I teach the uncut word of God, those situation I'm quite sure God will deal with them at the time appointed, but for those who are able to do the will of God and hear his word, their time is now. Paul said in Hebrews 3:12 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. 3:13 But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. 3:14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;3:15 While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation. 3:16 For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.
What Paul is taking about here is those who will rest in Jesus Kingdom, the saint, those who will make to the first resurrection, who will do the will of the Father, which is to keep the commandments. So don't harden your hart when you hear what you have to do to become a saint. Its written in Revelation 14:12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
I am sure that you are doing what you believe is the correct teaching Bro.tan. But personal belief does not allways translate into Biblical truth my brother. You are using verses in Scripture to support your pre-concieved belief that we as believers must keep the law stay saved. That is just not the case.
Now for an example consider the Scriptures you just posted in Hebrews 3:12-16.
This warning is addressed to the "Brethren", the professing Jewish believers, lest any have unbelief in his heart and thus depart from God.
This departing (Apostenai) is the source of our word today......"Apostasy". That is the deliberate departure from God's full revelation which of course is the Lord Jesus Christ. These Jewish brethren were being tempted by an evil heart of unbelief to return to Judaism. To do so meant that they would have to reject that full revelation which they have received and return to the INCOMPLETE REVELATION OF JUDAISM. Because of that, they are admonished to exhort one another daily with the truths that they will strengthen their faith in Christ such as the truths in the epistle of Hebrews.
So then what was their problem IF they were believers. What was their great sin that would cause such an action Bro.tan?????
My dear friend, they did not believe God! Their great sin then is still the great sin today........ UNBELIEF!
The writer is not addressing keeping the law at all. He is in fact proposesing that Israel's fickle faith did not manifest itself AS TRUE FAITH nor will that kind of faith do so today. Jesus told us that true faith is the implanting of the Word of God into a receptive, believing heart in Luke 8:4-15. Remember, we have become "partakers" IN Christ, not partners with Christ.
Then you use Revelation 14:12.....
"Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus."
Bro.tan.........Those words do not apply to us today. The Revelation has NO church doctrine in it Bro.tan. These words are given to that group of people during the Tribulation who will have to keep the commandments of the Law and they can not take the mark of the beast.
To them Jesus says in Matt. 24:13.....
"But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved".
All the God's own can do during this period is to be patient and wait on the 2nd Coming of Jesus.
Now, why will he endure?????? He will endure because he is sealed by the Holy Spirit and is clothed in righteousness. He is able to endure and overcome by the blood of the Lamb of God.
