----------

Made up feast today - Epiphany or little christmas - they say when the "three Kings " from the East come to worship Jesus - January 6 - oh well... no "three" wise men or kings in scriptures, Matt. 2

----------

Today's topic: Some "basic" commandments, judgments and protocols of a believer

---------

The adding and diminishing from the Word of God over thousands of years continues to be the "root" cause all the problems we face today.

-----------------------

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.

לֹא תֹסִפוּ, עַל־הַדָּבָר אֲשֶׁר אָנֹכִי מְצַוֶּה אֶתְכֶם, וְלֹא תִגְרְעוּ, מִמֶּנּוּ־־לִשְׁמֹר, אֶת־מִצְוֹת יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵיכֶם, אֲשֶׁר אָנֹכִי, מְצַוֶּה אֶתְכֶם

Deut.12[ 32] What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it.

אֵת כָּל־הַדָּבָר, אֲשֶׁר אָנֹכִי מְצַוֶּה אֶתְכֶם־־אֹתוֹ תִשְׁמְרוּ, לַעֲשׂוֹת: לֹא־תֹסֵף עָלָיו, וְלֹא תִגְרַע מִמֶּנּוּ

Prov.30 [6] Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.

----------------------

In the last few weeks I spoke about , God's laws, calendar, feasts, etc.

All things of God have changed now and are replaced by most people of the earth

Col. 2:16 [16] Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:[17] Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.

God told us about clean and unclean foods - Now people eat and drink anything.

Holydays and Feasts of the Lord are replaced by all the pagan feasts and traditions of the world.

God's calendar is replaced by Pope Greg's calendar. names of the days of the week and months

New moon is not talked about any more except in wiccan pagan circles.

God's Sabbath, the 7th day is replaced by the 1st day of the week.

The "shadows of things to comes" from Messiah's body are obscured and forgotten by most people on the earth.

-------

Jer.10[ 2] Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen , and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them. [3 ] For the customs of the people are vain : for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe. [ 4] They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.

Jer.6[16] Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths , where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein . ( like most of the world today )

Jer.18[ 15] Because my people hath forgotten me, they have burned incense to vanity, and they have caused them to stumble in their ways from the ancient paths, to walk in paths , in a way not cast up;[16 ] To make their land desolate, and a perpetual hissing; every one that passeth thereby shall be astonished, and wag his head.

--------------------

The mystery of iniquity

Dan.7[ 25] And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws : and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.

2Thes.2 [ 7] For the mystery of iniquity doth already work : only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.

------------

787 BC - Even thou [ 1] The words of Amos, who was among the herdman of Tekoa, which he saw concerning Israel in the days of Uzziah king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel, two years before the earthquake.

still true today

Amos.8[ 11] Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD , that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD:[ 12] And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the LORD, and shall not find it.

Question: What are you hearing today from pastors, rabbis, politicians and other religions?

Answer: Don't offend, agree to disagree, just get along ( even if they want to kill you ).

Motivational professional speakers with an agenda are running the show.

There is " No more defining" of how to serve or please the Lord by the scriptures. ( other books, CDs or DVDs are used )

Ever hear about these topics any more?

Only One God ( of Israel )

keep the commandments

What is sin?

fear of the Lord

be holy

be righteous

be separate

hell

the lake of fire

heaven

eternity

you will give account of yourself

judgment

help convert sinners to God

(very rarely)

You might offend some one ( they say )

I say the Word of God without judgment is a LIE!

Isa.30[ 10] Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits :

Jer.27[ 15] For I have not sent them, saith the LORD, yet they prophesy a lie in my name; that I might drive you out, and that ye might perish, ye, and the prophets that prophesy unto you.

---------------

Jer.18[ 18] Then said they, Come, and let us devise devices against Jeremiah; for the law shall not perish from the priest, nor counsel from the wise, nor the word from the prophet. Come, and let us smite him with the tongue, and let us not give heed to any of his words.

Ezek.7[ 26] Mischief shall come upon mischief, and rumour shall be upon rumour; then shall they seek a vision of the prophet; but the law shall perish from the priest, and counsel from the ancients.

Deut.8

[11] Beware that thou forget not the LORD thy God, in not keeping his commandments, and his judgments, and his statutes, which I command thee this day:
[12] Lest when thou hast eaten and art full, and hast built goodly houses, and dwelt therein;
[
13] And when thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy gold is multiplied, and all that thou hast is multiplied;
[
14] Then thine heart be lifted up, and thou forget the LORD thy God, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage;
[
15] Who led thee through that great and terrible wilderness, wherein were fiery serpents, and scorpions, and drought, where there was no water; who brought thee forth water out of the rock of flint;
[
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;
[
17] And thou say in thine heart, My power and the might of mine hand hath gotten me this wealth.
[
18] But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.
[
19] And it shall be, if thou do at all forget the LORD thy God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I testify against you this day that ye shall surely perish.
[
20] As the nations which the LORD destroyeth before your face, so shall ye perish; because ye would not be obedient unto the voice of the LORD your God.

Rom.2[12] For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law;

[13] (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.

 

Isa.58

[1] Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins.
[2] Yet they seek me daily, and delight to know my ways, as a nation that did righteousness, and forsook not the ordinance of their God: they ask of me the ordinances of justice; they take delight in approaching to God.

[3] Wherefore have we fasted, say they, and thou seest not? wherefore have we afflicted our soul, and thou takest no knowledge? Behold, in the day of your fast ye find pleasure, and exact all your labours.
[
4] Behold, ye fast for strife and debate, and to smite with the fist of wickedness: ye shall not fast as ye do this day, to make your voice to be heard on high.
[
5] Is it such a fast that I have chosen? a day for a man to afflict his soul? is it to bow down his head as a bulrush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him? wilt thou call this a fast, and an acceptable day to the LORD?

the fast that I have chosen
[6] Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?
[
7] Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh?
[
8] Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the LORD shall be thy rereward.
[
9] Then shalt thou call, and the LORD shall answer; thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I am. If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking vanity;
[
10] And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noonday:
[
11] And the LORD shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.
[
12] And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.

Sabbath
[13] If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the LORD, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words:
[14] Then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.

Ye are gods

John.10:[ 30] I and my Father are one.
[31] Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.
[
32] Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?
[
33] The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.
[34] Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law ( Torah ), I said, Ye are gods?

[35] If he called them gods , unto whom the word of God came , and the scripture cannot be broken;
[36] Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest;
because I said, I am the Son of God?
[37] If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.
[
38] But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him.

John.1[ 1] In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God

[14] And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us , (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

-------------------------

Pss.82: [1] God standeth in the congregation of the mighty אל

He judgeth among the gods אֱלֹהִים ( judges )

[2] How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah.
[3] Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy.
[4] Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked.
[5] They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.
[6] I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.

[7] But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.
[
8] Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all nations.

Gen.3[ 5] For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as god s, knowing good and evil.

H410 אל - el :as adjective mighty; especially the Almighty (but used also of any deity): - God (god), goodly - great, idol, might (-y one), power, strong.

[28] Thou shalt not revile the gods, nor curse the ruler of thy people.

אֱלֹהִים, לֹא תְקַלֵּל; וְנָשִׂיא בְעַמְּךָ, לֹא תָאֹר

Judge "Righteous" Judgment

Lev.19 [15] Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment: thou shalt not respect the person of the poor, nor honour the person of the mighty: but in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbour.

John.7[ 24] Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.

Jas.4[11] Speak not evil one of another, brethren.

He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law:

but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge.

[12] There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another?

Matt.7[ 1] Judge not, that ye be not judged.

[2] For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.

[3] And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

[4] Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?

[5] Thou hypocrite , first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

-------------------

Acts.23[ 5] Then said Paul, I wist not, brethren, that he was the high priest: for it is written, Thou shalt not speak evil of the ruler of thy people .

1Tim.5[ 1] Rebuke not an elder, but intreat him as a father; and the younger men as brethren;

1Tim.5[ 19] Against an elder receive not an accusation, but before two or three witnesses.

Ecclesiastes 10:[20] Curse not the king, no not in thy thought; and curse not the rich in thy bedchamber : for a bird of the air shall carry the voice, and that which hath wings shall tell the matter.

1Tim.2 [12] But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.

------------------

The power of the tongue

Prov.18[ 21] Death and life are in the power of the tongue : and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.

Col.4[ 6] Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.

salt - preserves, heals and add flavor ( character )

remember the covenant of salt ?

Num.18[ 19] All the heave offerings of the holy things, which the children of Israel offer unto the LORD, have I given thee, and thy sons and thy daughters with thee, by a statute for ever: it is a covenant of salt for ever before the LORD unto thee and to thy seed with thee.

2Chr.13[ 5] Ought ye not to know that the LORD God of Israel gave the kingdom over Israel to David for ever, even to him and to his sons by a covenant of salt ?

----------------------------

The talebearer carries slander up and down the camp

Lev.19[ 16] Thou shalt not go up and down as a talebearer among thy people: neither shalt thou stand against the blood of thy neighbour: I am the LORD.

Prov.11[ 13] A talebearer revealeth secrets: but he that is of a faithful spirit concealeth the matter.

Prov.18[ 8] The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.

Prov.20[ 19] He that goeth about as a talebearer revealeth secrets: therefore meddle not with him that flattereth with his lips.

Prov.26[ 20] Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out: so where there is no talebearer, the strife ceaseth.

[22] The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.

Prov.16[ 28] A froward man soweth strife: and a whisperer separateth chief friends.

Rom.1[ 30] Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

--------

Prov.17[ 9] He that covereth a transgression seeketh love; but he that repeateth a matter separateth very friends.

Prov.28[ 13] He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.

---------------

We are to be Servants of all

Phil.2[ 3] Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.

[4] Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.
[5] Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

Mark.10[ 44] And whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be servant of all .

1Cor.9 [19] For though I be free from all men, yet have I made myself servant unto all,

that I might gain the more.

[20] And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews;

to them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law;

[21] To them that are without law, as without law, (being not without law to God, but under the law to Christ,) that I might gain them that are without law.

[22] To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak:

I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some.

[23] And this I do for the gospel's sake, that I might be partaker thereof with you.

[24] Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.
[
25] And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.
[
26] I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air:
[
27] But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.

-----------------------------

John.5 [22] For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son :

Ye have heard that it hath been said :

Exod.21 [24] Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, [25] Burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.

Lev.24 [20] Breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth: as he hath caused a blemish in a man, so shall it be done to him again.

Deut.19 [21] And thine eye shall not pity; but life shall go for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.

[38] Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:[39 ] But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
[
40] And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloke also.
[
41] And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.
[
42] Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.

 

back to Matt.5 [43 ] Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.

Lev.19[ 18] Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am the LORD.

back to Matt. 5 - [ 44] But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
[
45] That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
[
46] For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?
[
47] And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?
[48] Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

Deut.18[ 13] Thou shalt be perfect with the LORD thy God.

------------------

How many witnesses are needed in a matter?

Deut.17[ 6] At the mouth of two witnesses, or three witnesses, shall he that is worthy of death be put to death; but at the mouth of one witness he shall not be put to death.

[7] The hands of the witnesses shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterward the hands of all the people. So thou shalt put the evil away from among you.

[8] If there arise a matter too hard for thee in judgment, between blood and blood, between plea and plea, and between stroke and stroke, being matters of controversy within thy gates: then shalt thou arise, and get thee up into the place which the LORD thy God shall choose;
[9] And thou shalt come unto the priests the Levites , and unto the judge that shall be in those days , and inquire; and they shall shew thee the sentence of judgment:
[
10] And thou shalt do according to the sentence, which they of that place which the LORD shall choose shall shew thee; and thou shalt observe to do according to all that they inform thee:
[
11] According to the sentence of the law which they shall teach thee, and according to the judgment which they shall tell thee, thou shalt do: thou shalt not decline from the sentence which they shall shew thee, to the right hand, nor to the left.

Matt.18 [ 15] Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.

[16] But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.

[17] And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church:

but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican.

-------------

Be careful, your liberty may be a stumblingblock to others

1Cor.8

[1] Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth.
[
2] And if any man think that he knoweth anything, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know.
[
3] But if any man love God, the same is known of him.
[
4] As concerning therefore the eating of those things that are offered in sacrifice unto idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is none other God but one.

[5] For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,)

[6] But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.

[7] Howbeit there is not in every man that knowledge: for some with conscience of the idol unto this hour eat it as a thing offered unto an idol; and their conscience being weak is defiled.

[8] But meat commendeth us not to God: for neither, if we eat, are we the better; neither, if we eat not, are we the worse.

[9] But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to them that are weak.

[10] For if any man see thee which hast knowledge sit at meat in the idol's temple, shall not the conscience of him which is weak be emboldened to eat those things which are offered to idols;

[11] And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died?

[12] But when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ. ;

Shalom

2Tim.4[ 2] Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.
