Romans 14:1-12 As for the one who is weak in faith, welcome him, but not to quarrel over opinions. One person believes he may eat anything, while the weak person eats only vegetables. Let not the one who eats despise the one who abstains, and let not the one who abstains pass judgment on the one who eats, for God has welcomed him. Who are you to pass judgment on the servant of another? It is before his own master that he stands or falls. And he will be upheld, for the Lord is able to make him stand.
One person esteems one day as better than another, while another esteems all days alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind. The one who observes the day, observes it in honor of the Lord. The one who eats, eats in honor of the Lord, since he gives thanks to God, while the one who abstains, abstains in honor of the Lord and gives thanks to God. For none of us lives to himself, and none of us dies to himself. For if we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord. So then, whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord's. For to this end Christ died and lived again, that he might be Lord both of the dead and of the living.
Why do you pass judgment on your brother? Or you, why do you despise your brother? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of God; for it is written, “As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.”
So then each of us will give an account of himself to God.
Colossians 2:16-17 Therefore let no one pass judgment on you in questions of food and drink, or with regard to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath. These are a shadow of the things to come, but the substance belongs to Christ.
Acts 15:12-29 And all the assembly fell silent, and they listened to Barnabas and Paul as they related what signs and wonders God had done through them among the Gentiles. After they finished speaking, James replied, “Brothers, listen to me. Simeon has related how God first visited the Gentiles, to take from them a people for his name. And with this the words of the prophets agree, just as it is written,
“‘After this I will return, and I will rebuild the tent of David that has fallen; I will rebuild its ruins, and I will restore it, that the remnant of mankind may seek the Lord, and all the Gentiles who are called by my name, says the Lord, who makes these things known from of old.’
Therefore my judgment is that we should not trouble those of the Gentiles who turn to God, but should write to them to abstain from the things polluted by idols, and from sexual immorality, and from what has been strangled, and from blood. For from ancient generations Moses has had in every city those who proclaim him, for he is read every Sabbath in the synagogues.”
Then it seemed good to the apostles and the elders, with the whole church, to choose men from among them and send them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas. They sent Judas called Barsabbas, and Silas, leading men among the brothers, with the following letter:
“The brothers, both the apostles and the elders, to the brothers who are of the Gentiles in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia, greetings. Since we have heard that some persons have gone out from us and troubled you with words, unsettling your minds, although we gave them no instructions, it has seemed good to us, having come to one accord, to choose men and send them to you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul, men who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. We have therefore sent Judas and Silas, who themselves will tell you the same things by word of mouth. For it has seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us to lay on you no greater burden than these requirements: that you abstain from what has been sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and from what has been strangled, and from sexual immorality. If you keep yourselves from these, you will do well. Farewell.”
We are under grace, not under the Law. The Holy Spirit did not lay any such burdens about keeping the law and sabbaths and feast days as you keep promoting here on FR.
The Holy Spirit is giving us freedom, not putting us back under the bondage of the law as the Judaizers would have us be.
In short, it doesn't matter what you call the days or months and there is NO Scriptural evidence (which is seriously lacking in your advocating here) that it somehow pleases God for us to do that.
The substance is in Christ. The sabbaths and feasts have always been a shadow. Christians fallow the real deal, not chasing after shadows any more.
Not hijacking threads.
pointing out that when one starts ‘doubting’ and questioning Rome and their story, they will see them as the 4th beast/Kingdom that will change and times in these last days..
And if one links Daniel 7 to Revelation 13,(which you do not but my testing and study has done) then one can see how the changing of times and laws by Rome causes people to do exactly what says happens in Revelation 13- in essence, the mark of disobedience. And that is why Revelation 14 says the patience of the saints is those who keep the Commandments of God AND faith in Yahshua..
I can’t make you see that. I thank Him for showing me.
He can show us all.
If Rome is not a vessel for satan, I will have to apologize.
But the first reformers called them ‘antichrist’ before there ever was a Pope Gregory calendar..were they wrong?
What does ‘antichrist’ mean?
I don’t have a problem seeing islam, who rejects the Son,as ‘antichrist’. Scripture says that is also ‘antichrist’.
Nor do I have a problem seeing Judaism,who also rejects the Son, as ‘antichrist’..
And when one understands ‘anti’ in the Greek can not only mean against or opposed but anti can also mean ‘instead of ‘ ‘in place of’ -substitute,how does that also not fit Rome, the mother? Don’t they sell the idea of their Mary being without sin so their Jesus in a plain way,didn’t come in the flsh, like the rest of us.. That too,according to scripture is ‘antichrist’..
If Rome has created another Jesus, which is warned about in scripture, with another gospel, which is also warned about in scripture,why isn’t it possible to see Roman Christianity as devious as islam or Judaism as vessels to deceive the world?
Is it at least possible?
The only way to tell a genuine Jesus from a counterfeit is the Scriptures..
I have done that testing. And that is why I know now why I met Him as the Roman Jesus,but He didn’t let me stay there..
We are close to 2000 years down the road of prophecy.. And Satan as an angel of light, who can deceive Muslims, Jews, and Christians is not far fetched to me..
But again, I admit to be peculiar. tomorrow is the Son’s birthday , an appointed time, a New Moon Day, according to His scripture and the book of Revelation 12 sign (which is a book of revealing, not hiding) and the elementary study of His Creation (which is what all science is)
And Rome’s lies and teachings fall like a house of cards.. And that wouldn’t be comfortable for anyone who trusts them with anything..I was one of them.
Satan is that deceitful..
Pray more awake to his plans..
