bible exposition held on zoom 29/10/2021

some people profess that they love GOD but their ways of life show that they dont love or know GOD.
Titus 1:16 (KJV) They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.

John 8:47 (KJV) He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.

we should be careful because many shall use GOD's name to deceive their fellow men, there are false prophets everywhere and we should be wise

Matthew 24:4-5 (KJV) And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

someone asked a question on why is there a celebration called the day of the dead?

And brother Eli responded by saying that it is only the catholics that celebrate it and it is not in the Bible.
catholic use that day they set aside as the day of the dead to pray for the dead who they assumed that they are in purgatory.
there is no purgatory written in the Bible and so its not of GOD.

purgatory is not written in the Bible and what is not written in the Bible should not be a basis in our Christian life. we should not go beyond what is written in the Bible

1 Corinthians 4:6 (KJV) And these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and to Apollos for your sakes; that ye might learn in us not to think of men above that which is written, that no one of you be puffed up for one against another.

everything written by apostle Paul was inspired by GOD.

it's vision of the setting of heaven and about the 4 living creatures in heaven,it was revealed to Ezekiel and also to John in the book of revelation .
Revelation 4:1-4 (KJV) After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.
And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.
And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald.
And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold.

Earth was made by GOD for us to dwell in.
Acts 17:26 (KJV) And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;
