GardenOfGod:Still on Sabbath.. Exodus 31:14-15 New International Version 14 “‘Observe the Sabbath, because it is holy to you. Anyone who desecrates it is to be put to death; those who do any work on that day must be cut off from their people. 15 For six days work is to be done, but the seventh day is a day of sabbath rest, holy to the Lord. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day is to be put to death. |

GardenOfGod:That is not a question The reason why God made ceremonial laws to be hard is so that people will cry to him for help not that people will actually do the ceremonial laws Because no one can keep them all at once |

Dtruthspeaker:What you say is not what God is trying to point out God said 'I have loved Jacob, but Esau I have hated, God said this statement before they were born You are moving in circle again Now I ask you what Esau did wrong before he was born that made God to say that |

GardenOfGod:Exodus 20:8-11 New International Version 8 “Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. 9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is a sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your male or female servant, nor your animals, nor any foreigner residing in your towns. 11 For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy |

GardenOfGod:Romans 7 King James Version 7 Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth? 2 For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband. 3 So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man. 4 Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God. 5 For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death. 6 But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter. 7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet. 8 But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead. 9 For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died. 10 And the commandment, which was ordained to life, I found to be unto death. 11 For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me. 12 Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good. 13 Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful. 14 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin. 15 For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I. 16 If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good. 17 Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. 18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. 19 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. 20 Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. 21 I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. 22 For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: 23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. 24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? 25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin. **×****************'' '' ' From verse seven he was talking about how the law is tough and good Coming down he shows how it difficult to actually do it even when your inner man want to obey God At verse 24 He cries for help 24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? At 25 he show all of us the solution to the cry |

Bishopkingsley:[b]The story of Uzzah and the Ark of the Covenant comes to mind. It is found in 2 Samuel 6:1-7 and 1 Chronicles 13:9-12. As the ark was being transported, the oxen pulling the cart stumbled, and a man named Uzzah took hold of the ark. God’s anger burned against Uzzah and He struck him down and he died. Uzzah’s punishment does appear to be extreme for what we might consider to be a good deed. However, there are the reasons why God took such severe action. First, God had given Moses and Aaron specific instructions about the Tent of Meeting and the movement of the Ark of the Covenant. "After Aaron and his sons have finished covering the holy furnishings and all the holy articles, and when the camp is ready to move, the Kohathites are to come to do the carrying. But they must not touch the holy things or they will die. The Kohathites are to carry those things that are in the Tent of Meeting” (Numbers 4:15). No matter how innocently it was done, touching the ark was in direct violation of God’s law and was to result in death. This was a means of preserving the sense of God’s holiness and the fear of drawing near to Him without appropriate preparation. Notice how David took men with him to collect the ark, rather than allowing the Levites to bring it to him. That was a great mistake, since it ought never to have been put upon a cart, old or new. It was to be borne upon men’s shoulders, and carried by Levites only, and those of the family of Kohath (Exodus 25:12-14; Numbers 7:9), using the poles prescribed. Failing to follow God’s precise instructions would be seen as a. not revering God’s words when He spoke them through those such as Moses, whom He had appointed; b. having an independent attitude that might border on rebellion, i.e., seeing and acting on things from a worldly, rather than a spiritual, perspective; or c. disobedience[/b] Same strict adherence was demanded from the children of Israel on keeping of the laws of Sabbath. No excuses! |

Bishopkingsley:1. This portion is addressed to "Christians" in Rome as is indicated in verse 4, and not to "Old Testament Israel" therefore, your point is invalid! 2. Verse 2. For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband According to this verse 2, was Israel loosed from the law? Or are they still under that law? |

GardenOfGod:Ruth 4:14 (ESV) 14 Then the women said to Naomi, “Blessed be the Lord, who has not left you this day without a redeemer, and may his name be renowned in Israel! Ruth 1:6 (NLT) 6 Then Naomi heard in Moab that the Lord had blessed his people in Judah by giving them good crops again. So Naomi and her daughters-in-law got ready to leave Moab to return to her homeland. Lord is the same as God I told you there is holy spirit in the old testament and you are trying to be wiser than God who designed the Bible I told you the reason why in each dispensation God shows himself in a new dimension which is unique and awesome God is too vast to be put in a box I still told you that in the life to come God will show us another part of himself which will Marvel us the more God is infinite in all things and he made our heart infinite which he will continue to fill for eternity If you believed in Jesus you will believe in the holy spirit name in the old testament for the holy spirit is equally with God because he is God But from what I can see You don't believe in Jesus Because you have refused to declare it |

Bishopkingsley:Holy Spirit is All knowing, Jehovah is All knowing. Don't try to be more smarter than the inspired writers of the Bible. Lord is a word that could be used even to judges in the law Court. Sarah used to call Abraham "my Lord".... Does that make Abraham God? I don't like arguing blindly, show me in the Book of Ruth the WORD "GOD" not "LORD" Show me the word "Holy Spirit" in the Old Testament. No stories! |

GardenOfGod:Funny People can answer any name people can answer Jesus even God does that mean they are Jesus or God The sentence or words is what will show you If the person is who they are You want to be wise but it can't happen you are looking for a loop hole in the Bible you can't see one If my explanation doesn't satisfy you Then you are not of God Because you refuse to believe in Jesus which shows you don't believe in the holy spirit Rathet you are a sabbath believer |

Bishopkingsley:You are diverting from the point on ground. What brought that issue of God and Holy Spirit? Its because you said that it is the Holy Spirit that makes a Christian to do the works of righteousness. And you set example of Sabbath keeping taught by Jesus. And I asked you, was it the Holy Spirit that enabled the children of Israel to keep sabbath? Your answer was Yes And No. Saying that the law of Sabbath was not stable. I then requested to show me where the Holy Spirit is written in the Old Testament to confirm your assertions, but till now you have been beating around the bush. Verdict: the term "Holy Spirit" was not known by the children of Israel and was not in use as at that time. Bishopkingsley:There are no loopholes in the inspired writings of God. Loopholes are rather in your carnal interpretation. You were found wanting in an attempt to support your views, when I pointed out that lie, you quickly retracted your earlier statement. Pathetic! Bishopkingsley:How more blasphemous could this statement sound. So it your own explanation that would be used to determine if I am of God or not. You have made yourself a God's rule for judgement. Congratulations! Bishopkingsley:I believe in Jesus, I believe in the Holy Spirit and I believe in God. But since you are "God's rule of judgement" you think I don't believe. Good luck for that. Bishopkingsley:My Master is the Lord of Sabbath and he brought me a new and better covenant than the old one, which has the laws of Sabbath in it. So I am not under such law anymore and of course it wasn't meant for me to keep it in the first place. Am done with you at this point please. Thanks for engaging me so far. |

GardenOfGod:then requested to show me where the Holy Spirit is written in the Old Testament to confirm your assertions, Wrong You said show me where holy spirit is written in Old testament You did not say to confirm your assertions, Now God is the holy spirit so what point Do you need to prove that your thoughts Are you saying that God did not help Israel to be able to carry out his laws Now even if there was no prove of the Holy Spirit as you so wish Are you saying holy spirit does not have a work in the salvation of man Before you ask this kind of question Make sure you know who you worship That why I said do you believe in Jesus at all But because you don't believe in Jesus that why you question what God said in the Bible Now that you believe Jesus show me where Jesus was written in the Old testament |

GardenOfGod:Verdict: the term "Holy Spirit" was not known by the children of Israel and was not in use as at that time. Wrong The children of Israel knew the holy spirit very well The same Holy Spirit was upon Samson and he was able to carry out justice using divine strength It fell on Moses David Joshua etc Am done with you at this point please. Thanks for engaging me so far....... Funny ok |
| Re: ⚫⚫⚫⚫righteousness Of God Not According To Works by GardenOfGod(m): 12:20pm On Aug 06, 2021 |
Bishopkingsley:You need to understand my point. The term "Holy Spirit" was never mentioned to them. Genesis 17 :1 17 When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to him and said, “I am God Almighty; walk before me faithfully and be blameless." COMPARE: Exodus 6:3 I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac and to Jacob as God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH I did not make myself fully known to them. DO YOU GET THE GIST? God Jehovah was not known to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob as "JEHOVAH", but as "GOD Almighty". Same as HOLY SPIRIT was not known to all of them by the name "HOLY SPIRIT". Stop arguing again!!! |

GardenOfGod:You don't get the point the term don't matter what count is Spirit of God is the same as holy spirit That what counts God the son is the same as Jesus That is what you should know before trying to think that there was no holy spirit in the old testament |

GardenOfGod:I told that before yet you refuse to believe it I list out the different names of the Holy Spirit you refused to listen Now I answered it again because you couldn't answer it That was almost the 7th time that I asked you that question, which you fail to answer or did not even know the answer My brother the word of God is my food I feed on it I live it I know what I say I have experienced almost every thing in the Bible So when I say something I don't say it from head knowledge only, no I say it from both head knowledge and experience and vision I have seen So I know what I say It real to me like the phone in my hand |
