Faith Alone

FAITH ALONE?

Let's

Reason

from

the

Scriptures



[pw = pagan word translation]

This article -last updated 23-07-17. Please note, like most of our articles, this article has the pagan words substitutedFor more see "Sunday Worship Terms". We also do not agree with the use of "Christ", "God" "Jesus" etc which are all corruption of the true names. see His Name

Whilst it may be a bit confusing at first to try and read this article in this way, it is imperative that we show the pure words for a better understanding since the Catholic Latin translation has corrupted the scriptures. As seen in the cartoon "Fides" is used; the goddess "Faith" which has nothing to do with the pure Hebrew word "emunah" meaning "moral conviction". If you are new to this revelation, simply read the words you are familiar with at first by focusing on those in the brackets ie. (pw word) and ignore the preceding pure word. Later you can re-read the article taking note of the pure words for a better uncorrupted understanding.


Just a heads up - people often jump to the conclusion that one is a Catholic when one denies the Lutherian doctrine of  "Faith Alone" This however is a mistaken presumption. We will see that the apostles themselves denied a "Faith Alone" doctrine and they certainly were not Catholic and neither are we. The "works" of the Catholic church, including her sisters, the Protestants, are Torahless. They are not "works of righteousness." So we do not endorse those dead works of the Catholic church whatsoever!

Let's Kick off with a simple exercise by asking some questions:

Which statement is most true concerning salvation ?

We are justified (saved ) by:

A) Favor (pw Grace)

B) Moral conviction (pw Faith)

C) Dead Works

D) Good Works

E) Moral conviction (pw Faith) and Favor (pw Grace)

F) Moral conviction (pw Faith) Favor (pw Grace) and Good works

Let's look at some scripture (pw bible) verses to consider each of these six options.

A) Favor (pw Grace)

An option the scripture (pw bible) supports.
Peter says

Ac:15:11: But we believe that through the favor (pw Grace) of the Master (pw Lord) Yah'uah (pw the LORD) Yah'ushua (pw Jesus) Mashiak (pw Christ) we shall be saved, even as they.

Eph:2:5: Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Mashiak (pw Christ), (by favour (pw Grace) ye are saved;)

B) Moral conviction (pw Faith)

An option also supported by the scripture (pw bible) :


Ga:3:23: But before moral conviction (pw Faith) came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the moral conviction (pw Faith) which should afterwards be revealed.

Ga:3:24: Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Mashiak (pw Christ), that we might be justified by moral conviction (pw Faith).

Ga:3:25: But after that moral conviction (pw Faith) is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.

Ro:3:28: Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by moral conviction (pw Faith) without the deeds of the law.

Heb:4:2: For unto us was the good message (pw gospel/God spell) preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with moral conviction (pw Faith) in them that heard it.

( This moral conviction (pw Faith) was needed to believe the good message (pw gospel/God spell) preached in the everlasting covenant (pw old testament) as well as the good message (pw gospel/God spell) preached in the renewed covenant (pw new testament) )

C) Dead works

The scripture (pw bible) does not support this option.

Heb:6:1: Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Mashiak (pw Christ), let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of moral conviction (pw Faith) toward Elohim (pw God),

Heb:9:14: How much more shall the blood of Mashiak (pw Christ), who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to Elohim (pw God), purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living Elohim (pw God)?

D) Good Works

The scripture (pw bible) supports this option.

Jas:2:14: What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath Moral conviction (pw Faith),and have not works? can moral conviction (pw Faith) save him?

Jas:2:21-24: Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? Seest thou how moral conviction (pw Faith) wrought with his works, and by works was moral conviction (pw Faith) made perfect? And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed Elohim (pw God), and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of Elohim (pw God).
Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by moral conviction (pw Faith) only.

Eph:2:10: For we are his workmanship, created in Mashiak (pw Christ) Yah'ushua (pw Jesus) unto good works, which Elohim (pw God) hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

And Paul writing with Timothy confirms not only that works are part of salvation but that you yourself specifically are responsible to know what must be obeyed. He does not use the words Mashiak (pw Christ) ALONE.

Ph'p:2:12: Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.

2Tm:3:17: That the man of Elohim (pw God) may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.

Ti:2:7: In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works:in doctrine shewing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity,

Ti:2:14: Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity,
 and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.

Ti:3:8: This is a morally trustworthy (pw Faith)ful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly,
that they which have believed in Elohim (pw God) might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men.

Ti:3:14: And let ours also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they be not unfruitful.


Heb:10:24: And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:


Re:22:12: And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.

E) Moral conviction (pw Faith) and Favor (pw Grace)


The scripture (pw bible) supports this option

Eph:2:8: For by Favor (pw Grace) are ye saved through moral conviction (pw Faith); and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of Elohim (pw God):

F) Moral conviction (pw Faith) Favor (pw Grace) and Good Works

Yes the scripture (pw bible) supports this option as well since it supported moral conviction (pw Faith), Favor (pw Grace) and Good Works. So F is the only correct answer out of these options but these options A-F are not the entire story of salvation!
The purpose of this exercise was to highlight the following error in congregation pagan “church” teaching. When I questioned so-callled believers on this I received what I expected. They opted for A) Favor (pw Grace) and even added the word alone. Many of you might have chosen the option “ moral conviction (pw Faith)” also succumbing to the idea of moral conviction (pw Faith) alone thus leaving no room for the real truth. Where did this slogan for example “by Faith Alone" come from. Is it something that you have heard and automatically accepted without checking the word of Elohim (pw God)? Who are the authors of such a doctrine that add the word ALONE and thereby exclude the rest of Elohim (pw God)’s doctrine?
Well I think we need to go back all the way to the fifteen hundreds. Lets go back to the beginning, the “root” of the Protestant congregation (pw church) -Martin Luther a Protestant Reformer was guilty of such a deed.
When the good message (pw gospel/God spell) is changed or oversimplified it is simply being rewritten. The standard among a true scriptural (pw bible)-believer (Yahudi - worshiper of Yah(uah) is:

2Tm:3:16: All scripture is given by inspiration of Elohim (pw God), and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

Now while
the so-called Reformer of Protestantism Martin Luther claimed Sola Scriptura he did not practice what he preached as we shall see.

In the translation of his German scripture (pw bible) he added the word “ALONE”

Now we know from history who else added words to the word of Elohim (pw God) causing dire consequences- his name was Satan the serpent who added one word to Elohim (pw God)’s word.
Elohim (pw God) said:

Ge:2:17: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

The word that Satan added was “NOT”

Ge:3:4: And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: 

One word created the biggest lie.Now Martin Luther added the word “ALONE” to this verse:

Ro:3:28: Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by moral conviction (pw Faith) without the deeds of the law. 

So as to read

Ro:3:28: Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by moral conviction (pw Faith) alone without the deeds of the law.


...Martin Luther would once again emphasize...that we are "justified by Faith alone", apart from the works of the Law" (Rom. 3:28), adding the German word allein ("alone")martin luther in his translation of the Greek text. There is certainly a trace of Marcion in Luther's move “ 
(Brown HOJ. Heresies: Heresy and Orthodoxy in the History of the congregation (pw church). Hendrickson Publishers, Peabody (MA), 1988, pp. 64-65). 

Martin Luther’s attitude was not Sola Scriptura (the scripture alone)
 In fact Luther stated: 

"You tell me what a great fuss the Papists are making because the word alone is not in the text of Paul…say right out to him: 'Dr. Martin Luther will have it so,'…I will have it so, and I order it to be so, and my will is reason enough. I know very well that the word 'alone' is not in the Latin or the Greek text
(Stoddard J. Rebuilding a Lost Moral conviction (pw Faith). 1922, pp. 101-102; see also Luther M. Amic. Discussion, 1, 127).

It is clear that Martin Luther changed the word of Elohim (pw God) to fit in with his own idea of salvation which makes it a self righteous one and of dead works rather than according to the righteousness, good works of Elohim (pw God). He even declared that the Epistle of James was an epistle of straw and why would that be? Well James opposed those who said we are justified by moral conviction (pw Faith) alone and said

Jas:2:24: Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by moral conviction (pw Faith) only.

Martin Luther obviously saw himself as a higher authority than the apostle James just as the catholic/Mashiak (pw Christ)ian “congregation (pw church) fathers” who have added other words and ideas to the scriptures such as the trinity abomination (for more see Why  Jesus is not God)

Now I hope this has encouraged you to further study how we are saved since the multiple choice options I supplied were not exhaustive. The scripture (pw bible) has all the details on how we are saved. It is not summed up by merely two words such as Moral conviction (pw Faith) Alone, Favor (pw Grace) Alone not even Yah'ushua (pw Jesus) Alone. How can I say such a thing- this is simply because the Re-New-ed covenant and for that matter any covenant consists of at least two parties.  The Renewed Covenant is an upgrade to the Everlasting Covenant made between Yah’uah (party 1) and Abraham (party 2) promised to a thousand generations (many other future parties to covenant with party 1).

So what about adding another option in our multiple choice, option G?

YOU AND Mashiak (pw Christ)

In this case. If it were Mashiak (pw Christ) alone where would your part be in this covenant agreement? You see I can say it is by my vehicle alone that I get to work. That may be true but it is also false. I have to fill that vehicle up with fuel. Now lets say Elohim (pw God) has supplied the vehicle and the fuel, so it is by his Favor (pw Grace) that I drive to work but if I do not know how to fill the vehicle, what grade of fuel to use, do not know how to drive or do not obey the rules of the road then I am in serious trouble. I would sit on the side walk every day declaring it is by Mashiak (pw Christ) alone that I get to work but I never actually get to work. I never come to a full understanding of what I am supposed to do with the gift of Favor (pw Grace) ( the vehicle and fuel in this case). You see those who say Yah'ushua (pw Jesus) does it all are deceived. No Yah'ushua (pw Jesus) DID it all and in so doing he provided the tools, knowledge and support (Favor (pw Grace)) for us to walk in his ways. We must respond and do it with his Favor (pw Grace) and kindness (pw mercy). In fact the first part of favour is just that it is a gift to us without merit from the Father and the second definition of favour is the gratitude or thanksgiving response by us with obedience in return to the Father. Only then is the definition and purpose of favour complete.

Col:2:6: As ye have therefore received Mashiak (pw Christ) Yah'ushua (pw Jesus) the Master (pw Lord) Yah'uah (pw the LORD), so walk ye in him:

Now I could have added this as an option in our multiple choice exercise:

We are (justified ) saved by

-Doctrine

And the scripture (pw bible) indeed says yes to this as well!

2Jo:1:9: Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Mashiak (pw Christ), hath not Elohim (pw God). He that abideth in the doctrine of Mashiak (pw Christ), he hath both the Father and the Son.

Now we ask what is doctrine?

Ti:2:7: In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine shewing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity,

aha- so it is defined as one of the GOOD works as opposed to the dead works which cannot save.

Jas:1:21: Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.

The engrafted word is what ? The word of Elohim (pw God) implanted in the believer.

Heb:10:16: This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Master (pw Lord) Yah'uah (pw the LORD), I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;

Now do you see how the covenant involves a number of things- It at least involves six things in this description: 1)You, 2)Mashiak (pw Christ), 3)Yah’uah’s laws, 4)your mind and 5)your heart and yes 6) the engrafting of his laws. So we are not saved by any one thing alone. The word “ALONE” has no room in a covenant. It is a relationship it is not ALONE. You were alone, separated from Elohim (pw God) when you did not know Elohim (pw God) and His Son. It was sin the made us ALONE. Yah’ushua was forsaken by the Father and ALONE for a moment when he took our sin upon himself. Before you were saved you went around doing your own thing- yes ALONE.

So we can safely say that we are saved by the reformed laws of Elohim (pw God), (without circumcision and atonement by animal blood offering) those that are engrafted in our hearts and minds once we make covenant with him rather than those which merely brought us to him as a schoolmaster. We are now qualified in the profession and we now love to serve. We are not students of the law but now we practice and teach Mashiak (pw Christ)’s reformed law, the law free of the ceremonial/sacrificial law which Mashiak (pw Christ) fulfilled as the true sacrifice once and for all.
Heb:10:1: For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those offerings (pw sacrifices) which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.

Heb:10:12: But this man, after he had offered one offering (pw sacrifice ) for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of Elohim (pw God);

He now says

Joh:15:10: If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.

Justification versus PurificationPlease note which commandments we are to keep? Elohim (pw God) the Father’s commandments. Do not think that the Son came to put to death the commandments of his Father like some rebellious son rebelling in shamayim (pw heaven) as the “church” propaganda of Satan teaches. Note the commandments did not purge us from sin just as Paul said in fact we were cursed by them since they carried the barak (pw blessing) if obeyed but the curses if they were not obeyed. But since justification is only the beginning of our salvation with those curses removed because of our past ignorant sin we now need to keep (not discard) the engrafted commandments and thereby continue to abide in him. Remember if you do not continue abiding in Mashiak (pw Christ) then you have fallen from Favor (pw Grace). Immediately some of you will quote this verse

Ga:5:4: Mashiak (pw Christ) is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from favour (pw Grace).

Please note that Paul has been used out of context to a large degree in Galatians. The law that is being discussed there is the law of circumcision in the Jewish religion as a requirement( or more importantly a sign) of salvation and requirement to enter synagogue regardless of whether Tor’ah is actually being kept as intended by our Father. It it not referring to the Tor’ah law placed in our hearts and minds in the covenant with Mashiak (pw Christ). It refers to the old covenant with every ceremonial/offering (pw sacrifice) requirement and with the curse added. Many use this verse in error to justify why they do not obey Elohim (pw God)’s commandments-because they will be cursed if they try to obey it. By saying you are cursed under Elohim (pw God)’s law as a believer means you are denying that Mashiak (pw Christ) put the curse to death. But by obeying the reformed, magnified and honorable law under the covenant you are free of the curse and it is not burdensome but light. It consists of the Moral law summarized according to Paul as follows:

Ro:13:9: For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

Neither does Hebrews contradict Paul and if it did it would be Paul contradicting himself as he is believed to be the author:

Heb:10:26: For if we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more offering (pw sacrifice) for sins,

Now before we continue- the word sin by definition in the scripture (pw bible) is transgression of the law and also not doing that which one knows is good. So if we willfully don’t do good works and willfully break Elohim (pw God)'s law Favor (pw Grace) runs out!! So by doing good works and obeying the commandments Favor (pw Grace) does not run out and we remain saved. So good works and obeying the commandments under Mashiak (pw Christ)’s Favor (pw Grace) maintains our salvation. So good works and the reformed law assist our salvation but not without Mashiak (pw Christ) working in us. They keep us saved but they did not initially and primarily save us - it was Mashiak (pw Christ)’s death first which saved and paid for us from a debt we could never pay or otherwise recover from.

Ro:5:8: But Elohim (pw God) commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Mashiak (pw Christ) died for us.

To continue

Heb:10:27-28: But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries. He that despised Moses' law died without kindness (pw mercy) under two or three witnesses:

Dying without kindness (pw mercy) means –they had fallen from Favor (pw Grace)

Heb:10:29: Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of Elohim (pw God), and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was purified (pw purified), an unset apart (pw set apart (pw holy)) thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of Favor (pw Grace)?

We see that while Favor (pw Grace) is a great gift once it is accepted, if despised it comes with an even greater punishment than the old covenant law breaking.

One only wonders as to what error Martin Luther’s false Favor (pw Grace) teaching contributed to Hitler’s later support. You see Martin Luther was not subject to the law –“thou shalt not kill” Elohim (pw God) forbid that would be a curse in his eyes. No he was under the oppressive law of so-called"Faith Alone "and with that he could rather curse the Jews. He could easily teach the people:

...to burn down Jewish schools and synagogues, and to throw pitch and sulfur into the flames; to destroy their homes; to confiscate their ready money in gold and silver; to take from them their sacred books, even the whole scripture (pw bible); and if that did not help matters, to hunt them of the country like mad dogs”

(Luther’s Works, vol. Xx, pp. 2230-2632 as quoted in Stoddard JL. Rebuilding a Lost Moral conviction (pw Faith), 1922, p.99).

Accordingly, it must and dare not be considered a trifling matter but a most serious one to seek
counsel against this and to save our souls from the Jews, that is, from the devil and from eternal death.
My advice, as I said earlier, is: First, that their synagogues be burned down, and that all who are able toss in sulphur and pitch”

(Martin Luther (1483-1546): On the Jews and Their Lies, 1543 as quoted from Luther's Works, Volume 47:
The Mashiak (pw Christ)ian in Society IV, (Philadelphia: Fortress Press, 1971). pp 268­293).

Mashiak (pw Christ) can only be of no effect to a sinner and even to a believer if his sacrifice is despised or ignored and the ceremonial law is enforced. But not if Mashiak (pw Christ)’s blood offering (pw sacrifice) is accepted and his Father’s commandments are obeyed. Circumcision itself would not even be a sin while Mashiak (pw Christ)'s blood has been received as purification (pw sanctification) else Paul would not have had a believer circumcised then would he? Do not let anyone deceive you!

Martin Luther was deceived and I think blasphemous when he taught such doctrines that form the basis of the propaganda satanic congregation (pw church) system. The following forms the basis of many evangelicals' blasphemous teachings today. 

Be a sinner, and sin boldly, but believe more boldly still. Sin shall not drag us away from Him, even should we commit fornication or murder thousands and thousands of times a day”
(Luther, M. Letter of August 1, 1521 as quoted in Stoddard, p.93).

The false congregation (pw church) will and already has first oversimplified salvation, slowly doing away with Elohim (pw God)’s commandments, making their own commandments so they can sin all the more.
Re:18:7: How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.

Joh:15:10: If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.

Mashiak (pw Christ) fulfilled the ceremonial offering (pw sacrifice) purging our past sins with his blood and we therefore symbolically fulfill or live out the ceremonial law as it were in a new and living way as living offering (pw sacrifices) obeying Elohim (pw God)’s law written in our hearts and minds and not on stone.

Ro:12:1: I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the kindnesses (pw mercies) of Elohim (pw God), that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, set apart (pw holy), acceptable unto Elohim (pw God), which is your reasonable service.

Note, “set apart” (pw holy) is the same word used in the ceremonial law – (hagios) -to be ceremonially pure

Heb:10:19-20 Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Yah'ushua (pw Jesus), By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;

Heb:10:23: Let us hold fast the
profession of our moral conviction (pw Faith) without wavering; (for he is moral conviction (pw Faith)ful that promised;)

M't:5:19: Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of shamayim (pw heaven): but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of shamayim (pw heaven).

Now we see the temptation of oversimplification of Elohim (pw God)’s work in salvation already being offered here:
M't:4:3-4 And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of Elohim (pw God), command that these stones be made bread.

It is to me like a parable here as if Mashiak (pw Christ) is very clearly rebuking the false worldly doctrine of salvation itself, that quick fix that appears to ease a world hunger but only for a season since it compromises the truth. Mashiak (pw Christ) rebukes Satan.

M't:4:4: But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of Elohim (pw God).

He opposes the word ALONE with the word EVERY. The obvious simple choice would have been for Yah'ushua (pw Jesus) to turn the stones to bread to relieve his hunger. Satan used the concept of bread ALONE as a simple easy way out –trying to distract Mashiak (pw Christ) from the converse of ALL he had to do according to Elohim (pw God)’s word. The law and the prophets, and Elohim (pw God) the Father were all depending on Mashiak (pw Christ)’s real mission-overcoming Satan and ALL his powers and principalities by his death on the persecution stake (pw cross).

Likewise Mashiak (pw Christ) says to us
Re:2:26: And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations:

So in our multiple choice we could have added- we are saved if we overcome through Mashiak (pw Christ) of course AND to the end. Salvation is not sealed with a good start a church propaganda so-called “sinner’s prayer” followed by Martin Luther’s idea of continuous wretched sin, it is how you finish and that is by keeping Yah’uah’s works to the end.

There is no easy simple sinner’s prayer and then you have your ticket to shamayim (pw heaven)!. No it is also overcoming sin thereafter and that is how Favor (pw Grace) must CONTINUE to operate in SAVING us.
Heb:4:16: Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of Favor (pw Grace), that we may obtain mercy, and find Favor (pw Grace) to help in time of need.

The question is what is the need and did the need only arise once when we said a so-called “sinner’s prayer”. The previous verse answers that
Heb:4:15: For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.

The help is against temptation to sin and it is ongoing help as there is ongoing temptation : “tempted like as we are” are is continuous tense.
Again is it Favor (pw Grace) alone? No, it is us having to respond to the favour by coming to the throne and it is us seeking the Favor (pw Grace) in time of need on a continuing basis.

If you do not have knowledge of what justifies you (renders you innocent) then you will not see the need for the Favor (pw Grace) (gift) of help or the need for repentance and will still be condemned.

Here is a last sobering option to add to our multiple choice one that is often forgotten.
-Our words can save us!

M't:12:37: For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.

(This has nothing to do with the blasphemous “word of Faith movement” of
so called positive thinking or positive talking to magically get the lusts of your desires)

We need Favor (pw Grace) to control our idle words or else we will be condemned. Idle words could include those who say “moral conviction (pw Faith) alone” and lead others astray.

Yah'ushua (pw Jesus) said what words will condemn a man:

M't:12:32: And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the set apart (pw holy) Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.


The set apart (pw holy) spirit speaks truth. Speaking lies would be speaking against him. Rejecting his comfort to obey Elohim (pw God) and saying we cant keep the commandments-could that be speaking against him? Saying his commands are evil? Remember it is a covenant: Mashiak (pw Christ) AND you. You have a responsibility.
Do not despise Yah'ushua (pw Jesus) Mashiak (pw Christ)’s sacrifice. Lets repent of our wrongful ways and pray for Favor (pw Grace) in time of need.

When Satan comes to oversimplify your Salvation
He may tempt you to justify yourself in
sinning freely and repeatedly.
He may whisper lies in your ear

you shall live by Favor (pw Grace)
ALONE

What will you reply? –

No!


I live by
EVERY
word that proceedeth
out of the mouth of Elohim (pw God).

I therefore conclude that if salvation could be summed up in two words
Favor (pw Grace) ALONE
Or
Moral conviction (pw Faith) ALONE
Or Love ALONE
Or Even
Yah'ushua (pw Jesus) ALONE
Then that would be the word of Elohim (pw God)
Just two words!
but
It AIN’T
Start reading your scripture (pw bible) from beginning to end
And “work out your own salvation”
as long as you live
according to Elohim (pw God)’s WORD
not by the word of man.
