The traditions of God are not the same as the traditions of men. It is God that calls us to worship him on the seventh day. Does this mean that's a tradition of men when mankind follows that teaching, a very teaching that's in the scripture.
It is God that tells Solomon to build a Temple any explains to Solomon how it is to be built and adorned. If we build other places of worship and follow in the same procedure, that they are adorned for the glory of God. Are we then following man's Traditions or are we following the Traditions that are set in place by God.
The Levites were chosen by God to be the priests of the most high. God has never taken away that, that there should be priests as Servants of the one true Shepherd. So there are still priest that serve and preach the word. Just as there are ministers who do the same in other churches. These are the continuation of the Levites of old. They are the ones that have been called to minister the word of God. Is this a tradition of men, or is this God's tradition?
Even the cups and the Bulls that were used in the old Temple of Solomon. These are the very things that God has ordained to be. And yet people call them the tradition of men, when it is truly the tradition of the Most High
My friend, do not be deceived by a person that will not listen to anything in Scripture. Even though he is shown it to be of scripture.
For we were all baptized by one Spirit so as to form one body—whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free—and we were all given the one Spirit to drink.
For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.
One person considers one day more sacred than another; another considers every day alike. Each of them should be fully convinced in their own mind.
Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God
Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.
When there are many words, transgression is unavoidable,
But he who restrains his lips is wise.
For there are many rebellious men, empty talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision
Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world
Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye 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.....
Then many worship YH how n when they want.. they go to a temple once a week n consider that's is good enough while not doing what we as the children of YH are called to do.. many depend on other men to plant seeds many buy the words of man instead of spending time with Abba themselves.. I myself will have church every day with others n not in temples..I'm always asked to leave or i am just not welcomed or the dude in charge is just talking ear candy..
Is it Evil to do good on the Sabbath???
N this is what Abba tells His children...
Is not this the fast that I have chosen: to loose the bonds of wickedness, to undo the bands of the yoke, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke? Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house?
Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will perish by following their example of disobedience.
For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.
Hope all's well with ya.. hubby is thriving along able to eat n all!!
