That only shows that your recognition to Jesus in not a revelation from the Father but come from a Man only.
You mentioned what is happening on that other thread and now you are asking what other thread?
Proclaiming Jesus is God will not save you.
MATTHEW 7:21-23
21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22 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?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
The other members who are visiting the threads might be confused if you mix other topics in here.
My answer in this thread is not necessarily for the one who commented but for all the members who are reading threads.
They might have the same questions or comment.
If the recognition to Jesus is come from the Father. God the Father will reveal the 2 roles playing by Jesus.
Jesus in his One Body.
1st Role Everlasting Father.
2nd Role The Son of God
MATTHEW 16:15-17
15 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?
16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.
To understand it very well.
Sir you have 2 roles in your family too.
1st Role, you are the husband of your wife
2nd Role, you are the father of your daughter
You can't be a Father of your Wife.
You can't be a husband of your daughter.
You have the responsibility in each of them.
Your responsibility to your wife is not your responsibility to your daughter and vise versa.
In Jesus 1st Role as the Everlasting Father of course he is Good!
But in the 2nd Role of Jesus as the Son of God. He is not Good.
Because Jesus in his 2nd Role as The Son of God, he served as the model by showing an example that we must follow.
1 PETER 2:21
21 For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:
Therefore: If Jesus in his 2nd Role as The Son of God never admitted that He is Good.
Then all followers of Jesus should follow him.
Question: Do you admit that you are GOOD?
I hope you will post your answer.
Your ignorant insults are becoming tiresome.
So Jesus didn’t exist until about 1350 BC, was incomplete until about 66 AD, and even today Christians don’t agree onTry again.
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
Right after you answer my question with a simple, straightforward answer, which you have not done.
It is so easy to say Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever.
But that statement requires, revelation from God the Father in order to understand. Because it requires revelation from God to know Jesus Christ (Matthew 16_15-17)
Without knowing the real Jesus recognize by the Apostles, that statement is nothing.
I repeated my question to prove if you want to answer it.
Now I know you are avoiding to the answer the question which is just simply YES or NO.
PROVERBS 12:13-19
13 The wicked is snared by the transgression of his lips: but the just shall come out of trouble.
14 A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth: and the recompence of a man's hands shall be rendered unto him.
15 The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that hearkeneth unto counsel is wise.
16 A fool's wrath is presently known: but a prudent man covereth shame.
17 He that speaketh truth sheweth forth righteousness: but a false witness deceit.
18 There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword: but the tongue of the wise is health.
19 The lip of truth shall be established for ever: but a lying tongue is but for a moment.
Firstly, you have not asked me that question previously. Secondly, it’s a baiting question intended to give you reason to criticize, so I wouldn’t answer it. Thirdly, you still have not answered my question and I will not answer any of yours until you do so.
Your are a self-righteous poser with too much time and too little investment. Because you avoid actual conversation but prefer to imply insults, you are not worth any more of my time.
He might be saved only a few weeks....
So, have mercy on him.
If not?
God have mercy on us!
Tithing was under the Mosaic Law Covenant and applied only to the ancient Israelites who, at the time, were God's chosen people.
At no time did the Mosaic Law apply to non-Israelites aka Gentiles. Furthermore, Jesus Christ fulfilled and cancelled out the Mosaic Law Covenant. Below are Jesus' own words.
Matthew 5:17
“Do not think I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I came, not to destroy, but to fulfill."
My response is not necessary for you. It could be to the other members reading the Thread.
Your statement might be a statement of the other members.
My mercy is leaving him alone.
When it comes to spiritual things, the Mercy is belong to God only because nobody could save anybody.
PHILLIPIANS 2:12
12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
