Christianity Etc › Re: The Gospel Yeshua Preached… Vs The Gospel Modern Christianity Preaches Today by MaxInDHouse(m): 9:46am On May 30
After creation God told Adam and Eve:

“Be fruitful and become many, fill the earth and subdue it, and have in subjection the fish of the sea and the flying creatures of the heavens and every living creature that is moving on the earth.” Genesis 1:28

The right question to ask is:

If the first human couple obeyed God and did as instructed will there be any reason for Yeshua to come preaching?

Of course the answer is "NO" so whatever Yeshua came to preach must go in line with that purpose which is to reconnect Adam's descendants to God for us to fulfill the aim for which humans were created in God's image!

So what did God want us to do with Yeshua's message?
Do we have any group of people doing so today?

Note that if there is no single group doing it today then it's not humanity that failed but God Himself who said in the scriptures:

Many will cleanse themselves and whiten themselves and will be refined. And the wicked ones will act wickedly, and none of the wicked will understand; but those having insight will understand. Daniel 12:10

Regarding our time Jesus said to his disciples:

"You will receive power when the holy spirit comes upon you, and you will be witnesses of me in Jerusalem, in all Ju·deʹa and Sa·marʹi·a, and to the most distant part of the earth.” Act 1:8

So if there is no single group achieving this goal then you're not blaming men rather it's God you are blaming for uttering what He can't achieve with His active force (holy spirit) 🙂

“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

Good morning lovelies. Yes you woke healthy and strong.its God's goodness.

Know this that your time on earth will be a testament for your life in eternity. If you have not accepted the love of god today by accepting his gifts of salvation please do...You don't have it all to figure out... just confess your sins and ask the Lord Jesus for mercy....

Remain blessed.
What about other religions like Hindu, Judaists, Buddhists, Traditionalists, Muslims and so on who also love being nice people but don't believe in the Bible?

How can they be connected to Jesus whose story is only found written completely in the Bible?🤔

What is God's purpose for sending this message?

That's the question you need to answer first before thinking about imperfection of the receivers.

Has that purpose being met?


You are misconstruing everything by looking at different religions altogether instead of focusing on the most important thing.
The aim of the Author of the Bible!
Theawakensoul:
You actually raised an interesting point.
And honestly, I partially agree with you.

Yes…
the fact that a text passed through history does NOT automatically mean:
👉 it became completely false
👉 or lost all wisdom.
That would be an exaggerated conclusion.

Human beings can still preserve:
👉 ideas
👉 teachings
👉 wisdom
👉 philosophy
👉 and spiritual insight
across generations.

I acknowledge that.

But I think there’s an important distinction we must make carefully:
preserving a GENERAL MESSAGE
is not the same thing as preserving EVERY DETAIL perfectly and untouched.

Those are two different claims.

For example:
A teaching can still inspire millions…
while also having:
👉 translation variations
👉 editorial influence
👉 political shaping
👉 interpretational layers
👉 and institutional modifications across centuries.

Those realities are not mutually exclusive.


Now regarding your point about:
👉 the purpose being achieved.

That sounds reasonable at first…
but it also raises deeper questions.

Because many religions claim:
👉 transformed lives
👉 moral improvement
👉 spiritual results
👉 miracles
👉 purpose
👉 and fulfilled destinies.

Christians say it.
Muslims say it.
Hindus say it.
Buddhists say it.

Even philosophies outside religion have transformed lives.

So if “positive results” alone prove absolute preservation or ultimate truth…

then multiple contradictory systems would all become equally and fully true at the same time.

And that becomes philosophically difficult.


Also, human transformation itself does not necessarily prove:
👉 textual perfection.

People can grow through:
👉 wisdom
👉 meaning
👉 discipline
👉 meditation
👉 love
👉 purpose
👉 community
👉 psychological conviction
👉 and deep belief.

Even imperfect systems can still produce meaningful experiences.

That is part of human consciousness itself.


And honestly…

I think questioning preservation is not an attack on spirituality.

It’s simply intellectual honesty.

Because historically, we KNOW:
👉 manuscripts differ
👉 translations differ
👉 canon selections happened over time
👉 scribes made edits
👉 some verses were later additions
👉 interpretations evolved across centuries

Most serious biblical scholars openly acknowledge this today.

That does not automatically destroy all value in scripture.

But it DOES challenge the idea that every word dropped from heaven untouched by history.


And maybe that’s where wisdom is truly needed:
Not blind rejection…
and not blind acceptance either.

But mature investigation.

Because truth should not fear examination.

If something is genuinely divine…
honest questions should not destroy it.

In fact, they may deepen understanding.

I AM - THE AWAKEN SOUL (TAS)

Theawakensoul:
Nobody possesses the original writings of:
👉 Moses
👉 Isaiah
👉 Paul
👉 Matthew
👉 John
Wisdom is what you needed not stories because the scriptures passed through many stages doesn't mean it has been completely altered.
To find out if the truth in God's word has been changed the first thing you should figure out is whether the purpose for which the message was sent has been achieved.
If the purpose has been achieved then the group or organization achieving the purpose has the complete message otherwise they can't get the perfect result through the use of incomplete message! Matthew 7:16-18🙂
Christianity Etc › Re: Discarding Of The Bible. by MaxInDHouse(m): 9:53am On May 27
If you have a collection of worn-out little books and you want to replace them what would you do?

Well it's just a book the message could be found in a newer Bible so discarding

brightDdon:
Good morning nairalanders

Please I need your advice,

I have about two old and torn Bibles which I don't make use of again due to it state of torn and incomplete pages

Note,I natural don't like having worn-out properties in my space, either I repair or I replace

Now, I want to get a new Bible

Here comes the main point, I want to discard the two old ones but don't know the best way to discard a Bible

As a Christian,what's the best way to discard a Bible, ( with biblical verse if available)


I'll be at the comment section

Thanks and God bless.

Few members of Jehovah's Witnesses are anointed brothers of Christ so they don't sleep in death anymore with the rest of the dead but they are taken out of planet earth as spirit beings immediately at their last breath {1Thessalonians 4:16-17} this started in the year 1914!

Has he seen his own dead ancestors and spoken to them?
Where are they living now after leaving planet earth?
What did they tell him about the origin of life?
Are all people going to the same place after life as humans on earth?
Why aren't they helping their children if they can?
Christianity Etc › Re: Does God Know Everything? Does He Know The End Of A Thing From The Beginning? by MaxInDHouse(m): 8:46am On May 23
In most cases when this question arises Bible readers often quote where God said He is the Alpha and Omega but they failed to consider the context of that title.

Does it mean God knows everything from the beginning to the end?

The answer is NO.

So why would He call Himself Alpha and Omega?

The reason is He has a purpose and so because He is the Almighty there is no hindrance to His purpose nothing can stop Him from achieving what He wants to do {Isaiah 55:10-11} that does not mean disturbance can't come His way but since He can handle everything nobody can stop Him from achieving His purpose.
Christianity Etc › Re: Why Are There So Many Denominations? by MaxInDHouse(m): 7:44am On May 23
Jesus used an illustration to teach what will happen in our time.

A man went to the field and sow fine seeds {Matthew 13:24} when men were sleeping his enemy came at night to sow weeds in the same field {Matthew 13:25} when the two grew his servants reported back to him {Matthew 13:26-27} they asked if they should go and uproot the weeds {Matthew 13:28} he told them not to do so because while trying to uproot weeds they may mistakingly remove the fine seeds too {Matthew 13:29} finally he told them to wait until the harvest when everything has grown then they will see clearly the fine seeds and the weeds. Matthew 13:30

If we notice the last verse the master told his servants "First collect the weeds and bind them in BUNDLES to burn them up" this means there will be contradicting doctrines that people take for Christian teachings but in the endtime such teachings will be separated from truth.

How are such doctrines burned?

If anyone comes to tell you what he or she believes please ask them to tell you the name of the church where such is being taught you will notice that they will not be able to mention any church because the angels Jesus sent in our time are presently burning false teachings {Matthew 13:41-42} gradually false doctrines are being burned that is why those holding to it can't point to any church where such is being taught anymore but the truth is now shinning globally as true Christians are gathering and our teachings are known by all! Matthew 13:43; Isaiah 2:2
Christianity Etc › Re: Budaatum Lordreed Please I Need Both Of Your Advice by MaxInDHouse(m): 7:13am On May 23
When we come to people's house with the intention to study the Bible with them most will drive us away without a second thought about what could make these happy people leave their homes to come visiting uninvited?
Well if you study the Bible the only reason why people hear voices is mental issues from the layman's viewpoint but when you look critically at the matter it's not absolutely true. 1Corinthans 2:14

Why?

Children between 1-10 may experience such a thing because their brains is still developing so things they have heard or passed through their ears unnoticed may come back to their brains since they are not mature enough to distinguish between thoughts and voices it will be as if some people are talking to them and they may start saying or doing strange things. But by the time you pass that stage if such should happen then it simply means you have had some dealings with the underworld (spirits) that is what leads many into being possessed by demons.

So the best approach to handle this is by retracing your steps, if you have any object or item having to do with spirits around you throw them away such items belongs to them (demons) and so it's like you keep inviting them each time they notice it either in your body or in your house. The demons have advanced in their dealings so it could even be a seemingly harmless tattoo on your skin but it's their symbol.

After you've done that then try to always stay with people who have no business with demons {Psalms 1:1} you might have been attracted to them due to love of riches but when you start to deal with people who takes life simple the demons will become irritated and leave you completely. Matthew 6:22-23

Demons are sadists so they don't want anyone to be truly happy.
What do i mean by being truly happy?

Accumulating material possessions may seem like a ticket to happiness but it's not 99.9% of wealthy people are not happy {Ecclesiastes 5:12} but since they have so much to call their own ignorant people around them envy them whereas they can't chew more than what their mouth can contain, they can't wear more clothes than their bodies neither can they occupy two beds at a time. 1Timothy 6:6-8

So if you go to people who don't believe in unseen beings they will tell you to seek the help of a psychiatrist but the truth is the voices you are hearing is real those talking to you are not mere imaginary thoughts you just need to do things that will irritate them and they will leave you! James 4:7

PastorAIO:
I remember you better now. You’re a JW. The fakest of the lot, with your own twisted mistranslation of bible.
Na tat ti, means to give, not to allow. There is no context in Hebrew where it means to allow. Lying JW.
Do you think it's always direct tongues are translated?
Well you err greatly because there are instances where you have to consider the context before concluding on what someone said.

For instance two people met on the road and based on their previous discussions before then one asked the other:
What is on ground? English
Wetin dey ground? Pidgin
Kí ló wà nílẹ̀? Yorùbá


So someone who can speak the language translated it to:

What is that on the ground?

Do you think the translator is right?🙂

Ọmọ context matters when translating languages there are many things to consider not just what you read or heard.

The same book said God can't stand evil deeds {Habakkuk 1:13} so do you think your translator is correct about this same person?🙂

MaxInDHouse:
Why did God arrange for His message to be written?
If you don't know the purpose of God's word you can't know whether it has been well preserved. Daniel 12:10🙂
God arranged for His message so that mankind can know who is the true God out of all the spirits (demons) claiming God.
So God used His message as a knockout to silence all demons but the demons didn't just fold their arms they fought back by disguising as angels of God to misconstrue God's message to humans {2Corinthians 11:14} they used the same book but it's their own agents that was carrying it {2Corinthians 11:15} while they keep on fighting against God's faithful servants! Revelation 2:10

So how can we be assured that what we have is the perfect word of God as revealed from the divine?

God promised that during the endtime His word will be used to achieve global peace among His true worshipers {Isaiah 2:2-4} but if that didn't happen then it means the word still has certain errors or is filled with misinformation.

Today what God promised has been fulfilled that is evidence that God's word has been perfectly preserved!🙂

When critics quote verses for intolerant inquisitors instead of the later to go and ask others regarding the verse {Matthew 7:7-8} most of them just swallow whatever the critic quote for them and start judging the Bible.🙂

Just imagine someone quoted Ezekiel 20:25-26
I also allowed them to follow regulations that were not good and judicial decisions by which they could not have life. I let them become defiled by their own sacrifices—when they made every firstborn child pass through the fire—in order to make them desolate, so that they would know that I am Jehovah. Ezekiel 20:25-26

But instead of the inquisitor to continue asking Bible believers what our God meant in the verse he started quoting the erroneous translation and expecting everyone to agree with his hasty conclusion.

Well if you are truly interested to know why God said what is quoted in the Bible book of Ezekiel 20:25-26 it was a direct response to a question asked by one of God's faithful servants named Habakkuk who asked God:

Your eyes are too pure to look on evil; you cannot tolerate wrongdoing. Why then do you tolerate the treacherous? Why are you silent while the wicked swallow up those more righteous than themselves? ‭Habakkuk 1:13 NIV‬

So God said He allowed these people to do such things not that He instituted it:


They have built the high places of Topheth in the Valley of Ben Hinnom to burn their sons and daughters in the fire—something I did not command, nor did it enter my mind. ‭Jeremiah 7:31 NIV‬


So if you want to learn humble yourself and ask questions! Proverbs 2:1-5🙂

PastorAIO:
Can you imagine a so called deity that tells his devotees to sacrifice their first born children?
Humbly ask questions instead of quickly concluding on what you don't understand.

Here is the correct translation of what you quoted:

I also allowed them to follow regulations that were not good and judicial decisions by which they could not have life. I let them become defiled by their own sacrifices—when they made every firstborn child pass through the fire—in order to make them desolate, so that they would know that I am Jehovah. Ezekiel 20:25-26

Ask questions not concluding hastily!🙂
