Call no man Father Written by Rev Anthony Smith
Call no man Father by Anthony Smith Matthew 23:5-23:10 Call no man Father A look at deception and Consequences. The institution of Christian religion was and is still based on words of Jesus and Holy Spirit directing men to put forth laws and statutes that are pleasing to Father. Many have taken this law of Our Father in Heaven and made it to none effect upon this earth to millions. Some times men will say, “Its all in interpretation.” But where in Bible is it stated that, Scripture is only open to private interpretation? This is a deception and misleading statement. In Matthew 23:5 we see Jesus rebuking leadership of Church for Vanity, lets read; Matthew 23:5-10 But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge borders of their garments, And love uppermost rooms at feasts, and chief seats in synagogues, And greetings in markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi. The stability of House of Israel was not upon minds of religious leadership at this time. Leaders were trying, as is today, to enlarge their influence upon congregations. Making laws and rules and changing truth of word of God into a lie. Not stopping for a moment to see damage that they have done neither repenting of it. These men as some are today, cannot see clearly neither can they see any farther than their own ambition. Wanting to make a name for themselves in annals of history, but what they fail to understand, history will neither remember them nor will any of saints of God. Ask yourself a question, Why Did Jesus come to this earth? What was so important that He gave up, Glory for abuse, a mansion for a rock, Golden Garments for Rags, Honor for Dishonor? John 8:45-49 And because I tell you truth, ye believe me not. How many have been put down because they have told truth? Mankind has gotten to point that they would rather believe a lie instead of believing truth. Mans truth is short lived and it is cankerous and moth eaten. Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say truth, why do ye not believe me? Why wont they believe truth, message after message from Word of God and many still reject truth. Man has stated;” We have developed a Roadmap to Peace in Middle East.” The facts state; U.S. Consulate in Saudi Arabia hit An attack on U.S. consulate in Jiddah, Saudi Arabia, left five non-American staff, four police and three extremists dead, U.S. and Saudi officials said after three-hour long battle. Suit against military policy on Gays, Gunfights rage in Baghdad streets. After escaping from PA prison several months ago, Kamil returned to Jenin region and significantly increased his involvement in Islamic Jihad activity. Kamil is responsible for both executing and directing explosive device attacks and shooting attacks against Israeli security forces operating in Kabatya region. Kamil recruited a vast number of operatives to Islamic Jihad infrastructure in Jenin region. Even after this man still calls others father. What have they done, have they delivered any from sin, have they saved a single soul, have they created anything from nothing, have they caused man to be at peace with each other, NO. They can do nothing. And what about them hearing truth, Jesus said; He that is of God heareth God’s words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God. This was a harsh statement wasn’t it, but does this statement from Christ still hold true today? The answer is yes. Everything Jesus said and did was from True Father in Heaven and not a man made doctrine of human fatherhood. Then answered Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil? {This was an example of Blaspheme of Holy Ghost} Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and ye do dishonour me. {Mat 23:12-13 And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted. But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.} [ABA’SED, pp. Reduced to a low state, humbled, degraded.] Jesus in this verse declares state of Priest and others that dared to exalt themselves above level of servant to people. Jesus stated that, he came to serve and not to be served. These last few verses are most ignored verses in Scripture, Lets read;
| | ~ Rejoice and Be Thou Ravished ~Written by Dot McGinnis
~ Rejoice and Be Thou Ravished ~“Let thy fountain be blessed: and rejoice with wife of thy youth. Let her be as loving hind and pleasant roe; let her breasts satisfy thee at all times; and be thou ravished always with her love." Proverbs 5:18-19 When interpreting Scripture, we must always keep in mind that manners and customs, in Bible days, differed greatly from those we have today. For example, when dealing with what some would consider “delicate subjects”, they did so freely; readily discussing sexual and personal matters in mixed company, and often in presence of their children. Their discussions were done in an open manner; with a frankness and a bluntness that would make many people, in today’s society, blush. We need to keep these things in mind when interpreting verses like those above. Verse 18 begins, “Let thy fountain be blessed.” The Hebrew word for fountain is maw-kore’ and way it is used here is as a euphemism, for female pudenda; female genitals or sexual organs. This verse goes on to say, “and rejoice with” (not apart from, but together with), “the wife of your youth.” This is talking about sexual act, which is to be a joyous experience for both partners, within a marriage. It is talking here about marriage and marital relationships, not premarital, or extra-marital relationships. Verse 19 says, “Let her be as loving hind,” (female deer) “and pleasant roe” (wild climbing goat). The Hebrew word for loving is ah’hab, which speaks of affection; sexual or otherwise. Pleasant or khane means well-favored, or gracious; precious, an object of beauty.
