Where is that in your bible? Is 65:17 clearly shows that chapter (including verse 19) was talking of a period when this present earth as we know it shall be no more.

He rose again to give you ETERNAL LIFE not a VICTORIOUS LIFE in this world.

Please on which basis did you arrive at that conclusion. Misapplying scriptures again, a common characteristis of BLW members. Sigh!!!

I have discovered that many xtians think and talk about scriptures mainly on the intellectual basis. I posed a simple question . when does eternal life start in the life of the xtian and now what is the meaning of being partakers of divine nature?

Read the bible very well instead of misapplying it to your own greed. The bible says you are partakers of a divine nature . . . but the same bible also says you are presently in a corruptible body. How can you combine both to achieve a victorious life now?
Have you read the scripture that says lay not up for yourselves treasures ON EARTH where moth and dust do corrupt?

Does your own eternal life start now? In the very earth Christ said was owned by the "prince of this world"?

i also noticed many BLW members who i dont consider christians (by their fruits . . .) talk about scripture on an emotional basis and on the basis of "Pastor Chris has said . . . so it must be right".

When you're born of the Spirit, eternal life is imparted to your spirit. The death and resurrection of Jesus is the greatest reality in the life of the saved. This means you've been made master over every principalities and powers including lucifer. At this point you are just like Jesus, having all the divine abilities in Him, dead to self and the play of religion and it's politics. Greater is HE that is in you than he that is in the world.

the bible talks of "growing in faith". No where did it tell you that you automatically become divine the minute you gave your life to Christ.

Being born again is not of church or religion but of the Spirit. You need to understand the new nature you now have in Christ which is divine! This is the reason while His children still doubt His abilities and the manifestations of His Spirit. If you're born again, you now have a new nature in Christ Jesus. What is that life? If i may ask. God is no respecter of persons but whosoever believes in the integrity of His word is acceptable unto Him. Walk in Love and stop playing religion. How many souls have you won for Christ this year? God bless as you walk in Love.

In 1 John 5: 11-14 'the bible says, he that hath the son hath life (ZOE). . . i write unto you you that ye may know that ye have eternal life. . .'
The word Zoe was translated as eternal life.

Zoe is the life and nature of God. The very life that makes God God.
The bible also tells us. . . NOW are we the sons of God . . . (not in the sweet bye and bye but NOW).
Please can somebody tell these satan's agents that we are to cooked for them and their deceit?

davidylan you don buy market ohhh  , you are now an insidious agent of satan simply because you do not agree with pastor chris understanding and interpretation  of the bible. chie no be small thing ohhh, agent of satan gabadaya? kai wannan kam baban magana che.

WE ARE LIVING IN THE TIME OF THE END OF THE CHURCH AGE!!! SO SAYS THE WORD OF GOD. STUDY IT.

nothing new hear. the pharisees said Christ had a devil. Not everyone who hides his heresy by brandishing the "devil" is always right.

The bible in 1 John 5 says indeed that we have eternal life through Jesus Christ. The question is simple - where are we to enjoy this "eternal life"? Here on earth or in heaven? If it is here on earth then it is not likely that people like Peter, James, Stephen, Paul ever had this eternal life . . .

The other day someone else was claiming to have checked the book of life and discovered that KunleOshob's name wasnt there.

This is not the Agape that the bible teaches.

Even where people preach what is not very accurate, God does not condemn them the way some do. After all, Paul said his joy was that Christ is preached, whether by coveteousness or otherwise. Instead of condemning them to hell, he only points out their faults.

A_K_O:

Lol. . . Pointing out people's fault - whichever way one does it - is quite a task, and in many instances could be misread or misinterpreted.

Anyhow, I'm persuaded that the life God gave us is in Christ a victorious one. The problem IMHO here is simply one of definitions. The concept that some of us carry about such words as "victory/victorious" often tends to materialism (and I don't subscribe to that idea). However, the "victorious" life we have in Christ is very clearly expressed in Scripture in so many verses - a few examples include:

(1). Romans 8:37 - Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

(2). 1 John 5:4 - For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.

Perhaps one reason why I don't subscribe to the idea of materialism in defining a "victorious" Christian life could be highlighted by Joseph's experience in Genesis 39. The man was in prison and yet had the testimony that whatever he did, the LORD made it to "prosper" (see verses 2 and 29).

Isn't it awesome that the life we have in Christ is indeed victorious?

I know, but that is largely what goes on in this section of nland. You say something, I see a hole in it and I fill it with whatever I think should be there, even you people's zoe debate. Someone thinks we have it now, the other sees that as faulty and says we will have it in the sweet by and by. And they both have scriptural support so it is as with most arguments, likely that there are elements of truth in both sides of the story.

That is better than claiming that someone is satan's agent because they do not see things exactly as you do.

A_K_O:

I'm with you on that - and it's my hope that as we mature in our faith, reason and love will become much more pronounced than outright denunciations.

I love this: instead of ready the post of critics i believe this is the best thing to read.
UP BELIEVERS LOWORLD. BUILDING A HAPPIER WORLD WITH LOVE.







EXPRESS YOURSELF.

I can see the joy and beauty of Ist October right here in my office. Even the clouds knows that something great, extraordinary is about to happen to our Beloved Country Nigeria on 1st October 2008.
Righteousness of God will be enthroned to our nation through the distribution of Rhapsody of Realities. Halleluya!!!

I give God thanks for another opportunity given to us to Reach Out to our Nation with the Word of God packaged in ROR.

I am so much elated in the Spirit. wow!!![/color][/color]

I saw a copy of this booklet and I felt there was a lot of personal advertising on it, even more than there are scriptures to build christians up.

I started reading the book Rhapsody Of Realities,since 2004 and it has really change my life.Anyone disputing the book should please try to read it first b4 condeming it.why did Niara landers love bringing people and men of God down,let joing in preaching the gospel of our lord Jesus and stop the act of critizm.Shalom

pilgrim.1:

You are right on the mark. Maturity in faith enables to see where we are missing it on own part and stop pointing accusing fingers.Severally, I have pointed out that I have good friends from different churches and our point of meeting is love. I attend Christ Embassy but I have good friends from Redeemed, Watchman, Chosen and Deeper. We leave the frills or non essentials of whether to use makeup, deodorant, body spray or head tie and focus on the main commission, the job of soul winning and discipleship.
At times, I shudder at the way some xtians tear each other down in the name of proving a point. I posted a case of testimony as well as supplying information as how to locate the testifier, I was labled a non credible source . I just smiled co I know fully that what I posted is true.
I think we have a lot that binds us. But for those who feel otherwise, No hard feelings.
Maturity is a continuous process and while we are on it, lets save our mouths,sorry fingers from typing all manner of things in trying to put across our points.
Love you all
