Joshuabase:


Oh would you just shut up, you practice a white man's religion and not you're ancestor's religion because you see the white man as Superiors

Why didn't any of the Bible stories involve black Africans? Because the Christian God is racist and imaginary.

Hmmm, sore and vexing, arent u? How rude. The re loads of black africans in the bible but u re too ignorant to know. Hagar s a black african. So was Zipporah, moses s wife. Queen of Sheba s black African. There re even blacks in Jesus lineage.
But racism wasnt an issue then as most Pharoahs were black, slaves then were mostly white hence slaves were derived from Slav. Modern slavery u know abt actually started with a black man named Johnson. Google is ur friend. Meanwhile, Jesus is Lord.

And you that have itching in your anus, The Almighty God has set you free in Jesus name. Just like the centurion, you don't need to create any any topic, you don't even need any laying of hands but just believe in your heart, YOU ARE HEALED OF THAT ITCHING IN YOUR ANUS AND ANY OTHER INFIRMITY IN YOUR BODY IN JESUS NAME. Amen..... But remember to thank God and share your own testimony to perfect your healing.... Jesus loves you more than you can ever imagine.

U see I don't engage a kid..I repeat,U are too small. Read 2 Cor 5:21,Matt 5:4,Luke 18:10-14.Isa 6:5.,57:15. I dnt just read the bible,I eat/squeeze the content.
like i have said keep quiet!!!! You on a thread and you dont who am i. You can never predict how God works and answer prayers so you can only guess. From the quotations i can sense that you read bible but lack the wisdom thereof. God is God in which no man can HIS way.

It's unnecessary to tell God what he already knows.

If it is unnecessary, Jesus wont have told us in Matt. 7:7 to ask. Anyways, you are entitled to your own opinion and choice.

Christians pray, but we don't always feel we're very good at it.
Christians pray – it's what we do. But sometimes we don't feel like it, sometimes we wonder what it's achieving, and sometimes we just don't know how.
Here is a framework for prayer based on the word ACTS:
Adoration: begin by remembering who God is and praising him for his creation and redemption.
Confession: admit that you are not the person you ought to be and bring to mind the things that you've done wrong. Say you're sorry.
Thanksgiving: spend time thinking about the good things in your life and thank God for them. Count your blessings.
Supplication: last of all, ask God for things. We may not understand how prayer 'works', but we can still believe God hears us when we pray.
We can learn a lot about prayer from seeing how people prayed in the Bible. When we do that we see that they didn't always find it easy either and that they probably had many of the same questions and frustrations that we do.
So here are 10 verses to encourage us as we think about prayer (all NIV).
1. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4: 6-7)
2. When you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words (Matthew 6:7).
3. When you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind (James 1:6).
4. Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective (James 5:16).
5. When hard pressed, I cried to the Lord; he brought me into a spacious place (Psalm 118:5).
6. I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you (Matthew 5:44).
7. In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans (Romans 8:26).
8. The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth (Psalm 145:18).
9. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9).
10. Pray without ceasing (1 Thessalonians 5:17).
I am afraid this is rather a framework of lies that ends up deceiving many away from the real truth of God which is that God does not answer the prayers of the unrighteous; their every prayer, offering, sacrifice, pleas, work, praise, etc., is made filthy by their sins and is hence an unacceptable abomination to God who cannot accept unholiness.

Scripture states that God does not answer the prayers of the unrighteous; the pleas and requests and every petition of the unrighteous are tainted by their sins(disobedience/unholiness) and are hence an abomination to God. So, what is definite is that even your many pleas for the forgiveness of sins are not answered by God given that God made no special exemptions for that kind of pleas. No amount of praying can cause God to change His mind regarding that which concerns the unrighteous by the way. So if you are thinking of prescribing more prayers that only means you really don't understand or know God at all. undecided

God, however, openly bragged about how He only answers the prayers of the righteous; He delights in granting them the desires of their heart meaning that they are those who are loved by Him. For this very reason, Jesus Christ urged His followers to seek first the Kingdom of God and God's Righteousness in order that all things— the blessings and rewards of the Kingdom of God(holiness), answers to prayers included—shall be added on to them. And as Jesus Christ explained in His Gospel, the only way to become Holy, and then also Righteous, is by way of continuous submission and obedience to the teachings and commandments of Jesus Christ, god's Truth and Law in the Kingdom of god - John 8 vs 31 - 36 & John 14 vs 15 - 23. Jesus Christ is the only way. Obedience to the Truth of God is the one and only path to righteousness. No amount of praying and other religious rituals can accomplish that. undecided

Ask yourself this, is God a liar? undecided

Seems you are craving for my attention for a while now.
Sorry, I don't have much time to engage in meaningless argument. BTW I don't patrol Nairaland platform this days. All I've written up there has biblical backups

Your attention isn't necessary at all as I am simply out to correct many of the falsehoods posted in the name of God as most of what you have has no real scriptural basis except for that manufactured in your mind. undecided
