immaculatesense: Guy you just like stories! Angels are the sons of God only born again Christians later became "Sons of God" {John :11-12} because they will also become like angels in heaven! Matthew 22:30 @ Genesis 6 angels came down materialised bodies for themselves and started mating with female humans. Daughters of men belongs to humans for marriage but angels aren't supposed to mate with humans that's why the ladies bear unusual babies (giants) for them. So calm down and learn, humans are supposed to marry humans there's nothing strange if humans marry humans but it's due to the fact that the ones talked about there aren't humans that's why the Bible says "the sons of God married the daughters of men" |

Joshuam1: Sebi you understand, shey? |
Re: What Is The Most Seemingly Misinterpreted Portion Of The Bible? by immaculatesense(m): 4:44pm On Jun 19, 2022 |
Joshuam1:Dear Joshuam 1 U are great point...but the submission of a woman to man is not d kinda submission that happens between a master and his slave... Remember Paul even said in Ephesians 5:21 [21]And further, submit to one another out of reverence for Christ. Before verse 22...Ephesians 5:22 [22]For wives, this means submit to your husbands as to the Lord. The reason for the submission is like a pilot or captain of the ship...two captain cannot drive a ship at the same time...dat doesn't mean he cannot be guided or question by other co workers in the ship...Read 1 Corinthians 11:11 [11]But among the Lord’s people, women are not independent of men, and men are not independent of women. God and Paul decided to delegate this authority to either of the man or woman...the man was chosen for many reasons that Paul highlighted in 1 Timothy 2:13-14 [13]For God made Adam first, and afterward he made Eve. [14]And it was not Adam who was deceived by Satan. The woman was deceived, and sin was the result. And in 1 Corinthians 11:8-9 [8]For the first man didn’t come from woman, but the first woman came from man. [9]And man was not made for woman, but woman was made for man. I hope u can understand these...it's more of partnership but one as to take the forefront than master stroke servant relationship where one controls the other whether right it wrong |

immaculatesense:I see in desperation you are again trying to redefine/twist what is written in order that you can continue bowing to God's curse on marriage - Genesis 3 vs 16 - while you delude yourself that you are redeemed from the very same curse by Jesus Christ. Just know that God is not a fool! 2. God and Paul delegate authority? You actually think God to be an imbe_cile, don't you? |
Re: What Is The Most Seemingly Misinterpreted Portion Of The Bible? by Kobojunkie: 4:51pm On Jun 19, 2022 |
AntiChristian:You are joking, right? 2. How do you intend on doing that exactly? |

MaxInDHouse: Lol...u didn't answer all the fact questions I presented...do angel reproduce? Do the devil still available access to the throne of God? See the etymology of the Hebrew word "sons of God on Wikipedia...the oldest believe from the earliest Hebrew historians who said they are righteous people rather than angel before the later ones that started the debate it to be angels rather than righteous people... Even in Judaism that predate Christianity interpretes sons of God as righteous people of God See

Kobojunkie: Joking on what? The Bible verses that mentions breasts many times were inspired and written in your Bible. No be joke. Heaven is for the pious and righteous! |

immaculatesense:I don't understand what you're driving at, the question is about misinterpretation of the Bible.....That's how alcohol lovers interprete that passage judging by what I always hear them say. That "excess" is what they focus on.

AntiChristian:What is wrong with writings on breasts and inspiration? You think pornographic writings aren't inspired? Heaven is for those who are born-again aka who are of the Kingdom of God. So your righteousness and piousness is filthy rags if you are not at least born-again. |

Kobojunkie:Dear kobojunkie... If I and u are captain and well trained ones...we wanna jump into ship...won't we first sit to decide which of us will drive the wheel? Amos 3:3 comes to mind Amos 3:3 [3]Can two people walk together without agreeing on the direction? U are bothered about my usage of God and Paul?...God commands...Paul convey it in writing or do God write by himself to us from heaven? U talk about curse...why are you surprised...wen Adam and Eve sinned...didn't God curse them that they will die?...when Jesus came to save us...did that still stop man from dieing(natural death) till date? Why do women still available to go through pain in child bearing according to the curse? If the curse is total over? Ur so funny...u make me laugh |
Re: What Is The Most Seemingly Misinterpreted Portion Of The Bible? by immaculatesense(m): 5:11pm On Jun 19, 2022 |
Bahamas95:I understand u...they are not wrong if they focus on the excess...cos that's wats wrong...and wat do u mean by alcohol lover? Is it people dat love to drink alcohol or peoplethat get drunk drinking alcohol...cos the people who love drinking alcohol are not breaking any rule but those who love to drink drunk are...so,they are different |

Re: What Is The Most Seemingly Misinterpreted Portion Of The Bible? by Kobojunkie: 5:19pm On Jun 19, 2022 |
immaculatesense:1. So you are saying that you bend what is written in order to have it conform to your will because you are a captain much like God is supposed to be? 2. Paul wrote down the Gospel, Jesus Christ, God's Law in the Kingdom of God? Your claimed that authority was bestowed upon you in the name of Paul's, and that is what I am concerned with understanding the how and why of. 3. Your rambling does not make sense of any kind. God cursed mankind in Genesis 3 vs 16 vs 22, and then God sent Jesus Christ to redeem men from that curse. Meaning that those who belong to Jesus Christ are to, through obedience of Him, no longer live under the curse. What part of this do you have issue with understanding? |
Re: What Is The Most Seemingly Misinterpreted Portion Of The Bible? by Kobojunkie: 5:23pm On Jun 19, 2022 |
AntiChristian:1. First of all, why would anyone need to memorize any of what is written in scripture to begin with? Second, what is wrong with memorizing the poems written by Solomon about his beloved? Is that worse than what kids learn from school or their friends? 2. Moses, Abraham and David aren't in Heaven though, so? 3. What you claim is theory is the Law as far as the Kingdom of God where Heaven happens to be situated. So, if the King says you at least have to be born-again, is it your intention to bulldoze your way into His Kingdom against His Will? |

Re: What Is The Most Seemingly Misinterpreted Portion Of The Bible? by Ojuntana: 5:25pm On Jun 19, 2022 |
AntiChristian: It was not my intention to delve into whether God approves of polygamy but to show you that Moses never married two wives as you and your teachers sought to erroneously imply. Throughout the Bible, Moses is reputed to have two sons Gershon and Eliezer, both from Ziporrah. Major characters in the Bible usually have their children mentioned. So either you imply that the Cushite woman was barren (which will also have been mentioned), or she is simply a figment of your imagination. As for the polygamy question, it is interesting that you Muslims derive so much joy from quoting old testament scriptures to back up your wild claims while ignoring Christ's explicit injunctions. The injunction of Christ concerning marriage as found in Matthew 19:4-6 4Jesus answered, “Have you not read that from the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’a 5and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’b? 6So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate.”In verse 6, Jesus clearly spelt out that they are no longer two not three, four or five. If you read further down the chapter, you will see where he even agreed that it is even better not to marry at all. Verse 9 of same chapter says Now I tell you that whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another woman, commits adultery Obviously, if you're not allowed to divorce your wife and marry another except on ground of sexual immorality, how much more marrying others with her. May I also ask. If God allows for polygamy, why peg it at only four? What difference especially does it make? Does that not also mean David whom you quoted here also went against God's law since he married more than four. And how com one man got waiver for eleven? Of all the other prophets and people since the beginning of the Earth, only one man got that waiver. Why? So if you wish to follow the letter that kills according to Romans, you're very much free to, but don't rely on the Bible to carry out your personal proclivities |

Ojuntana: I think you have the right to interpret your Bible as you like. Many of such interpretation exists. Some Christians believe as you while others believed as me. All is proven from your Bible. But as regards your argument on Jesus, he never spoke against polygamy! All he said was against divorce. |
Re: What Is The Most Seemingly Misinterpreted Portion Of The Bible? by Kobojunkie: 5:47pm On Jun 19, 2022 |
dnawah:I know of that fantastical explanation to what Jesus Christ said as well. But I am telling you instead that the meaning of what Jesus Christ said is instead found right there in the context of Matthew 19 vs 16 - 23. |

Kobojunkie:How do u think people see u and ur reply...it does not even correlate with wat ur quoting in my comment 1) Which time did I exemplify God as captain...the captain example I gave was about the man and the woman...go back to dat comment and read again before replying...gushhhh 2) You seem lost in my comment total...who said Paul wrote God's law...I said he wrote the epistle to the church for instruction from God...or do u have issue with 2 Timothy 3:16-17 [16]All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. [17]God uses it to prepare and equip his people to do every good work. Or do u not believe the epistle of Paul for service or doctrine cos it seems I don't know u and ur belief... 3) Do u even know wat Jesus came to do?...after man dies...the hope of salvation is the fact that we have hope to be raised at the last day...do u tink as long as man lives...those things God said in Genesis 3:16-19?...if u say we are free from it in this earth den the last curse is "FOR YOU WERE MADE FROM DUST AND TO DUST SHALL YOU RETURN" Genesis 3:19 [19]By the sweat of your brow will you have food to eat until you return to the ground from which you were made. For you were made from dust, and to dust you will return.” Wats ur problem with accepting FACTS |
Re: What Is The Most Seemingly Misinterpreted Portion Of The Bible? by Kobojunkie: 6:04pm On Jun 19, 2022 |
immaculatesense:1. I obviously didn't understand the reason behind your two-captains schpeel hence the question. 2a. Instruction from the God who only said His own are to teach the world the very same Gospel He taught to them? 2b. As for inspiration, even the lies spoken by the devil and his demons, all of them recorded in the scriptures are also inspired. So I am not certain why you insist on inspiration as if it is certification of Truth. Unless you are here suggesting demons and devils speak God's Truth. 2c. I only believe in the teachings(and commandments) of Jesus Christ, God's Truth. All other teachings that run in conflict or contradict God's Truth,I ofcourse do not believe in. 3. Oh, I do know what Jesus Christ came to do. He came to redeem/save men from God's curse, and make into Sons of God. Salvation, which you all claim is from God's curse. 4. Those who are of the Kingdom of God have overcome that particular part of the curse by believing in Jesus Christ. Eternal life which you get as you enter into through one of the two gates ensure that you will not return to dust when you die. |

Kabikala:well Christ gave Peter the mandate to administer in his church ,to him he gave the keys of the kingdom that whatever he binds on earth was bound in heaven I.e authority to act on his behalf in his church . Many times in the scriptures Peter is been told to feed his sheep,before and soon after Christ resurrection Christ reminds peter to administer to his sheep ,the church. Peter stood ahead of the apostles to speak on the day of Pentecost, twas Peter the revelation was given to extend the gospel to the gentiles of which Paul received that commission,Galatians 2:9, Peter ,James and John were the presiding council over the early church,hence the pattern here isn't much different from the old testament where God calls a prophet to teach his people his gospel and call them to repentance amos 3:7,surely Christ indeed gave this mandate to Peter . Authority is critical, hence one cannot act in God's name without been called of God as of Aaron,that's the pattern Hebrews 5:4. |
Re: What Is The Most Seemingly Misinterpreted Portion Of The Bible? by Ojuntana: 6:10pm On Jun 19, 2022 |
AntiChristian:That's because the question asked him was about divorce. But it's obvious in his explanation that he wasn't advocating polygamy. Two (not three or four) shall become one is what he said. In fact, he placed singleness above being married! There is no biblical interpretation that says Moses had two wives. It's a figment of your imagination. Chronology is part of biblical exegesis and there's no chronology that describes Moses as having two wives or having more than two sons. Now you've not been able to answer why peg polygamy at four? What difference does it make if it is four or five? If polygamy is right, I see no reason why there should be a maximum limit. And why was a particular man given license to marry eleven? What exactly was the reason for being given that particular privilege? |

Joshuam1:fantastic!!! These 3 bear record !! 3 beings with one purpose,all shareholders in a company . During Christ baptism we can see that Christ was on earth, the Father spoke and was heard from heaven,The Holy Ghost also bear record, a sign of a dove upon Christ to John of the divinity of Christ . All these 3 beings work hand in hand . This doctrine was changed by the early priests of the Catholic church way back thru debate, lots of doctrine we have now were debated back then usually by majority wins regardless of what's right and apostasy, a trip back to early Christianity will open your mind to many wonderful events ,indeed it's wonderful.

Kobojunkie:Ohhh..now am beginning to understand the sect u belong...those who really do not believe in Paul's teaching but the first four gospels...ohhh...I get... But also u don't understand wat inspire means...that doesn't mean perfection but the need to put down sometin...human error is permissible because it deals with perspective...example is.. 2 Samuel 24:1 [1]Once again the anger of the lord burned against Israel, and he caused David to harm them by taking a census. “Go and count the people of Israel and Judah,” the lord told him. And 1 Chronicles 21:1 [1]Satan rose up against Israel and caused David to take a census of the people of Israel. One writer said the Lord rose against David...another writer Said the Devil rose against david... This are perspectives but that doesn't change the moral and the purpose... Let ask straight since I know where u belong now... Should a believer work to Earn or live without doing nothing? |
