Today, we use the Gregorian calendar from Pope Gregory; from the 1500’s,

 

Today is June 12, 2021

June -- Juno's month – another goddess

Middle English jun(e)
Old French juin
Old English junius
Latin Junius "of Juno"
Latin Junius mensis "month of Juno"

Junius had 30 days, until Numa when it had 29 days, until Julius when it became 30 days long.

Juno is the principle goddess of the Roman Pantheon. She is the goddess of marriage and the well-being of women. She is the wife and sister of Jupiter. She is identified with the Greek goddess Hera.

 

 

Yehovah God has His own calendar, which is deleted from the world 

We are now in the 4th month of God which has no name, day 1

Like I said, today is the 4th month of the God of Israel, day 1

This month has no name

Judaism and some Messianics call it Tammuz - a pagan deity - which is made up

Ezek. 8 [14] Then he brought me to the door of the gate of the Yehovah's house which was toward the north; and, behold, there sat women weeping for Tammuz.

תַּמּוּז  a Sumerian deity of food or vegetation, a Phoenician deity

 

We read from law and the prophets every Sabbath like they did in the Book of Acts.

Acts 13 [15] And after the reading of the law and the prophets…

Luke 24[44] And Yeshua said unto them, These are the words which I spoke unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.

The Word of God - Torah, Prophets and Writings (psalms)

Ta Na Kk is an acronym for:

T = Torah (law, teachings) - first 5 books of Moses

N = Navi' eem or prophets (pl. sounds like - Na vi eem)

K = Ke'tuvim or writings (psalms etc.)

At this point, there were neither gospels nor letters.

 

 Today’s Topic:

Why are we at this congregation?

Apostle Paul, in his second letter to the Corinthians and his letter to the Galatians, indicates at his time, there were (false) other gospels, (false) other spirits and (false) another Yeshua.

2 Cor. 11 [4] For if he that cometh preacheth another Yeshua, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.

Gal. 1 [6] I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Messiah unto another gospel:

[7] Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Messiah.
[8] But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
[9] As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.

Messiah Yeshua says there will be (false) other Messiahs / Christs - (false) other prophets

Matt. 24 [24] For there shall arise false Messiahs / Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

 Mark 13 [22] For false Messiahs / Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.

Apostle Peter indicates in his letter, that there were (false) other prophets and there will be (false) other teachers.

2 Pet. 2 [1] But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying Yehovah that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.

Apostle John indicates that at the end of time, there will the dragon, the beast, / Anti-Messiah / Christ and the false prophet

Again - "(false) other or another"

Rev. 16 [13] And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.

Rev. 19 [20] And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.

Rev. 20 [10] And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night forever and ever.

Great advice:

1Tim.6 [20] O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called:

2Tim.2 [16] But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.[17] And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;[18] Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some.

[23] But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes.

Tit.3 [9] But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.

 

So why are we here in this congregation today? At the end this will tell.

Let’s go over what we believe in this congregation.

Here again is a “checklist” in 2021 of 87 possibilities for you to decide, much of this is our doctrine of what we believe.

Over the years, I have comprised many "checklists", scriptural credentials you might need to "check off" as you choose where you attend and to whom you should listen too.

***If the church, congregation or synagogue you plan to attend follows this "checklist" of places not to attend, then you are on the right path.

So, who is preaching the Truth?

Today we need to include YouTube religious videos, all social media and platforms, sites, Apps on all types of phones, iPads, laptops, Desktops, any podcasts etc…

Some biggies with billions of subscribers:

YouTube, Face Book, Twitter, Skype, Instagram, Pinterest, LinkedIn, Reddit , Meetup, Google+, Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok, WhatsApp,  just to name a few.

There are many websites with Social Media Sites & App lists for 2021

I remember reading, as one site states: There are lists of “250 social media apps” as of October 2018 and keeps growing. Updated periodically, the list is available in 32 languages

Be careful on who and what you listen too.

There might be a few duplicates, I will correct later…

Let’s start the list of 104 possibilities for you to decide.

1 - Does the church / synagogue believe Yeshua is the Messiah, the Word of Yehovah, God made in the flesh of Israel, Savior of the world?

(Make sure they don't believe Yeshua is just some man or just a prophet)

2 - A - Does the church / synagogue even keep the 10 commandments?

Especially look for the 4th commandment, the Sabbath, which is on Friday sundown until Saturday sundown - no work, no buying and selling.

Do they say the law is gone, we read the “New Testament” (meaning the gospels and letters)

B -What is the main day your church or synagogue meets, Saturday or Sunday? (Should be Saturday) Sunday is the first day of the week to work.

C - Does the church / synagogue say it is a “commandment” to light candles on the Sabbath? (very false – no such commandment in scripture)

D - Does the church / synagogue welcome in the Sabbath Queen on the Sabbath? (very false)

Judaism has many other false traditions, beware!

Don't be tricked and brought into a "messianic" group that follows Judaism - (hundreds of flavors today of messianic groups).

3 - Does the church / synagogue know and observe the "Feasts of Yehovah" (not from Judaism) or do they do pagan holidays?

Some pagan holidays and observances not to observe:

Christmas – false embellishments over the years…

Chanukah (same time as Christmas) – on the 25th of Kislev are the days of Chanukah, which are eight... these were appointed a Festival with Hillel [prayers of praise] and thanksgiving. - Shabbat 21b, Babylonian Talmud (we don't follow)

Don't buy a 8 or 9 candlestick Menorah, unscriptural, no 8 days of oil in the Maccabee stories – made up

Easter

Valentine’s Day

Saint Patrick Day

Thanksgiving

Halloween

Fat Tuesday

Lent

Conformation

Ash Wednesday - too many Catholic feasts to list

Kwanzaa - Ron Karenga (aka Dr. Maulana Ron Karenga) invented the seven-day feast (Dec. 26-Jan. 1) in 1966, branding it a black alternative to Christmas. The idea was to celebrate the end of what he considered the Christmas-season exploitation of African Americans.

Judaism's Rosh Hashanah, New Year and Passovers are wrong (don't follow Jewish calendars, they have made-up names)

Bar or Bat - Mitzvahs

Tu B' Shevat - too many feasts in Judaism to list

Tisha B'Av

(Really just anything you can't verify by the scriptures)

 

4 - Does the church / synagogue know about the "7 Sabbaths" in the feasts of Yehovah?

5 - What version of scripture is used at the church / synagogue? (Any version other then the KJV in English is erroneous. This will show if the leader there did his or her homework on bible versions in English) There hundreds of versions to deceive you.

You better do your home work on Bible versions.

Don't be tricked and brought into a debate with someone you can tell did not do his or her due diligence in this matter.

6 - Does the church / synagogue add or diminish from the Word of Yehovah?

What is the title of the leader of the church / synagogue? (Make sure it is not rabbi or messianic rabbi or Father)

14 - Does the church / synagogue "rent out" their buildings to other religions, businesses, garage sales, daycare center?

15 - Does the church / synagogue follow the Two House Doctrine of today, not the Two Houses in the Scriptures? (very false)

1 - Don't be tricked and brought into a Two House Doctrine of today (hundreds of flavors today).

We do believe in the Two Houses of Jacob, Israel, in scripture that will be brought back together and innumerable amount of nations, gentiles will the Body.

2 - Also don't be tricked into believing you "might be" Yosef or Ephraim. (You never can prove that anyway, the name Ephraim shows up "only once" in the Gospels and letters only as a city)

Read:

Rev. 7 [4] And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.  (Ephraim is not named there)

[9] After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;[10] And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sits upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.

Don't be tricked and brought into a "name game argument". (Sacred Name Cult - late 1930's)

37 - Does the church / synagogue take out the "o" in Lord like L_rd and God like G_d? (very false, made up in Judaism)

38 - Does the church / synagogue say men or women need to play "dress up Judaism"? (Judaism garb) 

They say, “You need to wear a beard, tallit (magic fringe), tefillin, or yarmulke? (false traditions)

The words tallit and yarmulke are not in the Hebrew Bible (false traditions)

Also beware of good-luck charms, jewelry, trinkets and made-up ceremonies you "feel" you "need" to wear and "do".

Example: Some Jews wear the hamesh hand. Arab cultures often refer to it as the Hand of Fatima - (pagan)

39 - Does the church / synagogue have Easter egg hunts? (false traditions) by the way, rabbits don't lay eggs
