The Gregorian calendar (Pope Gregory, 1500's) – August 1, 2009
--------------
We restore the calendar of God
We are now in the 5th month of God, no
name in scripture – 9th day
--------------
Question: Why should we not call the 5th month AV?
Answer: Simple, NO
Question: Why?
Answer: You shall not add neither shall you
diminish from any word which YHVH commands you
Deut.
4 [2] Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye
diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God
which I command you.
Deut.
12 [32] What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not
add thereto, nor diminish from it.
Prov.
30 [6] Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found
a liar.
--------------
Question: Why are we here today?
Answer: We were told to remember the Sabbath Day to keep it holy
The 4th Commandment is a part of the covenant given to us
at Mount Sinai in the 3rd month, Sivan
Ex. 20 [8] Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
[9] Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy
work:
[10] But the seventh day is the Sabbath of the
LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy
daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger
that is within thy gates:
[11] For in six days the LORD made heaven and
earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore
the LORD blessed the Sabbath day, and hallowed it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Topic – Part 2 - Prove all things by the Word
Last week I told you people tell me
all the time, all churches and synagogues say they are the only true right one.
Whom should I believe? Where
should I attend?
Again - Prove all things with the Word
----------------------------------------------
I have comprised a "short
checklist" of scriptural credentials you need to "check off" as you carefully choose what
congregation you attend and who you choose to listen too.
I received some opposition this week with some of
the topics, which is to be expected. However, I say again,
“Prove all things with the Word”
Let’s
go over this checklist again J
-------------------------------------
Go down this short checklist with the church or synagogue you
attend.
Please, before you read this checklist, just remember:
Jer.
16 [19] O LORD, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of
affliction, the Gentiles shall come unto thee from the
ends of the earth, and shall say,
Surely our fathers have
inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is
no profit.
------------
This
checklist is in no certain order.
1 - Does the church / synagogue believe Yeshua is the
Messiah, the Word of YHVH made flesh, 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 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.
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).
------------
3 - Does the church / synagogue know
and observe the "Feasts of the Lord" (not from Judaism) or do they do
pagan holidays?
Some pagan holidays and observances not to observe:
Christmas
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
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
(Just anything you
can't verify by the scriptures)
------------
4 - Does the church / synagogue know
about the "7 Sabbaths" in the feasts of YHVH?
------------
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 YHVH?
------------
7 - What is the title of the leader of
the church / synagogue? (Make sure it is not rabbi or messianic rabbi or
Father)
------------

buildings to other religions, businesses, garage sales, daycare center?

Doctrine of today 2009, 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 2009).
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 sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.

The words tallit and yarmulke are not
in the Hebrew Bible (false traditions)
Also beware of good-luck charms, jewelry, trinkets

Time to be "proved"
YHVH proves you
Exod.
16 [4] Then said YHVH unto Moses, Behold, I
will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather a
certain rate every day, that I may prove them,
whether they will walk in my law, or no.
---------------
Exod.
20 [20] And Moses said unto the people, Fear
not: for God is come to prove you, and
that his fear may be before your faces, that ye sin not.
---------------
Deut.
8 [2] And thou shalt remember all the way
which YHVH thy God led thee these forty
years in the wilderness, to humble thee, and to
prove thee, to know what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or no.
[16] Who fed
thee in the wilderness with manna, which thy fathers knew not, that he might
humble thee, and that he might prove thee,
to do thee good at thy latter end;
---------------
Deut.
13 [3] Thou shalt not hearken unto the words
of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for YHVH
your God proveth you, to know whether ye love YHVH your God with all
your heart and with all your soul.
---------------
Judg. 2 [18] And when YHVH raised them up judges, then YHVH was with the judge,
and delivered them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge:
for it repented YHVH because of their groanings by reason of them that
oppressed them and vexed them.
[19] And it came to pass, when the judge
was dead, that they returned, and corrupted themselves more than their fathers,
in following other gods to serve them, and to bow down unto them; they ceased
not from their own doings, nor from their stubborn way.
[20] And the anger of YHVH was hot against
Israel; and he said, Because that this people hath transgressed my covenant
which I commanded their fathers, and have not hearkened unto my voice;
[21] I also will not henceforth drive out
any from before them of the nations which Joshua left when he died:
[22] That through them I may prove Israel, whether they will keep the
way of YHVH to walk therein, as their fathers did keep
it, or not.
---------------
Judg. 3 [1] Now these are the nations which YHVH
left, to prove Israel by them, even as
many of Israel as had not known all the wars of Canaan;
[2] Only that the generations of the
children of Israel might know, to teach them war, at the least such as before
knew nothing thereof;
[3] Namely, five lords of the Philistines,
and all the Canaanites, and the Sidonians, and the Hivites that dwelt in mount
Lebanon, from mount Baal-hermon unto the entering in of Hamath.
[4] And they were to prove Israel by them, to know whether they would hearken unto the commandments of
the LORD, which he commanded their fathers by the hand of Moses.
Pss.
26 [2] Examine me, O YHVH, and prove me; try my reins and my heart.
Pss.
66 [10] For thou, O God, hast proved us: thou hast tried us, as silver is
tried.
-----------
Prove YHVH
Mal. 3 [8] Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But
ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.
[9] Ye are cursed with a
curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation.
[10] Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse,
that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now
herewith, saith YHVH of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of
heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to
receive it.
[11] And I will rebuke the devourer for
your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall
your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith
YHVH of hosts.
[12] And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a
delightsome land, saith YHVH of hosts.
-----------
Make full proof of your ministry or the ministry you attend
Gal.
6 [4] But let every
man (and woman) prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing
in himself alone, and not in another.

Tim. 4 [5] But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of
an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.
-----------
1
Thes. 5 [21] Prove all things; hold fast
that which is good.

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?
-----------
Rom.
12 [2] And be not conformed to this world:
but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that
ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

Paul instructs Titus:
Tit.3
[9] But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and
strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.
[10] A man that is an heretick
after the first and second admonition reject;
[11] Knowing that he that is such is subverted,
and sinneth, being condemned of himself.
Avoid
Foolish questions
Genealogies
Contentions
Strivings about the law (Torah)
They are unprofitable and vain.
-----------
Heretics, after the first and second admonition reject
Knowing that he (or she) that is such is subverted, and sinneth,

-----------
Paul instructs Timothy:
2
Tim. 2 [23] But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do
gender strifes.
[24] And the servant of the Lord must not strive;
but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient,
[25] In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure
will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;
[26] And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him
at his will.
Avoid
Foolish questions
Unlearned questions
They gender strifes
-----------
Things and people to avoid and shun
2
Tim. 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.
Profane babblings
Vain babblings
Shun
They will increase unto more
ungodliness
-----------
1
Tim. 6 [20] O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding
profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called: [21]
Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee.
Amen.
Profane babblings
Vain babblings
Oppositions of science falsely so
called
Avoid
-----------
Fables and endless genealogies
Neither give heed
1
Tim. 1 [3] As I besought thee to abide still at
Ephesus, when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some that they
teach no other doctrine,
[4] Neither
give heed to fables and endless
genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying
which is in faith: so do.
-----------
Any man brings - questions
and strifes of words
Withdraw thyself
1Tim. 6
[1] Let as many servants as are under the yoke count
their own masters worthy of all honour, that the name of God and his doctrine
be not blasphemed.
[2] And they that have believing masters,
let them not despise them, because they are brethren; but rather do them
service, because they are faithful and beloved, partakers of the benefit. These
things teach and exhort.
[3] If any man teach
otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our
Lord Yeshua the Messiah and to the doctrine which is according to godliness;
[4] He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting
about questions and strifes of words, whereof
cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,
[5] Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds,
and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.
[6] But godliness with contentment is
great gain.
[7] For we brought nothing into this
world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.
[8] And having food and raiment let us be therewith
content.
[9] But they that will be rich fall
into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which
drown men in destruction and perdition.
[10] For the love of money is the root of all evil:
which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced
themselves through with many sorrows.
[11] But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after
righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.
[12] Fight the
good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art
also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.
-----------
Other things to avoid
Rom.
16 17] Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and
offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.
[18] For they that are such serve not our Lord
Yeshua the Messiah, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches
deceive the hearts of the simple.
-----------
Prov.
4 [14] Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil
men.
[15] Avoid it, pass not by it, turn
from it, and pass away.
-----------
1
Cor. 7 [2] Nevertheless, to avoid fornication,
let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.
-----------
2
Thes. 3 [6] Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Yeshua
the Messiah, that ye withdraw yourselves from every
brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he
received of us.
[7] For yourselves know how ye ought to
follow us: for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you;
[8] Neither did we eat any man's bread for nought; but wrought with
labour and travail night and day, that we might not be chargeable to any of
you:
[9] Not because we have not power, but to make ourselves an ensample
unto you to follow us.
[10] For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any
would not work, neither should he eat.
[11] For we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly,
working not at all, but are busybodies.
[12] Now them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord Yeshua
the Messiah, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread.
[13] But ye, brethren, be not weary in well doing.
[14] And if any man obey not our word by this
epistle, note that man, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed.
[15] Yet count him not as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.

Strong Advice
Let's shed our old religions where we thought God was with
us - Sorry, Wrong
lord!!
Read slow what Yeshua says:
---
Few there be that find
it
Luke.13
[24] Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will
seek to enter in, and shall not be able.
------------
They say:
We have eaten and drunk in thy presence
thou hast taught in our
streets
They ask 3 questions:
in thy name have cast out devils?
have we not prophesied in thy name?
in thy name done
many wonderful works?
-------------------
They use these words
thy presence
thou
thy name
---------------
Sorry, Wrong lord!!
-------------------
***Yeshua says:
I know you not whence ye are
I know you not whence ye are
I never knew you
------------------------------------
Matt. 7
[21] Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven;
but he
that doeth the will of my Father which is in
heaven.
[22] Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name?
and in thy name
have cast out devils?
and in thy name done many
wonderful works?
[23] And then will I profess unto them, I never knew
you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Luke 13
[23] Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them,
[24] Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.
[25] When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the
door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and
say unto you, I know you not whence ye are:
[26] Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets.
[27] But he
shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye
workers of iniquity.
[28] There shall be weeping and gnashing
of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the
prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves
thrust out.
Sound familiar?
