"Yeshua did not proclaim any other/new way of salvation, not Christianity, "
Craig, you've been on my mind and in my heart as I see in the spirit a tug of war for your soul. A certain terror fell upon me for your soul. I can see Satan trying to tear you from the simple Gospel of our Lord Jesus. The Holy Spirit is obviously doing a work in your life, but Satan is also busy trying to destroy this work. May the Holy Spirit open your eyes to the truth according to the sincerity of your heart.
These Scriptures came to my heart as I meditated on your words.
(Righteousness by faith and not by the works of the law.)
Gal.3
1.Of foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that you should not obey the truth....2...Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
Gal.2
21.I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.
Rom.10
4.For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.
....
17.So then faith cometh by hearing(believing), and hearing by the word of God.
-------------------------------
(In Christ, we are justified by faith without the deeds of the law)
Rom. 3
20: Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
21: But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;
22: Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
.........
27: Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.
28: Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.

(The righteouness of Abraham was by faith and not by the works of the law)
Rom.4
2: For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God.
3: For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.
4: Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.
5: But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
6: Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousnesswithout works,

Rom.6
14. For sin shall not have dominion over you; for ye are not under the law, but under Grace.
--------
Rom. 8
9.But ye are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. |
