Rev 2:20, 24,25

20 Nevertheless, I have this against you: you tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess. By her teaching she misleads my servants into sexual immorality and the eating of food sacrificed to idols.

24 & 25 Now I say to the rest of you in Thyatira, to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan's so-called deep secrets, "I will not impose any other burden on you, except to hold on to what you have until I come."

What our Master and Saviour, Yahushua the Messiah, said here is no different from what he has said in:

Exodus 22:18 Do not allow a sorceress to live.

Deut 18:9-14 When you enter the land YHVH your God is giving you, do not learn to imitate the detestable ways of the nations there. Let no one be found among you who sacrifices their son or daughter in the fire, who practises divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, or casts spells, or who is a medium or spiritist or who consults the dead. Anyone who does these things is detestable to YHVH; because of these same detestable practices YHVH your God will drive out those nations before you. You must be blameless before YHVH your God.

Whom did the Master say were taught by Jezebel? His servants. He did not say the world or sinners, but his servants. One may wonder why the servants of the Messiah would allow themselves to be taught things contrary to what they already knew. This is because the "teacher" claimed to be a prophetess. With the title of a prophetess, she claimed to have received revelations.

The intention of the woman, Jezebel, was to corrupt the servants of the Messiah and steer them away from what they already knew, righteousness. That was the only way she could rule exercise authority - satanic authority - over them.

By her teaching, she misled some of the saints into believing that there was nothing wrong with being in the Messiah and engaging in sinful activities, such as sexual immorality.

By her teaching, she taught some of the saints to have one leg in the path of righteousness and one leg in demonism. She taught that it was okay to eat from the table of the Messiah and the table Satan.

The teaching of Jezebel promoted all kinds of wickedness and disobedience to the Commandments of YHVH. She detested righteousness. Her teaching fiercely opposed the complete obedience to the Word of YHVH Almighty. She detested those who propagated/disseminated the Truth and promoted those who taught demonism/satanism(demonology).

This same spirit of Jezebel has wormed its way into the lives of so many people who claim to follow Yahushua the Messiah.

There is no other weapon a saint of YHVH Almighty has than the Word of YHVH Almighty and obedience to him. The light in you, and which shines through you, the saint, is the authority and power you have over the powers of darkness and their activities. Allowing this light to shine - doing the will of YHVH Almighty, obeying his Word - is the only thing that renders the activities of the kingdom of darkness powerless, just as light cancels the effect of darkness. Knowing the names of demons and their levels will in no way empower the servants of YHVH El Shaddai in a spiritual warfare.

As a saint of YHVH Almighty, do not bother yourself with the knowledge of the activities of Satan. It is a journey down a slippery hill which no saint should embark on.

The servants of YHVH Almighty should rather concentrate on their own activities - bearing the fruits of righteousness. This alone nullifies the activities of the kingdom of wickedness and their agents. They know this very well.

As the servants of YHVH Almighty, let our focus be on the complete obedience to the Commandments of YHVH Almighty. .

It will do us a lot good to heed these pieces of advice from the Word and Wisdom of YHVH Almighty, Yahushua the Messiah.

Proverbs 4:25-27 Let your eyes look straight ahead, fix your gaze directly before you. Give careful thought to the paths of your feet and be steadfast in all your ways. Do not turn to the right or to the left; keep your foot from evil.

May our Father in heaven, YHVH Almighty, continue to guide and guard his servants.

El Elohe Yahshrael! Hallelu Yah!

As a saint of YHVH Almighty, obedience to his Ten Commandments is the fuel you need to continue to shine.
Re: Without righteouness and purity you cannot enter heaven. by elated177(op): 4:56pm On Nov 15, 2019
Continue to shine in a sinful and crooked world. Obedience to the Ten Commandments is the energy supplier.
Re: Without righteouness and purity you cannot enter heaven. by elated177(op):
When it comes to obedience to the Ten Commandments of the Father, lawless people are quick to quote this portion of the Scriptures - albeit out of context - "our righteous acts are like filthy rags."

When it comes to offering, seed-sowing, tithing, everything that has to do with money, they never remember the same Scripture.

Why?

Could it is because they are in it for the money and don't have regard for the Commandments of YHVH Almighty?

Could these lawless people explain this Scripture?

Rev 19:8 Fine linen, bright and clean, was given her to wear. (Fine linen stands for the righteous acts of YHVH's holy people.)


Away from me you who practise lawlessness.
Re: Without righteouness and purity you cannot enter heaven. by elated177(op):
What makes a person a man or a woman?

Biologically/naturally, a male has a penis and two testes. His chest is flat and he neither develops breasts like a female nor does he produce breast milk like a female. These are the core physical features of a male.

A female, on the other hand, has a vagina and develops breasts and breast milk.

The organ - penis or vagina - a person is born with determines their gender.

The point of all these is stated below.

No matter how handsome, good looking, pretty, beautiful or whatever a male may appear, he is not a woman. Regardless of how "soft" or even feminine a male may appear, it should never make him sexually desirable to other males.

It doesn't matter how stone-faced, "ugly", hard or whatever, a male may appear, he should never desire a person of the same gender or be desired by a person of the same gender for any form of sexual relationship.

It is an aberration for a male to desire another male for sexual relationship. A male should not be a sexual object to another male. It is abnormal. It is an abomination.

Also, no matter how "ugly" or stone-faced a female looks, she is not a male. No matter how hard, muscular or even masculine a female is, she is female and should never be sexually attractive to other females. Such an attraction, wherever it exists, is an aberration. It is an abomination.

Regardless of how soft, pretty, beautiful, or whatever, a female may appear, she should neither desire nor be desired by a person of the same gender for any form of sexual relationship.

Sexual reassignment is an abomination. YHVH of Hosts sees it as detestable. It is from the pit of darkness. It is of the devil. What a person feels within - as long as gender is concerned - is irrelevant and shouldn't determine the person's gender. The mind can tampered with - deceived or influenced. But the physical features don't lie with respect to gender.

The feeling of being a male trapped in a female body or a female trapped in a male body is satanic.

The Crux of the matter is that no physical feature of a person should ever make such a person sexually appealing to the people of the same gender. No physical feature of a person of the same gender should ever make such a person sexually attractive to you.

Same-sex attraction is a thing of the mind. The mind can be tampered with.

Allow the Word of YHVH of Hosts to rule your mind. Don't let your mind rule you into eternal damnation.

Two, actually.

Matthew 22:34-40 When the Pharisees heard that Yahushua had silenced the Sadducees, they came together, and one of them, a teacher of the Law, tried to trap him with a question. "Teacher," he asked, "which is the greatest commandment in the Law?" Yahushua answered, " 'Love YHVH your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.' This is the greatest and the most important commandment. The second most important commandment is like it: 'Love your neighbor as you love yourself.' The whole Law of Moses and the teachings of the prophets depend on these two commandments."

lf you do not love your neighbour who you see how can you love God whom you have not seen.

For as long as you did this to the least of my brethren, you have done it unto me.

1 John 4v20


No one has seen God at anytime, if we love one another God abides in us, and his love has been perfected in us.
1 john 4v12


My point is that of the two greatest commandments given by jesus, if any man keeps the second perfectly, he would find it easier to keep the first, according to John.

Also jesus in Matthew 25 judges the nations by how they loved the least of his brethren not by their beliefs in doctrines or salvation formulas.

Those are my points.

Do unto others as ye would have them do unto you. These are the law and the prophets.

ln Matthew 25v31-46, according to jesus whom you say you follow, the only thing that takes you to eternal punishment is lack of love that does nothing about human suffering not laid down rules or set of doctrines on how to worship God or not worship God.

Pure and Undefined religion before God is this:
To visit orphans and widows and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.

Now it is obvious you have something against the Ten Commandments. Do you think the Ten Commandments are doctrines? You are beginning to sound almost bitter.

Matthew 25:31-46 is part of obeying the instructions of the Father in heaven. You are the one trying to make a doctrine out of it.

Are you saying you can worship demons, take care of all the orphans and widows in this world and inherit the kingdom of YHVH Almighty?

Are you saying that the one who kills, commits adultery, steals, slanders others and covets, but feeds all the widows and orphans in Nigeria is doing right and will inherit the Kingdom of YHVH Almighty?

Whoever loves his neighbour as himself would never steal, slander, or covet from them. That's a contradiction.

You say l am trying to make a doctrine of Matthew 25v31-46, but these are clearest teachings about hellfire in the entire bible. So why don't Christians generally base their doctrines on Hellfire from it?

Don't live by commandments, live by worldviews and principles and create laws for society from such principles.
Jesus did not come to give commandments generally, but to teach us God's principles from which societies could derive new commandments for their situation.

Without the Ten Commandments, how else would we have known what love is?

No one really can obey YHVH Almighty except with help of his Spirit.

You have now exposed your problem with this particular thread.

I shouldn't live by the Ten Commandments, but live by world views and principles? Really? No, thanks.

I will live by the Ten Commandments of the Father in heaven.

Yahushua the Messiah is the embodiment of the Ten Commandments of the Father in heaven. He is the Word YHVH Almighty.

He came to reiterate the importance of obeying the Commandments of the Father in heaven, which you referred to as principles, and to make it possible for us to do so by offering himself for our redemption and freedom, so we can serve the Father in heaven in righteousness and Holiness all our days.
