No need of all these stories just go to North Korea and reveal a single thing about Jim and come back to thank me! cheesy

See your hypocrisy exposed once again. Now North Korea is the standard regarding criminal cases involving busybody.

When your religious organization looks for freedom of speech, association e.t.c you raise the USA to the high heavens grin grin grin grin now that it concerns busybody and you know USA don't really have much in that direction you quickly embrace North Korea. The same North Korea that your religious organization will condemn as Satan's agent, war machine and bloodthirsty people who consider military first.

A United Nations Commission of Inquiry concluded that the North Korean government perpetrates crimes against humanity against its own people, including, “extermination, murder, enslavement, torture, imprisonment, rape, forced abortions and other sexual violence… and the inhumane act of knowingly causing prolonged

This is the same country that you regard as standard regarding offences concerning busybody a country that intrudes in the privacy of every single citizen grin grin grin

No wonder your religious organization suffers a lot from countries that adopt the similar kind of government your GODS used in ruling over you. Take a look at these countries since they understand your mode of operation well.

1. Russia

2. China

3. North Korea

4. Iran

NO salvation is for all repentant sinners not only BORN AGAIN! smiley
So Christ lied when he said except a man be born again?
If being born again was not a condition for entering the kingdom, why would Christ have said so?

Direct question, do you need to be born again to enter the kingdom of God?

NO!
Because i'm not a Jew anticipating to rule with Christ in his kingdom but if i have to be with him in his kingdom as one of his corulers then i must be BORN AGAIN because flesh and blood can't go to where his government will be established: heaven smiley

That's why i said the term: Kingdom of God
As used by Jesus has two different meanings it doesn't apply the same way in the case of a member of the Jewish high court and a gentile.

When Jesus used that term for Nicodemus he was talking about ruling with Christ in heaven {John 3:3-5} and the same applies to the rich ruler whom Jesus asked to go and sell everything he had! Luke 18:18-23

Note that he didn't say the same to common Jews who only want to enjoy the benefit of Christ's reign but to Jewish rulers who wants more than just being subjects of God's kingdom! smiley
Where is it written that the Kingdom of God has 2 meanings.
Hence there are 2 kingdoms

He was addressing a member of the Jewish high court in that group they believe that the Christ will select his corulers in their midst.

That's why Jesus used an illustration to show them that their reward if they're ready to be saved will be the same with all other people! READ Matthew 20:1-16
This illustration shows that both Jews and gentiles will gain the same thing: everlasting life.
But as for being corulers with Christ only God can choose and it must be among those that have received training from the King himself that's why none of those who lived before John the baptist can qualify because they never got the needed training to become corulers with Christ!

If only Jews can enter heaven Christ would have said so. He would have said except a Jew is born again he cannot enter the kingdom of heaven.
But he did not lie, he knew what he said, when he said except a man, that covers all humans both Jews and non Jews. Unless you don't think non Jews are human.

Where did i lied nah? cheesy

I said the thief can't be a BORN AGAIN not that he can't be saved because he has gotten a Visa to Paradise. Remember Peter was addressing his BORN AGAIN Christian brothers that they shouldn't suffer as a thief because it's impossible for a thief to be BORN AGAIN note that doesn't mean such a person can't get to Paradise but to rule with Christ? No way for a thief! smiley


All this your madness and insanities peddling so far has no basis or foundation to stand upon. What tctrills is doing to you is to expend your arsenal of lies and manipulations grin grin grin grin

1. In content and context nothing in that 1 Peter 4 account is talking about crimes or sins that won't qualify born again to be in God's kingdom.


2. Or do you not know that unrighteous people will not inherit God’s Kingdom?+ Do not be misled. Those who are sexually immoral, idolaters, adulterer, men who submit to homosexual acts, men who practice homosexuality, 10 thieves, greedy people, drunkards, revilers, and extortioners will not inherit God’s Kingdom

From this account, IDOLATERS is not a criminal offence around the world. Definitely it is a SIN that born again can afford to do that and still go to heaven grin grin grin grin

But he did not lie, he knew what he said, when he said except a man, that covers all humans both Jews and non Jews. Unless you don't think non Jews are human.

According to God's plan it was only among the descendants of Jacob (Israel) that the Christ's corulers were to be selected they will serve as Kings and Priests over all other tribes of the earth {Exodus 19:5 compare to Revelations 7:5-8} so when Jesus was addressing Nicodemus the man knew what he is driving at.
It was because the nation of Israel lost that privilege. First of all ten tribes out of twelve turned away and never came back to pure worship these ones are called "Samaritans" {John 4:20-24} Jesus made it clear to the woman that only the Jews (three southern tribes) still have God's promise! John 4:22
So when Jesus told Nicodemus "except a man is born again" Nicodemus understood that it's within those to be selected among the Jews that's the import of what Jesus commanded his disciples when sending them out to preach:
These 12 Jesus sent out, giving them these instructions: “Do not go off into the road of the nations, and do not enter any Sa·marʹi·tan city; but instead, go continually to the lost sheep of the house of Israel" Matthew 10:5-6

Why segregation of Samaritans?
Are they not also descendants of Jacob?

Well it's because Jesus' mission was to gather his own corulers whom he referred to as his sheep {John 10:14} it's this first set that will go out and gather the subjects of God's kingdom throughout the earth {Matthew 28:19-20 compare to Act 1:8} these billions of subjects Jesus referred to as his "other sheep" John 10:16

That is why the book of Revelations said that John saw the lamb on mount Zion (God's supposed government house) with him 144,000 (his corulers) they will always be with him everywhere he goes! Revelations 14:1-5

It's after these set has been sealed that the great crowd of subjects emerged:

And I saw another angel flying in midheaven, and he had everlasting good news to declare to those who dwell on the earth, to every nation and tribe and tongue and people. He was saying in a loud voice: “Fear God and give him glory, because the hour of judgment by him has arrived, so worship the One who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and the springs of water.” Revelations 14:6-7

The highlighted in blue shows that the great crowd are not in the same location with the 144,000 though they're all worshiping God as one family {Revelations 7:9} so Jesus' promise that the other sheep will join the first set in pure worship will be fulfilled {John 10:16} but due to some reasons they can't be in the same location, the Jews have polluted Jerusalem by spilling out the blood of God's servants {Matthew 23:37-38} and finally they condemned the Christ in Jerusalem! Matthew 27:25

That's why Jesus promised his corulers that they will be taken to another location (heaven) and from there they will rule over the earth {John 14:1-3} but instead of the selection to come from only Israelites or Jews the invitation has been blown open to people from other nations of the earth so the 144,000 will be chosen from different nations not just Israel!

You're trying to misconstrue what i said.

Adultery according to God's word is a SIN but in other cultures around the world people don't take it as CRIME so those practicing it due to their pagan origin may be chosen as born again Christians after their conversion to Christianity but busybodies won't be because they are not doing it under any tradition.

So a former adulterer may be selected among the BORN AGAIN Christians {1Corinthians 9:10-11} but armed robbers, murderers, deliberate evildoers and busybodies can only gain everlasting life if they stop the evil act they can never ever become BORN AGAIN Christians! 1Peter 4:15

16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.

That's your entire point. 1. You never provided a passage of scripture that says only the Jews can go to heaven.
2. You agreed that Cornelius a gentile is born again.
3. No verse in the entire bible speaks about 2 Kingdoms of God
So where did this idea that no gentile goes to heaven comes from
4. Jesus Christ says you can't enter his kingdom if you are not born again.

That's your entire point. 1. You never provided a passage of scripture that says only the Jews can go to heaven.
2. You agreed that Cornelius a gentile is born again.
3. No verse in the entire bible speaks about 2 Kingdoms of God
So where did this idea that no gentile goes to heaven comes from

The one fold simply means both the Born Again Christians taken to heaven and their subjects on earth will believe and practice the same faith not that they will geographically be in the same location! John 4:24
Oga do you understand the meaning of one fold?
Jesus Christ already told you that he would bring his 2 fold together.
He clearly stated that he will join them together. Both folds were not practicing different faiths.
All the folds of Christ practiced the same faith.
Please was there ever a time that Jewish Christians and Gentle christians practiced different faiths?

So if both Jews and Gentiles go to the kingdom of Heaven and both Jews and Gentiles are born again, what is your point?
This clearly means that Jesus Christ meant what he said that unless a man is born again, (both Jew and gentile) he can't enter the kingdom of God.
