In the Godless world, those who are paid with satans mammon {$} are called the professionals, and it is the professionals that have the (purchased) authority, and, who are also the experts of a subject, no matter what that subject is. But YHVH does not recognize human made authority, or professions, or governments, or quantities of money held, or human-issued and validated credentials, nor any other human-made form of earthly empowerment or entitlement: There's only One Lord in the universe!
My Master, Messiah Yeshua, said that humans are analogous to stray sheep (Matt 9:35-38; 10:5-7,16; 18:12-14; 25:31-33; 26:31; Isa 53:6; John 10 all): Sheeple! Blind followers! Culture copiers! Monkey-see-monkey-do–copy-mimic-parrot drones! Worldly satanic slaves! The masses who think the afterlife is not worth their time or study or investment: And the scriptures? TLDR! (Ἐκκλησιαστής) But a half-trillion years in the vacuum of empty space (outer Darkness) should give most people enough spacetime to put all the pieces together.
The Spiritually (eternally) doomed will show their hand by scrolling down these very long pages, and pass. Satan calls them daily; hourly; soon, every waking minute, a host of demons quietly calls them to come back to the world; it becomes an addiction! Thus, all these (human-made, human-centrist) corrupt systems continue, generation after generation, even though the wise few, can see their inherent flaws. But that's the way of the worldly, who only see the world through the eyes of everyone who came before; those former generations who tell them how to look at the world. But all the worlds systems are evil, nevertheless.
When Messiah Yeshua, or any of His disciples (past or present) refer to the things, or to the people of this world, such references have nothing to do with planet Earth. The context is always the human masses on Earth; these masses collectively alter the planet, the animal kingdom, and the other people on it, for reasons that are always satanic at their root-core. Therefore, of this world refers only to the god of this world, satan (2Co 4:1-5 kjv), and all of satan (the devils) earthly followers (John 8:44-47), as well as the influential demonic realm (Eph 6:10-13).
Then Pilate entered into the judgment hall again and called Yeshua, and said unto Him: Are you the King of the Jews? Yeshua answered him: Do you say this thing of yourself, or did others tell it to you of Me? Pilate answered: Am I a Jew? Your own nation and the chief priests have delivered You unto me. What have You done? Yeshua answered: My Kingdom is not of this world; if My Kingdom were of this world, then My servants would fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: But now, My Kingdom is not from hence. Pilate therefore said unto Him: Are You a king then? Yeshua answered: You say that I am a King. To this end I was born, and for this cause I came into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth hears My voice. (John 18:33-37)
Then said they unto Him: Where is Your Father? Yeshua answered: You neither know Me nor My Father: If you had known Me, you should have known My Father also. These words Yeshua spoke in the treasury, as He taught in the temple; and no man laid hands on Him, for His hour was not yet come. Then said Yeshua again unto them: I go my way, and you shall seek Me, and shall die in your sins. Where I go you cannot come. Then said the Jews: Will He kill Himself? Because He said, "Where I go, you cannot come". And He said unto them: You are from beneath; I am from above; you are of this world; I am not of this world. I said therefore unto you that you should die in your sins, for if you believe not that I am He, you shall die in your sins. Then they said unto Him: Who are you? And Yeshua said unto them: Even the same that I said unto you from the beginning. I have many things to say and to judge of you, but He that sent Me is true; and I speak to the world those things that I have heard of Him. They understood not, that He spoke to them of the Father. (John 8:19-27)
And Yeshua answered them, saying: The hour is come that the Son of Man should be glorified. Verily, verily I say unto you; except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abides alone: But if it dies, it brings forth much fruit. He that loves his life shall lose it; and he that hates his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal. If any man serves Me, let him follow Me, and where I am, there also shall My servant be. If any man serve me, him will My Father honor. Now My Soul is troubled, and what shall I say? Father, save Me from this hour? But for this cause I came unto this hour. Father, glorify Your name! Then there came a voice from heaven, saying: I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again! The people therefore, that stood by and heard it, said that it thundered; others said, an angel spoke to Him. Yeshua answered and said: This voice came not because of Me, but for your sake. Now is the judgment of this world; now shall the prince of this world be cast out. And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto Me. (John 12:23-32)
Peace I leave with you, My peace I give unto you; not as the world gives, do I give unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. You have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If you Loved Me, you would rejoice, because I said I go unto the Father, for My Father is greater than I. And now I have told you before it comes to pass, that, when it has come to pass, you might believe. Hereafter, I will not talk much with you, for the prince of this world comes, and has nothing in Me. But, that the world may know that I Love the Father; and as the Father gave Me commandment, even so I do. Arise; let us go now. (John 14:27-31)
Nevertheless I tell you the truth; it is expedient for you that I go away: For if I do not go away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send Him unto you. And when He has come, He will reprove the world of sin and of righteousness and of judgment: Of sin, because they believe not on Me; of righteousness, because I go to My Father, and you will see Me no more; of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged. I have yet many things to say unto you, but you cannot bear them now. Howbeit when the Spirit of truth has come, He will guide you into all truth, for He shall not speak of Himself; but whatsoever He shall hear, that shall He speak, and He will show you things to come. (John 16:7-13)
Hear therefore the parable of the sower: When any one hears the word of the Kingdom, and understands it not, then comes the wicked one, and catches away that, which was sown in his heart: This is he, which received seed by the way side. But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that hears the word, and anon with joy receives it, yet he has not root in himself, but endures for a while: For when tribulation or persecution arises because of the word, by and by he is offended. He also that received seed among the thorns is he that hears the word; and the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word and he becomes unfruitful! But he that received seed into the good ground is he that hears the word and understands it; which also bears fruit, and brings forth, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty! (Matt 13:18-23)
For the preaching of the Cross is to them that perish, foolishness; but unto us that are saved it is the power of God. For it is written: "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent". Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this world? Has not God made foolish, the wisdom of this world? For after that, in the wisdom of God, the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching, to save them that believe. For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumbling block, and unto the Greeks foolishness: But unto them that are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. (1Co 1:18-24)
Churches are just physical monuments to the gods. They are all an attempt to appease the gods, or a God, by constructing something physical or tangible; yea, even grandiose (oh, the egos of Godless men). From the myriad of pyramids all over Earth, to Stonehenge, Mounds, and a long list of other earthly constructs, churches are no different in that hope-attempt at reaching for the favors or attentions of their Maker.
Of course, what differentiates Messiah Yeshua from virtually all religions practiced by humans, including christendom and/or christianity, is that Messiah Yeshua – and all His disciples throughout all cultures and generations – understand that we can only have a personal relationship with YHVH, via the incorporeal Soul within us.
My Master was hunted and murdered for His anti-religious stance, and taught us that we'd be similarly persecuted by the religionists (and other forms of power mongers, such as politicians, landlords, employers, lenders, etc.) that are all around us. Listen to my fellow disciples words, how they just assumed that everyone who'd been Spiritually transformed, should naturally know this fundamental data, as it applies to the Elect of YHVH (i.e. What? Don't you know?):
Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats, but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body. And God has both risen up the Lord, and will also rise up us by His own power. Know you not that your bodies are the members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of a harlot? God forbid. What? Know you not, that he which is joined to a harlot, is one body? For two, says He, shall be one flesh. But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit. Flee fornication. Every sin that a man does is without the body, but he that commits fornication sins against his own body. What? Know you not, that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which you have of God, and you are not your own? For you are bought with a price, therefore, glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's. (1Co 6:13-20)
For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the Heavens. For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house, which is from Heaven: If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked. For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened; not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life. Now He that has wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who also has given unto us the earnest of the Spirit.
Therefore, we are always confident, knowing that, while we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: For we walk by faith, not by sight. We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. Therefore, we labor, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of Him. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that everyone may receive the things done in his body, according to what he has done, whether it is good or bad. Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God, and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences. (2Co 5:1-11)
Our physical bodies are just temporary containers to bring our eternal Soul into being. It is our conscious conscientiousness; it represents an important first step in our Spiritual evolution. But ultimately, this earthly tabernacle (our bodies) will return to the dust from which it came (Gen 3:19): It is the Temple of The Lord, for us disciples of Messiah Yeshua on Earth. Once we physically die and are freed from the bondage of corporeality itself, we will be empowered far beyond what we were, in our very limited corporeal form. This is why it is so vital for YHVH to make sure that we, as eternally volitional beings, can be trusted in an eternal body.
If I loan you something that is of value to me, and you take care of it, you expose to me that you respect me, by caring for my borrowed object, returning it whole and undamaged. But if you carelessly handle it and break it or render it valueless, you are disrespecting me in the doing. That object will one day perish, as will all things corporeal; it has no eternal value, and so it is not the object that's as important, as is your act of respect, or disrespect, of me in the handling of the borrowed object. One cannot respect the inanimate, but only other people. In like manner, my body does not belong to me; it belongs to the Lord: Why?
For I am crucified with Christ: Nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ that lives in me, and the life which I now live in the flesh, I live by faith of the Son of God, who Loved me and gave Himself for me. (Gal 2:20)
The old me died; my former person ceased to exist. Once I died of me; once my earth life was destroyed, the Indwelling Holy Spirit had the space in my inner rooms (in my Soul) to occupy me; I was (and am) born again. The Holy Spirit does not, cannot, had not, occupied any human Soul that refuses to die. That death is not a corporeal death, obviously, and so, it is a death to the self; it is (primarily) a death to pride, to ego, and to emotions, as they were the former core and center; the former lords and masters of a human-centric world.
This is the world that Messiah Yeshua was referring to, and not the planet itself. All the planets and heavenly bodies belong to YHVH; everything is owned by YHVH. But we humans, alone, were created with (initially dormant, but) eternal Souls, which is what separates us from all other corporeal life-forms, on Earth (Ecc 3:19-21) and perhaps elsewhere.
Those who are pride driven to remain the gods of their own life and their own world, are thus, hellbent on seeking and finding data that aids in justifying or validation the beliefs they now must hold firmly to. That was/is the downfall of satan and all his followers, christianized or otherwise. Pride is the eternal doom of the prophesied masses on Broadway (Matt 7:13-14,21-23); they are not interested in YHVH truth, nearly as much as they are in proving their particular interpretations of scripture are the correct versions.
Consequently, we have a huge number of pride driven, satan inspired, christians, roaming Earth today. Ironically, it is the scriptures that prophesy their presence here in these end times, as well as their oblivion to being those very people. Hence, they are, Matthew Seven Christians!
The Matthew Seven Christians can only see the scriptures as literal writings directly from their god-figure, which takes 3 forms, or a repackaged polytheism (the Catholic trinity model), though they will oddly deny it. But all of christendom (the COP clan: Catholic; Orthodox; Protestant), are one in the same theological production, with only minor variations between them all (though they will surely see them as major). But these are primal, carnal, territorial, competitive, worldly people, merely pretending to be associated with my Master, Messiah Yeshua, Savior of humanity.
Two distinct methods (or paradigms) of enculturation emerge among the humans of this world; competition and cooperation. This eventually gave way to the (now dominant) western paradigm, versus the native or indigenous paradigm. The numerically greatest genocide and thus act of evil ever perpetrated on Earth, was done by the westernized-christianized-monetized-industrialized, capitalistic Europeans, hunger-lusting for gold or money power, and looked upon the indigenous (or Native) Americans as merely sub-human vermin savages to be killed off, whenever they stood in their conquest ways.
Is any of that even remotely Christ-like? Of course not! It was in fact, satanic at its very core. These self-believing christians were in fact, among the most evil of all humans on Earth forever. But how can self-professing christians throughout human history, be so antiChrist? And the answer to that is simple: Satan, as the god of this world, always works through those who are faking christianity, to destroy the name and character of Messiah Yeshua (or Jesus Christ later in time), because the Messiah was the one to doom satan, and all who follow him or mimic him.
Therefore, since we have this ministry, as we received mercy, we do not lose heart, but we have renounced the things hidden because of shame, not walking in craftiness or adulterating the word of God, but by the manifestation of truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God. And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, in whose case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, so that they might not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. For we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your bond-servants, for Jesus sake. For God who said: Light shall shine out of darkness! He is the One who has shone in our hearts to give the Light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ. But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, so that the surpassing greatness of the power, will be of God, and not from ourselves. We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not despairing; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; always carrying about in the body, the dying of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus, also may be manifested in our body. For we who live are constantly being delivered over to death for Jesus sake, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh. So death works in us, but life in you. (2Co 4:1-12 nasb)
Consequently, the trillion demon army that serve satan, influence primarily the westernized-christianized-monetized-industrialized, to do their bidding, and thus to bring about the prophetic end-time events, which are soon to culminate. Naturally, the incorporeal demons cannot touch the (infinitesimal and inconspicuous) Elect of YHVH; the disciples of Messiah Yeshua, for they fear us most of all. Like our master, King and Lord, who was filled with the Holy Spirit (and who was/is that Spirit), the demons and the demon possessed, run from us (Luke 8:28-31,32-35,36-39).
In fact, only satan himself dared to tempt Christ, and that was only under very unusual circumstances {*}. Satan knew he'd be wasting his time trying to tempt Him further. And so it is with the Elect of YHVH; we are immune to satan and his incorporeal demon armies; however, the Godless-religious are always surrounded by these demons, desecrating any/all things Messianic. In fact, it is those (humans) for whom we are to be wise about (Matt 10:16-18).
Without the overwhelming fullness that comes to all who harbor the Indwelling Holy Spirit, the vast majority of humanity will live in a peace-less state; that is, they will never be whole or complete, and as such, they will never experience enoughness, or contentment, or fullness, or a true joy in simple living, as we were designed (1Ti 6:6-11). Instead, the demons that haunt them continuously, push them with ambitious thoughts; and fear of all kinds (1Jo 4:18); they clamor for more and more; they hunger-lust to dominate (just like their primate relatives do) in their territorial pursuits.
Primates have no Soul; thus, they do not have the tool for faith. They operate purely on instinct and emotions; they strive to survive; they're in the moment always. They cannot trust in a Higher Power to provide for their future, and so they risk death daily to survive. The monkey trap is an excellent example taught to children of this dilemma. The primate puts its hand into a trap, where the hole is only big enough to get the empty hand in, but not the fist full of food, out. Rather than just releasing and escaping, instinct demands never to let go once you possess it. Greed, materialism, and hoarding!
Territorialism is also a primate trait, which also haunts the bulk of humanity, who (likewise) have no direct connect with their own Soul. They are little more than animals on Earth, and remain in a state that Messiah Yeshua died, precisely to ameliorate, or even eliminate. All humans are issued a Soul even while still in the womb (Matt 18:1-6,7-10); however, those who are not the future resurrected saints, the Elect of YHVH, but, who associate in any way with Messiah or Christ (e.g. Christians; Christendom), these unfortunate people are what my Master referred to as the utmost lost, in Matthew 7:21-23,24-27.
These Matthew Seven Christians are assured of their eternal doom, exactly because they thought they were saved, via their religion centric associations, their self-beliefs, and their verbal professions of faith in Jesus. Ironically, it is the devotion to religion itself, which spells their eternal doom. The major thing that Messiah Yeshua did on the Cross, was to expose the fraudulent nature of organized religion as the den of thieves that twist and prostitute and adulterate literally everything that was represented in the Gospels and in the life and lifestyle of Messiah Yeshua Himself.
That prostitution morphed over time, and was the cause (and the root) of some of the most profound manifestations of evil, ever perpetrated by the human species forever. It was so profound and comprehensive in its scope, it could not be an intrinsic or natural phenomenon: Indeed, it was/is supernatural, but it was not YHVH doing it; it was the god of this world, satan, and his trillion demon incorporeal army, infecting any and all who flew the flag of christendom.
Why is all this so? Because Messiah Yeshua was satans only enemy; Christ doomed him eternally, upon His resurrection from corporeal death (in 0033 AD): Consequently, the demonic wrath of satan was expressed mostly (but not exclusively) through the Matthew Seven Christians, which developed from the 1st Century split (1Jo 2:15-17,18-20) from communal discipleship, and back to the religion-business model, and that morphed over a few dozen generations, into what we know of today as westernized christianization. Or more specifically, what is clustered into this: the westernized-christianized-monetized-industrialized. All these are really one thing, once a person comprehends enculturation.
Therefore, the evidence of all this, can best be seen in the products and byproducts of the westernized-monetized-christianized-industrialized; e.g. the fictional war between the scientific and christianized communities of the westernized world, and mostly in the US; satans end-time playground; Sodom 2.0. This is seen also in the COPs pride-driven belief that the bible in one single and literal law book written by god. Indeed, that was (and still is) the great error.
The Godless, and the Godless-religious, all copy one another in this world. The Godless-religious show forth whom they service, even though they themselves, are oblivious to it all. The god of this world is thus all around and all over this world; there is no location, up or down, left or right, north, south, east or west, which satan and his demon crew, do not occupy. In fact, my brother Saul said it this way:
And you He has quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; wherein in times past, you walked according to the course of this world; according to the prince of the power of the air; the spirit that now works in the children of disobedience: Among whom also, we all had our conversation in times past, in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. (Eph 2:1-3)
Focus for a moment on the location: the prince of the power of the air! Ever notice how people point upward when they think they are referring to god? Indeed! Their god, is the god of this world, and he is very much above you; below you; next to you. And No! Your dead relatives are not looking down on us or you; they are unconscious; they sleep; they are currently in oblivion (1Th 4:13-18; 1Co 15:20; John 5:28-29); the dead are literally below you. But the attention to up and down is itself, revelatory of the human predilection to follow satan so easily; so mindlessly; so casually.
The worldly cannot think with the mind of Messiah (1Co 2:15-16); they are Spiritually blind and therefore, they can only think inside the tiny paradigms of their own micro-experiences. They monkey-see-monkey-do–copy-mimic-parrot always, unable to think for themselves; to have few if any original thoughts; to see outside of the tiny shoe boxes of their own enculturation micro-experiences; they are worldly minded, but Spiritually blind. Thus, they live just like those who directly influence them: Consequently, they see and judge all things in dollar increments. Beware the monetizers!
For one example (among thousands); the dollar cost of gasoline is how they assess or decide their participation in the worldly Car Cult, and not how the cult impacts Earth itself or other life-forms. Money becomes the central, if not the only, benchmark-barometer-compass-core, of all other subsequent thoughts. But for the Love conquered (infinitesimal and inconspicuous) Elect of YHVH; we make all our life choices based upon how they impact other humans and animals, locally and globally. We care little about the monetary evaluation of anything, and will in fact, spend more money protecting life, rather than to take the easy way out only to save monies. That defines Love succinctly!
For another example; the mockery of praying to the god of this world, satan, but thinking it is YHVH (intentionally or ignorantly), is a manifestation of Spiritual darkness that exposes demonic influence on some level. It is far worse than any of the lifestyle sins that the religionists condemn others for, such as pedophilia, homosexuality, rape, mass murder, and so on. The reason for this is Messianic: My Lord-Master (and lifestyle paradigm) Messiah Yeshua, openly opposed the religionists of His time/culture, for being worse, sin wise, than the most heinous of sinners elsewhere.
There are people on Death Row, for sin-acts (crimes) that are heinous and unthinkable to our human sensibilities, but to YHVH, they pale in comparison to faking a religious stance. Why? All sins can be forgiven, except the eternal sins; central to those is the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit, and that is only possible if one first represents ones self as an individual who is personally yoked with the (Indwelling) Holy Spirit, but who in fact, is not, but who then proceeds to act (in the world) as a representation and/or an ambassador of YHVH via that Indwelling.
If an individual has not surrendered unconditionally unto the supreme and eternal Lordship of Messiah Yeshua, and has died utterly to this life; dead to pride-ego-emotions, and dead to all earthly dreams and desires, and have only then, been born-again as a completely new person (creation); if an individual has simply added religion, as an addendum, to their otherwise antiChrist life and lifestyle; that individual is just Pharisaic, and as a modern day Pharisee, they are more sinful than the most sinful individual from among the entire human species, based upon that fraud alone.
They will "treat you like family" so long as you keep bringing them money, but the homeless and/or poor, they treat like crap; that's the way of the world. Most people do not believe in demons, or at least, in demon possession; however, this is not because there is a lack of evidence, but because of what artists and writers have created fictionally to represent the demonic realm. Even scripture can give the impression that demon presence or possession is obvious; sometimes it is.
But in fact, demon presence and possession is only recognizable to the infinitesimal (and inconspicuous) Elect of YHVH, which is about a tenth of a percent numerically, and that's just from among the accountable adults, at any given point in spacetime. And, only so many from among the Elect of YHVH, have the maturation for/of such discernment, though all are capable or armed for such. Just because Dark Matter cannot be measured, does not mean it is not there; we know it's there by how it impacts all that it surrounds (John 3:6-8; Acts 2:1-4).
For the vast majority of all humanity, what a person decides is truth, then becomes the target and focus of their research (Luke 16:13-15): They seek only to validate or confirm (i.e. confirmation bias) what they have already decided to be truth (John 17:16-17). But what that truth must (and does) align with, is the sum of their enculturation, which itself, is impacted by the core-base self, which is survival as they see it: And survival in modernity is summarized by/in money-dependency, and thus, whatever self-delusion is needed to keep those dollars flowing in; this is what will represent the sum of them; hence, the epidemic of cognitive dissonance.
Most humans are not merely influenced by (present) demons; they are themselves, future demons. Demonic influence is observed in the characteristics of satan himself; power hunger being the most prominent, and from that core identity, we have all the other manifestations of power hunger; employment-based or money-based power positions, as well as political and religious (or human-made) power structures. To summarize, demon possession, or just demon influence, reveals itself in authoritarianism, dominion/domination, landlordism, controlism, leadership, hierarchy, or generically speaking, the control-freaks!
The god/s of this world are those with the most money; those who are considered the best looking are worth more than the rest, as the culture openly displays everywhere. Among the Faithless-Godless-Loveless masses, humans are elevated to god-status; humans are the heroes of other humans; people are the lords and leaders of the masses. Eventually such psychopathy degrades into more extreme forms of mental illness, such as open narcissism.
Of course, those like that who read these words, and do not like them, but will really only have one option to silence them; they could track down the writer and murder them I suppose, but the more likely scenario is to pull out their well-used weapon of ad hominem: Attack the messenger for their undesired or revelatory words. In the absence of genuine YHVH centric wisdom (or, without the mind of Messiah), the mere mortal have few other options.
Receive one who is weak in the faith, but not to disputes over doubtful things. For one believes he may eat all things, but he who is weak eats only vegetables. Let not him who eats despise him who does not eat, and let not him who does not eat judge him who eats; for God has received him. Who are you to judge others servants? To his own master he stands or falls. Indeed, he will be made to stand, for God is able to make him stand.
One person esteems one day above another; another esteems every day alike. Let each be fully convinced in his own mind. He who observes the day, observes it to the Lord; and he who does not observe the day, to the Lord he does not observe it. He who eats, eats to the Lord, for he gives God thanks; and he who does not eat, to the Lord he does not eat, and gives God thanks. For none of us lives to himself, and no one dies to himself. For if we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord.
Therefore, whether we live or die, we are the Lord's. For to this end, Christ died and rose and lived again, that He might be Lord of both the dead and the living. But why do you judge your brother? Or why do you show contempt for your brother? For we shall all stand before the Judgment seat of Christ. 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 shall give account of himself to God. Therefore, let us not judge one another anymore, but rather resolve this, not to put a stumbling block or a cause to fall in our brother's way. (Rom 14:1-10)
In Him you were also circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body of the sins of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ, buried with Him in baptism, in which you also were raised with Him through faith in the working of God, who raised Him from the dead. And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses, having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross. Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it.
So let no one judge you in food or in drink, or regarding a festival or a new moon or sabbaths, which are a shadow of things to come, but the substance is of Christ. Let no one cheat you of your reward, taking delight in false humility and worship of angels, intruding into those things which he has not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, and not holding fast to the Head, from whom all the body, nourished and knit together by joints and ligaments, grows with the increase that is from God.
Therefore, if you died with Christ from the basic principles of the world, why, as though living in the world, do you subject yourselves to regulations – "do not touch, do not taste, do not handle," which all concern things which perish with the using – according to the commandments and doctrines of men? These things indeed have an appearance of wisdom in self-imposed religion, false humility, and neglect of the body, but are of no value against the indulgence of the flesh. (Col 2:11-23)
Jude, the servant of Yeshua the Messiah, and brother of James, to them that are sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Yeshua the Messiah, and called: Mercy unto you, and peace, and Love be multiplied. Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that you should earnestly contend for the faith, which was once delivered unto the saints. For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old, ordained to this condemnation; Godless men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord, Yeshua the Messiah.
I will therefore, put you in remembrance, though you once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not. And the angels, which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, He has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the Judgment of the great day. Even as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. Likewise also, these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion {Lordship}, and speak evil of {said} dignities. Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil, as he disputed about the body of Moses, did not bring against him a railing accusation, but said: The Lord rebuke you!
But these speak evil of those things that they know not; but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves. Woe unto them! For they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core. These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: Clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withers, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots; raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, for who is reserved the blackness of darkness forever.
And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying: Behold, the Lord comes with ten thousand Saints, to execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are Godless among them of all their Godless deeds which they have committed, and of all their hard speeches which Godless sinners have spoken against Him. These murmur; they are complainers, walking after their own lusts, and their mouth speaks great swelling words, having men's persons in admiration because of advantage. {i.e. the hero worship of rich & famous humans}.
But beloved, you remember the words, which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord, Yeshua the Messiah: How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own Godless lusts. These are they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit. But you beloved, building up yourselves on your most Holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit; keep yourselves in the Love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord, Messiah Yeshua, unto eternal life. And of some have compassion, making a difference: And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire, hating even the garment spotted by the flesh. Now unto Him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy: To the only wise God our Savior, be the glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and forever. Amen! (Jude: all)
