■ Your theory!

None of it is my theory as God of Scripture has never changed His standard or demand from the beginning even until Jesus Christ, the Last Prophet sent from the God of Israel.

And yes, Jesus Christ said it Himself that He was the Last Prophet sent from the God of Israel proclaiming that all others who would come after Him, particularly those who would use His name, were all False prophets and False Teachers.

■ Yours too doesn't! Remember you said earlier that why would the Qur'an that came later mention things from those scriptures in the past. So why should the New Testament mention the old testament too or were they written together?
■ Just stating the obvious!
■ You can continue in denial but the fact remains the obvious truth which is that Daniel, David and Solomon were inspired to do what they did. And there actions is useful for you guys! All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 2 Timothy 3:16
■ I don't ever think Ezekiel, Daniel, David and Solomon did what God didn't command except for the Biblical David committing murder and adultery!

1. No, I specifically asked you the sense in claiming that the Bible account of the David story, written by David's people, could be wrong about David but the account of a man who had no part in the history of these people, and lived more than 1600 years after the fact could be considered factual. Try not to twist my word, please. Mohammed did not quote Scripture on the David case. Rather, according to you, he wrote his own idea on the David case, an idea which cannot be validated by the people or by Scripture.

2. No Such thing!

3. It means you do not know the meaning of the term inspired or you are simply playing along with a religious script that is not unique from those fed the Christians as well.

The breath of God animates all living beings including all human beings implying that humans are inspired by God.

in·spired

1. of extraordinary quality, as if arising from some external creative impulse.
"they had to thank the goalie for some inspired saves"
2. (of air or another substance) that is breathed in.
"inspired air must be humidified"

We know that Scripture contains even the words of Satan and all Scripture is inspired by God. We equally know from Scripture that Satan's very actions run contrary to God's Law.

In the same Scripture, we are informed that God's mandate to men is absolute obedience to His Law. Outside of those commandments and statutes— the Law—, men are allowed their freedoms and choices. To argue that those personal freedoms of men, even the righteous amongst them, amongst to God's Law simply on grounds that said freedoms are inspired by Law is to suggest that even the actions of Satan are of God's Law. And if you can see, that is a contradiction right there.

4. So, they were never human beings to begin with is what you are insinuating? Those men were born angels from their mother's wombs? Anyways, according to records, David sinned against God and was punished for it while Solomon married TOO MANY wives because they lead him away into worshipping idols towards his end.

14 “You will enter the land that the Lord your God is giving you. You will take that land and live in it. Then you will say, ‘We will put a king over us, like all the nations around us.’
15 When that happens, you must be sure to choose the king that the Lord your God chooses. The king over you must be one of your own people. You must not make a foreigner your king.
16 The king must not get more and more horses for himself. And he must not send people to Egypt to get more horses, because the Lord has told you, ‘You must never go back that way.’
17 Also, the king must not have too many wives, because that will make him turn away from the Lord. And he must not make himself rich with silver and gold. - Deuteronomy 17 vs 14 - 17

The Law pretty much explained what marrying too many would lead too.

■ All scriptures are given for inspiration, doctrine, exhortation etc that the manor God may be fully furnished... All scriptures . Stop cherry picking and learn to rightly divide the word of truth.

Scripture has always been known to writings that depict the very pronouncements that come directly from God Himself. Paul never said His letters constitute Scripture either; As a matter of fact, Scripture that existed at the time of the writing of his letters was mostly the Old Testament and maybe some of the Gospel writings of Jesus Christ. So, what cherry-picking is there when asserting the Validity of the Truth of God Himself?

thrillionaire:
■ So you being an outsider can't have eternal life.?? You're damned?

Don't worry about me at all. Focus on the fact that the God of Israel and Jesus Christ made clear that Eternal Life can only be had by those who are of the blood of Jacob. I do not have a problem with that.

BeigJawnson:
■ Your message is blurry, you don't even understand what you are saying and how do you expect me to understand. You talk as if you are among God's counsel in heaven. God does whatever He likes. He can speak to people through dreams/vision.
■ He has diverse ways of speaking to people, the God of Old testament is the same with the new testament. He never changes except you want to tell me now that the God of old testament is different from the God of new testament.

1. God's Law is an ironclad contract that He requires men to live by, and this is to the letter, of course. He too is faithful to His contract meaning that He abides by that which He said He would do in the contract with men. In His Old Law, God specified that He would communicate only with His Prophets through visions and dreams.

6 God said, “Listen to me! You will have prophets. I, the Lord, will let them learn about me through visions. I will speak to them in dreams.
7 But Moses is not like that. He is my faithful servant—I trust him with everyone in my house.
8 When I speak to him, I talk face-to-face with him. I don’t use stories with hidden meanings—I show him clearly what I want him to know. And Moses can look at the very image of the Lord. So why were you brave enough to speak against my servant Moses?” - Numbers 12 vs 6 - 8.

He did not say everybody would be communicated with via visions and dreams. Please note this! Only those of them who had the spirit of prophecy on them could be communicated to via dreams and visions. That was how God defined this in His Old Law.

Now when it comes to Jesus Christ, Law and contact are completely different from the Old Law, there is no mention of dreams or visions, and there are no prophets at all in this Law. (Jesus Christ said Himself that He is the Last prophet sent/anointed/chosen from God of Israel.) This leads one to logically conclude the promises that applied only to prophets in the Old should rightly no longer apply as far as the new, unless where stipulated.

If you go back through what Jesus Christ said of the Holy Spirit— the Spirit of Truth— in John 14 vs 15-26 & John 15 vs 26 - 27 & John 16 vs 4 - 16, you would find no mention of communication by way of visions and dreams. By that, it becomes clear that these benefits are not made available by way of this particular spirit. And it is against Jesus Christ to add, remove, or change that which is specified in His Law to His followers.

I don't need to be God's counsel to stipulate that God's Law be respected as is detailed — to the letter. God's only mandate has always been obedience to His Law. And that is what I preach since that is what I live too.

2. God no be mumu! No be today Him begin to dey make contracts. So, if you think you can just add anything you like those religious men do, He does not have any need to waste His time with you either. He already said it is a sin against Him to add, change, or remove from that which He has made clear. So, I am not sure why you think you can win against God or something.

■ Are not all Israel Jewish?

Absolutely not!!!

▢ The term Jews was used to refer to the descendants of Levi, Benjamin, and Judah, who were Israelites from the Nation of Judah.
▢ The term Gentiles referred to the other descendants who were cut off from Jerusalem after the original Nation of Israel split into two Nations after the reign of Solomon. They are Israelites - Reuven, Shimon, Issachar, Zevulun, Dan, Naphtali, Gad, Asher, Joseph.
▢ The term Samaritans, equally israelites, is connected majorly to the tribes of Ephraim & Manasseh who are under the Israelite tribe of Joseph.

■ You forgot that humans are still humans.
■ The devil can still manipulate the heart of a righteous person to pray to God with evil motives.
■ And God, being God, searched the heart of the person, saw that the motive behind the prayer was not right, and then decided not to answer.
■ A heartbroken righteous person can, out of the brokenness of her heart, pray to God to terminate the life of her offender. It can happen because we are all humans, and we are never perfect.

1. Being human is no excuse for God.

2. God is no man's mumu! God does not mistakenly approve a man who still harbors wickedness in his heart. He is good(Righteous) and only He can approve a man of that.

3. Do you know what it means for God to be a Faithful God? It means He can NEVER break His Promise. His Promise to those whom He has approved Righteous is that He will always grant them the desire of their heart. When David, who was approved righteous by God even before he was made King by the same God, coveted the wife of Uziah and went as far as to kill him to get at her, God did not change His mind regarding David. Why? Because God's Word is Everlasting!

4. Again, your "I am human" excuse no matter at all where God is concerned.

You cant find truth without first questioning the age old teachings

You actually hit the nail on the head there. it is for that very reason that Jesus Christ had nothing but woes/curses to declare on al those who cling to religious and the many religious leaders beginning with those who existed during His time.

It is indeed to find the God of Israel and His Son, Jesus Christ, while blinded by religion.

thrillionaire:
The gentiles have been grafted in fella. It's pointless arguing with an ignorant you.

Be more specific cause this statement of yours does not make sense to me.

According to the God of Israel, the families of Jacob include the Jews(the family of the nation of Judah ) and the rest of Israel(the family of the nation of Israel) whom He cast out among the Gentiles for their sins around 720BC. The Jewish nation, of Judah, was inhabited by Israelites of the tribe of Benjamin, Judah, and Levi. Whereas the former nation of Israel was inhabited by the other tribes - 1 King 12

31 This is what the Lord said, “The time is coming when I will make a new agreement with the family of Israel and with the family of Judah.
32 It will not be like the agreement I made with their ancestors. I made that agreement when I took them by the hand and brought them out of Egypt. I was their master, but they broke that agreement.” This message is from the Lord.
33 “In the future I will make this agreement with the people of Israel.” This message is from the Lord. “I will put my teachings in their minds, and I will write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people.
34 People will not have to teach their neighbors and relatives to know the Lord, because all people, from the least important to the most important, will know me.” This message is from the Lord. “I will forgive them for the evil things they did. I will not remember their sins.” - Jeremiah 31 vs 31 - 34

So, when Paul, himself a Jew(of the family of the nation of Judah) spoke of the Gentiles in the context that is Jesus Christ, the Kingdom of God, he, Paul, meant to refer to the non-Jewish family of Israel. Paul's statement in that verse is his view on what it means to live one's life in continuous submission and obedience to the teachings and commandments of Jesus Christ — what it means to be in Christ.

So, what is it that you wish for me to believe instead?

AbuTwins:
■ Chai! What is the earliest manuscript of the old testament available? Probably the dead sea scroll! This was written about 12 centuries after Moses! Where is the Torah Moses wrote in existence? Do you think these old testaments Books are really what Moses wrote?
■ Moses had a revelation revealed to him as a Book! However it is lost now! The copies of copies of copies we have as retained in the Bible is dubious and marred with errors, additions, extrapolations, etc!

1. Well, the God of Israel said His Word is Eternal/Everlasting meaning that it cannot be lost or changed by human hands. I don't need to believe in the old testament books, and I don't beleive in Moses since he wasnt a god to me. I instead believe in Jesus Christ and His Father, the God of Israel.

2. Interesting! Are you insinuating that Moses did obey the commandment that was given to Him by the God of Isreal — he wrote the book —,however, the God of Israel caused the book to be lost?

thrillionaire:
So then every one of us can not have this eternal life seeing it's only for Israel? Lol

So, again, you do not believe what the God of Israel — YHWH— and His Son, Jesus Christ, proclaimed? You don't believe in them at all!

thrillionaire:
So Paul's Epistles were only his views,? Wow! You're confused. Can't banter with you.

Insulting me will not change the facts. Even Paul never referred to his letters as Scripture for good reason, so you considering them Scripture is all you and not according to what Paul himself believed.

AbuTwins:
∆ Your theory!

Absolutely none of it is theory as it is written right there in the book that

▶ Noah was justified(approved holy and righteous) because he submitted himself to living according to God's Law of His time - Genesis 6 vs 8
▶ Abraham obeyed God's every commandment and statute and was hence justified (approved holy and righteous) by God - Genesis 26 vs 2 -5
▶ Moses spent 40 years in the wilderness before God approved him and called him to step on holy ground(righteousness). - Exodus 3
▶ Aaron and Miriam were equally holy endorsed/approved righteous by God for their steadfastness to the way of their fathers. God of Isreal spoke to them - Numbers 12 vs 1 - 5
▶ David was regarded by God as a man after His own heart— a holy and righteous man— before God of Israel even anointed the boy King of Israel - 1 Samuel 13 vs 13-15
▶ Daniel as a boy dedicated himself to living according to the Law of Moses. Even when in a foreign land, he did not violate the dietary laws contained and as a result, he was approved(holy and righteous) by God of Israel - Daniel 1 vs 8 - 17...

Every single one of these men had the encounter they did with the God of Israel— YHWH— as a result of their resolve to live in complete obedience to His commandments and statutes. God of Israel made it abundantly clear from even Adam, that His only mandate is obedience of His Law. The same mandate He gave Adam is the same mandate He gave to all the others.

essentialone:
It actually has to do with the culture mores and norms in any given society and our perception and views of the human body and sexuality. Cultures throughout many ages have reduced humans as property to be bought, sold, traded or owned. Prostitution reduces the human body to a commodity thus furthering the mindset of ownership and the risk of abuse of said property. We determine how we respond or react to something based on the value we have placed upon it.

So, your idea of that which constitutes immorality is based on the opinions of individuals who happen to be in the majority at a given point in time?

Just look at this verse
John 16:13
[13]However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come,
He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.
** My God doesn't speak to one only through dreams ... He has diverse ways He speak to His people not only dreams.

1. The Verse DOES NOT say the spirit will guide you through dreams or through visions . And God is known to have communicated to His people not only via visions and dreams.

2. In Jesus Christ, there is no promise of dreams and visions like in the Old Law where God specifically mentioned them as part of the Covenant. Rather, the Spirit of Truth is promised as a guide and a counselor who SPEAKS.

Amplified Bible
Therefore if anyone is in Christ [that is, grafted in, joined to Him by faith in Him as Savior], he is a new creature [reborn and renewed by the Holy Spirit]; the old things [the previous moral and spiritual condition] have passed away. Behold, new things have come [because spiritual awakening brings a new life].

Again, God of Israel said that it is the House of Jacob that He makes His new agreement with. Jesus Christ came and said His Father sent Him to give even Eternal Life only to the Lost Sheep of Israel,the same people God raised the Bronze Snake up to in the desert. And He declared that His Word is the same yesterday, today and forever - EVERLASTING. So, I ask you again, do you believe what Jesus Christ said remains True to this day or did Paul set himself against Jesus Christ -- antichrist--- on your behalf?

thrillionaire:
Who announced these words to be God's word? Wasn't it Jeremiah? Or was it God himself that wrote it down there? I'm going by your logic.

Jeremiah was a Prophet of God, and Jesus Christ was the last prophet sent from God of Israel; Jesus Christ said all those who pretend to be of Him yet claiming to be prophets were false Prophets and False Teachers.

Paul was not a Prophet sent to the people by the God of Israel--YHWH--- and as such could not make statements differently from that already stated by the Prophets before him. Hence the reason why much of his writings were presented by him as a collection of his opinions/views in letters.

■Is it not nonsense and degrading for Jehovah to be shared 32 war virgin booties in Numbers 31:40?

Virgin is a reference to single women— women who were not married.

40 The soldiers got 16,000 women. They gave 32 women to the Lord.
41 Moses gave all these gifts for the Lord to Eleazar the priest, as the Lord had commanded him .
42 Then Moses counted the people’s half. This was their share that Moses had taken from the soldiers who had gone to war.
43 The people got 337,500 sheep,
44 36,000 cattle,
45 30,500 donkeys,
46 and 16,000 women.
47 Moses took one out of every 50 women and animals. He gave them to the Levites because they took care of the Lord’s Holy Tent. Moses did this as the Lord had commanded.
48 Then the leaders of the army (the leaders over 1000 men and the leaders over 100 men) came to Moses.
49 They told Moses, “We, your servants, have counted our soldiers. We have not missed any of them.
50 So we are bringing the Lord’s gift from every soldier. We are bringing things that are made of gold—armbands, bracelets, rings, earrings, and necklaces. This gift to the Lord is to make us pure.”
51 So Moses and Eleazar the priest accepted all these gold items from them.
52 The gold that the commanders and captains[c] gave to the Lord weighed about 424 pounds.[d]
53 The soldiers kept the rest of their share of the things they took in war.
54 Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold from the commanders and captains and then put that gold in the Meeting Tent. This present was a memorial before the Lord for the Israelites. - Numbers 31 - 40 - 54

And there is a promise that all of the holy gifts given to God belonged to the High Priest and his family, or something along those lines. I need to find where it is written.

Also, see slave ownership laws contained in the Law of Moses in Leviticus 25 vs 35 - 55

■ So dear friend,what happened to COVID finally?

It is still very much here! Only that thanks to the vaccine, there are less people to spread it around than existed back in 2020.

AbuTwins, the sad reality of religion — whether it be Judaism, Christianity, and even Islam —is that every single one of them blinds their adherents from the reality of the God of Israel. The God of Israel is not wowed by anything other than absolute obedience to His Law. His only mandate has always been the absolute obedience of His Law. That is all!

You mention David in your response as having bowed in a direction towards the temple in his time, compiled psalms, etc., but none of that was the reason why David came to the attention of God. The only reason that God of Israel paid attention to David was the fact that David attained holiness through absolute obedience to the details of the Law, and was then approved righteous by God as a result. Yes, David became a holy, and then righteous man of God before God anointed him King over Israel. That was the sauce on David's life That was the same sauce that led to the God of Israel paying attention the men such as Daniel, Solomon, Moses, etc. God never answered their requests until after they each became holy and righteous through careful submission and obedience to the letter of His Law. .

David did what God wanted which was for Him to obey His Law to the letter and for this David became the apple of God's eye; the same applies to all others who carefully obey God's Law and become Holy and righteous by God's approval. All other things, including his personal choice to write psalms, sing songs, and bow in one direction as opposed to another, mean nothing to God. Turning all those nothings into religious rituals that you then live your lives by will lead you nowhere near the God of Israel. This is the same mistake the Israelites made, that led to God cursing them and scattering them all across the world today. It is the same mistake the clones of the first religion are also all making to this day.
