Are you waiting for your church to lead you or you find the truth in the Bible and lead yourself to Christ? |

CAPSLOCKED: The Bible is a spiritual book and you say this things from a physical perspective, I hope and pray the day comes when you will become spiritually awake, until then you may not understand the Bible. Take care. |

Just use common sense in your dealings with others. Jesus said, " "The people of this world are wiser in dealing with themselves than than the people of God" |

CAPSLOCKED: It teaches love, peace. kindness, good morals and principles, the bible is a good book , without it , the world would be a lot worst than it is. The Bible is a good book and plays a very vital role in human existence. |

MJBOLT: Am afraid those problems was created by the man and it can only be solved by man. For God cannot do for men what they can do for themselves. |

CAPSLOCKED:I once watched one fantasy drama like 2 yrs ago. Some gods and the power they wield on the people on that fantasy land. A statement one of the actresses who does not recognise the power of the gods on her stuck like gum in my mind. She said" a god or metaphysical being has power over u if u recognise it's existence" I couldn't stop thinking about that for long. I remembered Zeus was once a very powerful Greek God. Now, we remember Zeus only in movies and novels. Most of those believes from different countries are now in novels. Some adapted into movies. In yrs coming, our once revered bible with its stories will end up like them Now, it's superman and spider man etc. Children see them as heroes. Stories about them are gathering momentum. They are to be looked up to yrs ahead by the future generation. Religion is so sensitive in Nigeria and it's environs bc the people are extremely poor. They need whom to look up to. Give them basic amenities and good paying jobs and more than half will stop going to places of worship in less than a yr. |

CAPSLOCKED: Wise one, you somehow maybe consciously failed to answer my questions while responding to others' posts. A one year old (anyone u can ask about God will fit into this category) was asked by a five year old (u in this case) to describe his father. The one year old then made some incoherent sounds. The five year old then responded that since the one year old couldn't, it only meant he had no father. Bro, the misconceptions and incoherent ideas men(from pastors to sinners) have about God will never justify your argument against his existence. Now try to go back and answer my questions if u can, wise one. I'm waiting. |

In as much as we all have access to the bible and to God through prayer, you cannot blame any church for your spiritual state. It is simply an excuse you can give yourself and those willing to listen, but such excuse cannot stand before the Almighty God. It is a grave sin to refuse to believe the gospel of Christ which is God's testimony about His son. It is simply an impudent declaration that God is a liar. It is trampling upon the precious blood, and an insult to the Spirit of grace. The consequence is condemnation, punishment and death! |

SHALOM! donstan18: OF COURSE! IS IT NOT OBVIOUS? . LUKE 16:1-15. AND he Said also unto his Disciples, "There was a certain rich man, which had a steward; and the same was accused unto him that he had wasted his goods. 2. "And he called him, and said unto him, 'HOW IS IT THAT I HEAR THIS OF THEE? GIVE AN ACCOUNT OF THY STEWARDSHIP; FOR THOU MAYEST BE NO LONGER STEWARD.' 3. "Then the steward said within himself, 'WHAT SHALL I DO? FOR MY LORD TAKETH AWAY FROM ME THE STEWARDSHIP: I CANNOT DIG, TO BEG I AM ASHAMED. 4. 'I AM RESOLVED WHAT TO DO, THAT, WHEN I AM PUT OUT OF THE STEWARDSHIP, THEY MAY RECEIVE ME INTO THEIR HOUSES.' 5. "So he called every one of his lord's debtors unto him, and said unto the first, 'HOW MUCH OWEST THOU UNTO MY LORD?' 6. "And he said, 'AN HUNDRED MEASURES OF OIL.' And he said unto him, 'TAKE THY BILL, AND SIT DOWN QUICKLY, AND WRITE FIFTY.' 7. "Then said he to another, 'AND HOW MUCH OWEST THOU?' And he said, 'AN HUNDRED MEASURES OF WHEAT.' And he said unto him, 'TAKE THY BILL, AND WRITE FOURSCORE.' 8. "And the lord commended the Unjust Steward, because he had done wisely: for The Children of this World are in their Generation wiser than The Children of Light. 9. "And I Say unto you, 'MAKE TO YOURSELVES FRIENDS OF THE MAMMON OF UNRIGHTEOUSNESS; THAT, WHEN YE FAIL, THEY MAY RECIEVE YOU INTO EVERLASTING HABITATIONS.' 10. "He that is Faithful in that which is Least is Faithful also in Much: and he that is Unjust in the Least is Unjust also in Much. 11. "If therefore ye have not been Faithful in the Unrighteous Mammon, who will commit to your trust The True Riches? 12. "And if ye have not been Faithful in that which is another man's, who shall give you that which is your own? 13. "No Servant can serve two Masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and Mammon." 14. And the Pharisees also, who were Covetous, heard all these things, and they derided him. 15. And he Said unto them, "Ye are they which justify yourselves before Men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is Highly Esteemed amongst Men is Abomination in The Sight of God." EVERY ORGANIZED CHURCH IS BASED ON LIES, THAT CERTAIN COMMANDMENTS OF LORD YESHUA DO NOT NEED TO BE FOLLOWED! There is no exception. (1) NO CHURCH THAT IS RULED BY CLERGYMEN IS OF GOD. . MATTHEW 23:1-15. THEN Spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his Disciples, 2. Saying, "The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat: 3. "All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not. 4. "For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers. 5. "But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments, 6. "And love the Uppermost Rooms at feasts, and the Chief Seats in the Synagogues, 7. "And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, 'Rabbi, Rabbi.' 8. "But be not ye called 'Rabbi:' for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are Brethren. 9. "And call no man your father upon the Earth: for one is your Father, Which is in Heaven. 10. "Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ. 11. "But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant. 12. "And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted. 13. "But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, Hypocrites! for ye shut up The Kingdom of Heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in. 14. "Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, Hypocrites! For ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive The Greater Damnation. 15. "Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, Hypocrites! for ye compass Sea and Land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more The Child of Hell than yourselves." (2) NO CHURCH THAT TEACHES THAT LORD YESHUA IS THE CHRIST IS OF GOD. . MATTHEW 16:20. 20. Then charged he his Disciples that they should tell no man that he was Jesus The Christ. (3) NO CHURCH TEACHING THAT LORD YESHUA IS GOD IS OF GOD. . MARK 8:27-30. 27. And Jesus went out, and his Disciples, into the towns of Caesarea Philippi: and by the way, he asked his Disciples, saying unto them, "Whom do men say that I am?" 28. And they answered, "John the Baptist: but some (say), 'Elias;' and others, One of the Prophets.' " 29. And he Saith unto them, "But whom saith ye that I am?" And Peter answereth and saith unto him, "Thou art the Christ." 30. And he charged them that they should tell no man of him. (4) NO CHURCH TEACHING THAT LORD YESHUA WAS BORN OF A VIRGIN IS OF GOD. . MARK 1:14-15. 14. Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching The Gospel of The Kingdom of God, 15. And Saying, "The Time is fulfilled, and the Kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe The Gospel." . LUKE 4:15-31. 15. And he taught in their Synagogues, being glorified of all. 16. And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the Synagogue on the Sabbath Day, and stood up for to read. 17. And there was delivered unto him The Book of the Prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the Book, he found the place where it was written, 18. "THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD IS UPON ME, BECAUSE HE HATH ANOINTED ME TO PREACH THE GOSPEL TO THE POOR; HE HATH SENT ME TO HEAL THE BROKENHEARTED, TO PREACH DELIVERANCE TO THE CAPTIVES, AND RECOVERY OF SIGHT TO THE BLIND, TO SET AT LIBERTY THEM THAT ARE BRUISED, 19. "TO PREACH THE ACCEPTABLE YEAR OF THE LORD." 20. And he closed the Book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him. 21. And he began to Say unto them, "This Day is this Scripture fulfilled in your ears." 22. And all bare him witness, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth. And they said, "Is not this Joseph's son?" 23. And he Said unto them, "Ye will surely say unto me this Proverb, 'PHYSICIAN, HEAL THYSELF: WHATSOEVER WE HAVE HEARD DONE IN CAPERNAUM, DO HERE IN THY COUNTRY.' " 24. And he said, "Verily I Say unto you, 'NO PROPHET IS ACCEPTED IN HIS OWN COUNTRY.' " 25. "But I tell you of a Truth, 'MANY WIDOWS WERE IN ISRAEL IN THE DAYS OF ELIAS, WHEN THE HEAVEN WAS SHUT UP THREE YEARS AND SIX MONTHS, WHEN GREAT FAMINE WAS THROUGHOUT ALL THE LAND; 26. 'BUT UNTO NONE OF THEM WAS ELIAS SENT, SAVE UNTO SAREPTA, A CITY OF SIDON, UNTO A WOMAN THAT WAS A WIDOW. 27. 'AND MANY LEPERS WERE IN ISRAEL IN THE TIME OF ELISEUS THE PROPHET; AND NONE OF THEM WAS CLEANSED, SAVING NAAMAN THE SYRIAN.' " 28. And all they in the Synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with wrath, 29. And rose up, and thrust him out of the city, and led him unto the brow of the hill whereon their city was built, that they might cast him down headlong. 30. But he passing through the midst of them went his way, 31. And came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and taught them on the Sabbath Days. . LUKE 7:19-23. 19. And John calling unto him two of his Disciples sent them to Jesus, saying, "Art thou he that should come? Or look we for another?" 20. When the men were come unto him, they said, John Baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying, 'ART THOU HE THAT SHOULD COME? OR LOOK WE FOR ANOTHER?' 21. And in that same hour he cured many of their Infirmities and Plagues, and of Evil Spirits; and unto many that were blind he gave sight. 22. Then Jesus answering Said unto them, "Go your way, and tell John what things ye have seen and heard; how that the Blind See, the Lame Walk, the Lepers are Cleansed, the Deaf Hear, the Dead are Raised, to the Poor The Gospel is preached. 23. "And Blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me." . MATTHEW 24:14. 14. "And This Gospel of The Kingdom shall be preached in all the World for a Witness unto all Nations; and then shall The End come." . MATTHEW 24:35. 35. "Heaven and Earth shall pass away, but my Words shall not pass away." . MATTHEW 28:16-20. 16. Then the Eleven Disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them. 17. And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted. 18. And Jesus came and Spake unto them, Saying, "All Power is given unto me in Heaven and in Earth. 19. "Go ye therefore, and Teach all Nations, baptizing them in The Name of the Father, and of The Son, and of The Holy Ghost: 20. "Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have Commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto The End of The World." Amen. THE ONLY GOSPEL LORD YESHUA AUTHORIZED IS THE SAME ONE WHICH HE HIMSELF PREACHED ON THE EARTH. Any Church that does not preach THAT Gospel cannot teach you to become a True Christian. If you want to compare yourself with other False Christians, you can be better than some, that do not try hard, or worse than others who try hardest of all. But the fact is that everyone taught by MAN can NEVER be a REAL CHRISTIAN. There is nothing brain-straining about what I have just shown you. SALVATION IS ALL ABOUT SHOWING GOD THAT YOU CAN FOLLOW SIMPLE INSTRUCTIONS- THAT IS ALL. |
