Let The Bible Speak For Itself by paxonel(m): 7:38am On Aug 26, 2018 |
Over the years in christianity, there were several cases where some people assuming the position of the leaders of the church misunderstanding scriptures and deceiving the world and Christians(it is still happening today). For instance, there were times when the church and the whole world was made to believe that the earth was flat in shape and not like a sphere.(a position which was never backed up with scriptures). But billions of people dogmatically believe in this erroneous doctrine simply because their pastors or Pope says so, until the era of Gallelio. The same thing is still happening today in all churches you can ever step your foot on. The leader or pastor or Reverend or Father or Daddy GO is the one talking for God and the bible. The leader is not having a clue of what the bible truly represent or he deliberately do not want to have a clue simply because he is benefiting financially from lies. The people who are listening to these leaders will not possibly perceive what is happening to them. And the nation at large is being affected negatively. If you are an atheist, this is not for you to smile because, your case is even worst. You are miserable because you are equally affected by the errors of religion so long you interact with people. You cannot possibly understand what is happening to you. A religious person with the wrong mindset takes over the position of authority there it goes again. Bible, you don't know Quran, you don't know How then will you redeem yourself as an atheist from the society? How will you speak and correct that religious person in position of authority from his own religious point of view (if you have the opportunity to do so)when you don't know anything about the bible or quran? THE WHOLE MESSAGE OF THE BIBLE IN SUMMARY Matthew 22:35 35.Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying, 36.Master, which is the great commandment in the law? 37. Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38. This is the first and great commandment. 39.And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 40. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets Passing the wrong information to people in the name of preaching, is not a way to love them Everyone want to obey this instruction of christ and live better, but few people are truly willing to undergo the process of understanding what people truly need before they can truly understand how to love them, and that process is education, attending a quality school. And you will agree with me that there are no quality universities and colleges in Nigeria(or are schools of theological studies quality schools?). this explains why Christians in Nigeria cannot meet up to this standards of Jesus Christ. So, they resolve to going church for people to see, so that they can be seen as holy people. 1 Like |

paxonel Bible summary according to paxonel why do you leave the other parts telling people to stone adulterers? |
Re: Let The Bible Speak For Itself by orisa37: 10:09am On Aug 26, 2018 |
Thanks for this Thread. God, Himself, teaches this Narative Concept called The Bible. I had a Printer, whose Education was only Secondary School Certificate and who woke up one day to become a prolific Evangelist quoting Bible accurately from Genesis to Revelation. I later found out that The Supreme Spirit, Himself, in a Trance, taught my Printer what he knew. God is a Miracle. The Bible is a Conceptual Narrative used to typify Morals or Spiritual Relations. Ofcourse, The Bible Speaks for Itself and will continue to do so until Jesus, Who taught us to love The Supreme Spirit and Ourselves like Ourselves comes back. Then The Entire Conceptual Narrative will manifest and become personified and real again. Now The Bible is speculatively ricochetting Spiritual Ideas around The Globe. No one can monopolise The Teachings of a Speculative Concept like The Subject of The Concept-J.C. Himself. Until The Manifestation of Jesus Return, The Bible remains suspended and unreachable in The Air!!! 1 Like |

Contrary to popular belief the church never believed the earth was flat until galileo. Unfortunately atheists are largely to blame for spreading this misconception due to their obsession with lying about religion, science and history. |
Re: Let The Bible Speak For Itself by paxonel(m): 9:14pm On Aug 26, 2018 |
CAPSLOCKED:then obviously, you did not study the bible objectively for many years. It happened to me too, I was taking the bible according to the normal or conventional theological pattern for many years, until after my graduation from school. That was when i began to reason logically enough and started thinking objectively and questioning some of these conventional doctrines. Instead of dumping the bible to become an atheist I started reading the bible again from the scratch as if i didn't know anything. Today, every questions i couldn't get answers before, i can clearly see all the answers now. 1 Like |
Re: Let The Bible Speak For Itself by paxonel(m): 9:31pm On Aug 26, 2018 |
beatmonster:because the same word to God have made me to understand that not all his words in the bible are specifically for me or people of my generation. So i choose the ones that are for me and this current era I'm living, and leave the ones that were documented for people of the old, which still reflects in the bible today.

There are Other tribes during that era never stoned their adulterers. So, I cannot begin to stone adulterers in my days simply because i saw people doing that in the bible.

Dalam0n:these things are past, infact they are not part of christianity. Remember, I said there is time for everything. That time was the time of old, may be you should ask people practicing Judaism why did God allowed these. Not Christians like me. Because, first of all, the christian bible made me to understand that the law was not from God himself but it was from Moses John 8:4 They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act. 8:5 Now MOSES IN THE LAW COMMANDED US (the Jews, not even Christians) that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou? Do you see that the law was from Moses and not from God himself ?(what was known as one of the traditional mosaic law of the jews) Secondly, These kinda laws have been placed optional in christianity. Meaning, if Christians like the laws they should obey them, if they don't like them they should reject the laws. And that is what I'm doing today. I am rejecting useless laws. Hence, it's not everything called the word of God in the bible i should follow. To me, some of them are not God's word but words from mere humans like Moses. Jesus Christ himself did not keep such stupid laws why then should i? John8:7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. 11. She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more. Do you see that now? 1 Like |
