You must understand your own life as a child, were you beating up, by your parents, doing the right thing Or doing the wrong things? haibe: This doesn't make any sense, the focal point is that there is nothing like freewill here because the consequences would counter the son's desire.. Also what sort of discipline is it to throw one in hell? Let me ask, God forbid if u end up In hell, would you prefer that God gave you any freewill in the first place? Its absurd that because I want to pls God, I will do lots of things contrary to my nature, go through temptation and trials and all sorts of pain. And then if I can't scale through them,he throws me into hell. Lol, why bother even creating me in the first place if he knows I will fails temptations and tests and trials..
Lets not deceive ourselves bro, this story can't be true, but I have faith the end will be good, I would never join other men to believe God is a sadist.. Lol |

You said it yourself. "Quote Its absurd that because I want to pls God, I do lots of things contrary to my nature, go through temptation and trials and all sorts of pain.Then you have made a choice-to obey the Lord, to go through the temptations and the pain to please Him. You really don't know who God is do you? God's a forgiven God, we are flesh and blood, and our flesh will always fail the test, because I make wrong choices in my life, If I fail-I pray, God forgive me. We are not perfect-its the Spirit of God that changed my life-My thoughts are His thoughts-everyday I think of Him, everyday I am either writing about Him, and learning more of Him, everyday I know I am safe with Him. When I walk through the shadow of death, I will fear no evil. God said by their fruit you will know them. It's your choice-you listen to God, and follow His league, or you walk your own path, and follow yours, which will lead you to Hell. You need to understand, God won't beat you up, a loving Father will always discipline His children. Adam and Eve made their choice, and they failed, Adam and Eve asked the Lord to forgive them, God is a loving God and did what they had asked-He forgave them. Even thus they were throwing out of the Garden-it was Adam And Eve who made their choice's to stay with God.Ephesians 6:12 "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. haibe: This doesn't make any sense, the focal point is that there is nothing like freewill here because the consequences would counter the son's desire..

Your Church obeys no other name other then the Catholic Church, Christ is not named the head author of your Church, Mary is-and you are preaching to us.Jesus said unless one is born again he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. And you Catholic's refuse the word of God, knowing your hearts are darkened away from the truth. You believe their is one God, good even the demons believe. jamace: If you say "The Bible" did not originate from the Catholic Church, I will categorically say that you do not know the history of The Bible.
-Need I tell you that the Catholic Church existed over 300 years before the Bible? -Need I tell you that Jesus gave apostle Peter the mandate to head His Church, which is the Catholic Church? -Do I need to confirm to you that each inspired writer's book was a separate book and that the Catholic Church collated these books and bound them into one book and gave it the name BIBLE? -This may hurt you but it is the absolute truth that, ALL the authors of the NEW TESTAMENT are Catholics. Read the history of each author for confirmation.
Having pointed out the above facts, I wish to earnestly appeal to you to accept the teachings of the Catholic Church as the authority whenever you are in confusion on any biblical issue. Also, note that the teachings/works of the Church did not end when the Bible came into being. Many teachings of the Church have come up and many will still come up, as the Holy Spirit directs.
May the peace of the Lord be with you all. - |

What do you believe? Ukutsgp: Why do we have so many different doctrines in churches today? Is the bible not one? Is God not one?.
Some will say pay tithe others will say no need. Some will say ladies can wear trouser others will say ladies should not wear trouser. Some will say, ladies must cover their hair others will say ladies should not cover their hair in church. Some will say, there is hell other will say there is nothing like hell fire. Some will say God is three in one others will say God is only one. Some will say u can pray through mary and jesus others will say pray only through jesus christ. Some will say fast others will say no need to fast. Some will say the earth shall be turned into paradise other will say there is no such thing, that we will all leave earth to heaven in the last day. Some will say give your first fruit offering other will say there no need for that anymore. Some will say we should worship God only on saturday which is the sabbath day others will say it is on sunday we should worship God. Some will say no christmas others will say there is christmas. Some will say christians can marry more than one wife other will say they cannot. Some say you can wear earing and fix nails others will say you must not wear earing and fix nail(for ladies). Some say you can do blood transfusion and take drugs others say you cannot do blood transfusion and take drugs that all you need is to apply faith. etc.
Somebody tell me, is this not confusion?. Hw can we know the truth now. Or who have a clear answers to the above different doctrines peddles by different denominations today. I wonder sha! God help me o. |

The parent may not have threatened the boy, as it sounds, but a sign of discipline towards their son, teaching him respect, is showing a parents love. But if the boy rebel's against his parent, and he don't respect the demands and chooses to take his chances, and ignore his parent wishes, and takes the lot instead of leaving the cookie when he was asked too, then the boy had made a choice, he either gets the beating of his life' from his parent because he refuses to obey, Or he don't get the beating off his life. God says if a parent don't discipline his son, the parent doesn't love their son.Proverbs 13:24 "Whoever spares the rod hates their children, But the one who loves their children is careful to discipline them. Proverbs 19:18 "Discipline your children, for in that there is hope, Otherwise you will ruin their life's. haibe: Well the scenerio you have given is similar to this... a parent put sweet cookies and nice drinks on one side, and bitter leaf of all sorts on other side, he says to the son: you have the freewill to take the cookies and bitterleaf, but don't take the cookie or else I will beat you mercilessly when I get back home..
Now two things can be deduced from such a scenerio
1. The freewill the parent has given is just an illusion, there is actually no freewill because the consequences of choosing the cookie would not make the son want to pick the cookie..
2. The parent is actually wicked by taunting the son with the cookie,knowing fully well he would prefer that option and not the other.
The scenerio above paints its all, of God and Man.. That of God would even be worse than the parents own because God is supposed to be omniscient right? So he actually knows who will make heaven or not, so why can't he just remedy the situation instead of watching the movie of how it will play out.. Smh, any way I really don't care sha, I believe everything will turn out fine.. Have a great day  |

No-one is deceiving anybody? You either believe in Christ, or you don't believe in Christ.Matthew 7:13 "Enter through the narrow gate, for wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. This scripture say's it all, the Lord is given us a choice-we either walk on the highways which can lead us to Hell, or we stay on the narrow road, that leads us to Him.If I choose "NOT" to walk with Christ, then the reward I could only retrieve is DYING for eternity in Hell fire. But if I choose "TO" walk with Him, then the reward I could only retrieve is LIVING for eternity with Christ. What about you?haibe: Lol...I would not have replied because this post was made by me years ago and I don't know who resurrected it.

Simple. God gave us a choice, we either believe, or we don't believe, I prefer having this choice, normally when we feel our parents are forcing us to go to Church, many of us rebel, we either walk away from God, or we stay with God. Adam and Eve had this same choice. They may have blowing their chances to stay in the garden of Eden, but that was their choice. Choices are made everyday, and it's my choice to stay with God. |

I suppose it won't "change" for you, See without you having any knowledge and wisdom, you can only see the scripture as you see it. Ephesians 4:18 "They are darkened in their understanding and separated from the life of God because of their ignorance that is in them due to the hardening of their hearts. Ephesians say's it all-You can't see the Spiritual side that's written, your heart is so darkened it is actually drawing you further away from the truth of God. You yourself, not having a clue; must make life a little difficult for you to understand the scriptures, you only see them written in black and white, without seeing any colours. Uben you poor old devil-become a born again Christian and receive Christ into your heart-and He will teach you the word of God. Allow Christ to show you Matthew 16:18 over again, this time with colour.Ubenedictus: Brocab, hehehe, peter was given d keys, on him Christ promised to build d church. that is dat! u can go on and lie all u want but it wont change wat d bible says. |

Read your bible, the words Peter spoke weren't his own, Jesus said these words did not come from flesh and blood but by My Father in heaven, and I tell you that you are Peter, {Meaning Rock} and on this rock I will build My Church. I will give you the Keys, and the gates of hades will not previle against it, against what? Explain to me the reason why Jesus gave Peter such authority? It appears Simon receive the nickname Peter because Simon came across being a strong man, and of course Rock would make up a good description for Simon size and build. This scripture shows us clearly, Jesus did not give any authority to Peter, He was only preferring to the nickname, Jesus had given him from the beginning, and because Peter's nickname means Rock, Jesus had use it, as away to get His message across. Lets look at Matthew 7:24 "Anyone who listens to My teachings, and follows it wise, is like a person who builds his house on a Rock. It seems Jesus had mention the word Rock, and again He was preferring to the word of God. Really Uben" have you lost your mind? How does one think the way you think? Jesus didn't give Peter any of the authority above more then the other disciples, they were all equal, none was greater then the other. Uben" you need the Spirit of God to lead you with this one. Ubenedictus: Sorry dear, he was talking to peter and talking about peter. He said "blessed are u simon bar jona...and i tell u u are peter(kepha) and on this rock(kepha) i will build my church...I will give YOU d keys of d kingdom". It is very clear Jesus was given d 'word' an new name, it was peter he gave d name, he didnt give keys to d word, he gave it to peter, he said i wil give 'YOU' the keys, he didnt say i will give my word d keys. |

Just with that statement, You really don't know the bible do you? No Jesus didn't say on My rock I was just using my own words dick head. And on this Rock I will build My Church-but the sad part about it, Jesus may have been talking to Peter, but He was talking about the words God had spoken through Peter, Not Peter himself. T he Rock is the Word of God, not flesh and blood; and I will give you the keys to the kingdom of heaven again it's the Word. Peter is flesh and blood, its the word that had built the foundations Jesus {Word} is the chief corner stone. No-one can lay down, what's already been laid. Why am I explaining myself to you anyway, you don't even know who Jesus is, and you don't know anything about the bible, you are not a born again Christian, and you believe in a Church that Jesus nor Peter has anything to do with. You should try and ask the Lord into your heart, and receive the Holy Spirit, then come at me with these beliefs of yours. You won't even believe them yourself. Ubenedictus: Brocab is now confusing himself, he cant decided who is called peter and cephas, it is d same person and it isnt Jesus, it is simon bar jonah. he is both peter and cephas, and Jesus said to him 'on this rock i will build my church, i will give you the keys'
He didnt say 'on my rock i will build my church, i will give me d keys'.
The bible is clear on this and refuses every attempt of brocab to misinterprete. |

After Jesus came and gone, images aren't needed any more. Before the Holy Spirit would meet the high priest in the clambers. Jesus had changed those old ways-He sacrifice Himself to save us. As soon as Jesus was crucified, the Spirit of God had left the temple, where He would meet Aaron the high priest that year. These old ways have changed, and the Spirit of God lives inside every man who chooses to believe. Jesus had changed the law' we don't need the images, the Lord had given us His Spirit to remind us who Christ is everyday. |

Try this one UbennnnnnnnnnnnnnnnMany scholars in Israel assume Jesus taught in Hebrew? But Joseph Fitzmyer Professor of the Emeritus of the Catholic University in Washington D C. America, one of the world's N/T scholars suggest that Jesus employed an Aramaic wordplay {Kepha-Kepha} in his responds to Peter's declaration. How ever Fitzmyer acknowledges a difficulty: Fitzmyer wondered why Jesus did not say "On this Petros I will build? From the Greek word Petros meaning "Stone or Rock" and yet according to the N/T Jesus gave Peter {Whose given name was Simon} the name Kephas or Cephas meaning "stone" in Aramaic. This report was handed down by J.A. Fitzmyer-So It just shows one word taken out of bible text, how the Wikipedia explains it, Petra-Petros meaning a boulder or a large Rock" and Cephas meaning a "stone. This can cause manager problems throughout bible history. So which is it, did Matthew 16:18 say Cepha meaning a small stone? Or did Matthew 16:18 say Petros-Petra meaning large rock or boulder? And my bible say's Cephas. if Peter was the stone, then it leaves Jesus to be Petros-Petra the rock. I will build My Church upon My Rock.Ubenedictus: Jesus said "you are kepha and on this kepha i will build my church"
Brocab says no no no, it is "you are kepha and on ANOTHER kepha i will build my church".
now who is correct? i was Jesus, wat do u say? |

This is what I love about you Uben you have nothing good to say about anybody-And you pounce around calling yourself a Christian. Even thus you have built your Church upon Peter's name? Matthew 16:18 "Has other idea's. Jesus said get behind Me Cephas {Satan} you are an offence to Me, For you are not mindful the things of God, but the things of men. So does this mean your Church is built on the things of men?At first Jesus said, on this rock I will build My Church, and the gates of Hades will not previle against it. Matthew 16:23 "And then Jesus say's to "Peter" get behind Me Satan. This is a quick change from Jesus? At first He was giving "Peter" the glory, as the Catholic Church have twisted it too believe. And after hearing the words Peter had spoken, Jesus then said: Simon Peter and ON this Rock I will build My Church and the gates of hades will not previle against it. Did we read this right? ON this Rock I will build this church Petros Petra Rock I will build my Church. So this clearly that Jesus was talking about the words God had spoken through "Peter, Not "Peter" himself. Jesus's next breath was Cepha>"Peter" get behind Me Satan. Which means the Church isn't built on the nickname Christ had given Peter' but it's built on the word of God, and the gates of Hades will previle against it.[color=#000000]Is this is what the scriptures tell us, or do you have a different bible?

The Roman Catholic's believe the word "rock" our saviour Jesus could not have meant Himself, but only Peter, as so much more apparent in Aramaic in which the same word {Kipha} is used for "Peter" the Rock.
This statement alone admits of one explanation, namely He wishes to make Peter the head of the hole community of those who believe in Him as the true Messias; that through this foundation {Peter} the kingdom of Christ would be unconquerable; that the spiritual guidance of the faithful was place in the hands of Peter, as the special representative of Christ. The Aramaic Kepha, In contrast to this, in paragraph of the Roman Catholic Church says the rock cannot prefer to Jesus, "But only Peter, as so much more apparent in Aramaic, which the word {kipha} is used for "Peter" the rock". The problem is' the text used is not Aramaic but Greek. Since we do not have the Aramaic text, it is not proper to refer it as proof of the Roman Catholic position. We would have to ask ourselves why would the Roman Catholic Church, resort in using something that we don't have: the Aramaic text. Is it because their argument isn't supported by the Greek so they must infer something from a text we don't process.Furthermore in John 1:42 "It says he brought him the Jesus, Jesus looked at him and said, "You are Simon the son of John; you shall be called Cephas, {Which is translated Peter} "The "Peter" in here is "Petros not Petra. It is used to elucidate the Aramaic Kephas Which is not a name in Aramaic. Except in John 1:42 "Where it is used to elucidate the Aramaic Kephas, Petros is used in the NT only as a name for Simon Peter. The translation supports the view that Kepha is not a proper name, since one does not usually translate proper names.Jesus is the Rock on which the Church is built. The truth is the only foundation is Jesus. The only Rock of truth is Jesus Christ, and that we, as His redeemed need to keep our eye's on Him. We are to look to no-one else as the foundation, the source, on the hope to which the Church is built. The Church is build upon "Jesus" not Peter. 1 Corinthians 3:11 "For no-man can lay a foundation other then the one which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Ubenedictus: JESUS said, 'u ar kepha and upon this kepha i wil build my church', he was clearly talking to peter. |

Christianity Etc › Re: Do You Force Your Children To Go To Church ? by brocab: 9:43pm On Feb 04, 2016 |
Parents do it because they were taught the same way. And in most cases through generations you will find they were taught by either the Catholic Church, all some other religious group, parents do want the best for their children right? And in many cases the children usually re-bell against their parents blaming God and the Church just for a silly reason to become an Atheist. Every Sunday, many parents remind their children of the obligation to go 'church'. Any child who refuses to go is blackmailed, screamed at, abused and sometimes even beaten.
So my question is , if the bible says we should not provoke our children and since God is also tender with his children, why do parents use brute force to make many children go to church against their own will and then use the basics of life like shelter and money to threaten them if they fail to comply ?
Is this productive ? Could this be the reason why such families / homes are 'manufacturing' more atheists/agnostics/unfundamental Christians than those from other backgrounds?
Is a child going to church evidence that he is a Christian ?

Christianity Etc › Re: Evil In The Church; My Experience At Dunamis, Abuja. (pictures) by brocab: 2:07am On Feb 04, 2016 |
Interesting. Remember the story about the wheat and the tares. And the servant wanted to separate them and the master of the House said, No, we will gather them up at harvest time, we will separate the tares from the wheat, put all the wheat into the barns, and throw all the tares into the fire.shedyman: As is customary of me, I attended Dunamis Int'l, Abuja today, the 25th day of January 2015.
I parked my car at the garage created for that purpose. One of the ushers in grey suit menacingly approached me and sternly warned me not to park there. Cars were parked beside me without any warning issued to the other drivers.
I had to look around so as to be sure I was not missing anything, after doing this, I told the usher from the pit of hell that the spaces between my car and surrounding vehicles was wide enough for entry and exit (true to my word, the cars that were in the garage when I parked had moved out and other cars had parked in their stead).
At the close of service, I was shocked to discover my tyres had been maliciously deflated. Instinctively, I had to look around for the usher from hell who took offence that I had the audacity to challenge the reasonableness of his instructions, I was not surprised to find he was no where to be found.
Consequently, I approached one of the ushers on ground to make a harmless complaint, I was dumbfounded when he threatened he was going to beat me up if I don't take my car in the state of its deflated tyres out of the garage. I dared him, but sensing I was a little enlightened he exercised restraint.
These two attitudes I experienced today got me wondering what the church of today is turning into. Are these really the signs of end time? If workers in church put up these attitudes (albeit unjustly), can it be said that the preaching that comes up from the pulpit is in anyway purging society of evil, looting, corruption, prostitution and malice?
Whilst I respect the grace and will continue to respect the grace and anointing of the Senior pastor of the church, Dr. Paul Eneche, I wonder what a christian whose faith is still shaky will do in my circumstance.
This post is actually a clarion call for pastors to be wary of the character that surrounds them, because these workers are the image the public has of the church. |

Gen14:18-20 recorded that Abraham paid Melchizedek tithe of all,meaning that we can also tithe in other things apart from money. another verse is Gen28:20-22, Jacob made a covenant to pay God tithe of all and said "if you protect me,bless me,and bring me back to my father's house in peace". since God will not come down to take these tithes the priests who are His oracles and mouth piece on earth do take d tithes. if a particular church decides to channel their tithe towards church building, it is their decision and choice. so BIBLICALLY tithes are for GOD, but the priests are being GOD'S REPRESENTATIVES on earth are entitled to have the tithes. BUT if the same priest upon receiving the tithe decides to build d church with it there is nothing wrong with it.

Christianity Etc › Re: My Experience At A Church Today Almost Made Me Cry by brocab: 12:49pm On Feb 03, 2016 |
You don't have to take a video, we already know. Weeee: I was at a Church today and I almost wept for the black race. Is it that people don't read their Bibles or they just choose to be gullible and stupid?
The Pastor or Prophet as he claimed he was always said that he isn't a beggar and he doesn't need anybody's money, but his actions were quite different. He acted like a beggar to me.
He was even so bold to request for so much money from his members and they saw nothing wrong at all. Okay, let me list all the money he collected so you can see for yourselves.
1) Who wants to give God the biggest note he/ she has in his/ her pocket?
2) Brown envelope.
3) White envelope.
4) Offering
5) Who wants to give money to the visiting Prophet? Tell the prophet thank you, Sow a seed now.
6) If you have 5000, 10,000 or any big amount of money you want to give to God.
Women came out mostly and I must say the church made almost N200, 000 or even more in just a day and this happens every Tuesday and other days they fellowship.
Things I noticed about the church...
1) The Pastor is an owner of a big car, while the members were mostly poor women and few men.
2) The Pastors dressed far better than the members. In fact, the members looked like people with lots of financial problems.
3) The only things the members get from these Pastors are prayers and a promise that God will reward them in 2016. I remember that I went to this same church some years back and the members still looked the same with no much of a change.
When will Nigerians get back to their senses to realize that these Pastors are using their beliefs, emotions and gullibility to steal all the money they have?
Only when we begin to think and come to a reasonable conclusion that God doesn't need money, but humans do, that is when we will begin to think right.
I wish I could take a video of what went on. |

He was talking to Peter, "But" He was talking about the Word God Had spoken through Peter. The word is the Church. Jesus is the word. Jesus is the head and we are the body. Jesus is the chief corner stone. The word is the foundation that's built on solid rock. Peter isn't the word.Acts 7:48 "However the Most High does not live in Houses {Temples} made by human hands. Is not the Catholic Church built by men of brick and mortar. God lives in a Spiritual house {which means the Saints}Are we not the Saints.Colossians 1:24 "Now we can see here the Church is not a building made of Bricks and mortar "But the Church is the body of Christ.Are we not the body of Christ.Acts 2:38 "Peter said unto them repent, and be Baptised everyone of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remissions of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy-Spirit. Is God not a Spirit. Matthew 24:35 "Heaven and Earth will pass away, but My Words will never pass away. {Meaning you Church building is dead, Meaning His Word lives}So there you have it Uben, your Church building is nothing, God doesn't live in your Church building made by Human hands. GOD IS SPIRIT AND HE LIVES IN HIS PEOPLE. Ubenedictus: JESUS said, 'u ar kepha and upon this kepha i wil build my church', he was clearly talking to peter. |

You did not ask about how much jesus mean to me!
You only asked to tell you who I think jesus is, not about how I feel, but who I know jesus as. I have told you who jesus is and you can't say I'm wrong, cus I used the scriptures and not man made ideaology. You have not been able to reply the scriptures I posted on who jesus is you are now trying to shift it again to how I feel about jesus. You can only know what jesus meant to me only when you know who jesus is.
Again I tell you, you did not ask me to describe my feelings as regards jesus Christ. We have been discussing who jesus is on these thread for a while till you shifted the topic, this I responded to.
Look at your question again, you added a scripture, was peter response in that verse about his feelings or who he thinks jesus is!?. Why then are you now coming up with this new twist, another attempt not to respond to the scriptures posted there!?
Quit the lies brocad, the bolded are not part of your initial request.
My view of who jesus is similar or same as that of peter, you can't force me to have a different view of jesus than that of peter. It does not mean I'm copying peters view or scriptural view, but it points to you that my views and understanding and beliefs and even feelings are shaped by the word of God. All those with that same view about the scriptures as s guide will have the same view about who jesus is.
Nothing is impossible to God. I'm not God!
1 Corinthians 3:16 "Don't you know, that you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you. Then this proves the Spirit of God does not live inside you. You are expecting me to say something different from what peter said and you are still saying I dnt have spirit of God in me? Stop confusing urself Bro. If someone says he has the spirit of God in him, is he not expected to say things in line with what peter said about jesus?
Did peter call jesus almighty God? No, he called him the "mesiah, son of the living God!."
I do not brag or talk about my feelings for jesus, I express it as he commanded, I try my best to follow his commands and teachings even though I falter atimes. If you think there is one of jesus commands/directive that I dnt follow, say it out in your next post. who do I love with my whole everything ?read the scriptures below
John 14:23 King James Bible Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
Matt 22:37-39 Kjv Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
Who did jesus call that God that we should love. John 17:1-3 Kjv 1 These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee: 2 As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. 3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.
Note: Again no response to the scriptures. 1 john 5:14, john 3:16-18, rom 1:3 job 1:6, john 3:16, Matt 3:17, Luke 9:35, Matt 16:16, Heb 1:9,
And as always, you have shifted from mentioning hitler and war after I've replied you. |

I answered your question on 30 Jan by 11:10 am on these thread. In case you refused to read it, I will post it here again. "Ill be glad to answer your question above. But you might not like it cus my view on who Jesus is similar or same to that of peters description. So expecting me to give something different from that of peter or the scriptures is not possible! Jesus is the son of the supreme being, the most high God, the living God.(1 john 5:14, john 3:16-18 , rom 1:3) Angels are called Gods sons too but Jesus is Gods only begotten son.(job 1:6 , john 3:16) Jesus is jehovahs master worker and he is sent to us to be our savior. On completion of his work on earth, he went back to heaven, he told to sit on the right hand side of the most high. Jesus is not God almighty, he did not say so, his disciples or apostles did not say so. Jesus is not equal to God, as at all times he was loyal to the only true God jehovah, even to the point of death."
Jehovah, the only true God, the almighty anointed jesus as our messiah! , our savior.
Matt 3:17 Also, a voice from the heavens said: “This is my Son, the beloved, whom I have approved.”
Luke 9:35 And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him
Matt 16:16 King James Bible And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God
Heb 1:9 You loved righteousness, and you hated lawlessness. That is why God, your God, anointed you with the oil of exultation more than your companions.
Seems you need to read up on what Christ, messiah means.
You've left the questions I asked and now answering one I did not ask. I quoted your question, then answered you to show you there is no twisting or something hidden. If you are still interested in answering mine, pls do same so that all will know which question you are answering.
Pls give us an example! When you make such statements, pls support it with facts.
I asked you the statements when you made your false statement about jehovahs witnesses and marriage:
"if you are truthful, can you tell the whole world the stands of jehovahs witnesses as to marriage? and have you seen them dissolve any marriage union before? Do you hear cases of divorce in their marriages like you hear about numerous pastors and religious leaders today?"
You are not able to answer or respond to these issues/ questions raised. You try to cover it up with another question, well the answer is that jehovahs witnesses will not dissolve ur marriage even if you are married to the village babalawo.! They do not exercise the power to determine if you are married or not outside the law or tradition. As to your question, jehovahs witnesses are married to fellow humans of the opposite sex as was done by adam and eve.
Sir brocad, it does matter! Standing your ground on the side of jesus and his commands for his followers in the face of imprisionment, serious pain and even death tells a lot about your faith! They whole heatedly told hitler " we shall serve God rather than men" . germany claims to be a majority Christian country, do you think hitler would have been able to raise such army to fight such deadly war if all the christians (or those who claim to be) had stood their grounds on the side of God like jehovahs witnesses did? So Bro, what the jehovahs witnesses did does matter, they believed jesus when he said " he who loses his life for my sake will have it back(?)"
Good, they are in the right path In fulfilling isaiah prophecy :
Isa 2:2-4 Kjv 2 And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD'S house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it. 3 And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. 4 And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more. Those that live by the sword.......
You still have a lot to learn about isreal and the isrealites. You call Gods people those who dnt believe in jesus as the Christ.
Note: you have not been able to defend this two lies of urs. Lying does not help.
And you did not say anything about those who are left on earth after the so called rapture! |

Show me until you are black and blue-The scripture has nothing to do with Peter personally, flesh and blood can not speak such words. But the Spirit of God can. {Meaning the word that came out of Peters mouth was not from his own flesh and blood} Jesus said and on this rock I will build My Church. These words were spoken through Peter by the Spirit of God. Jesus then said: with these words I will build My church. Christ is the chief corner stone. Christ is the true foundation, Christ is the rock, Christ Is the Word from the beginning. John 1:1 "In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God. Matthew 7:24 "Therefore whoever hears these words of Mine, and puts them into practise is like a wise man who built his house on a rock. gemale: cont'd... Or is it d Anglicans (scions of D church of England) who has as their founder Henry VIII, a man so consumed wt lust 4 a woman & quest 4 a male heir dt he broke away because d church didn't allow him divorce his wyf Catherine 2 marry Anna boleyn. He then made himself d head of D church in England, divorced his wife & married a new 1. Tell me which oda church has its roots in d tym of Jesus (bows)? We call a spade by its name & u term us arrogant. Nw 2 ansa ur questions abt d authority of D church using various biblical verses, dont u c dt we r aptly defined by eph 2:20 u quoted. Christ is our chief cornerstone wt d apostles our true foundation. Oda churches can't b traced lyk us, u r all man-made (no iota of pride here; just truth) ur attempt 2 twist scripture 2 refute dt Peter wasn't d rock Jesus referred 2 was a gargantuan failure. Let's go 2 D gospel of Matthew 16:18 "& I say also unto thee, that thou art Peter (d Greek word used here was Petros meaning" rock", nw u understand d folly of translating d Bible wt out knowledge) & upon this rock (Petros used again), I wld build MY church (nt a church) & the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. So d only way u can say d church of Christ wasn't built on Peter (d 1st pope) is either if u don't understand English language or u r trying 2 contradict Jesus (bows). Dts 1 of my problems wt most Pentecostals /Protestants. U twist scripture 2 suit ur interests always glossing over or cutting out d incriminating parts dt contradict u all in a bid 2 deceive d gullible. Dis is a hard saying dt only a mature & knowledgeable xtian can take. Jesus left 1 entity when he left 4 heaven & later on sent d 2nd entity & neither of dem was d Bible. D 1st was His church wt Peter as head & d 2nd was d Holy spirit (paraclete) 2 guide her (d church). So wt u said abt d word of God as d rock referred 2 doesn't hold water. D Bible wasn't compiled (or as u say written) until after d death of D apostles & if u follow wt u preach isn't d Bible d total word of God? So in line wt d Bible verse i quoted, any church nt built on Peter is no true church of Christ. Even scripture invalidates d existence of ur church. U accuse d church of shutting d way 2 heaven lyk d pharisee? Hw? By telling d truth 2 scions of rebellion called 'churches'? Bob Marley said "if u knew ur history, then u wld know where u r coming 4rm". Dig deep & u wld find out @ 1 point in d history of ur church, ur founder either broke away 4rm his spiritual superior on a hostile manner or clandestinely went 2 set up wt out approval & blessing 4rm his previous place of worship a times taking wt him members of dt congregation. Is dt wt u call being led by d Holy spirit? Is dt His modus operandi? Creating division, strife, disunity & most tyms hatred in d body of Christ? I don't think so. Anyone dt does dt is nt a sheep in d Lord's flock rather he/she is a goat. As 4 dt issue abt y d church is called "Roman Catholic" u already know y it's called Catholic (I explained earlier) d Roman is due d fact dt d pope is also d bishop of Rome. Rome played a very huge part in d history of D church. St Paul was beheaded dere. Dere was a lot of persecution of early xtians dere as it was d capital of D world then. As 4 translation of D Bible, I pointed out ur folly earlier on. When deres a translation, deres always a loss of complete meaning (language experts can testify), yes d church was overzealous in its bid 2 prevent translation of D Bible 4rm its original languages bt it was ryt. Nw every Tom, dick & Harry picks d Bible, haphazardly reads it & draws 2 wteva conclusions he can fit. Dts y c 1 man who claims 2 have gone 2 'Bible college' 4 3 months giving himself titles lyk pastor evangelist, apostle & so on going 2 establish a church, claiming 2 b led by d spirit. Tell me is it possible 2 gain an in depth knowledge of D things of God on so short a tym? 2 b cont'd... |

What? You didn't listen, I said Jesus said: My sheep know My voice.1 John 1:5-6 "This is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you, that god is light, and in Him there is no darkness at all. If we say we have fellowship with Him and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practise the truth. 1 Timothy 6:5 "Men of corrupt minds destitute of the truth who suppose that godliness is the means of financial Gain, From such withdraw yourselves. Is this your only evidence you can provide, do you really believe these men are pentecostal, protestants, men walking with God? Is not the Catholic Church the most riches Church that stands. Do you not pay large amounts of monies to keep you out of purgatory, to free your love ones from that place of torment. What differences are these preaches to your priest? Both collecting riches.gemale: cont'd... D result of dis is d huge amount of half-baked preachers deceiving gullible pple left, ryt & center. Of dem Jesus Christ (bows) says, "can d blind lead d blind? Dey wld both fall in a pit". Some of dem r so crafty dt dey twist d sacred words of Scripture 2 support their nefarious interests lyk amassing wealth. Oda use it 4 oda dreadful acts. U must have heard abt fiascos lyk d Jim Jones Mass suicide in Guyana. U accuse d Catholic church of being 2day's pharisee bt listen 2 these Matt 23:23 "Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You give a tenthof your spices—mint, dill and cumin. But you have neglected the more important matters of the law—justice, mercy and faithfulness". Is dt a practice rampant in most Pentecostal churches? Even on campuses, dey coerce students 2 pay tithe 4rm pocket money even when it's clear dt dey dnt earn wages bt r dependent on their parents. In verse 14, He says " Woe unto you, scribes and pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation." When a pastor tells d mostly poor pple in his church 2 'sow' D little dey have wt assurance dt dey wld get 'breakthrough', is he nt lyk d pharisees ? Dey tell a young man/woman 2 'sow' their 1st salary oblivious 2 D huge financial responsibilities dey might face. Meanwhile d pastor drives d flashiest cars, lives luxuriously & even might fly private Jets while his gullible followers r living in abject penury. Hw Christ like is dt? |

Is this the only way you would describe who Jesus is? Not even in your own words you couldn't tell me how much Jesus means to you? Are you sure this is your only way you can describe someone you love so dearly? Did I ask you not to pass on any scriptures, describe Jesus from your heart, not the heart of someone else. Passing Peters description did not come from Peter. So your description is not your own-and because I am expecting you to give something different from that of Peter or the scriptures is not possible.

Its always the same old saying brocab hates Catholic's, My wife is a Catholic, but the differences between you and she, she loves Jesus, more then I have heard any of you say about Him on this forum. You put Mary first before Jesus. My wife don't pray the rosaries, nor does she worship Mary, nor bow down to her while walking into the Church. She worships Jesus everyday, I have asked this very same question, and none of you had even tried to answer it, shedding a little light on the subject could make a huge difference. Is their two types of Catholic's?You in the other hand have twisted my words once again, I don't hate you, it seems the Catholic's love casting that first stone, if you truly believe that Jesus came here to save the sinners, not the righteous, Then why does the Catholic Church believe their Church is the Mother Church, is this your only evidence to prove you are the vine? Or lets say the foundation? Is this away of mocking, that not even the smaller Churches-can retrieve any of the above, Having No honour Nor glory, that only the Mother Church, can receive from her flock. What does this mean? It's only the Mother Church who has the rights to be able to stand above, given yourselves full rights, calling yourselves righteousness, is this the true foundations you believe Jesus had stated? Are you not classed as the Pharisees, Jesus spoke about' back then? Matthew 23:13 "Woe to you, teachers of the law Pharisees you hypocrites! For you shut up the kingdom of heaven against men, for ye neither go in yourselves, nor allow anyone to go in. One Catholic in the past had told me on this forum-she would beat her chest and swear, there was no such sign that stands anywhere outside of any Church that reads the Roman Catholic Church. Sadly enough, I let my fingers do the walking, and I found the evidence these signs were everywhere, And because of my honesty, I was abused and slapped and kicked in the face by the Catholic's in all directions-verbally, Only because I found the truth. And still you have the cheek calling me a Catholic Hater. Why do Catholic's believe they are the vine that lives. Why do they believe the Church stands on stronger foundations, then the rest? {John 15:1}"I am the true vine {John 14:6} "I am the way and the truth and the life. 1 Corinthians 3:11 "For no man can lay any foundation, then that is laid which is Jesus Christ. Ephesians 2:20 "And are Built on the foundation of the apostles and the prophets, Jesus Christ Himself is the chief corner stone. Matthew 16:16 "Jesus asked who do you say who I am, Peter answered him, saying you are the Son of the Living God, Jesus said, this did not come from flesh and blood, but my Father in heaven, and on this rock {which means the word} I will build My Church. Its funny how the Catholic Church had truly put this scripture through the mill-This scripture has nothing to do with Peter building your Church. The Church of Jesus Christ is the word of God.If You are still wondering why the protestants, are leaving your Church, it is not because you believe you are the true vine, or the true foundations. Its because the lord had called them out from among you, Jesus said My sheep know My voice.I honestly believe when Jesus spoke the the Pharisees back then, He is still speaking to the Pharisees today. As history had repeated itself, the protestants were slaughtered by the Catholic Church, they had risked their lives to save our lives, finding Christ as their Lord and savour, only because they believed in Christ, more then they believed in the Catholic Church it self. Acting like soldiers, they changed the word of God from the Greek language to English, and paid the price and died a horrible death, in the name of Jesus. By THE ONE AND ONLY the Mother Church, that same Church the Catholic's call home. We can not deny the truth, nor shall you.gemale: Ur last sentence is true so wt can u say abt som1 who cs a false post online, doesn't verify its truth /falsity or maybe he does bt because he hates d Catholic decides 2 post it proclaiming it as d truth & pple c dis post & also wt out verifyn it launch assault on d Catholic church; some even naming d pope as antichrist? Do dey manifest d spirit of God in dt act? No its d spirit of falsehood exhibited by d serpent of old in eden & d lack of D spirit of discernment by both d op & most of d posters respectively. U compared d Catholic church 2 head of a body. I beg 2 differ. Jesus is d head of D Catholic church wt d pope as a visible head. Protestant/Pentecostals r lyk parts of dt body dt decided 2 separate 4rm dt body. U decided nt 2 submit 2 D authority of Catholic church. U r lyk d branch in d parable dt cuts itself 4rm d living vine. It might remain green @ 1st bt eventually it withers & dies. Dts y u c a lot of churches dt either folds up afta d death of their founders or divides further. Instead of being built on Christ d solid rock, most of these churches r built on d 'anointing' ( actually I think it's more of charisma) of their founders which is nothing but sinking sand. D part where u began blaming d Catholic church was q bit fuzzy 2 me bt i wld try 2 explain based on my assumptions. U r berating d church 4 condoning d presence of sinners in it. Wasn't it Jesus Christ who said "I have nt come 2 call d righteous bt sinners 2 repentance". D church doesn't condone sins bt welcome sinners 2 convert 4rm their old ways. Ur accusatory tone smacks of self-righteousness & a holier-than-thou attitude dt is unxtian. |
