Emmanuel30a, In the passage, Jesus Christ makes clear how very different He was from the Teachers of the Law, the Pharisees included. undecided
31 “If I tell people about myself, they cannot be sure that what I say is true.
32 But there is someone else who tells people about me, and I know that what he says about me is true.
33 “You sent men to John, and he told you what is true.
34 I don’t need anyone to tell people about me, but I remind you of what John said so that you can be saved.
35 John was like a lamp that burned and gave light, and you were happy to enjoy his light for a while.
36 “But I have a proof about myself that is greater than anything John said. The things I do are my proof. These are what my Father gave me to do. They show that the Father sent me.
37 And the Father who sent me has given proof about me himself. But you have never heard his voice. You have never seen what he looks like.
38 The Father’s teaching does not live in you, because you don’t believe in the one the Father sent.
39 You carefully study the Scriptures. You think that they give you eternal life. These same Scriptures tell about me!
40 But you refuse to come to me to have that life.
41 “I don’t want praise from you or any other human.
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. But when other people come speaking only for themselves, you accept them.
44 You like to have praise from each other. But you never try to get the praise that comes from the only God. So how can you believe?
45 Don’t think that I will be the one to stand before the Father and accuse you. Moses is the one to accuse you. And he is the one you hoped would save you.
46 If you really believed Moses, you would believe me, because he wrote about me. 47 But you don’t believe what he wrote, so you can’t believe what I say.” - John 5 vs 36 - 46

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.


From kobojunkie's posts, you will realize that she is confused. ( I have seen some people addressing her as he, but her profile reveals her gender). Back to the topic: her arguments are hazy and obtruse always. She criticizes every sect of christian denomination yet her own ideas does not agree with any. Could you please ask her which sect of christian denominations she belongs.
Surely her ideas much come from some strange source.

I don't criticize the religion of Christianity/Churchianism. I point out the fact that it is not Jesus Christ who gave a Law instead to His followers, not religion. undecided

In addition, if the ideas are lies, how can they agree with what is instead the Truth of God as taught by Jesus Christ Himself? For instance, back to the topic at hand, Jesus Christ made it abundantly clear that,
He does not receive honor from human beings
He only receives honor from God, the Father

Jesus Christ explained that, unlike the Pharisees and the teachers of the law of the time who bathed themselves in the glory/honor they received from other humans, He, Jesus Christ, does not receive glory/honor from humans. Instead, the only glory/honor/praises He receives is that which comes directly to Him from His Father and His Father alone. This is further revealed in the prayer Jesus Christ said to the Father in John 17. undecided

Those of you who are of the religion of Churchianism/Christianity treat Jesus Christ, who you claim to trust and believe, as though He were equal to the Pharisees when you pretend you honor Him with your many praises and your worship songs which you pretend glorify Him. So, why in the world would I expect to agree with you who are steeped in lies— blinded to the Truth of God clearly written in human language for all to comprehend— that is against Jesus Christ? Does that make sense to you? undecided

I agree with you 100% and I agree with you also that you don't agree with any Christianity/Churchianism sect.
I'd like to join your church/ ministry/ organization/ society. Whatever

What is sect and what are your teachings.
Just outline few of them.

She's made it clear that she's her own pastor, teacher, and evangelist. According to her, Jesus comes down from heaven daily to teach her the word of God. So there's really nothing anyone can tell her. But I strongly believe she is a Jehovah's witness, she sounds very much like them. They'll rather not hear what anyone has to say but themselves. If she isn't one, then she's obviously from a fruit that falls not too far from that tree.

There are many Christians like that today and it's a shame that the church is divided among itself.

1. There is no point resorting to lies for Pete's sake. I understand you do not accept the Words of Jesus Christ but surely you do not also need to twist my own words , do you? undecided

2. I am not even of the Religion since God never gave men religion. Instead, what He gave were Laws.

Why Do you Praise the name of Jesus Christ when He said not to?

anyone that does not honour Jesus does not honour the Father.

John 5:23 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.

Let's see if you can think this one through for yourself. You quoted from verse 23 so, here are questions for you...

■ Do you honor the Son by giving Him that which He told you He does not receive from humans?
■ Or do you honor the Son by giving Him that which He in fact requires of you — asks that you do if you love Him?

Which is it? undecided

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.
The same Jesus Christ said that those who do what He commands are those who belong to Him.
So why then do you praise Jesus Christ, against His own decree, yet believe yourself to be of Him? undecided

Do you yourself have any idea of what you quoted and posted? undecided

John 5 (KJV)
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
⁴⁰ And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.
⁴¹ I receive not honour from men.
⁴² But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.
⁴³ I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.
⁴⁴ How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only?

JESUS CHRIST never discouraged praising Him. This is another of your annoying and blatant lies.

Contrary to what you stated that JESUS CHRIST never asked anyone to praise Him, see what JESUS CHRIST said here:

Luke 19 (KJV)
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
³⁸ Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.
³⁹ And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples.
⁴⁰ And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.

Meanwhile, JESUS CHRIST said:
John 5 (KJV)
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
²² For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:
²³ 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.

Now, can you see why you're always on the opposite side of the Truth? undecided

You claimed JESUS CHRIST said He does not need honour/praise from men, yet JESUS CHRIST said you should honour(or praise) Him as your honour(praise) the FATHER!

The same Jesus Christ in John 14 vs 15 - 23 explained that those who love Him are those who do as He commands and He never commanded any man to praise Him with words— the only way to honor God is to live one's life in continuous submission and obedience to His teachings and commandments. So, what exactly are you trying so hard to argue? undecided

As for that written in Luke 19, those crying out are blessed is the King, read Jesus Christ's response to the similar blessing on his person in Luke 11 vs 27 - 28. Clearly, He does not desire your praises but rather intends for you to Obey His teachings and commandments - John 15 vs 14 undecided

Again, you are not making any sense.

Think on this, if the only way to honor/love the Son is by doing only that which the Son in fact commanded, and as it turns out the Son never, in fact, asked you to sing His praises, then surely you can see that it is meaningless to sing him praises. undecided

I hope you're not teaching anyone these your contorted, misquoted, false and wrongly explained doctrines!

JESUS CHRIST there simply stopped the woman from giving GLORY to Mary!!! grin grin grin

Oh my goodness!

If JESUS CHRIST truly does not want praises, He would have simply told the people praising and hailing Him at His entrance into Jerusalem TO STOP! But He didn't!! Rather He replied that, if they stop, the stones will cry out!

1. And the same Son told you how to honor the Son did He not in John 14 vs 15 -23? Explaining further in John 15 vs 1 - 15 that it is by honoring Him — doing as He commands of you — that you then Honor even His Father and are then loved by His Father. All this means is that you do not get any extra points or bonus points by praising him. So, what exactly is your confusion in this? undecided

2. Seems you need to start using your mind more and stop with those bible lectures.

Jesus Christ did not stop the woman from shouting praises at Mary, rather He informed the woman that God's blessings in His Kingdom belong instead to those who live their lives in submission and obedience to His teachings and commandments.
■ Jesus's coming as the King of Israel was prophesied by the prophets where it was not against God to have the King hailed, and as such He had no reason to stop the people there. Many of those people who hailed Him were probably among those who stoned Him as He walked to the cross days later
■ To His followers, Jesus Christ made clear that He did not desire praises from humans meaning that they did not need to hail Him but rather were best doing as He commanded of them instead.

■ Jesus's coming as the King of Israel was prophesied by the prophets where it was not against God to have the King hailed, and as such He had no reason to stop the people there. Many of those people who hailed Him were probably among those who stoned Him as He walked to the cross days later
■ To His followers, Jesus Christ made clear that He did not desire praises from humans meaning that they did not need to hail Him but rather were best doing as He commanded of them instead.

Your error, ignorance and arrogance will not let you learn always!

“If ye love me, keep my commandments.”
— John 14:15 (KJV)


“If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love.”
— John 15:10 (KJV)



Where did JESUS CHRIST say, Do not praise Me here? undecided

You keep misquoting the Bible ignorantly and arrogantly!!!!

JESUS CHRIST said there that men do not honour Him and not Men should not honour Him!!!

Can't you understand the passage!!!? undecided
Why can't you understand the phrase in the statement?


I receive not honour from men means men are not honoring Him when they should have.
I request not honour from men means He is not asking men to honour Him.
I do not want honour from men means He does not want men to honour Him.

Why can't you understand the difference!?


And YES! JESUS CHRIST stopped the woman from giving glory unto Mary, and making her and all the people realize what they are to know, which is, “But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.”
— Luke 11:28 (KJV)



And it was nowhere in the Bible written that people cast stones at JESUS CHRIST on His way to be crucified. undecided

1. I actually should be the one asking you, from what you have posted where is Jesus Christ written to have said that you should praise Him. undecided

2. It seems you are again projecting your confusion onto me here. I clearly explained in my earlier post that Jesus Christ did not stop anyone from praising him rather He corrected them that the better way to do such is to submit to and obey His teachings and commandments. What is written in John 5 vs 41 amounts to Jesus Christ saying something like, "You do not get points(bonus or none) from me in the Kingdom of God if you praise me with your words as the only way to honor me is to obey my teachings and commandments." undecided

By the way, you cannot ignore the context on this one.
