Walk with GOD while you're still alive in order to get the Heavenly recognition before you transit to the other realm of eternity because once any man dies, that is the end of mercy and grace. Don't think when a man dies and anybody starts praying over his dead body that GOD should grant him a place in Heaven when all he laboured for while on earth was to make it to Hell. The mercy any dead can get is for them to walk with GOD while they're still alive, for if they have a separation with GOD while they're alive, Hell is their abode once they die because they will have separation with GOD when they die as well. So praying for the dead to get GOD'S mercy after they die, meanwhile when they're alive they don't know GOD is a waste of time. Such prayers don't answer. Because if they're not sealed by the HOLY SPIRIT, with the eternal life of JESUS CHRIST in them, it's useless praying for such to enter heaven. Know the truth now, not later. 1 John 2:21 I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth. |

MistadeRegal:Eternity comes through Jesus Christ.... He is eternal life itself. And before Jesus Christ, the Old Covenant law applied to those who were descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. So, where in the bible does it suggest that ALL of Mankind has eternity bestowed on them from before the arrival of Jesus Christ? Also, did Jesus Christ promise eternal life then to all of mankind or just to those who accept Him? |

Kobojunkie:Can I ask you a question, what is the old convenant and the new convenant. you keep saying this things |
| Re: Walk With GOD While Still Alive by Kobojunkie: 5:40pm On Aug 14, 2020 |
delkuf:God made two contract agreements between Himself and men, and these agreements are documented in the Bible. They are at the center of His relationship with man. OLD Covenant : This agreement is documented beginning from Exodus 17 through to Deuteronomy 30 where it is ratified between God and the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, AND Jacob. No other people are included in this agreement, and the condition for obtaining the promise in this agreement is obedience. The old Covenant came with a yoke of about 613 Commandments, about 20 blessings, more than 30 curses, a burden that is borne by every person in the land, and a promise of eternal life in the land of Canaan. Only those whose ancestors line go back to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob could partake of this covenant. The seal of the Old Covenant was circumcision of the flesh. Deuteronomy 30 vs 15-20 (ERV)This agreement is an everlasting agreement between God and the people of Israel (descendants of Abraham, Isaac, AND Jacob) - no other people/persons are covered under that agreement. Also It cannot be changed or done away with. New Covenant : God Himself, through His Word(Jesus Christ), made yet another agreement with man. Jesus Christ is the embodiment of the New Covenant (The Grace and Truth of God), and only those who accept Him can partake of Him. The details of the New Covenant are found throughout the Gospels and are detailed in the Life examples, Teachings, and most importantly, WORDS(Truth) that is Jesus Christ. The condition for acceptance of this Covenant is also Obedience(God does not change). This agreement comes with a yoke of about 46 commandments, each person carrying his own cross (burden, not someone else's), approximately 17 blessings, approximately 30 curses, and the promise of everlasting life beginning right here on earth, and eventual entry into the kingdom of God for those who make it. Every human being on the planet is eligible for this covenant, however, there are 7 commandments stipulated in other for one to truly "accept" Jesus Christ, the New Covenant. The seal of the New Covenant is God Himself, through His Spirit. Compared to the Old Covenant, the New Covenant, Jesus Christ, comes with an easy yoke, and a light burden. And He, Jesus Christ, is gentile and humble at heart. Matthew 11 vs 27-30 (ESV)The details of the New Covenant were concluded when Jesus Christ said, on the cross, "It is finished". He gave us all the commandments that were considered part of the New Covenant, and what was left was the fulfillment of Prophecy to free mankind from the burden of sin and death, as well as ensure that His New Covenant reached my ears and your ears- His great commission set this in motion. The Spirit of God, the seal, arrived approximately 4 months(120 days) later to fully ratify the New Covenant with man. |

Kobojunkie:Where in the Bible is the 76 commandment of the new convenant stated and 17 blessings and 30 curses. And do you know through the Christ we are descendants of Abraham |
| Re: Walk With GOD While Still Alive by Kobojunkie: 6:28pm On Aug 14, 2020 |
delkuf:There are about 46, not 76 commandments. As I mentioned, the Covenant is embodied in the life, teaching and words of Jesus Christ. So if you read the book of Matthew, beginning from chapter 5 through to Matthew 27 vs 50(where Jesus dies), you should find the information you seek. Below are some of the new Covenant blessings Matthew 5 vs 2-11 (ESV)Below are some of the curses/woes included.. Matthew 23 vs 13-27 delkuf:You will have to show me where God said this, or where Jesus Christ stated this. After all, if this were true, it should be included in the details of the New Covenant that He embodied, should it not? |
| Re: Walk With GOD While Still Alive by Kobojunkie: 6:51pm On Aug 14, 2020 |
delkuf:Here are the 7 commandments for accepting Jesus Christ, the New Covenant. Obedience is the key into the Kingdom of God. Acceptance means obedience to His commandments. No one can become a follower of Jesus Christ simply by wishing for it. Jesus required that those who choose to follow Him do the work that He commands they first do i.e. Obey that which He has stipulated. The New Covenant, Jesus Christ, is the Grace and Truth of God that God sent you, and Obedience is the key! 1. Be prepared to abandon parents, brother, sister, children, spouse, in-laws, e.t.c. 2. Abandon all that you know/believe, have, and all that you are 3. Bear your own burden (not someone else's cross- not even your family's or children's) Matthew 10 vs 34-394. Become a child again in your thinking and your actions Matthew 14 vs 23-245. Be prepared to lose life(reputation, career, control, property, etc.) Matthew 16 vs 24-276. Desire above all to find and enter the Kingdom of God and also walk the path of righteousness, with God as your guide every step 7. Let go of all control you have over your life and circumstances, allowing God to take care of your every need Matthew 6 vs 25-34 |

Kobojunkie:Which Bible translation are you using. And you interpreted this list as the Lord Jesus Christ commandment |
| Re: Walk With GOD While Still Alive by Kobojunkie: 7:10pm On Aug 14, 2020 |
delkuf:I believe these are from ERV since it is written in common English language as used today. delkuf:What do you mean? Are you referring to this command"So I tell you, don’t worry about the things you need to live—what you will eat, drink, or wear. Life is more important than food, and the body is more important than what you put on it."? Or this command "What you should want most is God’s kingdom and doing what he wants you to do. Then he will give you all these other things you need."? Or any of the others in between? |
| Re: Walk With GOD While Still Alive by delkuf(m): 7:18pm On Aug 14, 2020 |
Kobojunkie:All this things you wrote, the Lord Jesus Christ didn't say they are commandment. It is you that is tagging it as a commandment. And I have problem that of the not bringing peace but trouble. that word trouble is not appropriate. I use to read the new living translation but there was lot of misinterpretation. So I stop Reading it. And Bible translation apart from King James version is nothing. Write that same Bible verse in King James version you will see it is a whole different thing. One piece of advice, stop reading erv, nlt version of the Bible |
| Re: Walk With GOD While Still Alive by Kobojunkie: 7:25pm On Aug 14, 2020 |
delkuf:A better advice is that you learn that language evolves over time, but the word of God does not change with language. You are reading from King James because you were probably one of those fed the lie that it is an accurate translation or something. But King James is not exempt as far as errors and mistakes in the translations of the words of men contained in it. That said, this is the same passage pulled from the King James translation Matthew 6 vs 25-34Notice that the commands are still there... |
| Re: Walk With GOD While Still Alive by delkuf(m): 7:40pm On Aug 14, 2020 |
Kobojunkie:Am not saying that King James version is totally correct, but at least is better compare to this version you are reading. let's take up. Write that passage of the Bible where erv said that Jesus has not come to bring peace but trouble, write the version of King James and let's see the difference |
| Re: Walk With GOD While Still Alive by Kobojunkie: 7:52pm On Aug 14, 2020 |
delkuf:No it isn't better to compare in anyway. As long as you have books written by human hands, there will always be errors in its translations - even in reading what is written, many are bound to unconsciously insert their personal delusions/ideas(they call it "special interpretation" between the lines. The Spirit of God does not give any type of "special interpretation" as far as even the Bible is concerned and there is no scripture to back up that claim. Since the book is written and present in Human language, What I have found as best practise, as is same with any other book out there, is to pick the translation that is in the language you are best able to comprehend, and try to let the book read itself to you, rather than you reading extra meanings into what is written. delkuf:ok Matthew 10 vs 34-39So, do you notice any difference? |
| Re: Walk With GOD While Still Alive by delkuf(m): 8:02pm On Aug 14, 2020 |
Kobojunkie:You see the Lord Jesus Christ cannot bring trouble. And the Bible is not the same as any other book. This is where I don't believe you |
| Re: Walk With GOD While Still Alive by delkuf(m): 8:03pm On Aug 14, 2020 |
Brachaa, I know you want to defend your brother |
| Re: Walk With GOD While Still Alive by Kobojunkie: 8:06pm On Aug 14, 2020 |
delkuf:Can you please expand on what you are saying there? |
| Re: Walk With GOD While Still Alive by Nobody: 8:12pm On Aug 14, 2020 |
| Re: Walk With GOD While Still Alive by delkuf(m): 8:16pm On Aug 14, 2020 |
Brachaa:My day was good. All thanks to God |
| Re: Walk With GOD While Still Alive by delkuf(m): 8:17pm On Aug 14, 2020 |
Kobojunkie:Explain what. That the Bible is not the same as other book or what |
| Re: Walk With GOD While Still Alive by Kobojunkie: 8:20pm On Aug 14, 2020 |
delkuf:What in the world? If your mind cannot handle that the book is written in human language and is to be comprehended the same way you would any other book written in human language, then fine. That is what I know to be my truth. The point is those who tell you there are special interpretations as far as human language is concerned are liars and decievers all. That said, you asked me to quote the same verses in the King James Version for you to see if the commandments are the same. So, what is your verdict? Did the commandments change or something? |
| Re: Walk With GOD While Still Alive by delkuf(m): 8:26pm On Aug 14, 2020 |
Kobojunkie:Do you want it to be written in arabic before you know that it is not the same as other book. It may be written in human language and by humans, but it is not the same as other books. My verdict is that the Lord Jesus Christ did not bring trouble. King James version said sword. I will not agree that the Lord Jesus Christ brings trouble to the world, no. |
| Re: Walk With GOD While Still Alive by Kobojunkie: 8:26pm On Aug 14, 2020 |
delkuf:So anyone who does not come in Peace, and brings a sword, did not bring trouble? OK. So what about the actual commandments that He stipulated? what about those? |
| Re: Walk With GOD While Still Alive by delkuf(m): 8:28pm On Aug 14, 2020 |
Kobojunkie:Didn't you read my verdict. read again slowly |
| Re: Walk With GOD While Still Alive by Kobojunkie: 8:28pm On Aug 14, 2020 |
delkuf:So anyone who does not come in Peace, and brings a sword, did not bring trouble? OK. So what about the actual commandments that He stipulated? what about those? |
| Re: Walk With GOD While Still Alive by delkuf(m): 8:31pm On Aug 14, 2020 |
Kobojunkie:To me those are not commandment. read deutronomy 28 and see commandment |
| Re: Walk With GOD While Still Alive by Kobojunkie: 8:33pm On Aug 14, 2020 |
delkuf:Ok. So does that also mean you will not obey them since they are not "commandments" in the style represented in Deuteronomy 28? |
| Re: Walk With GOD While Still Alive by delkuf(m): 8:40pm On Aug 14, 2020 |
Kobojunkie:I will obey them. I will always do want the Lord Jesus Christ said |
| Re: Walk With GOD While Still Alive by Kobojunkie: 8:43pm On Aug 14, 2020 |
delkuf:It is always a good idea to look up the dictionary meaning of words you have issues with. com·mand·mentJesus Christ gave us several rules/commandments, and we all know we are called to obey those rules |
| Re: Walk With GOD While Still Alive by Kobojunkie: 4:24pm On Aug 15, 2020 |
delkuf:By the way, I and still expecting you to show scriptural evidence of Jesus Christ or God declaring that by following Jesus Christ, we are made descendantsof Abraham. I am interested in learning where that teaching comes from. |
| Re: Walk With GOD While Still Alive by delkuf(m): 5:11pm On Aug 15, 2020 |
Kobojunkie:Go read gal 3:14/29. Read 29 slowly because I know you will want to jump into conclusion |
| Re: Walk With GOD While Still Alive by Kobojunkie: 5:21pm On Aug 15, 2020 |
delkuf:I asked you where Jesus Christ Himself, the definition of the New Covenant, the Grace of God to us, includes the suggestion that we become of Abraham when we are saved. Or even where God Himself said that His New Covenant will make this so. Any other account means nothing until it is validated against the word of God -the word recorded as being from God Himself. |
