Warning Against Prejudice, Beliefs and Practices.

Uncategorized

          Warning against prejudice

1 Brethren, believe in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ without any prejudice.

2 For if a man come into your assembly wearing a gold ring and a beautiful robe, and a poor man in a dirty robe,

3 And take heed to the man who is clothed in fine linen, and say to him, Come and sit down in a good place;

4 So have you not discriminated in your hearts, and have not become judges of evil thoughts?

5 Behold, my beloved brethren, hath not God chosen the poor of the world to be rich in faith, and to be rulers of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him?

6 But you insulted that poor man!  Don’t the rich oppress you?  And don’t they drag you to the courts themselves?

7 Do not the rich slander the good name by which ye are known?

8 But if you keep the royal commandment, as it is written, You shall love your neighbor as yourself, you are doing well.

9 But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors.

10 If anyone obeys the law but forgets one thing, he is guilty of all things.

11 For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill.  So if you have not committed adultery but have committed murder, you are a transgressor of the law.

12 Speak and act like those who are to be judged according to the law of liberty.

13 For he that hath not mercy shall be judged without mercy.  Mercy triumphs over justice.

Beliefs and Practices

14 My brethren, what good is it if someone says he has faith but does not practice it?  Can this faith save him?
15 If a brother or sister is short of food and bread.

16 And one of you say unto them, Go in peace.  Stay warm and satisfied, but what good is it if you don’t give them what they need?

17 In the same way, faith without works is dead in itself.

18 But if anyone says that you have faith and I have deeds,  Show me your faith without works, and I will show you my faith by my works.

19 You believe that there is only one God.  You heal it, even the demons believe and tremble.

20 But you worthless man, don’t you know that faith without works is worthless?

21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar?

22 You see that faith is multiplied by works, and faith by works.

23 And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.

24 You see that a person is justified not only by faith but also by works.

 25 Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had brought her hides into her house, and sent them away another way?

26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

 Invitation to Persevere

19 And so, brothers and sisters, we are completely free to enter the Most Holy Place.  We can do this without fear because of the blood of Christ.
Hebrews 10:19

20 We can enter into the new way that Christ has opened for us.  This is a living path.  This new way leads through the veil, which is the body of Christ.
Hebrews 10:20

21 And we have a great priest over the house of God.
Hebrews 10:21

22 We are made pure and free from guilt.  And our bodies have been washed with pure water.  So come to God with a pure heart and with the trust of your faith.
Hebrews 10:22

23 We must hold fast to the hope that we have.  And we should never lose sight of our hope.  We must be sure that God will do what He has promised.
Hebrews 10:23

24 We should think about each other and encourage each other to show love and do good things.
Hebrews 10:24

25 We must not stop meeting each other.  This is what some people are doing.  But we should encourage each other and do more because the day is approaching.
Hebrews 10:25

26 If you continue to sin even after learning the truth, there is no sacrifice that can take away the sins of others.
Hebrews 10:26

27 If we continue to sin, we have no choice but to fear the judgment of the resurrection and the fierce fire that will destroy all those who live against God.
Hebrews 10:27

28 Anyone who refused to obey the law of Moses was condemned on the basis of two or three testimonies.  That person was not forgiven.  He was killed.
Hebrews 10:28

29 So what do you think should be done to a person who hates the Son of God?  That person must be severely punished.  Yes, that person should be severely punished because he did not treat the blood with which the new covenant begins.  That blood has made him holy.  And he must be punished severely because he has shown his hatred against the Spirit of God’s grace.
Hebrews 10:29

30 We know that God said, “I will punish the people for their evil deeds.  I will answer them for what they did wrong. ”  And God also said, “The Lord will judge his people.”
Hebrews 10:30

31 It would be terrible for a sinner to fall under the living God.
Hebrews 10:31

32 Remember the first days when you first came to know the truth.  You had to endure many hardships, but you remained strong.
Hebrews 10:32

33 Sometimes people hate you and persecute you in front of many people.  And sometimes you helped other people who were once treated the same way.
Hebrews 10:33

34 Yes, you have helped those who were taken captive, and you have shared their suffering.  And when all your possessions were taken away from you, you rejoiced.  You were happy because you knew you had something better that would last forever.
Hebrews 10:34

35 So don’t be discouraged by what you kept in the past.  You will receive a great reward for your courage.
Hebrews 10:35

36 You must be patient.  Then, after you have done what God wants you to do, you will have what God promised.
Hebrews 10:36

37 For yet a little while, and he that cometh shall come, and shall not tarry.
Hebrews 10:37

38 He that is just with me shall receive life in his faith: but if he shall return with fear, I will not be pleased with him.
Hebrews 10:38

39 But we are not the ones who have turned away and gone astray.  No  We are the people who have faith and are saved.
Hebrews 10:39
