Your point is, Jesus Christ asking a man to watch his eyes became wrong after the ressurection?
Or that because Paul and Peter did not do it, it is wrong what really is your piont.
Are we following the examples of Paul and Peter or Christ examples
When Jesus was on earth he was not about living the Jewish life. He was about living the perfect example for us to follow.
He went about doing his father's will not doing the Jewish custom.
Please let us not second guess Christ's earthly life. He did not come to live like a jew but to be the son of God
dude go and read/study Romans13
Christ upheld all the laws in His time.
that's the only reason He was even qualified to dead for us.
you don't break an established law of a community because you want to preach the gospel. your preaching will only end in tears.
Christianity EtcRe: Why Was Mary Chosen To Birth Jesus Christ? by ichuka(m): 11:47pm On Dec 27, 2020

Hi,

We usually make a significant error when the word “sinner” is only seen from only one perspective. I’d like to use the Cross of Calvary as the reference point: all are counted as sinners before coming to the Cross; but after the Cross, one is no longer tagged a sinner but a righteous one. No sinner has his disposition towards the gospel; but after they believe, their faith is accounted for as righteousness.

When I said Mary wasn’t a sinner, I used it in respect to her disposition- she believed in God’s gospel and it was accounted to her as righteousness.
she believe and it was counted to her as righteousness? where is it written in the bible,do you even know the meaning of righteousness?

Christianity EtcRe: Why Was Mary Chosen To Birth Jesus Christ? by ichuka(m): 12:31pm On Dec 27, 2020
Acehart:
Mary, the blessed.



In the reading of many journal papers, one thing common to all of them is the use of the term “keywords”. The term is used to draw the reader’s attention to the focus or essence of the paper. They are important words or concepts found in one’s research question. Keywords make one’s paper searchable. Therefore, it is important to include the most relevant keywords that will help other authors or researchers find your paper.

Keywords are always listed after the abstract of a journal paper or thesis, the first section the paper as they are drawn from the abstract.

Matthew chapter 1 has all the resemblance of an abstract: it begins with a context or background information. At the heart of an abstract is the main reason(s), the exigency, the rationale behind the research; here, the goal of this book is to tell many that Jesus Christ is the Messiah King. The main argument is the birthing of the Messiah by a virgin, a reference to a previous work done by Isaiah (Isa.7:14).

The keywords one can extract from the abstract includes (not limited to): Messiah, Conceive, Holy Spirit, Sins, Son, Virgin, and favor (from Luke 1:28).

We were told that Mary, the virgin mother, was favored. The word “favor“, charitoō (in Greek), means: specially honor due to one’s character, manner or act as a result of divine influence upon the heart, and its reflection in one’s life. It is a mouthful; in simple terms, Mary was not a sinner; her manner of life was pleasing to God. The angel said to her: “Blessed are you among women”; Mary was the most righteous among all women that walked on the face of the earth.

The word “favor” was first used in the Book of Genesis to describe God’s mercy towards Noah. Like Mary, Noah was the only righteous person of all men and women that walked on the face of the earth. He was described as a preacher of righteousness (2 Peter 2:5). Before one preaches about God’s act, we know that someone preached to them to believe in God (Romans 10:14); In the times of Noah, Methuselah was the preacher.

Methuselah, a name meaning “when he dies, it shall be sent”. We do know now that in the year he died, the great flood was sent. Methuselah's name may be a prophecy that on the day of his death "his death will send" the flood. For a better part of one thousand years, one man preached that it would rain on an earth covered by mist; no one believed except Noah. Thereafter, his life was pleasing to God and he was favored with the ark - a type of Christ.

It is the believing of a preposterous message that endeared Noah and Mary to God. The scripture says: without faith (in the word of God) it is impossible to please God and be satisfactory to Him (Heb. 11:6). Mary believed God’s word, perhaps in the reading of the prophetic texts at the Jerusalem temple, that a virgin would conceive a child - her being the virgin. She believed and it was accounted to her as righteousness (in conformity to God’s will in her thoughts and acts).

Today, the preposterous message to us is this: God came down to earth (through the womb of a virgin), died on a tree for men‘s sin, was buried in a tomb and resurrected three days later. We must believe this message to be favored by God. God will not favor a sinner because He would not give that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast His pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet.


Merry Christmas everybody,

Acehart

Christianity EtcWhat Are You Building? by ichuka(op): 11:06am On Dec 27, 2020
Each person must be careful how he builds. (1 Corinthians 3:10 GW)

In other words, that which is of supreme importance is not Christian doctrine, mentally appraised and apprehended, but a living and clear spiritual apprehension of Christ. That is the work. What are you building? Are you, through a living, clear, inward, experimental relationship with the Lord Jesus, building a structure which comes out of that inward spiritual knowledge? Is it by that you are growing? Or are you growing by things said and mentally judged, appraised, dissected, accepted, and assented to? What is the nature of the building? The work in which we are engaged, to which this phrase “each man’s work” applies, is the building of Christ livingly into the very substance of our being, into the very fabric of our lives. It is not a question of getting to know a great deal about Christianity. Let us note that. The heart of the whole matter is the difference between the philosophy of Christianity, of Christian doctrine and the spiritual knowledge of Christ.

The Lord would teach us – and this is the lesson that my heart is bent upon learning, and that I would urge upon you to make your quest also – that the ground of assurance is not in our having decided for Christ, nor that we persist in the Christian life, nor that we feel strong, nor that we have certain ability as Christians and are able to do this or that. It is not the measure of our activity in the work of the Lord, nor any one of these things which constitutes our Christian life. These are simply the outworkings. The thing which constitutes us is that Christ is the foundation, and that we are inseparably linked with Him by faith. Everything else can be suspended as a secondary consideration until that is settled. It is as though God, if we may put it this way to try to simplify the truth, had given us His Son and had said to us: "In Him you have everything, and the first thing is not what you are, what you can do, or anything to do with you; it is what He is!" If only in the face of all you may see of a multitude of contradictions in your own life in weaknesses, and imperfections, and lack of attainment, you will persistently believe in Him as having it in Himself to bring you through to the end, you will go through in spite of all. We begin to take stock of ourselves, measure ourselves up, and say: "I am not this, and I am not that, and I am not something else; or else, I am this, and I am that, and all this goes against me." Nothing of all this is to the point at all. The totality of every divine requirement in us is in Christ.

Preciousgirl:
Mark 16:20

And they went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word through the accompanying signs. Amen.

Is the Lord working with you/your 'church' ? Is the Lord confirming the word in your 'church' with accompanying signs?

Don't say, the Devil counterfeits the signs so The Lord has quit confirming His word.

You must witness signs and wonders if indeed the Lord is in You and Working with you.
The Church isn't a building or meeting place,but the Spirit of God in every Christian.

dude call it whatever you want office/ministry
that doesn't change the fact on ground. that a true prophet of God has no secular office. his ministry/office is who hes. you aren't schooled to become a prophet of God a normal Christian,a pastor or an evangelist can prophesy that doesn't make them a prophet of God.

The "concept of God's Salvation" is very simple. Believe in Jesus Christ and you will never perish in the grave but instead, you will have eternal life which you can choose to spend in Heaven or in Hell, depending on what you do next.
It is really that simple. Salvation, as you can see, only guarantees that you will never perish in the grave when you die i.e. your mind, body and soul will not return to the dust from which it was made when you die. You will instead live on eternally i.e. there is a hope of an afterlife for you which you did not previously have.
OK dude

Hi bro
you are right in most of what you wrote,but,Prophetic Ministry has nothing to do with an office. its not an office one walks in and out whenever he/she pleases but "its who you are" its either you are born into it or not.you can't fast n pray to become a prophet tommorow not possible.
within the five fold ministry I believe the prophet is the hardest in our time.most of what we see and hear today that calls themselves prophets are clowns.
to become a prophet the Word of God you receive must become your flesh.which isn't a child's play.
a good example is the life of Moses in the Bible.most
true prophets in Nigeria are even scared of there call.

All men past and present from Adam? Adam was the first - Mankind started with him.
:-/ How was Jesus Christ Justified again?
Are all men past and present were justified? That is in no way similar with the Adam issue since it was all men AFTER Adam - since there were none before him -- that were cursed as a result of his, Adam's transgression.
Also, Jesus Christ never stated that His offer of salvation applied to all those who were before Him... but He did state that it applied to those who believed in Him- that he was clear on.


What Paul offered the Hebrew believers were more a twist on the actual Abraham-Melchisedec story in order to get them to stop living by Old Covenant rules while subscribed to the New Covenant that is Jesus Christ. What he, Paul, offered them was not proof but simply a story to help ease them into letting go of the Old and adhering instead to the New.
To anyone who has carefully studied each of the stories involved, it is more than clear that what Paul tried to weave was not in fact the truth, as recorded in the Book of Genesis, not even as recorded in the Book of Jasher.
All mankind was born from the loins of Adam -- that better explains the reason why sin was able to enter into the world through Adam, to infect every one of His descendants.
As for Jesus Christ, I don't seem to understand what you mean by "Christ was judged". If you refer to the pouring out of His blood for the forgiveness of our sins, then, as the "Passover Lamb", I would not say He was indeed judged, just chosen to be the "lamb" to die for all.
dude you need to be born again/accept Christ to comprehend His word in the Bible

Kobojunkie:
It is 2020! Do you still believe that stuff you posted up there back in 2011 still holds as far as God is concerned? I hope not. undecided
To be saved - Salvation from the condemnation of sin that is death(return to the dust from which you were made - mind, body and soul) - you only need to believe and accept the person of Jesus Christ.
But according to Jesus Christ, in order to become Born again, what needs to die is not the flesh but you-- your self - ego, reputation, life, attachments, your desires, your wants -- they all need to die, be brought under complete submission to God.
dude if you are a believer you will understand the concept of Gods Salvation

Anything organise, outside the will of the Father, without the inclusivity of the Father is prone to abuse

"And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food,
and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise
,
she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat
"
- Genesis 3:6

Self-centeredness, the idea, thought, mind of thinking only about yourself and not about the needs of God and/or feelings of other people, in us has to die before God can manifest fully.

Whichever way back in the garden, we actually, were supposed to die there and then. Supposed die to self, but not die to self in the way or manner Adam and Eve died to self, because one does not, at the expense of giving offence to God, desire to make one wise (i.e. make ''I " wise) die to self in that way, lmso.

God is a systematic God. He does things in order. He buys into organisation for particular purposes. Creation was done in an organised fashion.

Christianity is not a God creation, but is an Antioch and/or Constantine creation. Organised christianity is an improvement on Antioch and/or Constantine christianity to further mentally enslaved the unsuspecting and ignorant of the many wiles of the devil to ensnare and hold captives prisoners for death row
