    Dear Child of God it is wrong to go to church on the Sabbath as Christ has died on the Friday and rose up on the Sunday. That is why on Friday Night fall the Sabbath starts and on Night fall on Saturday it ends......

    Sunday is the day to go to Church...Christ Yeshua has risen. You may praise God every day and worship God every day do your prayer everyday But you Rest with God on Saturday....You do not buy nor sell on this day. If you need to heal a man on Sabbath that to is ok.

    God bless you
  • Richard H Priday on James 5 - 3 years ago
    The focus of the first 11 verses are on patience; and characteristics of behaviors that are warnings; particularly for the last days before the judgments of the Tribulation. The danger of heaping up precious metals such as gold and silver for treasure (v. 3) is that it can suddenly be devalued (as is likely once the Mark of the Beast occurs and all currency is eliminated). This; along with any other provisions are only blessed by God if done in faith; if we somehow think we can survive God's time of wrath this way we are sorely mistaken.

    Verses 4 through 6 again are pertinent whether we are discussing dictatorships today; or Caliphates that are still harboring slaves. Lest we think the United States is exempt; there has been a history of migrant workers receiving unjust wages; and sex slavery traffic flowing through our country as well. We have also for our own gain been complicit with other nations that enact such practices.

    Verses 7 through 11 once again state the theme of patience; with a focus on suffering as Job did; with instruction not to complain in verse 9; but also the theme throughout this book is on how the poor are characteristic of those who are saved. We must remember that even if someone does have wealth; they can still be saved; but also Christ's admonitions about the ensnaring tendencies of such a person; and those who walked away because the comforts of this world were put above the Kingdom of God.

    Verse 12 once again shows how our oaths and vows are not to be taken lightly. This shows that things such as a marriage covenant made before God brings condemnation should we think we have the authority to enter into another relationship when the spouse is still alive. We only need to look to the Gibeonites and the vow of a man in regard to the first thing coming out of his house as being dedicated to the Lord in the Old Testament to see the necessity of keeping even foolish vows to God. The rest of the chapter shows effective prayer.

    Sorry dear brother but I will disagree on "You can go to church any day. The Sabbath Saturday is a day of rest. Remember Christ died on Friday and rose up on Sunday So Friday night fall is when the Sabbath starts and Saturday night fall When the Sabbath Ends that is why we go to Church on Sunday.

    You may heal on a Saturday if need to save a life on that day....But Not going to Church please be careful what teachings you give to the children of God. For everything you say and do is written in your book of life and will be used against us all at our judgement day....Please Do Not teach if you have Not been called dear child.

    God bless

    Dear Juames many Christian today pray only when they need things of this world. You can Not pray for the material world for that world belongs to satan. God knows what you need dear Child. Just pray the Lords prey that is all.

    What you need God will see to it, Not what you want from this material world.....our Father God knows your name and you will not go without and if you do go without he is testing you child. For we are tested everyday for he looks for our Faith in him.

    Thats how he strengthens your faith when we go without for a little while.....

    God bless you

    Dear SolaScrip.

    You need to read what you are referring to again. It has probably become a misunderstanding. Grae

    see here similarities with the prodigal son who returns and us who have received grace before God. And has been justified by our faith in Jesus Christ.

    We go to Him and receive forgiveness. Just like the son who goes to his father after floating away the whole patrimony.

    In order not to have misunderstandings, it is good to refer to a scripture place. :) Then most people will be enlightened. If i understan this right can u can read about it in Luke Chapter 15

    God bless us all with understanding and wisdom in His Holy Name Jesus Christ. Love u all in Christ.

    Dear Brother your church has lead you astray for the Laws of God can Not be broken. Your church has taught you all that the Laws of God are no longer biding. This is a false teaching...

    Matt 5:17

    Whoever therefore breaks One of the Least of these commandments and teaches men so, shall be called least in the Kingdom of Heaven.

    It every clear in the Book of Revelation how important it is to keep Gods Commandments.

    REV 14:12

    Here is the patience of the saints, here are those who keep the commandments of God and the Faith of Yeshua.

    REV 15:3

    They sing the song of Moses, the servant of God and the song of the Lamb.

    REV 21:3

    Behold the Tabernacle of God is with men and he will dwell with them and they shall be his people, God himself will be with them and be their God.

    REV 21:27

    But there shall by no means enter it anything that defiles, or causes an abomination or a lie but only those who are written in the Lambs book of Life.

    So the 4th commandment the world has broken, Keep the Sabbath day Holy a day of Rest from all labours

    the Sabbath is Saturday the Seal of God the world has broken.

    Sunday is the day of worship Christ Yeshua has risen.

    Saturday = God is the seal

    Sunday = Yeshua has risen.

    God's children have the Laws written on their hearts.....Return back to God and you will feel the Holy Spirit like Never before. It is satan that has deceived the world with the Sabbath Why? because he knows if you brake ONE of the least of God commandments you will Not enter the Kingdom of Heaven.....

    God bless you

    The power of the cross belongs to those who believe the word of God. The more you drink of it, the more power you shall have of it!

    The world will never understand this power, for they they are spiritually discerned. The world judges according to appearance, and not righteous judgment!

    Jesus said if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, this would be enough too move mountains! The power of the Holy Spirit is yours! Only Believe!

    Repent and be Baptized
  • Apostolic Evangelist - In Reply - 3 years ago
    Dear Sister the Antichrist is here there is No Rapture, what your church has taught you is incorrect. This is why Christ said follow No Man follow me but we all followed a church and our pastors understanding of scripture.

    We have entered into the greatest Tribulation of Man kind. The antichrist know the scriptures and have brought them forward we are at war with satan's men. These are not the end times.

    REV 9:13-21

    200 Million Horse riders with fiery breastplates, (meaning death)

    Hyacinth Blue & Sulphur Yellow to kill a 3rd of Mankind by these 3 plagues.(Vaccines)

    Freemasons wear Blue & Yellow

    Covid Nurses & Doctors wear Blue & Yellow

    EU flag is Blues & Yellow

    World Health Org Flag is Blue & Yellow

    These are the Antichrist coming with a vaccine I pray to God you all stay far away from these Vaccines, If you have taken the Vaccine Repent quickly and turn back to God and his Laws.

    Turn back to the 4th Commandment that the world has broke to keep the Sabbath Saturday Holy.A day of Rest from all labours.

    Sunday is a of worship Christ Yeshua has risen.....

    Saturday = God for God is the Seal of Sabbath

    Sunday = Christ Yeshua has risen.

    God bless you Marie.

    The same as Jesus spoke to the centurion in Matthew 8:13 we speak the same word of faith for you for your Grandma Johnnie!

    Go thy way; and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee in Jesus name!

    Jesus says speak the word only and believe! We stand in agreement with you and with His word!

    Let us give Him thanks and praise for what He has already done!

    May God surround you and your family with His love!

    For His Love conquers all and God will never withhold anything good from those who call upon Him!

    Praise Jesus! God bless!
  • Apostolic Evangelist - In Reply - 3 years ago
    That is correct dear Brother for God is the Seal of the Sabbath the 4th commandment to keep the Sabbath Holy a day of rest with God...If you look at the book of revelations you will see how important it is to keep the Sabbath Saturday.

    For nothing defiled will enter the Kingdom of Heaven and the children of God that keep the Sabbath will sing the song of Moses the servant of God and the song of the Lamb REV 15.3

    REV 14:12 Here is the patience of the saints here are those who keep the commandments of God and the Faith of Yeshua.

    Our Christ name is Yeshua.

    REV 21:3 Behold the Tabernacle of God is with men and he will dwell with them and they shall be his people God himself will be with them and be their God.

    So you are a very bless child of God for the Laws of God are written on your heart... God bless you
  • Apostolic Evangelist - In Reply - 3 years ago
    The falling away has began the Antichrist is a movement that represents them selves as a House of God.

    ACTS 17:24 God who made the world and everything in it since He is Lord of heaven and Earth Does Not dwell in Temples made with Hands.

    Nor is He worshiped with Men's hands as though he needed anything since he gives to all life, breath and all things.

    These churches are your Hillsong etc. Born again Christian churches where one is told that Gods laws are No longer biding. That Jesus is the Sabbath and that you no longer need to keep the 4th Commandment for Jesus came to fulfil the laws.

    This is the falling away......

    For it clear in MATT 5:17

    Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches men so, shall be called least in the Kingdom of Heaven.

    Many Christians are so heaverly indoctrinated by a mans understanding of scripture and when they come across someone trying to tell them something new that their church did not teach they shut themselves off to the information little do they know that God has sent you this person to correct your knowledge, and the child that has itchy ears starts to listen to this information and goes to seek the truth.....this is why the Apostle Paul called it Itchy ears, for the Holy Spirit guides you to listen to whats been said for you to go and seek the Truth. Follow No Man Christ said. Follow Me. No man should teach you scripture A Bible should be read when you are alone with God and allow the Holy Spirit to guide you....Meditate on One scripture at a time let it sit in your head for a couple of days and when God sees you trying so hard to work it out he sends the Holy Spirit to help you.

    God bless you Kim.

    It's nice to follow you brothers, in a way it's right everything u al write and refer to. I will try and come up with an input that is about daily life with Jesus Christ.

    First, He never sleeps. Why do we have to? Yes The body of sin Screams for sleep. And then we know, we who have read a bit, that we have some good words that explain us about sleep in Proverbs 19:15 and Proverbs 20:13

    I have to get a little personal here now. For my uncle, it can be said lukewarm. Think it's okay with Christmas and elves. Hymns and songs. But do not give up the self to anyone other than oneself. This is a stage where a person can become proud and stubborn. So how can I see that he can surrender to Jesus. Because we have some words that make it not "my business" to see who gets fair or not. I leave it to the Holy Spirit.

    1 Timothy 1:9

    Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, Here we clearly see who the law is for.

    2 Timothy 3:16

    All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

    So what does that mean to be fair and righteous? Firstly, James 5:16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

    1 John 2:29 If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him.

    Romans 6:1-4

    Romans 6:13 Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.

    Proverbs 4:18

    Romans 6:1

    We have so many benefits we who are born after Christ! There is nothing to wonder about. He who believes is saved and righteous. He did this once for all. 1 Corint 15:22
  • Grae - In Reply - 3 years ago
    Actually I'm wrong , I have no problem admitting that . We don't actually hear of Christ breaking the law , his disciples do frequently and he tells the Jews that to b a part of him they must break the law but if we read carefully , Jesus doesn't break the law , he justifies his disciples when they do . Think about that please . When his disciples break the law ,Christ justifies them to the Pharisees , or the lawyers . He covers their law breaks with....scripture , the spoken word of God .He is their righteousness , he is also ours . He doesn't break the law himself , he fulfills it,and yet......even though he hadn't broken the law ,the Jews twist the law in order to justify crucifying him ! The law can b twisted and manipulated by humans , to use to there own advantage . That's what the Jews did . The law , according to humans , is open to interpretation . That means twisting . If we read about what Christ did and said and we take his words and behaviour to our hearts and let him live there then he will show us what to do . It's a bit of a cheesy saying but it's perfect in its simplicity : What would Jesus do ? Obviously we have to know the answer to that question , and we can only do that by reading the Bible . Read , re read and read again , let Christ into your heart and mind , he is the way , he will tell u how to please him and God .
  • Grae - In Reply - 3 years ago
    Also , I've never said that we should ignore the ten commandments . I've read and understood Galatians and all the other New Testament books . Therefore I don't believe that I am obligated to follow the entire law to the letter in every situation in my life . It's impossible to keep all the law perfectly , therefore it makes lawbreakers ( sinners ) of us all and therefore worthy of nothing other than death as pronounced by God . The gift of God to Christians is life , in Christ , who willing offered himself to b the perfect sacrifice to cover all of our sins which we all commit every day . Christ did what we can't , he fulfilled the law . We can't . We r now under the grace of God , in Christ . We r not obligated to keep the whole law and we couldn't no matter how hard we tried . There is no forgiveness under the law . David ,as a foreshadow of Christ ,was forgiven for his breaks of the law , because through him God was showing us the future covenant in Christ . Saul died for his law breaks , he represents the old covenant , the law of Moses . Why should Saul die for his law breaks and not David ? They r foreshadows of the old and new covenants . Jesus said that whoever even looks on a woman to lust after her is sinning . My guess is that he was telling us that we all sin in our thoughts , where does sin come from ? Our thoughts first , then we act on and speak our thoughts but even if we leave them in our head they r still sinful . Christ changes our heart , remember ? He's come to turn the hearts of the father's to their sons etc . If we let the spirit of Christ into our hearts he will show us what we must do in any given situation , he is the perfect example of what God wants us to b like ! We need to follow his perfect example . He occasionally broke the law , he trusted in God's love and mercy and thats what we need to do .

    Dear Richard D. Fairhurst - in Reply on Genesis 1. I was touched by your post and think the same. So let us once and for all no longer rely on wealth and prosperity. Let us seek Him who can give us everything we desire. Evan in the life after this.

    I read a few words in Proverbs the other day that made me realize that we must give more of our prosperity because we have promises. Example in Proverbs 19:17 He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD; and that which he hath given will he pay him again. And

    Proverbs 19:23

    And those who have been before us they remind us in Acts, of what we can do. Belive always Jesus Christ.

    Stay blessed friend s in Jesus Christ Holy Name. Love u all in Christ.

    Dear Aaron, i see what u mean. Thank u and i belive soo the public is not the same as chiefs :D. And in public we dont know all things who have happend and dont know from day to day. We can se that in this corona virus thing. In Northen Skandinavia is all open for all now. Hospital have some restrictions. And Canada it goes beyond all bounds. And if i remember correctly, Canada was the first to also have the chip implanted in humans.

    And a few years ago, Swedish and Norwegian citizens received a survival letter delivered in the mailboxes about what they should do if something unforeseen should happen. So yes the authorities know.

    God bless us with visdom and understanding. We are the ones living in the last days, yes. And many missionaries are aware of the end-time judgment TODAY. People are killed for their faith in Jesus. We also know that the day of the Lord is near. We who seek to find His will with our lives.

    Still, it is good to know that our time is coming to an end. Therefore, it is important now that everyone who understands this. Surrenders their lives to the Lord in full surrender. This also applies to the material things. We can not even rely on our salary. And it probably will not get better. But the followers of the Lord are happy and winners always in the Holy Name of Jesus Christ, we have hope in our heart. That He have given us. Come Dear Jesus come soon. Amen. Love u all in Christ, that is the only thing left of the law. Stay blessed.

    - "Were the sons of god mentioned in the old testament the ones who went in unto the daughters of men and bred the giants (Nephelim)?"

    Yes, see Genesis 6. It is plainly stated in v4. This is why God decides to destroy all flesh except Noah who is perfect (whole) in his gene-rations (DNA?). Also see Genesis 3:15 and notice there will be a serpent's seed and the woman's seed.

    - "Now I know that angels cannot breed, so that rules them out."

    The Bible says that the angels in HEAVEN are not given in MARRIAGE ( Matthew 22:30 & Mark 12:25). It does not say the angels do not have the ability to rebel (we know they do) and leave heaven to procreate with women on earth. Jude 4 references God punishing angels harshly who left their first estate (heaven) and own habitation. Why? Well, cross reference Genesis 6: they cohabitated or married and bore children with women against God's will. Remember the two seeds in Genesis 3?

    - "The men who first began to call upon the name of the lord were called the sons of god. So could you clarify for me?"

    Actually, this is a myth about the line of Seth. Genesis 4:25 mentions Seth having a son named Enos and then after that men began to call upon the name of the LORD. The Bible does not call them sons of God. Mankind lost that sonship when Adam sinned. It is only restored after the cross when one receives the Lord Jesus Christ ( John 1:12).

    - So who does the Bible refer to as sons of God?:

    "sons of God"

    Referenced 5 times in the OT & is always a reference to heavenly beings directly created by God.

    Referenced 6 times in the NT for the saved who are born of God.

    "son of God" in Luke 3:38 is reference to Adam when he was created directly by God.

    "Son of God" is references 46 times. 45 times in the NT for the Lord Jesus and once in the OT ( Daniel 3:25) is a reference to the Lord pre-incarnate.

    Hallo Grae :) Good question personally I think only God has the answer to this. We know that God has not forgotten them.

    Many that are first shall be last; and the last first." Mark 10:31

    It is Jesus who says these words in connection with the fact that everything is possible for God. Among other things, Jesus says in the passage here: in Mark 10:24

    God bless us in Jesus name and in time we will understand all. Be happy and stay saved in Jesus Holy Name.

    Dear friend Genesis 1:1

    In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

    2And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

    3And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

    4And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.

    5And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

    6And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.

    7And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.

    8And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.

    9And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.

    10And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.

    11And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.

    12And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

    13And the evening and the morning were the third day.

    personally I think He would be in a light, or see the light.

    Jeremiah 3

    Hi Marsha,

    In Christ love - be aware that the LORD is always in the business of reconciliation. HE is the GOD of many chances. V7 He says "...turn thou unto me." v12 He shows His long suffering and willingness to call on us many times. He says "... Return, thou backsliding Israel, saith the LORD; and I will not cause mine anger to fall upon you: for I am merciful, saith the LORD, and I will not keep anger for ever."

    Then v13 tells us "... Only acknowledge thine iniquity, that thou hast transgressed against the LORD thy GOD..." Verse 14 proclaims that GOD will take us in and bring us to Zion. In our case unto heaven.

    May the LORD GOD bless you and keep you, as you call on the living and merciful GOD to save you. February 17, 2022 Happy belated Valentines Day!
  • Aaron - In Reply - 3 years ago
    Ronald,

    You are on the right track. I will add that Revelation 6 covers 6 seal events prior to the day of the Lord, 6th trumpet. Uniquely in ( Revelation 6:12), the 6th seal earthquake becomes the 6th trumpet moon to blood, and sun to sackcloth of hair (from smoke of attack on Babylon), at the day of the Lord.

    The tell is vs 17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?

    Christ said the attack on Babylon would be a surprise, on a normal sunny day. There must be a small amount of daylight between ( Revelation 6:14) and ( Revelation 6:12). From the vs 14 "scroll" to the 6th trumpet, just past Revelation 6, could be a year, a month, a day and an hour? ( Revelation 9:15). It is very interesting.
  • Chris - In Reply - 3 years ago
    As I continue to look at the Scriptures you share Cecil, I find that I don't see what you see. I'll cite two of your examples.

    In the case of Isaiah chapter 13, Babylon is denounced, with God sending out His "sanctified ones" (v3). These were the Medes (Persians) who overthrew Babylon in 539 BC (refer Daniel chapter 5, especially vv 22-31, when Belshazzar, king of the Chaldeans (Babylon) was slain & his kingdom given to the Persians). But indeed, in Isaiah chapter 13 we see both the destruction of actual Babylon as well as prophecy of the Day of the Lord & that Babylonian spirit in the nations that come against Israel in the latter days (vv6-11). To see particular countries by name here, is upto one's imagination & without scriptural support. Isaiah chapter 47 being the song of triumph over Babylon with reference once again to the spirit of Babylon within the nations.

    Ezekiel 21:19-23: Ezekiel draws on the ground a fork in the road; a fork that the King of Babylon has to decide on - one leads to Rabbath of the Ammonites & the other to Jerusalem. Not knowing which fork to take, the king when he comes to it, uses divination to ascertain the correct road. With two arrows marked accordingly & use of images & the liver of a sacrificed animal, he is prompted to take the right fork - towards Jerusalem. But to those of Israel who gave allegiance to Babylon, the divination seemed false as an attack on Jerusalem seemed impossible (v23).

    I just share the above two examples of Scriptures to show how divergent our understanding is on this prophecy & probably on most of them. If prophecy is for a particular people & for a particular time, then we can't change it to mean whatever we think is plausible or fits our jigsaw. Certain things are similar or will be replicated for the future, but to stick to the prophecy as intended is the only way to understand & accept it; for me anyway.

    S Spencer,

    It's funny you mention that. I have noticed when I lose my sense of humor, my rhythm gets knocked off balance, I'm different, my REM sleep suffers, and I have no timing. My thought pattern becomes dark and limited. Only when I can smile is when I feel at home. It doesn't happen often, even so, I have empathy for those who greatly suffer. It always makes me muse about God assuring me that things have changed into the new heaven and new earth.

  • Chris - In Reply on Matthew 3 - 3 years ago
    Hi Lisa. You've probably read the whole of Matthew chapter 3, where the view there is of John the Baptist baptizing in the Jordan River & many folk coming to him in response to his message to repent. Amongst those coming to him, were some of the religious leaders (the Pharisees & Sadducees). Did they come with the same understanding as the others, stating that they were sinners in need of such declaration? But John looked at them sternly & stated those words of condemnation in Matthew 3:7-10 to them.

    Those religious leaders came physically to be baptized but their hearts did not align with John's message of baptism with repentance. They came in pride of their heritage in Abraham, that their salvation lay in being God's elect & not because of a personal heart examination. They came with their own interpretation of the Scriptures & adding more rules & regulations that bound a heavy yoke on the people & so made themselves superior by giving those extra requirements. They came pretending to show piety whereas their hearts were full of themselves & not full of self examination. They should have been exercised in heart in how far they had strayed from God's pure Word & ought to be lovingly teaching & guiding the people by it.

    So John was questioning the motives of these leaders, that they ought to bring forth fruits (evidences, demonstrations) that come with a penitent heart, & not dead decaying evidence to which God's Axe would one day come to that tree of death, to destroy it.

    From your testimony of a backslidden life, the first step forward is recognition of your sad state, the weight of unforgiven sin you feel, & the grief that brings to a Holy God Who has given His all to secure you into His family. When you humbly come to Him, & not as those religious leaders, He will forgive you, accept you without reserve, fill you with His Spirit, & give you joy for this life & hope for the life to come. Luke 15:10; 1 John 1:9; John 1:11-13. Bring all this to God in prayer.

    Were the sons of god mentioned in the old testament the ones who went in unto the daughters of men and bred the giants (Nephelim)?. Now I know that angels cannot breed, so that rules them out. The men who first began to call upon the name of the lord were called the sons of god. So could you clarify for me?
