hello friend. whomever 'they' are yo can be sure 'they' mean no harm. but may i say a few words before you leave.
first Yeshua is God.
He fulfilled the covenant so that all men ARE saved, whether or not they realize it. That is Grace v. Law.
God quoted his own words because those he was teaching needed to hear it. Example: when he is asked to read from Isaiah, did he read the even 'verse' as we see it in the book, no, in fact, He read only a portion of it.
quoting chapter and verse does not -i repeat- dos not make you a smart believer, it makes you a great orator. i know this because i used to quote better than most.
the entire point of my note is this: the love of God is in you, then you should be excited that others try to condemn you, insult you, harm you even try to literally kill you because of the good news.
this is what paul said, peter said, stephen did and so many other examples.
instead of complaining or lashing out, pray for them.
because many will come in His name and pretend to be godly. they will pretend to speak in multiple tongues, pretend to heal the sick, pretend to preach the good news, when they are really wolves in sheep clothing. they'll run around the church auditorium, babble like fools, scream hallelujah, fall on the floor trembling. these are not believers. these are deceivers. they have deceived themselves.
they will come to you in the last days and say Gods wrath is coming on the church, that He demands obedience.
Yet He said, if you love me, keep my commands -not keep my commands or else I'll crush you.
Are we under Grace or law?
you are a wise man if you heed the Word of the New Covenant, you will prosper and have great success. But if your heart is hard toward any man, the Lord will seal up your floodgate of Grace and the treasures He promised you now and in the Life yet hidden.
we are to judge the deeds of righteousness by faith, not the righteousness which is of the law nor the deeds of unrighteousness. for the law demands an offering, it demands obedience, it demands judgment, it demands atonement for sin.
grace does not demand, it requests.
Has he not taken ALL the sin of the world on Him, past, present, future? Indeed.
Therefore we have confidence on the day of judgment and come boldly to the throne of Grace, seeing that WE have a high priest, an Advocate who is not unlike us, yet bore our sin and shame. He alone made peace with the Father, fulfilled the law, prophets and gave all men the gift of Life.
if you are a believer, that is living in Grace, do not stray or be surprised by what others say.
For as He is, so are you in this world.
For it is written: He IS risen from the dead, taken up into heaven and sits at the right hand of the Father, given the name above all names and ALL things are beneath His feet.
..as He is, so are you in THIS world.
..the kingdom of God is WITHIN you.
you are blessed my friend. do not argue your blessing like the proselyte who still bend their knees to idols, nor sell it for food as Esau nor give it away like for the satisfaction of a harlet. But be merciful and forgive 490 times each day...
