CORRELATING SCRIPTURE. THE REBELLIOUS PEOPLE.
The 1611 Fellowship discusses Ezekiel 4:3-8 and more. The consequences of trying to serve two masters. Human sacrifice, blood drinking rituals. I'm not entirely satisfied with my presentation based on these verses. So, I plan to go back to the drawing board and perhaps have another go at it some time in the future. God Bless.

Thank you Reg. As usual, your message opened up a new understanding for me. It is that . . just as the people of the Old Testament gained salvation by believing in Messiah's First Coming to take away the sins of the World, so too do God's people today gain our salvation by believing in Jesus' Second Coming to end sin in the World. We arent gaining salvation by calling ourselves "Christian" or lighting candles or taking communion or putting up a nativity scene on Xmas. You know how I feel about rituals and idols. Clearly the Eucharist is satanic. I like the word remembrance though. I will try to make sure any time my loved ones are engaged in a ritual that they remember their relationship with God and seek to strengthen it.
From before the Law until the end, salvation is by faith (I know you agree). Scripture teaches that without faith it is impossible to please God. Faith in Messiah before Christ and faith in Messiah after Christ; the former looking forward to Christ; the later looking back to Christ. Salvation is in Christ alone. There are no so-called "dispensations" where man might be saved in different ways: One Faith, One God and One Baptism.
why are you not satisfied with it? ..seems i don't think anyone asked
...not focused enough.
I told someone close who is desiring to be a pastor. I told him exactly what you said concerning communion. It is an abomination. However the person stated it made them feel nice. In Pentecostal churches it is a ritual. Australia is desolate like the vast deserts it has. But I am sure some real believers exist within those religious institutions as you said. There must be. Although it feels like there are almost none.
I spoke against The Eucharist, not against communion per se. Communion is another word for the LORD's Supper (if understood in the context that Jesus explained.)
This about the pot brings to mind what I just wrote down yesterday about the Samaritan woman in John 4 at Jacob’s Well. In verse 28 The woman then left her water pot, and went her way into the city, and sayth to the men, 29 Come, see a man, which told me that euer I did: Is not this the Christ?. Leaving her pot behind is staying in my thoughts and I’m was reminded of it in Ezekiel 24 The Samaritans did not rebel and did not force the pot to boil with the choice bones. It’s all great food for thought Reg. Perfect timing for my reading and my meditations on water pot.
Just yesterday I came across a comment on Facebook calling out our 1611 Fellowship group (mentioned John and Reg by name). I commented that I stand with John and Reg, that they're correct. This resulted (of course) in my being questioned. We're getting noticed so stand firm.
where-ever i am, is hard to find. but very deliberately placed. and i like to watch things happen, so this should be interesting. let us hope they are humble, and that they seek good.
