Tycyborg:Jesus Christ alrewdy informed you that it is not what you eat/ingest that makes you filthy in anyway or form. So whether it is a hobby or done too much, it does not render you filthy, not where God is concerned. ![]() Instead what makes you filthy is what you have inside of you. |

Tycyborg: Whatever you say is not necessarily a fact but can only be classified as opinion. |

Kobojunkie:Y don't u ansa d question u sef U are d only niggar fr Christ standing alone��� Even d apostles were sent out in tu My bloda why are u |
Re: Is It A Sin For A Christian To Smoke? by Kobojunkie: 11:15am On Apr 29, 2021 |
emzynuel1:Jesus Christ said that if you obey His commandments, He, Jesus Christ and the Father will come and live inside of you. So, isn't the answer obvious ![]() Instead, the conditional stated in the law of 2 or 3 witness, does not imply a mandated gathering but instead gives assurance to us that even when we gather with others in His nname,Jesus Christ stands with us. ![]() About the apostles, I am afraid they were not always sent out in 2s. Remember Philip? In Acts of the apostles, he was sent out alone. ![]() The New Covenant , Jesus Christ is an agreement between God and individuals, not groups, so be sure that God can and may require you to walk alone. Be ready for it too. ![]() |

Kobojunkie:Philip was sent out alone try d holy spirit If it was jux d commandment y did d apostles receive d holy spirit |
Re: Is It A Sin For A Christian To Smoke? by Kobojunkie: 6:23pm On Apr 29, 2021 |
emzynuel1:If the Spirit of God not God? ![]() I am afraid you need to go read what Jesus Christ said in John chapters 14, 15 and 16 about those who truly belong to Him and why it is important that they are led by the Spirit of God. ![]() |
Re: Is It A Sin For A Christian To Smoke? by emzynuel1: 7:51pm On Apr 29, 2021 |
Kobojunkie:Are u trying to say the holy spirit, the son and God are not one |
Re: Is It A Sin For A Christian To Smoke? by Kobojunkie: 8:33pm On Apr 29, 2021 |
emzynuel1:When Jesus Christ, the Truth of God, said that if you obey His Commandment, that He, Jesus Christ, and His Father, will come and live inside of you, Jesus Christ in fact meant that inside of those who are born-again lives two Spirits - the Spirit of Truth (Jesus Christ) and the Spirit of God(God). ![]() Yes, there is not just one helper but two of them and both of them of God. So , though they are 2 different Spirits living on the inside of a one who is born-again, they are one - united in God. ![]() |
Re: Is It A Sin For A Christian To Smoke? by emzynuel1: 9:18pm On Apr 29, 2021 |
Kobojunkie:Bro stop amusing urself did u even read dat part of d Bible to u told me to read How come he still sent the holy spirit If d apostles already have Jesus Christ and God in dem John 16 verse 4 down Christ himself said if dat if he doesn't leave d holy spirit cannot come to guide Dem it says dat d spirit will speak of wat he hears from the father Meaning dat d spirit itself is independent but works together with the Trinity |
Re: Is It A Sin For A Christian To Smoke? by Kobojunkie: 9:23pm On Apr 29, 2021 |
emzynuel1:You need to learn to comprehend that which is written to you before you respond. ![]() Pay attention! Kobojunkie: |
Re: Is It A Sin For A Christian To Smoke? by emzynuel1: 10:31pm On Apr 29, 2021 |
Kobojunkie:So basically there is no holy spirit or third person Only d father n d son ryt So wat u wmare bluntly saying is dat dere is no Trinity ryt ![]() |
Re: Is It A Sin For A Christian To Smoke? by Kobojunkie: 10:38pm On Apr 29, 2021 |
emzynuel1:If you are asking whether I believe in Man's doctrine of Trinity, my answer is no. ![]() As for what you said of only the father and the son,I suggest you go back and carefully read what I have posted so you can ask better questions of me. ![]() |
Re: Is It A Sin For A Christian To Smoke? by emzynuel1: 10:49pm On Apr 29, 2021 |
Kobojunkie:If Jesus is the spirit of truth Then y did he have to tell d disciples dar he needs to go b k fr the spirit to cum Check dat ur John again |
Re: Is It A Sin For A Christian To Smoke? by Kobojunkie: 10:52pm On Apr 29, 2021 |
emzynuel1:In John 14 vz 23 - 28, you are told that the one to come is ANOTHER, in addition to the Spirit of Truth which they already know. ![]() In Ezekiel 36, God Himself tells you that He will install a new Spirit in His followers, and will put His own Spirit in them to make them obey His commandments. So there are 2 Spirits, not one. ![]() |
Re: Is It A Sin For A Christian To Smoke? by emzynuel1: 10:55pm On Apr 29, 2021 |
Kobojunkie:Check John 16 1 John 5:7-8 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one Are u trying to say d scripture is rong |
Re: Is It A Sin For A Christian To Smoke? by Kobojunkie: 11:16pm On Apr 29, 2021 |
emzynuel1:That scripture has nothing to do with this discussion though. ![]() Do you recall we were on the subject of gathering and you mentioned how I mentioned that Jesus Christ lives inside of even a one who is not gathered with others? ![]() Also,the doctrine of trinity goes beyond what John wrote there in 1st John 5 vs 7-8. ![]() |
Re: Is It A Sin For A Christian To Smoke? by emzynuel1: 11:56pm On Apr 29, 2021 |
Kobojunkie:Bro u don dey disguise abiii I asked u if I believed in the Hy Trinity u said no U again said dat spirit is jux the spirit of truth wich is Christ and the other one which is God D verse which I showed u was shown to prove ur hypothesis rong Anyway shaa he does but d prob is do u have d holy spirit Moreover as I said earlier iron sharpens iron even Christ imself had disciples The apostles gathered nt jux to pray but to strengthen their faith and give encouragement to one anoda |
Re: Is It A Sin For A Christian To Smoke? by Kobojunkie: 12:13am On Apr 30, 2021 |
emzynuel1:Again 1. I made it clear that I do not subscribe to Man's doctrine of the Trinity ![]() 2. I told you that in the Gospel of John, john 14, Jesus Christ explained that there are 2 Spirits living inside of everyone who is a born-again follower of Jesus Christ. ![]() 3. I gave you no such hypothesis such I am certain what you claim to have disproved ![]() 4. The verses you posted from the letter of John insteas speaks of witnesses for every follower of Jesus Christ in Heaven and on Earth. Since we never discussed the topic of witnesses, I am certain why you felt that was appropriate for this conversation ![]() 5. If you had the Spirit of God inside of you,you would not be asking over and over about "trinity" because you would know that the doctrine is according to the ideas and opinions of men and not God's teaching. ![]() 6. Jesus Christ did not come to call you so you can do as the apostles did. Jesus instead called you to live according to His examples and commandments to you. You and you alone will answer for everything you did here on earth in His name. There are no groups in this... and this because Jesus Christ came to call individuals, not groups, to God. ![]() |
Re: Is It A Sin For A Christian To Smoke? by emzynuel1: 12:30am On Apr 30, 2021 |
Kobojunkie:Guy wat is ur point sef Do u or do u nt believe in d holy Trinity If no are u trying to say d Bible is false |
Re: Is It A Sin For A Christian To Smoke? by Kobojunkie: 12:50am On Apr 30, 2021 |
emzynuel1:Are you now feigning blindness? ![]() |
Re: Is It A Sin For A Christian To Smoke? by emzynuel1: 1:31am On Apr 30, 2021 |
Kobojunkie:Even d Bible acknowledge d holy Trinity n u are saying u don't accept man's theory on d Trinity Bro dat bullshit I jux tink u are either an extremist with ur view or jux completely confused Wen u study d Bible u can't jux take wat u want n ignore d text due to d fact dat dey don't meet ur doctrine or approach towards life Even understanding the Bible requires d holy spirit Let say am blind Wat are u trying to say sed |
Re: Is It A Sin For A Christian To Smoke? by Kobojunkie: 1:41am On Apr 30, 2021 |
emzynuel1:1. To those of you who cling to the doctrine, the Bible ofcourse seems to acknowledge that doctrine as it was presented you by men. But the Truth is. The Bible instaed speaks of a different kind of relationship between the trio than your doctrines teach you. ![]() 2. Jesus Christ instructed you to never accept or teach the doctrines and traditions of men as they are nothing but lies which instead heap curses on those who teach them and those who imbibe them. ![]() 3. You think I am an extremist where it concerns the teachings of Jesus Christ? Do you think that when Jesus Christ declared that He alone is the Truth, he was calling you to allow some lies? ![]() 4. I never just take what I want and leave the rest. I simply told you that the verse you provided has no relationship to the topic of discussion. There is such a thing as context even where a conversation is concerned. ![]() 5. God never told you that you need the Spirit of God to comprehend what is written in scripture. In fact, Jesus Christ said rather that you should use the understanding you already have, and only then will you be given more. But if you do not apply even basic human language comprehension skills first to understanding what is written, as it is written, why do you think more understanding will be given you, even if by the Spirit of God. ![]() 6. I told you that this discussion has nothing to do with Trinity and I also informed you that I don't believe in Man's idea of Trinity. What I don't understand is why you keep asking me of Trinity as if you do not know what I have clearly stated before now on the subject. ![]() |
Re: Is It A Sin For A Christian To Smoke? by emzynuel1: 7:42am On Apr 30, 2021 |
Kobojunkie:Bible scriptures attached to each of your point pls If Christ Neva allowesd us to take d doctrine of men den y Don't u sleep with ur sis nah Since it was accepted in d old testament |
Re: Is It A Sin For A Christian To Smoke? by Kobojunkie: 11:04am On Apr 30, 2021 |

Re: Is It A Sin For A Christian To Smoke? by Tycyborg(m): 4:50pm On Apr 30, 2021 |
Kobojunkie: Honestly you have a point. |
Re: Is It A Sin For A Christian To Smoke? by emzynuel1: 6:17pm On Apr 30, 2021 |
Kobojunkie:Wat does it say If u don't believe in men's doctrine y Don't u exclude other part apart from d gospel frm d Bible |
