!START HERE!

For those coming here for the first time, this site can be a bit overwhelming. There is a lot of content here – much of which may challenge some of the things you’ve believed most of your life. To be honest, much of my own beliefs have been significantly challenged and this site reflects the personal journey of discovery that I’ve been on since about 2010.     What is the... read more

Divisive or United?

Published by Rob Skiba December 27, 2014 at 2:51 PM Luke 12: 51 “Do you think that I have come to give peace on earth? No, I tell you, but rather division. 52 For from now on in one house there will be five divided, three against two and two against three. 53 They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law... read more

Truth Seekers or Posers?

Published by Rob Skiba December 24, 2014 at 6:56 PM I’m curious (and this is NOT aimed at any one person in particular – it’s just a general observation based on NUMEROUS interactions I’ve had with MANY here on Facebook and elsewhere): How does one claiming to be a “truth seeker” justify that title when they won’t take a firm (Biblical) stand for it? In other... read more

Holidays – Each of us should be fully convinced in his own mind?

Published by Rob Skiba December 24, 2014 at 4:16 PM The two Scriptures I hear most mis-applied to issues such as whether or not we should observe the Sabbath or so-called holidays like X-mess and Ishtar Day are Romans 14:5,6 and Colossians 2:16. So, I feel it is important to address them both here in a NOTE. In context, the issue being discussed in Romans 14 was FOOD (vegetarians vs meat... read more

December 23, 2014 at 1:11 PM The following compilation of historical facts are taken from: http://www.biblestudying.net/churchhistory5.html and are provided here for your consideration:It is a historical fact, that for 200 years after Christ the church did not celebrate Christ’s birthday or any holiday on December 25. And it wasn’t until sometime in the middle of the 300’s AD that most of the... read more

Santa Claus – Defender of our doctrine?

Published by Rob Skiba December 9, 2014 at 2:51 PM A prominent X-mess defending “theologian” recently posted an link to an interesting article while proudly proclaiming Santa Clause is the “Defender of orthodox trinitarian theology.” The posted link is to a website that says… “The best story about him is that he went to the council of Nicaea in 325 and became so... read more

A cry of LOVE from heaven (and me) to you…

Published by Rob Skiba December 2, 2014 at 2:09 PM Before you read this note, I want you to go and get your Bible. Seriously. Go get it. Got it? OK, now open up to Matthew 1 and hold the entire New Testament in-between the fingers on your right hand. Then look at the amount of the book we call the Bible that is in that hand and compare it to what is left on the other side. You’ll quickly notice that... read more

Does YHWH like our X-mess songs and holiday celebrations?

Published by Rob Skiba November 26, 2014 at 2:45 PM Exodus 32:3 And all the people brake off the golden earrings which were in their ears, and brought them unto Aaron.4 And he received them at their hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool, after he had made it a molten calf: and they said, THESE BE THY GODS, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. 5 And when Aaron saw it, he... read more

Problems with a Sukkot birth for Yeshua

Published by Rob Skiba November 25, 2014 at 3:09 PM The signs for the Alpha and Omega were set in motion from the Beginning to the End… Genesis 1:14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: Revelation 12: 1 And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman... read more

The Deuteronomy 12 Test: Read at your own risk…

  Published by Rob Skiba August 13, 2014 at 3:23 PM The Deuteronomy 12 Test This is something that I have become more and more passionate about. We learn in Deuteronomy 12 that we are not to worship YHWH the same way the heathens worship their false gods. DEUTERONOMY 12:  28 Observe and hear all these words which I command thee, that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after... read more

Why Singing “I did myyyyyyyy wayyyyy.” Won’t Go Well For You

Published by Rob Skiba June 15, 2014 at 4:50 PM Frank Sinatra is well known for his famous song, “My way.” But as I look at the Scriptures concerning how YHWH is to be worshipped, I can’t see those {SIN-at-ya} lyrics working out too well for anyone who wants to do it their way instead of HIS way. Indeed, Yeshua seems to be warning against that menality in… Matthew 7: 22 Many... read more

The 12 Facebook Days of X-mess

Published by Rob Skiba December 24, 2013 at 4:25 PM Click this link to listen as  you read: http://www.babylonrisingblog.com/mp3/12FacebookX-mess.mp3 In light of the many responses I’ve received to the various anti-Christmas posts I’ve been making over the past two weeks or so, I decided to write a goofy little song to the tune of the 12 Days of Christmas: On the first day of X-mess... read more

Celebrating Christ the King?

December 22, 2013 at 4:19 PM So, Sheila and I were invited to a typical church service this morning to celebrate the baptism of a family member. As you might expect, it was all about Christmas. They sang lots of songs and read Scriptures about “our king” being born to us THIS DAY (of course in reference to December 25th). Some thoughts occurred to me, which made my spirit grieve exceedingly.... read more

Stop Lying Church!

Published by Rob Skiba December 19, 2013 at 2:09 PM Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 1 Cor. 13:6 Therefore, it is in love that I share what I share {CAPPING for emphesis only} concerning this issue. We are to worship God in spirit AND in TRUTH [John 4:24]. This simply can NOT be done while perpetuating and justifying a flat-out lie. Dear Christian, pastor, evangelist, missionary,... read more

September 11 – HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESUS!

September 11, 2013 at 12:57 PM For many today, September 11, is a terrible day full of bad memories and the loss of loved ones. How amazingly “coincidental” that the Illuminati would pick a day that should be full of joy and make it into a day of terror. Why joy? Because it was on this day, nearly 2016 years ago, that our Savior was born. Happy Birthday Jesus! The following is from my first... read more

MY POST PAGAN HOLIDAY APPEAL TO FRIENDS AND FAMILY

Published by Rob Skiba December 26, 2012 at 1:52 PM MY POST PAGAN HOLIDAY APPEAL TO FRIENDS AND FAMILY: A lot of people think I’ve gone off the deep end with this anti-Christmas and Easter stuff, and assume I’m becoming a legalistic Judaizer, a hater or some other nonsense like that because we’ve thrown those pagan holidays out of our home. When in reality, we’re simply trying to... read more
