God Almighty of the original Torah in the original first Temple in Jerusalem is the only True God.
Churches and Jesus Christ are the inventions of the Roman empire.
Same thing has been happening in churches from the first church but now more people are aware of these due to social media and smart phones.
The Church in Corinth (1 Corinthians and 2 Corinthians) Man is sleeping with his father’s wife. 1 Corinthians 5:1, Paul writes: "It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and of a kind that even pagans do not tolerate: A man is sleeping with his father’s wife."
Immorality: 1 Corinthians 5:1-13 Paul condemns the church for tolerating a case of incest and failing to deal with sexual immorality within the congregation.
Divisions and Factions: 1 Corinthians 1:10-13, 3:1-4 Paul rebukes the Corinthians for forming cliques based on their favorite leaders (e.g., Paul, Apollos, Peter).
The Church in Philippi (Philippians) Selfish Ambition and Disunity: Philippians 2:1-4, 4:2-3 Paul urges the Philippians to set aside selfish ambition and calls out two women, Euodia and Syntyche, urging them to reconcile.
Division and Strife: Galatians 5:15, 5:26 Paul warns against biting and devouring one another, indicating there were conflicts and rivalries within the church.
The Church in Colossae (Colossians) False Teachings: Colossians 2:8-23 Paul warns the Colossians against being taken captive by philosophy, human traditions, and ascetic practices.
The Church in Thessalonica (1 Thessalonians and 2 Thessalonians) Laziness and Idleness: 2 Thessalonians 3:6-15 Paul criticizes some members for being idle and not working, warning the church not to tolerate such behavior.
General Warnings to Churches (Ephesians, Pastoral Epistles) Immorality and False Teaching: Ephesians 4:17-32, 5:1-20 Paul admonishes the Ephesian church to avoid impurity, greed, and corrupt speech.
Rebukes to Leaders: In 1 Timothy 1:3-7 and Titus 1:10-16, Paul criticizes church leaders who teach false doctrines or fail to meet godly standards.

That's the reason you are so submissive to the rulers of your organisation, even with all that has been exposed, as you believe you are all SLAVES under them.
The Jews you hate so much for not following your invented Jesus Christ were not like you that will submit to any the ruler then that invented your Jesus Christ and gave you the New Testament storybook to believe in whether you like it or not because you don't have any right under their imposed invented Jesus Christ as you must obey them or loose your life. This was why the Jews went to war with the Roman empire, unlike you that will serve any idol they give you so that you can save your life.
You must be getting paid by your organisation for you to be so submissive to them and will do all you can to defend them because of your love for the money you are getting from them.
MaxInDHouse: You're not getting the point but i will explain it for you.
All humans are SLAVES under the world rulers whether you like it or not because you don't have any right under their imposed system of rule so whether you choose to serve president A or B you must obey them or loose your life.
That's what Paul and Jesus taught!
The reason for this is because God promised a total freedom when His Kingdom comes that's the time true freedom will be found globally until then we have to serve under these people as SUBJECTS of course when we prove to be obedient they will focus on those kicking against their rules instead of thinking about us and don't forget that they also wants to justify themselves as good rulers so if they are treating obedient subjects under them badly how can their fight against opposers/rebels?
Dtruthspeaker: As you can see he repented but God did not accept it.
We all know it is that evil phenomenon that falls upon a person after he has done evil and Satan leaves, that there eyes now open and "e don clear you" moment take place, like eve complaining "he beguiled me".
Too late. The devil using Dtruthspeaker cannot be forgiven!
You are the devil using Dtruthspeaker and cannot be forgiven
John 6:70: Jesus answered them, “Did I not choose you, the twelve, and one of you is a devil?” 71He spoke of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, for it was he who would betray Him, being one of the twelve.
But later the devil had remorse and new he had sinned.
Matthew 27:3 Then when Judas, who had betrayed Him, saw that He had been condemned, he felt remorse and returned the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, saying, “I have sinned by betraying innocent blood.”
One day Satan too will feel remorse and will repent and be saved. Halleluiah
MaxInDHouse: You're really funny! Slaves to where? Ọmọ anywhere they take us it's preaching and teaching galore!
When you have to fear your master worshipping idols as in Ephesians 6:5: Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear, and with sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ.
So you will have no choice but to follow and worship your master's idols first before Jesus Christ.
MaxInDHouse: Whatever they want we will give them as long as we can go about preaching and teaching the Kingdom of God the Hall is not a problem after all we can gather elsewhere for instructions on how to go about the work
No if they find you teaching or gathering elsewhere without putting their idol first then you and others in that gathering will be sold as as slaves
MaxInDHouse: I will surrender to any ruler that proved to be greater among all of them until God comes to establish righteous rule!
And they will display their idol in your kingdom hall as the number on religion for you to worship and your Jehovah as secondary and if you agree then there will be peace
MaxInDHouse: Nobody will invade you if you surrender to be a subject under the rule of such a commander. Today if Americans come to say they want to make Nigeria one of their states it's not about slavery but ruling Nigeria from America.
That's what happened back then!
That was not what happened back then.
War was by numbers back then. The Roman empire sent seventy thousand soldiers to Israel and the Jews fought back but they did not have the same numbers as the Romans which led to the Romans taken Jerusalem.
You can surrender to Mali if they match on your town without putting up a fight!
MaxInDHouse: Romans didn't enslave the Jews they colonized them just as English colonized Nigerians that's why some Jews are allowed to nationalize as Romans.
Slavery was everywhere back then so Paul was telling slaves who embrace Christianity not to think the love Christ commanded believers to have among themselves changed their statues!
What makes slavery and invading another peoples nation ok then but not now? So it's only betraying Jesus that make someone a devil!
The New Testament was written after the: The First Jewish-Roman War (66–73 CE): Event: After the Roman army, led by Titus, destroyed the Second Temple in 70 CE, many Jews were taken as slaves. But for now we can leave this for later.
The verse you quoted did not apply to the Roman invaders and the rich at the time buying/selling slaves and the slaves were even told: Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear, and with sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ Ephesians 6:5.
It seems it's for the poor so that they will not try hustling for money.
MaxInDHouse: Indisputable point! Satan according to the Bible has never showed remorse because remorse leads to repentance so if Judas Iscariot is devil then why did he show remorse?
The truth is found in Paul's letter to Timothy:
To be sure, there is great gain in godly devotion along with contentment. For we have brought nothing into the world, and neither can we carry anything out. So, having food and clothing, we will be content with these things. But those who are determined to be rich fall into temptation and a snare and many senseless and harmful desires that plunge men into destruction and ruin. For the love of money is a root of all sorts of injurious things, and by reaching out for this love some have been led astray from the faith and have stabbed themselves all over with many pains. 1Timothy 6:6-10
The highlighted in blue is what happened to Judas Iscariot not that God chose him rather he gave in to selfish desires which makes him easy to get for Satan!
Righthussle: It's shameful how you refer to the "juju" of our colonisers as "real" and how you think the religion of our forefathers submitted to the religion of our colonisers. Let me remind you that the same people that colonised us also colonised India and China. What is the case in India and China today, majority of Indians practice Hinduism while almost all Chinese are Buddhists. This is because Indians and the Chinese didn't buy into the lies of their colonisers about the religions of their forefathers. They never accepted that their religion and culture was demonic, they refused to demonize the religion of their people instead they defended, remodelled and preserved it. You hardly see an Indian or a Chinese who would speak bad about the ways of his people. Only in Africans will you see such fools who will openly destroy and desecrate temples, shrines and things that our people consider holy without shame.
Because in Buda and in Hindu they have it on record that Jesus came to them to learn black magic. This is the reason their own juju did not submit to the invaders invented religion of the fake Jesus Christ the son of god which our forefathers African juju submitted to as it has not heard of Jesus christ before.
So you were with the elders when they were discussing about Jesus and the fig tree for you to know the fig tree was literal.
If you don't understand then it's you that needs to explain what you wrote hear and show where God is happy with such nations in the Old Testament: "The Romans don't have God's laws so if they go contrary to it or disregard any prophet God sent they are doing so UNKNOWINGLY unlike the Jews in whose laws it's written"
MaxInDHouse: When elderly people are talking they often use idioms and proverbs in their utterances and they don't expect everyone to grasp what they are saying because such information is not for people who aren't ready to work with them so those who understands will have to explain to those who wants to know what is required to work with the wise and elderly people.
I don't know what you mean by the highlighted can you please simplify it?
Tonight, Russian Orthodox Christians are joyfully celebrating Christmas, a deeply cherished and spiritual holiday in Russia. Observed on January 7th according to the Julian calendar, Orthodox Christmas marks the birth of Jesus Christ and is a time for faith, family, and tradition.
Then why not just take the whole New Testament as a literal story instead of picking what you like to be a literal story.
Show where in the Old Testament God forgave nations like the Roman empire that were not following his laws apart from Nineveh that repented.
MaxInDHouse: The fig tree is an illustration showing that the Jewish nation has not produced the expected fruit of faith so the curse was for the Jewish nation not a literal tree. The Romans don't have God's laws so if they go contrary to it or disregard any prophet God sent they are doing so UNKNOWINGLY unlike the Jews in whose laws it's written:
I (GOD) will raise up for them (Israel) from the midst of their brothers a prophet like you, and I will put my words in his mouth, and he will speak to them all that I command him. Indeed, I will require an account from the man who will not listen to my words that he will speak in my name. Deuteronomy 18:18-19
Jesus is the only prophet who proved to be like a God in Israel just as Moses did {Exodus 7:1 compare to Isaiah 9:6} that's why the same Jesus was used to pronounce God's judgment on that nation! Matthew 21:43; 23:37-38
Righthussle: This thread is for shameless Africans who are in love with their slave masters' religion.
The reason they are in love with the invented religions forced on them is because the African religion submitted to the invaders invented religions during the invasions and so Africans ended up combining the invaders religions with their African religion but they will be pretending that the are only following the invented religions forced on them by the invaders. Unless the African religion can defeat the real juju of the invaders, if not Africans will continue to follow the invented religions forced on them
But why did Jesus not also direct his anger towards the Roman soldiers superiors who came and invaded his homeland, like he always did to his own people even the innocent tree he did not forgive:
In front of the Romans your Jesus is very gentle and remembers to forgive but in front of his own people he forgets about forgiveness: Matthew 23:13: "Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You shut the door of the kingdom of heaven in people's faces." Matthew 23:33: "You snakes! You brood of vipers! How will you escape being condemned to hell?" John 8:44: "You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires." Matthew 11:20-24: "Then Jesus began to denounce the towns in which most of his miracles had been performed, because they did not repent." Luke 19:41-44: "The days will come upon you when your enemies will build an embankment against you... They will not leave one stone on another, because you did not recognize the time of God’s coming to you."
Even the tree that had not sinned, he could not forgive: Matthew 21:18-19: "Early in the morning, as Jesus was on his way back to the city, he was hungry. Seeing a fig tree by the road, he went up to it but found nothing on it except leaves. Then he said to it, 'May you never bear fruit again!' Immediately the tree withered."
MaxInDHouse: Roman soldiers that executed Jesus acted on the orders from their superiors who thought Jesus must have been another rebel leader like what we have today called Boko Haram. During the time Jesus was born a Galilean was parading himself as Christ but after committing a lot of atrocities he was captured by the Roman authorities and executed so all the thugs following him scattered, another rose few years after him with many zealots following him claiming he is the Christ and the same thing happened to him, regarding these two men Jesus later said:
"All those who have come in place of me are thieves and plunderers; but the sheep have not listened to them." John 10:8 compare to Act 5:36-37
So the Roman soldiers treated Jesus (whom they don't know) as another rebel leader since that's the report Pharisees brought against him! Luke 23:2
But as for Judas he knew everything the Christ stands for and was taught by the Christ himself yet he allowed the love of money to rob him off everlasting life! 1Timothy 6:6-10
Jesus' prayer can't work for someone who intentionally disregard what Christ taught due to love of money! Mark 8:36
Your post just does not make any sense, you just want to argue because you are just so confused
SIRTee15: Did the old testament ever mentioned the Messiah would be the salvation to the world?
Regarding begotten son, read this...
Psalm 2.7 I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee. FYI ANCIENT JUDIASM REGARD PSALM 2.7 AS A MESSIANIC PSALM.
I have presented you with evidence which are the truth from the OT, but because you hate the truth and prefer to hold on the the invented story of the NT is the reason you are so confused now.
Now answer this question: Where in the OT did your God say he will send his only begotten son to come this world and" "I will also make him a light for the Gentiles, that my salvation may reach ends of the earth."?
SIRTee15: Hahahaha So Israel is acting as both 2nd and 3rd person in the same passage. U go fear extent people go to manipulate scriptures.
And now the Lord says— he who formed me in the womb to be his servant to bring Jacob back to him and gather Israel to himself, for I am[a] honored in the eyes of the Lord and my God has been my strength— 6 he says: “It is too small a thing for you to be my servant to restore the tribes of Jacob and bring back those of Israel I have kept. I will also make you a light for the Gentiles, that my salvation may reach
So the servant who is Israel is anointed by God to gather himself to God. Then he will bring himself again to God as Jacob. Then he will restore himself as Israel to God, then God will give Israel salvation so that he can bring salvation to Israel.
Confusion galore!!!! Every religion belief makes sense until U produce evidence that are quickly destroyed by simple logic. See as your theology is crumbling in your own eyes. God will help out black Jewish brethren.
Israel is the servant. Isaiah 41:8-9 "But you, Israel, my servant, Jacob, whom I have chosen, you descendants of Abraham my friend, I took you from the ends of the earth, from its farthest corners I called you. I said, ‘You are my servant’; I have chosen you and have not rejected you."
I know the servant you are thinking of is the character in your NT storybook, invented by the Roman empire
SIRTee15: Somvinya, see as I destroy evidence of your fellow African Jew. He's stuck and has no where to go.
Pls help him
He brought Isaiah 49.6 as evidence judiasm is for the whole world.
The LORD says: “It is too small a thing for you to be my servant to restore the tribes of Jacob and bring back those of Israel I have kept. I will also make YOU a light for the Gentiles, that my salvation may reach to the ends of the earth.”
Now my question is who is that servant of the LORD that will be the light of the gentiles and bring the LORD's salvation to them.
Who is the LORD's servant that will make Judiasm for everyone. Answer the question.
