Bidam: Matthew 14:33 Then those who were in the boat came and worshiped Him, saying, “Truly You are the Son of God.” Why? Because the Son of God is God who can receive worship, He is God in the flesh. |
shdemidemi: So who is the father in that context?This verse according to scholars is a addition. Added later in Latin. It is nowhere in the early Greek texts. Nowhere. Christians do not know this and when confronted with this information, reject it out right or disregard it. In any event, do not take my word for it. Do a little research. |
ijawkid: Ona dey see the nonsense wey this man dey write??.......... Yes, the true God is the Father indeed! |
Bidam: @_Guiriga from the righteousness perspective i tend to agree more with shdemidemi. Paul would not have boasted about his righteousness if he had confidence in his ability.#If someone else thinks they have reasons to put confidence in the flesh, I have more: 5 circumcised on the eighth day, of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; in regard to the law, a Pharisee; 6 as for zeal, persecuting the church; as for righteousness based on the law, faultless.#Yes, give thanks. This is what I'm saying all along. Where did that get Paul? Killing the followers of Christ. That's right. He was persecuting them. A misunderstanding by Paul. Once he came to the understanding of Christ. Then, things changed. He realized that God could raise descendants of Abraham from stones...Him being a Hebrew by flesh means nothing the the most High God the Father. The Father is after the the heart. Paul was after the flesh prior to coming to his "vision" I think I'm being either misunderstood or not explaining myself properly. Either way...give thanks! |
shdemidemi: There is nothing wrong in getting married bro. God supports marriage, in fact Christ is married to the church.I did not say there anything wrong with it. I'm alluding to the fact that if according to some ones understanding we are born sinners. Why are Christians getting married and having children contributing to the sin problem by bringing more sinners into the world? They should know better don't you think brother? |
shdemidemi: The Jews are not people who do the will of the father. The Jews(descendants of Abraham) are as guilty as the gentile.This was the question: What Jews where you thinking of when you brought up Romans 1:16? Ahhh, I understand. A Jews is one thing. A descendant of Abraham is another. The descendants of Abraham are the ones that God can raise from stones. These are as guilty as the gentiles. I agree. But let me clear something up. Israel to me is ANYONE who does the will of the Father. I'm an African. If I do the will of the Father, to the Christ I am of Israel. The ones you have in mind are perhaps the ones in Palestine/Israel ancient day Canaan fighting over a piece of land. That don't matter to me. They can keep that land if they want. We want to go back to Africa. And we are! |
shdemidemi: I get what you are saying, but the bible makes it clear that being a good man or doing unto others as you will like them to do unto you does not qualify you as just and right before God. What makes you right before God is believing in the gospel of Christ, all the good manners can be built on the platform of the faith. The bible says 'the just/righteous shall live by faith'. Church theology is running against Christ teachings. Trust me. Ask your pastor this brother: If we are all born sinners, then why are they getting married and bringing babies to this world. Not only they are doing this, but they are telling their fellow members to get married before having children because that is the right way/Godly to do it. That makes them the biggest sinners out there! Trust me, they don't believe what they are teaching out there. The same fear that comes to person when he takes what is not his is the same fear that should come upon them when are going to have children. Give thanks for the reasoning still. Good reasoning. |
Mr anony: What Jews where you thinking of when you brought up Romans 1:16?Those who does the will of the Father. That is ANYONE with a clean heart. I ask again, what Jews are you talking about? |
SeekingGod: Thanks a lot, i wl keep in mind what you have saidNo problem. |
Mr anony: I say Amen to that. The gospel came to the Jews first after all. Following in line after the Jews doesn't make our salvation any less authentic. Read Colossians 3:11You are right. The early follower of Jesus were from Judah or lived in Judea. What Jews are you talking about? |
shdemidemi: what you are talking about are morals. Morals don't make you righteous or good before God now, the bible says 'all our righteousness/morals are like filthy rags before God' what makes you righteous is believing the gospel of Jesus Christ. The power in the gospel is what changes and renews your mind, intuition and perspective to mirror that of God.You are not addressing my questions brother. "...Do unto others as you will like them to do unto you..." is in the bible. This is the law and the prophets. Jesus morals are not good enough for you? I posted the Buddha because according to Buddhist he said this. Years before Jesus and years before the tribe of Judah came on the scene. This is not progressive. Its been around for a while now. About this filthy rag thing....it was their LORD that made them err from his ways and hardened their hearts.... How do you tell a baby he is a filthy rag before God? Brother think these things through... |
shdemidemi: What church age are you talking about?Do you need progressive revelation to have a clean heart? "...Do unto others as you will like them to do unto you..." Nothing progressive or religious or Jewish about this. This is the Law and the prophets. What's progressive is the interpretation of religious leaders. In fact, this was Buddhist saying way before Jesus came on the scene. Buddhism: 560 BC, From the Udanavarga 5:18- "Hurt not others with that which pains yourself." Who moved the message from doing the will of the Father? |
shdemidemi: No, he is not. If you are for him you are saved. So everyone has a chance in this church age to be just before him.I agree. What church age are you talking about? |
Mr anony: God does not show favouritismI agree. What's your take on this Romans 1:16 |
shdemidemi: The bible qualifies all man has bad, no man is good, we are all sinners. We have only one chance of getting to him which is through Jesus Christ.I agree in some regard. Job in your the bible was a "righteous/blameless" man before Yahweh was he not? |
Mr anony: 1Tim 2:15. Read it in contextGive me your context. |
Mr anony: No where in the bible does it say that only a Jew can have a pure heartThat is exactly my point! |
Mr anony: Rom 2:11 For God does not show favouritism.In total agreement with the above. I was addressing [b]shdemidemi[/b]Saying something along the lines of if you were not a Jew before Christ you were condemned with few exception... or some nonsense like that. Is in his post. This is what Paul recognized. Any child can see this. So Paul wrote what he wrote once he came to this understanding. |
shdemidemi: You are the one saying that, the scripture says something differentWhat? Matthew 5:7 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. I ask you this, can only a Jew have a pure heart? |
Itsfacts: which one are you?None. |
Mr anony: Rom 2:11 For God does not show favouritism.Will pick up later, God willing. Got to step out. |
shdemidemi: You are the one saying that, the scripture says something differentIn regards to what? |
shdemidemi: Anyone that was not Jew before Christ was condemned with a few exception.Fam, I don't know...it sounds like someone is teaching you these things. A reasonable man cannot arrived at a conclusion that the Most High God will chose people base on ethnic background. Is not that racist/prejudice? My African ancestor were they condemned for being African? |
shdemidemi: I am with you with that statement. "...Those who have a pure heart will see God..." How did Jesus save? |
frosbel: Jesus died to save us from sin and it's consequences.What about the people who died before Jesus was born? They did not know anything about a Jesus. Let along Abraham, how were they saved? |
shdemidemi: You said it all, after man fell in to sin we became an enemy of God and a property of the devil, any man that was ever born after Adam carried the sin nature...2000 years later,He decides to elect one man whom he showed favour and He promised that man that him and his descendants will be His own people and through the seed of that one man the rest of the world shall be saved. After another 2000 years the saviour came, He paid the devil a price for our salvation with his life for the world to be reconciled back to God but with a caveat. You must believe he died and resurrected for you to be saved.Brother, this is what they teach in church. Almost verbatim. Have you thought that thoroughly? I'm not trying to cast doubt in your faith but just to reason on it. Let me ask you this: What happened to the people who died before Jesus came on the scene? The people while he was on the scene but did not know about him? Where is their salvation? Give thanks still. |
shdemidemi: Apostle Paul would never say that famI stand corrected. He did not. This is what the Jewish man say now when they pray. |
MostHigh: I and the brother have too much similarity in our convictions so I dont hate nobody for making that assumption.The present day land of Palestine/Israel (formerly Canaan). Is this the piece of land where the Jews are suppose to go back to? Will all the so called chosen people fit in the piece of small real state? Give thanks! |
All religions are bad. They all divide. Only the Father is good. |
shdemidemi: My brother, read your old testament properly to know God knows his people and he will destroy anyone or nation for his people.What? The God that created man, chooses "a people" then destroys the other nations that he himself created? The God send his begotten son to save the same people he plans to destroy and save at the same time. Wow! Please explain.... Thanks in advance. |
shdemidemi: My brother, read your old testament properly to know God knows his people and he will destroy anyone or nation for his people.That is what I'm asking...Did he say that? |
shdemidemi: what is your interpretation?Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets. You don't need Paul to know this. |
