Re: 5 Ways Satan Wants to Destroy Your Holiness
A Christian pastor wrote that it is "impossible" to find Yahuah's
acceptance by obeying Him. In Yahusha's parable at Mt. 21:2832 about the two sons, He made the point that the one who
obeys the will of the Father is acceptable. What is "impossible"
is being acceptable to Yahuah by remaining disobedient.
The author wrote:
Legalism is not attempting to keep the law of God. Its
assuming we can keep it. Furthermore, legalism says Gods
acceptance is found in keeping Gods law. Impossible!
Response from Lew White:
Dear brother,

In Yahushas parable of the two sons, He shows us how our

obedience DOES find acceptance:
Mat 21:28-32: But what do you think? A man had two sons,
and he came to the first and said, Son, go, work today in
my vineyard.
And he answering, said, I do not wish to, but afterwards
he repented and went.
And having come to the second, he said similarly. And he
answering, said,
I go, master, but he did not go.
Which of the two did the desire of the father? They said to
Him, The first. Yahusha said to them, Truly, I say to you
that tax collectors and whores are entering into the reign of
Alahim before you, for Yahukanon came to you in the way
of righteousness, and you did not believe him, but tax
collectors and whores believed him. And when you saw it,
you did not repent afterwards, to believe him.
Our obedience perfects and establishes our belief. New "laws"
invented by men (like Sunday) have replaced the Torah of
Yahuah.
