Kobojunkie:I'm going to ask the big question... WHAT IS SIN? I need your own answer of what sin is. (My prediction to your answers: "Disobeying God" |
Re: What Almost Broke Your Faith In GOD And How You Overcame It? by Kobojunkie: 9:24pm On Mar 14, 2021 |
Offpoint1:I gave the definition of "work" as is used in the Bible. God requires that those who follow Him do work and the work is in obedience to His commandment. |

Offpoint1:Sin is of course disobedience, but of what? Jesus Christ, the Savior, also happens to be the embodiment of the New Covenant, a new agreement between God and Man. This contract/Covenant called Jesus Christ comes with His own sets of commandments(definition for what sin is), blessings, curses, promises, seals, etc. Just as you would find in the Old Covenant but instead Jesus Christ is the Law for the Kingdom of Heaven whereas the Old Covenant was defined as Law as far as the land of Canaan and the descendants of Jacob are concerned. Now, in the New Covenant, there are about 46 commandments we are expected to accept and obey, axioms/propositions which are to be received as established /self-evident truths from the mouth of God Himself. According to Jesus Christ, for one to live above sin, one simply needs to choose to accept and obey His commandments, rather than refuse them in disobedience. As for the details of these commandments, they are found in the teachings of Jesus Christ. Everything Jesus Christ said and did was part of the Law i.e. He was the living embodiment of the Law itself. |

Martinez39s:you really need to study the words you mentions you just dont they one side and be shouting they prayed and have faith without knowing what prayer is all about.what did you know about faith i told you what i deed in my own case with the level of faith i have in the Lord and you are telling me what you think in your head. . pray until something happen have faith as little as the mustard seed and say to that sickness to varnish and it will.they have to act on the level of faith you claim they have to get well.shalom every issue have solution whatever thing God cant solve doesnt exist.the woman with the issue of the blood had to go touch his garment.i have to use the money for my drugs to get healed and never to fall sick again.look out for divine healing it comes from God.so when you want to ask the next question dont ask me from your head knowledge please am tired for today typing |

since I got scammed by a renowned prophet. my faith depreciated. I now see all of them as scammers. I hope God God changes my instincts |
Re: What Almost Broke Your Faith In GOD And How You Overcame It? by Kobojunkie: 9:55pm On Mar 14, 2021 |
chubinwa:God never sent you to any prophets, renowned or not, to begin with. So why do you think God will change your "instincts"? |

Martinez39s:and i said you cant be using head knowledge to get answer to spiritual fact. go and read about what prayer and faith you claim they have means.after that ask any question i will answer you. |

Offpoint1: God might not want you to go to school yet. Learn a skill, or grow your business and become a multi millionaire You forced yourself to school, when you come out looking for jobs and didn’t see one for years. Then you will blame God again. |

catloaded:Don't give up ur Hope! God made personal promises to me in 2012, Can you believe it is this year that those promises have begin to find Expression in my life! Since 2012! I remember when I got angry with Him because the Fulfilment was delaying, it was Crazy back then. I remembered a time He came to "Brag" about His personality in a bid to make me believe and still Trust Him |

Martinez39s: "Prayer is utterly useless" because of an hypothetical poll question? A reasonable comment would have been to answer the poll as a poll and not as a data |

[quote author=Koolyarn post=99879880] Never seen it where eating grass is a sin Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. Gen 1:29 . We are to eat plants as food and herb Humorously, A goat is expected to eat grass ( whatever that means). And Humans are primarily to eat ... The goat [/quote you are very very funny |
Re: What Almost Broke Your Faith In GOD And How You Overcame It? by Firstnebo: 10:30pm On Mar 14, 2021 |
Martinez39s: It still could be reasonable to reason there is God and your number 2 be partially accurate. The first part. Actually that's what the Bible said. That Adam sinned and God let him and his offspring on their own to fend for themselves |

Firstnebo:I don't need a poll to know prayer is utterly useless. Even if a poll supports an idea, it doesn't mean that the idea is true; truth isn't determined by the decision of the majority. I never brought up the issue of a poll. What can prayer actually achieve really? 1 Like |

Firstnebo:According to the bible, the Christian god didn't let mankind fend for themselves without divine intervention and provision to a selected few. •• Didn't you read how He communicated with Cain and Abel? •• Didn't you read about the ten plagues in Egypt and how He freed the Israelites through Moses? Did He not intervention in these situations? Did He leave the Israelites to fend for themselves and allow nature take its course? •• Didn't He send manna and meat from heaven? Do these look like He left them to fend for themselves? Why can world hunger be solved if He has such power? How about the encounter on Mount Sinai? •• What about the prophets and judges he sent throughout the old testament? Does this look like god left mankind to fend for themselves? What about the messiah he sent in Jesus? •• What about the promise of the Holy Spirit to believers? I could go on and on, your explanation that God left mankind to fend for themselves is your own assumption that isn't even supported by the bible. |
Re: What Almost Broke Your Faith In GOD And How You Overcame It? by Firstnebo: 12:14am On Mar 15, 2021 |
Martinez39s: Those instances are not examples of God's intervention. They are instances of him carrying out his purpose of gaining back his rulership of the earth. He didn't "intervene", he "purposed" |
Re: What Almost Broke Your Faith In GOD And How You Overcame It? by Firstnebo: 12:21am On Mar 15, 2021 |
Martinez39s: I don't like to debate with people that are only interested in winning arguments. The whole premise of the Bible is that God created man to be under him but man chose his own way, therefore God let him go and try. Now you say it's my own assumption. If you don't want honest debate, then I am out I am put in this world same as you. It's not my obligation to prove anything to you because I am a Christian. So I don't see why I should suffer to proof that the Bible says A or B |
Re: What Almost Broke Your Faith In GOD And How You Overcame It? by Martinez39s(m): 12:24am On Mar 15, 2021 |
Firstnebo:Oh really? Why doesn't he "purpose" for a terminal cancer patient or an amputee? Why doesn't he "purpose" for starving kids by sending manna and meat from heaven? Perhaps, he could send the angel of death like he did in Egypt to free innocent children from their molesters who leave irreparable trauma in their wake? I rest my case with you. Good night. |
Re: What Almost Broke Your Faith In GOD And How You Overcame It? by Martinez39s(m): 12:30am On Mar 15, 2021 |
Firstnebo:I never said you have to prove yourself. In fact, if you don't want to discuss with me, simply ignore my mention. As a reply to my post, you typed with your own hands that god allowed Adam's offsprings to fend for themselves after Adam's transgression. I showed this to be wrong, you then shifted the goalpost from "intervened" to "purposed". And now you accuse me of trying to win an argument? I rest my case with you. |
Re: What Almost Broke Your Faith In GOD And How You Overcame It? by Firstnebo: 12:32am On Mar 15, 2021 |
Martinez39s: You are not good with philosophy I know you think you are wise. Well to answer your questions: he didn't do those because he is not the ruler of the earth. Since your original father Adam wants us humans to rule ourselves, it should be our duty to find cancer cure, not God's |
Re: What Almost Broke Your Faith In GOD And How You Overcame It? by Firstnebo: 12:34am On Mar 15, 2021 |
Martinez39s: Why do you end with I rest my case with you? If you see no gain or even fun in debating with me then leave it You are too insulting. |

Offpoint1:I think I am in the same boat as you. A lot of christians and muslims are afraid to challenge things and they suffer for it Me from a young age I have always questioned. From the day I saw a pastor selling an audio tape at almost 2000% profit because he sang the songs I knew something was wrong 1 Like |

Re: What Almost Broke Your Faith In GOD And How You Overcame It? by Martinez39s(m): 12:53am On Mar 15, 2021 |
Firstnebo:Hmmmm, confusion raised to the fourth power! Did god not send manna and meat from heaven way after Adam's transgression, heal the sick through his prophets, Jesus, and the apostles? Who was the ruler of the earth when all these things were taking place? Why didn't it leave it as their duty to seek these things themselves? |
