I don't really think so God never intended Human to die He wanted them to live forever wasn't He coming to the Garden to Seek Their (Eve and Adams Company) and Chat with them it was their eating of the forbidden fruit ( Fruit of knowledge and wisdom)that angered Jehovah and made Him drive them out of the Garden!!
“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give to eat from the tree of life, which is in the midst of the Paradise of God.” Rev.2:7 NKJV |

Please also note, the major reason God kicked out man from the garden is so that he'll not also take and eat of the fruit of the tree of Life and live forever. Gen.3:22 |
Christianity Etc › Re: Truly, The Forbidden Fruit Is Sex! by kotaru: 9:38pm On Dec 23, 2023 |
Genesis 2:16-17 God commanded Adam not to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil...
Genesis 2:18 God considers making Adam a companion (woman)...
Genesis 2:21-22 God created a companion for Adam.
It is obvious from the sequence of events, as recorded in the bible, that Sex is not the Forbidden Fruit. This is because the commandment not to eat of the Forbidden Fruit came before the creation of women.
I don't know what the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil (Forbidden Fruit) is yet, but I know it is one of the trees in the garden of Eden.
I also do not know if anyone knows, or should even be claiming to know, except maybe by devine revelation, what that tree or it's fruit looks like, because God kicked out Adam and his woman out of the garden and placed an angel to guard the entrance. |

nelsonoba: Oga, you know both of us concluded our discussion yesterday because you are not interested in truth. You have made up your mind that you won't part with 10% of your money which you feel is too big for God. You are one of the kinds of 'christian' I fear to ever do business with, because a christian who sees 10% as too much to hand over to God that gave him the life he has MAY not think too much to defraud me of my 50% share from a business we do together, especially if he feels he can do it and get away with it somehow. I would rather do business with a total unbeliever who I know i have to watch with both eyes open until the business is concluded than do business with your type of greedy christian......except if i have no other choice at all. You're getting it all wrong, it is not about greed, but about doing what is right. No matter how long you hold unto a wrong doctrine it will not make it right. As a child of God you should be teachable, especially when there is ample scriptural prove. All forms of Legalistic ordinances (like Legalistic Tithing) will eventually birth self-righteousness or sin-consciousness , and this is very dangerous. There is no need for all this, Christ has brought a better way which is "Love". The Law is Bondage while Christ is Liberty. Please endeavor to read Acts 15:1-32. Shalom Shalom |

openmine: Romans 13:8-10 8 Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for whoever loves others has fulfilled the law. 9 The commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not covet,” and whatever other command there may be, are summed up in this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”10 Love does no harm to a neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.
Galatians 3:19-26
19 Now you’re asking yourselves, “So why did God give us the law?” God commanded His heavenly messengers to deliver it into the hand of a mediator for this reason: to help us rein in our sins until the Offspring, about whom the promise was made in the first place, would come. 20 A mediator represents more than one, but God is only one. 21 “So,” you ask, “does the law contradict God’s promise?” Absolutely not! Never was there written a law that could lead to resurrection and life; if there had been, then surely we could have experienced saving righteousness through keeping the law. But we haven’t. 22 Scripture has subjected the whole world to sin’s power so that the faithful obedience of Jesus the Anointed might extend God’s promises to everyone who has faith. 23 Before faith came on the scene, the law did its best to keep us in line, restraining us until the faith that was to come was fully revealed. 24 So then, the law was like a tutor, assigned to train us and point us to the Anointed, so that we will be acquitted of all wrong and made right by faith. 25 But now that true faith has come, we have no need for a tutor. 26 It is your faith in the Anointed Jesus that makes all of you children of God
Ephesians 2:11-19 11 So never forget how you used to be. Those of you born as outsiders to Israel were outcasts, branded “the uncircumcised” by those who bore the sign of the covenant in their flesh, a sign made with human hands. 12 You had absolutely no connection to the Anointed; you were strangers, separated from God’s people. You were aliens to the covenant they had with God; you were hopelessly stranded without God in a fractured world. 13 But now, because of Jesus the Anointed and His sacrifice, all of that has changed. God gathered you who were so far away and brought you near to Him by the royal blood of the Anointed, our Liberating King.
14 He is the embodiment of our peace, sent once and for all to take down the great barrier of hatred and hostility that has divided us so that we can be one. 15 He offered His body on the sacrificial altar to bring an end to the law’s ordinances and dictations that separated Jews from the outside nations. His desire was to create in His body one new humanity from the two opposing groups, thus creating peace. 16 Effectively the cross becomes God’s means to kill off the hostility once and for all so that He is able to reconcile them both to God in this one new body.
17 The Great Preacher of peace and love came for you, and His voice found those of you who were near and those who were far away. 18 By Him both have access to the Father in one Spirit. 19 And so you are no longer called outcasts and wanderers but citizens with God’s people, members of God’s holy family, and residents of His household.
Hebrews 7:11-12 11 If a perfect method of reconciling with God—a perfect priesthood—had been found in the sons of Levi (a priesthood that communicated God’s law to the people), then why would the Scripturesspeak of another priest, a priest according to the order of Melchizedek, instead of, say, from the order of Aaron? What would be the need for it? It would reflect a new way of relating to God 12 because when there is a change in the priesthood there must be a corresponding change in the law as well.
Hebrews 7:18-21 18 Because the earlier commandment was weak and did not reconcile us to God effectively, it was set aside— 19 after all, the law could not make anyone or anything perfect. God has now introduced a new and better hope, through which we may draw near to Him, 20 and confirmed it by swearing to it. 21 The Levite order of priests took office without an oath, but this man Jesus became a priest through God’s oath:
The Eternal One has sworn an oath and cannot change His mind: You are a priest forever.
God Bless you my Brother |

Please Brethren, also note that along with Legalistic Tithe, things like Redemption of 1st Born son, 1st Fruit offering and the likes have nothing to do with Christians. The only kinds of given advocated for in the early church is free will and Sacrificial.
The Principle of Give and it Shall be Given unto you holds true till time indefinite, but our confidence should be in the fact that God has already blessed us in Christ Jesus. So our giving should be more of a Ministry, we minister to the 'needs' of our spiritual Leaders and the less privileged. Let our lives be a light unto others. |

nelsonoba: When Jesus said "if any man looks lustfully on a woman, he has already committed adultery with her", was that also referring to Mosaic law only?
When Jesus said "it is written thou shall not commit murder, but i say to you that any one who is angry with his brother without a reason has already committed murder", was that also referring to the Mosaic law only?
When Apostle Paul was writing in Hebrews 7:1 - 8, especially where he said "And here men that die receive tithes; but there he receiveth them, of whom it is witnessed that he liveth", Was that also referring only to the Mosaic Law? At the time Paul wrote, were we still under the Mosaic law? Go and study Hebrews 7 very well.
JESUS SAID "I DID NOT COME TO ABOLISH THE LAW, BUT TO FULFIL IT".
The same Jesus that him and his disciples would sometimes not wash their hands before eating as was part of the ordinaces according to the Mosaic law, and the Pharisees would accost him to demand why they wouldn't wash their hands before eating, and Jesus would tell them that "it is what comes out of a man's heart that defiles him, and not what he eats".
FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, GOD DID NOT ABOLISH HIS LAWS(Just as Jesus said he didn't come to do so). Jesus only took away the ORDINANCES WHICH FORMED TRADITIONS OF MEN THAT WERE AGAINST US, AND THE BIBLE IS CLEAR IN DEFINING WHAT TYPES OF ORDINANCES WITHIN THE LAW THAT WERE ABOLISHED......such as not eating some kind of foods etc. Tithe was never mentioned among them. Not one place in the bible from old to new testament was it mentioned that tithe has now been done away with. THE GIVER OF THE LAW HIMSELF UPHELD TITHE IN MATTHEW 23:23, SO DADDY FREEZE IS A NOBODY TO TELL ME OTHERWISE! Acts 15:1-32, The Law and all its Legalistic ordianances (Like compulsory Tithe) are not for Gentile Christians (or Christians in general), but for the Children of Israel. |
Christianity Etc › Re: Daddy Freeze Is A Liar, Tithing Is Very Scriptural And Was Approved By Jesus by kotaru: 11:39am On Dec 18, 2018 |
@ alBHAGDADI, your article would have been correct if not that you were confusing "Tithing as a principle" and "Legalistic Tithing". Scripturally, Tithing as a principle is not under compulsion more of thanksgiving or for lack of a better word "conditional", but Legalistic Tithing is backed up by Law (Old Covenant) and is compulsory for all the children of Israel minus the Levites.
- the 'Legalistic' Laws of the Old Covenant had their purpose, but they have been done away with in Christ Jesus (New Covenant). Gal. 2:16-21; Gal. 3:15-29.
- Moreover, the issue of the 'Gentile' Christian following the 'Legalistic' Laws of the Old Covenant or not was resolved by the Apostles and early Church Elders in the book of Acts 15:1-32. Please, read this and be free
- What Tithing system do you think some of these modern day churches employ? Please, be truthful to yourself
Now, to everyone out there, it is dangerous for you to be in a church where they've agreed to be paying Tithe (as a Law) and you are not paying. Please look for a church where payment of Tithe is not an issue and fellowship there.
In truth, paying of tithe is scriptural and i recommend it's practice, not as a Law, but by a personal conviction as a result of Thanksgiving or payment of a vow unto God. Psalm 50:13-15. I thank you @ alBHAGDADI for this
Also, every individual or Institution promoting Legalistic Tithing must be very careful not to appear as working against the will of God for His church. The church is marching on, Shalom Shalom |
