@@TheWriterWalker you embraced his teaching which is the beliefs and doctrines of SDA. (You like Pr. Dough and his teaching but not SDA beliefs). 👈 hypocritical NOTE:- Pr. Dough preaches what SDA beliefs and doctrines . He doesn't teach anything else.
@@mangnuraj, actually, he teaches Ellen G. White's teachings AND the Bible's doctrines. Her beliefs ARE Bible-based, yes, but she adds teachings that are not found in the biblical text, which is why SDAs must refer to her writings, along with the Bible, when they teach. I respect Pastor Doug's impressive storehouse of SDA beliefs, and his ability to clearly articulate those beliefs, even though I don't agree with the entire package. I know the Bible well enough to know when a religion has added to it or adheres to it. And I admire someone's ability to be a skillful apologist for his belief system.
all my life I have wanted to know when my sunderance test would end. Prayed for death, counting down, life probability 70+- then only "x" years to go ....now (nearly) all my perpetrators are dead. I am free, and too old to live. shame is a real thing.

This speaker has failed to grasp the promise of the master teacher promised in Jeremiah 31:34. See the passages below to understand this promise. Joh 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. 1Jn 2:27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him. The Holy Spirit is the master teacher for those who are members of the New Covenant Church by being "born again" of the Spirit of God. See the verse below to understand this process. Eph 1:13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
"Now the LORD said to Abram, "Go forth from your country, And from your relatives And from your father's house, To the land which I will show you; And I will make you a great nation, And I will bless you, And make your name great; And so you shall be a blessing; And I will bless those who bless you, And the one who curses you I will curse. And in you all the families of the earth will be blessed." Genesis 12:1-3. "In your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice." Genesis 22:18. "The promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. The scripture does not say, “and to seeds,” meaning many, but “and to your seed,” meaning One, who is Christ." Galatians 3:16. "Through him everyone who believes is set free from every sin, a justification you were not able to obtain under the law of Moses." Acts 13:38. "For the promise that Abraham would be heir of the world was not made to him and his descendants through the Law, but through the righteousness that comes by faith." Romans 5:13. "For all who rely on the works of the law are under a curse, because it is written: Everyone who does not continue doing everything written in the book of the law is cursed. Now it is clear that no one is justified before God by the law, because the righteous will live by faith." Galatians 3:10-11. "Why then was the Law given? It was added because of transgressions, until the arrival of the seed to whom the promise referred. It was administered through angels by a mediator." Galatians 3:19. "Is the Law, then, opposed to the promises of God? Not at all! For if a Law had been given that could impart life, then righteousness would certainly have come from the Law." Galatians 3:21. "Before this faith came, we were held in custody under the Law, locked up until faith should be revealed. So the Law became our schoolmaster to lead us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith. Now that faith has come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster." Galatians 3:23-25. "To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the Jews. To those under the Law I became like one under the Law (though I myself am not under the Law), to win those under the Law. To those without the Law I became like one without the Law (though I am not outside the law of God but am under the law of Christ), to win those without the Law." 1 Corinthians 9:20-21. "And He has qualified us as ministers of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life. Now if the ministry of death, which was engraved in letters on stone, came with such glory that the Israelites could not gaze at the face of Moses because of its fleeting glory, will not the ministry of the Spirit be even more glorious?" 2 Corinthians 3:6-8. "You foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was publicly portrayed [as] crucified? This is the only thing I want to find out from you: did you receive the Spirit by the works of the Law, or by hearing with faith? Are you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected by the flesh? Did you suffer so many things in vain-- if indeed it was in vain? So then, does He who provides you with the Spirit and works miracles among you, do it by the works of the Law, or by hearing with faith?" Galatians 3:1-5. "For all who rely on the works of the law are under a curse, because it is written: Everyone who does not continue doing everything written in the book of the law is cursed. Now it is clear that no one is justified before God by the law, because the righteous will live by faith." Galatians 3:10-11. "But now that you know God, or rather are known by God, how is it that you are turning back to those weak and worthless principles? Do you wish to be enslaved by them all over again? You are observing special days and months and seasons and years! I fear for you, that my efforts for you may have been in vain." Galatians 4:9-11. "The Law is only a shadow of the good things to come, not the realities themselves. It can never, by the same sacrifices offered year after year, make perfect those who draw near to worship." Hebrews 10:1.
@@Samuelson8169 "16 ALL scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness" 2 Tim 3:16 so use the WHOLE scripture! The scripture clearly expands on John 3:16. Christ himself says in Matt 7: 21- 23 “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. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!" Get that? "practice lawlessness" meaning SINNING (breaking God's moral Law, the Ten Commandments!) Christ also says "If you love me, keep my commandments" John 14:15 " He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him.” John 14:21 "He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine but the Father’s who sent Me. (verse 24) "He who says, “I know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him." 1 John 2:4. STUDY THE WHOLE OF SCRIPTURE BROTHAS AND SISTAS! GOD BLESS!
Looks like you didn't understand that there is a difference between the Moral Law of God and Moses' Law and how they apply correctly. Did you watch the same video on top!? Keep studying ma brother as we all do . . .
What is the will of the Father? It's not about competing with each other. We are all saved by grace, but if we love Jesus we will do what he wrote on tables of stone with His own finger.
A Seventh-day Adventist wouldn't understand the new covenant if Jesus came and told them himself. Oh wait, he did, it's the bible, and they still don't believe it.
God bless all. Read them in this order and see what God reveals to you. John 1:3 - Isaiah 54:5 - Exodus 19:3-9 - Jeremiah 31:31-33 - Jeremiah 3:8 - Deuteronomy 24:1-4 - Romans 7:1-6 - Matthew 26:28 - 2 Corinthians 11:2 - 1 Peter 1:7-12 - 1 Corinthians 2:8 - Revelation 12:17 - Revelation 14:12 - Revelation 19:7-10
I see so many Jews prospering in so many areas and I see so many Christians struggling in so many areas. I've been in spiritual warfare invoking my covenant with Jesus but it had no effect. I think that when you are in covenant you call and God answers. At least that is what Psalm 91 says.
haha.. right? no wonder only a handful of christians really understand the difference between the old and the new because preachers like these can't let go the old covenant. This guy does not know the difference between the old and the new. It's sad how christians are beign robbed from the truth.
SDA'S are stuck in the Old Testament . It's past time to transition to the new covenant . God created the New Testament for a reason . It's the new way we are to like by .
1 Cor 3:7 But if the ministry of death, written and engraved on stones (only the10 commandments was written on stone), was glorious, ........, which glory was passing away, 8 how will the ministry of the Spirit not be more glorious? 9 For if the ministry of condemnation had glory, the ministry of righteousness exceeds much more in glory.... 11 For if what is passing away (obsolete) was glorious, what remains is much more glorious.
The bible very clearly tell about the new covenant. It is in 2 Corinthian 3:6 to 11; " He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant -not of the letter but of the Spirit;the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life. Now if the ministry brought death which was engraved in letters on stone, came with glory, so that the Israelites could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of its glory, fading though it was, will not the ministry of the Spirit be even more glorious? Also please read Roman 7:1-6; Galatians --2:16--, 21; --3:23- 27; 5:',18; Ràm10:'; Rom 5: 20,21; 6:14,Rom9:30-32
Note what he calls a doctrine of devils what happens when there's a misinterpretation claim (buy a person who they're calling a prophet Ellen White) about a sanctuary in heaven that needed to be cleansed) when Daniel 8 was in reference to a future sanctuary in a temple described from the previous verses from the( little horn being in it) in Daniel 8 which hasn't happened yet.!!!!!
He says I will write my laws on their hearts people will not automatically throw away the law in their hearts he said you are saved by grace through faith and not by works. if God's spirit is in man he will automatically keep the law of (love because it's written on their hearts )not by works if you're appreciative of what Jesus did for you on the cross you have love and you will do his will and the spirit of God is imparted to you. otherwise it's just works.
You like many have misunderstood Adventist, we believe we are saved by grace through faith, which produces works, James makes it clear by saying Il show you my faith by my works! James 2.17-26 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?22 Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?23 And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.25 Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way?26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
I've got a few words of encouragement in the midst of what's going on. It might sound wierd, it is for real and I thought it would be important to say it. Its long because I've tried to and any faqs! Hopefully this will answer some of those nagging questions - Why can't evil be forgiven and let off, how is the whole "Jesus dying" thing really relevant to anything? To you? if you still have any questions let me know x Ever struggle? Ever doubt that God Loves You After what you've done? Ever wonder if He exists for that matter? Read this: All of us have lied, stolen (even tiny things count), spoken badly to our parents and had embarrassing and detestable thoughts in our thought life. The Bible calls this "sin", the breaking of God's laws. You might think, so what? Everyone lies and thinks bad things about others! Its human! You're right. That's exactly what the Bible says, we're "born into sin" and that "all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" - Romans 3:23 What is that "glory", morally speaking? Well, the opposite of human nature and desires. Not lying, not stealing, and having a perfect thought life is God's standard for us. But if its God's standard and we were made in "God's image", Why don't we meet it? Well, Remember Adam and Eve and when they sinned. Before sin they were perfect in thought word and DEED completely, but after the first sin occured due to Satan's tempting in the Garden, it destroyed that part of us that was morally perfect and in perfect harmony with God's morals, standard, and love. So while we kept certain things, the ability to be thinking individuals with unique personalities, the moral part (affecting how our thoughts, actions and personalities operate) was damaged. To the point where we are "opposed" to God, hence His nature and standards being the opposite of what we see as reasonable or possible. The Bible even makes it clear that "apart from God you can do nothing" - John 15:5. Without Him, it will 100% feel "opposite", unreasonable and alien to us. Only WITH Him can we gain victory in these things. Why doesn't God just let sin off and leave it? The Bible describes God as a "righteous judge", many wonder why God doesn't just let sin off and leave it, but He can't. Why? That's like a if a judge let off a murderer who broke the state law. Everyone would attack that judge and call Him corrupt, saying that he had not done right and should be fired for failing to punish the murderer for his evil. AND to completely love and be good as God is, means you need to, in turn, hate all forms of evil. You can't truly love good unless you hate the existence of evil. This means that God needed, as a righteous judge to punish sin with the ultimate penalty of death - expressing His hatred of evil - and separation from His presence forever. Hence Hell. "The soul that sins shall die (in Hell and suffer damnation)" - Ezekiel 18:20 But God, who is also love, did not want to see His creation tortured and cut off from Him. He cares so much for is that He couldn't bear to see us fall into Satans hands and suffer death, even though we broke the law and deserve to bear the guilt, pain and be cut off from perfection forever through damnation. Because of justice, God could not leave sin and evil unpunished, BUT because of LOVE, God provided someone else to take that punishment on our behalf, satisfying both justice (by punishing the evil committed), and love (by sparing OUR lives) despite our sin. God sent His own SON - think about that. His *Son*, the one whom He loved infinitely (the same way He loves us). God allowed Him to take the pain we deserved, He took ALL of Gods wrath for every single sin you and I have committed. He was punished brutally and completely as if He was the picture of mankind's sin itself so that we do not have to be punished. Back in the courtroom scenario: He paid the "fine" at His own expense (His life had to be morally perfect on this Earth, then He had to be killed as a sinless sacrifice on our behalf). So when He returns to remove all evil from the face of the Earth, we can be spared and free because Christ has already BEEN punished on our behalf. He then rose again on the third day, conquering not only life and sin and temptation, but DEATH. "I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live (immortally and eternally in Heaven when I return)" - John 11:25-26 ALL we have to do is accept it by faith. Faith alone in Christ alone. Religion = rules to be saved The gospel = Christ saved us already we just have to believe it by faith. If you lack faith (as I did before), pray. He will make it strong it time. Trust Him as you would trust those close to you. He knows you even better than that. He created you and knows you inside out. ...WHAT HAPPENS NEXT? What does it actually mean for us? It means we can be completely free from the penalty of damnation. Not only that but we can be restored to Him and recreated into His moral image AGAIN as long as we accept Jesus having paid the price for us and accept Him as our Lord, the one who is in the front seat of our lives. He has a plan for your life, He's created you for a purpose. Just remember that. A purpose that includes being recreated into His image, one you can only accomplish through Him and reliance on His power and by following HIS way of life. What is this new way entail? It entails love, true love and service and aid to others, to "love God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength" and "love your neighbour as you love yourself" Matthew 22:37, 39. Sharing the message of Christ's death, resurrection and soon return on this Earth to give justice OR mercy depending on what the person chose. Sound "opposite" again? God knows it sounds opposite, which is why, as The Bible states, this is NOT something we can do alone. It's not in our nature. We need a new nature in the front seat, and the first step is to repent (turn from and reject our sin, pursuing the opposite direction and drawing close to God) Christ will give us an actual DESIRE to do these things. Through the, Holy Spirit, sent by Him to us after the ascension. He speaks to us through thoughts, verses, ideas and prayers and guides us so that we gain a desire to follow God and be able to do these "opposite" things through Him. ... What is the way FOR though? Firstly its to save you from sin - the only way to gain victory over sin and not have it as your master is through having Christ as your master and following His aid to resist the devil's temptations. Christ lived down here for 33 years suffering EVERY FORM of temptation that you have ever faced - "who in every respect [has] been tempted as we are, yet without sin" Hebrews 4:15. Therefore He is able to help us through our struggles. When the devil knows people have left his camp, he always tries harder with more temptations and evil attacks. BUT - His way is also there to guard and teach you daily in the midst of this (and despite this) sinful, selfish world. The path He wants you to walk is one of committment and love - its not about rules and regulations to save us - what Christ did GAVE us salvation. All we need is faith. The rest, the "fruits of good works (the will to obey and follow Him)", are what come through true, maturing faith. It's all about faith and the relationship God wants with you just like before sin arrived. God preferred His own Son to be tortured And *killed* to give a chance to us (who broke His law of perfection) so that we can live as His children again. He wants us to love and trust and worship Him. What if I still find myself sinning after I have accepted Christ? That's why Christ died, For our sin. His death doesn't fix us in a snap like that, but it does protect us from the damnation that our past, present and future sins would bring without Jesus. It's a process - a lifelong process - of God bringing you back to Him, away from the destructive pleasures of sin (greed, selfish temptations, trampling on people to gain). This takes a *lifetime*, as it does for all, but NEVER give up, when you fall, know Christ paid for that sin you committed already - just acknowledge your sin and ask for forgiveness - and you can get back up again because He already bore your guilt and shame. Regardless of the darkness you are in or the extent or frequency of the sins you have committed or will commit, regardless of how doubtful you may feel, know that Jesus UNDERSTANDS completely and He is faithful. "those who come to Me, I will by no means cast out" - John 6:37 ...HOW DO I LEARN MORE? Don't know where to start? Note down the Gospel of "John", or "Luke" (if you want a more detailed account of it all). Remember that He will "NEVER - and that means never - leave you, NOR forsake you" - Deuteronomy 31:6 Regardless of what goes on down here, God knows, Jesus has been down here and felt all the emotions you are feeling. You can go to Him with them and be assured that He loves you and is for you. Even in the storm, God is still there, walking on the water alongside you. Keep your heart open to Him and remember that if we pray for Christ to enter our lives, He will. "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only begotten Son, that whomever believes in Him, shall not perish, but have everlasting life". - John 3:16 Thanks for reading if you did. I just felt that I should tell you regardless. Let me know if you have any more or if you need clarification on anything xx
The purpose of the law was to show us we were sinners in need of a savior until the seed should come the seed which is Christ has come we are no longer under the law set free by grace anybody that doesn't know what it means to be set free this guy's teachings could be dangerous Hes mixing the bond woman bondage with the free woman grace
What percentage of a man's salvation comes from Christ's sacrifice at Calvary, and what percentage comes from a man properly keeping the Old Covenant Sabbath? Answer this question honestly, and you will understand the New Covenant "now" in effect in Hebrews 8:6-13. We are not come to Mount Sinai in Hebrews 12:18, but are come instead to the New Covenant of Mount Sion in Hebrews 12:22-24. This is the truth of the Gospel of the New Covenant, which was fulfilled by His blood at Calvary.
All these different churches want to separate themselves from the flock by keeping this law or that wall or sabbath day keeping Jesus is the Lord of the sabbath he is now our sabbath rest we rest daily in him 7 days a week we know the sabbath was Saturday but the new covenant sabbath is Jesus resting in his finished work
At pentecost the The first church out of love brought all possessions to the feet of the apostles for the needs of the poor. Tithing has blessed my life. How can I ever pay the lord for what He has done for me.10 cents on the dollar is not too much for the blessings He has given me.peace
God bless you all. Jesus came 2000 years ago and established the new covenant as prophesied in Jeremiah 31:31. He established it on the Passover, putting the promise of the new covenant [forgiveness of sins] on the Passover bread and wine symbolizing His flesh and blood. No wonder Jesus said that '..unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood you have no life in you, whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life'. The old covenant Passover commemorated God's peoples [physical Jews] freedom from physical slavery. This was a shadow of the promise of the new covenant Passover. Now we receive spiritual freedom from the slavery of sin and death, hence the promise of eternal life and forgiveness of sins through the new covenant Passover. The early church kept the new covenant Passover, however this life giving truth was abolished by the little horn [Roman Catholic Church] as prophesied in Daniel 7:25. Pagan customs were introduced onto the church. The 2nd coming Christ is to come and restore the lost Passover, the hidden manna in these last days. The Reformation has past and now the final perfect restoration of the truth has come. Now all peoples are streaming to Mount Zion to learn the ways of the Lord as prophesied in Micah 4:1-2. The 2nd coming Christ has come and has restored Zion, the city of God's Festivals [of the new covenant]. Praise God.
If the law could be done away with, Christ needed not to die on the cross. The law stands. Christ give power to obey it. You have to read the whole text: For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth. Christ is the end of the law FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS. To whom? To every one that BELIEVETH. Paul is talking about those "going about to establish their own righteousness" by keeping the law without Christ. The text does not say, Christ abolished the law.
You're taking that way out of context. It says "for Christ IS the end of the law". Meaning you have to believe Christ died for your sins and accept Him as Lord and savior over your life. Remember the law is "perfect".
@@valibucuresti Christ is the end of the law meaning he is the goal or our example. Like the end zone. It doesn't mean end as in abolish or do away with.
If this guy likes the New Covenant so much, why is he trying to live under the Law? Seventh Day Adventism misses the point completely. We don't need to observe the Sabbath Day any longer, because Christ is our Sabbath-rest. "One person regards a certain day above the others, while someone else considers every day alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind. He who observes a special day does so to the Lord; he who eats does so to the Lord, for he gives thanks to God; and he who abstains does so to the Lord and gives thanks to God." -Romans 14:5-6 "Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day." -Colossians 2:16 "For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken later about another day. There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; for anyone who enters God’s rest also rests from their works, just as God did from his. Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will perish by following their example of disobedience." -Hebrews 4:8-11 Did not the Jews have the Sabbath? Then why did they not have rest? Because the true Sabbath-rest is only found in Christ. This rest is entered through faith, and it is total and complete and final. Jesus did it all and credits it to us.
You need to be very careful quoting Paul(2Peter3:15-16).Even though Paul's was under Christ law & his objective was to to do what hé was called for which is to win the gentile converts, He still acknowledge God's law or 10 commandments (1 Cor 9:21,Romans7:12).
@@ministerg1258 Do you believe that I misquoted Paul? If I improperly exegeted those passages, please explain how they should be understood. My advice to you is that you should not ignore Paul. In Ephesians 3:7-12 he said: "Of this gospel I was made a minister according to the gift of God's grace, which was given me by the working of his power. To me, though I am the very least of all the saints, this grace was given, to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ, and to bring to light for everyone what is the plan of the mystery hidden for ages in God, who created all things, so that through the church the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly places. This was according to the eternal purpose that he has realized in Christ Jesus our Lord, in whom we have boldness and access with confidence through our faith in him." Paul taught that Love was the fulfillment of the Law (Romans 13:8-10). The difference between Law and Love is that Law required US to obey perfectly in order to receive life, whereas Love is GOD's free gift to us. That free gift manifests itself in us so that we live a changed life which begins to fulfill those 10 Commandments and even goes beyond them.
@@Exodus--jn5xk oh I see that's your handle! I didn't get that that !((lets me know where you're at ))((in your head)) that explains the first comment!! if I would have caught that I probably wouldn't have bothered answering you.!
@@Exodus--jn5xk I think the Pharisees sewed blue fringes on the bottoms of their skirts. The wider the hem the greater they appeared amongst their peers.. to let people know how righteous they were .(and they did appear to keep the law as they understood it.). Matthew 23:5
Tzittzit’s are a command of God to be a reminder to keep His commands Num 15, however the Pharisees made theirs long and showy to appear more holy outwardly. The tzittzit’s (command) is good, but how it was misused is bad. Pharisees were rebuked because they NEGLECTED HIS COMMANDS and preferred traditions of men Mark 7. I’m not saying you, but many have always believed the Pharisees kept the law perfectly when in actuality they did not at all. They added to it or took from it, with the intent to appear more righteous while their heart was far from God. This is always what Jesus is rebuking them for! Jesus kept the law perfect AS GOD INTENDED, wore Tzittzit’s, honored the feasts commanded “forever”, as did Paul and all the others. The Gentile’s even did as Jesus modeled until anti-Semitic Rome, Constantine came in and declared themselves above God’s word. A believer(hearer & doer) must ask, if the desire to honor God’s Law isn’t on their heart BECAUSE they are saved than are they really walking in the way of God and the New Covenant? Jer 31, HEB 10 His commands aren’t burdensome, Scripture says. Psalm 119 is another. A quote I felt conviction on is “Holiness is always oppressive to sinners”. When people loathe the idea of God’s Law, it’s because they desire the flesh more than spirit, maybe unknowingly. They are in opposition to each other. Also, because the abuse of grace abounds in the Christian community.
Does anyone know why the Ark of the Covenant is not in peoples hands..Yet! God protects his Laws forever! but be assured when Jesus returns they will be revealed as proof that the LAWS of God Never Change!..and All are subject to them, Gentiles, Jews, Black ,White Green or Red.
Yes. Because it is now "obsolete", based on Hebrews 8:13. Christians are now the ark of the New Covenant, by being indwelled with the Holy Spirit. The Sinai covenant is the 10 commandments. (Exodus 34:28) The 603 other ordinances were designed to further explain how the 10 commandments were to be observed. In Acts chapter 15 the Mosaic law is called a "yoke". In Galatians chapter 4 the Apostle Paul compares the Sinai covenant to bondage and compels the Galatian church to "cast out" the Sinai covenant of bondage. In Galatians chapter 3 we find that the Sinai covenant was "added" 430 years "after" the Promise to Abraham, "until" the Seed could come. Not one jot of tittle would pass from the law "until" it was all fulfilled on a wooden Cross, with the words... "It is finished." The Old covenant is now "obsolete". Hebrews 8:13. The veil in the temple was ripped in half, signaling the end of the sacrifices, the Levitical priesthood, and the whole Old covenant system. 2Co 3:3 Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart.
No, I'm under the blood of Jesus Christ, my Lord and my Savior. He was and is the only one who could be sinless under the Law. Once glorified, we will all be perfect and Holy. The laws are written in are hearts and minds. No one is saying not under the Law, time to go out sin as much as possible! We are under God's Grace! I don't take it lightly when the Father sends His only Son to suffer and die for us who are unworthy. He took on God's wrath. Jesus conquered! As Adam gave us our sin nature, Jesus gives us a new spirit. A free gift...the gift of salvation! Focus on Jesus. Listen to the Holy Spirit!

It says if we are led by the spirit we are no longer under the law, IF No longer under the law means we are under the law,then I confess you are right,but if no longer under the law,means we are no longer under the law, then you are wrong and I am right we are no longer under the law. I know you will say when Paul says law he means old jewish traditions,really! because the bible says and this is Paul talking Jesus was born under the law to redeem us from the law,so is that what Jesus was born under ?Jewish Traditions, if it was he did not keep them very well,remember what he said about the hand washing.
I can see a desire of the pastor to commingle law and grace. Show me a Bible verse that says “now that you’re saved, you are enabled to obey the law” absolutely not. The law will always minister death to us, before salvation and after salvation….it will always be there to show us we CANT do it, so if you try it, it will keep telling you are fail. UNLESS YOU PRETEND TO OBEY LIKE THE PHARISES DID. Paul clearly states that Law has no place in the life of a saved person, the law did its job and it’s no longer in charge, Jesus is now in charge. If you are under the Law sin is your master. Folks don’t be fooled. The law that Jesus nailed to the cross is the 10 commandments. Please read Roman’s. Paul clearly states “do not covet” killed him, that’s the 10 commands, NOT THE ORDINANCES LIKE THE PASTOR SAID.
Who pours new wine into an old wineskin? 613. The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. Apostle Paul bends over backward to establish the understanding of law/grace covenants, Love "is" the fulfillment of the law.Yes the law is perfect holy and good, but the ministation of death could not bring life. Even today when Moses is read, a veil lies over their heart. You have fallen from grace, you who seek to be justified by the law, You are void of Christ. "Therefore by the works of the law, no flesh shall be justified in His sight, for by the law comes the knowledge of sin." Keep searching the Scripture, perhaps even ask the Father to reveal to the eyes of your understanding, the new covenant, wich He swore by Himself.
Ceremonial law? Scripture makes no such distinction. New Covenant is the same Law, but put in our hearts and giving Holy Spirit to give us the "desire and want to" obey. Not one jot or tittle shall pass from the law til there is a new heaven and earth. So no such thing as " ceremonial law" passed away. Also, stone and paper is irrelevant. That point is not the handwriting against us. Makes no sense.
Of course the scripture make the distinction between the different laws. The Law of God existed before sin came into the world. The system of ceremonial sacrifices came after sin and as result of the sin. Before sin, Adam obeyed the Law of God. It was written in his heart. After sin it was required of him to offer ceremonial sacrifices pointing to Jesus as the true sacrifice for sin. The ceremonial law pointed to Jesus. After Jesus died on the cross, ceremonial sacrifices were no longer needed. This is plainly taught in the scripture.
@Max the verse you are talking about is not talking about God's law. Why would God's law which is perfect and which Jesus promises to not pass away until Heaven and Earth pass away be what you think was nailed to the cross? It was the condemnation of death from the law of sin and death that was nailed to the tree. Not the law itself. You were taught incorrectly. Yahweh's Sabbaths and feast days and holy days point to the future kingdom and we should be keeping them as He commanded. Instead you celebrate pagan days Dec 25th and Easter, etc. Sun god worship. You should be keeping the commandments of Yah. Read rev 14 :12
@@valibucuresti not true. There will still be sacrifices during the millennial reign on earth. The temple is rebuilt...etc. We don't sacrifice because there is no temple. Paul still did sacrifice and kept whole law after Christ ascended.
@Max Revelation 14:12 King James Version (KJV) 12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
Why is Matthew 5:17-18 misunderstood? He came to fulfill. Did He? yes. John 19:28-30. Jesus said it would not pass until it be fulfilled and He did just that. He didn't destroy, but had perfect obedience to it, living under it. Hebrews 8:13. It is no longer binding. Love God and your neighbors. Colossians 2:16. Keep it if you like!
The reason it is misunderstood is that most legalists like to point out that heaven and earth must also pass away. I have done a lot of research into this and have learned this: In order to understand what Christ is referring to (Heaven and earth passing) we must have good knowledge of how the Jews thought and talked back in their time. Heaven and earth is used as a symbol for Israel many times in the Old Testament: In Deuteronomy 32:1, in the song of Moses, God is talking to Israel when He says: "Give ear, 0 ye heavens, and I will speak; and hear, 0 earth, the words of my mouth" In the song of Moses, God is depicting the fate of Israel when He says: "For a fire is kindled in mine anger, and shall burn unto the lowest hell, and shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire the foundations of the mountains" (vs. 22).Is God here talking about burning up the earth? No, he is talking about bringing judgment upon Israel. In Isaiah 51:13 God said that He had "stretched forth the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth" Once again, is God speaking here of the literal heavens and earth?Read on in this same passage to verse 16: "And I have put my words in thy mouth, and I have covered thee in the shadow of mine hand, that I may plant the heavens, and lay the foundations of the earth, and say unto Zion, Thou art my people."Read that verse again. It could not be talking of the formation of the literal heavens and earth, for that had taken place more than 3,000 years before! So, then, what is He talking about? The verse explains itself. He is talking about "Zion." look at the very first chapter of Isaiah, in which God begins to give predictions of coming invasions and captivities of His people; and in Isaiah 1:2 He said:"Hear, 0 heavens, and give ear, 0 earth: for the LORD hath spoken, and I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me."To whom is He speaking when He addresses, “O heavens" and "0 earth"? He is talking to Israel. In Jeremiah 22:29 God says, "0 earth, earth, earth, hear the word of the Lord." And in verse 1 (along with verses 11, 18 and 24) we read that the words were for the people of Judah, concerning the time when they would be taken "into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of the Chaldeans" (vs. 25). It was not the whole physical earth God was talking to, but the people. If the dissolving of heaven and earth were to be taken literally in all the passages of the Old Testament where such language is used, it would necessarily mean that the heavens and earth were to be destroyed numerous times! The language has to be figurative. Now look at Matthew 24:1-2 where the disciples ask Jesus about the buildings and temple; and Jesus reply is, not one stone shall be left on top of another (THIS HAPPENED IN 70 A.D.) Now go to verse 34 where Jesus says, this generation will not pass away until these things happen (Which they literally did witness in 70 A.D.) Now read verse 35: Jesus says, "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away." As one can see by this study that heaven and earth is Israel which did pass away. Otherwise Jesus would have been lying when He also said this: Luke 12:49 "I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled?" Jesus Judged Israel for rejecting him and allowed Rome to destroy Israel and the temple. So yes, heaven and earth (Israel) did pass away.
Jesus fulfilled the prophecies concerning Himself. The Old Testament was called The Law and The Prophets. Both foretold His coming. Fulfilling The Law has a broader application. He wasn't focusing on the Ten Commandments. That's not all there is to what people thought of as The Law back then.
Axe at the root You said Heaven and earth is/was used as a symbol for israel in the old testerment? and by this proclamation you proclaim to us that the law has now passed away with Israel so by understanding what you are saying leaves us with one option we are free to sin so grace may abound?? But Paul said by no means let us be dead to sin According to scripture the deffinition of sin is not following the Law as it is told to us in scripture time & time again. So if you are going to proclaim such iniquities give us the chapter & verse to prove it, if you going to insert something like this then you need to back it up with scripture & show it when it is used in context to what you are proclaiming otherwise it is lies Why does God speak to the Heavens and the Earth? 2 Cor 13:1 in the mouth of 2 or 3 witnesses shall words be established Did you consider that God may be speaking to the heavens and the earth because those are His 2 witnesses. The principalities reside in the Heavens (1st witness) The Prophets reside in the earth (2nd witness) God reveals His Word, His Law/Torah through His servants the prophets. What Word? His Law Who was the Word? John 1:1 In the beginning was the WORD & the WORD was with God & the WORD was/is God The Law regarding Greco-Roman mind set & philosophy means oppression, slavery The Law according to Hebrew mind set and philosophy Means instruction in Righteousness. The way to walk upright to receive the the blessings of YAWH read psalm 119 the longest chapter in the bible then tell me what a legalist is....
This is the doctrine of devils, that sin is fine, that the lawless one will be revealed. Get saved to be Holy, you are not saved from Holiness, but to be Holy for He is Holy!
Nothing New in the “New Testament” its the same covenant, Renewed Covenant. And its only for the house of Yisrael and those that Join themselves to Yisrael by the blood of Yeshua.
If we don't believe ALL of the law was nailed to the cross, then we are saying that Jesus did not completely fulfill the law at the cross. We're essentially keeping ourselves under the Old Covenant. You say those who believe in the New Covenant teaching that we are no longer under the law but under grace are following the doctrines of devils. Wow! Woe to them who call good evil and evil good. Be careful, lest you condemn the plan of salvation God has delivered to us through His Son.
Mr. Batchelor, ever read 2 Corinthians 3:7? Are the 10 Commandments against us you ask. Being the ministration of death...I would say yes. Galatians 3:10-13, 23-25 speaks of the Law, the Torah. Clearly we are not under it, but dead to it. Even Jews do not believe the commandments are binding for the gentiles, only the Noahic commandments. God wrote the Ten commandments for Israel. Ephesians 2:11-18. Just rest in the completed work of Jesus Christ. Do the will of the Father...believe in His Son. I hear Jesus taught the law. Jesus was under the law. That's the whole idea. Don't read Matthew the Sermon on the Mount and the Lord's prayer and obey. This is before the cross.
Keep on Breaking the Commandments my Friend!....I am here to tell you there is not much time left.....Jesus is coming soon!...go down on your knees and repent to God....then start changing your life before its too late.
I break them more than you??? Are you keeping all 613 laws? I keep 2 commandments given by Jesus and the Holy Spirit is sanctifying me. If you have a new spirit in Christ, you hate sin. I have repented and come to Christ. Love God and follow the Royal Law/ Commandment. It is only possible with faith and love in Jesus.
Sorry for the Late reply, the 613 Laws are not the Ten Commandments! The SDA specifically talks about the Ten Commandments which are written in stone with the finger of God.
***** I have repented, turned from my sinful ways and turned to Jesus. He alone saves, by His finished work, sinless under the Old Covenant, which the Ten Commandments were a part of. To enter the Kingdom, must be reborn. Die to the spiritual nature of Adam and resurrected to the spirit of Christ, sins no longer remembered. Only the nation of Israel (the nation brought out of Egypt) entered into the Covenant with God on Mt Sinai. I live in America. Exodus 19; 20:2 Deuteronomy 11:26-28 A New and better Covenant has been made between God and Jesus. Originally given to the house of Israel and Judah, yet Jesus gave to the nations, the Gentiles. The Church is now the peculiar people. 1 Peter 2:9-10 Israel was to be a light to the nation's. The Gentile Church is now to bring Israel back by jealousy. Romans 10:19 - 11:11
Thanks Romans, In other words you are going by the Ten Commandments as these resemble the character of God. The 2 commandments that you mention hang from the Ten. I am sure you do not have no other gods but the lord, No graven images or likenesses. Not take the LORD's name in vain. Remember the Sabbath day. Honor thy father and thy mother.Thou shalt not kill.Thou shalt not commit adultery etc etc.That is what the SDA are saying! Keep prepared! and watch for a sign from the Lord this September, the 7 seals have been open! I have been given these messages personally from the Lord Yehoshua.
His method of teaching is so clear and certain that I listen to him even though I don't embrace SDA beliefs.

@@mangnuraj, actually, he teaches Ellen G. White's teachings AND the Bible's doctrines. Her beliefs ARE Bible-based, yes, but she adds teachings that are not found in the biblical text, which is why SDAs must refer to her writings, along with the Bible, when they teach. I respect Pastor Doug's impressive storehouse of SDA beliefs, and his ability to clearly articulate those beliefs, even though I don't agree with the entire package. I know the Bible well enough to know when a religion has added to it or adheres to it. And I admire someone's ability to be a skillful apologist for his belief system.

This speaker has failed to grasp the promise of the master teacher promised in Jeremiah 31:34. See the passages below to understand this promise.
Joh 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
1Jn 2:27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.
The Holy Spirit is the master teacher for those who are members of the New Covenant Church by being "born again" of the Spirit of God. See the verse below to understand this process.

@@Samuelson8169 "16 ALL scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness" 2 Tim 3:16 so use the WHOLE scripture!

Christ himself says in Matt 7: 21- 23 “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. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

I talk to Doug Batchler over the phone. Nice guy. Good pastor.
What is the will of the Father? It's not about competing with each other. We are all saved by grace, but if we love Jesus we will do what he wrote on tables of stone with His own finger.
Jesus is not God
Well said🖒
I was nailed to the cross I died to the law.Rom 7:4
A Seventh-day Adventist wouldn't understand the new covenant if Jesus came and told them himself. Oh wait, he did, it's the bible, and they still don't believe it.
What do you mean?He's explaining it in context for all to understand.
God bless all. Read them in this order and see what God reveals to you.
John 1:3 - Isaiah 54:5 - Exodus 19:3-9 - Jeremiah 31:31-33 - Jeremiah 3:8 - Deuteronomy 24:1-4 - Romans 7:1-6 - Matthew 26:28 - 2 Corinthians 11:2 - 1 Peter 1:7-12 - 1 Corinthians 2:8 - Revelation 12:17 - Revelation 14:12 - Revelation 19:7-10
Did not the book of the law also contain the ten commandments?
The new covenant did not go into effect until the death of Christ!
This Guy needs the Baptism of the Holy Ghost! He acts like he knows the Bible and he doesn’t know what he doesn’t know and the Holy Spirit is for us!
Perfect Teching. Im not down with the horns he plays with his hands but good breakdown
I see so many Jews prospering in so many areas and I see so many Christians struggling in so many areas. I've been in spiritual warfare invoking my covenant with Jesus but it had no effect. I think that when you are in covenant you call and God answers. At least that is what Psalm 91 says.
Anybody wants to learn about the new covenant listen to Bob George instead of Doug bachelor
haha.. right? no wonder only a handful of christians really understand the difference between the old and the new because preachers like these can't let go the old covenant. This guy does not know the difference between the old and the new. It's sad how christians are beign robbed from the truth.
SDA'S are stuck in the Old Testament . It's past time to transition to the new covenant . God created the New Testament for a reason . It's the new way we are to like by .
Are you sure the ordinances are not the sins committed?
1 Cor 3:7 But if the ministry of death, written and engraved on stones (only the10 commandments was written on stone), was glorious, ........, which glory was passing away, 8 how will the ministry of the Spirit not be more glorious? 9 For if the ministry of condemnation had glory, the ministry of righteousness exceeds much more in glory.... 11 For if what is passing away (obsolete) was glorious, what remains is much more glorious.
Christ is the end of the law to those who believe.
The bible very clearly tell about the new covenant. It is in 2 Corinthian 3:6 to 11; " He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant -not of the letter but of the Spirit;the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life. Now if the ministry brought death which was engraved in letters on stone, came with glory, so that the Israelites could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of its glory, fading though it was, will not the ministry of the Spirit be even more glorious? Also please read Roman 7:1-6; Galatians --2:16--, 21; --3:23- 27; 5:',18; Ràm10:'; Rom 5: 20,21; 6:14,Rom9:30-32
If we shouldn’t keep fear why did Paul keep the feast?
Note what he calls a doctrine of devils what happens when there's a misinterpretation claim (buy a person who they're calling a prophet Ellen White) about a sanctuary in heaven that needed to be cleansed) when Daniel 8 was in reference to a future sanctuary in a temple described from the previous verses from the( little horn being in it) in Daniel 8 which hasn't happened yet.!!!!!
He says I will write my laws on their hearts people will not automatically throw away the law in their hearts he said you are saved by grace through faith and not by works. if God's spirit is in man he will automatically keep the law of (love because it's written on their hearts )not by works if you're appreciative of what Jesus did for you on the cross you have love and you will do his will and the spirit of God is imparted to you. otherwise it's just works.
You like many have misunderstood Adventist, we believe we are saved by grace through faith, which produces works, James makes it clear by saying Il show you my faith by my works!
James 2.17-26
Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?22 Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?23 And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.25 Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way?26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
I've got a few words of encouragement in the midst of what's going on. It might sound wierd, it is for real and I thought it would be important to say it.
Its long because I've tried to and any faqs!
Hopefully this will answer some of those nagging questions -
Why can't evil be forgiven and let off, how is the whole "Jesus dying" thing really relevant to anything? To you? if you still have any questions let me know x
Ever struggle? Ever doubt that God Loves You After what you've done? Ever wonder if He exists for that matter? Read this:
All of us have lied, stolen (even tiny things count), spoken badly to our parents and had embarrassing and detestable thoughts in our thought life. The Bible calls this "sin", the breaking of God's laws. You might think, so what? Everyone lies and thinks bad things about others! Its human!
You're right. That's exactly what the Bible says, we're "born into sin" and that "all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" - Romans 3:23
What is that "glory", morally speaking?
Well, the opposite of human nature and desires.
Not lying, not stealing, and having a perfect thought life is God's standard for us.
But if its God's standard and we were made in "God's image", Why don't we meet it?
Well, Remember Adam and Eve and when they sinned. Before sin they were perfect in thought word and DEED completely, but after the first sin occured due to Satan's tempting in the Garden, it destroyed that part of us that was morally perfect and in perfect harmony with God's morals, standard, and love. So while we kept certain things, the ability to be thinking individuals with unique personalities, the moral part (affecting how our thoughts, actions and personalities operate) was damaged. To the point where we are "opposed" to God, hence His nature and standards being the opposite of what we see as reasonable or possible. The Bible even makes it clear that "apart from God you can do nothing" - John 15:5. Without Him, it will 100% feel "opposite", unreasonable and alien to us. Only WITH Him can we gain victory in these things.
Why doesn't God just let sin off and leave it?
The Bible describes God as a "righteous judge", many wonder why God doesn't just let sin off and leave it, but He can't. Why? That's like a if a judge let off a
murderer who broke the state law. Everyone would attack that judge and call Him corrupt, saying that he had not done right and should be fired for failing to punish the murderer for his evil. AND to completely love and be good as God is, means you need to, in turn, hate all forms of evil. You can't truly love good unless you hate the existence of evil.
This means that God needed, as a righteous judge to punish sin with the ultimate penalty of death - expressing His hatred of evil - and separation from His presence forever. Hence Hell.
"The soul that sins shall die (in Hell and suffer damnation)" - Ezekiel 18:20
But God, who is also love, did not want to see His creation tortured and cut off from Him. He cares so much for is that He couldn't bear to see us fall into Satans hands and suffer death, even though we broke the law and deserve to bear the guilt, pain and be cut off from perfection forever through damnation.
Because of justice, God could not leave sin and evil unpunished, BUT because of LOVE, God provided someone else to take that punishment on our behalf, satisfying both justice (by punishing the evil committed), and love (by sparing OUR lives) despite our sin.
God sent His own SON - think about that. His *Son*, the one whom He loved infinitely (the same way He loves us).
God allowed Him to take the pain we deserved, He took ALL of Gods wrath for every single sin you and I have committed. He was punished brutally and completely as if He was the picture of mankind's sin itself so that we do not have to be punished.
Back in the courtroom scenario: He paid the "fine" at His own expense (His life had to be morally perfect on this Earth, then He had to be killed as a sinless sacrifice on our behalf).
So when He returns to remove all evil from the face of the Earth, we can be spared and free because Christ has already BEEN punished on our behalf. He then rose again on the third day, conquering not only life and sin and temptation, but DEATH.
"I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live (immortally and eternally in Heaven when I return)" - John 11:25-26
ALL we have to do is accept it by faith. Faith alone in Christ alone.
Religion = rules to be saved
The gospel = Christ saved us already we just have to believe it by faith. If you lack faith (as I did before), pray. He will make it strong it time. Trust Him as you would trust those close to you. He knows you even better than that. He created you and knows you inside out.
...WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?
What does it actually mean for us?
It means we can be completely free from the penalty of damnation.
Not only that but we can be restored to Him and recreated into His moral image AGAIN as long as we accept Jesus having paid the price for us and accept Him as our Lord, the one who is in the front seat of our lives. He has a plan for your life, He's created you for a purpose. Just remember that. A purpose that includes being recreated into His image, one you can only accomplish through Him and reliance on His power and by following HIS way of life.
What is this new way entail?
It entails love, true love and service and aid to others, to "love God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength" and "love your neighbour as you love yourself" Matthew 22:37, 39.
Sharing the message of Christ's death, resurrection and soon return on this Earth to give justice OR mercy depending on what the person chose.
Sound "opposite" again?
God knows it sounds opposite, which is why, as The Bible states, this is NOT something we can do alone. It's not in our nature.
We need a new nature in the front seat, and the first step is to repent (turn from and reject our sin, pursuing the opposite direction and drawing close to God)
Christ will give us an actual DESIRE to do these things. Through the, Holy Spirit, sent by Him to us after the ascension. He speaks to us through thoughts, verses, ideas and prayers and guides us so that we gain a desire to follow God and be able to do these "opposite" things through Him.
...
What is the way FOR though?
Firstly its to save you from sin - the only way to gain victory over sin and not have it as your master is through having Christ as your master and following His aid to resist the devil's temptations.
Christ lived down here for 33 years suffering EVERY FORM of temptation that you have ever faced - "who in every respect [has] been tempted as we are, yet without sin" Hebrews 4:15.
Therefore He is able to help us through our struggles. When the devil knows people have left his camp, he always tries harder with more temptations and evil attacks. BUT - His way is also there to guard and teach you daily in the midst of this (and despite this) sinful, selfish world.
The path He wants you to walk is one of committment and love - its not about rules and regulations to save us - what Christ did GAVE us salvation. All we need is faith. The rest, the "fruits of good works (the will to obey and follow Him)", are what come through true, maturing faith. It's all about faith and the relationship God wants with you just like before sin arrived.
God preferred His own Son to be tortured And *killed* to give a chance to us (who broke His law of perfection) so that we can live as His children again. He wants us to love and trust and worship Him.
What if I still find myself sinning after I have accepted Christ?
That's why Christ died, For our sin. His death doesn't fix us in a snap like that, but it does protect us from the damnation that our past, present and future sins would bring without Jesus.
It's a process - a lifelong process - of God bringing you back to Him, away from the destructive pleasures of sin (greed, selfish temptations, trampling on people to gain). This takes a *lifetime*, as it does for all, but NEVER give up, when you fall, know Christ paid for that sin you committed already - just acknowledge your sin and ask for forgiveness - and you can get back up again because He already bore your guilt and shame.
Regardless of the darkness you are in or the extent or frequency of the sins you have committed or will commit, regardless of how doubtful you may feel, know that Jesus UNDERSTANDS completely and He is faithful.
"those who come to Me, I will by no means cast out" - John 6:37
...HOW DO I LEARN MORE?
Don't know where to start?
Note down the Gospel of "John", or "Luke" (if you want a more detailed account of it all).
Remember that He will "NEVER - and that means never - leave you, NOR forsake you" - Deuteronomy 31:6
Regardless of what goes on down here, God knows, Jesus has been down here and felt all the emotions you are feeling. You can go to Him with them and be assured that He loves you and is for you.
Even in the storm, God is still there, walking on the water alongside you.
Keep your heart open to Him and remember that if we pray for Christ to enter our lives, He will.
"For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only begotten Son, that whomever believes in Him, shall not perish, but have everlasting life". - John 3:16
Thanks for reading if you did. I just felt that I should tell you regardless. Let me know if you have any more or if you need clarification on anything xx
The purpose of the law was to show us we were sinners in need of a savior until the seed should come the seed which is Christ has come we are no longer under the law set free by grace anybody that doesn't know what it means to be set free this guy's teachings could be dangerous Hes mixing the bond woman bondage with the free woman grace
What percentage of a man's salvation comes from Christ's sacrifice at Calvary, and what percentage comes from a man properly keeping the Old Covenant Sabbath? Answer this question honestly, and you will understand the New Covenant "now" in effect in Hebrews 8:6-13. We are not come to Mount Sinai in Hebrews 12:18, but are come instead to the New Covenant of Mount Sion in Hebrews 12:22-24. This is the truth of the Gospel of the New Covenant, which was fulfilled by His blood at Calvary.
All these different churches want to separate themselves from the flock by keeping this law or that wall or sabbath day keeping Jesus is the Lord of the sabbath he is now our sabbath rest we rest daily in him 7 days a week we know the sabbath was Saturday but the new covenant sabbath is Jesus resting in his finished work
It is written in his law to rest on the sabbath day. Don’t twist the words of the Father
you are a good teacher.. i dont understand how you can turn around and teach TITHING again, it being part of ordinances and and statutes ..
Tithing iS found in the New Testament also
At pentecost the The first church out of love brought all possessions to the feet of the apostles for the needs of the poor. Tithing has blessed my life. How can I ever pay the lord for what He has done for me.10 cents on the dollar is not too much for the blessings He has given me.peace
God bless you all. Jesus came 2000 years ago and established the new covenant as prophesied in Jeremiah 31:31. He established it on the Passover, putting the promise of the new covenant [forgiveness of sins] on the Passover bread and wine symbolizing His flesh and blood.
No wonder Jesus said that '..unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood you have no life in you, whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life'.
The old covenant Passover commemorated God's peoples [physical Jews] freedom from physical slavery. This was a shadow of the promise of the new covenant Passover. Now we receive spiritual freedom from the slavery of sin and death, hence the promise of eternal life and forgiveness of sins through the new covenant Passover.
The early church kept the new covenant Passover, however this life giving truth was abolished by the little horn [Roman Catholic Church] as prophesied in Daniel 7:25. Pagan customs were introduced onto the church.
The 2nd coming Christ is to come and restore the lost Passover, the hidden manna in these last days.
The Reformation has past and now the final perfect restoration of the truth has come. Now all peoples are streaming to Mount Zion to learn the ways of the Lord as prophesied in Micah 4:1-2.
The 2nd coming Christ has come and has restored Zion, the city of God's Festivals [of the new covenant]. Praise God.
Is this what you watched
What about Romans 10:4 Christ ended the law so that everyone who believes in him is made right with God
If the law could be done away with, Christ needed not to die on the cross. The law stands. Christ give power to obey it.
You have to read the whole text: For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.
Christ is the end of the law FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS. To whom? To every one that BELIEVETH.
Paul is talking about those "going about to establish their own righteousness" by keeping the law without Christ.
The text does not say, Christ abolished the law.
You're taking that way out of context. It says "for Christ IS the end of the law". Meaning you have to believe Christ died for your sins and accept Him as Lord and savior over your life. Remember the law is "perfect".
@@valibucuresti Christ is the end of the law meaning he is the goal or our example. Like the end zone. It doesn't mean end as in abolish or do away with.
People under the law don't get this .same reason Jews don't understand it!
If this guy likes the New Covenant so much, why is he trying to live under the Law? Seventh Day Adventism misses the point completely. We don't need to observe the Sabbath Day any longer, because Christ is our Sabbath-rest.
"One person regards a certain day above the others, while someone else considers every day alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind. He who observes a special day does so to the Lord; he who eats does so to the Lord, for he gives thanks to God; and he who abstains does so to the Lord and gives thanks to God."
-Romans 14:5-6
"Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day."
-Colossians 2:16
"For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken later about another day. There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; for anyone who enters God’s rest also rests from their works, just as God did from his. Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will perish by following their example of disobedience."
-Hebrews 4:8-11
Did not the Jews have the Sabbath? Then why did they not have rest? Because the true Sabbath-rest is only found in Christ. This rest is entered through faith, and it is total and complete and final. Jesus did it all and credits it to us.
You need to be very careful quoting Paul(2Peter3:15-16).Even though Paul's was under Christ law & his objective was to to do what hé was called for which is to win the gentile converts, He still acknowledge God's law or 10 commandments (1 Cor 9:21,Romans7:12).
@@ministerg1258
Do you believe that I misquoted Paul? If I improperly exegeted those passages, please explain how they should be understood.
My advice to you is that you should not ignore Paul. In Ephesians 3:7-12 he said:
"Of this gospel I was made a minister according to the gift of God's grace, which was given me by the working of his power. To me, though I am the very least of all the saints, this grace was given, to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ, and to bring to light for everyone what is the plan of the mystery hidden for ages in God, who created all things, so that through the church the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly places. This was according to the eternal purpose that he has realized in Christ Jesus our Lord, in whom we have boldness and access with confidence through our faith in him."
Paul taught that Love was the fulfillment of the Law (Romans 13:8-10). The difference between Law and Love is that Law required US to obey perfectly in order to receive life, whereas Love is GOD's free gift to us. That free gift manifests itself in us so that we live a changed life which begins to fulfill those 10 Commandments and even goes beyond them.
If I remember right Moses when he broke the ten commandments was told by God to write them himself.
Are you sure?...
@@Exodus--jn5xk Exodus 34:27 and 28; yeah I'm pretty sure: what's the verses got to do that you put up here;? what's that got to do with this subject?
@@Exodus--jn5xk oh I see that's your handle! I didn't get that that !((lets me know where you're at ))((in your head)) that explains the first comment!! if I would have caught that I probably wouldn't have bothered answering you.!
@@Exodus--jn5xk I think the Pharisees sewed blue fringes on the bottoms of their skirts. The wider the hem the greater they appeared amongst their peers.. to let people know how righteous they were .(and they did appear to keep the law as they understood it.). Matthew 23:5
Tzittzit’s are a command of God to be a reminder to keep His commands Num 15, however the Pharisees made theirs long and showy to appear more holy outwardly. The tzittzit’s (command) is good, but how it was misused is bad.
Pharisees were rebuked because they NEGLECTED HIS COMMANDS and preferred traditions of men Mark 7. I’m not saying you, but many have always believed the Pharisees kept the law perfectly when in actuality they did not at all. They added to it or took from it, with the intent to appear more righteous while their heart was far from God. This is always what Jesus is rebuking them for!
Jesus kept the law perfect AS GOD INTENDED, wore Tzittzit’s, honored the feasts commanded “forever”, as did Paul and all the others. The Gentile’s even did as Jesus modeled until anti-Semitic Rome, Constantine came in and declared themselves above God’s word.
A believer(hearer & doer) must ask, if the desire to honor God’s Law isn’t on their heart BECAUSE they are saved than are they really walking in the way of God and the New Covenant? Jer 31, HEB 10 His commands aren’t burdensome, Scripture says. Psalm 119 is another.
A quote I felt conviction on is “Holiness is always oppressive to sinners”. When people loathe the idea of God’s Law, it’s because they desire the flesh more than spirit, maybe unknowingly. They are in opposition to each other. Also, because the abuse of grace abounds in the Christian community.
You need to listen to Andrew wommack .... hebrews highlights
Does anyone know why the Ark of the Covenant is not in peoples hands..Yet!
God protects his Laws forever! but be assured when Jesus returns they will be revealed as proof that the LAWS of God Never Change!..and All are subject to them, Gentiles, Jews, Black ,White Green or Red.
Yes. Because it is now "obsolete", based on Hebrews 8:13. Christians are now the ark of the New Covenant, by being indwelled with the Holy Spirit. The Sinai covenant is the 10 commandments. (Exodus 34:28) The 603 other ordinances were designed to further explain how the 10 commandments were to be observed. In Acts chapter 15 the Mosaic law is called a "yoke". In Galatians chapter 4 the Apostle Paul compares the Sinai covenant to bondage and compels the Galatian church to "cast out" the Sinai covenant of bondage. In Galatians chapter 3 we find that the Sinai covenant was "added" 430 years "after" the Promise to Abraham, "until" the Seed could come. Not one jot of tittle would pass from the law "until" it was all fulfilled on a wooden Cross, with the words... "It is finished." The Old covenant is now "obsolete". Hebrews 8:13. The veil in the temple was ripped in half, signaling the end of the sacrifices, the Levitical priesthood, and the whole Old covenant system.
2Co 3:3 Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart.
No, I'm under the blood of Jesus Christ, my Lord and my Savior. He was and is the only one who could be sinless under the Law. Once glorified, we will all be perfect and Holy. The laws are written in are hearts and minds. No one is saying not under the Law, time to go out sin as much as possible! We are under God's Grace! I don't take it lightly when the Father sends His only Son to suffer and die for us who are unworthy. He took on God's wrath. Jesus conquered! As Adam gave us our sin nature, Jesus gives us a new spirit. A free gift...the gift of salvation! Focus on Jesus. Listen to the Holy Spirit!
Read Gal. It says if we are led by the spirit we are no longer under the law, IF No longer under the law means we are under the law,then I confess you are right,but if no longer under the law,means we are no longer under the law, then you are wrong and I am right we are no longer under the law. I know you will say when Paul says law he means old jewish traditions,really! because the bible says and this is Paul talking Jesus was born under the law to redeem us from the law,so is that what Jesus was born under ?Jewish Traditions, if it was he did not keep them very well,remember what he said about the hand washing.
I can see a desire of the pastor to commingle law and grace. Show me a Bible verse that says “now that you’re saved, you are enabled to obey the law” absolutely not. The law will always minister death to us, before salvation and after salvation….it will always be there to show us we CANT do it, so if you try it, it will keep telling you are fail. UNLESS YOU PRETEND TO OBEY LIKE THE PHARISES DID. Paul clearly states that Law has no place in the life of a saved person, the law did its job and it’s no longer in charge, Jesus is now in charge. If you are under the Law sin is your master. Folks don’t be fooled. The law that Jesus nailed to the cross is the 10 commandments. Please read Roman’s. Paul clearly states “do not covet” killed him, that’s the 10 commands, NOT THE ORDINANCES LIKE THE PASTOR SAID.
Salvation depends on believing in YAHSHUA, the only beloved SON of ELOHIM, not the New covenant.
Who pours new wine into an old wineskin? 613. The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. Apostle Paul bends over backward to establish the understanding of law/grace covenants, Love "is" the fulfillment of the law.Yes the law is perfect holy and good, but the ministation of death could not bring life. Even today when Moses is read, a veil lies over their heart. You have fallen from grace, you who seek to be justified by the law, You are void of Christ.
"Therefore by the works of the law, no flesh shall be justified in His sight, for by the law comes the knowledge of sin." Keep searching the Scripture, perhaps even ask the Father to reveal to the eyes of your understanding, the new covenant, wich He swore by Himself.
How could he preach this view when it is different from the light given to us in Patriarchs and Prophets?
Ceremonial law? Scripture makes no such distinction. New Covenant is the same Law, but put in our hearts and giving Holy Spirit to give us the "desire and want to" obey. Not one jot or tittle shall pass from the law til there is a new heaven and earth. So no such thing as " ceremonial law" passed away. Also, stone and paper is irrelevant. That point is not the handwriting against us. Makes no sense.
Of course the scripture make the distinction between the different laws. The Law of God existed before sin came into the world. The system of ceremonial sacrifices came after sin and as result of the sin. Before sin, Adam obeyed the Law of God. It was written in his heart. After sin it was required of him to offer ceremonial sacrifices pointing to Jesus as the true sacrifice for sin. The ceremonial law pointed to Jesus. After Jesus died on the cross, ceremonial sacrifices were no longer needed. This is plainly taught in the scripture.
@Max the verse you are talking about is not talking about God's law. Why would God's law which is perfect and which Jesus promises to not pass away until Heaven and Earth pass away be what you think was nailed to the cross? It was the condemnation of death from the law of sin and death that was nailed to the tree. Not the law itself. You were taught incorrectly. Yahweh's Sabbaths and feast days and holy days point to the future kingdom and we should be keeping them as He commanded. Instead you celebrate pagan days Dec 25th and Easter, etc. Sun god worship. You should be keeping the commandments of Yah. Read rev 14 :12
@@valibucuresti not true. There will still be sacrifices during the millennial reign on earth. The temple is rebuilt...etc. We don't sacrifice because there is no temple. Paul still did sacrifice and kept whole law after Christ ascended.

Why is Matthew 5:17-18 misunderstood? He came to fulfill. Did He? yes. John 19:28-30. Jesus said it would not pass until it be fulfilled and He did just that. He didn't destroy, but had perfect obedience to it, living under it. Hebrews 8:13. It is no longer binding. Love God and your neighbors. Colossians 2:16. Keep it if you like!
The reason it is misunderstood is that most legalists like to point out that heaven and earth must also pass away. I have done a lot of research into this and have learned this:
In order to understand what Christ is referring to (Heaven and earth passing) we must have good knowledge of how the Jews thought and talked back in their time. Heaven and earth is used as a symbol for Israel many times in the Old Testament: In Deuteronomy 32:1, in the song of Moses, God is talking to Israel when He says: "Give ear, 0 ye heavens, and I will speak; and hear, 0 earth, the words of my mouth" In the song of Moses, God is depicting the fate of Israel when He says: "For a fire is kindled in mine anger, and shall burn unto the lowest hell, and shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire the foundations of the mountains" (vs. 22).Is God here talking about burning up the earth? No, he is talking about bringing judgment upon Israel.
In Isaiah 51:13 God said that He had "stretched forth the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth" Once again, is God speaking here of the literal heavens and earth?Read on in this same passage to verse 16: "And I have put my words in thy mouth, and I have covered thee in the shadow of mine hand, that I may plant the heavens, and lay the foundations of the earth, and say unto Zion, Thou art my people."Read that verse again. It could not be talking of the formation of the literal heavens and earth, for that had taken place more than 3,000 years before! So, then, what is He talking about? The verse explains itself. He is talking about "Zion."
look at the very first chapter of Isaiah, in which God begins to give predictions of coming invasions and captivities of His people; and in Isaiah 1:2 He said:"Hear, 0 heavens, and give ear, 0 earth: for the LORD hath spoken, and I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against me."To whom is He speaking when He addresses, “O heavens" and "0 earth"? He is talking to Israel.
In Jeremiah 22:29 God says, "0 earth, earth, earth, hear the word of the Lord." And in verse 1 (along with verses 11, 18 and 24) we read that the words were for the people of Judah, concerning the time when they would be taken "into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of the Chaldeans" (vs. 25). It was not the whole physical earth God was talking to, but the people.
If the dissolving of heaven and earth were to be taken literally in all the passages of the Old Testament where such language is used, it would necessarily mean that the heavens and earth were to be destroyed numerous times! The language has to be figurative.
Now look at Matthew 24:1-2 where the disciples ask Jesus about the buildings and temple; and Jesus reply is, not one stone shall be left on top of another (THIS HAPPENED IN 70 A.D.) Now go to verse 34 where Jesus says, this generation will not pass away until these things happen (Which they literally did witness in 70 A.D.) Now read verse 35: Jesus says, "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away."
As one can see by this study that heaven and earth is Israel which did pass away. Otherwise Jesus would have been lying when He also said this: Luke 12:49 "I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled?" Jesus Judged Israel for rejecting him and allowed Rome to destroy Israel and the temple. So yes, heaven and earth (Israel) did pass away.
Jesus fulfilled the prophecies concerning Himself. The Old Testament was called The Law and The Prophets. Both foretold His coming. Fulfilling The Law has a broader application. He wasn't focusing on the Ten Commandments. That's not all there is to what people thought of as The Law back then.
Patricia Wynne m
Axe at the root
You said Heaven and earth is/was used as a symbol for israel in the old testerment? and by this proclamation you proclaim to us that the law has now passed away with Israel so by understanding what you are saying leaves us with one option
we are free to sin so grace may abound?? But Paul said by no means let us be dead to sin
According to scripture the deffinition of sin is not following the Law as it is told to us in scripture time & time again. So if you are going to proclaim such iniquities give us the chapter & verse to prove it, if you going to insert something like this then you need to back it up with scripture & show it when it is used in context to what you are proclaiming otherwise it is lies
Why does God speak to the Heavens and the Earth?
2 Cor 13:1 in the mouth of 2 or 3 witnesses shall words be established
Did you consider that God may be speaking to the heavens and the earth because those are His 2 witnesses.
The principalities reside in the Heavens (1st witness)
The Prophets reside in the earth (2nd witness)
God reveals His Word, His Law/Torah through His servants the prophets.
What Word? His Law
Who was the Word?
John 1:1 In the beginning was the WORD & the WORD was with God & the WORD was/is God
The Law regarding Greco-Roman mind set & philosophy means oppression, slavery
The Law according to Hebrew mind set and philosophy

This is the doctrine of devils, that sin is fine, that the lawless one will be revealed. Get saved to be Holy, you are not saved from Holiness, but to be Holy for He is Holy!

Nothing New in the “New Testament” its the same covenant, Renewed Covenant.
And its only for the house of Yisrael and those that Join themselves to Yisrael by the blood of Yeshua.
he is splitting hairs.
You mean rightly dividing the word line upon line precept upon precept
If we don't believe ALL of the law was nailed to the cross, then we are saying that Jesus did not completely fulfill the law at the cross. We're essentially keeping ourselves under the Old Covenant. You say those who believe in the New Covenant teaching that we are no longer under the law but under grace are following the doctrines of devils. Wow! Woe to them who call good evil and evil good. Be careful, lest you condemn the plan of salvation God has delivered to us through His Son.
Mr. Batchelor, ever read 2 Corinthians 3:7? Are the 10 Commandments against us you ask. Being the ministration of death...I would say yes. Galatians 3:10-13, 23-25 speaks of the Law, the Torah. Clearly we are not under it, but dead to it. Even Jews do not believe the commandments are binding for the gentiles, only the Noahic commandments. God wrote the Ten commandments for Israel. Ephesians 2:11-18. Just rest in the completed work of Jesus Christ. Do the will of the Father...believe in His Son. I hear Jesus taught the law. Jesus was under the law. That's the whole idea. Don't read Matthew the Sermon on the Mount and the Lord's prayer and obey. This is before the cross.
Keep on Breaking the Commandments my Friend!....I am here to tell you there is not much time left.....Jesus is coming soon!...go down on your knees and repent to God....then start changing your life before its too late.
I break them more than you??? Are you keeping all 613 laws? I keep 2 commandments given by Jesus and the Holy Spirit is sanctifying me. If you have a new spirit in Christ, you hate sin. I have repented and come to Christ. Love God and follow the Royal Law/ Commandment. It is only possible with faith and love in Jesus.
Sorry for the Late reply, the 613 Laws are not the Ten Commandments! The SDA specifically talks about the Ten Commandments which are written in stone with the finger of God.

I have repented, turned from my sinful ways and turned to Jesus.
He alone saves, by His finished work, sinless under the Old Covenant, which the Ten Commandments were a part of.

Thanks Romans, In other words you are going by the Ten Commandments as these resemble the character of God. The 2 commandments that you mention hang from the Ten. I am sure you do not
have no other gods but the lord, No graven images or likenesses. Not take the LORD's name in vain. Remember the Sabbath day. Honor thy father and thy mother.Thou shalt not kill.Thou shalt not commit adultery
etc etc.That is what the SDA are saying!
