reetings,
holy children of God, in the wonderful name of our lord and saviour Jesus, the Christ.
The sermon subject for today is: SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST BELIEVE THAT CHRISTIANS SHOULD ASSEMBLE ON THE SABBATH, THE SEVENTH DAY OF THE WEEK, SATURDAY. LISTEN CAREFULLY SAINTS OF GOD, DID THE CHRISTIAN APOSTLES AND PROPHETS, AND OTHER SAINTS, ASSEMBLE ON THE SEVENTH DAY OF THE WEEK, SATURDAY. ? NO, THEY DID NOT. THEY ASSEMBLED ON THE FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK, SUNDAY. Jn:20:19: Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you. Jn:20:20: And when he had so said, he shewed unto them his hands and his side. Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the Lord. Jn:20:21: Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you. Jn:20:22: And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost: Jn:20:23: Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained. THE SECOND RECORDING OF THE DISCIPLES ASSEMBLING ON THE FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK IS RECORDED IN THE BOOK OF Acts:20:7: And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight. THE THIRD RECORDING OF THE DISCIPLES ASSEMBLING ON THE FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK IS RECORDED IN 1Cor:16:2: Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come. (KJV) COME INTO THIS KNOWLEDGE SAINTS OF GOD, THE LAW THAT GOD GAVE TO MOSE'S WAS IN EFFECT FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS UNTIL, JOHN THE BAPTIST CAME PREACHING IN THE WILDERNESS. SINCE THAT TIME THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS PREACHED, AND MEN PRESSED INTO IT. Lk:16:16: The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it. (KJV) LISTEN, HOLY CHILDREN, AS THE APOSTLE PAUL SPEAKS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS BY FAITH. WHAT DOES THE WORD RIGHTEOUSNESS MEAN? IT MEANS TO BE IN RIGHT STANDING WITH GOD IN WORD, THOUGHT, AND DEED. IF WE COULD HAVE BEEN MADE RIGHTEOUS BY THE LAW THAT GOD GAVE TO MOSE'S; THEN CHRIST JESUS DIED IN VAIN. Rom:10:1: Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. Rom:10:2: For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. Rom:10:3: For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. Rom:10:4: For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth. Rom:10:5: For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them. Rom:10:6: But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:) Rom:10:7: Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.) Rom:10:8: But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; Rom:10:9: That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. Rom:10:10: For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. CHILDREN OF LIGHT IT IS MY BELIEF THAT THE SAINTS OF GOD, THE CHRISTIAN BRETHREN, DID NOT WANT TO BUILD AGAIN THE LAW THAT GOD GAVE TO MOSE'S, FOR THE LAW THAT GOD GAVE TO MOSE'S HAD TO BE KEPT, NOT ONLY EVERY WORD, BUT EVERY LETTER. Rom:7:6: But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter. BELOVED OF GOD, NOT ONLY DID A PERSON HAVE TO KEEP THE LAW OF MOSES TO THE LETTER, BUT A PERSON COULD KEEP THE WHOLE LAW OF MOSE'S TO THE LETTER, AND OFFEND IN ONE POINT, AND HE WOULD BE GUILTY OF ALL. Jms:2:10: For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. (KJV) BROTHERS, AND SISTERS IN CHRIST, UNDER THE LAW OF MOSE'S IT IS THE DEATH PENALTY TO CARRY ANY BURDEN ON THE SABBATH. UNDER THE LAW OF MOSES THERE IS TO BE ABSOLUTELY NO WORK DONE ON THE SABBATH. UNDER THE LAW OF MOSE'S THERE WAS A MAN FOUND GATHERING STICKS ON THE SABBATH DAY, AN ACCOUNT OF WHAT HAPPENED IS RECORDED IN THE BOOK OF NUMBERS. Nm:15:32: And while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man that gathered sticks upon the sabbath day. Nm:15:33: And they that found him gathering sticks brought him unto Moses and Aaron, and unto all the congregation. Nm:15:34: And they put him in ward, because it was not declared what should be done to him. Nm:15:35: And the Lord said unto Moses, The man shall be surely put to death: all the congregation shall stone him with stones without the camp. Nm:15:36: And all the congregation brought him without the camp, and stoned him with stones, and he died; as the Lord commanded Moses. LISTEN CAREFULLY CHILDREN OF GOD, UNDER THE LAW THAT GOD GAVE TO MOSES, FIRST CAME TEMPTATION, THEN SIN, THEN THE CURSE, AND THEN DESTRUCTION. THERE WERE ONLY A FEW PEOPLE THAT WERE SAVED UNDER THE LAW OF MOSE'S. THE REST DIED OR WERE KILLED, AND THERE SOULS FED TO THE FLAMES OF HELL. ALL GENTILES WERE WITHOUT HOPE OF ETERNAL LIFE. Is:24:5: The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant. Is:24:6: Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left. HOLY CHILDREN WHEN WE WERE BAPTIZED INTO CHRIST, WE WERE BAPTIZED INTO HIS DEATH. THEREFORE WE ARE DEAD TO SIN BUT ALIVE UNTO GOD, THROUGH JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD. THEREFORE WE ARE NOT UNDER THE LAW, BUT UNDER GRACE. Rom:6:14: For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace. BUT, HOLY CHILDREN, IF A PERSON PREACHES, AND TEACHES THE LAW OF MOSE'S AS IF THE CHILDREN OF GOD ARE TO KEEP SUCH LAWS AS THE SABBATH DAY LAWS, THE DIETARY LAWS, AND THE TITHING LAWS, HE SHALL BUILD AGAIN THOSE LAWS, AND MAKE HIMSELF A TRANSGRESSOR. Gal:2:18: For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor. Gal:2:19: For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God. Gal:2:20: I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. Gal:2:21: I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.(KJV) HOLY CHILDREN, A MAN CANNOT PREACH ONE WAY, AND LIVE ANOTHER. IF YOU PREACH THAT MEN SHOULD NOT COMMIT ADULTERY, THEN GOD WILL EXPECT YOU NOT TO COMMIT ADULTERY. IF YOU PREACH THAT MEN SHOULD NOT EAT SHOULD THINGS AS HOG, RABBIT, SQUIRRELS, CATFISH, AND SUCH LIKE, THEN I BELIEVE THAT GOD WILL EXPECT YOU NOT TO EAT THINGS THAT WERE PREVIOUSLY UNCLEAN. IF A MAN PREACHES THAT THE SAINTS ARE TO PAY TITHES, THEN HE MUST GIVE TEN PER CENT OF ALL THAT HE RECEIVES, WHETHER IT BE LIVESTOCK, PRODUCE, OR MONEY, TO THE LEVITICAL TRIBE. THERE IS NO SCRIPTURE THAT SAYS WE ARE TO GIVE A TITHE TO THE CHURCH. Rom:2:21: Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal? Rom:2:22: Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege? Rom:2:23: Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law dishonourest thou God? IF A MAN PREACHES THAT MEN SHOULD NOT WORK ON THE SABBATH DAY, AND BUILDS AGAIN THE SABBATH DAY LAWS. HE WILL MAKE HIMSELF A TRANSGRESSOR OF SABBATH LAW, IF HE LIGHTS A FIRE TO COOK A MEAL, CARRIES ANY TYPE OF BURDEN, BUYS OR SELLS ANYTHING, OR DOES ANY TYPE OF WORK. IF A MAN PREACHES THAT MEN ARE NOT TO EAT CERTAIN ANIMALS, BIRDS OR FISH AND BUILDS AGAIN THE DIETARY LAWS. THEN IF HE HAS EVER HAD ONE BITE OF PORK, OR CAT FISH OR SUCH LIKE THEN HE WILL MOST LIKELY FIND HIMSELF IN SERIOUS TROUBLE WHEN HE STANDS BEFORE THE LORD. REMEMBER THIS THAT ALL OF ISRAEL AT ONE TIME WENT UNDER THE CURSE, A SENTENCE OF CONDEMNATION, BECAUSE OF THE TITHING LAWS. Mal:3:8: Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings. Mal:3:9: Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation. CHRISTIAN BRETHREN, DID CHRIST JESUS KEEP THE LAW OF MOSE'S? YES HE KEPT IT TO THE LETTER. WE THE SAINTS OF GOD, THAT HAVE BEEN BAPTIZED INTO THE BODY OF CHRIST, ARE NOT SAVED BY THE LIFE THAT WE HAVE LIVED. BUT WE ARE SAVED BY THE LIFE THAT CHRIST JESUS LIVED. Rom:5:10: For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. (KJV) DID JESUS CHRIST CONTINUE TO LIVE ACCORDING TO THE LAW OF MOSE'S AFTER JOHN THE BAPTIST CAME PREACHING IN THE WILDERNESS? THIS MUCH I KNOW. JESUS CHRIST HEALED A MAN THAT HAD A WITHERED HAND ON THE SABBATH DAY, JESUS CHRIST GAVE SIGHT TO A MAN THAT HAD BEEN BLIND FROM BIRTH ON THE SABBATH DAY. JESUS CHRIST HEALED A MAN THAT HAD AN INFIRMITY FOR THIRTY EIGHT YEARS, AND COMMANDED HIM TO TAKE UP HIS BED, AND WALK ON THE SABBATH DAY. Jn:5:7: The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me. Jn:5:8: Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk. Jn:5:9: And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath. Jn:5:10: The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath day: it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed. DID THE DISCIPLES OF CHRIST OBSERVE THE SABBATH DAY AFTER JOHN THE BAPTIST CAME PREACHING IN THE WILDERNESS? NO, THEY DID NOT. THEY BECAME HUNGARY AS THEY WALKED THROUGH A FIELD OF CORN, AND THEY PLUCKED THE EARS OF CORN, AND EAT THEM. WHICH WAS AGAINST THE LAW THAT GOD GAVE TO MOSES. Lk:6:1: And it came to pass on the second sabbath after the first, that he went through the corn fields; and his disciples plucked the ears of corn, and did eat, rubbing them in their hands. Lk:6:2: And certain of the Pharisees said unto them, Why do ye that which is not lawful to do on the sabbath days? SAINTS OF GOD, WE ARE A BLESSED GENERATION TO BE ALIVE ON THIS SIDE OF THE CROSS OF CHRIST. FOR IF WE AS GENTILES HAD LIVED ON THE OTHERSIDE OF THE CROSS, WE WOULD OF HAD NO HOPE OF ETERNAL LIFE. BUT. WHEN CHRIST HANG ON CALVARY'S CROSS HE TORN DOWN THE PARTITION BETWEEN THE JEW, AND THE GENTILE, AND MADE OF THE TWO ONE NEW MAN IN CHRIST. CHRIST JESUS HAS REMOVED THE CURSE FROM US, THE CHILDREN OF GOD, WHEN HE HANG ON THE CROSS. Gal:3:13: Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: Gal:3:14: That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. THE WORD "GOSPEL" MEANS GOOD NEWS. WHAT GOOD NEWS? THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT THE DESTRUCTION OF THE CHILDREN OF GOD, THAT ARE IN CHRIST, IS STOPPED. WE, THE CHILDREN OF GOD, THAT ARE IN CHRIST JESUS, IN THE BODY OF CHRIST, HAVE PEACE WITH GOD. WHEN CHRIST HANG ON CALVARIES CROSS THERE WAS A FOUNTAIN OPEN THAT CLEANSED OUR FOOD. LISTEN AS CHRIST EXPLAINS THAT THE ANIMALS THAT WERE PREVIOUS UNCLEAN HAVE BEEN CLEANSED. Acts:10:9: On the morrow, as they went on their journey, and drew nigh unto the city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray about the sixth hour: Acts:10:10: And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance, Acts:10:11: And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending unto him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth: Acts:10:12: Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air. Acts:10:13: And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat. Acts:10:14: But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean. Acts:10:15: And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common. Acts:10:16: This was done thrice: and the vessel was received up again into heaven. BELOVED, IF A MAN PREACHES THAT GOD'S CHILDREN ARE NOT TO EAT CERTAIN ANIMALS, BIRDS OR FISH BECAUSE THEY ARE SPIRITUALLY UNCLEAN BECAUSE OF SIN. HE IS PREACHING THE DOCTRINE OF THE DEVIL. 1Tm:4:1: Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 1Tm:4:2: Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; 1Tm:4:3: Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. 1Tm:4:4: For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: 1Tm:4:5: For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer. JESUS CHRIST WAS BORN UNDER THE LAW OF MOSES THAT HE MIGHT REDEEM US FROM THE CURSE THAT COMES UPON THOSE UNDER THAT LAW.
