Today we use the Gregorian calendar from Pope Gregory, from the 1500’s
Today is August 4th, 2012
Sad to say:
August—Augustus
Caesar’s month
Latin Augustus “Augustus”
Latin Augustus mensis “month of Augustus”
Latin sextilis mensis “sixth month”
Sextilis had 30 days, until Numa when
it had 29 days, until Julius when it became 31 days long.
Augustus Caesar clarified and completed
the calendar reform of Julius Caesar. In the process, he also renamed this
month after himself.
------------------
Yehovah has His own
calendar
We are now in the 5th month 15th day of God. This month has no
name in scripture.
(Part of July / August 2012)
------------
Judaism
calls this month Ab / Av
which is made up, added to the word which we are
commanded not to do.

Today’s Topic:
Charity
ἀγάπη - agapē - brotherly
love, affection, good will, love, benevolence
Tzedakah is the Hebrew word for the acts of charity in English:
Giving
aid, assistance and money to the poor and needy or to other worthy causes
Simply put, “to love your neighbor
as yourself” and as Messiah loves you.
The word "tzedakah"
is derived from the Hebrew root Tzadei-Dalet-Qof,
meaning righteousness, justice or fairness, an act of justice and
righteousness, the performance of a duty.
öã÷ tsâdaq - to be
just, be righteous - (in conduct and character) to do or bring justice (in Torah law), to
declare righteousness
öã÷ä (Aramaic) Tzedakah - right doing, righteousness,
(Chaldee); corresponding to the
above meaning; beneficence: righteousness. Going good

Charity
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 loves God, the same is
known of him.
-----------
When we read this
chapter below, replace the word Charity with
the word Messiah and then replace the word with your name.
Do you match up?
[1] Though I speak with the tongues of men and
of angels, and have not charity, (Messiah) I am
become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
[2] And though I have the gift of prophecy, and
understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so
that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, (Messiah), I am
nothing.
[3] And though I bestow all my goods to feed the
poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, (Messiah), it
profiteth me nothing.
[4] Charity (Messiah), suffereth
long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not
puffed up,
[5] Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not
her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
[6] Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in
the truth;
[7] Beareth all things, believeth all things,
hopeth all things, endureth all things.
[8] Charity (Messiah), never
faileth:
but whether there be prophecies, they shall
fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge,
it shall vanish away.
[9] For we know in part, and we prophesy in
part.
[10] But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall
be done away.
[11] When I was a child, I spake as a child, I
understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put
away childish things.
[12] For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know
in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
[13] And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these
three; but the greatest of these is charity. (Messiah)
---------------------
1Cor.14 [1] Follow after charity,
and desire
spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy.
1Cor.16 [13]
Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong. [14] Let all your things be done with charity.
Col.3[12]
Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies,
kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;
[13] Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a
quarrel against any: even as Messiah forgave you, so also do ye. [14] And above
all these things put on charity, which is the bond
of perfectness.
[15] And let the peace of God rule in your
hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.
[16] Let the word of Messiah dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and
admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with
grace in your hearts to the Lord.
[17] And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Yeshua,
giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
-------------
1Thes.3 [6]
But now when Timotheus came from you unto us, and brought us good tidings of
your faith and charity, and that ye have
good remembrance of us always, desiring greatly to see us, as we also to see
you: [7] Therefore, brethren, we were comforted over you in all
our affliction and distress by your faith:
[8] For now we live, if ye stand fast in the Lord.
[3] We are bound to thank God always
for you, brethren, as it is meet, because that your faith groweth exceedingly,
and the charity of every one of you all toward each
other aboundeth;
[4] So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of
God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that
ye endure:
[5] Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that ye may be
counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer:
[6] Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them
that trouble you;
[7] And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Yeshua shall be
revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,[8] In flaming fire taking
vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Yeshua
the Messiah:
[9] Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the
Lord, and from the glory of his power;
[10] When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all
them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.
[11] Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy
of this calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work
of faith with power:
[12] That the name of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah may be glorified in you, and
ye in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Yeshua the Messiah.
[1] Paul, an apostle of Yeshua
the Messiah by the commandment of God our Saviour, and Lord Yeshua the Messiah,
which is our hope;
[2] Unto Timothy, my own son in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God
our Father and Yeshua the Messiah our Lord.
[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.
[5] Now the end
of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good
conscience, and of faith unfeigned:
End = Greek,
telos = Goal
[6] From which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling;
[7] Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say,
nor whereof they affirm.
[12] Let no man despise thy youth; but
be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.
[22] Flee also youthful lusts: but
follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace,
with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
[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.
[10] But thou hast fully known my
doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience, [11] Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto
me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of
them all the Lord delivered me.
[12] Yea, and all that will live godly in Messiah Yeshua
shall suffer persecution
[1] But speak thou the things which become sound
doctrine:
[2] That the aged men be sober, grave,
temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in
patience.
[3] The aged women likewise, that they be in
behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine,
teachers of good things;
[4] That they may teach the young women to be
sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,
[5] To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home,
good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.
[6] Young men likewise exhort to be sober
minded.
[7] In all things shewing thyself a pattern of
good works: in doctrine shewing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity,
[8] Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that
he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of
you.
[9] Exhort servants to be obedient unto their
own masters, and to please them well in all things; not answering again;
[10] Not purloining, but shewing all good
fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.
[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 the 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.
---------------------
[1] Forasmuch then as Messiah
hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind:
for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin;
[2] That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the
lusts of men, but to the will of God.
[3] For the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of
the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine,
revellings, banquetings, and abominable idolatries:
[4] Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them to the same excess
of riot, speaking evil of you:
[5] Who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the quick and the
dead.
[6] For for this cause was the gospel preached also to them that are dead, that
they might be judged according to men in the flesh, but live according to God
in the spirit.
[7] But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto
prayer.
[8] And above all things have fervent charity among
yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.
[9] Use hospitality one to another without grudging.
1Pet.5 [14]
Greet ye one another with a kiss of charity. Peace be with you all that are in Messiah
Yeshua. Amen.
[1] Simon Peter, a
servant and an apostle of Yeshua the Messiah, to them that have obtained like
precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Yeshua
the Messiah:
[2] Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of
Yeshua our Lord,[3] According as his divine power hath given unto us all things
that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath
called us to glory and virtue:
[4] Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by
these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption
that is in the world through lust.
[5] And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to
virtue knowledge;
[6] And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience
godliness;
[7] And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.
[8] For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall
neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Yeshua the
Messiah.
[9] But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and
hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.
[10] Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and
election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:
[11] For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the
everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Yeshua the Messiah.
[5] Beloved, thou doest
faithfully whatsoever thou doest to the brethren, and to strangers;
[6] Which have borne witness of thy charity before
the church: whom if thou bring forward on their journey after a godly
sort, thou shalt do well:
[7] Because that for his name's sake they went forth, taking nothing of the
Gentiles.
[1] Jude, the servant of Yeshua the Messiah, and
brother of James, to them that are sanctified by God the Father, and preserved
in Yeshua the 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 the 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 the 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 the 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.
