I agree with you, sir.  She's come to late to tell me the Holy Ghost isn't

assistant: If the code is biblically correct it sure is not "stinking". I am not
agreeing with the book that was just published "The Bible Code". But it is an
attempt by non-religious persons to behold secrets that have been hidden.
To say we don't need "codes" is like saying we do not need the book of
Revelation. Just because many people might not understand its full
significance does not negate its truth. Before anyone condemns the attempts
by religious people who are trying to discover these hidden truths, find out
if they may or may not be worthwhile finds.
Read "Yeshua the Hebrew Factor" and "Jesus Is His Name". Both of these are by

assistant: Where?  Where does it say that tongues are the evidences of receiving  the
Holy Ghost?  You can not find such a thing in scripture.  Randy, I  was one a
tongue talking Pentecostal.  I taught it!  And I was wrong!   I know all the
scriptures used to fabricate that assumption, but the  facts of it do not
exist.  On the day of Pentecost, they spoke
Hebrew! One language, being spoken by 120 souls.  It was interpreted  into
the hearing of 15 nations who witnessed this.  It was as much a  miracle of
hearing as it was speaking.  I know what I am talking about  here.  I was
there in the midst of this modern day movement!  I was  caught up in it.
There is a gift of speaking in tongues, but they are  not unintelligible
utterances, they are real and intelligible
languages, which were used to interpret the Hebrew Scriptures to those  of
other tongues.   If you speak in another tongue, you better speak  with the
understanding also.  I am sorry, but you folks are wrong about  this, and I
know the harm it causes.  It may seem "fun" and self  satisfying spiritually,
but it is confusion.  YaHVaH is NOT the author  of confusion.
Paul, who spoke in more tongues (languages) than you all, did not get  the
attention of the crowd by babbling a quaire utterance, but when he  spoke in
the "Hebrew" tongue, everyone listened.  Paul stated that he  would rather
speak five words with understanding than 10,000 words of  some unknown
language, however, churches continue to disrupt its  services by allowing its
members to gabber with no understanding and no  edifying purpose within the
church.

       It seems like everyone is using the Roman Road To Salvation for the

Write your reply.

assistant: But what does the Bible have to say about Tongues.  I won't interpet it
for you.  Just read the Written Word. It is pretty straight forward.
1 Cor 14: 1-16  I quoted it below for you.
1 Cor 14:2 For anyone who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but t
           Indeed, no one understands him; he utters mysteries with his
           spirit. (NIV)
1 Cor 14:4 He who speaks in a tongue edifies himself, but he who prophes
           edifies the church. (NIV)
1 Cor 14:9 So it is with you. Unless you speak intelligible words with y
           tongue, how will anyone know what you are saying? You will ju
           speaking into the air. (NIV)
1 Cor 14:13 For this reason anyone who speaks in a tongue should pray th
            may interpret what he says. (NIV)
1 Cor 14:14 For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my mind is
            unfruitful. (NIV)
The tongue is the most unrulely part of your body.  I just did a scan on
tongue in bible and there are 40 plus ref. to it as being a unruley
member and getting one into trouble.  When one is filled with the Holy
Ghost in all except one ref. in the bible of being field with
the Holy Spirit the first evidence was speaking in tongues.
I will say the devil sure likes to make one doubt just as he did you in
the above paragraph.  I have seen flesh speak in tongues and I have seen
the Holy Spirit enable as well.  Tonges is for the one doing the
speaking.  Interpetation is what edifies the Church.
It is in the Bible.  It is real.  It is for today.

user: You are replying to Clarence Hogan about "Re: Question & Answers".

Write your reply.

assistant: Bro. Clarence,
On the subject of the EVENING, let me add my cents worth. To use G-d's own
definition of the evening, "And the (evening - [darkness]) and the (morning
- [light]) were the first, second, third, etc, day.
Our word EVEN might mean between, the word in Hebrew this is translated from
means dusk. The priest were to light the lamps from EVENING to MORNING. This
is when it was dark, not after 12:00 while it was still day.
The patriarchs would stroll through their fields at the time of the evening,
in the cool of the day. Noon time is anything but cool.
The time of the coming of the EVENING was and still is celebrated by the Jews
at the correct time of day. When the sun is descending below the horizon and
darkness is enveloping the land.
Paul said to "let not the sun go down (disappear) on your wrath." In other
words, do not end one day and begin another while anger has control of you.
The lighting of the candles in Jewish homes commemorates this very aspect of
giving this light to a darkened world. Light a candle while it is day, no
difference. Light a candle as dusk falls across the land, see the majesty of
G-d's creative purposes.
Night cometh when no man can work. Light a candle, evening has fallen.
Please forgive me if I seem flip. I don't mean to. Take a look at the Jew's
time honored traditions. They might of added many fences to the Torah that we
do not agree with or understand, yet their foundations are usually true and
firm.
No. I do not agree with all their traditions, but neither do they. There are
many, sometimes heated debates over these issues, but the going down of the
sun aspect has never changed in thousands of years.

Write your reply.

assistant: Bro. Michael, May I add some more information to your message on tongues? I
am of the Holiness Pentecost movement (Oneness). Yes I believe that if you
receive the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Ghost) you will have a witness of other
tongues. There is a gift of Tongues mentioned in 1st Cor. that is for the
edification of the church. But there is a personal evidence of Tongues that
is manifested through the Spirit of Christ, which is in you.
Paul said that if any speak in Tongues and there be no one to interpret, let
him keep silent in the church (do not cause a disturbance) and speak to
himself and G-d.
Though the apostles used Aramaic, most could and would use the Hebrew tongue
as well. Many of the those that would travel from far points, as did these
that heard the disciples speak in their own languages, were very well taught
in the Hebrew language as well. If Hebrew was spoken, many of those that
heard would of recognized it as such and would not of found it to be
surprising. The apostles were not ignorant of Hebrew but were not schooled by
any of the Torah scholars of the day, so were considered ignorant and
unlearned men by the lawyers and scribes.
When Paul was taken at Jerusalem, as he was on the stairs, called out to the
common people in the Hebrew tongue, which when they heard him speak in the
Holy Tongue, held their peace.
Besides, Aramaic is not so far removed from the Tongue that some words would
not be recognized by anyone.
On the original day of Shavuot (Pentecost), at Sinai when G-d delivered the
commandments to the people, He spoke to all the nations to receive these laws
of His Torah. Yet only the people of Israel would hear and obey.
It said there were thunderings. This was the voice of G-d speaking in the
languages of the nations. According to Jewish history, flames of fire sat
upon each and every one of them in the camp. Sound familiar?
Hope to hear more from you in this echo. Your's in Christ.

Write your reply.

assistant: Brothers, It is not what scientist say.  I have no intention to promote
scientific law.  Nor do I have an objective in promoting any secular  way.
So that you will understand, I spend hour upon hour studying  YaHVaH's word.
I do this without any technical interests, nor for any  self-promotion.  My
investigations are based on the utmost sincerity to  know and do the will of
my Savior.  I have been blessed with almost  unlimited time to investigate
and a desire to do so.  I am a very avid  student of history, and
specifically, Biblical history.  My studies are  emphasized with diligent
prayer.  I am not connected with this world  and its systems, except that I
am alive and live here.  I know what I  am speaking of.  I base my belief on
the Bible and have no selfish  reasons for the conclusions which I assert.
Not only does the
Scriptures speak these things clearly to me, I also see the complete  wisdom
in the truth of the matter.  The Sabbath does, always has, and  always will
begin at Noon, which starts the Seventh day.  The Jewish  people have
sustained the Sabbath as it was delivered to them from the  time of the
Pharisees, of YaHshua's day, and many years prior.  This  Sabbatical schedule
was adapted from the original because of Political  and Economic advantages.
But, from the beginning, it was not so.   Scripture is clear on this, if we
could just study it without any  preconceived ideas or persuasions, we would
clearly see the truth of  this.  Go back and read the complete series on this
subject as posted  (re-posted) to Tony Lee.  Give it a chance.  You have
nothing to loose  and everything to gain.  The truth is what we all want.
Right?  YaHshua  is never displeased when someone is diligent to consider all
the facts  so as to be sure of their soundness.  If I am wrong, you cannot be
 harmed.  But if I am right, you will take a giant step forward, toward  a
more perfect way.  Thanks gentlemen.

Write your reply.

assistant: Brother Clarence, You are missing a most important factor.  The word
"Evening" does not mean "night," nor does "morning" mean "day."
When it is one o'clock in the morning, is it light outside?  NO!  It  is dark
as night.  when it is one o'clock p.m., is it dark out.  NO! it  is light.
The word "Afternoon" is a recent term applied to the first  5 hours and 59
minutes after the noon hour.  However, even when I was a  child, I recall
that these hours were still referred to as evening.  It  is true that YaHVaH
called the light "day," and the darkness, he called  night.  He did NOT
called light "Morning," nor did he call darkness  "Evening," because, they
have different definitions.  Evening is from  12:00.01 p.m., to 11:59.59 p.m.
 Morning is from 12:00.01 a.m. to  11:59.59 a.m.  Noon is 12 o'clock high,
while 12 o'clock low, is  Midnight.  On the other hand, Daytime is the light
part of a 24
hour day, and night time is the dark part of a 24 hour day.  If we read  it
in proper context, the Hebrew is "perfectly" clear on this.
You are correct, YaHVaH is not the Author of confusion, yet people  become
confused when they try to read with preconceived ideas and  persuasions.  It
has been ingrained into our minds all of our lives  that the Sabbath is from
sunset to sunset, instead of the "going Down  of the Sun, to the going down
of the sun," that we can not accept  anything different.  No one likes being
wrong, but it is a worse shame  to remain so.  Think on these things and
don't be so quick to dismiss  them.

assistant: Hello Mick.  I only quoted the first few lines of your post on Romanism  and
Babylonianism, to save space (Although this post could and should be  carried
on and on a few generations).  Just wanted to say that you are  right on
concerning this.  As you know, there is much more that can be  said on this
matter, and should be said.  One of our Catholic friends  has told me that he
has heard it all before, and is not convinced.   However, I bet he has never
heard it in as much detail as could be  presented, for Revelations reveals
this abomination from the days of  "Antipas," or Anti-papas (Rev 2:13).
I would like to know your opinion on what is meant by the "MOTHER OF
HARLOTS"?  I will clue you in on a bit of my understanding, then you  can
tell me your thoughts if you will.
The word "MOTHER" itself, indicates that she has "offspring."  Looking  at
what kind of mother this is, as you have shown in your discourse to  be
"religious," then could we not assert that her offspring is also
"religious."  Also knowing that we have determined this "religious"  MOTHER
to be Roman Catholicism, what religious organizations are there in  the world
today who have broken away, standing on their own, and have  grown to
substantial sizes and positions of import themselves?  I would  be curious to
hear your thoughts on this.
Thanks Mick.
