Forsaking
The Assembling Of Ourselves – Updated 2011
by Peter James
Hebrews 10:24 And let us consider one another
to provoke unto love
and to good works:
Hebrews 10:25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together,
as the manner of some is; but
exhorting one another:
and so much the more, as ye see
the day approaching.
In my experience I cannot recall
anyone mentioning verse 24
regarding provoking each other to
good works.
However, I constantly get verse 25 thrown in my face.
I am often referred to this
verse, in order to convince me that I should
be meeting with some church group
or other.
Usually what is meant is,
‘You should be meeting with us, if you want
to be assured
of your salvation’.
Everyone seems to be very anxious
to meet or to force others
to meet together, and this is the
verse which is used to make
the point.
The reality is that most people
are made to feel that to fellowship,
with some group is an imperative
necessity regardless of the spiritual
condition of that group.
Of course the churches capitalise
on loneliness, which is a worldwide
problem. Everywhere, everyone is
looking for friends.
For that reason dating websites
are very popular.
The church is now more of a
social networking place.
The messages are either blatantly
wrong,
or have no substance whatsoever,
but that does not really matter.
After the meeting the enjoyable
refreshment and weekly ‘chat’,
makes the whole thing worthwhile.
The exceedingly strong pull of a
‘social club, keep many attending
the pointless dead weekly ritual.
What is certainly very rare indeed is to find
‘Truth’,
in any of these organisations called ‘Churches’,
regardless of the fancy title.
Some question how else could they
keep the Sabbath?
(whichever day they have decided
is the Sabbath,
they do not even ask which day is
the Sabbath)
The focus of the week, for many
‘Christians’, is the meeting together.
Most fail to realise that what we need, and
ought to diligently pursue
is a direct personal relationship, and
fellowship with the Eternal God,
and Jesus Christ, regardless of what the mass
of False Shepherds say.
Most churches greatly discourage this
because, they all want
to be the middle man between you and Christ.
This means that they in fact control if you
get saved or not.
This is an absurd lie.
The focus of this website is that
we should all have,
a personal relationship with
Christ.
Is it wrong to meet together?
Of course it is not.
The verse plainly says do not
forsake the assembling of ourselves
together as we see the day
approaching.
However, we ought to ask
ourselves whether we should attend
a meeting, that dishonours God,
is clearly against the clear word
of scripture, and even blatantly
misleads those attending it?
Are we meeting together because we are
agreed?
Are we meeting together because we are of the
same mind and spirit?
If we are not in agreement in our
mind and spirit, then we are
fooling and deceiving ourselves
and each other by our ritualistic
meeting, but we are not deceiving
the Eternal.
Amos
3:3 Can two walk together, except they be agreed?
This pertinent
scripture needs to be carefully considered because
there are
thousands who believe that it is possible to walk together
when they do
not agree. They do not want to accept the fact,
although they
know it, that in the meeting or the organisation
as a whole,
there is no unity.
Many
people do not want to be confused by ‘Truth’.
They
prefer to live a lie.
They allow
themselves to be blinded to what they clearly see.
They know that
they are part of a group whose members are
in
disagreement on basic, fundamental issues,
but regardless
they continue to meet under the same roof or umbrella
organization,
with the vain hope that somehow there will be some
miracle to
resolve all the problems, and in the end it will all work out,
and all will
be well.
They say that
God will work it all out.
They feel that
they can sit back, relax and be onlookers
on the side
lines.
They ignore
the fact that we are directly involved.
Whether we
like it or not, we are participants, not observers.
We have to
chose to obey.
That is how it
has always been from the time of Adam and Eve.
It has never
changed.
In
many churches there splits, and some members, even members
of
the same family do not speak to each other.
Here is a
question for you.
Do you think
that this is acceptable to the Eternal God?
Do you think
that such a thing will take place in the Kingdom of God?
If you say no,
then can you consider that you are a part of,
the kingdom of
God now, or will be part of the Kingdom of God?
We have to be
living a life of ‘Life’, now.
If we are not,
we will most definitely not having ‘Life’,
in the future.
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:
We
find that each split in each group does what is right in its own eyes.
This is
exactly what was happening in Israel and Judah
Judges 21:25 In those days there was no king in
Israel:
every man did that which was right in his own
eyes.
There is no
harmony.
There is no
oneness.
There is not
even concealed confusion but open disagreement between
the various cliques,
as each group squares up against the another.
This can even
lead to hostility and enmity in what
claims to be
the body of Christ.
Everyone
needs to seriously consider whether they are part of the Body
of
Christ in reality.
Christ said:
John 10:30 I and my Father are one.
The apostle
Paul then goes on to explain the oneness of the body.
The various
schisms in each group admit to their own uniqueness.
Of course each
feels that they are right.
Romans 12:5 So
we, being many, are one body in Christ,
and every one members one of another.
1 Corinthians 12:12 For as the body is one, and
hath many members,
and all the members of that one body, being many,
are one body: so also is
Christ.
The reality is
that if there is no oneness in the body, there is no body.
There is just
a collection of body parts.
Christ is not
going to return to dismembered bits and pieces of a body.
Meeting
together does not make us one body.
To be one we have
to be of the same spirit, enjoying the unity of Christ.
We need to ask
ourselves whether we are just performing rituals, and making
pointless
sacrifices by our meeting together.
We can quite
easily spend our time more profitable at home,
even if we were
only sleeping!
1 Samuel 15:22 And Samuel said, Hath the
LORD as great delight
in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD?
Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken
than the fat of rams.
We are
clearly told to obey is better than to sacrifice.
We,
however, prefer to sacrifice than to obey,
and
therein lies the problem.
What is
required is obedience not rituals.
We cannot hide
our rebellion and disobedience by our ritualistic activities.
There can well
be a period, when you are unable to meet with others
of like mind,
because up to now you have not been introduced
to any such
people.
It is silly to
keep meeting with people, with whom you strongly disagree,
just in order
not to forsake the assembling together.
Some
erroneously think that the way to keep the Sabbath is to attend a meeting,
any
meeting.
Exodus 20:8
Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
Exodus 20:9 Six
days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
Exodus 20:10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of
the LORD thy God:
in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy
son, nor thy daughter,
thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle,
nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
Exodus 20:11 For in six days the LORD made heaven
and earth, the sea,
and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day:
wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
It is true that the Sabbath is also a commanded holy
convocation,
which means a time of meeting together, with other
members
of the body of Chris, and not some debating or other
club.
Leviticus 23:3 Six days shall work be done: but the seventh
day
is the sabbath of rest, an holy convocation; ye shall do no work
therein:
it is the sabbath of the LORD in all your dwellings.
Leviticus 23:7 In the first day ye shall have an holy
convocation:
ye shall do no servile work therein.
At this time it is only occasionally possible for a few of us to meet
together due to the distances involved, and the fact that there are so
very
few people who accept that the Sabbath should be observed.
It most definitely does not mean that we should just meet up with
others who claim to be ‘Christian’, when they have absolutely
no concept of the basic laws of the Eternal God, and have no interest
at all in what is required of us by the Eternal God.
The Sabbath is a joy to me, and I keep it on my own.
At present I am not aware of others of like mind,
who live near enough to me, to meet with me.
I am fully aware that I have entered into the Sabbath rest of the New
Testament,
and the reality is that I enjoy this every single day.
My accusers, who claim that I am wrong to observe the weekly and annual
Sabbaths, and who also claim that I am under a curse, and should be
enjoying
the Sabbath rest daily, do not, and can never enjoy the daily Sabbath
rest,
which they claim I should be enjoying.
You can only enjoy the daily Sabbath Rest if you are not in rebellion,
and are calling the and enjoying the Weekly Sabbath, not as a burden,
but as a delight.
The Eternal God calls it ‘My Holy Day’.
This means that we have absolutely no say in the matter,
as it is not ours.
The choice, which we have is to obey or to be in rebellion.
I know many people who observe the Sabbath, but for them it is a burden,
they cannot wait for it to end, so that they can do their own thing.
and enjoy themselves.
Isaiah 58:13 If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath,
from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight,
the holy of the LORD, honourable; and shalt honour him,
not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure,
nor speaking thine own words:
The problem is that like most problems, with supposed ‘Bible Believers’,
is this. It is all a matter of intellectual arguments in our minds,
and it all has very little to do,
with the practical application in our daily lives.
Their ‘Christianity’, is an add-on for meetings and bible studies.
Many even have a serious ‘Sabbath’ face.
The fact that at present most of us cannot meet together,
in no way diminishes the blessing that the Sabbath is to us.
There are several of us who are scattered,
and we agree with this point of view.
We all enjoy the weekly Sabbath.
We fellowship together by phone and email,
but our primary fellowship is with the Father and Jesus Christ.
One day it will be possible to meet together, but at present this is not
the case so we are contented, with the position in which we find
ourselves,
and we do not complain.
Philippians 4:11 Not that I speak in respect of want: for I
have learned,
in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.
We are determined not to live a lie, neither will we contemplate the sham
of meeting together, with those with whom we are in complete
disagreement,
as so many do.
I have seen this in large groups and small groups.
There are divisions and there are cliques.
Even family members do not speak to each other,
much less the members.
I repeat.
Do we really believe that this farce is acceptable to the Eternal God?
Do we really believe that this will happen, when Christ sets up His
kingdom?
The answer is a most definite ‘NO’.
In this verse the Eternal is speaking to the people of God.
Revelation 18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven,
saying,
Come out of her, my people, that ye
be not partakers of her sins,
and that ye receive not of her plagues.
He is addressing ‘My People’.
You will see from the context that this is a Political and Religious
union
that the people of God are commanded to leave.
To stay as part of that system under the misguided feeling that you will
be saved by association with a group, is a gross error.
It will never happen.
Ultimately we have to stand on our own two legs.
Romans 14:12 So then every one of us shall give account of
himself to God.
We are responsible for ourselves.
Ezekiel 14:13 Son of man, when the land sinneth against me
by trespassing
grievously, then will I stretch out mine hand upon it,
and will break the staff of the bread thereof, and will send famine upon
it,
and will cut off man and beast from it:
Ezekiel 14:14 Though these three men, Noah,
Daniel, and Job, were in it,
they should deliver but their own souls by their
righteousness,
saith the Lord GOD.
It follows that if you come out of a group for a period of time
you might well be alone.
We have to get it into our thick heads that the first requirement is
obedience.
If we do not obey, we will suffer the consequences.
Your very meeting together with others who are not
part of the body of Christ,
was not your salvation but rather the reason,
for the predicament in which you will find yourself,
suffering and torment.
You will be a partaker of the sins and plagues that will be poured out on
false Babylon as the scripture states.
To come out of Babylon of course means that you will more than likely
lose your ‘Church Friends’ and your ‘Peers’ as they will inevitably tend
to reject and even demonize you.
We cannot be men pleasers.
Galatians 1:10 For do I now persuade men,
or God?
or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men,
I should not be the servant of Christ.
It needs to be mentioned that many groups, and cults have mastered
the art or we can even call it the science of mind controlling
the intelligent who are seeking God.
They have perfected controlling and manipulating their followers.
The Eternal hates control and manipulation.
Revelation 2:6 But this thou hast, that thou hatest the
deeds of the Nicolaitans,
which I also hate.
This is how Scofield explains it.
[1] (Nicolaitanes) [Marg]
(Nicolaitanes)
[1] (Nicolaitanes)
From nikao,
"to conquer," and laos, "the people," or
"laity."
There is no ancient authority for a sect of the
Nicolaitanes. If the word is
symbolic it refers to the earliest form
of the notion of a priestly order, or "clergy,"
which later divided an equal brotherhood #Mt 23:8 into "priests"
and "laity." What in
Ephesus was "deeds"
#Re 2:6 had become in Pergamos a "doctrine #Re 2:15.
[Marg] (Nicolaitanes) #Re 2:15, contra, #1Pe
5:2,3 Mt 24:49.
It is telling us that the Eternal God hates the
control and manipulation
that the clergy
enforces on the laity.
Honestly ask yourself is that not what is happening in your church?
Further more if you don’t like what they do you can leave, is that not
right?
Of course you can leave but almost none do.
The leaders have firmly imprinted in the minds of their members
that to leave the group is not only to be a failure,
but even worse, your very salvation is at risk because you are
defying the ministers of the one true Church, . . .
you can fill in the name of your spiritual organization, to which you
belong.
Of course these false ministers also use a scripture to justify their
demands.
Hebrews 13:17 Obey them
that have the rule over you,
and submit yourselves: for they watch for your
souls,
as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy,
and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.
This scripture has been used even by ministers and priests to force
their lustful, adulterous wishes on vulnerable girls, women and even
boys.
As no believer wants to lose their salvation their
followers accept and
tolerate every lie, and abuse under the false notion
that they must obey
their leaders, who many times have been found to be
impoverishing,
and abusing the very people who have come to them
for help.
The sad sheep feel that all this is pleasing to God.
This is an outright lie.
These sheeple need to realize that the abuse of the flock by the
shepherds
and indeed by some of the flock is deeply deplored by the Eternal
and greatly saddens Him.
See Ezekiel
chapter 34 where
you will find graphic details of this.
In the book of Jeremiah you will also find further
particulars
about the adulterous prophets and priests.
Yes, it is good to meet with people who are of like mind, but it is folly
to meet with others who actually oppose the Eternal, because you believe
that that is what the Eternal requires when
it is entirely contrary to His heart’s desires.
Ezekiel 44:23 And they shall teach my people the difference
between
the holy and profane, and cause them to discern between
the unclean and the clean.
Leviticus 10:10 And that ye may put difference between holy
and unholy,
and between unclean and clean;
The Christian walk can be considered to having
to walk up a set of moving stairs, which are going
down.
If you stop walking up, you do not stagnate,
but you go backwards.
Jeremiah 7:24 But they hearkened not, nor inclined their
ear,
but walked in the counsels and in the imagination of
their evil heart,
and went backward, and not forward.
To mix with unbelievers in
meetings contaminates believers.
It is my experience that the
truth that people thought they had
is taken away from them, although
the subjects that were
previously understood are not
addressed.
Christ told Eve not even to touch
the fruit, much less not to eat it.
That is what she said, and Christ
did not say that she was lying.
As I have often said, if just the
tip of your finger touches a pile
of mess all of you feels unclean,
even if you wash your hands
several times.
Genesis 3:3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the
midst of the garden,
God hath said, Ye shall not eat
of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
This is a very interesting verse.
Even what you think you have can
be taken from you.
Luke 19:26 For I say unto you, That unto every one which
hath shall be given;
and from him that hath not, even
that he hath shall be taken away from him.
If you go into a smoke filled room, even if you do not smoke,
it is inevitable that you will come out smelling of smoke.
Let us be careful to obey rather than make sacrifices that are not only
not required, but are actually deeds of rebellion.
Foxes cannot have fellowship
with sheep,
even in sheep’s clothing
they will decimate the flock.
