OkCornel: You are not under the law as a means of eternal salvation because we have been saved by Grace. But we obey the laws of God as long as we are still on Earth. Disobedience equals punishment. .I've told you to go and understand what it means to be born again. That's what will make you understand what Paul means when he's talking about the law and grace The law hasn't been thrashed or thrown away. It is now written in our hearts, that's why we obey them. Hebrews 10:6 This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them; |

alBHAGDADI: Anyhow you want to twist it, the translation of the Hebrew word used in those passages connotes rape. Go and educate yourself and stop arguing around blindly... Deuteronomy 22:28-29 (KJV) 28 If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, which is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found; 29 Then the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel's father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife; because he hath humbled her, he may not put her away all his days If what happened in Deuteronomy 22 v 28 is not rape, then why does verse 29 say that the maiden in question is humbled? Keep on exposing your ignorance for all to see. |

alBHAGDADI: So that means that the Apostles were wrong to tell the Gentiles these abi? 18 From the beginning of the world, God knoweth all his works. 19 Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them of the Gentiles that are turned to God, 20 But that we send unto them, that they abstain themselves from filthiness of idols, and fornication, and that is strangled, and from blood. 24 Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went out from us, have troubled you with words, and cumbered your minds, saying, Ye must be circumcised and keep the Law: to whom we gave no such commandment, 28 For it seemed good to the holy Ghost, and to us, to lay no more burden upon you, than these necessary things. 29 That is, that ye abstain from things offered to idols, and blood, and that that is strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well. |

alBHAGDADI: You're still exposing your ignorance. Will Pharoah still go ahead to sleep with another man's wife? Why then did he say the following to Abraham? Genesis 12 v 18-19; 18 And Pharaoh called Abram and said, What is this that thou hast done unto me? why didst thou not tell me that she was thy wife? 19 Why saidst thou, She is my sister? so I might have taken her to me to wife: now therefore behold thy wife, take her, and go thy way. |
Re: Are We Truly Not To Obey The Old Testament Laws Anymore? by alBHAGDADI: 11:33am On Apr 02, 2019 |
OkCornel: Then he would have had to kill him for his wife which is more grievous. |
Re: Are We Truly Not To Obey The Old Testament Laws Anymore? by alBHAGDADI: 11:34am On Apr 02, 2019 |
OkCornel: Mr recycler. I've explained this before. |
Re: Are We Truly Not To Obey The Old Testament Laws Anymore? by OkCornel(m): 11:45am On Apr 02, 2019 |
alBHAGDADI: And you're trying to tell us that God would have been so powerless to protect Abraham from those Egyptians? Can you see what you are reducing God to? Back to my question, how did Pharoah and the Egyptians know that sleeping with another man's wife was wrong and a sinful act? |
Re: Are We Truly Not To Obey The Old Testament Laws Anymore? by OkCornel(m): 11:46am On Apr 02, 2019 |
alBHAGDADI: Come out plainly and tell us that the Apostles were wrong to tell the Gentile Christians that the Mosaic Laws were no longer required to be obeyed by them; 18 From the beginning of the world, God knoweth all his works. 19 Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them of the Gentiles that are turned to God, 20 But that we send unto them, that they abstain themselves from filthiness of idols, and fornication, and that is strangled, and from blood. 24 Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went out from us, have troubled you with words, and cumbered your minds, saying, Ye must be circumcised and keep the Law: to whom we gave no such commandment, 28 For it seemed good to the holy Ghost, and to us, to lay no more burden upon you, than these necessary things. 29 That is, that ye abstain from things offered to idols, and blood, and that that is strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well. |
Re: Are We Truly Not To Obey The Old Testament Laws Anymore? by alBHAGDADI: 12:17pm On Apr 02, 2019 |
OkCornel: What has God protecting Abraham got to do with our discussion? I can see that you no longer have a point. Where did Pharaoh and the Egyptians tell you that they knew it was a sinful act? How come they didn't see murdering Abraham as a sinful act? Don't inject your ideas into the Bible. |
Re: Are We Truly Not To Obey The Old Testament Laws Anymore? by alBHAGDADI: 12:17pm On Apr 02, 2019 |
OkCornel: Mr recycler, keep recycling already answered questions. |
Re: Are We Truly Not To Obey The Old Testament Laws Anymore? by OkCornel(m): 1:07pm On Apr 02, 2019 |
So this is the silly response I can get after your ignorance is exposed? So if God's people are not required to conclude on unsolved cases...then why were these instructions included in the Law in the first place?! alBHAGDADI: Can you now see how your double standard is exposed? Now you realize the instructions were given "for places where God's laws reign supreme" , but when it comes to the issue of tithing...you did not bring up the issue of "for places where God's laws reign supreme" If according to you, Nigeria does not qualify as a place where the Law of God reigns supreme, why are you advocating for tithes but ignoring those instructions on unsolved murder cases? What a dubious person you are... |
Re: Are We Truly Not To Obey The Old Testament Laws Anymore? by OkCornel(m): 1:12pm On Apr 02, 2019 |
alBHAGDADI: You are an unrepentant block head, please show us where exactly in the Bible murder was not seen as a crime in Egypt. So Abraham's fear that the Egyptians might kill him actually meant the Egyptians would surely kill him if they knew Sarah was his wife? If you have trouble understanding basic English, then why did Pharoah eventually query Abraham for lying to him and deceiving him? Genesis 12 v 18-19; 18 And Pharaoh called Abram and said, What is this that thou hast done unto me? why didst thou not tell me that she was thy wife? 19 Why saidst thou, She is my sister? so I might have taken her to me to wife: now therefore behold thy wife, take her, and go thy way. |
Re: Are We Truly Not To Obey The Old Testament Laws Anymore? by OkCornel(m): 1:19pm On Apr 02, 2019 |
alBHAGDADI: Can you see how confused you are and you keep on telling more lies? So how did Job who was also a gentile who lived long before the era of Jesus able to please God? Or what of Enoch? Are these ones no longer gentiles? Dude, you are confused... 1 Like |
Re: Are We Truly Not To Obey The Old Testament Laws Anymore? by alBHAGDADI: 2:20pm On Apr 02, 2019 |
OkCornel: You accused me of telling lies, yet you couldn't point them out in my post. Knowing fully well that you could not find fault with my post, you now decided to shift attention from that failure by talking about Job. Mr recycler, haven't I explained to you how Job, Joseph and Abraham received the laws of God? You just keep bringing back the same questions. It's not even as if when I answered them, you objected. I guess you do that as a way of derailing after you've been trashed with facts. I'm even surprised you haven't quoted all those 613 laws like you use to Next. |
Re: Are We Truly Not To Obey The Old Testament Laws Anymore? by Nobody: 2:28pm On Apr 02, 2019 |
alBHAGDADI:Leviticus 20:10 Says 'you should be killed if you sleep with someone to whom you're not married' that is what is called fornication because she could carry your sperm around and infect others. So if she's not your wife or husband,the law says both of you should be stoned to death. That's the law Sir, shall we start from you |
Re: Are We Truly Not To Obey The Old Testament Laws Anymore? by alBHAGDADI: 2:31pm On Apr 02, 2019 |
OkCornel: I won't act like you who speak when the Bible hasn't spoken. I for sure know that the Bible never stated that murder was a crime in Egypt. You now have to show me where the Bible said murder was a crime in Egypt, since you claim so. Failure to do that means you have out words into God's mouth and you will be punished for it. I am not Abraham neither are you and we both never lived during his time. I have taken his words for it since he lived during his time and must have been privy of such happening. If you can't take his words for it, that's your own cup of tea Your point exactly ? Mind you, Abraham didn't lie. |
Re: Are We Truly Not To Obey The Old Testament Laws Anymore? by alBHAGDADI: 2:34pm On Apr 02, 2019 |
Maximus69: Is fornication and adultery the same thing? Leviticus 20:10 King James Version (KJV) And the man that committeth adultery with another man's wife, even he that committeth adultery with his neighbour's wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death. You cant even understand common English, yet you want to understand the Bible which is spiritual. |
Re: Are We Truly Not To Obey The Old Testament Laws Anymore? by alBHAGDADI: 2:36pm On Apr 02, 2019 |
OkCornel: God's laws reign supreme in God's house which is the Church. or don't you understand? As for tithe, is it not to be brought into God's house where his laws reign supreme? |
Re: Are We Truly Not To Obey The Old Testament Laws Anymore? by Empiree: 2:38pm On Apr 02, 2019 |
alBHAGDADI:^^^ You need not backtrack. And you need not get Islam involved. It is as clear as daylight that you believe Old laws stand, contrary to your fellow CHRISTIANs. You only have issue with me for saying "100%" sagenaija:did you read him very well?. Old laws stand. That's the point And we have a guy coming up with crazy theory about Christian follow "gravity law". I am coming for him too |
Re: Are We Truly Not To Obey The Old Testament Laws Anymore? by OkCornel(m): 2:49pm On Apr 02, 2019 |
alBHAGDADI: This is so pitiable, how can one keep telling lies repeatedly and is unashamed of it? alBHAGDADI: alBHAGDADI: You are so blind you can't see how you are contradicting yourself. First you mentioned that the Gentiles (which also includes Enoch & Job) ever had the Laws of God written in their heart, neither did they know God. And in another place, you are claiming some gentiles received the "Laws of God"... So these gentiles (Job, Enoch and some others) received the "Laws of God" on a tablet like Moses abi or God used the Heavenly delivery service to dispatch his Laws on scrolls to these gentiles abi What kind of half baked apologist is this guy? You just keep making a mockery of yourself |
Re: Are We Truly Not To Obey The Old Testament Laws Anymore? by Empiree: 2:49pm On Apr 02, 2019 |
Maximus69: You make sense small. But unfortunately your are still like other double standards Christians. Since Jesus Christ was not a Christian and he's speaking to the Jews, the implication is that Jesus himself has nothing to do with you Nigerians and people of other nations except Israelites. But if you must hold on to New testament, then old laws are binding on you, because, as alBHAGDADI rightly said, Jesus did not come to abolish the laws but to fullfil them. Jesus misson was restricted to Israelites that's where he was sent. |
Re: Are We Truly Not To Obey The Old Testament Laws Anymore? by Nobody: 2:51pm On Apr 02, 2019 |
Please distinguish between FORNICATION and ADULTERY,and tell me why both were mentioned FIRST as what will lead you to the same place as other sins you've been noisy about? Galatians 5:19 alBHAGDADI: |
Re: Are We Truly Not To Obey The Old Testament Laws Anymore? by OkCornel(m): 2:54pm On Apr 02, 2019 |
alBHAGDADI: This guy is just a shameless clown. So the goal post has shifted from Nigeria not being a country where God's Laws reign supreme to the Church now being a place where God's Laws reign supreme... You see how you keep exposing yourself? When these instructions in the Law are considered, you told us Nigeria is a country where God's Law does not reign supreme 491. Break the neck of a calf by the river valley following an unsolved murder — Deut. 21:4 492. Not to work nor plant that river valley — Deut. 21:4 But when tithes and offerings are involved, you now remember that it is in the church God's Laws reign supreme abi? Guy, you are a fraud... |
Re: Are We Truly Not To Obey The Old Testament Laws Anymore? by alBHAGDADI: 3:07pm On Apr 02, 2019 |
OkCornel: Now I know that you are an illiterate when it comes to the Bible. Dont you know that before Israel, there was nothing like gentiles? The Jewish people were the ones that now made demarcations by calling non Jewish people as gentiles. Enoch, Abraham, Job, Abel etc all received the laws of God by hearing from God which made them have faith. It was never written in their hearts, excepts you want to say God had already been doing such before he promised to do so in the new testament. Mind you, I never said Enoch or job never knew God. And mind you again, they were God's people. I only said they didn't have the laws written down in note or in their hearts. Moses was the first to document God's laws in notes while the new testament showed the first time God's laws were written down in people's hearts. Can you now see that you didn't trap me with anything? You didn't trap me but thought you did because you failed to comprehend.my post which you quoted. Did t you see how I differentiated the gentiles I was talking about that didn't know God? I did that by stating that it is the ones who served false gods that didn't know God. Can you now see how wrong you are? Wipe of your excitement |
Re: Are We Truly Not To Obey The Old Testament Laws Anymore? by alBHAGDADI: 3:11pm On Apr 02, 2019 |
OkCornel: Exactly. God's laws reign in his Church. It doesn't reign in Nigeria because we are not governed by his laws but by man-made laws. Is God's law not reigning in your church? Since it does in my church, we practice it. Guy, stop thinking you are catching me in a corner. You are simply exposing your foolishness. Christians can't go and start interfering in certain situations when they know Nigeria had its own laws. It will amount to interference, but when it comes to the church where God's laws reign, we do according to his laws. Put that in your head. |
Re: Are We Truly Not To Obey The Old Testament Laws Anymore? by alBHAGDADI: 3:14pm On Apr 02, 2019 |
Maximus69:.Because they were mentioned first, that now means they mean the same thing? Uncleanness and Lasciviousness that were mentioned second, can we now say they mean the same thing? Your Mumu never do Galatians 5:19-21 King James Version (KJV) Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. |
Re: Are We Truly Not To Obey The Old Testament Laws Anymore? by OkCornel(m): 3:18pm On Apr 02, 2019 |
alBHAGDADI: This your thick skull eh... So since God's Laws reign supreme in the church...of which we have so many in Nigeria, especially down south, why aren't unresolved murder cases treated in line with God's Laws? Or are you telling us that there are no Christian Judges or police men in Nigeria that would close out unsolved murders in line with God's Law? 491. Break the neck of a calf by the river valley following an unsolved murder — Deut. 21:4 492. Not to work nor plant that river valley — Deut. 21:4 Do you reason at all? That is an Old Testament Law, why aren't Christians practicing it? |
Re: Are We Truly Not To Obey The Old Testament Laws Anymore? by Nobody: 3:25pm On Apr 02, 2019 |
alBHAGDADI:So if God asked people to stone adulterers to death in the OT and NT says those practicing these things will not enter the kingdom,you're still confused that any of those laws means DEATH? Now who is confused? My friend whoever is committing any of these is NOT fit to live from God's standpoint so your argument is baseless! |
Re: Are We Truly Not To Obey The Old Testament Laws Anymore? by OkCornel(m): 4:03pm On Apr 02, 2019 |
alBHAGDADI: The way you keep shifting goal posts shamelessly is so amazing. And you call another person am illiterate when your ignorance is so obvious for everyone to see here. So you're trying to tell us the likes of Enoch or Job are not gentiles or what? ... Even Paul made it so clear in the scriptures who is a Jew or a Gentile...and you're here giving history lessons no one asked for. Ogbeni, your deflection strategy is not working. You goofed clearly on this one... Unless you want to tell us Job from the Land of Uz was neither a Jew or Gentile... |
Re: Are We Truly Not To Obey The Old Testament Laws Anymore? by alBHAGDADI: 6:41pm On Apr 02, 2019 |
OkCornel: You clearly cropped out the part of my post which gives the explanations you need just so you could come up with this rebuttal. Very dubious of you. |
Re: Are We Truly Not To Obey The Old Testament Laws Anymore? by alBHAGDADI: 6:42pm On Apr 02, 2019 |
Maximus69: So where did God say such people should be stoned? Your mum never do. |
Re: Are We Truly Not To Obey The Old Testament Laws Anymore? by alBHAGDADI: 6:48pm On Apr 02, 2019 |
OkCornel: Churches in Nigeria don't run the government of the country. Churches don't even run the government of any country. But we do run the affairs of our churches. Let's say you come to our church in America dressed like a woman thinking the old testament law against that has been done away with. We'll simply throw you out like a peace of junk even though gay rights exists in America. That shows that we decide what goes on in our church, but not in the rest of the world. |
