Jesus is the way, but how many ways are there to Jesus?

[bro.tan]

Are you promoting salvation through adherence to the law God gave to the Israelites a;one through Moses? (seems so)

Yes, the Commandment written in Exodus 20: 1-17

Galatians 3:23-25 NIV
Before the coming of this faith,[a] we were held in custody under the law,
locked up until the faith that was to come would be revealed.
24 So the law was our guardian until Christ came that we might be justified by faith.
25 Now that this faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian.

]

Let take a look at what Paul is saying in (Gal. 3:1, 13, 16-17, 19, 24) (v.1) O FOOLISH Ga-la’-tians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you? (v.13) Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, CURSED IS EVERYONE THAT HANGETH ON A TREE: What law is this talking about? Let the bible speak for itself.

(v.16) 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. (v.17) 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.

To sum up what going on here in Galatians, Paul is explaining that Christ came from Abraham seed, and remove the animal Sacrificial law. But in the days of Abraham that animal Sacrificial law never was on the table, and was not needed for Abraham to obey and faith in God. But Commandments was always on the table.

Now pay attention, the law that is being spoken of here came four hundred and thirty years after this covenant. But God’s holy commandments have been around forever even before man was created. Remember that Satan was kicked out of heaven because iniquity (sin) was found in him. And what is sin? The transgression of the law (commandments). Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. Now we have just read the biblical definition of sin, the transgression (breaking) of the law (commandments.) It doesn’t matter what you or I think sin is, it’s what God says sin is that counts. (1John 3:4)

(v.19) Wherefore then serveth the law? A question is being asked here. Then why should we serve this law? It was added because of transgression, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; the law that we are talking about here was added because of sin. But we now know that sin is the transgression of the law.

How do you add a law if sin is the transgression of the law? Because there are two sets of laws, you have God’s holy commandments which abided forever, and you had the animal sacrificial law which was added because of sin, but it was only good until the seed should come to whom the promise was made, and that seed was Jesus.

(v.24) Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. This animal sacrificial law was only a schoolmaster. (Paul breaks down more of this law in Hebrew 10th Chapter)

And this schoolmaster taught you that when you sinned in ignorance blood had to be shed (an animal sacrificed). But Christ being the ultimate sacrifice shed his precious blood once and for all, and by doing this putting an end to the animal sacrificial law.

Paul says in Romans 3:31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.

One of the false movements today by the Catholic Church, and even by some Protestant Churches, is the Ecumenical movement of a joining of not just various Christian Churches together, but also including invitations of other religions into the Christian Church.

Today's Catholic Church is one of the heads of that one-world religion movement. So don't be deceived brethren, because the Catholic Church is not doing that in order to try and convert more to Christ. They are doing it to serve the coming one-world religion for the coming Antichrist.

 

[St. SteVen]

From the OP. Plus additional video evidence.

We've all heard the biblical claim that Jesus is the way. (the truth and the life...)


But how many ways are there to Jesus?

- Does your church provide the only way to Jesus?
- Do other churches provide a way to Jesus?
- Do other religions provide a way to Jesus?
- Can Jesus find someone outside of religion all together?

How clearly does anyone see His face when first they meet Him? Has His face become clearer to them during their time as a man? Have they become more like Him?

David?

Ps 27:8

When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek.

The blind man whose eyes Jesus touches twice?

Mr 8:23	And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the town; and when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he asked him if he saw ought.
Mr 8:24	And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking.
Mr 8:25	After that he put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and he was restored, and saw every man clearly.

A Roman soldier?

Mt 8:9	For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.
Mt 8:10	When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.

Any Gentile [Heathen] who is moving toward God?

Ro 2:13	(For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.
Ro 2:14	For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:
Ro 2:15	Which show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;)

Even a "dog" of a woman who has faith?

Mr 7:27	But Jesus said unto her, Let the children first be filled: for it is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it unto the dogs.
Mr 7:28	And she answered and said unto him, Yes, Lord: yet the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs.
Mr 7:29	And he said unto her, For this saying go thy way; the devil is gone out of thy daughter.

 

[PGS11]

Yes the only place you can find salvation is faith in the death and resurrection of Christ period.Which all Christian Churches teach.The problem is no one can agree how this is done telling each other the other is going to hell even though they know we are saved by faith in the death and resurrection of Christ and believe the same thing.It will always be like this especially today with individualism peaking may even get worse as they decide on what parts of the bible they can and can't believe which I see all the time.It seems it no longer has to be taken as a whole just the parts they believe many will go into error.

There is only one way to Jesus; through Faith Alone...

Jesus is the way to Jesus, but are you listening with more than your head?

 

[soberxp]

(Genesis 22:2).

"Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love… and offer him as a burnt offering."

Abraham’s Obedience

Only one way to the Jesus from trying to learning how to obey and Obedience.

God's way is the way to know Him and Jesus by being in His likeness through being a doer of His character traits, which is the way to eternal life (John 17:3). For example, in Genesis 18:19, God knew Abraham that he would teach his children and those of his household to walk in His way by being a doer of righteousness and justice that the Lord might bring to him all that He has promised. An arrow flies true when it hits its mark, our mark it to walk in God's way, and God's law is truth (Psalms 119:142) because it is God's instructions for how to walk in His way (1 Kings 2:1-2) while sin is missing the mark, is contrary to God's way, and the transgression of God's law (1 John 3:4). The Spirit has the role of leading us in truth (John 16:13) and of leading us to obey God's law (Ezekiel 36:26-27) because God's character traits are the fruits of the Spirit. The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact likeness of His character (Hebrews 1:3), which he expressed through his works by setting a sinless example for us to follow of how to walk in obedience to God's law, so he is the way, the truth, and the life, and the way to know the Father (John 14:6-12).

Hi, Steve!

You still pullin' on folks' tails?

There are different ways that God can reach the sinner's heart to renew it, but there's only way that God has chosen to atone for sin.

Is that a fair and honest answer?

 

[St. SteVen]

God's way is the way to know Him and Jesus by being in His likeness through being a doer of His character traits, which is the way to eternal life (John 17:3).

Works?

God has made His way know through His law (1 Kings 2:1-3), which is the one way to Jesus and the way that he embodied by setting a sinless example for us to follow of how to walk in obedience to it.

Was Jesus known as a Sabbath-keeper?

[Soyeong]

Was Jesus known as a Sabbath-keeper?

[

Jesus was known as a Sabbath-keeper to those who believe that He was sinless, though there were some who incorrectly thought that he was not one.

 

[St. SteVen]

Jesus was known as a Sabbath-keeper to those who believe that He was sinless, though there were some who incorrectly thought that he was not one.

So you believe that not keeping the Sabbath is a sin today?

It seems to me that those who observed that Jesus wasn't a Sabbath-keeper had good evidence.
When He was accused He never denied it. In fact He implicated Himself.

Matthew 12:3 NIV
He answered, “Haven’t you read what David did when he and his companions were hungry?

Indeed, sin is the transgression of God's law (1 John 3:4), which includes the command to keep the Sabbath holy (Exodus 20:8-11), so the position that Jesus broke the Sabbath is the position that he sinned and is therefore not our Savior.

There are a number of laws that appear to conflict with each other, such as when God commanded to rest on the Sabbath while also commanding priests to make offerings on the Sabbath (Numbers 28:9-10), however, it was not the case that priests were forced to sin by disobeying one of the two commands no matter what they chose to do, but that the lesser command was never intended to be understood as preventing the greater command from being obeyed. This is why Jesus said in Matthew 12:5-7 that priests who did their duties on the Sabbath were held innocent, why David and his men were held innocent, and why Jesus defended his disciples as being innocent. Likewise, this is why it is lawful to circumcise a baby on the 8th day if it happens to fall on the Sabbath and why it is lawful to get an ox out of a ditch on the Sabbath.

It is contradictory to think that Jesus was correct about it being lawful to heal on the Sabbath and to think that the Pharisees were correct that Jesus broke the Sabbath by healing on it. It has always been lawful to heal on the Sabbath, so those Pharisees were incorrect.

No.
I believe that Jesus came to deconstruct the law.
What He did was not a sin.

Galatians 3:23-25 NIV
Before the coming of this faith,[a] we were held in custody under the law,
locked up until the faith that was to come would be revealed.
24 So the law was our guardian until Christ came that we might be justified by faith.

Spot on right and many and some even here on this very site ARE DOING THIS VERY THING .
THANK you for exposing it . they are doing everything to plant doubts
and to make it seem like one does not even have to confess the NAME of JESUS
to be saved . THIS is all a sham to
unify the religoins as one under in time what all will beleive is GOD , IS LOVE .
its all a sham .

 

[Soyeong]

No.
I believe that Jesus came to deconstruct the law.
What He did was not a sin.

Jesus quoted three times from Deuteronomy in order to defeat the temptations of Satan, including saying that man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that comes from the mouth of God, so it is incorrect to interpret him as coming to deconstruct Deuteronomy or anything that has come from the mouth of God. Why does it even make sense for you to think that God's word made flesh was sent to deconstruct God's word?

Galatians 3:23-25 NIV
Before the coming of this faith,[a] we were held in custody under the law,

Christ did not come with the message to stop repenting because we are now free to be doers of what God's law reveals to be wickedness now that he has come, but just the opposite, he came with the Gospel message to repent for the Kingdom of God is at hand, which is in accordance with him being sent in fulfillment of the promise to bless us by turning us from our wickedness (Acts 3:25-26).
