I would never have said much about your code speak, if you had not insisted that anyone who disagreed with the way you think God's love is expressed (through condemnation and a focus on sin) was disagreeing with God Herself, and then tried to hide behind the code as if that proved you were God's spokesperson.
All I gave out was the Word. You're the one who disagrees with it, not me. You can wrestle it to suit your flesh all the day long, but it will not change a thing, it still stands. I haven't tried to "hide" behind anything. The Spirit and the Word witness each other, that's all. Peace
Not the way you test the spirits, but it certainly explains your error in trying to justify throwing out the parts you don't like. Good to know, thanks. Peace
Jesus does not have a worship system, and that is where you miss the mark. What Jesus has is a Way of life that expresses and IS community with God and man...in spirit and in truth, neither in Jerusalem nor on the mountain.
We call it "the sacramental life."
So nothing matters does it?
It doesn't matter if a person is in a different religion like Muslims or Wiccans?
As long as I say that I believe in Jesus, it doesn't matter what religion I am in does it? I think you are right in that pretty much everyone is saved, but there is still a difference and you know what that difference is?
If you decide to follow Jesus in all his appointed feast days, people are going to hate and despise you and speak against your back like you are some legalistic Judaizer or something.
When the first gentiles converted to the religion of Jesus they were so enthused to follow Jesus that they died for what feast days they kept. Saturnalia and weeping for Tammuz has always been a vehicle to oppress the people of God and if you were caught keeping the Jewish feasts, you had to pay a very heavy price for it JUST BECAUSE you wanted to follow God's ways and you rejected the ways of the world.
If I were to give in and begin keeping the ways of the world, my life would be much, much easier, but following God's ordained word will bring hate from every side and thank God that I don't have to give my life for it, but I will not just pretend to forget about all those poor innocent souls who were killed just because they wanted to continue following Christ and only Christ.
No, I would recommend that folks follow the ways of Christ because it is not easy.

Exactly. And it is good to keep in mind they literally gave up their lives for what others now shun as profane, worthless, outdated, or at least unnecessary. Thanks for that reminder, I needed that. Peace
It doesn't really make a difference to me what holy days a person keeps but what does matter is the mentality against the people who would walk as Christ walked in the feasts. You begin learning the feast days and you get so excited because you learn things that unlock secrets of the New Testament and of Jesus like the Passover pointing to Jesus all those years but when you want to tell and show somebody, they don't wanna know about so called ,'' Jewish Feasts.''
They are called Jewish feasts but they are in fact,'' The feasts of God.''
These feasts were not just for Jesus to walk in, but anyone who wanted to follow God and God promises any gentile and inheritance JUST BECAUSE they do what pleases God in keeping his set appointed Sabbaths.
If somebody would follow God and find out great truths about Jesus through learning the feasts, people don't want to hear it because of some bias against the feasts of God but the way I see it, if somebody wants to really know Jesus, then why would they shun ANY information that leads to knowing him?
If we dig in and study the Passover, people would be amazed at just how much it teaches about Christ and a person's daily walk with Christ but there are 7 other appointed days and Passover is the least of those.
Millions of sermons have been made on just the Passover but if you try and get somebody involved with helping you learn about Shemini Atzeret, they shun it, and there is no greater thing to learn than Shemini Atzeret.
I would just like people to take an interest, forget about what Holy day you actually keep, but seek Christ in all his feast days and find out how much of the New Testament and Revelation you unlock by studying the feast days.

Again, exactly! There is such joy released from revelation of the Word by the Spirit, that it's no wonder the scripture says the ZEAL of His house consumed me. It's so hard not to desire that fellowship with others in the breaking of bread and the drinking of wine, but you can't drag anyone to the wedding feast as the parable showed, only He can. Peace

Hannibal, I don't have any problem with you taking interest in such things, nor encouraging others to. Enjoy it, by all means. If you find that it helps you to experience a closer walk with God, great. I wish you all the best. I have enjoyed and appreciated many of your posts.

Well, that was nice of you.
If I am speaking, I only have one agenda and it will always be the same agenda because I will always find myself found wanting in the eyes of God, and I am always looking to cover my own sins.
I bet I have been the person who has persuaded at least 20 people to begin having respect for the commandments of God and keeping the feast days of God and I take great pride in this especially because I know it is way more than 20, but if I only could say it was one, I would cover a multitude of sins.
The difference being, whatever holy days and Sabbaths a person keeps, they mark that person, and to persuade a person into just watching and knowing their appointed times puts a protective seal and memorial between their eyes so that God says,'' This one is mine.''
Each person I have changed has changed others and all of this comes from a profound need to cover sins.
Maybe it will balance out for me.
