So Jesus isn't coming very soon again?
because i no understand this your big big grammar

🙋Don't worry I will make you understand it because my purpose is to teach the word of God.

2 Peter 3:8 (NIV): "But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord, a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day."


God is timeless and that's why eternity exists.

Jesus Christ is simply God in a human body: This implies that to understand the words of Jesus you must be in spirit, because the bible is simply the words of the supreme Spirit-being and only the Spirit-led can understand it's meaning 1 Corinthians 2:14 (NIV): "The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit."

Now let's get down to your level and do some mathematics, I believe you at least studied that in high school

If x = 1000 (because the verse above "2 Peter 3:8" stated that a day before God is like a thousand years and the originator of that verse said that He is coming soon)

Soon in this context meaning "early occurrence" (low number), and low numbers in mathematics on a scale of 10 range from (1 to 4), 5 being the mid and every other number above that being high.

Now if you had a test or an examination and you scored 4 out of 10, that's low right?🤷now multiply that by x which is 1000

4x = 4000

And it's not even 4000 years yet since Jesus Christ died, it's only scaling about 2000 at the moment. Do you now see we are still living in the range of "soon"

BTW, a synonym to the word soon is "death" which can pick on anyone at anytime and anywhere for no human reason. That's why it's very reasonable and safe to always be prepared.

God bless you.

No dey answer me with bible verses, it still doesn't change anything. There are billions of questions that the Bible cannot answer. Those who believe in the bible only chose to be delusional, any day u chose to think with ur brain u will know there's a lot of crap in there

It isn't normal for a child to call the words of his father in heaven(God) crap and it only takes the expertise of the great therapist(Holy Spirit) to rehabilitate such.

One Bible verse that touches on the theme of sons despising their fathers is Proverbs 30:17 (New International Version): "The eye that mocks a father, that scorns an aged mother, will be pecked out by the ravens of the valley, will be eaten by the vultures."

Don't forget, no eyes no sight and no sight, into the ditch straight.

This verse emphasizes the gravity of disrespect toward parents.

I pray God will fix your subconscious mind with the blood of Jesus.

BTW

1 Corinthians 1:18 (New International Version): "For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God."

This verse highlights the contrast in perspectives between those who embrace the message of salvation and those who choose to repel it.

zilon12:


Bro, I don't have anything against Jesus, obviously he was genius but hey

Jesus was only talking metaphorically, even Jesus ate at the tax collector's house, it means humans gotta eat yo

So what I am saying essentially is that you cannot eat the scripture literally

And I wasn't talking about you consuming the pages of the physical book my brother.

A fact we all know though
"Man shall not live by bread alone" is from the Bible, specifically Matthew 4:4. It emphasizes the idea that life is not solely sustained by physical necessities like food but also by spiritual and moral dimensions.

Jayden001:

Men I don't give a fvck about any consequences. The bible is just like a story book.
No beast is coming.
No heaven is coming
No hell is anywhere
Africans has been so brainwashed to believe sh*ts

Proverbs 14:12 (New International Version) states:

"There is a way that appears to be right,
but in the end, it leads to death."

Jayden001:
If the mark will make me a billionaire,they should bring it on

The consequences for those who take the mark are described in Revelation 14:9-11 (NIV):

"A third angel followed them and said in a loud voice: 'If anyone worships the beast and its image and receives its mark on their forehead or on their hand, they, too, will drink the wine of God’s fury, which has been poured full strength into the cup of his wrath. They will be tormented with burning sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment will rise for ever and ever. There will be no rest day or night for those who worship the beast and its image, or for anyone who receives the mark of its name.'"

This passage suggests severe consequences for those who willingly accept the mark associated with the beast, including torment and eternal consequences.

Can you really handle this?

abobote:
Are you saying even as a sinner, if I refuse to take mark, my soul will be saved?

The specific reference to those who do not receive the mark and what they will go through can be found in Revelation 20:4-6 (NIV):

"I saw thrones on which were seated those who had been given authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony about Jesus and because of the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand years. (The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended.) This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy are those who share in the first resurrection. The second death has no power over them, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with him for a thousand years."

This passage describes those who resisted receiving the mark, faced persecution, and were martyred for their faith. It also mentions the concept of the first resurrection and the reign with Christ for a thousand years, which is a part of the broader eschatological narrative in the Book of Revelation.

zilon12:
So will you take the number or starve to death, Mr. Poster?

John 6:35 (NIV) - "Then Jesus declared, 'I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty."

John 6:51 (NIV) - "I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats this bread will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world."

Believing in Jesus is the easiest of all.

Kionrae:
Stop deceiving yourselves we will all grow old/some may not, die and pave way for the next generation, nothing like the end of time will still happen

1. John 11:25-26 (NIV) - "Jesus said to her, 'I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?'"

2. 1 Corinthians 15:42-44 (NIV) - "So will it be with the resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable; it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body."

3. 2 Corinthians 5:1 (NIV) - "For we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands."

But now what do we have?

Nuclear bomb, guns and internet.


The bible is for gullible people to believe.

The Bible, often using symbolic language in prophetic visions, conveys enduring truths applicable throughout changing times. Consider Zechariah 4:6 (NIV), which states, "‘Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says the Lord Almighty." This emphasizes reliance on God's power rather than detailing specific means.

In today's context, where technological advancements like the internet, nuclear weapons, and firearms play significant roles. While ancient visions depicted chariots and bows, the essence remains: power is not solely in human hands but influenced by greater forces.

Reflecting on 2 Timothy 3:16 (NIV), which describes all Scripture as God-breathed and useful for teaching, real-life scenarios emerge. Just as the Bible provided guidance through chariots and horses, it offers timeless principles for navigating a world with nuclear weapons and the internet.

The evolution of warfare and communication mirrors the changing nature of society. The Bible encourages believers to grasp its enduring truths, recognizing that while methods may transform, foundational principles of faith, love, and righteousness remain constant. Just as the world changed from chariots to nuclear bombs, it will continue to evolve, but the timeless wisdom of the Bible remains a guide through the shifting and fast paced development of human existence.

Blakjewelry:
If you are talking about digital means, then it means even all of una don get am already. But if you are talking physical enforcement, then it never happening.

Besides why una go dey use ancient idea generated from the view of ancient men on this modern day with diverse view. E no go work, it is dead on arrival.

In addressing the question of the application of ancient ideas to modern times, the Bible encourages discernment and the relevance of its teachings across different eras. Proverbs 22:28 (NIV) advises, "Do not move an ancient boundary stone set up by your ancestors," suggesting the importance of respecting foundational principles while acknowledging the need for discernment in contemporary contexts.

Additionally, 2 Timothy 3:16-17 (NIV) affirms the enduring relevance of Scripture: "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work." This emphasizes the timeless nature of biblical principles, applicable to various situations and perspectives.

While technological advancements may change the way society operates, the underlying moral and ethical teachings of the Bible remain foundational. Integrating ancient wisdom with contemporary understanding allows individuals to live and understand the modern life while upholding enduring principles of faith and morality.

If Jesus is really coming very soon, the pastor will sell the land and give the money to charity, then follow Christ

.

The Bible does indeed use the Hebrew word "מַהֵר" (maher), meaning "soon" or "quick," in various passages, including those that suggest the imminent return of Jesus. In Revelation 22:12, Jesus declares, "Look, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to each person according to what they have done." However, it's crucial to consider the broader biblical context.

The concept of "soon" in biblical terms is intertwined with a recognition of uncertainty regarding the precise timing of Jesus' return. In Matthew 24:36, Jesus emphasizes this uncertainty, stating, "But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father." This underscores the biblical emphasis on readiness and vigilance, rather than providing a specific timeline.

The Hebrew word "מַהֵר" conveys the idea of swiftness and immediacy. In the context of biblical prophecies, it serves to highlight the expectation of a prompt fulfillment of God's promises. However, it's essential to acknowledge that God's understanding of time differs from human comprehension. As mentioned in 2 Peter 3:8 (NIV), "But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord, a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day." This reinforces the notion that God's timing transcends human limitations, urging believers to remain prepared and faithful while awaiting the fulfillment of His promises.

Righthussle:
One pastor around my area is always saying "Jesus is coming soon. Very soon ".since Jesus is coming soon, I asked to buy his two plots of land close to my house , he said he's keeping the land for his sons who are 4 and 6 years old to use when they grow up.

The Bible encourages believers to be mindful of the future and provide for their families. In Proverbs 13:22 (NIV), it says, "A good person leaves an inheritance for their children's children." While it's important to be prepared for the future, it's also wise to balance that with fulfilling immediate responsibilities and needs.

Yes, the Bible does contain verses that suggest the imminent return of Jesus. For example, in Revelation 22:12 (NIV), Jesus says, "Look, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to each person according to what they have done." However, the concept of "soon" in biblical terms is often interpreted as a reminder of the uncertainty of the timing, emphasizing readiness and vigilance rather than specifying a specific timeline.

Certainly, the concept of "soon" in biblical terms is often accompanied by an acknowledgment of uncertainty regarding the exact timing of Jesus' return. In Matthew 24:36 (NIV), Jesus himself states, "But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father." This underscores the biblical emphasis on readiness and vigilance rather than providing a specific timeline for the return of Jesus.

AntiChristian:
Jacob fought God (Elohim) and won!

And which widow dey Luke 11:1-8?

Jacob's life was marked by ceaseless challenges within a family consumed by hostility. He himself, a deceiver and manipulator, had fallen victim to deceit. Living up to his name, which means "heel-catcher" or one who deceives, Jacob faced numerous struggles despite God's promise of a great nation through him.

Despite the divine promise, Jacob grappled with fears and anxieties. His brother Esau threatened his life, his uncle Laban cheated him for years, and his two wives harbored adversarial relations. Fleeing Laban's mistreatment, Jacob camped in a location chosen by angels, sending messengers with gifts to his estranged brother Esau. Learning Esau was approaching with 400 men, Jacob divided his family, prayed for divine help, and sent lavish gifts to pacify Esau.

Alone in the desert, Jacob had a restless night wrestling with a stranger until daybreak. The stranger, realizing Jacob's tenacity, struck him on the hip, renaming him Israel, meaning "he struggles with God." Despite the injury, Jacob persisted, demanding a blessing. The stranger explained the new name, acknowledging Jacob's overcoming struggles. Jacob, recognizing the supernatural encounter, asked for the stranger's name but received only a blessing.

The next morning, God's blessing became apparent as Esau welcomed Jacob. In today's culture, we celebrate success and strength, avoiding vulnerability and weakness. Jacob's story, a "magnificent defeat," reminds us of life's struggles—fear, darkness, loneliness, vulnerability, emptiness, exhaustion, and pain.

Even the apostle Paul faced discouragement and fear, acknowledging external conflicts and internal fears. God, however, doesn't abandon us in trials; instead, He offers divine gifts—conversion, transformation, freedom, endurance, faith, and courage. Jacob's experience teaches that facing God in weakness is crucial. Separated from worldly possessions, Jacob wrestled all night for what truly mattered, receiving God's blessing only when he ceased struggling, realizing his dependence on Him (Genesis 32:29).

BTW there's power in the names we call ourselves. Your name(moniker) gave me a visual description of you already and I pray that your creator will pay you a visit and give you an encounter that will forever make you see Him as your father.

I love you but Jesus loves you more.

AntiChristian:
Jacob fought God (Elohim) and won!

And which widow dey Luke 11:1-8?

Please read through the content again, I never mentioned Luke 11: 1-8 but Luke 18: 1-8, God bless you.

No Gree For Anybody: The Persistent Faith of Jacob and the Widow

Good morning, dear brothers and sisters!

Today, we gather under the banner of "No Gree For Anybody," drawing inspiration not only from the persistent widow in Jesus' parable but also from the story of Jacob wrestling with the angel in Genesis 32. These narratives converge to teach us valuable lessons about unwavering faith and persistence in our journey with God.

In Luke 18:1-8, Jesus shares the parable of the persistent widow, illustrating the power of continual prayer and faith. Similarly, in Genesis 32, Jacob finds himself in a wrestling match with a mysterious angel. Despite the pain and struggle, Jacob persists, refusing to let go until he receives a blessing.

Both stories underscore the importance of perseverance in our relationship with God. "No Gree For Anybody" becomes a rallying cry, not just against being cheated in the natural, but against spiritual defeat and despair. We are called to wrestle in prayer, like Jacob, and persistently seek God's justice and blessings, like the widow.

Believers, there are times when life feels like a wrestling match, and the struggles seem insurmountable. Just as Jacob clung to the angel, we must hold onto our faith tenaciously, refusing to let go until we receive God's blessing and guidance.

As we live through the complexities of our lives, let us embody the persistent faith of both the widow and Jacob. "No Gree For Anybody" extends beyond cultural slang; it's a spiritual declaration to stand firm, wrestle in prayer, and persist in our pursuit of God's promises.

May this message inspire us to face our challenges with unyielding faith, trusting that, like Jacob, we will emerge from the struggle blessed and transformed. May our persistent prayers, rooted in faith, be a sweet fragrance to our Heavenly Father.

Amen.


Prayer

Heavenly Father,

We come before You with hearts filled with gratitude for Your enduring love and faithfulness. As we explore the stories of the persistent widow and Jacob wrestling with the angel, we are reminded of the power of unwavering faith and persistence in our journey with You.

Lord, grant us the strength to persist in prayer, just as the widow and Jacob did. In moments of struggle, help us cling to our faith with determination, refusing to let go until we receive Your blessings and guidance. We declare "No Gree For Anybody" against spiritual defeat, knowing that in You, we find victory.

May our lives reflect the persistent faith that both stories exemplify. May our prayers rise to You as a sweet fragrance, and may we experience the transformative power of Your blessings in our lives.

In the name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
