Christianity Etc › Re: The Law Of God And Righteousness, Do We Still Need The 10 Commandments? by budaatum: 1:23pm On Jun 18, 2021

Instead of people been stoned to death immediately after breaking any of the law or presenting a lamb without blemish as a sacrificial offering for sin, people are now expected to look up to Jesus for forgiveness of sin.

You mix up two different groups of people. The breaker of the law is not the stoner, and if both do not learn from the teachings of Christ the law will be broken and the stoner will stone the breaker of the law.

We see this in Nigeria where we will burn thieves on our streets instead of applying the Wisdom of Christ of at least trying them in a court first and then punishing with mercy like throwing the guilty in jail for instance.

If we do not learn from Christ, we are bound to continue in our sinful barbaric nature of stoning and burning law breakers on our streets.

And by the way, that lamb in the old Testament represents the repented self. Ones lamb is not figuratively unblemished if one continues in one's sinful ways.

You fail to understand something and that is the fact that Jesus died to save us from the penalty of the sin which we did not commit in the first place.

No, blueAgent. It is not that I do not understand. I just have a different understanding to your own.

You see, for me, the wealth is in the fact that Jesus lived and taught a great deal that I find to be of immense value and benefit to me, and I wish he had lived longer and taught more so I can have a lot more to study and learn from. While for you, the wealth is in his dying.

It's like when Jesus is written to have said "some are blind, some are deaf, some are unclean, some are lame and to some is the Gospel preached", so do you get what you require and I too get what I require too, to each according to our need.

Definitely,women are weaker vessels and are prone to emotions.wenknow that it wasn't so right from the beginning ,not until son came.into the world.

If I read past this point I would be insulting myself, because the above is enough to show you do not know the difference between stupid ignorant enslaved mindless mud Adam, and intelligent use her God given senses Eve.

I bet you'd argue also that the Adam and Eve who lived a very long and fruitful life that you likely believe culminated in your very own self, died on the day that they ate the Fruit of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil too!

May the Lord God Almighty please open your eyes.

Christianity Etc › Re: How To Think by budaatum: 12:16pm On Jun 18, 2021

I think (a pun intended), the beginning of becoming wise is the ability to think, and if you can't think you might as well be a stone or a rock or Adam like mud. And do note that Adam comes from a religious book.

Thinking, which is a function of the use of the mind, is undesirable to those who wish to control you because with thinking comes questioning, and we all know that if one diligently questions, especially with all one's heart and soul and mind and being, one would become like Eve who questioned if she would surely die on the day that she eats of the Fruit of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, and the rest as we are religiously told, is her story!

You, op, are using your mind as it should be used, to ask and knock and seek with all your heart and soul and mind as opposed to mindlessly slavishly believing what you are told. Basically, you are not stupid ignorant enslaved Adam, but a use your own senses free Eve! So know thyself and expect the slave catchers to come after you to feed you stones and put you back in chains of slavery where they'd like you to remain, for that is where you are of benefit as a matter of convenience to some!

If you had sense you would know that even in the new convenant the law still stands.

See? Even you say the law still stands, so the "penalty of the law" must stand too, and only by learning and understanding the teaching of Christ can one be free from breaking the law and thereby be free of the penalty of the law.

Basically, if I do not commit murder, the penalty for not committing murder can not apply to me, just as the penalty for not loving my enemies would not apply to me if I love my enemies.

And it is not the death of Jesus that would stop me committing murder or loving my enemies, but me accepting the teachings of Christ as my guiding Light.

Yeah.

I think his death was already destined to happen.
Weather we were involved or not, becos that was the only way to free us from the penalty of the law.

I don't think his death was already destined. And his death does not "free us from the penalty of the law" because the wages of sin is still death.

Christ's teachings are far more valuable to humans than Christ's death, or Herod would have just killed him as a baby and your sins would have been washed away as some believe, when the truth is, in order to sin no more you must learn from Christ and understand Christ's teaching and practise what Christ taught or you'd just go on sinning and sinning and sinning.

The text we read was written after the fact to justify what happened, and though some was written as prediction of that which would happen, it clearly wasn't and was a spin on what had happened in the past. Like propaganda, actually. To promote Christianity.

Christianity Etc › Re: What If The Bible Is Not Really What You Think It Is? by budaatum: 9:54am On Jun 18, 2021*

The Bible is exactly what it is, a book written by human beings with intentions, one of which was to inform a small tribe of people how to live amongst other tribes. They were not dumb neither. They knew their secrets would fall into the hands of the tribes they lived amongst, so they put disinformation in it to misdirect and deceive those tribes.

We read in Genesis for instance that Adam and Eve were in a Garden of Eden and God supposedly told them not to acquire Knowledge by eating the Fruit of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil "for in the day that the eat they shall surely die" and yet we know the Israelites thrive in their acquisition of knowledge and are one of the few nuclear energy nations. We also know Adam and Eve did not surely die on the day that they ate of the Fruit of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil and instead went on to live very long and productive lives that we are informed culminated in you yourself but we will lie to convince ourselves they did surely die on the day that they are of the Fruit of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil as if we do not know that it is its opposite, ignorance, that kills!

Can we not see that we ourselves have placed Cherubims and a flaming sword which turned every way to keep ourselves away from Understanding?

A God that keeps people away from the Tree of Life should not really be ones God I would think or is everything about Jesus not about Life?

The Bible is not God. It is a book to be read. To be understood, but we believe it instead and so we tremble in ignorance like demons!

May the Lord God Almighty open our eyes to understand In Jesus Mighty Name Amen.

Understand me.

Christ died to save everyone of us from eternal death which Adam and Eve brought upon us.

We are all sinners from when we are born to when we take that decision to fellow christ.

What christ death did was to free us from that penalty of our past sins and that of Adam which we inherited its penalty been death.

And also to teach us how not to break the law.

I guess I'm more interested in Christ's life than the fact we ignorantly stupidly crucified him for which I seek forgiveness.

We'd probably have been taught a lot more if we hadn't.

She is not dumb. She is just an hustler that realised you could grift white men by acting as a coon. Remember that NAACP bailed her ass out when she was targeted by racist white boys in high school.

At least she is getting paid for cooning unlike the umudike republiQans on Nairaland.

The law(not the 10commandments , but the mosiac law) demands that anyone who violates the 10commandments, must be killed becos the wages of sin is death , and that's what Christ saved us from, the penalty of breaking God's law and not God's law itself.

Not the "penalty of breaking God's law". Because as you yourself said, the law and the penalty still applies.

What Jesus came to teach was how not to break the commandments in the first place so that the law of breaking them does not apply to one.

The Fed’s monetary policy committee announced today that it raised two administrative interest rates “in order to keep the federal funds rate well within the target range and to support smooth functioning in money markets.”

It raised the interest it pays the banks on required and excess reserves, the IOER, to 0.15% (from 0.1%). And it raised the offering rate for overnight reverse repos (RRP) to 0.05% (from 0.0%).

I can't understand why you'd think my yippee means Israel would stop bombing Gaza or Gaza would stop bombing Israel. Are you not aware that there have been numerous changes of leaders in both places in the past and the bombing never stopped?

And no, I don't recall saying anything about your comment because it really is not telling me anything but the obvious.

Go on. Show me you are not lazy. Post the reason I gave for my yippee so we at least see you can try to understand whether you agree or not.

Isn't the following mysterious enough for you?

Every other Truth was shown you in Nature by mummy and daddy and Teacher but everyone is unable to explain how Square Root works!

Mathematicians can not explain it either,(I have asked them) they just chew their mouth raising big big grammar, which they did not do for the other settled Truths in Nature.

Neither is Square Root seen or Used in Nature, So where did it come from?

I have told you before one of the most destructive weapons in this world is True-Lies or Lies-Truths or Half-Truths or Half-Lies.

It does show how little you understand!

I am here to establish only that which is True as there are so many lies flying around which are not properly challenged and destroyed, so that Only Truth is Seen and Consumed.

It is impossible for any human person to properly supply a True report about the whole view of the earth because we are inside it and it is larger than everyone one of is.

You are "here to establish only that which is True as there are so many lies flying around" even though "it is impossible for any human person to properly supply a True report about the whole view of the earth"?

buda is pleased to see you realise you are human and therefore understand how impossible it is for you to "properly supply a True report"!

Your new found humility is befitting.

Dtruthspeaker:
Secondly, I think you have departed from the flow of the thread which is about comparing the opinion of one set of observers called scientists with the opinion of another set of observers called Christians.

Jesus would say "The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eye is dim all your senses would be useless".

A scientist would say "as far as we currently know or understand", so as not to continue believing in light of further evidence, so I don't think I need to say which observer is more valid since we all have the eyes to see with!

Dtruthspeaker:
So as we say in law and Crime enforcement, your question is beyond our jurisdiction and above our pay grade.

Oh come on dt. Surely this is where you claim you are a lawyer and so must be on a higher pay grade than everyone else!

Or is that not why you are "here to establish only that which is True as there are so many lies flying around which are not properly challenged and destroyed"?
