Knowing Hebrew or Greek is not essential for all Christians

Now really this is absurd. Why in the world would now anyone want to learn Hebrew to study the rather firstly obsolete Old Testament, or the Torah, both  Made obsolete by God himself by the introduction of the New Testament of Jesus Christ,  really they all should be reading the Greek New Testament for a start even.  and why would you try to lead  anyone astray from that taught in the New Bible, unless you really are demonic. If you are also now  counting on knowing the language to know the word of God you already from the start are really, really lost, still going to hell even.. because it is the Holy Spirit who will guide, lead, show you all the truth even, and he can do that in any language now too.  He the Holy Spirit alone can now teach you in both the old and new Testament, he can show you old truths and new truths as well.. without you having to know the Torah, or the Hebrew, or the Greek, but still  the old Testament laws  and feasts are no longer applicable to any one of us .

.Jesus answered, “I did tell you, but you do not believe. The miracles I do in my Father’s name speak for me, but you do not believe because you are not my sheep. My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand. I and the Father are one.”; Note Jesus id not say that he will speak to you in Hebrew or in Greek firstly.. He said he will speak to you directly.. and if you really cannot hear Jesus s voice now, knowing Greek and Hebrew will not help you to deal with that even now.. you got major spiritual problems with God first that have to be still dealt with…

,

 No where in the New Testament does it now say, “Want to be a better Christian? Learn Greek or Hebrew, Become a Jew, Observe the Old Testament laws,   Help the Jews get back their once promised land.. nor does it say that that the Jews should return to Israel after God had kicked them out the second time.. rather the New Testament does says follow only after Jesus Christ, and be now filled with the Holy Spirit.. so are you doing God’s revealed will now Following after God means just that and it does not mean you follow after some man or women, his or her teachings instructions for you for sure, or  merely join any church immediately, nor does it mean you have to learn Greek, or go  immediately to a Bible school, Bible college, unless God tells you specifically. The Holy Spirit is supposed to speak to us every day. This is what the Greek says in John 16: 26: “he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said and done” every day. Not an occassional time when He can catch our attention. He, the Holy Spirit, is called Counsellor (Grk. defense attourney). He is supposed to be able to “guide you into all the truth” every day. Being able to hear from God is not supposed to be once in a while when He can catch our attention.

This false Judaic, Hebrew, demonic emphasis is getting to be really, really farcical, a big comedian tragedy. Some of the errors  for that matter in anyone, who classify themselves Messianic Jews today are:

,

1. They call for Christians to recognize extra-biblical Jewish books, which are supposed to give fuller understanding of the Greek New Testament. In fact some go so far as to proclaim the Hebrew Scriptures are the authentic scriptures, not the Greek text of the KJV Bible. They really are trying to take you to hell, they really are demonic

,

The New Testament was given in its original, inspired from the Hand of God, in GREEK, not Hebrew. Most of the extra-biblical Hebrew “scriptures” that the Messianic Jews are seeking to foist onto the Christian Church are ancient writings, often with occult and mystical sources, traditional material which are NOT Scripture at all. They are extra-biblical sources of knowledge.

,

The Bible was written in 3 languages:

,

1. Hebrew was the Language of the Old Testament.

2. Aramaic was the language of the far east until the time of Alexander the Great.

3. Greek was the New Testament language and the International language at the time of Christ.

,

But yet the Messianic Jews, Zionist and  Hebrew Roots Movement tend to make  claims falsely that the original Gospels were written in Hebrew, or possibly Aramaic, and that the Greek New Testament is a mere translation and in some cases a mis-translation of the Hebrew or Aramaic originals. They have even gone so far (some of them) to conclude that Paul’s writings where he addressed the heresy they teach, were re-written by Rome and are not authentic. Of course they cannot prove this, but it is enough to cast doubt in their adherents and justify themselves in their error.

,

The Canon of Scripture, the only one that is in effect, applicable for today, the New testament  is closed and preserved by the Lord in the Greek language. Whether Christians are from Jewish backgrounds or not, we must all recognize the authority of God’s Word, as given to us in the Canon of Holy Scripture. No other books can or should be added to this Canon.

,

Tell all of those lying Jews they are demonic when they are trying to take you away from Jesus Christ, Apostle Paul, and the New Testament..

,

Jesus was not another  man child  born into this world who became God next. Jesus was God himself come to earth in the flesh. Jesus was the anointed one. Jesus is the Messiah and  the transliteration of the Old Testament Hebrew word pronounced maw-shakh, meaning Anointed One, which when translated into the New Testament Greek is Christos. 

,

Knowing Hebrew or Greek is not essential for all Christians

,

Real Christians who know and follow the New Testament do know that there are no Jews any longer in Heaven but only Christians..

,

The new Jerusalem is solely for the bride of Christ, the Christian church as well and not for any unsaved Jews or unsaved gentiles even..

,

(Rev 21:2 KJV) And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

,

(Rev 21:9 KJV) And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will show thee the bride, the Lamb’s wife.

.

PS There is a huge pitfall in Christianity: by thinking the Bible is the Word of God alone, and thinking that all the commands in the Bible referencing the Word of God, refer solely  to the Bible; when the references really mean going to God directly and listening to the Word of God  personally speaking to you. If you don’t also listen to the Voice of God, you will never really  grow; you will never know from what to repent; you will never receive his changing, purifying grace; you will not find God or his will and plan for you; and you will not have any final reward in the Kingdom of God or Christ. You will never make it to Heaven but still only to Hell.You can memorize the entire Bible, quoting chapter and verse, and it will gain you nothing with God. It is easy to read the Bible. It often feels good to read the Bible, as long as you discount all the requirements such as holiness, perfection, and purity while ignoring the disqualifications of anger, lust, immorality, impurity, greed, etc. The Bible wasn’t even printed until 1516, but the early church thrived for 300 plus years without it. Like many in the early church, even if you can’t read, you can be changed and purified to enter the Kingdom of Heaven as a son of God forever – by listening to God’s voice and obeying it. For he calls us all to repentance, Christhood, and the Kingdom of Heaven.

Hear this! Understand, the Bible is not the Word of God, for the many scriptures that refer to the Word of God are not referring to the Bible, but rather to the voice of God or the Lord – his words from him, the living spirit Word – otherwise you are looking to the wrong source of growth – a book, instead of God’s spirit, who desires to speak and teach you outside of the Bible. The Holy Spirit will teach you all things. John 14:26. He desires to teach you individual, personal things about yourself, and how he wants you to live, how he wants you to improve, what he wants you to deny – as well as encourage you, tell you of his love for you, and open up the scriptures to you, including the mysteries. If you limit yourself to reading the Bible, you will only get crumbs beneath the table.

Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God. Mat 4:4

 There is no valid, real spiritual life without hearing words from the mouth of God. http://sacredtruths.wordpress.com/2012/02/04/god-can-speak-directly-to-you/

Fast food resturants too can offer bad food

Too many preachers lie and say that when you become a real Christian, you will next have only  joy, peace,  prosperity, all your prayers answered,  and the devil even cannot touch you anymore..  that is   unbiblical rubbish or half truths.. these are the same type of fast food restaurant  persons who have not even died to self, and who lie and say you can skip tribulations.. while most Christians are having them already even..

.

Look there are still the good seeds God has sowed and there are bad seeds the devil sowed.. On the net as well.. in Churches now too. There is holy Spirit anointed person and there are the demon, carnally led persons too. They of course teach very different things.. How can you tell the difference? Well here is a great clue.. anyone who is ignorant of the person of the Holy Spirit is not a real Christian yet… so he or she do not have the real truth.

.

False preacher give you the no suffering, easy life and easy gospel..  all while Jesus said count the cost and take up your cross and follow me.. Luke 14: 28 For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it?

.

Matthew 16:24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

.

Mark 8:34 And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

.

Mark 10:21 Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.

.

Luke 9:23 And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.

.

The devil still can  cause disaster in your life.. Look at Job..  and Jesus still said  Matthew 10:36 And a man’s foes shall be they of his own household.: Matthew 10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. John 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.  Mark 10:30 But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life.

.

.but Rom 8:28 28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.

Jesus Christ alone saves you from Hell

Ephesians 2: 1    And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; 2    Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:  3    Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. 4    But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, 5    Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) 6    And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: 7    That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. 8    For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9    Not of works, lest any man should boast.

The Bible says that Hell was created for the devil and his demons, and while  not for one single human being

 Matthew 25: 13    Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh. 14    For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods. 15    And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey. 16    Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents. 17    And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two. 18    But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord’s money. 19    After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them. 20    And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more. 21    His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord. 22    He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents beside them. 23    His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord. 24    Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed: 25    And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine. 26    His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed: 27    Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury. 28    Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents. 29    For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath. 30    And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 31    When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: 32    And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: 33    And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. 34    Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 35    For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: 36    Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. 37    Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? 38    When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?  39    Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? 40    And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. 41    Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:

Sadly most  humans by the exercise of their own free will they still choose to go to hell by refusing to admit, repent of their sins and rejecting Jesus Christ as their sole Lord and Savior.

“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” —John 14:6

“And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord…” —Revelation 14:13

 ”And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.  And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.” —Revelation 20:14,15 .

(Jer 9:2 KJV)   Oh that I had in the wilderness a lodging place of wayfaring men; that I might leave my people, and go from them! for they be all adulterers, an assembly of treacherous men. 3  And they bend their tongues like their bow for lies: but they are not valiant for the truth upon the earth; for they proceed from evil to evil, and they know not me, saith the LORD. 4  Take ye heed every one of his neighbour, and trust ye not in any brother: for every brother will utterly supplant, and every neighbour will walk with slanders. 5  And they will deceive every one his neighbour, and will not speak the truth: they have taught their tongue to speak lies, and weary themselves to commit iniquity. 6  Thine habitation is in the midst of deceit; through deceit they refuse to know me, saith the LORD.

 Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men: (Isa 29:13 KJV)

(Acts 10:38 KJV)  How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him. 39  And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree: 40  Him God raised up the third day, and showed him openly;

Acts 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. 39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call. 40 And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation. 41 Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls. 42 And they continued stedfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers. 43 And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles. 44 And all that believed were together, and had all things common; 45 And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need. 46 And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart, 47 Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.

THIS BAPTISM, FILLING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT  IS FIRSTLY RESERVED ONLY FOR GOD’S CHILDREN, HIS BELIEVERS WHO HAVE ACCEPTED JESUS CHRIST AS THEIR PERSONAL SAVIOR AND ALSO THE FULL LORD OF THEIR LIFE.  JESUS SADLY IS STILL NOT ACTUALLY THE LORD OF ALL OF THE PROFESSING CHRISTIANS  TOO.THERE THUS NOW ARE BOTH INITIAL AND CONTINUAL FILLINGS, HOLY SPIRIT ANOINTING UPON ALL BELIEVERS.

“Indeed the fullness of God the Holy Spirit is essential to every child of God and God promised this fullness to all His children and assured us that if His children ask they shall receive (Luke 11:33). In all the accounts referred to above the gift of the Holy Spirit was reserved for those called children of God, believers, disciples of the Lord Jesus and had received God’s Word (Acts 2:14,15,17).

Although the baptism in the Spirit can occur jointly at conversion, it usually happens at a later time. It is a result of our own personal willingness to walk fully with the Lord in obedience to His will.The Baptism of the Holy Spirit is separately both a filling of the Holy Spirit and an anointing of the Holy Spirit for a particular  service for God. To be baptized in the Spirit is to be immersed in the Spirit to the point that the you do allow the Holy Spirit takes over control of your life, activities, to empower you  – to take direct control even of your thoughts, words and actions. You see, it is one thing to have the Spirit residing in you. It is another thing to have the Spirit presiding over  you.  Ephesians 5:18 tells us, “And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled continually with the Spirit.” The Greek tense for filled implies the idea of keeping on being filled.  We all are to pray that we be also filled with the Spirit continually. We also can always come closer to God and receive more of the anointing of the Holy Spirit.

It is too often also still the religious Proud people like to say that they have all of the  Holy ghost and they do not need anymore , but in reality by their pride they show that they do not enough of Him.. ironically these same proud people tend not to manifest even the charismatic spiritual gifts as well, not surprisingly, for still they are too full if it, full of sin and pride.. Baptism of the Holy Ghost – is God’s given power for our service for him received.   We should desire as much of Him the Holy spirit  as well..  and more everyday too..

It is amazing to me how the basic Christians issues are so commonly discussed  and yet too often really personally unknown still including the gifts of the Holy Spirit

But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. (2 Cor 4:7 KJV)

Note this:  

- Jesus was born by the power of the Holy Spirit ((Luke 1:35 KJV)  And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God. ).    

- He went about doing good and healing all the oppressed by the devil, by the power of the Holy Spirit (Acts 10:38 KJV)  How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him. ).    

- All his ministry was done anointed by the Holy Spirit ((Luke 4:18 KJV)  The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, ).    

- He was crucified moved by the eternal Spirit ((Heb 9:14 KJV)  How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? ).    

- The Spirit raised Jesus from the death ((Rom 8:11 KJV)  But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you. ).    

- And actually, the Holy Spirit is the one who leads the Church and your life and mine

((John 14:15 KJV)  If ye love me, keep my commandments. 16  And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;17  Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.18  I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. (John 14:26 KJV)  But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. (John 15:26 KJV)  But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me: (John 16:7 KJV)  Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. 8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: 9   Of sin, because they believe not on me;10  Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;11 Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged. 12 I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. 13  Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will show you things to come. 14  He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall show it unto you. ).    

- All the Bible was inspired by the Holy Spirit, and that’s why it is the Word of God, to guide and help in the sanctification of all of us ((Heb 4:12 KJV)  For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. (2 Pet 1:21 KJV)  For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. ).

Once a person has been personally now accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior, note both, they will next be baptized with the Holy Spirit, and clearly he or she will start becoming a different person. This generally will happen in two different ways:

-The Holy Spirit will continually empower the believer with new abilities, called “The Gifts of the Holy Spirit.” These gifts enable the believer to do the Lord’s work in new and sometimes miraculous ways. Think of them as “birthday gifts” in honor of their new birth but they are also gifts to equip one to service Christ and the body of Christ much better . The gift of the Holy spirit themselves are never an adequate substitute for having the fruit of the Holy spirit now too

- As the believer next also makes daily conscious choices to submit to the gentle leading of the indwelling Holy Spirit, the believer’s character is immediately changed. The resulting visible new character traits are called “The Fruit of the Spirit” – . The fruit of the Holy spirit themselves are never an adequate substitute for having the gifts of the Holy spirit now too

1  Corinthians,   12: 1  Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I do not want you to be ignorant: 2 You know that you were Gentiles, carried away to these dumb idols, however you were led. 3 Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God calls Jesus accursed, and no one can say that Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Spirit. 4 There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. 5 There are differences of ministries, but the same Lord. 6 And there are diversities of activities, but it is the same God who works all in all. 7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all.

1 Cor 2:9  But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.  10  But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. 11  For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. 12  Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. 13  Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 14  But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

We all  do also still have to seek these Holy Spirit gifts with all our heart (Jer. 29:13), that also includes the nine Gifts of the Holy Spirit “For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing(s) by the same Spirit; To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:” (1Corinthians 12:8-10) and the Spirit of Truth, Holiness, Wisdom, of the Fear of the Lord, of Counsel, Spirit of Grace and the Spirit of Knowledge.

Spiritual Gifts

 Word of wisdom. Wisdom is simply applied knowledge. We experience the word of wisdom when the Holy Spirit gives us supernatural wisdom in a particular situation. In your daily walk, the Holy Spirit will sometimes empower you to share the Gospel with another person. The Holy Spirit will miraculously give you words to touch the heart of that person. When it happens, you KNOW that your intellect didn’t concoct that word of wisdom. It came from the heart of God, as a gift to that soon-to-be believer.  The wisdom from God can bring happiness, long life, riches, honor and peace,       

 Word of knowledge. Sometimes the Holy Spirit reveals something that the believer couldn’t possibly have known otherwise. ISometimes in your prayer times, the Lord will reveal something to you. Maybe that word is for you: to encourage you or convict you of a particular sin.  On rare occasions, the word is for (or about) somebody else or some group.  When you receive such a word, immediately ask the Lord for wisdom in how to apply it.  

        

Faith.  At specific times, God gives us clear directions to step out in faith in a particular situation, and the results are often miraculous (at least in our eyes).    We also do exercise faith when we act on the basis of God’s will, as revealed in Scripture and confirmed by the Holy Spirit.      

    

Gifts of Healings. Notice that the Bible talks about Gifts (plural) of Healings (also plural). These are individual packages of healings given to specific persons. Healing is a miraculous, partial reversal of The Curse, a special act of God’s love in our behalf.  God is willing to bestow a gift of healing through the prayers of any Spirit-filled Christian. In most cases, it is not only because these believers are successful in their prayers and  they are good listeners to god but it is also they have been gifted in this area.. They pray to HEAR the will of God FIRST. Then they can pray with 100% confidence because they are lined up with God’s will in that situation.

“…to another the working of miracles…”  It takes first a knowledge of God’s word, and of Wisdom and Faith to discern God’s will even for His service. But if we are abiding in Christ and faithfully studying Scripture, the Holy Spirit will show us His will. Just don’t be surprised (or falsely impressed with yourself) when He asks you to also work a miracle. The Lord will occasionally ask you to pray for a miracle. Miracles should also be a normal part of our walk. We should always have our hearts tuned to hear God’s voice never  the less.   (Deu 7:22 KJV)  And the LORD thy God will put out those nations before thee by little and little: thou mayest not consume them at once, lest the beasts of the field increase upon thee.23   But the LORD thy God shall deliver them unto thee, and shall destroy them with a mighty destruction, until they be destroyed. (Heb 6:1 KJV)  Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,2   Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.  

“…to another prophecy…” PROPHECY IS PERSONALLY PROCLAIMING DIRECTLY GOD’S WORD SPECIFICALLY TO A SPECIFIC GROUP.. You do not have to be a Prophet to prophecy, in fact all believers are encouraged to use the gift of prophecy firstly too.  (1 Cor 14:31 KJV)  For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted.  (Rev 19:10 KJV)  And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellow servant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.  All Prophecy always exalts the Lord Jesus Christ. The Christian People who have learned to use faithfully the gifts of prophecy tend to become God true Prophets. God’s prophets ALSO TOO do work two ways. Most of the time, they speak forth God’s will in accordance with Scripture. At certain times, they will EVEN foretell future events.  In real life, prophecy works like a combination of the Word of Wisdom and Faith. The prophet operates in the Lord’s wisdom, and speaks in faith in obedience to the Holy Spirit and  CONSISTENT with the Scriptures. God’s prophets are not perfect as well, neither was Moses and he was a true Prophet of God  (1 Chi 8:46 KJV)  If they sin against thee, (for there is no man that sinneth not,) and thou be angry with them, and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away captives unto the land of the enemy, far or near; (Eccl 7:20 KJV)  For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not.

“…to another discerning of spirits…” there are specific times when we absolutely MUST know the truth of a particular situation. For example, we must know: Whether a person’s words and actions are motivated by the Holy Spirit, by a demon, or by that person’s own flesh nature.  And you must really pray for discernment when you are around people operating in the Spirital gifts; Your discernment will enable you to know whether their teaching is demonic or just uninspired.  I have seen many TV preachers preach what I thought was a good message only too often to  have the Holy Spirit next say to me they are false, they were not his true messengers and why as well! Even the Religious spirits do now love to operate in churches. The first instance of Jesus casting out a demon was in a synagogue. When a particular person is demon-possessed. Most of the time, this will be obvious to a Spirit-filled believer. Instantly start praying for the Holy Spirit to give you wisdom to know God’s will in that situation. Be careful to do nothing more or less than God’s will, even if God’s will is to walk away. And have faith that what God requires, He enables. Does the content of this section shock you? Just remember Paul’s words in Ephesians chapter 6, verses 12-18: For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.  14 Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.  17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; 18 praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints . ccording to this passage, God requires us to recognize the spiritual nature of our daily walk. We’re in a battle, and you can’t see the enemy. Therefore we must be watchful (verse 18) with our supernatural senses, exercising discernment along with the gifts of wisdom, knowledge and faith.  

…to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. The “different kinds of tongues” is a most-peculiar gift. The most-famous example was when the 120 disciples began speaking in other tongues on the Day of Pentecost.  Just as each gift of healing is a partial reversal of the general curse on humanity, the gift of tongues on that occasion was a partial reversal of the curse and confounding of languages at Babel. In the passages in the Book of Acts, different groups of disciples spoke in tongues unknown both to themselves and their hearers. For example, before Peter could finish sharing the Gospel message with the Gentiles in Cornelius’ house, the Holy Spirit fell upon these Gentiles and they began speaking in other tongues.

The biggest factor in the successful usage of the spiritual gifts is our attitude of submission, lordship, meekness, humbleness..  For all those things hath mine hand made, and all those things have been, saith the LORD: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word.  (Isa 66:2 KJV)

There are the Manifestation Gifts of the Holy Spirit, but there are also given to the Church the gifts of church officers  too.

 (Eph 4:11 KJV)  And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12  For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: 13  Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: 14  That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; 15  But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: 16  From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.

Paul now also said, I KEEP UNDER MY BODY, AND BRING IT INTO SUBJECTION: LEST THAT BY ANY MEANS, WHEN I HAVE PREACHED TO OTHERS, I MYSELF SHOULD BE A CASTAWAY-1 Cor 9:27. Paul knew we could lose salvation as also exemplified in the following. BEHOLD THEREFORE THE GOODNESS…OF GOD…IF THOU CONTINUE IN HIS GOODNESS: OTHERWISE THOU ALSO SHALT BE CUT OFF (if you do not continue in faith and obeying the Gospel, you shall be cut off). AND THEY ALSO, IF THEY ABIDE NOT STILL IN UNBELIEF, SHALL BE GRAFTED IN: FOR GOD IS ABLE TO GRAFT THEM IN AGAIN-Ro 11:22,23.

At any point in our Christian life we can decide to turn back, to choose the things of the world rather than the things of God and heaven. 50 percent of all of the once loudly professing Christians I know eventually do fall away from the Lord, deliberately chose not to follow after him anymore, mainly cause they have a desire to get rich or to experience more of the pleasure of this world..  (Luke 17:32 KJV)  Remember Lot’s wife. 33  Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it. 34  I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left. 35  Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left. 36  Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

(1 John 2:15 KJV)  Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

The Holy Spirit wants us to (Eph 5:19 KJV)  Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; 20  Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;21  Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.

and to mediate on good things (Phil 4:8 KJV)  Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

Let us not grieve Him, the person of the Holy spirit . Let us be obedient to Him.  We can get anointed, filled, Baptized  of the Holy Spirit, and then through sins, neglect of our godly spiritual life, we can drift away from the Lord and begin once again to quench and grieve the Spirit. Our personal convictions  of our sins by the Holy Spirit and our personal repentance will then bring us back to the Lord and to a new release of the power of His Spirit within us. Thus, we experience again the power of the  baptism in the Spirit. The only way we can stay full of the Spirit is to stay near, to come back to the  fountain, Jesus Christ  who is the baptizer of us with the Holy Spirit. Let us talk to Him and continue in a wonderful relationship with Him. Then the further purposes of the Baptism in the Holy Spirit will be achieved in our lives.

1 Corinthians 12:31, “But covet earnestly the best gifts.”

1 Corinthians 14:1, “Desire spiritual gifts.”

Eph 4:30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.

 ((Heb 12:1 KJV)  Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, 2   Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.).

 Ephesians 1:19 “The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,”  Ephesians 3:20-21 “Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.” . .

Psalms 22: 26 The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise the LORD that seek him: your heart shall live for ever.

The New Testament Bible does not contain any prophecy concerning Israel today, except that she will continue to “fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled” (Luke 21:24).

No Christians should  be focusing upon the Middle East today; but rather, upon preaching the Full Gospel to the world (Matthew 28:19,20). We are also now to love all people, of all nations, of all races.

“…For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel… That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God” (Romans 9:6,8). 

“I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan. .” (Rev. 2:9- )

“For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.” —Romans 2:28,29

“There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.” —Galatians 3:28

There are no Biblical remaining prophecies concerning Israel to be fulfilled before Jesus returns.

God is NO respecter of persons (Acts 10:34). God’s loyalty to Israel is to the nation in accordance with His own divine purpose and plan; and NOT to the Jewish race because they are more special than anyone else. God DIDN’T bless the Jews when they sinned against Him in the Bible. The Jews went into 70-years of captivity for failing to keep the Sabbath for 490 years (7 x 70 = 490). God punished them one year in exile for every 7-years they refused to keep the Sabbath. Deuteronomy 28:1-14 clearly make the blessings of God CONDITIONAL upon Israel.  We learn in Deuteronomy 28:15,16… “But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day; that all these CURSES shall come upon thee, and overtake thee: CURSED shalt thou be in the city, and CURSED shalt thou be in the field.”

Who Owns the Land of Palestine Today?God owns it.  God has promised the “future” Land of Palestine to the seed of Abraham (Genesis 13:14-17; 17:6-8), Isaac (Genesis 21:12), and Jacob (Genesis 28:13,14).  Of course, Jacob’s name was changed by the Lord to “Israel.”  Muslims have no Biblical claim to the land of Palestine today, NOR do the Jews.  The Lord did not promise to restore Israel to their land until HE RETURNS.  Israel was removed from their land by force in the 8th and 6th centuries B.C., by the Assyrians and Babylonians, respectively.  Israel was again removed from their land in A.D. 70 and A.D. 135 by Rome. and today God’s Blessings are Promised for all those Who Befriend the Christians (the sole, real spiritual Jews, Israel today) and not the Natural Jews Matthew 10:42    And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.  ; Mark 9: 40    For he that is not against us is on our part. 41    For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because ye belong to Christ, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward. 42    And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea

Romans 11:1-2 and 19-23, I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel, saying … Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in. Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear: For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee. Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off. And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again.”

The Scriptures you’ve just read plainly teach that ONLY Jews who believe the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ will be grafted back into the tree as God’s people. In other words, if you don’t get saved, then you are NOT God’s people and you will go to Hell forever.  Clearly, the Word of God teaches that “Jew” in the Bible, as regards all the future promises to Israel, refers ONLY to born-again Christian Jews. It is the circumcision of the inward heart, and not the outward flesh, that makes one a Jew in God’s eyes. No unconverted Jew can ever claim the promise of God concerning Palestine, unless he first BELIEVES on Jesus Christ as his personal Messiah. You Need HIS Righteousness!  “When Paul says “all Israel shall be saved,” he does not mean every individual Israelite will be saved. It is the nation he has before us in this chapter. In every age, only a remnant is saved. The quotation Paul uses is from Isaiah 59:20 in the Old Testament: “And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the Lord.” The message to the individual is that he or she will have to “turn from transgression” to the Lord. There will be a remnant that will turn to Him. All of them will be saved. He speaks of the saved remnant as the nation Israel. There is always only a remnant that is saved. There was a remnant in Elijah’s day; there was a remnant in David’s day; there was a remnant in Paul’s day; there is a remnant in our day; and there will be a remnant during the Great Tribulation Period.   “

The Bible now also teaches that God’s promises were not made to all Jews; but only to saved Jews…”Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.” —Galatians 3:16  “So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.” —Galatians 3:9

God cut off Israel in 586 BC as well as 70 AD  for their continuous and stiff necked rebellion against His Word, his son,  even killing the prophets sand his son. But  any Jew still can be grafted back into the tree, but all Christ-rejecting Jews are NOT GOD’S PEOPLE. Less than 2% of the Jews living in Israel today profess to be a Christian. The Zionist certainly aren’t a holy people. Jews are the most hateful enemies of Jesus Christ today.;

There was,  is no promised 3rd return to Israel, Jerusalem. Rather there are differing legal and diplomatic positions on Jerusalem held within the international community.[1] Scholars are divided over the legal status of Jerusalem under international law.  No country in the world has recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. Many do not recognize it as a city that is properly Israel’s. Many UN member states formally adhere to the United Nations proposal that Jerusalem should have an international status.; “By calling this covenant ‘new,’ he has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and aging will soon disappear” (Heb. 8:13). The choice, therefore, is between two theologies: one based on the shadows of the Old Covenant and one based on the substance of the New Covenant.

And let me say boldly that Israel belongs to God, not the Jews. Leviticus 25:23, “The land shall not be sold for ever: for the land is mine; for ye are strangers and sojourners with me.” Unsaved Zionist Jews claim that God promised the land to them; but the Bible says it is God’s land upon which He has promised to regather all the saved (Jew and Gentile alike) to live (Galatians 3:26-29). This regathering will happen when Jesus Christ returns at the Second Coming (and not until).

Further more the Christians are God’s people today. Galatians 3:28-29 says there are no Jews in Christ…Galatians 3:28-29, “There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.” There is neither Jew nor Gentile in Christ. So we can divide all humanity into one of three groups: Jews, Gentiles and Christians. The Jews today are NOT God’s people. Galatians 3:29, “And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.”

In fact, Deuteronomy 28:15-68 pronounces numerous CURSES upon the Jews if they fail to obey God’s commandments.  God’s promise of blessing upon Israel is conditioned upon their obedience to the Word of God. The same is true of all mankind (Acts 17:30). Romans 11:1-2 and 19-23 plainly teach that God CUT OFF Israel because of immorality and unbelief; but ANYBODY, Gentile or Jew alike, will be grafted back into God’s tree as His people BY FAITH.

Acts 10:34 states: “…God is no respecter of persons.” Romans 10:12 states: “For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek…” Jews are no better, or worse, than anyone else. To teach that Jews are special, and should be treated better than other people, goes contrary to the Scriptures… “My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons.” Christians are commanded to love Arabs as much as Jews. God now basically  hasn’t defended Israel since the Old Testament, because of their sin and rebellion… “Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up a cry or prayer for them: for I will not hear them in the time that they cry unto me for their trouble” (Jeremiah 11:14).  Christ-rejecting Jews are NOT God’s people; but believing Arabs ARE God’s people. Any Gentile who believes the Gospel (death, burial and resurrection) of Jesus Christ is saved and God’s people according to Romans 11:1-2,19-23 and Galatians 3:26-29. The only thing Christians should be praying for today concerning Israel is that they would repent toward God from their unbelief and get saved. Israel is a wicked nation today, where there is no religious freedom. There is nothing in the Bible which teaches that the Church is expected to financially support heathen Israel, or assist Israel in any capacity. God promised to regather and restore Israel at the Second Coming of Christ, and not before. Galatians 3:28-29, “There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.” These Scriptures plainly teach that only those who are in Jesus Christ by faith are Abraham’s seed according to promise. This is why nearly all Jews today reject the New Testament. It matters not whether you are Jew or Gentile, free or imprisoned, male or female… we are all one in Christ Jesus! Followers of Judaism openly reject Jesus as the Christ and are therefore of the Devil. God blesses those who do good unto those who are in Christ by faith. Galatians 3:26, “For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.”

The New Testament teaches that Christians are to focus on the heavenly Jerusalem, not the earthly one (John 4:21, Galatians 4:24-28, Hebrews 12:18-24). We are told in Hebrews 11:13-16 that even Abraham has no further interest in a restored Jewish state on earth, because he is in a much better place in Heaven

.

Romans 3:1 What advantage then has the Jew, or what is the profit of circumcision? 2 Much in every way! Chiefly because to them were committed the oracles of God. 3 For what if some did not believe? Will their unbelief make the faithfulness of God without effect? 4 Certainly not! Indeed, let God be true but every man a liar. As it is written: “That You may be justified in Your words, And may overcome when You are judged.”

 .

The advantage of being Jewish was that they were the first to hear the gospel of Salvation, healing, deliverance, redemption. But being Jewish in no way insures that one will avail himself of the blessing available “in Christ.” “The promises” are only “in Christ” Galatians 3:16  Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.  Acts 13:46 Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold and said, it was necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing you put it from you and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles

 .

Today, we also are still blessed through the Jewish race because through them  we also now have  the full Word of God, Jesus Christ and the New Testament…

.

For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ; for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth; to the Jew first and also to the Greek (Romans 1:16). Tribulation and anguish upon every soul of man that doeth evil, to the Jew first and also to the Gentile (Romans 2:9). …glory, honour and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first and also to the Gentile (Romans 2:10).

.

In Romans 2:25-29, Paul tells us that being Jewish and being circumcised are now both a matter of the heart. Also, in Philippians 3:3; For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the (Jewish) flesh.

.

1Co 15:27-28, For He (the Father) has put all things under His (Christ’s) feet. But when He (the Father) saith all things are put under Him (Christ) it is manifest that He (the Father) is excepted which did put all things under Him (Christ). And when all things shall be subdued unto Him (Christ) then shall the Son also Himself be subject unto Him (the Father) that put all things under Him (Christ) that God (the Father) may be all in all.

.

Still every religion in the world including Judaism and most of those too who claim to be Christians have devised some plan of their own, their own selected verses, gospel version, by which they can praise themselves, use their own efforts to become righteousness. The Bible still does teaches that a man cannot earn his own salvation cause he was born a sinner–and not just in the New Testament. Ecclesiastes 7:20 teaches: “For there is not a just man upon the earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not.” Solomon also had  said, “for there is no man that sinneth not” (I Kings 8:46).

.

Therefore, no man can achieve perfect righteousness. As a result, all men including Jews are under a curse. Deuteronomy 27:26, after the giving of the law, states, “Cursed be he that confirmeth not all the words of this law to do them. And all the people shall say, Amen.” Notice, the man who does not do all the words of this law is said to be cursed. Yet, all men fail in the law at some point. David said of mankind, “They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one” (Psalm 14:3).

.

The Jewish Apostle Paul declared, “Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved” (Romans 10:1). He further testified, “I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart. For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh” (Romans 9:2-3). Apostle Paul knew that each individual must accept or reject Jesus Christ on their own. “Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned everyone to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all: (Isaiah 53:4-6).

.

The Apostle Paul reveals to us at the end of Romans 2 and also in Galatians 3, that the promise was not many descendants but One descendant. “The promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. The Scripture does not say “and to seeds,” meaning many people, but “and to your seed,” meaning one person, who is Christ. ” ( Galatians 3:16 ) So we can conclude that no one has ever become a heir of God’s promise by natural birth as the Jews assumed. Before Christ, Old Testament saints were justified by faith in God’s promised Messiah. After Jesus, we are justified through Faith in Christ. Heirs of the promise are those who are of the spiritual seed of Abraham, and are justified by faith. ( Romans 4:16 )

.

So Abraham “believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness” (Genesis 15:6).

The problem of the Jew is that even though through Judaism he is demanded a perfectly righteous life, what God requires, he still cannot live it and next he cannot enter into heaven as a direct result even. Their Jewish religion, Judaism has not and will not given them peace or eternal life.

And still all Jews who reject Christ are liars (Rev. 3:9) and are “enemies of the gospel” (Rom. 11:28) — and Christians should  “beware of the leaven”  (teachings)  of modern Judaism (Mark 8:5) Jews of Israel Talmudic Judaism are mostly evil and corruptive and therefore even now really cannot possibly beany longer God’s chosen people.

And if ye be Christ?s, then are ye Abraham?s seed, and heirs according to the promise.

God now did not cast out all the Jews, most of them but not all, for originally all Jesus Apostles were Jews and they had become saved Christians. “Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace” (Romans 11:5).Matthew 7:26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: Romans 9:27 Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved:

The Fundamental Dispensationalists Christians are the still  biggest false supporters of Christian Zionism today and are also still one the biggest haters of the full work of the Holy Spirit, biggest opposition to the Full Gospel and  not surprisingly even today too It is interesting here that many expositors falsely leave out the holy spirit in the definition of a Christian, very likely cause they do not even not him and are not holy spirit filled. Nor can you basically see the evidence of the Holy Sprit, his operations, gifts in their lives.. a real close examination will reveal it is simply not there.. so they really are still not real Christians.

.

Now the Holy Spirit’s presence is from the first chapter of Genesis to the last chapter of Revelation. The Holy Spirit is not new to the pages of Scripture; He plays a vital role in God’s plan of redemption, from creation to eternity. In Genesis 1:2, the Spirit of God, the Holy Spirit, hovered over the formless void of creation. In the last chapter of Revelation, the Holy Spirit invites humanity to partake in God’s redemption (Revelation 22:17) The Holy Spirit, along with the Son and Father are co-equal, or One God in Three Persons, sharing a single Divine essence or being. The term coined to describe this relationship is Trinity, although the word Trinity is not in the Bible, the term best describes the nature of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. One God, revealed in three persons.. Both Old and New Testaments testify to the divinity of the Holy Spirit, that He is not merely a force of God, but God Himself. AND IF YOU ARE NOT baptized WITH THE holy spirit YOU ARE REALLY NOT A CHRISTIAN.

.

We  rightfully are Christians and not  Jews , we obey Jesus Christ and not the rules of Judaism.Regardless or how ever, the liars cannot neglect the Holy Spirit filling as being part of any Christian’s personal life; and is God’s only way of Salvation now too. And that was why the religious Jews tried to Kill even Apostle Paul and persecuted falsely all of the Christians, Apostles too.

.

Yes the word “Christ” comes from Christos, a Greek word meaning “anointed.”. So, to be the Christ, it is to be “the anointed one of God.” This act of anointing also still emphasized that it was God himself who had filled the person with the Holy Spirit and had ordained the person , and equipped them him power and authority to act as his representative.

.

The Apostles and early Christians may have attended the Synagogues from the first but they all clearly next had abandoned them as they all gave up Judaism, and their Jewish faith, they now next did not go to the Synagogue anymore and started their own home meetings house to house.. .

 .

In the eyes of God, who shows no partiality, both Israel and Palestinians are both equally guilty of murder… never mind the false justifications; We cannot basically support either side as totally in the right now too.

.
(Rom 10:1 KJV) Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. 2 For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. 3 For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.;

 .

Too many American pastors are still falsely dismissive of all Arab Christians in Israel Should Christians treat the Israeli-Palestinian dispute differently than other conflicts even because Christians are involved? Yes, of Course . Many Christians world wide do now support a two-state solution and creation of a new Palestinian state that includes the vast majority of the West Bank. They support justice for both Israelis and Palestinians. Even Heaven awaits the Jewish return TO God, Jesus Christ, and rather NOT TO THE PROMISED EARTHLY LAND;

.

The New Testament Scriptures makes it now certain that the national restoration of Israel after the flesh is not a part of the revealed will of God, but that the reverse is true. God regards natural Israel earthly kingdom with utter detestation, and He will never restore it, Next when John the Baptist preached to the Jewish people, saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand,” he was not announcing the setting up again of the earthly throne of David for Israel as many Jews, some professing Christians falsely hoped, believe it would happen again. It is unbelievable, undeniable that the professing Christian people who do not know the Bible can be so easily deceived, led astray too by many others, bad pastors and Jewish persons, Zionists included.. “Not one verse, prophecy  in Scripture promises exist in the New Testament too  that unbelieving Jews can occupy God’s holy land in unbelief. Not one verse, prophecy clearly says that God will allow an unbelieving nation of Jews into Palestine and convert all of them later.

.

Romans 9:27 Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved:

.

Romans 11:5 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.

 .

The Messianic Jews law teachers, false law enforcers, false teachers also  now too that have existed even in the first churches rather they are so falsely convinced of the importance of their mission of now even imposing the Mosaic law on Gentile believers that they tend to have no time or interest for, and they do not lift a finger to help carry, the burdens of the Christians. Instead of loving one another, these false zealots for the law even now do Provoke us, too often bash us, even hate us. Matthew 7:16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? … 20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

 .

Luke 13:35 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: and verily I say unto you, Ye shall not see me, until the time come when ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.

.
Acts 1:20 For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be desolate, and let no man dwell therein: and his bishoprick let another take.

.

Only Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6) and that there is no other salvation but through him. The saints are described in Revelation as those who “hold to the testimony of Jesus.”

Christian attitudes towards drugs, smoking and alcohol

 

 

The key Christian teaching in relation to the use of drugs. alcohol and smoking  is that the physical body is the natural home of the soul, and is therefore precious and sacred.

 

Your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit. 1 Corinthians 6:19

 

So Christians do not approve of the taking of illegal drugs, including  recreational drugs, all  those which can alter the mind and make people incapable of praying or being alert to God.

 

Christians will take prescription drugs when appropriate.

 

Alcohol, tobacco and pot are examples of recreational drugs which are Forbidden to Christians

And the undeniable brain damage by the use of bad drugs, and alcohol is irreversible

 

The widespread abuse of drugs, narcotics , alcohol are linked to virtually every evil and criminal activity within our society including adultery, murder.  If any person has genuinely become a “new creature in Christ” the Bible says that old things are supposed to pass away… that all things should become new (2 Cor. 5:17). Therefore, every believer should seek to put on the new creation of Christ, and to put off the old life, including the continued use of mind altering drugs,narcotics, alcohol and smoking .

 

Revelation 21:8 “But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”

 

  Drugs have a Proven Connection with Sorcery and Witchcraft  According to W.E. Vine’s expository dictionary of New Testament Words (page 1074), the word SORCERY comes from a Greek word, PHARMAKIA – used as a noun, it “signifies a sorcerer,” one who uses drugs, potions, spells, enchantments, as in Rev. 21:8.

 

The English word for drugs, pharmacy, comes from this same root. Drugs and potions have traditionally been used in witchcraft and satanic rituals to induce deeper subconscious states which enable persons to have fellowship and communication with demons. Realizing the satanic relationship with drug use helps us to understand why abusers of drugs experience such bondage and depravation. No where in the Bible or in history have drugs been used to bring people closer to God – they have always been used in relation to bringing people closer to evil powers and demonic influences.

 

And   alcohol, drugs are continually linked with the headlines of Death, Robbery and Destruction. If this sounds familiar, it should. According to the Bible, these happen to be the identical characteristics of Satan.

 

John 10:10 “The thief [Satan] does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.”

 

1 Corinthians 10:21 “You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons; you cannot partake of the Lord’s table and of the table of demons.”

 

According to the Bible, Christian believers also now are accountable for all that they do

 

The Bible says that we belong to the Lord and we are to glorify Him with our body and with the way we live.

 

1 Corinthians 6:20 For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.

 

1 Corinthians 10:31 Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.

 

Ephesians 5:17-18 “Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is.

 

{18} And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit…”

 

1 Corinthians 3:16-17 “Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?

 

{17} If anyone defiles the temple of God, God will destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, which temple you are.”

 

1 Corinthians 6:12 “All things are lawful for me, but all things are not helpful. All things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.”

grace and truth came by Jesus Christ alone

 

 

John 1:17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.

Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers in her sins, that ye receive not her plagues. For her sins have reached up to heaven and God hath remembered her iniquities. (Rev. 18:4-5)

The first act of Christian cults is to distort the Bible’s original, clear teaching in favor of  the human, personal “revelations” or interpretations. These Cults may emphasize a  few verses in Scripture that seem to support their beliefs but still falsely do deliberately ignore a vast  host  of valid scripture which don’t. The Book of Acts opens with the Christian’s duty to proclaim the good news of salvation first to Jews in Israel and then to the whole world. Yet Christian Zionism is falsely not concerned with evangelism to any of Jews. Christian Zionism is primarily falsely devoted to upholding the right of a nation of Christ-rejecting Jews to occupy Palestine. It is primarily a political, not evangelistic, movement. The apostle Paul said clearly that God’s blessing was promised not to a nation of Abraham’s physical, unbelieving descendants but only to one person, Jesus (Gal. 3:16, 19). In verse 29 he says as a result that all who believe in Jesus Christ -God are children of Abraham and will be the sole ones that receive his blessing.  Jews cannot hope to find peace in a parcel of land in the Middle East; rather, peace for all men can only be found in Jesus Christ.

The Bible clearly says . . .for ye also have suffered like things of your own countrymen among even as they have of the Jews: who both killed the Lord Jesus, and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they please not God, and are contrary to all men: forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they might be saved, to fill up their sins all way: for the wrath is come upon them to the uttermost. (1 Thess. 2:14-16)

“Not one verse in Scripture promises that unbelieving Jews can occupy God’s holy land in unbelief. Not one prophecy clearly says that God will allow an unbelieving nation of Jews into Palestine and convert them later.  Christian Zionism twists a handful of verses, giving them a fleshly, materialistic, unconditional interpretation ignoring God’s spiritual terms of obedience “ WE still do need interpret Scripture in light of the one commandment of God that summarizes all other commandments, love for God and for all our neighbors.”

The prevailing version of American Christian Zionism,  CHRISTIAN” ZIONISM IS A CULT, and  their  belief system that falsely even underwrites, supports the theft of Palestinian land and the ongoing false oppression of Palestinian people, falsely escalates, helps create the conditions for an explosion of violence, and the violation of  universal human rights. In all of these,. Christian Zionism as it currently stands is sinful and produces more sin.  Cults do not produce fruits of wisdom, love, righteousness and justice but lead their followers into service of evil.  “ “Jesus, as a prophet and our Lord and  Savior, also had already prophesied that Jerusalem would be destroyed because they still did not know the practices that make for peace.” “As people who live under the divine authority of Holy Scripture, faithful disciples of our Lord, Jesus Christ, we believe that it is important that we carefully examine and, when necessary, critique, the teaching of any movement that claims to speak on Christ’s behalf when there is evidence that such teaching is negatively impacting the lives of our neighbors.”

Christian Zionism” is used to refer to the beliefs that many Christian conservatives have which insist that the state of Israel be supported at all costs because this is a necessary condition for the return of Jesus Christ.  Christian Zionism makes Christians the servants of wicked men. Taught to bless Israel no matter what, Christians become callous and depraved toward the Arabs, whom God loves as much as Jews. It “creates a false image of Christianity, one that is militant, western, and Zionist.”

What precedent exists in Scripture to falsely support, hold up 17 million non-Christian Jews today as beyond criticism? None! Scripture contains no example of exalting even one righteous Jew or Gentile beyond reproof! Christian Zionism thus not only flagrantly omits Scripture it doesn’t like; it creates a false obligation to bless the wicked just because they are Jewish. This is a perverse, even a racist, violation of the commandment in the book of James not to show favoritism to persons. This is a spiritual perversion. God does even now hates it.

“The New Testament describes Christ-rejecting Jews as dry, withered, castaway branches, devoid of special covenant protection. Jesus affirmed such withered branches, both Jew and Gentile, are “burned” by God (John 15:5-6). He said those who say they are Jews but reject Him are not true Jews at all (Rev. 3:9). Paul says such “children of the flesh” are not the seed of Abraham (Rom. 9:6-8) but are “broken off” (Rom. 11:19).”

All   Jews who reject Christ are liars (Rev. 3:9) and are “enemies of the gospel” (Rom. 11:28)—and  Christians should “beware of the leaven” (teachings) of modern Judaism (Mark 8:5) Jews of Israel Talmudic Judaism  are mostly evil and corruptive and therefore even now really cannot possibly beany longer  God’s chosen people. Christian Zionists feel falsely obligated to protect even the vilest supremacist Jews of which there are much much too many from investigation, criticism, or exposure

John 18:36 Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.

Christian Zionists love to play and replay Ps. 122:6: “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.” Yet you will never hear from their lips that Christ calls Jerusalem “Sodom and Egypt where our Lord was crucified” (Rev. 3:9), But Israel is still portrayed more than 80 times in the Old Testament as the “mother” of spiritual adultery in the world. The whole book of Hosea and much of Ezekiel dramatize this unique distinction

Christian Zionists love to quote passages describing the Jews’ special covenant, such as Genesis 12:1, 14-15, 15:18, 22:17. They falsely do infer that God wants Jewish safety and blessing as a top world priority and falsely claim these verses grant Jews, in any moral condition, perpetual rights to occupy Palestine. This is hardly what the Bible teaches. God says Jews inherited covenantal rights only because of Abraham’s obedience, an obedience they must duplicate in order to also inherit (Gen. 18:19, 26:4-5). This condition is clearly present in Deuteronomy 7:12 and 28:1-2: 

if ye harken to these judgments and keep and do them. . .the Lord thy God shall keep unto thee the covenant and the mercy which He swore unto thy fathers.

if thou shalt harken diligently unto the voice of the Lord thy God to observe and do all His commandments…all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou but harken unto the voice of the Lord… (see also Hebrews 8:8,9)

There are   dozens of clearest warnings to the ancient Hebrews that they cannot enter the land except in obedience and that if they are rebellious God will throw them out? Or that, once in exile, they can never come back except they obey? Here are only several:

[if you shall corrupt yourselves]…I call heaven and earth to witness against you that ye shall soon utterly perish from off the land . . .and the Lord shall scatter you among the nations… (Deut. 4:25-27).

[Conversely, when exiled Jews] return to the Lord thy God. . .the Lord thy God will turn their captivity. . .and gather them from all the nations. . . (Deut. 30:1-3)

““Christian Zionism” is not authentic Christianity. It is devoted to a single monstrous heresy: that wicked Jews can reoccupy God’s holy land, a region of the earth originally set aside by Him to signify heaven. It rejects God’s command that His church not be unequally yoked with one of the vilest, most arrogant and oppressive systems of all time. “

And Galatians 3:16 Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.

Galatians 3:26-29 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. And if ye be Christ?s, then are ye Abraham?s seed, and heirs according to the promise.

Both the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church (USA) and the Synod of the Reformed Church of America have taken stands against this movement called Christian Zionism

Why should Christians involve themselves with the deeds of a Jewish  people who are still the “enemies” of the cross, blinded by God and in a state of curse?    What Paul had now also taught us all was that ‘Jew’ , Jewish Nation didn’t mean anything to God over anyone else. Even John the Baptist told the priests not to puff themselves up by invoking the name of Abraham, because God could make children of Abraham from stones! The promises were broken by the people, not by God. God is fulfilling all his promises to the true faithful of Israel today, The Christians. And they are all who have accepted Jesus as Messiah, whether Jewish by race or non-Jewish. Israel is more than a plot of land, it is a people of God- true Christians. .

The word which God sent unto the children of Israel firstly

 

Acts 10:36 The word which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all:)

 Deuteronomy 9:1 Hear, O Israel: Thou art to pass over Jordan this day, to go in to possess nations greater and mightier than thyself, cities great and fenced up to heaven,

 Deuteronomy 11:23 then the LORD will drive out all these nations before you, and you will dispossess nations larger and stronger than you.

1 Corinthians 15:56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.

Numbers 14:24  “But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and hath followed Me fully, him will I bring into the land whereinto he went; and his seed shall possess it.”

Hebrews 8: 8 For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah.. 10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:

There was one occasion after the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 AF by the Romans when the Jews were able to formulate plans to rebuild their temple. The man behind this project was the Roman Emperor, Flavius Claudius Julianus, a nephew of Constantine – also known as Julian the Apostate because of his opposition to Christianity. Julian planned the project in the last year of his reign in A.D. 363. Julian rescinded all the anti-Jewish laws that his uncle Constantine had instituted. He issued an edict that the Temple be rebuilt in Jerusalem. This caused a great deal of excitement among the Jews. From far and wide, Jews came to Jerusalem to help in the rebuilding work. Julian supplied the necessary funds and appointed Alypius of Antioch, the Roman Governor of Great Britain, to carry out the project. Jews from all over gave from their wealth upon the projected work of rebuilding the Temple. The roads to Jerusalem were filled with multitudes of Jewish men and women who had hopes of seeing a Third Temple built.  Then sudden tragedy struck. The foundations of the Second Temple were barely uncovered when flames of fire burst forth from under the ground. The flames were accompanied by large explosions.  The workmen fled and the building was stopped, never again to be restarted. Many believed that the explosion and fire were a demonstration of the anger of God. With their hopes dashed, the Jews were then driven into Exile and became wanderers in foreign lands. “. These, and others, failed to realize that it was God who had scattered the Jewish people…

Zechariah 4:6 Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.

Romans 9: 1    I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost, 2    That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart. 3    For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh: 4    Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises; 5    Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen. 6    Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel: 7    Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called. 8    That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed.

25    As he saith also in Osee, I will call them my people, which were not my people; and her beloved, which was not beloved. 26    And it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people; there shall they be called the children of the living God. 27    Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved: 28    For he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth. 29    And as Esaias said before, Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, we had been as Sodoma, and been made like unto Gomorrha. 30    What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith. 31    But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness. 32    Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone; 33    As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

John 18:36 Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.

I Corinthians 15:19  “If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.”

I Corinthians 2:9 “But as it was written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him,”

Now  the Holy Spirit’s presence is from the first chapter of Genesis to the last chapter of Revelation.  The Holy Spirit is not new to the pages of Scripture; He plays a vital role in God’s plan of redemption, from creation to eternity.  In Genesis 1:2, the Spirit of God, the Holy Spirit, hovered over the formless void of creation. In the last chapter of Revelation, the Holy Spirit invites humanity to partake in God’s redemption (Revelation 22:17)  The Holy Spirit, along with the Son and Father are co-equal, or One God in Three Persons, sharing a single Divine essence or being. The term coined to describe this relationship is Trinity, although the word Trinity is not in the Bible, the term best describes the nature of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. One God, revealed in three persons..Both Old and New Testaments testify to the divinity of the Holy Spirit, that He is not merely a force of God, but God Himself. AND IF YOU ARE NOT baptized WITH THE holy spirit YOU ARE REALLY NOT A CHRISTIAN

In the New Testament, the Greek word for Spirit is pneu’ma Pneuma, which like the Hebrew is derived from the meaning of wind or breath.  The Holy Spirit is also called to as the Comforter or Helper, translated from the Greek word, paravklhtoß Parakletos, meaning one who comes alongside to plead the case before the judge (John 14:16,26;15:26).  He is also called the Spirit of Jesus (Phil. 1:19).

 In the New Testament, the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of God, knows all things and dwells in those who believe.  10 But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. 11 For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God. I Corinthians 2:10-11

The epistle of Jude was written to “them that are sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ and [to them that are] called.” Jude 1. For what main purpose was this epistle written? To ” . . . exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.” Verse 3.

With what are we to contend? Well, Jude said, there are ungodly men who creep in unawares, “turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.” Verse 4. and  who are  trying to reach heaven by their own works even in keeping the law, is attempting the impossible in his own strength to obtain eternal salvation, those who try to use their own strength to accomplish ANY OF  the heavenly will.

Jude continues in verses 11 and 12: “Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core [Korah].” (Korah, Dathan and Abiram rebelled against the authority of Moses and caused rebellion in the Israelite camp. Jude describes ungodly men further in verse 12 as, “spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots.” James talks about them as people who are unstable, double-minded. (See James 1:8.) Proverbs 14:12 and Proverbs 16:25 talk about such ungodly men: “There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.” Proverbs 21:2 states, “Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the Lord pondereth the hearts.” And in Proverbs 30:12 it describes not merely a person or an individual who thinks this way, but it even talks about a generation: “There is a generation that are pure in their “. . .Put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of Him that created him:” Colossians 3:10 own eyes, and yet is not washed from their filthiness.” We are part of the final generation for whom the warning in I Corinthians 10:12 was given: “Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.”

“. . .Put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of Him that created him:” Colossians 3:10 

“I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave Himself for me.” Galatians 2:20

“The Lord looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God. They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one.” Psalm 14:2-3

“But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.” II Timothy 3:13

Ecclesiastes 12: 1 Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them;

“Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.” Romans 6:6

“Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:” Colossians 3:5

“no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the Kingdom of Christ and of God.” Ephesians 5:5

Those who refuse to  to die to self,  have refused to put off the old man, Because of this, the new man created in righteousness and true holiness, thus cannot come forth. “For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.” Romans 2:28-29 .

Personal Salvation, eternal life, is through Jesus Christ and not Judaism

 

Jews are a nation. Now there is a related religion called Judaism, a set of ideas about the world and the way we should live our lives that is called “Judaism.” It is studied in Religious Studies courses and taught to Jewish children in Hebrew schools. It is in direct conflict with Christianity even as Jesus, the Apostles had rejected Judiasm..

.

“Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews” (John 4:22).  Abraham “believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness” (Genesis 15:6).  “

1    What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit is there of circumcision? 2    Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God.3    For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect? (Rom.3:1-2).

But “He came unto his own, and his own received him not” (John 1:11).  “For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God” (Romans 10:2-3). “Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know;  him being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain” (Acts 2:22-23).

“Lord, thou art God, which hast made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all that in them is: Who by the mouth of thy servant David hast said, Why did the heathen rage, and the people imagine vain things? The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord, and against his Christ. For of a truth against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the people of Israel, were gathered together, For to do whatsoever thy hand and thy counsel determined before to be done” (Acts 4:24-28).

Romans 9: 1    I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost, 2    That I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart. 3    For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh:4    Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises. 5    Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen. 6    Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel: 7    Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called. 8    That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed. …  27    Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved: 28    For he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth. 29    And as Esaias said before, Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, we had been as Sodoma, and been made like unto Gomorrha. 30    What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith. 31    But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness. 32    Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumbling stone; 33    As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumbling stone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

The oracles of God were His spoken and written words. In other words, God’s word has come to man through the Jews. Even the New Testament was written by Jews.To Israel was given the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the law, the service of God, the promises and the fathers. Although God’s  gifts were initially to Israel, next now all mankind has benefitted through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. “he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham” (Hebrews 2:16). Notice he is described as coming from the seed of Abraham, not the seed of the Jews, Issac.. Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift” (II Cor.9:15).

Acts 3:25 Ye are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying unto Abraham, And in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed.

The problem of the Jew is that even though through Judaism he is demanded a perfectly righteous life, what God requires, he still cannot live it and next he cannot enter into  heaven as a direct result even. Their Jewish religion, Judaism  has not and will not given them peace or eternal life.

2 Corinthians 5:  10    For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. 11    Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences. 12    For we commend not ourselves again unto you, but give you occasion to glory on our behalf, that ye may have somewhat to answer them which glory in appearance, and not in heart. 13    For whether we be beside ourselves, it is to God: or whether we be sober, it is for your cause. 14    For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead: 15    And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again. 16    Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more.  17    Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 18    And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; 19    To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. 20    Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God. 21    For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

“Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee; Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless” (Philippians 3:5-6). Yet Apostle Paul still did not trust in his own Jewish religion and related righteousness . In fact, he said that, “what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ” (Philippians 3:7). He counted all things but loss that he might win Christ and “be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith” (Philippians 3:9).

God now did not cast out all the Jews, most of them but not all,  for originally all Jesus Apostles were Jews and they had become saved Christians. “Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace” (Romans 11:5).Matthew 7:26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: Romans 9:27 Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved:

“That if thou confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation…For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved” (Romans 10:9-10,13).

Those who reject Christ will be condemned, again regardless of their ethnic heritage even if it a Jewish one now.

Romans 4:13 For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.

16 Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all,

Romans 9:7 Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called.

Romans 11:1 I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.

Galatians 3:16 Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.

Hebrews 2”16 For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham.

“Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved” (Romans 10:1). He further testified, “I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart. For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh” (Romans 9:2-3). Apostle Paul knew that each individual and every Jew included now must accept or reject Jesus Christ on their own

In recent years, much h material  have been written, posted on the net  on the subject of anti-Semitism by Messianic Jews  Most of those these Messianic material falsely now blames the Church for its still present supposedly  hostile and false teachings which encouraged ignorant devotees to harass, and even to violently assault Jews in the name of Christ and his church. The reality is that The messianic Jews are to blame in their false adulterous Jewish-Christian Religion that most of them wrongfully do hold. We  rightfully are Christians are Jews , we obey Jesus Christ and not the rules of Judaism.

The Jews were as a whole nation  undeniable by their own claims, actions are culpable for crucifying and rejecting  Jesus Christ as their Messiah – as such they are guilty of his murder too

The tribulations of the Jewish people throughout history constitute God’s punishment of them for their false rejection of their Jesus Christ the Messiah

Jesus originally came to preach only to the Jews, but when they rejected him, he and the Apostles had abandoned them for gentiles instead

The Children of Israel were God’s original chosen people by virtue of an ancient covenant, but by rejecting Jesus they forfeited their chosenness – and now, by virtue of a New Covenant (or “testament”), Christians have replaced the Jews as God’s chosen people, the Church having become the “People of God.”

The Jewish Bible itself now (the  “Old Testament”) repeatedly portrays the opaqueness and stubbornness of the Jewish people and their disloyalty to God.

The Jewish Bible (the  “Old Testament”) contains many predictions of the coming of Jesus as the Messiah (or “Christ”), yet the Jews are blind to the meaning of their own Bible.

By the time of 100 AD , Judaism had ceased to be a living , valid National faith.

Judaism’s essence is a false, restrictive and burdensome legalism that is inapplicable for anyone today

Christianity emphasizes excessive love and forgiveness  while Judaism emphasizes an eye for an eye retribution

Judaism’s present  oppressiveness is identical  the disposition of Jesus’ false opponents called “Pharisees” (predecessors of the “rabbis”), who in their teachings and behavior were also tagged as  hypocrites 

As a direct result

“The children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” (Matthew 8.12)

“O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets and stonest them that are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!  Behold your house is left unto you desolate.” (Matthew 23.37,38) Then answered all the people (Jews) and said, “His blood be on us and on our children” (Matthew 27:25). 1 “But take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you to councils, and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten” (Mark 13.9)

“He that believeth not shall be damned” (Mark 16.16)

“Ye are of your father the devil and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him.  When he speaks a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar and the father of it.  And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.  Which of you convinceth me of sin?  And I say the truth, why do you not believe me?  He that is of God heareth God’s words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God” (John 8.43-47)

“Stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so you do.  Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? and they have slain them which showed before of the coming of the Just One; of whom ye have been now the betrayers and murderers” (Acts 7.51-53)

“It was necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing you put it from you and judge yourself unworthy of everlasting life, we turn to the Gentiles” (Acts 13.45-51)

“For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision: whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre’s sake … wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith; not giving heed to Jewish fables and commandments of men, that turn from the truth.” (Titus 1.10-14).

“The Jews, who both killed the Lord Jesus and their own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they please not God and are contrary to all men: forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they might be saved, to fill up their sins always: for the wrath is come upon them to the uttermost.” (l Thessalonians 2.14-16)

“Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ?  He is an antichrist, that denieth the father and the son.  Whoever denieth the son, the same hath not the father” (l John 2.22,23)

“I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan  …” (Revelation 2.9,10)

“Behold I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews and are not but do lie; behold I will make them to come and worship before thy feet…” (Revelation 3.9);

do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.

 

PRAY FOR THOSE OF THE HOUSEHOLD OF FAITH FIRST. THE CHRISTIANS.  Galatians 6:10 As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.

 

(Eph 6:11 KJV)  Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12  For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14  Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15  And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16  Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.17  And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:  18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

 

I AM OF THE RIGHTFUL OPINION THAT EVERYONE EVERYDAY, ALWAYS HAS TO BE 100 PERCENT SOLD OUT TO GOD, MY LORD JESUS CHRIST and none of this is  optional..

 

And one cannot hold on to any false, pet doctrines, pet goals, personal desires, for  still doing anything one ‘s way is really bad and leads, will lead to loads of personal problems, hardships as well now.. for if you give the devil even one inch of your life he will take ten thousand miles of it next still too..

 

And I love Israel still  has nothing to do with the reality that they the Jews are no longer entitled to claim the Promised land after Jesus kicked them out again or that most of the Jews will not go to Heaven      Romans 2 6 Who will render to every man according to his deeds: 7 To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life: 8 But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath, 9 Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile; 10 But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile: 11 For there is no respect of persons with God.

 

God in love is not an Ostrich and he does not still lead people to avoid the reality, such as their need for personal salvation,  nor does he God allow people to live in lies though such as the lies of Judaisms is a valid religion,  cause if they and other tend to have such major Biblical errors they likely are not even real Christians, Holy Spirit led firstly still..

 

God and I love Arabs, Palestinians, Russians, Jews , Chinese, Koreans, American, Germans, etc., yes everyone and do you also or do you like to show false partialities?

or favoritism? such as I love Israel only?

 

Both the Old and New Testaments clearly indicate that God does not show partiality among the people, since He is the Creator of all.16 Because of this principle, the Jews too were commanded to be impartial. .”So I also have made you despised and abased before all the people, just as you are not keeping My ways but are showing partiality in the instruction. “Do we not all have one father? Has not one God created us? Why do we deal treacherously each against his brother so as to profane the covenant of our fathers? (Malachi 2:9-10) “Now then let the fear of the LORD be upon you; be very careful what you do, for the LORD our God will have no part in unrighteousness or partiality or the taking of a bribe.” (2 Chronicles 19:7)

 

Being chosen now for the Jews did not always bring great blessings, since the Jews were held to a higher level of accountability, and were judged for their failures.

 

The Bible makes it clear that God does not show partiality, since He created all people. He commands His people to behave likewise. The Jews now also still are not the center of the Bible as Jesus Christ is .

 

 The whole Bible is about the coming of Jesus Christ on earth as well as his supreme rulership now too. Jesus often rebuked the Jewish leaders for bringing false doctrines into the beliefs of the  Jews,  Israelites by promoting traditions that “made the commandments of God of none effect.”  “Thus you have made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition. Matthew 15:6

 

 Acts 10 28 And he said unto them, Ye know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of another nation; but God hath shewed me that I should not call any man common or unclean. 29 Therefore came I unto you without gainsaying, as soon as I was sent for: I ask therefore for what intent ye have sent for me? 30 And Cornelius said, Four days ago I was fasting until this hour; and at the ninth hour I prayed in my house, and, behold, a man stood before me in bright clothing, 31 And said, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and thine alms are had in remembrance in the sight of God. 32 Send therefore to Joppa, and call hither Simon, whose surname is Peter; he is lodged in the house of one Simon a tanner by the sea side: who, when he cometh, shall speak unto thee. 33 Immediately therefore I sent to thee; and thou hast well done that thou art come. Now therefore are we all here present before God, to hear all things that are commanded thee of God. 34 Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: 35 But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him. 36 The word which God sent unto the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ: (he is Lord of all: 37 That word, I say, ye know, which was published throughout all Judaea, and began from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached; 38 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him. 39 And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree: 40 Him God raised up the third day, and shewed him openly;

 

In reality, “the Bible says that the Jews were selected to be a blessing to all the nations of the world. In fact, the same Bible now that says that God chose the Jews also says that God does not show partiality and commands the Jews also still to  to love other peoples. The Old Testament indicates that the Jews were not at all prospered because of their righteousness, since they were “a stubborn people.”

 

 Yes ” One the ways that the Jews were chosen to be a blessing to all the peoples of the earth was that the Messiah was to be born through the line of David. and yet the rejected Him so why should I be surprised if they now also do hate me too.. John 15:18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. Being chosen as the people through whom God would send the Messiah was no walk in the park for the Jews. God expected His chosen people to strictly follow His moral laws and not follow the evil ways of their neighbors. Now because they failed to be faithful to God, the Jews were scattered among the nations, where they “profaned the name of the Lord.” even had spent 70 year exile in Babylon. Now Salvation is NOT “of the Jews” directly but indirectly by Jesus Christ alone now… And that is why it’s falsely Against the Law in Israel to Convert to Christianity (Evangelical soul-winning is illegal)

 

The clearly stated Biblical need of all persons, even Jews to be personally saved by Jesus Christ is undeniable. John 3:3… “Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” Carefully notice that Jesus spoke this to Nicodemus, a Jew, who was a religious leader over the JEWS. Every lost sinner must be born-again if they want to go to Heaven? 2nd Thessalonians 1:8 applies to everyone.

 

2 Thessalonians 1: 1    Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, unto the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: 2    Grace unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 3    We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because that your faith groweth exceedingly, and the charity of every one of you all toward each other aboundeth; 4    So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye endure: 5    Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer: 6    Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you; 7    And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, 8    In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: 9    Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; 10    When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day. 11    Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power: 12    That the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and ye in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ

 

 

Mark 12

30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.  31  And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.

 

Romans 13

9 For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

 

1 John 3

14 We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death.

 

17 But whoso hath this world’s good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?

 

1 John 4

20 If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?

 

21 And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.

 

All Persons not fully sold out to God cannot expect all of their prayers, needs now to be  answered, supplied. Love God and love others, all other things will fall into their place.. JESUS CHRIST IS THE MASTER KEY AND NOT PRAYER ALONE. Prayer still will only work for you if you have no unconfessed major sins in your life.

if God still demands tithes he would demand also we also give still animal sacrifices

2 Corinthians 9 7 Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.

.

2 Corinthians 8: 1 Moreover, brethren, we do you to wit of the grace of God bestowed on the churches of Macedonia; 2 How that in a great trial of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded unto the riches of their liberality. 3 For to their power, I bear record, yea, and beyond their power they were willing of themselves; 4 Praying us with much intreaty that we would receive the gift, and take upon us the fellowship of the ministering to the saints. 5 And this they did, not as we hoped, but first gave their own selves to the Lord, and unto us by the will of God. Any demands today  for tithing is all crap   posted by Bible ignorant persons who listens to the garbage of others..

.

Romans 15 26 For it hath pleased them of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor saints which are at Jerusalem.

2 Corinthians 9 9 (As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth for ever.

Galatians 2 10 Only they would that we should remember the poor; the same which I also was forward to do.

James 2 3 And ye have respect to him that weareth the gay clothing, and say unto him, Sit thou here in a good place; and say to the poor, Stand thou there, or sit here under my footstool:

5 Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him?

1 Corinthians 13 3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.

.

And first study the Bible for yourself.. did you firstly know that you and your Jewish  family can have a feast, eat the tithe too.. or did you even  know that you have to give 1/7 of the tithe to the local poor people now too.. or did you know that people who receive the tithes were not allowed to own any tangiable properties, such as Land,  houses too?

.

but still tithing that applies only to the old testament Jews.. it does not apply to the new testament Christian or Jewish believers.

.

We Christians were made free from all of the laws demands.. 

.

Most people who ask for tithes are thieves.. the Priests used to steal tithes as indicate in the book of Malachi as well as falsely practise divorce The Book of Malachi was written to them and not us all.. 

.

 Now if God still demands tithes he would demand also we also give still animal sacrifices from the same Book of Malachi..

.

and why did you choose one commandment over the other now? want to get rich?

.

  Malachi 2: 1 And now, O ye priests, this commandment is for you. 2 If ye will not hear, and if ye will not lay it to heart, to give glory unto my name, saith the LORD of hosts, I will even send a curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings: yea, I have cursed them already, because ye do not lay it to heart. 3 Behold, I will corrupt your seed, and spread dung upon your faces, even the dung of your solemn feasts; and one shall take you away with it. 4 And ye shall know that I have sent this commandment unto you, that my covenant might be with Levi, saith the LORD of hosts. 5 My covenant was with him of life and peace; and I gave them to him for the fear wherewith he feared me, and was afraid before my name. 6 The law of truth was in his mouth, and iniquity was not found in his lips: he walked with me in peace and equity, and did turn many away from iniquity. 7 For the priest’s lips should keep knowledge, and they should seek the law at his mouth: for he is the messenger of the LORD of hosts. 8 But ye are departed out of the way; ye have caused many to stumble at the law; ye have corrupted the covenant of Levi, saith the LORD of hosts. 9 Therefore have I also made you contemptible and base before all the people, according as ye have not kept my ways, but have been partial in the law. 10 Have we not all one father? hath not one God created us? why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother, by profaning the covenant of our fathers? 11 Judah hath dealt treacherously, and an abomination is committed in Israel and in Jerusalem; for Judah hath profaned the holiness of the LORD which he loved, and hath married the daughter of a strange god. 12 The LORD will cut off the man that doeth this, the master and the scholar, out of the tabernacles of Jacob, and him that offereth an offering unto the LORD of hosts. 13 And this have ye done again, covering the altar of the LORD with tears, with weeping, and with crying out, insomuch that he regardeth not the offering any more, or receiveth it with good will at your hand. 14 Yet ye say, Wherefore? Because the LORD hath been witness between thee and the wife of thy youth, against whom thou hast dealt treacherously: yet is she thy companion, and the wife of thy covenant. 15 And did not he make one? Yet had he the residue of the spirit. And wherefore one? That he might seek a godly seed. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth. 16 For the LORD, the God of Israel, saith that he hateth putting away: for one covereth violence with his garment, saith the LORD of hosts: therefore take heed to your spirit, that ye deal not treacherously. 17 Ye have wearied the LORD with your words. Yet ye say, Wherein have we wearied him? When ye say, Every one that doeth evil is good in the sight of the LORD, and he delighteth in them; or, Where is the God of judgment? :    Malachi 3: 1 Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the LORD of hosts. 2 But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner’s fire, and like fullers’ sope: 3 And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the LORD an offering in righteousness. 4 Then shall the offering of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant unto the LORD, as in the days of old, and as in former years. 5 And I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against false swearers, and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger from his right, and fear not me, saith the LORD of hosts. 6 For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed. 7 Even from the days of your fathers ye are gone away from mine ordinances, and have not kept them. Return unto me, and I will return unto you, saith the LORD of hosts. But ye said, Wherein shall we return? 8 Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings. 9 Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation.

.

Note * 8 Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings… The priests do the robbing..
