God's Teachings

     Thanks be to God and His disciples, for now my eyes can see!
     What I’ve said about observing the Sabbath were human rules and has no godly origin. It is said, “And Jesus concluded, ‘The Sabbath was made for the good of human beings; they were not made for the Sabbath.’” (Mark 2:27) Therefore, my observance of the Sabbath every Sunday, were just traditions that we do for the sake of tradition. The truth is we should honor God not only on Sundays but everyday, every hour, every minute, and every second in our lives. David took food from the altar and gave it to his hungry men, and so, he did not sin or break any law. For what God is after is kindness. In Mark 12:29 it says, “Jesus replied, ‘The most important one is this: ‘Listen, Israel! The Lord our God is the only Lord. Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ The second most commandment is this: ‘Love your neighbor as you love yourself.’ There is no other commandment more important than these two.’” These two is the new commandment given to us by our Lord Jesus Christ that we MUST follow, and not the Law of Moses since it is also said in Luke 16:16-17, “The Law of Moses and the writings of the prophets were in effect up to the time of John the Baptist; since then the Good News about the Kingdom of God is being told, and everyone forces their way in. But it is easier for heaven and earth to disappear than for the smallest detail of the Law to be done away with.” That is why it is also written that what is impossible for human beings is possible for God. And, through believing and following Jesus Christ, we are saved. (Mark 10:17-31) This is the new Teaching.
