    Grae, your doctrine is very corrupted with modern church lies. Jesus never ONCE broke the law or that would mean He had sinned. If He had sinned, He wouldn't have been perfectly SIN-LESS on the Cross and His sacrifice/Crucifixion would have had no effect. He obeyed every single one of His Father's 10 Commandments His ENTIRE Life. And He absolutely 100% expects those who love Him to do the same.

    John 14:15

    John 15:10

    1 John 2:6

    I am sorry for all who have been brainwashed by modern preachers and teachers of every modern church, as well as big-name pastors on TV and those on Christian Radio. Almost every single one of them preach nothing but unscriptural LIES.

    Jesus did not allow, nor encourage, ANYBODY to break the Laws of God. That is plain silly. Jesus IS God. John 1:1, John 1:14 Nothing that was ever created, was not created by Jesus Christ John 1:3 Therefore, the 10 Commandments written IN STONE as a symbol of their FOREVER standing, were written by Christ and they are HIS Commandments. He lived as an example to all those who would follow His Ways (Christians) and He obeyed ALL those Commandments.

    Post some scripture to support your claims that Jesus did these things, please.

    God bless.

    When you die does your soul go to heaven or hell then?
  • Bro dan - In Reply - 3 years ago
    Dear Apostolic Evangelist,

    Thank you for your response and input.

    You stated: "When the Sabbath Ends that is why we go to Church on Sunday."

    Jesus regularly went to teach, fellowship, and heal in the synagogue/church on Saturday - the Sabbath Day.

    Luke 4:16

    "And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read."

    Jesus set examples like the above, for us to follow. Why would we not follow Jesus lead on this, and worship and help others on Saturday/Sabbath Day as He did?

    Also, I said, and I do believe that I am correct; that we can go to church at anytime, on any day. But, if you believe I am in error, on any of the above, please provide me with scripture to the contrary, and I will review, and change if I am wrong.

    God Bless

    Gal. 5 : 4 ...Whosoever you are that are Justifed by the LAW YOU are fallen from grace...Christ is become as none effect unto you....It simply means we are redemned by the BLOOD OF THE LAMB...Not circumsicion nor uncircumcision....Only that new creature which is the H.G. That Child of Promise ...A baby Christ that results from the heavenly birth....After that woman gave birth to the Child which is a baby Christ the H.G. .... Rev 12.. She keeps the commandments....Simply b/c her Child is the testimony of Jesus...That Child of Promise...The multiplication of Christ in us via his seed the words of the book...that new Covenant.

    .....But all this just establishes the law....Simply b/c we are gonna birth a Baby Christ

    That is gonna result in a marriage...Unless you receive the Kingdom of God as a lil Child

    you will in no wise enter there in....The Child is the Kingdom...After the woman births the

    Child verse 10... Rev 12 : 10 ..It says now is come salvation and the kingdom of our God and the power of his Christ....( THE CHILD )...Thats y he is saying unless you receive the kingdom of God as a lil Child etc.

  • RichFairhurst - In Reply on Genesis 6 - 3 years ago
    Rev 4:10-11 states:

    10The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying, 11Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.

    This is confirmed by God saying at the end of the first 5 days that God saw that it was good. At the end of the 6th day when He created the beasts and especially man in His likeness He said it was very good. The 7th day He rested from all that He created and blessed it. He was satisfied and pleased with creation and put his blessing over all of it.

    The fall has brought the curse and dissatisfaction and wrath as the serpent intended, not God. If Satan can no longer have the pleasure of God and the blessings God spoke over His creation, he has made it his sole purpose with everything in his power to make sure no one else can have it.

    God put enmity between two seeds in the curse of the serpent, the seed of the woman and the seed of the serpent. This was prophetically spoken to make a separation between them in God's new creation, like when he spoke light into existence and separated light and darkness on the first day of the old creation. Cain couldn't stand Able being blessed for offering a blood sacrifice when he wasn't for his earthly offerings. Cain killed Able, which demonstrated Cain was born of the seed of the serpent with his focus on earthly things and hatred of anyone being blessed when he wasn't. Able was of the seed of the woman by faith offerng a sacrifice in the likeness of the one who's resurrection is the beginning of the new creation, Jesus Christ.

    We can overcome the fall, curse, dissatisfaction and wrath God intends for the devil and return to the rest where God is satisfied and pleased with us. But the only way to do that now is to become His new creations in Christ and let the old creation pass away

    Hey Stephen,

    This is not biblical it comes from the Roman Catholic Church; This is called the Assumption of Mary; she was crowned as the Queen of heaven. The Papacy has declared Mary immaculate (sinless). The Catholic Church has elevated Mary to the level of a mediator, Mother of God, advocate, and co-redeemer of humanity, and more that is not in the scriptures.

    If we look back, we see another who had these titles, Semiramis the wife of Nimrod, whose name has changed, who started in Babel/Babylon, with her son Tammuz, after Nimrod's death, the start of Pagan idol worship that included consecrated prostitution. God delt with Israel about this, Ezekiel 8:14 Jeremiah 7:18 you can see more in Jeremiah 44. There is more we can see from the past, in the Old Testament, things that we should be aware of.

    There is much more but may this answer your question.

    God bless,

  • Adam - In Reply - 3 years ago
    I'm not totally clear on this, but it sounds like some are making a case to disobey God, as if it's 'bad' to obey, because maybe some assume that 'works' are 'bad' therefore obeying God is bad and if you don't obey God then you're 'good'? Is this the argument some are making?

    If so, it sounds like something satan would say, because he loves deceiving people with opposites and somehow is effective at convincing even Christians of it.

    What the Bible actually says is that obeying is God is good. Disobeying is bad. There's a page of verses supporting that:

    Link

    Maybe the source of the misunderstanding lies in a belief like this:

    If one desire to keep the law he can't just keep the 4th commandment, he must keep the whole law "perfectly" ALL HIS LIFE!

    This comes from James 2.

    What's interesting about this is some only focus on verse 10 to support their chosen narrative, but if someone reads the whole chapter they see only 4 verses later in James 2:14 it says:

    "What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?"

    So, only 4 verses later busts the narrative that someone is not supposed to do good, not supposed to obey, or even try. It in fact says the opposite.

    Then in James 2:17-20 it says it again that faith without works is dead along with "I will shew thee my faith by my works."

    Then in verse 24 it says it again, then in verse 26, it says it again. Over and over how important good works are to God. If it were not important it would say 'don't do good works', but it says to do good works.

    Verse 10 isn't saying to disobey, but that we can't do it without Jesus! Remember the Pharisees?

    "Keeping the law imperfectly is "still" a death sentence."

    No, we're already doomed sinners without Jesus. We can't earn salvation as its a gift, but that doesn't mean disobey! We must follow Jesus for salvation which includes obedience! John 14:15
  • SolaScrip - In Reply - 3 years ago
    I'm sorry, this is incorrect, Chris. Resting on God's Holy Day Isaiah 58:13, the only day God EVER blessed and made holy, IS the very worship you claim didn't happen for that day. Obeying God's Commandments IS worship of God and those who obey ARE worshiping God by that very act.

    Sin is the breaking of the Commandments 1 John 3:4. So sin does still 100% exist and Christians are fully capable of sinning, saved or not. Therefore the 10 Commandments still 100% exist and are valid for Christians.

    The Laws were clearly given in the OT to teach the Israelites how to be right with God after the Fall of this world in Eden. Under that system, they needed to do continuous sacrifices to cleanse them of sin. Jesus has become the unequaled, perfect sacrifice for all sin and abolished that system of sacrifice with His Crucifixion. All of the Mosaic CEREMONIAL Laws, that were made such a heavy burden by the Pharisees and Sadducees, have been abolished as well.

    The 10 Commandments have absolutely NOT been abolished, and will never BE abolished. That is one of the biggest reasons Jesus did what He did with His life and sent us His Spirit afterward that had been trained up to obey ALL of the Commandments.

    Jesus obeyed ALL the 10 and we are to live as He lived. John 15:10 1 John 2:6

    Christian MEANS follower of Christ.

    The 10 Commandments were the ONLY Commandments God spoke ALOUD to Israel. And they were the ONLY Commandments written IN STONE by the finger of GOD, twice.

    God SPOKE this world into existence. God SPOKE the 10 Commandments into existence - NEVER to be altered or repealed.

    Psalm 89:34
  • SolaScrip - In Reply - 3 years ago
    It is very WRONG to tell Christians that they will be put to death if they try to keep the Commandments and fail. Nowhere in scripture does it plainly state that. Many false preachers/teachers have spread that vicious LIE.

    James 3:2 protects us from such an awful, and abominable, lie.

    Scripture plainly teaches that Christians should obey ALL the 10 Commandments just exactly as Jesus Christ did.

    John 15:10

    1 John 2:6

    What does 'Christian' mean? It means FOLLOWER of Jesus Christ and ALL His Ways. He is the Way and the Truth and the (eternal) Life IF we live as He lived and FOLLOW His Ways. All of His disciples kept all the 10 Commandments, as well as Paul and all later followers of Christ's Ways up to around 300 A.D. when many things were changed by the Emperor Constantine and the later Roman Catholic Church.

    Shame on those preachers and teachers who tell new Christians that they will go to hell if they obey the Commandments of God Almighty. Nothing would make LESS sense than for those who love Jesus and strive to live righteously in a fallen, sinful world to be sent to hell by God.

    Review the 10 Commandments carefully, and prayerfully, and think again if they are so impossible to keep. This is a lie from the pits of hell.

    The Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ, who lived sinless His entire life, was primed during His lifetime to obey the Commandments. That Spirit is put into new, genuine, believers and ASSISTS in obeying the Commandments. Because it is Jesus' Spirit within us that makes this possible it is NOT works salvation. HIS Spirit is doing the WORK because we are not capable of our own power.
  • Deborah on Revelation 1 - 3 years ago
    Hello.

    Thank you in advance for your knowledge and assistance!

    My question is what is the difference between The Holy Spirit and The Seven Spirits of God Almighty before His throne?
  • SolaScrip - In Reply - 3 years ago
    Yes, Bro Dan, and we are to live as Jesus lived. 1 John 2:6

    Jesus kept ALL of the 10 Commandments. John 15:10

    We are to strive to do the same. If we have the Holy Spirit, it is not a burden at all; as you said, and provided scripture, we do it because we love Jesus.

    The 10 Commandments are not at all difficult to keep and James 3:2 has our back when we stumble.

  • JG on Genesis 28 - 3 years ago
    From Pillows to Pillar

    Jacob's reaction called for Action. First he took the stone used to prop himself up and then he made that stand for itself. Now he had understanding why he couldn't just have a soft pillow made of goose feathers or sheep's wool. Even his pillow had to become something. Then he Anointed the pillow with oil. As God promised that He would bring him to that place again, Jacob wanted to come back to a hallowed place. This pillow was now sacred. It was now declared Holy, (just as Moses' rod). This wasn't just a group of stones (v.11) any longer, but now a stone used to make a pillar. He dedicated that pillar to being the beginning of something for God. He even instituted tithe declaring the first 1/10 of his possessions is Holy unto The Lord.
  • JG on Genesis 28 - 3 years ago
    This woke Jacob in more ways than one. He recognized that he had an encounter with God. So the relationship with God began. It was no longer going off of his father's testimony but now he was becoming a man. His reaction was fear that was really an awe of God and the experience that He had with God himself. Finally Jacob had not just recognition but a point of reference for God. This was a "Sign" directly from God beginning with witnessing a "Wonder" (i.e. Burning Bush experience). Jacob gave God the honor by recognizing that it was God's House denying the physical place that he thought he came into. Jacob had entered into The Spirit realm and locations weren't seen on a physical level any longer but a Spiritual location (hence where Issachar received his gifting from). Jacob said v.16 "I knew it not" as if he would have had a different reaction had he known that was God there. God didn't announce or give an invitation. He didn't want to catch him on guard, but meet the real him.
  • JG on Genesis 28 - 3 years ago
    More important he saw God, and God was at the top of the ladder. God was talking to Jacob when He recognized Himself as the God of his grand-father. Then He made Jacob a promise. He told him that He would give the very ground he was on to him and his children (another promise). Then he promised Jacob that he would have a large family that would span all directions. Not just that the family would be large but that they would be blessed. God affirmed Jacob by telling him that HE is with him. He comforted Jacob by letting him know that he wasn't alone. Then He letting him know that it wasn't just the geographical location that he was in but that He would keep him wherever He went. Not just be with Him but God promised not to leave him. ***Don't leave me alone neither God. He promised to stay with him until the fulfillment of His Word.
  • JG on Genesis 28 - 3 years ago
    Jacob was in the position where he was just kicked out of the house with a pseudo excuse of "go be a man" find a wife. Really they were all afraid that Esau was going to kill him. In a time of distress when things seem should have been bleak, he sat down to rest and that's when The Lord visited him. He came to him at night when he was "dead to world" or dead to reality. Jacob couldn't even have a good night's rest, he had to lay his head on stones. His head had to be put on some things harder than he was. Already he was in an unfamiliar setting, but God knows how to peak your interest by placing you somewhere unsuspecting. Jacob seen something not known to man, a Heavenly portal. What he saw was the ascension and descension of Angels.

    Interesting interpretation and application of Scriptures. Would be nice if you shared how you came to your conclusion of the 1000 years of desolation on the earth after the tribulation.

    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!

  • Mishael - In Reply on Genesis 6 - 3 years ago
    Because God is Love. He wanted us on earth to be loved and give love back to God (because we want to). Also, to give love and be loved by our fellowman.

    God gave us freewill so it could be our desire to worship and love God. Facts are, Satan was in the garden too, and planted seeds of doubt in the first couple.

    Our lives become a lot simpler when we live our lives within the love of God and leadership through Jesus.

    Someday we can live in that place that is not corrupted by Satan's jealousy and his purpose of hurting the objects of Gods love.
  • Ronald Whittemore - In Reply - 3 years ago
    Hey Aaron,

    I was just pointing out; Revelation is similar to a book or movie that is written in a way I think is called, a frame story or cross-cutting. It is like John wrote it down as he was shown, he may have been like Daniel when Daniel was shown things, he had not a clue of its meaning like Daniel 7:15.

    Like what you said about Babylon, daylight between vs 12 and vs 14. If you look in Rev. 17 the ten kings/kingdoms/countries hate the whore and they destroy Babylon. In Rev. 18 we see Babylon is fallen and what effect it has on the world. Babylon will be destroyed before the second coming of Jesus and the verses you listed.

    These ten kingdoms/countries are the same that go out to make war with Jesus Revelation 17:14 and we know how they end in Rev. 19. Can we know what countries will be involved in these final days before it starts? Is Babylon a country or city or something else? It is called a whore; the mother of harlots and fornication is done.

    There are many teachings out there but who is right? We may have to come to a point and accept some things have not been revealed to us. We must be ready to face what is coming, it may not be what we have been taught. My understanding, we will face what many believers in Jesus faced in the past. They were not spared from going through tribulation or being killed and we will not either, we must be ready to face the end, even if we are facing death.

    God bless,

    RLW
  • Richard H Priday on 1 Peter 1 - 3 years ago
    The concept of sanctification in verse two follows a pattern that in the END; will result in salvation of our souls (verse 9). This demonstrates that faith must continue until the end; and as other verses in scripture demonstrate fruit must be produced. We must look at John 3:16 in a similar manner; he who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life is in context and grammar indicating a faith that is continual in scope. It is His faithfulness; ultimately that those who have been foreordained (verse 20); but in real time it is manifest; or shown and that in the characteristic of saints walking in the Spirit. Verse 22 has another interesting point; the "unfeigned" love of other believers. When we see many fellowships more like social clubs; the command to love one another is truly not met. If we see the Body as a visual representation of Christ in His church; the agape love of sacrificial lives is what is meant. Too often there is companionship with those of like interests or family members rather than those who hold us accountable in prayer and confessing sins to one another. We are too timid to exhort one another or rebuke one another; deferring to a misunderstanding of verses where we are told not to judge one another. If we love someone; we want the best for them; and will do whatever it takes to facilitate that.

    The last few verses once again force us to examine our hearts; to make sure natural talents or attributes are not what motivates us; but those affections that come from above. Those in the prosperity gospel movement or music industry need to carefully examine this in light of the medial propaganda that cannot clearly be differentiated at best from that of the world.
