Necromancer - One Who Consults the Dead

No, this is not all souls day. I just feel obliged to include this in my blog after reading one passage in the scriptures about consulting the dead.

Deuteronomy 18:10 There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch

Deuteronomy 18:11 Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.

Deuteronomy 18:12 For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee.

It is our family tradition to travel back to our home town yearly every November 1st to visit the tomb of my father.

Customarily, we offer prayers for his soul and inform him that his grandsons and grand daughters are there for him.

What's unusual is the thinking that he is there looking at us, guiding us and protecting us all the way, the usual of him when he is still alive.

At first glance, it's a sign of respect & humility but ultimately not rewarding.

Colossians 2:18 Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshiping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,

What's that again? Voluntary humility an abomination to GOD? The offering of prayers alone is an abomination unknowingly committed.

Ecclesiastes 9:5 For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.

Ecclesiastes 9:6 Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever in any thing that is done under the sun.

Ecclesiastes 9:10 Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.

Your next question may be - Are you still going there? My answer is, Yes of course but not on All Souls Day for the dead don't have a day!

Babe Baptism Not Necessary

The Acts 22:16 And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord.

If Baptism is washing away of sins, why baptize a babe? He or She can't even arise when you command him/her to do so.

I am a born Catholic but explanations regarding this practice, I can not comprehend. "It is the washing of the original sin of Adam & Eve" Huh, is that so!

Deuteronomy 24:16 The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers: every man shall be put to death for his own sin.

Hebrews 5:13 For every one that useth milk is unskillfull in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.

Matthew 19:14 But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.

If the kingdom of heaven is definitely for the children, why baptize them? We are all paying for baptism, death, marriages, house blessings etc. But what is really the commandment to the Apostles?

Matthew 10:8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.

Now, you paid for your marriage? then your marriage is fake. You paid for your babe baptism then it is fake aside from being unauthorized and unnecessary.

Devil's Menu

Genesis 3:14 And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:

The serpent is cursed above all beasts. The punishment of God to Satan who deceived Eve in the Garden of Eden is to eat dust in all the days of his life.

Genesis 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

Are we created only by God as a devil's menu since from dust we are created and unto dust we shall return?

Genesis 3:19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.

When God spew you out of His mouth, then you are definitely included in the Devil's menu.

Revelation 3:16 So then because thous art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.

Apparently, what God's don't eat and considered spoiled are for Satan's delight.

It's you're choice now brother, God gave you two (2) choices:

Deuteronomy 11:26 Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse

Deuteronomy 11:27 A blessing, if ye obey the commandments of the LORD your God, which I command you this day:

Deuteronomy 11:28 And a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of the LORD your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods, which ye have not known.

Deuteronomy 30:19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:

Witch & Observer Of Times

Deuteronomy 18:10 There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch

Deuteronomy 18:11 Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.

Deuteronomy 18:12 For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee.

I remember the story of one of our brother who knows witch craft. Every time we have gatherings in the congregation, he is there in front and applying his witch ritual to our Pastor while delivering words of God to his members. Much to his dismay his craft which are proven to be very effective to others won't take effect even saying the ritual prayers repeatedly.

1 John 5:18 We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.

He is now our brother and very active in our gatherings. His story was recorded in our central office for future use.

The end times are even predicted by some pastors of religion, observer of times like nostradamus predicted some events that will occur in the future but alas it never was. Predictions are a hara kiri generalized occurence like typhoon, earthquakes, love life, travel abroad, etc.

Matthew 24:36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

The Acts 1:7 And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.

Proverbs 27:1 Boast not thyself of tomorrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.

Observers of times, beware!

Love Your Enemies

Luke 6:35 But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.

Matthew 5:21 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:

Jesus teachings focus more on the intention of the heart.

Matthew 5:22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.

How much more if you kill anyone?

Mateo 10:28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

How about the suicide bombers who kill people in disguise of a holy war?

Matthew 11:13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.

John the baptist is the prophet who baptized Jesus in Jordan river.

Luke 16:16 The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.

What holy war are they talking about?

Hebrews 8:8 For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:

Hebrews 8:13 In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away

For suicide bombers, I would say, you are all sons of the devil.

John 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

The new covenant is not to kill your enemy but love your enemy as you love yourself.

Marriage Vows

Marriage vows nowadays are taken for granted. Remember a celebrity who married & divorced the following day?

A vow made by man in the presence of witnesses can not be made broken by any man.

Galatians 3:15 Brethren, I speak after the manner of men; Though it be but a man's covenant, yet if it be confirmed, no man disannulleth, or addeth thereto.

Who may break, add or dissolve the vow then?

Matthew 5:32 But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness, causes her to become an adulteress, and anyone who marries the divorced woman commits adultery.

Matthew 19:9 And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.

God's law is clear. Except for a reason of fornication (marital unfaithfullness), you can not divorce your husband or wife.

But Brother, how about psychological reason, nagger, irresponsible etc. etc. Take note of the only exemption "except it be for fornication" nothing more, nothing less.

Wait, there is another one! Remember the phrase "till death do us part?"

The Romans 7:2 For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband.

Does it mean brother that if I have a nagging wife I am forever be doomed?

Proverbs 19:14 House and riches are the inheritance of fathers: and a prudent wife is from the LORD.

Don't worry brother, if your wife is not from the LORD definitely she's from the devil and surely she will commit marital unfaithfullness anyway!

Galatians 5:19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousnes,

Galatians 5:20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,

Galatians 5:21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

Beware of Kneeling to Idols

Revelation 19:10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellow servant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.

The Angel rebuked John when he tried to worship him for showing things that will happen in revelation.

Why do we have to worship angels anyway when we will judge them later.

1 Corinthians 6:3 Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?

And they are here with us to guard us that fear Him.

Psalms 34:7 The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.

Regarding Mary - the mother of Jesus
John 3:13 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.

When no man hath ascended up to heaven, where is Mary then?

John 14:2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

John 14:3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

Did Jesus come again. I am sure not yet because these things will happen in His coming.

1 Corinthian 15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

But where is Mary? Still Sleeping.

1 Corinthian 15:51 Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,

But where are the Apostles who died for Jesus? Resting Yet.

Revelation 6:10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?

Revelation 6:11 And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellow servants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.

Until there is no rising of the dead, we are still waiting because Jesus is yet to come. When? only GOD knows but there was a hint:

Mateo 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

Stop praying to Mary then, if you love GOD for your soul.

Same Sex Marriages

1 Corinthians 6:9 not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,

The new international version says: Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders

Current authoritative bodies and doctrines of the world's largest religions generally view homosexuality negatively. Being homosexual is not the issue but the carnal pleasures of a homosexual is the big issue. The same with a man who womanize or a woman prostitutes, an abominable in the eyes of God.

Romans 1:26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

Romans 1:27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

You can say that because you are a man, but brother, how about our happiness? Are we not entitled? Happiness for what? 50 years - 70 years? Compared to the promise of everlasting life by God to those who love Him, that is nothing.

Matthew 24:13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

Ecclesiastes 12:13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.

Call No Man Your Father Upon the Earth

Matthew 23:9 And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.

To add insult to injury, not contented with the word father they even call him Most Holy Father or Reverend Father where the word reverend is only used or mentioned only once in the entire bible in GOD's name.

Psalms 111:9 He sent redemption unto his people: he hath commanded his covenant for ever: holy and reverend is his name.

The Bible even warned us of Scribes walking on long robes.

Luke 20:46 Beware of the scribes, which desire to walk in long robes, and love greetings in the markets, and the highest seats in the synagogues, and the chief rooms at feasts;

Their teachings are against the law of God:

Exodus 20:4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:

Exodus 20:5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;

I remember when my mother bought a graven image from a local peddler in our hometown.

She asked the graven image peddler, is that tough?

The peddler answer, yes this wood is hard. The peddler knock the head of the graven image 3 times to prove his point.

After haggling over the price, my mother bought it, took the graven image to her church & let it blessed by a priest.

Back home, put it in the altar and daily lit the candle & changed the breaded sampaguita flower around the graven image neck prior to her ritual repetitive prayers.

What a waste of time!

Romans 1:25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

Fake Preachers

How do you know that a preacher is fake or not?

John 7:18 He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.

Most preachers of today cite 1-3 verses only in the Bible and then make a story out of it. Everything that a Preacher would say or may say must be substantiated by verses proving that what he say not come from him but from Above.

He must be always free and ready to answer all questions concerning your faith & if possible a live broadcast for us to test his spirit if he is really from GOD.

I John 4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

If he can not answer any one of your questions, then he is fake.

Luke 21:15 For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.

Find a preacher of today like Saul or Stephen, who is ready to dispute all existing religions.

The Acts 9:29 And he spake boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus, and disputed against the Grecians: but they went about to slay him.

The Acts 6:9 Then there arose certain of the synagogue, which is called the synagogue of the Libertines, and Cyrenians, and Alexandrians, and of them of Cilicia and of Asia, disputing with Stephen.

The Acts 6:10 And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the spirit by which he spake.

Is there such a Preacher today? There is, I know of only one. He was implicated in so many court cases in his homeland and is now abroad preaching the word of God. If you meet him abroad, go ahead, test his spirit.

John 15:20 Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.

Is your Pastor not persecuted? then be afraid. He is fake!

Women With Short Hair

I Corinthians 11:15 But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering.

Covering from Whom?

I Corinthians 11:10 For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels.

What is the relation of a short hair to angels?

Genesis 6:4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bore children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.

To cut the story short, the hair covering is a protection of women from bad angels.

Men With Long Hair

1 Cor 11:14 Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?

But I am an Artist & member of a famous local Band, am I not exempted.

Can you not be an Artist or a Band member sporting a short hair?

If you are like the one in this picture, can you still claim that you are of GOD?

If you love God, then follow his commandments.

Women are urged to modesty in dress

I Timothy 2:9 In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with braided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array.

Most women of today are dressed up like this. Their justification is that, such law is already outdated and only meant by God to our forefathers.

Romans 11:29 For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.
