Shabbat Shalom
Today is the Sabbath, the 7th day
Let’s pray
Today we are still using the Gregorian calendar from Pope Gregory; from the 1500’s
June 1, 2014
June -- Juno's month
Middle English
jun(e)
Old French juin
Old English junius
Latin Junius
"of Juno"
Latin Junius mensis
"month of Juno"
Junius had 30 days, until Numa
when it had 29 days, until Julius when it became 30 days long.
Juno is the
principle goddess of the Roman Pantheon. She is the goddess of marriage and the well-being
of women.
She is the wife and sister
of Jupiter. She is identified with the Greek goddess
Hera.
We acknowledge Yehovah’s calendar, the second month, Zif / Ziv,
day 23.
זִו Ziv {zeev'}
Meaning: Zif = "brightness"
1) name of the 2nd month of the
year, corresponding to Apr-May
1 Kings 6:1 And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth your after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth your of Solomon's reign over Israel, in the month Zif, which is the second month, that he began to build the house of Yehovah.

Today’s Topic:
Our Congregation
Why we stated this congregation in 2002
Here again is a “checklist” in 2024 of possibilities for you to decide where to attend or not attend.
Over the years, I have comprised many "checklists", scriptural credentials you might need to "check off" as you choose where you attend and to whom you should listen too.
If the church, congregation or synagogue you plan to attend follows this "checklist" of places not to attend, then you may be on the right path.
So, who is preaching the Truth?
Social media abounds
Today we need to include all YouTube religious videos, all social media and platforms sites, Apps on all types of phones, iPads, laptops, Desktops, any podcasts etc…
Some biggies with billions of subscribers:
YouTube, Face
Book, Twitter (called X today),
Skype, Instagram, Pinterest,
LinkedIn, Reddit , Meetup,
telegram, triller,
Yobo,
23 Snaps, Vimeo,
, Messenger, MeWe,
Google+, Snapchat, TikTok, WhatsApp, just to name a few.
There are just too many websites with Social Media Sites & Apps to list.
I remember reading, as one site
states: 7 Years ago there was a list of “250 social media apps” back
in October 2018 and
keeps growing. Updated periodically, the list is available in 32 languages
Be careful on who and what you listen too.
Apostle Paul, in his second letter to the Corinthians and his letter to the Galatians, indicates at his time, there were (false) other gospels, (false) other spirits and (false) another Yeshua.
2 Cor. 11 [4] For if he that
cometh preaches another 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…
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.
Messiah Yeshua says there will be (false) other Messiahs / Christs - (false) other prophets
Matt. 24 [24] For there shall arise false Messiahs / Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
Apostle Peter indicates in his letter, that there were (false) other prophets and there will be (false) other teachers.
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.
Apostle John indicates that at the end of time, there will the dragon, the beast, / Anti-Messiah / Christ and the false prophet
Again - "(false) other or another…"
Rev. 16 [13] And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.
Rev. 19 [20] And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.
Rev. 20 [10] And the devil that deceived them was cast into
the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and
shall be tormented day and night forever and ever.
Here is some great advice:
1Tim.6 [20]
O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science
falsely so called…
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.
[23] But foolish and unlearned questions avoid,
knowing that they do gender strifes.
Tit.3 [9] But avoid foolish
questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for
they are unprofitable and vain.
So why are we here in this congregation today?
Let’s start the list of possibilities for
you to decide.
1 - 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)
2 - A - 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
places.
Do they say the law is gone, we read the “New Testament” (meaning the gospels and letters)
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 today of messianic groups).
3
- 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 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 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)
4 - Does the church / synagogue know about the "7 Sabbaths" in the feasts of Yehovah?
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 are many 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 Yehovah?
What is the title of the leader of the church / synagogue? (Make sure it is not rabbi or messianic rabbi or Father)

9 - Does the church / synagogue know about Yehovah New Year?
10 - Does the church / synagogue know about the food laws?

13 - Does the church / synagogue have gift stores or playing sports in their buildings? (very false)
14 - Does the church / synagogue "rent out" their buildings to other religions, businesses, garage sales, daycare center?
15 - Does the church / synagogue follow the Two House Doctrine of today, 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).
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 sits upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.

31 - Does the church / synagogue have statues and pictures of Yeshua or the Father? (very bad)
32 - Does the church / synagogue have problems with people with divorce (for any reason) or porn? (very bad)
33 - Does the church / synagogue light candles for the dead? (very false)
34 - Does the church / synagogue have a confessional box to tell your sins to a man? (very false)
35 - Does the church / synagogue have a doctrine where they forbid certain people to marry and command to abstain from meats on certain days?
36 - Does the church / synagogue have the "sacred name doctrine"? They say you can't say God, Lord, glory, holy, amen, Yeshua, etc... (very false) Don't be tricked and brought into a "name game argument". (Sacred Name Cult - late 1930's started)
37 - Does the church / synagogue take out the "o" in Lord like L_rd and God like G_d? (very false, made up in Judaism)
38 - Does the church / synagogue say men or women need to play "dress up Judaism"? (Judaism garb). 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 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)
39 - Does the church / synagogue have Easter egg hunts? (false traditions) by the way, rabbits don't lay eggs
40 - Does the church / synagogue do this? In Judaism, Orthodox synagogues have a separate section where the women sit.

Babylonian Talmud (Sukkoth)
51b, 52a
