Why Jesus could not condemn the Woman who was caught in the very act of adultery?

[God's Truth]

I know this is going to be above a lot of people heads but not all. Here it goes.

Christ had not yet die, when he told the women in his “Humanity” “neither do I”. “the New Testament” had not come into existence. It had to be “Ratified”. By the death of “The Tester” before it could be valid .

No to what you said.
Jesus came to teach the New Covenant, the Last Will and Testament. Then, like all Testaments/Covenants, it went into force after Jesus died.

 

[God's Truth]

What is that New Covenant?

Do you not know?

I had shared this with you earlier but maybe you will see His words better when you find the scripture to copy & paste it here in reply as this New Covenant is God telling us what He will do and all He really asks from us is to believe Him.

Do you really believe that all the scriptures where Jesus teaches us how to be saved, how to be a child of God, how to receive his Spirit, how to enter the kingdom...is all NULLIFIED by the scriptures that tell us to believe?

No way, for we do have to believe that we have to believe everything he says and to obey him, all his teachings.

 

[GodB4Us]

The Apostles were with Jesus when He Ascended, they did not get the Baptism immediatly after. So try that again, please

At Pentecost they did for why Jesus told them to wait.

One more time, brother and may God draw your attention to this again for only He can cause the increase.

Hebrews 8:10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people: 11 And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest. 12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more. 13 In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.

Now list all the things the Lord said He will do in that covenant.

Now list all the things that man "said" he will do in that covenant. Can't find any? Why is that? Because God is going to do it all.

So what is He asking you to do? Believe Him as a child would in taking Him at His word. See?

Have you considered what you are sharing in regards to the fate of your loved ones? I believe their spirits are with the Lord in Heaven regardless of Catholicism because they have been bought with a price and sealed as His since believing in Him.

2 Corinthians 5:1For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.

2 For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven:

3 If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked.

4 For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life.

5 Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit.

6 Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord:

7 (For we walk by faith, not by sight

8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.

So regardless if a believer is not abiding in Him, their spirits are with the Lord in Heaven for when they die. They may not participate in the first fruits of the resurrection, but they have been bought with a price and sealed as His as that Holy spirit, even grieved, is not going anywhere.

9 Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him. 10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. 11 Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences.

Ephesians 4:30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.

1 Peter 3:15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear: 16 Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ.

So, you do not want to give an answer to edify others and not just me, regarding that parable?

Then why are you here at all? Since any answers you have been giving, isn't exactly given to believers likeminded with you, right?

Since you have been answering in "sport" of others, then be a good sport for the Lord & answer anyway for others that may be likeminded with you in reading this. Otherwise, you come across to them, and not just me, as if you have no answer.

But hey. Do whatever you want, but make sure your lack thereof is really for the Lord.

Colossians 3:16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. 17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.

See what the Lord led me to do here below?

Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised 24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: 25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

So feel free to share what Jesus is talking about in Matthew 25:1-13 or don't, in representing Him in the forum at "Talk Jesus".

An Explanation

10And the disciples came and said to Him, “Why do You speak to them in parables?” 11And He answered and said to them, “To you it has been granted to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has NOT been granted. 12“For whoever has, to him shall more be given, and he shall have an abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has shall be taken away from him. 13“Therefore I speak to them in “PARABLES”because while seeing they do not see, and while hearing they do not HEAR, nor do they understand. 14“And in their case the prophecy of Isaiah is being “FULFILLED”, which says,
‘YOU WILL KEEP ON HEARING, BUT WILL NOT UNDERSTAND;
AND YOU WILL KEEP ON SEEING, BUT WILL NOT PERCEIVE;

Well, neither shall I say more on that “Text” of “Scripture”.

Quick and short “Lecture” written in a letter to The Hebrews. The writer might been Paul, or “Barnabas” or maybe “Apollos” but one thing for sure they said; he was “master” of the “Greek Language” of his day. Even the pre- Christian Greek Translation of the “OT” the “Septuagint” which I read that too, over 40 years ago.

Here we go, “to him that have, shall more be given”

“Intent of the Law”

15Brothers and sisters, I speak in terms of human relations: eventhough it is only a man’s covenant, yet when it has been RATIFIED, no one sets it aside or adds conditions to it. 16Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. He does not say, “And to seeds,” as one would in referring to many, but rather as in referring to one, “And to your seed,” that is, Christ. 17What I am saying is this: the Law, which came 430 years later, does not invalidate a covenant previously “RATIFIED” by God, so as to nullify the promise. 18For if the inheritance is [y]based on law, it is no longer[z]based on a promise; but God has granted it to Abraham by means of a promise.

19Why the Law then? It was addedon account of the [aa]violations, having been ordered throughangels at the hand of a [ab]mediator, until the Seed would come to whom the promise had been made. 20Now a mediator is not [ac]for one party only; but God is only one. 21Is the Law thencontrary to the promises of God? [ad]Far from it! For if a law had been given that was able to impart life, then righteousness [ae]would indeed have been [af]based on law.22But the Scripture has confined[ag]everyone under sin, so that the promise by faith in Jesus Christmight be given to those who believe.

23But before faith came, [ah]we were kept in custody under the Law, being confined for the faiththat was destined to be revealed.24Therefore the Law has becomeour [ai]guardian to lead us to Christ, so that we may be justified by faith”

'Brethren, I speak after the manner of men;
Though it be but a man's covenant,
yet if it be confirmed, no man disannulleth, or addeth thereto.
Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made.
He saith not, And to seeds, as of many;
but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.
And this I say, that the covenant,
that was confirmed before of God in Christ,
the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after,
cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect.
For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise:
but God gave it to Abraham by promise.
Wherefore then serveth the law?
It was added because of transgressions,
till the seed should come to whom the promise was made;
and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.
Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is one.
Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid:
for if there had been a law given which could have given life,
verily righteousness should have been by the law.
But the scripture hath concluded all under sin,
that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.
But before faith came, we were kept under the law,
shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.
Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ,
that we might be justified by faith.'

It is a last will and Testament because Jesus is a man, and the Testament is a Covenant because Jesus is God.

Jesus came and taught us how to be a child of God, an heir. Do you know that?

Jesus taught us what as an heir will receive.

Then Jesus died and the Testament/Covenant went into force.

She was “guilty” a stone sinner even before she “committed” adultery. And on her way to hell! Her and those religious Rulers! And Jesus had not died yet! The New Covenant had not been yet been “Ratified”!
He might have not have condemn her for adultery, what about the other stuff? He might have said: I forgive you. But, he told that “Thief” on the cross; “Today I tell you, you shall be with me in “Paradise”!
“Ratification” was on “The Cross” and The blood was beginning to run down. “Thy Kingdom Come”, Prophecy is being fulfilled right before their eyes. “The Death of “The Death of The Tester” Ushering in a “New Testament”.

One more time, brother and may God draw your attention to this again for only He can cause the increase.

Hebrews 8:10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people: 11 And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest. 12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more. 13 In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.

That is about receiving the Holy Spirit in the New Testament, New Covenant.

Now list all the things the Lord said He will do in that covenant.

Now list all the things that man "said" he will do in that covenant. Can't find any? Why is that? Because God is going to do it all.

Jesus tells us exactly how to be saved and what we are to do.



We are blessed by becoming a family member and friend if we do what Jesus says.


Luke 11:28 He replied, "Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it."

Matthew 12:50 For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother."

John 15:14 You are my friends if you do what I command.

John 8:31 Then Jesus said to those Judeans who had believed him, "If you continue to follow my teaching, you are really my disciples

So what is He asking you to do? Believe Him as a child would in taking Him at His word. See?

You are badly mistake. We have to do what Jesus says to do, his words are Spirit and life.

 

[GodB4Us]

I understand PloughBoy. And for myself sometimes it is like being in a class room in college, as he goes into such depth that many can not comprehend .

He is trying to teach and share . But because so many here do not bother with the fulness of scripture and history, it is darn near impossible to get any points across.

Knowledge and wisdom and understanding come from God.

As i stated somewhere. There are levels of scripture. Some take it at face value, the literary Word. And others who delve into the Word at great length

@PloughBoy comes across as someone that does not actually care to teach. So regardless of being deep, if he does not apply scripture in rightly dividing the word of truth, then how is any of his "deep" post done in "humor" as supposedly teaching when it is at the other's expense? And you had acknowledged this also as deep humor going over my head, did you not?

How far can one dive with out a deep diving suit:

That means that most people can dive up to a maximum of 60 feet safely. For most swimmers, a depth of 20 feet (6.09 metres) is the most they will free dive. Experienced divers can safely dive to a depth of 40 feet (12.19 metres) when exploring underwater reefs”

Deep diving suits:

How deep can a human dive with a pressure suit? An atmospheric diving suit allows very deep dives of up to 2,000 feet (610 m). These suits are capable of withstanding the pressure at great depth permitting the diver to remain at normal

Well, neither shall I say more on that “Text” of “Scripture”.

Are you sure you are rightly dividing the word of truth there in casting that as a judgment? Let us look at your reference in context to see if you are rightly dividing the word of truth from that reference.

Please note how Jesus had already told them the parable before His disciples came up to ask Him for why He spoke in parables. After He answered them why He spoke in parables, why did He bother to explain the parable to His disciples afterwards if how you applied His words to mean was true thus judging His disciples as not being able to hear and see?

Matthew 13:3 And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow; 4 And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up: 5 Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth: 6 And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away. 7 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them: 8 But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold. 9 Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

10 And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables? 11 He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given. 12 For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath. 13 Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand. 14 And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive: 15 For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them. 16 But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear. 17 For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.

18 Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.

19 When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side. 20 But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it; 21 Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended. 22 He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful. 23 But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.

Now I have shown by the scriptures that you are wrong to judge believers for asking to explain the parable as if they are blind and deaf when Jesus did bother to explain the parable of the sower to His disciples afterwards.

Also, it is not wrong to ask the Lord for wisdom as if applying your judgment means one should not bother to ask if we do not get it.

James 1:5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. 6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. 7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. 8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.

I understand the parable of the sower thanks to Him. Out of the four, only one did not receive the seed ( Christ ) for why they were not saved. The two others out of the four got saved but either fell away not rooted in His words, or allowed the worries of the world to choke the word for why they were not fruitful, but they are still saved because they have received the seed, hence Christ. Only one out of the four were fruitful as saved believers in being His disciples.

I had asked you to explain the parable of the ten virgins after I had shared my understanding of it only because I suspect you are reading it differently and was applying it differently from how I was reading & applying it to mean. But if you do not wish to do that, I understand if it is because you do not understand it.

However, if you do understand it, then do what Jesus did even for His disciples in explaining the parable of the sower or continue to judge me wrongly as if I cannot hear, but you should know it is on God to cause the increase.

Quick and short “Lecture” written in a letter to The Hebrews. The writer might been Paul, or “Barnabas” or maybe “Apollos” but one thing for sure they said; he was “master” of the “Greek Language” of his day. Even the pre- Christian Greek Translation of the “OT” the “Septuagint” which I read that too, over 40 years ago.

Here we go, “to him that have, shall more be given”

“Intent of the Law”

15Brothers and sisters, I speak in terms of human relations: eventhough it is only a man’s covenant, yet when it has been RATIFIED, no one sets it aside or adds conditions to it. 16Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. He does not say, “And to seeds,” as one would in referring to many, but rather as in referring to one, “And to your seed,” that is, Christ. 17What I am saying is this: the Law, which came 430 years later, does not invalidate a covenant previously “RATIFIED” by God, so as to nullify the promise. 18For if the inheritance is [y]based on law, it is no longer[z]based on a promise; but God has granted it to Abraham by means of a promise.

19Why the Law then? It was addedon account of the [aa]violations, having been ordered throughangels at the hand of a [ab]mediator, until the Seed would come to whom the promise had been made. 20Now a mediator is not [ac]for one party only; but God is only one. 21Is the Law thencontrary to the promises of God? [ad]Far from it! For if a law had been given that was able to impart life, then righteousness [ae]would indeed have been [af]based on law.22But the Scripture has confined[ag]everyone under sin, so that the promise by faith in Jesus Christmight be given to those who believe.

23But before faith came, [ah]we were kept in custody under the Law, being confined for the faiththat was destined to be revealed.24Therefore the Law has becomeour [ai]guardian to lead us to Christ, so that we may be justified by faith”

Here is why the Book of Hebrews was written by Paul as led by the Holy Spirit.

Nobody else refers to the race as abstaining from living in sin, but Paul.

Hebrews 12:1Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, 2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

1 Corinthians 9:24 Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. 25 And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible. 26 I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air: 27 But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.

Then there is that reference to Timothy as his travelling companion in the ministry in Hebrews for why the author has to be from Paul as led by the Holy Spirit.

Hebrews 13:22 And I beseech you, brethren, suffer the word of exhortation: for I have written a letter unto you in few words. 23 Know ye that our brother Timothy is set at liberty; with whom, if he come shortly, I will see you.

May God cause the increase in confirming this rightly dividing the word of truth here.

10 And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables? 11 He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given. 12 For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath. 13 Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand. 14 And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive: 15 For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them. 16 But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear. 17 For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.

18 Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.

19 When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side. 20 But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it; 21 Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended. 22 He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful. 23 But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.

Now I have shown by the scriptures that you are wrong to judge believers for asking to explain the parable as if they are blind and deaf when Jesus did bother to explain the parable of the sower to His disciples afterwards.

Also, it is not wrong to ask the Lord for wisdom as if applying your judgment means one should not bother to ask if we do not get it.

James 1:5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. 6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. 7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. 8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.

I understand the parable of the sower thanks to Him. Out of the four, only one did not receive the seed ( Christ ) for why they were not saved. The two others out of the four got saved but either fell away not rooted in His words, or allowed the worries of the world to choke the word for why they were not fruitful, but they are still saved because they have received the seed, hence Christ. Only one out of the four were fruitful as saved believers in being His disciples.

I had asked you to explain the parable of the ten virgins after I had shared my understanding of it only because I suspect you are reading it differently and was applying it differently from how I was reading & applying it to mean. But if you do not wish to do that, I understand if it is because you do not understand it.

However, if you do understand it, then do what Jesus did even for His disciples in explaining the parable of the sower or continue to judge me wrongly as if I cannot hear, but you should know it is on God to cause the increase.

For we are not the people of This world, but a New Creature, Created in “Christ Jesus”. A “Peculiar People” who has “The Mind of. Christ”
We are nothing but “Strangers” here in a strange land among strange people. For we are only passing through, for we are, The “True “Pilgrims”. Created in Christ Jesus, Born of GOD.

That is about receiving the Holy Spirit in the New Testament, New Covenant.

This New Covenant I had referenced testified to what God will do.

Hebrews 8:10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people: 11 And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest. 12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more. 13 In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.

#1 The Lord will put His laws into their minds and write them in their hearts.

#2. The Lord will make them all know Him.

#3. He shall be merciful to their unrighteousness and their sins & iniquities, He will remember no more.

Do you believe Him that He is able to fulfill that New Covenant or not?

Jesus tells us exactly how to be saved and what we are to do.

John 3:15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Romans 4:1What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found? 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 righteousness without works,

7 Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.

8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.

We are blessed by becoming a family member and friend if we do what Jesus says.


Luke 11:28 He replied, "Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it."

Matthew 12:50 For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother."

By believing in Him you are saved for why He is our Savior t call Him our Savior for we are saved for believing in Him.

John 15:14 You are my friends if you do what I command.

John 8:31 Then Jesus said to those Judeans who had believed him, "If you continue to follow my teaching, you are really my disciples


You are badly mistake. We have to do what Jesus says to do, his words are Spirit and life.

By believing in Him as your Good Shepherd is how we can follow Him.

Jesus did not take off saying to His disciples, "Good luck. You are going to need it." No. He assured them that He is with them always.

You can follow Him by faith because He is with you always for why He is the Good Shepherd.

It is a last will and Testament because Jesus is a man, and the Testament is a Covenant because Jesus is God.

Jesus came and taught us how to be a child of God, an heir. Do you know that?

Jesus taught us what as an heir will receive.

Then Jesus died and the Testament/Covenant went into force.

Hello @God's Truth,

You have made several claims here which I would ask you to supply the relevant Scriptures for, please?

Thank you
In Christ Jesus

Here is why the Book of Hebrews was written by Paul as led by the Holy Spirit.

Nobody else refers to the race as abstaining from living in sin, but Paul.

Hebrews 12:1Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, 2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

1 Corinthians 9:24 Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. 25 And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible. 26 I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air: 27 But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.

Then there is that reference to Timothy as his travelling companion in the ministry in Hebrews for why the author has to be from Paul as led by the Holy Spirit.

Hebrews 13:22 And I beseech you, brethren, suffer the word of exhortation: for I have written a letter unto you in few words. 23 Know ye that our brother Timothy is set at liberty; with whom, if he come shortly, I will see you.

May God cause the increase in confirming this rightly dividing the word of truth here.
