Mark 7 (KJV)

Pharisees

1 Then came together unto him the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, which came from Jerusalem.
2 And when they saw some of his disciples eat bread with defiled, that is to say, with unwashen, hands, they found fault.
3 For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash their hands oft, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders.
4 And when they come from the market, except they wash, they eat not. And many other things there be, which they have received to hold, as the washing of cups, and pots, brasen vessels, and of tables.
5 Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashen hands?
6 He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me.


7 Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.
8 For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do.
9 And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.





13 Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.



14 And when he had called all the people unto him, he said unto them, Hearken unto me every one of you, and understand:
15 There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man.
21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,
22 Thefts, covetousness (Excessively and culpably desirous of the possessions of another. Jealous. Marked by extreme desire to acquire or possess), wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness (lewd), an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:
23 All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.

Colossians 2 (KJV)

2 That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ;
3 In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.




5 For though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, joying and beholding your order, and the stedfastness (fixed in intensity or direction) of your faith in Christ.



6 As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him:
7 Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding (very plentiful; abundant.) therein with thanksgiving.




8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments (principles) of the world, and not after Christ.
9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.




10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality (a state ruled by a prince.) and power:
11 In whom also ye are circumcised (baptized) with the circumcision (initiation rite) made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision (baptism) of Christ:
12 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.




13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision (Spirit can only be cleansed not the flesh) of your flesh, hath he quickened (hurry {up}) together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses (sins);
14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;
15 And having spoiled principalities (a state ruled by a prince) and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.





20 Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments (principles) of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances,
21 (Touch not; taste not; handle not;
22 Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men?
23 Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body: not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh.

Romans 10:9 Confess Jesus is Lord and You're Saved? Why Grace? Jesus' Death In Vain?

Romans 10 (KJV)
9 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.


Paul was speaking to the church in Rome (Christians) already saved.  Not to the unsaved. Epistle [letter] to the Romans. 

The book of Romans is the Apostle Paul's masterpiece, a carefully constructed summary of Christian theology. Romans explains God's plan of salvation by grace, through faith in Jesus Christ. Divinely inspired, Paul passed on truths that are followed by believers to this day.

Paul is aware that there is some conflict between Gentile and Jewish Christians in the Roman church, and he addressed those concerns (chapters thirteen and the first half of fourteen). While the Roman church was presumably founded by Jewish Christians, the exile of Jews from Rome in AD 49 by Claudius resulted in Gentile Christians taking leadership positions. ~ Karmen

What does it mean to NOT believe? ABANDON, DENY, DISBELIEVE, DISCARD, DISMISS, DISPUTE, DISREGARD, EXCLUDE, FORGET, IGNORE, NEGLECT, REFUSE, REJECT, DISTRUST


Believe? What is does not mean is to ignore, neglect and refuse to follow the Word of God (The Bible)





What does it mean to believe? Be certain of, be convinced of, fall for, give credence to, have faith in, have no doubt, presume true, swear by, take as gospel, take it, comprehend, conceive, digest, know, perceive, declare, defend, profess, expect, grasp, judge, conclude, credit, lean on, trust 

HOW CAN YOU BELIEVE IN THIS: 
Romans 10
9 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.

AND THEN NOT PRACTICE CHRISTIANITY? What does it mean to have Jesus, Lord your life?


The scripture that is used by so many who believe that they are saved just by confession take this same scripture out of context.  Just what Satan wants.  The Master of Deception.  People are deceived if they believe that this is all it takes. 

Paul was speaking to Christians.  Jesus' death would be in vain if this was meant for non-believers (those not baptized).  If all we had to do was this, Who would go to Hell? Why would Jesus have to die on the cross?  What's the reason for mercy and grace?

Disbelief: ABANDON
Disregard, Freedom, Impulse, Recklessness, Thoughtlessness, Unrestraint, Wildness, 
Does not sound like fruits of the spirit to me.

Galatians 5:22-23 (KJV)
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

A Believer must not behave as Galatians 5:19-21
19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness (Given to or expressing lust) ,
20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance (conflict), emulations (deceit), wrath, strife, seditions (rebellion to those in authority), heresies (dissension),
21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings (excessive indulgence in sensual pleasures) and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

Disbelief = REJECT:dismiss as inadequate, inappropriate, or not to one's taste.



Mark 7 (KJV)

1 Then came together unto him the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, which came from Jerusalem.
2 And when they saw some of his disciples eat bread with defiled, that is to say, with unwashen, hands, they found fault.
3 For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except they wash their hands oft, eat not, holding the tradition of the elders.
4 And when they come from the market, except they wash, they eat not. And many other things there be, which they have received to hold, as the washing of cups, and pots, brasen vessels, and of tables.
5 Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashen hands?

8 For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do.
9 And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.




Luke 7 (KJV)
30 But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God against themselves, being not baptized of him.




John 12 (KJV)
46 I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.




47 And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
48 He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.
49 For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.
50 And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak





Disbelief = DISPUTE, bickering, brawl, conflict, discord, feud, quarreling, dissension, uproar,

A Believer must not behave as Galatians 5:19-21
All the above are works of the flesh.




Galatians 2 (KJV)
21 I do not frustrate (block) the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.
