Isaiah 46:10 part 12
The End From the Beginning
Sodom and Gomorrah 3
Your Word Is a Lamp to My Feet
Psa 119:169-176 KJV TAU. Let my cry come near before thee, O LORD: give me understanding according to thy word. (170) Let my supplication come before thee: deliver me according to thy word. (171) My lips shall utter praise, when thou hast taught me thy statutes. (172) My tongue shall speak of thy word: for all thy commandments are righteousness. (173) Let thine hand help me; for I have chosen thy precepts. (174) I have longed for thy salvation, O LORD; and thy law is my delight. (175) Let my soul live, and it shall praise thee; and let thy judgments help me. (176) I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek thy servant; for I do not forget thy commandments.
Ecc 1:9-11 KJV The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun. (10) Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us. (11) There is no remembrance of former things; neither shall there be any remembrance of things that are to come with those that shall come after.
Ecc 3:14-15 KJV I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him. (15) That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth that which is past.
Ecc 3:16-17 KJV And moreover I saw under the sun the place of judgment, that wickedness was there; and the place of righteousness, that iniquity was there. (17) I said in mine heart, God shall judge the righteous and the wicked: for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work.
Christ Came to Fulfill the Law
Mat 5:17-20 KJV Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. (18) For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. (19) Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. (20) For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Mat 5:17 KJV Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
The Example of Christ
Rom 15:1-7 KJV We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves. (2) Let every one of us please his neighbour for his good to edification. (3) For even Christ pleased not himself; but, as it is written, The reproaches of them that reproached thee fell on me. (4) For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope. (5) Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded one toward another according to Christ Jesus: (6) That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. (7) Wherefore receive ye one another, as Christ also received us to the glory of God.
Rom 15:4 KJV For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.
Rev 19:10 KJV And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
Hello again friends. We are still exploring the subject of the beginning from the end. We are taking 1 more look at the subject of Sodom and Gomorrah and history repeating itself.
On the Road to Emmaus
Luk 24:13-17 KJV And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem about threescore furlongs. (14) And they talked together of all these things which had happened. (15) And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them. (16) But their eyes were holden that they should not know him. (17) And he said unto them, What manner of communications are these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad?
Luk 24:18-20 KJV And the one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answering said unto him, Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known the things which are come to pass there in these days? (19) And he said unto them, What things? And they said unto him, Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people: (20) And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death, and have crucified him.
Luk 24:21-24 KJV But we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed Israel: and beside all this, to day is the third day since these things were done. (22) Yea, and certain women also of our company made us astonished, which were early at the sepulchre; (23) And when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, which said that he was alive. (24) And certain of them which were with us went to the sepulchre, and found it even so as the women had said: but him they saw not.
Luk 24:25-27 KJV Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken: (26) Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory? (27) And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.
Luk 24:28-31 KJV And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they went: and he made as though he would have gone further. (29) But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent. And he went in to tarry with them. (30) And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them. (31) And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight.
God's Wrath on Unrighteousness
Rom 1:18-23 KJV For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; (19) Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. (20) For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: (21) Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. (22) Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, (23) And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
We have visited this passage a lot over the years. It’s amazing that everything that’s wrong in society almost always comes back to evolution. There is a teaching by Rabbi Jonathan Cahn called The Return of the gods Uncensored. It details ancient civilizations and their worship of what we would call demons but these civilizations called gods and goddesses. He goes into great detail about the worship of these gods and goddesses. He also explains how this crazy notion of changing who ABBA Father made us to be has been around for thousands of years. This propensity to be the opposite gender of what ABBA Father and Lord Yeshua made you to be. That ‘s whether you believe in Him or not. By the way Rabbi Cahn’s teaching takes us way back to the days of Baal and Ashtoreth. It’s just another stupid idea Satan gets into us some how to try and blaspheme ABBA Father and Lord Yeshua.
Mostly in the form of archaeological discoveries there are evidences of this abomination dating back to the days following Noah’s flood. Now before many get started saying the attitude displayed here is discriminatory. The ministry wants people to know that we hate the sin and not the sinner or at least try to. The way that evolution plays a role is by becoming a replacement for ABBA Father and Lord Yeshua. In other words this must be the truth simply because ABBA Father and Lord Yeshua did not do it.
Friends let’s put it this way. Everything Satan or the Devil is about is replacement. The enemy has always wanted to not only overthrow ABBA Father but probably murder Him as well. Perry Stone has a wonderful message explaining how we are actually the devil’s replacements. So these acts of replacement work both sides of the fence.
The Truth Will Set You Free
Joh 8:31-32 KJV Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; (32) And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
Joh 8:33-38 KJV They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free? (34) Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin. (35) And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever. (36) If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. (37) I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you. (38) I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father.
You Are of Your Father the Devil
Joh 8:39-41 KJV They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham. (40) But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham. (41) Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.
Joh 8:42-44 KJV Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me. (43) Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word. (44) Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
Joh 8:45-47 KJV And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not. (46) Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me? (47) He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.
Various Laws
Deu 22:5 KJV The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God.
The following comes from Nelson’s New Illustrated Bible Commentary.
Deuteronomy 22:5
Cross-dressing was forbidden by God in ancient Israel. In the ancient Middle East, dressing in the clothing of the opposite sex was a magical practice intended to bring harm to people. For example, a transvestite male would predict that the soldiers of another army would be as weak as females.
If you keep this out of society then many other sins would be avoided. The ministry here is not the only folks that feel this way. We will present some commentary from John Gill.
neither shall a man put on a woman's garment; which would betray effeminacy and softness unbecoming men, and would lead the way to many impurities, by giving an opportunity of mixing with women, and so to commit fornication and adultery with them; to prevent which and to preserve chastity this law seems to be made; and since in nature a difference of sexes is made, it is proper and necessary that this should be known by difference of dress, or otherwise many evils might follow; and this precept is agreeably to the law and light of nature: it is observed by an Heathen writer (m), that there is a twofold distribution of the law, the one written, the other not written; what we use in civil things is written, what is from nature and use is unwritten, as to walk naked in the market, or to put on a woman's garment: and change of the clothes of sexes was used among the Heathens by way of punishment, as of the soldiers that deserted, and of adulteresses (n); so abominable was it accounted: indeed it may be lawful in some cases, where life is in danger, to escape that, and provided chastity is preserved:
for all that do so are an abomination to the Lord thy God; which is a reason sufficient why such a practice should not be used. Some from this clause have been led to conclude, that respect is had to some customs of this kind used in idolatrous worship, which are always abominable to the Lord. So Maimonides (o) observes, that in a book of the Zabians, called "Tomtom", it is commanded, that a man should wear a woman's garment coloured when he stood before the star of Venus, and likewise that a woman should put on a coat of mail and warlike armour when she stood before the star of Mars; which he takes to be one reason of this law, though besides that he gives another, because hereby concupiscence would be excited, and an occasion for whoredom given: that there was some such customs among the Heathens may be confirmed from Macrobius (p), and Servius (q) as has been observed by Grotius; the former of which relates, that Philochorus affirmed that Venus is the moon, and that men sacrificed to her in women's garments, and women in men's; and for this reason, because she was thought to be both male and female; and the latter says, there was an image of Venus in Cyprus with a woman's body and garment, and with the sceptre and distinction of a man, to whom the men sacrificed in women's garments, and women in men's garments; and, as the above learned commentator observes, there were many colonies of the Phoenicians in Cyprus, from whom this custom might come; and to prevent it obtaining among the Israelites in any degree, who were now coming into their country, it is thought this law was made; for the priests of the Assyrian Venus made use of women's apparel (r), and in the feasts of Bacchus men disguised themselves like women (s).
Next we will look at some commentary from Jamieson, Fausset and Brown
Deu_22:5-12. The sex to be distinguished by apparel.
The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman’s garment — Though disguises were assumed at certain times in heathen temples, it is probable that a reference was made to unbecoming levities practiced in common life. They were properly forbidden; for the adoption of the habiliments of the one sex by the other is an outrage on decency, obliterates the distinctions of nature by fostering softness and effeminacy in the man, impudence and boldness in the woman as well as levity and hypocrisy in both; and, in short, it opens the door to an influx of so many evils that all who wear the dress of another sex are pronounced “an abomination unto the Lord.”
One last look at the subject from John Wesley
Deuteronomy 22:5
Shall not wear - Namely, ordinarily or unnecessarily, for in some cases this may be lawful, as to make an escape for one's life. Now this is forbidden, both for decency sake, that men might not confound those sexes which God hath distinguished, that all appearance of evil might be avoided, such change of garments carrying a manifest sign of effeminacy in the man, of arrogance in the woman, of lightness and petulancy in both; and also to cut off all suspicions and occasions of evil, which this practice opens a wide door to.
Just looking at this for a moment makes you wonder where did the Methodist church go wrong here. For those who may not even know, the Methodist church split over LGBTQ issues. What would John Wesley think about the church today?
Mat 19:4-6 KJV And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, (5) And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? (6) Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
We have a pretty good suspicion John Wesley would stick to scripture not our emotions or feelings. Before we move on to our next passage let’s stop long enough to say something. That being if you call yourself a Christian and really believe in scripture since some “Christians” do not. Then for those of us who do we understand the following:
The Throne in Heaven
Rev 4:1-4 KJV After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter. (2) And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne. (3) And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald. (4) And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold.
We feel confident in saying based upon our Lord Yeshua’s own words 12 of these will be occupied by the 12 apostles who were established after Judas Iscariot.
Mat 19:27 KJV Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore?
Mat 19:28-30 KJV And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. (29) And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life. (30) But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first.
Many also feel the other twelve will be occupied by the 12 respective leaders of the 12 tribes of Israel such as Judah, Reuben and so on. This is up for grabs actually. Because if this is the case people like Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses and all others who did all that ABBA Father commanded them are left out. The remaining 12 are as good as anybody’s guess. Personally yours truly believes it will be a combination of those we mentioned above. Those who did everything ABBA Father and Lord Yeshua asked of them. Perhaps folks like Noah, Abraham and Moses along with a few of the prophets will end up on the remaining 12 seats. Again my speculation means nothing. We are sure about 1 thing. If we dig around long enough and hard enough in the word we will get many answers. There are also many teachers out there who have some real good insights to what may be going on here. This is just a study from 1 ministry. We just read this mouthful to say this we are all sinners. Even the men we just listed above. We all had to make some changes as ABBA Father and Lord Yeshua’s children. The biblical case? For homosexual and transgender choices? None of the great patriarchs and matriarchs of the Bible got their names in the hall of faith for the 2 mentioned choices above.
Now to get back to our focus here. Some of the scriptures and some of the thoughts expressed here on will probably be controversial to some. The point being made will be based again on scripture informing us how to feel about something. Not how we feel about something influencing what we read in scripture. Amen!!
The word perfection can only be found or seen as ABBA Father and Lord Yeshua. The one thing we mentioned about the people above is that they did everything ABBA Father and Lord Yeshua asked of them. It’s also well known that our Lord and Savior Yeshua was the only sinless, perfect person to walk the face of this planet while we had Him here physically. The scripture as so often we reference tells us
The Righteousness of God Through Faith
Rom 3:21-26 KJV But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; (22) Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: (23) For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; (24) Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: (25) Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; (26) To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
In other words we as believers understand we are not the perfect ones. We are also not being hypocritical here in calling out this behavior. It works something like this. Yours truly has probably left more people disappointed in my life than I have probably led to Lord Yeshua. Let’s just keep it simple and say I have broken all 10 commandments throughout my life in addition to being a terrible teen to my parents. We can get into details sometime when we can converse about it. Point being this we are not to judge but as we recently checked the church has instructions on homosexual and transgender behavior. Get mad if you want but yeah it’s a choice not a disability. Let’s again look at what Paul left us with
Sexual Immorality Defiles the Church
1Co 5:11-13 KJV But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat. (12) For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within? (13) But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.
God's Wrath on Unrighteousness
Rom 1:18-23 KJV For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; (19) Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. (20) For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: (21) Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. (22) Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, (23) And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
Romans 1:18-32 is a passage we will get used to seeing a lot of as we move ever close to the return of our Lord and Savior Yeshua. We mentioned in our last get together how the theory of evolution sort of like the tower of Babel is a modern source for all false religion. It’s a theory for starters and nothing but the type of faith it criticizes can keep it’s absurdity in existence.
Gen 1:1 KJV In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
Gen 1:21 KJV And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
Gen 1:27 KJV So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
Gen_2:3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.
Gen_2:4 These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens,
Gen_5:1 This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him;
Gen_5:2 Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.
Gen_6:7 And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.
Mal_2:10 Have we not all one father? hath not one God created us? why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother, by profaning the covenant of our fathers?
1Co 11:8-9 KJV For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man. (9) Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man.
Eph 2:10 KJV For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
The Preeminence of Christ
Col 1:15-16 KJV Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: (16) For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
This is probably one of those verses that the unbelieving, scientific and skeptical worlds hate(If there are any they do not). It tells us that ABBA Father can make us and He can take us out. Where most haters of the Lord and ABBA Father want us to be able to wipe ourselves out. There is only one entity that ABBA Father created that wants us to do this. That being Satan. All that are searching for that “brotherhood of man” type stuff seem to ignore the easy answer.
Some Will Depart from the Faith
1Ti 4:1-5 KJV Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; (2) Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; (3) Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. (4) For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: (5) For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.
Again friends hate the sin and not the sinner is the general protocol. The main point here again being that we as people are created by ABBA Father and Lord Yeshua. When we take on the job of trying to be a Christian in many cases we as people are probably looking for some things to change in our lives. That’s when we know our salvation is clear. We like the way Romans 12 puts it to us.
A Living Sacrifice
Rom 12:1-2 KJV I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. (2) And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
If we are going as far to commit ourselves to ABBA Father and Lord Yeshua then we need to commit to change some things about ourselves. They might consists of how we feel about issues, our personal behaviors and if your like yours truly just a mischievous person in general. For example although a pro lifer all my life without giving any spiritual consideration to the subject. It’s not enough to say it’s wrong we need to understand how ABBA Father and Lord Yeshua looks at things and there are no gray areas. It’s not enough to say that Lord Yeshua was a great man or a magnificent prophet. He is Lord and Savior and most importantly the 1 and only Son of ABBA Father. AMEN!!
So to this point we can say that we have all sinned and forgotten or even willfully walked away from ABBA Father and Lord Yeshua such as Satanists. It does not matter which course of unbelief you follow, at all if it be atheism, humanism or any other religion or “ism” that has no Savior. It will all lead back to satan. Remember also satan is the only character who controls his demons and his useful idiots to turn people away from ABBA Father. This means every facet of being sexually immoral. It’s hard to believe we live in a world that sometimes calls pedophilia understandable. If you do not believe me remember we a society out there called NAMBLA. The North American Man /Boy Love Association. They even have their own logo and everything.
Just go to Wikipedia and look up list of groups advocated for pedophilia. Remember this is what Lord Yeshua told us.
Who Is the Greatest?
Mat 18:1-6 KJV At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven? (2) And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them, (3) And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. (4) Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. (5) And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me. (6) But whoso shall offendG4624one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

Part of Speech: verb
Notice what our word here is. It basically means scandal in today’s society. This is exactly what happens to children victimized. Some place here in our journeys there are more detailed studies about that very word. We are pleased to say this has been going for so long we cannot remember exactly where. We see people on the news all the time arrested for child pornography. What’s wild about all this is Satan has managed to get some LGBTQ groups at war with groups such as nambla. What was it that Lord Yeshua told us about a kingdom divided against itself. One more thing we will mention here do not forget the Jeffrey Epstein situation and list.
Temptations to Sin
Mat 18:7-9 KJV Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh! (8) Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off, and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire. (9) And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire.
We all come into this world the way ABBA Father intends either male or female. We are all children of ABBA Father and Lord Yeshua. We all have a purpose and an assignment from Him to complete. Many of us choose to go another way a while and come back. Many of us never hear or completely reject Him altogether willingly.
Luk 20:34-36 KJV And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage: (35) But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage: (36) Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.
Rom 8:16-17 KJV The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: (17) And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
1Jn 3:7-10 KJV Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. (8) He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. (9) Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. (10) In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.
1Jn 5:1-3 KJV Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him. (2) By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments. (3) For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
Eph 1:3-5 KJV Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: (4) According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: (5) Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
The Temple of the Living God
2Co 6:14-18 KJV Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? (15) And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? (16) And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. (17) Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, (18) And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
Blasphemy Against the Holy Spirit
Mat 12:22-26 KJV Then was brought unto him one possessed with a devil, blind, and dumb: and he healed him, insomuch that the blind and dumb both spake and saw. (23) And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this the son of David? (24) But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils. (25) And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand: (26) And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand?
Mat 12:27-30 KJV And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges. (28) But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you. (29) Or else how can one enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house. (30) He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.
Mat 12:31-32 KJV Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemyG988shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemyG988 against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men. (32) And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy GhostG4151, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.

Now some say well the only sin that will send us to Hell is blasphemy. However does this mean we are not supposed to change things about ourselves. No it does not.
Mat 5:19 KJV Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
Can you kind of get a feeling why ABBA Father and Lord Yeshua would not want this in His church?. We should not be allowing it not only in the church or at our schools as we saw above. How about at our white house.
God's Wrath on Unrighteousness
Rom 1:23-27 KJV And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. (24) Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: (25) Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. (26) For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: (27) And likewise also the men, leaving the naturalG5446useG5540of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemlyG808, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

When we believe we are nothing more than creatures of habit the atrocities we see some people doing to our children over transgender treatments take place. There are or were laws passed or trying to be passed that allowed a child as young as 5 years of age could go to school as little Charlie and come home Charlene with no input allowed from parents.
When we believe we are nothing more than another type of animal the violence takes place. Also the following takes place.
Rom 1:28-32 KJV And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; (29) Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, (30) Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, (31) Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: (32) Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
We will hopefully be able to do a study that will encompass all the descriptions of folks and their behavior above.

The New Heaven and the New Earth
Rev 21:1-8 KJV And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. (2) And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. (3) And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. (4) And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. (5) And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. (6) And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. (7) He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. (8) But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
The biblical case for LGBTQ? Well we don’t necessarily find it anywhere in scripture in either testament. We must be careful what we are preaching and teaching. The Methodist church had a split over these issues because apparently the wrong people at the top quit believing in the scripture. There are always answers to all the hot issues in scripture. It all comes back to doing what He wants of us.
Joh 8:42-45 KJV Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me. (43) Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word. (44) Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. (45) And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.
Joh 10:9-11 KJV I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. (10) The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. (11) I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
Come to Me, and I Will Give You Rest
Mat 11:25-30 KJV At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes. (26) Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight. (27) All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him. (28) Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. (29) Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. (30) For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
Wait for the God of Salvation
Mic 7:1-7 KJV Woe is me! for I am as when they have gathered the summer fruits, as the grapegleanings of the vintage: there is no cluster to eat: my soul desired the firstripe fruit. (2) The good man is perished out of the earth: and there is none upright among men: they all lie in wait for blood; they hunt every man his brother with a net. (3) That they may do evil with both hands earnestly, the prince asketh, and the judge asketh for a reward; and the great man, he uttereth his mischievous desire: so they wrap it up. (4) The best of them is as a brier: the most upright is sharper than a thorn hedge: the day of thy watchmen and thy visitation cometh; now shall be their perplexity. (5) Trust ye not in a friend, put ye not confidence in a guide: keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom. (6) For the son dishonoureth the father, the daughter riseth up against her mother, the daughter in law against her mother in law; a man's enemies are the men of his own house. (7) Therefore I will look unto the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me.
As always thanks for sharing a word
God Bless
