Attitude of God Towards the Sabbath down through the ages

--The 7th day Sabbath--

It was sanctified at Creation,

And on the seventh day God ended His work which He had made; and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had made. And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it He had rested from all His work which God created and made.
Genesis 2:2,3

Reaffirmed in the Ten Commandments,

Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy....But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work.....For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
Exodus 20:8,10,11

And upheld by Jesus and the apostles.

And He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up: and, as His custom was, He went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read.
But when they departed from Perga, they came to Antioch in Pisidia, and went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and sat down.....And the next sabbath day came almost the whole city together to hear the word of God.
Luke 4:16/Acts 13:14/44

Attitude towards the Holy Spirit down through the ages

The Charismatic Movement (speaking in gibberish tongues, signs, wonders, etc.) is reversing order.

* The Pharisees attributed the 

work of the HOLY SPIRIT to Satan.

Now Jesus went home, and a crowd gathered so that they were not able to eat. When His family heard this they went out to restrain Him, for they said, He is out of his mind. 

The experts in the law who came down from Jerusalem said, He is possessed by Beelzebul, and, By the ruler of demons He casts out demons.
Mark 3:20-22

* The Charismatics today are attributing the 

works of Satan to the HOLY SPIRIT.

Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,...
2 Timothy 2:9

"It is dangerous to all who offer STRANGE FIRE. 

It is dangerous to all who offer corrupt worship. 

It is dangerous to declare things that the Holy Spirit has not done, 

has not said, would not participate in 

as works of the Holy Spirit." 

John MacArthur

Attitude towards the Law down through the ages

Back in the day--  they used the "Law" to kill Christ.

The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law He ought to die, because He made Himself the Son of God. John 19:7
Today-- they use the Christ to kill the "Law"
When they say that the "Law" was done away with at the Cross

How God did it....and Stamped it....and Redeemed it

He hath made the earth by His power, 

He hath established the world by His wisdom, 

and hath stretched out the heavens by His discretion. 

Jeremiah 10:12

You Cannot "Un-bless" what God has Blessed

God made all 7 days....but He only BLESSED one....

And God blessed the seventh day,

and sanctified it:

For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth,

the sea, and all that in them is,

and rested the seventh day:

wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, 

and hallowed it.

Genesis 2:3/Exodus 20:11

And from Jesus Christ, ....
--the first begotten of the dead, 
--Unto Him that loved us,
--and washed us from our sins in His own blood,

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.
Ye are bought with a price.....
Revelation 1:5/Isaiah 53:5/1 Corinthians 7:23

Only 2 Garden Options for the Garden of YOUR Heart

My doctrine shall drop as the rain,

My speech shall distil as the dew,

as the small rain upon the tender herb,

and as the showers upon the grass:

For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven,
and returneth not thither,
but watereth the earth,
and maketh it bring forth and bud,
that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:
*For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, receiveth blessing from God:
*But that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected, and is nigh unto cursing; whose end is to be burned.
Deuteronomy 32:2/Isaiah 55:10/Hebrews 6:7,8

Truth about the Doctrine of the Immortality of the Soul

These things said He: and after that He saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep. John 11:11

"The doctrine of the immortality of the soul is something

indispensable to almost every prominent erroneous religious system
--All or nearly all the gods of heathenism are believed to be dead men who were turned into gods by dying.
--Catholicism is indebted to this doctrine for all its saints who are believed to be mediators with God.
--Spiritualism is simply the embodiment of this doctrine of natural immortality."

New Years Reminder

 New Year's Reminder

Deuteronomy 11:12

4 Ways God Reveals Himself to us

"God has revealed Himself in four ways.

First is creation: people can perceive that everything made and all that sustains their day-to-day lives must have come from a marvelous and powerful Creator.

For the invisible things of Him since the creation of the world

are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even His everlasting power and divinity;

that they may be without excuse.

Romans 1:20 HNV

Second is conscience, allowing people to realize that some of what we observe around us—things like sorrow, suffering, and death—are not as they ought to be. 

This suggests a standard 

--of right and wrong, 

--of good and evil, 

and hints that it originated from Someone other than us.

Since they thought it foolish to acknowledge God,

He abandoned them to their foolish thinking

and let them do things that should never be done.

Romans 1:28 NLT

Third is the person and work of Christ, who as God’s perfect image in human form taught us about who God is and accomplished salvation from sin and death for us when we were helpless to do anything for ourselves.

Hath in these last days spoken unto us by His Son,....

Who being the brightness of His glory,

and the express image of His person,...

Hebrews 1:2,3

And finally, God reveals Himself in Scripture, describing His plan for all of creation throughout the course of history, until things are once again restored and His children can live together with Him in harmony, fullness, and perfection.

Blessed is he that readeth,

and they that hear the words of this prophecy,

and keep those things which are written therein:

Revelation 1:3."

Your Duty

 

"As the ten commandments contain the whole duty of man, -----Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear (RESPECT) God, and keep His commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. 

Ecclesiastes 12:13." 

A.T. Jones

THE CONTROVERSY ENDS

--In My Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so,
I would have told you. 

I go to prepare a place for you.

--And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes;

and there shall be no more death,

neither sorrow,

nor crying,

neither shall there be any more pain:

for the former things are passed away.

--The LORD thy God in the midst of thee is mighty;...

He will joy over thee with singing.

--And He said unto me,

It is done.

I am Alpha and Omega,

the beginning and the end.

I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
John 14:2/Revelation 21:4,6/Zephaniah 3:17

DEATH

--DEATH--

[God's Answer: In the Dust]

[Lucifer's Answer: Immortal like gods]

But man dieth, and wasteth away:
yea, man giveth up the ghost, 

Q: and where is he?

A: And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake,

 some to everlasting life,

and some to shame and everlasting contempt.

So man lieth down, and riseth not:

till the heavens be no more,

they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep.

For the living know that they shall die:
but the dead know not any thing....
Q: When are they raised from the dead?
A: For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout,
with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

Q: How did your first parents have eternal life?
A: Access to the Tree of Life:
Q: But then what happened?

God said, Behold, the man is become as one of Us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever: So He drove out the man; and He placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.
Access to be Restored:
In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month.....Blessed are they that do His commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
Q: Where are the dead in the meantime?
A: All go unto one place;

all are of the dust, 

and all turn to dust again.

btw, Natural Immortality of the soul was the FIRST LIE ever uttered on earth:
EVE: And the woman said unto the serpent,
We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
The Serpent (Lucifer): And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened and ye shall be as gods....

SUMMARY by The Apostle Paul: ....the King of kings and Lord of lords—He alone is immortal and dwells in unapproachable light.
