If you people don't think that the devil will trick or treat you than you are sadly mistaken because he will that is his job to trick you and to deceive you. This vaccine has a chip in it that has made by Bill Gates it will show your bank account your life history. They will scan it and enter your name and the computer will connect the chip to your government files. So with this being said the devil will deceive you by any means he can. In about three years Biden will issue an order that all Americans get the vaccine. If you refuse to be vaccinated you will not be able to sell are buy with out the chip in your hand are your forehead. Than the military will come in and you will be shipped to a conservation camp where you will stay not being able to sell are buy anything until you die or they kill you

This writing of the Apostle Paul is so true of today; women working that which is against nature, and men drawn by their lust toward one another. This is a sign of the end time. Those that in their heart knowing what God has ordained for man they look for ways to please themselves not God, because don't believe in God. Searching out ways to stop the mouths of Christians due to the fact it convicts them of sin and seeking others to run with them and do the will of the flesh and walk into Satan's plan for destruction of man kind who was created in the image of God and for His pleasure. Oh how close the day of the Rapture is for those who are looking for His, (Jesus') appearing. Even so come, Lord Jesus...

S Spencer, There is no proof in Acts that the disciples changed the Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday. The meeting with the disciples in chapter 20 was a one time event. The church was not born there: but the church of God was purchased by the blood of Christ; verse 28. I have not been able to find anywhere in the KJV scripture, the phrase "The Lord's Day" being used to describe the Sabbath Day.

S Spencer...Are we not sojourners and grafted in with the CHILDREN OF ISRAEL ? Maybe some of us are direct descendants. The 10 commandments are eternal creation covenants made by our Creator, which preceded the complete formation of the Nation of Israel, and nothing in the New Testament abolishes any of the 10 commandments. Many of the ordinances, laws, and punishments yes: but NONE of the all encompassing 10 commandments. I have been through many of the same arguments that you give from Paul's writings. If I did agree with you that his writings abolished ANY of the 10 commandments; then I would be listening to man and not God Almighty. So in closing, I will ask you not to judge me in Remembering the weekly sabbath day (the 7th day), and to keep it Holy as instructed by the LORD my God. Additionally, The Messiah Yeshua Hamashiach instructs me in John 14; 15 that if I love Him, I will keep His commandments: and John 15; 10: showing that He always keeps His Father's commandments. Lastly I will no longer recognize pagan holidays such as ishtar/easter, or Nimrod's "christmas". I will do my best to learn and celebrate Biblical Holy Days such as Passover and the Feasts. Shabbat Shalom.

please keep myself and daughters and there famlily in your prayers

2 Esdras 2:35-47 Be ready to the reward of the Kingdom, for the everlasting light shall shine upon you for evermore.

Flee the shadow of this world, receive the joyfulness of your glory: I testify my Saviour openly.

O receive the gift that is given you, and be glad, giving thanks unto him that hath led you to the Heavenly Kingdom.

Arise up and stand, behold the number of those that be sealed in the feast of the Lord;

Which are departed from the shadow of the world, and have received glorious garments of the Lord.

Take thy number, O Sion, and shut up those of thine that are clothed in white, which have fulfilled the law of the Lord.

The number of thy children, whom thou longedst for, is fulfilled: beseech the power of the Lord, that thy people, which have been called from the beginning, may be hallowed.

I Esdras saw upon the mount Sion a great people, whom I could not number, and they all praised the Lord with songs.

And in the midst of them there was a young Man of a high stature, taller than all the rest, and upon every one of their heads He set crowns, and was more exalted; which I marvelled at greatly.

So I asked the angel, and said, Sir, what are these?

He answered and said unto me, These be they that have put off the mortal clothing, and put on the immortal, and have confessed the name of God: now are they crowned, and receive palms.

Then said I unto the angel, What young person is it that crowneth them, and giveth them palms in their hands?

So he answered and said unto me, It is the Son of God, whom they have confessed in the world. Then began I greatly to commend them that stood so stiffly for the name of the Lord.

Yes Chris, and great thoughts indeed! I'm sure everything was all part of God's perfect plan and timing. It still amazes me how when Jesus rode into Jerusalem that the Jews still didn't know that He was their Messiah. Luke mentions the fact that when Jesus rode into Jerusalem and wept over Jerusalem, He told them that "If you had only known this your day, you would not have rejected me."

So if somebody had a calendar going, they would have said "Hey, today is 173,880 day. Messiah is supposed to be here!" But they missed it, and Jesus rode into Jerusalem, the very day God had planned. Yes, we do have to wonder why Jesus couldn't have proved Himself to be their Messiah. We know He had the power to do so. Certain things just can't be answered I guess. Well, it's off to bed for me. Have a great evening (or day where you're at) my brother!

Jesus was dead on the Sabbath day. It was on the first day of the week that He came forth from the dead. And when we turn to the resurrection account in the Gospel of Matthew (which was written primarily to Israel), it opens with:

In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week. Matthew 28:1.

"At the end of the sabbath" - not just the end of a day, but the end of keeping the Sabbath day - "it began to dawn toward the first day of the week." That is tremendous!

Pentecost - The Church Was Born

Then we turn to the Book of Acts, and there we read that the church was born - and not on a Sabbath day, but on the Lord's Day, the first day of the week. Notice Acts 2:1:

And when the day of Pentecost was fully come.

What does the Bible mean by "fully come"? Does it mean when the sun had come up? No.

It means "When the day of Pentecost [and all of which it spoke] was come." That which Pentecost had symbolized in the Old Testament is now come. It was the first day of the week, the only first day of the week Israel ever observed - for they observed seven Sabbath days after Passover, and then the day following the seventh Sabbath was Pentecost:

On that day the Holy Spirit came!

On that day the church was born!

Proof they worshiped on a Sunday.

Acts 20:7. And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight.

1 Corinthians 16:2. Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come.

I agree with Adam, we worship all the days of our lives.

God bless.

Hi Jerry.

Exodus 31:13-14, 16-17 (KJV) Speak thou also unto the. "CHILDREN OF ISRAEL, "saying, Verily my sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am the LORD that doth sanctify you.

Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you: every one that defileth it shall surely be put to death: for whosoever doeth any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among " HIS PEOPLE".

Wherefore the ""CHILDREN OF ISRAEL.""shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout ""THEIR""generations, for a perpetual covenant.

""IT IS A SIGN BETWEEN ME AND THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL""

for ever: for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.

Do you noticed he never gave that commandment to the rest of the world?

Now look what Paul says concerning those same sabbaths:

Colossians 2:14-17 (KJV) 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;

And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.

LET NO MAN THEREFORE JUDGE YOU IN MEAT, OR IN DRINK, OR IN RESPECT OF AN HOLYDAY, OR OF THE NEW MOON, OR OF THE SABBATH DAYS:

""WHICH ARE A SHADOW OF THINGS TO COME;"" but the body is of Christ.

Hi Jesse. I do agree, as we see in Mark 1:41-45, that the people thronged Him & probably for the wrong reasons & this forced Jesus to withdraw from them & pursue the Father's Will in His Way & His Timing.

I also see the oft used phrase, "My hour is not yet come" (as seen in John 2:1-5: Wedding at Cana; John 7:1-9: when urged to present Himself; John 7:25-30 & John 8:20: when about to be arrested). It seems that all Jesus' miracles, His talks, even the places He went to, were directed by His Father according to the Plan laid out for Him. The Plan being, that certain things had to happen (not sooner or later) for the duration of those 33 years He lived on Earth. Even though He was encouraged by His Mother, brethren & disciples to do more miracles or take advantage of the crowds that gathered, Jesus knew that the time appointed to Him would be violated by doing so & that all that was necessary for Him to do during those years were foreordained for a reason. And so He could finally exclaim: "that His hour had come" ( Mark 14:41, John 17:1) when He knew that His Work on Earth was nearing completion, culminating at the Cross.

I wonder whether by making Himself more prominent or proving Himself as the Messiah in a greater more dynamic way, would have thwarted the Plan of God for His Life (from the cradle to the cross) and therefore would fail to bring on the full & proper results as the Father had ordained. Just a few thoughts to add to yours, Jesse.

Genesis 5:4 "And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters:"

According to this verse Adam begat multiple sons and daughters. Eventually, one of these daughters met up with Cain and married him.

Isaiah 53:10 "Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand."

According to this verse, it was the Messiah's soul (or life; Hebrew word is nephesh) that was made an offering for sin.

Leviticus 17:11 "For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul."

According to this verse, the life (or soul; Hebrew word is nephesh) is in the blood. Therefore, by shedding his blood, the Messiah shed his perfect life (or soul) to atone for the sin of mankind.

Thanks Carleton. Another great story of how the Lord moves in both the unsaved & witnessing Christian to bring about the salvation of the lost. What we might think as of little consequence in sharing our lives or time with another, can reap mighty results in the Hands of God. This story should renew our desire to share whatever we can, however mediocre, for the blessing of others.

Replying to Adam: I agree with most of your statements, but I must agree with Brian that the sabbath day is to be remembered and kept holy; therefore the specific gathering day for corporate worship is extremely important. Otherwise Lord God would not have made it one of the all encompassing 10 commandments. I also agree with Bryan that the sabbath day was changed by Constantine, while trying to unite pagans and Christians. May God bless and keep you and yours.

Phillip.

Thanks for that wonderful declaration of Hope!! It sheds more light on the scripture when it's defined properly.

God bless you.

Only God can give us the power beyond our own strength. We must look to God and go to him in prayer for help.

Hi Sacha,

I hope you're having a wonderful day.

That helps! Thank you!

Talebearers If you give them attention they will ruin you leaving you with a scar that if proper restitution is not made, the scar lasts for ever. Beware of them. They initiate matters: yet they don't relent taking your word to another person.

Why would he kill his brothers?

"the Hope"; v.6 = Do not apply modern definitions and applications concerning hope from the human perspective (e.g. Ac. 27:20; 1Thes. 4:13) to that DIVINE Hope which GOD instills within believers.

Man bases his hope on using his intelligence and personal abilities to manipulate his environmental resources to bring into reality that which he desires based on chance, possibility, and probability (cp. Ac. 16:19; 27:20). Man often attributes "hope" to the vain superstitions of fate or luck.

In contrast, DIVINE Spiritual Hope is a sure, yet future reality for which saints wait with eager anticipation because GOD has promised and guarantees its fulfillment.

Hope includes DIVINE, guaranteed realities such as

+ Righteousness ( Gal. 5:5),

+ Eternal Life ( Tit. 1:2; 3:7),

+ our Resurrection from the dead (Ac. 23:6; 24:15; 1Pet. 1:3),

+ our future home in Heaven ( Col. 1:5), and

+ our expectation of the blessed eschatological event of CHRIST's Second Coming (1Thes. 2:19; Tit. 2:13).

GOD is The SOURCE of the saint's hope for HE is "The GOD of hope" ( Rom. 15:13). LORD JESUS CHRIST personifies hope for HE is

+ "our HOPE" ( 1Tim. 1:1),

+ "the HOPE of Glory" ( Col. 1:27), and

+ "that Blessed HOPE" for WHOM the saints "look for the Glorious Appearing of The Great GOD and our SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST" ( Tit. 2:13).

The expectation of the sure reality of hope fulfilled in and through LORD JESUS CHRIST encourages the saints and Church to patiently persevere with "hope firm unto the end" ( Heb. 3:6; 6:11; 1Pet. 1:13).

A woman in our bible study group asked: whay are the gifts of the Spirit? Who in the Bible show us an example of each gift of the Spirit being used?

Thank you

Yes... Please

Hi Jill,

Just to be clear

You want scripture on the redemption of Christ whether by blood or by the cross using old testament only?

Hi James,

As I can't tell exactly your detail of "stand up for the Lord". Of coarse we are to keep our faith and hope till the end and never deny our Lord as in 1 Peter 3:15-17.

The state of this world is much worse than many can plainly see. The things done behind the scenes are far worse than many people would believe. The deception going on in this world is huge.

If you are implying maybe it's time to stand up and take our world back by force? I believe we are past that and that is what the "powers" of this world want. As their plans of "divide and conquer" are again deeper than any really know.

I myself have come to peace with what is going on in this world. The only thing that matters, to me anymore, is being with the Lord Jesus Christ and our Father. Even though the earth, and the things in it, are so beautiful it is all vanity. We are all going to perish, our physical bodies, one day and to me that is my destiny and what I wait on daily. To be with the Lord where He is. Not in this world full of evil that is deeper than many know.

I believe staying peaceful no matter what happens is a way of showing the Spirit of Christ in you. Did Jesus Christ or any of His Apostles fight when they were arrested, persecuted, then put to death? As I'm sure you know, no. They stayed innocent and when put to trial just let the Holy Spirit flow in them when asked questions. As Christ probably was the most quiet in His persecutions. 1 Peter 2:21-23.

So as I just felt to write you this reply to show that violence is never the way and nothing good ever comes from it. It is better to stay innocent than to get involved with fighting. Of coarse this does not mean "don't speak the truth" or keep quiet when you see something wrong. Just don't let anger get you riled up too much. God knows everything that is going on. 2 Corinthians 12:9-10.

My reply to you is from the heart. Keep the full armor of God, Ephesians 6:11-17.

God Bless you in these tough times James.

Update: Of interests, perhaps are Federal Osha restrictions likely coming into place. Google Osha news April for most recent information. Look past Cal Osha for federal information. Again, I think the Covid 19 is a test for all Christians as lambs of Christ. God gives grace to the humble.

Please pray for Shirley, she has stage 4 cancer and has a relationship with GOD all her life.
