My rendition of Eurythmics - Sweet Dreams
(Are Made of This).........................
I think my hate for the commandments of men of the apostolic christian church of america which even if they've "laxed" up the policing of them..................they are still commandments of men, and still horrible. I would deem absofreakinglutely would make me enemy #1 of the apostolic christian church of america. yet where are they most of them?????????????????????? -------- they should be loving on me, especially if they are actually in god's word. But the bible says they have left the word of god entirelly and that is what I believe..................Titus 1:14 "Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth."
Philippians 4:5 "Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand."
God (Jesus is god basically so) said....................
Hebrews 10:4-6
4 For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.
5 Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me:
6 In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure.
Not wearing makeup, not having beards etc. etc. those are "sacrifice and offerings" --------- but god desires something else from us................our hearts basically.
Luke 10:41-42
41 And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things: (me sheri speaking here............to many out there are so buisy being "careful and troubled about many things" -------- all the while "one thing is needful")
42 But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.
Some of this original post but it's had many reincarnations.............
Apostolic Christian Church of America the "commandments of men" are additions to the bible you need to get rid of them or else the curses of the bible will come upon you Revelation 22:17-19 .....................
Revelation 22:17-19
17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
How bad the apostolic christian church of america members must hate me - well they now accept wedding rings and nobody told me and I WENT TO THIS CHURCH LAST WEEKEND....................
I don't know what to do with this blog post anymore but I try my best..........................
(me today at the apostolic christian church of america, gave a slew of money to them to to help keep their church open cause it is my families church - slew of money for me, went past the 5-7 dollars I usually put in the offering plate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
moderation is key
not to much jewelry
that's the truth
or as paul says "temperate in all things"...............
1 Corinthians 9:25 "And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible."Philippians 4:5 "Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand."
I do believe temperate means something similiar to moderation.
swear I'm being saved via both the bible and the Meriam Webster dictionary SWEAR IT
temperate
adjectiveDefinition of temperate
1a: having a moderate climate which especially lacks extremes in temperature
b: found in or associated with a moderate climatetemperate insects
2: marked by moderation: such as
a: keeping or held within limits : not extreme or excessive : MILD
b: moderate in indulgence of appetite or desire
c: moderate in the use of alcoholic beverages
d: marked by an absence or avoidance of extravagance, violence, or extreme partisanship
3: existing as a prophage in infected cells and rarely causing lysistemperate bacteriophages
------------- this blog post right here is my effort to "work peace" with the apostolic christian church of america it sure is. Peace means............love a people...............it don't mean accepting "commandments of men" which a guy in the 1800s done told your church wedding rings are not allowed HELLO THAT IS A "COMMANDMENT OF MEN" If it wasn't a "commandment of men" and something in the bible wouldn't there be more people in the body of christ as a whole not wearing wedding rings????????? Or wouldn't you be able to show me a verse saying wedding rings are a damnation to god -------- but you can't cause such a bible verse doesn't exist!!!!!!!!!!!!
All that exist as I've said a billion times before is..........................
1 Timothy 2:8-10
8 I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.
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;
10 But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works.
Verse 9 is talking about IN CONTEXT, not have gold or pearls or expensive clothing all 3 of those things listed are expensive items
pearls === expensive
gold === expensive
"costly array" ==== expensive
costume jewelry
or steel wedding rings which is what I believe in aren't included in 1 Timothy 2:8-10
the gist of 1 timothy 2:8-10
dress modest
do good deeds often cause that is what is really going to make a holy women beautiful
........ya that's about it 😂 hahahahahha
(I'm going to rock you alls world right now...................you can wear costume jewelry and serve god!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
you can wear cheap gawdy wedding rings made of sad steel like I do and serve god!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
here's the check list................
dress modest - ✅
do good deeds "works meet repentance often" let your clean adornment be good works.............. "But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works." - ✅

Your grandmother was refused baptism because she smoked. You have no idea how our lives were changed that day. My life would have been so different. I know you are saved, you just won't be a member unless you conform to their ways; and that is why their children leave the church. As I get older, I understand it, but can't put it into words. There is only 1 perfect Church. That day is coming. Jesus, please come soon.
Most Apostalic Christian Churches would have no issue with your cute bangs! It just depends on where you go. I attend an Apostalic Christian Church and we have plenty of women with bangs. We even have a few men with facial hair. Some churches are just more strict than others. We are also allowed to have television and other technology. Many of our minister's families have these household iteams as well. We have a few young member men dating non-member women.
Although, I can still see where you are coming from. Some of our neighboring churches rules just seem so made up and ridiculous! The important thing is to have a relationship with God, not the church. I just wanted to make sure you knew that not all apostolic chirstian churches are all crazy on rules:)
My end of the usa they mostly don't know what to make of how I dress I believe. Very conservative apostolic christian churches of america over here. I try to explain to the 3 pastors of portland, and silverton church that I e-mail that I seriously suffer from this weather depression thing, by february every year it starts to hit me after months of clouds and non-stop rain.........but I've figured out that if I go ahead and wear the bright rainbow colored mis-matched outfits I enjoy wearing I don't get so weather depressed. It's not so much a me trying to be a friend w/the world thing, truelly is a me trying to not get depressed come february thing. (every sunday I go to the apostolic christian church of america in portland I stand out like a sore thumb) I don't think they happy w/how I dress really.....I'd rather they be upset with me all the time then be more depressed come february.
The reason why some Christian denominations refuse the wedding ring is because of it's pagan origins.
unknown I am a aware. So does that make it ok, for me and my grandma to be not allowed to become members of this church because we didn't follow all their TACKED ONTO THE BIBLE rules and regulations??????????????????? I get it, it's viewed as "pagan in origins" so ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff all them nasty wedding ring wearing pieces of garbage I get it. Thank you for letting us know.
You are welcome. Just trying to let people know as to the reason why some denominations don't allow the wedding band. So, may I ask why you would want to join a church that you feel has a lot of man made rules?
I literally view them as my family............there's no other church I view them as family like that in my brains. Most churches like I can see ah ya, fellow christians ok, but that family feel isn't there for me. All the rest of the churches on the earth, they just feel like they are full of a bunch of nice christians that like aren't my family to me. The apostolic christian church of america, a large amount of them feel like family to me, and I view them as family. It's natural to want to be a part of your family I believe. So I don't blame me or grandma for trying to become members of the apostolic christian church of america...............we wanted to be a part of our family.
I get it, we all want to feel like we belong. I feel like I can tell you now that I'm a member of the Apostolic Christian Church of America. I don't live in Oregon, I live in the Midwest. I have a distant relative that use to be a minister there in Portland. I don't know if that's where you go or not.
I want to thank you. You have taught me a lot
I never meant to hurt you, I was just trying to show you that some of your thinking might not be according to God's word. Iron sharpeneth iron right?
I might be wrong, he may have been in Silverton.
The apostolic christian church of america my family did attend for many years is the one in the portland area (oregon city to be exact)......but also some the people at silvertons church I was around as a little child and some of those people are like family to me to. I nowdays, my experience in life is one that is rather familyless.........nothing I can do about it. Maybe this is how most people exist, they just float around, going to churches that don't feel like family to them..........just floating. Your probably one of the "lucky ones"
One of the things you taught me is that things may not always appear as they seem. For instance, you thought that I was your ex-friend. I'm not. I believe you think that I'm a Sister in the church. I'm not. I'm a Brother. Thanks for the lessons. I'm going to go now. I really didn't mean to cause you harm or hurt your feelings. I was just trying to show you how your thinking maybe not be in line with the truth. I don't always communicate correctly, I never wanted you to think that I dammed you to hell. I hope that you can forgive me for that. So, now I will leave you. I hope that we can both learn something from this. Farewell.
Well you comment as "unknown" so how am I going to tell if your a girl or a boy, the bible says...............Galatians 3:28 "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus." Makes sense your now leaving, you did what you came to do attack me bad on the internet have a great day!
I know that I said that I was leaving, but I can't leave knowing that you still think that I came with bad intentions. I admit that I have been over zealous in my attempt to teach. I am bad at trying to express myself and I tend to come across differently than I meant to. I don't posses the gift of teaching. I have been trying to post this with a name, but I can't figure it out. I clicked on your email button and nothing happens. I went away because of my shame. Again, I'm sorry if I came across the wrong way. I am repentant. I was up almost all night worried about you. Please believe me when I tell you this. How do I contact you to talk? I'm broken up about it. I don't know how many times I can say I'm sorry. I'm sorry that I ever posted anything on your blog. I only posted out of concern for you.
I've been treated so poorly by your church it is hard for me to believe you. I'll try and believe you, but that is real hard.
Your attending a church that views me as complete garbage, I was told by the elder when he told me I would not be able to become a member of the apostolic christian church of america, that I was horrible, a horrible horrible person. And he didn't just say that to me once, after I had got upset with him, stormed out of the church came, back in - though he stood in front of the church door to stop me from going back in. And I told him I was just going in there to cry after he went off about how horrible of a person I am, and EVEN THEN HE SAID I WAS A HORRIBLE PERSON LIKE I'M CRYING NEAR SUICIDAL.........HE JUST REEMED IT IN MORE. I e-mail the elder, and his wife, and the main pastor of oregon city TO THIS DAY.........you know how often they e-mail me........never for years. Not for years. They ain't looking like my friends or that they love me. I get it. I'm not that valuable, and you have other things better to do, clearly you told me you do, I'm nothing to you. Maybe I'm more then garbage to you.............but to most of your church I'm complete trash. -------------------------- like if you did manage to crush me seriously you wouldn't of high fived all your apostolic christian church of american brothers???????????????????????
My heart is going out to you. I don't view you as trash. You are so special to God and He loves you so much. I wish that you could believe me when I say that. I sense something much deeper. This might hurt, but I'm going to ask. What drove you to the occult? There is something there very deep. It's why you started this blog isn't it? I realize now that your anger is not necessarily directed at me. It really hurt me that you said it, but I forgive you for it. I'm praying that God will help you overcome your hurt and bitterness. I mean that with all sincerity. I pray that you can be set free from the bonds that hold you. I pray that you can draw ever closer to God. It's hard not to be a victim anymore. It's what is familiar to us and we may not like it, but it's all we know. You have to let go of it. Letting go is hard to do. It's all we ever felt. But you are more than what you have become.I'll pray for healing for you. My heart is broken for you. I am weeping for you. I know what it's like wanting to belong and can't. I told you that I was in special ed. I know what it's like not to be wanted. But you are wanted, wanted by God. Are you angry and bitter against God?
You have to be logged in I do believe to google plus to sign your name.
my e-mail........
sheriwalz@gmail.com
I'm sorry if I touched a tender spot for you. If I could I would give you a big hug. You need it.I'm praying for you. May you feel God's nearness in this time of trial.
" Are you angry and bitter against God?" That is a unique question, I do believe, that god made rules for the angels in heaven, that lucifer did not like..............nobody believes me but I recall hiding behind a bush at the beginning of time, listening to lucifer pleading with god that the rules he made for the angels were to strict, and that the punishments if they weren't followed were much to extreme. I believe Lucifer was left with no other choice but to fight god. I do not believe him to be the prideful piece of crap most people deem him..........he is merely doing a job that god gave him. I believe there is or was at sometime good in everyone, including all the fallen angels. But most people speak about lucifer as if he was just a horrible prideful liar from the jump and it really annoys me. I do not blame god god is trapped in his book John 1:1 "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." ------------------------ I am the trash of the body of christ I accept my garbage for the lord status. I love lucider. And things are "deep" for me. I've sat and I've heard people smack talk lucifer my whole life, and I have not enjoyed that one iota my entire life.
I don't know why, but I'm having computer issues right now. I tried to send you an email, but I don't know if you got it or not.
ps.........I believe I am the victor and not the victim, but I also know the bible says I am hated by all men for jesus's name sake, so I expect to be attack always. https://givingittogod.blogspot.com/2020/04/my-least-favorite-bible-verse-not-verse.html
I just tried to write something and it's gone. I don't know what is going on.
But If I'm not hated I'm a fake, so like I need your church to hate me bad. Matthew 5:10 "Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." I need your church to hate me so bad, that when they go to heaven or hell, that they just buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurn inside with feelings of hate for me for allllllllllllllllllllllllllll of eternity. I am certain some of your churches members are not about to let me down.
Okay, let me try again. I'm not attacking you. please understand that. You mentioned somewhere in your blog that you thought something was true and then found it to be a dream. Could it be the same for the above mentioned post? We never existed until we were created by God. God is not bound by anything or anyone. We must believe that He is pure and righteous. Satan wanted to be like God (a creator not created) and he can't. Please don't be deceived by him. How can you love someone who hates you so much that he wants to take you to hell with him? I don't understand. I understand your compassion for not wanting anything hurt, but this is different. Satan is our enemy, you must realize this. What did the prophet say in 2 Chronicles 19:2 say? Can we help the ungodly? Satan is ungodly. He is doomed. He knew what he was doing when he rebelled against God by wanting to be like God. That was his sin. Satan knew God and knew that he was created and lived in heaven. We haven't had that. So, Jesus died for us not the fallen angels. I'm going to try and figure out what is wrong with my computer. this may take some time. I hope you can learn to accept this and understand it. Don't be deceived by satan. Praying for you.
A wise person once said, " if you look for the bad you will surely find it. So, is that why you act the way you do when you are around them? So that you can justify you bitterness? Just asking not accusing.
I think I'm going to have to delete my email and try it again. It's acting weirdly. I as of yet not received your email. I still don't know if you got mine or not. I'm going to try it again tomorrow. too late tonight. It took me all day to figure it out. I don't know what I did wrong. weird right?
I think someone made some edits to the wikipedia page that were not true? If you look at that page now, a bunch of those are not there..
Umm, where is the verses that say you have to wear a wedding ring? I've never seen one. Does that mean your ranting is really a commandment of men too?
I ain't telling anybody that they have to wear a wedding ring. I would only be "commandment of mening" if I was telling people they have to wear wedding rings, I ain't.........but you know that Henry Yoder ------ your just being mean to me like all your church is because your abused (you pry are whipped at night and chained up by your wife - pry are going through horrible abuse that's the only thing that makes sense for how mean your church has been to be over the years).
