They are already condemned because they believe not in the Son of Man. Men will not be condemned because they are adulterers, forcators, gays, muderers etc. How can they be condemned for such when the Son of God has already be condemned on their behalf.

We are in a sinking mode(sin), we can not help ourselves, then someone threw in a life jacket (Jesus Christ) that is not only able to make us stay afloat but will eventually get us to the dry land. What do you think will happen to anyone who willingly refuse this life jacket? Of course they will end up perishing.

What is the difference between an unbeliever and we believer's? Is it not Jesus (God's unmerited grace)? Jesus is not only able to save from destruction, He is also able to lead us in the path of righteousness here and now. Those who believe not in Jesus Christ as there pass over lamb, have not the receipt and evidence of their justification. We live in a business world and we all know how important receipt is.

Without you providing receipt for your consignment, you can be denied though you might have paid for it. In the same way, I believe through my study of scripture that Jesus has justified all men at the cross but only those who believe holds the receipt and evidence of their justification.

Those who believe not have refuse and rejected the payment made on their behalf. They have toface the music of God's judgment against sin.

The only sin mankind will be convicted and condemned for is the sin of unbelief in the finished and perfect work of Jesus Christ.

Let it be known that through this man(Jesus) forgiveness of sins and justification has come to you today. What will you do with it? Will you mock it, spurn it and throw it into the garbage? Or will you be grateful and embrace it?

The choice is really ours to make. May the grace and the love of God be made manifest in your life. The gospel is Jesus plus no mixture.

ChiefAzubuike:
As seen from the internet.

Hell is for those who believe not in Jesus Christ.
It is not necessarily because they are sinners for we all are before Christ. As it written no one is righteous, no not one. All of us like sheep went astray. They will perish because they refuse to realize that they are powerless in keeping the law and hence, needs a saviour.

Seventh night (continuation)



Psalms 22:3
But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel

That night I prepared to sleep after my prayers. I had locked my doors and windows. But somehow I couldn't sleep. I was wondering why.

So I decided to play worship songs. After about 30 minutes, there is a particular song by women of faith titled (above all), that came up.
As the song started playing I felt goose pimples all over my body. (That's a personal sign to me that God's presence has arrived) immediately, I began singing along. Then, all of a sudden, I felt a sweet feeling like honey all over my body. Now its funny because, if something is on ones body, there is no how u can taste it, except it gets to your mouth. But as the liquid was pouring all over my body I tasted a sweet fragrance. Like honey. My love for God just went on high voltage. I felt Gods presence around me. And so, I lifted up my voice and started praising him, switching from English to tongues back and forth. As I did, from afar, I was hearing a noise. Initially, I thought it was a car, moving on my street. The noise was coming from far. With full speed. Then it was like a truck coming with full speed at my house. Later, I realized the noise was coming from the sky. All this was at the background of my mind as I was praising God. Then all of a sudden, a silent collision occurred in my room.
It was like ten billion suns collided silently inside my room. Everywhere was bright, like so bright. The light penetrated everywhere, even behind the walls, the light passed through my walls made of brick.

I had to close my eyes ,and yet the light was still so bright. When I opened my eyes, right in the center of my room, appeared a cloud made of diamonds and other precious stones. The cloud was very colorful and brilliant. It was big too, almost touching my celling. I noticed all the light was coming out from the cloud. A big rainbow circled the cloud and there was a sweet bells songs ringing out from the cloud.

I was just shocked, my eyes initially were shut close (as an instincts not to be blinded) but later I opened them to view this amazing scene.
Then, a sandaled feet emerged from the cloud, then a full body. It was an angel. He had a golden band tied around his head. His name was in a language I couldn't pronounce, like ancient writings. His head touched my celling. I was reaching him on his waist. He just looked at me and smiled. Then he stepped aside for other angels to come out too. 6 more angels came out, making them all seven angels in number. They each stayed at different cardinal points in my room.

The radiation coming out from them was intense. Twice I almost fell down as dead, but twice, ifelt an invisible hand touch me at my back and I regained strength.

Then the eight leg came out from the glorious cloud. Once I saw the feet of the person, I immediately knew who it was. The king of glory, the one who glory bowed before, the one who created beauty, walked into my room.
He was dress in a blue royal attire, fit for only a king. On his head was a crown, that had little sparks inside it. The crown had big jewels on its sides and was cut from solid gold.

When one of his feet touched the floor in my room, a square of bright golden light formed on the floor and stayed till he lifted his leg away from the floor.

His face was fresh, smooth shaven and smiling eyes as usual. He walked up right, and smiled at me. The movement he walked in, the seven angels immediately went down on one knee and bowed deeply at him.

He looked at me and said," daughter, tonight ends the journey. Tonight is the most important. Write down as usual, all you would see. "

Then he stepped back into the cloud and motioned for me to come. I followed him into the cloud and instantly, I was at the library. Like one minute I was in my room, the next, I'm in the library.


The other giant angels followed me at my back and stood around me and Jesus. The moment the last angel walked in, the screen began playing. It showed a Bible verse I had often overlooked.
As the words appeared on the screen, I knew it was very significant for a purpose. That was the first time a bible verse showed on the screen.

Do you feel something pouring on you like someone literally pouring an anointing oil on your head?

TheArranger:
Christians of nairaland, if when you die, Anubis is waiting for you instead of Jesus, what will you say?
P.S Its a hypothetical question, so please don't overreact

I cannot be wrong because I am right. I have a relationship with my Lord. His presence is strongly with me.

Originakalokalo:



Let her be abegi.

She is just on her own... she didn't offend you did she?

Paul, Peter, Moses, John, Philip, James, Stephen etc.


These ones had personal encounter with Jesus... Paul saw Jesus.... and he healed terrible sicknesses in Jesus name...

Peter was with Jesus... He saw him shine on the mountain of transfiguration..... Like the sun ..he saw Moses and Elijah....

He saw. He saw. They all saw. They had an encounter...

It was impossible to change or convert them...

Stephen prayed for people that was stoning him.

John was beheaded.

Peter was crucified. Paul was beheaded.

Polycap was burnt. A soldier that witnessed the execution surrendered to Jesus was killed too.

Oh. You would say.... It is in the Bible.... Lies...

That Deaconess in Abuja was warned by the Muslim in the area....a mosque was there.

She didn't stop doing morning cry. She was stabbed and killed.

A pastor is rccg in maiduguri was not at home. Muslim boys came and told the wife that they had a message for the pastor.

They slaughtered the twins... While the mother watched...that was the message.

When the man came, he called Adeboye and adeboye suggested that he should leave the area...

He told adeboye..... "daddy, you said we should never turn our back to the enemy. I and my wife are staying "

These are people who had personal encounter with Jesus.

During your time in Christianity, were you a child of God indeed?
Any personal encounter?

Or you just live a life of lies?

Personal encounter drives one to serve God.

I couldn't agree with you more. Only people who have not had personal encounter will be swayed by an atheist in this forum. Christianity is all about relationship with the Lover of soul.

PastorDavidAwuj:
HEALING SCHOOL

. . . with his [Jesus’] stripes we are healed.—ISAIAH 53:5

You Can Initiate Healing

God wants you to be well. Some people say, “If God wants me well, why doesn’t He heal me?”

Well, according to the Bible, God wants everyone saved. Then why aren’t all saved? Because they have something to do with it. God has provided salvation for all, but they have a part to play in receiving it.

In the same way, when it comes to healing, we often want to leave it all up to God.

Well, although God may initiate healings on His own some of the time, that’s not the main way that God heals.

This is where a lot of people miss it: They know God initiates some things on His own, because they’ve seen Him do it, so they’re waiting for Him to initiate something for them.

Unfortunately, they might die while they’re waiting.

But you can initiate healing yourself. You don’t have to wait for God to initiate it; you can claim what belongs to you based on His Word.

Isaiah 53:4 says, “Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows. . . .” The original Hebrew says, “Surely He hath borne our sicknesses and carried our pains, yet we did esteem Him stricken, smitten of God and afflicted.”

Verse 5 says, “But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.”

Declaration: I know what belongs to me. I claim what belongs to me based on the Word of God. Health and healing belong to me. Thank You, Father, for health and healing.

Happy New Year!

Sparkle22:
Hello Nairalanders ,have Been Trying To Quit This Habit Of Pornography For 1 Year Now And I Cant, Each Time Made Up Mind To Stop Watching After 2 Weeks The Urge To Watch Will Come And I Will Fall To It. Pls I Need Help In Quiting This Habit Because Its Making Me To Loose Focus And Causing Headache, I Just Clock 21 And I Dont Want To Continue With This Habit .

Consider yourself dead to Pornography ( Sexual immorality) through Christ Jesus according to the scripture. The dead do not view pornography. This is what I normally do with immoral desires that tries to take me captive.

Before long, I guarantee you that the desire to view porn will wear on you and you will be free.

XxSabrinaxX:

What are you trying to suggest? That I didn't search for him with my whole heart? How do you know?

If you did, you would have found Him. A coin was hidden in a room. Two people went in search of it. The first person went in and seeked it lazily and shabbily, after a while he came out screaming, "there is no coin in the room."

The second person went in and seeked patiently and delligently. He ended up finding it . Be still and you will know that He is.

HellVictorinho:

"Finding God" is a predicament.

He who comes to God must believe that He exist. God is a rewarder of those who delligently seek Him. The first step is to believe with your whole heart and mind that He is.

XxSabrinaxX:

Makes no sense. If god was truly omnibenevolent and omnipotent, atheists wont exist.
PS I searched for him with my whole heart. That's how I ended up being atheist.

Are you sure you did search for Him with your whole heart? Because millions including I did search for Him, and found Him.

LordReed:


The evidence is I have woken up for the past few thousand days so I have a reasonable expectation that it will be the case tomorrow. Add to that my experience is not unique, 7+billion people woke up today, I need no faith for that.

Do you realise that somewhere in the part of the world someone slept yesterday and didn't wake up this Friday morning? The key word in your comment above is "expectation." You are expecting to wake up tomorrow, that is faith bro.

XxSabrinaxX:

You have not provided evidence.
You christians need to understand the difference between claims and evidence.
What is your evidence for the existence of the christian God?

They that seek him with their whole heart will truly come to know that He is. They will find me, when they seek me with their whole heart says the Holy One.

LordReed:


LoL! You just admitted that you only operate by faith when you have not confirmed something and you are wondering why we say no? LMFAO!

I do not need faith for anything important so why should I take on faith a god and its scheme of "salvation" when I cannot confirm it?

What is the evidence that you will wake up tomorrow? If you are not living in faith.

I bet you have not given thought to it.
N:B- You will see many tomorrow's.

tintingz:
If I can tell your every actions, choices beforehand, I can confidently tell you, you don't have freewill!

Friend, how does me knowing you will type this, translate to me controlling you to type it?

LordReed:


So anytime you haven't confirmed something is when you operate by faith?

Of course. God gave us His word and ask us to take Him at his word, then we will surely know that He has done what He said, He has done. Sadly, many are dismissing it to their own ruin.

LordReed:


If you know there is money in your account do you need faith to spend it?

No. But there is two types of knowing.
What do I mean? If someone walk up to me and say, "hi friend, I have just deposited 1 million into your account" without presenting any evidence. l only have two options to do regarding the knowledge that just came to.

It is either I dismiss it, or believe it and go check it. The other "knowing" is when I most have checked it out and confirm with all certainty that indeed, he did what he said he has done.

I need faith in the formal illustration but need no faith in the latter. I sincerely hope you got what I am driving at.

LordReed:


Why? If I pay money into your account do you need faith to spend it?

If I don't know that you paid money into my account and actually believe that you did, will the money profit me? Though the money is now in my account. But if I don't know and believe that it is, I will perish in lack and poverty.

Martinez19:
CHRISTIAN : god has already provided healing and miracles for his children.

ME : how come they are still dying from cancer and HIV?

CHRISTIAN : god has provided but it's left for them to receive it by faith.

ME :

When someone provide or gives you something, don't you normally receive it? They is nothing irrational or funny in what you posted. It is simply the truth.

What Jesus did for us is not authomatic but must be activated in our lives through believing.

solite3:
eternal security is true because God preserves the believer through his word and his Spirit in the believer.
If at all it is possible for a believer to lose his salvation it is if he cut himself from Christ or deny Christ in that case such was never a true believer.

The work of a such a one is what proves that such a one has denied christ.

If a profess Christian continues living in sin, it is a sign that he or she was not saved in the first place so when a man is saved he will not lose his salvation.

You've said it all brother! I have always maintain that those who truly belong to Jesus will not continue in sin. Anyone who still make sin a practise have neither seen him, nor knows him. They might even be in the Church, among the saved.

The scripture teaches that we are dead to sin. How shall the dead live anymore in sin?

alBHAGDADI:
He looked back because he didn't believe in the kingdom. It is the same thing as hearing the world of God and rejecting it just as atheists do and just as you are doing now. You have heard the Good News that Christ wants to save you once and for all eternity, yet you rejected it and chose to save yourself by trying not to sin. You have rejected Christ's finished work on the cross and have opted to depend on yourself.

Op, are for grace or for the law? I'm confuse! Today you will preach grace, while tomorrow you will preach sickness and poverty for those who refuse to pay tithe.

XxSabrinaxX:

Obviously it's a conjecture. Why wouldn't I be able to perfectly simulate the universe if I knew enough about the laws of physics and had a powerful enough computer to do it?
And you're severely limiting God's range of knowledge. Omniscience means he knows all things, even the thoughts going through my head. If he created me, he knew i'd end up in hell. Why doesn't he change this if truly he's an all loving god? I mean, He's omnipotent, so he can just remove every single doubt in my heart in less than a second.

Oviously he knows our thoughts. The thoughts of the wicked is an abomination to Him(see Pro15:16). See He cannot change the way you think. If he can, He wouldn't have asked the wicked to forsake his evil thoughts. If God can, He wouldn't have asked us to renew our minds( Romans 12:2). The Bible said, guard your heart with all dilligent for out it flows the issue of life(Pro4:23). God will not guide it for you. We are the gate keeper of our thoughts.

XxSabrinaxX:

Well, according to vocabulary.com(srsly use the internet, don't be asking me these kind of questions):

Omniscience comes from the Latin omnis meaning "all" and scientia meaning "knowledge."
Omniscience is a state of possessing all the knowledge there is — pretty impressive. In a religious sense, people believe in a higher being that has omniscience. In literature, omniscience can refer to the perspective of a narrator who is all-knowing or has the ability to see into the minds of all his characters.

I knew why I asked you. And how does being all knowing translate to programming people like a computer? God knew that you will be who you are today, but did He programmed or influence you to be an athiest? No He didn't. You choosed your part.

Likewise every soul has a choice.

XxSabrinaxX:

Given that God is omniscient and Adam was created by him, the answer is YES. Adam was programmed by God to eat the forbidden fruit.

First of all, what is the meaning of omniscient?

XxSabrinaxX:

Your post makes no damn sense. Its almost like you don't even read my posts before replying.

If an omniscient being should create a man, the actions of said man have already been predetermined by the omniscient creator. See Psalms 139:1-4, 44:21.
If a man chooses to take his life, God is aware of it because his knowledge has no limits.
Conclusion: If an omniscient creator like God exists, then free will cannot also exist. These are mutually exclusive properties. I've done my best to explain where i'm coming from, its left for you and your christian crew to understand.

Man is no computer that can be programmed to function in a certain way. God determines no ones action. Are you trying to tell me that Adam was programmed to eat the forbidden fruit?

OkCornel:
Carefully read Acts 15 and also read the following verses in context (which I've bolded): 1,5,9,10,20,28,29

The Apostles clearly told the Gentile Christians what is needed for them to be Christians in verse 10,20,28,29. And tithing is not part of the requirements.

Having seen this, please why are the Pastors preaching that non-tithers would be under the devourer's curse for not paying their tithes?

Where did the Apostles instruct Christians to give firstfruits?

Only God can reward you for the time and energy you spend in defending the free grace of God. The Lord is your strength and reward! Thou art blessed!

jesusjnr:
Hirelings, watchers, supervisors, caretakers etc.

John 10:11-14

I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep.
The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.
I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.

You can call it whatever you dim fit. But are we agreeing that there are caretakers(as you have called it) in the body of Christ?

solite3:
are you aware that Christ had about 120 followers but only choose 12 disciples even in the twelve Jesus called three sons of bonerges. So Christ established hierarchy withing his followers even Jesus said his father is greater than him which means even within the trinity there is hierarchy acording to the function.

Even only the three men so him transfigure. I mean Peter, James and John. They where the pillars of the blood bought flocks of Christ.
