Hello World:
This is part 6 and I believe the last of this Christmas series. I explained all of the hard part in the previous post, and I hope I made it clear enough for everybody. We found out that Christmas, or December 25th is really the birthday of the Sun-God, Baal. We learned that this festival was originally to fall in line with the winter solstice date, but was moved to December 25th when Julius Caesar changed the Roman Calendar. I found more information which suggest that December 21st or 22nd is considered by many Pagans to be the day of the deceased Sun, and December 25th is considered by those same Pagans as the day of the inconquerable Sun.
It can be said that the Roman Catholic Church messed the "so called" Christmas holiday up big time. As, I pointed out God sees the Christmas tree as an abomination of idolatry. There was no celebration with gift giving for birthdays in the Jewish tradition or in the early church, according to the scriptures.
According to my research, Constantine, the emperor of Rome, who supposedly was a Christian adopted popular pagan customs, one of which was the festival of the Sun-God, in the "new" Christian religion around 321 A.D. Constantine did this to unite the Roman Empire and not to please God. So again, after Jesus' resurrection, we are looking at close to the first 300 years of true Christianity in which the Christmas custom was not practiced by Jews or Christians.
Also, I want to plug in here that, that pagan festival was not called Christmas until later on in the 4th century. The name Christmas came from again, the Roman Catholic Church which stands for Christ-Mass. It is believed that the first Christ-Mass was in the 4th century A.D. Also. Christ- Mass was used to force "ALL" Christians to practice the religion of Rome.
Supposedly, the Pope was trying to substitute a memorial for Jesus Christ death, in place of the celebration of the Sun-God. However, because both were done at the same time confusion hit many people, and people associated the Christ-Mass with the birth of Christ and not His death. Henceforth, all the pagan practices for celebrating with the tree, decorations and gifts were incorporated into Jesus' birth, and celebrated at the wrong time.
For a close to 1200 years the Catholic church had full influence over believers concerning this holiday, from between 330 A.D. to 1600 A.D. Then for close to 100 years the protestants rose up, and did not celebrate Christmas and other paganistic practices by the Catholic Church from around 1600 A.D. to 1700 A.D. estimated time frame.
In the 1700s, believers turned from God, and the influence of the Catholic church crept back into the true church, and all the Christmas traditions, no matter how "unpleasing" to God they were, were once again embraced by everyone including believers in Jesus Christ. This is were we stand today early in the 21st century, celebrating a holiday with the name of Christ, that is not even on the right date, and has nothing to do with Jesus Christ.
The Christmas holiday as is celebrated today is in honor of Nimrod. Do you think it is just a coincidence that the information I unearthed about Nimrod, and the so-accept "birthday" of Jesus comes up on the same day. Another thing, I want to point out that Nimrod has other names that He is worshipped by. I can name some here such as Zeus, Odin and Osirius. Also his wife/mother, Semeramis went by the name of Isis, Ishtar(Easter) and Ashtoreth, Madonna and many other names. The mother with child, statues and paintings are not derived from Mary and Jesus as most think, but of Semeramis holding the reincarnated baby Nimrod/Tammuz.
Semeramis is self-proclaimed as Ashtoreth, the Queen of Heaven; to which, most people knowingly and unknowingly worship her. You can read how Yahweh feels about this so-called Queen of Heaven in the book of Jeremiah chapter 7: verses 13 through 20. Also, if God says in Jeremiah 10; that you should not have a Christmas tree, why do you have five standing in your church at the alter of God behind you and around you while you preach?
Another thing, any name that has Baal as its prefix refers to Nimrod. Santa Claus is considered to be Nimrod. Think about this, Nimrod is worshipped by many people, knowingly and unknowingly, as god the father and god the son all over the world in different languages.
The way Nimrod ruled the world, and the way he related to people, from my observations, showed that this man was the most wicked man to ever walk the planet. I need to edit in here, that we know from the bible that Nimrod's grandfather, Ham had a problem. It is also believed and theorized by some, but not fully confirmed that Nimrod's father, Cush was wicked because he helped Nimrod build Ancient Babylon and helped Nimrod start his false religion.
Nimrod's mother, Semeramis, had major problems. His son, Mardon, was wicked. His family is seeded in wickedness. He knew God, and had a choice to serve God, but he chose to turn against God. This wicked man is whos birthday is celebrated on December 25th. So when you really look at it, as a believer in Jesus Christ, and knowing God's Word this is NO small innocent tradition.
Nimrod was more wicked than Hitler, Bin Laden and Saddam Hussein. If you gave Nimrod today's resources and money, he would make things that Hussein and Bin Laden have done look like child's play. Nimrod did not hurt you or damage you and then go and hide somewhere. Nimrod was a conquerer. He went out looking for you, and had the resources and backing to conquer people that oppossed him. Nimrod was a antiChrist or antiGod, or against the true God Yahweh.
After knowing this I can not look at Christmas on December the 25th the same. True believers in Jesus Christ should not look at the Christmas holiday the same either. Yahweh said we are to come out from among them, and be seperate. How can you as believers share a holiday with such a wicked person who defied God's rule. You as believers share a holiday with Santa(Satan) Claus, and this is suppose to be okay. I think not, and we as believers need to stand up and repent of this evil way.
I know some prominent ministers who know the truth, and they say well we are still going to celebrate it anyway, because it is not sin, but tradition. Yeah again, it is the tradition of men who do not serve the true God. You as ministers should know better, not to make excuses for something you know is wrong, to try to justify why you do it. Traditions are not necessarily pleasing to God. I can do alot of things that are wrong, and if someone ask me about it, make up an excuse for my sin. That is exactly what many of you ministers are doing. If it wrong to commit homosexuality, then it is wrong to celebrate a heathen holiday, while masking it like it is something good when it is not. Also, who said the Catholic Church knew what they were doing anyway. I still have them on my list for future posting. Forget about the hierarchal rules and regulations of the Catholic church. What did God, Almighty say?
Everybody listen to me carefully, especially those who are of the household of faith in Jesus Christ. If you want to celebrate the birthday of the true and real Jesus Christ, then let us as believers celebrate his birthdate in September, seperate from December 25th. It can be that simple.
I AM ALL FOR celebrating the birth of Jesus, but I want to do it the right way and at the right time. I want the world to know there is a clear difference in my God, and Santa Claus, a.k.a Nimrod/Osirus/Tammuz, etc,etc. Listen how would you like it if your birthday is in January, but everybody that you know, family and friends and associates tell you happy birthday in April, and they celebrate your birthday in April? I think you would be very upset. That would be three months later. Then you ask them what is their problem and they say, "Oh, it is okay"; or they say "we know but we just want to celebrate it in April anyways." I think you would be highly upset. However, this is exactly what we are doing to Jesus every year. It is a big deal. Again if we are seperate from the sinful world, we need to show it and act like it and get it right. Are you willing to do that for the true Jesus.
Everyday I worship Jesus and I celebrate Jesus. Jesus is not a once a year person or thing for me. So, I think we need to celebrate everything about Jesus, but again do it right. We need to get away from all the commercialism. We need to give all year around.
Another thing, children should not be given toys and other gifts only one time a year. Children or kiddies should be remembered all year long, especially the poor children and the orphans. We should remember the poor and poor families all year long.
Giving to the needy should never be limited to a certain time of the year. Jesus did not wait until a certain time of the year to heal people or save people. God, the true God does not wait until once a year to bless us. God gives good things to each of us everyday. God never stops giving, and neither should we as believers and followers in Him.

Christmas, December 25th Not Jesus Birthday Part 5
Hello World:
I am hammering away at this Christmas holiday now in part 5 of this series. As you all know I was talking about Nimrod who I got from Genesis as the mighty hunter before the Lord. In time, Nimrod became very powerful and feared throughout the whole world. Nimrod ruled out of the land of Shinar and was also known as the king of the city Babylon and was the leader of the Babylonian empire. Also, during that time Nimrod became world ruler. Nimrod created the first one world government.
Nimrod let all of his power and success get to his head, and he turned against God or did not return to the Lord, and exalted himself as God. He went on to defy the laws of God, and implemented his own laws of idolatry and self reliance. He taught men to do wickedness and live wickedly. His son Mardon was even worse and they both caused men to sin in the sight of the true God.
Nimrod was also very charismatic. He was a leader who could motivate. He was very confident and proud. He was also very cruel and vicious. God sent forth a prophecy against Nimrod and other wicked rulers that the seed of Abraham would destroy them. Well, Nimrod found out about this, and attempted to kill Abraham.
I am paraphrasing here to try to be short, but in an attempt to kill the baby, Abraham, he did not know he was deceived by Terah, Abraham's father. He, Nimrod took a baby, given to him, and smashed the baby's head on the ground. killing the baby of course, thinking it was Abraham.
Abraham escaped Nimrod and went on to grow up in the Lord and there is alot more to all of this that I just have to leave out. Anyways, one of Abraham's grandsons, Esau supposedly snuck up on Nimrod and his men, one day and chopped Nimrod's head off. There is another story that says Shem possibly killed Nimrod, but I believe the Esau story.
The story that Shem killed Nimrod could have happened though. However, when I researched Shem's information, I was unable to find any solid evidence on the Shem theory. Shem supposedly took around 72 men and invaded Nimrod's palace, and killed Nimrod, cutting him in pieces. Every source I read on this can only say that this is folklore or a story of tradition. This supposedly heroic act by Shem is not in the regular Bible or in any documents that will properly fit in with the regular Bible. Again, the Shem factor still could have happened, because Shem was born before Abraham and Nimrod, but outlived them both at age 600. However, I believe the prophecy of God concerning the seed of Abraham, and it fits with scripture why Esau was for one exhausted, and two sold his birthright to Jacob.
Also, if anyone had any chance to take down the mighty Nimrod, at that time-frame, it would have been Esau for a number of reasons. Nimrod was "nearly" unbeatable to a man. I want to point out that Nimrod was not perfect in war. After some time, he did lose a major war against Chedorlaomer, king of Elam. In that war, Nimrod's son was killed. After which, for some time, Nimrod was subject to Chedorlaomer's rule; until Abraham, with God's help, put an army together and defeated Chedorlaomer in a war to free his nephew Lot.
Although not perfect, Nimrod still was the best there was, and when he faced any kind of threat, he had his mighty men around him. Not just any character could come up to him and take him down. Esau was conditioned to be able to go up against Nimrod and his men and kill Nimrod, and he still almost did not survive. Another thing, I want to say, is that it is important to not under estimate the age of these guys back then and God working through them, no matter how old they were or how young.
So, everyone is wondering were did Christmas come into the picture with Nimrod. When Nimrod suddenly was killed, his wife/mother comes on the scene, because I want everybody to know that Nimrod got married to his own mother. Her name was Semeramis. Nimrod by marrying his mother committed an abomination of incest. By being married to Nimrod, Semeramis would retain an authoritive position in Babylon.
No one knows what happened to Cush, Semeramis husband and Nimrod's father. Cush at some point died but how and when is uncertain, and is not mentioned in the scriptures. It is believed that Shem was involved. In any event, we can believe that Semeramis married Nimrod after Cush was out of the way; because after the Tower of Babel fell, Cush is no longer mentioned anywhere. It is believed that Semeramis, being an ambitious and vain women, initiated the marriage between her and her son.
Henceforth, when Nimrod was killed, several versions came about as to how Semeramis put a spin or lie on how Nimrod actually died. One version says Semeramis said it was a wild animal that killed him. There is another version that says, She said he willingly sacrificed himself in a battle. Another version states that she claims he did not die, but was reincarnated.
In all three of those versions, Nimrod winds up deified as a god. According to Semeramis Nimrod descended wih the sun on the Winter Solstice or shortest day of the year in the northern hemisphere. This usually falls around on December 21st or 22nd. Then as the sun rose again and the days start to get longer, so did Nimrod ascended with the sun, and became reborn as the Sun-God a.k.a. Baal.
In turn, Semeramis got pregnant after Nimrod's death, and she claims that she was impregnated by the spirit of Nimrod. She called the baby Tammuz, and said that he was Nimrod reincarnated. She said that the baby Tammuz/Nimrod was now the savior for mankind. He was to save everyone from the curse of the serpent, from the garden of eden, as prophecied to Eve. Thus Nimrod became both God, and God reincarnated. All of which copies Yahweh and Jesus Christ.
Everyone was to celebrate this rebirth festival of the savior, the sun-God during the winter solstice, or on December 21st or 22nd. When the Roman Empire came into existence and ruled the known world, Julius Caesar made a calendar change. When the calendar change was done the festival of the Sun-God fell on December 25th.
To get access to the Sun-God you had to go through Semeramis. Semeramis also claimed that the Sun-God is celebrated by placing a fir tree or evergreen tree in your home, which represents everlasting life and decorating it for the Sun-God. In her case, Nimrod or Baal would return and bring gifts and place them under the tree for her, Semeramis. That sounds just like Santa Claus.
Again, all of Babylon and most parts of the world fell for this lie and celebrated this pagan festival which has nothing to do with Jesus Christ. Even moreso today, people everywhere especially Christians celebrate Christmas exactly like the Babylonans and other pagans do to which God warned against, in the scriptures, that I referenced back in part 4 of this series. Now, there is more I need to say so I will be back with part 6 on all of this.

Christmas, December 25th Not Jesus Birthday Part 4
Hello World:
Yes, I am in part 4 of my Christmas series. I did not think I was going to do a series on this subject, but almost a month back I was writing to some people about Christmas, and the Lord impressed upon me to prepare to preach and teach about the holiday here online. So, here I am again.
Scripture References; Jeremiah Chapter 10: Verse 1; "Hear ye the Word which the Lord speaketh unto you, O house of Israel:"
Verse 2; "Thus saith the Lord, learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the sign of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them."
3) "For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the ax."
4) "They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not."
5) "They are upright as the palm trees, but speak not; they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good."
Now, for all believers, when God says hear O house of Israel, if you believe in Israel's God like I do, then He is talking to you also.
Scripture Reference; 2 Corinthians 6: 17; "Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye seperate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,"
In that Corinthians reference I wanted to put in the before and after scriptures, but left the other scriptures out, because I just wanted to reference a point to believers in Jesus Christ.
Scripture Reference Genesis Chapter 10: Verse 8; "And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth."
Verse 9; "He was a mighty hunter before the Lord: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the Lord. "
Verse 10; "And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Cal'neh, in the land of Shinar."
Those scriptures from Genesis are from my Dakes King James Version Bible; and it is at that point in Genesis that Nimrod is introduced and comes on the scene as a very important figure in human history.
Awhile back the Lord drew me to look further into information on Nimrod. Because just from what you read there in Genesis is not the whole story with Nimrod. Also, further along in Genesis, you find out about the story of the tower of Babel, and how God destroyed the building of that tower which was headed up by Nimrod.
I want to try and be as brief as possible when talking about Nimrod, because I got alot of information on him. Nimrod's name in Hebrew means to rebel, or we will rebel. When I researched further into Nimrod I had to get historical information from outside the regular 66 books of the standard Bible as we know it. The information I gathered on Nimrod, does line up in agreeance and fit together with the standard Bible, just in case if anyone is concerned about that.
Also, I do not want to say exactly where I got the deeper information on Nimrod. I do want to say, I believe it to be highly credible, and other Bible scholars believe the source to be highly credible. To find the source, all a person has do is look up everything about Nimrod and I can guarantee you will find out everything I will mention.
Nimrod knew who God was. Nimrod actually had a relationship with God. Although, I consider the relationship to be shaky at best, because of Nimrod. After Noah's flood, things became very chaotic in terms of man's dominion on the planet in regards to the animals. Also, as the decendants of Noah continued to multiply there was chaos between man verses man, and some people were unlike Noah, and did things that were against God's laws.
Henceforth, God used Nimrod to hunt and kill man and beast. Also, God used Nimrod to kill animals and build alters for sacrifice. that is why it says twice in Genesis "He was a mighty hunter before the Lord." That was literally, true. He was not your regular hunter, who went out to hunt as a hobby, or to get food for his family. Him and his men did that, but Nimrod's hunting was more involved.
Hunting was Nimrod's lifestyle. He was ordained by God to go out, hunt and kick alot of butt. Nimrod conquered the enemies' of God, his own enemies, and conquered his friend's enemies. This guy was the ultimate warrior of his time, and could fight successfully at anytime in human history even today. In today's technological age of conventional and unconventional warfare he could adapt and probably would be running the show. That is just how good at hunting, fighting and war this guy was.
A tragic event happened yesterday, Thursday Dec 27th, 2007 in Pakistan, when former Prime Minister and Activist Benazir Bhuto was assassinated. I will probably say more about this at a later time, along with the other list of things that I need to talk about. It looks like I have gone long here, so I will be back with a part 5 on Christmas.

Christmas, December 25th Not Jesus Birthday Part 3
Hello World:
Well, here I go into part three of my Christmas series. As I said I am trying to keep everything here simple. I do ask that everyone make a note of the following key words Jesus, Jesus birthday, birthdate, Christmas, truth about Christmas, Nimrod, and Babylon. Please take those key words and research them.
When I say research them, I mean you really have to look into them if you are interested in knowing. Hey, remember knowledge is power. What you do not know can sometimes hurt you, and can hold you back. What I am talking about everybody needs to know.
Believe me guys, I can only hope that you all trust me on what I am saying here. Notice that I keep bringing up the name Nimrod. Nimrod is at the heart of the Christmas holiday, not Jesus, and that is where I am going with this holiday story. With what I am going to expose, is why many people in the religious world do not except Jesus as the real Messiah. Because they see believers sharing His birthday, with the birthday of the most evil or wicked man to ever live. So, it becomes confusing as to whom is the true Messiah.
Well, that is why I am here to clean all this mess up. As, the true Emissary of God, Yahweh's Emissary, I am here to tell you that Jesus Christ is the true Son of God, and He is the true Messiah or Savior; and He, the true Jesus, was "NOT" born on Dcember 25th.
As you all know I went into the possible years of Jesus birth in the last post. Now, comes the even more important part, which is the month and the day. There has also, been debates as to the month in which Jesus was born. It has been argued that Jesus could have been born in any of the twelve months of the year. However, that just could not be.
You just can not take Jesus birthday, and plug it into just any month without a very good reason. Just staying on Jesus, from remembering back when I was taught, and from my past research; I want to edit in this part, the possible times that it seems the Lord Jesus could have been born. He could have been born in the spring around April of 4 or 5 B.C.; or in 6 B.C., as I mentioned back in part 2 of this series. Also, He could have been born in the fall "around" September 29th 3 or 4 B.C.. Then Jesus could also have been born in the fall "around" early September between the 8th and 11th in 3 B.C. with a very high likelihood of September 11th. Again though, speaking on the years, the years remain debatable.
Now, based upon scientific evidence in star tracking, my research from my very own Bible, and other people who's research have confirmed my own, I really believe this truth, that Jesus was born in the evening between "estimation times" of 6pm and 8pm, and "around" September 11th, 3 B.C.
Now, again as mentioned above, the critical thing in Jesus birthday is the month. The month means more than the year and the day. Although the year and day are important too; but the month is what sets the real birth of Jesus Christ apart from the imposter Jesus Christ, or false savior. Remember in my earlier number 2 post on Christmas, I talked about the shepherds, and how what they were doing at the time, when the angel of the Lord visited them, was very important.
Well, it turns out according to the way Jews did things back then, those shepherds while watching over their flock in the open fields, would not be doing that in the winter time. In this case the winter time is "referred" back then from October, November through the spring of next year. Which means that When the angels came to the shepherds to announce Jesus birth, and they were in the fields with their flocks; Jesus could NOT have been born in the month of December. In other words, we would have to rule out the months of October, November, December, January, and February.
So, the question then comes What? Then, how in the world did December, specifically, December 25th come into the picture and into Christianity? Well, I have to say that is a very good question. I do have the answer to your question. I know many others will say, well why can we still not just celebrate Jesus Birthday on December 25th, there is nothing wrong wih that? Also, who are you, telling us all of this, ruining our holiday spirit?
Okay, well it is okay to celebrate Jesus birthday; however, technically it is wrong to celebrate it on December 25th. Also, it is a holiday spirit you have allright, but it is not the spirit of Christ, and I will explain why. Now that I have dissected Christmas to this point involving the months that are in dispute, I will come back in the next post and talk about all things Nimrod. Your Nimrod, the mighty hunter. Get ready to smile holiday spirit person.
Well, here I go into part three of my Christmas series. As I said I am trying to keep everything here simple. I do ask that everyone make a note of the following key words Jesus, Jesus birthday, birthdate, Christmas, truth about Christmas, Nimrod, and Babylon. Please take those key words and research them.
When I say research them, I mean you really have to look into them if you are interested in knowing. Hey, remember knowledge is power. What you do not know can sometimes hurt you, and can hold you back. What I am talking about everybody needs to know.
Believe me guys, I can only hope that you all trust me on what I am saying here. Notice that I keep bringing up the name Nimrod.

Christmas, December 25th Not Jesus Birthday Part 2
Hello World:
I am on my second post on Christmas. The first post was kind of an introduction as to what to expect. So, here in part two I am going into the more substantive part of the Christmas holiday. Guys and gals, I told you from the very beginning that I want to and will speak the truth. If I truly represent God then I must speak the truth. So, that is what I have to do here as well. I have to again, set the record straight about Jesus Christ birthday.
If you have access to the internet or if you are able to go to a information research center that has historical documents, please go and search the words Christmas, Jesus Christ Birthday. Also, search words like the date of Jesus Christ birth, or the real birth date of Jesus. Also, search out the words Nimrod, Babylon and Christmas.
Next I want to ask everyone to read in the Book of St. Luke; all of Chapter 2. In chapter 2, pay special attention to verses 8 through 12; which talks about what the shepherds were doing when the angel of the Lord came upon them to announce Jesus' birth. Those scriptures on shepherds are a very important piece of information.
Also, it is important to read Chapter 3 of St. Luke and Chapter 2 of St. Matthew. In St. Luke Chapter 3, and in St. Matthew chapter 2 it is important to pay attention to the rulers or governors of that time, because you can trace Jesus birth year to closely match when certain rulers ruled, like King Herod in Matthew.
Also, in St. Luke chapter 3, you can back trace years from the reign of Roman Emperor Tiberius Caesar, which at that time in his 15th year appears to be around 28 to 29 A. D. Then, if you read further in that chapter it says that Jesus was about 30 years of age at that time of 28 or 29 A.D. Now there it is important to use the word about or around. Tiberius Caesar, being the Emperor in 28 A.D., was the head or top ruler over the entire Roman Empire, and he had people structured under him ruling or in charge of the different land areas or portions of the Empire.
If you subtract 29 from 30 you get 1; which if you look at the information I gave above that would put Jesus birth in the year 1 B.C. That is not what I am subscribing to, and that is not the end of the story. The 1 B.C. birth is a possibility. I want everyone to please pay attention to the possibilities.
Now, I gathered the 1 B.C. information from one of my reference Bibles which are good. However, even in that Bible and before the reign of Tiberius Caesar, the author goes on a birth year of Jesus of 4 B.C. based on the rule of King Herod or Herod the Great, who ruled the land of Judea, in the Roman Empire, in St. Matthew. This is because King Herod or Herod the Great supposedly ruled until 4 B.C. and then died. When King Herod ruled over Judea, he was serving under Caesar Augustus, who was the head man over the entire Roman Empire before Tiberius. Now, when exactly King Herod died is not certain, as some believe He was still alive to around 1 B.C.
I need to edit in here, that King Herod or Herod the Great, who supposedly died around 4 B.C., did have sons, who were at times also called and named Herod. One of the sons, Herod Antipas, was in charge of the Galilee portion of Judea, which was a small land area of the entire Roman Empire at that time. Herod Antipas succeeded his father, and took part in the deaths of both John the Baptist and Jesus Christ. So there was more than one Herod, who had governing authority in provinces or towns of the Roman Empire. There also was a problem with keeping calendars accurate, back then. Leap years were not taken into account. So all of this factors into the possible birth year of Jesus Christ.
Counting back from 28 or 29 A.D. as I mentioned before and above, as an example, you really have to count from 29 A.D. back to 28 A.D. as 1 actual year, or if you start from 28 A.D., you count back to 27 A.D. as 1 actual year and continue going back 30 years. If you do that, you come near to 2 or 3 B.C., depending on which year, either 29 or 28, you use as a start. And again, remember in the scriptures from St. Luke Chapter 3, during the 15th year of the reign of the Roman Emperor Tiberius Caesar in 28 A.D., the book's author, Luke says in verse 23, that Jesus began to be about 30 years of age. So, this is what I am looking at when measuring back to the time or year of Jesus' birth.
Now, I have ALSO read up on scientific information that places the star of Bethlehem in the sky, in the constellation Virgo, in 3 B.C. This is the star that the wise men saw which they followed that led them to Jesus if you know the story. I am leaning with the birth year of 3 B.C., because it lines up with both the scriptures and what was happening with the stars astronomically.
I have some understanding of star tracking. Without giving away to much about me personally, I knew some astronomers, and they showed me how to back track where certain stars appeared in the night sky, back in time, many years ago. I literally saw this done. So, I know this can be done accounting for leap years with accuracy. Also, it is important to note that when the wise men came to Jesus, after following the star for some time, He was a child, and not a baby anymore. Also, the wise men, many believe were 3 of them; however, the scriptures does not say that, and gives no number there. So there could have been more than 3 wise men.
I have also researched information that gives a possibility that Jesus could have been born in 5 B.C. and 6 B.C. There is strong astronomical evidence for 6 B.C., but it contradicts the scriptures from St. Luke. What I have found, and many bible scholars agree, is that, it is debatable as to the exact year of Jesus birth year. Jesus birth year has the possibility of being anywhere between 1 B.C. to 7 B. C. With all I have just said, I still have not hit to the heart of the Christmas matter. As I go on explaining everything in regards to the truth about Christmas, I want to try to keep each post no longer than 3 pages long. So, I will stop here and come back in the next post.
I am on my second post on Christmas. The first post was kind of an introduction as to what to expect. So, here in part two I am going into the more substantive part of the Christmas holiday.

Christmas, December 25th Not Jesus Birthday Part 1
Hello World:
The very first thing I want to say is that Christmas as we know it, on December 25th is "NOT" Jesus Christ birthday. I am talking about the real Jesus Christ. I am not talking about a fake or imposter Jesus. The imposter Jesus Christ was born on December 25th. I am about to explain all of that soon. I am very glad to have made it to this point. The Lord has allowed me to get some rest, so I am going to do that, but I will be slow pacing through the week to talk about Christmas.
Remember I said the Lord told me it would be totally okay or appropriate if I posted about Christmas on Christmas day. Well, I thought about it. The Lord has given me that option and others I could take. After thinking about it overnight, I decided to post some things today on Christmas Eve. That way, I figure, I will spare my fellow Christian brothers and sisters alot of pain and heartache specifically on that day.
This is a holiday introduction here. I want to try to avoid posting on the holiday, even though the Lord said it is okay. I am not scared of what people think either. However, there are alot of people who just do not understand the truth of the matter. There are plenty of people who do not care or want to know the truth also. So, I want people to at least try to understand this part. I am not out to ruin your day or your holiday.
I know alot of dear Christians who, know the truth or have an idea about what really happened with the Christmas holiday, but they refuse to change how they celebrate or when they celebrate. The how and when, especially the when we celebrate Jesus Christ birthday makes all the difference in the world.
So far, at the rate I am currently going, it feels like I am going to have three post on this subject. I want to try to be simple as I explain everything. I will reference briefly some scriptures and other articles; however, I want to encourage everybody to look at my information that I have gathered and do your own research. Because I want to be general in some things here.
It looks like I will be on the Christmas subject all week long. Like I said above I am going to take my time and pace through this. That way I can present hopefully a clear message to everyone. So, I am starting here today on the 24th, right before Christmas, and I will continue right after Christmas, possibly closing out the weekend after the Christmas holiday.
I was taught many years ago by some pretty good teachers about December 25th. Also, I did my own research into that date. Let me say right off, I remember alot of what I was taught. when I researched the Christmas holiday, Jesus and other things and people surrounding the history of the Christmas holiday, my research confirmed what I was taught many years ago. Even though I keep saying many years ago, I say it figuratively, because I am still a young guy.
I just want to point out that it was a while ago, and what I am saying is really nothing new. You do not hear alot about what I am going to say, because a person has to do alot of research on the subject to piece everything together. I had to do some extensive research myself, but because of what I was taught awhile back, I was able to pick up on alot of things I had retained from the past. What I want to do is let this be Christmas Part 1 and stop here. Then I will come right back and generally go into my information of the holiday in the next post.

Right To Choose Final Thoughts For Now
Hello World:
This is part 13 of the morality series, after the recent "Pro-Life" topic post. In regards to women and the rape issue and in relation to choose to have an abortion, I mentioned several commandments. Those commandments came from the Old Testament and are or were Jewish laws at the time. I want to throw some questions out there at everybody. Do you honestly think that a non-Jew or anyone committing rape against a unmarried virgin will honestly abide by the rules of the law and pay up?
The rapist already broke the rules by mistreating the woman anyways. In turn, do you think a rapist even gives a care about anything God says in the Bible? Do you think that a rapist is concerned about your preaching or my preaching? The answers are no, no and no.
What would you do if someone raped your daughter and came up in your face, and told you about it and said he will pay you 50 shekels of silver? I think you would, immediately, drive a knife through his heart right where he stands. I do not even want to go into here, what I would do to avenge my daughter; because it would be very ugly. I would be much worse than alot of people.
Another thing, God will VERY, VERY much understand that any woman would not want to marry her rapist; nor the father of the daughter agreeing to offer his daughter to the rapist for marriage. To rape someone in hopes to marry them is not love, but control and misreatment.
Also, many times when a woman is in trouble, she can not cry out, especially today; because she may get her head blown off. It does not mean that just because she did not scream or yell that she agreed to it, and therefore better give birth. Again, rape is a extremely tragic thing. I am telling you by the authority of Yahweh that rape is NOT okay, and the woman does NOT have to give birth to a baby from rape. And YES, the woman's life and her choice matters.
There is no way I would trade the life of my wife, whom I have an ongoing relationship with and memories with, for the life of a potential baby. There is just no way in this lifetime or any lifetime. So, to all you ladies out there to whom may become my wife, listen up. I am not losing you to a baby in childbirth. We can talk more about that later. If you do not like it, or are afraid of what your pastor will say, then do not marry me. That is your choice. Ladies, I can guarantee you I will absolutely let you know where I am coming from and what I expect on everything in a relationship, before we get married. This issue of choosing to have an abortion is one of those things. However, believe me I will be honest with you and try to cover just about everything else I can think of so you will know what you are getting into, before day 1 even starts.
Again this is a very serious and sorrowful event to lose a wife and mother in childbirth. I will absolutely do everything in my power and being, and then more, to prevent such a tragic event from taking place.
I want to reinterate a few things that I have said in the past. It is not okay to abort babies just because you can, or it is a convenient way to get out of responsibility. Also, God will and has allowed certain things like abortion to take place; however, just because He allows it, does NOT mean that it is always okay. Just because God did not react in a way that would punish a person right away, does not mean that what the person did was right or good. You can go back and look at my example of King David, and how God waited a little before He punished David. The idea in making important decisions like abortion is to use common sense. Also, think about what God thinks about what you are doing. Think about what led you to get to that point, and ask God what He thinks about your "SPECIFIC" situation. Because again, your situation may be similar or it could be quite different from the next person.
There are alot of things that God said in the Bible about women, and servants or slaves. However, I want to make something clear about what God has said. Alot of what God said, quite often was in referring to the status quo. Alot of people want to make God appear to be anti-women or sexist and pro-slavery. Also, many people want to show scriptures from the Bible to make it seem like God contradicts Himself, and just is plain unsure or confused about being God; ALL of which I am telling you is NOT true. God does not contradict himself.
God spoke about and commanded things to be, because of our stubbornness as humans. I want to tell you all that another thing God hates or hated was when Israel came to the Prophet Samuel and demanded to be ruled by a king or human being. Before that, Israel was led and ruled directly by God, Almighty; which I just think was an awesome thing. They lived by the Word of God. They were fed by God. They were victorious in wars by God. They were blessed by many manifestations of God's goodness. However, they rejected direct rulership of Yahweh for corrupt and flawed human leadership; to which God hates.
In a perfect world there would be no killing, murder or death of ANY kind. This is what God intended. However, when Adam rebelled against God into sin, that changed the idea of no killing, murder, etc. However, God is pleased if there are no murders or killings. We ought to strive, everyday, to do what pleases God. At the same time God understands that this world, because of Adam, is not perfect; and we as human beings wind up in imperfect situations. To which, we have to make imperfect decisions to get through those imperfect situations.
Okay, women listen up very carefully. In Jewish society, especially back in Biblical times, virginity is a standard of purity. Being a virgin is a high honor. Being Pure or Purity is a characteristic that is honored by God. That is why it is a big deal to the Jews and many others. Several women, back during biblical times and even today, have really flipped out when they were forced to lose their virginity. Many women have hid themselves in shame. Some have committed suicide. They have been really shattered emotionally. It is very, very hard for most women. However, God told me to tell you, women, something.
All of you women who have been a victim of rape; God wants you to know it is not the end of the world for you. Women, if you lose your virginity, especially by rape, God knows what happened. God understands that you could not fight off the man, and you did the best thing you knew to do to save your life. You, women, who have been sexually victimized are still very honored and loved by God.
Please understand; that evil and stupid rapist did not take away the honor and love that God still has right now for you. God wants you to NOT be ashamed. The Lord told me to add this in. The Lord told me to tell you, women, who have gone through rape or ANY KIND of sexual assault, that you are still beautiful. You are still attractive and there are plenty of decent and honorable men who will want you.
Also, women just from my own observations about things, let me say that for me personally, having a girlfriend or marrying a woman that is a virgin, is not the highest priority to me. It is good if I married a virgin, but it is not the number one thing on my list. I know this is surprising to alot of people.
I know many holy people and Christians are going to immediately jump down my throat, figuratively, and say that I am sending the wrong message to young people. Well, before you quote me above, keep reading this whole post so you can get the full understanding of what I am saying.
I have other priorities I look at to a relationship, which tend to be more situational in nature, that I think are more important than if you are a virgin or not. That is what I feel from a personal view in getting into a relationship.
However, the Lord awoke me and told me to add this for everybody. Women, men and every teenager should strive to keep their virginity until they are married. Again, this is honorable. God is pleased when any person strive to keep themselves pure naturally; and keep themselves pure spiritually, which are two seperate conditions.
Please Pay attention to what I am going to say further here. Also, please do not misinterpret what I mean by what I said previously above. I AM NOT saying or mean that it is okay to have sex before marriage, again, NOT what I am saying.
I also want to point out in the book of St. Matthew; Chapter 25, verses 1 through 13; Jesus discusses a parable. In the parable, Jesus discusses that there can be virgins who are wise, and virgins who are foolish. According to the meaning of the parable, there are virgins who did not watch and were not ready for the coming of the Lord to take them into His Heavenly kingdom.
Those virgins, in the parable, missed out on everlasting life with God, just like someone who was not a virgin. Also, Jesus never did say the virgins were Christians. So, being a virgin does not make you a true believer in Jesus Christ and Yahweh. Also, being a virgin does not give you an automatic ticket or any kind of ticket to Heaven or everlasting life.
Virginity is a good symbol or a good sign of potential good. However, virginity or being a virgin does not mean saved or salvation. Virgins and non-virgins go to Heaven. Virginity or being a virgin is an action or work; and by itself, does not save your soul. Scripture Reference; Ephesians Chapter 2; Verses 8 through 9. Good works pleases God, but works by themselves saves nobody or no one.
Again, repeating what the Lord had me to say earlier, women or ladies, it is not the end of the world for you. God wants you NOT to be dictated to, oppressed or depressed by man and his ways, laws and ungodly political agendas. God does not condemn you, and He wants you to live a free from guilt, healthy, and successful life.
Okay, I want to thank the Lord for giving me all of that to say. There are other things I want to say concerning women down the road, but very soon. I felt led though to go right back into this abortion issue first. That issue in these last previous posts and this post was huge to get out. So, there are other things in relation to women I will speak about later. It really looks like I will be saying something about Christmas in the next day or so. Also, in a few previous post back I know I mispelled Christmas in my end preview, but I will keep it like it is. It seems like God just parted the RED SEA of time for me.
I have a big window, that just opened, in which I can talk about Christmas. So, I will just have to see in what length capacity I will discuss it. The Lord told me if I want, that it is totally appropriate to post on Christmas day. So, I may do that. Alot of people when they see what I have to say, will not like it all. However, the information needs to be brought out. I may even do a double post on Christmas, or post part one on Christmas, an then part two a little afterward. I have alot of information, but I am looking to try to simplify it. It could be a two parter. So, I will be back hopefully very soon.
This is part 13 of the morality series, after the recent "Pro-Life" topic post. In regards to women and the rape issue and in relation to choose to have an abortion, I mentioned several commandments. Those commandments came from the Old Testament and are or were Jewish laws at the time. I want to throw some questions out there at everybody. Do you honestly think that a non-Jew or anyone committing rape against a unmarried virgin will honestly abide by the rules of the law and pay up?
The rapist already broke the rules by mistreating the woman anyways. In turn, do you think a rapist even gives a care about anything God says in the Bible? Do you think that a rapist is concerned about your preaching or my preaching? The answers are no, no and no.
What would you do if someone raped your daughter and came up in your face, and told you about it and said he will pay you 50 shekels of silver? I think you would, immediately, drive a knife through his heart right where he stands. I do not even want to go into here, what I would do to avenge my daughter; because it would be very ugly. I would be much worse than alot of people.
Another thing, God will VERY, VERY much understand that any woman would not want to marry her rapist; nor the father of the daughter agreeing to offer his daughter to the rapist for marriage. To rape someone in hopes to marry them is not love, but control and misreatment.
Also, many times when a woman is in trouble, she can not cry out, especially today; because she may get her head blown off. It does not mean that just because she did not scream or yell that she agreed to it, and therefore better give birth. Again, rape is a extremely tragic thing. I am telling you by the authority of Yahweh that rape is NOT okay, and the woman does NOT have to give birth to a baby from rape. And YES, the woman's life and her choice matters.
There is no way I would trade the life of my wife, whom I have an ongoing relationship with and memories with, for the life of a potential baby. There is just no way in this lifetime or any lifetime. So, to all you ladies out there to whom may become my wife, listen up. I am not losing you to a baby in childbirth. We can talk more about that later. If you do not like it, or are afraid of what your pastor will say, then do not marry me. That is your choice. Ladies, I can guarantee you I will absolutely let you know where I am coming from and what I expect on everything in a relationship, before we get married. This issue of choosing to have an abortion is one of those things. However, believe me I will be honest with you and try to cover just about everything else I can think of so you will know what you are getting into, before day 1 even starts.
Again this is a very serious and sorrowful event to lose a wife and mother in childbirth. I will absolutely do everything in my power and being, and then more, to prevent such a tragic event from taking place.
I want to reinterate a few things that I have said in the past. It is not okay to abort babies just because you can, or it is a convenient way to get out of responsibility. Also, God will and has allowed certain things like abortion to take place; however, just because He allows it, does NOT mean that it is always okay. Just because God did not react in a way that would punish a person right away, does not mean that what the person did was right or good. You can go back and look at my example of King David, and how God waited a little before He punished David. The idea in making important decisions like abortion is to use common sense. Also, think about what God thinks about what you are doing. Think about what led you to get to that point, and ask God what He thinks about your "SPECIFIC" situation. Because again, your situation may be similar or it could be quite different from the next person.
There are alot of things that God said in the Bible about women, and servants or slaves. However, I want to make something clear about what God has said. Alot of what God said, quite often was in referring to the status quo. Alot of people want to make God appear to be anti-women or sexist and pro-slavery. Also, many people want to show scriptures from the Bible to make it seem like God contradicts Himself, and just is plain unsure or confused about being God; ALL of which I am telling you is NOT true. God does not contradict himself.
God spoke about and commanded things to be, because of our stubbornness as humans. I want to tell you all that another thing God hates or hated was when Israel came to the Prophet Samuel and demanded to be ruled by a king or human being. Before that, Israel was led and ruled directly by God, Almighty; which I just think was an awesome thing. They lived by the Word of God. They were fed by God. They were victorious in wars by God. They were blessed by many manifestations of God's goodness. However, they rejected direct rulership of Yahweh for corrupt and flawed human leadership; to which God hates.
In a perfect world there would be no killing, murder or death of ANY kind. This is what God intended. However, when Adam rebelled against God into sin, that changed the idea of no killing, murder, etc. However, God is pleased if there are no murders or killings. We ought to strive, everyday, to do what pleases God. At the same time God understands that this world, because of Adam, is not perfect; and we as human beings wind up in imperfect situations. To which, we have to make imperfect decisions to get through those imperfect situations.

Pro-Life, What Are You Really Saying?
Hello World:
I am picking up from where I left off last time talking about abortion, or the woman's right to choose. This is part 12 of the morality series, and I am going to put a break in the series very soon. sometime in this post I want to call out the Pro-Life people, or the Pro-lifers.
Each woman who suffered through a rape situation will possibly react differently from another. What may work for one woman may not work for the next woman. It just depends on the woman or couple. God knows this, and He understands exactly everything that is going on.
Some women have chosen to give birth despite being raped or other health issues. There are people alive today, who live very positive lives even though they were conceived in bad circumstances. Again, you as a woman or couple has to decide. There should NOT be you better do it this way or else, seeing the SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES that you as the woman had to go through. God will PERMIT; are you listening preachers? That God will PERMIT a woman or couple to have an abortion, in the case of SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES that I listed several times already. This is fair to women. This is just, and that is the kind of God I serve.
I have heard some preachers talk about being against funding for abortion on demand. They talk so one-sided, making it sound like an abortion free for all, or some kind of all you can abort buffet. That is NOT, quote "NOT" what I am saying, advocating or supporting; and that is NOT what God is for. Again, as, I previously mentioned abortion should only be done in the three situations and possibly a fourth due to certain health conditions of the baby. Those health conditions, generally speaking, would be either unmanageable, or basically would cause the baby to live through Hell. In any event the choice should be well thought out responsibly.
According to some preachers and others, not just preachers, it is perfectly okay to have that baby no matter what the circumstance. You in essence are saying and defending women getting raped. Yes, you morals and so called family values people defend rape and incest. You are saying it is okay for us men to rape women.
Some of you like to show the ugly and horrible video procedures of the abortion process to play on people's feelings, and give people guilt trips. Well, rape is ugly and horrible as well. Being battered and bruised, raped and then murdered right afterwards, are ugly and horrifying procedures as well.
Do you honestly believe that any rapist should be rewarded or his seed rewarded for such wickedness against women. All you preachers and moral conservatives listen up good. What god do you serve? The true God does NOT reward evil with good. Satan and man only does stupid mess like that. Again, you want to say it is okay for us men to rape women; then in addition to that, we as men will make a law so that we will dictate to the women what to do with their bodies and that child. Also, you women better not say or do anything about it, because "god" is with us men on this. This is a conservative controlling farce; and is insanely wicked, evil and/or brutally satanic.
Since you family value people want to preach those lies mentioned above, I am here to tell you the true God, Yahweh has sent me here to tear your lies apart. Listen I have values, but I do not claim to be perfect, I do not put on a front. I want to be fair, truthful and real. I work very hard to try not to impose any stupidity, I might have, upon someone else. You value people are not using your brains. It is not okay for man to take a woman, slap her around and beat the mess out of her, and forcefully inject his seed into her, and she just have to accept all the consequences. Again, this is not of God.
Also, you "PRO-LIFERS", you defend the death of the mother. You Pro-lifers claim that you are for life of the innocent. The mother's life is also innocent too, and her life could very well be on the line in childbirth. Basically, in some pregnancy situations it comes down to this. You all want to save lives. However, sometimes either the mother or the baby will die. In other words, SOMEBODY IS GOING TO "DIE" IN CERTAIN CHILDBIRTH SITUATIONS; NO MATTER WHAT YOU, "PRO-LIFER'S", DO OR WANT TO HAPPEN. However, you as complete strangers to other people, have the nerve to make a choice for others and force legislation down other's throats as to whom "you" choose to live, when it is "NOT" your choice to make.
Another thing, to me as God's representative, when and where the baby's life begins is not even an issue. The woman's life or mother's life is more valuable than the baby's life or fetus, during conception and development of the baby or fetus. Also, there is the incest issue where the woman would get pregnant by a relative. Again, plain and simple not of God, and should not be rewarded. Okay, to not tire everybody here I will come back with some final thoughts concerning abortion next.

Let The Preaching Begin
Hello World:
I am a little fired up this day. This is part eleven of morality. I presented several scriptures concerning situations similiar to the abortion issue. I am still talking about being pro-choice and abortion. I am about to start preaching here.
Let me say there is another scripture in Psalms that is similiar to the abortion subject and I will not mention. It is in reference to the fall of Babylon. The city of Babylon or the inhabitants therein were enemies of God. The writer of that Psalm said something gruesome about the Babylonian babies. It was so gruesome or bad until I just want to refrain from referencing it at this time. I do want to say that, that writing was only towards Babylonian babies at that time.
Now, I need to tell a story as briefly as I can. There are scriptures on everything I am about to say, but I will not menton those scriptures today. Here is the story, and you all have to kind of excuse me; because I am going to paraphrase the events and kind of blow through the story as quickly as I can. King David, one of my favorite people of the Bible, and highly beloved by God, did something really evil or very bad one time. He lusted after another man's wife. The man's name was Uriah.
In his lust, David without Uriah knowing, slept with or had sex with Uriah's wife, who's name was Bethsheba. After which, David to prevent Uriah from finding out had Uriah killed, or set Uriah up in a position where he was killed in battle. It was a planned evil plot of deception against a man who was loyal to the king and to Israel. Then David took Uriah's wife and married her.
When David committed adultery and slept with Bethsheba, she conceived or got pregnant. All of this angered God. GOD WAS VERY MUCH "NOT PLEASED" with what David had done. So, God sent His prophet Nathan to king David to give David a piece of God's mind, in other words tell David off really bad and curse David.
Now, David repented. God forgave David and accepted his repentance, but God told David that the child had to die. David was very sorrowful and even fasted, but that did not change God's mind. So, Bethsheba had the child or gave birth, but God struck that child with a sickness, and the child died.
So, in that story the point being is that God never did approve of David and Bethsheba having that baby, for all sorts of reasons, to which I want to refrain to be brief. In any event, as you preachers and pro-lifers like to call it, God took this innocent baby's life. It was not the baby's fault that David acted a fool. The baby was just the result of the fool's actions. Therefore, in God's eyes the baby had to suffer; plain and simple suffer by death.
What David did was a brutal thing. This baby was better off not being born. I want to mention that it can be determined that God allowed for at least just over nine months to pass between the time of David's actions to the judgement. God knew about the wicked actions of David from day one, and God had options on how and when He wanted to handle it.
People say these general statement that God hates abortion. Well surprise! Guess what? Anyone in their right mind hates abortion. Abortion should not be something that is loved. Having an abortion is very serious, and is not something that should be cheered, or excited over or happy about. This is common sense!
You are not saying something so big and holy by saying that God hates abortion. In fact I got news for you Mr. and Ms. or Misses values. I say Ms and Misses, because there are alot of women who fall for that EXTREME CONSERVATIVE GARBAGE. There is alot of things God hates.
Just because God hates something does not mean He does not allow it to happen. Because of our human condition and the sin nature that we are born in, many things happens to us as human beings. We suffer as humans because of the fall of Adam, and many things we do are necessary or needed to be done for our sake as human beings. However, it may not be necessarily pleasing to God. However, God understands that we have to go through certain things based upon our human nature. So, He will allow us to do certain things until we are fully perfected in Jesus Christ, and are no longer in this vulnerable state as humans.
Also, God hates the situations which leads the woman or the couple to have an abortion. The preachers do not want to talk about those situations that women go through, that would cause them to consider abortion. Lets talk about those situations. Preachers will not say that God hates rape, torture and incest. Rape, torture, incest and abortion are in a group together. Preachers will not talk about how God hates the fact that a couple is about to be ripped apart, or torn apart; because the woman is about to die in childbirth. Scripture Reference; St. Matthew 19:6...."What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder". In other words, who ever God put together as husband and wife, nobody should seperate or tear apart; that includes your unwise preaching to couples that the wife must die to have that baby. In addition, this includes that no baby should seperate that couple at birth, no matter how innocent the baby is.
In the example of a woman getting raped, do you think God loves the fact that a woman got raped? Do you think that God sees it as okay for any woman to be raped? Have you read the commandments that is throughout your entire Bible? Those commandments include what Jesus said concerning how we better treat each other rightly.
God knows that there is emotional and physical trauma each woman feels or goes through after being beaten, raped and robbed or stripped of their purity or innocents. God has given me a vision of how women suffer. So, I understand a little bit, but only because God has allowed me to. I wanted to understand that pain and suffering, and speak here in hopes that it will help. I need to stop here and pick up again right here in the next post.

So, God sent His prophet Nathan to king David to give David a piece of God's mind, in other words tell David off really bad and curse David.
Now, David repented. God forgave David and accepted his repentance, but God told David that the child had to die. David was very sorrowful and even fasted, but that did not change God's mind. So, Bethsheba had the child or gave birth, but God struck that child with a sickness, and the child died.
So, in that story the point being is that God never did approve of David and Bethsheba having that baby, for all sorts of reasons, to which I want to refrain to be brief. In any event, as you preachers and pro-lifers like to call it, God took this innocent baby's life. It was not the baby's fault that David acted a fool. The baby was just the result of the fool's actions. Therefore, in God's eyes the baby had to suffer; plain and simple suffer by death.
What David did was a brutal thing. This baby was better off not being born. I want to mention that it can be determined that God allowed for at least just over nine months to pass between the time of David's actions to the judgement. God knew about the wicked actions of David from day one, and God had options on how and when He wanted to handle it.
People say these general statement that God hates abortion. Well surprise! Guess what? Anyone in their right mind hates abortion. Abortion should not be something that is loved. Having an abortion is very serious, and is not something that should be cheered, or excited over or happy about. This is common sense!
You are not saying something so big and holy by saying that God hates abortion. In fact I got news for you Mr. and Ms. or Misses values. I say Ms and Misses, because there are alot of women who fall for that EXTREME CONSERVATIVE GARBAGE. There is alot of things God hates.
Just because God hates something does not mean He does not allow it to happen. Because of our human condition and the sin nature that we are born in, many things happens to us as human beings. We suffer as humans because of the fall of Adam, and many things we do are necessary or needed to be done for our sake as human beings. However, it may not be necessarily pleasing to God. However, God understands that we have to go through certain things based upon our human nature. So, He will allow us to do certain things until we are fully perfected in Jesus Christ, and are no longer in this vulnerable state as humans.
Also, God hates the situations which leads the woman or the couple to have an abortion. The preachers do not want to talk about those situations that women go through, that would cause them to consider abortion. Lets talk about those situations. Preachers will not say that God hates rape, torture and incest. Rape, torture, incest and abortion are in a group together. Preachers will not talk about how God hates the fact that a couple is about to be ripped apart, or torn apart; because the woman is about to die in childbirth. Scripture Reference; St. Matthew 19:6...."What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder". In other words, who ever God put together as husband and wife, nobody should seperate or tear apart; that includes your unwise preaching to couples that the wife must die to have that baby. In addition, this includes that no baby should seperate that couple at birth, no matter how innocent the baby is.
In the example of a woman getting raped, do you think God loves the fact that a woman got raped? Do you think that God sees it as okay for any woman to be raped? Have you read the commandments that is throughout your entire Bible? Those commandments include what Jesus said concerning how we better treat each other rightly.
God knows that there is emotional and physical trauma each woman feels or goes through after being beaten, raped and robbed or stripped of their purity or innocents. God has given me a vision of how women suffer. So, I understand a little bit, but only because God has allowed me to. I wanted to understand that pain and suffering, and speak here in hopes that it will help. I need to stop here and pick up again right here in the next post.

Pro-Choice/Abortion Again
Hello World:
I am at morality/immoraility part 10. Even though it has been more than a year, I am still not used to having all of this information. I want to again thank God for giving me alot to say. As you all may know I am currently hammering on the abortion issue for women. Please do not take this out of context, but as you all have seen by now, I just can not only say abortion is okay, or God hates abortion; and be done talking about it.
The way God has given this subject to me, I have to explain it in details. I have to go into the hows and whys of abortion. Alot of people do not do this, and a critical subject like this requires detailed explanations.
In the last post, I mentioned that God allowed for killing in SPECIAL SITUATIONS. I mentioned the situations, and I said that abortion falls into two of those. I also, mentioned that I had scriptures that describe situations similiar to abortion. Not exact, but similiar to.
So, what I am about to do is mention the books, chapters and verses from scripture, but not the text this time just for length reasons. If you have a Bible you can look them up. After I reference the scriptures, I will talk about why, as mentioned before, "SOME, NOT ALL ABORTIONS" are allowed by God, without punishment or retribution.
Now I am going to be very specific in talking here. There are some abortions to which God WILL PUNISH those involved. So, I am going to explain, but it is nothing different from what I said in my very first Women's Issues series awhile back.
Scripture References; Numbers Chapter 31: Verses 17-18, Deuteronomy 7:2, and Deuteronomy 13:12-15. If you read all those scriptures, which is after the Ten Commandments were given, with the "thou shalt not kill"; When Israel or the Jews was at war with other nations, and they were going in to possess land; depending on who the other country or city was, God required them to Kill the men, women and male children of the other nations.
The only persons from the other nations that the Jews was suppose to keep alive was the women virgins and female children who had not slept with a man. Those females or women would be allowed to live and become future wives of the Jews. The virgins could become wives, but not slaves. This was a law from God that Israel had to obey.
Now, in some cases where the other cities was very idolatrous, God commanded that when Israel encountered those inhabitants that they kill everybody, including the daughters as well. This is because certain people that the Israel encountered would, if allowed, influence the children of Israel to serve other gods beside Yahweh. According to Exodus chapter 22: verse 20, the penalty for idolatry was death.
So, as you can see here children were being killed. granted they were not in the womb, but you got to believe that some pregnant women in those idolatrous cities were killed with their unborn. There had to be pregnant women there. So, let me say that "seemingly innocent" lives were killed if they did not serve Yahweh. You will also find that when the Jews disobeyed God in this matter, which they did sometimes, they Israel were cursed with a plague.
Also, going back to when Israel was still in slavery in Egypt. The very last plague was the Passover; when God sent the death angel to kill all the first born in Egypt. However, all of the Jews first born were spared when they applied the blood on their doorpost as God commanded, and the death angel passed over their houses and did no harm to the Jews' children.
Again, you will say that is not abortion. However, I need to edit in here, by the true definition of the terms abort an abortion, that is indeed abortion. The killing of anybody, whether they are a baby or not, or the killing of anything alive is technically stopping the life or aborting the life of whatever was killed.
When you think about it, God did not approve of what the Egyptians did to His people, and Pharaoh not letting God's people go free as God commanded. Nor did God approve of the Midianites in the book of Numbers. In Deuteronomy God did not approve of the lifestyles of the Hittites, Girgashittes, Amorites, Canaanites, etc.
In those cities of Canaan, their children were slain, there were babies that were slain, everybody in those cities were utterly destroyed just as the scriptures read. The inhabitants of those cities had no future. So, the question to be examined is was it even better if they had not been born, than suffer God's wrath?
Sometimes God felt, and rightfully so, in those exanples of scripture that it was necessary to kill children and even babies right after they were born. Again like I said before with some of those inhabitants you got to believe there were pregnant women carrying unborn children in their womb in those places who were killed.
Also, the Lord gave me scriptures concerning the rape of a woman. Scripture references Deuteronomy 22:23-27, and 28-29. In one of the rape situations if a married woman is found to have lain or slept with a man to have sex and she cries not for help, she and the man are to be, both, stoned to death.
In another situation from the same scriptures, if a man finds a married woman in the field, street, or anywhere and force himself on her to have sex, and she cries out, but nobody comes to help her or save her, only that man should die.
Now, in a third situation of the same scriptures if a man find a virgin that is not married and lie with her and they be found, the man must pay the father a specified amount and accept the woman as his wife; if the father refused to give her to wife, the man must still pay a specific amount. To which 50 was shekels of silver.
Now everything I had just finished mentioning were commandments under the law. These are commandments other than the famous Ten, and those are not all. Also, hold on, because in that last scenario of rape it did not say if the unbetrothed or unmarried virgin cried out against the man for help. Also, it does not say if the unmarried virgin woman or lets say woman was forced with a knife to the throat, a gun to the head, beat down, drugged, or under duress because of her children being kidnapped or a relative being kidnapped to perform the sex act to which she better keep silent and not cry out. Now, the lord just sent all that by me to mention. I have to address all of that and justice for the woman. I have not started preaching yet. I had to lay the foundation for my reasoning on this issue. So, there is more on this coming up.

Pro Choice/Abortion Back On Topic
Hello World:
This is part 9 of the onging morality series. I am on the abortion issue once again. Very quickly, I want to say that I know about the missionary shootings and church shootings in the United States. I know about the Christians who were killed. I will say more about this later only as the Lord leads me.
Some preachers have preached against abortion so much in their churches that many in the congregation have become tired of hearing it. I have listened to both sides of the abortion argument. In turn, many other preachers do not even address the subject at all. Many preachers see this subject as one of the most controversial, if not the most controversial of subjects to talk about. There is fear of the churches losing support in going against the issue. Also, and most preachers do not want to admit this; that there is no clear specific direction from the bible on abortion.
Please do not misquote me here. There is nothing in the Bible that plainly addresses abortion, or says specifically, "thou shalt not abort a baby, no matter what the circumstance." Also, there is not any thing that is generally spoken of in regards to abortion. So, how do we know what is the right thing to do? The information I give on this subject, I give from what I believe I have been led of the Lord to give.
I do not go off of a court ruling, or a legal judgement handed down by man. With me it comes down to knowing how God operates. I know how God operates by going through several avenues. One avenue is seeing how God responded to SIMILIAR SITUATIONS in His Word.
Many of us have heard the commandment from the book of Exodus chapter 20: verse 13; "Thou shalt not kill." That came from God Himself. However, if you read the whole Bible, like I have done, you will find that God has killed, alot, and sponsored His people to kill in special circumstances. So, then comes the question, does God contradict Himself when He said thou shalt not kill? The answer is NO.
I have found in the scriptures that most of the time that, that commandment is to be obeyed. It is God's will that none should perish, and that there be no killing, if we live in obedience to Him, especially in regards to loving others.
However, in these SPECIAL SITUATIONS God has allowed killing to take place, unpunished; in "JUSTIFIED war, not unjust war, in self defense when your life is on the line, and in some, and I emphasize the word some, ungodly coupling, or relationship mingling that leads to conception in the woman, to which God does not approve. All those "generalized" situations I have gathered from scriptures; to which God has made an exception to allow for killing.
Now based on the scriptures I will reference, "some"abortions, and again I want to emphasize the word "some" abortions, but not all, could fall into two of those categories. I am going to explain. Before I explain, let me also, argue the fact that the self-defense situation could come down to a person's property and overall living in peace, especially after it was proven that law enforcement was no help at all.
In turn, the situation of killing in war I will argue does not always apply to countries, but individuals as well. In other words, any time you as an individual get into a physical fight with another individual or group, you as an individual are at war. Any physical conflict between two or more humans or animals is a war, and anything can happen, and has happened, including the killing or death of another, be it purposeful or accidental.
We call this a fight or assault, battery; and then aggrevated murder, or homicide. However, basically, a personal battle that you as a person are in, may not seem important to everybody else. Most everybody else do not care about your situation, as long as it is not happening to them. However, you in that predicament in which you are fighting someone, and is trying to stay alive and survive, and TRYING TO PROTECT WHAT IS YOUR's is war. It is your war or battle, and people will downplay that fact, but in reality that is what it is, and it is outside of politics. I am at a good stopping point here, so, I will come back on this soon.

Pro-Choice/Abortion Off Topic
Hello World:
Here in part 8 of morality I believe I am closing in on the target information on behalf of women in regards to choosing to have a baby. I have alot of scriptures, which I will reference briefly in the next post. However, today, I have to use this post as a set up for the details of choice and abortion and discuss an off topic here briefly.
I also want to mention that alot is going on in the world. God is still speaking to me, but I am so busy right now that I am getting a little behind on my posting. I am working my butt off, and just have alot to take care of. I want to be here a little more for the Lord, but it is hard right now.
I may not get to talk about Christmas in time before that holiday comes around. I may be late, very late. Also, I am still keeping track of what is happening in Iran, Iraq and elsewhere. I know what Hugo Chavez has tried to do. I want to discuss all of that and more, but time is not permitting me. So, it is something I am praying to God about.
I do want to say this about Christmas, and I know it is off topic in this post, but because of all the business I have to deal with now I want to say this one thing. December 25th, is "NOT" Jesus Christ birthday. Anyone that claims otherwise, or say that they met Him, Jesus, and He said to them it was "His birthday" are wrong. Again, I will try to discuss Chrismas at some point; however, it might be in January or early in 2008. At least I got that part out.
Trust me on this. A person can search the scriptures really hard and in depth, and look at historical documents, and something else I will not mention at this time, to find out the truth about Christmas. In other words, you have to do some hard research into this holiday to find out the truth. You have to really want to know the truth, about the birth of the "REAL" Jesus, and NOT the "IMPOSTER" that appears to be roaming around in the spirit telling people lies. Okay, enough of that off topic speech for now.
I am going to say alot of things in the upcoming posts, concerning women, that most ministers will not talk about, or dare touch. I am going to talk about abortion from various angles or various sides. Because God sees abortion from all sides, and He sees every side of everything.
Now, when I say what I am going to say soon, I want to note something else to everybody that is very important. The comments I post are not some free will, carefree comments. I do NOT want to ever speak anything that is contrary to what God says or does. It is never my intention to speak or go against God. I care about what God thinks. I care about what pleases God. No matter what it may "APPEAR" that I say or said, or what I do, my intentions are to please God and do good. It may not sound good or may not be the answer that YOU want to hear. Also, it may sound crazy, but again, I can guarantee YOU I want to please God.
Also, I do not wish to offend people, but sometimes I have to, even when saying perfectly common sense things. I think about what I say to people. I do care about what I say when I open my mouth, or post. I take care when I do anything that affects another person. I am saying this because you will hear me say alot of controversial things. The issue of choice and abortion is one of those things, and I will pick up on that in the next post.

Choice, Abortion and Life Re-examined
Hello World:
I am still discussing issues of morality. This would be part seven. I need to break away from Paul today, and come back to him later in another post. Also, I need to actually break away from this morality series temporarily. The reason being is that in many parts of the world during this time of the year, the Christmas holiday is about to be celebrated. I want to teach and preach the truth about the Christmas holiday. So, "maybe" after this post here, I may dive into talking about Christmas.
I just have to see how the Lord leads me. However, I think it is very important for me, as Yahweh's Emissary, to discuss what I know about that holiday. I may not say anything at this time, but at some point I feel I need to say something. I may have to talk about the Chrismas holiday right around it or just after it is over. I am very prepared and ready to say something; but again I just have to see.
Okay, I felt really led by the Lord to come back to the issue of choice and abortion, as it relates to women. this topic although I did talk about it before has been heavy on my plate to come back to for several months.
This is what the Lord was telling me about making it a go, or to say it again. I was saying yes, Lord. I was in other post topics, and every time this was in my head and on my heart; and I can just see myself heading up to this point now.
As, I mentioned a while back, women and women issues is the main reason why the Lord had me to start blogging in the first place. Specifically, if there was no women issue dealing with abortion, pro-life and pro-choice, I most likely would not be here talking. All the things I have talked about, would not be blogged by me, and no one would have heard of YahwehsEmissary. So, because of the debate on both sides of the issue I am here.
When I first heard about the issue, and particularly in the Western world, the concept of a person, in this case a woman or women, not having a choice. That is to have or not have a baby. It did not sit well with me.
This is when the Lord started dealing with me. Especially because important people who have influence got involved in making legal decisions or laws against having an abortion.
In turn, those same important persons claiming to be morally conservative, felt it was the right thing to do to preserve life. However, those same important and morally conservative folks did not have a problem going to war in Iraq, killing off innocent Iraqis. The same folks who want to fight so hard to preserve life, had no problems ignoring the genocide taking place in Darfur. Maybe because there was not enough oil over there!
Those same folks want to preach about bombing the mess out of Iran, knowing full well that in doing so, they will kill alot of innocent people in the process, and possibly cause that conflict to spread. Many of those same moral conservatives were against different-race relationships, or interracial dating, privately and in several schools; Oh!; until it reached the news and got public attention! Then afterwards they were like we are changing things, or we are not like that, and "shhhhh", "hush" "hush", "shhhhh"! That situation quickly became quiet and pushed under the rug so to speak.
Those same moral conservatives continue to spend billions to fight wars that kill people every day, but will not put in enough money and fight hard to end world hunger. The moralist do not want to really help the poor of Africa get food and clean water, and the refugees from warring nations in Africa.
How about putting billions into helping the poor and the orphanes of Asia, and South America? How about helping the poor "Christian" Palestinians get food, shelter and medicine? How about helping low income people in your own countries get a decent livable wage increase? How about you moralist taking care of the less fortunate in terms of income, housing and education, before you sign laws to give yourselves a raise and other economic incentives?
So, if you are going to be so moral and upright on one thing, you better be moral and upright on everything else. Do not act like you are so pure and righteous, wearing a clean suit and looking all prestigeous, and deep down you are a racist.
One sure way to tell if a person is a racist, even when they say they are not; ask them if, you are of another race, if you can date their daughter or son. In fact, do not even ask, just show up one day at their house for a date, and watch how the parents, and siblings react.
See, in my case I would be dating the daughter. No one knows what race I am, because I have not disclosed that. I could be Indian, Russian, European White/Caucasiod. I could be part Afghani or Tajik. I could be African or black. I could be Asian or Chinese. I could be red, blue or orange in color. So, nobody knows at this time.
A litmus test I use is we can get along in the workplace because of rules, and people can hide their true feelings and selves. However, when you get away from work, and we are in private, then how do you see me? Can I meet your family, and get along with them? Will they treat me or look at me like I am an alien from outer space. So, in any event there are people who speak against abortion "no matter what the circumstance". Yet in other moral issues; in terms of loving your neighbor, and helping the poor those same people do NOT love others or help the poor.
They claim to be so moral, and many of them are too ashamed to admit that their beliefs is founded in God. They just say I have principles; or it is the moral thing to do. Oh yeah? What or who is your foundation? If it is God, then which God are you talking about? Be specific. Speak up! What? You are tighter than a tight rope.
I am going to try not to be too mean here. You moral conservatives who are absolutely and completely against abortion for "All" reasons, and the key word is "all", may fool everybody, it seems, about your purity and morality; but you can not and never will fool God. That God being Yahweh, or the God of Abraham.
Also, some of you women who buy into that conservative control concept that it is okay for men to take away your choice to have an abortion, and anything else later on, are not being smart.
Again, I am trying really hard not to be too mean. The Lord told me not to be too hard on the conservative women here, because I was going to say something else, but I am refraining because the Lord told me to. I am going to be honest with you. I am going to pick up more on choice and abortion re-examined in the next post.
I am still discussing issues of morality. This would be part seven. I need to break away from Paul today, and come back to him later in another post. Also, I need to actually break away from this morality series temporarily. The reason being is that in many parts of the world during this time of the year, the Christmas holiday is about to be celebrated. I want to teach and preach the truth about the Christmas holiday. So, "maybe" after this post here, I may dive into talking about Christmas.
I just have to see how the Lord leads me. However, I think it is very important for me, as Yahweh's Emissary, to discuss what I know about that holiday. I may not say anything at this time, but at some point I feel I need to say something. I may have to talk about the Chrismas holiday right around it or just after it is over. I am very prepared and ready to say something; but again I just have to see.
Okay, I felt really led by the Lord to come back to the issue of choice and abortion, as it relates to women. this topic although I did talk about it before has been heavy on my plate to come back to for several months.
This is what the Lord was telling me about making it a go, or to say it again. I was saying yes, Lord. I was in other post topics, and every time this was in my head and on my heart; and I can just see myself heading up to this point now.
As, I mentioned a while back, women and women issues is the main reason why the Lord had me to start blogging in the first place. Specifically, if there was no women issue dealing with abortion, pro-life and pro-choice, I most likely would not be here talking. All the things I have talked about, would not be blogged by me, and no one would have heard of YahwehsEmissary. So, because of the debate on both sides of the issue I am here.

God's Endorsement Of Women
Hello World:
I am on part 6 of the series dealing with morality and immoraity. I am here today to tell you by God's authority, that God has given, to anointed and chosen women, the authority to speak in the church.
One of the other things I want to make mention is that some women can be more spiritual than men. This is not a gender idea or a discrimination against men. However, when Paul talked about women asking their husbands, he did not take into account who might be the more spiritual of the two in the household. Now, God has set the man to be the head of the household. However, that is different from the church.
It is for whoever will that God will chose and anoint by His Spirit. God does not always chose a man to speak His word or perform a ministering duty. God will sometimes chose a woman.
Why? Because some men, and even alot of men do not allow themselves to hear from God. Many women are better listeners than men. I, personally, find women to be better mediators for peace. Some men nowadays are not receptive to God's Spirit, and those men are that way by their choice. Men many times can have their mind on other things, other than God.
Basically some men are not as hungry for the things of God like some women can be. So, what I am saying is that men are not more spiritually perfect than women, to the point that they, as men, can only speak in the church because they are men. That is not the case.
If the women is more hungry for God, spending more time seeking God, and not being wrapped up in other things, then she as the woman will hear more and be in a position to speak for God than the man.
I thank God for women ministers. I said this before, I like to hear women speak in the church and anywhere. I know some very good women speakers in the church. I am glad God allows for that variety. Again, whoever is hearing the most from God should speak the most. If that person just happens to be a woman then so be it. Again the anointed and chosen woman of God should not be restricted or constricted. We as believers in God do not want to anger God or grieve His Spirit.
Jesus said whosoever will. That means men or women. Jesus also said ask and ye shall receive, seek and ye shall find, knock and it shall be opened unto you. So, ye and you can be either a man or a woman who seeks God for anything, which in this post example is revelation and the ability or anointing to go forth and proclaim that revelation.
So, again if it is the woman who is seeking, asking and knocking for God more than the man, then that woman deserves to receive from God what she is seeking without any legal hinderances. Jesus did not say you can seek, and I will make sure your husband finds it. Or knock, and I will open the door of information and power to your husband or the man.
He said ye shall find, and it shall be open unto you, not someone else. So, women you have equal access to God, and to speak for God in the church or anywhere just like the men. Remember whosoever will; and once again, I want to say here whosoever wants the things of God the most let that person come forth.
So, I hope this post brings comfort to women, men and the church. Even though Paul said the words that he said, that does not make him a false teacher, or antichrist, and every other dirty secret that has been uncoded about him. Nobody is perfect, not even Paul. However, let me say especially to women that Paul was a cool dude. He depended on women to help him in ministry.
If Paul saw many of the women speaking, preaching or teaching in the churches and other meeting places today, not just in the church building per say, he would be pleased. Not that you as women have to please Paul, but because you please God, and that is what matters most. Jesus would be very pleased. I have some more things to say about Paul that is seperate from the discussions here.
However, as I close this post, I want to say to women, if you strongly feel or strongly believe you are chosen of God to speak or do something in a leadership position in the church pursue that. You as women have my endorsement to speak in the church, and again, even more importantly, you must know that you have God's endorsement.

Further Explanations on Women and Paul
Hello World:
Even though I am not saying the exact words in the title, this is part 5 of my morality series. As time goes by in this series, hopefully, everyone will understand what I mean by posting the series this way.
A couple of post back, I referenced to sections of scriptures. I referenced the angels talking to the two Mary's after Jesus resurrection, and I mentioned what Paul said about women. Now in defense of women, when Jesus rose from the dead this was a very big deal. To me and many believers this is still a very big deal.
Now, when the angel gave the women the good news about Jesus to go and tell the disciples, that angel was allowing them the authority to preach. Not only preach, but to be the first to preach, what is the primary message of the gospel. The primary message of the gospel is Jesus Christ, and that He is risen from the dead to save mankind.
I can go into more detail about the primary message, but I mention this with all the details all over my blog. In regards to what the angel told the women. If God did not want women to speak in the church, He would not have had the angel tell the women what he told them about Jesus being risen.
If it was forbidden for women to speak about such big things in the church, then when the women came to the sepulchre looking for Jesus' body, tha angel would have said, shhhhh! Or He would have said, "go away, what are you doing here?" "I can not tell you", or "I can tell you, but you better keep quiet".
Also, the angel could have said, "shut up, it is illegal for women to speak in authority on this matter". "Where are the men?" "Go get some men, and let me tell them, so they can talk about this important matter"; "don't you women know the rules?" Or, "God said, get out of here, you do not need to know what is going on".
So, the angel did not say any of the above quotes. The angel let the women in on exactly what happened with Jesus, and He sent them to go speak, or preach. The women did not have to go and ask their husbands at home. The women were not scolded by God for talking about Jesus being risen. There was no coverup against the women hearing and knowing the things of God and speaking about it.
Another thing, when angels speak to people about things, they have God's endorsement. The angels do not play around. They will not say something that is not endorsed by God. The information the angel gave was authorized by God to be given to the women. Therefore the entire situation of women receiving informaton from God and speaking about it supercedes any law.
Another thing, Jesus fulfilled the law in which Paul speaks. The law could not make anyone perfect for God. However, through the birth of Christ and His sinless life and sacrifice on the cross, we can be made perfect for God. Jesus, lifted the burdens of us having to follow the law to the letter, and it is through Him that women can speak with authority in the church just as men.
Perhaps a warning to women should be taken from Paul previous words, constructively. That is in that same chapter of 1 Corinthians Chapter 14; where Paul says that God is not the author of confusion. In other words, God is about doing things in a orderly way. Sometimes, some women, not all women, can rudely jump in on a decision making process with men, without being asked or politely asking.
In the above case, you as a woman have overstepped your bounds and threatened the authority of the man. That is not right or of God. If God has given a man authority to do or say something, you have no right to rudely, I want to emphasize the word rudely, usurp that authority.
I have personally experienced this, and I know how this can be a problem and can cause strife and envy in the church as Paul said. You have no right to show up a man, or immasculate a man without a righteous cause, just to show people how smart you are, or how much more you know than the man. This is not a "show me how much smarter I am than you"competition.
Mothering advice to people all the time, especially when you are not their mother is not of God. Unless it is an emergency, or unless someone is about to die, wait again until you are asked or you ask politely to jump in. This is about doing things in order. In which case, you as a women will get your turn, and should have your turn.
Getting back to the the law of God, we DO NEED TO OBEY God's commandments, EVEN AFTER WE ACCEPT Jesus Christ. For it is more than just a confession as I have said before. It is also a lifestyle. However, even in the lifestyle of obeying the commandments no one is perfect. However, it is extremely important NOT to kill, particularly in cold blood; NOT to steal, NOT to bear false witness, honor your mother and father, etc. Jesus said if you love Him you will keep His commandments.
Part of loving God and living for God's will is obeying His commandments. I will have more to say about the commandments in a future post down the road. I want to also specify obeying God's law more than man's law, because man's law may not always line up with God's law or will, and also may not be practical for living. So, it is God's law that we should keep with great concern.
Another thing I want to say is that God has more than just ten commandments. Also, one of God's commandments is to each of, that if He gives us a message to speak or talk about to the church, the world or another person, we should obey that command. This goes for women or men.
In turn, if God has given a woman or women a message, which He has and continues to do, we as men and we as churches need to be obedient to God and let the woman or women speak. When those women speak, they are representing God. Therefore we as men and as churches, and congregations need to respect the authority God has given the women to represent Him. There is a little more I want to say on this, but this post is getting long. So, I will mention some more about why it is important for women to speak in the next post, and I want to jump into the big prize of women's issues in morality coming up I hope in the next post.
