LOVE is God's number one predominant attribute! 1John 4:8

You can't truly LOVE yourself without God. WHY?
Because man's IQ is low {Jeremiah 10:23} even when he wants to protect himself man will run into danger! Proverbs 29:25
The first thing that shows you love yourself is when you're able to get the benefits of living not just doing things the conventional way! 1John 2:15-17
So the first step is to search for God with all your heart by thoroughly meditating on the origin of life, What brought you here? What is the purpose of life? Who is the cause of life? Is there anyway you can get close to Him?

The answers to all these questions will lead you to knowing secrets about where we find ourselves (earth) and how to live successfully in it! Proverbs 2:1-5

First you claimed it was the Law that I knew nothing. So now you claim instead that I know nothing of mystery of grace and reality?
The only mystery there is is the one you continue to scam your way into creating there for yourself. God made His Truth known to all those who will submit to Him in obedience.

Faith is Jesus Christ? Did Jesus Christ tell you this or did you conjure that one up thinking it could sound cool if you said it? Learn to invest time trying to comprehend what you read please. That verse there tells you that person is not the person but is instead to be had in the person. Declaring that Jesus Christ is faith is akin to suggesting Jesus Christ can be as small as a mustard seed.

What dark heart? What mystery did you store up in it?

Jesus Christ told you who He is.. He is the Way, the Truth and the Life... He is not faith that "grows" over periods and effort in you.

You want me to stop using my natural understanding to process the Bible yet even in my natural reasoning, it is clear that you don't even have understanding of any kind of that which you continue to ramble on about.

Jesus Christ said that you should use the understanding you have- to those who have, more will be give. And to those who do not have- that which they have will be taken away from them.

I use the understanding I have, cause that is what Jesus Christ commands, and I gain more for it since I don't create lies by such. You on the other hand create in your mind mysteries by which you further deceive yourself. Pray tell! Are you certain that I do wrong by accepting and working with Truth as is, instead of seeking out dubious ways to convolute it - turn it into lies?

Kobojunkiee:
Sin is disobedience of the Law in our case, Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is the Law that defines sin for us where the Kingdom of God is concerned. So, when you lust in your heart, what you do, as one who claims to believe in Jesus Christ is your sin against the Law, Jesus Christ, and against God.
Where it concerns the Law of God, I am afraid you are so off base that I couldn't reel you in if I tried.

Now Faith refers, however, to the obedience to the commandments of the Law, trusting in the Truth of Jesus Christ. When you chose to accept(trust) and obey the commandments in the law, that action or choice is your faith in God and so in a way faith is the opposite of sin where the Law is concerned. The more you trust and obey the teachings/commandments of Jesus Christ, the Law, the more you increase your faith.

Grace, on the other hand, is the sum total of resources God has made available to help lead you back to Him and to the accomplishing of His Will in your life... In the New Covenant, grace is another word for "eternal life" and that eternal life is what you are given in place of Death when you first believe(obey the command to believe in Jesus Christ in order to be saved).

Kobojunkiee:
I am sorry, I don't see the relevance of this passage to the conversation thus far. Does anything expressed by Paul here change what God declared of His New Covenant, Jesus Christ, or something?

You say I know nothing yet you have not shown that you even understand the meaning in any of the passages you continue posting. Are you certain I am the one who knows nothing here?
Again, you quote a passage irrelevant to your line of arguing as far as this conversation and topic but continue to insist that I am the one who knows nothing?

You keep mentioning something about times and seasons but you don't even seem to know what it applies to as far as what Jesus Christ said of such so why do you continue? Please take time to in fact process your post to see how disconnected this has been to this conversation.

Kobojunkiee:
Are you certain that I am the ignorant one here? God Himself announced through His Prophets that He was sending a new agreement/Law and that Law is embodied in the life and person of Jesus Christ. God said of His New Covenant, that He will install His Spirit inside of His own and cause them to obey His comamndments
I am afraid it is instead that you do not know who Jesus Christ truly is, and that He is God's New Covenant Law sent for you to submit to and obey.
There are at least 7 Covenants/Laws defined in the entired Bible, of which the Old Covenant Law of Moses, Law in the land of Canaan, is just one of them. Jesus Christ, the New Covenant Law of the Kingdom of God, is another of God's Laws.

Here's a bit of something else you don't know. If you understood anything of Laws, you would have known that the Old Covenant Law of Moses never applied to you and your kind(gentiles) to begin with since it is made clear in scripture that God Himself excluded the rest of the world from that Covenant.
God made that Covenant only with the Children of Israel(and the foreigners who live among them) in the land of Canaan. So it is meaningless for you to harp, day and night, about a covenant, that never applied to you or your ancestors, claiming you are dead in some way to it when you were never born alive to it in the first place.

Stop deceiving yourself with the meaningless and wake up to the reality of who God said Jesus Christ is to you. He is the New Covenant Law that God sent to you and until you submit to Him and His teachings... you will continue to stand against the Truth of God.

Romans 2:11 For there is no respect of persons with God.

2:12 For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law;

2:13 (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.

2:14 For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:



2:15 Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another

2:16 In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel.

Kobojunkiee:
Why do you continue to invent new terms for what amounts to nothing when one attempts to dig down to the grain?

Is God not Law, and is Jesus Christ not God's New Covenant Law?
Speak clearly and not in meaningless terms, please.

Kobojunkiee:
That's actually a compliment?
What many of you refuse to open your minds to is your arrogance towards the things of God is that God is Law!
Yeah, God is Law and Jesus Christ is His New Covenant Law to you..

Kobojunkiee:
Regardless of what you think of your flesh, know that you cannot do that which God commanded of you if you do not first learn to love yourself.

God commands that you love others AS YOU LOVE YOUR OWN SELF - Do onto Others as you will like for them to do to you. That demand that you learn to love your own self in a way that you are able to love others just the same and even more(your enemies).

LisaAnneMia:
Jesus said something like that in John. He was talking about Holy Communion and that was confirmed when He gave His disciples bread and wine. You literally have to partake of His flesh and blood, and not pray to have His flesh and blood

LisaAnneMia:
You can pray to experience His love in your life, but it's only when you're filled with His love for you before you can love(either yourself or others). We love because He first loved us. 1 John 4:19

ARE YOU A BIAFRAN?
Those who arrested and sentenced Isaac Adaka Boro to death for declaring Niger Delta Republic were neither Hausa-Fulanis nor Yorubas but two supposed brothers of his and Biafrans named Odumegwu Ojukwu and Aguiyi Ironsi who were still on the side of Gambaris and still trying to please them as at then. For declaring Niger-Delta Republic Ironsi, the then military head of state, ordered Ojukwu to get Isaac Boro arrested for treason.
Ojukwu, in an attempt to please Gambaris, fought Isaac Boro for 14 days within which he used federal might of “one-Nigeria” to kill 150 soldiers loyal to Isaac Boro, caught Isaac Boro, stripped him naked and sent him over to Lagos where Ironsi charged him to court and within just 2 months got him convicted, at the Supreme Court, of treasonable felony of trying to break away from Azikiwe’s one Nigeria, got him sentenced to death by hanging. While Ironsi​ and Ojukwu did all that to Isaac Boro​, they left untouched their own Igbo brother soldiers who planned a coup with which they killed Innocent Hausas, Yorubas, Niger Deltans, Middle belters leaving Igbo politicians unharmed despite they, like Zik and Okpara, were part and parcel of the corrupt Balewa government.
However, before Ojukwu and Ironsi could execute their sentence on Isaac Boro God intervened and the counter coup happened. Ironsi was overthrown and killed. Gowon took over declared Isaac Boro innocent and released him. But just fifteen months later Ojukwu too declared Biafra Republic due to the way Igbos were being killed in the North. In declaring Biafra, rather than first apologise to Isaac Boro for what he earlier did to him and then ask for his cooperation in fighting to realize the Biafra dream, Ojukwu did nothing like that but without consulting Boro at all went as far as arrogantly including in his Biafra map the very Niger Delta areas which Isaac Boro earlier tried to pull out of Nigeria and which he (Ojukwu) nearly killed him for.
This angered Isaac Boro and Ken Saro Wiwa who both pledged support for Gowon in order to teach Ojukwu a bitter lesson for his arrogance and dishonesty. That was why Isaac Boro and Saro Wiwa fought on the side of Gowon during the war. Naturally Isaac Boro couldn’t have come out of prison to join the Ojukwu who jailed him and fight against the Gowon who released him. It would have been absurd. No rational human being does that.
This is the truth of what happened and which Igbos hate to hear but prefer to blame everyone else as if they themselves were 100℅ innocent.
Igbos must learn to say the truth because if the Biafra/Niger Delta Republic they now seek is founded on lies and deliberate falsehood, like Nigeria, it will not stand but will soon become a failed state like Nigeria. We can’t leave Nigeria for another Nigeria.
But we however know that Igbos allergy to truth is incurable, therefore Niger-Delta states will never be part of Biafra
