Premise 1: There is no gainsaying the fact that the Bible is always true. It has stood rigorous tests throughout the ages. It's history is well corroborated(not that it's needful, anyway), it's instructions has been proven to be the safeguard for peace and sanity in the society, IT'S PROPHECIES HAVE COME TO FULFILLMENT WITH UNBELIEVABLE ACCURACY . The candour with which Bible events were narrated is unparalleled. Uninspired historians often record their events with bias, making the main characters appear in the best light possible. But not so with the Spirit-inspired Word. The faults of its main characters are clearly stated, often more elaborately than their feats. Moreover, it has been proven that the Bible is devoid of contradictions. Indeed, the Bible is always true.

Tongues can be imitated I know that quite alright, but the one I speak is different from those people can speak, I for once never learnt it, I was prayed for an I received it. if anyone fakes it, they are free to, but it won't accomplish that for which it was sent.

Many times like you say, when I don't have something to say, I switch to tongues, that's normal, I speak in tongues based on some reasons
*God knows about my life better than I do, and there us a limit to what my understanding can say while praying, and not to talk about the endless repetition of the same prayer points over and over again, so lemme speak in tongues and I would address what I find very hard to address in understanding, via speaking in tongues, like I said, if its not tongues, its a sheer waste of time. its like you are investing so much in gathering goods which no one would certainly buy, that's how speaking in tongues without inspired utterance seem like

GodsMopol:
Personally, I sing some songs of which I really can't do even right now, I must be inspired, sometimes, I write some creative article which I can never tell how I was able to gather them, I have prayed for a particular guy in school and while praying for him, he was shaking, as in vibrations, while praying in tongues with him, recently I was with a friend and he was telling this lady, actually evangelism, and he was telling this ladies, things that no one could know except friends, bro, this things are real

GodsMopol:
the impossibilities without the Holy Ghost is righteousness, peace and joy, those are the ones I can say for now

tripplephi:
lols bros you were schooled wrongly o

THE HOLYSPIRIT IS NOT FOR SELFCONTROL RATHER FOR LIFE-CONTROL

PLS IT IS RUDE TO UNDERESTIMATE THE HOLY SPIRIT O

ALL YOUR LOGIC IS USELESS COS THE ESSENCE OF THE HOLYGHOST IS NOTHING LIKE SELF CONTROL


How can God in HIS wisdom give us a holyspirit for what our human will can do... MORALITY is relative and doesn't impress GOD. you can abstain from all evils and still go to hell.

USE THE BIBLE NEXT TIME IF YOU WANT TO KNOW THE HOLYSPIRIT.... in the OLD testament there was no HOLYSPIRIT and people still had self control.
AM NOT A CHRISTIAN but I HAVE THE HOLYSPIRIT and he is so precious to me... HE EXPLAINS THE BIBLE TO ME AND EMPOWERS ME TO CONTROL LIFE AND ITS OUTCOMES.... so pls next time have relevant facts before speaking such things.

DoctorAlien:
The Bible says knowledge will increase in the end times, and not just knowledge about GOD. Stop constructing strawman arguments.

DoctorAlien:
Read and think upon the last clause.

DoctorAlien:
The Bible indeed prophesied about this age of ICT. Read Daniel 12:4 with KJV.

Niflheim:
@Doctor alien,

You have no argument!!!............................................Since when did "wishful thinking" become an argument?

Richirich713:
Yes seriously.

That's not his argument, that's a strawman.

DoctorAlien:
ARGUMENT FROM THE BIBLE
Premise 1: The Bible is always true.
Premise 2: The Bible states that GOD exists.
Conclusion: Therefore GOD exists.

GodsMopol:
I am not saying the Holy Ghost primary assignment is in the area of purity, there are many other things which the Holy Spirit does, like telling or showing us things to come, He also helps us pray as we should have prayed, The Holy Spirit helps us in our relationship with God in the sense that, He's a present help in time of need, but the truth is, the more time we spend with the Holy Spirit, the better our understand of who and what He has for us becomes, in other word, I would say, the Holy Spirit is a partner we understand overtime, but I believe one thing the Holy Spirit so much detest is sin. He's called Holy Spirit, a non Christian can lead a sinless life without the Holy Spirit, there are many possibility outside the Holy Spirit, and there are many impossibilities outside the Holy Spirit, Shalom

limamintruth:
Oh, what don't I know bro.?
Don't tell me 'akintom' is one of those non-christians that are keen in finding faults about Christianity pls, because I don't actually understand these series of irrelevant back & forth questions about the Christian faith they don't profess.

limamintruth:
Alright, I really don't fancy discussing biblical issues with persons who don't even believe in the Holy Bible to begin with. This is because my answers are strictly dependent upon biblical principles which you do not believe in. So hope you can see the dilemma there?
It's akin to beating an already dead horse.

However, I'll leave you with the following:

Romans 6:1&2
"Shall we then continue in sin that grace may abound?
Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it?"

Galatians 5:13
"For you were called to freedom, brethren; only do not turn your freedom into an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another."

2 Timothy 2:19
"Nevertheless, God’s solid foundation stands firm,sealed with this inscription: “The Lord knows those who are his,”and, “Everyone who names/confesses the name of the Lord must turn away from iniquity.”

Note that it is important to make God your priority and don't waste time scrutinizing how others do theirs. Your direction should come from His word entirely, and not from a mortal man that is prone to imperfections. tnx.

GodsMopol:
the Holy Ghost helps our infirmities, Paul said, give no place to the devil, in other sense, the Holy Ghost could keep you from sinning, but when the devil comes with his fiery darts, you need to be equipped to know, Paul said, we are not ignorant of his vices, another said, we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers, against spiritual wickedness in high places, the truth is, any of this things, if we ignorantly ignore their ability to hurt us, the devil would capitalize on it, moreso, I can't guarantee a spirit filled and tongue speaking Christian of the ability of not falling into sin, we are all human, we many times, yeild to the flesh than to the spirit, the Holy Spirit is there to help, we can refuse his help and he won't struggle with us, and pufff, we have sinned, but John said, if any man sins, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous, so come back to God and God would forgive you

GodsMopol:
many times, okay, yesterday, I was checking a list of movies at a sales outlet and I could barely find one without my mind telling me that there would be n*de contents on them, and later I logged into the front page of nl and I saw many xrated posts which I don't feel is good to the view of a Christian, it might affect their spiritual stand with God, many are not really as strong as that, many are still guiding their salvation with all diligence, and if sites like that which promote clean post and non provoking post can come up, it would be a good ground for Christians

GodsMopol:
you would become an atheist when you misunderstand the Bible, sir

limamintruth:
The answer to your question above is dependent on whether or not clubhouse business is a pure/clean/godly venture. And based on my opinion as I earlier stated, it is not.

Thus, is it right for the church to accept tithe gotten from the proceeds of such a business venture? Simply put, it is NOT right. As the Holy Bible puts it, "Who can bring what is pure/holy from the impure/unholy? No one. (Job 14:4)".
Remember, you can neither bribe nor mock God i.e you cannot be working contrary to His principles and then turn around to offer him proceeds from your unholy acts. The Bible further says the sacrifice of a sinner is abomination unto God.

BTW, are you an atheist? Because I don't get the first sentence of your last paragraph.

limamintruth:
We are saying the same thing then.
However there is nothing sinful or wrong in being a male gynaecologist. That is a noble profession that seeks to save lives by rendering medical services to the female folk. All that matters is to be truly God fearing and always work in utmost good faith.

Seun:
I just can't come up with any non-pervy reason why a male doctor would want to be a gynecologist, among all the fields he could choose from.

tripplephi:
TO OWN is to accept and vouch for the ideals and values of the enterprise, THATS DIFFERENT.... MATTHEW WAS A TAX COLLECTOR... he owned it and yet gave it up... THE CENTURION SOLDIER didnt stop being a soldier o.... hope u see the difference... WITH GREAT POWER COMES GREAT RESPONSIBILITY.

A CHRISTIAN CAN WORK IN A BEER PARLOUR but NOT own it... cos WORKING does not involve drinking.... its only when HE OWNS IT THEN THAT MEANS HE SUPPORTS IT.

CHRISTIANS OWN HOTELS... they wont allow prostitutes there but if you bring one in.... they will not stop you. ITS ALL about VALUES....

limamintruth:
You can't compare being a doctor and operating a nightclub bro. Nightclubs promote ungodliness such as drunkenness, prostitution e.t.c.
In all, the intent matters most. Thus, if ever there is a nightclub that is purely for relaxation purpose, and that does not promote immorality or the intake of substances capable of causing drunkenness & other mental misbehaviour; then, such nightclub can't be termed as unholy venture. But we know that is not the case with virtually all nightclubs.

in NIGERIA we have PASTOR WORSHIPPERS not Christians... they wont look into the bible to find the truth..... OLD SORE needs healing. They are not having a direct relationship with GOD o... so they go to priests and pastors to give them what they want to hear. CHRISTIANS in naija are the only set of people that feel GUILTY FOR EVERYTHING and CRITICIZE everyone else.....

If we would sit to read our bibles ourselves with a clear heart looking for answers... we would be shocked that many pastors have lied to us..... and some of the few ones who speak the pure truth have very small churches and "boring messages"

by the grace of God things will get better.

.. If a person is truly a christian he/she can even work in GUINNESS and not be drinking any alcoholic stuff..

If 'magaging gynaecology cases' involves compulsorily seeing the nudity of the opposite sex and touching their sensitive organs, the answert to your question is a capital letter NO sir.

CatfishBilly:
You still haven't answered the question.
Is it okay for a male born again Christian to be a doctor since they will all manage gynecology cases even if they are gynecologists or not?

CatfishBilly:
Here it is

Pidgin2:
This is a sensitive topic. As a Christian, my personal opinion remains that it is very wrong for a male believer to be a gynecologist

1) Examining the breast of a woman that is not your wife as a heterosexual male is wrong
2) Examining the private parts of a female that isn't your wife is totally wrong
3) Some male doctors develop feelings for their patients and vice versa
4) Our sight is a gateway to temptation
5) If a woman examines the private parts of a male patient how will he feel, assuming he has a wife, how will she feel?

I can go on but let me stop here, it is wrong and no religions supports it
