You must have heard it called the God of the gap. If so, and though many "religious people" would disagree, one might rightly assume God = x, after all there's quite a lot of words that imply God is unknowable and unfathomable and so on like x, though, in maths, x is usually knowable and fathomable unlike gaps.

However, consider "worship x" to mean, love one another, and "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it and rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground." For only then is one blessed.

joseph1013:
GOD, THE X FACTOR

When solving a problem using algebra it's common to refer to the unknown quantity as "x". It would save a huge amount of confusion if religious people would learn this simple principle.

For example, when theists consider the great problems of how humans came to be conscious, or how DNA came to encode the proteins necessary for life, or the granddaddy of all such problems, how the universe came to exist, they correctly conclude that we do not yet know the answers to these problems. But instead of saying, for example, "Let x = the cause of the universe", where x is an unknown process, force or agency, they say "God is the cause of the universe".

All but the dimmest theists know this is an attempt at sleight of hand. God ? an unknown process, force or agency. God refers to a specific agent (usually one the theist's mum believed in).

So theists, if you wish to use this argument, use it correctly. Conclude that x, an unknown process, force or agency, caused the universe. If you wish to pray to x, sing hymns to it, humble yourself before it and pay offerings in honour of it, that is your prerogative.

But don't be surprised if the rest of us shake our heads and roll our eyes in silent incredulity.

One does not "believe" in buddhism. Believe is what [url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=James+2%3A19&version=NIV]satan does[/url] and yet shudders. To understand and know is a basic tenet and you cannot save anyone if you yourself are ignorant.

Yes, He has. The scriptures says:

"That if you shall confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved" (Roman 10:9).

My mouth and heart are in harmony, saying the same thing. The resurrection of Christ is the heart of the gospel, I also believe that I am raised with Him. Jesus died for me down here that I may live in Him up there in heaven and that He might live in me down here. Enough said.

What is the difference between resurrection and reincarnation in your opinion, would you say that you've been reincarnated?
If Christ lives in you one would see it in your fruits, yet almost all your threads say "Thank you Lord that you are not like the tax collector." That, is the sin of [url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke+18%3A9-14&version=NLT]hubris[/url] which you seem to be unaware you commit with seeming impunity despite Christ clearly stating the [url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+7%3A21-23&version=KJV]wages of such sinning[/url].

Jesus died and resurrected bodily. What is your understanding of the word 'resurrection', do you believe Jesus resurrected bodily? undecided
So it is written: “The first man Adam became a living being; the last Adam, [url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Corinthians+15%3A45&version=NIV]a life-giving spirit[/url].

For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.

For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit .

Therefore, from now on, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him thus no longer. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, [url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2+Corinthians+5%3A16-21&version=NKJV]all things have become new[/url].

For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? And if you greet your brethren only, what do you do more than others? Do not even the tax collectors do so? Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.

There is an emergency at the southern border, and urgent action must be taken to remedy the situation. The Learned Justices must support President Trump to make america safe
The SC is not going to be concerned about the wall. The case before them is one of separation of powers and who gets to authorise government spending which currently lays with Congress. If that authority is handed to the president, it would set a precedent that other presidents would be able to take advantage of. I'd personally be surprised if they did that.

You know absolutely nothing about Buddha. You know absolutely nothing about what is meant by Jesus resurrected. And you know absolutely nothing about me. And however you look at it, it is very unchristian to make up stuff in your head without evidence of what you claim!

Did Jesus not emphatically say “The coming of the kingdom of God is not something that can be observed, nor will people say, ‘Here it is,’ or ‘There it is,’ because the kingdom of God is in your midst”?

Yet, here is you telling me to go look here and there for a resurrected Christ and a Kingdom of God as if when the Messiah said he'd send the Comforter he only sent it to you!

I understand your point very clearly and it is nothing like what I understand Jesus taught. He specifically asked one to remove the forest from one's own eye and not what you constantly do which is pointing to the twig in the eye's of others while being blind yourself. How some adopt the attitude of the Pharisees that Jesus constantly railed against and claim it is Jesus they worship just baffles me! They read and believe but they produce nothing because they seek not an understanding of that which is of God's Kingdom and therefore are fruitless!

You may want to allow some spat on mud to be rubbed in your eyes so you can see my opinion of such people instead of claiming there is a demon called "new age" in buda.

It is very obvious from your fruits what is within and what you bring in our midst Degbu. You might want to [url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+5%3A1-16&version=NKJV]read[/url] what Jesus said about some to check if you are on the right track!

OLAADEGBU:
The reason why you are having problems understanding my point is because we have different interpretations of the word of God and I thought I addressed this in this thread. --> https://www.nairaland.com/5225967/kingdom-god-within-jesus-mystic

The more reason why we should establish what we mean when we use terms because they mean different things. What a New Ager means by the kingdom of God is fundamentally different from what a Christian means it to be. You are led to believe that the Kingdom of God is already in our midst and can be accessed by New Age consciousness who you mistake for the Comforter. We Christians believe otherwise. The Comforter Christ promised is the One who inspired Paul to write that letter to the Corinthians. Paul saw the resurrected Christ on his way to Damascus and today all who believe in Jesus' death, burial and bodily resurrection receive the power to become children of God and the kingdom of God dwells inside of them as they believe in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

The following is for those who wish to know about the Buddha's death. I've included The Dharma Chakra (Sanskrit: Dharma Chakra Pali: dhammacakka, "Wheel of Dharma" ) for those who would research further. I will suggest Jesus would say, "Whoever is not against us is for us" (Luke 9:50; Mark 9:40). And I will hope the folly of not living on every word that is Godly, is recognised.


The Mahāparinibbāṇa Sutta is Sutta 16 in the Digha Nikaya, a scripture belonging the Sutta Pitaka of Theravada Buddhism. It concerns the end of Gautama Buddha's life - his parinibbana - and is the longest sutta of the Pāli Canon. Because of its attention to detail, it has been resorted to as the principal source of reference in most standard accounts of the Buddha's death.

Christianity Etc › Re: Does It Matter That Buddha Came Long Before Jesus? by budaatum: 5:50pm On Jul 23, 2019
The book of Corinthians was written by Paul. He was not an eyewitness! And as usual, you wish to blind your eyes and make out my claim is Christ did not ressurect when I've clearly said the opposite. And Buddha never said he would not die!

Sorry dude, I see no point in discussing with you. My point is made for those who have eyes and are not blind and can read.


OLAADEGBU:
"For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the scriptures: And that He was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, He was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain to this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, He was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all He was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time." (1 Corinthians 15:3-8).

It is true that Jesus died and was buried according to the scriptures. You can see that it was not only prophecied, Jesus fulfilled the prophecy and the prophecy was witnessed by His disciples. What more evidence do you want in a court of law other than an eyewitness account? Who witnessed your Buddha's resurrection and where was it documented? undecided

So why did you say God will condemn everyone except the Muslims if you don't know the meaning of Muslims ?
Its the op that makes that claim! Did you not read it?

Abdulgaffar22:
The only exception we have is ISLAM.

ISLAM is the ONLY faith on earth that satisfied the EXPECTATION made mention above in the Premise 2.

That is to say, the word "ISLAM" is found on the many pages of the scripture ( i:e the Qur'an) used by the Muslims. For example, Qur'an 5:3 read as follows;

"This day, I (God ) have perfected your faith for you, and I (God) have completed MY favour upon you, and I(God) have chosen for you ISLAM as your faith".

The analysis is only meant to show that if God really exist and there is only one faith approved by this God, then this faith could not have been any other faith except ISLAM. Hope it is clear !

But God Almighty Himself has carefully coined the word "ISLAM" so that Islam would continue to remain as the NAME of only faith that ever came from God.

The word "Islam" means ; submission to the will of God (see Qur'an 2:112). Those who submit in this manner are called Muslims (i:e submitters to the will of God).

Christianity Etc › Re: Are We Saved By Faith Alone, Or Do We Need Works, Too? by budaatum: 4:48pm On Jul 23, 2019
Way before sin, God gave humans work when it is said, "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground". I count five instructions to work right there, and it would be a rather odd argument to claim those who do those five things are not those God blesses.

I guess the argument is whom has God blessed? Check the average lifespan of people in UK (80.96 years), Japan (83.98) and even China (76.25) and compare it with that of Nigeria (53.43). Which would you claim is blessed? Or would your understanding of God give you a shorter more brutal existence on earth in exchange for eternal life? I'm sure we are all intelligent enough to determine which of these countries we'd rather live in.

Mere loving one's neighbour is immense work which those who promote a doctrine of no work would not do. My evidence for their not doing work is their unfruitfulness or the production of fruits which are bitter and sour and not fit for consumption. And I say mere, though love is the most essential of works, it is the most basic of works that one must do along with the immense work of loving one's God, an understanding of which requires immense work. For just reading Scripture is months of work and understanding it is a lifetime of work, and by the fruits of love we have for our neighbor and our God are we surely known. Those who work not are fruitless!

I am going to rely on the Holy Ghost, if it be in you, to determine if what I've said here is a lie. I'd also rely on your experience too. Just consider. Does your daily bread fall from heaven in accordance with your lack of work, or does your God show you what work to do to get your daily bread? Think too of the implications of your doctrines. Would you rather your very own child adopt a doctrine of non-essentiality of work? Would your child be fruitful if it works not?

You might claim that what you receive from God is way more than your daily bread or the fruitfulness of your child, and to be sincere, I'd argue not, for God so loved the world, and just consider how immense your poverty would be if you had not by Grace had the Gospel preached to you. But I'd have you consider if you have salvation or are righteous before the Lord if you have no daily bread or if your child is fruitless? Would you claim God has blessed and saved you and that you are righteous when you starve or when your child amounts to nothing? Is it not true that those who do the immense works listed in the 15th Psalm that will dwell in the Lords tabernacle of Grace and Salvation?

A favourite argument of the no work brigade is to claim salvation is by grace alone. They bring up amongst other Scripture, the [url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke+23%3A39-43&version=NIV]penitent thief[/url] who said “Don’t you fear God even when you have been sentenced to die? We deserve to die for our crimes, but this man hasn’t done anything wrong”, and say he did no work, when the truth is he was penitent, which is work according to the doctrine of the confession of sins. He also obviously had done work to know God despite failing to do God's will, for it takes the work of the use of the brain and mind to reason as he did, and for this work was he rewarded with paradise. However, you are not a penitent thief! Unless of course you are one who has not yet received God's Grace and studied the Word. And if you are a penitent thief, must you not then do work of repentance and after do the work of cross carrying by ensuring the [url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Galatians+5%3A22-23&version=NIV]fruits[/url] of the Spirit which are love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control, against such things there is no law, and which are all work, not work in you? Can any fruits be produced without work? Is a fruitless person saved, or righteous or even of the Lord God Almighty?

Do note that we thrashed this out extensively in this thread, and my comment here is so we not be deceived on the mount by that which is an evil doctrine of perdition!

The doctrine of no work is a doctrine of death. It is the doctrine of stones and serpents instead of one of life. Those who work are fruitful and increase and fill and subdue and rule and are therefore blessed, while those who work not reap not and die!
