Happy Day of Atonement (Day 10 Month 7) This is Yahweh’s national day of fasting and prayer. (Lev.23:26-32) This day is one of Yahweh’s Sabbath days for the nation to seek His face, repent of our sins, and humble our souls (bodies). Keeping the “Sabbaths” (Lev.26:2), including the Sabbaths of the Feast Days, Yahweh has promised to provide for our needs and drive our nation’s enemies out of the land. (26:4,5,7,8). May you be blessed with a wonderful Feast Day today! Blessings in Jesus Christ our King, Faith of the Covenant Fellowship in Virginia, u S of A.
Heirloom garden vegetables are those that have not been genetically modified and thus made into “hybrid” plants. Storebought garden seeds are almost all “hybrid” types that have been cross bred to produce larger, sweeter, or “better” fruit from the plant, which they do. The only problem, for long term survival purposes, is that these storebought hybrids won’t produce their fruit in following years from the saved seeds. Heirloom plants, however usually produce a somewhat smaller crop, but will produce their fruit year after year indefinitely, thus you will have garden food on a yearly reoccuring basis with heirlooms. I have found out one thing about heirloom seedlings when transplanting them from pots to soil in the spring. The heirlooms are much more “touchy” and have weaker beginning stems than do the hybrid plants, so be extra careful when removing them from your seedling pots so as not to damage the roots. Also take a bit more care in packing them into the soil so that you don’t break the stems. After they “take off” in about a month they seem to do just fine, but a little “TLC” in transplanting them is in order.
When should we take the bread and wine service? (communion)
The first thing to be understood about the bread and wine memorial of our Master’s death is that we Saxon Christians are the physical Israelites, and as such we are celebrating Passover with this service, as the Feast Days are still to be honored (minus the animal sacrifices since Christ came). Denominational churches that do not know who the Israelites are, automatically start off on the wrong foot in most areas of doctrine.
Jesus said in Mat.16:24 ,
“If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.”
This has many far reaching implications in all areas of our lives, including how we view certain things in Scriptures. It may appear a “nice thing” for us to have “Communion” every week, but we are to follow Christ, do as He did for examples, and deny our own reasonings. The only time Christ participated in the “Communion service” was at Passover. We are to follow Him in our actions. He knew before that time that He was to suffer, and if a weekly memorial was meant, He could have easily been training His disciples to do so long before this Passover by which He gave the command to partake of the bread and wine.
Luke 22: 13 “And they went, and found as He had said unto them: and they made ready the Passover.
14 And when the hour was come, He sat down, and the twelve apostles with Him.
15 And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer:”
19 “And He took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.
20 Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.”
8 Therefore let us keep the Feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.”
The question wasn’t here that we should not celebrate Passover, as some teach, but that we must still indeed keep it, only not with “leaven of malice and wickedness”. What is that? Paul explains in the next verse that this is wicked people who are not sincere about the faith at all. They must not participate as they are bad leaven.
10 Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world.
11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.”
13 — Therefore put away (purge) from among yourselves that wicked person.” (i.e. purge out the leaven mentioned in v.7)
This (or these people) were the “leaven” that can destroy the whole body of believers, and Paul warns us to get rid of them, especially at Holy Times such as Passover, when we would honor our King’s sacrifice on the cross. Paul tells us “Therefore let us keep the Feast” — “For even Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us”. In other words, Paul recognized that the sacrifice of Christ (honored in communion) is connected only to Passover.
The mention of “breaking bread” on the first day of the week (Acts 20:7) does not clearly suggest that this is a weekly communion service by any means, as that term (breaking bread) also meant just eating regular meals daily (Acts 2:46). Again, we would be speculating here and spinning our wheels. In truth, Passover is the only specific time clearly mentioned for the ceremony to take place.
Those who quote I Cor.11:26 “ For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew Yahshua’s death till he come” to mean a weekly memorial or a “whenever memorial”, fail to read the preceding verses where once again Paul tells us exactly when this occurred. v23 “For I have received of Yahshua that which also I delivered unto you, That the Master Jesus the same night in which He was betrayed – took the bread & wine, etc” When was this? Again here Paul clearly ties it to Passover night. The “For as often” is only seen in connotation with yearly Passover, both by Paul and by Jesus’command. Other than that we would still be guessing. There is more, but hopefully this gives some insight and food for thought on the subject. Actually, the question becomes “Do we take up our cross and follow what Christ did”? or do we speculate in uncertainty by “trying to do good” at our own times and reason? We at our Fellowship honor the communion service once a year at Passover for the reasons explained herein.
Does water baptism “save you” by making you a Christian in the water as some groups claim? The answer is “no”. The Bible teaches that water baptism is symbolic only, and that a Christian’s real baptism is an immersion into Christ Himself. (Total lifestyle change) The recently updated lesson articles at the below link answer many questions concerning water baptism, and explain why it is important to stay clear of pagan beliefs on this subject that have crept into some congregations.

The flu season is coming (man made or not) so it’s time now to build up the immune system. Three of the best reported natural agents to kill many strains of viruses are olive leaf extract, colloidal silver, grapefruit seed extract ( not to be confused with grape seed extract). All of these are available at a quality healthy food store.
By the way, those still looking for a source of laetrile (as it relates to the cancer topic) here are two places you can get it. I’d act soon, as “Big Brother” frowns on the subject of laetrile, and the sources b17- amygdalin may not be available for long.

Since America was established upon Biblical principles and God’s Laws, a lot of the discussion here in the “Politics Category” will undoubtedly overlap with some topics in the Scriptures. That’s ok. Here’s a link to our main web site’s section on Christian Law Commentaries, which goes into the subjects of American history, the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, Colonial Charters, etc. as they relate to the Christian Faith. http://www.solarsabbath.org/lawessayindex.htm
Also, if you have any timely news on current events, the NWO, the economy, political philosophy, the Obama administration, etc., this blog section is a good place to help out other truth seekers with your input.
Hello all,
We’ll be starting a topic in this blog category dealing with preparedness and survival techniques to deal with emergencies such as power outages, natural disasters, rioting, food shortage possibilities, outdoor/woodland survival and more. If anybody wants to start a discussion or has some good info to share, then post away by entering a comment. A good way to learn skills to deal with emergency situations begins with swapping knowledge with those who may have already had practical experience. For one thing, winter will soon be here and alternative fuels and heating will most certainly be taking a forefront in the winter months. Your ideas are appreciated.
Remember that our pet friends are close companions that need attention and can’t help themselves. As many people today are trying to “get off the grid”, alternative ideas pop up out of necessity even in the area of animal care. A dewormer used by many independently minded folks, to take care of parasites in dogs and cats, is the natural plant extract combination of black walnut hull, thyme, and cloves. This post is not veterinary advice, so check with your local animal hospital if you still want to go the “establishment route” for pet meds, – but here’s what I use for my dogs and cats for deworming.
I grate about a cup of green hulls from those fallen from a black walnut tree in September. I grow English thyme in my back yard, of which I pick and finely chop about a tablespoon of the plant. (you can use store bought dried thyme from the spice shelf) Next I take about a teaspoon of dried clove stems (store bought), and crush them in a bowl. I then take the grated walnut hull, thyme, and clove – put it all in a glass quart mason jar, and pour enough in Vodka to fill an inch over the level of the plant combination. The lid is screwed on and I place it away from sunlight on a shelf, but shake it once a day for about two weeks. After the mixture has soaked for the two week period, I pour the mixture (dark brown now) through a fine mesh strainer into a medicine bottle. The dosage I use on my dogs is 25 drops for medium sized dogs ( 40-
Also, pumpkin seeds contain an amino acid known as cucurbitin. This chemical agent is effective in eliminating worms, and has been used successfully against those nasty tapeworms. The de-worming agents in pumpkin seeds paralyze and eliminate worms from the digestive system in pets and humans.
How to Use:
The most effective parasitic removal from pumpkin seeds occurs when dried fresh seeds are ground into a powder and sprinkled on top of your dog’s food. Or if you prefer, made into a paste and mixed with wet dog food. A good way to home make it is by grinding raw pumpkin seeds in a coffee grinder. Dosage is 1/4 teaspoon per 15 pounds of the dog’s weight in each meal. Administer for two weeks. You can probably “Google” for your dog or cat’s specific weight dosage. Consult a holistic vet before administering.
