To those who desire to continue to grow and learn in the ways of our Beloved Savior and may not yet know these things.
He also came to restore the kingdom. Our part is to repent. It's not just about your sins being covered because of Him paying our debt. We have to stop sinning too. That means we need to know what HE says sin is. Repent means to turn back to. You cannot repent to something that you believe no longer applies. So many believe certain things in His word no longer applies to believers today. And don't forget, even the devils believe. So belief alone is not enough witness to our being saved from eternal death.
From creation our heavenly Father has had a plan for His kingdom. No matter how sincere we are in our worship of Him, if it's not in His plan, we should trade it for what is.
With a voice of love...
If you think worshiping our Messiah is about watching the sun come up after you've offended your children and lied to them about egg laying rabbits, and the center of your meal (in celebration of all of this) is a big ole hunk of swine butt, well..... what bible are you reading? HE is the WORD made flesh. NONE of that stuff describes HIM.
He said remember His death and not to mix worship of Him with ways that have been historically appointed to false gods. He does not change. He was our Passover Lamb. Not a Easter Ham. While it's the bread and wine that represent His body and blood, somehow having swine in celebration of our Perfect Beloved just doesn't make anymore sense to me now that He has opened my understanding more. But regardless of what makes sense to "ME" or any other person, it is something that HE declared was unclean from the beginning. His death and resurrection was not about changing the purpose of the pig. Or ANY other unclean animal. I know the verses that are used to try and justify it all being clean now. But those are just some of the misinterpreted ones , as Peter notes, that are bringing about destruction to some.
We MUST give time to prayer and study or we can easily be deceived. And just because someone has spent years or decades in a school or some other institution supposedly learning what's in the bible, that doesn't mean they are learning the whole truth. We are clearly warned of false teachers appearing as angels of light. That means they will look the part but will not necessarily be teaching the whole truth. And that could be in church buildings, colleges, seminaries, etc etc. We have to be like the Bereans.
****Then: Exo_23:15 Thou shalt keep the feast of unleavened bread:
****Now: 1Co_5:8 Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
See? Nowhere does He ever say we can stop keeping HIS appointed times that testify of Him. Or else that would mean anyone could come up with anything and we'd be a bunch of mixed up and divided people. JUST LIKE WE ARE! He says a divided house cannot stand. Even Paul said not to let anyone judge us in keeping the appointed times and observances given by YHWH.
Even so, Messiah Y'shua TRUMPS anything we misinterpret.
Jots and tittles are still applicable. Heaven and earth have not passed away. smile emoticon
Mat_5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
To all who celebrate our Beloved Messiah, may we all seek the sincere word of truth and may we all desire to become one with Him accordingly.
In love,
your sister in Messiah Y'shua/Jesus
