The Beatitudes give us a picture of a true disciple of God. Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. "The kingdom of heaven" refers to people who acknowledge Yehovah as King. "Blessed are those daring enough to openly live as Yeshua and suffer persecution. The Sermon on the Mountain Tuiscint ar an Seanmóir ar an sliabh Seanmóir ar an mount físeán The Sermon on the Mountain This final diagnostic test goes directly to the heart of the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5:1–12). It strips away the passive, poetic veneer that religion often wraps around the Beatitudes, forcing the reader to look into the mirror of the Messiah's opening words and see if their internal condition matches the exact description of a citizen of His Kingdom. 📋 The "Sermon on the Mount" Internal Alignment Test Instructions: Answer these 8 direct questions based on your true internal state and outward actions to determine if you are bearing the fruit of a true disciple or if you are simply tracking with the crowds. Question 1: Poor in Spirit vs. Self-Sufficient The Master states: "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." When you look at your life before Yehovah, what is your true spiritual posture? A) You walk in absolute bankruptcy, fully recognizing your total, desperate need for Yehovah to lead you, guide you, and instruct your every step. B) You are spiritually self-sufficient, relying on your own intellect, human doctrines, or a past prayer, assuming you are "good enough" without a daily, broken dependency on Him. Question 2: Mourning Over Sin vs. Rationalizing Compromise The Master states: "Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted." How do you respond internally when you realize you have violated the Father's commands or fallen into sin? A) You experience deep, heavy sorrow over your transgression, leading you to an immediate, physical turn (repentance) back to His ways so you can find the true comfort of His forgiveness. B) You shrug it off, minimize it, or claim that "grace covers it" without ever feeling genuine grief or making an effort to stop the behavior. Question 3: The Meek vs. The Self-Willed The Master states: "Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth." Meekness is strength under total submission. Who holds the ultimate authority over your time, your money, your diet, and your rest? A) You have fully submitted your neck to Yehovah's yoke. Whatever His Word commands, you do—making Him the absolute Lord over everything you possess. B) You are self-willed. You listen to God's Word only when it matches your existing lifestyle, retaining final veto power over any instruction that requires real sacrifice. Question 4: Hungering for Righteousness vs. Feasting on the World The Master states: "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled." What is the driving passion and deepest hunger of your everyday life? A) You passionately long for the righteousness of Yeshua, consuming His Word daily like food and water, desperate to see His character and His Torah reflected perfectly in your walk. B) You are spiritually full and satisfied with the distractions, entertainment, and material comforts of this world, treating the deeper things of scripture as an occasional snack. Question 5: Merciful vs. Resentful The Master states: "Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy." When someone wrongs you or falls short, what is your knee-jerk reaction? A) You actively extend forgiveness, kindness, and compassion, remembering the massive debt of sin the Father forgave you, and you sow mercy so you may reap it. B) You hold grudges, keep tabs on offenses, or harbor bitter resentment, expecting the Father to show you unlimited mercy while you refuse to offer it to others. Question 6: Pure in Heart vs. Outward Appearance The Master states: "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see Yehovah." Remembering Hebrews 12:14 ("Without holiness, no one will see Yehovah"), what does your life look like when no human being is watching? A) You pursue inward holiness that only Yehovah can see, begging Him to cleanse your hidden motives, your thoughts, and your desires from the inside out. B) You focus entirely on outward appearance. You put on a good show for people at church or online, but your hidden thought life remains uncleaned and full of compromise. Question 7: Peacemakers vs. Divide-and-Conquer The Master states: "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of Yehovah." How do you handle the ministry of reconciliation (2 Corinthians 5:19–20)? A) Having been reconciled to the Father through Yeshua, you actively bring that exact message of truth, repentance, and restored covenant fellowship to the people around you. B) You cause division, spread gossip, or remain completely silent about the Messiah, leaving the people in your life disconnected from the only source of true peace. Question 8: Persecuted for Righteousness vs. Hiding the Light The Master states: "Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness... Blessed are you when people insult you... because of me." What happens when your obedience to scripture causes friction with family, friends, or the culture? A) You dare to openly live exactly as Yeshua lived, counting it a joy and a privilege to face insults, exclusion, or false accusations for the sake of His name and His truth. B) You hide your faith, adjust your language, or compromise on the commandments to blend in, ensuring you never face discomfort, social rejection, or pushback from the world. The Kingdom Verdict: Look back over the eight boxes you checked. If the answers land consistently on B, the mirror reveals a sobering truth: The crowd followed Yeshua for the miracles, but only the disciples climbed the mountain to live by His words. You cannot inherit the Kingdom of Heaven if you reject the internal alignment required of its citizens . The Beatitudes are not a list of optional suggestions; they are the baseline character of the remnant. To claim to follow the Messiah while refusing to walk in His meekness, His purity, and His willingness to suffer for righteousness is to remain outside the gate. The choice to step onto the mountain and obey is yours today. Matthew 5:3-12 By Mary Fairchild The Beatitudes give us a picture of a true disciple of God . Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs, is the kingdom of heaven. The phrase "poor in spirit" speaks of a spiritual condition of poverty. It describes the person who recognizes his or her need for Yehovah. "The kingdom of heaven" refers to people who acknowledge Yehovah as King. Paraphrase: "Blessed are those who humbly recognize their need for Yehovah, for they will enter into his kingdom." Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. "Those who mourn" speaks of those who express deep sorrow over sin and repent for their sins. The freedom found in forgiveness of sin and the joy of eternal salvation is the "comfort" of those who repent. Paraphrase: "Blessed are those who mourn for their sins, for they shall receive forgiveness and life eternal." Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. Similar to "the poor," "the meek" are those who submit to Yehovah’s authority and make Him Lord. Revelation 21:7 says Yehovah’s children will "inherit all things." Paraphrase: "Blessed are those who submit to Yehovah as Lord, for they will inherit everything he possesses." Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. "Hunger" and "thirst" speak of deep need and driving passion. This "righteousness" refers to Yeshua Messiah. To "be filled" is the satisfaction of our soul's desire. Paraphrase: "Blessed are those who passionately long for Christ, for he will satisfy their souls." Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. We reap what we sow. Those who demonstrate mercy will receive mercy. Likewise, those who have received great mercy will show great mercy. Mercy is shown through forgiveness, kindness, and compassion toward others. Paraphrase: "Blessed are those who show mercy through forgiveness, kindness, and compassion, for they will receive mercy." Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see Yehovah. The "pure in heart" are those who have been cleansed from within. This is not outward righteousness that can be seen by men, but inward holiness that only Yehovah can see. The Bible says in Hebrews 12:14 that without holiness, no one will see Yehovah. Paraphrase: "Blessed are those who have been purified from the inside out, being made clean and holy, for they will see Yehovah." Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of Yehovah. The The Bible says we have peace with Yehovah through Yeshua Messiah. Reconciliation through Christ brings restored fellowship (peace) with Yehovah. 2 Corinthians 5:19-20 says Yehovah entrusts us with this same message of reconciliation to take to others. Paraphrase: "Blessed are those who have been reconciled to Yehovah through Yeshua Messiah and bring this same message of reconciliation to others. All who have peace with Yehovah are his children." Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Just as Yeshua faced persecution, so will his followers. Those who endure by faith rather than hide their faith to avoid persecution are genuine followers of Yeshua. Paraphrase: " Blessed are those daring enough to openly live as and for Yeshua and suffer persecution, for they will receive the kingdom of heaven."Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you. Matthew 5:11

The statement " God gives His Spirit to those who keep His commandments" is a core theological concept, emphasizing that obedience to God's commands is a sign of love and a means by which His Spirit empowers believers to live a life pleasing to Him. Acts 5:32 Romans 8:9, he writes: "But you are not controlled by your sinful nature. You are controlled by the Spirit if you have the Spirit of God living in you. And remember that those who do not have the Spirit of Christ living in them do not belong to him at all". Self-Test The Examination of Faith: A Self-Test Scriptural Requirements for Salvation. "Examine yourselves, to see whether you are in the faith.It asks: Is my faith a living, breathing part of who I am, or am I just going through the motions?Test yourselves..." — 2 Corinthians 13:5 He wants us to find out now, in the quiet of our own prayer lives, if we are operating in the flesh or the Spirit—rather than standing before Him on Judgement Day only to hear the words, "I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness" (Matthew 7:23). The Line in the Sand Scriptural Assessment There is no gray area, no partial alignment, and no grading on a curve. In the economy of God's Kingdom, you are either a submissive subject or an active rebel. Your daily actions, your handling of His instructions, and the fruit of your lifestyle are the evidence that will either vindicate you or convict you. Use this 15-point diagnostic to weigh your walk under the light of the written Word. Test 1: The Benchmark of Gathering "He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters abroad." — Matthew 12:30 The Question: Are your daily choices, your lifestyle, and the traditions you practice actively gathering people into covenant obedience to God's instructions, or are your actions scattering them away into compromise, lawlessness 1 John 3:4, and worldly customs? By saying "He who is not with Me is against Me," He eliminated any possibility of a "neutral ground." In a spiritual war, sitting on the fence is not an option. If you are not actively working for the Kingdom of Light, your existence naturally serves the Kingdom of Darkness. Are your daily choices, your lifestyle, and the traditions you practice actively gathering people into covenant obedience to God's instructions, or are your actions scattering them away into compromise, lawlessness, and worldly customs? Your Answer: [ ] YES, I am gathering / [ ] NO, I am scattering Test 2: The Benchmark of the Spirit "And we are His witnesses to these things, and so also is the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey Him." — Acts 5:32 The Question: Does the spirit inside you cause you to humbly submit to and keep the Father's commandments (Ezekiel 36:27), or does it make excuses, calling obedience "legalism" while clinging to man-made traditions? (God only gives His true Spirit to those who obey Him). Your Answer: [ ] YES, it leads to obedience / [ ] NO, it rejects His law Test 3: The Benchmark of Truth "He who says, 'I know Him,' and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him." — 1 John 2:4 The Question: When confronted with the plain instructions of Scripture, do you lay your life down flat to align with them, or do you pretend to know God through a mere "feeling" or traditional heritage while ignoring His laws? Your Answer: [ ] YES, the truth is in me / [ ] NO, I am deceiving myself Test 4: The Benchmark of Love "By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another." — John 13:35 The Question: Is your life marked by genuine, sacrificial love and service toward the brethren who walk in the truth, or is it hindered by pride, malice, or division? Your Answer: [ ] YES / [ ] NO Test 5: The Benchmark of Fruit "Every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit... Therefore by their fruits you will know them." — Matthew 7:17, 20 The Question: Does the daily output of your life consistently produce the supernatural fruit of the Spirit—patience, kindness, goodness, and self-control—or do you still bear the bitter fruit of the flesh? Your Answer: [ ] YES / [ ] NO Test 6: The Benchmark of the Tongue "If anyone among you thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this one’s religion is useless." — James 1:26 The Question: Is your speech ruled by scriptural self-control, or is your tongue unbridled—frequently given over to anger, gossip, profane language, or tearing others down? Your Answer: [ ] YES / [ ] NO Test 7: The Benchmark of Separation "Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him." — 1 John 2:15 The Question: Have you consciously set yourself apart from worldly entertainment, fleshly standards, and pagan-rooted traditions because you love the Father more than the culture? Jeremiah 10:43 For the customs of the peoples are worthless; they cut down a tree from the forest; it is shaped with a chisel by the hands of a craftsman. 4 They adorn it with silver and gold and fasten it with hammer and nails, so that it will not totter. Your Answer: [ ] YES / [ ] NO Test 8: The Benchmark of Action "But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves." — James 1:22 The Question: When you discover a direct command or truth written in the Scriptures, do you immediately adjust your life to execute it, or do you simply listen to it and remain unchanged? Your Answer: [ ] YES / [ ] NO Test 9: The Benchmark of Sovereignty "No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other... You cannot serve God and mammon (money)." — Matthew 6:24 The Question: Does the Almighty possess total authority over how you acquire, manage, and distribute your financial resources, or does the pursuit of wealth, security, and personal comfort govern your choices? Your Answer: [ ] YES / [ ] NO Test 10: The Benchmark of Mercy "He who oppresses the poor reproaches his Maker, but he who honors Him has mercy on the needy." — Proverbs 14:31 The Question: Do you actively demonstrate compassion, care, and tangible help to the poor, weak, or distressed when it is within your power to do so? Your Answer: [ ] YES / [ ] NO Test 11: The Benchmark of Correction "Do not correct a scoffer, lest he hate you; rebuke a wise man, and he will love you. Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be still wiser..." — Proverbs 9:8-9 The Question: When another believer brings scriptural correction to expose an error or a sin in your walk, do you receive it with humility and appreciation, or do you respond with anger, pride, and self-defense? Your Answer: [ ] YES / [ ] NO Test 12: The Benchmark of Humility "God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble... Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up." — James 4:6, 10 The Question: Are you genuinely willing to take the lowest seat, serve without recognition, and prioritize God's reputation above your own ego and the desire to be right? Your Answer: [ ] YES / [ ] NO Test 13: The Benchmark of Endurance "But he who endures to the end shall be saved." — Matthew 24:13 The Question: Do you remain steadfast in obeying God's truth when trials, persecution, or family rejection come against you, or do you compromise your walk to escape friction or pressure? Your Answer: [ ] YES / [ ] NO Test 14: The Benchmark of Pure Worship "God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth." — John 4:24 The Question: Do you worship God strictly according to the clean parameters defined in His Word, or do you try to honor Him using methods, calendars, and celebrations adopted from pagan cultures? Your Answer: [ ] YES / [ ] NO Test 15: The Benchmark of Fear of Man "The fear of man brings a snare, but whoever treats the Lord shall be safe." — Proverbs 29:25 The Question: Is your ultimate goal to please the Master regardless of public opinion, or do you alter your speech, actions, and scriptural standards to seek the approval and validation of human beings? Your Answer: [ ] YES / [ ] NO ⚖️ Evaluating the Results If you answered YES to all 15: You are With God. Your eyes and ears have been opened by a soft heart, and the true Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) is operating inside you, giving you the supernatural power and desire to walk in His covenant statutes (Ezekiel 36:27). If you answered NO to any of them: You are Against God. This is the definition of spiritual blindness. By rejecting the light of His instructions in favor of your own comfort or man-made religious traditions, you have closed your own eyes. If you persist in this state, God will eventually confirm you in that darkness, making it so you can no longer hear or see the truth. "Choose this day whom you will serve... but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD." — Joshua 24:15

Tribulation Three types of people 1. Those who take up the sword will die by the sword Matthew 26, 26:52. 2. Don’t be afraid of what you are about to suffer. The devil will throw some of you into prison to test you. You will suffer for ten days. But if you remain faithful even when facing death, I will give you the crown of life.. 3. Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land: Ezekiel 37:16-28

Notice that following repentance is the remission of sins, which baptism signifies, symbolically dying to sin and resurrection to a new life. The only way you can enter the Kingdom of God is by being born again, thru repentance and baptism. Baptism/The Holy Spirit Baisteadh/An Spiorad Naomh Tabhair faoi deara go bhfuil i ndiaidh aithrí loghadh na bpeacaí, rud a chiallaíonn baisteadh, ag fáil bháis go siombalach don pheaca agus aiséirí go saol nua. Is é an t-aon bhealach ar féidir leat dul isteach i Ríocht Dé ná trí a bheith á rugadh arís, trí aithrí agus trí bhaisteadh. Nuair a thagann duine amach as an uisce, baintear do pheacaí go léir, agus gheobhaidh tú bronntanas an Spioraid Naoimh. Múinfidh sé thú agus cabhróidh sé leat dlí Dé a leanúint. Cruthaíonn na chéad véarsaí eile tú ní féidir leat an spiorad a fháil mura bhfuil tú fíor-aithrí, stop an peaca agus cas ar ais go Torah Iehova. Is sárú ar an dlí é an peaca. Eoin 3:5 “Go deimhin, go fírinneach, a deirim ribh, mura mbeirtear duine arís, ní féidir leis ríocht Dé a fheiceáil.” 4 Dúirt Nicodemus leis: “Conas is féidir duine a rugadh agus é aosta? An bhféadfaidh sé dul isteach i mbroinn a mháthar an dara huair agus é a bhreith?” 5 D'fhreagair Iósa: “Go deimhin, go fírinneach, a deirim ribh, mura mbeirtear duine ón uisce agus den Spiorad, ní féidir leis dul isteach i ríocht Dé. 6 An ní a bheirtear ón bhfeoil, is feoil é an ní a bheirtear ón Spiorad. 7 Ná bíodh iontas ort go ndúirt mé leat, ‘Ní foláir thú a bhreith arís.’ 8 Séideann an ghaoth áit ar mian léi, agus cloiseann tú a fuaim, ach ní fios duit cá as a dtagann sí nó cá dtéann sí. Mar sin, is le gach duine a rugadh ón Spiorad.” Matha 3:1 Sna laethanta sin tháinig Eoin Baiste, ag seanmóireacht i bhfásach Chonradh na Gaeilge Iúdá 2 Ag rá: “Déan aithrí, mar tá ríocht na bhflaitheas gar.” Eoin 3:22 Tar éis na nithe seo tháinig Íosa agus a dheisceabail isteach go tír Iúdáia, agus bhí sé ag caitheamh ama leo ansin agus ag baisteadh. 23 Bhí Eoin ag baisteadh freisin in Aenón i ngar do Shalaim, mar go raibh mórán uisce ann; agus daoine a bhfuil muid ag teacht agus a bhí á mbaisteadh - Matha 4:17 Ón am sin ar aghaidh thosaigh Iósua ag seanmóir, “Déan aithrí, mar tá ríocht na bhflaitheas in aice.” Gníomhartha 2:37 Nuair a chuala na daoine é seo, bhí siad gearrtha go croí agus d'iarr siad ar Peadar agus na haspail eile, "A dheartháireacha, cad a dhéanfaimid?" 38 D’fhreagair Peadar é: “Déanaigí aithrí agus baisteadh sibh, gach éinne, in ainm Iósa Meisias chun maithiúnas bhur bpeacaí, agus gheobhaidh sibh bronntanas an Spioraid Naoimh. 39 Baineann an gealltanas seo leatsa agus le do leanaí agus le gach duine atá i bhfad uait, dóibh siúd go léir a nglaofaidh an Tiarna ár nDia air féin.” …40 Le mórán focal eile thug sé fianaise, agus d’impigh sé orthu, “Slán sibh ón nglúin thruailligh seo.” 41 Baisteadh iad siúd a ghlac a theachtaireacht, agus cuireadh timpeall trí mhíle ar na creidmhigh an lá sin. 47 Ag moladh Dé agus ag baint suilt as fabhar na ndaoine go léir. Agus chuir Iehova gach lá lena líon siúd a bhí á shábháil. Mar an gcéanna, múineann Pól fir na hAithne: Gníomhartha 17:30 Go deimhin, ar na hamanna seo den aineolas thug Dia dearmad, ach anois orduithe gach fir i ngach áit aithrí, mar tá sé ceaptha lá a bheidh sé breithiúnas an domhain i bhfíréantacld ag an Fear a d'ordaigh sé. Tá sé seo tugtha slán aige do chách trína ardú ó mhairbh. Matha 3:16 Nuair a bhí sé baisteadh, tháinig Yeshua suas láithreach as an uisce; agus féach, osclaíodh na flaithis dó, agus chonaic sé Spiorad Dé ag teacht anuas mar cholum agus ag tuirlingt air. 17 Agus go tobann tháinig guth ó neamh, ag rá, "Is é seo mo Mhac beloved, a bhfuil áthas orm." Mark 1:15 Focail Yeshua teacht i bhfoirm ordú práinneach: "Tá an t-am comhlíonta, agus an ríocht Dé ar láimh. Déan aithrí, agus creidim sa soiscéal." Ní hamháin go dtagann Críost chun Ríocht Dé atá ag teacht go luath a fhógairt, go háirithe dóibh siúd a ghlaonn Dia orthu (Eoin 6:44), ach freisin chun na daoine tofa a ullmhú dá bhfreagrachtaí spioradálta anois agus sa Ríocht. An Spiorad Naomh a Fuarthas ag Ephesus Gníomhartha 19:4 Mhínigh Pól: “Baisteadh aithrí a bhí i baiste Eoin. Dúirt sé leis na daoine a chreidiúint sa Té a bhí ag teacht ina dhiaidh, is é sin, i Yeshua.” 5 Nuair a chuala siad é seo, baisteadh iad in ainm an Iósua Meisias. 6Agus nuair a leag Pól a lámha orthu, tháinig an Spiorad Naomh orthu, agus labhair siad i dteangacha agus rinne siad fáidh.… Baisteadh Shauil Na hAchtanna 9:15 Ach dúirt an Tiarna leis, "Téigh! Óir is é an fear seo m'uirlis roghnaithe chun m'ainm a ghlacadh chun na nGintlithe, na ríthe, agus na hIosraeilítigh. 16 Taispeánfaidh mé dó an méid a chaithfidh sé a fhulaingt ar son m’ainm!” 17 Mar sin d’imigh Ananias agus chuaigh isteach sa teach. Chuir sé a lámha air ansin agus dúirt: “Seol deartháir Sól, an Tiarna Iósua, a thaispeáin tú ar an mbóthar ina raibh tú ag taisteal, mé chun go bhféadfá do radharc a fháil ar ais agus a líonadh leis an Spiorad Naomh.” 18 Ar. uair amháin thit rud éigin cosúil le scálaí as a shúile, agus fuair sé a radharc arís. Ansin d’éirigh sé agus baisteadh é. 19 Agus tar éis bia éigin a ghlacadh, d’athghin sé a neart. Philip agus Eunuch na hAetóipe Na hAchtanna: 8:34 Agus dúirt an eunuch le Philip, "Faoi cé, iarr mé ort, an bhfuil an fáidh rá seo, faoi féin nó faoi dhuine éigin eile?" 35 Ansin d’oscail Pilib a bhéal, agus ag tosú leis an Scrioptúr seo d’inis sé dó an dea-scéal faoi Iósua. 36 Agus iad ag imeacht ar an mbóthar tháinig siad go dtí roinnt uisce, agus dúirt an eunuch, “Féach, seo uisce! Cad a chuireann cosc orm a bheith baiste?" 38 Agus d’ordaigh sé don charbad stopadh , agus chuaigh siad araon síos go dtí an uisce , Philip agus an eunuch , agus bhaist sé é . 39 Agus nuair a tháinig siad aníos as an uisce, d’iompair Spiorad an Tiarna Pilib uaidh, agus ní fhaca an t-eunuch é níos mó, agus chuaigh sé ar a bhealach faoi lúcháir. 40 Ach fuair Pilib é féin in Ázótus, agus agus é ag dul tríd an soiscéal a shearmonú do na bailte go léir go dtí gur tháinig sé go Caesarea.

Anyone that leads others away from obedience to Gods commandments is a false prophet your pastors have done violence to My law and have profaned My holy things; they have made no distinction between the holy and the profane, and they have not taught the difference between the unclean and the clean; False Prophet False Salvation Prophet Bréagach Is fáidh bréagach é aon duine a threoraíonn daoine eile ó chách géilleadh d’aitheanta Dé. Tástáil Deotranaimí 13 In Ezekiel, déanann Iehova cur síos ar an gcaoi a bhfuil na taoisigh ag déanamh foréigean ar a dhlíthe. Ezekiel 22:26 “Tá foréigean déanta ag a sagairt (do thaoisigh) ar mo dhlí agus thruailligh siad mo nithe naofa; ní dhearna siad aon idirdhealú idir an naofa agus an diabhal, agus níor mhúin siad an difríocht idir an neamhghlan agus an glan; agus folaíonn siad a súile ó mo Shabóid, agus tá mé truamhéileach ina measc. 27 “Tá a prionsaí laistigh di cosúil le mac tíre ag cuimilt na creiche, ag fuil a dhoirteadh agus ag milleadh an tsaoil le gnóthú mímhacánta a fháil. Deir Dia: Aon duine a rugadh ó Dhia, diúltaíonn sé an peaca a chleachtadh, mar go bhfuil síol Dé ina chónaí ann; ní féidir leis dul ar aghaidh ag peaca, mar gur ó Dhia a rugadh é. 10 Mar seo is féidir idirdhealú a dhéanamh idir clann Dé agus clann an diabhail: An té nach gcleachtann fíréantacht ní ó Dhia é, ná aon duine nach bhfuil grá aige dá dheartháir. 11 Seo í an teachtaireacht a chuala sibh ó thús: Ba chóir dúinn grá dá chéile. (Is sárú an dlí é an peaca) Úsáideann Yeshua analaí torthaí agus crann chun fáithe bréige a aithint. Is é an toradh ná tuiscint ar Bhriathar Dé mar a léirítear i dtorthaí beatha a thuig agus a chuir Briathar Dé i bhfeidhm go cruinn. Matha 12:33 “Ceachtar maith an crann agus a thorthaí, nó déan an crann olc agus a thorthaí olc, mar is é a thorthaí a aithnítear an crann. Maidir leis an méid a cuireadh ar ithir mhaith, is é seo an té a chloiseann an briathar agus a thuigeann é. Is é an crann an duine, is é an toradh cáilíocht na beatha mar thoradh air (ní an tuiscint ar an Briathar Dé ach a chur i bhfeidhm cuí). Tá go leor ann a thuigeann agus nach ndéanann feidhm agus mar sin ní thugann torthaí maithe) - is é a thoradh nó a easpa a thugtar ar an duine. Tabhair faoi deara go sainmhíníonn sé cad a cuireadh san ithir chun an crann maith a tháirgeadh - éisteann sé, tuigeann sé agus táirgeann sé torthaí maithe mar a shainmhínigh cheana é mar chrann maith. Má fheidhmítear Briathar Dé go croíúil, nó trí Bhriathar Dé a dhéanamh, cuirfidh sé aimhreas don anam i ndúshláin fhisiciúla, shóisialta, eacnamaíocha, shíceolaíocha agus mhothúchánacha…nó fulaingtí ar mhaithe leis an ríocht – Matha 7:18 Ní féidir le crann maith drochthorthaí a iompar, agus ní féidir le droch chrann torthaí maithe a thabhairt. Mar sin, conas a cháilímid nó a dhícháilímid torthaí a bhfuil Yeshua ag caint faoi. Mar sin féin, ag duine a bhfuil croí aige a roghnaíonn neamhaird a dhéanamh ar dhlí Dé, níl aon mhian aige dlí Dé a leanúint. Matthew 7:20 Dá bhrí sin, ag a gcuid torthaí a bheidh tú iad a aithint Matt. 7:15 “Bí ag faire amach do fáithe bréagach. Tagann siad chugat in éadaí caorach, ach is mac tíre fí iad ón taobh istigh Véarsa 16 “De réir a dtorthaí a aithneoidh tú iad. An bpiocann daoine fíonchaora as toir dealga, nó figí ó fheochadáin? “ Matha 7:17 “Mar an gcéanna bíonn torthaí maithe ar gach crann maith, ach bíonn drochthorthaí ar an gcrann dona.” Matha 7:18... “Ní féidir le crann maith drochthorthaí a iompar, agus ní féidir le droch chrann torthaí maithe a iompar.” ” Cuireann sé seo in iúl dúinn cad ba cheart a bheith i gcroílár a phobail go léir. Agus MÁ... tá sé inár gcroí, ansin beidh sé ar mian linn a shaothrú. Agus más rud é NACH bhfuil sé i do chroí, beidh sé le feiceáil ina mhian NACH leanúint air. Is mian leat géilleadh dó NÓ is mian leat neamhaird a dhéanamh air. NÍ FÉIDIR iad a mheascadh. Dealraíonn sé go bhfuil sé deacair breithiúnas a thabhairt ar do thréadaí mar fháidh bréagach nuair a bhíonn do stíl mhaireachtála mar an gcéanna lena stíl mhaireachtála. Is é an toradh a bhfuilimid chun faire amach dó ná an rogha chun neamhaird a dhéanamh ar dhlí Dé. Is féidir gach rud eile a chumasc ach níl aon chumasc ar an mian géilleadh agus ar an mian neamhaird a dhéanamh ar Dhlí Dé. Tá sé ceann amháin nó eile i súile an Athar. Agus cuimhnigh, tá briseadh dlí amháin cosúil le briseadh an dlí ar fad. Seanfhocal 15:13 Is fuath leis na fíréantacha an rud atá bréagach, ach déanann na drochdhaoine iad féin a stench agus cuireann siad náire orthu féin. Seanfhocal 14:11 Beidh an teach ar an wicked a scrios, Ach beidh an puball an upright bláth. 12 Tá slí ann atá ceart ag an duine, ach is é a deireadh slí an bháis. 1 Eoin 3:5 Diúltaíonn aon duine a rugadh ó Dhia an peaca a chleachtadh, (is é an peaca sárú an dlí). 1 Eoin 3:9 Toisc go gcloíonn síol Dé ann; ní féidir leis dul ar aghaidh ag peaca, mar gur ó Dhia a rugadh é. 10 (Is féidir idirdhealú a dhéanamh idir clann Dé agus clann an diabhail:) An té nach gcleachtann fíréantacht ní ó Dhia é, ná ag aon duine nach bhfuil grá aige dá dheartháir. 11 Seo í an teachtaireacht atá cloiste agaibh ó thús: Ba cheart dúinn grá a thabhairt dá chéile. Ba cheart go ndearbhódh na chéad véarsaí eile do dhaoine a thugann dúshlán do bhriathar Iehova le véarsaí roghnaithe silíní a thógtar as comhthéacs. Nó iad siúd a dhéanann ráitis á rá go bhfuil Iehova ag cur pionós ar Iosrael ar bhealach éigin agus ag beannú na heaglaise. Go bunúsach a rá go bhfuil rialacha éagsúla ann do ghrúpaí éagsúla. Isaiah 53:6 Tá gach duine againn cosúil le caoirigh imithe ar strae, gach duine againn iompú chun a chuid féin bealach ; Ach is é an Iehova ba chúis leis an aingiúlacht atá againn go léir a thitim air. ● Uimhreacha 23:19 "Ní fear Dia, go ndéanfadh Sé bréag, ná mac an duine, go ndéanfadh sé aithrí; An bhfuil ráite aige, agus nach ndéanfaidh sé? Nó ar labhair sé, agus ní dhéanfaidh sé é. maith. 1 Corantaigh 3:3 Le haghaidh ní hé Dia údar na mearbhall, ach na síochána, mar atá i ngach eaglaisí na naomh. 1 John 3:4 An té a deir, Tá a fhios agam air, agus ní keepeth a commandments, tá liar, agus nach bhfuil an fhírinne i dó. John 1:14 Agus rinneadh an Word flesh, agus chomhnuigh inár measc, (agus beheld muid a ghlóir, an ghlóir mar an t-aon-ghin an Athar,) lán de ghrásta agus fírinne. ● Ecclesiastes 12:14 Lig dúinn éisteacht leis an chonclúid ar an ábhar ar fad: Eagla Dia, agus a choinneáil ar a fheictear: mar is é seo an dualgas iomlán de dhéantús an duine. Seanfhocal 28: 9 An té a chasann a chluas ó éisteacht leis an dlí, Is fiú a paidir abomination. 10 An té a stiúrann na daoine atá ina seasamh ar seachrán ar shlí olc, titfidh sé isteach ina chlais féin, ach gheobhaidh na daoine gan choire mar oidhreacht... ● Seanfhocal 2:1 A mhic, má gheobhaidh tú mo bhriathra agus má stórálfaidh tú m'aitheanta ionat; 2 Tabhair aird ar an eagna do chluas, aom do chroí chun tuisceana; 3Oir má ghlaonn tú ar son na tuisceana, ardaigh do ghuth chun tuisceana; … 2 Peadar 3:6 Scríobhann sé ar an mbealach seo ina litreacha go léir, ag labhairt iontu faoi nithe den sórt sin. Is deacair codanna áirithe dá litreacha a thuiscint, rud a shaobhann daoine aineolach agus neamhsheasmhach, mar a dhéanann siad an chuid eile de na Scrioptúir, chun a ndíothaithe féin. 17 Mar sin, a chairde, ó tharla go bhfuil na nithe seo ar eolas agaibh cheana féin, bígí ar bhur bhfaire gan a bheith ar bhur n‑iompar ó dhearmad na ndaoine gan dlí agus tit ó bhur seasamh slán.” 1 Eoin 3:4 Cleachtann gach duine a chleachtann an peaca aindlí freisin. Go deimhin, is aindlí é an peaca. Galataigh 3:10 Le haghaidh an oiread agus is d'oibreacha an dlí atá faoin mallacht; óir tá sé scríofa, “Is mallaithe gach duine nach leanann de gach ní atá scríofa i leabhar an dlí chun iad a dhéanamh. “Ach nach bhfuil aon duine údar leis an dlí i is léir radharc Dé, óir “beidh an cóir beo tré chreideamh. “Ach ní hé an dlí ón gcreideamh é, ach “an té a dhéanfaidh iad, mairfidh sé beo leo.” D’fhuascail Iósua sinn ó mhallacht an dlí, tar éis é a bheith ina mhallacht dúinn (óir tá sé scríofa, “Mallaithe go bhfuil gach duine atá ar crochadh ar chrann”), chun go dtiocfadh beannacht Abrahám ar na Gintlithe i Iósua, chun go dtiocfaimid go bhfaigheadh sé gealltanas an Spioraid trí chreideamh.

The one who belongs listens and responds to Yehovah's words. If you don't listen and respond, it is because you don't belong to Yehovah." John 8:47 True and False Conversations Éisteann an té lena mbaineann agus freagraíonn sé focail Iehova. Mura n-éisteann tú agus freagair , is toisc nach leis an Tiarna thú.” Eoin 8:47 Tá foraitheanta Iehova iontaofa, rud a fhágann go ciallmhar na rudaí simplí. Tá aitheanta Iehova ceart, ag tabhairt lúcháir don chroí. Tá orduithe Iehova soiléir, a thugann léargas ar an saol. Tá urraim don Iehova glan, buan go deo. Is fíor iad dlíthe Iehova; tá gach ceann cothrom. Tá siad níos inmhianaithe ná ór, fiú an t-ór is fearr. Tá siad níos binne ná mil, fiú mil ag sileadh ón gcíor. Is rabhadh iad do do shearbhónta, is mór an luach saothair dóibh siúd a ghéilleann dóibh. Salm 19:7

Why would any Christian not believe or want to keep the 10 Commandments? or say I don't have to keep the commandments? and why don't they want to live and love God by keeping His commandments? Christianity the New Religion Why would any Christian not believe or want to keep the 10 Commandments? or say I dont have to keep the commandments? Warning, look at what the verse doesn't say when you read them (The 10 commandments) 613 commandments 1,050 New Testament Commands How much do you really know about the Bible? Think your minister knows his Bible?Think again. Satan’s Greatest Deception The Ten commandments Christianity the new religion Excuses Christians Use For Not Keeping The Law #1 Romans 10 and verse 4 say Christ is the end of the law for righteousness. Does this verse really mean that Christians have no moral obligation to the law of God? (Romans 7:12 God's Law is Holy So the law is holy, and the commandment is holy and righteous and good.) Numbers 23:19 God is not human, that he should lie, not a human being, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill? Hebrews 13:8 James 1:17 Excuses Christians Use For Not Keeping The Law #2 Colossians 2 in verse 14 says, Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross. Were the 10 commandments really against us? Were the 10 commandments really contrary to us? Did Jesus really nail the 10 commandments to His cross? (Psalms 40:8 KJV) I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart.) (Romans 8:7 KJV) Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. (Mark 7:8 For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do. Excuses Christians Use For Not Keeping The Law Of God #3 In Ephesians 2:14-15 the Bible says, For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us; Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace. Was the middle wall of partition the 10 commandments? Did Jesus abolish the 10 commandments? (Hebrews 5:9 And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him; (Revelation 22:14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.

The Jews created a partition between the Jews and gentiles causing issues in the temple. Excuses Christians Use For Not Keeping The Law Of God #4 The book of Galatians says the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after that faith comes, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. Exactly what law was a schoolmaster to bring us to faith in Christ? Was it the 10 commandments like so many Christians suppose? The Schoolmaster was the aminal sacrifice that showed all sin requires a blood sacrifice and lead to the cross Excuses Christians Use For Not Keeping The Law Of God #5 Jesus said in Matthew 5:17, “Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.” The thing Jesus said don’t think is the very thing that many Christians are thinking and that is that Jesus abolished the law. Just what did Jesus mean when He said, I came to fulfill the law? Does this mean there is no moral obligation to the 10 commandments? Excuses Christians Use For Not Keeping The Law #6 The law has been abolished and nailed to the cross. What do you do when your church is teaching heresy?

Repentance is the key by which we can enter His Kingdom, the way by which we are cleansed to be like Him, and the way He heals a nation. Most of us feel pretty good about ourselves, we don't want anyone to point out anything that make us feel uncomfortable about anything, especially salvation. Físeán aithrí Is é an aithrí an eochair trínar féidir linn dul isteach ina Ríocht, an bealach a nglantar muid le bheith cosúil leis, agus an bealach a leighiseann sé náisiún. Mothaíonn an chuid is mó againn go maith fúinn féin, nílimid ag iarraidh go gcuirfeadh aon duine aon rud in iúl a fhágann go mothaímid míchompordach faoi rud ar bith, go háirithe an tslánaithe. Dá dtiocfadh Peadar go dtí do eaglais agus go dtabharfadh sé an teachtaireacht chéanna a thug sé ar an gCincís bheadh an chuid is mó de na daoine ina gcúiseanna dó a bheith breithiúnach agus deighilte. D'ordaigh Iehova dúinn a orduithe agus a reachtanna a choinneáil. Cén fáth nach bhfuil tú? Ní theastaíonn ó do Shagart go mbraitheann tú ciontach nó go gortódh tú do mhothúcháin. Mura ndearna tú scrúdú criticiúil ar do chroí riamh agus go bhfuil tú ag iarraidh ceist a chur ar cad a chaithfidh mé a dhéanamh le haghaidh slánaithe, is dócha nach ndearna tú aithrí dáiríre riamh. _cc781905- 5cde-3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_ _cc781905-5cde- 3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_ _cc781905-5cde-3194- bb3b-136bad5cf58d_ _cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b- 136bad5cf58d_ _cc781905-5c de-3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_ _cc781905-5cde- 3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_ _cc781905-5cde-3194- bb3b-136bad5cf58d_ _cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b- 136bad5cf58d_ _cc781905- 5cde-3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d__cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b -136bad5cf58d_ Reader aird_cc781905-5cde-31913b_53b_bad-5cde 4 Conas is féidir iad siúd a thréigeann a gcreideamh a thabhairt ar ais chun aithrí a dhéanamh arís? Bhí siad uair amháin i bhfianaise Dé; bhlais siad bronntanas na bhflaitheas agus fuair siad a sciar den Spiorad Naomh; 5Bhí a fhios acu ó thaithí go bhfuil briathar Dé go maith, agus bhraith siad cumhachtaí na haoise le teacht. 6Agus ansin thréig siad a gcreideamh! Ní féidir iad a thabhairt ar ais chun aithrí a dhéanamh arís, mar go bhfuil siad arís ag céasadh Mac Dé agus á nochtadh do náire an phobail. Eabhraigh 6:4 Marcas 3:29“ach an té a thugann blasphemes (an aimsir láithreach) in aghaidh an Spioraid Naoimh, ní bhíonn maithiúnas aige riamh, ach tá sé faoi dhaoradh síoraí “Ní deir sé nach bhfuil maithiúnas ag an té a “damhsall” (san aimsir chaite) riamh._cc781905- 5cde-3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_ Ag am amháin, blasphemed againn go léir an Spiorad mar gheall ar fuath againn go léir an Briathar Dé ... go dtí gur tháinig muid isteach sa chreideamh agus tús a fhás chun grá an Briathar Dé. An bhfeiceann tú an difríocht? Is é an té atá ag gabháil go gníomhach agus faoi láthair ag easumhail do Bhriathar Dé, de ghnáth, gan cúram ná imní, gan grá don Bhriathar, nach bhfuil maithiúnas aige. Mar sin, má tá grá agat do Bhriathar Dé, agus fonn ort Briathar Dé a chleachtadh, níl tú ag déanamh diamhasla ná ag déanamh dímheas ar Spiorad Dé...mar is é Spiorad Dé an dúil atá inár gcroí. dul tar éis a Torah. Tá difríocht idir a bheith unrepentant faoi láthair agus blaspheming an Spiorad nó fuath an Briathar Dé .... an duine sin riamh maithiúnas .... agus ansin an duine a blasphemed an Spiorad agus aithrí, agus grá ag siúl ina Torah díreach mar a mhúin agus a chleacht ár Meisias ... is é an té a bhfuil maithiúnas. 119 Aireachtaí Marcas 1:14 “Tá an t-am comhlíonta,” a dúirt sé, “agus tá ríocht Dé gar. Déan aithrí agus creid sa soiscéal!" Lúcás 3:8 Déan torthaí de réir an aithrí. Agus ná tosaigí ar a rádh libh féin, 'Tá Abrahám mar athair againn.' Mar a deirim ribh gur féidir le Dia clann a thógáil suas d'Abrahám as na clocha seo. Má tá deireadh curtha le dlíthe Dé, cén chaoi ar féidir leat aithrí a dhéanamh? Déan aithrí as cad é? “Tá aithrí ina réamhriachtanas don chreideamh. Cad is aithrí ann? Is é an bhrí bhunúsach atá leis ná” "athrú" nó "casadh." Nuair a chloiseann duine an soiscéal agus má chiontaítear go bhfuil a shlí mhaireachtála mícheart, caithfidh sé a (h)iompar a athrú agus filleadh ar an Torah. Glaonn Iehova ar Torah a threoracha dá chlann. B’fhéidir go n-aithneodh daoine d’umhlaíocht agus tú ag leanúint an Torah mar thiontú go Giúdachas. Is cosúil go ndéanann siad dearmad ar ár Slánaitheoir Giúdach agus an rud a dúirt sé faoi gach duine atá i gCríost amháin? Má tá peaca ag briseadh Torah. Bheadh géillsine ag coinneáil Torah. Chun brón; mian le hathrú; athrú iomlán smaointeoireachta. Athraigh d'intinn i dtreo an pheaca, cinneadh an peaca a thréigean agus géilleadh do Dhia. (peaca é sárú an Dlí); Chun casadh timpeall; 180 a dhéanamh; Nuair a dhéanaimid aithrí, feicimid na trí chéim seo? Braitheann muid ciontach as ár bpeacaí, arb é sárú an Torah é. Stopaimid ag cleachtadh pheaca. Iompaímid ón bpeaca agus thosaigh muid ag siúl le Dia. Eoin 3:8 “A ál na vipers, cé a thug foláireamh duit teitheadh ón fhearg atá le teacht? Tháirgeadh torthaí ar fiú aithrí iad. 1 Eoin 2:15-16 Ná grá don domhan nó do na rudaí ar domhan. Má tá grá ag éinne don domhan, níl grá an Athar ann, mar ní ón Athair é gach a bhfuil sa domhan (dúil na feola agus dúil na súl agus an t-arrogance a tháirgtear trí shealúchais ábharacha). ón domhan. Ní hamháin go mothaíonn aithrí brón nó brón, ach a bheith chomh buailte sin i gcroí an duine go bhféachann duine le baisteadh a ghlanadh agus go dtosaíonn sé ag maireachtáil de réir chaighdeáin Dé - de réir dhlí Dé. Ní aithrí é aiféala gan athrú iompair comhfhreagrach! Is gníomhartha infheicthe torthaí an aithrí - ar a dtugtar "oibreacha" go minic - a léiríonn go bhfuil athrú tagtha ar dhuine go deimhin. Nuair a seanmóir Eoin Baiste aithrí chun an bealach a ullmhú le haghaidh aireacht Yeshua, d'iarr a lucht éisteachta air cad ba cheart dóibh a dhéanamh chun aithrí a dhéanamh. Freagraíonn sé: Lúcás 3:10-14 Éadaigh an nocht, cothaigh an t-ocras, ná goid, ná bain úsáid as údarás an duine chun cos ar bolg, ná bréag nó cúisigh go bréagach, agus bí sásta le pá an duine. ● Mark 1:15 Yeshua dúirt sé, "teacht i bhfoirm ordú práinneach: "Tá an t-am comhlíonta, agus an ríocht Dé ar láimh. Déan aithrí, agus creid sa soiscéal." Tá na gníomhartha seo ag déanamh de réir dhlíthe Dé agus ag léiriú grá do chomharsa. ● Matha 19:17 Dúirt Yeshua, "Más mian leat dul isteach sa bheatha shíoraí, coinnigh na haitheanta" Eoin 12:49-50 Oir ní ar m'údarás féin a labhair mé, ach tá an tAthair a chuir uaidh mé féin tar éis ordú a thabhairt dom—cad atá le rá agus cad ba cheart a labhairt. 50 Agus tá a fhios agam go bhfuil a ordú an bheatha shíoraí. An méid a deirim, mar sin, deirim mar a dúirt an tAthair liom. Chun treoracha Dé a leanúint, ní mór duit dul go dtí an áit a luaitear sa Bhíobla den chéad uair iad. Lean treoir scríofa an Torah, na chéad chúig leabhar de do Bhíobla, ní do shagart ná d’aon fhear. Salm 146:2 Molfaidh mé an Tiarna fad a bheidh mé beo; Canfaidh mé moladh do mo Dhia fad a bheidh mo bheatha agam. 3 Ná cuir muinín i bprionsaí, as fear marfach, nach bhfuil slánú ann. 4 Imíonn a spiorad; filleann sé ar an talamh; Sa lá sin féin bás a smaointe. Ezekiel 22:26 “Tá foréigean déanta ag a sagarta ar mo dhlí agus thruailligh siad mo nithe naofa; ní dhearna siad aon idirdhealú idir an naofa agus an diabhal, agus níor mhúin siad an difríocht idir an neamhghlan agus an glan; agus folaíonn siad a súile ó mo Shabóid, agus tá mé truamhéileach ina measc. 27 “Tá a prionsaí laistigh di cosúil le mac tíre ag cuimilt na creiche, ag fuil a dhoirteadh agus ag milleadh an tsaoil le gnóthú mímhacánta a fháil. Matha 15:8 Tugann na daoine seo onóir dom lena mbeola, ach tá a gcroí i bhfad uaim. Adhradh siad Mise go neamhbhalbh; múineann siad mar fhoirceadal orduithe na bhfear.” Matha 15:14 Lig dóibh a bheith: tá siad ceannairí dall ar na dall. Agus má threoraíonn an dall an dall, tuitfidh an bheirt acu isteach sa díog. 2 Corantaigh 13:15 Déan tástáil agus measúnú ort féin féachaint an bhfuil tú sa chreideamh agus ag maireachtáil do shaol mar chreidmhigh [tiomanta]. Scrúdaigh tú féin [ní mise]! Nó nach n-aithníonn tú é seo fút féin [trí thaithí leanúnach] go bhfuil Yeshua ionat—mura dteipeann ort go deimhin sa tástáil agus go ndiúltaítear duit mar ghóchumtha?

US and Great Britain in Prophecies Us and Great Britain in Prophecies

The Diagnostic Test — Spirit of Truth or Spirit of Tradition? Use these four questions to examine yourself or guide a brother or sister through honest self-reflection: 1. The Humility Test (John 16:13 & Acts 17:11) The Question: When clear biblical evidence exposes that an inherited church belief or holiday violates Scripture, what is your immediate response? Spirit of Truth: "Let God be true and every man a liar." You yield to the text, repent, and abandon the tradition, regardless of the personal or family cost. Spirit of Tradition: You become defensive, dismiss the study, justify church custom, or claim "God knows my heart." 2. The Obedience Test (1 John 2:3–4 & John 14:15) The Question: “Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments. He who says, ‘I know Him,’ and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.” Do you strive to obey His commandments, or do you view His law as a burden? Spirit of Truth: Obedience is your act of love and fruit of repentance. Spirit of Tradition: Uses grace as an excuse for disobedience, claiming the commandments don't apply anymore. 3. The Authority Test (Mark 7:7–9) The Question: When God's Word says one thing and your denomination or favorite preacher says another, who wins? Spirit of Truth: Scripture alone holds final authority over doctrine and daily life. Spirit of Tradition: Denominational catechisms, pastors' opinions, and family heritage overrule the text. 4. The Name Test (Matthew 1:21 & Acts 4:12) The Question: When shown that Gabriel assigned the Hebrew name Yeshua ("Yahweh is Salvation"), carrying the Father's personal redemptive signature, does your spirit leap to honor it, or do you despise its Hebrew origin? Spirit of Truth: Receives the name with reverent joy, marveling at the Father's salvation. Spirit of Tradition: Clings to familiarity and mocks or rejects the original Hebrew truth. Part 3: The Watchman’s Mandate “Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; therefore hear a word from My mouth, and give them warning from Me: When I say to the wicked, ‘You shall surely die,’ and you give him no warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life, that same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood I will require at your hand. Yet, if you warn the wicked, and he does not turn from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you have delivered your soul.” — Ezekiel 3:17–19 To the Reader: This warning is delivered to you not in hatred, but in urgent love. You have now been shown the mirror of Scripture. The difference between what God commanded and what man instituted is clear. In Romans 8:1–14, Paul sets up an absolute, binary divide. There is no middle ground or third category: a person is either governed by the mind of the flesh (sarx) or the Spirit of God (Pneuma). Paul does not frame this test around emotional experiences or external religious performance, but around dominion, mindset, and alignment with God's law. 1. The Starting Position: Condemnation vs. Freedom (vv. 1–4) What God Said: The Mosaic Law was holy and just, but it was "weakened by the flesh"—it could command righteousness, but human nature could not produce it. God fulfilled the righteous requirement of the Law by sending His Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to condemn sin in the flesh. The Mark of Having the Spirit: The believer walks "not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit" (v. 4). The law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set them free from the law of sin and death. The Contrast: The flesh is trapped under an endless cycle of command, failure, and condemnation. The Spirit produces an internal reality where the demand of God's Word is actively loved and lived out. 2. The Mindset Test: Setting the Affections (vv. 5–6) "For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace." (vv. 5–6) The Mind of the Flesh: Governed by temporal preservation, self-elevation, appetites, and autonomous human reasoning. Its ultimate end is spiritual decay and death. The Mind of the Spirit: Preoccupied with what honors God—truth, holiness, obedience, and kingdom purposes. The Test: What does the mind naturally drift toward when unrestrained? The flesh defaults to self-interest; the Spirit defaults to God's will, resulting in inner stability (life and peace). 3. The Authority Test: Hostility vs. Submission (vv. 7–8) "For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God's law; indeed, it cannot. Those who are in the flesh cannot please God." (vv. 7–8) This is the diagnostic core of Paul’s argument: The Flesh Cannot Submit: The natural human heart views God's absolute authority as an imposition or a threat to autonomy. Even when outwardly observant, it negotiates, modifies, or excuses disobedience. It is fundamentally at war with "God Said." The Inability to Please God: Good deeds, religious ceremonies, or moral philosophies done under the impulse of the flesh remain unacceptable to God because the underlying will has never surrendered. 4. The Ownership Test: The Indwelling Presence (vv. 9–11) "You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit of God dwells in you. Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him." (v. 9) Paul’s Binary Conclusion: You either possess the Spirit and belong to Christ, or you do not have the Spirit and are alien to Him. There is no category of a Christian who lacks the Spirit of Christ. The Internal Witness: If Christ is in you, the natural body remains subject to physical death because of sin, but the spirit is alive because of imputed and imparted righteousness (v. 10). The Guarantee: The same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead acts as a residing power, imparting resurrection life even to mortal bodies to walk in holiness now (v. 11). 5. The Mortification and Sonship Test (vv. 12–14) "For if you live according to the flesh you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God." (vv. 12–14) Active Mortification: Having the Spirit does not mean passive sinlessness; it means active warfare. The true believer does not coddle the flesh or make peace with compromise—they actively put to death the misdeeds of the body through the Spirit's power. Led by the Spirit: In biblical context, being "led by the Spirit" in verse 14 does not refer primarily to mystical nudges about career or life choices; it refers directly to being led away from sin and into righteousness.

Then comes the judgement 📋 The Final Appointment with God Just as man is appointed to die once, and after that to face judgment,— Hebrews 9:27 Here is the expanded, 10-question version of the test. It drives home the absolute weight of that single, unavoidable appointment with death and judgment, stripping away every possible excuse a churchgoer might use to stall. Question 1: The Timeline of Repentance Traditional church culture often conditions people to think they have plenty of time to align their lives with the truth later on. According to the absolute law of mortality, when does your opportunity to stop practicing lawlessness (anomia) permanently end? A) It extends past the grave, offering a second chance to look at the commandments. B) The exact second your physical breath stops. There are no extensions, no revisions, and no delays. Question 2: The Representation at the Throne When you stand at the judgment seat described in Hebrews 9:27, who will be standing there with you to answer for the way you lived your life? A) Your pastor, your spouse, or your church community to help explain your traditions. B) Absolutely no one. You will stand entirely alone, answering directly for whether you physically walked as He walked. Question 3: The Currency of Judgment Many churchgoers rely on their regular attendance, church titles, or good intentions as their security. When the books are opened after death, what is the ultimate standard of measurement? A) How popular your church was and how sincere your human traditions felt. B) Literal alignment with the unchanging Word of God and the physical footsteps of the Messiah (1 John 2:6). Question 4: The Delusion of "Later" If a conditioned mind looks at a clear commandment today (like the Seventh-Day Sabbath or the dietary laws) and says, "I'll look into that some other time," what are they gambling with? A) A harmless delay that grace will automatically cover. B) A sudden, unannounced arrival at their fixed appointment with death—sealing them forever in a state of unacknowledged betrayal. Question 5: The Passing Grade Fallacy Many churchgoers believe they will pass judgment because they are "better than most people" or because they don't do "the really bad sins." What does the mirror of God’s Law say about this excuse at judgment? A) God grades on a curve and compares you to the rest of the world. B) God compares you strictly to His perfect standard. Breaking even one point of the Torah makes you guilty of lawlessness. Question 6: The Pastor’s Accountability Shield If your local pastor told you from the pulpit that the Seventh-Day Sabbath was changed or that the dietary laws were done away with, whose head will that error fall on when you stand before the throne? A) The pastor will take the blame, and you will be let off the hook for just following orders. B) You will answer for your own blindness. The blind leading the blind means both fall into the ditch. Question 7: The Finality of the Closed Door In Matthew 25, the foolish virgins arrived late, knocked on the door, and cried out to be let in. What does their sudden, permanent rejection teach us about the moment after death? A) That God will eventually relent if you beg long and hard enough after you die. B) That once the door of mortality is shut, the Master's decision is final and absolute. Question 8: The Myth of the Church Altar Many rely on a past prayer, a baptism certificate, or an emotional night at a church altar as a permanent insurance policy against judgment. If that past event didn't result in a lifestyle of physical obedience, what is it worth on Judgment Day? A) It is a valid, unbreakable contract of salvation regardless of how you lived. B) It is a worthless piece of paper that proves you talked the talk but refused to walk the walk. Question 9: The "Depart from Me" Reality In Matthew 7:22-23, the people rejected by Yeshua were completely shocked. They expected a reward. What was the exact reason they were cast away on their judgment day? A) They didn't do enough church activities or build a big enough ministry. B) They practiced anomia—living a lifestyle completely detached from and opposite to God’s Torah. Question 10: The Ultimate Fear of Man If you refuse to obey the Creator's physical commandments today because you are terrified that your friends, family, or church will turn on you, what are you failing to realize about the moment of death? A) That keeping the peace with people on earth is more important than keeping the covenant. B) That every single person you are trying to please today will be completely absent from your judgment. Their opinions will mean nothing when you face the Judge. ⚖️ The Verdict Blueprint If you chose "B" for every answer: Awake to Reality. You understand that time is a luxury you do not own. You recognize that the delusion of traditional comfort will instantly vaporize the moment you close your eyes in death, leaving you alone before the Judge. If you made excuses or chose "A": Stalling in Delusion. You are currently banking on a traditional safety net that does not exist in scripture. You are treating a terrifying, fixed appointment like an optional meeting. "Boast not thyself of tomorrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth." — Proverbs 27:1 The clock is ticking down to your appointment. Drop the church excuses, face the mirror, and align your walk with the Messiah before your time runs out. This diagnostic test uses the same direct, mirroring method. It contrasts the common theological defenses used to excuse a lawless lifestyle with the stark, uncompromised warnings found throughout the scriptures. 📋 The "Profession vs. Walk" Mirror Test Instructions: Answer these 4 direct questions honestly based on the everyday choices, priorities, and scriptural claims of the modern believer you are evaluating. Question 1: The Definition of Deception If this person reads the warning in James 1:22 ("Be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves"), how do they reconcile their own lifestyle? A) They recognize that "doing the Word" means physically mimicking the obedience, Sabbaths, and righteousness of the Messiah, viewing any other path as self-deception. B) They believe that mentally agreeing with theology or sitting in a pew satisfies the text, using "grace" to redefine a hearer as a doer. Question 2: The Fruit of Knowing Him According to 1 John 2:4, "The man who says, 'I know Him,' but does not do what He commands is a liar, and the truth is not in him." When confronted with the actual commandments Christ kept (the Torah), how does this person respond? A) They acknowledge that to know Him is to obey the same instructions He obeyed, striving for total alignment with His walk. B) They claim they "know Him" through an emotional connection or a past prayer, dismissing His actual commands as an outdated yoke meant only for a bygone era. Question 3: The True Measure of Love When Jesus says, "If you love me, keep my commandments," and John reinforces it in 1 John 5:3 ("For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments"), what does "love" look like in this person's life? A) Love is treated as a binding action of physical obedience to the Father's established instructions and statutes. B) Love is treated as a subjective feeling, a sentimental vibe, or an internal emotion that requires no adherence to a biblical calendar, diet, or Sabbath. Question 4: The Reality of Coming Judgment Scripture states in John 3:36 that "anyone who doesn't obey the Son will never experience eternal life but will remain under God's angry judgment." Knowing that the Son explicitly warned in Matthew 5:17–19 that not a single jot or tittle would pass from the Law, how does this person view the final accounting? A) They realize that the Son commands an active turn away from lawlessness (sin) and toward the Torah, making repentance a physical U-turn in behavior. B) They assume their confession shields them from any requirement to obey, believing the Son "fulfilled" the Law so that they are free to ignore it without facing consequences. The Scoring Key: Look back at the boxes checked. If the answers lean toward B, the mirror reveals a sobering truth: it is impossible to claim the destination of the Savior while walking in the exact opposite direction.
