Like I said, it's not always taken to mean physical offspring. It actually has six individual definitions:
seed, sowing, offspring
Pulling Gen. 4:25 as the only example of how it's used is not only incorrect, but disingenuous.
- a sowing
- seed
- semen virile
- offspring, descendants, posterity, children
- of moral quality
- a practitioner of righteousness (fig.)
- sowing time (by meton)
Well, my belief is that God the Father is not the God of this world, but that's another story. Basically, the process of mankind's redemption is to both remove the god of this world (Satan) and give it to Jesus.
Context matters. This is not the Bible talking about itself here.
idk bro i just dont think were all the same
i do believe some of us are hebrews, some but not all
theres history of african muslims and other spiritual beliefs too
He's a 'Sacred Namer', breh. He believes that Hebrew doesn't use/have the 'J' sound.
Guess he's never spoken to any Sephardic Jews......
Everythingg said:But no, the J sound did not exist around the time of Moses.
Everythingg said:Except they didnt refuse to worship anything else.
Everythingg said:1. Not really. If he wasnt Hebrew, then it doesnt matter what "date" he came up with
Everythingg said:2. No matter your ducking, the point is there is no reason to believe he "legitimately" came up with the date when people were celebrating their pagan holidays on or around that date BEFORE he "legitimately" came up with the date.
Lamar Givens said:This whole secret name foolishness he is talking is pure babble, and has no historical basis.
I am not familiar with the sacred namer's, but yes, it appears whatever teaching he has received is off base, and is in contradiction with revealed history. What makes it even worse, he comes across as very esoteric as if he has the hidden mysteries. God doesn't make it difficult for those who want to know him. He reveals himself freely to those who seek him. This whole secret name foolishness he is talking is pure babble, and has no historical basis.
The Sacred Name Movement (SNM) is a movement within the Church of God (Seventh-Day) in Christianity, propagated by Clarence Orvil Dodd from the 1930s, which claims that it seeks to conform Christianity to its "Hebrew Roots" in practice, belief and worship. The best known distinction of the SNM is its advocacy of the use of the "sacred name" Yahweh (יַהְוֶה), i.e. the reconstructed proper name of the God of Israel, and the use of the original Hebrew name of Jesus), often transcribed as Yahshua.[1] SNM believers also generally keep many of the Old Testament laws and ceremonies such as the Seventh-day Sabbath, Torah festivals and kosher food laws.
I have a few acquaintances who are Seventh Day Adventists. I will have to talk to them about this and get more info about this position.
However, I have no idea if this is what this cat @Everythingg is talking about.
False.
True and what happened to them as a result is ANOTHER reason they refused to worship anything else in the 1st Century CE......~1400 years later.
Yes, really. Whether or not he was Hebrew has NOTHING to do with recording facts of history.
An African historian recording European history may be biased, but that doesn't mean the FACTS are in-dispute.
That 'criticism' has as much validity as claiming that Christians' day of worship is due to pagan influence simply because all the days of the week were named after pagan gods BEFORE the establishment of the religion.
Only person ducking....is YOU.
Matthew 13
10 And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?
11 He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
Whats your excuse now? Because this CLEARLY establishes that the truth isnt for EVERYONE. And it might not be for you which is why you STILL havent addressed Deuteronomy 28 fitting blacks or the fact that Iesous and Jesus meaning NOTHING while the Hebrew name meant something. Heres one more for you to show that MOST of yall arent going to get the truth. Even when its told to you plainly as I told you:
Matthew 7
13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
Wait what? Few will even find the gate to LIFE? Just face it, you have a watered down faith where you pay it great lip service (I assume) but when faced with the tough stuff, you hide. Just like you did when I pointed out Peter said ONE name, while you had three in your hand that were pronounced, spelled and meant DIFFERENT things (with the 2 greek/english not meaning anything at all).. I like to keep these things amicable and peaceful, because we are BOTH to humans trying to find our way thru life. But YOU started demeaning me for seeing differently than you. And Im not ONE you can do that to breh
Do these guys believe that the blacks who came on slaveships are Israelites? Nope. So we cant share the same faith. But thats the thing. You cant discuss the topics I brought up so you deflect, name call, pretend you're intellectually superior, or even now, try to put me in a box. But the fat is, that YOU go by the cac's interpretation of black scriptures which is why you're lost and cant keep up. Thats why you use the names they do, and have the beliefs they do. You lost breh...
All of this drivel you just posted, and MISINTERPRETATION of the scriptures describes why you are lost, and have no idea what you are talking about.
Quoting scriptures out of context does not strengthen your position.
If any man or woman truly desires to seek God, He will not hide his face from them.
You are the one with the pompous attitude and mindset that you are superior. Furthermore, God is a God of love, and heaven is not reserved for Blacks only. Heaven will be filled with all of God's people that HE CREATED. However, that is a portion of scripture you need to study up on because it is evident you are full of hate.
You are lost.
John 9:41
"Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth."
Let that burn slow like ether...
Posting smilies doesnt mean anything. You say something about secret and "Jesus" says he spoke in parables to keep the meaning away from the GENERAL PUBLIC. Right after speaking to the GENERAL PUBLIC, his disciples ask him why does he speak in parables and he says "because to them the mysteries of heaven are not given, but to you it is" and all you have is lame excuses and smilies to answer? From the same breh who was complaining about "dialogue" earlier in the thread?
That is the entire point I am making. You sound like a Pharisee. You are pretending to hold the TRUTH as the Pharisees did, and Jesus rebuked them for it.
You claim that you have this particular knowledge about the Most High, but from your posts you demonstrate, just as the Pharisees, that you are blind.
I have specifically addressed your points one by one, and because you have no FACTUAL ANSWERS you continue to tell me what I think, and what I know.
I have pointed out your contradictions and falsities ONE BY ONE as well as other posters in this thread, but you can continue to believe that the entire world and WHITES are out to get you, and that you posses the hidden/secret name of the Most High.
You are the one who does not want dialogue. You want to tell others they are wrong, and that you posses the truth. You have been contradicted with EVIDENCE.
Your position is heretical, and I as well as others have exposed it.
