Thanks.

The difference btw the prodigal son (unbeliever) and the forgiven prodigal son (that once disobeyed his father), is that one felt remorseful and guilty then returned to the father while the other never felt he did anything wrong or may even know he is doing something wrong but thinks, oh! daddy understands I cant help but continue being a bad child to him. Not knowing that daddy will never understand anything for him but daddy will strictly take him for what he can see him doing.

For if a child was able to stop his bad character, nothing stops the second from taking the same decision

[size=18pt]Humans! Mere mortals!! You have all spoken to the best of your knowledge, i am so impressed, but God isn’t! Don’t you people know that God is God!! U’re simply humans, so some of these things you WILL NEVER understand. (For just as the heavens are higher than the earth, so my ways are higher than your ways and my thoughts higher than your thoughts, Isaiah 55:9); (for the foolishness of God is wiser than the wisdom of man, 1 Corinthians 1:25)

How dare you blaspheme the name of the Almighty God?!! I don’t blame some of you, the devil has bought over your souls and blinded you from the TRUTH! (Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron. 1 Timothy 4:1-2)

(Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying, Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision. Psalm 2:1-4)

(The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good. The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God. They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one. Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon the LORD. Psalm 14: 1-4)


You have all spoken to the best of your logical reasoning but God’s word is the ONLY TRUTH!! You can have facts that make sense to you as humans, yes, obviously, they’re facts that we all can see and they make sense to us all, but God is TRUTH, and the TRUTH is HIGHER than the facts that you mere mortals have. (I am the way, the TRUTH and life. John 14:6)

For my Christian brothers, stop arguing, be reminded, (for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light. Luke 16:8b)

(For the message of the Cross is foolishness to them that are perishing; but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 1 Corinthians 1:18)

Let me tell you all something about God, He IS MEANT TO BE FOLLOWED, maybe not UNDERSTOOD! Because He is God, you will never understand Him, not even in a million lifetime!!!
My final points, repent for God’s judgement is at hand. Don’t be fooled and deceived! The King of Kings will come to judge US all sooner or later. Do not let this mail stand against you at the gate that day, please.
(, and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked. Isaiah 11:4b)
(And take heed to yourselves, lest perhaps your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting and drunkenness, and the cares of this life, and that day come upon you suddenly.  For as a snare shall it come upon all that sit upon the face of the whole earth.  Watch ye, therefore, praying at all times, that you may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that are to come, and to stand before the Son of man. Luke 21:36)[/size]

Kay 17:

Check out this faults:

Is stoning an adulterer a sin?

Is revenge killiing a sin?

Is slavery a sin?

Is selling your family member a sin?

Is mass murder a sin?

Chubiko:

For clarity sake let it be known that the difference bw a born again and a sinner is that a sinner sees sin as a way of life, a thing to be proud of but a born again sees sin as a mistake and is never proud of it but quickly goes back to plead for forgiveness. The sinner neva asks for forgiveness because its his nature.
The fact that a born again commits sin (" for whosoever says he has no sin is a liar and makes Christ a liar" does not make him a sinner because we are not looking at the word in real terms as xtians. It is a spiritual thing. The Adamic nature had been shed the day he was renewed, but to the other, he still wears that nature and enjoys it as you do food.

In any case i think that such issues relating to our faith as xtians should not be topics for this kind of discussion cos it opens up xtianity to ridicule by people who does nt understand the meaning thereof. It is not religion as others but a way of life and will always remain foolish to him that wants to perish.

swizzle:

they are not sinners, they are just "evil doers"  

Sonofpeace:

You still don't get my question. My question was: What are the difference btw a Prodigal son(as all have sinned) and a former Prodigal son that was forgiven but he later sinned/trespassed against his father? Are the two not the same in sight of their father? What makes the forgiven son more righteous than the Prodigal son?

oludashmi:

Oh sorry! now I understand.

It is the case of two used plates, both dirty. One was washed but a traces of oil now found on it and the other not washed at all, dirty in and out. The two plates are dirty before the owner BUT the one that was formerly washed could need only a tissue to wipe off the small oil or just clean with a finger tip and then dip it in a clean water and it becomes new again.

But the dirty and unwashed plate needs more than that, 1. its needs to be seen a an eyesore to the kitchen, 2. a confession that the plate is dirty and needs to be washed, 3. it needs the soap, 4. sponge, 5. clean water, 6. an handkerchief. Such is the relationship between a sinner who is yet to repent and that who has repented but found himself in sin.

I hope I tried to answer you?

@prince: why not leave the judgement to God

kemisuga:

Yes, a formal colleague from Christ Embassy, told me the same thing, that once he is born again, he has no more sin even if he committed any sin, cause Jesus has already paid it all on the cross.

AMAZING isnt it?

They go know say hell fire get part 2.

Not only amazing, even funny.

Infact its series and parts are unending.

princekevo:

Well dear your answer is not biblical. Considering the parable of the Ten Virgins. The 5 lost out of the feast becoz of the were not prepare jst like a half washed dish is still unprepared to be used. Such preaching from pastors like C.O are the reason why many christians today live with sins, becoz they believe once saved  is saved forever even though they keep leaving in sin and call it a mistake. We are aware there are sins of omissions but you find out that this christians are really living in a sin of commission. The person you see as a well known sinner might repent today, sudenly die tml and will make it to heaven jst like the theif by his right hand. The so called born again christian can sin today and die tml but face the everlasting damantion jst like Judas did.

So sister, What matter is not what you were or what you have been, but what you are at the time you are being called back home.

My brother God has given us his word upon which the  gospel should be based. So i dont need God to come down again to tell me what is is right or wrong.

Ranoscky:

odiaero

with the way u sound i can tell that u'r a member of christ embassy!

 aahahaha noooooooooooo, am 100percent Catholic, but i hate people saying craps of what they done have proof of

oludashmi:

Prince, why dont you read my posts frm the first page be4 your reply. I already said it that the end of the Christian matters more than his beginning. Sonofpeace is asking a question and that I have replied him. thanks.
