For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers. Matthew 23:4
I taught the KID the Bible, and the kid went to join one of the “Christian” church available. And the kid grew spiritually but one thing he forgot, I was the one who introduce him to the Word of God. And there were times when we talked about God and the Bible that the kid thought he knew his Bible so well that he began debating me to the point that I just keep my silence. So it went on.
Years passed, and now the kid had grown into a big man….bigger than me. He had now a wife and kids of his own and was working in one prestigious company. His financial status was even better than me during that time which added the more to his puffed up spirituality.
And so we met, and I told him about how POLYGYNY WAS NOT A SIN AGAINST GOD!
And the kid accused me of many things. He even scolded me…never giving respect to an older man and perhaps his ELDER in the faith! He thought I was some kind of ignorant and vain person. Am I vain indeed? And so the kid told me NOT TO TEACH HIM WHAT WAS SIN IN THE SIGHT OF GOD. I just keep my cool and became silent.
And so he said he was “faithful” to his wife. He said he is not interested in no other woman except his wife. So I tested the kid. I use the cellphone of my child to pretend I was an available single rich girl named CAMILLE and that I lived in one of the subdivisions of the rich. I text him telling him I took his number from their company since my parents are stockholders in that company and that I was interested in him. And so we exchange texts for several weeks.
Then the final testing did come. I asked him if he was married. He talked of other things trying to divert the conversation. I asked again if he was married and finally he said that NO, HE WAS NOT MARRIED! Then I told him that I knew who his sister was and he was troubled so he called me up. I let one of the girls in my household pretend that she was Camille and he continued asking her how she knew many things about him. The girl told him that I was her UNCLE and that I was right where she was. Embarrass the Kid talked to me. And frankly I told him. YOU SAID IT WAS A SIN AGAINST GOD TO ENTER INTO EXTRA MARITAL AFFAIRS? WHY THEN DID YOU DO THIS? He asked for forgiveness right then and there-the kid who thought he could SEE WELL AND HEAR WELL!So careful kids! Donot be puff up…remain humble…so you maybe able to see well!
John 9:41 Jesus said to them, “If you were blind, you would have no sin; but since you say, ‘We see,’ your sin remains.
November 1, 2011 All Saints Day, but here in the Philippines (the only Christian Nation in Asia)-they have come to call it FIESTA MINATAY. It literally means the Feasts of the Dead sort of like they mixed All Saints Day (November 1) with All souls Day (November 2).
And today is my birthday but i don’t celebrate my birthday nor All Saints Day nor HALLOWEEN!
And just this afternoon at about 1:00 PM i was trying to catch a jeep so I can go downtown when I met member of a Christian Church. The fellow knows me well and my family, and he knew I was not rich. He knew that if it was not for one of their members who was a “good Samaritan” my family and I would have been squatters by now; with me still probably blind and w/o a job. He knew too that while my family was with them every Sabbath Day fellowshipping with them, I was sort of a “rebel”; for I do not follow what they think is right nor do I follow the majority (majority of the sheeps or the majority of the goats). I was an unconventional believer following my own conscience and how I understand the Word of God.
And the fellow with a superior air and sarcasm said to me: SO YOUR CELEBRATING HALLOWEEN HMMMP? What was he thinking? Why did he act that way? If I would have confronted him right there, he would have probably denied his ill will!
What am driving with this story is that despite the right doctrine taught to us, and even if we are doing the command of God not to celebrate pagan feasts w/c masquerades as Christian feasts; but our attitude and thinking is not saturated by the Word of God-WE WILL BE JUDGMENTAL AND WITH AN ILL WILL TOWARDS FELLOW BELIEVERS AND UNBELIEVERS! The Holy Scriptures tells us to make Love our greatest quest (1 Corinthian 14:1) and whatever we do and even when we speak, the scriptures tells us that we should be…” speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ”(Ephesian 4:15).
The Antichrist had manage to change the times and the Laws, he manage to almost erase the Seven(7) Feasts of God’s Kingdom almost totally covering them with man made feasts like Halloween, Christmas, Easter, Valentine Day…deceiving the people and even the believers like pilgrims w/o a map for the True Feasts of God are His Map toward the future! With the whole world deceived and under the power of the wicked one—those who searched for God and His will had a hard time finding THAT MAP & UNDERSTANDING IT!
