When an infant / thru 3 years old/ observes the Sabbath of Yahweh all their life as Yahweh instructs the parents to train up the child in the way he should go, he never argues about it, enjoys as always his time with his father and mother and brethren or siblings if any, and 'understands' like a little child, with faith, pure heart, and joy, (Yahweh's Gifts)..... and has already learned to listen to Jesus, the Good Shepherd, to hear His voice, as Jesus Says, as the Father is well pleased also to reveal salvation to the infant, for it is the Father's Good Pleasure to do so.

Because "most people" are not forgiven, and are continuing in sin, willingly, resisting God's Grace. They already chose to remain in the darkness (if they don't like judgment or criticism) , because their deeds are dark, and when the light (Jesus) comes close, they don't like it. Jesus said "Rejoice when people get mad, even furious with true judgment and criticism, = it means the truth is too close for comfort." (and their conscience is still salvageable or alive/ active/ so they might be saved, forgiven or redeemed of the sin they haven't repented of)

As Jesus told His disciples, you cannot do this yourself, nor if thinking you can... Jesus tells His disciples: If you think you can make it, you have failed already, but if you trust in your heavenly Father to accomplish your salvation(in every way, so many ways we are saved from ) AND everything concerning salvation in this life and in the life to come, it is ALREADY DONE. (truly, we can rest in Him, though we work "harder" than ever then as we serve HIM) ....

no, "altruistic love" is not necessarily Godly Love. God Loves us : He always does what is best for each person and for all people, without fail, in perfect judgment and justice. If anyone Loves God, they obey God, as Jesus Says Clearly in Scripture. Without willing obedience with and in faith in jesus, there is no love. i.e. Love is not an emotion nor a feeling (God's Love). It is a choice, a gift, and yes, it is possible for everyone who is born again. (not for anyone who is not born again, unless God accomplishes this somehow) .... Self-sacrificial lives/ living, is included. Again as Jesus Says. "Getting is not the way; self-sacrifice is the way to live: I know you don't know how (Jesus says to His followers) - come to ME, and I will ShoW you how to live; learn from ME." Trust the Father in Heaven to accomplish this, choose to trust and obey Him, His Way, as no man can who trusts himself or who puts any trust in the flesh.(they are cursed by the Father, as He Says, who trust in the flesh) .....

You said. That is still speculation. (no basis (except as you said PLAINLY your own speculation (guesses, predictions, right or wrong) for anything in the OP) Nothing you posted looks like anything except speculation. There's no reason so far to think anything you posted is not speculation.

Did you read the OP ? The first sentence in the OP makes everything in the OP following the first sentence SPECULATION. What is speculation ? >> from online : Examples of speculation in a Sentence He dismissed their theories as mere speculation. The book is just a lot of idle speculation about the future. Her speculations leave many questions unanswered. He lost everything in foolish land speculation.

If the OP is correct, it is all your own speculation. Who wrote the OP ?

A fact that many seem to miss was that Yeshua and all His disciples were Torah observant, seventh-day Sabbath and Feast-keeping, kosher Jews, who - contrary to popular belief - never preached against Torah observance.

This makes it completely speculation, and not from Yahweh.

What good are any predictions when they are not from Yahweh's Revelation, nor in line with His Word, and not the way He Says to testify of His Word ? (we (ekklesia) are not supposed to speculate or guess on anything related to His Word)

This is wrong, of course, and not according to ALL SCRIPTURE, so then, who told you or convinced you to say this ?

As God's Word Says, man's "own understanding" is wrong - cannot be trusted. Do not do what man says, not even yourself like this. If someone takes a life, their life is required of them. So committing murder , taking things into your own understanding, is much worse and evil. The days on earth are evil, very wicked. Yahweh (God) does not give men the "choice" to kill others, unless they want to die themselves, and far worse judgement be upon them for killing.

DELIGHTFULLY in YAHWEH'S WORD, Hebrew language etc, Hebrew/Jewish thoughts and way of life etc, they always immersed in water (living(flowing, 'breathing?' ) water, btw --- not standing or stagnant water) in Jesus' Name. Then , of course, though Yahweh made all things simple, man messed up and came up with many devices.(deceptions and deviations from truth, departing from and opposing His WORD, rejecting Jesus leading)

AMEIN and HALLELUYAH ! TORAH written in stone, TWICE! .... do not think Yahweh meant to be ignored!? Then, when Yahewh Himself writes TORAH in men's hearts, DOES YAHWEH make a mistake? Does He "slip up" and make errors ? NO! How do the messengers of Yahweh put this : in faith we do not abandon TORAH, rather we support TORAH ! (the way Yahweh means for it to be used, NOT the way of the unfaithful scribes or religious teachers)

without any regard at this point , just focusing on this statement/question: YES! completely missing the point. The key is to see , Yahweh Willing, in Scripture (as described very well in worthychristianlibrary.com as noted before) , WHAT does anyone who is in ekklesia seek, and do, and continue to do , all together as a group, and individually? WHERE can you go see God's people living ? (tested, proven, walking and living in the light(Jesus) ) ..... as His Word Says. p.s. ASK them, when you go somewhere, IF they want to follow Jesus. Ask them directly, in person. Pray constantly (for days before asking them) , and then observe them (maybe ask some more questions as God leads you), and see if they follow Jesus, or if they follow someone else. Who do they talk about ? Who do they pray to ? Who do they seek at all times to obey ? As God says "Choose TODAY who you will follow" ...... The Corinthians were falling down a lot (from the message Yahweh sent to them), but they were still called His ekklesia, right? The Galatians were tempted to follow another gospel, (from the message Yahweh sent to them), but they were still called His ekklesia , right ? Did they tell one another ----- let's go party and sin and revel today.... then some day come back and serve and worship Yahweh ?

nah...... never on this forum...... < eyes roll >

The topic/ the subject/ everyone with ears to hear ... ------- being perfect, as Jesus says "you must be perfect" to all the disciples. No, it did not happen at once. No, the disciples EXCLAIMED (at several points) ---- HOW THEN can we (the disciples with Jesus, even the Apostles) BE SAVED ? And Jesus told them what ? "You can't" if you trust yourselves to accomplish this. If you think you already have it made, then you have already failed Jesus told them. BUT, if you completely trust by faith in your FATHER IN HEAVEN to accomplish your salvation (and everything concerned with salvation) now, today, in this life, and in the life to come, THEN you are already saved - it is already accomplished. As Jesus told them another time (the Apostles and disciples) : "You are ALREADY in the KINGDOM, (now, today, as we speak ), START LIVING LIKE IT."

Christ is not within most people on earth.

Like a broken crutch, don't lean on it, it won't hold you up - it squishes !

So ? the pickle can get moldy, go bad, become UNedible, UNuseful, UNalive, a real disaster ! Can Scripture be broken ?

No, stop thinking about this. READ THE BIBLE, and ask the FATHER to reveal what HE MEANS, and HE WILL, to everyone who is born of Him, who seeks the truth, and keeps seeking the truth (every day). In the Bible is the description of believers, their lives as ekklesia, born again by the WILL OF GOD, and set apart (from the world) by HIM) , Living as HE says to Live (not like most churches or groups today even know about ) ..... i.e. do not think about this - seek this - seek Yahweh's Kingdom , NOT man's imitation, nor the devil's, but GOD'S TRUTH.

When a mother is in labor for 2 days, after a full term 9 months pregnancy, and the baby is born, does the baby get up in the morning, make breakfast, and go to work ? YES ! (but not for some number of years, eh?)

When did God take away your free will ?

Well, per the title of this thread, it is as well about multitudes of people who are lost, yet deceived into thinking they are saved, and they willingly (wittingly or unwittingly) remain in the dark, on the wide road to destruction, for whatever reason, (several disclosed in God's Word), and perhaps, whether much prayer, or GOD'S GRACE, something changes, SO THEY WAKE UP FROM BEING DEAD, and do not remain unsaved, deceived, headed for judgment .....

Pick some search terms for an example , and 9/10's or more that comes up will be fraudulent, fake, or not even related any more. (btw, the amount of totally false infomation on the internet has grown outrageously in the last 5 to 10 years, every year, and is getting much worse every day , daily, now) Pick "Christianity" and MORE than 9/10's that comes up on the internet is DEADLY FALSE (if believed). (because more than 9/10's of the world is pernicious, give or take a few million or billion) "at least it can be checked" ...... "if there are enough hours in the day" .... AND if Yahweh grants understanding , opening the mind to appraise all things, and granting very very literally REVELATION of the TRUTH, all TRUTH, in CHRIST JESUS and everything else related to LIFE, as HE IS PLEASED TO DO for infants (little ones) ; test everything , by HIS WORD, as HE GRANTS REVELATION of HIS WORD; always keep seeking HIS KINGDOM.
