Hw did you belief that there is God when u did, in your house? Can u say there is God if u’ve not had an encounter (we do not av to deceive ourself) hw do u av the encounter, by being business oriented? What should we embrace wen we drop religion, to knw God as said and allow others perish? Do you even knw what ur religion is based on built upon? Is ur perspective about religion not been tampered with because of the association u mingled with? That there are fake ministers of God doesn’t erase the existence of real ones, hw is a topic like dis expected to guide ppl that has bn mislead like you or ppl that are about to b mislead?

THE PRINCE OF THIS WORLD HAS BLINDFOLDED THE EYES OF MEN, THEY CAN'T SEE LIGHT SHINNING RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEM


I really don't blame all the people saying trash about the God I have witnessed, Felt, seen, and experience


The one who continously reveals himself to me in mysterious ways!!

He is all I have, he is my hope!!

*and mind you, I don't do religion!! I consciously study to know and to experience him*


You can't tell a blind man to see, cause deep down he can't see... Neither can a blind man convince the ones that sees clearly that nairaland has green colours in the design!!

I think it comes to a point in a man's life when he express doubt about his belief which is usually not backed by physical evidence but doctrines that have been passed on from ages to ages. However, we need hope and respite from a higher being and so we always cling to God but we don't really know Him, then we base our knowledge on ancient texts because of their history. With science advancing the way it, people are now questioning God's existence because we are at the of advanced enlightenment. Knowledge about our world is growing. Infact if you ever went to space you would never believe in God's existence again. So it is a big challenge to keep the belief going and I pray our brothers and sisters find the right answers they seek.

that's why you need to bring your experience to help guide them back but some people would insult and accuse them of being possessed thereby pushing them away. Such people need tender care, intelligence and help. Don't bring in your sentiments at all.

Religion is man-made. It is composed of doctrines, rules and traditions of men...that lead anywhere but to God.

Religion is anti-christ as its main goal is to usurp the place of God in the heart and lives of his own, blinding people with falsehoods, rendering their worship/service meaningless essentially nullifying God's power in the lives of its adherents.

Religion is the anti-christ that Jesus warned His followers of.

Science actually should make people appreciate God more. if not that the force pushing science has an ulterior motive. Does having the knowledge of a very complex machine and how it works make you appreciate the inventor the more, or make you conclude it has no inventor, but was a result of an explosion caused by a suicide bomber?

Are you certain that the blindness you blame on the devil is real?
Did Jesus Christ tell you that you need a church to help you grow?
If so, why did He install His own Spirit inside of you as a Helper, guide, instructor, comforter, and counselor?
How do you show the love that you teach? By preaching love that only exists in your mind and does not go beyond that?
Did Jesus Christ suggest that your perspective ought to make you a better person in your community?
What community would that be?
The community within the 4-walls of your church, or the place where you live(with your neighbors including enemies surrounding you)?

first differentiate God from religion, you will see that DAT dude madecsence

What does God have to say about all of this?

Kobojunkie:

What does God have to say about all of this?

The Bible said whoever endures to the end shall be saved. That many saints would leave the faith. So that's what God is saying. As people would say is better to believe and go to heaven and see it was all scam and not to believe at all and go to heaven and see that God is real. I would say God is real from the beauty of his creation

Yet you believe your god can heal the blind.

I've witnessed him heal the blind eyes, don't go too far use myself as paradigm I had myopia now I see clearly

Then for the so called spiritually blind your god is powerless to do anything?

Sorry, will be saved by what? For what? From what?

Please go back and read that verse within the context(Matthew 24) it is housed and you will see that the events Jesus Christ spoke of there already happened.

the end is clear meaning the end of the world

jesmond3945:

The end of the temple and the world surrounding it, but a new beginning for Christianity. And then the end will come at about verse 14.
But the part you referenced in earlier verses, already happened.

i’m Sorry dat i’ll av to answer your question with question. Jesus is a son of God but has twelve disciples, can you tell me why? Do u call the buildings where we worship church? Where did I say dat d love dat I practice doesn’t go beyond d mind? Doesn’t Christ have his perspective? Doesn’t it reflect on his community and beyond even when he was surrounded and even punished by d enemies? Is there any correlation between Christianity and Christlike to you? Allow the spirit of God that’s in you to work, man’s understanding and knowledge will make u more confused.

merrymike47:

Because He had to teach them His truth so they could in turn disemminate that truth to others.

merrymike47:
Do u call the buildings where we worship church?

Those buildings are called churches. Have been since the very first such building went up back before even the first roman church in about 400 AD.

merrymike47:
Where did I say dat d love dat I practice doesn’t go beyond d mind?

So go ahead and tell me how you practice said, love.

merrymike47:
Doesn’t Christ have his perspective?

Christ's is the only Perspective that every one of those who claim to be His follower ought to have.

merrymike47:
Doesn’t it reflect on his community and beyond even when he was surrounded and even punished by d enemies?

Christ's perspective is what He lived and preached. It shone on those around Him, and those who encountered Him. Yes, it even shone on those who punished Him, and His enemies included.

merrymike47:
Is there any correlation between Christianity and Christlike to you?

Christianity today? No way! Christianity today has just a name associated with Christ and not much else.

merrymike47:

I don't have or teach man's understanding. I preach/repeat only that which is Christ's and from Christ's perspective.

Is d relationship dat you have personal or watch and do? Cos you seem to knw more of Christianity today. Let he dat tink he stand be careful, lest he fall. (This should b more interesting to you and b ur major concern sir. What I can say is dat you are confused because u spoke about Matthew 24 and u still talk like dis. I think you need to work on yourself more for now and bother less about what you think of others, thanks.
