Hello everyone,
Yes it is me again, the truth seeker.
Maybe there are a few people that have asked this question, 'Where is that found in the Word of GOD Almighty'.
Within the Organization known as The Church,men and woman say things like 'my pastor', worship service, 'church leader'(s), NEGATIVE,POSITIVE,and many other such sayings; When being asked where to find these sayings in the Word of GOD, they become indignent for being questioned as to the origin of such sayings.Messiah let people question Him about what He was saying and doing, without becoming indignent.
Let us look at a few saying, and titles,then ask ourselves 'Where is that in the Word of GOD Almighty.
If these ssyings and titles are not in the Word of GOD, then they must be the sayings of men or the DEVIL.
1. Going to 'church'
There is an english term 'church' but that is not in the Word of GOD Almighty. The Greek word being translated 'church' is the word 'ekklessia' which means, The called out ones,The assembly.
The 'church' is an ORGANIZATION, the BODY of Messiah is an ORGANISM. One is a dead organization under the authourity of Ceasar thru the 501C3 CORPORATION tax exempt status, The other is a living ORGANISM whose Head is Messiah Yeshua.
2. My pastor; The Pastor of the body of Messiah is the Messiah Himself as He clearly states in John 10 verses 11 - 12
Messiah states the HE is THE good Shepherd,meaning there is no other shepherd that is good.Oh by the way, the Greek word for shepherd is 'poimen', which means PASTOR,Messiah is THE GOOD PASTOR.
The ONE man system in the 'church' cannot be found within the NEW COVENANT, but there are to be a PLURALITY of ELDERS to have the oversight ,not one person.
1 Timothy 5 verse 17
Titus 1 verse 5
James 5 verse 14
1 Peter 5 verse 1
3. Worship leader; This is an absurd title which completely usurps the authority and position of the HOLY SPIRIT as the WORSHIP leader, to lead and empower people to Worship Messiah in Spirit and truth.
The people follow what a man tells them, stand, sit, pray, give money, just like a monkey.
4. Worship band; Another ansurd title not found in the Word of GOD Almighty. This so called band usurps even steals from the people the time they are to be bringing from the Word of GOD, all that the Holy Spirit has revealed to them about Messiah during the prior week, in order to EDIFY the BODY of believers.
5. Youth leader; again another absurd title made up by man in order to bambuzzle and baffle the sheeple into believing that such titles exist within the Word of GOD Almighty.
6. Worship service, again something not found within the Word of GOD Almighty.
Tithes and offerings,( not in the New Covenant)
Nurses
One person praying for everyone
Confessing sins before breaking bread with Messiah
I could go on for hours, but you get the idea, that the 'church' is a RELIGION just like the budhist,moslims, or any of the worlds religions.
In Matthew 16 verse 18 Messiah promises that HE will build His called out ones,not the 'church' which men want to build.
Remember we have the WORD of GOD Almighty and the words of men. One of these has power to change a person, the other does not. One is of GOD Almighty, one is of men.
One GOD Almighty takes responsibility to build and provide for, the other is mans responsibilty .
Please check the real Word of GOD Almighty to see if what i have written is true, If theses are true, what will you do with them.

Ephesians 4:7,11-13: To each one of us grace has been given as Christ apportioned it.... It is He that gives some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be **PASTORS** and teachers, to prepare God's people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ!

Hi proph, i knew someone would post the Scripture from Ephesuans without translating the Word . The english word 'SOME'should not be there. I should have posted 'The FIVE FOLD MINISTRY', also, not of GOD Almighty.
Did you read the Scriptures i posted about the ELDERS,most people will not, as they have their minds made up that the UNBIBLICAL pastoral system in the 'church' is of GOD, when it is not.
The 'church' pastors say they are practising the Moses style of leadership, with Moses representing the OLD COVENANT,and the LAW. Moses and this type is done away with in Messiah,as the NEW COVENANT makes the OLD COVENANT OBSOLETE.
The 'church' has not come out from being under the law into the New Covenant of GRACE in MESSIAH.

So what's your point? That if you're a Believer you shouldn't use words that aren't in the Bible? (Whizzah whuzzah?)
If that's the case, then you would have to advocate that true believers speak only Hebrew and Greek because the English language (Yes, even the beloved KJV) misses the mark on conveying the true meaning contained in numerous scriptures.
Words are simply the vehicle used to convey meaning. And it's not a sin to use a modern-language word to describe a present day church-related title, role are entity.

Ephesians 4:7,11-13: To each one of us grace has been given as Christ apportioned it.... It is He {Not churches or denominations}that gives some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be **PASTORS** and teachers, to prepare God's people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ! Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming. Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body Him who is the Head, that is, Christ. From Him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love as each part does its work! {With the hope of countless eternal rewards and crowns for faithful and loving service!!}

**JESUS WILL GIVE COUNTLESS ETERNAL REWARDS AND TREASURES AND CROWNS IN HEAVEN TO ALL OF HIS SAINTS ACCORDING TO WHAT HE HAS DONE**!!
**SALVATION IS 100% FREE**
Titus 3:3,4: At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another. But when the kindness and **LOVE** of God our Savior appeared , He saved us, **NOT BECAUSE OF RIGHTEOUS THINGS WE HAD DONE**, but because of **HIS MERCY**!!
John 1:12,13: To all who received Him, to those who believed in His name, he gave the right to become children of God--children born not of natural descent, **NOR OF A HUMAN DECISION** or a husband's will but, **BORN OF GOD**!!
John 6:37,39,44,65: Jesus says, "**ALL** that the Father gives Me **WILL** come to Me, and whoever comes to Me I will **NEVER** drive away... And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that I shall **LOSE NONE** of all that He has given Me, but raise them up at the Last Day.... No one can come to Me **UNLESS** the Father who sent Me **DRAWS HIM**, and I will raise him up at the Last Day!!... No one can come to Me **UNLESS** the Father has **ENABLED THEM**!!"
Ephesians 2:8,9: For it is by **GRACE** you have been saved, through **FAITH**�and this **NOT FROM YOURSELVES**, it is the **GIFT OF GOD**�not by works. So that no one can boast. For we are **GOD'S WORKMANSHIP**, created in Christ Jesus to do **GOOD WORKS**, which God prepared in advance for us to do!
Romans 12:3: For by the **GRACE GIVEN ME** I say to every one of you.

Romans 9:15,16,18: God says, "I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion." It does not, therefore, depend on human desire or effort, but on God's mercy...Therefore God has mercy on whom He wants to have mercy, and He hardens whom He wants to harden.
But God's saints still preach God's Word and whosoever will to everyone; since only God knows the true motives of human hearts and who will fall away when tested.
Revelation 17:14: They will wage war against the **LAMB**, but the **LAMB** will triumph over them because He is Lord of lords and King of kings--and with Him will be His **CALLED**, **CHOSEN** and **FAITHFUL** followers!

Hebrews 11:1,6: Now faith {**A FREE GIFT OF GOD**} is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see....And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists and that He *REWARDS** those who earnestly seek Him!!

I Corinthians 3:7-9: So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God who makes things grow. The man who plants and the man who watered have one purpose, and each will be **REWARDED** according to his own labor. For we are God's fellow workers, you are God's field, God's building!
Colossians 3:17: And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the **NAME OF THE LORD JESUS**, giving thanks to God the Father through Him!
John 15:5,8: Jesus says, "I am the Vine, you are the branches. If you remain in Me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from Me you can do nothing... This is to My Father's glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be My disciples!"
Matthew 13:23; Jesus says, "But the seed falling on the good soil refers to someone who hears the Word and understands it. This is the one who producesa a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown!"
I Corinthians 9:17,18: When I preach the Gospel, I cannot boast, for I am compelled to preach. Woe to me if I do not preach the Gospel! If I preach **VOLUNTARILY**, I have a **REWARD**; if not voluntarily, I am simply discharging the trust committed to me. What then is my reward?? Just this: that in preaching the Gospel I may offer it **FREE OF CHARGE**, and so not make use of my rights in preaching it!
Psalm 19:8-11: The commands of the Lord are radiant, giving light to the eyes. The fear of the Lord is pure, enduring forever. The ordinances of the Lord are sure and altogether righteous. They are more precious than gold, they are sweeter than honey from the comb. In keeping them there is **GREAT REWARD**!!
2 Corinthians 5:9,10: We make it our goal to please Him... for we must all appear before the Judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive what is due him for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad.

1 Corinthians 3:13-15: His work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each man's work.

2 John 1:8: Watch out that you do not lose what you have worked for, but that you be **REWARDED FULLY**!
Colossians 3:23-25: Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a **REWARD**. It is the Lord Christ you are serving. Anyone who does wrong will be repaid for his wrong, and there is no favoritism.
Matthew 6:3,4,6: Jesus says, "When you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing so that your giving my be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will **REWARD** you!!... When you pray, go into your room, close the door, and pray to your Father who is unseen Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will **REWARD** you!!"
2 Peter 1:5-11: Make every effort to add to your faith {A Free Gift} goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness,**LOVE**. For it you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ. But if anyone does not have them, he is near-sighted and blind, and has forgotten he has been cleansed of his past sins. Therefore, my brothers, be all the more eager to make your calling and election sure. For if you do these things, you will never fail, and you will receive a **RICH WELCOME** into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Luke 6:35: Jesus says, "Love your enemies, do good to them and lend to them without expecting anything back {Matt 5:45 adds "Pray for those who persecute you!!"} Then your **REWARD WILL BE GREAT**, and you will be sons of the Most High, because He is kind to the ungrateful and wicked!"
Proverbs 25:21,22: If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat; if he is thirsty, give him water to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head, and the Lord will **REWARD** you! This passage is also quoted in Romans 12:20 which adds: Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good!!

Revelation 3:21: Jesus says, "To him who overcomes, I will give the right to **SIT WITH ME** on My throne, just as I overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne!!"
**HOW TO WIN TREASURES IN HEAVEN**

Luke 12:33,34: Jesus says, "Sell your possessions and give to the poor, provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a **TREASURE IN HEAVEN** that will not be exhausted... For where your **TREASURE* is there **YOUR HEART** will be also!!"

For where your **TREASURE is, there **YOUR HEART** will be also!!"
**HOW TO WIN HEAVENLY ETERNAL CROWNS**
I Corinthians 9:24-27: Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes in to strict training. They do it to get a **CROWN** that will not last; but we do it to get a **CROWN THAT WILL LAST FOREVER**! Therefore, I do not run like a man running aimlessly. I do not fight like a man beating the air. No, I beat my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize!
I Peter 5:2-4: Be shepherds of God's flock that is under your care, watch over them--not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be; not pursuing dishonest gain, but eager to serve, not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock. And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the **CROWN OF GLORY** that will **NEVER FADE AWAY**!!
Ephesians 4:7,11-13: To each one of us grace has been given as Christ apportioned it.... It is He that gives some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be **PASTORS** and teachers, to prepare God's people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ! Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming. Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body Him who is the Head, that is, Christ. From Him the whole body, joined abnd held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love as each part does its work! {With the hope of countless eternal rewards and crowns for faithful and loving service!!}
And so God's Word confirms that these heavenly crowns **WILL LAST FOREVER** and **WILL NEVER FADE AWAY**!!
Revelation 3:11: Jesus says, �I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your **CROWN**!�
2 Timothy 4:7,8: I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the **CROWN** of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day�and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for His appearing!
The **CROWN OF LIFE** for those who persevere under trials and persecution:
James 1:12: Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the **CROWN OF LIFE** that God has promised to those who love Him!
Revelation 2:10 Jesus says, �Do not be afraid of what you are about to suffer... Be faithful, even to the point of death, and I will give you the **CROWN OF LIFE!�
Matthew 5:11,12: Jesus says, �Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your **REWARD** in heaven!�
Hebrews 10:32-36: Remember those earlier days after you had received the Light, when you stood your ground in a great contest in the face of suffering. Sometimes you were publicly exposed to insult and persecution; at other times you stood side by side with those who were so treated. You sympathized with those in prison and joyfully accepted the confiscation of your property, because you knew that you yourselves had better and lasting possessions. So do not throw away your confidence; it will be **RICHLY REWARDED**. You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, **YOU RECEIVE WHAT HE HAS PROMISED**!!!

Hello
The words and titles i posted are used by people which seem to believe that the words and titles are in the Word of GOD Almighty, when they are not.
We say that we BELIEVE the Word of GOD, yet we give value to that which is not in the Word, while making light of what is in the Word of GOD Almighty.
Only the Word of GOD Almighty has power to change a person from an UNBELIEVER to a BELIEVER (Mark 1 verse 15 )
When the WORD says that the ELDERS are to have the OVERSIGHT of the body, but instead institute a singular mans system have we not despised the Word of GOD for the words of men.
Have we not rejected GOD ALmightys Word for the words and traditions of men, is that not sinning against GOD Almighty?
Words have meanings, take for instance the Word REPENT, this simply means TO CHANGE YOUR MIND,yet i have heard so called pastors say that repent means that you were going one way, now turn around and go the other way. These pastors proclaim a WORKS salvation, not GRACE thru FAITH.
Remember what JOSEPH Goebells said, Tell people a lie enough and they will believe it.

Hi H3368
Maybe you do not like the words of the Word of GOD,.
Maybe the meaning of certain words offend you and others so we change the meaning in order to make us FEEL GOOD about ourselves.
Lets look at a word which the christians use, but might not have any idea of its meaning and application.
WORSHIP,every sunday you might hear the phrase LETS STAND AND WORSHIP, then a band plays music that has been picked for the people to listen to, with words to make the people FEEL good.
Is that really worship?
PROSKUNEO ( worship ) This means to bow down and kiss the masters hand like a dog.
Worship can also attribute value to someone, Like a man telling his friends about his wife, that she is a good wife, mother, steward, and cook.
Why do the christians stand, singing songs, yet most never have anything to share from the Word concerning who Messiah is, and what He is like.
Worship cannot be lead by a person self called a worship leader, as ONLY the Holy Spirit is able to empower a person to worship Messiah in spirit and truth in the Word of GOD Almighty.
Do not get me wrong, i want to see the christians REPENT, REPENT of their UNBELIEF, concerning GOD Almighty and His word.
I would like to see the self called pastors REPENT of their UNBELIEF, publicly confessing they have been decieving the people with false gospels, and not giving way to the ELDERS to OVERSEE the people.
Confessing they are in it for the money and benefits, to control the sheeple, while not wanting to be confronted with their unbelief.
Remember when Messiah said to the pharisees, Go learn what this means, I would have mercy not sacrifice.

You make a lot of presumptions. I take no issue with the person who leads a church�s music ministry being called a "worship leader", because their role is to lead worship--or as you described in one of your definitions: attribute value to someone (in this case, God/Jesus/Holy Spirit). Worshipping in Spirit and in truth may or may not involve music, as well as may or may not evoke feelings, so I do not see it as a matter of a right way or wrong way to worship God. You either do, or you don�t. And the way in which an individual chooses to draw close to God in worship is his/her business. And some may very well be entertained by it as you claim, as others may very well be edified it--I leave that judgement to God because I can't examine another person's heart; I can only examine their fruit.

Hi H3368
I believe you wrote this.
You make a lot of presumptions.

And some may very well be entertained by it as you claim, as others may very well be edified it--I leave that judgement to God because I can't examine another person's heart; I can only examine their fruit.
IN the WORD OF GOD ALMIGHTY we are told HOW GOD ALMIGHTY wants to be worshipped, this is important to know, as GOD ALMIGHTY does not leave this for man to decide how to worship GOD Almighty when people gather/ assemble together.
Let us look at the INSTRUCTIONS GOD Almighty has given to us in His Word concerning how He wants us to meet together.
If we disregard the instructions of GOD Almighty are we not rebellious, and have we not grieved the Holy Spirit so that He does not manifest His presence as He had done in the early does of the body of believers.
1 Corinthians 14:23
Therefore if the whole assembly assembles together and all speak in tongues, and ungifted men or unbelievers enter, will they not say that you are mad?
1 Cor 14:24
But if all prophesy, and an unbeliever or an ungifted man enters, he is convicted by all, he is called to account by all;
1Co 14:25
the secrets of his heart are disclosed; and so he will fall on his face and worship God, declaring that God is certainly among you.
1 Cor 14:26
�
What is the outcome then, brethren? When you assemble, each one has a psalm, has a teaching, has a revelation, has a tongue, has an interpretation. Let all things be done for edification.
1 Cor 14:27
If anyone speaks in a tongue, it should be by two or at the most three, and each in turn, and one must interpret;
1 Cor 14:28
but if there is no interpreter, he must keep silent in the assembly; and let him speak to himself and to God.
1 Cor 14:29
Let two or three prophets speak, and let the others pass judgment.
1 Cor 14:30
But if a revelation is made to another who is seated, the first one must keep silent.
1 Cor 14:31
For you can all prophesy one by one, so that all may learn and all may be exhorted;
1 Cor 14:32
and the spirits of prophets are subject to prophets;
1 Cor 14:33
for God is not a God of confusion but of peace, as in all the assemblies of the saints.
Maybe you have been ignorant of this part of the Word of GOD, seeing the pastors do not teach this as this reveals the freedom of EACH believer to bring something to share with the body of believers to EDIFY one another.
I had been told in one organization that WE do not do that here, OH so you disregard the Word of GOD Almighty for your OWN interpretation, and traditions.
When disregard the Word of GOD Almighty for the words of men we find that the Holy Spirit is grieved and the people have no power.
Please do yourself a favor, I will give you a homework assignment, do not be like the Christians that drink the kool aid from the same cup. Investigate what you believe, do not take what a person tells you just because the take a title upon themselves.
Read thru 1 Corinthians chapters 11 thru 14 to see if these words, titles or phrases are written in the Word of GOD Almighty. IF they are not, ask yourself Why did not the Holy Spirit allow them to be in there.
If they are not there, could men have ADDED to the Word of GOD Almighty that which should not be there.
Senior pastor
Assistant pastor
Youth pastor
Worship leader
Worship band
Worship service
Confessing ones sins to get right with GOD Almighty before breaking bread ( 1 Corinthians 11 )
These are enough to keep you busy for the next week.
Also look at this web site about the tax exempt status the so called ' church ' enjoys under the directions of Ceasar/ the government.

Touching on the point of �worshiping leader�, In a large corporal body of Christ, it is natural order to appoint someone to a specific task according to the blessings from the Spirit. If a person has a musical talent and wants to server, lets that person serve, either to sing or to be a director of music. The elders can appoint that person as �whatever you call it� to lead the congregation with the goal of edifying to body of Christ. Otherwise, the congregation would be in chaos. The bible doesn�t explicitly say about appointing a �worshiping leader� but it says about the orderly procession when people come together. The bible also gives a lot of authority and responsibilities to the Elders to make decisions and to delegate. Why not appoint someone to direct the worshipping traffic ? What the qualm is all about ?
1 Corinthians 14:26-33,40
1Co 14:26 What is it then, brethren? When ye come together, each one hath a psalm, hath a teaching, hath a revelation, hath a tongue, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying.
1Co 14:27 If any man speaketh in a tongue, let it be by two, or at the most three, and that in turn; and let one interpret:
1Co 14:28 but if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God.
1Co 14:29 And let the prophets speak by two or three, and let the others discern.
1Co 14:30 But if a revelation be made to another sitting by, let the first keep silence.
1Co 14:31 For ye all can prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be exhorted;
1Co 14:32 and the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets;
1Co 14:33 for God is not a God of confusion, but of peace. As in all the churches of the saints,
(Whizzah whuzzah?)
