Bidam: are you a follower of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ or a follower of frosbel?Address the issue of lies against you for the sake of those you might be misleading(more important) and leave talk about frosbel(not important). |
OLAADEGBU: If you are a Christian you will desist from potation.If you are a Christian, show me where they say Christians should desist from potation. |
i.chuka:No. Are Christians banned from taking alcohol? |
Crazyman my friend, to be like logicboy? Tufaikwa! x2. If you are a good man you are a good man. Whether you are neutral or with God. But to avoid had i known, do not let the kingdom. It will not take anything away from you to remain in Christ for his kingdom if you don't allow any church doctrine to be a BURDEN to you. THIS WILL DEFEAT ANY THOUGHT TO BECOME AN ATHEIST WHO ARE WITHOUT BENEFITS. Fellowship with your brethren(church) in TRUTH. There is no burden in true worship. This is my own contribution to the advice my brethren gave which are all good. Peace |
ijawkid: I laugh at the bolded........They will use asteroids to shift the earth and also shift the sun to a safer place of their desire. Make them near oga sun make i see. |
I am with my bros ijawkid. Ride on bro. If mazi mazaje and co should have the mind of Christ, 1 they will not build a nuclear plant to develop atomic BOMB but use it for electricity. 2 they will not build airplanes and attach bombs to it but use it for leisure. 3 they will build tanks for construction works instead of destruction lives and property. 4 they will not enter politics to steal money and destroy people standing in their way because they have one life to live. 5 they should not think of slapping anybody in the first place because they think they are greater than such a person. The mind of Christ is living as he lived. Do the things he commanded his disciples and also the things his apostles taught. |
Logicboy03: Foolish statement of the yearHe told you a plain truth. "Being a catholic does not MEAN you are a Christian." the same apples to people in other churches. |
Syncan: Good answer.It means that a church(under the leadership of those he appointed as bishops) has been established, to which the apostle is writing in encouragement, admonition or instruction. Such a letter is not likely to contain all that the apostle taught the church, that's why he told them to hold on also, to what he had taught them while he was with them by word of mouth. It is the church's duty now to preserve such teachings and transfer them to their children and future generation. This is why the "written word of God" did not claim to be the pillar of truth, rather it gave that authority to the church in 1Tim3:15. All that you need for salvation is found in the church, for the church has in her possession both the "written and verbal word of God as taught by Christ and the apostles" and Holy Spirit continued to be with the church even after Paul to "teach all things". Jn14:16&26.Why is the church afraid to add those revealed truth in the bible? If we should follow that and go beyond what is written, then every church should have their own truth and no body should question it. Whether JW, catholic, anglican, cherubim, Adventist, etc, they all have the truth. The apostles wise and knew why they said "do not go beyond what is written." to avoid lawlessness and division as we have it today. |
OLAADEGBU: An angry Christian is an oxymoron.Now i have to say that you should be ashamed of yourself. You left the content of an advice from alexleo and focused on the nature of the font. If the temporal capital letters shows anger then your name(Id) which is in capital letter signifies that you are a permanent angry(wicked) man. Powerful display of illiteracy. He even asked you to pray for him if that is what you assume but you are here still embarrassing yourself and the Deeper life church you protect. Is this what they teach you people? You keep stressing something that does not exist just because you have nothing to offer and can't accept a simple and honest advice. Ask God for help because you are lacking the fruit of the Holy spirit. Acquire a Deeper life in Christ not a Deeper life in ignorance. |
OLAADEGBU: That quote should give you a clue why it would not be a good idea to teach you when you are not ready to learn.You know you can't teach me because you don't have any truth to offer. Your quote made no sense to me. Didn't you notice? 2 to 3 pages of begging you to teach me and my brothers. No wonder those atheist had the gut to insult the spirit of truth because you. It is better to keep quite and learn. You can't answer questions means you can't teach. Don't force what you don't know on people. |
obadiah777: *SMDH* GOSHEN DONE LED MORE PEOPLE INTO HELL FIRE THAN BEELZEBUB WITH THIS HIS DOCTRINEDo you mean leading people to Africa(your HELL FIRE)? ![]() |
Syncan:Hahaha. I saw my mistake there. As if i was receiving doses of sleep then. What i meant is that angels don't have special prayers they pray on behalf of those who say "angel Raph... PRAY FOR ME." They are not partial in their duty because God will know. What they do is to offer YOUR OWN PRAYERS to God. Then normal communication/feedback about your activities with God will take place. If God wants to test you, they will make request to go and say how they want to achieve it. This happens to everyone praying to God. No special prayers from angels. Your own prayers and good deeds are the things that are needed. |
Yea. Look at this. Tobit 12:12-15 12 Tobit, when you and Sarah prayed to the Lord, I was the one who brought your prayers into his glorious presence. I did the same thing each time you buried the dead. 13 On the day you got up from the table without eating your meal in order to bury that corpse, God sent me to test you. 14 But he also sent me to cure you and to rescue your daughter-in-law, Sarah, from her troubles. 15 I am Raphael, one of the seven angels who stand in the glorious presence of the Lord, ready to serve him. I think everything explained itself. Angels are ready to serve God's purpose for Man. Therefore Angels communicate with Him(i know this is the confusing part). You must pray to God alone and the Angels are ever ready to take your prayers to Him. When they are sent, they bring back reports like: "Most Holy Father! This is what syncan is doing. He is now helping the poor. Do you want to test him again? How long will you be angry with him." These are just their activities. As for PRAYING, you do it your self to show God your commitment. Tobit showed us how it happened. He and Sarah prayed and the Angel readily offer it to God. |
Syncan: Rev8:3 And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne.Have you forgotten we have a High priest? Who does the work of a priest(ie mediation) in the temple of God. The angel CAME and stood at the ALTAR. He was GIVEN incense...to offer prayers...upon the golden ALTAR. Do you who the priest of this altar is? Your prayers and mine are already on the altar. Do you see that? The prayers now ascend to God with the incense. The Angel never added a single prayer to it. Jesus does his works with his Angels. See Rev 1:1 You ask if we dread him so much that we have to go through angels and Mary? and I answer thus: you said earlier In this your statement you meant that a man who prays for another is not actually mediating, but Jesus does. Why then do you think that an angel praying for man is mediating and not Jesus. The truth remains that any saint(man or angel) praying for man is actually doing the prayer like you said,and Jesus;the mediating.Angels make request to God in behalf of man. Infact one of their ministry is to help man but pray for man individually. Man's prayers are received by the High priest and offered to God. You and I agree that angels are saints. You and I agree that angels pray. You and I agree that God loves their prayers and answers them. I have shown you that they pray for men Zech1:12. I have shown you that they offer our prayers to God Rev8:3-4. Now you've heard His word....Still the same thing. Angels make request to God for men in general not individually. Tobias prayed for himself while the Angel offer it to God. |
Bidam: "Never try to teach a pig to sing; it wastes your time and it annoys the pig" |
Bidam: "Never try to teach a pig to sing; it wastes your time and it annoys the pig"Don't be over joyous my friend. Anybody can state that quote and be happy as long as it helps you to run away from answering a question. If i had time i would give other quotes that will gladden your heart as you continue your flight. |
OLAADEGBU: It is good that you admitted that I'll be wasting my time teaching you. John Paul Getty made the following statement to that effect:If you feel it is a waste of time to teach me then teach my brothers who are reading. I hope there will be no more excuses. It is Jn 14:3 and they are waiting for your explanations. |
Opportunity for Christ to teach his follower to worship, honour, adore Mary and make her image. But he waved it aside. Catholics are on their own. What is dokie even yapping? Are you telling us the revealed truth about the will of God or the will of MAN. Follow what Christ said, "do the will of God" and be blessed just like Mary. Worship God in spirit and in truth not with images and statues. Images which are not true of the person they depict. Is this not a glaring falsehood? |
Syncan: So now we understand that if another prays for you, then he prays;and our lord Jesus will mediate. FineLike i said Angels commune and make request to God. But what we are looking at is: Were they empowered to receive prayers from Man and in turn offer it to God? Jesus urged us to pray and ask God for anything in his name and he will do it, jn 14:13-16. When you pray to God through an Angel, it is contrary to the arrangement God has made in Jesus. Because Jesus is the only way to the Father. Can you compare prayers made through Angels and the one made through Christ which should be more effective? Besides, Angels don't receive prayers from men and offer to God...that is the work of our High priest(Jesus). We have an advocate with the Father who is jesus, our mediator, 1Jn 2:1. Do we dread him so much that we now choose to go through Angels and Mary? Did he not ask us to come? Our Father said He knows our problems but He wants US to ask. How can you be telling Angels and Mary to pray on your behalf when the Father wants US to do it ourselves? Do you also tell them all your problems to beg God on your behalf? I hope you see reason in these things. |
OLAADEGBU: Why will you be stubborn and not truthfully answer my kweshions? You will not be helping me to decipher and discern whether you are a diligent sincere seeker of the truth or not, and you know that in as much as I don't want to waste your time I wouldn't want to waste mine either.Hmm...did you not learn from the parable of the sower "some fell on the way side, stony ground, among thorns, but others on good ground." mat 13:3-9. If you are looking for a particular target to convert then you are wasting your time. There are a lot of people here not just me who might have difficulty in understanding some things in the bible. Share the truth you have unless you are ashamed because what you have is not true and you choose to dribble us. |
Syncan: Please which one came first, the teachings to the Thessalonians, Hebrews, etc by word of mouth or the teachings by letters.I think word of the mouth comes first because they have to accept Christ through word of the mouth preaching. Then after establishment, the apostles will have people they can send letters to. |
OLAADEGBU: Explanations to change from what? You have to be specific. I'm not here to call folks to change from one church or religion to another but to change from the power of darkness into the kingdom of the Son of God.But you have forgotten that you are not evangelizing to me alone. Assuming i decide to be stubborn and never answer your question truthfully, will you allow my actions stop you from bringing people out of darkness into light by just explaining? Or is there nothing to explain in Jn14:3? |
truthislight: What do they teach you in your church?He is still a child. He did not notice that abuse/insults from Christians have reduced greatly except for some Atheist and people in some other religion. I thank God for that. We labour not invain. @Syncan my friend, I will reply you tomorrow. |
Richieboyn: Why u de worry urself with Bookmark na? Kai... Plz leave him alone. Dm say 'Silence is d best answer to a mumu'. If u continuing arguing with him, He'll drag u down to his level and beat u wit experience.What can the insults from one who lacks the fruit of the Holy spirit do to me? Nothing o! Shall i not regard him as a heathen? Enjoy heathenated life. |
OLAADEGBU: If you are a diligent sincere seeker of the truth you have to start with this basic knowledge:I thought preaching the word should be something of "anyone that has ear let him hear." do we now have true seekers and fake seekers. Can't i be touched by your explanations to change. Christian Brothers should not hoard explanations of the word for any personal reason or because of any individual. Am i still getting the explanations? |
OLAADEGBU: Tell me why I should waste my time explaining this verse to you when I know that you will readily twist around and it easily suppress the truth in unrighteousness? I'll rather explain it to any diligent sincere seeker who is willing and ready to learn. The Lord Jesus Christ gave us the following warning which should come handy in your case:Please sir, explain to me. |
Syncan: So after all these bla bla bla, all you could arrive at is that 2thess2:15 is not true. Ok na, I guess the Holy Spirit is watching o.The Holy spirit is the spirit of truth. What you have to understand from 2thess 2:15 is: Since the teaching about Christ priesthood according to Hebrew is not found in the letter to the thessalonians then they will be taught by the word of the mouth. The same goes for other teachings which are written but not found in thessalonians. Once the Holy spirit reveals the truth to them, they write it down for reference and teaching purposes. They don't carry it in their head/memory. John was told to write his own down, Rev 1:19. |
Syncan: hehehe in Ubenedictus style, "And these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and to Apollos for your sakes; that ye might learn in us not to think of men above that which is written, that no one of you be puffed up for one against another. King James Version.This catholic "Word of the Mouth" doctrine(lawlessness) has been standing on falsehood and deceit. I will tear it down for truth to stand before catholics who seek the truth. Common sense will tell us that 1 You can't compare the separate volumes of the book Romans, Corinthians, Hebrew to thessalonians cos thessalonians have fewer words. 2 A lot of things in the books mentioned cannot be found in thessalonians. 1Cor 4:6 says: "...do not go beyond the things that are written,..." See how it started and why we have different denomination- catholic, anglican, jw, Pentecostal, etc. 1Cor 1:10-12 12 what i mean is this, that each one of you says: "i belong to Paul," "but i to Apollo," "but i to Cephas," "but i to Christ." 1Cor 3:12-22 Hence let no one be boasting in men;...whether Paul or Apollos or cephas.... Then 1Cor 4:6 Now, brothers,..."do not go beyond the things that are written," in other that you may not be puffed up individually in favour of th one against the other. So those who are puffed up by their Pope or pastors, those holding unto the word of mouth we don't know where it was manufactured should go and read what is written. There is no how you can't see what the apostles taught in Matthew, mark, acts, Corinthians, Hebrew etc. Brethren, the doctrine of word of the mouth brings division and lawlessness. So it cannot stand as truth. |
Syncan: Do reconcile these in bold, let me know what you're talking about, i.e, Why should I tell a man to pray for me when Jesus is the mediator between God and Man. Secondly do angels pray? If yes, does God not want to hear their prayers?James 5:14 English Standard Version (ESV) 14 Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. Col 4:3 meanwhile praying also for us, that God would open to us a door for the word.... It is either a man prays for himself or he prays for another and our Lord Jesus will mediate. Do you think they don't know that the prayer of a sinless Angel will be much more effective? But there is nothing like that. God wants to see your faith in him not that of a perfect spirit. Angels pray and make requests to God and he answer them. So now show us where an Angel has pray on behalf of men. This is what you believe in. |
chukwudi44: So many books were WRITTENWait o! And you are happy? What is the Catholics tradition? To remove the inspired word of God or what? |
Syncan: So I am wrong because I am asking my "fellow servant" to pray to God for me?That your "fellow servant" is not like you. He is not as sinful as you and i. He is serving God in a different capacity as a spirit. God wants to hear the prayer of a sinful MAN who is not reluctant to come and ask Him for anything. Tell a MAN to pray for you because God is interested in the prayers of men. The apostles knew these things which was inspired by the holy spirit and told you to do the same. Jesus is the mediator between God and MAN(not Angels). |
John 16:13 GNT Good News Translation When, however, the Spirit comes, who reveals the truth about God, he will lead you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own authority, but he will speak of what he hears and will tell you of things to come. Who said he needs interpretation of what was written in plain english. The truth about God was revealed not hidden. NOT IN PARABLE but in plain english else the letters won't make sense to the foolish Galatians, Corinthians, etc who it is meant to teach. You don't need a man of God to interpret plain english unless an illiterate wants it to be TRANSLATED to igbo, hausa or yoruba. Do not be deceived not to read with your brain. What the Holy spirit does is to help who believe and accepted that revealed truth to walk in the spirit, to walk in the light as Jesus is in the light, 1Jn 1:7. Muskeeto will not accept what Jesus said here in plain english: "I am going to my Father and your Father...." He will happily say, "Taaa! Am even here with my father, what a non sense." To those that do not accept Him, the wisdom of men has failed them. |
