PastorAIO:


The point is that Paul is giving his own personal advice. I'm not criticising what he said. I'm not saying you should divorce anybody. I highlighted the point I was making.

Paul was giving his own personal advice and admits it, and it is a part of our bible. Therefore the bible is not entirely inspired by the holdy spirit.
Geddit?

PastorAIO:


Okay, please enlighten me, if I'm ignorant.

Why did the disciples ask Jesus what sins the blindman/parents had committed?

Why would Jesus pronounce forgiveness of sins to a man that was brought to him because the man was crippled?

Wny did James speak thus? :

Is anyone among you ill? Let them call the elders of the church to pray over them and anoint them with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise them up. If they have sinned, they will be forgiven. Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed.

Continue posting whatever you believe then. Those who read their Bibles only laugh when they see foolish philosophies from confused men.

PastorAIO:


Have you noticed that inspite of your bleating on about the bible you haven't quoted or argued from the bible. I keep presenting bible passages and you don't even counter them with bible passages of your own. You don't even address the bible.

Geist:
This post of yours caught my attention and would like to ask. Do you one's personal opinion can be different from that which he is inspired to write. Say for example Paul is inspired to write one thing but his personal opinion is something entirely opposite. What am driving at is that, I might be a big fan of you on this forum that your posts inspires me to make a drawing of you. Wouldn't that drawing still be my opinion of what you should look like?

PastorAIO:


Abego!! E be like say you dey taya!! Nor tire for truth o! We just dey start. There is more to come.




Nonsense!! I knew that lack of english comprehension is at the basis of a lot of these problems.

inspire
ɪnˈspʌɪə/
verb
verb: inspire; 3rd person present: inspires; past tense: inspired; past participle: inspired; gerund or present participle: inspiring

1.
fill (someone) with the urge or ability to do or feel something, especially to do something creative.
"his philosophy inspired a later generation of environmentalists"
synonyms: stimulate, motivate, cause, incline, persuade, encourage, influence, rouse, move, stir, spur (on), goad, energize, galvanize,

2.
breathe in (air); inhale.
"they can expand their lungs and inspire enough gas to satisfy oxygen requirements"

Origin
Middle English enspire, from Old French inspirer, from Latin inspirare ‘breathe or blow into’ from in- ‘into’ + spirare ‘breathe’. The word was originally used of a divine or supernatural being, in the sense ‘impart a truth or idea to someone’.
Translate inspire to
Use over time for: inspire

I've never heard of your definition of Inspire before. Is there any literature you can quote that uses the word in that sense?




Nope! That is not the meaning of inspiration. When a teacher teaches you he has simply taught you. If however the attitude of the teacher compels and propels you to create new ideas, or to research and make new discoveries then you can say that your teacher inspired you.

I can't believe that this is degenerating into an english lesson.



Nonsense. Many teach and preach the so called word, and guess what? They all contradict each other.




Nasty Evil Lie!!!

17‘- In the last days, God says, I will pour out My Spirit on all people; your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams. 18Even on My servants, both men and women, I will pour out My Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy.…Acts 2

In the last days people will be mightily inspired and they will prophecy and experience visions etc. This nasty lie about the bible being the end of prophecy and nothing more to be added is so perfidious and unscriptural in and of itself.

btw, there was no bible when Revelation was written, so that admonition to not add or remove from the text was in reference to the book of Revelation and Revelation only.




His own understanding. Thank you. I contrasted that with divine inspiration and found a man's understanding to separate from divine inspiration.

Then you ask the question as to whether or not it confirms inspired scripture. Well compare these:
1Cor 7
25Now concerningf the betrothed,g I have no command from the Lord , but I give my judgment as one who by the Lord’s mercy is trustworthy. 26I think that in view of the presenth distress it is good for a person to remain as he is. 27Are you bound to a wife? Do not seek to be free. Are you free from a wife? Do not seek a wife. 28But if you do marry, you have not sinned, and if a betrothed womani marries, she has not sinned. Yet those who marry will have worldly troubles, and I would spare you that. 29This is what I mean, brothers: the appointed time has grown very short. From now on, let those who have wives live as though they had none, 30and those who mourn as though they were not mourning, and those who rejoice as though they were not rejoicing, and those who buy as though they had no goods, 31and those who deal with the world as though they had no dealings with it. For the present form of this world is passing away.

32I want you to be free from anxieties. The unmarried man is anxious about the things of the Lord, how to please the Lord. 33But the married man is anxious about worldly things, how to please his wife, 34and his interests are divided. And the unmarried or betrothed woman is anxious about the things of the Lord, how to be holy in body and spirit. But the married woman is anxious about worldly things, how to please her husband. 35I say this for your own benefit, not to lay any restraint upon you, but to promote good order and to secure your undivided devotion to the Lord.

36If anyone thinks that he is not behaving properly toward his betrothed,j if hisk passions are strong, and it has to be, let him do as he wishes: let them marry—it is no sin. 37But whoever is firmly established in his heart, being under no necessity but having his desire under control, and has determined this in his heart, to keep her as his betrothed, he will do well. 38So then he who marries his betrothed does well, and he who refrains from marriage will do even better.

39A wife is bound to her husband as long as he lives. But if her husband dies, she is free to be married to whom she wishes, only in the Lord. 40Yet in my judgment she is happier if she remains as she is. And I think that I too have the Spirit of God.

Compared with this:

4Jesus answered, “Have you not read that from the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female’ 5and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’?


…27God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. 28God blessed them; and God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, Genesis 2

So the question is: If marriage was ordained by God, then by what authority does Paul advise his followers that it is best to abstain from marriage.






I agree. When you talk to me, not from DoctorAlien, it is YOU talking, not Doctor. Even if what you say tallies with what doctor would say that doesn't mean that you are talking on Doctor's behalf.

You keep carrying on about lines and precepts. Oya bring the lines naw! Bring the precepts! Let us compare them and reason on them.

DoctorAlien:


You know, Jesus advised us not cast our pearls to pigs. They'll trample on the pearls, and then turn and devour you.

akintom:

You know that religious folks are the most genetically modified zombies, of all the manipulative psychology victims that be in the world.

I certainly expect that folks, who have been terminally diseased with cancerous delusion, will behave as such.

My desire is to see religious folks, who have not crossed over the rehab border, helped into rational behavior.

I only need to answer one question here and retire as i have not rested all day since yesterday


www.dictionary.com/browse/inspired


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

4everGod:


Paul spoke from a position of focused service as a choice to anyone. Marriage is not a law and anyone can choose to get married or not to get married. There is no law sin in being single. If you wish to serve God without distraction assuming you have such a weakness then remain single so you can serve God with all you are but if you wish to get married then do so.

IT IS NO SIN TO BE SINGLE...Get that straight.

I do not need a long epistle to explain a simple thing such as this to you. We are all endowed with the ability to make choices and every man can to an extent tell his strenghts and his weaknesses so the issue of marriage which you see as a conflict is erroneous on your part.

PastorAIO:


Well done! You've actually found a dictionary to support your use of the word. Okay. Let's play along.

If you claim the bible is inspired then you are saying, according to this definition, that it is of 'extraordinary quality as if arising from some external creative impulse'.

It follows that this is not true of the entire bible because Paul states that his advise is Not of the Lord but his own idea.

Perhaps you found Paul's advise 'extraordinary'. No wahala. The fact still remains that it did not arise from 'some external' source. It came from Paul's own opinion.

17‘- In the last days, God says, I will pour out My Spirit on all people; your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams. 18Even on My servants, both men and women, I will pour out My Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy.…Acts 2

In the last days people will be mightily inspired and they will prophecy and experience visions etc. This nasty lie about the bible being the end of prophecy and nothing more to be added is so perfidious and unscriptural in and of itself.

btw, there was no bible when Revelation was written, so that admonition to not add or remove from the text was in reference to the book of Revelation and Revelation only.

PastorAIO:


I thought you were tired and needed to rest.

Anyway. I never said Marriage was a sin, but if you can vent your frustrations by whacking that strawman then more grease to your elbow.

Paul wasn't speaking about 'focused service'. Paul was talking about the eminent return of Christ and the fact that christians were going through so much tribulation and distress, and he felt that in such conditions, especially with Jesus returning soon, there was no point in burdening yourself with marriage.

DoctorAlien:
While many Jews erroneously held the belief that infirmities come only to sinners(or children of sinners), some still knew that such an idea was wrong.

DoctorAlien:
Only a lethal dose of ignorance mixed with a proportionate amount of dishonesty can make a human being argue that[b] the Jews held the belief[/b] that sin was the cause of infirmity, and that each time healing occurred, sins were forgiven.

The paralytic man brought to Jesus for healing had lived a very sinful life up till that moment. He engaged in a life of immorality. And so at the point where his friends brought him before Jesus, he was in need of both spiritual and physical healing. Seeing the sinful state of the man's heart, and the faith of his friends in what He could do, Jesus forgave the paralytic man his sins. He then healed his body.

James, speaking about sick people, said "if they have sinned..." The if there means that there is a possibility that they might not have sinned. Of course we know that righteous people fall sick too. James encouraged Christians to confess their faults to those they offended, and then enjoined the offended to forgive their fellow men, just as Christ directed.

GOD alone is the one who ultimately forgives and removes sin, as 1 Jn. 1:9 states.

Hell is a sign of God's LOVE for you , in fact he LOVES you so deeply that he is going to burn you forever if you do not LOVE him back.

God wants you to LOVE him perfectly because he LOVED you first , and if you spurn this LOVE or refuse to LOVE him back , you will be plunged into the bottomless abyss in an instant, burning with brimstone for all of eternity.

You see , your soul is so precious to God that he is determined to punish you for all eternity for losing it by a sinful and wicked lifestyle. Don't worry, when you are burning in eternal agony, embraced by the flames of his wrath and consumed by the worm that dies not, you can be comforted in knowing that it is all because God LOVES you :-)

Without HELL there cannot be God's LOVE because after all, how can God LOVE his creatures without the threat of eternal torture , this is the only way he can keep you in line with his LOVE and make you appreciate what he has done to save you from this terrible place.

God is LOVE, remember ? Oh yes, you cannot afford to forget for if you do , hell awaits you for eternity.

Hell is real and God is LOVE.
