Gal 1:6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:
Gal 1:7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
Gal 1:8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.

You must have no idea how much the the catholic church has influinced the world.
In the seventh chapter of the book of Daniel is an amazing prophecy picturing for 2,500
years into the future, from the day it was written, the course of the Gentile kingdoms.
Starting with the ancient Chaldean Empire of Nebuchadnezzar, this prophecy foretells
the successive [world rule] of the Persian Empire, Alexander’s Greco-Macedonian
kingdom with its four divisions, and finally, of the mighty Roman Empire.
Out of the original Roman Empire, symbolized by 10 “horns” growing out of the head
of a “beast,” are pictured the 10 resurrections of the Roman Empire that have continued
since its fall to the present, and are scheduled to continue until the coming of Christ.
Among these 10 kingdoms which have ruled in the Western world since the fall of Rome
to the present, appeared another “little horn,” whose “look was more stout than his fellows.”
In other words, another government, actually smaller, yet dominating over all the others.
Students of prophecy recognize this “little horn” as a great religious hierarchy. And in the
25th verse of this prophecy, it is stated that this hierarchy shall “think to change times and laws.”
How Time Was Changed
This same power is mentioned again in the 17th chapter of Revelation, here pictured
as ruling over the kings and kingdoms of the Earth, persecuting the true saints.
In every possible manner, this power has changed time!
God begins the days at sunset, but “the little horn” has changed it so the world now
begins the day in the middle of the night by a man-made watch.
God begins the week with the ending of the true Sabbath, the seventh day of the week,
but the world begins the working week in the middle of the night, the second day of the week.
God begins the months with the new moons, but this “little horn” has induced the world
to begin the months according to a clumsy man-made calendar of heathen origin.

Such efforts at church unity are paving the way for a major prophecy in the Bible to be fulfilled.
And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT,
THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
the 47th chapter of Isaiah: “Come down, and sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon,
sit on the ground: there is no throne, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more
be called tender and delicate. … And thou saidst, I shall be a lady for ever: so that thou
didst not lay these things to thy heart, neither didst remember the latter end of it.
Therefore hear now this, thou that art given to pleasures, that dwellest carelessly,
that sayest in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me; I shall not sit as a widow,
neither shall I know the loss of children” (verses 1, 7-8).
Here God prophesied that the Catholic Church would experience a great rebellion against
her evil deeds—and then, in the very end time, would bring those daughters back under
her direction; she would not “know the loss of children.”
The Protestant Reformation was a rebellion against Catholicism. Today, however, the
Protestants are in the process of being reunited with the Catholic Church under the pope’s rule.
The draft statement, the first issued by the International Anglican-Roman Catholic
Commission for Unity and Mission, is sure to generate more controversy. Indeed,
biblical prophecy indicates that full unity will not be achieved purely voluntarily.
At a certain point, the mother church will abandon its efforts to woo her daughters back
by flatteries and instead revert to the age-old method of preserving “Christian” unity by
exerting physical force.
However, thankfully, God says the Roman Catholic Church will again suffer the loss of
children “in a moment” (verse 9). Then Jesus Christ is going to rule the Earth.
Time is accelerating quickly, and all of this will happen in a moment.
Revelation 18:4
And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people,
that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.

THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.

Hello Snoozy,
Hope your feeling better now. The scriptures never separates LOVE from God's Law in fact it is only through LOVE that God's Law can be fulfilled in those who walk in His Spirit. This is the New Covenant of God writing His Law (10 commandments) in our heart (Hebrews 10:26-27)
The fruit of faith is OBEDIENCE to God's Law and known disobedience or breaking God's Law (James 2:11; Romans 7:7; 1 John 3:4) is a sign of UNBELIEF and the need to seek God for forgiveness and a new Heart to LOVE through being born again.
The scripture you quoted 1 John 3:23-24 is about LOVE but you missed the CONTEXT which is connecting LOVE to OBEDIENCE to God's 10 commandments (1 John 3:3-15)
The second lot of scripture you quoted from Matthew 22:36-40 shows the connection between LOVE and OBEDIENCE. Jesus is actually quoting from Deuteronomy 6:5 (First great commandment of LOVE to GOD) and Leviticus 19:18 (Second great commandment of LOVE to man). Jesus finishes by connecting LOVE to OBEDIENCE. On these two commandments hang all the LAW and the Prophets.
Let's look at the scriptures and a few others.....
Matthew 22
36, Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
37, Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
38, This is the first and great commandment.
39, And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
40, On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
Links to..........
Romans 13
8, Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loves another hath fulfilled the law.
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.
10, Love works no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.
Links to...........
James 2
8, If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well:
9, But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors.
10, For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.
11, For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law 12, So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.
Yep Jesus, James, Paul and John all agree that Obedience is the FRUIT of LOVE to God's LAW which is by FAITH in God's Word and the work of God in those that walk by Faith following God's Word.
On the other hand we read of those who do NOT have the fruit of FAITH which is OBEDIENCE NOT being the Children of God...
1 John 3
3, And every man that hath this hope in him purifies himself, even as he is pure.
4, Whosoever commits sin transgresses also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
5, And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.
6, Whosoever abides in him sins not: whosoever sins hath not seen him, neither known him.
7, Little children, let no man deceive you: he that does righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
8, He that commits sin is of the devil; for the devil sins from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
9, Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
10, In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever does not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loves not his brother.
Jesus, James, Paul and John all agree together that LOVE produces the fruit of OBEDIENCE to God's LAW through FAITH. This is the NEW Covenant (Hebrews 8:10-12)
God's 4th commandment is one of the ten ( Exodus 20:8-11 ) and like any of the ten, if we knowingly break it when God asks us not to we stand guilty before God of committing sin (James 2:8-12). If we do not seek him in repentance and forgiveness w e are in danger of the Judgement (Hebrews 10:26-27)
There is not one scripture in ALL of God's WORD that says God's 4th commandment is now ABOLISHED and we are now commanded to worship God on Sunday in it's place.
Sunday worship is a tradition and teaching of man that has lead many to break the commandments of God. Jesus says that if we follow the traditions of man that break the commandments of God we are not following God (Matthew 15:3-9)
Who should we follow the teachings and traditions of men or the Word of God? Who should we believe the Words of men or the Word of God?
If you disagree with the above by all means prove your case from the Word of God. If you cannot you should BELIEVE God's Word because ONLY God's Word is true (Romans 3:4)
May God bless you as you seek Him through His Word.

Hi rstrats,
No problem what you have said is correct. The Jewish annual festival were indeed referred to as the Lords Feasts. I am only bringing out the point that the Levitical Priesthood had duties under the Mosaic laws for remission of sin to offer sacrifices for remission of sins at the annual festivals. Nothing more.
May God bless you as you continue in His Word.

(Mat 22:37-40 KJV)
Jesus said that all the Law and prophets hang on these two. So what is meant by hang?
The BDAG Lexicon sites on the Greek word translated hang in the KJV: "all the law and the prophets hang (depend) on these two commandments Mt 22:40 (as a door hangs on its hinges, so the whole OT hangs on these two comm."
So one can clearly see that Love did not replace the Commandments, but that the commandment depend on Love. Love for GOD and Love for our fellow man. Like a door depends on it's hinges. Couple that with what We all ready know, For Jesus also said, "Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled."
(Mat 5:18 KJV)
Since heaven and earth have not passed away, and all has not been fulfilled, not one jot or tittle has passed from the Law.
In case one is wondering what Law. Take a look at chapter 5 in Matthew. In doing so one will clearly see the Law being mentioned is the Decalogue and those pertaining to Morality.
So has anything changed?
Yes; GOD says through Paul in 2 Corinthians 3, "Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart. And such trust have we through Christ to God-ward: Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God; Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life."
So it is to be understood that, through that which has been written in our hearts. We are abled ministers. It is a new ministration; no longer through Tables of stone, but through the Spirit; through our hearts!
For GOD has said, "Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (That is, to bring Christ, the Word, all that GOD would have us be. HIS Commandments down from above Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (That is, to bring up Christ, the Word, all that GOD would have us be. HIS Commandments again from the dead.) But what saith it? The word (Christ; the Word, the commandments manifested in the flesh, our flesh) is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, in thy heart, and in thy hand: that we may do it; that is, THE WORD OF FAITH, which we preach. And that is the Gospel, the Kingdom of GOD (CHRIST) in you. For GOD hath said, "This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them." And HE shall be our GOD and we shall be HIS people, for it is GOD that works in us both to will and do HIS good pleasure. Christ (the Word, His Commandments, GOD's will) in us the hope of Glory. For without this faith it is impossible to please GOD.
Please notice the connections that are being made in the text being shared above. Christ, the Word, all that GOD would have us be; HIS Commandments are interchangeable in the text above because of the context and it being a quote from Deut. 30. Which by the way is just another way of saying what God shared in Jeremiah 31:33 and Hebrews 8:10. And mind you this work in our hearts and minds is the Gospel . And this Gospel is the word of faith in which we preach. It is our Salvation!

And such trust have we through Christ to God-ward: Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God; Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life."
So it is to be understood that, through that which has been written in our hearts. We are abled ministers. It is a new ministration; no longer through Tables of stone, but through the Spirit; through our hearts!
For GOD has said, "Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (That is, to bring Christ, the Word, all that GOD would have us be. HIS Commandments down from above Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (That is, to bring up Christ, the Word, all that GOD would have us be. HIS Commandments again from the dead.) But what saith it? The word (Christ; the Word, the commandments manifested in the flesh, our flesh) is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, in thy heart, and in thy hand: that we may do it; that is, THE WORD OF FAITH, which we preach. And that is the Gospel, the Kingdom of GOD (CHRIST) in you. For GOD hath said, "This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them." And HE shall be our GOD and we shall be HIS people, for it is GOD that works in us both to will and do HIS good pleasure. Christ (the Word, His Commandments, GOD's will) in us the hope of Glory. For without this faith it is impossible to please GOD.
Please notice the connections that are being made in the text being shared above. Christ, the Word, all that GOD would have us be; HIS Commandments are interchangeable in the text above because of the context and it being a quote from Deut. 30. Which by the way is just another way of saying what God shared in Jeremiah 31:33 and Hebrews 8:10. And mind you this work in our hearts and minds is the Gospel . And this Gospel is the word of faith in which we preach. It is our Salvation!
(2Co 3:3-6; Rom 10:6-8; Deut 30:11-14; Heb 8:10)
Absolutely, Thanks for sharing Prove-All

2 Thessalonians 2
3, Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 4, Who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sits in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
The next verses speak specifically about God in Heaven…..
Revelation 20
11, And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
Again……..
Isaiah 37
16, O LORD of hosts, God of Israel, that dwells between the cherubim, thou art the God, even thou alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth: thou hast made heaven and earth.
Now please NOTE; who is sitting on the GREAT WHITE THRONE and SITTING BETWEEN TWO CHERIBIM’S………
God's 4th commandment is one of the ten ( Exodus 20:8-11 ) and like any of the ten, if we knowingly break it when God asks us not to we stand guilty before God of committing sin (James 2:8-12). If we do not seek him in repentance and forgiveness w e are in danger of the Judgement (Hebrews 10:26-27)
There is not one scripture in ALL of God's WORD that says God's 4th commandment is now ABOLISHED and we are now commanded to worship God on Sunday in it's place.
Sunday worship is a tradition and teaching of man that has lead many to break the commandments of God. Jesus says that if we follow the traditions of man that break the commandments of God we are not following God (Matthew 15:3-9)
Who should we follow the teachings and traditions of men or the Word of God? Who should we believe the Words of men or the Word of God?
May God bless you as you seek Him through His Word.

Hello gb9,
Everything is as it should be, Jesus, James, Paul and John all agree you cannot separate LOVE from OBEDIENCE to God's LAW. If you do not believe the scriptures posted above please tell us your thoughts and share the scriptures from God's Word. If you cannot we should believe God and follow Him who loves all.

Hi gb9,
I am not sure what you are asking here. Are you changing the subject? Anyhow it is not important. God's Word does not separate LOVE from God's LAW (10 commandments) even Jesus says on these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets and as has been shown above. James, John and Paul all agree with Jesus.
May God bless you as you seek Him through His Word.
