PARABLE:
It's FUN to watch the ART of gymnastics,
like vault, balance beam and floor exercises.
My favorite is the Uneven Parallel Bars... watching the twisting and turning & fast sailing around a little bar of wood....
often with no hands for support....
ending with a huge fancy flip to the ground.... Things that are
FUN to watch... but the human body was never designed
to NEED to do in "real life."
SO WHAT ??
SCRIPTURE GYMNASTICS
Sailing thru PIECES of scriptures
trying to prove a point
while ignoring simple LOGIC answers like: >>
"God's Law tells us what God LIKES & He never changes that.
You SAY you love God,
so WHY ARE YOU FIGHTING
(rebelling against) what God SAYS He wants, likes?
Because you don't WANT to do it & are making excuses like a toddler in a tantrum."
...Romans 7:7 & 12 are ignored amid gymnastics in 7 & 8.
Remember "Give them an inch & they take a mile"??
Poor God: With Love & mercy,
He offers us GRACE, Forgiveness...
and many people claim that God's Law (Declaration of what He Likes)
ended. Based on taking out of context SOME of the verses in Romans & Galatians.
NO LOGIC. And UN-kind to our Creator who gave the GIFT of His Law
(Jer 31:31-34): So we KNOW His heart.
Jesus warned us (Matt 24 ETC ) of coming
LAW-lessness, aNomia,
with its Selfish, false teachings. It's Here.
What does LORD God say ?? LINK TO SCRIPTURES
EVEN PAUL warns against LAW-lessness right in the middle of scriptures quoted
to say that "God ended the Law"...
Romans 6: 19. "Because of the weakness of your human nature, I am using the
illustration of slavery to help you understand all this. Previously, you
let yourselves be slaves to
impurity and lawlessness, which led ever deeper into sin.
Now you must give yourselves to be slaves to righteous living so that you will become holy."
Romans 7:12 & 14 >> "But still, the law itself is holy, and its commands are holy and right and good...
So the trouble is NOT with the Law, for it is spiritual and GOOD. The trouble is with ME, for I am all too human, a slave to sin." ... and then Paul goes on to explain what God did to HELP us thru this which is horrid to us who want to please God out of LOVE for Him as well as right-ful Awe, honor.
Lawlessness is DEFINED in 2nd Thessalonians 2:3 ...
"Don't be fooled by what they say. For that day will not come until there is a
great rebellion against God and the man of lawlessness
is revealed—the one who brings destruction."
10 "He will use every kind of evil deception to fool those on their way to destruction, because they refuse to love and accept the truth that would save them."
I have more & more studies that CONVINCE me that God never changed 1/10th of Mose's "10 Commandments" to change Sabbath...
Hebrews 10:26-29.... 26 For if we SIN willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there NO longer remains a sacrifice for sins,... <NOTE: SIN is defined how? By breaking God's LAW>
28 Anyone who has rejected Moses’ LAW dies without mercy...
29... has trampled the Son of God underfoot...
insulted the Spirit of grace?" <See full passage for God's inspired quote>.
Prayer:
LORD it is SO easy to be fooled by Scripture Gymnastics by people who sound SO much smarter than I am..... Please help me to STAY AWARE of people even using Your Word....
just as Satan did to Jesus at the beginning of His ministry....
to try to TRICK me into believing FALSE things about You,
by taking SCRIPTURES OUT OF CONTEXT and comparing them with others out of
context..... TWISTING AND TURNING AND SLAMMING THEM
until I am confused if You do not help me.

I TRUST Your promise in John 14:26
that you will send Your Holy Spirit to help me
remember ALL JESUS TAUGHT.
