Luke 21:25-28
[25]“And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring;
[26]men’s hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
[27]Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
[28]Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.”

@topic It's a little of both for me. I'm looking forward to Jesus' return but at the same time, I'm a little scared of how it will be and hoping that whenever He comes I will be prepared. I try to live ready for His imminent return but sometimes it just feels as though the world won't end and things will just continue as they always have. Lord help me. Maranatha!

Verse 27 speaks of events that took place almost 2000 years ago, events that culminated in the destruction of the land of Jerusalem and Judaeh. So, why are you Christians still waiting for it to take place? The people it was meant to happen to already welcomed it and moved forward from it since then— those of them that survived. So, why are you Christians expecting this same past to be your future?

➜Today, myself and him are in an entirely new state. Same state. He's stranded and has nowhere to live. He's on the streets now. He has called and sent messages apologizing for what happened many years ago. I don't pick his calls and I don't reply his msgs Either. I've tried to let the past go, but I can't. I was deeply hurt by people that should love me, I was never loved as a child and somehow, it had a psychological and mental impact on me. I lost all confidence in humanity. I see people as wicked. I concluded that since I don't have parents, I'm just the only one left in this entire world. It is me against the world. I haven't made it yet, I'm still struggling. But thank God I have a decent accommondation to sleep in. My background has made me to turn an introvert. I don't have a close friend. I don't trust people. I don't believe in relationships. I can't open up to people. I see everyone as betrayer.
My only desire and prayers now is for God to connect me to the right people so I can get a job and enjoy every fruit of my hard labor over the years. I have suffered a lot right from birth as if I was cursed.

The reason you wrote this here is because you already know the right thing to do and are instead here to find validation for why you should probably not do it, right?

If you wish to heal from all your hurts, do what you think is best for you to do, given all of the angst and hurt that you have built up inside of you. Closing yourself off from others has not helped you so far. Continuing down that path does not hold any hope. So, step out of yourself and do what you know is likely to help you heal from the hurts these people inflicted on you in the past — the power the memory of what they did holds over you still.

➜I remember in 1999 when I went yo Pastor Chris church for the first time at Oregon. After service first timers were called to a seperate room and our name and addresses were collected. We were giving a ten minute pep talk and encouraged to speak in tounges and were nudged to follow the example of the prayer leaders and just let it flow.
As a well versed Celestian, I was careful not yo sin against the Holy Spirit and just kept my mouth shut because I knew that what they were nudging us to do was not what happened on the day of Pentecost. If I want to do it for jest , I can imitate the bullshit they do and even make it sound like a language...but I respect sacred manifestations way too much to do so. That is how many of th

➜Your comment is a textbook example of confusion layered on arrogance, topped with a sloppy misunderstanding of theology—Islamic and Christian. Let’s untangle your mess point by point.
1. “So antiChristian, your Quran calls the Messiah Lord?” – No, you’re cherry-picking and still getting it wrong.
First, the Qur’an does not call Jesus “Lord” (Rabb) in the way Christians use it. Islam calls him Messiah (al-Masih), a prophet, the Word of God, born of a virgin, and highly honored—but not divine.
✓ The Qur’an makes it crystal clear: “Indeed, the Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, was no more than a messenger of Allah…” (Qur'an 4:171) Islam doesn’t reduce Jesus’ status—it restores it to what he actually taught: submission to One God. That’s not dishonor. That’s truth stripped of pagan fusion and theological inflation. So no—Muslims don’t call Jesus “Lord” because worship is due to God alone. You can’t accuse Muslims of disrespect for refusing to commit shirk (associating partners with God)—that’s like calling a surgeon anti-medicine for refusing to drink poison.

Not where to hold brief, but the Israelite term Rabbi means teacher, not Lord, though.

Jesus Christ of Israel was highly honored, you say. According to Scripture, Jesus Christ of Israel is the Messiah, Prophet, King of the Jews, is also the Eternal King of Israel, promised by the God of Israel to sit on the throne of Israel forever— the throne of David. If Islam does honor Jesus Christ of Israel as you claim, does it then make sense that an eternal King is expected in Islam to bow down to the claims of an ordinary man like Mohammad, a man not even worshipped by his own followers?

CreativeOrbit:
✓ In Islam, Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) is regarded as the final Messenger and Seal of the Prophets (Qur’an 33:40). Jesus the Messiah (peace be upon him) is also highly revered as one of the greatest prophets, but not divine. According to authentic Islamic teachings, Jesus will return before the Day of Judgment to fulfill specific roles, including restoring justice and correcting misbeliefs about his nature.
However, it is not correct to suggest that Prophet Muhammad will "submit to the judgment of Jesus" in a way that implies superiority or hierarchy after death. Prophet Muhammad has completed his mission and passed away, having fulfilled the final revelation—the Qur'an—which is the standard of judgment for all people, including Jesus upon his return.

When Jesus returns, he will follow the Shariah (law) of Muhammad, not bring a new law. This is supported by Hadith, such as in Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim, where the Prophet said Jesus will "break the cross, kill the swine, and abolish the jizya," and that he will rule by the Qur’an and Sunnah, not the Gospel.
So, in Islamic belief, Jesus (peace be upon him) will be a follower of the final Prophet, Muhammad (peace be upon him), upon his return—not the other way around.

Moses brought a Law which created the Kingdom of Israel. Jesus Christ of Israel came and brought another Law which set up what He called the Kingdom of God, a kingdom greater than all of the kingdoms of men. Yet, according to you, less than 500 years after that, Mohammad brought a Law for what purpose exactly? 🤔

✓ Some questions were asked here with answers you have to find out yourself
Exploring the Cosmos: A Search for Meaning and Purpose.
From ancient philosophers to modern scientists, the quest for answers about our existence has remained timeless. As astronomers peer into the depths of space, uncovering breathtaking images of galaxies billions of light-years away, the fundamental question persists: Does God exist? Through the lens of brilliant thinkers like Stephen Hawking and Carl Sagan, this thought-provoking exploration delves into the mysteries of the universe, humanity’s place within it, and the search for ultimate truth.

Why does this or any God need to live in or out there cosmos/universe though?

✓ The anti-bastard Law.
Section 42 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (As amended) provides for the Right to Freedom from discrimination while Subsection (2), by extension, specifically emphasizes that “no citizen of Nigeria shall be subjected to any disability or deprivation merely by reason of the circumstances of his or her birth.”

How does this equate to what you said earlier though?

✓ I will be dropping legal precedent to back it up but before then, please answer this moral question. Does it means Davido is not the father of Imade because he didn't marry Sophia, Imade's mother?

I don't know those people you mentioned so I can't directly comment on their relationships. But if an unmarried woman has a child, she typically decides whether or not to allow the sperm donor access to the child or not. The sperm donor can't go, "It was my sperm that produced this, therefore it is mine."

Sugarboyy:
✓ Which one supercede the other between Tradition and the Law?
Because by law, any child birthed by your sperm, mostly after proving by a DNA is your child. And personally I think I would go with the law in this case because a man can't father a child and at the end the woman's family would want to claim ownership of the man's child. The woman papa for just sleep with his daughter Na since Na pikin he they find

can you provide a reference to this law which gives you right over any child born from your sperm?

Maybe I haven't grown better in spirit sha...was my reason for creating the thread.

You spiricoco individuals are no different from ordinary people. When confronted with discrimination and probably bullying, you look for ways to not only rationalize it but also use the name of your deity to continue handing power over to your oppressors/bullies. You are already looking for spiricoco-laced reasons to retreat in defeat. Na wa oo! 🙄🙄🙄🙄

Of course it isn't a valid reason. The only reason why q couple would expect the other not to cheat would have to be a mutual agreement of loyalty in the relationship. Anything else would amount to what you described in your OP, a senseless expectation of sorts.

QuinQ:
➜I am slowly beginning to realize I'm NOT talking to a normal person and will have to soon stop.[/b]
1) In case you have forgotten, this discussion is about why JESUS would NOT consider Samaritans part of covenant Israel and therefore part of lost sheep of Israel. That's "why the f-ck" it matters!
2) Levites were NOT given a tribal land of their own like other tribes. There is no area called Levi.
But you can still include them as one of the tribes if you wish meaning there were 13 tribes NOT 12

1. Answer the questions asked instead of this constant need to shift the goal post.

1. Where in the Scriptures do you have YHWH or Jesus Christ, or Israel informing you that the Samaritans were not considered part of the Covenant of Israel? Where?

This was not the discussion I was part of, but since you created these nonsense assertions, provide proof to back your claim or leave it in the trash where it belongs.

2. Where in Israelite Scripture were you informed not to consider the Levites as a tribe in Israel because they do not have any land allotted to them? Where?

Stop deviating and f-cking answer the questions asked.

➜Dear brothers and sisters in christ, It's with an heavy heart I'm typing this to seek wider view and clarity on this issue that has been bothering me and I'd be so grateful if I can learn one or two things from the comment session to upgrade my level of understanding. Lord Jesus said he never came for the saints only and he even told people to throw the stone at the adulterous woman if they have never sinned before. My question is, how has being a single mom affect one's service in the vineyard? For instance, I'm a worker in church, chorister, Sunday school teacher and interpreter.....but I'm a single mom, was not legally married to. Then, my attention was called to it by an higher spiritual leader that I ought not to be working as a worker in church due to the stigmatization of giving birth out of wedlock and being a single mom. I weighed the topic and hasn't find clarity... maybe I haven't studied the bible deeper enough. Men and women of God, what is your opinion on single parenting and christianity? Are single moms ought to be relegated in God's presence cos of their status? Please, help me to shed light on it....... if possible, with biblical back ups. Thanks

Men and women of gods indeed! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

If say you be single dad or even baby daddy sef, you think say that your "higher spiritual leader" go dey tell you that same thing so? Make una dey open una eye to see say the nonsense inside your so-called vineyards na the same thing wey dey happen everywhere else, abeg! Discrimination hidden behind the mentions of your gods or your spirituals na the same discrimination wey dey happen everywhere else in the world including porn clubs.

Discrimination na Discrimination even if you try to hide it behind the mention of the name of a deity or ancestor!

Are you a BLITHERING IDIOT?? You are really beginning to piss me off! It was a PROVINCE of a country (Rome) NOT country of it's own. Exactly same way Oyo is a state or province in Nigeria!

Judah/judae was a captive nation/colony— first with the Babylonians, then the Persians, the Greeks, and eventually the Romans. There were no rules as far as what the Colonizers could or could not do to their captive nations. So, if it went from being a nation to a kingdom to a province, etc., that does not matter to this discourse. So stop f-cking shifting the goal post!

QuinQ:
➜I don't think you actually read what write. You just reply. Here again is one thing they had to do to maintain the covenant (like circumcision):
Deuteronomy 7: 3,6 -
"Do not intermarry with them. Do not give your daughters to their sons or take their daughters for your sons... For you are a people holy to the Lord your God. The Lord your God has chosen you out of all the peoples on the face of the earth to be his people, his treasured possession."

How does this passage answer any of the questions I posed you earlier?

1. Again, why the f-ck should it matter to me or anything what you think the Jews thought or did not think? Did the Covenant in question belong to these Jews or to YHWH? Why do you keep shoving your private delusions of how you believe those Jews thought, pretending you make some point over what is written in Scripture? Stop running all over the place and answer the questions asked with evidence, abeg! Why do you continue to exclude the Samaritans— clearly descendants of Jacob, whatever their tribe — being considered as far as the people and tribes are concerned? Where in all of Israelite Scripture do you get the reason for this from?

2. What you are suggesting is that YHWH Himself set His system up in such a way that rather than obtain land for their inheritance, the Levites instead got paid from the tithes, vows and offerings, collected via His system, you take that to mean that YHWH excluded the Levites from being considered among the tribes inhabiting the land which He gave to the 12 tribes of Israel? Where did YHWH tell you this— that the Levites were not to be considered part of the 12 tribes?

QuinQ:
➜It was not a nation or kingdom. It was a province of Rome.
➜But use your head sometimes: What sort of nation has image of Caesar of another nation on their money, pays taxes to that nation, and is census-ed by that country? See below

Thank goodness! So, we finally arrived at the nation/kingdom/province existing, abi? And we know it existed, right? Now, can we move past this, or do you want to keep going on about how it did not exist at the time when Jesus Christ was born, or what else?

2. There was no template as far as the treatment or ruling over of captive nations/colonies back during the days of the empires. Each empire ruled over its captive nations/colonies as it saw fit. If you go back through history, you would realize this and quit trying to impose ideas and rules that do not apply, such as the one you attempted here.

QuinQ:
➜OMG this guy! I know you can Google these things and see for yourself; you just like ridiculous debate. I told you anybody can consider themselves anything. If Jews considered Samaritans fellow covenant Israelites do you think they wouldn't be speaking to them?
➜ Levi's were not granted any land but 48 cities throughout Israel. They're traditionally not considered a tribe, but if you wish to include them then there were 13 tribes

1. Why the f-ck should it matter to me or anything what you think the Jews thought or did not think? Did the Covenant in question belong to these Jews or to YHWH? Why do you keep shoving your private delusions of how you believe those Jews thought, pretending you make some point over what is written in Scripture?

QuinQ:
➜My friend I thought you said you studied? And do you even read what I write? Samaritans were a mixture of peoples and NOT considered a tribe of Israel!
➜ Levi is not counted among the tribes, otherwise there'd actually be 13 tribes! I'm sure you'd ask me same dumb question again!

Even though the Samaritan woman clearly declared their ancestor to be Jacob, the same one that is Jesus Christ of Israel's very own ancestor, right there in John 4, you insist she was not Israelite enough or what? Samaritan isn't the name of a tribe, however, the fact is they are non-Jewish descendants of Israel, so why the denial of her inclusion?

2. Levi is not counted among the tribes? WOW... and here I thought Jacob had 12 sons and Levi was one of them, making it 12 tribes of Israel?

These are the names of Jacob’s twelve sons:
23 His firstborn son was Reuben, whose mother was Leah. Jacob’s other sons by Leah were Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun.
24 His sons by Rachel were Joseph and Benjamin.
25 His sons by Bilhah, Rachel’s maid, were Dan and Naphtali.
26 His sons by Zilpah, Leah’s maid, were Gad and Asher. - Genesis 35 vs 23 - 26

When did Levi cease to be one of the 12 tribes(sons) of Israel?

QuinQ:
➜ I don't think you read this part of my post: If Igbo land were named "Biafra", after the Civil War it'd still be called Biafra, right? But would you say the nation/country of Biafra continued to exist? And if someone comes along and renames it, does it mean it suddenly started existing again? "Nation/country" is what the area called Biafra was durring the civil war. "Not nation/country" is what same area is today!

Again, what nation/kingdom/etc, did the Hadrian, the Roman, rename as Syria Palaestina around 135 AD? That is the nation I have been referring to. No need for this incessant and meaningless roundabout, abeg!

QuinQ:
➜ Now let's deal with this your insistence on calling him "Jesus of Israel" (so that henceforth you'd stop doing it).
➜ One of the last commandments Jesus gave the apostles was AFTER his resurrection from the dead. It is called "The Great Commission":
In Matthew 28:18-20, Jesus instructs his disciples to "go and make disciples of all nations." This explicit command was from the resurrected Christ HIMSELF, not Paul or anybody else. A "Jesus of ONLY Israel" would NOT give such a commandment. Add to that his various interactions with, and miracles for, Gentiles, and you can be certain Christ's message and salvation was meant for all mankind!

You can't deal with someone you have for over 2 pages now refused to broach and that is the fact that Jesus Christ said His Father sent Him only to the Lost sheep of Isreal and even when He sent His followers out to only the Jewish subset of the Lost sheep, He made clear that they were also to go only to the Lost sheep of Israel.

What you Christians call your great commission DOES NOT NEGATE the fact that Jesus Christ of Israel's Father sent Him only to the Lost Sheep of Israel. It also DOES NOT NEGATE the previous warning which Jesus Christ of Israel gave His followers, instructing them not to give that which is Holy to the non-Israelites. In sending His followers out to all the Nations, the understanding remained that they were to go to the Lost Sheep of Israel and not give that which is Holy— the Gospel— to the dogs — the non-Israelites. This isn't rocket science and going around and around in circles with this will not change any of the truths declared by Jesus Christ of Israel as far as His followers are concerned.

QuinQ:
....

So what nation did Hadrian rename Palestine?

QuinQ:
✓ You haven't studied anything or you won't be repeating the same misinformation. See just mere Google below.
(If Igbo land were named "Biafra", after the Civil War it'd still be called Biafra, but would you say the nation/country of Biafra continued to exist?)

please try to use your head a lot more abeg! 🙄🙄🙄

There are 12 tribes of Israel (Manasseh and Ephraim both belonging instead to the tribe of Joseph) and we confirm that at least members of 4 out of those 12 tribes lived in Judah -- Levi, Benjamin, Judah and whatever order tribes you wish to pretend the Samaritans consisted of. Do the math. What is 12 - 4? Doesn't that serve as more than enough proof that your Lost 10 tribes idea is a myth?

broIZ:
➜Were the apostles roman christians here? "The law was in place before Paul and Silas showed up in Philippi. There was no persecution" This was what you said in answer to the verse that Qing quoted
"They brought them before the magistrates and said, “These men are Jews, and are throwing our city into an uproar 21 by advocating customs unlawful for us Romans to accept or practice.” I said you are wrong that this is the act of persecution as we know it, according to ICC.
➜ and then you said the christians were not persecuted by the Romans. And I gave you example of a roman guy, Herod who persecuted the apostles and christians (act 12).
➜you are saying some christians are dogs and some are the real ones.
➜ Weren't the apostles the followers of Chris according persecuted by Herod?
➜ Also how many times do I have to say that Herod was not born Jewish?

Judae, the nation of the Jews was captured by the Babylonians around 685 BCE by Nebuchadnezzar. Babylonian rule was toppled by the Persians, who also took over Judea around 620 BCE. This was followed by the Greek Empire in 330 BCE, and then eventually by the Romans in 63 BCE. Phillipi, the place where Paul and Silas were prosecuted and punished for disseminating unlawful information, was part of the Roman Province.

2. And I recall correcting you several times already, pointing out that Herod was the Jewish King of the Jews who ruled and persecuted the followers of Jesus Christ of Israel because of their beliefs, which were not seen as conforming to their Jewish religious laws.

3. Jesus Christ of Israel said His followers are of the Lost sheep of Israel - sheep. Jesus Christ of Israel is also the one who pointed out that non-Israelites were dogs and should not be handed the Gospel — Holy— citing their being incapable of handling it. The Romans—dogs— who turned themselves into a religion that plagiarized the movement started by Jesus Christ of Israel are the ones called Christians, and their religion is Christianity.

4. For the umpteenth time, Herod was a Jew, and he was the king of the jews whom Jesus Christ of Israel was accused of attempting to usurp by His claim that He was the Messiah.

5. What proof do you have that Herod was not born a Jew?

QuinQ:
➜Sorry, not being arrogant but this one is beneath me. You really ought go immerse yourself in a study of history of Israel before I can continue this discussion with you. Also study the 400 years between the old and new testaments
(For comparison, USA is only 200+ years old)

I have studied all of that that and nothing of what you claim compares to facts of history. I have continually asked that you focus on providing evidence to support your claims, but you seem to think you can bully your way into winning still... why?

You keep avoiding my direct questions to you only to keep asserting this nonsense of yours, and I can't help but wonder if you are in your correct mind at this point.

Again, 1. The books of the Bible state that the nation existed and that Jesus Christ was born into it. History has it that Hadrian is the one who renamed it from Judea to Syrian Palestine as we have it today, and this was approximately 100 years after the death of Jesus Christ. So, what part of Google do you claim told you instead that the nation ceased to exist 600 years before Jesus Christ?

2. Well, the "Lost tribes of Israel" myth was created by those of the Religion of Christianity, a myth which contradicts Scripture itself, which clearly proves that living among the Jews( the tribes of Benjamin and Judah) were the Levites and Samaritans. How can 10 tribes of Israel be considered lost when, in the course of this discourse alone, we were able to verify that at least 4 out of the 12 lived in Judea in the first century?

QuinQ:
➜Kobo, you have issues. Either that or you just enjoy making me laugh.
* I told you the Samaritans were a mixture of peoples and there was no way a purist like Christ would consider them covenant (OT) Israelites.
* I told you the way Christ spoke to the Samaritan woman was not how you spoke to someone you consider part of you
* I told you Jews were the only OT Israelites at that point - unless you say living in that area makes you an OT Israelite, which it doesn't because some who lived there had no Israelite blood whatsoever while others were mixed. You have to realize these peoples had been intermarrying for over 700 years by the time of Christ.
* I told you Jesus also dealt with and performed miracles for Gentiles. That's when you went crazy with children and dogs - to you saving someone's life is crumbs that fell to dogs!
➜Samaritans were NOT covenant Israelites - (of course anybody can consider themselves anything. It doesn't mean they are that!)
You ought know when to concede defeat and move on!

WoW... You haven't realized at this point in the discussion that your religious gobblegook tales mean absolutely nothing to me?

2. Covenant Israelites? What the f-ck does that even mean? Where in Scripture do you get this notion that there exist Israelites who were excluded from the Covenant by the God of Israel, who is instead written to have chosen all of Israel as His people?

broIZ:
➜What do you mean by dishonest interpretation. I gave you the definition of persecution according to ICC. If it's wrong then tell me. and what's skirting?
➜ My issue was with your argument about definition of persecution
➜ and your wrong notion that it was only Jews that persecuted the christian, both which I have addressed.
➜ And also I am not arguing about Paul, I don't know why you are giving Paul as example. I said Herod was a roman citizen, and not Jewish by birth.

1. The Oxford definition I used surfices. I keep insisting that there are two separate groups in contention here, and each group was persecuted by different people. But you keep ignoring that fact of the discussion to continue to assert your washed-up ideas instead. Why?

2. Definition has nothing to do with this. Rather, at the core of all of this is pointing out the difference between the persecutions of the followers of Jesus Christ vs the persecutions of the Roman Christians.

3. See what I mean! You twist what I say and then expect me to retort in agreement or disagreement. Does any of that make sense?

Again, my claim from the beginning until now has been that the Christians who are of the religion of Christianity— all of them non-Israelites, aka dogs — were never persecuted by the Jews. Their persecution came solely from the Romans. This much I continue to make clear in my posts.

4. Herod, like Paul, was a Jew born to a Jewish parent and was also a Roman citizen. Why can't I use Paul as an example in this case?

P.S. Please make sure to read through the response carefully before you respond! I am having to repeat myself over and over, and it is getting tiring!
