Ayo081, think about these things...

■ God created man in His image, naked and declared man, in all his unclothedness, good
■ It was man's shame of his unclothedness, that which God declared even good, that caused God, this after man had sinned against God, to make clothing to cover man's unclothedness
■ Still, every man born into this world is born naked to this day

Why would a God who obviously saw nothing wrong with our unclothedness be stuck on what a man or woman chooses to wear or not wear?

Why would He worry , where His Kingdom is concerned, to implement a dresscode, moral codes that only matter to those of this world, when He made man naked from the beginning?.

Look at:

For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, fornication, theft, false witness, slander.

Matthew 15:19 RSV

And I mentioned:

Can we agree that it's what comes from the heart defiles a Man and often times our outward appearance is a reflection of our heart? undecided

As for you, your intentions/thoughts for wearing some certain clothes might be okay, but for some it is to attract or make other people think of them in a sexual or seductive way (don't pretend you don't know)

and often times our outward appearance is a reflection of our heart? undecided

Women are created with beautiful shapes and faces and what would you say about a God that says:

But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

Matthew 5:28 NIV

?

LMAO

You guys should stop bothering to answer her question. You guys are not even answering it well.

If she wants to get all the info she needs, she can do her research herself along with Solomon's own personal writings, rulership and order of his people and his inventions for Agriculture, Architecture and Defense. Also, his profound vast knowledge on various animals and plants.

People want to use civilized mindsets and all the things we have learnt over time to judge BC characters. That's fallacy of logic.

How can I like this * 100?

Can we agree that it's what comes from the heart defiles a Man and often times our outward appearance is a reflection of our heart?

Hausa:
Guy's probably 17 or 18.
I'm embarrassed with what he's even putting up.

Lol 17 or 18?

I jammed up a 16 yo on TW building the future of future of fintech (he's in Lagos).

Jammed another 17 yo making millions.

I was amazed.

Man, age has nothing to do with sense

PS: Those guys are legit

Crystyano:
Actually,

I will ...


Except they are not the same people accusing me of lying about my situation or my brother's situation..or getting upset because I called unspecified people zombies for worshipping Lionel Messi or denying being upset after proving it by saying they will never help me again....


As for the job,


The same bastards have brainwashed him into changing his mind....



Congratulations to the bastards!!!!!



Bill Gates has a foundation but he doesn't behave like that!!!!!!


Even the little I have given others was money!!!!!!

I could have used the money for something else.....

But they needed it so badly........

Here you go again, see don't headache me. You don't need help

Or you have some mental health issues? Be real

tensazangetsu20:
Just open LinkedIn and indeed and spam jobs everyday. You will definitely get a job.

How can I connect with you aside on here?

Crystyano:
It's not okay ...

Honestly, if you really need help you wouldn't reply people (especially those who once helped you) the way you did.

Someone suggested helping you with a job. Howfar with that?

tensazangetsu20:
Yeah America is the best but it's not easy to target for people who just finished six months of Udemy courses. Better to look elsewhere and come back to the USA when you are mid level or senior.

Do you have a thread on how to get those roles (for people who just finished Udemy courses)?

Hello OP, are you looking to hire a Jr backend dev for a similar learn on the job role?

I'm familiar with Node, mongo and express.

LordReed:
That is left for you since you are the one making the claim that Jesus is alive and real right now. If you don't know the answer then how do you know Jesus is alive and real?

lol.

It's In the place of prayer lol

Prayer is spiritual communication (and when I say prayer, not the typical religionists type of prayer because Jesus is against that)

I think we should put an end to it here

Peace (God's; if you want ) be unto you

LordReed:
Then you are a friend of the construct you made from the words not with a real person. If you had a real person you were communicating with the book will not be your primary source of information, you'd go directly to the person. Your pointing me to the book is indicative that there isn't a real person you can point me too.

I had written so many things I had to erase

I will ask you at the bolded. How do go directly to a spiritual being? (Well, that's if you agree there's)

Crystyano:
You believe things without evidence....


That's worse than shit!!!!

Okay

Crystyano:
Your parents should have aborted you!!!!


Bastard!!!!



Ayo081 is vomitting shit like budaatum!!!!!

People that have been 1000000times more generous than your family don't behave like this!!!!

Abeg exclude me from your poo na

LordReed:
Offline or online meeting? I would like first be convince the person is indeed able to reveal details that they won't otherwise know. After that we'll go from there.

Pretty much cheap lol. I have seen so many people that got the word of knowledge about them. The question remains are truly obeying the commandments of Christ?

LordReed:
How can you be my friend by spending all your time with what people wrote about me?

First, recall we're talking about a supreme being. He's very much alive.

One way to get to know him his through his words.

A 5 yo boy today could read a book about Mandela and love him, be a friend of his personality. Recall, we're talking about the living and not the dead. We're talking Jesus

Image123:
Wow, that's unfortunate. Power comes with responsibility though. Reed thinks everyone should have it, not everyone is that consecrated.

Those who were oppurtuned to have it in our time were either not well grounded in the word, thinks they wouldn't misplace it or didn't know know they're in a war. Something made David cried; 'take away not thy gift of the holy spirit from me'.

LordReed:
How does that make you know that Jesus is real?

How could I be your intimate friend if I don't intend to?

LordReed:
Since you guys in this thread are Christians I will be talking about the Christian version. If Ifa worshipper makes their own claim then I will speak to that. It doesn't matter that the gift is not under their control the issue is your god CANNOT reveal any details about me that you or the gift holder did not already know. And I am not talking about guessing or surface details like I am a man or I go to work and have a family.

Buhahaaa

I am not talking about those either lol

I actually don't operate in that area (maybe now because I also desire that gift), I will keep you in the loop if I find someone genuine soon time.

I also pray if that's the provision you need in order to believe, God should send someone with that gift your way

LordReed:
Budaatum always encourages me to take a 2nd look at the bible with new eyes and I do want to do that but I am still to traumatised by religion to trust myself to read it without being unduly critical. I know someday I will be able to sit down and read it the same way I read Aesop's tales without being unduly critical. I look forward to that day. May be you will come across me quoting Jesus like a follower. But I will make it clear I will never believe in things not in evidence and so far I haven't seen sufficient evidence for a god or a risen Jesus. If ever I come to have such evidence that confirms these things as true be sure I won't be silent.

One good way is to empty your heart of what you've learnt or been thought. Look at how, where and why Jesus started and ended His teachings

LordReed:
One thing is we have more information than any generation before us so there are things that would have wowed people in the past that are common knowledge to us now. The evidence that would convince me would have to be greater than all we know now. Something like the word of knowledge you talk about would be a start but I am yet to have anybody demonstrate it.

Oh I see, for me; things I don't want, want me.

Before I got know a little bit of truth about the word, I received words of knowledge from about 3 different individuals. I didn't go meet them.

Thankfully, I didn't make that the basis for my faith. Again thankfully because true faith should be based on the words of Christ which is rock.

“Every one then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house upon the rock;

Matthew 7:24 RSV

Meaning, even an ifa priest can give you words of knowledge.

It is also important you know that this things don't work the way you think or want them

Like I see you asked the OP to expose where you live or something (if I'm right), people who operates this gift don't really have control over it. They only expose things revealed to them by the Spirit. You might them to expose your home address meanwhile it is about your partner or business that is being revealed to them you see you might not believe because you didn't get what you want, hence a little tip of how this things work should be helpful

I think we I mentioned a denomination that operates this gift in abundance (even though I'm agnostic about the denomination for some reasons)

Like I mentioned true faith and believe should be based on the words of Christ. If you want words of knowledge you could as well get them from traditional worshipers even though you could from Christians.

LordReed:
Now here's my challenge to you. In your own quiet place, sit down and list out all the evidence you have for your beliefs and then weigh them with respect to what is undeniably real. If the evidence you have stacks up better than what we know then keep believing, if it doesn't then you should either search for more evidence or accept that what you believe is not true and some other explanation must be found.

There're have always been the matter or question of; what significant amount of evidence is enough for you to believe?

Nathaniel and the Woman at the well in Samaria believed when they received the word of knowledge about them. Could that be so about you?

Some when they received a miracle?

Some it is the truth they see in the word. They never necessarily received a word of knowledge about them or miracle

If one struggle to believe that there's God (Jehovah), then no amount of evidence is enough.

Especially because you could term the below some psychological shit

Nathaniel and the Woman at the well in Samaria believed when they received the word of knowledge about them. Could that be so about you?

Crystyano:
Exposure my arse!!!



You don't know my brother!!!


triplechoice is being stupid!!


Yeah ,I said it!!!



He's being stupid!!!!
...


Anyone that believes you or him is being stupid...,


The number I gave Ayo081 is different from the number I gave triplechoice!!!

Hi, please don't ever give me a mention or pms again. Thank you

Shedrack777:
well, there's a difference between xmas and Christmas. I Don't Celebrate Xmas, But I Celebrate Christmas. Because Xmas Is satanic

Mention the differences

If all you stated is of God, you will know. Be careful, the devil is also a manipulator. Can also pretend as the angel of light.

The aim is not to be a GO but to present Christ unto people (you don't have to be a GO but a disciple and disciples are people who serve. I don't if GOs do).

If it is of God, don't let pride overtake you.

In simplicity, I will say any Church that understands the difference between old and new covenant, teaching the body about God's kingdom and not earthly blessings.

wink2015:
The Church used it to source for income.

If the Church does not have a source of realising cash then they can not propagate the gospel of Jesus.

What do you have to say about Matthew 10 especially the below bolded?:

And preach as you go, saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’ Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, cast out demons. You received without paying, give without pay.


Matthew 10:7‭-‬8 RSV

LordReed:
LoL @ fall. I stopped believing because it dawned on me that the stories do not match reality. You are encouraged to ignore reality in favour of faith, you can see that in this very thread. But I could no longer ignore reality since it is all we have, our imaginations no matter how fanciful or even believable are still imagination, reality doesn't care about your imaginations. Only that which is real is possible. Immortal magic sky daddies are not real, 2000year old dead Jews are not coming back soon.

Well, I don't have to preach to you then. It is obvious; you pointed your path.

I can only advise you to revisit one of the recorded Gospels of Christ (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John).

LordReed:
You are encouraged to ignore reality in favour of faith

Absolutely, the message was clear (from Christ himself). He never promised or told us that it's going to be a smooth journey.

You see, like you; even the people of old couldn't accept the teachings as they're hard.

Thus Jesus told his disciples:

14 If anyone will not welcome you or listen to your words, leave that home or town and shake the dust off your feet.

Matthew 10:14 NIV

LordReed:
You are encouraged to ignore reality in favour of faith

It is something we all struggle with (I wouldn't lie) but God is faithful and ever ready to receive us (you're familiar with the story of the prodigal son).

That aside, look at the bolded below:

Jesus looked at him and loved him “One thing you lack,” he said. “Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”

Mark 10:21 NIV

l will tell a funny thing I observed in a Church about the above quoted passage someday lol.

To an end, this things are truly hard especially when looking at it from the reality and physical perspective. Much more harder if you already subscribed to follow Christ (the fact that Jesus didn't hide this things made me believe).

Therefore, adequate knowledge of what's really going on between God and Satan, how God used/raised His prophets with time, old covenant (physical) and new covenant (spiritual) is required.

beautiful sheep

LordReed:
LoL!

Been there, done that.

What or why did you fall?

LordReed:
And do you know anyone there in particular or its just a general knowledge you have?

It's not a general knowledge and I wouldn't want to go further

I have observed that many go to them for signs and wonders and not Jesus and they (those with the gifts) are in tune with what people want and not what Christ want

In all seek Jesus, who knows the gift He'll give you?

LordReed:
Is it Cele or C&S? I won't believe just anything that's for sure.

The former I know right
