Today, we sadly use the Gregorian calendar from Pope Gregory; from
the 1500’s,
The date is July 16, 2022 (in the 21
Century)
July -- Julius Caesar's month
Middle
English Julie
Latin Julius "Julius"
Latin Julius mensis "month of Julius"
Latin quintilis mensis "fifth
month"
Quintilis (and
later Julius) has always had 31 days.
Julius Caesar reformed the Roman calendar (hence the Julian
calendar) in 46 BC. In the process, he renamed this month after himself.

The God of Israel has His own Calendar:
We are
now in the 4th month of God which has no scriptural
name, day 16
Today’s Topic:
Some questions with answers
Let’s
start:
Acts 2 - Pentecost – Feast of Weeks / Feast of Harvest
Question - Who was there?
Answer
- Jews from every nation, Acts 2, verse 5
Question - Why were they there?
Answer
-To attend one of the feasts of Yehovah,
Feast of Weeks - Lev. 23
Lev.23
[1] And Yehovah spoke unto
Moses, saying,[2] Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, Concerning the feasts of Yehovah, which ye
shall proclaim to be holy
convocations, even these are My feasts.
Deut.16
[16] Three times in
a year shall all thy males appear before Yehovah thy God in the place which he shall
choose; in the feast
of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles: and they
shall not appear before Yehovah empty: [17]
Every man shall give as he is able,
according to the blessing of Yehovah thy God which he hath given you.
Here is Acts:
Acts 2
[1] And when the day
of Pentecost/ Feast of Weeks was fully
come, they were all with one
accord in one place.
[2] And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty
wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
[3] And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it
sat upon each of them.[4] And they
were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as
the Spirit gave them utterance.
[5] And there were dwelling at
Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out
of every nation under heaven.
Gentiles received the Baptism in Acts 10
Let’s examine these verses below:
2 Cor. 11
[4]
For if he that comes preaches another
/other Jesus, whom we
have not preached, or if you receive another
/other spirit, which you
have not received, or another/other
gospel, which you
have not accepted, you might well bear with him. (Go along with them and their doctrine)
To all Protestants:
You
selected the church that you attend.
You say you feel the spirit there.
You say you feel Jesus there.
You enjoy their gospel they preach.
You say your church is
the right one.
You say every other
church is wrong.
What about all the other
Protestant churches that you don’t attend?
They say they feel the spirit there.
They say they feel Jesus there.
They say they have the
right gospel that they preach
Sounds to me like 2 Cor.11 [4] above
Another /other Jesus, another /other spirit, another/other gospel
I know
what you say about other churches:
You don’t
believe their gospel.
You don’t
attend their church services.
You could
cite many things wrong with their gospel.
But each of them say they have Jesus,
feel the spirit, and have the correct gospel.
Sounds to me like 2 Cor.11 [4] Another /other Jesus, another /other spirit, another/other gospel
The corrupt “mother
church” is the Catholic Church L
Here is a list of her children:
A short list of
Protestant churches
All these churches were created after
the 1500s.
Assemblies of God
Various
Non-denominational, Independent, loosely affiliated and free Pentecostal
churches
Kimbanguist Church
Church of God in Christ
The Apostolic Church
The Pentecostal Mission
Christ Apostolic Church
Christian Congregation of Brazil
Zion Christian Church
Church of the Lord Aladura
International Church of the Foursquare Gospel
Universal Church of the Kingdom of God
Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada
Christian Outreach Centre
Anglican
Baptists (there are
MANY branches)
Brethren
Christian & Missionary Alliance
Episcopal
Evangelical Free
Lutheran
Mennonite
Methodist
Presbyterians (there are many branches)
Quaker
Church Of Christ(there are many branches)
Wesleyan
Non-Denominational churches(there are many branches)
Orthodox Presbyterian
Reformed Baptists
Reformed Presbyterian
Sovereign Grace Baptists
Southern Baptists
7th day Adventists – Ellen White
And many more…
For a moment, just
think of all the different Jesus(s)
spirits,
and gospels
above
None of these churches
were around during the time of Messiah Yeshua / Jesus
I know you
understand all the churched I listed above do not agree with each other’s
doctrines. They are not together in one body.
Amazing, they all still say
they
feel Jesus, feel the Spirit, have the Gospel
Protestants was
supposed to be protesting the Catholic Church.
A dictionary
definition: Protestant : a
member or follower of any of the Western Christian churches that are separate from
the Roman Catholic Church and follow
the principles of the Reformation, including the Baptist, Presbyterian, and
Lutheran churches…
However, Protestants still follow the Roman Catholic Church with all their
false holidays and false day of worship, Sunday.
They all have a
different Jesus,
spirit,
and gospel, as
Apostle Paul put it
I thought there
was just “one body” of Christ / Messiah
Rom.12 [4] For as we have many members in one body,
and all members have not the same office:[5] So we, being
many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of
another.
1 Cor. 10 [17] For we being many
are one bread, and one body: for we are all partakers of that one
bread.
1 Cor. 12[12] For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all
the members of that one body, being many, are one body:
so also is Christ.[13] For by one Spirit are we
all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether
we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.
[20] But now are they many members, yet but one
body.
The list of Protestant churches above show there are many bodies
and not one church knows what the other church is doing.
All
different Jesus(s),
spirits,
gospels
Question - Who is right?
Answer
– None of them
They still are, unknowingly following the Catholic Church.
Please Read http://OneinMessiah.net/confess.htm
Roman Catholic and Protestant Confessions about Sunday
How can we
determine who is correct scripturally?
Our rule
of thumb, follow the Holy
Scriptures.
We read the English KJV version of the Bible, which has been verified
to be the most accurate English version.
Let’s start with the 10
Commandments in Exod. 20, Deut. 5
Question - Which Protestant church keeps the 10 Commandments?
Answer - none
Question - Which one of these Protestant churches keep the feasts of
God?
Answer - none
Question - Which one keeps the seven Sabbaths in the holy days and
the feasts of God?
Answer – none
Question - which church knows what to eat, as far as clean and
unclean foods?
Answer - none
Question - what version of the Bible are they reading?
Answer – They use just about any corrupt version
Above, I went over the
Feasts of Yehovah
but the Protestants and Catholics still follow pagan holidays and observances, here are a few:
Fake Gregorian
New Year in January
Christmas –
false embellishments over the years… Watch Christmas unwrapped on YouTube.
History Channel
Chanukah
(same time as Christmas)
in 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
Question -
What is wrong with all these?
Answer - Really
can't verify these by the scriptures
Again, First, the 10 Commandments in the Law
I want to read this because I can’t get some people to read it for
themselves.
Exod.20
[1] And God spoke all these words,
saying,
1
[2] I am Yehovah your God,
which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
[3] Thou shall have no other gods before me.
2
[4] Thou shall not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any
thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth
beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
[5] Thou shall not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I Yehovah
your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the
children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
[6] And showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my
commandments.
3
[7] You
shall not take the name of Yehovah your God in
vain; for Yehovah
will not hold him guiltless that takes his name in vain.
4
[8] Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
[9] Six days shall you labor, and do all your work:
[10] But the seventh day is the Sabbath of Yehovah
your God: in it you shall not do any work, you, nor your son, nor your
daughter, your manservant, nor your maidservant, nor your cattle, nor your
stranger that is within your gates:
[11] For in six days Yehovah made heaven
and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day:
wherefore Yehovah
blessed the Sabbath day, and hallowed it.
5
[12] Honor your father and your mother: that your days may be long upon
the land which Yehovah your God gives thee.
6
[13] You
shall not kill.
7
[14] You
shall not commit adultery.
8
[15] You
shall not steal.
9
[16] You
shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
10
[17] You
shall not covet your neighbor’s house, you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife,
nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing
that is your neighbor’s.
2 more questions with
answers - Col.2:14 and Acts
15:20, 29
Now the letters which are from Torah
Saul /Paul, a Jewish man
Col.2 [14] Blotting out
the handwriting of
ordinances that was
against us, which was contrary to us,
and took it out of the way, nailing it
to his cross;
Last week I
explained the Law and some of its parts:
Physical
offerings for sin are over now and pointed to offering
of the body of Yeshua
the Messiah once for all.
Heb.10 [10] By the which will we are sanctified (made Holy) through the offering of the body of Yeshua the Messiah once for all.
Parts of the
Law:
The service
of the Levites
Sacrifice
for sin
The levities,
their priesthood, the service of each family, all
physical sacrifices, temple services and all the activities that go with them:
All the
physical services: The incense, perfumes - service of the
ministry, and the service of the burden in the tabernacle of the
congregation, service of the sanctuary, the service of the
ministry, a service of gift, the cloths of service (special
garments) for all instruments of all manner of service; silver also
for all instruments of silver by weight, for all instruments of every
kind of service…etc
All this
above has served it coarse, and is completed, it fulfilled its purpose.
These parts
of the law are applicable for today:
Food laws
Clean and
unclean laws
Commandments,
all Sabbaths, feasts
Statutes
Judgments
- Exod.21 [1] now these
are the judgments…
Testimonies
Ordinance
Question -
So which part of the law was against us in Col.2 [14]?
Answer - the punishment for our sins from the Judgments was
against us
Rev.1 [5] And from Yeshua
the Messiah who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead,
and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto
him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own
blood…
Next question in Acts 15:20, 29 - Idols, Blood, Strangle, fornication
Acts 15 [19]
Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them, which from among the
Gentiles are turned to God:
[20] But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from
fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood.
[21] For
Moses of old time hath in every
city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every Sabbath day.
In verse
21 - You can see here, there is
a Sabbath day to come and learn torah
[29] That you abstain from
meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from
fornication: from which
if you keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well.
Idols,
Blood, Strangle – There are many verses
Back to
Torah:
Lev.19 [4] Turn you
not unto idols, nor make to yourselves molten gods: I am Yehovah
your God.
Lev.7 [26] Moreover
ye shall eat no manner of blood, whether it be of fowl or of beast, in any
of your dwellings.
Lev.17 [14] For it is the life of all flesh; the blood of it
is for the life thereof: therefore I said unto the children of Israel, You shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh: for the life of all flesh is the blood
thereof: whosoever eats it shall be cut off.
Lev.22 [8] That which dies
of itself, or is torn with
beasts, he shall not eat to defile himself therewith: I am Yehovah.
Fornication
- many verses, here is the
definition:
זָנָה zanah {za-nah'}
Meaning: 1) to commit fornication, be a harlot, play the
harlot 1a) (Qal) 1a1) to
be a harlot, act as a harlot, commit fornication 1a2) to commit adultery 1a3)
to be a cult prostitute 1a4) to be unfaithful (to God) (fig.) 1b) (Pual) to play the harlot 1c) (Hiphil) 1c1) to cause to
commit adultery 1c2) to force into prostitution 1c3) to commit fornication
Origin: a primitive root [highly-fed and therefore wanton]
Usage: AV - ...harlot 36, go a whoring 19, whoredom 15, whore 11, commit fornication
3, whorish 3, harlot + 0802 2, commit 1, continually 1, great 1, whore's + 0802
1; 93
times - all evil
Dictionary – fornication sexual
relations between people not married to each other:
to prostitute one's
body to the lust of another 2) to give one's self to unlawful sexual
intercourse 2a) to commit fornication 3- to be given to idolatry, to worship
idols 3a) to permit one's self to be drawn away by another into idolatry -
Which is all NOT of God, but evil.
In conclusion for today:
The Word of God - Torah, Prophets and Writings (psalms)
Ta Na Kh is an acronym for:
T =
Torah (law, teachings) - first 5 books of Moses
N = Navi' eem or
prophets (pl. sounds like - Na vi eem)
K = Ke'tuvim or
writings (psalms etc.)
Paul said - I am a
Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee
Acts.23 [6] But when Paul perceived
that the one part were Sadducees, and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, Men and
brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee: of the
hope and resurrection of the dead I am called in question.
He would
never add or diminish for the Words of God and make new commandments or laws in
his lettersx.
If you read
something in the letters you think is changing the Tanach, you or your doctrine is explaining it
wrong.
Read the letters with a Torah mindset.
I believe
this is enough for today…
Remember:
P.S:
And Romans
14 - read it again, it is
talking about food and fasting - not the Sabbath
Shabbat Shalom
