so you're in other words saying a child or foetus dead has no judgement irrespective of he's parents wether believers or not?

I gave you the words of God not mine. However, in jurisprudence, after judgment there is a sentence; for the unborn, infants and children, Heaven is their sentence. All I have written concerning the OP’s writeup is the sentence of all children - this implies that there will be a judgement.

iTroll:
I will reiterate that I don't believe any sin is greater than the other.

A sinful believer is as guilty as a disbelieving believer.

You seem to be looking at this matter from the lenses of religion. Take a step back and find another perspective to this matter. Take spirituality as an example.

Sorry the message wasn’t intended for you. You could delete my response on your comment. Thanks

someone please clear my doubt, why is it that everyone turns "SEX" as the greatest sin and always emphasize on it. when u have sex they look at you as if u have committed the greatest sin. what of murder, false witness, stealing, backbiting, and other sin. are they lesser sin. this happens mostly in Africa. if someone come to preach to you. they term based all the topic on sex and neglect other sin....

Fornication is not the greatest sin. The greatest sin is unbelief.

Funny god

Even AMADIOHA and Ekwensu aren't so evil

Even Amadioha punishes the wicked and destroys everything the wicked person possesses. I guess you are making a case for the wicked not to be sent to hell.

Many Christians have made the true God have a bad face; this is not meant to be so. “Hell” means “the grave” - this is all men’s destination, wicked or innocent - You and I have that as our final destination in this life.

The “Hell” or “Hell of fire” you have in mind is misunderstood by many people including Christians; and since many people refuse to read, they are led or misled by oral comments and traditions. The “Hell of fire” Christ spoke about was a place that is devoid of the benefits of God; from the report of ‘Lazarus and the rich man‘, it is a place without time, a place of regretful reminisce and without comfort. It is also a place where a wicked person’s heart still remains the same after death - because he has refused to acknowledge God while he was alive, God has left him permanently in the afterlife - it is this state that is referred to as “fire”.

I’ll give you this picture: it is said: “time heals”; where there is no time, that means our disappointments and pains will be as fresh as they have been from the moment we first felt them. I don’t know if a girl has ever broken your heart; if this has happened to you and you never recovered, isn’t that “fire”? But time, a benefit from God, has healed you. God has shown that He will never throw humans into a literal fire, so why do people say he will do such? If you believed them, whose fault is it?

what about an unbelievers child or an aborted foetus?

All children, whether born to unbelievers or not, are God’s own. Nineveh wasn’t under Abraham’s covenant yet God’s heart was with all the children of that country. In Ezekiel 23, God shows us that all children conceived in the womb are his own even if their parents are unrighteous or unbelievers, as you put it.

An ultrasound shows foetus moving and having feelings - this means they have life and sensibilities - they have a soul - only their bodies are undeveloped. Do you remember when God said to Jeremiah this words?: "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, And before you were born I consecrated you;" This shows that God gives an individual commission before He gives that individual being. So, God declares the ownership of the unborn foetus even before it is formed. I’d like to ask this: if you possess a piece of land which has not been developed for many years, does its undeveloped state invalidate your C of O? If you answer in the affirmative, then God doesn’t lose His ownership of the soul of the aborted foetus.

Also I’d like to quote the prophecy of Zechariah: “The LORD, who stretches out the heavens, who lays the foundation of the earth, and who forms the human spirit within a person”: by the title God declares Himself by, it’s the human spirit that is the life of a being, and it is the source of life to the body. Several verses in the scriptures show that when God interacts with humans, He interacts with the spirit not the body; the foetus, like fully developed humans have spirits, and they will return to God if life is taken from their body.

Isn't that an impolite way of expressing your thought about him?

I’m smiling. I don’t know what to say? I once told Muttley that he didn’t exercise the best of his cerebral strength in one of his responses and he freaked out. Isn’t that a polite way to express what I thought about his response? His mind told him that I said he was dull (but I followed the polite route).

I don’t think a polite route would have been good for this guy for the intention of his heart. Maybe my mind is tired (It really is now); I should always follow the polite route for everyone whose words aren’t intelligent or divisive, I guess.

Reelafonja:
but there is no children in the biblical passage you quoted

Good morning. Please read the second paragraph:

It is written in Ezekiel 33: “the Sovereign LORD, am the living God, I do not enjoy seeing sinners die”.

In the scriptures, the term “sinner” or “wicked” is used to describe a hardened offender, a habitual criminal, a regular felon, those whose actions or inactions resist the course of nature etc. No child falls into these descriptions because their innocence restrains them. Then if God does not enjoy seeing sinners condemned, how much more would He not enjoy the condemnation of the innocent?

If the words of Abraham are what you are referring to, don’t you know that the word “righteous” is a synonym of the word “innocent”? Please, don’t be in a haste when you want to speak.

Please follow the thread to the very end to see the truth of the matter.

He speaks mysteries(meaning undecipherable to the intellect) IN the spirit(would include other spirits). He edifies himself. He speaks to God.
Every physical exercise edifies your body but not your spirit. Even discussions edify your mind as well as brain. Likewise every spiritual exercise edifies your spirit but not your mind in this par

Furthermore, you need to acknowledge that your position can't work with the example of known tongues you gave. As hooper has done enough to show that 1Cor14 referencing Is28 is unintelligible to the hearers(a sign to the unbelievers that they are out of fellowship with Divinity while we are) and Mye.r has shown you that your position will no longer be a manifestation of the Spirit since you have learned the language.
Also, 1Cor14:2 shows that it is mysteries and 1Cor14:14 shows that even the speaker's intellect is left in the dark.
So your position as well as the general balderdash in pentecostal circles won't work.
Notice I have maintained my position from the beginning without moving left or right. And there is no scriptural stance to refute it.

You got me thinking when I read your comment this morning. As I respond, I type in the hope that I’ll be coherent and rather than thinking before responding, I’ll think as I respond.

Paul makes one thing clear: It is better to prophesy (interpret the scriptures) than to speak in an unknown tongue.

I showed in my writeup that the “mysteries” Paul spoke of the second verse of 1 Corinthians 14 is ‘the foretelling of Christ’s life, death and resurrection’ in persons, events, allegory etc. in the Old Testament (Romans 5:14, Col. 2:16-17, Heb.11:19). A few of us including me have said the unknown tongue is a human language; are we correct? I’ll know at the end of my response.

The tension between prophecy and the unknown language here is this: if I do not know that the mysteries spoken of in the scriptures have already been fulfilled, whether I speak or pray in a known tongue or an unknown tongue, my understanding is unfruitful. (v.14).

There are three sets of people Paul makes reference to in this chapter:
1. The gifted one
2. The unlearned.
3. The outsider (the new entrant into the congregation).

When you align all Paul says concerning these three sets of people, all he wants are these: distinctiveness of sound and/or coherency of reasoning (v.7-9) - all must understand what the speaker is saying. So, Paul says: “tongues” are a sign to unbelievers: what are they to believe? How are they to believe? Paul’s mission statement was this: “For I determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified.” The unbelieving were to believe the resurrection of Christ (Chapter 15); They were to believe by preaching through the interpretation of the scriptures and the revealing of the gospel (Romans 10:9-10); Then we should ask this: what language would convey the gospel of Christ’s resurrection to the unbelieving, human tongue or angelic tongue? By human understanding or reasoning, the gospel (whether spoken in angelic or human tongue) is unintelligible (gibberish) because no man has ever died and risen (c15:12-14). Therefore, it is reasonable that the gospel of the risen Christ be made knowledgeable by the working of the gift of tongues, known local dialect and simplicity of expression, to the unbelieving; If I produce a sound with my tongue, if they do not produce a distinction in the tones, how will it be known what is played on the flute or on the harp?

funmike83:
How are we sure u are real

.
Jesus said to Nicodemus: Just as those who looked in faith to the serpent in the wilderness were healed, so those who look in faith to the lifted up Son of Man will have eternal life.

When the issues of life cause faith or fear to be employed, one usually directs these feelings to an object. When Nicodemus was troubled in his heart, he directed his fear to a man called “Jesus”. When we peruse Jesus’ response to him, Jesus seems to say, in the past, when men needed healing of the soul, they looked to a mere man and idols. Now, they are to look to Me.

What the OP is doing is contrary to the words of Christ; He has covered what is true, presenting falsehood as the truth; he even claims to have the gift of Joseph, who is a type of Christ. Anyone who wants an interpretation of dreams - an issue of faith, should ask Christ like Nicodemus did. Anything else, is to fall into a ditch and be buried.

Hebrews 1:1-2: God, after He spoke long ago to the fathers in the prophets in many portions and in many ways, in these last days has spoken to us in His Son

God who gave the answer to mysteries through Joseph, does so now through Christ, alone.

Lee29:
The passionate, sometimes rhythmic, language-like patter that pours forth from religious people who “speak in tongues” reflects a state of mental possession, many of them say. Now they have some neuroscience to back them up.

Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania took brain images of five women while they spoke in tongues and found that their frontal lobes — the thinking, willful part of the brain through which people control what they do — were relatively quiet, as were the language centers. The regions involved in maintaining self-consciousness were active. The women were not in blind trances, and it was unclear which region was driving the behavior.

The images, appearing in the current issue of the journal Psychiatry Research: Neuroimaging, pinpoint the most active areas of the brain. The images are the first of their kind taken during this spoken religious practice, which has roots in the Old and New Testaments and in Pentecostal churches established in the early 1900s. The women in the study were healthy, active churchgoers.

“The amazing thing was how the images supported people’s interpretation of what was happening,” said Dr. Andrew B. Newberg, leader of the study team, which included Donna Morgan, Nancy Wintering and Mark Waldman. “The way they describe it, and what they believe, is that God is talking through them," he said.

Dr. Newberg is also a co-author of “Why We Believe What We Believe.”

In the study, the researchers used imaging techniques to track changes in blood flow in each woman’s brain in two conditions, once as she sang a gospel song and again while speaking in tongues. By comparing the patterns created by these two emotional, devotional activities, the researchers could pinpoint blood-flow peaks and valleys unique to speaking in tongues.

Ms. Morgan, a co-author of the study, was also a research subject. She is a born-again Christian who says she considers the ability to speak in tongues a gift. “You’re aware of your surroundings,” she said. “You’re not really out of control. But you have no control over what’s happening. You’re just flowing. You’re in a realm of peace and comfort, and it’s a fantastic feeling.”


Contrary to what may be a common perception, studies suggest that people who speak in tongues rarely suffer from mental problems. A recent study of nearly 1,000 evangelical Christians in England found that those who engaged in the practice were more emotionally stable than those who did not. Researchers have identified at least two forms of the practice, one ecstatic and frenzied, the other subdued and nearly silent.

The new findings contrasted sharply with images taken of other spiritually inspired mental states like meditation, which is often a highly focused mental exercise, activating the frontal lobes.


The scans also showed a dip in the activity of a region called the left caudate. “The findings from the frontal lobes are very clear, and make sense, but the caudate is usually active when you have positive affect, pleasure, positive emotions,” said Dr. James A. Coan, a psychologist at the University of Virginia. “So it’s not so clear what that finding says” about speaking in tongues.

The caudate area is also involved in motor and emotional control, Dr. Newberg said, so it may be that practitioners, while mindful of their circumstances, nonetheless cede some control over their bodies and emotions.

Correction:

An article in Science Times on Tuesday about brain images of people speaking in tongues misstated the origins of the practice in America. It is thought to have begun in Pentecostal churches established in the early 1900s, not in charismatic churches. The charismatic movement began decades later.

Not as you think. Let me just show a few verses from that Book.

The charismatic sashes

Chapter 48

1. Thus, when the one called Hermera arose, she wrapped around her own string just as her father said.

2 And she took on another heart—no longer minded toward (Pg. 866) earthly things—

3 but she spoke ecstatically in the angelic dialect, sending up a hymn to God in accord with the hymnic style of the angels. And as she spoke ecstatically, she allowed “The Spirit” to be inscribed on her garment.

Chapter 49

1 Then Kasia bound hers on and had her heart changed so that she no longer regarded worldly things.

2 And her mouth took on the dialect of the archons and she praised God for the creation of the heights.

3 So, if anyone wishes to know “The Creation of the Heavens,” he will be able to find it in “The Hymns of Kasia.”

Chapter 50

1 The the other one also, named Amaltheia’s Horn, bound on her cord. And her mouth spoke ecstatically in the dialect of those on high.

2 Since her heart also was changed, keeping aloof from worldly things. For she spoke in the dialect of the cherubim, glorifying the master of virtues by exhibiting their splendor.

3 And finally whoever wishes to grasp a trace of “The Paternal Splendor” will find it written down in the “Prayers of Amaltheia’s Horn.”

The Book didn’t make it to the Christian canons: At the end of the 5th century, the Testament of Job was relegated to the apocrypha.

Yep. The word "kainos" always referred to unprecedented.

Brother, you know a point came in my life where I realised I can only really know the things of God by His Spirit and not my intelligence which falls far short. So I gave up on it and began to seek God with an open heart. And true to Himself, He was merciful to me and began to show me Himself. That's why I always recommend every believer does same as we all have the same Holy Spirit in us.(Jn14:26, 1Cor2:10-13)
That way we would all be edified towards unity of faith and gradually less divided.
My position remains what is consistent with my experience and Paul's exposition as in my first post.

But I picked up a few things from our scriptural exchange too. Great thread before it was derailed. Well done and God bless.

I didn’t stop studying after our discussion was marred by dubious men.

I wanted to check if my write-up was consistent with the scriptures. Then I stretched my tentacles to chapter 15. Behold, I saw the word “Writings” appearing three times; Between the second Corinthians and second Timothy, it appeared ten times. “The scriptures“, the word used in many Bible versions is translated as “Holy writings”. “Writings” is the English translation for “Ketuvim” or “ Hagiographa“; while the Holy Writings is what is called Tanakh - The Five Books of Moses (Torah), Nevi'im ('Prophets') and Ketuvim ('Writings').

One book that is not fashioned after the traditional Writings and has been classified as an Apocrypha is The Testament of Job literature. One major deviation of this literature is the content on angelic tongues and angelic form of worship in Heaven. In this literature, Job bestows his physical assets to his sons and a supernatural gift for his daughters; three heavenly made sashes that when worn, cause his daughters to enter a different mental state where eternal ones replace the present realities. It also causes them to sing exalted hymns in the dialect of certain angels. Did the infatuation for Knowledge cause the Corinthian church to delve into this apocrypha and cause Paul to react?

The word new (kainos) is always used in the sense of "unprecedented" in Gk language.

There are diverse species of angels and diverse angel tongues too.

So, I believe when the Lord spoke of new tongues(Mk16:17), he wasn't referring to tongues of men but of angels because "new"(kainos) meant "never before existing" i.e. never before been in existence as huper pointed out.

These?

Dtruthspeaker:
You speak well, yet you are not a lawyer, can I presume the learner of law at Bwari or Enugu?

My second question your Just Judge Analysis, where did you get that from?

Are you a Paulinus?

Yes, every case is peculiar but I Hate the Judgements that come out from this shit Courts, just look at the Orji Uzor Kalu's case, the supreme Court governor shit, men these judges just don't know what it means to be a judge!

Thank you for your kind words.

When you see many judgements from “kangaroo” courts around the world especially in third-world countries (a few days ago, one sentenced a man to death-by-stoning for apostatizing from his former belief), one yearns for J-U-S-T-I-C-E even on their dying bed. Justice can only be found when a just judge presides over a case; an unjust one is an abomination - a virus of the worst kind; only monsters would preside over court cases that administer laws like the “Black codes“ that has left a legacy of racism, more than 200 years later. Hmmm, The Just judge view is just my guide to understanding how a judge can judge so that the end results are love, sanity, fairness and a blissful posterity; it’s effect cannot be overstated.

Today, we remember ‘The Merchant of Venice’ because of the conundrum the righteous judgment placed on Shylock; If God is just, He must punish the offender rightly; if He is must tender justice with mercy, He must provide a substitute to take the place of the offender; All are born in sin including children; for children, the substitute has been provided and they have no choice in the matter because good laws consider first, the well being of the child, and their actions can not nullify the first law in children’s rights.

No child will be damned after their demise; they have a one-way ticket to be with God.

Dtruthspeaker:
Oh, you saw that judgement too? All similar cases ought to follow that path including the lawyer accused of killing her husband.

What think ye?

By the way, beautiful breakdown up there!

Hi, I haven’t read the story of the woman killing her husband. My intro was intended to highlight that there are certain concessions that a just judge should have towards children and the vulnerable. It’s possible that the child killed her assailant in self defense; but it is highly unlikely that the murder of the rapist was premeditated especially if that was the first time he tried to defile the minor.

When adults are involved in a crime, then the complexities of the human mind (the type not found in children) are taken into consideration; hence, motive is a very important course during investigation.

All righteous laws are designed to defend the defendant (the accused) until all evidence proves the guilt of the defendant. When the defendant is a child, the law is “tender“, the best interest of the child is considered, even when a sentence pronounced. Even if a child is sentenced to the lake of fire, God in His infinite mercy and kindness wouldn’t let the child stay past a second because a child is a child.

You said, “all similar cases must follow the same path”; I’m not a lawyer but from the little I know, all cases that have similar idiosyncrasies usually have the same judgement; however, all cases are treated based on their peculiarities. If the scripture that says, “That which has been is that which will be, And that which has been done is that which will be done. So there is nothing new under the sun”, is correct, then judges would have easy judgements each day at the court; but that doesn’t happen, do they? Cases with similar patterns are usually few and far between.

Missyajoke:
It is well

A dream is capable of making its dreamer uneasy for days, even years. When an opportunity like this presents itself again, please show the dreamer compassion: offer to pray for him/her, fast and offer to search the scriptures, so that you may get a clue of what the dream means. If you wouldn’t do all of these things, there is even compassion in silence.

Surely, if you would offer to pray, fast and search the scriptures, an interpretation would surely come, through you or another.

Missyajoke:
What's the meaning of this, it's people like you that interpret the bible upside down, So you're trying to tell me Deborah in the bible was what? Change your thinking. If there can be a female preacher why not a Prophet or Prophetess.
Read about Kathryn Khulman and others in God's general. What a man can do a Woman can do better. Please change your thinking.

The Head in Israel was Barak in Deborahs time. In Israel, The Leader of the People was the King and the High Priest. The only “Head” in Israel that was a woman was Queen Ataliah- she was a witch. You should have read the context of my response and the context from the scriptures.

You may be angry at my response; but are you a prophetess? Are you a General in God’s army? If you can’t reply in the affirmative, your interpretation is false. Those women or men may be “Generals” but they are not the Head, Christ.

Missyajoke:
Don't know.

There isn’t one. Dream interpretation is the role of a “Head” - Women don’t fall into this category. Joseph and Daniel were “Heads” in their time.

One thing common with dream interpreters is their compassion; your first response to the OP was unkind and insensitive to his feelings. Therefore, this shows that you are not qualified to be an interpreter; and your interpretation is false.

Secondly, Daniel used his training from ‘every branch of knowledge and wisdom’ he acquired by reading and learning to interpret dreams; what we have today that matches that description is the Bible; your interpretation was a an emission of your ‘human‘ understanding and feelings, where no reference to the Bible or any other book was made.

“Heads” always read; they have immense skill in understanding the scriptures. “Heads” are compassionate. “Heads” are revered as God. Today, Christ is our “Head”; All understanding of spiritual things can only come from Him. Let OP ask Christ for interpretation.

Missyajoke:
Critical analysis of your dream
1. Someone particularly a lady is trying to get close to you and once she gets close to you you're finished . Be careful of your dealings with ladies.
2. The stairs parts means she's trying to lure you into her trap and once you're entrapped you may never be free from it


Be careful in your dealings with ladies. God bless

In all scripture, I never saw a female dream interpreter, why?

LoL! What a confused jumble. First off, I didn't make the videogame or the rules it follows. So you are blaming me the videogame player for the rules that the designer of the videogame made.

Second, if I were a god I would not make such a universe as we currently have. This universe is uncaring, unfeeling and spares no thought for your sensibilities. The vagaries of life could set you up for death or dismemberment the very next second. This is the universe you think your god made and you want to celebrate your blood thirsty god idea like it's the epitome of morality.

I would be a god and I would use god powers, just like the one you can't explain, that's how I'd do it. LoL.
In removing the power and desire to hurt other humans why would I need to follow your bloodthirsty god's trap setting methods? Your god deliberately sets traps so that it can wreak vengeance. I wouldn't be a bloody minded god so I don't need concepts like sin and abomination. Those are traps that your god set up so that he can find a reason to destroy. I as a god wouldn't need to play such bloody games. After removing the power or desire to hurt other humans you'd be hard pressed to see what humans would do that would deserve punishment on the scale your god likes.

You are a caring man. The world is a mess and we, both, want it to be better. I hope our expectations will be met someday, when a man would have God’s power to make this world alright.

Have a lovely week.

Even the ones that have never heard of your god and his salvation? LoL.

Yes. Even the ones who haven’t of the gospel will be saved. Please read everything I wrote - there is no distinction implied. Please, be patient.

Let me say it out loud: All children who face death in this world will make it Heaven, to be with their father!

LordReed:
LOL! Then when they stop being children the devil takes them over? LMFAO! This story is just disjointed fiction.

Your highness. Please read. I had said to James earlier that each child is unique in the development and in the knowledge of truth, to know the difference between sin and salvation. Please chew on this.

Can I ask you this: “How many countries have you been to?”
