You have just highlighted some of the Ten Commandments of YHVH Almighty, the Creator described in the Scriptures - Genesis to Revelation and the others not included.

Now, in the accounts of those other people, enuma elish and co, are there commandments as well?

What about the Omenala Igbo? You didn't mention any.

elated177:


"Chukwu" means big God. It is not a name but a title. What is the name of your god?

elated177:


I still want answer to that question. Just mention some of the rules and commandments.

You should have given some of the Omenala Igbo, since you are Igbo.

Myer:


You really need to read the bible more and not just the Synoptic gospels. It's ok to prioritize the synoptics but do make time to read you read others old testament and the epistles.

God's plan has always been to save the rest of the world through Abraham. Genesis 22:18

Jesus came to save the lost sheep of Israel first and foremost but after they rejected him, he sent his disciples to the rest of the world.

That's irrefutable.

Myer:


I'm not arguing with you but if you have studied the old testament Prophets you'll know this was all prophesied.

That the Israelites will provoke God to jealousy and he will in turn reject them and bless the Gentiles more than them to also make them jealous.

This is prophesied by one of the Prophets Ezekiel or Isaiah. Paul also mentioned this.

So Jesus like you said was sent directly and strictly to the Israelites. Which was why he rejected the Gentile woman who wanted him to heal her daughter. But he eventually healed her daughter due to her faith.

It was for the prophecy to be fulfilled that the Israelites rejected him so that the blessing can be extended to the rest of the world.
That God will provoke the Jews into jealousy when they see him blessing the Gentiles. And so return to him and accept Jesus Christ.

Yes a few Jews accepted Jesus and still few Jews accept him today. So the purpose of God is yet to be fulfilled. Cos it's only a minority of the Jews that accept him. The majority have rejected him as a false prophet who tried to destroy the established religion Moses laid down. In fact if you do your research ,in most Jewish temples they place curses on Jesus every time.

The same God the jews worship is the same God we igbos worship. He gave same laws to all of mankind.

The one in the tanakh was written down by jews for jews...
We wrote our own in odinani for igbos...

Comprende??

elated177:


All you had to do was mention some of the odinala which you have been on about.

elated177:


Is that where the name of your god is?

elated177:


Do you think I have the time for that?

You don't really want to know anything...


You are comfortable with being ignorant...

Christians believe that one needs a blood sacrifice for the forgiveness of sin and that one who does not have a blood sacrifice will die in their sins and go to hell. For Christians, the ultimate and only blood sacrifice that counts with God came in the death of Jesus. Christianity believes that if one does not accept the death of Jesus as one’s blood sacrifice, then one is condemned to an eternity enduring the punishments of hell.

In Judaism the centrality of the animal sacrifices ceased, not with the second destruction of the Temple by the Romans, but rather with the first destruction of the Temple by the Babylonians. One must keep in mind that the vast majority of Jews never returned to the Promised Land under Cyrus of Persia. They remained in Babylonia. By the time Jesus was said to have been born, eighty percent of the world’s Jewish community lived outside the Promised Land, and did not care about the cessation of animal sacrifices. When the Temple was reestablished, the Jews of Babylonia made an annual financial gift for the maintenance of the Temple and the land, but never worried that God would not forgive them their sins without a blood sacrifice (much as Jews all over the world do today). They had no such fear because the Bible makes it explicitly clear that no blood sacrifice is necessary for the forgiveness of sins. The Bible also makes it clear that an animal sacrifice is not the exclusive means of obtaining forgiveness.

Hismasterpiece:


Heb 9:22 In fact, we can say that according to the law of Moses, nearly everything was purified by sprinkling with blood. Without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness of sins.

@ the bolded.. How can you say that the Bible makes it clear that no blood sacrifice is necessary for the forgiveness of sins? Let the Bible speak for itself.. Next time read the Bible very well before making an uninformed comment..

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odinala

Odinani is a pantheistic and polytheistic faith, having a strong central deity at its head.[2][3] All things spring from this deity. Although a pantheon of other gods and spirits, these being Ala, Amadiọha, Anyanwụ, Ekwensu, Ikenga, exists in the belief system, as it does in many other Traditional African religions, the lesser deities prevalent in Odinani expressly serve as helpers or elements of Chukwu, the central deity.

Explains how the Igbos could adopt Catholicism, with its God and Sons and angels and spirits and saints and popes and devils.

Didn't the Igbo Gods require sacrifice?

sonmvayina:

First and foremost MaxInDHouse, God created both life and death. Death was created to give meaning to life. Without death, life would be meaningless...trust me.
Secondly where did you get the idea of moving from Adam decendants to Jesus decendants? Whose idea I it. When did God plan this ?
When did god plan this transition?
You just following and believing whatever you like..?

Ken4Christ:


I don't know which Bible you are using. The Bible I know says otherwise. The book of Hebrews says;

Hebrews 9:22 And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and WITHOUT SHEDDING OF BLOOD is no remission.

And the blood of Jesus was shed to take away our sins. Hence, when John the Baptist saw him, he said;

John 1:29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.

Apostle Paul also wrote;

Ephesians 1:7 In whom WE HAVE REDEMPTION THROUGH HIS BLOOD, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace.

Apostle Peter said the same thing;

1st Peter 1:18-19
18 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;

19 BUT WITH THE PRECIOUS BLOOD OF CHRIST, as of a lamb without blemish and without SPOT.

There are many more scriptures that counters your submission. Please, study well before you mislead people with wrong information.

JESUS IS A PRAYER AWAY TO AND FROM GOD.

Adam's descendants are still fighting and killing one another till today {Revelations 6:2-3} over whose right is it to set standards in their society {Genesis 3:4-5} while Jesus' descendants are working towards one big and happy family of peace loving worshipers under one God! Isaiah 2:2-4; Micah 4:1-3

All Gods require sacrifices...whether white or black..

Where did Paul get the idea from?

Definitely not from the scriptures...

Lol....funny you will say that...

Which God?

Is it the one that commanded "do not have any other God before me"

Or another one?
