Independent Church of God, 7th Day

1 Thessalonians 5:21-22 "Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. Abstain from all appearance of evil."

Welcome to the Homepage of the
Independent Church of God 7th Day.

Have you fully considered why you believe the things you do about the Bible? Can you honestly say you have followed the Scriptures to God's satisfaction?
Jesus Christ said during His temptation by Satan the Devil:
Matthew 4:4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
Jesus Christ is occupying His own throne on the right hand of God today, because He did not obey Satan. He lived by EVERY WORD that came out of the mouth of God.

Does God judge us by how we obey Him today?
1 Peter 4:17-18 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?

What does God expect us to be doing?
1 John 2:3-6 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him. He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.

Jesus Christ kept the 7th day Sabbath. He kept God's Holy days listed in Leviticus 23. Do You? Do you keep all 10 commandments? Have you taken the time to thoroughly prove what God's Word says? We can never take someone else's word for what the Bible says, because Jesus Christ plainly said in:
Matthew 7:21-23 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

If you truly seek to prove all things, you will prove the following Protestant theological beliefs to be outright lies that you must reject as evil:

Once saved, always saved,
Going to heaven or hell at death,
The rapture,
7 year tribulation,
Born again now,
Good Friday, Easter tradition,
Sunday keeping instead of the 7th day Sabbath,
The Law (10 Commandments) done away with at Jesus' death,
Faith alone without works,
The Trinity.

These are just a few of the Satanic lies that the Christian world has accepted instead of the glorious truth of God. Please read and study the Sermons and Articles on our website. We have nothing to sell. God's example from scripture says:
Matthew 10:8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.

But the Word of God goes much deeper than merely refuting Satanic lies and proving what the truth is. God's churches have rejected many of Satan's lies, but are openly rejecting God Himself because they are refusing to live in Faith.
Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
Very few among God's churches today understand what Faith, Grace, Mercy, Judgment, or Godly Love is all about. That is why at the end time the love of many will wax cold. Jesus said in His Olivet Prophecy shortly before His death, that just before the very end, the world would begin to persecute God's people.
Matthew 24:9-12   Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.

The Churches of God today are in trouble, and they don't even know it! God's true believers are as scattered as they have ever been. With so many organizational splits or breakups, many of God's people are left to spiritually fend for themselves in a world of complete religious confusion.

This is not new though because about 2000 years ago the Apostle Paul stated in 2 Thessalonians 2:7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work...
It seems people forget Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness (wicked spirits) in high places.

So, WHY ARE WE HERE?

We are an assembly of people that are contending for the faith once delivered. We believe we must be diligently seeking God. Through obedience to the truth we are striving to show our faith by our works.

Our purpose is to preach the Gospel of the coming Kingdom of God with a message of repentance as a warning to this present evil world before the return of Jesus Christ as King of Kings and Lord of Lords and to minister to the needs of those that God sees fit to bring into contact with us. We welcome anyone seeking the truth to our fellowship.

Because of the unrepentant sin that is in the Church, God may not dwell among various church groups or organizations of men. Therefore, we are recognized as non-denominational and independent.

A Sample Of Our Doctrines
We believe in:
1)        The 7th Day Sabbath
2)        God's Holy days (the Passover on the very beginning of the 14th)
3)        The clean food laws in Leviticus 11
4)        The Hebrew Calendar

We also believe:
1)        That homosexuality is a sin
2)        That the use of the medical profession is idolatry because God is our healer. Exodus 15:25-26 ...there he made for them a statute and an ordinance, and there he proved them, And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee.
3)        That Godly Love among God's people is the result of each person embracing and faithfully keeping the Ten Commandments by being a profitable servant.

In Conclusion
We greatly lament the fact that Laodicean attitudes permeate the Churches of God today. We realize that genuine repentance is the only sure way to change this. We are striving to come out of this Babylonian world and it's whole counterfeit system of false gods and obey Almighty God as He commands. We want to provide a witness and a warning to the church and to the world so that the glorious Kingdom of God can be established on this earth at Jesus Christ's triumphant return.
