The only difference between human beings and pots is the breath of life.

So in truth human beings are justs mere pots that God put His breath into, hence they are no really different from mere pots but for the grace and mercy of God.

jesusjnr2:
A pot is even much better than you, as it hasn't been proven itself to a waste of the breath of life as you have proven thus far.

Dust and ashes you with a waste of a brain.

Hence God can destroy any or all of them anytime He chooses to and He would yet be perfect as He was and would always be.

frank317:
How did they even come about comparing humans with pot? So much lack of intelligence in that.

Christians and confusion are Like 5 & 6.

You ask why God gave us freewill, they ask why if you would prefer God created u as a robot.

You use ur free will to questions some inconsistencies relating to God, they will want u to act like a robot by comparing u to an inanimate object like a pot (not even a robot) thereby indirectly telling u the freewill God gave u shouldn't be used.

Gosh

Contemporary Nigerian writers have a saying.... "Naija no de3y read". The same goes for the entire Africa, with the exception of South Africa and Kenya. They are the only reader nations in Africa and the market there is not even that much. So remind me again, sir, why i should post my book details here? I'm actually one of the best writers over in Nairalaqnds literature section, I promise i need no more Naija publicity.

jesusjnr2:
Yes you as a pot that God made, the only difference is that you are a living pot by the mercy and grace of God, and if God chooses to destroy you and all the other pots that He made, He'd still perfect and there'd be no single error in Him.

Yes God the Creator is permanently perfect!

the blood of Jesus is the price for the redemption of man.

Righteousness is a gift that comes by faith in Jesus.

solite3:
it is not a head knowledge, spiritual birth is an experience.

solite3:
Righteousness on a human level mean moral uprightness but on a divine level it means right standing with, the reflection of the nature of God. sometimes what humans consider to be right is far from be right with God.
Isaiah 55:8-9 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.
For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

the way God thinks is far removed from the way man thinks.
Consider how the heavens are much higher than the earth so are God's ways than mans ways.

Man can only forsake his way not try to change or modify but totally abandon his ways and accept God's way.

What is God's way?


1 Corinthians 1:18-29 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.
For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.
Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?
For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.
For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:
But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness;
But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.
Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:
But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;
And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:
That no flesh should glory in his presence.



God has chosen the foolishness of the gospel of the cross of Jesus to save the world.

To many the gospel looks foolish but is it?
it looks foolishness because it does not give man the privilege of boasting in his own righteousness or works but on the saviour Jesus Christ alone.

solite3:
lets hear what Jesus himself said

John 3:1-12 There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:
The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.
Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?
Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be?
Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things?
Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.
If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?


you will not understand spiritual things except you have experience spiritual birth.

christianity is spiritual, human cognition can not comprehend it.

because you are flesh the things of the Spirit will not make sense to you.

jesusjnr2:
When I see the extent to which mere dust and ashes feel that because they now have brains, that they now have the right to question God their Maker, because He has made them to be any more than the mere sculptures they were before He breathed the breath of life into them which made them to become living souls, i don't really blame them a times because if God the Creator had not trusted them with such ability, what will such ingrates have to question God with?

Because it's just like mere clay questioning the potter for making it into a sculpture and yet destroying the sculpture and grinding it to powder because He didn't like the outcome of it?

But of course that extent of humility is also what has endeared me to God the Creator to this extent, and makes me want to go to any length for Him, even to the death, because only Him can take such nonsense from mere dust and ashes that are only able to question Him because of the brain that He gave to them.

For if not for who God is, na who born man?

Hence this similar question by the famous psalmist, even a man after God's heart, who was also dumbfounded by the extent of God humility with respect to man, that made him ask God the question:

"What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him." Psalms 8:4 (KJV)

So what is really this glorified dust and ashes ingrate of a man, that God would yet be mindful of him?

For any right that man had to question God, if he ever had any, he relinquished the very moment he disobeyed the commandment of his Creator and sinned against Him in the beginning.

So regardless of what God chooses to do with him, after his rebellion against Him, man does not have any single right to question Him, because the only reason man is not yet dead is only because of his Creator's grace and mercy, for if not man would have long perished and returned to the dust and ashes that he truly is, and truly deserves to be.

Therefore even though God has decided to consider man's righteousness and obedience of His Word and uses it as a requirement to give man a second chance to have the eternal life and rights he lost as a result of his disobedience in the beginning, it's not that man deserves it, but only because God decided to have mercy on man.

Hence if God decides to take that away from man and goes ahead to destroy every human being from the face of the earth right this very moment, it would not take anything away from Him or make Him any less perfect than He is, because the only reason man isn't yet dead and completely destroyed is because of His grace and mercy.

But anyone who claims to believe in God and yet thinks otherwise, is only a temptation away from rebelling against God His Creator, even as man did in the beginning, because of such a foolish orientation.

solite3:
psalm 15 talks about 100% perfection which no moral righteousness can ever attain.


it is called The fruit of the Spirit in other words the products of the Spirit of Jesus in a regenerated man.
In other words the fruit of the Spirit is the result of the true Righteousness (Jesus Christ) dwelling in that man.

solite3:
Only the blood of Jesus can Justify a man ( grant him unconditional forgiveness and declare righteous) before God.

I can bet Nigeria has enough installed capacity to provide near uninterrupted power. Unfortunately this capacity lies on the premises of individuals, corporate organizations and industries. What we need is the political will to open up the power sector and detach it from cartels and the application of technology ti harness it.

For instance I have a 60kva generator in my home and a 200kva generator at my office. When I leave for work in the morning my energy consumption drops to a capacity of 5kva. Instead of wasting 55kva doing the laundry and cleaning the house I can have a smart two way meter through a charge controller to pump the excess 55 kva capacity into the electricity grid and either get a cash payment frorn the supply or the equivalent discounts on my future electricity bill or a recharge on my tot up power card similar to making a bank deposit into my account.

Then your generator can be as effective as your personal car doing a rush hour taxi run while you are still at the office, just a lot more discreet and patriotic. Incentify the process by providing smart two way meters and watch as 20,000 megawatts is instantly made available to the national.grid.

We need to think out of the box in Nigeria to survive.

AngelicBeing:
Just imagine a church that is less than a local government in Nigeria constructing 1000 MW plus the 15MW they already have that is functioning, can you imagine if the various useless satanic government from 1979 till the current Oldman in Abuja embarks in similar project the issue of power would have been addressed, why not allow 3 or more local government in each state of Nigeria construct 500 MW yearly, state governors should construct 1000MW while the federal government should construct 2000 MW yearly, Nigeria will have 24/7 Power but they are looting and stealing.

God bless Bishop Oyedepo, l don't care wether it is tithes, offering, peace offerings, lamb offerings, special seeds etc but one thing I know, is that, it is working in the winners Chapel, Buhari should beg oyedepo to come and teach him governance

paxonel:
that is because the almajiris in the north who gave buhari more than 2 million votes in kano, kaduna and bornu which gave buhari victory were never educated enough to read websites like nairaland on phones, talkess of knowing what they were doing by voting buhari.

The educated nigerians who knows that buhari is a big mess to this nation in the next 4 years again are the ones having access to the internet and nairaland liking and sharing.

But incase you are educated and you voted for the primitive buhari, dont worry, are all suffering the consequence together with the illiterate almajiris who knows nothing

@budaatum

Indeed. From the onset, I told you there is this esoteric Christian practice whereby people are to read one chapter of proverbs a day for a whole standard month.

I was taught about that by a rosicrucian. Funny, most of the pearls of Christianity are kept in esoteric paths that classical exoterical Christians abhor.

Good one.
