The Sabbath Commandment Needs To Be Kept.

Image
A person needs to keep the Sabbath commandment just as he keeps all the other commandments.  You really need to reread the New Testament, again, if you think differently.   The Sabbath Commandment was never abolished and it remains the same day of the week as the Old Testament identifies it. 1  Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them. 2  And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. 3  And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.  (Genesis 2:1-3). It clearly identifies the seventh day of the week, not the first day.  If you think otherwise, you are only fooling yourself, and ultimately God will hold you accountable. 2 Timothy 3:15-17 says: " And that from a child you have known the holy scriptures, which are able to make you wise...

Proof Of The Paranormal.

Image
  The next time any human being sees Jesus Christ is when He comes back for His church.   Dead Christians will be resurrected into immortality and the Christians who are still alive at that time Jesus returns will be changed from mortal human beings into immortal human beings.   It is then that people will rise up into the air with Jesus and go into “heaven” and prepare to return with Him and set up an earthly Kingdom.     "Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war. His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. "He had a name written that no one knew except Himself. He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God.   And the armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses. Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should ...

GOD’S FINALE JUDGEMENT OF THE WICKED.

Image
  1Thessalonians 1:9 says that “They will be punished with everlasting destruction and shut out from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his might”.   What is Paul’s message here? The Bible records, see Acts 16 and 17, that Paul did not have a good experience when he visited Thessalonica.   Paul was beaten illegally and then put into prison.   They then forced him to leave the city by night because unbelieving Jews brought false charges against Paul.   Paul did not give up, he made several attempt to return but he was hindered by Satan. “But when we were separated from you, brothers and sisters, for a short time (in presence, not in affection) we became all the more fervent in our great desire to see you in person. For we wanted to come to you (I, Paul, in fact tried again and again) but Satan thwarted us” (1 Thessalonians 2:17-18). In this first letter to the Thessalonian Church Paul was concerned about the progress of the church ...

DEATH AND TAXES - BOTH ARE INEVITABLE!

Image
YOU WILL DIE! IF YOU DO NOT KNOW JESUS WHEN YOU DIE, YOUR DEATH WILL BE ETERNAL! It is a fact.   10 out of 10 people will die.   You just never know when it is going to happen.   There is no alternative to this fact. So, what can you do?   Do you just need to accept this fact?   The simple answer to these questions is, “You need to know and believe in Jesus. The Word of God tells us, “He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him,” (John 3 : 36 ). We are all sinners and as sinners we can never have everlasting life unless our sins are forgiven.   The only way to do that is through the saving grace of Jesus Christ. “…sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, ...

THE POWERFUL AND GOD'S KINGDOM.

Image
Keep in mind that it is natural in this world where so many are striving for distinction, to make special those who have distinguished themselves.  In the twenty first century Celebrity worship is a staple of the world.  Because of their wealth and their media exposure, there are extremely powerful and influential people in all walks of life. This type of power is not a part of God’s kingdom. Powerful people know that they’re powerful.  The church should be the one place where this earthly power has no influence at all because we are all brothers and sisters alike in Christ, regardless of societal or political rank, wealth or race. "It is by no casual, accidental touch that wealthy, world-loving, world-worshiping souls can be drawn to Christ. These persons are often the most difficult of access. Personal effort must be put forth for them by men and women imbued with the missionary spirit, those who will not fail or be discouraged."  (Ellen G. White, The Min...

Jesus Christ Admonishes Those Who Blindly Follow Teachings Of Their Religious Leaders.

Millions of Christians today are deeply religious people and strictly believe and follow the doctrines of the Churches that they belong to.  Is this a good thing?  Can they be assured that they are truly saved?  What does the scriptures have to say about churches who preach a doctrine that cannot be backed up by scripture?   The Scriptures tell us: But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you... And many will follow their destructive ways...They are spots and blemishes, carousing in their own deceptions while they feast with you... they speak great swelling words of emptiness.... (2 Peter 2:1-2, 13,18)   Many Christians faithfully attend Church every week.  Ministers, pastors and priests preach from the pulpits from the smallest to the largest churches in the world.  Believers come to the conclusion that Peter must not have been referring to the church in our d...
