Jesus Christ fulfilled the law. It came to an end with His sacrifice on the cross. Jesus fulfilled all the righteous requirements of the Law for Gods elect.
Jesus did not come to remove the law, but to fulfill the righteous requirements of the law. He was the only one who could keep the law perfectly. Not one portion of the law was to become unenforced until all was fulfilled. Not only was the sacrificial system and the civil laws governing the Israelites fulfilled at the cross, but so were the 10 commandments as God’s eternal law. Jesus said not one portion of the law would pass away until all was fulfilled. If one part of the law still applies to Gods elect then the whole thing does.
The law was made by God. God is just and the law was just. However, no one was able to meet the righteous requirements of the law, only Jesus did. Jesus came and fulfilled the law as required by God. He did what no man could do. God accepted the sacrifice of Jesus as punishment for our sins. Jesus paid it all. The law is upheld and established because Jesus fulfilled all the righteous requirements of the law. He did it and since we are now complete in him we did too since we are in Him.
The law used to condemn us, but Gods elect have fulfilled all the righteous requirements of the law through what Jesus Christ did on the cross! The Father accepted the sacrifice of Jesus for our sins as portrayed in the law. Jesus Christ fulfilled the law!
Romans 10
Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved.
For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.
For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.
For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.
For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them.
But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above)
Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.)
But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.
For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?
So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world.
But I say, Did not Israel know? First Moses saith, I will provoke you to jealousy by them that are no people, and by a foolish nation I will anger you.
But Esaias is very bold, and saith, I was found of them that sought me not; I was made manifest unto them that asked not after me.
But to Israel he saith, All day long I have stretched forth my hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying people.

1000 points to enter heaven ....or Grace Alone

A man dies and goes to the pearly gates where he is met by, you guessed it, St. Peter. Peter says, "It takes 1000 points to enter heaven."
The man puffs up and says, "That should be no trouble. I am a Presbyterian elder who has been faithfully married for 60 years." St. Peter says, "That will give you a point."
The man is troubled but unruffled and says, "I am a staunch Republican and have never missed voting in a national election. I was a Scoutmaster for 25 years and never missed Sunday school for 50 years." St. Peter says, "Good, that will give you another 2 points."
Now the man is beginning to show the first signs of deep agony. "Well, I have tithed my GROSS income, not "net" like many others on the Session. I have never declared bankruptcy and I have always paid my bills on time. I've been a good father and an ardent lover to my wife. So there." St. Peter says "Good for you. That will give you another three points for a total of six.
The man is sweating and on the verge of serious arguing. Finally he collapses in the arms of St. Peter with the words, "I guess I'll just have to throw myself on the mercy of God.
St. Peter, calmly replies, "That will give you an additional 1000 points. Welcome to the heavenly kingdom!" Author unknown
Ephesians 2:8-9 "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith, and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God.not by works, so that no one can boast."
Isaiah 64:4-9
For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside thee, what he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him.
Thou meetest him that rejoiceth and worketh righteousness, those that remember thee in thy ways: behold, thou art wroth; for we have sinned: in those is continuance, and we shall be saved.
But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.
And there is none that calleth upon thy name, that stirreth up himself to take hold of thee: for thou hast hid thy face from us, and hast consumed us, because of our iniquities.
But now, O LORD, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand.
Be not wroth very sore, O LORD, neither remember iniquity for ever: behold, see, we beseech thee, we are all thy people

LAW KEEPING DOES NOT SAVE AND NOR CAN IT KEEP YOU SAVED!

SDA say that they believe that Jesus saves? If so then why add the law? Why is obedience to Sabbath keeping required to save? No, SDA do not trust in Jesus Christ but ADD TO THE GOSPEL!!!
By adding to the gospel one is corrupting the gospel and preaching another gospel. The law cannot save you and nor can it keep you saved!!!
Romans 8:2-4
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit

THE BLOOD OF JESUS SAVES FROM GODS WRATH....NOT WORKS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS!

“And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying, This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you. Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for an house: And if the household be too little for the lamb, let him and his neighbour next unto his house take it according to the number of the souls; every man according to his eating shall make your count for the lamb. Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year: ye shall take it out from the sheep, or from the goats: And ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month: and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening. And they shall take of the BLOOD, and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses, wherein they shall eat it. And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and unleavened bread; and with bitter herbs they shall eat it. Eat not of it raw, nor sodden at all with water, but roast with fire; his head with his legs, and with the purtenance thereof. And ye shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; and that which remaineth of it until the morning ye shall burn with fire. And thus shall ye eat it; with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and ye shall eat it in haste: it is the LORD's passover. For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the LORD. And the BLOOD shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and WHEN I SEE THE BLOOD, I WILL PASS OVER YOU, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt” (Exodus 12:1-13)
“In the fourteenth day of the first month at even is the LORD's PASSOVER. And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread unto the LORD: seven days ye must eat unleavened bread” (Leviticus 23:5,6)
The Passover is a picture of Jesus Christ (Who is the passover of Gods elect ), “Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even CHRIST OUR PASSOVER is sacrificed for us”
1 Corinthians 5
Jesus was as a lamb without spot nor blemish, He was perfect. Jesus was killed and His blood shed for the sins of Gods elect, “...without the shedding of BLOOD there is no remission” (Hebrews 9:22). There can be no redemption without Christ’s blood.
Romans 3:25 “Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through FAITH IN HIS BLOOD, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God.”
The word “propitiation” in the Greek means “to appease one’s wrath.” It is faith in the shed blood of Christ that removes Gods elect from under the condemnation of God’s Law. God’s wrath is turned away and we obtain divine favor because of Jesus’ blood. It is “FAITH IN HIS BLOOD” that brings the forgiveness and cleansing of sins.
“But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are MADE NIGH BY THE BLOOD OF CHRIST” (Ephesians 2:13)
“And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and WASHED US FROM OUR SINS IN HIS OWN BLOOD” (Revelation 1:5)

SDA teach that Sunday worshippers ARE THE Mark Of The Beast. AND ONLY SDA HAVE THE SEAL OF GOD

TOTALLY UNSCRIPURAL GOOBLYGOOK
SDA PROPHECY SEMINARS: LESSON 18 Leo Schreven
... "Now, what is the Mark of the beast? It's a simple step by step counterfeit of receiving the Seal of God. Let's turn back to the prophecy in Daniel 7:25, "And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time." He would change times and laws. The first step the Beast must counterfeit is God's law. Why? Because the "law" is sealed in the saints who follow God. Notice though it also changes "times." Only the fourth commandment deals with times."
The second step to counterfeit the seal is Daniel 8:12, "And an host was given him against the daily sacrifice by reason of transgression, and it CAST DOWN THE TRUTH TO THE GROUND; and it practiced, and prospered." He would "cast down the truth." Why? Because it's again the truth that is sealed in the saints forehead. And so we see a perfect fulfillment. We have seen the Papal Roman power change the law, both the second, tenth and the fourth commandment dealing with times, and counterfeiting many of God's truths.
... "The true God was worshiped on Saturday, the seventh day. So Papal Rome had to change the law, and the day of worship to Sunday, so they could be worshipped."
... "Faith of Our Fathers, p. 14, C.F. Thomas, Chancellor of Cardinal Gibbons: "Of course the Catholic church claims that the change was her act. And the act is the MARK of her ecclesiastical power and authority in religious matters."
"Thus the way was opened to lead people to worship the Beast, and receive his mark. Also the way was opened to "worship the image of the beast." An image is a replica of an original. There are millions of people who are not "worshiping the beast," but they do worship its image. Many churches today are nothing more than an image of the Papal Church. They may have a different name, but they are following the same false teachings, traditions, and commandments of men. False teachings like baptism by sprinkling, the immortal soul, Sunday worship, eternal hell-fire, et cetera, are all from the Beast. If we choose to worship in a church that follows these teachings, we are simply following an image of the Beast. That's why God's call is to come out of Babylon to follow Jesus and truth."
"Let's see step by step how a person receives the Mark of the beast in their forehead. As we continue on in 2 Thessalonians 2, we come to verse 10. "And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved."
"Here is the first step to receiving the Mark of the beast: Refusing to love the "truth" (the truth is what is sealed in the saints). So the first step is simple, you don't have to do anything wrong, you just refuse to do what's right."
"The second step in receiving the Mark of the beast is in verse 11, "And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie." What is that lie? First John 2:3-4, "And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him." Believe the lie that you can still go to heaven while breaking the law. Rather than loving Jesus and keeping His commandments, people choose to follow the Beast's lie."
"The third step is found in verse 12, "That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness." They are damned for not believing the truth. Rather than being comforted by the Spirit who leads to Jesus Christ, they stand condemned for following the Antichrist. Because of their willful decision to follow the Beast, its false teachings and practices, the Beast's name is in their forehead and they are lost having received the Mark of the beast. The process is a step by step counterfeit of the Holy Spirit's work to give us the Seal of God."

SDA teach that ALL Sunday worshippers ARE THE Mark Of The Beast...

Recent converts are either unaware, or unwilling to accept the official historic position of their church. Although their first reaction is, "My church doesn’t teach that!" read the proof for yourself!
Proof the official doctrine of the Seventh-day Adventist churches is that the Mark of the beast is those who worship on Sunday.
"Sunday-keeping must be the mark of the beast." ... "The reception of his mark must be something that involves the greatest offense that can be committed against God." (The Marvel of Nations, Elder U. Smith pages 170, 183)
"Here we find the mark of the beast. The very act of changing the Sabbath into Sunday, on the part of the Catholic church, without any authority from the Bible." (Ellen G. White, The Mark of the Beast, page 23)
"The Sunday Sabbath is purely a of the Papacy. It is the mark of the beast." (Advent Review, Vol. I, No. 2, August, 1850.)
"The change of the Sabbath is the sign or mark of the authority of the Romish church." ... "The keeping of the counterfeit Sabbath is the reception of the mark." (Ellen G. White, Great Controversy, Vol. 4, page 281)
"The mark of the beast is Sunday-keeping. A law will enforce this upon Seventh-day Adventists. They won't obey. Then they will be outlawed, persecuted, and condemned to death! Of all the wild Advent speculations in the prophecies, this deserves to stand among the wildest." (Seventh-day Adventism Renounced" by D.M. Canright, 1914)
"Sunday-keeping is an institution of the first beast, and ALL who submit to obey this institution emphatically worship the first beast and receive his mark, 'the mark of the beast.' .... Those who worship the beast and his image by observing the first day are certainly idolaters, as were the worshippers of the golden calf." (Advent Review Extra, pages 10 and 11, August, 1850)
"the Seventh day, Saturday, must be kept; that keeping Sunday is the mark of the beast; that all should pay tithes; that Mrs. White is inspired as were the writers of the Bible; that the Bible must be interpreted to harmonize with her writings" (Seventh-day Adventism Renounced" by D.M. Canright, 1914)

"All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work."
2 Timothy 3:16-17
John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the TRUTH, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me
God's Word is eternal
"The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God stands forever." Isaiah 40:8
"...having been born again, not of corruptible seed but incorruptible, through the word of God which lives and abides forever...." 1 Peter 1:23
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it." John 1:1-5
"And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth." John 1:14
"...the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed...." John
3:19-20
it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. - Jude 3
John 17
Jesus spoke these things; and lifting up His eyes to heaven, He said, "Father, the hour has come,glorify Your , that the may glorify You, even as You gave Him authority over all flesh, that to all whom You have given Him, He may give eternal life.
This is eternal life, that they may know You,the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.
I glorified You on the earth, having accomplished the work which You have given Me to do.
Now, Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was.
I have manifested Your name to the men whom You gave Me out of the world; they were Yours and You gave them to Me, and they have kept Your word.
Now they have come to know that everything You have given Me is from You, for the words which You gave Me I have given to them; and they received them and truly understood that I came forth from You, and they believed that You sent Me.
I ask on their behalf,I do not ask on behalf of the world, but of those whom You have given Me; forthey are Yours and all things that are Mine are Yours, and Yours are Mine; and I have been glorified in them.
I am no longer in the world; and yet they themselves are in the world, and I come to You Holy Father, keep them in Your name, the name (A which You have given Me, that they may be one even as We are.
While I was with them, I was keeping them in Your name which You have given Me and I guarded them and not one of them perished but the of perdition, so that the Scripture would be fulfilled.
But now I come to You; and these things I speak in the world so that they may have My joy made full in themselves.
I have given them Your word; and the world has hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
I do not ask You to take them out of the world, but to keep them from the evil one. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
Sanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth.
As You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world. For their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth.
I do not ask on behalf of these alone, but for those also who believe in Me through their word; that they may all be one; even as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be in Us, so that the world may believe that You sent Me.
The glory which You have given Me I have given to them, that they may be one, just as We are one; I in them and You in Me, that they may be perfected in unity, so that the world may know that You sent Me, and loved them, even as You have loved Me.
Father, I desire that they also, whom You have given Me, be with Me where I am, so that they may see My glory which You have given Me, for You loved Me before the foundation of the world.
O righteous Father, although the world has not known You, yet I have known You; and these have known that You sent Me,andI have made Your name known to them, and will make it known, so that the love with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them.

SDA IS A WORKS ORIENTATED RELIGION

SDAs hold to a particular doctrine, which is exclusive only to their religion, which they refer to as “Investigative Judgment.” The following information is quoted directly from SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH MANUAL...SDA is an extremely dangerous religion because it appears as being a genuine New Testament Church but it is not in any way.
As much as SDAs attempt to deny it, their religion is rooted in self-righteousness. SDAs hold to a particular doctrine, which is exclusive only to their religion, which they refer to as “Investigative Judgment.” The following information is again quoted directly from SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH MANUAL...
“There is a sanctuary in heaven, the true tabernacle which the Lord set up and not man. In it Christ ministers on our behalf, making available to believers the benefits of His atoning sacrifice offered once for all on the cross. He was inaugurated as our great High Priest and began His intercessory ministry at the time of His ascension. In 1844, at the end of the prophetic period of 2300 days, He entered the second and last phase of His atoning ministry. It is a work of investigative judgment which is part of the ultimate disposition of all sin, typified by the cleansing of the ancient Hebrew sanctuary on the Day of Atonement
The investigative judgment reveals to heavenly intelligences who among the dead are asleep in Christ and therefore, in Him, are deemed worthy to have part in the first resurrection. It also makes manifest who among the living are abiding in Christ, keeping the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus, and in Him, therefore, are ready for translation into His everlasting Kingdom. This judgment vindicates the justice of God in saving those who believe in Jesus. It declares that those who have remained loyal to God shall receive the Kingdom. The completion of this ministry of Christ will mark the close of human probation before the Second Advent.”
SOURCE: SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH MANUAL, pg. 15,16; Revised 1995, 15th Edition
Titus 3:4-7
But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared,
Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;
That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

THE SEAL OF GOD IS THE HOLY SPIRIT. IT IS NOT SABBATH KEEPING!!!

SDA teach that in the future there will be laws passed that require Sunday worship. They teach that the Catholic Church and The Government will unite in bringing this to fruition. When this happens, the SDA teach that each person will be forced to make a decision: Worship on the 7th Day Sabbath and receive the Seal of God or Worship on Sunday and receive the Mark of the Beast.
What does the bible say? The bible says that the seal of God is THE HOLY SPIRIT and not Sabbath keeping. Sabbath keeping will not save you! Jesus said that you must be born again to enter into the kingdom of God, Be filled with the Spirit!
According to Webster's Dictionary, the word "seal" means "to confirm, authenticate or guarantee - to pledge." The Bible says that we are given the Holy Spirit by God the Father as a "guarantee" and as a "deposit."
When God says that we are sealed by His Holy Spirit at the moment of our salvation , we are receiving the person of the Holy Spirit, which is also being sealed with His presence.
This seal is now a bond between God and the Christian who have recieved the Holy Spirit at the moment of salvation through Jesus, that the Christian's bodies have now become the temple of the Holy Spirit, and have now been "sealed" with the presence of the Holy Spirit.
This is the true seal of God!!
Act 2:37
Now when they heard [this], they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men [and] brethren, what shall we do? Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you, and to your , and to all that are afar off, [even] as many as the Lord our God shall call.
1 Corinthians 3:16
Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and [that] the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost [which is] in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
1Cr 6:19
For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.
Galatians 2:20
I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I
live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the
life which I now live in the flesh I live by the
faith of the of God, who loved me, and
gave himself for me.
Rom 8:9, 10
But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
And if Christ [be] in you, the body [is] dead because of sin; but the Spirit [is] life because of righteousness.
Eph 1:12-14
That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ. In whom ye also [trusted], after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.
Eph 4:30
And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
2Cr 1:21,22
Now he which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, [is] God; Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.
2Cr 5:5
Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing [is] God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit. Therefore [we are] always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord:
(For we walk by faith, not by sight )
We are confident, , and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.
