How dare you claim that bunny rabbits are connected with the resurrection from the DEAD of our Lord Jesus Christ! How dare you claim that colored eggs somehow honor the resurrection of the Lord Jesus? Scripture only gives one way to do this: eat this bread and drink this wine in remembrance of me. NO OTHER WAY GIVEN.
How dare you claim that buying new clothes, parades and all such evil has to do with the resurrection of Jesus Christ? How dare you and still claim to be a Christian!
Jesus said, ‘pollute ye my Holy Name no more with your idols’. Best you obey this! Even though I have written many messages on this subject, I felt led of God to write this one more.
Ezekiel 39:7 So will I make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel; and I will not let them pollute my holy name any more: and the heathen shall know that I am the Lord, the Holy One in Israel.
bunny rabbits! Colored eggs? Baskets? Warm weather? And you associate these things with the very most important event in the history of all existence? ….. the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ…. And you pollute this Holy Event with your ungodly idols! Bunny rabbits? How could you? You do so pollute His Holy Name with this idolatrous messy holiday, set up for the goddess of fertility of pagans! You pollute his Holy Name when you say, this is to or about or because of Jesus. Your Xmess is also polluting his Holy Name because you claim Jesus is the reason. Liars you are!
Ezekiel 20:22 Nevertheless I withdrew mine hand, and wrought for my name's sake, that it should not be polluted in the sight of the heathen, in whose sight I brought them forth.
Ezekiel 20:39 As for you, O house of Israel, thus saith the Lord God; Go ye, serve ye every one his idols, and hereafter also, if ye will not hearken unto me: but pollute ye my holy name no more with your gifts, and with your idols. [Your gifts….awha…see your Xmess gifts.]
Hear ye, oh church, pollute my holy name no more with your idols. That is the purpose of this message. God moved on me to write this to you. Sure you ignore my messages, but they will still stand and judge you. For I have not written my own words, but the words of God. You do pollute his holy name with your EASTER BUNNIES, BASKETS, EGGS, and claiming that he died and rose in warm weather.
God made it very clear in his Word that it was COLD. When God says thing more than once or even once, He makes it very clear that this is IMPORTANT. It was COLD. Peter stood by the FIRE THEY HAD MADE TO WARM HIMSELF. It was COLD. Winter time. Your Dec. 25 stuff.
According to Revelation 11, the purpose for your MERRY MAKING AND EXCHANGING GIFTS IS TO CELEBRATE HIS TWO WITNESSES’ DEATH. Jesus was a witness of God. You are actually celebrating his death, along with the death of John, with your IDOLS. Your bunnies, colored eggs, Oh how you do so BELITTLE God with this mess.
YES, YOU DO SO BELITTLE THE DEATH AND RESURRECTION OF JESUS WITH YOUR FOOLISH IDOLS….BUNNIES, EGGS, HIDING AND HUNTING EGGS….. FOOLISH JUNK THAT YOU LINK WITH THE RESURRECTION OF Jesus Christ.
Shame on you, church. Shame on you, fake christians.
Ezekiel 23:30 I will do these things unto thee, because thou hast gone a whoring after the heathen, and because thou art polluted with their idols.
Church, you are polluted with your idols!
Ezekiel 36:18 Wherefore I poured my fury upon them for the blood that they had shed upon the land, and for their idols wherewith they had polluted it:
I dare say that is coming on America right now, due to your polluting his Holy Name with your idols, ‘flying deers’ , fat man, gifts, lies, bunnies, eggs, all in the NAME OF JESUS. SHAME ON YOU.
I say God is fixing to fulfill this on America: Ezekiel 36:18 Wherefore I poured my fury upon them for the blood that they had shed upon the land, and for their idols wherewith they had polluted it:
Zephaniah 3:1 Woe to her that is filthy and polluted, to the oppressing city! This is you, filthy church!
This is what your ‘pastors’ did: Zephaniah 3:4 Her prophets are light and treacherous persons: her priests have polluted the sanctuary, they have done violence to the law.
Yes, with their idols and lies they polluted the sanctuary that you dote so much on. Some of these light and treacherous persons, that you paid to be your pastor, actually held their idolatrous egg hunts right in the church building that they claim is a house of God for worship. So you worshiped the devil right there. Unless you repent, you are all doomed.
Curiously, all these odd customs and symbols do have one thing in common . All these were important symbols in pagan religions that had nothing to do with Christianity ===== most long before the birth, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. So my question to you, why are they associated with Christ?
what a pity, that an entire world, called 'church' engages in exactly all of these idol worship holidays and as the harlot in Proverbs, afterwards wipes her mouth and says I have committed no sin.
Repent or perish! You have been warned; don’t take it lightly. Time is now short.
Paul and Jesus said, do everything according to Scripture. so where is scripture any of your holidays? I know of none. You claim to celebrate the resurrection in the spring, yet scripture clearly shows that Jesus was crucified in the WINTER. If he resurrected three days later, this also HAS TO BE IN COLD WEATHER. WINTER. You claim to celebrate his birth in the winter, but the things you do are recorded as being to celebrate his DEATH...matching that he died in COLD WEATHER. SO YOU HAVE EVERYTHING BACKWARDS ACCORDING TO SCRIPTURE.
there are false prophets..... false teachers...false apostles. Now even the Catholics claim to be apostolic. but are they, really? no resemblance. Now we have another group calling themselves. . . apostolic. But are they? examine them with the word of God; that is what we are commanded to do. So you see they advertise their EGG HUNTS. pretending it has to do with the resurrection of Jesus...... so that is what makes it a big SIN. so did the apostles do this or teach it? I know of no record of such. Let's see; Peter was a main apostle. so.... 3rd Peter 1: 10... go and hide and hunt eggs and have rabbits with baskets, for this glorifies the resurrection of Jesus...we do this in spring but nothing shows that Jesus was born in spring. Paul, another main apostle. 11 paulite: 1: 11... go and do as Peter said, hide eggs and hunt them with rabbits and baskets or you do not like the resurrection of Jesus. There you have it folks....the record of the apostles. so anyone today who takes up this practice is a FALSE APOSTLE. OR FALSE APOSTOLIC CHURCH. they are a disgrace to the name of Jesus Christ. they do liken him to the pagan idol gods of the heathen. Jo Smith.....not afraid to speak the truth.
All of the curses in the Book are under the law. All of the blessings are under the Grace Covenant. So if you go by law and worship an idol you chose the curses. If you reject all idols, such as the holidays, and live by Grace, then you chose the blessings and eternal life.
You can testify all you wish. you can say, I believe in Christ.
You can say, I go to church.
anything and everything....but the one thing that matters, and a ministry that I know of no one else is doing.
You MUST study and learn the WORD OF GOD.
Get to the TRUTH.
but no. folks want their IDOLS. they chose their idols above all else. what idols, they say. they think that because they do not BOW down and pray that the things are not idols.
that is just a tiny part of 'worship'
just admiring a thing is worship.
Just spending your time on it is a form of worship.
they think cause they run to their 'church', and say I believe...that they are assured of heaven. NOT SO.
where do you find a ministry that devotes their time, effort and dealings only on THE TRUE MEANING OF SCRIPTURE?
that is all that matters and all that God will ever accept you for and judge you for. but you love your church idol because it allows you to hold to your other idols
santa
xmess
easter, new years junk, halloween and all the other junk you spend your life on.
but you say, I believe christ....I love christ...i this and that.....but the Word of God means nOTHING TO YOU.
~~ A Substitute for God ~~ Today is Sunday, March 21, 2004. God has laid this message on my heart. I have had this message in my mind a good while, but today I feel very impressed of God to make this into a message. May God be the one who is lifted up and this message be His words and not mine. Glory to His precious, Holy Name. I truly think this is the most deadly and horrible crime of all ages. This is not a crime against a body; human flesh. This is a crime against your soul-- you hope for eternal life. What makes this such a deadly, horrible, hidden crime is it appears to be the very thing one needs in order to be with God; to be worshipping God and to be headed toward eternal life. When in truth it is the very thing which will keep you from true worship, a true relationship with God and to end up with eternal life. Now to lay a background for this message: Lets go back to Cain in the Garden of Eden. He brought an offering to God. He appeared to be ‘worshipping’. He knew God requires a sacrifice. So he made the same mistake Adam had made before him, he brought an animal sacrifice to God. Now I know everyone thinks just the opposite. But let’s let the Word of God show who offered the ‘acceptable’ sacrifice to God. Isa 1:10 Hear the word of the LORD, ye rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah. 1:11 To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the LORD: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats. 1:12 When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to tread my courts? Now God is calling these people Sodom and Gomorrah. So Sodom and Gomorrah are not just an ancient city; they are anyone who falls into this category. Today if you accept this ‘substitute for God’ you are Sodom. Revelation calls the city where Jesus was crucified a spiritual Sodom. Now that is where you belong, if you are guilty of this . See that they were offering a multitude of sacrifices to God, but He says he delights not in them. What purpose are they? Then He asks them “who required this of you?” Now this shows that God himself did not require these animal sacrifices. So where did they come from? From Adam and Cain. Does God ever accept the blood of animals for sins? No. Only the Blood of Jesus has ever cleansed any sin away. Everything else is a substitute and God will never accept it. Isa 1:13 Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting. 1:14 Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: they are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them. Now here is a strong indictment by God against the OT type worship. He calls their oblations vain = not acceptable to him. He called their solemn meetings iniquity. Their sabbaths, their calling of ‘assemblies’ (your church meetings)-- He called an ABOMINATION. He said my soul HATES your appointed feasts (having church at a certain time). When you ‘set’ a time to ‘assemble’, to get together and ‘feasts’ on ‘worship’, when you set a place for this, God said it is iniquity and he HATES it. So who told you to do this? God said this is a trouble to me and it wearies him. Isa 1:15 And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: your hands are full of blood. 1:16 Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil; 1:17 Learn to do well; seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow. Now in the above Scripture God tells them how to do well, how to make themselves clean. Unless you do this, he will not hear your many prayers or see your raised up hands in fake worship. Now raising hands is true worship when you are doing the right thing to God. But to do it in their manner was a substitute. Their hands were full of blood. Of what? Many animal sacrifices. When you live under law, you go back to this same blood of animals, so you are guilty of all those slain animals as well as those who killed them. Now look at what he told them to do. Learn to do well-- seek judgment (so how bout all those telling us not to have any judgment?) Help the fatherless and widows. Now where is this upheld? Jas 1:25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed. 1:26 If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain. 1:27 Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world. The perfect law of liberty is grace. So first you must leave law and come into pure grace. In doing this, you will leave off all idols. This cuts out all holidays, for they are all idols. There is no grace to those who keep idols. Then you must do the work called for under this perfect law of liberty. What is that? Bridle your tongue. Visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction. This means to supply their needs, (not go see them). Then keep yourself unspotted from the world. If you love the world and the THINGS of the world, the love of the Father is not in you. Now this is the Word of God, not my word. People, everyone needs to get very serious about this matter of eternal life. Isa 1:18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. 1:19 If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land: Now here it said if ye be willing and OBEDIENT, you will eat the good of the land, meaning the revelation of God’s Word and His land. Heb 10:1 For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect. (God never placed anyone under law; they chose this.) 10:2 For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins. Heb 10:3 But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year. 10:4 For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins. 10:5 Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me: 10:6 In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure. (See here that God never at any time had pleasure in any animal sacrifices. IT never took away any sin. It never was of God.) Heb 10:7 Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God. 10:8 Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law; 10:9 Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second. 10:10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. So Jesus came to do the will of God. So then animal sacrifices were never the will of God. He never told Cain and Adam to do that. When it said God never had pleasure in these animal sacrifices and he wouldest not, this means He never at any time set this up or accepted it. He never accepted Cain’s offering. So His worship was in vain. He placed a substitute there instead of true worship. So then what is true worship? What is an acceptable offering to God? (There are many more Scriptures proving God never accepted animal sacrifices or their blood or law as a means of serving and worshipping God, but I have given enough so will not do any more.) Ro 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. Now this tells us what sacrifice is acceptable to God -- = presenting our body as a LIVING sacrifice, our body being holy. This is the only acceptable sacrifice to God. This has always been the only acceptable Sacrifice to God. So this is the sacrifice Abel offered to God. See that God accepted Abel’s sacrifice and rejected Cain’s. So Abel offered his body a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God. God did not change his mind about what was acceptable from the OT to the NT. He never changes these kinds of things. What He loved then, He loves now and visa/versa. Zec 8:15 So again have I thought in these days to do well unto Jerusalem and to the house of Judah: fear ye not. 8:16 These are the things that ye shall do; Speak ye every man the truth to his neighbour; execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates: 8:17 And let none of you imagine evil in your hearts against his neighbour; and love no false oath: for all these are things that I hate, saith the LORD. Here in OT Scripture and times we find that God required truth and peace and do not imagine evil against a neighbour. So even then, righteous had nothing to do with animal sacrifices. Now let one more Prophet tell us how God required even OT People to serve him and to come before him: Mic 6:6 Wherewith shall I come before the LORD, and bow myself before the high God? shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves of a year old? 6:7 Will the LORD be pleased with thousands of rams, or with ten thousands of rivers of oil? shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body fo
~~ Emmanuel ~~ This is something God revealed to me over 20 years ago. I did not ever try to teach it to people outside of my own family; for I knew they could never accept such a thing. But I saw on one of the boards where someone has looked into this Scripture and seen a portion of this truth , and are using it to deny the virgin birth of Jesus. So, in the face of this misunderstanding I will tell you the truth of the Scripture in Isa. 7:10-17. This person did not get the full meaning of this Scripture, and therefore they are misusing it. As I know many of you are on more than one board, as I am, I want to show you the truth of this. You will read the fulfillment of that prophecy in Isa. 8:1-15. This prophecy in Isa. 7:14---Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel, was fulfilled in Isa. 8. Isaiah was told to take a great roll, and write in it with a man's pen, concerning Mahershalalhashbaz. v2---And I took unto me faithful witnesses to record, Uriah the priest, and Zechariah the son of Jeberechiah. v3---And I went unto the prophetesss; and she conceived, and bare a son. Then said the LORD to me, Call his name Mahershalalhashbaz. Many think this was Isaiah's son, but notice, it did not ever say she bear him a son; just said - she bear a son. He is never called Isaiah's son.
v4---For before the child shall have knowledge to cry, My father, and my mother, the riches of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria shall be taken away before the King of Assyria. V 8--Shows that this will be fulfilled within 65 years of that time this is spoken; so this had to be fulfilled back there then. Isa.7:15,16---Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse the evil, and choose the good, For before the child shall know to refuse the evil, and choose the good, the land that thou abhorrest shall be forsaken of both her kings. This shows that in THEIR day, a virgin born son would still be a baby, not knowing how to say, My father and my mother, also before this child knew to refuse the evil and choose the good, the land that Ahaz hated would be forsaken of her king. This happened BACK there in their day; not way down in the day of Jesus. God has a law that in the mouth of two or three witnesses, every word shall be established. He himself never deviates from that law. Some prophecies are fulfilled more than once. Example, when God said, Out of Egypt have I called my Son. It is said that that was fulfilled when Israel came out of Egypt with Moses, but God said later it was fulfilled when Mary and Joseph brought Jesus out of Egypt back to their homeland. So, the coming out of Egypt by Moses typed the coming out by Jesus; thus the prophecy has a two-fold meaning, reaching to Jesus. That is what happened here. There were TWO virgin born sons. Maherslalalhashbaz was the one prophecied in Isa. 7. He is the one who was the sign to Ahaz. The one who would not know to cry, my father or mother before the King of Assyria came and took away their riches. This child is also called Immanuel. And it is proven to mean God with us. Read Isa, 8: 10--(speaking to them back in Ahaz's day, ) "Take counsel together, and it shall come to nought; speak the word, and it shall not stand, for God is with us. Notice, it did not say that Isaiah 'went in unto' the prophetess, which would have meant he had intercourse with her. But, it said he went unto her. That means he only went to where she was. Now, WHY would he take faithful witnesses to record this event, IF he were going to have intercourse with her???? NO!! This was a virgin born son. The first 'witness' of this happening. It does not say, as with Mary, that the Holy Ghost overshadowed her, or that the Power of the Highest came on her. This was a 'spoken' word conception. That is why the faithful witnesses were there: to prove that it was done by only speaking the word to her. The Word of God caused her to conceive, to fulfill his word to Ahaz. It is also a type of the Word in us causing the spiritual conception for us to bring forth Christ in us. This first virgin born son was Mahershalalhashbaz. He is the other witness that virgin birth did happen. Those witnesses were there to verify to King Ahaz that Isaiah had not touched her. All knew she was a virgin. This is why she was chosen for this. But, this prophecy is also for our Lord Jesus. Just as the one about out of Egypt have I called my son pertained to him. This is how precise God is. In the mouth of two or three witnesses, let every word be established. God did not let his Word go unfulfilled that he would show this with at least two witnesses. So, instead of denying the virgin birth of Jesus, this all the more establishes it. Glory to God!!! The prophecy concerning Jesus is in Isa. 9:6-- But, the other prophecy also pertains to Jesus. Both prophecies show the virgin birth of Jesus; being even more confirmed by the fact that two were virgin born. One by the spoken word; the other by the Spirit. The same way we are spiritually 'born again'. The word and the spirit. There were two virgin born sons; but Mahershalalhashbaz was only a type for Christ. That is why no more is said about him in the Word. He had to be, to show Ahaz that God fulfilled His word to Ahaz. But, Jesus is the fulfillment of it to us. I am glad for an opportunity to finally tell the world about this. May God bless you all with this message. That message above was written by me around two years ago. Tonight, March 4, 2003, I am going to add this part below. This is the part which only recently been revealed to me. This is the part I wanted to put on the board at this time to help clear up the message about Jesus not being God. When I wrote the above part, Build on the True Foundation did not even exist. As I tried to go to sleep tonight, this message came into my mind. At first I did not want to post this. But then I decided it was the thing to do. I know for sure that unless God really speaks to your mind and heart, you will reject this message. But I feel I must share it anyway. Now if you take the time to read Ias. 9: 6 you will see it does not mention the virgin birth. It says: for unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called, Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The prince of Peace. v7--Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice form henceforth even for ever. Now I know everyone thinks this is Mary's Son, Jesus. But I will show you it is NOT. And herein lies the confusion and misunderstanding of the Word of God. This is speaking of the resurrected Jesus. He is the one who will sit on the throne of David forever, not the flesh man, Jesus, for that man died. The resurrected Christ is the one called our God, our Father, the everlasting Father (he will forever be our Father), he is our peace. This resurrected Son is the one who will bring the judgment; not the flesh man born to Mary. He said himself he did not bring judgment. I had meant to only do this part as a new message; but now feel it best to just add this to the first part of Immanuel. Now, you are going to have to take this message real slow; take it a bit at a time; compare it slowly with these Scriptures and pray for truth. Now let's look at Matt. 1: 18. Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. 19. Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily. 20. But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. 21. And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. 22. Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, 23. Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. 24. Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife: 25. And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS. Verse 18--Mary was found with child of the Holy Ghost before she and Joseph came together. So this proves the Holy Ghost is responsible for Jesus being in Mary's womb; not Joseph. v20 also says this, that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. V21--She shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. Now this does NOT say this child or this name is Emmanuel; nor does it say this child is God with us. Now just hold on and read this slowly. I know everything taught us makes us think this is the answer. I also thought so until God revealed this to me a few days ago. So I understand your getting upset at this. But let it have time to 'digest'. Notice it is finished speaking now of Mary birthing her son, Jesus. This child, even though he was placed in her womb by the working of the Holy Ghost, he is still a full human being, having come from the seed of Abraham and David through Mary and this working of the Holy Ghost. The Spirit did not place into this conception the nature of God. He did not place the Holy Ghost into this child here. He only quickened her seed and made life come from it. This life was not God. It was a man. Now here is the secret. Read verse 22 carefully. 22. Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, say
Jesus Christ is the VIRGIN to God. Jesus is the virgin who bore the Emmanuel . true, Mary was a virgin; but she did not birth the Emmanuel. Jesus did. It was his inner Christ given to him by God; the resurrected Christ in the image of God.
