Casper ten Boom (18 May 1859 – 10 March 1944) was joyful and totally willing to be called a Jew, and JOYFULLY LIVED WITH THE JEWS, and he wore the yellow star with the Jews, and he JOYFULLY WILLINGLY died with the Jews. There were others also. All simple Christians, called Jews ((born or by FAITH in JESUS)), living as Jesus said to . ((Like in ACTS, EPHESIANS, etc)) I'm Christian, born again in Christ Jesus, and Jewish. My earthly father was Jewish, and his parents before him, and their parents before them. Who is calling anybody to repentance TODAY? We're not allowed to most places . We still do, and suffer for it, even unto death, freely, without resisting. Have you read "Tortured for Christ" by Richard Wurmbrand ? He explained why Jews usually reject 'christendom' without rejecting Yeshua HaMashiach.

Besides helping whoever needs help and asked for help, the only other I remember Jesus mentioned was telling them "go and be warm" , or walking on the other side of the street from them ignoring them,and not helping them. Is there another option in Jesus Words or in Scripture ?

How many people ((there are some, but comparatively )) are in a place exposed to snakes these days, vs deceptions of the serpent ((thousands of various religions / false gospels/ false teachers and prophets)) ? i.e. Could the serpents (also) refer to the serpent who tempted Havah(Eve) ? Or, are we not protected form false doctrines, lies the public accepts, and so on ? ((especially with the helmet of Salvation in Jesus! )) Different subject or overlapping ?

That's a relief, partly at least. For further ((one)) example from Scripture, in BOTH the OT and the NT , what were God's people instructed if someone asked them to give them a ride 20 miles ((paraphrased for today's use)) with their back pack or luggage ? ((back then, it was or could be a very disliked soldier, or a person of a different tribe or an 'untouchable')) 1) get a credit history/ do a credit check/ verify employment. 2) help them as able without expecting anything in return. 3) other.

Did you read ACTS recently ? ((there's more, but that's a start)) When one follower of Jesus saw another follower of Jesus being a hypocrite, what did he do ? hint: it was right out loud, in front of everybody. in line with many other Scriptures. And with good results, as expected, or hoped for, I think.

Hardly any brick and mortar seems set up and taught to do simply what Jesus says to do. If you're not gone yet, do you remember how we ((the poor)) get help, from who? And what Scripture confirms God's Plan for our lives no matter how poor we are ? Yes, you saw the bad side of things. Did you also see the good side ? ((as it is written)).

This was a question like a minister taking money from churches for his so-called ministry asked the 'poor' first : "how did you get yourself into this predicament?" always. as if it was their fault, always. And he treated them that way all along through his so-called "ministry" all the while taking money for himself from so-called "sponsors" who didn't know what he was doing.

I guess you answered the question then. ((about who's in charge, and who's not)) btw, my income even with a family of 4 was long time lower than sustenance income for just 1 or 2 people. Since God was and is in charge, I trusted Him to bring us through. He did and He does. I didn't even sacrifice a goat ! RE "...telling me..." no such thing. You missed the boat entirely.

Yes. And a consuming fire, a righteous judge, a perfect creator, perfect in judgment, and perfect in mercy, holy and righteous in all He does. Yeshua equates love((in people)) throughout the Bible with obedience to Yahweh the Creator.((not to feelings or emotions))

Yahweh does whatever He Pleases - He Loves us for no reason at all , freely. Christ died for us while we were still dead in sin and trespasses.((all, everyone))

Doesn't that depend on who rules your life; who is in charge ?

Why are so few right with God ?

Or , as it is written, as Jesus said often, as Yochanan the immerser said, they will believe what the Father reveals to them.((always perfect an perfectly in harmony with all of His Own WORD)) Remember, Jesus said "speak what the Father says to speak, and do what the Father does" along with all the Scripture of His Revelation to His Begotten Children ((all the born again)) AND "living in union" ((not in the future, but NOW, TODAY, ALREADY)) with the Father and Yeshua. i.e. no interpretation, no contorted twisting, no blasphemy or doctrines of demons .

Yes indeed, and in truth - these are common temptations that we all go through and face often, sometimes daily. The answer is always in God's WORD - and this : immersed ((our whole life, not just parts nor just pieces )) in Yeshua, we receive the free gift of salvation by faith in His grace and with Him also receive PEACE, JOY, and RIGHTEOUSNESS in the Breath of Yahweh((set apart Spirit, Ruach HaKodesh)). Peace that passes understanding! ((MY PEACE I GIVE to you HE SAYS; not like the world gives)) Joy unimaginable! Unspeakable ! That NO CIRCUMSTANCE/ torture or death even/ can take away. Righteousness: so we can boldly approach His Throne of Grace to RECEIVE HELP in time of need((ANY TIME, ALL THE TIME)). ....... Now, that's not exactly a practical answer, nor yet a testimony , but the PROMISE OF HIS WORD. Also, remember, like Yeshua, we learn obedience through the things we suffer((physical pain, mental vexation, friends and family leaving and thinking us crazy, arrest and imprisonment for the Gospel's Sake))... Practically, we do suffer the loss of all things. Just as Jesus told all of His disciples. The world is nothing to us. We are dead to the world/ society, and the world is dead to us. Our comfort, is not of this world. Our Shepherd Jesus gave us a Promise: "I will never, never, never leave you nor forsake you "....((Hebrews 13:1-5 AMP)) and that's just a start !! ((of HIS CARE and PROVISION for us for TODAY and for ETERNITY)). NOTICE NOTICE NOTICE: He has requirements. Hebrews 13Amplified Bible (AMP) The Changeless Christ 13 Let love of your fellow believers continue. 2 Do not neglect to extend hospitality to strangers [especially among the family of believers—being friendly, cordial, and gracious, sharing the comforts of your home and doing your part generously], for by this some have entertained angels without knowing it. 3 Remember those who are in prison, as if you were their fellow prisoner, and those who are mistreated, since you also are in the body [and subject to physical suffering]. 4 Marriage is to be held in honor among all [that is, regarded as something of great value], and the marriage bed undefiled [by immorality or by any sexual sin]; for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous. 5 Let your character [your moral essence, your inner nature] be free from the love of money [shun greed—be financially ethical], being content with what you have; for He has said, “I will never [under any circumstances] desert you[nor give you up nor leave you without support, nor will I in any degree leave you helpless], nor will I forsake or let you down or relax My hold on you [assuredly not]!” 6 So we take comfort and are encouraged and confidently say, “The Lord is my Helper [in time of need], I will not be afraid. What will man do to me?”

look in ((read OFTEN)) the epistles in the BIBLE. In the assembly of believers immersed in Yeshua, there's A LOT of telling people what to do and what not to do. IF there's no assembly of believers immersed in Yeshua near or far from you that you can be in, pray a lot that that changes.((IF you want to be in the body of Christ)).

he already did, many times, and multitudes in fact, for centuries.

When it is written 1 John 3:3 Translations. King James Version (KJV). And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure. What do you think it means to you ?

look up that in the New Testament in other places. I may if I have time shortly, Yahweh willing. it surprised me too, last month. it will surprise a lot of people if they read what Scripture says. ((if they accept Scripture as Truth, as Yahweh's Standard)).

The outcome has been foretold for over 2000 years. ((no matter what happens now / ups and downs/ promises or plans of the nation(s) )) No one will be allowed to buy or sell unless ..... ... .. . And the enemy will (again/still/more) be granted permission to kill the believers.

But they can and have been hacked already. And of course, tracked always by the new world order.((which is just fine with the worldly)) And cost OOODLES MORE than a simple vehicle need to.

what ? Yes, the Scriptures are the Truth, the foundation, the standard by which the spirits may be tested, and any message may be tested, as everything that does not agree with God's WORD is absolutely wrong. BUT HE TEACHES US THROUGH THE SPIRIT , NOT THROUGH THE MIND, ALTHOUGH OUR MINDS ARE RENEWED IN CHRIST JESUS. Our minds learn as the messenger of Yeshua, taught by Yeshua , Paul, explain IN GOD'S WORD((SCRIPTURE)): "No, we declare God’s wisdom, a mystery that has been hidden and that God destined for our glory before time began. 8 None of the rulers of this age understood it, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. 9 However, as it is written: “What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived”[f]— the things God has prepared for those who love him— 10 these are the things God has revealed to us by his Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. 11 For who knows a person’s thoughts except their own spirit within them? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. 12 What we have received is not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may understand what God has freely given us. 13 This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in words taught by the Spirit, explaining spiritual realities with Spirit-taught words.[g] 14 The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God " 1 Corinthians 2 on biblegateway.com any translation kjv through ojb and cjb and amp

Of course, that's the plan.((of the enemy of Christ)). many people already ((trust and)) depend on the government to supply their needs - food , water, drugs, clothes, protection.. their / our / right to live independently/ sufficiently dependent on God / is attacked DAILY

So far, it has led many multitudes away from God , away from reading the Scripture, away from trusting Jesus. It's part of an old system devised and meant to deceive and oppress others.

Amen! That's why so uncomplicated-ly the believers in ACTS provided for one another FREELY and SPONTANEOUSLY and JOYOUSLY and COMPLETELY. They TRUSTED YAHWEH in YESHUA MESSIAH completely. Just like recently, Corrie ten Boom, Watchman Nee, Keith Green, and a few others in our lifetime.

It along with the other unbiblical((opposed to the Bible)) things associated with it are not for those seeking Christ once they find Him. He delivers all who seek Him from all sin, sometimes oh so gradually.
