If the people of Israel could manage to keep the covenant of God, to obey the voice of God, they would be a peculiar treasure unto God, and would be a kingdom of priests, and a holy nation, chosen by God to be a peculiar people unto God, holy unto God above all nations on the earth. Avouched to God to be His peculiar people that they should keep all of His commandments..
Exodus 19:5 Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine:
6 And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel.
Deuteronomy 14:2 For thou art an holy people unto the Lord thy God, and the Lord hath chosen thee to be a peculiar people unto himself, above all the nations that are upon the earth.
Deuteronomy 26:18 And the Lord hath avouched thee this day to be his peculiar people, as he hath promised thee, and that thou shouldest keep all his commandments;
Israel had to hear the word of the Lord, as they had no truth, mercy or knowledge of God in the land, supporting lies, stealing and adultery.
The people were destroyed for lack of knowledge, and were rejected from being a kingdom of priests, to be no more a priest to God, as they forgot the law of God..
Hosea 4:1 Hear the word of the Lord, ye children of Israel: for the Lord hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land.
2 By swearing, and lying, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery, they break out, and blood toucheth blood.
Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
Which explains to Israel why the Anointed one, redeemed us to God, to purify unto Himself, that peculiar people, zealous of the god works of God, and this rebukes all those who forget Gods ways..
Titus 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.
15 These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.
Moses, among the priests of God...
Psalm 99:6 Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among them that call upon his name; they called upon the Lord, and he answered them.
The trees of the Lord, of righteousness, shall be named the priests of the Lord, the ministers of God, which is the approved ministers of God, the Holy Apostles of the Holy Lord God Jesus Christ, who was also approved of God..
Isaiah 61:3 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified.
Isaiah 61:6 But ye shall be named the Priests of the Lord: men shall call you the Ministers of our God: ye shall eat the riches of the Gentiles, and in their glory shall ye boast yourselves.
2 Corinthians 6:4 But in all things approving ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses,
Acts 2:22 Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know:
That is the merciful and faithful High Priest, making reconciliation for the people, and we consider Him who was faithful as Moses was, faithful in all his house.
But Christ, the Son of God over His own house, whose house we are, IF, we hold fast firm until the end..
Hebrews 2:17 Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.
Hebrews 3:1 Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;
2 Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house.
Hebrews 3:6 But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.
The High Priests passes into Heaven, so we can hold the profession of our faith, fast.
The great High Priest Jesus Christ passed into the Heavens, is also the King of righteousness, and as the Son of God abides, continues a Priest forever.
The priests/high priests of Israel did not continue, by reason of death ( which also is unrighteousness and by doing unrighteousness)..
Hebrews 4:14 Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.
Hebrews 7:1 For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him;
2 To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace;
Hebrews 7:3 Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually.
Hebrews 7:23 And they truly were many priests, because they were not suffered to continue by reason of death:
Perfection did not come by the Levitical priesthood of Israel, the priesthood was changed, as was the law * to be the law of Christ in the heart).
Now the sum is, we have such an High Priests, who is also the Minister of the sanctuary..
Hebrews 7:11 If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron?
12 For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.
Hebrews 8: 1 Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens;
2 A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man.
Having Jesus our High Priest over the house of God, ( whose house we are if we hold fast faithfully also) we draw near with a true heart, cleaned from the evil conscience and ways, doing no wavering, through holding fast the profession of our faith..
Hebrews 10:21 And having an high priest over the house of God;
22 Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.
23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)
We are built up to be a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, only offering up what is acceptable to God by Jesus Christ( always doing the things that please Him).
This makes us kings and priests unto our God, to be priests of God and of Christ..
1 Peter 2:5 Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
Revelation 1:6 And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
Revelation 5:10 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.
Revelation 20:6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
Then we see exactly what is told to be the priest of God, how the things Israel did, rejected them from being priests to God, and the false prophet, which destroyed Israel, of course can only sat the same false message, that we do not have to keep Gods right sways, yet we do, to be both Holy priest, and a minister, knowing Christ is not the minister of sin, as that does not justify us..
Galatians 2:17 But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid.
Once again, Adam7777 is sure to cleverly sneak in his sinless perfectionism heresy.
Adam thinks he has never sinned after supposedly “coming to faith”.
Sinless perfectionism heretics must redefine sin in an effort to make perfectionism appear achievable.
In other words, certain sins like stealing and adultery are considered obvious sins. But “little things” like momentary or minor heed to temptation are considered “mistakes” not really sins.
Thus sinless perfectionism heretics, like Adam, falsely claim “sinlessness perfectionism” because their false teaching permits them to redefine the meaning of sin to such a low level.
But redefining biblical terminology is a common sin practiced by sinless perfectionism heretics
(For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)
Hebrews 2:18 For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.
Adam, why don’t you want to compare YOUR redefinition of sin with the Bible’s definition of sin?
For one example, the Bible commands you to love the Lord with ALL your mind and with ALL your might and with ALL your heart.
Will you testify to having loved the Lord with ALL your heart 24/7⁉️
Since truth is established on the testimony of 2or3 >>reliable<< witnesses (which, by definition, must exclude you and the TeddyBug because neither of you are reliable witnesses as both of you make God out to be a liar every time you both claim to be without sin).
But I also have asked you several times to invite your separated wife to come to the forum and testify to the fact that you have never sinned since your alleged “salvation” but for some reason she has never showed up. OR Why don’t you invite the pastor of the church, that you rarely attend, to testify to your sinless perfectionism⁉️
Perhaps your wife might surprise us all and confess, “yes, Adam has never sinned since salvation” or she might say, “Adam only SAYS he never sinned since “salvation”.
Adam, could it be your wife moved away because she couldn’t cope living with a sinless man⁉️ Or did she move away because she couldn’t cope with a man who thinks he’s sinless⁉️
