1Timothy 2:9
"likewise, I want women to adore themselves with proper clothing, modestly and discreetly, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly garments. "
please read other versions and then conclude in your findings

No he did not condemn it....but have u forgotten that the old testament was given to the Israelite's not christians...christianity didn't exist then, so what it means by jesus christ fulfilling the law is that he came as an israelite and obeyed the law and now we are bound by the laws he left behind for us which is to love God with all your heart and mind and love your neighbour as you love yourself, this dosen't mean the old testament is irrelevant it can also serve as a guide....but we're not bound by it, if not all will God reject the souls of female evangelists that preached (talked) in church
Does that mean the tithe part is for isrealite and not xtians. Why do we still pay tithe in our church today. The truth is that we only use the part of bible that we need and forget the rest

There is a difference between the New covenant and the Old testament. The word of God both in the New and the Old are valid but the Covenant that God made with Moses on Mount Moriah is annulled.Hebrews 8:13. But we can learn from it.

Shaving you beard will never make your heart pure but when you have Christ living in you and directing all the things you do,only then can you attain christian purity.You can fulfill all the law and still have pride in you without knowing.The requirement of the New Covenant is actually greater than the Old.Check the semon on the mount,Matthew 5 - 7.God does not just want us to only fulfill the law and congratulate ourselves but wants to take 100% of our lives and live for Him.Unfortunately or fortunately, this life can only be attained by being filled with the Holy Spirit and when I say the Holy Spirit, I'm not talking exclusively about speaking in tongues.I'm talking about God's spirit living in you.As God cannot sin the smallest sin,neither can you.It doesn't happen in a day but that's God's plan for every Christian.Without Holiness no man can please God.

In summary, God is not solely interested in your beard etc but what God longs for is you living and honouring Him every hour and that list is endless,it's only the Holy Spirit that can lead and guide you even in things not directly listed in the Bible.

Yelp, all those rules of living found in the old testament, no longer apply to us.

Well, what most christians don't realize is how much changed the moment Jesus resurrected from the dead. A new era began for mankind, an era of grace to say the least - an era where fulfilling the law was no longer what humans needed to do to be saved. An era of freedom (from the law).
so i can rape a little girl, repent and i'll still go to heaven?

religion is the most dangerous lie ever told.

Please do not Read the Letters, for it killeth but the Spirit giveth Life. Allow the Holy Spirit to illuminate the Scriptures which is God's word; in your heart. Only that way you will understand. So many of us refused to let go of what we have been taught or what we grew up believing and that wat the Holy Spirit cannot give you the revelation of God's word. Pls Read Romans 10:1-13.Romans 7(pls study and meditate carefully). Understand what Jesus came to do.I mean the purpose, the fulcrum of his Birth,his death, resurrection and ascension. Finally, do not dismiss the place and work of the Holy Spirit. If you live according to the Spirit n not according to your human nature, the righteous demands of the Law will be fully satisfied in you. Please Study Romans 8:1-17..
Believe in God's way of putting people right with him which is through Christ.If you believe that Jesus is Lord and believe that God raised him from death, you will be saved.
Salvation is for all. Thanks

2Cor 5:1-18.. Vs 14 says "we are ruled by the love of Christ,now that we recognize that one man died for everyone, which means that all shared in his death. If you are a new creature, his Love will be shed abroad in your heart by the holy ghost and that same love will nbe the one constraining you/us to do things against his will.

That is the revelation knowledge. The Holy Spirit was not in people in the old testament, even the priests don't have the Holy Spirit in them,He only comes upon them for a purpose..and that is why even with the Law given to them, they never stopped sinning. A born again have the Holy Spirit in Him/Her who directs. And so all we have to do is to Live according to the Spirit.

Thanks to grace we are forgiven of every sin we commit once we repent of it, however we aren't shielded from suffering the consequences that always follows our actions - karma.

Meaning, if you rape a little girl and repent you will be forgiven, but you will still face whatever punishment the laws of life determines your actions deserves - like jail terms, misfortune etc

Forgiveness doesn't shield you from that, there will always be consequences of you actions. We saw that in the story of David in the Bible. Even though God forgave his actions when he repented, chaos still ensued in his household as a result of his actions.

Dont mislead people by this very quote
It says wear, not grow
Na you no understand English!

Were there attachments in the bible?

"Wear" can be used to describe the style of hair you have on.
Use your dictionary bro.
Re: 7 Things The Bible Forbids, But We Do Anyway by viktor01(m): 2:22pm On Dec 27, 2015
Christ is the fulfilment of the law.
We don't live under the law but under grace cause the law keeps a man in bondage.
Furthermore, The letter kills but the spirit is what give life, if you interpret the Bible literally, you will miss it completely.

I don't think those who preach tithe and then say the old testament rules are no longer binding are wrong. As long as they make it clear that tithing is not a rule that must be followed or an obligation, but a means of giving back to God willingly. That's right, as long as they teach that 'not tithing' is not a sin.

It's not what goes into a man that defiles him, you can eat anything as long as you are comfortable doing and will not cause your brother to stumble.

After re-checking my dictionary , i'll need to give you perfect examples..

There is a difference between Denrele and Timaya/Uti

I hope you can now understand what im trying to say.

Jesus christ would always be an example away from sin, and if the scripture ever said it was not right for men cutting or shaving, it means Jesus grew hair and that is a very big difference with Wearing.
My Opinion.

Look at the 1st definition in your screenshot.

Using your Jesus Christ example.
When he grew the hair, he had it as his hairstyle, which means he "WORE" it!


I don't get how Christians try to interprete the bible sometimes.
I mean people just create confusion unnecessarily.

3) Women speaking in church :

1corinthians 14:34
"let your woman keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak, but they are commanded to be under obedience as also saith the law".
Does it mean that the Bible is anti-women?

(jesus to little girl):Let's go see the man that broke in your house, killed your parents raped and killed you in your sleep. He lives in a mansion right around the corner.

Don't you get it...we are not under the law again (Mosaic law)...tithing is part of the Mosaic law....nothing like tithing in the new testament but trust our brothers (church pipo) they looked for that verse and brought it back to life...i'm not saying tithing is bad o. but some peeps have taken it like a religious responsibility and duty that they must pay tithe every month...Even jesus christ blasted the pharisees concerning tithes cuz they were feeling like badt guys for paying tithe grin....you tithe is supposed to given out of love not by force by fire when you can't afford to give the money....in my own opinion it's better to even give the money to the less privileged than giving it as tithe you'll get to see youself putting a big smile on someone's face....see the verse

Luke 11:42
“Woe to you Pharisees, because you give God a tenth of your mint, rue and all other kinds of garden herbs, but you neglect justice and the love of God. You should have practiced the latter without leaving the former undone.

so many of our polithiefcians pay tithes too, but u can't buy God over or deceive him with your giving cuz he knows all...there's something my mumsi used to tell me...."if you want to give something let it paaaaaainnn you well then you'll know that you have given", so if you want to give it's ok but there is no standard that's why the widow's small coin was even valued more than those that put in huge sums.


in my personal opinion my money will do more good giving it to the less privileged than giving it to a pastor and his family to flex and tell me that the money was given to God not them (dem for throw the money go sky na) angry

so that means that circumcision is not required also, and some other wierd stuff about being unclean etc

sorry for the long epistle sha, but i know you get it now cheesy
