  1. Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, by the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Ghost, which He shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior. Titus 3:5-6 Having the Holy Ghost is the gift, having the Holy Ghost is the salvation. Therefore rejecting the direction of the Holy Ghost is rejecting the gift, rejecting salvation. We don't make ourselves righteous, the Holy Ghost makes us actually righteous, therefore on the day of the Lord we will be worthy to be up in the clouds with Him. How are we to know the direction of the Holy Ghost? The direction and directives of the Holy Ghost came out of the mouth of Jesus: Luke 6:27-49. And one sincerely focused on Him will also recognize His voice.
  2. Christ died for all, that they which live should henceforth not live unto themselves, but unto Him that died for them and rose again. 2 Corinthians 5:15 And they that belong to Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and lusts. Galatians 5:24
  3. There are various dreams and visions in the book of Daniel, but they all are prophesying about the one same general event: the establishment of Gods eternal kingdom. [Daniel 2:44, 7:14,27, 8:25-26] Likewise the visions in the book of Revelation do the same thing. They are all telling the one same story, repeatedly, in different ways. Revelation chapters 5 trough 7 are one complete telling of the whole story. Christ having laid down His life and conquered death, is worthy to open the seals. That is a summary of Revelation five. The four horses represent four periods of time, then the saints cry out for the day of the Lord, then the day of the Lord happens. That is chapter six. White - conquest and formation of the worlds countries as we have them now. One prominent figure during the culmination of this time period was Napoleon, who liked to be depicted riding on a white horse. Red- World wide war, a literally red period of time. We can clearly see that Hitler and the cold war were the culmination of this time. (children in China were made to carry around little red books, the time period was very literally red all over the world) Black - World wide economic collapse/reset. The climax is happening. Pale (not green, pale, like a vampire, but they'll swear it's 'Jesus') - Death personified, the devil in the flesh, the anti-Christ period of time. And each time period overlaps into the others. The horses appear, and then ride together. In other words, conquest and war are already present when economic collapse happens. And the three are present when the anti-Christ arrives. Then the saints cry out for the day of the Lord; Revelation 6:9-11. Then Revelation 6:12-17 very clearly describes the day of the Lord as described the same way also in Joel and Matthew 24. Then the same story is told again with different details and using different visions, with trumpets from chapter 8 through 11. Chapter 12 tells the whole entire story over again in a different way. Chapter 13 and 14 give some details about part of the end of the story. Chapters 15 and 16 tell the whole story over again, using vials and giving different details. Chapters 17 through the end give details of the end of the story that was told repeatedly. The book of Daniel ends in much the same way, with chapters 9 through the end giving details to the visions told throughout the book, all of them ultimately being re-tellings of one single story. ------- And so, we are in the black horse period of time now, and have been for some time. As it climaxes, we should be sure to have some food and basic supplies stored away for ourselves and our neighbors. When the price of food goes sky high, the black horse time will be evident, but it will also be too late, so we should stock up on food now while we can. ------- Edit addition: So we can also see the horses, as time periods, and yet still in a more traditional way. White is conquest, and we know from the other accounts that beast number 1 is a kingdom, so what happened during the white horse time is the establishment of that kingdom, which today is the three city states that secretly run the whole world; mystery Babylon, they call themselves the "mystery schools". White - conquest and formation of the worlds countries as we have them now; in other words, the arrival of beast number 1, which we know from context [Daniel 7:23, Rev 17:8-12] is indeed a kingdom ruling the world. [today it rules in secret, but in times past its rule was not so secret, and in the future its world wide rule will be out in the open, again] Red - Then the beast causes world wide war. Black - And is now orchestrating world wide economic collapse, which will also lead to more world war. [and one of the kings of beast number 1 will seem to die and then seem to be healed from death] [and then he will speak fantastical things, blasphemy, about what is in heaven Rev 13:3-6] Pale - Beast number 2, the false prophet; one claiming to be Jesus and backing up and glorifying the wounded/healed king of beast number 1. [here's the way I'll tell you; the king is a religious king, both king and head of a church...] [in times past his kingship was not so secret... in the future..] Then the saints cry out for the day of the Lord Revelation 6:9-11 Then the day of the Lord happens: Revelation 6:12-17, Joel 2:10-11, Isaiah 2:19-21, Matthew 24:29-31. What becomes more and more clear as one ponders it, is that indeed Revelation is telling the one and same story repeatedly, using different visions, each giving different details of the one same story, no matter how you want to slice it, it's hard to escape that light once you see it. ------- Revelation 6:12"the sun became as sackcloth of hair (very black) and the moon as blood" "and the stars of heaven fell unto the earth" [Joel 2:10] Matthew 24:29 "Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from the sky" "and the powers of the sky shall be shaken" Matthew 24:30 "then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in the sky" Revelation 6:15 "and [everyone] hid themselves in the caves and in the dens of the mountains" Matthew 24:30 "then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn" Isaiah 2:2-19 "..they shall go into the holes of the rocks and into the caves of the land, from the terror of the Lord, and for the glory of His majesty, when He comes to shake terribly the land." Matthew 24:30 "and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of the sky, with power and great glory" Revelation 6:16 "they said to the mountains, Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him that sits on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb" Matthew 24:31 "and He shall send forth His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together His chosen ones from the four winds [Ezekiel 37:9-10]" Then the marriage supper of the Lamb happens! Revelation chapter 19. [Matthew 25:1-13 !] We know from Revelation 19 that kings and their armies will be gathered to fight Christ and His army of resurrected saints; Ezekiel 37:9-10, Jude 1:14-15 [ Ezekiel 37:9-10, Joel chapter 2 and Revelation 19:14 are all speaking about the same army. "For the Lord shall utter His voice before His army" Joel 2:11 ] The kings that will be gathered together to fight Christ are the beasts and the 10 kings with them. Not the whole entire world, some people will be deep underground, and inside of mountains. Christ and His army will defeat those kings, and the birds will be filled with their flesh. "For the great day of His wrath is come; and who is able to stand?" Revelation 6:17 "The righteous shall rejoice when they see the vengeance, they shall wash their feet in the blood of the wicked. " Psalm 58:10 Literally, they'll be up in the clouds with Christ, seeing the vengeance unfold, and they will come down with Christ to reign from Jerusalem for 1000 years. "I saw an angel standing in the sun, and he cried with a loud voice saying to all the birds that fly in the midst of the sky; Come gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God" Revelation 19:17 "For wheresoever the bodies are, there will the birds be gathered together" Matthew 24:28 Luke 17:37 "The beast and false prophet were captured and thrown alive into a lake of fire.. and the rest were slain with the sword of Him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded from His mouth, and all the birds were filled with their flesh" Revelation 19:20-21 ------- Ezekiel 37:1-14 === Resurrections, "an exceedingly great army" of resurrected people. Ezekiel 37:15-24 === The 1000 year reign of the Messiah. Ezekiel 38 and 39 === Gog and Magog. Revelation 20:4-5 === Resurrections. Revelation 20:5-8 === 1000 year reign of the Messiah. Revelation 20:9-10 === Gog and Magog. This is extremely clear from the texts themselves, but modern 'teachers' are led to believe and teach that Ezekiel 37:1-14 is a super figurative prophecy. They want to twist the prophecy to be about 1948, but if we just let scripture do the teaching and interpretation, we can make more sense out of the prophecy and out of our current times. Isaiah 26:19 "Israel's dead men shall rise, together with my dead body shall they arise" Isaiah 27:1-2 And the Lords slays two beasts on that day, Leviathan and the dragon. Revelation 19:7-14 Marriage of the bride, up to be part of His army, dressed in white, and on horses. Revelation 19:17-21 And the Lord slays two beasts on that day.
  4. We should prepare with food and water; canned food, flour, bottled water, and other basic things. Having some extra things ready to give to others as well. If someone comes to steal, we'll be ready to give them something instead of shoot them. Knowing that those focused on Christ [Luke 6:27-49] will be protected by Christ, and will not die in a way He does not desire.
  5. Right, I also am not a deceiver even though because of the name I've chosen, some may want to label me as such, also because of the sounds I am going to make, surely many will label me a deceiver, nevertheless I am true, exposing the lies of the devil, converting many atheists and satanists, by the power of God. For unto the atheist/satanist I become as an atheist/satanist, that I, by any means, might save some. For it is the end, very soon there will be delay no longer.
  6. He that has rejected Moses law died without mercy under two or three witnesses: Of how much worse punishment shall he be worthy who has trampled under foot the Son of God and counted the blood of the covenant wherewith he was sanctified an unholy thing and has insulted the Spirit of grace? Hebrews 10:24 through 29 is the whole context. All of the apostles, together with the Holy Spirit, specifically told us that the Torah laws that are important to keep are abstaining from fornication, and from eating things with blood in it, and from idols. "We lay on you no other burden, but these necessary things" Acts 15:1 through 29 for full context. "" "The first covenant had ordinances... which stood only in meats and drinks, and various washings, and cardinal ordinances..." Hebrews 9:1-10 "" Throughout the new testament we are specifically told that those ordinances are not important anymore. It is willful sin against the teachings of Christ, willful rejection of His teachings [Matthew 5 through 7, Luke 6:27-49] that leads to damnation, for only He is the sacrifice that actually takes away sin. Hebrews 10:4. Therefore willful rejection of Him leaves one with no more sacrifice for sin.
  7. "If I have faith that can move mountains, and have not love, I am nothing." 1 Corinthians 13. What Christ taught is that we are to have sincere love for our fellow man, [Luke 6:27-49] one can believe that Christ is real, one can have faith that by saying His name some miracle will happen, and perhaps something would happen. But without sincerely grasping the message that Christ taught; sincere love for our fellow man; that kind of faith will ultimately profit nothing. What Christ will say to such is "I never knew you, depart from me ye that work lawlessness". For what avails anything is faith that works by love. For all the law is fulfilled in one word even this; love your neighbor as yourself.
  8. We are told what the fruit of the Spirit is, therefore sowing to the Spirit would reap the fruit of the Spirit. We are also told that the Lord is the Spirit. 2 Corinthians 3:17 Therefore sowing to the Spirit is sowing to the Lord. And we are told by the Lord that the seed, used in spiritual sowing, is the word of God; Luke 8:11. Therefore we are to be sowing the word of God. Christ taught that we are to sincerely love, and to be giving; what Christ taught is the word of God. And therefore: "Let him that is taught in the word share with him that teaches in all good things, Be not deceived God is not mocked, whatsoever a man sows that shall he also reap, he that sows to the flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption but he that sows to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. [therefore] Let us not be weary in well doing; for in due season, we shall reap [eternal life] if we faint not. As we have opportunity let us do good unto all men" Galatians 6:6-10
  9. "The marriage of the Lamb has come, and His bride has made herself ready... I saw an angel standing in the sun, and he cried with a loud voice saying to all the birds that fly in the midst of the sky, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God." Revelation 19:7,17. The army of the Lord will be on horses as prophesied: Joel 2:4,10-11, Revelation 19:14. "Israel's dead men shall rise, together with my dead body shall they arise" Isaiah 26:19 "From the four winds, an exceedingly great army" [of resurrected people] Ezekiel 37:9-10 Revelation chapter 19 describes the same event. Paul gives details to the same event. Those of Israel will rise first, those dead in Christ will rise first, [David and Isaiah are in Christ, as evident by their words; Psalm 16:10 Isaiah 53-56] [Likewise all who followed the Father are in Christ, for Christ is the manifestation of the Father; 1 Tim 3:16] then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 "Behold the Lord comes with 10,000's of His saints to do doom upon all flesh." Jude 1:14-15 The marriage supper of the Lamb; Wheresoever the bodies are there will the birds be gathered together. For "... the rest were slain with the sword of Him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded from His mouth, and all the birds were filled with their flesh" Revelation 19:21 There is no 'rapture' there is one marriage supper of the Lamb, specifically described in Revelation chapter 19, and prophesied by Isaiah 26:19, Jeremiah 30:9, Ezekiel 37, Matthew 24:28-31, Matthew 25:1-12, 2 Thessalonians 4:16-17. They are all speaking about the same event; great resurrections that happen at the beginning of the 1000 year reign of the Messiah. As Jeremiah 30:9 says, David will be raised up, resurrected, thereby together with Ezekiel 37:1-14, we know that Ezekiel 37:24 is clearly talking about a literal resurrected David. The great final return of the captives happens when the Messiah returns, it is a day of resurrection, many will be resurrected and glorified, literally raised up with Christ in the clouds to be part of His army, and to reign with Him from Jerusalem for 1000 years. The kingdoms of the world will be gathered together to fight against Christ and His army: Revelation 19. Everyone who is not caught up to be part of Christs army, will be, left, for the birds. [Luke 17:34-37]
  10. Christ died for all, that they which live should henceforth not live unto themselves, but unto Him that died for them and rose again. 2 Corinthians 5:15 For He has made Him sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might [actually] be made the righteousness of God in Him. 2 Corinthians 5:21 We then, as workers together with Christ, beseech you that you receive not the grace of God in vain. 2 Corinthians 6:1 Ye are the temple of God, as God has said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God and they shall be my people. 2 Corinthians 6:16 the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness,faithfulness, meekness, and self control. Galatians 5:22-23 Having therefore these promises, dear ones, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit. 2 Corinthians 7:1 they that belong to Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and lusts. Galatians 5:24
  11. "Be ye wise as serpents yet innocent as doves" "As deceivers yet true" 2 Corinthians 6:8 Yes indeed, we of faith worship God in spirit, but most do not adhere to the physical letter of the law, actual wearing of ribbons of blue, actual animal sacrifices, etc.. In the future even the physical following of the law will happen again, and it shall be the prince, the Prince, it shall be the princes part to prepare all burnt sacrifices and offerings. Ezekiel 45:17 As of now the aspects of the Torah that all sincere believers do literally practice, are those concerning sincere love for our fellow man: Exodus 22:21, 23:4-9, Leviticus 19:17-18,33-34, Deuteronomy 10:19. Because sincere love is what Christ and His apostles taught. ------- It's clear that the mandate to wear ribbons of blue is literal: Number 15:38-39 "That we may look on it and remember to keep the law." "I will lift up my hands unto thy commands" Psalm 119:48 Is what David said, meaning he would take Deuteronomy 6:8 literally. And many Jews throughout history have taken it literally, as do I, I do so because it is easy; simple wrist bands. Practicing Jews today in Israel do it with black ribbon they wrap around their hand that is connected to a literal box on the forehead containing a little scroll of the Torah. For the forehead I use a baseball cap with the word Love written under the cap in my direction. Dear one, I literally wear ribbons of blue at most times, and I literally wear 4 wristbands at all times, one says "Love God" one says "Love neighbor" one says "Honor your Father and Mother" one says "Flee fornication". "love God" "love neighbor" is the summary of the whole law, therefore having those 2 bands means I have the whole law on my hands. I do not now ever take the wristbands off, they have been on my hands since 2017, I started wearing them around 2015. I choose to literally follow many of the aspects of the Torah. I maintain a general beard, wear 100% cotton or polyester.. etc.. These things are not required for salvation, and one getting caught up in such things can find themselves living in error, and pride, but one doing them sincerely out of love for God, in response to grace, will experience the overt miraculous now before the Messiah returns. But such is a message of meat. All that to say, that indeed as much as is possible I agree that we are to actually and literally follow everything that we feel is easy for us to follow of Gods law, and a lot of it is very easy to do, even parts in the Torah. However we are never to loose sight of Christ, He is most important, therefore what He said matters most, His teachings should be first in our minds, indeed by following Him we fulfill the Torah.
  12. Those who believe the Messiah do, literally, have the whole entire law in their mind. For; "Whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do you even so to them, for this is the law and the prophets" Matthew 7:12 And thereby He is the literal messenger of the covenant, those heeding His words are under the renewed covenant, literally. "The first covenant had ordinances... which stood only in meats and drinks, and various washings, and cardinal ordinances..." Hebrews 9:1-10 "But Christ...." Hebrews 9:11 through 10:24 Therefore we are not to sin against Christ Hebrews 10:24-29 We believe Christ, [Matthew 7:12] we have faith in Christ. Thereby we understand the ordinances are not important, what Christ taught is important.
  13. Yes exactly, and such is the vein in which Paul is speaking about 'law'. All the little things he used to have to worry about in regards to the Torah, he was now free from, all the ordinances, all he needed to be concerned with was sincerely loving and caring for his fellow man, which gets easier and easier by the miraculous power of God, for God is love, therefore miracles follow love, the fruit of the Spirit is, love... In modern times men have twisted Paul's message about 'law' to mean 'any rules at all'. 'There are no rules to follow' is not what Paul was saying, Paul was speaking about the Torah and freedom from its vast ordinances and rituals. Paul's therefore to grace is that we are to therefore live a certain way, because we have been saved by grace. We have been bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are Gods. 1 Corinthians 6:20 Those are Paul's therefore's. But modern men take passages like Ephesians 2:8-9 and put their own 'therefore's onto it, such as therefore don't think you can try, or therefore sin does not matter. But one willing to simply read on to Ephesians 2:10 through 4:1 and on will see that Paul's vein is that because God freely granted us the ability to do right, we are to sincerely do right. "I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that you walk worthy of the vocation wherewith you are called, with all lowliness and meekness, with patience, forbearing one another in love" Ephesians 4:1 "This I say, therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind... That ye put off concerning the former conduct the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; and be renewed in the spirit of your mind... put away lying... let him that stole steal no more..." Ephesians 4:17-28 And the rest of Ephesians is ?! A list of rules to follow! "The grace of God that brings salvation has appeared unto all mankind, teaching us that denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly righteously and godly in this present age." Titus 2:11-12
  14. No man has seen the Father at any time, the only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he has declared him. John 1:8 He who has seen me has seen the Father. John 14:9 If the elders saw a physical form, they saw Christ. "they saw God" Exodus 24:11, but yet were not with Him up in the mount, as Moses and Joshua were then called: Exodus 24:12. "And the Lord said to Moses, Come up to me into the mount" And in Exodus 33 that we get this account; "And the Lord spoke to Moses face to face" Exodus 33:11 I think we are to understand that as that the Spirit of God spoke through Joshua to Moses. [Numbers 27:18, 11:25-29] "But Joshua departed not out of the tabernacle" Because the moment was precious to him. "And Moses said: I beseech thee, show me thy glory!" Exodus 33:18 Moses wanted to experience God directly. In Exodus 33:20 through 34:8 Moses experiences God more directly, a manifestation of Christ. And then asks; "Oh Lord.. Go among us.. and pardon our sins" Exodus 34:9 ! Also we see that Joshua gets jealous when the Spirit speaks through others: Numbers 11:25-29. ------- Christ is the physical body of the Father. The Father set apart a part of His Spirit, from since before creation, for the purpose of giving consciousness to the body of Christ, and for the purpose of experiencing humanity, mortality, and death as Christ on behalf of His creation. Christ is God The Father in physical form, the plan was before time and timeless, therefore Christ is before time and timeless. That God the Father has no form, and is a Spirit, is evident in the Deuteronomy 4:15-19 account. "Take ye therefore good heed unto yourselves; for ye saw no manner of similitude on the day that the LORD spake unto you in Horeb out of the midst of the fire: (therefore don't make idols of any form, because God does not have a form) " And part of His Spirit was always set apart to inhabit the physical man Christ, and that physical manifestation is therefore timeless, able to appear to Moses and to whomever, throughout all of physical time. "I the Lord try the heart and test the minds" Jeremiah 17:10 "All the Churches shall know that I am He that try's the hearts and tests the minds" Revelation 2:23 "Believe on the Lord your God, so shall ye be established" 2 Chronicles 20:20 "If you will not believe, surely you will not be established... therefore behold, the Lord Himself will give you a sign, a young woman shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call His name; God with us" Isaiah 7:9,14 "Great is the mystery of godliness, God was manifest in the flesh" 1 Timothy 3:16
  15. Do you wear ribbons of blue? Are you sure to never wear mixed fabric? Do you have the law on your hands in some way? Do you have it on your door post? Do you sacrifice a spotless lamb, in the temple, in Jerusalem, on the appropriate day? "Think not that I am come to destroy the law, I am not come to destroy but to fulfill... whosoever therefore will break one of the least of the laws commands, and shall teach men so, shall be called least, IN the kingdom of heaven, but whoever will do and teach them, shall be called great IN the kingdom of heaven." But you will not enter into the kingdom of heaven unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and pharisees.. (their righteousness was only external, all His teachings are mainly about the internal state of mind, He taught that that is the point of the Torah, the renewing of your mind) Matthew 5:17-20 "..In conclusion, Whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do you even so to them, for this is the law and the prophets" Matthew 7:12 "this is my command, that you love one another" John 15:12 It's good news, we need not worry about the ritualistic aspects of the Torah, what matters is faith that demonstrates itself by sincere love. "For he that loves another has fulfilled the law, for this; thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not steal, thou shalt not commit adultery... and if there be any other command it is summed up in this saying, namely; thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself." Romans 13:8-10. ------- It is good to abstain from meats from time to time, many health problems in modern times have stemmed from bad meat, and the over eating of bad meat. Surely keeping the dietary laws in the Bible would only make one healthy. It is good and healthy to fast from time to time, and what better time than those defined in the Bible. And the apostles did instruct us to not eat things with blood in it, and to not eat things offered to idols. Acts 15:29 The Holy Spirit will guide us to all personal dietary truth such that our bodies are not severely damaged.
  16. Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart... Love ye therefore the stranger. Deuteronomy 10:16-19
  17. "Do we then make void the law by faith? Certainly not, we establish the law." Romans 3:31 "For all the law is fulfilled in one word even this; love your neighbor as yourself." Galatians 5:14, Romans 13:8-10. We believe, we have faith, in Christ, who already told us that summary of the law; "Whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do you even so to them, for this is the law and the prophets." Matthew 7:12 A man is declared righteous by faith in Christ, faith in a person, who is alive. Faith in everything He said and did. We believe Christ, and therefore understand that we need not adhere to the Torah, but rather to Christ, and Paul explained that as we adhere to Christ, our flesh based desires will subside by His Spirit that is in us.
  18. "Love your enemies, bless them that curse you.." Matthew 5:44 Romans 12:14 matches and backs up the teachings of Christ.
  19. And they that belong to Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and lusts. Galatians 5:22-24. Because the fruit of having the Holy Spirit include self-control, control over ones own self. For if you live after the flesh you shall (spiritually) die, but if you through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the flesh, you shall (spiritually) live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. Romans 8:13-14 Faith is being persuaded that what God says is true. Christ is God in the flesh. "..Love your enemies.. for great shall be your reward in heaven" Do you believe Him? "Give and it shall be given to you" Do you believe Him? "Whoever hears these sayings of mine and does not put them into practice, is like a fool that built his house upon the sand" Do you believe Him? We are saved by grace, through faith, for good works. Ephesians 2:8-10. Our faith, in Christ, motivates us to work.
  20. It is because of what Peter said of Paul, and the way Peter addresses Paul, that we can take Paul as anybody. Other than this passage, we have no other direct back-up for Paul other than his own words and that he is included in Acts. 2 Peter 3:14-16 "Be diligent that ye may be found of Him in peace, without spot, and blameless. And realize that the patience of our Lord is salvation [2 Peter 3:9 that we all reach the knowledge repentance] even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given him has written unto you; as also in all his letters, speaking of these things [how we are to live] in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned [about all scripture] and unstable [they fall back into sin] twist, as they do the other scriptures, unto their own destruction." Those words specifically back up all the letters of Paul. Indeed when Paul spoke of scripture I don't think he was speaking of his own words, I don't think these men exactly knew that we would be hashing over their every written word so much, it is a gift they have been given. Their words are part of Holy scripture. And therefore also, because it is 2 Peter 3:14-16 that gives validity to Paul's letters, we should always, always, have it in mind when reading Paul, for we are clearly told that some things Paul said can be hard to understand. For example Romans 9, many want to take the end of Romans 9 and conclude that some are predestined for heaven, and others predestined for hell. Clearly Romans 9 is hard to understand. However the Spirit through Paul continued the thought: "In a house there are vessels of honor and dishonor, if a man cleanse himself from dishonor he shall be a vessel unto honor" 2 Timothy 2:20-21 [Psalm 119:9] And the scripture that these men would have been referring to are books such as Isaiah and Ezekiel. The scripture is also what we must learn to fully understand Paul. In the Romans 9 case we must learn Ezekiel 18 and 33. Another good example is Romans 10:7-13, Paul is directly quoting Deuteronomy 30:12-14 and therefore saying that Christ is the word of God come down from heaven, "that we may hear it and do it", it's important that we do not miss such context. "for he is not a Jew which is one outwardly... circumcision is that of the heart" Paul was not making that up, that is not 'new' revelation, it's scripture his audience would have known: "Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart... Love ye therefore the stranger" Deuteronomy 10:16,19. You see Joshua of Nazareth was and is the Messiah, the messenger of God; saying the same things God already said. "Love your enemies and them that hate you" Exodus 23:4-5 "Love your enemies and them that hate you" Luke 6:27 These would be some of the strongest proofs to a Jewish and/or scripture believing audience, because the greatest prophecy concerning the Messiah is that He would speak the words of God: Deuteronomy 18:18-19. And to an audience that did not have the new testament as we have it today, they no doubt would have been studying things such as this in relation to the Messiah. We can see the message of the Messiah; sincere love for everyone, coming from all of Gods speakers, beginning with Moses: Exodus 22:21 Exodus 23:4-5, 9 Leviticus 19:17-18, 33-34 Deuteronomy 10:16,19 Job 31 Psalm 15 Isaiah 1:11-20, 58:5-10 Jeremiah 22:3-5 Zechariah 7:9-12, 8:14-17 Matthew 7:12 Luke 6:27-49 John 15:12 Romans 13:8-10 1 Corinthians 13 Galatians 5:6,14 1 John 2:3-4, 4:8 Including Paul. The message is in unison, we who believe are empowered to sincerely love everyone, therefore sincere believers are marked by sincere love. For God is love.
  21. Many of the things Paul said are hard to understand, and unlearned men will take and twist them. 2 Peter 3:15-16 The Galatians were not being led to follow the whole Torah, they were being led to believe that the sign of their salvation was circumcision, they were being led to believe that circumcision was the ticket into heaven. Paul specifically tells them "if you become circumcised, your obligated to do the whole law" Galatians 5:2-3 And "for they themselves keep not the law, they're just circumcised, they desire to have you circumcised that they may glory in your flesh" Galatians 6:12-13 From this context we see that Paul is not talking about any obedience at all as 'works' but rather Paul is speaking about the ritualistic bondage making aspects of the Torah. Things such as circumcision, eating only certain foods cooked in certain ways, having to wear only certain fabric, etc... literal rules that cause bondage to the rules themselves. Furthermore we know from the Lord that "he that practices sin is the slave of sin" "And if the Son shall make you free you shall be free indeed" from your (personal) sin. John 8:(24) 34-36 One abstaining from adultery becomes free, not a slave. One abstaining from drunkenness, becomes free, not a slave. Therefore to take Paul's words as if he means that any and all obedience is bondage, is to take his words in a very unlearned and twisted way. And we also have the book of Romans for more context. "for he that loves another has fulfilled the law, for this: thou shalt not steal, thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not commit adultery... and if there be any other command it is summed up briefly in this statement; namely, thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself" Romans 13:8-10 "Do we make void the law through faith? Certainly not, we establish the law" Romans 3:31 "For all the law is fulfilled in one word even this; love your neighbor as yourself" Galatians 5:14 The love that Christ and Paul taught is the Spirit of the law (spirit in every sense of the word lowercase and Capital) This I say and testify in the Lord; Walk in the Spirit and you will not fulfill the lusts of the flesh. The words that Christ spoke they are spirit and they are life. [John 6:63] And Christ was born directly by the Spirit. [Luke 1:35] Christ therefore is the most direct orator of the Spirit. Following His teachings is walking in the Spirit, being led by the Spirit. "For the Lord is the Spirit" 2 Corinthians 3:17 "If any man preaches otherwise and consents not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine that is according to godliness, he is proud knowing nothing" 1 Timothy 6:3-14 "If any person does not love the Lord Jesus Christ, let that person be anathema, Oh Lord come!" 1 Corinthians 16:22 "He that has my commands and keeps them, he it is that loves me" John 14:21-24 "This is my command, that you love one another" John 15:12 Matthew 7:12 Luke 6:27-49 What happens to every sincere believer is that we put the simple teachings of Christ into practice, [Luke 6:27-49] The simplicity of Christ, (by the power of the Spirit) and then also our flesh based sins also divinely subside. What it means to walk in the Spirit is to follow Christ, to let Christ be our preacher and teacher, actually doing the simple things He says to do. His sheep hear His voice, know Him, and follow Him. John 10:27. For the Lord is the Spirit. 2 Corinthians 3:17 And we are to be led by the Spirit. ------- The falling away that is happening, is a falling away from any obedience at all, lawlessness, a disregard of the laws of Christ [Matthew 5 through 7, Luke 6:27-49] [What Christ preached is the heart/spirit of the Torah, [Matt. 7:12, Rom. 13:8-9] if we disregard even the simple teachings of Christ, [Matt 11:28-30, 1 John 5:2-3] we therefore practice complete lawlessness, and that is the lawlessness referred to in Matthew 24] Indeed many preach on Galatians/Ephesians as if Paul is referring to any 'thought' as work. Which can not be the case because in Galatians Paul says "And they that belong to Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and lusts" Galatians 5:24 explaining that the believer achieves victory over the fruit of the flesh as the fruit of the Spirit matures in the life of that sincere believer. [Which happens as we practice the simple teachings of Christ, being led by His Spirit, walking in His Spirit] And Paul directs us to be "holding every thought captive to the obedience of Christ" 2 Corinthians 10:5. [1 Corinthians 11:1] For example when a Christian man sees an attractive woman, he is to be sure to not think lustful thoughts, because that is what Christ commanded, and because that Christian man is empowered by the Spirit to exercise 'self-control' [Gal. 5:22-24] Another example, when we know in our mind that someone has something against us, we must try to make it right, clear our conscience, for that is what Christ commanded. All His teachings are mainly about our state of mind: Matthew 5 through 7. Therefore Paul calls it, "the renewing of your mind". These clear connections are not made by modern preachers, instead many lead people to believe that Christ and Paul were preaching different messages, but that is not the case. In one way or another, in many Churches, the specific teachings of Christ are either overlooked, or disregarded, such is the progress of the falling away. But the Messiah and the Father want you to actually heed His words: Deuteronomy 18:18-19, Matthew 7:21-28, 2 John 1:9-10, 1 Corinthians 16:22, John 14:21-24. "For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God." Romans 8:14
  22. The kingdom of heaven is like unto a wedding feast... the king sent forth for His servants to call them that were bidden, but they would not come. ..the remnant took His servants and treated them spitefully and killed them. When the king heard this He was angry, and He sent forth His armies, and destroyed those murderers and burned up their city. Then He said to His servants, the wedding feast is ready, but they which were called were not worthy, Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, call to the marriage. So the servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all ['pantas' Greek 3956] that they found, both bad ['ponerous' Greek 4190, evil] and good, and the wedding was furnished with guests. And when the king came in to see the guests He saw one which had not a wedding garment, and the man was speechless. Then said the King to His servants, bind him hand and foot, and cast him into outer darkness, there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. For many are called but few chosen. Matthew 22:1-14 God called you by our gospel ... whether by word of mouth or letter. 2 Thessalonians 2:14-15 In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before time began. And has in due time manifested His word through preaching. Titus 1:2-3 Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Romans 10:17 And God has manifested His word through preaching. Titus 1:2-3 God calls by the gospel 2 Thessalonians 2:14-15 Thereby it is clear that the sincere preaching of the gospel is a calling from God to all who hear it. God commands all men everywhere to repent. Acts 17:30 And Why? Why does God command all men everywhere to repent? Because He wants to show them their inability without Him? Or because He has appointed a day in which they will be judged? [Acts 17:31] In a house there are vessels of honor and dishonor, if a man cleanse himself from dishonor he shall be a vessel unto honor. 2 Timothy 2:20-21 How can a man cleanse his way? By taking heed unto Thy word. Psalm 119:9 God has in due time manifested His word through preaching. Titus 1:3 And faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. The grace of God that brings salvation has appeared unto all, [soterios pasin anthropois 'bringing salvation to all men' if we read it in Greek] teaching us that denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly righteously and godly in this present age. Titus 2:11-12 I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, and intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior; Who will have all ['pantas' Greek 3956] men to be saved, and to come to the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus; who gave Himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time. 1 Timothy 2:1-7
  23. Walk in the Spirit and you will not fulfill the lusts of the flesh. Galatians 5:16-24 The Lord is the Spirit 2 Corinthians 3:17 Therefore what the Lord said [Luke 6:27-49] is the direction of the Spirit, following Him is being led by the Spirit. One sincerely putting into practice the teachings of Christ will experience the overt miraculous. I believe that the original sound of His name is Yahoshua, Yah ho shua. (Numbers 13:16 in original untouched Hebrew) I don't think that demons will be able to say the original sound of His name, and for one who thinks they are possessed by a demon, the sound Yahoshua would therefore be better than the sound Jesus.
  24. My sheep hear my voice, I know them, and they follow me. And I give unto them eternal life John 10:27-28 This is my commandment, that you love one another. John 15:12, Matthew 7:12 is the summary of His 'doctrine'. [Matthew 5 through 7:28, Luke 6:27-49] He that has my words and keeps them, he it is that loves me. John 14:21-24 [also makes clear that His words are for everyone] The words I speak to you, they are spirit and they are life. John 6:63 "As many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God" Romans 8:14 "the Lord is the Spirit" 2 Corinthians 3:17 "If anyone does not love the Lord Jesus Christ, let that person be anathema! Oh Lord Come!" 1 Corinthians 16:22 [John 14:21] "they that belong to Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and lusts" Galatians 5:24 [by His Spirit that is in them] "Whosoever transgresses (disobeys the Torah) and abides not in the doctrine of Christ [Matthew 7:28], has not God, whoever abides in the doctrine of Christ has both the Father and the Son" 2 John 1:9 [1 Corinthians 16:22] ------- The will of the Father: I will raise Israel up a prophet... and whoever will not hearken unto him shall be destroyed from among the people. Deuteronomy 18:18-19 Acts 3:23 "Also the sons of the stranger that join themselves to the Lord and do the things that please Him... for my house shall be called a house of prayer for all people" Isaiah 56:1-7 Not everyone that says to me Lord Lord shall enter into the kingdom of heaven, but whoever does the will of my Father which is in heaven Therefore... whoever hears these sayings of mine and does not put them into practice is like a fool that built his house upon the sand Matthew 7:21-28 "and they were astonished at His doctrine, for He taught as one having authority" Because the will of the Father is that we hearken to the Son!
  25. There has no temptation taken you but such as is common to mankind, and God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but will, with the temptation, also make a way to escape, that you may be able to bear it. 1 Corinthians 10:13 For He who began a good work in you will complete it, until the very day Christ returns. Philippians 1:6
