One in Messiah Congregation
Part of the Congregation of Israel
All welcome
-------------
My ministry is to bring up topics in the Bible that have never been discussed, mentioned or deleted in your life that God wants you to know.
-----------------
Let’s Pray
-----------
Today we use the Gregorian calendar (from Pope Gregory, 1500's)
October 16, 2010
--------------
We restore God’s calendar
God has His own calendar that has been deleted from our lives
We are in the 8th month called Bul (pronounced Bool, "rain"), 7th day
1 Kgs.6 [38] And in the eleventh year, in the month Bul, which is the eighth month, was the house finished throughout all the parts thereof, and according to all the fashion of it. So was he seven years in building it.
(Part of October & November)
Judaism calls this month Cheshvan or Marheshvan
This is not in the Hebrew Scriptures.

school or home on the Jewish / Hebrew roots of your faith from the Scriptures,
not Judaism.

Topic: Back by popular demand, these questions:
People tell me all the time, all
churches, religious groups and synagogues say they are the only true right one
to attend, they say they all have the truth.
How many truths are there?
How can all the religions and faiths
be right when they are all different in theology and doctrine and are at odds
with each other?
Most say they all believe in Jesus
or some other god.
They say we are all headed to the
same place, just taking a different path to get there.
Is that right?
Are they all wrong?
Who should I believe?
Where should I attend?
Prove all things with every word
that proceeded out of the mouth of the God of Israel
----------------------------------------------
I have comprised a "short checklist" a few years ago of scriptural credentials you need to "check off" as you carefully choose what congregation you plan to attend and study with.
I always receive much opposition about my checklist with some that
don’t know scripture as they should, which is to be expected.
However, I say again, “Prove all things with the Word” that
proceeded out of the mouth of the God of Israel
First, I must establish my premise by quoting a few
scriptures that can’t be denied:
Only “One Way” to the Father, by
Yeshua the Messiah
Only “One Name” to believe on to
obtain “salvation and have eternal life” and that is Yeshua the Messiah
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”,
too many to list:
Chanukah (same time as Christmas) – on the 25th of Kislev are the days of Chanukah, which are eight days... 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 – all made up
Christmas was
banned until 1659 in America – nothing to do with Messiah
Easter, (bunnies lay eggs?)
Valentine’s Day
Saint Patrick Day
History of Thanksgiving (to the wrong God, not the God of
Israel)
On November
26, 1789, Present George Washington issued a general proclamation for a
special day of thanks
President Abraham Lincoln
proclaimed the
last Thursday in November, 1863 as "A day of thanksgiving and praise to our beneficent
Father."
Each year afterward for 75
years,
the President of the United States formally proclaimed that Thanksgiving Day
should be celebrated on the last Thursday of November.
But then the ugly face of
liberalism, humanism, and secularism began to show its destructive force on the
public scene.
In 1939 President Franklin D.
Roosevelt set Thanksgivng one week earlier. Reason?
He wanted to
help business by lengthening the shopping period before Christmas.
Congress finally ruled in
1941 that
the fourth Thursday of November would be observed as Thanksgiving Day and would
be a legal federal holiday.
The original made up reason,
as believed for those first Puritan settlers to celebrate a Thanksgiving Day
was to give thanks to their Protestant Almighty God for His goodness, grace and
bountiful provision. Today it has become just another government holiday for people to
have an excuse to get out of work, and to start their Christmas shopping
sooner.
Halloween – very pagan, was not celebrated in this country until 1845
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
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 - No Av in scripture
(Just anything you can't verify by the scriptures is made up)
------------
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)
------------
8 - Does the church / synagogue know about the calendar of YHVH?
------------
9 - Does the church / synagogue know about YHVH New Year?

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 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 2010).
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.

------------
38 - Does the church / synagogue say men or women need to play "dress up Jew"? (Judaism garb)
They say, “You need to wear a beard, tallit (magic fringe), tefillin, or yarmulke? (false traditions)
