hello everyone thought it would be interesting to make a thread like this, over the past few weeks now i've seen countless arguments and the problem hasn't been resolved, so the best thing to do since we love each other share what you believe is the current doctrine/road we suppose to be on and prove it by the scriptures, i believe this will atleast ease the arguments a little to see what we do believe in and why we believe in it, no arguments please just a christian discussion and reasoning with each other in search of the truth :)
 
God bless you Josh, you're quite the optimist. I would love it if this was the thread where this will happen, because you're right. It should be able to be done. I just hope this is the thread for it.

As the author of this thread, and the one who came up with the OP, I encourage you to hold posters to the standards and requirements you mentioned. If anyone starts stepping over the lines, call them out on it in love, and ask them to move on. Don't let your thread get derailed by the arguments you hope to keep out of there.

You and I have had our differences, but I do hold respect for you as a brother. I'm looking forward to seeing what happens here.

same here brother i hope this is a first step in finding anwsers because since the moment i've joined here i just saw people arguing and not looking to the bible for the anwsers so i truly believe if we can share what we believe in and why everyone would have a point of view and able to encourage each other, and this isn't about pride if i'm wrong i'm gonna admit it, i'm sure we all love each other and want everyone to be on the right path so this would be a nice start.
 
i guess i'll start, firstly i have nothing against whatever day anyone choose to worship our heavenly father, but i believe that we are under the grace of God and that is the only thing that can save us

John 1:17New International Version (NIV)
17 For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.

now i know what your gonna say " are we to just ignore the commandments? " well of course not i use to ask myself and some friends this before i was saved why is it almost impossible to do the things in the bible? how do i not desire(covet) to have something or how do i get self control and not have a high temper when i'm upset, when your in the flesh and you say i will not harm or kill anyone but the flesh has no self control if the situation comes it lashes out despite if your a humble person, it's just an attribute of the flesh, i recently recognise this scripture and understood what it means when i look back at this

Romans 2:14
New International Version (NIV)
14 (Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature things required by the law, they are a law for themselves, even though they do not have the law.


but if we do the things contained in the law, how can we obey the law who can change this filthy nature of ours to make us obey the law and have self control? well then that is when it happen to me when i got saved, i notice this huge difference about myself my entire nature changed when God touched me it was like i was a new being i finally understood how to not covet i found myself that i couldn't look at a woman in a lustful way in fact i would pray to God to help reveal to them what they are doing i actually had self control, i found myself extremely humble i couldn't even curse anymore and my mouth was very filthy and this was all done by the grace of God

Ephesians 2:8
New International Version (NIV)
8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—

and after we are save by this amazing grace this comes next a new creation to actually not do the things contained in the law

2 Corinthians 5:17
New International Version (NIV)
17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come:[a] The old has gone, the new is here!


Just a briefing of why i believe we are to be under the grace of God, if anyone has any to add or say about this please go ahead
 
I want to say I think this is a great thread for each to share their beliefs with no debates, just a statement of views.

halleluYAHWEH!
 
I believe the words of Yahshua WILL NEVER PASS!

Mattithyah 24:35, "Heaven and earth may pass away, but My words will not pass away."

I believe that no matter what state a person is they have a free pardon, full mercy, all past and present sin forgiven, all they have to do is claim it, and this is done but accepting the Messiah as one Savior:

Acts 4:12, "Neither is there salvation in any other, for there is no other Name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved."

1 Kepha 1:18-19, "Knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, such as silver or gold, from your idolatrous way of life handed down to you by tradition from your forefathers; But with the precious blood of Messiah, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot."

I dont believe futere sins are forgiven, but we may still have mercy if we do sin:

Romans 3:25, "Whom Yahweh set forth as a sacrifice of atonement by His own blood, through the faith, to declare His righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of Yahweh."

1 Yahxhanan 1:8-9, "If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."

Through our ONLY mediator, Yahshua:

1 Timothy 2:5, "For One is Yahweh; and One Mediator between Yahweh and men: the Man, Yahshua Messiah,"

I believe:

1 yahchanan 2:6, "He who says he abides in Him, is himself also obligated to walk exactly as He walked."

I have head it said, "you will be surprised how mant people are in heaven when you get there," I believe just the oppisite; that few are going to enter the kingdom:

Mattithyah 7:13-14, "Enter in through the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many are those who go that way. Because straight is the gate, and narrow is the way which leads to life, and few there are who find it."

I believe this Sacrifice also destroys the enmity to Yahweh in those who accpt it: (most translations ADD words in italics changing the meaning of this verse, even when v16 says what was abolished)

Ephesians 2:15-16, "Abolishing the enmity to the Law, the Commandments, and the Ordinances, through His own flesh, in order to create in Himself one new man from the two; making peace, That would reconcile both in one body to Yahweh through the sacrifice- -having killed the henmity through Himself."

Thayer's (New Testament Greek-English Lexicon)
Feminine of G2190; hostility; by implication a reason for opposition:—enmity, hatred.

"do not steal" is not enmity, what was destroyed was the fleshly unwillingness to not follow Yahweh.

Romans 8:6-8, "For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against; (bitterly opposed to, Yahweh); for it his not subject to the Law of Yahweh, nor indeed can be. So then, those who are of the flesh cannot please Yahweh."

I believe none are jusifed by works of the Law but it is a guide book for us to behave in the way Yahweh wants (IMO anything Yahweh or Yahshua say to do is a Law/Commandment.Instruction/etc) Alot of my focus tends to lie here as I have accepted the Messiah and my focus is now growing in the Spirit of Yahweh:

Romans 3:31, "Are we then doing away with the Law through the faith? By no means! Rather, we establish the Law!"

Mattithyah 5:17-19, "Do not even think that I have come to destroy the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to destroy them, but to establish them.

(After He said twice "I have come to destroy the Law" I dont believe He then destroyed it in the same sentence, and this is clear if you continue to read Yahshua's words.

For truly I say to you; Unless heaven and earth passes away, one yodh--the smallest of the letters--will in no way pass from the Law, until all things are perfected. Whosoever, therefore, will break one of the least of these Laws, and will teach men so, hhe will be called the least in the Kingdom of Yahweh; but whosoever will do and teach them, the same will be called great in the Kingdom of Yahweh."

Revelation 22:12-15, "And behold, I come quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give every man according as his work will be. I am the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End. Blessed are those who keep His Laws, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. For outside are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and worshipers of gods and everyone who professes to love, yet practices breaking the Law."

Luke 16:17, "But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one yodh of the Law to fail."

I believe if one continues in sin they can fall short of the kingdom of Yahweh:

Yahchanan 5:14, "Afterward, Yahshua found him in the sacred precincts and said to him: Behold, you are healed. Sin no more, or a worse thing will come upon you."

Romans 3:25, "Whom Yahweh set forth as a sacrifice of atonement by His own blood, through the faith, to declare His righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of Yahweh."

1 Corinthians 9:24-27, "Do you not know that those who run in a race all compete, but only one receives the prize? So run your race that you may lay hold of the prize, and make it yours. And everyone who competes conducts himself temperately in all things. Now they compete to obtain a perishable crown; but we for an imperishable crown. Therefore, I do not run like a man running aimlessly; I do not fight like a man who beats the air. No, I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified."

1 Corinthians 4:4-5, "For I know nothing by myself; yet by this I am not justified, for He Who judges me is Yahweh! Therefore, judge nothing before the time. Wait until Yahshua comes, Who will bring to light the things hidden in darkness, and will reveal the secret intentions of men's hearts; and then each man will receive praise from Yahweh."

Hebrews 10:26-30
"For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, But a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and fiery indignation which will devour the adversaries. Those who rejected the Law given through Mosheh died without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. How much more severely do you think a man deserves to be punished, who has trampled the Son of Yahweh underfoot, and has counted the blood of the covenant (with which He was sanctified) an unholy thing, and who has insulted the Spirit of mercy? For we know Him Who has said: Vengeance is Mine; I will repay, says Yahweh. And again: Yahweh will judge His people."

Hebrews 6:3-6, "If indeed Yahweh permits, we will now proceed to advanced teaching. For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit, And the righteous, having come to know that which is spoken by Yahweh through the Law and the Prophets, the power of Yahweh, and the world to come, If they shall fall away, it is impossible for them to be renewed to repentance again. They have rejected the Son of Yahweh, and therefore are alienated from Yahweh."

I believe the ways of the world are death and all man made religion is garbage:

Romans 8:13, "For if you live according to the commandments of men, you will die; but if, through the Spirit, you put to
death; put an end to, the evildoing of mankind, you will live."

Mark 7:7-9, "But in vain do they worship Me, teaching as doctrine the commandments of men. For laying aside the Law of Yahweh, you hold the tradition of men! Then He said to them: How well you reject the Law of Yahweh, so that you
may keep your own tradition!"

I believe this person in the flesh can not subject themselves to Yahweh's Law:

Romans 8:6-8, "For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against; (bitterly opposed to, Yahweh); for it his not subject to the Law of Yahweh, nor indeed can be. So then, those who are of the flesh cannot please Yahweh."

Mattithyah 7:21-23, "Not everyone who says to Me; Teacher! Teacher! will enter into the Kingdom of Yahweh, but only he who does the will of My Father Who is in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day; Teacher! Teacher! Have we not prophesied in Your Name, and cast out demons in Your Name, and in Your Name performed many wonderful works? But then I will declare to them; I never knew you. Get away from Me, you who practice iniquity."

"but only he who does the will of My Father Who is in heaven"

Deuteronomy 10:12-13, "And now, O Israyl, what does Yahweh your Father require of you, but to reverence Yahweh your Father by walking in all His ways, by loving Him, by serving Yahweh your Father with all your heart, and with all your soul, By keeping the Laws of Yahweh, with His statutes, which I command you this day, so that you may be blessed?."

"Have we not prophesied in Your Name, and cast out demons in Your Name, and in Your Name performed many wonderful works?"

Do Muslims do things in His Name? Buddists? Hare Krishnas? or Atherist? You get the point
This is a message to us! Followers of or people who claim to be followers of the Messiah.
If you tell me to mow your lawn in a CERTIAN manner, but I do it the way I choose, did I do it your way?

"But then I will declare to them; I never knew you. Get away from Me, you who practice iniquity!"

Iniquity is Word #458 from word #459, Greek Dictionary, Strong's Exhaustive Concordance, meaning not subject to (Yahweh's) Laws, transgressor.

I believe the Name of the Creator and the Messiah are important, not a free pass or a magic ticket, but important, as this is stated hundreds of times in the Scriptures. also the removal of His Name came from a rabbinical/pharisaical enactment in what Yahweh's Name was not to be pronounced, and even replaced in writing with Elohim and Adonai:

Yeremayh 23:26-27, "How long will this be in the heart of the prophets who prophesy lies? Yes, they are prophets of the deceit of their own minds; Who devise; plan and scheme, to cause My people to forget My Name through their dreams, which they tell every man to his neighbor, just as their fathers have forgotten My Name for Baal"

Isayah 52:6, "Therefore My people will know My Name; Therefore they will know in that day that I am He Who speaks. Behold, it is I!"

Yahchanan 17:6, "I have manifested Your Name to the men that You gave Me out of the world."

Yahyl 2:32, "And whoever will call with the Name of Yahweh will be delivered; for in Mount Zion in Yerusalem there will
be deliverance, as Yahweh has said, among the remnant whom Yahweh calls."

Quoted in Acts
Acts 2:21, "And it will come to pass that whoever calls on the Name of Yahweh will be delivered."

I believe the Law is love and it's not grevious:

1 Yahchanan 5:2-3, "By this we know that we love the children of Yahweh: When we love Yahweh by keeping His Laws.
For this is the love of Yahweh: That we keep His Law, and His Law is not grievous."

Leviticus 19:9-18,29-31 "When you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not completely harvest the corners of your field, nor shall you gather the gleanings of your harvest. You shall not glean your vineyard, nor shall you gather every grape of your vineyard. You shall leave them for the poor and the stranger; I am Yahweh your Father. You shall not steal, nor deal falsely, nor lie one to another. Do not vow falsely with My Name, and so profane the Name of your Father. I am Yahweh. You shall not defraud your neighbor, nor rob him. Do not hold back the wages of a hired man overnight. Do not curse the deaf or put a stumblingblock in front of the blind; but reverence your Father. I am Yahweh. Do not pervert judgment: You shall not show partiality to the poor, nor honor to the person of the great. In righteousness you shall judge your neighbor fairly. You shall not go about tale-bearing or slandering among your people. Do not do anything that endangers your neighbor's life. I am Yahweh. You shall not hate your neighbor in your heart. Rebuke your brother or your sister frankly, so you will not share in his or her guilt. Do not seek revenge nor bear a grudge against one of your own people; but you shall love your neighbor; whether a brother or an enemy, as yourself. I am Yahweh.Do not R8prostitute your daughter, to cause her to be a harlot; or the land will fall into harlotry, and the land will become full of wickedness. You shall reverence Me, by keeping My Sabbaths at My Sanctuary; I am Yahweh. Do not turn to mediums nor familiar spirits. Do not seek after them, to be defiled by them. I am Yahweh. You shall stand up before the gray headed, and you shall honor the presence of an Elder or Teacher; thereby giving reverence to your Heavenly Father. I am Yahweh. If a stranger lives with you in your and, do not mistreat him. The stranger living with you must be treated as one of your native-born, and you shall love him as yourself; for you were strangers in the land of Egypt. I am Yahweh. Do not use dishonest standards when measuring length, weight, or quantity. You shall have honest balances, honest weights, an honest ephah; a dry measure, and an honest in; a liquid measure. I am Yahweh your Father Who brought you out of the land of Egypt; Therefore, you must observe all My statutes and My judgments, and perform and do them. I am Yahweh."

There is alot more but these are the things that I think alot of people are in oppisition to and debate me on. (not to be done here, there are plenty of threads for this elsewhere)
 
I believe the Scriptures are fully God's Word that fully point to Jesus Christ through WHOM we are fully saved.
 
I believe In Christ, and to judge all words against the Bible, even my own which I tend to use for lies time to time...

Just like the early Church...

P.s. I love how its called the early church, just to explain what time period they are in... Not to explain what belief of Christ they hold...
 
I believe we do not have the power to save ourself. It is God who makes us do the right thing
Phl 2:13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of [his] good pleasure.

We are his achievement.
Eph 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

I believe that we are to crucify ourself to this world and its comfort and be a living sacrifice to God
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.

I believe that the truth is suppressed by the most of the churches and their teachings are a combination of Paganism + Human reasoning + customs and traditions. And the sole purpose is to make money.
2Pt 2:3 . And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.
1Ti 6:5 Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.


I believe that everlasting life is a GIFT from God, and it is not there in us from beginning, which some call as immortal soul.
Re 16:3 And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead [man]: and every living soul died in the sea.

I believe the wages of sin is DEATH and not everlasting fire.
Ro 6:23 For the wages of sin [is] death; but the gift of God [is] eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

I believe all will come to the knowledge of God, all will be saved and God will be all in all.
1Ti 2:4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

I believe God will do all his desire and pleasure.
Isa 46:10 Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times [the things] that are not [yet] done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:


I believe the saying " MAN IS NOT RUNNING GOD'S CREATION, GOD IS !!!" Everything that is of God there is unity in it. Everything comes from God. And everything is God's. Every human being is unique and God loves each and every one.
 
also i would like to say why i believe they will be a rapture and why the Bride will be taken away and the jews will be in the tribulation, 2 Corinthians 5:17King James Version (KJV)
17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. from seeing this text we realise that when we are born again christ abides in us we are the living temple, and God lives in our heart when we receive him

1 Thessalonians 4:16-17
King James Version (KJV)
16 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:


17 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.

when we look at this we see it's an event taking place, god himself will step out of heaven and come down will a trump and the dead in christ shall rise first, everysingle person who has been borned again will rise once christ abides in them and they died on the earth they are just sleeping, from the old testament saints all the way to this generation, now we also know the bible is like a puzzle some pieces are in the other scriptures, so after reading 2 thes we realise that god will come with a trumpet to sound, and this sound will raise the dead in christ

1 Corinthians 15:52-53
King James Version (KJV)
52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.


53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

as we can see how the 2 scriptures add up and is talking about the same thing, i believe this event cannot be seen with the naked eye, so it will be invisible to the world



2 Corinthians 4:18
King James Version (KJV)
18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

so the corruptible( flesh ) must first put on incorruptible ( to be immortal) and we know the things seen are temporal and the things unseen are eternal.

gonna talk about why the jews will be in the tribulation and seek the scriptures for anwsers.

Matthew 27:24-25
King James Version (KJV)
24 When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye to it.


25 Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children.

you see? they are guilty of killing the messiah, so this is still on them everysingle one of them have to be murdered back since they killed the very person that came to save them, because they are guilty of killing him and they said his blood be on us, and our children

Revelation 6:9-11
King James Version (KJV)
9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:


10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?


11 And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.


you see this is them right here, for a born again christian will not ask for this to happen, because of the love of christ that dwells in us, look at stephen on death he said God forgive them

Acts 7:59-60
King James Version (KJV)
59 And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.


60 And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep.




if anyone want to add or say anything go ahead.
 
I beleive that we are Alien's. Aliens to the 5 senses of Death that engulf our current mortal consciousness.

NOT! a body that Our Father approves of; but better that he made it, than leave it up to the fallen angels to do, as the result of that, is in the His-Story; The Father's that is.

I know and not just beleive, that Our Father IS extremely upset and very very very angry :mad: So much so, that HE WILL NOT even galnce at this place at this time; because it is sooooooooooooo evil and un-fair that He would lose His Cool and wipe it out in about 2 fifths of a second; about the length of time it will take Him to execute His planned lake of fire.

That IS why He left Melchezidek/Jesus The Christ/Messiah AND His Holy Spirit in charge; Because He foreknew that it would ALL turn into the nightmare that's currently happening in Reality.

I am only aware of ONE time that Our Father has ever been here to speak and record what He, Our Father, The Spirit of LOVE had to say to THE WHOLE WORLD! ALL HIS CHILDREN.

And when He spoke it! 2.4 million Israelites, RAN IN FEAR! and DID NOT want to hear; What saith The LORD!

Except for one Man; to whom not only stayed and heard it; But also received the record of it, written in stone.

And whatever else Our Father had to say to that great man of GOD; was given to him by none other than! TA DA! The Angel of The LORD! NOT just any Angel!

The SAME Angel, that not only guides us Now! But even before Moses; from The Adam and Eve (Eve being the mother of ALL living,in Christ/Messiah) Able, Seth etc...Enoch, Noah etc...to the flood, to destroy ALL those that were not born innocent of woman that were attempting to corrupt the birthing linage of the promise from Our Father to Adam and Eve, of the coming Messiah/Christ, that would save them.

But this is only the offspring of The fallen angels that were destroyed, not the fallen ones themselves, that refused Our Father's suggestion, that EVERYONE! should be born innocent of woman.(a really baaad case of amnesia)

There would be more influx's of the fallen angel's offspring that would have to be dealt with, as these are attacks by the fallen angels, attempting to corrupt the seed-line of Judah and Levi specifically; the linage to the TRUE, King and High Priest for ONE & ALL born of this flesh, The King of the Common People (another words, human, or, born innocent of women, people) The Messiah/Christ.

The history of these attacks leading up to the birth of Christ/Messiah are truly, nothing short of amazing, and gives one a clear understanding of just how and why, the Morenatural Miracles were performed, By Our Father, through none other than, TA DA! The Angel of The LORD/Melchezidek/The Messiah/The Christ/The First and ONLY begotten Son in this​ flesh, that carried with him, Our Father's Truth, for the common people.

That is why Joseph is not Christ Messiah's biological father; because Mary was impregnated by The Living Word, thus bringing forth in this flesh, the same Word of The Living God, that had already been spoken to, and recorded by Moses & the Prophet's by none other than, TA DA! The Angel of The LORD! Our Lord (High Priest) King, and Each and
EVERYONE"S PERSONAL SAVIOUR! Jesus The Christ/Yeshua Messiah.

I believe what Christ/Messiah said: How? can i teach you of the things to come; when you don't know what was in the beginning. BEFORE this temporal flesh stage.

Source: The Bible, Study, Prayer, Sharing, Sincerity, experience of Death (so-called life) the library, a complete loss of faith, and blessed with a wonderful set of temporal parents, that though couldn't answer all my questions; set a very good example for me, of how a family should be, and how one shouldn't be.

And at 42 years old, and losing my faith completely, finally finding a sincere Christian brother, to help me to understand, what Our Father truly said to Moses & The Prophets, that Christ/Messiah and his Apostle's Confirmed.

And Yes Cathy, that is Arnold Murray of The Sheppard's Chapel. so what.

Soteriology: 5-Point Calvinist
Christology: Hypostatic Union (Dual Nature)
Godhead: Trinitarian (One God, three distinct persons)
Fully Embrace the Five Solas
Apologetics: Presuppositionalist (with some evidentialism)
On the Covenants: Non-Dispensationalist (not quite Covenantal though)
Creation: Young Earth Creationist (universe is approx. 6k yrs old)
Providence: Sovereign
Bible: Inspired & Inerrent
Eschatology: generally non pre-trib non pre-mill (edited for a little detail)

Non-negotiables:
Godhead: Trinitarian (One God, three distinct persons)
Christology: Hypostatic Union (Dual Nature)
Bible: Inspired & Inerrent

I like this post too. I just tried to start a similar one. I will write here though that I believe that Jesus is the Christ, the son of God. I believe that by following him and living how he has taught us and teaches us still, we can be happy. I believe that God answers prayers and can direct us to truth. I believe he is kind and loving and wants us to be happy and that is why he gives us commandments. True happiness and true fulfillment comes by choosing to follow him, keeping his commandments, and seeking his will.

ok i respect this, just got a question for you, how does someone keep the commandments?, why i ask this is because we are born in sin everyone, so we were made to do the things contained in the law, so how do we keep them? the bible also state this and i know alot of people who gave up on christianity because they couldn't follow the commandments as the organization tells them too, but please go ahead
 
Wash yourself in the sinners prayer, for the everyday minor sins, that we are exposed to, unless one's a hermit, and that's not too helpful.

Thank-You Father, in and through the name of Your Son and Our Lord, King and Saviour, Jesus The Christ/ Yeshua Messiah, for the forgiveness that You have to us wards, for the sins that we ALL, and I emphasize the word A-L-L, have and do transgress against You Father, especially at this time.

" Israel, though they dig themselves deeper into hell everyday; I WILL save them, FOR MY NAME'S SAKE" .

I would also like to thank-You Father, in and through the name of Your Son and Our Lord, King and Saviour, Christ/Messiah for the forgiveness that You have towards me, for the sins that I have and do transgress against you Father;

For the breaking of Your health laws; for the breaking of Your covet laws, for the speaking and think ill of other people, Your children Father.

Thank-You also Father for the sins that I have do transgress against You in ignorance; But most importantly Father, I would ask for; in and through the name of Your Son and Our Lord, King and Saviour; Jesus The Christ/ Yeshua Messiah; and thank-You for granting unto me; and for the double portion thereof, IF it is available to me through The House of Joseph;

And ALL that there is available of it to me at this time; Of strength, courage, wisdom, patience and endurance, to help me Father; to forgive those who have and do transgress against us Father;

Our vineyard of flesh families, that were planted by Your hand; But more importantly Father, for Your Holy Universal Family Father, that has been defiled, and has just not had the record set completely straight, YET!
Praise be to YAHAVEH

Judah be to YAHAVEH'S Saviour

Jesus The Christ/Yeshua Messiah​

Israel IS The WHOLE WORLD at this time; Because, The Word has been both preached and published in every nation at this time. PRAISE Be to the Faithkeeper's; Those born before 1948.

Who not only preached and published The Word, but pretty much built a temple building on every city, town, and village, from Jerusalem to Russia and everywhere in between.

Where ever they couldn't get one in, it was put there during the years of blindness, reguardless of the fact that it got there for the wrong reasons; financial gain, The people can still decide for themselves.

The Bible had been rightly divided (a learning process) in many ways; but one significant event had to take place, before it could be rightly divided, time wise.

That event took place in 1948, when the Jewish people re-claimed their rightful land that they had lost in 70 AD.

At that time; a 40 year blindness on the true Word of GOD, was upon the Whole planet; every single solitary individual; for a protection mainly; as sin in ignorance is no sin.

It also allowed The Word to get to the places that had previously rejected it, through greed of monetary gain.

The blindness is over now; and even if a person that had previously tried to love GOD, and felt like he couldn't get an answer, should try it again one more time, IF the person is sincere; as GOD is answering those of a sincere heart, at this time.

That 144,000 number is being used metaphorically in that verse; and if I remember correctly it has something to do with 12 x 12 being 12 Patriarchal Father's and 12 Apostle's and the heads of the 12 tribes of Israel. ( something like that; its been a while since I studied that part)

There are untold millions who are already under the Alter in heaven, waiting for the same thing EVERYONE is waiting for; The Return of Melchezidek; Jesus The Christ in the Spirit, that has no flesh mother or father; Just the same Spiritual Parents that we ALL have; Love & Wisdom.
Amos CH 8 vs 11

Behold the days come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD:

(notice the different Lord and LORD)
