Author of CHURCHISM in the CHURCH AGE. I believe in a Creator God and His Son. Evil/Satan entered earth. Blood and death was needed through Jesus for redemption
Abortions
I have a problem trying to understand why women and democrats demand humane ways of executing convicted murderers and demand humane ways of the euthanizing and killing dogs and cats but have no trouble ripping human babies from their mothers, piece by piece even up to the time of birth.????? Do they believe that baby human do not have feelings like the murderers and animals??? Maybe they should witness the miserable way that the unborn execution of the unborn babies are carried out. BRY

@AFRnet Have you ever thought what Heaven will look like with 45-50,000 Churches with 45-50,000 denominations. This strong reasons for understanding the error that got started 2,000 years ago.

The Church Age (created by God for man or created by man for God)
(1)"Then verily the first covenant had also ordinances of divine service, its sanctuary, a sanctuary of this world." 2) For there was a tabernacle made;... which is called the sanctuary (Holy place) (3) And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called Holy of holies (Hebrews 9:(1-3). God did once come down to earth into man's tabernacle behind a curtain and the priest would bring Him the blood of sacrificed animals for the priest's sins and for the sins of people. "The Holy Spirit this signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing" (Heb. 9:8). "But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation" (Heb. 9:11). See Hebrew 10: 19,20,...(19) "Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus (20) By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated (open) for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh." Through Christ's death we now can enter God's spiritual tabernacle into the holies of Holy.
God had given the Hebrew people the "tribe of Levi" for a priesthood on earth for religious services and that's when man worshiped God on earth Physically in God's tabernacle with sanctuaries on earth and in Temples but today we worship God on earth spiritually in Word. See John 4:20-24- "God is a spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth (word)." John 17:17- "Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth."
Today our worship services are no longer to be on earth physically since Christ has shed his blood on the cross of Calvary, we no longer are required to build alters and no longer required to shed the blood of animals. Animal blood is not to be shed today for sin offering, or guilt offerings; not weekly, not monthly, not yearly, not ever. Never again is animal or human blood to be shed in a process to restore man or please God. After Adam and Eve sinned and were removed from God's presence, these things were required of by God our Creator until man had been redeemed by the blood of His Son which ended this physical type of worship to satisfy our Creator. God had instructed His people on exactly how to build His Tabernacle with its candlestick, and the table, and the showbread and vessels etc., which is called the sanctuary (Holy place) and instructed them how to worship Him through the law of Moses. Neither will God send us another "tribe of Levites" types or send us more earthly leaders for religious services because it is no longer required for our redemption. God is looking for us today to worship Him spiritually in His Kingdom individually and not group worshiping. We were lost and separated from our Father but now we are reunited and will be saved by God if we obey him personally today one on one. We are no longer led by men or governed by religious men or tribes that are sent by God for His people, but now "by the written Words of God." written in our hearts and minds and on paper for we have been saved by the blood sacrifice of His Son, being the final sacrifice which now can save us from our sins. But only if we will hear the voice of God as written and believe in the Words of God and His Christ. The promised "resurrection" that most everyone is looking for today did occur at the end of the Jewish age in the 70 AD period. To wait on God to begin His Resurrection soon in our time today, is like waiting at a bus stop were there are no running busses.
We are no longer given patriarchs from God, we are no longer putting up alters to God; we no longer are receiving new words from heaven, written by men who have been sent by God. We no longer have the Tribe of Levi for us, we are no longer led by apostles (chosen men of God) and receiving new words from the Spirit of God because all of these things are now finished and completed for the redemption of man. Too many men since the 70 AD period have been trying to continue these earthly forms of worship which God no longer requires of us. We now are free of these to worship God individually and spiritually today, because the restoration of man from his sins were hanging over man until the death of the "son of man who was also the Son of God." The Words from heaven were "made flesh" by the Holy Spirit in Jesus beginning at his baptism. The restoration is finished, completed and all the physical efforts on earth to restore man have been accomplished and ended by the 70 AD period. We now worship God, not in earthly places as man had been doing for 4,000 years, but today, 2,000 years later after Christ, we worship God "spiritually" and individually as he asked of us, until we again can worship Him spiritually in person. We will leave this physical world for the spiritual realm. We should have learned from the story of the Samaritan woman at the well, how we where to worship our God from that time onward."But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshipers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth for the Father seeketh such to worship him. God is a spirit and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth"(John 4:23-24). God through Jesus said in Revelation 21:1-4" (3,4)" Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God....for the former things are passed away." Then in verse 22, 23 of Revelation 21 we read: "and I saw no temple: for the Lord God Almighty did lighten it, and the Lamb is the Lamp thereof" and in Revelation 21:1 and 2 Peter 3:13 we read: we are now under the "new heaven and new earth wherein dwelleth righteousness." God's Words are written for us in His Kingdom here and now for the whole earth to see.
So why are people worshiping in Churches today since 70 AD, after the resurrection of God has been completed? In my book "Churchism in the Church Age" I explained what happened. Man created his own way of worshipping God even without God's permission. The people who started the "Church" after 321 AD, kept it going for about 1200 years before the Protestant Churches broke away from them some 500 years ago around 1620. Just think, if you claim to be in a Protestant denomination, then your Church only got started after Martin Luther was here on earth and likely long after his time which is a maxim of only 500 years ago and the end did come 2,000 years ago.
I could tell you some stories about the early church's earthly control they had over the earth. They tortured and killed so many who opposed the Church in some form and there were assignations and much more. Even In the time of Galileo when the Church had the controlling opinions about our solar system, anyone who disagreed with the Church could be burned at the stake as did Giordono Bruno, a philosopher and cosmologist, who was burned at the stake on February 17, 1600 when he tried to convince the world that our solar system moved around the sun at the same time that the early Church believed for some two hundred years that it was the sun that moved. Even Galileo in 1623 tried to make this argument and came close to being burned but escaped death by being forced to submit to the Church. This is the Church that all churches are patterned after being created by man only, both Catholics and Protestants. Churches in this so called "Church Age" are counterfeit to the Bible which God did not create. Not one word comes to us from God about a "Church Age." God's final words to the earth were "Thou shall love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbor as thyself." We cannot do this while being divided into 40-50,000 denominations of churches and more than 5,000 other religions.
At the end of the Jewish age in the 70 AD period Christ had reigned in his Kingdom for 40 years, which God had given him, and Christ conquered Satan and Death before the "Resurrection" time had come for those who looked for it.
Where are the Words from heaven that will explain how we should conduct worship to Him in Churches and what kind of activities the members should be involved in? Please forward it to me if you find it.
If you are thinking of showing me how we are to continued Christ's ecclesia, then please demonstrate how that would be possible because the Holy Spirit in Jesus was the center piece of the ecclesia bringing new Words from heaven directly by revelation to man to be written down and recorded for us today. That which Church Preachers are saying today are not Words to be written. That period ended with Christ and his apostles. The transition period of the Jews from the Old Law into the New and their activities were totally different from us living in God's Kingdom today. Under the law they were "dead to God" until they obeyed Christ by believing, repenting and being baptized into Christ. We today are not separated from God and we are not considered "dead to God " and we are not born in sin to need animal sacrifices and moving our sins forward each year. We today are not given the "Gift of the Holy Spirit" to work miracles as they were able to do in the time of Christ but we can rather help turn good hearts toward understanding those Words written from God.
Does anyone really think God could create a system of worship that in two thousand years would destroy itself into 45-50,000 denominational variations of the same. Division creates weakness, confusion and then destruction. The "Churches" are now dying at a lightning speed today. Phlip. 2:12-1-..."WORK OUT YOUR OWN SALVATION WITH FEAR AND TREMBLING"

A lot of Women seem to love so much the privilege of murdering their unborn Babies, which is "Filicide," that they will vote the Democrats ticket, at the same times voting for opened borders that will destroy these same women by letting in Trojan horses that can destroy us all. These women who are without God are as a Godless nation with no morals and no value to life.
Should we have a righteous anger or an unrighteous anger toward them?
By not replenishing any species with new babies, the species dies out or is mortally wounded. Our children in this nation are not being replenished and this nation has been wounded, along with many other nations. Our babies are being murdered by abortion clinics with the blessing of our Laws and Judicial system. The world we once lived in, now has morphed into something unrecognizable of its creation. God declared murder a sin and even our nation declares murder to be evil and illegal. Many nations now accept murder of babies to be acceptable and too many of our children and young adults along with the left even seem to pleasure themselves in the killing of babies as though it's a great accomplishment. How can our children grow up watching our nation do murder and think it will have no effect on them later. All evil will someday seek its revenge and I would not like to be around to see its justice.
The Ten Commandments vs. the law of Moses
Let us start with: "God sending His own son.. condemned sin in the flesh: that the righteousness (ordinances) of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh (Law), but after the Spirit"- Romans 8:3,4. ; "The Law is not made for a righteous man, but for the Lawless and disobedient...". 1 Timothy 1:9,10.
The Ten Commandments are recorded in Exodus 20 and is recounted in Deu. 5. God gave the earth His Moral Law (two tablets) in the beginning of the Hebrew people leaving Egypt, so that the people will fear Him and obey His commandments. It was to bring the people to obey Him.
As for the law the Moses--"[Having] blotted 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"-Col. 2:14. The "law of Moses" was nailed to the cross but the "Ten Commandments" of God remained forever and is still our covenant with God just like the rainbow. The fulfillment of the law is love. In Matt. 22:37-"Jesus said, Thou shall love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thou soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first commandment, And the second is like unto it, Thou shall love thy neighbor as thy self. On these two commandments hang all the law and prophets." "Ten commandments"(covenant) was placed in the Ark" -Exo. 40:3,20, But the "Law of Moses" was put in the side of the Ark - -"Take this book of the Law (law of Moses) and put it in the side of the ark of covenant of the lord your God, that it may be there for a witness against thee"- Deu. 31:26. "(What then is the Law)? It was added because of transgression, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made"...Galatians 3:19.
In Horeb God spoke to Moses and his assembly of people at the fiery mountain: ..."I will make them hear my Words, that they may learn to fear me all the days they shall live upon the earth, and that they may teach their children" -Deu. 4:10b. Moses said -"And he declared unto you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform, even ten commandments: and he wrote them upon two tablets of stone". "And the Lord commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and judgments, that ye might do them in the land whether ye go over to possess it"- Deu.4:13,14, This later part refers to the Law of Moses. "These were the statues and judgments of God's covenants in teaching them they were to love and fear the Lord, that thou mayest prolong thy days upon the earth"-Deu. 4:40. "And this is the law which Moses set before the children of Israel: (45) these are the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which Moses Spake unto the children of Israel, after they came forth out of Egypt" Deu. 4:44,45.
The Hebrew people had not only the Ten Commandments of God to lead and guide them, they also had the Law of Moses to direct them until the coming of Christ (Galatians 3:19). When the "end " of the
"Last days"" had ended, which was in the 70 AD period, Christ came for his people at his coming (Parousia) the "resurrection." The laws were given that they might live long on the earth as they understood they were created by God and did not come here any other way. The Ten Commandments remains our binding Laws today and forever. The reason God was pleased with Abraham to bless him, was stated in Genesis 26:5- "Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statues, and my laws." Abraham was born hundreds of years before Moses. All the laws of the Ten Commandments can be found writings of God even back to the Garden of Eden. God referred to sin many times before Moses' time: Gen. 4:7; 18:20; 39:9 42:22; 50:17 etc. Sin is a transgression of the laws of God-1 John 5:4. Paul wrote "For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect: Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression, Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace,"- Romans 4:14,15, 16. Thus the law was written. The 4th commandment says: "Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy -Exodus 20:8." You can only say to "remember something" if it had already existed. It's a covenant remembrance when God declared to the people to remember the Sabbath day for it is the day set aside by God from one's break from daily labors and they were to keep it holy in remembrance of God's rest when He created the world. Humans living by human standards has been proving in history to be total failure, there had to be a far superior standard of laws for the world from our Creator. In John 1:17 we read that the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. That which was once "physical worship" of God under the Law is now today "spiritual worship" of God under Christ. The "Church age" is the product of man and not from our Creator. Sunday worship which replaced God's Sabbath is the product of man.
That which is referred to as the Torah is the first 5 book of the Old Testament--Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy and within the Torah we can find the standards for the relationship between man and his Creator and between each other's.
Listed below are the 10 Commandments, written in plain English.
1.- You shall have no other gods before me
(False gods can take many forms.)
2.- You shall not make Idols
(Today's Idols are the Churches, Temples, Cathedrals and Sanctuaries with their wealth and unqualified Preachers.)
3.- You shall not take the lord's name in vain
(Is it possible to go through a day and not hear God name in vain today?)
4.- Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy
(Only a very few since 321 AD remembers the Sabbath day anymore.)
5.- Honor your father and mother
(Sad parents as well as sad children who have only one parent today or none.)
6.- You shall not murder
(Just speaking only of babies, how many unborn babies are murdered each day?)
7.- You shall not commit adultery
(Adultery and fornication today are a way of life especially for the younger ones)
8.- you shall not steal
(Stealing today is just a means of living for so many.)
9.- you shall not bear false witness against your neighbor
(The center court for lying and false witnessing today seems to be our leaders in Washington D.C.)
10.- you shall not covet
(To covet another's wife or husband or other's desirable things.
.............................................................
As for # 4- to remember the Sabbath Day to keep it holy, God has never changed His weekly Sabbath to be on the first day of the week. It was changed by man to the first day of the week in 321 AD with the help of Emperor Constantine without God's permission and the Catholics took it from there.
Now in # 7, why do you suppose God did not list also "fornication" in the Ten Commandments as he had listed "adultery"? My suggestion is that He did. When a man and a women lie together for the first time, they become one as in marriage by their consummation. Their Consummation would create a marriage but in case of death to one of them, another marriage is possible. If their coming together was not intended for marriage then it is called fornication and whoredom, but when they lie again with another it becomes adultery. I believe people DO NOT want to realize their adulterous relationship with many partners, but God will judge them rightly by the 7th commandment which is still valid today.
To fear God and keep His Commandments is the whole duty of man- Ecclesiastes12:13. The younger people of our nation today no longer fear God as they had done before the flood because their Ten Commandment have been removed from them, and the Bibles from their schools have been removed along with prayer. The fear of God is less today than I've seen it in all my years on this earth. I believe it's near an all-time low today and if it goes lower, I fear the wrath of God. BRY
@churchismAD@aigkenham Stating that Jesus is God brings more questions than answers. Like, does God sit at the right hand of Himself in Heaven? There are countless observations that indicate Jesus is Himself. Part of God, part human, and clearly divine. I don't understand the need to make Jesus God.
Can the Father also be the Son?
Jesus also said in John 8:28b.."And that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things." Verse 42b.."for I proceeded ...from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me."
John 7:16- "My doctrine (teaching) is not mine, but His that sent me." See also John3"34 etc. etc. and many others.
How can this explain that the Son is the Father?? Can God be born of a woman??? Can God die??
Christian vs. None Christian
Ken ham has done a great work by producing the likeness of Noah's Ark for the world to see. It's wasn't an easy thing to accomplish. It's a demonstrational land mark of what God did accomplish and a Great reminder of how wickedness was not tolerated in God's world when people had forsaken their Creator and gone about doing wickedness. It is also a reminder that shows God's love for His Creation. The rainbow in our skies is beautiful to look at and our reminder that God's judgment is against this kind of wickedness and we should always consider that when we see it. Now the world lives on and will continue to exist but all men will see judgment after physical death.
To believe that God is and believe that He created all that exists in our physical and Spiritual world is very easy believe by people who look at life with their eyes open and observe all the evidence before us which is so vast and overwhelming. Yet, some people can look at animals, fowls, marine life and humans along with the insect world and believe they came into this world by their own without a Designer and Creator, with all their needs to survive. The complexities of this life can be way beyond our abilities to even comprehend. We must grasp all the Words from heaven we can while we are here. So many people have not yet understood our mission and purpose here. This life is for the sole purpose of preparing ourselves for the time that we leave this world and enter the next world as Spiritual beings to live on without an end. Floating through life with little ambition to know our Creator is such a costly, terrible waste. Our main event is not in this life but rather it is the Spiritual world to come. To know our Creator is our due diligent duty in research, study and understanding in searching for the truth that exists. Few people today will give little thought to how we got here or why we are here. This life, to so many people, is just a spring break and they do not want to be troubled by Spiritual matters while they enjoy what they are doing. Some believe that they can spread their wild oats today and live a Christian life later when the fun runs out and still get by. Being evil does not lead one to being good. We have God's greatest gift written by Him is in front of us, usually drawing dust on a table, unused, or with little use, while not understanding the progression of life which can be like driving down a fast road and seeing the roadway fade away in front of you.
2 Thes. 2:10,11- "And with all deceit of unrighteousness for them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11-And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:"
People who cannot see God in our present world will be sent a strong delusion because they are blinded by their non belief. If you are one of these people who cannot see God in all of His Creation, then you need to understand that God has considered your ways and He has blinded you and turned from you.
To believe that there is a Creator God above, can be without Scriptures as did the early American Indians and tribal people all over the world who believed there is a Superior being who requires the respect of a Creator. It's as natural for humans to believe in God as it is to understand in nature the honey Bees, who only live 2-5 weeks in the summertime. They know their mission here as they make perfect wax and honey from God's flora system and they nourish and care for their queen Bee who will live up to two years. That's some 26 generations of worker Bees to one Queen Bee. The Bees also know what to do without going to school to learn how. They do not listen to 40 to 50,000 different versions of how to make honey; yet humans listen to that many denominational preachers in the 'Church Age' today believing that God will somehow accept this kind of belief. That is the kind of thinking created by man and not by God. BRY
One of the leading evolutionary spokespersons of our age has been Dr. Richard Dawkins of Oxford University in England.
In his book The God Delusion, Dawkins clenches both fists and attempts to “take on” the God of the universe! The publisher's blurb on the cover of the book states:
“Dawkins attacks God in all his forms, from the sex-obsessed, cruel tyrant of the Old Testament to the more benign, but still illogical, Celestial Watchmaker favoured by some Enlightenment thinkers.
He eviscerates the major arguments for religion and demonstrates the ultimate improbability of a supreme being. He shows how religion fuels war, foments bigotry and abuses children.”
I will bring just one of Dawkins' many points to your attention. Taken from chapter seven, the self-proclaimed atheist mocked the hypocrisy of compromising Christian theologians:
“The legend of the animals going into the ark two by two is charming, but the moral of the story of Noah is appalling. God took a dim view of humans, so he (with the exception of one family) drowned the lot of them including children and also, for good measure, the rest of the (presumably blameless) animals as well. Of course, irritated theologians will protest that we don't take the book of Genesis literally any more. But that is my whole point! We pick and choose which bits of scripture to believe, which bits to write off as symbols or allegories. Such picking and choosing is a matter of personal decision, just as much, or as little, as the atheist's decision to follow this moral precept or that was [also] a personal decision, without an absolute foundation. If one of these is 'morality flying by the seat of its pants', so is the other.”
At least Dawkins was being consistent. He recognized that his own “morality” based on his atheism-is relative! And he points out correctly: if theologians “pick and choose which bits of scripture to believe,” then they too are actually saying that truth is relative-to be decided by humans!
For many years now, Answers in Genesis has been calling out to those Christian leaders who compromise the clear teaching of Genesis by accepting the secular idea of millions of years and evolution.
Such compromise undermines people's acceptance of the authority of the Word of God. The very people these Christian leaders influence-both the “ordinary” church attenders and the leaders who teach and govern within the local body-soon join their pastors in believing that you can insert man's fallible ideas and reinterpret the clear meaning (the “hermeneutic”) of Scripture. This has put many youth and adults on a slippery side-with tens of millions eventually rejecting the Bible as the Word of God. This is also connected to the catastrophic generational loss from the church.
I think back to when I was given an initial overview of a major national poll for my book “Already Gone” published in 2009, that was commissioned by AiG (as a follow-up to the results of an alarming Barna Research poll of 2002 and a Southern Baptist poll around the same time). The AiG-commissioned poll clearly showed that a major reason many have left the church is because they no longer believe the Bible is the absolute Word of God.
By the way, such compromise positions in the church are seen by many-inside and outside the church-as sheer hypocrisy. They hear Christian leaders say that the Bible is infallible, but they watch as those same Christian leaders “pick and choose” which bits (particularly in Genesis) are to be accepted as written. Sadly this compromise and hypocrisy is a pandemic through the church and Christian institutions.
Many church leaders think that such compromise is necessary in order to appease the secular academics of the age. The reality, however, is that secular academics of the age mock such compromise. Like Dawkins, they recognize that if you can't trust what the Bible clearly states in one area, you can't trust any of it! Seeing such compromise in the church only fuels Dawkins' hatred of God and His Word.
He is “not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance” (2 Peter 3:9).
Also, we need to pray for the many compromising church leaders- that they will accept and proclaim the authority of God's Word, from the very first verse.
All Christians need to give up academic pride, and intellectual peer pressure and get to the position Job arrived at when he recognized who God is and repented in dust and ashes:
““I know that you can do all things, and that no purpose of yours can be thwarted. ‘Who is this that hides counsel without knowledge?’ Therefore I have uttered what I did not understand, things too wonderful for me, which I did not know. ‘Hear, and I will speak; I will question you, and you make it known to me.’ I had heard of you by the hearing of the ear, but now my eye sees you; therefore I despise myself, and repent in dust and ashes.”” (Job 42:2–6).
We all need to be like Job and recognize compared to infinite Creator God we know just about nothing! We need to let God speak to us through His Word and not take our ideas to God’s Word and reinterpret them to fit in man’s beliefs!
We need to pray for atheists like Richard Dawkins? God is long-suffering-as He was in the days of Noah.
The end Times and the resurrection
(a summary)
Lately there has been an up-kick in people proclaiming that the world is going to end with Christ returning real soon because of the eclipse of the moon along with other reasons they conjure up. The Scriptures say nothing that would indicate our world will ever end. It does teach us that ages will come and go, such an age was the 'Law age.' The Jewish age (or Jewish world) under the Law did end after 1500 years. Ages make changes in the world by beginning and ending but the world has no end according to the Scriptures.
If you believe the end of our world is coming in our future, along with the Coming (parousia) of Christ, then when should we expect the End will be, in this year or maybe within 100 or 1,000 or 10,000 or 100,000 years from now??? God has never left his people in the dark like this. This happens when people, without good study, draw conclusions based on what some unqualified preacher comes up with. To find out what our Creator is saying to us, most people just listen to preachers and hope and expect them to have the right answer. That would mean that we listen to unqualified guesses. One preacher will say one thing and another preacher will say something else. God has 'not' sent us preachers to listen to because that period of knowledge by revelation from heaven ended back in the 70 AD period. So we now are left with God's revelation in written form so we are 'not' left to guessing what to expect from 70 AD onward. If you believe God is sending us preachers today, then which of the 40,000 plus types of preachers is the one He sent us. The last time God sent preachers there were only twelve of them. God's preachers are dead and gone and to believe otherwise is extremely unwise. The real answer to these questions are not difficult but requires close attention to what the Father is telling us in His Words that are written. God's written Words has become our preachers today.
As for the "End Times," listen to what is written and hear the Father rather than man and the truth will reveal itself. First understand that the reading of the Bible about the history of God's people and the process of moving them from being under the law of Moses and preparing them to enter into the Kingdom was given to Jesus Christ as he was given to be head of the Ecclesia by his Father. The law period was for God's people to be tutored and made ready for the Christ and his Kingdom. It is in this historical writings of God's Words we must determine what applies to us today. We must determine that Christ's Kingdom is history to us and we are now in God's Kingdom that was promised. Those under the law were considered "Dead to God," in that, they had been separated from Him since the Garden of Eden and we today are no longer 'dead', thanks to Christ's being offered for our sacrifice for our sins. The Hebrew people, for 1,500 years, were under the burden of the Law to preparing them for the time when they would be removed from the Law into the Kingdom of Christ. For example, while under the Law they would be stoned if they did not keep the Sabbath or be stoned if they committed adultery etc. because evil had to be removed from them as God's people. We are not under the Law now because the Law has been fulfilled in the period of Christ. We are under the Kingdom of God now as was promised in the Scriptures.
The Jews had to be purified by the blood and death of a lamb sacrifice before they were readied to come back to their Creator. Both Heaven and earth were purified by this Lamb sacrifice, thus the 'Son of God and the son of man' had to become the Lamb sacrifice. Coming from the Law period the Jews had to be baptized into Christ to become alive to God under Jesus. Jesus being born a Jew and under the Law also had to be baptized as all believing Jews and is not an example to us today to be baptized. Being baptized into Christ they not only received the forgiveness of all sins since Adam and Eve but also received the "gift of the holy Spirit" (as did Jesus, but he received the Holy Spirit and it remained on him as the Christ.) and the Spirit of God was removed from Him so He could die. Christ returned to receive those saved at the resurrection in the 70 AD period. The end did come for the Jewish people as the people were being returned back to God their Creator. Today when we believe that God is and we turn away from sin, we will benefit from the cross of Christ, because we have returned to God.
The 'end times and the resurrection' are history to us today. How can we believe that God stopped his 'Time line' for the resurrection, at the same time that His Christ and apostles, being guided by the Holy Spirit, were teaching that the "Time Line" was continuing. Many even say that God stopped the time of the resurrection because the Jews did not accept Christ, as though God didn't understand that his Son would be rejected.???? It appears that some people seem to believe that maybe God and His Spirit and His Son with the Apostles were having some problems getting on the same page. God knew before Jesus was born that his Christ would be rejected. Should we believe what many preachers are preaching, who are involved in 40,000 plus different kinds of Churches, or should we hear what Christ's preacher are telling us. Christ was made head of the Ecclesia in this transactional period of the Jews and that period is history now, therefore the period for the Ecclesia is also history for us today. BRY
The Trinity?
I just heard a discussion of someone teaching the Trinity and I wish to enter into that discussion for those who believe in the Trinity. The worst of it was that they believed God came to earth, lived among us and died on the cross. If God had died, the world would cease to be. Everything would come undone and fall apart. Some people even believe Christ was our Creator based on Colossians 1:16-[Speaking of the Son-] "For in Him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether "thrones or dominions or principalities (rulers) or power (authorities"). All things were created through Him and for Him. 17-He is before all things, and in Him all things consist (hold together). "In Him", "through him" and "for him" does not make him the Creator of the world. God who Created the world, the earth, the animals, the Marine life, the foul, etc. etc. and He created man along with all that will sustain all his Creation. (See Genesis 1)Ephes.1:21,22,- Paul wrote Christ was: "Far above all principality (rule), and power (authority), and might (authority), and might (power), and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world (age), but also in that which is to come:-Vs. 22- and hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be head over all things to the 'ecclesia'. Christ came for the Jews but he showed judgment to the Gentiles (Matthew 12:18). The ecclesia was for the transitioning of the Jews from the Law into Christ's kingdom. They were "dead to God" under the Law and baptism was necessary to bring them out of the Law and into Christ's kingdom. Look at John 14:9b, 10b-"Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father;...10b-"Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words I say to you, I do not speak on my own. Instead, it is the Father dwelling in me performing His works..." Romans 1:2,3,4,-2-the Gospel He promised before and through His prophets in the Holy Scriptures. 3-reguarding His Son, who was a descendant of David according to the flesh, 4- and who through the spirit of holiness was declared with power to be the Son of God 'by His resurrection from the dead,' even Jesus our Lord..." This "resurrection from the dead" occurred as he was Baptized by John, as were all the Jews because those under the law were "dead to God" in that their sins where carried forward each year (See1 Corinthians 15:29 -"Baptism for the dead"). That was when God declared this is my Son in whom I am well please, See Matthew 3:17; Mark 1:11; Luke 3:22; for this event. In Matthew 12:18b- It was Isaiah the prophet who said "I will put my Spirit upon him, and he shall show judgment to the Gentiles." In Luke 3:38-Adam was the first" son of God." In Genesis 5:1, 2,- God created man of the earth. When Jesus was baptized by John it was then God referred to Jesus as the "Son of God" with a capital "S," and that's when God's "Word became flesh" (John 1:14)."
In Mark 14:60-62-the high priest ask Jesus if he was Christ the Son of God and Jesus told him he was. David said in Psalms 2: 7,12 of the Son: "Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten (generated) thee. None of the Scriptures indicated he was known as "Son of God" at his birth." It was in Matthew 28:19 that Jesus said "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and the Son and of the Holy Spirit". When Jesus was baptized, the Holy Spirit of God entered Jesus and remained on him through his ministry. We are not taught that God, His Spirit and His Son are the same as in a Trinity. God and His Spirit are one as also my spirit and I are one and my spirit can live on after I am gone. So in that since my spirit is similar to that of God's, in that His Spirit is also an entity of its own but yet one being. His Son became one with God and His Spirit, and all agree as One. That's why, I believe, Christ prayed to his Father, (as he was about to die) "My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me." At Christ's death God's Spirit had to pulled away from him before Christ could die, because God and His Spirit cannot die (Mark 15:34. Matthew 27:46b)
God said in Genesis 1:26- "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness," God was not conversing with his Son because the Son was in God's future plans but not yet. Heaven and earth produced the appropriate Lamb Sacrifice to restore mankind, for the Lamb was the "Son of God and the son of man." God had given His Son a kingdom and at the appropriate time Christ gave this kingdom back to God who gave it to him. Eph. 1:9,10 "God had purposed in Christ to bring together again both heaven and earth." Heb. 1:1-2..in times past God spoke to the fathers through the prophets. 2-"Hath in these 'last days' spoken to us by His son, whom He hath appointed heir of all things by whom also he made the 'ages'....4-Being made so much better than the angles, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they. Heb. 1:13- "But to which of the angles said He at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool?"
If the Son was part of the Trinity, he would not be ask to sit at God's right hand because he would already be there as one of the Trinity. Christ through his death destroyed Spiritual death by destroying the Devil who had the power of death- Hebrews 2:14 . BRY
Darwinism VS. the Church (Just a thought)
I agree it's true that Darwinism has affected the world in a way that is contrary to the Words from Heaven and it convinces weaker minds into believing in the Darwin's camp of distorted theories which can be easily corrected by observation and study. But that's not the only twisted and distorted idea which man has managed to get wrong. The belief in the "Church Age" which was created some 1700 years ago was not from God's Scriptures but is the creation of man with a twisted imagination and not from God's scriptures. Because of Emperor Constantine in 321 AD, God's 7'th day of rest was changed to Sunday's 1st day of the week day of rest which became a worship day for Christians. God's day of rest which God created had lasted for 4,000 years before Constantine changed it, while the Church age has only been here now for some 1,700 years. The beginning of the Church Age had only been around for some 1200 years before Luther and others decided that it was all wrong and not from God's directives. The protest group which became known as "Protestants" has lasted only for some 500 years so far. The Protestants kept the basics of the original teaching of the Catholics but began to make changes in an effort to correct it and now we have from these two versions of Christianity produced more than 40,000 different Church versions of Christianity. Can it be possible that God is pleased with at all these divisions?
One of the original Church Age teachings was that Christ never showed up for his promised resurrection of those saved and those unsaved. The world is being taught that Christ's final act of returning for his promised resurrection (his parousia) was put on pause for 2,000 or 10,000 more years with no words from heaven as to when Christ would come. Will there be a second or third try? Is God having trouble getting the resurrection accomplished? Christ and his apostles continued teaching that the end was soon to come as in the 70AD period. The Church Age is teaching, even today, that the Jew's rejection of Christ before 70AD not only stopped his resurrection from happening but that it was stopped by God at the same time that God's Spirit was teaching Christ's apostles that his coming would be soon, quickly. Are all things possible with God? (Mark 10:26,27.) Keep in mind, God knew that the Jews would reject His Son and kill him, even from the beginning of the world, so why would God be so disappointed in a rejection by the Jews of Christ. Keep in mind also that the Church Age continues teaching that God stopped the resurrection even while God's Spirit was teaching Christ's apostles that Christ was coming soon? BRY
