Faith is knowledge which You Act on or with, but people keep saying and defining or redefining it with many words and no Practical Use or Beneficial Use!

What is the difference between faith in Jesus and faith in incredible hulk?

It is just a fancy word for ignorance...

Emperor Julian..


"It is, I think, expedient to set forth to all mankind the reasons by which I was convinced that the fabrication of the Galilaeans is a fiction of men composed by wickedness. Though it has in it nothing divine, by making full use of that part of the soul which loves fable and is childish and foolish, it has induced men to believe that the monstrous tale is truth. "

Is A True Prophet not Appointed by God Himself? Genesis 20:7

Is a Prophet not also one who hears from God? Genesis 15:13-15.

Is a Prophet not also one who speaks with God? Genesis 17: 3-22

Is a Prophet not one who speaks and God Confirms his word? Genesis 20:17

But we know that you are a Hater of God and you really do not have any business here, so get out of this thread and go to your own people's thread!

You are really not well at all

Simple Instruction, A Father says "I am surprised you children love to do wickedness, do you not know, it is you who shall receive it and bear it?

If you want to receive good, should you not give it, so that it can return again to you?

You give wickedness and yet you bitterly lament when the wickedness you gave returneth to you"

Our greatest gift..

Ofcourse knowledge of God.

No doubt about that. As humans we are equipped with the five senses to know. It is with these senses that we know about nature. Nature is the closest knowledge about God.

Believe on the other hand is the complete opposite. You dont require senses to believe. You swallow everything you are told hook line and sinker.

Believing defies the working of the human mind and body. The body doesn't work by believing, rather it works through senses.

Wait oo. How come you are against trump?

A lot of trumptards are normally like you. People who believe rubbish, people who have sold their brain to the white man.
What makes you not support Trump?

Lol.. You come across as what we call "anywhere Belle face"... In Street football those days.. His analysis is not for feeble minds

Somehow I am lost in this whole discussion

We are still looking for what is more valuable.. Knowledge of God or believe in God...

budaatum:
That's one way to see it. Another might be, they were used by their imagination or by their God.

You'll have to enter their mind to be certain.

Lol, I don't really care about that.. More concerned with what I am taking from the story..

This, is precisely what we should try to figure out when reading.

One day I was having a shower when the showerhead said "buda, you are a perfectionist". I looked at the showerhead and said, "Bullocks! I have never done anything perfectly in my entire life!" Showerhead said, "Exactly". Took me days to realise I had been arguing with a showerhead. It took a few years for me to realise I had been lectured by the showerhead that perfectionists do nothing because they are never perfect enough. And then I started doing.

I visited a library one day, looking for something to read having grown tired of fiction, when I heard a voice on the other side of the shelf by which I stood say, "I am the Lord thy God. Thou shalt not have any other God before me". So I went round the shelf to see who spoke, but no one was there. In fact, no one else was on the floor of the library, it being the boring philosophy, psychology and history section on the third floor and no lift! I blamed it on the fact that I had not eaten all day and hunger was making me hallucinate, after all, I was an atheist at the time, God what? But I really was standing before my God which was books, as in Words, I much later worked out.

We never fully understand our own experiences, is my point, so might struggle some to understand the experiences of others especially if we read literally and are not willing to try to understand what exactly might be meant.

So we have been on the same side... :I have always maintained the stories are not literal.. But allegory. Meant to teach us certain truths about life...

Person I responded to got my meaning.

I was following the discussion.. So I wanted to be sure..

They where using their imaginations.. Or did I miss it?

Looks like a death cult to me... I will pass

The author of "The Book of Enoch" can be debated but that is not my focus. My focus is on the facts on the accounts in the book. The Sumerian text (Anunnaki accounts), The Book of Enoch and The Bible have similar accounts of events.

The Sumerian texts precedes them both, which makes the accounts of the Sumerian texts more superior and accurate than the Bible.

But all these books in total, don't reverence the True God. We have all been misled.

Lol.. You have not quite understood what you are reading.. I will advice you to watch some video by Enki35 productions on YouTube..

She is a good researcher..

Dtruthspeaker:
When you learnt that you could die by various means and ways, did you Truthfully restrict it to physical things alone, especially being a kid born in Nigeria?

When the Bible spoke of salvation, it is always from physical danger.. When David wrote those psalms, he was running from Saul, who was hell bent on killing him...

There is no such thing as spiritual danger..

If Moses or Paul had pointed to what they saw and said "see God, or Jesus", those they said it to would have asked where they got their dope from.

I think what you may have seen is what God might have wanted you to see since God does not exactly appear the same way to everyone.

What do you mean?.. So what where they writing about..

Powerful stories, by virtue of the fact that they are drummed into you long before you develop the ability to think and reason for yourself. And like the hardware that most are, you dare not deviate from the program installed in you.

Did you not hear that Abraham was a Prophet?

Lol... Very funny.. Just like captain America was a real American soldier..

truespeak:
Amos 3 already tells you Everything Began in Egypt!

The Lord does nothing without first revealing it to his servant, the prophet..

Which prophet prophesied that the Messiah was coming to die for sins? Who did God reveal the Jesus story to?

truespeak:
Continued!

Then in Line with His Words in Jeremiah, Isreal is now at "Rest" as He said, But Another Plan and Move has been put in Effect for them But The Law or Covenant Has Not Changed, Only God has Changed How He shall Respond to Them today, which is what you are calling New Covenant.

For where God said He Shall Deliver Them to the hands of all their enemies, which was done and his Law is fulfilled, He has rather Chosen To Respond in Another Way, One of which was the Submission of Christ to the Cross.

But there are many other moves He has made, and Has Been Making and He shall make, but they are not clearly spelt out as before, but the Righteous See these things and have observed some of them.

In light of Amos 3 :7.. Who did he tell about this plan?

I really want to understand why you people keep insisting this was God's plan?

truespeak:
I saw the First man Reported to have Done it and I sought to understand why.

And it was Only after I understood the Man, that I understood why.

And all that he did with his Heart and Act was the very same as Abel did, with the introduction of the word "tithes of all" Being inserted.

I prefer to Watch the Acts and Hearts of Righteous Men than the words of A People Who Continually Failed to Follow God and Walk in the Ways God had laid before them.

God swore never to abandon them, no matter their actions...

Please desist from being specious because as a matter of fact, I not only have all these books in my e-library but I actually have, at one time or the other, read each and/or all the books

You might find errors in Bible translations, but no, there are no factual errors in or with the original Aramaic and Greek texts

Tithe is not a Tax, even though they resemble each other.

Tax is a wicked Creation of men, but Tithe is Something Else, That is Good, and Good Children are already doing it.

And like Christ Asked Peter "who are the people that pay taxes, is it the Children of the House or Strangers?"

That question should give you an idea of what God Has in His Heart!

It would be nice to understand from where it originated from

This is what Jesus also said



Well, yes, something was wrong, and God decided a need for a new one.

Did God lie in JEREMIAH 31?

Did God again lie in Ezekiel 36?

Concerning jerimiah 31,
Thank you for raising your important issue. Before I begin, I would just like to note that Christian and Jewish Bibles number the verses of Jeremiah 31 differently. The Christian Bible begins Chapter 31 one verse earlier than the Torah, beginning with what in the Torah is the final verse of Ch. 30. Thus, when Christians raise the issue of the New Covenant of Jeremiah 31:31, they are speaking of what to us is 31:30. Below I will follow the Jewish numbering.

Jeremiah (11:10), as well as Ezekiel (16:59) do say that as a nation, Israel broke its covenant with God. But the Torah clearly states that even so, God held firm in His relationship with us, renewing it in spite of Israel’s failings. Although Ezekiel 16:59 states that God will deal as harshly with us as we did with Him, verse 60 concludes: “I will remember My covenant with you of the days of your youth, and I will establish it for you as an everlasting covenant.”

A similar theme appears in Leviticus 26. God enumerates terrible punishments He will inflict upon Israel for breaking His Torah, including annulling His covenant (v. 15). Yet at the end of the chapter (vv. 44-45), He promises:

“And even with this, when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not be disgusted with them, nor will I abhor them to destroy them and break My covenant with them, for I am the Lord their God. And I will remember the covenant with the first ones, whom I took out of the Land of Egypt before the eyes of the nations, to be a God for them. I am the Lord.”

This in fact is a recurring theme throughout the Prophets – that in spite of Israel’s lapses, God will never let go of us nor allow us to lose sight of our cosmic mission. See especially Ezekiel 20:32-37, as well as Isaiah 54:8-10, Psalms 105:8-10 and Genesis 17:7.

Jeremiah 31:30 follows this same pattern. Although it does state that God will create a new covenant, it clearly states that it will be with the House of Israel and the House of Judah. It further continues that as part of the covenant God would place His Torah upon our hearts (v. 32). Thus, even though we had broken our original covenant with God, He will create a newer stronger one in its place – but still with Israel and again commanding us to observe His Torah. The new covenant did not abrogate the original one to keep the Torah nor was it directed towards all the nations. As vv. 34-35 continue, Israel will continue to be God’s nation so long as the sun shines, the moon rises, and the surf breaks upon the coast.

In addition, as is clear from the verses, this renewal of the covenant will be with both the houses of Judah and Israel (i.e., with both the southern kingdom of Judah and the northern kingdom of the Ten Tribes). This clearly did not occur in Jesus’s time, when the Ten Tribes had already been dispersed. Jeremiah also states that at the time of this renewal, there will be universal knowledge of God (“for they will all know Me” (v. 33)). This too did not occur in Jesus’s day but is rather a reference to the End of Days.

truespeak:
Christ did not abolish nor amend the Law, meaning that the Law continues to Operate and in fact to clear all doubts and foreknowing that people like you shall surely arise, He Expressly and Clearly and unequivocally stated that "no jot, or comma or full stop or tittle, or letter of the Law shall Pass Away (even though people wish it would) but Must All Be Fully Filled" (to the last drop).

And again, "Heaven and Earth shall pass away but my Word (including this very word above) shall Never Never Pass Away!

So there is no new law but rather the same law expounded and explained for all to men to understand in detail!

God bless your soul.. They don't know by saying new, they are accusing God of mistake...
I pity them..
The new convenant was a renewal of the convenant at Sinai... It was a convenant of everlasting peace... It has not happened because the world, is still at war. Isaiah captured it when he said "they will beat their sword into ploughshares... And they shall learn of war no more" the Messiah was supposed to usher in the era of peace in his first attempt.. No mention of second coming..

In the case of tithes, the Israelites practiced theocracy. God was their king and tithe was a form of tax.. 10% of your harvest. Which the leviites where commanded to collect for maintaining the temple and caring for the less privileged in the society... But Nigeria is a democracy.. We are expected to pay our tax to the government.. Joshua chapter 1and 2

Those paying tithe to pastors should be arrested for tax eversion and the pastors collecting should be arrested for fraud..

WINNERSMOG:
No sir. If you obey God’s commandments He will bless you!

So when he says "I am the Lord you God who brought you out of the land of Egypt and out of the house of bandage, you shall have no other God BEFORE me"...

Why should I put an intermediary before him? Or when he says
" you shall not make for yourself the image or likeness of anything in heaven, on earth or under the waters below the earth, you shall not bow down to them or serve them "
Don't you think if I worship the likeness of a man, which is something found on earth, he will punish me?

So why should I?
