The christians are always fond of saying that "carnal minds" can never understand the bible.
Well my mind must be be carnal then
2 kings 2:11
As they were walking along and talking together, suddenly a chariot of fire and horses of fire appeared and separated the two of them, and Elijah went up to heaven in a whirlwind.
John 3:11
No one has ever gone into heaven except the one who came from heaven--the Son of Man.(these were jesus' words)

Was Jesus created? Was Jesus the greatest creation of God? Why is it so important to understand that Jesus was not created?
No he was begotten of God. that means he is like a part of God that Became another Entity(Son).

Did Paul draw a sword on Bar-Jesus?
As far as self-defense when one’s life or property is threatened, there is not a whole lot in the Bible concerning this. Exodus 22 does show quite a bit about God’s attitude towards self-defense. "If a thief is caught breaking in and is struck so that he dies, the defender is not guilty of bloodshed; but if it happens after sunrise, he is guilty of bloodshed. A thief must certainly make restitution, but if he has nothing, he must be sold to pay for his theft” (Exodus 22:2-3). Obviously, here we see that when a thief breaks into someone’s house at night and that person defends his home and slays the thief, God does not hold that death over the defender’s head.
However, God does not wish for anyone to take the law into his or her own hands. This is why it is said that if a thief is struck down during the daylight the defender is guilty of bloodshed. Now, this is speaking of thievery, not an attack. So if the thief were to attack the defender even during the day, self-defense would be justified

Stop posting rubbish you cannot defend from the Bible.

I guess you have not read this Bible verses.
"It is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than
one tittle of the law to fail." Luke 16:17. "My
covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips." Psalms 89:34. "All his commandments are sure. They stand fast for everand ever." Psalms 111:7, 8.

This verses say that not even a dot or T will be removed from the law, So where did you see that one law(the Sabbath was done away with)?

OK, I am so pleased that you've dragged Nigerian Law into this because the law of gravity etcetera questions which you were dodging earlier can show up here in a slight different form.

Do we then make void the law of gravity by jumping off a skyscraper without a parachute through faith. God forbid: yea, gravity is established.

Can you blueAgent sitting inside a Boeing 747 take off in the air and make the law of gravity void through faith. God allows: Yes, we establish the law of aerodynamics
Stop diverting from my the question which law was Paul referring to Romans3:31. which he asked us to establish.

To get the sense of the passage please read up John 14 and 15, Jesus isnt talking about the ten commandment but his own commandment of love.

jn 15:12 My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you.
You see the Law of liberty you claim that is different from the 10commandments is a big lie.

ReadJames 2:9
But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors. 2:10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. 2:11 For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law. 2:12 So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty.

James is making referrence to the ten commandments. it is only in the ten commandments that God explictly told people not to commit adultery or not to kill.
You see the law of liberty is the same as the ten commandments which james said we will be judged by.

jn 15:12 My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you.
You are wrong.
the Ten Commandments hang from these two
commands like our 10 fingers hang from our two hands. They are inseparable. Love to God makes keeping the first four commandments (which concern God) a pleasure, and love toward our neighbor makes keeping the last six (which concern our neighbor) a joy. Love fulfills the law by taking away the drudgery and by making law keeping a delight ( Psalms 40:cool. When we truly love a person, honoring his or her requests becomes a joy. Jesus said," If ye love me, keep my commandments." John 14:15. It is impossible to love the Lord and not keep His commandments, because the Bible says, "This is the love of God, that we keep His commandments: and his commandments are not grievous." 1 John 5:3. "He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him." 1 John 2:4.


So what are the commandments of God?

OP thank you for putting this write-up in the public domain,

I wonder who is enforcing Exodus 35:2

This sabbath something is very interesting and quite important
but it is bad that all you've shared is not well-known to believers who strictly observes Sunday as a sabbath
and that closet Seventh Day Adventists like the blueAgent or Splinz of this world dont take as gospel that the sabbath has been abolished

After first denying or resisting the truth about the abolition of sabbath, I doubt these two group of sabbatarians
(i.e. observers of Saturday or Sunday as a sabbath),
in light of supportive biblical evidences, <<notice the plural, will admit or agree that it is true that the sabbath has been abolished.
I guess paul was talking about Nigerian Law when he said we should establish the law?

"Do we then make void the law
through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law." Romans 3:31.

Somebody told me that the book of Malachi 3:10 said that we should pay tithe to a supposed god. I asked the guy, is Malachi God Almighty? grin

John told some people that God Almighty loved the world and because of that he killed his innocent child. I ask people, is John God?

Moses told some people to worship only Yahweh as God Almighty. I ask Moses, is Yahweh God Almighty?

John told some people that they can't see the kingdom of God except they are born again. I ask the people once more 'is John God?'


If Kumuyi had had his way, he would have put his name in the bible and it would look like 'the book of Kumuyi'. And in his book, he would have said, God said that you guys should not watch TV or wear trousers as a lady. And my question would have remained 'is Kumuyi God?'

Actually, the God Almighty we have is the Universe. He created the first sets of beings such as Odin, Atum, Yahweh, Allah, Chimides, Ra, Enki, Moloch and Enli, Mazda, Vishnu including thousands others. All these gods have had the time when people worship them massively. And now, Yahweh and Allah are the ones on the limelight(though their time is gradually fading off the minds of the fearless).

Almighty God hasn't commanded human beings to do anything or not to do it since the beginning of time, only the gods do such. And no book should be tagged the 'BOOK OF GOD ALMIGHTY' rather they are the books of the gods.

i.e the bible is the book of the god called Yahweh. Quran is the book of the god Allah. Vedas is the book of the god called Vishnu. And now the god called Atum is revealing his words to me Otem and the words of god Atum are true, because he does not want humans to keep on deceiving themselves and cheating themselves.

In the books of other gods, they made themselves God Almighty to the people that worship them. But in the DOCTUFOS OF TRUTH, God Almighty is being revealed(the father of Atum, Allah, Vishnu, Odin, Yahweh and other gods you have ever heard of).

And currently, some gods who want human to live without fear have put some other gods in a spiritual prison until humans will have a renewal of the mind and live fearlessly. The imprisoned gods are Yahweh, Allah, Moloch, Enlil, Gaol and ten others. And according to the Thummim, they shall be imprisoned for a thousand years until human minds would have evolved into a fearless one.

I AM GLAD TO BE A CARRIER OF TRUTH.

Stop misinterpreting it yourself, read the whole story.

Luke 22
35 And he said unto them, "When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any thing?" And they said, "Nothing."

36 Then said he unto them, "But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.

37 For I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, "And he was reckoned among the transgressors"; for the things concerning me have an end."

38 And they said, "Lord, behold, here are two swords." And he said unto them, "It is enough."

Isaiah 53:12b
"...and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors."

Jesus told them to buy a sword to fulfil the prophecy that he would be seen as an evil man (transgressor) who wanted to start a rebellion against Rome (Luke 23:1-5, John 18:30; 19:12-15).
How can only 2 swords be enough to defend 12 people & fight against the multitude that came to arrest Jesus? C'mon!
Even Peter was chastised for drawing his sword.
Perhaps Jews (PERHAPS) were permitted to kill in war & stone to death as punishment, but nowhere (I haven't seen it anywhere) are Christians instructed to do so, even in self defence.

thank God he said by the law of liberty not the old law

Abeg let us now establish the law. What is the purpose of the old law? We all know it wasnt to make men righteous. So what was its purpose?
By the law is the knowledge of sin." Romans
3:20. "I had not known sin, but by the law: for
I had not known lust, except the law had said,
Thou shalt not covet." Romans 7:7.
B. To show me the difference between right
and wrong.
God's law is like a mirror (James 1:23-25). It
points out wrongdoing in my life as a mirror
points out dirt on my face. The only possible way for a person to know if he is sinning is for him to carefully check his life by the mirror of God's law. Hope for this mixed-up, sinking generation is found in God's Ten Commandment law. It tells where to draw the line! "And the Lord commanded us to do all these statutes [commandments] ... for our good always." Deuteronomy 6:24. "Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe: and I will have respect unto thy statutes continually. Thou hast trodden down all them that err from thy
statutes." Psalms 119:117, 118.
C. To protect me from danger and tragedy.
God's law is like a strong cage at the zoo, which protects us from fierce, destructive animals. It protects us from impurity, falsehood, murder, idolatry, theft, and many other evils that destroy life, peace, and happiness. All good laws protect, and God's law is no exception.

Moses' Teachings couldn't accomplish everything that God required.
But we have something else that gives us greater confidence and allows us to approach God

- Hebrews 7:19

For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ
- John 1:17

Certainly, sin shouldn't have power over you
because you're not controlled by laws (i.e. for you not under The Written Law) but by God's favor.

- Romans 6:14

Certainly, there is a curse on all who rely on their own efforts to live according to a set of standards because Scripture says,
"Whoever doesn't obey EVERYTHING that is written in Moses' Teachings is cursed."

- Galatians 3:10

For whoever keeps the whole Written Law and slips in one thing, he is condemned by the entire Law
- James 2:10

But now we have died to those laws that bound us
(i.e. we have been released or exempted from The Written Law)
God has broken their effect on us
so that we are serving in a new spiritual way, not in an old way dictated by written words
(i.e. the Old Order Scriptures)

- Romans 7:6

So Christ has truly set us free.
Now make sure that you stay free, and don't get tied up again in slavery to the law.

- Galatians 5:1

Ken4Christ:
The New Covenant first fulfilled the 10 Commandments and after that abolished it for a superior way of life - Grace.

To fulfill means to meet its righteous requirements. Jesus took our sins and gave us his righteousness. The nature of this new life is Love. When you walk in love, you will not steal, you will not kill and you will not commit adultery.

Romans 13:9-10.

9 For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

10 Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.

Concerning the concept of sin. Under the Law, sin is the transgression of the Law.

Under the New Covenant, sin is disobedience. Disobedience to the teachings of our Lord Jesus and his Apostles. These are the instructions we live by in the New Testament.

For instance, our Lord Jesus said, forgive when you stand praying. If you don't forgive, you have sinned.

There are several verses that warns us not to fornicate. If you fornicate, you have sinned.

Hebrews 10:25 says we should not forsake the assembly of the saints together. So, if you choose to stay at home when you are supposed to be in Church, you have sinned.

So, the concept of sin under the Law and under the New Testament is not the same.

Besides, the new covenant places a higher standard of righteousness. For example, you have to literally kill under the Law to be a murderer. But under the new covenant, hatred for your brother makes you a murderer.

You have to sleep with a married woman to be called an adulterer, but under the new covenant, when you lust after a woman, you have committed adultery.

The law and grace are two mutually exclusive events. In just the same way you can't have head and tail at the same time, grace and Law cannot exist together.
This is what Paul meant when he said,

Romans 11:6 And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.

If we argue that the 10 Commandments is still in force, what about the Law of Sabbath?

Apostle Paul said no one should judge us based on keeping the Sabbath days confirming the Law and commandments have been abolished;

Colossians 2:16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days.

Please use Scriptures from the New Testament to present your contrary understanding to my submission in this article.

God bless you all.
People misunderstand this Bible verse ,we are
not under the law but grace.they conclude that
the law has been done away with. But this is
misinterpretation of the Bible.
First what is under:under means to govern,manage,authority,been subjected to.
The Bible defines Sin as the breaking of the
law.James2:9-12 And the wages of Sin(breaking of the law is death) Romans6:23
Been under the law means been subjected to the consquences or influence or authority of the law.which means anyone who breaks the law was subjected to death penatly. as shown by this Bible verses Deuteronomy 13:6, 10;
21:18, 21; 22: 21-28, and all of Leviticus 20,you will read there are whole series of injunctions concerning the putting to death of persons who were idolaters, who were rebellious to their parents, who committed adultery or were guilty of incest, who cursed father or mother -- in fact, who violated any part of the moral code. Indeed, someone has estimated that no less than nine of the Ten Commandments are specifically mentioned in connection with the penalty of death for their violation.
Grace:grace means to pardon,to show
kindness,to forebear.
When Jesus died. he fulfilled the requirements of the law by dieing in our place ,through his death we obtained mercy.
Thats we are now nolonger subjected to death
penalty as prescribed by the law, but we are now pardoned and given a second chance .but We are not given mercy that we should continue in Sin. (breaking the law) no but we should live in accordance to the law as people who have obtained mercy.Romans6:1-2, 14:15
An example of Law and grace is found in
John8:1-12.
When people brought and adultress woman to
Jesus, and asked him to permit them to stone her to death according to the law. Jesus wrote with his finger on the ground, and when they persisted Jesus said to them. He without sin should cast the first stone. they all left one after the other,
Then Jesus lookup and asked the woman.where is your accusers and the woman said they have gone. Jesus said to her i don't condem you go and sin no more( do not break the law again) this is a. typical example of grace at work.without grace the woman was supposed to die by stoning but Jesus offered her and all of us Grace(pardon,second chance). Now observe the law remains the same becos it is the law only that can point out sin ,Romans 4:15 and Romans 5:13.
What changed was the dispensation of Justice
instead of sinners been put to death immediately.
We have now obtained grace or pardon.

Please use Scriptures from the New Testament to present your contrary understanding to my submission in this article.

God bless you all.
You just murdered the Scriptures. wat an Error.
Explain to me why Paul said we should Establish the law.

Romans 3:31
Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.

I don't think you need anyone's opinion before obeying God. I mean, the Bible is there for you bro.

The thing is, people don't question why they believe what they do, they don't seek for proofs but simply follow the crowd.

Take for instance, the changing of the true Sabbath day to Sunday by those who called themselves Christians. Who authorized the change- God? What is the origin and history of Sunday observance by the churches of the world?

These are what you need to know, and then decide who to obey. Whether God or man.
True Bro

It true as long as my pastor says so not what the Bible says,this is the mentality that is destorying the church.

The site is quiet enlightening. I want to ask , Is pastor Dough a Pentecostal minister or Adventist. Also what's his opinion on sabbath . I couldn't get the details
He is an Adventist. You can see that all the Bible verses were touched or highlighted in the course of making an argument for the law.
Thats how we are supposed to read and understand the Bible.

Your friend is a staunch believer in his failed prophet Richard Dawkins. If he ever was a true believer in God as healer, he would show you proof. Do your friend know that your stated mission in life as a "Coward Atheist" is to destroy the worlds religions, firstly Christianity and therefore his own life ?

We all must learn to choose friends wisely.

What has Prophet Dawkins offered his followers ? Only hatred of others beliefs. Prophet Dawkins disguise this hatred by promising his followers a better life after the destruction of others religions.

When you listen to the dreaded doctrines of Atheism, dont you stop and ask what are their hidden selfish motives ?
The deluded sheepie will not ask questions or learn.

Take it up with UC Berkeley then. I'm sure the scientist there would love to know how their research is fake.
Which came first, proteins or DNA
(Revelation 4:11) ? For evolutionists, the
chicken or egg dilemma goes even deeper.
Chickens consist of proteins. The code for
each protein is contained in the DNA/RNA
system. However, proteins are required in
order to manufacture DNA. So which came
first: proteins or DNA? The ONLY explanation
is that they were created together.

the truth hurts......a lie is worse.
You murdered the Bible and you said the truth hurts.
Show me where in the Bible that says all the old testament and new testament are different religeons.

2 Timothy 3:16
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for
correction, for instruction in righteousness:

Am sure your Bible does not contain that Bible verse above. becos that verses says all scripture including old and new are to be obey or used for teaching and correction,

your type are the cause of the confusion in Christaindom pls cease from confusing people with your heresy.
