A concept , me thinks , that has been lost on many in this generation . And that concept is simply this . WHO DO WE THINK INSPIRIED all those words in the holy scrips . So my question is , why would we ever once want to sit under those who teach what their own mind inspires and not rather what I KNOW GOD INSPIRED . Do we even have to wonder the why or the who was behind downplaying the bible . The why , was so that we would become wise in our own eyes and take off from heeding GOD . the who , well look at the tree in the garden . WHEN the woman said , GOD said ye may eat of all the trees , just not the tree of good and evil and that ye shall die in the day ye eat thereof . WHAT was the serpents reponse again , NAY NAY , it said , SURELY ye shall not die , then allured her We can hear this today . HAS GOD or holy do gooders told ye that ye must remain in that bible testing all things men do speak against it , NAY NAY it says it was writ by men too , it was ………………..come eat of the tree of my hirelings and they shall guide you .

I can only sum it up by saying , CLING TO JESUS and Feast on those bibles and learn the pattern well . for many deceivers abound and the falling away grows only worse Follow the lamb , feast on the word , and test every dot that a man does write or speak against THE ORIGINAL WELL LEARNED PATTERN .

...the person who just sins all week, and figures they will just confess it afterward, not because they are sorry, but because they don't want to wind up in hell.
And that is the carnal mind at work. Acting like a pharisee, living according to the letter and not faith.
“Therefore by the deeds of the law no flesh will
be justified in His sight, for by the law is the knowledge of sin.” - Romans 3:20
Sinning with an evil presumption that God will forgive you and (mis)using His Word to justify yourself.
That will not work.
“For if we sin willfully after we have received the
knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins...” - Hebrews 10:26
Repent (in truth) or perish.
“He who covers his sins will not prosper,
But whoever confesses and forsakes them will have mercy.” - Proverbs 28:13
“...go and learn what this means:
‘I desire mercy and not sacrifice.’
For I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.” - Matthew 9:13
“For I desire mercy and not sacrifice,
And the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.” - Hosea 6:6
“Awake to righteousness, and do not sin;
for some do not have the knowledge of God. I speak this to your shame.” - 1 Corinthians 15:34
“...unless you repent you will all likewise perish.” - Luke 13:5
“So rend your heart, and not your garments;
Return to the Lord your God,
For He is gracious and merciful...” - Joel 2:13
“Wash yourselves, make yourselves clean;
Put away the evil of your doings from before My eyes.
Cease to do evil...” - Isaiah 1:16
“Jesus answered them,
“Most assuredly, I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave of sin.
And a slave does not abide in the house forever, but a son abides forever.
Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.” - John 8:34-36
But just believing and preaching that people are always saved no matter what they do is easier than to preach the real need of repentance and truth.
“Therefore, to you who believe, He is precious; but to those who are disobedient,
“The stone which the builders rejected
Has become the chief cornerstone,”
and
“A stone of stumbling
And a rock of offense.”
They stumble, being disobedient to the word, to which they also were appointed.” - 1 Peter 2:7-8
And if they keep rebelling against the truth their end will not be nice and then they will wonder why...
But the Lord will say to them:
“...I have even sent to you all My servants the prophets, daily rising up early and sending them.
Yet they did not obey Me or incline their ear, but stiffened their neck....” - Jeremiah 7:25-26
“He who hears you hears Me, he who rejects you rejects Me,
and he who rejects Me rejects Him who sent Me.” - Luke 10:16
“Therefore the wisdom of God also said,
‘I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they will kill and persecute,’...” - Luke 11:49
Some carnal minded people don't want to stop sinning, so they convince themselves that they are eternally secure. Others that keep sinning choose to believe they can make insincere confessions. It all comes down to the fact they do not want to abandon their sin.

I am doing the reading in Leviticus right now. Why does the Lord tell us all of these things that are unclean? I am thinking they are symbolic of our fallen nature but not sure? Such as Diseases and a woman's monthly bleeding. See in context of the whole Bible. Nothing indicates, God never says, that it is symbolic per se.
Whatever is unclean, God calls unclean. He is never wrong. He is always Right.

Lots of things are symbolic of walking in the Spirit. And The Book does give some examples. one easy example is circumcision/circumcision of the heart. Many however are revealed by The Spirit as we seek.
Concerning the book of Leviticus there are many things that post-veil being torn from top to bottom have changed.
Act 10:10 And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance, Act 10:11 And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending unto him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth: Act 10:12 Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air. Act 10:13 And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat. Act 10:14 But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean. Act 10:15 And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.

Such as Diseases and a woman's monthly bleeding. Why does the Lord tell us anything , ever ? Who listens to the Lord Today ?
Does it matter or not if it is symbolic ? Can the Lord Reveal what is needed and what is not needed ? Can the Lord lead us Today ?
Did the Lord lead Noah ?
Noah already knew , long before the law was given, what was clean and what was unclean. So clean and unclean is not a matter of law for everyone,
but it matters and is important only for those who Listen to The Lord Today. For those who want to follow Him with a pure heart. (not unclean polluted heart)

When a man , a church or any , takes off in any way of the original pattern, expect only this ………….delusion and falling away . JESUS let us a pattern for all things , for correction and for edification . The aposltes knew That pattern well . If any within the sight of these letters is reading this , GO BACK , GO BACK to the original pattern and learn JESUS well and all things He did instruct Learn the apostles well and all things they did instruct . Cleanse thy hair from all that gel , and be washed clean and anew in Christ as the original pattern takes root in all hearts . Do you know of any church or group that follows Jesus Today ? The Same as The Apostles and disciples in the Epistles, in the First Century ? The Same as some few Anabaptists in the Middle Ages ?
