No not at all. According to the scriptures Gods 10 commandments give us the knowledge of good (moral right doing when obeyed) and evil (moral wrong doing when disobeyed); sin (moral wrong doing when disobeyed) and righteousness (moral right doing when obeyed) see Romans 3:20; Romans 7:7; 1 John 3:4; Psalms 119:172. We are told to examine ourselves to see if we are in the faith or not in the faith deceiving our selves (2 Corinthians 13:5). Therefore the test to know if we are in the faith is the fruit of our faith which is obedience to Gods Word and commandment (see 1 John 2:3-4.
As posted earlier Kenny, our post is irrelevant again Kenny as I do not get my salvation from the law. I found it in Christ. Love to God and obedience to Gods Word is given to all those who walk in Gods Spirit and know God through faith in Gods Words. According to the scriptures, we cannot say we know God if we do not believe and obey what Gods Word says. This is why it is written in the scriptures;
- 1 John 2:3-4 3, And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. 4, He that said, I know him, and keeps not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
- 1 John 3:4 4, Whoever commits sin transgresses also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
- Hebrews 10:26-31 26, For if we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more sacrifice for sins, 27, But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries. 28, He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses: 29, Of how much sorer punishment, suppose you, shall he be thought worthy, who has trodden under foot the Son of God, and has counted the blood of the covenant, with which he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and has done despite to the Spirit of grace? 30, For we know him that has said, Vengeance belongs to me, I will recompense, said the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people. 31, It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
Hebrews 3 and Hebrews 4 are a warning that those who do not believe and follow what Gods Word says do not enter into Gods rest which is defined in Hebrews 4:1-5 as the seventh day Sabbath created from the foundation of the world. No one therefore enters into Gods rest by not believing Gods Word and breaking His commandments.
I prefer what the scriptures teach Kenny. So should you anything less James called the dead faith of devils in
James 2:13-16. Its time to unlearn the lies we have all been taught at Sunday school.
