Give Me Scripture To Keep The Passover

Greetings Brother:

Depends if you want to follow the Catholic model of the mass (multiple times a day eucharist), or the Protestant anytime communion, or the Biblical Apostolic Passover model.

The false interpretation of “often” in 1Cor 11:26 is where most give their reason for their whim days and events. They often take the word to mean any time and as much as a person, church, or pastor wants. Why is it that none of the whim days include the right day/evening on which Jesus instituted it? They will fight for the word "often" to justify their whim event, but let us use it for the Passover evening and they go stark raving mad. So we have every Sunday, first Sunday, Christmas, new years eve, Easter, weddings, baptisms, revivals, and many other whim days. To justify this they apply their false interpretation to “often.” They claim “often” cannot mean one time a year. It means many times during the year.

I refuted this many years ago with the following questions:
1) How often do you celebrate your birthday?
2) How often do you celebrate your wedding anniversary?
3) How often do you celebrate 4th of July?
4) How often do you celebrate new years?
5) How often do you celebrate Christmas?
6) How often do you celebrate Easter?
7) How often do you celebrate Valentine’s Day?
8) How often do you celebrate St. Patrick’s Day?
9) How often do you celebrate Thanksgiving?

Obviously the answers to all these proves that “often” can mean one time annually.

If you ask a Jew how often they celebrate Passover they will tell you one time a year. What is so hard to grasp that?

When Jesus observed his last annual Passover, it was on that night he gave the Church their memorial of him. He was giving the Church an annual memorial of his death on Calvary. This was to replace the old Passover. If it replaced the old Passover, then it replaced it on a specific day, on a specific evening, and in a specific month.

We have no evidence of an anytime Lord’s Supper by the early Church. They observed it on the evening of Abib 15, having prepared for it on Abib 14.

What we do find in history is the fight between Rome and the Catholics and the Eastern Asia Apostolic Churches. The fight was over the observance of Passover and Easter. In history this is called the Easter Controversy. It is also called the Quartodeciman Controversy. The argument was whether or not to observe Easter and the resurrection, or observe the Lord’s Supper on the same night the Jews observed their ancient Passover. The Asian Apostolic Churches claimed they were following the example taught to them by the Apostle John. Polycrates was a Pastor of the Asian group and he wrote that they followed the ancient practice of the Apostles. The Catholic and Nicaea monks claimed their practice of celebrating Easter came from the Apostles Peter and Paul. We know this is all false. But the fight was settled at Nicaea where 318 monks voted for Easter and no Lord’s Supper just observance of the resurrection. Oh, yes, they had a mass, but it was not the real Lord’s Supper. They voted against the annual Passover celebration and made it illegal. From that time the doctrine of “often” meaning any time has been the Roman model. It is the Protestant model. And for most Jesus Name people they are not far from their mama.

So, we have a choice, accept the work of the Nicaea monks or accept the ancient practice of the Asian and Israel Apostolic Churches.

Passover was always an annual event. It was the type and shadow of the real Passover on Calvary. The type and shadow was fulfilled on Calvary on Passover. And Paul said Jesus was our Passover (1Cor 5:7). Since this is the words of an Apostle we do not need two, three or a dozen witnesses to verify this fact. If he said it once it is the Word of God. If Christ is our Passover on what day shall we observe it? On pagan new years eve? On some whim day. On any day but the right day?

The choice is yours to make. If you can accept the Nicaea monks on this one, you can accept all their other changes also. If you reject their other changes on baptism and the trinity, why resist rejecting their Easter falsehood to replace the Lord’s Supper on Passover?

Because the Apostles were all Jewish and they were in the habit of annual Passover celebrations, there is no need for this to be a contention among them and it was not. Paul gave the Gentiles the Lord’s Supper teaching in 1Cor 11:23. I want you to notice the words of Paul that he said he delivered to them what he had received from Jesus himself (from the Lord). And he said Jesus told him “THE SAME NIGHT.” The same night Judas betrayed him and the same night he served them unleavened bread and the cup. I cannot express the importance of “THE SAME NIGHT.”

Well what was that night?

If you are honest you will admit it was Passover night.

And if you are honest, you will give up all those pagan days the Lord’s Supper is forced on people. You will no longer accept whim days and events. You will respect the day of Passover not as do the Jews, but yes, on the same day they observe their old Passover, because it was on this one day of the year, Jesus gave us his memorial, shed his blood, and became our Passover Lamb. The Jews do not want us to celebrate this on their Passover. It will remind them of the one day in eternity they rejected their Messieh.

Shall we give more respect to our annual birthdays and other annual days?

I cannot at this time give you any other reasons to observe the Passover of Jesus, than what I have given you. There is more, but until you accept this you do not need the rest. In fact it will do you no good. Even this is putting new wine in an old bottle. And it can cause you to explode on me.

Passover this year is the evening after sundown on April 7th. If you have never done it right, how about this year doing it right?

Passover begins in Jerusalem and then goes around the world. For those west of the international date line, do not go by the Gregorian calendar. Abib Passover begins in Jerusalem and ends when that day is over in Jerusalem. Those west of the international date line (180 degrees) will observe Passover on the evening of April 8th. This includes all those islands and land areas falling west between 180 and 40 degrees longitude. While it will be April 8th according to the Gregorian calendar, it will still be April 7th and Abib 15 according to the Passover Jerusalem calendar. The Catholic church knows how to mess up a beautiful annual event and make it confusing. If our days started in Jerusalem instead of out in the Pacific along the 180 degree longitude lines, this confusion would end. For those who cannot figure this out, follow my instructions and you will be in perfect harmony with the annual Passover that begins in Jerusalem.

Do not allow others to deceived you that it is on some other night. There are many perverters out there and they cease not to pervert the right ways of God. Some of these perverters read my blog and my web site and pervert the right evening on purpose to deceive others and cause them not to observe the Lord’s Passover on the right evening. They have their reward. Follow me as I follow Christ.

If you fall in with these perverters, you just as well follow the Catholic church who also has selected their own false days.

All God's children should be gathered to the Table on the evening of April 7th.

Jesus bless you more,

True Jesus Church, China

The True Jesus Church based out of China claims over a million members in over 40 countries. Supposedly it began around 1917 but I have seen no proof of this. I ran into this group in the Philippines. Most Jesus Name and Pentecostal Apostolic groups there have nothing to do with them. They are considered a cult by many. I am not sure I would go that far, but I will say they are not a true Apostolic group.

They do believe in baptism in the name of Jesus Christ (Acts 2:38), but it is not clear what their actual baptismal formula is when spoken. They do make a link to Matthew 28:19 (Father, Son, and Holy Ghost) and tie this to the use of Lord Jesus Christ. Since there is a lack of explaining this FS&HG and LJC, it remains to be seen if LJC represents the trinity of FS&HG. If it does then this group is not Oneness in its baptismal formula or its theology.

This group claims it was born out of the "Latter Rain" movement. This of itself is noteworthy because main-stream Oneness Pentecostals have never accepted many of the practices of the Latter Rain movement. The reason is simple: the Latter Rain movement was almost strictly trinitarian. It was born out of trinitarian run-amuck men and women. A check of present day Latter Rain churches and groups will reveal a wide-range of false doctrines and practices.

This group is proud that it is a Sabbath Day keeping sect. They believe all other Jesus Name groups are in great sin and evil for holding church on Sundays. This law-keeping sets them apart from all other Oneness groups except the law-keeping ones. What they teach about observing the Sabbath is all false.

They perform baptisms face down, frontwards. This is another strange difference that sets them apart.

They accept the tetragrammaton and the monk guess names of Jehovah and Yahweh.

They are hallelujah people.

They are amillennial. They do not believe in a future 1,000 year millennial reign of Jesus upon the earth.  According to their literature, the end of the world is the next major event on the prophetic charts. At this point it is not clear what their doctrine is on the antichrist, the tribulation, and the mark of the beast. I have attempted to discover if they believe in a pre-end of the world rapture, like the pre-trib secret snatch before the tribulation.

I recommend to the entire Body of Christ that they avoid this group. Just because they believe in Acts 2:38 and Oneness does not sanctify them from all their other false doctrines and teachings. We all know that the Judaizers who tried to take the early Church back under the law were defeated in Acts 15. The Judaizers who refused to be corrected by the Apostles split off and began to deceive many of the early Christians. They are the enemies of Paul and they created all kinds of division in the Galatian Churches. Paul wrote important doctrine concerning these kinds of people who go back under the law for salvation, justification, and sanctification. Until the True Jesus Church repents and comes out of its false doctrines, we should all reject it.

This group also uses grape juice for the Lord's Supper. It does not observe the Passover of Jesus on the Jewish Passover. I have not seen any literature giving a date or dates on when they observe it. They do believe in footwashing. But what good is this, if the first part of the observance is false?

Seducing Spirits 1Tim 4:1

In the latter times there will be seducing spirits.

Notice "spirits" is plural.

This means there are many demon spirits whose last day mission will be to seduce.

Seduce here does not mean a sexual act. Seduce here means "deceiving" (Strong's #4108).

The additional meaning is to "mislead."

These demon spirits will mislead millions of people. These people will be deceived by demon spirits.

The word "seduce" means to be influenced to do something that is wrong. All demonic seduction is not only wrong they are evil. There is no holiness or Godliness within them.

What Paul was telling Timothy was that in the latter times (the endtimes) many would depart from the faith. They would depart from biblical doctrine. They would be deceived, seduced, to believe lies, false doctrines, man-made theories, and even personal opinions. No greater seduction by these demon spirits is there except that a person believes a lie to be the truth. This is why the lie told to Eve by the serpent, she took to be the truth. And the Scriptures say she was beguiled and seduced (Gen 3:13, 2Cor 11:3 see Strong's #1818 "seduced").

Depart from the faith. Faith here is the one "Faith" of Ephesians 4:5. These who are deceived, beguiled, seduced, lead astray: have departed from the Scriptural interpretation of Truth and taken up a lie or lies.

What I have experienced in the past 20 years is that many are led astray by their own minds. They think they are seeking Truth when in fact they searching for it among liars, deceivers, and false teachers. They will believe lies and make these into the Truth. They set darkness for light. They receive the kingdom of darkness into their hearts and from that moment they will not be led any more by the Truth.  They have departed from it and they will never return to it.

These deceiving spirits are very smart. They know how to make us believe we have discovered something. Even when the lies are contrary to the Word of God, these men and women will accept these new self-revelations and then turn against the Truth. I have seen many men and women come to the place of birth in the Truth only to see them turn and go astray into all manner of deceptions. They have been seduced.

My lesson this Sunday will follow on this subject.

How many are like the seed that fell upon the stony place. I am seeing it all over the world. Men and women get the seed but before it can take a root, it withers and dies because these people make their hearts hard against the Truth. The seed cannot develop a root in these hearts of stone. And the seed will die.

How many men and women I have sowed the seeds of Truth to see them rejoice for a season and then see them go astray into this or that false doctrine and spiritually die.

As a Man of God I am particularly on guard against seducing spirits and doctrines of devils. I can take care of the doctrines of devils. But each of you will have to defend yourself from the seducing spirits. If you do not, you will soon leave the Truths I teach on this web site and you will slip off into the abyss and die lost.

The fact that "MANY' shall depart from the faith tells me I will see MANY of them. When I see they are no longer walking in the true doctrine but have gone off into some false doctrine, I will know these are part of the MANY.

This MANY are also those of "MANY are called but few are chosen." MANY did have a chance. But they could not and would not protect their minds from deceiving and seducing spirits.

I know many of you hate me writing like this. You want me to write smooth things, soft things, but I cannot. Do not send me emails that I do not love you. Do not send me emails that you are in the Truth when you are walking in lies and following false doctrines and false prophets.

Only those who remain in the Truths I preach will NOT BE DECEIVED.

I am on guard.

Home

I arrive this morning back in the US after my missionary trip to the Philippines. I will be sending out a mission report to those on my email list. I appreciate all those who used their prayer power on my behalf. Also for those who gave mission money to help pay for this trip and the travel expenses. Thanks to three of you our Bible School students now have new Bibles. The power of the Holy Ghost was upon me. The true doctrine of the Apostles was preached and taught. The fruit of this harvest will come forth. This fruit some of you will be part of when rewards are given at the Throne. I love you all in Jesus Name, the name above every name.

DIe That Way

Resist the truth, then die that way.
Pervert the truth, then die that way.
Fight the truth, then die that way.
Many are dying cut off from God.
When Jesus said to shake off the dust, he was saying let them die in the condition of their rebellion.
Resisting, opposing, fighting, perverting, rebelling against the truth will damn your soul. I am willing to let you die that way.
You love the truth your mouth will speak it. From the heart the mouth will speak.
I thank God for the men and women who love the truth preached here. The rest, they can die in their way of Cain; their way of Balaam; their way of Judas; their way of backsliding wickedness.
Die that way!

Replacement Theology

Is the New Testament Church as founded on the day of Pentecost the only salvation for Jews and Gentiles?
As it relates to salvation: did the Church replace the Temple?
As it relates to worship of God: is the worship in the New Testament Church the only valid place where Jews and Gentiles can worship in Spirit and in Truth?
As it relates to the Old Testament priesthood: did the New Testament priesthood replace it?
As it relates to blood sacrifices: did the sacrifice of Jesus replace all animal sacrifices forever?
As it relates to the high priesthood of the law: did the high priesthood of Jesus replace that of the law?
As it relates to the Old Covenant: did the New Covenant replace it?
As it relates to Jew and Gentile Paul said there is now no difference (Rom 10:12). Must Jew and Gentile receive and believe upon Jesus Christ for salvation?
As it relates to the promises of Abraham: did many Jews forfeit these promises by rejecting Jesus, and did many Gentiles become joint heirs by receiving Christ as their Savior?

While the pre-tribbers continue to claim those who believe in replacement theology hate Jews: this is nothing but lies spread by men such as Hal Lindsey. The fact is, there is no salvation for any Jew apart from Calvary Judaism. Peter settled this in Acts 2:38-40. If any Jew wants God and wants the mercy of God, they must come to Jesus. If they do not they will die in their sins. That is something Hal Lindsey will not change by accusing those who believe this of hating Jews. In fact, we love the Jews and want them to be saved and will tell them the truth. It is men like Hal Lindsey who tell Jews they can reject Jesus, practice the law, and they will be saved by the promises of Abraham. This is a lie and Mr. Lindsey should be ashamed of himself.
___________________

The issue of replacement theology for me began back around 1972 when I first learned the dispensational pre-tribulation rapture was a hoax. Not only was the time of the rapture false, the whole purpose for a quick secret snatch was false. I can remember so well suckered into the falsehood that God the Son had to get his Bride off the scene so God the Father could turn back to his wife Israel. Yes, I was suckered. Men who knew the ropes of the pre-trib rapture doctrine were very equipped with their Scofield Bibles to impregnate minds with falsehoods. I was one of those whose mind has been tampered with. The dispensational prophecy teachers were very good at mind manipulation. They were so good at it, they could teach their nonsense and make you feel like you got a revelation from God all on your own. I was convinced that my belief in the pre-tribulation rapture was a revelation I got from God. This personalized the false doctrine in such a way I had to deny God ever gave that mess to me. And to deny God gave it to me was the same almost as me denying there was a God. The pre-trib doctrine had a grip on my mind where each time I saw something false, I had to grapple with other aspects of the rapture. And not able to reconcile all the contradictions I would relapse back into dispensational pre-trib rapture thinking.

But then all on my own I discovered Ephesias 2:14. In all my pre-trib brainwashing I had never been told that Calvary demolished the middle wall between Jews and Gentiles. In fact I had been told there would always be a separation between Jews and Gentiles. Jews would always be the chosen people of God and Gentiles were not and never could be the chosen people of God. At best, Gentiles had to accept their status as being separate from the Jews. Gentiles had to always praise, worship, look up to Jews while they considered themselves the off-scouring of the nations who would be privileged to become the bride of the Son of God if they accepted Jesus as their personal Savior.

Somewhere in all this pre-trib mess I had to deal with the falsehood of two persons of the trinity who each would have their wife/bride. I could not rationalize or accept the trinity like this. And for God the Father to have his wife Israel and God the Son to have his wife the Gentile church, was just over the top. When I asked about God the Holy Spirit and his wife, I remember someone telling me the Holy Spirit was a monk and would never have a wife. Of course this was funny and I have repeated it many times over the years.

It was at this time I learned about dual-covenant theology. That while God the Son was working out his salvation of the Gentiles by the New Covenant, God the Father was still working out the salvation of the Jews according to the Old Covenant and Daniel's 70th week. So, in the trinitarians scheme, there were two covenants in operation at the same time. At some point in all this I discovered that dual covenant theology was the antithesis of replacement theology. At first I did not label New Covenant Judaism as replacement theology. I did not use the term replacement until after I was accused of hating Jews and trying to take from them their divine right as the exclusive chosen people of God by claiming Gentiles were spiritual Jews. By claiming Gentiles could be Jews by conversion according to Romans 2:29, was something dispensational pre-tribbers and law-keeping Messianic Jews hated. So, I suffered a lot of hate and continue to get hate emails over this issue.

Indeed there are several different doctrines on replacement theology. Some of them have most of the truth within them, and some are distorted to the point of antisemitism. Many who hate Jews will use replacement theology as a cover for what they believe is a legitimate reason to teach Jews are totally rejected and can never be saved. These false uses of replacement theology are the ones often used by dispensational pre-tribbers and law-keeping Jews to scream and yell and make out-landish accusations against all of us who believe in the New Testament doctrine of replacement theology.

Let me be clear here: In the New Covenant there is no special race class of Jew or Gentile when it comes to salvation availability. No Jew and no Gentile can claim they alone are the ones who can be saved. Christian salvation began among the Jews on the day of Pentecost and Gentiles were added later on in Acts 8 and 10. Salvation by Jesus Christ is open to all nations, tribes, kindreds, and tongues. No one is placed in a class position above another. We all stand equal at the foot of the Cross. We do not hold race to have any merit, our hope and confidence is in grace and not race. So, in the New Covenant, being a Jew or a Gentile is not the deciding factor of who God loves.  The way I see it in Ephesians 2:14-16 there is a new man, a new creation, where there is no Jewish ethnicity or a Gentile ethnicity. It is this one new man that both Jew and Gentile must come into creation. This is the new Jew. The inward spiritual Jew. The spiritual Jew both Jews and Gentiles must become. The new Jewish man replaces the old Jew and the new man replaces the old Gentile. In the eyes of God there is then no Jew or Gentile class wars where Jews can continue to claim being the exclusive people of God and Gentiles are allowed in the back door if they will become Noahides and law-keepers.

Here there is a war: law-keepers holding on to that on the Old Covenant side of the wall, demanding Gentiles to keep the law, males be circumcised, wearing all the law ornaments, fringes, head-coverings: dietary rules and celebration of new moons, the sabbath, feast days, and other Jewish customs. Then on the other side of the Old Testament law wall are the Gentiles who believe in Jesus Christ according to Acts 2:38. So many keep the Law walls up and do not tear it down. The cut a hole in the wall to usher Gentiles back past Calvary into Old Testament religion.

I could not grasp this when I first visited a law-keeping Sabbath Apostolic church in 1970. All I heard for almost two straight hours that Saturday afternoon was "obey God and keep his Commandments." In over two hours I never heard anything about faith in Jesus Christ, faith in the finished work of Calvary, or salvation by grace. I was at that time in my life trying to find the balance of my faith. I could not then or now see that by law-keeping my faith was perfected or my faith was made better. I could not see how law-keeping added anything to Calvary. I reasoned that if my salvation was based on law-keeping and not Calvary, Jesus was was dead in vain and not needed at all. This was Paul's same conclusion in the first chapter of Galatians.

As I saw more and more lies and falsehoods in the dispensational pre-trib rapture doctrine, I began to hold a new Bible in my hands. When the Scofield and Larkin glasses came off, I was able to see the Word of God in its simplicity. I was so shocked at the enormity of the falsehood within the rapture doctrine hoax. I can remember how for days and weeks I would read my Bible every night and verses leaped out at me to show me how Jews and Gentiles were one in Christ and not two. I could see a new picture developing of the Church. It was not a Gentile bride as I had been lied to. The kingdom had not been postponed and delayed as I had been lied to. The whole lie that God the Father reserved the 70th week of Daniel off the Cross so he could use law-keeping and a rebuilt temple to get Jews and Israel back, was now exposed. The 70th week was not future it had been fulfilled. I new thing happened.

I saw the Church as Kingdom Judaism. It was a remnant Judaism. It was New Testament Judaism. The only valid existing Judaism right now. Sinai Judaism is no more. Law-keeping remnant Judaism is no more. I saw the new Israel of God under the Lordship of Jesus and he replaced the Old Testament system of law keeping with a New Covenant.

No, the Jews were not replaced as to a people, their religious system had been replaced. Their nation had been replaced. The Temple had been replaced. The Sacrifice system had been replaced. The High priesthood had been replaced. This means all Jews must be born again and come into the Kingdom of God or they would have no connection to God at all (John 3:3-5). If they rejected to come into the Kingdom they would all perish. And if they chose to remain in unbelief they would remain cut out of the olive tree as dead branches. I then saw how Gentiles replaced cut off Jews and were added in where they were cut off.

Jews today who refuse to accept the New Covenant alone for their salvation and hope will die lost. There is no salvation for them except Acts 2:38. They do not have a special deal worked out where they can remain Christ haters and still be saved. They cannot remain in antichrist doctrines of denying the Father and the Son. They cannot continue to claim Jesus Christ has not come in the flesh and be saved.

They must come into the New Testament Church.

Replacement theology is a Biblical fact.
