[a roaring lion]

The enemies of GOD

1 PETER 5[8] Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking
whom  he may devour:

Theres one of Gods enemies-the devil - a roaring lion- devouring

MATT.7 [14] Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that
find it.[15] Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

Beware of false prophets - They are ravening wolves-these also appear to be GOds enemies

ACTS 20 [29] For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.[30] Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.

More wolves- yup these to are the enemies of God

EPH.4 [17] This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in
the vanity of their mind,[18] Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart:[19] Who being past feeling have given
themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.

Vanity - Clean and unclean - greed- hmmm...

I wonder if we can find a scripture that would uncover these true enemies of God.

EZEK.22 [23] And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,[24] Son of man, say unto her, Thou art the land that is not cleansed, nor rained upon in the day of indignation.[25] There is a conspiracy of her prophets in the midst thereof, like a roaring lion ravening the prey; they have devoured souls; they have taken the treasure and precious things; they have made her many widows in the midst thereof.[26] Her priests have violated my law, and have profaned mine holy things: they have put no difference between the holy and profane, neither have they shewed difference between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from my sabbaths, and I am profaned among them.[27] Her princes in the midst thereof are like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood, and to destroy souls, to get dishonest gain.[28] And her prophets have daubed them with untempered morter, seeing vanity, and divining lies unto them, saying, Thus saith the Lord GOD, when the LORD hath not spoken

roaring lions - ravening wolves - conspiracy of her prophets - violated MY law - to get dishonest gain -
devoured souls - vanity - uncleanness
HID THEIR EYES FROM MY SABBATHS    
the day of indignation is THE DAY OF THE LORD!

And again i wanna say, if something is being said in scripture on The Day of the Lord, thats the bottom line. The WORD says seek and ye shall find.  The WORD also says if you follow a prophet you will recieve that prophets reward. Dont be decieved. BELIEVE THE SCRIPTURES, they will make you wise unto salvation(being saved)

[Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven]

Hi BlackeyedPeas
All through the bible(including the new testament) God tells HIS people they must keep HIS commandments. Satan knows hes only got to get you practice to break 1 and youve broken them all. You are a transgressor. He also knows it would be hard to convince you its alright to kill, commit adultry, etc...But to keep the sabbath. Its only a day. Seems satan has gotten people to break that commandment rather easily.When i first started in earnest to seek the Lord i decided to do it through the WORD. I did this because i read that the whole world would be decived, and it really didnt make much sence to me to believe what was being taught in the world. So i just figured id read what was written and believe it. Im not a 7th day adventist. They do not believe in the sign of Jonas, or thats Christ will return to earth and HIS feet will stand on the mount of olives. And the modern day prophet thing? Just read Hebrews 1. You ask me what motivates me.

MATT.5 [17] Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. [18] For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.[19] Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

Scripture

Not been commenting on replys but i couldnt let this one slide

Blackeyedpeas says about pride and the commandments

Some folks have pride of such magnitude that they just can't accept the undeserved GIFT of GOD'S GRACE.


THE BIBLE SAYS ABOUT PRIDE AND THE COMMANDMENTS
NEH.9  [16] But they and our fathers dealt proudly, and hardened their necks, and hearkened not to thy commandments,

dealt proudly-hearkened not to thy commandments,

NEH.9  [29] And testifiedst against them, that thou mightest bring them again unto thy law: yet they dealt proudly, and hearkened not unto thy commandments, but sinned against thy judgments, (which if a man do, he shall live in them;) and withdrew the shoulder, and hardened their neck, and would not hear.

dealt proudly-hearkened not unto thy commandments

PSALM 119  [18] Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law.
[19] I am a stranger in the earth: hide not thy commandments from me.
[20] My soul breaketh for the longing that it hath unto thy judgments at all times.
[21] Thou hast rebuked the proud that are cursed, which do err from thy commandments.

rebuked the proud that are cursed, which do err from thy commandments.


PSALM 119
[51] The proud have had me greatly in derision: yet have I not declined from thy law.
[78] Let the proud be ashamed; for they dealt perversely with me without a cause: but I will meditate in thy precepts.
[85] The proud have digged pits for me, which are not after thy law.

yea, aint that a fact.

Well, i guess it comes down again to who you believe. Do ya believe BEPs or the WORD of GOD. Do you deny the WORD. And if you do, does that mean you deny the WORD that became flesh. You have the right to choose. beps words or THE WORD.

Oh i see now
If you try to obey God, to walk after the Spirit, and fail, HE will throw you in the lake of fire. But if you totally ignore HIS WORD and walk your own path, whatever that may be, then and only then does the grace of GOD go to work. WOW, no one ever put it that way before(except a4c, and others which practice iniquity)

Its best you read about this day a4c. Get to know it well.

[Her prophets are light and treacherous persons]

a4c, seems that you and others who have done violence to the law have been invited to a little bon fire in your honor.
for all the earth shall be devoured with the fire of my jealousy.
Dont bother to brong any marshmallows a4c.

ZEPH.3  [3] Her princes within her are roaring lions; her judges are evening wolves; they gnaw not the bones till the morrow.[4] Her prophets are light and treacherous persons: her priests have polluted the sanctuary, they have done violence to the law.[5] The just LORD is in the midst thereof; he will not do iniquity: every morning doth he bring his judgment to light, he faileth not; but the unjust knoweth no shame.[6] I have cut off the nations: their towers are desolate; I made their streets waste, that none passeth by: their cities are destroyed, so that there is no man, that there is none inhabitant.[7] I said, Surely thou wilt fear me, thou wilt receive instruction; so their dwelling should not be cut off, howsoever I punished them: but they rose early, and corrupted all their doings.
[8] Therefore wait ye upon me, saith the LORD, until the day that I rise up to the prey: for my determination is to gather the nations, that I may assemble the kingdoms, to pour upon them mine indignation, even all my fierce anger: for all the earth shall be devoured with the fire of my jealousy.[9] For then will I turn to the people a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of the LORD, to serve him with one consent.[10] From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia my suppliants, even the daughter of my dispersed, shall bring mine offering.[11] In that day shalt thou not be ashamed for all thy doings, wherein thou hast transgressed against me: for then I will take away out of the midst of thee them that rejoice in thy pride, and thou shalt no more be haughty because of my holy mountain.

No one here would steal from others John. The laws of God are written in there heart. You must be mistaken.

a4c more scripture you can deny

EZEKIEL 20[12] Moreover also I gave them my sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, that they might know that I am the LORD that sanctify them.

MY Sabbaths- a sign that I the LORD sanctify them

ISAIAH 66[15] For, behold, the LORD will come with fire, and with his chariots like a whirlwind, to render his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire.[16] For by fire and by his sword will the LORD plead with all flesh: and the slain of the LORD shall be many.[17] They that sanctify themselves, and purify themselves in the gardens behind one tree in the midst, eating swine's flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, shall be consumed together, saith the LORD.

Fire,whirlwind(Day of the Lord)-could be here soon a4c
They that sanctify themselves-
Shall be consumed , saith the LORD.

youve had your reward

[but the keeping of the commandments of God]

Thats right i forgot
you dont believe the scriptures.You deny the WORD. Well, ya say ya believe a couple of lines here and there,takin them out of context

1 COR.7 [18] Is any man called being circumcised? let him not become uncircumcised. Is any called in uncircumcision? let him not be circumcised.[19] Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God

Ya just dont believe verse 19. And everywhere else in the WORD, where the WORD says that. And the WORD became flesh! Do you also deny that?

Hey a4c, old babe do you believe the scripture below. Whats it saying.

1 COR.3 [1] And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.[2] I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now
are ye able.

I have fed you with milk

ISAIAH 28 [9] Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts.[10] For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:[11] For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people.[12] To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear.

whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk. a4c, you been weaned yet?
What is this rest and what is this refreshing the WORD is speaking of that the people will not hear. That you will not here 4ac.

EXODUS 31 [15] Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to the LORD: whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death.[16] Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant.[17] It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.

on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed - There it is.

JER.6 [16] Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein.[17] Also I set watchmen over you, saying, Hearken to the sound of the trumpet. But they said, We will not hearken.[18] Therefore hear, ye nations, and know, O congregation, what is among them.[19] Hear, O earth: behold, I will bring evil upon this people, even the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not hearkened unto my words, nor to my law, but rejected it.

Hearken to the sound of the trumpet. But they said, We will not hearken
(Jesus will return at the last trumpet) I hope your listening by then a4c. I hope you dont deny the WORD then.
ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls

ISAIAH 58 [12] And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.[13] If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the LORD, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words:[14] Then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and I will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.

The restorer of paths to dwell in

a4c, GOT MILK?

A DOUBLE AGENT HAS BEEN SIGHTED

DEPART FROM ME

PSALMS 119 [109] My soul is continually in my hand: yet do I not forget thy law.[110] The wicked have laid a
snare for me: yet I erred not from thy precepts.[111] Thy testimonies have I taken as an heritage for ever: for
they are the rejoicing of my heart.[112] I have inclined mine heart to perform thy statutes alway, even unto the end.[113] I hate vain thoughts: but thy law do I love.[114] Thou art my hiding place and my shield: I hope in thy word.[115] Depart from me, ye evildoers: for I will keep the commandments of my God.[116] Uphold me according unto thy word, that I may live: and let me not be ashamed of my hope.

I hate vain thoughts: but thy law do I love -
Depart from me, ye evildoers(did Dubbya steal that) I will keep the commandments of my God

MATT.7 [22] Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?[23] And then will I profess unto them,
I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

depart from me - ye that work iniquity- Hey a4c does iniquity mean lawlessness? Sure does. Your one of them double aught spies Jethro Bodines always talkin about. Youre workin for the bad guy!

2 THES. 2 [5] Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?[6] And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.[7] For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.[8] And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:[9] Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,[10] And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

In the footnotes of the KJV of the bible you can see that ( iniquity means lawlessness ).You will find this in 2THES.2 verse7. A4C who practice lawlessness  will try and tell you we no longer have to keep the commandments of GOD. But as you can seein verse 10,you will not be saved if you are not keeping all of GODS 10 commandments! The law and the TESTIMONY.The jews have the law and the gentiles have the testimony. WHEN will they come together as 1 stick? I could show you the scripture a4c, but then, you dont believe, you deny the scriptures, you deny the WORD.

NEVER KNEW YOU

MATT.7 [21] Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.[22] Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?[23] And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

ye that work iniquity (lawlessness) -  I never knew you

1JOHN2.[3] And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.[4] He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.[5] But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.

Do you know GOD or do you practice iniquity? The WORD cant be any clearer. There are many like a4c who have come in
the name of Christ who will tell you the commandments spoken of in the above verse is not speaking of the ten commandments. Its your choice, the WORD of GOD or the vain words of men.

Two Minutes With The Bible

Nah,
I had written somethin else.
You almost brought me over to your side for a second there a4c. Not gonna bite. Have a good one.

I believe im sick of you puttin down the GOD of old testament, not having a clue that HE is also the same GOD in the new testament.

Yea BEPs
I couldnt find any scripture either to back up your statement. Been nice talkin to ya.

Hey BEPs
you wrote
I have a 7 day Sabbath. In fact, I have a neverending Sabbath.

Is your statement above something i can look up in the scriptures? If so please tell me where.
