Nope there was nothing like Christianity in those days.

DuchessLily:


At bolded - is it the woman who is to agree whether to give birth to a male child or not??

stinggy:

Ok that's the angle you're coming from...

So why do Christians still follow some things practised before Christianity came into fruition and practised by the so-called non-christains?

andromida:


Like what practices do you have in mind so i'll know the angle you are coming from.

stinggy:

Tithing to start with.

andromida:


Lol.

Tithing is not compulsory we are encouraged to subscribe it.

stinggy:

Why not totally expunge it since its root isn't in Christianity?
Yet the campaign against polygamy is different

andromida:


Christ changed the game for Christians he was very explicit as to what is the standard no grey areas here. No slip ins for side chics or second wife . Sowwie

He said that at a time when both gender has almost same population, which obviously isn't the case again.

funny enough the guy doesn't know much about reproduction, he doesn't know that its the man that determines whether the child will be a boy or not..... its the MAN for crying out loud

thorpido:
Yea,the I AM that I AM but He sent Jesus for a purpose that you don't have an epignosis of.Even if you don't understand it,why does your bible have an old and a new testament?It's obvious you don't even know why.

thorpido:
The purpose of Christ is to redeem man and give him eternal life so he can have the righteousness of God.
A man who has the righteousness of God does not have to keep Mosaic laws.He is no longer under the law.

Truckpusher:
But the same Jesus said that he didn't come to abolish the law of Moses or the writings of the Prophets but to fulfill them - Mathew chapter 5:17.

hoobs:
hehehehe,you know nothing about Christianity!!!!,was it christ or God dat divided the bible into old and new....all these were man made!!!!.......normally there is nothing like old and new,because Jehova is not old neither is he new,so his mod of worshiping him doesn't change......I repeat Exdous 20 should be your foundation.....then you go down to numbers,levitcus nd deutronomy.

thorpido:
Yes He came to fulfil the law.Do you understand the fulfilment part?
The bible says the law is not made for the righteous but the sinner.It's the sinner who has to try to keep the law(not that he can keep it perfectly however).Jesus came to fulfil the law by offering Himself as a sacrifice that man can receive the righteousness of God.
When you have the righteousness of God,you have His nature.What law are you trying to obey when you have His nature?

Truckpusher:
You must be running with some doctrine being pioneered by some churches to soothe their belief system.
In Mathew 22:37-40 when Jesus was asked about the greatest laws what was the significance of his reply ?

thorpido:
The problem with you guys is that you don't see beyond the literal expressions of Jesus' words.

I'll be back to expound on this.

Truckpusher:
When you come back I want a concrete well explained answer and not some cooked up doctrine - By the way you're the one sounding vague with your interpretations here even when I showed you a quotation where Jesus himself specifically said something that is plain and simple even to the dumb yet you managed to twist it to soothe your belief system.
I'm waiting for your answer on the above mentioned subject you quoted.

thorpido:
I will try to summarise this but make it concise.

When God created Adam and Eve,they were without sin and no law was given to them because they were righteous.Righteous men don't need the law.
They however sinned and took on the nature of sin when they obeyed the devil.Men through their lineage carried on that sin nature.Laws and rules came because men could no longer live a life that met God's standard.When Moses came,he made those laws he received from God concise so as to have an order.Those laws were given to Jews(they were not Christians ).

When Jesus came,He came to deliver to mankind redemption and the ability to receive and carry the righteousness of God which was lost with Adam.He came to give man a new nature.That was why He said,'Except a man be born again,he cannot see the kingdom of God(John 3:3).
He said He came to fulfil the law which was part of His sacrificial giving.However,there's something better than obeying or keeping the law(which no man can ever keep perfectly - take note of that).It's receiving the nature and righteousness of God which He came to give the world(John 3:16).

In that same book of Matt 5 that you have been quoting,He said in vs 20;
'For I say to you,that except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and pharisees,ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven'.
These were people who kept the law and were obeying it,yet Jesus said the righteousness of the people must be more than that letting you know the law was not perfect and no man could fulfil it.Only Jesus did!
As Christians,we have received eternal life(for as many that have) and have the nature and righteousness of God.We have something better than trying to obey laws which no man with the unregenerated nature can obey perfectly.It's not that the laws are useless but now we have a nature that pleases God without trying to score points by obeying laws.
Jesus brought a new order.There was a transition.

Truckpusher:
Quite impressive for a man that used up almost four paragraphs just to justify a teaching that doesn't make sense.
So, pray tell , what is this particular thing that has made the laws of God so irrelevant according to your load of crap that was churned out with the target of soothing some unbelievers who have adopted a way life and an attitude to do whatever they like while believing that as long as it is their heart desire in conformity with their belief system then God is at peace with.
The bible is straightforward and God doesn't change.

ssweetorgasm:
for example if your wife goes barren or refuses to give u a male

AABeauty:
Someone may have already asked this but how does a wife refuse to give you a male child?
