Kingstanding:
. What you are saying now is that Jesus said we should curse our enemies isn't. Which kind of Christian are you? If the early Christian prayed that all their enemies should die, Can Apostle Paul will have the grace to write all the epistle he writes in the new testament? Believe it or not you too are enemy to someone,if we should pray that our enemies should die I believe there won't be anyone left again on earth. Lord Jesu forgive my enemies and give them the grace to know you more Amen.


Let me say thus again .
The enemies I pray against is Satan and his agents of darkness. This was part of my argument.

Jesus prayed for his enemies and prayed for Peter and other Apostles but did not pray for Judas Iscariot. Why?

Like what the devil is using Islam to do against Christianity and the world at large , are we to continue to pray for Islam to prosper in Nigeria. We can pray and should pray for ordinary Muslims but not Islam itself.

You can pray for your enemies but against the evil spirit inside him.You cannot pray for witches and wizards. But other enemies should be prayed for.

Why did Peter not pray for Anannais and Sapphira ?
Were they not enemies of the gospel which Satan wanted to exploit?

so it your duty to protect yourself. if God should remove His of protection on life, do you have the power to secure your life for one minute. please mind you say. there is power in the tongue

So you'd rather your neighbour kills you when you have a chance to defend or protect yourself than actually protect yourself?

Lol. Since God's protection is sufficient why do you sleep with your door closed? Why do you clamour for the president to engage the security forces to go after killer herdsmen? Isn't it a sin to kill? Won't the soldiers have committed a sin by killing the terrorist herdsmen for killing priests in Benue?

Maybe Buhari has exactly like your mindset. Why act when God's protection is enough!?

CAPSLOCKED:

ARE Y'ALL FROM CROATIA?

BECAUSE CHRISTIANS IN MY COUNTRY ARE ALWAYS PRAYING THAT THEIR ENEMIES DIE BY FIRE.

THEY BELIEVE ALL THEIR PROBLEMS ARE CAUSED BY THE ENEMIES (VILLAGE PEOPLE).

-OH, YOU DIDN'T DO TOO WELL IN YOUR EXAMS? BLAME IT ON THE ENEMIES.
-YOUR KID LEFT THE GAS COOKER ON AND IT LED TO A FIRE INCIDENT THAT BURNT DOWN THE HOUSE? THE ENEMIES AGAIN.
-YOU PAY LITTLE ATTENTION TO YOUR CAR AND NEGLECT THE VALUABLE PARTS.. BLAME IT ON THE ENEMIES WHEN YOUR TIRE BURSTS ON THE HIGHWAY.
-YOUR MARRIAGE IS SUFFERING BECAUSE OF PRIDE AND MISUNDERSTANDING? THE ENEMIES ARE AT WORK SURELY.
-YOU WOKE UP LATE AND MISSED AN IMPORTANT INTERVIEW? THE ENEMIES MADE YOU OVERSLEEP.
-YOU GOT EXPELLED FROM THE MINOR SEMINARY FOR EXAM MALPRACTICE? THE ENEMIES MADE YOU NOT TO STUDY AND SEDUCED YOU INTO CHEATING. THE ENEMIES WORSENED THE SITUATION BY USING THE ADMINS TO EXPEL YOU.

IN THIS COUNTRY EVERY BAD SITUATION IS THE WORK OF THE ENEMIES, AND "THAT OLD WIDOW IN THE VILLAGE".

JESUS TAUGHT CHRISTIANS TO LOVE AND PRAY FOR THEIR ENEMIES, BUT IN THIS COUNTRY EVERY CHRISTIAN IS PRAYING AGAINST HIS ENEMY, WHO HAPPENS TO BE THE NEXT CHRISTIAN WHO IS ALSO PRAYING AGAINST HIS ENEMIES -THE NEXT CHRISTIAN PRAYING AGAINST ENEMIES... AND IT GOES ON AND ON IN THIS CYCLE OF NONSENSE SUPERSTITIOUS BULLSHĮT.

not every situations it's natural my friend, but of course things become complicated when you can't tell the difference

How many people has that Satan destroyed?
How many people has God destroyed?

God destroyed from old testament to new testament to the real world and till date, he still destroys yet Satan is the devil and God is as clean as fvck.


You sir and your ilks are far from doing justice to your brains

How do you know the souls that are rebellious? God has destroyed virtually many things? Cain killed Abel and God was fine with it and even protected Cain. Fatricide began from here, the very beginning.

Cain fvcked his sister and God was also fine with it. Incestation began from the very beginning.

who told you God was fine with Cain killing Abel? everyone of us will be forgiven of our sins if we truly repent why still alive. every soul not acting in accordance with God can be destroyed anytime hence cases in the Bible. devil did not create man he entice man to sin against God the creator, hence be destroyed.

If he wasn't fine with it, how come God watched Cain kill abel without destroying Cain for it and even went far to protecting him. He protected him to the extent that he fvcked her sister and nothing still happened which means he was fine with whatever Cain did.

JesusSonOfGod:
Copied from CBN...

.. Did Olga love those who wronged her? Instead of asking prayer that the injured man be healed, Olga could have asked that God punish them for their wicked ways.

Would that have been a Christ-like attitude? No. What did Jesus do the night He was arrested and Peter cut off the ear of the high priest's slave? That slave was an enemy of Jesus, but Luke tells us, "But Jesus said, 'Enough of this!' He touched the man's ear and healed him" (Luke 22:51).

We want to be like Jesus who loved His enemies and forgave them. In Matthew 5:44 He said, "Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you." And again in Matthew 6:15, "If you do not forgive others, then your Father in heaven will not forgive the wrongs you have done."

Love is the greatest Christian virtue. First Corinthians 13:13 tells us, "Meanwhile these three remain: faith, hope, and love; and the greatest of these is love."

Christians should love God first. He will in turn put His love in our hearts so we can love both friends and enemies. "Jesus answered, 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind'" (Matthew 22:37).

"And now I give you a new commandment: love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another" (John 13:34). Memorize this verse and repeat it often, remembering that a believer's most important responsibility to God and to His fellowman is love.

Memory Verses
You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven.
- Matthew 5:43-45
pray for them to change from their evil way.

God created man has a free moral agent. why he did create man created man to be like him thus cannot interfere with the decisions of man, he only can judge but not interfere, that is why you see all kinds of unbelievable stuffs in life cause everyone is free to do what is in their heart. but he will bring all souls to judgement.
incest was part of God plan for man to fill the earth. ones that is accomplished the law came to separate man from animals.
in conclusion God forgive Cain hence protected him. God is a forgiving and loving God not willing for any to die but to repent and enjoy grace in fullest

You now told your son that if he could work and make the company grow to a certain level, you will make him the general overseer of the company both may be here in Nigeria and abroad.

Since he doesn't interfere then it's means his servant and innocent can die as much as possible. People can die in churches, hospitals and elsewhere due to one factor or another. Innocent can't easily be killed and nothing happens because God is not interfering. Then those perpetrators would be protected and forgiven like he did to Cain while the dead is dead.

In order words, there are two gods in heaven.

The God God and the Jesus God.

Which means Jesus is lord systematically elevates Jesus to be superior to God because Christians havs never said God is lord.

Christians have always prayed in the name of Jesus ONLY
Chrisitians always ask if you have given you life to christ and not God

Which means Jesus is important to Christianity and their God and not the God God.

The First miracle of Jesus in The Holy Quran



The Bible says the first miracle of Jesus, occurred when he was over thirty years old. In John 2:1-10, this miracle when Jesus turned water into wine in a wedding. Jesus made this potent wine that the men have "well drunk." This was not grape juice. It was the same wine that, according to the Bible, enabled the daughters of Lot to seduce their father, Genesis 19:32-33. It was the same wine that the Christian is advised to avoid in Ephesians 5:18 "And be not drunk with wine." The Quran does not mention this alleged miracle to Jesus.

On the other hand, in Islam, Jesus′ first miracle occurred when he was a baby. He spoke as an infant. He talked to defend his mother from any devious judgment from her people. Now ask yourself, which version of the first miracle would you choose for Jesus? The Islamic version or the Biblical version? The Christian could read in the Quran everything he wanted to know about Jesus, but in the most noble, elevated and sublime language. A Christian or a Muslim, when reading the above story in the Quran, could not help being moved by it. I personally saw Muslim adults crying in humility when reading or listening to this miraculous story of the birth of Jesus.

The second section of Surah Maryam, Surah 19, Ayah 16 to 40, tells the story of the birth of Jesus:

16. Relate in the Book (the story of) Mary, when she withdrew from her family to a place in the East.

17. She placed a screen (to screen herself) from them; then We sent her our angel, and he appeared before her as a man in all respects.

18. She said: "I seek refuge from thee to ((Allah)) Most Gracious: (come not near) if thou dost fear Allah."

19. He said: "Nay, I am only a messenger from thy Lord, (to announce) to thee the gift of a holy son.

20. She said: "How shall I have a son, seeing that no man has touched me, and I am not unchaste?"

21. He said: "So (it will be): Thy Lord saith, "that is easy for Me: and (We wish) to appoint him as a Sign unto men and a Mercy from Us": It is a matter (so) decreed."

22. So she conceived him, and she retired with him to a remote place.

23. And the pains of childbirth drove her to the trunk of a palm-tree: She cried (in her anguish): "Ah! would that I had died before this! would that I had been a thing forgotten and out of sight!"

24. But (a voice) cried to her from beneath the (palm-tree): "Grieve not! for thy Lord hath provided a rivulet beneath thee;

25. "And shake towards thyself the trunk of the palm-tree: It will let fall fresh ripe dates upon thee.

26. "So eat and drink and cool (thine) eye. And if thou dost see any man, say, "I have vowed a fast to ((Allah)) Most Gracious, and this day will I enter into not talk with any human being""

27. At length she brought the (babe) to her people, carrying him (in her arms). They said: "O Mary! truly an amazing thing hast thou brought!

28. "O sister of Aaron! Thy father was not a man of evil, nor thy mother a woman unchaste!"

29. But she pointed to the babe. They said: "How can we talk to one who is a child in the cradle?"

30. He said: "I am indeed a servant of Allah. He hath given me revelation and made me a prophet;

31. "And He hath made me blessed wheresoever I be, and hath enjoined on me Prayer and Charity as long as I live;

32. "(He) hath made me kind to my mother, and not overbearing or miserable;

33. "So peace is on me the day I was born, the day that I die, and the day that I shall be raised up to life (again)"!

34. Such (was) Jesus the son of Mary: (it is) a statement of truth, about which they (vainly) dispute.

35. It is not befitting to (the majesty of) Allah that He should beget a son. Glory be to Him! when He determines a matter, He only says to it, "Be", and it is.

36. Verily Allah is my Lord and your Lord: Him therefore serve ye: this is a Way that is straight.

37. But the sects differ among themselves: and woe to the unbelievers because of the (coming) Judgment of a Momentous Day!

38. How plainly will they see and hear, the Day that they will appear before Us! but the unjust today are in error manifest!

39. But warn them of the Day of Distress, when the matter will be determined: for (behold,) they are negligent and they do not believe!

40. It is We Who will inherit the earth, and all beings thereon: to Us will they all be returned.

The above verses represent the personal side of the experiences of the worshippers of Allah in relation to their families or environment.
nathdim:
am not a religious person but that's utter nonsense how do you expect somebody in his write mind to believe the word of a cave man who never saw Jesus rewriting his story 600 years after his stay on earth telling you 1 angel Gabriel he saw in the Bible reappeared to him that smells like bull crap

26. "So eat and drink and cool (thine) eye. And if thou dost see any man, say, "I have vowed a fast to ((Allah)) Most Gracious, and this day will I enter into not talk with any human being""

27. At length she brought the (babe) to her people, carrying him (in her arms). They said: "O Mary! truly an amazing thing hast thou brought!

28. "O sister of Aaron! Thy father was not a man of evil, nor thy mother a woman unchaste!"

29. But she pointed to the babe. They said: "How can we talk to one who is a child in the cradle?"

30. He said: "I am indeed a servant of Allah. He hath given me revelation and made me a prophet;

31. "And He hath made me blessed wheresoever I be, and hath enjoined on me Prayer and Charity as long as I live;

32. "(He) hath made me kind to my mother, and not overbearing or miserable;

33. "So peace is on me the day I was born, the day that I die, and the day that I shall be raised up to life (again)"!

34. Such (was) Jesus the son of Mary: (it is) a statement of truth, about which they (vainly) dispute.

35. It is not befitting to (the majesty of) Allah that He should beget a son. Glory be to Him! when He determines a matter, He only says to it, "Be", and it is.

36. Verily Allah is my Lord and your Lord: Him therefore serve ye: this is a Way that is straight.

37. But the sects differ among themselves: and woe to the unbelievers because of the (coming) Judgment of a Momentous Day!

38. How plainly will they see and hear, the Day that they will appear before Us! but the unjust today are in error manifest!

39. But warn them of the Day of Distress, when the matter will be determined: for (behold,) they are negligent and they do not believe!

40. It is We Who will inherit the earth, and all beings thereon: to Us will they all be returned.

The above verses represent the personal side of the experiences of the worshippers of Allah in relation to their families or environment.
