Profit in business rates over self ethics, the end justifies the means.
5th Century Patrick the Irish Patron Saint
The Old Testament went out when Jesus replaced laws & judgment with grace - 'Love God & love your neighbors'.
God does NOT have a destructive side, only love, grace, mercy & forgiveness.
I believe we should worship together on Sunday.
Is God or Satan in charge the last milleniums?
According to the Christian Bible, the newly created humans chose Satan over God. So Satan took over in the Garden of Eden when Eve and Adam sinned.
Satan has been given the chance to be in charge of humanity and life on earth for 6,000 years to show everyone if he can perform well and back up all his promises. See the scriptures below that indicate Satan is still in charge. Do not blame God for the deteriorating mess we are in!
We can by now clearly see where his leadership has taken us. We are on the ropes.
Satan’s time might be up in 25 years. He has not done well. Things are a big mess. Living for making a profit, gaining and maintaining power – Such a life will NOT gain you eternal life.
God said He would then take over the ruler-ship again, starting with a 7th millennium of rest and learning. If Bible prophecy is accurate, then things will end badly very shortly, but then we begin a perfect and abundant life again for an eternity!
Ezekiel 28:11,12 “I exposed you before kings, to feast their eyes on you. By the multitude of your iniquities, in the unrighteousness of your trade, you profaned your sanctuaries.”
Matthew 10:7
And as you go around preach, saying “The Kingdom of heaven is at hand. {10:8} Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils”.
Matthew 10:28
Fear him Satan who is able to destroy both soul & body in hell.
Matthew 17:18
And Jesus rebuked the devil; and the devil departed out of the child who was cured from that very hour.
John 12:31
“Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince Satan of this world be cast out.”
John 13:27
And after taking the sop Satan entered into him. Then Jesus said to Judas, What you do, do quickly.
John 16:11
Of judgment, because the prince of this world Satan is judged.
Acts 4:12
“At Calvary provision was made for men & women to escape from the Devil’s prison house.”
Ephesians 2:2,3
Evil Prince of the air.
{2:2} Wherein in time past you walked according to the course of this world, according to Satan the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now works in the children of disobedience: {2:3} Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
{6:11} Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. {6:12} For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
I Timothy
{3:6} Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil. {3:7} Moreover he must have a good report of they who are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.
{4:1} Now the Holy Spirit speaks expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing demon spirits, and doctrines of devils.
{2:26} And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who has taken them captive as they willed.
{5:15} For some are already turned aside and follow Satan.
I Thess 2:18 “… but Satan hindered Paul & his companions.”
3:5 “For this cause, when I could no longer forbear, I sent to know your faith, lest by some means the tempter has tempted you, and our labor be in vain.”
II Thessalonians 2:3 warns: "Let no man deceive you: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition (Apollyon, Apollo)." So The Antichrist will be the progeny or incarnation of Apollo.
Revelation 12:12 “Satan is rising in great wrath, because he knows that he has but a short time."
Rev 18:2
And he cried out with a mighty voice, saying, "Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great! She has become a dwelling place of demons and a prison for every unclean spirit and hateful bird. Come out of her.”
Are Satan's demons possessing addicted people nowadays ??

a little on the Crucifixion (Passover a day later for Jews)
When Jesus died, annual Bible holidays went out.
JESUS COMING BACK FROM THE DEAD
IS A HISTORICAL FACT
English scholar Westcott said ”There is no historic incident better or more variously supported than the resurrection of Christ.”
The stone weighed over a ton that was rolled down into position to cover the entrance of the tomb Jesus was buried in. Shifts of 100 soldiers were assigned by the Roman masters to guard this sealed tomb to make sure Jesus did not emerge after 3 days, as He claimed.
When Jesus DID resurrect, then even his enemies had to admit that he came back to life out of that carefully guarded tomb.
If the resurrection didn’t take place, Jesus’ disciples would not have gone to a horrible death claiming such faith and hope. These men were witnesses of His resurrected life, which turned these heart-broken followers of a crucified rabbi into courageous witnesses and martyrs of the early Christian church. Foisting a miserable fabrication upon the world just would have made no sense.
The disciples of Jesus were defeated cowards that hid in an upper room one day, and a few days later transformed into an evangelical force that no manner of persecution could silence. Tertullian: “No disciple would have been willing to die unless he knew he had truth on his side.”
Who would die for a lie? The dramatic transformations of Jesus’ apostles is testimony for the validity of His claims. The 11 followers of Jesus died martyr’s deaths, crucified and stoned because of their belief in His resurrection after 3 days in a tomb.
Jesus might not be just one of a small group of master teachers. No other religious leader has come back from the dead. Not Buddha, not Mohammed, not Confucius.
Only Jesus has an empty tomb. You cannot name another. Evolutionists should not ignore the established historical fact that Jesus came back from death.

Leviticus 23: 10-12
“After 40 years, when you make it into Canaan and each year reap a barley harvest, sacrifice an undamaged lamb. Then on the Sunday after the 1st spring full moon, bring a sheaf of barley stalks to the Levite Priest who will wave it before God.” There was more than one strand (Jesus), there was a sheaf, a handful (of righteous humans).
This Old Testament Covenant Wave Sheaf holiday foreshadowed the resurrection of Jesus and (24?) others in 27 AD.
Matthew 27: 52, 53
“Other graves had opened also. Many saint’s bodies which slept arose (24 elders from all different ages?) After the Resurrection of Jesus, they also went into Jerusalem and witnessed to many.”
This scripture should be moved and inserted between Matthew 28: 7, 8 which makes this earthquake activated grave opening clearer.
Did these others die again, or ASCEND separately from Jesus 40 days after they too resurrected? Matthew does not say.
