enilove: Freeze and his agents of darkness at work. Why would Jesus collect tithes and offerings? Was Jesus the high priest? Kayefi. I wonder. enilove: How come this freezer man has not read his bible to where Jesus consented to tithings? Jesus consented to quite a lot of things other than tithing enilove: The answer is simple, freezer or fridge is not a christian but an agent of darkness. If christian had really read the bible, they too wouldnt warn to being called a christian enilove: I wonder why his target is towards tithes and firstfruits. Targeting tithes and firstfruits is his calling enilove: Why has he not for once spoken against the Book Haram and the Fulani killings at all? Speaking against the Boko Haram and the Fulani killings is for somebody else to do At least you've just spoken about it, and that's good You've just discovered your calling enilove: Judgement is in the hand of God Judgment must begin at the house of God enilove: He should face his job and stop paying his own tithe. At this your comment, I imagine Freeze quipping: " I freed a thousand mugus and magas. I could have freed a thousand more if only they knew they were mugus and magas" enilove: Was Abraham a Levite? No, however the first appearance of tithing, in the bible, does get a first mention between Melchizedek and Abraham but, the truth is, neither Melchizedek and Abraham started the 10% giving, otherwise known as tithing, As a matter of fact, tithing was a prevailing practice in the secular world of the Mesopotamia bible day, times of that era Abraham gave tithe under a custom law of that prevailing society setting, this compelled him to give a tenth of war spoils to a king cum priest of considerable or worthwhile repute Abraham, in effect, simply was following a customary practice that needed to be carried after successful win(s) of fighting a battle or war. Abraham didnt take up arms and go into battle again, so there was no reason for Abraham to tithe again, and so no reason to tithe to Melchizedek or to any other local ruler cum priest worthy of consideration This is why there is not, another mention, ever in the bible, of Abraham repeating another act of giving tithe again enilove: Tithing was not deliberated on in the new testament because there was no objections to tithing among the disciples . If there was no need for tithing , the apostles would have written concerning that in form of instructions or in one way or the order. That is why churches for the past 2000 years had been collecting tithes and it is not now, after 2000 years, that someone would start questioning it. Most arent aware that the required and specified 10% of monthly salary of people is an ecclesiastical tax and surcharge and that it was birthed after much deliberations at the Council of Tours and Council of Macon It since then has grown to be what we see it to be today, a multi billion dollar industry |

blueAgent: Hypocrite you only refer to the scripture when you want to hide your lies but will not accept any bible verse that contradicts your false Church doctrine.
Let me ask you if Jesus was God the father and son at the same time then who did Jesus tell his disciples sent him to Earth? who did Jesus say his will be done shortly before he was to die, he prayed that this cup should pass over him.just before Jesus was arrested.
In the garden Jesus prayed to his Father three times, saying, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will” —the KJV says, “Let this cup pass from me” (Matthew 26:39).
A little later, Jesus prays, “My Father, if it is not possible for this cup to be taken away unless I drink it, may your will be done” (Matthew 26:42).
Thirdly if Jesus is the same person acting as God the father than who was sitting next to God in Heaven?
Ephesians 1:20 that he worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places, UbiPetrus: What is this clown blabbing about? Who says Jesus is the father? Is that what your understanding of the Trinity is? And you even had to call me a hypocrite?

Christianity Etc › Re: Is Water Baptism Necessary For Salvation? by MuttleyLaff: 10:41pm On Sep 25, 2018 |
solite3: To be born of water means the sanctification that takes place through regeneration
Titus 3:5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
Ephesians 5:26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
this water means the sanctifying effect of the word of God.
also see,
Ezekiel 16:9 Then washed I thee with water; yea, I throughly washed away thy blood from thee, and I anointed thee with oil.
John 13:10 Jesus saith to him, He that is washed needeth not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean, but not all.
1 Corinthians 6:11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
so you see these verses are not talking of baptism at all but the washing of regeneration jiggaz: Beautiful explanation my bro!! We think alike!! I am so happy for you bro.... Keep waxing strong in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ!! MuttleyLaff: "1There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: 2The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. 3Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. 4Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born? 5Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 6That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again" - John 3:1-7
A bible useful rule of thumb is that to remember the bible wasnt originally in chapters and verses and so be careful when reading it
I love John chapter 3 a lot and have noticed that John chapter 3 actually, appropriately should have started from John 2:23 but it sad to see, many, be under a delusion or living in a fool's paradise, cavorting with the "born again" cliché
TATIME, most, familiar with driving a car or riding a motor-cycle know how a car's flat/dead battery is brought back to life or know how a motor cycle thats being lying sitting for months/years is brought back to life
Now, here's the beginning of the point, many so-called believers, "believers" and/or christians, misunderstand John chapter 3 and as a result, unnecessarily slip into resorting to using a "born again" cliché
I am unable to understand why some and/or others dont ever wonder why Jesus never publicly gave, not even one "born again" teaching I guess it's because born from above also known as, born again, actually isn't a badge of honour, but is a matter of just fact It is unneccessary to publicly teach a known fact
TATIME, what was Nicodemus opening remark and what was Jesus' immediate reply back to Nicodemus opening remark? The arresting point that got Nicodemus captivated was the mention of regeneration in Jesus' immediate reply to his opening remark.
Jesus said to Nicodemus, it takes one having a spirit renewal or spirit re-birth, to see and recognise the kingdom of God He said, except born from above, one cant accept the truth of nor admit the existence of the kingdom of God If one isnt, then such one, will rubbish, ridicule, make fun of, poke fun at, make jokes about, scoff at, be sarcastic about the kingdom of God Such one not born from above, will take the mickey out of demonstrations & power of the kingdom of God
Notice, it's, born from above, in order to be able to acknowledge the demonstrations & power of the kingdom of God and its' born of water and born from above, in order to enter into the kingdom of God
TATIME, here is an illustration, to explain "see the kingdom of God" and "enter into the kingdom of God" When you're on a plane from France to Ghana, with a connecting flight at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, you see Holland you dont go outside or beyond Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, you see Amsterdam city and/or Holland from inside Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, Except you have the correct travelling documents etcetera, you cant go into town, cannot enter into Amsterdam city and/or Holland you will just see Holland and the city from whilst inside Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (i.e. the main international airport of the Netherlands)
Now lets rewind a bit TATIME After dark one evening, Nicodemus came to speak with Jesus. "Rabbi," he said, "we all know that God has sent you to teach us. Your miraculous signs are evidence that God is with you." - John 3:2
Going back to John 3:2, Nicodemus in John 3:2 managed to have seen somethings, admitted and confirmed the origin of what hes being seeing but Jesus switched gear on Nicodemus, changed from ''see the Kingdom'' to ''enter the Kingdom'' only when Nicodemus was wrestling with the Born Again enter mother's womb - it is a fact, it is possible, we can see things of thing without entering the thing
People jumble two separate things together here TATIME. Just because you cant enter, doesnt mean or imply you can't see
People see America, people watch America but to enter into America, to set foot on American soil in America, requires certain criteria being met
Two people looking at the same thing at the same time, both observing the same thing but only one is seeing something, only one is admitting seeing what's being observed or only one aknowledges what was played out before them both
You see things when the spirit falls or rests on you You can't see things unless you are born from above (i.e. you are born again)
Please study John 3:1-3 by slowing reading but reading it out loud Hope you notice how Nicodemus instigated Jesus switching the gear on him. Jesus in responding to Nicodemus' admitted John 3:2 observances, decides to up the ante from ''see the Kingdom'' to ''enter into the Kingdom'' after Nicodemus brought in the issue of re-entering a mother's womb
Nicodemus had no problem with Jesus' first reply This is confirmed if John 3:3, is re-read like this: You are right Nicodemus, I say to you, EXCEPT a man be born again, he CANNOT "see" the kingdom of God
Jesus knew what Nicodemus was having a problem with and also knew why Nicodemus asked that question in John 3:4
TATIME, you see, Nicodemus was confused about the entering aspect, He was thinking, is it going to be his present body or would he have to return into his mother's womb for a re-birth?
TATIME, re-read Jesus' John 3:5 reply to Nicodemus bewilderment, like this: "You are right Nicodemus, I say to you, EXCEPT a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he CANNOT "enter" into the kingdom of God"
Nicodemus was like, OK, I've seen the demonstration and power of the Kingdom, but my question now is, how do I enter the Kingdom. What are the qualifications? Remember Nicodemus was a Pharisee, and the Pharisees idea of what the Messiah and His Kingdom is or would be is different
Born Again isnt the false doctrine it's being built up to be, but is a fact, reality and truth that, except one is biologically born of human being (i.e. born of water) and spiritually born of God (i.e. born again, as in born from above, born of the Spirit) you cannot enter the kingdom
To see the kingdom you need to be born again, as in born from above, born of the Spirit but to enter the kingdom, unless you are born of water and born again, as in born from above, born of the Spirit, it is not going to happen
If not for Nicodemus, Jesus didnt even have to mention this one event, dead in the night, mention of born of water and born again. Jesus was even baffled at Nicodemus He told him off for being a teacher of Israel and not knowing such a basic and obvious thing like this
All's well that ends well, Nicodemus, who came in the middle of the night, left, being able to draw in the lines and eventually accept that Jesus is God, from the slight rebuke and dots to join together, Jesus gave him.
Bottom line and to make a short work of this, is that, no one is entering the Kingdom without a glorified body (i.e. EXCEPT a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he CANNOT "enter" into the kingdom of God) jiggaz, about what you wrote re: solite3, I agree without demur Great minds think alike, it's often said I am so happy too for solite3, our brother.... Pray he keeps waxing stronger in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ, our God!! |

solite3: who invented the title mother of God?
at bold no one had a dispute calling Mary mother of God because such title was not known in the churches. Has nothing to do with inventing the title mother of God The moment Jesus was born, Mary as the mother of God incarnate was born too Mary, as the mother of God incarnate, never existed prior to the birth of Jesus Mary existed but Mary, as mother of God incarnate, never did. Mary, as the mother of God incarnate, was something undoubtedly new for Mary solite3: no one dispute the fact that Mary is the mother of Christ but NOT the mother of God I am grateful to you for conceding on the red emboldened. Light in the tunnel, there is a beacon of hope solite3, since you are agreeing that Mary is the mother of Jesus (i.e. is the mother of Christ) will if, showing you, with scripture, that, same Jesus, is God, then, making Mary be the mother of God, appeal to you? solite3: Mary mother of God is not scriptural, it is an imported pagan practice. Please dont even dare change direction into imported pagan practice(s), so address the following: 1/ Would or does Mary getting called the mother of Christ seat well with you? 2/ How is Mary mother of God not scriptural? 3/ Why do you say Mary mother of God is not scriptural? 4/ Rapture and Trinity that you believe in, is that scriptural because the words, Rapture and Trinity, are written in the bible? 5/ If you say Rapture and Trinity is scriptual, even though, the words Rapture and Trinity are not written in the bible, then why isnt Mary mother of God not scriptural, if it too, like the words Rapture and Trinity is not written in the bible? solite3: Christ himself ask a question to challenge people who equate his earthly sonship to his heavenly sonship. Provide all or the bible references of Jesus doing this please and lets together, review them. solite3: no special attention or veneration was placed on Mary. " For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed." - Luke 1:48 solite3, are you sure about this your comment? Are you sure that " no special attention or veneration was placed on Mary"? Exaltation of Mary to " special attention or veneration" status was not invented by the church Exaltation of Mary to " special attention or veneration" status, is 110% scriptural In fact, the exaltation of Mary to " special attention or veneration" status isnt a church invention. The " special attention or veneration" status originated from angel Gabriel's Day 1 visitation. Not just that, Mary, even, with her song, in Luke 1:48 above, predicted the "special attention or veneration" status And it came to pass, as he spoke these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said to him, Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breasts which you have sucked. (i.e. woman, in effect, is saying to Jesus, blessed is your mother)- Luke 11:27 Jesus would have witnessed this " special attention or veneration" status too, so many times, all over and that's why, for posterity sake, one of Jesus' firsthand experiences of the exaltation of Mary to "special attention or veneration" status is historically recorded, as read in Luke 11:27 above solite3: Mary never referred to herself as mother of God neither did others. " His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it." - John 2:5 Mothers know their child best John 2:5, is a classic display of a mother love, that enables a human being It's only a mother, like one in John 2:5 above, that knows and sees the best in her son. It can only be a mother that gives green light like that and implying its OK for her son, to do the an unimaginable and impossible. |

solite3: you can also say that David is the father of God Matthew 1:1 The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
Matthew 22:42 Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, The son of David.
Matthew 22:43 He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying,
Matthew 22:45 If David then call him Lord, how is he his son?
Mark 12:35 And Jesus answered and said, while he taught in the temple, How say the scribes that Christ is the son of David?
Mark 12:36 For David himself said by the Holy Ghost, The LORD said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool.
Mark 12:37 David therefore himself calleth him Lord; and whence is he then his son? And the common people heard him gladly.
Luke 20:41 And he said unto them, How say they that Christ is David's son?
Luke 20:42 And David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
Luke 20:44 David therefore calleth him Lord, how is he then his son?
Romans 1:3 Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh; I love the bible so much, it always confound the wisdom stupidity of learned men. 1 Corinthians 1:20 Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?
1 Corinthians 1:25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
1 Corinthians 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. the bible reveals that there is something called father in the flesh, meaning that the fatherhood of David to Jesus has to do with his flesh not his divinity, hence Jesus asked the people how did the Christ became the son of david? since David call the Christ Lord, here Jesus was separating his eternal Sonship which from his earthly sonship something you folks term as impossible.
how did Jesus became son of David? through Mary how did Jesus become son of God? he didn't become the son, he was so from everlasting.
Jesus heavenly Sonship is different from his earthly sonship hence the phrase 'son of man' and 'Son of God hence Mary is the mother of Jesus according to the flesh. With the exception of God, no other spirit(s), whether good or evil ones (e.g. demons, satan angels, other celestial being) can, has or had become flesh (i.e. incarnation) This is a first and last one of a kind, thing 35While Jesus was teaching in the temple courts, He asked, “How can the scribes say that the Christ is the son of David? 36Speaking by the Holy Spirit, David himself declared: ‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand until I put Your enemies under Your feet.”’ 37David himself calls Him Lord. So how can He be David’s son?” And the large crowd listened to Him with delight. - Mark 12:35-37 Jesus, is said to be the Seed of David, because courtesy of Mary's bloodline, He has a line of descent traced to David.About Jesus being addressed as Seed or Son on of David, or Jesus calling Himself, Son of Man, these are just titles. The former (i.e. Son of David), is describing Him, as descended from a David seed, which is via Mary and the latter (i.e. Son of Man), is Him, solemnly declaring verbally His incarnation, as being a male version of the human-being product. Returning to the original discussion, technically, and in a biological manner, Mary, is the mother of God Technically and/or biologically wise, David, on the other hand, isnt the father of God Mary gave birth to God and a human being, David has not and never did David cant be referred to as the Father of God because of the cogent reason illustratively made clear by Jesus in Mark 12:35-37 above |

Does your Church support His ministry, What I see on youtube-doesn't really fit the missing pieces about why he needs so much money to feel his dream! Like I realise we all have a calling-and it would be nice to have supporters to help us do our thing-but this sort of money crabbing usually only happens within the Word of Faith movement of prosperity! The church support the ethos of James 1:27 brocab: But you love the argument -everybody you call your friends on here are not your friends-no one listens to you -nor do they listen to me-we are hear to write about Christ -nothing more, we haven't a leg to stand on without Christ, but as a somebody -I don't recall you backing up your words with bible knowledge, If you had, then it maybe a hidden agenda, the only thing I have read from you is a dirty mouth, that I do know. Do yourself a favour-change for God" pray for you and I-repent and ask for your forgiveness, and lets move on.. If you look hard enough you'll see and read me backing up my posts with bible knowledge We are not fishers of men, for nothing I am prepared for anything to catch the fish first, before without having it in hand, going to descale and skin it You're still combative and in a clever and indirect way antagonistic I see you havent run out of knives How many more daggers have you got left in your satchel to throw at me I anticipate when you get to the last, to then stab with it, digging and turning it in, for maximum damage |

brocab: You speak about Petro1 like he is everything to you -you are either the same person -and he is someone you fantasise over more then you do over anybody else. Are you pretending to be hard of hearing? How many times do you want me to repeat that I fantasise over Petra1, no more, no less, than I fantasise over you. It is my prerogative. I don't need anyone's permission not to. brocab: This page is full of unforgiving people, most of them claim to be Christians -I asked you to forgive me, and still you would rather rave on and on and on-about the words I said: hypocrite first take the pluck out of your own eye, before you pull the dirt out of your brothers eye. You call that asking for forgiveness Asking for an insincere forgiveness one minute and kept on ranting on the next minute. SMH You dont ask to bury the hatchet but then leave it's glinting sharpened blade sticking out of the ground brocab: Secondly Christians should be supporting Christians -not picking sides, with each other -now I have asked you to prove your facts "is he rich-you haven't done that-because you can't -you call it a put down against Petro1 -forgiveness is out of your league, so there's no-more I could say about that. SMH. Am I really reading this. Aaaargh. You can believe whether or not Petra1 is rich. I have better things to do. I am not into all that palaver.

I agree with you all the way about each of of all these, if that's how you understand it Have a good day, brother. brocab: This isn't about Petro1 this is about you -what you stand for, your focus is not about just anybody -but somebody that means so dearly to you, but hypocritically speaking-you are no different then I-nor the next person- we all speak up against different religions, some more then others speak up against fellow Christians who are on the same page. Petro1 is not on the same page-he tithes, and I don't tithe, our bible skills are different -our beliefs are different, we are both on different levels in Christ-we will both debate scripture -none of us can worship Mammon and God at the same time!

TATIME: Please, did Nicodemus ever got born of water and spirit (Born Again)? Because according to the gospels, Nicodemus remains part of the Sanhendrin (Jewish rulers). John 7:45-52
So all through Jesus' life and ministry, so he remains a disciple (in the secret). John 19:38,39
So he never declared himself publicly as a disciple of Christ( Matthew 10:39)
And it's the baptism by water that FIRST declares you PUBLICLY as an individual who is ready to join Christ's followers, then it was at Pentecost 33c.e that those Christians were baptized with the spirit! Unlike Peter who followed Jesus everywhere He goes and Jesus prayed fervently for him not to loose out in the race (Luke 22:31,32)
Nicodemus loved and kept his position amongst the Sanhendrin. So how or when did he became BORN AGAIN.  TATIME, please do the following, let's do this together 1/ Type in here what Nicodemus opening remark was to Jesus 2/ Next from that remark, what was Nicodemus saying and asking Jesus? 3/ Why was Nicodemus saying this and asking Jesus? TATIME: 1/ Type in here what Nicodemus opening remark was to Jesus (1) John 3:2 Acknowledging Jesus as a PROPHET from God just as another young ruler did. Luke 18:18-23.
2/ Next from that remark, what was Nicodemus saying and asking Jesus? (2) (Though indirectly) he came to ask Jesus the same question.
3/ Why was Nicodemus saying this and asking Jesus? (3) (Though not mentioned) he has come to know what it will take to rule with Jesus, since that's the position he held in the religious setting and knew that the scriptures said some Jews will rule with the Messiah. 1/ Type in here what Nicodemus opening remark was to Jesus1)" The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him." - John 3:2 2/ Next from that remark, what was Nicodemus saying and asking Jesus?2/ He said: " We all know that God has sent you to teach us. Your miraculous signs are evidence that God is with you." 3/ Why was Nicodemus saying this and asking Jesus?3/ He needed to establish the truth and/or correctness of who Jesus is He was unlike Anna and Simeon who saw through and recognised Jesus without miracles and/or sign and wonder as evidences TATIME: But why didn't you answer my question? I was hoping you will realise the answer from my earlier detailed post and/or that when you're giving your responses to those three questions I asked, you would have seen the answers How Nicodemus became BORN AGAIN, happened after already being physically born on earth (i.e. via water) and how it took place, was from getting spiritually birthed from above (i.e. via Spirit) When Nicodemus became BORN AGAIN, as earlier said, was when he was born from above (i.e. born again via Spirit) and this born from above (i.e. born again) happened after being giving birth to by his mother (i.e. her water broke) " 3Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God 5Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 6That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. " - John 3:3, 5-6 Going back to John 3:3 above again, Notice that Nicodemus, in John 3:3, managed to have seen some things, admitted and confirmed the origin of what hes being seeing, now, TATIME, from that and by the import of John 3:3, it proves that Nicodemus is born again TATIME, notice in John 3:3, that is Jesus saying, it's, from being born from above (i.e. born again), that one is able to acknowledge the demonstrations & power of the kingdom of God (i.e. to see) So, in effect, if one isnt born from above (i.e. not born again), then such one, will not see or cannot see the kingdom of God (i.e. cannot admit, confirm and/or acknowledge the demonstrations & power of the kingdom of God) Non born again persons, will rubbish, ridicule, make fun of, poke fun at, make jokes about, scoff at, be sarcastic about the kingdom of God Such one, those not born from above, will take the mickey out of demonstrations & power of the kingdom of God Now, going forward, in John 3:5, Jesus added that one cannot enter into the kingdom of God, except is born of water and born from above and in John 3:6, clarified what he meant by " born of water", by saying that which is born of the flesh is flesh John 3:5-6 infers natural birth and not water baptism, that you are promoting It has nothing to do with " the baptism by water that FIRST declares you PUBLICLY as an individual who is ready to join Christ's followers" |

brocab: You speak about Petro1 like he is everything to you -you are Petro1 or you are someone who fantasise over him -to close gives you away. It is Petra1, and not Petro1 Petra1 is everything to me, as much as, you are everything to me I fantasise over Petra1, no more, no less, than I fantasise over you. It is my prerogative. I don't need anyone's permission not to. For the umpteenth time, I am not Petra1. If I know so much about Elvis Presley, would that be " too close" as to give me away, as being Elvis Presley? C'mon now, get real. brocab: Is money all about God to you, another tither hits the dust, the cloths you wear in the photo isn't worth bragging about, this maybe all the riches you have -truly it's nothing, it proves nothing. You're caught in a web of your fake news bud and you know it so you're left to hanging for dear life, on to this pitiful thread strand, to get you saved from your blushes and stop you from spinning out of control. brocab: Riches in God isn't about how we look -it's about who we serve, You've now used wisdom and good sense to become fully aware of this as a fact. brocab: it's obvious you prefer riches. Yes, you're right. I do prefer riches. I prefer the 3 John 1:2 kind. brocab: {brocab: 2:47am On Sep 15 "I don't see a rich man-you call him rich because you know him-maybe you are him
-Just by looking at the photo he doesn't look like a man who carries a pocket full of money.} Take it from me and have it for free, that, it is not possible to judge a person's character from/by looking at their photo brocab: Don't be offended -we all come up against something we don't all agree with -you tithe, I don't tithe -we believe in two different doctrines -If you were rich, in heart-the inside of the cup will shine on the outside -but it doesn't with you, your page against me tells your story. I am not offended and I dont give tithe as a mandatory or obligatory giving. I don't give regular specified percentage (i.e. 10%) of my financial income. I am not into false teachings and practices of ecclesiastical monitised tithing or imposed tithing I am under no guise that coerced, imposed and/or obligatory ecclesiastical monitised tithe giving, is a principle Most arent aware that the 10% of monthly salary of people is an ecclesiastical tax and surcharge and that it was birthed after much deliberations at the Council of Tours and Council of Macon It since then has grown to be what we see it to be today, a multi billion dollar industry The irony of the matter that hasnt hit you yet, is that you are an insufferable bully, who has been acting and talking in an unbearable ignorant and proud way and you needed to be reminded, that you're no better than others, particularly Petra1 in this case, who you're trying to put down. brocab: You expect people to listen that tithing makes people rich... Yes, I expect people to listen that, under the perfect law of liberty, tithing, makes people richNow the questions, I predict you'll be quivering and twitching for answers to, are: 1/ What is a or is the perfect law of liberty? 2/ What perfect law of liberty is that? 3/ and what type of tithing is being talked here? brocab: you want me to believe your clothing belongs to a rich man, because you tithe I DO NOT want you to believe that Petra1's clothing belongs to a rich man, because Petra1 tithes. I dare you to answer these: 1/ Who first, brought up, the issue of looks and clothing? 2/ Who used vicious insinuations first, on Petra1's looks and/or brought up issues on clothing he wore first? 3/ Who brought up, that by looking at Petra1's photo, he isn't one that carries a pocket full of money? 4/ Who said:" ... by his structure 'looking at him he smiles like a poor man" If you check out bullies now, you will notice that they target people who are SMALLER than they are (i.e. bully others with a smaller structure). Now do you notice this pattern in your post about Petra1? You've been busted buddy
Leave the person out of it, preach the messageMake your points, without disparaging someone, centering on their look, clothing or whether pocket is full of money or notLeave out what Petra1 looks like in a photo, leave out what he wears, leave out whether his pocket is full of money or not, just preach the message, preach the message only, the undiluted message alone. brocab: I don't tithe 'and yet God blesses me, just as much as the next person, I wear leather jackets-jeans and boots, I have plenty of cloths -I have a pickup truck, I ride a harley, my wife drives her car, my son drives his car, I dont tithe either (i.e. I don't do regular 10% of salary giving) and God blesses me too, just as much as the next Adam or Eve, if not more, however "Vanity of vanities," says the Preacher, "Vanity of vanities! All is vanity." brocab: having worldly riches doesn't prove I am rich, what really makes me rich, is God. " Looking at petra1 photo he doesn't look like a rich man, if tithing is his main goals, then he needs to prove this by his structure 'looking at him he smiles like a poor man -his cheap clothing tells the story!" - brocab © 2:47am On Sep 15 You know about this, yet you slandered a brother, that he doesn't look like a rich man that by his structure, looking at him he smiles like a poor man and you also said, his cheap clothing tells the story.

TATIME: Hmmmmmmmmmm thanks for the observation! Dont mention it. You're welcome. TATIME: "Please i want you to know that this is not the proper channel for our preaching and teaching program " And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature." - Mark 16:15 Are there proper channel for our preaching and teaching program identified clearly and definitely? TATIME: but we just need to clarify certain things in order to prove those who are misrepresenting us as Christians in the society as false!"
(1) Well humans as intelligent creatures needs guidance but not from their fellow creatures, because of the inevitability of prejudice. Ecclesiastes 4:1,8:9
Even man despite being an intelligent creatures still finds it difficult to make wise decisions so since he can't wisely direct himself, he's not qualified to give others directions. Jeremiah 10:23 " If you do what the LORD wants, he will make certain each step you take is sure." (i.e. The LORD grants success to the one whose behavior he finds commendable.) - Psalm 37:23 Man was never intended to have dominion over another man The earth was intended to be a protectorate, and Adam being the Governor-General based in Eden TATIME: (2) God has arranged that a training program need to be put in place to redeem man back to perfect order, a King who has lived, studied and understood the feelings of humans should lead the training program. Isaiah 9:6
The King must have co~rulers who will take the training to far distance but first they must be trained, tested and trusted. They must first display all the qualities required for excellence in performance. So Jesus started the preaching and teaching from Judea, His co~rulers must be selected from amongst those who welcomed the training, Jerusalem supposed to be the seat of their government but Jerusalem has been polluted with the blood of holy prophets and finally the Messiah(Himself) was falsely accused, arrested, judge and sentenced to death in Jerusalem!
That's why He foreseeing the event told His friends who were to rule with Him that He will go and prepare another place for the government house, but this time in the place from where He has come(heaven). Humans can't go there because it's an abode for Spirits ONLY. Psalms 115:16
So these co~rulers needed to be transformed into another body (spirit body) before they can go there, that's the reason for the BORN AGAIN!
Nicodemus was one of the rulers amongst the Jews that time and their thoughts is that when that promised King arrives He will select them first, so Jesus told him that he must be Born Again (first undergo the training, become a frontiers in preaching and teaching, then God can consider him to be part of the chosen ones) since it's not even Jesus Himself who chooses the co~rulers but the Almighty God. Matthew 20:20-23 " 1There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: 2The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. 3Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. 4Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born? 5Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 6That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again" - John 3:1-7 A bible useful rule of thumb is that to remember the bible wasnt originally in chapters and verses and so be careful when reading it I love John chapter 3 a lot and have noticed that John chapter 3 actually, appropriately should have started from John 2:23 but it sad to see, many, be under a delusion or living in a fool's paradise, cavorting with the " born again" cliché TATIME, most, familiar with driving a car or riding a motor-cycle know how a car's flat/dead battery is brought back to life or know how a motor cycle thats being lying sitting for months/years is brought back to life Now, here's the beginning of the point, many so-called believers, " believers" and/or christians, misunderstand John chapter 3 and as a result, unnecessarily slip into resorting to using a " born again" cliché I am unable to understand why some and/or others dont ever wonder why Jesus never publicly gave, not even one " born again" teaching I guess it's because born from above also known as, born again, actually isn't a badge of honour, but is a matter of just fact It is unneccessary to publicly teach a known fact TATIME, what was Nicodemus opening remark and what was Jesus' immediate reply back to Nicodemus opening remark? The arresting point that got Nicodemus captivated was the mention of regeneration in Jesus' immediate reply to his opening remark. Jesus said to Nicodemus, it takes one having a spirit renewal or spirit re-birth, to see and recognise the kingdom of God He said, except born from above, one cant accept the truth of nor admit the existence of the kingdom of God If one isnt, then such one, will rubbish, ridicule, make fun of, poke fun at, make jokes about, scoff at, be sarcastic about the kingdom of God Such one not born from above, will take the mickey out of demonstrations & power of the kingdom of God Notice, it's, born from above, in order to be able to acknowledge the demonstrations & power of the kingdom of God and its' born of water and born from above, in order to enter into the kingdom of God TATIME, here is an illustration, to explain " see the kingdom of God" and " enter into the kingdom of God" When you're on a plane from France to Ghana, with a connecting flight at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, you see Holland you dont go outside or beyond Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, you see Amsterdam city and/or Holland from inside Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, Except you have the correct travelling documents etcetera, you cant go into town, cannot enter into Amsterdam city and/or Holland you will just see Holland and the city from whilst inside Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (i.e. the main international airport of the Netherlands) Now lets rewind a bit TATIME After dark one evening, Nicodemus came to speak with Jesus. " Rabbi," he said, " we all know that God has sent you to teach us. Your miraculous signs are evidence that God is with you." - John 3:2 Going back to John 3:2, Nicodemus in John 3:2 managed to have seen somethings, admitted and confirmed the origin of what hes being seeing but Jesus switched gear on Nicodemus, changed from '' see the Kingdom'' to '' enter the Kingdom'' only when Nicodemus was wrestling with the Born Again enter mother's womb - it is a fact, it is possible, we can see things of thing without entering the thing People jumble two separate things together here TATIME. Just because you cant enter, doesnt mean or imply you can't see People see America, people watch America but to enter into America, to set foot on American soil in America, requires certain criteria being metTwo people looking at the same thing at the same time, both observing the same thing but only one is seeing something, only one is admitting seeing what's being observed or only one aknowledges what was played out before them both You see things when the spirit falls or rests on you You can't see things unless you are born from above (i.e. you are born again) Please study John 3:1-3 by slowing reading but reading it out loud Hope you notice how Nicodemus instigated Jesus switching the gear on him. Jesus in responding to Nicodemus' admitted John 3:2 observances, decides to up the ante from '' see the Kingdom'' to '' enter into the Kingdom'' after Nicodemus brought in the issue of re-entering a mother's womb Nicodemus had no problem with Jesus' first reply This is confirmed if John 3:3, is re-read like this: You are right Nicodemus, I say to you, EXCEPT a man be born again, he CANNOT "see" the kingdom of God Jesus knew what Nicodemus was having a problem with and also knew why Nicodemus asked that question in John 3:4 TATIME, you see, Nicodemus was confused about the entering aspect, He was thinking, is it going to be his present body or would he have to return into his mother's womb for a re-birth? TATIME, re-read Jesus' John 3:5 reply to Nicodemus bewilderment, like this: "You are right Nicodemus, I say to you, EXCEPT a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he CANNOT "enter" into the kingdom of God" Nicodemus was like, OK, I've seen the demonstration and power of the Kingdom, but my question now is, how do I enter the Kingdom. What are the qualifications? Remember Nicodemus was a Pharisee, and the Pharisees idea of what the Messiah and His Kingdom is or would be is different Born Again isnt the false doctrine it's being built up to be, but is a fact, reality and truth that, except one is biologically born of human being (i.e. born of water) and spiritually born of God (i.e. born again, as in born from above, born of the Spirit) you cannot enter the kingdom To see the kingdom you need to be born again, as in born from above, born of the Spirit but to enter the kingdom, unless you are born of water and born again, as in born from above, born of the Spirit, it is not going to happen If not for Nicodemus, Jesus didnt even have to mention this one event, dead in the night, mention of born of water and born again. Jesus was even baffled at Nicodemus He told him off for being a teacher of Israel and not knowing such a basic and obvious thing like this All's well that ends well, Nicodemus, who came in the middle of the night, left, being able to draw in the lines and eventually accept that Jesus is God, from the slight rebuke and dots to join together, Jesus gave him. Bottom line and to make a short work of this, is that, no one is entering the Kingdom without a glorified body (i.e. EXCEPT a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he CANNOT "enter" into the kingdom of God) |

Thank you. 1/ If you come to know that Petra1 does both those two, will it make you take back the rubbishing remark you made about him? 2/ Will it make you accept that my cautionary advices, not to judge by looks, as appearances don't always convey accurate information is true?brocab: Anything out of that square, worldly riches is nothing-but a destroyer that kills the body and everything that dies with it.. But because you believe Petro1 is rich by his cloths and his smile in the photo -then you must believe his tithing to his pastor makes him rich! How does it make him rich?

False equivalence brocab: Because I said: Petro1 doesn't look rich-it is eating you up, do you really care about my opinion-don't people have rights to have their own opinions, just look at what you write -you deafeningly are not speaking love -and I am sure you would come at me with a sword-in the name of your dirty fell mouthed beliefs. "... by his structure 'looking at him he smiles like a poor man -his cheap clothing tells the story!" - brocab infamous quote © Do a complete re-reading of your original comment, Mr " speaking love" Loverman to see, if you didnt from a series of poor judgment and bad taste make some insensitive remarks and arrogant blunders. brocab: You have got to be kidding man-coming at me like you know "God-with a mouth like yours! Do yourself a favour man, get with God, spend time with Him, pray for you and I-ask Him for your forgiveness! Do that and lets leave the past behind, and start again..

Temolad: The Devil cannot read your mind. He only takes clues of what you're thinking by silently & attentively listening to the words you speak. The devil reacts to what comes out of your mouth. Therefore don't empower the devil by uttering words of doubts, fear & defeat. Fears uttered expose your weaknesses & attracts attack. Speak words of hope, faith & victory in Jesus' name & the devil will be confused, demoralized & intimidated. “Resist the devil & he will flee from you.” James 4:7 Neither can the devil understand or know what anyone says, thinks or prays in their mind The devil can't hear your thoughts in your head or what you say in your mind It's only two, who knows The two are: God and you Does anyone see that we give the devil too much credit and fabricate a lie? The devil does not read minds and/or cannot read your mind |

TATIME: The truth of the matter is that they knew nothing as in NOTHING about Jesus of Nazareth! Because i bet it if they were His contemporaries, they'll do worst to Him than the Pharisees. God created man not with the ability to rule over themselves but Adam chose to be independent, Satan seized the opportunity since God drove them away from the garden and started ruling behind the scenes using humans kings as puppets. That's why God wasn't pleased with Israelites when they demanded for a King because Jesus was the one and only King who can rule mankind without being influenced by Satan's tactics.
Pharisees knew all of these but they just won't accept the humility and selflessness Jesus was preaching and teaching as the only criteria to rule with Him. So they decided to do away with Him believing God can't abandon them as Abraham's descendants. God's Kingdom means a government that's to be ruled by God but with someone sitting on the throne as HIS representative. Until humans are trained to perfection in other to be 100% obedient to God, that's why Jesus must rule for 1,000 years. This is the position that the Pharisees were eyeing but Jesus told them that it's for humble and selfless people. That's what brought about the BORN AGAIN issue. So whoever is eyeing positions and high ranking offices can never be or remain a Christian. I've been busy catching up on few of your recent comments and liking each, until I got to this one - " God created man not with the ability to rule over themselves" If not that they jumped the gun, eventually, they would have ruled by themselves (i.e. self rule) - " That's what brought about the BORN AGAIN issue" What BORN AGAIN issue? What is the expression BORN AGAIN all about? Why, when and how was the BORN AGAIN phrase used? (i.e. as in, what made Jesus bring up the BORN AGAIN subject) |

brocab: Don't give up-don't return back to your own vomit means, keep it up, don't give up - I can also count my times wearing t-shirts, having stickers on vehicles, and preaching the gospel on the streets, countless times been there done that, didn't stop there - I am still doing it - but using a different approach, I ride a Harley Davidson and in genial I may call people brothers and sisters/neighbours but the only connection I have is the bikes.
And returning back to your own vomit is someone that can't handle a disagreement between both parties. Your grace is a way off the charts - we don't have to agree/the point is, we have the bible to back up our theories, if it aren't written, it aren't there. You choose to be your brothers keeper-love Petro1 as your brother, but if the love you have for me-is about bad language coming out from your mouth, I prefer you don't love me at all. brocab:
 brocab, please will you give it a rest. and who, at 12:16 am after midnight, puts sunglasses shades or goggles on? Its bad enough as it is, you forming opinion about someone from mere seeing a photo they took then dissing the person, by saying that looking at photo the person doesn't look like a rich man etcetera and that " by his structure 'looking at him he smiles like a poor man-his cheap clothing tells the story!" I have already given you cautionary advices, not to judge by looks, as appearances don't always convey accurate information If you want to descend into bigoted and sanctimonious talk, then sorry, you'd be barking up the wrong tree |

brocab: Why give up-do it more? Don't return yourself back to your own vomit! Why give up more what? Return yourself back to which your own vomit? Are you alright sha? I am just asking ni oo. You know, brother's keepers/neighbour things. brocab: {Matthew 12:48-50} But he replied to the man who told him, “Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?” And stretching out his hand toward his disciples, he said, “Here are my mother and my brothers! For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.”
Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. I suppose these are your brothers... Do you fart at all? Does your fart smell when you do? Dont your fart smell bad? Oh. I get it. Your fart has a deodorized good smell. Right? So means you're exempt from all these jagbanjatis, you're off the bigoted and sanctimonious hook |

brocab: {1 Timothy 1:3-7} “As I urged you upon my departure for Macedonia, remain on at Ephesus so that you may instruct certain men not to teach strange doctrines, {Tithing is the strange doctrine} nor to pay attention to myths and endless genealogies, which give rise to mere speculation rather than furthering the administration of God which is by faith. Some doctrinal controversies are clearly important and worth defending vigorously
{I don't call anybody my brother in Christ, unless we a in one accord, I don't call anybody my brother that teaches another doctrine, tithers teach that other doctrine - can't you see-the tithing doctrine causes disputes, and arguments over words.} {Romans 16:17} Now I urge you, brothers, to watch out for those who create divisions and obstacles that are contrary to the teaching you have learned. Turn away from them.
I don't know about you, I defend those so called Christians that lie against the Word of God -liars that teach tithing money brings them health and wealth. I will defend against any brother, if they teach another doctrine that does not consent to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which accords with godliness, the brother is proud, knowing nothing, but is obsessed with disputes and arguments over words, from which come envy, strife, reviling, evil suspicions, useless wranglings of men of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth, who suppose that godliness is his means to financial gain. "From such I am to withdraw myself from this brother"..
We love people because we love Christ! Loving somebody doesn't mean you need to be somebodies keeper - if you were Petro1 keeper, what can Petro1 learn from you, visa versa, you both teach two different doctrines! "You both don't play by the same rules and regulations concerning God - unless he is your true brother same Mama same Papa? About defending opposing vigorously, we've countless times been there, done that, even have the t-shirts bought We all have different levels of grace, is all I'll say brother |

MuttleyLaff: If the baby was conceived with her egg, the baby becomes her own
Jesus never at any time, said "Mary isnt my mother", nor never said, "she isnt my mother" or say, "that woman isnt my mother"
Almost, if not all, each occasion, where Jesus called Mary and/or other females "Woman" it is because He is talking to the Eve, the first woman in them
If you had responded to Ubenedictus' post first, I bet you, Ubenedictus would have responded to yours too Instead we have, two posts left unanswered because people are pretending not have read them solite3: [s]Im tired of going round in circles. take your time and read through my entire post[/s] I can't recall where Jesus talked to eve? Never mind solite3, you dont understand and that's because the penny hasnt dropped. You're in good company. Its not only you scratching the head Budaatum too, scratched the head and that prompted him to make a complaint that has no wings about the comment budaatum: This is the sort of made up stuff you say that then tends to ruin your entire position! There is absolutely nothing in scripture in support of the assertion that Jesus was talking to Eve. You really dont think Jesus was talking to the Eve, in Mary and on the other occassions when He addressed others as "Woman", the Eve in them? budaatum: And a more plausible explanation is available to boot, the following being one: Indeed, to modern ears Jesus’ addressing Mary as “woman” sounds a bit cold. But in Aramaic, the language in which Our Lord spoke, it was actually a term of respect — a normal, polite form of address, as the New American Bible observes in a footnote to John 2:4.
And here's a link to a pointless ramble on the subject giving a different reason, though I confess the point eludes me. For and/or to you, Content is King, hence why you gravitate towards links such like those two but for and/or to me, Context is King Explanations always have to be done within the context. budaatum: When one makes up stuff in an argument, one should understand that one is equally permitting the other to do likewise. Then we night as well be arguing whether the pie in the sky is in the north or the south and whether it is a Nigerian meatpie or a Scottish steak and kidney pie, for all the advancing in understanding it effects. If you don't know me by now (If you don't know me) You will never never never know me (No you won't) If you don't know me by now (You will never never never know me) You will never never never know me (ooh) Budaatum. I dont do arguments. LOL. I am sure you know why I dont do arguments budaatum: If I have wrongly accused you of pie in the skying, I would gladly be corrected. But please, to the point, and without rambling, just so my tiny head can get around it.
Thanks, anticipatingly. 22Peter took Jesus aside and told him to stop talking like that. He said, “God would never let this happen to you, Lord!” 23Jesus turned to Peter and said, “Satan, get away from me! You're in my way because you think like everyone else and not like God.”- Matthew 16:22-23
" 32Then Jesus explained clearly what He meant. Peter took Jesus aside and told Him to stop talking like that. 33But when Jesus turned and saw the disciples, He corrected Peter. He said to him, “Satan, get away from me! You are thinking like everyone else and not like God.”" - Mark 8:32-33 Your KISS wish is my command. |

solite3: a woman nurturing and taking care of a baby doesn't make it her own. she can take care and nature the child of someone else but doesn't mean it's her own. your are just going round in circles If the baby was conceived with her egg, the baby becomes her own solite3: ask yourself why Jesus always call Mary woman instead of mother. Mary may carry Jesus in her womb and nature her but it doesn't make her mother of God. Jesus never at any time, said "Mary isnt my mother", nor never said, "she isnt my mother" or say, "that woman isnt my mother" Almost, if not all, each occasion, where Jesus called Mary and/or other females "Woman" it is because He is talking to the Eve, the first woman in them Ubenedictus: so you agree that Mary nurtured God in human flesh, do you also agree that God took flesh in Mary's womb? That Mary bore God in human flesh for 9 months? that Mary birth God in human flesh? solite3: do you also agree that David is the father of God?
