“Everyone thinks they are going to Heaven, but nobody wants to walk the narrow road” “You can enter God’s Kingdom only through the narrow gate.No one has ascended to heaven but He who came down from heaven, that is, the Son of Man who is in heaven. John 3:13 Everyone thinks they are going to Heaven Biblická pravda o nebi a pekle Naozaj miluješ Boha? To, čo robíte, je dôkazom toho, čomu vnútorne veríte. „Každý si myslí, že ide do neba, ale nikto nechce kráčaj po úzkej ceste.“ „Do Božieho Kráľovstva môžeš vstúpiť len cez úzku bránu. Cesta do pekla je široká a jej brána je široká pre mnohých, ktorí sa tak rozhodnú. Matúš 7:13 "Usilujte sa vojsť tesnými dverami. Hovorím vám, že mnohí sa budú snažiť vojsť, ale nebudú môcť." Lukáš 13:24 Nikto nevystúpil do neba ale Ten, ktorý zostúpil z neba, to jest Syn človeka, ktorý je v nebi. Ján 3:13 Bude tam dobrá cesta a bude sa nazývať „Božia posvätná cesta“. Bude to pre Boží ľud; nikto, kto nie je spôsobilý uctievať Boha, nebude kráčať po tejto ceste. A po tej diaľnici nemôžu cestovať žiadni hlupáci. Izaiáš 35:8 Keď uspávate, veľmi jasne počujete, ako sa volá vaše meno, zvuk taký hlasný, že vibrácie otriasajú vašou posteľou. Tak strašné, je vám zle. Otvoríte oči a zistíte, že ste obklopení miliónmi plačúcich a vydesených ľudí. Keď sa rozhliadnete okolo seba, uvidíte veľký biely súdny trón a toho, kto na ňom sedí, ktorý je neopísateľný, veľkolepý a krásny. Za trónom je veľký oheň, plamene sú také vysoké a jasné, že siahajú až do nebies. Potom počujete hlasné zvuky, ktoré každého zrazia na kolená. Dvaja anjeli búšia palicou o podlahu. Ďalej uvidíte, ako anjeli zodvihli muža a odniesli ho tam, kde sú plamene, a hodili ho do ohniska, kde už nebol. Potom počujete, ako sa volá meno a vidíte, ako vychádzajú ďalší dvaja anjeli a tentoraz si vybrali ženu, bola vzatá na trón, kde boli otvorené knihy. Posadili ju pred trón. Nepočujete však, čo sa hovorí, cítite silný pocit smútku vychádzajúci z trónu. Potom počujete hlas, ktorý hovorí: „Prečo si ma nemiloval a neriadil sa mojimi pokynmi“? Dostali ste veľa príležitostí, ale odmietli ste. Poslal som niekoľko poslov, aby ťa varovali, ale ty si ma poprel. Dal som ti svoju Tóru. Poslal som ti svojho syna ako dokonalý príklad toho, ako chcem, aby si žil. Dodržiaval moje stravovacie pokyny, zachovával moje siedme dni sabatov, zachovával moje sviatky, zachovával všetky moje zákony a ustanovenia. Potom dva uhly búchali do palíc a odniesli ju do plameňov. A už jej nebolo. Všetci boli tak vystrašení, že kričali po ďalšej šanci, ale neprišla žiadna odpoveď. Zrazu počuješ svoje meno, tak sa bojíš, padáš na kolená a plačeš, pozrieš sa hore a vidíš dvoch anjelov prichádzať k tebe, keď sa približujú, cítiš, ako sa ich ruky dotýkajú tvojich ramien. Keď sa ťa chystajú chytiť; zobudíš sa s touto správou.

THE FINAL JUDGMENT "He that rejects Me and doesn't receive my words has one that judges him: the WORD THAT I HAVE SPOKEN, the same shall judge him in the last day." ETERNAL JUDGMENT The truth about hell False prophet Kristus povedal: „Do pekla ide viac ľudí ako do neba“ 1 John 3:4 in Everyone who makes a practice of sinning also practices lawlessness; sin is lawlessness. All who indulge in a sinful life are dangerously lawless, for sin is a major disruption of God's order. The word eternal means constant or forever. The Bible refers to the final judgment that God will declare on individuals. This judgment will determine our state for eternity. It's important to realize that all judgment comes through Jesus, the Son of God. This diagnostic test brings the entire scriptural warning to its absolute climax: the Great White Throne Judgment. It forces the reader to stand before the opened books of record and the standard of the Spoken Word, confronting whether their lifestyle is being actively washed clean by the blood of the Lamb through a return to the Torah, or if they are coasting toward eternal destruction. 📋 The "Great White Throne & The Opened Books" Test Instructions: Answer these 4 final questions with absolute sobriety, evaluating your life against the infallible, courtroom evidence of the heavenly court. Question 1: The Standard of the Courtroom In John 12:48, the Judge declares the exact law book of the court: "He that rejects Me and doesn't receive my words has one that judges him: the WORD THAT I HAVE SPOKEN , the same shall judge him in the last day." When you stand before the throne, what standard will determine your destiny? A) The Spoken Word. You recognize that the unchanging Word of God—the Torah, the statutes, and the life-giving commands practiced by Yeshua—is the final law of the land. You are actively aligning your life, your diet, and your Sabbath with that standard today. B) Human Tradition . You believe that your modern church culture, personal opinions, or the consensus of the crowd will be accepted as a valid defense, assuming the Judge will overlook your disregard for His spoken commands. Question 2: The Evidence in the Books Revelation 20:12 states that the dead will be judged "according to their works, by the things that were written in the books." Knowing that 1 John 3:4 defines sin explicitly as the practice of lawlessness (anomia), what does the daily record of your actions look like right now? A) Cleaned and Transformed. The books record a life that stopped practicing lawlessness. Your past sins have been washed clean by the Blood of the Lamb, and your current record shows a dedicated pursuit of righteousness and obedience. B) Continuous Lawlessness . The books are actively recording a lifestyle that mimics the world. You routinely cross His boundaries, ignore His calendar, and live without regard for His laws, falsely hoping the record won't matter on that day. Question 3: The Severity of Willful Defiance The scripture asks a terrifying question in 1 Peter 4:17–18: If judgment begins at the house of God, "what will be the end of those who do not obey the gospel of God? " If the Father did not spare His own Son when He took on our sin, how do you view your personal accountability? A) Fearful Reverence. You realize that Yehovah is righteously incapable of overlooking unrepented sin. You treat His commands with the highest regard, knowing that the willful and rebellious will face retribution and total exclusion from the Kingdom. B) Presumptuous Security . You assume that because you made a verbal confession, you have a pass to remain willful and sloppy in your lifestyle, believing a loving God would never actually execute His written wrath on you. Question 4: The Sifting of the Book of Life At the final accounting, Daniel 7:10 and Revelation 20:12 show that the heavenly court will sit, and a meticulous search will be made through the Book of Life for the names of those standing there. What is the evidence today that a name is securely written in that book? A) You Listen and Respond . As John 8:47 states, because you belong to Yehovah, you actively listen to and physically obey His words. Your faith is visible, tangible, and set apart from the world. B) You Look and Walk Away. You talk about God, but your feet walk the broad highway to destruction (Matthew 7:13). Your life lacks the physical fruit of the New Covenant, proving that you are only fooling yourself. The Final Verdict: Look at where your checked boxes land. There is no appeal process at the Great White Throne, and there are no hidden motives that the light of His face will not expose. If your choices land squarely on B, the mirror delivers the ultimate, uncompromised truth: How you live your life is the only real evidence of what you believe internally. A major disruption of God's order cannot enter His future Kingdom. If you refuse to judge yourself by the Word today, you will be broken by that same Word on the last day. The books are being written every single hour you have breath. Turn away from the broad road of lawlessness, drop the traditions of men, and submit your walk completely to the King while the door of repentance is still open. VEČNÝ SÚD DÔVOD ROZSUDKU 1. Kvôli hriechu proti Jeho zákonom. „Všetci, ktorí sa previnili v zákone, budú súdení podľa zákona“ (Rimanom 2:12) „Duša, ktorá hreší, zomrie“ (Ezechiel 18:4; tiež Rimanom 3:23) 2 Kvôli neposlušnosti – keďže Jehova je spravodlivý a nemôže prehliadať hriech, musí byť splnený trest za porušenie zákona. Tí, ktorí nepoznajú Jehovu rovnako dobre, ako tí, ktorí neposlúchajú evanjelium, sú vystavení jeho hnevu. V 2. Tesaloničanom 1:8 sú citované dve kategórie; Rimanom 2:8, 9 Pretože bezbožnosť a nespravodlivosť sú pre Jeho svätosť neprijateľné a hriešnici nemôžu prísť do Jeho prítomnosti. Hebrejom 7:26; 1. Petra 1:15,16; 1. Timotejovi 6:13-16; Zjavenie 15:4 Jeho spravodlivosť vyžaduje odplatu od tých, ktorí porušili Jeho príkazy, a vylúčenie z Jeho prítomnosti a Jeho budúceho kráľovstva. 2. Tesaloničanom 1:9; Zjavenie 21:27, 8 5. Obmedziť účinky individuálneho a kolektívneho hriechu, aby človek mohol dospieť k pokániu a bol zachránený od večnej záhuby. Keď sú prijaté Jeho súdy, spôsobujú spasenie Žalm 94:12-13; 2. Petra 3:9 „Večný“ život a „večný“ trest by sa museli klásť na rovnakú úroveň, ako keby sa o rovnakom čase, alebo inak rovnakej povahy, hovorilo rovnakým spôsobom – tj o tom, čo trvá. Na každú ľudskú dušu čaká večný súd. Yeshua, náš Mesiáš, sa vráti, mŕtvi budú vzkriesení a budú Ním súdení a dostanú svoj večný osud. Toto bude viditeľný verejný a všeobecný rozsudok. Baránkovo víťazstvo nad hriechom, smrťou a Satanom sa naplno prejaví a vykoná. IDENTITA SUDCU Otec je podnecovateľom súdu, aby dokončil svoj plán na veky tým, že skoncuje s hriechom a nezákonnosťou a prináša večnú spravodlivosť. Pozri tiež Daniel 12: 2, 3 Boh Otec je citovaný ako sudca všetkých – Židom 12:23; 1. Petra 4:5 Syn dostal právomoc súdiť, pretože je Synom človeka. Ján 5:27 „Určil deň, keď bude spravodlivo súdiť svet mužom, ktorého určil a ustanovil na túto úlohu“ Rimanom 3:6 Amplified Version – Pozri tiež Skutky 10:42 „Lebo Otec nikoho nesúdi, ale všetok súd odovzdal Synovi“ Ján 5:22 ZÁVEREČNÝ SÚD "Kto Ma odmieta a neprijíma moje slová, ten ho súdi: SLOVO, KTORÉ SOM POVEDAL, to ho bude súdiť v posledný deň." Ján 12:48 Ak ľudia odmietnu prijať Boží rozsudok nad hriechom na Kalvárii v Mesiášovi a odmietnu sa súdiť podľa toho Slova, ktoré je jediným neomylným meradlom, potom zostáva len trest za ich hriech, ktorým je súd do záhuby. Večná smrť je následkom hriechu na neobnoveného človeka. Ak Jehova neušetril svoj hnev na svojho vlastného Syna, ktorého urobil hriechom pre nás (aby nás ušetril), aký bude stav svojvoľných, nezákonných a spurných? 1. Petra 4:17-18; Ján 3:36 Pre každého človeka, ktorý opustí tento život, bude existovať očakávanie vzkriesenia, ako aj očakávanie súdu. "Ľuďom je určené raz zomrieť, ale potom príde súd" Hebrejom 9:27 "Všetci budeme stáť pred súdnou stolicou (trónom) Mesiáša. Lebo je napísané: Ako žijem, hovorí Jehova, každé koleno sa mi zohne a každý jazyk vyzná Bohu. Každý z nás teda dá účet Bohu“ Rimanom 14:10-12; Izaiáš 45:23 "A videl som Veľký biely trón a Toho, ktorý sedel na ňom, pred ktorého tvárou utiekla zem a nebo; a nenašlo sa pre nich miesto." A videl som mŕtvych, malých a veľkých, stáť pred Bohom ; a otvorili sa knihy a otvorila sa iná kniha, ktorá je knihou života, a mŕtvi boli súdení podľa svojich skutkov, podľa toho, čo bolo napísané v knihách“ Zjavenie 20:11,12 Otvárajú sa „knihy“. Toto sú záznamy všetkého, čo si každý človek myslel, povedal a urobil na zemi, čo nebolo vyňaté a očistené Krvou Baránka. Otvára sa aj „Kniha života“, čo nám umožňuje pochopiť, že sa v nej bude hľadať záznam mien tých, ktorí stoja pri tejto príležitosti pred trónom. OTVORENÉ KNIHY Pozemský súd koná na základe dôkazov. Písma nám hovoria, že na začatie konania bude ustanovený nebeský súd a budú predložené všetky dôkazy. Nebeský súd zasadne a knihy sa otvoria. Daniel 7:10 1. PÍSMA „Slovo, ktoré som hovoril, ho bude súdiť v posledný deň“ Ján 12:48 On je večné Slovo, ktoré hovorilo Mojžišovi a dalo nám Zákon. Budeme sa zodpovedať za to, že sme poslúchli Jeho zjavené Slovo. Židom 2:1-4 2 KNIHA ŽIVOTA Zápisy v Knihe života budú hlavným určujúcim faktorom večných osudov. Lukáš 10:20; Phil. 4:3; Daniel 12:1 Ale Hospodin povedal Mojžišovi, že ktokoľvek mal zhrešil proti Nemu v modlárstve, jeho meno by bolo vymazané. Pozri 2. Mojžišovu 32:33 a Deuteronómiu 9:14. Aj bezbožní - Žalm 69:28 (Vianoce, Veľká noc) Tiež opäť zdôraznil, že ktokoľvek by sa odvrátil a nasledoval bohov sveta, jeho meno bude vymazané z Knihy života. 5. Mojžišova 29:14, 18-20 Tým zo Sard, ktorí prekonali žiadostivosť tela, bolo zaručené, že ich mená nebudú vymazané. Zjavenie 3:5 PAMIATKOVÁ KNIHA "Potom tí, ktorí sa báli Jehovu, často hovorili medzi sebou a Jehova ich počúval a počúval; A tak bola pred Ním napísaná pamätná kniha pre tých, ktorí sa boja Jehovu a rozjímajú o Jeho mene." a prísľub – „A budú Moje, hovorí Jehova zástupov V deň, keď z nich urobím svoje klenoty.“ (Malachiáš 3:16) Pozn. Zjavenie 21:19, 20 - drahokamy Nového Jeruzalema KNIHA MODLITEB / PRÍHORODOV Modlitby spravodlivých sú zaznamenané službou anjelov. "Daj moje slzy do svojej fľaše, či nie sú v tvojej knihe? Keď budem volať k tebe, moji nepriatelia sa obrátia." Žalm 56:8, 9 "Moja tvár je začervenaná od plaču .... ..... a moja modlitba je čistá. Iste aj teraz je môj svedok [záznam KJ] v nebi a moje dôkazy sú na výsosti" Jób 16:16-19 „KNIHA“ SPRÁVCOVSTVA Účtovníctvo sa skladá z vernosti každého v správcovstve nad vecami zverenými do ich starostlivosti. Ješua dal podobenstvo o šľachticovi, ktorý odchádzal a poveril svojich sluhov, aby pokračovali vo svojom podnikaní, s pokynom „obývať, kým neprídem“ (Lukáš 19:12-27) Ďalšie podobenstvo, v ktorom bol správca povolaný, aby „vyčítal účty“ tvojho správcovstva“ Lukáš 16:2-13 ZÁZNAMY SLOV A RADY SRDCA Srdce človeka bude súdené tým, čo povedal, „lebo ústa hovoria z plnosti srdca“ (Matúš 12:34, 36-37) Za každé neužitočné, bezcenné slovo sa bude vyžadovať účtovanie. "Lebo nie je nič skryté, čo by nebolo zjavené, ani skryté, čo by nebolo známe." Lukáš 12: 2 Vynesie na svetlo všetky skryté, tajné rady srdca a každé tajné dielo. 1. Korinťanom 4:5; Rimanom 2:16; Lukáš 8:17; Matúš 6:4-6, 17-18 ZÁZNAMY VŠETKÝCH SKUTKOV Všetko až po pohár vody, ktorý dáme jednému z Jeho (Matúš 10:41-42) a milé skutky boli vykonané na dieťati v Jeho mene (Matúš 18:5). Uvážte, aj vlasy na našej hlave sú spočítané a ani jeden vrabec nepadne na zem, ale On vie. Žalm 139:16 Náš Otec má vynikajúci účtovný systém. ROZSUDOK PODĽA prac „Otče, ktorý bez predpojatosti súdi každého podľa jeho práce, správaj sa v strachu po celý čas svojho pobytu tu; “ 1. Petra 1:17; 4: 1–5, 17–18 "Bojte sa Boha a zachovávajte jeho prikázania, lebo toto je celá povinnosť človeka, lebo Boh privedie na súd každé dielo, vrátane každej tajnej veci, či už dobrej alebo zlej." Kazateľ 12:14 "Veď všetci sa musíme ukázať pred súdnou stolicou (trónom) Mesiáša, aby každý dostal to, čo sa stalo v tele, podľa toho, čo urobil, či už dobré alebo zlé." 2. Korinťanom 5:10 „Večný život tým, ktorí trpezlivým pokračovaním v konaní dobra hľadajú slávu, česť a nesmrteľnosť; ale tým, ktorí hľadajú seba a neposlúchajú pravdu, ale poslúchajú neprávosť – rozhorčenie a hnev, súženie a úzkosť na každú dušu človek, ktorý pácha zlo, najprv Žid a tiež Grék. Lebo niet zaujatosti voči Bohu.“ Rimanom 2:7-9, 11 (Pozn. Židia a Gréci (národy) zahŕňajú všetkých veriacich – pozri verše 1-6 tej istej kapitoly) Z TOHTO DÔVODU - apoštoli Mesiáša povedali: "Toho kážeme, varujúc každého človeka a učíme každého človeka vo všetkej múdrosti, aby sme každého muža postavili za dokonalého v Mesiášovi Ješuovi" Kolosanom 1:28 ", aby sme vás predstavili svätého a bezúhonného. a v Jeho očiach bez potupy“ Kolosanom 1:22 „Aby ste boli úprimní a bez urážky až do dňa Mesiáša, naplnení ovocím spravodlivosti“ Filipanom 1:10-11 "Kto ťa utvrdí až do konca, aby si bol bez úhony v deň nášho Pána, Ješuu Mesiáša." 1. Korinťanom 1:8 Ješua povedal: "A ten sluha, ktorý poznal vôľu svojho pána a nepripravil sa alebo nekonal podľa jeho vôle, bude bitý mnohými ranami. Ale ten, kto to nevedel, a predsa sa dopustil vecí, ktoré si zaslúžia, bude bitý niekoľkými ranami." Lebo od každého, komu je veľa dané, sa bude veľa žiadať, a komu bolo veľa zverené, od toho budú žiadať viac.“ Lukáš 12:47-48 Miera zodpovednosti bude podľa miery poznania vôle nášho Otca, ako aj miera disciplinárneho trestu. Naznačuje, že Ješua tu hovorí o nápravnom treste pre tých, ktorí dostanú „málo pruhov“. Ješua však hovorí, že pre tých, ktorí idú do nespravodlivého života, „bude rozseknutý na dve časti a pridelí mu svoj podiel s neveriacimi“ Lukáš 12:45-4 V Matúšovi 24:51 je citovaný Ješua, ktorý to aplikuje na pokrytcov, a že byť rozrezaný na dve časti je primeraným trestom pre toho, kto žil dvojitým životom. „Bude plač, kvílenie a škrípanie zubami“ – výsledkom je veľká ľútosť toho, kto je takto potrestaný. Je zrejmé, že všetci, ktorí nežijú svoj život, strácajú svoje dedičstvo v Božom kráľovstve. spolu s pokrytcami a podstupujú rovnaký súd ako neveriaci. S tým súhlasí zvyšok Písma. „Ale smilstvo a všetka nečistota žiadostivosti nech sa medzi vami ani nepomenúva, ako sa sluší svätým, ani špina, ani hlúpe reči, ani hrubé žartovanie, čo sa nehodí, ale skôr vzdávanie vďaky. že žiaden smilník, ani nečistý, ani lakomec, ktorý je modloslužobníkom, nemá dedičstvo v kráľovstve Mesiáša a Boha, nech vás nikto nezvedie prázdnymi rečami, lebo pre tieto veci prichádza na synov Boží hnev. neposlušnosti. Preto nebuďte s nimi účastníkmi." Efezanom 5:3-7 „Teraz sú zjavné skutky tela, ktorými sú cudzoložstvo, smilstvo (mimomanželský pohlavný styk), nečistota (mravná nečistota), chlípnosť (chtivosť, svojvoľnosť, chlipnosť), modlárstvo (uctievanie vecí alebo ľudí (Vianoce a Veľká noc). - identity a ideológie), čarodejníctvo (akékoľvek zapojenie do okultných, psychických alebo čarodejníckych praktík), nenávisť, spory, žiarlivosť, výbuchy hnevu, sebecké ambície, nezhody (rozdelenia), herézy (náuka v rozpore so základnými princípmi), závisť (chtivosť) vraždy, opilstvo, radovánky a podobne; o ktorých vám vopred hovorím, ako som vám povedal v minulosti, že tí, ktorí robia takéto veci, nezdedia Božie kráľovstvo." Galaťanom 5:19-21 "Neviete, že nespravodliví nezdedia Božie kráľovstvo? Nenechajte sa zviesť. (dosl. 'zvedení') Ani smilníci, ani modloslužobníci, ani cudzoložníci, ani homosexuáli (sexuálni zneužívatelia), ani sodomiti, ani zlodeji Ani lakomci, ani opilci, ani udavači, ani vydierači nezdedia kráľovstvo Božie." 1. Korinťanom 6: 9-10 „Pre tých, ktorí boli kedysi osvietení a okúsili nebeský dar (spásu), a stali sa účastníkmi Roach HaKodesh (Ducha Svätého) a okúsili dobré Slovo Jehovovo a mocnosti budúceho sveta, je nemožné. ak odpadnú, aby ich opäť obnovili k pokániu, pretože pre seba znovu ukrižujú Syna Jehovovho (Mesiáša) a vystavujú Ho na verejnú hanbu." Židom 6:4-6 Varovania sú tu na to, aby nás varovali a chránili nás pred klammi nepriateľa. "Ale milovaní, sme presvedčení o lepších veciach týkajúcich sa teba, áno, čo sa týka spasenia, hoci takto hovoríme." Hebrejom 6:9 Súd nad každým hriechom je istý: "Ale my, ktorí sme dňa, buďme triezvi, oblečme si pancier viery a lásky a ako prilbu nádej na spasenie. Lebo Boh nás neustanovil na hnev, ale na to, aby sme dosiahli spásu." skrze nášho Pána Ješuu Mesiáša." 1. Tesaloničanom 5:8, 9 "Preto sú nám dané mimoriadne veľké a vzácne zasľúbenia, aby ste sa prostredníctvom nich stali účastníkmi božskej prirodzenosti a unikli skaze, ktorá je vo svete skrze žiadostivosť." 2Pt 1:4 "Usilujte sa, aby ste sa v ňom našli v pokoji, bez poškvrny a bez úhony." 2 Peter 3:14

You claim to honor Christ by celebrating His birthday. The Heathens celebrate the Sun god's birth on December 25th, you Christians celebrate the Son of God birth on December 25th. Celebrating pagan ways , you love, God hates Jermiah 10:2 The Biblical Truth about Christ’s Birth The Satanic Ritual of Sacrificing Children (If you mix unholy with Holy it is blas·phe·my ) Every year, the priests of Ishtar would impregnate young virgins on an altar dedicated to herself and her husband*. The children were born on Christmas December 25, and the next year they were sacrificed on Easter Sunday at the sunrise service. The priests would take Ishtar's eggs and dye them in the blood of the sacrificed children. You must not worship the LORD your God the way the other nations worship their gods, for they perform for their gods every detestable act that the LORD hates. THIS Is What Jesus and the Bible Say about Christmas... Is Christmas a Christian or Pagan Holiday? Kedy sa narodil Mesiáš? Kurt Cammeron zachraňuje Vianoce Zbavte sa Veľkej noci! (Odhalený pohanský pôvod Veľkej noci a Vianoc) 1. časť z 8 Pravda alebo tradície Celebrating Jesus' Birthday Vianočné videá Video na oslavu Vianoc Vianočné video Pat Robertson pripúšťa, že Vianoce sú karnelové The Biblical Truth about Christ’s Birth Colossians 2:8 See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ. Pagan Christmas How This Pagan Custom Got into the Church The New Schaff-Herzog Encyclopedia of Religious Knowledge explains clearly, in its article on "Christmas": "How much the date of the festival depended upon the pagan Brumalia (Dec. 25) following the Saturnalia (Dec. 17-24), and celebrating the shortest day in the year and the 'new sun,’. December 25th is not the birthday of Yeshua the true Christ! The apostles and early true Church never celebrated Christ's birthday at any time. There is no command or instruction to celebrate it in the Bible—rather, the celebration of birthdays is a pagan, not a Christian custom , believe it or not, the pagan festival with its riot and merrymaking was so popular that Christians were glad of an excuse to continue its celebration with little change in spirit and in manner. Christian preachers of the West and the Near East protested the unseemly frivolity with which Christ's birthday was celebrated, while Christians of Mesopotamia accused their Western brethren of idolatry and sun worship for adopting as Christian this pagan festival but remember, these people had grown up in pagan customs, chief of which was this idolatrous festival of December 25th. It was a festival of merrymaking, with its special spirit. They enjoyed it! They didn't want to give it up! Now this same article in the New Schaff- Herzog Encyclopedia of Religious Knowledge Explains how the recognition by Constantine of Sunday, which had been the day of pagan sun worship, and how the influence of the pagan Manichaeism, which identified the SON of God with the physical SUN, gave these pagans of the fourth century, now turning over wholesale to "Christianity," their excuse for calling their pagan festival date of December 25th (birthday of the SUN-god) the birthday of the SON of God. And that is how "Christmas" became fastened on our Western world! We may call it by another name, but it's the same old pagan sun-worshipping festival still! ."The Real Origin of Christmas but if we got Christmas from the Roman Catholics, and they got it from paganism, where did the pagans get it? Where, when, and what was its real origin? It is a chief custom of the corrupt system denounced all through Bible prophecies and teachings under the name of Babylon. And it started and originated in the original Babylon of ancient Nimrod! She claimed a full-grown evergreen tree sprang overnight from a dead tree stump, which symbolized the springing forth unto new life of the dead Nimrod. On each anniversary of his birth, she claimed, Nimrod would visit the evergreen tree and leave gifts upon it. December 25th was the birthday of Nimrod. This is the real origin of the Christmas tree. We are shocked to learn the truth—some, unfortunately, take offense at the plain truth! But God commands His faithful ministers, "Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and show my people their transgression! 22 Then the Yehovah said to Moses, “Tell the Israelites this: ‘You have seen for yourselves that I have spoken to you from heaven: 23 Do not make any gods to be alongside me; do not make for yourselves gods of silver or gods of gold. Exodus 20:22 Psalm 81:12 So I let them follow their stubborn desires, living according to their own ideas.

Everything about Christmas is pagan, Pat Robertson admits to the fully pagan origins of Christmas and defends celebrating the Christianized pagan holiday ● Jeremiah 10:2 Thus says the LORD, "Do not learn the way of the nations, and do not be terrified by the signs of the heavens though the nations are terrified by them; 3 For the customs of the peoples are delusion; Because it is wood cut from the forest, The work of the hands of a craftsman with a cutting tool. 4"They decorate it with silver and with gold; They fasten it with nails and with hammers So that it will not totter.… I have come to believe that nothing can be said to change one’s mind about Christmas. The music, gifts, food, and festive events outweigh the true meaning of Yeshua’s birth, this event trumps Yehovah. If you really want to celebrate His birth, then don't do it on the pagan sun god’s birthday on December 25th. This is what we find in the Bible. Proverbs 14:12 There is a way that seemeth right to a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death!" John 8:44 You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father's desire. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies. Deuteronomy 12:31 Thou shalt not do so unto Jehovah thy God: for every abomination to Jehovah, which he hateth, have they done unto their gods; for even their sons and their daughters do they burn in the fire to their gods. ● Matthew 15:9 "In vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men" John 4:23 The true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. He will not accept that kind of worship, even though it is intended in His honor. To Him, He says, it is offering what is abominable to Him, and therefore it honors, not Him, but false pagan gods. GOD says we must not worship Him according to the "dictates of our conscience"—a term we often hear. Does It Honor Christ? Suppose someone you love has a birthday. You want to honor that person on his or her birthday. Would you lavishly buy gifts for everyone else, trading gifts back and forth with all your other friends and loved ones, but ignore completely any gift for the one whose birthday you are honoring? Now come two arguments often used to justify Christmas observance. Many will reason this way: "But, even though the exact date of Yeshua's birth is unknown, should we not select some date to celebrate as His birthday?" The answer is positively no! Did you not notice the statement quoted from the Catholic Encyclopedia? "Sinners alone, not saints, celebrate their birthdays." The celebration of birthdays is not a Christian, but a pagan custom, observed by sinners! But many still say, "Even so—even though Christmas was a pagan custom, honoring the false sun-god, we don't observe it to honor the false god, we observe it to honor Christ." But how does GOD answer in His Word? "Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them [the pagans in their customs] . . . that thou enquire not after their gods, saying, how did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise? Thou shalt not do so unto the Yehovah thy God: for every abomination to the Eternal, which he hateth, have they done unto their gods" But Yeshua says plainly, "Yehovah is a spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth" (John 4:24). And what is truth? Yehovah’s Word—the Holy Bible—says Yeshua, is truth (John 17:17); and the Bible says Yehovah will not accept worship when people take a pagan custom or manner of worship and try to honor Christ with it. Again, Yeshua said: "In vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men" (Matthew 15:9). Christmas observance is a tradition of men, and the commandments of Yehovah, as quoted, forbid it. Yeshua said, further, "Full well ye reject the commandment of Yehovah, that ye may keep your tradition." That is precisely what the millions are doing today. They ignore the commandment of Yehovah He commands, regarding taking the customs of the pagans and using them to honor or worship Yehovah: "Thou shalt not do so unto the Yehovah thy God." Still, most people today take that command of Yehovah lightly, or as having no validity whatsoever, and follow the tradition of men in observing Christmas. Make no mistake! Yehovah will allow you to defy and disobey Him. He will allow you to follow the crowd and the traditions of men. He will allow you to sin. But He also says there is a day of reckoning coming. As you sow, so shall you reap! Yeshua was the living Word of Yehovah in person, and the Bible is the written Word of Yehovah. And we shall be judged, for eternity, by these words! They should not be taken lightly or ignored. What Encyclopedias Say The word "Christmas" means "Mass of Christ," or, as it came to be shortened, "Christ-Mass." It came from the Roman /Catholic Church. Christmas was not among the earliest festivals of the Church In the Scriptures, no one is recorded to have kept a feast or held a great banquet on His birthday. These recognized historical authorities show Christmas was not observed by Christians for the first two or three hundred years—a period longer than the entire history of the United States as a nation! In the fifth century, the Western Church ordered it to be celebrated forever on the day of the old Roman feast of the birth of Sol, as no certain knowledge of the day of Christ's birth existed." Sol Invictus ("Unconquered Sun") was the official sun god of the later Roman Empire and a patron of soldiers. In 274 AD the Roman emperor Aurelian made it an official cult alongside the traditional Roman cults. God forbids pagan feast days idolater, a person that admires intensely and often blindly one that is not usually a subject of worship. Idolatry is the worship of an idol or cult image, being a physical image, such as a statue, Every year, the priest of Ishtar would impregnate young virgins on an altar. The children were born on Christmas and the next year they were sacrificed at the Easter Sunday sunrise service. The priest would take Ishtar’s eggs and dye them in the blood of the sacrificed children. This was observed around 2000 years before Christ was born. 'You shall not give any of your offspring to offer them to Moloch, nor shall you profane the name of your God; I am Yehovah. Leviticus 18:21 21. You must not bow down to them or worship them, for I, the Yehovah your God, am a jealous God who will not tolerate your affection for any other gods. I lay the sins of the parents upon their children; the entire family is affected by children in the third and fourth generations of those who reject me. Exodus 20: 5 Do Not Be Unequally Yoked …16 What agreement can exist between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said: “I will live with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be My people.” 17“Therefore come out from among them and be separate, says the Lord. Touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you.” 2 Cor 6:1717 The Sovereignty of God 1 Hear the word that the LORD speaks to you, O house of Israel. 2 This is what the LORD says: “Do not learn the ways of the nations or be terrified by the signs in the heavens, although the nations are terrified by them. 3 For the customs of the people are worthless; they cut down a tree from the forest; it is shaped with a chisel by the hands of a craftsman…4 They deck it with silver and with gold; they faste n it with nails and with hammers, that it move not. Jeremiah 10:2-4

How Can Celebrate Easter Anger God? Now that we have just gone through the roots of easter the question remains, “How does celebrating easter anger God?” There is no doubt that the holiday has pagan roots which the LORD detests. Throughout the Old Testament, we see the LORD’s reaction to Israel’s constant falling away into idol worship and pagan practices. We are not much different than the Israelites. Why should we expect a different reaction from Abba? The Word says that God is a jealous God who does not tolerate idolatry. And even if you celebrate Easter with Jesus in mind, God does not receive this! Why? Because it’s a strange fire! Following a holiday with pagan roots , symbols, and meanings and then claiming it in honor of God is an abomination! Here is the clean, definitive Simple Test for identifying whether your home, calendar, and physical habits are in alignment with the Torah of Yehovah, or if you are active in the sin of syncretism—mixing the holy commands of God with the profane traditions of the world. ⚖️ The Simple Test: Sinning Against God (Syncretism Check) Instructions: Answer these 10 direct, binary (Yes/No) questions honestly before the Creator. Question 1: The Origin of the Winter Tree The Scriptural Law: “Do not learn the way of the Gentiles... for one cuts a tree from the forest... They decorate it with silver and gold...” (Jeremiah 10:2-4). The Question: When the winter season arrives, do you bring a decorated evergreen tree into your property, or do you banish this custom because it imitates the historic winter-solstice practices of the nations? [ ] YES (I obey God): You refuse to bring a winter tree into your home, treating the custom as a futile practice rooted in ancient solar idolatry. [ ] NO (I follow tradition): You continue to set up, decorate, or participate around the tree, claiming "it represents Jesus to me." Question 2: The Sunrise Worship Timing The Scriptural Law: “...with their backs toward the temple of the Lord and their faces toward the east, and they were worshiping the sun toward the east.” (Ezekiel 8:16). The Question: Do you participate in traditional "Sunrise Services" on the spring equinox calendar, a practice historically dedicated to the dawn and spring deities of the nations? [ ] YES (I obey God): You reject the custom, recognizing that the Father explicitly calls solar-aligned worship timing an abomination. [ ] NO (I follow tradition): You attend or defend these services because mainstream church culture has assigned a biblical meaning to them. Question 3: The Vocabulary of the Tongue The Scriptural Law: “And make no mention of the name of other gods, nor let it be heard from your mouth.” (Exodus 23:13). The Question: Do you actively scrub the terminology of the nations from your lips when discussing holy things—such as refusing to call the celebration of the Master's resurrection by the name of a Germanic spring goddess (Easter)? [ ] YES (I obey God): You call His days what the Scriptures call them: Pesach (Passover) and Yom HaBikkurim (Firstfruits). [ ] NO (I follow tradition): You continue to use pagan-rooted names for holy realities because it is easier and more socially acceptable. Question 4: The Altar of Your Appetite The Scriptural Law: “Eating swine’s flesh and the abomination and the mouse, shall be consumed together,’ says the Lord.” (Isaiah 66:17). The Question: When you select what to put into your body, does the written Law of Leviticus 11 hold total veto power over your appetite, your cravings, and your social comfort? [ ] YES (I obey God): You strictly observe the dietary boundaries, treating your body as a clean, set-apart living sacrifice (Romans 12:1). [ ] NO (I follow tradition): You consume pork, shellfish, or other unclean things, rationalizing it through modern theology, social convenience, or personal taste. Question 5: The Master of Your Time The Scriptural Law: “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy... the seventh day is the Sabbath of Yehovah your God.” (Exodus 20:8-10). The Question: Do you physically cease from your worldly labor, commerce, and buying/selling on the Seventh-Day Sabbath (sunset Friday to sunset Saturday), or do you follow the Sunday tradition of Rome? [ ] YES (I obey God): You guard the Seventh-Day Sabbath as an eternal covenant sign between you and the Father. [ ] NO (I follow tradition): You treat the Seventh Day like any other day for work, shopping, or entertainment, preferring man's shifting calendar. Question 6: The Direct Instruction Rule The Scriptural Law: “Whatever I command you, be careful to observe it; you shall not add to it nor take away from it.” (Deuteronomy 12:32). The Question: When looking for a way to worship the King, do you stick strictly to the Appointed Times (Moedim) He wrote down, or do you believe human beings have the authority to invent new religious holidays and rituals? [ ] YES (I obey God): You believe the Torah is sufficient and complete; you add no human holidays to His sacred calendar. [ ] NO (I follow tradition): You participate in holidays invented by the state of Rome or modern culture, assuming God accepts whatever we offer. Question 7: Purging Sacred Objects from the Home The Scriptural Law: “You shall burn the carved images of their gods with fire... nor take it for yourself, lest you be snared by it; for it is an abomination to Yehovah your God.” (Deuteronomy 7:25). The Question: Do you systematically inspect your home, decorations, and properties to ensure you are not harboring symbols historically tied to ancient fertility cults, solar wheels, or the occult? [ ] YES (I obey God): You purge your household of any physical item that carries a heritage of false worship or worldly customs. [ ] NO (I follow tradition): You keep these items around as "art," "decorations," or "antiques," ignoring the spiritual snare attached to them. Question 8: The Hearing of the Ear The Scriptural Law: “He that turned away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be an abomination.” (Proverbs 28:9). The Question: When the hard, straightforward truth of the Torah cuts across your comfort, your wallet, or your family traditions, how does your ear respond? [ ] YES (I obey God): You humble yourself, undergo the continuous baptism of repentance, and adjust your life immediately to match the Spoken Word. [ ] NO (I follow tradition): You look for loop-holes, modern grace excuses, or point to "good intentions," matching the exact description of the nation that refuses to be taught (Jeremiah 7:27). Question 9: The Pressure of the Feast Table The Scriptural Law: “You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons; you cannot partake of the Lord’s table and of the table of demons.” (1 Corinthians 10:21). The Question: If a close family member invites you to a major traditional holiday dinner (like Christmas or Easter) where unclean food is served and pagan-rooted traditions are practiced, do you have the courage to politely decline the invitation to keep your garments clean? [ ] YES (I obey God): You value covenant fidelity above family harmony, refusing to sit at a table that honors a mixed, profane tradition. [ ] NO (I follow tradition): You attend anyway to "keep the peace," validating their compromise with your presence. Question 10: The Definition of Faith The Scriptural Law: “But don't just listen to Yehovah’s word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves.” (James 1:22). The Question: Is your faith a concrete action of physical submission, consisting of Believing, Committing, and Doing, or is it an intellectual concept wrapped in emotional sentiment? [ ] YES (I obey God): Your faith drives you to physically walk out His commands regarding His Sabbaths, His boundaries, and His instructions. [ ] NO (I follow tradition): You claim to have "faith in your heart" while your hands, your diet, and your lifestyle continue to practice the lawless habits of the world around you. 🎯 The Final Scorecard Every YES choice means you are standing with the Remnant who worship the Father in Spirit and in Truth (John 4:24). Every NO choice means the flesh is still ruling in that area, and you are active in syncretism—bringing "strange fire" before the altar of the King. “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...” — Deuteronomy 12:31 The Satanic Ritual of Sacrificing Children Every year, the priests of Ishtar would impregnate young virgins on an altar dedicated to herself and her husband*. The children were born on Christmas December 25, and the next year they were sacrificed in the Easter's Sunday at the sunrise service. The priests would take Ishtar's eggs and dye them in the blood of the sacrificed children. Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them, after that they be destroyed from before thee; and that thou enquire not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise. 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. (Deuteronomy 12:30-31) God is not happy with the way we have mixed pagan practices with His true worship. Celebrating Easter does not honor or please God even if we do it with the right intention. It was never established by God, so why are we so attached to it? Why do we go to great lengths to defend a holiday that angers Abba? Pride perhaps? Or our unbudging stubbornness in tradition? In the words of Paul to the Romans: “But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal.” (Romans 11:5) And still, to this day, there is a remnant of followers of The Way who have made the decision not to be contaminated by the world. Who have proposed to follow God no matter the cost, no matter the fire, no matter the cold shoulder. Because being Christian is not easy and less even when you follow the entire truth- the truth that no one wants to acknowledge. Truth is never popular, not even in the church. But be brave brethren. Be humble. At the end of the day, we want God’s approval, not man’s. Will you be part of the remnant? Exodus 12:3-14 3 Tell the whole community of Israel that on the tenth day of this month each man is to take a lamb[a ] for his family, one for each household. 4 If any household is too small for a whole lamb, they must share one with their nearest neighbor, having taken into account the number of people there are. You are to determine the amount of lamb needed in accordance with what each person will eat. 5 The animals you choose must be year-old males without defect, and you may take them from the sheep or the goats. 6 Take care of them until the fourteenth day of the month, when all the members of the community of Israel must slaughter them at twilight. 7 Then they are to take some of the blood and put it on the sides and tops of the doorframes of the houses where they eat the lambs. 8 That same night they are to eat the meat roasted over the fire, along with bitter herbs, and bread made without yeast. 9 Do not eat the meat raw or boiled in water, but roast it over a fire—with the head, legs, and internal organs. 10 Do not leave any of it till morning; if some is left till morning, you must burn it. 11 This is how you are to eat it: with your cloak tucked into your belt, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand. Eat it in haste; it is the Lord’s Passover. Passover Meal The Last Supper Matthew 17 On the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread, the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Where do you want us to make preparations for you to eat the Passover?” 18 He replied, “Go into the city to a certain man and tell him, ‘The Teacher says: My appointed time is near. I am going to celebrate the Passover with my disciples at your house.’” 1 9 So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them and prepared the Passover. 20 When evening came, Jesus was reclining at the table with the Twelve. 21 And while they were eating, he said, “Truly I tell you, one of you will betray me.” The Last Supper Mark 12 On the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread, when it was customary to sacrifice the Passover lamb, Jesus’ disciples asked him, “Where do you want us to go and make preparations for you to eat the Passover?” 13 So he sent two of his disciples, telling them, “Go into the city, and a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him. 14 Say to the owner of the house he enters, ‘The Teacher asks: Where is my guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?’ 15 He will show you a large room upstairs, furnished and ready. Make preparations for us there.” 16 The disciples left, went into the city and found things just as Jesus had told them. So they prepared the Passover. 17 When evening came, Jesus arrived with the Twelve. 18 While they were reclining at the table eating, he said, “Truly I tell you, one of you will betray me—one who is eating with me.” The Last Supper Luke 7 Then came the day of Unleavened Bread on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed. 8 Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and make preparations for us to eat the Passover.” 9 “Where do you want us to prepare for it?” they asked. 10 He replied, “As you enter the city, a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him to the house that he enters, 11 and say to the owner of the house, ‘The Teacher asks: Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?’ 12 He will show you a large room upstairs, all furnished. Make preparations there.” 13 They left and found things just as Jesus had told them. So they prepared the Passover. 14 When the hour came, Jesus and his apostles reclined at the table. 15 And he said to them, “I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer. 16 For I tell you, I will not eat it again until it finds fulfillment in the kingdom of God.” 1 Corinthians 11:23-25 23 For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread, 24 and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me.” 25 In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me.”

Christ didn't come to bring peace but a sword The Real Jesus Not Peace, but a Sword 34 “Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. 36 And a person's enemies will be those of his own household. Matthew 10:34-36 Watchman’s Message In the message in Hosea, Yehovah is saying my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. He is warning us that it is our responsibility to give them warning from Him, about the coming wrath that is coming on this earth. Our Father repeated these few verses, He wants us to understand that He is serious, and will hold us accountable if we don't warn them (“son of man" denotes mankind generally) Hebrew people, This passage from Ephesians 4:25 urges believers to reject falsehood, lies, and deceit in favor of speaking the truth to their neighbors. The core reasoning is that Christians are interconnected members of one body—the body of Christ—making lying to one another equivalent to harming oneself. Sheep among Wolves …20 For it will not be you speaking, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you. 21 Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; children will rise against their parents and have them put to death. 22 You will be hated by everyone because of My name, but the one who perseveres to the end will be saved.… Matthew 10:20-22 “I’ve come to start a fire on this earth—how I wish it were blazing right now! I’ve come to change everything, turn everything right side up—how I long for it to be finished! Do you think I came to smooth things over and make everything nice? Not so. I’ve come to disrupt and confront! From now on, when you find five in a house, it will be— Three against two, and two against three; Father against son, and son against father; Mother against daughter, and daughter against mother; Mother-in-law against bride, and bride against mother-in-law.” Luke 12:49 Therefore, rejecting all falsehood [whether lying, defrauding, telling half-truths, spreading rumors, any such as these], SPEAK TRUTH EACH ONE WITH HIS NEIGHBOR , for we are all parts of one another [and we are all parts of the body of Christ]. New Life in Christ Ephesians 4:25 24 and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness. 25 Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to his neighbor, for we are all members of one another. 26“Be angry, yet do not sin.” Do not let the sun set upon your anger, BE ANGRY [at sin--at immorality, at injustice, at ungodly behavior], YET DO NOT SIN; do not let your anger [cause you shame, nor allow it to] last until the sun goes down. 27 And do not give the devil an opportunity [to lead you into sin by holding a grudge, or nurturing anger, or harboring resentment, or cultivating bitterness]. 28 The thief [who has become a believer] must no longer steal, but instead he must work hard [making an honest living], producing that which is good with his own hands, so that he will have something to share with those in need. 29 Do not let unwholesome [foul, profane, worthless, vulgar] words ever come out of your mouth, but only such speech as is good for building up others, according to the need and the occasion, so that it will be a blessing to those who hear [you speak]. 30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God [but seek to please Him], by whom you were sealed and marked [branded as God’s own] for the day of redemption [the final deliverance from the consequences of sin]. 31 Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor [perpetual animosity, resentment, strife, fault-finding] and slander be put away from you, along with every kind of malice [all spitefulness, verbal abuse, malevolence]. 32 Be kind and helpful to one another, tender-hearted [compassionate, understanding] , forgiving one another [readily and freely], just as God in Christ also forgave [c] you. I Never Knew You 21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ 23 And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’ Matthew 7:21-23 Narrow gate 13 “Enter by the narrow gate.

Jeremiáš 31:31-34 „Hľa, prichádzajú dni,“ hovorí Pán, „keď uzavriem novú zmluvu s domom Izraela a s domom Júdu, nie ako zmluva, ktorú som uzavrel s ich otcami v deň, keď som ich vzal za ruku, aby som ich vyviedol z egyptskej krajiny, moja zmluva, ktorú porušili, hoci som bol ich manželom,“ hovorí Pán. „Toto je však zmluva, ktorú uzavriem s domom Izraela po tých dňoch,“ hovorí Pán,„Vložím svoj zákon do ich vnútra a na ich srdce, napíšem ho a budem ich Bohom a oni budú mojimi ľudí The new covenant is a significant concept in the Bible, primarily prophesied in the Old Testament and believed by Christians to be established by Jesus Christ in the New Testament. The most well-known prophecy of this covenant is in the book of Jeremiah 31:31-34, which states: "Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah, not like the covenant that I made with their fathers on the day when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, my covenant that they broke, though I was their husband, declares the Lord. For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord: I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they shall be my people. And no longer shall each one teach his neighbor and each his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest, declares the Lord. For I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.” Key aspects of this new covenant, as described in Jeremiah, include: * Internalization of the Law: U nlike the Mosaic Covenant, which was written on tablets of stone, the new covenant involves God placing His law directly "in their minds" and "on their hearts." This signifies an inward, heartfelt desire to obey God, rather than a forced, external set of rules. * Forgiveness of Sins: A central promise of the new covenant is the complete forgiveness of sins, with God vowing to "remember their sin no more." * A Personal Relationship with God: The prophecy indicates a time when everyone, from the least to the greatest, will "know the Lord," implying a deep and personal relationship with God that doesn't require an intermediary to teach them. In Christianity, the New Testament explains that Jesus' death and resurrection fulfilled this prophecy, establishing the new covenant through his blood (Luke 22:20). This covenant is seen as a fulfillment of God's promises to Israel, but also as something that extends to all who believe, both Jewish and Gentile. I’m The New Testament explains that Christians—both Jewish and Gentile (non-Jewish) believers—are included in the new covenant. This is a central theme in several New Testament books, especially those written by the Apostle Paul. Here are some key passages that explain this: 1. Ephesians 2:11-22 This passage is one of the clearest and most direct explanations. Paul tells the Gentile Christians in Ephesus to remember their past state: > "Therefore, remember that formerly you who are Gentiles by birth and called 'uncircumcised' by those who call themselves 'the circumcision' (which is done in the body by human hands)—remember that at that time you were separate from Christ, excluded from citizenship in Israel and foreigners to the covenants of the promise, without hope and without God in the world." (Ephesians 2:11-12) > He then explains that through Jesus's sacrifice, this has all changed: > "But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near by the blood of Christ. For he himself is our peace, who has made the two groups one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility... His purpose was to create in himself one new humanity out of the two, thus making peace, and in one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross..." (Ephesians 2:13-16) > This passage shows that Gentiles, who were once "foreigners to the covenants," are now "fellow citizens with God's people and also members of his household" (Ephesians 2:19), all because of their unity with Christ. 2. Romans 11 In Romans, Paul uses the analogy of an olive tree to explain how Gentile believers are included in God's covenant promises. The olive tree represents God's people, with the root being the patriarchs (Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob) and the natural branches being the Israelites. > "If some of the natural branches have been broken off, and you, a wild olive shoot, have been grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing sap from the olive root, do not consider yourself to be superior to those other branches." (Romans 11:17-18) > He explains that because some of the natural Jewish branches were "hardened" and rejected Christ, Gentile believers have been grafted in. This doesn't mean the Gentiles have replaced Israel, but that they have been brought into the same covenant blessings through faith. 3. Galatians 3:26-29 Paul teaches that faith in Christ is the key to becoming a part of God's people. > "So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith, for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise." > This passage emphasizes that ethnic or social distinctions are no longer a barrier to being included in God's family. By belonging to Christ, both Jews and Gentiles become "Abraham's seed" and inherit the promises of the covenant.

Yehovah gave us a set of instructions He called the Torah. The Torah consists of the first five books of the bible. There are approximately 600 instructions in the Torah, some for men, some for women, some for Priests, some for children and others pertaining to the temple. The Complete Jewish Bible CJB Gods Commands 613 OT and 1050 NT Gods Instructions God’s Promises to Those Who Keep His Commands The Ten Commandments: God's Law of Love Video Marathon: The Ten Commandments 613 Laws of God Don't Just Hear Torah, Live Torah The purpose of life Video z Tóry There is now one single law that rules both Jew and Greek alike: One law for Jews and Greeks: faith in the crucified and risen Jesus. That is why Paul can say in the very next breath after “neither Jew nor Greek”: “You are all one in Christ Jesus. And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s offspring, heirs according to the promise” (Galatians 3:28–29). Same promise. Same inheritance. Same law. No exceptions. No special tracks. This is what the Bible define sin Breaking the Sabbath? Yes (Exodus 20:8) — By working, shopping, or doing regular business on the 7th day. Gossip or Talebearing? Yes (Leviticus 19:16) — By sharing rumors or venting about others behind their backs. Dishonest Business/Time? Yes (Deuteronomy 25:13-15) — By cutting corners on the job or cheating an employer on hours. Holding a Grudge? Yes (Leviticus 19:18) — By keeping a mental scorecard or harboring hidden bitterness. Showing Favoritism? Yes (James 2:9) — By treating someone better because of their wealth or social status. Tuning Out God's Commands? Yes (Proverbs 28:9) — By actively closing your ears to the Law, which makes even your prayers detestable. Willful Ignorance? Yes (Leviticus 5:17) — By breaking a command even if you claim you "didn't realize" it; the Bible still holds you accountable. Refusing to Listen to Warning? Yes (Zechariah 7:11-12) — By stopping up the ears and making the heart like flint so the words of the Law cannot get through. Forgetting the Law Over Time? Yes (Hosea 4:6) — By neglecting to study or pass down the commandments until they are forgotten entirely. Replacing the Messiah's True Hebrew Name? Yes (Jeremiah 23:27, Exodus 23:13) — By substituting the original Hebrew name Yeshua (which means "Yahweh is Salvation") with translated names, which many scriptural literalists argue obscures His true identity, lineage, and the Hebrew roots of the faith. General Disobedience to God's Commandments? (1 John 3:4, Matthew 19:17) — By walking in intentional lawlessness and choosing not to live according to the rules and instructions laid out by the Father. Ignoring God's Appointed Days (Feasts/Moedim)? (Leviticus 23, Numbers 29:40) — By bypassing or replacing the set-apart calendar dates God specifically called "My Feasts" and commanded His people to keep forever. Instead keeping Pagan Christmas and Easter Violating God's Dietary/Food Laws? Yes (Leviticus 11, Deuteronomy 14) — By eating animals that God explicitly designated as unclean and forbidden, which defiles the body He called to be set apart. Teaching against obedience to God’s commandments is a betrayal of His Word because it directly undermines His authority in four ways: It Erases the Definition of Sin: Scripture explicitly defines sin as "the transgression of the law" (1 John 3:4). If you throw out the Law, you destroy the only boundary that defines right from wrong. It Defies Yeshua’s Direct Warning: The Messiah specifically warned that anyone who breaks the commandments and teaches others to do so will be called the least in the Kingdom (Matthew 5:19).If "least" literally meant a low-ranking person inside the Kingdom, Yeshua would be saying that a carnal, commandment-breaking believer is somehow spiritually superior to John the Baptist. That makes no sense. But if "least" means the person who hasn't even entered yet (the mortal believer still waiting on the outside), the phrase makes perfect sense. Conclusion: Sin is the transgression of God's law (1 John 3:4) , then the key question is whether a particular action violates a command of God as revealed in Scripture. Therefore, determining what is or is not sin should come from God's Word rather than personal opinion, tradition, culture, or majority belief. If God commands it, obedience is righteousness; if God forbids it, disobedience is sin. The standard is not what people think, but what God has spoken. Spiritual separation from God: "Your iniquities have separated you from your God" (Isaiah 59:2). Ongoing sin creates distance in your relationship with God. Guilt, shame, and inner torment: Many people describe a heavy conscience, anxiety, or spiritual emptiness. Damaged character and bondage: Yeshua said, "Everyone who practices sin is a slave to sin" (John 8:34). Habits of lying, lust, anger, greed, etc., get stronger and harder to break. Earthly consequences: Broken relationships, health issues (e.g., from sexual sin, addiction, violence), financial ruin, loss of reputation, and legal problems. Eternal consequences: The New Testament warns that unrepentant, ongoing sin leads to spiritual death and hell (Romans 6:23 – "The wages of sin is death"). However, genuine repentance and faith Yeshua brings forgiveness. The Greatest Commandment And you shall teach them diligently to your children and speak of them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. 8 Tie them as reminders on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. 9 Write them on the doorposts of your houses and on your gates.… And you shall bind them for a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. 2 Timothy 3:16 After the Ten Commandments, God gave the Israelites a vast body of laws, traditionally summarized as the Law of Moses, or the Torah. These laws, found primarily in the books of Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy, provided a comprehensive framework for the Israelites' religious, social, and civil life. Jewish tradition holds that there are 613 commandments (known as the mitzvot) within this law. These commandments are often categorized into three main groups: Moral Laws: These are the ethical principles that reflect God's character and are universally applicable. The Ten Commandments are the core of this category, but it also includes principles like "love your neighbor as yourself" and prohibitions against gossip and injustice. Ceremonial Laws: These laws pertained to religious rituals and worship, designed to set the Israelites apart and teach them about holiness and atonement. They include instructions on: Sacrifices and Offerings: Detailed rules for different types of sacrifices for sin, peace, and thanksgiving. The Priesthood: Regulations for the priests (the tribe of Levi) and their duties in the Tabernacle. Festivals and Holy Days: Observances for events like Passover, the Day of Atonement, and the Feast of Tabernacles. Dietary Laws: The rules of kosher (clean and unclean) foods. Civil (or Judicial) Laws: These laws governed the daily life of the Israelite community and dealt with matters of justice, property, and social order. They were designed to create a just and compassionate society and included regulations on: Judicial Procedures: Rules for fair trials, the need for multiple witnesses, and punishments for various crimes. Property Rights: Laws concerning theft, damage, and inheritance. Social Justice: Specific protections for the poor, widows, orphans, and foreigners, reflecting God's concern for the vulnerable. The purpose of this extensive legal code was to establish Israel as a "kingdom of priests and a holy nation," distinct from the surrounding pagan cultures. The laws were not simply a list of rules, but a means to guide the Israelites in their covenant relationship with God and to prepare them for life in the Promised Land. Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets. I have not come to abolish them, but to fulfill them. 18 For I tell you truly, until heaven and earth pass away, not a single jot, not a stroke of a pen, will disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. 19 So then, whoever breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do likewise will be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever practices and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.… The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple; NIV The law of the Lord is perfect, refreshing the soul. The statutes of the Lord are trustworthy, making wise the simple. Psalms 19:7 Príslovia 28:9 Kto odvracia svoje ucho, aby nepočúval zákon, aj jeho modlitba je ohavná. Kazateľ 12:13 To je celý príbeh.

Is Easter pagan? The great Easter fraud Passover Passover (Pesach) is one of the most God mandated Jewish holidays, with several core observances explicitly required by God in the Torah (primarily in Exodus 12–13, Leviticus 23, Numbers 9, and Deuteronomy 16). These are considered divine commandments (mitzvot) rather than later rabbinic customs. Here are the main ones that are directly commanded in the Torah: Remove all leaven (chametz) from your home — On the first day (and for the full seven days), you must eliminate yeast/leavened products entirely. Eating leavened bread during the seven days is forbidden, with severe penalties mentioned (e.g., being "cut off" from the people). (Exodus 12:15–20; 13:7) Eat unleavened bread (matzah) — For seven days, eat only matzah. Specifically, there is a positive commandment to eat matzah on the first night of Passover. (Exodus 12:15, 18, 20; Deuteronomy 16:3, 8) Observe the festival for seven days — The first and seventh days (in the Diaspora, first, second, seventh, and eighth) are holy convocations with no work allowed (except food preparation). (Exodus 12:16; Leviticus 23:6–8) Tell the story of the Exodus — You must recount the events of the deliverance from Egypt to your children on that night. This is the basis for the Haggadah's storytelling. (Exodus 12:26–27; 13:8, 14; Deuteronomy 6:20–25) Eat bitter herbs (maror) — In the original biblical command, this was part of the Passover meal with the sacrificial lamb. (Exodus 12:8) The Passover sacrifice (Korban Pesach) — In Temple times, a lamb or goat was sacrificed on the 14th of Nisan at twilight, eaten roasted that night with matzah and bitter herbs, with strict rules (no bones broken, not taken outside the house, etc.). This is central in Exodus 12 but cannot be performed today without the Temple. (Exodus 12:3–11, 21–27; Numbers 9:1–14) Other elements like the four cups of wine, the Seder plate's full setup (karpas, charoset, etc.), reclining, or specific Haggadah readings are important Jewish customs (minhagim) developed over centuries in rabbinic tradition to fulfill or enhance the biblical commands—but they are not explicitly required in the Torah itself. The holiday commemorates the Exodus from Egypt, the "passing over" of Israelite homes during the tenth plague, and freedom from slavery. Observance is an eternal statute commanded by God (Exodus 12:14, 17, 24). In modern practice (without the Temple), the focus is on matzah, maror, removing chametz, the Seder retelling, and resting on the holy days. Many Jews today emphasize these biblical requirements while incorporating rich traditional customs.

Many Jews today emphasize these biblical requirements while incorporating rich traditional customs. סֵדֶר, meaning "order" in Hebrew) is the central ritual of Passover (Pesach). It's a festive, interactive family meal held on the first night (or first two nights outside Israel) of the holiday. The purpose is to fulfill the biblical commandment to tell the story of the Exodus from Egypt to your children and household (Exodus 13:8), reliving the journey from slavery to freedom as if we ourselves were liberated. The Seder follows a structured order laid out in the Haggadah ( the special book used for the evening), which includes prayers, blessings, songs, symbolic foods, discussions, and the retelling of the Exodus story. It typically lasts 2–4 hours (or longer in some homes), blending serious reflection, joy, food, wine, and family participation. Key Elements on the Table Before diving into the steps, here's what you usually see: Seder plate (with symbolic items): Maror (bitter herbs, like horseradish) → bitterness of slavery Chazeret (another bitter vegetable, often romaine lettuce) Zeroa (shank bone or roasted chicken neck) → Passover sacrifice Beitzah (roasted egg) → mourning for the Temple / new life Karpas (green vegetable, like parsley or celery) → spring/renewal Charoset (sweet mixture of apples, nuts, wine) → mortar used by slaves Matzah (three or more unleavened breads, often in a cover) Salt water (for dipping karpas, symbolizing tears of slavery) Four cups of wine (or grape juice) → represent four expressions of redemption Exodus 21 Then Moses called all the elders of Israel and said to them, “Go and select lambs for yourselves according to your clans, and kill the Passover lamb. 22 Take a bunch of hyssop and dip it in the blood that is in the basin , and touch the lintel and the two doorposts with the blood that is in the basin. None of you shall go out of the door of his house until the morning. 23 For the Lord will pass through to strike the Egyptians, and when he sees the blood on the lintel and on the two doorposts, the Lord will pass over the door and will not allow the destroyer to enter your houses to strike you. 24 You shall observe this rite as a statute for you and for your sons forever. 25 And when you come to the land that the Lord will give you, as he has promised, you shall keep this service. 26 And when your children say to you, ‘What do you mean by this service?’ 27 you shall say, ‘It is the sacrifice of the Lord’s Passover, for he passed over the houses of the people of Israel in Egypt, when he struck the Egyptians but spared our houses.’” And the people bowed their heads and worshiped. 28 Then the people of Israel went and did so; as the Lord had commanded Moses and Aaron, so they did. The Tenth Plague: Death of the Firstborn 29 At midnight the Lord struck down all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sat on his throne to the firstborn of the captive who was in the dungeon, and all the firstborn of the livestock. 30 And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he and all his servants and all the Egyptians. And there was a great cry in Egypt, for there was not a house where someone was not dead. 31 Then he summoned Moses and Aaron by night and said, “Up, go out from among my people, both you and the people of Israel; and go, serve the Lord, as you have said. 32 Take your flocks and your herds, as you have said, and be gone, and bless me also!” The Exodus 33 The Egyptians were urgent with the people to send them out of the land in haste. For they said, “We shall all be dead.” 34 So the people took their dough before it was leavened, their kneading bowls being bound up in their cloaks on their shoulders. 35 The people of Israel had also done as Moses told them, for they had asked the Egyptians for silver and gold jewelry and for clothing. 36 And the Lord had given the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they let them have what they asked. Thus they plundered the Egyptians. 37 And the people of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand men on foot, besides women and children. 38 A mixed multitude also went up with them, and very much livestock, both flocks and herds. 39 And they baked unleavened cakes of the dough that they had brought out of Egypt, for it was not leavened, because they were thrust out of Egypt and could not wait, nor had they prepared any provisions for themselves. 40 The time that the people of Israel lived in Egypt was 430 years. 41 At the end of 430 years, on that very day, all the hosts of the Lord went out from the land of Egypt. 42 It was a night of watching by the Lord, to bring them out of the land of Egypt; so this same night is a night of watching kept to the Lord by all the people of Israel throughout their generations. Institution of the Passover 43 And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, “This is the statute of the Passover: no foreigner shall eat of it, 44 but every slave b that is bought for money may eat of it after you have circumcised him. 45 No foreigner or hired worker may eat of it. 46 It shall be eaten in one house; you shall not take any of the flesh outside the house, and you shall not break any of its bones. 47 All the congregation of Israel shall keep it. 48 If a stranger shall sojourn with you and would keep the Passover to the Lord, let all his males be circumcised. Then he may come near and keep it; he shall be as a native of the land. But no uncircumcised person shall eat of it. 49 There shall be one law for the native and for the stranger who sojourns among you.” 50 All the people of Israel did just as the Lord commanded Moses and Aaron. 51 And on that very day the Lord brought the people of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their hosts.

Mojžišova 24:2 „Prikáž ľudu Izraela, aby ti priniesli čistý olej z vytlčených olív do lampy, aby sa svetlo pravidelne rozhorelo. -3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_ Pamätajte, že konečným výsledkom je rozhodnutie o tom, kto je vítaný v intímnostiach so ženíchom. Tí, ktorí majú svetlo, sú vítaní. Svetlo je podmienkou vhodného výsledku. Porozmýšľaj o tom. Koniec bol, že hlupáci nemali SVETLO, toto musíme mať na pamäti počas celého tohto učenia. Začnime Biblické definovanie pojmov: Zjavenie 19:6-96 Potom som počul niečo, čo sa zdalo byť hlasom veľkého zástupu, ako hukot mnohých vôd a ako zvuk mocných rachotov hromu, ktoré kričali: „Aleluja! For Yehovah our Elohim the Almighty reigns.7 Let us rejoice and exult and give him the sláva, lebo prišla Baránkova svadba a jeho nevesta sa pripravila; 8 jej bolo udelené obliecť sa jemnou bielizňou, žiarivou a čistou“ – lebo jemná bielizeň je anjel spravodlivých svätých [a] mi: "Napíš toto: Blahoslavení, ktorí sú pozvaní na Baránkovu svadobnú hostinu." A on mi povedal: Toto sú pravé Božie slová. 25 Manželia, milujte svoje ženy, tak ako Kristus miloval cirkev a vydal sa za ňu (strana 17) 14 Vráťte sa, neverní synovia, hovorí PÁN; Lebo ja som vám pánom a vezmem vás jedného z mesta a dvoch z rodiny a privediem vás na Sion. 15 „Potom vám dám pastierov podľa svojho srdca, ktorí vás budú živiť poznaním a rozumnosťou...“Lebo na teba žiarlim zbožnou žiarlivosťou, lebo som ťa zasnúbil jednému mužovi, aby som ťa predstavil čistá panna pre Krista“. (2. Korinťanom 11:2) (Ján 14:1-4) "Nech sa vaše srdce neznepokojuje: veríte v Boha, verte aj vo mňa. V dome môjho Otca je mnoho príbytkov. Keby to tak nebolo, bol by som povedal som vám. Idem, aby som vám pripravil miesto. A ak odídem a pripravím vám miesto, opäť prídem a prijmem vás k sebe, aby ste tam, kde som ja, boli aj vy. A kam pôjdem, vy vieš a tak, ako vieš." (Marek 13:32-37) "Ale o tom dni a tej hodine nevie nikto, ani anjeli v nebi, ani Syn, iba Otec. Dávajte si pozor, bdejte a modlite sa, lebo neviete, kedy príde čas." je. Syn človeka je totiž ako človek na ďalekej ceste, ktorý opustil svoj dom a svojim sluhom dal moc a každému jeho prácu a vrátnikovi prikázal bdieť. Preto bdejte, lebo neviete keď príde pán domu, večer, o polnoci, pri kohútiku, alebo ráno: Aby ťa nenašiel spať, aby ťa zrazu nenašiel spať. A čo vám hovorím, hovorím všetkým: Bdejte.“_cc781905-5cde -3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_ "Kým ženích stavia nový dom, nevesta čaká a nosí závoj a čelenku s mincami.

- Judgement | Answers 4 Saints
Then comes the judgement 📋 The Final Appointment with God Just as man is appointed to die once, and after that to face judgment,— Hebrews 9:27 Here is the expanded, 10-question version of the test. It drives home the absolute weight of that single, unavoidable appointment with death and judgment, stripping away every possible excuse a churchgoer might use to stall. Question 1: The Timeline of Repentance Traditional church culture often conditions people to think they have plenty of time to align their lives with the truth later on. According to the absolute law of mortality, when does your opportunity to stop practicing lawlessness (anomia) permanently end? A) It extends past the grave, offering a second chance to look at the commandments. B) The exact second your physical breath stops. There are no extensions, no revisions, and no delays. Question 2: The Representation at the Throne When you stand at the judgment seat described in Hebrews 9:27, who will be standing there with you to answer for the way you lived your life? A) Your pastor, your spouse, or your church community to help explain your traditions. B) Absolutely no one. You will stand entirely alone, answering directly for whether you physically walked as He walked. Question 3: The Currency of Judgment Many churchgoers rely on their regular attendance, church titles, or good intentions as their security. When the books are opened after death, what is the ultimate standard of measurement? A) How popular your church was and how sincere your human traditions felt. B) Literal alignment with the unchanging Word of God and the physical footsteps of the Messiah (1 John 2:6). Question 4: The Delusion of "Later" If a conditioned mind looks at a clear commandment today (like the Seventh-Day Sabbath or the dietary laws) and says, "I'll look into that some other time," what are they gambling with? A) A harmless delay that grace will automatically cover. B) A sudden, unannounced arrival at their fixed appointment with death—sealing them forever in a state of unacknowledged betrayal. Question 5: The Passing Grade Fallacy Many churchgoers believe they will pass judgment because they are "better than most people" or because they don't do "the really bad sins." What does the mirror of God’s Law say about this excuse at judgment? A) God grades on a curve and compares you to the rest of the world. B) God compares you strictly to His perfect standard. Breaking even one point of the Torah makes you guilty of lawlessness. Question 6: The Pastor’s Accountability Shield If your local pastor told you from the pulpit that the Seventh-Day Sabbath was changed or that the dietary laws were done away with, whose head will that error fall on when you stand before the throne? A) The pastor will take the blame, and you will be let off the hook for just following orders. B) You will answer for your own blindness. The blind leading the blind means both fall into the ditch. Question 7: The Finality of the Closed Door In Matthew 25, the foolish virgins arrived late, knocked on the door, and cried out to be let in. What does their sudden, permanent rejection teach us about the moment after death? A) That God will eventually relent if you beg long and hard enough after you die. B) That once the door of mortality is shut, the Master's decision is final and absolute. Question 8: The Myth of the Church Altar Many rely on a past prayer, a baptism certificate, or an emotional night at a church altar as a permanent insurance policy against judgment. If that past event didn't result in a lifestyle of physical obedience, what is it worth on Judgment Day? A) It is a valid, unbreakable contract of salvation regardless of how you lived. B) It is a worthless piece of paper that proves you talked the talk but refused to walk the walk. Question 9: The "Depart from Me" Reality In Matthew 7:22-23, the people rejected by Yeshua were completely shocked. They expected a reward. What was the exact reason they were cast away on their judgment day? A) They didn't do enough church activities or build a big enough ministry. B) They practiced anomia—living a lifestyle completely detached from and opposite to God’s Torah. Question 10: The Ultimate Fear of Man If you refuse to obey the Creator's physical commandments today because you are terrified that your friends, family, or church will turn on you, what are you failing to realize about the moment of death? A) That keeping the peace with people on earth is more important than keeping the covenant. B) That every single person you are trying to please today will be completely absent from your judgment. Their opinions will mean nothing when you face the Judge. ⚖️ The Verdict Blueprint If you chose "B" for every answer: Awake to Reality. You understand that time is a luxury you do not own. You recognize that the delusion of traditional comfort will instantly vaporize the moment you close your eyes in death, leaving you alone before the Judge. If you made excuses or chose "A": Stalling in Delusion. You are currently banking on a traditional safety net that does not exist in scripture. You are treating a terrifying, fixed appointment like an optional meeting. "Boast not thyself of tomorrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth." — Proverbs 27:1 The clock is ticking down to your appointment. Drop the church excuses, face the mirror, and align your walk with the Messiah before your time runs out. This diagnostic test uses the same direct, mirroring method. It contrasts the common theological defenses used to excuse a lawless lifestyle with the stark, uncompromised warnings found throughout the scriptures. 📋 The "Profession vs. Walk" Mirror Test Instructions: Answer these 4 direct questions honestly based on the everyday choices, priorities, and scriptural claims of the modern believer you are evaluating. Question 1: The Definition of Deception If this person reads the warning in James 1:22 ("Be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves"), how do they reconcile their own lifestyle? A) They recognize that "doing the Word" means physically mimicking the obedience, Sabbaths, and righteousness of the Messiah, viewing any other path as self-deception. B) They believe that mentally agreeing with theology or sitting in a pew satisfies the text, using "grace" to redefine a hearer as a doer. Question 2: The Fruit of Knowing Him According to 1 John 2:4, "The man who says, 'I know Him,' but does not do what He commands is a liar, and the truth is not in him." When confronted with the actual commandments Christ kept (the Torah), how does this person respond? A) They acknowledge that to know Him is to obey the same instructions He obeyed, striving for total alignment with His walk. B) They claim they "know Him" through an emotional connection or a past prayer, dismissing His actual commands as an outdated yoke meant only for a bygone era. Question 3: The True Measure of Love When Jesus says, "If you love me, keep my commandments," and John reinforces it in 1 John 5:3 ("For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments"), what does "love" look like in this person's life? A) Love is treated as a binding action of physical obedience to the Father's established instructions and statutes. B) Love is treated as a subjective feeling, a sentimental vibe, or an internal emotion that requires no adherence to a biblical calendar, diet, or Sabbath. Question 4: The Reality of Coming Judgment Scripture states in John 3:36 that "anyone who doesn't obey the Son will never experience eternal life but will remain under God's angry judgment." Knowing that the Son explicitly warned in Matthew 5:17–19 that not a single jot or tittle would pass from the Law, how does this person view the final accounting? A) They realize that the Son commands an active turn away from lawlessness (sin) and toward the Torah, making repentance a physical U-turn in behavior. B) They assume their confession shields them from any requirement to obey, believing the Son "fulfilled" the Law so that they are free to ignore it without facing consequences. The Scoring Key: Look back at the boxes checked. If the answers lean toward B, the mirror reveals a sobering truth: it is impossible to claim the destination of the Savior while walking in the exact opposite direction.
