And the scriptures is supposed to turn me to a jew?

You are talking about another thing generally. I m not talking about having all the scripture in your head. Its about applying the ones you know.

The scripture is "All encompass". My point is that you can't talk about holy spirit without falling in love with the word of God. Its like saying you love to swim yet you don't like going near swimming pool.

What is the definition of prayer?
Nobody can pray through without using God's word. Not until you quote chapter and verses.

ur last line is very wrong...i said it in my previous post, u can pray without quoting d scriptures. its gud if u can quote d scriptures while praying but bro, not everyone quotes d scriptures while praying and their prayers hav always been answered! i have said it b4, a pure and sincere heart is far better than quoting d whole scriptures...happy sunday to u

Highcuerayte:
By your idea of using scripture i think the very first sentence of my post is a scripture. Don't you agree

Barywhyte:



Absolutely!! No other standard. None. That reminds me of Nicolaitan deeds in Rev 2. The genesis of Roman Catholic Church

femi4:
lolz, it will give you better understanding. E.g ROM 1:16
For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile.

[b]THE FIRST AND MOST IMPORTANT MISCONCEPTION WHICH ALL READERS OF THIS THREAD NEED TO BEAR IN MIND IS THAT THE IDEA OF GOD IS FABRICATED. THERE IS NO CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE FOR GOD'S EXISTENCE. FREE YOURSELVES FROM THIS AGE LONG COLONIAL MENTALITY. THE EUROPEANS WHO BROUGHT CHRISTIANITY TO AFRICA NO LONGER BELIEVE IN THIS TRASH. MOST CHURCHES IN EUROPE HAVE BEEN CONVERTED TO PUBS AND CLUBS. OTHERS HAVE BECOME HINDU TEMPLES. EVEN TWO WEEKS AGO, JUSTIN WELBY, THE ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY (THE NO.1 CLERIC IN THE WORLDWIDE ANGLICAN CHURCH) CLAIMS, IN A PRESS INTERVIEW, THAT HE DOUBTS IF GOD EXISTS. OTHERWISE, WHY DOES THIS IMAGINARY GOD ALLOW EVIL IN THE WORLD (AN ISSUE FREQUENTLY DISCUSSED WITHIN THEOLOGICAL DISCOURSE OF THEODICY OR "THE PROBLEM OF EVIL". NIGERIA WOULD NEVER MOVE FORWARD UNTIL NIGERIANS JOIN THE ENLIGHTENMENT BAND WAGON. IT IS SCIENCE AND KNOWLEDGE THAT ACCOUNT FOR GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT IN EUROPE AND NORTH AMERICA AND NOT RELIGION. UNTIL WE ABANDON RELIGION FOR THE ENLIGHTENMENT, NIGERIA AND THE REST OF AFRICA WOULD REMAIN UNDERDEVELOPED.[/b]
Brother if only u knw how wrong u are! Don't be deceived there is God. And believing in God is not wht is keeping Africans behind, but hypocrisy and gross wickedness. Even though the western world may not regard going to church, but their system is open and fair. Plus, they don't joke with justice.
I don't knw wht informed u to think there is no God. So the number of times I hv prayed and asked God for a specific thing, and it happened the way I hv prayed it, who answered tht prayers? Or whr they coincidence?
One thing is tht u won't knw or feel d existence of God unless u humble urself, lead a pure life(this one is especially important, blessed are the pure in heart for they shall God) and ask God to reveal himself to u. It's not just by reading the bible bt leading a pure life. I'm sure we hv born again professors of physics and engineering, who hv encountered God n are convinced. I don't knw if u r a professor, even if u r wht hv u bn able to invent to help humanity, ur country?

Highcuerayte:
I don't think there should be argument about using Scriptures in my post. If you find anything contradicting the Scriptures in it you talk.

And one thing i will like to clear is, I do not say you don't need the Bible i only said "There is no need inserting scriptures to my writings"

There are levels of Faith. There are believers who don't pray in the morning afternoon or evening but with their Faith they believe God hears their spirits before they think about their needs even when Jesus command them to ask. And they are blessed more than those that follows the letters to the core. Should we say these people are wrong?

So if i write without inserting Scriptures i do that with Faith.

If you want a writing repleted with scriptures you draft one yourself.

femi4:
yes I agree, but you know when teaching, you all be dealing with different kind of people. That is why its good to use every method possible: parables, scriptures etc

femi4:
I said not until you quote scripture

olu4life:
Vook and the other guy has said it all.

By the way, Mr op, where did u get the perception that praise and worship is same? All u wrote under worship, stating dancing and all is Praise and not WORSHIP.

I also notice u not open to correction. Recheck yourself pls, don't let pride get the better part of u. God bless

Thank you

Highcuerayte:
Inserting Scriptures right?

See brother, I do my job the Spirit does his. I write the Spirit make people understand.

How will repleting my writing with Scriptures make people understand?

The Scripture don't make people understand things of the Spirit, the Spirit does.

kay29000:
Why is everything about END TIMES these days? Could we really be in the end times? Hmm!

Highcuerayte:
Corrections you say? They are not bro.

You said Praise is not worship, didn't you? Ask yourself why is mr vooks not asking you for Scriptures to back it up why he asked me for it. Could it mean Mr Vooks believes you without the Scriptures?

Think about it bro, i believe you are a wise person. I won't say more than that.

jigabanty:

If u can't back up ur speech with the WORD OF GOD(bible reference), then ur speech is not from GOD

vooks:


I went for the source. This is your baseless rant and you can't support any of what you said with scriptures even if your life depended on it. That's why I came to you. I expect the same of everyone but I don't have to demand the same from everyone at the same time

Highcuerayte:
Even when it doesn't contradict the Scriptures?

Highcuerayte:
Read yourself again Mr Vooks.

Highcuerayte:
Brethren and family of God, i greet you all in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, who loves us and gave himself for us,an everlasting redemption. As we all understand and see before us today, the glaring evidence of the times of the end out of which is the readiness to believe lies and the tendency to tell these lies,a grotesque distortion of truth, by our so called men of God. Perhaps, God of men.

I find it then a neccessity and as well,a great importance to open our eyes to these lies being told to rob us of the Truth. These lies, in various degrees, on the surface might seem "contemporary" harmless but nevertheless its end result,collectively, are objectively destructive.

Here are few, I have noticed in Nigeria as a Nigerian.


3. Faith: Sparkled many confusion. Alterations has been made several times. Each to suit his purpose.End result, collectively are similar. No word I surnized as suffered abused than the word Faith. Pastor prayed for you and the prayer is not answered pastor will shift the blame on you saying you don't have faith. Whereas Faith is simply Trusting God.

My writings don't need scriptural insertion bro. Anyone that read will have the appropriate Scriptures imprinted on their mind.

Highcuerayte:
For example, i said Faith is simply trusting God. This you will agree with me is a clause from a hundred verses from the Bible. I can't be quoting them one after the other. The closeness is Heb 11, Matthew 7, the Psalms and all.

Look at my explanation on worship, in a part i said "To worship is to serve God, serving God you do so with your spirit." You will agree with me this agree with the words of Christ that says "Worship in Spirit and Truth." Again i wrote, "Living sacrifice" and this agrees with Paul where he said "Present your body as a living sacrifice for this is the true worship" again i wrote of "Law of the Spirit" You can see romans 8 imprinting on your mind.

I can go on and on to point out all the hidden scriptures in my post. I just felt like as believers we ought to have had our train to recognize Truth.

Highcuerayte:
There has been misplaced emphasis after the demise of the Apostles. Instead of resting on the Spirit we are resting on the word like the word give the understanding and power. The Apostle spoke explicitly on various things not written in the OT yet the believers understand what they are saying without a Scripture to justify it from the OT because the Spirit is alive in them and they depend on him. There was no Bible in the early church yet they understand all.


However, the time has come to restore the emphasis on The Spirit rather than the written word. Time to live by the Spirit instead of Living by the written word.
