[TruthTalk] Yo, LANCE -- 1 in more than 100,000

[Chris Barr]

\o/ !HALALU Yah! \o/  Greetings Lance in the Matchless Name of YahShua [that's the name Jesus was called by His mom, dad, brothers, sisters, disciples and others who loved Him] !!   Almost 20 years ago, prolific songwriter Michael Card wrote and sang on his 'Present Reality' recording, "We've made You in our image so our faith's idolatry".  Michael has since that become a Sabbath keeper.   As for me, I offer 'readings' of Scripture that originate, with the aid of the Holy Spirit but that did not happen until I removed myself from the traditions and extra-Biblical writings of man.   When Sabbath, Feasts and New Moon observance FOR TODAY was shown me in Scripture by The Ruach ha Kadosh ("the Holy Spirit") my parents said, "You've been reading Seventh Day Adventist materials".  NOPE ... just Scripture.  Never read any SDA materials for many, MANY years thereafter.  Still have read almost nothing originating from that group.   I've shown many a Sabbath keeper (raised up in Sabbath keeping) things about Sabbath that they've never seen.   I ditched pagan holidays, birthdays, and blood at the behest of that same Ruach and my parents said, "You've been reading JW material."  NOPE, again ... just Scripture.  Recently a JW has joined with our growing group and he is amazed at all "the truth" I hold without any JW influence.   I could go on and on.   My father was raised Roman Catholic.  He married my Easter Star mother in a Roman Catholic ceremony.  Before long they were no longer attending church.   When I was 4 I attended Assembly of God 'Vacation Bible School'.   When I was 5 I observed from the hallway as my parents recited "The Sinner's Prayer" with a local pastor.  I said it with them.   I was raised up thereafter in the IFCA (Independent Fundamentalist Christians of America) and Baptist "traditions" (of men) into adulthood.   Obedience to The Words from The Word of The Almighty via YirmeYah (Jeremiah) 29:13 has brought The TRUTH of The Almighty to me from His Ruach ha Kadosh.   I came to understand Plato's (and much other pagan) influences upon 'Christianity' more than 20 years ago and ditched them.   "CONTINUE ye in My Word and ye shall be FREE indeed."   Great words.   Ahava b' YahShua (Love in The SAVIOUR) Baruch YHVH, (Bless The LORD)   Chris a servant of YHVH   ----- Original Message ----- From: Lance Muir To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 06/04/2004 4:15 AM Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] (no subject) 3. no PS When you read the posts of those on TT you will hear behind their words preachers, books, pamphlets (similar to the one given to you), 'traditions' (that dreaded word again). Not 1 in 1,000 nay, 100,000 will offer 'readings' of Scripture that originate, with the aid of the Holy Spirit, with themselves. It just doesn't happen. I believe that many live in denial of this apparent reality.
