the temple of YAHWEH with idols? for we are the temple of the living God/Elohim; as YAHWEH said, »I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God/Elohim, and they shall be my people.«
Therefore come out from among them, and be separate,
says YAHWEH, and touch not the unclean thing;
and I will receive you, and will be a Father to you,
and you shall be my sons and daughters,
says YAHWEH Almighty. «
2 Corinthians 6:14-18

» Walk as children of light!
For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;
Proving what is acceptable to YAHWEH.
And have no fellow-ship
with the unfruitful works of darkness (idolater),
but rather reprove them.
For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret.
But all things that are reproved
are made manifest by the light:
for whatever does make manifest is light. «

Acts 2:37 Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said to Peter and to the rest of the apostles,
Men and brethren, what shall we do?
Acts 2:38 Then Peter said to them,
Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Yahshua the Messiah for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the holy Spirit.
Acts 2:40 And with many other words he testify, and exhort, saying, Save yourselfes from this corrupt (perverse) generation!
John 8:23 And he said to them,
You are from beneath;
I am from above: you are of this world; I am not of this world.
John 18:36 Yahshua answered, My kingdom is not of this world: If my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from here.
Rom. 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect will of YAHWEH.
1 Cor. 3:19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with YAHWEH. For it is written (Job 5:13),
He takes the wise in their own craftiness:
2 Cor. 4:3-4 And if our message of good tidings is hid, it is hid to them that lost (perish): In whom the mighty one/ god of this world has blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the good tidings of the glory of the Messiah, who is the image of Elohim/God, should shine to them.

» For the love of the Messiah constrains us; because we thus judge,
that one died for all, therefore all died;
And that he died for all, that they which live should no longer live to themselves, but to him who died for them and has been raised.
Therefore if any man is in the Messiah, he is a new creature (a new creation): old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new!
But all things are of YAHWEH, who has reconciled us to himself by Yahshua of Messiah, and has given to us the ministry of reconciliation;
Namely, that YAHWEH was in the Messiah reconciling the world to himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation.
Now then we are ambassadors for the Messiah, as though YAHWEH were entreating by us: we beseech you on behalf on the Messiah,
be reconciled to YAHWEH.
For he has made him to be sin for us; who knew no sin; that we might become the righteousness of YAHWEH in him. «

»There were present at that season some that told him of the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices.
And Yahshua answering said to them, Suppose you that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered such things?
I tell you, No: but, except you repent, you shall all likewise perish.
Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower in Siloam fell, and killed them, think you that they were sinners above all men that dwelt in Jerusalem?
I tell you, No: but, except you repent, you shall all likewise perish.«
Luke 13:1-5
The importance of these verse for our time:
»And Yahshua answering said to them, Suppose you that these people were sinners above all people on earth, because they suffered such things?
I tell you, No: but, except you repent, you shall all likewise perish.
Or do you think that those thousands who lost their lives in the Twin Towers of New York in 2001, as they were torn into less than one centimenter long pieces due to floor by floor explosions (precisely scheduled destruction of the support brackets of the steel girders on each floor, which led to the collapse of the towers in free fall under ten seconds), were more guilt-ridden than all other inhabitants of the world?
I tell you, No: but, except you repent, you shall all likewise perish.«
Luke 13:2-5

» I therefore, the prisoner of the Master,
beseech you that you walk worthy of the vocation
by which you are called,
With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;
Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
There is one body, and one Spirit, even as you are called in one hope of your calling;
One Master, one faith, one baptism,
One
