1. Is it true that Sunday is the Lord's Day?
To address this question, let’s first establish how Sunday became the Lord’s Day for the Roman Catholic Church or the Mother of Sunday worship.
Quoting from the Catechism of the Catholic Church, on the following lines: (https://www.vatican.va/archive/ccc_css/archive/catechism/p3s2c1a3.htm),

2174 Jesus rose from the dead "on the first day of the week."104 Because it is the "first day," the day of Christ's Resurrection recalls the first creation. Because it is the "eighth day" following the sabbath,105 it symbolizes the new creation ushered in by Christ's Resurrection. For Christians it has become the first of all days, the first of all feasts, the Lord's Day (he kuriake hemera, dies dominica) Sunday: We all gather on the day of the sun, for it is the first day [after the Jewish sabbath, but also the first day] when God, separating matter from darkness, made the world; and on this same day Jesus Christ our Savior rose from the dead.106 2175  Sunday is expressly distinguished from the sabbath which it follows chronologically every week; for Christians its ceremonial observance replaces that of the sabbath. Those who lived according to the old order of things have come to a new hope, no longer keeping the sabbath, but the Lord's Day, in which our life is blessed by him and by his death.108 2190      The sabbath, which represented the completion of the first creation, has been replaced by Sunday which recalls the new creation inaugurated by the Resurrection of Christ. 2191      The Church celebrates the day of Christ's Resurrection on the "eighth day," Sunday, which is rightly called the Lord's Day (cf. SC 106).

These are some of the reasons why the Catholic Church claims that the Lord’s day is Sunday and not Saturday.
However, we understand and know that the principle rule of interpreting Scripture is that Scripture interprets Scripture. All Culture, Customs, Traditions and man-made laws are all subject to Scripture. We need to examine everything we hear in light of God’s word. If it’s not grounded in the clear interpretation of the Scripture, then it needs to be rejected.

With that being said, let’s allow the Bible to define and identify the Lord’s day starting with the book of of the Prophet Isaiah 58:13, which we read:
13If 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:
In this verse, God explicitly calls the Sabbath “His Holy Day”.
HOLY: קָדְשִׁ֑י (qāḏ·šî)
Strong's Hebrew 6944:

1. apartness, holiness, sacredness, separateness 1a) apartness, sacredness, holiness 1a1) of God 1a2) of places 1a3) of things 1b) set-apartness, separateness

So, what then is the Sabbath?
We can find the Sabbath in the fourth (4th commandment) of God which is the heart of the ten (10) commandments in Exodus 20:8-11, we read:
8Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
9Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
10But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
11For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
In this commandment, we note three (3) keywords why this day is distinguished from other days.
God said to keep it holy, being His Holy Day, God blessed and hallowed it.
In this commandment, it is clear that the Sabbath day is the seventh day, which we know is Saturday and clearly not Sunday or the first day.

Referring to the New Testament on the keeping of this day, we ought to know that Jesus said that He did not come to destroy the law of God or in any way change it but rather, to fulfill it in Matthew 5:17.
Jesus also said that He is Lord even of the Sabbath day in Matthew 12:8.
After Jesus death, His disciples and Apostle Paul also kept the Sabbath day.

2. Was the Ten Commanmdent Law only meant for the Jews?
This question is always being asked and it’s because Satan wants everyone to be confused about what’s expected of them in order to enter the Kingdom of Heaven.  Too many ministers, who are wolves in sheep’s clothing, have been led astray about this vital topic, too, and will be lost as a result.  But let us, instead, be united in promoting the TRUTH about all this.

The Ten Commandments have ALWAYS been binding since the beginning of Time.  One of the Bible’s clues about this can be found in Psalm 103:20 which says:  Bless the Lord, ye His angels, that excel in strength, that do His commandments, hearkening unto the voice of His word.

So, if the angels in heaven are obliged to keep the Ten Commandments, why would it not follow that the rest of those beings, whom God has created, wouldn’t be expected to do the same thing? 

It was Satan who was the first to break one of the Ten Commandments while being called Lucifer in Heaven.  He allowed himself to become envious.  He dared to covet the position of someone else.  He dreamed of what it would be like to be worshiped above His Creator.  If this had not been a sin or a violation of the Ten Commandments, he would still be living in Heaven right now.

Instead, he was cast out—along with all his sympathizers—who were equally guilty of breaking the Ten Commandment Law.  This should tell us that no one will be allowed to live eternally in Heaven if they are unwilling to live by the Ten Commandment Law.

Of course Satan and his minions would have us all to believe that the Ten Commandments are too oppressive and impossible to keep.  Because we’ve all experienced some pretty spiritually paralyzing additions, it’s too easy to believe we’re helpless victims—doomed to be lost—because the Ten Commandments are too difficult to obey. 

The reason we allow ourselves to think this is because we have established a lot of bad behaviors that have become so routine we don’t see a way to break free from them.  In fact, we are inclined to feel we don’t even WANT to break free from them.  We are also surrounded by a population of weak willed humans who are too comfortable with their sinful natures to be inspired to want to change. 

As for our obligation to obey God’s Ten Commandment Law, the answer to this question is a simple “Yes.”

Ever since the fall of Adam and Eve, Satan has been working overtime to make humans forget the Ten Commandments.  Through temptations that seem to overwhelm our senses, we have become very weak.  God knew that mankind was weak-willed.  This is why He gave us the ability to keep His commandments through a daily relationship with Him.  Through His constant love for us, He has done everything possible to make things easier for us to obey Him.  But this is a mystery to those who don’t care enough to find out how it works.  For those who are unwilling to even pray or admit they need help, it won’t be given.  Free choice is something given to all of us and God won’t force us to obey Him—unlike Satan and his minions will try to do. 

One of the main reasons so many believe the Ten Commandments were only meant for the Jews is because of the dramatic way in which God repeated the Ten Commandments on Mount Sinai after the Israelites were rescued from their bondage in Egypt.  Many have interpreted this to mean that they simply didn’t exist before then—or that they are still binding now.  But let’s look deeper into this.

Professed Christians of the New Testament believe there is no proof that the Ten Commandments are still binding after Jesus died on the cross for our sins.  But there are so many scriptures in the New Testament which defy this claim. 

One of the first that comes to my mind is found in Revelation 14:12, which says:  Here is the patience of the saints; here are they that keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.

The Book of Revelation was written to be our guide for the last days before the return of Christ.  If it’s not necessary to obey the Commandments any longer, why is this reference being made about those who ARE keeping the commandments of God in the last days?  In verse 9 of this same chapter, it mentions the mark of the beast and those who dare to worship his image instead of worshiping God.  The strong implication is that those who disobey God’s Ten Commandments and who worship the image of the Beast will be lost.  This is why I always tell people who are confused about the mark of the beast that the best way to avoid receiving it is to obey the Ten Commandments.  Obedience to the Ten Commandments is our insurance policy against receiving the mark of the beast.

There are plenty of OTHER Bible verses which reveal the necessity of keeping the Ten Commandments—regardless as to whether or not you happen to be a Jew.

Many of us already know these scriptures.  But they bear repeating.  In Matthew 5:17,18 Jesus says:  Think not that I am come to destroy the law or the prophets.  I am not come to destroy but to fulfill, for verily I say unto you, til heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law til all be fulfilled. 

In verse 19, Jesus goes on to say:  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 whoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

If the above verses were the only ones in the Bible which made it so clear that the Ten Commandments are binding on ALL of us, it would be enough.  But there are many more verses I could give to support the idea that the Ten Commandments are binding on everyone—not just the Jews.  (And the one’s I’ve provided just now are from the NEW Testament!)  So how anyone can believe God’s Law isn’t binding on anyone besides the Jews is beyond me.  It’s as if people are going out of their way to deliberately misinterpret scripture.  But, then, that seems to be the popular thing to do among those who are inclined to hate truth and believe in lies.

3. Can you please explain Galatians 3:13?

4. Is Monday the first day of the week?
Matthew 28:1    In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first [day] of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.   28:2       And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it. 

Looking at the verse above, we can see how Monday is not the first day but Sunday. The verse clearly says, after the Sabbath is the 1st day of the week which is the day that Christ was resurrected. Even the catholic church confirms what day Sunday is.

So, if Sunday is the first day and is the Lord's resurrection day, then Monday is not the 1st but the 2nd day of the week.

8. Why is it that when you expose the doctrinal errors of other churches, their members will say that you are bashing them?

Below's answer is also a personal testimony from Sister Fe.

Let us answer this question using the Bible.
First, let us define terminologies

Bashing – strong criticism of a particular type of person or thing:

In other words, bashing is criticizing someone or a thing. Criticizing means saying that someone is bad. Now, let us go to the Bible for answer regarding this question. Let us find out what the Bible says regarding bashing or criticizing something or saying someone or something is bad.

Let us look at the example of our Saviour, the Perfect Pattern. When He was on earth, how did He deal with those who are evil?

Matthew 3:7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?  12:34            O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.  23:33 [Ye] serpents, [ye] generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?

Here we can see that Jesus called out the Pharisees and Sadducees for speaking all manners of evil. He called them generation of vipers, evil and serpents. As we know, this class of people during the time of Jesus were always looking for faults saying many different kinds of evils. Let us give an example:

Luke  7:34 The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners!  -- They called Jesus a winebibber and gluttonous just because He sat with them and as we know He was teaching them the way of the kingdom of God and there is no record that Jesus sinned with them by being drunk.

John 10:33 The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.  – These people accused Jesus of blasphemy and wanted to stone Him. But we all know Jesus did not commit blasphemy for He was the Son of God and a God Himself.

There are many more examples of how this class of people treat others who do not comply with their traditions and customs.

So, we see in Matthew, Jesus called them out for being evil. Now, can we call this bashing and criticizing and that Jesus should have not done that to the Pharisees and Sadducees? Did Jesus sin for calling them out? What did Jesus say?

Isaiah 58:1 Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and show my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins. 

Very important points are being said here. First is cry aloud. It does not say whisper. It says clearly cry aloud. Next, lift up they voice like a trumpet. When you blow a trumpet, how does it sound like? Does it sound like a flute? No. It is loud and clear. Next it says show my people their transgressions and sins. God commanded us all to expose the sins of the people of God, not their personal lives and what they are doing inside their own homes. This is talking about “the house of Jacob”. Not his own literal household but symbolically the church.

As we know, God has many people in many churches. How do we call them out of all apostate churches? Is by telling them the truth in the Word of God and showing them the errors that they are embracing. Let us go into details. I will use my own testimony in how God lead me out of the fallen churches.

I was born and raise Catholic. I married a devout SDA and by Bible studies I accepted the truth and was baptized into the SDA church. When I started to share the truth about graven images or Sunday worship to my family members or relatives and friends. What response did I receive from them? Some of them told me stop bashing the catholic church. But I did not stop exposing their errors.

We were SDA’s for a long time until we have started to see the apostasies of the church that we used to be part of. They kicked us out for exposing their new found apostate doctrines like they started using the image of the cross and we exposed it as paganism. They were corrected and as a result they Sent forth railing lies and became accusers of the brethren saying we left the SDA church because my husband was offended, this and that. Same thing the catholic church did to me, the sda church did to me and now the sdr church. Same spirit with all these professed churches.  When we left the SDA church, we started telling others of the truth behind the modern SDA teachings and practices. What did the SDA’s tell us for doing so? They said stop bashing the SDA church. But of course we did not stop.

From being SDA, we became SDR. Then as you all know, we have separated from the SDR church for the same reasons I left the catholic and the SDA church. Doctrines that were used to be true were twisted and turned into a lie. Let me give you specific examples:
A. Redefined the beheading of the saints prophecy being in the Sunday law to being the martyrs 2000 years ago
B. Moved the universal global unity into the plagues
C. Placing the Jacob's rime of trouble into the plagues for the saints when we know Scripture says they are delivered during the plagues
D. Changed the 7 seals into a lie
E. Changed the 7 trumpets into a lie twice by changing their position
F. Down-playing the wrath of God
     1. The wicked will not know the plagues are falling
     2. The wicked will be eating and drinking during the plagues
     3. The wicked will still be given into marriage during the plagues
     4. The wicked will have a global unity to kill in the 6th plague but then can't do it
     5. The 7th plague is going to happen in 2030 thereby implying that Jesus is also going to return in 2030
G. Echoing the messages of stargazers, astrologers who are nothing by liars
H. Echoing Pope’s agenda 2030 to condition the minds of the people that we have few years left to prepare
I. The latter rain is yet to come in 2-3 years then they can start working in the street
J. Sunday law will happen in 2027 due to Pope’s statement of climate change deadline by 2027

More about the apostasy of the SDR church

And so last Sabbath, after the testimonies and praises, the SDR members said we are bashing them and it is sad. The same reactions we received from the catholic church then to SDA church then now to SDR church. What is the difference? Nothing. All these churches say the same thing and react the same way. It is because they share the same spirit of lukewarmness which is blinded by the delusions that Satan has brought into them.

There are people who will not believe even if you bring evidence. Example you show them verses from Bible that graven images is idolatry. They will ignore and worse they get upset at you for saying their graven images are deaf, mute and cannot move. Then to the SDA’s they also say the same thing. When you tell them that trinity is false or the crosses that they put in their churches are specie of paganism they will say oh you are bashing our church and they get upset. Now, it’s the same experience with our former church. You show them how the wicked will not party during the plagues because it is the Lord’s vengeance for one year they will suffer. You show them how the wicked will not party during the plagues because it is the Lord’s vengeance for one year they will suffer. You show them that the comet of 2030 being the 7th plague is time setting because Jesus coming cannot be predicted by these astrologers yet even you show them the evidence that their pastor is lying to them, they will not believe you and even get upset and post in social media that you are lying about their church. YOU SHOW THEM THEIR ERRORS IN ALL THEIR NEW FALSE Doctrines and they resort to accusing, lying about person's personal lives in order to shutdown the truth we presented to them. Then they throw you out without a hearing. All the same work Satan did in heaven against Jesus. He resorted to accusing Christ, like the pharisees did to him and all our brethren before us. Even my two daughters who are united in this sdr apostasy turned to all their evil, lying reporting and accusing when none could defend their doctrinal errors. They got so upset even saying the carabao which is a farm animal is better than me as a mother. This is how the wicked work.

But brethren and those who are listening online, let us remember, there is nothing new under the sun. We are living in a perilous time. It is not time to sleep and be quiet about these false churches and their false teachings. We are to cry aloud so that the people of God that are still inside those churches can hopefully come out before probation closes. Do not worry if they say you are bashing them. Stick to the doctrinal errors and practices. Do not criticize their personal lives just focus on doctrinal issues. Do not silence the Holy Spirit moving you to speak the truth regarding their lies and falsehoods. Time is running out. And if we expose the errors and lies of catholic church, protestant church, Mormons, sda’s and others, how much more the SDR church? Are they exempted? No way. If we mention the pope who belongs to the biggest institution on earth and these other popular preachers today, is the SDR leader nicholas exempted? No way at all.

I hope we all will possess the spirit of power and of strength and not of fear for God has not given His people the spirit of fear.

2 Timothy  1:7    For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.   

Let us move forward as brave soldiers for God, fearing nothing in this world. Nothing can stop us from preaching truth and exposing errors for God has given us a clear duty and at all cost, we must fulfill through the power of the Holy Spirit.

Romans 8:31-39  

What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?
Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.
Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Amen

9. Why is your church not registered?

10. Is it wrong to switch religion? Others say, it is okay to stay where you're at as long as you believe in God.

This is a question that seems to be inspired from a premise of not wanting to offend anyone who might disagree with the convictions of a particular person.  In an effort to be politically correct, we’re inclined to tip-toe around the feelings of others to the point where we can sacrifice our own integrity to avoid being what seems offensive.  But our FIRST loyalties should always be to God instead of other humans.  Therefore I submit to you the most direct answer to this question:  Yes, it DOES matter which religion you belong to.  But the ‘yes’ answer also needs to be explained further, to avoid misunderstandings.  So please be patient with me as I explain.

In 1st Corinthians 1:10 it says:  Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that we all speak the same thing and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment. 

There are too many who use this same verse as a weapon against what it means to be truly united in Christ.  Some say it means we should sacrifice our personal convictions in order to show outward unity to the most widely accepted beliefs of the general public—or the most widely acceptable views of the most popular church.  It’s very tricky and can cause people to give up their integrity—thinking they’re doing the right thing—when, actually, they’re doing the WRONG thing.

For many years I’ve heard people—like Oprah Winfrey—say that we’re all on different roads to heaven and that each of us has our own ‘truth’.  When you stop to analyze this false idea, you can easily see how deceptive it is.  There is only ONE truth in the world worth believing and that is God’s truth.  But there are many different lies out there which can’t be trusted.  As much as God wants us to be united in HIS truth, he doesn’t want us to be united in the WORLD’s version of the truth.  This is what separates the true Christians from the fake Christians—who promote what they believe without first testing it against the scriptures. 

Please don’t fall for the deception that a mere belief that God exists is enough to save you, either.  In James 2:19, 20 it says:  Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well:  the devils also believe and tremble.  But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?  In other words, there is more to be done than to merely believe there is a God.  One must take action upon this belief in order to be saved.  This is a vital truth.

The only sure way Christians can be united in God’s truth is to study it from God’s own word—the Bible.  But you have to pray to the Holy Spirit, first, in order to have the proper interpretation.  You also need to be living up to the light you already possess in order to have a clear understanding of truth.  If a person has just committed a crime—without repenting--before opening up a Bible to read it, how can he be expected to learn more truth?  I submit to you that most people, today, are guilty of something they haven’t yet made right with God before they sit down to read the Bible.  Therefore their motives are affected and they won’t have the expected outcome to learn the truth because they aren’t prepared for it.  God doesn’t give us more truth to cherish if we aren’t already living up to the light we have.  This is why there is so much confusion in the world today.  This is also why there are so many denominations all over the place.  Satan has tricked so many seemingly well-meaning people into sins that they haven’t confessed, while also tricking them into believing God has forgiven them when He really hasn’t; then they proceed to cherry pick the scriptures for anything that SEEMS to support their doctrinal errors.  Add to this the many OTHER people who don’t study for themselves, or who don’t confess their personal sins, and you have a recipe for all kinds of different belief systems that only lead their followers to Hell.  It’s a very complicated mess that Satan has created for weak humans to have to deal with.

In the meantime, God already knew in advance that this would happen.  So He provided a way of escape.  In John 16:13 it says:  Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will he will guide you into all truth:  for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak:  and he will shew you things to come.

What most people don’t stop to consider is the fact that there is a QUALIFICATION to being led into truth.  If we don’t qualify to know the truth, we will never learn  it.    Being obedient to God in our personal lives is what qualifies us to being led to truth.  We have all been deceived in regard to various things throughout our lives.  But it’s only when we have been honest with ourselves and with God that we have been led away from the lies.  Otherwise, we would remain with others who are deceived and like minded. 

So God DOES want to bring His children together in unity.  But He can’t do so without their cooperation.  The Bible has listed certain unchangeable principles that all true Children of God will agree upon.  THOSE are the one’s who are able to come together in unity.  The rest of the world will come together in unity, too, but for a far different purpose. 

So if you happen to belong to a church that is promoting false doctrines and you know it, it makes a BIG difference if you should decide to remain part of such an organization.  It would mean you care more about something else than the truth.   It might mean you care more for your reputation than for God’s truth.  It might mean you care more for family members who are also a part of that organization than for God’s truth.  It might mean you care more for your friends or a job than for God’s truth.  Therefore it’s important to count the cost before making such an important decision.

To further illustrate the need to be separate from false religions, Revelation 18: 4 says:  And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins and that ye receive not of her plagues.

To sum it all up:  We won’t even have the desire to know truth or to come away from false religions if we haven’t been consistently living a godly life to begin with.  If you haven’t already turned to Jesus so he can rescue you from yourself—along with the many churches that are in error—there’s no time like RIGHT NOW—to make that all important decision to come out of Babylon...

11. Is it true that prayers and good deeds are enough to become a true Christian?

They are not enough.
Yes, we must pray every day and do good deeds. However, we cannot tell that what we think is right is righteous to God. We cannot even say that our prayers and deeds are pleasurable to God and aligned with His high standards.

Revelation 14:12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

How do we know the commandments of God? All His laws and principles are in the bible.

Exodus 20: The 10 commandments. (Generally, we must obey the 10 commandments. That’s what most professed Christians do.)

As Christians, we do not only follow and focus on the 10 commandments but also obey God’s all statutes found in the bible. As a matter of fact, there are so many abominations that we think are right if we are not knowledgeable enough in the bible. Few of those are the food we eat (Leviticus 11), the clothes we wear (1 Timothy 2:9-10), the music we listen to (Psalm 150:4), etc.

Galatians 5:19-21
5:19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
5:20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
5:21 Envyings, murders drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

1 Corinthians 6:19-20
6:19 What? Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
6:20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.
Therefore, for us to become a Christian and inherit the kingdom of God, we must follow Christ’s character (Galatians 5:22-23) and need to be rooted in the bible.

Therefore, our prayers and good deeds are not enought for there are many other things that a true Christian must observe. First and foremost our faith in God must be strongly established and then our works must follow proving our faith is not dead and our good works must align with the will of God which is His commandments.

12. Is Mary the mediator since she is the mother of Jesus and also if Mary is the queen of heaven?

Let me start by mentioning that according to the Bible, the saints who went to heaven, that are  known by name, are Enoch and Elijah along with Moses.  We know that Moses and Elijah were present with Christ at His transfiguration in Matthew 17. 

The Scriptures do not mention about Mary being in heaven unlike Enoch and Elijah.  Therefore, like king David, Mary is dead or asleep in her grave as are many other saints.  According to Ecclesiastes 9:5, 6 and 10, the dead know not anything. 

According to 1 Timothy 2:5, the Lord Jesus Christ is our one and only mediator.  The verse says: For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.

According to Christ Himself, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me.
Romans 8:34 also identifies Christ as our Intercessor.   Christ, as our Mediator, intercedes on behalf of His saints to God the Father.  

No one but the Lord Jesus Christ is our Mediator, our Intercessor.  He is THE LINK between God the Father and His saints.  To say that anyone else can be a Mediator is:

1. To go against what the Scriptures say.
2. To undermine the role of Christ as our sole Mediator according to the Scriptures.

2. Is Mary the queen of heaven spoken of by the prophet Jeremiah in Jeremiah 7 and Jeremiah 44?

So where does this veneration of Mary come from?  In the 9th century before Christ, queen Semiramis also known as Sammu-ramat, Ishtar or Easter, ruled ancient Babylon from 824 to 811 BC.  Semiramis started a mystery religion based on the worship of the sun.  Her citizens worshipped the sun gods Mithras and Baal on the day of the sun or SUNday.  As queen of ancient Babylon, Semiramis was revered by her citizens who considered her as “the mother of god” and “the queen of heaven”.  

Oddly enough, these are the same titles given to Mary by her followers in modern-day Babylon, the Roman Catholic church.  
The holy prophet of God, Jeremiah, who lived in the 7th century before Christ or about 150 years after the reign of Semiramis wrote about ancient Israel worshipping false gods including Semiramis as the queen of heaven.  

In Jeremiah 7:18 , we read, The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke Me to anger.

To this day, these same cakes or hot crossed buns are eaten by people who claim to be Christians while observing Easter, which is one of Semiramis’ names.

In Jeremiah 44:17, the prophet of God goes on to write, But we will certainly do whatsoever thing goeth forth out of our own mouth, to burn incense unto the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her, as we have done, we, and our fathers, our kings, and our princes, in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem: for then had we plenty of victuals, and were well, and saw no evil.

In both verses, Jeremiah speaks of the queen of heaven who can only be Semiramis,  NOT Mary, since Jeremiah wrote about the activities which ancient Israel actively took part in their false worship of the queen of heaven, Semiramis, including in the cities of Judah and in Jerusalem. 

This false worship by ancient Israel happened in the days of Jeremiah who lived 7 centuries before Mary who lived in the 1st century. 

To conclude:

Only Christ is our Mediator according to the Scriptures, not Mary or anyone else according to John 14:6, 1 Timothy 2:5 and Hebrews 9:15.

It is only by the name of Jesus Christ or Yeshua through which we must be saved according to Acts 4:10, 12, not Mary or some church organization. 

It is Christ Who is:

• The Word Who became flesh
• Immanuel or God with us
• The Door
• The Good Shepherd
• The Branch
• The I AM
• The Lamb of God Who takes away the sins of the world
• Who is Immaculate or without sin
• Who is our Intercessor between God the Father and us

AND      Who is our Mediator.   NOT MARY.    Thank you Jesus Christ for being our Mediator between God the Father and us.  May the love, peace and grace of the Most High God be with you in these end times.

20. Does God approve fortune-telling?

21. What does it mean to be "least in the kingdom of heaven"?
While it’s easy to understand why someone would be tempted to assume they might be saved for the kingdom of heaven, because of the particular wording of this Bible verse, it would also be ludicrous for anyone to believe that they’d actually gain access to heaven as a result of teaching others to break ANY of the Ten Commandments.  People who are looking for legal loopholes as an excuse to break God’s law will always think they’ve found one—even when they haven’t.  So, no, commandment breakers are all treated the same way.  There are no exceptions. 

Just because the residents of Heaven might be talking about a particular person does not mean that the person they are talking about will also be in heaven.  No doubt the saints will be making references to a certain fallen angel who was cast out of heaven many eons ago.  But does that mean this same being is still in heaven?  Not at all!

It’s a stretch of the imagination to think that anyone who disobeys God’s laws will, somehow, be living in heaven just because their name comes up in a conversation about those who taught others to disobey.    It’s a form or wishful thinking among those who hope to be an exception to a rule. 
In Revelation 21:27 it says:  And there shall in no wise enter into it anything that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination or maketh a lie; but they which are written in the Lamb’s book of life.

That just says it all!  How can anyone who taught others to disobey God’s Ten commandments end up in heaven—without first repenting?  I hope and pray this makes the answer to the question very clear.

22. Why is the Catholic church's 10 commandments different from what's written in the King James Bible?
The Roman Catholic Church removed commandment #2 and split commandment #10 into two.

Why do they have to remove commandment #2? The answer is plain and simple. Commandment #2 contradicts their mandmade doctrine of worshipping graven images. As we know, the Catholic Church is full of idolatry. They believe praying to dead saints and graven images are ways to deliver prayers unto God the Father but this is a transgression to the explicit command of God to not make graven images nor worship and serve them. So, they have to remove it in order to make their church appear innocent but when you open the Bible, this doctrine of worshipping and praying to graven images is a direct transgression to the law of God found in the 2nd commandment.

Since they have removed one commandment, they have to split another commandment into two to complete the 10. This church has been known to change many things including the law of God. They even admitted to have changed the Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday. They have declared the church is above the Bible, therefore, it is not a surprise why they can change many things from the Word of God but as the Bible declares, those who change or add to what's written therein will also suffer more when God punishes all the wicked. Revelation 22:18

"Of course the Catholic Church claims that the change (Saturday Sabbath to Sunday) was her act... And the act is a MARK of her ecclesiastical authority in religious things." H.F. Thomas, Chancellor of Cardinal Gibbons. Nov. 11, 1895

"Sunday is our MARK of authority. . .the church is above the Bible, and this transference of Sabbath observance is proof of that fact" Catholic Record of London, Ontario Sept 1,1923.

23. Is it true that the Bible will be banned or confiscated soon? Why do they hate the Bible so much? What will you do?

We know the Bible is the Word of God, the lamp unto our feet and the light unto our path. Much more so, we know that the Bible is the Word of God the Father. The Word is Jesus Christ, the Son of God manifested in the flesh of a human being. John 1:1, 14. We also know that Satan hates Jesus and so much so, he also hates the Bible.

History: series of events showing how the Bible is hated

• In 1229, the Bible was put on the list of forbidden books to read by pope Gregory IX.  A  similar prohibition was announced at a Catholic church’s council in 1234. 

• In the second half of the 14th century, John Wycliffe was a dissident Catholic priest from England.  He was critical of the Babylonian Roman Catholic Church and was responsible for the translation of the Bible from Latin to Middle English in 1383.
  
  He believed every Christian should study the Bible.  When he was met with opposition to the translation of the Bible to English, Wycliffe replied "Christ and his apostles taught the people in that tongue that was best known to them. Why should men not do so now?" William Tyndale was an English scholar who published the Bible to English in 1526.  9 years later, in 1535, Tyndale "was strangled to death while tied at the stake, and then his dead body was burned"?  Why?  For translating the Bible to English.     

• In November 1793, during the French Revolution, France burned the Bible but later, the Bible made a comeback in that country, which points to Revelation 11.

• In 1923, in the Catholic Record of London, Ontario, Canada, the Catholic church said that it was above the Bible and has essentially replaced the Bible with the man-made Catholic catechism and its own version of the ten commandments.

• In 2003, Canada’s legislative body known as the House of Commons passed a bill that considered the Bible hate speech because of certain passages that deem homosexuality detestable. 
  
• In August 2020, in Portland, Oregon, far-left ANTIFA members burned the Bible. 

• **Gavin Newsom, the governor for the state of California, was sued over his ban against at-home Bible studies but in April 2021, in 5-4 vote, Supreme Court lifts California's COVID ban on group Bible study in homes.
  

Let’s look at the following examples of the Bible being confiscated:

• In 2008, more than 300 Bibles were confiscated by communist China.

• In 2009, more than 15,000 Bibles were confiscated in Malaysia.  5 years later, more than 300 Bibles were confiscated in the same country, Malaysia.
  
• In June 2021, a second grade student from a school in Illinois had her Bible confiscated by school officials because she was reading the Bible during recess, and would talk about it with friends.

These are only but a few examples that have been reported about the Bible being confiscated. 

Here’s my personal experience about the Bible being confiscated or hated.  I bought a French Bible for my Catholic parents about 8 years ago.  A few days later, they gave back the Bible to me. 

In June 2014, I had brought nearly 3,000 cards for a mission trip to socialist Cuba.  As I was walking through the exit doors at the airport, a soldier asked me to come back in.  They asked me to open my luggage and they took all but 5 cards.  The cards were about the mark of the beast with the Sabbath commandment written on one side of the card.

Analysis: With western nations becoming secular resulting from government policies that to support the rights of anyone who hates the Christian God of the universe, do not be surprised if socialist and left-leaning politicians who have never known God or were not raised in a Christian family, turn against the Christian God of the universe by banning His holy written word, the Bible.  

The focus in western nations is to appease to groups including homosexuals, feminists and non-Christians.  Government officials are more concerned about legislating laws to promote the rights of these individuals while at the same time, considering the Bible as hate speech as they did in Canada in 2003. 

The Bible is considered as hate speech because the Bible points out the sins of the wicked and the proud who shamefully exhibit their sins publicly, and the wicked hate that. 

Since we are in the end times, there will an increasing demand, especially in western nations, to ban the Bible.  Communist groups such as ANTIFA burned the Bible in Portland, Oregon in August 2020 in the same way the Nazis did. 

The devil knows that his time is getting shorter as each day passes by and he, with the help of socialists and communists, will do all that he can to make sure that the Bible is not being shared since he knows all too well that the Bible is the holy written word of God and that the Bible testifies of the Lord Jesus Christ. 

Conclusion:  What are we to do? 

Read the King James Bible as often as you can since it testifies of the Lord Jesus Christ as we read in John 5:39. 

Ask God to help you memorize Bible verses that you will need to quip yourself with because some of you will be brought before the magistrates and judges to share your faith in the Lord Jesus Christ when the mark of the Vatican beast will have been enforced. 

As we read in Ephesians 6:12-18, .... 

Therefore, please read the King James Bible DAILY as John Wycliffe mentioned in my opening remarks since the Bible is your last line of defence against a world that is growing darker every day. 

24. The 5th commandment says we have to honour our parents but Matthew 10 seems to teach another thing. How do we harmonize this?
The 5th commandment says we are to honour our parents yet Matthew 10:34-38 says otherwise.  How can you harmonize the two Bible passages when Matthew 10 sounds like you do not have to honour your parents?

• First, let’s look at the 5th commandment of the Lord thy God.
  
  Exodus 20:12 says, Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.
  
  That’s the commandment with a promise from God: if you honour thy father and mother, God will bless you with a long life in the land that the Lord thy God giveth thee.

• To better understand this Bible passage, in Ephesians 6:1, we are reminded by the apostle Paul: Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.
  
  We are to obey our parents who are in the Lord.  What does this mean: who are in the Lord?  If your parents are in the Lord, they are faithful and obedient to Christ.  They live by the written word of God. 

• What is the written word of God?  Ephesians 6:17 says, And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

• Remember that word: sword.    Again, the sword of the Spirit, and God is a Spirit  according to John 4:24, is the word of God.

• If your parents are God-fearing parents who live by the word of God, we ought to honour them and obey them: for this is right according to Ephesians 6:1.
  

• Sword = word of God.   Let’s look at what Christ says in Matthew 10:34-38

Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
And a man's foes [shall be] they of his own household.
He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of Me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me.
And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after Me, is not worthy of Me.


That’s quite the statement, isn’t it? 
Because of Christ’s sword or the word of God, there shall be enmity between family members who do not believe in God, against those who do.  As Christ mentions, a man’s foes or enemies shall be members of his own family.

From my personal experience, that’s happened to me as I’m sure it has happened to you also.

As I mentioned last week, I gave a Bible or the sword, as per Ephesians 6:17, to my parents about 8 years ago and they gave the Bible back to me.  They rejected the sword of the Spirit. 

On a few occasions, I have spoken to my parents about the ten commandments of God including His holy 7th day Sabbath commandment. 

My dad mentioned to me that the Sabbath was for the Jews.  I asked him: then what about the other 9 commandments; are they only for the Jews also?

There was variance between my parents who are Catholic and I, a follower of Christ, over the sword or the written word of God.

We are to love Christ first and foremost above everyone and everything else.  We are to let go of obstacles or barriers or snares that go against the written word of God and God will take care of those individuals, including our family members,  who come against you as per Romans 12:19. 

As Christ says in Mark 8:38, Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of Me and of My words (the sword) in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when He cometh in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.

The word of God which is the sword of the Spirit testifies of the Lord Jesus Christ.  In John 5:39, Christ says to the Pharisees, Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of Me.

• Finally, in speaking of Christ, Revelation 1:16 says, And he had in His right hand seven stars: and out of His mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and His countenance was as the sun shineth in His strength.
  
• A twoedged sword is a sword that is SHARP on both sides. 

• The Old and New Testaments which is the written word of God is the sword of the Spirit, as mentioned in Ephesians 6:17, and out of Christ’s mouth is a sharp twoedged sword which is the word of God since Christ speaks the word of God which is truth according to John 17:17. 

25. Is any sin greater than another?

Some churches have proclaimed some sins to be more grievious in the sight of God more than other particular sins. Some professed Christians are also feeling confident of themselves because they have not literally murdered anyone yet their hearts are full of hatred. Some have professed that they have not literally stolen any thing that does not belong to them yet they openly reject the Sabbath day and declare another day holy. Let us allow the Bible to present the truth regarding this false claim. The Bible has only one definition for sin.

1 John 3:4      Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. 

Sin is the transgression of the law. There is no sin lesser sin and there is no greater sin. In fact, if you offend one commandment, you break all the 10.

James 2:10     For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one [point], he is guilty of all.   2:11            For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law. 

The verses below proclaim that there is no greater or lesser sin. All sins and abomination must be confessed and repented of for these things are not allowed to enter to only defile the pure and holy kingdom of God that is soon to arrive.

Proverbs 6:16  These six [things] doth the LORD hate: yea, seven [are] an abomination unto him: 
6:17    A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, 
6:18    An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, 
6:19    A false witness [that] speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.  

Prov 20:23       Divers weights [are] an abomination unto the LORD; and a false balance [is] not good. 

Prov 12:22       Lying lips [are] abomination to the LORD: but they that deal truly [are] his delight. 

Prov 16:5         Every one [that is] proud in heart [is] an abomination to the LORD: [though] hand [join] in hand, he shall not be unpunished. 

Prov 17:15       He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both [are] abomination to the LORD. 

Prov 28:9         He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer [shall be] abomination. 

Isa 66:17         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. 

Ezekiel 20:8    But they rebelled against me, and would not hearken unto me: they did not every man cast away the abominations of their eyes, neither did they forsake the idols of Egypt: then I said, I will pour out my fury upon them, to accomplish my anger against them in the midst of the land of Egypt. 

Psalms 101:5   Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour, him will I cut off: him that hath an high look and a proud heart will not I suffer. 

1 Sam 15:23    For rebellion [is as] the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness [is as] iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from [being] king. 

Revelation 21:27         And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither [whatsoever] worketh abomination, or [maketh] a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life. 

Romans 1:29   Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,   1:30    Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 
1:31    Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:   1:32    Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them. 

26. What happens if you commit sin?

The Bible says, if you commit sin, death is the payment for it.

Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin [is] death; but the gift of God [is] eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

The old testament is the best witness that can reveal to us the payment for sin.

Deut 21:22  And if a man have committed a sin worthy of death, and he be to be put to death, and thou hang him on a tree: 

This is the reason why The Father sent His Son (John 3:16) to die for us or else, we should have been the ones worthy to die. Many already died before in the days of old for transgressing the law of God. Yet when Jesus came, He became our ransom so that today we do not have to die for our sins. However, many people today have paid for their sins by getting into trouble like driving while drunk and have encountered vehicular accidents. But the death that the Bible is talking about is more on the spiritual death that will also result to literal death when the 1st plague is poured out.

Luke 5:32       I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.  

Jesus came to earth to call sinners to repent. He did not come to earth to burn this planet with fire to get rid of sinners or all of us will be gone. He came to earth to become the ransom. Proof? He died on the cross and became the sacrifice for our sins.

But what should we do when we fall into sin? Another commandment was provided. A solution was presented.

Prov 24:16       For a just [man] falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief. 

This is the law of God that if we fall into sin, no matter how many times, when we have tried to hard yet failed at one point, we have to get back up, confess and repent and continue to fight. Surely if we keep this, we shall never taste death.

John 8:51  Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death. 

Ezekiel 18:21  But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die. 

1 John 1:9        If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us [our] sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Forgiveness means He will erase our sins and look at us like we have never done that particular sin ever. That is the lovingkindess of our dear Saviour.

Hebrews 8:12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.

Psalms 103:11 For as the heaven is high above the earth, [so] great is his mercy toward them that fear him.
103:12 As far as the east is from the west, [so] far hath he removed our transgressions from us.

  27. Many have claimed that it is very difficult to obey the law. They also added that only Jesus can keep the law.

First, God did not give us the 10 commandments because He knows we cannot follow them. Instead, He gave His laws because He knows we can follow them. It is not His desire that any soul should perish as wage for sin. So, what did the Father do? He sent His Son to be our best Example. When Jesus walked on earth, He proved that we can keep the Father's will. He proved that we can perfectly keep the law.

Hebrews 2:21 For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:
2:22 Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:

How do we perfectly keep the law? When we have faith, we will produce fruits corresponding to our faith and when we commit sin, we obey the law to get back up and rise again. The Bible is clear, the law is not grievous. Yes, we cannot keep the law if Christ is not there in our lives and because of our love to Him, we are willing to do anything He requires us to do.

1 John 5:3      For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. 

Philippians 4:13        I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. 

John 14:15     If ye love me, keep my commandments. 

28. Is the law of God only for the adults? What about the kids?

It is important to remember to train the kids in the ways of the Lord. We do not have to wait adulthood so we can start training them. Their training starts as early as possible, therefore, we also have to teach them the laws of God at a very young age so that when they mature in age, they are already familiar with them.

Deuteronomy 6:6 And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: 6:7 And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. 6:8 And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes. 6:9 And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates.

Prov 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.   

2 Timothy 3:15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

30. Please enlighten me about a church being registered with the government. My pastor said that if he does not register the church, it will be called illegal.

There is no law of the land stating that you have to incorporate your church body in order to hold an assembly or organize a church body. That is a deception that it is illegal to form a church organization if it’s not registered with Cesar. Let us understand something, a church is 2 or 3 persons and does not have to be recognized by the government in order for heaven to recognize it. Look at the disciples in the past, they were not under the recognition of Cesar or Rome. They operated as a body without any government’s acknowledgment or endorsement.

One reason why they register their churches is for them to legally accept donations in the public and also own properties in the name of the church body. Otherwise, there is no need to publicly announce donations because the believer can just directly give it to the church Pastor as like the days of apostles.

God said clearly. Matthew 22:21 They say unto him, Caesar's. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's.

Once you enroll the church body with the government, your church becomes a government agency. Your church organization as a whole will have to follow the rules of the state. When the state is ready to enforce Sunday law, any registered organization will have to abide by the rules of the land or loose license. I saw myself how registered churches complied with the wearing of mask and sitting 6ft apart like the SDA church. There’s many livestream in youtube where you can see them comply with the laws.

The SDA church cannot openly rebuke the LGBTQx community otherwise they will suffer penalty by law. Not just the SDA church but all registered churches. They are being groomed to follow or enforce the law of the land. Basically they become law enforcers.

Another proof that the church becomes a government agency is that the pastors from the registered churches can sign government documents like marriage certificates. They can solemnize marriage just like the City Mayors and Judges.

Shaking hands with the state is forming or creating an image to the beast. The best in revelation 17 has a woman riding. Beast nation + woman church. That’s who the beast who will enforce sunday law looks like. Any institution that copies that same pattern is called “an image” or a replica of that beast. That’s why in Revelation 14 it says if any man worships the beast (rome vatican) and his image (churches yoked with state) shall partake of the same plague and suffering when probation closes. These churches yoked with state will also enforce that same law the nations will enforce along with Rome.

31. Can  you help me please understand more about this and also some legalistic rules he has on jewelry and makeup and pants. I believe in where the Bible has weight and God has many favorable passages about jewelry as long as we use modestly

Regarding make up and jewelries, the history of make up traces back to Jezebel the wicked queen who killed many of God’s prophets. She was also into sorcery and witchcraft. One example of withcraft practice is how they trace their eyes with liners. It supposed to give extra power to accomplish something like seduce another person or something to that effect apart from other purposes of make up to conceal someone;s appearance so that the person does not look real or to look like who you are not.

The practice of wearing jewelry has a very long history but you can see how God describes the woman who represents the church in Revelation 12 is very opposite to the harlot woman of Revelation 17 who adorned herself with many adornment. Here are some verses that will help you understand how a woman must adorn herself.

We also built a page regarding jewelries: https://ssremnant.org/walk.html#jewelries
Cosmetics: https://ssremnant.org/walk.html#cosmetics
Dress: https://ssremnant.org/walk.html#dress

Pants: A controversial issue among those who have separated from the SDA church. We know the SDA’s don’t care, they just wear anything. Now comes to those who have separated the rule NOT TO WEAR PANTS as a general rule. They do not introduce the principle of true modesty. It’s not in the specific style or cut of clothes that defines modesty. It’s covering the body without shaping it to avoid getting the wrong attention. They just make up rules to follow or a specific style of dress like the cults do while looking at those who do not follow their styles as worldly. God has many children around the world where climate differs and culture of each country differs as well. When you go to conservative parts of india, you will stick out like a sore thumb wearing the clothes that are not suitable for their culture therefore you will draw the wrong attention. Same with the other parts of the world like Middle east. Consider where you’re at, cover the parts that need to be covered, avoid the tight fitting clothes, choose the proper prints and colors, check out the weather and wear what is proper and appropriate. And no, you don’t swim with the typical swimwear of the world where they don’t cover accordingly. There are still modest swimwear that does not reflect immodesty. Cover more skin and avoid shaping the curves of the body. There are so many pants that are loose. That’s what our sisters in the Philippines wear in their daily work esp in the garden. Typical Blue jeans of course cannot pass the modesty test because it’s tight and shapes the curves.

Bible verse regarding God's people wearing jewelries

Genesis 41:42 And Pharaoh took off his ring from his hand, and put it upon Joseph's hand, and arrayed him in vestures of fine linen, and put a gold chain about his neck; 41:43 And he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had; and they cried before him, Bow the knee: and he made him [ruler] over all the land of Egypt.

What Joseph got was not from someone in the faith but was a pagan who saw the power of God. It was customary for Egyptians to have these jewelries. As for Joseph’s case, it was a sign of rulership or superior authority over Egypt. Kings back then had rings to use to sign something as like in the days of Esther where the king had to sign the decree with a ring or a stamp in our days which contains the seal of a particular officer in the government.

But we see how the wearing of jewelries today are mainly for outward adornment and display. Some people take pride on what they wear silver gold bronze etc. A form of social status so called. Please check the page that we shared above for more about the dress, cosmetics and jewelries. Of course there are a lot of God’s people who do not know the truth yet regarding this topic and they may have another motive so God judges them according to the light they receive. But when the truth comes to God’s child, he will now have a decision to make. Our duty is to inform and not to condemn others who are not in the same level with us.

If you also see how God just wants us to dress plainly abstaining from outward adornment is that He wants us to be simple and abstaining from these things that we are so used to do in the past is also a sacrifice and a form of self denial. Instead, He wants us to focus on the inward adornment.

32. I believe in the Prophetess Ellen White and the Spirit of Prophecy. I read her writings all the time but then I hear about corrupt quotes. How did it happen?

We believe that God inspired the Prophetess Ellen White to write very important messages especially understanding the Sanctuary message that they could not undrestand back in 1844 days of disappoinemnet but because of the infiltration of the SDA church, we stick 100% to the Bible as the final authority for all teachings and doctrines. The true Spirit of Prophecy does not contradict Bible teachings and doctrines. In the compiled books and booklets from the GC, we find so many Jesuit infiltration. We are currently working on exposing these fake SOP quotes taken from compiled writings taking the name of Ellen White and her husband and some of the advent pioneers.

I know there are some who claimed that they have the original writings like vern bates who claimed Jesus in the Word. His ministry claims to have the original writings of the Sis Ellwn White. This ministry is also promoted big time by SDR Nicholas Patula yet when you study these supposed original writings, they are nothing but almost the same as the other books released or published by the GC’s bookstore. The attention of the present truth believers is diverted from grounding themselves with Bible truth first before going to these other books to see if they pass the Scripture, they instead spend their money buying these so called original books, spend much of their time reading these books instead of devoting 100% of their study time into the King James Bible. The result is that they become lazy reading the Bible but too quick to quote from these other writings that are mixed with Jesuit teachings. This too I learned from being SDR for a long time. I would write my sermons based on the SOP quotes here and there (it was easy because I only have to copy and paste from the EGW software) I rely on what was already chewed up information rather than sharpening my understanding by reading the King James Bible and feeding the flock according to the inspiration of the Spirit. That is why till today, you can hear that their teachings and sermons are still flooded with SOP quotes rather than relying heavily from the Bible and the Spirit’s understanding. And by putting their trust into these so called original writings, they fail to see the errors mixed with it and thereby they are deceived into believing other portions of the prophecy are placed into the future like the Armageddon in the 6th plague where the saints suffer great mental anguish as per Great controversy. Or the latter rain is future or the loud cry movement is future. Or the wheat and tares inside the true church. Or the wicked can still build, marry, eat and drink during the plagues. These false teachings are a result of their failure to understand Bible truth and turning to other writings. They rather believe what other books say rather than what the King James Bible says.

When I started to see that Nicholas was going off another direction and misinterpreting quotes from other books, I started to hear the voice to study the Bible first and set aside these other writings and see more how Nicholas is really by trickery deceiving the flock. That was when we disagreed with him and fought hard to stick to Bible truth rather than following erroneous SOP quotes and the rest is history. You see how I was murdered left and right in hopes that I will stay quiet and just follow his lead.

Now I have freedom to study the Bible without having to comply with what man says this quote says this and that. The principles of this church is, if there is any other writing that will be brought to my attention, we first take the Bible and use it as the test to see whether that quote is Biblical or twisted. With all the deceptions in these last days, our final authority in all things is only from the Bible. All other writings must comply with the Bible and not the other way around. I have seen so much of this spirit of uplifting other books than the Bible from these so called present truth believers. They have missed out on so much beautiful understanding from studying the Bible rather than reading these very long quotes and paragraphs from these other books. If sister White was to be alive today, her heart would break seeing how the Jesuits have infiltrated the writings that the Holy Spirit inspired her to write. She seemed to see that this would be done to her writings that is why she basically said, uplift the Bible first and if her writings do not agree with Scripture, reject it. She was a prophet. She could see the possibility of her writings being infiltrated. Even when she was alive, she already felt how the Jesuits have crept in unawares.

Here is the page that we are currently building regarding these fake Sop spreading around. https://sdcministries.org/fakesop.html

Here is the page we built exposing the lies and falsehood of the SDR church: https://ssremnant.org/sdrapostasy.html

33. The 5th commandment comes with a promise of a long life. Does this mean that this commandment comes with promise of salvation?

Regarding the 5th commandment that comes with a promise of salvation, we all know that the 10 commandments are given for those who are saved by grace through faith in the Saviour. The whole 10 is the guide on how we ought to love God and our neighbour. None of the 10 must be left out because break 1 means you break all. James 2:10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one [point], he is guilty of all.

Though it only appears that only the 5th commandment comes with a literal statement of a promise, but considering the whole principle of salvation through Jesus Christ, keeping all the commandments will end up in one reward of eternal life or being sealed worthy to live in the heavenly kingdom.

Joel 2:13 And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God: for he [is] gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil.

34. Couldn’t we celebrate birthdays (glorifying God for the gift of life and because he created us instead of putting the focus on celebrating “self”),

The world has the definition of celebration of particular days. They pick a particular day for a particular purpose but we know that the customs of the people are vain because they are all from the ways of the heathen. It is not wrong to glorify God for the gift of life not at all but to pick a certain day like the world has taught us is following another way. The world should not tell us the go signal in order to glorify God for the gift of life and for creating us. This should be done everyday every moment wherever we go we should always bear in mind this life which is but a vapor is from Him and we must give thanks at all times. Again, picking  the date of our birth which does not even coincide the year of our age because we already spent 9 months in our mother’s womb. The gift of life and creation goes back to the day we were conceived. And to even pick a day we were conceived by our mother is not even a sure thing because no one can really tell what day did our mother conceive us. It is not important when, what matters is He gave us life. More info about celebrating birthdays.

35. Easter Sundays (though we don’t know the exact date or what not, can’t we celebrate it in honor to remember God’s sacrifice on the cross and put focus on him and glorify God instead of bunnies and egg hunting),

Again sister, the world picks the day and gives the go signal to celebrate Easter on a Sunday (the mark of authority of the Catholic Church). Considering the history of the Sunday easter, we can tell this is again a pagan inspired day to deceive the world to think they are remembering God’s sacrifice on the cross. Actually this is what the catholic church has made the people believe that this day is focused on the resurrection but actually behind it is all paganism. The goddess ashtaroth as mentioned in Judges  2:13 “And they forsook the LORD, and served Baal and Ashtaroth.” is the goddes of easter. She is a goddess from the east of Jordan. The world believed they are celebrating the resurrection but actually it is about worshipping the goddess of the East of Jordan, hence, Easter. Apart from that, this Sunday celebration has something to do with another diety of the sun who was supposed to have died for 6 months and then resurrected after that, hence, Easter SUN-day. Then they created all the rituals involved in this spring festival. It is all paganism.
Why cant we remember God’s sacrifice for us every day, every moment? Can we do so? Yes for sure. It is always in our mind. When we pray we always honor the name of our Saviour who died on the cross.

36. Christmas (though we don’t know Jesus exact birthday, couldn’t we celebrate it again in honor of Him instead of putting focus on Santa).

If we dig deeper into the Bible, there is never a command that we should celebrate the DATE of birth. Therefore, there cant be any particular date that the world can pick and give the signal to celebrate or honor this day. The bible records of the 3 kings who visited the manger and gave gifts. That’s about it. There was no banqueting, no setting up of xmas decors of trees, yule logs, cakes and whatsoever. These are all additions and all man-made and pagan inspired. Also, celebrating the birth of Jesus at a particular day has something to do with anyone’s birthday as well. Since the world believes a particular day to celebrate one’s birthday then they included the birthday of Jesus Christ which is unknown to be celebrated as well due to the fact that He was also born here in the Earth. Yet, this movement is unbiblical. Only heathen people are recorded to have celebrated date of births. We can always remember the coming of Jesus as a child on earth every day every moment if we can. We can always honor Him at any time without having to wait for the world to tell us to do so on December 25th. - Regarding birthdays, please click here

37. last but not least thanksgiving (celebrate it in honor of thanking God for the gift of being together with loved ones, bring safe and healthy and glorifying God for everything - in all areas of our lives)…

The history of thanksgiving dates back to where the protestants were escaping from the Pope’s persecution in Europe. They fled to the America to find freedom, hence when they arrived, they celebrated and thanked God for the freedom from the Pope’s crusade. This holiday was instituted to thank God but as we know the real meaning behind this day has vanished due to the world’s deception. The mind is diverted to another direction instead of remembering the real purpose for this date. The world just treats this day like a regular holiday without pushing the idea of what this Thanksgiving is really about. They wont even tell you that this day is a date that marked freedom from the pope and what the pope did to kill many people and how the protestant churches were esacping. Etc. But then again, thanking God for the freedom from apostasy and persecution is always an opportunity that we can do everyday.

Ephesians 5:20 Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;

Colossians 1:12 Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: 3:17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, [do] all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.

38. James chapter 3 talks about the tongue can defile the whole body. Does it mean that I should separate from the church body because some of the members said something against me on a personal basis? The book of James says that the tongue can defile the whole body

Where in the Bible does it say that you can separate from the church of God becaues some members in the church has an issue with their tongue or like they cannot bridle their tongue and they hurt their brethren? Is there any biblical support that a member's tongue can defile the whole church and make it babylon?

Let us rightly divide the Word.

James 1:26 is personal. It starts with if any "man". It doesnt say if any church... this church is in apostasy.

The next verses, a person's tongue can defile the whole body. Thats why there is Matthew 18. Ephesians 4:26. The body here is not the church body. Its the person as a whole. These verses are all about the persons tongue that can be a source of problems. The only way the persons tongue can defile the whole church body doctrinally is when the tongue is allowed to speak false teachings inside the church and is just allowed to spread like a fire then now the tongue is the cause of apostasy and church has become babylon. Personal weaknesses of members (tongue issue personal) in the church does not defile the church because if its the case then its like saying your inability to bridle your tongue in certain situations can also defile the church and we must leave the church because of your unbridled tongue? No we dont believe that way thats unbiblical. Regarding unbridled tongue, God still has a guide to follow. If one wounds his fellow brethren, he has to follow Matthew 18 pls read this page to know more. If you are mad at someone because of something he has done, you have to also follow Ephesians 4:26 and apply Matthew 18 to the one who hurt you.

Just like a marriage relationship. Any problem with the tongue with the spouse is not a basis for divorce or separation. Just like what happened in mindanao before should have we thrown you out because of what has been said by you and that someone was crying and hurt? Just like our relationship with God. Anything we say that hurts God is not a basis that He will leave us. He will allow us to reason and talk to Him and repent.

Whoever is preaching that the mans tongue on a personal weakness is a basis for church separation will never be able to live or deal with other people as a church body because one day there will be an issue with the tongue and he will continue to separate from any church relationship or else he will become hypocrite if he sticks with other people's unbridled mouth while intolerant to others. This is now a form of favoritism and we both know is an evil trait and if neglected to work on, personal apostasy and falling away will be the result.

Here are 2 scenarios:

1. able to bridle the tongue:
KJV James 3:2, 6
2 For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body. --- this man is able to bridle his whole body, this is a personal level and not involving the church AS A BODY. His perfection cannot make the other members of the church perfect for NOT everyone in the church has overcome the problem with the tongue. Everyone struggles differently.

2. not able to bridle the tongue:
James 3:⁶ And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell. --- same thing, on a PERSONAL LEVEL OR AS AN INDIVIDUAL, the person cannot bridle his own tongue can defile his whole body. Ecclesiastes 5:6 "Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin;" His inability to bridle his tongue does not make the church body defile EXCEPT when he starts to preach false beliefs and it spreads like wildfire accepted by the church body. Now, his tongue is the cause of the doctrinal apostasy of the church body. This is the separation that is justified by God (tongue that preached apostasy)

Therefore, if you decide to leave the church of God for any other basis other than apostasy, your separation is not justified by God. He has not led you to go down that path. Thus saith the Lord, you come out or separate from Babylon. What makes the church babylon is not because of one member or two who has weaknesses or cannot bridle their tongue.
