Preface Like many of my blog entries here, this entry is quite lengthy when compared to the average blog elsewhere. But the subject matter is crucial, and requires not only much thought and prayer, but investigation and scriptural documentation to validate it.
When I share these things with you, friends and brothers and sisters, I never want a single one of you to accept a single thing I say without testing every word against THE WORD. I try to make that a little easier for you by giving you a head start, citing verses that I think provide strong support for the things I say. I am not interpreting scripture here. I am looking to scripture to interpret itself. I encourage you to do the very same, always. Never take the word of any man, no matter who he is, no matter who else does, and no matter how long his teaching has been around. I hope that you'll not allow the length of this or any entry here to put you off of reading and considering prayerfully and through investigation of your own the things said. Peace be with all reading. Introduction There has been much discussion between brothers and sisters in Christ, both historically and in modernity, regarding the law and its status as the result of all that our Saviour Yahshua of Nazareth accomplished by His life and His death in our stead, as well as by His resurrection. Please accept this invitation to join me as I attempt to address this debate from a scriptural point of view. Think not that I came to destroy the law or the prophets: I came not to destroy, but to fulfil. (Matthew 5:17) We know from this single verse that Yahshua came to fulfill the law, not destroy it, yet we know from scripture that He did indeed nullify much (if not all) of the Mitzvot (the 613 laws of Moses) and other ordinances which were added to the commandments written in stone by God's own finger as time progressed. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass away from the law, till all things be accomplished. (Matthew 5:18) In this verse, Yahshua teaches us that the law will stand until heaven and earth pass away. Knowing that He did not come to destroy the law, we must conclude that anything which has been done away with by Yahshua was not really part of the law at all. There has been much conjecture on the subject, but in light of the abundant scriptural evidence that is available in the Word to every believer, conjecture is not necessary, nor is it a valid way to go about our search for understanding. It is a violation of the first of Yahshua's two great commandments! Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law? And he said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second like unto it is this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. On these two commandments the whole law hangeth, and the prophets. (Matthew 22:36-40) If the whole law hangs on these two great commandments, then the law is supported by them, isn't it? If the law hangs on them, they hold the law up, yes? Please notice: with all our minds. But how are we to apply our minds to loving Him? Through the use of imagination, theorizing and conjecture? In part, perhaps, for there certainly is a creative and imaginative component to our minds. But that still doesn't satisfy the requirement that we use all our mind. There is an investigative component to our minds which all of these ignore, and we must use that first, and then utilize the creative components that are also present! If we love God, we love His WORD, and it is in His Word and through it that we will apply our minds to understanding Him and loving Him! How can we love Him without trying to understand Him? And to understand Him, we must understand His Word first! In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. (John 1:1) Learn from the Word, not from men! Don't settle for a doctrine based on a verse or set of verses as interpreted by another man! Rather, dig into the Word and allow it to interpret itself and illuminate its truth for you! Those who would tell you that the Holy Spirit will illuminate your mind without any effort on your part are ignoring one important fact: It is the Holy Spirit which inspired every word of scripture! He has already spoken to you, friends, and anyone who tells you that Old Testament scripture is not meant to be incorporated into new testament doctrine is lying to you and opposing himself or herself to the teaching of the Holy Spirit! All Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, so that the man of God may be perfected, being fully furnished for every good work. (2 Timothy 3:16-17) Nowhere are we taught in scripture that knowledge will come effortlessly! In fact, Yahshua taught us the opposite! Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: for every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. (Matthew 7:7-8) Ask! Seek! Knock! Love God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind! Don't just sit in a pew in some building called a church and allow someone else to do the thinking for you! And as for you, the anointing which ye received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any one teach you; but as his anointing teacheth you; concerning all things, and is true, and is no lie, and even as it taught you, ye abide in him. Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are from God; for many false prophets have gone forth into the world. (1 John 2:27, 4:1) YHVH Speaks! YHVH has spoken to men in many ways, and one of those ways is with an actual, audible voice. One occasion on which that happened was when He spoke to Moses on Mt. Sinai, when Moses received from God the ten commandments. And the LORD said unto Moses, Thus thou shalt say unto the children of Israel, Ye have seen that I have talked with you from heaven. (Exodus 20:22) Another occasion on which God's voice was audibly heard is also described in scripture: And behold, there appeared to them Moses and Elijah, talking with him. And Peter said to Jesus, "Lord, it is good that we are here. If you wish, I will make three tents here, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah." He was still speaking when, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and a voice from the cloud said, "This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased; listen to him." When the disciples heard this, they fell on their faces and were terrified. But Jesus came and touched them, saying, "Rise, and have no fear." And when they lifted up their eyes, they saw no one but Jesus only. (Matthew 17:3-8) The instant that Peter proposed to make a place for Moses and Elijah to dwell in even a little longer, a cloud came and obscured them from view, YHVH spoke from heaven and told them to listen to Yahshua, and when Peter looked up again, only Yahshua remained; Moses and Elijah were gone! YHVH was telling them that they (and we) are to look to Yahshua and no one else for our understanding from then on! This is my Son, listen to Him! And poof, Moses and Elijah are gone, only Yahshua remains. Distinguishing Between the Law of God and the Laws of Men (Including Moses) Yahshua, Moses and Elijah, all standing together... what a sight! But what does God say to those present when He speaks to them from heaven? In the following passages of scripture, we'll see Yahshua acknowledging the law of God while doing away with ordinances that were later added to that law by men, even if that man happened to be Moses. Mindful of the fact that He tells us that He came to fulfill the law and not destroy it, we must conclude from these verses that the things that Yahshua did away with were no part of the law at all, even if they were given by Moses. We should also note that even while in the process of doing away with points of law contained in the Mitzvot and elsewhere, He upheld and was often in the process of observing and fulfilling the law which stands until heaven and earth pass away - God's law. Healing and Ordinances And behold, there came to him a leper and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. And he stretched forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou made clean. And straightway his leprosy was cleansed. (Matthew 8:2-3) Yahshua touched him! This man was unclean, but he worshipped Yahshua, and Yahshua touched him! That sure reminds me of the day I first came to him... I was as unclean as they come! How about you? But to touch a leper (or anything that was unclean according to the law of Moses) was a violation of the the law of Moses! The manner in which a leper was to be healed was distinctly prescribed in ordinances (see Leviticus 14), and there was quite a bit of process and ritual involved! By simply telling the man to be healed and ignoring the prescribed process, Yahshua violated the law of Moses a second time in a matter of seconds, and demonstrated that those ordinances were not a part of the law that will stand until heaven and earth pass away! And Jesus arose, and followed him, and so did his disciples. And behold, a woman, who had an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: for she said within herself, If I do but touch his garment, I shall be made whole. But Jesus turning and seeing her said, Daughter, be of good cheer; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour. (Matthew 9:19-22) What a demonstration of the power of faith! This woman was healed by simply touching Yahshua's garment because of her faith in Him! But please note that the faith she had and the healing she received because of it actually required that she violate certain ordinances which pronounced her to be unclean and prohibited any physical contact with her (see Leviticus 15:19-31). According to those ordinances, Yahshua Himself would have become unclean by the very act of her touching His garment, yet the Word tells us that He was without blemish. Sabbath Law -vs- Sabbath Ordinances And a certain man was there, who had been thirty and eight years in his infirmity. When Jesus saw him lying, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wouldest thou be made whole? The sick man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me. Jesus saith unto him, Arise, take up thy bed, and walk. And straightway the man was made whole, and took up his bed and walked. Now it was the sabbath on that day. So the Jews said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath, and it is not lawful for thee to take up thy bed. But he answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy bed, and walk. (John 5:5-11) This was the sabbath day of a yearly feast, and Yahshua was there in Jerusalem to observe it, yet He instructed this man to do what was prohibited by ordinance - carrying his mat on the day of the Sabbath! Yahshua observed the feast and the Sabbath but did away with the additional ordinances that had been attached to it! He not only healed on the Sabbath day, but He instructed the man whom He had healed to pick up his mat and take it with him when he walked for the first time in 38 years! He taught the man to violate the ordinance! Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. (Matthew 5:19) Will Yahshua be called least in the Kingdom of Heaven, or great? And he departed thence, and went into their synagogue: and behold, a man having a withered hand. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day? that they might accuse him. And he said unto them, What man shall there be of you, that shall have one sheep, and if this fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift it out? How much then is a man of more value than a sheep! Wherefore it is lawful to do good on the sabbath day. Then saith he to the man, Stretch forth thy hand. And he stretched it forth; and it was restored whole, as the other. (Matthew 12:9-13) Here we see Yahshua acknowledging the Sabbath law and observing it, yet annulling the Mitzvot and other additions to it, and we know that He did so on more than one occasion. But never do we see Him dispute or fail to obey the commandments given directly by God to observe the sabbath and keep it holy, nor do we see Him teach others that it is anything but holy and worthy of observance. Yahshua brings the true law, the law which stands until heaven and earth pass away, back into focus. We see Him depicting by way of His actions the proper observance of the law, and teaching through His words the Spirit of the law. Adultery: Law -vs- Ordinances They say unto him, Why then did Moses command to give a bill of divorcement, and to put her away? He saith unto them, Moses for your hardness of heart suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it hath not been so. And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and he that marrieth her when she is put away committeth adultery. (Matthew 19:7-9) The decree of divorcement is a part of the Mitzvot, yet it has nothing to do with love of God or love of neighbor. Yahshua makes it clear that this ordinance was of Moses, not of God! God simply allowed it because Moses was His ordained minister of the law, and it was prophetic in a very real sense: It was a foreshadowing of the divorcement which was about to take place between God and Israel. Note that although Yahshua nullified the portion of Mitzvot which granted divorce, he acknowledged and upheld the commandment against adultery. The law stands, the superfluous additions to it are done away with. And the scribes and the Pharisees bring a woman taken in adultery; and having set her in the midst, they say unto him, Teacher, this woman hath been taken in adultery, in the very act. Now in the law Moses commanded us to stone such: what then sayest thou of her? And this they said, trying him, that they might have whereof to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground. But when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. (John 8:3-7) Law Upheld, Ordinances Nullified Death by stoning was required by the law of Moses, or the Mitzvot, for this woman, yet Yahshua speaks to prevent it from being carried out. Stoning a sinner has nothing to do with love of God or love of neighbor. Note that in the verses immediately following the ones above, Yahshua admonishes the same woman to go her way and sin no more. When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee? She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more. (John 8:10-11) Yahshua acknowledged that she had sinned, but he went a good deal farther than that. He also clearly indicated that having been forgiven and spared the penalty for her sin, it was still possible for her to sin again! He acknowledged the continuing validity of the law against adultery in this woman's life after she had been forgiven and spared! Is It Becoming Clearer? In this and every other instance, we see Yahshua acknowledging the law of God while either adding to or taking away from the Mitzvot and other ordinances, because those ordinances have no bearing on love of God or love of neighbor, nor do they speak of Him. Indeed, that is exactly what all of the law and the prophets are about: Yahshua! All else is superfluous. And beginning from Moses and from all the prophets, he interpreted to them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself. (Luke 24:27) The ordinances and injunctions done away with deal with specific ways to avoid transgression of the law (but how can anyone ever compile a complete list of ways to avoid every manner of transgression), rules which governed the actions and religious practices of the Levite priests (which priesthood was done away with when Yahshua became our High priest), and punishment for transgression of the law (which Yahshua took upon Himself so that we might be spared). He did away with ordinances which confounded observance of the law, ordinances which were made obsolete by a new and perfect priesthood and covenant, and ordinances which demanded punishment. Even by the very act of adding to or taking away from the Mitzvot, Yahshua violated the Mitzvot! What thing soever I command you, that shall ye observe to do: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it. (Deuteronomy 12:32) Law After Yahshua's Death and Resurrection But wait... was the law still in effect while Yahshua walked and taught on earth simply because He had not yet been executed and resurrected? Did the law go away after those events? That doesn't seem to be what the apostles believed! Please note that John and Paul wrote the following a good number of years after Yahshua's death and resurrection, and yet they acknowledge that sin exists for the believer, and according to scripture, if sin still exists, the law still exists! My little children, these things write I unto you that ye may not sin. And if any man sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: and he is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for the whole world. And hereby we know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. (1 John 2:1-3) Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. (1 John 3:4) for until the law sin was in the world; but sin is not imputed when there is no law. (Romans 5:13) If sin is transgression of the law, and sin is not imputed where there is no law, it becomes obvious that the apostles understood the law to remain in force long after Yahshua's death and resurrection! In acknowledging that it was possible for believers to sin after receiving grace, they acknowledged the continuing validity of the law with regard to believers! So Why The Ongoing Debate? Many brothers and sisters who continue to dispute the continuing validity of the law justify their earnest belief as they've been taught by men in churches. They do so through the use of certain verses which, at first glance and lacking sufficient examination, do indeed seem to teach that we are no longer subject to law. They cite verses such as the following:
For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under law, but under grace. (Romans 6:14) But what law is it that we are no longer under? Is it the law which defines sin? No, and that is made perfectly clear in verses both before and after the verse just cited, as well as elsewhere in scripture! Even so reckon ye also yourselves to be dead unto sin, but alive unto God in Christ Jesus. Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey the lusts thereof: neither present your members unto sin as instruments of unrighteousness; but present yourselves unto God, as alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God. (Romans 6:11-13) Paul makes it abundantly clear that if we indulge in the lusts of our mortal bodies, it will be the result of sin reigning in them! He describes it in terms of a choice that we must make... "let not". But wait! How can sin reign in our mortal bodies if the law is done away with, knowing that sin is not imputed where there is no law? What then? shall we sin, because we are not under law, but under grace? God forbid. (Romans 6:15) What? "Shall we sin"? But how can we sin if the law is done away with? There is no sin imputed where there is no law, so if the law is done away with, we CAN'T sin, and Paul doesn't know what he's talking about! But Paul does know what he's talking about! It's people who teach that the law is done away with who don't! It Is Accomplished. What Is "It"? In a recent discussion, a dear brother in Christ responded to many of the points I've made here by pointing out the conditional nature of the statement Yahshua made concerning the heavens and earth passing away before the law would pass away, namely the condition that this would hold true only until all be accomplished. He called to mind the words Yahshua spoke just before giving up His Spirit and succumbing on the cross: After this Jesus, knowing that all things are now finished, that the scripture might be accomplished, saith, I thirst. There was set there a vessel full of vinegar: so they put a sponge full of the vinegar upon hyssop, and brought it to his mouth. When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up his spirit. (John 19:28-30) He suggested a focus on the word "fulfilled", but instead of focusing on the word "fulfilled", let's look at another word in that verse: "all", for Yahshua says that the law will not pass away until all things are accomplished (Matthew 5:18). When Yahshua spoke the words "It is finished", where was He? On the cross, yes? Note that He said "it is finished", pertaining to a singular thing rather than "all", which pertains to a multiplicity of things. And what prompted Him to speak those words - what happened immediately before He spoke them? Let's look at those verses again: After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst. Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a sponge with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, and put it to his mouth. When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost. (John 19:28-30) Yahshua was referring to all prophecy about Him in His role as Saviour, having just provoked the action which fulfilled the one such prophecy which still had to be fulfilled before he died. He actually acted with the intention of bringing about its fulfillment when he said "I thirst", as documented in the verses above. Having been given the gall to drink, He then said "It is finished", knowing that every prophecy about Him as saviour of the world had been fulfilled, that there could no longer be any doubt as to His identity as the suffering Messiah. Having done so, Yahshua died in our place. The punishment for sin decreed by the King of creation had been carried out. The price for sin had been exacted, fulfilling YHVH's righteous decree. That is the grace we have been given! The penalty we have earned has been exacted on the Son of God, paid for us by Him without even a single one of us deserving it! Grace! What Is "All"? But although that terrible penalty had been executed upon Him, His resurrection had not yet been accomplished. That singular point is enough to prove that when He said "it is accomplished", He was not referring to Father's plan in totality. There remained, at the very least, the resurrection (and as scripture teaches us, much more than that) to be accomplished at that point. Yahshua's resurrection was also an integral part of Father's plan, but it had not been accomplished when He spoke those words while He still hung on the cross. The price was paid, but Father's plan didn't and doesn't end there. And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins. Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished. If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept. For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. (1 Corinthians 15:17-21) It was by Yahshua's death that the penalty for sin was paid, but it was by His resurrection from the dead that He defeated death and gave us this blessed hope, this knowledge that we share as believers. When Yahshua spoke the words "It is finished" while hanging on the cross, there remained much to be accomplished, and the same can be said today. But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept. For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming. Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet. The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. (1 Corinthians 15:20-26) Folks, He has not yet put down all rule and authority and power. Evil power is still exercised in this world we live in. People still die. Death is not destroyed. We could enumerate many prophecies for the time of the end which remain unfulfilled. The end has not yet come, and indeed, even the end itself is part of Father's plan, for we know that He says of Himself that He declares the end from the beginning! What Is Grace? And so we must understand that it is not the law of the Commandments given by God, but the law of punishment decreed for those sins that is done away with! Apparently, grace does not free us from the Commandments nor the behavioral constraints they place on us as the people of God; grace frees us from the penalty for transgression of that law when we fall short, as we all do! Thank you, Father in heaven, for the gift of grace you give all who believe in your only begotten and risen Son, Yahshua! Thank you for paying the price that was mine to pay! For the wages of sin is death; but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 6:23) That's what grace means! The free gift of God, something not earned! And what is that free gift? Eternal life! Not freedom from the law, but freedom from death, the penalty for transgressing it! But does having been freed from the penalty mean we are free to continue to transgress? I think you know the answer to that question, friends. Destruction Loves Company! Enter ye in by the narrow gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many are they that enter in thereby. For narrow is the gate, and straitened the way, that leadeth unto life, and few are they that find it. (Matthew 7:13-14) There are currently over two billion professed Christians living on planet earth. Friends, the gate is going to have to be very wide indeed in order to accomodate that many people! But that wide gate won't lead to life, it will lead to destruction! Those few who enter through the narrow gate, the ones who get to the gate by following the narrow path, are the ones who will find life. If you're walking in a crowd spiritually, be warned. Seek the narrow path, friends! I say in the love of Christ that most if not all of the doctrinal error which teaches that the law has no place in the life of the believer has flourished because brothers and sisters mistakenly and unknowingly put their faith in unscriptural "church" doctrine that has been taught in error rather than in the Word on which all true doctrine must be founded. This doctrine has been taught for so long and has been so widely accepted that it is considered inviolable by its adherents, and due to its pervasiveness, many simply and innocently assume that it is a doctrine unchallenged and unchallengable. This is not a criticism of the brothers, but rather is said in the hope that eyes may be opened. Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy by thy name, and by thy name cast out demons, and by thy name do many mighty works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work lawlessness. (Matthew 7:21-23) By all appearances, this doctrine of lawlessness is common in the extreme among Christian believers, and judging from the prevalence of divorce, adultery, abortion, suicide, greed and other sins among individual believers and the controversies we see brewing in many mainline Christian denominations regarding these and other things such as homosexuality the validity of other religions, it is not only becoming more prevalent, but it is also becoming more radical in its application and its implications. This is only the logical outcome of the doctrine itself. It may be a majority view, but we know that what we see the majority doing is not something that we should look to emulate! Here's one example of such a church operating in Atlanta GA... this is excerpted directly from their web site. I don't want to even risk promoting this church to someone who may be reading but isn't getting it yet, but if you need to verify, message me and I'll give you a link. Everything that comes after this is worthless, and I think you'll see why. About The Idea of Revolution To show all people the unconditional love and grace of Jesus without any reservations because of their lifestyle or religious background, past or future. Past or future? Cool! No law, no repentance, no hassles! Just a nice, wide set of church doors! Are you adulterers? No problem, get it while you can, man! Swing with it! Cha-ching! Are you practicing homosexuality? No problem, go for what you know! Cha-ching! But those wide doors are wide gates that lead to destruction, friends! They're selling those people down the river just to get them through the church doors, and they're using the doctrine of lawlessness to do it! Cha-ching! Conclusion Clearly, the apostles, when writing the books of the "New Testament", understood the law given by YHVH as remaining in force, as has been demonstrated here. In addition, we've seen that Yahshua neither said nor implied at any time that the entirety of Father's plan had been accomplished or that the law given by YHVH had been done away with, or indeed that it ever would be until heaven and earth pass away or until all be accomplished. And since YHVH is the God who declares the end from the beginning, even the end itself is included in the "all" which must be accomplished! Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me; declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not yet done; saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure; (Isaiah 46:9-10) Instead, Yahshua did away with the laws contained in the law and ordinances of men, including Moses, that were written as addendums to the law of God, yet He unswervingly observed and affirmed the laws given by God himself. It is His example we are to look to when attempting to govern our own lives. Yahshua's call is simple: Follow me. In closing, I'd like to offer a few more verses from scripture and ask one more question. I hope you'll consider very carefully: And the Holy Spirit also beareth witness to us; for after he hath said, This is the covenant that I will make with them After those days, saith the Lord: I will put my laws on their heart, And upon their mind also will I write them; then saith he, And their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more. (Hebrews 10:15-17) Brothers and sisters, I ask you: Would our Eternal Father in heaven write something in your mind and on your heart that was dead and done away with? All is all and that is it, brothers and sisters. And that's all I'm gonna say (for now). Yahshua's peace be with you all... it's all in the family! |
