Paul wasn't talking about divorce that's scriptural rather divorcing one's spouse on flimsy excuses remember he was addressing Christians who are from diverse cultural background while Jesus was addressing Jews who were misled by their greedy religious leaders. So the situation and heart condition of Paul's listeners differ from that of Jews listening to Jesus! |
chiedu7:The problem is POLITICS! Use politics to test all religions if you want to know the true religion because in the face of POLITICS false religion will fail to maintain the oneness in faith while true religion can never ever be subdued by POLITICS. Jesus said we should love our neighbors as ourselves {Mark 12:31} but with politics that is extremely impossible! ![]()

I form light and create darkness, I make peace and create calamity; I, Jehovah, am doing all these things. Isaiah 45:7 Light is day and darkness is night, peace is water and calamity is fire all these things works for our good when used according to God's will but then it's the same water that we need to grow our crops, cool our thirst, wash and clean that our Creator used to destroy the generation of rebellious people in Noah's day. The sun is fire and it helps in the process that we know today as photosynthesis, warm the earth and fire also cook our food yet it's what God used to destroy Sodom and Gomorah but when Nebuchadnezzar decided to use fire like God the Creator turned it to air-conditioner for Shadrach, Meagan and Abednego. So what is the import of Isaiah 45:7? Jehovah is telling His loyal servants that there is no need to fear because the most harmful thing humans can think of He created it and can change it to harmless anytime He chose! ![]() |

Captain4Jehovah:Thank you! |
Kingsempires:That's why he is God's chosen model for all of us to follow his footsteps closely {1Peter 2:21} apart from him all others became imperfect through Adamic sin! Romans 5:12 |
Dtruthspeaker:Who is not mad to you? Kumuyi, Adeboye, Olukoya, Oyedepo, Mouka, Oyakilomeh all of them are mad to you and those following them. So you stands against all authorities and respect none! ![]() |
calabaman:You can't be a Christian without the organized group of people doing what Jesus commanded {Matthew 28:19-20} that's what the inhabitants of Antioch saw before calling them CHRISTIANS! Act 11:26 |
Wisewriter:Do you know better than Jesus the only begotten son of God? Well no one can please God except those who are practicing what Jesus taught! John 14:6 |
Wisewriter:Do you or your parents preach from house to house and door to door as commissioned by the founder of Christianity Jesus of Nazareth? Matthew 10:11-13 What is the message John the baptist, Jesus of Nazareth and his disciples preached? If you don't know these things then you were a churchgoer and not a Christian! ![]() |
CodeTemplarr:You didn't get the sense of what Paul said in that verse! Jesus Christ RECEIVED GIFTS from people {Matthew 8:15} his apostles RECEIVED GIFTS from people {Luke 10:3-7} and Paul who wrote what you just quoted also RECEIVED GIFTS from people. So believers in Bible times often receive gifts from their fellow worshipers {Act 11:29} that's what Paul is encouraging Christians to continue doing among themselves. And of course true Christians (Jehovah's Witnesses) are still doing so till today. A good example is what rich brothers and sisters and others living in rich countries shared to support those in need during COVID-19 lockdown! |
Btruth:The parable has a deeper meaning but unfortunately most people took it literally! Note the following points: * The victim is a Jew so the robbers are surely people from that region also because thieves don't operate without the support of inhouse backup. * They took everything he has and left him half dead. * There are bruises all over his body due to the attack of those robbers. * Jewish religious leaders who are from his own race saw but ignored him. * It was a Samaritan (people the Jews despised with great contempt) that took care of him using his own money. ° The victim means a religious person who fell into the hands of false prophets and surely such false prophets can't be people of another country but his own nationality. ° The things they took from him are his material possessions, time, energy and effort which later made him feel there is no God meaning he has now become an atheist or agnostic (half dead) ° The bruises are feelings of regret as he continues to count his losses over the years in false religion. ° Other religious leaders in the same area notice and ignore him completely after all he's no longer going to give any other religion such attention or his material possessions again. As for the Samaritan i will leave you to figure out on your own if you think what i just said makes some sense. But let me give you an expo! Jesus' real disciples are assigned to: .....speak consolingly to those who are depressed, support the weak, be patient toward all. 1Thessalonians 5:14 I'm sure you can figure out those who are spending their time, resources and energy in doing this in your neighborhood! ![]() |
Dtruthspeaker:Oh i forgot your KJV used wrong words! So if Noah and Job were PERFECT before God then how come Jesus said: "Truly I say to you, among those born of women, there has not been raised up anyone greater than John the Baptist but a lesser person in the Kingdom of the heavens is greater than he is" Matthew 11:11 Perhaps you people don't understand what Paul meant when he wrote: For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Romans 3:23 So if there are PERFECT humans then of what need is Jesus to set the model for all mankind? John 3:16 Perhaps Noah and Job don't need the blood of Jesus to be saved from their sins: That is why, just as through one man sin entered into the world and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because they had all sinned. Romans 5:12 |

Captain4Jehovah:OK, you don't even know the meaning of that word "PERFECT" Well let me help you. Is there any human who lived throughout his life without a sin? For your information this is what Jesus Christ himself said regarding perfection in the sight of God. "Truly I say to you, among those born of women, there has not been raised up anyone greater than John the Baptist, but a lesser person in the Kingdom of the heavens is greater than he is" Matthew 11:11 Please were Abel and Enoch born of women? Did they lived before or after John the baptist? According to Jesus even John the baptist is not perfect like Born Again Christians whose part in God's Kingdom is to dwell in heaven and the Born Again brothers of Christ were selected after the early Christians were baptized with the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. So if we are to talk about perfection it could only be possible after the baptism by God's Holy Spirit without which no one can put on the New Personality {Ephesians 4:22-24} and according to Paul and James (Jesus' brother) nobody is perfect! Romans 7:15-25; James 3:2 |
achorladey: achorladey:So why jump into the discussion if you are only coming to yarn off point? Please let me know whenever you're ready to talk on point . CJStarz:Thanks for your time! ![]() |
Dtruthspeaker:Always calling everyone devil for having faith that differs from your self-centered thinking. Just quote where it's written. Thanks! ![]() |
achorladey:When did Paul die? When did the Bible reach America? ![]() |
Captain4Jehovah:Please mention one perfect man in the Bible! ![]() |
Elohimisgood:So are you saying God doesn't understand other languages? ![]() |
Is it the language that matters to God or doing what He says? |
achorladey:If you don't want the truth there's no reason to waste my precious time on you but to make everyone know that you don't understand what Paul meant answer these two questions: When did Paul die? When did the Bible reach America? ![]() |
Petalss:If truthfully that's what you are doing then you don't have to mention my name when taking ideas from others because i will prove to you that only Jehovah's Witnesses have the truth. Instead of allowing them to dribble you just ask of the name of the church that's practicing what each person believes at least that should tell you whether it's each person's personal idea or the result of a research made by a team of believers! Matthew 18:20 ![]() |
Kingsempires:That's exactly what Satan designed to piss you off from identifying the true Christian group! ![]() |
johnw47:Your folly is obvious as you can't speak without insulting others whereas there is nothing new here neither in your churches that's why you can't mention the name of your church because you know whatever you accuse others of is happening in all your churches! ![]() |
Petalss:I have given you the correct interpretation but since you're a Muslim i know you don't care to know its practical application rather you only want to see people claiming Christians arguing against one another. The truth is only one religion have the truth on this matter so if you're not interested in knowing that religion it's OK you can continue entertaining yourself. ![]() |
The pastor must have noticed his waywardness but condone it due to love of money, this man in question is a government official here is Africa all of us knows what that could mean for a church to have someone like that as a member: consistent huge tithing! So the pastor must have noticed his bad influence he just look away since the man has been paying his tithes handsomely now is the time to pay for his negligence! |
So it's by speaking against what God's spirit is achieving in the gathering of imperfect humans that's unforgivable! Matthew 12:31-32 The qualities of God's Holy Spirit are LOVE, JOY, PEACE, PATIENCE, KINDNESS, GOODNESS, MILDNESS, FAITH and SELF-CONTROL {Galatians 5:22-23} these qualities are aliens to our personality as sinful imperfect humans so it's difficult for any human to meet up with all these qualities no matter how much we try {Romans 7:15-25} but then when 2 or 3 gather to practice what Jesus taught {Matthew 18:20} God's Holy Spirit will help them to do things orderly and if any observer watches closely he or she will notice that these group is acting in a strange way that's contrary to sinful nature of humans. WHY? Because the spirit of God is permeating their gathering {John 14:26-27} of course each of them can't exhibit all the qualities of these spirit but as they come together they will continue to encourage one another through their gathering to keep on doing what is good! Hebrew 10:24-25 Whoever sees such and start speaking against the gathering is sinning against God's Holy Spirit because all the qualities of God's spirit will be noticeable as they come together to do God's will {Matthew 5:14-16; 7:16-18} so anyone speaking against them will not be forgiven since there is nothing to say against the qualities of God's Holy Spirit perceived in the gathering of imperfect humans! Galatians 5:23b ![]() |
Captain4Jehovah:What Jesus is saying here means perfection is what we need to gain everlasting life remember that scriptures said: ALL have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Romans 3:23 It's sin that made us fall short of God's glory so we must become perfect in other to regain the lost glory but that's not possible unless we are given a long time to learn from Jesus and know where we are lacking in order to completely put away that old personality and put on the new one {Ephesians 4:22-24} that's what the thousand years reign of Christ will make possible. Most of you don't know and instead of asking {Matthew 7:7-8} you just feel that claiming you believe in Jesus or shouting his name makes you a believer. For your information Jesus will reign for 1,000 years {Revelations 20:1-5} and he must hand over back to his God and Father {1Corinthians 15:26-28} it means within that thousand years everyone living on planet earth must become like Jesus in thoughts, words and actions during that time whoever feels he or she doesn't need Jesus will only live as a youth for a hundred years after their resurrection and such ones will die without getting sick or growing old {Isaiah 65:20} why? Because such ones despised God's purpose for everlasting life! John 3:16 So for now nobody can become perfect within the short lifespan we have what God requires of us now is MEEKNESS and RIGHTEOUSNESS {Zephaniah 2:2-3} with that we will be granted a Visa to be in the Kingdom of Christ under his 1,000 years reign {Luke 23:43} where we will not be troubled by sickness, death, criminals or confusion of false religions because by then Satan would have been completely rendered inactive! Revelations 20:1-3 |
Captain4Jehovah:You don't get what i'm saying at all! First of all what you just typed is pure lie God never said those who are going to heaven must become perfect first that's why you can't mention anyone who is perfect throughout the Bible except Jesus of Nazareth. Secondly the grace of God doesn't mean those who are practicing evil things will be shielded rather the grace comes to work where we are lacking while we are still struggling to meet up with all the qualities of the spirit so it's our willingness that God wants to see! ![]() |
