Who asked you to follow Jesus?

God only gave you laws to follow to have a meaning ful life. End of the day we are all spiritual beings having a human experience, when we die we go back being spirits.. Default settings.. And become part of God..

He's surely a teacher of his own personal school of thought, the only problem he's having is failure to present his students so right thinking persons can observe his teachings in their activities! cheesy

It is in born..and experience too. I don't need to read it in a book, before I know I have to honour and respect my parents and elders..Before the white man came with their bible that says "honour your father and mother " we used to kneel down to greet our parents every morning and always go any erand for them and don't talk when they are talking...the Yoruba's used to postrate...so it is part of our OS that God installed in us when he created us.

You are contradicting yourself. If it is inborn, then why did your Jewish God give the laws then? In New testament christianity, Paul also says it is inborn. So you agree with paul here, but in another breath you say that God had to give laws that must be obeyed.

The bolded comes to mind when what you're doing presently is not benefitial Sir, so the only way to convince someone who is already getting the benefits of what he is doing is by presenting a better performing group much more benefitial than the one he is. I think that makes sense Sir! cheesy

It was written down for people like you(no offence) who can't tell right from wrong. For those of us who are fully conscious it comes to us naturally .it is part of our nature...see what Jeremiah wrote in chapter 31:

Jer 31:31-37 in Christian versions
Jer 31:30 "Behold, the days come, saith YHWH, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah;
31 not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; forasmuch as they broke My covenant, although I was a master over them, saith YHWH.
32 But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith YHWH, I will put My Torah in their inward parts, and in their heart will I write it; and I will be their Elohim, and they shall be My people;
33 and they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying: 'Know YHWH'; for they shall all know Me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith YHWH; for I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin will I remember no more.
34 Thus saith YHWH, Who giveth the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, who stirreth up the sea, that the waves thereof roar, YHWH of hosts is His name:
35 If these ordinances depart from before Me, saith YHWH, then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before Me for ever.
36 Thus saith YHWH: If heaven above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, then will I also cast off all the seed of Israel for all that they have done, saith YHWH.

No One Will Teach Another to Know the Most High, everyone will know Him.

This is exactly what the new testament teaches, so I don't think Christians have a problem with this arguement. It is you who keep speaking about God giving laws and stuff like that.
That passage of Jeremiah was quoted by Jesus in John 6, and also by paul in the epistles.
That is what is meant by new covenant ( new testament). It was derived from that passage.

You don't understand it do you ? It says nobody will teach anybody..not jesus not Paul , he will write it in your heart..so it comes to you naturally..nobody will teach you not to sleep with another mans wife, you will know it is wrong and avoid it,no matter how enticing it is...

Got it now, neither jesus nor Paul is needed...

So who is the WONDERFUL COUNSELOR Isaiah was talking about {Isaiah 9:6} and why the counseling?

Moreover when did the new covenant became effective so that you don't need to be taught, if Jesus is removed from the scene? cheesy

Do you really want to know or you are just asking random question.?
I don't want to waste my time .

Isaiah 1:1 says "1The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning [/b]Judah and Jerusalem, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, [and] Hezekiah, kings of Judah."

So you see the time frame Isaiah was referring to?

Then in 9:5 says "For a [b]child has been born to us
, a son given to us, and the authority is upon his shoulder, and the wondrous adviser, the mighty God, the everlasting Father, called his name, "the prince of peace."
and 6 says "to him who increases the authority, and for peace without end, on David's throne and on his kingdom, to establish it and to support it with justice and with righteousness; from now and to eternity, the zeal of the Lord of Host will accomplish this"

So as at the time isaiah was writing this the child has already been born .

So my friend he was referring to Hezekiah who was probably 6 years old as at that time..
Re: Why Did God Want A Son ? by MaxInDHouse(m): 3:09pm On Oct 27, 2020
So which of the mentioned proved to be a Wonder Counselor, Mighty God, everlasting father or Prince of Peace : Whose Kingdom will last forever and ever Isaiah 9:6-7
You can be aggressive with your approach on matters but it doesn't make you wise respecting what's written in the scriptures so answer the question! cheesy

You are not even making any attempt to know..ignorance is a big disease..

Like every other reasonable person, I judge how genuine a book is by the benefit it's producing among its user.
With the Usage of the 'Bible', Jehovah's witnesses have been able to solve 'racism', a global pandemic. Bringing together 8.7million people of different races and background or status to have love among themselves.
With this Book, they've been to disarm them, they don't go to war and kill people.
That's a few

Now, Imagine for a second the effect if everybody is a Jehovah's witness.
No racism, No war.
As MaxInDHouse said, if you cannot present the benefit of your 'Humans are gods in human experience consciousness whatever tales,' It is Useless and worthless

Do you know the import of the highlighted words? Y’know, for every covenant and agreement, there is a middleman—a mediator. For the Law given to the Israelites, Moses was the mediator.

The thing is, I've observed him keenly since I came to NL and he's pretty much the type who forges his beliefs from ancient Sumerian and Mesopotamian mythology, Nollywood fables down to the stories told by grandmothers in the village.

In fact it doesn't matter if you're telling him nonsense he'll accept it with open arms grin
