Yet another question inspired by lexiconkabirr's fp thread: Since Muslims believe God gave David the psalms which emphatically admonishes the use of singing and use of musical instruments (even Jesus sang a hymn and God gave Moses a song to teach Israel), why the sudden prohibition of music? Besides, if all music has satan as its source, who then isnpired David? |
Hello bro, apologies for the unsolicited suggestion. We cannot make Him Lord. we can only surrender to Him for Who He is - Lord. Afterall, every knee will one day bow. |
You properly concealed your post. ![]() Anyway to reply your topic: It starts from Genesis where God promised Abraham that: And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.Genesis 22:18 Here, we see that ALL the Earth, not just one, shall be blessed by that Seed. The descendants of Abraham - the Israelites- had a benefit since He came by them but: He came unto his own, and his own received him not John 1:11 These were the lost sheep and majority rejected Him. Infact, God had before revealed that: 1. Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles ' I the Lord have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles;Isaiah 42:1,6 And in accordance with the foregoing, Jesus said: And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. Luke 24:47 Now, why would the 12 and many others in Acts go to preach in various nations if there was no such command? Just before you claim Paul started it remember Peter actually started it when he went to Cornelius' house! Besides, if muslims say Jesus was not crucified, when did He give this command that the disciples lived and died for? Who motivated a band of fearful fishermen who were all too eager to return to their nets to suddenly become fearless preachers even in the face of death? |
OLAADEGBU:There has been too many speculations about American Presidents. For example RONALD WILSON REAGAN was so accused. Some were further deceived by the fact that his 3 names had 6 letters each meaning 666! ![]() It has become too popular such that no speculation in that direction should be taken seriously. Meanwhile, it seems people might just be looking the wrong direction. |
No, he isn't. Similar thing was said about Obama. |
op, first prove that that miracle was fake. Besides, I noticed you said pastors. well, kindly name the one in the video and at least 5 others that have so used toddlers highlighting proofs that were affirmed by others that the miracles by these, were fake. |
Why not give the highlights from the book that buttress your position and perhaps a link to the book or links to the various parts thereof that matter? Reading long posts with a secondary source (and perhaps some points that will be raised have been discussed here already) is not always a welcome assignment. |
Scriptures: 21 And lest, when I come again, my God will humble me among you, and that I shall bewail many which have sinned already, and have not repented of the uncleanness and fornication and lasciviousness which they have committed. 2 Corinth 12:21 Nicolaitan: But, bro Paul, dont you understand grace? Why ask them to repent? Are they not 'permanently saved no matter what they do'? Scriptures: 5 For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. Moderator: Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness. Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. 2 Peter 3:17 Ephesians 5:5,6 Niolaitan: (murmuring) but they cannot fall since they are beloved |
fineboynl:But Simon's wife's mother lay sick of a fever, and anon they tell him of her.Mark 1:30 Who was Simon? |
fineboynl:Now go back and read 1 Corinthians 9:5 and Mark 1:30 |
Drazeen:Since you are not a Christian, then first settle that aspect by believing the Gospel, repentance from sin and cleaving to Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour. |
Lennycool:opinion's yours never mind that it's more of an emotional retort that lacks proofs nor clear refutations of that you quoted. |
An2elect2:why do you think so? |
Well, consider the picture below. That place called Nuwayba' al Muzayyinah which means "Waters of Moses Opening", is a place today, the location of which, historical corroborates that story. The issues of Continental drift and Seafloor spreading can be studied here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seafloor_spreading Implication is that: 1. Genesis records that the Land appeared as a single mass out of the water;Genesis 1:9 2. The water then was described as the great deep when the flood came down in the time of Noah Genesis 7:11 3. Over time, the gradual process of Continental drift and Seafloor spreading began but the depth of the water bodies that separated nations/continents were not as deep as we have them today. Besides, the inflow of the great deep into these other ones would have been gradual. 4. Hence it will be anachronistic to assume that the depth of water bodies today was the same then.

As we closed LinkedIn's acquisition by Microsoft today, I sent the following to our team. Publishing it here on the network for those interested in learning more about where we'll be focusing our integration efforts. For additional context, here is a link to my original post at the time of the initial announcement. Team, Six months ago, we announced our intention to be acquired by Microsoft. At the time, Satya and I shared the background of the deal and our joint vision for changing the way the world works. Today I’m pleased to announce that we’ve just officially closed the acquisition. I’m more confident than ever that our move to join forces with Microsoft will accelerate our mission to connect the world’s professionals to make them more productive and successful, and ultimately help create economic opportunity for every member of the global workforce. Over the past few months, the LinkedIn and Microsoft leadership teams have been meeting to understand and prioritize the opportunities ahead. We’ve been able to see first-hand the level of innovation being driven at scale -- in artificial intelligence, machine learning, the cloud, devices, and more. We’ve also had the chance to build a deeper relationship with Satya and the Microsoft leadership team, and to witness the strategic and cultural shifts they are driving, and the impressive traction they are seeing as a result. As we move forward, our day-to-day operations will essentially remain unchanged: We’ll continue to have the same mission and vision, the same culture and values, the same brand, and the same leadership team. Our members still come first. Our commitment to privacy and security will not change. And our partners are still core to our business. We’ll continue to remain focused on growing LinkedIn and creating value for our members and customers. Over the coming months we’ll start sharing more about how we’re integrating products, especially in areas where we can leverage Microsoft’s scale, e.g., LinkedIn identity and network in Microsoft Outlook and the Office suite LinkedIn notifications within the Windows action center Enabling members drafting résumés in Word to update their profiles, and discover and apply to jobs on LinkedIn Extending the reach of Sponsored Content across Microsoft properties Enterprise LinkedIn Lookup powered by Active Directory and Office 365 LinkedIn Learning available across the Office 365 and Windows ecosystem Developing a business news desk across our content ecosystem and MSN.com Redefining social selling through the combination of Sales Navigator and Dynamics 365 Getting to this point wouldn’t have been possible without the teams who have been working tirelessly on the close since we announced the deal in June. I’d like to thank them for all they’ve done to set us up for success as we begin our next chapter. In so many ways we’re just getting started, and I couldn’t be more excited about the future. Next play. Jeff https://www./linkedin-microsoft-our-next-play-begins-jeff-weiner |
MuttleyLaff:Not when the contexts are considered! John 3:16 speaks of the people, 'whosoever'; 1 John 2 speaks of the 'things' therein |
Scholar8200:In the light of this quote, can someone define what is meant by Christian Liberty? |
To find an answer to your question op, read Stephen's valedictory message in Acts 7. This is the high point: 51 Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye. 52 Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? and they have slain them which shewed before of the coming of the Just One; of whom ye have been now the betrayers and murderers: 53 Who have received the law by the disposition of angels, and have not kept it. Acts 7:51-53 GUESS WHAT THE JEWS DID TO THE SPEAKER! This silences all the lying claims that jew would not kill jew (when even Zechariah was stoned to death by fellow jews) and jew would not hate jews(when Jeremiah was scourged and cast into a well to die by fellow jews) etc |
Now, having observed comments from both sides, can a believer in the house show us how wearing trouser or not relates to this commands: 15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 1 John 2:15,16 17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you 2 Corinth 6:17 From my little understanding (I stand to be patiently corrected), apart from the command in Deut. 22:5, the passages afore quoted were the motivation for those that preached against women in trousers. Another was the fact that these trousers emphasized sensual contours that should be covered and were a temptation to men both in and out of the Church and the command in the NT is that: But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to them that are weak. 10 For if any man see thee which hast knowledge sit at meat in the idol's temple, shall not the conscience of him which is weak be emboldened to eat those things which are offered to idols; 11 And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died? 12 [b]But when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ 1 Corinth 8:9-12 while I was in school, my biology teacher told me that the females have their adipose tissues above their Gluteus maximus hence the bloating of that part because that tissue houses fats. This increased size is a temptation to men and trousers have a way of highlighting this feature. Hence, just as a person may be sincere but wrong, claiming you wear trousers with no intention to seduce may calm your conscience but may still not leave you guiltless. |
Tecnom3:Isaiah 53:6, Zechariah 13:7, Psalm 22, etc and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,Psalm 16:8-10, Isaiah 26: 19, Hosea 6:2 etc and that He appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. After that He appeared to more than five hundred brethren at one time, most of whom remain until now, but some have fallen asleep; then He appeared to James, then to all the apostles; and last of all, as to one untimely born, He appeared to me also.these was not affixed with the clause,'according to the Scriptures' because they were not from thence. |
Kingbuhari:When did the highlighted join your collection of despicable words? Why insult another Nation just because you hate those in the SW of your country? What do you gain attacking another person's country this way? |

hopefulLandlord:The law prescribed what sacrifices God expected of them. At that time, the people did that which they liked (Judges 17:6), not what was commanded.Would God honour that which is extra-scriptural especially when the offeror knows better?NO Did God grant him victory because of that vow? NO! Gideon, Barak etc also got victory sans vows. |
hopefulLandlord:alright |
randomperson:ok |
hopefulLandlord:I know!But in the light of the topic of the thread, did God command the vow that He made? And was it accepted? |
Mary had other biological children after Jesus. 19 But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord's brother. James 1:19 Also corroborated by: Then His mother and His brothers arrived, and standing outside they sent word to Him and called for Him.Mark 3:31 |
4everGod:[color=gold]verbum sapienti satis est brother! [/color] |
In addition to what was said by Kingebuka and 4everGod, there is NO passage in the WHOLE Bible where God commanded what Jephthah pledged hence, if you claim God 'accepted it'(for what you think it is), prove to us that He did. |
foladara777:ok |
hopefulLandlord:much ado about nothing! I never met an atheist who declares his ideas in his heart! And except he says it in public, his heart condition ,as one having disbelief in God, is not known. The passage describes one who has this as a hidden motivation to a life without restraint to the negative. In fact, a careful look at the passage clearly shows that is the condition of all men before an encounter with Jesus Christ. |
chrmn1:Thanks. I was going to say something about society evolving and that the principles prescribed then (in the Bible) still works today in spite of how far society has evolved....In spite of this metamorphosis, in this 21st century, some folks still see the need to have helpers - maids, drivers, cleaners, babysitters etc and the relationship between both parties is symbiotic. I believe we ought to bear this in mind. Abuse is what is condemned both then and now. The Bible speaks of beating slaves but remember it also spoke about beating your child when he deserves it. |
