Christianity EtcRe: This Matter Of Keeping (jewish) Laws In Christianity. by Joshthefirst(m): 9:01pm On Dec 02, 2013
macof: Wats this am seeing about African Christians no longer under the lawhuh Were u ever under the law? If u are Oyo-Yoruba u are under the Oyo laws, if you are Ife-Yoruba u are under the Ife laws and are not free from it and never were unless u want to denounce ur ancestry.

You were never under the Jewish laws and should never be under it because u are not Jews neither are u in Israel. In Israel they still practice their laws because that's who they are, but if a Yoruba or Igbo wants to slave himself to Jews go ahead but don't contaminate people around, so u better move to where such laws are actual laws because in Nigeria no ethnic group deals with Jewish laws, we have our own laws, Unless u don't know them.
wetin you dey tok? huh


okeyxyz: This is the problem with most people professing to be christians and claiming to not being under the law, yet they continue to define sin as defined by the same law they claim to not follow. This is the fact: If you continue to follow the definitions of the law, then you are under the law. Simples. So to answer your question: No!! I don't believe in sin and a person led by the spirit CANNOT sin, else you are not led by the spirit.

As for the Holy spirit, yes it is a doctrine and this is the only way you can recognize him if anyone comes along claiming to be of the spirit. It is first a doctrine before a person, just like christ himself was first a doctrine(The Word of God) before a person.

And when Jesus says your righteousness must surpass that of the scribes and pharisees, he means your righteousness must surpass the Law which is the standard and custody of the scribes and pharisees. You cannot continue to be under the law(define right and wrong according to the law) and think you can surpass it. The only way is to cast it(The Law) away, it has been abolished by christ's death.
I believe we're under a new law now, the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus.

Under Gods law of life, we're free from the power of sin and death as we walk in love.

We fulfill the previous law, as we walk by faith in love, free in this law of Christ.

Logicboy03: Yawn,

This bullsheit again?



Evolution is a well grounded scientific theory. Go siddon if you no like am
thank God I have enough sense not to believe hogwash and speculation that leads to contradictions and confusion and foolishness.


There's nothing scientific about that theory. I choose not to have blind faith. I no like am. And more people don begin to question am. So in real life, you're loosing. Good evening.

[quote author=rationalmind][/quote]this is just pathetic. If that's your proof of common descent, its lame. You have to do better than that for pete's sake. You might go on to say embryology proves we're the same with animals because we look the same in the womb. grin
Christianity EtcContradictions. by Joshthefirst(op): 8:34pm On Dec 02, 2013
Well, I wanted to post this in the science and the technology section, but there were no subsections on abstract and applied sciences(for pete's sake? Which kind of thing is that? I mean smh)


So I decided to post this here.

This is what I got from a book I was reading:

THE SCOPE OF BIOCHEMISTRY

...The word life was employed to characterize the condition of objects as diverse as grass, trees, insects, worms, fish...humans. Each proceeds through a life cycle, reproduces its own kind, and responds in a variety of ways to external stimuli. Over the course of a few millennia, "living" forms were classified, first in terms of characteristics visible to the unaided eye, i.e., their gross comparative anatomy, and later with the aid of the light microscope...
This relatively primitive body of information, together with increased understanding of the fossil record, sufficed to permit formulation by Darwin of the most sweeping and compelling biological generalization of all, THE CONCEPT OF HISTORIC AND CONTINUING BIOLOGICAL EVOLUTION.
-culled from PRINCIPLES OF BIOCHEMISTRY.

Does anyone see the disparity in the two bolded portions?
Or should I elaborate?
How will these scientists claim that living organisms reproduce according to their kind,(meaning dogs give birth to dogs, cats give birth to cats, humans give birth to humans, generally) and then go on to say that darwins concept is compelling? The concept that states the exact opposite of what they have stated? The concept that says that somewhere in the supposed millions of years, men arose from ape-like ancestors.
Don't buffer the situation.
How can simple genetic variations give rise to a new 'kind' of organism?

How they arrived at this preposterous conclusion beats me.




PS: we cannot speak of biochemistry and biology without speaking of the origin of life itself.

ATMC: God is love. Jesus is the express image of God-love. Jesus is an expression of The Love-nature of God.
ma'am.

God is love too.
But he is justice.


God is not loving as to be blind to right and wrong and justice.


God is love. Jesus is love. Jesus is God. God is also holy, and cannot allow sin to go unpunished. A lot of times people try to use Gods grace and holiness to continue in sin.

Jesus is holy, because he is God.

Jesus will come again, to judge the living and the dead



Throughout the ages, we see Gods love and mercy, we also see his justice without favoritism for his people.

The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Alfa Seltzer: I can't go against my Master's command. By marrying me, she is sinning, thus she gets to enjoys all the pleasures of this world with me and without guilt as she is weekly absolved of all trangresions by the holy father. However we know she will end up with me in hell forever, so it's a win win situation. No need to convince her. She's already one of us. Ignorantly. Just like Texanomaly here.
do you let your kids go to church or fellowship?

Christianity EtcRe: Who Are The Most Annoying, Funny And Friendly Persons On Religion Section? by Joshthefirst(m): 9:05am On Nov 29, 2013
texanomaly: First of all...wow...really? I'm not anywhere on this list. I see how I rate. Ummm I don't rate at all.
Thanx



I don't know who AMFM is, so I can't speak to any feeling one way or another, where this person is concerned.

As for the others, sure they can be annoying sometimes. We are all annoying on occasion.



I would add aManFromMars. He is hilarious.
Hahahaha...I just realized who AMFM is. Oops i guess i do know him.

Hi sKeeter smiley




I think he's funny. I've always thought the 'straight' man, in any comedy team, is the funniest. I like dry humor.





Sorry ishi...i gotta single you out. You are friendly, for the most part, but when you're not, wow...Just sayin'. You are nice to me. I'm glad, because I would hate to be on the receiving end of your anger.



Everyone you mentioned, in any category, that I have encountered, has been polite to me. For the most part.



I don't know Vicky. Nice thread.
Hello



Me too



Good morning
sorry ma'am.
I feel pathetically ashamed of myself for not including you. I consider you the friendliest on nairaland.
