IF YOU ARE WILLING Matthew 8:1-3 NKJV 1 When He had come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed Him. 2 And behold, a leper came and worshiped Him, saying, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.” 3 Then Jesus put out His hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing; be cleansed.” Immediately his leprosy was cleansed. LESSONS FROM THIS SHORT STORY Jesus was coming with multitudes when the Leper met Him. 1. First of all, the Leper was not intimidated by the crowd. In the midst of the multitude, he found his way to Jesus and he worshiped Him. No matter what your environmental condition may be (pleasant condition and unpleasant conditions), always worship God. 2. In those days, people with leprosy are seen as sinners. This particular leper in the story recognised himself as a sinner. Even as a sinner, he worshiped the Lord of host by diligently seeking His help for healings. "Lord, If you are willing You can make me clean" he knows that Jesus has authority over everything, so this is an opportunity for him to be saved if Jesus is willing. Therefore no matter how sinful you are or what your condition may be, the Lord is willing to help you if you also recognize His ability to save. 3. Our God is a Merciful God. If you humble yourself before him and you diligently seek His face, He will answer you and put an end to your sorrows. Behold, the Lord ’s hand is not shortened, That it cannot save; Nor His ear heavy, That it cannot hear. But your iniquities have separated you from your God; And your sins have hidden His face from you, So that He will not hear. Isaiah 59:1-2 NKJV PRAYER Dear Lord we thank You for the opportunity You gave us to learn great lessons from this wonderful story. We know You love us and we know You are always willing to help us. We humbly seek Your face this hour, Dear Lord, please heal our lands, please heal our sickness and please have mercy upon us. We know You are willing to help us, its our sin that's always separating us from Your love, please forgive us. Thank you Lord for answered prayers. In Jesus name we pray. Amen!!!

That's why you don't read your Bible. I'll put you in my prayers.... The spirit of unbelief will not take you to hell I pray. For me I believe in the truth Lilbrown007: |

oluamid:Oga,go back to your history...you are misinforming folks. The Protestant never wrestled the Bible /Church away from Roman Catholic... ever heard of the 99 Thesis? Go through that to have a clearer understanding of church history out you can find the book the two Babylons by Alexander Hislop to get yourself educated on some issues.... now concerning understanding the Bible, try to comprehend my submissions in my earlier posts... ever wondered the need for revelation? there are things that you cannot read the Bible as any other literature... + GOD reveals himself to babes, the meek, the true heart seeking Knowledge...never was it said special powers were needed, save for a man to humble his heart before his maker to want to know about HIM |

musicwriter: Are you for real? I have taken time this morning to read through comments on this thread. Some actually made me laugh, some left me wondering where people buy ideas from, some made my eyes bulge out in utter amazement, some got me nodding but in yours, I got a mix of all these reactions! Guy, seriously? Like I don't even know where to start from with this post of yours! I think we may need to take it line by line or sentence by sentence. How is it that you wrote some really good stuff with scriptural backing yet explain the stuff the way you feel like... what is judgement on your dying bed when you judge yourself by yourself to know whether you deserve a wireless transition into the great beyond? Mehn! that's the height of sarcasm! Is that what the Bible teaches or is that what science suggests? Please, shed some light my way. Thanks. |
Re: The Christian Doctrine Of Salvation And The World's Religions by thorpido(m): 11:53am On May 30, 2016 |
amicable09:Some of these guys just revel in their imaginations.Imagine judging yourself on your death bed? I guess he must be into doctrines like the grail message. |
Re: The Christian Doctrine Of Salvation And The World's Religions by amicable09(f): 12:18pm On May 30, 2016 |
thorpido:Lol. I tell you! Even though I've read some Grail message stuff, none has ever prepared me for this shocker These days people just read junks from everywhere and swallow hook, line and sinker. Too much 'information' flying around. And to think he attached a science video to his post is even funny, I am so not able to marry his faith/belief with the science telepathy thing. Hopefully, he'll explain when he comes online |

TheFirstLady: It's good you've agreed that the bible was copied from Mesopotamian writings. As for the first man on earth vis a vis Adam, please refer to fossils of prehistoric animals and plants. I bet you'll also argue that the earth is 6000 years old. |
Re: The Christian Doctrine Of Salvation And The World's Religions by musicwriter(m): 6:38pm On May 30, 2016 |
amicable09: 1. If you've already concluded the bible is the only authority on God, then that post isn't for you. 2. The given video explained all according to science, and it's the same thing I said. Again, note that's not popular culture science, but suppressed science they don't want you to know. Moreover, you have to be really deep spiritually to understand my point of view, else it would make no sense to you- 1 Corinthians 2:14. |
Re: The Christian Doctrine Of Salvation And The World's Religions by amicable09(f): 6:45am On May 31, 2016 |
musicwriter:When did you start becoming spiritually deep? I quoted you because I want to learn. Science now is an alternate authority to God? I thought they were so different that reconciling both amounts to futility. How is it then that culture science has something to say about God and about judgement? Back to your first post I quoted, you really mean Jesus never went to the temple? I didn't quite understand that part in your post. I actually thought his intention to keep his father's house (a house of prayer) free from money changers and those who turned it to a place of buying and selling was because the temple meant something to him... just thinking so. If you don't mind, explain these things to me. My mind is open. |

johnydon22:Lovely stuff. I was thinking about these lines this morning, this occurred to me, and I thought to bare my thoughts: We are the most important part of the cosmos from our frame of reference. From your frame of reference, the universe ends when you're dead. Someone might say it is not a very objective way to look at it. That it's exactly how the universe did not end after the extinction of the dinosaurs. And the person will be right. Yes, it is indeed very objective. Else we will find ourselves dealing with the infinitely large picture of what's more important. If it's not us, and it's not all living things, and it's not earth, and it's not our solar system, neither is it the Milky Way, we'll get to a point where even the universe as we know it is not important enough... Then what if there's something beyond the universe? So what's important? |
Re: The Christian Doctrine Of Salvation And The World's Religions by johnydon22(m): 8:12am On May 31, 2016 |
joseph1013: Importance is a child of the mind, an idea of the mind in direct quantification of things and how they affect it/him/her. A banana is more important to a monkey than gold but to us gold is more so. So importance as a child of distinct minds is subjective as this subjectivity limits importance to the mundane sphere of the mind that conceives it, it doesn't reach to become a universal truth. Nature happens irrespective of what a 'mind' finds important or not therefore there is no 'importance' generally attached to any particular thing in nature following natural manifestations broadly. there is no V.I.P seat for anything in nature or the cosmos. . we all are doomed for the same fate and somehow directly or indirectly dependent on each other. So for a mind to conceive the idea of importance over how things affect him is clearly fine as long as it is within the confines of his interactive sphere. Like chimps deem themselves more important than us. But for one to make his/her idea of importance a 'universal' quantification is plain out flat delusion. The question "so what is important" then begs another "From whose judgement of importance? " 1 Like 1 Share |

amicable09: Unfortunately, you assume science contradicts believe in God which is the popular culture posture. With that mindset it would be difficult you understanding me. Be informed....... Science does not contradict believe in God. Neither does believe in God contradict science. Science was founded by people who believed in God!. The people that laid the foundation of science all believed in God; Isaac Newton, Galileo, Tesla, Pythagoras, Dimitri Mendeleev. Jesus didn't believe in religion, rather, he was spiritual- I can't help you, if you can't fathom spiritual people are the true believers in God and not church or mosque goers. This's why he was against the synagogue (church) and religious leaders and practises of his time. And that's why he went fighting in the church, because he believed he knew better about God than religious people. That's ultimately why religious people (including his own community) considered him an outlaw and a misfit and worked hand-in-hand with Roman colonial masters to kill him. Jesus didn't believe tithes should be paid. He didn't even believe that Abraham who've been there before and was revered by all was superior spritual person to him. That's exactly why he was hated by the authorities. Jesus didn't believe a single thing the synagogue (church) believed. In fact, he called church people hypocrites. Jesus was killed by church goers!!. |

The Bible says that God is not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance. Concerning the question the op raised. What happens to countless billions that are adherents of other religions? The truth is that even Christian religion does not save. Salvation is through faith in the finished work of Christ on Calvary. No matter the religion you belong to, virtually everyone on earth has heard about Jesus and his claims. If you take your eternal destiny serious, you will study to find out the truth. So many adherents of the Islamic faith are now born again because they took time to study. They compared the Quran and the Bible and reached the conclusion that Jesus is the saviour. My brothers and friends, it is not about numbers. It could even be trillions of souls trooping to hell. God did not send them there. They made their choice. Even so many of us reading this thread are still gambling with their salvation. God has done all he has to do to redeem mankind. He sent his only Son, Jesus to die for the sins of the world. Every wise person should embrace this great offer. Receive Jesus as your Lord and personal Saviour and be saved. Religion cannot save. Not even Christian religion. So all adherents of other religions including Christian religion that has not accepted Jesus as their Lord and personal Saviour will all perish in hell no matter their numbers. The choice is yours. |

@omenka this response is late though. As regards to your question, an event that will change the course of history is RAPTURE. Many will not believed now, But when rapture occurs and people start disappearing without cause, then it will come to the knowledge of human race that what Bible and Christian are talking about has happen. Hence, people will start believing in Jesus, and will be saved at his second coming, but some will still perish as a result of accepting the mark of the beast 666 |
Re: The Christian Doctrine Of Salvation And The World's Religions by Nobody: 3:04pm On Jul 05, 2017 |
All that they do is but CONJECTURE. That's what the comments here are all about. Very fascinating how when you ask for PROOF and what you get is EXPLANATIONS built on ANALOGIES which are ALWAYS FAULTY in the first place. |
Re: The Christian Doctrine Of Salvation And The World's Religions by Nobody: 4:05pm On Jul 05, 2017 |
Kondomatik:Then religious belief no longer serves any purpose. Christ becomes irrelevant. Muhammed becomes irrelevant. All that matters are your deeds, since an atheist can also live by that rule. So, by this logic, an atheist that lives a blameless life is going to heaven. What then is the point of Jesus' sacrifice on the cross, since you DON'T have to be a Christian to be saved. When you think about it, you realise these Abrahamic religions need to claim to be the only way to paradise if they must make sense. If you truly believe ONLY deeds matter, then start preaching this to all Christians and watch many abandon Christ. But of course, no one will listen to you, since the vast majority do not share this unorthodox view. Your code for salvation overthrows Christ and destroys his relevance. |

johnydon22: To be very honest with you from the very bottom of my heart this question i am about to ask you is not for the sake of arguement as it is the culture here on this section which I stopped patronizing long ago (not active) because of the LUNACY and FANATISM exhibited here. People are not here to increase in knowlegde so OBDURATE. So, what i seek is an ENLIGHTENMENT and which is, IF YOURSELF CLAIM NOT TO HAVE KNOWLEDGE ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS IN DEATH. Meaning that you are IGNORANT of what happens in death (after-life). Then is it based upon this IGNORANCE that you have charged persons or books who claim to know as LIARS and FRAUDULENT. Isnt that a mutually destructive assertion, your charge since yourself DONT KNOW WHAT HAPPENS AT DEATH, (actually after death as the topic suggest) hence a mere SPECULATION that they are LIARS and FRAUDULENT. For if its from the stand point of your KNOWLEDGE "i know" what happens at death and not IGNORANCE then your evidences presented as to what you KNOW AS THE TRUTH which happens at death (after death) becomes a VALID charge as to these persons to declaring them as LIARS or these books being FRAUD. Is it the fact that there are multiple conflicting tales about what happens at death that makes them all LIES and FRAUDULENT? My main point really is should DISQUALIFICATION come from the stand point of "I know" KNOWLEDGE Or "I dont know" IGNORANCE. If yourself dont know what happens at death then how do you know that they are all LYING or at least one of these tales is not the TRUTH which with the fleeting of time and advancement in Science and Technology could make CERTAINTY of their claims or actually prove them all wrong as ABSOLUTELY FALSE like so many claims in the realms of religion have been proven true and untrue based on EMPIRICAL KNOWLEDGE with the fleeting of time. Please enlighten me on how you came to conclude, charging persons and books who claim to know as Liars while you yourself dont have the knowledge of what happens at DEATH as to be able to counters their claims. How did you come about this charge? |
