Tgirl4real: You should answer so that we can know which instructions you approve for us to follow.

shdemidemi: The scripture never said God went into a covenant with the church so I won't assume we are in any covenant, the scripture also says we are not under the law but it says we are led by the Spirit of God as Christians.

Alwaystrue: @All,
Please see what the bible says:

Luke 16:16
The Law and the Prophets were UNTIL JOHN; SINCE THEN the good news of the kingdom of God is preached, and EVERYONE forces his way into it

John 1:17
For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.

John 1:14
And the WORD BECAME FLESH and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth


The law and prophets were until John and THE WORD OF GOD - JESUS CHRIST came to live with us, FULL OF GRACE AND TRUTH and the Kingdom of God is preached to EVERYMAN (remember the Samaritan woman), all He wanted was to focus on Israel (since it is their bread) first before spreading it to the whole world. IT IS THE SAME GOSPEL pls.

His life on earth as the WORD, was to give GRACE and TRUTH to the words already preached before now. HIS LIFE AND WORDS ON EARTH is the New Testament sealed in His blood (Mathew 26:28).
The Holy Spirit (Another Comforter) coming in Acts of the Apostles was to guide in all truth and remind us of the words of Jesus. This is difference we have between the OT and NT. We have the Spirit.
Thank you.

shdemidemi: Not at all, it can't be wrong to obey your father's instruction but that is of course if you know what the instruction is.

kingk: Though the Summarised law of christ is love............. But mathew 5 really outlined his laws to Christians.

kingk: Please kindly explain what you mean by " Jesus never spoke to Christians in his earthly ministry." His parables I know is not earthly, but where do his law apply? Heavenly?

obadiah777: i am trying my best to be part of the elect or one third. i live a holy life ( well as holy as possible ). i stay in the word ( bible ) almost every hour of the day and study to show myself approved. i meditate on the lords precepts. yes, i hope i am part of the number.

shdemidemi: I can also understand why you agree with him. But if we read thoroughly through the books we might all agree.

Do you agree the Old Testament is the earthly representation and a shadow of the the new. I don't see the old as a story book, I kind of see it as the the dispensation of the flesh and the new as the dispensation of the Spirit.

I see Joseph as a kind of Christ preparing a place for his people in Egypt.

I see Isaac as the church born out of love and the Jews as Ishmael.

I see Moses' snake as the true word of God and the snakes of Jannes and Jambres as having a form of the true word.

I see Abraham as a form of the father Isaac the son and Jacob the Holy Spirit.

I see Israel to mean conquering by the strength of God and more.

How do we choose life in this present age?

Can man ever choose God?

Goshen360: Seconded!!! I'm actually hoping on this too. Infact, Image123 and 'some' hold that Christ is Melchizedek.

Goshen360: You're dishonest in handling the word. Why can't you finish quoting what Christ said in that verse?

Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat: All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not.

What then are they doing (as works) that Christ said disciples should NOT do?

Sounds like some individuals I know on this forum, they preach yashua but cant be botherd with the works he did.

shdemidemi: ^^^^please back your statements with scriptures so we don't use our own falling man's reasoning to say what God is not saying.



Did God go into a covenant with you or your race?

What action did you take to be called an enemy of God before accepting Christ?

I asked you before, I ask again.. What way of life are we really suppose to emulate...

Does emulating Christ mean I should do all he did literally?

Should I try to die for mankind?

I believe following Christ and emulating him simply means following his teachings

What choice?
The scripture says God controls our thoughts and choices when we have His Spirit in us. Even when we think we are making a choice out of our own volition, we unconsciously choose for God.

The bible says Romans 8:30

Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.


He knew us before we were born, He knows our next move and our destination, He called us to himself for He said we did not choose him but He chose us and He justifies us. What really do I have to do here, it's all God that works in me to even think about Him or do any work. Where is my choice here bro?

Do you really think Paul chose to preach this gospel? No. God apprehended him, he arrested him, He chose him just like He does to anyone who is alive in the faith.

Jesus also called all the twelve, none chose him. We remain dead until God calls us, therefore no man can preach any man to salvation, we can only talk. God does the finish work through his word or through disaster.

That verse actually says 'Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me' and not follow my way of life. I believe Christ is saying listen to what I am saying to you, different from literally do what I am doing. I believe Jesus is perfect, I believe no man can by any self ability but by believing the gospel of Christ we are made right in the sight of God.

Mr President: Sire, I fear for the evil these people are peddling. Deceptive and deceitful doctrines propounded by demons and propagated by their agents.

Yashua told us he is the way to The Father, he also told us to learn of Him.

Mathew 11:29
29 Take my yoke upon you,and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

John 14:6
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

John 14:21
He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.

It is by walking the way Yashua walked that we can have access to the Father. These people have refused to keep the commands of Yashua, they can never know the Father, He will never manifest Himself to them!

shdemidemi: The best way I can back that up is by saying Christ did not come as flesh or a mere mortal but he came like one of us, like sinful flesh. He came pure without the gene of Adam. He could not sin because he was pure but every human carry the sinful nature inherited through Adam. I do not have a righteousness of my own, I cannot present any righteousness before God because its all like filthy rag before him but by the blood of Christ, I am hid under his righteousness. God now works in me both to will and do of His (God's)good pleasure if I truly have His Spirit in me.

Deschil: How about Job and Enoch Dem get 2 heads

shdemidemi: We don't know Jesus in the flesh anymore, we can't do the works he did. The difference between Jesus and every other man is that Jesus had no sin nature. The only standard is to believe the gospel of Christ, by doing this we are led by God himself through the help of the Holy Spirit.

TinyPurpleBaby: Lmao...not false weight, price inflation due to fuel....MAN MUSS CHOPU NA!

shdemidemi: What Paul did or did not do is not a standard for us. I have read your arguments about how Paul took part in the the Jewish order. Of course you have a point but the man made it clear that he did all he did to win some even among his brethren and his countrymen according to the flesh.

The word of God remains the only sure word of prophecy. The word says our righteousness as Christians is not measured by the deeds of the law but through Christ.

Tgirl4real: @ Most high,

How you dey bruv? It was most refreshing seeing you guys on that thread.

So, so refreshing.

Tgirl4real: In a nut shell, Jesus is the reincarnation of Michael?

shdemidemi: It remains a miracle how people miss the gospel of Christ or mix it with that of the law. Apostle Paul through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit presented a gospel that imputed righteousness apart from the law. A righteousness separate from the law but mankind would fight all they can to allude righteousness to themselves.

The law could not nail sin, it couldn't reveal the sinfulness of sin but Christ came in the likeness of sinful flesh and nailed sin once and for all.

kingk: (Righteousness is just an extension or attribute of being holy) nice saying,

The most high God is HOLY. But we can also be holy............ Nonetheless I ask again, can a sinner be righteous?, knowing that righteousness is from thy works.

TinyPurpleBaby: Most High are you aware of the fact of you being a comedian? lmaoooo@ Shadow chasers

kingk: Wow! Bro thanks but what does this bible verse explain with being righteous Gen15:6  And he believed in the Lord; and he counted it to him for righteousness. Now I believe righteousness is from what we do, when you do what's right, you're righteous.......also we're not called to be righteous but unto Holiness.

Goshen360: Then those people are simply following SHADOWS, not the SUBSTANCE!!! And with the SHADOWS, the worshipers are never perfect, coming to maturity and they keep repeating same rituals year-in-year out!!!

ayoku777: The thing tire me o. Do you become a bastard everytime you do something your father doesn't like? A christian is not a sinner, even if he sins. Every sin is a sin, no small sin no big sin, and the sin grieves the Holy Spirit alike. Every sin is an imperfection caused by our unreformed soul, but it doesn't revoke our righteousness or unregenerate our regenerated spirit in Christ.

The righteousness of Christ is what justifies us.
And he doesn't take it back each time we sin until we repent.

And we shouldn't even be overly concerned about sin or not sinning. We should focus on the glory of Christ, to behold it and to bring it forth. That will bring us unto perfection faster than any other method of making christians do right.

Goshen360: You be olodo!!! Quote me where I said the above. That's why you read both scriptures and people's comments BUT YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND. I have always said READ OR STUDY THE OT WITH THE EYES OR LENS OF THE NT. That's when you get the revelation of the word. The law was a SHADOW of GOOD THINGS to come, so when u studying it, don't interpret as ENFORCEMENT OF IT'S PHYSICAL ACTS ON BELIEVERS but as good things that is to happen to believers. Do you physically or literally carry out one of the feasts today?
