So in your mind, based on that out of context (again!) set of verses you have just showed us, New Testament Christians are commanded by Jesus to perform Levitical Sacrifices, Observe Jewish Holidays and rituals, do ritual washing and cleansing and slaughter goats to take away their sins? A little knowledge is a dangerous thing, my friend. I suggest you read the Bible cover to cover instead of regurgitating the few smatterings of verses you have been fed out of context by your spiritual leaders because if you do not understand the basics of the Christian faith it is impossible to have a coherent debate on the issues with you - on matters Biblical especially.

Jesus pbuh never ate swine as taught in Leviticus 11:7, (Vyakula Najisi) - BWANA akawaambia Mose na Aroni, "Waambie Waisraeli: lakini hao kamwe msiwale. Naye nguruwe ingawa anazo kwato zilizogawanyika sehemu mbili, lakini hacheui, ni najisi kwenu. Kamwe msile nyama yao wala kugusa mizoga yao, wao ni najisi kwenu.

Jesus said in Matthew 5:17-18 that: "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets..."

Obi but this is the same thing the prophets of Baal said to Elijah. They alluded that their god was the real deal and all other gods were nonsense. Elijah told them he served the living God and challenged them to a duel. Slaughter an animal place it on an altar and call upon your god to burn up the carcass with a fire from heaven. The prophets of Baal accepted the duel and jumped around like madmen and even slashed themselves until they bled sore, calling upon Baal to heed their prayers. Wapi? Nothing happened. Elijah mocked them telling them their god must be asleep or on vacation! He then ordered the carcass to be drenched wet with loads of water, prayed to God and fire dropped from heaven and not only consumed the carcass and alter but the pools of water dry! That in essence is what God is telling you. Test your own gods to see if they are the real deal or not. When he sent his Son down to do signs and wonders such as raising people from the dead, walking on water and so on, by these signs he was showing He was the true God. The Judaists and the Ishmaelites will have no problems agreeing that God performed signs and wonders through Moses in getting the Israelites out of Pharaoh's clutch. Amazingly, despite this, they find it difficult to believe God's Son did everything he did and even rose from the dead to save all who believe. When Paul preached to the whole of the city of Athens at Mars Hill about the sermon about the unknown god, he said the exact same thing in Acts 17:29-31:

“Therefore since we are God’s offspring, we should not think that the divine being is like gold or silver or stone—an image made by human design and skill. 30 In the past God overlooked such ignorance, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent. 31 For he has set a day when he will judge the world with justice by the man he has appointed. He has given proof of this to everyone by raising him from the dead.”

So God - the creator of all we see- has made it crystal clear who He is and what He has done and what He demands. It is up to you and me to choose to either believe or reject this as his proof. If one rejects it and chooses to worship stones, idols, a man in the Arabian desert whose nation (if they continue to disbelieve) was cast out of God's kindgom in Genesis 21: 10-12, or an asian man under a banyan tree who promises reincarnation, they only have themselves to blame IMHO. Shalom

Alpha you are now going around in circles, have you read any of the Pauline letters explaining the matter or foods, rituals and the like? I think not. This is why your head is buried in the OT and unable to see beyond your nose on this matter. Shalom.

You as Christian better start believing in the Torah otherwise you should be straight and detest the OT and even rebuke it!

I do believe in the Old Testament, because all its promises were fulfilled in Christ That is the part that has escaped you completely

OT was all about promises of the Messiah to come (by the way you are shockingly silent about the issue of the Messiah, described in staggering detail in multiple books in the OT eg Isaiah, including what tribe he would be from, what city he would be born in, what he would do, how he would die etc etc) how come? . Everything in the OT points to Christ

NT is all about the FULFILLMENT of the OT promises. IN Christ all the requirements of the Mosaic Law were perfectly fulfilled.

At least with the Judaists their contention is said messiah is yet to come and was not Christ - that is their right.

As I told you many posts ago, unless you get this by reading the Bible (which you have been quoting out of context furiously) from cover to cover, you have missed the boat completely and any further debate with you is pointless. Let the non-theists come back, they are more enjoyable to tango with.

I told you we've been down this road before. We have been here since 2008. You just came to Wazua this year and you try to give us Christians conclusions. Conclusions must come from theories. And theories are always venerable for disproof. We have to test your theories against your witness the Bible to have a solid concrete ground.

You tried to peddle Trinity which is very weak and bogus! No GOD's religion taught trinity, not even Torah, and Injeel. The word "Trinity" does not even exist in the Bible! Trinity is a false interpretation resulting from the unfortunate exaggeration of "Godly" names given to Jesus and others in the Old Jewish Culture.

Jesus being called "son of God" does not make him Almighty God. David was called BEGOTTEN Son of GOD in Psalm 2:7 but that does not make him Almighty God. Even Satan was called "God" in 2 Corinthians 4:4 but he can never be Almighty God.

So bro get your facts correctly!

Now back to the atheists!

Please post the complete verse without truncating it and post the line you have chopped off in bold letters.

I just told it to you. Read my paragraph above very carefully for the answer



Hakuna kitu umesema hapa All these questions have been addressed in great detail by Biblical Historians. Like your friend in the video prating aimlessly about the "differences in geneaologies" in Matthew and Luke. That is simply because one author followed Mary's bloodline while the other followed Joseph's! But of course you do not know this so whatever some professor says in a podium makes sense to you. If you need resources to read ask and I will provide. Now let us deal with the SUBSTANCE that is in the gospels rather than matters long ago settled. Can you explain the PREDICTIVE HISTORICAL ACCURACY of Scripture from Genesis all the way to Matthew, with specific reference to Isaiah and Daniel? Asante in advance

Not so fast. I would like to hear your answers. You have a way of playing with the mind but it is not working on me.

Remember the central doctrine of Christianity is death and resurrection. As Paul said, "if Christ be not risen", then all will have been in vain. Why don't you answer my straightforward questions that hover around this central theme, then when you do so, I can consider how to write the thesis you have requested.
