Thoth02:Just as i thought! ![]() This is what i told you earlier: "i won't allow you to complicate the whole thing by jumping from one question to another in a bid to confuse interested followers".Because i know there is no God elsewhere apart from the Bible God. But i will oblige by answering you further and afterwards if you refused to answer the question i asked you i won't answer you again. Before i answer your questions this is what i asked you again: What has any other God promised and how have they been working towards the fulfillment of their promises? Isaiah 55:8-11Now these are answers to your questions: 1. Is knowledge Evil?You misconstrued the whole thing here because God wasn't hiding knowledge from the couple otherwise Adam couldn't have named all the animals in the garden if he had no knowledge {Genesis 2:19-20} what the tree represents is the evil which is HOW TO RULE OVER FELLOW HUMANS. Each of us is free to do whatever he or she likes but when it comes to our dealings with other humans we must solely rely on God to teach us how we can treat others right. That's the knowledge Adam and Eve seek. Note what the serpent said that interests the couple: "Your eyes will be opened and you will be like God, knowing good and bad." Genesis 3:5 So they wanted to become like Gods setting standards for others and not the standard God will set for us all. This is evil because it's the very reason why the world has not known peace until now! Ecclesiastes 4:1; 8:9 2. Why did God not allow man to eat of the tree of life after eating from the tree of knowledge, why drive them out.I have answered this in the other post so i will quote it out for you: The second tree is the antidotes of aging so if they were allowed to eat of it their aging will stop and they won't grow older again that's why God commanded two angels to prevent the rebellious couple from reaching out to it {Genesis 3:22-24} God later promised obedient descendants of Adam that this tree will be restored when He has forgiven us so that we can eat of its fruit to cure aging forever! Revelations 22:2 By telling them that God lied the serpent has set up something that needed to be settled so if they were allowed to eat of the tree of life then God would have become the LIAR as the tree will stop their aging and they will no longer die to see the damage the first tree caused! Now can you answer the question i asked you? |
The truth about pure worship is that God wants each of us to benefit maximally: Thus saith the LORD, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel; I am the LORD thy God which teacheth thee to profit, which leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go. O that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments! then had thy peace been as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea: Isaiah 48:17-18 Highlighted in blue talks about PROFIT while the red talks about PEACE and RIGHTEOUSNESS. But how do we profit and at the same time be righteous and still have peace? That's what Jesus of Nazareth came to teach us because most humans thought it's only when someone else loose that they can gain but Jesus taught us otherwise. How? Jesus made us to understand that there is one thing we seek in whatever we do: Happiness! So instead of focusing on ourselves Jesus taught us to think of how happy we will be when we put smile on the faces of others {Luke 6:38; Act 20:35} by so doing we will make triple profit: (1) We are happy to be the reason behind the smile on our neighbor's face. (2) Someone is happy due to what we did. (3) God is pleased because we believe in what His only begotten Son taught us. No wonder Jesus could say about those doing this: “Stop storing up for yourselves treasures on the earth, where moth and rust consume and where thieves break in and steal. Rather, store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consumes, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. Matthew 6:19-21 But how can we do this and be sure we aren't promoting greed? You will notice that throughout the Bible there is no single place where a servant of God gave a beggar money. Don't be surprised because there is no beggar among the worshipers of the true God {Psalms 23:1} but God's people used to assist one another when the need arises which means it's someone who has something doing they will assist not a professional beggar who doesn't want to do any work. So to practice the type of giving Jesus taught you must know your fellow believers because whatever you do to them you're giving God! Matthew 25:34-40 But when you give faithless miscreants who are greedy then instead of giving thanks to God for sending you to assist them they will start trailing you for more because from their thinking you must have too much before giving out since they weren't taught the same so you end up giving a robber who will come back to steal from you! ![]() |
Mysteriousworld:All angels are called "morning stars" {Job 38:7} Jesus also called himself the "bright morning star" Revelations 22:16 This shows that both Jesus and Satan are angels in heaven as they are all called God's sons. Job 38:7 The difference is that while Jesus (archangel Michael) is in control of obedient angels Satan is the head of rebellious angels {Revelations 12:7} after convincing them to join him in his rebellion. Revelations 12:4 |
Thoth02:You people don't want to submit to the orderliness prescribed in God's word so you keep on seeking answers that will suit your crooked heart, i asked you just one question but instead of you to answer accordingly you raised several questions due to your faithlessness. Well if you want to know the truth answers to all your questions are right there in God's word (Bible) and i'm ready to direct you to all the answers you seek but i won't allow you to complicate the whole thing by jumping from one question to another in a bid to confuse interested followers. I picked one out of your numerous questions but if you feel like it's not the most important to you then i will give you another chance to pick the one that's of utmost importance to you. You asked: Ever wondered why there are two trees in the garden?Well the Bible never said two trees rather what caused Adam and Eve to be driven out of that garden was centered on those two trees. Genesis 2:9 They were told not to eat out of one because it will make them grow old and die in less than a day (in God's eyes) which is not our 24 hours but 1,000 years {2Peter 3:8} that's why no one ever lived up to 1,000 years afterwards. The second tree is the antidotes of aging so if they were allowed to eat of it their aging will stop and they won't grow older again that's why God commanded two angels to prevent the rebellious couple from reaching out to it {Genesis 3:22-24} God later promised obedient descendants of Adam that this tree will be restored when He has forgiven us so that we can eat of its fruit to cure aging forever! Revelations 22:2 So why didn't God stop or get upset when Eve ate the forbidden fruit? Well that's because female humans weren't part of God's program from the onset they are secondary human creation God brought them when the man felt lonely {Genesis 2:18} if Adam has remain obedient then its only Even that would have needed the antidote just as God did to Job after all his troubles it was the same woman who asked Job to curse God that he continued to live with happily ever after. So man is God's image while the woman is man's image {Genesis 2:23} that's why God's word doesn't reckon much with female humans when recording all these events and the angels also don't count them worthy to lead in worship to God Almighty. 1Corinthians 11:10 So the Bible God made everything clear enough for whoever wants to learn even if atheists and agnostics chose to do whenever pleases them! Romans 1:20 compare to Psalms 10:4 Now can you answer the question? What has any other God promised and how have they been working towards the fulfillment of their promises? Isaiah 55:8-11 ![]() |
freshboi88:Who gave him? Matthew 28:18 ![]() |
TemmyT002:You are using the Bible to clarify matters while discussing with people who believes their God is MYSTERIOUS. Now that's where the problem lies! ![]() |
Thoth02:Just one question you started perambulating instead of answering with conviction to prove that there is any other God apart from the God of Abraham! ![]() Here is the question again: "What your God said in the past fulfilling today" Let's hear how real is this God of yours? |
AlwaysSaved:You're just deceiving yourself because Christians aren't under the laws given to Israel. And for your information the laws God gave Israel is a constitution that will guide them until the arrival of the Christ (Messiah) {Deuteronomy 18:18-19; Jeremiah 31:31-34} so if the Christ kills then i too can kill, if the Christ fights dirty out of vengeance then i too can do same, if the Christ has another God then i too can do the same and if the Christ used to pay tithes to Levites then i too must pay tithe. Do you now know what Paul meant when he said: "Christ is the END OF THE LAW?" Romans 10:4 ![]() |
EsotericTemple:There is no natural family anywhere because Satan has laid the foundation of selfishness and greed so humans are just doing stupid things thinking they are wise whereas they are stupid. What God has in mind for mankind is a global family of peace loving worshipers where each of us is his brother's keeper but stupidity won't allow humans know that there's no better life than what God purposed for us. That's why Jesus of Nazareth came to establish a global family where all members of this family will live as One and work towards the welfare of all members of the family but since Satan is the one in control of the earth it's not easy for Jesus' group to make the best use of what the earth produces. In the organization Jesus established there is no single beggar {Psalms 23:1} we all know that God never purposed for some to live big while others live like paupers {James 1:27} so whatever we have we try to share with one another for an equalizing! 2Corinthians 8:14 Satan is behind the stupid selfishness in many people making them feel they can preserve wealth for their unborn generations when we all know that there is no way we can so that in a world filled with thieves! Matthew 6:19-21 So instead of storing up treasures thinking we are keeping it for our children we were taught to see whoever shared the same faith with us as a member of our global family! John 17:20-23 |
Thoth02:No wonder the true God said: In the final part of the days, The mountain of the house of Jehovah Will become firmly established above the top of the mountains, And it will be raised up above the hills, And to it all the nations will stream. And many peoples will go and say: “Come, let us go up to the mountain of Jehovah, To the house of the God of Jacob. He will instruct us about his ways, And we will walk in his paths.” For law will go out of Zion, And the word of Jehovah out of Jerusalem. He will render judgment among the nations And set matters straight respecting many peoples. They will beat their swords into plowshares And their spears into pruning shears. Nation will not lift up sword against nation, Nor will they learn war anymore. Isaiah 2:2-4; Micah 4:1-3 Sometimes i often wonder "what did the God of Abraham meant by this sayings"? But now i understand fully. Please tell us one promise made by any of the Gods you know and how such promises have come to a fulfillment just as the God of Abraham did in the Bible! Isaiah 55:8-11 Ọmọ if you truly want to learn then use your brain and not heart because hearts deceives a lot {Jeremiah 17:9} let any of those Gods speak about how they came in contact with humans, their past dealings, victories, promises and the fulfillment of whatever they have said. A servant of the Bible God said about all other Gods: "Our God is in the heavens; He does whatever he pleases. Their idols are silver and gold, The work of human hands. A mouth they have, but they cannot speak; Eyes, but they cannot see; Ears they have, but they cannot hear; A nose, but they cannot smell; Hands they have, but they cannot feel; Feet, but they cannot walk; They make no sound with their throat. The people who make them will become just like them, As will all those who trust in them." Psalms 115:3-8 Please prove this Bible God wrong by presenting what any of your Gods said and the global fulfillment lets see who is the true God, if you can't then know that whatever the Bible God said stands as the ultimate truth so Adam and Eve were the first humans to walk on this planet! ![]() |
Ken4Christ:Jesus said to them: "You received free, give free" Matthew 10:8 But as for Levites they never received what they had freely it comes at the cost of their age long inheritance which God commanded Moses not to share to them while the rest of the tribes got their own inheritance: “The Levitical priests, and indeed the entire tribe of Leʹvi, will not be given a share or an inheritance with Israel. They will eat of the offerings made by fire to Jehovah, which are his inheritance. So they should have no inheritance in the midst of their brothers. Jehovah is their inheritance, just as he has spoken to them" Deuteronomy 18:1-2 That's why they are to collect tithes from their brothers: Hebrews 7:5 "And do not neglect the Levite who is inside your cities, for he has not been given a share or an inheritance with you" Deuteronomy 14:27 So whoever is collecting tithe in Christianity is a THIEF Lord Jesus said we must render our service FREE because we received FREE! Matthew 10:8 |
Emusan:You're just hungry for fruitless arguments and i'm not interested in such nonsense so keep whatever beliefs you have! ![]() |
CoolJason:Please help yourself and forget about those who aren't interested in the truth, if you have further questions feel free to ask but don't do so on behalf of others because faith is not a possession of all kinds of people! 2Thessalonians 3:2 |
Georgekyrian: CoolJason:So it's about what is found written in the Bible Sir! ![]() |
Back then female children weren't mentioned along with males so when the Bible says Adam and Eve had Cain then Abel it doesn't mean that's the only two children they had females also included that's why at Adam's death God's word revealed: After becoming father to Seth, Adam lived for 800 years. And he became father to sons and daughters. So all the days of Adam’s life amounted to 930 years, and then he died. Genesis 5:4-5 So Cain married one of his sisters. Thanks for picking interest in our book, your book, God's word, Bible. |
Emusan:OK! ![]() |
Emusan:So when talking about Jesus not Almighty God you won't say it's only JWs that hold such teaching. ![]() |
Emusan:No problem at least you know now that it's not only JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES that teaches Jesus is not the Almighty God. I think that's enough for now! ![]() |
Ken4Christ:To make room for the service of Levites whose duty is to help in offering sacrifices and burning of incense on the altar. But their services were no longer required after Jesus has given everyone a direct link to the most High God through his SACRIFICIAL DEATH on the stake! Hebrews 9:14 So because the service of Levites are no longer required there is no need revisiting tithe because it's on the basis of their service tithe was instituted! Hebrews 7:5-12 |
DZTech:There is a problem here and it's like most Bible readers chose to neglect the weightiest matter concerning salvation which is faith in Christ so instead of asking: "which of the churches is practicing what Jesus taught?" Everyone just wants to justify the doctrine they were taught. Well you're 100% correct because if animal sacrifices today has made religions like Judaism and Islam idolatry then tithe paying too has become IDOLATRY since it's no longer about faith in Christ but the law. Why did Judaists rejected faith in Christ? Is it not their attachment to Mosaic law? Jesus commanded his disciples to care for one another and there was nowhere he made any payment mandatory or compulsory as far as salvation is concerned rather it's all based on what you can give voluntarily from a cheerful and joyful heart! Act 35:20 compare to 2Corinthians 9:7 IDOLATRY means what people are practicing and takes so seriously even despising their peers over it yet not commanded by God. If Judaists today hate those having faith in the Christ simply because we abandoned what the laws teaches and stick to faith in the Christ then whoever is paying or receiving tithe today is also cursed because it has nothing to do with faith which Jesus Christ and his disciples handed over to us. Remember Moses handed over the laws to the Israelites that's why they must live by it until the Christ comes {Deuteronomy 18:18-19} but after the Christ whoever sticks to the laws has derailed because a New Covenant has replaced the law covenant {Jeremiah 31:31-32} that's why Paul spoke harshly to the Christians in ancient Galatia! Galatians 3:1 God bless you and may you have PEACE! |
MindHacker9009:There's no need arguing afterwards that verse is SELF EXPLANATORY! ![]() |
MindHacker9009:Who is the prophet God promised that would TEACH the Israelites something NEW at Deuteronomy 18:18-19? ![]() |
jaephoenix:Allow op to speak for himself! |
First rider is Jesus restructuring his group. Second rider incessant wars Third is food shortages everywhere. Fourth is death and mass burial in many lands. |
QuickTrade:Everything is wrong with monetary tithing God asked the Israelites to PAY the Levites for their service in the temple which includes animal sacrifices and burning of incense but in the New Covenant there's no need for either animal sacrifices or burning of incense hence there is no law saying Christians who are no longer required to do either of the two pay tithe which was constitutional according to the service rendered by the Levites! Hebrews 7:5-12 |
johnw47:OK thanks for mentioning me at least! ![]() |
johnw47:What exactly are you trying to say? ![]() |
johnw47:Funny churchgoer! And what is the SPECIFIC THING o! ![]() |
MindHacker9009:Please what do the highlighted means? ![]() |
chevrolet60:The highlighted caught my attention! Ironically you've been influenced by the lies of Christendom Churches that life with Christ is devoid of crisis but my friend that's the exact opposite of what Jesus himself said! Jesus said: “If anyone wants to come after me, let him disown himself and pick up his torture stake and keep following me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. Really, what good will it do a man if he gains the whole world but loses his life? Or what will a man give in exchange for his life?" Matthew 16:24-26 A Psalmist once said: "I became envious of the arrogant When I would see the peace of the wicked. For they have no pain in their death; Their bodies are healthy. They are not troubled like other humans, Nor do they suffer like other men." Psalms 73:4-5 So did the true God promise His worshipers a life without crisis? Jesus the only begotten Son of God answered: "never be anxious about the next day, for the next day will have its own anxieties. Each day has enough of its own troubles" Matthew 6:34 The promise from God is that when faithless people are getting themselves into trouble due to lack of wisdom {Proverbs 22:3} faithful servants of God will enjoy inner peace {Philippians 4:4-7 compare to John 14:26-27} but as for life in this world a real Christian can't be without crisis engineered by Satan who wants faithful people to feel worthless with our faith {Job 1:11 compare to Revelations 12:10b} whereas each worths more than you can think before our God who created us in His image with faith we have in him! Matthew 10:30-31 So if you truly want to become a Christian pray to God and beg Him (specifically mention) in your prayer to direct His worshipers to you for enlightenment and i'm sure our people will locate you! Act 8:29; 16:6-10 God bless you and may you have PEACE! |
johnw47:Who are those seeking higher powers? ~to fight and destroy their enemies. ~to gain material possessions. ~to protect what they have accumulated. ~to continue to dominate. ~to reign in Satan's world. ~to kill or curse whoever offends them. ~to connect higher level for connections. All these are the things WITCHES crave for that's why Jesus told his own disciples: “On this account I say to you: Stop being anxious about your lives as to what you will eat or what you will drink, or about your bodies as to what you will wear. Does not life mean more than food and the body than clothing? Observe intently the birds of heaven; they do not sow seed or reap or gather into storehouses, yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth more than they are? Who of you by being anxious can add one cubit to his life span? Jesus added: "Keep on, then, seeking first the Kingdom and his righteousness, and all these other things will be added to you. So never be anxious about the next day, for the next day will have its own anxieties. Each day has enough of its own troubles" Matthew 6:25-27, 33-34 Satan uses all these things as traps because no matter who you are or where you come from one out of those seven things will entice you to seek power or position from Satan! Luke 4:5-7 ![]() |
The answer to your question lies in a research: What leads people into witchcraft? If you don't know the reason why many people go into witchcraft you can't understand the sudden disappearance nowadays. Before the white man's religion people go into SPIRITISM to protect themselves from bullies and oppressors, for instance imagine a market woman selling groceries mistakingly collided with a female military personnel and the other lady beat or slapped her what do you expect her to do? Surely she will be the one to beg for truce but what if she had a spiritual power to deal with the female military personnel? Haha! That's how many are recruited into witchcraft where they are promised power to revenge. But after the Catholic Church was rendered less powerful majority of protestants seek spiritual powers which they used to oppress those who went into spiritism this led to a turn around in the way people reason and so many now goes to churches of Christendom for that higher power to conquer witchcraft. An example is one Nigerian in the earth 1900s called APOSTLE Joseph Ayo Babalola this man got some strange powers and used it to battle witchcraft within his locality leading many into his church as they now feel the Jesus' power is higher than that of witches, till today the churches of Christendom are still advertising the superior power of their Jesus as if that is what the man from Nazareth came to teach. So what happened to Nigerian witches today? Ask the Churches of Christendom because they have turned people's minds away from seeking spiritual help from their local deities to the deception that Jesus will give them higher powers but the secret remains that witchcraft continues in the society as those involved are no longer fighting for power to deal with their neighbors rather they are seeking dominion unfortunately many are being recruited into modern day witchcraft in the name of religion as they go into politics and big time commerce the only way to know what Satan is using them for is mass killings here and there in the name of politics! Revelations 6:3-4 |
