Spiritual Protestants |
In my previous discussion titled: "Protestants" I talked about the breaking away from the Roman Catholic Church of these God believers. They wanted to be free from the monarchial and episcopal rule of the church. The rebelion was more political than spiritual. It did not deal with the major deceptions integrated in the King James Version of the Bible. This brouhgt to my mind the idea that protestantism in a spiritual sense started earlier with the Romans.
The Romans introduced many gods leading people to violate the First Commandment. They led people to worship non-living sculptures and images and bow before them, violating the Second Commandment. They caused god believers to forget the name of the Father, violating the Third Commandment. They change the Calendar, and made god believers violate the Fourth Commandment on the Sabbath.
As I was considering these, I realized that all these violations started earlier with Israel.
Leviticus 26:3 If ye walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and do them;
Leviticus 26:4 Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit.
This is the promise made by Yahuwah to His if they comply with the conditions. The promise came with the warning:
Leviticus 26:27 And if ye will not for all this hearken unto me, but walk contrary unto me;
Leviticus 26:28 Then I will walk contrary unto you also in fury; and I, even I, will chastise you seven times for your sins.
The Promise came at the time of King David and later on King Solomon when Israel became the wealthiest and most powerful kingdom in the world. Unfortunately, David and Solomon violated the commandments too. Violations after violations were committed by Israel after that. So, Babylon and later on Rome rose to power and deliver the warnings that came with the promise. When the Son of God came to save them in the name of Yahuwah, they refused.
Matthew 23:37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!
John 5:43 I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.
Then the Son of God was mocked, tortured in Jerusalem. Israel was erased from the world. Then Israel rose as a nation again in 1948, because Yahuwah said: "for why should you die Oh house of Israel?"
Ezekiel 33:11
Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord Yahuwah GOD, I have no pleasure in the death
of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn
ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?
Have we learned from History? No. Until today we refuse to recognize His name Yahuswa that carries the name of His Father Yahuwah. However, as He prophysied, we receive the name Jesus that means god Zeus.
Spiritual Protestantism started with Israel, even with Eve when she committed the first case of idolatry, transferring her faith from the image of Yahuwah within her to the forbidden fruit of the "acceptance of good and evil."
