Jesus Christ who was sent by His Father, the God of Israel, only to the Lost Sheep of Israel.

■ are u an atheist?

There are over 4000 verified deities out there worshipped by men, many of them bearing that same title you listed.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creator_deity

So, as I said earlier, you need to be certain of the identity of the particular deity you hope to spend your life serving and you equally need to have a good knowledge of whether you qualify and what the deity wants from you. Otherwise, you will end up playing right into the hands of scammers who call themselves religious leaders and authorities whose only desire is to use you and all that is yours for their benefit.

The woman is not serious. How can an able bodied woman depend on her husband completely in this modern age? See how fresh she looks. You can tell her husband practically shouldered the financial responsibility of the family; hence the audacity to kick her out. I feel no pity for her.

There is nothing wrong with a woman depending on her husband for all of her sustenance in marriage. After all, that kind of marriage remains a valid contract. The problem arises when that husband is not able to provide or refuses to as in this case. There seems to be no legal recourse available to women in such cases and that is the problem here.

Hi, So this year I told myself i needed to get closer to God. I don't like the way I'm living my life on Auto pilot. I'm a student by the way but I go from my house which means I can't join a campus fellowship. What can I do to get started? God bless

FYI, the god of Adeboye IS NOT the god of Oyedepo and IS NOT the god of Kumuyi and IS NOT the god of Oyakilome and IS NOT the god of Mbaka and IS NOT the god of Aribasala and IS NOT The god of jerry Eze and IS NOT the god of ..... None of these men and their gods have any connection or relationship to the God of Israel or His Son, Jesus Christ.

So, because you go around asking this question of yours, the first thing you have to be certain of is the identity of the God you wish to serve. If you are not sure, then my advice to you is that you take time to in fact reason critically about the exact issue in your life that is giving you so much worry and consider the steps you have taken so far towards resolving those issues. Have you done your best?

See this one! So, because you yourself claim to be of Jesus Christ's followers whom you know absolutely nothing of that means we should ignore every single lie/evidence to the contrary you have revealed here , abi?

∆ “There is no better way to overpower a twinkle of doubt than the sincerity of naked truth -By G.D. Damabel.

“Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered 1 Peter 3:7.
I do not believe in contextual insinuations but I always tick the scale in favour of the context of the the content of the text.
Does the context of that verse above define fully the nature of a woman or does it expressly portray men as the stronger vessel in any ramification?.
∆ I believe women are more emotional not because they are weak but the anticipation and sometimes the unconscious anxieties that the serpent who discredited them before God and man is still in their garden.
∆ I do hold that, a woman's earnest desire for perfection and to remain chaste is the greatest contributing factor of her being emotional.
But are men excluded from emotion?. Remember Jesus said the other day that the flesh is weak but the spirit is willing referring to male disciples

---

.

1. That verse is a statement made by the person of Peter and not Jesus Christ who instead made clear that all are equals in His the Kingdom of God and would be judged by the very same standard.

2. All humans have emotions. So what has that to do with being strong or weak? And what part does any of that have to do with living the life that is worthy of Jesus Christ?

Quoting from the letters of Paul which you obviously have little or no true grasp of will not change any of the damning statements you have made to this point against the God of Israel and Jesus Christ, His Son..

I've spent 27 years in Lagos now and still don't know how to speak Yoruba. Because the original owner of the language themselves are full of hate

That is mentally retarded thing to say. If the people are full of hate, it is all the more reason you learn the language so you can figure them out. Claiming you refuse to learn the language because the people are full of hate all while you remain there with them decade after decade speaks against your intelligence.

"■ And they overcame him by the blood of the lamb and by the word of their testimony. "

See what ignorance does to a blind. An intelligent being after reading that verse you quoted would ask , "they who overcame how?" But sadly, Gullible Nigerians woulld instead latch on to any lie that is fed to them by others without giving first respect to God.

The only permission Jesus Christ gave men where it concerns His blood is that those who are His drink as a sign of the eternal agreement that they are bound to in Him - Matthew 26 vs 28 - 30 & John 6 vs 25 - 57. Jesus Christ never gave to men authority to use His blood as in pagan rituals to cover their bodied and furniture with. But here you boldly beat your chest that you do that which Jesus Christ never authorized and I expect you want us to believe it works because your pastors and mogs told you it does, abi ?

■ So, you have finally agreed with me that the church is not under the Law of Moses. We are not under obligation to keep the Law of Moses.

oluwatunde1984:
Why did Jesus say, 'No one is good but God alone' if He is God?
This passage as a whole was not about Jesus
making some false distinction between Himself
and God, but rather about pointing out some of
the barriers that keep people from becoming
followers of Christ.
The quote "No one is good except God alone"
also likely alluded to Psalm 14:3 where it is
written, "there is none who does good, not even
one." This shows that Jesus used Scripture to
answer the man's first question from Psalms as
well as from the Ten Commandments (Exodus
20). The man sought to receive eternal life
from the Law; Jesus called the man to faith in
Himself for salvation.
The apostles would emphasize this contrast
between the law and salvation by faith
repeatedly in the New Testament. Ephesians
2:8-9 states, "For by grace you have been saved
through faith. And this is not your own doing; it
is the gift of God, not a result of works, so
that no one may boast." John 1:17 teaches,
"For the law was given through Moses; grace
and truth came through Jesus Christ."[

These are clearly two disconnected ideas that you attempted here to bind together.

kay1one2:
Lets see how well your "good works" wash yours away!

Faith which is earned to through living of one's life in continuous submission and obedience to God's commandments and teachings in Jesus Christ is the Way to come to know the Truth of God and be set free from Slavery to Sin - John 8 vs 31 - 44. There is no other way specified by Jesus Christ.

■ Is Jesus equal to or lesser than?
JOH 10:30 I and my Father are one.
JOH 14:28 Ye have heard how I said
unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me,
ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my
Father is greater than I.

This here more than shows that Scripture is not the source of your confusion.

Jesus Christ, in His Gospel, made it abundantly clear that not only did He not come to replace the God of Israel meaning He is not Himself the God of Israel, He also had to submit to the Will of the God of Israel even as He sits as Master(God) over those given to Him by the God of Israel.

truthman2012:
∆ Testimonies abound of Muslims who had direct contact with Jesus and some in dreams. On such occasions Jesus directed them to Christianity and they became born again. We have heard of people Jesus spoke to even in Mecca during Islamic pilgrimage and they returned home confessing Jesus Christ. We have not had a situation where Jesus appeared to a Christian and directed him/her to Islam. The question therefore is: if Islam is also from God, why would Jesus take the elect away from it?

Jesus Christ does absolutely nothing of what you think there. This is since Jesus Christ is against Religion including Christianity.

Dsimmer:
∆ They were lording it over everyone hence the reason why they felt they were right and even came to ask Jesus about it. Jesus told them it wasn't so from the beginning but Moses only allowed it for them because of their lust. He didn't condemn Moses who gave them the principle.

Again, When you get tired of the many suppositions and baseless claims, let me know.

Dsimmer:
■ I simply quoted the scripture. For example, Jesus did spoke on the marriage when he was asked. He didn't condemn the Jews but simply told them that they shouldn't be thinking of lording it over others like they were doing because Moses only allowed it for them because of their lust.
■ Aside that, he also had his law and justice which included stoning those who committed adultery and that was sanctioned by God too. As I said, even if the Jewish law makers didn't carry it out, Satan was there to carry it out. It was this law and justice that Jesus' mercy came to intercede.
■ And yes, the veil of the temple split to show the inner to everyone after Jesus breathed his last breath. Which means everyone can come into God's grace.

You quoted scripture? More like you have been twisting scripture up and down. For example, Jesus Christ never said any of what you claim here.

2. What you said makes no sense at all. Satan was where to carry what out? What in the world?

3. Now you jump to another random verse to make yet another claim that is not of Scripture. Jesus Christ never said that God's grace came to everyone so again, these baseless claims of yours are not of Scripture but of your mind alone.

Dsimmer:
■ As I said, Paul did nothing wrong by coming up with some principles to oversee some affairs. Moses did too. There was a time when Jesus spoke on marriage when he was asked about it and stated that marriage had always been about two people since time immemorial but Moses allowed more for them because of their lust. That was some of Moses' principles for example.
■ Another was Moses' cold law and justice which included stoning those who sinned. That was also sanctioned by God which was the justice aspect of God speaking. Even if the justice wasn't carried out by the Jewish law makers, Satan was always ready to do the justice anyway 😂. However, Jesus came to ensure mercy persists through his salvation.
■ As for Jesus coming only to the Jews, yeah, he was indeed sent to the Jews (one of the reason why I'm still wondering where Yoruba factored in because Yoruba religion also knows about Ela/Jewesun). So while Jesus was sent to the Jews, however his salvation was for all. Remember the veil of the temple split when he died. Which means everyone can come into God's grace but the Jews first.

When you get tired of the many suppositions and baseless claims, let me know.

■Acts 15:23-24
23 And they wrote letters by them after this manner; The APOSTLES and ELDERS and brethren send greeting unto the brethren which are of the Gentiles in Antioch and Syria and Cilicia:
24 Forasmuch as we have heard, that certain which went out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls, saying, Ye must be circumcised, and keep the law: to whom WE GAVE NO SUCH COMMANDMENTS.
■ It seems you are greater than the Apostles and Elders of the early Church put together who said that the law of Moses should not be imposed on the Gentiles. Read the entire Chapter 15 of the book of Acts.

I see language comprehension seems a major part of your confusion as well.

22 The apostles, the elders, and the whole church wanted to send some men with Paul and Barnabas to Antioch. The group decided to choose some of their own men. They chose Judas (also called Barsabbas) and Silas, men who were respected by the believers.
23 The group sent the letter with these men. The letter said: From the apostles and elders, your brothers, To all the non-Jewish brothers in the city of Antioch and in the countries of Syria and Cilicia. Dear Brothers:
24 We have heard that some men have come to you from our group. What they said troubled and upset you. But we did not tell them to do this.
25 We have all agreed to choose some men and send them to you. They will be with our dear friends, Barnabas and Paul.
26 Barnabas and Paul have given their lives to serve our Lord Jesus Christ.
27 So we have sent Judas and Silas with them. They will tell you the same things.
28 We agree with the Holy Spirit that you should have no more burdens, except for these necessary things:
29 Don’t eat food that has been given to idols. Don’t eat meat from animals that have been strangled or any meat that still has the blood in it. Don’t be involved in sexual sin. If you stay away from these, you will do well. We say goodbye now. - Acts 15 vs 22 - 29

The disciples of Jesus Christ could not give the Law of Moses as an instruction to any man because Jesus Christ warned them not to store New Wine in Old Wine Skin. Their refusal to teach others to follow the Law of Moses was in obedience to the teachings and commandments of Jesus Christ, the one who instructed them not to put New Wine in Old Wine Skin. They agreed with the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ and as such stayed clear of teaching people to follow the Law of Moses in Jesus Christ.

2. Please stop deceiving yourself thinking you deceive others. What continues to remain glaring even up until now is the fact that when it comes to the knowledge of God of Israel and His Son Jesus Christ, you are even more empty than many who don't even pretend to know Him. It is not too late to abandon all this false living of yours.

Dsimmer:
■ There are principles which govern society. Even Moses had his own law. So Paul did nothing wrong by coming up with some principles to oversee some affairs. However, his major basis was preaching the gospel.
■ Jesus came as the chief high priest after Moses to abolish Moses' law and provide grace and mercy through his salvation.
■ Bathsheba adultery wasn't known. Besides, David covered for her. However, she had the wrath of God. She and David incurred the wrath of God until God later had mercy on them.
■ So the wrath of God was immediate in the old time. Today, Jesus justifies through his salvation however, it doesn't mean one should continue to do evil. That was why Paul said "you can't continue to live in sin yet expect grace to abound"

1. The Principle that God meant to govern the society that was His Israel in the Land of Canaan was the Old Law of Moses which He gave through Moses to the people of Israel. That Law consists of approximately 613 commandments and statutes which God of Israel mandated His people to live by warning them never to subscribe to any other Law(God) but the one He gave to them. You accusing Moses of having added his ideas to that which was stipulated by God amounts to accusing Moses of sinning against God of Israel.

Again, accusing Paul of going against the law as stipulated by Jesus Christ who is the Law in His own Kingdom amounts to accusing Paul of sinning against God.

2. Jesus Christ never abolished the Law of Moses. Jesus Christ said this HImself but I see His words are meaningless to you. The Law of Moses is an Eternal Covenant.

3. Arrggh! She wasn't known! What an interesting excuse from a mind that seems full and quick with assumptions but barely any facts.

4. The wrath of God was immediate in the Old-time yet God of Israel did not see fit to condemn the Nation of Israel for all their sins against Him until around 720 BC, and the same God stayed His final Judgment against the Nation of Judah until about 70AD. All this proves is that you have been simply parroting ignorant talk you have heard from equally ignorant men and women out there.

Dsimmer:
■ Paul preached the Gospel. Gospel is simply Jesus Christ. Paul did come up with some few laws/principles of his to create order/oversee some affairs but his major basis was preaching the gospel.
■ Btw, the old law came to be because men came to know both the good and the bad. In order to prevent chaos as a result of man's evil inclination to do bad things, the 10 commandments were rendered. Jesus simplified it when he broke into two which is 1. Love God. 2. Love your neighbor. If you love your neighbor, you wouldn't steal his or her things or want to harm him or her unwarranted etc.
■ Speaking of the adulterous woman, if it were in the old time, she wouldn't even have been in the position to meet Jesus to begin with because if Satan hadn't rendered justice on her like Satan usually does 😂, Moses' law would have rendered justice, carried out by the law makers. Heck, she was about to be stoned by the people until Jesus interference. In the old time, people always got their punishment which was the basis of the old testament. However, there are times when God intercede even in the old testament. David for example. David did pray that he rather wanted to fall in God's hands in terms of punishment rendered because he knew God was merciful. That's why God said he would have mercy on whom he would have mercy on in the old testament. In the new testament though, the coming of Jesus made the grace abounds for everyone who believes in him. He's the bridge for mercy, wisdom and salvation. Of course, this doesn't mean such person should continue to do evil and in fact, if anyone continues to do evil, the moral law of the society should handle that. For example, useless terrorists must be dealt with!

1. The information contained in Paul's letters holds less than 0.1 % of the Gospel preached by Jesus Christ. And your claim that He came up with some laws/principles of his own to add to it directly violates the Gospel and God's Old Law.

1 “Now, Israel, listen to the laws and to the commands that I teach you. Obey them and you will live. Then you can go in and take the land that the Lord, the God of your ancestors, is giving you.
2 You must not add to what I command you. And you must not take anything away. You must obey the commands of the Lord your God that I have given you. - Deuteronomy 4 vs 1 - 2

There is a similar law found in the Gospel in Matthew 15 vs 1 - 10 & Mark 7 vs 1 - 13.

2. Everything you have said thus far of the Old Law is untrue. The Old Law is the National Constitution of the Nation of Israel Constituted by the God of Israel in the Land of Canaan. That Law is an Eternal Agreement between God of Israel and the people of Israel and the Law stands today just as it did when it was given to Moses and the people almost 2500 years ago. Those of us born under it can attest to the heaviness of weight of its curse which we were condemned by.

Jesus Christ is God's New Eternal Agreement and National Constitution in the Kingdom of God — God's special Nation of Priests—, a Kingdom not of this world. Both agreements are Eternal meaning that Heaven and Earth will pass before even a jot of the Law ever will.

3. Suppositions. Bathsheba committed adultery with David yet she was not immediately stoned by those around her. You assume too much.

Maksky:
Ask a Trinitarian for evidence of the divinity of Jesus and they will undoubtedly direct you to Gospel of John. Evidence put forward from this Gospel is ambiguous at best and often taken out of context or misinterpreted. Remove the Gospel of John from the New Testament equation and there is very little left in the Trinitarian’s armoury to appeal to for evidence of the divinity of Jesus. If you take away this Gospel, any Biblical foundation for the Trinity, ambiguous or otherwise, comes crashing down. So from a Trinitarian’s perspective the stakes for the Gospel of John are very high. The link below gives 10 reasons that the Gospel of John is not a reliable historical account of the life and teachings of Jesus:

So because of Trinitarian delusion, you would that the writings of a man who walked with Jesus Christ be discarded? I hope you have altogether abandoned the Christian delusion as well since this.

oluwatunde1984:
Should we conclude from this that God is on the side of the
poor and opposes the rich? This is a tempting conclusion and one that is endorsed by some very prominent people in the Church, but is it supported by a careful reading of Scripture?

God's mandate to men has always been obedience to His Law. So, whether you are poor or rich on earth does not matter at all. What matters is that you obey God's Law, and according to the Law, Jesus Christ, it is those who are poor in Spirit — Jesus Christ is the Law of Spirit and all those who seek Him must do so in Spirit and Truth. In Matthew 13 vs 44-46, Jesus Christ likened Heaven to treasures that can only be bought by selling all of one's possessions on this earth.

44 “God’s kingdom is like a treasure hidden in a field. One day a man found the treasure. He hid it again and was so happy that he went and sold everything he owned and bought the field.
45 “Also, God’s kingdom is like a merchant looking for fine pearls.
46 One day he found a very fine pearl. He went and sold everything he had to buy it. - Matthew 13 vs 44 - 46

And then in Matthew 19, Jesus Christ explained how it would be impossible for a rich man to enter into Heaven with his riches of course.

21 Jesus answered, “If you want to be perfect, then go and sell all that you own. Give the money to the poor, and you will have riches in heaven. Then come and follow me!”
22 But when the young man heard Jesus tell him to give away his money, he was sad. He didn’t want to do this, because he was very rich. So he left.
23 Then Jesus said to his followers, “The truth is, it will be very hard for a rich person to enter God’s kingdom.
24 Yes, I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter God’s kingdom.” - Matthew 19 vs 21 - 24

Dsimmer:
■ Paul was only telling the gospels which the Greeks, Romans etc already accepted when they came to enslave the Jews, even before Paul became a preacher. Why do Arabs even have a problem with Paul? Wetin concern them with Paul? E concern them to begin with?
■ On the topic, it was the law and justice of Moses that was abolished. I don't think the 10 commandments was, even as Jesus fulfilled it. The 10 commandments ain't bad itself. It's simply moral code of the world. I mean no one would like anyone stealing huge money/partner from him for example. So the law is to implement order and balance. However back then, the punishment rendered to an offender who did only little was so grave. Such grave punishment was rendered to anyone who broke any of the commandments which included Moses law, even if the commandment broken was only minimal. That was the justice and wrath aspect of God being rendered through Satan who was only obeying God's word by serving Justice to anyone who broke the law. His own was to test one's integrity and render justice as fits.
■ But the coming of Jesus was to depict God's merciful nature and ensure abundant grace and mercy persists, even if one broke the law. For example, Jesus pardoned the adulterous woman. He also didn't condemn Mary Magdalene who was a prostitute. He also forgave Zaccheus who was a greedy thief stealing more money than required from others than what his job asked of him. Well, Jesus is the one who now justifies and Zaccheus did restitution too
■ Anyways, we can now say while law should be without mercy however justice can be rendered with mercy, especially if it warrants it. [/b]For example, I once mentioned how the sentence of an old poor man who stole food to eat was lessened for example. His sentence was quite lessened. That's justice rendered with mercy 💤
■ Meanwhile, there's Nothing wrong in God using a human vessel. [b]He created Human in his own image to begin with.

1. Paul's supposed letters contained less than 0.1% of the gospels.

2. These statements of yours are to a great deal false.

3. None of this is true at all. This is all taken from an angle that screams a great lack of understanding of how God's mercy works. God's mercy DOES NOT wipe away a person's sins. Rather, it is up to that person to repent(change his own life and way and seek instead obedience to God's Law). And God's mercy, you speak of, is poured out daily from God on all of mankind, even on the wicked and the ungrateful. So to claim that it was God's mercy that saved Mary Magdalene because she was a prostitute and Zaccheus... this all screams of blatant ignorance of Scripture.

4. It was in the Old Law that God of Israel declared that He would have mercy on whomever He wished to have mercy on. So why in the world would you declare that the same Old Law was without mercy? Doesn't that reveal that you have no real knowledge of what it is you are commenting on?

5. God did not create all men in His Image. Rather, Adam was the man that God created in His image and certified to be of good quality too. But we all know that Adam fell and all men have since then been born of that fallen image of Adams which is removed from the image of God that Adam was first created in.

God can use anyone but God made clear that He chose only the people of Israel for His own in the land of men. This implies His major interest remains only with those who are of the blood of Jacob.

Ken4Christ:
■ John 1:17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. Does this verse make sense to you? I know you will still want to argue. I don't blame you. You are carnal and the carnal man cannot receive the things of God.
■ Even all the Apostles and Elders of the early church agreed that the Law of Moses should not be imposed on the Gentiles.

Lol.. you seem to think that blindly quoting Scripture is the way to make yourself seem smart by a 1/2 but all this does is reveal even more the emptiness you make of knowing Jesus Christ and the God of Israel.

To those of us who failed to meet up with the standard that is God's Old Law of Moses, those who refused to obey the Old Law and obtain grace(Eternal Life) through obeisance to it only to end up condemned to die for our disobedience- Deuteronomy 28 vs 15 - 57 & Leviticus 26 vs 12 through the end, God gave another change at Grace(Eternal Life) and this time His Truth through Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ came to offer us, those convicted and damned by God another chance at redemption. He is the Eternal Life(grace) of God, the Truth of God, and the Way by which those who are penitent can seek redemption and hence journey back to the graces of the Father as His servants in His Kingdom of Priests.

That verse you quoted does not say that Grace(Eternal life) was never available to those of the Old. It was, only not given freely as it was offered to us through Jesus Christ. However, that free offering is only the beginning for us as Eternal Damnation awaits those who do not meet the requirements of the new Law after that.

2. The Law of Moses should not be exposed to the Gentiles. Are you for real? Jesus Christ said that those who follow Him are of New Wine and Old Wine and New Wine should not be mixed. You don't seem to even clearly grasp what the Apostles said to avoid doing in the book of Acts either.

Blindly quoting Scripture in ignorance does not automatically bestow on you wisdom and understanding. It does the opposite. It shines a light that reflects the ignorance you are filled with. It exposes the darkness that Jesus Christ warned is in those who do not know Him or of Him. Your many contradictory claims thus far have more than shown you are not even born-again. You never started at all the journey that is Jesus Christ. You have been trying to wing it with head knowledge thinking you can beat the understanding that comes only from the Father to those who are of Him. It hasn't worked. You have wasted your years on this. I suggest you abandon this charade and go live your life well before it is too late for you.

∆ "Then Peter, turning around, saw THE DISCIPLE WHOM JESUS LOVED following... John 21:20.

You know I always wondered why John was called "the disciple whom Jesus loved"; who Christians today call 'John the beloved'.
Why was he referred to as the one that Jesus loved. Does that mean Jesus didn't love the other disciples? Of course not! It means John occupied a special place in Jesus' heart, much like our spouses and dear friends.
It's not that we don't love other people, but some persons are just special and dear to us, right? I reckon that's how Jesus considered John.
But what did He do differently from the others to be called "THE DISCIPLE WHOM JESUS LOVED"?
Here's a clue...

John himself wrote that to about the fact of his status at the time of his writing the gospel. Jesus Christ said in His Gospel that His Love is reserved only for those who live their lives in continuous submission and obedience of His teachings and commandments - John 15 vs 1 - 14 -- those approved Holy and Righteous by God under His New Covenant Law and Truth. John didn't mean that He was the only one loved by Jesus Christ but He was loved nonetheless.

oluwatunde1984:
∆ Does that mean God wants me to be poor on earth to make heaven? .....
∆ So in conclusion God wants us to be rich and wealthy and it has nothing to do with heaven, you can be rich and make heaven, just that Jesus said it's very hard for a rich man to enter into heaven

1. If you wish to make it into the Kingdom of God through the Narrow gate that leads to True Life, then yes, you must sell everything you have and give it to the poor in order to make it in otherwise, you will only enter through the Broad gate which leads to destruction aka Eternal Damnation.

2.This conclusion is ofcourse wrong given that Jesus Christ said that it will be impossible for a rich man -- man whose treasures are here on earth -- to enter into Heaven.
