Dear Brothers and Sisters in IAUA (ee-ah-oo-ah) our Father,

Greetings on this day of preparation for the weekly Sabbath. I pray this newsletter finds you in good health and happy in the service of IAUA. This is the 4th day of the 7th month of the Biblical Calendar in the estimated year 6019 Anno Mundi.

The Fall Sabbaths continue Thursday with Atonement Sabbath on the 10th day of the 7th month (Tuesday, September 15th of the 2015, Gregorian Calendar, at sunset Monday, September 14th).

On God's Calendar the Biblical month begins on the global day after lunar conjunction and the Biblical year begins with God's New Year's Day (Passover) after the spring equinox (Spring Passover Rule). The Millerite Calendar (Spring New Moon Rule) is the same this year. The Calculated Rabbinical Calendar is one day early.


Continuing a previous email discussion with James. He wrote:

Thank you for your email.

Dear brother, according to the Holy Scriptures and Spirit of Prophecy, the seventh day Sabbath was given before sin entered the world but the ceremonial sabbaths after sin entered the world which were completed at the cross

It is interesting, I thought at first, you believed this.:-)

How has the Lord been blessing you?

Have a safe weekend.

James,

James,

Prove to me from Scripture or SOP that they did not exist before sin. I have already given one piece of clear evidence from the Scripture that they did and there is more for those willing to hear and follow the truth. You seem to have your mind made up following the traditions of men.

Be at peace,

Dear brother,

thank you for your email.

How are you and how is the Lord blessing you?

The Scripture you use to support feast day keeping is not clear evidence.

Also, I noticed in your circular emails you send out, that you use a name for God that is foreign to the Bible and the Spirit of Prophecy.

Dear brother, you have been blessed with gifts from the Spirit, may we all work together with these, to give the last message of mercy to the world and unite as home churches into one alliance.

1 Corinthians 12.

With Christian love,

bro. james.

Dear Brother,

You have chosen to believe what you wish to believe. I will not try to convince you otherwise. I believe and practice all that the Bible says.

You flatter me with words but dismiss what I share from the Bible:

"Dear brother, you have been blessed with gifts from the Spirit, may we all work together with these, to give the last message of mercy to the world and unite as home churches into one alliance."

There can be no alliance between truth and error.

II Corinthians 6:14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

Luke 11:34-36
34 The light of the body is the eye: therefore when thine eye is single, thy whole body also is full of light; but when [thine eye] is evil, thy body also [is] full of darkness.
35 Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness.
36 If thy whole body therefore [be] full of light, having no part dark, the whole shall be full of light, as when the bright shining of a candle doth give thee light.

Be at peace,

It has been a long intense struggle to find a balance between following, supporting, and presenting my best understanding of 21st Present Truth and working with others who support less than my understanding. I have discussed this in general in many previous newsletters and specifically in newsletters such as:

2012-04-13 No Light

2014-10-31 What is Truth? II

"Balance" is always a tricky business. It is important to consider how closely people are attempting to follow truth compared to how far they diverge from what I understand as truth. I also consider whether there are signs of a seeker for truth or whether there are signs of a Laodicean teacher of truth. I always give careful consideration to anything that is proposed until careful investigation reveals what I see as the truth. After that careful investigation I give very little consideration to any more attempts to present the error.

I always try to be careful to avoid excessive confrontation, criticism, and judgment. In all my efforts I seek to follow the example of our Savior as the Holy Spirit leads me.

My plan for next week's newsletter (originally planned for this week) is to investigate this topic further.

Do you seek unity in all truth or do you tolerate open error?

I pray we may all continue to seek love, peace, and unity in truth preparing for the soon coming of IAUShUO (ee-ah-oo-shoo-oh) Messiah, the Son of God.
