Greetings brethren
Here's the summary of what I learnt from Brother Eli's teachings
I learnt the kind of sins, that there's a sin unto death and a sin that is not unto death. If a person commit a sin that is not unto death unknowingly, and we pray for him/her God may forgive him.
1 John 5:16
16:If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it.
In a true church we a person commit a grevious sin, he is expelled from the church so that the whole wouldn't be defiled.If a sin is grevious and unto death we would be expelled from the church.
Titus 3:10-11
10:A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject;
11:Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself.
Here's some sin against the Holy spirit we should abstain from as they are unforgivable by God.
We should abstain from meat offered to idols. Idols are images created and caved by men using silver, gold fibre, plastic or wood(oak and cypresses).
Psalm 115:5-8
5:They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not:
6:They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not:
7:They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat.
8:They that make them are like unto them; so is every one that trusteth in them.
Idolatry is an abomination unto God.
1Peter4:3
3:For the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and abominable idolatries:
Like what the Catholics do(kneeling before a creature of Mary).
Romans 1;25
25:Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever.Amen.
Also offering food to idols and eating food offered to idols is a grevious sin as it can affect our conscience and defile our spirit. Example is eating fruit that has been offered to Buddha or food offered to Muslim god(Allah). We should always be careful of whatever we eat taking note of signs of the things we eat. Example Argentina corn beef and Mc Donald's kosher.
Acts 10;14
10:But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean.
Ezekiel 4;14
14:Then said I, Ah Lord God! behold, my soul hath not been polluted: for from my youth up even till now have I not eaten of that which dieth of itself, or is torn in pieces; neither came there abominable flesh into my mouth.
I Corinthians 8:7
7:Howbeit there is not in every man that knowledge: for some with conscience of the idol unto this hour eat it as a thing offered unto an idol; and their conscience being weak is defiled.
I was also clarified that there's a difference between Muslim god and Christian God of the Holy Bible. As our God begat His Son Jesus Christ.
Psalm 2:7
I will declare the decree: the Lord hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.
John 1;18
No man hath seen God at any time, the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.
Hebrews 1:5
For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?
John 1:1-3,14
1:In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2:The same was in the beginning with God.
3:All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
14:And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
We should not eat blood because it is highly prohibited to eat blood. Blood is sacred unto God(a Holy thing). Blood is given for an atonement of souls. That was what Christ used to clean the sins of men.
Hebrews 9:22
Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry.
Acts 20:28
Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.
Genesis 9:3-4
3:Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things.
4:But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.
When eating meat, we should pour the blood in the ground, cover it with dust, don't cook it with food and eat.
Leveticus 17:13
13:And whatsoever man there be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, which hunteth and catcheth any beast or fowl that may be eaten; he shall even pour out the blood thereof, and cover it with dust.
We should not eat animals that died off themselves as the blood did not come out.
Lastly we should avoid fornication as true Christians. We should flee from fornication, it is a great sin and a sin against our own body.
I Corinthians 6:16-18
16:What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh.
17:But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.
18:Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.
Also kneeling before false God is fornication and joining wrong religion is fornication (feast, procession, different activities of wrong religion) as our spouse is Jesus Christ.
Revelation 17:2,5-6,18
2:With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.
5:And upon her forehead was a name written, Mystery, Babylon The Great, The Mother Of Harlots And Abominations Of The Earth.
6:And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.
18:And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.
II Corinthians 11:2:For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.
In all we avoid meat offered to idols
Blood
Things strangled
Fornication
Speaking blasphemy.
Thanks be to God.
Hello brethren, it is good if we can answer these 3 simple questions when doing our hive post.
