How The Teaching Of Paul Differs From The Teaching Of Christ(part 4) by luvmijeje(f): 4:32pm On Jan 26, 2019 |
The Teaching Of Christ : John 8 : 4 - 7 they said to him, “Teacher, this woman has been caught in the act of adultery. Now in the Law, Moses commanded us to stone such women. So what do you say?” This they said to test him, that they might have some charge to bring against him. Jesus bent down and wrote with his finger on the ground. And as they continued to ask him, he stood up and said to them, “Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her.” And once more he bent down and wrote on the ground The Teaching Of Paul : Ist Timothy 1 : 8-10 Now we know that the law is good, if one uses it lawfully, understanding this, that the law is not laid down for the just but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who strike their fathers and mothers, for murderers, the sexually immoral, men who practice homosexuality, enslavers, liars, perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound doctrine Christ was totally against the law of Moses but Paul promoted it. Christ recognize you can't be a man and not sin but Paul criminalize the act of sinning. |

luvmijeje:Oh boy, you've done a really poor job of reading of Bible as it's evident in your so called revelations. "Matthew 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil." "Luke 24:44- And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me." "Matthew 5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled." Jesus only demonstrated what grace is in the scripture you quoted, he didn't condemn the woman neither did he condemn the law. Also, Jesus was not in support of sinning as he told that woman in "John 8:11" that she should go and sin no more. Same thing with the man that has suffered infirmity for 38 years in "John chapter 5" where Jesus told him in verse 14 that he should go and sin no more. As it's evident in the 3 scriptures that I quoted above, Christ is the fulfilment of the law, mind you there are other scriptures similar to this o. Don't be in a rush to teach or point out so called errors, make sure you search the scripture, read it well and understand what you're reading by the help of the Holy Spirit before you draw hasty conclusions and teach heresies. So I'm putting this directly to you to give a scripture where Christ directly stated that he hated the law or that he came to abolish the law? 2 Likes 1 Share |

luvmijeje:Jesus Christ was not against the Law of Moses. He, in fact, lived and fulfilled the requirements of the Law on behalf of every Jew that would choose to follow Him(The New Covenant). ![]() Yes, Christ preached salvation and forgiveness of sins, but Paul was not really condemning or criminalizing sin in that particular instance but warning of the Christians of His time who had taken it upon themselves to try to preach the Old Covenant laws as if part of the Gospel of the Kingdom of God as preached by Jesus Christ Himself.

Kobojunkie: If you read through the gospel books you will see alot of instances Christ was a law breaker. He broke the law when he did the work of healing on the Sabbath day. He also break the law when he went into the temple to drive away the sellers. He broke the law when he didn't allow them to stone the adulterer. Above all, he broke the law by going against the teachings of the religious leaders of those time. Christ was never a conformist. But Paul was a conformist. He created a system on the back of a system that was already existing. A system of hierarchy. A system where only few were commissioned to hear from God directly while majority follow like sheep without questioning it. And that system still exist today, we have religion leaders who members can't question because they were the one that God called. |

luvmijeje:Jesus Christ did not break any of the Old Covenant laws, and definitely not even the Sabbath laws when He healed people on the Sabbath day. See in vs 6. that even after what they witnessed, they still did not have any crime to pin on Him, Jesus Christ. ![]() To understand how Jesus Christ did not in fact break any of the sabbath laws that were included in the Old Covenant, one first needs to understand the Sabbath law itself. Below passages constitute the declaration of the Sabbath laws in the Old Covenant. Jesus Christ forgave the sins of men on the Sabbath and that is not against the rules of the Sabbath. Jesus Christ's own disciples went into the fields to eat on the Sabbath, which is not against any Sabbath rules. Jesus Christ forgave a man his sins on the sabbath... that is not against any of the rules stipulated as part of the sabbath laws. Jesus Christ set people who were in bondage to sin free on the sabbath... that is not against the sabbath. He is indeed the Lord of the Sabbath as He declared. ![]() luvmijeje:He didn't break any of the Old Covenant laws when He drove the money changers from the Temple. ![]() luvmijeje:He didn't allow it? ![]() Jesus Christ did not stop them from doing what they were intending to do. He simply quoted another law from the same Old Covenant back at them, and let them decide for themselves what their next course of action would .... ... and they decided that stoning the woman was not worth it. luvmijeje:He did not break the law by going against the teachings of the religious leaders of the time. ![]() The Old Covenant Law came from God Himself and is documented in the books of Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy... Moses wrote it all down before he died. Those who set themselves up as "Teachers of the Law" were expected to teach the very Law as it was given to the people by Moses. However, they took it upon themselves to instead teach doctrines and commandments(of men) in place of the Law of Moses to God's people, deceiving the people with their lies in the process. And this in direct disobedience of God's own commandment included in that same Law which commanded against the adding and removing from the commandments of God given through Moses. Jesus Christ knew very well that what they taught were lies and He pointed this ought every chance He got. luvmijeje:Well, it seems that way, sure! ![]() luvmijeje:But, was it Paul's intention to create a "system"? Remember, that the writings attributed to Paul are in fact letters that were meant to specific audiences and not to the entire world. Anyways, just thinking out loud there. ![]() |
Re: How The Teaching Of Paul Differs From The Teaching Of Christ(part 4) by luvmijeje(f): 10:49pm On Mar 20, 2021 |
Kobojunkie: Let's go back to the scripture you quoted Mark 3 : 2 Some Jews there were watching Jesus closely. They were waiting to see if he would heal the man on a Sabbath day. They wanted to see Jesus do something wrong so that they could accuse him. Before the emergence of Christ, was there anyone who have performed a miracle on a Sabbath day? Law is an establish rules and norms among a group of people. Christ went against it. In order to prove to you that laws is an establish rules and norms among a group of people, let's go back to the scripture you quoted. Exodus 20:11 11. That is because the Lord worked six days and made the sky, the earth, the sea, and everything in them. And on the seventh day, he rested. In this way, the Lord blessed the Sabbath—the day of rest. He made that a very special day. Moses made the 7th day a rest day simply based on his belief God rested on the 7th day. The law was created by a man and for centuries the keeper of the laws have enforced it. Christ came from nowhere to break the law. He only escape the consequences simply because what he did was done in Public. Let's go to point 2. He didn't break any of the Old Covenant laws when He drove the money changers from the Temple He absolutely did. Exodus 30 :12 - 13 The Lord said to Moses, When you take the census of the people of Israel, then each shall give a ransom for his life to the Lord when you number them, that there be no plague among them when you number them. Each one who is numbered in the census shall give this: half a shekel according to the shekel of the sanctuary (the shekel is twenty gerahs),half a shekel as an offering to the Lord. The money changers has been in the temple for centuries in response to the above law before the emergence of Christ. By sending them away he broke the law. He didn't allow it?undecided. According to your quote above, his speech stop them from doing the lawful act they were about to carry out. The Old Covenant Law came from God Himself and is documented in the books of Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy... Moses wrote it all down before he died. Those who set themselves up as "Teachers of the Law" were expected to teach the very Law as it was given to the people by Moses. However, they took it upon themselves to instead teach doctrines and commandments(of men) Hello!!!! The law of Moses was the law of man! Was Moses a spirit? Moses was a man like you and I. Do you know the so called 10 commandments were all broken by the Isrealites in other lands and they were all sanctioned by Moses. One example. Exodus 20:15... The Law 15 “You shall not steal. The People of Israel went to many wars to steal lands that is not theirs. Moses led them to wars based on a story that happened 400 years before Moses was born. The promised land was a stolen lands. After God told them not to steal, they proceeded to steal lands that doesn't belong them by using God's name. The Pharisees and today Christianity learnt their hypocrisy from Moses. But, was it Paul's intention to create a "system"? Remember, that the writings attributed to Paul are in fact letters that were meant to specific audiences and not to the entire world. Anyways, just thinking out loud there Apostle Paul is a great teacher and he has done his part to contribute the body of knowledge but what I hate is the fact that the religionist have created a world where his work cannot be question nor any of the work in the Bible. When you question it, one will be call a devil or be demonise. |

luvmijeje:Jesus Christ was not the first person in the history of Israel to perform miracles. So they were well aware of what miracles were, the Teachers of the Law, that is. ![]() luvmijeje:Well, this would be true if the Law also provided an excuse of some sort for crimes committed in public which it didn't. The reason they could not pin a crime against Jesus Christ in this case is simply because by the Law itself, miracles are not deemed work(since they are believed to come from God Himself) and so, not against the Sabbath. luvmijeje:The temple probably had cashiers for centuries but not money changers(currency exchangers), no. ![]() luvmijeje:Jesus Christ only spoke words to them, and those words caused the men to reevaluate their actions. He did not stop them... He simply reminded them of what the Law indeed says they should also be willing to consider before they cast the first stone. ![]() luvmijeje:The conquered people and took their land and property in much the same way as many other people did. luvmijeje:If you want to believe that, ok. ![]() Apostle Paul is a great teacher and he has done his part to contribute the body of knowledge but what I hate is the fact that the religionist have created a world where his work cannot be question nor any of the work in the Bible. When you question it, one will be call a devil or be demonise. [/quote]They did not create such a world. His words are being questioned right now by people like you and I. ![]() |

luvmijeje: Israel "broke, destroyed and perverted The Law, Extracts from Jeremiah 2, 3 and 5 For my people is foolish, they have not known me; they are sottish children, and they have none understanding: THEY ARE WISE TO DO EVIL, BUT TO DO GOOD THEY HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE. Run ye to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and know, and seek in the broad places thereof, if ye can find a man, if there be any that executeth judgment, that seeketh the truth; and I will pardon it. Chapter 5 Therefore I said, Surely these are poor; they are foolish: for they know not the way of the Lord, nor the judgment of their God. For among my people are found wicked men: they lay wait, as he that setteth snares; they set a trap, they catch men. 27 As a cage is full of birds, SO ARE THEIR HOUSES FULL OF DECEIT: therefore they are become great, and waxen rich. 28 They are waxen fat, they shine: yea, they overpass the deeds of the wicked: they judge not the cause, the cause of the fatherless, yet they prosper; and the right of the needy do they not judge. 30 A wonderful and horrible thing is committed in the land; 31 The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; AND MY PEOPLE LOVE TO HAVE IT SO: and what will ye do in the end thereof? But The Lord Jesus Christ Re-Righted It and Restored it back to Its Original True Form! Malachi 3:1-3 Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith the Lord of hosts. But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap: 3 [b]And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the Lord an offering in righteousness. |

Kobojunkie: Do you see any similarity between the Isrealites and the Fulani herders. The Fulani herders can kill because of their religion but they don't mind stealing other people's land, killing the landowners simply because they believe the instructions in their holy books only applies to their kind. Moses did worst more than what herders are doing now. How do you think the recipient of these evil felt? Anyway, thank you from restraining yourself from taking this as a personal attack. This and many more are the reasons I stopped being religious. |

Dtruthspeaker: There are alot of messengers who had come in the manner of Christ. And till today they still have alot of followers. Expand your mind. Learn to see the world around you. Learn to see God outside of your little bubble. Stop putting God in a box. What if you are the Lord the world has been waiting for? What if the Lord has not come? We can't continue relying on 15th century teachings. Moses, Christ, Paul and so on on have contributed to their own generations. We need new teachers and Prophets that will arise to contribute to their own generations and contribute generally to the body of knowledge. |

The Prophecies were very Clear and Specific as to the Where (place) the How (means or manner) He Shall Come, the What things He Shall Do and even His Departure from the earth! It was very precise and most especially as One came and left fulfilling each and every ingredient of this prophecy WITHOUT A SINGLE ELEMENT OUT OF PLACE! luvmijeje: There are no what ifs in Truths only Conclusive Settled Proofs!
