**WE KNOW THAT WE HAVE COME TO KNOW JESUS **IF** WE **OBEY HIS COMMANDS**!! I John 2:3
Deuteronomy 18:17-19: The Lord said to Moses, "I will raise up for them a Prophet like you from among your fellow Israelites, and I will put My words in His mouth. He will tell them **EVERYTHING** I command Him. **I MYSELF WILL CALL TO ACCOUNT** anyone who does not listen to My words that the Prophet speaks in My name!!"
John 14:21-24: Jesus says, "Whoever has My commands and keeps them is the one who loves Me... Anyone who loves Me will obey My teaching, My Father will love them, and We will come to them and make Our home with them.. Anyone who does not love Me will not obey My teaching. These words you hear are not My own; they belong to the Father who sent Me!" {See Deut 18:17-19 above}
John 17:6,8: Jesus says, "I have revealed you to those whom you gave Me out of this world. They were yours; You gave them to Me and they have **OBEYED YOUR WORD**. For I gave them the words You gave Me and **THEY ACCEPTED THEM!"
Acts 5:32: We are witnesses of these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given **TO THOSE WHO OBEY HIM**!"
Acts 5:31,32: God exalted Jesus to His own right hand as Prince and **SAVIOR** that He might bring Israel to repentance and forgive their sins. We are witnesses of these things and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those **WHO OBEY HIM**!Luke 3:16: John the Baptist said, "I baptize you with water. But One who is more powerful than I will come, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie. **HE** will **BAPTIZE YOU WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT**!"
John 16:12-14 Jesus says, "I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear. But when he, the spirit of Truth comes, he will guide you into all the Truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. **HE WILL GLORIFY ME BECAUSE IT IS **FROM ME**THAT HE WILL RECEIVE WHAT HE WILL MAKE KNOWN TO YOU**!"
And holy spirit inspired the 8 writers of the 27 books of the New Testament to write **EVERYTHING JESUS COMMANDED HIM TO WRITE**!! And so all of the commands of the entire New Testament are **ALSO THE COMMANDS OF JESUS**!!
Matthew 28:18-20: Jesus says, "All authority in heaven and **ON EARTH** has been given to **ME**! Therefore go and make disciples of all nations... teaching them to **OBEY EVERYTHING I HAVE COMMANDED YOU** {In the entire New Testament} And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age!"
Colossians 3:16: Let the **WORD OF CHRIST** dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom!
Hebrews 5:9 Jesus became the source of salvation for **ALL WHO **OBEY** HIM**!
Matthew 24:35; Mark 13:31; Luke 21:33: Jesus says, "Heaven and earth will pass away, but **MY WORDS WILL NEVER PASS AWAY**!"
I John 2:1-5: Jesus Christ, the Righteous One. He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world. We know that we have come to know Him **IF WE KEEP HIS COMMANDS**! Whoever says, "I know Him," but does not do what He commands is a liar, and the truth is not in that person. But if anyone **OBEYS HIS WORD**, love for God is truly made complete in them. This is how we know we are in Him!
Galatians 6:2: Carry each others burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the **LAW OF CHRIST**!
I Corinthians 9:21: I am not free from God's law but **AM UNDER **CHRIST'S LAW**!!
John 13:34,35: Jesus says, "A **NEW COMMAND** I give you: Love one another. **AS I HAVE LOVED YOU**, so you **MUST** love one anothrer. By this everyone will know you are My disciples!"
John 15:10,14: Jesus says, "If you **KEEP MY COMMANDS**, you will remain in My love... My command is this: **LOVE EACH OTHER AS I HAVE LOVED YOU**!. Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends. You are My friends if you do what I command!!"
Acts 22:14,15: Ananias said to Paul, "The God of our ancestors has chosen you to know His will and to see the Righteous One and **TO HEAR WORDS FROM HIS MOUTH**. You will be **HIS WITNESS** to all people of what you have seen and heard!"
There are about 400 New Testament commands which God's saints should all strive to keep with the hope of countless eternal **REWARDS** for faithful and loving service!!
Revelation 22:12 Jesus says, "Behold I am coming soon! My **REWARD** is with Me, and I will give to everyone according to what he has done!"
Matthew 16:27: Jesus says, "The Son of Man is going to come in His Father's glory with His angels and THEN He will **REWARD** each person according to what he has done!"
2 Corinthians 5:9,10: We make it our goal to please Him... for we must all appear before the **JUDGMENT SEAT OF CHRIST**, that each one may receive what is due him for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad.
Luke 6:46-49: Jesus says, "Why do you call Me, 'Lord, Lord' and do not do what I say?? As for everyone who comes to Me and **HEARS MY WORDS** and **PUTS THEM INTO PRACTICE**, I will show you what they are like. They are like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built. But the one who **HEARS MY WORDS** and **DOES NOT PUT THEM INTO PRACTICE** is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. The moment the torrent struck that house, it collapsed and its destruction was complete!"
John 12:48: Jesus says, "There is a judge for the one who **DOES NOT ACCEPT MY WORDS**does not accept My Words; **THE VERY WORDS I HAVE SPOKEN** will **CONDEMN THEM** at the Last Day!"
Galatians 3:23-25: "Before faith came, we were held prisoners by the law, locked up until faith should be revealed. So the law was put in charge to lead us to Christ that we might be justified by faith. Now that faith has come, *WE* ARE NO LONGER UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF THE LAW!!"
Galatians 4:9,10: How is it that you are turning back to those weak and miserable principles? Do you want to be enslaved by them all over again? You are observing **SPECIAL DAYS** and months and seasons and years. I fear for you. that somehow I have wasted my efforts on you!!
Colossians 2:16,17: Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you **EAT** or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a **SABBATH DAY**!. These are a *SHADOW* of the things that were to come, the reality, however, is found **IN CHRIST**!!

Friends, looking at Richard's CONSTANT same old copy and paste above, you will notice Richard has very little to say about the Father in heaven and His commandments, which of course are NOT suggestions!
Richard7744 quotes - John 14:21-24: Jesus says, "Whoever has My commands and keeps them is the one who loves Me... Anyone who loves Me will obey My teaching, My Father will love them, and We will come to them and make Our home with them.. Anyone who does not love Me will not obey My teaching. These words you hear are not My own; they belong to the Father who sent Me!"
Note the **FATHER** will **LOVE** those who keep His original commandments that He gave to the Son! The words the Messiah spoke were NOT His own but belong to the **FATHER** who sent the Messiah to KEEP (OBEY) the very same LAWS!
So obviously the Son did NOT come to change the 10 commandment LAW because the **FATHER** spoke the words to the Son as stated in the above verse - "These words you hear are not My own" the Messiah says! So its ludicrous to even think the Father made mistakes in his LAW and now the Son comes to change them??? Yeah right!
John 17:6,8: Jesus says, "I have revealed you to those whom you gave Me out of this world. They were yours; You gave them to Me and they have **OBEYED YOUR WORD**. For I gave them the words You gave Me and **THEY ACCEPTED THEM!"
Note AGAIN that the Messiah says - "You gave them to Me (Messiah) and they (born again people) have **OBEYED YOUR (You FATHER) WORD**! Its so clear the **FATHER** gives the Son the commandments to give to the born again people and the people OBEYED the **FATHER'S** word!!! So where is the new "Christ Law" that Richard keeps quacking about because the Messiah gets ALL LAW from the **FATHER** in heaven and He would NOT disagree with Himself!? For the Messiah knew the words he shares are the **FATHER'S** word - For I gave them the words **YOU** (**FATHER**) gave Me (Messiah) and they accepted your LAWS **FATHER**!!!
So strangely Richard7744 falsely teaches that the Son comes to break the **FATHER'S** word and or LAW like the Sabbath and yet the Messiah tells His saints that they may have to run away from those persecuting them in the end times, that are ALSO OBEDIENT to ALL of His **FATHER'S** word and or LAW!
Matthew 24:20 (NIV) "And pray that your flight will not be in winter or on the Sabbath.
Matthew 24:20 (CSB) "Pray that your escape may not be in winter or on a Sabbath."
Matthew 24:20 (GWT) "Pray that it will not be winter or a **DAY OF WORSHIP**when you flee."
So friends, would this not be a great time for the Messiah to say to His people, that they would NOT need to be keeping the Holy Sabbath Day from Creation in Genesis 2:1-3 any longer that Richard claims He broke and changed? But Noooooooo he warns them that they would be keeping it LONG AFTER His death on the pole/tree and ascension to heaven with His Father that originally made the Sabbath LAW!
Isaiah the ** REAL PROPHET** clearly says in 66:23 (NIV) that the **SABBATH** will be kept in even in the future! "From one New Moon to another and from one **SABBATH** to another, all mankind will come and >>>bow down<<< before me," says the LORD."!!!

TeddyHugger proudly has many interesting **FAIRY TALES; such As: The FLAT EARTH FAIRY TALE**, the **SINLESS PERFECTIOM FAIRY TALE**, **NO ETRNAL HELL FAIRY TALE** and **JESUS MADE NO CHANGES TO OT LAW FAIRY TALE**???
**ALL OF THE FOLLOWING WORDS OF GOD CAN NOT BE FOUND IN TEDDYHUGGER'S OR LITTLESTDAVID'S BIBLE** since they do not believe that Jesus changed any Old Testament laws???
Mark 7:18,19: Jesus says, "Are you so dull?" He asked. "Don't you see that **NOTHING THAT ENTERS A MAN FROM THE **OUTSIDE** CAN MAKE HIM **UNCLEAN**? For it doesn't go into his heart but into his stomach, and then out of his body." In saying this. Jesus declared **ALL FOODS "CLEAN! For what comes out of a man is what defiles them. For it is from within, out of a person's heart, that evil thoughts come--sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly. Al these evils come from inside and make a person **UNCLEAN**!"
THIS COMMAND BY JESUS **IMMEDIATELY** ELIMINATED THE MANY UNCLEN FOODS FORBIDDEN BY OLD TESTAMENT LAWS IN LEVITICUS 11:1-47
WE* ARE NO LONGER UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF THE LAW!!
Hebrews 7:18,19: The former regulation is **SET ASIDE** because it was **WEAK AND USELESS** for the law made nothing perfect, and a **BETTER HOPE** is introduced by which we draw near to God!
Galatians 2:14-16,20,21; Paul said, When I saw that they were not acting in line with the truth of the gospel, I said to Peter in front of them all, "You are a Jew, yet you live like a Gentile and not like a Jew. How is it, then that you force Gentiles to follow Jewish customs? We who are Jews by birth and not 'Gentile sinners' know that a man is NOT justified by observing the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by observing the law, because by observing the law no one will be justified.!"
Galatians 2:20,21: The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!"
Galatians 3:10-13: "All who rely on observing the law are under a curse, for it is written "Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law." Clearly no one is justified before God by the law, because, "The righteous will live by faith." The law is not based on faith; on the contrary, "The man who does these things will live by them." Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us!
Galatians 3:23-25: "Before faith came, we were held prisoners by the law, locked up until faith should be revealed. So the law was put in charge to lead us to Christ that we might be justified by faith. Now that faith has come, *WE* ARE NO LONGER UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF THE LAW!!"
Hebrews 8:8,9,13: "The time is coming." says the Lord, "when I will make a New Covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah".... By calling this Covenant "NEW", He has made the first one OBSOLETE; and what is OBSOLETE and aging will soon disappear."
Hebrews 8:6: But the ministry Jesus has received is as superior to theirs as the covenant of which He is Mediator is SUPERIOR TO THE OLD ONE, and it is founded on better promises.
Colossians 2:16,17: Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you **EAT** or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day. These are a *SHADOW* of the things that were to come, the reality, however, is found in Christ!!!
to even think the Father made mistakes in his LAW and now the Son comes to change them??? Yeah right!
Its so clear the **FATHER** gives the Son the commandments to give to the born again people and the people OBEYED the **FATHER'S** word!!! 
For the Messiah knew the words he shares are the **FATHER'S** word - For I gave them the words **YOU** (**FATHER**) gave Me (Messiah) and they accepted your LAWS **FATHER**!!!
