The Sabbath is given as a sign :
The Sabbath was a sign as the Lord said in
( Exo.31:13 )
So , you as a Sabbatarian say : as long as the Sabbath is a sign , it should not be changed or replaced !!
But I reply her ,
' Circumcision was also a sign , and it replace by Baptism '
Circumcision was certainly a sign as it is written in
( Gen.17:10,11 )
These two signs then ; the circumcision and the Sabbath were distinguished but were also symbols in Christianity by the things symbolized.
Circumcision was the removal of a part of the body to make it die , which symbolized mortifying the body and its lusts. This was a symbol of Baptism which is death with Christ
( Rom.6:3;4 ) and so was replaced by it.
The Sabbath was a sign for rest , bodily rest , and it was replaced by the rest of the spirit when we rested from sin and death.
Thus it was replaced by Sunday which the Lord took real rest as I explained before .
What is Sabbath but the Lord's Day which we should keep holy ?
In its essence is not abolished , for we still honor the Lord's day , but in a more powerful way .
The Sabbath was a sign. But of what ?
The Lord says , " a sign between Me and you...... that you may know that I , the Lord , sanctify you "
On Sunday we feel this actually , for we remember how the Lord sanctified us with His holy Blood putting an end to sin and death.
But on the old Sabbath , I wonder how the felt the Lord had sanctified them !!
When we keep the Lord's day holy , we remember that He sanctified us with His death and resurrection.
You may ask : I know that the Lord sanctifed us when He exterminated sin by His death . But how did he sanctified us when He overcome death by His Resurrection ?
Death in the O.T. was a punishment , the wages of sin , and whoever touched a dead body was defiled because the dead die with his sin.
But now as the Lord Christ died for us and paid off the wages of our sins , He sanctified our dead.
Thus death became just departure and who touch a dead is not defiled anymore since the Lord exterminated the power and sting of death by His death
They and you say also that Sabbath was a sign of delivery from servitude as the Scripture say ,
" Remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt , and the Lord Your God brought you out from there....... therefore the Lord you God commanded you to keep the Sabbath day "
( Deut.5:15 )
This servitude was a symbol of the sevitude of sin , while coming out of the servitude of Pharoah was a symbol of coming out of the sevitude of Satan which has been realized when the Lord Jesus Christ overcame death on Sunday.

She is insistent.!!
She is very insistent , never gets weary .
She may offer a certain thought or a heresy many , many times and continues to offer it over and over , over and again though it is refused by the members!
Even when she was fighting the Holy Trinity ,
she did not cease after her failure , she after a long weekend returned to tempt us with a new SDA heresy.
For she ( the devil ) never gets disperate due to any faliure, and never gets ashamed but always returns with a new Buster !!
She casts her poisons every now and then on everyone perhaps who does not perish by it today , perishes next day , next weekend ! and so on.......
She is distinguished among the psycologists and even at the head of them due to her long practical experience in .............!!!!!!!!
She does not introduce her sin and heresy revealed , othewise a person would refuse it ......
She gives it another name Oops I mean a sermon , while it remains the same !!
She always offer lies under the name of wisdom !
Hiding heresies under the guise of virtue is a cunning wile of the devil.
We do not get confused before the wars and heresies of the ....Clau...but we ask God's help.
O Lord , God our Savior , deliver us from the intrigues of the adversary..........
and annul all the snares and heresies She sets against us.
Sicowin.

The ideal destroyed !
Question :
What should a person do to restore his trust in people after the fall of his ideal in front of his eyes ?
Any comment ? Reply ?
Really I was surprised to the fall of our beloved member who was the ideal in front of my eyes.
But the first thing I would like to say to all the members is :
Let your ideal be the Lord Christ Himself and the saints biographies.
If it happens that your ideal has done something wrong before us , do not lose trust in all people.
There may be other ideal characters like Sue and Math, in Believers Bible study group whether you know them or not.....
So do not hold the problem you faced as a general one , and extend it to everybody.
There is another point I would like to speak about:
Many righteous people fell and repenyed afterwards , and their repentance lifted them up to higher levels .
It is possible that an ideal person falls , but God's grace may not abandon him /her , so long as he/she humbles himself/herself before God.
Grace may even lead him / her to repentance accompanied with heart contrition and humbleness , which would lift him/her up to much higher levels.
Anyhow , take the fall of the ideal as a lesson for us ......
Therefore , let our hearts be compassionate on the others .....
Do not say my ideal is destroyed before my eyes .
Peter did not fall as an ideal in the sight of the Lord Jesus Christ
Or the disciples when he denied Him before a bondmaid and cursed and swore saying , " I do not know the man !"
( Mt.694)
Nor did David the prophet fall as an ideal when he committed adultry , killed and sought for tortuous ways of deception
( 2 kgs 11)
The same applies to all the prophets' sins.......Therefore , how difficult is it to say that your ideal fallen before your eyes !!
David , speaking about the Lord and His forgiveness , says ,
" For He knows our frame ; He remembers that we are dust "
( Ps.1:103 )
Remember that the righteous are subject to harsh wars , and the Scripture says about sin that ,
" she has cast down many wounded and all who were slain by her were strong men "
( Prov.7:26)

O, Who tasted death in the flesh in the ninth hour for our sake, we the sinners, put to death our carnal lusts, O Christ, our God, and deliver us. Let my supplication draw close before You, O Lord; according to Your word give me understanding. Let my petition come before Your presence; according to Your word revive me.
Amen

A combination of heresies and heterodoxies !
Our friend Cla.... the pastor and JW's are not the authors of one heresy only but rather a combination of heresies and heterodoxies and distortion of the Scripture.
1. Her affliation is not to Christ Jesus , but to Jehovah , God's name in the O.T.
2. She does not hold the Christian faith , nor main Christian Doctrines.
3. She believes that Christ is God's First creation. !
and that Christ Jesus is a mighty god , not the Almighty God !
and that Jesus is Angel Michael the commandor of the Lord's army !
and Christ is God's First Creation, superior than all the heavenly creatures!!
His presence on earth as a perfect Man equal to Adam !
4. She believes that churches are the work of the devil used to deceive people , and the only church is founded by Jehovah ( True God's church ) or the S.A
5. She holds many heresies , among which are ; Arianism , Nestorianism , Judaization , and the heresy of the Sadducees who say there is no resurrection !
6. She rejects all religion , believing that they all are the work of the devil , and they were founded by Nimrod
( Gen.10 )
7. She and JW's have their own distorted translation of the holy Scripture , which support her heresies ( The New World Translation of the Scripture )
9. She believes in Man's deification.
and so many heresies , I shall- God willing discuss them in detail and refute each of them later.

Absolute perfection belongs to God alone .

Being perfect ! what it means and what its limits ?
Question ?
The Bible says , " Be perfect , therefore , as your heavenly Father is perfect." ( Mt.5:4
What does it mean to be 'Perfect'? And how can a human being attain it ?
When can we say of a person that he is 'perfect'?
Absolute perfection belongs to God alone , no human being can ever attain it , because we will be found wanting , when weighed in the balance.
So the perfection , which a human being can attain , is relative perfection.
The state of perfection we can reach will be in relation to our abilities and the extent of heavenly grace bestowed upon us.
The lord God , speaking about the righteous Job said ,
" This man was blamelessand upright , he feared God and shunned evil "
and " There is no one on earth like him "
( Job 1:1)
Job's perfection was only relative and not absolute perfection.
Jacob too was perfect , even though he had various weakness
( Gen.25:27 )
But God judges each human being in relation to one's capabilities , according to the era in which he lives , and the work of the Holy Spirit within him.
The quality of being perfect might be relation to a particular commandment.
Such as when the Lord Jesus Christ said to the rich young man,
" If you want to be perfect , go , sell your possessions and give to the poor "
( Mt.19:21)
What does it mean to be 'Perfect'? And how can a human being attain it ?
When can we say of a person that he is 'perfect'?
It is our duty to strive for perfection ,
but we can never say that we have reached it .
In any case , the road to perfection consists of stages , so that as soon as a person reaches one of them he finds another higher , further stage awaiting him , and he become like someone pursuing the hoeizon.!
Are you greater than St. Paul the apostle ?!!!
" forgetting what is behind and straining towards what is ahead "
who ascended to the third heaven , the man of Grace , who laboured more than all the apostles , who said ,
" Not that I have already obtained all this , or have already been made perfect , but I press on ....But one thing I do , forgetting what is behind and straining towards what is ahead "
If the great Apostle ST. Paul did not consider that he had become perfect, but he needed to strive and strain to reah it , what can we say about ourselves ?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Even so , Paul said directly after this ,
" All of us who are mature should take such a view of things "
( Phil.3:15)
He was referring to all those who might have thought that they were " Perfect" ,
or whom other people might have considered to have attained that stage.
True humility and modesty are basic virtue.
God bless you

Man's deification !!
My blessed friend...Oops I means Pastor inspired us in her prolonged postings about deification.!She supports his view with the words , " I said You are gods "
and the words , " The glory You have given Me , I have given them "
I would not have given it such concern , but this view is extending and spreading in any posts of this author , and her followers defend it disperately !
It is necessary to explain the whole matter :
a) Deification is the first sin of an angel :
The lust of deification is the first slip of the rational free beings.
Satan was an angel of the rank of Cherubim
( Ezek.28:14,16 )
The Lord God said about him ,
" You were the seal of perfection , full of wisdom and perfect in beauty "
"You were the anointed Cherub who covers "
You were perfect in your ways from the day you were created , till iniquity was found in you "
( Exek.28:12,14,15 )
How then the covering Cerub fall ? How was iniquity found in him ?
This is explained in the Book of Isaiah ;
" For you have said in your heart ; I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God ......' I will ascend above the heights of the clouds , I will be like the Most High' yet you shall be brought down to sheol to the lowest depths of the pit "
( Isa.13:14-15 )
With the same lust of deification Satan tempted the first man
( Gen.3:5 ).
" You shall have no gods before Me " ( Ex.20:3 )
This Command is the first of the Ten Commandments which God gave man as a warning against such a fall.
If It is is hard to have other gods before God , it will nodoubt be even harder that man himself be a god !!
The seriousness of deification is evident in the calamity of king Herod :
King Herod did not say that he is god , nor did he desire it .
But when he gave an oration to the people , while arrayed in the royal apparel, and the people kept shouting : The voice of a god not of a man . Herod did not rebuke them.
It seemed that he consented to their words .
So , " Immediately an angel of the Lord struck him, because he did not give glory to god.
( Acts 12:22,23 )
To such an extent is the sin of man's deification dangerous !!
Man's deification means that man acquires the divine attributes.
The man becomes a god means that he becomes unlimited , filling heaven and earth , testing the hearts and thoughts knowing the sins and working miracles by his won power !!!
Who then dare ascribe these attributes to man ?!
The word "Deification " and its derivatives are not the only are not the only words used by the blessed Pastor Cl. but there are many ..........
" My brethern , let not many of you become teachers , knowing that we shall receive a stricter judgment, for we all stumble in many things "
( Jas.3:1,2 )
Blot out guilt through teaching.
Sicowin the partaker of the divine nature!!!

[U]She lives outside herself :
Why do you live outside yourself friend ?
Are you concerned with other churches dogmas and with your judgments of them , your reactions to them and the effect of this on your spirituality ?
As for your soul , that is lost in the midst of your judgments of others through your prolonged blogs , you find no time for your soul !!
And if you were to find time for it , you would make yourself a rosolution to keep away from people and the members of the group just because you resent their beliefs with your false teachings and are annoyed by their ways ,
But it is not long before you return after the weekend to live in the same prison !!
On the Day of Judgment , God will call you on the subject of your own soul first of all reagrdless the church you belong to , before asking you about the souls of others .
And even those whom you have been so preoccupied , what have you done for them with your judgments and your false teaching ?!!
Lord have mercy
Christ have mercy

Tops without Support!!
Once they had been high peaks rising for a long period of time above broad popular supports. However , they did not concern themselves with this popular support but in fact raised themselves up above it in pride at what they considered their superior position , past and fame.
Then along came someone who was able to win this popular support because he loved the people and served them in humility , and so the supports withdrawn from under them.
Yet they stayed where they were , as tops without support :
tops rising up in the air - but without supports !!

Every Goliath has a David.
Dear members , do not be afraid at the spread or apparant victory of something that is false or untrue......like the false teaching of the new heretics !
Such things will inevitably be defeated if it made to stand before the Truth , however long it takes.........
Every Goliath has a David waiting to conquer him in the name of the Lord of Hosts........
Judas
Judas betrayed His Lord and Master.
But there is a Judas alive in every generation.
He was a particular person whom we read about in the Gospel.
But he is a symbol......a new Heretic.......
Is silence a virtue ?
Silence is not always a virtue........
Sometimes we are judged guilty for keeping quiet........
This issue requires wisdom , so that we know to speak and when to
keep silent , and when we speak , then what words to use.
The wise person is the one who does not remain silent when he should speak and does not speak when he should remain silent.
Wrong estimations !
Do you , dear members , imagine that Herod was stronger than John the Baptist because he was able to present the head of John on a plate ?
There is no doubt that he was not !
His victime was the stronger and more righteous ....
Herod continued to fear John the Baptist even after he had had him killed , and when Christ appeared , Herod imagined that that John had risen from the dead. ( Mt.14:2 )
How amazing people's estimation are !!
They imagine there to be strength where there is only weakness !
and imagine there to be victory on a debate or a discussion , when there is defeat !
Lord have mercy.
In the name of the people !
I often used to receive e-mails about some church matter or other in which the author would try to give weight and importance to a matter by saying that it was in the name of people of such and such God's Church or congregation !
or making it signed by the other people of such and such a Satan's church !
Sometimes its content expressed only his his personal view and his false doctrines and the people really had had nothing to do with what it said , or what he preaches .........
He might believe that as long as he is convinced on something, every one elsebe convinced on it too !!!His teaching and his view is the truth and every one must be behind the 'truth'
Heaven only knows the intent of his heart
