I read an article that the ceremonial laws are not in effect. This includes the Sabbath. Is this true? Can I eat pork and go shopping on Saturday? Were some of the laws only for Jews at a specific amount of time? What does God think about this whole situation? I think I'm coming out of the fog of confusion.

Herman Cain Hospitalized For COVID-19 Hours After Condemning Masks
Former Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain has been hospitalized with COVID-19.

A spokesman confirmed the diagnosis Thursday afternoon, describing the 73-year-old as “resting comfortably” at an Atlanta-area hospital after his symptoms became serious enough Wednesday to require care, but not a ventilator.

Ya know Jack Chick, right? The guy who back in the day who made little comics with the theme of Evangelical Christianity. My dad gave me two of them around a few years ego, one of which I lost. The comics seemed cool and legit, right?

But, there's a problem.

Chick made a few comics mentioning how rock music is of the devil basically and we should stop listening to it, and, according to what I saw on Wikipedia, he believes witches invoke demons and spells into the music, basically, there's occultic stuff going on (which is practically my phobia).

So, I just wanted to ask this question:

Why does he think this? Is he right, or is he wrong?

Earth is hell for me because of my afflictions
Hell is obviously hell that you don't want to go to
and the more I think and read on heaven the more that becomes hell for me too, "think on the promises of God" I do. "focus your mind on eternity" I do. That's a big part of the problem.

I already know I have nothing to look forward to in this life, it's a complete wash for me.
but I just have this pessimistic view of heaven and the new earth too. Like I'm so used to never getting anything I want and always getting what I hate that I just don't expect it to stop in eternity, because of scripture promising an end to some things I'd like and promising me that the one thing I can look forward to is singing (which I hate) to a person who...

Not by the Law of Moses.
Deuteronomy 23.2. A bastard shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD; even to his tenth generation shall he not enter into the congregation of the LORD.

The Law AND the Prophets
Ezekiel 18:
1 The word of the Lord came to me again, saying,
2 What do you mean when you use this proverb concerning the land of Israel, saying:
‘The fathers have eaten sour grapes,
And the children’s teeth are set on edge’?
3 As I live, says the Lord God, you shall no longer use this proverb in Israel.
4 Behold, all souls are Mine; the soul of the father as well as
the soul of the son is Mine; the soul who sins shall die.

20 The soul who sins shall die. The son shall not bear the guilt of the father, nor the father bear the...

Deuteronomy 22:5. A woman shall not wear anything that pertains to a man, nor shall a man put on a woman’s garment, for all who do so are an abomination to the Lord your God.

"..and there was given to it to make war with the saints, and to overcome them, and there was given to it authority over every tribe, and tongue, and nation." Rev 13:7.

Christ's Revelation was meant for all saints,
but especially for those who will be living during the final 3 1/2 years of the Age.

The first thing we need to bear in mind is that when God's people suffered oppression and tribulation in Egypt, they remained in Egypt even while the plagues were coming upon Egypt - some of which were brought about through God's two witnesses in Egypt (Moses and Aaron):

GOD'S TWO WITNESSES IN EGYPT: TURNING THE WATERS TO BLOOD.

Exo 7:19-20 "And the LORD spoke to Moses, Say to Aaron, Take your rod, and stretch out your hand upon the...

I'm curious as to whether people are noticing a great increase of people claiming to be having dreams about the rapture? If you type in Rapture Dreams on youtube you'll see a great many claims and their stories of dreams people feel God has given them of the event.

What do others here feel about this? What are the possibilities here? They'd have to be I'd say,

1) God actually did give them what they say.

2) The genuinely did have a dream about the rapture but could be just like many dreams we might have....not necessarily from God but just a dream l Or, 3....

3) They're just willingly making up a story to get hits on line and to tell a tall tale.

Here's the thing....I don't recall through the last number of years seeing near...

regret
well, I was right.
My parents said no.
I wish I never asked. They lost it and I started crying.
I don’t know if I’m sinning by wanting to go to school.
I just don’t get it. I knew my parents were gonna say no yet I was stupid by hoping it to be any other way.
Maybe I’m a sinner for wanting this, am I loving the world?
I just want to finish my education. I do know two people there so that does help.
I’m so lost in confused.

That the Greek New Testament was manipulated is quite clear. It has been proven that the Septuagint contained the name of God and they were so respectful that they kept the name after the Hebrew language. So they did not "translate" a name, but left it as it was. But then, later on, people changed the Septuagint, changed the name of the strong God by "Kyrios" and that is not all, they also made many spelling mistakes. I am sure that also the New Testament had no "Jesus" or "Kyrios", but the true name of God and this was replaced later.
But what happened to the original New Testament? And was the New Testament initially in Hebrew? According to Jerome the Gospel of Matthew was originally Hebrew, so it is pretty sure that the whole New...
