Is God Holy? Is Jesus Christ Holy? Is Holy Spirit Holy? How can you claim to be part of a holy congregation - Father, Son and Spirit and be unholy? Can a goat leg be joined to a human body? Why then do unholy so-called Christians think they can be part of Christ’s Holy Body? God is Holy and doesn’t deal with unholy people. If you still don’t know God, SIN is the virus that has corrupted you and made you fall short of God’s glory. The unseen God has been seen and revealed through Jesus Christ. Question is not what church you belong to? Are you a part of the holy congregation in Heaven? Are you a body part of the body(Christ) of which Christ is head? Which part are you? If the head is holy, the part can’t be unholy. Repent of your sins today and stop religion. God Is not religious or churchy. God is holy and you must be holy. |

HolinesstodLord:Christianity... another religion with its foundation steeped in contradictions! 🙄🙄🙄 According to your gods of men, there is none holy/perfect/sinless/without sin, so how can a Christian clamor for that which Christianity itself deems unattainable by Christian-deviced standards? ![]() |

Kobojunkie:Get out of religion. Why look to men when you can look to God? If Jesus was holy, Every man & women can be holy through Jesus Christ… Jesus Christ made it possible. He is the first holy one to walk earth and also the firstborn from the dead. God bless. |

HolinesstodLord:You say, "get out of religion," as though religion is not at the foundation of the belief you hold today. 🙄 2. Do you equally believe what Jesus Christ of Israel declared in Matthew 15 which is that His Father —YHWH of Israel — sent HIm only to the Lost Sheep of Israel implying that all those who are not of the bloodline of Jacob have no part in Him? 🙄🙄 3. Are you referring to the same Jesus Christ of Israel who made clear that those who are dogs— non-Israelites — cannot handle that which is Holy nor partake of it? Or are you simply here to mouth off regarding ideas you truly have no belief in?🙄🙄🙄 |

Kobojunkie:I only showed your comment to chatGPT without adding any additional prompt. Seems like The AI is basically smarter than this guy on Nairaland. Next time always quote the whole chapter. You can't cunningly lift some verses and act smart. Makes you dumber sir🥲 1. Matthew 15:24 - "I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel" Context This verse occurs during Jesus' interaction with the Canaanite woman (Matthew 15:21-28). The woman asks Jesus to heal her demon-possessed daughter. Initially, Jesus says He was sent only to the "lost sheep of Israel," implying that His primary mission was to the Jewish people. Meaning Jesus’ Mission: Jesus’ earthly ministry focused primarily on the Jews because they were the covenant people (Genesis 12:1-3). God had chosen Israel to be a light to the nations (Isaiah 49:6). However, this does not mean non-Jews (Gentiles) were excluded; rather, the Gospel was first to the Jews (Romans 1:16). Jesus fulfilled promises made to the patriarchs, and through Israel, salvation would come to the entire world (John 4:22). The Canaanite Woman’s Faith: Despite Jesus’ initial response, the Canaanite woman persists, demonstrating remarkable faith. Jesus praises her faith and heals her daughter (Matthew 15:28). This shows that God’s mercy and grace extend to all who believe, regardless of ethnicity or heritage. Supporting Scriptures: Isaiah 49:6: "I will also make you a light for the Gentiles, that my salvation may reach to the ends of the earth." Romans 10:12-13: "For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, bestowing his riches on all who call on him." 2. Matthew 15:26 - "It is not right to take the children's bread and toss it to the dogs" Context This was part of the same conversation with the Canaanite woman. Jesus refers to Gentiles as "dogs," which was a common term used by Jews at the time to denote outsiders to the covenant. Meaning Cultural Metaphor: The term “dogs” reflects the Jewish perspective of the time, not an endorsement of exclusion. Jesus uses the metaphor to test the woman’s faith, not to reject her. Faith Over Heritage: The woman humbly accepts the metaphor, responding that even dogs eat crumbs from their master’s table. Her response demonstrates humility and trust in God’s mercy. Jesus rewards her faith, illustrating that salvation and healing are based on faith, not ethnicity. Supporting Scriptures: Galatians 3:28: "There is neither Jew nor Gentile, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus." Acts 10:34-35: "God does not show favoritism but accepts from every nation the one who fears him and does what is right." Broader Biblical Context Jesus’ mission to Israel was a stepping stone to the inclusion of all nations. After His resurrection, He explicitly commands His disciples to make disciples of all nations (Matthew 28:19). The Apostle Paul, inspired by the Holy Spirit, confirms this universal message (Romans 11:11-12, Ephesians 2:11-22). Conclusion The passages you referenced highlight the prioritization of Israel in God’s salvation plan but do not imply exclusion of non-Israelites. Jesus’ interaction with the Canaanite woman affirms that God’s grace extends to all who approach Him in faith. The Gospel message is inclusive, offering salvation to every person who believes, regardless of their background (John 3:16). These passages, when read in context, demonstrate the depth of God’s love and His desire to save all humanity. |

mushroomFarm: I asked you a question regarding whether you believe what Jesus Christ of Israel said, and you posted comments from ChatGPT instead... I don't follow. Is your belief now based on chapGPT and no longer in Jesus Christ of Israel and YHWH of Israel, both of whom you pretended earlier that you did in? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 ★Again, do you equally believe what Jesus Christ of Israel declared in Matthew 15 which is that His Father —YHWH of Israel — sent HIm only to the Lost Sheep of Israel implying that all those who are not of the bloodline of Jacob have no part in Him? 🙄🙄 ★Are you referring to the same Jesus Christ of Israel who made clear that those who are dogs— non-Israelites — cannot handle that which is Holy nor partake of it? Or are you simply here to mouth off regarding ideas you truly have no belief in?🙄🙄🙄 |

Many are not chosen so they will reject Jesus Christ. Those who are Jesus’ will come to him. Let them debate all they want to debate when they cross over to the other side, they will understand better by and by… God is Holy and want all who he has chosen in Christ Jesus from before the foundation of the world to be holy… Earthly people can’t understand heavenly things. They are of different dimension. If you are of God, come out from among them and be ye separate(Holy) and touch not the unclean thing and I will receive you and be a father unto you and you shall be my sons and my daughter saith the Lord of Host. |

Kobojunkie:I am past belief. I am in knowledge. I know who I called Jesus Christ and Who I call God. But it starts with belief. Do you believe in the only son of God, Jesus Christ? If you do, then be holy for God is holy. |

HolinesstodLord:So, who you call Jesus Christ and who you call God are completely different entities from the ones declared in the book you pretend you believe in? ![]() 2. How do you define Holiness/Sinlessness if you reject the ideas put forth in the book you freely add/remove/change at will? ![]() |

Kobojunkie:1. Your question shows you don’t understand spiritual things. Science(the knowledge of humans) taught you all you know and science is not even up to class with the knowledge of Angels. God is one and when you meet him, you will understand our brains know nothing. 2. Holiness is the way of God. If you follow his ways and keep his precepts, you are deemed holy. Jesus is holy. Repent of your sins and be converted. |

HolinesstodLord:as expected, nothing but the usual religious gibberish. What the vast majority of you religious individuals fail to realize is that the God of Israel and His Son, Jesus Christ of Israel, are quite logical in their definition of the relationship that exists between them and humans. They each draw up and have contracts/Laws with which the relationship between them and their followers are guided. But you religious folks instead worship a different entity who according to you all requires you abandon your ability to critically reason and logically process your existence and experiences. 🙄🙄🙄🙄 2. See! Religious gobbledegook as expected! 🙄 |
