Jesus didn't preach a religion

He preached the way of life that pleases God.He alone knows the only true Almighty God and he revealed God to everyone without discrimination of any sort.
It is people that have come up with different ways of not really worshipping God.

Luke 6:27-end.If you are a Christian, read it and see how much you are mostly not even doing any single thing Jesus actually taught! Why?Because it's really difficult for most to do.And even Pastors of large churches everywhere don't even preach these exact teachings of Jesus.
Because ,even they themselves can probably not do them.
It would be shocking to most of you "Christians" while reading those verses.


The actual true way of worshipping God has been neglected by most "if not all" Christians.

Jesus told the Woman from Samaria (The Samaria people were Idol worshippers:It is made evident in the book of Kings) that

Now,people would no longer Worship God both in Jerusalem and on this mountain,instead those that would Worship God "must" worship him in truth and in spirit

Worshipping is no longer a physical act according to Jesus.
Instead it is now a spiritual act by knowing and living according to the truth of his commandments.
He said "I am the way,the truth and the life" - John 14:6
He said "those that would Worship the Father" must" worship in "truth" and in "spirit".
He also said " The Very words I have spoken to you are spirit and life"- John 6:63

That is it!
His very words are the only ways you can worship God in " truth and spirit"
Knowing his commandments (summarized in Luke 6:27-end) is knowing the truth and doing them is living according to his words which is living in truth and in spirit

Can anyone see this?

Any single act that can be seen physically is really not worship according to this verse.

Singing "Praise and worship songs"(sometimes while wearing masquerade robes),waving hands,rolling on the floor, crying,dancing,,clapping,etc,they are good! Because people do these things from their hearts to "worship" God. While doing all of these things,it is God they have in their mind.

However,there is an even more pleasing way to God,a way to actually worship him,and it is through Jesus himself "in truth and in spirit"
Truth of his words and commandments Luke 6:27-end and doing this is Spirit and life.


In this way,Anyone: Christian,Muslim, Traditional Worshippers, Buddhists,...... Masquerades....can worship God in Truth and spirit
Remember,the woman from Samaria and the people of Samaria were Idol worshippers and Jesus still taught them how to worship God the right way.

Anyone,Read Luke 6:27-end.See the commandments of Jesus,Note how many of them you are not doing and start doing them.
You are then truly Worshipping God because you now know the truth and doing it is spirit because his words are spirit.
Irrespective of religion.You can be a Worshipper of the only True God!
It does not have to be physical!In fact,it is a Totally Spirit act!

Jesus did not preach a Religion!

He only taught a Way of Life that leads to Life!

APCNig:
May Ibadan family cannot do without Ankara. Even Saheed and Rafiu, not Oseni the garrulous Animal Husbandry graduate fuming at Arise to, I mean the ones at the motor park, they can’t do without Ankara

PigTormentor:
Aptly stated.

A good example is Rivers state.
In 2015 the PDP gave Jonathan 1.489 million votes and gave APC about 60k votes.
In 2023 what is the total number of votes from Rivers? For the top 3 candidates it's less than 500k.
That only goes to show that parties where writing whatever results they wanted in the past. That's no longer possible with BVAS.

WizardOfNG:
You should know that so many here do not even understand the meaning of words they use. He has heard "State capture" somewhere and thought it sounds nice leading to his desperation to now use it senselessly.

garykoeman:
Lies, none of Louis ojukwu wealth was stolen.

Even his son odumegwu never made mention of it.

Most of those funds and property were utilize to prosecute the Biafra war by ojukwu himself.

Reason why louis never lived long.

atiku4President:
An average Nigerian hates a truthful an patriotic leader who would want to work for change. Most Nigerians will prefer a bad leader from their tribe and reject a good leader from another tribe. Let's stop deceiving ourselves. We are far from development.

Zincfingers:
Just rest with your tribalism
No INEC chairman has been worse than Maurice Iwu since 1999. The clown who declared someone winner while election was still ongoing. Rest Abeg

Ikaeniyan0:
When Jonathan was in power and we complained of marginalisation, Igbos mocked us and told us to go and meet Tinubu.

With or without the presidency, the south west will keep on prospering.

Shawarmagirl:
The same way Bashir is lamenting now, is the same way the South West will lament when the table turn around.

When Buhari started it y'all praise him to high heaven as though power is not transients. Now power has left North to South West, the Yorubas is not seeing anything wrong with Tinubu appointment. Tinubu tenure will come to an end one day, the table will turn around again.

Bashir should keep kwayet and face front. I hate nonsense.

EvilMerodack:
SW thorougly marginalized

Posterity will remember on judgements day

Obi4Ever:
Get ready. 8yrs of Obi.

alsudan:
Thought Cone Headed Yoruba Muslims said Femi Kuti was not OBIDIENT.

Peter Obi’s campaign go too sweet, can see big artist performing for free at campaign grounds

NNEVERAGAINN:
of course it the truth. Stop acting as if you don't know

Afonja007:
Ok who stopped abiola from becoming president of Nigeria? Who moved capital to Abuja? Who killed kudirat abiola? Who is the emir of Ilorin ? Let's play by your game,central bank was moved to Abuja Tinubu brought back the to Lagos another Northerner will move it back to abuja ,

SonOfDSoil01:
I always thought this vdm was someone sensible and intelligent, but he just proved me wrong. This is nothing but a display of ignorance…..I can already see our jealous and covetous neighbours masturbating on the thread. Any news about Lagos Yoruba always make them green with envy yet they won’t let Lagos breathe

Lagos as been far a developed place even before the amalgamation of Nigeria, which were mainly developed by the colonial masters. Lagos was a trade centre and the colonial masters found it geologically suitable and made it their colony. All the development in Lagos took place even before the discovery of oil.

Nigeria slow down the progress of Lagos and by extension western region, which was and still is the most developed and most economically viable part of the country all thanks to free education introduced by the late sage Awolowo.

We never asked for the FCT to be cited in Lagos, and 33yrs after the relocation of the FCT from Lagos, it as made far more progress and the migration from other part of the country increased. Why didn’t they all rush to Abuja since the lay claim to it being the bases for the development of Lagos

When they can’t match your progress, they come up with this weak line so as to defend their failure to measure up. Lagos won’t slow down in it developmental drive because of the failure of other state governors to develop their state and attract investment. No one was force to come and invest in Lagos and you cant tell an investor where to invest his money.

When they create a hostile environment for investor and to even acquire common land is a huge challenge, coupled with insecurity and secessionist tendencies and you expect a sensible investor to come and invest in that hostile environment? even the trend of migration to Lagos and Sw already proves the fact that Lagos and Sw is the investment destination so they can continue hating

Afonja007:
you know people from south west hates truth,if bill gate is an igbo man and he decided to build air port as big as dubai airport in the SE federal goverment of nigeria will not give him license for international flights,federal government of nigeria will never allow warri wharf of porthacourt wharf to work fully ,i pray one northern politician might change it one day

Arabk25:
Oga what do you have to say about FEDERAL GOVERNMENT controlling seaport and aviation industry? How will a government limit the importation of goods to Lagos only what explanations do you have for that let's start with that first

legitnow1:
I DONT KNOW Y SOME YORUBA MEN ARE AFRAID.


Y THE FEAR OVER MATTERS?


AFTER MUCH NOIISE, A SIMPLE TAKE YOUR LAGOS AND GO IS NOW GENERATING DEBATE AND QUESTION TIME?



A STRAIGHTFORWARD EITHER LAGOS GO OR WE GO IS AN ULTIMATUM NOT A DEBATE.

Eshiet64:
I support VDM on this, the politics played by especially the president is to ensure other ports are not working effectively in order for the country to be dependent on Lagos port alone.

Lovenorth:
Why are you afraid of decentralizing our ports you leech? Lagos is only an opportunistic state, very lazy with entitlement mentality. Either you like it or not, one day our Northern president or South South president will change the status quo and allow for fair opportunity

Nteogwuija:
He might not be entirely wrong. Using the ports for example. Someone once said he tried clearing his goods at the Onne port, something that'd take less than a week to clear at the Lagos port, it took over three weeks with intense begging for it to be cleared at the Onne port.

The person said it was just an unnecessary series of bottle necks with nonchalant people.

Now, with such experience people would tend to want to clear their goods at Lagos over Port Harcourt.

Whether this is delibrate (to make Lagos' port more attractive) or not is what I can't say.

Also, the militancy contributed to most oil companies moving their HQs to Lagos. Problem is that since the end of militancy, the governors have done nothing to attract these HQs back to the region.

Seriously, I believe the SS governors are the laziest set of governors.

bigcasava1:
let's open allow others like rivers, Calabar, delta, etc to have their sea port working let's see how ur Lagos will survive

SmartPolician:
Godswill Akpabio did a good infrastructural development job as governor! But as a senate president, he hasn't been outstanding as he always makes embarrassing comments. Perhaps Escobar infected him with his balablue disease

yarimo:
ADC looking for media attention by fire by force immediately after the shameless bye election outing stagging attack to look like they are the main opposition

iwaeda:
Osun State with over five hundred thousand pre-voter registers. How many people live in Ife, Oshogbo, Ilesha, Gbongan, Ikirun, Ikire, Otin. Pre manipulation.

SmartPolician:
Godswill Akpabio was one of the best governors in Nigeria. That man singlehandedly put his state on the map. Before him, everyone only knew Calabar.

Lifestone:
How does this stops the production of foods or the provisions of security? This prototype was designed and done by the private individuals, so why can't you reason
