Acts 5:29 We must obey God and not man's government in some situations.
(Romans 13:1-7 and other scriptures teach us to obey the governments of mankind. This ministry continues to teach this! However, we must acknowledge all scripture. Not just part of it. The bible is clear that there exceptions of when we must not obey the governments of mankind.)
Acts 5:29 We must obey God and not man (man's government) in some situations.
Paul and Peter were repeatedly told to not preach in Jesus name.
But they disobeyed.
Distribution of the gospel. That's illegal in Muslim and Communist nations. Yet we must still distribute the gospel of Jesus Christ in all nations.
Government says that we can't criticize Islam or homosexuality. But we must continue to expose wickedness and speak against it. It is our Christian duty and what the bible teaches us to do, regardless of man's law.
Any and every time that man's government tells us to disobey God, then we must disobey that rule; because our obedience to God comes first.
Man is not the creator God. Only God is God almighty.
God's laws are over and above man's laws.
Daniel 3:14-18 Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego disobeyed Nebuchadnezzar’s order to worship false gods. We know that Daniel also disobeyed the new law that said that he could not pray to the God of Israel.
Exodus 1:15-17 The midwives disobeyed the order to kill male children.
Right now, the antichrist Biden regime is demanding American taxpayers to send their Federal taxes to be used for killing children (funding abortion) and to promote and fund Islam, homosexuality, poisonous vaccines, and to fund their war against Christians and against Israel. Therefore, the bible is clear on this! We can, and we must, disobey such demonic laws!
2 Cor. 11:32-33 Christians disobeyed the King's order to seize Paul.
Joshua 2 Rahab committed treason against the government of Jericho to help the Hebrew spies.
1 Cor. 11 Women wearing hats during worship services was the custom of the time but is not a law for today's church. Each church generation has different & unique situations that apply only to their generation. Things/situations change.
The apostle of each generation has the right to declare the instructions of that generation. No apostle before Paul taught that Jesus cleansed meats except for only one verse in Mark. Paul taught new instructions. Moses had also taught new instructions. And Paul's new teachings went contrary to Moses' teaching circumcision and sacrifices. Yet we know that it would had been wrong to say that Paul taught us to disobey God.
The apostle Paul that wrote the book of Romans is dead.
The apostle Zimmerman is alive.
God is not the God of the dead, but of the living. Matt.22:32
Yes we must still consider Paul's writings. 2 Tim.3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.
But even Paul did not believe that we had to keep every word of law of the dead Moses. Please read our article, "What is Done Away?"
Government taxes are used differently today. And our awareness of it.
In ancient times, the killing of children was not funded by tax payer money. It did not require money for the pagans to sacrifice children to fire. It also did not require money to build pagan statues and idols. They used slaves and other forced labor.
But today, Biden uses our federal taxpayer money to pay other people to do the murdering for him. And we are aware of this.
Therefore, when we pay federal taxes to the Biden regime, we knowingly approve of and fund murder of innocent, defenseless babies.
The bible teaches that we are held accountable for what we know!
During the Trump administration, he removed federal funding for abortion. Therefore, you should have paid federal taxes according to the law at that time. But not under the Biden regime, who is not even the elected president, and who is doing more to fund abortion and promote abortion, than any previous person in the history of the American government; as well as many other extreme evils via your tax dollars.
The USA was founded/started because of their refusal to pay taxes to the king of England! George Washington, a man of God, disobeyed the British king via taxes and many other ways! If he had not disobeyed, then America would have never existed! This was God's will.
Paul was right about circumcision and sacrifices.
However, he was wrong about men with long hair. Nature does not teach us that it is a shame for men to have long hair. By nature, all men would have long hair if they didn't cut it. Nature grows men's hair just as long as any woman's hair. Many great men of God had long hair. Short hair was only Paul's custom. Paul was wrong about men's hair, but it would had been wrong to forsake Paul and to rebuke the servant of God! Especially the women who are to submit to the men of the church in all things.
Marriage licenses: We have the God given right to have sex and to fall in love and to have relationships. The governments of mankind don't have any authority over our feelings, our souls, our God given rights and human nature. I refuse to get the same license that the government gives to sinful and illegal homosexual relationships. A marriage license is a tax paid in order to attain permission to do what God has already given us the right to do. God's law doesn't require us to pay that type of tax or to attain such permission.
Fishing and hunting: God given right to survive, to eat, to enjoy nature, to relax, to take from the land the food that He provides. Man's government can regulate it to help preserve it with correct balances. But can't restrict us from actually fishing & hunting. A fishing & hunting license is a tax paid in order to attain permission to do what God has already given us the right to do. God's law doesn't require us to pay that type of tax or to attain such permission.
The Prophet Jonah
I learned a few days ago, that the Jews teach that years before Jonah was sent to Nineveh, God sent him to Jerusalem to predict destruction there. And the people repented and the city was not destroyed. Therefore, if true, that could have influenced him in his thinking of not wanting to go to Nineveh. He was probably called a false prophet by some people in Jerusalem. And no doubt, probably was also called a false prophet by some in Nineveh even though most of the people repented. Just interesting that Jesus brought this to my attention this week.
The fact is, that the March 28 earthquake prediction had nothing to do with March 28 but only with Purim, and it will be fulfilled on Purim next year or any future year of God's choice. Right now, I say that it is next year 100%. But if God chooses to delay it another 2-3 years, that's God's right to do so. It would not prove me as a false prophet. I was wrong about the year, but the prophecy was true and is true. I didn't lie to anyone about it. Sheila is only using any and every excuse that she can find to hate me because I have preached against her sins. And she is a stubborn, rebellious old woman who refuses to grow in the truth.
That's the reality.
