Should Christians Judge?

Written by David Ben-Ariel


Continued from page 1

Again,repparttar apostle Paul wrote that "he that is spiritual judges all things" (I Cor. 2:15). Today such a Scripture would be politically incorrect. It appears as if it's "live and let live," "never judge," as long as whatever it is is wrong and not right! The spiritual person is to judge everything based uponrepparttar 149689 Law Book that we callrepparttar 149690 Holy Bible. In fact,repparttar 149691 fact that so many people are confused as to what's right and wrong and have blurred any DISTINCTION betweenrepparttar 149692 two isrepparttar 149693 fault of faulty ministers!

Yes, I'm judging them! I'm judging them by their lack of performance sincerepparttar 149694 Scripture teaches that they're supposed to "teach my peoplerepparttar 149695 DIFFERENCE betweenrepparttar 149696 holy andrepparttar 149697 profane, and cause them to DISCERN betweenrepparttar 149698 unclean andrepparttar 149699 clean. And in controversy they shall stand in judgment; and they shall judge it ACCORDING TO MY JUDGMENTS (notrepparttar 149700 latest poll): and they shall keep my laws and my statutes in all mine assemblies; and they shall hallow my sabbaths" (Ezek. 44:23-24).

We're to viewrepparttar 149701 news from a higher perspective, through God's eyes, and judge everything accordingly (Isa. 55:8-9). As is far too evident in our attitudes and actions, we're so far away from true spirituality that it's past time to read God's mind and go byrepparttar 149702 Book! (Deut.17:18-20). Without that stabilizing standard there's only chaos and confusion.

May God blessrepparttar 149703 American and British peoples, and our Jewish brethren, to rediscoverrepparttar 149704 law and order of our biblical Hebrew roots and flourish rather than flounder!

The Plain Truth about Easter

Written by David Ben-Ariel


Continued from page 1

God isn't fooled by such baptized paganism, such whitewashed heathen customs (Deut. 12:30). He commands us to commemorate Jesus' death every Passover and recognize His atoning work of redemption as our resurrected High Priest in Heaven, unleavening our lives of sin (I Cor. 5:7-8). The early Church followed Jesus' Jewish example for several hundred years until Gentile opposition (from false converts) threatened them with a death sentence if they didn't bow before Easter observances (the Quarto-Deciman controversy)!

A growing number now know, understand and believerepparttar biblical account that we're to observe Passover and that Jesus was resurrected before sunrise Sunday, "when it was yet dark" (Jn. 10:1). Others prefer to reject this light of understanding to remain in their traditional darkness (John 3:19).

Thankfully, every generation has those chosen few who are willing to "earnestly contend forrepparttar 149688 faith once delivered" (Jude 3). Hopefully, this will cause you to question your beliefs and provide some kosher food for thought!
