Sabbath 7/11/41/120
Dear Friends,
As the Church of God we need to consider where it is that man is headed and what is our responsibility.
Fear God and keep His Commandments. For this is the whole duty of man (Eccl. 12:13).
We are told this simple duty by God through Solomon in Ecclesiastes. However, Satan has wreaked havoc among humans and the end result of mankind’s operations over the ages has been to demonstrate that even when given the Scriptures man will do anything rather than obey God and keep the Scriptures.
In a world of seven and a half billion humans there is virtually no group of people that obey the Law and the Testimony. God gave three elements of the Law and the Commandments and in each case the so called ministry for their own purposes has corrupted the messages of all three. The Laws of God were given to the patriarchs and the prophets and formalised again at Sinai through Moses and then added to under the prophets up until the finalisation of the Canon under Ezra and Nehemiah, and then closed at the death of Ezra in 323 BCE. The Canon remained closed until the Messiah and the Apostles and the NT was given and the Church of God was formed to be the new receptacle of the Holy Spirit as the Temple of God.
Satan was hard at work to destroy the Scriptures and formed the Sun Cults to absorb and distort it and destroy the faith. The Sun and Mystery Cults had so corrupted Christianity by the Fourth Century that God sent another prophet and third Testament in the Seventh Century to emphasise the Scriptures and their intent and to ratify the Scriptures of the Bible. These texts have been so totally distorted by the servants of Satan under the worship of Baal or Hubal that there is virtually no one on earth that has ever kept the Laws of God (L1) correctly under God’s Calendar (No. 156) since the Apostles and the early Churches of God (cf. The Pillars of Philadelphia (No. 283)).
Even though the Scriptures stand intact man had wilfully refused to accept or study and implement them and has knowingly forged the texts in documents to suit their own purposes. The connection between the Scriptures and the Koran has been knowingly broken and lied about so that no one keeps the correct doctrines at all. The Christian basis of the Koran has been totally suppressed by the imams who lie for political purposes. Reading the Commentary on the Koran and especially the Introduction to the Commentary on the Koran (Q001) and Chronology of the Koran (Q001B) and the Summary of the Commentary on the Qur’an or Koran (QS) will make the history quite clear. There are over 9000 Scriptures on which the 114 Surahs are based and pseudo- Islam is like an ass laden with golden books that understands none of it and perverts the Laws of God under Sharia, as the pseudo-Christians do under the Councils of the bishops and false ministers (see Commentary on the Koran: Appendix 2: Scripture Index (No. QS2)).
It is important to note that even if you are in the Churches of God and keep the Sabbath in the 20th and 21st Centuries there is a three to one chance that you will not make the First Resurrection (No. 143A) and that you will be at best consigned to the Millennium as humans and have to wait until the Second Resurrection and the Great White throne Judgment (No. 143B) because you have been totally deceived by Armstrongism and the Hillel Calendar System of modern Judaism, or under the Adventists you keep no Biblical Calendar at all. All Islam must keep the Sabbath and it is tied to the Covenant of God as we know from the text in Surah 4:154 (cf. The Sabbath in the Quran (No. 274)).
What we must all realise is that the Jews and the Offshoots of the WCG systems have rarely, except by accident, ever kept a holy day on the correct days and many times not even in the correct months. The Adventists have never kept them. We need to correct our ways and do as God tells us if we wish to be in the First Resurrection at the return of the Messiah in the near future.
Most religions keep control of their adherents by encouraging ignorance and through lies. The WCG system and the JWs and the Adventists and the entire Trinitarian systems tell people not to read other materials as though their people are incapable of sorting fact from fiction. They cannot correct error because their people are uneducated and resistant to change.
The only problem is that when they are wrong they are fixed in error and consigned to the Second Resurrection and unable to repent.
No person claiming to be a Muslim who does not keep the Sabbaths, New Moons and Feasts and Holy Days of God is able to achieve the First Garden of Paradise in the First Resurrection (No. 143A); nor is a person claiming to be a Christian. We have had people claiming to be minsters of God telling us that we have to obey the Trinity to be saved, yet nowhere in the Bible is the Trinity so much as mentioned. They have also told us we have to keep Easter. When asked who Easter is, they are simply dumbfounded when you tell them it is the name of the Goddess, and when told that is the Oxford Dictionary definition are silenced.
The human species has proven one thing over the age and that is that it is totally unfit to achieve salvation of and by itself. It cannot even read and comprehend the Scriptures and when it does it tries to corrupt them.
Study these papers just to see the lengths humans will go to lie about God and the Bible.
The Bible (No. 164)
Alleged Bible Contradictions (No. 164B)
Antinomian Destruction of Christianity by Misuse of Scripture (No. 164C)
Antinomian Attacks on the Law of God (No. 164D)
Antinomian Denial of Baptism (No. 164E)
Forgeries and Additions/Mistranslations in the Bible (No. 164F)
Forgeries and Mistranslations Relating to the Position of Christ (No. 164G)
There is only one basis to the faith and that is Truth (No. 168) and only the truth will set us free.
Lies are of Satan and he is the father of lies (Jn. 8:44). It is said in jest that cataracts are the third cause of blindness. Religion and Politics are the first two causes. That is because they are based on lies.
If one wishes to be in the First Resurrection turn your back on lies and follow Christ. It is not a social club based on lies and there are few of us left in the world in this day and age. Purge your systems of lies and false doctrines. Clear yourself of the false calendar of Hillel. It has no place in the Churches of God. Study the following papers:
The Calendar and the Moon: Postponements or Festivals? (No. 195)
Distortion of God’s Calendar in Judah: Part I (No. 195B)
Hillel, Babylonian Intercalations and the Temple Calendar (No. 195C)
The Four Fasts of Judah (No. 195D)
Correct your doctrines and find the one true Church of God keeping the faith. It must exist on the planet or Christ lied. If it is not us then find it, and tell us, and we will sell all we have and support it.
