APOSTASY

[herald2]

When Paul talks about not judging one another, he is talking about the sabbath feast days. They were part of the ceremonial law, which was fulfilled in the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus.

Ceremonial Law:

1. Is called, "the law contained in ordinances. Eph 2:15.

2. Was spoken by Moses. Lev 1:1-3.

3. Was written by Moses in a book. 11 Chron 35:12.

4. Was placed in the side of the ark. Deut 31:24-26.

5. Was nailed to the cross. Col.2:14.

6. Was abolished by Christ. Eph 2:15.

10 Commandments:

1. Is called, the "royal law." Ja 2:8.

2. Was spoken by God. Deut 4:12,13.

3. Was written with the finger of God. Ex 31:18.

4. Was placed inside the ark. Ex 40:20;He9:4.

5. Is to "stand forever and ever." Ps 111:7,8.

6. Was not destroyed by Christ. Matt 5:17,18.

I find it interesting that the one commandment, He told us to "remember," is the one we have forgotten.

I have attended different denominational churches. In everyone of them, when I hear something that doesn't line up with Scripture, I speak up. That is how I come out of Babylon's traditions. Sometimes, people get mad, but, often, when they take a second look, they thank me. My allegiance is to the Word, not to any church.

After hearing a through teaching (from Genesis-Revelation) on the Sabbath, I, now, attend a Sabbath-keeping church. I have lost friends, because they don't want to hear about it. I love them, and miss them, but, I have committed to embracing every Word of God.

I have a Pentecostal background. Although, coming out of a medical family, Jesus has been my healer and miracle worker for decades. I have seen a man rise from the dead. My family and friends have experienced many miracles. Why? Because I take Jesus at His word. The church I am in is not, Pentecostal. But, I talk about divine healing, the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. I miss the worship. They, sometimes, get irritated at me, but, they can't deny the Word of God.

Jesus said, "And these signs SHALL follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they SHALL speak with new tongues; they SHALL take up serpents: and if they drink any deadly thing, it SHALL not hurt them; they SHALL lay hands on the sick, and they SHALL recover." Mark 16:17,18.

There are churches that are fulfilling the Great Commission, with signs and wonders following. One such church is Bethel in Redding, California. They are. literally, going into grocery stores and healing the sick. Praise the Lord!

If these things aren't happening in our lives, it is because we have an evil heart of unbelief. That is why Jesus couldn't do many works in Nazareth. Unbelief is evil because it is setting our will against the Holy Spirit.

James said, "he that hath not believed God hath made him a liar."

I don't want to be that person. Sadly, I don't find many people that cleave to the entire Word of God.

Christmas isn't the issue. This post is to enlighten people on the instrusion of paganism into the church.

Why are they not literally going into the cancer wards of Shasta Regional Medical Center or Mercy Medical Center and healing the sick? Why do they not clean out the inpatient mentally ill at Shasta County Mental Health or Shasta County Psychiatric Hospital? Why do they not restore missing limbs of those seeking treatment at the Northern California Rehab Hospital? Do they limit their ministry only to grocery stores?

Perhaps they are sort of like Benny Hinn who can only heal on stage in front of the TV cameras.

Well, if you ever figure out why Jesus didn't heal EVERY LEPER IN ISRAEL, your unbelief will be cured..........

Could you give some examples please?

This is correct.

Too bad Christians think Christmas on December 25th is really the birth of Jesus Christ and all things associated with that celebration.

Constantine was no Christian.

Catholic... Roman Emperor... the first pope...heretic.

Constantine was the first Roman Emperor who was a Christian. Is that what you meant? As far as Christians thinking Jesus was born on the 25th, like youreself, most of us are fully aware that there is no record of the exact day, or even month Jesus was born, yet we do celebrate it anyway. If we celebrated on July 25th instead, you likely would have said the same thing, no? The important thing isn't what day he was born, or what day we celebrate his birth, but that he was, in fact, born.

Actually Constantine didn't become a Christian until he was on his death-bed and it is believed that he did so, "just in case the Christians are right."

Constantine's "Edict of Religious Tolerance," which gave Christianity the right to exist, but didn't end persecution. Arians persecuted Christians as well as his brother, the Emperor of the East, who wanted to return Roman Paganism to the official religion.

There were many varying beliefs among Christians, gnosticism was still around and Arianism, was growing.

The end the conflicts, Constantine called for the Bishops of the Church, to call the Council of Necea, in order for the Church to set down, the beliefs of the Christian Church. Constantine had no part in writing doctrine, or theological opinion. He left that up to the Biships themselves.

These would be the core belief's the Church has held for the past 1700 years.
