How to dress properly according in the Bible?

There are 2 dresses that a servant of God must wear - One is physical and One is spiritual in John 3:12.

Spiritual side:

Ephesians 6:13 - The armor of God in order to be able to withstand in the evil day.

Colossians 3:14 And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.

1 John 4:16 - God is love

Psalms 17:15 - Behold thy God's face in righteousness:

Those who dont love do not know God as stated in 1 John 4:8.


TO PUT ON CHARITY/LOVE IS THE SPIRITUAL DRESS OF A SERVANT OF GOD.

Physical side:

A man must not wear womens' dresses and a woman must not wear mens' dresses that can be read in Deuteronomy 22:5.

THE LAW OF GOD TO A CHRISTIAN WOMAN ON DRESSES:

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

Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

So a Christian woman must not wear micro minis, tapless, backless dresses or anything that can enable a man to think of her lewdly.

God's commandments that who'll decide to follow is you in the Bible

Thanksgiving

What are these things:

1) To give contributions

2) To do good

3) To fast

4) To give thanks

Bible support  verses of the four:

To fast - read Matthew 6:16-18

How? To make it a secret and dont let others notice it that you fast.

Why do we need to fast? - read Mark 9:28-29

The answer: There is a demon that only by fasting and praying is it shall be casted out from a person's body.

Commandment to give thanks but voluntarily - read 1 Chronicles 29:9 and 1 Chronicles 29:11-13.

God is the owner of heaven, earth, riches, and healing etc.

TO DO GOOD AND GIVE THANKS:

Hebrews 13:15 By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name. 13:16 But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.

What to do before offering sacrifices?

1) Matthew 5: 23 Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee;

5:24 Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.

2) 1 John 3:12 Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous.

When offering thanksgiving:

Colossians 3: 15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.

It is the will of God that can be read in 1 Thessalonians 5:18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

We must sing to God - Psalms 105:12, Colossians 3:16-17.

By fasting, read this: Joel 2:12 Therefore also now, saith the LORD, turn ye even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning:
The benefit of offering thanksgiving and to do good:

2 Chronicles 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

Doctrines of the Holy Spirit

The Pentecost

What are the these?

Acts 15:20 But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood.

What are idols in the Bible?

read Psalms 115:4-8.

They are silver, stones and gold etc. an image of a person who cant see, hear, touch etc. which the pagans put in trust in them by asking prayers to them.

St. John said to keep yourselves or stay away from idols in 1 John 5:21.

So it is forbidden to eat foods blessed in the name of these idols or prepared during their feasts.

Why it is forbidden to eat food that has blood on it?

It was forbidden since the time of Noah - (read Genesis 9:3-4)

It was forbidden in Israel - (read Leviticus 17:10)

even in the Christian era - (read Acts 15:20)

The main reason: "to make an atonement for your souls:" - (read Leviticus 17:11)

It is also used even in the Christian era:

Hebrews 9:22 Without shedding of blood is no remission.

Acts 20:28 To feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.

What are strangled that was forbidden by the Apostles not to eat in Acts 15:20?

Deuteronomy 14:21 - Animals that died by itself. I does not die by bleeding of blood.

What is fornication mentioned in Acts 15:20?

Read this:

1 Corinthians 6:15 Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid.

6:16 What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh.

6:17 But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.

6:18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.

There is a spiritual fornication which is participating on the religious practices of other false religion. the proof is read this:

2 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?

6:15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?

6:16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.


6:17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,

6:18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.

What is the reason not to commit these acts?

Matthew 12:32 And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.

There is another sin against the Holy Spirit:

Mark 3:29 But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation:

And to say that a miracle of God is of the devil:

Matthew 12:22 Then was brought unto him one possessed with a devil, blind, and dumb: and he healed him, insomuch that the blind and dumb both spake and saw.

12:23 And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this the son of David?

12:24 But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils.

12:25 And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:

12:26 And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand?

12:27 And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges.

12:28 But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you.

12:29 Or else how can one enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house.

12:30 He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.

12:31 Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.

It is also included to fight the pure teachings of God in the Bible.

Why do we need to be baptize?

The baptism of Lord Jesus at the River Jordan

THE MAIN REASON: To be cleansed from your sins

Acts 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

But before to be baptize, you must sure that you believe in the teachings of LORD JESUS:

Acts 2:36 And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?

2:37 And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.

2:38 And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.

ANOTHER PROOF that there is a need to hear God's words before baptism:

Ephesians 4:26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF BAPTISM IN YOU:

A) Romans 6:4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

Romans 6:5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:

Romans 6:6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.

B) You will receive the Holy Spirit (read Acts 2:38)

C) You will have these good characteristics:

Galatians 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,

5:23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

The reason this verse will be fulfilled to you as a baptized Christian:

2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

December is a rainy or snowy time

An art depicting Baby Lord Jesus in the manger after Mother Mary gave birth to him

Now we'll discuss what time our Lord Jesus Christ was born. Is it true that he was born on the month of December? What are there on that month?

According to the report of Luke, when Lord Jesus was born, there are shepherds feeding their sheeps on that night in the field.

"And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. " (Luke 2:8)

According to the report, because on that night the sheeps are in the field where Mother Mary gave birth to an infant Jesus into a manger because there was no room for them in the inn. (Luke 2:6-7)

Here we see that in the time our Lord Jesus was born is SUMMER so in that time, Emperor Augustus Ceasar called for a census to all of his subjects in his empire. (Luke 2:1-3)

Now, why we can say that it is not in the month of December our Lord Jesus was born? because according to the report of the Bible, December is also the month of rainy season in Israel.

Then all the men of Judah and Benjamin gathered themselves together unto Jerusalem within three days. It was the ninth month, on the twentieth day of the month; and all the people sat in the street of the house of God, trembling because of this matter, and for the great rain. (Ezra 10:9)

"Now the king sat in the winterhouse in the ninth month: and there was a fire on the hearth burning before him." (Jeremiah 36:22)

"For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone; " (Song's of solomon 2:11)

Notice that the 9th month in the Jewish calendar falls into the 9th month on the month of December and according to the report, this is the time of winter in Jerusalem. (Matthew 24:20)

"But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:"

So if it is true that there is someone flocking his sheeps in the field during that period is that man is really insane. No shepherd in his right mind will flock his sheeps in the field during the time of winter or rain.

And no ruler in his right mind especially an emperor of a vast and most powerful empire during that time will order a census during the time of winter. especially a wise brillant general before like Augustus.

So we can see that it is not on the month of December our Lord Jesus was born.

Job 37:6 For he saith to the snow, Be thou on the earth; likewise to the small rain, and to the great rain of his strength.

37:7 He sealeth up the hand of every man; that all men may know his work. 

37:8 Then the beasts go into dens, and remain in their places. 

37:9 Out of the south cometh the whirlwind: and COLD out of the north. 

10 By the breath of God frost is given: and the breadth of the waters is straitened. 

37:11 Also by watering he wearieth the thick cloud: he scattereth his bright cloud: 

37:12 And it is turned round about by his counsels: that they may do whatsoever he commandeth them upon the face of the world in the earth. 

37:13 He causeth it to come, whether for correction, or for his land, or for mercy.

"he went down and slew a lion in a pit in a snowy day. " (1 Cronicles 11:22)

Devotion to the Child Jesus or Sto Nino

The image of the child Jesus in the Philippines famously called the Sto. Nino

Now we'll discuss the devotion to the "STO NINO". When did it started? and why the Catholic Church has a type of worship to the image of a male child?This devotion came from the pagan worship if we'll see the picture of the "Sto Nino". It was originated from the god of the Hindus named "Krishna"

Look at it and click these links:

http://www.krisnaworld.com/gallery05.html

http://www.santoninodecebu.org

Here we'll see the comparison of the picture of "Sto Nino" to the god of the Hindus named "Krishna" in the form of a child. This is what the LORD said:

"And the LORD said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them.". (1 Samuel 8:7)

Because of their rejection of the LORD, this is the curse unto them:

"And I will give children to be their princes, and babes shall rule over them.

And the people shall be oppressed, every one by another, and every one by his neighbour: the child shall behave himself proudly against the ancient, and the base against the honourable. (Isaiah 3:4-5)

"Y les pondra NINOS por principes muchachos seran sus senores."(Isaiah 3:4 Sagrada escrituras 1969)

The children or "NINOS" became their princes and the babes will rule over them and the "CHILD" will behave himself proudly to them who made the land poor.

"Woe to thee ,O land ,when thy KING is a CHILD ,and thy princes eat in the morning. (Eclessiastes 10:16)

"Ay de ti,tierra ,cuando tu rey es NINO,y tus principes banqueten de marana. (Ecle. 10:16 Sagradas Escrituras 1569)

They have set up kings, but not by me: they have made princes, and I knew it not: of their silver and their gold have they made them idols, that they may be cut off. (Hosea 8:4)

This is what we can see in the Philippines where the king of the land is a child which they called "STO NINO" that is why the devotion is so intent among my Catholic countrymen to an "image of a male child". They have different celebrations to give honor to the "MALE CHILD or STO NINO". They have feasts for him like Sinulog of Cebu Province, Ati Atihan of Kalibo, Aklat Province or Dinagyang of Iloilo Province. They are doing this for the devotion to the "STO NINO"

Jesus Christ of the Bible never remained as a child. He grew up with wisdom even his physique. He never remained as Child Jesus:

    "And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature ;and in favour with God and man." (Luke 2:52)

The Nino or Child is not our Lord Jesus Christ. This is the image of the false god Krishna disguised as an image of the child Jesus bound with foolishness of a child in the hearts of many people.

"la necedad esta ligada al corazon del NINO ...".(Prov.22:15 la Nueva Biblia de los Hipanos 2005 lockman)

"Foolishness is bound in the heart of a CHILD..."

Many Catholics do not know that the male child or the Sto Nino they worship is not the Lord Jesus himself but the image of the Hindu god named Krishna. We cant trace this kind of worship during the time of the Apostles. No apostle worshipped a male child or Lord Jesus was called CHILD JESUS.

This worship to the CHILD JESUS is a clear pagan custom and worship of idols (read 1 Peter 4:3)

The funny thing in this devotion is that the devotees honor different children. There is a "Child doctor". There is a child dressed as a policeman. There is a Child or Nino dressed as Security Guard etc. So there are NINOS or children. (I mean Sto Nino)

Now is this the advice of Apostle Paul to the Christians?

"be not children or NINOS in understanding:." (1 Corinthians 14:20)

That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, (Ephesians 4:14)

But Blessed "He will be blessed who'll get and will cast your children or NINOS for the Big Rock.(Awit 139:9)

In that day a man SHALL CAST his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which they made each one for himself to worship, to the moles and to the bats; (Isaiah 2:20)

Which is rightfully to be eliminated and destroy to these idols of children or NINOS.

"Matad pues ahora todos los varones entre los NINOS ;matad tambien toda mujer que haya conacido varon carnalmente." (Numbers 31:17 Reina Valera 1909)

"Matad a viejos ,jovenes doncellas NINOS y mujeres hasta el esterminio pero no toqueis a ninguno sobre quien este la seral comenzareis por mi santuario comenzaron ,pues con los ancianos que estaban delante del templo.(Ezek.9:6 La biblea de las Americas 1997 Lockman)

And who put in trust in this image will be put  into shame:

Habakkuk 2:18 What profiteth the graven image that the maker thereof hath graven it; the molten image, and a teacher of lies, that the maker of his work trusteth therein, to make dumb idols?

2:19 Woe unto him that saith to the wood, Awake; to the dumb stone, Arise, it shall teach! Behold, it is laid over with gold and silver, and there is no breath at all in the midst of it.
