raised Him from the dead and though shalt be saved. This is confessing the saviour from sin, then you determine
to live your life by Gods Word changing according to His word which is His Will. Then from this time on when you sin
or break fellowship prayerfully not intentionally we confess the broken fellowship and receive remission of forgiveness
for the current sin or error. It is a lifetime of a walk of discipline. We will sin and that's why we have a Saviour
Praise God.

This discussion came up Holidays 2019, there was hatred towards not wearing masks in donut shop Southern California 80-90 degrees near beach. Teenager asked "wouldn't Jesus just be nice" then it hit me with fire inside my spirit. I replied "Jesus would be the first to bring alarm!" "If they were going to arrest people for getting too close, touching the sick, HE'd probably be first" I could envision HIM hugging & healing people & upsetting the "norm" as "enforcers" would say "HE isn't allowed to do that."
Luke 13:1-17, Luke 13:20-35, * Mark 3:1-6,9,10, *
Hypocrisy of crowds, sporting events, parades, but Jesus crowds? Mark 2:2, hypocrisy= John 19:31, Luke 4:14-44,
not wearing masks, HE'd probably be taking them off, elderly & children 1st. Would the creator of man, mankind, want them breathing carbondioxide, weaking their lungs, hiding HIS glory? 2 Corinthians, 1 John 1:1, seeking to save themselves? Luke 17:33, Matthew 16:35, Luke 8:35, John 12:25, Matthew 6:25
Luke 6:1-19,
John 9:1-7 can you imagine? criminal charges today?
+ HE actually gave commands to heal the sick, Matthew 10:8, Luke 10:9, Acts 4:28-30,
"The saddest thing about all the hate, meaness, is when this is over, people will remember how badly they were treated" "let's try to remember that & be kind"
Matthew 25:39
It's almost 2022. Those mandates have caused division, job loss, depression etc., yet what proof of any good?
To further answer your question: I have been in much prayer about it & I do not take lightly any scripture. I believe in USA we are a "Nation under GOD" being The People we are the ones with the Governing authority as per The Declaration of Independence, The US Constitution & all States Constitutions. The people putting forth "Mandates" know they have not authority to call them "laws" they are therefore those that "resist the power & Ordinances of GOD" & the Higher power is GOD.
Hopefully these are helpful.
No. We're free to go to Church any day of the week that suits us.
The Sabbath Day has always been observed on Saturday. The Sabbath Day is a Day of rest. God created the Sabbath Day at the creation of the world, God rested on the 7th day.
Mark 2:27
"And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath:"
In creating the 4th Commandment, God gave us a day to rest our body and mind, and to also reflect on God, to give thanks to Him, and also to allow us to do good things on this day, as Jesus demonstrated by healing and helping those in need on the Sabbath Day!
I look at Sabbath/Saturday as a gift from God, and use it to rest, pray, help others when I can, and just rejuvenate my body and mind! I've found in the past that if I don't make it a habit to observe Saturday, then I just end up doing all of the same worldly things that I do during the regular work week, hence I fall into the same worldly Rat Race mindset.
God Bless.
Mark 2:27 And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath: (The Sabbath is a rest day, if it is on any day)
Galations 4:10 Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years. v 11 I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain.
Matthew 12:8 For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day. (Read verse 1-15)
In addition to prayer, God also wants us to help ourselves. Here's some scripture for you.
Colossians 4:14 Luke, the beloved physician, and Demas, greet you.
Luke 4:23 And he said unto them, Ye will surely say unto me this proverb, Physician, heal thyself: whatsoever we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in thy country.
Jeremiah 8:22 Is there no balm in Gilead; is there no physician there? why then is not the health of the daughter of my people recovered?
Luke 5:31 And Jesus answering said unto them, They that are whole need not a physician; but they that are sick.
Matthew 9:12 But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.
Mark 2:17 When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repent
God provides mankind with gifted minds in a multitude of various fields, including Medicine, Pharmacy, and other varied fields including psychology: the science or study of the mind and behavior. God provides us with these people that can help and cure, or at least help us to manage our health, both physically and mentally.
A wise person will not rule out a service provider based on their religious belief or lack of. That's like turning down emergency bypass heart surgery because the doctor might be an unbeliever. Could be the greatest heart surgeon of all time, but not doing it. Can't let you fix the hole in my roof because you're not a christian.
Be wise, and humble and look at all your options, including prayer.
God Bless.

Since the beginning of creation, God rested on the seventh day, and he also gave man this day to also rest our minds and bodies. Since God created us in his image, he understood (like him) that we also needed to resthence the gift from God of the Sabbath Day to us (Man).
Mark 2:27
"And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath:"
The 1st day of the week is Sunday, and the last day of the week is Saturday. The weekly Sabbath Day has always been Saturday and is still to this day!
With all this said, you can still perform additional research to satisfy yourself regarding the Sabbath as the info is readily available on the web.
Hope this helps!
God Bless.
Yes, God wants us "his children" to keep all of his commandments, including the Sabbath which is the 4th commandment.
Jesus and his disciples kept all of God's commandments while here on this earth.
God gave us a wonderful gift in the Sabbath Day, enabling us to rest our minds, and bodies, and time to pray and contemplate God, and all that we have. God knows us best.he created us!
Here Jesus reminds us that the Sabbath Day is for us.
Mark 2:27
"And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath:"
I can not understand why anyone would want to disregard this commandment.
I will strive to keep all of God's 10 commandments.
God Bless.
My last revelation came after reading Mark 2:19-22. The revelation focused on verses 21 and 22.
Mark 2:21 No man also seweth a piece of new cloth on an old garment: else the new piece that filled it up taketh away from the old, and the rent is made worse.
2:22 And no man putteth new wine into old bottles: else the new wine doth burst the bottles, and the wine is spilled, and the bottles will be marred: but new wine must be put into new bottles.
Addressing the second verse first, what was given to me is that the new wine is the blood of Jesus. The old wine skins are unbelievers, while the new wine skins are those who have been born again in Jesus.
Remembering at the last supper Jesus shared bread and wine stating the bread represents his body and the wine his blood, it was revealed to me these verses are representative of being reborn in the Spirit.
If unbelievers 'drink' the blood of Jesus, due to their unbelief, the wine is as wasted as if it were spilled on the floor. As for the unbeliever, they will not enjoy His promised life eternal. However, when a 'born in the Spirit' drinks the blood, their rebirth occurs and the wine/blood nourishes them to their very being. His promise of life eternal is theirs.
As far as verse 21, it remains about the Pharisees & other spiritual leaders being without true belief but preaching what they believe their followers want to hear so they (the leaders) are worshipped, glorified, and praised. Jesus's words, teachings, earthly death and resurrection are the new patch that will unravel the old teachings, as taught by those looking for self-glorification, when tested.
I encourage you to have open eyes, ears & hearts to receive His message.
How about copying and paste it, then send it to your friend.
God bless.
Popeye, Precious friend, I will pray for you - hope this helps:
God's GRACE In our infirmities
(1) Read Romans 5:1-5, especially take note of verse 3, "we glory [rejoice] in tribulations." We are not instructed here to glory in spite of the trials of life we find ourselves in, but we are to rejoice because of them. That is to say we are to thank God for allowing times of suffering into our life. This passage of Scripture expressly states that The Lord uses the tribulations of life "to conform us to The Image Of His Son" ( Romans 8:29). To this end, He uses all things "to work together for good to them that love God, to them that are the called According To His Purpose" ( Romans 8:28). As we grow mature in The Lord, our Savior is Glorified. As believers in Jesus Christ it is given us "in behalf of Christ, not only to believe on Him, but also to suffer for His Sake" ( Philippians 1:29). (Borrowed from brother Ed Bedore) My study:
(2) After Paul [our #"pattern"# for Today!] prayed 3 times for his affliction, the "Answer he Received," According To The Scriptures, Was:
"And HE [CHRIST] Said Unto me, MY GRACE Is Sufficient For thee: For MY Strength Is Made Perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory [cp] in my infirmities, that The Power Of CHRIST May Rest Upon me!" ( 2 Corinthians 12:9) cp ( 2 Corinthians 11:23-30)
(3) Compare With GRACE Scriptures: ( Romans 5:1-5) ( Romans 8:18) ( Romans 8:26-29) ( 1 Corinthians 10:13) ( 2 Corinthians 1:3-4) ( 2 Corinthians 4:17) ( 2 Corinthians 12:9) ( Philippians 3:21)
#"pattern"# = Paul = ( 1 Timothy 1:16) ( Philippians 4:9)
Please be Very Encouraged In The LORD JESUS CHRIST And His Word Of Truth!
Psalms 73
Christ Came for the Sinner to die on the Cross.
Mark 2:17 (KJV) When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
God bless.
Jeremiah 17:24And it shall come to pass, if ye diligently hearken unto me, saith the LORD, to bring in no burden through the gates of this city on the sabbath day, but hallow the sabbath day, to do no work therein;
Jeremiah 17:22 Neither carry forth a burden out of your houses on the sabbath day, neither do ye any work, but hallow ye the sabbath day, as I commanded your fathers.
Exodus 31:15 Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to the LORD: whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death.
It's nothing to GOD if you have perfect attendance or not because there's really nothing we can give HIM that HE doesn't have. But at Church we're still instructed to never be absent (we have 3 days of Church services; some have perfect attendance since they were saved, some come and go). So now we go to Church for our own good to receive blessings from HIM: material, physical, and Spiriutal blessings.
We just have to be thankful to GOD that there's this one place for us where we can go to serve The LORD GOD by:
1) singing praising songs to HIM
2) praying to HIM
3) hearing HIS messages through preaching
4) testifying for HIM
5) joining others in setting up The Church and serving HIS followers
If you get that feeling of not going to Church, whether it's a building or a humble place, then maybe it's time to search yourself first. Pray, fast, sing praising songs to GOD, ask for forgiveness for your shortcomings, and cry for mercy, love, and forgiveness, ask for His sweet Holy Presence. And let HIM lead you wherever HE wants you to be. HALLELUJAH! PRAISE THE LORD!
When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
I believe the verse above to be true but how do I tell this to a father or mother with an afflicted child to aid them without getting them angry? The truth is revealing and hard but it is the first step to being healed. One problem is people immediately look outside instead of inside.
I know anyone can be healed but they must first realize they are the problem or the problem is within and repent before the healing can happen.
feel free to comment.
Hello Helen,
Just a few scriptures that say about the bride/bridegroom.
Matthew 25:1-46 - Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.
Ephesians 5:27 - That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
Mark 2:19-20 - And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them? as long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.
Revelation 19:7-9 - Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. (Read More...)
Revelation 21:2 - And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
Isaiah 54:5 - For thy Maker is thine husband; the LORD of hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called.
Zelma Shalom
"Sin that doesn't bother you as before". Usually, the reason for this dilemma, is because we have been entertaining that sin in our lives for too long, making it acceptable & justifiable in our minds. And when that one sin becomes acceptable, usually there are other sins that are lining up for your approval. Sin has to be seen for what it is. To the person without Christ, he has a list of commandments in the Bible, even his own conscience, that will alert him to what is sin & what displeases God. To those in Christ, the Holy Spirit within immediately checks our spirit & thoughts when sin is at the door or has even been allowed inside.
Suggestions? Go back into the Word, read & digest what God sees as sin & bring up that sin(s) before Him. Is there anything other than that specific sin that is holding back the Spirit of God from speaking to you? Even things such as wilfulness, obstinacy, anger, pride can be easily overlooked, that prevents the Spirit from breaking through to speak to your heart.
"Experiencing godly sorrow". Godly sorrow is a wonderful thing. The counterpart is a heart full of praise. In both experiences, the heart is deeply affected: one, where there is a wrenching of spirit, being overcome by the depth & volume of sin, & the other, a heart full of uncontainable joy as we get lost in the wonder of the greatness & graciousness of our God.
When a heart is filled with godly sorrow (as for sin), all it can do is cry out in anguish & for mercy. Take hold of God's Word & its Promises. I think of Mark 2:17: "(Jesus) saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance." It is Jesus' Call to all sinners (those sick in soul): that there is full healing when there is repentance.
The Pharisees only perceived Jesus was going to upset their whole way of operation. They would rather have Jesus dead, than change anything about Sabbath, tithes and offerings, helping out the poor.
I will be hated too for it too. Jesus went in and overturned money changer tables, let loose the doves, scattered sheep. WHY? Outside the Temple it was like a New York stock exchange. Clearly Jesus does not want that in His Church.
COLOSSIANS 1:18; 2:8-23, Details what Jesus wants from His New Testament Church.
If we have great need of blessing and help, we give our best and Jesus will bless accordingly. The Churches operate on Tithes, alone. They were not meant to consume the offerings on their church beautification projects. All that is destined to be burned to ashes.
I might ask: if everyone in your household was in bed on the edge of death, would you leave and attend Sabbath, because you were afraid of Not going?
I perceive Jesus as being Very Practical, and Merciful to the problems of mankind. If our household is struck down in bed with COVID, we should be able to summon the Pastors or Elders to come and pray for the sick.
Sabbath is not constrained to a particular day of the week. The Service Times are posted, and people attend on those days. Jesus wants them to be able to get to a service so they can be taught, take communion, give tithes and offerings, receive prayer for healing.
That's why people are sitting home on Weekends. Our society sucks the life out of us with work, low pay, grid-locked traffic twice a day, kid problems, elderly parents that need visits.
Church must be more flexible. It serves people. Not vice versa. Study Jesus's examples in NT
Let's discuss the differences between tithing and offerings.
Jubilee. Is it only for Jewish people?
Am I bad? I think we tithe cause God ordained it. I give offerings because all people need food.
I believe Christians most often worship on Sunday, because that's the example given for what the early Christians did: Acts 20:7
