Keep the commandments

The Ten Commandments were The Ten Laws that are defining Natural Law summed up in the Two commandments of Jesus the Christ. The principles expressed in these ten statements have been the foundation of law for free nations but unfortunately because of religious Sophistry and false religion few understand them.
You may be saved by grace through faith but if you are not keeping the commandments you may not have real faith but may only be under a Strong delusion and may even be among the workers of iniquity rejected by Christ,
Abraham, Moses, and Jesus set the people free. But the modern Christian, Jew, and Muslim break the commands of Christ through their covetous policies.
The prophets have always seen fervent charity as an essential practice to maintain a free nation As a matter of habit and policy modern Christians violate the commandments and their neighbor because they choose to follow blind guides who depend upon "legal charity" of the State for their daily bread and reject "the way" of righteousness.

Is "Christ Lord" do you abide in Him and He in you?

Or are you under a strong delusion?

Does the Bible tell us to keep the commandments?

Do the testaments of the prophets tell us that to not keep the commandments is evidence that we have rejected God?

We know that in Matthew 19:17 it is written "And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments."

And in John 14:15 it is written "If ye love me, keep my commandments."

John also talks about being born again. If we are born again does that mean if we do not Keep the commandments we are still saved?

The ekklesia or early Church that was called out and established by Christ and the Kingdom appointed to the little flock by Jesus is what we should be seeking.

The kingdom had been taken away from the Pharisees who had been the children of the kingdom because their Corban was not bearing the fruit of the Spirit. The early Church was not a scattered flock Like the Modern Church with 40,000 denominations because it was commanded by Jesus to bring the people together so that there could be a daily ministration of faith, hope and charity.

In those days Jesus was the common denominator of what we called His Church.

His sheep heard His voice and the revelation of God the Father through the Holy Spirit as they followed the way they built His Church in them and with them.<RefJohn 10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:</Ref>

This is what he told us in Matthew 16:17 where it says "And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed [it] unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven."

How do you know that it is the Father in heaven who is revealing to you what you think is true?

How do you know if it is the Holy Spirit that is writing on your heart and mind and not just the emotions that come with deceivers and a strong delusion?

Did you figure out the truth by eating of the tree of knowledge?

Is Religion what you think about God and you think you know Jesus because studied about him for a long time?

Is your epistemology a product of the vanity of your own mind and the influences of the world that has crept into your thinking?

The mind of man is born of flesh and blood. Was it flesh and blood that convinced the truth to Simon or was it the Holy Spirit that has convicted his mind through revelation?

There are many Theologies professed by people who proclaim that they are believers and born again.

Some of them must be wrong, because thousands of these denominations often fundamentally disagree with each other and certainly do contrary to the decrees of the doctrines of Jesus.

How do we know who is right?

How do we know if we are wrong or right?

Who even are the true believes?

And should we have Fellowship with unbelievers?

This is an important question, since we see the word translated fellowship in 2 Corinthians 6:14 "Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship(this is not koinonia but metoche meaning partake or sharing.) hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion <koinonia> hath light with darkness?"

So, we must also ask what is a "believer".

A Believer is "a person who show themselves faithful in the transaction of business, the execution of commands, or the discharge of official duties".

What is really important in the identification of a believer?

What tells us that you are seeking the kingdom and the righteousness of God?

Fruits,

What does

Matthew 7:16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

Matthew 7:20 "Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them."

The works of faith

2 Thessalonians 1:11 "Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of [this] calling, and fulfill all the good pleasure of [his] goodness, and the work of faith with power:"

Yes, Paul said, in Romans 3:27 "Where [is] boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith." and in Galatians 2:16 "Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified."

"If ye love me, keep my commandments." John 14:15 Decalogue parchment by Jekuthiel Sofer 1768

But there is a difference between the works of law and the works of love.

So what is the law of love?

Did not Jesus tell you, have you not heard from the beginning?

Matthew 22:37-40 - "Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets."

So if you keep the law of love and love Him, you will keep His commandments.

So if you are not keeping the commandments, then you do not love Him and are not keeping the law of love nor the law of faith.

James 2:14-17 - "What [doth it] profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him? If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit? Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone."

If you do not commit adultery, you have kept the law, but if you lust after a woman, according to Jesus you have already committed the sin of adultery in your heart. The first has kept the law but he who does not lust has kept the law of love.

This is why you are not saved by the works of the law, but are saved by grace because you are a believer in Christ, not merely believing a doctrine within the mind. A believer loves the Holy Spirit of Christ. And because he loves that law of Christ, he will keep the written law.

This should be simple to understand. Keeping the written law may or may not mean you keep the law of love but if you do not keep the written law, that is evidence that you do not love He whom you say you believe in.

This is why it is not those who say Lord, Lord, but it is those who are Doers of the Word.

Now you must understand a Believer is not one who accepts a written doctrine as true in their minds, but he is one who keeps the commandments out of love. Many who do not know the written doctrine may keep the commandments because they are written upon their hearts.

Now you should ask yourself: Do you keep the commandments?

Do you covet?

Do you desire Benefits at the expense of your neighbor through Benefactors who exercise authority one over the other?

If you love God and your neighbor as yourself, you cannot desire such Benefits and call yourself a Christian or a follower of Christ.

If you did, that would be taking the name of the Lord in vain.

To make agreements with the Fathers of the earth so that they would be your Benefactors and savior in time of need would be making covenants with other gods.

That would be a false witness who did that and then said they were believers in the God of heaven.

If they killed by the power you gave them, then you would be a killer.

If taking those benefits cursed your neighbor with debt, you could not eat of them in good conscience and your love would compel you to become a benefactor who exercised love instead of force ... like John the Baptist, who rejected the use of force .

Every commandment would be broken in such a World.

So know and/or ask yourself this...

People followed Abraham, Moses, John the Baptist and Jesus. The altars of clay and stone was a way to create the social bonds of free people. The levites led the Israelites. And the early Church followed Christ and His Way, which was The Way, and advocated a Daily ministration that was dependent on Pure Religion through Fervent charity only. This was the Corban of Christ which was not like the system of Corban of the Pharisees nor of Rome or the systems of FDR and LBJ.
The church lost "the way" when it abandoned the practice of "pure Religion" while claiming to be the Church established by Christ. The people developed an appetite for the "wages of unrighteousness" from "public religion" in the days of Constantine. Those new Christians that often failed to fully repent degenerated the moral character of society with the masses of "instant christians".
That new religion of the emperor introduced a new faith with his apostate church replacing the doctrine of Jesus with the "doctrines of men", the Holy Spirit with emotion, the truth with the speaking of "great swelling words, having men's persons in admiration because of advantage."
They had a form of godliness but denied the power thereof.

Where is your religion

• Where do you find the Daily ministration of the early Church, the Pure Religion of James and the Corban of Jesus?

• Are you following The Blessed Strategy of Christ like the Early Christians?

• Are you following The Way through Love of one another or the way of the world and the Fathers of the earth?

• Do you seek the benefits of bankrupt nations, or do you forgive and seek the benefits of Christ's appointed Kingdom?

• Do you only gather for the comfort it gives you, or do you gather to benefit others?

• Christ came to serve, not be served. Do you desire to be served, or are you coming in His name and according to His character to serve others?

If we desire His Grace but we only love those who love us, then there is no Grace because it is clear we do not really believe in Him.

If we do not Repent of our Covetous Practices and are not diligently gathering together in Free Assemblies of Love for all to provide for one another in Charity according to the Perfect law of liberty then we have nothing according to Paul. According to Luke 6:32 if we only love those who love us there is no "Grace". Christ also said if you do not Forgive neither will the Father forgive you.

It is not enough to hate the deeds of the workers of iniquity, but we must return to Thy first love and thy first work. To break the yoke, we need to return to the ways of righteousness spoken of in Isaiah 58 which are the ways of Christ and the early Church. And His yoke is light for it is carried by our love of one another.

Abraham, Moses, John the Baptist and Christ all created Networks of charity to care for the true needy of society without force which is how they were able to help set people free. Do you gather with His Church to attend to the Weightier matters as Christ said?

• Are you gathering in a Network of righteousness?

• Do you come to love others or just be loved?

• Are your Congregations' gatherings fruitful enough so that no one has to pray to Benefactors who exercise authority one over the other?

• Does anyone in your Free Assemblies have to apply to the Fathers of the earth, or seek their many benefits?

Early Christians found themselves in conflict with these systems of social welfare because they made the word of God to none effect. Christians had repented of their covetous nature when they received the Baptism of Christ. They heard and became Doers of the word not hearers only.

Remember Proverbs 12:24, "The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the Slothful shall be under Tribute."

We know that liberty under God is not for the covetous who are Biting one another but it is also not for the slothful. If we are not congregating together in free assemblies bound together in a broad network by faith, hope, and charity alone according to the perfect law of liberty then we are not truly seeking the Kingdom of God nor His righteousness.
