Why Do You Praise The Name Of Jesus Christ? by Kobojunkie: 4:23pm On May 29, 2022 |
Why Do you Praise the name of Jesus Christ when He said not to? Jesus Christ explicitly stated that He does not seek nor desire praise from any human being. He discouraged the praising of His person by humans. 40 But you refuse to come to me to have that life.The same Jesus Christ said that those who do what He commands are those who belong to Him. 13 The greatest love people can show is to die for their friends.So why then do you praise Jesus Christ, against His own decree, yet believe yourself to be of Him? 1 Like |

Kobojunkie: Your quote said "But you refuse to come to me to have that life." So, if I have received Life, is it not proper and good to thank and praise He Who gave me, exactly as He asked "where are the other 9"? Your understanding is broken like one damaged by drug use. 15 Likes |

Kobojunkie: Right there in your quote, He tells us the reason He did not accept it. "42 But I know you—I know that you have no love for God. 43 I have come from my Father and speak for him, but you don’t accept me.. How you conveniently ignore this is, shows exactly who you are! 7 Likes |

Kobo Kobo.. that is the reason why the body of Christ must assemble, to teach and understand the word of God. You will continue to misinterpret scriptures when you become an island and it makes me wonder what level of education you have. According to John 5: 40-44 that you quoted. The scripture doesn't talk about praising Jesus. Jesus was condemning their eye service. He said people like to praise or complement themselves. They are not concerned about what God thinks about them. For instance, if I donate 5 million naira to someone, they will thank me and keep on doing so anytime they see me. Even though I'm bad to staff, and I don't do the right things, I would rather hear people thank me and recognise me for what I've done. But Jesus is saying none of that matters except I'm getting praise from God. Which in this case none of these people care whether they are doing good in sight of God nor even believe in God. Jesus doesn't value their praises since they have no love for God. Chikina simple and periodt. Kobojunkie: 5 Likes |

peggywebbs:1. But your gatherings are against Jesus Christ who instead said that He alone is Teacher to each and every one who belongs to Him - Matthew 23 vs 8 - 10 from Jeremiah 31 vs 31 - 34 - , insinuating that no other is to sit as Teacher to anyone who belongs to Him. So, if you all gather together, as you claim, to teach each other, don't you all do so in sin against Jesus Christ? 2. So because within the same context, Jesus Christ condemned men who seek praise for themselves, His own declaration that He does not desire praise from any human in John 5 vs 41 should be ignored? 3. I know what you are attempting to insinuate but the statement recorded in John 5 vs 41 was not a conditional or a comparison as you pretend, but instead absolute, a declaration, made by Jesus Christ. 39 You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and wit is they that bear witness about me,If you carefully digest what is written as it is written, surely you should see that you give glory in vain to one who does not accept glory from people? 4. So when Jesus Christ said, "I do not accept glory from people", He really didn't really mean all people? What Jesus Christ instead meant to say was that He does not value praises or receive from people who seek praises from others only? 1 Like |

I am not insinuating anything. That's the interpretation of those verses. There's no hidden meaning to it. Now if you don't want to praise Jesus, that's up to you but using that scripture is a complete misrepresentation of it. Jesus Christ is not against gathering. Even Jesus Christ went to the temple to learn the scriptures. He also taught the scriptures to others in the temple. Jesus gathered people when he fed 5,000. He was always in a gathering. So when I say assemble or gathering, you can interpret it whichever way you want, but people don't just read and interpret scripture alone, it will certainly be misinterpreted like you have done in this case. Why did Jesus Christ have need for disciples? Why did the disciples have need for apostles? And if the message had ended after the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, do you think it would have reached the dark continent of Africa? Kobojunkie, repent and go back to God. Body of Christ does not mean one person. Stop debating scripture you have no understanding of and get wisdom. Kobojunkie: 3 Likes |

peggywebbs:1. Interesting! You claim there is no hidden meaning yet rather than seek to then comprehend what is written as is it written, you insist you must interprete it implying there is a hidden meaning of sorts. You insist your interpretation is of what is written yet I directly contracts what is in fact written, care to explain why? 2a. Your gatherings were you set yourselves up as teachers to each other is instead what I made clear Jesus Christ is against. You are right that He isn't against gatherings , after all He too gathers to Himself His own Church which He built Himself. 2b. And about reading and "interpreting" scripture alone, are you implying that those who listen and obey Jesus Christ's command to have Him as their only Teacher where it concerns the Kingdom of God, these individuals are alone, even when Jesus Christ is with them? 1 Like 1 Share |

There's one thing you should understand, nobody dispute's that the master Teacher is Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ's purpose on earth was to reveal the truth and the kingdom of God. Now, he appointed messengers called disciples to teach them the truth and their mandate was to spread the truth or gospel across the world. So they fulfilled this and that's why we know the truth today. However, it doesn't change the fact that the truth and the message of the gospel is only from Jesus Christ. He is the word of God remember? So basically, we all have a mandate to spread the truth of Jesus Christ. So there's no need for back and forth. If you don't want to praise Jesus, it's your choice. There are lots of places in the Bible that tell otherwise but I guess you have to still keep reading and do bible study with other believers. You can't study scripture and interpret it alone.

Re: Why Do You Praise The Name Of Jesus Christ? by Kobojunkie: 5:25pm On Jul 05, 2022 |
peggywebbs:1. Yet that is exactly what you are here doing, how come? 2a. Since the very same appointment and Law which Jesus Christ gave to His first 12 disciples, even Judas who was among them, is the same exact appointment and Law He gives to each and everyone of His other followers, doesn't that make your elevation of said appointment a tad moot?, 2b. Also, what Jesus Christ instead said is that He is God's Truth - John 14 vs 16 - and God's Truth is more than capable of standing the test of time and circumstance - Matthew 5 vs 15 - 17 - independent of what men do or say of Him meaning your claim that the Truth is available because of the ones you glorify is a lie. 3. If you believe in Jesus Christ then why do you not take what He says as it is written to you? Why do you feel the need to "interprete" or manipulate it to say instead what you would prefer?? 4. This really isn't about a choice is it but about whether you truly Love Jesus Christ - John 14 vs 15 - 20.. No be by mouth dem dey take carry the things of God. |

Dawinlove:Your frustrations over my calling out the lies you keep pushing in the name of God clearly lead you to this ignorant attack, didn't it? So, did Jesus Christ not say He does not desire the praise of humans in John 5 vs 41 ? Why do you reject Him all at you can preach that which is obviously against Him using His name? |
Re: Why Do You Praise The Name Of Jesus Christ? by Kobojunkie: 7:25pm On Aug 15, 2022 |
In God's Old Covenant Law of Moses, it was indeed the case that one can gain God's attention via praise since God gave the people of Israel commandments requiring they praise HIm with obedience being the Key, no the praise itself. 23 “In the future, when you enter your country, you will plant many kinds of trees for food. After planting a tree, you must wait three years before you can use any of the fruit from that tree. You must not use that fruit.... 9 There you will have plenty of food and everything you need. It is a land where the rocks are iron. You can dig copper out of the hills.... 20 “You must respect the Lord your God and worship only him. Never leave him. When you make promises, you must use his name only..... 2 My teachings will come like the rain, like a mist falling to the ground, like a gentle rain on the soft grass, like rain on the green plants.Even in God's old Covenant, it was the obedience of God's commandments regarding praise and not the praises themselves that moved God to doing that which He promised to do for the people. However, in God's New Covenant and Law, Jesus Christ, there is no mandate given for men to praise Jesus Christ, so Jesus Christ is not honoured by your praise of Him since He did not command it, instead what honours Him, just as in the Old Covenant is your obedience of that which God in fact commands. 39 You carefully study the Scriptures. You think that they give you eternal life. These same Scriptures tell about me! |

Emmanuel30a:1. I am definitely not praising Jesus Christ since Jesus Christ literally said He does not desire the praises of humans, and those who love Him are those who submit to and follow His teachings and commandments. 2. Since my Master is not David but Jesus Christ, I only listen to and do what Jesus Christ says. |
Re: Why Do You Praise The Name Of Jesus Christ? by Kobojunkie: 3:25pm On Jan 01, 2023 |
Emmanuel30a:1. Basically, what you are saying is that you know better than Jesus Christ Himself who explained to you that your praise of Him is in vain. 2. Ask God to help me not to do that which Jesus Christ stipulates? How does that work? You want me to ask God for eyes, heart, and height of understanding that contravenes His very Word, Jesus Christ? 3. You mean by doing exactly what Jesus Christ decrees, it means I don't know Jesus Christ? So, Jesus Christ didn't mean it at all when He said that those who are His friends are those who do what He asks? |
