@Dios & jerrymania,
you guys can abuse God for all you can, he wont count it against you but I pray He gets hold of you guys one day and you recognise your folly.

The ones who abuse God are those you speak lies and disseminate fables using His name.

Originakalokalo:
∆ As a child of God, how do I know that the Bible is a true word of God?
The answer is FAITH. No one can take that from you, No one can argue out your faith.
So, before I give "other" evidences, It is important to know that faith in the word of God is the key to being a child of God.

The title og Word of God as discussed in the context of Scripture goes instead to the person of Jesus Christ.Your Bible is merely a collection of Books(letters as well) some of which comprise Scripture.

Nukilia:
∆ The victims of such false declaration should know that they have been conned. The next stop is to visit the EFCC or get a good lawyer in order to retrieve whatever might have been forcefully stolen

That is a hard one to prove.

Ninobraw:
I just read a story just now about a pastor who ask is member to sow his Lexus car that things will start moving well for him 4 months later nothing change and the guy went back to collect his car from the pastor and the pastor said he has sold the car already.
Another example a pastor said in the next 6 months time you will be a bank manager 6 months later it didn't happen.
Another example a pastor said before the end of this year you will build a house the following year the person is still a tenant,
So now my question is, is it punishable by law when you give a prophecy that didn't come to pass?

419 is a crime. But it is hard to prove when one willingly submits to it.

Reflect7:
■ Shut up and use your brain, you blasted mor.on. Does it even occur to you that you would know absolutely NOTHING about “Jesus” today if you’d been born in the middle of China or India, or Iran?
How does it make sense to you that your being ‘saved’ is dependent on where you were born?
Why would a fair God operate in that manner? You have been given brains to reason with, yet your brains are just there for decoration. Thoughtless, stupid things.
■ If Jesus was the ONLY route to salvation, WHY would God limit access to him to primarily Europeans and those conquered by Europeans?

There is an Orthodox Christian community in Iran to this day. There are even stories of Jesus Christ in Tibet. There are religious movements in those places that are an older form of Christianity than what you have in Nigeria. If you are trying to use the spread of religion as your argument, then you are greatly ignorant of the facts of it.

2. I think you should limit to scope of your discussion to just religion and Christians. YOur ignorance of the facts pertaining to the God of Israel and His Son Jesus Christ makes you look no better than the religionists you pretend yourself able to attack,

Reflect7:
■Can you people see the fanatical lunacy that is Christian belief? They are so massively brainwashed you can’t even have a rational debate with them. I have absolutely no idea what this psycho is saying here, but the whole point I made about the massive injustice of the doctrine went right over her head.

I am afraid I am not a Christian, neither am I the one who has been brainwashed here nor am I the psycho in this case. Your complete ignorance of the facts as put forth by God— God of Israel and His Son, Jesus Christ — whom you pretend yourself more intelligent than is what I am simply trying to point out to you.

AbuTwins:
∆ So Al-Qaedah is now your trustworthy news media? I don't care who made the claims!
Israeli Mosaad killed JFK!
Israelis have infiltrated USA and hence controls USA from the inside!
Both 9/11 and 10/23 are coordinated attacks to murder people by the same Israeli Mosaad!
The Soviets invaded Afghanistan. Osama teams up with others to protect Afghanistan from the invasion. USA teams up with them too via third party support since the Soviets was their enemy too!
If Osama was a terrorist then the USA should be a terrorist country!
But only Osama is your enemy!
Only our enemies are labeled terrorists!

So by this same, the opinions of Hamas are not worth paying attention to, right?

godliman:
∆ You need Jesus to be saved. That people abuse the saving grace and mercy of God does not mean grace is a license to sin. Shall we continue in sin that Grace may abound? God forbid is the answer- Room 6:1. If you doubt the fact that salvation is only through Jesus, be patient we will soon cross over and all doubts will be cleared but then it will be too late.

Only those who are of the blood of Jacob require saving by Jesus Christ.

Reflect7:
∆ Saved’ as in going to heaven, escaping the possibility of hell etc.
Or you have forgotten your own Christ-ian doctrines, abi?

Jesus Christ said He is the only way into His Heaven and His Hell?

By the way, if you had in fact spent time reading up on what that "unintelligent" God of Israel you would have learned the following:
* Only Jesus Christ can give men Eternal Life and Jesus Christ is also the only way into the Kingdom of God.
* To qualify for Jesus Christ, you must born of the blood of Jacob - sheep
* Salvation, as offered by Jesus Christ, is for Israelites the people God directly cursed by way of His Judgement against the entire Nation of Israel(and Judah) which culminated over 1900 years ago.
* Both Heaven(Eternal Reward) and Hell(Eternal Damnation) are both housed inside of the Kingdom of God which belongs only to Jesus Christ.
* Non-israelites -- dogs -- have no reason to worry at all about Salvation, Heaven or Hell in the Kingdom of God since they can't have it even if they, for irrational reasons, came to desire

Reflect7:
∆ If people actually needed Jesus in order to be saved, it would be the most unfair and unjustifiable blackmail the world has ever witnessed from its Creator.

Saved from what? Bad government? Poverty? What exactly do people need saving from?

OMEGA009:
Pilot inside plane noticed fire alarm, Fire fighter on on the ground outside the plane noticed smoke coming from the engine compartment but Airline officials who were probably at home when it occurred are saying it was a false notification? Flying in Nigerian airspace is trusting solely in GOD. Those trying to make this a tribal affair most probably, haven’t ever seen an airport.

And what made you believe GOD is paying attention? No be your scamming pastors and mogs(imams included) who feed you tales of how God of other country is interested in you folks ?

AbuTwins:
∆ Yes, I believe the first 9/11 attack and the purported Hamas Oct. 7, 2023 attack was an Israeli Mossad job!

That's my believe.
I am in full support of people defending their territories and protecting their family & properties as they deem fit!
I am also against whoever kills civilians, infants, unarmed men and women without recourse to their names whether Israeli, Hamas, USA, Iran or whatever!

Even with the fact that Alqaeeda made public that they were behind it all?

Wow... Color Osama and his deity disappointed. I guess he didn't succeed in making a lasting mark as he pretended he could for his deity.

MarVel125:
∆ Anointing Can be best defined as the electric shock from heaven
Because when you connect your spirit with God spirit it becomes one
And you will be able to do anything impossible
Because the electric spirit is in you
But before the spirit can be in you

Then you most be holy because God is Holy
Amos 3:3 can two walk together expect they agree

The God of Israel - YHWH -- put an end to Prophets and visions(anointings included) at the end of the Last Days of His final judgement against His Nation of Israel( and Judah) in the land of Canaan - Daniel 9 vs 24. Jesus Christ, the Last Prophet sent by the God of Israel, confirmed that the Last Days (tribulation and endtime included) took place in the same generation that His Disciples happened to be a part of - Matthew 24 & Mark 13 & Luke 21. We are talking of events that took place about 1900 years ago.

When you lot talk of anointings, please be specific about the actual God who sponsors them cause Scripture has it that it couldn't have been the God of Israel . And absolutely not Jesus Christ who said He was sent only to the Lost sheep of Israel.

These electrical current you say is your holy spirit, how certain are you that it isn't sango or obatala powering you all instead since God of Israel no talk say His Holy Spirit na feeling.

■ A rich man with poor siblings is still a poor man What's the essence of all my knowledge and intelligence if I can't impact someone's life positively
■ My intelligence IS A GIFT. NOT MY RIGHT OR PRIVILEGE. I'm not smart because I went to the best school...I'm smart because I was born this way. The potential was already in me. I was born because I am to serve others and the gift I was born to use to serve others is my intelligence. And I thank God for people like Helpyourself, a nairalander who made me realize this
■ Although I'm no perfect being, I just want People to see the world the way it is so they can make better decisions because the best way to focus on things that matter IS TO take your eyes of things that don't matter. this happens by unlearning and relearning.
They say people perish for lack of knowledge BUT IMAGINE IF THE PEOPLE HAD KNOWLEDGE..just imagine if that happens.
■ Imagine if people made decision KNOWING the full consequences of the decision they are about to make. What if I can make that happen. WHEN I make that happen...Heads up!

1. How you impact someone positively if you have not even an ounce of verifiable truth aka fact to offer him?

2. Intelligence? Is it possible to have intelligence without knowledge and understanding? You have a lot of questions, what-ifs, and suppositions, sure. But what I sense more from you is curiosity but a curious mind is not necessarily a knowledgable or intelligent mind though, is it? I mean having so 100 questions and not a single valid answer to any of them makes one no better than a box of unsolved puzzles.

3. You think you see the world the way it is? Or do you think the way you see the world is the way the world is? I think it is the latter for you! If you unlearn one pack of BULLSHEET to relearn another pack of BULLSHEET, you still end up full of BULLSHEET though. So, is it simply about unlearning one thing to relearn another?

4. Never take things out of context or you completely end up creating nothing in the end. The statement in Hosea 4 vs 6 was said concerning the general ignorance of the people of the details of God's Law of Moses, the National Constitution of the Nation of Israel in the Land of Canaan. Taken out of context, that statement has been used to justify even the most stewpid of things. Please try to pay attention to context next time.

5. But what you described is already more than possible. So what?

■ A criminal can never bring development to the community. Stop expecting Tinubu to fix Nigeria, he is a known Treasury looter, Lagos landlord, the only Governor of the 1999 set still looting the state he governed after 3 decades.
How you guys still expect such a ruthless public fund thief to turn things around in Nigeria is still a mystery. Tinubu can only leave Nigeria worst than he met it, bookmark this page and check back in 2027 to prove me wrong

He is offering the opportunity to set up food banks in communities around the nation to religious and traditional entities. No longer do the Northerners have the key to this. Considering the current currency situation, I see this as an opportunity for people who do not want to go hungry to help set up the nation from their very community.

IAmHim1:
Lolzz. Have a nice day

Here's a question for you. You pretend yourself better than those who cling to religion in terms of knowledge of God and the things of God. But when you are poked for details, it turns out you don't know anything for sure but are, like the religious folks, certain that what you know is better than what they have. From where I sit, you disseminate the same level type of vacuous lies and uncertainty about it all that the religious folks you beat down do, only you pretend you hold a higher ground than they do. So I guess my particular question to you, is why do you bother at all? What do you gain from this? Just curious!

IAmHim1:
■ ,.I really don't know what to tell you anymore. But here goes something: The ONLY reason you're championing Jesus Christ as your savior is because you were born in a Christian family. If you were born in a Muslim family, you'd be with your kettle tomorrow, April 26 2024.
■ You think because a woman is on hijab that means she won't make heaven or whatever your Bible tell you heaven is like lolzzz Once again, the only reason you're a Christian is because you were born a Christian. Jesus, Prophet Mohammed...all of them are from God . It's just that their teaching has been corrupted for man selfish reasons that's why you see disunity Sallah meat is meat. Easter meat is meat too. Because it came from a Christian or a Muslim doesn't make it less of a meat
■ Apply context to this knowledge you're reading now and if you have any questions, please try make it precise. Try please.

1. That is a lie ! I was not born into a Christian home. My parents were more atheist leaning than Christian when I was young. It was much much later that they sort to adopt religion, by that time, I was having none of it. So you see, you need to focus on the topic and make your point as opposed to jumping all over the place hoping something sticks!

Also, for the umpteenth time, I am not a Christian.

2. I don't think that at all! The reason a woman in Hijab will not enter into the Heaven that belongs to Jesus Christ has a lot more to do with what Jesus Christ Himself said of His Heaven and those who can make it into it. It matters not what I think. So again, just jumping all over the place!

3. Throwing around ideas that amount to religious nonsense when it ought to be clear that religious gibberish should have no place in a discussion regarding what is contained in Scripture points to a lack of understanding on your part of what is stated in Scripture versus the ideas worming around in your head there. If you took your advice there and applied context when processing the information contained in Scripture, and then those in the Quran or any other books out there, you would realize this but I doubt you even know how to do exactly what it is you advise there.

Holuwahphemy:
■ A Christ Apostolic Church member like me would know how prayer is not something we take for granted
If you are the type that doesn't know how to close your eyes during prayers, and happened to drop by one revival at a C. A. C. branch, the moment you here something like; "the angels of God have descended and are walking amidst us... Please this is not the time to play or open your eyes... (then u'll hear the pastor tell a short story about how a man opened his eyes during a prayer session and got blinded by an angel) Shout! And call the name of the lord... Say 'lord! what is that ancient curse placed against our generations to stagnate our progress' ? Be destroyed by fire and thunder!" you wouldn't even dare opening your eyes... Even after hearing the bell and "in Jesus name we pray" you would still close your eyes and be wondering if it is safe to open them yet.
■ But in the holy scriptures though- Matthew chapter 6 verse 9 to 13, Jesus taught us a short and simple way to pray- 'The Lord's prayer'
My question now is; what if all i say everytime i needed to pray is the Lord's prayer, does that mean i've suceeded in praying for things i needed all round? For instance, my landlord is treating me badly and i wanted to ask God to change this, is saying the Lord's going to change his attitude?
Thanks for your meaningful responses.

Religious rituals are meaningless — vain rituals —when it comes to the God of Scripture. As a matter of Jesus Christ made clear that the doctrines and traditions associated with religion beginning with those dispensed by the religious leaders of His time are antiChrist — lies— which steer those who live by them away from the Truth of God. So, holding on to them is counterintuitive if God is the one you desire.

2. It's not just about praying what you know as the Lord's prayer but praying exactly/only that which Jesus Christ said to. The modified version of the prayer is antiChrist as it was an attempt by men to add to God's Word, a sin against God. If you would like to pray as Jesus Christ prescribed, then you would not only have to follow all of the commandments regarding prayer, meaning you should also pray in secret and in hiding, without vain repetitions, etc.

∆ Your matter Taya me.
You don win

This from the one who thinks himself a master at coming up with ridiculous postulations.

1000Capacity:
1. Moses is said to have worked as a shepherd for Jethro for 40 years before returning to Egypt. If I work for you for 20years I have become you. I can comfortably do everything you do without supervision.
∆ I can't invoke the same god or spirits the old prophets can conjure but I sure know Moses and Aaron did. Jethro is called a priest of Midian and he taught Moses well.
∆ . You are intelligent to have at least understand rules/protocol. You are intelligent so I know you won't be dumb enough to go invoke Sango knowing fully well Sango no send ya papa. You do anyhow, you see anyhow. No time

1. Yet people work for longer than that with one company or the other, only to go home penniless and without anything to show for it at the end. I guess they did not know that working with someone that long means you become that person.

2. In all, their Voodoo belongs to their God; you are not able to access their voodoo hence your voodoo has nothing to do with them and their God, right?

2. Yet you came here to invoke Jesus Christ without having the authority or necessary and you think you made sense in doing so?

1000Capacity:
1. Moses gets married to the daughter of this black dude named Jethro who is the dude who taught him all the voodoo
2. Why do you think I have no such authority? Christ has given us all authority to declare his name and love to the world. And you, Kobojunkie, Jesus loves you because you are in the world and of the world

1. Is Jethro's Voodoo your Voodoo? Can you invoke the same god as we speak?

2. Last I checked, I can't go into a sango shrine to invoke the god on behalf of his worshippers. I need some form of authority of connection to do so. There are over 40,000 deities out there and each with specific rules/protocol. Think along those lines and maybe you begin to understand my meaning.

1000Capacity:
■ Have you heard about Urim and the Thummim? Have you read about Moses and the Bronze serpent?
2. Me saying Jesus loves you is to remind you and affirm what has been established. It's established that Jesus loves Sinners and most especially unbelievers who question Biblical authority and the works of the holy spirit. The Bible is the inspired word of God

I have read of them all and I am afraid I don't know what those have to do with this here discussion.

2. But without authority given you by the God of Israel your reminder/affirmation is worthless though, so what exactly is the point of that religious gobbledegook?

The dictionary meaning of the word Inspired is pretty clear on what to think.

in·spire
1. fill (someone) with the urge or ability to do or feel something, especially to do something creative.
"his passion for romantic literature inspired him to begin writing"
▶ create (a feeling, especially a positive one) in a person.
"their past record does not inspire confidence"
▶ animate someone with (such a feeling).
"he inspired his students with a vision of freedom"
▶ give rise to.

2. Jesus Christ said in His Gospel that His Love is stored up only for those who love Him — those who submit and obey His teachings and commandments - John 15 vs 9 - 11.

■ Does the Bible prophesy a one-world government and a one-world currency in the end times?
■ How will the antichrist rule over all the nations of the world in the endtimes?

1. A read from a Book of dreams/visions should never be interpreted literally.

2. According to Jesus Christ, in Matthew 24 & Mark 13 & Luke 21, He will rule by warring with the others. And this is exactly what is recorded to have happened beginning about 1900 years ago in Jerusalem and Judah, where he is recorded to have first shown up.

Gemid94:
“Starting as a humble assembly of fewer than 25 faithful members, including my brothers who now serve as the assistant General Overseer of MFM, the church of God has transformed into a formidable presence worldwide.
“Like a sturdy oak tree, MFM has extended its reach across continents. As we celebrate this significant achievement, we recognize that our journey is far from over.
“Through heartfelt praise and worship, we pay homage to the Sovereign Ruler of all, knowing that MFM’s legacy will endure. Long live MFM!”

■ Yes. It's in the book of Revelations. After the saints are raptured and the Antichrist is unleashed.
There will be trade embargo unless u have 666 (he Mark of the Beast).

The AntiChrist, according to the Prophets of Old including Jesus Christ, arrived over 1900 years ago. The Tribulation and Last Days also took place around that same time.

29 “Right after the trouble of those days, this will happen:‘The sun will become dark, and the moon will not give light.The stars will fall from the sky, and everything in the sky will be changed.’[c]
30 “Then there will be something in the sky that shows the Son of Man is coming. All the people of the world will cry. Everyone will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds in the sky. He will come with power and great glory.
31 He will use a loud trumpet to send his angels all aroun
32 “The fig tree teaches us a lesson: When its branches become green and soft, and new leaves begin to grow, then you know that summer is very near.
33 In the same way, when you see ALL these things happening, you will know that the time[d] is very near, already present.
34 I assure you that ALL these things will happen while some of the people of this time are still living.
35 The whole world, earth and sky, will be destroyed, but my words will last forever. - Matthew 24 vs 32 - 35

So, are you certain about this fable you have here regarding what you call rapture, the antichrist, and the mark of the beasT? Or do you instead believe Jesus Christ got it all wrong?
