    Wow wow woe! Did you just say Beliving in Jesus doesnt save you? I know who is preaching another gospel. You are! Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved. Run away from this man as fast as you can. We are not saved by works but by grace. On your death bed you can ask Jesus to forgive you and confess the he died for your sins and was resurrected, this is all that is need to be forgiven. The sabbath is not important for pleasing God at all and tne disciples met on the first day of the week sunday because Jesus appeared to them on sundays. Flee from this man he will drag you back into the bondage of the old law/ the great falling away.

    Dear Brother, There are two sides to every story starting with Elohim which is a Plural word used in a singular context. God the Creator is seen as both a Father = Masculine and a Mother Feminine Role through out the Bible. In the Hebrew language all noun's are either Feminine or Masculine and the Spirit of the LORD is Feminine. The writer of Proverbs got it right and we should as well. Through out Proverbs Have you notice when speaking about Wisdom, understanding, fear, Counsel and knowledge the Hebrew writer uses the Feminine pro nouns She and Her. Wounder Why? Anointing Oil has been the Symbol for the Spirit of Holiness for thousands of years and guess what the Hebrew word for Oil is. She- Men. A name speaks of the Character of the person and reveals who and what they are. I will suggest to you that the Name Title Jesus is Masculine and the other side of Jesus is the Feminine side Christ the Holy Spirit working in perfect unity to bring perfect Salvation. Jesus brings Faith while Christ brings Grace just as Abraham was the Father of Faith so was Sarah the Mother of Grace who when coming together as one birthed a Spiritual Son of God Isaac a Son of promise of the new Covenant. You can not have one without the other when reproduction is concerned in all of creation including the Spiritual birth from above. The Universal Church must Stop the false teaching of Male domination and allow the Feminine Holy Spirit to minister through all the Saint's as She sees fit the Gifts needed to bring Healing from Sickness, Drugs, Divorce, and all the other thing that are destroying God Creation. The Universal Church is a man made Show to entertain and has little if any movement of the LORD'S Spirit to bring Salvation from the things Sin brings. The main Sin is Against the Holy Spirit not being allowed to bless as She see's fit in any Assemble of the Saint's and I do not mean on Sunday only. The Ekklesia Assemble has no Certain Day, Place, or repeated Ritual week after week but it Say's in Hebrews 10:24-25 Do not forsake the Assembling together as some do. It say's nothing Sunday which is a Day to Worship the Sun God of the Romans and his name is Helios and his Daughter Circe. Thank you for allowing me to Comment. May God's Grace be upon all Who Diligently seek it by Faith. AMEN

    KJV Isaiah 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things. Here we see “create evil,” There is no evil found in God. NKJ Psalm 5:4 For You are not a God who takes pleasure in wickedness, Nor shall evil dwell with You. Let us look at the meaning of this in Isaiah 45:7 : The Hebraic understanding is : Elohim (God) is creating evil on the evil people of this world who bring forth evil, misery, pain, agony and death onto other people. Evil: meaning in the above passage Isaiah 45:7 in Hebrew is רַע Rah: "evil" in the absolute, ethical sense. Here it only means evil, because the word "create" is linked to "evil," locking the meaning to its prime root only. In this case only you cannot use another word like disagreeable, malignant, displeasing, calamity or misery. When you look up and see the different meanings of evil in different Lexicons, the Hebrew root word always has the prime understanding first which is “evil”. All of the other meanings like bad quality, inferior, disagreeable, unwholesome, contemptible, morally depraved, ugly, describe in parts what evil is. Those words in our English Bibles are translated by different English words for evil, but in the Hebrew this is not so, as there is only one word and the root word in all of these is רַע Rah:“evil”. So understanding Hebraic thought: You cannot subtract the root meaning and change it to another word; you can only add the root meaning to the other words. Example: How would I write these words in English to convey this? In Genesis 41:3 "Then behold, seven other cows came up after them out of the river, ugly and gaunt, and stood by the other cows on the bank of the river." This word "ugly" in Hebrew is ‎ רע֥וֹת meaning evil. It is an adjective in the feminine plural. The root word is רַע Rah meaning "evil." So the translators changed it to ugly not linking it to evil, because of constraints to express the full Hebraic meaning in English. When we read this verse in Hebrew, we see evil and ugly as one word, as it is governed by the syntax and nuance of the sentence. We never remove evil out of the meaning of the sentence when we read it in Hebrew. On the other hand He makes "peace" with us, to those who love Him and follow His commandments. Shalom

      Hello hope you are doing well? Sleep just means those who have already died and yes they are in heaven, all those who died before Christ went to Abraham’s bosom or also called paradise not purgatory no such thing, when Jesus died He descended to the lower parts of the earth and took the captivity captive and brought them to heaven so now when you die as a Christian absent from the body is present with the Lord so you go to heaven but it is referred to in scripture as sleep.Jesus would have been born on a fall feast and is based on when his cousin John was born six months earlier because his Dad was a high priest, Jesus died on Passover AD 30 on a Wednesday not Friday and was buried on unleavened bread and resurrected on the feast of first fruits, Good Friday is when Tammuz was killed by a wild boar that’s where you get Easter hams from also pagan story Tammuz resurrected on Sunday morning, all this is fake nowhere in scripture but put out by the Catholic so called church

    Keeping secrets, envy, long distance,jealousy,lies and infidelities are major threats to most marriages and relationships and it is important to be smart not to trust 100% when dealing with our partners. Yes, I know the importance of trusting but that same trust can hurt you so much and don’t forget the saying that once a cheater is always a cheater. I’m glad that cyberhackinggenius helped cloned my husband’s phone. I got access to all his dealings both on phone and social media without touching his phone. All I did was share my husband’s phone number with Cyberhackinggenius and I was able to read both his new and 2 years far back deleted messages from my phone through a programmed link to a cloned app containing all cloned cell information without having to touch his phone. My husband was a cheating Narcissist and I’m glad to find out all his secrets and infidelity with the help of cyberhackinggenius. I got to discover that my husband who is legally married to me here in California USA is also recently married to another woman in Canada and I’m finally going through divorce with lots of evidence against him.

    I have a message directly from Jesus: “I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but that You should keep them from the evil one. “ Translated: You are all stuck here til the second coming. There is no and will be no rapture. See you back here in October where I suspect I will have to deliver the same message again. Try reading first century history. Read about the destruction of Jerusalem. The Olivet discourse has been proven to have already occurred or Jesus is a liar! Jesus said THIS generation. When Jesus said “This generation” multiple times in the bible it always meant the people standing before him. It occurred in 70 AD. Nero is 666 in Hebrew Gematria. The abomination that causes desolation occurred in 70AD. The Roman emperors made people swear allegiance and lordship before they could buy or sell n the market. They had ashes placed on their forehead or their hand! It was called even back then “taking the mark”. Most of revelation was fulfilled perfectly in the first century as was Daniel or before. The rapture is an example of forced doctrine that a tiny segment of Christians have believed just in the last 200 years. Church fathers may have believed in the millennium but none of them believed in a “rapture” then a second coming. Because it’s a false doctrine. Read history about how 2-3 million Jews were killed during the tribulation. I rather doubt you will because you don’t want to know the truth. Me I have read many pro and con rapture books. I would even go so far as saying that making the whole bible into a shadow and type and claiming unique knowledge (see Brenda, or Colleen Minter or Ministry revealed or Barry Awe) is a form of Gnosticism and is a heresy. Many of the raptureites worship the idea of the rapture. When Jesus Comes back you better be careful if you worship the rapture because I the parable of the talents he called people like that “wicked” servants for wasting their talents just sitting around waiting for the lord to return.

      Sounds like you have no idea what you are talking about types and shadows are Biblical and the Holy Spirit gives revelation of the truth , if you would study the seven feast days in Leviticus and the meaning of the the fulfillment then you would see the truth , people like you wants so bad to be right and the church be left here for the judgment of God but the Bible does not teach that at all, Jesus prayer for them being left here was because He was leaving and the devil does attack us now but the tribulation is for the world and the apostate church not the bride of Christ

    Part 1 - There is absolutely nothing mysterious about Biblical "tongues" - when referring to something spoken, they are nothing more than real, rational language(s); usually unknown to those listening to them, but always known by the speaker(s) - it’s their native language. In contrast, the “tongues” Pentecostal and Charismatic Christians are producing today is an entirely self-created phenomenon. It is non-cognitive non-language utterance; random free vocalization based upon a subset of the existing underlying sounds (called phonemes) of the speaker’s native language, and any other language(s) the speaker may be familiar with or have had contact with. It is, in part, typically characterized by repetitive syllables, plays on sound patterns and over-simplification of syllable structure. It is also interesting to note that any disallowed sound combinations, i.e. consonant clusters, in the speaker’s native language are also disallowed in his/her tongues-speech. Further, this subset of phonemes typically contains only those sounds which are easiest to produce physiologically. Tongues-speech is occasionally sprinkled with recognizable praise words/phrases (things like ‘hallelujah’, ‘praise Jesus’, ‘Meshiach’, ‘Adonai’, etc.). Sometimes, part of the utterance is rendered in the speaker’s native language, and part in tongues-speech. One of the most immediately recognizable results of all these processes is that no two ‘speakers’ will ever have the same “tongue”…ever. There are as many ‘tongues’ as there are speakers of tongues. (hardly a “reversal of Babel” as some would argue, is it?) Occasionally some speakers will use two or more subsets of phonemes to generate glossolalia, producing what, to them, sounds like two (or more) distinct “tongues languages”, thus claiming to be able to speak in “divers tongues”. Here’s the thing, if a person or being produces a stream of speech, in order for it to be ‘language’, regardless of whether spoken in front of you, in some remote corner of the word, on some alien planet, or on some heavenly/spiritual plain of existence, for it to be 'language', it must contain, at a minimal, two specific features - I can’t stress enough that these two features are universal, regardless of where or, more to our point, by whom the speech is being produced; 'tongues-speech’ contains neither one of these two features. It is simply a facade of language. Neither, by the way, is modern tongues/glossolalia gibberish. Gibberish by its nature does not seek to mimic language. Glossolalia does. People tend to believe something to be supernatural because they can't explain it otherwise. There are, of course, many things in religion which must be taken on faith; they can neither be proved nor disproved. "Tongues" however, is not one of these things. It is something very concrete and tangible; it is a phenomenon which can be (and has been) studied and analyzed. As one writer rather bluntly put it: “tongues speakers need to understand they are making a very testable claim, and the test has failed, every single time.” Indeed, there is absolutely nothing that “tongues-speakers” are producing that cannot easily be explained in linguistic terms. Conversely, when it comes to something spoken, there are absolutely no Biblical references to “tongues” that do not refer to, and cannot be explained in light of, real rational language(s), though it may not be the explanation you want to hear, and it may be one which is radically different from what you believe, or were taught. If the history of the Pentecost movement is examined, one fact is very clear: at some point, between 1906 and 1907, the Pentecostal church was compelled to re-examine the narrative of Scripture with respect to “tongues”. The reason for this re-examination was that it quickly became embarrassingly obvious that their original supposition, and fervent belief in tongues as xenoglossy, certainly wasn’t what they were producing. This forced a serious theological dilemma - As a whole, either the Pentecostal movement would have to admit it was wrong about “tongues”, or the modern experience needed to be completely redefined. It seems the latter option was chosen. One would think it impossible to study the history of Pentecostalism without, at the very least, a cursory look at this ‘tongues issue’. Because the Pentecostal doctrine and understanding on tongues was completely redefined, this would seem to present a problem - how can something like this be taught by Pentecostals to Pentecostals, or other denominations that adhere to ‘tongues’? The answer is not overly surprising. The entire issue seems to have been conveniently ‘forgotten about’, and for all intents and purposes, swept under the rug. Very few, indeed if any, Pentecostals are taught about this issue, and in my experience, most aren’t even aware that it ever existed in the first place. In redefining “tongues”, Pentecostals looked to primary and secondary source works for an alternative explanation. It is during this time that, that (mainly) five German scholars promoted a fresh new approach to Biblical interpretation that purposely tried to avoid the trappings of traditional and enforced interpretations of Biblical texts, collectively known as “Higher Criticism”. Part of this tradition was examining “tongues” as ecstatic utterance, rather than the supposed xenoglossy as understood by mainstream Christianity for centuries. As a quick aside, an important thing to note is that, prior to 1879, the term ‘glossolalia’ did not exist - it is a word coined by English theologian, Frederick Farrar (Dean of Canterbury) in 1879 in one of his publications. The Pentecostal solution to the issue was an adaptation from the works of Farrar, Schaff and a few others. These ideas were further ‘tweaked’ to more adequately fit their new notion of tongues. From this, the concept of “prayer language” as an explanation for the modern phenomenon of tongues-speech was formed. Over a short period of time, a Pentecostal apologetic was built. The emergence of the term “utterance” was strongly emphasized - it kept the definition ambiguous as it allowed for a variety of definitions beyond real, rational language, it was something sort of related to language, and could be defended more easily. “Utterance” fit much better in the Pentecostal paradigm and did not require empirical evidence. ‘Natural Praise’ and ‘adoration’ became a feature of ‘tongues’, and then ‘heavenly’ or ‘prayer language’ further broadened the definition. The term ‘glossolalia’ was transferred in from academia and was given a Pentecostal definition. In short, the tongues doctrine simply shifted into new semantics without any explanation. Xenoglossy one day, “prayer language” the next. The resulting implicit theology however was not a synthesis of revelation and philosophy, but rather a synthesis of trying to make sense of the modern “tongues experience” in light of the narrative of Scripture. A way to legitimize and justify the modern phenomenon by ‘proofing’ it in the Bible. The problem with this however, was an obvious overwhelming absence therein of anything resembling modern tongues. Call it what you will, but for this group of Christians, the result was a virtual re-definition of scripture with respect to the understanding and justification of modern “tongues”; a re-interpretation of select Biblical texts to fit the modern practice/connotation of what ”tongues” was/is perceived to be. What is amazing to me is how absolutely none of this is taught. It’s a topic that today is completely glossed over and conveniently forgotten about in Pentecostal/Charismatic circles. Whether one is interested in this part of Pentecostal history or not, this redefinition has heavily influenced many other Christian denominations that adhere to the modern tongues phenomenon; specifically, it is from this historical doctrinal change that various modern Christian denominations’ belief in tongues, ultimately originated.

    Part 2 - With respect to the concept of scriptural re-definition I mentioned earlier, the best two examples of this are the phrase “praying in the Spirit”, and the word “tongue(s)” itself. “Praying in the Spirit” does _not_ refer to the words one is saying. Rather, it refers to how one is praying. In the three places it is used (Corinthians, Ephesians, and Jude), there is absolutely zero reference to 'languages' in connection with this phrase. “Praying in the Spirit” should be understood as praying in the power of the Spirit, by the leading of the Spirit, and according to His will. In Pentecostal/Charismatic parlance however, the phase has come to be equated with modern “tongues”, i.e. when one “prays in the Spirit”, one is typically engaged in some form of tongues-speech. The word “tongue(s)” itself is simply a more archaic word for (real) “language(s)”, nothing more. Replace “tongue(s)” with “language(s)” in these various passages and the whole modern Pentecostal/Charismatic concept of “tongues” begins to become difficult to posit - “language(s)” sounds a lot less mysterious, and in many cases, adds more clarity to the text. Again, in Pentecostal/Charismatic parlance however, the word has come to be equated with the modern concept of “tongues-speech”. One of the most mindboggling responses I ever received in reference to the above is “They would not be called ‘tongues’ if they were languages.” - it’s honestly difficult to know where to even begin to go with that type of “thought process”, to put it nicely! The popular modern typical, almost ‘standard’ distinction/classification of ‘four types of tongues’, two public and two private, is also the direct result of the Pentecostal redefinition of ‘tongues’ in order to fit the modern phenomenon/understanding. The most damning result of this re-definition is the reading into scriptural texts of things that are simply just not there. Another aspect of the modern tongues phenomenon is, of course, the concept of ‘interpretation’. “Interpretation of tongues”, which goes hand-in-hand with ‘speaking in tongues’, may also be said to be a self-created phenomenon. Interpretation is a ‘spiritual improv’ of sorts, inspired by one’s deep faith and beliefs. What do I mean by this? Well…. Interpretations are typically characterized by being inordinately longer than the actual glossic utterance, rather generic and non-specific in nature, and perhaps not surprisingly, open to multiple non-related ‘interpretations’. In other words, have ten interpreters listen to a glossic string and you’ll get ten different (typically unrelated) “interpretations”. In ‘tongues’, ‘The big brown dog is slow’, can also be ‘The small white cat is quick’. These latter two characteristics (‘generic-ness’ and multiple interpretations) do not suggest anything that is divinely inspired. It fails even the most basic tests and criteria that define ‘communication’ itself. A common come-back to the multiple interpretation issue is that God/the Holy Spirit gives different interpretations to different people. As one writer put it rather succinctly, “Pentecostal Darwinism does not exist - there’s no mutation or transformation of one message into several for the sake of justifying what is an obvious discrepancy. If this were the case, it would completely eradicate the need for ‘tongues’ in the first place”. So, what are modern tongues, then? Modern tongues is a _tool_ , remotely akin to chanting, deep prayer, or meditation, etc.; a way by which one may establish a closer relationship with the divine and strengthen one’s spiritual path. In this respect (i.e. as the _tool_ it is), it can be quite powerful one to accomplish these goals, as attested by many of those who use it. Most other cultures that practice glossolalia realize it as a 'spiritual tool'. It is only in certain Christian denominations where is it construed as something it never was. Most people who use ‘tongues’ are very keen on describing the ‘experience’. Indeed, for those that use it, it is very psychologically, physically, and spiritually fulfilling. It’s almost like primal screaming. When people practice ‘tongues’, they feel a sense of sweet release and inner peace, in that virtually all stress can be gone after the experience. People describe the experience, but in examining the “mechanics” behind it…well, not so much. When a person has experienced tongues, s/he is absolutely convinced as to the ‘scripturalness’ of his/her experience, and the correctness of his/her doctrinal beliefs - this, despite the overwhelming scriptural absence of anything remotely akin to what they’re doing. Mind you, and a point I wish to stress is that, I'm not doubting or questioning the 'experience'; as mentioned, glossolalia as the tool that it is, can be very powerful. Again though, it is important to note that this same statement can be made for virtually _any other culture that practices glossolalia_ . Religious and cultural differences aside, the glossolalia an Evenki Shaman in Siberia, a vodoun priestess in Togo and a Christian tongues-speaker in Alabama are producing are in no way different from each other. They’re all producing their glossolalia in the exact same way. “Tongues” is to some Christian believers a very real and spiritually meaningful experience but consisting of emotional release via non-linguistic ‘free vocalizations’ at best; non-cognitive non language utterance - the subconscious playing with sounds to create what is perceived and interpreted as actual, meaningful speech. In _some_ cases, I would argue that it is clearly a self/mass delusion prompted by such a strong desire to “experience God” that one creates that experience via “tongues”. Known by many different names, “tongues”, or more accurately “glossolalia” or non-cognitive non-language utterance (NC-NLU), is practiced by many cultures and religious beliefs from literally all over the world; it is relatively new to Christianity and certainly not unique to it. As a point of note, I’m a Linguist, not a Theologian and let me also add here that I am neither a so-called ‘cessationist’ nor a ‘continuationist’ - I do not identify with either term; in fact, I had never heard the two terms until just late in 2016. As far as I’m concerned, quite frankly, since the Biblical reference of “tongues” is to real, rational languages, obviously “tongues” haven’t “ceased”; people still speak. I would recommend the following video - skip over the above and go right to about 18:35 and take part in the “tongues-speech” exercise presented: th-cam.com/video/zuPa6O8RG-c/w-d-xo.html For a further discussion on why modern tongues cannot be considered language, I refer the reader to: th-cam.com/video/eqHLM94w_bU/w-d-xo.html

    This was awesome pastor Greg! Thank you for clearing up the confusion I had about speaking in tongues in the church. It never felt right when I heard others speaking in tongues and there was no interpretation. It didn't feel like the Holy Spirit was even present when this was being done.

    How are you going to sit there, as Sunday keepers, and think you can derive any meaning of the Feast of Tabernacles???? You refuse to honor the actual Sabbath day and then you want the deep mysteries of the feast days handed to you? You can't KNOW the meaning until you DO IT. And I don't mean have some nice church service about it. I mean to get out there and "dwell" in a temporary structure, out in the elements, and then rejoice before the Most High for seven days and then an 8th. Only then do you get to experience the intimacy with the Father than was intended by the feast days--not sitting around studying them while you're in absolute rebellion.

  • @jenna2431
    @jenna2431 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    That this is a Sunday-keeping church somewhat dilutes an otherwise important teaching. And you need a harder line on Christmas since the Creator explicitly says not to worship Him as the nations worship their gods (which Dec 25 was the birthdate for most of them). And if you were to actually keep the feast days, you would find yourself forgetting Christmas and Easter as irrelevant, anyway.
