A dead faith that is absent of God and his commandmdents

A collection of scripture centering around the commandments of God and its significance in our everyday life of abiding in Christ.

John 14:15
If you love me, you will keep my commandments.

John 15:10
If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love.

1 John 5:3
For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome.

1 John 2:4
4 Whoever says “I know him” but does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him

1 John 3:24
Whoever keeps his commandments abides in God, and God in him. And by this we know that he abides in us, by the Spirit whom he has given us.

What does Jesus say to those who practice lawlessness/evil deeds? Depart from me for I have never known you.

If we love the lord, we keep his commandments. By keeping his commandments, we abide in him and it’s how we know he abides in us.
So, to all the Witness Lee enthusiast who try to propagate the "central line" idea of "Christ in you". The bible gives a explanation regarding abiding in Christ and it has a lot to do with the good old "keeping the commandment". I really don’t get how I came across a group of Christians who really had such a disdain for the commandments of God. To be honest with you, I don’t think they accept God for who he truly is.
Jesus Christ the one who is: the breaker of chains, compassionate of the poor and needy, justice for the oppressed and enemy of the wicked, lover of righteousness, steadfast love, and "good". I can go on and on, God has revealed to us many times of who he is, what he loves, and he hates.

As the apostle John said
1 John 2:6- Whoever says he abides in him ought to walk in the same way in which he walked.
Paul also talked about being like him cause he of Christ. He gave much instruction in his epistles regarding the Christian life. Christ did and taught many things, he didn't just sit in a synagogue multiple days a week and recite Hebrew scripture......

Yes, abiding in Christ, such an important concept. Yet that one concepts contains a plethora of facets that is revealed to us by the lord God and his apostles. With the Holy Spirit of God abiding in them, they supplied the body of Christ with the holy word of God.

Now what is the unforgivable sin? Those who blaspheme against the works of the Holy Spirit (Matthew 12)? Why would anyone try to abrogate scripture for the sake of their false doctrine? I remember I was discussing how essential it is to keep the lords’ commandments, and this one brother just laughed, scoffed, and mocked the word of God when it came to keeping the commandments. The way he tried brush off and twist the verses was just so disturbing. He tried so hard to tarnish scripture regarding the keeping of the commandments, but why? Why go against the teachings of our Lord and his apostles? Why make a mockery and blaspheme against the works of the holy spirit? It was eye opening seeing him belittle scripture because it did not match with his heretical doctrine.

"Its not in Gods economy"- well that doctrine can go straight to the furnace of fire. An evil doctrine that aims to abrogate the holy word of God and shape the bible into the image of an fallen and corrupted man.

Keep his commandments, and God will abide in you. The lord commandments express himself and its we abide in him, we walk in him, and we will not depart from him if we do these things.

"Christ in you"- This can be very much true! The question is do you want Christ or not? Are you sure? Well, keep his commandments and that how we know if Christ abides in us. I seem repetitive, but the "central line" excuse gets really irritating. Don’t get me started on when the coworkers or leading elders say something along the lines of "just because something is very scriptural or "good" does not mean its part of "Gods building". They say they are solely scripture- yeah right. Then there is "We have the leading of the spirit", I’m not sure if you even have the spirit abiding in you. You belittle the lords’ commandments, they very thing that ties the abiding between man and God.

Lastly, I just want to get off my chest, Witness Lee, just seemed so salty and bitter. I keep hearing stories on how Lee use to belittle "What would Jesus do" and describe it as monkeys trying to imitate a human. Oh yeah totally Lee, abiding in Christ and keeping his commandments along with walking in the same path of Jesus as commanded by scripture is the equivalent of us being monkeys. It’s so funny because it is very obvious why Lee was so salty. Anything scripture or practice that exposed his greed and narcissism, was belittled by Lee. It’s not surprise he treated James the way he did, James is significant scripture a greedy and narcissistic person, it should penetrate the hearts of people like Lee if they truly wish to come to the lord. If they are monkeys Witness Lee what does that make you? A lazy sloth who just goes and sits down in a bunch of meetings and talk smack about people half the time?

So, looking at all this, In the LR, I just saw a reflection of a fallen man. The mockery of the lords’ commandments just made me disgusted and frightened on to the extent the bible, the works of the holy spirit, is forsaken. The LR says every other Christian is just man’s move and only they are Gods move and have the leading of the spirit. The same people who mock, belittle, and abrogate the lords’ commandments, the Holy Commandments that intertwines man and God. You belittle this very thing and claim all these things about yourselves. It’s no wonder you have to hide everywhere and be deceptive and have to result to all kinds of shady/discrete tactics to have any attempt to keep your false movement barely afloat; Simply because you don’t have God empowering you, you reject his commandments which ties man and God altogether.
“What a lack of increase really means for the Lords Recovery”- its very simple, they reject the lords’ commandments and hide in shame in doing so. They are not trying to grow; they are just trying to survive and hang on for a hell bound doctrine that aims to deceive the vulnerable.

So to the lurking elders/coworkers, the truth to your so called "central line", actually requires you to reject your false doctrine/teachings. Keep the lord commandments and God will abide in you. If you reject the holy bible, the teachings/works of the holy spirit that flowed through the Apostles, all for the sake of a doctrine bound of hell fire- you are in serious error.

Turn back to God, follow his commandments so he can abide in you, walk in the footsteps of Jesus Christ. Be oneness with the commandments of God and not the commandments of men. James was right, faith can be dead, we can absent of God entirely. Rejecting his commandments is the fast-track for walking in a dead faith that involves no abiding in the lord.

Its truth, whether you like it or not, its the truth.
