For me I see repentance in the word teshuvah, to return to God and learn to walk after Yeshua. Just turning doesnt always get us to see Him as He wants us to be but returning puts the emphasis on making an about face looking straight towards that kingdom door in which He is lighting the path towards.

The Outward Appearance of God’s People: Does it Matter?
mizzdy replied to mizzdy's topic in General Discussion
People are just idiots! We get walkins all the time, we get homeless, all kinds of people, we welcome them all. One of the homeless guys came once and had a huge coat on, it was warm! he said he wanted to meet God with his best suit. Made many tear up because this man had the right mind for Him. We come to Him in the best we have, that can be shorts, dresses, suits and ties, pants or whatever we have. If we have the heart of Him He accepts us how we are, if we are able to wear 'better clothes' we should, we are meeting our King our God each week. I think what bothers me so much are the ones who think its ok to come to worship, who know better anyhow, in short shorts, tank tops, tatts and piercing all over and tell everyone God made them that way and they are showing it off as some sort of glory to Him. So many dont have much modesty and think modestly went away on the cross also. I have heard some of the 20 somethings say, 'God is my covering I can dress how I want' and one of my favs 'God is helping me to show men I am godly and available', no kidding on that one either. Modestly goes along way to show the condition of our hearts but that may just be me. shalom, Mizz -

Yeap~! Wear Bib Overalls And Carry A Big Bat And Maybe That Good Old Boy Will Get The Meaning Of "No", Bless His Wee Heart Reminds me of my pappydad! lol As the story goes he got stuck pulling a stump out before church one morning and found he didnt have time to clean up and change into his suit. So he went in his bib overalls covered in dirt but he did clean his hands and face and put on good shoes! Guess the pastor had a good go at ribbing him for years. lol The way I look at dressing accordingly is this, How would you dress to meet your King and Savior? Most would dress to meet the prez or some important person but many see going to church as a social thing and not really what it is we are really there for, Him, it is the day we all stand before Him as a congregation, as a family and present our sacrifice of praise to Him. Doesnt mean we have to go and buy suits, ties and expensive dresses or whatnot but that we should meet with Him in the manner He expects, with respect and a humbled heart. shalom, Mizz -

It is true that dress distinguished tribes, and it did distinguish the Jews over the thousands of years, it was only when they assimilated within the nations around them that they failed to be distinct. Honestly I do think we need to see how our dress shows our lifestyles and hearts. For instance if a woman is coming to church in shorts, speg. strapped t's, with or without a ton of makeup or earrings or piercing yet stands up on how unmoral the church is I would think twice about listening to her. Its kinda like going to a dr who is obese and that dr tells you your fat. Theres are universal 'type' of dress, I live in the desert also and know I am not going to go around in winter clothing as some in Norway would but I can dress modestly. God wants a set apart people, how do we achieve this when most of the church looks like the world? In the fellowship I go to woman wear pants most are dressed very nicely, modestly, rarely does anyone ever come in anything unmodest. I went to a memorial at a pretty big mainstream church a few weeks back and most of the woman who were members and not staff were all dressed in summer clothing, one woman was actually gossiping about our head coverings yet her body was full of tatts, pretty short shorts and a speghetti strapped piece of cloth that covered her upper parts and not much more. Yet she had the gall to say that God was frowning on us poor legalistic people while He rejoiced in her walk because she was free from any laws and that included modest dressing. I so agree with you we can and should dress modestly, and the older woman in our congregations need to take these young woman and sometimes older woman under their wing and teach them godly ways, which is what we are told in scriptures to do. I dont like being told what and how to do things either brings back memories! lol but I know that when I meet with my King and Savior every week and as I walk with Him daily I want to represent Him in the best ways I can. shalom, Mizz -
This is not intended to start a huge debate on clothing, etc. I did think it was a good article and it should make us think about what He really expects from His called out people. link

Imagine Judas Iscariot coming back from the dead... and being able to scientifically prove it is him. DNA / blood content analysis whatever. The death wound to the head healed Revelation 13:3 Judas based on "son of perdition" John 17:12 and 2 Thessalonians 2:3 as well as "his own place" Acts 1:25 and the fact that the only recorded possession of Satan himself was of Yehudah Ben Shimon Esh Kyrioth Luke 22:3 / John 13:27 Able to do lying wonders and signs... fooling the whole world... and affirming the Mosaic covenant... and claiming to be the true messiah and blaspheming Yeshua as a false messiah... This would upset the world as we know it. Don't we read that Judas hanged himself then piecing it together, we might even see that he stayed on the rope till he started to rot. Where do you read that Judas had a head wound? And frankly thats like my mother in law telling me she has proven that her family comes directly from the line of David. There is no way anyone can prove DNA from Judas nor even Yeshua and give postitive evidence for the world to believe. Now false hope and security may come from science, giving others hope of no more disease and living forever through genetic manipulation now that would be something many will flock to and embrace. Affirming the covenant for Judah/Jews would be the bringing back of the temple and sacrifices since the covenant never went anywhere. Yes theres an anti-messiah coming and will fool so many it will just boggle the mind, people who think they understand the mark and would never take it, those who think they understand prophecy gets bogged down with details never even entertained because they didnt fit their paradigm. But Judas with a head wound you will have to tell me where you find this in scriptures. shalom, Mizz

What is he translation for "Christ?" Christ = anointed. Many have and do claim to be anointed/Christ....throughout history in fact. Just throwing that out there. Hi, Katy Ann, I don't know who the author of this repeated argument that "Christ = anointed" is, but it actually betrays a low view of Christ. Christ = Messiah Messiah = ruler (king) who is to come (Da 9:25-26), the Promise (of Ge 3:15), found only in Daniel Christ is not just anointed, he is the promised ruler/king of the Kingdom of God. That kind of loose interpretation is common in these circles, and is why the video is weak. It handles the Scriptures loosely, and I don't think the adherents even realize that they do so, nor do they even know what it means, and I suspect if they did, they would see nothing inadequate about it. Such loose handling is the trademark of false teachers and false teaching. Christ means annointed whether you want to see that or not, Yeshua is the annointed one of Yahweh and that in no way protrays a weak imagine of Yeshua. Messiah means annointed also, again He is the annointed one of Messiah. When Mary annointed Yeshua with oil it was more than a good will gesture she was performing a very real thing in terms of putting out who He was and is.

From what I have searched out the Judaizers were those who kept trying to force the new converts into the Messainic way to conform to rabbinical ways, ie, that you must be circumcised, etc. Zionism in its truest form only upholds the right of the Jewish people to have a land of their own, Jerusalem and the land of their ancestors. There certainly are in any org those who subvert and want to take things to other levels but as a whole Zionist only want what was promised to them. I dont see the Judaizers as trying to kick anyone out, but to make them convert to ways not given in by Yeshua. Yeshua didnt say you must be circumcised to be a set apart person etc. thats what Judaizers were doing going against what was taught by the apostles. I have also read that these Judaizers were crafty magicians, fortune tellers and the like. shalom, Mizz

We are tpo worship with our whole being sadly from what I hear most denominational churches dont like it when people stand, sway, clap, raise their hands and all that during worship. Nor do, I hear, that anything beyond the occasional amen, people are to sit and be silent in their congregations. I am so very blessed to be apart of a congregation that encourages us to worship Him with all that we are, we even say amen and halleluyah during our talks but questions are saved for after its over. Its seems many churches discourage the faithful from truly worshipping and praising Him. I am sorry to hear that she is being discouraged from worshipping Him in the manner she wants, perhaps another church might be a better fit or she could talk to the pastor and or elders about the matter. shalom, Mizz

If this is not the direction this thread is going sorry but I looked at this questions and thought of course. If a person truly has turned their heart, life over to Yahweh then yes of course the person will do what is right even when theres no 'apparent' reward. If we are really aligning our will with His we wouldnt think twice about doing what is right. Our rewards or 'advantage' is not here on this earth but in His kingdom and if people are looking for a reward from Him now they have their priorities all wrong.

We can see the star of David in snow flakes, gasp, snow is part of satans plans! link link People can read into whatever they want, but have you considered that perhaps with all these things that are trying to be 'proven to be satanic' are just the advesary trying to get you to put yet another barrior between His set apart ones? Think about that for a bit and let it soak in, it has more than a ring of truth in it. Certainly there are conspiracies that are absolutely true and warning others is a good thing but warning people that the star of David was taken by the Jews from satanic sources and through its use suggesting Judaism is satanic or that a groups of people who use that symbol are satanic is really pushing the envelope. shalom, Mizz

The OP said he told the grandmother about the marijuana use. Well, her husband isn't really the spiritual type. His spiritual depth is entirely based on the size of the bowl he's getting ready to smoke. Being high most of their days, they are given the illusion of being "higher thinkers" and have come to the conclusion that they are "smarter than God". He knows better than anybody is his basic philosophy. Well, her grandmother kinda of eluded to the fact that she wanted me to try and convince her and her husband to come to church, to which I replied with my previous statement. Not in a judgemental way, but simply a matter of fact way, According to the OP the grandmother only expressed a wish for the couple to come to church. The grandmother was not the gossip here. She brought up a number of points about their lifestyle, as she's aware of everything I had spoken of to her in regards to that, but the main idea was to have me get them to come to church. I apologize for leaving out the depth and contents of the discussion, but it was a rather lengthy conversation. I think the point I was trying to make was that I just dont see how this is gossiping nor slandering this couple, just in what was written I saw a grandmother trying to find avenues to bring her grandchild back into the fold. Sometimes in our thinking we sometimes say too much to make a point or bring home the problem. If thats the case then we are all completely guilty for talking about our kids, parents, friends, etc, to our friends, pastors etc when we are looking for advice or ways to help others. And really I think that is all the grandmother was trying to do is find other ways to talk the grandkid into coming back to church. I never stated nor impied the grandmother gossiped. I wasnt replying to you Katy Ann sorry your post got included. Katy, you gave your opinion and it wasnt taken with the grain you wanted it to be taken and really there is no need to be so upset with anyone. shalom, Mizz

It is often times in those private conversations they can be seen as gossip, I dont think the grandmother was gossiping but trying to find an avenue to bring her family back to God. I see you didn't stand there talking about how they get high all the time, nor did you write that you discussed their personal things or even push the personal nor any other aspect of this couple. You took what the grandmother said and gave her indications that you had already talked to them about faith and they were not interested. Lashon harah, or evil speech spoken of in scriptures is slanderous gossip, talking about people private and even spiritual lives to others for no better reason that just to talk about others, of course there are varying degrees of it also. I dont think you were gossiping, althought in some respects by telling everyone how they conduct their private lifes here that might be speaking on iffy ground. Honestly I would say something to the gal it seems obvious that her grandmother said something to her and before it gets out of hand I would simply say, 'Your grandma came and talked to me at church seeing if I might be able to help you come back to church' and then say that you told her that you have been speaking all along to them both but didnt feel right asking because grandma wanted you too, or something like that. Letting things fester can lead to some serious blowups and since you work with that gal that might be bad in the job arena. Just my nickels worth. shalom, Mizz

You could also have your daughter take him to the fire station. When my nephews started their apt on fire while mom and dad slept thats the advice they got. Sadly my sis in law didnt follow through with that until they started another fire in another apt. Then they took the boys there and it scared the living daylights out of them. The were about 6 and 8 then and both boys remember that very well. This is something that needs to be addressed now rather than later especially considering his age. shalom, Mizz

We did! I am what most call Messianic so yes we did observe Shavuot with a joyous and open heart for the Ruach to fill! We had a wonderful worship and praise to our Creator, we prayed corportately and individually, it was awesome and empowering! I love His Feasts what better way of meeting with Him than on the days He appointed us to meet with Him! shalom, Mizz

Heres a good article on the subject. It is a commanded feast one of three as Nebula said. The empowerment of the Spirit was promised even as far back as Moses day, when God said there would be a day that the Torah would be imprinted upon our hearts. Penetcost just means 50 another way for those who were pulling away and had already pulled away from the true body calls it. It is Shavuot an agriculural feast that shows prohetically the ingathering of His people together, it represents the wheat harvest, the loaves represent the houses of Israel, each full of sin and in need of a Messiah and who only through Him are we forgiven and made clean. Also we can see that by the leavening in the loaves they have 'bread' to offer the world, His words of truth and life. Theres a lot more to this feast as there is to all of them, rich in His words and His plan of salvation and redemption. As far as celebrating the day, we gather with our congregation, sing, praise and worship Him, then we have a meal together. Last night was awesome! the flooding of the Spirit was just so amazing its hard to even describe! shalom, Mizz

So many days before the lamb was slain the lambs were being 'inspected', they would gather together to see the lamb that was selected. Can you imagine the priests faces when instead of the lamb going into Jerusalem being inspected this man rides into Jerusalem ahead of them being greeted as the 'Pesach' which is lamb. He also fufilled the prophecy in Zech. 9:9. His riding into Jerusalem was the beginning of the Passover season, the examining of the lamb to see if they are found worthy is also fufilled when they brought Him to the priests. Its all wrapped up in the feasts, all of His plans are shown within His set apart days of that there is no doubt, He proclaimed it, Yeshua will fulfill them all. shalom, Mizz
