Well, you might ask, What then, was Paul talking about when he said we are saved by grace? Let's take a closer look at a Scripture passage that mentions grace. Let's keep in mind what the original word and concept was in the Greek. The definition is stated clearly above in the beginning of the text. Let's look at the all time favorite. Eph. 2:8,9 For by grace are ye saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of "God" , not of works, lest any man should boast. What does this really mean if we take off the cloud of the translators? For by the divine influence upon the heart and it's outward reflection in the life are you saved, through belief, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of YAHUAH , not of the works of the flesh, lest any man should boast. Can't we see here, that what happens is a new heart and a new being which are miraculously transformed by the hand, the mighty hand, of the Almighty One? YAHUAH is His Name. What would He transform your life to do? He transforms your life into a repentant walk, a righteous walk. What is that? Breaking His commands? Of course not, but keeping His commands ! How could we really believe anything else if we are His? Granted, trying to keep the law in the power of the flesh cannot save you. It has to be the work of the Almighty upon your heart and the outward reflection in your life, that He is doing the work, that saves you. We could go on to many other verses and insert the meaning in, instead of the word grace. However you can do that in a study on your own. The purpose here is to get the reader to think and search out the truth. In summary, it is correct that the works of the Law do not save us, just like doing good does not erase past sins or wrong. If we know Him, we endeavor to keep the Law to please Him out of love and gratitude for the love and forgiveness we have received. When we repent, confess our sins and ask for forgiveness, He is trustworthy and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Good works do not make the wrong of the past go away. However, we are to keep the Law out of obedience and LOVE. May you be blessed with wisdom, knowledge and understanding as you search. In the Name of YAHUAH and His Son YAHUAHSHUA . |
Wouldn't you like to know what the concept "GRACE" actually meant to impart in the original Greek? Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible, number 5485 in the Greek Dictionary of the "New Testament" states : 5485---------- charis, khar'ece;from5463; graciousness(as gratifying), of manner or act(abstr. or concr.;lit.,fig.or spiritual; ESPECIALLY THE DIVINE INFLUENCE UPON THE HEART, AND IT'S REFLECTION IN THE LIFE; including gratitude):- (bold print mine) Now that's the definition. Everything that comes after the ( :- ) colon and dash, is what other translators have translated the original language into. That's where the word "GRACE" came from in most of your Scriptures; from other translators, ie. KJV translators. Were they really trying to impart truth, or was there an agenda in mind ? Actually, the Greek word Charis, was in fact, the name of a pagan deity. Now we also know our Heavenly Father commanded the children of Israel to not make mention of other deities nor let the names of pagan or other deities come out of their mouths. Ex. 23:13 How is it then,that the One who changes not, would give this command and then, "inspire" His men to write His words, to His people and use the names of pagan deities? That would be in direct contradiction to Himself ! This is not possible ! This is not the only example of this sort of language perversion and is a main reason why we believe that the Scriptures, including the "New Testament" were in fact written in Hebrew, NOT Greek. Sorry for the digression. If in fact, the real concept was; "the hand of the Almighty One on the heart, to influence it and the outward reflection of that influence in the life," then, the idea of today's "Church" when addressing the subject of "grace", is not correct. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see the dichotomy. Oh, but we're saved by grace and the law is done away with, right? That being the case, WHY is it wrong to commit murder, adultery, fornication? Oh, I'm just being a legalist you say. Why do you say that homosexuality is wrong if the law is completely done away? Why is it wrong to ; steal, bear false witness, covet, be disobedient to parents, etc. , if the law is completely done away? Why do we abhor idol worship and believe we should love YAHUAH , our Heavenly Father, and Him only with ALL our heart, mind, soul and strength, if the law is done away with? Oh, I'm being a legalist you say. Well then, why did Paul himself, write in Romans chapter one, against many of these specific things if the law is done away with? WE KNOW THESE THINGS TO BE WRONG. HOW? Isn't it because YAHUAH'S LAWS are written on our hearts? Isn't it because, deep down inside, we KNOW it's wrong to break these commands? Isn't that why it is stated in Rev. 12:17 and Rev. 14:12 , that it is those that KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS AND have the testimony of YAHUAHSHUA the Messiah, that are the remnant of her seed? The remnant of her seed are the true believers, "the saints" . WHAT THEN WOULD THE HAND OF OUR HEAVENLY FATHER ON OUR HEARTS INFLUENCE US TO DO? GOOD OR EVIL? RIGHT OR WRONG? In love, He would never influence His people to do evil or wrong,only right! The only portion of the Law that was done away with is the ceremonial law. The blood sacrifices are no more. Those laws and requirements are completely fulfilled in the completed work of Messiah. A study of the original language will prove this out. There are different types or segments of the law. Isn't it worth studying it out to find the truth of the matter? It's not meant that you should read what someone else, who claims to be an "authority", has written and call that studying it out. Don't we need to study to show ourselves approved, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed? Isn't this why James said in chapter 2:17,18, 20,22b So also belief, if it does not have works , is in itself dead. 18. But someone might say, "You have belief, and I have works. Show me your belief without your works, and I shall show you my belief by my works. 20. But do you wish to know, O foolish man, that the belief without the works is dead? 22b. and by the works the belief was perfected. Where in the Scriptures did you find that the Messiah did away with the law or the ten commandments? Show me one place that He said that He did away with the law. II Pe. 3:14-16 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that you look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of Him in peace, without spot, and blameless. 15.And account that the longsuffering of our Master is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given to him has written to you; 16. As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, ( twist, pervert ) as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction. The word which was translated ," wrest," could also be translated twist or pervert. If we put twist or pervert in the above text in place of the word wrest, we gain a better understanding of what was meant here. Don't we need to look at Scripture in light of the whole of the text? We cannot take one little verse or mistranslated portion and base our belief and doctrine on it. The purpose here is to get believers to THINK and QUESTION if what they have been taught and indoctrinated to believe is TRUE and CORRECT or not. Some things will be found to be true and correct and others not. Regardless, the TRUTH shall stand on it's own. One issue that is of crucial importance is the ten words or ten commandments. One of these commandments, particularly, is obscured by the translators. Another is just ignored by the clergy and "Churchianity". More correctly translated, the third commandment would read; You do not bring the Name of YAHUAH your Elohim to nothing, for YAHUAH does not leave the one unpunished who brings His Name to nothing. Yes, our Heavenly Father has a Name and He expects you and I to know it and to pray to Him in His name. HE will not hold him guiltless who brings His Name to nothing. He also said that He will not give the esteem that belongs to Him to another mighty one. In Isaiah 42:8 He says" I am YAHUAH, that is my Name, and My esteem I do not give to another, nor My praise to idols." How is it then that You refer to Him as God and Lord? Those are both the names of pagan deities and NOT His Name. G-d is the name of the Babylonian deity of fortune or luck. G-D din't do anything for you! G-D didn't create the heavens and the earth. YAHUAH OUR MIGHTY ONE DID! Lord is also derived from a pagan deity's name so to refer to our Heavenly Father as either of those is in direct violation of the third commandment. It could also be a violation of the second commandment by having other deities before Him, the only TRUE and ALMIGHTY ONE. EITHER WAY, IT IS SIN. THE ONLY ALTERNATIVE IS TO REPENT! If you don't or can't see this, then this message is not to you. I hold nothing against you, for Isaiah 44:18 and II Thess. 2:10b-12 are in effect in your life. I have no control over that. The fourth commandment is the one that is ignored by most clergy and "Churchianity" in general. We can find NO place in theScriptures that tell us that Messiah did away with the ten commandments or the law. We can find that a sign of being His, is to KEEP the commandments and have His testimony in our lives, Rev. 12:17b and Rev. 14:12. You may be thinking, "Oh, that's in the future." However, you may be surprised Our Heavenly Father is the SAME yesterday, today and forever ! He changeth not ! The fourth commandment is to remember the SABBATH day to keep it separate. You shall do no work on the Sabbath. Our Messiah kept the Sabbath and so did His disciples, His taught ones that walked with Him. They kept the sabbath before He left and after His resurrection and ascension. The sabbath is set apart and described EXACTLY to be the seventh day of the week in the ten commandments. Exodus 20: 9-11 There is NOT one place in the Scriptures that change the Sabbath to the first day of the week or Sunday. Just click on the hyper link and do the study of OUR Saviour's example. Then consider your alternatives. Repent and follow Him or continue in sin. Again if this message, you do not comprehend, it is not for you and Isaiah 44:18 and II Thess. 2:10b-12 apply in your life. My prayer is that you receive the truth and repent. |

YOU MAY STILL BE CONVINCED THAT THE LAW IS DONE AWAY WITH. |
Well let me ask you then. If the law is done away with then there would be NOTHING WRONG with someone coming over to try your wife out a few times , Right? For that matter then it would also be Okay for a homosexual to come over and try you and your children out, Right? I mean if the law is done away with, what's the problem? There wouldn't be anything WRONG with it, would there? After all they're just "loving" their neighbor as themselves. While they're at it they'll just take your car when they leave. If you don't like it or they don't happen to like you or your wife, they can just kill you and go on to the next family. After all, if there's no law, wouldn't it be Okay? This is not an attack on homosexuality. It is not different than any other sin or transgression of the Law. SIN is SIN ! It doesn't matter if you're talking about that or lying, stealing, murder, disobedience to parents, idol worship, not keeping the Sabbath, bringing the Name of the Most High to nothing, or any laws in the old covenant, other than the blood sacrifices and ceremonial law. If we break the Law in one point we are guilty of the whole Law. THINK ! THINK ! Whoever you are, THINK! Isn't it totally absurd to think and believe that the whole law is done away???? Of course we all know that the law is not done away!!!! That premise is an attack of the evil one and we've been duped. It's just like Eve in the garden believed it was really OK to eat of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Sin is still sin because the Law is still in effect !!!!! |

By this we know that "faith" belief without works is dead. We can also add that works without belief is dead. An analogy I recently read really shows clearly, the relationship of belief and works. If you had a coin and sliced it down the middle so as to make two halves, each having only one face. Would either half be a valid coin? Of course not! To be a valid coin, both sides with their respective faces need to be welded together. The cutting edge of the coin could represent love. |
