What a powerful statement! I began to consider the subject of faith again in my Christian walk with God and found this scripture to be so inspiring. If I am crucified with Christ and yet, I live. I don't just live but I live by the faith of the Son of God who loved me and gave himself for me. My goodness! What in the world is this faith of the Son of God? How does it work? What is it all about? As I continued to press into the mirror of the word, I found out that the faith of the Son of God is the faith that supercedes the faith of all the faith examples in the Old Testament put together.

The OT faith examples are all listed in the book of Hebrews chapter 11 but I will try add colour to each by defining the kinds of faith listed in Hebrews 11, there are numerous kinds of faith listed therein.

Today, I stand and salute one of the God's general of our days. A preacher of righteousness. A teacher of the word without of greed. A man of integrity who I had drawn so much from his ministry and calling. God bless and keep you for this generation. Happy Birthday sir. Long live your heritage in Christ Jesus.

Snowwy,

Sure a long time. Sure you are good.

Very true to the fact you advocate the continuous practice of the law. I don't always like dwelling in much argument with you most time. One good thing about scripture is you can quote to establish a certain truth which am sure you know. When I quoted the "Gentiles who do not have the law" is to confirm the fact and truth that Gentiles Christians were NEVER under the law. Gentiles was included into God's redemption plan after calvary. So the Gentile Christian were NEVER under the law of Moses as it. Also, when the bible says these Gentiles who do not have the law do by nature what is in the law is the truth of doing things though in the law but by natural instinct. The law had ended my brother, we are no more under law but under Grace.

dare2think: Been around dude, watching our [size=20pt]resident charlatans[/size] defending [size=20pt]their chief- charlatans[/size] in the lord! Pathetic people.

First, @ uhonmora, thank you so much for the video. I guess the video just made it to YouTube in few days. Thank for posting the video. God bless you.

Here comes the landmark video on YouTube for those saying if Robertson had made such "false" prophesy, it would have been all over the internet. Here you have it. Again, I repeat these/this false prophets are giving Christians/Christianity a bad name.

From the 9:44 - 20:00 minute of the video.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOFhrb4xMfQ?version=3&hl=en

To confirm the falsehood of such prophesy, Robertson even said "Romney will have a 2nd term re-election after wining the general election" Someone who have NOT won the first general election winning re-election for a second term This is absolute falsehood

A woman would be much better off if she could distinguish the difference between a man that flatters her and a man that compliments her; a man that spends money on her just to have her in bed as often as he wants and a man that invests in her; a man that views her as property and a man that views her properly; a man that lusts after her and a man that loves her; a man that believes he is God's gift to women & a man that remembers a woman is God's gift to man. Ladies should be taught to know their self worth - God doesn't make junks, He makes jewels!

@ Topic and Ijawkid,

Your quotes are so true

New International Version (©1984)
For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs. But you, man of God, flee from all this, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness. 1 Timothy 6:10-11

Whoever is called a "man of God" and yet loves money is NOT fit to bear God with "his" "man of God" title. Such should be called "man of money" (MoM) rather than man of God (MoG). So clear from the scriptures. Before you start to criticize me that am being/too judgmental (because when we speak the truth this days, some quickly say we are judging other), please note I didn't invent the above scriptures by myself....the Holy Spirit did through Apostle Paul.

@ Topic,

Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral. - Hebrews 13:4

Pastor Kun: Even if the law was not abolished we as gentile christians have no business keeping it as the law was addressed strictly to the ancient Israelites and the Apostles made it crystal clear in the first church council(Acts 15) that THE LAW was not a part of the christian doctrine.

In addition, the Gentile Christians (where we belong) were NEVER under the law in the first place. If I wasn't under the law in the first place or from the beginning, why teach me/us NOW to obey the law or be under the law?

GOD'S WORD® Translation (©1995)
For example, whenever non-Jews who don't have laws from God do by nature the things that Moses' Teachings contain, they are a law to themselves even though they don't have any laws from God. - Romans 2:14

New International Version (©1984)
(Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature things required by the law, they are a law for themselves, even though they do not have the law,

New Living Translation (©2007)
Even Gentiles, who do not have God's written law, show that they know his law when they instinctively obey it, even without having heard it.

The Bible is written to three (3) different groups but mainly two (2), namely:

1. The Jews
2. The Gentiles
3. The Church (made up of both Jews and Gentiles).

It was ONLY the Jews the law was written to. Even to the Jews who have the law, the law had come to and End - Glory to God!

God2man: Unfulfilled prophecies abound in the Bible, God told hezekiah that he will die, but hezekiah prayed and wept before the Lord for a reversal and the same God gave him 15 more years. The truth is the manifestation of divine prophecies are not automatic, atimes, it takes time, at other time, the reverse may be the case. They are all subject to the various factors. In my own opinion, i mean the US election, there was a possibilty for Romney to emerge as the winner of the election. Unfortunately, something mysterious happened along the line that changed the movement, probably due to his own fault or due to the disruption caused by the hurricane sandy that created an obstacle for his last campaign to hold. Only God can unravel the mysteries.

God bless you all.
God2man.

This is the most annoying part of your post my brother. Are you telling the whole world that the same God that told Robertson that Romney will emerge as the winner of the U.S Presidential election doesn't even know there will be huricane? Besides, the most affected states in the hurricane is New York and New Jersey. You seems not to understand the gravity of the "falsehood". Also, there was another video that the same Robertson made the proclamation in January 2012 only for him to be more specific in October.

Again, you compared this event of election to that of King Hezekiah. I laugh you in tongues..... . In the case of Hezekiah, the same God who sent Isaiah and reverted the death after Hezekiah prayed. You seems not to have a picture of how the palace of king Hezekiah was in those days. The palace then was so big to the extent that BEFORE Isaiah could step out of the main gate after the prophesy to the king, the same God told Isaiah to go back. My brother, you need to stop making this whole thing look like we that are against falsehood are the bad one when in the real sense, it is the bible that says when a prophet speaks and it doesn't come to past, such is a false prophet and we have the right to call them false also. Like I said earlier, "Thus saith the Lord" is nowhere in the New Testament because the "Thus saith the Lord" is already fulfilled in Christ.

@ Snowwy,

Context is one of the key to understanding the subject of law especially when it relates to Grace. For instance, when scriptures say, "For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ" - John 1:17. This verse didn't differentiate what kind of law it is, it was taken as a whole because the whole package of law was given by Moses. Also, when it says, "For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone that believes" - Romans 10:4.

If Christ or the manifestation of Christ IS THE END of the law, simply means the law had ended. If you are trying to teach Christians back to continue to obey the law (of Moses), I think you should start with the example of some hard laws in the Torah and I can give you some examples of some laws to keep. Also remember, if you break one of those laws, you are guilty of all.

@ okeyxyz,

When the bible talks of "fornication" to the NT believers, it is not "according to the law". This is because when it says we are no longer under the law but under Grace does not give us license to continue to sin or to live immorally.

@ Topic,

Interesting.

Okeyxyz,

I think I will answer some of your question(s), allow me few more hours.

God2man,

I will respond to you in details when I wake up.....say in 3-4 hours from now. Expect my reply to you in details, line by line. Okay.

God2man: Let's take it easy on these men of God because we were not there when God called them. They make mistakes. Yes, of course, you don't expect them to be 100 percent perfect, if you do, then you will be making serious mistakes. The Bible says: looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith. Most importantly, men of God need our prayers more than labelling them a false prophet which they are not.

Those men of God could be right, let's be objective in whatever we are saying. Let's take it easy.

Calling them a false prophet is too degrading. What do we gain? Nothing. Does it edify anybody? No. Then whyy are we criticizing them. I read two different books by two different men of God, one gave a not too good historical background of a man of God, the other one countered the statement. Now, is it good for me to come to the internet and start calling them liars? No! If i do that, it shows that i am not mature, i consider their imperfection as normal thing to be expected from a man made with clay.

Whenever we are criticizing men of God on this forum, let's try to examine ourselves first before criticizing them. As i always say on this forum, what goes round comes around.

God bless you all.
God2man.

ijawkid: Who you wan kiss ??......

Yes, ...because I simply want to start obeying the scripture in this area.....Holy kiss(es) ain't bad you know.

Pastor Kun: Wow This logicboy must be a professional stallker, i can't imagine how much time and energy you put in to your research before you wrote your dessertation on Jesoul.

Abi naw, iku to n p'ojugba eni, owe lo n pa f'eni o....na make the rest of us dey be careful because logicboy go compile something on us too someday, in the future..... ....okay, make I no talk again....

^^^
Abeg no start this kind thing here o. Joagbaje will quickly remind you that the tithe that is being "taught" today in the church is "BEFORE" the law. However, in truth the tithe being "practiced" is "according to the law" because they will tell you the "storehouse" is the church where you worship and being fed with the word so you must bring your tithe else the devourer will do its job.

So the question is where is the tithe given or taken to the "storehouse" BEFORE the law if NOT according to the law .....and yet the law has been abolished according to the title of this thread. Can you see deception, manipulation and contradiction Joagbaje will also tell you it's the same "principles"......
