Scripture Reading: Deuteronomy 5:8-18

When Judah, one of the 12 covenant sons of Jacob, was about 15 years old, he took the daughter of Shua, of the race of the Canaanites, to be his wife. She was descended from the murderer Cain. He had three sons with her. They were three mongrel sons that were forbidden to enter the congregation of Israel. Their names were:

  1. Er: Named by Judah,
  2. Onan: Named by his Canaanite wife, and
  3. Shelah: Named by his Canaanite wife.

Judah had broken God’s 7th commandment. To make matters worse, Judah got a pure Israelite woman, Tamar, to be the bride of his first mongrel son. The book of Jasher says that Tamar was the daughter of Elam, who was the son of Shem. Judah probably lied to Elam about his wife or Elam wouldn’t have given her to be Er’s wife.

Er was about 15 years old; Judah about 30 or 31 when the two were brought together for marriage. But Er was wicked in the sight of the LORD because he would not consummate his marriage with Tamar, therefore the LORD slew him. So Er died childless, and Tamar was a widow.

Scripture Reading: Deuteronomy 5:4-7

In the last sermon, we learned that one who is born a holy descendant of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is a child of God. Any person of another race or seed line cannot come up to the front of a church and say any words, even the “sinner’s pray” to become a child of God. A child of God is born a child of God. He is either, by birth, a child of God or he isn’t. It can’t be changed, that is, it can’t be changed from a person who is not a child of God to a person that is. There is nothing a person can do to change it.

The question that any true child of God or Israelite must answer is: Which god or gods will they serve. Many Israelites have worshipped in the past and are worshiping other gods in the present. That is the battle that children of God face every day. Will they do the rituals, deeds, holidays and commandments of the gods of the Canaanites or will they do the rituals, deeds, holy days and commandments of their God.

Scripture Reading Deuteronomy 5:2-3

Last week we discussed who is the advisor to our president, Donald Trump, on religious matters, who is the person that prayed at his inauguration and advises him on his decisions that affect the world of the religious realm.

Couldn’t he find anyone who would be a better choice than her? At the rate the world is traveling upside down, the pope will soon be a woman. But like it was in the days of Elijah, one would have to look long and hard to find a true man of God. Most preachers are Baal preachers. Paula White-Cain is just one of many false prophets.

They are universalists, Roman Catholic in their theology. They believe that the Israelites of the Bible are jews, and that the jews are the covenant people of God. Most don’t know that the Ashkenazi jews are descended from a branch that is not from the person of Shem. Therefore, they are not Semitic. They make up slightly over 90% of all jews today. That is according to jewish records and books. It is impossible for the Ashkenazi jews to be at least partly descended from Jacob unless they have intermarried with a descendant of Jacob.

Christmas Qualms

by James Jester

When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him (Matthew 2:3).

Dictionary:

Misgiving: qualm, doubt, reservation; suspicion; (misgivings) distrust, mistrust, lack of confidence, second thoughts; trepidation, skepticism, unease, uneasiness, anxiety, apprehension.

Probably most devout and sincere Christians, at least some time in their life, have had second thoughts about Christmas being the birth of Jesus, the Christ child. And, for good reason, things like: commercialism, pagan customs, and the catholic mass. But, that is a different subject.

God’s enemies had some anxieties about the birth of our Savior. King Herod certainly was suspicious of a prophesied king out of Bethlehem. And, he set out to kill the baby. Even all of Jerusalem had a sense of uneasiness about the prospect of a new king coming to perhaps interfere with their choice of lifestyle. Did the people of Jerusalem love their sins too much?

Would the United We Stand organization who sponsored the women's marches last week in Cincinnati be in favor of God's laws or would they keep their own God forbidden laws for their daughter's sake?  Find out what they believe--they are our enemy.

Scripture Reading: Deuteronomy 4:32-38

Moses’ farewell address to Israel. Moses starts off by asking a question, Has anyone ever seen such a thing as has happened to you? You are now alive, and yet you heard the voice of God speaking from the fire. Has anyone heard God speaking audibly to them as a nation? For example: Have the Chinese ever in their history heard God speak from a fire to them? Have the Indians? Have the Hispanics? Have the Negroes?

The only nation who has ever had this happen was the nation of Israelites at Mt. Sinai. What do you think that God said to His people at this time? It was really His wedding proposal!  But besides this happening, has any other nation been taken from another nation? Israel was taken out of Egypt, just four generations from the covenant that the LORD God made with their fathers.

Lies that Pastors and Priests Tell

by James Jester

Christians go to church nearly every Sunday expecting to hear the truth yet most pastors tell some very big lies. They claim to teach the Bible yet teach and say things in total contradiction to the scriptures. They may not even realize they are telling lies to their congregations because they are just ignorant of what the Bible says. However, it is their job to know the scriptures; and why hasn’t their training from the colleges and seminaries taught them properly? Now that is a big question!

How to Identify a False Church

By James Jester

Revised 2018

It is depressing to live in an age where Christianity is so corrupt that it makes those who know the whole truth of the Bible feel like Elijah. To Elijah, it appeared that he was alone in preaching the whole counsel of God. Today it is the same – most churches do not preach all that is found in the Bible. How can a Christian identify a false church? Surely, any real Christian attempting to serve God would not want to be in a false church. There are some signs that can indicate if an alleged church is fake. I will start with the least sign to the most sure sign that can help us identify a false church. Sadly, most churches today have all of these problems. But for the sake of study, let us examine each of these characteristics separately.

Scripture Reading:  Deuteronomy 4:4-8

Two weeks ago was New Year’s Day. The day before New Year’s Day is a day spent in celebration of the end of the old year and the beginning, or birth, of the new. But for how long has this been the situation? Has it been in existence for over 6000 years that New Year’s Day is on January 1st.

When I was in the eighth grade, I remember it very well; we were assigned to do a written report and in addition to our written report we had to also give a speech in front of our class about a certain topic. My topic had to do with the a few of the different calendars that were in existence in the world. I learned then, that this was a difficult subject for me to understand.

However, the teacher liked my report and had me give it at a special meeting of teachers; but it was just an elementary level report, but I had never thought about it before. I knew then that it was a lot more complicated than I could understand. And it still is.

Later, I learned, thanks to Christian Identity, that biblical ancient Israel had a very different calendar than we have now. Their new year had been, for over 3500 years, in the springtime. This explained some previously difficult scriptures that had to do with different calendars. For example, the day began in the Bible at the setting of the sun and not at one second after Midnight. This cleared up several scriptures right away.

Here is a scripture which tells us that Israel was to celebrate each new year in the spring:
