"sacrimental" isn't holy. it's idolatry.

All knowledge of the flesh - religious, politic, medic, social, familial, is as worthless compared to the everlasting experience living abiding in JESUS! And, of course, it must all be crucified. RESURRECTION LIFE ! is for TODAY! in JESUS ! Most people probably don't think Jesus is God. Believing He is God doesn't save a person either, for that matter.

man's tradition is contrary to Scripture in many ways, so it won't / doesn't make sense for those who adhere to God and His Word.

Before Jesus Returns, all the Jews will cry with all one heart and one soul and one spirit "BLESSED IS HE WHO COMES IN THE NAME ADONAI! " just as in His previous entry into Jerusalem.

a few years ago, the mob started laundering their money that way - online 'pretend' sales, like they used to do thru savings and loans, etc ..... also some business, unscrupulous, may inflate the price/ apparent value/ of their stock/ inventory that way so they appear to be millionaire companies instead of penny-ante.... and many have collected bogus insurance payments from thousands to millions of dollars that way, or gained some other fake advantage in bankruptcy and so forth - typical american ingenuity.

Way way BEFORE protestants, Jesus brought a sword ....... Then a little while later, the waldensians.... then a little while later, the anabaptists ..... so, all along, almost, there have been some true believers even when the whole religious system(s) and the whole world was far far astray. so too today. God saved for Himself a remnant in every people , country and nation.

Perhaps. People here and most places don't care.

Luke: (maybe chapters 6 and 21?) 22 Blessed are you when men hate you, and when they cut you off, and will reproach you, and will cast out your name as evil, on account of the Son of Man; 23 rejoice in that day, and leap for joy; for, behold, your reward is much in Heaven! For their fathers did according to these things to the prophets. 24 But woe to you, rich ones, for you have your comfort! 25 Woe to you, those having been filled, for you will hunger! Woe to you, those laughing now, for you will weep and mourn! 26 Woe to you when all men speak well of you, for their fathers did according to these things to the false prophets. 28 But when these things begin to happen, have courage and lift up your heads, because your salvation draws near.

Jesus put the scholars in their place. He didn't bless them.

It can't - too many rules would be broken that are in the terms of service.

As KING of the Jews.

Conviction and Repentance also is feasible at least in small groups. People's lives are potentially at least more open and exposed (as in the NT) , and people must repent or leave in accordance with God's Directions.

there's nothing new under the sun, as this woman's testimony with Scripture shows: " God judged Jerusalem, taking them out of the land, either by death or captivity. The case against them? Murder, forcing foreigners to pay for protection and depriving them of justice, oppressing the poor, robbing the needy, mistreating widows and orphans, killing their own children, false accusations leading to death sentences, idol worship, adultery, rape, extortion, Ponzi schemes and abandoning the Lord. Though they had warning, they did not turn from their ways. See Ezekiel 22. When God judges the earth in the end of days, people will suffer, but they will not turn from their ways***: “But the people who did not die in these plagues still refused to repent of their evil deeds and turn to God. They continued to worship demons and idols made of gold, silver, bronze, stone, and wood—idols that can neither see nor hear nor walk! And they did not repent of their murders or their witchcraft or their sexual immorality or their thefts.” ‭‭Revelation‬ ‭9:20-21‬ ‭NLT‬‬ Why do we stick to our guns, doing what is wrong and not heeding the warnings of destruction? I don’t know as a whole, but individually I know my story. When I left God, wanting to do things my way – I was full of self-reliance, pride and desires. I thought I was right and I was willing to justify myself. That didn’t do me any good, because only Jesus can make things right, though his blood and sacrifice on the cross. I have no power. God woke me up through discipline and pain. When the pain became greater then I could bear, I turned back to God. What is the threshold of man. It is individual. Who will turn and repent for their own good? We can only pray for our loved ones, that they will see the light. Dear Lord, open the eyes of those who are blind to your call. Let them hear and see you for who you are. That they would know the Savior of their souls. In Jesus name, amen S. ***this has been happening all over the world and the usa and in most churches for the last 100 years, whether or not this is the end times.... .... ....

footnote for research: the after-effect/ pain and itching anytime even years after chken pox may be alleviated with b vitamins, "anecdotally"(to be legal). likewise, the bacteria have never developed resistance to some God given things. Look it up. (again, to be legal)

What is God's Word ? Whoever seeks the Truth will find it. Whoever trusts in flesh, God curses them. Rather be blessed ? - Seek First God's Way. There is no second. (no other way that is right).

Seek God's Kingdom, and much will be revealed to you that is revealed to few if any in your life, most places. Found this on a search for other topic, yet seems appropriate here also (since demons are so prolific worldwide) > (search to find her sermon online if wanted) > by Corrie Ten Boom Topic: Spiritual Warfare Scripture(s): Ephesians 6:7-20 Description: "We cannot do anything, without Jesus we can do nothing." The bible does not have any suggestions but commandments. Corrie Ten Boom shares on the subject of spiritual warfare through her experience and the scriptures. We must have Jesus as our foundation and only support we stand on as we contend and resist the demons and the evil one in this earth. 43823 downloads

yes, 'research'. find the original language/meaning. no one, nothing, is "removed" nor "taken out" in the original Scripture, and it doesn't fit in when mis-read that way either. keep seeking, and God's WOrd is that you shall find. The truth is just not popular.

can't prove it here/ in the usa

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ephesians+4&version=MSG;AMP;NKJV;TLB (several translations at biblegateway, all in agreement with all God's Word) The Old Way Has to Go 17-19 And so I insist—and God backs me up on this—that there be no going along with the crowd, the empty-headed, mindless crowd. They’ve refused for so long to deal with God that they’ve lost touch not only with God but with reality itself. They can’t think straight anymore. Feeling no pain, they let themselves go in sexual obsession, addicted to every sort of perversion. 20-24 But that’s no life for you. You learned Christ! My assumption is that you have paid careful attention to him, been well instructed in the truth precisely as we have it in Jesus. Since, then, we do not have the excuse of ignorance, everything—and I do mean everything—connected with that old way of life has to go. It’s rotten through and through. Get rid of it! And then take on an entirely new way of life—a God-fashioned life, a life renewed from the inside and working itself into your conduct as God accurately reproduces his character in you. 25 What this adds up to, then, is this: no more lies, no more pretense. Tell your neighbor the truth. In Christ’s body we’re all connected to each other, after all. When you lie to others, you end up lying to yourself. 26-27 Go ahead and be angry. You do well to be angry—but don’t use your anger as fuel for revenge. And don’t stay angry. Don’t go to bed angry. Don’t give the Devil that kind of foothold in your life.

The prince of the air , the devil, and most pastors /religious leaders/ already have told their listeners that it is okay to get the chip. Most if not all of them were offered benefits if they will go along with and promote what the government of the devil is doing on earth. Many, or most, or all ? , would rather have the benefits they think they can get on earth, instead of God's benefits one of which is salvation. Nowhere in Scripture is it written that followers of Jesus will not be on earth when the enemy government starts and continues enforcing the mark of the beast. In contrast, the followers of Jesus will have the mark of God (many already do), and even though they are executed/ slaughtered, they will remain faithful. Not all ("few") remain faithful and true. Woe to those who don't. Blessed are those who do.

Jesus said "Today, repent, turn to God, away from this evil and adulterous generation". Since most people never do, whether they have already or get the mark doesn't matter, does it ?

God may or may not speak to someone. I wasn't answering you - I was answering the question in the previous post.

Remember what God's Word says about all the wrong views - including the straightforward stated: "I am of Paul, I am of Apollos" written in Scripture. They are carnal (is carnal foolish? or worse! ? ) . It's worse today,those saying "I am this, another saying i am that"..... and it's still carnal.

Look in Scripture (a stark difference from what men say); What did Jesus say ? (According to Jesus) What did Jesus tell His Own disciples to say ? (Jesus Himself told them/us (Jesus does not change; His Word hasn't changed (again a stark difference from what men say) ) ) Caterri, If you have more question about this, Message me later if you're able to.
