Bro Eli taught us that we have two types of sin in the bible one unto death and sin that is not unto death. If our brother commit a sin that is not unto death he can be pray for and forgiven but if it is a sin unto death he should not be pray for because we praying for him is an act of disobedience towards God instead he should be cast away to avoid contaminating others but it is a pity that some men of God did not do that because of the fat donation some of them give. He also teach us that we have five types of sin unto death one is speaking and the other four is an act.
This are the five types of sin unto death
- Blaspheming the holy spirit (speaking)
- Eating meat offer to idols(act)
- Eating blood (act)
- Engaging in fornication (act)
- Eating things that are stranded.(act)
Blaspheming the holy spirit is speaking hash words towards the holy spirit. He also made us understand that bowing down is not an act of respect so we should not be deceive as some bow down to Mary or statue made of her claiming they are showing respect.
It is a very wrong act because it is the same as worshipping idols even Mary herself did not want anyone to worship her and we should not be deceive that without her Jesus will not come to earth. God can use anybody to bring his son to the world and bro Eli use seahorse as an example that it is the male that give birth and not the female.
Bro Eli also caution us about eating food offer to idols and how to identify them. I learn that fruit and any other things can be offered to idols depending on the location but most of the time animals are mostly used. We should not be deceive that we and the Muslim are serving the same God, no there God is different from ours and we should not eat in their meat. If we travel to a new place and and we want to buy anything especially meat we should be alert of the different logos place on them and their meaning, if we don't know the meaning and there is no way to find out we should eat fish because fish cannot be offered to idols.
We should avoid eating animals that die on their own or stranded ones because it is a sin and when we want to kill an animal we should dig the ground a little and put the blood inside it and cover it with dust. If the blood is been collected in a sausage pan and it is been eaten the meat has been contaminated. Those of us that go to the market, point at a life chicken and paid someone to kill and remove the feathers in the market should be observant as to how the blood is been handled especially me I don't even bother to check must time how the blood is been handled because I don't like watching or killing animals but now I no better that it is as important as checking maybe the feathers is been removed properly.
The teaching continue today by 12pm Nigeria time join us and be blessed.
