L-6. MUST A WOMAN'S HEAD BE COVERED? The Bible gives us a PROPHECY in Amos 8:11 that there will be a FAMINE in the land but NOT a famine of bread or famine of water that causes thirst but rather a famine of HEARING the word of Almighty God.
Amos 8:11.
“Behold, the days come, says the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, NOT a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of HEARING the words of the LORD:”
Every false teaching in the many different church denominations USE verses of Scripture that are, indeed, in the Bible. And those Scriptures are the words of the Lord, but they are not the WHOLE word of God. Rather, they are verses of Scripture that are taken out of their context to try and support what their church denomination says is the truth. So then WHICH church denomination is the one true church? I mean most every church denomination makes the CLAIM that they alone have the truth, but anyone with a brain who thinks things through for themselves knows that they ALL cannot be the ONE true church since they ALL have DIFFERENT teachings. Now, there are some church denominations and groups of Christians who teach and even demand that the woman in their church must have their heads covered and they CLAIM that the covering of the woman’s head in the church is taught in the Bible. Well, let us see if their CLAIM is true? Let us see if they are using the WHOLE word of God or if they are taking verses OUT of their CONTEXT? Here is the passage of Scripture that they use to teach that their women must have a veil on their head while they are in the church building, while they are praying, and while they are prophesying. SOME churches demand that the woman’s head must be covered at all times. Let us first read 1 Corinthians 11:1-10 OUT of CONTEXT and then we will read the whole context.
1 Corinthians 11:1-10.
“Be you, followers of me, even as, I also am of Christ. 2. Now I praise you, brethren, that you remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances, as I DELIVERED them to you. 3. But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man, and the head of Christ is God. 4. Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonors his head. 5. But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonors her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven. 6. For if the woman is not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered. 7. For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man. 8. For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man. 9. Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man. 10. For this cause, ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels.”
Now, if verse 6 is ALL that a Christian is taught from the Bible then it would APPEAR as if Paul is teaching the church that women MUST have their head covered. BUT this is NOT what the WHOLE word of God teaches us. Let us read the same passage of Scripture again, but this time let us KEEP ON reading the entire CONTEXT. And while you are reading I will make some comments in the words of how we would speak today because the King James Version in Old English is sometimes hard to understand.
1 Corinthians 11:1-17.
“Be you, followers of ME, EVEN as, I also am of Christ. (Or even as I have learned from Jesus Christ, so I have TAUGHT you, so follow that which I have already TAUGHT you. We know that this is what Paul is saying because in the next verse Paul says to keep only the ordinances that he himself has already DELIVERED them. In other words, Paul is saying, obey what I am teaching you and NOT what the Judaizing Jewish Christians are subverting you to follow) 2. Now I praise you, brethren, that you remember ME in all things (The things that I myself have already TAUGHT to you), and keep the ordinances, AS I DELIVERED them to you. (PAST tense which is showing us that verses 3-10 is NOT any ordinance that the Apostle Paul himself or ANY other church fellowship has taught them) 3. But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; (Now in words of today, we would say something like, now I would have you know that I am not ignorant of what the Old Covenant teaches) and the head of the woman is the man, and the head of Christ is God. (In other words, Paul is speaking after the CUSTOMS of the Jews which view the women UNDER the men. And Christians who use these verses to wrongly teach that women are NOT to be pastors or those women are not to hold any offices in the church, take verses 3-10 OUT of their CONTEXT) 4. Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonors his head. 5. But every woman that prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven. 6. For if the woman is not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered. 7. For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man. 8. For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man. 9. Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man. 10. For this cause, ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels. 11. NEVERTHELESS (Or what Jesus Christ himself is teaching us under the New Covenant is that) neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord. (In other words, any and every woman who is a Christian being IN our Lord Jesus Christ is COVERED by the blood of Jesus. For you see, IN Jesus Christ there is NO MORE male NOR female but ALL are ONE being in the Lord. See Galatians 3:28 which are ALSO the words of Paul. “There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for you are ALL ONE IN Christ Jesus.”) 12. For as the woman is of the man, even so, is the man also by the woman; BUT all things of God. (This is what the Apostle Paul and the whole church teaches. There is NO such teaching IN the church that a woman’s head MUST be covered. Paul is simply CORRECTING the error that was being taught by the Jewish Judaizing Christians that were wrongly teaching Christians to keep all the Law of Moses contained in ORDINANCES and all the Jewish CUSTOMS as well) 13. You judge in yourselves, is it comely for a woman to pray unto God uncovered? (Or answer this question of ‘Is it acceptable to God for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered? YOU decide. Then Paul brings forth the point that in nature or in God’s creation women have long hair which is the natural covering that God has already given to them) 14. Does not even nature itself teach you, that if a man has long hair, it is a shame unto him? 15. But if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her: FOR (Or BECAUSE) her HAIR is given her for a covering. (So then, the wearing of the head covering under the Old Covenant was a SHADOW pointing to Jesus who is our covering for ALL who believe in Jesus whether male or female. Now, please do not take Paul’s words of women having LONG hair out of CONTEXT either and start dogmatically demanding that it is a sin for women to CUT their hair and for a man to NOT have LONG hair. There is NO DIFFERENCE between a MALE or a FEMALE in the sight of God under the New Covenant. Therefore, if a man wants to have LONG hair down to the ground that is fine with God and if a woman wants to shave her head then that is fine with God. HAIR does not commend us to God) 16. But if any man seems to be contentious, WE (The Apostles of Jesus Christ who are eyewitnesses of Jesus and taught directly by Jesus) have NO SUCH CUSTOM, neither the churches of God. (In other words, Paul is saying, “to tell you the truth, you here at the church of Corinth and other churches in Asia are the ONLY church fellowships that are teaching this CUSTOM of the Old Testament demanding that women cover their heads.” The Ephesian church was also teaching CUSTOMS as well BUT the Ephesian church was teaching BOTH the Jewish customs AND some of the GENTILE customs. Please read the studies under the heading >>>CAN WOMEN BE PASTORS?<<< Now, in the church today, pretty much every seventh day of the week Sabbath keeping church teaches this Old Testament CUSTOM that their women’s heads must be covered. But this is NOT what the Bible itself teaches us under the NEW Covenant written in the New Testament) 17. Now in this that I declare unto you (The word declare is in the present tense so what follows is a new subject matter. This new subject matter is related, in that, just as the Corinthian church was NOT keeping ONLY the ordinances that Paul HIMSELF had ALREADY taught to them but they were also WRONGLY keeping the ordinance of communion which is what Paul addresses next in the following verses where Paul is NOT pleased with them as well on that matter either) I praise you not, that you come together not for the better, but for the worse.”
So then, what ELSE do we learn from this CORRECT teaching and CORRECT understanding of Paul’s words? We learn that ANY church denomination that teaches that the women MUST have their heads COVERED are NOT following and obeying the TRUE Gospel of Jesus Christ even though they THINK and sincerely believe that they ALONE have the truth. Now, I was not so concerned with Christians being deceived on what, to ME, would be considered a minor point until I came across a church that began in South Korea called the World Mission Society Church of God abbreviated as WMSCG. What I mean to say is that I cringed when I saw a dear sister in the Lord become subverted by the 119 Ministries to keep the Law of Moses under the OLD Covenant and the Jewish CUSTOMS to wear a veil covering her head and her daughter's heads but I dismissed it at first as a “passing fad” that would fade away in a short amount of time. But the Hebrew Roots Movement has not faded away as I previously thought it would have. DECEPTION can be very strong in some Christians and it is not always easy for those who are being deceived to SEE that THEY are the ones being deceived by doctrines of Devils. As for me, I cringe in my spirit, being witnessed to me by the Holy Spirit that they have fallen from the true faith of Jesus Christ. But I really cringed in my spirit when I heard of the WMSCG which teaches that Jesus returned in 1948 and not only that but Mother God came with him to give ONLY those who believe in both Father God AND Mother God that SHE, Mother God, give them eternal life.
Please read 2 Corinthians 11:1-4.
“Would to God YOU (Who are in the WMSCG or any other seventh day of the week Sabbath-keeping church denomination) could bear with me a little in my folly: and indeed bear with me. (In other words, I IMPLORE all of you my readers and seekers of the truth who are a member in the World Mission Society Church of God or any other Messianic Jewish Hebrew Roots Movement to please hear me out to hear the WHOLE matter of the WHOLE word of Almighty God the Father and his Son Jesus Christ in who you say that you believe) 2. For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to ONE husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ. (What I want you to see here in this verse is that every believer in Jesus Christ is espoused or promised in marriage to Jesus Christ at his coming again. This means that the BODY of Jesus Christ, which is the church, is the promised BRIDE of Jesus Christ who WILL be the WIFE of Jesus Christ at the second coming of Jesus. The BRIDE of Jesus Christ is NOT a so-called Mother God as those of you are wrongly being taught in the WMSCG fellowship) 3. But I fear ( Or I cringe in my spirit by the witness of the Holy Spirit who dwells in me), lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtility, so your minds should be corrupted from the SIMPLICITY that is IN Christ. 4. For if he that comes preaching another Jesus, whom WE (Speaking of the original apostles of Jesus Christ) have NOT preached, OR if you receive another spirit, which you have NOT received, OR another gospel, which you have not accepted, you might well bear with him.”
What Paul is saying here is that he FEARS that when FALSE teachers come that some MIGHT believe what they are teaching. So to know for sure what they are teaching is OF God then it MUST agree and NEVER contradict what the Apostle of Jesus Christ teaches us in the NEW Testament under the NEW Covenant. And what the WMSCG is teaching is NOT what the WHOLE word of God teaching us as TRUE BORN AGAIN Christians under the NEW Covenant written in the New Testament I have already shown you how your teachers have HELD BACK the WHOLE word of God from you by taking selected verses OUT of their CONTEXT to wrongly teach you that there is a Mother God. Please read another study that God has directed me to write called 4. Is THERE A MOTHER GOD? You can read that study now and come back to this study or you can finish this study and then read the above-linked study. Right now in this study, I want to show you from the words of Jesus himself that the one claiming to be the Christ who appeared in South Korea in 1948 was NOT Jesus. Please read Matthew 24:4,5 and Matthew 24:23-27 CORRECTLY by understanding the CONTEXT.
Matthew 24:4,5.
“And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that NO MAN deceive you. 5, For many, shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. (Or many MEN shall come CLAIMING to be Jesus Christ himself so do NOT be DECEIVED by these MEN)
Matthew 24:23-27.
“Then if any MAN shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it NOT. 24. For (Or BECAUSE) there shall arise FALSE Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. (So do not think that YOU are ABOVE being DECEIVED. But here in this passage of Scriptures, Jesus HIMSELF is teaching us HOW NOT to be DECEIVED by any man CLAIMING that he is Jesus and how NOT to be deceived by false prophets CLAIMING that Jesus has RETURNED as he has promised) 25. Behold, (Pay attention) I have told you before. (How NOT to be deceived by these FALSE Christ and FALSE teachers) 26. Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go NOT forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it NOT. (WHY? Why are we NOT to believe ANY MAN who says that Jesus has RETURNED?) 27. FOR (or BECAUSE) AS the LIGHTNING (Or AS or in the SAME manner AS the LITERAL BOLT of LIGHTNING) comes out of the east, and shines even unto the west, SO shall ALSO the COMING of the Son of man BE.”
In other words, NO MAN will need to tell ANYONE that he has come for EVERY EYE shall SEE for themselves the return of Jesus coming in great clouds of glory in fiery vengeance to execute the WRATH of Almighty God. There is NO SECRET coming of Jesus BEFORE his second coming to execute the WRATH of Almighty God upon the wicked who will MOURN when they see his coming. Also, please understand that FALSE Christ means those who CLAIM that they are ANOINTED of God but in truth, they are NOT teaching under the ANOINTING of Almighty God. They may not claim to be Jesus Christ himself but they CLAIM to be ANOINTED of God when they are NOT anointed of God. Please read a little more CONTEXT to understand WHEN Jesus will return to rapture the church.
Matthew 24:29-32.
“IMMEDIATELY AFTER the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: 30. And THEN shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and THEN shall ALL the tribes of the earth MOURN, and they shall SEE the Son of man coming IN THE CLOUDS of heaven WITH power and great glory. 31. AND he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, AND they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. (Which is speaking of the rapture of the church being CAUGHT UP into the AIR to MEET Jesus in the AIR when he RETURNS.) 32. Now learn (These words teaches us that a new subject is being talked about in the following verses) a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender and puts forth leaves, you know that summer is nigh:”
Now, I am fully aware that there are some who are teaching that the great tribulation has already been fulfilled in 1948. Please read the study X-6. Did the GREAT TRIBULATION END in1948? for all the verses that prove beyond any shadow of a doubt that the great tribulation was NOT fulfilled in 1948. But for now, let me show you from the Bible ITSELF that it is IMPOSSIBLE for Jesus to have ALREADY returned in 1948 or at ANY other time.
Please read Acts 3:20,21.
“And he (Almighty God the Father) SHALL SEND Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you: (Speaking of the coming or the return of Jesus at the END of this present age that is called by some as the age of the CHURCH) 21. Whom the heaven MUST RECEIVE UNTIL the times of restitution of all things, which God has spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.”
In other words, it is IMPOSSIBLE for Jesus to RETURN to the earth at any time BEFORE he returns to set up his KINGDOM on the earth to rule and reign with a ROD of IRON for 1000 years. And by the prophets of old, we KNOW that we are NOT IN the 1000 year reign of Jesus BECAUSE there are still WARS being fought on the earth.
Please read Isaiah 2:2-4.
“And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD'S house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it. 3. And many people shall go and say, Come you, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and HE will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. 4. And HE shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks: nation shall NOT lift up sword against nation, NEITHER shall they LEARN WAR ANYMORE.”
Has this HAPPENED YET? NO! It has NOT come to pass as yet which proves beyond any shadow of a doubt that Jesus is STILL yet IN Heaven and whoever came in 1948, CLAIMING to be Christ, was NOT Jesus. When the TRUE Jesus returns he will rapture his BRIDE, the church first. Then when we, WITH Jesus IN the AIR, we will help Jesus execute the WRATH upon all the wicked. After the WRATH of God has been poured out a remnant of Israel and a remnant of the nations will repent and call upon Jesus to be saved alive. God will lift his wrath as prophesied and those who call upon the name of the Lord to be saved AT his COMING will be saved alive in their MORTAL bodies and go into the 1000 year reign of Jesus where they will be TAUGHT to learn war NO MORE.
Please read Micah 4:1-4.
“But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the house of the LORD shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow unto it. 2. And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, and to the house of the God of Jacob, and HE will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the law shall go forth of Zion and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. 3. And HE shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong nations afar off, and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks: nation shall NOT lift up a sword against nation, NEITHER shall they learn WAR ANYMORE. 4. But they shall sit every man under his vine (Speaking of the church and the true teachings of Jesus in the New Testament) and under his fig tree (Speaking of the remnant of Israel learning the SHADOWS of the Old Testament are pointing to Jesus as their Messiah), and none shall make them AFRAID: for the mouth of the LORD of hosts has spoken it.”
It should be clear to all who have eyes to see and ears to hear that the MAN named Ahnsahnghong, who appeared in South Korea in 1936 saying the HE was the Christ, is most definitely NOT the TRUE Jesus and therefore he is a FALSE Christ and ALL his teachings MUST be rejected as FALSE teachings. I implore you to read and study the Bible, as in, the WHOLE word of God for YOURSELF so that you will never be DECEIVED again. Now I understand that you have been taught over and over and over again and again that you MUST believe in BOTH the heavenly Father AND the heavenly Mother if you want to receive ETERNAL LIFE. So I know the fear of even questioning what you have been taught let alone denying what you have been taught as being the truth. But I know that you TRUST in what the BIBLE ITSELF teaches. So then what does the Bible ITSELF teach us? Does the Bible teach us that it is BOTH Father God AND Mother God who will give us eternal life? Let us see what the Bible ITSELF teaches us.
Please read John 4:6-14.
“Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well: and it was about the sixth hour. 7. There comes a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus says unto her, Give me to drink. 8. (For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.) 9. Then said the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that you, being a Jew, ask a drink of me, which is a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans. 10. Jesus answered and said unto her, If you KNEW the GIFT of God, and WHO it is that said to you, Give me to drink; you would have asked of him, and HE would have given you living water. 11. The woman said unto him, Sir, you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then have you that living water? 12. Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, his children, and his cattle? 13. Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinks of this water shall thirst again: 14. But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.”
So then, EVERY true born-again Believer in Jesus Christ HAS the LIVING WATER dwelling IN them right now. The LIVING water that springs up unto ETERNAL LIFE, in the world to come, IS the Eternal Holy Spirit who is DWELLING IN us. I say TRUE born again believers because there are some who SAY that they are Christians but they have NOT truly been BORN AGAIN to have the Holy Spirit DWELL IN them. They only have HEAD knowledge about Jesus and Almighty God the Father. Please notice in verse WHO is the GIVER of the LIVING WATER?
John 4:10.
“Jesus answered and said unto her, If you KNEW the GIFT of God, and WHO it is that said to you, Give me to drink; you would have asked of him, and HE would have given you living water.”
Do the very words of Jesus HIMSELF say that Mother God shall give you living water? Do the very words of Jesus HIMSELF say that SHE will give you living water? Do the words of Jesus HIMSELF say that THEY will give you living water? Do the very words of Jesus HIMSELF say that the Spirit and the Bride will give you living water? NO! The words of Jesus himself STATE as a FACT with NO interpretation needed the HE will give the living water. Also, please notice that the living water is NOT ETERNAL LIFE ITSELF but rather it is the Holy Spirit that Jesus gives to every TRUE born-again believer the moment we believe and that this living water IN us is like a well or spring of water bubbling up on the inside of us UNTO ETERNAL or everlasting life in the world to come.
Please read John 7:37-39.
“In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. 38. He that believes on me, as the scripture has said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. 39. But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.”
So then, what does Revelation 22:17 mean in the LIGHT of the WHOLE word of Almighty God?
Revelation 22:17.
“And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is a thirst come. And whosoever will let him TAKE the water of life freely.”
The ONE Eternal Spirit is the Holy Spirit who is DRAWING people to Jesus. The BRIDE is the CHURCH that is preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ. So the Holy Spirit and the CHURCH are saying to all who will hear COME and TAKE or freely receive the GIFT of Almighty God who has given the power and the authority to the Son of man, Jesus, to give to whosoever BELIEVES on him the water of life freely which IS the HOLY SPIRIT coming to DWELL IN those who BELIEVE on Jesus, the SON OF the living God. Then this verse goes on to say, and LET him that hears or receives the call of the Gospel to come and receive the GIFT of the Holy Spirit say COME or begin preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ as well. And then WHOSOEVER WILL come or answer the call of the Gospel of Jesus Christ will partake of the water of life freely that will SPRING UP unto eternal life in the world to come. Another meaning of this verse is that when the day and hour of the coming of Jesus draws near, we, the church know that our time is running out to reach the ones we know and love who are still living in sin rejecting the gospel of Jesus Christ. We do not want them to be lost but we also know that this present age of the church is ending. So the Holy Spirit in us bears witness to our Spirit to face the fact that SOME people will not accept Jesus as their Saviour so the Spirit and the bribe of Jesus Christ the church say COME, even so, COME, Lord Jesus. Please read some more CONTEXT.
Revelation 22:20.
“He (Jesus) which testifies these things says, Surely I come quickly (Like the lightning bolts that flash in an instant of time so there will be NO time to repent AT my coming. And then the Spirit and the Bribe, the church says). Amen. (Or SO BE IT even as you say) Even so, come, Lord Jesus.”
So then, what are we saying AMEN to? Let us go back and read the CONTEXT found in Revelation 22:10-17.
Revelation 22:10-17.
“And he said unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand. (Just before Jesus comes he will declare the following words to be true and just AT the MOMENT of his coming again) 11. He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still. (This mean that in whatever state a person is living in AT the MOMENT Jesus comes SO QUICKLY that there will NOT be ANY time to repent and every person will be JUDGED as HOW they are LIVING at the MOMENT when Jesus returns) 12. And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. 13. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. 14. Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the TREE of life, AND may enter in through the GATES into the CITY. (You see it will only be those of us who ALREADY HAVE the WATER of LIFE dwelling IN us who will be given the right to eat of the TREE of life which means that ONLY the true born again Christians who are found to be his good and faithful servants will be given the right to receive ETERNAL LIFE to rule and reign with Jesus over the MORTALS who repent AT the coming of Jesus when they SEE Jesus coming in great clouds of glory to make WAR on those who are killing the Christians and the Jews. Those of the nations left alive after the WRATH of God who REPENT of their sins and who call upon Jesus to spare their life will NOT enter into the CITY of God the New Jerusalem. And the word commandments here in this verse is speaking of the commandments of Jesus under the New Covenant written in the New Testament and NOT the Law of Moses contained in ORDINANCES which were abolished at the cross according to Ephesians 2:15 and Colossians 2:8-17) 15. For without (Or outside of the CITY of God) are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loves and makes a lie. (And teaching a FALSE gospel is MAKING a LIE. There are those who LOVE teaching things that NO ONE ELSE is teaching and most of the time the doctrine that they love to teach is a LIE against the word of truth the Holy Bible even though they quote a lot of Scripture.) 16. I, Jesus, have sent my angel to testify unto you these things in the CHURCHES. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star. 17. And the Spirit and the BRIDE (Who is the CHURCH) say (Or PREACH the TRUE Gospel of Jesus Christ saying), Come. And let him that hears (The TRUE Gospel of Jesus Christ now also) say, Come. And let him that is a thirst come. And whosoever will let him take the water of life freely.”
So HOW do we know for SURE that the BRIDE is the CHURCH or the SAINTS who believe in Jesus?
Please read Revelation 19:7-9.
“Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honor to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. (In order for the BRIDE of Jesus Christ to BECOME his WIFE the BRIDE must first make HERSELF READY. Her garment must be SPOTLESS white and clean. She must be found WORTHY to become the WIFE of Jesus. So then is this a literal garment like a wedding dress or is this an allegory for being RIGHTEOUS. In other words, does having a SPOTLESS garment means a literal clean wedding dress that a bride wears at a wedding, or does it mean to be found WITHOUT SIN when Jesus comes again? Keep reading the CONTEXT) 8. And to HER (The BRIDE of Jesus Christ who is about to become his WIFE) was GRANTED that SHE should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of SAINTS. 9. And he said unto me, Write, BLESSED are THEY which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb (Or BLESSED are THEY who DO the COMMANDMENTS so that THEY will be GRANTED or given the RIGHT to eat of the TREE of LIFE). And he said unto me, These are the true sayings of God.”
Trust me when I say that you will NOT be called to be married to Jesus if you do NOT ALREADY HAVE the WATER OF LIFE dwelling IN you right NOW in this present world. In other words, if you do not have the same Holy Spirit who dwelt in Jesus, dwelling in you, then you are not truly saved. Please understand that I am NOT saying that you must be filled to overflowing with the evidence of speaking in other tongues in order to be saved. Every true born again Christian has the WITNESS of the Holy Spirit dwelling IN them whether they ever speak in other tongues or not. My point right now is that the Holy Spirit IS the water of life.
Please read Romans 8:8,9.
“So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. (Jesus said in John 3 that we MUST be BORN AGAIN in order to SEE or UNDERSTAND the kingdom of God and that he that is born of the flesh is flesh. So unless a person is TRULY born of the Spirit they can not understand what the Bible teaches nor can they ENTER into the kingdom of God in the world to come) 9. But you are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, IF SO BE that the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if any man has NOT the Spirit of Christ, he is NONE of his.”
This is why I said earlier that there are some who THINK that they are true Christians but they are NOT because they have not TRULY been BORN AGAIN to UNDERSTAND the word of God.
Please read 1 Corinthians 2:9-16.
“But as it is written, Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God has prepared for them that love him. 10. BUT God HAS REVEALED them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searches all things, yea, the deep things of God. 11. For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so, the things of God knows no man, but the Spirit of God. (In other words, the spirit of Satan or the spirit of this present world cannot understand the things of God for had he known he would NOT have crucified the Lord of glory sealing his own death in the lake of fire) 12. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is OF God; that we might KNOW the things that are freely given to us of God. (God has given us his written word that we might know and understand his WILL for us) 13. Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teaches, but which the Holy Ghost teaches; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. (We must COMPARE Scripture with Scripture considering the whole CONTEXT in order to interpret Scripture correctly) 14. But the NATURAL man receives not the things OF the Spirit OF God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. (And it is very clear to ME that the TEACHERS in the World Mission Society Church of God does not have the Holy Spirit dwelling in them and if they do then they are certainly NOT hearing for the Holy Spirit what they are teaching because what they teach CONTRADICTS other parts of God’s word) 15. But he that is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. 16. For who has known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.”
Now, it can be argued till Jesus comes again, who are being taught of the Holy Spirit and who are not being taught of the Holy Spirit but what does the BIBLE ITSELF state as a FACT with NO interpretation needed as compared to what the World Mission Society Church of God INTERPRETS certain select verse being taken OUT of CONTEXT to mean? I have given you, the reader and seeker of the truth of the WHOLE word of God, more than enough SOUND BIBLICAL evidence to know that the Bible ITSELF does NOT teach us that there is a Mother God. And if YOU continue in that faith I fear that you will NOT receive eternal life in the world to come because you do NOT believe the TRUE Gospel of Jesus Christ. Please read E-7. What us the TRUE GOSPEL of Jesus CHRIST?, C-3. What does it MEAN to be BORN-AGAIN?, and 4. Is THERE A MOTHER GOD? Thanks for reading and may God bless you richly as you continue to read ALL the studies that I gave links to throughout this study concerning this subject on Sabbath TRUTH. My heartfelt prayer is that all Christians RETURN to the TRUE FOUNDATION of the church that is taught by the very Apostles of Jesus in the first century. So let us all come into the UNITY of the faith and return to what Jesus and his Apostles taught us in SIMPLICITY in the New Testament.

If you have any questions, please feel free to write to me. My contact email is MarkatAMatterOfTruth@Gmail .com. Some Sabbath-keeping Christians CLAIM that the early church kept the Sabbath as the Jews, but I assure you that the early first-century church was accustomed to gathering together BEFORE the light of daybreak on the FIRST day of the week that THEY called the Lord's day. Please read all the studies linked within this study and all the studies linked below. This study was just the TIP of the iceberg of exposing the ERRORS of interpretation made by the Saturday seventh day of the week Sabbath-keeping churches, and the Sunday first day of the week Sabbath-keeping Christians. All of the studies listed under the subject heading >>>Dd-0. What is the TRUE Sabbath?<<< And also read Dd-20. Did The Early Church KEEP the Sabbath day to learn the truth of what the early church believed. Thanks again for reading and may God bless you richly as you continue to seek the truth of the whole word of Almighty God.
Your Brother in our Lord Jesus Christ, Brother Mark.
