Rich4god: So you na adult in Christ... I like the way you guys are trying to point christians to the right way, but dont condem them for their belief by saying that they will end up in hell. Only God decide on that... Just support your arguement the best way you can and leave the rest for God...
you know, i wonder if the the guy think he is God

Ukutsgp: this is a lie raised to the power of thousands. dnt be deceived, those that die in their sins will perish. d wages of sin is death according to d bible.
.
Romans 6:12-18 - We must not let sin reign
in our bodies.
These were baptized into Christ (v3,4),
set free from sin, and become servants of
righteousness (v18).
They are warned not to let sin reign in
their bodies nor present their members
as instruments of sin (v12,13). The result
of that would be death (v16). This must
be spiritual again, since all die
physically. The wages of sin, even for
those here addressed, is death, in
contrast to eternal life (v23).
Hebrews 6:4-8 - We must avoid falling
away.
This is addressed to those once
enlightened, who tasted the heavenly gift
and the good word of God and were
partakers of the Holy Spirit (v4,5).
We are warned not to fall away (v6). If
they continue in this pattern of life
(implied), they cannot be restored. They
are crucifying Jesus afresh and putting
Him to an open shame (v6). Their
destiny is to be burned like a field of
thorns (v8).
[/quote]you say those that die in their sin abi? for your information no christian is a sinner, so the issue of christians dying in their sin is totally out
it is unbelivers (non christians) that are sinners, they are the people that will die in their sin if they refuse to join christianity ( believe in Jesus )
we christians have been made righteous through Christ. please don't ridicle the effort of Jesus christ who has cleansed us
Romans 3:7 For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie (through my imperfection) unto his glory; why yet am I also judged as a sinner?
i don't know whether you are understanding these scriptures you are quoting.
I told you, those scriptures is only advising us not to commit sin, the issue of salvation or eternal life is out of it ,salvation is a seperate thing entirely away from the advice
OK,just point to me were it is written clearly that if a Christian commit sin he will go to hell fire
Just show me the Scripture, because this one ehh..
lol

Ukutsgp: this is d false doctrine peddles by false prophet like u and others.
you are saying a lot of things like this without scriptural base
Christianity Etc › Re: Once Saved Always Saved Is A False Doctrine. Beware! by paxonel(m): 1:09am On Sep 20, 2014
Ukutsgp: what if they dnt avoid sin? remember that no unclean thing will enter into heaven according to d bible. so why are u preaching a different gospel to deceive people. d bible say that those that preach a different gospel are under God's curse. repent now so that u will not perish in hell fire. cos all d false prophets will have their part in d lake of fire. dnt be one of them.
the question is are we christians unclean? the answer is NO,
we have been made righteous, we have been cleansed by the blood of Jesus
2 Corinthians 5:21 For he(God) hath made him (Jesus ) to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him
so we have been declared righteous
we have been made fit for the kingdom
we didn't do it for ourselves, it is Christ who did it for us
by the let me ask you, you want to depend on keeping the law abi? mention one person you know that has kept the law sucessfully, just one
James 2:10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.
so why are you killing yourself? why don't you just take advantage of the grace that has been made available by Jesus which is the perfect will of God for you?
i tell you if keep believing in that thing you are still holding called your righteousness you are the one holding false doctrine and you are the one going to perish in hell

Ukutsgp: so those that believe are saved irrespective of their works?
exactly!
so all we need to do for ourselves is to avoid sin, work hard, make money,develop our environment (replenish this earth ) show love to the poor and enjoy our lives on earth
Christianity Etc › Re: Once Saved Always Saved Is A False Doctrine. Beware! by paxonel(m): 8:15pm On Sep 19, 2014
Ukutsgp: so u believe that someone can lost his salvation now . gud. but tell me what will befall a christian who at a point begins to commit fornication, adultery, stealing, murder, etc and fails to repent of his sin and forsake them and died in his sins? will he make heaven?
he will get the punishment here on earth. bu heaven? it is impossible for him to loose heaven unless he denounced Christianity
the point you people fail to understand is heaven is already in you. you are in heaven already. you don't work for it, it's a free gift, so long you believe in Jesus and remain in christianity. you have eternal life right inside you in your spirit

Ukutsgp: what about those who believes and draws back to perdition? i can believe today and tomorrow express unbelief like d Israelite in the wilderness.
to express unbelief simply means to denounce christianity, because it is in Christianity that we have our believe in Jesus
remember, Jesus is the founder of christianity. he founded Christianity the very day he died and ressurected, so that as many that believe in him from that day of crucifixion is saved
everybody in Christianity believe so everybody in Christianity are saved
unbelievers are Muslims, those in Judaism ( the religion of the jews ) and every other religion outside Christianity
God has rejected Judaism(who had the old abrahamic covenant ) and lifted christianity( the new covenant in Christ ) for salvation
christianity is our faith, without christianity our faith it is impossible to please God
Christianity Etc › Re: Once Saved Always Saved Is A False Doctrine. Beware! by paxonel(m): 7:35pm On Sep 19, 2014
Ukutsgp: why didn't God forgive Satan then after he rebelled against him? why did God totally cast him out?

also dnt u think that the prodigal son who left the father's house would have been lost forever if he didn't come back to his senses and returned to his father? is it God that will back d disobedient ones or they will repent and come back to God?

dnt u think a christian can turn and rebel
against God or leave God and become Satan's agent?

ur argument is full of holes. it is so because u dnt read nor understand d bible.
a christian can only rebel against God only when he denounced christianity to join other religion, by so doing he has denounced the faith, he has lost his salvation
Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: .....

Ukutsgp: but christ died for all. why wont everyone make heaven despite their sins?
Christ died for all, but not everybody believe, so not everybody make heaven.
Christianity Etc › Re: Once Saved Always Saved Is A False Doctrine. Beware! by paxonel(m): 3:53pm On Sep 19, 2014
Ukutsgp: pls do u believe dat someone who is obedient can turn and become rebellious and disobedience like satan when he rebelled against God and he was cast out?
it is only humans who are wicked that will cast their children out when they become disobedient not God. Good parents don't cast out their children, they purnish their children when they become disobedient, and bring them back again into their loving arms
This is what God also do to us (christians ) when we become disobedient
it is unbelievers that are rebellion to God because they refused to believe that Jesus is the Christ, not christians
Christianity Etc › Re: Once Saved Always Saved Is A False Doctrine. Beware! by paxonel(m): 3:34pm On Sep 19, 2014
Ukutsgp: u are only dragging us backward. so i can continue in sin after all when God look at me he will not see my sin but d blood of Jesus. is dat not what u are saying if i hear u correctly? whether we sin or not we would make heaven i.e everyone on earth will make heaven. is dis not what u are saying now? yes or no?
don't misunderstand me, read it again. i didn't ask you to continue in sin, rather i quoted scritures explaining why you shouldn't commit sin, and also we are under grace, that we should take advantage of the grace because everybody commit sin, nobody is perfect
i didn't say everybody will make heaven o, heaven is for only christians, not everybody.
not everybody are in christianity do u know that?

Ukutsgp: i have said a lot if u read my post.
you commited a lot of fallacies in all the bible quotion you quoted which black men can never see because most of them lark quality education, by the way, do you know what fallacies are?
Christianity Etc › Re: Once Saved Always Saved Is A False Doctrine. Beware! by paxonel(m):
Ukutsgp: so i'm now free to continue in sin. isn't it? satan is really using u to deceive people.
no it is not satan, when Paul was saying that the gift of salvation is free people thought it was too good to be true, so they thought he was saying people should go and comit sin and they begin to slander him
Romans 3:8 And not rather, (as we be slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say,) Let us do evil, that good may come? whose damnation is just.
please don't slander me by saying it is satan. the free gift of salvation is not asking you to go and comit sin. Now that you know you are free it is expected that you avoid sin using your conscience, if you don't, you will suffer the consequence here on earth.
Romans 2:11 For there is no respect of persons with God..
Romans 2:12 For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law;
what if you sin (because you can not know it all to avoid sin all the time ) does it mean you have loose your salvation? God forbid!
yet you will be purnished here on earth, you will just die for nothing, ignorance is not an excuse.
Romans 2:1 Therefore thou art inexcusable, o man...
(that is why education is very important on earth, and christians in Nigeria underate education a lot, look at the terrible standard of universities we have in Nigeria )
but on the other hand, when it come to salvation,(we are talking about spiritual things now, not on earth ) your sin has nothing to do with your salvation .sin is simply breaking the law (the 10 commandments ). for instance, thou shall not steal. if you steal. it is sin, thou shall not lie. if you lie, it is sin.
but when it comes to salvation we are justified by. faith without these laws
Romans 3:28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.
so, whether you sin or not (ofcourse you must sin because you are human? ) you are righteous through faith. It is God that judge, God don't see your sin anymore . when he looks down at you what he sees is Jesus Christ but in your mind you don't know (this is a spiritual thing, only spiritually minded people will understand )
if God choses not to see peoples sin by his mercies you can't force him to see their sin
your position is to be happy that God is merciful
it takes educated mind to understand these thing and because majority of nigerians are not educated they find it difficult to think and understand so we suffer a lot in Africa. no love, no mercy for the poor in Africa, no grace. because they still think God dont have grace for people so why should i be gracious to people ? they still think if you sin you will go to hell fire,
even most people who went to school, they are still irrational in this Africa, because our universities are faulty
that is why nigerians are still saying once saved is not always saved
but in developed countries white people don't think like that. majority of them are educated,they know the truth from the bible so things are better for them
i want to say all the churches in Africa (Nigeria especially ) has failed us
it is how to put fear in peoples mind they know and to collect money from them
they are afraid to preach the truth in the bible

lol, I'll rather read Romans 6:10 which says
For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.
and know that my salvation is just once and for all than to waste my time reading that rubbish up there
knowing that i am righteous, even though i am not perfect. because i am made righteous through Christ. not by my works
2 Corinthians 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
ahahaaha ahahh, I have overcomed satan by the word

[quote author=Ukutsgp]allow them to practise what is false that will take them to hell? i cant. christ embassy should stop preaching this evil doctrine.[/quote
you write too many things, summarize your point with bible quotations for instance mark 4:3 says once saved is not always saved, then explain, and we will believe you
stop writing plenty things to hide inside them, because people don't have time to be reading plenty things and you are not making any impact or sense

emmyskies: This wrong doctrine don pain me well well well well well. Kai!!! If an unbeliever goes to hell, we'd say he went there coz he didn't believe in Christ, but if a believer goes to hell, what do we then say??

"For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables." (2 Timothy 4:3-4)

The wage of sin is death, whether believer believer or no believer, the soul that sinneth shall die.

JESUS CHRIST have said it already: If your eyes or right hand, no matter how precious they are to you causes you to sin, cut them off and throw it away, avoid sin at all cost, he will say to sinners on the last day: Depart from me, I know you not!! Ye workers of iniquity.

Let them that have ear, let them hear
we know wrong doctrines by every statement they make. bros, calm down,nor vex again. just mention only one statement i make in that explanation that is wrong
just one
just give me one wrong statement there in the explanation
hope you know Nigeria is a very corrupt nation?
you will also tell me, the doctrine they have been teaching nigerians over the years if it is the right one why is Nigeria corrupt?
have you heard of the word FALLACY?
you will also tell me what fallacies mean to you
then we will know who the matter dey pain pass whether na me or you

ProphetUdeme: chai. JESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH. so shocked 2 hear this. Why are u laying up wrath and curses 2 urself with al this satanic doctrines
my friend we are here to solve problems, if you have anything to say, support it with scriptures just like the way i supported mine with scriptures
there are lot of satanism in Nigeria today in the form of poverty and corruption yet your old doctrine cold not solve them
I'm telling you something you didn't know before instead of you to examine it first, using your bible, you are quick to call it satanic
for your information it is the same doctrine you call satanic that has lifted up America,Canada,Australia, UK and other developed christian nations.over the years to become what they are today, just because they aspire for knowledge and understanding by having a critical and meticulous study of the scripture
but Nigeria is wallowing in poverty and corruption because nigerians are still reading bible like primitive people who lark education

scosco1: Like I always say I respect everyone's belief ...I enjoy reading ur opinions neither am I saying mine is the best but its good we always take a critical look at most of what is been revealed to us ..pls take ur time and ponder on this observations below please :

- We are told that God came to dwell on the earth as Jesus. However, I found that :
"But will God indeed dwell on the earth? Behold the heaven and theheaven of heavens cannot contain You; much less this temple that I haveerected."
1 Kings 8:27

- We are told that God came as a human in Jesus to change the way things were tosomething better. However, I found out that :
God is not man to be capricious, Or mortal to change His mind. Would Hespeak and not act, Promise and not fulfill?
Numbers 23:19
Moreover, the Glory of Israel does not deceive or change His mind, for He isnot human that He should change His mind."
1 Samuel 15:29

- We are told that YHVH's glory was given to Jesus and all praise is to Jesus.However, I found out that :
"I am YHVH, that is My Name; and My glory I will NOT give to another,nor My praise to the graven images."
Isaiah 42:8

- We are told that God speaks in types and shadows and we must find those hiddenthroughout Scripture. However, I found this :
"Not in secret did I speak, in a place of a land of darkness; I did notsay to the seed of Jacob, Seek Me, in vain; I am YHVH, Who speaksrighteousness, declares things that are right."
Isaiah 45:19

- We are told that the God of the "Old Testament" changed to a moreloving God through Jesus in the "New Testament". However, note this as well :
And until old age I am the same, and until you turn gray I will carry; Ihave made and I will bear and I will carry and deliver.
Isaiah 46:4

- We are told that Jesus and God are the same, equal, alike. However, I also discovered :
To whom shall you liken Me and make Me equal and compare Me that we may bealike?
Isaiah 46:4,5
And to whom do you compare God, and what likeness do you arrange for Him?
Isaiah 40:18
"Now, to whom will you compare Me that I should be equal?" saysthe Holy One.
Isaiah 40:25

- We are told that salvation comes from Jesus who, according to 19 verses in theNew Testament, is "the son of man". However, I found thisinteresting:
"Do not put your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom thereis no salvation!"
Psalm 146:3
(Here are the NT verses in which Jesus calls himself, or is mentioned as, theson of man: Mk 14:21, 2:10, 2:18, 14:62, 10:45, 13:26; Mt 26:24, 24:30, 11:19,16:27, 9:6; Lk 22:22, 7:34, 5:24, 12:8; Jn 3:13, 5:27; Rev 1:13, 14:14)

- We are told that Jesus is the savior and the redeemer. However take note :
I, I am YHVH, and besides Me thereis NO Savior.
Isaiah 43:11
And I am YHVH your God from the landof Egypt, and gods besides Me youshould not know, and there is no savior but Me.
Hosea 13:4
So said YHVH, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel, "I am YHVH yourGod, Who teaches you for your profit, Who leads you by the way you should go.
Isaiah 48:17
Thus said YHVH, your Redeemer, Who formed you in the womb: It is I, YHVH,who made everything, Who alone stretched out the heavens And unaided spread outthe earth;
Isaiah 44:24
For I am YHVH your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior;
Isaiah 43:3

- We are told that the "Law/Commandments" of the Old Testament are toodifficult for us to fulfill and many things are concealed from us, which is whywe need Jesus who fulfilled it all for us and now nothing is concealed.However, take note and realize it ( in mind that this is YHVH, Himself,speaking):
"For this commandment which I command you this day, is not concealedfrom you, nor is it far away.
It is not in heaven, that you should say, "Who will go up to heaven for us and fetch it for us, to tell [it] to us, so that we canfulfill it?"
Nor is it beyond the sea, that you should say,"Who will cross to the other side of the sea for us and fetch it for us,to tell [it] to us, so that we can fulfill it?"
Rather,[this] thing is very close to you; it is inyour mouth and in your heart, so that you can fulfill it."
Deuteronomy 30:11-14
 
I'll stop here for now and allow you go through my opinion and Scriptures on all we have discussed .
every Scripture you quote here (apart from the ones you quoted to point out that jesus says he is a son which does not exclude the fact that the son of man is God, John1:1) are all in the OT which we have in our bible as well as the NT and we have examined the two religions and concluded that Jesus is the Christ. for instance Jesus talked about the abomination of desolation in Matthew 24 as prophesied by Daniel in the OT,
Daniel 8:13 precisely, we read through daniel in the old testament to confirm what Jesus was talking about just to see if jesus was truly the messiah and we were marvelled by the level of accuracy
but you people in Judaism never bothered to go through the NT to do a research, how then will you know? you people don't know you are all restricting your knowledge to OT alone and you are lagging behind
no wonder everything you say here i see them as incomplete understanding of the sovereignty of God who rule all spheres of life,both heaven and earth. because every scripture you quoted here (apart from the ones you quoted to say Jesus is the son of God) are irrationally old testament alone

It is not in heaven, that you should say, "Who will go up to heaven for us and fetch it for us, to tell [it] to us, so that we canfulfill it?"
Nor is it beyond the sea, that you should say,"Who will cross to the other side of the sea for us and fetch it for us,to tell [it] to us, so that we can fulfill it?"
Rather,[this] thing is very close to you; it is inyour mouth and in your heart, so that you can fulfill it."
Deuteronomy 30:11-14
 
I'll stop here for now and allow you go through my opinion and Scriptures on all we have discussed .

Spuggie: seriouslyhuhhuh??
i suppose raping, murder, rituals, adultery, fornication cannot land a believer in hell. Trust me on this,I love ur version of Christianity
justice demand that anybody who perpertrate evil (whether you are a christian or not ) will go for it. He will suffer the consequence here on earth.Grace will not be there to help him
Romans 6:15 What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.
But when it comes to eternal life (not going to hellfire ) grace stand for every man who believe in Christ
Romans 3:24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
Grace and justice(works of the law ) are two different things, they didn't come to fight each other
Romans 11:6 And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.
i don't think it takes a special high level of reasoning to understand this thing

scosco1: Show me where G-d said that in the OT when He was giving them the law(Torah) ...that if you fail one it's as if you failed all ? G-d is a just and righteous G-d ! HE alone gives true justice , justice in the sense that you get the punishment that is equivalent to the wrong that you did ! "he judges according to our deeds" ...G-d will not punish one a homosexual with the same degree of punishment with one who told a lie because he was hungry ! He no longer is a True and just G-d if HE does so ! So show me where when HE was giving the law(Torah) where HE said if you fail one you fail all or the punishment for failing one is equivalent to failing all ? ...deut 30:11 " for this commandment I give you today is not too hard for you , neither is too far " ....
you see, this is a clear reason why there is socialism and capitalism today. a capitalist will want a clear justice because all is well with him, but the moment things becomes bad (because no condition is permanent ) he begins to desire grace
on the other hand, a socialist understand that all hands are not equal. consequently, things can never be better for everybody in the society unless there is grace. so he becomes merciful to the poor
God who created mankind understand that everybody can not keep the law in the OT. so he becomes merciful by bringing the NT to help us, he decides to be merciful. will you now fight him for being merciful?

scosco1: Who told you that anyone who breaks any of the commandments is liable to die ?

You say the law is physical ? G-d never said the law(Torah) is restricted to our physical well being. When G-d saves He saves the whole .
-what do you have to say of tithing ?
-Charity ?
-marriage ?
-kindness even to animals ?
-studying the law(Torah) so it doesn't depart from our lips aπϑ heart ?
-Idolatry ?
aπϑ many more . Does the Torah's view on some of these subjects I listed only apply physically or they don't have spiritual implications ?

The law(Torah) is G-d's instruction to mankind . More like an instruction manual from a manufacturer τ̲̅ȍ Ў☺y so Ў☺y enjoy the product . Our Creator gave us guidelines on living within the earth that He created out of His goodness so we can overcome our evil inclination aπϑ enjoy Life.

"G-d is not a man"...God can "appear" as a man but not become a man please. He can appear in forms...that doesn't mean He is what Ў☺y saw !

Judaism suppress christianity ? ...don't know if Ў☺y are famiiar with history ? Please re-read your history books again . Jews have suffered persecution like no other nation in history , more especially in the hands of christians , Ok ?
By the way you are so right with ur figures ...christians are more ! So , who can persecute you Christians except you allow the so as to gain sympathy since its obvious you have such population ! Jews worldwide aren't upto 30milliion even wen am been generous wit the figures . Jews have been persecuted throughout their history even till now that Israel has been reborn in 1948 as state of Israel ! The only Jewish nation in the world !

Death wil cease forever when HaMashiach(Messiah) graces the earth during the messianic era !

" He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord God will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the Lord hath spoken it." - isa 25:8

Jsus since he died 2000yrs ago mankind hasn't stopped dying ! We are still dying !

We take G-d by His word , not some spiritual stuffs the christian folks are so gullible too accept . Christians are good at spiritualizing evrything .

well,before God, death or mere punishment there is no difference .it is in this physical life that we have different punishments for a person who steal and another person who lie. before God it is not like that. it is one vedict for everybody who commit sin(no matter the sin, nothing like big or small sin ) and that vedict is death
James 2:10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.

scosco1: I read ur views , in as much as I try to avoid sensitive topics as this but cause you mention judaism its good I clear some misconceptions .
Firstly , I'll start with this saying... " the issue of folks still thinking they are born with a debt that they cannot pay has not been found in the Torah or Hebrew scriptures. I put it to you that its a fabrication from the last 2000yrs. Noone for 4000yrs ever heard about an original sin " - Jeff Gilbert .
- that one is saved excpt born in a christian home is not true please. Noone can save except G-d : " See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand." - deut 32:39
" I, even I, am the Lord; and beside me there is no saviour." - Isa 43:11
ONLY G-D SAVES !!

- who is paul to speak for Israel ? Paul rather thrilled the gentiles with philosophy and hellenized ideas. This was a man who practically twisted scripures in ur new testamnt !

- Christianity and Islam are offshoots of Judaism. They all started as one man's idea,self-spiritual journey,self realization and what have you ! G-d revealed and spoke to Israel as a Nation(3million) at Mt.Sinai. Judaism has been for close τ̲̅ȍ 4000yrs and we haven't shown any sign of leaving except G-d has changed ...‎​​ℓ☺ℓ !!

- you say the laws of moses wasn't enough ?,, Search ur scriptures properly ..although you can check this out :-
" 10 If thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which are written in this book of the law, and if thou turn unto the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul.

11 For this commandment which I command thee this day, it is not hidden from thee, neither is it far off.

12 It is not in heaven, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it?

13 Neither is it beyond the sea, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it?

14 But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it.

15 See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil;

16 In that I command thee this day to love the Lord thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply: and the Lord thy God shall bless thee in the land whither thou goest to possess it.

17 But if thine heart turn away, so that thou wilt not hear, but shalt be drawn away, and worship other gods, and serve them;

18 I denounce unto you this day, that ye shall surely perish, and that ye shall not prolong your days upon the land, whither thou passest over Jordan to go to possess it.

19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:

20 That thou mayest love the Lord thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the Lord sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them." - deut 30:10-20

(Please note 30:11-14 ) **

- You say judaism is not a religion of ‎knowledge. ....I don't wanna waste time on that ( jews produce,diffuse aπϑ apply knowledge )

- Jsus isn't Israel's Messiah please ...judaism finds it funny that he is the christian god. The term Messiah means "anointed". This refers to anyone initiated into G-d's service by been anointed with oil. Every king aπϑ prophet was a messiah !
Saul - 1sam26:4
David - 2sam23:1
Prophets - 1kings19:16
Non-Jewish kings - Isa45:1 ...am sure ur bible never called this king THE MESSIAH, however, he is the special anointed one who will usher the world into a future Utopian age, an age of perfection . We should be able to verify this One, who he is .
Don't wanna spend much time on this .

You also gave me that " a man is justified by faith without deeds(works) ....huh Honestly ur NT always contradicts itself and says something as this " faith without works is dead ..." , can't remember the verse but am sure you are famiiar with it.
ahaahhaaaha, very funny.
if i do not know anything about Judaism atleast i know that you people have been thought of these simple undeniable truths
God is a spirit..
God can do anything as a spirit
consequently,there is spiritual and physical realm,
and that we live in the physical realm,restricted with our 5 senses which can only perceive things only in the physical except we are told about God and the spiritual realm though the sciptures
and that through Adam and Eve, sin and death came to mankind.
and that anybody who break any of 10 commandments of moses is liable to die
well, i want to say when i say the law of moses is not enough i meant it is not enough for things of the spirit,God is a spirit, God don't need the law for his judgment, the law is physical
because the law is physical, in this physical realm that we live we need the law of moses as Jesus didn't come to abolish it. so we christians understand the law as well as Judaism and Islam as we christians also preach repentance of sin
that aside, Now, you people in Judaism know that Adam and eve sin in the OT as a result there is death which was a problem to mankind. please i want to ask have they informed you people in Judaism that there is solution to the problem of death for mankind?
incase they they have not inform you that one then it is obvious prove that Judaism has not yet seen the solution to the problem of mankind because we in Christianity have the solution, knowing that God can do anything
so i will encourage you to join christianity if you want to know how the problem of death was solved
you also know that God can do anything in Judaism. How come you don't know that God can transform himself into a man he created in his image and likeness and live on earth like a man in the person of Jesus Christ such that few people knew he was God through his miracles?
he did that for a reason. if you want to know the reason please join christianity
if angels had the power to transform themselves as men and come to earth to thine with Abraham don't you think God can do better?
there is something about Christianity that may interest you. You know, just like you said,Christianity is an offshoot of Judaism, true.
over time Judaism have tried to suppress christianity starting by killing Jesus Christ and all the persecution of early christians but inspite of all that christianity didn't go into extinction. why because, Jesus descibe christianity in one of his parables as a little seed that is planted and that seed grow to become a very big tree so that fowls of the air come to lodge on it
Luke 13:19 It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and cast into his garden; and it grew, and waxed a great tree; and the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it.
this prophesy has been fulfilled today, Google it, which religion is the biggest religion in the world today? you will find out that it is christianity (i know there are also bad people in christianity as well as every religion and some christians are also leaving christianity for other religion )
inspite the suppression and persecution or how you think one man idea,self spiritual jorney or self realization you think christianity is, thosands of people worldwide are leaving their local faith and running into christianity on dairly bases
that means there is something they have seen in christianity that other religion on earth could not offer
like i said, you will never know what we have seen until you join, it's just a simply principle of life
if you don't know about a thing you can't say anything categorically about it
