What is so hard about saying, "by the way there is a serpent here that will try to convince you otherwise. he will mislead you so don't listen to him, just a heads up" This simple two sentences is too difficult for an all-powerful god to utter to his creations? Especially given the stakes? The mental gymnastics is strong.

Not quite!

Satan is a complex being. You can't pin him to any particular action or situation. If God had said to Adam and Eve ''Hey, look out for serpent, your enemy may use it to deceive you..'' Please read below for the situation in the Garden of Eden.

First, man knew nothing about Satan. The whole concept of Satan could not sink because Satan is invisible.

Second, Satan would use another method to carry out his enterprise. This is perhaps the most difficult aspect of Satan's nature. He can manifest in any form he chooses.

So, the problem was not about God, but the limitation of man's understanding.

Man simply did not know that Satan was in the garden/earth. The story is the same for every one who repudiates the existence of God and Satan.



To underscore my posit on this issue, I'd like to ask you a question:

Do you know that Satan is the ruler of this world?

I urge you to read an interesting article on http://faithfuljoel.com/2015/07/the-tree-of-knowledge-of-good-evil/

God planted the tree of knowledge of good and evil to alert Adam that Satan was in the garden. God did not intend to test man's obedience through the tree, but to communicate to Adam and Eve that evil spirits were in the garden with them.

Adam knew nothing about the invisible enemy. God knew Satan was in the garden, but since Adam did not give name to Lucifer, coupled with the fact that Lucifer/Satan is invisible, there was a problem communicating the nature and mission of Satan to Adam and Eve. Hence, God planted the tree of knowledge and evil to induce the adversary to reveal himself.

Who else but Satan would kick against God's instruction? Adam and Eve would never have sinned deliberately without influence.

Religion is man's efforts at reaching God. Hence it is characterized by rigidity, fear, alms giving, and routine.

True Christianity, on the other hand, is relationship based. It is characterized by love, faith, God's leading, joy, confidence, and peace.

Is religion a thing of the mind?

Yes! Religion stems from the mind, but Christianity is by regeneration of the human spirit - Inward revelation of the Lord Jesus Christ, otherwise known as New Birth.

Religion and Christianity are like two parallel lines that can never meet.,

Not all married men cheat. The cheating ones are under the force of sin.

Happy sunday friends and families

Pls I want us to share our views on what we think about pornography....if it's good for Christian couples to watch pornography maybe because of inexperience or sth or its not good to watch...

I think pornography is practical wrong for Christian couples whether inexperience or not I believe sex is an expression of love and u make love to Ur spouse base on how u feel u want to express ur sexual burning desire. I think pornography is not ideal, to me I don't see the holy spirit encouraging that, but I could be wrong so please I need your sincere thought on dis...Pls not of a carnal mindset...but on the spiritual foresight with biblical backings if any thnx
posted it here because romance section have full traffic Dan religion let's air out view thnx

Pornography is bad. There's nothing educative about porn

Christians should avoid watching anything that adds no spiritual value to their lives.

Yes you're right. Gej would have turned himself to Merlin and performed some abracadabra to keep the oil price at $110/bbl. Afterall, he's goodluck.
He would also have used his invisible technology to fight yam eaters and people who like Dasuki, Tompolo et al who raped this country blind would have been given an award.
All hail Gej - The lord and savior of the yam eaters

Simply hilarious!

Sin: A Matter of Choice or Force?

Before Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden, God communed with them; but after they sinned, they were banished from the garden. Thus the consequence of sin is separation of man and God. The separation of man from his Maker inevitably exposes him to his adversary, Satan. Following the eviction of Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden, Satan took over the control of planet earth and the inhabitants thereof. Sickness, pain, and death are the direct and prolonged effects of sin, and these are used by Satan to afflict the natural man at will.

As stated in the Bible, the sin of Adam and Eve gave birth to the sinful nature; so by constitution man is sinful. Romans 3:23: “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.” Apart from separation of man from God, sin also exerts power over man through the law of sin and death, and this is the reason man has the propensity to commit sins. The account of sin in the book of Genesis shows that sin was a CHOICE made by man. But when the Lord Jesus came on the scene He hinted that sin is a FORCE. The Lord Jesus revealed this when He told the Jewish leaders of His time that there was no freedom from sin except by faith in Him.

“I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.” (John 8:24).

And to underscore His assertion, in verse thirty four of John chapter eight, He likens the relationship between man and sin to what obtains in a slave-master relationship - Force. “Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the slave of sin.”

In the Garden of Eden, sin was a choice, but outside Eden (in the world) sin has become a law (Force), acting on the natural man. The Bible is replete with references to the depraved and helpless nature of man at the grip of sin. In 1 Kings 8:46, Scripture says “If they sin against thee, (for there is no man that sinneth not),...” and the book of Job chapter fifteen, verse fourteen, says, “What is man that he should be clean? and he which is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?” and then in verses fifteen and sixteen, it says, “Behold he (GOD) putteth no trust in His saints/angels, yea, the heavens are not clean in His sight. How much more abominable and filthy is man, which drinketh iniquity like water?”

After the Lord Jesus Christ came to the world and atoned for the sins of Man, sin still remains a FORCE until the believer realizes his/her depravity and cry out for help. “For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish:” is the lamentation in Galatians 5:17.

What new converts realized at the time of regeneration is the vulgarity of their sins, hence their plead for mercy. After a while the new believer is bound to discover that sin is a force and then cry out for help before sanctification can take place.

In conclusion, the salvation of Man is two fold: one is forgiveness of sins, and the other is freedom from sinful nature. Without this two-fold experience, the believer cannot enjoy the reality of divine power in life and ministry.

What’s your take on this article? Is sin a choice or a force?

2 Easy Steps to Freedom from Masturbation, Sexual Struggles & All Compulsive Habits -

https://keystopurity.com

@depressedsoul:

You need inspiration and an idea to overcome poverty.

With these two gifts from the Holy Spirits, there's no power, natural or spiritual, that can impose poverty on you.

However, if you engage in any vice, such as sexual immorality, masturbation, or any compulsive habit, you may find it difficult to receive help from God until you seek freedom.

Suicide is a thought planted in your heart by evil spirits.

Sexual sins like Masturbation, Fornication, Adultery, etc, are the reasons many Christians are weak and not enjoying the power of God. Quite a number of believers are struggling secretly with one Sexual Sin or Compulsive Habit, and the effect is that many are weak spiritually and unable to enjoy uninterrupted fellowship with God.

The powers of darkness, on the other hand, take advantage of believers' weakness to rob them of God's blessings; hence many Christians are plagued with problems beyond their control.

In their quest to overcome sexual struggle, especially Masturbation, some believers subject themselves to constant fasting and prayers, hoping that by so doing they'll experience victory over the flesh. Though prayer, combined with fasting, is an important spiritual exercise that can help keep the body in check, but many believers soon discover that the effect is not far reaching.

What's the way out of spiritual weakness caused by sexual sins ?

Goshen360:
The prayer of Paul, an Apostle of Christ is, that their eyes of understanding be open so that the will know their inheritance in Christ.

These people are those who are in Christ, who Christ himself died for. They do not operate under a closed heaven since Christ was received into heaven. There's has never been a satanic agent obstructing the flow of Christ to her church because these satanic agents are already defeated and these people who Christ died for are sitted in heavenly place with Christ.

interesting!

But then, what the Lord Jesus accomplished on the Cross is a far cry from what obtains in modern day Christianity.

Many believers are still defeated, oppressed, and in a state of confusion.

Why?

1. Ignorance.

2. Deception.

3. Distraction (Entertainment).

4. Worldliness.

5. Wrong Orientation of the Christian faith.

6. Little Consciousness of the Holy Spirit

7. Wrong language.

Thanks!

Apart from adultery and attempted murder, there is no reason strong enough for divorce.

Marriage is God's idea. Get Him involved before you choose your partner.

I pray for people with marital crisis that God would step in and mend your relationship; IJN, Amen.

Interesting!

Igbos are rather the most aggressive people in Nigeria, business wise.

Their aggression on money matters is due to primordial instinct for survival and power, not necessarily because they love money.

Envy is defined as "a feeling of discontent or covetousness with regard to another's advantages, success, possessions, etc"

Hi everyone,
This is my predicament, have been dating this lady for almost two years now and anytime we want to have sex I usually don't have an erection. This is unlike me because usually I am very active when it comes to sex. Even when I watch a simple music videos I feel an erection in me. But anytime am about to make love to my fiancee, even if I had an erection it just goes down. Sometimes even when I succeed in having an erection it dies in the middle of the sex. We have never had a complete round of sex before. I thought something was wrong with me so I tried having sex with another lady and this didn't happen.
Please people I'm here because I need your help on what to do because am about to start marriage plans, but I don't want a marriage I will not enjoy or where I will be cheating outside. Please help me everyone including pastors in the house.
Thanks

"Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?" 2 Cor. 6:14.

"And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." Romans 12:2.

Light has no relationship with darkness.

Christians don't need nightclubs to unwind or fellowship.

“Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain.”  Ps 127:1 NRS 

Seeing your work as God’s will (3)

When your skill level is high but the challenge of the task is too low, you experience boredom. When your skill level is low and the challenge of the task is too high, you experience frustration and anxiety. But when the level of the challenge matches the level of your skills—then you’re “in the flow.” We don’t work mainly for money, recognition, promotion, applause, or fame. We work for flow. We live for flow. We hunger for flow, and when it’s present, something happens in our spirit as we connect with a reality beyond ourselves and partner with God. This is why the Psalmist says, “Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain.” Flow is part of what we experience in that partnership, and in that, God in turn uses flow to shape us. Bezalel experienced flow when he carved wood, David when he played the harp, Samson when he used his strength, Paul when he wrote a brilliant letter, Daniel when he ran a government, and Adam when he gardened. If other people report to you, one of the great spiritual acts of service you can perform is to ask whether they’re experiencing flow in their work, and help them experience it even more. When you’re working in the flow of service to God, when you’re experiencing flow in activities that enhance and bless the lives of others—you’re working “in the Spirit.” Paul was in the flow when he described himself as “poor, yet making many rich; having nothing, and yet possessing everything” (2Co 6:10 NIV).

Nice one! But some believers are in the wrong job, career, or profession.
