Brendaniel: I get what you are trying to say too, but don't get us wrong, I know the world might still go on for lots of centuries who knows, the main focus for Christians here is the persecution of Christians, it hurts whenever i see or hear of Christians been persecuted for their faith, we also know the devil is happy whenever Christians are persecuted, so do we just fold our arms and let the Christians be killed, arrested and shutdown because of their faith, we will do what we can and that's what we are doing, this is our time, what will be recorded about us if the bible is to be re-written again, that the Christians didn't pray for themselves or give support where they could when they had the opportunity, we will do something and that's what we are doing, like I said earlier if the Christians folded their arms when they were killing the disciples they may have not been any disciple left to speak up and propagate the gospel at some point, so we are only doing what we are supposed to do, it's like you saying that because God said people will go to hell then you just fold your arms and not preach the gospel and say that God has already said that people will go to hell so there is no need to preach the gospel, then why did the bible tell us to preach the gospel, we know that some people will not still be saved even when we do it, but we have to do it, same way we have to do this even if it doesn't work, we will make an effort, so don't think anyone is being fanatic, this is our generation and time and we will also try control the situations too to favour us Christians... Don't waste time on those people. Adolfus Hitler murdered millions and is a hero to many today. |

GamalNasser: Reform Nigerians. ..the problem is Nigerians not the police ..Na from among Nigerians we de recruit police Rubbish talk. If you mandate the police to maintain video evidence of handling of suspects from entry to exit, most of these extra-judicial killings will go away. You reform the faulty unit in a system and don't change the whole system at the slightest sign of a fault. |

jesusjnr2020: There Are Going To Be Many Surprises On That Day
Many Christians who were so sure and confident that Donald Trump would win reelection, are yet reeling from the shock and disappointment of his loss.
But their shock and disappointment at the outcome of the US elections would be nothing compared to that which would take place on the last day.
The reason is because many Christians have refused to heed and abide by the Sayings of Jesus, but have rather chosen to go with those of other men and the inclinations of their flesh.
Because Jesus had forewarned us concerning those things that would take place on that day:
Matthew 7:22-23 (KJV) Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
So who else could Jesus have meant by "many" who had prophesied, cast out devils, done many wonderful works in His name, yet would be turned back on the last day, but many leaders and anointed ministers in the church and not just floor members?
Yet many Christians have chosen to keep a blind eye to this warning of Jesus, even though they very well know that these are the lasts days that Jesus warned us about.
Hence they should brace themselves for even many more shocks and disappointments on the last day, because that's what happens to all those who chose not to take the Sayings of Jesus seriously.
God bless. Many will be turned back on that day because of the iniquity they are working. That takes us to the question of what constitute "working of iniquity"? |
Christianity Etc › Re: The Danger Of Believing Too Much In God Will Save You by CodeTemplar: 10:20pm On Nov 07, 2020 |
tobechi74: There are a lot of people on the planet right now who carry an extremely strong and fervent belief that God is completely in control of what happens to them.
If they win the lottery, it’s because God is rewarding them.
If they suffer an illness, it’s because God is punishing them.
If they get a new job, it’s because God arranged it.
If they lose a child, it’s because God wanted that child back in Heaven.
But there is an incredible danger in believing that someone else is in control of your life. When bad things happen to you, you will say it’s God’s will and that you must have angered him so he is punishing you. When good things happen to you, you will believe God had a hand in making it happen, to reward you for something.
But what if some tragedy happens, like your child gets sick with cancer. You pray to God to let your child live. You make promises to God so he will grant your child life. “Please, Lord, if you just make Susie well again I will devote my life to you and donate all my money to the church.”
What happens then if your child dies? Maybe you hate God. Maybe you feel like you deserved some horrible punishment for a transgression you may not even be aware you made. Maybe you sink into an extreme depression believing God has forsaken you and you lose all connection to your spirituality. Maybe you even feel angry and betrayed “I gave you EVERYTHING and you still took my child! Screw you!”
But what if your child’s death wasn’t caused or willed by God? What if your baby died because her body was too damaged to support life? What if tragedy happens because of cause and effect and not God’s will?
There is danger, too, in believing that all the good things you’ve gotten in life were because God willed it. Maybe you thank the Lord for getting you that new job. Maybe you thank God you met the partner of your dreams. Maybe you thank God for healing you. On the surface it doesn’t seem like there’s any harm to thanking a deity for giving you good things in life.
But there is a danger. Maybe you got the job because you worked really hard. Maybe you met the partner of your dreams because you dated 30 people and figured out what you liked and didn’t like and finally found the right partner through trial and error. Maybe you got healed because you started taking care of yourself better or you chose to try a new medication.
If you give God all the credit, you are then at his mercy aren’t you? Always wondering when you might displease God and be struck down with ill fortune. Always trying to be perfect and saintly so he will reward your piety.
Believing that God can and will save you is giving up your power. You may not take action because you believe God will provide. “If God wants me to eat then food will show up at my door.” Or “If God wants me to get a job then someone will call me with one.”
It’s a powerless way to live.
It’s not wrong to hope and pray for good outcomes. But there is a danger in tying your sense of self-worth and what you deserve in life to a deity’s whim and judgment. You will never feel good enough or powerful enough to have what you desire.
In my experience, God is hands off. He sets your feet upon the earth and says “Go, play, have fun. I’ll see you when you get home. Be nice to others and help each other.” And that’s it.
What you then experience is due to cause and effect. If you choose to drop out of high school, you probably won’t become a doctor. If you choose to steal, you will likely end up in jail. If you choose to hurt someone, you will probably not feel good about yourself.
Likewise, if you work hard, you will likely see some good success. If you are kind to others, you will probably attract kindness back. If you are loving, you will be loved back.
Cause and effect.
So when the good things happen, it’s because you made them happen or you were a vibrational match for those experiences. And when bad things happen, it’s because you made those happen too.
Does God care about your well-being? Yes, he does.
But he’s not there to save you or hurt you. You are going to do that all by yourself.
There are no rewards and punishments. Just choices and consequences. Own your choices and you’ll own your consequences Pavlina God is in control of the affairs of the world within His riches or limits. He has given us a soul to influence it too. |

Kobojunkie: So the conclusion here is that God is a liar?  When God claimed to be in that control of it all, He lied? When Jesus Christ said to seek the Kingdom of God and God's righteousness, and all will be added, He, Jesus Christ, lied?  You sound dumb. You and OP. |
