plappville: Exodus 35:2 Six days work shall be done, but on the seventh day you shall have a Sabbath of solemn rest, holy to the Lord. Whoever does any work on it shall be put to death.

Tell that to your God, God i have come to know that, Everyday is my Sabbath, not just the 7th day as you initially said.

Who is the Lord of the Sabbath?
Was the Sabbath made for man or man for the Sabbath?

Jesus Christ is the same YESTERDAY,and TODAY and FOREVER...Heb13:8.
He is our Sabbath Yesterday,Today,and Forever.and not a particular day in a week

Does you church break bread day by day or even meet day by day.

My point is everyday is a Sabbath in the live of a Christain.
We should break out from the shackles of organised system in Christendom.
Heb3:13, says "TODAY" not a specific day in the week but "TODAY".

DAY by DAY continuing with one mind in the temple,and breaking bread from House to House,they were taking their meals together with gladness and sincerity of heart,praising God and having favour with all the people.and the Lord was adding to their number Day by Day those who were being saved...Acts2:46-47.
But encourage one another Day after Day,as long as it is still called "TODAY"so that none of you will be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin..Heb3:13.
He again fixes a certain day,"TODAY" saying through David after so long a time just as has been said before"TODAY IF YOU HEAR HIS VOICE,DO NOT HARDEN YOUR HEART"....Heb4:7.
We(Christains) had relegated Church meetings to the Jewish form of worship.whereas in the above verses their meetings were Day by Day not only on satuday's or Sunday's but Day after Day.

[quote author=Networkmaster]I HAVE SOME SPECIFIC QUESTIONS FOR YOU. AND PLS BE HONEST WITH ME. For how long have you worked and received salary?

Fine. Now i want you to do something if you haven't. It is to SECURE YOU FUTURE. Pls, find time to go to you Dad and Buy something that will please him and kneel down before him, and tell him to bless you. It is very important. He is your father through whom God brought you into the world. And please do the same for your Mum. Now, what i am telling you is serious. Consciously do it and kneel b/4 them and receive their blessings. Will that be too much for you to do? They will break whatever curse or curses around your life and whatever they speak to your life shall come to pass.

Incase they don't know what to do, tell them how to do it. It is very important. And serious. Am happy you promised end of the month. Am Glad. This issue came to me during my meditation period. And if i don't tell you it is not good. I will always give you advice as my own son. Look, whatever, you spend for your parents is nothing. Becos you don't have a duplicate.

God cannot bless anyone apart from his/her *FAMILY TREE*
even our Lord Jesus Christ had to come through the lineage of David to be a blessing to us.

Boomark: Na wa o. Read 1TIM2:5. Start now to read ur bible. Most people like you that share the same belief are beginning to see the truth. Learn the truth from the bible bro not from any human.

"........Until the Seed would come to whom the promise had been made.
Now a mediator is not for one party only,whereas God is "ONE"....Gal3:19-20"
A mediator serves as a witness between two parties in the aspect of the Law,but in making the "Promise" its says in the above verse that "GOD is ONE". there's no mention of man's side,only God's side.
That is party A(God) has taken the side of party B(man).
I believe verse20 of Galatian3 would shade more light in the aspect of God,Christ and man in the verse your quoted above.
And also add 1tim2:6 while you do your study.
We will discuss them later.

Boomark: If our Lord Jesus is God Himself,
Who was He praying to?
Why is He a mediator between man and God?
Who did He call His Father and God?
Who raised Him from death?
What did John 3 verse 16 say?
He is sitting down at the right hand of the Father in heaven, i hope u know?

Its obvious you don't read the bible well. Google the questions above and locate the chapters where they are in the bible and read them well. I want you to do it your self so you will know they are in the bible.

So our Lord Jesus Christ was in the garden of Eden with God and Adam in Genesis2,He is also with Abraham when God made a covenant with him abi?
Bro,between man and God there was never a third party.
It was the first party(God) that took the place of the second party(man) in the aspect of Salvation.
Because the first party is immortal He has to become a man inorder for Him to be able to die in place of man.

Ihedinobi: Couldn't put it better myself, bro. May His Grace be multiplied to you.

Amen bro,and may His Grace and Mercy never depart from your life.

You know the Prophet Isaiah has been prophesying for years in Isaiah chapter 1-5,but at the begining of chapter 6,something happened and his "EYEs" was opened,and his message changed.
I believe by His Grace there eyes will be opened.

Boomark: Chuka, you failed in your explanations of Matt22:29. Read it again and understand it. You will see where you made a little mistake. I see you have the zeal but you have to drop every thought you have for or against trinity and start learning with a free spirit. Compare the scriptures from those supporting trinity and the ones from those that are not in support. You will learn great things from your study.

Am not for or against trinity.my point is that our Lord Jesus is God Himself.
The Bible from genesis to revelation has only one Person in view and it(the Bible) Delivers Christ to us and not just merely messages.

frosbel: It is obvious you do not read your bible !

In the book Matt2:1-6,we recall that one day some people arrive at Jerusalem and inquired everywhere:"where is HE that is born KING of the Jews?"Herod heard of it and was troubled.he called in the chief priests and the scribes of the people to inquire of them where the Christ was to be born.when the priests and the scribes heard this question,they quickly recited by memory the prophet and replied."in Bethlehem of Judea"This reveals how good their Scripture knowledge was.but the surprising thing after they have answered is that none of them journeyed toward Bethlehem.what they "Knew" was most accurate,nevertheless they only told the magi from the East to go to Bethlehem.they were like the traffic policeman who directs people to where they wish to travel though he himself stays put at the post.although their knowledge was excellent,they themselves did not go and seek the Messiah.these magi might have learned from the writings of Daniel that there would be one born to be the King of the Jews, and hence they traveled a great distance to find our Lord.
Hmm,is it not strange that those who had little knowledge of the Scriptures sought earnestly the King of the Jews,whereas those having great knowledge of the Scriptures sought Him not??
May point is you may know the scriptures perfectly well,but have no knowledge of who the scripture is talking about.
No offence oo.

frosbel: Go read your bible , the answers are there.

And Jesus answered them saying YOU ERR,NOT KNOWING THE SCRIPTURES,NOR THE POWER OF GOD..Matt22:29.
Hmmm,very interesting verse.meaning one might know the scripture perfectly well,but have no knowledge of the "Power of God"
and believe me having the knowledge of the Power of God is just the begining of the Life of a Christain.
Without the knowledge of His Power the Bible is very close to those that reads it.
So my friend,do seek more of His Power before opening any thread related to His will and purpose.

frosbel: He was begotten of the Father through his Spirit.

In other words he is the messiah and God's anointed one !!

So to you,God begot a Son apart from Himself to save and redeem you from the penalty of death.is that what you are saying?

frosbel: The SON of GOD.

hmmm,very interesting,He is the Son of God to you.what does that mean if i may ask?

frosbel: And this is how you represent Christ !

On a more serious note,who is Christ to you?

@Bookmark
The Bible is not one of your psychological text books.its either you grasp the concept of Life in it or you are totally as blind as a bat to the issue of Life it expresses.

frosbel: you are grossly deceived.

stick to the bible.

what are the conditions for salvation in the BIBLE not the gospel according to i.chuka

Concerning the Ethopian Eunuch , Philipp says :

New American Standard Bible (©1995)
"If you believe with all your heart, you may." And he answered and said, "I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God."

Notice here, Son of God , not God or God the Son.


Acts 5:42 Day after day, in the temple courts and from house to house, they never stopped teaching and proclaiming the good news that Jesus is the Christ.

Here the apostles proclaimed Jesus as the Christ , the anointed one of GOD not GOD


That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. - Romans 10:9

Note this verse says that Jesus is LORD not GOD and even goes further to say that GOD Almighty raised Jesus from the dead.

Obviously we can deduct from this one statement that God could not have raised GOD from the dead because God is immortal and therefore cannot die , only MAN is mortal and subject to death, hence Jesus was a MAN and not GOD.


To conclude , let us mention the story of a Jailer in the early church that was desperate for salvation after he saw the miracle that God had performed for Paul and Silas in prison.

"29 Then he called for a light, ran in, and fell down trembling before Paul and Silas. 30 And he brought them out and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”

31 So they said, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household" - Acts 16:29-31


Consider Paul's words carefully.

He did not say , if you believe Jesus is GOD you will be saved, he said LORD.

I rest my case.


Just to help you , to get salvation , you need to repent from your sins, believe and confess that Jesus is LORD and be baptized.

Praise GOD.

Dude,if Jesus was the third party,He would not have qualified to die for us.

plappville: Do u mean u kept blind eyes of thoses verses? I didn't say it, the bible says it. Jesus told us he was Sent by God. do you mean He lied? or what does it means to be sent, someone sent him, He did not or cannot send himself. get it!!

The concept of Salvation involves two parties only,God and man.so its either our Lord Jesus Christ is God or He is merely a man.
So the choice is yours to chose who He is in your life.

plappville: Exodus 20:3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Pack declears that God plainly commands the rejection of the trinity in this verse.

Deuteronomy 6:4 Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD: He also made reference to this verse that completely condermn the trinity. God is one not 3 in one.

"Isaiah 44:6 Beside me there is no God" One "GOD" firmly, not one "BEIGN"

Jesus again talking about Him been sent by God. John 5:37 And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape. We have never and cannot see God shape. Yet people believe God came to earth, thay confirm they have SEEN GOD.

John 1:18 No one has ever seen God. God's only Son, the one who is closest to the Father's heart, has made him known.

I strongly advise trinitarians to view this video from part 1 -6.

If your acsertation is that our Lord Jesus Christ is not God,then Salvation itself is the biggest fraud of alltime!!

The function of the Law is to fullfill the promise given to Abraham,the end is Grace,and the means is the Law.the Law must be used to bring people into Grace.

Hmmm,interesting topic.
My take is,in the so called Christain countries,Catholics have brought in the judiastic teachings.in Judaism,there was the priestly class.the priest acted as an intermediary class.if a Jew wanted to see God,he had to pass through the hand of the priests;there was no way for him to go directly to God.
The question now is what is Judaism? Its being kept away from worshipping God in a direct way.between God and man,there was the need of priests to serve as a intermediary class.the Israelites had to go through the priest before they could see God.the same is true with Catholicism.God is on one side,and man is on the other side.there is no direct fellowship between them,and the priests serve as a medium in the middle.in the Catholic Church,every time there is mass the priests are there.everytime there's a preaching the priests are responsible for it,and everytime there is prayer offered,the priests are the ones to do the work.in this way,men are brought back to the situation of the Old Testament.
Protestantism is divided into state churches and private churches.the Anglicanan Church in England serves as an example of state churches.in the Anglican Church,there are the clergy and the laity.the bishops,archbishop, and deacons are all called priests,just as they are in Catholicism.this has likewise brought in Judaism.God is on the top,and the people, who are called the laity,are on the bottom.in the middle are the clergy,who call themselves priests.the laity can come to God only through this class of people,who monopolize all spiritual matters.
Among private churches in Protestantism,there is also the intermediary class.God is on top,and the members are on the bottom.in between the two there are pastors.the pastors are the intermediary class,who replace the believers and monopolize all the spiritual matters that belong to the members.for example,administering the Holy Communion,baptism,and preaching are all done by pastors.they do everything for the members and become intermediaries between God and man.
From Judaism until today,including all the denominations in Protestantism,God has always been on the top and man has been down on the bottom,with an intermediary class in between.ALTHOUGH THE NAMES MAY HAVE CHANGED,NOTHING HAS CHANGED IN SUBSTANCE.
Peter said that we are a royal priesthood..1Pet2:9.in Rev1:6 John also said that every Christain is a priesttherefore,,there is no need for any man to be a medium between us and God.in other words,we are all "pastors" and "priests".

DANGEROUS DAINTIES

Arthur W. Pink (1886-1952)

"When you sit to eat with a ruler, consider diligently what is before you" (Proverb_23:1). We suppose that this verse has little or no voice for many of our readers, inasmuch as there is scarcely any likelihood they will ever be invited to dine with the President of the United States or the King of Great Britain. Alas that such a thought should find place in any Christian's mind. Alas that the tendency to carnalize God's Word should now be so general. Alas that our spiritual interpreters of the Living Oracles have well-near vanished from the earth. Yet even though there be no anointed teacher available to open up the Scriptures, ought it not to be self-evident that the Holy Spirit would never have placed such a verse as this in the Word if it had no application unto the rank and file of God's people? And ought not that very consideration cause us to prayerfully seek for its hidden significance?

"When you sit to eat with a ruler, consider diligently what is before you." There are other "rulers" mentioned in Scripture beside civil ones. Do we not read of "rulers of the congregation" (Exo_16:22), the "ruler of the synagogue" (Luk_8:41), as well as the "rulers of the darkness of this world" (Eph_6:12)? Now, not all of the religious "rulers" in Christendom today have been appointed by God. No indeed, far from it. Personally the writer very much doubts if two out of each thousand of the preachers, ministers, and missionaries, the world over, have been Divinely called! Many of them are self-appointed, some of them sent out by men, most of them raised up by Satan. The attentive reader of the Old and New Testaments will find that the false prophets have, in every age, greatly outnumbered the true. It is for this reason that God commands us to "believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world" (1Jn_4:1). Thus the admonition given in Proverb_23:1 has always been a timely one for God's people to pay strict attention unto, and perhaps it was never more needful to give heed unto it than in the degenerate and apostate time in which our lot is cast.

The preaching we listen to, and in measure absorb, has precisely the same effect upon our souls, as does the food we eat have upon our bodies: if wholesome, it is nutritious; if injurious, it works harm. "When you sit to eat with a ruler, consider diligently what is before you." The tragic thing is that many of God's own children today are so unspiritual, and therefore so spiritually ignorant, that they know not how TO "consider diligently" what is set "before them." They know not what tests to apply, nor how to examine what they hear. So long as the preacher is "orthodox" and approved by those whom they consider "sound in the Faith," they think his message is alright. So long as the preacher holds to the "fundamentals" of the Faith, they suppose that he is a true servant of God. So long as the preacher sticks close to the letter of Scripture, they imagine their souls are being fed with the sincere milk of the Word. Alas for the credulity of such unwary souls.

Is the reader ready to ask, "But what other tests are we to apply?" Let us help you to answer your own question by asking another. What criterion do you apply to the material food you eat? Are you satisfied if it has been prepared and cooked according to the best culinary books? Of course not. The chief thing is, what effect does your food produce? Does it agree with or upset your digestive system? Does it promote or injure your health? We are agreed, are we not? Very good, now apply the same rule or test unto the spiritual— or, we should say, more correctly, the "religious"—food of which you are partaking; what effect is it having upon your character and conduct, what is it producing in your heart and life? But we must not stop there with a mere generalization. If souls are to be helped today, the servant of God must be precise, and enter into details. Ponder carefully these questions, dear reader.

Does the preaching you listen to come home to your heart in the power of the Holy Spirit? If not, what is the use of hearing it? Does the preaching you hear pierce you, search your conscience, condemn you, and make you cry, "O wretched man that I am"? Or does it add to your store of intellectual knowledge, minister to your delight, and make you feel self-satisfied? Do not treat these questions lightly, we beg you, or you are very likely to prove your own worst enemy. Face them fairly and squarely, as in the presence of God. "Consider diligently" what is set before you from the pulpit, for it must do one of two things: help or harm you. It either promotes humility, or feeds pride. It either stimulates to work out your own salvation "with fear and trembling," or it fosters carnal security and self-confidence. It either drives you to your knees, or it more and more lulls your spiritual sensibilities. It either makes you more conscientious and careful about all the details of your daily life, or more careless and callous. It either causes you to cry unto God day and night for Him to work in your heart a deeper and more constant hatred of evil, or (probably unconsciously) leads you to think more lightly of sin—excusing "little" failures, and consoling yourself with the thought that none of us reach perfection in this life; whereas God says, "Be holy in all manner of behavior" (1Peter_1:15).

"And put a knife to your throat, if you be a man given to appetite" (Proverb_23:2). This is strong language, is it not? Yes, and the subject calls for it. So very few realize the fearful consequences which follow from a disregard of that command of Christ's, "Take heed what you hear" (Mark_4:24). False doctrine has the same effect upon the soul as poison does upon the body. But Satan appeals to the pride of so many, and succeeds in making them believe they are immune, that they are so "well established in the Truth" that listening to error cannot injure them. Therefore does the Holy Spirit say, "Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners" (1Cor_15:33): not they may, but DO! Yes, even though you are quite unaware of it. "And put a knife to your throat, if you be a man given to appetite." This is plainly a word of warning for those who are consumed with curiosity to hear every new "evangelist" or "Bible-teacher" who comes to town; those who have an insatiable appetite to sample every religious "feast" that is spread in their community. That is what is meant by "a man given to appetite": one who craves to hear the latest pulpit or platform sensationalist.

To all such God says, Take yourself in hand, and use no half measures to check this dangerous tendency. It is at your imminent peril you disregard this Divine admonition. If you disobey, Satan will either slay you, or else drug and put you soundly to sleep. "Be not desirous of his dainties: for they are deceitful food" (Proverb_23:3). Yes, he has "dainties" to offer you: that is why so many are attracted to his table. These "dainties" are skillfully varied to meet different tastes. For "prophetic students" they are spicy items from the newspapers, served under the name of "signs of the times." But these are "deceitful food," for they leave the soul starved and barren: there is no spiritual nutriment in them! For the energetic young people, there is a pleasing presentation of "Christian service," calling upon them to engage in "work for the Lord": these too are "deceitful food," for they neither edify (build up) nor lead to a closer walking with Christ; instead, they take the eye off Christ, unto the "perishing multitudes": as though God were unable to save His own elect without our assistance! "Keep your heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life" (Proverb_4:23) is God's word unto you.

For others there is a regular exposition of "our doctrines" which are indeed "dainties" unto those of a theological turn of mind. "Yes, but 'our doctrines' are Scripture doctrines, and surely they cannot be 'deceitful food'!" Ah dear friend, Satan frequently transforms himself into "an angel of light"; he knows full well that no harm will be done unto his cause while doctrinal dissertations are addressed to the intellect, and the conscience is not searched. Unless there be a practical application made of each Scripture doctrine, the heart is not touched nor the soul humbled; instead, pride is fed and the head is merely stuffed with a theoretical knowledge of the Truth. Mark this well: doctrine divorced from experimental and practical preaching is highly injurious!

What the writer and reader most need is not "dainties," but "bitter herbs" (Exo_12: to purge us of pride, independency, self-love! We need to be fed "with the bread of tears" (Psalm 80:5) and "the water of affliction" (Isa_30:20). Only that ministry truly helps which causes us to mourn before God, which brings us into the dust, which makes us loathe ourselves. Perhaps some will reply, "I want a ministry where Christ is exalted." Good; but do you relish a ministry which gives you to see how un-Christlike you are in your ways, how little you are following the example which He has left us? A faithful and well-balanced ministry of "Christ" includes His teaching upon Discipleship, His claims and demands upon us, His precepts and warnings. Beware of flesh-pleasing "dainties," dear reader.

We pass over the intervening ones and come to verse 8 of Proverbs 23 (Proverb_23:, "The morsel which you have eaten shall you vomit up, and lose your sweet words." Yes, if you are really a child of God, this is what the Spirit will, sooner or later, work in you. He will yet make your heart nauseated with those flesh-pleasing "dainties" which you now so much relish; He will yet cause you to turn with disgust from that which the empty professors feed upon with such avidity. We speak from painful experience. Sheep cannot thrive on that which goats eat! If your preacher is admired and eulogized by white-washed worldlings, you may be certain that his ministry cannot help you. If large crowds enthusiastically hear him, it is a sure sign that he is not ministering the Word in the power of the Spirit!

In closing, let us point out that all we have said above about "considering diligently" what preaching you attend, applies with equal force to listening on to the radio! "Take heed what you hear": if it does not make your conscience more tender, it will make it more callous. The same applies to your reading. The great majority of the "orthodox" and "sound" magazines being printed today, can only harm you, for they contain nothing to make you weep before God, nothing to increase the "fear of the Lord" in your soul, nothing that will lead to an increasing mortifying of your members which are upon the earth. If you have proven this to be the case, then from now on shun them as you would a plague. "Cease from man!" (Isa_2:22) and feed upon the Word.

"Can a woman forget her nursing child and have no compassion on the son of her womb?Even these may forget,but I will not forget you..Isaiah49:15"

k2039: Mary was born under law and she observed the Law of Moses with regard to pregnancy and childbirth. But the Bible says that no one can become righteous in God’s sight by observing the law. In fact, the purpose of the law is to increase sin in man and show man his utter sinfulness, hopelessness and, hence, need for God’sgrace.
If Mary was born without sin and never sinned, it would mean that she perfectly obeyed the entire Law of Moses (the 10 Commandments and more than 360 ceremonial laws) in thought, word and deed, all of the time, and thus, achieved righteousness by the law!
The simple truth is just that if she achieved that,then we can as well conclude that Jesus wasted a lot of blood on the cross.If one person could achieve righteousness under the law then anybody should be able to,and their wont be a need for Jesus dying on the cross.
But looking at Luke1:47
“My soul doth magnify the Lord, and my spirit has rejoiced in God my Savior” (Luke 1:47). Observe that she referred to the Lord as “my Savior”—not merely “a Savior,” or “the Savior.”NO SINLESS PERSON NEEDS A SAVIOR.

Doubtless she was one of the noblest ladies ever to grace this planet; nevertheless, she was not without sin

I REST MY CASE

great post!!

okeyxyz: How is Father, Son & Holy_Spirit not trinity?? That's clearly three entities!!

Hmmm,my take is there's only one person/entity operating/manifesting in three distinctive forms/names.because our Lord Jesus Christ is the Father...And His name will be called..Eternal Father.. Ish9:6. Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me..John14:11).He(Jesus Christ) is also the Spirit..the last Adam became a life-giving spirit....1Cor15:45, But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ,he does not belong to Him.. Roms8:9b)

frosbel: [/quote][quote author=frosbel]

@FROSBEL
you might be right about the verse i quoted(1John5:7)earlier,but it doesnt change the fact that the Holy Spirit is a person.

For there are three that bear witness in heaven,the Father,the Word,and the Holy Spirit,and these three are one..1John5:7.
How can the Holy Spirit bear witness if He's not a "Person"??

@Frosbel
Great work!!

chukwudi44: 

St. Ephraem the Syrian (ca. A.D. 350):

"Then Peter deservedly received the Vicariate of Christ over His people."

(Ephraem, Sermon de Martyrio. SS. App. Petri et Pauli)

[As if spoken by Jesus:] "Simon my follower, I have made you the foundation of My holy Church. I betimes called you Peter, because you will support all its buildings. You are the inspector of all who will build on earth a Church for Me. If they should wish to build what is false, you, the foundation, will condemn them.

You are the head of the fountain from which My teaching flows, you are the chief of My disciples. Through you I will give drink to all peoples. Yours is the life-giving sweetness which I dispense. I have chosen you to be, as it were, the first-born in My institution, and so that, as the heir, you may be the executor of all My treasures. I have given you the keys of My Kingdom. Behold, I have given you authority over all My treasures!

"To whom, O Lord, didst Thou entrust that most precious pledge of the heavenly keys? To Bar Jonas, the Prince of the Apostles, with whom, I implore Thee, may I share Thy bridal chamber...

Our Lord chose Simon Peter and appointed him chief of the Apostles, foundation of the holy Church and guardian of His establishment.

He appointed him head of the Apostles and commanded him to feed His flock and teach it laws for preserving the purity of its beliefs."

(Ephraem, Homilies, 4:1, 350 A.D.)

Sir,what actually is this ^^^ you posted?? And how does it relate to the teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Is the Church of Christ physical,or is it a spiritual reality in our lifes?.
