Today, we use the Gregorian calendar from Pope Gregory; from the
1500’s,
The date is January 15, 2022
January Janus's month
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.
Januarius had 29 days, until Julius when it became 31 days long.
We are now in the 11th month of God called Sh’vat – 11th day
Zech.1 [7] Upon the four and twentieth day of the eleventh month, which is the month Sebat - Sh’vat

We read from law and the prophets every Sabbath like they did in
the Book of Acts.
Acts: 13 [15] … after the reading of the law and the prophets…
Today’s topic:
Why we attend this congregation
I hear again people telling me they hear other
people saying “don’t come to our congregation”.
These people never come and talk to me about
their concerns.
As a matter of fact, I never hear from them at
all.
Where do they attend that is better, more
scriptural?
This does not offend us; it is no consequence to
us.
To all the people from the past and future:
If you think I am saying something wrong or unscriptural,
please come and have enough God in you to ask me about that topic you disagree
with me about. Let’s reason the scriptures together.
I know some people don’t like us because we tell
them they must keep the Commandments of God, and not sin on purpose,
intentionally.
Anyway, let’s talk it over, don’t
be a talebearer.
רָכִיל
râ-kheel - a scandal monger (as travelling about): - slander, carry tales,
talebearer.
רָגַל
râgal: A primitive root; to walk along; to be a tale
bearer (that is, slander); to lead about: - backbite, search, slander, (e-)
spy (out)…
[1] Moreover the word of Yehovah
came unto me, saying,
[2] Now, you son of man, will you judge, will you
judge the bloody city? yea, you shall show her all her abominations.
[3] Then say you, Thus said the Lord Yehovah, The city sheds blood in the midst of it, that her
time may come, and makes
idols against herself to defile herself.[4] You are become guilty in your blood that you
have shed; and have defiled thyself in your idols which you have made; and you have
caused your days to draw near, and are come even unto your years: therefore
have I made you a reproach unto the heathen, and a mocking to all countries.
[5] Those that be near, and
those that be far from you, shall mock you, which are infamous and much vexed.
[6] Behold, the princes of Israel, everyone were in you
to their power to shed blood.
[7] In you have they set light by father and mother:
in the midst of you have they dealt by oppression with the stranger: in you
have they vexed the fatherless and the widow.
[8] You have
despised mine holy things, and have profaned my Sabbaths.\
[9] In you are men that carry tales to shed blood:
and in you they eat upon the mountains: in the midst of you they commit
lewdness.
[10] In you have they discovered their fathers'
nakedness: in you have they humbled her that was set apart for pollution.
[11] And one hath committed abomination with his neighbor’s
wife; and another hath lewdly defiled his daughter in law; and another in you
hath humbled his sister, his father's daughter.
[12] In you have they taken gifts to shed blood; you have
taken usury and increase, and you have greedily gained of your neighbors by
extortion, and have forgotten me, said the Lord Yehovah.
[13] Behold, therefore I have smitten mine hand at your
dishonest gain which you have
made, and at your blood which hath been in the midst of you.
[14] Can your heart endure, or can your hands be
strong, in the days that I shall deal with thee? I Yehovah
have spoken it, and will do it.
[15] And I will scatter thee among the heathen, and
disperse thee in the countries, and will consume thy filthiness out of thee.
[16] And you shalt take your
inheritance in thyself in the sight of the heathen, and you shalt
know that I am Yehovah.
[17] And the word of Yehovah
came unto me, saying,
[18] Son of man, the house of Israel is to me become
dross: all they are brass, and tin, and iron, and lead, in the midst of the
furnace; they are even the dross of silver.
[19] Therefore thus said the Lord Yehovah;
Because ye are all become dross, behold, therefore I
will gather you into the midst of Jerusalem.
[20] As they gather silver, and brass, and iron, and
lead, and tin, into the midst of the furnace, to blow the fire upon it, to melt
it; so will I gather you in mine anger and in my fury, and I will leave you
there, and melt you.
[21] Yea, I will gather you, and blow upon you in the
fire of my wrath, and ye shall be melted in the midst thereof.
[22] As silver is melted in the midst of the furnace,
so shall ye be melted in the midst thereof; and ye shall know that I the LORD
have poured out my fury upon you.
[23] And the word of Yehovah
came unto me, saying,
[24] Son of man, say unto her, You are the land that
is not cleansed, nor rained upon in the day of indignation.
[25] There is a conspiracy of her prophets in the
midst thereof, like a roaring lion ravening the prey; they have devoured souls;
they have taken the treasure and precious things; they have made her many
widows in the midst thereof.
[26] Her priests have violated my law, and have
profaned mine holy things: they have put no difference between the holy and
profane, neither have they showed difference between the unclean and the clean,
and have hid their eyes from my sabbaths,
and I am profaned among them.
[27] Her princes in the midst thereof are like wolves
ravening the prey, to shed blood, and to destroy souls, to get dishonest gain.
[28] And her prophets have daubed them with untempered morter, seeing vanity,
and divining lies unto them, saying, Thus said the
Lord Yehovah, when Yehovah hath
not spoken.
[29] The people of the land have used oppression, and
exercised robbery, and have vexed the poor and needy: yea, they have oppressed
the stranger wrongfully.
[30] And I sought for a man among them that should
make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should
not destroy it: but I found none.
[31] Therefore have I poured out mine indignation
upon them; I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath: their own way have I
recompensed upon their heads, said the Lord Yehovah.
Let’s start again the
list of possibilities for you to decide where to attend or not to attend.
(if time allows)
Catholic, Judaism, Protestantism
or any religion are all places you should not want to attend. This eliminates most churches and synagogues already.
Then we have the Messianic congregations
which are all different and don’t agree with each other.
Yeshua said:
Let’s start
Just ask yourself:
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)
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. This 4th
commandment eliminates most congregations.
Does the
church / synagogue say it is a “commandment” to light candles on the Sabbath? (very false – no such commandment in scripture)
Does the church / synagogue
welcome in the Sabbath Queen on the Sabbath? (very false)
Judaism has many other
false traditions, beware!
Does the congregation just have an hour
or more service then go to a restaurant or shopping?
Don't be tricked and
brought into a "messianic"
group that follows Judaism -
(hundreds of flavors today of messianic groups).
Do they say the law is gone?
Wrong!
They call the New Testament
the gospels and letters – wrong!
The “New Testament” is not the
gospels and letters read Jer. 31:31. & Heb.8:8
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 false 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 all
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)
Does the
church / synagogue know about the "7 Sabbaths" in the feasts of Yehovah? Or
do they even know about the feasts of Yehovah?
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) approximately three hundreds or more 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.
Does the
church / synagogue add or diminish from the Word of Yehovah?
Very evil
What is the title of the
leader of the church / synagogue? (Make sure it is not rabbi or messianic rabbi or Father)
Does the
church / synagogue know about the calendar of Yehovah
from Scripture?
Today we are in the 11th
month called Sh’vat / Sebat
– day 11
Does the
church / synagogue know about the food laws? Lev.11
Does the
church / synagogue know what is clean or unclean? Lev.11

church / synagogue dress, Holy or sexy?
Does the
church / synagogue have gift stores to buy on Sabbath? (very false)
Does the
church / synagogue "rent out"
their buildings to other religions, businesses, garage sales, daycare center?
Does the
church / synagogue follow the Two House Doctrine of today, many flavors now, not the Two Houses in the Scriptures? (very false)
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 are and will be brought back together with an
innumerable amount of nations, gentiles in the Body.
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)
Does the
church / synagogue take out the "o" in Lord like L_rd and God like G_d? (very false, made up in Judaism)
Does the
church / synagogue say men or women need to play "dress up Judaism"?
(Judaism garb) ridiculous…
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 prayer books, 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)
Does the
church / synagogue have Easter egg hunts? (false traditions) by the way, rabbits don't lay eggs
Does the
church / synagogue do this? In Judaism, Orthodox synagogues have a separate
section where the women sit.
This may be on an upper
floor balcony, or back room, or a side room, separated from the men's section
by a wall or curtain called a mechitzah.
Babylonian Talmud (Sukkoth) (very false)
51b,
52a
Does the
