Kobojunkie:In all the examples I gave, which one came first, the goodness of God or their repentance? |
![]() |
It's still the grace gospel that even when Adam and Eve sinned, God still clothed them. It's the grace gospel that before the law was given, Joseph knew that adultery was a sin and fled from that lady cos it is recorded there that the Lord was with Him It's the grace gospel that even before the law was given, Abraham was referred to as a friend of God. That Abraham believed God and it was credited to him as righteousness. It's the grace gospel that after God brought the Israelites from Egypt, even after they complained and complained (complaining is sin), God showed them His goodness. The more they complained, the more He provided. But when the law was given, the very first commandment that they must have no other God, they broke it. They created a golden calf. After the law was given, whenever they complained they died. The complain they did before the law that brought God's goodness, brought death this time around. Why? Cos before the law, God blessed them based on His goodness not theirs. It's still this gospel of grace that when God commanded the children of Israel to kill an animal and put the blood on their doorposts, that none of the first born sons died. Were they perfect? No! Were they blameless? No! Then why? Cos God is good. Now let's go to the new testament. It's still this same gospel of grace that when Jesus wanted to heal those who came to Him, did He say "all who didn't shout at their wives, line up here", "all who obeyed all the commandments, line here, I'll answer you guys first", "all who is without sin, I'll answer you guys too, the rest, please keep all my commandments then I'll heal you"? No! The woman with the issue of blood broke the law! She was unclean! According to the law, she wasn't supposed to be out there! But she heard the goodness of Jesus and her faith grew to receive her healing! Was she good? No! She broke the law! What now happened? She depended on the goodness of Jesus! Let's fast forward to Luke. It's still the same grace that when the rich ruler came to Jesus and boasted in his law keeping that Jesus said "one thing you lack". On the other hand, the short tax collector, in the next chapter, Jesus went to his house. Now did Jesus say "you have been a very bad boy! Do this and do that before you enter my kingdom"? No! Jesus gave him no law and the guy gave almost all he had before Jesus left. And lastly! The thief at the cross! It's still this same grace gospel that Jesus didn't say "before I remember u in my kingdom, do this and say that or confess all your sins before you die, then I will remember you"! No! And it's this gospel of grace that Peter denied Jesus three times!!! After Jesus said "whoever denies Me before men, I'll deny him before My Father"...and yet, when Jesus rose from the dead, He said "go tell My disciples and Peter"... purposely called out Peter's name. Shouldn't Peter be burning in hell since he denied Jesus? No! What am I saying in essence? True repentance comes after seeing the goodness of God in your life. When Jesus told Peter to cast his net into the sea and Peter caught so many fish, he said "depart from me I'm a sinful man". Which one came first? Jesus' goodness or Peter's repentance? In all the miracles Jesus did, which one came first? Jesus goodness or their repentance? Do I support sin? No! Am I encouraging sin? No! I'm only saying let the Lord Himself right His laws in people's hearts. The preaching on the Commandments hasn't helped the Christian world till now. Let the grace of God teach people what to do. You can't know Jesus mind. Peter should be in hell when he denied Jesus. "Humans have a part to play" has caused so many heart aches with people wondering if God is pleased with them. When you have a relationship with Jesus, He'll prompt you through His Spirit in you to do this and do that, or to say this and to say that. DON'T WORRY ABOUT YOUR DOING! FOCUS ON WHAT JESUS DID AT THE CROSS FOR YOU, AND YOUR DOING WILL FLOW EFFORTLESSLY! 5 Likes |

Khaldave:And He also said "Peace I leave with you, My peace I give unto you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled neither let it be afraid . He's given you His peace already. The bolded part is your own part. He definitely spoke in Hebrew to His disciples when He said that. And peace in Hebrew is shalom. And shalom means peace, completeness, welfare, health and prosperity. It's an all encompassing word. Acknowledge Him and value His presence. He's your Dad and He's not gonna whoop you! He cares for you. Anytime u feel sad or worried just tell yourself out loud "let not your heart be troubled neither let it be afraid". Hopefully this helps you. |

Khaldave:You said you are depressed. And you know being that way hasn't solved your problem or hasn't given you peace. Can u start by practicing the presence of Jesus? I'm not talking about read 10 chapters of Bible in a day or fast for 100 days or pray for 50 hours. All that is works and they'll wear u out. Can u just be conscious of Jesus standing beside you? Behave like He's indeed with you? And ready to help you? Talk to Him about any worries you face out loud that's if no one is around you(I'm sure you have a whole lot to talk about). Every Christian has the presence of Jesus but they don't really acknowledge Him. How will this help you get better and how will this bring results? Don't worry about that. Cos even Jesus said DO NOT WORRY. It's not easy trust me but cast your worries in His hands and just acknowledge Him. Thank Him and continuously say out loud that Jesus is with you and you're a successful person and that whatever you do will succeed (No matter how many times you do.) |

Kobojunkie:Do not divert. We're talking about "peace I leave with you..." Did Jesus say obey my teachings before I leave my peace with you? Yes or no? Cos that how believers misinterpret the Bible with their own finite knowledge. Every verse, every chapter in the Bible has different contexts. Understand each verse exactly the way it is written. 1 Like |

Dangerousboy:True. Jesus also said "peace I leave with you, My peace I give unto you. Not as the world gives do I give unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." The peace of Jesus is already in us. Our part is "let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid" ![]() 1 Like |

jesusjnr2020:Lol funny! You can't even agree that Jesus is a gift and everything we need including blessings and righteousness can only come from Him. Thank God the Bible says in the flesh dwells no good thing for us to know who we should turn to for everything. And oh yes! I'll keep sitting at my Father's feet to draw from Him for everything I need. Shebi you've finished drawing from Him cos in your words "like I've done". You're full and you've left His feet cos you've gained every knowledge from Him. You know everything now. You can do this and do that and God will bless you. You even turned away from Jesus by saying I'm just like her. Let's only look to Jesus, you're diverting the topic to slander me and justify yourself. And u said you're not a Pharisee? A Pharisee that knows all? Oh yea! You do! You learned at your "master's" feet and you're full. You don't need to continue. Lol! And which one is false doctrine? Isn't all I've said in the Bible? |

jesusjnr2020:And who did Paul say we should depend on? On him or on Jesus? Jesus is all what Paul preached on. You fail, turn to Jesus. You need wisdom, turn to Jesus, everything including righteousness can't be gotten from ourselves but from Jesus. I'm not sitting on Paul's feet, neither is the other lady based on scriptures she posted. Everything is about Jesus. Christians think they can earn His love or blessings, whereas Jesus is a gift to us. We don't deserve Him. So if u still think Paul's "doctrine" is different from Christ's, maybe u should sit at Jesus' feet. Cause no Christian can please God without Jesus. It's not called "Me-tianity" but Christianity. Christ is everything. Mortal men can't teach men what to do is all I'm saying. Only Jesus can. Good day. |

Temiaminu:If furthering her education is what she really wants to do, and not a decision made for her by someone else, and she's still very young, she can try to start again. Cos it's only by God's grace she can get employed in a well paying job even though she may sound smart to employers. 1 Like |

jesusjnr2020:My dear, don't be a Pharisee ok? We all learn everyday and increase in knowledge everyday. Are u claiming to know Jesus perfectly? You're actually accusing her the exact same way Paul was accused (thank God Romans 6 is there for understanding). I've read some scriptures you've posted and they're in the Bible. I've also read hers, and theyre also in the Bible. Not expecting a reply from you but just know that we learn everyday. Take care! |

I can't imagine the number of Nigerian kids with very high IQ. I don't even know if there's a body that accepts such kids and encourage them. Some kids that were assumed to have down syndrome may be geniuses. longetivity:Really is 1 Like |

Lol if it's just a car, they can share and have turns on when to use it (an understanding husband). Stop putting unnecessary pressure on men. Both the man and the woman are to take of each other, not only the woman needs to be taken care of! 1 Like |
