Today we use the Gregorian calendar from Pope
Gregory, from the 1500’s
Today is Dec. 29, 2012
December -- the tenth
month – (now in 2012 – it is the 12th month)
Middle English decembre
Old French decembre
Latin december "tenth
month"
Latin decem "ten" + -ber (adj. suffix)
December had 30 days, until Numa
when it had 29 days, until Julius when it became 31 days long.
------------------
Now, God’s truth
Yehovah has His own calendar
We are now in the tenth month,
which is the month Tebeth, 15th
day
Esth.2[16]
So Esther was taken unto king Ahasuerus into his house royal in the tenth month, which is the month Tebeth, טֵבֵת in the seventh year of his reign.
(Part of Dec. 2012 & Jan. 2013)

Remember:
"Tis the season to be pagan", Beware!
---------
Beware of the:
False image of Love
False feelings and emotions
These pagan feasts bring on loneliness, depression,
suicide, murder, and oh yes, debt.

I said a few weeks ago, it is time to focusing on two
fictitious holidays that almost everyone participates in one way or another
that comes in December, Christmas and Chanukah.
Remember John said:
1
John 2 [21] I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye
know it, and that no lie is of the truth.
Rev. 21
[8] But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the
abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars,
shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
-----------------
Just for the record:
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 pseudo Christmas-season exploitation of African
Americans.
Another made up feast to kill each
other over

Some news
Freeway deaths for the year – many States hit almost 1000 people
dead
--------------
Major
crime in New York City inched up this year, and Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg on
Friday fingered the culprit: too many iPhones and iPads were being swiped.
A rise in thefts of shiny Apple products accounted for
the slight increase in the city’s annual crime index, a statistic that covers a
number of felonies, including murder, grand larceny and robbery, Mr. Bloomberg
said on Friday morning during his weekly radio show.
-----------
Gun deaths and injuries have dropped sharply
in California, even as the number of guns sold in the state has risen,
according to new state data.
------------
WASHINGTON (CBS DC) –
American soldier suicides continue to outnumber combat-related deaths in 2012,
and the trajectory for soldier suicides continues to get worse.
Statistics released by the Department of the Army show that
through November potentially 303 active-duty, Reserve and National Guard
soldiers committed suicide. As of Dec. 7, Stars and Stripes reports that 212 soldiers have died in
combat-related deaths in Afghanistan.
-------------
A Thursday evening shooting in the west side of
Chicago marked a milestone for the Windy City: for the first time since 2008,
the city can likely claim 500 homicides in a single year.
With still a few days to go until the new year, 40-year-old Nathaniel T. Jackson became the (500) five-hundredth
person killed in Chicago, Illinois since the start of 2012.
In 2011, the city saw only 435 homicides.

Enough
-------------------------------------
Well pagan, made up Christmas and Chanukah
are over again.
Soon we will have made up New Year
Middle English Januarie
Latin Januarius "of Janus"
Latin Janu(s) "Janus" + -arius "ary (pertaining to)"
Latin Januarius mensis "month of Janus"
Janus is the Roman god of gates and doorways,
depicted with two faces looking in opposite directions. His festival month is
January.
Januarius
had 29 days, until Julius when it became 31 days long.
-------------------
The
celebration of the New Year on January 1st is a relatively new phenomenon.
The
earliest recording of a New Year celebration is believed to have been in
Mesopotamia, c. 2000 B.C. and was celebrated around the time of the vernal
equinox, in mid-March. A variety of other dates tied to the seasons were also
used by various ancient cultures. The Egyptians, Phoenicians, and Persians
began their new year with the fall equinox, and the Greeks celebrated it on the
winter solstice.
The
early Roman calendar designated March 1 as the New Year. The calendar had just
ten months, beginning with March. That the New Year once began with the month
of March is still reflected in some of the names of the months. September
through December, our ninth through twelfth months, were originally positioned
as the seventh through tenth months (septem is Latin
for "seven," octo is "eight," novem is "nine," and decem
is "ten."
The
first time the new year was celebrated on January 1st was in Rome in 153 B.C.
(In fact, the month of January did not even exist until around 700 B.C., when
the second king of Rome, Numa Pontilius, added the
months of January and February.) The new year was moved from March to January
because that was the beginning of the civil year, the month that the two newly
elected Roman consuls—the highest officials in the Roman republic—began their
one-year tenure. But this new year date was not always
strictly and widely observed, and the new year was still sometimes celebrated
on March 1.
In
46 B.C. Julius Caesar introduced a new, solar-based calendar that was a vast
improvement on the ancient Roman calendar, which was a lunar system that had
become wildly inaccurate over the years. The Julian calendar decreed that the New
Year would occur with January 1, and within the Roman world, January 1 became
the consistently observed start of the new year.
In
medieval Europe, however, the celebrations accompanying the New Year were
considered pagan and un- pseudo christian
like, and in 567 the Council of Tours abolished January 1 as the beginning of
the year. At various times and in various places throughout medieval pseudo Christian
Europe, the new year was celebrated on:
Dec.
25, the birth of Yeshua
March
1
March
25 the Feast of the Annunciation
Easter
Looks
like the Catholics took over above
In
1582, the Gregorian calendar reform restored January 1 as New Year’s Day.
Although most Catholic countries adopted the Gregorian calendar almost
immediately, it was only gradually adopted among Protestant countries. The
British, for example, did not adopt the reformed calendar until 1752. Until
then, the British Empire —and their American colonies— still celebrated the New
Year in March.
------------------------
When Julius Caesar (100-44 B.C.) crafted the Julian
calendar in 46 B.C., he moved the beginning of the year to January 1. Even
after the introduction of the Gregorian calendar in 1582, January 1 continued
to be recognized as the first day of the year in most places.
However, up until 1752, England and its American colonies
started the new year with March 25, representing the
spring equinox. (The equinox, which occurs each spring and fall, is the date on
which the sun shines most directly on the equator and day and
night are of roughly equal length). Under this system, March 24, 1700,
was followed by March 25, 1701. In 1752, the British government declared that
January 1 would begin the new year.

A Judaism source
In 46 B.C.E. the Roman emperor
Julius Caesar first established January 1 as New Year’s Day. Janus was the
Roman god of doors and gates, and had two faces, one looking forward and one
back. Caesar felt that the month named after this god (“January”) would
be the appropriate “door” to the year. Caesar celebrated the first
January 1 New Year by ordering the violent routing of revolutionary Jewish
forces in the Galilee. Eyewitnesses say blood flowed in the
streets. In later years, Roman pagans observed the New Year by engaging
in drunken orgies—a ritual they believed constituted a personal re-enacting of
the chaotic world that existed before the cosmos was ordered by the gods.
As pseudo Christianity
spread, pagan holidays were either incorporated into the pseudo Christian
calendar or abandoned altogether. By the early medieval period most of pseudo
Christian Europe regarded Annunciation Day (March 25) as the beginning of the
year. (According to Catholic tradition, Annunciation Day commemorates the
angel Gabriel’s announcement to Mary that she would be impregnated by G-d and conceives
a son to be called Yeshua.)
After William
the Conqueror (AKA “William the Bastard” and “William of Normandy”) became King
of England on December 25, 1066, he decreed that the English return to the date
established by the Roman pagans, January 1. This move ensured that the
commemoration of Yeshua’ birthday (December 25) would align with William’s
coronation, and the commemoration of Yeshua’ circumcision (January 1) would
start the new year - thus rooting the English and Christian
calendars and his own Coronation). William’s innovation was eventually
rejected, and England rejoined the rest of the pseudo Christian world and
returned to celebrating New Years Day on March 25.
About five hundred years
later, in 1582, Pope Gregory XIII (AKA “Ugo Boncompagni”, 1502-1585) abandoned the traditional Julian
calendar. By the Julian reckoning, the solar year comprised 365.25 days,
and the intercalation of a “leap day” every four years was intended to maintain
correspondence between the calendar and the seasons. Really, however
there was a slight inaccuracy in the Julian measurement (the solar year is
actually 365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes and 46 seconds = 365.2422 days).
This slight inaccuracy caused the Julian calendar to slip behind the seasons
about one day per century. Although this regression had amounted to 14
days by Pope Gregory’s time, he based his reform on restoration of the vernal
equinox, then falling on March 11, to the date had 1,257 years earlier when
Council of Nicaea was convened (March 21, 325 C.E.). Pope Gregory made
the correction by advancing the calendar 10 days. The change was made the
day after October 4, 1582, and that following day was established as October
15, 1582.
The Gregorian
calendar differs from the Julian in three ways:
(1) No century
year is a leap year unless it is exactly divisible by 400 (e.g., 1600, 2000,
etc.);
(2) Years
divisible by 4000 are common (not leap) years;
(3) once again the New Year would begin with the date set by the
early pagans, the first day of the month of Janus - January 1.
On New Years Day 1577 Pope Gregory XIII decreed that all Roman
Jews, under pain of death, must listen attentively to the compulsory Catholic
conversion sermon given in Roman synagogues after Friday night services.
On New Years Day 1578 Gregory signed into law a tax
forcing Jews to pay for the support of a “House of Conversion” to convert Jews
to Messiahianity. On New Years
1581 Gregory ordered his troops to confiscate all sacred literature from the
Roman Jewish community. Thousands of Jews were murdered in the campaign.
Throughout the
medieval and post-medieval periods, January 1 - supposedly the day on which Yeshua’
circumcision initiated the reign of pseudo Christianity and the death of
Judaism - was reserved for anti-Jewish activities: synagogue and book burnings,
public tortures, and simple murder.
The Israeli term for New
Year’s night celebrations, “Sylvester,” was the name of the “Saint” and Roman
Pope who reigned during the Council of Nicaea (325 C.E.). The year before
the Council of Nicaea convened, Sylvester convinced Constantine to prohibit
Jews from living in Jerusalem. At the Council of Nicaea, Sylvester
arranged for the passage of a host of viciously anti-Semitic legislation.
All Catholic “Saints” are awarded a day on which pseudo Christians celebrate
and pay tribute to that Saint’s memory. December 31 is Saint Sylvester
Day - hence celebrations on the night of December 31 are dedicated to
Sylvester’s memory.

Are you

How did you do this year with the pagan holidays in December?
????????
Remember:
Fake New Year is coming again - Jan. 1 - when everything is
dead
--------------
God's New Year is in Exodus 12 - in Spring, when all is new
again
Exod. 12 [2] This
month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of
the year to you.
Exod.13 [4] This day came ye out in the month Abib. – ha Aviv – the newness, Spring
-----------
Let's start with the letter to the Romans
[1] Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that
they might be saved.
[2] For I bear them record that they have a
zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.
[3] For they being ignorant of God's
righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not
submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.
[4] For Messiah is the end (goal) of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.
end = τέλος - telos - tel'-os
- From a primary word τέλλω tellō
(to set out for a definite point or goal); properly the point aimed at as a
limit, that is, (by implication) the conclusion of an act or state.
--------------
back to:
[5] For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them.
Lev. 18 [5]
Ye shall therefore keep my statutes, and my judgments:
which if a man do, he shall live in them:
I am Yehovah.
Neh. 9 [29]
And testifiedst against them, that thou mightest bring them again unto thy law: yet they dealt
proudly, and hearkened not unto thy commandments, but sinned against thy
judgments, (which if a man do, he shall live in them;)
and withdrew the shoulder, and hardened their neck, and would not hear.
Ezek. 20 [11] And I gave them my statutes, and shewed them my judgments, which if a man do, he shall even live in them.
[13] But the house of Israel rebelled against me in the wilderness: they walked not in my statutes, and they despised my judgments, which if a man do, he shall even live in them; and my sabbaths they greatly polluted: then I said, I would pour out my fury upon them in the wilderness, to consume them.
[21] Notwithstanding the children rebelled against me: they walked not in my statutes, neither kept my judgments to do them, which if a man do, he shall even live in them; they polluted my sabbaths: then I said, I would pour out my fury upon them, to accomplish my anger against them in the wilderness.
------------
back to:
[6]
But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on
this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who
shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Messiah
down from above:)
[7] Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that
is, to bring up Messiah again from the dead.)
[8] But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in
thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;
Deut. 30 [11] For this commandment which I command thee this day, it is not hidden from thee, neither is it far off.
[12]
It is not in heaven, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go up for us to heaven,
and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it?
[13] Neither is it beyond the sea, that thou shouldest say, Who
shall go over the sea for us, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do
it?
[14] But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that
thou mayest do it.
back to:
[9]
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Yeshua, and shalt believe in
thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
[10] For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the
mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Paul says:
[11] For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
ashamed = καταισχύνω - kataischunō - kat-ahee-skhoo'-no - to shame down, that is, disgrace or (by implication) put to the blush: - confound, dishonor, (be a-, make a-) shame (-d).
Isa. 28 [16]
Therefore thus saith Lord Yehovah, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a
stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste. (be confounded to go unto a false god - be ashamed)
haste = חוּשׁ - chûsh - koosh - A primitive root; to hurry; figuratively to be eager with excitement or enjoyment: - (make) haste (-n), ready.
Peter says:
1 Pet. 2 [6] Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.
καταισχύνω - kataischunō - kat-ahee-skhoo'-no - to shame down, that is, disgrace or (by implication) put to the blush: - confound, dishonor, (be a-, make a-) shame (-d).
-----------
back to:
Rom. 10 [12]
For there is no difference between the Jew and the
Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him.
[13] For whosoever shall call upon the name of Yeshua shall be saved.
[14] How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not
heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
[15] And how shall they preach, except they be
sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them
that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
Isa. 52 [7] How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth!
back to:
Rom. 10 [16] But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?
Isa. 53 [1] Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of Yehovah revealed?
back to:
Rom. 10 [17]
So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the
word of God.
[18] But I say, Have they not heard? Yes
verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of
the world.
[19] But I say, Did not Israel know? First Moses saith, I will provoke you to jealousy by
them that are no people, and by a foolish nation I will anger you.
Deut. 32 [21] They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God; they have provoked me to anger with their vanities: and I will move them to jealousy with those which are not a people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation.
back to:
Rom. 10 [20] But Esaias is very bold, and saith, I was found of them that sought me not; I was made manifest unto them that asked not after me.
Isa. 65 [1] I am sought of them that asked not for me; I am found of them that sought me not: I said, Behold me, behold me, unto a nation that was not called by my name.
back to:
Rom. 10 [21]
But to Israel he saith, All day long I have
stretched forth my hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying people.
[2]
I have spread out my hands all the day unto a rebellious people, which walketh in a way that was not good, after their own
thoughts;
[3] A people that provoketh me to anger
continually to my face; that sacrificeth in gardens,
and burneth incense upon altars of brick;
[4] Which remain among the graves, and lodge in the monuments, which eat
swine's flesh, and broth of abominable things is in their vessels;
[5] Which say, Stand by thyself, come not near to me; for I am holier
than thou. These are a smoke in my nose, a fire that burneth
all the day.
--------------
if our gospel be hid...
2 Cor. 4
[1] Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not;
[2] But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.
[3] But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
[4] In whom the god of this world (Satan) hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Messiah, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
-----------------------
So if our gospel be hid, do you deny Yehovah? Better not!
Another Jesus / Yeshua - another spirit - another gospel
[ 1] Would to God ye could bear with me a little in my folly: and indeed bear with me.
[2] For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Messiah / Messiah.
[3] But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Messiah / Messiah.
[4] For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus / 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. Why are you ready to receive this?
[13] ... false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Messiah.
[14] And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
[15] Therefore it is no great thing if his (Satan's) ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
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.
--------------
So because Satan hids the Truth, are you ready to deny Yehovah\ Yeshua? Better not!
Josh. 24 [27]
And Joshua said unto all the people, Behold, this stone shall be a witness unto
us; for it hath heard all the words of Yehovah which he spake unto us: it shall
be therefore a witness unto you, lest ye deny your
God.
Prov. 30 [7]
Two things have I required of thee; deny me them not before I die: [8]
Remove far from me vanity and lies: give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me
with food convenient for me:[9] Lest I be full, and deny thee, and say, Who is Yehovah? or lest I be poor, and steal, and take the name of my God in
vain.
Matt. 10 [33] But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.
[34]
Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
[35] For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the
daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
[36] And a man's foes shall be they of his own
household.
[37] He that loveth father or
mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth
son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
[38] And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth
after me, is not worthy of me.
[39] He that findeth his life shall lose it:
and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find
it.
Mic. 7 [6] For the son dishonoureth the
father, the daughter riseth up against her mother,
the daughter in law against her mother in law; a
man's enemies are the men of his own house.
----------------
Even Peter denied Yeshua
[34] Yeshua said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this night, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.
[35] Peter said unto him, Though I should die with thee, yet will I not deny thee. Likewise also said all the disciples.
[69]
Now Peter sat without in the palace: and a damsel came unto him, saying, Thou
also wast with Yeshua of Galilee.
[70] But he denied before them all,
saying, I know not what thou sayest.
[71] And when he was gone out into the porch, another maid saw him, and
said unto them that were there, This fellow was also
with Yeshua of Nazareth.
[72] And again he denied with an oath,
I do not know the man.
[73] And after a while came unto him they that stood by, and said to
Peter, Surely thou also art one of them; for thy speech bewrayeth
thee.
[74] Then began he to curse and to swear,
saying, I know not the man. And immediately the
cock crew.
[75] And Peter remembered the word of Yeshua, which said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And he went
out, and wept bitterly.
[30] And Yeshua saith unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this day, even in this night, before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice.
[31] But he spake the more vehemently, If I should die with thee, I will not deny thee in any wise. Likewise also said they all.
[72] And the second time the cock crew. And Peter called to mind the word that Yeshua said unto him, Before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice. And when he thought thereon, he wept.
[31] And Yehovah said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat:
[32] But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.
[33] And he said unto him, Lord, I am ready to go with thee, both into prison, and to death.
[34] And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me.
[61] And Yehovah turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the word of Yehovah, how he had said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.
-----------------------
2 Tim. 2 [12] If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us: [13] If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.
------
2Tim. 3
[1]
This know also, that in the last days perilous times
shall come.
[2] For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters,
proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
[3] Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers,
incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
[4] Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of
pleasures more than lovers of God;
[5] Having a form of godliness, but denying
the power thereof: from such turn away.
[6] For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive
silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
[7] Ever learning, and never able to come to the
knowledge of the truth.
[8] Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth:
men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.
[9] But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest
unto all men, as theirs also was.
------
[10]
For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the
circumcision:
[11] Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching
things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake.
[12] One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians are alway liars, evil
beasts, slow bellies.
[13] This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may
be sound in the faith;
[14] Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that
turn from the truth.
[15]
Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and
unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled.
[16] They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.
------------
We are to deny ourselves not God
[11]
For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath
appeared to all men,
[12] Teaching us that, denying ungodliness
and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly,
in this present world;
[13] Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the
great God and our Saviour Yeshua Messiah;
[14] Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity,
and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
[15] These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let
no man despise thee.
-------------
[24] Then said Yeshua unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
[25]
For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his
life for my sake shall find it.
[26] For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and
lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in
exchange for his soul?
[27] For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his
angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.
[28] Verily I say unto you, There be some
standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man
coming in his kingdom.
[34]
And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said
unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him
deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
[35] For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall
lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it.
[36] For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world,
and lose his own soul?
[37] Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
[38] Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this
adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed,
when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.
[23] And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.
[24] For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever
will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.
[25] For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the
whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away?
[26] For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son
of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his Father's,
and of the holy angels.
--------------------------------------------------------
[32]
Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before
my Father which is in heaven.
[33] But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before
my Father which is in heaven.
[34] Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send
peace, but a sword.
[35] For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the
daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
[36] And a man's foes shall be they of his own
household.
Back
to Matt.10
[37] He that loveth father or mother more than
me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or
daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
[38] And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth
after me, is not worthy of me.
[39] He that findeth his life shall lose it:
and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find
it.
------------
You cannot be my disciple.
[26] If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.
[27] And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.
[33] So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.
[25] He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.
[26] If any man serve me, let him follow me; and
where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my
Father honour.

2 Pet. 2 and Jude sound the same, must be important
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.
[2] And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.
[3] And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make
merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth
not, and their damnation slumbereth not.
[4] For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to
hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;
[5] And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a
preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;
[6] And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha
into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those
that after should live ungodly;
[7] And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the
wicked:
[8] (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing,
vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;)
[9] Yehovah knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to
reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:
[10] But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of
uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled,
they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.
[11] Whereas angels, which are greater in power and might, bring not
railing accusation against them before Yehovah.
[12] But these, as natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed,
speak evil of the things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in
their own corruption;
[13] And shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that count
it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting
themselves with their own deceivings while they feast
with you;
[14] Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin;
beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices;
cursed children:
[15] Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following
the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the
wages of unrighteousness;
[16] But was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with man's
voice forbad the madness of the prophet.
[17] These are wells without water, clouds that are carried with a
tempest; to whom the mist of darkness is reserved for
ever.
[18] For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure
through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness, those that were clean
escaped from them who live in error.
[19] While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants
of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the
same is he brought in bondage.
[20] For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through
the knowledge of Yehovah and Saviour Yeshua Messiah,
they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with
them than the beginning.
[21] For it had been better for them not to have known the way of
righteousness, than, after they have known it, to
turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them.
[22] But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that
was washed to her wallowing in the mire.
Jude 1
[1]
Jude, the servant of Yeshua Messiah, and brother of James, to them that are
sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Yeshua Messiah, and called:
[2] Mercy unto you, and peace, and love, be multiplied.
[3] Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common
salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye
should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the
saints.
[4] For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old
ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into
lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and
our Lord Yeshua Messiah.
[5] I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this,
how that Yehovah, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward
destroyed them that believed not.
[6] And the angels which kept not their first
estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains
under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.
[7] Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities
about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going
after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of
eternal fire.
[8] Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise
dominion, and speak evil of dignities.
[9] Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he
disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing
accusation, but said, Yehovah rebuke thee.
[10] But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what
they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.
[11] Woe unto them! for they have gone in the
way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and
perished in the gainsaying of Core.
[12] These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with
you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried
about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without
fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;
[13] Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering
stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for
ever.
[14] And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying,
Behold, Yehovah cometh with ten thousands of his saints,
[15] To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly
among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of
all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.
[16] These are murmurers, complainers, walking
after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having
men's persons in admiration because of advantage.
[17] But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the
apostles of our Lord Yeshua Messiah;
[18] How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time,
who should walk after their own ungodly lusts.
[19] These be they who separate themselves,
sensual, having not the Spirit.
[20] But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith,
praying in the Holy Ghost,
[21] Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our
Lord Yeshua Messiah unto eternal life.
[22] And of some have compassion, making a difference:
[23] And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating
even the garment spotted by the flesh.
[24] Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present
you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,
[25] To the only wise God our Saviour, be
glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.
----------------------------
Remember: Are you denying yourself or denying Yehovah/Yeshua?
2 Cor. 13 [5] Examine
yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves.
Know ye not your own selves, how that Yeshua the Messiah is in you, except ye be reprobates?
