Ok. Perhaps you should consider the understanding of the Trinity of God. That helped and still helps me a lot.
This message below along with other teachings helped my understanding.

You're wasting your time

Patience brother, we are all growing sir. He only seeks to understand. Grace to us all.

Why me? Or have I said anything out of turn ni? People have different problems. Some problems big pass other problems

budaatum:
Your monkey is you muttley, and you make it your circus when you quote me without recognising that I'm not one of those sheep you can convince that you are God's mouthpiece. It's been my point all along which just goes right over your level

Trust I havent a monkey to get off my back and I have never in my life to date, own or have a monkey

I dont know what you are. I have never pictured you in my mind talkless think you are a sheep.

I do know I am a moG and also remember Jesus saying, "A prophet is honored everywhere except in his own hometown and among his relatives and his own family" When you resort to shooting at the messenger and not the message, there certainly is a monkey on someone's back somewhere

budaatum:
I am not Thomas, muttley. I am buda, the buda that believes not but makes use of the brain and mind that the Lord God gave buda so buda can seek understanding, which I do not need permission from you to do.

If you missed buda's attitude to "believing", start here.

Not my circus, not my monkeys. To each his own monkeys budaatum. I am just a flipping messenger. Deal with the message budaatum, not humbly, mister nice guy, me

budaatum:
Jesus never asked people not to do quite a number of things (eat sand or hair springs to mind), so by your logic I pressume one is allowed to do such things?

Of course, what floats your boat. Whatever makes you sleep soundly at night

budaatum:
Sorry, but I don't share that mode of reasoning.

Suit yourself

budaatum:
You sound like one of the sheep calling out to other sheep to obey the shepherd like you do lol. Can you not recognise I have a brain too?

C'mon now, show me where I've put a gun to your head and at same time coddling you to bow down and worship Jesus, erhn?

budaatum:
Your instances do not trump the evidence gained from my use of my own God given abilities and the use of my own God given senses. One does not follow the multitude to do that which is done out of ignorance because one is not a brainless sheepie.

Even doubting Thomas, out of ignorance and with his brain, joined the multitude to do which is done, when he eventually believed.

budaatum:
A trick I'm delighted to miss since it means I'd rather learn and understand Christ than bow down and worship or honour and revere Christ. It's the difference between seeing through dark glass and knowing.

"⁶Though he was God, He did not think of equality with God as something to cling to.
⁷Instead, He gave up His divine privileges; He took the humble position of a slave
and was born as a human being. When He appeared in human form
⁸He humbled Himself in obedience to God and died a criminal’s death on a cross.
⁹Therefore, God elevated him to the place of highest honor and gave Him the name above all other names,
¹⁰that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow in heaven and on earth and under the earth,,
¹¹and every tongue declare that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."
- Philippians 2:6-11

Something must kill a man or man must one day die. Whether you delight to miss or not delight to miss, Philippians 2:10 from Philippians 2:6-11 above will actualise and come to pass

budaatum:
There is a reason why it is written that the Gospel is preached to the poor. As you well know, the Holy Spirit gives each individual the ability to understand as much as they put in the effort to understand.

That's the thing, levels of understanding and ability to understand are different

budaatum:
Besides, to the best of my knowledge, Christ never asked anyone to "bow down and worship or honour and revere" Christ.

To the best of everyone's knowledge, Jesus never asked anyone to not worship Him either, so, I still maintain that you are allowed to bow down and worship Jesus Christ.

Besides, I have given you quite a few instances of different sort of people bowing down and worshipping Jesus and Jesus never once stopped or rebuked any of them for bowing down and worshipping Him.

Dafemich:
I read something on YouTube recently and I became confuse. Myles Munroe said God doesn't tell you who to marry. I have always held on to the believe that God must show who to marry as a Christian. So, my question is, does God tell us who to marry?

Yes, God does tell, who to marry. For example, God, in fact, tells the sort of woman good to marry gan sef.

budaatum:
Would you permit me to add the Holy Bible as a common idol of some please? Many do bow down and worship it even though they don't know they do.

I'd like to add Jesus Christ too but don't think that would go down well.

It wouldn't go down well because you err

pressplay411:
Lol Isn't Jesus Christ God?

"Kayefi", somebori was confused

pressplay411:
The Scriptures (Bible) could become an idol though as theologians often become puffed up in knowledge as the Pharisees and Scribes who ended up crucifying the Saviour they had been reading and teaching about.

The Scriptures (Bible) not only could become an idol, it often and regurlarly is abused, misused and misconstrued

budaatum:
I wouldn't agree that Jesus Christ were God. God's Son, they say, but not Yahweh himself. I just can't see Yahweh submitting to crucifixion without turning everyone on earth to salt first or wiping it out with a flood or fire or something equally as devastating.

If you want something done right, what do you do? Do it yourself, right? Well that is exactly what Yahweh did budaatum. It so happens that through crucifixion, is the de jure way for Yahweh to die. He allowed Himself to legally, as in according to the law be put to death. Unless asked to, I am not saying more, for not wanting to slip into unnecessary yadayada

pressplay411:
If you submit to the Word of God, then you will agree even without fully understanding it.
This Scripture says it all.

1 Timothy 3:16
And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.

"Wa gbayi" Real men, strong men, stand on the word of God, eat meat and only have milk with meals or for recreation.

budaatum:
I'm not the sort to submit to what I do not understand. If I did that, if Jesus did that in fact, he would have succumbed to the temptation on the mountain through a lack of understanding, and if I submit to what I do not understand it would mean that I completely misunderstood Christ's teachings. Christ, after all did not submit to the teachings of his day.

"The Oral Law of the Jews (later written as the talmud)- the interpretation of Moses' Law by the Scribes and Pharisees. It is followed by the Orthodox Jews to this day as of equal authority to the Bible. They falsely claimed it was passed down from Moses by word of mouth. Jesus clashed with Pharisees over this law. He rejected it and came against it's legalistic spirit (e.g. Matthew 15:2-3, Mark 7:1-9)"
- by MuttleyLaff: 8:00pm On Aug 30, 2015

Christ, after all did not submit to the teachings of His day budaatum, because, Jesus Christ, in every sense of the word, is a deconstructionist

budaatum, you surely have read it so many times, of Jesus saying: "You have heard that it was said…But I say to you", now that there, of Jesus with those words, deconstructing and all that's in the above MuttleyLaff inverted commas, is the reason why Jesus couldnt submit to the teachings of His day.

I could you, could tell us more whats happened with as you said "Christ, after all, not submitting to the teachings of His day" but of course, I dont want to yield to committing unnecessary yadayada

budaatum:
Solomon is my guide in this...

If Solomon is your guide, then this is you scoring an own goal.

After Jesus Christ, King Solomon, inarguably is the man with the most sense and common sense and sense wiseness, that ever lived, who started well in 2 Chronicles 1:12, but on getting towards the end of his life, finished badly, when wisdom that was first and in the forefront, as in, was a most important feature and first position in his life, by the time we reached reading 2 Chronicles 9:22, had got been relegated to last.

Nobaga, no shishi baaga, with any iota of sense wiseness, relegates wisdom to the last. Do it at your peril.

Jesus Christ, throughout His stay on earth, until death, increased in wisdom, but King Solomon, until death, decreased in wisdom or relegated wisdom.

budaatum:
... for in seeking first the Kingdom of God all other things were added unto him. I'd rather ask God for understanding so that I do not have to submit.

"Give me the wisdom and knowledge to lead them properly, (i.e. so that I may lead this people)
for who could possibly govern this great people of yours?"
- 2 Chronicles 1:10

King Solomon was not blessed with, all other things, like riches and wealth, and honour added unto him, for seeking first the Kingdom of God. King Solomon was already in the kingdom, as in fact, he already sought the kingdom, and so was not blessed because of that.

The fact of the matter is, King Solomon, was secondarily blessed, as in, he was blessed with less important things, which were riches, wealth and honour because of what he prayed for and how he prayed it, this is reproduced as seen in 2 Chronicles 1:10 above

Wisdom and knowledge, as in information, is very important. It wasnt money, power, riches and wealth that corrupted King Solomon, it was the lack of appreciating sense wiseness and not anymore embracing wisdom, to be the most important thing in ones life and walk with God

Proverbs 4:6-7 says: "Don’t turn your back on wisdom, for she will protect you. Love her, and she will guard you. That wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting, get understanding"

Pray like King Solomon, to have wisdom and knowledge, so to be able to use all that you have, all that's in your care, all that you're blessed with, like your intellect, your senses, your body, mind and soul, properly and in ways that will please God. Never relegate wisdom, like King Solomon, later in life, did.

budaatum:
I don't bow down and worship Jesus Christ or honour and revere him, whether permitted to or not. I learn from his teaching instead.

"⁷You hypocrites! Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you:
⁸'These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me.
⁹Their worship of me is pointless, because their teachings are rules made by humans."
- Matthew 15:7-9

"¹Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the east came to Jerusalem,
²saying, “Where is he who has been born king of the Jews? For we saw his star when it rose and have come to worship Him.
¹¹When they entered the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary. So they bowed down and worshiped Him. Then they opened their treasure chests and offered him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh."
- Matthew 2:1-2 & 11

"The Father wants all people to honor the Son as much as they honor Him.
When anyone refuses to honor the Son, this is the same as refusing to honor the Father who sent him."
- John 5:23

As can be seen from the inexhaustible above scripture, in showing honour and reverence, you are permitted to bow down and worship Jesus Christ, and even particularly, also to importantly, learn from His teaching too. The trio, showing honour, reverence and learning, are three Musketeers and chambermates

Different people, from all walks of life, bow and bowed down to Jesus Christ, from the Samaritan who was a leper asking for healing, to the synagogue official asking Him to bring his daughter back to life, to soldiers mocking Him when He was hanging and dying on the cross, to the Canaanite woman asking Him for help etcetera

You are missing a trick budaatum, and you fail to notice and take advantage of a good thing, if you dont bow down and worship Jesus Christ or honour and revere Him

budaatum:
Would you permit me to add the Holy Bible as a common idol of some please? Many do bow down and worship it even though they don't know they do.

I'd like to add Jesus Christ too but don't think that would go down well.

You are, in showing honour and reverence, permitted to bow down and worship Jesus Christ

It may not make sense to you
unless you have participated
or are experienced in religious &/or spiritual abuse.

MuttleyLaff:
Every believer is entitled to money and material possessions, this is the reason why God blessed King Solomon with riches, and wealth, and honour as a secondary. Wisdom and knowledge are first, when holy men stick to wisdom and knowledge, there wont be an abuse of position, money and material possessions, even if you have 1.1 billion in the bank and 1001 women swooning at your feet.

Always run away from temptations and quickly, so they dont catch up to you. The devil tempts all men, and idle men, even let the devil tempt them. He who cannot resist temptation is not a real man.

PoliteActivist:
Men are not designed to resist temptation, that's why the prayer is "lead us not into temptation" NOT "help us resist temptation". Sex drive, for example, is a premodial, very powerful urge. The only way to fight it is preemptively - keep away from people and situations that can lead to it. That means avoiding being alone with people u find sexually attractive

"Run from temptations that capture young people.
Always do the right thing. Be faithful, loving, and easy to get along with.
Worship with people whose hearts are pure."
- 2 Timothy 2:22

Aside 2 Timothy 2:22 above, I am sure that you are aware that the Pope has approved changing the translation of the line "and lead us not into temptation" into "do not let us fall into temptation"

You underestimate man, the work of God. Man is designed by God to do a lot of things, and that includes, resisting and not falling into temptation. If God for once thought man is incapable of resisting temptation, Adam wouldnt have been left to resist eating the fruit, Jesus wouldnt have been sent into the wilderness by the Holy Spirit to be tempted 3 times by Satan

It's easier to avoid temptation than resist it. How do you avoid temptation? It's simply and easily by fleeing from temptation. You run, with your legs not touching the ground, just like the way, the cartoon character, Speedy Gonzales, the fastest mouse in all Mexico does. Run like Joseph ran, leaving his garment behind, in his temptress' hand

Estate360:
some persons believes its LOVE!
while some others argue that MONEY! establish's LOVE!
so what's your take in this...

for me..i think MONEY has a role it plays but LOVE is bedrock of all successful relationship/marriage

Money does help, makes it smoother and easier, but agape "unconditional" love is the answer

Magnoliaa:
Knowledge?

It is good, it actually is one of the requirements when in a relationship and marriage, in fact it is a requirement, an expectation during romantic intimacy. It is very important, in that respect, but there are two other things that are ahead of knowledge and are absolutely necessary.

tommyken:
The word "Love" is a general term, the two things I know that can sustain relationship and marriage is Truthfulness and Respect.

The meaning of the word love is not really appropriately or suitably described in the English language, the Greeks express love in a spectrum that ranges from agape "unconditional" love to eros "sex centered" love. They actually have have 7-8 ways of expressing love.

Magnoliaa:
And if the person doesn't value you or if your personalities just doesn't click?

Truthfulness too... can that still prevent bitterness and all other ills from coming up?

Where there is respect and love, the relationship and marriage will thrive.

Some women find it hard to respect their partners/husbands, and some men find it hard to love their partners/wives. As it happens, what you respect, you value, and wouldnt badmouth, wouldnt ridicule, belittle etcetera. What you love, you treasure and wouldnt want to harm, maltreat, cheat on etcetera. Women easily fall in love, but easily lose respect for their husbands. Men quickly dont love their wives well enough, not stray, not to maltreat them. This is why women are strongly advised to respect their husbands and men to love their wives.

Magnoliaa:
How's everything going to be all right? What will make them be?

"And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes;
and there shall be no more death,
neither sorrow, nor crying,
neither shall there be any more pain:
for the former things are passed away."
- Revelation 21:4

Please dont make me think for a moment, that you feel that, God is experimenting with humans and that's why you asked the question: how's everything going to be all right. Well Magnoliaa, Revelation 21:4, above is a very useful, educational and informative scripture

Magnoliaa:
Are you saying those things are also a part of God's plan for the perfection of man to be achieved (i.e becoming a likeness of God)?

Yes, absolutely and there are no two ways about it. What comes easy won't last, what lasts won't come easy. Think about that

Magnoliaa:
It'll be GOD buying that piece of wall art then, lol. If you're comparing that to the reason for the Creation of man.

I was just giving you a perspective you can relate with to understand that things we do have purposes. We as human beings, hardly do things without purpose, people buy a piece of wall art, for different reasons. Just like week, an acquaintance, was telling me of one of his rich customers, who is into buying work of art paintings, as a future investment. Meanwhile, an average home owner, like you and I, would buy piece of wall arts, to adorn on our living room wall, for aesthetic purposes, as in the purpose to decorate and beautify the living room with it, as an expression of our panache, taste, class etcetera.

Magnoliaa:
God made man in His image and likeness at the beginning, how then can he be less than good? An handiwork of God?

God, who knows everything and so in His omniscience, knew that man, after creation, is an unfinished article, not to the desired final state. We all are work in progress, that is why being approved as good was not, like others during creations, assigned to man. If man was good, man wouldnt have fallen from grace

Magnoliaa:
And didn't the Bible also call men gods?

Yes, it did, and thats a fact and true because man became god the moment soon after eating fruit

Magnoliaa:
What does that mean?

It means exactly what it says on the tin. It is a perfect and accurate description of man.

What do you think gods do, Magnoliaa? They, in the simplest form of explanation, judge. It's all about coming to a decision, making a decision, reaching a decision, make up one's mind over something or anything.

Man got catapulted to being god, the moment soon after eating off the "The Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil", It is the judging experience of knowing what is good and what is bad began that qualified man to be called god. The capacity to come to a decision concerning a person, someone or something, is what makes man a god. Man will even judge angels, we're informed

Magnoliaa:
The Bible said man was created in the image and likeness of God. The likeness was there already.

"²⁶And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness:
[s]and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.[/s]
²⁷So God created man in His own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them."
- Genesis 1:26-27

Magnoliaa, please forgive the strikeouts, I did it because I dont want you get distracted by the struck out content. Now closely examine Genesis 1:26-27 above, then carefully and thoughtfully find what stands out as strikingly and oddly missing in Genesis 1:27

I am sure you made the observation that God in Genesis 1:26 had said "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness" but in Genesis 1:27, man was only made in His image, nothing about the other half, likeness is mentioned. It wasnt until Genesis 5:1, that the subject "likeness of God" ever surfaced. Even that likeness is shortlived, because by Genesis 5:3, when Adam had his son, the son is in Adam's likeness, after Adam's image and not anymore God's. The likeness is no more there already Magnoliaa. Sorry.

"Christ is the visible likeness of the invisible God (i.e. image that exactly reflects its source)..."
- Colossians 1:15a

"He is the reflection of God's glory (i.e. mirror-like representation) and the exact likeness of His being"
- Hebrews 1:3a

I wish you take to Colossians 1:15a and Hebrews 1:3a profoundly, have a sudden realization and great revelation because they both, are talking of the living embodiment of God, about the road that leads to perfection, to all and what is good, what God is and is about, Magnoliaa. Each day with Christ, we are becoming the exact likeness of God.

Please continue, if necessary, to freely ask questions, maybe ask, to shed more light or do just a plain rfi (i.e. request for information). I am online 24/7

PS: Magnoliaa for some weird reason, I changed some parts of my earlier post that was in pigdin to proper English, thinking you are Asian, and not Naija that the meanings might get lost of you being Asian. Maybe the moniker choice ID and being a fan of K-Pop Superstars BTS threw me

Anas09:
I think I'm old enough to respect myself...

I've heard it said, you cant teach an old dog new tricks. This probably explains, why you've gone to update your moves for another one, an old, out of your dirty old bag of tricks.

Anas09:
... so I'll let you go on.

No, dont let me go on Anas09. Your own don three much. C'mon, I want you to prove that I have put out wrong interpretations on each and everything I have mentioned on this thread.

Anas09, instead of giving me lip, going bumpety-bump and having this brawl with me, you ought to be and should have been inquiring about those things I so far have deconstructed and the elephants in the room introduced to interlocutors of the thread.

There's no skills involved in this by me, its just the grace of God, the grace of God to yakpaa, so if you think you have same, why not, you just stand toe to toe with me and hit me with your best shot, erhn Anas09? I dont hit females, so no chance of me hitting you back. OK? Have you sat down, seized a quiet moment and taken time out, to really get to know and understand the terms, "pornos", "malakoi/malakos", "arsenokoites" "sodomite/sodomy" "qadesh/qedeshah" etcetera and the circumstance(s) in how they were truthfully and originally in the first place used, hmm?

The object of this thread, afterall, is to descontruct, to reduce certain biblical texts, verses and words, like those mentioned in above paragraph, individually, to their original constituent parts. This done, in order to uncover the lies and all what these certain biblical texts, verses and words are not saying. After which, to then explain, the same biblical texts, verses and words from what really, truthfully, genuinely and originally is being said with them and get to now have correct understanding of what in the first place and at the start, is really and truthfully being said with them

Joromi12:
and not koran, torah or Vedas?

Now you are increasingly appearing confused like a fart let ripped out, on the production line, inside a fan-making factory

Anas09:
This is "Argumentum ad mesericordiam". You are trying to emotionally blackmail Christians into accepting what their God forbids.
Go on Bros, but no amount of this black mail will work for me.

You have known me long enough to.know I can't be beaten into that Corner.

You are trying every single trick in your bag of tricks erhn, so its the turn of "Argumentum ad mesericordiam" sic to use, erhn?.

Anas09, if you have to use big educated words to appear learned and sound educated, at least get the spelling of the big educated phrase, right now. It is true you're devoid of that compassion and have no empathy, you have just confirmed it by your own public admission

This thread has nothing do to with "emotionally blackmail". It has to do with truth and you apparently have no clue what that is. Lets go through the bible together, lets both examine it closely, carefully and thoroughly to see if you ever can prove that all I've written so far, on this thread is wrong. Let's both together, check out and see what exactly, specifically and truly it is, God in Leviticus 18:22 and 20:13 forbade Anas09.

I have on this thread, been stating and putting forward facts but you have been busy running away from knowing the facts, dropping the ball, dropping things, like as if hot for your liking. Everything I have typed on this thread can be fact-checked by you or any inclined reader

Joromi12:
sigh i hear. There is no manual in life.

Sigh all you like, it changes not the fact about the Bible being a manual for life

Shepherd00:
If you think you make sense, then go.on but stop mentioning me in your comments. No be by force say I go talk to you.

Stop responding to any of MuttleyLaff posts. Dont bastardise the MuttleyLaff moniker by adding notations to it, especially when gossipping or hidely backbiting. Who needs talking with you when you are good riddance to bad rubbish. No one in their right mind, will ever feel left out, not talking to you. I do recall once telling you that you're not only a time waster but you're an unashamedly time stealer and a time killer anyways.

If you want your wish come true, then stay your lane, and dont respond to this post or any with MuttleyLaff in it.

Joromi12:
the bible could not give them the succor or comfort u claim it gives. Was Judas a christian?

There are principles of God, principles of life, that works for everyone, whether you believe in it or not, whether you are theist or you are atheist. Case in point the principle of gravity, that what goes up in the air must come down. You can test it by jumping off a high rise building without a parachute and see what happens

Asking whether Judas was a christian, shows it's a question asked by an uninformed questioner, because it was long after the death of Judas, that disciples were called Christian by the the people of Antioch. What an own goal.

Shepherd00:
What is this one saying? Must you mention me in your claptraps?

Read what you typed again and see if you made any Sense.

Pls, leave me alone.

Is the moniker Shepherd00 copyrighted, that it cant be mentioned. You seeking for attention somebody, claiming you were mentioned "upandan" when it was a one-off mention that appeared in a reproduced quote.

Reading to get understanding has never been your forte anyway, so I am not surprised. O saarọ kutukutu Monday, it's Monday morning and too early in the week for your tantrum outbursts. "Kuro lọna jọr"

Joromi12:
how can bible be life manual. The over 3billion muslims and hindus dont use it. So how is it a manual. I repeat life has no manual. You can follow bible torah koran and ur life ends up miserable. We have see pastors commit suicide. U can be an atheist and life is smooth for u. I repeat life has no manaul.

So what about seen pastors commit suicide? Did Judas Iscariot too not commit suicide ni, hmm? What's new about pastors committing suicide? "Ẹẹri wọn lẹhin Jesu, no mean say dem be disciple nau"

Magnoliaa:
What's the intent of God for creating the world, (maybe the galaxy and space yonder too), mankind?

"Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power:
for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created (i.e. was created because of your will)"
- Revelation 4:11

"The people whom I formed for Myself Will declare My praise."
- Isaiah 43:21

The intent, as seen from Revelation 4:11 & Isaiah 43:21 above, is the actualisation and/or realization of a God determination, wish, desire, ambition, idea, dream etcetera

Magnoliaa:
And the pain, stuggles, and issues we all face--what are they for? Only to meet death at the end?

Dont worry about all that, because at last, at last, in spite of the pain, struggles, and issues we all face, we will in the end of it all be alright. You were born to be real, not to be perfect. We are not perfect, never have been but will be. Death, pain, stuggles, and issues we all face can seem so unfair, but what do we know?

Magnoliaa:
Is there something/some things we are to do while here? And if there is, that too - what's the reason for it?

"¹⁷And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him
²³Whatever you do, work at it with your whole being, for the Lord and not for men"
- Colossians 3:17&23

Primarily, you are created into existence to be you.

Just to get some perspective, watch this. I imagine you have a flat/apartment/home you bought or rent to live in. If an art lover, you probably bought a hand painted framed canvas wall art, yeah? If I may ask,
1/ What is the purpose of you buying the hand painted framed canvas wall art?.
2/ Is there something the hand painted framed canvas wall art is meant to be doing whilst in your flat/apartment/home?
3/ What happens to the hand painted framed canvas wall art, the moment it doesnt anymore live up to your expectation or desire?

"Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness..."
- Genesis 1:26a

If your Bible verses memory serves you well, you'll recall that unlike each preceeding creation declared good, the good noun or adjective wasnt used for man. I am sure you know why? Of course, it's because God knew man wasnt good enough talkless be considering perfection.

To be perfect, means unable to improve any further, but remember no where in the Bible is man mentioned as being good or created perfect, so we effectively are here to become a better person, better human beings, better people, and the reason is to fully and truly show the image and likeness to the Godhead.

Could give some info about good, but it'll be outside the scope of the request for information (RFI) and possibly be more than enough info too.

Magnoliaa:
Or everything is just without a purpose (which is contrary to who God is)?

Nah, God, always is a purposeful God, not nor never a whims and caprices God

Magnoliaa:
I'd like answers or some explanations from the Bible alone and from Christians.

Already obliged

Inteltower:
ALERT!!! a lot of events are happening all over the world. & what's amazing is how the bible had recorded about them.
in the book of revelations it pointed out how the temperature of the sun will keep increasing & be unbearable for people.
believers & unbelievers take note.
as continents merge themselves to have one single currency.. it won't take time when these continents begin merging together to also have a single currency between them. Britain is now finding it hard to leave the European union. we all know what's currently happening in Africa. & the new payment system in China which I believe its making herself an experiment.
may I shock you that Isaiah prophesied the invention of aeroplanes.
its all recorded. Believers & unbelievers take note why am I a Christian is because of the revelation of Christ death on the cross for salvation of my soul & like everyone we are weak & imperfect.

Moslem religion never gave us that but God through Christ.. even onwards to spiritual exploits. If you wish we discuss about how real God is..you can indicate & why Christianity as the real faith ..also indicate. Be warned & be prepared

EmperorHarry:
Please provide the bible verses from Revelations and Isaiah

"Then the fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and it was allowed to burn people with its fiery heat."
- Revelation 16:8

"Who are these who fly like clouds, like doves to their shelters?"
- Isaiah 60:8

Joromi12:
A hoe can make a good wife, a virgin saint can make a bad wife.

A hoe can make a good wife because of genuine love and a virgin saint can make a bad wife because she is low on, short of and/or deficient in genuine love

Joromi12:
Life has no manual.

I vehemently disconcur with you Joromi12 that life has no manual because life does have a manual. It is called the Bible, an acronym for Basic Instruction manual Before Living on Earth aka Beginners Instructions Book for Living on Earth.

Joromi12:
Pastor Chris Okotie and Oyakilome. Pastor Iginla etc got it wrong despite their so called vision seeing skills

To every rule there is an exception, and the likes of Pastors Chris Okotie, Chris Oyakilome, Joshua Iginla etcetera ready to demonstrate it. You don't have to be one too.

Good write up.
Please could you say something about "law" in relation to fulfilling your destiny? As, you have to follow a particular God-given law e.g, a fish should not be out of the water or else it will die.
I was listening to Dr. Myles Munroe last week Sunday on inspiration FM and he was talking on the emphasis on "law" and your purpose. That really got me.

Kindly explain it you understand what I mean.

³⁶"Teacher, which commandment is the greatest in the Law?”
³⁷Jesus declared, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.
³⁸This is the first and greatest commandment.
³⁹And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.
⁴⁰All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments."
- Matthew 22:36-40

The phrase "love your neighbor as yourself" comes from the above Matthew 22:36-40 scripture, which forms part of a Jesus answer to a "which is the greatest commandment in the Law?" evil-minded, having wicked and/or harmful intentions question.

Without belabouring or saying this in excessive detail, the whole essence of man is to love. When you love you are fulfilling your destiny, as well as following a particular God-given law. All EternalBeing is saying is that, when you genuinely love, then thing falls in their places and/or positions for you. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will be done away with, where there are tongues, they will no longer be spoken, where there is knowledge, it will become useless, if not vanish away. But love lasts, and will last forever!

StoneColdBiceps, I've deliberately paused at the above point and fact to keep it short sweet, straightaway direct and simple, but if you have questions, dont be shy nor hesistate to ask so as to shed more light
