Today’s Pagan Church

April 30, 2011

Shone Bagley, Sr.

Shone Bagley, Sr.

We just got through with a pagan holiday called Easter. I could have written to you about where it comes from and give you the symbols of it’s meaning but I was led not to. Instead I want to tell you that it’s really not the holiday that matters than the churches who hold it. We tend to think that we as Christians are so right in everything. However, let me tell you your “Christian” churches are just as the Pagan’s ran their churches back in Jesus and Paul’s time.

We know that Jesus died on Friday, we called it “Good Friday” However…

Matthew 28:1-6 ( KJV ) 1In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre. 2And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it. 3His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow: 4And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men. 5And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. 6He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.

The first point is this…it was at the end of the Sabbath day when the sun was going down. We know that Jesus was not resurrected on the Sabbath day but the day after the Sabbath. You will hear preachers tell you all kinds of thoughts on why we are celebrating the resurrection on a Sabbath day, except… Sunday is not a Sabbath day! Even if Sunday was a Sabbath, then the resurrection should be celebrated on Monday. The name of a day does not matter; all that matters is that Jesus was resurrected after the Sabbath day.

Jesus did resurrect on a “Sunday” because Sunday is the first day of the week. So to celebrate the resurrection on Sunday is correct, but using Sunday as the Sabbath day the rest of the year is wrong!!! Not only is it wrong, but all of those who worship God on Sunday are not worshipping the Almighty God. If anything, on the first day of the week the one you are worshiping is Lucifer – god. After all he is the “son of the morning.”

To tell you how bad it is: Exodus 31:12-15 ( KJV ) 12And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 13Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily my sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am the LORD that doth sanctify you. 14Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you: every one that defileth it shall surely be put to death: for whosoever doeth any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people. 15Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to the LORD: whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death.

Saturday is our seventh day of our work week. If you look at the news, you hear government news reports every day except Saturday. But we know Saturday in being the money day; even though no follower of Jesus should be making money on Saturday, because it is the Sabbath day, our 7th day.

You will hear all kinds of excuses telling you why you are not keeping this commandment, but they are all wrong and they are all from Lucifer. It does not matter what Lucifer says, the fact is our calendars were given to us by the government, or better stated the Beast, and they purposed the first day to be Sunday. Still the fact is, Lucifer could not change the word of God, so Lucifer talks about government every day except Saturday.

Chew on this: to use the first day of the week to worship a God – even though God means Power, Strength, and Might – is not obeying the All Mighty Father, so the god is called Lucifer, the son of morning.

Another thing, images such as a cross, or photos, or stained glass windows within the churches as a “reminder” as a preacher once stated is wrong:

Deuteronomy 5:8 ( KJV ) 8Thou shalt not make thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the waters beneath the earth:

Lucifer has deceived the whole world of “Christian” churches who have no power. There is no power to heal the ghettos, there is no power to heal the people, because Lucifer is over the churches and they are those who are considered dead in the All Mighty’s eyes.

If you are waiting for Jesus to do it, then let me say that even Jesus told his disciples that he must go. If Jesus told his own disciples he must go, then what does that mean for you? What happened to the dominion that the Almighty God has given you? And what happened to HIS likeness that the children of God are supposed to have?

Children of God… do not be deceived!!! The Almighty God is looking at His creation of Mankind fall – fallen – into the deep of darkness. God separated the “light” from the “darkness” and Jesus stated that we should let our light shine. I hate to say all I see is darkness everywhere!!!

—– to be continued —–

Come join me to get more in depth at the Days Inn – 1840 N. 6th Street Milwaukee, WI every Saturday from 9-11am if you would like to learn how to know what God has called for you to do. No money needed. Come as you are.

Until next week…
