A Complete Return) To enter this Kingdom, the requirement was not a passive intellectual nod, but Teshuvah—a radical turning around: Turning from Self-Rule to God's Rule: Repentance means laying down rebellion, secular autonomy, and false religious pretenses. Internalizing the Commandments: In the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5–7), Yeshua explained the constitution of the Kingdom. He made it clear that He did not come to abolish the Law or the Prophets, but to fill them to the full (Matthew 5:17). Kingdom repentance goes beyond external legalism to the motives of the heart—eradicating lust, hatred, pride, and greed. Fruit of Repentance: Just as John the Baptist warned, Yeshua taught that true repentance always bears observable, righteous fruit (Matthew 7:16–21). 4. "Believe in the Good News" (Covenant Faith & Allegiance) In the biblical mindset, "belief" (emunah) is not merely agreeing that God exists; it is active loyalty, trust, and obedience to the King: Trusting the Father’s Provision: Ceasing to worry about food, drink, and clothing like the nations do, but rather "seeking first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you" (Matthew 6:33). Trusting the Sacrifice of the Son: Yeshua taught that He came "not to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many" (Mark 10:45). The Good News is that the King took the curse of our disobedience upon Himself at Passover, shedding His blood to ratify the New Covenant (Matthew 26:28). Victory Over the Grave: Yeshua promised that whoever hears His word and believes Him who sent Him has passed from death into life (John 5:24), anchored by His own resurrection as the firstfruits from the dead. 5. Summary: What Entering the Gospel Requires In Yeshua's own words, walking in the Gospel means: Denying Self: "If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me" (Luke 9:23). Obeying the Father's Will: "Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven" (Matthew 7:21). Loving God and Neighbor: Loving the Lord with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength, and loving your neighbor as yourself (Mark 12:29–31). Proclaiming the Kingdom to All Nations: "And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come" (Matthew 24:14). In short, the Gospel Yeshua taught is the royal proclamation that God’s reign has arrived in His Messiah, calling every human heart to turn away from sin, enter covenant peace with the Father through the Son, and live as an obedient citizen of His eternal Kingdom. In ancient kingdoms, when a king ascended his throne, he issued a royal charter or legal code declaring how his realm would be governed and what was expected of his subjects. In Matthew 5–7, Yeshua goes up on a mountain—echoing Moses ascending Mount Sinai—sits down in the posture of a reigning king and teacher, and delivers the manifesto of His newly inaugurated reign. The Sermon on the Mount is not an impractical, idealistic philosophy, nor is it a checklist to earn salvation. It is the living, practical constitution of the Kingdom of God, dictating the character, inner motives, ethics, and daily allegiance required of every citizen walking under Messiah's rule. 1. The Preamble: The Citizen’s Internal Disposition (The Beatitudes) Any national constitution opens with foundational values. Earthly empires prize military conquest, political clout, wealth, and self-assertion. Yeshua begins His charter (Matthew 5:3–12) by turning the world's value system completely upside down: Poor in Spirit: Recognizing total spiritual bankruptcy and utter dependence on the King. Mourning: Grieving over personal sin and the brokenness of a fallen world. Meekness: Possessing harnessed strength, patience, and humility rather than violent ambition. Hunger for Righteousness: Longing for God’s righteous order to prevail more than craving food or physical comfort. Mercy and Purity of Heart: Extending forgiveness and maintaining undivided, uncorrupted loyalty to God. Peacemaking: Actively reconciling estranged parties, reflecting the character of the Father. These are not separate groups of people receiving different rewards; together, they describe the temperament of the citizen who has laid down self-rule. 2. The Citizen’s Public Office: Salt and Light Citizens of the Kingdom do not live in isolationist enclaves; they are embedded directly into a decaying and dark culture (Matthew 5:13–16): Salt of the Earth: In antiquity, salt was a preservative that arrested rot and decay. Kingdom citizens preserve truth, hold back moral corruption, and bring spiritual flavor to the societies they inhabit. Light of the World: Light exposes danger and guides the traveler. Believers do not hide their allegiance to the King; their visible, tangible good works shine so that observers give glory directly to the Father. 3. The Legal Standard: Fulfilling and Internalizing the Law In Matthew 5:17–20, Yeshua establishes the legal framework of His government, dispelling any thought of lawlessness or anarchy: "Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled." To "fulfill" (pleroo) in Hebrew thought means to bring the law to its fullest intended meaning and expression, not to abolish it. Yeshua contrasts the superficial, external legalism of the religious establishment with the King’s internal standard. Through a series of six antitheses ("You have heard that it was said... but I say to you"), He shows that the King's law governs the thoughts and desires before an act is ever committed: Murder vs. Contempt: It is not enough to refrain from physical murder; harboring bitter anger, resentment, or hurling venomous insults (Raca) makes one liable to judgment (5:21–26). Adultery vs. Lust: Purity is not just refraining from physical unfaithfulness; looking with covetous intent is adultery in the heart (5:27–30). Oaths vs. Total Integrity: Citizens do not need elaborate religious oaths or legal loopholes to verify their truthfulness; their word is their bond—their "Yes" means yes, and their "No" means no (5:33–37). Retaliation vs. Sacrificial Generosity: Rather than demanding immediate vengeance ("an eye for an eye"), citizens yield personal rights, go the extra mile, and overcome evil with good (5:38–42). Love for Enemies: The ultimate test of Kingdom citizenship is reflecting the Father’s indiscriminate benevolence—praying for persecutors and blessing those who curse you (5:43–48). 4. Public Duty & Worship: Sincerity Over Religious Theater In Matthew 6, Yeshua regulates the three primary pillars of personal religious duty: giving, prayer, and fasting. In earthly systems, piety is often weaponized for social prestige. In the Kingdom, performance art is condemned: Secret Giving (Alms): Giving to the needy without sounding a trumpet or announcing tax write-offs; the left hand does not know what the right is doing. Secret Prayer: Communing behind closed doors with the Father, rather than reciting vain, repetitive words to impress bystanders. He provides the Model Prayer (the Lord's Prayer), teaching citizens to align their desires with the Father’s name, His kingdom coming, and His will being done on earth. Secret Fasting: Anointing the head and washing the face so that the physical affliction of fasting is unseen by men, directed only to the Father who sees in secret. 5. The Economic System: Trust, Not Striving Every kingdom has an economy. The economy of the world is driven by fear, scarcity, hoarding, and status anxiety. The Kingdom of God operates on radical faith in divine provision (Matthew 6:19–34): Currency: True wealth is not stored in physical barns, bank vaults, or commodities where moth and rust destroy; it is stored in heaven through generous, righteous living. Singular Focus: A servant cannot serve two masters. You cannot pledge allegiance to the Creator while serving Mammon (wealth/money). Freedom from Worry: Citizens do not sweat and panic over daily bread or clothing like the pagans do. The King feeds the birds of the air and clothes the lilies of the field. The citizen's sole operational directive is: "Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you." (Matthew 6:33) 6. Relational Protocol: Righteous Discernment Without Self-Righteous Condemnation In Matthew 7:1–12, Yeshua sets the rules for how citizens treat one another: The Spec and the Log: Before attempting to perform delicate eye surgery on a brother’s fault, remove the massive log of blind self-righteousness from your own eye. Holy Discernment: While judgment is warned against, discernment is commanded—do not cast pearls before swine or give what is sacred to dogs. Persistent Petitions: Keep asking, seeking, and knocking, trusting that the Father gives good gifts to His children. The Royal Rule (The Golden Rule): "Whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets." (Matthew 7:12) 7. The Ratification: Hearing vs. Doing A constitution is useless if it is merely read and debated rather than obeyed. Yeshua concludes His address with four sobering warnings demanding personal allegiance: Two Gates: The wide, crowded gate leading to destruction versus the narrow, difficult gate leading to life (7:13–14). Two Trees: True prophets and false prophets, known not by their charisma or titles, but by their actual fruit (7:15–20). Two Confessions: Warning that crying "Lord, Lord" or performing signs in His name is worthless if one practices lawlessness (anomia). Only those who do the will of the Father will enter (7:21–23). Two Foundations: The sermon ends with a dramatic builder’s test. The person who hears these words and builds on them is a wise man who digs deep and anchors his house on the solid bedrock. When the storms, floods, and winds beat against that life, it stands firm. The person who hears and does not obey builds on shifting sand—and great is the fall of it (7:24–27). When Yeshua concluded, the crowds were astonished. He did not quote human traditions or cite precedent like the scribes; He spoke as the Lawgiver and King Himself, laying down the permanent, unalterable rule of life for all who call Him Lord.

  • Nailed to the cross | Answers 4 Saints

    Nailed To The Cross The New Covenant Bottom of the page The New Covenant The Fulfillment of the Law The New Covenant Nailed to the cross Christ Redeemed Us nailed to the cross the law of the spirit and death is hung on the cross redeeming mankind from the curse of sin and death through his death on the cross. You've perfectly summarized a core doctrine of Christianity: redemption from the curse of sin and death through Jesus' death on the cross. Let's unpack what each part of that statement means in Christian theology: "Redeeming mankind": Redeem means to "buy back " or "pay a price for something lost or forfeited." In ancient times, it could refer to buying a slave's freedom or repurchasing property. In a spiritual sense, mankind was "lost" or "enslaved" to sin and its consequences. Jesus "bought back" humanity's freedom. "From the curse of sin and death": Sin: In Christianity, sin is not merely a mistake but an active rebellion against God's holy nature and perfect will. It's disobedience and a breaking of God's law. Curse of Sin : The Bible teaches that sin brought a curse upon creation and humanity. This curse manifests as: Spiritual Death: Separation from God, which is the ultimate source of life. Physical Death : The eventual cessation of biological life. Spiritual Bondage: The inability to overcome sin's power on one's own. Condemnation : The just judgment and punishment from a holy God. The "curse" also relates to the consequences described in Genesis 3 after the Fall – toil, pain, fractured relationships, and mortality. "Through his death on the cross": This is the means by which redemption is achieved. Atonement: Jesus, being fully God and fully man, lived a perfect, sinless life. His death on the cross is understood as a substitute (vicarious) atonement. He took upon Himself the penalty and punishment for humanity's sins, satisfying the demands of divine justice. Sacrifice: His death is seen as the ultimate sacrifice, the perfect Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. Victory: While appearing to be a defeat, the cross is also understood as the place where Jesus disarmed the powers of darkness, cancelled the legal debt of sin, and ultimately triumphed over sin and death (especially when combined with His resurrection). In essence, because of sin, humanity was under a divine curse leading to death and separation from God. Jesus, by willingly dying on the cross, paid the ultimate price, thereby redeeming those who believe in Galatians 3:12 The law, however, is not based on faith; on the contrary, “The man who does these things will live by them.” 13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us. For it is written: “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree.” 14 He redeemed us in order that the blessing promised to Abraham would come to the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit. … COLOSSI ANS 2:13-15 13 You were dead because of your sins and because your sinful nature was not yet cut away. Then God made you alive with Christ, for he forgave all our sins. 14 He canceled the record of the charges against us and took it away by nailing it to the cross. New Covenant The New Covenant is a central concept in Christian theology, representing a fundamental shift in God's relationship with humanity, as promised in the Old Testament and established through Jesus Christ in the New Testament. It stands in contrast to the Old Covenant (or Mosaic Covenant), which was established with Israel through Moses at Mount Sinai, centered on the Law. Here's a breakdown of the New Covenant: 1. Old Testament Prophecies of the New Covenant The idea of a "new covenant" was first prophesied in the Old Testament, most famously in: Jeremiah 31:31-34: "Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah, not like the covenant that I made with their fathers on the day when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, my covenant that they broke, though I was their husband, declares the Lord. For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord: I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they shall be my people. And no longer shall each one teach his neighbor and each his brother, saying, 'Know the Lord,' for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest, declares the Lord. For I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more." Other prophets like Ezekiel also hint at a new spirit and new heart (e.g., Ezekiel 36:26-27). And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you. And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes and be careful to obey my rules. These prophecies highlight the perceived failures of the Old Covenant (people broke it) and hint at a more internal, trans formative covenant. 2. Establishment of the New Covenant in Christ Christians believe the New Covenant was inaugurated by Jesus Christ through His life, death, and resurrection: His Blood: Jesus explicitly links the New Covenant to His blood during the Last Supper: "This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins." (Luke 22:20; Matthew 26:28; 1 Corinthians 11:25). His sacrificial death is the basis for this new agreement. His Fulfillment of the Law: Jesus is seen as fulfilling the Old Covenant Law (Matthew 5:17), not abolishing it, but bringing it to its intended goal and perfection. He satisfied its righteous demands. His Resurrection and the Holy Spirit: The New Covenant is made effective through the power of the Holy Spirit, whom Jesus sent after His resurrection and ascension. 3. Key Characteristics of the New Covenant The New Covenant contrasts with the Old Covenant in several significant ways: Internal vs. External: The Law of the Old Covenant was primarily external, written on stone tablets. The New Covenant involves God's Law being written on the heart and mind (Jeremiah 31:33; Hebrews 8:10), implying an internal transformation and desire to obey. Forgiveness of Sins: A central promise of the New Covenant is the forgiveness of sins, where God declares, "I will remember their sin no more" (Jeremiah 31:34; Hebrews 8:12). This forgiveness is achieved through Christ's sacrifice. Direct Access to God: Under the Old Covenant, access to God was mediated through priests and rituals. Under the New Covenant, believers have direct access to God through Christ (Hebrews 4:14-16, 10:19-22). Empowerment by the Holy Spirit: Instead of relying on human effort to keep the Law (which consistently failed), the New Covenant provides the Holy Spirit to empower believers to live righteously and obey God's will (Ezekiel 36:27; Romans 8:3-4). Relationship of Grace and Faith: While the Old Covenant had elements of grace, the New Covenant is overwhelmingly characterized by grace, received through faith in Jesus Christ, rather than through perfect adherence to legalistic rituals or commands (Ephesians 2:8-9; Romans 3:21-26). Universal Scope: While the Old Covenant was primarily with the nation of Israel, the New Covenant extends to all who believe, both Jews and Gentiles, forming a "spiritual Israel" or the Church (Galatians 3:28-29; Romans 10:12). 4. Significance for Christians For Christians, the New Covenant signifies: Salvation : It's the basis for salvation and reconciliation with God. New Life: It inaugurates a new way of life characterized by an internal transformation and empowerment by the Holy Spirit. Fulfillment: I t demonstrates God's faithfulness in fulfilling His ancient promises. Foundation of the Church: It is the foundation upon which the Christian Church is built. In summary, the New Covenant, established through Jesus Christ, is understood as a superior and everlasting covenant that brings forgiveness, internal transformation, direct access to God, and empowerment by the Holy Spirit, all based on God's grace and received through faith.

How "First Day of the Week" Entered the Text The phrase "first day of the week" found in modern English Bibles is not a direct translation of the original text. It is a calculated linguistic substitution designed to align the Scriptures with a Roman calendar system rather than the Creator's calendar. The Confrontation: "You base an entire doctrine of Sunday worship on a handful of resurrection verses, claiming the Master changed the day of rest. But you are basing your theology on a translation choices made centuries later. When you pull back the English cover and look at the original manuscripts, the phrase 'Sunday' or 'first day of the week' completely vanishes. Read Matthew 28:1 and John 20:1." The Verse: * Matthew 28:1 (Literal Greek): "Ὀψὲ δὲ σαββάτων, τῇ ἐπιφωσκούσῃ εἰς μίαν σαββάτων..." * King James Version (With added words): "In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week..." The Shock: "The literal text completely dismantles the traditional Sunday narrative: The Original Greek: In every single resurrection account, the manuscripts do not contain the words for 'first day of the week.' The text explicitly reads mia tōn sabbatōn (μία τῶν σαββάτων), which literally translates to 'the first of the Sabbaths.' This is direct Hebrew covenant language referencing the countdown of the seven weekly Sabbaths leading up to Pentecost (Leviticus 23:15). The Ancient Translations: The earliest historical translations kept this link intact. Jerome’s Latin Vulgate (382 AD) rendered it literally as 'Una autem sabbati' ('The first of the Sabbath'). Wycliffe’s English Bible (1382) followed suit, translating it straight as 'one day of the sabotis' ('one day of the Sabbaths'). The 16th-Century Shift: The change occurred in the 1500s with William Tyndale and was later formalized by the King James Version in 1611. Translators swapped out 'Sabbath' for the idiom 'first day of the week' to match the Roman solar calendar. To force this interpretation, the KJV translators had to insert the words 'day of the' in italics, openly admitting those words do not exist in the Greek manuscripts. The Bottom Line: The phrase 'first day of the week' is a later human modification. The original accounts do not inaugurate a new day of worship; they explicitly anchor the resurrection timeline directly to the Hebrew Sabbath calendar." The Sign of the Sabbath Exodus 31:14 (Numbers 15:32–36) 12 And the LORD said to Moses, 13“Tell the Israelites, ‘Surely you must keep My Sabbaths, for this will be a sign between Me and you for the generations to come, so that you may know that I am the LORD who sanctifies you. 14 Keep the Sabbath, for it is holy to you. (Anyone who profanes it must surely be put to death. ) "Christians must not judaize by resting on the Sabbath, but must work on that day, rather honoring the Lord's Day; and, if they can, resting then as Christians. But if any shall be found to be judaizers, let them be anathema from Christ." 1910 (Modern Doctrinal Exposition – The Convert’s Catechism): Peter Geiermann’s Catechism: Formally affirmed the Church’s exercise of ecclesiastical authority in altering the day of worship: Q: Which is the Sabbath day? A: Saturday is the Sabbath day. Q: Why do we observe Sunday instead of Saturday? A: We observe Sunday instead of Saturday because the Catholic Church transferred the solemnity from Saturday to Sunday. Present Official Doctrine (Catechism of the Catholic Church): Paragraph 2175: Summarizes the official theological rationale—defining Sunday as a distinct observance that supersedes and spiritually fulfills the seventh day: And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and he entered, as his custom was, into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up to read. Luk3 4:16 So when the Jews went out of the synagogue, the Gentiles begged that these words might be preached to them the next Sabbath . ACTS 1 The mark of God Is the Sabbath 777 is found on the Sabbath Genesis 2:1-3 2 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. 2 And on the seventh day God finished the work that he had done, and he rested on the seventh day from all the work that he had done. 3 So God blessed the seventh day and made it holy because on it God rested from all the work that he had done in creation. There are three elements to a legal seal. The name, His Title, His territory Exodus 20:8-11 God seal/sign 8 “Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. 9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is a sabbath to the Lord your God . On it, you shall not do any work , neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your male or female servant, nor your animals, nor any foreigner residing in your towns. 11 For in six days the Lord he made (creator) heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy. Len v skutkoch sa sabat spomína 85-krát 37 biblických veršov o sabate, v Nt Ruší Nový zákon sobotu? Tento deň odpočinku, hovorí Ježiš, je stvorený pre ľudí (Marek 2:27). Ježiš o sebe tvrdí, že je „Pán soboty“. ‘ Toto panstvo neruší sobotu – prečo by totiž Ježiš rušil niečo, nad čím si vyhlasuje, že je vládcom? – ale namiesto toho posilňuje jej vitalitu pre život. Sobota a vzkriesenie V celej biblii nie je miesto, kde by ste našli verše, ktoré menia siedmy deň sabatu na nedeľu, prečo vás netrápi, keď sa klaniate v iný deň, ako je deň, ktorý Boh posvätil, a nezabúdajte? Je to štvrté prikázanie. Väčšina kresťanov poukazuje na Rimanom 14 ako dôkazový text o zmene sobotného dňa, avšak slovo Sabat v knihe nenájdete. Nemýľte sa, Boh vám dovolí vzoprieť sa mu a neposlúchnuť ho. Umožní vám nasledovať dav a tradície mužov. Dovolí ti hrešiť. Ale tiež hovorí, že prichádza deň zúčtovania. Ako zaseješ, tak budeš žať! Je zaujímavé si všimnúť, že je len jeden deň v týždni, ktorému Otec dáva meno, sabat, siedmy deň. Všetky ostatné dni sú čísla. Ezechiel 22:26 Jej kňazi (vaši pastieri) porušovali môj zákon a znesvätili moje sväté veci; nerobili rozdiel medzi svätým a svetským a neučili rozdiel medzi nečistým a čistým; a skrývajú svoje oči pred mojimi sobotami, a ja som medzi nimi znesvätený. 27 Jej kniežatá v nej sú ako vlci, ktorí trhajú korisť, prelievajú krv a ničia životy, aby získali nečestný zisk.… Ezechiel 20:12Tiež som im dal svoje soboty, aby boli znamením medzi mnou a nimi, aby vedeli, že ja som Hospodin, ktorý ich posväcujem. Ako môže byť niekto posvätený bez dodržiavania sabatu? Exodus 20:9 „Pamätaj na deň soboty, aby si ho svätil. Šesť dní budeš pracovať a robiť všetku svoju prácu, ale siedmy deň je sobota Hospodina, tvojho Boha. Nebudeš v ňom robiť žiadnu prácu ani ty, ani tvoj syn, ani tvoja dcéra, ani tvoj sluha, ani tvoja slúžka, ani tvoj dobytok, ani tvoj cudzinec, ktorý je v tvojich bránach. Lebo za šesť dní stvoril Hospodin nebo a zem, more a všetko, čo je v nich, a siedmy deň odpočíval. Preto Jehova požehnal sobotný deň a posvätil ho“ (2 Moj 20,8-11). 1Pt 1:15 Ale ako Svätý, ktorý vás povolal, buďte aj vy svätí vo všetkom svojom správaní; pretože je napísané: "BUDEŠ SVÄTÝ, LEBO JA SOM SVÄTÝ." ● 3. Mojžišova 20:26 Takto mi budete svätí, lebo ja, Jehova, som svätý; a oddelil som ťa od národov, aby si bol môj. „Jehova ťa dnes vyhlásil za svoj ľud, (IZRAEL), vzácne vlastníctvo, ako ti sľúbil, a že budeš dodržiavať všetky Jeho prikázania; a že ťa vyvýši nad všetky národy, ktoré stvoril, na chválu, slávu a česť; a že budete zasväteným ľudom Jehovovi, svojmu Elohimovi, ako povedal." Učeníci zachovávali sobotu 85-krát v knihe Skutkov. Skutky 20:6-7 Po sviatku nekvasených chlebov sme sa však plavili z Filipp a o päť dní sme sa pripojili k ostatným v Troade, kde sme zostali sedem dní. Prvý deň v týždni sme sa zišli na lámanie chleba. Pavol sa rozprával s ľuďmi, a keďže chcel na druhý deň odísť, hovoril až do polnoci. Verš 7 hovorí v angličtine, že apoštoli sa zišli v prvý deň týždňa, čím mnohým naznačuje, že sabat je teraz prvý deň týždňa Keďže tento verš sa používa na obranu nedele ako nového sabatného dňa, pozrime sa na grécky verš, kde verš 7 hovorí „prvý deň v týždni“. V gréčtine sa vlastne hovorí... mia ton sabaton Grécke slovo mia znamená „jeden“, nie „prvý“ ... je to grécke slovo „protos“, ktoré znamená „prvý“, čo sa v texte nenachádza. Nemôžeme ho prinútiť povedať niečo, čo nehovorí... V skutočnosti sa to prekladá ako „jeden zo sabatov“. Množné číslo. Nie „Prvý deň v týždni“. Jednotné číslo.”. Toto je obrovská chyba v preklade, ktorá bola v priebehu rokov otvorene akceptovaná ako pravda. Moderná cirkev uznáva, že deň vzkriesenia Ješuu pripadá na nedeľu. Poďme sa naozaj pozrieť, ktorý deň bol Ješua vzkriesený. Matúš 20:40 Lebo ako bol Jonáš tri dni a tri noci v bruchu veľkej ryby, tak Syn človeka bude tri dni a tri noci v srdci zeme. Ján 11:9 Ješua odpovedal: „Či nie je dvanásť hodín denného svetla? Ak niekto chodí vo dne, nepotkne sa, lebo vidí vo svetle tohto sveta.10 Ale ak niekto chodí v noci, potkne sa, lebo nemá svetlo.“ ... Tu je niečo na zamyslenie. Ako môžete získať 3 dni a 3 noci alebo 72 hodín od Veľkého piatku do nedeľného ranného vzkriesenia? Ak si to spočítate, bol by vychovaný v pondelok. Logika modernej cirkvi pre zmenu sobotného sabatu na nedeľu neplatí, pretože bohoslužby vzkriesenia by sa mali konať v pondelok popoludní. Boh dal iba siedmy deň meno, všetky ostatné dni boli spočítané. Ak sa pozriete pozorne, uvidíte, že hovoria o jedení a prijatí toho, kto je slabý vo viere, ale nie o sporoch o pochybných veciach. Najmenej 10 krát sa tam spomína stravovanie. Kontext je tu pôst, verš im hovorí, že nezáleží na tom, ktorý deň ste si vybrali na pôst. Ješua hovorí, keď sa postíme, nie ak sa postíš ty. Rimanom 14:5 Jeden má jeden deň nad druhým; iný si váži každý deň rovnako. Nech je každý úplne presvedčený vo vlastnej mysli. Matúš 6:16-18 „A keď sa postíte, nebuďte zachmúrení ako pokrytci, lebo si znetvorujú tvár, aby ostatní videli, ako sa postia. Veru, hovorím vám, dostali svoju odmenu. Ale keď sa postíš, pomaž si hlavu a umy si tvár, aby tvoj pôst nevideli iní, ale tvoj Otec, ktorý je v skrytosti. A tvoj Otec, ktorý vidí v skrytosti, ti odplatí." Žalm 35:13-14 „Obliekol som si vrecovinu; Trápil som sa pôstom; Modlil som sa s hlavou sklonenou na hrudi. Chodil som, akoby som smútil za svojím priateľom alebo bratom; ako ten, čo narieka nad svojou matkou, som sa v smútku poklonil.“

Jehova definuje lásku ako dodržiavanie všetkých Jeho prikázaní. Poslal svojho Syna, aby nás ich naučil a žil podľa nich ako príklad pre nás. Moderní kresťania sú podľa falošného predpokladu, že prikázania sú len pre Židov, ktoré majú nasledovať. Zdá sa, že zabúdajú, že ich Ježiš (Ješua) je Žid.

Zdá sa, že existuje predpoklad, že Jehova prehliadne všetky naše nerozvážnosti, pretože „Pozná moje srdce“, problém je v tom, že pozná naše srdce a nazýva ich podvodníkmi a chorými.

Nasledujúce verše potvrdzujú, že nás nikto nemôže vytrhnúť z Ješuových rúk, no môžeme sa Mu otočiť chrbtom a odísť. Dávame to najavo, keď prestaneme dodržiavať Jehovove prikázania. Ján 10:27 Moje ovce počúvajú môj hlas; Poznám ich a oni Ma nasledujú. 28 Dávam im večný život a nezahynú naveky. Nikto mi ich nemôže vytrhnúť z ruky. 29 Môj Otec, ktorý mi ich dal, je väčší ako všetci.

Písmo je veľmi jasné, musíme mať poslušné srdce a vydržať až do konca, aby sme si zabezpečili spásu. Všetky zostávajúce verše potvrdzujú, že musíme vydržať, zostať pevní, bojovať dobrý boj, až kým nebudeme môcť ďalej bojovať, aby sme boli spasení. 1 Kor 15:58 Preto, moji milovaní bratia, buďte pevní, neochvejní, vždy rozhojňujte sa v diele Pánovom, vediac, že v Pánovi nie je vaša námaha márna.

Lebo Pán vychováva toho, koho miluje, a trestá každého syna, ktorého prijme." Je to kvôli disciplíne, ktorú musíte vydržať. Boh s vami zaobchádza ako so synmi.

Unanswerable questions Možno budete chcieť niektoré alebo všetky tieto otázky položiť aj svojmu obľúbenému pastorovi alebo učiteľovi. Toto učí vaša cirkev. Prvý, kto uviedol svoj prípad, sa zdá byť správny, kým nepríde ďalší a nevypočuje ho. Príslovia 18:17 Nevkladajte svoju dôveru do ľudských vodcov; žiadna ľudská bytosť ťa nemôže zachrániť. Keď naposledy vydýchli, vrátia sa na zem a všetky ich plány zomierajú s nimi. Psalm 146:3 Tak ako je človek určený raz zomrieť a potom čeliť súdu, Hebrejom 9:27 Boh nie je Bohom zmätku, ale pokoja.1 Korinťanom 14:33 Ak bol Boží zákon urobený lepším a Boží zákon je dokonalý (Žalm 19:7), znamená to, že to, čo je už definované ako dokonalé, možno zlepšiť? Ak sme boli oslobodení od Božieho zákona a Božím zákonom je sloboda (Žalm 119:44-45), znamená to, že môžeme byť oslobodení od slobody? Dá sa urobiť Pravda nie Pravdou? (Žalm 119:143;160) Strana 2 z 4 Či už cesta spravodlivosti nemôže byť cestou spravodlivosti? (Deuteronómium 4:8, Príslovia 2:20; Izaiáš 51:7, 2. Petra 2:21; 2. Timotejovi 3:16) Môžu sa Božie cesty zmeniť na iný spôsob? (2. Mojžišova 18:20; 5. Mojžišova 10:12; Josh 22:51; 1 Kráľ 2:3; Žalm 119:1; Príslovia 6:23; Je 2:3; Malachiáš 2:8; Marek 12:14; Skutky 24:14) 6) Ak je Boží zákon večný a Boží zákon sa skončil, znamená to, že sa môže skončiť navždy? Znamená to, že aj večný život môže skončiť? (3. Mojžišova 16:31; 1. Paralipomenon 16:15; Žalm 119:160; Izaiáš 40:8) 7) Dá sa zrušiť to, čo definuje hriech? Môže byť hriech jeden deň hriechom a iný deň nehrešiť? Mení sa definícia hriechu? (4. Mojžišova 15:22–31; Daniel 9:11; 1. Jána 3:4) 9) To, čo je život, už nemôže byť životom? (Jób 33:30; Ža 36:9; Príslovia 6:23; Zjavenie 22:14) 10) Ak je Boh Slovo a Boh sa nemôže zmeniť, ako potom môžeme naznačovať, že Zmenilo sa Božie slovo? (Ján 1:1; Malachiáš 3:6) Ak sa máme tešiť zo zákona Božieho, nemáme sa z neho už tešiť? (Žalm 1:2; 112:1; 119:16; 119:35; 119:47; 119:70; 119:77; 119:92; 119:174; Izaiáš 58:13; Rimanom 7:22) (strana 29) Ak nám bolo povedané, že keď bol zákon zapísaný, bolo nám povedané, aby sme v ňom chodili (5. Mojžišova 10:11-13) s plným vedomím, že Kristus chodil podľa toho istého zákona, a Ján povedal, že máme chodiť presne tak, ako chodil On (1. Jána 2:5 -6), keď Pavol povedal, že máme nasledovať Kristov príklad (1 Kor 11:1), potom by sme sa neriadili tými istými prikázaniami, akými chodil Kristus? _cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b-136ddebad93b_9557dde93b_135ddebad53c Ak je Kristus Slovo, ktoré sa stalo telom a Kristus je Slovo Božie (Ján 1:14; Zjavenie 19:13), a údajne je časť Slova Božieho zrušená, dostal sa na kríž, aby zrušil časti Seba? Ak je Boží zákon celý o milovaní Boha a milovaní druhých, podlieha zmene to, ako milovať Boha a milovať druhých? (2. Mojžišova 20:6; 5. Mojžišova 5:10; 5. Mojžišova 7:10; 11:13; 11:22; 30:16; 6:5; 3. Mojžišova 19:18; Nehemiáš 1:5; Daniel 9:4; Matúš 22:35-37; 10:39; 16:25; Jo 14:15; 14:21; Rimanom 13:9; 1. Jána 5:2-3; 2. Jána 1:6) Ak nás Boží zákon vždy chcel požehnať a byť pre nás dobrý, prečo by nám ho potom po kríži bral? (5. Mojžišova 11:26–27; Žalm 112:1; 119:1–2; Žalm 128:1; Príslovia 8:32; Izaiáš 56:2; Matúš 5:6; 5:10; Lukáš 11:28; Jakub 1:25; 1. Petra 3:14; Zjavenie 22:14; žalm 119) Ak je celým cieľom človeka zachovávať Pánove prikázania (Kazateľ 12:13), potom to už nie je pravda? Matúš 5:17-19 jasne učí, že žiadne prikázania sa nemajú pominúť aspoň dovtedy, kým sa nebo a zem nepominú a kým sa nesplnia všetky zákony a proroci. Okrem toho veriaci, ktorí učia druhých, že prikázania sa pominuli, budú v Nebeskom kráľovstve najmenší, ale tí, ktorí sa snažia dodržiavať celý Boží zákon a učia ostatných robiť to isté, budú v Kráľovstve veľkí. Ako teda môžeme byť spokojní s učením niečoho menej, než čo napísal Mojžiš a čo Kristus praktizoval a učil? Keď nám Kristus prikázal zachovávať a robiť všetko z Mojžišovho stolca (Matúš 23:13), čo je a vždy bolo to, čo Mojžiš napísal, tak prečo by sme to nechceli robiť, najmä keď nám prikazuje učiť všetky národy všetko, čo prikázal, čo by samozrejme zahŕňalo všetko, čo sa učilo zo sídla Mojžiša. Keď Pavol niekoľkokrát uviedol, že verí, praktizuje a učí Boží zákon (ako ho napísal Mojžiš – Skutky 21:20-26; 24:13-14; 25:8) a tiež, že nie je rozdiel medzi Židom a Po grécky v Kristovi (1 Kor 12:12-14; Galaťanom 3:27-29; Kolosanom 3:10-12), ako môžeme pohodlne používať Pavlove listy, aby sme učili, že nemáme dodržiavať celý Boží zákon? Ako môže Pavol vyučovať Boží zákon (ako ho napísal Mojžiš) a zároveň učiť proti Božiemu zákonu? Čo robíme s tým, že poslúchať to, čo napísal Mojžiš, znamená aj učiť pohanov, cudzincov a cudzincov v Izraeli, aby vo viere uplatňovali rovnaký Boží zákon? (Exodus 12:19; 12:38; 12:49; 3. Mojžišova 19:34; 24:22; 4. Mojžišova 9:14; 15:15-16; 15:29). Tiež Izaiáš 42:6; 60:3; Matúš 5:14; Efezanom 2:10-13; Skutky 13:47; Rim 11:16-27; Jeremiáš 31:31-34; Ezechiel 37; 1. Jána 2:10; 1. Jána 1:7) To znamená, že medzi Židmi a pohanmi nikdy nebol rozdiel vo viere. Neboli by všetky tie časy, keď bol Pavol obvinený z toho, že nepraktizoval a neučil Mojžišov zákon, v skutočnosti skutočnými obvineniami namiesto falošných obvinení, aké Pavol tvrdil a demonštroval? Prečo stále existujú obvinenia proti Pavlovi, že učil proti Božiemu zákonu, ktorý napísal Mojžiš? Prečo sa stále musí brániť proti takýmto absurdným tvrdeniam, aj keď proti tomu svedčí kniha Skutkov? Keď sa zdá, že Pavol hovorí o zákone, hovorí buď o ústnom zákone Židov, alebo hovorí o kliatbe zákona, ktorý Mesiáš pribil na kríž. Keď Písmo v NZ uvádza, že máme zachovávať Božie prikázania v našej láske k Nemu (1. Jána 5:2-3) ako odpoveď na Jeho milosť alebo lásku k nám (1. Jána 4:19), ako to môžeme uzavrieť? že máme zachovávať len niektoré Božie prikázania? Sú prikázania v 23. kapitole alebo v 11. kapitole Božími prikázaniami alebo nie? V Izaiášovi 66:15-17 vidíme, že v kontexte Pánovho návratu, keď sa vráti, je jasne naštvaný, že ľudia jedia bravčové mäso. Ak mu na tom záleží vtedy, prečo by sme predpokladali, že mu to teraz nezáleží? V Zachariášovi 14, keď sa Pán vráti k vláde, jasne vidíme, že sa od každého očakáva, že bude sláviť stánky, ako to napísal Mojžiš. Prečo by sa od nás očakávalo, že budeme sláviť stánky pred krížom, ale nie po kríži, ale potom to budeme sláviť znova, keď sa Pán vráti? Ak je Kristus Slovo, ktoré sa stalo telom (Zjavenie 19:13) a je ten istý včera, dnes a naveky (Hebrejom 13:8), potom ako je Slovo Božie, nie to isté včera a naveky ako Izaiáš 40 :8 hovorí? A napokon, s výnimkou nedorozumení v Skutkoch 10 a Skutkoch 15, takmer všetka údajná podpora presvedčenia, že Boží zákon sa zmenil, pramení z čítania vybraných úryvkov z Pavlových listov. Prečo Pavla používame hlavne na zrušenie Božieho zákona, keď Peter jasne hovorí, že Pavlove listy sa často používajú na omyl, pretože Pavlovi je ťažké porozumieť a mnohí, ktorí ho čítajú, nemajú dostatočné znalosti o Božom Slove, ale namiesto toho sú nevedomí a nestáli (2. Petra 3:15-17). Pavol je práve tá osoba, ktorú Peter varuje, aby sme ju nepoužívali na vyučovanie proti Božiemu zákonu. Prečo by ho niekto používal? Toto sú len niektoré z najdôležitejších otázok, ktoré máme pre každého, kto verí, že Boží zákon sa zmenil. Existuje mnoho ďalších, ktoré môžu byť prezentované, ale dúfajme, že vás to prinúti premýšľať. 119 ministerstiev

  • Are you a Christian | Answers 4 Saints

    Are you a REAL Christian? The Christianity of the new testament doesn't exist There was only one person in the entire Bible (Torah) that did everything correctly you proclaim to follow Him however you live and do the opposite. He said if you love me keep my commandments, but you don't Christ said: If you want to enter life, keep the commandments.” …Matthew 19:16 God cannot stand the prayers of anyone who disobeys his Law. Proverbs 28:9 If God's laws mean nothing to you You mean nothing to God But I will reply, ‘I never knew you. Get away from me, you who break God’s laws.’Matthew 7:23 All Israel will be saved If you do the things God hates and refuse to keep His commandments, you will receive the mark of the beast (Your Father the Devil) not the mark of God. “Shout with the voice of a trumpet blast. Shout aloud! Don’t be timid. Tell my people Israel of their sins! Isaiah 58:1 Yeshua is Our Advocate …3By this we can be sure that we have come to know Him: if we keep His commandments. 4If anyone says, “I know Him,” but does not keep His commandments, he is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 5But if anyone keeps His word, the love of God has been truly perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him:… Christianity the New Religion The Final Takeaway Yeshua didn't leave behind a selective checklist where people get to pick and choose which laws to follow. He left a narrow path. This test leaves absolutely no room for casual religion or intellectual debates. Yeshua didn't leave behind a philosophy to be discussed; He left a narrow path to be walked. If the answers point to a life of compromise, it isn't a cue to just feel guilty or give up—it is a direct, urgent call to repent. It means turning away from the ways of the world, picking up the truth of the Torah that Yeshua lived out, and making the firm decision to let your hands, your mind, and your daily life reflect the Master you claim to follow. If people claim to belong to Him but they refuse to live as He lived, keep what He kept, and honor the Torah the way He did, they are practicing lawlessness. True faith is not found in the empty rituals of those who rewrite His words—it is found in literal, active obedience to the Master. According to the New Testament, merely claiming to a Christian and follow the Messiah is not the same as actually following Him. Yeshua said : "And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?" (Luke 6:46) And: "If ye love me, keep my commandments." (John 14:15) The apostle John wrote: "And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him." (1 John 2:3–4) From this perspective, a person who continually refuses to follow the Messiah's teachings while professing faith creates a contradiction between their profession and their actions. However, many Christians would distinguish between: A believer who struggles with sin but desires to obey God and repents when they fail. A person who knowingly rejects God's commands and has no intention of obeying them. The New Testament repeatedly calls believers to repentance, faith, and obedience, while also recognizing that believers are not sinless and may stumble (1 John 1:8–9). So, if someone completely refuses to follow the Messiah and His commandments, many would argue that Scripture calls into question whether that person's profession of faith is genuine. Passages such as Matthew 7:21–23, Luke 6:46, and 1 John 2:3–4 are often cited in that discussion. The core biblical test is not what a person calls themselves, but whether their life shows faith expressed through obedience to God. How to Find Out Which Religion Is Right (It’s Easier Than You Think) Our Lord again reminds us that the manifestation of our love for Him will be in our obedience to His commands. Keeping Christ's commandments is and always has been the best test of our love for Yeshua Children of God Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.” And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws. Ezekiel 36:27 This is how we know that we live in him and he in us: He has given us of his Spirit. 1 John 4:1 And For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God. Romans 8:1 1 See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him. 2 Beloved, we are God’s children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared; but we know that when he appears we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he is. 3 And everyone who thus hopes in him purifies himself as he is pure. 4 Everyone who makes a practice of sinning also practices lawlessness; sin is lawlessness. 5 You know that he appeared in order to take away sins, and in him, there is no sin. 6 No one who abides in him keeps on sinning; no one who keeps on sinning has either seen him or known him. 7 Little children, let no one deceive you. Whoever practices righteousness is righteous, as he is righteous. 8 Whoever makes a practice of sinning is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil. 9 No one born of God makes a practice of sinning, for God’s seed abides in him; and he cannot keep on sinning, because he has been born of God. 10 By this it is evident who are the children of God, and who are the children of the devil: whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is the one who does not love his brother. brother. My old self has been crucified with Christ. It is no longer me who lives, but Christ lives in me. So I live in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. Galatians 2:20 God's seal is not a physical mark The forehead represents the mind of those who make a conscious decision to obey God's requirements to receive His seal will protect us from the last seven plagues. The Mark of God is a sign of obedience between God and His faithful Thus the Sabbath is the sign of a relationship between God and His people, serving as "a test of their loyalty to Him" Yeshua is the LORD of the Sabbath, not Sunday and they get the Mark of God will escape the plages. We are sealed by the Holy Spirit. Is a characteristic of people who have surrendered their lives to God God's seal is in His laws. Bind up the testimonies and seal the law among my disciples. God's sign is His seal, the words sing and seal are interchangeable in the bible. The Sabbath is God's sign, The Sabbath is the seventh day of the week. The fourth commandment is to remember the Sabbath. There is not one scripture in the entire Bible changing the Sabbath to Sunday. Its a sign of God's authority He chose the day. There are three elements to a legal seal, The seal giver His title His territory The Great Commission The Great Commission is Jesus's final instruction to his disciples before his ascension, found in Matthew 28:19-20. The passage says, "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." This is not just a suggestion, but a command for all who follow Him. Why It Is Considered a Sin A Command, Not a Suggestion: The Bible frames this as a clear directive. A sin is defined as "missing the mark" or an act of disobedience against God's will. Willfully ignoring a direct command from Jesus is therefore considered a sinful act. The Nature of a Disciple: In Christian belief, a true disciple isn't just a follower, but a learner and a reproducer. The biblical understanding is that a disciple of Jesus should naturally want to share their faith and help others become disciples, just as they were discipled. A Christian who has no desire to make disciples may be demonstrating a lack of genuine conversion or a spiritual selfishness that is contrary to the self-sacrificial nature of Christ. Sins of Omission: The Bible teaches that sin isn't only about doing something wrong (sins of commission) but also about failing to do something you know you should do (sins of omission). Not making disciples falls squarely into this category. It's an act of neglecting a divinely ordained responsibility. While a Christian's salvation isn't based on their ability to make disciples, their obedience to this command is seen as evidence of their faith and love for God and others. For many, a failure to engage in this work points to a deeper spiritual issue, such as fear, a lack of trust in God's power, or a love for oneself more than for others. There is now one single law that rules both Jew and Greek alike: The law of faith (Romans 3:27) The law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:2) The law of Christ = love God and love your neighbor, fulfilled by the Spirit (Galatians 5:14; 6:2; Romans 13:8–10) One God. One Messiah. One gospel. One law for Jews and Greeks: faith in the crucified and risen Jesus. That is why Paul can say in the very next breath after “neither Jew nor Greek”: “You are all one in Christ Jesus. And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s offspring, heirs according to the promise” (Galatians 3:28–29). Same promise. Same inheritance. Same law. No exceptions. No special tracks.

  • 25 | Answers 4 Saints Repentance

    Repentance is the key by which we can enter His Kingdom, the way by which we are cleansed to be like Him, and the way He heals a nation. Most of us feel pretty good about ourselves, we don't want anyone to point out anything that make us feel uncomfortable about anything, especially salvation. Video pokánia Pokánie je kľúčom, ktorým môžeme vstúpiť do Jeho Kráľovstva, cestou, ktorou sa očisťujeme, aby sme boli ako On, a cestou, ktorou uzdravuje národ. Väčšina z nás má zo seba celkom dobrý pocit, nechceme, aby nám niekto poukazoval na niečo, čo nám spôsobuje nepríjemný pocit z čohokoľvek, najmä zo spasenia. Ak by Peter prišiel do vašej cirkvi a dal to isté posolstvo, aké dal na Letnice, väčšina ľudí by ho obvinila z odsudzovania a rozdeľovania. Jehova nám prikázal zachovávať Jeho prikázania a ustanovenia. Prečo nie? Váš pastor nechce, aby ste sa cítili vinní alebo aby ste zranili svoje city. Ak ste nikdy kriticky nepreskúmali svoje srdce a v určitom bode ste sa nepýtali, čo musím urobiť pre spasenie, potom ste pravdepodobne nikdy nečinili skutočné pokánie. _cc781905- 5cde-3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_ _cc781905-5cde- 3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_ _cc781905-5cde-3194- bb3b-136bad5cf58d_ _cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b- 136bad5cf58d_ _cc781905-5c de-3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_ _cc781905-5cde- 3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_ _cc781905-5cde-3194- bb3b-136bad5cf58d_ _cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b- 136bad5cf58d_ _cc781905- 5cde-3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d__cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b -136bad5cf58d_ Reader pay attention 4 Lebo ako možno tých, ktorí zanechajú svoju vieru, priviesť späť k pokániu? Boli raz v Božom svetle; okúsili nebeský dar a dostali svoj podiel Ducha Svätého; 5 zo skúsenosti vedeli, že Božie slovo je dobré, a pocítili silu budúceho veku. 6 A potom opustili svoju vieru! Nie je možné ich priviesť späť k pokániu, pretože opäť ukrižujú Božieho Syna a vystavujú ho verejnej hanbe. Hebrejom 6:4 Marek 3:29 „ale ten, kto sa rúha (prítomný čas) Duchu Svätému, nikdy nemá odpustenie, ale podlieha večnému odsúdeniu „Netvrdí, že ten, kto sa „rúhal“ (minulý čas) Duchu, sa nikdy neodpustí._cc781905- 5cde-3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_ Raz sme sa všetci rúhali Duchu, pretože sme všetci nenávideli Slovo Božie... kým sme neprišli do viery a nezačali rásť v láske k Slovu Božiemu. Vidíš ten rozdiel? Je to ten, kto sa aktívne a momentálne angažuje v neposlúchaní Božieho Slova, zvyčajne, bez starostlivosti alebo starostí, bez lásky k Slovu, kto nemá odpustenie. Ak teda milujete Slovo Božie a máte túžbu praktizovať Slovo Božie, potom sa nerúhate ani neopovrhujete Duchom Božím...pretože je to Duch Boží, ktorý je v našom srdci túžbou ísť za Jeho Tórou. Je rozdiel medzi súčasným nekajúcnym sa a rúhaním sa Duchu alebo nenávisťou voči Slovu Božiemu....táto osoba nikdy nemá odpustenie....a potom osoba, ktorá sa rúhala Duchu a činila pokánie a miluje kráčať v Jeho Tóre. ako náš Mesiáš učil a praktizoval...je to on, kto má odpustenie. 119 ministerstvá Marek 1:14 Povedal: „Naplnil sa čas a priblížilo sa kráľovstvo Božie. Čiňte pokánie a verte v evanjelium!” Lukáš 3:8 Prinášajte ovocie podľa pokánia. A nezačínajte si hovoriť: Otca máme Abraháma. Lebo vám hovorím, že z týchto kameňov môže Boh vzbudiť Abrahámovi deti. Ak boli Božie zákony odstránené, ako potom môžete činiť pokánie? Čiňte pokánie z čoho? „Pokánie je predpokladom viery. Čo je to pokánie? Jeho základný význam je „zmeniť“ alebo „otočiť“. Keď človek počuje evanjelium a je presvedčený, že jeho spôsob života je nesprávny, musí zmeniť svoje správanie a vrátiť sa k Tóre. Jehova nazýva Tóru svojimi pokynmi pre svoje deti. Ľudia môžu identifikovať vašu poslušnosť v nasledovaní Tóry ako konverziu na judaizmus. Zdá sa, že zabúdajú, že náš Spasiteľ je Žid a to, čo povedal o všetkých, ktorí sú v Kristovi, sú jedno? Ak hriech láme Tóru. Poslušnosť by bola dodržiavanie Tóry. Smútiť; chcieť sa zmeniť; úplná zmena myslenia. Zmeňte svoj názor na hriech, rozhodnutie opustiť hriech a poslúchať Boha. (hriech je porušenie zákona); Otočiť sa; urobiť 180; Keď robíme pokánie, vidíme tieto tri kroky? Cítime sa vinní za svoj hriech, ktorým je prestúpenie Tóry. Prestávame praktizovať hriech. Odvrátili sme sa od hriechu a začali sme chodiť s Bohom. Ján 3:8 "Vreteno vreteníc, kto ťa varoval, aby si utiekol pred prichádzajúcim hnevom? Prinášajte ovocie hodné pokánia. 1 Ján 2:15-16 Nemilujte svet ani veci vo svete. Ak niekto miluje svet, nie je v ňom Otcova láska, pretože všetko, čo je vo svete (túžba tela a žiadostivosť očí a arogancia spôsobená hmotnými statkami), nie je od Otca, ale je zo sveta. Pokánie nie je len pociťovať ľútosť alebo výčitky svedomia, ale byť tak zasiahnutý vo svojom srdci, že človek hľadá očistenie krstu a začína žiť podľa Božích noriem – podľa Božieho zákona. Ľútosť bez zodpovedajúcej zmeny správania nie je pokáním! Ovocie pokánia sú viditeľné činy – často nazývané „skutky“, ktoré ukazujú, že človek sa skutočne zmenil. Keď Ján Krstiteľ kázal pokánie, aby pripravil cestu pre Ješuovu službu, jeho poslucháči sa ho pýtali, čo majú robiť, aby činili pokánie. On odpovedá: Lukáš 3:10-14 Oblečte nahých, nakŕmte hladných, nekradnite, nezneužívajte svoju moc na utláčanie, neklamte ani neobviňujte falošne a uspokojte sa so svojou mzdou. ● Marek 1:15 Ješua povedal: „Príďte vo forme naliehavého príkazu: „Naplnil sa čas a priblížilo sa kráľovstvo Božie. Čiňte pokánie a verte v evanjelium." Týmito skutkami je poslúchanie Božích zákonov a prejavovanie lásky k blížnemu. ● Matúš 19:17 Ješua povedal: „Ak chceš vojsť do večného života, zachovávaj prikázania." Ján 12:49-50 Lebo som nehovoril sám od seba, ale Otec, ktorý ma poslal, mi dal prikázanie – čo mám hovoriť a čo hovoriť. 50 A viem, že Jeho prikázanie je večný život. Čo teda hovorím, hovorím tak, ako mi povedal Otec. Aby ste sa riadili Božími pokynmi, musíte ísť tam, kde sa prvýkrát spomínajú v Biblii. Postupujte podľa písomných pokynov Tóry, prvých piatich kníh vašej biblie, nie od svojho pastora alebo iného človeka. Žalm 146:2 Chváliť budem Hospodina, kým žijem; Budem spievať chvály svojmu Bohu, kým budem. 3 Neverte v kniežatá, v smrteľného človeka, v ktorom niet spásy. 4 Jeho duch odchádza; vracia sa na zem; V ten istý deň jeho myšlienky zaniknú. Ezechiel 22:26 "Jej kňazi (pastieri) páchali násilnosti proti môjmu zákonu a znesväcovali moje sväté veci, nerobili rozdiel medzi svätým a svetským a neučili rozdiel medzi nečistým a čistým. skrývajú si oči pred mojimi sabatmi a ja som medzi nimi znesvätený. 27 Jej kniežatá v nej sú ako vlci, ktorí trhajú korisť, prelievajú krv a ničia životy, aby získali nečestný zisk.… Matúš 15:8 Títo ľudia ma ctia perami, ale ich srdce je odo mňa ďaleko. Márne Ma uctievajú; učia ako doktrínu ľudské príkazy.'“ Matúš 15:14 Nechajte ich, sú slepými vodcami slepých. A ak slepý vedie slepého, obaja padnú do priekopy. 2 Korinťanom 13:15 Skúšajte a hodnoťte sami seba, či ste vo viere a či žijete svoj život ako [oddaní] veriaci. Preskúmajte seba [nie mňa]! Alebo to na sebe nepoznáte [na základe neustálej skúsenosti], že Ješua je vo vás – pokiaľ v skúške neprejdete a nebudete odmietnutí ako falzifikát?
