ifeness: Christianity is meant for dull people.

ifeness: which god are you talking about? Is the the god of the Jews? He only love the Jews which you are not. Do not be fooled,the bible is not meant for you.

ifeness: you are busy looking for evidence. Ok tell me what this God looks like and how he has helped you recently?

And Atheist is someone with functioning brain cells

Goshen360: Lemme ask you a question as I'm about to sleep now. Do you think everything written in the bible is for Christian application today?

Logicboy03: Thanks a lot.

Unfortunately, I find arguments for christianity unconvincing. It would be better if you addressed any of the 10 points I raised

swtchicgurl: Logicboy03,

Are you sure that you are an atheist? What you said that "Christianity is Irrational" is one of the deepest truths about Christianity.

I must say I'm impressed that you discovered this: Christianity is Irrational!!! Some christians don't even know this!!!

WOW!!! Glory be to God Almighty!

It is the will of God that Christianity is Irrational. Look here:

John 3:8



Luke 1:37



Isaiah 55:8-9



The life of a Christian is a life of wonder, one that cannot be easily understood. because you're different from the others. Remember, the life of Christ was a big headache for many during His time on earth, they just couldn't fathom the kind of wisdom He carried and the lifestyle he had. Including, performing jaw-dropping miracles!!!

The fact that you opened this thread confirms to me that God loves you so much that He revealed a deep secret to you. Yes, you, He loves you so much! He will normally reveal this kind of information to those that He loves and has a plan for.

Congratulations, Logicboy03, you're a lot closer to being a christian that ever. Please don't stop studying the Bible!

God bless you dearly.

The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.

For with God nothing shall be impossible

For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways,”
declares the Lord.
9 “As the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways
and my thoughts than your thoughts.

Goshen360: How else do I involve him when he lives in me? I ask him questions and so, we both relate the context and from word meanings, I follow the context and questions asked. Then, I learn from the great teacher. The Holy Spirit have nothing to teach except on the platform of what is written and you have to study what is written, ask questions and he teaches, you learn.

My advice to you, flush all religious teachings and interpretation out of your Christian life and sit yourself down with the Holy Spirit for sometime, you will come out a new and different person.

Mark Miwerds: The tithers claim the tithe has not been abolished. If what they claim is true, they run into some serious obstacles...

You see, according to the Word of God,

a) the children of Israel were required to pay God's Holy tithe, not Gentiles (Leviticus 27)
b) God's Holy tithe was to be given to the Levites, not pastors living in other countries (Numbers 18)
c) the tithe was crops and livestock, not money (Leviticus 27)
d) there were two tithes a year (not 26, not 52) every 1st, 2nd, 4th & 5th year in a seven year cycle (Leviticus 27; Deuteronomy 14)
e) there were three tithes every 3rd & 6th year (Leviticus 27; Deuteronomy 14)
f) only the Levites could bring tithes to the Temple storehouse (Nehemiah 10)
g) The feast tithe was to be eaten by the tither, his family, and the Levites in the place God chose (Deuteronomy 14)
h) the poor tithe was kept on the tither's property to feed widows, orphans, Levites, and refugees (Deuteronomy 14)
i) those who received God's Holy tithe could not own land.
j) every seventh year in a seven year cycle, the land was to rest. this means no harvesting, nor planting. no land tithe was possible.
k) The poor were not required to tithe, but rather were to recieve tithes (Deuteronomy 12; 14)

It is clear that this tithe they say was not abolished, is not observed by them. Why is that? Why is the tithe they teach contrary to the tithe that God ordained and they say was never done away with?

Goshen360: ^ That 'letter that kills' in that verse is not interpretation by what is written, it is talking about the mosaic law that kills or lead to death.

Follow the context and also read other translations. Again, religious quoting of scriptures does no good other than confusion.

Goshen360: I do not and have not reached a stage where I can no longer grow in grace and the word of God. However, my labour in the word is what I share. There's no usefulness in having a mind when such mind is closed, not open to renewal and change.

There is, what I found out in Christianity - religious interpretation and traditions of men. These, I have broken away from having laboured in the word. You don't have to take what I teach as truth UNTIL you go back like the Bereans verified Paul's teaching to see if it's true. Do same and also don't attempt to hold on to what you have been taught in ages. I call you to begin to prove all things by rigorous study and hold to what is truth.

I will begin some series of teachings soon and we shall fellowship together. The word of God is heavy and I'm loving it.

Are we beginning to commend ourselves again? Or do we need, like some people, letters of recommendation to you or from you? You yourselves are our letter, written on our hearts, known and read by everyone. You show that you are a letter from Christ, the result of our ministry, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.

Such confidence we have through Christ before God. Not that we are competent in ourselves to claim anything for ourselves, but our competence comes from God. He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant—not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.

Na Laugh: still in progress...

Alwaystrue: @Bidam,
All questions had been answered already in the link:

You should have realised that constantly repeating such questions shows a closed mind.

And He looked up and saw the rich putting their gifts into the treasury, 2 and He saw also a certain poor widow putting in two mites. 3 So He said, “Truly I say to you that this poor widow has put in more than all; 4 for all these out of their abundance have put in offerings for God,[a] but she out of her poverty put in all the livelihood that she had.”

Bidam: Since this one dey hard you..go back and read the beatitudes in MATHEW 6:1-4 AND TELL ME WHAT CHRIST IS TELLING YOU THERE

femi4: Many happy returns

idumuose: @Noblefada talked about dwelling place as the meaning
of the greek word mansion.Paul made reference to this
somewhere in corinthians.Perhaps a comparison between
the sermon Jesus preached with that of Paul will unveil the
truth.

Let not your levavot be troubled [14:27]. You have emunah (faith) in Hashem. Also in me have emunah (faith). [SHEMOT 14:21; TEHILLIM 4:5]

2 In the Beis Avi there are many me’onot (dwelling places, permanent residences, homes, cf 14:23); if it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a makom (place) for you?

You must not eat in your own towns the tithe of your grain and new wine and olive oil, or the firstborn of your herds and flocks, or whatever you have vowed to give, or your freewill offerings or special gifts. 18 Instead, you are to eat them in the presence of the Lord your God at the place the Lord your God will choose—you, your sons and daughters, your male and female servants, and the Levites from your towns—and you are to rejoice before the Lord your God in everything you put your hand to. 19 Be careful not to neglect the Levites as long as you live in your land

Be sure to set aside a tenth of all that your fields produce each year. 23 Eat the tithe of your grain, new wine and olive oil, and the firstborn of your herds and flocks in the presence of the Lord your God at the place he will choose as a dwelling for his Name, so that you may learn to revere the Lord your God always. 24 But if that place is too distant and you have been blessed by the Lord your God and cannot carry your tithe (because the place where the Lord will choose to put his Name is so far away), 25 then exchange your tithe for silver, and take the silver with you and go to the place the Lord your God will choose. 26 Use the silver to buy whatever you like: cattle, sheep, wine or other fermented drink, or anything you wish. Then you and your household shall eat there in the presence of the Lord your God and rejoice. 27 And do not neglect the Levites living in your towns, for they have no allotment or inheritance of their own.
28 At the end of every three years, bring all the tithes of that year’s produce and store it in your towns, 29 so that the Levites (who have no allotment or inheritance of their own) and the foreigners, the fatherless and the widows who live in your towns may come and eat and be satisfied, and so that the Lord your God may bless you in all the work of your hands.

Goshen360: There's no physical mansion with compartments in heaven as some erroneously teach\believe.

The conversation in John 14 is like when Jesus was talking to Nichodemus and later explained what it means to be born again to him. You have to either use the Greek concordance to decode the words in context and\or wear the new testament lens to understand what Christ was saying.

Study the words in Greek and with the words, unveiled by Apostle Paul, you understand the mansion Christ is preparing is the believer so that s\he can wear an abiding place in God's presence and fit for where Christ is now (heaven) so the believer also can be there.

I might continue this discussion as it progresses.

Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.

Do not let your hearts be troubled (distressed, agitated). You believe in and adhere to and trust in and rely on God; believe in and adhere to and trust in and rely also on Me.

2 In My Father’s house there are many dwelling places (homes). If it were not so, I would have told you; for I am going away to prepare a place for you.

Let not your hearts be troubled; believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father’s house are[b] many rooms; if it were not so, would I have told you[/b] that I go to prepare a place for you?

Don’t let this throw you. You trust God, don’t you? Trust me. There is plenty of[b] room for you in my Father’s home[/b]. If that weren’t so, would I have told you that I’m on my way to get a room ready for you?

Brokenness as a trait, finds context in the disposition of an individual to God’s will and commands. It defines a crucial characteristic of a Christian who is aware of his sinful status, is repentant and positively sensitive to the creator’s magnanimity in forgiving sins and constantly offering the sinner, opportunities to make amends.

Absolute faith and trust in God, a deep reverence for His personality, and a truly contrite heart are essential precursors to developing a broken, spiritually mature spirit.

Scripture provides litany accounts of men and women who have positively affected Christendom and mankind by their humble submissions to God’s plans, His designs and instructions, regardless of the challenges such a disposition inspires.

It takes a broken spirit, a humble heart, to forge any meaningful bond with the Creator. As David the Psalmist declares, “the Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” (Psa. 68: 18).
