Is it a building you go to to hear people sing, shout, pray, preach and lift their hands up to the Lord? No. The church is not a building. It's not just a place that you worship or learn the word of God. The church is the people. God's children are the church. And the church is His bride. Church isn't about man getting up to read from a book. It's about the Holy Spirit filling that man up to get up and preach the word of God. It's about fellowship with our brothers and sisters in Christ, Jesus. We can be saved anywhere, we can worship anywhere, we can pray anywhere, we can read His word anywhere. But for many, especially myself, church is the one place I can fellowship with my brothers and sisters in Christ. If we're saved I believe we want to fellowship with them and be around them. I don't know about anyone else, but I do.
Richard, prophetic 7744, still dodges the question that asks how he would implement his “kissing” policy that he claims is “commanded” in scripture!! But why does it appear Richard wants to keep his church activity under wraps???
Nevertheless, I must thank Richard for providing me another opportunity to expose his false teachings as follows.
The false prophetic with 7744 Pinocchio awards can’t defend his lengthy record of unfulfilled false prophecies and false teachings so he must go on the attack.
The false prophetic 7744 thinks 3-6 inch length hair on top of a man’s head is “short” but when the same 3-6 inch length hair grows on the side of a man’s head suddenly (according to the false prophetic7744) it becomes “long” hair!!
All readers should place a mental book mark here because this is the kind of false logic the false prophetic applies in his threads and posts.
The false prophet also falsely claims “Jesus and his disciples broke many laws” including the law that forbids men from cutting the hair on the sides of their heads and the sides of their beards. See Leviticus 19:27 "'Do not cut the hair at the sides of your head or clip off the edges of your beard.
Obviously Paul would NEVER assume the pretense of a false prophet like prophetic 7744 has by calling Jesus a lawbreaker, nor is Jesus’ length of hair brought into question by Paul’s comments. Paul was confirming the fact that nature itself teaches that beautiful flowing long hair is glorifying to women but its a shame for men.
Further, Paul doesn’t discuss the length of a man’s beard. Paul addresses only men and women’s hair.
So does the phony false prophetic 7744 really believe only women can have long beards???!!
I think I'm really beginning to understand the DEPTH of the problem with Richard the pathetic7744 false teacher and wanna be prophet! When he LOSES the discussion, as any "Pinocchio" LIAR usually does, he goes in not so much an "attack" mode but DISTRACTION mode to confuse readers so they don't look up the verses he ATTEMPTS to quote! To understand the REAL truth that he is a false teacher and false judge! For instance reading what Paul writes to the Corinthian Church he converted to the Torah Law, that was originally given to the Hebrews by YHWH. The Corinthians were obviously NOT Hebrews so what was the issue with them and the length of hair of a man and a woman??? Good question, no?
Look what Paul states in verse 16 (1 Corth. chapter 11) in how he writes - "But if any man seem to be contentious" and so what is the meaning of that word that Richard the false judge keeps using it for his false doctrine and "commandment" for Paul to write about it to the Corinthians?
contentious meaning - causing or likely to cause an argument; controversial.
So here we have Paul saying its just an "argument" and "controversial" to even bring it up in discussion before the Church because "we have no such custom, neither the churches (plural!) of God" (all KJV) for Hebrew churches or Greek churches? ..... Simply understood Paul is saying what's the big deal, its all just an "argument" and "controversial" so get over yourself you Corinthians! For you are dividing yourselves over petty hair length and such of other issues (verse 18!) that Paul was addressing that GREEK Corinthian Church about! Correct!? So we may NEVER know EXACTLY what Paul was addressing to them, the fighting among themselves and HERE on this forum we have PATHETIC Richard7744 ATTEMPTING to cause confusion and DISTRACTION from the thread topic! Its all just a BOGUS attempt for PATHETIC Richard7744 to force his "Corinthian" beliefs (whatever their hair length on head and beard they had!?) and more so his ROMAN "MODERN" hairdos onto people on this forum, while claiming to be giving them "kisses" at the same time! All while potentially infecting them with the corona virus??? So what "length" of hair is a "shame" to a man according to Hebrew customs? NONE listed in the Bible! What about Corinthian CUSTOMS??? NONE listed by Paul because OBVIOUSLY Paul was NOT a Corinthian! Wow! Is this Richard7744 PATHETIC in his false ASSUMPTION in the "teachings" of Paul or what David? We just don't KNOW what Paul was talking about, meaning WHO'S CUSTOM he was addressing!!!???
What we have here in Richard the PATHETIC7744 is a delusional perversion of the Bible in its meaning and purpose! Like this hair thing of his and the removing of words in verses or even adding words that are NOT written! Then to claim the Messiah broke Laws like the sanctified Sabbath and died for food!!!??? HUH??? It makes me wonder why MORE people on this forum do not comment about this CLOWN of Bible interpretation, all of his own self making, that the thinks he is authorized to do! I would guess people are scared pathetic7744 may list their forum names with ours David??? Hmmmmmm...
The 'church' is a business, a very big business, look how it has been established.
Pastor: CEO
Assistant pastor: 2nd in command
Board members or rather BORED members.
Treasurer
And the rest follow in their own way.
The people are the financial supporters duped into believing they need to give 10 percent of the gross amount of their pay to the so called church for so called ministry expenses.
Look into ( hushmoney.org ) then search for 501 C3 to get some good info about the business.
And what do the people do, they do nothing but follow the orders of the self proclaimed pastors and so called worship bands.
I Corinthians 11:14,16: Does not the very nature if things teach you that if a **MAN HAS LONG HAIR**, it is a **DISGRACE** to him... If anyone wants to contentious about this {Likr LittlestDavid} we have no other practice--nor do the **CHURCHES OF GOD**!
LittlestDavid proudly displays his **SINFUL LONG HAIR ** on his head in his profile picture, He also has another picture which he proudly displays when he had **SINFUL**LONG HAIR** ON HIS BEARD**
In the Old Testament men had long hair on their heads and their beards as per Leviticus 19:27. Beards are mentioned 17 times in the Old Testament while in the New Covenant beards are not even mentioned once!!
However, in the New Covenant it is **SHAMEFUL FOR A MAN TO HAVE LONG HAIR** which would apply to long hair on your head or on your beard and this was the practice in **ALL OF THE CHURCHES OF GOD**!!
The following Words of God can not be found in LittlestDavid's and TeddyHugger's** Bibles!!!
WE* ARE NO LONGER UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF THE LAW!!
Hebrews 7:18,19: The former regulation is **SET ASIDE** because it was **WEAK AND USELESS** for the law made nothing perfect, and a **BETTER HOPE** is introduced by which we draw near to God!
Galatians 2:14-16,20,21; Paul said, When I saw that they were not acting in line with the truth of the gospel, I said to Peter in front of them all, "You are a Jew, yet you live like a Gentile and not like a Jew. How is it, then that you force Gentiles to follow Jewish customs? We who are Jews by birth and not 'Gentile sinners' know that a man is NOT justified by observing the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by observing the law, because by observing the law no one will be justified.!"
Galatians 2:20,21: The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!"
Galatians 3:10-13: "All who rely on observing the law are under a curse, for it is written "Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law." Clearly no one is justified before God by the law, because, "The righteous will live by faith." The law is not based on faith; on the contrary, "The man who does these things will live by them." Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us!
Galatians 3:23-25: "Before faith came, we were held prisoners by the law, locked up until faith should be revealed. So the law was put in charge to lead us to Christ that we might be justified by faith. Now that faith has come, *WE* ARE NO LONGER UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF THE LAW!!"
Hebrews 7:18,19: The former regulation is SET ASIDE because it was weak and useless; for the law made nothing perfect, and a better hope is introduced, by which we draw near to God.!
Hebrews 8:8,9,13: "The time is coming." says the Lord, "when I will make a New Covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah".... By calling this Covenant "NEW", He has made the first one OBSOLETE; and what is OBSOLETE and aging will soon disappear."
Hebrews 8:6: But the ministry Jesus has received is as superior to theirs as the covenant of which He is Mediator is SUPERIOR TO THE OLD ONE, and it is founded on better promises.
Colossians 2:16,17: Therefore do not let anyone judge you by what you **EAT** or drink, or with regard to a religious festival, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day. These are a *SHADOW* of the things that were to come, the reality, however, is found in Christ!!!
Sorry Quiznos, if you were really accountable to the Messiah then you would obey him and respect the institution he set up—that would be the church.
Ephesians 4
Unity in the Body
11And it was >>>>>He<<<<<< who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, 12to equip the saints for works of ministry, to build up the body of Christ, 13until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God, as we mature to the full measure of the stature of Christ.
>>>>>>14Then<<<<<< we will no longer be infants, tossed about by the waves and carried around by every wind of teaching and by the clever cunning of men in their deceitful scheming.
Hebrews 13:17 New International Version, Have confidence in your leaders and >>>>>submit<<<<< to their authority, because they keep watch over you as those who must give an account. Do this so that their work will be a joy, not a burden, for that would be of no benefit to you.
Quiznos, you and the false prophetic7744 have so much in common, you guys ought to just get along and join TOTH in you attacks against me—oh wait—you’re already doing that
HUH??? It makes me wonder why MORE people on this forum do not comment about this CLOWN of Bible interpretation, all of his own self making, that the thinks he is authorized to do! I would guess people are scared pathetic7744 may list their forum names with ours David??? Hmmmmmm...
