Why does it matter to you?
I have direct access to God and I don't belong to any religious sect or group.
Is it your problem if I am the only one on this path?
Why don't you tell me about the path you're on?
You claim you have direct access to God and you're OK with that so you're asking why does your opinion matter to someone asking you but then you're here complaining about other people's beliefs.

That really amuses me because if you don't want to be questioned about the relationship between you and your God why complaining about others?

If truthfully you're contented with your god there is no reason complaining about others.

As they're OK with their Gods as well! smiley

Christianity Etc › Re: Ashamed Of Being A Christian Due To The Wrongs Of Others? by MaxInDHouse(m): 4:49pm On Feb 15, 2024
Christ came because of SINNERS and he was never ashamed of them ever trusting in them that they can make the needed changes with God's help, that's why critics of his time labelled Jesus "Friend of sinners" Luke 7:34
So if anyone is ashamed of sinners he or she doesn't worth being a Christian! smiley
Christianity Etc › Re: Cornelius. by MaxInDHouse(m): 4:37pm On Feb 15, 2024
Of course he WAS a soldier but remember that Jesus ordered his disciples to made disciples of people of all the nations and TEACH them all the things he commanded {Matthew 28:19-20} so after Cornelius became a Christian he must RESIGN from the army because he need to love his neighbours like himself {Mark 12:31} love his fellow believers just as Jesus loves {John 13:34-35} and love his enemies even PRAY for them! Luke 6:27-28
So if Cornelius wants to continue as a member of the house of faith in Christ Jesus he must resign from the army! smiley

After reading that comment please meditate and try to figure out the difference between what Satan proposed to Eve and what the commentator is suggesting:

"your eyes will be opened and you will be like God, knowing good and bad.” Genesis 3:5

Sounds intelligent isn't it?
But then ask the commentator:
How can mankind cohabit peacefully if each and everyone chooses to become find his or her own God in within themselves? wink
Christianity Etc › Re: Eve Was Not Adam's Helper by MaxInDHouse(m): 10:07am On Feb 15, 2024
Techobeys:
This begs the question: who was the helper God mentioned in Genesis? Who else was in the Garden of Eden aside Eve? Inasmuch as the true purpose of life as seen in Christ is “teaching,” this makes the helper that God mentioned in Genesis Adam’s teacher. This helper was going to teach Adam all things with respect to his responsibility and function and give him knowledge to rule the world. This helper was the Holy Spirit. Consequently, Adam, being already helped by the Holy Spirit had the fundamental responsibility to teach (and help) the woman to know the truth and rule the world. Adam’s fall was mainly lack of this function. He didn’t do what was expected from him. The true purpose of life was restored to earth through Christ after humans gadded off the path of truth. Looking at Christ, we see that he was taught and led by the spirit—he was helped by the spirit. Christ being helped by the spirit became humanity’s helper, teaching us what is good and acceptable unto God.
Well Adam was a PERFECT creature made in God's image so what he needs is an helper to keep his company and warm his bed:

Two are better than one because they have a good reward for their hard work. Ecclesiastes 4:9

if two lie down together, they will stay warm, but how can just one keep warm? Ecclesiastes 4:11


The Holy Spirit comes into the scene after the fall of man to help the imperfect man recollect all the information given to do God's will {John 14:6} as for perfect Adam God was directly talking to him it was after the fall of man that we no longer merit that closeness! Romans 3:23

So the Holy Spirit is God's active force used to help IMPERFECT humans not PERFECT beings!
Christianity Etc › Re: Eve Was Not Adam's Helper by MaxInDHouse(m): 7:39am On Feb 15, 2024
Techobeys:
Adam was the helper of Eve and not the other way round as we’ve been made to believe in times past.
Genesis 2:18

And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an HELP meet for him. KJV

‭‭
The Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a HELPER suitable for him.” NIV


The question should have been:

What did God mean by calling Eve an helper to Adam?

May you have PEACE! smiley
Christianity Etc › Re: Why Do Christians Pray In The Name Of Jesus? by MaxInDHouse(m): 6:24am On Feb 15, 2024
They are misinformed churchgoers not Christians!

Jesus used to pray to God in the name of YHWH pronounced YAHWEH or JEHOVAH.

The statement churchgoers misquoted which is the reason why they're praying to Jesus is:

Also, whatever you ask in my name, I will do this, so that the Father may be glorified in connection with the Son. If you ask anything in my name, I will do it. John 14:12-13

Here Jesus wasn't directing them to pray to him rather he was telling them that since the work he assigned to them @ Matthew 10 is overwhelming they will need him to continue directing them in doing this work but now that he is going back to his own home {John 14:6} and they can't go immediately with him they should not feel discouraged because he will be with them as a spirit person anytime his help is needed {Matthew 18:20} he is not leaving them completely. Matthew 28:20

So they're to continue seeing him as their leader who will always be there to direct the work he assigned to them {Matthew 28:19} but when it comes to the person to whom they are to direct their prayers to Jesus said:

“Stop clinging to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go to my brothers and say to them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father and to my God and your God.’” John 20:17

This means that Christians are Jesus' brothers and sisters {Matthew 12:26-50} we all know that God is no one's brother because He has never referred to anyone as His brother before so the person to whom Jesus was directing his prayers is the same person we are to direct our prayers.
The problem most readers have today is that most translators have removed God's name in their translations replacing the name with the title "LORD"
Whenever you're reading the KJV and you come across the title LORD what was originally written there is YHWH pronounced YAHWEH or JEHOVAH.
That is the person we should pray to not Jesus!

Expanse2020:
so you agree you Christians practice different things as a man made different doctrine.
And what make you so sure Jehova witness is the wright path among others Christianity path undecided
It's really difficult explaining to a person born and taught to believe that when people having different ideologies are all claiming a path they truly all belong to that path.

Would you like to know what Jesus taught?

That is the only way to IDENTIFY his disciples for real.

Today you can be deceived by the pretext that all those claiming Muslims bow towards the stone in Mecca but what is the essence of such gullibility when Muslims are killing Muslims due to politics? What role is Allah playing? What has the teachings of Muhammad got to do in this regard?

The title "GOD" connotes SUPREME BEING so if there is truly a God in your midst nothing should lead Muslims bowing to the same God into killing one another.

That's one thing Jesus commanded his own disciples and it really makes sense! John 13:34-35

Only Jehovah's Witnesses practice this!

Let's say you're just joking about this because shi'ites and sunnis both claim Muslims yet they are perpetual enemies. What i realized in Islam is the deceit that all Muslims can worship in the same mosque but that doesn't stop Muslims who both climbed Arafat from raising weapons against one another.

So what is the position of Allah when Muslims are killing Muslims due to political reasons?

You've been thoroughly deceived because instead of finding out what Jesus laid down as tenets for his disciples all that matters to you is different religions claiming Christians when you yourself can see that they are different religions! undecided

So when i asking started those claiming Christians the same question only one group proved they are the one all others kept beating about the bush as they can't point to the Bible to support what they are practicing as the only way Jesus approves! smiley

It depends on your location and brethren that also believe the same thing as you do.
For many Sunday is OK but to others Saturday is good to go.
God's word mandated Saturdays for Israelites as a nation and it was written in their country's constitution during the time of Moses but now that we are no longer under that constitution each individual is free to associate with fellow believers at a time most appropriate as long as they are your fellow believers in the same God!

I'm trying my best
The first time i engaged him we spent almost two days chatting he kept asking questions as regards all what his former religion infused in his head before he became an atheist from that day onwards he started trailing me up and down the forum until he came in contact with apostates posting lies here and there that was how he gained the impetus to come back and he couldn't say anything again from the scriptures other than what apostates told him.

From that day i decided to shun him because he's not interested in the truth he's only anxious to talk back at anyone professing faith in God which shows that he wasn't really a man of faith right from the beginning.

There are many who has turned to atheism on this forum but after engaging me they will feel really bad about their decision but instead of focusing on what revived their dying faith in God's word they want to return to their former religions then start attacking the truth again! smiley

Christianity Etc › Re: Can Human Being Be Perfect As God Almighty? by MaxInDHouse(m): 4:54am On Feb 14, 2024
Omooba77:
We are enjoined to be perfect even as our heavenly Father is perfect. Is it possible as human?
The word translated to "PERFECT" means to be HOLY just like the Creator this simply means a man can be perfect but perfection doesn't mean fault finders won't have something to say against the perfect person.
NO!
Fault finders will surely have something to say against a perfect person but they can never ever find a replacement for what is perfect.
Take for instance there are atheists and agnostics today do you know why? These folks keep looking for excuses not to believe in the existence of God that's why they're saying many things to discourage themselves but then they have forgotten that even among us we have those we take orders from because they have forced themselves on us using weapons so if they are obedient willingly or grudgingly before their fellow humans it's enough to tell them that there is One who is truly SUPREME whose authority is above even human rulers who have made themselves like God's. Psalms 82:1, 6
So when God said we must be perfect just like Him it doesn't mean fault finders won't have what to complain about but they can't find a better replacement for what God has made perfect. smiley

On what merit can an imperfect man or men go to the kingdom of God?
They were purchased with the blood of the lamb
Through one man, sin entered into the world and all were made sinners and by the sacrificial death of one man, all will be made righteous
By this “will” we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all time. Heb 10;10
But God recommends his own love to us in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Rom:5:8
But it was with precious blood, like that of an unblemished and spotless lamb, that of Christ. 1 Pet 1:19
Revelation 5:9
And they sing a new song, saying: “You are worthy to take the scroll and open its seals, for you were slaughtered and with your blood you bought people for God out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation
1 Timothy 2:6
who gave himself a corresponding ransom for all—this is what is to be witnessed to in its own due time.
Ephesians 1:7
By means of him we have the release by ransom through the blood of that one, yes, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his undeserved kindness.
Revelation 1:5, 6
and from Jesus Christ, “the Faithful Witness,” “the firstborn from the dead,” and “the Ruler of the kings of the earth.” To him who loves us and who set us free from our sins by means of his own blood
Revelation 5:9, 10
And they sing a new song, saying: “You are worthy to take the scroll and open its seals, for you were slaughtered and with your blood you bought people for God out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation,10and you made them to be a kingdom and priests to our God, and they are to rule as kings over the earth.”
And he is a propitiatory sacrifice for our sins, yet not for ours only but also for the whole world’s. 1 John 2, 2
Rom 3:25. God presented him as an offering for propitiation through faith in his blood. This was to demonstrate his own righteousness, because God in his forbearance was forgiving the sins that occurred in the past.
I purposely engaged kobojunkie to prove before others who often think we are on the same page with her that she's just arguing blindly. How can Jesus' sacrificial death be for only the sinners of Israel yet he sent his disciples to go and make disciples of people of all the nations and baptize them? Matthew 28:19

Please let her be at least now her eyes has cleared that the publishers of that book are sent by God to help people know God's word not just arguing fruitlessly!

Jesus Christ was a Passover Lamb of God — Exodus 12 — ushering in a new dispensation — a brand new law and Nation. And the Passover Lamb was neither a sin offering, a burnt offering nor a fellowship offering. The fact that those who are to enter into the Kingdom of God were required by Jesus Christ to eat His flesh and drink His blood — to be marked by it — should have more than hinted at this identity of His person. lipsrsealed

As I said earlier, Jesus Christ clearly never said He died to purge the sins of the people condemned by God— He was not a sin offering, a burnt offering, or a fellowship offering. So how do you find written in His Gospel that which He is never recorded to have said? undecided
Madam Jesus is the LAMB of God who takes away the sin of the whole world according to the writers of the Bible.

God never condemned any of his children as we were created in His image {Genesis 1:26} so when Jesus said:

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16

He was talking about the entire human race no matter where they may be found {Matthew 28:19-20} no matter the tribe all humans have sinned and fallen short of God's glory {Romans 3:23 compare to Romans 5:12} but out of His infinite mercy God has put away all our sins and ready to redeem us back to Himself {Psalms 103:12-14} that's why He gave us Jesus as a sacrificial lamb {John 3:16} to erase our sins completely! Isaiah 1:18

If Jesus is not a SACRIFICIAL LAMB John the baptist couldn't have referred to Jesus as the LAMB of God who will take away the sin of the world! John 1:29 compare to John 6:51; 1John 2:2

To understand why Jesus Christ barred His followers at that particular point in time from entering the Samaritan's cities even as He entered and preached directly to them Himself, one would need to investigate what the prophets said of God's plan for Ephraim and Manasseh. That is a topic for another day and thread.
After going back and forth trying to cover up what you don't understand!

How does giving one's life for a ransom amount to the purging of sins — dying as a sin offering, a burnt offering, or a fellowship offering? undecided
Kobojunkie:
According to Jesus Christ, His Father gave Him the Lost sheep of Israel —the sinners of Israel
Kobojunkie:
Samarians were also Israelites— descendants of Ephraim—, and scripture records Jesus Christ preaching His Gospel to the Samarians beginning with the Samaritan woman at the well.
Jesus was gathering his anointed brothers who will rule with him {Luke 12:32} and according to God's promise only JEWS should be in that little flock! Zechariah 8:23

So when he said the lost sheep of the house of Israel he was referring to those who will make up the 144,000 but since the Jews rejected his offer the invitation was blown open to people from other nations! John 1:11-12

That's the import of his parable about the marriage feast where many were called but few were chosen because the number of those who are supposed to rule with Christ is limited! Matthew 22:1-14

In Ezekiel 34 vs 1 - 31 God of Isreal described His people as sheep that were led astray by their former shepherds and lost as a result. God of Israel declared that He alone would shepherd His sheep, a message echoed by Jesus Christ in John 10 vs 1 - 16 where He proclaimed that He alone was the good shepherd implying that all others were frauds/evil. The identity of those who constitute the Lost Sheep of Israel has absolutely to do with which tribe each belonged but rather their status as far as God's Law. lipsrsealed
Jesus specifically ordered his disciples not to go into Samaria where the ten tribes of Israel lives so he was talking about a geographical location! Matthew 10:5-6

So who are the lost sheep of the house of Israel that Samaritans are excluded?
