Christianity EtcRe: (law) Levites Have Commandment To Receive Tithe, Pastors Tday Were Not Commanded by truthislight: 10:25pm On Nov 15, 2013
Gombs: hello Goshen, i dont distribute the rest 90% because it is free willed...if i like i will, it is my choice to give it out, it was Abraham's choice to give his out, me i might decide to give mine out, simple thought



yeah, he was blessed by God before the tithe, question is who taught him about tithing? now, that is what i call a man of faith. same as Drummerboy can not tell me who taught Abel how to give an offering, and how he did it in faith. it is surely not a coincidence that he gave tithe to a high priest as Melchizedek and 400years later, Moses adopted tithing too.

Abraham was already a blessed man before he met Melchizedek, go and study.

heb 7v6 But this person who has not their Levitical ancestry received tithes from Abraham [himself] and blessed him who possessed the promises [of God].

He met a man who did something significant (go study it too), bringing bread and wine for their nourishment, Why? the bible said because he was a priest and that the lesser is blessed of the greater, what then made Melchizedek greater?...and Abraham did something, in faith (because that man did all he did in faith) he gave a tenth, not 90%, not 50%, but 10%... question is,

why did the bible pluralize the tithe Abraham gave..

Hebrews 7

8 Furthermore, here [in the Levitical priesthood] tithes are received by men who are subject to death; while there [in the case of Melchizedek], [size=16pt]they are received[/size] by one of whom it is testified that he lives [perpetually].


since Abraham was the only one who physically tithed to Melchizedek, why didnt the bible use IT WAS?
let me give you a clue
Heb 7

12 For when there is a change in the priesthood, there is of necessity an alteration of the law [concerning the priesthood] as well.


it is pluralized because from above verse, there was a change in the law that said only Levites could be priests. Jesus is a priest from Judah (confirming the change in the law that said ONLY levites could be priests), and Jesus is of the same order of priesthood as Melchizedek who received tithes, meaning ALL who are Christ's, those same folks are Abraham's offspring AND spiritual heirs according to what? according to the promise (Gal 3v29), when they pay their tithes, it goes to that order of priesthood Abraham tithed to, which is forever. that is why tithes and offerings are eternal principle. that is why Abraham's tithing was pluralized


now, i didnt write the above to convince you, i wrote it for viewers of this page. u will probably never pay tithes, and i will never stop tithing, so let us leave it at that, and let those who need to learn to learn. to choose what road they wanna thread.

thanks.
Enough with those ^ lies.

Verse 8 says : "there (livites) men that dies" received tithes, but here, the person lives (does not die).

Are you then telling us that men that dies still receives tithes today ? Impossible !

It is unless you are a criminal for you not to see that impossibility, that men that dies cannot receive tithes again, man that dies only receives tithes in liviticle priest hood.

If you dont understand, it will be good to ask, you are not interested in the truth, but to deceive and cheat in the Name of God.

I pitty for your life.

Gombs: I don't intend to argue....
Now drop that ^ deceitful tactics, if you "dont intend to argure" and defend your lies, then keep quite! else, answer questions !

What with the lies ? How can you post stuff and keep on saying that rut here ?

Is God's dealing with humans befor christ the same with God's dealings with humans after christ have came and died for us ?

What with Abel, Noah, Jacob etc to do with us leaving in the new convanant that brought us Gentiles into a reletionship with Yahweh ?
Are you nuts ?

Befor christ, God accepted those things, but after christ, he does not need such as a basis to relate with humans and bless them except christ ramsom sacrifice.

Why then do you pray in Jesus name and not you money ?

If your money and stuff was that important in getting God's attention, why did you not get it without christ blood ?

You most be nut for letting greed make you to come here and attempt to make the undeserved kindness of God to us seem of no significance.

Since christ blood cannot make a relationship possible for you with christ death, may your money make it possible for you hence forth, and christ blood secondary in your case, may you use your money to uptain God's blessing for the rest of your life since you came out to tell others that it is the only way to get a blessing from God, that should ever be your lot.

Gombs: What part of THE MAN DID ALL THINGS IN FAITH you didnt understand? hey, i am not here to convince you, im just here because of the viewers of this page...they can pick the truth for themselves.



not interested in discussing mal 2...



mal 3 fulfilled and revealed by Peter by the help of the Holyspirit



wrong...they are the new creation folks



God has laid down principles, faith is not what u use to get stuffs from God, it is what u use to please God..the only thing u could use. if you follow his laid down principle for something in faith, you will surely get that thing. for example, there are many ball games, if u want to prosper and be rich, u gotta find out what the bible said about financial prosperity. like i said there are many ball games, you cant use volleyball rules for football, nor can u use basketball rules for tennis... folllow his principle and you shall have what that principle says...if u want salvation, he has a principle on how u can get it...u have to follow that principle, else forget it



refer to my above posts

and for clarity sake, i dont intend to argue...i know you ae convinced on ur stand, and i am, i can never stop tithing, and you probably never will tithe..let us just leave it at that, and let the viewers of this page decide on which part the wanna thread.

and hey, tithing is not a weightier matter in Christianity..you guys make it look like it is all and all in tithing Churches
So, the christian way is all about the sacrifices in the OT abi ?

Smh for deceit.
Christianity EtcRe: (law) Levites Have Commandment To Receive Tithe, Pastors Tday Were Not Commanded by truthislight: 7:17pm On Nov 15, 2013
ajayikayod: Tithes? Not according to d scripture Bro,

Animals sacrifices pre-date d law too, infact pre-date Abraham. Was performed by Abel, Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, Prophets, was performed for Child Jesus.

If d reason u pay tithe is becos its eternal principle and pre-date d Law, why dont u offer animal sacrifices too? We kno God accepted dt too from many. Apostles never mentioned not to do it also.


Its better we thread cautiously not to be entangled again by dt which Christ has made us free.
Hehehehe. That ^, forget @Joedolar, he is all about the money not truth.

Anything money is all he wants.
Christianity EtcRe: (law) Levites Have Commandment To Receive Tithe, Pastors Tday Were Not Commanded by truthislight: 7:12pm On Nov 15, 2013
Joagbaje: Tithes and offerings are eternal principles . They existed before the levitical priest hood.
The kindom of God has many principles. Tithes , offering , alms giving ,fasting , prayer , worship etc. these principles had been there before the law or levitical priesthood.

Christians are not tithing just because the law say so. But rather because it's a principle . If you don't believe in tithing you should not believe in offerings also. Let's worship God with empty hand.
Where and which scriptures did you get this your "tithe is eternal princoples" doctrins from ?

Can you see that the necessary laws for christians are being repeated in the NT ?

Why is it that after you threathen people with Malachi 3 finished in your churches, you come here to lie about tithes being eternal principles ?

Is this your "tithe is eternal principles" not based on the christian manual ? Then, why preach it to christians ?

The NT said that in the former covanant, it was 'men that dies' that collect tithes, are you saying in the new covanant, men that dies still collects tithes ?
Christianity EtcRe: @ JMAN05, Please Defend Jehovah's Witnesses Doctrines Here. by truthislight:
@Italo

You have certain beliefs that is preventing you from seeying one basic truth, that the act of Going to heaven has not always been available befor the coming of Jesus christ,

infact, the act of Going to heaven is a new thing in Gods arrangement. Do you think that those that died befor Jesus death went to heaven ? No, they did not, the way to heaven was open by Jesus.

Infact, he promised it first to his disciples, that he has to first go and prepare a place for them.

If there was already a place for humans, why did he has to go first to "prepare a place" ?

Now, read this scriptures concerning Jesus statement in relation to his father and resurrection/judgement:

"Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise. For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel. For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will. For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son: That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live. For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself; And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man. " (John 5:19-27).
...................................

Now, lets look into what you wrote below in the light of the scriptures above.

italo: You say Yahweh resurrected Jesus. Jesus says he would resurrect himself (Jonn 2:18, 19)
you need to get the sense of that ^ scripture.
Read the below my friend:

"Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know: Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain: Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it." (Acts 2:22-24).

It was God that resurrected Jesus.

italo: You say that Jesus resurrects everyone else. But God raises other people:
it is like you did not understand what i had posted befor, i had said to "immortal heavenly life", all those resurrected people did not go to heaven, as such, there is a big difference between Jesus resurrection to heavenly life and their own resurrection.
Jesus kind of resurrection was something special and unique. No human have ever experience such befor > immortal heavenly resurrection.

italo: 1 Cor 15:38 - But God giveth it a body as he will: and to every seed its proper body.
what Jesus did was Yahweh's, since Jesus is Yahweh's representative. He is a messenger of Yahweh.

italo: Acts 24:15 - Having hope in God, which these also themselves look for, that there shall be a resurrection of the just and unjust.
all other heavenly resurrection is done by Jesus.


italo: 1 Sam 2:6 - The Lord killeth and maketh alive, he bringeth down to hell and bringeth back again.
none of the dead befor Jesus death went to heaven/immotality. So, it is not the same, Jesus is the first of its kind, and the last to be so resurrected.


italo: I hope it is clear to you that your explanation is massively flawed.
Hehehehe, cool down grin
you did not understand what i had written.


italo: God is the first and the last.
Yahweh is not the first from the dead and had no need to be resurrected.


italo: Jesus is the first and the last.
Yes, first from the dead-colossians 2:18.
The last to be so resurrected to heavenly life by Yahweh to Immortal heavenly life.


italo: Jesus is God, not Archangel Michael, as you say!
Hehehe, jesus is a messanger of Yahweh.

I keep on telling you to cool down, cool down, you will not agree, so, cool down.
Christianity EtcRe: @ JMAN05, Please Defend Jehovah's Witnesses Doctrines Here. by truthislight:
italo: Keep deceiving yourself.



God--Is 44:6, 7: I am the first and I am the last;
besides me there is no god.
7 Who is like me? Let them proclaim it,
let them declare and set it forth before me.

Jesus--Rev 1:17 I am the first and the last.
"And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence."
(Colossians 1:18).

Jesus is the first from the dead that Yahweh personally resurected to imortal heavenly life by himself and the last to be so resurrected by Yahweh personally, every other subsequent resurection will be done by Jesus christ.

That ^ is how Jesus is the first and the last.
Christianity EtcRe: Sixth And Seventh Books Of Moses - The Power Source For Our Miracle Pastors by truthislight: 4:00pm On Nov 12, 2013
ajayikayod: Mr, the Church Christ founded is a Miracle Church and i m a proud member of d Body. So if u point finger to pastors to use other means, i m not questioning u, i only asked for evidence to show. But till now u hav non. So why discuss wat u dont even understand or seen b4.
The same Jesus said this about people using his name:

"Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity." (Matthew 7:22-23).
.................

And apostle paul said this:

"Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all powerful works and signs and lying wonders," (2 Thessalonians 2:9).

So, you may just not be in a save hands.

Christianity EtcRe: Sixth And Seventh Books Of Moses - The Power Source For Our Miracle Pastors by truthislight: 3:05pm On Nov 12, 2013
Black Peni5: Funny boy...Even Acidiosis who you were attacking said and I quote "The book is demonic" besides, he is not the only one saying it....Clearly you done have a point of view and you have nothing to contribute.
Also, No pastor will be stupid enough to make a video of himself conjuring powers from a book when it will destroy the impression he's creating for his congregation...Thus your request for a video is Silly to say the least.



My brother, you did not answer my question...its either you did not understand the question or you are afraid of the answer. In either case, I think its better you keep quiet. I did not write the article on wikipedia. I did not write the seventh book of Moses...If these books written by a prophet of God are occultic then who has the justification to tell me that the other parts of the Bible are not.

What defines a man is not the source of his Power but what he chooses to use it for. If I chose to join the occult world, that would be between me and God, not you.

Now If anyone has anything logical to say, it is welcome...But keep all your religious sentiments to yourselves.
i dont think biblical prophet moses wrote this seven books of moses.
Christianity EtcRe: Sixth And Seventh Books Of Moses - The Power Source For Our Miracle Pastors by truthislight: 3:02pm On Nov 12, 2013
ajayikayod: I only asked for just one name/clips not all d video in d whole world. If he cant provide one then i wonder how he got such claim.
This is one of the most illogical demands i have red on NL, just as an atheist question is considered illogical when he asks you to proof God physically to him, you are asking that he shows you a video of what people do in exclusive privacy and secrecy!

Why not as well ask him to show you pictures of this people sleeping with their wifes inside their rooms ? No ? Why ? Whats the difference ? Dont they do this incantation in secret places as well ?

It is either you are guilty or you have something to hide to be asking such question.

Next you will ask him to give you a picture of you sleeping with a woman in your room though their are evidence that you walked in with a woman that is your sex mate.
Stop being silly, he is free to express himself on this forum.

It is either you tell him that the book dont have such powers or it does, if it does, why will you find it hard to believe that people make use of it ? Did the bible not talk about false prophet with powerfull works and miracles in Jesus name ?

Smh for liars and deceitfull people that will want to cover the truth with a basin.

Christianity EtcRe: @ JMAN05, Please Defend Jehovah's Witnesses Doctrines Here. by truthislight: 9:08am On Nov 12, 2013
italo: What I am saying is not that they arent different persons. We who say Jesus is God know that.

What I am saying is that they also the same person. Do you understand that?

That is why Jesus would speak as the Father so many times in scripture.

Look at the passage and tell me when Jesus started speaking. When, according to you, the Father started speaking in v6, John said "and he said to me," indicating either another speaker had taken over from the angel or the angel was giving another set of revelations.

When, according to you, Jesus entered the conversation v16, there is no such thing. John simply goes, "I Jesus." So did Jesus badge in on the Father? Of course not. It is the same person that has been speaking all along. That why he emphasizes it by saying the same things as the Father and as the son all over scripture. That's why I referenced Rev 22:6 and Rev 1:1. They are saying essentially the same thing and its Jesus speaking in Rev 1:1. Then look at the end when John says: "Amen, Lord Jesus, come quickly. Why doesnt he say that to the Father? In fact he did! Jesus is the same as the Father.

Just look at Rev 1:8 too. Jesus is the one making the revelation to John so who speaks in v8. If it is someone other than Jesus, John should have introduced him.

Lastly compare Is 44:6 with Rev 1:17.

What do you see?

(I dont know why your verse 6 is different too)
grin

It is there in black and white.

Enjoy.

Peace.
Christianity EtcRe: @ JMAN05, Please Defend Jehovah's Witnesses Doctrines Here. by truthislight:
@Italo Italo


italo: Key questions:

1. Who is coming quickly in verse 12 & 20?
If you had red that the "God of the prophet sends his angel in verse 6 and the bright norning star of the rooth of Devid sends his angel in verse 16, you would not be asking about who is coming in verses 12 and 20 as though they are talking about the same persons. Read it again, but well this time.

Meanwhile, what did you do below here?

What is this your scripture post saying ?

italo: 2. Compare Rev 22:6 And he said to me, “These words are trustworthy and true. And the Lord, the God of thespirits of the prophets, has sent his angel to show his servants what must soon take place
i cant reconcile with this your choice of Scripturs o!

Did your post present words that is not the truth ?

Again, what is the message you are passing ?

What i posted, was it not correct ?

Why is your bible referenc saying 'spirit ' instead of the God of the prophets ?

italo: With Rev 1:1 The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show to his servants what must soon take place; and he made it known by sending his angel to his servant John,

And adjuge who is speaking.
I cant see what you are trying to say up there.

Did you actually read my post at all so ? Did you not get the message of that post concerning that John 22

see it again here :

truthislight: Rev 22:6-13 talked about Yahweh sending his angel, then from verse 16 and 17 talked about Jesus the root of Devid also sending his angel.

see:


"And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done. Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book. And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things. Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God. And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand. He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still. And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. "I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. " (Revelation 22:6-13).
..........:..........
That ^ is talking about Yahweh that sends His angel.

After Yahweh sends his Angel, then Jesus sends his angel in subsequent vers 16 below:


"I Jesus have sent mine angel
to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star. And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely." (Revelation 22:16-17).
..................

The almighty is not of the root of David.

Yahweh is not a morning star.

"The lord God of the prophet" is Yahweh.
I dont know why your own verse 6 is suspect.

If we see the truth lets be bold enough to say this is the truth,

Well, enjoy.
Christianity EtcRe: Most TRINITARIANS End-up Becoming Atheist,a Reward Or A Curse by truthislight: 12:02pm On Nov 11, 2013
BERNIMOORE: in the old testament it was written that our God is 'only one and not 3'

Deuteronomy 6:4 Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:

jesus echoed the same thing, in NT; below;



mark 12:29

"replied Jesus, "is this: 'Hear, O Israel! The Lord our God is one Lord
;

yet it was said that jesus claimed that he is one with the father, but jesus also say that we (believers) are part of the oneness with God and jesus

John 17:21-24
New King James Version (NKJV)

21 that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me. 22 And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one: 23 I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me.



all to no avail, trinitarians shot themselves on the foot by distorting the person of God as unreal,

the chief propergator of this false belief is the catholic, as they paid dearly with cases of their priests leading the chart in world religion in child molestation, priests who dont see God as a real person through distorted teaching cannot feel bad over molesting a child, worst still they recycle these priests instead of dismissing them, which clearly violates what the bible says 'to quit association with such person' something that is very annoying is that the bible will say something, these catholic priest uphold another tradition teaching(unsacred scripture) that counters the bible Gods word

and so, since the basis of their religion has been distorted, most of these priests dont believe the existence of God or even the need to fear God. pope francis adopted the Gays and even making phone calls to them, to continue practicing their sinful lust without any measusre to please God and stop sinning.

pope francis evidently show disbelief in the person of God when he told Atheists that they dont need to BELIEVE in GOD to make heaven.

even when jesus said in john 17:3.......this is everlasting life...knowing you the ONLY TRUE GOD....

The so called pope francis without fear of God said atheist dont need to know God to make heaven

cardinal pell flanked himself with atheist and some scientists and open his mouth gbau, and said that 'the story of Adam eve and serpent were just a myth,

all this is due to a wrong foundation rooted in the lie called TRINITY, a word that was never found in the bible

A lie that removed the name of God in the holy scriptures and render God NAMELESS.

trinitarians are loosing the battle, they embrace atheism as their last destination, what a shame!

You are welcome though.
Christianity EtcRe: @ JMAN05, Please Defend Jehovah's Witnesses Doctrines Here. by truthislight:
Hehehe, very funny a place.

@Italo

I wish to show you something below, so, cool down and read it and see if there is anything you will take out of it from this Rev 22.


italo: This is another shameful lie.

Rev 22:12 “And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work. 13[b] I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last.[/b]”

14 Blessed are those who do His (Jesus is clearly referring to the father here, meaning he is the one speaking) commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city. 15 But outside are dogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and whoever loves and practices a lie.

16 “I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things in the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star.

17 And the Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let him who hears say, “Come!” And let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely.

18 For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to these things, God(clearly referring to the father again) will add to him the plagues that are written in this book; 19 and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away[k] his part from the Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

20 He who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming quickly.” (this is a repeat of Jesus words in verse 22).

Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus!


Clearly Jesus addresses himself as "the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last"

Why are you Jehovah's Witnesses so full of falsehood?

Abi can other people help us judge the passage above?


Jesus Christ: “Do not be afraid; I am the First and the Last. 18 I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore."

You lie that "the first and last" Jesus said is a title that means something different from that of God.

What does it mean and where does the Bible tell you its meaning?
Rev 22:6-13 talked about Yahweh sending his angel, then from verse 16 and 17 talked about Jesus the root of Devid also sending his angel.

see:


"And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done. Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book. And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things. Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God. And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand. He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still. And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. "I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. " (Revelation 22:6-13).
..........:..........
That ^ is talking about Yahweh that sends His angel.

After Yahweh sends his Angel, then Jesus sends his angel in subsequent vers 16 below:


"I Jesus have sent mine angel
to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star. And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely." (Revelation 22:16-17).
..................

The almighty is not of the root of David.

Yahweh is not a morning star.

"The lord God of the prophet" is Yahweh.

macof: Truth and noble, if you wanna know noble truth about Jesus, ask a Jew.
I have a Jewish friend who has feed me enough he knows about Jesus,
remember Jesus was a Jew, only a Jew can tell u things that the Bible couldn't tell u.

It seems u wouldn't believe me, even if I post articles and links for u. So get the information urself, travel to Israel on pilgrimage, use the opportunity to make friends with an Hebrew Jew(a Jew practicing judaism; their national religion)

Why should u continue living a lie created by the Romans? Wisdom and knowledge is the right of all humans, now acquire it.

However, if u wish for us to continue this debate I am in

Hehehehe..

@Italo

i like the boldness above, atleast you came out confidently to post those doctrinal differences on this thread, i will call those the essence tthat should and can determined this :

"For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth." (1 Timothy 2:3-4).
==========================================

Good Job.

I am interested, however, i await Jman that you had called out to address those first.

Peace.

Watching.

italo: @ JWs, do you still teach that Jesus Christ is the Archangel Michael?

What is your current teaching...and please provide evidence.
Christianity EtcRe: @ JMAN05, Please Defend Jehovah's Witnesses Doctrines Here. by truthislight: 8:55pm On Nov 09, 2013
italo: @JWs

In Rev 22:12-13, Jesus Christ, the one who is "coming quickly", says of himself, " I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end". In Rev 1:17-18, Jesus, the one who "became dead, but, look! I am living forever and ever", refers to himself as the first and the last. Rev 21:6, in speaking of God, says, "...I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end ...". God is also referred to as the "first" and the "last" in Isa 44:6 and Isa 48:12.

Why do you say Jesus is not God since by definition of these words there can only be one first and one last?
Christianity EtcRe: @ JMAN05, Please Defend Jehovah's Witnesses Doctrines Here. by truthislight: 8:54pm On Nov 09, 2013
italo: Jesus Christ is referred to as "Mighty God" in Isa 9:6 ("For there has been a child born to us, there has been a son given to us ... And his name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God ..."wink. Jehovah is referred to as "Mighty God" in Isa 10:20-21. Yet, there is only one God (1Cor 8:4, Isa 43:10, 44:6)?

Why then do you say Jesus is not God?

If the soul is the body, why does Jesus make a distinction between the body and the soul in Mt 10:28?

Christianity EtcRe: The Possibility Of Natural Intelligence. by truthislight:
plaetton: My dear friend.
Read my posts carefully.

Never say impossible when it come to human imagination and innovation.
That past 200 yrs or so has clearly demonstrated that.

You guys are just behind in modern science, mainly because of the magical thinking that comes with religious beliefs.
The problem is that your minds are too suffused with religious bullshyt(excuse my language) to appreciate scientific thinking .

There is no mystery, there is no miracle. There is no divine.
Everything in the universe, even god, if at all it exists, fall under, and operate within the laws of physics.
Central to the understanding physics is understanding the universe in terms of energy oscillating on a diverse range of frequencies.

So every phenomenon can be understood and defined in terms of energy and frequencies.

Please watch the video links.

Please watch the video and tell me your final thoughts.

Plaeton, some people may belief in the existance of God, that does not translate to their lack of scientific knowledge and working of it or that they have low IQ's.

Isaac Newton for one did belief in God, that did not make him a slowpoke, so, stop directing/imputing your personal fears and sentiments to others if it is.

If your becoming an atheist is because of your fears of being considered unintelligent, well, such kind fears are not mutual, hence inconsiquential to some other people.

If you will be open minded, you will agree with me that though there has been lots of advancement in science, it has mostly been on inanimate things, but when it comes to the living things, human have not been able to do much other then manipulate the existing ones.
So, when you say that humans will make inanimate things to turn to living thing, that is a very big leap of none evidential faith, completly without precedence to warrant taking it as a possible plus no matter how long in the future you wish to project such possibilties, there are no evidence to support such.

From stem cell to test tube lab stuff, it is work based on already living things, bridging this divide between living things and nonliving things is what we dont have evidence for, contrary to what you wish to believe and project here.

So, your leap of faith is baseless.

Though computers can be programmed to performed certain intelligent functions, however, it still remains a 'nonliving thing'.

Please, take note of that ^.
Christianity EtcRe: The Possibility Of Natural Intelligence. by truthislight: 12:06am On Nov 09, 2013
plaetton: Proof that consciousness and intelligence are not divine attributes, but are generated by mathematical thresholds of electrical activity, just as happens in the brains of living things.
That is seriouse o!

My friend Plaeton, i think you are taking this your thing too seriousely too far.

Cool down and contemplate what consciouseness is first befor you take that leap.

Seriousely this time, consciouse no be programming of a machine o!

Capturing in entirty what consciouseness is as a consciouse entity no be easy thing o !
We can only take an aspect at a time, it is super complex.

The curves are too tight and too many.
From living matter to self identity like identifying yourself in a mirror. Aba !

Even a cat and a dog etc that have came a long way and are in our form(mammal and living) when shown itself in a mirror 1000 times cant go round that curve of self identity let alone a machine.


plaetton: I do not dwell in absolutes.

The answer is yes.
It is well within the realm of possibility.
What a leap !

It takes a certain level of
abstract Imagination
to attain a level of 'self identity' for a start, which goes beyond the sense of sight.

Have you thought about that ?
Programming matter is something else.

What you are talking about is beyond frequency o, even our closes look alike as close as they come(ape) cannot identify itself.

Guy, cool down a bit na. Shooo!

you make me a man of faith to look faithless
Christianity EtcRe: Christianity And Things That Aren't Really Known by truthislight: 10:29pm On Nov 08, 2013
On the OT prophesies fulfiling on Jesus to proof he is the messaiah, try some of what i posted on a thread to logic boy below.

The prophesies that fulfiled on Jesus christ from the OT are so many.

FOLYKAZE: Unfortunately for you bro....the Jew were expecting military messiah and not Jesus. Also you guys believe Jesus is the messiah, why are you not picking words from his mouth and you running to paul who do not have any contact with him? Only if you can prove to me that Jesus was the one the prophecy was speaking about. Jesus wasn't a military man. Next try
see this one:

Now for the forth post (4) on bible prophesy:


This was my initial question to you
truthislight: are you saying that there are no prophesies that has ever come true even in the bible inclusive?
and this is your answer i supposed.

Logicboy03: Yes.
the appearance of the messaiah:

"Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem until the Messiah the Prince there shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times." (Daniel 9:25).

Note the sign to mark the appearance of the mesaiah :

"from the "going forth of the commandment" to restore and to build Jerusalem until the Messiah"
(going forth of the commandment)

and when was this words given to rebuild Jerusalem ?

"And it came to pass in the month Nisan, in the twentieth year of Artaxerxes the king, that wine was before him: and I took up the wine, and gave it unto the king. Now I had not been beforetime sad in his presence." (Nehemiah 2:1).

"And I said unto the king, If it please the king, and if thy servant have found favour in thy sight, that thou wouldest send me unto Judah, unto the city of my fathers’ sepulchres, that I may build it. And the king said unto me, (the queen also sitting by him,) For how long shall thy journey be? and when wilt thou return? So it pleased the king to send me; and I set him a time." (Nehemiah 2:5-6).

"Moreover I said unto the king, If it please the king, let letters be given me to the governors beyond the river, that they may convey me over till I come into Judah;"
"And a letter unto Asaph the keeper of the king’s forest, that he may give me timber to make beams for the gates of the palace which appertained to the house, and for the wall of the city, and for the house that I shall enter into. And the king granted me, according to the good hand of my God upon me." (Nehemiah 7:8.)

^^^ now we know when the words were given by the letter authorising the rebuilding of Jeruselam :

the month Nisan, in the twentieth year of Artaxerxes the king, (Nehemiah 2:1).


So, From secular sources history also shows that the first year of king Artaxerxes as ruler was 474BCE and as such the twentieth year of his rule that the word went forth was = 455BCE, we have the date for the going forth of the word and the starting point for the appearance of the messaiah

so, the duration will be a day = 1year as in yearly sabbath (Exodus 23:11). :

seven weeks(7*7= 49years) and threescore(3*20 = 60weeks *7 = 420 years) and two weeks(7*2 = 14).
(Daniel 9:25)

Total = 49+420+14 = 483years befor the Messiah will appear.

And the starting point we hard was the 20th year OF the king Artaxerxes = 455BCE

so, 455 - 483 =29CE the year that Jesus was anointed as the masaiah(baptise)
^^^ perfect prophesy (note, no zero years in date)

again, masaiah's death :

there is a calculation for the cutting off of the messaiah also.

Next is COMING :

https://www.nairaland.com/1098081/arise-sir-logicboy-knight-atheism/2#12903912

there are others on that ^ thread.

Peace.

One wonder if you just post whatever you want to believe in or you follow your opponents post at all, though this has been handled already on this thread you went ahead to post this below, it makes me wonder if the book of mark was also writen befor the Book of Isaiah.

FOLYKAZE: Lets take the history of the gospel. Mark was written before Matthew; and most account in the gospel of matthew were copied from gospel of mark with little additions.

Matthew 28:19 was copied from Mark 16:12-20 which we both know that the church added that to it. It was not original ancient scripture but a clean invention of the church.

And do you read matt 10:5-6? Where are the lost Israelites....in the wilderness.

The Israelites are sheep lost in the wilderness where other animals are but do shepherd take the goat or chicken or lion with his flock? Nope.

If you got brain, apply the analogy to the scripture.
Try and read the below again, this time read very slowly.

I took it from up of this thread, i posted it to Macof befor:

truthislight: I take this to mean that you are saying that Yahweh never meant to reach out to gentiles.

If so, then read the paasage below.



(Isaiah 49:6).
"And he said, It is a light thing that you should be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: 'I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth." (Isaiah 49:6).


Paul quoted the those scriptures while preaching to gentiles:

(Acts 13:47).
"For so hath the Lord commanded us, saying, I have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that you should be for a salvation unto the ends of the earth." (Acts 13:47).


One thing i give to you is that christianity was corrupted by constantine and his clique, but that has not changed the plans of Yahweh.

Again, paul was baptised by Ananias, check your facts well.

Peace
One wonders if you red this threads/post really or you just glide through it and post whatever you want.

Have a nice day.

peace
