Comments on: How Dominica’s dedication to God impacted its recovery http://www.dominicacentral.com/religion/the-god-factor/how-dominicas-dedication-to-god-impacted-its-recovery.html Fair & Unbiased Dominica News Mon, 06 Sep 2010 03:08:42 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Donald http://www.dominicacentral.com/religion/the-god-factor/how-dominicas-dedication-to-god-impacted-its-recovery.html/comment-page-1#comment-67 Donald Wed, 24 Jun 2009 20:23:47 +0000 http://www.dominicacentral.com/?p=753#comment-67 I noticed your inability to dispute the relevance of God's 4th commandment, choosing rather to talk about something that you have limited understanding while running away from the discussion like a little coward. This is not cursing you, it is just calling it as it is. 1Jn 3:4. Thanks for your pity. In your state of compassion consider Hebrews chapter 4 and Isa chapter 66:22-24, then fight with God or change what is written. Didn't Jesus say if you love me keep my commandments? Thanks again for your pity. You have again proven to me that it is impossible to justify your position on the sabbath using the scriptures. Your response reminds me of how PM Skerrit spokesmen resort to petty, unrelated and incoherent responses when they are factually challenged on the issues. Rest In Peace.

I just call sin and corruption by their rightful names. Are you too referring to Skerrit as a God? just asking, no offense. so much for the scriptures that you quoted. Are you saying that evil and sinful leaders must just be allowed to do what they want with the poor unsuspecting masses, and we have no right to point out their proven evil deeds. What then was the purpose of the prophets who were sent to warn and rebuke sinful leaders? Did John the Baptiste remain silent when the leaders committed sin? did Elijah remain silent when Ahab and Jezebel were leading the children of God astray? Did the prophet Nathan remain silent when David committed murder and adultery? Wasn't it Jesus himself who referred to the Jewish leaders as hypocrites? Have you ever read the book of Daniel? it has a lot to do with prophets speaking against corrupt and sinful leaders. The prophet Jeremiah was jailed for speaking against the sinful practices of the leaders of the day. By the way do you know what a curse is? I call sin by its rightful name.

So my friend read the following scriptures and consider the exchange between you and I finalised.Exodus.22:28,Ecclesiastes.10:20;Acts.23:5;Jude 8,9.Youcould also look at Titus.3:1,2.9.A TRUE BELIEVER WILL RESPECT NATIONAL LEADERS. ( re you assumption that I am still in the bondage of sin,there is no need to for respond to anyone who has not yet come under the influence and control of the Holy Spirit).

You must also note that the ten commandments were written by God Himself twice. The ceremonial laws which includes social and religious practices including the sanctuary service were written by Moses. This is an important distinction, since when Jesus died on the cross. the Lamb of God was slain bringing an end to the sacrificial system where lambs had to be sacrificed for sins. It was His blood that counted. According to Deut 31:26 it was those laws that were to be a WITNESS AGAINST THE PEOPLE. In Colossions 2:16 the scripture confirms that the death of Yahshua did away with the sacrificial system that was a WITNESS AGAINST THE PEOPLE. To honestly understand this discourse, you must read Colossions 2:14-16 Deut 31:24-26 and Exodus 31:18 , Exodus 40:20 Keep studying my brother, and Yahweh will reveal to you things which have been hidden from you to keep you in the bondage of sin.

In the book of Hebrews we learn that if Jesus had changed the Sabbath day, He would tell us of the new day, but because there was no change, there remaineth the keeping of the Sabbath. We are told by Isaiah says that those who are expecting to go to heaven must be prepared to keep the seventh day Sabbath in heaven. The scripture says that it was Jesus s habit to keep the Sabbath day. If the masses who follow these false prophets must begin to read the bible for themselves they will see how evil and deceptive these false prophets are. We have enough Holy days to rededicate our lives and worship our Lord. There are 52 Sabbaths in a year.

These pastors and Bishops have chosen to disobey God;s commandment. They continue to disregard and disrespect God;s Holy Sabbath day that, according to the scriptures He blessed and sanctified for the special purpose of worship to Him. These false prophets must know that there will be consequences for trampling God;s Holy Sabbath Day underfoot. God has made provision for us to rededicate our lives and worship Him once a week.

Did the pastors forget that in 2004 we were told by the PM and other members of his gang, that they had 700 million dollars in the bank ready to do business, however the first budget after elections of 2005 was just in the region of 390 million dollars. We have since seen our productive capacity diminish as this DLP government supervised the destruction of the banana industry. Agriculture production is at an all time low and diminishing. Crime and violence is on the rise, while we experience record unemployment with poverty approaching 39%. I can understand that the economy of the church may have done well since the PM gave thousands to the church to repair churches which were broken down as a result of earthquakes, but to say that the economy has improved is a lie from the pit of hell. When last did public servants get an increase in pay? We are seeing boldface corruption while the pastors remain silent. Time would not permit me to detail the corruption taking place since the so-called dedication in 2004.
