re grace of TORAH (YAHWEH'S LAW) http://johnlbradfield.com/religion/hebrew-of-the-torah-and-the-christian-bible/

Yes, find the truth simply and unadulterated on worthychristianlibrary.com..... On the forum ??? Sorry, all the pots keep calling the kettle black..... i.e. a wild mix of false teachings, doctrines and ideas.... Remember the forum is wide open - even sons of disobedience have continued posting for decades on the internet, without interruption and without being exposed/ (or at least not stopped; sometimes made known, but then ignored for 'convenience' sake' ) ...

Realizing, almost certainly (in Harmony with all of Yahweh's Plan, His Word, and HIs Purpose) , that even the gentiles in the OT and the NT, whether strong in faith or weak in faith, when seeking Yahweh, both willing and joyfully and obediently without question observed and honored Yahweh's Sabbath on the 7th Day, and relied on the Jews / Jewish believers immersed in Yeshua's Name/ to know how and to learn how to "approach" Yahweh since the gentile peoples/ nations/ were as written "without hope" and "without Christ" until Yahweh took down the barrier between. The weak in faith did not have the arguments about the 7th Day Sabbath, no, but about other days, and about foods and washings and such, that were not the commandments of Yahweh written in stone, and written in the heart of all who follow Him in truth and love and grace and power and life.

re Matthew 17: Is this the time when Jesus then told the two disciples with Him to "tell no one this vision" ? (until some time later)

LONDON HAS ELECTRICITY ? ....... wow......... What happened to all the chimneys and fireplaces and coal burners .... ? (remember Mary Poppins, and also that 'orphan boy' , and , that little girl who got to see the queen, whose dad had been injured in the war in another country, and she was put in a 'home' and then mistreated through the movie ..... ?)

Will the state / country/ other government do anything to make sure that when children are taken or sent to a religious meeting, they are taught the truth, with no harm to anyone ? (including no practices nor teachings of serving bad powers, nor idolatry, nor greed, but only self-sacrificial living taking care of others as a way of life as Jesus teaches all the time ? )

Looking for the larger power (certainly identified in God's Word) that was before , and besides, and within, and over the religious powers (all of them, not just rcc, throught the ages) that are not in Christ Jesus nor part of Him ..... Actually, perhaps identified in Scripture several times and ways ? (the works thereof that Jesus was sent to destroy) Simply: what is even bigger evil than the one world religion, and the one world government, and who deceived the internet users who are still under its power ?

ONLY in a few places , ONLY in the assembly of the ekklesia immersed in Jesus' Name, born again not by blood, nor by flesh, nor by the will of man, but of GOD, ONLY 'there' is there union with Jesus, and thus peace and joy and righteousness in Him, without wrangling over useless things , or over words that are empty, or arguments that are vain .... As ekklesia did in Scripture, in the first century, they "endured" together in Christ Jesus , except for the ones who departed: who could not bear the cost of truth, or who could not wait to see it (at the time/ maybe later they did) . When Yahweh grants understanding of Scripture, it is not different here, different there, different anywhere - no. when Yahweh grants understanding of Scripture, it is TRUTH. Uncompromised. Unchanged TRUTH. Completely in Harmony with ALL of Yahweh's Plan, Purpose and Salvation in Jesus, and not contradicting ANY OF HIS OWN WORD - no contradictions for those who WAIT FOR HIM. (for uderstanding, for life, for all that is needed in life in this life and in the next) .....

It seems to be a real paradox. ( SELAH)

Many people don't know nor realize they are oppressed by demons, and their family and church often have no idea either. It is also as Jesus said - He could not do many miracles in some towns, because the people were so full of unbelief (the usa is known for this by worldwide ekklesia for about a century, +/- whatever )

What happened to the "core" of 'Christianity' centuries ago ? From worthychristianlibrary.com: Worthy Christian Library » A.B. Simpson » Danger Lines in the Deeper Life » Chapter 2 – Sinning and Repenting Chapter 2 – Sinning and Repenting “And the anger of the Lord was hot against Israel, and He delivered them into the hands of the spoilers that spoiled them, and He sold them into the hands of their enemies round about, so that they could not any longer stand before their enemies. Nevertheless, the Lord raised up judges which delivered them out of the hand of those that had spoiled them, and yet they would not harken unto their judges, but they went a whoring after other gods, and bowed themselves unto them. They turned quickly out of the way which their fathers walked in, obeying the commandments of the Lord; but they did not so. And when the Lord raised them up judges then the Lord was with the judge, and delivered them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge. For it repented the Lord because of their groanings by reason of them that oppressed them and vexed them. And it come to pass when the judge was dead that they returned, and corrupted themselves more than their fathers in following other gods to serve them. and to bow down unto them; they ceased not from their own doings, nor from their stubborn way.” Judges 2: 14-19. This, in a few sentences, is the story of the whole Book of Judges. It is a story of sinning and repenting. It is a picture of the Church and the Christian in a state of deep declension, and it is a declension all the more deep and dark because it followed a condition of the highest spiritual blessing. It came, not as the wandering in the wilderness did, after their deliverance from Egypt, but it came after their victorious entrance into Canaan, and their enjoyment of the life of victory and the fulness of God’s blessing. Its historical parallel is the story of the Dark Ages in the history of Christianity, when for centuries the Church sank into apostasy and worldliness, and for a thousand years the light of truth and holiness was almost wholly blotted out; and this after the story of Pentecost and the light of apostolic days..." .... .. much more there, on this site, in the library.....

20But I have this against you: You tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess. ---------------------------------------------- God loved the world, but He never promised to save it all...... especially not, no, not those who refuse to repent: Revelation 2:21 I have given her time to repent of her immorality, but ... biblehub.com/revelation/2-21.htm - Cached - Similar I gave her time to repent, but she refuses to repent of her sexual immorality. .... old world, that God gave them , "space to repent", but they repented not,

Like in the warning of Yahweh to those believers in Galatians: Do not be bewitched ! (by any false gospel) ... Now the whole world has been and is bewitched, deceived throughout all strata, all society, all along..... Except for the remnant.... Notice the whole world shows up online, to combat against God's Word and God's Purpose and God's children. Yet the remnant , even though "almost deceived", are kept by Yahweh safe and secure by His Word ....

Do not sin. Stop sinning. Refuse to sin. Have nothing to do with sin. "The Will of The Father" in Christ Jesus for all who love HIM, who are called according to HIS PURPOSE: Instead of walking in continual darkness, come out to the LIGHT (JESUS), and remain with HIM (JESUS) in the LIGHT. Worthy Christian Library » A.B. Simpson » Practical Christianity » Chapter 1 – The Practical Discipline of Life Chapter 1 – The Practical Discipline of Life “My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into diverse temptations.” “Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love Him” (James 1:2, 12). ... "In conclusion let us learn to find in God the secret of blessing and victory under all conditions and circumstances, and even to turn the hate of Satan into an occasion of victory and blessing. Thus shall the curse be made a blessing, sorrow turned into joy, and even sin so conquered that grace shall much more abound. " ------------------------------ So that "grace shall much more abound" , and the works that the Father does, are the works that the children of the Father does, every one of them/us in Christ , not ever, never, no not ever doing what the children of the devil do. (what we all once did, the way we all once lived, when we all were still children under the power of the prince of the air) (Ephesians 2) ------------------- The children of Yahweh, ekklesia born again in Jesus, do works of righteousness every day, daily, as the Father leads us and tells us always in line with all of His Word by Grace in Jesus the Messiah Savior King of the Jews Redeemer Friend Comforter and Teacher. All over the world, the children of Yahweh live in union with Jesus, daily, always, continually - always seeking Yahweh's Kingdom, always rejoicing in what is TRUE and RIGHT, as Yahweh permits, by His Grace, Amein !

The enemies of Christianity are among us, opposing God's Word, as always since the first century when the Word of Yahweh says clearly "there are (already) many anti-christs among us" ... How will they learn to repent ? How can they learn to repent ? Can they learn to repent ? If so, how ? The whole world opposes God , opposes His Son Jesus, and opposes His children (ekklesia, born again ones). This is nothing new. It is all around us, everywhere.

When people are told "go and do as you have already done, live as you have lived already (in sin)" no wonder they are confused - in a fog .... What does God Say ? : Leviticus 19:2 "Speak to all the congregation of the sons of Israel and say to them, 'You shall be holy, for I the LORD your God am holy. Deuteronomy 18:13 "You shall be blameless before the LORD your God. 2 Samuel 22:31 "As for God, His way is blameless; The word of the LORD is tested; He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him. Matthew 5:47 And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even Gentiles do the same? 2 Corinthians 7:1 Therefore, beloved, since we have these promises, let us cleanse ourselves from everything that defiles body and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. Ephesians 5:1 Be imitators of God, therefore, as beloved children,

< shrugs > the je**its seem to be doing what they can to prevent full disclosure, to keep the truth "classified" / not available to the public....

The world, and all the anti-christs among us, hate Jesus, hate God, hate God's Word, and hate God's children. Perhaps many multitudes of others , those potentially not lost forever, so rarely see God's children in their lives, they don't understand or know how to respond.

When a sheep follows Shepherd, the sheep's only choice is to follow, or to not follow, not to decide if the Shepherd is right or wrong. The sheep do not have to figure out if something is wrong or not - the Shepherd clearly tells us, always, all the time. Hearing His Voice is Jesus Word- "My Sheep Hear My Voice, they will not follow another".... So few are following Jesus, someone may be hard pressed to find anyone as an example in person, in life; so Scripture may be the only guide , as Yahweh reveals to all who seek and keep seeking His Kingdom (never stop). When following Jesus, when living in union with Jesus, no one has a desire to sin. It is not only disobedient and repugnant to sin, it is not even a thought that occurs to them. A new heart and new mind and new spirit are Yahweh's gifts along with salvation in union with Jesus to those who are His, who love Him and who are abiding in Him, in union, and are called according to His Purpose, as shown always in His Word (Scripture).

hmmm... '"...Another piece of evidence in favor of a literal Babylon is a literal Israel. As we saw in our discussion concerning Babylon is Jerusalem?, the OT passages dealing with the destruction of Babylon compare and contrast her with Jerusalem. This was one reason why Babylon cannot be Jerusalem. It also provides strong evidence that Babylon is to be taken as the literal city because Jerusalem is taken that way in the same passages. ... "

. . "Many will say" referred to by Jesus do live in sin, but they don't think they do - they think somehow they got saved, believing as multitudes do today that they don't have to repent, and that they are "certainly" going to heaven..... Jesus tells them nope, bye. forever.

Yahweh's Word is Inspired by Yahweh, and only Yahweh (and Yeshua) are able to grant understanding, as Yahweh clearly states throughout His Word.

Amein friend..... Romans 1:25 KJ21 They changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshiped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
