Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet
I John 2:3-5 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.
But whoso keepeth His word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in Him.
I was changed instantly when I was born again in 1975.
I wanted to read Bible and not just read Bible but I was always looking for a scripture that I could do in my life.
Even to this day, 43-years later, I still love to see scripture that I can apply to my life.

Some very evil doctrines have come into our church groups today saying we no longer have to keep the commandments of God since we are not under the law.
The "man of lawlessness", antichrist, preaches this lawlessness against God's word in today's churches.

But much of the writing in the New Testament concerns commandments of God for the church today, the NT church.
I Corinthians 7:10-11 And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband: But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.
Paul wrote to the NT church telling them the above scripture is "the commandment of the Lord."
Jesus explained the rule of God to the people:
Matthew 5:32 But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.
Jesus is telling the husband, if you divorce a faithful wife and she remarries, she will commit adultery but you will be the cause of her adultery and the man who marries a divorced woman will commit adultery.
Mark 10:6-12 But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh.
What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
And in the house his disciples asked him again of the same matter.
And HE saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another, committeth adultery against her. And if a woman shall put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery.
Matthew 19:9 And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.
The man who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

In Romans 1, we read about men and women who commit "vile affections" toward those of same sex, homosexuals and lesbians. Some churches today are teaching that homosexuals and lesbians are just born that was but that is not what God says in Bible.
Romans 1:25-27 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

To continue in previous sins after you are born again is to deny the price paid for salvation. If you do that, there is no more sacrifice for your sins.
Hebrews 10:26-31 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.
He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:
Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?
For we know Him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto ME, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge His people.
It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

Don't be deceived by that which many pastors are teaching today.
The NT rules set forth for the church do apply to us today.
If you continue in sins, you will damn yourself.
For it is the Word of God who judges you, whether you do good or bad.
