I am lucky enough to have some very good Messianic friends in Jerusalem and we are coming to knowledge that our Lord wants us to comprehend.... we come from the same root and Yeshua's plan is for us to come together as His Bride. We are learning from each other and it is such a blessing!Pam Kohlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00678673505358164380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-367019700923216960.post-4703813495268913492012-07-07T23:23:57.067-05:002012-07-07T23:23:57.067-05:00Hi, I'm anonymous from the last comment, and L...Hi, I'm anonymous from the last comment, and Lisa T from the recent one about my pastor asking me to stop scaring people with talk about the end times.<br /><br />I learned in church years ago, when very young, that Saturday was the real sabbath and it was changed by Constantine. When you're at the age I was, you just accept what you're told - that we observe sabbath on Sunday now and that's just the way it is. Years later, I would sometimes wish there was a church in my town that did observe the sabbath on Saturday, because apparently God didn't change it and no one else had the right to.<br /><br />A few years ago, my sister-in-law said someone noticed her necklace which was a cross on a star of David, and told her about a Messianic congregation in town that had free Hebrew classes. I was already learning Hebrew on my own and jumped at the chance to learn in a class for free. To make a long story short, we now attend this congregation, and have learned so much about the Jewish roots of Christianity. At first I was vehemently against any notion of following the laws of God, thought the idea was heretical. But the more we studied, we found that there are different ways to interpret the verses that we thought did away with the law, and now it does appear that we ARE supposed to obey the law. The Bible makes more sense to us now in so many ways.<br /><br />If you're thinking about going to a Messianic church, be careful though because there are some groups that are way off base, including the "sacred name" movement. <br /><br />I will pray for you to learn what God wants for you to learn.Lisa Tnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-367019700923216960.post-72779447551801653752012-06-08T10:40:24.178-05:002012-06-08T10:40:24.178-05:00You most definitely have my prayers!

But it is SO pleasing to God when you follow through on some thought he has put into your head. I am really looking forward to your website! We need more places that people can go to re-connect to the God of the Universe.

I went to a small Baptist Church in Apalachicola, Florida the Sundaay after I finished reading Saturday evening. The pastor opened the service with a prayer and the Pledge of Allegiance and his sermon was from Revelation 19 about end times and America turning from God. It was chilling. In fact I am getting chills writing this. I have been working on a prayer project for 8 years. I know now what God has called me to do concerning prayer and America returning to God. I will be launching my website July 4th, 2012 and I will be sending you a link. Please be prayerful as God leads me through this time. <br /><br />Pray without ceasing asking God to Bless America.<br /><br />philc, nashville,tnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-367019700923216960.post-49198188708185280092012-05-27T12:25:17.294-05:002012-05-27T12:25:17.294-05:00To be honest with you, I have struggled with this ...To be honest with you, I have struggled with this myself. I cannot find in Scripture where it specifically says that Sunday is the day for worship. The early Church, which was largely Jewish, met on the Sabbath, which was Saturday. This is attested to throughout the Book of Acts (Acts 13:13-14; Acts 17:2). Then, through Paul's ministry, Gentiles became part of the early Church. Some Christians believe the early church began meeting on Sundays soon after Christ rose from the dead, in honor of the Lord's resurrection, which took place on a Sunday, or the first day of the week. But where did that designation come from? I am increasingly convinced that this was due to the Hellenization of the world through Greek influence, and then as you say, the Romans. The Spirit is also telling me to adhere strictly to the words of the Bible --- do not add or take away. For me, that means gaining knowledge about what God imparted to the Jews; they are the roots of our faith, and I am feeling a longing to uncover the true interpretation of Scripture. I'm not sure if I answered your question, but I can tell that we are sharing the same desire to know God's heart.Pam Kohlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00678673505358164380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-367019700923216960.post-10030352838137685362012-05-27T01:38:48.699-05:002012-05-27T01:38:48.699-05:00I have a question for you, that I mean in the frie...I have a question for you, that I mean in the friendliest of ways possible: Can you find anywhere in scripture that says Sundays are for worshiping?<br /><br />Of course, we all know that the original sabbath was on Saturday, and most of us know that it was changed to Sunday sometime after Jesus's resurrection. We've been told that the scripture that talks about not judging other believers in respect to holy days, etc. is telling us we can say any day we want to say is the sabbath.<br /><br />What I didn't realize for most of my life was that since God said to keep the sixth day as a sabbath, the Jews have been keeping track of the days of the week ever since then. So we do know which day is the sixth, and that's the day God said to keep. As we all know, God didn't change it in the New Testament; it was changed by a Roman emperor to satisfy the pagans. Aren't we supposed to obey God rather than men? Just food for thought!<br /><br />Thank you for your great blog!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-367019700923216960.post-53536773807659612352012-04-04T10:36:39.824-05:002012-04-04T10:36:39.824-05:00AMEN!AMEN!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-367019700923216960.post-77974036693401552942012-04-03T10:07:13.594-05:002012-04-03T10:07:13.594-05:00Ohhh...Belmont....that explains a lot about the &q...Ohhh...Belmont....that explains a lot about the "liberal minded" part of your original email. I have some very dear young people in my life who attended Belmont for one year, but had to make the decision to leave after finding out the culture just did not jive with their Christian beliefs. I was so proud of them that they decided to attend a different college that supported a Christian belief system. I, too, believe that we are in the endtimes. The apostate Church is alive and well, and false teaching abounds. I fear for this younger generation that will fall away because they are too willing to buy into what their professors and the PC culture tells them is right.

We have been remodeling my wifes mothers house to lease to a young couple and were watching Cornerstone on tv on Sunday mornings to supplement our missing church. We attend a SBC planter church that meets in a bar/ restaurant and has a lot of Belmont and Vanderbilt students, several young couples and some sage couples like my wife and I. Our small group is a mix that is why I caution at bringing this subject up. I firmly believe we are in the endtimes and we are seeing biblical prophecies being played out. This is why we prep and prepare.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-367019700923216960.post-52440561466158872192012-04-02T13:06:50.810-05:002012-04-02T13:06:50.810-05:00You have a great pastor!

Too often our churches spread the Gospel of Grace, and completely ignore that the Gospel of the Kingdom includes Judgment, as well. If the Church is to survive what Satan has planned for us, then we MUST pay attention to ALL the Scripture and heed the warnings. There are some great videos on Youtube of Rabbi Cahn explaining his book and the harbingers, according to Scripture. We have watched them in our small group, and they might be something to consider for your group.Pam Kohlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00678673505358164380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-367019700923216960.post-79116431939610399652012-04-02T10:27:25.528-05:002012-04-02T10:27:25.528-05:00Pastor Maury Davis of Cornerstone Church here in N...Pastor Maury Davis of Cornerstone Church here in Nashville just did a month long series on this topic.
