To the Episcopal “Church” & its’ Members in the USA, and all believers in Yahushua HaMashiach (Christ),
1 Corinthians 5:9 I wrote to you in my letter not to keep company with those who whore.
10 And I certainly did not mean with those of this world who whore, or with the greedy of gain, or swindlers, or idolaters, since then you would need to go out of the world.
11 But now I have written to you not to keep company with anyone called ‘a brother,’ if he is one who whores, or greedy of gain, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or a swindler – not even to eat with such a one.
12 For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Do you not judge those who are inside?
13 But Elohiym judges those who are outside. And put away the wicked one from among you!
Judgement starts with those who are inside the “Church”. It has been shown publicly even on the Episcopal Church’s website and elsewhere that they are encouraging sexual conduct that is against the Bible. Links to substantiate that include the following:

Link #2: http://www.episcopalchurch.org/page/lgbt-church
I am not one to be quick to make statements like this publicly, but it’s clear that the TRUE believers in the Messiah/Christ need to be warned. I have never been well acquainted with all of the various Christian denominations, so I am SHOCKED to find out that one of them has had openly Gay bishops and even now openly supporting “Gay Marriage”, which is not a marriage at all. All sexual unions besides those between a man and a woman who are married to each other are an abomination and very obviously against the Scriptures.
We all have been tempted with evil desires, that doesn’t mean we need to act on them! The Episcopal Church and its’ members must realize that those who call theirself “Gay” or “Lesbian” HAVE A CHOICE.
Many will say, “I was born this way.” I question if a little baby has any sexual desire at all, but let’s assume that statement would be true and address the idea of being “born” that way first.
What if someone has a sexual desire when they were born for someone of the same gender. Does being born with that desire justify that the desire is OK in the eyes of our Creator to fulfill? Someone could claim they were born with a desire to commit adultery. Does that mean it is OK to commit adultery? Someone could claim they were born with a desire to murder others. Does that mean murder is OK?
Even if people are born with evil desires, that does not in any way justify that those desires are acceptable. You cannot justify any action simply on the basis of the fact that you were “born that way”. That is not a justification to fulfill your desires.
The first and Greatest Command which even Christ himself taught was to Love Yahweh our Heavenly Father FIRST with all your heart, mind, soul, and Strength (Matthew 22:37-38, Deuteronomy 6:4-9). That means ABOVE and BEFORE they attempt to love any other man or woman they must FIRST love our Heavenly Father and Creator. So it doesn’t matter how much someone claims they “love” some man or woman – if they engage in a sexual relationship with someone of the same gender as theirself then they are breaking the FIRST and greatest commandment to love our Creator.
To engage in a same-gender sexual relationship is to fail to obey the first and greatest commandment in the whole Bible. Nobody can be a true follower of Christ and also engage in same-gender sexual relationships. In other words, they can’t have their same-sex marriage cake and eat it too. Nobody will make it into the Kingdom or have eternal life if they don’t stop having sexual unions with someone of the same gender.
Yahushua (Christ) did not condemn the woman who committed adultery – but he told her in John 8:11, “Go and sin no more.” He didn’t say, “Go ahead and do whatever you want. Have sex with anyone you desire.” No – He said, “Go and sin no more.”.
So I am not condemning anyone, just as he did not condemn her in John 8:11. I am simply saying the same thing that Christ said – which is “Go and sin no more.” So for those engaging in sexual unions forbidden by the Bible, that would mean breaking off those relationships, repenting, and being baptized in the Name of Yahushua for the forgiveness of sins and they will receive the gift of the Set-Apart Spirit (Holy Spirit).
But if they do not turn away from this evil, then what hope is there?
Repent, Episcopal Church!
Just as a marriage between a man and a man is not a marriage, neither is someone who calls theirself a brother but engages in same-gender sexual relationships really a brother.
If you or someone you know is in this church, warn them to leave. All TRUE disciples of Christ should cut ties with anybody who claims to be a disciple of Christ but engages in sexual unions that are against the Bible. As it is written:
1 Corinthians 5:11 But now I have written to you not to keep company with anyone called ‘a brother,’ if he is one who whores, or greedy of gain, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or a swindler – not even to eat with such a one.
Same-gender sexual relationships are DEFINITELY under the category of whoring. Do not even eat with those who claim to be a brother or sister but whore in this way.
And as for those who support this whoring? Repent!
And to those of you who are in the Episcopal Church and oppose these evil sexual unions, I call upon you to leave this Episcopal Church which is in danger of apostasy and join with true followers of Christ.
Find a local 7th Day Sabbath Keeping Assembly or tune in to the EliYah.com Broadcast @ 12 Noon EST on Sabbath Day or WYLH.org Gatherings. Get out of the Episcopal Church and have nothing to do with any Church that isn’t proclaiming the Good News. The good news is REPENT and be baptized for the forgiveness of sins. Repent means to turn away from sin, and it is a sin to engage in a same-gender sexual union.
If a Church does not teach that everyone must repent and turn away from this evil, then that Church will lead you astray. You have been warned.
Ephesians 5:11 – And have no fellowship with the fruitless works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
Revelation 18:4 – And I heard another voice from the sky saying, “Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues.
There may be other churches which many of our Creator’s TRUE children need to come out of – but for the Episcopal Church it has been made abundantly clear. Come out of her! Come out of the Episcopal Church!
In addition, I call upon all believers to examine this website called 2nd Vote which after further investigation may prove to be revealing which companies are supporting evil things as well: http://www.2ndvote.com
From there I looked into the Marriage issue and found an ABUNDANCE of information showing which companies have supported Gay Marriage.
From that, I further found online directly from the Website of the United States of the Supreme Court a Document showing 379 Employers & Organizations which signed an Amicus Brief in SUPPORT of Gay Marriage. This Amicus Brief was sent to the U.S. Supreme Court. CLICK HERE TO SEE THE DOCUMENT DIRECTLY ON THE US SUPREME COURT WEBSITE.
Once you are in that 127-Page PDF file go to page 17 of 127 to begin to see the list. That along with the list from the 2nd Vote Website is ASTOUNDING.
Let me Highlight a few of the Big-Heavy-Hitters which all of us are probably involved with:
Visa – On the above linked document from the Supreme Court website, Visa Inc signed the Amicus Brief shown on page 28 of 127 of this PDF file (page # -13- at top of page). Click here and go to page 28 to see for yourself!
Microsoft – On the above linked document from the Supreme Court website, Microsoft Corporation signed the Amicus Brief shown on page 24 of 127 of this PDF file (page # -9- at top of page). Click here and go to page 24 to see for yourself!
Apple – On the above linked document from the Supreme Court website, Apple Inc. signed the Amicus Brief shown on page 18 of 127 of this PDF file (page # -3- at top of page). Click here and go to page 18 to see for yourself!

Businesses range from Tooth paste companies to Electronics to Data processing, etc.. You pretty much have to get in an assembly of believers in a small country town somewhere and rely upon each other if you want to get out of this “system” in which all these companies exist and which most of us rely upon.
It looks pretty apparent that most of us in big cities and even some of us in small cities cannot do any business at all unless we associate with these companies which are openly supporting these abominations. I am strongly considering some major changes in my own life. Should we just continue to rely upon such companies in the long term for our daily support and ministry and other efforts? Or should we seek to break free of their grasp and gather together as a body of believers?
Update To This Post: I am not saying it is a requirement to stop doing business with these companies. We do see in Scriptures that we are told:
1 Corinthians 10:25 – You eat whatever is sold in the meat market, asking no questions because of conscience,
Sin existed back then also, yet we don’t see any admonishments to avoid certain vendors or markets. So I can’t say 100% that it is a requirement to avoid the merchants and vendors who are supporting evil things. If it is a requirement, why don’t we see admonishments to avoid such merchants?
However, I understand a bit more why some believers may feel led at some point in their life to gather in the Wilderness and seek to get separated from the system where all these merchants are supporting these abominations. I don’t know if the Father wants me to continue to live as-is, and continue doing business with companies, merchants, etc. who have contributed and may continue to contribute to these abominations. I think it may be time for all of us to seriously consider how we live our life and what Yahushua has called us to.
Maybe judgment really is coming in our lifetime to this nation of the United States. I don’t know for certain. But I am questioning what changes the Father wants me to make in my own life and considering and seeking Him out to see if He wants me to rely less upon these merchants, their products, or the technologies they sell to do anything. We need to have a clear conscience. I can’t say it’s a requirement to stop doing business with them, but I certainly am feeling led to consider alternative ways of living if that is the Father’s will.
When do we draw the line? That’s the question I am wrestling with myself.
How long, oh how long, do we have left before things change?
May YHWH our heavenly Father guide me, and you, and all of us to do His will and have mercy upon us all.
UPDATE: Wow… look @ this Supreme Court document showing more religious organizations supporting this abomination. Those organizations supporting this, like the Episcopal Church, needs to repent.
