So you perceive yourself as a little kid? And see the jews as wise and unlearned?

Have you cared to research why they reject jesus?
You take those words literally? shocked
Learn about figurative expressions.

Can you explain more on He came with a better way than Judaism, for me the writing word/name know as Judaism was invented in Europe so are you saying that the events that happened in the Bible concerning Christ all happened in Europe, the name/the writing word know as Judaism don't exist in the Bible.
In the beginning,man had a relationship with God.He had no religion.
It was when man sinned and 'fell short of His glory' that religion was given to man to keep in God's ways but no matter how man tried,he still could not please God.
Jesus brought a new testament which established the broken relationship with God and makes man relate with God directly and for God to relate with man.
The Jews had a religion and the religion is what is called Judaism.

(1) But everything was created by God

(2) The Lord God Almighty is the Lord of the Spirits (All spirit's) the Lord Almighty created them all everything.

(3) So explain more on what's makes them not to be the same.
In biology,we say there is plant life,animal life and human life.Even though all were created by God,they are not in the same 'class'.

So you think you know better than the jews than don't believe in him?
In Matthew 11:25,the Bible says,'At that time Jesus said, "I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children.,
Do you what what that Scripture means especially the bolded?
It simply means there are many who will ,'know better than the Jews that don't believe in him'.....to use your words.

If john was actually real and true companion of Jesus like Mathew was.

Why don't Mathew report same statement?

There are tons of verse pointing to the fact that Jesus is not god nor born by god (god son)
How come you turn away from the tons that point to the fact that He is?

Yeah...and they all claimed to be guided by their holy spirit...!!

Me think their holy spirit is confused and a author of confusion...!!
Except you repent,these words you've spoken will judge you.It's a reckless statement and you will pay dearly for it.

The Holy Spirit created the world if you are ignorant about that.

Bros, shine your eyes well well...
That is = meaning....
The son of man who is in heaven came down from heaven to earth..... That's the point.

For example, my brother came down to Nigeria, he is in America. That is,my brother lives in America. But He visited Nigeria.

Shalom.
You're probably a Muslim or an atheist.
How do you compare coming from heaven to the earth with coming from America to Nigeria?
Did you pay attention to the latter part of the statement when He said,... 'who is in heaven'.Do you know the meaning of 'is'?He spoke in present continuous.While on the earth He said He 'is' in heaven not 'was' in heaven!
Learn the Scriptures with an open mind.

All this while nobody complains as long as men are at the receiving end but once tables turn it become a crime against humanity!

See those fvcktards that I quoted up there,they’ve all come online but avoided the thread,imagine!
Same folks that were ranting anyhow in that thread where a female thief was stripped naked.

Shame on you @humanoid and kylekent59
I wanted to give you an explanation until I saw this comment of yours.
Something is definitely wrong with your brain and I can only help you if you desire.

Janosky:
Please don't confuse yourself.
Jesus Christ says God is a spirit, John 4:24.
Did Jesus tell you he is referring to himself?
You're the one who should not get confused and learn Scriptures.
In John 13:13,Jesus said,
No one has ascended to heaven but He who came down from heaven, that is, the Son of Man who is in heaven.
How come Jesus says He's in heaven even as he spoke on the earth?
Learn the word of God with a humble spirit.God will show you many things.

NeoWanZaeed:
So Jesus and god ain't the same thing then.


And did the people who wrote bible said anything about trinity?
They are one and same.
Jesus said,'I and My Father are one'.John 10:30.
The writings of the Scripture point to the Trinity.It is revealed in all the Scriptures.
Christianity EtcRe: Was Jesus A Catholic Or Protestant Or Jehovah Witness? by thorpido(m): 5:14pm On Apr 20, 2020
NeoWanZaeed:
So god is spirit.
Spirit is same as angel
And Jesus is not god.

Am I correct?
God is Spirit.
There are different spirits - there is the Spirit of God,there is the human spirit,the angels and demonic spirits.They are not the same.
Jesus is the Spirit of God.....the Spirit of God is God.

I thought he's said to be god holy spirit and son of god at the same time.

3 in 1.
Trinity.

If he practiced a better way than Judaism. It has no name?
What name do you call the relationship between you and your biological father?It is humans who give names to religion.
What Jesus brought is eternal life,a relationship with the Father and forgiveness of sins.Those who received that life are described as Christians.
Christianity EtcRe: Was Jesus A Catholic Or Protestant Or Jehovah Witness? by thorpido(m): 10:16pm On Apr 19, 2020
He couldn't have been any of the listed above.He was born into Judaism but He came with a better way than Judaism.
He didn't bring another religion but brought a relationship with God and eternal life without which no man can see God.
FamilyRe: My Wife Has Turned My Children Against Me by thorpido(m): 10:11pm On Apr 19, 2020
You might have to involve a third party here.You need to talk to someone she respects .....your pastor or an elder relative.

You should have handled this better while the children were still very young.It's not too late though.

FamilyRe: Parents How Do You Deal With Child Favoritism In The Home by thorpido(m): 10:34am On Apr 13, 2020
Raising children is a conscious thing and not an emotional thing.You have to be intentional with each child.
Children have strengths and weaknesses and you need to harness each child's strength through wisdom.
Consciously give attention to each child especially in developing their strengths and improving their weaknesses.Treat each child as unique.Give them equal chores to do and also when giving gifts,try to be equal.
You must avoid actions that can breed envy.Don't spend all your time on that brilliant child alone.
Ask God for wisdom cause you'll need it.

I wouldn't say this is playing to the gallery.
I think this is deliberate to sensitize people further on the need to stay home and that they can still worship God in their homes instead of a public gathering.

The chores in my house are unending. The issue I have now like always is that I can't seem to get anything right, I am like the bad influence to my younger brother, I can't have opinion about anything, I can't even cook water. I can promise to invite you for a meal and if you agree that I can't cook, I will go for cooking class on me. I get blamed for every kitchen disaster, I get blamed for not having a husband even though it is about religion. I can't even say I am sick because no one believes me. Everyone believes because I have a job, I am trying to be bossy. I have tried to understand why they feel I am proud, researched about it, tried everything, spoken to people, asked for opinions but all I get is that I act manly.

I hardly sleep at night because I cant sleep, awake as late as 2-4am and you expect me to wake by 6am, I resume work at 9am and I never go late, I close by 4/5pm, head to the Lagos Island to package orders for my business and reach home by earliest 8pm. I really feel tired of being a better person for anyone other than myself at this point. Family activities are for bringing out the faults in you, how you did not respond well, how you are acting like a bad child. We have the whole day as we are indoors due to lockdown, why must I follow a schedule when I can freelance? Why must everything be by force?
So sorry I typed too much.
Hmm,this has gone really deep.
Your parents didn't manage this well too while growing up and I don't know why it's both of them.It's one or the other most times.

We can talk more about this if you want.

He cheated a second time and I couldn't take it.
I was immature and didn't know what I wanted.
We wanted different things especially when it came with finances, raising a family, where to settle down etc. He wasn't ready to settle down with me, I really didn't have a close relationship with anyone especially family and friends. I couldn't build relationships because I didn't trust anyone. I really don't think I am proud, may be hard to deal with, and stubborn.
I hardly talk at home but a talkative outside. They believe I snub people but I try to avoid people because I usually go from one wahala to another. From they said, she said, we heard her say to the point where I decide to say only what I can repeat. The fear of being misinterpreted has kept me from building relationships.
You actually can do better than this.You don't have to be on the 'highway' all the time.
In your home now,the major issue I believe will be chores.As long as you are in the home,help out.Take responsibility.
Try to be a part of the family in activities.It doesn't mean you have to agree with them in everything but you can meet them in the middle.
It's to make you a better person for yourself first,your family and the society at large.

Thanks, I actually have a job and we stay apart. However, I went home due to the covid19 lockdown and things haven't changed within us.
They feel I am proud, disobedient and wayward. All I have ever tried to do was please them. I am not perfect, I am stubborn, hard hearted, kind, firm in my decisions and highly opinionated. Abused at 8, psychologically abused from young till now. Thanks for your comment
I really don't know you enough to say this but a part of me thinks this opinion of you by them isn't too far from the truth.I feel you chose to be rebellious for some reason that may be your parents' fault while you were growing up but that has ruined your relationship with them.

It's good also you admit being stubborn and hard hearted.Has this nature helped you in your relationships with other people apart from your parents?
Why did your relationship with your boyfriend end?

I think you can be a better person than you are presently.No one is perfect but I feel you can build better relationships.......with your parents and others.

'Some mothers do have them.....' but some children also do have them.
Op,no matter how bad you may think your parents are,there is a way around it rather than thinking of disowning them.
We don't know your story except you spill it but still don't make a rash decision.
