It means you believe that he has taken away all your sins, past, present and future. He did it when he died on the cross and resurrected on the third day. With that you are relying on him as your saviour from condemnation and as a means of eternal life.
Please do me a favour. I want a verse where Jesus himself clearly state the following
1. That he's our Lord and personal saviour
2. That he came to die on the cross for our sins
3. That he's the only begotten
Please, I want direct statement from Jesus and not Paul

So you are saying that God revealed himself to our forefathers before the missionaries came

Do you have any historical fact to prove this. undecided

I didn't live with my ancestors but I know how they lived, their way of life, their culture, their beliefs.

These are things we find in history books.
Stories about your ancestors were also passed down through word of the mouth from generation to generation.

I'm sorry if you don't know anything about your ancestors but I know mine.

They did not worship the Christian God cuz they don't know anything about him.
If that's the case, then I guess there shouldn't be atheists around. Evidentially, our actions are results of what we set our hearts to believe. Why do you think unbelievers today live as if God does not exist? In truth, it's not that they haven't heard about God or His son, Jesus Christ of Nazareth, they just haven't chosen to believe. Despite the numerous evidences, they still do not believe. Why? Because of pre-conceived notions birthed from proud hearts. Based on these points, that's how it was in the time of our ancestors -- We practise what we believe. Please read the article whose link I pasted in my previous message.
By the way, talking about history, I have a question.
How do you know whether a historical account is true or not?

You works based salvation people have come again[/s].



No, sir. I don't emphasis work over grace. Grace will not blind your eyes from watching pornography or lusting after a woman, from stealing, from lieing etc it will teach you and give you strength to say NO.


1.
Titus 2
11 For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, 12 teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age, 13 looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, 14 who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works.
[/color]

2. Yes, because your obedience in Christ to say No to all demands of the flesh is WORK that Go will not do for you. You are man with choice. God will not force you even after being born again. You will obey Him deliberately because there is a seed in you now that can help you not to sin again.

1John3:8 He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil. 9 Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God.[color=#990000]



Philippians 2
12 Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; 13 for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure.
[/color]

Sir, do you really understand those scriptures?

Don't let us use our self indulgence to belittle God's counsel. If you have not being experiencing victory over Sin, honestly sincerely seek God you will experience it.

I am not talking of outright PERFECTION, it is only God who decides that and when we see Him face to face, He promised us the Perfection.


[s][color=#000000]

This sermon is not a licence to anyone to commit sin. The sermon shows clearly that we cannot do without committing sin. But when as Christians we commit willful sin, God will chastise or scourge us (I quoted a Bible passage explaining this in the OP). God will keep correcting His children but will never cast them out like bastards. [/s] [s]Yes, we are to walk in the Spirit, but remember we are in the flesh, hence we will some times sin. This doesn't mean. we will go to hell fire[/color]. [/s][/s]


[color=#990000]
Romans 3
3 For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh, 4 that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. 5 For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. 6 For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. 7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be. 8 So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God.
[/color]

Flesh or Carnally minded= sinfulness (not only negative thing like fornication but also what God didn't send you) unpleasing to God, the result is death

Spirit or spiritually minded = Simple Obedience to God, result in life and eternity with God.


Galatians 5
16 I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. 17 For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. 18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

19 Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, 21 envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
[color=#990000]



[/color]Please did God says this Gal. 5:19-20 is only to "those who are yet to be born again'?

NO- Everyone that lives after the flesh.

The matter of eternity is not a joke. Our church and many of us Christian today have been dwelling on what you preached and God has been far from us. We have shifted away from Ancient Landmark and many church in Nigeria do not have testimony of righteousness except MONEY, COMFORT ET. that devil can give any man. How many revival have you experienced in your? How many testimony of victory over Sin, Self, Satan and the World System. Sir, we need to go back to God for help.




It is our life style that make many on a social group like this think Christianity is like other religion. Some will even call it White man religion. But I know it is beyond religion, it is mercy and Grace received for a heavenly life style here on Earth.




There's nothing like ONCE SAVE, YOU ARE SAVE FOREVER even in old testament.....[color=#000000]



[b][/color]Ezekiel 3
17 “Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; therefore hear a word from My mouth, and give them warning from Me: 18 When I say to the wicked, ‘You shall surely die,’ and you give him no warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life, that same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood I will require at your hand. 19 Yet, if you warn the wicked, and he does not turn from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you have delivered your soul.
20 “Again, when a righteous man turns from his righteousness and commits iniquity, and I lay a stumbling block before him, he shall die; because you did not give him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he has done shall not be remembered; but his blood I will require at your hand. 21 Nevertheless if you warn the righteous man that the righteous should not sin, and he does not sin, he shall surely live because he took warning; also you will have delivered your soul.”[/b][color=#990000]

Op missed it on one point. There is nothing like eternal security for believers. Only those who remain steadfast and walk uprightly will make heaven.

Are you aware that there are professing believers who fornicate even more than unbelievers. Some of them even speak in tongues. This includes so called men of God who use their position to lure their church members and even married women to bed. They will certainly have their parts in the Lake of fire.

Our Lord Jesus said he will disqualify so many on that day who will claim have done miracles in his name. So, I don't know where people got this message of eternal security.

Heb 3:14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;

Re: It Is Only One Sin That Sends People To Hell Fire by holuwarsheun24: 1:19pm On Dec 02, 2018
Op. well done for your fine effort. I do not always comment on topics here but after going through your write up I am moved to respond to your topic. kindly read up with an unbiased mind.

first of all, accepting Jesus as your personal Lord and saviour does not guarantee automatic everlasting life . read Matthew 7 vs 21-24. we need to work for our salvation by doing the will of God. it is true that Jesus christ paid for our ransom/sin through his death/blood, however, we need to work in the light. read 1 John 1vs 6-10.

Secondly is the issue of Hell Fire:
Hell means Grave/Tomb/Pit and in Hebrew, it means "Sheol" that is a place where the dead are buried. Everybody who dies goes back to the ground either through the grave or other local custom rite for burying the dead. read Ecclesiastes 9vs 10. THERE IS NO ACCOUNT IN THE BIBLE that explicitly says that all SINNERS goes to the Hell fire.

Let me even pretend that there is HELL Fire!! why will God Keep sinners there? to what end? is it so that HE can enjoy watching them suffer? Or is it so that they could repent from their sins? because according to the meaning of Hell fire is it a place of everlasting torment.

Where is Adam and Eve the originator of Sin? after they Sinned Jehovah our God never mentioned to them Hell Fire. He said they were made out of dust and they shall return to dust I.e the ground. and it has been like that till today read Genesis 3 vs 19.

Come to think of it, if there is a fire somewhere where people(sinner) will be burning forever and will not die, don't you think people will adjust to the pains since it is a continuous process. Have you forgotten that humans adapt to suitation/hardship easily. Infact some sinners will prefer that fire to total destruction, the kind of destruction that occurred in the time of Noah. Again those plenty sinners in the time of Noah, where are they?.

well, Lake of Fire mentioned in the Bible in the account of revelation connotes total destruction. where the Bible said death shall be hurled to the lake of fire which means second death.

Jehovah has promised to swallow up death forever. read Isaiah 25 vs 8 and is exactly the revelation John saw.

Jehovah is a Loving God with a whole lot qualities which we humans also posses. read 1st John 4 vs 8. To learn about Jehovah qualities read Psalm 103 vs 7-10. how can a God who is Merciful, compassionate, slow to anger, abundant in loyal love act like that?

OP. as a human being, can your child offend to the extent that you prefer to watch him/her suffer forever in fire?

Jehovah our God is not wicked, however he will never spare the wicked and the unrepentant. Check antecedents of how Jehovah act, you will see that he usually destroy the wicked but not tommenting them. read James 1vs 12-14. Even Sodom and Gomorrah was destroyed once and for All. God didn't continue tommenting people of Sodom and Gomorrah . Jehovah don't torment devil does, as in the case of Job.

with this few points and the Bible quotations I expect you to have a rethink about your position of the imaginary Hell Fire. and also do not paint Jehovah God wicked as some people have already perceived him based on your write up. God is Love!

1. John 10: 1-10
“Most assuredly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. 2 But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. 3 To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. 4 And when he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice. 5 Yet they will by no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers.” 6 Jesus used this illustration, but they did not understand the things which He spoke to them.
7 Then Jesus said to them again, “Most assuredly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. 8 All who ever came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them. 9 I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. 10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.

John 3
16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.

18 “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. 21 But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.”

2. Luke 9
22 saying, “The Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised the third day.”

Luke 18
31 Then He took the twelve aside and said to them, “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of Man will be accomplished. 32 For He will be delivered to the Gentiles and will be mocked and insulted and spit upon. 33 They will scourge Him and kill Him. And the third day He will rise again.”

3. John 3

16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.



Luke24
44 Then He said to them, “These are the words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things must be fulfilled which were written in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms concerning Me.” 45 And He opened their understanding, that they might comprehend the Scriptures.
46 Then He said to them, “Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day, 47 and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. 48 And you are witnesses of these things. 49 Behold, I send the Promise of My Father upon you; but tarry in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high.”

May the Lord open your understanding too and many who still think Jesus Christ, His death, ressurrection and second coming is a joke, in Jesus name. Amen.

It is in the scripture, show him. Many of such have actually come to know the truth.

Jesus spoke all the time about Himself as a son of Man because He was then in human flesh, born by human being.

He actually says "if you obey Me (Jesus), you shall know the truth and the truth will set you free.

hopefulLandlord:
Hell always sounded like a cynical marketing ploy designed to make people afraid to leave or displease the particular sect. And it seemed to really kill empathy - 'god says they burn, they burn' doesn't make me think of someone being full of love and compassion and all that.

Eternal punishment for finite transgressions always seemed abusive to me. How can someone look at the idea of a being who would condemn people to that and call it love?

Even when I was a Christian Hell was just too weird for me to accept. Infinite punishment for finite offenses is an eye for an eye on steroids. Punishing people for disobeying nit-picky rules makes God an abusive parent. One reason often given for punishment is to teach the offender not to offend again, but if punishment is eternal then how can the offender benefit from this teaching? Jesus is supposed to be into forgiveness but forgiveness shouldn't involve eternal suffering. Hell isn’t redemptive, it isn’t leading to repentance, it’s simply pain for pain’s sake.

I love this quote: “Heaven and hell seem out of proportion to me: the actions of men do not deserve so much.”

and of course I get the rationalisation of hell by Christians saying its moral accountability and saying bad people go to hell;
that's nonsense and they know it!!!

If Yahweh is real and omniscient, that means he already decided that we're going to hell before he even created us. But if this omniscient deity allows for deathbed conversions, then it doesn't matter what kind of life you lead. You could be a brutal dictator who massacred tens of millions of people, yet still get into heaven if you tell Jesus you're sorry. Your victims could all go to hell for eternity if they never repented. That's how bleeped up Christian morality is.

Maybe Christians can answer a few questions for me. The Bible says that there is ONLY ONE way to get into Heaven: by accepting salvation through Jesus.

So it follows that the Christians who ran the Nazi death camps can get into heaven. But their 6 million Jewish victims must burn for all eternity in the pits of Hell. I've talked to many Christians about this and they just pretty much accept it.

My questions are:

1. How f***ed up do you have to be to believe Nazis can go to Heaven but their 6 million Jewish victims must burn? That's just sick. But Christians believe it. What the f*** is wrong with you people?

2. Why would ANYONE willingly worship a god that would act like that? Is it just a fear thing (better known as cowardice)? And

3. Even if you get into Heaven what makes you think you'll be safe with a psycho god like that running the place? What's to stop your god getting a wild hair up his ass one day and sending Christians to a place so bad it makes Hell look like an ice cream parlor? He used to like the Jews too. Or so the story claims. What makes you think you're safe?
just pray u never be a victims of God wrath,just do all you can do to get ur salvation, and d only way is through Jesus, even d so call Jewish are not saved because not all of them that believe in Jesus.....alot of peoples got killed by Jewish by God instruction,such as pharaoh, Jericho, and many others people through moses,David,Joshua,etc,the same thing applicable to Jesus, in d book Luke 2 that Jesus was born for salvation and destruction of many peoples..... so d only solutions now is to believed in Jesus....

Yes, you are actually right that we are relying on Him for eternal life. Agreed.

Let us live proofing His power over sin and not mere form of godliness without testimony of victory.

The fig tree has all the nutrients and flourish with leaves but it wasn't leaves that it was meant to produce. It is fruit. Fruit that will cure hunger of men. We are to bear a fruitful lives that will help others but not to be like them. Knowing fully that we were like that before (Romans 3:23) and 1 John syas if we claim we have no sin we are a liar but if we confess and forsake he will cleanse us from all unrighteousness. He did that for us at salvation and onware as he opens our eyes to what we need to be not going back to what we claim we have forsaken. (were dead in trespasses and sins, 2 in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience, 3 among whom also we all once conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, just as the others.

4 But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, 5 even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), 6 and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, 7 that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. 8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, lest anyone should boast. 10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.)

Now created in Christ through accepting the finished work of Calvary and believing it. Then bearing fruits, fruits that abides.

May we all continue to experience this bearing of fruit of righteousness in Jesus name. Amen.

Doctrine of eternal security. Smh. If it wasn't possible to be perfect, Jesus wouldn't have encouraged you to strive for perfection in Matthew 5:48.

Please there is no doctrine for once saved forever saved. It is a doctrine from the pit of hell.

So what is the one sin?

Unbelief!

Unbelief is when you do not accept that Jesus Christ has redeemed you from your past, present, and future sin through his precious blood which he shed freely for us.

Bros, the only thing I can tell you is go back to God, He will give you the answers you seek if you sincerely ask him.

No. He provides very sound, and sane arguments.

The idea of God being omniscient already cancels the subject of heaven or hell.

If he knows your beginning and your end before you were born, certainly he knows your choices, and your final destination. Ain't it?

Please do me a favour. I want a verse where Jesus himself clearly state the following
1. That he's our Lord and personal saviour
2. That he came to die on the cross for our sins
3. That he's the only begotten
Please, I want direct statement from Jesus and not Paul

John 3 vs 16, entire book of John, Jesus talked about that. Moreover in john 16 Jesus said he had much to tell us but the Holy Spirit will reveal all Truth to us. Apostle Paul's writings were revelation he got from God's Spirit

At the emboldened...so you are saying my ancestors who died before missionaries came to Africa heard about Jesus but refused to believe because of pre-concieved notions and they already set out out their hearts to believe what they want

Can you prove that they knew about Jesus before Christian missionaries came to Africa undecided


Those that never heard the gospel will be judged according to there conscience. Every society has a moral code, for example, sleeping with someone's wife is an abomination that sometimes carried death penalty.

Likewise stealing etc were punishable. If so cities then had moral code how come?
Re: It Is Only One Sin That Sends People To Hell Fire by jomalinks: 2:11pm On Dec 02, 2018
First and foremost i wanna appreciate you for coming up with this write up.... But i would also love to point out some few things as a matter of fact i will go straight to the point.
Am sure you really don't understand this bible verse quoted by you
"My sheep hear my voice, and I know them,
and they follow me"

According to your perspective, accepting Jesus as your lord and personal saviour takes you to heaven automatically, that's salvation sir.

Salvation goes with Baptism, the day you Baptize and accept Jesus christ as your lord and personal saviour, from that very day, you become a Citizen of christ. But that is only the first step.. There's much more than that.

Remember the same bible said is not all that calls me lord lord that are mine, so using Sin as a case study here in order to gain access to heaven, i would say you might be right to some extent, but to some larger extent you are wrong, because this would only promote worldliness and Sin, the bible said there that love the world is of the world.
You can't love Sin and call your self a child of God, you can't love sin and speak with confidence that you are going to heaven.

Jesus came and gave just 2 laws, Recognise Him and love your neighbour as your self, it easy to accept Jesus and love him, but the question is do you really love your Neighbor

Sin.. I repeat sin will give you first class to Hell fire.

The bible said "If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life maimed than with two hands to go into hell, where the fire never goes out." (Mark 9:43).

""Once again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was let down into the lake and caught all kinds of fish. When it was full, the fishermen pulled it up on the shore. Then they sat down and collected the good fish in baskets, but threw the bad away." (Matthew 13:47-48).

"But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars- their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death"." (Revelation 21:cool.

"In a similar way, Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding towns gave themselves up to sexual immorality and perversion. They serve as an example of those who suffer the punishment of eternal fire." (Jude 1:7).

So with all This scriptural reference.. I BOLDLY say that sin is what take men to HELL.
MERCY and GRACE is what will take us to HEAVEN not SALVATION and RIGHTEOUSNESS but Salvation and Holiness is important.

My only question is if sin can separate man from God, then what makes you think it can't take one to hell
"But your iniquities have separated you from your God; your sins have hidden his face from you, so that he will not hear." (Isaiah 59:2).

Thank you.

So you re saying for some, It is not faith or belief in Jesus that will save them, but their works? Right?

What I imply is those that didn't hear the gospel like our forefathers, and those in our present world who never heard about Jesus.

The issue is those that never heard about Jesus

But if you have heard of Jesus and never accepted Him, then you have rejected life.


People need to understand that it is only in Jesus that there is life.
Jesus was the Lamb that took away the sins of the world.
God judges sin. But the judgement that was supposed to come to the world, Jesus took it as the Lamb.
Jesus tasted death for all that believe in Him.
If you believe in Jesus that he died for your sins, then when you stop breathing you will never taste death because Jesus tasted death for you.


People don't know the gravity of what Jesus did for us. When you understand it, you will even live above Sin. You will fall deeply in love with Jesus.
