The New Testament Greek word translated “sorcery” is pharmakeia, which is the source of our English word pharmacy. In Paul’s day, the word primarily meant “dealing in poison” or “drug use” and was applied to divination and spell-casting because sorcerers often used drugs along with their incantations and amulets to conjure occult power.

Yup and with the "Planneddemic", the Johnson & Johnson, Physer and Moderna "Jab" was in fact Sorcery / Witchcraft that was done to people. You're quoting Revelation 18:23. The FDA gave this Jab "emergency use authorization" and at first it was voluntary and then it became mandatory. In New York City alone, something like 3,000 workers were terminated from their jobs for refusing to comply with these Vaccine Mandates and were Blacklisted. Around the same time, the mayor of Chicago fired about half of the police force, because they too wouldn't get the Jab. (These Covid 19 Vaccine mandates were a "Dress Rehearsal" by Satan, to force people to accept the Mark of the Beast) This "Elixir" that was the Vaccine, is Poison and I didn't take this Elixir, knowing that it was the "Medicine" of the Beast. (The Pope of Rome is the "Puppet Master" behind the scenes pulling the strings) "Billy G" (Bill Gates) owns the patents to all three of these Jabs and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation was one of the biggest financial contributors of Joe Biden's 2020 Presidential Campaign, as well as "Big Pharma". Now that President Biden is incumbent, there's going to be another Global "Plannedemic" called "Disease X". This pestilence will have a mortality rate of 75%, according to Tetros Ghebreyesus, the chief doctor of the WHO. They're planning these pestilences in advance to "depopulate" this planet in order to achieve "Net Zero", as this is part of the WEF's agenda for the Great Reset. (Satan's counterfeit of God's Perfect Order) Happy Sabbath and God bless, Jesus is coming back soon.

Amen & Amen, Gentlemen👍🏼 Let God be our comfort: He will bring us around to His will. Wait on the Lord and be of good courage. 💘💗🙏🏼

When you adopt Evangelical interpretations to the resurrection of Jesus, you are departed from the truth... 🤔 Terror seized the Roman guard. Where was now their power to keep the body of Jesus? They did not think of their duty or of the disciples' stealing Him away. As the light of the angels shone around, brighter than the sun, that Roman guard fell as dead men to the ground. One of the angels laid hold of the great stone and rolled it away from the door of the sepulcher and seated himself upon it. The other entered the tomb and unbound the napkin from the head of Jesus. Then the angel from heaven, with a voice that caused the earth to quake, cried out, "Thou Son of God, Thy Father calls Thee! Come forth." Death could hold dominion over Him no longer. Jesus arose from the dead, a triumphant conqueror. In solemn awe the angelic host gazed upon the scene. And as Jesus came forth from the sepulcher, those shining angels prostrated themselves to the earth in worship, and hailed Him with songs of victory and triumph. [EW 182.1]

It's very obvious that many do not read these books carefully, or their Bibles. She never authored the 1888 or 1911 Great Controversy's either.

Ecclesiasticus 38:23 says more than enough about our loved ones who have passed.

God is the beginning and the end, so every thing has already been done, so he's already returned and already raised the dead ? god is out side space and time? I don't know it's just a thought!

Is it OK to be cremated ?? I’m confused👀

Very good video, the dead no not anything. But you are mistaken, God the Father raised Jesus from the dead. Jesus did NOT raise Himself, for He was dead. Acts 2:22-24, 32. 1 Corinthians 6:14.

Didn't Jesus say destroy this temple meaning his body and I will raise it on the third day .

5:10 "Even if you have to change your understanding to fit with the book rather than what you want to believe." This is such a profound statement. I assume he means the bible and not the Great Controversy. Most people want to believe things that allow them to remain comfortable but the bible contains so much that contradicts this world's "Christianity" - 95% of which comes from Catholicism - that studying scripture, and not reading into it (eisegesis) what one has already become comfortable with, is very difficult. I don't know how SDAs got so far off track when it comes to God's Sabbaths. They recognize what Catholicism has done to the weekly Sabbath but fall right in line with Catholicism and her protesting daughters when it comes to the other Sabbaths of the LORD listed in Levitcus 23. Can anyone explain to me why? The ceremonial law argument is not convincing since their were ceremonial offerings on the weekly Sabbath as well. Numbers 28:9-10 "And on the SABBATH DAY two lambs of the first year without spot, and two tenth deals of flour for a meat offering, mingled with oil, and the drink offering thereof: This is the BURNT OFFERING OF EVERY SABBATH, beside the continual burnt offering, and his drink offering. Obviously Jesus replaced all ceremonial symbols and gave instructions about how to remember Him every year at Passover but that doesn't mean those days don't remain as memorials and Sabbaths. 1 Cor 11:23-25 "For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same NIGHT in which he was betrayed took bread: And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: THIS DO IN REMEMBRANCE OF ME. After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: THIS DO do ye, as oft as ye drink it, IN REMEMBRANCE OF ME. Exodus 12:13-14 "And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt. And this day shall be unto you for a MEMORIAL; and ye shall keep it a feast to the LORD throughout your generations; ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance for ever." 7:40 The bible says God (theos the Father) raised Jesus: Act 2:32 This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses. View more Act 4:10 Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole. View more Act 10:40 Him God raised up the third day, and shewed him openly; View more Act 13:30 But God raised him from the dead: View more Act 13:37 But he, whom God raised again, saw no corruption

The reason we no longer observe the feast sabbaths and holy days is because those laws were hand written ordinances that was written by Moses. They were known as ceremonial laws. The Bible states we no longer have to observe these laws because Christ served as the propitiation for our sins. When he died on the cross he represented the lamb that was slain and his blood was shed for us. The reason the Israelite had to observe those laws was due to there disobedience and following other people and their practices of worshiping false Gods, giving their children over to be sacrificed and burned instead of being the example and teaching them about God. We observe his death and resurrection by the eating of bread (meat) and drink as a remembrance for his sacrifice for our sins. We no longer have to sacrifice bulls and goats that really didn’t suffice the shedding of their blood that did not save us or make us perfect. It was a shadow of what Christ death represented. Ephesians 2:15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace; Colossians 2:14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;

@@Terrylee7712 Thank you for taking the time to answer. I'm not sure you read my whole comment. I know the reason people reject the appointed times of the LORD, called feasts, in Leviticus 23 and elsewhere, is that they mistakenly believe them to be "ceremonial laws" because there were ceremonies involving sacrifices - shadows of the real sacrifice - Jesus Christ Himself. But there were sacrifices on the weekly Sabbath as well. Paul tells us Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us so we are to KEEP the feast of unleavened bread - not the old way but a new way. He could easily have said Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us so we no longer have to keep the feast - but that's NOT what he said. 1 Cor 5:7-8 "Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us: Therefore let us KEEP the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. God gave mankind days to keep holy called appointed times or feasts of the LORD including the weekly Sabbath. Why would anyone abandon them for the holidays of this world sanctioned by the Roman Catholic Church?

@@Terrylee7712 What is the law of commandments contained in ordinances? Are you suggesting they're the commandments of God from the Old Testament? The word translated ordinance in Ephesians is the Greek word dogma. In context Paul was writing about the Jewish traditions or dogmas that created enmity between Jews and Gentiles. Think about Peter's encounter with Cornelius where he learned that Gentiles were now going to be "clean" if baptized in Christ. Also, Mark 7:5-9 "Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashen hands? He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do. And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition." In Ephesians 2:11-16, Paul is showing the hostile relationship between Jews and Gentiles before the coming of Christ. He points out the enmity was mainly a result of the traditions of the Jews not the commandments of God. Man cannot cancel the commandments of God but God can and did cancel the commandments of the traditions of the elders. One must always discern between the manmade rules of Judaism and the laws of God.

@@johnnytangent2849 No, the Pharisees twisted what God Commandments represented. The washing of pots and cups was their traditions. Another example was them trying to reprimand Jesus for healing on the Sabbath. Also, when he healed the man that was sitting by the pool of Bethesda and told him to take up his bed and walk. Their response was the man shouldn’t be carrying his bed on the Sabbath. Jesus reply to them if your ass fell in a ditch would you leave it or help it out of the ditch. This is want he meant of them teaching the tradition /commandments of men. Jesus never said any of the things they were teaching. This was not talking about the handwritten laws of ordinances that Moses wrote and place in the side of the Ark of the Covenant.The laws that they were talking about was centered around the weekly 7th day Sabbath because they loved to be seen in the Synagogue praying and fasting but really wasn’t sincere in what they pretended to be. That’s why Jesus called them hypocrites. 2 Chronicles 33:8 Neither will I anymore remove the foot of Israel from out of the land which I have appointed for your father so that they will take heed to do all that I have commanded them according to the whole law and the statutes and the ordinances by the hand of Moses.

Act 3,15: And killed the Prince of life, whom God has raised from the dead; of which we are witnesses. Act 4,10: ... Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead... Act 10,40: Him God raised up the third day, and showed him openly; Act 13,30: But God raised him from the dead: Act 13,33: God has fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he has raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, You are my Son, this day have I begotten you. Act 13,37: But he, whom God raised again, saw no corruption. Act 17,31: Because he has appointed a day, in which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he has ordained; and of this he has given assurance unto all men, in that he has raised him from the dead. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Matthew, this thought that Jesus raised himself from the dead is rooted in the false Trinity dogma.

I don't want to convince you of anything here. I just want to give you the truth and you do with it what you will. there are many bibles out there today with errors in them. the Bible was originally written in block form so we must go back to the origin text in these matters to be able to see errors. the Bible as a whole speaks against an immortal soul or spirit. You do not receive immortality until Christ returns and give the "reward" of eternal life. The verse you gave doesn't read like you are interpreting it. In the original text which is in harmony with the Bible over all reads like this "I tell you today, you will be with me in paradise" Jesus was simply saying, "When the resurrection occurs you will go with me to heaven" Think about this: the Bible in 1 Thessalonians says that when Christ returns He will resurrect the righteous dead and they and the righteous living will be caught up in the air and taken to heaven. If the righteous dead were already in heaven why would Christ have to come back, raise them up and take them back to heaven? Doesn't make sense does it? 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. In the context of the entire bible there is no reason to believe you have immortality for one, you don't receive immortality until Christ returns, the "reward" of eternal life is given at the return of Christ he states "my reword is with me". Revelation 22: 12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. the Bible as a whole is clear "the dead know nothing" "the dead do not worship" Ecclesiastes 9:5 For the living know they will die; but the dead do not know anything, nor have they any longer a reward, for their memory is forgotten. Psalm 115:17 The dead do not praise the Lord, Nor do any who go down into silence; 1 Thessalonians 4:15 “For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.” Lamentations 3:6 In dark places He has made me dwell, Like those who have long been dead. the Bible refers to the dead as being "asleep" when you are sleeping you are not aware you are at rest and the dead are at rest. the Bible also says the the "body returns to the dust of the earth" and the breath of life that God breaths into us to make us alive goes back to Him. The original word for "Spirit" in the following verse is "Ruach" which means "breath" so this is the breath of life that God breathed in to Adam after He formed him from the dust of the earth. Ecclesiastes 12:7-9 7 Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it. We need to study the Bible and pray and ask God for wisdom we should not trust in people for our doctrine. We are told to study the Bible not just read it, without the Holy Spirit you are hard pressed to understand what it is saying. I hope this helps! 🙏🏻

@@Roads241 oh no, it is a parable everyday all day... you know what is funny, you see that Jesus is telling this story in fluency of parables, so is surrounded back and forword by parables, but to back up this pagan doctrine of the inmortal soul/councious life after death, everyone thinks that, no this is not a parable like the others told previously, is a real story....ye sure... You know what, same people who are doing this out o context thing with this parable, are the same with those that are saying that 4th commandment is fullfiled buy Jesus, or it is a ceremonial law, and we shouldn t keep that sabath, though it is surrounded by the other 9 commandments written by the God's finger, which everybody has no problem with...is the exactly same thing... Oh God, have mercy of this people cuz they don't know what they do, and pour light and wisdom in their life! 🥺🙏🙏🙏

What parts of the story make you think it's not a parable? For example, do you think a drop of water would make it from heaven to hell? Wouldn't the water evaporate? Also, if the drop of water made it, would it have been able to cool the rich man's tongue? Also, do you think those in heaven communicate with those who are in hell? How would those in heaven have peace, knowing that those in hell are seeking to contact them for favours?

@@prayerpower1585 Jesus said to Nicodemus "If I have told you earthly things...etc" John 3:12-14. Dives and Lazarus story was told to Pharisees so they would know their heart condition. Parables were for disciples to know but not for others, Matthew 13:10-12. The parables need interpretation, the story of Lazarus does not. I know it as a story...by faith, as by faith you know it as a parable. Have Peace in your understanding, as I have Peace in mine. Maranatha!
