Kobojunkie:Sin from a Jewish POV, is anything thing falling short of God's standard. Keep Abel in mind, murder, to start with, wasn't declared, so what pseudo point are you trying to argue here |
Re: How To Be A Successful Man And Then Be Killed By A 21 Year Old Girl by Kobojunkie: 4:30pm On Jun 26, 2021 |
BassReeves:Sin is as defined in God's Law , which for those of the Old Covenant people, those of the bloodline of Jacob, is documented in the 613 statutes given to them through Moses by God. We don't know that murder was not declared sin back during the time of Abel... we are not informed of the details of any Covenants God may have made with the people after they left Eden. |
Re: How To Be A Successful Man And Then Be Killed By A 21 Year Old Girl by BassReeves: 4:45pm On Jun 26, 2021 |
Kobojunkie:To start with, all that was required was just one law, the law of obedience, which was 'you must not eat from the tree..' in Eden, not 613 statutes given to, not to the entire world, but given specifically to the Israelites through Moses by God. Love, is the fulfilment of the law. If Adam and Eve loved God, then would have obeyed His love. If Adam and Eve respected God, then would have obeyed His love. Do you, after revisting, see that love is the greatest of all. Love is the cornerstone upon which all righteousness and progression rest. Love births righteousness. Everything will pass away, but not love, not faith, hope and love. Kobojunkie:If you have love, you dont murder. You are not informed of the details of any Covenants God may have made with the people after they left Eden because it is not a need to know. |

BassReeves:The one command you refer to was given only to Adam, and not to all of mankind, and this was Law to him for living in the land of Eden where the Tree specified existed. After man left Eden howver, God is likely to have made for them a new Covenant/ given them new command or how do you suppose they came about offering their best to God as an offering? |
Re: How To Be A Successful Man And Then Be Killed By A 21 Year Old Girl by Kobojunkie: 5:03pm On Jun 26, 2021 |
LordReed:The Deuteronomy 9 vs 1 - 6 God outright declares that His love for the people has nothing to do with them being good because they were instead a stiff-necked people. In isaiah 57 , God yet again, rails against the people and their refusal to obey His Laws. |
Re: How To Be A Successful Man And Then Be Killed By A 21 Year Old Girl by BassReeves: 5:18pm On Jun 26, 2021 |
Kobojunkie:It is obvious you dont know what the word or name Adam means. If you do, you wouldnt have said 'was given only to Adam, and not to all of mankind,' Kobojunkie, son of man, put on your L sign jor abeggy, the command was given to you too also, that while you were inside Adam. Kobojunkie:Every other law will pass away, but the law of love is eternal |

BassReeves:1. Read the passage again, and this time without blinders on. This was clearly a message The man, Adam, the only man who, as it turned out, lived in the Garden of Eden. 2. Um.. be careful about the assumptions you make of what is written. Clearly, God's message to Adam, that He, Adam, not eat of the Tree of Knowledge of Good(Truth) and Evil(Lie), does not apply to us, or God would not have sent Jesus Christ, full of Life(Tree of Life) and Truth(from the Tree of Knowledge of Good minus the lies) to us. 3. Where do you get this "every other law will pass away, but the law of love is eternal" from? |
Re: How To Be A Successful Man And Then Be Killed By A 21 Year Old Girl by LordReed(m): 5:35pm On Jun 26, 2021 |
Kobojunkie: So no clear directive expressing the taking of concubines as a sin. LoL you are putting words in your god's mouth (as is usual with believers). |
Re: How To Be A Successful Man And Then Be Killed By A 21 Year Old Girl by Kobojunkie: 5:38pm On Jun 26, 2021 |
LordReed:Isn't the taking of concubines the sin of adultery as clearly defined in the Old Covenant Law of Moses - Exodus 20 vs 1 - 17 ? Where you really expecting God to go around announcing, this after making it clear in Is Law, that adultery is indeed sin? Or did you expect Him to put out a special edict for those who would take out concubines, in violation of His Law already given? |
Re: How To Be A Successful Man And Then Be Killed By A 21 Year Old Girl by LordReed(m): 6:00pm On Jun 26, 2021 |
Kobojunkie: It obviously was not or else David who was rebuked for adultery would have been rebuked as well for taking concubines. Nobody in the OT was reprimanded for taking a concubine. Read Lev. 20 there is no mention of the taking of concubines as an adulterous act. Judah slept with someone he thought was a prostitute and no rebuke, in fact the resulting child was supposedly an ancestor of David and Jesus. |
Re: How To Be A Successful Man And Then Be Killed By A 21 Year Old Girl by Kobojunkie: 6:19pm On Jun 26, 2021 |
LordReed:1. Assuming you are referring to the story of David and Bathsheba, David's sin, for which he was rebuked for, was not adultery, this ofcourse contrary to popular doctrine. No, David waited until after Uriah was confirmed dead and properly mourner by his widow, before then taking her, Bathsheba, as his own wife. 2 Samuel 12 vs 1 - 13 2. Also, do not mistake God's silence for His approval. His Laws are give us either to obey and then be blessed by Him or reject and be punished for. Not all Laws have immediate consequences attached so... |
Re: How To Be A Successful Man And Then Be Killed By A 21 Year Old Girl by LordReed(m): 6:48pm On Jun 26, 2021 |
Kobojunkie: Good so you agree your god was silent concerning concubines. Whether he liked it or not is irrelevant, he didn't condemn it. |
Re: How To Be A Successful Man And Then Be Killed By A 21 Year Old Girl by BassReeves: 6:52pm On Jun 26, 2021 |
Kobojunkie:Genesis 1:26 'Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, after Our likeness, to rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, and over all the earth itself and every creature that crawls upon it.”' You dont only have your L-plate sign round your neck, you also have blinders strapped on your eyes too Look at you proof-texting with Genesis 2:15-17. If you had taken the time to go a chapter back and 2 Timothy 2:15 studied Genesis 1:26, you would have got the understanding that wherever you see the word man is equates to mankind aka the human race, human beings, meaning man is a collective name for human beings. Adam just means a human being made from red dust. Now what you havent grasped is that you were in Adam when the commandment was given to him and so why you are affected by all and what Genesis 2:17 specifically stated. You were in Adam. You can from Adam. That law was talking to you too while you were 6000+ve years ago inside Adam Kobojunkie:Smh, you are free to deceive yourself that the law in Eden doesnt or didnt apply to you. Adam the prototype failed the Acceptance Testing and prematurely went to eat the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, which the figure of speech, just like saying Ladies and Gentlemen is nothing other than a merism Good, in that Genesis 2:17 context, is translated from a word, that means and typifies 'Beautiful' while Evil, in the same Genesis 2:17 context, is translated from a word, that means and typifies 'Adversity'. How Good and Evil were used in Genesis 2:17 have nothing to do with Truth and Lie that you are misleading others with. Go study and stop parading publicly your biblical illiteracy. Kobojunkie:When the law of love is in motion, every other law is suspended. Love is the fulfilment of the law. Love does not commit evil The whole law can be summed up in this one command: Love. All the Law and the Prophets hang on two commandments about: Love. |
Re: How To Be A Successful Man And Then Be Killed By A 21 Year Old Girl by Kobojunkie: 6:55pm On Jun 26, 2021 |
LordReed:First of all, God already declared it against Him - this in His Law - for anyone of His people to take to themselves concubines. So, His "silence" when a person goes against that which He has decreed, should not then be mistaken for approval of any kind from God. Secondly, God, on numerous occasions, condemned sin, including adultery, among His people. He did this severally through His prophets. |
Re: How To Be A Successful Man And Then Be Killed By A 21 Year Old Girl by Kobojunkie: 7:11pm On Jun 26, 2021 |
BassReeves:1. What is written in Genesis 2 vs 15 - 17, is clearly made out by God for the man who lived in the Garden of Eden. If you don't see it, I cannot help you there. 2. If you cannot see how Adam's chance ended when Adam fell and was kicked out of Eden, but our chance at Life and Truth(or evil) did not since God packaged the same for us His Kingdom and Law, then your belief is just that. 3. God is a God of Law/Covenants and He makes an everlasting Covenant with those He chooses... Heaven and Earth will pass away, but not one single word of God's Law will pass away. Even to this very day, God's Noahic Covenant, Abrahamic Covenant, Old Covenant Law of Moses remain alive and eternal. If you, however, choose to believe that God's other Laws are "suspended" by your "law of love", then i say, you are free to believe as you want. |

Kobojunkie: You failed to show me where your god said concubine taking was a sin. I referenced Lev 20 where the various forms of adultery were spelt out, it doesn't mention anything about concubines. So unless you can show me where it is clearly stated you are simply putting words in your god's mouth (as is usual for believers). 2 Likes 1 Share |
Re: How To Be A Successful Man And Then Be Killed By A 21 Year Old Girl by Kobojunkie: 7:43pm On Jun 26, 2021 |
LordReed:Leviticus 20 lists the various punishments for various sexual sins, and not the various forms of adultery, as you claim. Adultery is basically understood as the having of sexual relations with a one you are not married to. And so if you cannot see how, a married individual having girlfriends/concubines/lovers falls smack under that umbrella, I can't help you. |
Re: How To Be A Successful Man And Then Be Killed By A 21 Year Old Girl by BassReeves: 8:12pm On Jun 26, 2021 |
Kobojunkie:If you don't see it, that you inherited the complete range and scope of all what 'goodness' and 'adversity' is, then you need quite a lot of help there. Kobojunkie:You sure dont know what the protoevagelium is, even Eve knew it wasn't the end of the world for her, Adam and the human race. Adam knew too, its wasn't an end of them, which is why he called his wife, Eve, meaning the mother of all human beings. Eve upon having her first child, thought the promise was in Cain. How mistaken she was, when she said, I have gotten a man, meaning the man, expected man, not knowing that Cain who was of the evil one, wasn't where salvation would come through and from Kobojunkie:I tossed you a curveball, now you want to make meal out of it. The bottom line here, is that, love reigns supreme |

Kobojunkie: And if you can't see that your god is a hand puppet that you project all your expectations through well I can't help you. LMFAO! |

Kobojunkie: Like Bass and even little reed has been trying to show you, polygamy was clearly permitted in the OT. God's servants like Abraham, Jacob, David and Solomon engaged in it. Even laws were made for the provision. Exo 21:10 If he take him another wife; her food, her raiment, and her duty of marriage, shall he not diminish. Psa 90:8 Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the light of thy countenance. The phrase "SECRET sin" is as the name suggests, sins that are hidden from others. The case of the OP is likely a secret sin, not known by the wife, family, church etc. This was not the case of the so called concubines that the kings had. The concubines were known and they even lived in the kings' or man's house. They were kind of lesser wives, like servant wives. It's not the secret affair that the people don't know on the girl's side and on the man's side. Little reed clearly does not know much, you should know better. i did not remember using the word "abolish" though. But a study of the new testament shows that it is not permitted. You are pretty much USELESS in the NT if you have more than one wife or one husband. You cannot even be a servant/deacon. And of course, you cannot be a bishop. Basically a leper. And as Jesus taught, from the beginning it was not so. God made them male and female, not male and femaleS. |
Re: How To Be A Successful Man And Then Be Killed By A 21 Year Old Girl by Kobojunkie: 1:08am On Jun 27, 2021 |
Image123:1. I don't believe you properly processed that comment of mine at all. Asking you where this permission is declared by God is simply that , trying to ascertain where this idea that God had to, in some way, formerly authorized polygamy and polyandry comes from. I already made it clear earlier, that from the beginning, God was never against polygamy or polyandry. 2. Jesus Christ never did away with that which God declared from the beginning, so the study of the New Covenant, seems to ignore the teachings of Jesus Christ which is meant to be the Law we live by. |

While someone's father, husband, uncle, breadwinner, etc has passed away to his lust on a wayward girl, the two above are arguing childishly on biblical doctrine.... Strange isn't it? The truth is that there are many chindima ojukwu's out there. This one fortunately was caught before she could escape neatly. Too many men have lost their lives and destinies to the bosom, laps and softness of so many chindimas out there and will continue to lose. Only God can tell, how many men have lost their precious destinies to girls like her in the church! The lesson here is discipline! Show me a man who is disciplined enough to stick to his wife and shun the advances of wayward girls and I Wil show you a man who will go very far in life in fulfillment of his destiny from God! |

judedwriter: LordReed:David and Abraham weren't wayward men nah judedwriter: LordReed:Genesis 16:2 'So Sarai said to Abram, “The LORD has prevented me from having children. Go and sleep with my servant. Perhaps I can have children through her.” And Abram agreed with Sarai’s proposal.' Genesis 30:1-13 '1When Rachel saw that she wasn’t having any children for Jacob, she became jealous of her sister. She pleaded with Jacob, “Give me children, or I’ll die!” 2Then Jacob became furious with Rachel. “Am I God?” he asked. “He’s the one who has kept you from having children!” 3Then Rachel told him, “Take my maid, Bilhah, and sleep with her. She will bear children for me, and through her I can have a family, too.” 4So Rachel gave her servant, Bilhah, to Jacob as a wife, and he slept with her. 5Bilhah became pregnant and presented him with a son. 6Rachel named him Dan, for she said, “God has vindicated me! He has heard my request and given me a son.” 7Then Bilhah became pregnant again and gave Jacob a second son. 8Rachel named him Naphtali, for she said, “I have struggled hard with my sister, and I’m winning!” 9Meanwhile, Leah realized that she wasn’t getting pregnant anymore, so she took her servant, Zilpah, and gave her to Jacob as a wife. 10Soon Zilpah presented him with a son. 11Leah named him Gad, for she said, “How fortunate I am!” 12Then Zilpah gave Jacob a second son. 13And Leah named him Asher, for she said, “What joy is mine! Now the other women will celebrate with me.”' 1 Samuel 25:39-45 '39When David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, “Praise the LORD, who has avenged the insult I received from Nabal and has kept me from doing it myself. Nabal has received the punishment for his sin.” Then David sent messengers to Abigail to ask her to become his wife. 40When the messengers arrived at Carmel, they told Abigail, “David has sent us to take you back to marry him.” 41She bowed low to the ground and responded, “I, your servant, would be happy to marry David. I would even be willing to become a slave, washing the feet of his servants!” 42Quickly getting ready, she took along five of her servant girls as attendants, mounted her donkey, and went with David’s messengers. And so she became his wife. 43David also married Ahinoam from Jezreel, making both of them his wives. 44Saul, meanwhile, had given his daughter Michal, David’s wife, to a man from Gallim named Palti son of Laish.' David and Abraham weren't wayward men nah. You can have concubines, if its mutually agreed and consented by all involved parties |
