It may get a little complicated. Doing/seeking (the) good(things), being upright and truthful, to love and fear G-d, to seek/look (up) to G-d is all we really can do. To hope in and trust in G-d. I could probably mention a bit more. Look for (similair) verses such as Proverbs 28:18, Isaiah 45:22, Psalms 112:4, Psalms 7:10. Maybe some NT (i am aware of Romans 3:10 and agree but it's a different context) 1 John 3:7, 1 John 2:29
Obviously repentance is a big part of this if you backward from these. I suppose this is also what Judaism (should) believe. But as i am messianic i state Jesus is the messiah and son of G-d which is actually very much different, even different from messianic judaism which is actually Catholicism(no offense).
As for the spirits, If a spirit was of G-d you dont have to familiarize. If a spirit is of G-d and you want to familiarize the spirit should say familiarize with G-d not me because the spirit (of G-d) should minister for G-d and not himself. But that is personal interpetation, nontheless it is forbidden in the torah to do these things (magic, spirits, magicians) and honestly personally i wouldnt want to because i rather seek G-d
Like i said it's sophisticated, i guess this is as summed up as i possibly can get. This doesnt mean i dont believe in Christian concepts, if a person becomes reconciled, the above things i mentioned should be the result(s)
Ok, I think I get you
I'm just going to tell you what I believe to be the truth, as I believe differently to mainstream Christianity. I'm just wondering how you see things differently to me? And the reason I'm asking is because, I don't completely ignore the old testament and the laws of God, and i believe that once we repent, then we are to turn from sin, deny ourselves and follow Jesus, then once we are baptised in the Spirit and we are born of God, we then through Christ Jesus, don't follow the law by the letter, but by the Spirit, and as we a walk in the Spirit, God teaches us the truth by the Spirit and we have the laws in our hearts and in our minds.
Jesus and the apostles didn't set the laws aside, and the apostle Paul said that through faith we establish the law, and Jesus fulfilled the law and left us a perfect example to follow. And Jesus also said that on the two greatest commandments, which is to love the Lord our God, with all our heart, soul, and mind and love our neighbour as ourselves hang all law and the prophets. Thus if we truly obey these commandments, then we won't brake Gods laws, because if we love God we our all, we will obey him, and if we love God first and our neighbour as ourselves, then we won't steal from them, kill till them, we won't have idols, we won't commit adultery or bare false witness etc. Because we love God with our all and love one another as Jesus loves us, and we care for others as we would like to be cared for, even those who hate us and the love of God and life of Christ will be seen in and through us. And to do this is to truly follow Jesus not just in word but in our lives, and in doing so, we bare witness to the truth.
So I follow Jesus, obey God and I live by the teachings of Jesus, and trust in God, and he is changing my heart through Christ by the power of the Spirit to be more like that of Christ, and so his righteousness and his life is seen in and through me, my life was so wrong before I knew God, I'm blessed to know him, and he's changed me completely and I'm now guided in the truth daily by the Holy Spirit and God is helping me to overcome my flesh every day, as long as remain in his goodness, and don't look back at the world and lust after my flesh and my old life again. I don't believe in OSAS.
I believe in only one God, the father, as his son Jesus who is the Christ, but I don't believe he is God, and the in the new testament it clearly shows us this. As it shows us that God is also the God of Jesus and Jesus teaches us that the father is the only true God, and we are to worship the father in Spirit and in truth. I don't believe in the trinity, there isn't 3 making one God, or 3 Gods making one. There is one God, the father, and the Christ, his son and the Holy Spirit whom God sends in his name.
As for the Spirit, i don't believe in calling any Spirit, I call upon the living God, the father and pray to him through Christ Jesus, and trust in him to guide me and teach me and send me the Spirit. It is wrong to call any Spirit, as we see with Saul and Samuel. I only call on God and pray to him.
I just trust in God, abide in his goodness, obey him and Christ and I believe that I should always be ready to do his will, and God has changed my heart and I trust in God and that through faith, by his grace that he will deliver me, from the ways of Satan and the world, sealing me by the power of the Spirit as long as I live by his will, remain in his goodness and walk in the Spirit, and not lust after the flesh and world again. And he has lifted me out of the pit and brought me from death to life, from darkness to the light, through him who is the light of the world, Christ Jesus. He is the way, the truth and the life, and no one comes to the father except through him.
So, how do you believe differently to me, I've wondered how differently I believe to someone who is a Jew yet follows Jesus. I hope you don't mind letting me know.
Thank you
