Superb topic. This is why they say wisdom involves knowledge of Self. Man is made up of a Spirit (Adam) and a Soul or free Spirit (Eve). Both of whom are within the Mind (Temple of God) of Man. The Mind is master over the body/flesh. Mind over matter. We do what we think. The body is slave to the Mind. The brain (matter) is central to the expressions of the Spirit and Soul.

Adam = Spirit = Consciousness. The fruits of the Spirit are Love, inner peace, self-control, creativity, faith, hope, etc. This is the Conscience- that quiet voice that opposes the soul. The fruits of the soul are anger, envy, lust, ego, fear, intellect, etc. A new born baby is alive in the womb before it’s born. (Kicking,etc). Babies are pure and innocent (one spirit and soul controlled by the Spirit (Godhead)) until they develop their free spirit (soul), ego..

The purpose of life is to bring the soul under the control of the Spirit (Godhead). This is what marriage means, the union of the soul and spirit. The two become one Mind (yin/yang)

Evidence of a general lack of knowledge of Self. Man is made up of a Spirit (Adam) and a Soul or free Spirit (Eve). Both of whom are within the Mind (Temple of God) of Man. Adam = Spirit = Consciousness. The fruits of the Spirit are Love, inner peace, self-control, creativity, faith, hope, etc. This is the Conscience- that quiet voice that opposes the soul. The fruits of the soul are anger, envy, lust, ego, fear, intellect, etc. The purpose of life is to bring the soul under the control of the Spirit (Godhead).

JMAN05:


It depends on what you mean by spirit. We don't have a conscious spirit part. We are flesh with a spark of life - breath of life.

The Spirit is Consciousness!

CountDracula:
conciousness is not spirit... Not in my opinion anyways, conciousness is more like activation, imagine humans were phones, ur body would be like the case of the phonem the spirit will be like the battery, the conciousness would be like the OS; whether its windows, android or iOS... They all work hand in hand but if ur phone case is damaged u can just remove the battery and still use it for another phone, however the battery does not carry the things u stored on the previous phone

Yes our spirit exits before our birth. It is the Spirit/Consciousness that allows the baby to have life before birth. That is, able to kick inside the mother’s womb. The Spirit is the essence of Man. At birth, our Spirit and Soul are one (United). That is why babies are innocent until they develop the free spirit or soul

The Light shines in the darkness but the darkness comprehended it not!

Firstly I don’t call the Supreme Being or deity God anymore. HIS name is El..El Elyon (Most High). El is a Negro when in human form. When not in human form, El is Spirit and Spirit is Consciousness. Every human has a Spirit and a soul. Adam represents the Spirit and Eve represents the Soul. The soul and spirit exist within the Mind of man. We know the Spirit or Consciousness exists because we have a conscience. That quiet voice that opposes the Soul (free spirit). If you ever had an accident, near accident or near death experience or even been spooked by someone, your Spirit gets perturbed. You know this. When we marry or unite our Soul and Spirit, we become One with the Spirit or Consciousness. That is one with El/God.

Martinez19:
We atheists don't believe in god because there are no evidences to believe in god. Not just that, religions and other world mysticisms are flawed, have no basis in reality and can't survive scrutiny. However, we are ready to have a change of heart if and only if there is proof. Let me speak for myself, how can I be convinced? Simple, you simply have to do the following:

1) DESCRIPTION OF YOUR GOD: there must be a description of your god. If available to you, rely his attributes and other details. For christians that would be your bible, for muslims that would be the q'uran etc. From there we can know the god you are talking about.

Before I go on to the next and final step, I would like chip in something. there are two kinds(as I classified them) of proof, here are want I call them:
a) evidence based proof : here, a material proves a claim.
b) non-evidenced based/logic sufficient proof : here, sound logic and reasoning is just sufficient to prove a claim eg. "I know my grandfather existed because I exist", "every living human had a grandmother" etc. No material is needed. Here we go

2) PROVE YOUR CLAIM : to convince me, you must do the following completely:
a) provide a sound, unshakeable and irrefutable logical pathway that leads from my observable reality to the conclusion of your god ie. in what way can I logically infer, from my observable reality, that your god exists. This inference/pathway must be both logically sufficient and evidence based. Come to think of it, this is what scientific proof is all about. If you or your god can't do this, I have no because believing in your idea of god.

A summary of both steps: you tell me your idea of god then WHY you believe in his existence. You reason for believing in must satisfy the conditions in step 2 for me to become a believer like you or else I remain an atheist.

Speaking of forces:
These forces are aka fruits.
The fruits of the Spirit are love, joy, self-control, creativity, empathy, etc. These are good forces that emanate from the Spirit (Adam). The fruits of the soul are anger, envy, sexual desires, etc. These are evil forces that emanate from the Soul (Eve). So there is a push and pull happening constantly (an internal battle). The masters of Self like Christ came to show us how to bring the Soul under the control of the Spirit = Consciousness = God

Amberon11:
Sex is not stronger. The strongest force in the universe is love and that is because God is love and God is the greatest.

Looking at your 'Islam for Muslims only' forum, I have noticed two subjects that I believe Muslims haven't been able to properly address.
The first being how to tame masturbation and the other being marriage as the solution.
It has become apparent that your isolation on this site will not allow you to tap into some universal truths that are applicable to all people regardless of race or religion.
There is clearly a lack of overstanding within both the Christian and Muslim community here on Nairaland.
I will urge the Muslims to read my posts on 'understanding Adam and Eve' and 'Marriage is fraud'.
For those that can't be bothered because I'm not Muslim (not Christian either, nor am I an atheist) here is the summary of the gist of it all.

Man/Woman is made up of a Spirit (Adam) and a Soul (Eve). The fruits of the Spirit are joy, peace, self-control, etc. The fruits of the Soul are anger, greed, Fornication, sexual urges, etc
To be a master of self, we must bring the Soul under the control of the Spirit (Godhead or Consciousness)
Marriage is the union of the Spirit with the Soul. Therefore marriage can solve masturbation but not in the way you think.

And also...Allah or ilah (did you know that the ‘il’ in ilah originates from the name El?) So feel free to read my post on El being the true name of what is called God @helppppp @mofpearl

The ancient Hebrews were in fact the Canaanites, who are not of Ham as we have been led to believe. The Canaanites are the 11 lost tribes. They are what was originally referred to as Negro, who occupied central and west Africa (Negroland) before they were enslaved by Africans/Ethiopians/Egptians and sold to Europeans and Arabs. This was why Moses was able to be mistaken as an Egyptian, rather than Hebrew. The Hebrews are a people of west Africa (men had dada hair as per photo)

“Can the Cushite change his skin or the leopard his spots?”

Jeremiah 13:23

Very interesting but here's he true version.
Wakanda represents ancient Judah and Israel which is were the coming Kingdom of Heaven will be.
The Black Messiah / Black Panther represents a root that sprung out of Jesse...son of David and 'Son of Man' who will rise from the tribe of Jebus (ancient order of Melchizedek).
The World will be shocked (particularly Christians) to find out that their Messiah is a Negro from today's Ijebu tribe.

"Jesus is our bridegroom and we are His bride."
Sooo.. Do you have to doll yourselves up for Jesus ? j/k

Jesus has already returned, good brother. And to our great surprise, as none other than Marvel's hero Black Panther. I'm dead serious. Allow me to make my point. In numerology:

Christos = Black Panther = 111
Heaven = Wakanda = 55

In other words, Wakanda is the kingdom of Heaven and Black Panther is the melanated Christos (or Black Messiah). Wakanda was also the name of the Supreme Being for some [url=https://books.google.be/books?id=e8XsiW4V8BsC&pg=PA14&lpg=PA14&dq=wakanda+native+american&source=bl&ots=lJhgXCCzMF&sig=3x11kA1CBCmOMw8HGh4zg3I9G0U&hl=fr&sa=X&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=wakanda%20native%20american&f=false]Native American tribes[/url]. A son of Wakanda would thus be a 'Son of God'. The King at the very least.

How the black panther is related to Christ:
"The image of a panther is often used in Heraldry. Even though the animal is not native to Europe, the Panther is a central figure in the coats of arms and flags of many European countries and ancient family bloodlines. Countries like Croatia, Slovenia, and Austria have coats of arms depicting the Panther in a powerful stance. This may be due to the fact that in medieval times, panthers were seen as symbols of Christ and the mortal enemies of Dragons, the embodiment of evil in some circles. Putting a panther on a coat of arms was a creative way to represent the spiritual connection of a family or country with the core beliefs of Christianity. Panthers and Dragons were often depicted fighting as an expression of the battle between good and evil. The images tended to be rather stylized, since many medieval Europeans rarely got the chance to see a panther in person."

By appearing in a popular movie, Christ is in tune with the times, accessible to many but only his genuine followers will recognize Him. What better way to filter out pretend Christians than return as a Black man ? We know racist believers would never accept a black person as the Son of our Lord. Rejoice for he has returned. Do not overlook the signs, brothers and sisters.

Fornication has nothing to do with sexual immorality. Fornication is a fruit of the Soul i.e.fornicating with idols, Foreign Gods, Religion, etc..
For those not convinced please read my post on understanding Adam and Eve before you come at me. Marriage is not what we think it is. Marriage is the union of the Soul and Spirit.

The difference between Nigeria and America is not infrastructure but mental structure. Until our mindset is changed and rebranded things will hardly change.

A developed sound mind will hardly subscribe to fraud, corruption and scam and violence. The minds of many are decaying. God please restore the minds of many.

Not entirely true. Christ promised us the comforter or spirit of truth who is supposed to guide us in all truth. It is the spirit that testifies to truth and testifies if we are truly born again or not. As the fruits of the Spirit are diff/opposite to the fruits of the Soul I.e. jealousy, envy, greed, fornication, etc

thank you brother, A man cannot become bornagain by trying to, it is purely and completely the work of the saviour Jesus Christ.

Mark 13:32 also proves trinity is false
32But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father

TATIME:
TRINITY in another version.

Another version? So how is God the Son? Abeggi don’t miss-represent my contribution. Nothing trinity about what I wrote

TATIME:
TRINITY in another version.

The trinity doctrine is false...
Christ comes to show us how to be One with the father. The father is Spirit = Consciousness. Man is made up of a Spirit (Adam) and Soul (Eve). When the two unite or marry they become One with God. The Spirit being the Godhead. So when Christ says I and the father are One, it means his Soul and Spirit are One.

tomakint:
God is Supreme and He Alone Is One but how come some Christians call Jesus God When the Bible never said so. Below is my take with references from the Holy Scriptures;

I Saw In The Night Visions, And, Behold, One Like The Son Of Man (Jesus Christ) Came With The Clouds Of Heaven, And Came To The Ancient Of Days (God Almighty Father, Yahweh), And They Brought Him Near Before Him. (Daniel 7: 13)
The Revelation Of Jesus Christ, Which God (Yahweh, Jehovah) Gave Unto Him, To Shew Unto His Servants Things Which Must Shortly Come To Pass; And He Sent And Signified It By His Angel Unto His Servant John: (Revelation 1:1)

Jesus Said Unto Them, If God Were Your Father, Ye Would Love Me: For I proceeded Forth And Came From God (Yahweh); Neither Came I Of Myself, But He Sent Me. (John 8: 42) How Come Trinitarians Are Preaching Three Gods With Equal Powers And Strength When The Bible Never Said So. What Do You Believe? Bible Never Calls Jesus As God Almighty But Calls Him Only Begotten Son Of God Who Is Subservient To God Almighty And Was Sent By God To Redeem All Mankind To God Almighty By The Shedding Of His Precious Blood As Instructed By The Ancient Of Days.

Roman 12:2 describes what it means to be born-again:
2And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

solite3:
What Does It Mean To Be “Born Again”?

This term “born again” first appears in the Bible in John chapter three...

“There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born? Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again” (John 3:1-7).

An unsaved man once said to me, “That born again stuff makes no sense to me.” Perhaps you feel the same. There are “How To Be Saved” articles all over the internet (and I am thankful for them all), but many people want a complete explanation of what it means to be “born-again.” Why do we need to be born again? What does it mean? That is my purpose in this article, that is, to explain this great Biblical doctrine in layman's terms. Please give me a moment and I will make it as plain as you've ever heard. Most people have religion, but very few people have ever been Biblically born-again. Unless you are born again, you absolutely cannot go to Heaven (John 3:5).

Simply put, to be “born again” means to have He (Jesus) Who is the beginning born in you. In Revelation 1:8 Jesus said, “I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.” Alpha and Omega are the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet, respectively. Man by birth is spiritually dead, which I will explain further in a moment. To be born-again is a miracle of God, by which Jesus Christ comes into your body to live, literally in the form of the Spirit of God. Romans 8:9, “But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.”

To understand what it means to be born-again, it is necessary to understand that there are TWO BIRTHS. The “first” birth is the PHYSICAL BIRTH when you were born into this world from your mother and father. When the Bible speaks of being “born of water,” it is speaking about the physical birth (NOT baptism). The “second” birth is a SPIRITUAL BIRTH, which means to be born of the “Spirit” (that is, God's Holy Spirit). Why does a person need to be born spiritually? What is a “spiritual” birth?

The Bible teaches that man is created in the image of God (Genesis 1:26-27). There is one God according to Deuteronomy 6:4; but He exists in the three Persons of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. The Bible refers to this triune nature of God as the Godhead (Acts 17:29; Romans 1:20, Colossians 2:9 - King James Bible only). Colossians 2:2 refers to the Godhead as “the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ.” The Godhead wasn't meant to be understood; but rather, believed as sound Biblical doctrine by God's children.

Likewise, mankind is created in God's image in the form of a body, soul and spirit. Our earthly body is the tabernacle (2nd Corinthians 5:1-4) of the soul and spirit. The body is a temporary dwelling place of man's soul and spirit. Our soul is composed of the heart (to feel), the mind (to think), and the will (to decide). Hebrews 4:12 makes a distinction between man's soul and spirit, “For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.”

Animals have souls, but not a spirit. Man's spirit returns to God upon death. Ecclesiastes 12:7, “Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.” Animals have a mind to think, and a heart to feel and a will to decide; but animals do not have a spirit to discern spiritual matters. This is why humans have an inherent need for religion (God). It is the spirit of man that makes humans totally different and unique from animals.

Man's spirit is dead in sin when we are born; that is, we are born void of God with an inherited sin nature from Adam. The only exception is the Lord Jesus Christ Who came as God in the flesh (1st Timothy 3:16). Our spirit is dead in trespasses and sin the Bible says...

“And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience” (Ephesians 2:1,2)

The unsaved person cannot understand God, nor His Words, because they are spiritually discerned...

“But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned” (1st Corinthians 2:14)

The reason why you need to be “spiritually” born is because you have never been spiritually born to begin with. So when the Bible speaks of being “born again,” it actually means “born for the second time.” You were born physically into this world, but you were born without the Spirit of God in your soul (spiritually dead). Yes, God created you, but He gave you a freewill to decide for yourself where you will spend eternity.

God never forces anyone to accept Jesus as their Savior. He simply offers a warm invitation to anyone who wants to have their sins forgiven and go to Heaven. Salvation is a free gift (Romans 5:15; 6:23), paid for by the precious blood of Jesus Christ (1st Peter 1:18,19; Revelation 1:5). We must accept God's gift of eternal life or it WILL be forever forfeited when we leave this world (die).

God commanded Adam and Eve not to eat of the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden. Genesis 2:17, “But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.” Notice, God said they would die “the day that thou eatest thereof.” Interestingly, Adam and Eve DIDN'T die physically the day they ate the fruit and disobeyed God's command. Why?

The reason is because they died SPIRITUALLY instead of physically. When Adam sinned, sin and death entered the human race. The Bible teaches that from Adam until present time, mankind has been born spiritually dead, inherited down from Adam's sin. This is why humanity MUST be born-again. This is only possible through the Holy Spirit of God, which makes us alive again (quickened the Bible says) by faith in Jesus Christ as our Savior. We are saved by repenting of our unbelief and believing the Gospel that Jesus DIED, was BURIED and RAISED up three days later.

To be “spiritually” born means that God's Holy Spirit “quickens” us (or makes us alive). When a sinner believes on the Lord Jesus as the Christ—trusting Him alone to forgive all sins—then God the Father and God the Son come into one's heart in the form of God the Holy Spirit (John 14:23). The “Holy Spirit” is “God within us.” The old man is the flesh. The old man cannot be tamed. There is nothing good about the flesh. When we get saved (born again), the old man doesn't change. Rather, the new man (which is Jesus Christ) comes to indwell (live) within our body. 1st Corinthians 3:16, “Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?”

I have God living in my body in the form of the Holy Spirit. I was born-again at age 13. Romans 8:9 tells us that the Spirit of Christ dwells within every believer. I am not God, but I have God's Spirit living in my body. The Godhead indwells every believer. The Holy Spirit of God guides me, comforts me, teaches me, rebukes me, chastises me, convicts me, encourages me, empowers me, loves me, strengthens me, and so much more. The Holy Spirit uses the Word of God to do these things. This is why it is critically important for every believer to live in their Bible (and make sure you have a reliable Bible—I only use the faithful King James Bible).

A person cannot understand the Bible without the presence of the Author, and God is the Author. When you become born-again (or born for the second time), God's Holy Spirit comes into your body (1st Corinthians 3:16), never to leave (Hebrews 13:5), and you will begin to understand many new things for the first time in your life...

“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” —2nd Corinthians 5:17

It is ONLY through the Precious Word of God that anyone can be born-again. Surely, no one can be born into this world again physically. There is no turning back the hands of time. However, you most certainly can be born again, spiritually, into God's family through the Spirit of Christ... “But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his” (Romans 8:9).


How To Be Born Again Biblically

The way we become “born again” is found in the Word of God...

“Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.” —1st Peter 1:23

We are born again by the Word of God. Jesus is the Word of God (John 1:1,14: Revelation 19:13). The following statement sums it up pretty good...

If you're born once, then you die TWICE;
If you're born twice, then you die ONCE.

If you don't receive Jesus Christ and become a born again Christian, then you will sadly burn in hellfire for all eternity (John 3:18,36; Revelation 20:15; 21:. Perhaps you say with the man I mentioned earlier, “That born again stuff makes no sense to me.” Well, most people can't explain how a black cow can eat green grass, give white milk, and then it's turned into yellow butter—but they still eat it! My friend, you don't have to figure everything out to be saved, you just need to trust upon Jesus, the Christ, the only begotten Son of God.

Again, being born-again means having He Who is the Beginning (Jesus Christ) born in you.” Revelation 1:8, “I am Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the Ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.” Isn't that beautiful. When a person is born-again, the Spirit of Christ comes to live in that person's body. “Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of His” (Romans 8:9b). This birth comes about only through faith in the Son of God.

The GOOD NEWS (the Gospel) is that it is very EASY to have the second birth, i.e., a spiritual birth. God came down to this earth 2,000 years ago and took upon Himself the form of a man. That man was the Lord Jesus Christ (John 1:1,14; 1st Timothy 3:16). Literally, the GODHEAD became incarnate (Colossians 2:9—King James Bible).

Jesus was born of a virgin (Isaiah 7:14). Jesus never sinned even once (2nd Corinthians 5:21; Hebrews 4:15). Jesus died, was buried and rose again after three days (1st Corinthians 15:1-4). Jesus shed His precious blood to pay for all our sins (Colossians 1:14; 1st Peter 1:18,19), and applied that blood to the Mercyseat in Heaven (Hebrews 9:12, 24-26). My friend, if you believe that Jesus is the Christ, the only begotten Son of God Who died, was buried and rose again for your sins, and you've made that your hope for Heaven by believing on His name, then you are a born-again child of God.

Jesus is the Savior Who paid for our sins. If you realize that you're a guilty sinner, then you simply need to believe on the Gospel of Jesus Christ to have your sins forgiven. Believe that Christ died and was resurrected, shedding His precious blood to wash away your sins. All God the Father asks is that we come for salvation by way of the cross upon which His Son Jesus Christ died.

Forgiveness of Sins and Eternal Life are a Free Gift

My dear friend, what if I were to offer you a brand new acoustic guitar as a free gift, in exchange for washing my car? You'd say, “Wait a minute, how can it be a “free gift” if I have to wash your car to get it?” It wouldn't be a free gift, would it? Of course it wouldn't!!! That would be ridiculous. Yet, that is exactly what the Devil teaches through many fake churches today, telling sinners that they must turn away from their sinful ways, submit their life to Christ's authority as Lord to live for Him, and change their heart and life to be saved. That is NOT a free gift, is it?



“For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
—Romans 6:23

We are saved solely by BELIEVING the Gospel (Good News) of the Lord Jesus Christ; not mere intellectual assent, but TRUST. Ephesians 1:12-13, “That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ. In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise.”

Repent And Believe The Gospel

Anyone who teaches salvation or bettering humanity without including the cross of Jesus Christ is teaching religious humanism. No one can be saved apart from the cross. Having faith in Jesus in not God's plan of salvation. Many people believe on Jesus, but they have left out the cross. To be born anew by the Spirit of God you must include the death, burial and resurrection of Christ Jesus. That is the Gospel according to 1st Corinthians 15:1-4.

Acts 20:21 states: “Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.” Repentance and faith are inseparable. Repentance is simply a change of mind that involves turning to Jesus Christ to be forgiven of one's sins. We repent of our unbelief, and from dead works of self-righteousness which cannot save (Hebrews 6:1). The words “believe” and “believeth” appear 85-times in the Gospel of John; but the word “repent” isn't mentioned even once. Obviously, the person who believes has repented. Repentance unto salvation does NOT mean a change of life; but rather, a change of mind. Repentance is a change of mind from thinking WRONG THOUGHTS to believing the Gospel.

Mark 1:15, “repent ye, and believe the gospel.” The object of repentance is to believe the Gospel, not to clean up one's life. When a man repents he believes. There is a popular false teaching in MOST churches today that says a person must try to stop sinning to be saved. That is self-righteousness. Why Did God Kill A Man For Picking Up Sticks On The Sabbath Day? (don't add to the Gospel).

Salvation happens when a person acknowledges their guilt of sin, and comes to God on the basis of being a hell-deserving sinner; believing on Jesus, the Christ, the Son of God, for forgiveness. Acts 10:43, “To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.”

Thanks bro! The beauty about truth is that it’s not a Christian or Muslim or Reglious thing it’s a spiritual thing. It applies to all regardless of race or religion. Stay bless!

IndustryEight:




You've made your point and your input is well appreciated, must you go around insulting the OP because your perspectives do not align? If you cannot recognize the importance of respecting people's perspectives, then your maturity still needs some maturity.

Yes brother! It’s essentially the same thing. The left brain represents the soul (logic, intellect, ego,etc). Right brain represents the Spirit (creativity, empathy, etc).

IndustryEight:
Something really striking here sir, I really love this.... I also see this whole marriage thing as the Uniting of the Physical man with his sentient self. The left brain AKA reptilian mental psyche, also shows the male power of logic calculation, ration and reasoning. Versus the right brain, seen as the female part of ourselves in charge of creativity, love, emotions. And spirituality. Yin and yang. I do not support marriage to say the least. This religious dogma and tenet established to control humans is a freaking nightmare!. Bless your spirit broda.

That’s the problem with some Christians no reasonable, sensible discussion or argument with scripture, just insult! You are a joke to me! You are blinded by darkness thinking you’ve seen the Light. You ain’t fooling me or the Most High. You read my posts and heap insults w/o backing it up with anything useful. Waste of space (waste man. Stop going around insulting people that don’t subscribe to Christianity or Jesus. You are a baby in your understanding. Stay away from my threads as my overstanding has far surpassed yours.

PROPHETmichael:


If marriage is "fraud", then why did Jesus partake in the "fraud" in Cana? Also, not only did attend, he performed a miracle there by turning water into wine thereby showing he endorsed the "fraud".

Your stupidity knows no boundary.

Spits on the thread and walk away >>>>>

Did you read my post on Adam and Eve?
Perhaps you are mistaken by my meaning, the Most High instructed us to be fruitful and multiply. So obviously we can procreate and have a partner..
But marriage in its original meaning is the union of the bride/Man/Woman/Soul/Eve with the bridegroom/Spirit/Consciousness/Adam. Our Souls union with its source/creator: The Most High

ophy:


John 2:1-11
Matthew 25:1-46

Which means Fornication has nothing to do with sex before marriage. Fornication is a fruit of the Soul. Hence, fornicating with idols: Religion, Pastors, Foreign Gods., etc..Fornicating with the things of this World

If you’ve read my post on: understanding Adam and Eve, then you should overstand that marriage in the bible refers to the marriage or joining together or union of the Spirit and Soul.

The two are to become one Mind within the body.

Marriage as we understand it today is a legal contract (involving the State and Church) between a man and woman. With the man selling his Labour in exchange for ownership of his wife and children. Marriage is now about diamond rings and weddings which have nothing to do with the biblical context of marriage.

If Christ is our role model and wasn’t married in the way we understand marriage, why do Christians and people in general push marriage?

Christ came to show us how to unite the Soul and Spirit so we can become One with God. Hence, My father and I are one, meaning my Soul and Spirit are one (with the Spirit being the Godhead)

because such is the upside down nature of the World we live in.

The truth is God and his angels are Negro.
But an angel in its ‘fallen state’ is white/pale/lepros looking.

So in actual fact both good and bad are Black!

Of course it does I typed it!
What people have is understanding, what y’all need is overstanding
What’s the diff btw The Earth and the World?
What’s the diff btw Man and Mankind?
What’s the diff btw Soul and Spirit?

Does this makes sense to you

Here are passages proving not everyone is meant to get it:

John 14:
16And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; 17Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

2 Thessalonians 2:
7For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.

10And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: 12That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

All this scriptures you quoted does not explain your Adam and Eve story at all...

Same God? God is not of confusion. That’s Satans work. Satan is the God of this World. He’s the one that loves the World. The Most High created Heaven and Earth, not the World. The Most High said we should not conform to this World. How can Christians ignore such biblical contradictions as these? Una no understand scripture because of all your yeye Pastors leading you astray

orisa37:
Same God, same World and same us.

Romans 12: 2And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God

This is in direct conflict with John 3:16..For God so loved the World.

So one God loves the World and the other said we should not conform to the World

You decide which God loves the World..

orisa37:
Blessed are The Pure in Heart for they shall see God. They didn't see God coming when they disobeyed His Instruction.
Blessed are The Poor in Spirit for they shall be called sons and daughters of God. For God so love The World that He gave His Son Jesus, a Character to adopt to become adopted Sons and Daughters of God.

Mark 10:
6But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. 7For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; 8And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh. 9What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.
