So how do we stop the wars and killings in the future?

Start small small please Max, for we are but mere human beings and should start with:

How do MaxInDHouse and budaatum stop warring and killing one another in the future?

Because warring and killing one another is exactly what we do to one another on here in thread after thread where we fail to love one another just because we do not worship under the same roof.

And the [url=https://classic.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke+6%3A27-36&version=KJV]answer is here[/url], Max, as written to have been taught to us by Christ.

Disagreement differs from picking up weapons to exterminate opposition. One may be opposed to another's opinion but picking up weapons to resolve disagreement is what we are saying here.
Well i belong to a global family of peace loving worshipers where members have vowed never to raise weapons against anyone no matter what happens.
What about you?

MaxInDHouse:
Disagreement differs from picking up weapons to exterminate opposition. One may be opposed to another's opinion but picking up weapons to resolve disagreement is what we are saying here.

Here, our words are weapons that we raise very easily against one another and which can be equally if not more deadly than guns and cutlasses.

MaxInDHouse:

What about you?

I belong to communities of human beings, all of whom I try as hard as possible to be peaceful with.

Nairaland is one such community that I belong to, which has diverse people in it like Max the JW, my Lordreed the atheist, various Muslims, some Satanist, and believers and unbelievers alike with whom I try really hard to be peaceful with every day.

Have you ever had a disagreement with either your dad or mom on opinion?
Does that equate you to a Boko Haram member who will pick up weapons to kill without even saying anything to you?

How much do you know of those on faceless social media?
How many of them can you vouch for that they won't join in killing their neighbours due to racism and politics?
Well i am telling you now that once a person becomes one of baptized JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES, he/she may get angry and become wrathful out of disagreement but will never ever raise up weapons against anyone! Ephesians 4:26

MaxInDHouse:

I am currently in disagreement with my mother and it is like we are boko haram, except that we are both far more intelligent to go that far, but if we were not intelligent, we likely would.

But for your information there is no "boko haram member who will pick up weapons to kill without even saying anything to you" in my community. There are mad people who might though, and when I see them coming I simply cross to the other side of the road because Christ has taught me to be wiser than the people of this world.

Max, I live by my faith in my fellow human beings that the majority are not mad people who will just join in killing me for whatever reason. And the few that may happen to be mad and who might want to "raise up weapons and kill" for whatever reason, I am protected from by my faith in God and my trust in the teaching that Christ has given me to protect myself.

See it below as promised to me, and which I have tested and found to be true, because even you know that it is even difficult for many here to utter foul words against buda not to talk of raise up weapons against buda!

I don't know what you mean by intelligent but i'm sure that residents in villages where Boko Haram comes in the night to kill their people can explain better if truly those hoodlums do talk before touching their House with fire and killing those who ran out for safety!

Exactly what i'm saying, you view some as "mad" due to disagreement and they also view you the same way and due to law and order each have maintained his/her resolve but when laws fails to protect you during racism and politics then you'll know who is who!

I do not live in the community you are describing, Max, and neither do you, I bet.

MaxInDHouse:

Exactly what i'm saying, you view some as "mad" due to disagreement....

This is not true Max. You do not agree with me but I'm sure you will agree that if I thought you were mad I too will have to be mad just for trying to discuss with a mad person.

I do not view people who disagree with me as mad. It is people who "raise up weapons and kill for whatever reason" that I said may be mad. Please note the difference instead of arguing with yourself.

People that raise up weapons do so for just one reason: DISAGREEMENTS
So when you view a Boko Haram as "Mad" he/she also view you as "Mad" the only chance you have to continue breathing in his/her presence is the laws that forbids him from killing those he view as "Mad"

MaxInDHouse:

TERRORISTS don't negotiate with their victims so i know exactly what i'm saying!

I am not terrorised and nor am I a victim, so this is irrelevant to me.

You're not getting it, disagreement leads to separation in case having to do intelligent humans but war in the case having to do with unintelligent creatures.
So if you and i disagree it's normal all we have to do as intelligent beings is separate and go opposite direction!

Disagreement does not necessarily lead to separation, Max, you know that husbands and wives disagree, parents and their children disagree but neither leads to separation, and even if you and I disagree in this thread we will still remain a part of this one single community called Nairaland.

What is unintelligent and that may cause war is when one goes about labelling mad those one disagrees with because by labelling them mad you have decided already that you have no intention of resolving your difference with them and have resorted to insulting them instead which is a thing Christ taught one not to even consider doing!

LordReed:


Thankfully no or else I won't have been able to see or respond to your post. LoL.

Meanwhile Jesus said to gouge out your eye if it causes you to sin and cut off limbs for same reason, to clarify this will be part of living in this Christ teaching ruled world, yes?

Let me know if you think this person will not be better off if he took the advice of Christ and cut of the parts of his mind that cause him to suffer so.

If we disagree you hold onto your opinion and i hold onto mine, that doesn't mean we are enemies!

I'm glad to see that we finally agree on the above, for not only must students of Christ not be nor have enemies, but they must go much further and even love those who disagree with them, as is taught here, which are some of the fruits by which it is determined who follows Christ and who just says "Lord Lord" with their mouths but do not that which they ought to do.

Don't get me wrong, you and i aren't of the same Lord!

It would seem not Max, because those who have learnt from the Lord Jesus Christ would not commit the basic error of "that person is not one of us.”

Are you ready to abide by the same rules?
If Yes then you're welcome but if No then "you are not one of us" the person in question was willing to abide by the same rules as the Apostles but simply because he's not going about with Jesus physically they thought he doesn't have the right to be called one of them.
Your own case differs, you're not ready to abide by the same rules so you are not one of JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES! Luke 11:23

SHALOM!

budaatum:
I so wished frosbel2's thread was asking what the world would be like if the teachings of Christ, which I'm reducing to "Love your God with all your soul and all your heart and mind", and "Love your neighbours", were used to rule the world so decided to start one.

LAZY FOOLS, WHO DO NOT BOTHER TO DO THEIR RESEARCH, WONDER WHY KING JAMES SHOULD COMMISSION A BIBLE, AND NEVER LEARN THAT THE MONARCHS OF GREAT BRITAIN ARE THE HEADS OF THE ANGLICAN CHURCH, SINCE KING HENRY VIII IN 1534.

It is very important to understand that the Head of the ROMAN CATHOLIC Church is a KING OF KINGS, and not a mere " SUNDAY-SCHOOL TEACHER," which is what non-Christians, and foolish Protestants think him to be.

It should therefore take on added significance that Pope NICHOLAS V legalized SLAVERY in his 1452 DUM DIVERSAS PAPAL BULLSHIT.

In 1562, Captain JOHN HAWKINS hijacked 301 Slaves from the Portuguese Roman Catholics, effectively escalating the State of War between the Protestant British and the European Roman Catholics.

Hitherto, the English never did such a thing, and Queen ELIZABETH I demanded that he give account for his actions- which affected the whole nation.

This should have been the time for the English to shine.

"THERE IS NOTHING IN THE WORLD, THAT IS SO GOOD, OR SO EVIL, THAT YOU WILL NOT FIND AN ENGLISHMAN DOING IT- BUT YOU WILL NEVER FIND AN ENGLISHMAN IN THE WRONG- HE WILL ALWAYS BE ACTING ON PRINCIPLE! - George Bernard Shaw.

Oyinbos in general, and the English in particular, will always have their "reasons" which justify whatever Satanic wickedness they may commit.

Therefore, Queen ELIZABETH I legalized TransAtlantic Slavery in 1563, and leased the Hell Ship THE JESUS OF LÜBECK to John Hawkins, for the purpose of Slavery, being promised huge profits by him.

According to Historian MacNeil Dixon, John Hawkins kidnapped 75,000 Slaves from West Africa with this ship.

That is a logistical impossibility, since the maximum load of this 700-ton Carrack was 400 Slaves, and it was used on two trips only, before being sunk in battle with the Spaniards in 1569. John Hawkins and his cousin, Francis Drake, were obliged to swim for their dear lives.

He quit Slavery, complaining that it was not as profitable as he had imagined- when he had to gather the Slaves himself- and went into Espionage, becoming a veritable prototype model for "Commander JAMES BOND," used by IAN FLEMING.

[See: THE PETER PLAN, by Dr. Lawrence Peter.
A TRUE DECLARATION OF THE TROUBLESOME VOYADGE OF M. JOHN HAUKINS TO THE PARTIES OF GUYNEA AND THE WEST INDIES, IN THE YEARES OF OUR LORD 1567 AND 1568. (London: Thomas Purfoote, 1569).]

THEREFORE, BY THE TIME THE KING JAMES VERSION TRANSLATORS PUBLISHED THEIR BIBLE, THEIR CHURCH HAD BEEN PRACTICING SLAVERY FOR 48 YEARS.

This was considered by them a ”normal" Fact-of-Life.

This wicked attitude had to affect the way in which they translated The Bible.

One of the ugliest aspects of modern Christianity is the ARMED ROBBER, who gives a MEALY-MOUTHED "Repentance," and becomes a PREACHER. This is impressive to those "Christians" who do not believe in THE LAW OF MOSES, nor Lord Yeshua REAL GOSPEL.

. EXODUS 22:1-6.

"IF a man shall steal an ox,
or a sheep,
and kill it,
or sell it;
he shall restore five oxen
for an ox,
and four sheep
for a sheep.
2. "If a thief be found
breaking up,
and be smitten that he die,
there shall no blood
be shed for him.
3. "If the Sun
be risen upon him,
there shall be blood
shed for him;
for he should make
Full Restitution;
if he have nothing,
then he shall be sold
for his theft.
4. "If the theft
be certainly found
in his hand alive,
whether it be
ox, or ass, or sheep;
he shall restore double.
5. "If a man shall cause
a field or vineyard
to be eaten,
and shall put in his beast,
and shall feed
in another man's field;
of the best of his own field,
and of the best
of his own vineyard,
shall he make Restitution.
6. "If fire break out,
and catch in thorns,
so that the stacks of corn,
or the standing corn,
or the field,
be consumed therewith;
he that kindled the fire
shall surely make Restitution."


. MARK 2:15-17.

15. And it came to pass,
that, as Jesus sat at meat
in his house,
many Publicans and Sinners
sat also together with Jesus
and his Disciples:
for there were many,
and they followed him.
16. And when
the scribes and Pharisees
saw him eat
with Publicans and Sinners,
they said unto his Disciples,

"How is it that he
eateth and drinketh
with Publicans and Sinners?"

17. When Jesus heard it,
he Saith unto them,

"They that are whole
have no need of the Physician,
but they that are Sick:
I came not to call The Righteous,
but Sinners to Repentance."

. LUKE 19:1-10.

AND Jesus entered
and passed through Jericho.
2. And, behold,
there was a man named Zacchaeus,
which was the chief
among the publicans,
and he was rich.
3. And he sought to see Jesus
who he was;
and could not for the press,
because he was little of stature.
4. And he ran before,
and climbed up into
a sycomore tree to see him:
for he was to pass that way.
5. And when Jesus came to the place,
he looked up,
and saw him,
and said unto him,

"Zacchaeus, make haste,
and come down;
for to day I must abide
at thy house."

6. And he made haste,
and came down,
and received him joyfully.
7. And when they saw it,
they all murmured,
saying,

"THAT HE WAS GONE
TO BE GUEST
WITH A MAN
THAT IS A SINNER."

8. And Zacchaeus stood,
and said unto the Lord;

"Behold, Lord,
the half of my goods
I give to the Poor;
and if I have taken any thing
from any man by False Accusation,
I restore him fourfold."

9. And Jesus Said unto him,

"This day is Salvation
come to this house,
forsomuch as he also
is a Son of Abraham.
10. "For The Son of Man
is come to Seek and to Save
that which was Lost."

. 1^st TIMOTHY 1:15.

12. And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord,
who hath enabled me,
for that he counted me Faithful,
putting me into The Ministry;
13. Who was before a Blasphemer,
and a Persecutor, and Injurious:
but I obtained mercy,
because I did it ignorantly
in unbelief.
14. And The Grace of our Lord
was exceeding abundant
with Faith and Love
which is in Christ Jesus.
15. This is a Faithful Saying,
and worthy of all acceptation,

"THAT CHRIST JESUS
CAME INTO THE WORLD
TO SAVE SINNERS;
OF WHOM I AM CHIEF."

16. Howbeit for this Cause
I obtained Mercy,
that in me first Jesus Christ
might shew forth all longsuffering,
for a pattern to them
which should hereafter
Believe on him
to Life Everlasting.

PAUL WAS LYING WHEN HE SAID THAT HE PERSECUTED THE CHURCH IN IGNORANCE: HE DID IT FROM COVETOUSNESS- [/i]WHICH HE BLASPHEMOUSLY SAID HE LEARNED TO DO FROM THE LAW OF GOD BY MOSES!

.     EXODUS 20:1-7.

AND God Spake
all these Words,
Saying,

2. "I (am) The LORD thy God,
Which have brought thee
out of The Land of Egypt,
out of The House of Bondage.

3. "Thou shalt have
no other gods before Me.

4. "Thou shalt not
make unto thee
any graven image,
or any likeness (of any thing)
that (is) in the Earth beneath,
or that (is) in the Water
under the Earth:
5. "Thou shalt not
bow down thyself to them,
nor serve them:
for I The LORD thy God
(am) a Jealous God,
visiting the iniquity
of the fathers
upon the third and fourth (generation)
of them that Hate Me.
6. "And shewing Mercy
unto thousands of them
which Love Me,
and Keep My Commandments.

7. "Thou shalt not
take The Name
of The LORD thy God
in vain;
for The LORD will not
hold him guiltless
that taketh His Name
in vain."

GOD HOLDS EVERY HUMAN ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE INIQUITIES COMMITTED BY THEIR PARENTS, THEIR GRANDPARENTS, AND THEIR GREAT-GRANDPARENTS.

. NUMBERS 15:27-31.

27. "And if any man Sin
through Ignorance,
then he shall bring
a She Goat of the first year
for a Sin Offering.
28. "And the Priest
shall make an Atonement
for the Soul
that Sinneth Ignorantly,
when he Sinneth
by Ignorance
before The LORD,
to make an Atonement
for him,
and it shall be
forgiven him.
29. " Ye shall have one Law
for him that Sinneth Ignorantly
(both for) him
that is born
among the Children of Israel,
and for the Stranger
that sojourneth
among them.
30. "But the Soul
that doeth
(ought) presumptuously,
(whether he be)
born in the land,
or a Stranger,
the same reproacheth
The LORD;
and that Soul
shall be cut off
from among his people.
31. "Because he hath
despised The Word
of The LORD,
and hath broken
His Commandment,
that Soul
shall utterly be cut off;
his Iniquity
(shall be) upon him."

SAUL WOULD HAVE GOTTEN 30 PIECES OF SILVER FOR EVERY CHRISTIAN HE BROUGHT IN: [i]THAT WAS HIS MOTIVE.

. ROMANS 7:7-25.

7. What shall we say then?
Is the Law Sin?
God forbid.
Nay, I had not known Sin,
but by The Law:
for I had not known lust,
except The Law had said,

"THOU SHALT NOT COVET."

8. But Sin,
taking occasion
by the Commandment,
wrought in me
all manner of concupiscence.
For without The Law
Sin was dead.
9. For I was alive
without The Law once:
but when
The Commandment came,
Sin revived,
and I died.
10. And The Commandment,
which was ordained to life,
I found to be unto Death.
11. For Sin,
taking occasion
by the Commandment,
deceived me,
and by It slew me.
12. Wherefore The Law is holy,
and the Commandment holy,
and just,
and good.
13. Was then that
which is Good
made Death unto me?
God forbid.
But Sin,
that it might appear Sin,
working Death in me
by that which is Good;
that Sin by the Commandment
might become
exceeding Sinful.
14. For we know that
The Law is Spiritual:
but I am Carnal,
sold under Sin.
15. For that which I do
I allow not:
for what I would,
that do I not;
but what I hate,
that do I.
16. If then I do that
which I would not,
I consent unto The Law
that it is Good.
17. Now then it is no more
I that do it,
but Sin that dwelleth in me.
18. For I know that in me
[that is, in my Flesh,]
dwelleth no Good Thing:
for to Will is present with me;
but how to perform
that which is Good I find not.
19. For the Good
that I would I do not:
but the Evil
which I would not,
that I do.
20. Now if I do
that I would not,
it is no more I that do it,
but Sin that dwelleth in me.
21. I find then a Law, that,
when I would do Good,
Evil is present with me.
22. For I delight in the Law
of God after the inward man:
23. But I see another Law
in my members,
warring against
the Law of my Mind,
and bringing me
into captivity to the Law of Sin
which is in my members.
24. O wretched man that I am!
Who shall deliver me
from the body of this Death?
25. I thank God
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
So then with the Mind
I myself serve
The Law of God;
but with the Flesh
The Law of Sin.

. MATTHEW 11:11-13.

AND he said also
unto his Disciples,
"There was a certain rich man,
which had a steward;
and the same
was accused unto him
that he had wasted
his goods.
2. "And he called him,
and said unto him,

[b]'HOW IS IT
THAT I HEAR THIS
OF THEE?
GIVE AN ACCOUNT
OF THY STEWARDSHIP;
FOR THOU MAYEST BE
NO LONGER STEWARD.'

3. "Then the steward said
within himself,

'WHAT SHALL I DO?
FOR MY LORD
TAKETH AWAY FROM ME
THE STEWARDSHIP:
I CANNOT DIG;
TO BEG
I AM ASHAMED.
4. 'I AM RESOLVED
WHAT TO DO,
THAT, WHEN I AM
PUT OUT OF
THE STEWARDSHIP,
THEY MAY RECEIVE ME
INTO THEIR HOUSES.'

5. "So he called every one
of his lord's debtors
unto him,
and said unto the first,

'HOW MUCH OWEST THOU
UNTO MY LORD?'

6. "And he said,

'AN HUNDRED MEASURES
OF OIL.'

And he said unto him,

'TAKE THY BILL,
AND SIT DOWN QUICKLY,
AND WRITE FIFTY.'

7. "Then said he to another,

'AND HOW MUCH OWEST THOU?'

And he said,

'AN HUNDRED MEASURES
OF WHEAT.'

And he said unto him,

'TAKE THY BILL,
AND WRITE FOURSCORE.'

8. "And the lord commended
the Unjust Steward,
because he had done wisely:
for the Children of this World
are in their Generation
wiser than
the Children of Light.
9. "And I Say unto you,

'MAKE TO YOURSELVES
FRIENDS OF THE MAMMON
OF UNRIGHTEOUSNESS;
THAT, WHEN YE FAIL,
THEY MAY RECEIVE YOU INTO
EVERLASTING HABITATIONS.'

10. "He that is faithful
in that which is least
is faithful also in much:
and he that is unjust
in the least
is unjust also in much.
11. "If therefore ye
have not been faithful
in the Unrighteous Mammon,
who will commit to your trust
The True Riches?
12. "And if ye have not
been faithful in that
which is another man's,
who shall give you
that which is your own?
13. "No servant can serve
two masters:
for either he will
hate the one,
and love the other;
or else he will
hold to the one,
and despise the other.
Ye cannot serve God
and mammon."

14. And the Pharisees also,
who were covetous,
heard all these things:
and they derided him.
15. And he Said unto them,

"Ye are they

THAT IS WISDOM;
AND TO DEPART FROM EVIL,
IS UNDERSTANDING.' "

. PSALM 111:10.

10. The Fear of The LORD
is The Beginning of Wisdom:
a Good Understanding
have all they
that do His Commandments:
His Praise endureth for ever.

. PSALM 119:11.

11. Thy Word have I hid
in mine heart,
that I might not Sin
against Thee.

. PSALM 119:97-105.

97. O how I love Thy Law!
It is my meditation all the day.
98. Thou through Thy Commandments
hast made me Wiser
than mine enemies:
for They are ever with me.
99 I have more Understanding
than all my teachers:
for Thy Testimonies
are my meditation.
100. I understand
more than the Ancients,
because I keep Thy Precepts.
101. I have refrained my feet
from every Evil Way,
that I might keep Thy Word.
102. I have not departed
from Thy Judgments:
for Thou hast taught me.
103. How sweet are Thy Words
unto my taste!
yea, sweeter than honey
to my mouth!
104. Through Thy Precepts
I get Understanding:
therefore I hate
every False Way.
105. Thy Word is a Lamp
unto my feet,
and a Light unto my path.

. DANIEL 12:10.

10. Many shall be purified,
and made white,
and tried:
but the Wicked
shall do wickedly:
and none of the Wicked
shall Understand;
but the Wise
shall Understand.

. REVELATION 22:11-12.

11. "He that is UNJUST,
let him be Unjust still:
and he which is FILTHY,
let him be Filthy still:
and he that is RIGHTEOUS,
let him be Righteous still:
and he that is HOLY,
let him be Holy still.
12. "And, behold,
I come quickly;
and my Reward is with me,
to give every man According
as his Work shall be."

People in general, and Christians to n particular have literally gone INSANE, trying to interpret the eleven types of "love" in the New Testament as "ROMANTIC LOVE." Which is never used in The New Testament.

Therefore, it is thought that a Christian should be some sort of all-tolerant, meek and submissive weakling, who will never fight back, and never lash out, judge, condemn, nor abuse Sinners, who Romantically-Loves everybody, like a besotted idiot of some kind.

Are you ready to abide by the same rules?
If Yes then you're welcome but if No then "you are not one of us" the person in question was willing to abide by the same rules as the Apostles but simply because he's not going about with Jesus physically they thought he doesn't have the right to be called one of them.
Your own case differs, you're not ready to abide by the same rules so you are not one of JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES! Luke 11:23

to keep all His Statutes
and His Commandments,
Which I Command thee,
thou, and thy son,
and thy son's son,
all the days of thy life;
and that thy days
may be prolonged.
3. Hear therefore,
O Israel,
and observe to do (It);
that it may be well with thee,
and that ye may
increase mightily,
as the LORD God of thy fathers
hath promised thee,
in the land that floweth

when thou sittest
in thine house,

It appears to me that this error arises amongst Christians and atheists alike from the desire to look into the soul and heart and mind of others and be the determinant of whether they obey the first Jesus command of "Love your God", which in reality ought to be between oneself and one's maker, or oneself if one were unmade.

WHAT PEOPLE LIKE YOURSELF THINK "LOVE" MEANS IS ACTUALLY "INDULGENCE."

WHOSOEVER believeth that

"JESUS IS THE CHRIST"

is Born of God:
and every one that loveth
Him that Begat
loveth him also
that is Begotten of Him.
2. By this we know
that we love
The Children of God,

"WHEN WE LOVE GOD,
AND KEEP
HIS COMMANDMENTS."

3. For this is
The Love of God,

"THAT WE KEEP
HIS COMMANDMENTS:"

and His Commandments
are not grievous.
4. For whatsoever is
Born of God
Overcometh the World:
and this is The Victory
that Overcometh the World,

"(EVEN) OUR FAITH."

5. Who is he that Overcometh the World,
but he that believeth
that Jesus is
The Son of God?

. JOHN 14:15-28.

15. "If ye love me,
keep my Commandments.
16. And I will pray The Father,
and He shall give you
another Comforter,
that He may abide with you
for ever;
17. "Even The Spirit of Truth;
Whom the World cannot receive,
because it seeth him not,
neither knoweth Him:
but ye know Him;
for He dwelleth with you,
and shall be in you.
18. "I will not
leave you Comfortless:
I will come to you.
19. "Yet a little while,
and the World
seeth me no more;
but ye see me:
because I live,
ye shall live also.
20. At that day ye shall know
that I am in my Father,
and ye in me, and I in you.
21. "He that hath
my Commandments,
and keepeth them,
he it is that loveth me:
and he that loveth me
shall be loved of my Father,
and I will love him,
and will manifest
myself to him."

22. Judas saith unto him,
not Iscariot,

"Lord, how is it that
thou wilt manifest thyself
unto us,
and not unto the World?"

23. Jesus Answered
and Said unto him,

"If a man love me,
He will keep my Words:
and my Father will love him,
and we will come unto him,
and make our abode with him.
24. "He that loveth me not
keepeth not my Sayings:
and the Word which ye hear
is not mine,
but The Father's
Which sent me.
25. “These things
have I Spoken unto you,
being (yet) present with you.
26. "But The Comforter,
(Which is) The Holy Ghost,
Whom The Father
will send in My Name,
He shall Teach you All Things
and bring all things
to your Remembrance,
whatsoever I have
Said unto you.
27 “Peace I leave with you;
My Peace I give unto you,
not as the World giveth,
give I unto you.
Let not your heart be troubled,
neither let it be afraid.
28. "Ye have heard
how I Said unto you,

'I GO AWAY,
AND COME AGAIN
UNTO YOU.'

If ye loved me,
ye would rejoice,
because I Said,

'I GO UNTO THE FATHER:'

for my Father
is greater than I."

IN TRUE CHRISTIAN CONTEXT "LOVE" MEANS "THE KEEPING OF GOD'S COMMANDMENTS.

In response to the topic itself,
The truth is that Christ teachings are already being used to rule the, Christ is the pillar of this world. The scriptures says in Isaiah 33:22 "For the LORD is our judge, the Lord is our lawgiver, the LORD is our king: he will save us.

For the LORD is our judge (thats the judiciary), the Lord is our lawgiver (thats the legislature), the LORD is our king: he will save us (that's the executive). This is the model of any democracy and it is taken straight out of the Bible, there is a reason why the United States of America is called God's own country.

ISAIAH IS NOT RELIABLE: HE WAS A FAILED PROPHET- [/i]UNABLE TO PREVENT HIS OWN PEOPLE FROM GOING INTO CAPTIVITY.

What is the use of [i]WISHFUL THINKING that "GOD IS IN CONTROL" of SINNERS?

How can YOUR God be "RULER" over people who are KILLING and ENSLAVING your own people?

That is useless Religion!

Kobojunkie:


The teachings of Jesus Christ cant be used to rule this world because they are not designed for or meant to be used in such a way, and this Jesus Christ made clear to all His followers.

Jesus Christ's teachings go beyond the two greatest commandments. Picking and choosing only those teachings that appeal to you, throwing out there rest, has been attempted by many rulers throughout history and all attempts have ended up in failures.

I DISAGREE THAT DEUTERONOMY 6:4-5 AND LEVITICUS 19:18 ARE THE TWO GREATEST COMMANDMENTS: DEUTERONOMY 30:19-20 IS GREATER THAN THOSE COMMANDMENTS- BECAUSE WITHOUT THAT COMMANDMENT FOR MOTIVATION, THOSE COMMANDMENTS BECOME UNSUSTAINABLE.

Rule by Lord Yeshua's Gospel will eliminate Sin completely.

Any Sin will permit the Devils to prey upon fresh victims.

ALL CHURCHES PREACHING LOVE" INVARIABLY MEAN ROMANTIC LOVE- BUT PRIMARILY FOR EACH OTHER.

When they try to apply this type of love to totally unloveable enemies, they either suffer Nervous Breakdowns, or lapse into Heartfelt Hatred, defying Lord Yeshua- which is also Insanity.

Everyone wants Christians to apologetically beg them servilely to please accept their Doctrine, and join their Church.

IN TRUE CHRISTIAN CONTEXT "LOVE" MEANS "THE KEEPING OF GOD'S COMMANDMENTS.

I would argue that it means doing God's Will, which does include loving one's neighbours who might not believe as one does, and one's enemies also, who most likely definitely do not believe as one does, but you'd argue of course, since that's not your belief nor your own understanding.

oaroloye:
'ALL MANNER
OF SIN AND BLASPHEMY
SHALL BE FORGIVEN
UNTO MEN:
BUT THE BLASPHEMY
AGAINST THE HOLY GHOST
SHALL NOT BE FORGIVEN
UNTO MEN.'

How selective of you to live by the bread alone and ignore the rest of what is written, like one who does not understand that bread alone malnourishes!

For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. James 2:10

oaroloye:
37. "For by thy words
thou shalt be justified,
and by thy words
thou shalt be condemned."

How selective again. And see you doing God's work of justifying and condemning as if you sit at God's right hand!

“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Therefore by their fruits you will know them. Matthew 7:15-20

oaroloye:
IF YOU KNOW ANY TRUTH THAT SOMEONE NEEDS, IT IS YOUR DUTY TO SHARE IT.

That is what we all believe we are doing here, sharing what we think is the truth. Humility would however make us realise that our own version of truth may not be as true as we think it is unless we are arrogant fuqs of course who alone have the "truth".

oaroloye:

It is highly indicative of the depth of your unworthiness, that you should think that you know "Truth," but would withhold It.

The above is indicative of god oaroloye, the judge and condemner of buda!

oaroloye:
ISAIAH IS NOT RELIABLE: HE WAS A FAILED PROPHET- [/i]UNABLE TO PREVENT HIS OWN PEOPLE FROM GOING INTO CAPTIVITY.

Oh, really, [i]god oaroloye, the judge and condemner of isaiah too? I noticed you ridiculed Paul also, but seem to rate the Gospels he influenced to be written.

I guess I am delighted at the company of the condemned that you put me into. Thanks. But one must wonder why you lack the uniform belief in Isaiah and Paul that you seem to believe everyone else ought to have, or is it rather a belief in the truth of oaroloye that you mean we all should uniformly have?

oaroloye:

I DISAGREE THAT DEUTERONOMY 6:4-5 AND LEVITICUS 19:18 ARE THE TWO GREATEST COMMANDMENTS: DEUTERONOMY 30:19-20 IS GREATER THAN THOSE COMMANDMENTS- BECAUSE WITHOUT THAT COMMANDMENT FOR MOTIVATION, THOSE COMMANDMENTS BECOME UNSUSTAINABLE.

And since I am not promoting any sort of uniform belief you are very free to use your own mind to disagree with even Christ now who said there is no greater commandment than these.

Master, which is the great commandment in the law?

Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment.

And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. Matthew 22:36-40

Just don't expect me to join you in your uniform belief in your own so called truth!

oaroloye:
Rule by Lord Yeshua's Gospel will eliminate Sin completely.

But excluding the above which you just excluded, right?

You are going to forgive me for stopping right here because it is very obvious that you just tie yourself in knots with your plenty words and fail to realise that When words are many, transgression is not lacking, but whoever restrains his lips is prudent . Proverbs 10:19 ESV
