Comments on: Excuses for Sin http://letspleasegod.com/excuses-for-sin/ Mon, 06 Sep 2010 13:43:53 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Nealreal http://letspleasegod.com/excuses-for-sin/comment-page-1/#comment-152 Nealreal Thu, 26 Aug 2010 23:49:01 +0000 http://letspleasegod.com/?p=530#comment-152 Robert, check this out: <a href="http://thelatterdays.blogspot.com/2010/07/sacred-name-of-yhvh.html" rel="nofollow">The Sacred Name of YHVH?</a> And you may also find this article useful on the name of Jesus/Yashua (<a href="http://thelatterdays.blogspot.com/2009/07/evil-letter-j.html" rel="nofollow">The evil letter "J"</a>). The bottom line is: the name isn't that deep, its more about our obedience to God through the power of the Holy Spirit and if in fact we are doing that or just making excuses for why we don't want to. <blockquote> 16 I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. 17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. 18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. (Gal 5:16-18,22-23)</blockquote> Let's focus on learning to hear from God and obey him, and not get caught up on days, names and laws. We can't fulfill the law. Yet the law is fulfilled in love as we yield to the power of the Holy Spirit. Therefore we'll automatically fulfill the law by walking the Spirit - the Spirit does it for us. Robert, check this out: The Sacred Name of YHVH? And you may also find this article useful on the name of Jesus/Yashua (The evil letter “J”). The bottom line is: the name isn’t that deep, its more about our obedience to God through the power of the Holy Spirit and if in fact we are doing that or just making excuses for why we don’t want to.

16 I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. 17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. 18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. (Gal 5:16-18,22-23)

Let’s focus on learning to hear from God and obey him, and not get caught up on days, names and laws. We can’t fulfill the law. Yet the law is fulfilled in love as we yield to the power of the Holy Spirit. Therefore we’ll automatically fulfill the law by walking the Spirit – the Spirit does it for us.

But they also REFUSED beforehand, to look into the fact that their "Sabbath" was NOT from GOD, but a man-made ALTERNATIVE, taking AWAY from God, HIS right as CREATOR to expect that HIS PEOPLE will obey HIS COMMAND to KEEP His SABBATH. (in Spanish, Saturday is SABBADO - or, Sabbath! - they AT LEAST kept the NAME, even if they LOST the MEANING! - So we who persist in keeping the false day, DISOBEY - DISHONOUR - DISRESPECT - God, and show HIM our CREATOR, that we really DON'T LOVE HIM!

But SIN goes even FURTHER - like when we refuse to accept God's Commandments, which are the BASIS of Belief in God and Yashua (corrupted English = Jesus.) - If we dont accept His 4th commandment, then we by DEFAULT break every other commandment! - think hard on this: we stole from God His Authorized day, Committed ADULTERY with the Enemy Satan, etc... - so no WONDER that so many "Christian" Churches keep sinning and getting in fact WORSE, by accepting Homosexuality - even into the priesthood! - or accepting ABORTION without objection or voting AGAINST those polititians who protect murder of babies!

As a Catholic, this is something I pray my Protestant brothers and sisters who subscribe to Sola Fide come to understand. I also pray for my Catholic brothers and sisters who ignore the interior life and merely go through the motions. Excellent thoughts. Thanks for sharing.
