Christianity Etc › Re: Why Are Some Acts Considered Evil Or Sin? by Dtruthspeaker: 5:04pm On Jul 19, 2021

22jumpstreet:
Man was created with the inclination and capacity to do them, and at the same time he also have capacity not to. Just like how Cain was told that evil is at his door, but that he has power to rule over it.

The word "Inclination" was not included when man was created. "Capacity" is right and True but not "inclination".

Inclination, comes from 2 Powers of "the-evil".

One planted in you because your father absorbed it into his soul and the other exerted and pressured on you by the-evil who is also outside you.

Then there is a 3rd evil, which you all do not like to look at, the You, via your Decision and Choice to take the benefits and profits of evil.

22jumpstreet:
Why is taking somebody's life considered an evil act?

For asking this, you can now see that you really did not know very well the difference between good and evil, yet you would have claimed that you did.

It is popular, most Nigerians do not know but they all thought they did.

I See your trap question.

Thus, I reverse the question to you since you are capable of thinking to ask this, think of this, is it good to harm a person who has not harmed you?

Would you consider it evil, when herdsmen come to your house to separate your head from the rest of your body?

Christianity Etc › Re: Why Are Some Acts Considered Evil Or Sin? by Dtruthspeaker: 4:31pm On Jul 19, 2021

22jumpstreet:
Christianity is a dualistic belief system where you have separate gods for both good and evil.

Correction! Only One God and then there is the creation who was the first touch evil, therefore, he became "the-evil" which he touched.

Therefore, there is Only One God and the creation who has been joined to evil.

22jumpstreet:
Whether these gods are equal and opposite is still to be determined.

It is Determined. Good is Too Much Greater than evil (Movies and the world full of evil people have been Lying and Deceiving and Blocking us from seeing that The Good, Will Obliterate the evil and will Always Always do so, even with a look.

Evil, Flees from The Good, Always.

That is what God has done.

22jumpstreet:
But in other belief system like the igbo, yoruba or Judaism there is only one God that I responsible for both good and evil.(Isaiah 45:7).

Since you put in Isaiah, I therefore can comment on this portion.

Evil is a creation, and I describe it as a dustbin and every house always requires a dustbin.

But a dustbin which does not stay in its allotted place will be a problem to the inhabitants of the House.

[quote author=22jumpstreet post=103871880]So in this case it is quite difficult to make up ones mind. But in reality, the universe seems to have capacity for any decision we take.

The difference is Undisputably clear but it takes "Seeing" to see the difference.

22jumpstreet:
So why are some acts considered sin and some are not..

Sin is determined by Whomever is hurtfully and harmfully affected by a certain act, which is why you see words like Trespass (Treathening Passage or Treathened Pass and Offence (Off-Fence, Removal of Legitimate Fences or Breaking down of Fences, Breach of Borders) and Transgression (Transit Aggression)

Hence any act which reasonably harms a person affected by it, is a Sin, Offence, Transgression and Trespass, which is what you see in the Laws of God (Natural Law) prohibiting any and all harm full acts, which reasonably offends a Certain Person.

22jumpstreet:
I know we have had several topics relating to this subject matter. But I want to introduce a new twist to the idea. Why are some things we do considered evil or sin? And why are others not....

An act is evil because Some Person Whom it affects, is hurt, wounded and injured by it.

Which is why you see All Evils are Crimes and ought to Crimes but this evil dominated world have also made some acts which are not evil, crimes also.

Christianity Etc › Re: Please Help, Is It A Sin? by Dtruthspeaker: 4:02pm On Jul 19, 2021

pjetta007:
Good day fellow nairalanders, I am happy and same time am worried, I just helped someone I don't know, I don't even feel like sharing what I did to the person, but am being Appreciative to myself, sometimes I just sit down and I am like appreciating myself but am worried that I am appreciating myself too much, Now this is my question, please friends help me, is it natural, bad or a sin for someone to appreciate him or herself after doing something for someone no matter how small or big it may be?

There is a difference between having a good feeling and appreciating yourself!

Appreciating yourself is self-praise and when you praise thyself, you have taken the Glowry (Glory) which belongs to God.

Therefore, you have stolen God's Due.

The proper and right thing is to Lift Up the Praises To Lord, Who hath Chosen and Empowered you to represent him on the earth.

The feeling of good which you feel is a Natural Reminder of Good (God), in You!

Christianity Etc › Re: Does God Care About The Religion You Belong To? by Dtruthspeaker: 5:15pm On Jul 18, 2021

Obasempiree:
There are about 4,200 religions in the world or more do you think God cares about the religion you belong to? Or infact he just cares about we treating each other with love like Jesus did as a requirement to eternal life, why I asked this is because churches (in Christianity)
are very much separated in these times and the doctrines of these seperated churches are endless, tho most share some similar and common beliefs but their teachings and practice are completely different from each other. Opinions are welcomed

God wants our religion to be that which does Only the Highest Good (Up Right) and the zeroest wickedness or bad.

Christianity Etc › Re: Which Scriptures And Example Shows Sin Can Stop Miracle by Dtruthspeaker: 6:59pm On Jul 17, 2021

jimmynauty:
Wooooow

Love the verses you shared.

Now juxtapose this verses with this and let me hear your mind.

Luke 24:25-28 with emphasis on ve 27.
2 Cor 5:21

Luke 24 is out of the scope of this topic for it is about the fulfillment of the prophecy of the death and resurrection of Christ as God's Prophets did prophecy and therefore not connected to sin stopping blessings.

But 2 Cor 5:21 is relevant and the issues contained therein is How do we become the righteousness of God, through Christ?

The answer is in Proverbs Chapter 1 to 9 same as John 14:15

KaideeGee:
Bro, I'm was just as confused as you are... If you can throw more light on this matter, it will be appreciated.

There are 2 Types of Living men live in this world.

1) Under the Curse and Law of God in Genesis 3 and

2) Outside and Above The Curse and Law in Genesis 3.

99% of people are born into the Curse, which is where you are.

But if look at the beginning of David's life in 1 Samuel, you would see that he was living the Promises of God until he cheated on Mica, his wife in Disobedience of God's Law.

And what did David say when it was well with him?

Obey God's Commandments, Obey His Statutes, Obey His Ordinances (Remember ordinances are Proclamations and Testinonies), Obey His Judgements..

All these things are they not written in his Psalms and Proverbs?

Christianity Etc › Re: Does God Still Work? by Dtruthspeaker: 6:29am On Jul 17, 2021

KaideeGee:
Peace...
Do you believe in the concept of pre-ordination? Your whole life being scripted? Being... I dunno... over before it even began?

If you speak the Truth, you would know that God did not pre-ordain many things rather it is the choices you made.

If you are heading to Ibadan from Abuja and you use Abuja-Kaduna expressway it is most foreseeable that you would never get to Ibadan.

That is the power of making the wrong choice and acting without good information.

KaideeGee:
Does this also mean that God has been resting ever since Genesis? That would sure throw in a lot of confusion into things.

"For whoever enters His rest will also cease from his own works, as God did from His."

Hebrews 4:10 MEV

Just food for thought.

Shalom.

The word is "enter into His Rest". The correct question should be how do I get there? And not whether God is resting. If God Rests or Works, it would still have no value for you, His Rest or Work is not for You!

So since you do not have any valid objection, I can leave you with your last words (I hope! grin

Christianity Etc › Re: .... by Dtruthspeaker: 7:08pm On Jul 16, 2021

LordReed:
That's not what making up a story in your head and believing it is called.

I do not make up stories, I say what I have observed exactly as you had presented what you also observed in saying that men commit suicide much more than women.

It just appears that i happen to have more facts of observations than you.

Then of course, there is even the matter that you will always be Anti-God no matter what.

I did NOT attack you! You arrived at your conclusion by mixing up two distinct and different ideologies.

There are 2 distinct ideologies and one of them is Wrong!

And we see people adopting, celebrating and continuing in their evil works and imaginations and when they are challenged, they then raise "we are covered by grace and other chants".

And this is the people I am against.

As you have admitted there are 2 different ideologies and one of them is evil and because the evil ideology is popular and dominant, it corrupts the advancement of the True Understanding of God's Goodness and Grace which you rightly presented and I have no objection to.

Christianity Etc › Re: .... by Dtruthspeaker: 12:51pm On Jul 16, 2021

LordReed:
Yet men commit suicide more than women on average almost twice as many times. SMH. You will believe myths even in the face of evidence, that is so sad.

Oh you noticed this too. This is the explanation.

Women know both God and Satan and they know that they are Satan's wives and daughters, hence they know that when they die here, "their own don finish patapata".

But men on the other hand are Honoured and Elevated by God and their Only Curse is hardness and Dryness, if they do not break any more of God's Laws.

But when they do sufficiently and continuously Disobey God and even Put Him Away from themselves, AND GOD PUTS THEM AWAY ALSO, then their own don begin to dey finish too while they are still alive, then they begin to Die and they see that they Die and then they see that they are not yet dead so they Stupididly and Foolishly hasten their death, not knowing what the woman knows, that Worse is waiting for them there.

Men always think death is an escape and end of pain and suffering. WOMEN KNOW IT IS WORSE after death.

That is why men foolishly kill themselves and Women are always afraid to die.

Christianity Etc › Re: .... by Dtruthspeaker: 7:39am On Jul 16, 2021*

LordReed:
Indeed. Women live longer than men on average but some how a bronze age myth has convinced you they are more cursed. SMH.

They do have a long life but what kind of life do they have?

Answer! Long life of sorrows and complaints and bickerings and anguish and finally regrets.

Exactly as God Cursed!

But I have Truly seen some women who are Truly Blessed and Outside the Curse, though they are very very few!

Thus, I am telling her that there is Another Beautiful, Pleasant and Good Way, if she would go for it and that her life will still be miserably sorrowful, no matter what she does.

I physically noticed this too. When the 2010 arrived Nigeria around 2012, most (let me not say all) put it up for sale after a few months, say 8months.

Then the Nigerian used completely disappeared and now it is not often you see them parked for sale.

So what is the Nigerian verdict?

Why The Blood Of Christians Who Work Iniquity Would Not Be On My Hands

It's because God made me a watchman to the church and sent me to warn them to repent and to stop working iniquity, which I've been doing vigorously in spite of the sheer amount of attacks I have faced as a result from Christians, especially those whose evil works were being brought to light by my preaching. And God said:....

You yourself are "working iniquity" and have been warned but did you heed?

I will see life as a ocean where I have found myself in and the goal is to get to the other end of the ocean. It takes several months to get to the other end of an ocean. In the ocean there are sharks, wild creatures, strong winds etc that are ready to devour me and my duty is to overcome them. I have no choice but to survive and hope to get to the end of the journey. So while I am sailing my ship to get to the end, I will try my best to achieve somethings that will make the journey worth it. Engage myself in one or two things that will occupy me and give me fulfilment.
When I finally get to the end of the ocean, I can look back and see that this is what I spent all that time on this long journey doing.

As for all the sharks and winds, I can't avoid them so I will accept them as part of the journey. I just hope I don't get badly hurt by them. Instead of just waiting for the journey to end, I will do somethings while on the way. This is how I have understood life from the book of Ecclesiastes.

That is a reasonable and somewhat admirable spirit in taking on, on whatever this life throws at you, BUT, YOU ARE STILL GOING TO CRY OUT LIKE SOLOMON "VANITY, VANITY" IN SOME WEEKS TIME.

Splinz:
To understand, we have to go back.

In the Old Testament, the tabernacle was built in such a way that, it consisted of two parts. The first part was were items like the showbread, lampstand, table etc was found. In the second part of the tabernacle which was equally called the "Holiest of All" was were the ark of the covenant and other sacredness was found. In fact, it was in this second part of the tabernacle that God dwelt.

In this setting of the tabernacle, the priests went into the first part daily, performing their services. But on the second part, only the high priest was permitted to enter once in a year, and he must go in there with animal blood to be offered for his own sin and the sin of the people. The meaning of this two part of the tabernacle was:

1. The first part or veil indicated that access to the very throne room of God was not yet opened to all,

2. The second part was the throne room of God Himself, where He sits and reign.

Now, when Christ came as a High Priest, not like the former who serves in the physical tabernacle, Christ came with a perfect tabernacle not that of corruption, and that tabernacle was His body. Not only that, as a High Priest, He also came with blood. But unlike former high priests who were required to go in with blood of goats and calves, Christ entered the Most Holy Place once for all, shedding His own blood. By so doing, He obtained an eternal redemption for us all, putting to an end the physical tabernacle and its activities. Now, everyone have access to God through christ. (Read Hebrews 9:1-15).

So here's what Hebrews 10:20 means. The new and living way is the one Christ has consecrated or commissioned for us through His body, having tore apart or putting to an end the veil/demarcation that existed between us and God. That is why and how Christ is the mediator between God and man. Through Him, we all have unhindered access to the Father.

Indeed, what a previlege!

I believe she knew this, but I wonder what she has in mind.
