KingEbukasBlog: I've always wanted a godly woman . I still want a godly woman . There are so many who purport themselves as godly so "Be not deceived" . Godly women are so hard to find , it can be frustrating for we .. we.. we the godly men  Finally my oga has come  Are you sure you aren't looking for one that has the same level of mental capacity as yours?  And are you sure when you see the Godly woman, you will speak out? You know our brothers in Christ rarely voice out their hearts. Infact they wait for the weaker vessels to carry out their duties in that aspect  |

KingEbukasBlog: Good question dear
Well there are two kinds of people who will be part of Christ's millennial reign - people with resurrected/glorified bodies and people with natural bodies . According to the scriptures , during the rapture , the saints will be given glorified bodies. The people who were killed because of the belief in Christ during the tribulation will also resurrect prior to Christ's millennial reign on earth and will be given glorified/resurrected bodies alongside the resurrected saints who were once dead . Those who survived the tribulation will go into the millennial reign of Christ with their natural bodies .
But before the millennial reign , there will be judgement of sinners and believers ; the sinners will be thrown into hell while the believers will proceed into the millennial reign . These sinners or unbelievers include those who received the mark of the beast . Every man for himself . If the children of those who receive the mark believe in God , they will join the millennial reign of Christ in their natural bodies
Remember , there are the survivors of the tribulation period devoid of the possession of the mark of the beast . Those survivors with their natural bodies will procreate during the millennial rule - they will marry and bear children - but the saints with glorified/reproduce bodies will not reproduce for there is no marriage for them according to Matthew 22:30 . Now , those children of the survivors will have the carte blanche (freedom/permission ) to choose Christ or reject him . The ones who reject Christ during the millennial reign will join Satan's army against Christ at Armageddon .
There will be death for those who have natural bodies in the millennium but they will be resurrected prior to the eternal reign to be judged . Those who died in Christ will be given resurrection bodies in order to reign with him eternally . Wow! Powerful. Now I understand better. I'll ask questions about that later though. |

Wilgrea7: cc: analice107... bennyann... etc Analice107, Wilgrea7 wants us to give our point of salvation story  I don't think I will be useful in this thread because I don't think I have any great story attached to my salvation and I envy those who do. And those who have such great stories are the one I ecpect never to go back to the world. People like me that don't have a personal one, God will give us the grace to win the race. And to the sucklings in Christ, please try to mature fast especially as you are on nairaland. Crave for bones dear ones and I hope I get to that stage too. Many things will pass away but God's word will remain. Don't forget the greatest commandment to love God with all you've got and followed by loving others as you love yourself. That kind of love will give you everyday answers to situations. That's the secret to a successful Christian life.
Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. 1 Corinthians 13:1-8 KJV http://bible.com/1/1co.13.1-8.KJV |

LiberaDeus: My brother is not just NL
In real life i can count on one hand the christians i know that truly try to live by the standards of christianity.
If you ask most christians about the bible you would find out their minds are blank. How can you claim to believe in God but cant read a book you claim to believe is his word.
The irony of christianity is that no christian is actually a christian. So because sometimes, some can't or hardly read their bibles means they are not Christians? Tell me something You and HardMirror that know the Bible and all that's in it, are you Christians?  There are differences when referring to reading the Bible often, reading it sometimes, meditating on it, knowing the Bible and what it says and living the life God wants you to live. Na so so book book book na go dey talk about.  |

ekensi01: Through a topic which i posted i was able to round up facts so called christians have in NL. Which are as follows:
1. They're good at attacking other religions. 2. They judges everything that comes pass then. 3. They always justify themselves and thier church. 4. They don't care about perishing souls. 5. They post about celebrities but it's hard to talk about how to build lives. 6. Kicking against people who wants to preach or talk about Jesus is so easy for then. 7. They pretend to be saint but lacking a single christ life. 8. They take things of this life more serious than things of God.
ADVICE: Let him that thinks he stands let him take heed less he fall. Not all those who call me Lord Lord is my desciple or will enter heaven. I'm sorry for the barge in. No. 6 interests me. I'm yet to see a Christian kick against his fellow when preaching Jesus here. This is your second thread that drew my attention. |

CatfishBilly: Hello Ann. I think Godly girls put a lot of pressure on themselves by creating this perfect image/mirage and expect potential suitors to live up to that image. No man wants to enter a fight he knows he will lose when the girl starts comparing him to her "ridiculous" image of what a perfect spouse should be. I think Godly girls should project this image that they are approachable and easygoing cos truth be told, the vibe that godly girls give off is "Don't approach me, you ain't holy enough". Hmmmm. Seems it's a general complaint - approachability I don't like the comparing part either so I understand that part when it comes to men. But what qualities do you expect from a woman of your choice? You know some ladies are very approachable when it comes to friendship, they only become choosy when it's time to decide their future partners. And that's because they've already decided the kind of man they want. I've learnt a lot from this thread. I wasn't expecting it at all and I'm sure I'm leaving here with what will save me from future troubles. And thanks for being a part of it. |

sanesta: All I see here is a young "good" girl trying to know much about her future.
But all I can say is that "what's meant to be will always find a way". your fate can't be taken away from you be you good or bad and ones attitude or way of life doesn't determine his/her fate. Is the bolded true? No matter our attitude or behavior? Or do you mean it's not always so? |

Sarassin: If you will permit me to comment, I feel that your post is quite poignant you seem to bemoan the plight of a good woman of which no doubt you are, but I think that at a sub-conscious level you have resigned yourself to being alone. Some have to hold themselves to a somewhat higher standard and in my view you should seek to give true and unconditional love without pre-requisites in order that you can receive the same.
I hear you say, “but I am a godly woman and a good woman and I can give love if only to the right man” but you would be wrong. I read through your eight or so paragraphs of justifications, hedging and self-effacement and to a lay reader you project your insecurities and by the laws of nature at best you will attract an unfulfilling likeness of yourself. Sir, some of us don't just come out to talk except we've been hurt and we got lessons from them. It would only be by grace not to apply those lessons learnt especially if they don't carry virtue in them. To give unconditional love, without fear of rejection, failure or hurt is the highest attainment open to us here on earth, it is a path to the Divine even more so than Godliness which is un-achievable. The path that is for you is to open your heart and your mind and pray to God to give you the grace to give unconditional love in this lifetime of yours, don’t worry about the rest. But I'm grateful sir. I discern you've spoken wisely and also the truth and I will go by them. I see God delights in those words of yours  |

Tosinex: Nice write up! i hope our "holy" sisters will understand the fact that no matter how godly you are, you are stilll going to marry a man, you aint gonna marry Jesus in your flesh! so you have alot to do in order to look like a diamond in the face of a man. nevertheless being in the right circle of friendship exposes you to the right people whom you can tangle with and yet still have a perfect understanding of your personality, and take you for who you are. i once spoke to a lady whom she told me that shes in relationship with Brother Jesus....lolz and am making her to see that i can be that Brother Jesus in the flesh but she just push me by the side, possibly shes expecting to marry a pastor, well a pastor is also a man and can fall into temptations just like any other man, the worst could even be marrying an impostor who called himself a pastor, sorry am not trying to accuse any M.O.G am just saying because they face more temptations from women than any other man who just willingly lured himself into the hands of women. Pray for the right directions in your marital life, and if you are an elderly spinster, you can make yourself look younger and mingle with the youths fellowship! am i pastor, well its not part of this story. and dont forget to keep praying and asking, the bible says "Ask and it shall be given...it also says "Ask of me and i will give you....." it also says "none shall be without his mate" i can keep sayin this, but go ahead and ask what you want in prayer, you are blessed, AMEN The bolded is funny. Pastor, it's not only the ladies that have a lot to learn, Godly men also have so much to do in other to look like the diamond also. And I get your point. You wouldn't blame the lady for desiring someone with a physical stamp of spiritual authority  but I know there are others that do not have that title and they're worth more than the so called pastors. I've always desired to marry a pastor or someone I can tell he has the calling because I feel my God given gift will be active then. Like I knew it goes along with a pastoral or evangelical ministry but I can't brag of that anymore because of some of the attitudes I've noticed in Godly men What also annoys me now is, I noticed some so called pastors after losing God's will for their life by going after the bad girls, they now look for the good girls to destroy their lives now they're married,. Simply because they now realized they missed something or they never had the opportunity to taste something. May God forgive them. The annoying part is some pretend they aren't married while the others will tell you they're married and that's after you've suspected it or after you've found out yourself. Yet, they keep giving all their precious time and resources to the one they wish they had married or the one they lust after. I only wish those types should leave the good girls alone. Such ladies are no more available to them. Some of them even go for special prayers as if God should kill their wives so the other can take over. My words may be harsh here and seem so unbelievable but that's what's been happening. So if you know a certain lady is for you, why don't you bear it? Why don't you teach other, bear with each other and make it work. Because it's like the good guys tolerate the bad girls easily and far longer than the good girls and they only start regretting after they're married, only to then turn around and persecute the good girls romantically. I beg I don talk enough. I dey vex I created this thread because I heard good girls end up badly, they end up in an unexpected way but I pray I and the others here won't turn out to be like that. |

RighteousI: Point 1: its not about going out more often, its about knowing where and how to find a good guy. Point 2: you should be able to tell if a guy is good and marriage minded in a few months of dating. If he is not good then leave the relationship. This will help you to stay away from multiple relationships. Point 3: who told you that so called pastors are good? Why not marry apostle suleiman who likes having sex with multiple women. Point 5: you are wrong. If a good man that genuinely loves you approaches you and you stay back so that he can prove his love to you first, he will see you as proud and he will dump you. Point 6: you can have male or female friends, if you wish or do not wish to go into a relationship with one of your male friends who is good then you can. If I don't go out, how will the guy see me? How will I know where to find him? And how do I know how? I thought it's the guy's duty to find the lady. Isn't it? And with Point number 5, one must show or prove the love first and shouldn't this be the guy? And is the lady expected to respond positively just immediately? especially after she might have found out things have never worked for her when she follows that path? I await your reply. |

RighteousI: Wow. Initially you portrayed yourself as a good girl that has been let down by the world and bad men, only for you to reveal yourself as a previously bad girl who lost the good men because of her badness. Just don't give bad advice here that will make young women to miss their true love at an early age. A potential good mate can come around when you are in your early twenties, if you miss him or her, another good mate may not come around in years. Please leave her alone for me because it seems you don't understand her at all. It seems you would have to start from her first point. |

enshy: Your response shows simplicity and purity. May God guide you to living and abounding in Him. I can't hurt God if I fight the devil...Did you see Jesus throw out the guys who sold in the temple? Did you read Paul curse Elymas? Did you read Jesus rubbish the Pharisee's? We don't fight the person but his opinion, heart and the spirit behind his hatred for God. Not everyone is human, some are possessed of devil's! May God use us all for the furtherance of the Gospel. Growth you say? Till Christ comes, some will remain spiritual dwarfs. We must always consider them. If not, most of us have known God for more than 10yrs, we should have become so stronger now too but no we are not. The challenges we face daily, trials of faith, weaknesses and often disobedience daily decreases the effect of His Presence and Power in our lives. My Beloved, may His Grace be made real in our lives!!! Amen!!! Hmmm! Powerful words. That's why we have those at the battle front to make way for the weak.

Icosahedron: What the OP is trying to communicate in a nutshell
"Fellow Christians be careful, lest Atheists will destroy your delusions" Thank you. We should be very careful. I only had problems with the staying away TOTALLY from unbelievers. |
Christianity Etc › Re: What Christian On Nairaland Should Never Do. by bennyann: 8:52am On May 11, 2017 |
enshy: Good Topic and Good responses. But sincerely, this is not a one cap fits all scenario. Both op and Bennyann are right in their perspectives. My dears, Jesus relationship to each individual isnt general but specific cos he knows man's intentions. Recall John's response to the Pharisees and Saduccees that came to his baptism...Instead of being happy they were yielding to repentance, he rebuked them. There are apostates and no matter how much love you possess and prayer you make, they would never be converted...You cant love a soul more than God the creator. If an apostate would by his comment, character, conversation dissuade the simple from the message of the truth, he has to be stopped. Christs Soldiers are not only to preach and show love, they must protect both the Truth and Sheep. Read Pauls epistles to Timothy and Titus and see the charge he gave them comcerning the false doctrines and false prophets and how much commitment to stopping them. Read Peters response to Simon the magician who wanted to buy the Holy Ghost after he had confessed to Phillips preachin. Read Pauls rebuke of Bar Jesus/ Elymas when he would hinder other from hearing the Word. My dears, love the sinners not the enemies of the Cross, not God haters, not the Anti Christs, not demons, not False Prophets, not men who insults God and pervert the truth. They must be rebuked, stopped, hindered from projecting errors that may lead million to Hell. You dont lose 100 souls to save one you are not sure of...Keep the ones in the fold while you chase more. If an atheist will twist scriptures to dissuade the simple, you dont show love but anger, he has to stopped, rebuked, silenced! I wont allow 10 souls lost to save one....Amen!!!! In all, Divine Wisdom is what we should all beg for. May God give us all Divine Wisdom!!!! You're very right enshy. We won't watch them corrupting God's word and not correct it. But those we're feeding with milk, when are they going to be fed with bones. This is not an ordinary battle ground. My focus is to prepare the mind of Christians for anything here and not to be dissuaded by all that goes on here. I've realized the religion section is a training ground for Christians. If you can't stand the training here online, then where will you be able to stand? This is a place that you yourself get to know where you are, your level of faith in God. You get to know if you're firm or not. I'm not saying we shouldn't correct the misconceptions of the Word here. But I have to let the Christians know that they'll get it tough henceforth and you have to be ready. Will our anchor hold in the storms of life? For how long will you spoon feed them? What if they go out to a place you aren't there? I was brought up staying indoors, not even going for youth meetings in church all because my dad believes he is protecting me and he feels the youths are corrupt. I'm not from a wealthy family but each time I'm to go out to a place like the market, someone I call a bodyguard has to go with me because he is trusted by my parents or my dad may go with me. I knew nowhere even till now, I don't go to friends' houses, they rather come to mine. But a time came I had to go to school and it was outside the country, within the continent though. Can you imagine such freedom for the first time in my life? I could have done anything I wanted to do and have all the experiences I never had. But the love for God kept me because it will hurt me real bad if I disappoint Him. And that's because all those times I spent at home, I spent them mostly with Him. I'm ashamed to say this, I may not know the word as I should but I had a strong relationship with Him. And the love grows more each day. And by His grace, I don't think anything can take me away from Him and I believe that's the convenant He made with me and that's because I pray such prayers ever since I was like a baby. But I experienced things I've never experienced, saw things I've never seen and the curiosity grew in me to know more about such things. It's at this stage that most people like me fall because we're new to such. But God kept me and I became so use to seeing them that they have no effect of wanting to know more about them or wanting to see them more. It's been God And you know, it's normal to see many people change when they are away from their family. They become something else. I saw a lot of them like that and how they coil back to their shell when they get home. So what I've learnt is, when I have my own children, I will train them in the fear of God but also let them know and if possible see the happenings in the world, especially the strange ones. This will help them to be more than prepared when they go out there and ready for them. Most times they won't even be moved by them. It makes it easier. You'll agree with me we're in times where the best weapon is faith training and not faith hiding. The earlier we're exposed to some things, the better for faster recovery. Besides, I also ended with of course every one should go by what their faith can carry but let's remember we're not the ones to determine the kind of storm that comes our way. The storm comes from its source and try our faith and we can never escape a storm trying faith. What do they do then when the storm comes and you aren't there? And about getting angry, I have my own way of showing my anger towards anything ungodly. Everyone with their own ministry. I have to only make sure I don't sin in my anger, all in the name of getting angry for God or on behalf of the babies in Christ. The enemy himself will face more of the anger in my prayer zone. Talking about rebuking, that's my favorite when it comes to correction. After all, God does same with His children. Moses is my second favorite after Job in the Bible but I felt God should have been a little patient with him because he was almost perfect. But you know what? I don't want to annoy God by getting angry all because of murmurings all over nairaland. I want to be like Joseph and how he survived in Egypt, I also want to be like Daniel and how he worshiped His God in the midst of the babylonians, infact in the house of the babylonians, just as we're in the house of Seun - the atheists. May God see us through, use our individual gifts to draw souls on nairaland to Himself and may He also give us the grace to win the race. Amen! And as you also said, may He give us the wisdom we need to sail through all for His glory. |

This is how you know those who don't know what christianity is. No one can harm you here, yet you are giving excuses, your type wld have failed christ if you were one of the apostles, because, those were times you pay with pain and death for preaching but just to preach online, you are asking for special heavenly backing. Only stvpid people will see sense in what you are saying. When I said there are no christians here, I knew what I was saying You made sense here you know and I gained. But stop insulting now  |

Christianity has been reduced to "Happy time hour", where everyone gathers in church (modified club) and the choir makes them feel good, then a motivational speaker aka pastor, comes and excite everyone, then they all pay good money for the entertainment. While the con man shouts and commands god to bless the idioots gathered.
