What are you fighting for?

Monday, August 30th, 2010

The Flesh is always going to be a major contender for those (the wicked) who are not desirous to walk in/by the spirit of YHWH. -©2010 Kristal Kleer Publishing

100720FE KS BOXING14 t6072 300x200 What are you fighting for?

Galatians 5:17 (KJV)
17Ā For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.

I find it interesting that so many church folk/religious are always talking about change but never walking in it as it pertains to their life/lifestyles. The discussion seems to suffice for them more than the change itself. They use verses such as

Galations 5:17 out of it’s context to represent some uncontrollable war in their members when that is not the point of this verse at all. Verse 16 is the bottom line to the freedom from flesh walking.. For the end result of flesh walkers is death…

Galatians 5:16 (KJV)
16Ā This I say then, WALK IN THE SPIRIT, and YE SHALL NOT FULFILL the lust of the flesh.

Romans 7:5–6 (KJV)
5Ā For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death. 6Ā But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.

Romans 6:23 (KJV)
23Ā For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of YHWH is eternal life through Yahushua the Messiah our Master.

Romans 8:11–16 (KJV)
11Ā But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Yahushua from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.

12Ā Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.

13Ā For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.

14Ā For as many as are led by the Spirit of YHWH, they are the sons of YHWH.

15Ā For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

16Ā The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of YHWH:

Even funnier is the fact that they have the audacity to believe the lying, religious piped pipers who tell them they have to fight the flesh, and fight satan.. etc… When the scripture simply says: “Resist the Devil and he will flee”,

James 4:7 (KJV)
7Ā Submit yourselves therefore to YHWH. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

Key Words:
SUBMIT: STRONG’S G5293-[hupotasso /hoopĀ·otĀ·asĀ·so/]

1 to arrange under, to subordinate. 2 to subject, put in subjection. 3 to subject one’s self, obey. 4 to submit to one’s control. 5 to yield to one’s admonition or advice. 6 to obey, be subject.

RESIST: STRONG’S G436-[anthistemi /anthĀ·isĀ·tayĀ·mee/]

1 to set one’s self against, to withstand, resist, oppose. 2 to set against.

AGAIN I REMIND YOU:

“Walk in the spirit and you WILL NOT FULFILL THE LUST OF THE FLESH”…

Galatians 5:16 (KJV)
16Ā This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.

These irresponsible “it’s God’s responsibility to…” type of people, are the kinds who make statements like, “we don’t want to leave here (church) the same way we came”… My issue with this saying is this: why do you need to get to the 4 walls to be free from sin, free from the bandages of life that are clearly written and explained that you can be free from? They don’t read, nor do they desire to obey the Father’s words (the Bible) therefore, they will remain in their bondages and continue making excuses for why they are bound.

BEING BOUND is a choice, when so great a salvation has been made available to all why would any who desire freedom not walk in it??.. There is NO EXCUSE for bondage/sin. Only those who love it will continue in it… Why, because it is written that every seed will produce after it’s own kind. What kind are you? What are you fighting for, when the battle against sin has already been won? What are you fighting for?

1 Peter 3:18 (KJV)
18Ā For Yahushua also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to YHWH (the Father), being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:

Stupid Religious Saying of the Day

Thursday, June 11th, 2009

This one is famous for being said by the religious community at large: particularly in charismatic circles.

WE HAD CHURCH TODAY!

This has got to be one of many of the funniest sayings of the religious. It is erroneous to say the least. What is even more interesting is when you ask a person who says this, “what happened at church today”, they can’t tell you what the message was or anything, and many of them shy off into this, “I can’t really explain it” position. hmmmmm

They boast all this excitement yet have no fruit. Everything in their life is still the same mes it was before church. They are no better off than those who get high or drink to chase away reality: rather than facing it.

They are not filled with the Holy Spirit but would rather be slain in it.. LOL

BE NOT DRUNK with wine wherein is excess but be filled with the Spirit.
BE SOBER, BE VIGILANT, there is an adversary: the devil who seeks to destroy, and he prays on those who live on Fantasy Island.

LOVE YALL, you know what to do.

Make sure that all scripture used is in it’s proper context. Thouroughly expound your point, and say what you mean, don’t make us guess…

HERE ARE SOME OF THE COMMENTS FROM THAT POSTING:

Valerie Withers at 5:30pm June 8
they are basing their experience on the emotion of the moment…not like the men their on the road in Luke24:32 “And they said to one another,did not our hearts burn within us, while He talked with us by the way, and while He opened up the Scriptures to us.” This is based on the Lord opening their eyes and they beholding wondrous things out of the Word of GOD…not the intoxicating beating of the drums or who could say “who stole my Honda” or “Come and tie my bowtie” the fastest or longest, or loudest. That’s ‘em having ‘chuch.” Then won’t speak to you on the way out, or see if you need a ride ’cause they just asked u when u gettin’ yo car fixed…

Kristal Giles at 5:38pm June 8
LOL. I love it. Basing a relationship on experience leaves them opened to whatever makes them feel good. That leaves the door opened for the flesh to explorer it’s options.

Hey Valerie, how about we no longer refer to the Father as Baal (LORD), nor an uncertain affinity (GOD) anymore sis. We know him by name.

Love Yah

Valerie Withers at 6:00pm June 8
OKAY, what name is Paul referring to when he writes that every knee shall bow and every tongue confess the Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of GOD the Father? I would like to use that one…Not Yeshua Adonai, then what. I want to keep a teachable spirit.

Kristal Giles at 6:46pm June 8
Every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess that Yahushua the Messiah is master/teacher to the glory of YHWH the Father.

Here’s a similar verse:
Matthew 5:16 Let your light so shine…. that men may see your good works and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

Adonai is what the jewish rejectors of the Messiah and rejectors of YHWH called the Father. They have a multiple fold purpose for this, 1. they hate him and want to remain idolatrous. 2. They are like a jealous hateful suitor who has the mindset of “I don’t want you, but I don’t want nobody else to have you.” 3. In their oral law (tradition of the elders/talmud) they make the unbiblical claims that the Father’s name is not to be spoken. LIES!!!

We must also not forget that the translators of the English bible were not inspired by YHWH. His word in it’s original text is inspired by those whom he selected to pen it. Also the scripture is not naturally discerned but spiritually discerned.

Kristal Giles at 6:47pm June 8
Paul didn’t refer to the Father and the son by the translated terms, but rather by their names.

Valerie Withers at 7:13pm June 8
Yahusua Messiah it is! See won’t that easy?

Tiffany Green at 9:23pm June 8
soooo true. no notebook, no change, no transformation…

Bryan R.L. Buchanan at 10:21pm June 8
I only have one thing to say about this….Stop Focusing on trying to “Have Church” and Simply BE The Church that you were Called Out To Be.

Kristal Giles at 10:55pm June 8
absolutely none Tiffany. I keep telling these retrards they don’t know YHWH. If they know him intimately wouldn’t they know his address? LOL

It ain’t the church address..although they call it his house. YIKES.

Bryan: Their focus is the building and not the builder of men. We will never be the church. The church is a building. The ekklesia/body of the Messiah is what those who are of the family of YHWH are.

THE CALLED OUT ONES.

Tiffany Green at 10:56pm June 8
yesss!! so many ppl will be part of the church but not part of THEE CHURCH that is connected to Christ body. and will feel really cheap on judgement day

Kristal Giles at 11:02pm June 8
let’s just throw the word church out. It is not anything ordained and set up by the Father, but rather by men.

Check out the definitions:

church |t??rt?|
noun
a building used for public Christian worship : they came to church with me.
• (usu. Church) a particular Christian organization, typically one with its own clergy, buildings, and distinctive doctrines : the Church of England.
• ( the Church) the hierarchy of clergy of such an organization, esp. the Roman Catholic Church or the Church of England.
• institutionalized religion as a political or social force : the separation of church and state.
• the body of all Christians

WHERE IS THE FATHER IN THIS? NOT THERE AS HE DIDN’T INSTITUTE RELIGION BUT RELATIONSHIP..

Tiffany Green at 11:03pm June 8
wow..sick.

Kristal Giles at 11:03pm June 8
very clear definition isn’t it?

Tiffany Green at 11:05pm June 8
Ephesians 1: 22And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, 23which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.

Pastor Di at 11:16pm June 8
“I keep telling these retards they don’t know YHWH” Wow…nice…hhmmmm….
Valerie…its interesting that you quoted Luke 4:32, however, with the current argument’s logic…that would be simply an emotional statement as well, since no where in the text did they ever disclose the substance of what Jesus’ said. The statement…”didn’t our hearts burn” is no more indicative of the substance of Jesus’ message than “Wow, Pastor blessed me with that word.” Why all the fuss about such meaningless play on words… “we had church” is merely an expression, and to presuppose as some have indicated on this post, that it indicates a simply emotional experience is no more relative than assuming because a person says “I love fried chicken” means they truly are expressing an intimate relationship or deep emotional attachment to chicken. It’s a figure of speech. We accept the translation of Hebrew words into English, because we are English speaking…

Kristal Giles at 11:17pm June 8
church is the word translated from the word ekklesia. I dare you to study the origin of the word church and study where it was derived.

Tiffany Green at 11:24pm June 8
i know what it means….

called out…or assembly of believers

thank god i went to a bible teaching church that promoted studying the greek and hebrew :-)

Bryan R.L. Buchanan at 11:27pm June 8
I agree Kristal…That Which you Described is NOT the Church. The Issue IS NOT The Word “Church”, but how men have chosen to Define. Any Child of God Knows that what u described is an Institution…Not The Church/Ekklesia that Paul speaks of Eph 5:25-27. Any Child of God Knows that Church refers to the Body of Believers themselves. The Building/House is Not the Church. The People are The Church. The Building Does Not Become The Church until The Church/Believers Shows/Show Up. The Body of Believers/The Church is The Temple of God (1 Cor 3 & 6) NOT The Buidling.

The Child of God Knows that The Church/Temple of God is Not Made By Man’s Hands.

“God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands; Neither is worshipped with men’s hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;” Acts 17:24-15

Kristal Giles at 11:29pm June 8
You accept those words Don’t speak for us all. Many of those words change the purpose and meaning of the original text, however since the word is spiritually discerned, those who are born of the spirit of YHWH will get it and those who are not…..

Just as Yahushua spoke in parables, for it was only given to them that are within and not without to understand the mysteries of the Kingdom.

Call it what you will Di, it won’t change the truth.

Read the scripture and you will find that indeed the disciples spoke of what Yahushua talked to them about.

BTW, “WE HAD CHURCH” was what was being addressed, If you are hungry, might I suggest fried chicken…LOL

cont…

Kristal Giles at 11:31pm June 8
You jump on Valerie as if you know of what you speak. Titles mean nothing on this thread Di, you are either in the Family of YHWH or not.

Let’s go over Luke 24 just to show your folly.

Luke 24:14And they (the disciples) talked together of all these things which had happened.

15And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and reasoned, Yahushua himself drew near, and went with them.

16But their eyes were holden that they should not know him.

cont…

Kristal Giles at 11:32pm June 8
17And he said unto them, What manner of communications are these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad?

18And the one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answering said unto him, Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known the things which are come to pass there in these days?

19And he said unto them, What things? And they said unto him, Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty in deed and word before YHWH and all the people:

20And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death, and have crucified him.

21But we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed Israel: and beside all this, to day is the third day since these things were done.

Kristal Giles at 11:33pm June 8
KEEP READING DI:

22Yea, and certain women also of our company made us astonished, which were early at the sepulchre;

23And when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, which said that he was alive.

24And certain of them which were with us went to the sepulchre, and found it even so as the women had said: but him they saw not.

25Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken:

26Ought not the Messiah to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?

here we go….

Kristal Giles at 11:34pm June 8
27And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.

28And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they went: and he made as though he would have gone further.

29But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent. And he went in to tarry with them.

30And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them.

31And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight.

32And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures?

KNOW OF WHAT YOU SPEAK AND THEN DO SHARE….

Pastor Di at 11:35pm June 8
I don’t care about titles either…I stand corrected about that particular scripture…I should have read it in its entirety…I was responding to her quote… Now lets deal with your folly… :)

Kristal Giles at 11:36pm June 8
There is a definite line drawn in the sand Bryan, which side do you stand?

The definition of church is the definition of church. The Ekklesia is just what it is the body of the Messiah, represented in his stead in this earth. They are two distinct bodies with two distinct missions/purposes.

Kristal Giles at 11:38pm June 8
Stand corrected and move on ma’am. Don’t make it up as you go along. “Now lets deal with your folly… :) “You will be either justified or condemned by the words you speak, so choose your words carefully. There is no folly in doing my Father’s will.

Bryan R.L. Buchanan at 11:42pm June 8
Kristal, Sis, what are u talking about? When the word “Church” is used in the Bible, it does not denote what you’ve described. I agreed with you. What u described is Not What God Intended. The Church is The Body of Believers Themselves…Not The Building. U r right, when the word “Church” is used in the Bible the Greek Word is Ekklesia, and I know this word is referring to the Believers themselves, Not To the Building or Religious Doctrines. In addition…I agree Jesus did not Come, Died, Was Burried, and Rise Again to Bring Religion, But to Restore Right Relationship.

I already know what side of the Fence I am On. :-D

Pastor Di at 11:46pm June 8
As I was saying…we accept English translations because we are English speaking…unless you are a Hebrew, or have studied the language in depth, then you are still accepting SOMEBODY’S translation. Translation is very different from interpretation. You noted that the English translators were not “inspired.” You don’t need to be inspired to translate a word, you only need to know what the original word says. The spanish word for house is “casa.” Translated in English, again casa means house. No inspiration is required, understanding and knowledge of spanish is. So if you call him Yahushua, and others say the correct pronunciation or translation is Yeshua, and the english translation is Jesus…then you are still saying the same thing. It’s interesting how this same argument arose approximately 10-15 years ago where a faction of “believers” decided we should no longer call the Savior Jesus. And here you are calling folks “retards” because they don’t agree with you.

Kristal Giles at 11:51pm June 8
I am saying the church is what the church is and the word was used with a purpose in mind. Taking man’s focus off of the real building and making it’s focus a physical edifice is only part of it, taking man’s focus off of the Father and making it man is the truth of why it is called what it is. The enemy will use whom will let him to serve his purpose. Remember this: he is not interested in convincing you of no creator but to be worshiped as HIM. Thus, “I will exalt my throne above the stars of heaven, I will be like the most high..”

Just want to make that point clear, so there is no vacillation, Bryan.

Pastor Di at 11:55pm June 8
You are right about one thing…titles or lack there of is irrelevant and insignificant (note by the way, you were the one that mentioned anything to do with my title…not me). What is important is understanding and knowledge…Unfortunately, neither you or I know everything. What I do KNOW, when I gave my life to God some 28 years ago, I called him JESUS. It was Jesus that delivered me from a life of drugs, nicotine, promiscuity, and a whole host of other stuff. And contrary to your negative experience and those who agree with you my life was turned around for the better because of my affiliation with a Bible believing and teaching “church”. Or for your benefit, “ekklesia” (called out/gathering/assembly/congregation) which you were so presumptoua to assume that the readers on this thread had no idea of the meaning lol… I have several Hebrew/Greek Lexicons, etc…and alot of folk that have been in anybody’s church for the last decade has some familiarity with the “original” text

Kristal Giles at 11:58pm June 8
The point in mentioning the fact that they were not inspired was so that others would understand that a person who has no concern for the words spoken can translate as they are bidded to do by their authority without reservation.

I wouldn’t give the words my Father speaks to me to an atheist to translate into other languages because he will push his agenda via my words…

No matter that things were changed, as was secular history. Study uncovers facts, and the Holy Spirit guides those who belong to the Father into ALL TRUTH.

You take my words out of context. The retards I was referring to were those who think the church is YHWH’s house.

“I keep telling these retrards they don’t know YHWH. If they know him intimately wouldn’t they know his address? LOL

It ain’t the church address..although they call it his house. YIKES.” READ IN CONTEXT DI, you are showing how you read scripture.

You can’t study unless you study. “we accept English translations because we are English speaking.

Pastor Di at 12:02am June 9
Notwithstanding…our grandparents didn’t know a lick of it, but they knew how to live holy lives, how to pray, how to lay hands on the sick, how to cast out devils, etc. etc…and all that they did without the benefit of literary knowledge to which we are privy today. And Kristal, they didn’t call him Yahushua either. They called him JESUS and they lived lives to try and bring him Glory. And sometimes they dared to make the statement…”Lawd, didn’t we have some church!” What that mother was saying is she enjoyed the presence and the power of the Lord. She enjoyed the Word of God, etc…I khow you don’t know me, and I don’t know you. I do not mean to come across as rude or disrespectful in any way. I, like yourself, have no problem speaking my mind, and I’m not intimidated on a post where my opinion is a minority one. I have read some of your other notes, periodically, and I get a little perturbed when I see folk lumping everybody into a particular category

Pastor Di at 12:08am June 9
because of their own personal experiences. It seems very critical and intensely narrow minded. I love a good discussion/debate (I’ve been on many on FB), but I like to explore real issues/concerns, not engage in stereotypical generalizations and cliches about “the church.”
Nevertheless, I appreciate being allowed to express my thoughts on this thread…

Pastor Di at 12:19am June 9
YIKES Kris…you are showing quite a few things yourself about an inability to follow an argument lol… Stay with me… If an atheist were to push his ideas into a “translation” of words, then it would go from being a “translation” to an “interpretation.” If someone says “casa” means “pretty house” then they have “added” to the translation an adjective describing the house. Thus it would indeed be an incorrectly rendered translation. Here however, is the real problem…If you don’t know spanish, then you are taking my word that “casa” means house. How much Hebrew/Greek do you know? Do you have a degree for a completed study. Were you raised speaking the original language? If not, then you are taking SOMEBODY’S word regarding the translation. Are you still with me…I know its a little late lol…

Pastor Di at 12:22am June 9
Hey Bryan…I think what Kris wants you to do is not use the word “church” anymore. The fact that you understand that we the believers are the body of Christ, the church, is not withstanding, because her argument is that the word “church” is incorrect period! She will also appreciate you calling Jesus Yeshushua the Messiah, and God (must be rendered YHWEH)… Did I get that right Kris?

Kristal Giles at 12:23am June 9
“we accept English translations because we are English speaking…unless you are a Hebrew, or have studied the language in depth”

AGAIN, “SPEAK FOR YOURSELF”

STUDY DENOTES devotion of time and attention to the acquiring of information/knowledge of the Word of YHWH. Investigation which is detailed shows love and concern for the words the Father left for his children’s review.

You don’t study by reading, but by taking the words and studying their meanings. Just because the words are in English doesn’t mean it’s in current English. (the King’s English) The mere fact it’s been translated should be cause for study.

You made my point quiet clearly, thank you. If the translated word and the original word don’t match in their meanings, there is a translational error. Thus the word church and Ekklesia are not the same word and don’t have the same meaning, so it is best to hold to the original word before translation.

Kristal Giles at 12:24am June 9
“you only need to know what the original word says. The spanish word for house is “casa.” Translated in English, again casa means house.”

The name Jesus, upon study has no meaning. Study it for yourself, and while you are at it, study that fact that names are not translated. Transliterated based on phonetics and letters available in languages, yes, but not changing names.. They are what they are no matter what language it’s spoken in. Jesus and Yahushua are not the same person. No more than God, Lord, Jehovah, and Adonai are YHWH.

I don’t call people fools because they don’t agree with me, but only when they don’t agree with my Father, and feign knowledge of him.

Twisting my words is becoming a habit for you… LOL

Pastor Di at 12:33am June 9
Now for a question…are you saying there is no such thing as a “house of God?” You know the place where the retards gather? lol Is it not possible for a “church” to be a “house of God? in your opinion…

Kristal Giles at 12:33am June 9
“let’s just throw the word church out. It is not anything ordained and set up by the Father, but rather by men.”

YOU DON’T PAY ATTENTION DI. I’M GOING TO REST NOW AND PICK UP LATER ON THIS SUBJECT.

Accept what you will, it’s your right. The Father created us and gave us free will. Truth will remain truth whether you accept it or not. You can’t dilute it.

Di, I find it offensive that you jumped into the conversation and failed to read all of the comments. You are definitely a part of the church, in every sense of the word:

a particular Christian organization, typically one with its own clergy, buildings, and distinctive doctrines : the Church of England.
• ( the Church) the hierarchy of clergy of such an organization, esp. the Roman Catholic Church or the Church of England.
• institutionalized religion as a political or social force : the separation of church and state.
• the body of all Christians

ENJOY CHURCH, IT WILL SOON BE CAST DOWN, AND THEN WHAT WILL YOU HAVE?

Kristal Giles at 12:47am June 9
Isaiah 66:1
Thus saith YHWH, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: where is the house that ye build unto me? and where is the place of my rest?

Here’s the problem Di, you worship as did the men of Athens: an unknown god. The word God means of uncertain affinity, otherwise you would know that it is no possible for any “church” to be HIS house, he doesn’t dwell in temples made by hands. Not my opinion, search the scriptures. I’ll post more later today.

Love Yah

Kristal Giles at 12:48am June 9
“You know the place where the retards gather? lol”

That was truly humorous….

Pastor Di at 12:59am June 9
blah blah blah Kris lol…By the way…I read the comments…so you got offended for nothing..lol….By the way, you dont know me or anything about me… so please stop acting like you do… and just because you “CLAIM” to speak for the Father, doesn’t mean you actually do! In fact, you sound alot like the very organization that you criticize… Most preachers say they speak for him too…but of course…YOU ARE DIFFERENT…We all should believe you…lol…We agree on one thing…Truth is truth whether you accept it or not. YOU CAN’T DILUTE IT and YOU CAN’T CREATE YOUR OWN! The true church will never be cast down…the gates of hell can not prevail against the true church/the true body of Christ…oops…I said that word again…even though you specifically told me to throw it out…I’m such a defiant one…lol….
So to your question what will I have….? I have a relationship with Jesus Christ and I am a part of his body… the ekklesia, the called out….

Pastor Di at 1:07am June 9
thus I will be as his adoring and anxious bride “Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;”KJV because I love him and have surrendered my life to him…. I leave you with this quote about truth…
“From the cowardice that shrinks from new truth; from the laziness that is content with half-truths; from the arrogance that thinks it knows all truth – oh God of Truth deliver us!—
Good night!

Reggie V D Merwe at 3:15am June 9
Hi Kristal

I’ve been following this conversation for the past few hours. Since early this morning (South African time)LOL

Kristal I’m glad you are standing your ground on this.

Have people forgotten the ‘dark ages’? You know period of time the pagan religions and ‘christianity’ became one? Anyone one who had a diferent opinion to the Roman Church we subjugated or killed.

It was during this time that the bible was translated. Times and festivals were instituted for pagan gods. Bible scholars translated the bible again because of this.

for good measure: YHWH says in His word by the way that He hates that thing that happens on december 25.
Pastor Di please check it out in Revelation 2. Read the word, study it. For your benefit, read many different translations and especially the greek and hebrew text. YHWH says He hates santa( or the ways of them).

Also, I agree with you Kristal on the church thing. It’s organised paganism. Where do the traditions come from? The symbolism?

The word of YHWH stands firm and does not change. It is inspired by Him and those who has the Spirit gains understanding. Romans 8:9 anyone who does not have the Spirit does not belong to Yeheshua.
Oops! I thought that church membership is enough and giving my life to Jesus is enough? I need to be filled by Spirit also?

I’m tired of men GAWD pedling the word for their own personal gain!

Kristal Giles at 7:32am June 9
Reggie,

It is a pleasure to deal with true family. Those who are without will never understand the fact that there is only one way: TRUTH.

I WILL NEVER LEAVE MY POST. MY FATHER PUT ME ON THE WALL, AND I WILL DO AS HE COMMANDS. WHEN IT IS TIME TO WAR, I WILL BLOW THE TRUMPET OF WAR, WHEN TIME TO REJOICE I’LL BLOW THE HORN OF PRAISE, WHEN WOLVES ARE DECEIVING THE PEOPLE I BLOW THE SOUND OF WARNING…… Read More

She doesn’t get it because she is a part of Mystery Babylon herself. The definition alone is enough for one who is sound in basic education to make the distinction.

Religious people don’t know anything about how and when the bible was translated, they don’t STUDY. I keep saying STUDY, however study is for those who desire true relationship with the Father. As a man who seeks to make a woman his mate studies her and learns of her, so are we to do for the Father.

The Father gave me a word from his heart a few days ago. I will post it again for your reading.

Kristal Giles at 7:54am June 9
THE WORD OF THE FATHER:
These false shepherds do that which feeds themselves and not the sheep, they are selfish, self absorbed wolves only thinking of what will profit them. They merchandise the people to eat what they think is the best, they wear the best all the while murdering those around them to maintain their spot at the table. The refuse to feed the flock, they refuse to heal the sick, as it benefits them for them to be lacking and continually grasping, they won’t correct that which is broken and in need of restoration, they don’t do as the good shepherd and go out to find that which is lost. Their focus is false authority, and by it they keep the sheep scattered and confused: making them prey for the enemy. These shepherds will be replaced with those who love the Father and love the sheep. These are those who will feed the sheep and do that which causes the sheep to walk in truth which brings safety. YHWH is against the wicked shepherds and they will not flee the wrath ..cont

Kristal Giles at 7:54am June 9
… of their reward for surely the Father has spoken it this day, and shall bring to pass: his wrath on all those wicked shepherds without hesitation. Watch and be amazed. They will not hide, as the blood of the flock is on their hands just as Abel’s blood could not be hid but cried out from the earth. Be careful family that you are not a part of the place that the Father will destroy. He has no respect of persons and deals with those who deceive and those who allow themselves to be deceived equally. The famine is coming for the wicked and all of their former delicacies will be shut off forever. Listen closely to the Father’s voice as he will speak clearly to cause deliverance those sheep that have been starved and those who are lost and bring them to himself. DELIVERANCE HAS BEEN MADE AVAILABLE. ONLY RECEIVE AND BE NOT AS ISRAEL WHO WHEN MADE FREE DESIRED TO GO BACK TO THEIR PLACE OF BONDAGE. BE FREE.

Kristal Giles at 7:59am June 9
Di, you remind me of the Epicureans and the Stoick’s who were oblivious to what Paul was speaking: by your blah, blah, blah….

Acts 17:16 Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was stirred in him, when he saw the city wholly given to idolatry. 17 Therefore disputed he in the synagogue with the Jews, and with the devout persons, and in the market daily with them that met with him. 18 Then certain philosophers of the Epicureans, and of the Stoicks, encountered him. And some said, WHAT WILL THIS BABBLER SAY?

I love how in this walk we live out the scripture. It is utterly amazing to experience first hand what others endured and encountered for the sake of the Kingdom of YHWH.

Kristal Giles at 8:01am June 9
It’s the same attitude, “I would know what you are speaking of if it wasn’t some strange doctrine” after all this is my business…LOL

The philosophers said it this way, “He seemeth to be a setter forth of strange elohim/gods: because he preached unto them Yahushua, and the resurrection. 19 And they took him, and brought him unto Areopagus, saying, May we know what this new doctrine, whereof thou speakest, is? 20 For thou bringest certain strange things to our ears: we would know therefore what these things mean. 21 (For all the Athenians and strangers which were there spent their time in nothing else, but either to tell, or to hear some new thing.) ”

Kristal Giles at 8:05am June 9
Di, If you’d read all of the comments as you lied and said, why would you then ask me a question I already answered?

Your judgement of whom I speak for reminds me of the Pharisees with Yahushua.. same spirit…

Luke 11:14 And he was casting out a devil, and it was dumb. And it came to pass, when the devil was gone out, the dumb spake; and the people wondered. 15 But some of them said, He casteth out devils through Beelzebubd the chief of the devils. 16 And others, tempting him, sought of him a sign from heaven. 17 But he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house divided against a house falleth. 18 If Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because ye say that I cast out devils through Beelzebub. 19 And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast them out? … Read More

Kristal Giles at 8:20am June 9
“and just because you “CLAIM” to speak for the Father, doesn’t mean you actually do! In fact, you sound alot like the very organization that you criticize”

If I don’t speak for the Father, by whom do you speak? I know you by your fruit, although I have claimed no knowledge of you during this conversation. You however, have behaved as if you know me. My name is Kristal, yet you call me Kris. You are known by your fruit, your fruit is not hidden, but rather in plain sight.

The mere fact that you oppose me with such vigor says that i am different and you recognize it. I didn’t make any claims here of who I was. My fruit is visible as well. This is how men are known: BY THEIR FRUIT.

Kristal Giles at 8:24am June 9
the church will be cast down just as all the nations that have forgotten YHWH. The Body of the Messiah, the called out ones will never be cast down. AGAIN, YOU STAND CORRECTED. If you think Yahushua was building a church you are confused. He was the one sent of the Father to gather those who DESIRE RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM. He predestined (Planned out destination and our deliverance) our outcome from the beginning. Not those who would and would not accept him. IT’S A CHOICE OF MAN, NOT OF YHWH.

Kristal Giles at 8:26am June 9
Furthermore, I didn’t tell you to do anything. You stepped in on a conversation between family and inserted yourself. DO AS YOU PLEASE.

YOU ARE DEFIANT, AND FOR THIS THERE IS A REWARD. AT LEAST YOU SPEAK THE TRUTH REGARDING THIS ONE THING….LOL

Food for thought: Rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft… That Father hates it.

SWIM WELL DI

Pastor Di at 12:16pm June 9
Kris…you are indeed recognized by your fruit also. Your presumptous manner and arrogance is apparent and obvious and is no way anything remotely similar to the God of the Bible. You presume that I do not study which would be laughable if it werent so erroneous considering my background, my course of study, and my degree. But then of course, as previously stated, you know nothing about me!
Its funny, how much you resemble the abusive pastors in the church, with your threats of my impending “rewards” and YOUR declaration of MY defiance and quotes of “rebellion.” And all this because I dare to question you. Ha!
The bible teaches that the servant of the Lord should be apt to teach, “in meekness” instructing those that oppose themselves….I guess you missed that particular scripture.
Furthermore, your own “movement” is not without its own factions, separations, disagreements, etc…(much like the church). For instance, even the Hebrew/Greek pronunciations of Jesus’ name….

Pastor Di at 12:26pm June 9
are not without controversy and debate. I say to you what you say unto others STUDY…DO YOUR RESEARCH….
For instance you use Yahushua” in reference to the Messiah while others use “Yahshua”, “Yeshua” or “Yehoshua”. Pray tell, which one is correct? Everybody has a different “original language” supported argument. You have made your choice and just like the ‘church leaders” you abhor, you have declared your way as the “right way.” And I guess the hundreds of thousands of believers that have proceeded you in the past 2000+ years are doomed because they never learned Hebrew. Wow…who would have ever guessed God could be so petty and unfair. To put such necessity on the name and then leave it hidden for so long. To put it in a language and allow it to be translated and transliterated until it is unrecognizable. You would think God would not have allowed such buffoonery regarding his Word, but oh well, now so many will have to pay…

Pastor Di at 12:32pm June 9
But thank God now we have you, an enlightened 3rd party, who hears from the Father for the rest of us…(there you are looking alot like a church pastor again). Stay on the wall (another pastoral term) because I guess in some cases he really can’t speak for himself?
By the way, I certainly was not aware that I “inserted” myself in a family discussion. I mistakenly thought this was an open FB discussion. My bad! I will at this point “extract” myself as easily as I entered in and that with great joy. You may of course, continue to address me in my absence lol.

P.S. Never learned to swim ;)

Bryan Giles at 12:44pm June 9
Wow Babe, this is a Hot one. Let me read it all than I’ll join in. Had to paint those rooms yesterday so I missed Our facebook appt. :)

Bryan Giles at 1:30pm June 9
My Turn. LOL
This is funny. Every now and then a “Scholar” Or Church Elder (in this case Pastor) shows up with their chest poked out and their “Knowledge” and “Wisdom” dripping.

They ignore the basics and stick to the PAGAN ROMAN CATHOLIC instilled mindsets and beliefs. They claim they study, but do they?? They claim they Know History… But do they???

DI. Let me help you with some definitions… I Sleep with Kristal Nightly (YAH Bless) and know her VERY WELL. I eat of her fruit as her vine is very healthy. She partakes of my fruit, likewise.

Arrogance – having or revealing an exaggerated sense of one’s own importance or abilities

What has Kristal Exxagerated??? BTW If you respected her you would call her by her name as she is not common to you. Kris?? That is a name/term of endearment. Saved for those who are intimate with her. We call you DI, because we only have DI as the listed name for you. Her listed name is KRISTAL.

Bryan Giles at 1:30pm June 9
So who has shown arrogance Here??? How important are you to yourself that you can call her Kris, yet you are NOT intimate with her.

Presumptuous – failing to observe the limits of what is permitted or appropriate

Who is the presumptuous one here? Kristal has quoted scripture to support her position, allowed the Holy Spirit to use her lips to speak prophetically (in case you missed that transition) and Has remained on topic, though you have strayed.

Who is Presumptuous here dear?

She presumes you did not study?? How would she do that???

Study – the devotion of time and attention to acquiring knowledge on an academic subject,

If you showed that you were actually knowledgeable concerning what you speak, perhaps she would ā€œpresumeā€ or ā€œinferā€ that you study, yet you show your ignorance when it comes to ā€œtranslationsā€ or ā€œtransliterationsā€ of names.

Bryan Giles at 1:30pm June 9
I think the Kaballarians would find you grossly offensive. We do not have to accept false beliefs to respect the FACTS of the belief system. I do not ACCEPT islam, yet I respect the FACT that they serve an Elohim whose name cannot be mentioned. Hence the FACTS given to you concerning the ORIGIN OF THE USE of the name Adonai.

When one STUDIES their fruit shows what they have learned unless they have REJECTED WHAT THEY HAVE STUDIED. Has the truth been shone to you and your Corrupt mind rejected it?

I do not presume your mind is corrupt I see it is corrupt. In your own admission. Instead of dealing with the Context of Val’s Choice of scripture, you only dealt with the reference. You showed your corruption ONLY after you were undressed in public concerning your lack of ā€œunderstandingā€ of the passage and how it applied to the topic at hand.

Bryan Giles at 1:30pm June 9
Let’s deal with your Apt to Teach scripture.
Ref #1
1 Tim 3:2 – A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;

That phrase is the word didakitos.

Means apt (having a tendancy to do something) and Skilful in teaching… No meekness mentioned…

Lets check out the next one…

1 Tim 2:24 – 25a
And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, 25 In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves;

Again same word used there. didakitos

Patient…. Hmmm – anexikakos – meaning patient of ills and wrongs, forbearing.

Bryan Giles at 1:31pm June 9
You see, an impatient person, in this case, would be quick to tell you to beat it and throw you to the wolves. They wouldn’t stand there with you and as you spout ignorance, say nothing and allow you to wallow in the mud and filth of your deception and delusion. (Unless daddy said shake the dust…)

In Meekness – gentleness, mildness, meekness
gentleness of attitude and behavior, in contrast with harshness in one’s dealings with others

She has been very gentle. I don’t recall her unsheathing a knife and cutting you. I don’t recall her threatening your well-being. Perhaps you receive it as harsh because it grits you…

Interesting…..

IS being firm considered NOT meek in your world?? If so, I think you should spend more time in a dictionary and less time with your mouth open on things you know not.

Here is a little more understanding of gentleness for you….

Bryan Giles at 1:31pm June 9
gentleness may also be expressed in some instances in an idiomatic manner, for example, ā€˜always speaking softly to’ or ā€˜not raising one’s voice.’

In the presence of others, we find it totally NOT needful to raise our voices to speak his truth. Perhaps we show passion, but any GREAT singer or actor knows how to relay passion without changing amplitude.

Bryan Giles at 1:32pm June 9
Now for the last phrase of that verse

ā€œInstructing those that oppose themselvesā€

Instructing = paideuo – to chastise. 2a to chastise or castigate with words, to correct

those = the person you are instructing

oppose themselves – to place one’s self in opposition,

Note it says ONES SELF in opposition, not opposing OTHERS, or the INSTRUCTOR. This is one who is being ā€œself-destructiveā€

And why???? Do we do this????

Vs 26:
that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil

Note who does the recovering. The one being instructed by the One who is ā€œapt to teachā€

Can’t do it if no one teaches/instructs them though!!!

Bryan Giles at 1:32pm June 9
Again, you show your lack of STUDY. Pastors are to shepherd the flock with the Word of YHWH. Not the word of themselves. You are being dealt with FIRMLY because you bring Strange fire into this thread.

These postings are for the Ekklesia, not the Church. Let’s make that Plain. The Ekklesia are the Called out ones, The church.. well thats been defined. No need to do my Wife’s work over again. She is quite capable.

Now for you lack of understanding the Yahushua, Yehoshua, Yehsua, etc…

First. She did state Phonetics. So that eliminates Yehsua. But if you understood the Babylonian Talmudists, you’d know where Yehshua came from and why. Yaho or Yahu is a personal choice. Yahu is more proper, but Yaho is how some dialectically would articulate his name (in america) If you note, we spell it YAHU as that is more proper as shown by the texts, and MANY MANY MANY scholarly sources.

Bryan Giles at 1:32pm June 9
Even those that HATE him….

But here is what baffles me. If you know this, then why support JESUS which sounds nothing any of these 3??? Is it because you have been westernized??? Polluted by the filth of the Roman Church??? Funny to me, that the modern (Non-Catholic) churchs claim separation yet do all the Catholics do (minus priests, penance and indulgences)

Or do they??? Just under different names. Books, Tapes and Altar Calls….

Kristal Giles at 1:47pm June 9
Here is a clear example of why “churched folk” are so ignorant.

“who would have ever guessed God could be so petty and unfair. To put such necessity on the name and then leave it hidden for so long. To put it in a language and allow it to be translated and transliterated until it is unrecognizable. You would think God would not have allowed such buffoonery regarding his Word, but oh well, now so many will have to pay…”

Truth is never hidden, it is ignored. Funny you seem to know of some things related to the names, however what are you teaching besides Jesus? hmmmmm.

You are what I despise. False teachers. People who aren’t entering the kingdom and shut up others from entering in as did the Pharisees.

My husband has so profoundly expounded I need not add to what he has stated.

One last note to clear up your self inflicted delusion:
“titles or lack there of is irrelevant and insignificant (note by the way, you were the one that mentioned anything to do with my title…not me).

Kristal Giles at 1:54pm June 9
cont….

Oddly enough you go by the name of PASTOR DI. Yet claim that titles are of no importance… OK.

and in closing,

“You presume that I do not study which would be laughable if it werent so erroneous

considering MY background,

MY course of study,

and MY degree.

But then of course, as previously stated, you know nothing about me! ”

You lie so much you can’t keep your story straight. If position doesn’t matter why mention it?

Then you lie and say that I said I know nothing about you???? WOW…. I said to you, you are known by your fruit.

You’d better learn to swim and fast. You’ll need it. Twisting my words to make yourself look good is really boring Di. Your concoctions that I condemn those who don’t agree with me, and abuse people is hilarious.

NOW WE HAVE A CLEAR EXAMPLE OF PASTORAL CARE IN THE CHURCH. THANKS PASTOR DI, YOU HAVE OFFICIALLY CONFIRMED THE FATHER’S WORDS.

Bryan Giles at 2:07pm June 9
Isa 25:1
O YHWH, thou art my Elohim; I will exalt thee, I will praise thy NAME; for thou hast done wonderful things; thy counsels of old are faithfulness and truth.

WHat is his Name DI??? GOD?? How do you PRAISE HIS NAME if you DONT KNOW HIS NAME????

WOW. The Religious. DUMB AND STUPID….

How is that for HARSH. Or am I, as the Young folks say, KEEPING IT REAL!!!!

Bryan Giles at 2:13pm June 9
Isa 48:9
For my name’s sake will I defer mine anger, and for my praise will I refrain for thee, that I cut thee not off.

WHAT IS HIS NAME DI??? IS IT GOD?? Which is NOT a name, but an indication of Position (Sorry Paga Position)

Is his name LORD?? Last I checked LORD meant Baal or Master.SO who are YOU praising.

LORD is not a translation, Mistranlation, or whatnot, It is a blatant CHANGE from what the ORIGINAL TEXT SAYS.

If the TEXT SAYS YHWH (????) not Lord (??????)

Learn some HEBREW PASTOR!!!!!

Serve BAAL in the guise of serving YHWH and see what he has to say… Or do you even care?????

Bryan Giles at 2:14pm June 9
Icing on the Cake:

Isa 52:6
Therefore my people shall know my name: therefore they shall know in that day that I am he that doth speak: behold, it is I.

Get that?? HIS PEOPLE WILL KNOW!!!! KNOW!!!! KNOW!!! HIS NAME!!!!

HIS PEOPLE. Not the stranger, but HIS PEOPLE.

WHATS HIS NAME DI???

DO YOU KNOW IT??? IF YOU DO, WHY DONT YOU USE IT!!!!!

YOU BABYLONIAN TALMUDIST!!!! ?????

Bryan Giles at 2:17pm June 9
Isa 56:6
Also the sons of the stranger, that join themselves to YHWH, to serve him, and to love the name of YHWH, to be his servants, every one that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and taketh hold of my covenant;

POWERFUL!!!!!

TO LOVE THE NAME OF YHWH!!!!!

WHATS HIS NAME!!!! AAAAAuuuuuu AAAAHHHAAHHH (vibrato Baby!!!)

WHAT”S HIS NAME!!!!!!

IT SURE AINT JESUS!!!!!

Bryan Giles at 2:22pm June 9
BTW DI, when you go to France do they call you LIVE????

Flossing is not of my Father

Thursday, April 2nd, 2009

[MEDIA=24]

Great Points made here, although many will just laugh it off and ignore the facts.
The bottom line is the Father didn’t promise we’d be able to floss. No, I don’t deny that my Father takes exceptional care of me and my family, thus I am sure he does it for the rest of HIS children.

Stuff/Mammon has become the God of the masses and they really think they are serving YHWH. YET, MAMMON IS THEIR ELOHIM.

I was sharing with one of my sisters the other day, as she was very excited and contemplating a new car purchase. I didn’t hate to burst her bubble. Many would lie and say they did. I delighted in telling her the truth. It’s what my Father told me to do. I was interested to know how she would receive it.

The first question I asked her was why she was at the car dealer seeking a car? I then asked her why she felt the need to pay a monthly car note when owning a car meant that the car was hers and that it was paid for in full?

I went on to discuss how we’ve all been erroneously trained by the World and the “Church” that stuff proves some kind of status. In the “Church” the lying pimps teach that those who are truly in relationship with God are those who are blessed, and blessing is taught and measured by the amounts of stuff one accumulates. Of course they don’t always broadcast it verbatim over the pulpit so blatantly, they use more subtle means, but their lifestyles and their messages definitely encourage one to be concerned with extravagance in lifestyle. They abuse and massage scripture to justify excess and chasing lifestyles, and then the congregation follows suit.

Here is the error of that teaching. First of all, the blessings of YHWH are not measured by how much stuff you acquire. Many have accumulated much debt to make it appear as if they are blessed, yet they don’t own a thing. Everything they have amassed is through the means of credit. The clothes on their backs: credit-which means the cost of what they’ve purchased is more than what they paid at the store. The homes and cars in their possession are not owned by them, but by the bank. If at anytime they are unable to pay the monthly requirements they are in jeopardy of losing what they hold. Is this the blessing of my Father? NOT.

Proverbs 10:22
The blessing of YHWH, it maketh rich, and HE ADDETH NO SORROW WITH IT.

Why would any believer desire to pay a monthly note on anything just to have it and feign blessings? While the True Gospel is neglected: at least you look good in your ride. While you neglect the True Gospel, at least the home you live in has more sq. ft. than you need.

There is no question that many who have been taught this doctrine and bought into it will first think that I am preaching a poverty doctrine. Here is the thing, I don’t preach either doctrine as the doctrine of prosperity nor poverty is addressed in the scripture. MAN-MADE. What I will bring to your attention is the Father takes care of his children. I know this well, as it is He that provides for my family. He doesn’t put us in rags, he actually provides quality clothing, housing and food. Those who SEEK wealth are not seeking my Father. Lets review a few scriptures:

Matthew 6:31
Therefore TAKE NO THOUGHT, SAYING, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?

Matthew 6:32
(For after all these things do the GENTILES SEEK) : for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.

Matthew 6:33
But seek ye first the kingdom of YHWH, and his righteousness; AND ALL THESE THINGS shall be added unto you.

These are not things which you should be focused on.

WHAT ARE THESE THINGS?

FOOD: includes food (both literal and figurative) so that would include both your natural and spiritual food. It is what you devour. It is the sustenance which keeps you alive. How you live.

DRINK: that which is imbibed, specifically in this scripture it discusses that which you assimilate (both figuratively and literally). So, this would again include both spiritual assimilation. What you take in which is supposed to refresh you. That which is needful for your refreshing.

CLOTHING:includes both what you put on your body as a covering and also what will be thrown around you to protect you. Where you’ll live, and what you’ll drive.

(For after all these things do the GENTILES SEEK) – the gentiles in this passage refer to those who have chosen a heathen lifestyle; by implication they are called pagan:those who hold belief other than that which is related to YHWH and the principles of the Bible.

Carnal/Pagan folk go on a hunt for bling and things. Carnal preachers write and steal one another’s messages and cliche’ garbage and feed it to people in abundance, and they eat it, as if it is the Word of YHWH when in fact it is contrary.

Back to my conversation with the sister:

As I spoke to her on the phone I asked her why and what she needed to buy a new car from the dealer for.

Of course, I initially received the normal pat answers that we’ve all been trained to give.

-I just want reliable transportation

-I don’t have money to purchase a car cash

-I think i’ll look cute in this car

-I’m not going to get what I really want but, something which I still look good in.

Then she went on to say that one of her family members was going to sell a Mercedes to get the cash for her down-payment. She realized her contradiction of thought. It is at that time she stopped and said to me, school me sis. WOW, a true believer who is desirous of truth. Not just focused on what they want. Sometimes it’s just that no one has ever told us that what we’ve been erroneously taught is contrary to the Word. Only those who desire truth will hear truth. I shared the passage above with her, and began to share other verses i.e.:

1 John 2:15
Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

1 John 2:16
For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

1 John 2:17
And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

Let me break these scripture down for you by putting the words defined in place to make it clear.

True Believers are not to:

Love:
Have affection for (denoting personal attachment), embrace the approval of conformance to accepted standards, Sensually pant after, Be extremely and uncritically fond of.

The World: the arrangements and adorning of the world.

For all that is in the arrangements and trappings of the world are: the lust of both the eyes and the flesh

Lust: longing for that which is forbidden, stuff to set the heart upon, covet, desire, faining for, or over…

and the Pride of life..

Pride: self confidence, boasting, bragging over that which you posses,arrogant behavior

I could go on and on, but my prayer is that you get the point. These things are not of the Father but of the world. While those who call themselves believers focus their attention on the trappings of this world commiting themselves financially to car notes, house notes, and the like (living above their means), the preaching of the gospel is hindered and no one is giving their partnership to True Ministry. Who is taking care of the needs of the homeless while you floss? Who is caring for the needs of the widow, or the fatherless, while you floss? The Father is the one who promised to provide the needs of his children. Isn’t that what true father’s do? So, why are we concerned with ourselves instead of being concerned for others? It is the lovingkindness of the Father which works through his people which draws those outside, into the kingdom.

And if you being an earthly father know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him? That is the icing on the cake.

Think on these things…

Your Spiritual Acuity Matters

Monday, December 22nd, 2008

Recently I responded to a Facebook “friends page” concerning a blog he posted with regards to the Pagan Roots in Christmas.

He made a comment stating facebook not being the forum for us to discuss our dispute, so I have brought it into another setting to allow my subscribers to participate in this discussion.

I am exercising my scriptural responsibility and posting my response to his last group of responses here on my blog in an open manner where all can post. I do not believe in deleting posts. Even those which may disagree with my position on things.

The scripture says this:

Romans 10:13 –15 (KJV)

For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?

And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!

It is my job as a sent one of God to preach his Gospel in totality. To preach the gospel of God in season and out of season as Paul told Timothy, and be ready to give an answer to every man that asks me a reason of the hope that is in me.

2 Timothy 4:2 –5 (KJV)

Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.

1 Peter 3:15 –17 (KJV)

But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:
Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ.

For it is better, if the will of God be so, that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil doing.

If you would like to read the original conversation and text to bring yourself up to speed you can download a pdf file of it here. Facebook | Tim Cross Blog

For clarity sake, I will post his comments in italics and respond in kind.

Tim Cross:
I would say simply that if that’s where you are then that’s where you are. This is proably not the format for saying what I want to say. However let me say this.. and I beleive you know this ..woman of God

PROBLEM #1:

This discourse was made public the minute he posted his blog and encouraged comments.

If the discourse is made on a public blog and we are discussing it back and forth, at what point does it need to become of a different format? As a matter of fact, what exactly is the proper format for the discussion, if not in the setting where it began?

Tim Cross:
No one is going to go to hell because of sinining…!!! You dont go to hell because of what you do!!! You go to hell becaue of who you are!! You will go hell…because you are a sinner!!!!! period… That’s Bible!…if you want to accept it or not. We are saved because of God’s grace….not by works!….(or because we aint got a tree with presents under it!!) you surprize me.

I want to make one thing clear before we continue: which you will notice throughout our entire discourse. There is no mention of the Word of God as a support for the things which he speaks so strongly? ZERO SCRIPTURAL SUPPORT!

Luke 4:4 (KJV)

And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.

In Luke 4 Yeshua responds to one who loves to interject his own ideas (Satan) avoiding the facts of the Word of God. But even Satan used the Word of God during the conversation with Yeshua…. How can any believer live apart from the Word of God? It is not possible! How can we hold a discussion about the things of God without ever making a reference to what He has to say on the subject?

Romans 10:17 (KJV)

So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

Hebrews 11:6 (KJV)

But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

This alone gives reason for red flags. God’s family lives by his words and not the words of everyone else.

Yeshua said this:

John 10:27 –30 (KJV)

My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand. I and my Father are one.

God’s Word is the manual for life, not man’s ideas or what he thinks it should be.

The Book of Proverbs clears this false mindset up for any who will hear.

Proverbs 14:12 (KJV)

There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.

Proverbs 16:25 (KJV)

There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.

Proverbs 29:25 (KJV)

The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe.

and the famous….

Proverbs 3:5 –8 (KJV)

Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.
It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.

The “preacher” says people won’t go to hell for sinning: He’s says it will be because of who they are..

Let us first define the word sin:

Sin
Greek – hamartia , a falling away from or missing the right path).

To be completely accurate we must use his exact words. The Word he actually used was sinning which means a continual falling away from or a continual missing the right path.. Sinning would be a continual act, this continual act tags the person who continues in this act as a sinner. Who the person is is what the person does continually…..

WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY?

Let’s Start with the Old Testament AND Reinforce it with the New Testament:

Adam in the Garden:

Genesis 2:16 –17 (KJV)

And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:
But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

What brings death? SIN!!!!

Romans 6:23 (KJV)

For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Cain and Abel:

Genesis 4:3 –5 (KJV)

And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the LORD.

And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering: But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.

Genesis 4:6 –8 (KJV)

And the LORD said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth? and why is thy countenance fallen?
If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him.
And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him.

1 John 3:15 (KJV)

Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.

Noah and the people of his day:

Genesis 6:9, 11-13 (KJV)

These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.

The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.
And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.

OK, WE DON’T HAVE THE TIME TO GO ON AND ON AND ON…

I don’t understand how one can separate what one does from who they are? A person who steals (ing) is a thief. A person who lies (-ying) is a liar. What you do is the fruit of who you are. The two go hand in hand. The bottom line is sin separates us from God. Yeshua came to destroy the works of the devil, (sin is one of those works) thus restoring us back to the Father.

The discourse with this guy completely reminded me of how the Pharisees and Sadducees were always trying to play on words when having a discourse with Yeshua. Trying to catch him up. They had no clue what the Word of God meant other than the points of the law in their raw form. But, no depth of what the law was for or that it was God’s way of giving an unruly people a way to get to him.

This “preacher” says that man will not go to hell for what he does (sin)….

Hebrews 12:14 –17 (KJV)

Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord: Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled; Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright. For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears.

2 Corinthians 6:14 –18 (KJV)

Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.

2 Corinthians 7:1 (KJV)

Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

There is no dispute that salvation (the gift) is not received based on our works

Romans 5:6 (KJV)

For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.

Romans 5:8 (KJV)

But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

Romans 5:19 –21 (KJV)

For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound: That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.

SALVATION:

so-tay-ree’-ah
rescue or safety (physically or morally):—deliver, health, salvation, save, saving.

But it is maintained by our obedience (works) to the Word of God.

Philemon 2:12 –16 (KJV)

Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.

For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
Do all things without murmurings and disputings:
That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world; Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.

Revelation 3:5 (KJV)

He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.

Yet after you’ve received salvation (the gift) YOU MUST WORK IT OUT… MAINTAIN IT, DO WHAT’S NECESSARY TO ACCOMPLISH..

WORK: (Greek)

katergazomai
kat-er-gad’-zom-ahee
to work fully, that is, accomplish; by implication to finish, fashion:—cause, do (deed), perform, work (out)

1st – 3rd John is clear on how we as believers ought to live and gives clear insight into who is and who is not the Father’s.

Tim Cross:
The word worship means : to give something more worth ….than something else. I dont know about you..I dont know of any real christians that are worshiping trees!! You have got to be kidding!

What worship had to do with our conversation I know not, but it was mentioned. Since it was mentioned let us find out what the Word of God has to say about WORSHIP.

Worship is not defined as acceptable based on man’s opinion but by God’s standard.

GOD’S STANDARD OF WORSHIP IS IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH:

John 4:23 –24 (KJV)

But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

IN SPIRIT:

You allowing the Holy Spirit of God to lead your worship. That means you give him what he desires and not just whatever everyone else is doing or what you want to give him. To many do this, expecting he should just receive them.

How did that work out for CAIN?

IN TRUTH:

Truth is the Word of God. So everything true believers do should be done according to his word. Without these two elements there is no Worship of the Father. There is worship of something or someone else….

So how does putting a tree in our houses and decorating it worship him in spirit or in truth? But being led of his spirit and following his word is what he desires and what he seeks…

Deuteronomy 12:31 –32 (KJV)

Thou shalt not do so unto the LORD thy God: for every abomination to the LORD, which he hateth, have they done unto their gods; for even their sons and their daughters they have burnt in the fire to their gods. What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it.

Back to his comments:

Tim Cross:
Krstal..you and I can take any group of verses and make it fit anything that we want

Having the ability to do something doesn’t mean that one will do it. My choice is to live by the Word of God. Not by the whims of men. Therefore, it is not my nature to take the Word of God and twist it. I have and will continue to give clear reference to the Word of God, when discussing anything. Why, because his truth is what makes men free. Not the modified lies of men.

Tim Cross:
so your verses that you quote is entirely out of context. The point that any good Bible schloray knows is that you have to 1. teaches as a whole!! Not just one or two verses that you quote..but if that’s where you are..then that’s where you are.

I am still trying to work this one out in my head. Because we have the ability to do evil, it means that I have done evil, as he disagrees with my choice of scripture. NOTE: he doesn’t disagree with the origins of the holiday, just my choice of scripture. Yet, he uses none.

If you check out the PDF you will clearly see that not only did I use more the a few verses of scripture, I also used them in context. Yet the context is disputed. He gives no correction to my “error” or misusing context, so to speak. He just says that I misused the Word of God, because, again, he doesn’t want to accept what God said.

Galatians 6:1 (KJV)

Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.

Tim Cross:
There is NOBODY that will stand before God and he says: Oh…you are not my child because you had a Christams Tree..I cant let you in…that’s not the BIble I read and study. You have tottally misrepresented the Old Testament … Read Moreverses..totally!!

HERE IS THE BOTTOM LINE TO IT ALL…..

Matthew 7:13 –23 (KJV)

Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Here is some more working out your salvation:

Matthew 7:24 –27 (KJV)

Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.

Tim Cross:
But like I said this isnt the forum..or the format for it. By the way…the Sheperds celebrate the birht of Christ…it’s recorded in scripture….

I am posting the Word of God for your review and you tell me where it says that the Shepherds celebrated the birth of Christ.

Luke 2:7 –20 (KJV)

And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.
And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. (Praising the Father in heaven, not the baby…READ IT!)And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us. (GOING TO SEE, AND CELEBRATING ARE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS. THE BIRTH OF THE SAVIOR WAS PROPHESIED IN THE OLD TESTAMENT AND THEY WERE GOING TO SEE WITH THEIR EYES THE FULFILLMENT OF THE PROPHECY. HOW IS THAT A CELEBRATION?) And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger. And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child. (STILL NO PARTY/CELEBRATION. THEY WENT AND PUBLISHED WHAT WAS TOLD TO THEM TO PEOPLE ABROAD) And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds. But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart. And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them. (THEN THEY WENT BACK TO TENDING TO THEIR FLOCKS, GLORIFYING GOD (THE FATHER IN HEAVEN) FOR ALL THAT THEY HAD HEARD AND SEEN)

I’d say this scripture is a perfect example of a previous quote of his:

Tim Cross:
“Krstal..you and I can take any group of verses and make it fit anything that we want

but hey..if that’s your mission to let people know they aint going to heaven because they Celebrate what you deem as pagan holiday…..go ahead..I’l continue to work with addicts, homeless people, weekly…those that care less whose got a tree or not..those who want to know that a God loved them so much …he gave his only son to die for them…caus ehe wasnt mad at them….but he was (and is) mad about them!! becaue like Paul says..show them the sam comfort…that you received..

You dismantle the rest… I’m bored with this guy. COMPLETELY!!!

Jeremiah 10:2 –4 (KJV)

Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them. For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe. They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.

If he commanded you to NOT LEARN THEIR WAYS, then learning and observing their ways is considered sin to him. Yah think????

This is why you must be spiritually sharp and aware of what the Word of God says. This is a man who stands in a pulpit and preaches to others the “supposed gospel.” (????)

BEWARE!!!!
