Forsake not the gathering if the Saint as it is the manner of some.

He is a Spiritualist. Here, it means someone who practises spirituality or believes God but doesn't serve Him through a system (Church, Mosque, etc.) yet claims to be.

#For whatever reason he stopped going to church (a necessary duty in Christianity) shows that he's not a true christian.

A true christian is like Job. He never separates himself from God, no matter what.

NOTE: You can't claim to serve God and not belong to a system. It's like saying you're a student yet you don't attend a school.

Which synagogue did John the Baptist attend while in the wilderness, how about the other 7000 (I think) prophets that were hidden in plain sight while Jezebele was frustrating the obvious ones and Elijah?

I strongly believe it is essentially a personal journey at a certain level.

Stop quoting that which you don't understand. The gatherings, written of in that passage, were the holy assemblies commanded by God Himself in His Old Covenant for those who are of the blood of Jacob in the Land of Israel- Leviticus 23 vs 1 - 8. God never gave you such commandments in Jesus Christ.

You can’t have one on one relationship with God without reading His Word

Where did God state this which you claim?

1. Stop spewing trash for the sake of it abeg!

2. Jesus Christ never asked any of His followers to attend your church services in His name. He never asked them to build church businesses using His name, and He certainly never asked anyone to sit as shepherd or teacher over those who belong to the Kingdom of God. So your churches and the religion it serves has nothing to do with God or Jesus Christ..

3. What God gave to individual men is His Law and He made it clear that only those who obey His Law belong to Him. Your religious system of Christianity along with all its many rituals and traditions are instead pagan in origin and not of God.

Prettychild:

It is recorded that people actually had relationship with him before his word was written, for some, they couldn't even read some just exclusively saw, some just heard etc.... but I think I understand your angle.

ComeToJesus:
A saved person can fall back into the world. That's what happened to you. You still need to be exhorted and taught by teachers of the word.

2. Self righteousness won't help you find God. You can't forsake the assembly of the brethren.

But according to scripture, those of you who cling to the doctrines and traditions of men(and their many churches) know nothing of God. As a matter of fact, Jesus Christ said that such people are instead against God in their decision to follow religion instead of God's Law in the Kingdom of God - Matthew 15 vs 1 - 14 & Mark 7 vs 1 - 13

2. Self righteousness refers to doing works of righteousness such as feeding the poor, clothing the naked, taking care of the sick, homing the homeless, visiting those in prison, all while living in disobedience of God's direct commandments and teachings.

What rubbish this one is saying now? Mtchew

While I do not hold brief for the man and his argument, I believe you are equally wrong in pretending that your churches and the religion at its foundation is of God.

Is it me or was Cornelius found from his point 2.

Cornelius was an Israelite and according to God’s Law, those of them who did God works in penitence would be made right with God, a granting of eternal life- Ezekiel 18 vs 1 - 32 & Ezekiel 33 vs 10 - 20. This is the same salvation from God's Old Law which was given to Zacchaeus and to the thief on the cross.

Na Cornelius is said to be the first Gentile convert in the book of Acts, the commander of an Italian regiment of the Romani Army, but gentiles have those privileges extended to them, I think..

Yes, and Cornelius also happened to be of the blood of Jacob evidence from the fact that His works were acknowledged by God whose Law of Moses only applies to those who are of the House of Israel - Ezekiel 18 vs 1 - 28 & Ezekiel 33 vs 9 - 20 , and He, Cornelius was also born-again in a Law, Jesus Christ, which also only applies as far as those who are of the House of Jacob - Matthew 15 vs 22 - 26.

I wish I understood the "blood of Jacob" reference you made concerning Cornelius.

Those who are descendants of Jacob aka Israelites.

God's Old Law of Moses was given by God only to Israelites .I.e. those born of the blood of Jacob.
Throuh the prophets, God also promised His agreement of peace - Jesus Christ- only to those who are of the blood of Jacob. So when Jesus Christ declare that He was sent only to the lost sheep of israel, He said that only those who are of the blood of Jacob can partake in the Kingdom of God..

I am not talking about the religion of IPOB? Islam is peace and nobody can stain it with evil.

I'm not even Igbo!

Islam is peace? Lol .

Suicide bombers!

Blupen:
Lol no be about believe na about knowing the truth.......na why them bring religion to put fear of judgement day in us, nothing like that my friend okay ask yourself what if the born you for china?? you go accept Tao as your religion and believe in the creation of their own God?? lols na you be the GOD, you ignorant people

You still have not made any sense. If i had been born in China, I will probably be worshipping whatever god or deity they worship there. If had been born in Saudi Arabia, I would probably be worshipping Allah. Since I was born in Nigeria and I am a Christian, allow me worship my God in peace. If you believe there is no God, your cup of tea. Keep your useless opinion to yourself.

Yes, I understand this. it is just that no reference of Cornelius as blood of Jacob and the passage where he comes up is mentioned where Peter is made to understand that salvation is to be extended to Gentiles too... starting with Cornelius as per the records in the book of Acts of the Apostles (Acts 10: 35-44).

If only he knew how many people started going to church since he stopped.

▪︎ God cursed and scattered His people to all the winds as as result of their sins - Deuteronomy 30 vs 1 - 6 - and a result there are those of Israel roots to be found in pretty much every tribe, every tongue and every nation of this earth, living and breeding with gentiles hence themselves Gentiles.

▪︎ God sent Jesus Christ to gather back to His mountain at His time all those of Israel who He had scattered to the winds as He said He would- Isaiah 66 vs 18 - 25 - and Jesus Christ made this known when He declared that He came only for the lost sheep of Israel(not just the Jewish tribes of Israel).

▪︎Peter, at the time, was of the Jewish subset of Israel who had yet to be cursed and scattered by God and harbored the idea that God cared only for he Jewish nation(excluding those who of them who were among the Gentiles).

▪︎ As earlier explained, Cornelius, though a gentile, was also of the House of Jacob -- his ancestry can be traced back to Jacob- and as such qualified to be taught of God's New Covenant, Jesus Christ, but Peter hesitated because Cornelius was not a jew - born of the tribe of Judah Benjamin or Levi - and this is reason why a vision was given him, Peter, explaining that all of God's Israel was included in His promise.

Nice clarification.

Now I see where the ping at the back of my mind was coming from, . I actually want to know where Cornelius' ancestry is recorded. My searches on it are not successful.

It isn't recorded, but it is revealed in the details presented in that in the context of the passage about the person of Cornelius

---

■ Cornelius was regarded as a just man — the only standard of righteousness at the time he could have been justified by was God's Old Law of Moses which, again, binds only those who are of the blood of Jacob.
■ Cornelius's charity to the poor was said to have been, by the angel, recognized by God — again the standard that his giving would have been accorded such recognization was the standard set by God in His Old Law, which, again, is binding to only those who are of the blood of Jacob.
■ In addition, the Holy Spirit aka the Spirit of Truth -- He is subject only to Jesus Christ meaning He only reveals to the followers of Jesus Christ that which pertains to Jesus Christ and the Kingdom of God as revealed by Jesus Christ in John 14 vs 25 - 27 & John 15 vs 26 - 27 & John 16 vs 4 - 15 -- being the guide who sent Peter to Cornelius indicates that Cornelius must have been of Israelite roots for the Spirit of God to instruct Peter to Cornelius that which is Holy. If you recall, Jesus Christ, in Matthew 7 vs 6, instructed His followers not to give that which is Holy to the dogs, dogs being a reference for those who are not of the House of Israel - Matthew 15 vs 20 - 26.
■ Lastly, Cornelius became born-again, after he was baptized by Peter— and yet again, since Jesus Christ was sent by the Father only to those who are of the blood of Jacob, Cornelius had to have been an Israel for him to have been granted entry into the Kingdom of God.
