SAINT VALENTINE

           Who was Saint Valentine?  He was a priest of the Roman Catholic Church, 200 years after the New Testament.  That right there should should stop you from having anything to do with the Day named after a Roman Catholic Priest... almost nothing is known about Valentine's Life.  This day is not mentioned in the Bible.  It is a man made Holiday and not a Christian Biblical Holiday.  It is said Valentine was a martyr executed because he was a Christian.  Roman Catholic Churches are neither protestant nor are they Christian.  They worship idols, the people pray to the priests, and confess their sins.  Priest are said to have the power to forgive sins.  Christ is the High Priest, and his father God are the only ones who can take away your sins.  The priests are not God nor are they the Lord Jesus Christ.  The second commandment of the 10 says, "Thou Shalt Not make unto you any graven images, or any likeness of any thing in the heaven above or in the earth beneath.  Thou shalt not bow down to them nor worship them or serve them.  God is a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the father's unto their children, unto the third and fourth generations of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
          The article I took this information from says that on the Feast of Saint Valentine's Day, think of the love Christ has for you, and love you have for him as your dearest friend.  They are putting Saint Valentine equal with the Lord Jesus Christ.  Valentine is not equal with Christ, my Savior.  I do not want any part of a heathen (ungodly) celebration.  You need to look beyond the glitter and glamour of showing your love to one another or that one certain love one, on just one day throughout the year.  There are no scriptures in the Bible mentioning Saint Valentines Day.  Where does cupid and romantic love come into play on this Day? 
          This is another man made holiday the Roman Catholic Church tried to Christianize so they could draw more people into their churches.  The same as Christ-mas and Easter Sunday.  Trust only in the Word of God.  If it isn't mentioned in scriptures, have nothing to do with it.  As for me and my house, we will server the LORD and him only.

THE KINGDOM OF ISRAEL, AS ONE!

     God's people on earth was made up of the twelve tribes of Jacob and called  Israel.  When the tribes asked God for a King is when the nation officially became a Kingdom.  But God warned them that it would come with its challenges,                                                                      THE GREAT DIVIDE           In about the 10th century  BCE something took place that dramatically affected the people of Israel and still effects' them today.  It was the Great Divide.  This divide split the people into two kingdoms the northern part of the kingdom was called Israel.  The southern part of the kingdom was called Judah.            I Kings 12:16-19 tells us "And when all Israel saw that the...

THE LIFE OF SAUL/PAUL

            Paul was born a Jew of the tribe of Benjamin.  He was also a Roman Citizen.  He was born in the Roman City of Tarsus.  In those days people had dual names.  Before he was known as apostle Paul, he was known as Saul of Tarsus.  Saul was his Hebrew name, Paul was his Roman name.  As Saul before his conversion he sought out the believers in Jesus.  He would hunt them down, bind them up and take them to Jerusalem to be killed.  Jesus did not change his name at his conversion.            Saul went to the high priest asking for letters to allow him entry into the synagogues at Damascus, so he could hunt down men and women that professed to be believers in Jesus. As he began his journey, he traveled down the road to Damascus.  As he drew near to the city, suddenly a light from heaven shone around him.  He fell to the ground and he heard a voice saying, "Saul, Saul why are t...

THE BOOK OF REVELATION

Many people stay away from the Book of Revelation because they find the symbolism frightening or confusing, or both!  But the Book of Revelation was meant to be a book of comfort to those caught up in the persecution at the end of the first century, says Ms Frances Taylor.  Christians in "Rome" had been blamed by Nero I for destroying much of the city.  They were often called "cannibals" because of their Eucharistic celebrations where they shared the "body and blood of Christ."  (they symbolically used bread and fruit of the vine for the body and blood.)   Domitian was another Emperor who persecuted the Christians at the end of the century; he was most likely the emperor who earned the designation "666".  The number 7 is very often mentioned in this book, which is the number that symbolizes completion and when in threes, God.  Domitian was considered the Satan, who clamed to be God, and fell short for the Christian, the greater danger was the los...
