There are differences between Christianity and religion, Many are GOING TO CHURCH but few are GOING DOWN THE ROAD WHICH LEADS TO LIFE. Many are RELIGIOUS but few are RIGHT WITH GOD.

Religion is DOING while Christianity is DONE. When Jesus cried on the cross, "it is finished" The work of our salvation was FINISHED, DONE, ACCOMPLISHED and COMPLETED. A religious man may be likened as a man who try to swim from river kaduna to niger by his own strength, he will never make it. But the man who is save by faith is likened to be a man who get on a ship, hoping it will take him to his destination. This man simply rests upon the ship and lets the ship do all the work.

THIS ARE THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN RELIGION AND CHRISTIANITY.
1. RELIGION: "Salvation is something I must do. I must somehow earn or gain salvation by the way I live."

CHRISTIANITY: "Salvation is something only God can do. Salvation is of the LORD!" (Eph. 2:8-9).

2. RELIGION: Religion is summed up in one word: DO--man trying to DO different things to please God and earn His favor.

CHRISTIANITY: Christianity is summed up in one word; DONE--Christ dying on the cross to save sinful man (John 19:30).

3. RELIGION: The religious man is busy
"working" (doing good works) in order to
be saved.

CHRISTIANITY: The saved person is "not working" (Rom. 4:5) but is RESTING upon the finished work of Another. Although he must beware (1 peter 5:

4. RELIGION: RELIGION is man trying to BRING HIMSELF TO GOD (by human effort, good works, ritualism, traditionalism, sacraments, etc.).

CHRISTIANITY: CHRISTIANITY is Christ BRINGING US TO GOD on the basis of what He did for us on the cross, NOT by our own effort. (1 Peter 3:18).

5. RELIGION: Man trying to please God in the wrong way (Rom. 8:8--"So then they that are in the FLESH cannot please God".

CHRISTIANITY: Man truly pleasing God in the only way (Hebrews 11:6--"But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him".

6. RELIGION: The religious man is seeking to establish his own righteousness by ignoring the way of the righteousness of God (Rom. 10:3).

CHRISTIANITY: The saved man is satisfied with the perfect righteousness of Jesus Christ (2 Cor. 5:21).

7.RELIGION: Religion is pictured in Genesis 3 by the fig leaves that Adam and Eve made for themselves--a terrible covering (Gen. 3:7).

CHRISTIANITY: Salvation is pictured in Genesis 3 by the coats of skin which God provided by way of the shedding of BLOOD--a perfect covering (Gen. 3:21).

8.RELIGION: CAIN'S RELIGION--"I bring to God the labour of my own hands" (Gen. 4:3).

CHRISTIANITY: ABEL'S FAITH--"I bring to God a blood sacrifice. An innocent substitute must die to save me" (Gen. 4:4).

Good works done by sinful man can never please a holy God. The greatest good work is GOD'S WORK accomplished by Jesus Christ who offered Himself on the cross as the sinner's Substitute.Thus we are not saved by good works but we are saved unto good works: "For we are
his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them" (Ephesians 2:10). "For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure" (Philippians 2:13).

Are you resting fully in the finished work of Christ? Are you trusting in Jesus Christ, WHO HE IS, WHAT HE HAS DONE FOR YOU and WHAT HE HAS SAID IN HIS WORD? "Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else" (Isaiah 45:22).

Good.
The religious aspect of the thread is referring to norminal Christians and muslims trying to please God in the power of the flesh.
The Bible says ''by strength shall no man prevail.
Neither is salvation obtainable by goog deed but through the finished work of Christ.

Make sense
Christianity isnt just some kind of religion but a way of life.

Finally, a thread on supernatural, i have not noticed it till now.

P.S. not all men cheat, n those that cheat only do so bcus someone (a woman) is ready to cheat/do the nasties with him.


A "real man" is the what we mostly call old-fashioned. A real man has manners, is polite, and considerate. He is honest and open and true to himself. He will fight for and defend the people that he loves. He is a hard-worker. He is not spiteful. He respects women and shows appreciation for all of his blessings.

A real man is the provider of the family. He is strong, physically and mentally, and is never too proud to exhibit strong emotion. Once committed, he is faithful to only her. He does not watch porn or disrespect her in any other way. He helps with housework and is a role model for his children. A real man knows who he is, what he wants, and is grateful for what he has.



The fact is we have guys like this. Soo pls stop saying all men r the same, just bcuz u met the wrong one or bcuz u were blinded by lust, or how the sex was great or his money, etc.

davydtroy:
Good day my fellow nairalanders. I don't even know where to start from. I'm so confused, I need matured advise please. I wouldn't go back to the scratch to tell you how I met the girl coz I don't wanna bore you with that. We've being close friends and often time we do have sex. whenever I want us to define the relationship she'll shy away from it or just tell me we are friends. Yet we do have sex, at times she spends the weekend in my lodge, virtually everyone in my compound thinks we're dating but right inside me I know we are not. Initially, I was enjoying the sex so weather the relationship is defined or not wasn't my problem. To my greatest surprise, I've started developing feelings for this girl. I'm falling for her which I don't wanna do coz I know sooner or later its gonna hurt me. I'm a kind of guy that when I love, I love with whole of my heart. I've told her to date me several times but she refused becoz she sees me as a guy who would be jealous and wouldn't give her a breathing space(which am not). What would I do so that I wouldn't fall for her. I can't send her away or stop her from coming to my place becoz I really like her. Even if am able to cajole her to date me, I strongly believe the relationship won't have a good prospect and sooner or later she'll go which is gonna hurt. So, how can I prevent myself from loving her? Pls pardon my blunders.

Stop being intimate with her then, the more u guys get hitched the more u love her according to u.
Tell her how u feel. Im sure if she's a "good friend " she'll understand.

All this una complicated relationship shaa

A foot, hand, n privates.
Na Frankenstein carrot b this o.
The carrots are alive!!! !!.
Aargh!!!!

Nawa. sometimes i think abt marriages and im like "oboi', how e go be like sef??"

That's why we all hope n pray for an understanding spouse, n God's grace tooo.
