Leave lagosshia o grin he seems to read the bible upside down. You're right. It was punishment . It's an expression of the degree if punishment if they disobey God.

God had told them I set before you life and death , but choose life.

He also said in that chapter , if you harken to my voice these blessings shall follow you bla bla bla. .
But if you disobey , these curses shall follow you ,. . Enemies shall rule over you, they will take your possession to the point you will eat your children.

You quote scriptures erroneously and you wouldn't want to know the truth , that doesn't sound mature to me.The bible explains itself.

LagosShia:
this is no difference from the story of Lazarus.we ought to have witnessed in the bible where the  people Jesus raised from dead were taken up into heaven.or else Paul is lying in hebrews for telling us that we only die once and then the judgement.
If you don't understand it, leave it alone.

his disciples kept saying he is alive!!!and they were all shocked to see him.
There's difference between "he's alive (from the dea) and "he's alive (he never died)

The same way bible verses were twisted in quoran ,that's what I think you're trying to do. Why not take the bible for what it says being the original manuscripts

so all the time Jesus lived with them and preached to them went in vain as they did not even know that their master would be killed and resurrected based on what the early church with power wants us to believe
They had their unbelief , they were human beings that's their business not yours

Paul is speaking!!!and you know who he was!!!
Of course he was christ apostles to us.

the above in John like the other verse in matthew are obviously written by third parties
Does it matter if the story was written in first person or third person ? If I write about the nations called nigeria in third person   Does it change my nationality to be a stranger?

and inserted into the bible to make up the story.how do i know?in the verse of John 2:22 and matthew 28:5-6 neither Jesus is speaking nor the alleged writers (companions of Jesus) of the two books who are said to be witnesses who were waiting for Jesus.who is this third party that is narrating to us what neither Jesus is speaking nor his own disciples to whom the two respective books are attributed as their work?that is how you get to know that someone smuggled those verses into the bible to make for the "loss"!!!clearly,the disciples were shocked and confused.they didnt know what was happening.had Jesus told them,then we can say they did not believe Jesus was sent by God.in other words they disbelieved in him.
Every body wrote their own account . Some things in Historical things  may not be accurate because of different accounts. These are minor matters

as a muslim he would not let a foreign woman touch him.
And who told you Jesus was a Muslim? Do you know how many decade later islam started?.

he would not let a foreign woman touch him
And who's a foreign woman here? Mary.  cheesy pls explain

2.) tell us please why did he tell Mary Magdalene not to touch because he was going to heaven according to your imagination?why should she not touch him at that point?
He was about to ascend that instant. he himself said it.

John 20:17 (amp)
17 Jesus said to her, Do not cling to Me [do not hold Me], for I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go to My brethren and tell them, I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God.

Christianity EtcRe: Donate To The Poor And Needy Not Pastors tithe by Joagbaje(m): 2:54pm On Jan 25, 2012

Hello folks

Donate to the poor and needy out there A lot of children are dying out there. Instead of giving your 10% tithe to Pastors and Imams [false prophets & daylight robbery] using the bible and qua-ran to preach false in order to collect funds from them and enjoy their own lives.
The tithe is not for the pastor ,it is given to God. A pastor ought to give his own tithe also because he is a christian.

Give it to beggars on the street, Charity Foundations etc.God only wants your burnt offering, domestic animals that all.Do not sell the truth but they are selling theirs, as you can see you will begin to know them gradually by yourself Safe
Tell a friend to tell a friend
There are different kinds of givings in the word of God. Giving to the beggars is only a part of it. You should do all. There's giving of offerings ,tithes , projects, giving to Your man of God, giving to the poor and giving to parents . They all carry their different blessings . One should not take the place of the other.

@LagosShia, u re wasting ur time, ur blinded Islamic mind cannot make u get a single word from the Bible.
Your despiration is sinful and this makes ur interpretations 100% inaccurate. It's impossible for to know a single word in it.


If you so much love the bible you must convert so that u will now have the guidance of the Holy Spirit in interpreting God’s Word.
Know ye that the Bible is inspired by God and is addressed to His people only. People who are blind can never find a truth in it, and this fits you.

the bible is so truthful,it cant be understood without Gods spirit

LagosShia:
that is news. grin
that is a doubtful story or half told when examined under the light of the bible itself.where is Lazarus today? so you cannot use that story to rest any case on it from the bible:
Jesus raised a dead girl to life here. Was she raised as a spirit or bodily ?

Mark 5:41-42
41 And he took the damsel by the hand, and said unto her, Talitha cumi; which is, being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee, arise. 42 And straightway the damsel arose, and walked; for she was of the age of twelve years. And they were astonished with a great astonishment.


you are the one making this hard on yourself.just admit that you're basing your belief on your interpretation which is imaginative and not backed by scripture.
This a commentary on this by Dakes.

Mary attempted to hold Him and Jesus said, "Touch me not"; that is, "Do not cling to Me. I am going immediately to heaven. Go tell My brethren that I ascend to God but will be back again to see them." That very day He did ascend to heaven and came back to appear with disciples ( Jn. 20:19 ). c [for I am not yet ascended to my Father] This is the reason why He did not want Mary to detain Him. He permitted women to touch Him, but not detain Him


for you to know why,you must first ask why would Mary Magdalene first of all wanted to touch him?she wanted to touch him because she thought Jesus was a spirit and he died.therefore Jesus told her "dont touch me" and "i am not yet dead
So what happened on the cross if he didn't die?. And why did he ask other disciples to touch him? If according to you he hadn't ascended

moreover,during all these events they kepts repeating one word as reported in the bible which is "alive".they kept saying "he is alive".what is the meaning of "he is alive"?it means he is not dead or did not die!they did not say he is resurrected.
Matthew 28:5-6
5 And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. 6 He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. .


1 Corinthians 15:4
4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:


John 2:22
22 When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.
Christianity EtcRe: Was Jesus' Blood Loss Before "execution" Important? by Joagbaje(m): 7:25pm On Jan 24, 2012
LagosShia:
from Jesus!words in the bible attributed to Jesus where he said after resurrection we shall be "equal unto the angels" or angelized/spiritualized.
the inauthentic Mark 16.
There are different kinds of ressurrections dear. There is difference between the world to come and the now.

I'm sure you must have heard about the resurrection of Lazarus . Was it physical (bodily) or spiritual ?

point to me where in those verses it says he ascended and when he came back it was okay for them to touch him.
I gave you verses . Read them again. I'm sure you're not trying to wear me out with repetitions.

it is so obvious that jews carry their sacrifice in the temple of the blood is shed in the temple while Jesus' alleged "death" was not even a sacrifice by jewish standards.this is not what i am saying.it is what your jewish masters are saying.check the OP again. you are inserting your imaginations between the lines.
Don't talk about what you don't know.

Let me ask you a simple question. Why would Jesus say some not to touch him and allow some to touch him.
Christianity EtcRe: Was Jesus' Blood Loss Before "execution" Important? by Joagbaje(m): 4:50pm On Jan 24, 2012
LagosShia:
"i have not yet ascended" is an idiom.
a resurrected body is "spiritualized" according to the bible.so Jesus was not expected to have a physical body but he did.that is also another confusion.
Where did you get that funny doctrine .Jesus  bodily , not as a spirit. See what the bible says

Luke 24:36-43
And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you. 37 But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit. 38 And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts? 39 Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have. 40 And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and his feet. 41 And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat? 42 And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb. 43 And he took it, and did eat before them.


he was in no hurry.Mary Magdalene was suprised to see a living Jesus.he confirmed he was not dead but would later ascend
How later? grin

.for you to conclude that he ascended within minutes and came back to meet his disciples,only your imagination can prove that to only you.
can you show us proof from the bible?nothing!
It's proven already. He didn't allow people to hold him when he rose and was about to ascend.

John 20:17
17 Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.


And when he came back he said they could now touch him.

Luke 24:39
. . .Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself:[b]handle me,[/b]and see;


What further proof do you need. Why would he say in the morning "don't touch me ,I'm ascending," and in the evening ,he says "you can touch me" cool
Christianity EtcRe: Was Jesus' Blood Loss Before "execution" Important? by Joagbaje(m): 2:53pm On Jan 24, 2012
LagosShia:
he asked her:"why do you look for the living among the dead".he also told her "i am not yet ascended".he was basically telling her i am not yet dead[/b]and still on earth.
Ascension and death are not the same . Thesis is the process.; death,burial,resurrection,ascension .

basically telling her i am not yet [b]dead[/b]and still on earth.go and tell the disciples i am living and i would "be ascended" or "taken up" later and let them meet me somewhere now.
Does it make any sense?  Did Jesus sound as if the ascension is later ? He sounded as though the ascension was imminent ,not later.He was in a haste.

[b]John 20:17

17 Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.

Its clear what he was saying. It was a departing statement. It's like saying tell them I have gone somewhere,or I'm on my way . I will see them later. See living bible translation,

New Living Translation (©2007)
"Don't cling to me," Jesus said, "for I haven't yet ascended to the Father. But go find my brothers and tell them, 'I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.'"

"I'm ascending"  " I'm on my way" this suggest hurry . Why hurry knowing that he would still be around for another 40 days? . There were ascensions. The first one was urgent to fulfill his task in heavenly sanctuary ,he came back ,now people could touch him, he even ate with them,roasted fishes with them ,broke bread and ate with them and after 40 days ,he had the second asension right in their presence .

now between the time Mary Magdalene left him and the time he met the disciples,there is no report he physically ascended into heaven and returned.it is not reported.it exists in your imagination and myth.
.The first ascension was not physical nor public. Because his assignment wasn't complete yet, he had to get mary out of his way. And later that day he met them .   But the second ascension   took place 40 days after was public one.

Im just new in this fora. i have no excuse than to contibute the discussion here. Can anyone tell me where its stated in the bible that Jesus is on the right side of God, who saw him and how did God look because whoever saw Jesus on the right side of God will eventually saw God because for the person to identify the left or right og God. With my knowledge, no human being has ever seen God. Pls can frosbel provide the answer.
It's not a geographical position. But rather a spiritual position. Like you say "right hand man" right hand signifies authority.
Christianity EtcRe: Was Jesus' Blood Loss Before "execution" Important? by Joagbaje(m): 1:33pm On Jan 24, 2012
the truth in that passage was clear. is either you dont understand it just as scripture predicted or you deliberately refused to accept the open fact.

are you aware jesus was on earth for about 40 days after resurection?. he ate with them ,broke bread with them talked with them ,he was even touched . all these happened with the 40 days after resureection. why on earth woul he now tell the woman go and tell my desciple im asscending to the father when he knew he would see them ,and talked with them and still be arround for about 40 days more. does it make sence?

the evidence is clear,when he said 'Tell them i am ascending, he actually ascended '

he had told them where to wait for him.when he was done ,he joined them up.

LagosShia:
you left the post unanswered for a while and you now came to pretend ignorance of what you said?
What question? Pls re post it

you said Jesus could not be touched because he was going to perform an atonement.i showed you a verse where Jesus is asking someone to touch him.ofcourse you cannot explain why earlier he was telling the first person not to touch him.you cannot explain that because you have being limited from thinking why
this is where you are lying.please show us where Jesus is said to have ascended to heaven and came back.after the alleged "resurrection",
I thought my post was clear enough. Jesus was both lamb and high priest.  When he died , the holy spirit had left him.  It was the 3rd day that the holy spirit entered him again. And by that spirit he ascended to offer his blood in the heavenly sanctuary.

Mary met him before he could ascend (first ascension ) he didn't allow her to touch him. Nobody touches the high priest while he is perform duty. He had to keep himself pure.

the only place where Jesus is said to have ascended without coming back is in Mark 16.and even there,the verses 9-20
JeT here was an earlier ascension in John 20.

You should know also that Jesus still stayed around for about a month after resurrection before he finally left. So what ascension was he talking about to Mary. It was obvious the reason he wont be touched was because he had to ascend immediately. Look at that scripture again.

John 20:17
17 Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.


The scripture was clear that the reason he wouldn't want her to hold him back was because of the errand he had to perform.

If he says ". . Touch me not ,for I am not yet ascended to my Father" means you can touch me after I come back .
I don't know how many minutes or second it took him to get to heaven and back. But one thing was clear , it was not because mary was a woman he didn't allow her , it was because he had duty to perform. That's why there was possibility to touch him when he came back.

In addition ,the question you should ask yourself is ' at what point Jesus enter the sanctuary in heaven with his blood.

 Heberews 9:11
But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building; 12 Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.


It was at resurrection that the holy spirit entered him after God had forsaken him on the cross being Sin. He offered his blood by the holy and eternal spirit. Because the holy spirit came into him and raised him from the dead . And he ascended to heavenly sanctuary to offer his blood by the sprit and came back . And people were able to touch him.
Christianity EtcRe: Where Was Jesus Allegedly Killed? by Joagbaje(m): 10:25am On Jan 24, 2012
The sacrificial animal for atonement were slaughtered out side the city, and their blood brought into the temple for atonement. That's why Jesus our lamb has to be killed outside the city. I don't really get your point . Why the question? Do you think it's an insult to Christianity? .It is for a reason.
Christianity EtcRe: The Sin That Defeats Jesus by Joagbaje(m): 10:17am On Jan 24, 2012
There are two sides to a gift. The giver and the receiver. If I give a hungry man food and he throws it away or trample down on it , is the food the problem? If a man turns down the blood of Jesus does Jesus need to come and die the second time?. He has fin usher his work ,it's left to infpdividuals to work their salvation out.

Hebrews 6:4-6
For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, 5 And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, 6 If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.

LagosShia:
Galatians 3:13
Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:

Deuteronomy 21:23
His body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but thou shall in any wise bury him that day; (for he that is hanged is accursed of Godwink that thy land be not defiled, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance.

Luke 24:39
Look at my hands and my feet. It is I myself! Touch me and see; a ghost does not have flesh and bones, as you see I have."
I don't know your point here. But you must understand the old testament to have full comprehension of the new. Firstly there's a sanctuary in heaven . Jesus had 2 ascensions. Jesus died on the cross but his blood was not offered on the cross. His blood was shed on the cross. He died ,went to the regions of the dead, and he was raised by the holy spirit on the third day. That morning ,he ascended As our high priest with his own blood ,to offer it in the heavenly sanctuary . That's why he wouldn't allow mary to touch him. Because he was performing a priestly duty that morning.

John 20:17
17 Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.


After he ascended, he came back in the evening and people could then touch him.

John 20:27
27 Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.


So there's a parallel to this in the old testament. The body of the scape goats were killed outside the city but their blood were brought to make atonement at the sanctuary alter.

Jesus also was killed outside the city and his blood was offered at the heavenly sanctuary.

Hebrews 13:10-11
We have an altar, whereof they have no right to eat which serve the tabernacle. 11 For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are burned without the camp.


Hebrews 9:11-15
But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building; 12 Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. 13 For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: 14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? 15 And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.

LagosShia:
but didn't Jesus "die" for the sins of mankind to be forgiven? so afterall it is not all sins that would be forgiven,right?
You're right. But a man has to ask for forgiveness to be forgiven. If such a person will repent he would be forgiven. But a man who has reached that state has no conscience for repentance. So the problem is not on God side to force a mans heart to change . A man has power of his own will . If he repents ,theres forgiveness . But will he? Why has Satan and the demons nit repented?

To all christian brothers , you  don't have to attack Mohamed to defend Jesus. Such atmosphere give no room for Learning.

2 Timothy 2:24-26
24 And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, 25 In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; 26 And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.


Same things goes for the muslims. You can give proper response to questions about your faith without attacking God or Jesus .

Christianity EtcRe: I "LagosShia" Will Embrace Christianity On Two Little Conditions! by Joagbaje(m): 5:03pm On Jan 23, 2012
LagosShia:
let us see what the different versions of the bible have in store on John 8:58:
John 8:58
New International Version (NIV)
58 “Very truly I tell you,” Jesus answered, “before Abraham was born, I am!”

John 8:58
King James Version (KJV)
58Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.


John 8:58
New King James Version (NKJV)
58 Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.”


now regarding the issue of the words "I am" and not "I was" we have to start reading from verse 52 of John 8 to know clearly that Jesus was speaking figuartive as he meant also that the prophets do not die!so if we are to take the words "I am" to indicate he was "god",then so also would we have to consider others as lesser gods:

note that in Islam we also coincidentally believe that prophets are ordained by Go before their births.so therefore Muhammad (sa) too could tell the jews that before Abraham "I am"!!!!!!

christians are desperate and looking for more tricks and interpretations to pull!!!

grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin grin
The deity of Jesus is not controversial . He is called " MIGHTY GOD"


Isaiah 9:6
6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given:and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God,The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
