In Gen 9:22-27 the word of God teaches a lesson to never see fathers nakedness,
Nor nakedness of anyone (Lev. 15, 17,18,19) lust causes by vanity , 2Pet 2:18

PCG became WORSE THAN FATHERS
Jer 11:9 And the LORD said unto me, A conspiracy is found among the men of Judah, and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
Jer 11:10 They are turned back to the iniquities of their forefathers, which refused to hear my words; and they went after other gods to serve them: the house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken my covenant which I made with their fathers.
· Going to other gods is adultery, because GOD IS OUR ONLY GOD,

PCG IS COMPARED AS Ephraim
As we read in book of Joshua they were to fight and receive inheritance.
Jacob had blessed Jospeh in Gen. 49:22-26 which blessings would come to Ephraim as chosen son of Joseph, Gen. 48:20
Gen 48:20 And he blessed them that day, saying, In thee shall Israel bless, saying, God make thee as Ephraim and as Manasseh: and he set Ephraim before Manasseh.
· But Ephraim broke COVENANT, Ps. 78;9-10
Psa 78:9 The children of Ephraim, being armed, and carrying bows, turned back in the day of battle.
Psa 78:10 They kept not the covenant of God, and refused to walk in his law;
SIMILARLY Philadelphia Church of God BROKE COVENANT, Eze. 44;7--10
Therefore LEVITES are to BEAR that INIQUITY , Eze. 44;10
Eze 44:7 In that ye have brought into my sanctuary strangers, uncircumcised in heart, and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in my sanctuary, to pollute it, even my house, when ye offer my bread, the fat and the blood, and they have broken my covenant because of all your abominations.
Eze 44:8 And ye have not kept the charge of mine holy things: but ye have set keepers of my charge in my sanctuary for yourselves.
Eze 44:9 Thus saith the Lord GOD; No stranger, uncircumcised in heart, nor uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter into my sanctuary, of any stranger that is among the children of Israel.
Eze 44:10 And the Levites that are gone away far from me, when Israel went astray, which went astray away from me after their idols; they shall even bear their iniquity.
In the end PCG has to seek those blessings to Ephraim through faith in CHRIST

OFFSPRING ROOTED OUT, Job 31;8,9
Job 31:9 If mine heart have been deceived by a woman, or if I have laid wait at my neighbour's door;
Job 31:8 Then let me sow, and let another eat; yea, let my offspring be rooted out.
IF DECEIVED by a WOMAN, gone to NEIGHBOUR'S HOUSE (--Brother, Ge 9;4-7, brethren, Ro 8: 28, 29) then LIFE BLOOD of OFFSPRING is ROOTED OUT!
Job 31:7 If my step hath turned out of the way, and mine heart walked after mine eyes, and if any blot hath cleaved to mine hands;

Job 31; 7, 8, said of a TINY BLOT--
Principles for Marriage says of A TINY BLOT as NOT TO TOUCH A WOMAN
1Co 7:1 Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman.

Mal_2:5 My covenant was with him of life and peace; and I gave them to him for the fear wherewith he feared me, and was afraid before my name.
Mal_2:8 But ye are departed out of the way; ye have caused many to stumble at the law; ye have corrupted the covenant of Levi, saith the LORD of hosts.
Mal_2:10 Have we not all one father? hath not one God created us? why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother, by profaning the covenant of our fathers?
Mal_2:14 Yet ye say, Wherefore? Because the LORD hath been witness between thee and the wife of thy youth, against whom thou hast dealt treacherously: yet is she thy companion, and the wife of thy covenant.
Mal_3:1 Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the LORD of hosts.

Act_20:28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.
Sister Phebe, servant of church of LORD- Rom_16:1 I commend unto you Phebe our sister, which is a servant of the church which is at Cenchrea:Rom_16:5 Likewise greet the church that is in their house. Rom_16:27 To God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ for ever. Amen. Written to the Romans from Corinthus, and sent by Phebe servant of the church at Cenchrea.
· Women not to speak in church---1Co_14:35 And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.
· To Corinthians were taught of HARLOTS, 1 Co 6; 14-20—such women cannot teach of GOD who hates MEMBERS OF HARLOTS, 1 Co 6;15
· Sister Phebe, servant of church of LORD- Rom_16:1
· Therefore LORD destroy adulteresses who shed blood, Eze. 23;45-48
1Co 6:9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
1Co 6:10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
1Co 6:11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
Flee Sexual Immorality
1Co 6:12 All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.
1Co 6:13 Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body.
1Co 6:14 And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power.
1Co 6:15 Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid.
1Co 6:16 What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh.
1Co 6:17 But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.
1Co 6:18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.
Sanctified in JESUS CHRIST are serving in CHURCH OF LORD--1Co_1:2 Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours:
ALL IN CHURCH, even the LEAST ESTEEMED could JUDGE through WORD OF GOD--1Co_6:4 If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church.
NO DIVISIONS to be IN CHURCH OF GOD--1Co_11:18 For first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear that there be divisions among you; and I partly believe it.
1Co_12:28 And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.
1Co_14:4 He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church.
1Co_14:5 I would that ye all spake with tongues, but rather that ye prophesied: for greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying.
1Co_14:19 Yet in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that by my voice I might teach others also, than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue.
· PCG teaches things NOT WRITTEN in BIBLE, ---things of world, things of Archaeology, of celtic dances etc. are UNKNOWN in BIBLE!
1Co_14:23 If therefore the whole church be come together into one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in those that are unlearned, or unbelievers, will they not say that ye are mad?
1Co_14:28 But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God.
1Co_15:9 For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.
· Paul was of repenting attitude always
· He taught apostles should NOT BE PERSECUTING CHURCH OF GOD!
A SHORT CONCLUSION
LORD marries believers when they are freed from Law, Rom. 7:4
But not a tittle of Law will be removed, Mt. 5:17-20
HE DID NOT COME TO DESTROY LAW
Mat 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
Mat 5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
Mat 5:19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
Mat 5:20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
None is Righteous by Law, Rom. 3:10-18
Rom 3:10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
Rom 3:11 There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.
Rom 3:12 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
Rom 3:13 Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips:
Rom 3:14 Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:
Rom 3:15 Their feet are swift to shed blood:
Rom 3:16 Destruction and misery are in their ways:
Rom 3:17 And the way of peace have they not known:
Rom 3:18 There is no fear of God before their eyes.
By deeds of Law none is justified, Rom. 3:20
Rom 3:19 Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.
Rom 3:20 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
Therefore, LORD made a decree in His mercy, to make them righteous through faith in JESUS CHRIST, Rom. 3:21-24
The Righteousness of God Through Faith
Rom 3:21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;
Rom 3:22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
Rom 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Rom 3:24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
Rom 3:25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
Rom 3:26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
Grace is poured by Him being crucified and when they have faith in Him crucified they are freed of sins, Rom. 6:6,7.
Dead to Sin, BUT Alive to God
Rom 6:1 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?
Rom 6:2 God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?
Rom 6:3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
Rom 6:4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
Rom 6:5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:
Rom 6:6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
Rom 6:7 For he that is dead is freed from sin.
Rom 6:8 Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:
By counsels of Rom. 6 we know it is a baptizm unto His death, Rom. 6:3-23, which A BELIEVER has to honour.
Through counsels of Rom. 6 Baptizm, believer proves of his faith in JESUS CHRIST , them believer is given HOLY SPIRIT, Acts. 2:38,39 which would make the sinner know how and what he must do to be saved—they are to keep Statutes, Eze. 18:21,22, which are given ORACLES to Jews, Rom. 3:1-2 (Thus the gentiles to honour ORACLES given to JEWS)
Rom 3:1 What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit is there of circumcision?
Rom 3:2 - Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God.
SINS FORGOTTEN BY CHRIST OUR LORD
WHEN STATUTES (ORACLES) are KEPT
Eze 18:21 But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die.
Eze 18:22 All his transgressions that he hath committed, they shall not be mentioned unto him: in his righteousness that he hath done he shall live.
· THE RIGHTEOUSNESS the sinner did was ACCPETING LORD’S SACRIFICE which LORD had given to SAVE AND SANCTIFY ALL HIS BELIEVERS!
As written in No 1305, that I am persecuted, I had to strain my eyes on the laptop, so still I had not got healed, therefore it had disturbed my writings as eye trouble starts!
SABBATH is a sign forever, for ISRAEL, Ex. 31.17—
Ex 31: 16-Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant.
17 It is a sign between Me and the children of Israel for ever: for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.
Isa 9; 7 -Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.
8 -The Lord sent a word into Jacob, and it hath lighted upon Israel.
ALL PRAISE AND THANKSGIVING GLORY AND HONOUR POWER AND MAJESTY BELONGS TO LAMB THE CRUCIFIED CHRIST, AMEN AND AMEN
