Re: Scripture of the Day
SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY – [Wednesday]
This is the end of the matter; all hath been heard: fear God, and keep his commandments; for this is the whole duty of man. Ecclesiastes 12:13.
Yes, it is imperative to keep the commandments of Almighty God (YHWH) as this is the whole duty of man, but today many are seeking to override this duty on the basis of so called life style. However, this is no justification for doing wrong in violation of the specific commandments of Almighty God (YHWH) given at Romans 1:19-28 and many other places in the Bible.
To wit, In the beginning, Almighty God (YHWH), said at Genesis 2:23-24, “And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. 24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.” And so it has been for many thousands of years, but now in the time of the culmination of the end times as prophesized at 2 Timothy 4:1-6, many are straying from Almighty God’s (YHWH’s) and supporting activities directly in contradiction to Almighty God’s (YHWH’s) commandments; to wit, they are now even supporting same sex marriages, living together without being married, and other wrong practices. They justify these wrongs by saying it is just a different life style, but of course they fail to mention it is a wrong life style, and that their arguments could also be used to justify pedophilism, bestiality, and other acts against the The Inspired Word of Almighty God (YHWH), the Bible.

Re: Scripture of the Day
SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY – [Thursday}
“And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. 24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.” Genesis 2:23-24, (Authorized King James Bible; AV).
And so it has been for many thousands of years, but now in the time of the culmination of the end times as prophesized at 2 Timothy 4:1-6, “This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. 6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,” (American Standard Version; ASV). Now, in the last twelve years, men of inequity are trying to change what Almighty God (YHWH) intended and promoting the evil idea that marriage should not only be a union between male and female, but unions between individuals of the SAME sex although this is against Almighty God’s (YHWH’s) intended purpose as clearly shown by Romans 1:25-28, “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 natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. 28 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;” (AV). In addition, some workers of inequity also claim that Almighty God (YHWH) is only the God of Christians or Jews, but in reality he is the only true God of all people and all other gods be they men, idols, or myths only exist in the minds of men.

Re: Scripture of the Day
SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY – [Friday}
have ye not known that the unrighteous the reign of God shall not inherit? be not led astray; neither whoremongers, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor sodomites, 1 Corinthians 6:9 (Youngs Literal Translation: YLT)
We should accept the Bible as our moral compass, and NOT our own reasoning’s even if prominent individuals do. But we should not act violently against those who fail to be guided by the Bible. As
Leviticus 19:18 [New World Translation Revised; NWTr] says, “‘You must not take vengeance nor have a grudge against the sons of your people; and you must love your fellow as yourself. I am Jehovah.” This clearly shows that we should love the wrong doer and Jesus (Yeshua) Said at Matthew 22:37-40, [NWTr] “He said to him: “‘You must love Jehovah your God with your whole heart and with your whole soul and with your whole mind.’ 38 This is the greatest and first commandment. 39 The second, like it, is this, ‘You must love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 On these two commandments the whole Law hangs, and the Prophets.” This clearly shows that we should hate the wrong, but NOT the wrong doer. Persecution of others on the basis of their wrong doing is totally unacceptable and not in keeping with the Inspired Word of Almighty God (YHWH), the Bible. All should seek to turn the wrong doer from his sinful ways and into righteous ways.

Re: Scripture of the Day
SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY – [Saturday]
But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. 15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. 16 Do not err, my beloved brethren. James 1:13 – 15 [authorized King James Bible; AV]
In order to live a chaste Almighty God (YHWH) approved life , we must reject immoral desires, and accept the Holy Bible, Almighty God (YHWH)written word as a MORAL COMPASS. Just as a baited hook may attract a fish, so immoral thoughts and lewd desires, when not immediately dismissed, may begin to draw out and entice a genuine true follower of Jesus (Yeshua). They can appeal to our fallen flesh and lead us toward immoral acts. In time, the allure of sin may become so great that the unclean desire becomes fertile.
It is sobering to reflect on how a momentary desire can develop into a serious sin. But how encouraging it is to know that if we can prevent unclean desires from taking root, as shown at Galations 5:16, “This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.” [AV], we can avoid getting drawn into serious sin.

Re: Scripture of the Day
SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY – [Sunday]
But the wisdom that is from above, first indeed is chaste, then peaceable, modest, easy to be persuaded, consenting to the good, full of mercy and good fruits, without judging, without dissimulation. James 3:17 (Douay Rheims Catholic Bible: DRCB)
Almighty God (YHWH)can give us answers to our prayers for help by means of what is written in his word, the Bible. This wisdom in the Bible as shown at James 3:17, is first of pure, and can enable us to remove bad thoughts from our mind by meditation on what we read in his written word as shown by Psalms 19:7 – 11, “(18-8) [actual numbering in the Catholic Bible parts slightly from other Bibles] The law of the Lord is unspotted, converting souls: the testimony of the Lord is faithful, giving wisdom to little ones. 8 (18-9) The justices of the Lord are right, rejoicing earts: the commandment of the Lord is lightsome, enlightening the eyes. 9 (18-10) The fear of the Lord is holy, enduring for ever and ever: the judgments of the Lord are true, justified in themselves. 10 (18-11) More to be desired than gold and many precious stones: and sweeter than honey and the honeycomb. 11 (18-12) For thy servant keepeth them, and in keeping them there is a great reward.” (DRCB), and Psalms 119:9 – 11, “(118-9) By what doth a young man correct his way? by observing thy words. 10 ¶ (118-10) With my whole heart have I sought after thee: let me not stray from thy commandments. 11 ¶ (118-11) Thy words have I hidden in my heart, that I may not sin against thee.” (DRCB). Additionally, the Bible contains examples and specific counsel that can help us to avoid falling victim to unclean desires.

Re: Scripture of the Day
SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY – [Monday]
Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband. 3 Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband. 4 The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife. 5 Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency. 1 Corinthians 7:2 – 5 [authorized King James Bible; AV]
Let Almighty God (YHWH)written word for our guidance in this difficult time of moral breakdown, in the conclusion of the end times, be your Moral Compas. As is written at James 4:8 [AV], “Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.”
Moral cleanliness is not a popular virtue at this time. But the Bible is clear on that as shown by 1 Thessalonians 4:3 – 5 [AV], “For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication: 4 That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour; 5 Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God”; This is particularly true in our trying time. In many lands, homosexuality and sex outside of marriage are viewed as normal, but Almighty God (YHWH), however, does NOT share these views as highlighted by what He had the Apostle Paul write at Romans 1:19 – 28 [AV], “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: Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. 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. 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 natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. 28 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;” [AV]; and Ephesians 5:5 further conforms this fact, “For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.” [AV]; and Jude 7 says, “Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. [AV]. These in-moral lifestyles are even promoted in advertising and entertainment. (Ps. 12:8) Immorality has become so pervasive that you may wonder, ‘Is it really possible to live a chaste life?’ Our confident reply is, Yes, with Jehovah’s help, true Christians can remain chaste.
Genuine true followers of Jesus (Yeshua) know that even deeply rooted wrong desires, including those that may have a genetic basis or that involve physical causes or environmental factors, are not insurmountable for persons who truly want to please Almighty God (YHWH). Some people are by nature highly emotional. Perhaps in the past they gave free rein to fits of anger; but knowledge of God’s will, the desire to please him, and the help of his spirit enable them to develop self-control. A person may be an alcoholic, but, with proper motivation, he can refrain from drinking and thus avoid becoming a drunkard. Likewise, a person may feel strongly attracted to others of the same sex, but by heeding the counsel of God’s Word he can remain clean from homosexual practices. AS Ephesians 4:17 – 24, “This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind, 18 Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart: 19 Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness. 20 But ye have not so learned Christ; 21 If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus: 22 That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; 23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; 24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.” [AV]. Almighty God (YHWH) does not allow us to go on thinking that wrong conduct really makes no difference; he kindly but firmly warns us of the consequences and provides abundant help for those who want to “strip off the old personality with its practices, and clothe [themselves] with the new personality.”—Col. 3:9, 10.

Re: Scripture of the Day
SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY – [Tuesday]
Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law. 9 For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 10 Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law. Romans 13:8 – 10 [authorized King James Bible; AV]
It is most important to have love for your neighbor, and to treat him as you would want to be treated. This righteous principle is highlighted at Matthew 7:12, [AV], “Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.” However, members of false religions do JUST THE OPPOSITE. Take for example, the false religious cult of Islam, it has been very violent against others and shows them no love. This was clearly highlighted in the South Florida Weekender on August 21, 2015, in Volume 7, Number 34, on page 7, as follows, “The cult followers of Muhammad have killed 270 million people in 1,400 years. That’s 528 people per day and 22 people an hour (approx.) The causalities of Islam are nine times more than of Stalin and Hitler COMBINED.” No love of neighbor shown here. And the The Weekend Australian, November 26-27, 2005 said, “The lust for violence that many members of Islam have that is responsible for 90 to 95% of the violence in the world today.” In fact this cult is so rabid racist that one of their apologist (Iftikhar) even said, “There is no place for a none Muslim in a state supported Muslim school.” Galatians 6:9 – 10, [AV], “And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. 10 As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.” Which is the EXACT opposite practiced by Islam.

SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY – [Wednesday]
Insomuch that the multitude wondered, when they saw the dumb to speak, the maimed to be whole, the lame to walk, and the blind to see: and they glorified the God of Israel. Matthew 15:31 [authorized King James Bible; AV]
Yet,to perform such acts of compassion, Jesus (Yeshua) needed no organ donors for transplants. He healed the very organs or body parts that were afflicted! On the spot. Sometimes even from a distance as shown at John 4:46 – 54 [AV] “So Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum. 47 When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judaea into Galilee, he went unto him, and besought him that he would come down, and heal his son: for he was at the point of death. 48 Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe. 49 The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die. 50 Jesus saith unto him, Go thy way; thy son liveth. And the man believed the word that Jesus had spoken unto him, and he went his way 51 And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and told him, saying, Thy son liveth. 52 Then enquired he of them the hour when he began to amend. And they said unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him. 53 So the father knew that it was at the same hour, in the which Jesus said unto him, Thy son liveth: and himself believed, and his whole house.
54 This is again the second miracle that Jesus did, when he was come out of Judaea into Galilee.” What do these amazing examples show? That Jesus (Yeshua), now enthroned as heavenly King, has not only the power but also the desire to bring about permanent healing, but a strong desire to do so. Learning about the way Jesus (Yeshua) treated people gives us confidence that during his 1,000 year kingdom reign, he will do so.

Re: Scripture of the Day
SCRIPTURE OF THE DAY – [Thursday]
Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights were with the sons of men. Proberbs 8:31 [authorized King James Bible; AV]
Almighty God’s (YHWH’s), firstborn Son was the earliest and most complete expression of Almighty God’s (YHWH’s), unfathomable wisdom. He was wisdom personified, “a master worker” alongside his Father for countless eons. We can only imagine the joy and satisfaction that he experienced as his Father “prepared the heavens” and “established the foundations of the earth.” However, though appreciating these inanimate things, God’s firstborn Son, “The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old. 23 I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was. 24 When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water. 25 Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth: 26 While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world. 27 When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth: 28 When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep: 29 When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth: 30 Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him;” (Prov. 8:22 – 30, [AV]). Yes, Jesus has a fondness, or tender affection, for mankind that stretches back to his pre-human existence as stated in the led scripture..
Later, as proof of his loyalty and love for his Father, as well as of his deep love for “the sons of men,” God’s Firstborn willingly, per Matthew 20:28, [AV] “ Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.” And, this reality existed, “Keep on fostering the same disposition that Christ Jesus had. 6 Though He was existing in the nature of God, He did not think His being on an equality with God a thing to be selfishly grasped, 7 but He laid it aside, as He took on the nature of a slave and became like other men. 8 Because He was recognized as a man, in reality as well as in outward form, He finally humiliated Himself in obedience so as to die, even to die on a cross.emptied himself” (Philippians 2:5 – 8, Williams Bible). What love he has for the human family! While Jesus was on earth, God empowered him to perform miracles that revealed how much he loved people. Jesus thus demonstrated the kind of marvelous things that will soon take place earth wide during his 1,000 year kingdom rule.
